One evening in the late autumn of the third year of Xuantong, Yifu was threatened by his mother, Mrs. Li, and knelt in front of the statue of the mother who gave birth to the son, waiting to welcome the birth of his son.The sky was fine, and the bright light of the setting sun came in from the window, reflecting orange and red on the divine table, which made Yifu Bian feel unbearably tired.Kneeling on a soft and warm futon, watching the vivid sunshine while doing the boring work of praying for a child, a revolutionary cannot help getting tired.In order to cope with the bouts of drowsiness, Bian Yifu braced himself and tried hard to think about the revolution. He first thought about why the revolution conformed to nature and became the only axiom in the world today, and then thought about "expel the Tartars, restore China, and establish the Republic of China, Equalization of Land Rights" revolutionary platform.A revolution is not a dinner party, it needs to throw bombs at government offices.Thinking about it in this way, I remembered the bomb that I and my family member Mr. Wang Sanshun secretly tried and built, and felt that the fruit offerings in front of the statue of the Goddess of Songzi were all like bombs, which could explode if they were filled with twisters.Thinking brightly, I decided that using the incense sticks as a fuze would have the possibility of exploding the bomb with a timed bow, so I had the fantasy of escaping. I twisted and moved my body non-stop, trying to test the reaction of my mother, Mrs. Li.Mrs. Li responded in a timely and clear manner, turned her face away, and gave a demonstrative dry cough, which immediately extinguished the burning revolutionary fire in Yifu Bian's heart, and made Yifu Bian kneel down.In the third year of Xuantong, there was no difference between revolution and rebellion. In the eyes of his mother, Mr. Yifu Bian, a revolutionary, was just a little thief who was waiting for an opportunity to rebel. As a thief, Yifu Bian could only dispel his revolutionary will in boring prayers.Afterwards, the thoughts about the revolution gradually drifted away with the smoke from the incense candles, and Yifu Bian dozed off and had a short dream.In my dream, I saw a woman in a red cloak riding a red-maned horse into Peach Blossom Collection, and came to his house.I couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but what I could remember was the flashing red light in the dream.Yifu Bian was confused: What does it mean that the woman in red came to his house?Shouldn't it mean that he was destined to have no children?From this, it can be inferred that Mrs. Bian Yu still can't give birth to a son, still is.I got a reason not to kneel psychologically, hesitated for a while, wiped off the sticky saliva from the corner of my mouth when I was dozing off, said "I'm hungry", got up bravely, and walked to the second courtyard.

His mother, Mrs. Li, scolded Yifu Bian behind him, "Evil!", but Yifu Bian pretended not to hear him. It was already dark, and the twilight was deep, with a bit of chill and desolation in late autumn.The courtyard is quiet, and the sky above is also quiet. It is a good time for rebellion.Yifu Bian thought of using incense sticks to try to make a time bomb in time, and moved excitedly to the cellar in the backyard.Unexpectedly, just at this moment, a sound of horseshoes sounded faintly, getting louder and louder, and gradually came to the front of the door.This sudden change made Bian Yifu very nervous for a moment. Standing in front of the waist door leading to the backyard, he neither entered nor retreated. There was a bang, and a little cold sweat broke out on his body.It was obviously inappropriate to go to the cellar to make bombs, Yifu Bian hurriedly slipped to Mrs. Li's side and knelt down again.As soon as he knelt down and was still in shock, Wang Sanshun, a member of his family and an accomplice who conspired against him, had come to report that he wanted to see a visitor.Yifu Bian was still surrounded by the police officers and soldiers, jumping around, but he didn't want to see him. He turned his head with long braids to the side, and timidly told Wang Sanshun, "Just say I'm not here." Wang Sanshun bowed down. Yifu Bian whispered in Yifu Bian's ear, "Grandma Xiazheng from Peach Blossom Mountain is here." Yifu Bian's eyes lit up, he hurriedly got up and ran out the door, thinking while running, only then did the woman in red in his dream point to her. I'm afraid it's Aunt Xia!These thoughts are full of revolution, and they have been thinking about the uprising of Aunt Xia and the Revolutionary Party. Perhaps they have thought too much, and they have such annoying strange dreams as soon as they close their eyes.

Sure enough, it was Aunt Xia.Walking to the front of the moon gate in the yard, I heard Aunt Xia laughing in the yard, her laughter was crisp and ringing.Along with the laughter, there were also words, which were spoken to his daughter, the eldest lady, Bian Jixiang.Stepping into the Moon Gate, what was in front of my eyes was actually a fiery red. Looking closer, I saw Aunt Xia taking off the red satin cloak on her body and putting it on the horse's back.The horse is really a red-maned horse, with excellent coat color, as if covered with shiny red satin, I don't know where Aunt Xia snatched it from.Yifu Bian flicked up his blue satin robe, walked over quickly, pointed at Aunt Xia happily and called, "Good job, you female bandit, I just dreamed about you next night, and you came here!" The eldest lady imitated her grandmother Mrs. Li Said in a calm tone, "Yes, I'm here to seduce your soul." Yifu Bian shook the eldest lady's head angrily, and reprimanded, "What do you know about seduction?! Children are not allowed to intervene in adult affairs! Xuan then told Wang Sanshun, "Sanshun, quickly take the eldest lady away. Aunt Xia and I have many important revolutionary matters to discuss." Wang Sanshun took the eldest lady away, Xiagu leaned on the horse and smiled, "Brother Bian , you really dream about me next night? Is this in broad daylight?" Bian Yifu nodded, "Isn't that right! I still dream about your horse. It's a red-maned horse." Aunt Xia laughed again, "That horse is On the bed or on the floor?" Bian Yifu knew that Aunt Xia was teasing him, but he didn't tell the truth, scratching his shiny forehead, "I can't remember that. At one moment it seemed to be on the bed, and at another moment it seemed to be on the floor." Aunt Xia restrained her smile, "Seriously, Brother Bian, do you know?" Yifu Bian looked at Aunt Xia's handsome face, a little dazed, "Know what?" Aunt Xia blushed and suppressed With intense revolutionary feelings, he shouted, "Brother Bian, you really don't know? Wuchang... The Wuchang revolution has succeeded, and Wuchang has been restored!"

Bian Yifu was afraid Mrs. Li would hear and cause unnecessary trouble, so he grabbed Aunt Xia's hand, "Let's talk in detail in the room!" When we got to the room and closed the door, he hurriedly asked, " Xiamei, when did the Wuchang uprising take place? How is the situation now?” Aunt Xia tapped the edge of the table with her horsewhip, “According to the party members in the provincial capital, the Wuchang New Army uprising took place on the night of October 9th. The yamen was captured on the second day, and Hankou and Hanyang were recovered one after another. Now, Wuchang has been electrified and the Hubei military government of the Republic of China has been established, and Li Yuanhong, the commander of the new military association, has been promoted as the governor. Bian Yifu clapped his hands again and again, " well!In this way, the change of dynasty is today! "Aunt Xia continued," the party members in the province were all in motion.The militiamen from all walks of life are going to gather in the provincial capital. Liu Jianshi, the leader of the new military association in the provincial capital, is also persuaded by the party leader Huang Huzi to plan to use the banner of the Han military government after the uprising to echo Wuchang. "Bian Yifu said," yes, if the whole country responds, a revolutionary trend will be created! "Just ask, "Xiamei, what should we do here?"Do you also want to start an incident immediately and do a big job? "Aunt Xia raised her eyebrows, she was quite proud," Of course it's going to be a big fight!Huang Huzi, a member of the Shangdang Party in the province, asked me to join Tongshan Li Shuangyin and Bai Baihe to choose an opportunity to start an incident in Xinhong.Huang Huzi said that Xinhong is an important town in the south of the province, and the uprising is of great significance! "Yifu Bian is getting more and more happy." When is the date set? "Aunt Xia hesitated to speak, "I can't tell you yet. "Yifu Bian said," I guess it's been a few days. "Aunt Xia doesn't take this nonsense, she just keeps talking to herself," it's just that it's not easy for Xinhong to make trouble!The Qian Guandai of the Xinhong Patrol Battalion and Jiang Biaotong of the Green Battalion are not the provincial Liu Xietong, so they might have to fight a battle with them. It would take a few big bombs to attack Xinhong City. "Yifu Bian hurriedly said, "I remembered when you mentioned bombs, and I was planning to try to build a bomb that could time itself.Use incense sticks as a fuse... "Xia Gu interrupted Yifu Bian angrily," and mentioned your bomb!Mention it!So far, there has never been one.I don't even count on time bombs, besides, we don't need them now!I'm passing through Taohuaji this time, and I just want to take you into the mountains, and throw a bomb with open flames.Now pack up and follow me! "Yifu Bian didn't expect that Aunt Xia would invite him into the mountains to carry out an armed revolution, and felt that it happened too suddenly," Mei Xia, are you kidding me? "Aunt Xia said, "Who is in the mood to joke with you at a time like this?Auntie, I think highly of you, so I took you to join the revolution.

Yifu Bian saw that Aunt Xia didn't look like she was joking, so he didn't dare to be serious, but once he was serious, he immediately felt that he couldn't go.It's not that I don't want to go, but that I can't.Mrs. Bian Yu was giving birth, and his mother, Mrs. Li, was watching closely. As usual, Meng Lang couldn't do it anymore, so he looked at Aunt Xia with shame, and said dejectedly, "I'm afraid it won't work! Mrs. Yu these days If you want to give birth, my mother...my mother only told me to kneel and deliver the baby to my mother, and even...not even allowed me to go out of the gate..." Aunt Xia looked at Yifu Bian contemptuously, "It's your mother again, it's again! Was it tied to your skirt belt by your mother? Didn’t you have any claims? Didn’t your legs grow on your body?” Yifu Bian felt even more ashamed, sighed, and rubbed his hands together, “Sister Xia, what do you say… ...Do you think I can not go to the revolution? Not to mention you, a provocative female bandit, I want to go even without you. What? But the way the house looks like..." Aunt Xia became impatient, "Okay, okay, don't say anything, just let it go if you can't go, just pretend I didn't say anything." But Yifu Bian said, "I didn't say anything either. I won’t go, can the revolution miss me? I’ve read "Revolutionary Army" and I’ve read it for you brothers in the mountains! I want to wait until Mrs. Yu is born safely, and then where will I go? Where can I look for you?" Aunt Xia was quite optimistic, "Maybe the revolution will be successful by then, and your young master will go to Xinhong City to find my aunt and grandma for a drink!" Yifu Bian replied, "That's fine, that's fine. "Xia Gu said something else, and after finishing speaking, she wanted to leave without caring about making out with Yifu Bian.Yifu Bian was surprised, and hugged Xia Gu from behind, stroking Xia Gu's protruding chest with his hands.Aunt Xia hit Yifu Bian on the hand with the whip handle.Bian Yifu screamed and withdrew his hand.Aunt Xia pretended nothing happened, and went out to lead the red-maned horse in the yard.

Yifu Bian chased after him all the way to the courtyard, and asked Aunt Xia to sit for a while before talking.Aunt Xia turned her head, polished her broken jade-like teeth, and smiled at Yifu Bian, "I'm afraid you'll have to use your dick to say what you said? I'm busy with the important work of recovery now, so I don't have that much time to worry about it." !" Only then did Yifu Bian calm down, blushing, and without saying a word, sent Aunt Xia and her horse outside the gate.It was only when I went outside the gate that I saw a few brothers with guns and horses in the dark.There was a brother whose face seemed very familiar, and it was unclear whether he had seen it in Peach Blossom Mountain or somewhere else, so he nodded at the brother.The brother also nodded to Yifu Bian, and said, "Master Bian, I have to go to the mountains to play." At this time, Aunt Xia had already walked to the horse-mounting stone, and was about to mount the horse, when Yifu Bian went to help her. a handful.Aunt Xia turned her head and waved her horsewhip, "Brother Bian, go back, if your mother sees it, you'll have to scold me again." Yifu Bian smiled timidly, "Don't be afraid, I'm used to being scolded by her anyway." Aunt Xia got on her horse and left before Mounting Stone.Yifu Bian saw Aunt Xia, her red-maned horse, and the thousand brothers disappearing without a trace amidst the sound of hooves that were gradually going away, and then he heard the loud cry of his newborn son faintly coming from the yard behind him. .When I turned around and stepped into the gate of the courtyard, I saw my mother Mrs. Li standing at the gate again, and I couldn't help being surprised.

Mrs. Li stood beside the flower garden inside the gate like a statue, her two yellow eyes sunken deep in the sockets cast a gloomy light, which made Yifu Bian dare not look directly at her.Yifu Bian looked up at the sky, trying to slip past Mrs. Li in a calm and indifferent manner.Mrs. Li saw the cowardice and shame in the thief's heart, and when the thief came close, she moved her body and blocked the thief's way, "Congratulations, it's a boy." Yifu Bian smiled awkwardly at his mother Smiling, "No wonder you are crying so loudly." Mrs. Li sighed, "It's not easy. Your old Bian family has been passed down for three generations, and you are blessed by the gods." Yifu Bian said perfunctorily, "This time, mother My heart is at ease." Mrs. Li snorted and pointed out, "I'm afraid that this grandson will turn into a ghost under the sword someday!" Yifu Bian was stunned for a moment, and then called out, "Mother, you... What are you talking about?" Mrs. Li said, "I'm telling the truth, the whole family will be executed for treason!" Yifu Bian glanced at his mother and smiled, "Mother, did you hear that Aunt Xia What you said, didn’t you? Don’t worry, it’s not like now, Manchu’s energy is exhausted, and the Wuchang incident has been successful.” Mrs. Li looked at the star-studded night sky and said calmly, “Manchu’s I don’t know if my life is exhausted, but my mother has lived for many years, but I know about Changmao’s rebellion. Back then, Changmao also succeeded, and he set his capital in Jinling, and made so many kings! But the celestial dynasty today Where are they? Ah? Where are so many princes and generals? Ah? One Zeng Xiangguo beats them all to the bum. For a little thief like you, there is no need to bother Zeng Xiangguo. The patrol camp in the city is here I'll kill you with just a pipe belt!" After saying that, he also asked the thief himself for his opinion with ulterior motives, "Yifu, do you think so?" Yifu Bian was stimulated, his evil energy came up, and he raised his head.He continued to talk, "No! Mother, let me tell you, this is a revolution, it has won the hearts of the people, and the whole country responds! The Manchu court has enslaved our Han nationality for more than two hundred years. It is tolerable but unbearable! It is especially unbearable. This bird court loses power and humiliates the country externally, and oppresses the people internally. Its corruption is unspeakable! Mother, let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about the year of Gengzi. It burned, and forced our country to cede land and pay money. Our country has been weak for a long time, how can we have so much money? The people are so poor that they eat Guanyin soil. When will Xinhong not eat a lot of them? Therefore, there is no way to save the country and the people without revolution! Mrs. Li smacked her lips, looked up at the night sky, and said with emotion, "God, you are so eye-opening, let their old family have such a revolutionary little thief who wants to save the country and the people!" Yifu Bian, "Yifu, since you are so concerned about the country and the people, and have great ambitions, why don't you become Zeng Xiangguo for a while? Why do you always hang out with Taohuashan male and female robbers? You gang of thieves and robbers succeed in the revolution. Are you stronger? The common people don’t eat Guanyin soil anymore?” Yifu Bian said without thinking, “Of course!” Mrs. Li agreed with the thief’s view, and nodded, “It’s also possible that the common people don’t eat Guanyin soil anymore. Eat meat." Bian Yifu knew his mother's tactics well, and he was afraid of being caught by her, so he added, "Chinese people have more, and some horses may not be able to feed 400 million people for a while. But at least you can drink one or two bowls of broth.” Mrs. Li nodded again, “That is, human broth, let the common people eat human flesh and drink human broth! Not only have I heard of such a good thing, but also I saw it with my own eyes in the disaster year, and it made people eat each other."

Talking about revolution with such a reactionary and stubborn mother was a waste of time. Yifu Bian didn't want to talk any more. He looked up at the sky and counted the stars that covered the sky.Mrs. Li insisted on talking, trying to turn the thief's son into a good citizen of the Qing government. Her tone was less sarcasm, and more serious and concerned. It’s your rebellion! It’s fine that you were messing around with her in the past. I opened my eyes and closed my eyes, pretending I didn’t see it. I never thought that you guys are really going to rebel today! It’s true that one generation is better than another! Your short-lived Dad is just playing whoring and gambling, you are stronger than your father! Tell me, who else in your old Bian family is like a human being? Twenty-four years ago, your unsatisfactory father..." Yifu Bian Seeing Mrs. Li's bad intentions: the old man is going to make systematic accusations against the Bian family again, and he feels a little annoyed, so he stops counting the stars, waved his hand, and interrupted his mother impatiently, "Okay, Okay, mother, don't say it anymore, I have heard these things about Chen Gu rotten sesame seeds a hundred times!" Mrs. Li said sharply, "Even if you have heard it a hundred times, I still have to say it a hundred and one times. Bian Yifu saw that he couldn't do it hard, but he was soft again, and smiled all over his face, "Mother, I don't want you to say it, can you talk about what you old man said later? You have to let me be your father first. Come in and see your son, shall we?" Mrs. Li gave up temporarily and went to Bian Yu's room with Bian Yifu.

Both the mother and the child were fine, and the son who was later named Bian Jiguo was lying peacefully in Bian Yu's arms, like a lump of meat falling out of thin air, which made Yifu Bian feel both strange and ashamed.Bian Yifu bravely touched his son's fluffy face, frowned and said to Bian Yu, "Why is this child so ugly?" Bian Yu dared not make a sound, Mrs. Li The lady picked up the ballast from the side, "You were not as good as him when you were born..." Mrs. Li's will to accuse was firm, guarding the newly born man of the third generation of the Bian family, with teary eyes, and began It traces back the bad deeds of the first two generations of Bian's men.This trace always starts from that snowy night twenty-four years ago.That snowy night has been engraved in Mrs. Li's mind and can never be erased.Years of endless memories have continuously enriched the content of that snowy night, making Mrs. Li's narration of that snowy night different every time, but the basic facts are the same, that is: Yifu Bian His father, Bian Xingli, and Liu Guandai of the Xinhong Patrol Battalion were jealous of each other, and they fought over a woman called "Little Hongtao" in the "Boudoir Pavilion" in Xinhong City.Bian Xingli's legs were broken by Liu Guandai, and he froze to death in the snow.After Mrs. Li got the letter, she rushed to Xinhong City overnight, carried Bian Xingli's body to the magistrate's yamen, hugged Bian Yifu who was still breastfeeding, and after three years, she gave Liu Guandai a beheading decision. .This incident was a sensation at the time, and the troupe in the city even made up the play "Blue Sky Above", which was sung for several years.Yoshio Bian watched that play when he was a child.What I remember most clearly is that the female actress who played the role of mother on the stage did not look like her mother at all, and was much more beautiful than her mother.I still remember that many people acted as matchmakers for my mother at that time, and asked her to remarry, but my mother refused and took him as a widow to this day, supporting the Bian family by herself.Therefore, the mother ruffian has also obtained the absolute power to accuse the men of the Bian family today.On the night of Liqiu in the third year of Xuantong, Mrs. Li traced back the journey as usual, starting from the snowy night 24 years ago, scolding Yifu Bian's father, and then scolding Yifu Bian.In the end, Mrs. Li concluded with her red and wet eyes: it is because of her that the Bian family was not ruined in the hands of Bian Xingfeng and Bian Yifu, and they have such a peaceful and comfortable life today." Don't you think so, Yifu?" Mrs. Li finally asked.

Bian Yifu nodded with the shame of two generations of men, "Yes, yes, mother! Not only me, but all the young and old in the peach blossom collection know your merits!" Mrs. Li felt a little satisfied. , then sighed again and said, "Yifu, after so many years, I also think about it, and I don't expect you to go to school to get fame. Our own son knows that it is not that material at all! But I I’m not reconciled either. I’ve made up my mind, I’ll donate to you next year, and I’ll be worthy of your old Bian’s family.” Yifu Bian felt that his mother was ridiculous: he even built a bomb for the Revolutionary Party, and her old man returned it. Going to donate to him in the court of the Manchus!But he didn't dare to say it out of his mouth, for fear that if he said it, it would lead to the lesson of mother's tears.Mrs. Li was fooled, thinking that she had obtained the success of education, she pointed to Bian Yu and Bian Jiguo in Bian Yu's arms and said, "Yifu, it's good that you didn't go away with that female robber today, in the future You have to listen to what mother said, and watch over your wife and son to live a good life, and don’t be that revolutionary traitor who lives against you.” Yifu Bian nodded against his will, but felt a little remorseful in his heart, thinking that Cai had gone with Aunt Xia just now. Well, if he had known that his son would be born safely tonight, he would really have gone to the armed revolution with Aunt Xia.And if he left, he wouldn't have to pretend to please his mother now.No matter how hardworking and capable my mother is, she is still a woman and does not understand the general trend of the world.The Great Halal is unreliable!

Seventeen years later, Yifu Bian said what he was thinking in public, and he said it to the 120,000 officers and soldiers of the four divisions and two independent regiments standing upright under the sun and loyal to the Three People's Principles.Bian Yifu said: ... Great men all have far-sighted visions that are different from ordinary people.To give an example: When my brother joined the Revolution of 1911, he had such a far-sighted vision. He knew that the cannon fire at the top of Wuchang City meant a national revolution.But my mother couldn't see this. Her old man only saw the world in front of her eyes, thinking that the Qing Dynasty had laid an unshakable ten thousand-year stake.Wuchang has established a military government, and Li Huzi has become the governor of the military government, and my mother has to donate credit to the Qing court for my brother!This is a big mistake!If the brother had really followed his mother at that time, how could he still be today?But today, the general situation of the world has changed again, and the situation of warlord melee is about to end. If we do not accept the banner of the Three People's Principles of Commander-in-Chief Chiang, there will be no place for us in China in the future!All big men with brains have seen this point... 99 It is a pity that on that night in the autumn of the third year of Xuantong, Bian Yifu had not yet become a big shot, and he was an unreliable libertine in the eyes of his mother, Mrs. Li; In front of his wife, Bian Yushi, who is six years older than him, he is a sneaky and bad man; he doesn't even have the dignity of being a father in front of his two daughters; this makes him lose his confidence in his own greatness.After Mrs. Li left, for a while, Yifu Bian also doubted the revolutionary cause he had devoted himself to. There were always scenes of beheadings in front of him, and he often saw the grinning face of Chang selling opium and his money manager.It occurred to me that even if Wuchang was successful, the future of the revolution in the Xinhong area was still very bleak, and if things went wrong, this good-for-nothing revolution would turn into a bloody rebellion.If that was the case, he would have to withdraw from this revolution or rebellion as soon as possible, and there was no need to go to Xiagu and her uprising.After much deliberation, he was finally uncertain about the future development of the revolutionary situation, and he began to suffer.So, he first lay down on a recliner opposite Bian Yu's mother and son's bed and smoked opium, and then paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, making his forehead full of lawsuits.It wasn't until there was a light knock on the door that Bian Yifu, a family member and rebel accomplice, regained his spirits. Only then did he think of planning the future revolution with Wang Sanshun. Wang Sanshun and Bian Yifu are revolutionary comrades.Although one is the master and the other is the servant, the two grew up together and have similar auras, especially after a firewood basket was tied up by the robbers in Tongshan two years ago, their relationship became more severe. The head does not change.This guy Wang Sanshun only grows bones but not flesh, so his head looks surprisingly big; because of his big head, there is a lot of bad water.Bian Yifu was lured out of Bian Yu's room by Wang Sanshun's big head, and was about to tell Wang Sanshun about his pain and hesitation, when Wang Sanshun opened his mouth first, and asked Bian mysteriously with a big head Yifu, "Master Bian, Aunt Xia seems to be gone?" Yifu Bian hummed absently.Wang Sanshun was overjoyed, and put his long arms on Yifu Bian's thin shoulders, "That's good! Then we will have good things!" Yifu Bian pushed away Wang Sanshun's long arms, "What's the good thing? These days!" Wang Sanshun Leaning into Yifu Bian's ear, he said, "Hey, Lord Bian, there are really good things going on this year! There are two new nuns in the nunnery in Jibei. They are at most sixteen years old. They are so tender that they will drip when pinched! Let's tonight How about climbing back to the top of the wall?" Yifu Bian waved his hands again and again, "Forget it, forget it, you don't know how annoying I am!" Wang Sanshun said, "What's the annoyance? More than a dozen bombs were built, Mr. Bian! Just wait for the chaos to come and change the dynasty. When the time comes, you will be a high-ranking official and a horse! Master Bian, don’t forget about me if you send it out, I helped you conspire to make a bomb!" Bian Yi Husband immediately thought of what his mother said about rebellion and rebellion, and was very angry, "What chaos and change of dynasty together? What rebellion?! Who rebelled? This is revolution! National revolution! Do you understand? I told you to read the "Revolutionary Army" , have you read it?" Wang Sanshun lowered his head, and said shamelessly, "Master Bian, it's not like you don't know that I get sleepy when I read a book, and besides, I only know a few words? When I read with you, You just let me catch crickets. I don’t understand that book.” Bian Yifu said, “If you don’t understand, you can ask me! Did you ask? Did you ask?” Wang Sanshun was even more embarrassed, “What am I asking? Then The book made me tear up and wipe my ass." Yifu Bian shook his head angrily, "You are a rotten wood that cannot be carved!" Wang Sanshun said, "Master Bian, don't carve me anymore, let's go to the nunnery Climb the wall and play Xiaoni!" Yifu Bian said, "No! No! Don't you see how much I'm thinking! You saw Aunt Xia coming, and you knew the young master was born, and we There is going to be trouble in Xinhong City immediately, and you and I are going to climb the wall with the old man and play with Xiaoni, isn't that ignorant of current affairs!" Wang Sanshun raised his legs to leave, "Okay, Master Bian, you are busy, I will Go by yourself." Bian Yifu became seriously angry, "You are not allowed to go too! Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a time, today is the time to use you, go, go to the cellar with me to discuss important matters now!" Although Wang Sanshun was reluctant in his heart, he was Yifu Bian's servant and revolutionary comrade, and he had always believed in Yifu Bian, so he followed Yifu Bian to the secret base of their revolution - the cellar.In the cellar, guarding an oil lamp like a will-o'-the-wisp, Yifu Bian seemed to have unintentionally expressed his mother, Mrs. Li's pessimistic views on the revolution, and his hesitation about the current situation.After hearing this, Wang Sanshun said, "Master Bian, you can't listen to the old lady's words! She has never seen "Revolutionary Army", so how can she understand so many revolutionary principles? You are the only one who understands revolutionary principles. It's not me who praises you, others I don't know you, but I know you. You are definitely not someone to wait for! The reason why you are sitting here to be angry with the old lady is because there is no good time when the world is in chaos. Once the good time comes, Master Bian, you Straight to Qingyun! How did you say that? You and I said it? Oh, yes, good wind depends on strength, send you to Qingyun." Yifu Bian felt a little happy in his melancholy heart, "I don't Looking forward to rising to the top, I just want to seek justice for our great Han nation, make our country strong and the people happy, and at least stop eating Guanyin soil." Wang Sanshun responded enthusiastically, "Yes! This is the ambition of your lord. Ah! In fact, I’m afraid you’ve already thought about it in your heart. You don’t care about old ladies and gangsters! Even if the knife is on your neck, you still want to go to revolution. The good thing of revolution is just for you This kind of food is prepared for people who are full and have nothing to do. Master Bian, if you eat Guanyin soil and can’t poop all day long, you may not have a leisurely revolution, right?” Yifu Bian nodded, “That’s true. .” After pondering for a while, he added, “So, we want to represent them in the revolution.” Satisfied, Wang Sanshun put his arms around Yifu Bian’s shoulders, and said even more enthusiastically, “Master Bian, this is called Gao Shang. There are so many noble lords and lords like you in China, so I think there is great hope for our country.” Yifu Bian was moved in his heart. At the most difficult time of planning the revolution, among the more than ten people in the family, there was only one Wang Sanshun saw his nobility, saw that he was an unusual big man, and encouraged him to go to revolution.As soon as the blood in his heart became hot, Yifu Bian really thought he was some kind of noble person, "Then let's carry out the revolution to the end with all our heart, and go to participate in the Xinhong incident together!" Wang Sanshun nodded, "Then It's natural, Master Bian, wherever you go, I will naturally go with you!" However, Wang Sanshun was not thinking about the revolution that day. Seeing that the conversation was speculative, he suggested that Yifu Bian go to the nunnery to climb back the wall, saying that it was a rare opportunity.Bian Yifu was still solemn, insisting that as a revolutionary, he must not be so absurd on the eve of the revolution.Wang Sanshun tried to persuade him again, saying that revolutionaries are also human beings who also eat meat, and he also said that the two little nuns are so white and tender.Yifu Bian was moved by the talk, but he never mentioned the issue of the young nun's "tenderness and oldness", frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Could this new little nun be a spy from the government? "Wang Sanshun was startled, and then said, "Yes, yes, Master Bian, your guess makes sense, this little nun is probably a spy from the government! Master Bian, why didn't these two little bald men come earlier?" Don’t come late, because there is going to be chaos in the city, when we want to rebel? I’m afraid there will be articles!” Yifu Bian said solemnly, “Then let’s go and have a look, if those two little nuns dare to be the government’s spies Let’s get them down!” Wang Sanshun excitedly said, “Yes, fuck them! Master Bian, I won’t fight with you, you should pick first!” Think, I'm afraid it's not that simple!The little nun is not a whore in Xinhong City. Even if she succeeds in climbing the wall, it is not so easy to get started.What's more, there are two vicious old nuns in the nunnery. They climbed the wall last autumn and ate the old nuns' shoulder poles.However, it is interesting, even if you eat a pole, it is still interesting.Touching the little nun's tender breasts and listening to those shrill screams can really warm up the blood in one's body. This is comparable to going to Xinhong City to prostitute those stinky meats that are posted on their own initiative. Much more fun. Unexpectedly, that night was extremely unlucky.The little nun's tender breasts and soft flesh were not touched, and her shrill screams were not heard, and she almost caused a big trouble.When they reached the wall of the nunnery, Wang Sanshun supported Yifu Bian's buttocks and asked Yifu Bian to climb up the wall first.Bian Yifu was lying on the top of the wall and should have seen something, but because of his obsession, he didn't pay attention to anything, and jumped off the wall with a whimper.When I stood up against the wall, I realized that there were two horses' buttocks dangling impressively in front of the gable of the fasting room.Suddenly, I panicked, wanted to climb up the wall and escape back but couldn't, so I eagerly asked Wang Sanshun from outside the wall to jump over quickly, and shared his difficulties.Wang Sanshun didn't know that the wall was already dangerous, so he climbed up the wall with all his strength, and kept yelling, "Master Bian, don't shout, I'm coming, I'm coming." A few figures threw Yifu Bian down.Wang Sanshun, who had already poked half of his head out of the wall, saw that something was wrong, he didn't know if he wanted to betray his master, or he was too flustered and couldn't help himself, so he fell into the weeds outside the wall with a bang, and disappeared. trace.However, Yifu Bian was delusional, and was pinned to the ground by several big men, and screamed towards the outside of the wall, "San Shun, you, come here quickly..." A big man pressed a sharp knife to Yifu Bian. On his neck, Yifu Bian became honest and begged for forgiveness again and again. Sneaked into the fasting room and stood in front of the candle, Yifu Bian realized that it was a false alarm: the person sitting on the chair in the middle of the fasting room was none other than Aunt Xia!The people standing on both sides were all former robbers under Xia Gu's subordinates. Now the comrades of the militia, they laughed and said, "Sister Xia, I misunderstood, I misunderstood!" Xia Gu was different from usual, he smiled so sweetly, Xia Gu He didn't smile, looked at him indifferently, and asked with a tense face, "What's the misunderstanding? What do you want to do here in the middle of the night to climb the wall?" Yifu Bian opened his mouth, wanting to concern himself with the little nun? The official spies asked a question, but the words were swallowed again.Aunt Xia is not an ordinary person, so if she said this reason could not deceive her, it might make her suspicious.So he wanted to confess truthfully, betrayed his revolutionary comrade Wang Sanshun, and explained that he was instigated by Wang Sanshun to come here to climb the wall and play Xiaoni.This thought flashed for a moment, and I denied myself again, thinking that it was still not enough: I still wanted to fuck this female robber next night, but now I am going to climb the wall again, so I can't justify it, because I am not loyal to love.Seeing that Yifu Bian didn't say anything, Aunt Xia sneered, "Master Bian, are you trying to spoil my brothers and me's affairs?" "Yifu Bian didn't expect Aunt Xia to be so suspicious, and felt very wronged," Hey, sister Xia, my dear sister Xia, who are we with whom?It's not that you don't know me, I helped you make so many bombs, will it still ruin your business? "Aunt Xia snorted," it might be!Don't blame me for being suspicious of you, I have to be suspicious: I'll call you next night, but if you don't follow me, now you're climbing the wall again. "Bian Yifu heard Aunt Xia talk about the next night, and he thought of a good reason, "I was seen by my mother as unable to leave the next night, but you insisted on me leaving; now I am chasing you, but you Doubt me. "That's a smart word, Aunt Xia stretched out her tense handsome face, she stood up from her chair, walked up to Yifu Bian, and poked Yifu Bian's forehead affectionately with her fingers, "Good, Brother Bian!I thought you were timid, and dared not come to the revolution if the revolution was not successful.Unexpectedly, you came after me tonight!Alright, just because you have the guts, when something happens, we will entrust you to do it! "Yifu Bian's heart tightened," What's the big deal? "Aunt Xia said," it's not decided yet!Maybe I will send you to lead a death squad to attack the magistrate's yamen.Oh, sit down too, let's have a good discussion on the arrangement of the incident. Bian Yifu had no choice but to sit down on a bench, and bravely participated in the military liaison meeting before Xinhongju, and at this meeting he became the two commanders of the West Road People's Army, Tongshan Li Shuangyin And the wing of the river during the day.After Bian Yifu developed his fortune, this absurd incident of accidents and accidents also became an extremely brilliant stroke. When Bian Yifu later recalled this incident, he once said to his son Bian Jiguo: "...Did we go to mess with the little nun that night? Do I have that in mind? Don't listen to your uncle Sanshun's nonsense, I am sure I went to a meeting. It was very dangerous at that time. Whether the revolutionary fire lit in Wuchang could be ignited in the whole country was unknown to everyone. It was even more unclear whether the banner of righteousness here would be lifted to heaven or smashed to pieces. Not to mention others, even Li Yuanhong, the governor of the Hubei military government of the Republic of China, was dragged out from under the bed by the revolutionaries. Li Huzi said at the time, don’t harm me, don’t harm me...” The reason for saying this is It was a hot summer day in Xijiang Provincial Governor’s Mansion. Bian Yifu, who had become Xijiang’s military governor, lay shirtless on the cigarette couch and smoked big cigarettes. Soaking it as Hankou and Hanyang, my aunt’s foreign glass stockings turned into Hanshui with all her might, and her bong stretched across the Yangtze River. ，清朝政府就急了眼，起用了袁项城。袁项城就是袁世凯喽。袁世凯由彰德誓师南下，猛攻武汉三镇。汉口陷落，接下来，汉阳、武昌告急，这时，各国列强的兵船云集长江水面，表面上说是严守中立，炮口却直指武昌，实际上都心怀叵测哪。一些已宣告独立的地方，一看情况不妙，心里活动了，又想取消独立。这时，我们各地革命党人咋办呢？只一个办法嘛：那就是，不计后果，不计得失，加紧起事。在尼姑庵会上，霞姑奶奶就黑着脸说过，现在已经没有退路了，三天之后，不是我们把新洪知府毕洪恩的狗头挂到城头上去，就是把我们的脑袋挂上去……”四不管边义夫事后如何表白，霞姑都绝不相信边义夫半夜三更到尼姑庵来是为了追寻革命。边义夫不是这种人，也没这份胆。边义夫在对面的条凳上一坐下来，霞姑便瞅着边义夫的脸膛，揣摸起边义夫的真实意图来，有一刻把边义夫想得很坏，怀疑边义夫是官府的探子。那当儿，西二路民军的李二爷李双印正指着新洪城的四座城门，讲城中绿营和巡防营的布防，筹划起事之攻城的事。边义夫装模作样地听，眼风却一直往她脸上、身上飞。霞姑这才骤然想到，边义夫的到来似乎与自己多少有那么点关系：在边家大门口，她就看出来了，边义夫一直魂不守舍，那神情清楚得很，直到最后一刻仍希望她能留下来过夜，她未允他，他才又追到这里。这让霞姑多少有点动容，心道，这爱情颇有些真挚哩，瞅边义夫的眼光便温和了，且在李双印说完自己的主张后，让边义夫也说说。内心里是想让边义夫当着李双印、白天河这些当家弟兄的面，给她挣些脸面。边义夫颇感突然，可霞姑让说，却又不能不说，便问，“刚才李二爷说的是打城吧？”李双印说，“对，打那鸟城。边先生有啥高见？”边义夫笑道，“没啥高见。二爷已说得很地道了。只是兄弟以为，这城不到万不得已，是不必打的。若闹到打城那一步，事情就麻烦了。你们想呗，新洪城城墙城堡那么坚实，又架着铁炮，得死多少人呀？倘或久打不下，弟兄们的军心散了，岂不坏了大事？所以，兄弟以为，当务之急是去运动守城的钱管带，让他也像省城新军的刘协统一样，随咱一同举事。”李双印摆摆手，“这事早就想过了，不行！钱管带不会认我们为革命军，只会认我们是匪，他那巡防营剿了我们这么多年哩。”白天河也说，“边先生，李二爷说得对，咱只有打，做最坏的准备。”霞姑却执意要边义夫显出高明，“边哥，你说的有道理，且说下去：你鸡巴日的想咋着去运动钱管带？人家把咱看成匪，咱还咋去运动？”边义夫想都没想便脱口说，“钱管带把你们看成匪，却不会把我看成匪，前年我不是还被李二爷绑过一回么？你们看，我去运动运动如何？！”霞姑一怔，“你去？你就不怕钱管带把你杀了？”边义夫说，“钱管带就是不愿和咱们一起举事，也不至于就把我杀了。这人没做管带以前，和我一起玩过虫，还老卖烟土给我，和我有些交往。再者，眼下武昌那边又革命成功了，全国不少省也在闹独立，他必得想想天下大势嘛。”李双印、白天河仍不赞同运动钱管带。边义夫有些懈气，“霞妹，该说的我已说了，咋办你们各位定夺吧，我又不想争功。” 霞姑一时没了主张，便把目光投向了一直没怎么说话的革命党人任大全。任大全在斋房里踱起步来，踱到后来，桌子一拍，下了决心，对霞姑说，“我看，咱们就让边先生去运动运动钱管带！没准就能成事！”任大全的决心一下定，边义夫却又怕了：方才霞姑说的不错，万一钱管带不念旧的交情，和他母亲李太夫人一样把革命视作谋反，他真要送命的。这么一想，便立起来对任大全道，“任先生，既然李二爷、白四爷他们都不主张运动，我看就算了吧！”任大全说，“有希望总要争取嘛，武昌的黎元洪，省城的刘建时做着满清协统都革命，钱管带又如何会一条道走到黑呢？兄弟，你且辛苦一趟，做些努力吧！”边义夫用爱情的眼光深看了霞姑一眼，“我只听我霞妹的。”霞姑笑着站了起来，用一双软手按住边义夫的肩头，“边哥，你听我的，我呢，现在得听革命党的。你明就进城去运；动钱管带，不要说是我们山里弟兄让你去运动的，只说是省城革命党黄胡子和任先生让你去的。任先生回头可以给你一张革命党联络起事的帖子让你带着。”这一来，就把边义夫逼上了梁山，边义夫对运动钱管带的事再也推托不开了，只好应了下来。 霞姑因此很是高兴，看着被灯烛映红了脸膛的边义夫，有了恍然若梦的幸福感，认为自己真的有点喜欢上这浪荡子了。In fact, Yifu Bian should have had nothing to do with her at all.前年春上，是李双印的弟兄，而不是她手下的弟兄，把边义夫和王三顺背贴背一块绑了，一车推到了铜山山里。She went to Tongshan to discuss matters with Li Shuangyin, and then met Yifu Bian in the wooden cage where the ticket was locked.当时的情形，霞姑记得真切。是一个傍晚，山上的雾很大，她和李双印谈完了事，从山神庙里出来，听得有人在唱唱，是《青天在上》里的一段，怪好听的。她立住脚听了一会儿，问李双印，谁唱的？李双霞姑探身抓住边义夫的粗辫子，在手上把玩着说，你倒不如做强盗。边义夫道，行，就跟姑奶奶你去做强盗吧！印说，一个肉票，才绑来的。霞姑说，看看去。便由李双印引着到了大山洞的木栅笼前。边义夫立在笼里唱，旁边大脑袋的王三顺蹲坐在地上，拉着一把并不存在的胡琴，用嘴伴奏，二人全无忧愁的样子。李双印说，你们还乐呢，再过几天没人赎票，老子就撕你们。边义夫不唱了，对李双印说，二爷，你撕谁都别撕我，我值钱呢！我娘就我这么一个独养儿子，她咋着也会赎的。李双印说，那就好。转而对霞姑说，这人你知道是谁么？就是当年《青天在上》戏文里唱过的那个落难少爷。边义夫说，二爷，那戏文里唱的不是我，是我娘。李双印说，我知道是你娘，可也有你么！对证公堂那一出里，你娘抱着你，你又哭又闹，你娘便唱。霞姑动了恻隐之心，对李双印说，二哥，你；既知道人家边家孤儿寡母不容易，咋还绑人家？不伤天害理呀！李双印说，也不是专捡边少爷绑的，是那日回来的路上顺手绑的，当时也闹不清他是谁。霞姑说，现在闹清了，就放了吧，给我个面子。李双印很爽快，说了声行，立马让手下的人把边义夫和王三顺都放了。王三顺一出牢笼就跪下给霞姑磕头谢恩。边义夫不跪，愣愣盯着霞姑看，说，姑奶奶这么俊，也做强盗呀！李双印说，你小子活腻了？敢说霞姑奶奶是强盗！霞姑笑道，咱原本就是强盗，还怕人说么？后来又有一搭没一搭的说了些啥，现在已记不清了，只记得当晚由李双印作东，在山神庙里喝了一回酒，次日一早便带着边义夫和王三顺下山了。当时，她对边义夫并没特别的好感，只觉得这人挺白净，面孔也满讨人喜欢，如此而已。不曾想，到了铜山脚下，临分手，边义夫竞不想走了，要跟霞姑到桃花山去看风景。霞姑哭笑不得，骑在马上低头瞅着边义夫说，桃花山是有名的强盗窝，只有姑奶奶这种男女强盗，没啥风景好看哩。边义夫抱住霞姑的腿说，那我也去，就去看强盗。霞姑探身抓住边义夫的粗辫子，在手上把玩着说，你倒不如做强盗了。边义夫道，行，就跟姑奶奶你去做强盗吧！不料，边义夫进了桃花山不到半个月，李太夫人便由王三顺引着找到了山里，硬迫着边义夫离了山。Yifu Bian's bandit didn't work out, but only made a dewy marriage with her.嗣后，边义夫又到山里来过几次，她也到桃花集边家去过，只是双方都再不提做强盗的话了。 霞姑觉得边义夫是个人物，有时候让人捉摸不透。说这厮胆子小吧，碰到当紧当忙的关口上，他胆子偏就很大。你说他胆子大吧，他在自己母亲面前简直像个兔子。革命前夜，霞姑已预想到了反动顽固的边母李太夫人可能阻挠革命，临散前，又对边义夫交待说，“运动钱管带的事，你说做就得立马去做，别让你家老太太知道。”边义夫这时已悔青了肠子，昕到霞姑提到了老太太，又觉得抓住了一根救命稻草，“老太太只怕已经知道了，我跳墙时你们一抓我，王三顺就跑了，他准要去和老太太禀报的。王三顺这位同志滑头哩，是否真革命尚不可知，该厮一边假模假式做着我的革命同党，一边呢，又奉老太太的意思监视我，我拿他实是没有办法的。”霞姑有些不悦了，“这话你别说了，运动钱管带这事不是我提的，却是你提的，你现在不能推了。”边义夫脸一红，“谁推了？霞妹，你想想，我要是怕死，想推，还主动提它干啥？你霞妹说，我老边是怕死的人么？！”霞姑拍了拍边义夫的肩头，“你不是。我知道的，你明日去钱管带那里运动，我呢，就等着你的好消息了。”边义夫沉吟了一下，硬着头皮说，“好吧，你们就等我的好消息吧！” 蒙咙醒来，大太阳已当顶照着了，一缕剑也似的白光直射到炕沿上。There was dust flying in the light, and there was a baby crying in the west room across from the main room, which made Yifu Bian vigilant.边义夫想到了边郁氏和新得的儿子。又想到了要到城里去运动钱管带，才下了很大的决心，把眼睁定了。I opened my eyes and still didn't think about it, I just stared at the beam in a daze.这时，王三顺在外面敲起了窗子，一声声唤着，“边爷！边爷！”边义夫支起脑袋一看，正见着王三顺现在窗外的扁脸，那脸上满是讨好的笑。边义夫及时记起了这厮昨夜的不忠，昨夜若不是误会，若是真碰上了官厅的探子，他岂不完了？便想狠狠骂王三顺一通，让这厮长长记性。终于没敢，怕嚷起来，昨夜的事被母亲李太夫人知道，引来极不必要的麻烦。边义夫只朝窗外的王三顺瞪了一眼，就穿衣起来了。王三顺偏在窗外表功，“边爷，昨夜真急死我了，我还以为你被官府拿去了再也回不来了呢！我都想好了，你要天亮还不回来，我就得去向老太太坦白交代了。”边义夫心里更气，操起身边的一件袍子，往窗台上一抽，“你狗东西还有脸说？滚，快滚！”王三顺身子向后闪了闪，并不向远处滚，“看看，急眼了吧？昨夜的事能怪我么？我又不知道墙那边有人，再说了，要是我先爬过去，边爷你咋办呀？谁托你上墙呀？”王三顺的声音越来越大，此等丑陋埋汰的事情随时都有可能败露，边义夫真着急了，趿着鞋要往院里去。Walking to the main room, Mrs. Bian Yu in the west room saw it through the half-open door, and called Yifu Bian to come over and look after the child.边义夫硬着头皮过去看了看自己的儿子，强笑着夸奖了句，“咱这孩子也不算太难看的。”夸罢就走了。 到院里和王三顺一照面，边义夫脸上的笑收起了，唬着面孔对王三顺道：“王三顺，我警告你：昨夜的事你别再提！再提我就煸你！昨夜我要抬举你，你狗东西偏就不识抬举！偏就！”王三顷有些摸不着头脑，“边爷，你咋抬举我？这是哪扯哪呀？”边义夫信口胡说道，“哪扯哪？昨夜民军的三个司令都来了，知道不知道？三个司令都是孙文先生亲自指派来的！孙文是谁呢？就是孙中山先生！革命党最大的头目，朝廷的头号钦犯！就像当年天朝的洪秀全！我原想在革命党那里保你个第二路标统，你倒好，偏就跑了！”王三顺那当儿就有非凡的官瘾，一下子认真了，伸着一颗大头问，“边爷，你真要保我个标统啊？”边义夫说，“我和孙文是啥关系？和革命党是啥关系？保你个标统还不是一句话么！”王三顺悔了，脚一跺，“嘿，边爷，事先你咋瞒着我？我要早知道底细，也就不跑了！别说标统，就是棚长、哨官也成哪！”边义夫悻悻道，“我就想试试你这人靠得住还是靠不住！没想到，你靠不住，没有革命信仰！我在墙里面那么喊你，你还是跑了。” After all, Yifu Bian ignored Wang Sanshun and left Wang Sanshun alone to regret.自己去洗了脸，吃了饭，估摸着王三顺后悔得差不多了，才剔着牙迈着方步，到了牲口房里，找到正喂牲口的王三顺，把革命党人任大全给他的联络起事的帖子递给了王三顺，对王三顺说，再考验他一回，要他代表革命党去运动新洪城里的钱管带。王顷不想自己一人去冒险，怯怯地看着边义夫，“只我一人去，你边爷去不去呀？”边义夫仍在剔牙，把剔出的一块什么东西“呸”的一声吐了出来，“这次我就不去了，我有更要紧的大事要做，革命前夜嘛，大家事情都很多哩，我呀，孙文呀，省上的黄胡子呀，霞姑妍奶呀，一个个都忙得要死。”王三顺苦着脸，“你边爷不去好么？就不能把手上的事先放放？”边义夫脸色严峻，“我不能去，就是没事也不能去，我一去就暴露了，革命这种事最怕一个暴露，懂不懂？”王三顺不懂，说，“爷呀，我去只怕不行哩，钱管带不会信我的，他只当我是小毛虫。”边义夫纵恿说，“会信的，我看会信的！过去我找钱管带玩虫、买大烟土不都带着你么？钱管带认识你，还老在我面前夸你机灵哩！”王三顺根本没有自信，“起事造反，武装革命，多大的事呀，我这做下人的去说，人家钱管带只怕不会当真。边爷，我看你就让孙文和霞姑奶奶他们先忙着，您那，还是得和我一起去才好。”边义夫想想也是，王三顺终是下人，钱管带恐怕真不会拿王三顺的话当回事。这才死了让王三顺替他革命的那份心思，对王三顺道，“好，好，就我们两人一起去吧！事不宜迟，咱们现在就走。” 在二进院子的月亮门口，迎面碰上了李太夫人。Mrs. Li is directing an old woman to catch chickens in the second courtyard.大小姐和，姐很卖力地参与着对那只老母鸡的堵截。The two ladies kicked over the flower pots, knocked over the flower stands, and are making a mess in the yard.李太夫人很生气，立在月亮门门口，先骂大小姐、二小姐，后就骂那无用的老妈子。见到边义夫和王三顺过来，李太夫人不管她们了，警惕地盯着边义夫和王三顺问，“你们这又是要去哪？啊？咋就这么忙呀？”王三顺冲着李太夫人讨好地笑着，嘴一张就是一个谎，“也不算忙！不算！这个……一这个边爷说，说好不容易得了个少爷，要到城里给往的师爷报个喜……”下面的话不好编了，转脸问边义夫，“是哪个师爷来？”边义夫怯怯地瞥了母亲一眼，继续编了下去，“是钱粮巷的赵师爷，我娘知道。”李太夫人有了点满意，看着边义夫点点头，“那就快去快回吧！路上当心，别惹事，如今闹革命党，世面太乱，别又被谁绑去！”边义夫和王三顺应着，兔子似的窜过了月亮门，去牵马。李太夫人又是一声断喝，“回来！”边义夫不知哪里又出了毛病，在牲口棚转过了身。李太夫人说，“义夫，我可再给你说一声，你进城要敢和作死的革命党私通，我就不认你这个儿子！”边义夫点头应道，“是，是，娘，我知道，知道哩。”见王三顺去牵马，李太夫人吩咐说，“别骑马，骑驴去，驴稳当！”边义夫无奈，只好按母亲的意思骑驴去，驴确是比马要稳当许多。 骑驴上路时，正是大中午。天色尚好，秋的太阳很温和地挂在湛蓝的天上，天上有朵朵白如棉絮的云头。只是，刚上路就起了风。The wind blew the clouds, and the official road leading to Xinhong was full of yellow leaves and dust.边义夫骑在自家的黑毛驴上，眯眼看着天，很感慨地拍了拍王三顺的大头，“革命就是这样风起云涌的呀！”王三顺牵着驴走在官道正中，也抬头看着天，“真的呢，边爷，真就风起云涌哩。”边义夫又说，“只是，天有不测之风云，倘或这革命不成功，便就是谋反作乱了，那可真要杀头的，三顺，你怕也不怕呀？”王三顺只顾看天上的“风起云涌”，没注意脚下，被路道上的石头一绊，差点儿摔倒，踉跄着站稳后，才说，“你当爷的都不怕，我王三顺怕个球！”边义夫矜持地点点头，“嗯，这很好，很好啊！我觉得咱这革命会成功的，就算有些挫折，也会成功。退一万步说，它就不成功，官府也杀不了咱的头，咱不等它来杀，就先上桃花山做强盗去了。你说是不是？”王三顺道，“那是，谁那么痴，会等官府来杀头呀？”想了想，又问，“边爷，要是咱这革命革成了功，你估摸你能发达到啥地步？”边义夫端着下巴，沉思着，“真成了事，我看咱就发大了，我觉得凭我这份才能，好歹又是个秀才，总能放个正七品的知县吧。三顺，你说呢？”王三顺吹捧说，“我看边爷你能做统制！你要做了统制，就保我个管带吧？”边义夫手直摆，“你胡说，你胡说。我这人带兵是不行的，什么千总、把总，统制、协统都不是我能做的，只那县太爷才是我能做的。我做了县太爷，就让你这厮做个衙役头咋样？腰里别着铁绳专门锁人，威风哩！”王三顺大头直摇，“不干，不干，我才不做衙役头呢！我一定要去带兵。”边义夫说，“我都不能带兵，你还能带兵呀，笑话！” At that time, Yifu Bian's ambition was only a little bit big.不说没想过要当割据一方的督军、督办、联军总司令，闹腾得大半个中华民国沸沸扬扬，甚至没想过会去带兵，最大的希望也只不过想放个知县，这就让王三顺笑话了他整十年。民国十一年直奉战争爆发前夕，在省城督军府，边义夫为了对邻省亲奉的赵督军用兵，在直系军阀吴佩孚的支持下，把自己的八万兵马组建成讨贼联军，自任总司令兼第一军军长。在战前的军事会议上，边义夫让和他一起参加过宣统三年光复革命的弟兄站出来。有七个人站了出来。其中一个就是王三顺。王三顺时任讨贼联军第一军中将副军长兼第三师师长。边义夫拍着王三顺的肩头说，“三顺，你这厮也中将阶级了，当时可没想到吧？”王三顺说，“谁有前后眼呀？你边爷当时不也没想刭么？那咱到新洪城里去运动钱管带，你还说过你不能带兵呢，最多只能放个正七品的县知事。”众将领都笑。边义夫被笑恼了，桌子一拍说，“不错，老子当时确是没想过去带兵，更没想过要把买卖盘得这么大。然他娘的而，英雄造时势，时势也造英雄，老子我就是时势造出的英雄！你们不服不行！我告诉你们，你们要记住：从今以后，谁不服老子谁就给老子滚蛋！你就是资格再老，就算是皇亲国戚也给老子滚蛋！”王三顺从此老实了，嗣后，再不敢提这话头，只更努力地去敬仰边义夫，一直到和北伐的国民革命军决战失败，身负重伤奄奄一息时，还对边义夫说，“边爷，你别哭我！就算我死了也别哭我！我他娘的这辈子跟着你，值！你别怨我又提那回，那回咱去运动钱管带，若不是老天爷保佑，咱……咱早送命了……” 许多年过去之后，王三顺仍不能忘记起事前新洪城里的一派肃杀恐怖的气氛。那日，他和边义夫是从老北门进的城，在回龙桥上就看见，把守城门的巡防营兵勇不少，对进城出城的可疑者都搜身抄检。城门楼上赫然挂着革命党的首级，记不得是三个还是五个。首级是装在木栅笼里的，都风干了，仍未取下。木栅笼下有一排告示，书着被斩者的罪状。到了城里。在皇恩街上又见得成龙结队的官府衙役用铁绳锁着一串串人犯往大狱里押。四下的街巷里巡防营的官兵随处可见，时而还可看到奋蹄驰过的马队。这景象生动真实，王三顺便椟了下了皂凰街一钻讲，巷蟹佰试樱著问沩艾去“访谷你看这阵势，咱还真去运动钱管带呀？”边义夫心里也发毛，脸面上仍极力隐忍，“当然要去运动的，咱们为啥来的呀？”王三顺俯到边义夫的耳旁提醒道，“人家现在正满城抓革命党，咱这不是往人家刀上撞么？”边义夫不作声了。王三顺又说，“边爷，你想呀，倘或你是钱管带，你会放着安稳的子不过，去和挨杀头的革命党私通么？要是我我就不干！”边义夫心里没了底，“叫你这么一讲，我也拿不准主意了。”王三顺说，“边爷，主意好拿着呢！咱早回家就是！也别说咱没运动，只说运动了，人家钱管带不愿跟咱干革命。”边义夫想了想，“形势如此的
