Chapter 187: Shen Qiushui
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, on October 10, 1934, the Great Red Army embarked on the road of the Northern Expedition.
The Northern Expedition is a great miracle in human history, which lasted for two years, passed through 14 provinces, crossed 18 mountains, crossed 24 major rivers, walked through barren grasslands, and crossed snow-capped mountains, covering 25,000 miles!
The Northern Expedition is a great epic of revolutionary heroism. It proclaims to the whole of China that the Great Red Party of China and the people's army under its leadership are an invincible force. The Great Red Army's Northern Expedition is a concentrated display of the Chinese nation's unremitting national character of self-improvement, and the highest embodiment of the national spirit with patriotism as the core. This spirit will guide the people of the whole country to victory after victory and run all the way to the sea of stars!
History cannot be forgotten that in the face of the encirclement and interception of the Qingbai Army on the way to the north, and in the face of the harsh natural environment, the Great Red Army achieved the final victory with an astonishing will, but also paid great sacrifices. Before the departure, there were more than 200,000 troops, but when they arrived in northern Shaanxi, only 50,000 or 60,000 remained, and among the officers and men who died, more than 80 were divisional cadres alone.
Those who stayed in the Soviet area and did not go north encountered greater difficulties, and Zhuo Qingqiu and others faced life and death tests every day, and they didn't know how long they could hold on.
At this most difficult moment, the left-wing writers in the magic capital are still fighting.
At the same time, the Qingbai Party tightened its control, not only confiscating progressive periodicals, but also assassinating Shi Liangcai, the host of the "Declaration", in November 1934, which caused quite a stir in the magic capital.
Shi Liangcai, a famous scholar, a scholar of words, a native of Jinling, an outstanding businessman, a newspaper man, an educator and a newspaper giant. In 1912, he was appointed general manager of the "Declaration".
Qin Di originally didn't have much feeling about Shi Liangcai's death, because there were too many people who died in these years, and there were sacrifices on the road to the north at every moment, in his opinion, Shi Liangcai's assassination was no different from a fallen soldier.
However, Gu Rumei came over and said: "Sir, I know Shi Liangcai's wife Shen Qiushui, she will hold a funeral at 'Qiushui Villa' at noon tomorrow, and invite everyone she knows to see Mr. Shen off." ”
Qin Di asked, "How do you know her?"
Gu Rumei said: "Shi Liangcai has two wives, the eldest lady is his cousin, the second lady Shen Qiushui, who was poor when she was young, was sold into the Qinglou, she is good at guqin, and when she married Mr. Shi, she brought a dowry of 800,000 oceans. Mr. Shi used that money to buy the "Declaration". I played at the Lyceum Theatre, and I was strongly supported by Shen Qiushui, and she listened to almost every scene. ”
Qin Di said: "Since that's the case, then you can go." Play a song "Yulin Bell" for her. ”
Gu Rumei said: "I'm afraid that if I don't control it well, if I hurt the guests, it won't be good." ”
Just at this time, Qin Yue and Wang Shu came back.
Qin Yue said: "I'm going to 'Qiushui Villa' tomorrow!Brother, can you and Yan Xue go together?"
Qin Di thought for a moment: "If Qin Yue passes like this, he will definitely fall into the eyes of the Qingbai Party spies, which is not a good thing! ”
So, he nodded and said to Gu Rumei and Qin Yue: "Okay, tomorrow morning, let's go together." ”
The next morning, the five of them took two cars and headed for Hangzhou.
Qiushui Villa is located at the foot of Geling Mountain by the West Lake.
When they arrived at the place, it was almost noon.
On this day, the weather was overcast and there was a drizzle in the air.
With umbrellas, they walked into Qiushui Villa, where hundreds of people had gathered, most of them newspaper elites and left-leaning literati, as well as some friends of Shi Liangcai.
At about half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, everyone set off with the coffin and went to the foot of Jiqing Mountain for burial.
The chief priest is Zhang Taiyan, and he personally wrote the epitaph: "Shi's straightness, caused by Ziyu." The son inherits its flow and works hard. ”
Shi Liangcai's family, including the eldest lady Pang Mingde and an outer room, plus their children, cried loudly, crying as if they were tearful people. Only the second lady, Shen Qiushui, was whimpering silently.
Shen Qiushui has only followed Shi Liang for 20 years, but she has no children and no daughters, she has a smile on her face, wearing a white linen filial piety dress, and plays a song in front of the grave in the cold rain, and then with a "pop", she broke Yaoqin!
Gu Rumei hurriedly helped her up and kept comforting her.
On the side of the tomb, there are many wreaths and many elegiac couplets.
Zhou Shougeng didn't come, but he sent the money and wrote a couplet in his own handwriting: "If you don't notice the cold star, I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood!"
Qin Yue sent the largest wreath, and the couplet read: "Lonely Qiankun, where is the despised laughter; ”
Qin Di, as the eldest and youngest of the Qin family, naturally couldn't come empty-handed, he also sent a wreath, and the couplet read: "Heaven or earth, transcendent and extraordinary; ”
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Mr. Shi is for the country and the people, he spoke up righteously, and was assassinated by the villain, we want to avenge him!"
"All of this is a ghost carried out by the spies of the Qingbai Party! Murderer, get out of here!"
"Donating your life to go to the country, seeing death as if you were going home!"
"Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat!"
In the distance, several men in black probed their brains, seemingly monitoring everyone at the scene.
Qin Di was standing at the farthest distance from the tomb, equivalent to the periphery of the crowd, and he saw a man in black taking a camera and secretly taking pictures, and thought: "These people are really blatant! Killing people, and brazenly coming to spy on them! Isn't it troublesome for me to take pictures of Qin Yue and Wang Shu in them?"
Qin Di took two steps forward and saw that Shen Qiushui's Yaoqin on the ground was not completely destroyed, the panel was seven or eight percent intact, and the strings were only broken two, so he stepped forward, picked up the Yaoqin, and put it on the tombstone, playing it with one hand!
He played the fairy sound "Yulin Bell", although he said that he had already built the foundation, but he could only play two or three percent of the charm, but even so, he could put the sound of the piano hundreds of zhang away!
He was also able to control the effects of the Immortal Sound Killing.
Hundreds of people in the vicinity suddenly heard the sound of the piano, and they all felt a sadness in their hearts, as if their hearts had been caught.
The man in black in the distance fell to the ground with a "bang", foaming at the mouth, unconscious!
It was only a moment, and the hundreds of people present fell into a state of confusion, and forgot where they were.
Only Yan Xue, Gu Rumei and Shen Qiushui can still stay awake.
Shen Qiushui is proficient in music and rhythm, so he is not confused. She looked at the young man playing the piano and was amazed in her heart. She felt that the sound played by this person was ten or a hundred times stronger than Gu Rumei's, which was simply something she had only seen in her life, which was shocking.
What shocked her even more was that although there was a drizzle in the air, there was not a drop of rain on the young man's head, and the rain automatically slid down from his side, as if there was an invisible umbrella above his head.
Suddenly, she heard the young man speak: "Mr. Shen's soul is still there, I will summon him and let you meet him!"
Then the sound of the piano changed, from "Yulin Bell" to "The Conjuring"!
The people present were even more confused, forgetting who they were, forgetting what they were doing, forgetting their grief and anger, and forgetting their sorrows, forgetting everything that had happened in three days!
Since Qin Di showed his amazing piano skills, he didn't want everyone present to remember it, so as not to cause more trouble.
At this time, Yan Xue's figure flickered, and she came to those black-clothed people silently, picked up a camera, and then threw them into the depths of the bamboo forest next to her!
If these people wake up, they will be even more confused, why are several people stacked together, lying on their stomachs in the wet bamboo forest?
Even if they want to break their heads, they won't remember today's events!
Shen Qiushui was extremely shocked to see that the rain gathered together, forming a shadow, standing in front of her, just like Shi Liangcai before her death!
The shadow also reached out a hand and touched the ends of her forehead, wetting her hair.
The shadow seemed to open its mouth, but it didn't make a sound.
Then, the shadow walked away from her, and then slowly disappeared!
Shen Qiushui knelt on the ground, seeing the black shadow leave little by little, her heart was extremely sad, but she couldn't leave the black shadow behind.
At this time, he heard that the sound of the piano had changed again, and it had become "Pu'an Mantra", and Shen Qiushui felt like he was bathed in warm spring water, closing his eyes, and his heart was intoxicated.
I don't know how long it took, but when she woke up, the young man who played the piano had already left, leaving only the destroyed Yaoqin still resting on the ground, Gu Rumei was also gone, and there were two or three others who left at the same time. She wasn't familiar with Qin Yue and Wang Shu, so she couldn't even name them.
By this time the drizzle had stopped, the sun had risen, and she seemed to have been given a new lease of life
Suddenly, her hand took out of her pocket and took out a note with a sentence written on it: "Mr. Shi left you a message, saying that there are 1 million yuan, which is stored in Siming Bank, using your name!"
Shen Qiushui's heart shook suddenly, as if he had been hit hard, thinking of the shadow he had seen before, thinking of the "bewitching" young man, and the wonderful sound he played, he only felt that everything was so incredible!
Shi Liangcai not only owns the "Declaration", but also has two money banks, which can be regarded as a rich man.
Shen Qiushui stood there in a daze, waiting for half an hour, and the people next to him gradually woke up, and opened their eyes one by one to show a look of surprise: "Huh, where is this, why am I here?"
"How can there be a grave here? Let me see the tombstone, ah, it's Mr. Shi? When did Mr. Shi die? I can't be dreaming, right?"
"Lang Lang Qiankun, blue sky and white day, how could I have such a wonderful experience? Could it be that Mr. Shi's soul brought here?"
People gradually woke up and couldn't remember anything but surprise.
Shen Qiushui didn't say a word, because she couldn't explain it, even if she said it, people wouldn't believe it!
She was grateful to the young man who played the piano, knowing that he came with Gu Rumei.
She was a person who had seen the big world, so she didn't panic.
Shen Qiushui in history, played "Guangling San" in front of Shi Liangcailing, after the strings were broken and the piano was destroyed, she sold Qiushui Villa, donated it to the hospital, scattered her family wealth, and died alone, she died in 1956 and was buried in Nanshan Cemetery, not buried with Shi Liangcai, because she was just a concubine!
On her grave, the words "Qiushui Jushi" are written, and the name "Qiushui" was chosen by Shi Liang for her a long time ago.
If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan.
