Lan Dongyang continued his sick leave.When he helped the Japanese terrorize, he had never tasted terror himself.No matter how terrified the young men and women were when they were arrested, and how distraught their parents were, he was indifferent.He knew that he had money and power, so he was satisfied. This time, Ruiquan put the bullet head in front of him.He dared not touch it.He was afraid that as long as he touched it lightly, it would explode with a bang.It was shiny and cold, always staring at him, like a gibbering eyeball, always following him. To be honest, he never thought about the wrongdoer and the debtor. He didn't think that he had committed any crimes or committed any crimes.Now, death really found him.He neither admits guilt, so naturally there is no question of atonement.Religious people believe that sins can be redeemed, which can make people change from evil to good; but Lan Dongyang is so determined that he is hopeless.

He was always scared, very scared.While chewing and chewing on his nails, he would scream, jump on the bed, cover his head with the quilt, and hold it for a long time without daring to let out the air, covered in sweat profusely.He didn't dare lift the quilt, feeling that the god of death was standing outside the quilt, waiting for him. Only when Fat Chrysanthemum came home, did he dare to push away the quilt and sit up.He called her over, hugged her madly, and bit her fat arms.She was his fat wife, and before he died, he had to bite her heartily, trample her under his feet, and trample her as much as he could.Only in this way, the money spent for her will not be wronged.

After biting her, he looked around the house, looked and looked at his things carefully, calculated how much money was left, and shouted: "I can't die, I can't die!" He didn't care about wearing shoes, and went to the ground barefoot, grabbed a pencil and a piece of paper, and registered all the furniture, clothes, teapots, rice bowls and so on, not even brooms and feather dusters left.The more items on the list, the more proud and frightened he is.Seeing that they can't survive, who can leave these things to?No, you can't leave it to Fat Juzi.She married him only for his money and status.Nothing can be left to her.

He hugged her again, and put his mouth on her fat cheeks: "You must die with me, we must die together." Yes, even if he is lying in a coffin, there must be someone beside him Companion, otherwise, even if you die, you will have to worry about it day and night. Fat Juzi broke free from his embrace, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.what!After all, she is from the Qi family, maybe she plans to go back to the Qi family so that she can marry Ruiquan! He begged Fat Juzi not to leave him, and discussed with her to escape from Peiping together.Yes, we have to escape from Peiping!After leaving Peiping, Ruiquan could no longer find him.There is only one Ruiquan against him in the world, as long as he goes to other places, he can wear silk and satin again.

If you want to run, how can you bring all these things with you?Tables, chairs and benches are of course far less valuable than gold and silver, but no matter what you say, they are still his things.Whether it is wooden or magnetic, he has worked hard to get it.But then again, if he took too much, the Japanese should stop him. In the evening, when he heard a bang bang—perhaps a rickshaw wheel fired—he would slither under the bed and put his face in his hands. Day and night, he was worried and frightened, and he lost his appetite and could not eat.However, he still kept his spirits up and forced a lot of food.He has to eat, and only when he has energy can he think of a way to escape.After barely eating it, he couldn't digest it, and the breath he exhaled became even more stinky.The doors and windows of his house were tightly closed, and within a day or two, the smell in the house was as bad as a fox's den.

He had been ill for so long that the Japanese became suspicious and sent a Japanese doctor to see him.The doctor knocked on the door, and the smell of stench almost made him breathless, so he ran over and opened all the windows. As usual, if a Japanese doctor came, Dongyang would not bow like a kowtow.But this time, he was not very happy, and he was worried. Didn't those who work for the Japanese often get poisoned to death by the Japanese? The doctor gave him some digestive medicine, but he dared not take it.The doctor persuaded him left and right, and it took a lot of effort to force the medicine down to him.

Dongyang lay on the bed, convinced that he was dying, and cried loudly. The medicine slowly poured down the throat, and after a while, I could only hear the gurgling sound in my stomach.Must have given him arsenic!He struggled to get out of bed, closed the doors and windows tightly again, and felt a little more at ease.His stomach became looser and less uncomfortable, he smiled.Well, no, he was not poisoned, which shows that the Japanese still trust him.Well, think of a trick and escape from Peiping. Well, why not, why not go to Japan?Isn't that his country too? Fat Juzi has other plans.She is not willing to serve Dongyang anymore.This is not sorry for him.She was patient and used her fat body for his pleasure for three years.Now, there is no need to try to curry favor with him any more.If she really intends to leave, she has to hurry up - take all Dongyang's money.

We can't wait for him to recover, it is a great opportunity to take advantage of him lying in bed.The money she got from Dongyang had already been exchanged for gold and silver and hidden in her mother's house.But once Dongyang dies, who can guarantee that the Japanese will not search her natal home?If you want to go fast, you have to run far.If she leaves immediately, not only can she keep the things she kept in her natal family, but she can also take away the treasures around Dongyang. With gold, she might be able to go to big places like Shanghai or Nanjing. With the skills she has learned from Da Chibao and Dongyang over the years, can't she start a new stove and do a big job?

She couldn't keep hesitating like this, she had to do it quickly, while Dongyang was lying on the bed alive and dead, she quickly took the money to her mother's house, and then took Dongyang's stamp to roll up all the cash he had deposited in the bank. Just like that, she took the most valuable things and cash with her, stored the bulky things at her mother's house, and went to Tianjin in a hurry. Juzi ran away, but Dongyang didn't miss it.Today the world is in chaos, a bag of flour can be exchanged for a big girl, what is a fat chrysanthemum!He likes fat girls, and if women charge by portion, he can exchange two bags of white flour for a fatter one.

However, when he found out that Chrysanthemum had abducted his money, both of his eyeballs hung up at the same time, and he didn't regain his breath for a full half an hour.Although the things in the house have not been moved, and there are still deposits in the bank with Chrysanthemum on his back, but these are not enough to comfort him. Dongyang is really seriously ill.Anxiety, cold, fear, hit him from all directions.He was hot and cold, his green face was gray for a while, and purple for a while.In the cold season, those yellow teeth boards kept beating.He wanted to think about it carefully, but a chill that pierced his heart made him unable to concentrate.After much deliberation, he couldn't get rid of a dead word.

All of a sudden, his whole body became hot again, and his mind was buzzing, like a large swarm of locusts buzzing and attacking.As soon as he woke up, he yelled loudly: "I don't want to die, give me the money, and go to Japan—" The Japanese doctor came again, Dongyang took some medicine and fell asleep in a daze.His mind couldn't calm down, and he couldn't sleep well.He couldn't let go of money and chrysanthemums.Dongyang had been ill for a long time, and his superiors sent another principal to the railway school. As usual, Ruixuan should consider resigning according to the rules.But this time, he went to school as usual without even thinking about it.As long as the new headmaster doesn't kick him out, he will teach him as usual according to Ruiquan's wishes.If the new headmaster really doesn't want to keep him, then he will find a way to deal with it. The new headmaster is a middle-aged man, short-sighted, but not bad-minded.Although he took a lot of effort to get this position, he didn't intend to extract oil from the student, nor did he want to kill the student's head.He didn't fire anyone.Ruixuan stayed behind. For Ruixuan, the value of this errand is not because of the income, but because it gives him an opportunity to dedicate himself to the motherland and the students.He explained to the students word by word - explaining the meaning of words, tracing the origin of words, so that students can learn and use every word.In addition to textbooks, I also chose a lot of extracurricular reading materials.The literature textbooks he carefully selected were all intended to arouse the patriotic enthusiasm of the students and eliminate their national inferiority complex.He pretended to choose some extracurricular readings casually, as if just to help students better understand the text.In this way, even if there is a hidden spy among the students, it is not easy to pick out his faults. The most difficult thing is to come up with composition questions.According to his teaching principles, he is unwilling to give students some empty questions. When students start to work, they can only start with "Life in the world..." and then bite the brush, unable to think of the next sentence to write. what.But he can't come up with big topics related to current events.If he dared to write anything on the blackboard that was closely related to student life, he would be arrested immediately.In order to avoid emptiness and avoid being caught, the questions he gave must always be related to the text.Students have something to say about such topics, and he can understand the students' reactions. When changing the composition paper, he is always in high spirits.The compositions of many students showed that they not only understood his painstaking efforts, but also carefully confided to him the pain in their hearts.Correcting compositions was originally a boring thing, but now it has become his joy.He was talking to a group of young people in lingo. He paid special attention to those suspicious students and observed whether they would consciously or unconsciously accept the enslavement education of the Japanese. To his delight, there were one or two children of traitor families whose views were quite different from their father's.With this discovery, he reflected on himself and felt that he was too pessimistic before.He originally thought that once Beiping was occupied by the Japanese, it would become a backwater.He was wrong. He decided to let Xiao Shun'er go to school, and he didn't have time to teach by himself.Now he saw clearly that the teachers in the school were not as weak and incompetent as he had thought. Dongyang was lying on the bed, suffering from hot and cold, Dongyang left Peiping silently.This winter, many people who were naked and starved to death were frozen to death.The sudden spring breeze, I haven't made up my mind on how to blow it.It is suddenly as cold as ice, sweeping away the snow on the wall; suddenly it is warm, bringing moist air and colorful clouds in spring.The snow on the top of the ancient city wall also began to melt, and the snow water seeped into the cracks of the city wall.There is life under the wall.The small light green grass buds have already shown their heads.The golden brake top of the White Pagoda and the yellow glazed tiles of the Forbidden City are all shining in the spring sunshine.But suddenly there was another freeze, reminiscent of the cold winter. People stripped off the heavy, tattered padded jackets.A cold wind blew and caught a cold, and some died soon after.At the turn of winter and spring, people are most likely to die. Spring has finally found its footing.The snow and ice melted, and brave bees were buzzing in the air.Suddenly came the news that was warmer than the spring breeze, making all the people in Peiping forget the hunger and cold that had come all winter: the U.S. Air Force bombed the Japanese mainland.Ruixuan got the news from the flyer sent by the third child. After reading these leaflets, Ruixuan was ecstatic and walked to the school unknowingly.Walking into the classroom, I saw a pair of eyes shining with joy.He understood that the news of Japan's bombing had already spread.The light in everyone's eyes made the whole classroom extremely warm.He didn't say a word, just looked at everyone with eyes that were shining with the same light.There was a smile on everyone's face, and there were tears in many pairs of eyes. Rui Xuan started to give a lecture.He really wanted to interject: "Japan has been bombed." But he tried desperately to control himself.Those words kept rippling in his chest like music.He also wanted to say to the students: "Little brothers, this good news is from my brother!" But he dared not say it. He now understood the power of propaganda.In the past, he was too pessimistic and always thought that propaganda was just empty talk and worthless.But now—look, this news can make him, his students, and all the people in Peiping excited and happy. Why not do more publicity like this?He decided to help the third child.He is good at playing with pens.He knew that Lao San had the ability to print what he wrote; Uncle Qian also had the ability to distribute it. He met Monk Mingyue on the street and told him about his plan to write for an underground organization.The monk gave him several addresses, and the written things would be delivered there.The monk asked him to pay attention to makeup and spy. When he broke up with the monk, Ruixuan felt that the spring sunshine in Peiping illuminated his heart, and he was very happy.He has specific tasks and can no longer be ashamed or hesitant. The first year's radish has a hollow heart, but fresh green leaves can still be pulled out from the top; when the cabbage in the cellar is dry, bright yellow sprouts can still be arched.Even the ugly heads of garlic will sprout green seedlings.Everything rots and everything transforms.
