Chapter 27 Chapter 27

As a result of the tall man's visit to Shanghai, he did not invite a company or platoon of revolutionary troops back with him.The military chief who arrived just now said that the town was remote and not important in military affairs, and Shanghai was in such a mess here that there was no reason to send troops there.The train failed, so the tall man took the "foot rowing boat" specially hired by the post office to go back to town; on this kind of boat, he had to lie still, so he used a bundle of newsprint of the day as a pillow, and there were firelights on it. , Gunshots, blue sky and bright sun, workers struggling, and so on, the amazing news with large characters.After a water journey of more than one hundred miles, the archery-like "foot rowing" came and arrived at around nine o'clock in the evening.Jiang Tiger Lu Sanfu and a group of young people couldn't help but be disappointed when they saw that only a tall guy came back.But it doesn't matter, you can still "harvest the mulberry elm", the police have already contacted them, and everyone's arms will be wrapped with "green and white" symbols, indicating that they are active rather than passive forces.The tall man described what he saw and heard in Shanghai to everyone, saying that the people are so heroic and great, which is probably unprecedented in history.This made everyone eager to try, wishing to have a gun in their hands immediately.

A bundle of newsprint was scattered that night, and the literate and illiterate, as if they had received a fortune-telling sign, all opened their eyes to read it.A person shouts in astonishment, "Come!" This "Come!" is like a kind of poison, which immediately penetrates into every cell of each person and takes effect inside.That feeling is neither panic nor bewilderment, but trembling in the face of an irresistible great power.Are you about to deal with that great power?It's unbelievable to think about it, and it's helpless.Some people bought pickled fish and pickled vegetables a few days ago, and when necessary, they shut themselves up like pupae in their cocoon-like homes. Now they thought to themselves, probably it's time to lock themselves up.

When the next day dawned, a layer of milk-colored clouds hovered over the village and town, and a chilly wind blew under the clouds. People who felt, "Here we come!" were sleepless in the middle of the night, and fell into a deep sleep at this time.Suddenly a tsunami-like shout surged up, "People of all families, get up! The revolutionary forces have arrived! Get up and hold a public meeting! The public meeting! The meeting place is in the empty field in front of Gao Gao's gate! People of all families, get up! Get up! !" Sleeping people at first thought it was the noise of crows coming out of the forest, but gradually they woke up and recognized the sound of "Arise!" He looked straight, like running naked into the wind and snow on a cold day, with all his muscles and bones being pulled together.Those who have bought salted fish and pickles, of course, wrap their quilts tightly around their heads, which can be regarded as adding an inner shell of self-defense.Although the other people were shy, they also wanted to see the "unseen wonder", so they hurriedly dressed and got up.

When they opened the door, everyone was stunned, thinking to themselves, "Ah! Here, Tiger Jiang!" This stunned was not really stunned, but mixed with joy and disappointment.Fortunately, I was prepared to be restrained, but I knew that there was not much restraint in reality. I was disappointed because I watched a good show with enthusiasm, but saw an old man who was sweeping the edge. There was a pause.Why is Tiger Jiang in there?Seeing him sticking out his chest and bulging belly, one hand clinging to the Sidke, waving this way and pointing there, he has a majestic aura, he is still the brain of the gang!Look at this group of people again, those who wear long clothes look like students, and those who wear short clothes look like workers or "white-faced people". They must be from this town; they walked by in such a chaotic way, opening their mouths like mandarin fishes, shouting loudly, and their triumphant faces showed a ferocious look, very like a procession of a group of half-mads.what!And the police.Aren't these the ones who usually transfer shifts and communicate with each other? - isn't it?Isn't this group of so-called "coming!"However, they are clearly shouting there, telling people that they are exactly what they mean by "coming!"

Even though the spectators thought so, none of them put it on their lips to comment; in order to see what happened, they followed up gradually, making the procession more powerful; It came even if it wasn't buckled.Affected by the shouting, this group of followers involuntarily shouted, wordlessly, one example being "Ah!...Ah!...Ah!" On the walls along the way, ordinary people saw the long-known "slogan" for the first time. It turned out to be red, green, yellow and white paper strips with decent or unbearable words written on it.The sentences are those familiar from the newspapers, but they don't feel awkward.But there are a few in the middle, which are specially made for this town, which are "Down with Jiang Bingru who controls everything!"

Some people think: "The local tyrants and evil gentry are people like Jiang Bingru. He thinks he has been to the East, and he always has a half-knowledge when he sees other people's houses, and he is not as good as him; the local evils are probably in such places. He came out to be a village director. The previous township director was no different, he didn't use his omniscience to find him, he was unwilling to offend one side or hurt the other side when something happened to him, this gentle attitude must be another An inferior qualification." Others think this way: "Write a play, write a novel, in which students, young, clean, ugly, loyal ministers, righteous men, villains, fools, bearded and beautiful. Probably the revolution is similar. The local tyrants and evil gentry are the same. An indispensable role in the revolution. Jiang Bingru was selected to play this role when it was the town's turn."

Who is right in the end, of course, no one has answered.When the procession came to the empty field in front of Gao Gaomen, there were a total of seven or eight hundred people, and the loud noise scared the sparrows flying around among the elm and beech leaves into the air.There were a dozen or so policemen on the field first, and four or five people wearing talismans, one of them was Lu Sanfu; he put on the tunic suit he wore on the first day, and looked around boastfully, like a child wearing new clothes after a wedding. clothes.In the center of the arena, several wooden crates of Mobil kerosene were piled up, which served as a podium.On the left side of the stage, a flag was erected in the hearts of the public, but it was the first time that it caught the public's eyes. A gust of wind blew by, and the dancing dazzling red gave the public an indescribably strong impression.

At first it was the tall man who stepped onto the wooden box and announced that "our power" is here from today onwards.Why come?So what?He took on the well-established theories that kept gushing in his throat all the time.From theory to practice, the concluding sentence said: "We will completely transform this town and make it a brand new revolutionary town!" "Renovate this town!" Jiang Huaqing shouted as he raised his hat.He saw that the crowd seemed to have forgotten, and there was no response, so he reminded with a higher voice: "Hey! Slogan!" "Reform this town completely!" The man with the amulet among the crowd yelled out the catchphrase.

"Ah!...Ah!...Ah!" some of the others echoed hypnotically, embellishing the public meeting with unprecedented grandeur. "I have a proposal!" The public saw that the person who climbed up the wooden box and opened his mouth was a young man with a flat nose. Although they knew that he was from the town, they didn't know his last name, so the noise suddenly fell silent.He is the young man who professes to be fond of art, but recently despises art.With his arms bent forward and his fists standing four or five inches from his temples, he said hastily: "To completely reform this town, we must eliminate all corrupt forces and defeat a group of local tyrants and evil gentry! The center of this town's corrupt forces, local tyrants, I don’t need to say which one is the leader of the evil gentry, you all know that it is Jiang Bingru! He controls everything, monopolizes everything, and more or less oppressed people in this town suffer from him! So I said in the mass meeting Proposal, we are the first to knock him down! From today on, don’t let him interfere in the slightest thing in the town! In the past, all his crimes were carefully investigated by the party headquarters, and then he was settled with him!”

"Down with Jiang Bingru! Agree! Agree! Down with Jiang Bingru!" The response came faster and louder than before. "Ah!...Ah!...Ah!" The proposal was passed.According to the opinion of a group of young people, there were also programs such as dragging Jiang Bingru to the public meeting, announcing him as a local tyrant and evil gentry, closing his shop, confiscating his property, and so on. It doesn't look good without these.Due to Jiang Hu's claim, these programs were omitted.He said that the purpose of defeating Jiang Bingru was to remove all possibility of his actions from the minds of the people in the town; what's more, it was called "killing chickens for the monkeys to see", so that people with the same smell as Jiang Bingru would be a little bit more interesting. Dare to stand in the way of revolution.To achieve these two goals, it is enough to announce it at a public meeting, not to mention slogans.If it is too much, it is inevitable that it is "too much", it seems unnecessary.Over the past few days, Jiang Huo has gathered from time to time, and Jiang Huo has gained unconditional faith from the young people, so this idea, which should be scolded as "warmth", has also been agreed by all.

Jiang Huhu stood under the fluttering flag on the left side of the wooden box. Several people in the town were flashing through his mind at this moment, and he scolded them contemptuously one by one, "This is far worse than Jiang Bingru!" Looking at the pale faces of the crowd in the faint morning sun, the joy of success poured into his heart like a mouthful of sweet syrup, and he thought: "You all belong to me!" Liu Weiting was also awakened by the shouts on the street.After waking up, I wanted to ignore it and fall asleep repeatedly; but this heart could no longer settle down, as if a child heard drums and gongs outside the door, performing a monkey show.Make an exception, get up early, go out and have a look, when he thinks so, he gets up. At first, it was nothing more than unusual curiosity and astonishment. When he saw some special ones in the middle of the colorful slogans, he thought that something was wrong, and it was not appropriate to watch in front of his own gate, so he went back in and closed the gate, and went out through the back door to take a small path. , ran to Bingru's house in one breath. Bing Ru's house is not close to the city street, so he didn't know that there was already a violent wave in the town; Bing Ru urged Wei Ting to get up. "Let's go!" Wei Ting was annoyed, many words condensed into one sentence, and spit out. "What?" Bingru didn't understand at all. "Local tyrants and evil gentry! They say you are! Slogans are plastered all over the street! Now the public meeting is going to be held! Maybe they will call you soon!" Wei Ting said tightly. "Local tyrant and evil gentry! Me?" Bingruxiang suddenly fell into the icy river, his limbs were floating, and he completely lost his strength; his mind was also a little dizzy, and his thoughts were like flying smoke in circles, unable to condense into a fixed form. . "Yes, they say you are! Tiger Jiang is also in there, it seems he is still brains! You go, go to any random country to hide for a while. It's not worth taking advantage of the immediate loss!" "Where! Nothing! How can he be a brain, he is not even worthy of participating in it!" Bingru burst into anger. He complained more for the revolution than for himself. "But he's obviously inside, commanding a group of people with a sniper! Several of them are our former students, and Jiang Hua, the son of Jiang Huhu, is also inside!" "He will start a revolution, of course I am a local tyrant and evil gentry!" Bingru was indescribably sad and indignant, he had already seen the shadow of the future of the revolution. "But I will never leave! I always wait at home, waiting for him to raid my house, catch me and parade me in a tall hat, and even shoot me!" Wei Ting went away on behalf of Bingru with deep sorrow.Later, he met people who were going to watch the public meeting, and when he heard the words of reckoning, he quietly rushed to Bingru's house again from the small road. "Really go!" he relayed what he had heard. "We need to settle the score!" Bingru seemed to run out immediately, "I will settle the score with them now!" Wei Ting was very dissatisfied with Bingru's ignorance; but he held him back and insisted, "They are just like the fire that just started, why do you bother, why do you bother throwing yourself into it?" "Ai!" A feeling of grievance spread all over the body along the blood, and Bingru suddenly missed Ni Huanzhi, "How can I meet him right away, and talk about my feelings that I don't know what it feels like at this time!"
