Chapter 25 Chapter 24 Scholar Training

one Last winter, Si Yong saw Zipeng taking Xiuxiu outside the church again, shouting "Merry Christmas" and throwing change to a group of beggars. He once joked with Zipeng: "These children know Jesus before they see it. How can you care about Christmas if you have read the Bible?" She didn't expect that Zipeng, who always spoke submissively in front of her, replied without thinking, "We didn't know Qu Yuan when we were young, and we didn't read "Li Sao". Isn’t the Dragon Boat Festival the same?” After saying this, they both forgot about it, but the Dragon Boat Festival is really approaching, but Si Yong suddenly remembered this incident for no reason, and felt that Zipeng’s occasional words were still very rude. Makes sense.Many times, Si Yong thought that if it wasn't for that inexplicable baby kiss, the relationship between her and Zipeng would not be as embarrassing as it is now.

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, what kind of zongzi will the family make this year, will Dad invite the dragon boat to participate in the annual dragon boat race held on the Xiangjiang River this year?After school, Si Yong thought this way and returned home humming a tune. He entered the living room, only to see that Chairman Tao had returned and was carefully looking at a piece of white gauze. Large stacks of delicate gift boxes. "Si Yong, are you back? Come quickly," President Tao held up the snow-white gauze in his hand and gestured towards Si Yong, "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and these are gifts from your aunt and uncle. You and Zipeng Aren’t you going to graduate next year? What do your aunts and the others mean? When the time comes, I’ll get you fresh ones and hold a Western wedding. This one is specially entrusted to buy from France. It’s the best fabric for wedding dresses. dislike?"

He chattered excitedly, but didn't notice that Si Yong's face had sunk, and he pushed the fabric of the wedding dress away with one hand.Chairman Tao hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, isn't it pretty?" "I don't want it to look good or not!" "If you don't like it, then we will hold a Chinese wedding, and I will tell the Wang family." "I don't want anything!" Si Yong turned around and left, knocked down the stacked gift boxes with his hands, and the large and small ornaments inside rolled out, messing up the tidy living room all at once.

"Si Yong!" President Tao called to stop his angry daughter, "Si Yong, I know, there are some things you don't like to hear, but you are not a child anymore, you can't just follow your temper. You and Zipeng, That's a marriage that your grandpa and grandpa decided on, how can you just say no to it?" "I don't like my cousin, why should I marry him? Grandpa and grandpa have passed away for many years, why should they have the final say on my affairs?" Si Yong turned her back to her father without turning her head. "It is only right and proper for the elders to decide on matters of marriage."

"Dad, can I ask you a question?" Si Yongteng turned around, "You and Mom are also married by elders, do you feel happy?" President Tao didn't expect his daughter to mention his parents like this, so he couldn't help but was stunned, and after a long time he murmured, "I...your mother and I are not bad, we have always respected each other and treated each other as guests..." "Yes, you respect each other as guests, but between husband and wife, is respect enough? I still remember that before Mom passed away, you two were so polite every day, meeting, saying hello, eating together, and then what? , you do your business, she reads her novels, you can't even talk a few words a day. Even if you quarrel once, it's fine, but you don't quarrel. It's like this for more than ten years, half of your life. Dad, Do you really feel happy being with your mother? Have you ever regretted that kind of marriage? Can you answer me? "

After Si Yong finished speaking his heart like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, he turned and went upstairs, ran into his bedroom, and left Chairman Tao alone in the living room.This time, President Tao did not stop his daughter.His daughter's words deeply touched the pain in his heart. He leaned on the back of the sofa and looked up at the photo of him and his wife hanging on the wall.In the blurry black-and-white photo, he in long robes and his wife in flag-style attire sit across the tea table with a blank expression on their faces. For his daughter's happiness, he decided to go to Wang's house that night.

Boss Wang and Mrs. Wang were a little disappointed to see President Tao coming alone.But then he enthusiastically invited his brother-in-law to sit down, ordered the servants to make tea, and specifically said that Zipeng had gone for a walk and would be back soon.Contrary to Si Yong's mother's personality, this sister-in-law is eloquent, sharp and capable, and President Tao has always kept her at arm's length.Over the years, even when his wife was alive, it was the Wang family who went to visit Tao's house. After his wife passed away, the two families visited less frequently, but it was still only the Wang family's visit to Tao's house.Speaking of which, the Tao family is the woman's wife, so they should be more reserved. Besides, my sister and brother-in-law know everything about their personality and family business, so the Wang family and his wife didn't think about anything else. They had long regarded Si Yong as the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. Si Yong is the only daughter of the Tao family, everything in the Tao family will belong to the Wang family sooner or later, so why bother?

President Tao certainly understands what the Wang family and his wife are thinking. In fact, why didn't he think so these years?But the crux of the matter is that the premise for him to think the same way is that Si Yong will marry into the Wang family and Zipeng will grow old together, so that his daughter's happiness is guaranteed.But now that her daughter doesn't want to marry Zipeng, all these plans are meaningless.He thought, picked up the tea, flicked the tea leaves, and considered how to speak.Boss Wang saw President Tao's expression was a little strange, so he asked him if he was worried.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it. For the past few days, I... have been thinking about Zipeng and Si Yong. The two of them, it turned out that they were young. The elders made the decision, so it was decided. But now, the children are all I'm getting older, I'm in my early twenties, and I'm at the age when I have my own ideas, time flies so fast..." When Chairman Tao said this, Mrs. Wang thought she understood what her brother-in-law meant, and clapped her hands and said, "This is on point, brother-in-law, you are in a hurry. We are more anxious than you. Look at me, seventeen Eighty, the children can be called parents, it's not like the two of them, in their twenties, it's still delayed, it should be done long ago."

"Yeah, brother-in-law, it turns out that you have been silent all this time. We are in a hurry and don't want to rush you. It's rare for you to talk about this today. I think it's time to prepare for them. It's a happy event. It should be early." It’s not too late. According to what I want, don’t wait for graduation or not, pick a good day and do it as soon as possible.” Chairman Tao, who originally wanted to tactfully propose retiring the engagement, heard the words of the couple, and was not sure if they hadn't heard their true intentions, and said, "That's not what I mean, I mean, the times It's different, young people have their own ideas, and if we elders make decisions, they may not necessarily be willing..."

"How can this kind of thing be left to them? Can't we as parents worry about it?" Boss Wang glared at his wife: "Brother-in-law's words are also reasonable. After all, Si Yong is still studying, and if he really wants to get married, it's not easy to go out and show his face again, right? It's still according to our original discussion. When they graduate, they will be married. Do it. It will only take a year. Our two families will make preparations early, and the children will be happy when the time comes. Brother-in-law, what do you think?" "This..." President Tao looked at this shrewd brother-in-law, and could only vaguely agree, "Yes, also..." "Uncle?!" President Tao didn't know what to say when Zipeng came back from a walk.Seeing that President Tao was present, he yelled, and looked back at Xiuxiu who was following behind. Xiuxiu hurriedly lowered her head and looked at her toes.On the way just now, Zipeng told Xiuxiu that he hoped that he would never graduate, that those who should not come would never come, and that those worth cherishing would stay with us forever.They all knew in their hearts that what was worth cherishing was the friendship between him and Xiuxiu, and what shouldn't be was his marriage with Si Yong.But the voice was still ringing in his ears, seeing President Tao at home, which made Zipeng a little embarrassed. "What uncle? Don't call me uncle in the future. Your uncle is here today to discuss your marriage with Si Yong. We have already fixed the date. So, from today on, you should be called father-in-law directly." Mrs. Wang Pushing Boss Wang, "Wan Yuan, do you think so?" "Yes, yes, call father-in-law! It's hard for your father-in-law to come here because of your affairs, hurry up, call now, and make his old man happy, call." Although he has been engaged to Si Yong since he was a child, and knew that sooner or later he would call President Tao "father-in-law", Zi Peng never thought that this day would come so suddenly.He looked at his parents, and then at Xiuxiu. His parents had expectations on their faces, and Xiuxiu lowered his head, so he couldn't see the expression on her face.President Tao didn't expect the Wang family couple to come up with such a move, but he didn't know how to refuse, seeing Zipeng speechless. "Sooner or later, you'll be screaming. What are you waiting for? Zipeng, look at this kid, he's too embarrassed, but you're screaming." "Zipeng!" Mother's words hide needles in the cotton, and father's words are simply orders. Zipeng is like a prey that has been cornered, helpless to the extreme.His lips were trembling, but he still called out with difficulty: "Yue...father-in-law." Boss Wang and Mrs. Wang laughed heartily, Chairman Tao stood up numbly, and Xiuxiu lowered her head even lower. two On the land of Hunan, there have been too many heroes who dared to be the first in the world. The most famous one is the literati Zeng Guofan Zeng Wenzhenggong who is famous for his martial arts.In the 18th year of Daoguang, Zeng Guofan entered Beijing as a scholar from a remote mountain village in Xiangxiang, Hunan Province.Returning to Changsha because of his mother's funeral, coincided with the huge waves of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom sweeping across the land of Xianghu Lake. Due to the situation, he organized a special militia group in his hometown - the Hunan Army, and went through hardships to pacify the world for the Qing Dynasty. He was named the first-class Marquis of Courage , Became the first person to be named Marquis of Wu as a literati in the Qing Dynasty.The era in which Zeng Guofan lived was a turbulent era when the Qing Dynasty changed from the prosperity of Qianjia to the decline and decline, and internal and external troubles followed. Due to the efforts of Zeng Guofan and others to turn the tide, there was a situation of "Tongzhi Zhongxing". Zeng Guofan was in this transitional period The key figures of the Communist Party of China had a remarkable influence in various aspects such as politics, military affairs, culture, and economy. For a time, it became the tradition of Hunan scholars to "strengthen the military and strengthen the army to strengthen the country's strength."Mao Zedong, who was still a student in the first division, served Zeng Guofan alone among many heroes in modern times, and firmly believed that it would not work to be locked in the study to read dead books. After Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Huang Xing, Cai E, which one is not Great achievements made on the battlefield?Therefore, only by cultivating both civil and military skills can one become a master!In 1917, China had already announced its participation in the First World War, and domestic warlords were raging everywhere. Therefore, Mao Zedong, who was about to graduate in one year, wanted to train students in the First Division. His idea was strongly endorsed by Kong Zhaoshou and Yang Changji, but this was not simply organizing students to do gymnastics. To be prudent, Kong Zhaoshou invited Tan Yankai, then the governor of Hunan, on this matter: "The words are presented to the Governor of Hunan, Marshal Tan Yankai: Steal Zhao Shouyi was re-appointed as the principal of the First Normal School... He regards personality education, military and national education, and practical education as the only teaching principle to realize national salvation and strength... Our nationals are weak... Diplomatic failures over the years have been attributed to lack of combat strength. Backing... Only iron and blood can buy justice in the world, and only armed forces can make peace... Therefore, the school promotes the spirit of martial arts, and sincerity is the essence of today, and it is necessary for the student volunteer army to initiate it..." Wang Zipeng only found out about this when he saw the "Registration Notice for Extracurricular Student Volunteer Army" on the school's bulletin board.There are two desks lined up next to the bulletin board, surrounded by students who have signed up.After Zipeng read the notice carefully, he was ignorant of what was said in it, but a concise slogan next to it moved his heart. "Iron and blood can buy justice, and armed forces can buy peace." Looking at this slogan for a long time, Zipeng's heart was full of manly pride, and he understood why so many students signed up, and he also stood at the back of the line, ready to sign up.Looking at one by one students wearing brand-new student army uniforms and happily pushing out of the crowd, although Zipeng was very envious, he thought that in the eyes of his classmates, he was usually a young master who couldn't bear hardships, even if he signed up, he might not be accepted. After being admitted, my heart that was just boiling became cold again, and I hesitated to go forward.However, this is also a good opportunity to change the bad impression, so what's the point of giving it a try?Maybe I can't do worse than others... After hesitating for a long time, Zipeng finally mustered up his strength and pushed forward. "Let's go, let's go." Just at this moment, Mao Zedong and Zhang Kundi came over with two bundles of new military uniforms. Zipeng just looked ahead and didn't give way. Mao Zedong impatiently rubbed him and called Wang Wang. Young master, what are you doing here when you say there are so many people?Don't get in the way.Zipeng was startled, and quickly moved aside. As soon as Mao Zedong and the others passed by, the students behind squeezed up and pushed him to the outermost side. Zipeng thought about Mao Zedong's words, looked at the huddled classmates, sighed, and the courage he had just mustered dissipated again. The student army trains after class every afternoon. In the dormitory of Class 8, everyone except Zipeng participated.Zipeng was like a stray goose, feeling uncomfortable wherever he stayed, so he simply ran to the side of the playground to watch their training. "One two one, one two one, one, two, three, four!" Amidst the roaring roar, the students were wearing imitation military uniforms, armbands of the "First Normal Student Army" and wooden fake guns on their shoulders. Down the practice queue.Zipeng stared intently at Mao Zedong, who was leading the team and shouting fuck. He walked at the front of the team, and his movements looked so heroic.At the beginning of school four years ago, Zipeng heard Mao Zedong tell Yi Yongqi that among the students in the school, Mao Zedong was the only one who had actually served as a soldier and carried a gun, and he was a regular soldier. Association 50 standard left cohort soldiers.Although they only served for half a year, their head of training at that time was Cheng Qian, a top student in the Japanese Kowu Hall, and they were given a whole set of formal Japanese army drills.Looking at it today, it really is true. No wonder Mao Zedong was so proud whenever he talked about that experience. Looking at Mao Zedong's strong body and his own thin body, Zipeng really wished he could run into the playground immediately, follow Mao Zedong, and train with other students following his shouts.But think about the way Mao Zedong looked at him, but turned around involuntarily and wanted to go back to the dormitory.But just as soon as he raised his foot, he saw Cai Hesen coming to visit with Principal Kong and Teacher Yang while talking, so he had to turn back and lean against the tree trunk, pretending to be watching the training. "Zhaoshou, you, the student army of the First Normal School, are doing so well!" "It's hard for Runzhi and the others. I promised him to ask the Governor's Mansion for real guns, but in the end, I couldn't get them a real gun." "Scholars training soldiers, can Governor Tan really take these children seriously? Being able to issue a few wooden guns is already giving face." "I'm afraid that this fake gun won't be able to practice real skills!" "It's not really fighting on the front line. What the students need to practice is the martial spirit of the soldiers. As long as they can develop that energy, what does it matter if the gun is real or not?" It was the two gentlemen who spoke, and Cai Hesen remained silent.After they passed by, Zipeng looked at their backs, chewed on their conversation just now, heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly made up his mind. The training was over, and the students walked out of the playground screaming and screaming. Mao Zedong was still full of energy, shouting: "This is called the training is miserable? Let me tell you, it's just the beginning! That's the queue, lying down, and then, Cross-country, fighting, stabbing, and obstacles, you know what military training is!" As soon as he finished speaking, someone said: "Don't worry, Chief Mao, how you practiced in the barracks before, we are the same, if you can't hold it, you are not a good man." Seeing everyone talking and laughing and about to pass in front of him, Zipeng timidly called Mao Zedong twice.Seeing that it was Zipeng, Mao Zedong was a little surprised, so he stopped and asked, "Call me? What's the matter?" "I...my that..." Zipeng twisted his pale fingers nervously. "I have something to talk about!" "I...I want to sign up for the student army." The students who had already walked to the front were stunned. They stopped to look at Wang Zipeng and then at Mao Zedong.Mao Zedong looked up and down the thin and pale Zipeng, as if he couldn't believe his ears: "You?" After speaking, he laughed three times, ran a few steps to catch up with the students in front, and walked away. Zipeng knew that Mao Zedong always hated him as a young master, but he never thought that he would treat him like this.Under the pointing of the junior students next to him, Zipeng walked sleepily on the path beside the playground.Cai Hesen had just sent the two gentlemen away, turned back, saw the appearance of Zipeng and the students around him, and asked Zipeng what happened.Knowing what happened, Cai Hesen pulled Zipeng on and walked to the dormitory of Class 8. Mao Zedong had just changed from the imitation military uniform and put on his homemade clothes, which were buttoned up. When he heard that Cai Hesen was here to intercede with Wang Zipeng, he looked at Zipeng and said, "He is still a student army? His young master is about the same." Zipeng was stared at by Mao Zedong and took a step back. Cai Hesen grabbed him and said to Mao Zedong: "Zipeng is also a student of a normal school, a normal student army, why can't he join?" "You look at him like that, like a glutinous rice dumpling, with such a person, my student army can still be successful?" "Runzhi, this is your fault. When did the First Normal University Student Volunteer Army become yours? Zipeng usually has a weak personality, but since he wants to sign up, it proves that he wants to change and wants to be strong." Get up. Your registration notice also said that all my classmates are eligible to register, so why do they have to be divided into different classes when they come to Zipeng?" "He is a young master!" "The young master is not human anymore? I know you don't have a good impression of him, but you don't even give him a chance, how do you know that he will not do it?" "If you don't believe me, I'll bet you that his young master is useless!" Mao Zedong's tone softened, and he agreed to Cai Hesen and gave Zipeng a chance. three After class the next day, Zipeng received the military uniform of the student army. Although the clothes were a bit too big and worn loosely on his body, Zipeng was very excited and lined up at the end of the whole team, carrying a wooden gun. Under the command, the marching training was carried out.Zipeng's usual physical education grades are just barely passable, and he is struggling to follow in the team. He almost loses his pace when standing still, or slows down others in the process of walking. The most uncomfortable thing for him is lying down. fall. Mao Zedong gave an order, and he was the first to throw himself on the ground firmly.Behind them, the student army fell to the ground, and Zipeng, who was at the end, gritted his teeth in pain.Following several consecutive "down", "stand up", "down", "stand up", the corners of Zipeng's mouth twitched in pain, but he was still sweating profusely to hold on... When Zipeng returned home at night, as soon as he entered the house, Mrs. Wang screamed, thinking that her son had been robbed.Zipeng explained for a long time before letting his mother understand that he was participating in military training. "You say you child, what's not fun, playing war with those desperate people, look, look, look, what does it look like?" Mrs. Wang pulled Zipeng to the sofa and sat down, inspecting his son With redness and swelling, she beckoned Xiuxiu to get iodine immediately.Xiuxiu gently wiped Zipeng's skinned elbow with cotton wool dipped in iodine, and the pain made him twitch. .Mrs. Wang heard from her son that this kind of training would last for another two months. At first she wanted to persuade Zipeng not to go, but after seeing that she couldn’t be persuaded, she arranged for Xiuxiu to cook some heat-relieving soup every afternoon when Zipeng was training. . After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun is no different from the flames. The ground is scorching hot, and when it shines on the skin, it makes people feel hot. Therefore, the training of the student army is even more challenging.During the training, as soon as there was a break, the students would "coax" them all to run to the shade of the tree, open their clothes to fan the wind, and scramble to drink water, but Zipeng stayed on the playground alone because of too much training. After practicing, the chest and back were soaked in sweat, and the sweat was still dripping down the face.Mao Zedong pointed out the essentials to Zipeng and advised him to take a rest. Zipeng stubbornly insisted on squeezing time to catch up with the progress of his classmates.Mao Zedong looked at Zipeng appreciatively, and said, "Then you practice first, I'll go drink water, and bring you a bowl too." After resting for a while, continue to practice stabbing.Groups of students lined up, one after another wooden guns stabbed out continuously, the whole playground was full of killing sounds, and each and every student was very excited to practice.Zipeng was at the end of a group of classmates, because he had never been exposed to the sun before, and his mental state was very bad. "Next, Wang Zipeng, Wang Zipeng!" "Oh." Zipeng was startled, and realized that it was his turn. He straightened his posture and stabbed out with his spear. However, the spear was clumsy and didn't even touch the edge of the stake. Too hard, almost fell.The classmates next to me laughed.Zipeng regained his composure and stabbed again, but it still missed a bit, and the gun missed the stake.He missed it several times in a row.His actions were so funny that the students next to him laughed together. Everyone rested again. Under the scorching sun, Zipeng gritted his teeth and stabbed the stake with a wooden spear.The wooden stake vibrated his hand and rubbed against his palm. The place where the gun body shook his hand was already stained with blood, but he still stabbed hard with his head sullen. "Master." Xiuxiu came with sour plum soup according to his wife's order, opened the clay pot behind Zipeng, put the soup next to Zipeng, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Zipeng's sweat.Zipeng glanced at the students not far away, wanting to avoid her, but couldn't refuse her kindness, so he stretched out his hand to stop her.Xiuxiu found the blood on the young master's hand, she grabbed it in fright, and hurriedly wrapped it with a handkerchief. "It's okay, Xiuxiu, really don't..." "Why is it okay? Your hands are so tender, how can you bear this? Look, they are still bleeding!" Seeing this scene from a distance, Mao Zedong was not happy, and walked over with a tigerish face, "Wang Zipeng, what are you doing? How many times have I told you that there is no young master on the military training ground! You still have maids and servants to wait on you. Your family? If you can’t stand the pain, you should leave quickly, if you want to be a young master and go home, you have to act like a man here, do you hear me?” Zipeng's face flushed red.Xiuxiu was still holding his hand and bandaging it: "Master, don't move, it hasn't been wrapped yet!" "Don't wrap it!" Zipeng suddenly yelled at her, "I don't want you to give me bags, I don't want you to send this or that, I don't want people to take care of me like a child, don't bother me anymore, okay?!" He shook his hand violently, and the untied handkerchief flew to the ground.With a bang, the clay pot containing the soup was knocked over by his feet, and the soup spilled all over the floor!Xiuxiu was stunned, tears welled up, she didn't wipe them, she turned around and ran out of the playground.Zipeng himself was also frightened by this sudden temper, he froze for a moment, threw the gun away, and went after Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu cried all the way and ran past a teahouse. Liu Junqing came out of the teahouse leisurely with a few Santanghui subordinates. He is now more handsome than when he was the captain of the detective.But as soon as she saw Xiuxiu, the expression on her face immediately softened a lot, and she quickly followed up to ask, but how to ask, Xiuxiu just didn't say a word, just stood on the street corner and cried.Liu Junqing became impatient: "What happened, can't you tell the truth to brother? Did you get angry at the Wang family?" When Xiuxiu heard this, she wiped away her tears.Liu Junqing realized that she had guessed right, and immediately became furious: "I went to Wang's house several times, but you never saw me. I told you not to be a maid, but you didn't listen. Now I know I'm angry? I've been looking for you so many times, please. I beg you to stop doing it, I beg you to come out and be a young lady, my brother takes care of you, but you don't, you say you...don't you be mean?" One sentence hurt Xiuxiu's heart, she turned around and was about to leave, Liu Junqing quickly grabbed her, and tried to soften her tone: "Axiu, I shouldn't be angry with you, it's my fault. I know, I know you look down on me. Brother is such a scumbag, and I know that I am a scumbag. But brother is really doing it for your own good, and I don’t want to see you living that poor life again!” Speaking of the sad part, he himself let out a long sigh before squatting down. "Brother's life, anyway, is over, it will be the day it will be. But you are different, brother owes you too much, this world owes you too much, brother has nothing else, just want you to live well One point, I just want you to be happy, even if I beg you, okay? Why...why don’t you give me a chance..." Liu Junqing covered his face, tears flowed from his fingers.Xiuxiu looked at it, and remembered how many times she had seen her brother waiting for her outside the Wang family, lingering for a long time before leaving, and she was a little moved, she put her hand on Liu Junqing's shoulder lightly, and called out: "Brother!" This long-lost voice made Liu Junqing tremble. He stood up and was about to say something when Zipeng's voice suddenly came: "Axiu!" show.Xiuxiu withdrew her hand from her brother's shoulder and lowered her head. For a while, none of the people spoke. "Let's talk!" Looking at Zipeng, then at his sister, Liu Junqing seemed to understand something suddenly, turned around and walked out of the alley, walked out of the alley, leaned against the corner again, and eavesdropped on the conversation between his sister and Zipeng. "Axiu, I'm sorry, I... I'm really not angry with you, I'm just annoyed, don't be angry." "I'm just a maid, how dare I get angry if the young master scolds me a few words?" "Axiu! I really didn't mean it. I know you care about me, but...do you know? Why did I participate in military training? Because I don't want to be so weak all the time, because I have always envied my classmates , Mao Zedong, Cai Hesen, and many classmates around me, they all live so free, so happy, so courageous. I just want to live like them and be as strong as them. I just hope that I can be brave and be able to Protect the person I really want to protect! But I... But I can't do it well, I'm really annoying, annoying!" "The young master should protect Miss Tao." "I don't want to protect Miss Tao, and I don't want others to force me into a marriage!" "But the marriage between the young master and Miss Tao has already been decided. How can the young master not listen to the words of the master and wife? Miss Tao is so beautiful, so knowledgeable, the young master and her are a natural couple. Xiuxiu is a girl Huan, I only hope that the young master can live happily with Miss Tao in the future, Xiuxiu will be happy." After a long while, Liu Junqing still hadn't heard the sound by the wall outside the alley. He poked his head out and saw that his sister had already left. Zipeng was still standing there blankly. A plan is made. Four A few more carriages suddenly stopped outside the gate of Tao Mansion these days: beside the courtyard wall, there were two rickshaws waiting for guests, one of which was smoking dry tobacco, the other covered his head with a straw hat, leaning on the cart and dozing.Not far away, there were two or three carts, and the coachman and some idlers were playing chess together.However, because the front gate is a downtown area, cars often come and go, and no one in the Tao family cares. Nothing unexpected happened for a few days in a row. The driver outside the door didn't seem to care about the quality of the business, and he was still lazy.That night, under the light of the moonlight, President Tao and his daughter chatted, and suddenly mentioned the marriage of Tao Wang's family: "Emotions can be cultivated slowly. If you want to talk about Zipeng, although he is a little weak , but this is also his advantage, honest man! Follow him, at least it is reassuring, isn't it? You are cousins, and it's not completely ignorant. I know, you may not listen to what you say now, but this relative After all, it is a settled matter, and Dad can't just go back on his word with the Wang family, you should think about it!" Si Yong was annoyed when she heard this, and ignored her father, and walked out of the door with a sullen face, even ignoring the housekeeper's call to her.At the corner of the gate, the rickshaws were still parked. Seeing Si Yong waving his hand, the dozing driver raised his straw hat slightly and pointed his fingers at the other driver, who then pulled the cart to meet him. "No. 1 Normal School." Si Yong said as he got into the car. After the car Si Yong was in left, the dozing driver suddenly lifted his straw hat and sat up, revealing Liu Junqing's pretty face in the moonlight.With a wave of his hand, a driver behind ran up, pulled him up and left.Several other rickshaws followed at the same time. Chairman Tao saw his daughter leaving the living room, thinking that she would come back after just wandering around the yard. He didn't hear anything for a long time, so he asked the housekeeper where she went.The housekeeper replied that he didn't know, and didn't answer her call, but just listened to her call for a car, as if he was going to some kind of teacher's school.President Tao frowned, got up and said, "Prepare the carriage and go to the First Normal School." But at this time, Si Yong had no idea that he had entered a dangerous situation.In the streets and alleys at night, there are only a few pedestrians and hawkers sparsely, but there are a few rickshaws following each other running unhurriedly on the Qingshi street.In the car at the front sat the preoccupied Si Yong. She seemed to ignore the street scenes all the way, and she didn't even notice that the driver's arm with his sleeves rolled up had a tattoo unique to Santanghui.In the car behind them, Liu Junqing squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was looking at the car in front and the pedestrians on the left and right.The car turned into an alley, which was very dark, and there were not even a single pedestrian.In the silence, only the wheels of the rickshaw creaked. Liu Junqing sat up straight, and with a wave of his hand, several rickshaws accelerated at the same time. Si Yong heard the sound of footsteps and wheels getting closer and closer behind her. Looking back, she saw several rickshaws surrounding her on the deserted street. Hurry up!" The driver pulling the cart not only didn't speed up, but stopped, he turned around and smiled: "I'm sorry, Miss Tao, I can't run anymore, let's take a rest." Si Yong saw that this man's big mouth was missing his front teeth, and he was actually the sixth child who wanted to marry Yizhen by force.Before Si Yong had time to be surprised, several rickshaws had already surrounded him from all sides.In the dark night, the cold light flickered, besides the ropes and sacks, several people had knives in their hands.Si Yong was stunned and screamed, "Help! Help!" A few people thought that the plan was foolproof, and were about to start, but the sound of horseshoes came from behind, and a carriage was speeding towards this side.The carriage belonged to Chairman Tao, and when he heard the call for help, he suddenly lifted the curtain and called out, "Si Yong!" He leaned over and grabbed the coachman's whip and whipped the horse vigorously.The carriage rushed forward crazily, and the thugs from the Santang Society who surrounded them were caught off guard and hurriedly dodged in fright. The carriage knocked over the rickshaw behind and rushed straight forward. "Si Yong, get in the car, get in the car!" President Tao whipped the thugs who were going forward to stop him, Si Yong took the opportunity to rush over, and President Tao pulled her into the carriage. Liu Junqing had recovered, and shouted at several of his subordinates to stop him, stop him!The sixth child in the front pushed a rickshaw and rushed up - the carriage knocked over the rickshaw with a "bang" and continued to rush forward, but President Tao, who was standing on the crossbeam of the car, was shaken by the car and fell down. car. "dad!" "Run, leave me alone, take the lady to run!" Amidst the yelling of the father and daughter, the coachman hurriedly urged the carriage to drive, and the carriage galloped away. The noise alarmed the residents on both sides of the street. Seeing someone running out yelling from a distance, Liu Junqing ordered his subordinates to stuff President Tao into a sack and retreat quickly. But they couldn't escape. Si Yong rode a carriage to the first division to find Mao Zedong and explained what happened just now.A sharp whistle sounded suddenly, piercing the tranquility of the campus. The student army who was resting immediately went into battle, armed with wooden guns, and under the leadership of Mao Zedong, they flocked to the street where the accident had just happened, but only saw the students who had been hit. The few rickshaws that were rickety. Si Yong burst into tears, and shouted to both ends of the alley: "Dad, Dad!" Mao Zedong comforted her and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, these guys can't run far. Listen, everyone, one company will follow me, and the other company will go over there, and the company will be divided into rows, rows and shifts, every street and every street. Lane, split up and go after them!" "Catch the robbers! Catch the robbers..." For a moment, shouts echoed from all sides broke the tranquility of the night. In the streets and alleys, many student troops chased after each other to find the robbers. Not far away by the river, Zipeng, who was having an awkward fight with Xiuxiu, was absent-mindedly practicing assassination with a wooden gun.The wooden spear slammed into the tree, but it went too far and slipped to the side.Zipeng gritted his teeth, staring at the white circle drawn with chalk in the middle of the tree trunk, and stabbing again, the gun pierced outside the circle again.He regained his composure, took aim, and stabbed again, but it still missed.木枪单调而执著地击刺着，作为目标的大树已经被刺掉了不少树皮，露出了斑斑白印，但却几乎没有一处落在粉笔画成的白圈里。眼前的大树仿佛成了某个可恶的仇人，子鹏越刺越快，越刺越猛，直刺得喘着粗气还在拼命地刺着。猛地，木枪刺了个空，子鹏一个踉跄，撞在树上，枪失手跌落，他颓然跌坐在树下，仰头靠在了树上。 “抓强盗啊！”学生军的呼喊隐隐传来。子鹏听见了喊声，站起身来，探出头打算看看发生了什么事情，却又吓得猛一缩头：他看到就在前面不远处，有几个人正抬着麻袋，朝这个方向跑来。 一个抬麻袋的人实在累得不行，突然失足摔倒，麻袋一沉，其他几人也东倒西歪。 “怎么回事，还不快点？”这分明就是刘俊卿的声音！ “二爷，不行……实在是抬不动了……” “抬不动也得抬！给我起来，都起来，快！” 在刘俊卿的吆喝声里，那几个人爬起来，拖着麻袋勉强向前走，渐渐地走近子鹏藏身的大树了。子鹏吓得紧紧靠在树身上，攥着木枪，紧张得牙齿都在不住地打战，全身上下，仿佛都僵硬了。打手们拖着麻袋，正从树旁经过，麻袋挣扎、扭动着，一阵阵绝望的闷哼正从里面传出。这绝望的声音让子鹏忘记了危险，他深深地吸了一口气，端着木枪突然跳了出去，拦在那群人前面！ 那一群人大吃一惊，扔掉麻袋，举起了雪亮的刀。但随即，他们就看出来了，拦在面前的，只有一个人。 “王子鹏？”刘俊卿眉头一皱，“你也敢管闲事了？给我滚开！” 子鹏喘着气，紧张得握枪的手都在不停地发抖，话也说不出来，只是使劲一摇头。 刘俊卿盯着那抖动不止的枪头，笑了：“还逞英雄？王少爷，你怕是裤子都快尿湿了吧？赶紧滚！不然我不客气了！” “跟他废什么话？宰了他！”老六挥刀冲了上来。 猛地，子鹏一声大吼：“杀！” 木枪一记标准的刺杀，干净有力，正中老六胸口，老六仰面朝天，摔出老远！ “快来人啊，强盗在这边！”这一枪准确的刺杀给了子鹏勇气，他终于声嘶力竭地大喊出来，而且一面呼救，一面挥舞木枪，与打手们拼命搏斗。 寂静的夜里，子鹏的声音传出老远，斯咏和所有的学生军都听到了，一起朝江边拥了过来。 势单力孤的子鹏终于抵挡不住，老六抢过木枪砸在子鹏头上，子鹏一头晕倒在地。四面，喊杀声、脚步声已然临近，打手们都慌了：“二爷，怎么办？” “还能怎么办？分头跑！跑出一个是一个！” 打手们四散狂奔，老六捡起一把刀，想杀子鹏以报刚才刺杀之仇。可当他对准子鹏，举起刀时，有一柄匕首却已经从他的后背直穿过前胸！他回头一看，发现暗算他的，竟是刘俊卿。刘俊卿贴在他耳边，面上带着笑，口气却是狠狠地：“还记得被你逼死的赵一贞吗？我到三堂会，等的就是今天。”他手一松转身飞快地跑了，身后，老六一头栽倒在地。 四面涌来的学生军围追堵截，一个个还没来得及跑掉的打手被当场生擒。解开麻袋，毛泽东和张昆弟扶起陶会长。斯咏一头扑进了父亲的怀里，陶会长反而拍着女儿的背安慰她不要哭，仿佛刚才装在麻袋里的是斯咏而不是自己。斯咏擦了一把眼泪，对父亲说：“爸，是……是润之他们救了您。” “陶伯伯，我们也是后来才到的。”毛泽东往旁边一让，指着蔡和森、萧三扶着的头上带伤的子鹏，“真正拼命救了您的，是这位王子鹏同学。” “子鹏？” “表哥？” “岳……”子鹏犹豫了一下，颇为艰难地叫了声，“岳父。” 所有的人都愣住了，所有的目光，一下子都投在了子鹏和斯咏的身上。斯咏的脸，一下子涨得通红，恨不得地上有条缝能马上钻进去。 Fives 因为涉嫌绑架和杀人，三会堂被查封了，三会堂的喽啰大都被警察抓住，只有马疤子和刘俊卿逃脱了，但各处交通要道都贴了通缉他们的告示。万般无奈，他们躲进塞满了鸡笼的船舱，打算逃离长沙。船到江心，马疤子和刘俊卿才战战兢兢地掀开笼盖，擦着满头满脸的鸡毛、鸡屎，探出头来透气，他们俩都穿着一身脏兮兮的破衣服，全没了往日的威风。 打量着自己的狼狈样子，马疤子一肚子闷气实在是无处发泄，狠狠踹了刘俊卿一脚：“我操你个外婆的！我怎么就信了你这混账东西？几十年的基业，就他妈毁在你手里！我、我恨不得掐死你！” “行了，老大别怨老二，我还不一样，陪着你逃命？”刘俊卿看起来倒不像马疤子那样沉不住气。 长叹了口气，马疤子悄悄向舱外探头，看到江水滔滔那一边，长沙城正渐渐远去，他恶狠狠地说：“长沙城啊长沙城，你等着，马爷我总有一天会回来的！”
