Chapter 31 Section 31

Bacao and the others stayed in Luozhen for almost a day. It was Chairman Mao who issued new instructions in Beijing, and Luozhen organized a celebration rally of 30,000 to 40,000 people.At the rally, firecrackers were fired, gongs and drums were loud, and red flags were fluttering. That scene was so big that I had never passed it or heard of it. On such occasions, people are easily infected, and they follow the crowd, constantly Shouting, jumping non-stop, too crazy to let go.Huang Shengsheng said: Are you crazy?! Bacao said: Crazy! Kaishi, Mazihei and Ma Shao all said: Crazy! How did you become like this?! Huang Shengsheng said: Can you be so excited, do you have the spirit of revolution! Kai Shi said: Looking at the students connecting together on the highway, I just said that it is a matter of the horizon. By our side! At this time, Bacao regrets such a big event, not bringing more people from Gulu Village.

After the rally, Huang Shengsheng was supposed to go back to Gulu Village immediately, but Huang Shengsheng wanted to take Bacao to meet someone, so Bacao ordered Kaishi, Mazihei, and Ma Shao to walk around the town street again. Gather at North Street.He followed Huang Shengsheng to a compound facing the street. The man was old, wearing clothes with four pockets, and seemed to be a state cadre, directing a group of people to burn things in the courtyard.What was burned was such a large pile of ancient books and paintings, screen brocade tents, wooden boxes, piano boxes, old top hats, old photos, carved hat barrels, shadow puppets, dragon robes and boots for acting, and phoenix crowns and Xiapei.The fire was so big that no one could approach it.Bacao said: Everything here is burned? Huang Shengsheng said: Destroy the four old things and establish the four new ones! Huang Shengsheng introduced Bacao to that person. When the man saw Bacao, he came to take off Bacao's sunglasses. Said: Why do you still wear this? Bacao was unexpected, and said: These are sunglasses.The man said: It's sunglasses, only the bourgeoisie wear these black things! This is the first time Bacao met someone who dared to take off his sunglasses. He looked at that person, and that person also looked at him. The man was fighting and came over in a hurry, but Bacao threw the sunglasses into the fire, and also threw the flashlight tied to his trouser belt. : What is your name? Bacao said: My name is Yebacao.The man stretched out his hand and said: We are comrades-in-arms!

However, Ba Cao didn't know the name of that person. Huang Shengsheng only introduced that he was from the county, and he had recently visited Beijing. Timidly, he didn't come close to him.Huang Shengsheng seemed to be asking about the situation in Beijing. The man was saying that the Cultural Revolution had entered a new stage, and that the proletarian headquarters was crushing the bourgeois headquarters.Ba Cao murmured in his heart: There are two headquarters in Beijing? He looked up at the man, who was also looking at him, so Ba Cao lowered his head and flipped through a book as thick as a brick. I recognized it as a "Kangxi Dictionary" and threw it into the fire.After about three pots of smoke, Huang Shengsheng came over and led Bacao out of the compound. Bacao asked what you were talking about, and Huang Shengsheng said that he had learned about the revolutionary situation in Beijing.Ba Cao said: How can there be two headquarters in Beijing? Huang Shengsheng said: Yes, one is the proletarian headquarters, Chairman Mao is our great leader and commander in chief, and the other is the bourgeois headquarters headed by Liu Shaoqi.For a long time, Liu Shaoqi isolated and emptied Chairman Mao and controlled the central government, so Chairman Mao launched the Cultural Revolution to regain power.Bacao said: Chairman Mao can still take back power?! Huang Shengsheng said: He must take it back! Bacao said: Then why did he launch the Cultural Revolution?! What did he say? He took off the hat, put it on again, and said: I can’t explain the affairs of the Party Central Committee clearly, and he can’t explain clearly, and you don’t need to be clear. Remember, Chairman Mao is our great leader and commander. Chairman Mao asked us to carry out cultural activities. The Great Revolutionary Movement, we will carry out the Cultural Revolution Movement, you don’t like sports? Bacao said: I like sports! The two were talking, an old man came over and bowed to them.Huang Shengsheng said: What are you doing?It turned out to be a beggar, Huang Shengsheng stomped his foot and shouted, and drove the old man away.

Kaishi and the others wandered the street for a while, and Mazihei acted alone. He ate a bowl of Yike in the restaurant, and then went to the police station to find Director Wang.Because he was an old acquaintance, Director Wang greeted him enthusiastically and wanted to buy him a drink. Of course, Ma Zihei couldn't let Director Wang spend money, so he went to the street to buy it by himself, and met Kaishi again.Kai Shi and Ma Shao also went about their activities separately, looking for a fern root jelly stand on the street, but they didn't come across it after turning two streets, and the noodles in the restaurant cost eight cents a bowl, and he only had five cents.There is a pot table at the entrance of the restaurant, and there are three bowls of unsold noodles on the pot table. It has been there for a long time, and the noodles on it are hardened, and three sticks are stuck on the edge of the bowl.He closed his eyes and left quickly. After walking a hundred meters, he couldn't help but come back again. He passed the restaurant door and looked in again. There were green onions on the noodles.Just as he turned to leave, he saw Ma Zihe coming over with a bottle of wine.Mazihei said: What are you doing here? Kaishi said: Nothing.You bought wine! Ma Zihei said: Really, please eat all the food and drink, I said no to drink, but Director Wang just refused, you need to pay for me to come out to buy it.Kaishi said: You and Director Wang are still so good! Ma Zihei said: It’s not for you to brag about, his branch secretary and other people can’t make this kind of love! What about bullying? Kaishi said: Still a friend of Huang Shengsheng Well, it looks like they're going to bully their combat team.Ma Zihei said: Is he a revolutionist? Don't sell him, he also collects money for others.Kai Shi said: How can bullying still suffer? Ma Zihei said: I just can’t figure it out, he’s bullying Huang Shengsheng too much, isn’t it? Have you drank a bowl of water? Kai Shi said: No.Ma Zihei said: Hey, who did you hand over to? He left with the wine.

Ma Zihei and Director Wang drank half a bottle, and they both drank a little too much. Mazihei took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs and kicked them on the stool. Brother: Brother Wang, drink! Director Wang said: I am the director and I am still at work. I dare not drink it. You drink! Ma Zihei said: You are the director, who are you afraid of? Drink, drink, Wang Brother! Director Wang drank half of the cup, and Ma Zihei drank it all. He even turned the cup over so that Director Wang could see that there was not a drop left.Director Wang said: "You dog can drink better than me. If I can't do it anymore, I will get drunk if I drink any more."Ma Zihei said: "Drunk, you'll be drunk!" They touched the radishes in the bamboo basket next to them. There were a few radishes in the bamboo basket. They gnawed on the radishes and drank. I went to get an egg from the cardboard box, and said: There are no radishes, I will eat an egg.Director Wang said: My daughter-in-law is about to go into confinement, so I bought it and sent it back at night.Ma Zihei said: Brother Wang, are you not letting my brother eat eggs? Director Wang said: You eat, you eat.Ma Zihei said: Brother Wang is good to me, so I will eat it.I took the egg, but my hand was too soft to hold it, and the egg fell to the ground and broke.Ma Zihei said: You see, the eggs are not firm.Bending down to pick up the eggs, the yolks and whites couldn't be picked up, and the thread dripped from his hands. He sucked every finger with his mouth and said, "Brother Wang, the case is still not progressing? I didn't say it, what you said The three policemen here are not strong enough, so the case will not be solved! Director Wang said: You drink too much, don’t talk nonsense! Ma Zihei said: Didn’t you all withdraw? It's like dismissing the case.Ma Zihei said: Hey, Brother Wang is concerned about face, the case will be left there if everyone withdraws the case! Director Wang was a little irritable, and said: You don’t understand the matter of solving the case, and the withdrawal of the case is to give the criminal an illusion.Mazihei said: "The withdrawal is a strategy? Is there a clue?" Director Wang said casually: "Yes!" Let me tell you, don't check it, what's the point of checking it, my brother told you, I did that.Director Wang was taken aback and said: What did you do? You were drunk, drunk.Ma Zihei said: I am not drunk, I did it.Director Wang said: How could it be you who did it? Who would believe it? How did you do it? Ma Zihei said: You don’t know that.Gulu Village wanted to elect a captain. Originally, the captain belonged to me. There was a mill on the way. I got some rat poison that day. I passed by his kitchen window. I saw noodles on the chopping board inside, so I removed some from the noodles. , Who knows, throws joy away.This rat poison has been placed in the corner of my house for a year, and no rat has been poisoned to death. I only say that the medicine has no effect, and at most it makes people feel sick and vomits. Hurry up to get the thermos from the table and say, "Drink, no, I'll make you a cup of tea."Ma Zihei said: "I won't drink it, but if you want me to drink cold water, Brother Wang, just tell the superiors that you can't find out the facial features, then the case will be dropped completely."Director Wang sat back in his seat and said, "Since my brother told me, why do you need to investigate? Drink, Brother Wang, let's have a toast with you!" After drinking, he lay down again, stuck out his tongue to sip the wine spilled on the table, and said: You can spoil anything, but you can't spoil the wine.Director Wang said: That's right, that's right.He poured another cup for Mazihei and asked Mazihei to drink first. He came as soon as he went to the bathroom, and searched for paper on the bed, but when he couldn't find the paper, he tore off a calendar on the wall and left the dormitory door.

Director Wang immediately went to the gate of the police station, asked the guard to close the gate and locked it, and ordered three police officers to stand guard on the walls of the east and west courtyards, and then called the leader of the county police station to report that the poisoning and murder case had been solved. The criminal was at the Luozhen Police Station, and asked to quickly send someone to arrest him and interrogate him.In the end, he asked for a transfer, saying that he had been in Luo Town for too long, and once the case was solved, too many acquaintances were involved, and it would be difficult to carry out his work in the future. He hoped that he could be transferred to another police station as soon as possible.Then, when I returned to the dormitory, Mazihei was lying on the table, and under the table was vomited dirt all over the floor. Director Wang said: Brother, brother! Mazihei fell asleep, so he went over and untied Mazihei’s belt , sat down, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.

Bacao and the others were waiting for Mazihei at the street corner, but Mazihei hadn’t seen the flashing face for a long time, Kaishi said that Mazihei went to the police station to drink with Director Wang, Bacao was a little jealous, so he didn’t let him wait, what the hell? , we came together, he went to curry favor with Director Wang?! When I returned to the cabin, it was almost evening, the town cave tower was full of water birds, and the fish in the river were calling their names again. In the village in the distance, among the green trees, the tiled roofs were exposed, It is dark gray, one piece is flat, the other is slanted, it is uneven, and there is order in the chaos.Oh, the chimneys at home are all smoking, and the buttocks of the smoke are growing upwards. In the elms, willows, locust trees and Chinese eucalyptus, there seems to be birches again. It grows longer than all the trees, and it fills the air. Come, the whole village will be enveloped like a cloud again.Maybe it was because I felt hungry when I saw the cooking smoke, and I thought how good it would be to have a noodle soup when I got home. Kai Shi said that the noodles rolled by his mother were the best noodles in the world, and Ma Shao said, That's impossible, the most delicious noodles in the world should be made by his mother, the two argued, and Huang Shengsheng giggled.But Bacao suddenly said: Gou Ri’s Shuipi didn’t come, or let him recite a Tang poem! Huang Shengsheng wondered how Bacao mentioned Tang poetry, and said: Do you still like poetry? Bacao said: Yes, you see The scenery of Gulu Village is like something in a Tang poem.Listen, the rooster is crowing too! Sure enough, there was a long rooster crowing, and then countless roosters were crowing, sharp and loud, and the dog was biting, making a rough and short breath, as if spitting out together, and there were cows. Moo, the moo of the cow is low, but it suppresses all the barking and dog biting.Coincidentally, the originally thick and gray clouds on the Yijia Ridge split instantly, and a ray of sunlight shot over, and it was shining on the top of Zhongshan Mountain.Bacao is still saying: Beautiful, how beautiful! I used to say that the mountains and rivers of the motherland are lovely, except for Gulu Village in Xiahewan. Didn’t I think that Gulu Village is beautiful! Huang Shengsheng looked dismissively and said: This is What's so beautiful? Revolution is beautiful! Bacao smiled and said: Revolution will be more beautiful.

When Bacao and Huang Shengsheng were standing on the highway expressing emotion, Shoudeng came down from the cloudy Zhongshan Mountain.Keeping the lamp is to let the porcelain buyer go to the kiln and buy six newly fired urns. This time, he will pay the money collected in his bosom to Manpen.He knew that Manpen was seriously ill and had already resigned as the team leader, but he decided to hand over the payment to Manpen instead of the branch secretary or Bacao.Manpen suppressed him, restricted him, and never gave him a good face when he was the captain. He wanted to take this opportunity to laugh at Manpen.After the rain in the alley, the pavement has dried up, and the dirt road on the kiln is still muddy. He wore the old high-waisted rubber tube shoes, and the mud on the shoes stuck to two big mud lumps. Then he entered the yard of Manpen's house.

The yard was silent, and there was a chicken lying on the door of the upper room and the door of the kitchen, and the chicken was dozing.The light guard shouted in the yard: Captain! Captain! Xing Kai came out of the kitchen and said unhappily: What are you shouting about? The light guard said: I am looking for the captain! Xing Kai said: You don’t know that I am seriously ill and I should not be the captain ?Shou Deng said: Uncle Manpen has been the captain for more than ten years, how can he not be the captain? Isn’t he going to collapse this day?! Xing Kai said: I won’t tell you anymore! What are you looking for? Shou Deng said: I heard that the captain is sick, what is the disease, I have to see it.Xing Kai sighed for a moment, and said: Your kindness is appreciated, I just fell asleep when I was a senior, so I can avoid it.Shou Deng said: Do you think my identity is not good? Xing Kai said: How can you say this? But there was a loud voice in the house: Let him come, let him come!

Xing Kai led the light guard to the upper room, pushed open the door, the room was dark, as soon as he crossed the threshold, the light guard turned his foot, almost fell down.Xing Kai said: You don't rub your feet, it's full of mud.People in Gulu Village have high steps in the upper houses, but the feet in the door are very low. When building a house, pay attention to the low feet to accumulate wealth, although every family rubs the soil and dirt on the shoes when they enter the threshold. If there is mud, a small soil bag will gradually form in the threshold, and the soil bag is generally not shoveled, and it is said that it is an accumulation of blessings, a bump of blessings.Keeping the lamp said: Ah, your family's lucky lump is so high! Xing Kai didn't answer his words, and opened the curtain of the small room on the left side of the upper house. Inside was a big kang with a basin full of pots lying on it.A kerosene lamp was lit on the wall at the top of the kang, and a piece of firewood was leaning on it under the lamp. After lying in a pot full of firewood for a long time, I was upset, so I scraped the firewood with a small knife, scraped off a piece of wood flower, and lit dry tobacco on the oil lamp.As soon as Shou Deng came in, he tried his best to get up from the kang, but he couldn't get up, so he simply lay down flat and said, "Shou Deng, it's time for you to come!" , How can the person who killed the tiger be sick?! Manpen said: So you should come, Manpen can have today, you should come and see the joke! After finishing speaking, he turned his head on his back and faced the wall of the kang.Shou Deng said: Ah, Captain, someone came to buy porcelain goods today. It was originally managed by the tyrant, but the tyrant ran away without a trace. I sold it, and I have to pay you the proceeds.His face was still facing the wall of the kang, and he said nothing more.Keeping the lamp, he put the money on the edge of the kang, and said: Is he unreliable as a bully?Xing Kai got angry and said: Enough, enough torture?! He picked up the money and handed it to Shou Deng, then pushed Shou Deng out of the door.

After keeping the lamp, he came out, stepped over the threshold of the hospital, and heard the whole pot cursing on the kang: "Watch the light and keep the light, you are really a class enemy, you want me to die, I will not die if the pot is full, I'm not going to die! The light guard said: Xing Kai, is your loud voice still on! Xing Kai slammed the gate of the courtyard. Shou Deng walked in the alley, coughing loudly, and finally spit out a mouthful of phlegm, he wanted to go to Changkuan's house to get some pepper leaves, and bake a pepper leaf pancake to eat when he returned home at night.There was a small hole in the bottom of the half-high-waisted rubber tube shoes, and water got in in the afternoon. At that time, the mud on the soles of the shoes was sticky. Now that the mud is rubbed off, the water will make a loud noise in the shoes as soon as you walk. , He felt that there was a rhythm, so he walked to the field in front of Changkuan's house amidst the rhythm, but Lai Sheng was pushing a bicycle to talk to Dai Hua at the gate of the courtyard. Dai Hua said: I don't want it, and Chang Kuan is not at home, I can't do it, and I don't eat meat anymore. Lai Sheng was holding something wrapped in castor leaves in his hand, and when he brought it out, it was a pig's egg from a gelding.The voice came and said, "You don't want it? It's really delicious! Even if you don't eat it, you can use it as a noose to wrap your mill stick. It's very strong."I traveled so far to send it specially for you. Dai Hua said: Why don't you eat it?My sister and her baby are in the house, why don't you come in and sit down? The voice said, "Then I won't go in."Why don't you go, come here. Dai Hua has already entered the courtyard gate with half of her body, turned her head, her mouth puckered up, and there was a squeak. Shou Deng had heard that Dai Hua and Lai had a good relationship, but he didn't expect them to be so good. He hurriedly dodged behind the elm tree by the side of the field, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but suddenly poohed twice, and instead of going to Dai Hua's place to beg for pepper leaves, he turned around and went to I went to pick the green onion leaves in my own plot. There are two private plots for guarding the lights, one is the beach beside the road, and the other is on the back slope. Before he even got to the plot, Ba Cao yelled at the door of the cabin. Bacao said: Keep the lamp, come here! Shou Deng looked at the bully and didn't move. Bacao said: Call you! The light guard said: What's the matter? Bacao said: What's the matter? What can I do with you? Shou Deng said: "Isn't it to criticize me?" Bacao said: You still know that you will be criticized, so you still have this attitude?! Shou Deng said: I didn't make any mistakes. If you want to criticize me? If you want to criticize me, you should criticize it at the meeting. If you don't attend the meeting, I will not accept criticism. Bacao said: "Okay, keep the lights, you're talking big!" Keeping the lamp said: ... Bacao said: Just based on your words, Shoudeng, I will give you a breath, the Cultural Revolution! Shoudeng said: What Cultural Revolution? ! Shou Deng said: Has it been like this for decades? Bacao said: This time is different from the previous ones. This time it's culture. Your family is a man of culture. Come tomorrow morning, you take the initiative to hand over all your old books, paintings, and antiques to Shimen, otherwise you will It's the object of the revolution again! Shou Deng said: "You just pay it, the dead pig is no longer afraid of boiling water!" Ba Cao said: That's good, you go. Keeping the lamp but not leaving, he said he sold some porcelain goods today, should I give this to the branch secretary or you, Bacao? Bacao said of course it will be handed over to me.Keeping the lamp, he took out the money, dipped his fingers in saliva and counted it, and handed it over to the bully, telling him to count.Don't count the slots, put the money in your pocket.Shou Deng said that you should give me a note, and the bully said that no wonder I criticized you, are you a fool.Just no receipt.It's not enough to keep the light, you still have to receive a receipt.Bacao scolded Shoudeng for sticking the hot radish to the dog's teeth and still not being able to shake it off? Get out! Shou Deng was scolded, and Shou Deng left.I'm not in the mood to pinch green onions, nor in the mood to go home and bake pancakes.All the way back to the village, it was already dark, and I walked past the domineering old house, half of the courtyard wall collapsed, and a piece of cow felt was covered on the rafters of the eaves. Is this room leaking? If Bacao is not a poor and lower-middle peasant, and if he is not a landlord, no matter how arrogant Bacao is in the eyes of others, he will not be able to get into the eyes of him! I hated myself and said: I, I, I live a fucking xmile! There is a goose next to it, which is the goose of Liusheng's family. Liusheng's old cousin came to see the sick from Dongchuangou.The goose was not killed at six liters, and the goose was wandering in the village, its white feathers were dirty with mud, and it was walking back with its buttocks shaking, when it heard the light guard saying: I, I, I live...it Said: You mean goose? Keeping the lamp didn’t understand the question asked by the goose, and still lowered his head and said: I’m living a fucking life! The goose didn’t know that the light keeping was talking about himself, on the ass of the keeping lantern He took a sip.
