Chapter 30 chapter eight

The donkey cart slowly walked up a gentle and long high slope.That's two-thirds of the way on his way back.Their Weijiaqiao brigade, county and provincial capital form an obtuse triangle.On his return, he didn't pass by the county seat, but walked along the Yellow River. Although the road was a little closer, it was desolate and the scenery was monotonous and deserted. The high slopes are bare, with only dots of camel thorns scattered on the yellow sand like patches of shadows. Below the slopes are collapsed cliffs, which are as straight as a knife cut because there are no plant roots involved.On the slope, the starry sky looks more limited, and the surrounding fields look more open.Night Breeze, following the donkey cart up the slope, whispered softly in his ear from front to back.Down the slope, the turbid river water is not very reflective, and you can't see the stars dancing on the water, and there is no reflection of the moon, but the whole Yellow River is shining, forming a broad, broad, and silvery belt of light. Floating majesticly to the east, it seems that it is her endless rotation around the earth that drives the two sides of the river, the mountains, and the rotation of the earth.

He is not used to pondering the philosophies of life, but every night when everything is silent, when he looks down at the quiet Yellow River under the moonlight, he is always attracted by a profound, mysterious and inexplicable force, wanting to He thinks, asks him to explore the mysteries of life - including past, present and future. However, the fate of a person is not like the turbulence of a river, which can be seen at a glance. Often an idea, a flash of thought, or an obstacle suddenly appears at an unexpected time, changing the flow of a person's future life. Once it appears, it becomes a destiny. inevitability.He encountered such a situation when he was in a frenzy...

However, let us narrate it according to his own recollections. The "Leather Manufacturing Alliance" seized the power of the county party committee, and the "Red Leather Manufacturing Alliance" seized the power of the "Leather Manufacturing Alliance". Although there are a group of workers, poor and lower-middle peasants, and government officials in front of the "Red Leather Made" stage, the former secretary of the county party committee Wang Yihu is behind him shaking the feather fan.Wang Yihu ran out from his hometown where he was hiding, and planned a strategy. The first thing he did was to arrest two people: one was of course Wu Shangrong, and the other, which no one expected, was actually his partner You Xiaozhou.

You Xiaozhou was caught again, which gave him a great stimulus. He also heard that the chief and deputy secretary could not urinate in a pot when he came up, but he never thought that Wang Yihu would use such a pear flower gun. : As soon as he took power, he took advantage of the "Red Flag" magazine's publication of "From Peng Dehuai's Failure to China's Khrushchev's Bankruptcy" to label You Xiaozhou a "Peng Dehuai element". The tigers in the east mountain cannibalize people, and the tigers in the west mountain also eat people.Wu Shangrong is a bad bear, and Wang Yihu is not a good guy either.He was gearing up in the county party committee compound, wanting to go back and summon the "peasant red guards" to do another round, but a well-meaning political officer came and quietly told him that the order to arrest You Xiaozhou was stamped with the seal of the province, because Beijing approved a letter from him to the central government.Do you object?That is counter-revolution; don't you agree?That is anti-Party. "As for You Xiaozhou himself, didn't he obediently get in the jeep and leave?"

It wasn't fear, but disappointment; "Bear!" Wang Yihu, who is also from the Northwest, scolded him in front of the leaders of the "Red Leather Manufacturing", "Donkey hair can't be rolled into felt, savage can't be an official; dog meat can't be served on the banquet. Go, put him Get it back for me!" Correspondents in the county ran to Weijiaqiao twice in three days to ask him to drive back to the Yamen-although it was a piece of "dog meat", but the county's revolutionary regime would not be a "seat" without this famous representative of the poor and lower-middle peasants.He pretended to be ill at first, but then he became more and more suffocated when he thought about it, and suddenly lost his temper:

"What's wrong? You want to detain his father and me as a 'Peng Dehuai' and send him to the provincial prison? Don't even think about it! Go back! Tell your king, a 'rabbit', that his father and I are Peng Dehuai! Let's see if he can Fuck me! Heh heh, Seventh Grade Sesame Officer, just like me, he has no culture at all, and I can't even pinch him in my eyes!" After the little correspondent ran back in dismay, there was another gossip in the county—and at that time, the gossip was always more accurate than the big news, saying that Wang Yihu and the "Red Leather" gang were going to drag him to the county again to criticize him.

The chicken also flew and the eggs were beaten.Over there, they counterattacked the "Leather Alliance", and here they offended the "Red Leather Association".Seeing that the rice is about to tiller, there is an urgent need for special fertilizer allocated by the county.But this time, it was time for him to wear small shoes made of "red leather". "Oh, the leather and the leather are all fucking fleas!" He circled around the brigade's office dejectedly. It often happens in life that the person you respect never has the opportunity or the courage to get close to him. The person you don’t respect seems to have formed an indissoluble bond with you, and you can’t leave him everywhere.His relationship with You Xiaozhou and He Lide is like this.

When he was at a loss and had nowhere to go, a young man with a black artificial leather backpack and a green military uniform came to Weijiaqiao. "Are you Comrade Wei Tiangui?" The young man stood up from his chair reservedly, and looked at him curiously like a celebrity. "Hmm." He had just returned from the rice field, and with muddy feet on his feet, he cast a gloomy glance at the visitor: These days, young people are like gods, bewitched by evil spirits, and this Gawa is wearing a military uniform. But the thin-skinned and white-fleshed man speaks with eloquence, so he doesn't have the mighty demeanor of a soldier.He felt awkward in his heart. "What are you looking for me for?"

"Do you know the handwriting of Comrade Holly's signature?" The young man approached him from across the desk, asking with the creepy expression that is often seen in movies when secret agents meet. He stared at the young man alertly, and stretched out his hand: "Bring it." The young man quickly took out a piece of paper folded into a small square from his pocket, unfolded it and handed it to him. The note was only two fingers wide, and it seemed that it was ready to be swallowed anytime. He frowned, staring at the note with one eye—in fact, he couldn’t recognize the handwriting of Hu Lide at all, and the other eye was watching the young man’s expression—he had to guard against Wang Yihu’s trick: trick him into the county up, and grab it.He didn't raise his head until he felt that this young man was really sent by He Lide:

"Tell me, what's the matter?" "Huh," the young man pointed at the note inexplicably, "isn't it written on it?" "If I ask you anything, just say whatever you want." The young man sucked his lips angrily but dared not speak: "Comrade Holly, please come into the city immediately." "Okay." He hurriedly pushed away the grand master's chair and stuffed his arms into the sleeves. "Let's go now." "Hey... Secretary He said 'immediately' is not now." The young man no longer held back, stood up hurriedly, shaking his dusty military uniform, dumbfounding, "Look, here, I just got off the bus. , now the bus back to the city is gone.”

"Let's go!" He slapped his hand and said decisively, "Let's go now, it's just getting dark when we reach the county town, and we'll arrive at the provincial capital tomorrow morning. To tell you the truth, I can't show up in the county town during the day." One night, the thin-skinned and white-fleshed little Gazi ran with him for nearly a hundred miles, wearing a suit of yellow dust, and wearing out his revolutionary will and energy.Entering the provincial capital early in the morning, I went to a breakfast shop to eat two bowls of stuffed skin, and then led him through the streets and alleys, until I found this place in a very secluded alley. This is the residence he went to today.But it was very dilapidated at that time, and there was a garbage station at the door, and the waste paper of big-character posters was being burned, and the smoke was lingering. No one would have thought that there were dragons hiding and tigers crouching here. "Aha, old man, come on!" The moment they first met, Holliday first gave him the impression that he hadn't seen him for eight months, and this man had changed, becoming approachable and sophisticated—this was probably also the great achievement of the Cultural Revolution. "Come on, let me introduce you." After entering the room, Holly held his arm affectionately and gently pushed him in front of two cadres in their forties and a woman in their thirties. "This is what I mean by Wei Tiangui. To be honest, the Weijiaqiao Brigade is an independent kingdom that he can't get into, and a needle can't penetrate-ha, don't mind, I don't mean that you are the 'Beijing Municipal Committee'. Just kidding, just kidding !——The scenery there is good, the transportation is convenient, and the most important thing is absolute insurance!" Two cadres with tired faces sat on the bench and looked him up and down with forced smiles, as if they were estimating his insurance factor.The woman sitting on the bed was very active, waved her hand softly, spread her middle finger again, pointed at Holly and laughed with a provincial accent: "Listen to what you told me a few days ago, I thought he was a dull old farmer. Isn't this obviously Yang Zirong from "Fighting the Tiger Up the Mountain"!" "Look at you, Wei Qing, when did I say he was an old farmer?" He Lide was wearing a neat blue uniform, his face was clean-shaven, he looked radiant and energetic, and he was the same as when he was in the toilet eight months ago. Ruo and the two said with a smile, "Let me tell you honestly, he has long seen that the 'Revolutionary Union' group of people are pure counter-revolutionaries. To be honest, he knew him earlier than us. It is really Chairman Mao. It is true: 'The humble are the wisest, and the noble are the stupidest!'” At that time, the furnishings in this house were also very simple, as if they belonged to this woman named "Wei Qing".She brought tea and a chair that had come off its tenon from the next room.During the pleasantries, he was sensitively aware that the first thing these four people had to do when they gathered in this room early in the morning was to wait for his arrival.They waited for him, they welcomed him, and that meant they wanted him.He activated his brain computer and calculated the degree to which they needed each other, which was roughly equal to one to one.So he smiled at a few people neither humble nor overbearing, and sat next to the woman who said he was a tiger-fighting hero. "Let's do this," He Lide still stood and looked at his watch, "the time is running out, we have other things to do in a while. I will give you an account of the task. And you, don't participate in any activities publicly in the future, and keep it secret." Get up. You have cleared up a few better houses in the Weijiaqiao Brigade to receive the people I send you here. You must let them eat well and live well-the money is made of "red leather" in the province. Most of all The important thing is to ensure their safety, and they can be transferred to the east of the river when necessary, and they must not be allowed to fall into the hands of those ghosts and monsters. Do you understand?" All four looked at him nervously.He also looked at their faces one by one, thought for a while, and nodded slightly. "Okay!" He Lide said happily, "I know, you are a smart person. To be honest, all the leaders I sent you here are the leaders of the provincial and local agencies. You must not show your tone. Of course, I know, You are a prudent person, so you entrust such an important matter to you. You must be mentally prepared, this struggle to seize power and fight against it will be long-term. 'Whoever wins and loses in the revolution will take a long historical period It can only be solved if you are inside.' I will also send you a liaison officer to help you receive these leading comrades who have been quarreled..." "Who?" He hated the slug who had dragged him all night and was now snoring next door, so he couldn't help interrupting Holliday's eloquent deployment. "Here," He Lide smiled and pointed to the woman, "Comrade Liu Weiqing, originally named Liu Yuqing, a cadre of the Commercial Bureau, our brave female adventurer." "Comrade Liu Weiqing" seemed to want to hit He Lide, raised his hand and waved in the air, then turned his head and smiled at him. "Hmm." He also nodded to Liu Weiqing, expressing his satisfaction. "But... the 'Red Leather Manufacturing' in the county..." "Oh, oh," Holly shook his head with a disdainful expression, "you don't have to worry about that. I know that there is a little misunderstanding between you and Lao Wang. To be honest, he is just like you, but he is also a big bastard. He’s still a good comrade. Don’t worry about it. After we’re done talking, I’ll make a long-distance call to Lao Wang. From then on, you don’t need to care about those people in the county. It's hard to say, "You...are you reluctant to part with that black gauze hat? To be honest, I always think it's too conspicuous for you to have a name in the county." Rotten sheepskin can also be exchanged for sesame candy!He immediately pretended to be in love, and smacked his lips "tsk, tsk". "Tsk, here, Secretary He, look..." "Don't call me 'Secretary He'." Hollide patted him on the shoulder sincerely, "In the future, just like that day, call me 'Old He'. To be honest, I will never forget that day—it’s been a long time Seeing people's hearts, Lu Yao knows horsepower!" Then, he comforted him and said, "I think, let's forget about the false name, okay? In the future, I will take care of you Weijiaqiao in other aspects, isn't it the same?" In order to increase the weight of his "rotten sheepskin", he lowered his head for a long time without making a sound, and the four people next to him looked at each other anxiously.It wasn't until he felt that the time was right that he nodded as if aggrieved. In the afternoon of that day, he rushed back to Weijiaqiao, and when he came back, he was sitting on the bus in an upright manner.Liu Weiqing personally took him to the station, bought him a ticket, and handed him two apples through the window, saying that he was afraid he would be thirsty on the way. After getting off the bus in the county seat, he swaggered into the compound of the county party committee and found the office with the sign of "Production Headquarters".Seeing him coming in, the supervisor took out the signed bill of lading from the drawer before he opened his mouth.He saw that the allocated fertilizer would make him worry that the warehouse would not be able to hold it.Wang Yihu probably felt embarrassed instead and didn't meet him face to face. According to He Lide's request, he directed the members to clean up three decent houses.Two days later, Liu Weiqing led the first batch of leading cadres to take refuge.In order to keep it strictly confidential, the names and positions of the visitors were not told to him.However, even though these people were gloomy and frightened, one could still tell from their demeanor and gait that they were all people in sleeper cars, and some of them were very familiar, maybe they had seen them on the rostrum in the past. Liu Weiqing—Although Liu Yuqing is no longer young, her big eyes are still very lively, and she always giggles with bright teeth.His chestnut-black hair was tied into two small braids like the Red Guards; the green military uniform he was wearing had obviously been carefully tailored by himself and stretched over his plump body. "Don't think that the rebellion is so lively now that it can rebel against the Communist Party?" She took things out of her bag and spread chess, playing cards, and fruit candies on the table, and said to him, "I am a rebel. , but I can see through it better than others: the world cannot be reversed by the Communist Party, and these veteran cadres will have to take power in the future. Old Wei, I see you are a smart person. We are just like ordinary people. I used to stand on West Street The counter, but we are not stupid than them. Don’t look at cadres like Lao He, they are all stupid looking at the documents, so he keeps talking about your enlightenment to him. Go ahead! Your benefit." "Oh," he said with a cold smile, "you really know how to do business." "No," Liu Weiqing said again, "to put it bluntly, the Cultural Revolution is a big deal!"
