Chapter 45 Chapter 09

Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Min was walking along the road, pinching the thing with one hand in the pocket of her school uniform. He was very excited, but he tried to look as if nothing had happened.He deliberately lowered his head from time to time, but secretly looked at the pedestrians in front and back. "He killed two people, and he himself died." These words suddenly broke into his ears.He looked up in surprise.Next to the brick pillars under the arcade stood two apprentices talking. "He's really good. He was shot. He got up and shot people." "They said his name was Min. He was young and tall."

The two young men were talking innocently there with admiration in their faces and tone of voice.Min knew what they were talking about.Hearing the word "Min", he glanced at the apprentice in surprise, but he understood immediately, a tall and tall figure appeared in front of his eyes, with a gray cloth gown, sneakers, and that long face. "He is the same as De, even his appearance is the same as De," he said painfully in his heart.The familiar voice suddenly sounded next to his ear: "It's not possible now, it's not your turn now... It's not an individual, it's a system."

He felt that countless needles were piercing his heart, and the pain made his whole body tremble.His face spasmed again. He said in his heart: "Why is it your turn again? Aren't you the same person as me?" The corpse lying in a pool of blood immediately appeared in front of his eyes.He imagined how the man hid in the dark and took Browning to shoot, how he fell down injured, got up and fired again.He seemed to see strands of blood emerging from his body. "You're not going to die," he whispered comfortingly, and no one heard him.He had left the two apprentices and moved on.

He walked slowly, as if waiting for someone.He lowered his head from time to time, unwilling to let people see his face more.But the thought was still chasing him. "We don't need violence now, it will destroy us." The long face appeared in front of his eyes again, opened his mouth, and said these words.Following these words, gunshots rang out.Then the face disappeared instantly. "You—why did you—" He wanted to ask a question, but he only uttered these words, his voice was very low. "I'm so excited," he thought, reaching out his other hand to wipe his eyes a few times.

It was a nice sunny day and everything was bathed in bright sunshine.The road was very crowded, there were still so many pedestrians, making noise, laughing, and quiet, just like usual; but in Min's eyes, they were all strangers, as if they were a world away from him. A rickshaw passed, then another.Later, six or seven women carried the burden and walked beside him.Their buns are covered with red flowers, a pair of bare feet are exposed underneath, and beads of sweat flow down their temples. "They don't know," he whispered, and smiled pitifully. "I'm being followed." This thought suddenly pierced his mind, and he almost jumped up.He noticed a person following him, it was a young man wearing only a shirt with a lapel on his upper body. "I'm ruined." He secretly worried.

He walked slowly, deliberately pretending not to know, and buried his head in thought. But soon he turned around and walked back, which was unexpected by the man.The man just walked forward and almost bumped into his body.He saw the man's mouse-like eyes. The man paused for a moment, as if it was inconvenient for him to follow Min and turn around immediately. Min turned around and walked hurriedly. When the man caught up, there were several steps between them.Min turned his eyes around and saw a tavern next to him. He planned to sneak in and hide when the man was out of sight. He knew that he could see the road from the tavern.

He walked under the arcade and was about to enter the tavern when he suddenly heard the sound of a car in front of him.His heart jumped violently immediately, he quickly withdrew his feet, turned and walked down the road, standing on the side of the road waiting for the car to come. Before the car arrived, two policemen were busy chasing pedestrians.Some people quarreled, and they all stepped back to the sides, making way for a wide path.Min pushed her way to the front.The police stopped him with a whip.He stood in front of the policeman.He turned his head to look for the person who was following him just now, and he saw that person was huddling among the crowd and was about to come forward, with two mouse-like eyes constantly looking in his direction.

"I've won," Min thought, smiling smugly.His right hand lifted the thing in the school uniform pocket. The car appeared before his eyes.He could see the two horses standing on the pedals outside the car from a distance.He watched the car closely, his eyes and one hand focused.He waited impatiently. The car was approaching, and it flew over at once.He forgot everything and rushed out, and he did it so fast that no one could stop him in time.All he could see was the car and nothing else.He didn't even see the faces in the car clearly.He frantically took out the contents of the bag and threw them on the ground in front of the car.

Then the sound of an explosion suddenly sounded.His eyes were blurred and he lost consciousness completely after a bout of excruciating pain. There was a great commotion in the middle of the street, crying and shouting overwhelmed everything else.People quickly fled, leaving only the spacious road.Debris from cars and dead and wounded people littered the road.Ma Bian was killed, one injured, and the brigade commander was slightly injured.Not far from the car, Min lay in a pool of blood, his face could not be seen clearly, it was covered with blood.One foot left his body. Peizhu accompanied Dehua to the Women's Association.At first they heard the explosion and didn't know what happened. Then they saw many people fleeing into the alley, and everyone ran with frightened faces, as if something terrible was chasing them.

"What's the matter?" Dehua stopped a middle-aged man and asked. "The Brigadier has been assassinated." The man panted and ran away. It was as if a thunderbolt had struck the heads of the two girls, and they were stunned.After a while, Peizhu suddenly stretched out a trembling hand to touch Dehua's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It must be him. Let's go and see." They walked hurriedly into the street.It was more crowded there.Some people retreated from the front, while others squeezed up from behind. "The Brigadier is not dead." A rough voice broke into their ears, twisting their brains.They turned their heads to look, and a black-faced man in short clothes walked by excitedly.

"It's over," Peizhu whispered painfully into Dehua's ear, a gleam of terror in her eyes. "It's not him, it's not him," Edward said, shaking his head blankly.A person bumped into her head-on, making her unable to stand on her feet, and she fell backwards, but was supported by Peizhu. They squeezed forward again, and squeezed into the crowd with great effort. Both of them had sweat on their foreheads and wet balls on their backs.The sweat from the men around rushed towards their noses.It is also difficult for them to move their bodies.The people in front blocked their way, and the people behind squeezed their way forward. "Hui is here," Dehua said to Peizhu in a low voice. She saw Hui's head protruding not far in front of her. Her hair was still floating and covered half of her face. She pointed Hui to Peizhu to see.She called out at the same time: "Hui." "Don't call her," Peizhu hurriedly stopped Dehua.But Hui seemed to hear the call, she turned her head to look, and soon saw them.She doesn't smile or speak.She just nodded to them and exchanged a painful glance.She looked back to the front again and moved her body forward. Peizhu also pulled Dehua to squeeze forward, just as a few people in front walked away, leaving a gap, they ran over, put in a little more force, sweated once, and they were behind Hui. "Hui." Dehua leaned over and called out in relief. "That's Min," Hui whispered, looking back at them, "he ruined himself." Tears were about to fall from the corners of her eyes.Peizhu silently stretched out a hand to hold Hui's right hand tightly.The front seemed to loosen a bit, and the people behind just rushed forward, and they took this opportunity to move forward a few steps.They were almost at a crossroads. The people in front didn't leave, so they had no choice but to stand on tiptoe and watch, but they saw countless human heads and nothing else.The sun was drying their hair, and the sweat made their clothes cling to their backs.When they were in a hurry, many people suddenly stepped back, which made them unable to stand, and followed them back a few steps unsteadily. "The murderer is dead." "It's terrible." "It's covered in blood." Many words came from many people's mouths, and their ears could only catch these few words at once. They hid under the arcade and stood beside the brick pillars, watching the crowd recede like a tide.Hui suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed Peizhu's arm.Those few words rang in her ears uninterruptedly. "Let's squeeze up again." Hui said this resolutely, without asking the consent of the two female companions, she ran to the middle of the road by herself.Peizhu and Dehua also ran over. Most people run to the back, but they want to go to the front.But the fleshy screen stood in front of them, blocking them.With sweat on their faces, they frantically ran into the crowd, often taking two steps and then taking a step back. The people in front saw them rushing like this, so they cast some surprised and mocking eyes on their faces. "You girls like to watch the excitement." "There is no way to get through." "There is a martial law to prevent people from passing through." Several voices and a few words spit out to their faces. Suddenly a bugle sounded ahead.They retreated to the arcade again, and stood in front of a shop, only to see people running behind. Gradually, the spectators ran away.Then a small group of armed soldiers appeared, and they approached with two cars. "It must be going to the hospital," Peizhu whispered, but she couldn't see the people in the car clearly. The soldiers hugged the car and walked away.Many people gathered around again.They squeezed in too.But the front is still not allowed to pass.Everyone stood for a long time before the military police guarding the intersection lifted the ban, let a few people pass, and then let some people pass.Hui, Peizhu, and Dehua all passed away. In the middle of that street is where it happened.The man had just carried away Ma Bian's body. The wrecked car was still on the ground.Not far away is Min's dead body. Some people looked around the corpse.They also squeezed in.There was no doubt that it was Min's face, although it was stained with blood, but the outline of the face could be recognized by them.There was blood all over his body.One foot left the thigh and flew beside the car. "Min, this is your duty," Hui wanted to say, but before she could say it, she burst into tears again.Never before had her heart ached so badly. She seemed to see that bloody face opened her mouth and said: "Will you always remember me?" Dehua leaned against Peizhu's body tightly, she lowered her head, and her eyes were wet. "Let's go," Peizhu whispered to them, trying to hold back her excitement.She knew that neither Hui nor Dehua should stay here for a long time, so she dragged them away. Hui ignored Peizhu at first, and she just buried her head in looking at the dead body.After several urgings from Peizhu, she followed Peizhu away.Dehua couldn't support it long ago, her face was ugly pale, and her eyes were full of tears. The three of them kept silent on the road, as if they were angry about one thing.Then they came to the old temple. Two groups of people gathered under the banyan tree in the square, talking about the explosion.They went inside, first to the Women's Association. Ying was talking to Hui Qun in the reception room, when he saw them coming in, he asked, "Do you guys know about that?" Peizhu responded and nodded. "I think Chen must have been seriously injured." Although Ying was a little excited, there was still a joyful expression on her face. She thought it was good news. Peizhu shook her head in pain, she remained silent. "Min is dead, he did it." Hui cried out, and she immediately walked into the inner room.Dehua also followed in. Ying's joy was driven away by Hui's words.She swept Peizhu's face with horrified eyes, and asked tremblingly, "Really?" Peizhu lowered her head and said painfully, "Why not? We saw his dead body just now, it was bloody." Ying stared at Peizhu in shock, tears burst out of her eyes. She still seemed to see Min's face moving before her eyes. "Why did he do such a thing? No one sent him to do it. I really don't understand." Hui Qun asked her question bluntly with tears in her eyes. "I know, I've known. But he's made up his mind," Peju replied mournfully. "When you think about it, he's been through so much pain, he's seen so many people die, he's a man with too much emotion. Agitation ruins him. He's always yearning for sacrifice." "But this time he completely ruined our plans. Why didn't you stop him when you knew?" Shadow said, sobbing, his voice low but serious. "Yes, he will bring us more oppression. But how can I stop him?" Peizhu said, holding back tears. "Both Yadan and I persuaded him. But he didn't listen, and we didn't expect him to do this—" Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Chen Qing running into the room with a pale face.He came to report Fang Yadan's ending.
