Facing the Red Guards from Beiqing Middle School who were about to rush upstairs to search the house, Shen Li, who was blocking the stairs, blurted out: "I know Lu Xiaolong." Zhu Lihong felt humiliated by being condescending, and also felt the repressed impulse of herself and the group of people behind her.For a moment, she felt that she was inflated like a balloon that was blown up, and her volume could fill the entire living room. Although her body was not that tall, it had unexpected width and thickness.After a moment's hesitation, Zhu Lihong also blurted out: "What's the use of knowing him? The revolutionaries and rebels don't recognize their relatives." After speaking, she was about to rush upstairs.

Shen Li stood on the stairs two or three steps higher than the ground to block the way, Zhu Lihong stomped hard on the wooden stairs under her feet, raised the belt threateningly, and pretended to be whipped.Shen Hao stood up tall from the sofa in the living room, hung up the pair of huge eyes under his high forehead, and shouted loudly: "The "Sixteen Points" talks about it, we must fight with literature, not with violence." Zhu Lihong He glanced at this "KMT officer" contemptuously, and said to himself, do you still know the "Sixteen Articles"?She put away the belt in her hand, pushed Shen Li aside, and a group of people rushed up to the second floor, snoring.

The second floor is Shen Li's piano room and Shen Hao's study room. After the doors of each room were opened, one could see the graceful and luxurious furnishings, the open piano and the tall books full of books standing against the wall. bookcase.Zhu Lihong commanded with the belt in his hand: "First take down all the books on the bookshelf and check them, and destroy all the four old books." With Zhu Lihong, Song Fa, one of the members of the Red Guard Headquarters of Beiqing Middle School, As soon as this poor and lower-middle peasant boy saw the antique carved furniture in the room, he said: "This is really a bourgeoisie." He stretched out his palm and pressed a row of piano keys to jingle, and said, "Is this considered the Four Olds?" Zhu Lihong glanced at this poor peasant boy with a cropped head, and felt a little contempt for him in the same hatred against the enemy.She raised her armed belt and tapped the keys a few times, and the piano made a strange and messy sound. She said: "This can't be counted." She also said: "There is still a third floor above, leave a few people here to copy it, and we will go up." She He and Song Fa boldly stomped the wooden stairs and rushed up to the third floor.

Shen Li had already gone up to the third floor and closed all the doors.Zhu Lihong ordered: "Open the door." Shen Li said: "This is our bedroom, outsiders are not allowed to enter casually." Zhu Lihong put his hands on his hips and said: "We are too lazy to appreciate your bedroom, we want to break the four olds." Shen Li Said: "We can break the four olds ourselves." Zhu Lihong said: "The Red Guards have the right to help you break it." Song Fa raised his black eyes and took a sharp look at Shen Li, then avoided Shen Li's gaze, and said to Zhu Lihong: "Don't argue with her, let's go in and copy it." After speaking, he and Zhu Lihong led a group of people Squeezing Shen Li away, knocked open the door behind her.

This is Shen Li's bedroom.The locust tree outside the window filters in the quiet sunshine, and the room is filled with a quiet and elegant atmosphere. Dark brown floor, walls, furniture, a large carved spring bed facing each other, and a dark brown bedside table next to the bed.There are several large wardrobes standing against the wall on the left, and a writing desk on the right by the window.Next to the writing desk is a low cabinet.Come again, in the corner on the right back, is a dressing table diagonally facing the bed.There is also a smaller dressing table in the corner on the front right, and there is a photo of Shen Li in the frame on the table.On the wooden wall facing him, there was a large framed picture of Shen Li sitting on the beach in a swimsuit.This almost life-size photo looks beamingly at everyone who rushes in.

Zhu Lihong felt the pressure of the environment on herself, and at the same time felt the impact and destructive power of herself on the environment.She once again felt her body swelled exponentially, extremely thick.She held the belt in her hand and stood with her hips on her hips, showing the grandeur of sweeping thousands of troops like a mat.She stared coldly at Shen Li's swimsuit photo, and pointed at it with her belt: "This is a fancy dress, this is the four olds!" Among the Red Guards who rushed in, there were a few poor and lower-middle peasants in Song Fa's class. They were obviously stunned by this luxurious bourgeois life, and they were a little timid when they stepped in the door. When the sound of stepping was made, there seemed to be a kind of cringe that was afraid of damaging and dirtying the floor under the feet.A dark-faced boy looked around at the furnishings in the room, opened his mouth ignorantly, and seemed to be a bit shorter.

On the other hand, Song Fa was calm, his eyes narrowed sharply under his thick sword eyebrows, and his expression was a bit gloomy. He stepped on the floor under his feet and said, "This is the bourgeoisie." At the same time, he turned his head and looked at himself viciously. The few poor and lower-middle peasant children who had brought them waved at them and ordered: "What are you doing here, copy quickly!" A dozen or so people rushed to the wardrobe, dressing table, writing desk, bedside table, and a small bookcase next to the wardrobe, and pulled Drawer, open the cabinet door, turn the tide.Zhu Lihong picked up the copper-tipped belt and pulled it towards Shen Li's large mirror frame, and cracks appeared on the glass like an explosion.

Song Fa lifted the mattress on the spring bed and looked at it. He was ashamed of the oppression he had just entered the door, and also impulsive for the revenge at this moment. He felt that he hadn't let go yet.He didn't dare to face Shen Li's cold gaze, and once again felt the humiliation of being oppressed, a new urge to revenge surged in his heart.He yelled "Fuck" and stepped onto the bed, kicking up the soft springs and walking up and down on it.Shen Li looked at him calmly, and he gave Shen Li a condescending look, then averted his eyes, stood on the spring bed with his hands on his hips, and directed the Red Guards to pull out every drawer and conduct a thorough search.

Seeing that the children of the poor and lower-middle peasants he had brought were a little cautious when pulling drawers, far from being as straightforward as the children of cadres, he shouted at them: "What are you afraid of? Revolution is not a dinner party, and you can't be gentle, respectful and frugal. How can you be timid?" He especially yelled at the thick-lipped Red Guard: "Wang Xiaowu, what did you do?" Wang Xiaowu was turning over and over again trying to fit a drawer that had been pulled down into the desk. Looking at the lofty Song Fa.Song Fa waved to him: "Come up." Wang Xiaowu walked to the bedside, a little puzzled.Song Fa stared at him sharply: "Let you come up!" Wang Xiaowu looked at the beautiful soft seat on the bed, hesitated to lift his leg.Song Fa stood up on the bed with his legs apart, and said, "Do you know if I told you to come up? I have no bones, and I don't even have the courage!" Wang Xiaowu lifted one leg and put it on the bed, as if this was a person who couldn't stand it. Where to step.Song Fa stretched out his hand impatiently and pulled him up.Shen Li watched the scene coldly.

Wang Xiaowu glanced at Shen Li, avoided her gaze, and stood beside Song Fa awkwardly.Song Fa reprimanded sternly with his hands behind his back: "This is revolution!" As he spoke, he started to step on the spring bed vigorously from left to right, and then bumped vigorously, and said to Wang Xiaowu, "Learn from me." Wang Xiaowu struggled Stepping on the spring bed from left to right.Because of shrinking, and because he couldn't feel the balance on the spring bed, when he stepped on it in circles and avoided Shen Li's gaze, he stepped on the edge of the bed and fell heavily on the floor.

At this time, someone yelled: "There are still the bedrooms of those two old things. Let's go and copy them there!" Several people were about to rush out of the room, but they stopped suddenly: Lu Xiaolong appeared at the door, behind him Standing in Huajun.Lu Xiaolong caught sight of Zhu Lihong, and asked, "Did you bring it?" Zhu Lihong said, "Yes, we just started copying." Zhu Lihong looked back at Shen Li and said, "She said she knew you." Lu Xiaolong saw Shen Li just now, and was very surprised for a moment.My sister kept saying to help him find her, but I didn't expect to meet her here.He asked Zhu Lihong in a low voice: "Isn't this Shen Hao's house?" Zhu Lihong said: "Yes, she is Shen Hao's daughter, she said she knew you." Lu Xiaolong understood.Shen Hao is a well-known person in the history of the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and he has known this for a long time.Unexpectedly, the beautiful girl she met in Riyuetan Park was the daughter of the Kuomintang warlord.It was only then that he remembered why Shen Hao who was sitting in the living room looked so familiar when he just came up from the first floor. The old gentleman he met by the fountain in Sun Moon Temple Park that day was exactly him.It seems that it is really necessary for me to arrive here in time today.Just now, as soon as he returned to Beiqing Middle School, Hua Jun reported to him what Zhu Lihong had done in leading the Red Guards of Beiqing Middle School these two days.When talking about Zhu Lihong leading the Red Guards to copy Xiyuan, Hua Jun said in the role of Lu Xiaolong's most loyal assistant: "Is it appropriate to copy Xiyuan and people from the democratic parties? If there is any problem, it is yours." Responsibility." He immediately decided to ride over. He nodded to Shen Li, and said to Zhu Lihong: "We do know each other." As usual, Zhu Lihong said in a loud voice that could be heard by the whole audience: "You know each other, so it doesn't prevent us from breaking the four olds?" Lu Xiaolong laughed Smiling, he was looking for his own train of thought.The Red Guards in the room stopped their writhing hands and feet, paying attention to Lu Xiaolong's attitude.Shen Li also looked at Lu Xiaolong expressionlessly at this moment.Lu Xiaolong smiled at Zhu Lihong, and said: "The home of the democratic parties, we don't want to copy it for the time being, for fear that it will not conform to the policy." The chairman has already talked about it, and the People’s Daily has published an editorial.” Lu Xiaolong smiled a little cautiously: “It’s not possible to go to any place that breaks the four old rules. Can you go to a foreign embassy?” He used the method of discussion Said in a tone: "You should take everyone back first." Zhu Lihong turned his face to one side, lowered his eyes and said: "Shen Hao is a great warlord, what can't be copied?" Lu Xiaolong said: "Shen Hao later surrendered to the revolution." Zhu Lihong said: "What happened to the revolution, Peng Zhen?" They were all defeated." Lu Xiaolong said: "Shen Hao also helped Chairman Mao in history." Zhu Lihong "hummed": "Who can prove it?" "You can see it in the literature and history materials." Lu Xiaolong kept talking with a comforting, kind, and reserved smile.Zhu Lihong said angrily, "I never heard Chairman Mao say that." Shen Li glanced at them, walked out of the room, and heard the sound of her pushing open the door of another room. Soon, she brought a mirror frame over and stood it on the dressing table.This is a group photo of Shen Li and Shen Hao standing beside Chairman Mao. Below the photo is a line of small characters: "July 1966 in Wuhan".Zhu Lihong was discouraged.Song Fa got off the bed as quietly as possible, and the messy room was quiet for a moment. Lu Xiaolong looked at the scene in the room, and said to Zhu Lihong in a thoughtful and deliberative tone: "Get out." Zhu Lihong asked unwillingly: "What about other people's house?" Lu Xiaolong still said in a thoughtful voice: "Let's withdraw, it's settled." Zhu Lihong knew that Lu Xiaolong never argued loudly.But every time he seems to express his opinions in a deliberate and deliberative way, it is actually an unchangeable decision.She waved her hand and said, "Get out!" Lu Xiaolong still stood there with his eyes downcast, and said in a low voice, "Clean up before leaving, and try to restore the original state." The Red Guards closed the wardrobe doors and pushed the drawers up. . Wang Xiaowu also went to pull the cracked soft mat. A group of people stepped on the wooden stairs and rolled away.Only Shen Li and Lu Xiaolong were left in the room, and Hua Jun was waiting at the door.Lu Xiaolong smiled unnaturally, and said to Shen Li: "I didn't expect to meet you here today." Shen Li was wearing a white dress with sleeves reaching to the elbows and a hem reaching to her feet. In front of him, looking at the mess in the room, he said: "Look at your team of student leaders." Lu Xiaolong said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, you have to clean up yourself." Shen Li said: "If I don't clean up, who will clean up?" " Lu Xiaolong said: "How about I help you clean up." Shen Li said: "No need." Lu Xiaolong said: "I came here as soon as I heard the news, it's still too late." Shen Li said: " Fortunately, the parents' bedroom has not been ruined." She turned her head to look at Hua Jun standing at the door, and Lu Xiaolong turned around and said to Hua Jun, "Go to each building and have a look, and ask our people to leave first." Hua Jun looked at Lu Xiaolong, then at Shen Li, and went downstairs full of doubts. Lu Xiaolong suddenly felt a little more relaxed. He said: "I didn't expect Shen Hao to be your father, and I didn't expect to meet you by such a coincidence today. Now we really know each other." Shen Li walked around the house wearing slippers After taking two steps, he stopped and said, "It's a great honor. I've heard you famous for a long time, and it's like thunder." Lu Xiaolong grinned: "Where is it? I saw you at the criticism meeting, and my sister said that you care about me." Shen Li lightly kicked the coin that fell on the ground, and said, "I'm just curious." Lu Xiaolong stared in front of his eyes, and said with a half smile, "I asked my sister to inquire about you." "Inquire about me? How to inquire?" Shen Li raised her eyes.Lu Xiaolong said: "My sister said that she has a classmate whose mother is a teacher in the music school, and she can find you through her." "Why are you looking for me?" Shen Li looked at Lu Xiaolong.Lu Xiaolong never got rid of his restraint, he said: "I asked her to inquire." Shen Li looked at this somewhat restrained boy, and thought of Chairman Mao's evaluation of him, she felt amused and smiled: This Lu Xiaolong looks too ordinary, about as tall as her, standing there still looks a bit wimpy , it's a bit inconceivable that this wimpy person can make the Red Guards obey his command.She took two steps in the room, pointed to the picture frame on the wall and said, "Look, my picture frame was broken." Only then did Lu Xiaolong get rid of the restraint of talking face to face, and walked in front of the mirror frame.In the photo, Shen Li is wearing a swimsuit standing on the beach and laughing against the wind. He sincerely praised: "This photo is so beautiful." Shen Li hummed: "The photo is beautiful, where is the person?" Lu Xiaolong turned to look She looked at Shen Li, then looked at the photo and said, "I'm too embarrassed to look directly at you." Shen Li asked, "Why?" Her voice showed familiarity and intimacy.Lu Xiaolong said: "Because people are more beautiful." Shen Li smiled, and for a moment, she even thanked the Red Guards for their actions today, which made her read a very interesting story.At this moment, Lu Xiaolong sincerely thanked the Cultural Revolution. It was this Great Revolution that brought him everything in the beginning.
