Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three

Jiahe was woken up from the dream.He heard his window couch being knocked bouncingly, and someone told him to open the door quickly, and he recognized that it was Jiaqiao. The words Jiaqiao told him were like the words of a thief.He also acted like a thief when he told him these words.He almost gritted his teeth to push out those conspiracies beside Jiahe, his teeth rattling: "I told you the truth, I told you this for the sake of my sister-in-law. I held my head in my hand. I hate you guys. My godfather said that I don’t need to report my personal grudges. I’m here. See you tomorrow, you’re me, I’m sorry for you.” He stood up and was about to leave, but was dragged by Jiahe: “You Daddy vomited blood, you almost killed him, you know?"

Jiaqiao was taken aback, and said, "I saved him, who told you to take him to such a place?" "Who told you to shoot and dance with sticks? You beat Jiacao's head. Tuo Zuobo was killed by your men. Are you still a human being?" Jia Qiao paused: "Are you still a person? They forced my mother to death and drove me away, but you still protect them, and you are still my brother! Don't you just want to dominate the family property, not even a brother?" , you still ask me if I am a human being? If I am not a human being, what am I doing here?" Jiahe was stunned: "What are you talking about, who forced mother to death? It was your godfather, do you know? Jiaqiao, if you are willing to come back and be the son of our Hang family, I will give you all the property, and I will let you You are the boss!"

Jiaqiao was also stunned, he didn't expect the eldest brother to say that, he was stunned, and he felt sad, and said: "What's the use of being the boss? Mom is gone, and my life won't come back!" Saying so, it disappeared in a flash. On such a huge and heavy night, Hang Jiahe had no choice but shame to talk about his own personal incident.Everything becomes insignificant in such an era of exaggerated night.Jiahe remembered to pass on Jiaqiao's words to his elder brother.Jiaping jumped up and said, "Come on, tell Jiacao quickly, everyone will inform separately, and hide for a while."

"Are you leaving too?" Jiahe was a little dazed, "You are not the opposite of anyone, you stand in the middle, it doesn't matter if you don't leave. Just don't wear this military uniform." He suddenly got a little excited, and grabbed his elder brother by the shoulder "It's just right, just right, you can just take the opportunity to take off your military uniform and come back to the tea house—" For the first time, Jiaping let his elder brother see his somewhat helpless smile: "Brother, you know this is impossible. I have a gun in my hand, and I will either hit Jiaqiao or Lin Sheng. I want to die with a single shot." Jiaqiao, but he was the one who tipped off the news, and he made it impossible for me to take action. Since I don't want to fight anyone now, I have no choice but to go far away."

Ye Zi went back to the house and saw Jiaping looking like he was going to leave, put his hand on his chest, opened his eyes, and asked Jiahe instead of Jiaping: "Going again?" "Leave immediately." After thinking about it for a while, he asked Ye Zi to fetch the rabbit hair lamp, stuffed it into the bag he carried, and said with a smile: "It seems that I have to wear this amulet again this time. It used to be half a piece, but now it's half a piece." Big brother has made me perfect, and I am complete again. Well, wherever I go, I will never forget you."

Ye Zi panicked and plunged into Jiaping's arms, and said a series of Japanese, Jiaping also answered her in Japanese, and then Ye Zi rushed back to the house and took Hang Han out, forcing him to stuff him into his arms.Jiaping felt a little embarrassed, looked at his elder brother, and said, "It's not that serious, it's not that serious, I'll be back." Jiahe turned his head away, he couldn't bear this kind of gaze, and he didn't know what would happen tomorrow. Hang Han fell into a drowsy sleep. He didn't know anything about life and death in the world. He muttered a few words and fell asleep again.

In front of Jiahe, Jiaping pulled Ye Zi to his chest and said, "Brother, Ye Zi and Han'er, I leave it to you." Jiahe's heart beat wildly, and to cover up, he said, "Don't talk about that, family." When the two brothers sneaked into the small courtyard where Jiacao lived, it was the younger sister Jicao who opened the door. "Where's your sister?" "She's asleep." The two brothers knocked on the door. When the door opened, the bed was clean and there was no one there. "Tell me, where did your sister go?" Ji Cao saw that the faces of the elder brother and the second brother had changed, and he was so frightened that he wanted to cry, and said: "Don't scold me, sister is married."

The two elder brothers scolded her: "What are you kidding? Tell the truth." "We're really married, to brother Lin Sheng, the three of us, we're going to use tea as a wedding wine." Ji Cao said solemnly. "It's crazy! It's crazy!" Jiahe spun around anxiously. "Not crazy!" Ji Cao said, "Brother Lin Sheng said that he was going to die, and it would be too late if he didn't get married. Sister Jia Cao also said that they might all die. Jia Qiao beat her that day and almost I didn't beat her to death." When Ji Cao said that, she was so frightened that she began to cry, "Don't tell Mom, Big Brother and Second Brother, my sister won't let me tell. She said Mom would be very sad..."

It was only then that the two brothers remembered that during this time, both Jia Cao and Lin Sheng were indeed a little abnormal. Jiahe personally sent Jiaping to the entrance of the gate. Jiaping had something on his mind and turned to leave. Suddenly Jiahe grabbed his right hand. A dream, with blood-…" Jiaping held his hand vigorously and said, "Blood is not a dream, it is reality. Brother, you are really a dreamer, you should wake up!" He wanted to leave, but found that Jiahe still didn't let go, understood, and said, "Don't worry, I haven't had this year's new tea yet."

With all his strength, he broke free from the elder brother's hand and disappeared into the vast night. The next day, on April 11, 1927, Hang Jiaqiao rushed into the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions with the military and police. At the gate, he ran into Lin Sheng and Jia Cao who were entering the trade union door hand in hand.When Hang Jiaqiao saw that man was with his twin sister, his original magnanimity disappeared, and he suddenly had a vicious heart: "Wow, my enemy dares to seduce my sister, pointing at Lin Sheng and yelling: " He is the Communist Party!" When the military police went up, they wanted to tie Jiacao away, but Jiaqiao stopped her, slapped her and pushed her far away, saying: "She is not, she is a bitch who got off the Mengbai boat on the Gongding Bridge, I know her." ."

Lin Sheng didn't resist either, he seemed to have been waiting for this day, and said to Jiacao, "You go. It has nothing to do with you, just do what you should do!" Jia Cao didn't leave, leaning against the wall, she was dumbfounded, ten minutes ago, they were still kissing and hugging in the yard, and Lin Sheng's hand was still moving on her chest, why were they handcuffed in such a short time?While thinking this way, Lin Sheng had already been taken into the prison van, roaring, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Many years later, Jicao thought, her sister Jiacao went crazy at that time.She is such a weak woman, but her emotions are so deeply grasped, she is really a woman like You Lan, a woman who is only suitable to be born in an empty valley.The mountain hunter who brought her home was suddenly swallowed up by tigers and wolves. How could you tell her to survive.She leaned on the head of the bed in a daze, holding the little hand that sent the grass, and said slightly after a while: "Your hands are really nice... "After a while, the eyes straightened, and the voice hurried: "I'm going to die!dying!dying! " Xiao Jicao knew that sister Jiacao was talking about Brother Xiaolin's death.Because of her elder sister and Lin Sheng, this little girl is really in a mess of worries.She was scurrying around in this five-in-one big courtyard, and had to find a way.The eldest brother and the second brother disappeared, and so did the elder sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law was holding her son crying in the house, and the father vomited blood in the meditation room.As soon as Grandpa died, Dad began to vomit blood.After much deliberation, she decided to go to her mother, but her mother was holding sister Jiacao and crying.Sister Jiacao didn't seem to hear, she just grabbed her mother's shoulders, gritted her teeth and called softly. "I'm going to die... I'm going to die..." While hugging Jiacao, mother said to her little daughter who was out of the world: "What should we do, Jicao, what do you think we should do? The tea shop is closed, the tea cannot be sold, and there is no money. Brother Xiaolin redeemed it?" After thinking about it, Ji Cao thought of his godfather.She thought that her godfather was riding a white horse, majestic and majestic, anyone would dare to scold him, and godfather would find a way to rescue brother Xiaolin.She is going to find her godfather, and she will go alone.She ran out of the gate and saw Zhao Jike at the gate.Godfather, leaning on a cane, hurried over.She asked in surprise: "Godfather, where is your white horse?" "It's sold." Godfather said, "I want to use this money to exchange your brother Xiao Lin's life." When Shen Lv'ai heard that Zhao Jike had sold the white horse, she hurriedly said: "You are really impatient, I asked Jiahe to find his uncle, and let the Green Village do some activities, and Xiao Lin will definitely be able to release it. Can they not sell the Green Village?" face?" Zhao Jike wanted to refute Shen Lv'ai with words, but seeing Jia Cao's dazed look, he kept quiet.Hearing someone coughing lightly at the door, knowing that it was Jiahe who came back, he quickly followed Jiahe into Huamu Shenfang. Hang Tianzui sat on the futon with his eyes tightly closed, as if he had a premonition of bad news and couldn't bear to listen to it, but couldn't avoid it.Seeing his father's appearance, Jiahe opened his mouth, then closed it. "Tell me, how is your uncle?" "He said, don't say that Lin Sheng is not our son-in-law, even if he is our son-in-law, he doesn't care. Besides, Jiacao was not born to Lu Ai's mother." "He said that?" Lu Ai couldn't believe her ears. "Do you think he can't talk?" Zhao Jike said, "It's a mistake for you to go to him!" "This bastard!" Lu Ai scolded. Hang Tianzui looked at Lu Ai and thought to himself, why are they also born from the same father? "He also asked me to send a message to Jiaping, telling him to come back and re-register as soon as possible. If he doesn't come back, he won't be able to keep Jiaping if he wants to." After hearing this, everyone fell silent.Ji Cao ran over weeping and said, "Sister Jiacao is banging her head against the wall, she said she is going to die with brother Xiao Lin!" Then Lu Ai hurriedly ran to Jiacao's house again, saying, "Hurry up and think of another way, money can make ghosts turn the clock, and pool the money to help the way, don't mention the word Shen Lvcun again, it's like My big brother is dead." Hang Jiahe turned his head to look at his father again, he knew that there was only one way to get the money, but he couldn't say this way.Although he is the owner of Wangyou Tea House, he dare not be the owner of this matter.Thinking of this, he saw his father stand up and said, "Come with me to the tea house." Jiahe's eyes became hot all of a sudden, and his father looked like a vague shadow—he knew that his father was going to sell the teahouse. The two enemies, who have been loving and resenting for a lifetime, are both old now, one is dying, and the other is frosty.Sitting on the balcony upstairs, facing the West Lake, they all looked at the crooked stairs at the same time.Alas, that old and dirty little fire, but it can't turn around again.It's true that people are wrong, but West Lake is still so recklessly beautiful.This is simply a painful, infuriating beauty.You know, some people are going to die, some people are going crazy, West Lake, how can your water be so gentle, how can your willows be so elegant? Moreover, the two cups of Longjing tea you brought up, why are you still so fragrant? Hang Tianzui looked up and saw "Qinquan Tu".As always, it retains the poems that have been handed down from the Ming Dynasty to today: I laugh at myself without strings, and store the spring before tea;But how can it remain silent? He pointed his finger at the wall, and Jiahe took down the "Qinquan Tu" without a word. "Are you really going to sell the tea house?" Wu Sheng chased after him again, he couldn't believe the sudden news like a dream. Hang Tianzui nodded. "I'll pay double the money!" Wu Sheng rushed to his chest with pride mixed with pity. Hang Tianzui's eyes lit up, staring at Wu Sheng, Wu Sheng's palms were sweating: Does he dare to agree?If Hang Tianzui agrees, then he is really doomed!His soul has been trampled under my feet, Xiaocha, Xiaocha, if you want to live, if you want to live, look at me proudly... However, Hang Tianzui withdrew his eyes and let go downstairs again. He saw with his own eyes his third son and his little enemy Hang Jiaqiao taking off the pair of couplets—who says tea is bitter but sweet? Ru Yang; He looked at it, smiled slightly, and nodded slightly.And Wu Sheng, at the moment his opponent nodded, tears welled up in his eyes. In the end, Lin Sheng was regarded as an important criminal in the armed riots of the Communist Party, and was publicly executed together with his comrades in Pinewood Field.The way he was executed was considered civilized in the first place, just by shooting.However, every time the executioner raised the gun to aim at him, Jiacao would break free from his mother Lu Ai's hand and rush forward, hugging Lin Sheng, who was tied up, every time the criminal police had to put down the gun to drag her down again, repeating this After a few times, the captain of the criminal police became very impatient and thought it might as well just shoot them all together.Someone next to him muttered beside him, saying that this woman is the niece of Commissioner Shen, and the captain of the criminal police complained, saying, no wonder this woman is so bold and fearless, drag it on!Then dragged it down two more times.How could Lv Ai hold on to the disheveled Jiacao who seemed to be going crazy?She originally wanted to collect the body alone.Jiahe went out to inquire about Jiaping's news, Hang Tian was drunk and vomited blood badly, Zhao Jike was put under house arrest because he wrote a letter scolding the Kuomintang, and it turned out that the only woman from the Hang family, Lu Ai, came forward. The fatal catastrophe turned Jiacao into another woman completely. The obsession in the blood of the Hang family appeared on the distraught Jiacao, making her completely hysterical.She was going to the execution ground, and Lu Ai had to lock her in the room. Unexpectedly, she jumped out of the window, rushed to the execution ground, and rushed to the execution ground several times, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "I don't want to live anymore, I will die!" I don't want to live anymore, I'll die with him! Shoot! Shoot, shoot!" She opened her chest and beat her chest hard with her fists. Lin Sheng was hugged by Jiacao again and again. When I woke up, I also shouted: "Mom, Mom, you quickly pull her away, quickly pull her away..." Next to them was a group of executioners carrying ghost knives. It turned out that the blades were gleaming white, with red strands hanging down, and they sucked the dang all the way.It has been sixteen years since the Republic of China, and the killing has also improved. If Zuoxing was not beheaded, Zuoxing was shot.However, the executioners couldn't be shot again and again, and the executioners became impatient. One of them went up, and before Jiacao rushed up again, he kicked Lin Sheng down.That Lin Sheng was about to turn his head, blood flew under the knife, a head had already rolled down to the ground, a cavity of blood rushed straight to the sky, he threw his body forward and fell to the ground.The eyes on the rolling head were still open, and the mouth bit the loess underground. This scene was horrific, but luckily Lu Ai didn't see it at all, because when she raised her head, Jia Cao had turned over and fell over.The crowd buzzed: "Decapitate! Decapitate!" Jiacao gritted her teeth and fell unconscious. After being poured with water, Jiacao regained consciousness and walked almost as well.As soon as Jiacao woke up, her eyes were wide open: "Head! Head! Head!" She screamed, knelt on the ground, groped and hugged the uncooled head with loess in its mouth. Touching it, one hand was digging mud out of Lin Sheng's mouth, and he even took out a handkerchief to wipe it.His body was smeared with blood, and he suddenly understood and asked, "Lin Sheng, where is your body, Lin Sheng?" Then he turned around and saw the body that was still bound, and immediately hugged his head and coaxed him, saying: "Don't worry, don't worry. Hurry up, I'll give birth to you right away." With one hand, he pulled Lin Sheng's colorful rope. Lv Ai thought Jiacao was crazy, but she was also crazy.She rushed over to help Jiacao untie the rope on Lin Sheng's body, and straightened her hands and feet.Jiacao tried desperately to connect Lin Sheng's head, and said comfortingly, "Wait a minute, wait a moment, it will be fine soon, it will be fine soon..." But the head was broken, and the neck was broken. I can't spell it.Lu Ai sees if this head is not born, Jiacao will not leave again.Heart, liver, stomach and intestines were burning like they were about to melt, and he patted his body randomly, but a ball of needle and thread was patted.Quickly took it out, and sewed the body and head together with a needle and thread. Na Jiacao hugged Lin Sheng's body in his arms, like coaxing a child, and just said: "Be good, it will be fine, it will be fine, it will be fine soon..." The head and body were barely connected together, and Lu Ai wrapped Jiacao's handkerchief around the scar and tied it firmly, Lin Sheng seemed to be asleep again. After returning from the execution ground, Jiacao was completely stupid. She always pretended to be a lover in her arms, and only said one sentence: "Be good, be good, it will be fine, it will be fine, it will be fine soon..." When Lu Ai returned home, she immediately developed a high fever and fell into a coma for several days.There are only leaves in the house. Hang Tianzui coughed up blood even worse, but he seemed to have a sense of peace in despair. He would go to see Jiacao lying on the bed every day, stand far away, and say, "Good daughter, I You have a lung disease, so I’ll just come here to see you, and you’ll feel better if your heart aches, I can’t come any closer. You can’t die anymore. Good daughter, too many people in our family have died..." While saying this, Zhao Jike said to Tianzui: "Tianzui, the daughter you raised is really bloody, crying in the execution ground, and broke two ribs by herself." Lu Ai was barely able to get up. Hearing Zhao Jike's words, she shed tears and said, "Lin Sheng is still in the Siming Hall. It's safe to put it in the ground. If it doesn't, Jiacao will not get well." Tian Zui listened, shaking his head, tears streaming down his face. "Don't cry, I can't bear such tears." Zhao Jike said again, "Finally, there is one more thing to worry about, Jiacao is pregnant." Tian Zui's eyes lit up. Tianzui said, "They haven't been buried yet, but if they are buried next to Uncle Chaqing, they will be considered our family." The climate is still warm and pleasant, and the tea buds are particularly luxuriant. On the mountain road to the Hang family's ancestral grave in Jilong Mountain, another funeral procession came.They walked up and down in the half-person-high tea garden, as if to show the eternal law of birth, old age, sickness and death in nature, because this law is so fair to everyone, death and funerals appear tender.No outsider would have thought that the old family member of the Hang family named Cuo Zhuo, a poor camellia farmer lying in the coffin, was shot to death in the chest.It was as if an accidental death, which even the person who died could not accept.Before dying, he thought of that last sentence as if it was accidental.He said: "Young master, in the future-... who will listen to you... what is in your heart?" It seemed that after saying this sentence, he really realized that he was going to die.His dying bull's eyes, gentle and kind, were covered with tears, big and big drops flowed from the corners of his eyes to the roots of his ears, Tianzui saw a kite in his eyes - that was the sky that only the two of them had , in an unattainable place far, far away. Now, it was Hang Tianzui who was escorting and taking photos on the road.In the past, Ke always accompanied Tian Zui on the road.Hang Tianzui couldn't remember how many times they went to Jilong Mountain together like this.He even had an illusion from time to time, as if lying in the coffin was another person who had nothing to do with him, and the old camera was following him silently, and he could see him from the corner of his eyes. .He thought about how much he should be forgiven for worrying about the giant car... Hang Tianzui suddenly stopped in panic.He was so stimulated by the pain that his hair stood on end—yes, he was really dead.He looked at the mourners, there were quite a few of them, and wept mournfully.But Hang Tianzui felt that he was alone in the world.All other people are people who have nothing to do with them.Only he and the honest man who will be buried under the new grave at this moment, the Wengjiashan man who tacitly kept the secret with him, are his own people. Hang Tianzui also felt sorry for Lin Sheng's death.But compared to his feeling of selling all the tea houses in exchange for Lin Sheng's life, his grief at this moment is not extreme.He didn't know this handsome young man very well. He heard that he was a member of the party, but Hang Tianzui had long since ceased to care about the party.The difference between him and the guest is that he has never been enthusiastic about politics.He always felt that they were external things, and no amount of changes could solve the pain in his soul.But at this moment, when he looked at the demented Jia Cao stroking the coffin, he thought, maybe I was wrong, why did my daughter become like this?Who made her like this?Could it be that he was killed by a bullet fired from outside?Why do I have to linger on and live?Why don't people come to see me off - just like I do now? When Lin Sheng was buried, Jia Cao didn't shed any tears, and kept saying the same thing over and over again: "Good boy, good boy, it will be fine soon, it will be fine..." Seeing that the coffin fell to the ground, she lost her temper and said, "Why did you dig such a small place? Where do you tell me to lie down? Dig again!" Everyone didn't know what to do, so Jiacao jumped into the grave again, lay down close to the coffin, and said, "Lin Sheng, you sleep inside, and I sleep outside. I'll be with you." She was staggering and lost in thought. Jiahe felt distressed at seeing her, and couldn't stand up any longer. He jumped down and hugged her sister out. Come up first, you come up first." But Jicao is still smart, and suddenly held up a tea god statue in his hand, and said, "Sister, you are going to give birth to brother Lin Sheng's baby, I will let the tea god accompany him first, the tea god knows brother Lin Sheng's family." With that said, Jiahe put the God of Tea on the coffin lid. That's all for Jia Cao, and when her elder brother took her out of the grave, she didn't understand anything, only when it came to giving birth to Brother Lin Sheng's baby, she felt a little more refreshed. Now, more and more people are buried in the Hang family's family grave.The tea canopy in front of the grave grew extraordinarily lush because of the care of the grave relatives.The graves of Cuozhuo and Linsheng are near the grave of Uncle Chaqing.Tianzui dug two tea seedlings in front of their graves and planted them, then pointed to the place next to Uncle Chaqing and said: Don't occupy this place, keep it for me. The people were surprised in their hearts. Then they heard another sentence that surprised them even more: "Let me lie on the ground alone. It is enough for me to be with them." " end That winter, Jiacao's stomach became heavier day by day, but her father Hang Tianzui's body became thin like a thin piece of paper. He began to look more and more like a ghost, and his strange and silent actions became more and more allegorical.He perfectly imitated Cha Qing and grew a goatee.When he quietly stood behind the people, the backs of people's heads also began to feel cool for a while. Even the relationship between him and Zhao Jike, his chief friend, has changed unknowingly.In the dark, it seems that it is not the capable Zhao Jike, but the weak Hang Tianzui who controls their friendship. In the middle of winter that year, it snowed heavily in Hangzhou.There is confusion on the West Lake.The sky seemed to be pulling a huge snowflake cloth, and as soon as it touched the lake water, it got in and disappeared without a trace.The snow in the south is gentle after all. Hang Tianzui asked Zhao Jike to accompany him for a swim on the lake, Lu Ai exclaimed, "You're crazy, it's so cold..." She looked at Zhao Jike's expression again, and then fell silent. Hang Tianzui said with great interest: "My ship is dilapidated, but it still survives, just like me. Although it is dying, it still has spirit. I don't know if the one-armed guest can still survive." I can stand up to the white stripes in the waves." Zhao Zhike smiled and said, "Do you dare to give it a try?" That afternoon, two boats, one big and one small, disappeared on the lake where the snow was getting bigger and bigger. Zhao Zhike said very little, and one arm was different from two arms after all.Like the black-covered boats rowed by Shaoxing people, he uses his two feet to pedal, and his hands are only used to steer the rudder. Because there is a boss on board, Hang Tianzui pretended to sit by the window of the cabin, talking to Zhao Jike.Old wine was hot in his cabin, so he handed it out through the window to Zhao Zhike.Zhao Jike drank it all in one gulp, his face turned red, and his breath was like mist. However, Hang Tianzui memorized Zhang Zongzi's article: "...Three days of heavy snowfall, the sound of people and birds in the lake was absolutely silent. The day was fixed, and Yu led a small boat, with a fire in his clothes, and went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake alone. Snow. Fog emblem kicks, sky and clouds, mountains, and water, white up and down, shadows on the lake, only a trace of the long embankment, a small pavilion in the center of the lake, together with Yu Zhou, two or three grains of people in the boat.  … " Zhao Jike said: "Tianzui, such elegance has been gone for a long time..." Hang Tianzui laughed loudly and said, "Post-guest, post-guest, you have taught me a lesson all your life, but you haven't figured out what you want to teach? Look at the shadow on the lake, there is only a trace of the long embankment, a little pavilion in the middle of the lake, and Yu Zhou has a mustard, and the people in the boat have two or three grains, what is so elegant-…" "What advice do you have? All ears." "Isn't it really clean to end up in a vast expanse of whiteness?" Zhao Jike heard this, stopped scratching his oars, and said, "Tianzui, you see such a big world, just you and me, what you want to say, just say it." Hang Tian was stunned drunk, and after a long while, he sighed: "I'm fascinated and can't get it..." Two boats, one large and one small, stopped in the middle of the lake, and Zhao Jike saw Hang Tianzui's eyes.He sighed, and began to unbutton his clothes without haste.He was stripped naked with only a pair of shorts left, and his broken left arm was exposed ugly in the heavy snow. "What are you going to do?" Hang Tianzui asked.He thought of that summer.How far away, the Leifeng Pagoda hadn't fallen yet. "I don't know if the guest has been learning to swim in winter since he was a child? Bring the wine!" Zhao Jike gulped down a large bowl of wine, wiped himself with a single arm, stood in the heavy snow, made a loud rushing sound, and then jumped into the West Lake with a plop. At the same time, old Wu Sheng, with mixed feelings, brought his adopted son back to the Wangyou Tea House.The teahouse has been closed for many days due to a change of owner, and the tables and chairs are covered with thick dust.The Qixing Stove was icy cold. Old Wu Sheng lifted the copper teapot with his hand, and a drop of tear fell into the black stove mouth. With his tears, he saw the blue flame and the white vapor.He heard the voices of people shouting, greetings, strings, singing and music... He saw people coming and going, occupying seats, drinking tea and listening to operas.All of these, when they could finally belong to him, they no longer belonged to him... There are white and gray spots on the wall, which are the traces left after the Hang family took the painting away.Wu Sheng thought with relief while being sad, it doesn't matter, just buy it later.He opened the window, and the West Lake in winter, like a piece of blue ice, appeared before his eyes.Wild ducks are hovering in the center of the lake. On the opposite side of the lake is the continuous and gentle Beishan Mountain, which looks desolate and silent under the shadow of winter.And on top of all of this, there is a lot of snow in the sky.That's really exciting!Wu Sheng said to Jiaqiao: "Aqiao, don't do it for the Kuomintang!" "Why?" Jia Qiao was surprised.He recently moved the idea of ​​applying for the Whampoa Military Academy, and was about to discuss it with his godfather. "The Kuomintang is immoral," Wu Sheng said, "it will be bad luck in the future." He turned around to look at A Qiao, and said confidently: "A Qiao, I have figured out a way out for you. Go to Shanghai Ocean Bank and work as a comprador for Taipan. Take our tea business to foreign countries..." At the same time, at the estuary of the Huangpu River, a siren sounded, and the sorrow was about to break. The two brothers Jiahe and Jiaping were about to shake hands and bid farewell.Why is their youth always in a kind of farewell party? Among Jiaping's gazes, one reveals firmness and the other reveals confusion. This belongs to the confusion of youth, and also belongs to the unique expression of the Hang family, which makes Jiahe discover for the first time that he and Jiaping are identical in character.In the past, he never thought that Jiaping would share his pain. "Brother, you have to make it clear to Ye Zi that I have to choose this way to leave this time. As long as I don't go back, I am a free person. Once I go back, I will be stuck in the mud." "You don't need to say this, I understand." Jiahe patted him on the shoulder, "It's just how should you go in the future?" "Stay far away first, and give me some more time. I want to take another look. Over the years, I have acted too much and thought too little. Brother, is this how you think of me?" Jiahe was stunned for a moment, his eye sockets flushed, and in order to conceal the shock in his heart, he deliberately said lightly: "After all, he is the one who begs his wife, and the weight of his words is different." "Brother, have you been thinking of me in this way for so many years?" Jiaping insisted on this topic and asked unrelentingly. Jiahe brushed off the top hat in his hands, and smiled very lightly: "In other words, I am the opposite of you. People are born to act, but I always think..." The sound of the siren aroused the sorrow of the traveler, and it was another sea ship sailing to the other side of the ocean.Jiaping turned around to leave, and suddenly said embarrassedly: "Yezi and Han'er will be handed over to you, no matter what the situation is, please..." Jiaping was choked by the sudden emotion, and he rushed into a huge Unspeakable guilt, how many times has he asked his elder brother?He couldn't tell. "Sorry……" Jiahe was surprised by his brother's sudden apology, he wanted to change the subject with his usual ease: "My brother, why are you talking about this?" "I mean...I mean Fang Youleng. I shouldn't push you what I don't want..." Not long ago, Fang Xi'an sent a message asking Jiahe to visit Fang's house, and Jiahe went.Seeing him, Fang Xileng said, "Why don't you bring me Hang Yi, I miss him." Jiahe asked his head and sat for a while, then said, "Isn't it easy for a mother to miss her son? Just go and see him." Fang Xilen had no choice but to remain silent.As soon as she saw Jiahe, she realized that he was old, changed, and cold. "Is there no news from Jiaping yet?" Jiahe shook his head.Fang Xi'an knew that even if there was, her husband would not tell her. "How's the business in the store, okay?" "still alright." The two of them had been so cold for half a day, Fang Xileng knew that she had to speak first today. "Jiahe, you have to understand in your heart, it's not that I refuse to come back, it's that my father locked me up." "I understand." "My father talked to me again yesterday. What he meant...was to ask me not to go back to Wangyoulou mansion." "Smell." Jiahe responded mechanically, but it can be said that there was no reaction at all. "What do you think..." Fang Xilen tested him. "This is your business." "I still want to come back. I have already had a pair of children with you. I have been married to the Hang family for seven years. I—" "You better not come back." Jiahe suddenly stood up and said. "You—" Fang Xileng was angry and startled, she didn't expect Jiahe to have the courage to say such a thing, she always thought that as long as she let go of her self-esteem, she still has the ability to manipulate Jiahe. "How can you say such unfeeling words? Don't forget that I called Jiaqiao to inform you that night. Do you know how much risk I took?" "That's two different things." Jiahe looked out the window and said, "I've wanted to tell you a long time ago, the two of us have no love at all, so we can't talk about no love!" Fang Xilen cried and said: "Jiahe, I really love you. I never thought that you are such a cruel person. My father won't let me stay in Hang's house anymore, but I still want you to take me back , I will never run out alone again..." Jiahe was very sad, and his heart was about to soften several times, but he knew Sireng too well. He knew that a woman like Sireng, if there were men who could conquer her in this world, her heart would never be appeased.It's just that her judgment was wrong, she thought that among the two brothers, only Jiaping was unconquerable.Maybe now she's starting to realize it, but it's too late. At this moment, Jiahe didn't expect Jiaping to say this.Because he was caught off guard, he was hit and was stunned. The two brothers held hands together, and Jiahe trembled.He really wanted to cry, to cry in the snow.Surrounded by people, he tried his best to choke on the grievances that surged up, and felt tears streaming from his eyes.Jiaping also forgot his feelings, with tears in his eyes, and said: "I know who you like—" "Stop talking!" Jiahe yelled and turned his head to leave, but Jiaping firmly held him back, the two paused for a moment, and broke up almost at the same time.Dazzling snow separated the two brothers.It seems that their respective backs are wet and blurry, and they can't see each other clearly... Hang Tianzui sat on a lonely boat covered with flying snow in the sky. He vaguely felt that this world seemed familiar. It was also so silent and uninhabited. It was crystal clear, white and bright, just like a dream. Woolen cloth?He squinted his eyes and looked towards Beishan. The furry hills were undulating. Behind the hills, there was such a place, and there was a Sansheng stone in that place.There, he and the guest had become crystal clear and white, their hair was shiny and shiny... There was a lot of things in front of them and behind them, and if they wanted to talk, they would be heartbroken.Wuyue's mountains and rivers have been searched all over, but because of the smoke, he fell into Chengtang-...·.He called out: "Sender, you have to come up!" Zhao Zhike emerged from the water and responded loudly, "If you ask me to come up, I will come up." Just after the Spring Festival that year, Jiacao started to have a stomachache, and could not give birth for two days and two nights. Hang Tianzui himself set a precedent in his Huamu Shenfang.At the beginning, the family's thoughts were all on Jiacao's dystocia, and they didn't pay too much attention to this crippled life that was getting old due to illness.Until he was lying on the bed, suddenly showing a shy expression on his face, and asked Lu Ai to call the guest who was busy in front of the hall, Lu Ai still didn't understand what it meant, and turned to face the person who was helping to decoct the medicine.的寄草："寄草，你去找你干爹，我在这里陪着你爹。" 赵寄客进来时，绿爱却发现这对老朋友几乎什么话也没说，赵寄客面孔从来没有像今天这样苍白过。如果寄草再细腻一些，准会发现那苍白里还有不同寻常的错红。 杭天醉让寄草向寄客磕一个头，说："寄草，赵先生身边无儿无女，你做赵先生的亲女儿吧。" 寄草虽然小，却很懂事了，不禁就流下泪来，对着赵寄客磕了个头，叫了一声"爹"，便大哭了。 杭天醉又叫寄草把那把曼生壶取来，又叫寄草念那刻在壶身上的字。 "内清明，外直方，吾与尔偕藏。"寄草边哭边惊异地问，"爹，这是赵先生送你的壶啊，你让我拿着干啥，你要喝茶吗？" 天醉指指绿爱，说："送……给你妈……" 绿爱突然明白了，面孔腾地通红，她一把拉住丈夫的手，人就跪了下来。 赵寄客说："天醉，你听我说——" 杭天醉费劲地摇头，几乎是恐惧地说："不要说，不要说" 赵寄客便倒退着要往外走，杭天醉又发出了急切的请求："别走……别走…… 就站在门口，别走开。让我看得到你们-…·" 嘉和的眼泪刷地流了下来。他一直悄悄地站在旁边，不多说一句话。他也一直控制着自己不能开的那扇悲痛的闸门。他比任何人都更能理解父亲那颗心，多年来是怎么被来来去去的日子锯拉得血肉模糊的；嘉和比任何人都明白，父亲把属于他的内在的生活弄得不可收拾，没有人来拯救他的灵魂…… 他凑近到父亲的耳边，轻轻说："嘉平托人带信来了，他很安全，很好，他还和从前一样，什么也不怕。爹，你养了一条好汉…… " 杭天醉的眼睛亮了起来，一种骤然发亮的光采，一种从前只在嘉平眼睛里看到的光采，嘉和不知道这光采是父亲留传给嘉平的，还是嘉平给予父亲的。但嘉和明白了，父亲在临终前赞许了他的二儿子。 嘉和的眼泪，一大滴，滴在了父亲的额上。他听见父亲对他说："……指望……你们了……" 就在这时，杭天醉听到了很远的地方，传来猫叫一样微弱的哭声…… 现在好了，再也无所牵挂了，杭天醉闭上了双眼，他觉得他是可以离开这个完全出人意料之外的世界了。他在这个世界里所过的不长不短的一生，就如一场眼花缘乱的大梦。他渐渐地失去了其他一切的知觉，他的喉口却突然觉得干渴无比。是地狱到了？地狱之火在烧着他了？还是升了天堂？原来天堂里也有烈火。模模糊糊地，他看见了那个熟悉的身影，在他前面，引导着他，走向那不可知的深处……他听到一个声音大声叫道："生了！生了！生了！是个儿子！天醉睁开眼，看看，看你的外孙，快看、快看一眼……" 他突然睁大眼睛，猛地从忘J；l中醒了回来，那反弹的力量之大，几乎使他的肩膀颤动。他看见眼前一个模模糊糊的红肉团，他听见有人说："他看见了！他看见了！" 他还能分辨得出儿子嘉和的呼唤："爹，爹，给取个名字，给取个名字……" 但是火焰就在那个背影上燃烧起来了，背影被烧化了，眼前一团红光，他再一次觉得喉口如焚，腥血甜腻，人们听见他最后的一声呼叫："忘忧……" 这两个字是随着一口血花一起喷出去的，他上身一个踉跄，几乎趴在婴儿身上，半压住了他。这个刚刚被命名为"忘忧"的孩子大声啼哭起来。这是一个多么奇异的新生儿啊，他雪白雪白，连胎毛也是白的，连眼睫毛也是白的。他的哭声又细又柔，却绵绵不绝——这是一个多么奇异的新生儿啊！ 而那个半卧在他身上的身体，就逐渐僵冷下去了。 此时，乃中华民国第十七年早春来萌之际，大雪压断了竹梢，鸟儿被冻住了婉转歌喉。 杭州郊外的茶山，一片肃穆，铁绿色的茶蓬沉默无语，卧蹲在肃杀的山坡上，仿佛锈住了盔甲的兵士阵营。 连一枚春天的茶芽都还见不着呢…… 它们被压在了哪一片的雪花之下了呢…… 1994年9月5日17时25分初稿 1994年12月3日19时25分二稿 1995年2月15日11时55分三稿 1995年8月5日11时15分四稿 1995年9月10日11时30分五稿
