Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One

When the mother's coffin was carried out from the main room, Huai Bao only dared to stand behind the door of the wing room and look out through the crack of the door.Mother fainted and had a cerebral hemorrhage at the meeting place where he was criticizing him that day, and went there a few days later. She died because she felt sorry for herself! There is no sounder team, no firecrackers, no fire paper, and no wreaths.Father, brother-in-law and two neighbors carried the thin coffin and walked slowly out of the courtyard, followed by only the younger sister who was sobbing softly. How much he wanted to rush out, hold the coffin and cry, but he couldn't, he had to pretend to be a bedridden patient with a fractured vertebrae, and if he was found out once he went out, the bitter trick of his father would be over, and he would have to go back to the hospital again. Go to the criticizing platform.

He stood silently behind the door, looking at the empty courtyard, until his father, brother-in-law, and younger sister came back from the cemetery.The brother-in-law and younger sister were afraid of being implicated by his "capitalist roader" brother, so they went to the hospital to put down the belongings for carrying the coffin, and then went out to go home.Huai Bao saw his father sitting alone in the courtyard smoking dry cigarettes. The founder of philosophy, his "History of General Philosophy" is the foundation work of comparative philosophy. , one bag after another, until dusk came into the yard.

Just as the twilight was getting thicker, there was a sound of kicking footsteps in the courtyard, and Huai Bao recognized that the vague figure was the rightist Shen Jian.Uncle Liao, if you want to open up, he heard Shen Jian talking to his father. Nothing, I can think about it.Huaibao saw his father get up slowly, and pointed at the room where Huaibao lived with the smoke pot. He lived in that room, you, persuade him. Sitting by the bed, Huai Bao listened quietly to the sound of Shen Jian and his father's footsteps approaching, the door was pushed open, and the darkness inside and outside the room merged into one, making it impossible to see the expression on Shen Jian's face clearly.No one went to light a lamp to be the enemy. In the "natural state" that couldn't be realized, people made an agreement and a contract. The three of them sat in the dark. After a while, Huai Bao spoke first: Mr. Shen, your prophecy is very accurate !

Shen Jian's voice seemed to carry a smile: Since people are willing to lift a person to the altar, they should accept what he sows from the altar.He still spoke unhurriedly and calmly. well!Huaibao understood who he was referring to and sighed. But don't be afraid, a nation cannot avoid disasters, and a person can't avoid them either.Shen Jian seemed to be smiling. Yeah?Huai Bao felt refreshed, the fulfillment of Shen Jian's last conversation made him dare not take his words lightly, not to mention, now he is also eager to know how to avoid disaster. The morning when Mao Zedong launched this campaign was not because he had trouble with you, a county-level cadre. You were just a companion. What you are doing now is just to make people forget you. Small!That's the way to go right now, to convince people that you've broken a bone and are potentially paralyzed, you know?

Huai Bao nodded hastily. Mr. Shen, if Huaibao escapes the catastrophe this time, my Liao family will remember your kindness for the rest of my life!Liao Lao Qi spoke in a dark voice, and then turned to Huai Bao: Bao'er, it was Mr. Shen who taught me to hurt you. Thank you Shen—— Suddenly there were several dogs barking in the street. Huaibao suddenly fell silent. There was only silence in the house again...
