Chapter 26 Section 25 Educated Youth Xiao Xing

No one except the prisoner doctor knew that the mild-mannered old couple was suffering from an unspeakable serious illness.In all his sleepless nights, besides the epistolary essays blindly written to Wan Yu, there was one more thing, which was worrying about how to solve this big matter of his.In the dead of night, his muscles relaxed, and he felt it instead, but there was only one toilet for a dozen people in the cell, which was not enough for everyone, and he couldn't bear to use it to solve the big things that happened to him at night.No one wants to sleep next to the toilet, because the smell and noise make it difficult to sleep at night, so the old couple offered to make their own bunks next to the toilet.Anyway, he couldn't sleep at all, and if he really couldn't hold back at night, he could use that toilet to solve big things.

On this night in early December 1974, Lao Ji finally couldn't bear it anymore.He got up as quietly as possible, and took out the old newspapers that had been rubbed long ago—the newspapers were selected, and there were no photos of leaders, workers, peasants, soldiers, and eight model drama heroes, and they were not important editorials.He straddled the toilet for a while, and his legs became sore and his back ached, because the toilet is for people to urinate, and the height is very embarrassing. The old man is tall and has long legs, and he straddles it. In the crotch, the muscles of the whole body were tense, including the abdominal muscles and the muscles near the anorectum. The tenesmus feeling on the bunk just now disappeared after a while.

He had to go back to bed.Not long after I lay down, the storm in my stomach started to blow again, more violent than last time.He got up again, this time with experience, and put the cotton jacket on his body, so as not to suffer from the cold again.He didn't straddle the toilet immediately, but waited for the pressure in the abdominal cavity to increase, and finally all accumulated to the exit.This time his posture was also adjusted, instead of straddling the bucket, he half-sit and half-squat, while persuading himself to distinguish between the primary and the secondary, and not to care about how disgusting the rim of the toilet is; at this moment, "patriotic hygiene" is secondary Yes, the most important thing is that I can't be Xu Daheng who died of intestinal obstruction in 1961. The pain was so painful that he was spinning clockwise and counterclockwise. ...but his turbulent lower abdomen somehow returned to calm.He came back to the bunk again with the big thing hanging in the air.

That night he kept getting up and lying down again and again, and finally annoyed Xiao Xing, an educated young man lying next to him. "I'll fuck your grandma, old man! You've been tossing around all night, and the lawn is making a noise, what are you doing?!" The loud scolding of the educated youth woke up the inmates who had been sleeping soundly. A corrupt criminal sent by the "One Strike Three Antis" said: "Who is so old and still masturbates at night?" "Go to Zhenbao Island to fight Soviet tanks!" "Join the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery unit and support Vietnam, brother!" another prisoner laughed.

The prisoners all laughed. After 1969, the prisoners brought in some new vocabulary, including new obscene words, which were related to the country's new political and social life.After listening to this kind of words, the old couple acted as if they didn't hear it.Sometimes he really didn’t hear it, and his mind was full of his own business: a certain sentence written blindly was not perfect, and he had to make a sentence from another angle; whether a certain paragraph needed to be saved or deleted.In order to finally write all the articles he wrote blindly on paper, he sometimes needs to recite the articles that have been finalized long ago, fearing that his memory will fail.He had reached the age at which all kinds of malfunctions should occur, which is the last mature stage of life.Just like his missing teeth, they are ripe and ripe, without even blood, and without feeling.Unlike before, a loose tooth took more than a week of pain to fall out. Sometimes it was painful and dangling, but it didn’t fall out, and he had to rely on others to help him pull out the root of the tooth with a fishing net wire.His toothache powder has long been used up. Since the early 1970s, the best way to relieve toothache is to use fishing line to extract teeth.Almost all the people who were loaded into the wild grass desert with the old couple were all dead, only five or six "indefinite" like the old couple were left, all born younger than the old couple, all of them lost their teeth and smiled All like newborn babies.

At this moment, the educated youth began to scold a prisoner.The old couple missed the beginning of their conflict, and gradually understood that their conflict was because of themselves.The educated youth forbade the other party to use obscene metaphors on Lao Ji; he said that the ten lives plus one in this account were not worth one life of Lao Ji, the great stinky old nine.Because of what do you know?Because his father is also such a great stinky old nine! The prisoners laughed strangely, and uttered all kinds of dirty words at the educated youth. The educated youth jumped up from the quilt, straddled the lying bodies one after another, came to the embezzler who spoke the most proficient swear words, and kicked him lightly.

"I was afraid that there would be no fight. There is only one person in the world I dare not fight, and that is my father. My mother didn't want my father in 1959 and ran away with others, so I even fought her. Get up!" The embezzler turned over, turned his back to the educated youth and said, "I'll get up? You'll be in trouble if I get up." Some prisoners yelled: "Who will call the guard on duty? ... Are you going to sleep? You still have to work tomorrow!" Fearing that the educated youths would suffer, the old couple abandoned the hot quilts and walked between the two rows of thatched bunks to the embezzler's bunk, and advised the educated youths to stop making trouble.The educated youth said that whoever dares to call the People's Liberation Army on duty will be the first to put him down.The educated young man kicked the embezzler's shoulders and gradually moved upwards.

"A puddle of shit, can't get up?" said the educated youth. "Tell you, don't regret it when I get up." The embezzler seemed to have some trump card in his secret, slow and calm. The old lady persuaded me again, and the educated young man yelled at the old lady viciously: "It's none of your business! Go back to your bunk! Otherwise, I'll put down your old bone!" Several felons sat up from the opposite bunk.A manslaughter said: "Come on, put him down first!" The old couple said: "Xiao, Xiao, Xiao Xing (the educated youth's surname is Xing), you said that you want, want...to learn English."

One day, an educated young man was lying on the bunk and talking to himself, saying that it would be great if he had an English textbook. In high school, English was the only subject he didn't bother with.Old Ji told him at the time that he could provide him with English textbooks and write the texts on the edge of old newspapers.Intellectual youth have amassed a small stack of blank slips of paper cut from the corners of old newspapers. Hearing what the old man said, the educated youth was stunned.But in an instant, he suddenly raised his foot and stomped on the embezzler's neck.That kick was not big, but it was powerful and accurate, which fully reflected the quality of a person who has been fighting all the year round.The embezzler let out a short "uh," sounded like he took a sharp breath, and then fell silent.People panicked and gathered around, pinching people and slapping their ears again. After a few minutes, the breath that was sucked in was released with a "hum", so weakly that they were dying.

The only ones who are not afraid are the educated youth.He seemed to be proud of the deterrent power he had just shown. He swung his arms slightly empty, and walked back to his bunk with two copper hammers in his hands. After lying down, he said, "I'm lying here waiting for you, huh? You Didn’t you say that I’ll be in trouble if you come together? I’ll be in trouble waiting.” In less than a minute, the educated youth snored loudly, but it was not known whether it was true or not.The embezzler was injured by that foot and couldn't get up the next day.The educated youth was deducted two out of three meals, and only one meal of beet soup and cornmeal flatbread at night was his share.In addition, he was handcuffed with paper.There is no processing team in the fishery squadron, and it is the group leader who takes care of the punishment.The group leader had sinister intentions and chose invalid invoices to make paper handcuffs. The scrap invoices were almost translucent, and they were glued together in pieces with paste. The paste was made by the group leader with chewed flatbread. Move it and it splits.

The educated youth finished dinner with the help of his elders.After the meal, he asked his elders to help him roll a "cannon barrel" with tobacco leaves and light it for him.Xiao Xing can always receive tobacco leaves or cigarettes wrapped in white paper from the little brothers of the Fighting Group. The old lady asked him what he was thinking at the time, and gave the corrupt criminal such a hard kick.The educated youth said that he thought too much at that moment.He thought, how could he get mixed up with the puddles of dung in the cell?If his father is not a stinky old nine, his mother is not a snobbish woman, and the "anti-rightist", "four cleanups", "cultural revolution" and "devolution" have not happened, he should be an ambassador abroad, a great translator or a big stinky old man. Nine.But it was Laoji who reminded him at that time that he thought that he could only be mixed with shit in his life.So he raised his foot and stomped on the nearest dung. Every time he took a puff of cigarette, the paper cuffs made dangerous noises. If you looked carefully, you could see a crack on the translucent "cuffs".Seeing him struggling to lower his head again, the elders tried to reach for the cigarette in his hand and wanted to help him, but he turned around and stubbornly refused.He was wearing a fuchsia rayon scarf, which my friends told him was given to him by his girlfriend in the fighting gang.He told his elders that nowadays fashionable people outside don't wear cotton and wool, but acrylic, because the color is very bright, there are no discounts, and insects won't eat them.Under his prison uniform, he wore an acrylic sweater and woolen pants knitted by his girlfriend.After the lights were turned off, his acrylic sweater and woolen trousers would crackle and emit sparks.After smoking a cigarette, the elders asked him if he wanted to go to the bathroom, and he could help.He said that the team leader will come to uncuff him soon, so he won't bother his boss.The old couple discovered that he could also be a reasonable person. When it was time to turn off the lights, the group leader did not come.The educated young monkey sat on the head of the bed, looking at the door.The manslaughter on the opposite bunk said, "Xiao Xing, don't pee on the kang." The other prisoners laughed shrilly. The educated young people don't want to share their knowledge this time.The old man heard his paper cuffs rattling and rattling, and opened his eyes to see that he was rolling a "big cannon barrel".The old couple asked him if he wanted to help, and he said, "Go help your aunt."The elders knew that he had turned into a hammered face again, so they turned over to face the wall and let him go.The educated young man pressed the lighter "click click", and there were countless "click clicks". The old man was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe, for fear that he would light the paper cuffs, but he didn't ask for help anymore. The "click click" sound became more and more stubborn, more and more annoyed.There were snores all around, only the old couple clenched their fists under the quilt.He was afraid that his stomach would play tricks on him again tonight, making him keep getting up and lying down, which would cause the misunderstanding of the educated youth, thinking that the old man was watching him or begging for nothing to help him.The old couple increasingly found the importance of being wise and protecting one's life.The "click" seemed to be louder than before, and at the same time, the darkness was pierced by the light, and the hole expanded several times when the old couple turned around quickly: the educated youth has turned into a fireball without a sound.The old couple shouted: "Fire!" At the same time, they picked up the toilet and poured half of the bucket of urine on the "fireball". The fireball rolled to the ground, but the dry Achnatherum splendens on the bunk had already caught fire.The huge tongue of flame effortlessly licked the handles of Achnatherum splendens on the roof, which were also dried out grass handles, and they were all good fuel, and they would catch fire when they touched the fire.The fire roared into the night sky. All the prisoners in the room jumped up, and some of them ran out the door.The old couple tore off the quilts of the educated youths and threw them at the "fireball". The "fireball" jumped on the ground and quickly scattered the fire wherever it reached.The old couple followed the "fireball", and the prisoners and the guards of the People's Liberation Army shouted in their ears: "Come out quickly!... We can't save him!..." The old couple looked at the "fireball" at their feet, started to move, and gradually It became a pile of extremely prosperous bonfires, with a strange smell. Before "Fireball" became "Fireball", he was thinking about his stinky old ninth father, who was the only soft corner in his hard heart. When "Fireball" was wearing paper handcuffs during the day, he still showed his cuteness, letting the old couple understand that he has many dreams, and they are all far-fetched dreams.The old couple saw the people who ran out and ran back at the risk of being burned to death, and rescued their quilts, cotton jackets and soft clothes.In the thick smoke, the old couple randomly grabbed his soft bag, and then grabbed his cotton padded jacket that was smoldering.When he staggered out from the burning straw curtain, he realized that what he was holding was not a cotton coat, but a half quilt of an educated youth. The fire burns smoothly to the east along the splendens handles on the roof.All the prisoners came out, hugging their poor petites, and watched the fire burn to the eastmost cell.They had neither firefighting tools nor fire hydrants.This is a place that lacks water, and the nearest water is Qinghai Lake three miles away.The old couple wore half quilts of educated youths, staring at the roaring fire in a daze. After daybreak, the fire had nothing to burn, so it was extinguished.People picked up two cokes in human form from the old couple's cell. The squadron leader checked the number of people and found that one of the two cokes in human form was a corrupt criminal.But no one could tell who was who, so they all rolled up into straw mats, carried them out and buried them.The prisoners made fun of wrapping them with straw mats, and the two fought to the bottom of the underworld without a fight. The field department temporarily transferred tents to replace the number that could not be restored for a while.The tent was much colder than the cell, and all the inmates in the same cell complained from the cold, and when they complained, they glanced at the elders. The security department of the main field came to investigate the cause of the accident.The old group is working on the ice, installing explosives to fry the ice and catch fish.The prisoners were summoned one by one, explained the process of the fight, and came back in about ten minutes to continue their homework.The old couple gradually discovered that every prisoner who came back looked at him.When the last prisoner was summoned, the old couple suddenly felt cramps in their stomachs.He gritted his few remaining teeth; at this time, he must not go to relieve his hand, and he must not let the security department of the main field think that he is trying to avoid explaining the situation.The next one to be summoned must be someone old, and this is a fatal summons.He was so short of breath, his eyes were fixed on a pack of detonators. Sure enough, how old is the wheel.The group leader took Laoji to the lake, and Laoji felt his intestines contracting and in labor pain.He suddenly experienced the feeling of Wanyu giving birth to three children, and his intestines seemed to give birth to living things.When he was approaching the lake, he couldn't go any longer and stood where he was.When the group leader turned around, he was already lying on the ground. The group leader looked at his appearance and thought he had a heart attack or stroke, which is a disease that should be suffered at a young age. "What's the matter with you, old man?!" The old couple said it was nothing, they just wanted to go to the toilet right away.The group leader didn't believe that he was "nothing" and told him to lie there and not move at all, and he went to call the doctor right away.It was difficult for Lao Ji to even speak, and he just wanted to wait for the interval of labor pains to come so that he could stand up.The group leader ran away step by step on the ice.He slowly got up on the ground, unbuttoned his pants, and before he could squat down, the "birth" began.He hadn't felt so unobstructed for a long time, and it turned out that his intestines were more afraid of being summoned than he was. He lifted his trousers and walked to several earth sheds in the distance, which were the temporary office of the squadron leader and the supervisor, and the statistics room, as well as two rooms where broken fishing nets were piled up and tools for repairing boats and weaving nets.Generally, the cadres who came to inspect the field stayed in the squadron leader's office.We're almost at the earthen shed, and my friends guessed, who will be the guard from the main field?If the officer in Hebei is in charge, he can be regarded as "a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late", and the old couple will be transferred to him again without changing the situation, accepting the destined revenge.His footsteps inadvertently slowed down and gradually stopped.He felt that his intestines began to grow restlessly again, twisting like a dragon in his abdomen.In an instant, the clouds and rain turned upside down again, and the pain made him feel empty in the middle, not advancing or retreating.He moved sideways towards the toilet on the side of the bungalow.Finally in the toilet, only to find out it was nothing more than an alarm drill.At this time, he heard someone talking outside the toilet: "...The scheming old thing must be pretending to be sick. You go to the doctor, and he took the opportunity to run away!" This is Hebei dialect. "No way? His face is purple!" "Dogs can't change eating shit! Old dog, can't change!" Their voices gradually receded into the distance.The old couple walked out of the toilet door while wearing their trouser belts, shouting at the top of their voices: "I'm here!" The group leader and Hebei officer had already reached the corner of the bungalow. They stopped when they heard the voice of the old couple, and turned around. In an instant, the old couple saw a complicated expression on the face of the Hebei officer, which seemed to be disappointment: If the old couple The fact that he had escaped again, as he asserted, gave him an opportunity to hunt down and kill him. "Go to the toilet, just go to the toilet, why lie on the ice and roll?" said the team leader.He also doubted who the old man was.Of course, he immediately saw the advantages and disadvantages between the old couple and the security officer of the main field, and immediately chose a new position. The officer in Hebei said: "Let me go honestly." The old couple walked obediently along a charcoal path to the bungalow. The two people behind them were silent, but the old couple felt that their eyes were busy. The Hebei officer escorted the old couple to the door of the fishing gear warehouse, and asked the group leader to go back to supervise the work.As soon as the group leader leaves, the officer in Hebei can ask Lao Ji to chase rabbits, marmots, or the northwest wind. As long as he orders Lao Ji to chase, Lao Ji has no choice but to chase, and as long as Lao Ji chases, the bullets will chase Lao Ji .The old couple looked at the winter sun, which turned to the south, shining brightly on a "highest instruction" painted with sunflowers and a portrait of Chairman Mao.A row of icicles dripping from under the eaves.Steam was coming out of a crack in one of the windows. It was preparing lunch for the cadre from the main field.The old couple wanted to take a good look at their doomsday. "Go in." Hebei officer said.He closed the door and fastened the bolt after he himself followed. "Why are you causing trouble again, huh?!" The old couple didn't know how to answer.An old prisoner in his seventies who has lost his teeth is treated like a naughty schoolboy. "Tell me, did you instigate that educated youth to fight Yang Xueqin?" It turned out that the name of the embezzler was Yang Xueqin, and I just knew it. The old lady graciously denied any instigation, and even persuaded the educated youth not to fight; a person who has graduated from high school and is only in his early twenties, what can he do to be a scum, and mix with scum like a corrupt criminal?not worth.Save your life, maybe you can still be a college student in the future. "Is that what you said?" the Hebei native asked. The old couple nodded vigorously.He didn't say that.But he is not afraid anymore, people have waited ten years to avenge this arrow, let them avenge it.Laoji is not the same as he was ten years ago. He has made the final heroic contribution to Wanyu and the children: cutting off all social relations with them.Now, if he were to be executed as a heinous enemy who deserved death, he would be a naked enemy, and he would no longer have any "enemy attributes" to implicate. "That's not bad." The Hebei officer said, "Then why do people in your cell say that Xiao Xing stomped Yang Xueqin's foot only after hearing what you said?" The old lady asked the officer in Hebei, did everyone say that Xiao Xing stomped on someone after hearing what his old lady said? "How do I know?! Knowing that I still ask you?! They all said that they didn't hear clearly." The officer in Hebei looked at the old enemy who was in his seventies in front of him. The old couple repeated what he said to persuade the educated youth.The officer in Hebei sneered. "Let Xiao Xing learn a foreign language? When Xiao Xing heard this, he raised his leg and stomped on someone's neck? Will you stomp someone's foot after hearing this?" In the following time, the officer in Hebei sorted out the transcripts and the old couple waited for him to sort them out.After sorting out the notes, it was the end of Lu Yanzhi's life.The officer in Hebei suddenly said loudly: "What are you still doing here?! Go to work!" The old couple stood up, walked to the door like walking corpses, and said goodbye to the Hebei people. The Hebei people don't want to end him right away.For some mysterious reason.Maybe he sorted out the transcript, manipulated it into a confession, and publicly ended him with a major accident that provoked prisoners to fight against prisoners, resulting in two deaths and the burning of the prison. Since then, the couple has been waiting for the second boot to fall.
