Chapter 37 【The Cross Country】

【The Cross Country】 The eldest brother of the Si family's house, worked in the Jiangsu Tax Bureau during the Occupation, and now the family is also hiding out.like him I have seen many people of this kind of ordinary reality among the subordinates of the agency, and I feel that I can see everything in them, but It was in Hangzhou in the past, and he was just the director of the general affairs of the No. 1 Middle School. Si's family met his eldest brother and sister-in-law to visit his aunt. , It can be the icing on the cake in this world.Even now, the Si family treats the eldest brother and the fourth uncle Chen Zemin as

The former chairman of Jiangsu Province has been arrested, and he mentioned it only as a concern.It doesn't matter if you are a relative, but you don't discuss it if you respect it. That is to say, the human world is still stable and profound, not impermanent and poor. The Si family is now separated from the little uncle's family in a bungalow, and the little uncle went to work with the Japanese in Manchuria in his later years. Officer, died of illness and was buried, only my aunt and Song Yu are here, but their family is all cold and cruel people.that little aunt My aunt is still Guo Chan's sister, and Wuhan has been dispatched to Guo Chan's army since I left.But this girl is a bit dignified

No, it's not sad that Auntie Si can get along with her even if she is a man who is not close to her neighbors.Song Yu has lungs Ill, I only went to middle school, now I'm 27 or 8 this year, I don't get married, I don't go out to work, I spend my brain at home all day His tendons and mind are all used in lending usury and investigating neighbors.I have only been here for three days, and he asked the fourth child, your family What kind of person is the guest, Mr. Zhang? Because the Si family mentioned me during the war, he suspected it from this clue.real What is he doing? Do you want him to take care of it?

The fourth child relayed Song Yu's words to me. I just felt that there was nothing I could do about this kind of person, but I couldn't be careless. During the day, they even have to check whether there are soldiers coming at the entrance of the village. At night, the dogs barking are also surprised, because these days outside Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou Shaozheng began to arrest people from the Nanjing government in an all-round way.Mr. Si took me to visit relatives and friends in a distant village. There is no certainty in what to do, avoid the limelight, and see if there is a way out.

Si Jun first took me to Chencai Middle School, where he used to teach, and asked me to play cards with that class of teachers, and stayed for three days .The fourth child has the best relationship with a sports teacher among his colleagues, but he told him the truth and discussed it, but he couldn't negotiate method.I couldn't help blaming the fourth child for his recklessness, but luckily the sportsman kept his mouth shut and cared about me.School There is a victory celebration here, and I don't feel heart-piercing when I see it.Chen Cai is forty miles away from the county seat of Zhuji, when the county seat

Occupied, the county government once moved here.I went for a walk alone, and walked to the quiet temple and ancestral hall behind the street. The traces of the deployment of the Anti-Japanese War are as new as they have been standing for a long time. So I went to Qin Xiangang's fourth aunt's house.Qinxiangang is a mountain village. At the end of the village there is Huangtugang. It is clean and moist, and naturally forms ripples. The strips are parallel like strings. There are pine and tea, and there are maize and mulberry. , the hillside has reclaimed layers of fields and gardens, and the people in the village are quiet, reminiscent of Wolonggang.The aunt's house

Some people in the city are arrogant and arrogant to their relatives and guests, but when their daughter returns from the county to her natal home, everyone That is, sitting on the eaves and chatting.Both the daughter and the son-in-law work at the County Agricultural and Forestry Experimental Site.I just listen to her talk, see look at her.Chongren during the 1911 Revolution, member of parliament in the first year of the Republic of China, female student during the May 4th Movement, Northern Expedition The early citizens, government officials, and even rural men and women in Shengxian County, Zhuji, went to Hangzhou and Shanghai to enter the yarn factory and work as aunts.

, all have the brightness and tranquility of the world of the Republic of China.And now that the War of Resistance has been won, even the woman at Qinxiangang also feels the same way. Straightforward. Si Jun only said that I was a guest from Hangzhou, a friend of his brother, and he brought me here for fun.So I played cards again, because For wanting to stay, there is no excuse other than playing cards.There was a middle-aged landlord in that village who had graduated from Anding Middle School in Hangzhou. , I met Si Jun, so he came to make a match, and invited us to dinner after a break.I pay attention everywhere when fleeing

Paying attention to others is originally to avoid evil and seek good fortune, but most of them are idle, just looking carefully.The landowner is a coward, Bullied everywhere.His people, his family, there is no such thing as a bright eyebrow.saw this, I really don't like the landlord.His wife is a young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin and delicate eyes. I was holding a baby to breastfeed, and I felt bad for her, probably that man would not be able to keep her.No one strong Sex, it really does not matter. The next day we went to a neighboring village, only two miles away from Qinxiangang, where there was also a gentry who was a family friend with Mr. Si.I

Most can't remember other people's names and faces, and it's easy to forget the places they've been, but meeting them now is the direct proof of this life.I Today, I walked through the stone road in the village, and the mulberry garden at Jingtou, and I was a guest in front of a family's hall, and had some food. Heart.Then I went to see the elementary school in the village with Si Jun. Evening school was over, and there were only desks and blackboards in the ancestral hall. It would be nice to be a teacher here, but there is no such opportunity.It's still night at Qinxian Gang.

Mr. Si and I still had no choice but to go back to Si's house for a while. In order to avoid people's eyes, we stayed on the road until dusk before reaching home.but in There was a sentry by the stream at the entrance of the village. It turned out that a regiment of soldiers had arrived, and the regiment leader stayed at Si's house.They are for the suppression of communism The third or fifth detachment of the party, passing by here, I don't want to be led away, but I can't turn back, so I have to enter the house There was nothing wrong with opening the door, and the army also left early the next morning. I don't know what to do, and I simply don't think about it, I just follow Si Jun's arrangement.he took me again Xu Village, forty or fifty miles away, walked with one of his female students, and the three of them walked.That girl's family is Xu Village He is a squire, his father and brother go out to do business, but they are dignified figures in the family.Xu Village is densely populated, with green hills and fertile fields. The primary school in the township is also a complete primary school. Mr. Si wanted to introduce me as a teacher there, but he recommended it to his father and brother. , I couldn't speak properly, and I had to come back after staying for two days.Five miles out of Xu village, sit down and rest in the road pavilion.road The rice in the side fields has been harvested, and the stems of the rice are so neat and tidy, and the eyes are full of autumn.The afternoon sun shines into the road pavilion , so light and leisurely, there are thousands of years of leisurely thinking. This time, when I returned to Si's house, I stayed there for seven or eight days.Si Jun was afraid that I would be bored, so he also accompanied me to hang out by the stream and the mountains in the village. scattered.One afternoon, I went to the mountain to look at the maize. When Mr. Fan was there, Mr. Si was talking to me, but she didn't talk about it. Wei Wei stands under a tung tree with a hoe, looking at the ground with her head down, she is very pitiful, but she is actually a bright and strong person. It comes out gentle and serene, standing like a flower branch slightly tilted, naturally charming. Mr. Fan has been planning for my stomach for days.She saw that Si Jun took me out several times to think about Toto's relatives and friends, but she never If there is any sign, she volunteered, and she accompanied me to her girlfriend's place.The girlfriend's surname is Xie, she is her colleague in the silkworm farm , a boy recognized her as his adoptive mother, and the two were considered good friends.Mr. Fan and I walked to the county seat, and then took a boat for another three days. More than ten miles of waterway, the weather is good along the way.When I arrived at the girlfriend's house in the evening, it turned out that I stepped onto the pier.Mr. Fan She only introduced me as her cousin, what reason did she make up, and said that she wanted to rest here for a year or so, and only borrowed a meal? Su, my character and the necessary expenses are all in charge of her.Unexpectedly, the girlfriend refused to agree, saying that it was a man who came Letter, she will move to Anqing next spring, her man works as a bank clerk in Anqing, but this is mostly an excuse.Mr. Fan listen I was unhappy because if it was her instead, she would have the loyalty and courage to agree. After being rejected, he was about to say goodbye overnight, but the girlfriend tried to persuade her to stay and stayed for another day.Linshui Folks, Mr. Fan accompanied me to see the front and back of the village.When I walked into a temple, she saw no one, so she told me The process of discussing with that girlfriend before going to bed at night.Although she didn't speak much, because of the difficult situation, she treated me more as her own. I also clearly feel that if someone appears in front of me, I will not be anxious and uncomfortable, I just Such wood skin.So the villagers saw that the two of us seemed to be idle with nothing to do, but I was not pretending.Hired again on the third day The boat arrived at the county seat, walked back to Si's house, and spent the night at Chen Cai's relatives' house on the way.When on a boat, two people should be careful when they talk , Don't get involved in my life experience, the boss of the anti-ship heard about it.On the way to and from the county seat, the two walked for a long time, and also Just speak as usual, because even though you are in distress, there is no special accident between heaven and earth.But also because it is Mr. Fan, She is the pinnacle of femininity, but she is not at all feminine. This is the first time I have such a woman who treats me as a friend. Merely being a friend is boundless. Later, it was Aunt Si's idea to ask me to live in Yashan's nanny's house in Maple Head, and the nanny knew me It was Young Master Hu who used to live in Si's house in Hangzhou. She also knew what happened to me afterwards, so don't keep her from it. She had no embarrassment, and Aunt Hades never failed to think of a thing.The nanny changed her name to call me Uncle and Young Master, yes The neighbor only said that he was Mr. Fan's cousin.She has nothing in mind for the people of the Nanjing government, the Kuomintang, or the Communist Party. If there is scum, I judge right and wrong by looking at people and things, let alone entrusted by my wife, and I have always known each other and know how to treat others. The guests themselves are polite, which is greater than right and wrong, so right and wrong do not fall into religion, so they are not alarmed when they take in fugitives.Original The generosity and righteousness of the heroes can be done by ordinary men and women in the folk.Han Xin is grateful to Piaomu and himself He said that he would repay his mother in the future, but he didn't know that Piao's mother heard it very differently.Like this, I think where I escaped Fang, and those who have met me, will be named after me in the future, but they don't know that the greatness of the people is indescribable. Fengshutou is a small village, fifteen miles away from Si's house, on the side of the main road leading to the county town, the mountains are approaching, all Some small families who farm and cultivate land.The nanny's family is also poor, but she can live a life. She lost her husband in her early years, and her daughter has died. Married, now she is the only one in the family.She is over 50 years old, but because she has been to Hangzhou, she is lively and unrestrained, so she asked me to live here. Don't worry here, it's okay.I'd rather keep an eye out for myself, not strike up a conversation with the villagers, and only go to the small stream during the day For fun, sometimes I go up the mountain with my nanny to dig sweet potatoes, and go down to the fields to pull beans.The sitting room at the nanny's home is connected to the stove room, and the evening meal After eating, while washing the dishes, she told me about the benefits of my wife, about the Japanese during the war, when the Japanese Passed by Maple Head a few times. The nanny said, "The Japanese soldiers who came here in the first two years were all young and good-looking. Gradually, it became bad-looking. What she said was actually more optimistic than Wu Jizha, knowing the rise and fall of the country.She said again The translation is the worst, once a Japanese soldier lodged at her house and asked for wine, rice, and a flower girl, but she coaxed them all. Fortunately for the Japanese soldier, when he marched out the next day, he left her a piece of soap that was left over. On the way, the interpreter turned around and asked her if she wanted it, how much the soap was worth, and besides, the two countries were at war, but As long as the Japanese have a share of courtesy, the Chinese people still appreciate it. Also last year, the Japanese soldiers had already left and came back at night, because a Japanese soldier was left behind halfway. , was beaten to death by the Chinese guerrillas, they came to look for people, surrounded Fengshutou and searched.Seeing that the coming was not right, the villagers Everyone fled, but fortunately it was night, there was a faint moon and stars, everyone went up the mountain, and hid in the wheat field before it was too late.Milk Ma just fled to the wheat field, but was stopped by a Japanese soldier on the opposite side. In Tiaotianyuan, the voices and flashlights of Japanese soldiers were all over the main road. It was too late and then quickly, and the Japanese soldier had already started his car. He stabbed at her with a gun and rushed towards her, within a distance of ten feet, she was startled, but said seriously, "What are you doing? ? "It's like an adult scolding a child, but she escaped. Now that the nurse is talking about it, it's still the same Laughed in panic and accusation.At such a critical moment, before the Japanese soldiers, she was still human to human, not a god. Facing the demon, or the demon confronting the god.Her smile is the pinnacle of human development, it is really romantic. Maple tree head will be the heaviest since that robbery.A woman in the village was captured by Japanese soldiers and tied naked behind her back to a tree by the side of the road. superior.Another married daughter went back to her natal home to take care of her father's illness. She couldn't leave her father alone on the hospital bed to take care of herself. He escaped, but was rushed upstairs by some Japanese soldiers, and molested the daughter in front of his father.Later, the son-in-law did not In other words, this is really pure minded.Now that Japan has been defeated, the nanny talks about these things without any emotion.people In the world, right and wrong are clearly distinguished, but it is just like the way of heaven, blessing, good, and misfortune. Entangled by the enemy's karma, I can't be open-minded. Sometimes when I don't talk to her, the nurse will do things and sing a little tune at the same time, it is the young maid and the coachman The concierge betrayed the old lady, fought in the front yard and backyard, and flirted with each other. When the nanny was young, she lived in Hangzhou. Si's family was originally not for people, but it was not suitable for her current age, let alone in her own home in the countryside. .But I like her incongruity, like a pipe caught in a pipe.Cracking the feet and opening the chest, shaking the soul. But every time the nurse goes to the chicken coop, she digs out a pile of old shoes from the chicken coop to change, I feel very uncomfortable watching .For Aileen, I always think that the new era should also be prosperous.Once again, farmers rushing to the market on the main road passed by, With a heavy shoulder, talking while walking, one of them, about twenty years old, was telling his companions that they did something in the town yesterday. In a play, he stayed overnight at a relative's house, and his mother-in-law grabbed a handful of dried lychees and gave him a midnight snack, "It's really delicious! Before going to bed, I threw one into my mouth, and then another, and it rattled! "I only feel miserable when I hear it, then Such poverty is such a waste of life.Eighteen drawers are sung in Houyou nunnery, Pull out the first drawer, the melon seeds and peanuts have no heads, Pull out the second drawer, cloud slices walnut sesame balls, Pull out the third drawer, throw away the longan and lychee balls, The fourth drawer is very elegant, and the chain cake is printed with blessings and longevity...... In the early years of the Republic of China, the farmer and village girls still had such a beautiful heart, but the current situation is really shocking.But I firmly believe that there are new The peace and prosperity of the country, and it must be these farmer village girls and small citizens in the metropolis who will create the world. People say that maple tree head has a bad atmosphere.There is a young woman next door to the nanny, who is in the rice field during the day, teasing and wrestling with men When I come to Jiaodu, sometimes I come to the nanny's house after supper, have tea and chat with the men in the village, and talk indiscriminately. The words moved again.This also has a kind of health, like the words and sentences of Youxian Cave, but it is always vulgar. The room in front of the hall where I sleep is shared by the nanny and her two families. The basket is also placed in the corner, and her dressing table is also placed by me. The window in front of the bed.In the morning, the young woman came in to do her dressing. Sometimes I hadn't got up yet, so I had to put down the curtains, and I was very happy to see her. Looking at it carefully, I only brushed my hair to cover the mirror, and walked away lightly. At this time, there is the most beautiful and clear. Mr. Fan came to see me once, and he called me sister and brother in front of people. Although it was only on the surface, I was also happy in my heart.also It was Mr. Si who came and went to the county town, and every time he bent over to see me at the nanny's house.I asked him to go to Hankou to confess to Guo He brought her here to rescue Xunde, but he failed in the end.Xun De was arrested, I saw it in the newspaper , I once thought of committing myself to replace her, but it can't be so romantic, and she will be released soon .I often go to Jianshui and write the names of two people on the freshly wet sand with bamboo branches. Only Fengri and Jianshui know, It is only with Fengri and Jianshui that there is no suspicion.And on the beam of the pavilion on the side of the mountain, it was also written with a pen, even my own I have three names, and I still remember the year and month, so I am careful not to be discovered by passers-by. The nanny's daughter, she stayed with her mother at Si's house in Hangzhou when she was young, and called Miss Yashan and her sister, so when it comes to me, she Also know.This time it was her husband's village where there was a drama, she came to pick me up to relax, she led me out of the road , Turning around the mountain and crossing the bridge, she looks like azalea on the side of the mountain, but within five miles, the village can be seen.home She brought melon seeds and peanuts out of the pan, called me Mr. Zhang in front of people, and treated me like a family member, and accompanied me to the theater after eating snacks Under the station. On the stage, there is an official who died and changed his clothes and hats. I couldn't help but feel sore when I saw it.Going down is Panfu, The official was recruited by Yan Song's family. After a few days of marriage, the lady asked him why he was unhappy, and sang, Dan, could it be that the wife looks ugly, and the husband-in-law doesn't like it? Life and husband and wife are not based on appearance, your appearance is better than Shih Tzu. Dan, could it be that the houseboys and maidservants are disrespectful, and the husband is late in responding? People who live and study have great ambitions, so I don't care about it. The libretto of the lady below, which Yufeng heard in the past, reminds people of Mrs. Sun of the Eastern Wu Dynasty treating her husband Liu Bei, and because of It was written by a farmer and a village girl, and it has a kind of humility.Seeing her sincerity, the official was grateful, and he sang: Health, I am an adulterous woman, I don’t know what it is, Lansun grows among the thorns, Lan Zhen treats me sincerely, Go forward and hold your hand and call, (Bai), lady, Dan, officials, Sheng sing, who do you think Xiaosheng is? Dan Bai, Hangzhou Zhang Rong, Born Bai, Feiye, (Bai), who lives in Hangzhou and Nanjing, is not Zhang Lai. His original surname is Ah Zeng. Seeing this, my tears will flow down, not because of sorrow and sorrow, but because of meeting relatives. I lived with my nanny for two months.The season has entered the early winter, and the world outside is still full of soldiers. The Party and the Communist Party are vying to take over Northeast China. The posters in Shanghai have been publishing Mrs. Wu's wife, She Aizhen, and Mrs. Li Shiqun's wife, Ye Ji Qing is like Su Sanqi, and Nanjing is Zhou Fohai in the prison car with tears streaming down his face.But here you can only see the trees falling and the mountains empty, and the roadside (Wood+mortar) The child is like snow, and I am like Jia Dao's poem, "Walking alone in the shadow of the stream, counting breaths by the trees." Dear.
