Tale of East Tibet 宗璞 10067Words 2018-03-19
Yan Liangzu was dressed in white trousers and coat, which were wrinkled like a rag.His expression was still calm.Su Chu was wearing a homemade indanthrene blue cheongsam, her hair was a little crooked, and she sat here obediently before she had time to go into the room to tidy up. "Father, mother." Yingshu called.Generally speaking, those who specifically marked their own mothers are not relatives. Liangzu ordered Yingshu and the adjutant to sit down, and shuffled the cards by himself. "Father, what's the matter?" Yingshu asked carefully. "Play cards! Just play cards!" Liang Zu said sharply.He shouted again: "Pour the wine!"

Everyone touched the cards and played two rounds tremblingly.The lotus beads came out.She has calmly changed into her clothes of Yi, Yi, Yi, Han, or Han, which are much more plain than at the banquet, without any hairpins, rings or jewelry, except for the diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand. The adjutant got up and let Hezhu sit down.Everyone played a few more rounds of cards in silence.Liangzu suddenly pushed the cards into the middle of the table and said loudly: "No more playing!" Everyone dared not speak to each other. After a while, He Zhu said: "What do you have to say, everyone will understand when you say it. Yingshu is still in class early in the morning."

"Okay! Listen!" Liang Zu said word by word, "I got the news today. The central government issued an order to remove our army commander." "What do you mean?" He Zhu asked back. "I was dismissed from the post of army commander. Because I lost the battle. Some people suggested that I be shot. It was Chief Yin who persuaded some people to intercede, so that he saved his life." "Oh!" Su Chu turned pale, stood up and sat down again. He Zhu subconsciously wiped the diamond ring, and the light flickered.Said: "It's a good thing not to go to war. Don't worry about it."

"I'm not going to fight! I can't fight! I'm not afraid of being demoted. I don't need me now! I'm an anti-Japanese soldier. I see the country in ruins and the nation in danger. I can't lead troops to fight! I'm still a human being!" "Father!" Ying Shu called out. Liangzu just went on talking: "Strategy, win thousands of miles. Of course it is important, command! But in the end, soldiers are required to fight, people fight, and people die! Victory is won by the blood of the brothers, and there is no less bloodshed in defeat! How did the Battle of Taierzhuang be fought? Later, I stood on the ground with a pistol, regardless of officers and soldiers, and hit anyone who retreated! My Yan Liangzu's marksmanship is useless!" Liangzu clenched his fist and hit the table hard. The cards jumped up.

"Commander," Su Chu said timidly, "Don't hurt yourself, the days are long." She really wanted to pat him and shake him.He is too bitter, how much responsibility he has to bear, in addition to hard work, there are also grievances.But she never had the habit of caressing him, she just looked at Hezhu, hoping she could give him some comfort. Hezhu stood up and went out.After a while, he came in again, put his hands behind his back, grabbed something, walked towards Liangzu, took a few steps back, swung his hands over his head, and waved them left and right.It turned out that what she was holding was a snake!

"Mom, I don't want to watch it." Ying Shu knew that He Zhu was going to do some fake witchcraft again.He's bothered by it.The snake tilted its head in the lotus bead's hand, spit out the letter in a blink of an eye. "Ha! Snake bile wine!" Liangzu turned his attention slightly to the snake.He Zhu stabbed the snake's seven inches with a dagger, then quickly slashed to the snake's tail, took out the snake gall the size of a quail egg, and served it on a small dish. "Clear heart and eyesight." Liang Zu said. "Peace the liver and reduce the fire." He Zhu said, pierced the snake's gallbladder with a toothpick, poured the juice into the wine, and a glass of baijiu immediately turned green.She picked up the snake gall wine with a smile, stood beside the dead snake, muttered, pushed her hands outward, walked around the card table, and put the wine in front of Liangzu. "Commander, please." She sat down.Guards had already come to clean up the ground, poured water on it, and sprinkled pine branches and sawdust.

People say that these tricks of lotus beads are specially used to tame Liang Zu.But Liangzu didn't believe in these moves.He knew that these were just a trick for He Zhu to consolidate his position.Over the years, she has refurbished her tricks, but he has never been serious with her.At this moment, seeing the glass of green wine in front of me, my heart felt a little calmer. Looking at Su Chu and my son again, I thought, there are always these people following me!Holding the wine glass in his hand, he let out a long sigh and said, "Play the card!" The game continues.Liangzu was deep in thought.How did he lose the battle?After the battle, it has been summarized and summarized. There are many reasons, such as a large number of recruits, rushing into battle, lack of communication between the troops, poor organization of military depots, and insufficient logistics supplies.These are all lessons learned from the blood of the Yunnan Army.But with his command, recruits can also cover up their weaknesses.The problem is that he can command soldiers, but not superior officers.The task of his troops at that time was to defend the inside line. He advocated not just passive defense, but to seize the right time to attack and use offense as defense.He suggested several times and went to see the commander of the theater in person to ask for an attack.The officer replied: "The Supreme Command tells us to defend, so we will defend. If we attack, it is good to win the battle. If we lose troops, who will be responsible? Besides, the Supreme Command looks at the overall situation, and its decision-making is not something we can all understand. You don't want to Abandonment of duty, asking for trouble."

"Ha! Ask for trouble!" Liang Zu played a card casually and muttered to himself.Everyone draws their cards mechanically, and no one has succeeded so far. "Ask for trouble!" Liang Zu continued to think. "This is also a kind of spirit! If you don't, you will definitely come up with a set of truths. But I want to ask for trouble, but I can't get it!" He seemed to be standing on the last hill he was guarding, commanding the soldiers Throw the rolling wood and the stone down!Stones and logs rolled down, and the enemy howled.Born as a man, he has the responsibility to guard the territory, not to mention that I am a soldier, a soldier!

The image of a soldier appeared before his eyes.He vaguely felt that his conviction was related to this person.That was his secretary, Qin Yuan, a decent and capable soldier, and a Communist.Liangzu trusted him, so he lost the trust of his superiors. "Is that so? Really?" Liang Zu didn't want to think about this complicated question. He stood up suddenly, walked back and forth on the pine branches and sawdust, and said, "Today, I will make it clear to the whole family. Huishu is not at home, so you tell her." He pointed to Su Chu, "I, Yan Liangzu, became a Decades of heroes are the end. But it doesn’t matter whether you are a hero or a sinner. My heart to defend the country, defend the people, kill the enemy and resist Japan has not changed, and that’s what it is!” He punched his chest hard and sighed. .

Su and He stood up, and Ying Shu went to her father, wanting to say something to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say. Liangzu said to Yingshu: "I don't think you should study history. What's the use? History is all fake!" Yingshu said: "Probably true and false, some are true and some are false. The third uncle has a book dedicated to this issue." "I know that the history written by Meng Fuzhi must be true, even if he kills his head!" Liang Zu said, turning around and walking vigorously up the stairs step by step, and went back to his room.

He Zhu took the glass of snake bile wine and followed, and said to Ying Shu, "Go to sleep for a while, you don't have much time." Su Chu followed to the stairs, and stopped in a daze. "Su Chu! You come up too." Liang Zu stood by the railing upstairs and ordered. Su Chu was taken aback, and was about to go upstairs when He Zhu said. "My wife hasn't washed and tidied up when she came back, so let's rest first." Liang Zu stopped talking.Su Chu only hoped that Liang Zu was safe, and didn't mind other things, so she went back to her room. Liang Zu was lying on the bed, the cups and plates on the small table in front of the window were messed up.He has been drinking all afternoon.In normal times, Hezhu would have complained about the guards, but now she cleans up by herself. After a while she sat by the bed and said, "Since there is nothing to do in the city, why not live with us in Anning. You haven't lived in Anning's house for a few days." "I'd like to go back to Dali. See what can be done." "Go back to Dali!" He Zhu said happily, holding Liang Zu's hand.Dali is the place where they grew up, and it can always arouse many memories. Young Liangzu works with his widowed mother in the village where Hezhu lives.One day, Hezhu was sitting under a big eucalyptus tree outside the village, and Liangzu walked by. The small figure in front of the whirling tree caught Liangzu's eyes.she is crying. "Hey! Why are you crying?" Liangzu said.Sit down beside her.At this time, someone in the village called Hezhu, she wiped away her tears and ran away. Afterwards, they often met here and gradually became acquainted.Hezhu's family raises scorpions and is quite rich.There are more silver ornaments on her head and jingle bells on her body than ordinary girls.But she still cried.She said that she cried because she was not the daughter of her parents, and she was told, "You were picked up in the wild." "How do you prove that you are or are not?" "My father and mother have always been kind to me and never disliked me. But I really picked it up." She stretched out her feet in straw sandals, showing her little toes. "I have this toe in two halves. None of my family members are like that." Liangzu looked at his toes, and sure enough there were no halves.The two halves of the little toe are the signs of the Han people. He felt that this little girl of unknown origin was pitiful and dear, and wanted to protect her very much. Years passed.They live together day by day.There are often lotus beads in the small broken house of Yan's mother and son.She is sweet-talking and quick-handed, helping with this and that.It's just that Yan's mother couldn't understand her, and said behind her back that she was sent by a goblin.Liang Zu said to his mother: "Your house seems to be the first to pick people in the main room sitting on the high steps. Look at our four broken walls, barely covering the roof." , thinking that Hezhu herself and her poison must be harmful to people.Unexpectedly, it was Hezhu who saved Liangzu's life twice. At that time, Yunnan was barren and closed, banditry was rampant, and house robbery happened from time to time.Officials who took office were sometimes hijacked by bandits on the road and could not arrive at their posts.Each village has its own armed forces under the leadership of the chieftain.Liangzu joined the village guard at the age of sixteen. Because of his bravery and cunning, he became the leader of more than a hundred people before he was twenty.Young people show their sharpness, and it is inevitable that people will hate them.A small headman under the chieftain framed him as a bandit.When he and his brothers beat back a group of bandits and were resting outside the village, the leader made arrangements to get rid of him.It just so happened that that day the old lady wanted to use the whole scorpion as medicine, and the lotus beads were sent to deliver the scorpion. When passing by the main room, the headman said: "If Yan Liangzu is not removed, which baby will he take in the future? Could it be that he is the king's chieftain?" One jar of wine today, I’ll finish him off!” He Zhu was startled, seeing a wine jar for the military under the corridor, and an exquisite and beautiful small jar on top of the big one. It was the poisoned wine made by her family. It is made of a poisonous insect, but it has a pleasant name, called Mengchun wine.He Zhu remained calm, delivered Scorpion, and ran all the way to Yan's house, telling Yan's mother the color and characteristics of the wine, saying that it was best not to drink at all.Liangzu was prepared and was able to escape this disaster. Since someone wanted to murder him, Liangzu's life would be difficult.In a quarrel with the leader, he scratched the leader's cheek with a knife, the leader was furious, and even fired two shots, but Liang Zu escaped.The little headman still refused to give up, so Liangzu had no choice but to lead his team and flee into the mountains. It really took a few days for him to live as a bandit.From then on, he often joked that he was from the Green Forest. A few days later, Kunming sent officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits, and Liang Zu became the target of the suppression.He didn't want to resist, so he sent his brothers back to the village and hid in the mountains alone. One day when he was walking on the edge of a cliff, he stepped on the ground and fell.Fortunately, it fell on a bunch of wild bamboos.Liangzu settled down, but how could he go up? "Brother!" Suddenly a girl's voice sounded from the bamboo bushes, it was not someone else but He Zhu! "What did you do? You fell too?" Liangzu was very surprised. "Drug catcher." He Zhu raised the clay pot in his hand, as if they met on the street, "I won't drop it." The lotus beads come down by pulling the grass rope.This rope is tied to the big tree on the edge of the cliff. "Have you caught enough?" "Enough, enough." The lotus beads go up first, and after checking the buckle of the grass rope, let Liang Zu go up.When Liangzu reached the top of the cliff, he took Hezhu's hand and said, "How can I repay you!" Hezhu's indistinct flat face was red and green, which was probably the juice of soil, plants or some insects.She didn't speak. But the mother still objected to the girl.She believed that with Liangzu's intelligence and intelligence, he would be able to form a good relationship.When she was dying, she forced Liangzu to swear never to take Hezhu as his wife. Whether it is a wife or a concubine, they are inseparable.In their relationship, there is nostalgia for the hometown, the struggle of life and death, and the memories of youth. Not to mention the few concubines that the Yan family has changed, even Su Chu is just an outsider. The moon slanted to the west, and the row of flower shadows on the corridor also slanted and faded.It was almost dawn.The Yin Mansion sent a secret letter, instructing Liangzu not to move around, waiting for the punishment to be announced. fourth quarter Relatively speaking, the life on the hill behind Tongtou Village was relatively peaceful. In the temple, everything is very simple, but the sound of books, singing, and young people's talking and laughing make the ruined temple full of vitality.Even the faces of the Four Heavenly Kings are not so ferocious anymore. They are infected and seem to want to say "Hello" to the children at any time. Mei is like other young people, her mind is growing, her body is growing, and her mind is becoming clearer. She likes her school, teachers, classmates, this mountain, this temple, and the gods in the temple.There was only one thing she didn't like - last anniversary week. At that time, the first class of all schools every Monday was Memorial Week. The content was to raise the national flag, sing the national anthem, recite the prime minister’s will, and then the principal and the heads of various departments gave speeches.The students lined up from class to class, from the main hall to the bottom of the steps.The whole class has to stand in silence, what Mei doesn't like is standing in silence.In fact, it's not that she doesn't like it, she can't stand up, she gets dizzy after standing, her legs feel weak, and she really looks forward to something to lean on.She felt that she was worthless, and she always insisted on finishing this lesson. On this day of Remembrance Week, Mei has felt uncomfortable since reciting the Prime Minister's will. "I have devoted myself to the national revolution for forty years. The purpose is to seek freedom and equality in China. After forty years of experience, I know that in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to arouse the people and unite the nations of the world who are waiting for me to work together. ..." She barely supported herself, and recited along with everyone, and she must not collapse while reading the prime minister's will! Next is President Zhang's speech.It's about building a playground.Since Kunjing moved to the countryside, there is no formal playground, and there is not enough flat land on the mountain.Students line up on the brick floor in front of the temple or in the yard in front of the Daxiong Hall and do exercises, which is physical education.Later, I made a basketball stand, and there were two flagpole seats in the middle of the field, so I couldn't play, I could only practice shooting.Principal Zhang solicited donations from all walks of life in the local military, government and business, and decided to build a playground on the next hillside of Yongfeng Temple.At that time, many people objected, saying that during the national crisis, doing so would be contrary to the principle of economy.Principal Zhang said, I will try my best to do everything I do.Education must have three aspects: morality, intelligence and physique.The next generation must have a sound body in order to take on the important task of resisting the enemy and rejuvenating the country.Besides, to build a playground, students also need to participate in labor and do small labor, which is good for their growth.With the assistance of all parties, the playground has been constructed, and the recruited villagers have dug a piece of the mountain corner.During this commemorative week, soil transportation was mobilized, and it was stipulated that everyone from the principal to the high school students should transport a basket of soil to the valley behind Yongfeng Temple every day. How to transport it is up to you. Principal Zhang's voice was clear, but Mei felt that he was getting farther and farther away.She was dizzy and sweaty, and couldn't stand still, so she leaned against Zhao Yuping in front of her. "What's the matter? What's the matter?" Zhao Yuping asked in a low voice.Mei's face was pale, her eyes were closed tightly, and she leaned more and more heavily on Zhao Yuping's body.At this moment, Yan Bulai came over and said, "Meng Lingji, are you not feeling well?" Even a few students helped her back to the dormitory. This is not the first time a student has fainted.Everyone knows that it is caused by anemia, and it will be cured after lying down.Mei lay down for a while, and sure enough, she gradually gained strength.At this time, Principal Zhang had finished his speech, and finally said that students who were not in good health could not participate in the soil transportation. "I want to participate." Mei thought. In the afternoon, the soil transportation began. The high school students carried it on one shoulder, and the two junior high school students carried it.Class 1 of Mei was organized and arranged by Teacher Yan, and they were in groups of two.Originally, boys and girls should be matched according to physical strength, but it was fashionable for middle school students to pair up at that time. It was a kind of collective creation.Teacher Yan does not need to match male and female students, but to separate male and female students.Mei and Zhao Yuping were in a group, both of them were very happy.Teacher Yan repeatedly asked to lift less. The excavated soil is red, and the inner layer of soil is redder and fresher, as if the internal organs of the earth have been dug out.The students carried the soil once, and their bodies were always stained red. Everyone laughed and slapped each other.There are also students who don't take this kind of labor seriously, saying that the school saves money, but we have paid the tuition fees.In any case, each class must complete the task according to the regulations.When the sun was setting, one could see a string of red clay burdens moving slowly among the green trees on both sides of the mountain road. Mei and Zhao Yuping carried a basket of soil, and as soon as they walked out of the playground, they saw Principal Zhang leading Master Yin coming.Dashi stuck out his tongue and made a grimace.Principal Zhang had been wearing a silver-gray suit and skirt, but now he changed into a blue cloth Chinese shirt and trousers. He went to the field to fetch a basket, ordered the master to hold it, and went to dig the soil. "Principal!" "Principal Zhang!" Several people with shovels shouted to fill the soil.Principal Zhang looked around and said, "The soil is transported very quickly. We can start the sports meeting earlier." He and Dashi lifted up the basket and put it on the side close to them.After walking a few steps, the master said, "My side is very light", and wanted to pull the basket over.The principal said, "No, you are still young, you should lift your head lightly." They walked quickly to catch up with the lift in front.One of the people who carried the soil was Wang Tian, ​​a high school student who stole broad beans.She was talking a lot: "I haven't heard of what happened in our school. Who do you think these girl dolls are? They are all young ladies. Ask the young ladies to carry the soil! Carrying the soil is the work of inferior people." She looked back and saw the principal and the senior man behind, and hurriedly shouted "The principal is here too", subconsciously put down her basket, and ran up to carry the basket for the senior man.Principal Zhang shook his head and said, "Hurry up", and Zihe Dashi moved forward. Mei and Zhao Yuping followed.It wasn't until recently that Mei found out that Wang Tian was a distant relative of the Yin family, and half of her coming to school was because the Yin family asked her to take care of her sister and brother.Wang Tian let the principal pass, and slowly untied the rope on the basket.Mei waited for a while, and several loads of burdens followed her.Someone mischievously said, "Good dogs don't get in the way!" Wang Tian didn't mind.Mei suddenly thought of Lu Xiangge, and wondered what was wrong with her.After standing for a while, he passed. Mei waited until he reached Yongfeng Temple and poured the soil into the ditch.The deep ditch was nearly filled with red soil.A man in only a torn waistcoat was raking the freshly poured soil.His long hair and half of his ripped vest were billowing in the evening wind.That's why Yan didn't come. "Teacher Yan, are you the only one raking the soil?" Zhang Yongqiu greeted. Yan Bulai didn't seem to hear it, and just raised the soil vigorously with shovel after shovel.Later people emptied the soil baskets, and some immediately went around to hide and seek among the bushes, and some stood and watched the mountain scenery.Yan Bulai suddenly leaned on his shovel and looked up to the sky and chanted loudly: "If someone looks up to the mountain, wear Xue Li and bring a girl." Then he said, "Drink hard and read "Li Sao" well, and you will be a real celebrity!" Zhang Yin Qiu knew that the teacher was used to being careless and crazy, so she stood with the students and listened to what he had to say. But he stopped talking and began to sing loudly, which was "Hold the weeds with the hoe in your hand, and the weeds will grow after the weeds are hoeed".After raking the soil a few times, he sang the anti-enemy song again, "Who is the master of the splendid country of China? We are 400 million compatriots!" He directed his classmates to sing together, and some of them sang untidyly.He sighed to himself: "I can't keep up! Art education can't keep up!" Turning his head, he suddenly saw Zhang Yongqiu and asked loudly, "Principal Zhang, am I right?" Zhang Yongqiu smiled and said, "If Teacher Yan is willing, he can give lectures, teach songs and poetry, okay?" "I would like to thank you for giving me time." Pointing at Xiang Mei, "You guys have to come and listen." Zhang Yongqiu signaled two high school classmates to jump into the ditch to help rake the soil, and the work was finished in a while.Everyone goes back to the dormitory. Mei, Zhao Yuping and Master Yin walked together.Walking through the newly leveled playground, the three of them were very happy to see the red spread out.Dashi said: "Let's run a race." Three people ran side by side, and Dashi ran the fastest.Mei desperately chased after her, but soon she felt dizzy and forced to run.After running for a while, he didn't pay attention to a stone blocking the way, stumbled, and fell forward.Zhao Yuping yelled loudly from behind her: "Meng Lingji has fallen." She hurried up to help her. Mei hurriedly turned over and sat up, "It's okay, it doesn't matter." She wanted to jump up, but her left knee felt a sharp pain, and she fell to the ground again.The master ran over and stood aside and said, "Two of you, two of you, one bites the snake, the other wrestles, take turns." Mei looked at her knee, it was dripping with blood, and there were some small stones stuck to it.After sitting for a while, the master suddenly remembered, and asked, "Can we go?" He and Yuping stepped forward to help.Mei stood up, crooked and leaned on the two of them and walked back to Yongquan Temple. Go to the bathroom first.The quasi-school doctor looked at it and said, "It's you three again."Rinse Mei with hydrogen peroxide. Seeing that the wound was deep and a piece of flesh turned up, he frowned.After treatment, wrap it with gauze cotton and wrap it with a bandage.Mei's left knee protruded a large piece, like a wounded soldier. At this time, Huishu came.She went home last weekend and returned to school this Monday afternoon.She usually doesn't talk much, and seems to be more reserved and silent these days.Seeing that the Dashi was also accompanying him, he was quite surprised, and said, "Go back to the dormitory. I'm here." The Dashi said, "It's packed, let's go." Then Yan and Zhao supported Mei.Mei couldn't bend her knees, so she hopped and hopped. She laughed to herself first, and Yin and Zhao couldn't help laughing either, and walked in a serious manner. As soon as he entered the dormitory, Xiaowa came running after hearing the news.The little baby has grown taller, his skin is very fair, and his eyebrows and eyes are correct. The housekeeper said that he is really beautiful.The girls in this room all like him and call him Xiaowa.He always protested loudly: "I am Meng Heji." At this time, he ignored everyone's greetings, and only looked seriously at Mei's knee. "Zhao Yuping! You go and serve the meal!" The master gave orders again.Seeing Wang Tian standing aside, he said, "Wang Tin! Get some water to wash your feet!" Hui Shu hurriedly stopped, and said: "Don't bother, you go to eat first, Meng He and I have already greeted you here." When Xiaowa heard about it, she hurriedly picked up the basin and ran out to fetch water.Because everyone always washes with cold water, he first went to the pool where the water was drawn, and after a second thought, he quickly ran to the bathroom.The bathroom door was open, and a hot water bottle was on the table.Xiaowa thought that the things in the clinic should be used by patients, so she poured hot water into the basin and left with it. "Meng Heji stole the water!" Xiaowa's classmate Yin Xiaolong, the Dashi's younger brother, came out of nowhere and yelled. "Who is stealing water! The water in the bathroom is for washing wounds." "When I say you steal water, you steal water!" Xiaolong is a very naughty child, always trying to provoke trouble.The two quarreled for a while, and Xiaolong said: "Go to the river pig, go to the river pig to steal water!" "Old Yunnan ticket! The old Yunnan ticket is abolished!" Furious, Xiaolong jumped forward and hit Xiaowa on the left shoulder.Xiaowa stood firm and carefully held the water. "Listen, Yin Xiaolong, I don't have time to fight with you. Tomorrow, tomorrow we will have a duel." Xiaolong was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, I'll meet you at the mountain gate tomorrow afternoon after class." "It's a deal!" Xiaowa was afraid that the water would get cold, so she hurried away. Mei soaked her feet in the warm water, feeling very comfortable, and smiled at Xiaowa.She didn't know Xiaowa's duel promise for this basin of water. The last time Zhao Yuping was bitten by a snake, people were worried that it would be poisonous. Fortunately, the wound healed quickly and there was no other problem. This time, Mei's injury looked normal and everyone thought it would be healed soon. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Mei had a high fever, her feet hurt all the way to her head, her body weighed a thousand catties, and no matter how she put it, it was not suitable.Mei didn't want to disturb others, so she suppressed herself and fell into a drowsy sleep. When everyone gets up in the morning, they all pass by her bed.Several people exclaimed in amazement: "Meng Lingji's face is so red!" Hui Shu came over to touch it, and it turned out to be hot, so he hurriedly called the associate school doctor.Seeing that Mei was drowsy and her legs were red and swollen, the associate school doctor even said that she was inflamed, and suggested sending her home so that her family could take care of her. At this time, the two dormitory supervisors and Teacher Yan came. Seeing that the weather was gloomy and there would be no alarm, everyone agreed to send them home and find a hospital in the city for convenience.Several people ran up and down the mountain for a while, found a carriage, parked it at the foot of the mountain, let Mei sit on a chair, and two cooks carried it down the mountain. Mei leaned on the chair, and the cool wind blew, sobering up a lot.Seeing many people around, I wanted to smile, but instead I cried, tears dripping down my face.Huishu comforted and said, "It will be fine soon, and I will accompany you back." Mei shook her head and hands vigorously, and said, "No, it's not good. I will take care of myself." The teachers discussed it and were sent by the dormitory supervisor. Xiaowa has been standing aside, people thought he would fight to go home together, but he just stood quietly, his black and white eyes were full of concern and anxiety. "Xiaowa, what's the matter?" Mei asked, wiping her tears with the lapel of her shirt. "I'm fine. Miss, I can see you the day after tomorrow." Xiaowa said with a firm tone. Mei wanted to exhort a few words, but she didn't have the energy.Suddenly, I felt a strange cold rushing into my body, and I started to tremble, shaking non-stop. "Could it be a sway?" Teacher Yan said to himself.While urging to lift up the chair, he asked Xiaowa to go to class.Everyone went down the mountain. Passing by Yongfeng Temple, just as a get out of class was over, the students ran across the bridge to see it.Master Yin was wearing a moon white cloth cheongsam, which was very ordinary, but he was wearing a hollowed-out coat of unknown material, which was very conspicuous among his classmates.She took Mei's hand and said, "Don't shake it, don't shake it." Then she said, "My idea is bad, I shouldn't be running a race." Everyone was surprised that the master would say such a thing.Mei said forcefully, "I fell on my own, it has nothing to do with you." Huishu sent it straight to the foot of the mountain, and helped spread a piece of cotton wool for Mei to lie down.Suddenly asked: "Why don't you see Zhuang Wuyin?" Really, why don't you see Brother Wuyin?Mei thought, then remembered, and said, "He has to prepare for the university entrance examination for the equivalent education, so he won't come to school." Hui Shu bowed his head and remained silent. The house warden sat beside Mei.The carriage left, hoofbeating loudly, along the narrow dirt road.Mei didn't have the strength to look at anything.This time the chills passed, and she fell asleep again. The car creaked and creaked halfway, and it started to rain.The driver put his oilskin raincoat on Mei.The housekeeper sat next to the coachman, holding an umbrella, but the umbrella was not big enough, and half of their shoulders were wet. "Hurry up! Hurry up!" the dormitory supervisor urged. This carriage.You can't go fast despite urging.Fortunately, the rain was not very heavy, and it stopped and stopped.After finally getting to the city, it was almost noon.They came all the way to Ancestral Hall Street, and the housekeeper found Bi Chu in the attic. Only Bi Chu was at home. Bi Chu rushed down to the attic in three steps and two steps, threw herself to the side of the carriage, and hugged Mei. Seeing that she was drowsy and still breathing, she took a breath.Immediately decided to use this car to go to Zedian Hospital.The dormitory supervisor made it clear and went back to school. Bichu took the applied clothes and left a note for Fuzhi.Sitting in the car, hugging Mei, gently wiped Mei's hands and face with a wet towel.Mei slowly woke up.Very slowly, like rising from the bottom of the valley.She's by her mother's side!Where could be safer and more comfortable! "Mom!" Mei called out, her voice bursting out from her flushed face, full of emotion. "Mei has suffered! Mei has suffered!" Bi Chu shook her. "Let's go to the hospital, it'll be fine when we get to the hospital—it'll be fine, it'll be fine—" Mei was dazed in the voice of being fine, feeling as if she was floating on a clear and gentle lake. She woke up suddenly again, and a heavy voice woke her up.It was a sentence: "First pay a deposit of 600 yuan!" Mei was quite awake, and she was already lying on a bench in the hospital.She saw her mother talking at the window of the registration office.That sentence was thrown out of the window.She wanted to answer, but her answer was: "Mom, I don't want medical treatment, we don't have money, so I don't want medical treatment!" Bi Chu looked back at her, shook her hand, and negotiated with the registration office. "I brought more than 500 yuan, and it's still close, and it will be delivered in a while. Please treat the child first!" She took out all the cash at home, five hundred and fifty-nine yuan and eighty-seven cents.That was 1939.In another year, I will not be able to get fifty yuan. The money was pushed out of the window, and the window slammed shut.Bi Chu was stunned for a moment, and decided to go to the director of the hospital. At this time, a man in a white coat came over, glanced at Bichu, and said, "Isn't this Mrs. Meng?" Then he introduced himself, his surname is Huang, he is a surgeon, and he once asked a friend to ask for Mr. Meng's calligraphy.Knowing Mei's illness, he said with emotion: "People like you can't even live in a hospital!" Immediately, he pushed Mei to the consulting room with a flat cart for examination. Bacteria triggers.Chills are caused by a large number of bacteria entering the blood.She didn't pay a deposit either, so she was sent to the hospital. There are two people in the ward, and Mei lives alone.This was arranged by Dr. Huang through the director of surgery.People respect the universities they have moved to and are willing to help them.Bichu said silently: "Hello people from Yunnan! Hello people from Kunming!" Arranging Mei to sleep, a nurse came to give an injection. The injection was penicillin, which was a very precious medicine at that time. Seeing that Mei was sleeping peacefully, Bi Chu went back to Ancestral Hall Street to raise money, but she didn't want to owe the deposit.After walking uphill and downhill for a while, I remembered that I hadn't eaten lunch yet, so I bought three bait pieces from the side of the street.The bait pieces are made of rice flour, baked piece by piece over charcoal fire, and then eaten with some condiments.Bi Chu refused to chew along the street, and walked home with the food. Fuzhi was meeting him at the door of the building, and said, "I'm leaning on the door to look. What's wrong with Mei?" "It's erysipelas. The treatment has already started, so it's okay." The two sat opposite each other, eating bait to satisfy their hunger, discussing how to ask first. The school borrowed some money and tried another method. Bi Chu said: "Some time ago, I asked my elder sister to sell a bracelet to make up for it for a while. Let's sell another one. I don't know when elder sister will come back from Anning." "I had a meeting with Mr. Qin in the morning and heard about Liang Zu." Fuzhi said hesitantly. "What's the matter with Liang Zu?" Bi Chu hurriedly asked, putting down the bait. Fuzhi said: "You just eat. He said that the Supreme Command dismissed him from the position of army commander." "Oh!" Bi Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought I was injured on the battlefield or something happened." "Keeping him out of the field, I think it's worse than getting hurt or something." "But why?" "Because he lost the battle. But I think it's not just because of this. Do you remember that Liang Zu and Dad got along very well?" "Because of thought?" "It probably has something to do with it." The two were silent, both feeling heavy.Mei's illness was nothing more than a family problem, and Liang Zu's resignation was not bad for the individual, but it showed dissonance in the high spirit of fighting against the enemy and fighting against Japan.This kind of dissonance will definitely become bigger and bigger, which is related to the fate of the country and the nation. Mei received preferential treatment in the hospital and the treatment went well.Family, relatives and classmates come to visit.On Sunday, Bichu came with her baby.Xiaowa's left eye socket was bruised. "What's the matter?" Mei hurriedly asked. "It fell." Xiaowa covered her face with her hands and replied vaguely. "Why did you even hurt your eye socket?" "Just say it, it looks like it was shot. No matter how much you ask, you won't tell." Bichu put away her things and went to the doctor. Xiaowa looked around and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you, Yin Xiaolong and I fought. I won the fight. My father-in-law taught us boxing!" "Why fight? It's always wrong to fight." "He wants to fight. - Because of a basin of water." So he told me about using hot water. Mei was silent for a while, then said, "I was just wondering, where did the hot water come from!—Where else was hurt? Where was Yin Xiaolong hurt?" "It's the right eye socket. We drew two lines on the field outside the mountain gate and played in the middle. Whoever retreats past the line loses." "He lost? Did he not blame him?" "A lot of people are watching. He didn't want to complain. He obeyed the rules." "They are all aboveboard men!" Mei laughed. "Mother is here! Stop talking." Xiaowa shook her hand.Bi Chu came in with a worried expression on her face. When Su Chu came with Hui Shu, both of them looked a little strange.Su and Bi spoke in a low voice.Su Chu informed that Liangzu's punishment has been announced, he will be dismissed and stay in Kunming, and he can move around in the province.Selling bracelets can be handed over to the adjutant.The whole family is going to live in Anning for a while, and Hui Shu will also go.Come back during the final exam.Bi Chu told me that Mei's illness was not limited to erysipelas, but also severe anemia and mild tuberculosis, which required long-term recuperation.Huishu sat and rubbed a handkerchief, not talking much.She brought a book "The Hard Work of a Bitter Child" for Mei, and four mangoes from Dashi Yin. Su and Hui had just left, and Fuzhi and E arrived.It was almost noon, and the red ball was hung out.The Meng family reunited in the small ward, not wanting to run the alarm.Mei said it was best for everyone to leave and leave her alone.Bichu said: "The hospital will not be bombed, there is a big red cross on the roof." E said coldly: "That can't be sure." There was no air raid siren and the ball was taken down. "We really have to move to the countryside." Bichu decided in her heart.
