Chapter 4 Four

"Hey! The red exposed target!" We couldn't help laughing again.I said, "If someone finds out that we're not there, it's useless for you to wear an invisibility cloak. I think it's better for us to go back sooner." Da Xu nodded silently.She said, "What are you busy with? First go and sit under the shade of the tree opposite." When she got there, she put a whitewashed military uniform over her shoulders, took out two pieces of paper from her pocket and said, "This is my inspection, take a look." Her inspection was one that would make even the most humorless person laugh out loud.The beginning said: "Dear instructor: The red flag of the motherland is fluttering, and the 600 million Shenzhou is full of Shunyao. Amidst the revolutionary songs, we ushered in the first spring of the 1970s!" The end is: "My level is not high, Mao’s learning and application are not good, if there is anything that does not conform to Mao Zedong Thought during the inspection, please ask the instructor to correct it.” There is a lot of nonsense in the middle, which seems to be a critical manuscript, saying that the statue was destroyed because of The destruction of the international imperialist revisionists.When it comes to the process of the matter, there is only one line, "It may have been broken by any of the three of us, and it may have been me in particular." In short, you can't guess what she said after reading her review. What is it.She said: "I have searched all the newspapers in the accounting office." She asked Da Xu to read what he wrote, but Da Xu refused to give it to her.It turned out that Xing Hong went to find him in the morning, but he hadn't written yet.I said: "If you write it, take a look. Don't be afraid, I've shown her what I wrote. Don't you trust us?"

Da Xu lowered his head and said, "How could I? You are too kind to me. You can watch it if you want." He took it out and handed it to her.There were three lines of writing on the paper, about the size of a walnut: "I was the one who cut the statue. I cut the mat with a knife when I was building millet. It was unintentional. Please criticize and educate the leaders. Reviewer: Xu Deming." Xing Hong raised her head and smiled slightly, and said, "I knew you were going to write like this!" She tore up the piece of paper and threw it into the river.She sneered and said, "Why did you write this? Do you think we won't be implicated if you write this? Silly! We all said we didn't remember clearly. Are you going to bite us? Or are you afraid that we will say it later? Listen, I will tell you later." If you tell anyone other than the three of us, you will be bastards!"

We both laughed.It was amusing for such a girl to swear solemnly.I said, "Me too. Never tell anyone." Da Xu frowned and said, "But I did tear up the statue. Don't tell me, right?" Hearing this kind of words, I feel heavy.Either way, we are hiding a major issue from the organization and that is inexcusable.But Xing Hong said: "You are so stupid! It is obvious that the trainer is going to punish you, and you have to send it to the door yourself." He listened to her and bowed his head.Suddenly he raised his head again and said, "But are you right to protect me?"

Xing Hong suddenly stretched out her arms and lifted her coat to the ground. She stood up and threw her slender body into the sunlight.She raised her head, let her loose hair fall back, narrowed her eyes, folded her hands on her chest and said, "Of course we are right. Anyway, I believe that I am a good person. You are also a good person, and so is Xiao Wang. As for the rest, I'll let him go, if you want to criticize, just criticize, what's the big deal." She suddenly turned around and said: "I have a check in my pocket, which is for you, and I have a pen and paper in my schoolbag. , you copy - copy. Don't be so worried, it's nothing special. I'm going into the water, Xiao Wang, are you going?"

I nodded, so we went down the river, Daxu stayed on the bank for a while, and then went to copy and check with peace of mind.Xing Hong and I ran in the shallow water together, and went to the deep water to dig out the fish baskets of the old village to see how many fish they caught, but we didn't take theirs.I'm a little obsessed with Xing Hong, she looks vigorous and exquisite.She is so beautiful.I began to develop a little unusual affection for her.Later when we landed, Da Xu had already copied his inspection papers.We slipped back together, and no one saw us.When the person who dug the ditch came back, I was holding my head in my hand and thinking hard.But what I thought was that Xing Hong helped Da Xu so much, could it be that she fell in love with him?At this time, the trainer came to check, and I gave it to him.

The instructor went over our inspection and flew into a rage.He immediately decided to criticize us.After dinner, he called some people to a preparatory meeting, and several of them were activists who were active in learning.When they came back from the meeting, they all put on a sullen face and ignored us, even talking behind our backs when talking to other students.Someone whispered to me: I want to criticize you.I panicked for a moment, and then thought about it, why panic, anyway, at this stage, I gave it all up.At most it is "stand up", "stand in front", and listen to criticism.

Unexpectedly, at night, the instructor sent two people to follow me, even when I went to the bathroom.I usually live in the same room with them, but now they ignore me with a droopy face.I feel a little bad, and the back of my head feels cold.In the evening, someone blew a whistle to tell everyone to go to a meeting. I saw Da Xu followed by two big men.Aha, there are four big gas lamps on the venue, so I am really willing to give up oil.The instructor stood in front of the table and said: "Today's meeting is to criticize Xu Deming, Wang Xiaoli and Xing Hong who destroyed the treasure statue. Bring Xu Deming and Wang Xiaoli up! Xing Hong will accept the criticism below." The two people behind me Come push me.I stood up and walked up, but my legs felt a little weak.Da Xu also came forward.Xing Hong also followed.The instructor glared at her and said, "Who asked you to come up?" She said, "Criticize the three of us, of course I will come up." The instructor sneered: "Okay!" !"

I am not afraid of facing the masses, but I cannot lower my head.The instructor yelled: "Tie up King Xu!" The two people following me immediately came to twist my arms, and I struggled desperately.I really want to punch those two guys, they are still classmates.But I didn't dare to hit anyone, I just squeezed my hands together to prevent them from twisting my hands behind my back.I heard Da Xu yelling vigorously: "Ah...!!" The old workers below were in a mess, and someone shouted: "What are these little dolls? What are you doing when you tie them up?" Daxu is tied up, but I haven't tied it up yet.I don't know where the energy came from, it's just evil, my hands are clasped together, and three or four people can't get it apart.The instructor came to have a look and said "forget it", so the meeting started.But Xing Hong stood in front of him and said, "You tie me up too! You tie me up!" Our Criticism Society often tied up people, but it had never tied up a woman.The instructor didn't dare to do anything, so he asked the female educated youth to "hold" Xing Hong, and sure enough, two activists came up and grabbed her arm.The instructor looked back at me, I stared at him wide-eyed, and he called someone to tie me up again, and this time I let them tie me up.The hard bamboo shell bound the wrists and hurt terribly, and when the rope was tied around the neck, it was immediately suffocating.At this moment, half of the people below were separated, and our captain disappeared.One speaker after another, we were called "the scum of educated youth" and so on.While criticizing, the team leader ran over and said, "The regiment has instructed that this meeting cannot be held, especially that people are not allowed to be tied up; they are told to release them first." Just as the instructor was about to stare, the team leader said, "The political commissar said, you have to take responsibility for this matter." Responsibility." The trainer softened immediately and had to announce the end of the meeting.

According to the opinions of the regiment, the destruction of the treasure statue was unintentional and will not be pursued.The trainer had to apologize for the beating of the educated youth, and the victim should not file a complaint. That night, Da Xu and I sat on the bed and didn't want to sleep at all, our foreheads were swollen with anger.If you think about it carefully, the ones who tied us up were all our classmates. For what reason, it was just to make a good impression on the instructor, so that we could talk about how they stood firm in the lecture meeting, and then went to the group Be a clerk, secretary, etc., and write some bullshit reports.Is it worth betraying us for this?

When the lights went out, the two guys from our room came back, slid in the door timidly and softly, and sat quietly on the bed.I stood up suddenly and shouted: "You two move out! Don't live with the counter-revolutionaries!" One whispered: "Brother Wang, don't rely on us. We can't do anything." My wildness broke out, He yelled: "Get out! Get out!" Then they threw all their things out. The two of them didn't dare to say anything, so they picked up the things and left.
