Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong were standing on the street idle, trying to find a way to have fun.

Zhong Yuemin wears a yellow tweed military hat on his head, and he holds the handlebars of his bicycle in his hand, one leg rests on the beam of the bike, and the other leg supports the ground. There was an air of arrogance on his well-defined face that was inappropriate for his age.

Yuan Jun stood aside, wearing a grass-green breeches and a military coat, and playing with a spring lock in his hand. Zheng Tong looked like a white-faced scholar, wearing glasses, wearing a blue uniform, and his hands in his trouser pockets.

It had just snowed a few days ago, and the ground had begun to melt, and the originally white and smooth road surface was made a mess by wheels and footprints. They coaxed unbridledly, pointing with their hands and staring at two pretty girls who had come out of a grocery store across the street.

Yuan Jun stabbed Zhong Yuemin with his hand, smiled evilly and said to Nunu across the street: "Yuemin, it's up to you this time." ”

Zhong Yuemin smiled and shook his head: "Don't let me make mistakes." ”

Zheng Tong sarcastically said: "The color is bold and small, right? ”

His companions rushed up and pushed and shoved him. Zhong Yuemin couldn't get off the stage under the coaxing of his companions, so he put his bicycle up, held his hat, and then staggered across the street.

Zhou Xiaobai came out with his good friend Luo Yun, and they originally wanted to go shopping, because it was really boring to stay at home.

Zhou Xiaobai's mood was very bad today, and in just half an hour, they were entangled by two groups of boys in a row. These people are really boring, even if you have the heart to pursue girls, you should be a little polite, and when you come up, you will be stunned and say "Hey, how about making a friend", isn't this looking for scolding? Zhou Xiaobai finally couldn't help it, and threw the box of ice cream he just bought on the face of a guy, the guy didn't expect this little girl to have such a big temper, and he was stunned there, Zhou Xiaobai pulled Luo Yun and turned around and walked out of the food store.

Who knew that as soon as he came out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den, Zhong Yuemin was waiting outside. He had a bright smile on his face, and he opened his mouth to say, "Ouch, isn't this my cousin, why did you meet here?" I haven't seen each other for two years, how are my aunt and uncle? ”

Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun were stunned, and said in their hearts, what is wrong with this person's illness, he calls his cousin when he opens his mouth, and he really treats himself as an outsider.

Zhou Xiaobai said angrily: "See clearly, who is your cousin?" ”

Zhong Yuemin's face did not change, and his face was sincere: "Cousin, don't you know me?" I'm your cousin, take a closer look. It's really the eighteenth change of the female university, and it's only been two years, and I can't even recognize it. ”

Zhong Yuemin's sincerity really frightened Zhou Xiaobai, this person really doesn't look like a bad person, maybe he recognized the wrong person.

Zhou Xiaobai's tone softened: "You recognize the wrong person, I'm not your cousin, and I don't have a cousin." ”

Zhong Yuemin was very stubborn: "Don't joke with your brother, you are my cousin Wang Xiaohong." ”

"I'll tell you again, my name is not Wang Xiaohong, you recognize the wrong person."

"Wrong person, right? You are really not Wang Xiaohong, so what is your name? ”

"My name is Zhou Xiaobai, do you understand now?"

Yes, Zhong Yuemin is waiting for this, and he took out the name of this little girl in just a few sentences, it seems that there is a drama today. Zhong Yuemin patted his head: "Yo, it seems that I really recognized the wrong person, I'm sorry, I'm really embarrassed to look at my old dizziness." ”

Zhou Xiaobai asked, "Are you still okay?" If it's okay, we'll go. ”

"Zhou Xiaobai, let's know each other, right? This is really fate, if I hadn't recognized the wrong person, we would have missed each other today, so wouldn't we hate it for life? Where are you going now? I'll send you off. ”

Zhou Xiaobai's face suddenly sank: "I understand, I recognized the wrong person, I still ran into hooligans again after making trouble for a long time, Luo Yun, let's go." ”

Zhong Yuemin stopped them with a hippie smile: "Yo, why do you turn your face when you talk about it?" Zhou Xiaobai, you really look like my cousin when you are angry, no, whether you are or not, I still recognize you as a sister today. ”

Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun didn't speak, but avoided Zhong Yuemin in disgust and continued to walk.

Zhong Yuemin was bored, he looked back at his companions, Yuan Jun and his gang were leaning forward and back happily, coaxing lightly.

Zhong Yuemin went around to the front of the girls again and continued to entangle.

A group of young people are passing by here on bicycles, led by Zhang Haiyang, who wears a cashmere hat and a national defense green uniform, and is 1.8 meters tall, and Zhong Yuemin is also arrogant. His companions were all wearing military uniforms, but they looked very disorganized, as if the military uniforms issued by the PLA troops at different times. This is clearly a child of the compound of the group troops. When they saw that Zhong Yuemin was pestering the girl, they stopped the car one after another.

A young man recognized Zhou Xiaobai: "Ocean, isn't that Zhou Xiaobai in our compound, the daughter of Deputy Commander Zhou, the girl who lives in the General's Building." ”

Zhang Haiyang threw away the cigarette butt: "Hey, where are these grandsons, dare to shoot the people in our yard?" Let's go, go and see. ”

Everyone rushed up and surrounded Zhong Yuemin. Zhang Haiyang grabbed Zhong Yuemin's collar and scolded: "Grandson, you are tired of being crooked, dare to shoot the people in our courtyard?" ”

Zhong Yuemin did not show weakness, he sneered: "Ho, what's the matter with the ballast?" Looking for death? Before he could speak, the spring lock hidden in his sleeve had already whistled out, and the spring lock slammed on Zhang Haiyang's head, and the cashmere hat on Zhang Haiyang's head was blown away.

Zhang Haiyang's accomplices took out their guys one after another and pounced.

Yuan Jun and his gang across the street saw the sudden change in the situation here, immediately threw away the cigarettes in their hands, showed their spring locks and rushed across the road, and the two sides fought fiercely on the street.

A young man picked up half a brick and threw it at Yuan Jun, who quickly dodged away, and the shop window glass behind him was smashed with a "bang".

As soon as Zheng Tong and a tall young man fought, his glasses were punched away by the other party, and he felt that the scene in front of him became blurred, which made him feel very angry, so he was eager to retaliate, and in his hectic confusion, he took a tree as an opponent and slapped half a brick on the tree fiercely.

An old man who was taking a walk was snatched away by Zhang Haiyang, the old man fell, he sat on the ground and slapped his thighs with both hands and scolded, and the crutches had become a weapon, and he slammed on Zhong Yuemin's head, and the crutches were broken in two.

Zhong Yuemin's head was bleeding, he wiped it with his hand, and pounced on it in a rage.

Yuan Jun rushed into the store, grabbed a chair and smashed the glass door where the fire hydrant was placed, and took out a fire axe and rushed out the door.

Zhang Haiyang and his gang saw that Yuan Jun was coming fiercely and dodged one after another, and Yuan Jun chased with a fire axe.

At this time, two policemen in navy blue police uniforms passed by on bicycles, and when they saw this scene, they hurriedly got out of the car to stop it.

When the two sides of the brawl saw the police coming, they immediately dispersed. The two policemen shouted loudly and chased after each other......

The song of "The Hawthorn Tree" wafted from an old-fashioned record player made in Czechoslovakia, and Zhong Yuemin sat on the sofa in the living room with gauze wrapped around his head, enjoying the song with half-closed eyes, as if nothing had happened.

Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong and others panted and pushed the door in, and when they saw the gauze on Zhong Yuemin's head, they laughed gloatingly.

Zheng Tong said: "Yuemin, let people spend? ”

Zhong Yuemin touched his head and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, rub a little skin, don't you look at what kind of material our buddy's head is made of, the crutch is broken into two, this is an authentic iron cloth shirt." ”

"You can blow it."

Yuan Jun smiled: "Why are you running so fast?" The brothers are fighting bloody battles with others, and when I look for you again, I won't even have a shadow, not righteous, really not righteous. ”

Zhong Yuemin didn't like to listen to it, he scolded back: "Fuck your uncle, didn't you see that big policeman coming straight to me as soon as he got out of the car, why do you think his eyes are so good?" Come up and take me as the main culprit, what are you waiting for if I don't run? ”

Yuan Jun said: "Of course you kid is the main culprit, anyway, if the police arrest us, my brother will immediately expose you together, and say that you are the leader of our gangsters, and the old man instigated us to make mistakes, originally we were all quite pure, but Zhong Yuemin, the grandson, taught us to be bad, and we were blinded." Zheng Tong, you give him an explanation of the party's policies. ”

Zheng Tong said solemnly: "The first evil must be done, the threat will never be asked, the deceived will not be guilty, and the counterattack will be meritorious." ”

Everyone agreed: "That's right, that's right, it's time to kill Zhong Yuemin's grandson." ”

Zhong Yuemin turned his head and saw that Zheng Tong's glasses had cracked and flowered, and remembered that he didn't seem to see him during the fight, so he asked, "Zheng Tong, where were you during the fight just now, why didn't I see you?" ”

Zheng Tong was a little embarrassed: "A big man slapped my glasses away, I was angry, a brick slapped over, I felt that my hand was wrong, and I slapped the tree for a long time." The buddy hurriedly looked for glasses to put on, picked up the bricks and took a picture of a person ready to shoot, and looked at it, fuck, it's a fucking policeman, so scared that I threw the brick and ran away for my life. ”

Zheng Tong's father, Zheng Tianyu, is a senior engineer in the ministry and an intellectual who has stayed abroad, unlike the fathers of Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun and others, who all have war backgrounds. Zheng Tianyu is a person who hates violence, Zheng Tong has been affected by this since he was a child, and he never dares to fight with others. These days, at the instigation of Zhong Yuemin and Yuan Jun and others, Zheng Tong also learned to fight and copy bricks. But he is not born to fight, every time he fights, as long as he finds that the other party has more people than himself, he always loses confidence first and is the first to escape. Therefore, this has become Zheng Tong's shortcoming, he was firmly pinched by Yuan Jun, and he took out this matter at every turn to ridicule Zheng Tong, Zheng Tong himself thought that this was a very embarrassing thing, and whoever mentioned this matter would be in a hurry.

At this time, Yuan Jun said with a disdainful face: "This grandson is the same as his father, a stinky intellectual." ”

Zheng Tong lowered his face: "What's wrong with intellectuals?" ”

Yuan Jun hehehe: "Sour, sour." ”

Zheng Tong immediately sneered: "What about your father? Dou Da can't read half a liter of words, and he is blind in the army, right? Brothers, let me tell you a story, do you want to listen to it? ”

When everyone heard this, they became emotional, and they all encouraged Zheng Tong to speak quickly.

It is said that Director Yuan had just transferred from the army that year, and after arriving at the organ, he was just in time for the 'Four Clearances' team to go to the countryside, so Director Yuan concurrently served as the leader of the task force. One day the team helped the farmers cut wheat, Director Yuan suddenly felt the urgency of urinating, so he found a secluded place to go to convenience, and after a while, Director Yuan came back with his crotch in his hand, guess what? ”

Zhong Yuemin asked: "Is Director Yuan sitting on the sickle?" ”

Zheng Tong shook his head: "No, you guys are too unimaginative. It turned out that there was a section of the wire insulation of the water pump that was broken, Director Yuan didn't pay attention, took out the 'second child' and urinated on the wire, only to hear the sound of 'bang', Director Yuan covered the 'second child' and jumped up, only to feel that the crotch was crispy, as if he had been cleaned......"

Everyone leaned back and fell in laughter.

Zhong Yuemin rolled from the sofa to the ground, so happy that he couldn't straighten his waist. He said breathlessly: "If this happened before Yuan Jun was born, it would be troublesome, and Director Yuan's 'second child' would be wasted, would there still be Yuan Jun?" ”

Yuan Jun was annoyed and angry, he didn't dare to turn his face with Zhong Yuemin, but he dared to provoke Zheng Tong, he picked up the ashtray on the table: "I spent you." ”

Not to be outdone, Zheng Tong stood up: "You dare!" ”

Everyone hurriedly rushed up and pulled the two apart.

Zhong Yuemin said: "Brothers, let's talk about some business, I heard that the National Ballet of China's "Red Detachment of Women" is about to be performed, and tickets will be sold on Saturday at the Tianqiao Theater. ”

Everyone is in good spirits when they hear it, there has been very little entertainment in the past two years, since the beginning of "*****" in 1966, not to mention ballet, and even a few movies have been performed, except for "Lenin in 1918", that is, "Lenin in October", everyone is about to memorize the lines.

When Zheng Tong heard this, he immediately forgot what he had just done: "Fuck, this opportunity can't be missed, let's go to the queue on Friday night, and wait until Saturday morning to buy tickets and the cucumber dishes are cold." ”

Yuan Jun said with his hands in his hands: "Yuemin, this time there is a lively look." I estimate that on the day when the ticket sales at the Tianqiao Theater, all the stubborn owners in the city will have to come, so we have to go to some people, and we have to bring guys. ”

Zhong Yuemin nodded: "I called Li Kuiyong here, that kid is a good hand at fighting." ”

Yuan Jun said: "It's that Li Kuiyong again, you don't feel embarrassed when you come to him?" ”

Zhong Yuemin was a little displeased: "Yuan Jun, you are far behind in terms of fighting, Li Kuiyong has practiced wrestling and lifting stone locks since he was a child, and his shots are fast and black, if you want to fight alone, no one here is his opponent." ”

Yuan Jun was quite unimpressed with Zhong Yuemin's praise of Li Kuiyong, and muttered: "Bullshit, what's the use of being able to wrestle, can he hold a kitchen knife?" I'd like to see what he's capable of. ”

Zhong Yuemin lowered his face: "What's the matter, why don't you practice with me first?" ”

Yuan Jun was silent.

At that time, Zhong Yuemin was transferred from Nanjing to Beijing with his father to work, but because he was transferred halfway, some primary schools that exclusively accepted the children of cadres had a strict system and could not be placed, so Zhong Yuemin had to be temporarily placed in an ordinary primary school. There Zhong Yuemin met Li Kuiyong, and they took half a semester in the same class, and the two became friends. Li Kuiyong's father pedaled a tricycle, and his family had many children and was poor. Li Kuiyong has practiced wrestling and lifting stone locks since he was a child, and no one dares to mess with him if he fights in school. At that time, Zhong Yuemin was not as bold as he is now, and he admired Li Kuiyong's wrestling kung fu so much. In the second semester of the fourth grade, Zhong Yuemin transferred to Yuying School, but he and Li Kuiyong have always kept in touch.

The last snow had not yet melted, and the new snow began to fall sporadically again, and the wind blew very tightly, and the good daylight blew like dusk, and the wind carried the snow particles and hit people's faces painfully. Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong raised their coat collars to cover their faces, and lowered their heads against the wind to visit their father, who was being quarantined and censored.

Before the visit, as usual, you must first accept the lecture of the *** director Wang Zhanying. Wang Zhanying was a section chief before "**", and he was the first cadre in the ministry to rise up and rebel. This person is quite decent, but his views are too radical, and he sincerely thinks that the father of Zhong Yuemin and others is extremely evil, and it is not too much to shoot them. As for Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong and others, they belong to the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked, Lao Tzu is a capitalist roader, and the sons naturally became little hooligans.

Director Wang sat on the sofa in the office and admonished earnestly: "You are all children who can be educated well, the party and the people have not abandoned you, I hope you can draw a clear line with your own capitalist Lao Tzu, stand on the side of Mao's revolutionary line, and urge your father to thoroughly confess his anti-party crimes." It is necessary to make them understand that the party and the people are severing and examining them in isolation to save them. Hey? Zhong Yuemin, why are you standing? One shoulder is high, the other shoulder is low, the whole body is in three bends, and one leg is still dangling, who do you show this flowing look to? ”

Zhong Yuemin looked very aggrieved: "Director Wang, you have wronged me, when I was born, I had one long leg and one short leg, just because of this little physical defect, Yuan Jun and they always bullied me and gave me a nickname, called 'uneven ground'." Who do you think I'm messing with? It's not my fault that I look like this, why do you keep bullying us disabled people......"

Yuan Jun said with a wicked smile: "Director Wang, don't believe this kid." I know Zhong Yuemin too well, and the parts on his body can be long or short. The last time I took a bath in the bathhouse, he crossed his legs and stretched out his arms, and asked me, guess, what is this word? I said it's still a guess? It's 'big'. Guess what he said? He was stunned and said that it was the word 'too', and I said why 'too'? He said, "Don't you see a little bit of me there?" I looked at it again, but no, there was really a little bit between his legs, I didn't pay attention just now, so I saw it as 'big', who knew that after a while, he suddenly straightened up, so it became 'too'. I said, if that thing is also counted, then I will too, and I will become the word 'Bu' when I stand upright......"

Zheng Tong hurriedly interjected: "I prove that Zhong Yuemin is indeed not on one side of the legs, and a classmate in our class also wrote a poem for him, which is written, 'Looking at the independence of the golden rooster from afar, and seeing the lack of hooves from the horse. Running like the wind swinging lotus leaves, lying on the kang is not on one side'. ”

Zhong Yuemin smiled: "Zheng Tong, you can squeeze me, I'll fuck your uncle......"

Director Wang slapped the table: "Shut up, I don't think I have wronged you at all when you are little rascals, how can you learn so badly at a young age?" We have a lot of 'children who can educate well' in this compound, why aren't people as bad as you? ”

Zhong Yuemin said: "Director Wang, you said that we are 'children who can be educated well', can I understand it this way, my father is a capitalist roader, so I am a child who can be educated well?" ”

Director Wang scratched his head, and didn't know what he meant by this, so he had to say: "It's okay to understand it this way, Mao ** said so, don't call them 'gangster children', they should be called 'children who can be educated well'." ”

As soon as Zhong Yuemin heard that the director was on the set, he immediately came to his senses, and said vigorously: "Then you are the *** director, what should your child be called?" Obviously, it is different from us, and the antonym of 'children who can be educated' should be 'children who cannot be educated', can it be understood in this way? ”

Director Wang was furious, he slapped the table and shouted: "Zhong Yuemin, don't mess around, if you mess around, I will cancel your visit qualification today." ”

Director Wang really underestimated them, these boys had a bad stomach, and they cooperated tacitly. Zhong Yuemin angered Director Wang, and Yuan Jun was busy interrupting to distract Director Wang: "Director, our monthly living allowance of 15 yuan is too small, can the party and the people increase it for us?" It wasn't the 20th of last month, and I didn't have money to eat, so I relied on a little bit from the east and a little bit from the west. I also went to the restaurant to pick up other people's leftovers, look at my face, is it green? This is hungry, and if it goes on like this, it will also smear the face of our socialist motherland, don't you say? ”

Zheng Tong also echoed with oil and vinegar: "Director, we are all flowers of the motherland, and if we are flowers, we must water them often, otherwise we will die of drought." ”

"It's just that we're not even flowers, or flower bones, if we don't water us, how can we bud? Don't forget, Mao ** said that the heavy task of burying the 'Emperor Xiu' depends on our generation to complete. Every day, we look forward to growing up one day earlier and fulfilling the important tasks entrusted to us by the motherland. Fortunately, the flowers have not yet bloomed, but they are dying, and there is no successor to the revolutionary cause. Zhong Yuemin added.

Director Wang said impatiently: "In the end, it is a capitalist child, and he is quite able to speak." Let me tell you, this is a regulation, the quarantine review personnel themselves and their families will be paid living expenses during the review period, and the standard of 15 yuan is stipulated by the state, and no more than one cent will work. ”

Zhong Yuemin scolded dryly: "Fuck, I can see it, starving us to death is also one of the strategic deployments of '*****'......"

Director Wang glared: "Zhong Yuemin, what do you say, do you dare to say it again?" You are typical counter-revolutionary rhetoric......"

Zheng Tong hurriedly interrupted: "Director Wang, do you still care about the third child of your family?" He bullied me all the time. ”

Director Wang is not a person with clear thinking, his attention is easily distracted, and this time he fell for Zheng Tong again: "Yes, why did our third child bully you?" ”

Zheng Tong said with an aggrieved face: "Last time at the gate of the courtyard, he stopped me and said that he wanted to find a place to practice with me. I said, 'Third child, you're not right, Mao ** taught us to fight civilly, not martial. I don't fight with you, if you and I have any problems, we can find the organization to solve them, it's not right to fight. Third, your father is also a 17-level section chief, so he can be regarded as a revolutionary cadre by make, right? As the children of cadres, shouldn't you give us comrades with bad backgrounds an exemplary starting point? "Director Wang, you say, there's nothing wrong with what I'm saying, right? But your third child gave me a mouth without saying a word, and a lot of little stars popped out of my eyes, golden, and I felt the world spinning......"

Director Wang's third son, Wang Yuejin, is a mentally handicapped child, but Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun can't hold the fire when they see people, Wang Laosan has been bullied by them a lot, and now Zheng Tong is actually beating up.

Director Wang was a little puzzled: "My third child, won't you?" He is an honest child, he is bullied by others, he doesn't have the courage to bully others? ”

Yuan Jun said: "You don't know this, I also pretended to be honest in front of my father, but as soon as I went out, it wasn't me, and the third child of your family was like this." ”

Director Wang snorted: "Okay, I'll ask him when I go back, if it's true, I will discipline him, if you kid lie to me, I can't spare you." ”

Zheng Tong said: "Forget it, it's in vain for you to ask, who has done bad things and admitted it these years?" The last time Yuan Jun peed on the stage of the auditorium, the administrator of the family grabbed the 'second child', and this grandson was still sure that he didn't pee. ”

Yuan Jun didn't like to listen to it: "Fuck your uncle, you just peed on the stage." ”

Director Wang shouted: "Shut up for me, what kind of poor mouth?" Look at you all like these second-rate sons, it's really crooked at the top and crooked at the bottom. Now you can go in and visit, Zhong Yuemin, your father is in room 5, Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong, your father is in room 8. ”

Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun, and Zheng Tong walked into the long corridor, and they recognized the number of the room.

Zhong Yuemin quietly asked Zheng Tong: "Wang Laosan really smoked you?" ”

Zheng Tong pouted: "Pumping me, did you turn him back?" I'm the one who gave you a mouthful. Yo, number 8, we're in. ”

Zheng Tong and Yuan Jun walked into room 8, and Zhong Yuemin pushed open the door of room 5 and walked in.

Zhong Yuemin's father, Zhong Shanyue, was a student at the Changsha Normal School before joining the Red Army. He was a loyal admirer and defender of Mr. Lu Xun, and if someone could not get along with Lu Xun in the newspapers and periodicals, Zhong Shanyue would immediately criticize him and start a debate with the other party. There was a guy with the pen name "Lu Ye", who often competed with Zhong Shanyue in newspapers and periodicals, Zhong Shanyue said that Lu Xun's article was good, and Lu Ye would jump out and slander it, and the two would start a debate back and forth. At first, both sides were still like gentlemen, and the content of the debate was limited to literary and artistic aspects, but then it was no longer good, and the rhetoric became sharper and sharper, and finally developed to the point of personal attacks and insults against each other. Zhong Shanyue was young and vigorous, and he read a few more French novels, so he wrote a letter to Lu Ye in accordance with the Western aristocratic tradition, asking for a place to duel. Naturally, Green Field was not to be outdone and gladly responded to the battle. Zhong Shanyue was carrying an iron rod in his sleeve, and he found that the other party's weapon was very vicious, and it seemed to be a civilized stick, but it was actually a "two-person snatch", once the sheath was pulled off, it turned into a sharp sword. Zhong Shanyue knew that he would not give the other party a chance to pull off the scabbard at all in the duel. He leaned on his body, used a short to make a long one, and beat the opponent with an iron rod to a severe concussion. He knew that he had caused a big disaster, and the police station couldn't spare him, so he simply didn't do anything, escaped from Changsha overnight, and went to Xiangxi to vote for He Long. This was in 1935.

When Zhong Shanyue arrived at the Liaoshen Campaign, he was already the youngest commander of the main division among the columns of the Northeast Field Army, and when the troops were about to attack Jinzhou, he met Yao Ping, a propaganda officer of the Dongye Headquarters. At that time, Yao Ping was in her prime, and she was a college student, and half of the divisional and regiment-level cadres in the columns in Dongye were singles, everyone knew that there was a beautiful female college student in the headquarters, and the singles ran to the headquarters if they had nothing to do.

Zhong Shanyue was also moved when he heard about it, he rode to the headquarters with the guards, led the horse around, and scanned his two eyes like radar, but he ran into Luo Ronghuan's political commissar, Luo political commissar said: "Xiao Zhong, what are you looking for sneakily?" ”

Zhong Shanyue opened his mouth and said, "I'll come to see Political Commissar Luo." ”

Political Commissar Luo smiled: "Why do you bachelors say this when you see me, do I have such a big face?" Don't waste time with me, go wherever you want. ”

Zhong Shanyue later found Yao Ping on the well platform, Yao Ping was washing clothes at the time, Zhong Shanyue led the horse to Yao Ping: "You are Yao Ping?" ”

The girl nodded.

Zhong Shanyue said again: "I am Zhong Shanyue, the commander of the Second Division of the Fifth Vertical, you can see it carefully. ”

Yao Ping really raised his head and looked at him carefully.

Zhong Shanyue had just turned 30 years old at the time, handsome, with a moderate figure, wearing a white-washed yellow military uniform, and a handful of precious ivory handles hanging from his belt.

Yao Ping was a little confused at the time, and she asked incomprehensibly, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Zhong Shanyue said: "We have surrounded Jinzhou like an iron bucket, the general offensive is about to begin, if we liberate Jinzhou, I will come back and marry you, you wait for me." When he had finished speaking, he jumped on his horse and whipped away without looking back.

Yao Ping was stunned for half an hour and didn't slow down.

After Zhong Shanyue and Yao Ping got married, Zhong Shanyue asked Yao Ping: "There were so many people pursuing you at that time, why did you just fall in love with me?" ”

Yao Ping asked rhetorically: "Didn't you tell me to wait for you?" ”

Yao Ping has a thin life, after giving birth to Zhong Yuemin in 1952, she was removed due to **fibroids**, so Zhong Yuemin is destined to have no younger brothers and sisters. When Zhong Yuemin was 10 years old, Yao Ping died of liver cancer.

Zhong Shanyue has not remarried since then, it's not that he doesn't want to start a family again, but he doesn't have a suitable one, and he is busy with work, so he really can't take care of it.

Zhong Shanyue has a complex personality, he was a romantic literary youth in his early years, he liked French romantic literature, liked new poems, and sometimes wrote a few, the content is nothing more than sad love such as wind and snow, small bridges and flowing water. Many years later, he unexpectedly found a small poem in a tabloid in the 30s of the 20th century, and his teeth were almost sour. Most of his life as a horse has changed him from a scholar to a man who is very rough in appearance and language, no wonder Yao Ping fell in love with him at first sight.

Zhong Shanyue and his son Zhong Yuemin have a very good relationship, the father and son are too similar, the mysterious effect of genes makes Zhong Yuemin not very peaceful since he was a child, and Zhong Shanyue, like all fathers in the world, has long forgotten that he was naughty and mischievous when he was a child, and his son's behavior is usually an education method that touches the flesh and skin, and the relationship between father and son was once very tense. However, since Zhong Shanyue was isolated and examined, the relationship between father and son has improved a lot, and the right to visit his father was won by Zhong Yuemin by making trouble with *** people.

Zhong Yuemin walked into the room where his father was being held, and saw that Zhong Shanyue was writing confession materials, he handed his father some change of clothes, toothpaste, and soap and said, "Dad, are you okay?" ”

Zhong Shanyue snorted: "Don't worry, I can't die for a while." ”

Zhong Yuemin said openly: "Dad, I am panicking for you, you have been revolutionary all your life, the more you mix, the more you can't do it, and finally you have to let a section chief lock you up." If you had known this, you might as well have joined the Kuomintang in the first place. ”

Zhong Shanyue was on fire, and he slapped the table: "Yuemin, you are talking nonsense again, what kind of place is this, why is there no door on your mouth?" If you talk nonsense, you'll me out. ”

"Dad, I'm going to give you clothes when I get out, why did you tear down the bridge before you crossed the river?" Zhong Yuemin is not afraid of his father slapping the table.

The father softened his tone: "Yuemin, don't always complain, and don't be resistant. I have experienced a lot of things in my life, I joined the Red Army at the age of 17, and I have fought hundreds of battles large and small, and I have earned money to live to this day. I experienced this kind of quarantine and censorship in 1942 during the Yan'an rectification, and I believe that the party and the people will figure out my problems, and we should believe in the party. ”

Zhong Yuemin said cynically: "Dad, yesterday I used poker to calculate a hexagram for you, and the hexagram said that you will commit a villain in your life, and wherever you go, the villain will follow you wherever you go, and you can't hide." You believe in no one as well as in yourself and in your son. I think it's okay, let's not play with them, this is not a prison anyway, if you want to go, just leave, just a few guards, that is, an ornament, I can clean them up with a few friends. You first go to the old comrades-in-arms who have not fallen in the field to hide for a while, and then talk about it after this period of limelight. ”

Zhong Shanyue smiled bitterly: "Are you talking in your dreams, where can I hide?" If the problem is not solved, even my old comrades-in-arms will not dare to take me in, don't talk nonsense. Are you out of money? I still have 5 dollars here, you take it. ”

Zhong Yuemin asked in surprise: "Where did the money come from?" You only pay 12 yuan a month for living expenses, which is 3 yuan less than me. ”

"I saved money, and I didn't spend money here."

Zhong Yuemin suddenly found that the cigarettes his father smoked had become a very simple package of economic cigarettes, which were the cheapest at that time, only 9 cents per pack. He remembered that his father used to smoke cigarettes of a high grade, either Chinese or peony. His nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears: "Dad, I don't want this money, you keep it and buy a few packs of good cigarettes, economic cigarettes are too ruined." ”

Seeing that his son was sensible, Zhong Shanyue was very pleased: "Son, I also smoked leaves during the Long March." People always have to catch up with some ditches and bumps in their lives, which is nothing, sometimes they get through it with a grit of their teeth. In the 1941 counter-sweep, I led a company, surrounded by devils, and fought for three days and three nights, and in the end there were only seven or eight of more than 100 people left. Each of us carried a grenade in our arms, and we just waited for the devil to rush up again, and no one planned to survive at that time, but until the last moment, reinforcements came. Son, no matter what time it is, no matter how difficult it is, we have to grit our teeth and hold on, not for anything else, just because we are men. ”

Zhong Yuemin snorted cynically: "Dad, there must be a limit to gritting your teeth, you can't grit your teeth for decades ......"

Tianqiao Theater is located at the east exit of Beiwei Road, Xuanwu District, Beijing, adjacent to the famous Tianqiao. The houses in this area are dilapidated and low. Before 1949, it was the most lively place in Beiping, and it was also an entertainment place for the lower class people in Beijing. After 1949, this area gradually declined, and the artists of the rivers and lakes changed their careers, the old and the dead, and the famous "Eight Monsters of the Flyover" were left, and only the wrestling Bao San'er and the trick-making Liu Banxian remained. The end of the flyover was in the "Red August" of 1966, and the rise of the Red Guards made Bao San'er, Liu Banxian and other overpass relics frightened to roll up the covers, and the flyover, which had been lively for more than 100 years, finally became deserted.

Although the bustle of the flyover is gone, the composition of the residents living in this area has not changed, it is far from the factory area, there are few industrial workers, and most of the residents are cart sellers. In the eyes of Zhong Yuemin and others, this is equivalent to an enemy-occupied area, and if there is no mighty brigade of people in normal times, they will never come here. Most of Beijing's military compounds are concentrated in Haidian District, and most of the government compounds are concentrated in Dongxicheng, which are the most dilapidated in Xuanwu District and Chongwen District. Taking Xuanwu District as an example, the overpass is Nanheng Street to the west, and to the north of Nanheng Street is Caishikou and Dazhiqiao. The Guangnei and Guangwai streets west of Caishikou are almost without exception civilian residential areas.

In the eyes of Zhong Yuemin and others, those teenagers who wander around the dilapidated streets and alleys of the overpass and Dazhi Bridge are hooligans. These people are uneducated, vicious, and proud of their ignorance.

In the eyes of the children of the common people, the children of the cadres are coaxing all day long, relying on the power of their parents to do mischief, and the whole group of young masters lack the courage and skills to fight alone. They like to rush up the most, preferably in a large group to fight one by one, and move the guy if they can't beat it with their bare hands. They all refer to the children of cadres as "veterans", which means old Red Guards, because almost all the early Red Guards were cadres and children.

If you were standing on the streets of Beijing in 1968, you would have no trouble distinguishing between these two groups of teenagers from different origins. They are distinguished by mannerisms and temperament, as well as the tone of speech. The children who grew up in the hutongs spoke pure Beijing dialect and liked to have a children's voice, while the children who grew up in the courtyard spoke standard Mandarin.

Judging from the clothing, the "veterans" like to wear military uniforms, and the military uniforms issued by the PLA troops at different times are all fashionable clothing, and the older children wear yellow military uniforms with white-washed herringbone cloth, and there are two small holes for wearing epaulettes on their shoulders, which look simple and fashionable, and do not show mountain dew. The younger children, who like to be ostentatious, took out their father's woolen military uniform from the bottom of the box and put it on. In 1955, when the army was awarded the ranks, the officers above the rank of colonel were very particular about their clothing, with tweed and breeches in winter and tussah silk in summer. The generals' military uniforms are even more exquisite, and the fabric of the general's uniform is one level higher than the fabric of the school uniform. They were also given otter fur hats and furry trench coats. As a result, military uniforms of various fabrics have become fashionable goods, and even the calfskin elastic high-waisted leather boots distributed with military dresses have become top-level goods, commonly known as "school boots". The children of the cadres probably hoped to show the rank of their fathers in this way, but they didn't expect that the children of the common people also recognized this fashion, it doesn't matter if you don't wear a military uniform, as long as you have the courage to rob, there is nothing that you can't get. So, if you find a young man wearing an otterskin general's hat on the streets of Beijing in 1968, don't think he's the son of a lieutenant general, or that his father is a watchmaker.

Let's put it this way, if you go out alone one day in 1968 wearing a general's uniform, if you are not a martial arts master with unique skills, then the result is obvious, if you don't wait for two kilometers out, you will be stripped of only pants and vests, if you don't wear pants inside, then you deserve to be unlucky, go home bare-assed.

It should be pointed out that whether it is the children in the compound or the children in the alley, they are divided into two categories: one is to keep to themselves; One is those who like to make trouble on the streets, and this kind of person is called "stubborn master". Years later, a writer wrote a novella under this name, which was eventually made into a movie. It is a pity that several popular stars who played the stubborn lords in the film only performed the cynicism of the stubborn lords back then, but did not show the ferocity and arrogance of the stubborn masters when they were fighting.

In this way, Zhong Yuemin and his gang were well-deserved stubborn masters in 1968.

On the steps of the ticket office of the Tianqiao Theater are a number of bricks scattered in a long winding line, one after the other, which represent the positions occupied by the people in line. Near the ticket office were crowds of young men with military satchels around their necks and their hands in their trouser pockets, looking at everyone who passed by with impunity. These young people all have a common trait: when they look at others, their eyes are full of provocation and disdain.

Zhong Yuemin and a group of seven or eight people were also standing on the side of the road, it was too cold, and some of them were constantly stomping their feet to keep warm, and they were soaking hot air on their hands.

A stout young man of medium stature walked over, with a fierce face, walking with his shoulders crossed and in a figure-eight step, one step at a time.

When Zhong Yuemin saw it, he hurriedly greeted him, took off his leather gloves and shook hands with him politely, he was Zhong Yuemin's elementary school classmate Li Kuiyong.

Zhong Yuemin turned his head and introduced Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong and others to Li Kuiyong.

Yuan Jun arrogantly shook hands with Li Kuiyong wearing leather gloves, Li Kuiyong frowned slightly, and his gaze met Yuan Jun's defiant gaze.

"Your name is Li Kuiyong? When I hear Yuemin mention you, my ears are calloused. Yuan Jun said coldly.

Li Kuiyong asked expressionlessly, "Oh, what did he say about me?" ”

"Say that you have been practicing wrestling and boxing since you were a child, how do you say that? Oh, 'punch the heroes of the world, kick the heroes of the five roads', are you so good? ”

"It's not that evil, but it'...... I can still handle three or five like you. ”

Yuan Jun sneered: "Can you deal with the kitchen knife?" ”

Li Kuiyong suddenly reached out and took off the tweed hat on Yuan Jun's head, swiped it with his hand, and buckled it back on Yuan Jun's head: "Your colonel's hat is too old, it's about to wear out, I'll replace it for you when I go back, I still have a dozen there." ”

Yuan Jun angrily put his hand into his satchel: "I chopped your girl's ......"

Li Kuiyong pressed his hand: "Boy, are you tired of living?" If you dare to move, I'll kill you. ”

Zhong Yuemin stood aside and looked coldly: "Kui Yong, Yuan Jun, if the two of you don't like each other, and make an appointment to practice alone in another day, whoever abolishes who is considered a skill, but today you are all here for my face, and it's not interesting enough to do it in front of me, right?" ”

Li Kuiyong let go of his hand with a gloomy face: "Okay, today I will give Yuemin a face, boy, you remember, you owe me two front teeth." ”

Yuan Jun sneered and was unconvinced: "You also remember, you owe me an arm, and you want to pay it back." ”

In the distance, a bicycle bell sounded, and a group of young men in yellow tweed army coats came speeding up on bicycles, they propped up their bicycles as if no one was around, carried spring locks up the steps of the ticket office, looked down at the bricks that represented the queues, and smiled contemptuously.

A young man took out a kitchen knife from his satchel, threw it at the front with a "dang" sound, and shouted loudly: "Look at it, my knife is the first, whoever is not satisfied will talk to my knife." ”

Another young man raised his foot and kicked a few bricks away: "Where did you get so many broken bricks?" ”

This was obviously a blatant provocation, Zhong Yuemin and his gang all stood up with a snort, and invariably put their hands into their satchels. Li Kuiyong stopped Zhong Yuemin: "Yuemin, I don't need you to make a move, I'll settle these boys." ”

He walked slowly with his hands in the pockets of his short coat and stood firmly in front of the group with his legs spread out.

The eyes of both sides met. Li Kuiyong said unhurriedly: "Listen, I'm in a good mood today, this is your blessing, you have to cherish this opportunity, hurry up and put those bricks as they are, and then apologize to my buddies, this matter is over." ”

A young man showed off his kitchen knife and said disdainfully: "Whose crotch is open, revealing such a thing?" Do you know who I am? ”

Li Kuiyong smiled: "Who are you?" ”

"Xiao Ming, the courtyard of the Planning Commission, have you heard of it?"

"I haven't heard of it, but it also came out of the crotch of my pants?"

Several young people were furious, and they took out their murder weapons and pounced, shouting: "Chop the girl!" ”

Li Kuiyong took a quick step forward, approaching the young man like lightning, one arm around his neck, and the other hand appeared at some point a bright meat knife, the blade of which was against his carotid artery, the tip of the knife had cut through the skin, and blood flowed down the blade.

Several young men turned white with fright, and their whole bodies froze...... The legs of the young man who were hugged were weak, and he slipped straight to the ground. He opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a while, and it took a long time to pop out a few words: "Big ...... Big brother, I'm convinced, I'm ...... Took ......"

Li Kuiyong let go of his hand and said contemptuously: "How dare you come here to pull out your job like this bear?" Get out of here, and don't let me see you again. ”

Several young men fled in a hurry.

Zhong Yuemin smiled and gave Li Kuiyong a thumbs up, and threw a pack of peony cigarettes at Li Kuiyong.

Li Kuiyong put away the knife, took the cigarette, lit one, and swept around with a gloomy gaze, and the people around him turned their eyes away......

Late at night, the north wind howled towards the crowd waiting next to the ticket office, Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong and others collected the wood piled up on the construction site next to it and lit a bonfire. The man on duty at the construction site was an old man, and the old man was trembling and was about to stop it, but he was frightened back by Yuan Jun's glare.

It was a lawless time, and as a night watchman, he could only play the role of a scarecrow, and a single hooligan could not deal with it, let alone this group of people tonight. The old man had a feeling that the gangs of hooligans from all over the city were coming tonight, and this could not be provoked.

A group of soldiers in military coats came over to greet Zhong Yuemin: "Yuemin, borrow light, it's too cold to stand, let us also roast the fire." ”

Zhong Yuemin said with a smile: "You can really enjoy ready-made, you have to pay some taxes, but you can't bake the fire in vain." ”

A young man wearing a sheep-shearling hat asked, "Yuemin, are you hungry?" You sit still and don't move, and a few of us will go and find something to eat. ”

Yuan Jun said, "Okay, get another bottle of wine." ”

"Let's take a look, brother."

There was a very simple tavern across the street, and the door was now closed, and an old man who was sitting by the fire was flipping steamed buns baked on the stove.

He heard a knock on the door outside, and cautiously opened the door a crack, and before he could ask questions, the people outside had already swarmed in, and the old man was knocked down.

A group of young men in military overcoats rushed in and spread around, very skillfully rummaging through the house. A basket of leftover buns and steamed buns were taken away by these guys, and several boxes of Erguotou wine were also moved out of the restaurant......

The old man said in a panic, "What are you going to do?" Put it down for me,......" he finished speaking, and a wicker basket containing rice was already fastened on the old man's head, and the rice was scattered all over the ground.

Bonfires were lit everywhere on the construction site, and young people were roasting buns and drinking wine around the fire.

No one could tell who had just participated in the robbery, because they were all about the same age, attire, and demeanor. It can be seen that although they belong to several gangs, they must know each other.

Zhong Yuemin and Yuan Jun drank wine and kept nodding to the acquaintances around them who greeted them.

Li Kuiyong held a bottle of wine in his hand, and took a sip of the bottle from time to time, his gloomy gaze kept looking around, full of contempt and provocation.

Zheng Tong approached Zhong Yuemin: "Yuemin, have you seen it?" Haidian, Dongxicheng, Chaoyang, are all here, tomorrow morning there will be a lively look, do you say that Li Yuanchao will come tomorrow? ”

"Of course he has to come, can he not come to show his face like this?"

"Then why didn't Li Yuanchao come to line up today?"

Yuan Jun interjected: "With Li Yuanchao's reputation, can he come and queue up overnight?" If you don't believe it, tickets will be sold tomorrow morning, and he will arrive, and he will never queue up. ”

Zhong Yuemin nodded: "That's right, he was the first to buy a ticket, and no one dared to say anything." ”

Li Kuiyong snorted and said disdainfully: "Why is he? ”

"Just because he is Li Yuanchao."

", I want to see, is he three-headed and six-armed?"

"If you fight one-on-one, the three Li Yuanchao are not your opponents. But you can't have that chance, he has a lot of outlaws, and if it's not his turn to do it himself, you'll already be cleaned up. ”

"Okay, if he comes tomorrow, just point me out, and I'll meet him."

Zhong Yuemin patted him on the shoulder and said: "Kui Yong, I invited you to come today, count you as a favor for me, if you need my help in the future, just say it, I will return your favor at any time, but you can't make trouble for me this time, if you want to argue with Li Yuanchao, you will find opportunities for yourself in the future, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Li Kuiyong nodded: "Okay, entrusted by people, loyal to people, I will listen to you this time." Yuemin, to be honest, I used to annoy you children in the compound the most, but you, Zhong Yuemin, are still a man, and we have only been classmates for one semester, right? But we became friends, I thought that you Zhong Yuemin was a master who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but I only found out today, how can you also be afraid? ”

Zhong Yuemin shook his head: "You are wrong, I'm not afraid of anyone, and you don't understand it, you are not a person in our circle." ”

Li Kuiyong sneered and said nothing.

The northwest wind was howling, and around the bonfires, the young men were wrapped in their coats and stretched out their hands to bake the fire. I don't know who hummed the song first, and then many people joined in, and it became a chaotic chorus:

The song gently ripples on the dusk water,

The factory in the twilight flashes in the distance,

The train is running fast,

The windows are brightly lit

…………

Zhong Yuemin felt a little bored when he had his stomach, he stretched his waist and said, "I'm going to go for a walk around the neighborhood, who will?" ”

Yuan Jun immediately responded: "I'll go." ”

Zheng Tong didn't want to go, but he was afraid that someone would provoke him when Zhong Yuemin was away, and he couldn't deal with it on his own, so he also said that he wanted to go.

Li Kuiyong said, "Go ahead, I'll be here to guard." ”

Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun, and Zheng Tong wandered aimlessly along the empty Qianmen Street.

Yuan Jun said fiercely: "Yuemin, I'll say hello to you first, I don't like Li Kuiyong's kid, I'll let him go first when I look at your face today, and I'll insert him sooner or later." This is also the language of the recalcitrant master, the knife is called "insert", and "inserting him" is equivalent to "stabbing him".

Zhong Yuemin replied indifferently: "That's your own business, don't tell me, but if you practice alone with Li Kuiyong, I'm afraid you won't be his opponent, this kid has a black hand." ”

Yuan Jun snorted disdainfully: "Let's see......"

The three of them walked to the Dashilar business district, Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong stumbled and stumbled on the road, and they were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes, but Zhong Yuemin's eyes were blazing and he was not tired.

Yuan Jun said in a daze: "Yuemin, buddy, it's not good, I have to find a place to squint for a while." ”

Zheng Tong also muttered dissatisfiedly: "I can't bear it anymore, Yuemin, why are you keeping up with the clockwork, and not stopping at all?" ”

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said, "You two are really useless, you can't survive all night?" No, I can't sleep, and I won't be sleepy when I walk. ”

Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong stumbled up the steps of a store, curled up in the doorway wrapped in their coats, and seemed to never move again.

Zhong Yuemin asked loudly, "Are you two really not going to leave?" ”

Yuan Jun couldn't speak clearly: "Don't go...... Resolutely don't leave, if you kill me, I won't leave......"

Zheng Tong echoed in a daze: "Whoever goes, who is the grandson......"

Zhong Yuemin looked around and found the glass window of the store, and he had a wicked smile on his face.

Zhong Yuemin threatened: "Okay, this is what you said, whoever goes is the grandson." ”

He suddenly picked up the spring lock in his hand and smashed it towards the glass window, with a loud bang, the window glass was smashed, Zhong Yuemin turned his head and ran.

Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong, who were awakened, were stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, they jumped out of the door like lightning and chased after Zhong Yuemin......

Yuan Jun's angry shout came from the empty street: "Zhong Yuemin, do you have an uncle?" I'll fuck you uncle......"

When the morning finally came, people who had been waiting all night automatically formed a long line, many of them looking at their watches.

At 8 o'clock, the window of the ticket office opened, and a conductor stretched out his head to look out, and when he saw the dense crowd of people outside the window, he opened his mouth wide in surprise and retracted his head. The crowd began to stir, and everyone in line clung to the person in front of them, for fear that someone would get into the line.

At this time, the bell of the bicycle sounded in the distance, and many bells converged into a grand sound. At the end of the street, there was a dense stream of bicycles, and groups of young people wearing cotton coats and tweed coats of various colors converged into a strong yellow crowd in the direction of the Tianqiao Theater.

Zhong Yuemin and a few of them immediately became excited: "Ho, it's spectacular enough, all the stubborn lords of Sijiu City are here, this time it's lively." ”

"Let's fight, let's kill a few."

"It's time for the show to begin, it's better than watching ballet."

The young people who had just arrived didn't seem to have any concept of queuing, so they set up their bicycles and swarmed to the ticket gates, and the queue was chaotic. The people who had been queuing all night did not buy these arrogant latecomers, and they stubbornly kept the ranks intact one by one, trying to squeeze them out. People pushed, shoved, and scrambled, and the team was like a writhing dragon, and the noise and curses were intertwined to form a huge wave. The crowd eventually clashed, and the two groups of young men engaged in a bloody brawl, and the crowd was immediately chaotic, and from time to time one or two hands with spring locks could be seen looming in the crowd, and then there was a muffled sound of flesh being hit.

Zhong Yuemin stood next to him smoking a cigarette and watched coldly, and he suddenly found the famous Li Yuanchao in the crowd.

Li Yuanchao pinched the brake of the bicycle, he supported his body with one leg, and the other leg was on the beam of the bicycle, as if he was just passing by here, and he didn't plan to get out of the car at all. There were more than a dozen young people with horizontal eyebrows around him, which was a bit like the stars holding the moon. Li Yuanchao is very tall, burly, and has a handsome face with a national character. He wore an ordinary blue uniform, and looked very maverick in a yellow-green military uniform. He is a leader-level figure among the "veterans", and the three words "Li Yuanchao" are signboards, and he can't afford to swagger around like those hairy boys.

Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin are from the same school, and he is two grades higher than Zhong Yuemin. When the Red Guard Organization was established in 1966, Zhong Yuemin had just finished the first year of junior high school, and Li Yuanchao had already finished the third year of junior high school. Originally, as Li Yuanchao, he couldn't deal with Zhong Yuemin in the lower grades, and Zhong Yuemin didn't want to slap him, when they worked together in the Red Guard Haidian picket, the two just nodded to each other. The two of them really became familiar when they stormed the compound of the Ministry of Public Security.

At the end of 1966, the old Red Guards gathered at the Beizhan Theater and coaxed to set up the "Capital Red Guards Joint Action Committee", at which Li Yuanchao was elected as one of the leaders.

Many years later, when Zhong Yuemin talked about this past incident with some of the parties concerned, everyone thought it was ridiculous, because the establishment of the "linkage" was completely coaxing, and there was neither a strict organizational system nor a unified program of action, but it was just because the cadres and children were angry with the central "**" group at that time. Because the central "**" group has already aimed the spearhead of the struggle at the old cadres in the party, that is, their parents, this directly violates their interests. They have always taken other people's lives, why did this revolution come to their own homes? Everyone quarreled and quarreled at the meeting, scolded and scolded, and after the meeting, no one took this matter seriously, but outsiders did not understand the situation, and the organization of "linkage" was spread to the top of the story, which was very legendary, and there were even rumors that the internal hierarchy of the "linkage" organization was strict, and even the armbands were issued according to the level of the parents, respectively, satin, silk, cloth and other fabrics.

Zhong Yuemin said: "I understand, many famous epics came out like this, the first appeared in the mouth of a guy who drank more than two taels of wine, someone listened to it and relayed it to others, and in the relay, it was artistically processed according to their own imagination, passed down from generation to generation, so it became an epic." ”

Zhong Yuemin remembered that after the inaugural meeting of the "linkage", everyone heard that the Ministry of Public Security had arrested several of their buddies, so everyone coaxed together, saying that they would go to the Ministry of Public Security to ask for someone. When he went to the Ministry of Public Security for the first time, Li Yuanchao entangled one or two hundred people, and at first everyone negotiated with the cadres in charge of the reception of the Ministry of Public Security in a decent manner, but then they became a little annoyed, what is the nonsense with this little cadre? It was not enough to rush in and snatch the people out, so the brothers began to rush into the gate, and thus clashed with the guards. At that time, the soldiers were given the order: not to fight back, not to scold back. They just hold hands to form a human wall to stop these furry children from messing around. The teenagers rushed a few times, as if the tide had hit the reef, to no avail. Li Yuanchao, who usually has a lot of ideas, is also out of the box at this time, and the bad water in Zhong Yuemin's stomach began to bubble out. He led a group of first-year junior high school teenagers to reach out to the itchy spots of the soldiers, the soldiers were not trained to resist itching, they were laughed by the arms, and a gap suddenly appeared in the human wall. Zhong Yuemin did not immediately lead people to rush into the gap, but organized the teenagers to pull the soldiers out of the human wall one by one, so that a huge gap appeared in the human wall composed of soldiers, and Li Yuanchao led the people to rush into the Ministry of Public Security smoothly.

Of course, in hindsight, the six attacks launched by the "linkage" against the Ministry of Public Security were not necessarily planned and organized actions, in which the teenagers played a great role in coaxing the seedlings. Zhong Yuemin bluntly admitted that his participation in the attack on the Ministry of Public Security was completely idle, and he had no political demands, just a restless nature.

As a direct consequence of this bold action, the "linkage" was characterized as a counter-revolutionary organization by the central "**" group, and was besieged by tens of thousands of rebels in Beijing, and the "linkage" organization quickly collapsed.

However, Li Yuanchao noticed Zhong Yuemin's adaptability and organizational ability through this incident, and he no longer underestimated Zhong Yuemin, and decided that this guy was a character, and the relationship between the two became closer.

Li Yuanchao looked around with a smile, and there were people in the crowd who kept greeting him flatteringly, and he smiled and nodded.

He saw Zhong Yuemin, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Zhong Yuemin smiled, put up two fingers to touch the brim of his hat, and flicked it outwards in a chic manner, giving an American-style military salute.

Li Yuanchao returned the salute with a smile.

Zhong Yuemin said to Li Kuiyong: "Kuiyong, that person is Li Yuanchao, what do you think?" ”

Li Kuiyong looked at Li Yuanchao and said disapprerovantly: "I can't see it." How? He's the head of you veterans? It's also something 'linked', right? ”

"Our group of people has no leader, but there are really not many people who dare to provoke Li Yuanchao, and he was one of the main organizers of the 'linkage' with the Liuchong Public Security Department back then."

At this time, Zhang Haiyang and his gang, who had fought with Zhong Yuemin, also appeared in front of the Tianqiao Theater. Zhong Yuemin became excited when he saw this group of people, he hung his military satchel around his neck, squeezed out of the crowd with Yuan Jun and others, and walked over to Zhang Haiyang. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Dude, do you still know each other?" ”

Zhang Haiyang and the others were about to walk up the steps, and when they saw Zhong Yuemin and them surrounding them, they immediately reacted, and he sneered: "I know you even after peeling the skin, what do you want?" ”

Zhong Yuemin showed a kitchen knife in his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, you can shoot." ”

Zhang Haiyang stretched out his hand to the back, and a companion handed over a **** more than 20 centimeters long, he took the knife in his hand, and slowly walked towards Zhong Yuemin, a bloody brawl was about to happen.

At this time, Li Yuanchao, who was standing not far away and had been watching the progress of the situation, suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Zhong Yuemin, Zhang Haiyang, stop." He separated the crowd and walked into the circle, where both sides stopped in the midst of the tension.

Zhang Haiyang and Li Yuanchao are also acquaintances, he raised his head and said, "Oh, it's Yuanchao, hello, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Zhong Yuemin said coldly: "Aid the DPRK, don't worry about this matter, I'm going to chop this kid." ”

"Yuemin, Haiyang, can you all give me some face? In fact, everyone is not an outsider. Yuemin, let me introduce to you, this is Zhang Haiyang, who lives in No. 2 Courtyard and Bayi School. Ocean, he is Zhong Yuemin, Yuying School. Everyone is their own people, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, let's not let outsiders see the joke. Li Yuanchao sincerely mediated for both sides.

"You are from Yuying School, do you know Luo Jianguo?" Zhang Haiyang asked.

"Of course I do, that's my buddy. Do you know Yang Xiaojing from your Bayi School? Zhong Yuemin also softened.

"He and I are in the same class, and we have always had a good relationship."

Zhong Yuemin put the kitchen knife into his shoulder bag: "It's been a buddy for a long time, what are we going to fight?" Forget it. ”

Zhang Haiyang put away the scraper and shouted to his subordinates: "Put the guys away, this is a misunderstanding." ”

Li Yuanchao patted the shoulders of the two: "That's right, you two brothers shake hands, they will be friends in the future, what do you have to take pictures of each other." ”

This is the characteristics of group fights, often there are many people, and the fight can't be fought, because there are always people who know each other in the crowd, and the two sides are matched, and the parties on both sides have steps, and no one has lost their share. Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang shook hands and became friends, and they themselves didn't expect that this handshake would be friends for life.

Although Li Yuanchao is a figure who commands the heroes, today's situation is a bit special, because the stubborn lords of the whole city have come, which one is not the master who is used to being the king and hegemonic in his own one-third of an acre? No matter how big Li Yuanchao is, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand, he has just calmed down the contradiction between Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang, and two more groups of people are fighting in front of the ticket window. Several PLA soldiers wearing armbands on duty in the Beijing garrison pushed through the crowd and rushed forward to stop the brawl, and the two sides of the brawl scuffled with the fighters.

A soldier grabbed a young man who was beating people and wanted to pull him out of the crowd, but unexpectedly, a brick flew and hit the soldier's forehead, and the soldier ** screamed, covered the wound with both hands, and blood flowed out along the fingers.

The director of the Tianqiao Police Station led several police officers to arrive after hearing the news, but the perpetrator was long gone.

This is a true story that happened at the end of 1968, when the police were not equipped with intercom communication equipment, and there was no other way but to go back to the police station and call for reinforcements. It is said that an hour later, a company of reinforcements arrived here, and in front of the Tianqiao Theater, there was no figure except for a broken brick.

Li Yuanchao had already received tickets from his subordinates, so he greeted his acquaintances and said goodbye, then turned around and prepared to leave. But when he turned around, he suddenly froze, because a snowy dagger was pressed against his abdomen, and his face showed a look of surprise.

No one dares to be so presumptuous to him when Li Yuanchao is so old, is this person impatient? He found a hideous face staring at him, a deep scar on the left cheek trembling slightly, silently indicating that its owner was ruthless.

After all, Li Yuanchao had seen the wind and waves, and he stared at that face without changing his face, without the slightest panic. His companions were shocked, and they all showed their knives and approached.

Scarface roared, "Whoever dares to move it will slash his stomach." The four men behind him took a step forward at the same time, showing the axes in their hands.

Li Yuanchao's subordinates were all suppressed by the ferocity of Scarface's gang, and their movements froze.

Zhong Yuemin had just finished buying tickets and left the ticket window, and he was stunned when he saw this scene. He slowly put his hand into his satchel, but was held down by Li Kuiyong: "Yuemin, don't move, you are not their opponent." ”

"You know them? Who is that man? ”

"Little bastard, a well-known outlaw in the Xinjiekou area, the master who dares to kill."

Zhong Yuemin was surprised: "Is it him?" I've heard of this guy. ”

Xiao Hun sneered: "You are Li Yuanchao, right?" I've heard of the big name for a long time, and my brothers also want to see ballet, but I've never seen it before, and I've heard that the dancing girls don't wear clothes, right? ”

Li Yuanchao said quietly: "You are that 'little bastard', right?" I heard that you were going to meet me, but I didn't expect to meet here, don't talk nonsense, what do you want to do? ”

"It is worthy of the famous Li Yuanchao, the knife is on the stomach, and he still speaks so horizontally. Well, I'm fine, if I'm not looking for a ticket, why am I here? Leave me your ticket. ”

"What if I don't give it?"

"Then I'll cut your stomach open and pull out your intestines one by one to dry."

Zhong Yuemin pushed Li Kuiyong out of the crowd, showed his kitchen knife and shouted: "Little bastard, you let go of Li Yuanchao, there is a kind of one-on-one one-on-one practice." ”

The little muddy egg was surprised and said, "Hey, where did a little rabbit cub pop up?" It's kind of kind. Boy, have you heard of me? ”

"Fuck you, I don't care who you are."

The little muddy man sank his face: "Little rabbit cub, are you tired of being alive and dare to scold me?" ”

Zhang Haiyang also walked out of the crowd with a knife: "Little bastard, if you dare to move Li Yuanchao, I will chop you into meat paste today." ”

Li Yuanchao waved his hand at them: "Yuemin, Haiyang, I have received your favor, and this matter is up to me." Little bastard, I'm planted today, the ticket is for you, and you can go. ”

Li Yuanchao's subordinates handed a few tickets to Xiao Hun Dan, but Xiao Hun Dan did not mean to put away the knife, he raised his chin and motioned for Li Yuan Chao to open the way for him.

Li Kuiyong walked out of the crowd and smiled at the little muddy: "Dude, you're almost done, it's time to end." ”

Seeing that it was Li Kuiyong, Xiao Hun pointed at Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang with his finger and said, "Kuiyong, are you here too?" See, it's not that I don't want to go, it's that these two boys won't let me go. ”

Li Kuiyong said to Zhong Yuemin: "Yuemin, give me a face, today's matter is over, can you see how well you can do it in the future?" ”

Zhong Yuemin nodded: "Okay, look at your face, I'll let him go today, remember, you and I have a favor, and from now on, none of us owe anyone." ”

Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang put away their knives, the crowd dodged a way, and Xiao Huddan, Li Kuiyong and others turned their heads to leave.

Li Yuanchao whispered with a pleasant face: "Wait a minute, little bastard, if one day you fall into my hands, what will you look like, have you thought about it?" ”

The little muddy man smiled: "I'm a cheap person, so I always want to exchange my life with the rich and noble, and I won't suffer if I change my life, haven't you heard people say, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes." ”

"Alright, you can go."

"See you next time!"

Xiao Hudan and Li Kuiyong walked away.

Li Yuanchao's subordinates turned white-faced, and they clamored: "Aid the DPRK, you can't let them go......"

Li Yuanchao waved his hand to stop them, he looked at the back of the little bastard, he didn't speak for a long time, and his handsome face was gradually covered with murderous intent......
