Chapter 42 Chapter 06

Bi was the first to enter the women's association, and Peizhu followed behind.They entered Hui's room, where Hui and Ying were talking in low voices. "Where's Xiong? Bi, why are you here alone?" Hui asked when she saw Bi.Bi went out first to call Xiong back. "I only had time to see him get into the car, and now he's off to brigade headquarters," Bea whispered bitterly.She fell wearily on the bed and covered her face with her hands, as if she was exhausted after struggling so long. "What? So fast." Hui stood up in horror and asked.Kage also looked at Ao with horrified eyes.

"Hui, everything is over. I saw Xiong and Zhiyuan get into the car with my own eyes," Peizhu said with tears in her eyes. "But they weren't scared, they all had smiles on their faces." She couldn't go on talking anymore, so she hugged Hui and sobbed softly. "It's over," Hui replied desperately, holding Peizhu tightly.Shadow also shed tears beside him. Bi Yi rolled over and got up from the bed.Her eyes were dry, and the fire continued to shoot from them, and she reprimanded them in a stern voice: "What's the use of you crying. They are not dead yet, we should try to save them."

Hui let go of Peizhu, wiped away her tears, and replied, "Let's talk to Ke." Peizhu raised her head.She felt that the heavy pressure on her heart was driven away by her crying. She quickly responded: "I'll go, the matter is urgent, and my crying delayed the matter." "The struggle has begun, and we should fight it with aplomb—" Bea whispered, and she stopped when she heard footsteps outside. "It must be Renmin and the others coming," Peizhu explained, and she recognized the footsteps of Renmin and Min.Sure enough, the two of them walked in.

"I have a meeting tonight, how about at your house?" Min said to Hui when she came in. "Okay, is everyone here?" Hui asked, nodding her head. "It's just us. Some people didn't have time to notify. Yun is outside the city again today." "Hui, you go back immediately, and you go with Bi. We will come after you." Peizhu said to Hui. "But we still have to tidy up here," Hui replied, looking around as if to see if there was anything else in the room that should be put away. "You go first, I'll take care of the things here," said Ying who didn't speak for a while.

"Then, Bi, let's go." Hui opened the desk drawer, took out a bunch of documents and put them in his arms, and turned to look at Bi. "You go alone first, I have to go home," Bi said to Hui, as if she had made up her mind. "Bi, don't go back," Ying interjected with concern. "Your home is not safe." "I've got to go home, there's a lot of papers there," said Bea stubbornly, who cared more about those papers than she cared about her own life. When they heard her mentioning the document, everyone was speechless. Everyone knew that the document was of great importance and they must not lose it.Peizhu said, "Then I will go with you.

I'll help you clean up the house. Seeing Hui still standing there, she urged: "Hui, you still don't leave.What are you doing here? " "Okay, I'm leaving now." Hui said this briefly, and then walked outside.But she turned around and said, "Renmin, what about you, come with me." Before Renmin could answer, Peizhu went on to say, "Renmin, you can go with Hui. It's not good for you to walk on the street alone." Renmin glanced at Peizhu, then followed Hui out silently.Bi and Peizhu also went out.Min was last, and he still had to inform Ke, and he had to go to school again.

Ying stayed alone in the room busy packing things. By the time Min arrived at school, night had come.He hurried into Ardan's room, which was still unlit.He heard Ardan speaking excitedly to several students. "Who?" Yadan asked in surprise when Min pushed open the door and came in. "It's me, Ardan," Min replied, seeing the silhouette of Ardan's long face against the gray background.The sight made him more nervous, and he thought he heard faint cries in the room, but he could see nothing.He asked, "Why don't you light the lamps?" "Our light is gone," Ardan replied passionately, his voice full of pain.He just got the sad news, and he was talking about Xiong and Zhiyuan to the students.He then asked, "What news do you have?"

"Come on, let's go outside." Min ordered. "How about Renmin and the others? Did you see them?" Adam asked with concern. "They're all well, it's getting late, let's go right away." Min replied, and as he walked to the bed, he asked, "Who is crying?" A student jumped up from the bed, threw himself on his side, grabbed his arm, and called "Min" sobbing. Min patted the student on the head and said softly, "Hyun, don't cry, tears are stupid." The other students came up to him and questioned him. "What about them? Are they going to kill them?" Yin asked, sobbing, twisting Min's arm.

"Who knows? Everyone dies," Min replied almost rudely. "Tell me, what about the school?" Yadan asked suddenly. "I wanted to call a meeting, but it's Saturday again." "Probably there will be no problem with the school. Last time Zhiyuan and I cleaned it up," Min said confidently, and then asked, "Where is Shunmin?" Shunmin is the school's teaching director, a middle-aged local .He is a loyal sympathizer, he doesn't like to show up in the venue, but he is willing to bury his head in doing things.From the outside, he looks like a "scholar" who doesn't care about politics, but they don't know that he has done a lot for the group.

"He just got the news and went to the library to check. They are responsible for the students. Maybe someone will search the school tomorrow or the day after tomorrow," Yadan replied calmly, pointing at the students in front of him. . "That's it. Let's talk about other things later. Let's go." Min felt that there was no major problem with the school for the time being, so she felt relieved and urged Yadan to leave quickly. "Xian, follow us out," Min pulled Xian out.Adam still stayed in the room and gave some instructions to the students. The three walked out of the school, and the gate was closed.This school is also converted from an old temple.Outside, there are two large banyan trees standing in the dark background, and the two piles of lush green leaves are shaking slightly in the evening wind, like two huge black shadows dancing in the air.The setting is bleak, even scary.On one side of the sky, the large Venus shone brightly.

The street is bright.The white light of gas lamps beamed from the shop.The tavern was very lively, with the sounds of women's smiles and men playing games and drinking from the windows that were not very high.An army officer passed by in a rickshaw with his arms around a prostitute with a child's face in bright clothes.A group of people gathered around the intersection, and a puppet show was being performed in front of a shop.The puppets fought absurdly on the stage, and the people below laughed happily.On another street, just diagonally opposite the newspaper office, firecrackers suddenly went off in front of a shop.People are laughing, playing and having fun.This day was originally a holiday. The newspaper office stood there desertedly, with the seal on the door panel, and a policeman stood under the arcade, telling a joke to some businessmen. "Min," Adam suddenly whispered in Min's ear with a trembling voice. Min vaguely agreed.He was looking at the seal on the door.But he didn't stop, and quickly walked past the newspaper office. "Where did you put that thing?" Yadan asked in a low voice, watching the pedestrians beside him carefully. Min looked at him sideways, as if wondering why he asked this question. "It was you and Zhi Yuanzang last time. I searched at the same place today," Yadan's voice trembled even more. Min looked at him with calm eyes, and asked him in a calm voice, "Why do you think of that thing?" When Yadan saw Min speaking so calmly, his agitation increased, and he said aggressively: "I know, but I'm afraid of you using it. Min, it's not right now... Temporary pleasure is useless... Now Not your turn." Min was silent, as if he didn't understand Ardan's words.In fact, he completely understands.Adam did say what he wanted to do.Not only today, but he was preparing to do something a long time ago.However, it was not until today, until the previous moment, that he made up his mind.This determination cannot be changed.For him, everything has been arranged.This is not reason ordering him, this is emotion, this is experience, this is environment.They make him understand: peaceful work is useless, others do not give them long hours, others do not give them opportunities.People like Xiong and Zhiyuan couldn't stay among them for long.His rotation will not last long. He said he couldn't be a stingy person.He should also surrender his life.Then, instead of being initiated by someone else, it is better for him to start first and use violence first. "Why isn't it my turn?" Min said calmly, her voice firm, as if he really believed his rotation had come. "No, what we hate is the system, not the individual, not the individual..." Yadan said bitterly. He knew that Min had made up his mind and the matter was irreversible. But he believed that violence was not necessary at present, and that personal terror was of no benefit.They are struggling in difficult circumstances and they should develop slowly.Momentary pleasure will only destroy everything for them.He is not afraid of sacrifice.But he believed that action would do no good.What's more embarrassing is that he can't lose a friend like Min after losing Xiong and Zhiyuan. Min smiled bitterly: "Ardan, don't say these words again. You won't convince me. You're too nervous, and I don't intend to do anything." This time Min lied. Adam was silent.He didn't believe Min's words.He knew Min was lying to him.He also knew that no theory could stop Min.His words were useless.There is nothing he can do to remedy this.He painfully calculated the future loss in his mind. They arrived at Hui's house.Shadow came out and opened the door.Bi and Peizhu hadn't arrived yet, and everyone was worried, but they arrived in less than a quarter of an hour. "We are very worried for you, afraid of what happened," Renmin said to Peizhu with relief.He asked again, "Did you meet anything on the road?" "Not even a ghost. We were safe all the way," Peizhu replied.Bi put the big bag of things on Hui's bed. The gate was closed, and they closed the lever again, leaving Xian to watch the door.In Hui's dormitory, the meeting started under a tense atmosphere. Everyone took turns talking in a low voice. The words were simple but to the point, and no one said a word that was unnecessary.After talking carefully for two hours, they decided on several methods, several strategies, and several steps to proceed... As soon as the meeting was over, Chen Qing left.Ke also left. It is very dangerous for him to stay in this place. The brigade has long wanted to get rid of him.So they sent him to another town to report the incident, and to ask the help of his friends there. Ying sent Ke to the gate, held out his hand to him with a smile, and said with concern: "Ke, I'm waiting for you. Be careful when you go out." Ke held Ying's thin hand tightly, revealing the light from under the glasses. Grateful and friendly eyes.He replied with a smile: "I know. You have to be careful too." Seeing Yingxie nodding his head, he said "Goodbye." Then he turned and left. Shadow closed the door again. Then Ardan went back to school and shadowed the Women's Association, where they were less dangerous and had work to do.Xian followed Yadan away. Hui heard that Peizhu and the others hadn't had dinner yet, so she took out a tube of biscuits and boiled water to make tea for them.We talked a lot.Min talked the least, but ate the most and drank the most, as if his heart was at peace.However, his face was very gloomy. "Min," Peizhu called him gently, "you seem to have something in your heart, are you tired?" She cared about Min because she knew that one thing was bothering him. "Nothing," he explained hastily.He smiled slightly, but this smile looked bleak in the eyes of others.He stood up and said, "I'm leaving." He looked at everyone in the room with nostalgia. "I'll go back too," Renmin said standing up. "No, you can't go back to Zhiyuan." Peizhu stopped him. "But there's still something there," Renmin said hesitantly. "Renmin, I'll get your things for you. You go to sleep with Peizhu, it's safer there," Min said immediately, as if he was afraid that Renmin would live in his house. Everyone didn't know the reason for this, but they didn't pay much attention to it.What he said was the truth, Peizhu's place was a safer place.Lin She's late husband was a well-known gentleman in the city. "Min's words are right, Renmin, you can go to sleep at my house. I'll get your things tomorrow. Min don't go either." Peizhu continued. "You are here and we should guarantee your safety. In case of an emergency in the future, we will let you go first." "Let me go, what about you? Am I afraid of death? Why can't I be with you?" In-min argues vehemently that he doesn't feel he can leave them at this point. "Why did we let you die? They need you very much over there," Hui said with concern, wrinkling her slender brows, and then began to sing in a low voice: "I know I don't have much time to live, I should live it to my heart's content." "Hui, you're singing this kind of song again," Peizhu complained from the side. Hui walked a few steps in the room, looked at Peizhu and replied, "I seem to see death approaching step by step. Maybe we won't be able to meet again tomorrow." She smiled faintly when she said this. "No, no. I don't believe it. We haven't done anything yet. We must not die." Bea said firmly.There was fire in her small eyes, and her countenance was solemn. "Let's go," Peizhu said to Renmin.Seeing that Min was still here, she called Min and said, "Min, let's go together." She took a flashlight on the table.Min was about to leave when he suddenly noticed that there was a flashlight on the table, so he took it in his hand and said to Hui, "Give this to me." Hui nodded, but then asked suddenly, "Don't you usually refuse to use a flashlight?" "I'm going to make an exception this time," Min replied with a smile.Min hadn't used a flashlight in the past two or three years, just because he was afraid of causing a painful memory.He remembers clearly: that night he was caught by a soldier for inspection with the draft on his body, and that friend named De came to rescue him.De sacrificed his life, but he has survived to this day.He couldn't forgive himself when he thought of that friend.He had a flashlight in his hand that night, and it was probably because of that flashlight that what happened next.The flashlight has since been lost, and De never came back alive.From now on, every time he sees the flashlight, he thinks of that lost friend.So he refuses to use it again.His friends all knew about it, but they didn't understand the real reason. Hui stopped talking.She looked at Min's face in a daze, her face gradually filled with doubts, and her bright eyes dimmed. Min didn't seem to notice this, he turned around and followed Peizhu and Renmin outside.When he stepped out of the gate and walked down the stone steps to the middle of the street, Hui suddenly opened the door and ran out to call him: "Min, don't go. You can sleep here. I have something to tell you." Min pressed the flashlight to illuminate Hui's face with electric light.That face was still plump, the right cheek was covered by thick hair, and there were tears in his eyes.He hesitated for a moment, feeling his heart beating violently, and wanted to run over and grab her cheek and kiss her hard, but he immediately calmed down and said in a cold, almost rude voice, "No, I'm leaving." See you tomorrow." He turned off the light, and Hui disappeared into the darkness.He seemed to hear the sound of her closing the door. He left without any regrets.In front of his eyes suddenly appeared the hawk-like face of his deceased friend, and at the same time a rough voice sounded: "Min, you go." His eyes moistened. Peizhu saw that Min didn't speak for a long time, and knew that they were about to break up with him, so she called Min and said gently: "Min, you shouldn't hide it from us, I know you have made up your mind. But you should think carefully about it." , don't just look for a momentary pleasure." She knew that Min's heart seemed to see it.And Min's actions tonight did not escape her eyes. Min didn't speak, but just walked with her head buried, as if she didn't hear her words. Renmin then called him, but he still didn't answer. They quickly came to the intersection of two alleys, and Min should have gone west. It is also very quiet here, except for the three of them, there are no other pedestrians. Peizhu stopped.She looked around and whispered, "Min, are you saying goodbye to us like this?" She held out her hand to him. Min took her hand warmly, and said gratefully, "You forgive me...I really don't want to leave you." His tears dripped onto Peizhu's wrist. "Why do you say forgiveness? Let's say blessings... You see, I know you very well. But you have to think about it. We all care about you." Peizhu said with a smile and kindly.She slowly brought her wrist to her lips. Min shook hands with Renmin again, saying, "Thank you, we can meet again tomorrow." He resolutely threw Renmin's hand and went to the alley to the west. Peizhu was still standing at the intersection, staring at his shadow gradually disappearing into the darkness.She cried out in pain, "He's crying." Seeing her standing like this, Renmin approached her, put one arm around her waist, and whispered intimately in her ear: "Peizhu, let's go." She didn't answer, but walked with him silently, cuddling him tightly.After a while she sighed and said, "Min is leaving us soon." Renmin held Peizhu in one arm and walked forward slowly with a flashlight in the other hand to light the way.He leaned his head on her shoulder and said softly in her ear, "Peizhu, don't be sad, I won't leave you." Peizhu walked silently, and after a while, she suddenly said to herself: "Many young people come to us, but they give up their lives quickly and go away. Min said that he is not a stingy person." She His voice was full of grief. Her grief spread to Renmin's heart, and he hugged her lovingly and tightly, as if this snuggle could sweep away their grief. "Peizhu, don't think about those things. Tomorrow the sun will rise as usual. Can't we talk about other things, personal things before that time?" Renmin's gentle voice was in her ear The edge rang, and her heart was touched. Before she could answer, he went on: "Have you not thought of love at all here?" "Why do you ask that?" she asked in a low voice, feeling her body heat up in his arms. "Because I care about you very much," Renmin's voice trembled, and he almost kissed her cheek. "Because I want you to be happy. Do you remember what I said to Ming?" "Then you can't see that I love you?" Peizhu felt that her whole body was getting hot to the point of melting, so she couldn't help bursting out these words. Renmin smiled gently: "I think I can see it. I was waiting for this day." "So you had this thought when you came here?" Happiness made Peizhu forget the darkness, sorrow, and everything around her, she asked with a satisfied smile. "It's all accidental. I don't know it myself. We had a chance to love each other when we were in S land. But at that time I just buried love, and I even hated it," Renmin replied bluntly, as if he saw that those things were all moving toward each other. He receded far away. Peizhu's beautiful face covered everything, and there were a pair of big shining eyes on that face, like two stars. "When I got here, you inspired my love, you ignited my passion. I can say to you without any shame: I love you..." He suddenly changed his tone and demanded in a lower voice: "Give me a kiss." Peizhu turned her face to him and said enthusiastically, "Why should I be stingy with my lips? Maybe tomorrow I will leave this world and leave you." She stretched her mouth up to meet his bowed mouth.The two bodies were joined together without moving, and the light of the flashlight went out. "No, your duty will not come so early," Renmin said dreamily. "It's never too late for this rotation. What if I die tomorrow?" Peizhu replied dreamily. "I will remember you in my heart, and I will cry for you. I will continue your work even harder," he said with emotion, enthusiasm filling his body. "Renmin, I have no nostalgia, I am not afraid, I can take all the blows. Maybe tomorrow the world will sink into darkness, but my faith will never be shaken..." As she continued, her voice Lower, "we'll be gone in a minute. Right now, this time...your lips...your hands...they're so strong...so strong...I'm not afraid...I have faith... ...kiss me..." she mumbled, and slowly, slowly her voice dropped to nothing. "Don't talk, be quiet...ah, your eyes, your lips..." Renmin whispered.He pressed his lips down and kissed her hard, holding her body tighter with both hands.He also felt her embrace very clearly.Happiness surrounded the two.But gradually the enthusiasm was fading. In the silent night, there was a sudden noise. The flashlight fell from Renmin's hand and landed among the green grass growing between the stone slabs. The noise was not loud.The two seemed to wake up from a sweet dream.Renmin let go of his hand slowly, looked at Peizhu and smiled slightly.He saw that her big eyes were shining, and there were pearls rolling in them. "You are crying, Peizhu," he said gently, "why are you crying? Love is not a sin." "I'm not crying, I'm happy," she replied, wiping her eyes. "When happiness comes, it will also make people cry...Look at the starry sky, how beautiful and soft the night is..." Renmin bent down to pick up the flashlight.Peizhu looked at the sky ecstatically.The sky suddenly seemed bigger, like a boundless sea, like a sky that covered everything, so calm, without a single wrinkle, all the same deep blue, with many stars hanging on it, like countless eyes .Suddenly a ray of light moved to the west, and it was a star setting to the west, and soon it fell into the sky and disappeared.She seemed to hear a whistle-like sound.She couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise. As soon as Renmin picked up the flashlight and got up, he asked in surprise: "What's the matter?" He put a hand on her shoulder. "A shooting star has fallen." She said, as if there was still a golden light swaying in front of her eyes. "A planet is destroyed," he said regretfully, looking at the sky. "That's life too. Peizhu, aren't you afraid?" "Life is being destroyed every day on this earth. I can also reach out and destroy a life. At that time, my hand will never shake. Renmin, do you believe it or not?" She said and put a hand on him flashed before his eyes. He grabbed the hand and put it to his lips, kissed it, and said emotionally, "I believe in you. You will do that, and so will I. We can do anything when necessary." "Let's go, it's too late." Peizhu retracted her hand, took Renmin's arm, and walked forward slowly. "Peizhu, do you really believe that the blow will come tomorrow?" Renmin asked while walking with a flashlight, when he suddenly remembered something. "Maybe not so soon. But I don't think it will be long. Why don't you go back to S? We shouldn't have kept you here, don't you regret it at all?" "Why regret it? Don't you see how happy I am with you?" He lowered his voice and said softly, "Especially by your side." He couldn't help but kissed her soft hair again. "We're really crazy tonight. If they saw what happened to us just now, they wouldn't know what to say." Peizhu suddenly pursed her lips and laughed softly. "This environment can easily drive people crazy," Renmin replied calmly, "but you remember: for us, maybe nothing will exist tomorrow." He had no fear, as if he was paraphrasing someone else's words.
