Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Six

History is always gray.No, sometimes it's also black. In the history of discoloration, sad things can always be dug out. Grandmother Bai Ni is like an ancient narrator. Sitting under the thin winter sun, she opened her mouth that had been silent for nearly half a century, and narrated the unbearable years.What kind of time was that? Although Deng Chaolu had heard about that absurd and cruel time for a long time, but when the white-haired grandmother narrated it, that time was immediately different from what she felt. "Inhumane." Grandmother Bai Ni said. "My poor daughter," said the grandmother again.

Deng Chaolu shed tears first, then bleed, and in the end, nothing came out. The north wind howled, and the earth was cold.Grandma shook off the snowflakes all over the ground, shaking out the desolation of the ground. What really separated Lu Bo and Cheng Xueyi that year was not the movement, nor could it be blamed on the rebels, but Cheng Xueyi's beauty. Beauty can destroy people, especially a woman who can sing and dance well. Just when Cheng Xueyi's name gradually became louder along with her dancing and singing, a pair of eyes fell on her.What's even more shameful is that these eyes were not fixed on Xue Yi at first, but on his mother Bai Ni!

"He's a beast, no, he's worse than a beast!" Grandmother Bai Ni said through gritted teeth. This person was Ma Yongqian, then director of the Longshan County Revolutionary Committee. It was Ma Yongqian's love for Bai Ni's mother and daughter that year that led to the tragic lives of Cheng Nanyan and Lu Bo. "He is using the hand of the movement. I know I can't escape. In order to protect my daughter, I... I can only..." Grandmother Bai Ni couldn't continue speaking with a choked voice. Deng Chaolu's heart was full of dark waves. If her grandmother hadn't told such a history, she would not believe it even if she was beaten to death.

"But, that's it, I can't protect her, I can't!" Grandma wiped her tears resentfully, and she directed her resentment on herself. On Deng Chaolu's side, she didn't dare to listen anymore, for fear that her grandmother would stop talking. Tell even more absurd things. But so what, what should have happened happened in that era.Ma Yongqian got his hands on Bai Ni, this female teacher from Shanghai, she was so different from the women in Longshan, it almost took his soul out, he dreamed of possessing her.He used his power and this great movement to defeat Cheng Nanyan.But another painful thing haunted Ma Yongqian again. After he got Bai Ni, his eyes suddenly noticed Bai Ni's youthful and beautiful daughter. That was a delicious dish, tsk tsk.If you hold it in your arms, or press it on the bed, it will be so ecstatic and beneficial!Just when Ma Yongqian was thinking about how to take everything from mother to daughter, Chen Huaifa, a worker of the well-drilling team and later the leader of the rebel faction, approached him and informed him. Nanyan's family is affectionate. The words "Love and affection" stimulated Ma Yongqian, Ma Yongqian hardly hesitated, and decided how to deal with Lu Bo, if he didn't get rid of this person, he would not be able to eat the tender vegetables.So Lu Bo was quickly caught by the rebels. One of the charges was protecting the emperor and protecting the reactionary academic authority Wang Zhiyi.

After Lu Bo was dispatched to the Longfengxia Reservoir, Ma Yongqian stepped up his actions, and Cheng Xueyi's disaster came.Mother Bai Ni saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about it.Finally one day, Ma Yongqian brought a few people to her home, first gave a big talk about the revolutionary situation, and then warned them to draw a line with Cheng Nanyan and Lu Bo.Bai Ni was afraid. At dusk that day, she called her daughter to her and said, "There is only one person who can help you now. You can go to Secretary Liu Zhenshan. If he can't help you or us, we can only resign ourselves to fate." gone."

How could Xue Yi not understand her mother's words, she knew better than anyone else what kind of situation she was in.Those thieves' eyes circled her all day long, and whenever they had the opportunity, those big dirty hands reached out to her.Cheng Xueyi thought of committing suicide, and wanted to use this extremely high method to defend her innocence.But her sweetheart, Lu Bo, was at the reservoir, so she couldn't bear to leave, so she decided to go to the then secretary of the county party committee, Liu Zhenshan. Liu Zhenshan has heard about what Ma Yongqian did, and Liu Zhenshan is even more heartbroken about what happened to Bai Ni's family.But in such an age, what can he do? Perhaps, the only thing he can do is to boldly help her and Lu Bo, and use this method to make Ma Yongqian give up.After Cheng Xueyi cried and told him about her situation and all kinds of threats from Ma Yongqian, Liu Zhenshan pondered for a long time and said, "Well, I will find a way for you to meet Lu Bo. When the time comes, you will know what to do."

On a dark night, Lu Bo was escorted back from the reservoir by a group of rebels in the county seat, and locked him in a secret cowshed in the county seat.The reason Liu Zhenshan gave was that a royalist like Lu Bo cannot be allowed to stay in the reservoir for a long time, and must accept more criticism.At eleven o'clock that night, Liu Zhenshan sent away the guards and waved from a distance, Cheng Xueyi floated into the cowshed like a ghost. Cheng Xueyi, who has always been reserved and never even had a first kiss, said the first thing she said when she saw Lu Bo: "I'll give it to you, I'll give it all to you, and if I give it to you, others won't be wicked."

Lu Bo was taken aback.He didn't expect to see his sweetheart here, let alone seeing him for a few months. His sweetheart was tortured like this, hugging Xueyi tightly, choking and tormenting, but he didn't know what to do after hugging her. "Give me a child. I want to give you a child. Even if I give birth, I will die!" That night, Cheng Xueyi bit Lu Bo's shoulder so tightly that he was about to bleed before letting go. So they had a full night. This night gave birth to a new life. Bai Ni said that after Xueyi became pregnant, Ma Yongqian became angry with embarrassment, knowing that Liu Zhenshan was behind the scenes, on the one hand, he intensified the persecution of their mother and daughter, on the other hand, he began to plan how to make Liu Zhenshan completely withdraw from the stage of history, how to move this stinky stone Lose.

Bai Ni was quickly branded as a counter-revolutionary, and the crime had nothing to do with her identity. It was said that she chanted a spell every morning and viciously attacked the great leader.Those who framed her did not know that Bai Ni had already believed in Christ, and reading the Bible became her only strength to survive in those suffering years.But that was an era of reading the "Red Little Book", and poisonous weeds like the "Bible" had long been classified as separate volumes. Soon after, Cheng Nanyan and Bai Ni were dispatched to Jiabiangou, a place not too far from Gushui, all the way to the west, in the desolate desert, a place where they could not get out alive.Ma Yongqian vowed to send the family to hell.On the day Cheng Nanyan and Bai Ni left, Cheng Xueyi was loaded into another car, escorted by the rebels, and drove to Tanshanling.

I would like to thank the landlord Wudou.If it weren't for the landlord Wudou that year, Lu Bo would not have survived, and would have been tortured to death by Ma Yongqian.Ma Yongqian repeatedly hinted at the half-blind man, and kept Lu Bo under strict supervision, and reported to him immediately if he found trouble.The half-blind man found a lot of trouble, and before reporting it, the landlord Wu Dou stood up and said that he did it.Many strange incidents on the construction site that year had nothing to do with Wu Dou, but in the end they all had something to do with Wu Dou.Wu Dou suffered more than five times as much as Lu Bo that year.

Wu Dou saved not only Lu Bo, but also Cheng Xueyi.Cheng Xueyi's belly grew bigger day by day, and every time Ma Yongqian heard such news, his teeth chattered with hatred, he clenched his fists tightly and let go, then he clenched again, and finally, he slammed hard on the wall.He scolded the half-blind man, Chen Huaifa, Liu Zhenshan, and everyone who pushed Cheng Xueyi into Lu Bo's arms.The tender meat he had been dreaming about in his dreams actually let Lu Bo taste it first, and he was pregnant with counter-revolutionary seeds.Ma Yongqian originally thought that after sending Cheng Xueyi to Tanshanling, let his subordinates torture her in different ways, remove the evil seeds in her stomach, and then find a chance to get her by his side, this greedy stunner, how about It's really not reconciled to sleep.Unexpectedly, when Cheng Xueyi arrived at Tanshanling, he suddenly couldn't help him. Although he had long arms, his superiors didn't let him interfere in the affairs there. What's even more annoying, Liu Zhenshan didn't let Cheng Xueyi accept it with others through his relationship. Instead of reforming through labor, she was transferred to a nearby village where herdsmen lived, where she was reformed by herdsmen. It's protecting her.Liu Zhenshan's "sinister" intentions were seen through by Ma Yong at a glance, but he had no choice but to help him that year. He didn't have enough strength to bring down Liu Zhenshan. , set off a vigorous reservoir battle.Ma Yongqian's energy is really out of consideration.When the big battle of another reservoir called Liutiaohe started, the news of Cheng Xueyi was no longer heard here.Ma Yongqian was anxious and annoyed, and sent people to inquire, but Cheng Xueyi seemed to have been wiped out, and there was no news at all. It was a scene played by Liu Zhenshan and the landlord Wudou.When Liu Zhenshan learned that the landlord Wudou's younger sister happened to marry into a pastoral area, he had a plan.When Ma Yongqian was giving orders at the Liutiaohe Reservoir to show off his prestige, Liu Zhenshan went to Tanshan Mountain, cleared up many links, and quietly sent Cheng Xueyi to sister Wudou's house.This is an extremely risky move, once someone exposes it, not only Wudou's family will suffer, even Liu Zhenshan may also close the cowshed.But Liu Zhenshan just wanted to do this, without any reason, he couldn't helplessly watch a beautiful woman be destroyed.Coupled with the support of Deng Jiaying's father, Deng Yuansen, Liu Zhenshan has no complaints or regrets. Cheng Xueyi gave birth as scheduled, and it was the landlord Wudou's wife who delivered her. Deng Yuansen sent Wudou's wife there, and it was absolutely safe for the landlord's wife to deliver the baby.When the news came, Lu Bo was so shocked that he couldn't believe it. He didn't close his eyes all night, and got up early the next day to go to the river.It has just rained, and the ground dyed by the morning sun is clear. The green grass on both sides of the river is covered with crystal dewdrops. As soon as I stretched my feet, the grass is fluttering, and the translucent dewdrops are falling down. Lu Bo was so shocked that he did not dare to lift his foot.At that moment, Lu Bo had his daughter's name in mind: Luzhu. The story is still perfect so far. Although there are so many ups and downs, what are these ups and downs and sufferings compared to the birth of a new life?Unfortunately, the ordeal was not over.Just when the child was about to be full moon, a bigger storm came. Something happened to Liu Zhenshan! The reason was for Lubo's parents.Lu Bo's parents were sent to Liushutun at that time, which was also a place where rabbits didn't shit.Liu Zhenshan wholeheartedly wanted to take them to the reservoir construction site and undergo labor reform under his nose.Finally, there was a chance that Liushutun would relocate a group of capitalist roaders to make room for a group of rightists from Shanghai to undergo reform.Liu Zhenshan seized this opportunity and sent someone to pick him up overnight.Unexpectedly, the car overturned on the way back, and all twelve people including Lu Bo's parents were killed, including two basic militiamen.Ma Yongqian was overjoyed, God paid off, finally let him catch Liu Zhenshan, jumped up and down, charged Liu Zhenshan with many crimes, it would be very difficult for the higher authorities to protect Liu Zhenshan. As soon as Liu Zhenshan capsized, Ma Yongqian quickly sent people to Tanshanling, dug cellars and searched all over the villages in Tanshanling, and finally found Cheng Xueyi at sister Wudou's neighbor's house.At this time, Cheng Xueyi had long lost the charm and magnificence she once had on stage, and had completely become a village woman.This was Wu Dou's younger sister's idea, as soon as a woman flirts, the man bites her like a mosquito. "Cut your hair, change your clothes, and wear mine!" After a year, Cheng Xueyi was no longer the Cheng Xueyi in the county, nor was she Mu Guiying and the white lady in the play, she became gray-headed. A gray-faced country woman, a woman with freckles and scabs on her body.Unexpectedly, Ma Yongqian would not let him go, and at the order, Cheng Xueyi was thrown into the car.Since then, her days of hell on earth began. Regarding Cheng Xueyi's death, Bai Ni couldn't tell.At that time, she couldn't contact her daughter. She was so hungry that she didn't even have the strength to sleep. How could she have the strength to think about her daughter?Besides, what can I do if I think about it, the sky is dark and the night is vast, and the words to Yue'er are bleak.By the time Lu Bo took her back to Gushui after going through all sorts of hardships and dangers, after a near-death experience, her daughter had long since disappeared.The fragrance disappeared and the jade died, turned into green smoke, and left her. Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, they all illustrate the fact that Cheng Xueyi is no longer here, and has left.Bai Ni dug two empty graves at the foot of the mountain in the north of the county seat, one for her husband Cheng Nanyan, and one for her unlucky daughter. Afterwards, Bai Ni began a long search. Bai Ni firmly believed that God would not wipe out her family. The child born in the turbulent and nightmarish era, her precious granddaughter Luzhu, would definitely live well in this world. Bai Ni's guess was right, Dew really survived.After Cheng Xueyi was taken away from the pastoral area, sister Wudou was also implicated. One night, sister Wudou rushed over several mountain ridges with the child before the workers' propaganda team and rebel organizations arrested her, and arrived at her mother's house before dawn. When Deng Jiashan entered Deng Yuansen's house, sister Wudou knelt down with a plop.Deng Yuansen's wife was terrified, and when she realized that sister Wudou was for the child in her arms, she regained her composure, pulled up sister Wudou, took the child from her arms and said, "Don't worry, I'll treat it as a baby I just picked up." , to see who dares to snatch it from me!" In this way, Luzhu became a member of Dengjiashan. When the Liutiao River Dam closed, Deng Yuansen had the misfortune to learn Wudou and was swept away by the wild river.After the Great War was completely over, Deng Jiaying's mother died of illness. Poor Luzhu changed her name to Deng Jiaying's mother. Luzhu was four years old that year. What Deng Zhaolu lamented was not history. History is a page, and you can turn it over as soon as you turn it over. No matter how many knots you have in your heart, you can't sink into the sins of history. People are drowned by history.After unraveling the mystery of her life experience, Deng Chaolu suddenly became open-minded, and her heart became smoother. She vowed that she would never be pessimistic, sigh, shake her head, or entangle. Otherwise, she will be sorry to everyone! She told her grandmother Bai Ni like this. Bai Ni smiled gratifiedly. Soon after, Deng Chaolu returned to the mountain.The moment she met Bai Ni, Deng Chaolu knew exactly where she should go and where she should take root in the future.Fortunately, her application for job transfer went smoothly. Her tutor Qin Jizhou and teacher's mother Chu Ya didn't make things difficult for her this time, and they both raised their hands in favor.The instructor, Qin Jizhou, went back to the province specially for this reason, and talked to the relevant departments in a pedantic manner.On the day Deng Chaolu went up the mountain, Qin Jizhou cooked the kitchen himself, arranged a table of dishes, and wanted to see her off.During the dinner, Qin Jizhou said this: "You have to remember that you are the daughter of Deng Jiaying and Lu Bo, and they will watch your every move on the mountain. Of course, there is also your biological mother." Deng Chaolu nodded heavily. Now, Deng Chaolu is standing by the bank of the Zamu River. The water in the river is getting smaller and dirty day by day. Deng Chaolu stared at the direction of the Jinsha River and refused to move away for a long time.Like staring at a knot, staring at a huge black hole. A week later, Qin Yu also went up the mountain.Qin Yu returned to the White House. The Shiyang River Basin Ecological Governance Center where he worked was merged with another research center in a new round of institutional reform.Miao Yulan resigned from the position of deputy director, which was regarded as advancing to the second line.The other personnel regrouped, and if they couldn't regroup, they went down to the grassroots.Qin Yu didn't fight like Chang Jian and the others, what was he fighting for? He was already tired of places like agencies, and he belonged to the White House.Father was right, after leaving the white house, he was nothing, an idler, and in the future he would be a useless person.Qin Yu couldn't listen to his father's many words in his life, so Qin Yu listened carefully to this sentence.Qin Yu felt that what his father said now was quite different from what he used to say. Before, his father was extreme, stubborn, and prone to extremes. Now, no, his father has become moderate and pragmatic, and there is more love in his words. Qin Yu knew that when his father was old, he understood life and the essence of the world from the suffering of others. the nature of the world. People are afraid that if they can't see clearly, if they can see clearly, everything will be much easier to deal with. Before going up the mountain, Qin Yu formally submitted a complaint to the court.He wanted to end this marriage, and he no longer had the heart to evaluate this marriage that shouldn't exist. There will always be some chaos in a person's life. Breaking through chaos and waking up suddenly is another compulsory course in life.Isn't it the same for my father, and even more so for my mother. They spent most of their lives in chaos, and they are only now awake.Based on this calculation, Qin Yu is not too late.It's better to take a detour, but it's better to suffer a little.Otherwise, how can you smile at life? Qin Yu hasn't decided whether or not to see Deng Chaolu and when.He feels that now is not the time, he needs time, and Deng Chaolu also needs time, but he firmly believes that what should come will definitely come. My mother was right. Human beings go around in circles. They go around the world in a big circle and then return to the starting point. Yes, he stood at the starting point again.It is that pile of Mani stones, that big grass beach.The moonlight poured down like water, covering the sky and the earth. Qin Yu saw the bonfire, and a fresh face and a pair of bright eyes were reflected in the light of the fire... And behind the mountain, at the water pipe of the Zamu River, Deng Chaolu was also standing under the moonlight.The moonlight is alluring, if you want to force people to think of something, then think about it.With his back to the river and the direction of the white house, Deng Chaolu boldly let go of his thoughts and let them fly in the moonlit night. fly up. At this time, in the depths of the river and the depths of the grassland, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, followed by a torch. At first glance, it looked like a will-o'-the-wisp, creepy, but after careful identification, it was Naropa. They are shouting mountains. The mountain callers have already formed a huge team, haunting the grassland and around the river every day. "Wake up, wake up—" "Wake up, wake up—" Can the river wake up? Can the mountain wake up? And this plateau, this river basin!
