Chapter 65 64

The camp in the lamb pen was chaotic, everyone's eyes were shining, everyone's heart was blooming, and everyone's face was smiling; their mouths, ears, and hearts were all moving.They want to shout, dance, drink, have a party.Fang Liu, the black-haired boy, became the most important person. Everyone gathered around him, pulling his skirts and sleeves and asking him to talk about the strange double meeting in the theater, gunshots, death, chairs, brains, bombs, chaos, casualties …If you understand it, ask him to say it again, if you don’t hear it, you can’t bear to leave him, as if just looking at him is also very enjoyable; he is a hero, an angel—bringing good news to everyone.

Fang Liu, before this, had already become a "big man".In terms of ability, he is only a second-rate and third-rate cross talk talker, except for the cross talk artists in big teahouses and bookstores who are invited to Tianjin and Shanghai, and he temporarily sets up a table for him. He is always in Tianqiao, Dong'an Market, Longfu Temple or Go to the Huguo Temple to place a stall.He rarely had the opportunity to attend congregations. However, the fall of Peiping changed his luck.One of his friends gained a position in the Xinmin Association.From this friend, he got the chance to go on the radio.From this friend, he knew how to work hard—"You memorized the Four Books quickly!" The friend told him. "The Japanese believe in the Four Books because they are old things. As long as you have four sentences in each cross talk, the Japanese will hire you to broadcast forever! If you broadcast frequently, you will also go to big teahouses and big bookstores to do business , you will be the leader!"

Fang Liu began to recite the Four Books.He clearly knew that quoting sentences from the Four Books would not be popular with the audience, because today's college and middle school students, and civil servants and even teachers who have turned from college and middle school students have never read the Four Books.In the jokes he knew, there were places where the four books were used to make fun of, such as: "If the emperor is not the emperor, Cheng Yaojin; if the minister is not the minister, the big fire wheel; Six people, six or seven young people", it means that among the seventy-two sages, thirty are married, forty-two are not married, and so on.Whenever he used these "allusions", the audience - except for a few old people - were all stunned, not knowing what was so ridiculous about it.However, he believed his friend's words.He knows that this is the world of the Japanese, as long as the Japanese are willing to hire him to broadcast for a long time because he can use the Four Books, he will have a job.He memorized the Four Books by heart.When he explained, some of them were quite ridiculous, and some of them were not interesting.However, he doesn't care about the audience, his eyes are only on the Japanese.Every time he broadcasts, he will hand in the lecture topic: "Zizi said to learn", "Zengzi said, I will examine myself three times in a day", or "My parents are not far away, and there must be a way to travel"... Japanese people are very Satisfied, he secured his job.At the same time, he no longer goes to the street stalls, but big restaurants are vying to invite him—not because of his ability, but because of his relationship with the Japanese.At the same time, he is also enthusiastically participating in the literary and art associations and all other cultural gatherings.He became a man of culture.

He was an usher in the charity fundraiser.He saw it all and was not hurt.His mouth can speak, and he loves to speak.It is inconvenient for him to hide something from the Japanese.Although he ate Japanese food, he did not sell his soul to the Japanese.In particular, it was Xiaowen and his wife who died, which moved him.Although he does not travel with the young couple and does not have much contact with each other, but in the end they and he are both entertainers, and he cannot help but feel sad when the rabbit dies and the fox is sad. Everyone unanimously expressed regret for Xiaowen and his wife. They even went to the No. 6 courtyard and looked in through the window of the east room. They felt that the tables and chairs in the room were very sacred.However, what excited them the most was that Zhaodi was taken away by the military and police while wearing an opera costume, and Guan Xiaohe and Gao Yituo were also taken away.

They also saw the big red bag.Her hat with wild chicken feathers was askew on her head, and only half of the chicken feathers remained.Half of her fox fur robe was wet, as if a pot of tea had been poured over it.She was bare-socked, and held "one" high-heeled shoe in her left hand.The powder on her face has completely fallen off, revealing piles of freckles.She still has a great style, so it is even more ridiculous.She didn't have Gao Yituo to support her, nor Zhaodi to follow, nor Xiaohe to hold the windbreaker and purse behind her.She was alone, with bare socks, and limped into No. 3 like a female monster who had just been kicked out by the demon king.

Cheng Changshun couldn't care less about it.He also huddled in the crowd, listening to Fang Liu's eloquent narration.After listening, he immediately reported to grandma.Sun Qi's myopia seems not only not nearsighted, but also able to see through; after listening to Fang Liu's words, he seems to be able to see from a distance that Xiaohe and Yituo are being poured with kerosene by the Japanese in prison, crushed with sticks, and knocked out. teeth.He is happy, he must invite Changshun to drink.Chang Shun hasn't learned how to drink yet, but Sun Qi is very firm: "I'm drinking your wedding wine! How dare you say no!" He went to tell Mrs. Ma, "Old lady, tell me, teach Chang Shun'er to drink a glass of wine." , wedding party!"

"What kind of wedding wine?" The old lady asked inexplicably. Sun Qi laughed out loud. "Old lady, they—" he pointed to No. 3, "they were all locked away by the military police, why don't we hurry up and do our business?" Old lady Ma understood what Sun Qi said, but she was still a little confused rest assured. "They have power, what if they are released in two days?" "Then, they don't dare to bully us any longer!" Madam Ma said nothing more.She thought in her heart: her grandson should get married, sooner or later this matter must be done, why not do it now?Although Mrs. Cui is a widow, she can wash, work and endure hardships, and she has a good temper and appearance.Besides, Mrs. Cui already knew about this and she didn't express her firm objection. If she didn't mention a word from now on, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her, how can everyone live in the same courtyard?There is no other way, things have to go as they come.She nodded to Sun Qi.

The next afternoon, a distant relative of Xiaowen's hip bone moved all the things of Wen's family.This caused everyone's injustice.First, they want to ask, have the bodies of Xiaowen and his wife been buried?Second, according to whose and what last words, come to move things?These words in the heart are gradually uttered from everyone's mouths, and then slowly manifested in actions.Fourth Master Li, Fang Liu, and Sun Qi all came out at the same time to stop that distant relative.He had no choice but to agree to buy a coffin. However, the bodies of Xiaowen and his wife have not been found.The Japanese had thrown them outside the city and fed them to wild dogs.Japanese revenge is merciless to the dead.Fourth Master Li had nothing to say, so he could only watch the Wen family's things being carried away angrily.

Ruifeng saw that the black-haired Fang Liu was in the limelight, and he was unwilling to be lonely, so he wanted to tell everyone what he had heard and seen.However, old man Qi stopped him: "You don't go out! Your face is blue and purple. What if the detectives see you and say you are a prisoner? You sit at home!" Ruifeng had no choice but to squat At home, I told my sister-in-law and the children what I had seen and heard in the theater, and felt that I was a hero who dared to take risks and had seen big battles. Da Chi Bao was satisfied with Tong Fang's death.Tongfang's body has been abandoned outside the city together with Xiaowen and his wife.Da Chibao thought this was the most suitable destination for Tongfang.She decided not to allow anyone to hold a funeral for Tong Fang, firstly to relieve hatred, and secondly to avoid suspicion-good guy, if you want to teach the Japanese that Tong Fang is from the Guan family, that's okay!She told Gao Di and the male and female servants not to go outside and say that it was Tong Fang who died beside Wen Ruoxia, but only to say that Tong Fang abducted the gold and silver jewelry and ran out.She also reported the case to Inspector Bai.

This ended Tong Fang, and she began to run around to rescue Zhaodi, Yi Tuo, and Xiao He as soon as possible. She went to find Lan Dongyang.Dongyang has already been reprimanded because of his ineffective handling of affairs, and he has recorded a big mistake.From being demerited and reprimanded, he imagined being dismissed and lost his job.He was afraid, he panicked, he was worried, he wished he could bite off a piece of meat!His eyeballs are constantly rolled up, and there is a tendency that they will never fall down again.He must try to catch the murderer so that he can atone for his crime and remain a celebrity.Seeing the big red bag coming, he immediately thought, okay, let's take the Guan's family for surgery!There is no doubt that Tong Fang has a deceitful disease; he must also bite Zhao's younger brothers, Yi Tuo and Xiao He, and insist that the Guan family is scrambling to assassinate the military officer of the imperial army.

Da Chibao was indeed moved, Zhaodi was her favorite, and Gao Yituo was her "kind of" lover.She had to get them out immediately.She didn't care much about Xiaohe, because Xiaohe hadn't got an official position until now, so she was almost a waste.If unfortunately Xiaohe died in prison, she would not be very sad.Maybe, she also promised to remarry Yituo after his death!She has a broad heart and a far-sighted vision, and she can see how far away she is at a glance.However, now that she is rushing to rescue Zhaodi and Yituo, she is too embarrassed to drag Xiaohe out.Although she felt very uncomfortable, she still swaggered when she saw Dongyang.She is not one to frown easily. "Dongyang!" She yelled with a big face, as if she didn't have any big things in her heart, "Dongyang! Any news?" Dongyang's face twitched and his body couldn't stop twisting, he looked like a gecko that had eaten cigarette oil.He decided not to answer anything.His eyes were on his heart, and his heart became a poison. Seeing that Dongyang was silent, Da Chibao and Fat Juzi chatted a few words.Fat Juzi has a large body and is easy to be touched, so she suffered a lot of injuries. Although they were not serious, she had lost her temper with Dongyang several times—as the wife of the director, she was easily bruised by others , her spiritual loss is much greater than her physical loss.Since becoming the chief's wife, intentionally or not, she has achieved quite a lot in imitating the big red bag.She is proud, arrogant, defiant, and tries to put on airs everywhere.She hates Dongyang's dirty, mean, and endless sexual demands.However, she refused to give up "Mrs. Director" easily.Therefore, she can only get angry and lose her temper with Dongyang and others in order to vent her grievances. She likes to chat with Da Chi Bao.She was originally a "disciple" of Da Chi Bao, but now she is on an equal footing with Da Chi Bao, so she feels proud.At the same time, in terms of experience, age, and ostentation, she had to give way to Da Chibao, so she had to ask Da Chibao for advice.Although sometimes, she longed for Da Chibao's death so that she could dominate Beiping, but when she saw Da Chibao, she seemed to be unable to bear to curse her old friend, and felt that the two of them together might be powerful. Be bigger. Da Chi Bao is not going to chat with Ju Zi much today, she still has to run around.Fat Juzi is willing to go out with her.She is not happy squatting at home, accepting or losing her temper - Dongyang has been suing her forehead for the past two days, if she doesn't lose her temper, he will come back.Da Chibao is also willing to have Chrysanthemum to accompany her on the run, because the two faces are of course twice as effective when they are together.Chrysanthemum was busy applying well-known ointment and panacea on her body, preparing to accompany Da Chibao on the expedition. Dongyang stopped Juzi.Without an explanation, he simply forbade her to go out.Chrysanthemum's fat face was as red as a sea crab. "Why? Why?" She asked angrily. Dongyang didn't make a sound, but just gnawed on his fingernails.After being asked anxiously by Juzi, he said: "I don't allow you to go out!" Da Chibao could see that Dongyang forbade Juzi to go out with her.She was very upset, but she still maintained her strength and said with a forced smile, "Forget it! I'll go alone!" Chrysanthemum turned her face and insisted on following the guest.Dongyang, who doesn't know what is polite, what is called rules, told the truth: "I don't allow you to go out with her!" The big red face turned red, and the freckles turned into some small grapes, gray with purple. "What's the matter, Dongyang? Seeing that I'm a bit out of order, are you going to avoid me right away? Tell you, the old lady can't teach this to stump you! Huh, I'm blind and treat you as a friend You have to know that the purpose of recruiting your younger brother to appear on the stage is to praise you! Don’t forget to be grateful! You count how many meals you have eaten, how many wines and coffees you have drunk from me? To put it in a bad way, I Feed those things to the dog, and it will wag its tail when it sees me!" Da Chibao thought she was great at first, but when she scolded someone, it wasn't because she couldn't find great words, and only Meals and coffee come to mind.This made her feel a little out of place, but she had to keep on cursing in a tone of voice. Dongyang is confident that he has a rich imagination, and he will definitely think of Guangwei's words to counterattack.However, he only remembered: "I bought something for you!" "You bought it! Not bad! A pack of peanuts, two cold persimmons! Tell you, don't be so arrogant, the old lady knows what it is !" After finishing speaking, Da Chibao grabbed the bag, sneered twice, and walked out swaggeringly. Fat Juzi didn't know what to do.In terms of friendship, she was really unhappy that Dongyang treated the big red bag like that.She felt that Da Chibao was somewhat more personal and cuter than Dongyang.However, the scolding of the big red bag also included her to some extent. After all, she is Dongyang's wife, why didn't she teach Dongyang to be more generous, and Lao Bai eats and drinks for nothing?Although Da Chibao scolded Dongyang, she was also implicated in it—Fat Juzi.She's a woman who values ​​a cup of coffee more than friendship when they quarrel with each other.For this, she was unwilling to open fire with Dongyang.However, if you don't open fire with him, you will lose your prestige.She could only stare blankly with a fat face. Dongyang is good at hiding words in his heart, and he doesn't want to tell the truth.However, in order to avoid his wife's anger, he decided to reveal a little news. "Tell you! I want to fight her. I will benefit from defeating her!" Then, he expressed his feelings in poetic language. Chrysanthemum didn't quite agree with his plan at first.Yes, the big red bag is sometimes domineering and embarrassing.However, they are friends after all, how can they turn their faces against each other?She thought for a while, unable to make up her mind.In the end, she agreed with Dongyang's opinion.Well, it's not necessarily a bad thing to beat the big red bag and make yourself the number one female bully in Beiping Tianzi.In this chaotic year and situation, she thought, only being cruel is the key to success.If she hadn't dumped Ruifeng cruelly, would she have become the chief's wife?cannot!Well, since she and the big red bag are both dignified people in the "new era", why should she insist on holding the big red bag and let herself sit in the second place?She smiled, she accepted Dongyang's opinion and was willing to help him. There was also a little smile on Dongyang's green face.The couple got closer and muttered for a long time.They must report that Tongfang is from the Guan family and teach the Japanese to suspect the Guan family.Then they tried to plant the blame in many ways, fabricated evidence, and put Da Chibao to death.Even if she can't die, they will definitely get rid of her strengths, so that she will no longer feel proud. "Yes! As long as you bite her, the case will be settled. My position will be secure. And you, you should go to exercise and take over the position of director!" Fat Juzi's eyes lit up .She didn't expect Dongyang to have so many ideas, and she thought of teaching her to be a director!From the time she met Dongyang to the time she married him, she never really liked him once.Today, she felt that he was indeed a lovely person. Not only did he give her the director's wife, but he also taught her to be a director!In addition to the grandeur, she also saw the whole pile of banknotes flying towards her like yellow sand being blown by a strong wind.As long as she works as the director of the Prostitute Inspection Office for a year or two, her life will not be a problem for the rest of her life.Once she has that confidence, she will be the freest woman, Lan Dongyang can no longer interfere with her actions, she can do whatever she wants without any restraint!She kissed Dongyang's green face.She really liked him today.After the matter is successful, she will trample him under her feet and clean him up like a bug. She immediately put on her best clothes and was ready to go out for activities. She could no longer be lazy, but had to straighten up her fat body to find that fat job.When the errand is done, she will be even more lazy, even washing her face can ask a maid to do it for her, that is a blessing.Ruixuan heard about the "riot" in the theatre, and the deaths of Xiaowen, his wife and Tongfang.He felt sorry for Tongfang.Mr. Qian once told him to take care of her.He didn't try his best.Apart from this shame, he wasn't excited about it.Yes, he knew that Xiaowen and his wife died unjustly; but, didn't his own father die unjustly?If he can't avenge his father, he doesn't need to express his indignation for other people's wrong.In a sense, he thought that both Xiaowen and his wife could be regarded as artists, and it was a pity that they both died.However, if artists just resign themselves to their fate and live in troubled times without resistance or self-defense, then tragic death is their inevitable destination. With these thoughts in his mind, he could hardly summon the energy to pay attention to something exciting.If the tragic death of Xiao Wen and his wife and Tong Fang only lingered in his mind, he would not have paid any attention to what happened to those men and women in the Guan family.All day long, since the funeral, he has always been so quiet and silent, going about his business.On the surface, it seems that he is embracing the principle of resignation and living through the days of suffering in silence.In his heart, he did not have a moment of peace.He couldn't forget his father's tragic death, so he regarded himself as the most worthless person.He felt that his life was completely useless.Unless he can avenge his father.This, he knew, was definitely not for filial piety.He is a Chinese in the new era, and he is not willing to regard himself as only a part of his parents, and lose his life for them.He knows that the relationship between father and son is the continuation of life, and the most reasonable filial piety is probably to inherit the achievements of the father's generation, carry it forward, and teach the next generation to obtain a better spiritual and material inheritance.Life is continuation, progress, and the welfare of human beings who live today and care about tomorrow.The new life cannot hinder or replace the death of the old life.If his father died of old age or illness, he must be very sad on the one hand, and on the other hand he must cheer up and bravely face the responsibilities of tomorrow.However, my father was killed by the Japanese.If he dare not use his own blood to avenge his shame, his own descendants will sink into hell forever.The Japanese would have killed his father, as well as his descendants.If he wants to steal his life today, he will only leave shame to his children and grandchildren.The continuation of the shame is worse than death together. However, there was one thing that cheered him up a little.When the neighbors were paying attention to the affairs of the Guan family and the Wen family, the two Japanese men on No. 1 were recruited away.Ruixuan felt that this was more meaningful than the arrest of Xiaohe and Zhaodi.In his view, the imprisonment of the Guan family's father and daughter is just an inevitable scandal in the turbulent era.The fact that the No. 1 man was transferred to be cannon fodder shows that the aggressors also need to invest a lot, constantly, to pour the blood of the common people on the battlefield.Along with the casualties of soldiers came the destruction of families, the lack of manpower for production, and the increase of pension funds.Invasion only benefits the generals and capitalists, and the people have to work hard. On weekdays, he hated those two men.Today, he felt a little pity for them.They brought their family and property to China, but he himself was going to die in a foreign land, and taught the women to carry a small jar of ashes home.However, this regret did not overwhelm his joy.No, no, no, he couldn't still feel sorry for them in accordance with his usual, peace-loving thoughts; no!They, whether they have received poisonous education and propaganda, or been deceived by warlords and capitalists, since they are willing to take up their guns and fight, they will kill the Chinese, that is, the enemies of the Chinese.Bullet, no matter how it is fired, will never have a good heart!Yes, they must die on the battlefield; if they don't die, they will kill more Chinese.Yes, he must curse them cruelly, teach them to die, teach their families to be destroyed, and teach them and their brothers, nephews, nephews, friends and relatives to be turned into ashes.They are bedbugs, rats, and poisonous snakes, they must die, and then China and the world will have peace and security! He saw the two women who looked like magnetic dolls, taking the two naughty children to see off the two expeditioners.Their eyes are dry, their faces are expressionless, their whole bodies express obedience and the pride that comes from obedience.Yes, these women deserve to die too.They obey, for the glory comes from obedience.Without saying a word, they bowed deeply to the vicious god of war, and encouraged their men to kill and hack.Ruixuan knew that it might be wrong to blame those two women: they were just magnetic dolls made by Japanese education and culture, and they had to obey and endure.They have taken the dumb medicine of education since they were young, so they can't make a sound, but can only smile.Even so, Rui Xuan still refused to forgive them.It is precisely because they have taken that dumb drug that they are equipped exactly with the entire Japanese establishment.Their silence and obedience just completed the roaring and killing of their men.Judging from the fact--and it was the fact--they were their men's accomplices.If he couldn't forgive Japanese men, he couldn't easily forgive them either.Even if this is wrong, he can't change his mind, because Meng Shi, Zhong Shi, Mrs. Qian, Xiao Cui, Xiao Wen and his wife, Tong Fang, and his father all died at the hands of the Japanese with absolute certainty.It is shameless to go around the corner and forgive the enemy too much! Standing under the locust tree, he watched the expedition man, the magnetic doll, and the two naughty ghosts.He couldn't help but think of some incomplete Chinese poems from foreign countries: "One will succeed and all bones will wither; poor bones beside the Wuding River; who has no parents and who has no brothers?..." However, he straightened his neck, Looking at them and them, put those humane and noble sentences aside, and replaced them with words such as "hate, death, killing, revenge". "This is war, and those who dare not kill will be killed!" he said to himself. The old woman in number one was the last to come out.She bowed deeply to the two young men, and waited until they turned the corner before straightening up.She raised her head and saw Ruixuan.She bowed again.Straightening up, she walked towards Ruixuan, walking quickly.The way she walked changed, she didn't look like a Japanese woman anymore.She straightened her body and raised her face, she was no longer as round as usual.She is like a crab that just woke up, with her legs stretched out, they are not so round anymore.There was a smile on her face, as if after the two young men left, she was free and could laugh freely. "Good morning!" she said in English. "Can I say a few words to you?" Her English was fluent and correct, not like it was spoken by a Japanese population.Ruixuan was stunned. "I've wanted to talk to you for a long time, but I never had a chance. Today," she pointed to the exit of the alley, "they left with them, so..." Her tone and movements were like those of a Westerner, especially It's her fingering, not the index finger, but the thumb. When Ruixuan thought about it, he thought: Japanese are all detectives, and the old lady knows that he can speak English, which is good evidence.Therefore, he wanted to perfunctory and avoid her.The old woman seemed to have guessed his intentions, and smiled generously. "Don't doubt me! I am not an ordinary Japanese. I was born in Canada, grew up in the United States, and later followed my father in London as a businessman. I have seen the world and know the mistakes of the Japanese. Those two young people are My nephews, their businesses, their capital, are all mine. I am their slave. I have no son, and I can't run a business—my youth is playing the piano, dancing, watching theatre, skating, riding, swimming... …to get over it—I had to buy a deep bow with my money, and kneel down and serve them tea and food!" Ruixuan still didn't dare to speak.He knew that the Japanese would use various methods of spying. The old woman approached him and lowered her voice: "I've wanted to talk to you for a long time. The people in this alley, you are considered to be the most virtuous and thoughtful, I can tell. I know you will be careful, I don’t want to talk to me. But it’s enough for me to speak my mind to someone who understands. I’m Japanese, but when I speak in Japanese, I can never speak my heart’s content. Only one in a thousand Japanese can understand what I say." She spoke very quickly, as if she had memorized it by heart. "Your business," she pointed to No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 4, and her eyes followed her fingers in a semicircle. "I know all about it. Of course you know what we Japanese have done in Peking. I just have to tell you the truth: the Japanese will be defeated! No other Japanese dares to say that. I—in a sense I can't forget the human race and the world just because of my nationality. Naturally, I can't wish the Japanese to be killed by others because of their crimes. Killing and brutality are I don’t want others to punish the Japanese for their crimes. To you, I only want to say: Japan must be defeated. As for the Japanese, I only hope that they will repent because of their failure, and change their wisdom and efforts in a different direction. Apply it to things that benefit mankind. I am not prophesying to you. My judgment is extracted from my knowledge of the world and Japan. I see that you are always unhappy, and I would like to make you optimistic. Don't worry, don't be pessimistic; sooner or later your enemies will fail! Say nothing else, my family has failed: two are dead, and now two are added - they march, they perish! I know you won't Believe me easily, that's okay. But, please think about it, if you are willing to report to me, I will lose my head, just like the cart puller!" She pointed to number four. "Don't think that I'm crazy, and don't think that I'm trying to please you, and I'm looking for nice words to say to you. No, I'm Japanese, and I'll always be Japanese. I don't want anyone to forgive me. I just want Telling my judgment in an extremely objective way, I got rid of my heart disease! Not telling the truth is indeed like a heart disease! Well, if you don’t doubt me, let’s be friends, beyond the relationship between China and Japan Friend. It doesn't matter if you don't like doing this; today you can give me a chance and teach me to speak out what's on my mind, I should already thank you!" After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for Ruixuan to answer, and slowly go away.Putting her hands in her sleeves and bending her back, she returned to her original state—an old Japanese woman who was always ready to bow. Ruixuan was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to do.He refused to believe the old woman's words, but it seemed impossible not to believe her words.Anyway, he couldn't stop laughing.He hadn't smiled once in days.
