Chapter 38 The thirty-eighth reunion and separation

When Chunhua met Qu Yujian in the orange grove, he vaguely told him the above paragraph.After this period of events, there is no need to say it, Yujian understands it very well.So after Chunhua talked about her mother going to Linjiang to persuade her, her face turned red and white, showing embarrassment.Even on the forehead, beads of sweat kept coming out.Holding a tree with his hand, he just stood with his head down.Yu Jian knows that the past cannot be remedied, so why bother to talk about it.He smiled at her and said: "As for the management of the family, they are also decent people. They are like this, and they always have their own difficulties. Since we are people who study, we are naturally in all directions. We have to take care of everything. There are some things that cannot be followed. We did it with that mysterious thought in our hearts.”

Chunhua suddenly giggled and said, "Mysterious thoughts, come to think of it, aren't they just mysterious thoughts? Brother, have you ever had any mysterious thoughts?" Yu Jian resisted this question. Having nothing to say, I just smiled lightly.Chunhua sighed and said: "Now, of course, any words are superfluous. But I don't believe in the saying that there is no destiny, I only believe in the saying that there is no power. If I have the courage, I will not be afraid of others gossiping, nor will I be afraid of it." If I make my parents angry, then I will not be afraid of anything, and I will be satisfied with whatever I do. But I can’t bear it like this, so I have to ruin myself.” Yu Jian listened to what she said, a little bit too much, just keep talking, I’m afraid it will cause trouble, so he will give up The two clasped their hands together and said, "At last, I have a rough idea of ​​what happened to my junior sister. Do you have anything else to ask me?" Chunhua said, "Of course there is, but I thought, I can guess it without asking me." , What else should I ask? Asking clearly makes me even more sad." Yu Jian stared at her for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since Junior Sister has said so, it is inconvenient for me to say anything more. If I say more, why not?" Didn’t it make you more sad? Now that I’m here, I should go to see Mr..” Chunhua nodded to him twice, and stopped talking, the two lines of tears in the eye sockets were crowding out from the corners of the eyes, It's almost about to flow down.Yu Jian was afraid that she would cry out and start gossiping with him, so he bowed his hands and left.

Chunhua leaned against the tree trunk, leaned back with both hands, and lowered his head.The fifth sister-in-law looked at her from the side, and saw her snow-white neck exposed under her jet-black hair bun.And the circle of vellus hair that kept the virgin beauty on the neck is gone now.That's why I thought, it's a pity that such a good girl is over like this, no wonder she feels sad.At this moment, a yellow leaf fell from the tree and hit Chunhua on the neck, which surprised her.When she raised her head, fifth sister-in-law saw that her face was full of tears.Immediately, he ran close to her, lifted the corner of her placket, and wanted to wipe her face indiscriminately.Chunhua pushed her and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, don't persuade me. It's been two years since I've had a good cry. Let me cry for a while today. Otherwise, call me Where are you crying? Cry at my mother-in-law’s house. My mother-in-law’s family says I’m crying for no reason. Cry at my mother’s house. My mother’s family says I’m a woman who’s out of the house, and come back to her mother’s house to cry! I’m so discouraged, what do you tell me to do?” 5 The sister-in-law didn't say anything, two lines of tears fell down one after another for some unknown reason.The circles around the eyes are red, just pouring water and snot.After a long time, she forced out a word.She said: "Why are you crying? A woman is always wronged." No matter who listens to this kind of unreasonable argument now, they feel that they cannot explain Chunhua's depression.But when Chunhua listened to it, it was very appropriate. He only sighed and silently accepted Fifth Sister-in-law's advice.Since she believed that women should be wronged, she felt that it was useless to inquire about Xiaoqiu with disciple Yujian, and since then, she no longer had any illusions.In the early morning of the next day, she took a sedan chair back to her in-law's house in Linjiang Mansion with a miserable look on her face.When she got into the sedan chair, she stared at the two newly planted willow trees as thick as arms outside the gate for a while.She was thinking in her heart, the next time I come back, this tree does not know how big it is.Her idea was not accidental.She felt that her parents did not give her any subsidies, and the more she listened to her parents, the more serious she would be.There is a secret in my heart, and I will not go home for ten or eight years.

This wish is not difficult to achieve.Sure enough, when she came back next time, the willow tree with the thickness of an arm was already as thick as a clay pot, but the tree body was so big. The tree on the left had no branches, only the body of the tree was left.The branch of a tree on the right is half gone.The horoscope gatehouse in her house is not as white-walled and red-doored as it used to be, it looks good.Now it is a pile of chaotic bricks and broken tiles, half of which was propped up obliquely and the door was broken.At the gap in the wall, there was a thin yellow-haired dog with bones sticking out, curled up and fell asleep there.On half the wall, there was still a large piece of white powder, but there was a large row of black characters on it, which said which division, brigade, regiment, and battalion headquarters of the five-provincial coalition army.The vegetable garden at the entrance was originally surrounded by a bamboo fence, but now nine out of ten of the fence have collapsed.Originally, there was no fence on the vegetable field, and there was nothing wrong with it, but there were two or three feet of incomplete fences, which were skewed in the open space, and it felt very irregular. In addition, the vegetable field was strewn with cucumber and cowpea shelves. .The wild vines were blown by the wind in the setting sun, and a few autumn insects were chirping inside.The places where the vegetables are planted are full of weeds that are about a foot long. Occasionally, two plants of vegetables are exposed in the grass, but there are only withered leaves, and they are paired with eggplants the size of peaches, or old dried amaranths that are as thick as wine glasses.Obviously, this garden has not been managed by anyone for a long, long time.

At this time, Chunhua took a broken basket in his hand, broke through the wall, and went straight to the vegetable garden.There are two other little companions, all children, one is about four years old, the other is about three years old, the older one ran in front, the younger one pulled his skirt behind, couldn't keep up with his steps, walked out, and fell twice.Chunhua sighed, and still walked towards the vegetable garden.There is one thing that makes her most sad, that is, her most beloved pear tree, for some reason, fell to the ground with branches and trunks.The well next to the pear tree has no fence, but is surrounded by many basil.Chunhua suddenly had a feeling, and went all the way to a double-opening window on the opposite wall.Inside this window is Xiaoqiu's bedroom. This window has left a lot of past events for each other to recall.Thinking of this in her heart, she seemed to see a young scholar standing by the window, nodding and smiling to herself.I was also several years younger, as if I had returned to my appearance as a little girl, started running, and went straight to the window.But when I got there, I was very disappointed. Not only was there no one, but there was also no house. There were bricks and tiles all over the place, and there was only a truss with bare beams and columns left, only the one in the big courtyard behind. A large camphor tree still exists, and a lot of horse manure is scattered under the camphor tree.In the corridor under the ancestral hall in the front, there are four pillars in a row, and two horses are tied to each other. The ground beside the pillars is full of grass, and the horses lower their heads, chewing and grunting.Looking at the front hall again, the screen door was also knocked down, the windows were also torn down, the ground was covered with straw stalks, and there were many soldiers lying on the grass.When Chunhua thought that this was wrong, they were all soldiers, and when they saw him, he couldn't get away when he made any move.So he immediately turned around and shrank back.Two children, who were catching grasshoppers in the grass, ran to the side of the fence.

Chunhua left the vegetables behind and didn't look for them. He called Yuan Zai and Er Zai, and chased them out of the fence.The two children just ran, gesticulating and laughing, and turned around the corner of the broken wall.The two children disappeared, Chunhua had no choice but to catch up with them.Unexpectedly, an officer came to meet him, wearing high-waisted riding boots, carrying a leather whip, and walked in a big stride.The two children ran up and hugged the man's legs.The soldier was very kind, bent down, hugged the child one by one in each hand, and said to Chunhua with a smile: "Sister-in-law, is this your little baby? How smart it looks!" Chunhua dared not move forward, Standing far away, smoothing his temples with his hands, he lowered his head slightly and said, "Please put him down." When the soldier heard about it, he put the child down, because he said, "This sister-in-law has just returned to the village. I’ve never seen it before.” Chunhua said: “I just came back today, and no one in the village has gone? My family’s ancestral hall has also been ruined to such a state that I don’t even recognize my own. The door is closed." The soldier said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't blame the wrong person, this was not done by our revolutionary army. Before the northern army was stationed here, this has happened. It has nothing to do with us! We only came here It’s been ten days.” Although Chunhua had suffered a lot, he was a little timid when he saw the soldiers, and when he saw two children running over, he lowered his head and took one hand, then turned around and left.But she said softly: "How many horses are tied to my ancestral hall? Are they also tied by the Northern Army?"

When he was talking, he had already arrived at the door of his house. Whether the soldier heard this sentence or not, he ignored it.Her mother, Mrs. Song, greeted her from the door, and immediately led the child and said, "Why did I tell you not to go out casually? Why are you going out again? This is the party army. If it was the former Northern army, would you Going out this time has already suffered a loss." Chunhua said: "I really don't want our village to be so bad, so as soon as I come in, I have to look around." Song said: "You are If you want to go outside and have a look, you should let your brother take you all the way. He is a teenage boy after all, so he can take care of you a little bit." While talking, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child mentioned a Basket incense candle Zhibo came in and called mother.Song said: "Chunhao, why have you been away for so long? I miss you." Chunhao put down the basket, clapped his hands, and said with a smile, "I'm so happy. I was on the street and heard that a member of the Kuomintang Lecture on the Three Principles of the People on the street, and from now on, we can be free." Chunhua said: "Today is Daddy's birthday, you don't want to feel sad, you should be happy!" Chunhao said: "Daddy is dead It’s been two years, can’t I still smile? The speaker said: “From now on, we are free, men and women are equal, and no one can oppress. "

Chunhua said: "What does gaining freedom have to do with us? It's too late! Freedom belongs to others." After hearing this, Mrs. Song frowned and said, "Chunhua, you are not a female student in a foreign school. Why do you have the freedom to speak and keep your mouth free? After buying the paper, let’s start the fire before the sun goes down. I thought, if your father is still alive, even if our village suffers a war, our family will not I have fallen to this level." As he spoke, the circles of his eyes turned red, and two tear stains hung down.Chunhua was also sad, sitting silently.Chunhao didn't dare to make any further noises, lit the incense candle, and placed it in front of the ancestor's altar right in the middle.With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Song brought three sacrifices out of the kitchen, put them in a long wooden tray, and put them on the incense table.Turning around, he said to the children: "Yuanzai Erzai, come here and pay homage to your grandfather." After hearing this, the two children were still two or three feet away from the prayer mat in front of the incense table, and they bowed up. down.Mrs. Song stood far away, staring at the ancestral tablet on the divine case for a long time, the two tears that were about to fall again and again hung on the corners of her eyes.After being silent for a while, he said again: "If my mother-in-law is alive, I don't know how much I would like to like these two great grandchildren! It's a pity that she is an old man, and it has been more than two years."

Chunhua mentioned her grandmother, and felt that the only one who really loved her in this life was this old man. Now when she went home, the old man was gone, and she shed tears when she didn't speak.Seeing his mother and sisters crying, Chunhao felt very bored, so he took the paper money and burned it at the gate.It was also another thought of his youth, since he said that today is his father's birthday, he should not be too indifferent, so he bought a thousand firecrackers and lit them at the gate.In the dark night, crackling sounds and sparks flying.Song immediately saw it and said: "This kid is really messing around. Why do you set off firecrackers in the dark at such a time of turmoil?" Chunhao said: "Isn't it right for our family to worship our ancestors and set off a string of firecrackers?" While talking, Mrs. Song lit three sticks of incense and came to worship in front of the incense table.

At this moment, I heard voices shouting: "Here! Here!" With this voice, several soldiers with rifles on their backs were recruited.Chunhua was shocked when he saw that they had rushed in.The first one is the officer I met just now.He walked to the main room and looked around. Although the walls here were unavoidably crooked, but the frame of the room was here, and it was clearly from a decent family.Looking at Chunhua standing beside the lights again, it was the woman who just met talking outside.She seemed to look down on soldiers at all.Then he stared and said, "Are you trying to make trouble with us? Or are you just ignorant? Our troops are stationed here, so how can you set off firecrackers casually?" , I am very familiar with it, and I am not afraid when I see soldiers.Then he approached and said, "Today is my father's birthday. We burn a stick of incense at home. Is it against the law? The revolutionary army has been stationed here for eight or nine months. We get along very well. You The boss came here a few days ago. After a long time, you will be very good with us. You don’t have to use force to oppress people, the revolutionary army does not bully people.” The man said: “You are so young, but you can talk like this Great! But no matter what, if you set off firecrackers at this time, you will violate the law. Which one of your family is the head of the family? Go talk to me at the Sanhu Regiment Headquarters."

Song Shiyuan shrank to the side, not daring to make a sound, but at this moment, seeing that the officer seemed to be leading someone away, she stepped forward and said: "I am the parent, if you want to take someone away, just take me." The officer looked at her and said, "You are a woman, so I can't take you there. Is this young man your son? I'll take him to the regiment headquarters to ask a few words. If the regiment commander doesn't blame him, I still brought him back." When Chunhao heard that he was going to be taken to the regiment headquarters, he panicked a bit, and only rubbed his hands at the bottom of his short jacket, step by step. back in the corner of the door.Song said: "You see our child is so frightened, and if we want to take him to the barracks again, then where does he still have a soul? You do a good deed and forgive him." The officer said angrily: "I can forgive him, but who will forgive me? If I don't report it, I will be punished. If you don't worry, you can go with your son. As long as our officer doesn't speak, we will still be with you." What are you in trouble for? Let's go!" As he spoke, he waved his hand at the soldiers who had brought him, which meant to tell them to lead people.When the soldier saw it, he didn't answer, and the two clamped one another, each holding Chunhao's arm, and walked forward.Mrs. Song let out a wow sound, like crying or screaming, and followed behind. Chunhua also wanted to follow, but there were two children beside him, and it was already getting late, so who would carry them if they were left behind? So he hugged one in his arms and carried the other in his hand, and sent them to the university. Come at the door.Seeing his mother surrounded by soldiers, Chunhua was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.Later she thought about it, since her brother is young and her mother can't speak, the two of them have been dragged to the regiment headquarters.After all, I have read a few sentences, and I can always smooth things over with them.Thinking of this, he immediately took the two children into his arms and sent them to the fifth sister-in-law's house.I just said, please take a look at it temporarily, I want to go to Sanhu Street.Not to mention the third sentence, he turned around and walked out of the village, walking towards the street.But how can Fifth Sister-in-law feel relieved? She chased after her to the entrance of the village and asked her clearly before letting her go.So Chunhua chased them all the way, but did not catch up with this group of people. When they arrived at Sanhu Street, it was already dark.Now it is not like before, there is no business on the street, and there are no lights, and it is even darker when walking.Chunhua ran to the street in one breath, not knowing where to look for the regiment headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.Only when I ran from one end of the street to the other, looking around, I couldn't help but say, "Where can I find this?" Just as he was talking, a man ran over in a hurry with a glass-covered chandelier, stood still, lifted the lamp, and took a photo on Chunhua's face.When Chunhua saw someone holding a lamp to shine on her, she was so frightened that she quickly shrank her feet back.The man said: "Sister-in-law, the ground is not very peaceful now, why are you walking in the dark alone?" The faint yellow light was reflected in the dark sky, and it was obvious that he was a man with a long beard. Then he calmed down and replied: "Old man, I have something important, I want to go to the regiment headquarters, do you know where the regiment headquarters is?" The old man said: "Ah! Sister-in-law, isn't this army camp Anywhere, what are you going to do?" Chunhua said: "Please tell me, I have something important, I can't be late, please save me." Hearing what she said, the voice was very urgent, so he softened his heart , Yin said: "Since you say so, let me take your sister-in-law on a trip. But you have to tell me what is the reason so that I can lead you there. If not, I don't know what happened. Where did it come from?" Chunhua felt that what he said was true, so he said, "There is nothing illegal in my family. Just because today is my late father's birthday, I put a firecracker at the door of my house, and I am stationed in my village. He took my 18-year-old little brother with me. My mother is not a good talker. She was worried, so she followed. I was afraid that her words would be wrong, and it would cause trouble. So I fought the lawsuit, and came to take a look." The man smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's a coincidence that you came, it's better to say that you came. The head of the regiment lives next door to my house, in the front wing of my house, Opened a window, facing the main room over there. Sister-in-law, you can sit in the side room of my house first, and you can look at the other side through the window. If there is something wrong, then reason. If there is nothing wrong, You are such a young sister-in-law, so it’s fine if you don’t go out. They are in the barracks, and it’s so late at night.” He said, holding up the lamp and just walking ahead.Mengyuan Book City (my285.com) Chunhua saw how unsteady he was walking, and his voice was old. He was an old man who had reached his age. His words should be quite reliable, so he walked behind him without saying a word.When we arrived at the gate of his house, we saw a large gasoline lamp lit by the gate next door. Under the light, we saw two soldiers holding two short guns. Different from other guns, he said to himself: "What is that?" The old man led her to the house, and told her in a low voice: "This is a portable machine gun, very powerful. The barracks is not like other places, Can I go casually?" Chunhua heard that, his heart was filled with fear, so he kept silent.The old man was more careful than her, as soon as he entered the door, he called his old woman out and told her in a low voice the reason for bringing Chunhua in.So the old lady took Chunhua by the sleeve and pulled her into the side room.He dragged her into the wing room, and lightly tapped the window lattice and said in a low voice, "Outside this window is the main room over there, you should look out through the window." When Chunhua leaned into the window grille and looked over there quietly, this was really unexpected.I saw a small gasoline lamp hanging in the middle of the main room. The room was very bright, but my mother and brother were sitting on a row of chairs on the left side of the main room.Across from them, there sat a young man in military uniform.Heh! That person looks familiar, I've seen him somewhere before, and when I looked at him, he spoke.He said: "I have been in Sanhu Town for ten days. I planned to smoke I'm going to see my teacher's wife, because there have been several wars here, and my husband's family must have been affected. As soon as I get here, I will send someone to Yaojiazhuang to inquire.They came back and said that nine out of ten houses on the village had been burned down, and the house in the husband's house had also collapsed, and there was no one in the house.I just thought that if I went to Zhuangzi to see it, not only would no one see it, but I would also feel extremely uncomfortable.So I endured day after day, and I couldn't do without work, so I didn't force myself to go. When Chunhua heard the words here, not only did he feel uncomfortable, but also his legs trembled unsteadily, and he held on to the window pane, trembling loudly. Just thinking in his heart, he didn't expect to meet Li Xiaoqiu here I didn't expect that a gentleman like Li Xiaoqiu would become an officer. Let's listen to what else he said. Song replied: "Oh! Needless to say, these past few years we have lived a life that is not human.First, within a few months, your mother-in-law and husband passed away one after another, and then there was a war, causing chaos.I took your junior brother here and there, and I didn't take him home until the ground became flat in the past six months.The gate was knocked down by a cannon, and I don't have the money to fix it. I just go in and out by the back door, so you can't tell I'm home if you send someone there. "Xiao Qiu said: "If it wasn't for this little matter today, I still wouldn't be able to meet my teacher's wife.Because tomorrow morning, I will go back to the provincial capital again. " Song said: "Oh! If your husband is still here, how happy I am to see you like this. Are you leaving tomorrow? Otherwise, I should invite you to my house and cook two kinds of country dishes for you to eat." Xiaoqiu said: "As a soldier, the whereabouts are not certain. Maybe within two or three months, I will be transferred to Sanhu again. How did my teacher know that I accompanied the army in the Northern Expedition and came here from Guangdong and Hunan three times. As a soldier, his body is not his own, so he can't get away from it all the time. But I often ask someone to inquire about the news from my teacher's wife. Life is hard to tell, but unexpectedly, sir, it has been two years." Song said : "Our family situation is exactly the opposite of your step-by-step promotion. I heard that you have married the young mistress, have you had any children?" Xiaoqiu said: "There is no child yet. The younger sister has been out of the cabinet for many years, and the younger sister has a grandson. Have you?" When he said this, he tried his best to show a natural look on his face, not only was he not red, but he also had a slight smile on his face.But the person who was peeking through the window felt extremely sad, and felt dizzy for a while, almost fell to the ground.But she held the window stick tightly with both hands, and put her eyes in the window crack without moving.Mrs. Song also smiled and said, "It's just this little thing, which can make me feel better. They are a very friendly couple, and they have already had two children." Chunhua felt anxious and angry in his heart, wishing to shout out, how could such a thing happen.But she was vigilant to herself, in order to save her mother's face, she still endured everything, but fortunately, they had to continue talking, let's see how her mother explained it.Xiaoqiu smiled and said: "That's very good. Has my junior sister come back to Yaojiazhuang too?" Mrs. Song said: "No! In such a time of war and chaos, what do you want her to do when she comes back? Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to me? Do you have something on your mind?" She said in her mouth, her eyes still kept looking at Chunhao, as if she was afraid that he would blurt out something.When looking at Xiaoqiu's face, it seemed that there was infinite disappointment in his heart, and he remained silent without saying a word.A soldier happened to come in and replied to Xiaoqiu, as if there was still some important business to be done immediately.Mrs. Song stood up and said, "Xiaoqiu, is there anything wrong? We are going back, don't delay your business." Xiaoqiu said, "Please forgive me for today's affairs. The rules in the camp, That's what I want, I'll send two brothers to take my teacher back." Song shook her hands and said, "No, no! I'll come and see you tomorrow." Xiaoqiu said, "I should go to see my teacher, but I have to go tomorrow morning. I'm afraid I won't have time to go to the teacher's wife." Song said: "Of course it's business, why are you and I being polite? I can visit you again tomorrow morning." Xiaoqiu said: "Then I really don't dare to do it. .” As they spoke, the three of them had already walked out slowly. At this time, the old man held up a lamp, walked in, and said in a low voice: "Girl, what are you still looking at by the window? They have already left." Chunhua put down his hands , A moment of weakness in hands and feet, the person took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.Fortunately, he scrambled to support the table with his hands, so he could stand still.The old man said: "Your mother has already arrived on the street, sister-in-law, why don't you chase after them and go home with them." Chunhua focused his attention, said yes, and suddenly ran out, and ran to the street. Of course, the two old couples couldn't catch up with her.When Chunhua came to the street, he saw a man in front of him lighting a torch and walking according to a woman.That was the brother and mother, shouting, and ran to the front.Mrs. Song grabbed her hand and said, "Where are you from?" Chunhua said, "Huh! Where did I come from? I came here from home. I was afraid that you would cause trouble and I couldn't deal with it, so I tried my best I came to look for you. Since you came back with nothing to do, that's good." Chunhao suddenly interjected: "Sister, let me tell you a piece of news." Mrs. Song shouted: "What news, don't talk nonsense!" Is it Li Xiaoqiu?" Mrs. Song paused for a moment, and then said: "I don't think I need to tell you about this, so I didn't tell you." Chunhua said: "Okay! Everyone has returned home safely, then Very good, what more to say!" So the three women walked back home quietly.But Chunhua's two children lost their mothers and were sent to a strange place, crying to death.Chunhua took the two children back from the fifth sister-in-law's house, spent a long time, and lured them to sleep. Naturally, it was late at night and could no longer talk to her mother.Mengyuan Book City (my285.com) When she got up the next morning, she saw that her mother was doing as usual and she didn't seem to go out, so she said, "Mother, don't you want to go to the street today?" Mrs. Song was squatting in the courtyard to wash clothes. She asked for a long time, "How did you know I was going to the street? Yes, I said I would see Xiaoqiu off. But he is a student, so he doesn't come to see his wife, and I, who is a teacher's wife, even visit his students." Can’t make it?” Chunhua saw that her mother had no intention of going to Sanhu Street to see Xiaoqiu, but yesterday she heard Xiaoqiu say that she was leaving today, and thought that she would not be able to meet him at this time, fearing that she would never have another chance in her life.Then he went back to the house and saw that the two children were still fast asleep, so he turned around and came out, walking straight to the back door.Mrs. Song was washing clothes and ignored Chunhua's going out.Chung Hua walked out the door and ran towards Sanhu Street.When I got to the street, because I was here yesterday, I found the regiment headquarters in no time. When I got to the entrance of the regiment headquarters, I walked in without hesitation, but was stopped by a soldier and said, "Sister-in-law, even if you want to take over the house, you can't buy it." We have to wait for a while. Our things haven’t been moved yet.” Chunhua said: “I’m not the landlord, I’m here to meet your regiment leader. Your regiment leader is my father’s student.” Da Bing respectfully said He replied: "Sister-in-law, you are late, our regiment leader has already boarded the boat." Chunhua said: "Where is the boat?" The soldier said: "Just get off by the tower on the ferry." Ask the second sentence, and immediately ran to the ferry. Sure enough, there were several boats parked in a row at the place where the ferry was parked.On the river beach under the high bank, there were hundreds of soldiers standing in a U-shape.In the middle of the formation, stood several officers.Among them, there was one who spoke loudly to everyone, and that was Li Xiaoqiu.He was wearing a yellow woolen military uniform, with an armed belt tightly tied around his body.He stood on a big rock, looked in three directions from time to time, and told the soldiers what he said.Although I don't know what he said in the past, but what he said now is very upright.He said: "Our revolutionary army's war is for the liberation of the whole Chinese nation. Of course we are here to overthrow the warlords, and all the evil forces left over from the feudal society must also be overthrown. Why? Because of this Evil forces, like the power of warlords, can deprive the people of their freedom. Let me give two examples: For example, brothers, uncles and nephews are people of the same blood. It is necessary to get close to each other, but there is no need for everyone to agree with each other in terms of basic necessities. Feudal society Here, it is advocated that people organize big families, so whoever is capable of earning money in this family will shoulder the financial responsibility of the family. The rest of the people can be parasites. But in feudal society, only men were allowed to remarry, and widows were not allowed to remarry. Women have always been not allowed to be equal to men. Women have to accept orders issued by men and are not allowed to disobey. Now where our revolutionary army has reached, there is no Regardless of class, men and women, we must let them stand on an equal footing. Which of the oppressed compatriots has not raised their hands and waited for someone to rescue him? These people may not know that our revolutionary soldiers are here to save them. Yes. But we have to shout out that we are here to liberate them. Because they are struggling and stretching out their hands quickly. If our power has reached and they can no longer lift their hands, it will be too late " These few words, from Chunhua's hearing, almost every sentence stabbed at the tip of her heart, her heart was sore, she almost fainted.Still a bugle sound woke her up.Look at the soldiers on the river beach, they have already boarded the boat one after another, and the boatman on the bow is already pulling the anchor, and is about to sail. Chunhua looked around, but didn't know which boat Xiaoqiu was on.Originally, I planned to call out Xiao Qiu's name loudly, but there were quite a few people watching the excitement on the river bank. It was a joke for a young woman to shout like this to the soldiers.So I looked around, how many times my mouth flickered, but the two words I wanted to say in my heart never came out.But in that row of boats, some of them left the river bank and went to the middle of the river.Chunhua couldn't worry anymore, she ran all the way from the river bank to the beach, crossed the river beach, and stood on the water's edge.Then she waved to the boat that was sailing and said, "Hey! Slow down, I have something to say to your regiment leader! Hey! Slow down!" Walk and go.I didn't know which boat Li Xiaoqiu was on, so I had to wave to every boat that was right.The eyes are only looking at the boats on the water, but they don’t pay attention to the road under their feet. They are actually stepping on the floating sand one after another. Both feet are connected from socks to shoes, and they have been stepping into the mud. grunt.It was probably her actions that caused the people on the shore to laugh and alarmed the people on the boat.On the fourth boat, about two or three zhang away from the beach, a man pushed the canopy of the boat, stuck his head out, and said, "This is not Chunhua..." Chunhua said: "Little Autumn, Xiaoqiu, Xiao...Xiaoqiu!" Xiaoqiu stood on the bow and replied, "Why didn't you come earlier? Now, I can't go ashore again, how are you?" Chunhua said, "Hi! What? You said it, I’m too late, I’m too late! Hello!” After saying these two words, the boat moved another foot away.The waves in the river rushed to the shore, and wet most of the bottom of Chunhua's long coat.But she didn't know, she still opened her eyes and looked at the boat.Xiaoqiu raised one hand, waved it to the shore, and said, "Stand up a little bit, the waves have wet your clothes." Chunhua said, "I saw you last night!" The boatman on the boat But he didn't show mercy at all, following the other boats, he pulled up the cloth sails.Although Li Xiaoqiu shouted loudly, he couldn't hear him very clearly.Seeing him from a distance, he raised a hand and looked up to the sky again and again.When Chunhua looked at it, a flock of geese flew from north to south.The wild goose row is two Chinese characters.Xiaoqiu pointed to the word geese, not knowing what he was talking about in the old story of the geese flying from north to south.I don't know what he meant by saying that he, like the northern geese, can fly south.Chunhua had three doubts about the position of his fingers, but the boat that Li Xiaoqiu was on went a long way with the wind and the water.I can only see the boat, but where are people? Chunhua went ashore and stood under the two willow trees by the tower. The weather in the south of Jiangxi is even closer to that of Guangdong. Although it is late October, only a small part of the willows are withered and yellow. The southwest wind on the head of the Ganjiang River is constantly blowing, and the leaves of the willows are scattered. fell to the ground and was blown into the water by the wind.The few boats that drove away became less and less visible the further away they were, and only the cloth sails like white bird feathers remained, sticking on the horizon.岸上看热闹的人，早已走光了，渡船也由河这边，开到了对岸去。这里虽还有过路的人，然而他们并不注意到柳树下面，还有一个伤心的女子。太阳由长堤后面的桔子林上晒了过来，已没有了什么热气，金黄的光色，直射到对面的江心里。水里的阳光影子，由下面最宽，到上面顶小，仿佛像是个弹簧式的黄金塔。因为太阳光的影子，虽是落在固定的地方，但是江水流动着，把那太阳影子也就摇摆起来了。太阳没有了威力，风吹到人身上，格外的凉爽。便是那柳条子被风吹着，唆唆作响，添了无限的凄凉意味。春华再向江里看时，便是插在江里的白鸟毛，也看不到了，一片空江，白水浩荡的流着。心想，这样的顺风顺水，小秋的船，不知走下去多少路了。只管望着，不知道人在什么地方了。 忽然听到耳边有人叫道：“唉!船都开走了，来晚了。”春华被那几句话惊着回过脸来看时，却是久违了的屈玉坚。左手提着一个食盒子，右手提着两瓶酒，站在那里还只是喘气。一眼看到春华，向后一缩，叫道：“咦!师妹怎么也来了?”春华道：“我早就来了，来了又怎么样?也是没有赶着送行啦!”玉坚道：“那么，你没有看到小秋吗?”春华道：“看到的，看到又怎么样?也不能说一句话呀!”玉坚道：“人生的遇合，那是难说的，你想不到今天遇到他，也许还有个第二次想不到的事，他简直就驻扎在这三湖街上，也说不定的。”春华道：“我还能再等一个想不到的机会吗?老实告诉你，我像这落下去的太阳一样，照着这落木空江，也就为时不多吧。他说了，晚了，他要来解放，也来不及了，来不及了!这不是我不要人来救我，实在我自己无用呀!”玉坚听她说的话，有些言语颠倒，便道：“师妹，你的鞋袜打湿了，回去换衣服吧。”春华不作声，只是向赣江下流头望着。玉坚道：“太阳落下去了，我送师妹回去吧。”春华道：“屈师兄，我问你一句话……”玉坚道：“师妹有什么指教?”春华道：“假使……假使……我要解放，还不迟吗?”玉坚道：“解放是不限时候的。譬如今天太阳下山了，江里的船误了行程，到了明日天亮，还可以走的呀!”说到这里，春华回味着他的话，没有作声。对河永泰镇庙的晚钟，隔了江面，一声声的传了过来。太阳带了朱红色，落下树林子里去。江面上轻轻地罩了一层烟雾，不见一条船只。除了那柳树叶子，还不断地向水里落下去而外，一切都要停止了。钟声在那里告诉人：今天是黑暗了。向前的人，镇静着吧!明天还天亮的呵!
