When I was repairing instruments in the department, I often saw the woman in white.She was wearing a white coat, walking around under the dark blue light; when she saw me coming in, she said: Yo, the corrupt elements are here.I put down the tools without a word, dragged the chair over, sat down, and began to fix the instruments.This attitude made her uneasy, and began a long explanation: What, angry? ──Can't you just make a joke? ──Hey!I know you are not corrupt!speak! ──Is it my corruption?I embezzled one million from the country, are you satisfied? ... I am patriotic, someone embezzled one million from the country, why should I be satisfied?But I continued in silence, lifting the back of the instrument and delving into its innards.I didn't catch it until a plastic slipper flew towards my head, and told her calmly: I'm not angry, why throw me with a slipper.I have never embezzled a penny, but she called me an embezzler and threw my slippers. I am as unlucky as the girl in the tower.

In the autumn afternoon, I waited for Xue Song in the pagoda.His wild hair was disheveled, like a black feather duster; wearing a black cloak, he walked around under the tower like a horse thief.Behind him, there seemed to be a flea market spread out, with various wooden structures, iron swing arms, and ropes enough to steer ten sailboats.In addition, he also set up a curtain on the ground, and behind the curtain, many figures were shaking.In this way, he is like a pirate again.As soon as it got dark, he was going to set up a ladder with a lifting arm, sitting on the end of the arm and crashing in. Now he is watching the terrain.Since there was no way to sneak into the tower, he wanted to attack it.Usually he is alone, but because he came prepared, it seems that many people came today.

For Xue Song, the pagoda has already taken precautionary measures, and rope nets have been drawn around the pagoda.But it is futile to guard against Xue Song like this. Maybe the rope ladder will use a pair of large scissors as the precursor to cut the rope net to pieces, or maybe it will use countless high-speed rotating hooks as the precursor to tear the rope net to pieces.The people in the tower also knew that the rope net alone was not enough, so they made other preparations.As mentioned earlier, I was waiting for Xue Song, so I actively helped to pull the rope net, and made myself feel awkward in this way.

Behind the rope net, some old godly women brought the charcoal stove, ready to pour the charcoal fire on Xue Song's head to burn his ladder.I also help with this: use a fan to fan the charcoal stove.But it is useless to do this.There will be a big nozzle on Xue Song's ladder, spraying water and rushing over, even the charcoal stove that the old godmother brought them will be drowned.Some old godly women prepared oil-paper umbrellas to cover the charcoal stove.This is also in vain, because there will be a windmill on Xue Song's ladder, blowing their oil-paper umbrellas upside down.There was a command in the tower: Send all the toilets to the top of the tower, that is, they were going to pour him with filth.Hearing this order, I also sat on the toilet and made some contributions to the defense work with practical actions.But it's useless, Xue Song's ladder will have a horn that can rotate flexibly, catch all the dirt, and then use the pump to shoot it back.Only an old godly woman was doing the most wise thing. She painted out the words "Xue Song is not allowed to enter" on the sign outside the tower.That way he could get in without having to destroy the windows in the tower.But this is also in vain, since Xue Song is ready to attack this tower, nothing can stop him.All the girls in the tower flocked to the corridor on Xue Song's side, watching him prepare to attack, which made people worry that the tower would fall to that side...

Regarding this pagoda, I have already said that the pagoda is as beautiful as clouds.The most beautiful women in Chang'an are all inside, so it is an honor to be able to enter this tower.But this glory alone is not enough.There needs to be a man outside who will create a ladder of love for you to attack this tower of anti-love.For this reason, those girls warmly greeted and blew kisses to Xue Song on the porch, while Xue Song was tying the wooden frame, biting the rope in his mouth, unable to answer, but waving.Because he is temporarily mute, who is his target this time is also a mystery for the time being.To be honest, I don't want to reveal the mystery too early.

As soon as it got dark, Xue Song had already finished the ladder and sat on his own ladder, just like a crane driver.But the entire lifting arm is covered under a black cloth curtain, like a bronze statue to be unveiled.How he planned to attack the tower was also a mystery - all the girls held their breath and put their hands on their chests, ready to applaud.I'd like to see what he's up to this time, too, but I'm not stupid enough to stand by the fence, because all the old godmothers are looking for me by the fence.I mixed in the defensive team, busy before and after. On the one hand, I was resisting my lover, that is, against myself, and on the other hand, I was hiding from the limelight.Whenever a good old woman walks by, I keep my head down, because I am afraid of being recognized.But this is the inferiority of the modern school. There was a man who kept his head down and looked very conspicuous, which attracted an old godly woman to stand beside me.I lowered my head, and she lowered her head even lower, almost lying on the ground.Finally, she said to me: Child, can you hide by lowering your head?At this time, I bravely raised my head and said with a smile: If you had raised your head, you would have recognized it a long time ago.

After the girl in the tower was recognized, she came to the director surrounded by a group of old godly women.She bravely put forward a suggestion: Xue Song made a big attack to get her.Although she hated Xue Song the most, she was ready to stand up and hand herself over to Xue Song, allowing him to humiliate her and sacrifice herself to preserve the entire pagoda. This was the most worthwhile thing.As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing, and it was obvious that what she said was ironic.Because her lover came to aggressively attack Benta, it was a festival for her, so she was very happy.The director's mother-in-law praised her spirit of self-sacrifice, but said, we will never make a deal with the enemy, and would rather sacrifice the whole tower to save you alone.The most urgent task now is to hide you and prevent Xue Song from finding you.These words should have moved people, but the girl trembled, because the supervisor's mother-in-law also spoke ironically.She quickly put forward a counter-suggestion, saying that the pagoda gate should be opened wide and rushed out to fight Xue Song.Obviously, this suggestion would be greatly welcomed by Xue Song; it is impossible for him to be unprepared—besides, she could also take the opportunity to run away.The director's mother-in-law also pointed out that we can't rush outside to fight with men, it's not a lady's demeanor.Then, like it or not, she was escorted to the bottom of the tower.There is a huge bluestone slab here, and when it is uncovered, it reveals a crypt, a stone step down and a road of no return leading to the underworld.If a girl made an unforgivable mistake, the director's mother-in-law would send her down and come up by herself. After that, no one would mention this girl.The director pointed to a bamboo basket beside the hole and said, "Take off your clothes, it's dirty underneath; it seems that this girl will come back and put on this dress again, which seems very hypocritical."

We know that the director is reluctant to part with this cashmere robe, it is worth a lot of money, and it shouldn't rot in the basement like this girl.And she needed this robe now, for she was shivering with cold: but she made no rebuttal, only a little red around her eyes, a little white bit her lips, but all the more charming.She held her breath for a while, and finally said in a rough voice: "It's nothing; just take off your clothes and stand naked."Then, the director looked at her with a smile and said: It's not that I don't trust you, but I have to tie your hands.At this moment, the girl's lips moved, as if she was about to curse.But she still turned around abruptly, stretched out her hands behind her back, and said: I hate it!bundle it!The director's mother-in-law took the leather rope from others and came to tie her hands herself. The girl said fiercely: "Tie it tight!"If you break free I'll strangle you to death.The director's mother-in-law said: That's right.I'm going to bundle a few more.So he tied her tightly.Then the director took out a delicate iron chain, fastened it around the girl's neck, and closed it a few times skillfully, strangling her until she couldn't breathe, and leaned on his shoulder tamely.By the way, the director's mother-in-law has thick fingers, thick palms, and solid muscles on her forearms. One can tell that she is very strong.She controlled the girl with her right hand, picked up the lantern with her left hand, and someone offered to go with her, she said: No, the less people know the way down, the better; then she dragged the girl down the stairs on the right—when going down the stairs The hand loosened a bit, allowing her to look down at the road, and once she reached the bottom, the chain was tightened, so that the girl could only walk on tiptoe, looking at the dark stone ceiling.In this way, he breathed a lot of musty smell, turned a lot of turns, and finally came to a stone wall.Under the dim light, you can see that the unevenness of the wall is full of dust, and the corners of the wall are covered with cobwebs.The girl thought: How can there be flying insects in this place?Spiders come here to weave their webs, and it is inevitable that they will fail.She was so worried about the spider's fate that she forgot the pain of the iron rope strangling her neck...

The director's mother-in-law inserted the lantern into the hole in the wall, chained the girl around the waist with the chains in the hoops on the wall, and then loosened the chains around her neck.After that the girl couldn't wait to breathe in the musty stench of the basement.The director's mother-in-law said: "Okay, child, you are safe here."No one can come here to tarnish your innocence... The girl endured the pain in her throat and said in a flat voice: Get out of here before I spit on you!The director said, you speak too rough and have no manners.It seems that it is time to come here and reflect on it-I am familiar with this word, people often say it to me, but I am very disgusted with it-the girl said: Reflect on shit.The director's mother-in-law didn't want to listen to this language anymore, so she picked up the lantern and was about to leave.At this time the girl said: Xue Song will definitely come to save me.Although Xue Song is very capable, he may not be able to find her underground, let alone find her in the delusional basement.She said that it is not necessarily certain, and she is cheering herself up.But the director's mother-in-law turned around, inserted the lantern and said: You reminded me well.In case Xue Song comes here, if you call out, he will find you.So, keep your mouth shut.Then, the old man took out a pistachio mouthpiece from the pocket of her robe.

Afterwards, the girl turned her head to the side desperately and closed her teeth tightly; until the director's mother-in-law grabbed her hair fiercely and twisted her nose vigorously, she said: "I'm so talkative!"I deserve it... So she turned her head and opened her mouth vigorously.The director's mother-in-law thought she was going to bite her, so she backed away.But she said again: put it on.Then he opened his mouth wide as if asking a doctor to look at his throat, and carefully bit the pistachio tree; then he lowered his head and let the mother-in-law fasten the leather rope of the mouthpiece behind her head.After that, she raised her head and looked around like a harmonica player.This time the director's mother-in-law was really leaving, but she felt that she had to confess a few words, so she said: Actually, you are a very good-looking girl.I don't want to treat you like this.The girl snorted something like "fuck you".The director's mother-in-law said again: After Xue Song leaves, maybe I will come and let you go.She was a little embarrassed herself because it was a big lie, and the girl snorted again, which seemed to be "fuck your grandma".Then, the superintendent left, leaving the girl in the darkness of the grave.
