Chapter 14 The Story of Big Nose.6

When the weather is warm, the big nose can be "home" everywhere.A man like him is a bit odd: during the day we almost always meet him on the road, but at night we seldom see where he sleeps.But he will still be on the ground of this "big Shanghai" at night, and he will not fly into the sky, that is certain. Maybe he will have an "underground" "home" like a mouse?The author has never investigated it, so it is regarded as an unsolved case. However, the author can be responsible for stating that one of the many uncertain "homes" of Big Nose is neither in the sky nor in the ground.

Presumably readers know that in the northern area of ​​"Great Shanghai", at the junction of "Hua", "Yang", and "Jiangsu", a piece of rubble that was baptized by the "128" artillery fire is still full of weeds in recent years. No loss of memory.On the bleeds of this venerable "Great Shanghai", several dangerous walls still stand tall, as if they will never collapse.Near the wall, there is a cement dumpster from the "prosperous" era, but now it is covered by broken bricks and tiles and mud, and it looks like a mound from a distance.Somehow, and I don’t know when and what month, our big noses found this strange "basement", and we were very fond of it immediately, and it probably took a little effort to clean it up as his own. The "Winter Palace".

This is probably not nonsense, because someone really saw him climb out of this "home" that is neither in the sky nor in the ground. This day is not a hot day, according to the calendar, it is the end of the first month of the year, but this day is not very cold. There is no sun on this day.By the way, there is no sun.God has put on a mournful face since the early morning. At this end, in some corner of "Great Shanghai", there must be some respectable people sitting and standing up meekly, "silent for three minutes".So those who go to the yamen go to the yamen, and those who go to the "office" go to the "office"...

However, on this day, on a vessel (road) running from north to south in the "Great Shanghai", there was a wave of anger from all kinds of people, answering the sound of artillery four years ago with a cry that shook the earth. Our Big Nose was heading south from his "home" in search of breakfast. He caught up with this majestic flow of people head-on, thinking that this was some kind of "big funeral". "Damn it! Little Wu is not enough friends! Somebody is going to have a big funeral, so why don't you come to greet me!" Thinking about it, Big Nose felt that he had missed an opportunity to get "extra money".He stood by the side of the road, wanting to see if the "not enough friends" little Wuzi was carrying some "elementary couplets" or wreaths inside.

There is no "god of the way", and there is no "top horse".The ones walking in front are Mr. Changsong, Mr. Dresses, ladies with cheongsams and overcoats, ladies with cheongsams without overcoats, those with long coats look like students, those with short coats look like workers, and those with short coats look like apprentices. flag. Such a team came in such a mighty way that its tail could not be seen.No, its tail lengthened from time to time, and it absorbed countless people along the way, long-coated and short-clothed, men and women, old and young. Some people (and some on bicycles) were next to the team, holding a lot of papers in their hands to distribute to the spectators on the side of the road, and also talking to the spectators.Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering cry——

"Long live the liberation of the Chinese nation!" This is shouted from thousands of throats!This is the shouting of thousands of throats combined into one big throat!Big Nose didn't understand what was being shouted, but he understood that this team was indeed not a "big funeral".He was a little disappointed, but also amused.Just then someone put a piece of paper in his hand and said: "Kids! Go together! Join the patriotic demonstration!" Big Nose didn't know what to ask him to do. There were no "elementary couplets" to bear here, and no "wreaths" to carry, but Big Nose was always brave and resolute in crowded places, so he followed.

The team is still moving forward.In front of Big Nose were three young men, a man and a woman; they spoke words that Big Nose couldn't understand, and there seemed to be a few foreign characters in between.Big Nose has always hated people who speak foreign languages, because of course the high nose who speaks all foreign languages ​​hit him, and the low nose with only a few foreign words between them also hit him, and the hit was harder than the high nose.At this time, a cold wind pierced like a drill, and Big Nose felt that something sour was about to come out of his not-so-big nose.He picked it up casually, and secretly slapped it on a young man who spoke foreign languages.No one saw it.Big Nose felt triumphant.

It seems that snot also has spirituality.It saw that the fledgling elder brother had made great achievements, so he scrambled to show his face.Big Nose covered his nostrils with his palms, intending to save more money. At this moment, the head of the line seemed to have encountered an obstacle. There were angry cries all the way.The big nose didn't pay attention to anything, just stretched out the palm and flicked it like this, neither crooked nor slanted, a lot of snot crawled on a girl's fluffy hair, the girl probably felt that there was something more on her head, but she only moved As soon as he shrank, he shouted forward as if his throat had burst:

"Rush up! Hit the traitors! Hit the traitors!" Big Nose knew that this was going to be a fight, but he watched the snot hanging from the girl's hair like ice silk, trembling tremblingly, and he thought it was very interesting. The team is squirming again.The majestic shout from the front fell on the people behind like a bolt from the blue—— "Down with all traitors!" "Long live the 128 spirit!" "Down with x——" broken!There was another disturbance ahead.But later, he picked up the broken sentence and shouted doubly majesticly: "Down with ×× imperialism!"

Big Nose followed suit.But at the same time, he suddenly noticed a student next to him, wearing an overcoat that was not buttoned up, the coat flap fluttering, and the handle of a money bag was exposed from the pocket of the overcoat.According to the newly learned skills, Big Nose decided that the student's handbag was clearly beckoning to him.He hummed "Down—fuck it!" and moved closer to the student. But just when Big Nose thought the time had come, a few ferocious patrolmen rushed from the side, snatched the small flags of the people in the team without asking why, and shouted:

"No slogans! No!" With a guilty conscience, the big nose quickly slipped between the legs of a tall man to the front.But it was also clear that the student in the overcoat and the girl with the snot in her hair were wrestling with the police—they would not give up their flags! Many people helped the student and the woman.The cyclist dinged Ling Ling and galloped forward.The people in front also turned around to rescue.Immediately there was a vortex of struggle. The voice of "beat" rose from the crowd, and Big Nose followed suit.For the matter in front of him, the big nose is very clear.He immediately came up with a formula in his mind: "He himself is often arrested and beaten, and now that student and that girl are also beaten; he himself is a good person, so those two are also good people; good people should help good people!" Someone's flag fell to the ground, and the big nose immediately picked it up in his hand and danced desperately. At this time, the chaos has passed, and the team is still moving forward.The student and the girl gave up a flag after all, and they walked together again with Big Nose.Big Nose gave his flag to the student and said: "Don't be afraid! There is another side! It's yours!" The student smiled kindly.He said something to a person next to him who also looked like a student, but Big Nose couldn't understand.Big Nose didn't feel very happy, but he suddenly remembered and asked: "Where are you going?" "Go to the temple!" "What are you going to do? What is this flag for?" "Oh! boy!" said the snot-nosed girl with the big nose in her hair. "Do you remember, four years ago, there was a war in Shanghai, cannons, planes, XX planes, bombs, and many, many houses were burned." "I remember!" replied Nose, furtively watching the snot in the girl's hair with one eye. "Just remember! Do you want revenge?" This is what Big Nose understands.He made a grimace to indicate that he "yes", but his eyes met the snot in the girl's hair again, and he felt embarrassed and turned away quickly. "Long live the liberation of the Chinese nation!" The cry came again earth-shattering.Big Nose hurriedly imitated a sentence incorrectly, and then peeked at the snot on the girl's hair, hoping that a gust of wind would blow away the snot immediately. "Down with ×× imperialism!" "Long live the 128 spirit!" Like a furious tide, these two sentences were set off from the big nose, front, back, left, and right.The four words on the head were somewhat understood by Big Nose, so he shouted these four words as if his voice was inflated.The student in the overcoat next to him shouted and waved his arms.The purse jumped out of his pocket.Only the big nose is visible.He quickly picked it up and weighed it in his hand, when—— "Down with all traitors!" "Go to the temple!" With a slight twist of the big-nosed skilled fingers, the money bag was returned to its original place.He suddenly felt full of energy, and he also waved his arms and shouted: "Down—fuck it! Go to the temple!" He didn't know where the Temple Walk was or what it was, but he believed that the student and the girl wouldn't lie to him, and he should go!In a trance, he decided that going there must be beneficial! "Long live the liberation of the Chinese nation!" At this time, the team was walking through the rubble field where Big Nose's "home" was.The team seemed to be electrified, like a person, and said: "Long live the liberation of the Chinese nation!"
