Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven Sudden Changes.2

I said, "You are crying, half of the pillow towel is wet." She said, "Aijun, we are worth it, the revolution is worth it, life and death are worth it." I shaved her tear-wet hair to her ear behind. "You cry because of this?" She said, "I remembered the past, and I was afraid that I would cry." I said, "What are you afraid of? We have ideals, ambitions, and dare to fight. The grassroots has become a county post. As long as we work hard, work hard, and work harder, revolution, revolution, and revolution, the county level, the sub-prefectural level, the prefectural level, the sub-provincial level, and the provincial level. We will also become high-ranking cadres from peasants, so what is the past when we become high-ranking cadres? If there is a revolution, there will be sacrifices, and dead people often happen. You know what I know. You know, what worries you?" Because we were talking about a very serious subject, because her tears flowed harder and harder, because her sudden sorrow drowned out our passionate passion and made us The anxiety that was impatient just now slowly dissipated and calmed down. I looked at her with infinite regret.She was very ashamed and said to me: "Aijun, it's all my fault." I turned off the radio and said to her: "It's okay, there is this radio here, we can do something whenever we want." She got up from the bed Sit up and tidy up your body and the bed.Put on your clothes, fold up the quilt, straighten the sheets, turn over the tear-soaked pillow towel and put it on the pillow, and then draw the curtains to let the spring light of April burst in, illuminating the room brightly. Bright and bright, like the atrium of a revolutionary.It was already noon, and in the sunlight that penetrated into our room, there were also spots of golden dust flying around.The portrait of Chairman Mao and the still photo of "Red Lantern" on the wall are blurred and dazzling in the sunlight.Looking out of the window, you can see the holly trees in the large flower pond in the courtyard of the guest house. In the early spring weather, they are not green, but green and black.Those trees were cut low and flat. When I looked carefully, I found that the trees were arranged in the shape of "loyalty" when they were planted. When the trees are flourishing, the word "loyalty" appears vague and powerful.I opened the window and looked at the word "loyalty", and said to Hongmei, come and see. Secretary Guan said that I should think about the work in the county. A large flower bed is built at each intersection in the county seat, and a Chinese character "loyalty" is planted in each flower bed with pine and cypress trees.Hongmei tidied up the bed and walked over, followed me to see the green characters of loyalty in the flower pond, and said that planting the character "loyalty" in the county town is too monotonous, and it can be planted into characters of "three loyalty" and "four infinite".I said how many trees are there?How big is the flower bed?She smiled again after thinking about it, and naturally crossed her hands, hung them on one of my shoulders, and said, we not only want to carry out revolution, focus on agriculture, but also focus on forestry, water conservancy and rural animal husbandry.When focusing on forestry, you find a big hillside and use trees to plant five characters of "Long live Chairman Mao!".People can see those five characters tens of miles away, and people can recognize "Long live Chairman Mao!" on the plane, so that you and I will become famous all over the country, maybe someone in Beijing will come to take our The incident was made into a documentary and screened all over the country.I was attracted by Hongmei's idea, turned around and held her face with both hands, and saw that her eyes were bright and bright, but there were fish lines in the corners of her eyes.The fish pattern pierced my heart like a thorn.She saw the change on my face, "Am I getting old?" She asked half worried, half sad.I said: "Life is easy and it is difficult to grow old. If the sky has love, the sky will grow old." She said: "I am old and dry, do you really like me?" I said: "We are a revolutionary couple. What connects me is the revolution, not just youth and beauty. As long as the revolution is not over, our relationship will never end." I don't know if she is satisfied with my answer, but I know she is speechless.Speechless, she went back and sat on the edge of the bed.In order to comfort her, I pulled a chair and sat beside her, held her hands in mine, and said, "Do you want to be the director of the Women's Federation or the deputy county magistrate? Being a deputy county magistrate sounds nice, but you You have to be appointed by the county magistrate, and the county magistrate has the final say. It’s not nice to be the director of the Women’s Federation, but you have the final say on the Women’s Federation.” She let me squeeze her hands in mine at will, like A hot and soft bird was lying on the nest, its eyes hung on my face and mouth with longing, and the smile on the corner of the mouth was a little uneasy. "I know you want to be the secretary of the county party committee, not the magistrate. The core force leading our cause is the Communist Party of China. The party leads everything. The party can also command the gun. So you want to be the secretary. Guess what I'm thinking? I I want to be the deputy county magistrate and the director of the Women's Federation. We are legally married and we are inseparable together. I hope that one day you will be transferred to the district and let me be the county magistrate or secretary." I said, "How is this possible?" She She said, "What's impossible?" I said, "Will Secretary Guan agree?" She said, "Not only will we let Secretary Guan be the matchmaker when we get married, but we should also try to establish a relationship with Secretary Guan. "I let go of her hand from mine: "Are you just pretending to be an overlord?" She smiled: "You think it's impossible?" She wiped the sweaty hand I pinched on the bed sheet Wipe, and then the eyes became bright and intelligent, looking at me like a big sister looking at her younger brother, saying that I knew since I was a child that the Red Army in the county's rest and cadres especially love to recognize their grandsons or granddaughters.As long as Secretary Guan is a matchmaker for you and me to get married, our relationship with Secretary Guan will be extraordinary.It's not that you can go to Secretary Guan's house every now and then.When we went to Secretary Guan's house, we took Hongsheng, Honghua, and Tao'er in turn, and asked them to keep calling Secretary Guan Grandpa Guan and Secretary Guan's wife Grandma.Then, ask the customs clearance secretary where he is from. If he is from the south, we will bring him some peppers and pickles every time we go. Don’t bring any valuables. If he is from the north, we will bring him every time we go. Millet or red dates, children and daughters have sweeter mouths, and grandpa and grandma keep calling, how can you not recognize them as godmothers?Can he not let you and I work together if he recognizes you as a godfather?Can you not let me be the deputy county magistrate and director of the Women's Federation?Even if you are not allowed to be a secretary this time, if you become a county magistrate, wouldn't you be able to change any time you want to be a secretary? "(My soul, my flesh, my revolutionary lover and wife!) I was so elated by Hongmei's words that I was speechless. Like a student solving a lifelong riddle for a teacher, I began to think Staring at Hongmei's mouth, staring at Hongmei's face, staring at Hongmei's hair and shoulders, after staring for a while, I suddenly held Hongmei's hands in mine, like catching a pair of birds that just flew away Er said: "Secretary Guan seems to be from the north. If he is from the Northeast, we will bring him noodles and Liangpier from the Northeast every time he goes. If he is from Shandong, we will bring him chives and pancakes. Bring millet and sorghum, and if you are from Shaanxi, you can bring old mature vinegar. "We sat in the guest house during the long hours before lunch, planning revolution and work, career and future, marriage and family, relationship and friendship. We had decided to marry as soon as our appointments were announced Let double happiness add to the brilliance of our lives, and let our revolutionary ships sail at full speed with full sails. We are thriving and bright, and the sun shines on the world. (I) 33 Yao left the county before the age of 35 and went to the district to become the deputy commissioner of the district or the mayor of Jiudu City. At this time, at this time, the director of the guest house came to invite us to dinner. Of course it is an excellent meal, the guest house is completely cooked according to the standard for the new county magistrate, grilled fish, stewed chicken, pork ribs, salted duck and meatball soup, four tables are set up in disorder. The only person who came to accompany us for dinner was Director Liu from the Organization Department of the prefectural committee. It was originally promised that all the leaders of the county’s leadership team would come, and Secretary Guan would announce me and Hongmei to everyone at the dinner table in the form of "internal information". County leaders, let us get acquainted with the leaders and work of each department as soon as possible. But Secretary Guan did not come, nor did the leaders of the county team. In a large dining room of the county party committee guest house, there were four tables of meals, but only Director Liu, There are three of us, Hongmei and I. In retrospect, the earthquake of our revolutionary cause was already brewing under our feet, and the solid ground had already begun to shake, but we were really dazzled by the victory. The great tragedy that was happening was covered up. I walked down from the second floor of the guest house and turned a corner to the large dining room of the bungalow on the east side. I saw Director Liu, and I shook his hand with the amiable gesture of the new county magistrate. Hongmei said " The three words are sweet and greasy, like the red apricots that are overripe in that season, but when Director Liu shook hands with me, he only pulled my finger, and when he answered Hongmei, he only pulled my finger. Glancing at her and snorting for a while, I looked at the four tables of food and the wine and wine cups in the big dining room and asked, "Secretary Guan hasn't arrived yet? Director Liu sat on a chair in front of a table and said, "I won't come." "I was slightly surprised: "Well, other leaders in the county..." Director Liu picked up the chopsticks and picked up the bowl. "Let's eat first, and I'll talk to you when I'm done." "I began to feel a little shaking under my feet, and felt a cold wind blowing from the soles of my feet. Looking at Hongmei, I saw that her face was pale. Needless to say, she has felt dissatisfied with Director Liu's attitude and actions. Peaceful and strange. After all, we have all emerged from the storm of struggle. After all, we are all revolutionaries with rich experience in struggle. After all, we have seen all kinds of storms in revolution, and even if we haven’t seen it, we have heard of it .We know that sometimes a revolution can be achieved or lost in a single thought. The success of a revolution does not mean the end of the struggle. As long as there are stages, the class struggle will never end. The proletariat and the bourgeoisie will never end. The struggle between the various factions, the class struggle between the various political forces, the struggle for power and the occupation of ideology between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie are still long-term, tortuous, and sometimes even abrupt and extremely intense. See Director Liu He had already picked up his chopsticks to eat, and after giving Hongmei a wink, we sat on both sides of him to eat. The steam of the four tables of hot dishes was steaming in the bright dining room, and after hibernation, they shared the newborn flies unscrupulously. The three dining tables were eating, drinking, and having fun, and the gray and white buzzing sound was like the low beard in the duet in "Attack on the White Tiger Regiment". The sun was oily, and it moved from the dining table to our faces and bodies, as if it had been oiled. The cloth covered me and Hongmei. The head of the hostel didn't know what happened, so he guarded carefully outside the door of the dining room. Director Liu ate half a bowl of rice, and only a plate of fried pork with chili I kept moving my chopsticks. Hongmei and I filled the rice, but we both froze the bowl in mid-air, and when we put vegetables on the plate, we only put green vegetables, and didn’t dare to put fish and ribs, stewed meat, etc. Chicken and teal. Time condenses on the tips of our chopsticks like lard. The sound of Director Liu chewing rice falls on the dining table like dusty tiles. Hongmei keeps looking at me, and the cloud on his face is like a piece of wet The black cloth that was soaked in water. I finally froze my rice bowl in mid-air, "Director Liu, what happened? Director Liu glanced at me: "I have to ask you what happened, I have to ask both of you." "I put the bowl on the table: "We are all party members, comrades, and revolutionaries with one heart and one mind. We are all for Chairman Mao and the Party Central Committee. What happened, please tell us bluntly, Director Liu." Director Liu stared at me suspiciously. Hongmei also put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Director Liu, in terms of age, you are about the same as our parents. In terms of qualifications, it goes without saying that you are a revolutionary from the predecessors. In terms of position, it goes without saying You are our old superior, you should criticize both of us if you should criticize, and you should criticize both of us if you should criticize, but you don't say anything about our mistakes and you can't correct them. "Director Liu finally put down the bowl in his hand. He personally went to close the door of the dining room tightly, came back and sat back where he was, wiped his mouth with his hands, and spit out a grain of rice between his teeth under the table." Xiao Gao, Xiao Xia," Director Liu said with his face turned into a blue slate, "I'm officially talking to you two, I'm organizing a formal talk with you.You are a pair of promising successors.Secretary Guan read your files and decided to focus on training the two of you, and Secretary Guan will be transferred to the province sooner or later.Secretary Guan has contacts with the leaders of the central government.But you have failed Secretary Guan's expectations and the party organization's training and education for you.As for what happened, my surname Liu doesn't know, but you turned Secretary Guan's face blue with anger, and Secretary Guan threw the phone to the ground in anger.The two of you know exactly why. At this time, it depends on whether you are true or false to the organization, the party, and Chairman Mao.It may be too late to say it, but if you don't say it, you will not reveal anything, and the consequences will not only be a matter of being the county magistrate and the director of the county women's federation, but also ruin your political future. At this point, Director Liu glanced outside the dining room, looked at the two of us, closed his mouth for a while, and waited for the two idlers outside the window to walk away, half enlightening, half threatening: "How big is this revolution?" You know the harshness better than I do, and you all know how complicated and ruthless class struggle is.But there is one point: in class struggle, one must never do what one thinks is clever, one must not shoot oneself in the foot, one must not push oneself from the revolutionary camp to the counter-revolutionary camp. "After saying this, Director Liu took up his job and ate again. He seemed to have finished what he had to do, and sent a leg of the roast chicken to his mouth with peace of mind. Turtles and snakes lock the river. Where is this trip going? The Ganjiang River is full of wind and snow. Clouds are about to stand on the top of Baiyun Mountain, and the voices are urgent at the bottom of Baiyun Mountain. Suddenly it is reported that there was a tiger in the world, and tears flew down and it rained cats and dogs.) We know something extremely A major event happened. Judging from the time, it happened not long after we met with Secretary Guan, when we were having sex with each other and planning for the future in the guest house. We had a premonition that that event was a real one. It was Cheng Qingdong's death. I glanced at Hongmei across Director Liu. Her face was as pale as paper, and her hands were resting on the edge of the table, swaying, as if someone was pinching her wrists and shaking her hands. I I was flustered just like her, but I know that I am a man, I am the mayor of the town, I am the new county magistrate, I am a young revolutionary, a rare politician, and a military strategist who has gone through countless political battlefields. Hongmei looks at me Like a child falling into a whirlpool looking at her father on the shore, I can't let her feel that I am not worthy of a man and a revolutionary, a military strategist, a revolutionary politician, she is my soul, my flesh, my spirit And my partner, of course I will not let her down. I coughed in my throat to imply that she should not panic and be calm. Even if she is in prison, she must have the determination, perseverance, courage and courage to get through the prison. I put His gaze shifted from Hongmei's face to Director Liu's greasy hands: "Director Liu, Chairman Mao said, we must be targeted and have a basis in what we say and do. Only in this way can people be convinced. Convincing. Director Liu stopped eating the chicken legs, and stared at me coldly: "Xiao Gao, let me tell you the truth, it is not my surname Liu that you are angry with, but Secretary Guan of the prefectural committee."How you angered Secretary Guan, only you know, if you don’t eat, you go back to your room and reflect on it. After I report to Secretary Guan for instructions after eating, maybe he will have a frank and honest talk with you in person. "Hongmei and I left the dining room first. 4 In the special detention room, if we say that Wang Zhenhai and Zhao Qing were imprisoned and the county magistrate Wang was expelled from the party and public office, it took only one month, but Hongmei and I And it took less than a day from the time when the county magistrate and director of the Women's Federation were pre-arranged to being locked up in the special detention room of the Public Security Bureau. Not long after lunch, Director Liu came to my room to talk with me and Hongmei. After only three sentences, we were handed over to the Public Security Bureau for special interrogation. Director Liu said: "First, Secretary Guan is going to the province this afternoon to attend an emergency meeting, and he has decided not to meet with you any more. . "Second, the seriousness of your mistakes is probably only you who know best. Secretary Guan will personally ask about this matter when he has time. He hopes that you will not be obsessed with obsession, and that you will not bump your head into the iron wall of the dictatorship of the proletariat." Third, Secretary Guan said that if he didn't have time, he would send his most trusted person to talk to you. I hope you don't hide, don't avoid, and tell the truth, Secretary Guan will forgive you. After saying this, the thin Director Liu left the No. 2 room. Speaking of which, Director Liu should be regarded as a good comrade. He turned around at the door, looked at me and Hongmei sympathetically and said, "You guys You are still young, don't hide anything, just say what you have to say, these days, because of the revolution, some people killed more than a dozen people and still serve as officials, why don't you say anything? "Director Liu left. As soon as Director Liu left, four burly men in uniforms walked into our room and searched us without saying a word, even Hongmei's hair and the hair under it After searching behind the ears, handcuffs were put on me and Hongmei. At that moment, Hongmei had tears in the corners of her eyes, but she bit her lip to keep the tears from falling. Before Director Liu came Hongmei and I have unified our thinking. I said: "Hongmei, do you regret it? She said: "As long as you like me from the bottom of your heart, I won't regret it." ’ I said: ‘I regret it.I regret that I didn't have time to justify marrying you. "She burst into tears, crawled on top of me and began to cry, saying: "Aijun, I am enough, I am worth it, with your words, I will follow your revolution and it will be worth it." "We agreed that no matter what happened, we would not let the tears fall. We agreed that no one would see us revolutionaries as clay figurines, straw figurines, and paper figurines. Heads can be broken and blood can flow/Revolutionary will Don’t throw it away/Don’t watch us wear iron shackles and iron chains/Lock our feet and hands/Can’t lock our ambitions to the sky/Thieves Hatoyama, want secret papers, torture all over/Break bones, crack skin, will change Firm/Walk to the execution ground with high spirits, looking up from a distance/We see——/The red flag of revolution is raised high/The flames of struggle have already started a prairie fire/But wait there, the wind and rain are over, and a hundred flowers are blooming/The new village, like the sun, shines on the world / At that time, red flags were planted all over China / Thinking of this, our confidence increased and our fighting spirit became stronger / I was for the party, she was for the people, and I seldom contributed / Most concerned about whether the revolutionary sentiment and comradely love can be passed on for generations After putting on handcuffs, we were blindfolded by a black cloth. Like real prisoners, we were dragged by a car for about two hours. When the black cloth was removed from our eyes and the handcuffs were opened, we I have already arrived at the special detention room of an unknown prison. The detention room is as big as three rooms, and it is the same size as the party committee meeting room in Cheng Gang Town. The difference is that the windows in the meeting room are bright and bright, while the windows there are smaller. It is half the size of the standard portrait of Chairman Mao, and there is only one window in the three rooms. The window is opened much higher than the head, and the lower edge of the window cannot be reached by stretching your arms on tiptoe. The steel bars on the window are as thick as your fingers and densely packed. In the forest of thorns, at most one fist can stretch out between two steel bars. All in all, the special detention room looks like the national anti-imperialist and anti-revision grain depot. What is more special is not that the detention room is like a grain depot, but that the detention room On the floor, ceiling and walls of the room, except for the light bulbs installed in all directions and corners, quotations and portraits of Ma, En, Lie, S, and Mao (Chairman Mao’s accounted for more than 80%) red, yellow, green, imitation Song style, new Wei style, new Liu style and calligraphy printing of Chairman Mao's poems. When the black cloth was taken off me and Hongmei's eyes (no Thinking that they locked us in the same room), we were at a loss. The red was bright, and the fiery revolutionary breath suffocated us. In the middle of the ceiling above our heads, there was a huge glittering The red and yellow five-star painting, and five big light bulbs hang from the five-pointed points of the five stars; on the outside of the light bulbs, there are five portraits of Ma, En, Lie, Sri Lanka, and Mao; inside the periphery of the five pictures, there are Quotations of great men are pasted all over the place, reaching the four sides and four corners of the ceiling. On the four tall walls, there are five lines of quotation paintings with red background and yellow characters, equal in size and different contents. There is no half brick left on the four walls in the five-element-red ocean-like quotation room. And on the floor leading to the door of the detention room, there is a square-sized concrete floor in the middle. There are two high stools the size of book paper on the front, and other places are crowded with large and small plaster statues of Chairman Mao. The one who took the cloth for us was a young soldier wearing a collar badge and a cap badge. Clinking the handcuffs in his left hand, he put the two pieces of black cloth in his right hand, and looked at us strangely. , moved the two high stools three feet apart with his feet, and said a word without class: "Stand up!When did you want to tell us the truth? "That sentence was green and purple, black and green, so Hongmei and I had to stand on the two high stools like planting trees after hesitation. When we stood up, we saw clearly that in the middle of the stools, there were three trees from the top of the stool. The big nails nailed on the opposite side exposed the stool by more than an inch. That is to say, we can only stand or squat on the stool, but we cannot sit on the stool. If we sit on it, the three nails will be pierced into the flesh. I remembered We wanted to practice revolutionary humanitarianism, and wanted to say a few words to the soldier, but saw him walking backwards, first painting the back of a huge portrait of Chairman Mao with paste, and laying it between our wooden stools Then, like magic, pick one of the plaster plasters of Chairman Mao squeezed on both sides, and place it on the left side of the footpath leading to the door, and pick one there, and put it on the right side of the road. He moved swiftly, mumbling in his mouth, as if reciting a secret. When he retreated to the door, the statues of Chairman Mao formed four lines of waves on the ground leading to the door, completely blocking the way in and out. Yes. Until then, until this moment, I realized that we were locked in a special cell of a special prison. A cell we had never heard of. Never imagined that in the world of the Revolution, there was such a The detention room. With a cold clang, the soldier shut the door of the plank-paneled iron-paneled room, and the light in the room dimmed, and there was silence. Suddenly we were completely cut off from the world, Although it is still in a revolutionary environment, it is completely another revolution, another atmosphere. Hongmei stands on the high stool to the west, and I stand on the high stool to the east. The huge portrait of Chairman Mao between the high stools We were separated. In the window light at dusk, I saw that Hongmei's face seemed to be calmer than before, as if she had understood all this and could face it all with a little sense of righteousness. I don't know where She was sitting next to me in that kind of car (like a jeep with a square butt), trembling in the car, whether the tears were flowing or slowly soaking out, she was still as grand as Li Yuhe went to the execution ground. At this time, the sun was about to set towards the west mountain, and in the red light that leaked in from a small window in the guard room, the red light was reflected more and more into a red light in the light of red and printed pictures everywhere. Burning fire. You can hear the leisurely footsteps of the sentry outside, and you can see the small window, and there is a face looking into the room, every time he glances (they must be standing on some kind of platform) , the light in the room is about to dim. As soon as the light dims, we know how we are being watched and guarded. I took a rough look at the quotations and judgments in the detention room, and most of the content is Eight out of ten people who met daily during the revolution can memorize it by heart. For example: "The core force leading our cause is the Chinese Communist Party, and the theoretical basis guiding our thinking is Marxism-Leninism. "For example: "Class struggle, once grasped, it will work." "For example, "The route is a outline, and the outline is a guideline." Another example: "Learn, learn, and re-learn; progress, progress, and re-improvement." "And so on. But it is different in the middle of the four walls and in the eye-catching places. The content is profound and appropriate, the meaning is deep and far-reaching, the aftertaste is endless and rich, thought-provoking yet shocking and frightening. Head-on On the front wall opposite the door, in the most eye-catching place are the eight characters "leniency for confession, strictness for resistance". On the wall opposite me is: "what are the people?In China, at the present stage, it is the working class, the peasant class, the urban petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie.Under the leadership of the working class and the Communist Party, these classes unite to form their own country, elect their own government, and exercise dictatorship over the lackeys of imperialism, namely, the landlord class and the bureaucratic bourgeoisie, as well as the Kuomintang reactionaries and their accomplices representing these classes. , implement dictatorship, and oppress these people, only allow them to behave well, and they are not allowed to talk or move. "On the wall behind me, Hongmei is looking at: "Summary of our experience, to one point, is the people's democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the worker-peasant alliance."This dictatorship must be united with the international revolutionary forces.This is our formula, this is our main experience, this is our main program. And under that window, there are two famous and powerful words, like detonators and explosives. On the left side of the window is "struggle, fail, fight again, fail again, until victory-this is the logic of the people, they are Never violate this logic. On the right side of the window is: "Class struggle, some classes have won and some classes have been eliminated. This is history, and this is the history of civilization for thousands of years." "There is also Marx's brilliant statement on the ceiling about the great and foresighted dictatorship of the proletariat that illuminates the course of socialism like a beacon." Between capitalist society and communist society, there is a period of revolutionary transformation from the former to the latter, Corresponding to this period is also a political transitional period in which the state can only be the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat. On the ground, Lenin further deepened and developed the essence of the great theory of Marxism, that is, the revolutionary theory of class struggle: "The dictatorship of the proletariat is a cruel war."The proletariat is victorious in one country, but it is still relatively weak on an international scale... The kind of struggle we are seeing has never been seen in history... The people cannot have experience of such a war.We have to create this experience. "In the daily life of the revolution, perhaps we do not feel the magnificence and power of such quotations and conclusions, but in prisons, in special interrogation rooms or detention rooms, after reading these quotations, I feel a huge wave of power under my feet. The undercurrent is squirming quietly, like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River buried ten or fifty meters below your feet and rushing endlessly, like a mudslide struggling and calling under the stool where Hongmei and I stand, like a volcano about to erupt The magma under the earth’s crust is churning like a stomach ache. I can faintly feel the ground shaking, and the legs of the wooden stool are shaking. It seems that we will fall off the stool at any time. After reading the quotations and conclusions around me in a hurry , Hongmei had already twisted her body on the wooden bench and read them silently. Her face was a kind of dusty color, because of the light of the setting sun, there was a faint layer of dark red hanging on the gray soil. We were about a distance away. Miduo, the huge portrait of Chairman Mao on the ground in the middle, separated us like a snow-capped mountain and a meadow. There was a glass mountain or glass wall in front of us, we could see each other but couldn’t hold hands, we could talk but couldn’t let phlegm and spittle The star fell to the ground in front of us. We thought they put us in this special detention room because we were a pair of out-and-out revolutionaries, red and professional leaders, and we were only one and a half days away from being declared a county The chief and the Standing Committee thought that they did not put us in the real prison because they had implemented revolutionary humanitarianism and comradely love and hatred against us, thinking that they would send us back to where we were after being punished by a revolution Yes. I said: "Hongmei, are you okay? "She nodded to me: "The legs trembled a little. "I said: "Squat down, don't stand on the ground." ’ She said: ‘I understand. "Then, the shadow in front of the window flickered, and I saw a long and thin face looking into the detention room. The bayonet on the gun he was carrying was on his shoulder parallel to his long and thin neck. Hongmei and I looked towards the detention room. He looked over and saw that he didn't stop us from talking, nor did he stop us from squatting down, and we felt the warmth of revolutionary humanitarianism further. We squatted down and grabbed the wooden board as big as a book with both hands. The edge of the stool (like willow), I said: "The quotations on the four walls are for us to reform our minds, and the floor is covered with Chairman Mao to prevent us from escaping, making us make political mistakes as soon as our feet hit the ground. First class. She looked at the portrait of Chairman Mao on the ground in front of her, a bleak smile appeared on her face, she wanted to say something but she didn't say it. I said: "As long as the revolutionary friendship is there and the heart is clear, you can tell me what you shouldn't say." I can understand it with a wink. She said: "Will you let us squat on this wooden bench overnight?" "I said: "I don't know. She said: "If we squat overnight, we will fall to the ground and step on Chairman Mao's portrait." "I said: "Then we have fallen into the trap of others, and the crime will be increased." "At this time, the last daylight in the room hadn't receded, and just when the darkness came up, the detention room suddenly became brightly lit. All the lights in the room were turned on. There were five spotlights on the top, and two on each of the four walls. A total of eight spotlights. These 13 bulbs are 200 watts or 500 watts, and the direction of the lampshade that glows white like a trumpet is all aimed at the two of us. It was as if bunches of red-hot steel needles were piercing our eyes. We rubbed our eyes hastily, and when we got used to the hot glare, the small window was tightly closed. We heard the sentinel walk down the watchtower The sound of footsteps and the creak of the wooden ladder under our feet, it seems that after we were thrown into the revolutionary furnace, people left, no matter what, just waited to melt us into counter-revolutionary waste, and then came to carry us out, and then we Put one foot on the scum of the counter-revolution, put another foot on it, put it to death and go, let us live forever and ever become a pile of shit that despises human beings. I see this with my keenness. We use our intuition We have seen all of this. We have 100% foreseen their intentions and goals. The statue of Chairman Mao under our feet is spotless. As long as we get off the stool and step on it, there must be footprints on the statue of Chairman Mao, that is, we take off our shoes and step on it. Your toe prints should also be left on it. There is also the plaster statue of Chairman Mao placed in four rows of water ripples leading to the door. When the lights were turned on, I saw a simple Chinese character on the side of several statues, Some are "gong", some are "ten", some are "five", some are "three", and some are ":" or ",". Needless to say, every statue of Chairman Mao in different sizes and shapes, Wherever it is placed, there are its secret records. What is even more sinister is which direction the faces of those Chairman Mao portraits are turned. Hongmei and I observed carefully, and you can’t put one foot down without picking up two or three portraits of Chairman Mao from there. To get off the wooden bench, you have to pick up five portraits in a row. Only when you reach six portraits of Chairman Mao can you put your feet down, and every time you take a step forward, you have to put the portrait of Chairman Mao behind you back to its original place. This is when trouble comes, remember three Where are the three, four or even five or six portraits of Chairman Mao, but you cannot remember where these portraits of Chairman Mao are facing. Almost no two adjacent directions of them are consistent with each other, and each and The difference in each direction is not due east or due west, due south or due north, but due east or northeast a little bit, southwest and southeast a little bit, or southeast and south-southwest a little bit. Then they stand close together to form four rivers The image of the chairman of Ripples seems to be a revolutionary gossip array. If you go in and you don’t know the secret, you will definitely not be able to get out. Hongmei and I looked at each other, and neither of us spoke. Fortunately, that season is not yet In the height of summer, the sweltering heat has not yet engulfed us like a steamer. In the silence after dusk (or maybe it was after dusk), we did not hear the rumble of the factories in the city, nor the traffic on the suburban railway every night. Coal train whistle (unforgettable suburban railway ah ! ) We faintly smell the fishy smell of the field, squeezed in through the cracks of the door and window like velvet, and smell the smell of kiln burning bricks and tiles in the smell of the field (maybe the smell of the field is caught in the brick cave) in the sulphurous smell).我看不见我的脸是啥儿色，可我看见我的心又灰又冷，如水湿的蓝布或灰布，看见红梅的脸不知从啥儿时候显得又有些苍白了，好像又有些心慌意乱了。时间如流不过去的黄泥水，又粘又稠，迟迟缓缓，漫溢在这又空又大，把革命的景况堆塞得满满当当的屋子里。我们就那样蹲在一米高，正好能放两只脚的柳木凳子上，一会看看脚，一会看看脚下的毛主席（他老人家还是那么慈祥地微笑着），一会又彼此抬头看一眼。很想找一句能彼此鼓舞精神的话儿说一说（物质是第一性，精神是第二性，但在一定时候，在特殊条件下，物质要让位于精神，精神要取代物质成为第一性，成为主导和统帅———这是唯物主义辩证法，是历史唯物主义的宇宙观）我们真的很想找到一句能够鼓舞我们斗志的话题说一说。我想了半天就终于想起了一句话。我说：“红梅，你饥吗？”她朝我摇摇头。我说：“早知这样，中午那么好的饭，我俩该多吃一些儿。”她笑笑，没有声音。我说：“你说关书记是咋样知道你我的事儿哩？”她瞪起了眼，想一会轻声细语问：“是不是我们在你房里时有人……？”我斩钉又截铁：“不可能。窗帘拉得连个缝儿都没有。”她说：“那是……有人告？”我说：“肯定。”她说：“会是谁？天不知、地不知……”我说：“只有你公公，只有程天民。王振海被抓起来他就预感到你我革命成功了，要飞黄腾达了。你说他会甘心我们比翼双飞、飞黄腾达吗？他会不对他孩娃的死存有戒心吗？他会不私下留心观察你我的行动吗？”我又往门窗瞄一眼，听见外边的寂静像一阵风样刮到了耳朵里。 “我们今儿前晌离开镇子时他是看见了。”我说，“也许，他见你我走了他就回了家。回了家他就走进了你的屋里。进了屋里他就发现了你立柜下的洞口了。发现洞口他就可以发现一切，随后紧跟到城里来，正好在关书记和我们谈话不久把我们告了呢。”红梅将信将疑地望着我。她在那儿蹲得双腿麻木了，小心地站起来，慢慢伸伸腰，凳子晃一下，她又慌不迭儿蹲下来，双手抓住凳沿儿。这一吓她脸上出汗了，脸色更加惨白了，宛若一张纸（还能写最新最美的图画吗？）我说：“千万小心点。”她稳住神儿说：“你的腿不麻？”我说：“麻。”她说：“我厦房锁了哩，他咋能进去呢？”我说：“程天民是一个老狐狸，他也许早就配了你屋里的钥匙了。”她怔怔地盯着我：“他配了屋门钥匙，他没法配那立柜钥匙哩。立柜门的钥匙除了我谁都没有呀。”我问：“你这次出来立柜锁了吗？”她说：“锁了。”可她想了想，看看自己穿的浅红短袖翻领衫，又有些拿不准自己锁没锁，像自言自语说：“我出门时开柜换这件布衫儿，立柜到底锁没有？”我说：“你好好想一想。”她说：“也许没有锁。”我说：“肯定没有锁。我几次见过你没锁。”她不再说啥了。她似乎终于想起来自己没有锁那立柜门，脸上留下的懊悔呈出土黄色，仿佛那张清秀的脸上堆满了田野的黄土和熟庄稼的风尘粉末儿。她那样沉沉静静看我一阵子，把头深深地勾下了。我说：“千里之堤，溃于蚁穴。”她又把头抬将起来了。抬起头时她泪流满面，看出来她对自己的深悔和惭愧，恨不得一头撞在地上死去以表白自己的内疚和悔悟。灯光炽白明亮，她的脸雪青深蓝，滴在粉红布衫上的泪滴好像黑墨水。 “真是我忘锁了你会恨我吗？”她这样问我时，脸上乞求谅解的目光白白亮亮，如一根根剥了皮的麦秸秆儿横在我们的脸中间，问话的声音颤颤抖抖，有两滴泪落在脚下凳边上，弹起一层尘灰，碎成几个微粒的小泪珠，落在毛主席像上，如几颗细沙落在纸张上。我说：“红梅，你千万不能哭，千万别让泪落到毛主席像上去。”她不管那么多，依然让泪落在凳上，溅到地面的毛主席像上去，依然固固执执地那样问：“你说，真是那样，是我葬送了你的政治生命，你会恨我吗？”我也开始相信是她没有锁那柜门导致了今天的大悲剧，可我想恨她却无论如何恨将不起来。她是我的灵魂我的肉，我革命的伴侣和革命热情的伟大发动机。我认认真真一字一句对她说：“红梅，我一点不恨你，一点不后悔，只恨我，只后悔没抓紧时间名正言顺娶了你。”她抬起泪眼望着我，似乎想弄清我的话里有几分真和几分假。我又一字一句、认认真真说：“要名正言顺娶过了你，把你我枪毙了村人也得把你我埋在一个墓坑里。”她眼上那两滴泪突然变得比两粒大豆大许多，晶晶莹莹，悬在下眼皮上似乎要滚落，她却含着没让它滚下来。我嗅到了她眼泪中浓浓烈烈的咸味儿。她完全被我的表白感动了。我完全被那两滴眼泪征服了，被她望我时哀伤的目光征服了，被她脸上惨白寡淡的颜色征服了。我真的从内心深处认定，如果果真是她忘记锁了柜门才把我们送进了这特殊监狱的特殊拘留室，那么我不仅将以政治家和革命家的大度原谅她，宽容她，而且还要更加地热爱她、珍惜她。热爱我们的革命情，珍惜我们的同志爱。我要让我们的革命爱情成为后人的榜样和荣誉，成为后人永远称颂的杰作和绝唱。我很想再说一句几句能够表达我的忠贞情谊的豪言和壮语，可我心里有浓烈的伤感升上来，使我说不出一句话，使我只能咬紧我的下唇儿，目不转睛望着她因为苍白却更加清秀的脸，因为泪水却更加动人的那双眼。我们就那么月深年久地相望着，就那么深深刻刻沉默着。我们看见了彼此的目光湿润又凝重，看见了彼此的内心纯洁又高尚，听见了被灯光照亮的时间从我们眼前嘀嘀嗒嗒走过去，听见了各自的心跳如嘀嘀嗒嗒、清清明明像草尖、树叶上的夜露不停地落在草地或者枯叶上。我们闻到从门缝和房顶的那儿涌来的砖窑的黄色硫磺味，潮湿得浸润人的鼻子和嗓子，亲切得想张开大嘴把那味儿吞进肚里去。我们就那么相望着，就那么沉默着，等沉默的相望有些累人了，她突然抬手把眼上的两滴泪珠擦下来，低头粲然一笑说：“爱军，你知道我眼下最想干啥儿？”我朝她摇了一下头。她收起笑容板板正正说：“我最想最后一次在你面前把衣裳脱下来，一针一线都不挂，疯疯狂狂，像那次在那墓里一样跳一场，然后舒舒展展躺在你面前，你让我咋样我就咋样儿，你想咋样我你就咋样儿我。”我并不感到她这话来得突然和意外。我仿佛最爱听的就是这当儿她说这样的话。我完全被她的表白感动了，像我百分之百感动她样，她也百分之百地感动了我。我不知道那当儿我脱口而出的话是思谋已久，还是随口说出的一句为了证实她诚心纯度的一句话。我望着她的脸，望着从她耳后翘到耳前的一撮黑头发，心里荡漾着少有的惬意和快活，我说：“你说的是真的？”她好像对我这样的问话有些吃惊和不解：“你不相信我？”“信。”我说，“可你知道我这会儿最想干啥呢？这会儿我突然极想抱着炸药像董存瑞那样把程寺给炸掉；想你我一丝不挂在程寺庙里的光天化日下天不怕地不怕的疯上一次那事儿。”她问：“你咋总有这想念？”我说：“不知为啥儿，就又突然有了这想念。”她说：“炸掉程寺也不是我们革命的目的哩。”我说：“可我自小看见程家人在那集合拜祖时，就想着有一天要扒了那程寺和牌坊，炸了那程寺和牌坊。”她把蹲酸的腿轻轻动一动，又小心地站一站，重新蹲下来望着我的脸。 “为啥要在程寺里边疯上一次那事哩？”我说：“要能在程寺疯一次那事儿，比在程寺的脸上打耳光，比朝在程寺的心窝踢一脚都叫人舒心哩。”她问：“你说我们还会出去吗？”我说：“不知道。”她说：“能出去了你说咋样我们就咋样！”这时候，屋子外有了脚步声，有一名士兵从天窗下爬上木梯，到窗前推开窗子朝里望一眼，又下去木梯不知朝哪走去了。他这一来一往，使我们明白外边彻底天黑了，已经是吃过夜饭很久了。我们忽然感到了饿，感到了小腿发酸脚发麻。我很想叫住那看我们一眼走了的人，让他给我们弄些饭吃，或者端一碗生水喝一喝，可他的脚步声又由近至远消失了。我们决定只要再有人来看我们就向他要饭吃，向他要水喝，可我们没想到那一夜竟再也没人登上窗口看一眼我俩了。我还是把我们在特殊拘留室受到的具有革命历史意义的惩处估计不足了。在饥饿降临时，在我俩因为说话口干舌燥时，在终于在那凳上站站蹲蹲，蹲蹲站站熬到半夜时，我们体会到了我们受到的惩处的残酷性。瞌睡从四面八方朝我们袭过来。剧烈的光亮刺着眼睛像针样扎在我们的眼球上。凳面上的三颗发亮的铁钉尖儿在两只脚间张牙又舞爪。不能坐，站着时两腿发软，蹲下时双脚发麻。不知道那一夜是如何煎熬过来的，蹲蹲站站，站站蹲蹲，实在瞌睡时就蹲在那儿用双手抓住凳沿小打一个盹。屋子又大又空，天窗前又没有哨兵，只要一迈腿我们就可以下去凳子，躺在地上睡一觉。然而，我们不能下。我们也绝然不会下。只有我们明白，一旦踏上地面的主席像，一旦碰倒了地上的石膏像，一旦踩住了毛主席语录的哪个字，那将是何样的过错和罪恶，就是你对你所犯的罪恶不讲一个字，你这一踏一碰的罪恶也远比你犯下的罪恶大得多。我们是从革命风浪中走过来的人，我们是地道的革命者，我们能最深刻的理解、领会走下凳子的严重性。我们聪明、智慧，富于才华，我们决不会把我们自己送向政治的断头台。到了下半夜，世界彻底无声无息了，我们隐隐地听到从哪个方向传来的工厂的机器声，还隐隐地感到有两列火车从铁轨上轧过的隆隆声。我们从那声音中判断出，我们距县城少说有三十里，或者五十里。夜露的气味凉凉地浸到拘留室里来。剧烈的灯光的灼热使我们越发感到瞌睡的不可抵抗和反对。我们有几次打盹儿时候差一点跌下高凳摔倒到毛主席的像上去，有几次因为瞌睡往凳面瘫坐时，被那尖钉儿扎破了屁股上的肉。有一次红梅被钉子扎中了，她啊呀的尖叫把天花板上的灰尘震得纷纷落下来，可醒来后，瞌睡依然在眼皮上黏拽粘贴着。她说：“爱军，我们怕熬不过去这份酷刑哩。”我说：“你瞌睡得受不了？”她说：“早晚我俩得从凳上摔下去成为现行反革命。”我说：“事情往往是坚持到最后一分钟，转机也就出现了，胜利也就出现了。”她说：“我脚麻、腿软，眼皮酸，我怕是坚持不了多久啦。”我说：“你抓住凳沿闭着眼，一边放心大胆地打盹儿，一边用心听我数数儿，数到十你就睁开眼，睁不开了我叫你。”她就抓住凳沿把眼睛闭上了，我一边查数儿，一边盯着她，看她头有些歪了就忙叫醒她。我们就这样一人打瞌睡，一人查着数儿在观察，数到十或十几就把对方从瞌睡中叫醒来。我们用我们的毅力和智慧终于把那漫长的一夜打发过去了。天亮时，那个年轻的士兵拿着刚刷过牙的牙缸、牙刷把门打开后，他把牙缸、牙刷放在门里脚地上，把那四行水波纹的毛主席像胡乱地往两边挤挪着，腾出一条路，露出两行莫名其妙、笔画简单的粉笔汉字或部首，从那汉字中间到高凳面前立下来，瞅瞅两凳间的毛主席像，见没有脚印或别的痕迹儿，便弯下腰借着从门口射过来的日光，去那像上找脚纹或手纹。当他认定我们没有踩那张毛主席的巨像时，又去看我们凳后、凳左、凳右的画像和语录。他至少在那凳子周围看了十分钟，终于确认我们一夜没有走下凳子时，便一脸惊异地抬头瞟着我们俩。我说：“我们真的一夜没下去。”他说：“你们是第一例在这凳上坚持了一夜的。”我说：“我们又饥又饿，你们总得让我们吃些啥，哪怕让我俩喝上一口汤。”他说：“有吃的，也有喝的，可我让你们吃喝了，怕就该我站到那凳子上去了。”我说：“不能不讲一点人道主义吧。”他说：“交待吧。交待了你们就可以从凳子上下来了，别到最后不仅老实交待了，还又罪加一等成了现行反革命。”我试探地问，“让我们说啥呢？”他冷冷地望着我：“你问我？犯了啥罪你自己最清楚，不想说你就在凳上等着罪加一等吧。”这样说完，他又开始倒退着走，把挪到边上的石膏像重又一个一个放回原处里。有时候，似乎是忘记了那个石膏像应该在哪儿，他会把石膏像倒过来，看看像底，又看看地上的简易汉字或部首，换一个石膏像放到那个汉字或者部首上。他的这一举动，入迷地吸引了我和红梅，我们听不清他嘴里嘟嘟囔囔说了啥，可我们看见他嘴一张一合，念念有词，看见了他挪开石膏像的中间靠我们这边的两行水波纹像下的汉字和部首，第一行的前面五个是“五、山、委、辶、月”第二行前面五个是“人、水、水、扌、云”，后边的看不清楚了，也记不清楚了。为了把这两行十个汉字和部首迅速刻在脑子里，我立马把它变成两句话：“五山委走月，人水水手云”。待那年轻士兵退出审讯室，我把这两句话在脑里念一遍，望着红梅说。 “你记住那像下的字儿没？”她说：“我记了七、八个，前面是五、山、委和啥，后四个是人、水、水和手。”我说：“你知道啥意思？”她说：“知道了我们就可以走下凳子啦。”我们开始猜测“五、山、委、辶、月”和“人、水、水、扌、云”这十个汉字和部首与毛主席像是啥关系，每个汉字和部首所代表的毛主席像为啥一定要面西，或者面向东。我们知道每个字或部首都表示一座像，可不知道每个字与字或与部首之间到底啥联系。我们很长时间沉浸在那种游戏的猜测中，想以此忘掉饥饿、口渴和困顿，以此打发难奈的时间，以期让它从我们面前尽快走过去。我们猜想笔画多的字是代表大一点的石膏像，可发现压在八画的“委”字上的石膏像却恰恰是毛主席的半身像，仅有拳头那么大。我们猜也许是笔画少才代表体积大的石膏像，可我们又发现一个一尺多高的毛主席全身像正好压在有四画的云字上，而仅有两画的人字上却是一个不大不小的石膏像。我们猜想字儿上的像都是面向东，或者东南和东北，却发现偏旁部首上的像也是面向东。我们猜凡是部首上的像都是面向西，或者西南和西北，可“氵”上的像又偏偏是面向正东方。我们猜每个字或部首组成起来一定是一句话或是一个成语，再或一句诗，可我们往死胡同里追究都没想出“五、山、委、走、月”是啥含意儿，没想出“人、水、水、手、云”到底含着啥意义。但我们认定上句的“月”和下句的“云”一定是对仗相应的。我们想尽了我们所知的唐诗和宋词，想尽了我们能背下的可怜的几句古诗中有“云”有“月”的句子，却都不能和“五山委走月、人水水手云”牵连起来，让它们发生某种联系，而使打开革命阵图的钥匙突然出现在面前。我们能背毛主席的全部诗和词，可毛主席的诗胸怀全人类，大气又磅礴，压根儿在毛主席的诗中找不到吟云弄月的句子和唱吟杨柳的意境。我们在猜想那字和部首的过程中，最终走进了死胡同，就像走进一间黑屋门被关死了，像走进一条沟里迎面撞来了悬崖和峭壁，我们不得不扭头重新走回来。 “我们怕死都猜不出那些字和部首是啥意思。”红梅说完，把目光从那四行水波纹的石膏像上移开了。这当儿，我看见不知啥儿时候被推开的天窗前又有哨兵在晃动，看见日光从窗前射进来，像一个探照灯的光。时间大约已是半晌儿，从那日光中我感到了有炎热开始在屋里漫散着。红梅站着在揉她的膝盖儿，在捏她的小腿肚，捏完了又用拳头在撞她的脚面和脚跟。我们已经在那凳上站着、蹲着过了一夜大半天，最少15个小时了，如果今天关书记不派人来和我们谈，我们就要在那凳上再蹲一天又一夜。这一天又一夜，如何让我们蹲蹲站站、站站蹲蹲熬过去，成了最残酷的斗争和敌人，不消说，最终败将下去的可能是我们。可我们不能在没有经过正式的谈话———哪怕是审讯，就把一切说出来，不能在壮志未酬时就把我们自己出卖掉。我们必须要见到地委关书记。我们毕竟是关书记赏识的红色接班人，也许因为我们革命的功绩和成就，关书记会把我们的过错一笔勾销的。至少说，关书记官大量大，一定会宽大我们的。刘处长在最终离开我们时，不是说：“有人杀过十几个人还照样当官呢，你们的事有啥儿大不了。”要革命就会有牺牲，死人的事是经常发生的。这革命中的规律和逻辑关书记不会不明白，不会不通达。重要的是，我们要等关书记来，最少等关书记亲自派人来。而当前，最为重要的，是我们必须把难熬的时间打发掉，设法在那五寸宽、八寸长的凳面上，让自己忘掉口渴、饥饿、腰酸、腿困、筋疼和脚麻，千千万万不能从凳上掉下来，不能一脚踩到毛主席的像上去。红梅说：“爱军，今天会有人提审我们吗？”我说：“不管提审不提审，我们都不能掉到凳子下。”红梅说：“爱军，今儿白天熬不到黑，我就会从凳上栽下去，就会踩到毛主席像上的，我的两个小腿和脚脖已经肿得和发面一样了。”我让红梅把裤子撸起来，果然她的脚脖和小腿一样粗，又明又亮，闪闪发光。她说：“咋办呢？我们就在这凳上等死吗？”我说我给你讲个故事吧，她说不想听。我说有个人特别忠于毛主席，忠于党中央，比你比我的思想觉悟还要高。他听说成千上万的学生都可以在天安门广场见到毛主席，我为啥儿不去一趟北京天安门？于是，他卖了猪、卖了羊、卖了家里的粮和树木，拿着钱千里迢迢往北京赶去了，坐汽车、坐火车，不通车的山路他就步行着走，从秋走到夏，又从夏走到秋，终于就到了北京天安门城楼前的大广场，你猜他站在那广场的中央说了一句啥？红梅望着我。

我说：“你猜猜他说了一句啥？”红梅说：“他振臂高呼了一声毛主席万岁！”我说：“不是。”红梅说：“是'共产党万岁'吗？”我说：“也不是。”红梅说：“天安门广场中央是人民英雄纪念碑，他肯定是望着纪念碑作了一首像'翻身不忘共产党，解放不忘毛主席，吃水不忘打井人，幸福不忘插红旗'那样的诗。”我说：“更不是。”红梅说：“那他说了一句啥？”我说：“你再猜猜。”红梅说：“我真的猜不着。”我说：“他在天安门广场走了一圈，最后站到广场的最中央大声地说：天呀，这广场真大哪，多少亩我都算不出来，没有树，又干净，毛主席为啥不发一道指示把全国的粮食都运到这儿晒晒哩？”我说完红梅就笑了，双手抓住凳沿儿，笑得差一点掉到凳子下。天窗外的哨兵听见她的笑，莫名其妙地往里瞅，用手敲着窗子制止了我们的欢乐和笑声。然他把红梅的笑制止了，红梅却忘了她的脚脖儿肿，忘了她一夜没睡觉，忘了我们是在特别拘留室。她说，爱军，你再给我讲一个。我又一连讲了三个革命笑话和故事，她还想听时我却搜肠刮肚也讲不出来了（我发现我是庄严的革命家，而不是革命故事家，不是革命笑话家和革命幽默家）。于是，我们开始相互对诗做游戏，我说出上一句，要求她说下一句，她说出上一句，我就对出下一句。我说：“钟山风雨起苍黄。”她说：“百万雄师过大江。”我说：“春风杨柳万千条。”她说：“六亿神州尽舜尧。”我说：“我失骄杨君失柳。”她说：“杨柳轻，直上重霄九。”我说：“独立寒秋，湘江北上，橘子洲头。”她说：“看万山红遍，层林尽染，漫江碧透，百舸争流。”我说：“山，快马加鞭未下鞍。惊回首，离天三尺三。”她说：“山，倒海翻江卷巨澜。奔腾急，万马战犹酣。”她说：“革命的土地革命的天。”我说：“灿烂的阳光灿烂的月。”她说：“延安的宝塔航海的灯。”我说：“天安门的城楼民族的星。”她说：“各族人民心向党，我们心向红太阳。”我说：“地球绕着太阳转，亿万人民跟党走。”她说：“张开我们的双臂，迎接新的日出。”我说：“敞开我们的心肺，播种革命爱情。”她说：“我们要像小草一样朴实，像铁路的基石一样无私，像螺丝钉一样永不生锈。”我说：“我们要像田野一样开阔，像山脉一样坚强，像长江黄河样奔腾不息，战斗不止。”我说：“手提红灯四下看，上级派人到隆滩。”她说：“时间约好七点半，等车就在这一班。”我说：“人说道世间只有骨肉的情义重。”她说：“依我看阶级的情义重于泰山。”我说：“黄连苦胆味难分。他推车，你抬轿，同怀一腔恨，同恨人间路不平，路不平。”她说：“可曾见他衣衫破处留血印，怎忍心怎忍心（哪）旧伤痕上又添新伤痕？”我说：“枪林弹雨军民隔不断，妇救会员拥军要争先。”她说：“虽说是几番送粮人未见，为支前我不怕走遍大平原。”我说：“我们是工农子弟兵来到深山，要消灭反动派改地换天。”她说：“几十年闹革命南北转战，共产党、毛主席指引我们向前。一颗红星头上戴，革命红旗挂两边，红旗指处乌云散，解放区人民斗倒地主把身翻……”我说：“九龙江上摆战场，相互支援情谊长。”她说：“抬头望，十里长堤人来往，斗地战天志气昂。我立志，学英雄，重担挑肩上，脚跟站田头，心向红太阳，争做时代的新闯将，让青春焕发革命光芒。”她说：“爱军，下面我可以说现成的句子，你只能编出来，还不能停顿时间长。”我说：“天下事难不倒共产党员———你来吧。”她说：“家住安源萍水头，三代挖煤做马牛。”我说：“低头想起旧社会，止不住双眼泪水流。”她说：“好！———月照征途风送爽，飞兵奇袭沙家浜。”我说：“一路走，一路唱，月黑风高挡不住我心愉快、志坚强，意志坚强斗志昂。”她说：“一般———好像是从戏词里套搬过来的。下边你注意，我说几个字，你必须对出几个字，要对仗，要押韵，要自己编。”我说：“好。”她说：“一唱雄鸡天下白。”我想了想：“万声莺歌颂明月。”她想了想：“驿外断桥边。”我想了想：“寂寞花烂熳。”她又想了想：“红军不怕远征难。”我笑了笑：“山山水水等闲看。”她说：“不用笑，谁笑到最后谁就最好看———五岭逶迤腾细浪。”我说：“山山脉脉如泥丸。”她说：“你这不是诗歌，是一句顺口溜———金沙水拍云崖暖———你必须得说对仗工整的七律诗。”我想着没有立马说。她说：“你好好想一想———你不是说你当兵在《解放军报》上发表过诗歌吗？”我进一步想着仍然没说话。她说：“金沙水拍云崖暖———你想的时间不短了。”我说：“你刚才说的一句是啥儿？是五岭逶迤腾细浪？”她说：“上句是'五岭逶迤腾细浪'，这一句是'金沙水拍云崖暖。”我的脑壳被一道闪电击中了。我听见我脑里有山崩地裂样一串噼啪声。我抓住了“五、山、委、辶、月”和“人、水、水、扌、云”与“五岭逶迤腾细浪”和“金沙水拍云崖暖”那暗藏的秘密，找到了它们与地上那一片毛主席像的坐标关系。我突然就拿到了打开面前走出革命八卦阵的金钥匙。几乎就是在那一瞬间，在那眨眼的功夫中，
