Chapter 29 4. Liu Guaizi

No one would have thought that as soon as my uncle returned to his hometown, he would become the head of the security guard at the bottom of the slope. The old man at Podi still remembered that Liu Guaizi, the former chief security officer who was replaced by his uncle, was also a character.He had no mother since he was a child, and was the son of Liu Dahan, the father of He Ye's parents.The second elder brother who was in charge of He family's farming affairs, He Ye's second elder brother, saw that he was pitiful, so he asked him to live with Liu Dahan in the long-term house and work with the long-term laborer.When he was twelve years old, he went up the mountain to graze sheep, fell from the cliff and broke his left leg.An old shepherd connected him with a broken bone, and when the bone grew back, he realized that he had made a wrong connection.Leaving his "broom leg", he staggered to find the old shepherd, inserted his leg into the sheepfold, snapped it, and broke the long-growing bone again, saying: "You give me another Pick it up!" The old shepherd was taken aback and said, "This is not a bench leg, don't break it if you want, and I'll fix it for you if I want it?" Master He saw it and said, "Oh , This child has such a cruel heart at such a young age, and he will be a character when he grows up!" So he found a bone setter and reattached the broken bone for him.But the broken bone told him not to go out of shape. After he grew up, his left leg was three points shorter and he walked with a slight limp. Everyone called him "little kidnapper".

The shopkeeper of the He family——He Ye's eldest brother is in charge of the business of the He family, and runs the tobacco and dyeing workshops.Master He brought the little kidnapper to the dyeing workshop and handed it over to Zhang Xian'er for training.Accountant Xian'er said: "How many apprentices can't take me with you? Why do you ask me to take a crutch to herd the sheep?" He took over the chores of making tea for Zhang Xianer, loading hookahs, and stacking fire matchers.What is particularly worth mentioning is that he carried a scratching trap with him, and when he saw Tan Xianer rubbing on the back of the chair, he would limping over, lifted up Tan Xianer's gown, and stuck it into the scratching chair. The scabbard scratched along Tan Xianer's spine all the way, scratching every joint, and then moved to the two ridges under the shoulder blades and scratched hard, until the scratch made Xianer shrug his shoulders, stretch his neck and twist his waist, and stretched his whole body. Stretching, smooth blood, squinting happily and sucking the wind "sizzling" from the gap between the teeth, unconsciously, my stomach is rumbling, full of formulas for planning, rules of accounting, and tricks of mental arithmetic. The tickle was scratched out.Zhang Xian'er found a complete set of elementary school textbooks for Xiao Guaizi, told him to study with his own children, and also licensed him an oil lamp that could be refilled with two lamp grasses.When the little kidnapper was sixteen years old, he was already able to play the abacus without stopping, and he also learned the unique skill of abacusing with both hands at the same time. Seeing that he had become another accountant in Podi Town, he left without saying goodbye. , went to the county seat and was admitted to a simple teacher's school, and secretly joined the Communist Party.

Accountant Xian'er said: "I have taught you the knowledge of bookkeeping and planning, my son, for nothing!" The kidnapper said: "Why do you know how to teach for nothing? You can't do anything without calculations in this world." Zhang Xian'er asked again: "Then why did you go to the teacher's school? Do you want to be the king of children?" Kidnap said: "The teacher doesn't charge tuition fees, but takes care of my meals and teaches me how to coax children. Who in the world doesn't like coaxing?" Hearing this, Master He was taken aback and said, "This kid is really extraordinary!"

As soon as Liu Guaizi graduated from Jianshi, Master He asked him to work as a clerk in the security brigade for two years, and then he greeted the district chief Li Zidong and asked him to be the security chief at the bottom of the slope.Master He never expected that once the kidnapper gained real power, he would immediately show the appearance of a villain, and take Baoding with him, besides showing the old humility to the He family compound, he would treat the dye workshop and oil workshop of the He family Retaining a certain degree of respect, the slightly larger shops on Podi Street hurriedly gave him "dry stocks", and those who set up street stalls at every market had to declare taxes to him.In just one year, he broke down a restaurant opposite the Baogong Office, smoked opium, hooked up with a woman nicknamed "Big White Tao", and arrested the honest man of "Big White Tao".

The linker of the underground party organization talked to him and said, "Traitor, why are you more Kuomintang than the Kuomintang?" He smiled and said, "My revolution has been successful, but your revolution still needs to be worked hard. We each carry out our own revolution. Provoke!" The contact said: "I really don't understand, why did you join the Communist Party in the first place?" He smiled and said: "What's so strange about that? How is this different from joining the Youth and Red Gangs?" Uncle replied Before arriving in his hometown, the underground party organization specially reminded him that Liu Guaizi had been expelled from the party and he must be on high alert.

Master He is not at home often, so he doesn't know that Liu Guaizi is doing evil.Liu Dahan, Liu Guaizi's father, deliberately went to Master He and reported: "Third shopkeeper, you have to take Kidnap down. He was a wolf boy since he was a child. Really, he bites!" His evil deeds, but he couldn't find a replacement for him for a while.After my uncle came out of the cloth bag, Master He's eyes lit up, well, there is someone!I'll ask my little pony to go out for a walk to see if he's the material for driving a shaft! The uncle reported his father's intentions to the higher party organization, which was immediately approved.

However, Master He told his son: "To take Liu Guaizi down, I only need to say a word. But if you want to start a revolution, you have to rely on yourself, right? I want to see how your revolution is started, and you want to make trouble with Liu Guaizi!" After coming down, you can’t use yourself as a gunman, and you can’t make yourself a ruthless opponent as soon as you come back. He still has a group of people under him!” The uncle said, “Father, you told me to kill him, but you still don’t tell me to kill him. Offend him, and the October Revolution in Russia did not encounter such a problem!" Master He said: "Then you can ask your Lenin how to deal with the revolution at Podi. The length is yours."

One night, Liu Guaizi slipped into Da Baitao's room to sleep again, with the lights still on, and Da Baitao was shivering and screaming.In the small courtyard, branches scraped against the tiles with a "cha la la" sound.Da Baitao hurriedly stopped and said, "Brother Li, get up quickly and have a look, is the door bolt in place, is the door stick on top?" Liu Guaizi said, "I inserted it for you, this is your door stick!" As he spoke, he panted heavily, and Da Baitao screamed again... Da Baitao was screaming uncontrollably, when there was a sound of landslides and ground cracks, the door of the house fell from the pier, and several big men jumped in with a "thumb tom", the leader pointed a gun at Liu Guaizi and said, "Go ahead, go ahead, When you're done, follow me to the UNPROFOR office."

Liu Guaizi remained motionless while pressing Da Baitao, but turned his eyes, "Oh, it's Captain Sun, please sit down! It's a big deal, let me finish it..." As he said, he smashed the oil lamp with his fist, Reaching under the pillow for the gun. The flashlight flicked on. Captain Sun pressed his hand, took the gun away, and said, "No hurry, no hurry, just keep doing it, I'll wait for you!" Da Baitao burst into tears and said: "My surname is Sun, I have served you a lot, you are so cruel!" Liu Guaizi said: "Captain Sun, for a woman, it's not worth it!"

Captain Sun said: "It's the district chief who has something important to ask you, but I ran into him." Liu Guaizi and Da Baitao were about to get dressed, but they were pinned down on the bed by several hands. Captain Sun said: "You don't need to wear it. I heard that your guy is one size bigger than other guys. Her two 'big white peaches' are also the best in the world. Let everyone see and see!" He tied it with a rope. Two "bare-bellied grasshoppers" were escorted to the district government. Then, District Mayor Li Zidong held a public meeting at the bottom of the slope, announcing that Liu Guaizi would be dismissed from the position of security chief, and at the same time, my uncle would be appointed as security chief.

Master He praised his son: "Unexpectedly, you knocked Liu Guaizi down on a woman!" The uncle said: "This is the idea of ​​my friends, it's a bit unhygienic!" "You can't wear white gloves when you are making a revolution!" Master He said, "The hundreds of families at the bottom of the slope, as well as the hundreds of guns of the security team, have been handed over to you. There is a famine right now, and people are about to starve to death. You say you want to mobilize the people to resist Japan, but you can’t tell the people to beat the devils with dog-beating sticks for fleeing from famine! I still want to see, why do you think you are this ‘plasterer’?” The newly appointed Baochang burned "three fires".The first fire was that he was also the captain of the security team, and he grabbed more than a hundred guns into his hands; the second fire was to appoint underground members of the Communist Party of China and progressive youths to serve as security clerks, accountants, security team members, and chiefs of various armors; The third fire burned on my father's head, "Father, please donate ten shi of grain for disaster relief. I will go to Guanye Temple to hold a pledging meeting for rich households. Please go to the meeting and take the lead." At the rich household pledge meeting, my uncle called my father's name and said, "Mr. He Yushun donated ten shi of grain!" He stared and said, "Your Excellency Baochang, when did I agree to ten shi of grain?" shock.Someone was about to make a fuss, but Master He said, "Don't make a fuss! My family's food is managed by his second uncle. Just now I cleared the warehouse with his second uncle. I want to add two shi, twelve shi for donated grain, six A thousand catties!" The starving crowd applauded with tears in their eyes.The heads of wealthy households were all dumbfounded, and they had no choice but to act according to He Ye's eyes. They all bit the bullet, raised their hands and pledged to donate, and donated more than 30,000 catties of grain in one fell swoop.Only the shopkeeper of "Huixuntang" claimed to be a medicine shop opened by "Zhang Dahu" in another village on Podi Street, holding a hookah and keeping silent.Uncle ignored him and just said: "The meeting is over!" The shopkeeper of Huichuntang left the venue, and suddenly saw hundreds of hungry people surrounded the "Huichuntang", but they didn't make any noise, but just stared at him like a hungry wolf, which made him feel scared, but he couldn't enter the house , I rushed up to my uncle in a panic and said, "I pledge, I pledge, I donate two shi of grain!" My uncle didn't seem to hear, and walked on as usual.He ran behind and said, "Master He Bao, I'll add another five buckets!" The uncle still ignored him.He slapped himself, "Come on, I'm not enough, I'll donate three stones!" The uncle stopped and announced to the victims: "Four stones from Huichuntang!" The shopkeeper of Huichuntang was stunned and said: " What, four stones?" My uncle said, "Yes, two thousand catties." The shopkeeper of Huichun Hall cupped his hands and said, "Come on, I admit it!" The victims gave him a way out of the way.The shopkeeper of Huichuntang bowed to everyone while walking home, "Forgive me, forgive me a lot!" Gentle cooking smoke rose from the clear pot and cold stove in Podi Town. Master He called his son by his nickname and said, "Shengzi, as long as your Communist Party does this, it will work!" Shengzi said, "Father, thanks to your good head!" Master He said: "Don't think I don't understand, I have a united front with you." The united front of the father and son quickly spread to the county seat, and L County Middle School became the leadership center of the underground party in the whole county.Podi Township became "Little Yan'an" in the northern mountainous area of ​​L County. In 1938, Sanyi came back from Yan'an Shanbei Public School to study, and also came to the bottom of the slope to connect with the party, and became a Chinese teacher at Guandi Temple Primary School.She organized an anti-Japanese theater troupe to mobilize the people to resist Japan and save the nation.Uncle Mingbiao, who was in elementary school at the time, remembered that Aunt San called the singing team up on the stage of Guan Ye Temple, and the singing team played Guan Ye's "Qinglong Yanyue Knife" and sang "The big knife cuts off the devils' heads" .Third Aunt held a thin stick in her hand and shook it.Podi people know that singing needs someone to direct, and that women can also conduct.That song sang all over the bottom of the slope. At that time, my uncle was the head of the united front of the underground county party committee.The third aunt likes to take a walk with him beside the small river to the east of Guandi Temple.There are dense poplar forests growing on both sides of the river.Under a poplar tree where the two of them stayed many times, an observant and expressive student used a pencil sharpener to carve his artistic discoveries into the bark, letting it grow with the poplar , It was a sharp arrow that pierced two stacked hearts.
