In the new year, Mr. Zhao quit on his own initiative.One of his novels was printed and fetched two hundred and fifty dollars. "Tianci, I have created money and want to go to Shanghai; come with me?" When Tianci heard "Shanghai", his heart itched for a while.But he couldn't go, he was a merchant's son after all, and he knew money; two hundred and fifty was not a great sum.When my mother died, it cost more than a thousand, and the coffin shroud was not included.What makes him even more ashamed is that he separates the three into two, who owns whose, mother's lesson; he can't go with Teacher Zhao, and it's all at the teacher's expense.If the teacher spends his money, he can do anything. After all, he is richer than the teacher, although the money is not in his hands.He shook his head at the teacher. "Two hundred and fifty yuan, you can spend a few days in Shanghai," Teacher Zhao threw away the cigarette after eating half of it. "Shanghai, wine woman, feed my soul!" Tianci didn't want to say it, but said it: "Is the money spent?"

"Since money is for spending, how can it be endless? It has been over more than once. I think at the beginning, when my father died, he left me a lot of money, and somehow it was over. If you have money, you can enjoy it. If you don't have money, you can enjoy it. Enjoy being poor. , From rich to poor, from poor to rich, it doesn't matter. I'm afraid that if you have two hundred and fifty and don't spend it, you will lose your soul if you keep the money! Don't you go? I will go! Where is Master Tiger? Please invite Master Tiger." Zhao The teacher gave Mr. Hu five yuan and nothing to Mama Ji. He didn't like Mama Ji.

Tianci thought that the teacher must dress up, since he "made a fortune".At least tidy things up, since we are leaving.The teacher seemed okay, smoking a cigarette.In the second half of the day, the teacher went out empty-handed and didn't come back until dinner time.Tianci found a small note on the wall of the study: "The only thing is to say goodbye to the ecstasy, goodbye!" According to Si Huzi, he saw the teacher go out, but he didn't speak, and his eyes were red.Tianci didn't eat dinner. The loneliness this time is unprecedented.He is no longer a child, and he can't play for half a day with a little stuff.He wants friends, not the kind of friends who are worshiping brothers in school, but real friends.Master Hu and Mama Ji are emotionally friends, but they can't talk to him anymore. The "bee" also loses its magical power, and she no longer "remembers" the bee, and her value has dropped a lot from her imagination; most of her beauty is created by him.Teacher Zhao is gone, no one will accompany him to dream and play during the day, she is still her.The past is a meaningless horror; he doesn't care much about what will happen in the future, but it's not bright, so what on earth is he going to do?He doesn't understand this world, Yuncheng is like this, Shiliupu is like that, how can he come back?Only Mr. Zhao can give him some empty happiness, although it is empty.He seemed to see that he could not be interested in practical matters.Only when he was thinking about it, his mind seemed to be able to move and be free.When it came to the real thing, he unexpectedly grasped his mother's rules, Yuncheng's opinions, and his father's sloppyness.He can't come up with brilliant ideas "by himself".He will not be in a hurry, sleeping with his head covered is the greatest resistance.

Looking in the mirror, he didn't seem to recognize himself.There are more eyebrows, half a circle of small hairs on the mouth, and some strength to the thin lips, but the nose is not as curled as before.There was no reliable look on his face, and his eyes were a little yellow. The "self" is lost, and there is nowhere to find it.Sometimes he sat in the study for a long time, thinking of Teacher Wang, Teacher Mi, those teachers in the school, and Teacher Zhao.What the hell are they doing?not understand.Teacher Mi's twitching made him laugh and be scared.Sometimes he wanted to write something, but after spending a lot of paper, he couldn't write anything.Often a single word makes him think for a day, but in the end he goes to sleep with his head covered. That single word ruins a whole article. Maybe it is such a beautiful article!one word!

At this time—Tianci was eighteen years old—Yuncheng experienced a huge change.Men and women can be classmates, and women can go to the Yamen to sue their father or husband!Naturally, men and women do not go to places where men and women are accepted, and there is no record of a woman suing her father in the yamen, but there is such a "qier".Yuncheng was much later than other places in terms of new things.It's made the old man's beard grow old; it's not safe to wipe a beard with anger.Mothers' hearts are in their throats all day long, lest their children do something unseemly.The children of many families dropped out of school, and many school teachers switched to private education.The rules of Yuncheng are that the holy old people have fulfilled their responsibility to grab money, and what they want their children to do is to follow the rules to marry boys and girls, and then have sons and daughters, obediently and lively.Most of the young people, who follow their fathers in business, are also opposed to this new thing, but they are willing to take a look: there is a man and woman walking together on the street, which makes their eyes water with tears, sour and happy.It is only some students who do this new thing.Students held meetings, students walked the streets, students gave speeches, and students were mixed.Even students who were forced to drop out of school secretly came out to participate.Before long, people coined a term—"troublesome students";The students really liked these things. They asked Dad for money, and then posted "Down with Capitalism" on Dad's door. It was very interesting.The more the old people stare, the more energetic they are.

Tianci's heart beat, he looked at them, and there was someone wearing a foreign suit!He swallowed.This is life!Not bound by the family, dare to resist, talk about the world, country, society; what is Yuncheng?He hurried to get a haircut, made it a "revolutionary head", put on his leather shoes again, and listened and watched on the street.He dared to look at women, and women looked at him too, they were all female students!He can catch up with them in terms of dress, but it's a pity that he is not in school and cannot participate in their assemblies and work. However, soon someone came to ask him out.Didn't he publish a small article in a Tianjin newspaper?Some people have read, they have seen that he is a writer.They have to run a newspaper and do a lot of publicity. He is a talent!God sent the clouds.He has friends, men and women.A woman ran out after being ripped off by her mother, her face still swollen.This aroused his enthusiasm, and he had to write poetry, which was bubbling in his heart.daughter's mouth,

The peach cloud burns on the peach cheek; Burn it up, burn down Cloud City, Red for half a day! Made by God.Hang on everyone's mouth.Some people criticized the inappropriate use of "Qianjin", and he defended himself, saying that this is a pun, which not only hints at the value of this mouth, but also definitely points out women; this is poetry!He argues, prides himself, imagines his greatness.Even Teacher Zhao is not as strong as him. He is a revolutionary, and Teacher Zhao will only suffer from poverty.He loves the country, loves the society, and takes pity on the poor.This is a very novel thing in Yuncheng.People in Yuncheng have no country, no society, and the poor deserve to die.He's farsighted, he's a philosopher, he doesn't know what's going on with him.

"Troublesome students" are in the middle of the bustle, and civil strife broke out in the north.People in Yuncheng are most afraid of war, because in a war not only will they suffer losses in business, but they will also have to collect military pay, make temporary donations, and share military tickets.Although they could raise prices before and after the war and strangle the poor to death, the gains outweigh the losses, and it doesn't quite follow the rules of business.Yuncheng worships Zigong, "Confucian disciples also live", if they can keep some sage ways, it is inconvenient to abandon them completely; if they can't, they can't, it's not their fault.They will never be able to tell who is fighting whom in these civil wars, and they don't care about who wins and who loses. They only hope that the army will not be able to reach Cloud City; if they come, they will go there early.They have no opinion, they just want to be spared.If possible, it is best to hang the Japanese flag.

I heard that the army has arrived at Huangjia Town, and as soon as the horse is urged, it will be Yuncheng.Disappointed Godsend.The students stopped making trouble.He is still imagining, planning some promotional articles.Somehow everyone dispersed.In his imagination, he realizes the truth much later than others.He is in the real thing, he has much less idea than others.After everyone dispersed, some people said that he had heard the sound of cannons, so he woke up, and he had no idea at all. Dad gets busy.He was not afraid of the sound of the cannon, he was used to it.He was afraid that the artillery would hit his shop.Dad hurriedly asked Tianci to help, but Tianci couldn't intervene, nor could he intervene.At this time, he can neither write poems nor do things. He will only cause trouble for others, and he will stumble on the ground when he is in a hurry.He was hungry earlier than others, and had to be served by others.In the hustle and bustle, he speaks style unconsciously; he can't forget his mother's pomp and rules, unless he is imagining being a savage or a poet.The guys respected him and waited on him, he was the young master.He thought it was interesting, he was a talent when he was a student, and he was a young master when he was a soldier, he was a master of both sides.

Since the war is in the area of ​​Yuncheng, everyone wants to occupy Yuncheng first; this city is wide and easy to talk about: give what you want, and grab it again after you want it, double fat.The soldiers are here!Most of the shops were closed during the day, and they were only busy selling cakes, and the county sent bakers to deliver them to the barracks.The cakes were being baked lively, and artillery was fired into the city from a distance.The army in the city ran towards the city wall with a pancake in one hand and a gun in the other.Some hold cakes in both hands, because three people hold a gun.The artillery fire outside the city was very dense.After fighting for a whole day, Nadabing's army was exhausted and began to loot; in the middle of the night, all parts of the city were on fire.The old man was walking around the house, coughing unceasingly as he heard the gunshots.There was a fire in the distance, and he guessed where it started, praying in his heart that God would not burn his shop down.Tianci was very sleepy, but he couldn't sleep either. He looked at his father and felt very sad, but he couldn't think of how to comfort him.Mama Ji, Master Hu and his wife also came to the front yard, neither of them wanted to show weakness, but their faces were pale.

"Fulong is over!" Dad looked south with his foot down: "It must be!" Dad trembled. "It can't...it can't be Fulong!" Everyone contended. "My business, I don't know where it is? It's Fulong. It's more than 30 years of business! Huzi, help me up the wall and take a look!" Dad was trembling violently, breathing heavily, but he wanted to Go to the wall to see. "Dad, I'll go!" Tianci had no choice but to take risks, the gun was still flying straight. "Are you going to see it? Your eyes!" Dad didn't believe anyone's eyes. God can't help it, he only knows that Fulong is on South Street, and he really can't measure the distance. Dad had to go up the wall, Furlong was on fire, he could only be careless with the gun, he had to see with his own eyes, he would know where Furlong was. Tianci held the lamp; Lord Tiger supported the old man on a long bench.Dad couldn't get up, he was trembling, his mouth was open, and his head was covered with cold sweat.Holding Master Hu's hand, he panted; he held his breath, and with the strength of Master Hu, he went up with one leg.Just resting with one foot up and the other down, he closed his eyes.He accumulates reserves.Suddenly, his trembling hand clenched Grandpa's, trying to get on that foot again.Clap clap a burst of machine guns!Master Hu was also sweating: "Come down, Cockscomb Gun!" The old man said nothing, leaned on the wall with one hand, held Master Hu with the other, and went up.In the end he went up, coughed for a while, and grabbed the top of the wall with his hands, grasping firmly, he saw it.Daodong, South Street, is red, and a large strand of black smoke is wrapped in black clusters and sparks going to a higher place; the black clusters and sparks rise in mid-air, and fall from the smoke; Stretching, crooked, dark black, light gray, all kinds of smoke rods are squeezed, changing, merging, and separating. Suddenly, there are more sparks and fireballs in the smoke, and the color of the smoke becomes lighter.Immediately after the light of the fire went down, the smoke thickened again, and the black puffs rose up randomly, rising very high, covering half of the sky with the stars.There is a smell in the air.That's Furlong and its business.No one put out the fire, it burned freely.He stood there like a tree, he didn't even seem to be able to tremble, only his two eyes were alive, watching Fulong, who had been in existence for more than thirty years, turn into a big puff of black smoke, bending and circling, fierce and reluctant She came to the north, walked and turned back. Although Master Hu supported him with both hands, he couldn't hold him up and his upper body suddenly fell down, and he fell down.Tianci let out a cry, and the lamp fell to the ground.It's all black, but there is a faint light in the sky, and paper dust is flying.
