Chapter 31 Chapter two

I heard from my father that my aunt was stabbed with a pair of scissors by my mother-in-law. The wound became inflamed and the fever persisted.That's it, she brought people to search for Wang Dan.Manhunt is not an appropriate word, but it is actually a manhunt. The door of Wang Dan's house was locked tightly, and the chickens and dogs were silent.My aunt ordered people to break the iron lock and rush into the courtyard.Your aunt must have been tipped off beforehand, my father said.She limped into the Wang family hall, lifted the lid of the pot, saw that there was half a pot of porridge in the pot, and stretched out her hand to try it, it was still warm.Your aunt sneered for a while, and then shouted: Chen Bi, Wang Dan, are you going to come out by yourself? Or let me dig you out of the hole like a mouse? There was no sound in the room.Auntie pointed to the cabinet in the corner.There are some old clothes in the cabinet.Your aunt asked someone to pick out the old clothes, showing the bottom of the cabinet.Auntie picked up a rolling pin and slammed it against the bottom of the cabinet. After a few bangs, a hole appeared.Your aunt said: Heroes of the guerrillas, come out.Is it necessary to pour water into it? The first one to get out is Wang Dan's daughter Chen Er.The little girl's face was smeared gray and white, like a ghost in a temple.Instead of crying, she bared her teeth and giggled.Then Chen Bi crawled out. He had a beard and curly hair, and he was wearing a ragged vest, showing the yellow hair on his chest. He looked very embarrassed.After Chen Bi crawled out, such a big man knelt down facing your aunt with a "plop", and kowtowed again and again, making a "dong dong" sound when he touched the ground.My father said that Chen Bi's cries shook the whole village.

Auntie, my dear auntie, for the sake of me being the first child you delivered, and for the sake of Wang Dan being a half-person, you should show your hand and let us go...Auntie, my family has been from generation to generation In memory of your great kindness... Father said, from the people present, your aunt said with tears in her eyes: Chen Bi, Chen Bi, this is not my business. I can cut it for you! Auntie, please be kind... Chen Bi's daughter, Chen Erling, also followed her father's example and knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly, and said in her mouth: Please be merciful... be merciful...

At this time, my father said, among the spectators in the yard, the five senses sang the episode of the movie "Tunnel Warfare" in a glib manner-Tunnel Warfare, hey Tunnel Warfare, there are millions of magic soldiers in ambush... After the tunnel battle, if the devil wants to resist, let him die—your aunt wiped her face, and her face suddenly changed: "Okay, Chen Bi, let Wang Dan come up!" Chen Bi stepped forward on his knees and hugged your aunt's leg.Chen Er followed his example and hugged your aunt's other leg. At this time, the five sense organs sang again in the courtyard: Tunnel warfare launched on the Great Plains for thousands of miles... The invader dares to come... Beat him up and turn his back on his back... All people are sterilized, all people have contraception...

Your aunt wanted to escape, but was entangled tightly by Chen Bi and Chen Er. Your aunt realized something, and ordered her subordinates: Go down to the cave! A militiaman went down into the cave with a flashlight in his mouth. Another militiaman followed. A voice came from the cave: No one is in the cave! Your aunt was so anxious that she tilted her body and passed out. Chen Bi is really tricky, his father said, isn't there a vegetable garden behind his house? There is a well in the vegetable garden, and there is a pulley on the well, and the exit of the burrow is in the well.I don't know how he completed such a large project, and I don't know where he got so much soil.Taking advantage of Chen Bi and Chen Er's entanglement with your aunt, Wang Dan crawled to the exit and climbed up by pulling the rope of the pulley.It was really hard for her, my father said, such a small person with a big belly could climb up a deep well by pulling a rope.

Your aunt was helped to the mouth of the well, she stomped her feet angrily and shouted: Why am I so stupid? Why am I so stupid? My father led people to dig such a hole in Xihai Hospital back then! Your aunt was carried away , admitted to the hospital.Your aunt was infected with the same virus that Bethune was infected with and almost died.She is loyal to the Communist Party, and the Communist Party treats her kindly. To save her, it is said that the most expensive medicines have been used! Your aunt lived in the hospital for half a month, and ran out of the hospital when her injuries were not cured. She has something on her mind, she said that if she doesn't kill the child in Wang Dan's belly, she can't eat or sleep.The sense of responsibility is so strong, do you think she is still a person? She has become a god, a devil! My father sighed.

Chen Bi and Chen Er have been locked up in the commune.Some people say that they are hanged and tortured, but that is a rumor.The village cadres visited them and said they were locked up in one room.There are beds and bunks in the room, as well as a kettle and two cups; food and water are provided. Said that the food is the same as that of the commune cadres, white flour steamed buns, millet porridge, and vegetables every meal.Said that the two of them are white and fat.Of course, instead of letting them eat for free, we have to collect their money.Chen Bi made a fortune in business, rich.The commune made an agreement with the bank, and withdrew all of Chen Bi’s deposits, which amounted to 38,000 yuan! During the days when your aunt was hospitalized, the commune sent a working group into the village, held a member meeting, and announced a policy: People, anyone who can walk will go to Wang Dan.Each person was given a daily subsidy of five yuan, which was deducted from Chen Bi's more than 38,000 yuan.People in the village thought it was ill-gotten gains if they refused to go;There are more than 700 people in the village, and more than 300 people went out on the first day, and they were given "subsidies" when they came back at night, and they spent more than 1,800 at once.The commune also said that if Wang Dan is found and brought back, the reward will be 200 yuan; for those who provide valuable clues, the reward will be 100 yuan.All of a sudden, the whole village went crazy, some clapped their hands for joy, and some secretly felt uncomfortable.My father said, I know that there are a few people who really want to get the reward of two hundred or one hundred yuan, but most of them don't really look for it. They walk around the crops outside the village and shout for a while: Wang Dan Come out! If you don’t come out, your family’s money will be divided! ——After yelling for a while, I went to work in my own field.Of course I have to collect the money at night, otherwise I will be fined.

Didn't find it? I asked. Where can I find it? My father said, he must have gone far away. A small person like her can only move two feet at a step, not to mention a big belly, how far can she run? I said, probably hiding in the village. ——I whispered, maybe it's still hiding in her natal house. Do you need to remind me? My father said, those people in the commune are thieves and thieves, and they can't wait to dig Wang Jiao's house three feet into the ground, even tearing up the kang, for fear that Wang Dan is hiding in the kang hole.I guess no one in the village would dare to take on this responsibility. If you hide and don't report it, you will be fined 3,000 yuan.

Could it be that you can't think about it for a while? The one in the river and the well, didn't you go to see it? The father said: You underestimated this little girl! Her heart is not as good as that of the whole village combined; Taller than a seven foot man. This is indeed the case. I recalled Wang Dan’s vivid and beautiful little face, and the sometimes sly and sometimes stubborn expression on that face. I said worriedly, is she almost seven months pregnant? So your aunt is in a hurry! My father said, Your aunt said, if you don’t go out of the “pot gate”, it’s just a piece of meat, scrape it when you need it, and let it flow if you need to; once you get out of the “pot gate”, it’s a human being, even if it lacks arms or legs, it’s still a human being, and if it’s a human being, it’s a human being. State legal protection.

The image of Wang Dan appeared in my mind again: 70 centimeters tall, with a huge belly, a delicate little head held high, two thin short legs moving, and a big burden on his arms, On the wild road full of thorns, I stumbled and ran, while running, I looked back, stumbled and fell, got up, and continued to run... Or, sitting in a big wooden basin, using the wooden boards used by farmers to stir miso as paddles, panting and shaking, drifting on the surging river...
