Chapter 10 Thrilling scene (10)

... The night was dark.Rain, patter. With his head down, Ma Yanxiong walked back and forth on the land in front of the lamp.His tall shadow swayed on the wall.As he walked, his footsteps were in a hurry, as he usually did on the mountain roads in the countryside, as if there were many urgent matters that he needed to do quickly. He hit his head on the door!He raised his head abruptly, his squinted eyes stared long and confusedly at the door, at the big iron lock outside the crack of the door, those two bloodless lips trembled violently... This is no longer in the county prison, but in the veterinary station of Shimen Commune.

He enjoyed his precious freedom for only a few hours before losing it.He didn't even get a good look at his dear Magnolia, and he didn't even have time to ask her about his son--poor child!In order to have him as a father, he is now carrying the bucket of paste amidst white eyes and insults... But the greater pain than this is: he doesn't know how the situation in the whole county will develop.As the head of the family, he is responsible for only three people; as the secretary of the county party committee, he is responsible for the 130,000 people in the county. But what can he do now?

Right now, the two factions are like two crazily turning stone mills, and he is like a bean in the middle of the two stone mills.If the two mills can be kept from grinding together, his "bean" will be crushed to pieces and ground into flour, and he is willing and happy to do it.But, can his little bean separate the two mills?Can you order them not to stick together and rub against each other?The answer is yes: this is a social unrest, and he cannot change the situation personally.So, from this point of view, shouldn't he be this "bean"?Shouldn't he jump out from between the two mills?

The answer is also yes: he can't "jump" out!He can jump out, but not out!He is a member of the Communist Party and the secretary of the party's county party committee. He cannot leave the storm to find a haven for himself.Nor can it be like Li Weiguang who sold himself to one faction in order to find a protective umbrella for himself, which would suddenly deepen the conflict between the two factions.So what should he do? He rested his head on the door panel, looking melancholy at the dark rainy night through the crack of the door. No superior leader can give him direct instructions.The provincial, prefectural and county committees have been smashed, their powers have been taken away, they can't hear the radio, they can't read the newspapers, and the Party Central Committee doesn't know all the spirit of the current movement.He can only judge everything in front of him by his consciousness as a Communist Party member.He has reached the point where he has no superiors and subordinates, and he is fighting alone!

This situation, this situation, Ma Yanxiong is not alone in front of him, tens of thousands of people are in this situation: everything depends on oneself to lead and direct oneself.This is a test of the body, but also a test of the soul.Is it innocent or mean?Is it sublime or low?Is it brave to sacrifice for the party and the people, or is it opportunistic for personal interests?There can only be one of the two roads, and everyone must choose.The harsh reality requires everyone to expose their hearts to it nakedly.There was a light wind and drizzle outside the door, and Ma Yanxiong's heart was full of violent wind and waves... Now, he raised his head from the floor, steam was rising from his forehead, and his pale face was stained with juice.He came to the oil lamp, wiped his face with his sleeve, and sat on the edge of the kang.The light reflected the feverish cheeks from intense thinking, and there was a faint red color in the pale.

After sitting like this for a while, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and began to fumble with his hands nervously.After touching for a long time, my hand hangs down feebly—the ragged cotton jacket was not brought!The map, the pencil, these two precious things are no longer with him! He let out a long sigh of disappointment. While sighing, he seemed to hear a very small voice coming from the crack of the door.In this closed world, any sound can affect his nerves.At first he thought it was the noise made by mosquitoes, but now that it was late autumn, where did the mosquitoes come from?He listened again—and now he heard clearly: My God!It was a human voice!who?His heart flinched.How could someone appear at the door of his kiln if he didn't hear the sound of the door opening outside the courtyard?He walked nervously to the back of the door and looked out through the crack of the door: he saw a dark figure squatting halfway in front of the door.In order to see the man's face clearly, he also squatted down behind the door. When his squinted eyes met with a pair of shining eyes in the darkness outside the door, he was so surprised that he almost fell to the ground—ah, This person is Liu Bingkui!

This person is Liu Bingkui.How could he descend to this place like a heavenly soldier? Bingkui is now gently opening the door and lifting it.Taking advantage of this moment, let’s first explain a few things—after Ma Yanxiong was dragged away by Red Finger, Liu Bingkui was like a person who lost a lot of money on the streets of the county town the next day, running from the front street to the back street, and then from the back street. Street ran to Front Street. The county town is full of murderous intent, and Mr. Hong is actively preparing to attack Shimen.A fierce battle is about to break out, and the life of the old horse who has been imprisoned again is hard to save!

He was sweating profusely on the street all day, not knowing what to do!He was also afraid that Hei San from his village would run into him.If this opportunist saw him, it would be strange if he couldn't be trampled to death by calling a group of "Sun Dasheng"! He hurried into the public toilet on the corner of the street, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind.He first took the little money he had with him, and bought a few loads of dry firewood in a village near the city in the rain, and took them to Ma Yanxiong's house;On the 25th, he went to a small town in the north to find a well-known old Chinese doctor, and gave Ma Yanxiong's wife who was seriously ill a round of Chinese medicine.

On the 26th, when there was no one around, Liu Bingkui posted a "wanted warrant" on the corner of the street, stuffed it in his arms, and hurried to Shimen in the rain. He wants to rescue Ma Yanxiong!The cruel reality turned this farmer into a "green forest hero" in a few days.When we arrived at Shimen Commune, it was still dark.The surrounding hills are full of people digging fortifications with red fingers-it seems that they are also ready to fight.Bad luck for the old horse! After staying in a cave until dark, this bright and upright member of the Communist Party sneaked like a thief near the veterinary station under the commune-he found out on the way that the old horse was locked up here.Someone stood guard at the gate.He slipped from the front wall to the back wall and climbed an old elm tree to the top of the wall.He took off his old blue cloth belt, tied it to a branch of an old elm tree, and hoisted himself into the yard of the veterinary station.As soon as he landed, he crawled to the door... Now, Bingkui has gently lifted a door hinge out of the shaft recess.

He gently squeezed in through the corner of the opened door, and gently lifted the door into the shaft recess.He wrapped his arms around Ma Yanxiong's thin shoulders with two strong arms of a farmer, looked at him nervously, his eyes filled with tears of excitement... He pulled Ma Yanxiong to the corner of the stove, and took out the "wanted warrant" from his arms.The light couldn't reach here, so Ma Yanxiong almost covered his eyes with the arrest warrant and read it. After reading it, he fell into deep thought. Liu Bingkui put his bearded mouth close to Ma Yanxiong's ear, and said hastily: "Old horse! Boss Hong is going to attack Shimen in order to catch you. Hongzhi is also digging fortifications on the mountain. The situation is very serious." Nervous, hurry up and run with me to the mountain! Run out and go to Liutan. You know that on the cliff in the back of our village, the people hid in Hu Zongnan’s cliff cellar in 1947. You hid there, and we gave If you send food and drink, it is guaranteed that any blind bear will not be able to find you. Hurry up, old horse!"

Ma Yanxiong raised his head and looked at him and said, "Bingkui, don't be nervous. Tell me, will anyone in the city suffer any more in the past few days?" "I didn't hear anything. I heard that after Hongzhi took you away, Mr. Hong locked up all the leading cadres in the county, large and small, for fear that Hongzhi would rob you again. Oh, I met you on the way to Shimen. Here comes Lao Yang from the party school, that is, the principal Yang Peimin of the party school. I have been to the party school and I know him." "Old Yang?" Ma Yanxiong grabbed Liu Bingkui's arm with one hand and asked vigorously, "What's the matter with him? Hurry up." Tell me!" Anxious Liu Bingkui could only swallow a mouthful of saliva, gasped and whispered: "Lao Yang was secretly released last night by a Red Guard student guarding the prison! The Red Guard's father is the secretary of a brigade in Shimen Commune. During this period, he went to the party school a few times, but he couldn’t pay the food expenses, and it was all paid by Lao Yang. He thought of Lao Yang’s kindness, so he went to the city and forced his son to release Lao Yang secretly. He planned to personally escort Lao Yang Yang crossed the Yellow River and turned from Shanxi to send Lao Yang to his hometown in Guanzhong. I met them on the road. Oh, you don’t know, Lao Yang has become a handful of dry wood, his glasses and temples are glued together, and he is very sick I couldn’t even walk, and the farmer held his arms all the way. When Lao Yang heard that I was looking for you, he burst into tears, and told me to rescue you no matter what. After I rescued you, Do everything possible to send them to Guanzhong..." Ma Yanxiong let out a long breath, touched his face happily, and said excitedly to Liu Bingkui: "Bingkui, you have brought bad news and good news. You have heard of Lao Yang's Party class? Have you heard of it? Lao Yang’s level of Marxist-Leninist theory is not only second to none in our county, it is also one of the best in the whole region. But he has always been sick, and he is the poorest among the middle-level cadres in the county. I have been worried He can't stand the torture, it's all right now!" The iron lock outside the door was slammed by the wind, and Liu Bingkui shivered. He grabbed Ma Yanxiong's hand nervously with both hands, shook it vigorously and said, "Good old horse, let's go quickly, if you don't want to go, don't worry about it." Dare to waste time!" Ma Yanxiong twisted the knuckles of one hand hard in the temple, suddenly turned his head and asked softly: "Can you get out?" "Yes!" Liu Bingkui raised his iron-like chin towards the door, and said, "We climbed over the wall, and my belt is still tied to the elm tree!" His eyes were shining. With his knuckles in his temples, Ma Yanxiong was lost in thought again. Liu Bingkui stared at him, twisting the muscles in his leg with his right hand, the tension made his body tremble violently like a tractor in motion. Ma Yanxiong suddenly turned his pale face, and made a resolute gesture to Liu Bingkui to go.Liu Bingkui's stout body suddenly looked like an athlete, and rushed to the door.He leaned on the crack of the door and looked out, then swiftly and silently lifted the door shaft out of the shaft recess.Now they came under the wall of the yard.Liu Bingkui picked up the thin and thin Ma Yanxiong with two thick arms, and put him on the wall with one hand, and he himself climbed up by grabbing his belt. He untied his belt from the tree, wrapped two around his waist, and slipped out of the wall along the tree trunk first.He raised his arm outside the wall and gently took Ma Yanxiong down. The two figures quickly disappeared into the rainy night...
