In a small town in the middle of the Yangtze River, on a light rainy day in October, in a small pawn shop on a side street, under the old and dirty cabinets, stood three thin and lowly women, each arguing with the person at the counter. Price.One of them had a dispute over the amount of five cents for a fifty-cent deal, and couldn't settle the deal. He raised a thin arm and quickly grabbed a bag of old clothes thrown by the clerk from the counter. , cast a fierce look at the other two women, made an air of determination, and hurried out.But when the woman was about to reach the door, she turned her head timidly and said to the person on the counter: "Mr. Big, can you add a dime?"

"No! Don't go, go out, and don't want fifty cents back." When the woman heard this, she had gone through several small betting shops with these things, and the price she paid could not exceed 50 cents. Once she went out, she might really not want it when she came back, so she looked a little weak.She stood on the corner of the small screen by the door, hesitated for a moment, and said very sadly: "He must use sixty cents, not to buy rice for cooking, but to buy medicine to save lives!" A few court officials on the counter smiled maliciously.Because there is no lack of a reason to be pitiful for anyone who pawns clothes. Recently, smallpox has been prevalent in the backstreets, and people who pawn things are talking about buying medicine, so it is even more ridiculous.

As a result, the woman seemed to be angry and walked out the door, but she came back immediately and staggered back to the counter.After a while, he raised his hand again to the sloppy package and said the words on the cabinet, but he didn't immediately reach out to accept the dirty package.I had to agree on the conditions first, "50 cents, don't want one more," agreed, and finally took the package, unwrapped it on the counter, shook the two old clothes lightly, and sang A report that ordinary people will never hear clearly.After a while, a pawn ticket made of tissue paper and the same envelope of copper coins were thrown from above.The woman glanced at the pawn ticket ignorantly, put it in the small breast pocket of her sweater, then took the copper coins, sat on a bench under the window, and counted the folded copper coins of fifty cents.After counting back and forth three times, I figured out the money, and then slowly wrapped it on the stool, then sighed and walked out the door.

one Going out of the pawn shop, looking at the sky, the drizzle is getting heavier and heavier.She remembered that when she was at the counter of the pawnshop just now, there were a few torn newspapers left by someone on the ground, so she walked back again, picked up the newspapers, covered her head and shoulders to prevent the rain, and then went to the distance. Walk in a small alley of the twelve pawnshops on the street. The side street of XX is located in the north of XX City, XX City. It is about one mile and one third to the newly opened No. 4 asphalt road in this city, and less than half a mile to the old city wall. Due to the influx of foreign merchant capital in the place of ××, the market has developed at an unexpected speed. Due to the expansion of the commercial port, it has gradually moved from south to north. Therefore, the situation of the few streets near the side street is also different from day to day. .However, because the side street is too close to the "Garden with White Walls" which the locals call "Garden of White Walls", it is specially designed to close the lowly illegal human prison, so the development of the commercial port, after reaching XX Street, turns to the east.Because there are many empty lands in the east, and it is far away from the prison. That place was originally a lot of very low and wet places, where countless lowly humans and animals abandoned by the sky usually live.After arriving, this place was delimited by the government and sold to the local wealthy group by the mu, and signs were inserted in sections everywhere.After a while, someone transported countless silt and heavy stones from the big river to fill up these places.After some days, countless houses were built in those places.As for the people who used to live in the thatched huts on the low and wet ground in the east city, except for a few young and strong who were suitable for work and stayed as laborers, the rest of the old and young men and women would naturally be evicted.Some of them moved further east.Some moved to the more convenient North District, living a life that no one could imagine.Because of the involvement of these elements, the North District naturally seemed to be lively and chaotic, sheds were set up in open spaces everywhere, dilapidated temples were filled with people everywhere, stoves, butcher tables, and shop cabinets were everywhere. At night, there are many people who have nowhere to live, scrambling to occupy a place first, wrapped in tattered wadding, curled up in a ball, closed two haggard eyes, and spent a remote cold night.

Although this is the same piece of land as XX City, due to various reasons, it seems to have been abandoned and became an independent district.Many people who have lived in the southern district of ×× City and the residential areas in the newly opened area, if they have not been here for special events, it seems that they would not believe that there are such places in ×× City. In September, in these hell-like areas, there have been periods of dryness and periods of rain, and as usual, epidemics have come from nowhere, and many children have been infected with smallpox.This disease is like a gust of wind, blowing to the densely populated areas of people everywhere. Every family with children will inevitably have a patient. Some people can be seen everywhere, covering their heads with red paper, and swelling can be seen everywhere. With a purple face, small coffins can be seen here and there.The small coffins in Baishantang were later used up by the poor in this area.Smallpox hadn't stopped spreading until the coffins in Shantang were collected, and people wrapped small corpses in small baskets or broken mats on the streets and sent them out of the city all day long.Every morning, in public toilets or those relatively open places, or in front of people's shop cabinets, you can always find the sea of ​​small corpses that have died not long ago, whose bodies are swollen and cracked, have lost their original human shape, and have been abandoned by someone. The local authorities, regarding the remedy for this kind of low and dirty disease, besides accepting the proposal of a sensible gentleman, put some patrolmen at the end of the side street and the intersection leading to the prosperous area of ​​the city, and prohibit people who carry children out of their homes. Outside the street, nothing has been done.According to the custom, there is the public hospital of Shantang on the side street, and the place where medicine and coffins are dispensed in Tongshantang, and all relief is done in this shantang.But at some point the coffin was gone.

At the same time, this strange disease that God uses filth to wipe out all filth has shifted from children to adults.Everyone only hopes for the wind, because according to an ignorant legend, medicine can only relieve those who do not deserve to die of this disease brought from hell, but if there is a gust of wind, those little devils who spread smallpox can be cured. A gust of wind blew away, and finally gradually calmed down. When should the wind that takes care of everything come?God does not exist here. Since this place is abandoned by heaven, where should the wind come from?Naturally, everyone looked forward to this strange wind, but most people died in hope.The weather is approaching late autumn, and the seasons are different. There have been many days of light rain, and the climate has changed. The power of this infectious disease seems to be slightly smaller.

The woman who used a newspaper as a hat and was walking under the eaves of other people's houses had passed through a place called a side street, and entered a low place with some old foreign porcelain washbasins, useless pieces of wood, some broken pieces, etc. In a small house with a roof made of bricks and a lot of unimaginable waste.As soon as I entered, because it was a little dark inside, I kicked the water, was startled, and screamed to the patient who was sleeping on the bed. "Sirong, Sirong, why is the room full of water, don't you know?" Lying down on an old door plaque that was also called a bed, he was feverish and thirsty. At this time, he heard that his family members had returned, and he was very happy. A low echo. "Mother, you are back, give me water!" The child's voice was so low and weak, shaking the woman's feelings, the woman bit her lower lip and restrained herself.

But the woman seemed to be a little angry, and stood at the door, "How much water do you drink! Let me ask you. Our house is full of water, don't you know?" "I heard someone yelling from behind, saying that Datong Company had dug a trench to release water. I heard them swearing, but I don't know who was swearing." The woman ignored the patient and hurried to the back of the house.When I got to the back, I saw many people digging the embankment with their dicks.Because the surrounding area is too low, the rainwater has accumulated into a small lake for several days, and it tends to fill these small houses.Today, however, due to the accumulation of water released from the nearby factories, the water all flows to this low place, so many people's homes were immediately flooded.

At this time, many people cooperated and used some guys to dig up the mud from the water and piled it on the spot to form a small embankment.Some children who escaped from smallpox, whose stubbornness was tortured by disease and hunger, stood on high places obsessively, watching their family members do things. The woman asked a man who was digging a ditch where the acne scars on his face had not been completely removed. She called him Zugui and asked him what was going on.The man was getting a little angry about this, and said, "What's going on, only God knows! Our house will be under water tomorrow!"

The woman said, "Is your house flooded too?" The man said: "You can catch fish!" The woman said, "Is there no other way?" The man just laughed. "What method?" At that time, he was picking up a shovel of mud and throwing it on the small dike, "This is it, labor is sacred." A little farther away, a woman stood by the water and was worried, so she told Si Rong's mother, "Someone has already sued the police." "In the police station, they are trying to use this incident to drive us away!" The man said as he walked over and fished a bamboo tube into the water with a shovel in his hand. "The people in the bureau are all robbers! They can only lie to us, scold us, and slander us. The only thing they haven't done is set fire to our house."

Someone said: "Don't talk nonsense!" Zugui, who had acne scars, said: "If the district chief is willing to tell the truth, he will tell you everything in detail!" The woman said: "The district chief said he donated his salary to distribute cotton clothes, and he will do this in October!" "Who will get his coat? Every district chief says that, and there are even better and smarter words! He said that, next time he will send someone to collect money from the family, and ask us to give him a plaque. Last time for the district Chang published the newspaper and paid two hundred dollars, and the nine sons of the Zhang family told us that my name was also seen in the newspaper. The ghost knows, what is the benefit of having my name published in the newspaper, it is nothing!" Another old man who was moving soil to stop the water from reaching his house said, "Why is there no benefit? I don't have a name if I pay a hundred dollars! Many people don't have a name for a hundred dollars!" The elder Zu Guiwang showed a pitiful smile: "Do you want to have your name on the report? Every time a person is cut down in the garden, a name is published in the newspaper... "The woman called the woman who was standing by the water worrying, and asked: "Who is going to sue the bureau? " The woman said: "Master Zhang, who wrote letters for others, said that he went to the bureau to report and asked the bureau to send someone to take a look. He is very enthusiastic about his work." The man with the acne scar on his face who was digging dirt said, "He went to report it. While reporting this incident, he went to accompany the inspector to burn cigarettes and beg for the ashes." Because the worried woman didn't quite agree with this sentence, she argued: "What burning cigarettes? Mr. Zhang is a good man! He wrote letters for you, did he ask for any money? His brother died, and he recited by himself" ×Go, when I came back, my tears were still wet, whoever said, Master Zhang, do a good deed and write me a post, he would be ashamed to refuse other people's request!" Zugui said: "What's the use of that? Who doesn't admit that he is a good person? But what's the use of being a good person? Besides, he does something for you, and he doesn't forget his own identity. He and everyone say that he is a superior. Sergeant, he is a member of the military. He has a bad fate and was removed from his position by the revolutionaries. He came here because he felt that he was nobler than you, and his status was higher than yours. He pitied you and helped you everywhere. He said to If you borrow money, you will pay back the one you borrow. But once you get addicted to it, there will be nowhere for this songbird to go to the inspector except to beg for ashes!" "But the inspector thinks highly of him, and everyone in the bureau thinks highly of him!" "You said the inspector gave him the ashes?" "He is a scholar." "Is he a scholar? Make him look like a scholar!" The man said to himself again, "He is not a scholar! A scholar is shameless, I look down on a scholar. Because they can read a few words, they can think of many ways to bully us, persecute us, coax us, and lie to us.I hate 'em...' thought the worried woman, 'who did you learn all this nonsense from? "I quickly stuffed my fingers into my ears and shook my head, because what I heard seemed unreasonable and dangerous. She knew that Zugui had a lot of words when he said these things, and he couldn't stop for a while, and no one could control him She then looked at the weather, the light rain was still falling in the sky. She seemed to remember the things she should worry about, and felt that there was no point in arguing, so she pulled a piece of old hemp market draped over her shoulders, He jumped over a small ditch and got into his little room. At this time, in the distance, there was a woman crying leisurely in the house. It must be that in a hut full of water, a lowly life died again.Some people by the water immediately knew whose child had passed away.Because of these people, there will never be any smoke coming out of the house in normal seasons.There is a sick person in the family, no matter how poor they are, and usually have no food to eat, they still have to prepare a little paper money when they are down, and when the sickness is down, they will be burned by the bedside, and the small room will naturally be filled with green smoke At this moment, the smoke and the woman's crying overflowed out of the door together, and some good people or people who were acquainted with each other walked over to visit. At this time, the woman remembered that the patient in her home wanted water to drink, so she hurried back to her room, because the groundwater had loosened the soil, she accidentally slipped, and put it on the shelf. The iron box fell to the ground with a clatter, and the copper coin in his hand was scattered into the water. The patient on the bed sighed and asked weakly: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" The woman got up from the water annoyed, "Damn it!" She immediately picked up the money, wiped her hands on her body, reached into a pile of rags to touch the patient's forehead, and walked over to the water tank to scoop up water. , but remembering that it is not good for the patient to drink cold water, he said: "Sirong, don't drink cold water, wait until I boil water to drink." The patient seemed not sober, and only mumbled some other words. The woman squatted in the water next to the bed and touched the scattered copper coins. After touching for a long time, she got it completely.After counting twice more, he wrapped it in a rag, placed it under the patient's bedside mat, and stroked the patient's forehead with his wet hands again. "Mother, my mouth is very dry, please scoop up some cold water for me to drink, I have a fever in my heart!" Without saying a word, the woman took a pot and went out, went to another house where the water was being boiled, begged for some warm water, and brought it back to the patient.The patient was given water and drank it all at once.After drinking the water for a while, the patient became more awake, so he asked what time it was and whether it was going to be night.The woman leaned beside the bed, took off the newspaper on her head, folded it into one side, and pressed it under the bed, saying nothing.She was considering one thing, that is, should she spend the fifty cents she got at the pawnshop just now to buy medicine, or should she keep it to buy rice?She had calculated everything in her mind, with so little money and so much to do, that she could not decide what to do. After the sick man drank the water, he wanted to sit up, but the woman helped him up and did not allow him to get out of bed, because there was already water under the bed. Seeing the child's pain, the woman asked him, "Sirong, tell the truth, is it better?" "It's much better. Mom, what are you in a hurry for? Our fate is in the sky, not in our own hands." "I see that your fever is worse today." "Who knows?" the patient said, and smiled weakly when he recalled the previous dream. "I seem to have eaten a lot of peaches and pears for a while. Where will there be peaches these days?" The woman said, "Would you like some peaches?" "I want to eat oranges." "It seems that there are oranges on the market in the past two days." "I think a lot, I don't really want to eat. I dream a lot of things we can't afford! How many good things I see in my dreams! I see a big fish, a big fish three feet long, coming out of a chicken coop Jump out, what's the sign?—God knows, I'm going to die!" When the woman heard that she was going to die, she felt a little flustered, but hurriedly said: "Of course there are plenty of fish left over..." At that moment, at the door, an acquaintance woman passing by, dragged her hoarse voice to the people inside. Ask: "Liu Niang, Liu Niang, what, are you at home? Is the child better?" "It's better, thank you. My room is full of water, don't you sit down?" "Don't sit down, my house is full of water! Why don't you go to the garden today? I ran into Uncle Seven at the kiln shop, and he asked you how long it's been since I haven't seen you. He wants you to go, he has something for you to do." "Is Uncle Qi's child all right?" "Which one do you think it is? The second one is fine, the fourth and fifth ones have already been buried." When the patient heard the words outside, he asked the woman, "Mother, what's the matter, is Uncle Qi's child dead?" The woman hurried to the door, and waved her hand to the woman who stopped at the door, asking her to stop talking. After a while, the woman left the patient and went to the prison, which the locals called "the garden with white walls". Uncle Qi, who is in charge of all kinds of trivial things in this prison, such as buying things and delivering meals.This is a bald, red-faced, petite old man who spent fourteen years in prison doing petty things, begged for a crazy and paralyzed wife, who couldn't do anything, but slept on the bed and bore him five children.When it came time to raise the fifth child so that she no longer needed to be nursed, the woman seemed to have fulfilled the responsibilities assigned to her as a human being, and there was no reason to stay in this world anymore. Died of fever.The bald seventh uncle cried a lot, carried the woman out of the bed into the coffin, and sent her out of the suburbs with the white wooden coffin, so he went to the prison to run errands for those people in hell during the day, buying things for Dang, Ask for news, pass some letters, get a little money from those affairs.At night, I come back to sleep with five children in a big bed, and put the youngest one on the side closest to me.When going out to do things during the day, order the older children to take care of the younger ones.Sometimes several older children rushed out to watch a lively event, and left the youngest one at home, unattended, defecated and urinated everywhere, cried for a while, and no one paid attention to it. Tired of crying, he just fell asleep anywhere. Because the bald father missed several young children, he often went back to visit during the day, and sometimes he took the youngest one to the prison and stood by the fence to play with the prisoners.The bald man was related to the woman Liu Niang, who is called Liu Niang by everyone in this street, so the woman also had the opportunity to walk around the prison often. people do it.For example, when pawning or buying other food items, because a woman is a woman, she patiently negotiates the price and chooses the right goods carefully, so she can gain the trust and joy of the prison.She can also sew a little clothes, or fasten a flower with twine on a cloth towel, or tie a good knot on a belt, and get a means of life and a meaning of life from this prison.Sometimes among these prisoners, some of them were sentenced to be released or sentenced to death, but the belongings of the prisoners were often preserved and given to the bald man and the woman.If he didn't keep anything to say, he would naturally return to the prison management class.But the prison guards still often ask the women to take the good ones to the pawn shop for money, and give the bad ones to the woman as a reward. Because of the prevalence of smallpox in the local area, every family has patients. A child named Sirong who is learning to shave his head is usually as stubborn as a pony. The widow was busy serving her son, went to the public hospital to ask for medicine, went to the palace of the medicine king to ask God, and was busy with everything, so for a while, she never went to the garden. side to go. In just a few days, many children were cleaned up. When the woman saw the bald-headed Seventh Uncle, she walked over and called "Seventh Uncle". The bald-headed man looked at the woman and saw her expression, thinking that the child was dead.The bald man said: "Why, is the fourth child lost?" The woman said, "No. I heard people say that little five is little four,..." The bald man was a little flustered: "Come and sit at my house, and I will be with you. say something." The bald man lit a cigarette with the incense on the stall in front of the smoke shop, straightened the old felt hat on his scalp, and hurried forward and back.The woman couldn't say anything, and her heart was in a mess, so she followed the bald man.As he walked, the bald man thought to himself, two of them died and there were three more. Who said it wasn't the mother who pitied the children for living and suffering, and the father took care of them and tortured them, so they brought back two? The woman went to the bald man's house, talked for a while about everything about the illness, and put the silver bracelet and ring that the bald man had ordered Wansheng to pawn on his behalf.After finishing the work, I went to the prison to find the bald man, handed it to Qian Tong as a pawn, and bought some things for another prisoner. When I finished my work and returned home, it was almost night.At that time, Sirong was already asleep, so he put the two big oranges he bought from a stall with the money he had earned, and put them beside Sirong's bed, waiting for him to wake up, to see if he felt better.When Si Rong woke up, he told his mother that in the ditch behind, someone had found a small corpse by prying mud to hold back the water.I don't know who threw it into the river, so everyone yelled for a long time.The woman said, "Whoever it is, it's over after burying it." She told Si Rong, "I can buy two oranges, and I can eat them whenever I want." Si Rong ate an orange, but said, "Today I want to eat some pancakes, but I don’t know if I can eat them.” The woman thought, why can’t she eat it if she has acne? Later, when she heard someone playing a small gong in front of the door, the woman hurriedly took some money from under the patient's pillow, and went out to buy sliced ​​cakes and roasted potatoes for dinner.When he came back, he tossed his bag of food on the bed, smiled and tore off his two soaked shoes, ready to crawl on the bed for supper.Seeing his mother laughing, Si Rong didn't know why, so he asked his mother who she met when she went out.The woman said, "I don't touch anyone. I laughed at Zugui. During the day when digging ditches to drain water, he dug mud and scolded Mr. Zhang. At this time, the two of them were eating cakes and drinking at the stall, and they were fighting with Mr. Zhang for the bills, but they were both keeping accounts. " "They can keep accounts!" "When you have money in the future, you won't let it go, why can't you keep accounts?" "Is Zugui cured?" "What disease can defeat him? No one can defeat him. He lay on the bed for six days, drank a little water, and he was still cured." "He can spell. He looks like he can spell." "Where! He is a tough man! If a man is tough, who will he be afraid of?" "Master Zhang is also a good person. As soon as he saw me, he said he wanted to teach me how to read. I said I didn't want to be a master, so I should not read. He refused, thinking that I must know some characters. He asked me to worship As a teacher, if he says he knows how to read, there is nothing more honorable than that.” "It's good to know how to read and write. He helps people all day long. Zugui scolded him and kept saying that he would suffocate his head into the water and drown him until he fainted. He never got angry! This is an excellent person, Because people are so good, fate is so bad!" "They have one piece of paper and one weapon, if... they can assist the real man!" "Speak nonsense, you talk nonsense, your mouth will be cut!" "It's what my master said." "Your master talks so nonsense, whenever he will use his own razor to cut his own mouth." The mother and son ate and cut cakes, drank water, and talked about various things. Then the night came. After the night slowly and completely occupied every corner, everything disappeared. In the same place, in some other small houses, there must be the kind of people who can stuff a little wet wood into the small stove and set off fireworks for dinner. There was choking smoke.The occupants poured a bowl of fish offal or a handful of spicy peppers into the black pot by the light of the stove or another small oil lamp, and the acrid smell mixed with the smoke, and the occupants blew a sigh of relief. Sneezing and turning their faces to one side, after a while, according to the rules, they still stayed together as a family, standing or squatting on the wet ground, killing a day's dinner in the dark . In the early morning of the next day, Zugui of Qiangliang, together with Mr. Zhang, who never forgot that he was a sergeant in any season and on any occasion, took a blank piece of paper according to the method discussed by the two of them in the evening. , an inkstone, a pen, and check from house to house to see if water has soaked into the house.I also asked the owner of the house, explaining that there is no need to pay any money, just write a name, draw a sign, and send the petition letter to the district.Of course, everyone wants to do these things.Although we all understand that the district doesn't care much about these things, but after reporting it, it seems that there will be something to say in the future. When it comes to pushing representatives, apart from asking Zugui and Zhang Shiye to be civil and military, who would dare to come out alone. Usually, everything needs these two people. Now it is naturally ready-made, and there is no objection. It must be two people!But that man, regarding this matter, said that if a few women go with him, it will be smoother.He did not forget to add a joke to this matter, citing scriptures to prove that "the Detachment of Women is indispensable everywhere".Because of this matter and the wording in the report, he was almost scolded by Zugui for a hundred wild words, but he still insisted on this proposition.He thought that no matter how many women he wanted, the wording was "sincerely bestow on Shun's benevolence" in order to move others.Although Zugui scolded him and raised his fist to threaten him, he still followed his advice. Because of his enthusiasm, Zugui sometimes felt embarrassed to disobey him. When the two of them walked to the door of Sirong's house, Master Zhang shouted hoarsely: "Liu Niang, Liu Niang, are you at home?" The woman was sitting on the bed and contemplating something worth hundreds of dollars. When she saw the underground water, she was worried. When she heard the voice of an acquaintance, she said, "What are you doing at home?" So he said, "I'm sorry, my house is full of water!" Zugui said, "Just for the matter of water, write a name and go to the factory later." The woman knew that she wanted to fight for money to write the letter, and it was Zugui who came, so she couldn't refuse, so she asked, "Zugui, how much is the family sending?" "No money, come out, let's talk." The woman then came out and stood outside the door, holding on to the tattered skirt with her hands, and seeing Master Zhang's seriousness was amused.The sergeant said, "We are almost fishes. It is not acceptable for people to bully us like this! This is the Republic of China, and the five races are equal. This is not acceptable!" The woman often heard this man say these words, but she didn't quite understand what he meant, so she said wah wow, "That's right, the republic of the five clans, it can't be done like this!" "We're demanding our right to be human, we're going to speak to their prime minister." "Didn't you go to the district to talk about it yesterday?" This sergeant, who was embarrassed to talk about the various situations that he was threatened by the district chief when he went to talk to the district chief yesterday, he murmured as if complaining to others, saying that "everything is always reasonable. If you don't make sense, the country can't be cured." ". Zu Gui, who was standing in the muddy water in the middle of the road, saw that this man was talking empty words again, so he said, "What is governing the country and the world? Let's go there and ask them to think of a way. Reasonable, it will be fine. If you don't reason, Deal with it yourself!" The woman said: "If you want to go, we all go, I'm not afraid of them!" The sergeant said: "I want everyone to go, Liu Niang, you can be a representative." I don't know what it means to represent a woman. I only heard that it was a matter of going to the factory area for everyone's house.So I agreed right away.The two of them wrote down their names and made an appointment to go to Zugui's house for a while, and then they went to another house to talk. The petition group was composed of thirteen citizens, with Master Zhang and Zugui as leaders.Everyone gathered in a group and went through the police station first, stood in front of the police station, and asked the messenger to deliver the petition letter to go in.After waiting for a long time, there is still no news.After waiting for a long time, everyone was a little panicked. I don't know whether to go back or wait here.Zugui came up with an idea and asked the master to go in and have a look alone.The man, knowing that this was public opinion, tidied up his old cotton coat, murmured, and drew up what he had to say.The messenger was someone who knew him, and when he saw that he wanted to go in, he let him in. After going in for a while, the man came out with a beaming face.Because when he spoke alone yesterday, the district chief still said he would talk again, so he sent someone to arrest him, tie him up and feed him a mouthful of horse manure.Today happened to be a happy time for the district chief to get things done.When he came out, he had a letter from the district chief in his hand, and when he got outside, he read the letter from the district chief to everyone: "The deputies have learned what they have submitted, and everyone should go home. Don't be impatient, and wait for the investigation. This is the letter." At this time, everyone looked at each other, as if they had finished what they should have done, and they were all ready to leave. Another person said: "Everyone, slow down, we want Master Zhang to go in on behalf of us again, and ask them to send someone to follow us at this time." Let's go and see. We don't want anything else, just see our lodgings!" Zu Gui thought that if he wanted to take a look here, it would be better to send someone from the factory to take a look.It would be better to invite a patrolman to talk to us through the factory. The master didn't need to be urged by everyone, and immediately volunteered to go in. After a while, a policeman on duty came out talking with the master all the way.A group of people gathered around, the master grabbed Zugui aside, and said softly, "Go to the factory to talk first, and then look at ours." After a while, some people surrounded the patrolmen and went outside the gate of the ×× iron factory.The gatekeeper took the letter of wish and went in, and asked the three patrolmen who came with him, Mr. Zugui and Mr. Zhang, to sit in the gatehouse.But Zugui was unwilling, and still stood outside and waited with everyone.The Daping in this factory was full of stagnant water, like a lake with no outlet.After a while the gatekeeper came out, still holding the wish letter in his hand, and said, "The supervisor has read it and wants you to go back." Zugui said: "No, we can't go back like that. Please help us send it up again, we need to have a proper conversation!" Master Zhang said: "Our thirteen representatives want to see your supervisor!" The gatekeeper was a little embarrassed, so he said to the accompanying patrolman: "It can't be done! This is God's responsibility, look how deep the water in our ping is! " The inspector said: "God's responsibility, the water in our yard is so deep." The woman Liu Niang said: "Who said it was the fault of heaven? If you don't dig ditches here to release the water, the water will not flow through." The other woman said to herself, "If we put more water today, everything will be over for us!" The gatekeeper thought to himself, "You've lost everything? What did you have?" Zugui forced the gatekeepers to send in the petition again, asking them to reply, and the patrolman also helped them speak, but the gatekeeper had no choice but to go inside along the wall again.Not long after, I saw the gatekeeper, followed by a tall man in long clothes.This person looked like a middle-level clerk, and walked with a dignified manner. He held the wish letter that had just been delivered in his hand, with a very unhappy expression on his face, and slowly walked out with his head down.When I got to the door, I asked, "What do you want to talk about?" The style of speaking and the air when speaking made everyone a little scared. Seeing that no one answered, the man asked the gatekeeper if they wanted him to take in that vow.Zu Gui bit his lip, restrained his fiery temper, walked a little closer, stood next to the clerk, and said in a heavy voice: "Sir, we asked him to take this in." The man in long clothes took a look at Zugui, and said contemptuously, "What do you want?" Zugui said, "Are you the manager or the supervisor?" "I'm an inspector, just tell me what you want!" "We want to ask this side not to release any more water, the words are all on the post!" The man in the long coat re-read the content of the wish letter in his hand, and he refused to raise his head, just said: "13 representatives, good! But this is not our business, the company is not the water company! The weather is so bad, only the weather is to blame, only the weather is to blame!" "We just ask that there is no more water here!" "Water is a moving thing, it will flow by itself, that is impossible!" Master Zhang said: "Ditching was dug here yesterday, and water was poured in on purpose." The man got a little angry, "Why do you deliberately feed you. Could it be that if this happens, it will become a major matter of murder and murder?" The man caught sight of the patrolman, then sneered at the patrolman and said, "What is this? Murder for money is not a trivial matter, and your district will know about it! Inspector Yang came here the day before yesterday, and We supervised the drinking of Moutai, so we said..." Zugui frowned and cut off the man's words: "What's the matter! We didn't come here to let go, sir. We ask you to send someone here to take a look. There are plenty of people here , Just go and have a look, and you will understand what we mean. We invited this policeman, and it is not our business that Inspector Yang is not here. What we want is justice, nothing else!" "What is fairness! The factory didn't treat you unfairly!" “我们说,不能放水灌我们的房子,就只这一件事,很不公道。” “谁打量灌你们的房子?” “不是想不想,不是有意无意,你不要说那种看不起我们的刻薄话。我们都很穷,当然不是谋财害命。我们可不会诬赖人。你们自然不是谋财害命的人,可是不应该使我们在那点点小地方也站不住脚!” 代表中另一个就撅着嘴说:“我们缴了租钱,每月都缴,一个不能短少!” “你租钱缴给谁?” “缴给谁吗?……”那人因无话可说,嗫嚅着,望到祖贵。 那长衣人说:“这租钱又不是我姓某的得到,你们同区里说好了!” 祖贵十分厌烦的说:“喂,够了,这话请您驾不要说了。 我们不是来同您驾骂娘的,我们来请求你们不要再放水!你们若还愿意知道因为你们昨天掘沟放水出去,使我们那些猪狗窝儿所受的影响,你不妨派个人去看看,你们不高兴作这件事,以为十分麻烦,那一切拉倒。 " 那长衣人说:“这原不是我们的事,你们向区里说去,要区里救济好了。” “我们并不要你们救济,我们只要公道!” “什么公道不公道?你们去区里说吧。” 祖贵说:“您驾这样子,派人看看也不愿意了,是不是?” 那人因为祖贵的气势凌人,眼睛里估了一个数目,冷冷的说:“代表,你那么凶干吗?” “你说干吗,难道你要捉我不成?” “你是故意来捣乱的!” “怎么,捣乱,你说谁?”这强人十分生气,就想伸手去抓那个人的领子。那人知道自己不是当前一个的对手,便重复的说:“这是捣乱,这是捣乱,”一面赶忙退到水边去。大家用力拉着祖贵,只担心他同厂里人打起架来。 两人忽然吵起来了。因为祖贵声音很高,且想走拢去揍这个办事人一顿,里面听到吵骂,有人匆匆跑出来了。来的是一个胖子,背后还跟得有几个闲人,只问什么事什么事。先前那个人就快快的诉说着,张师爷也乱乱的分辩着。祖贵睨了这新跑出的人一眼,看看身分似乎比先来的人强,以为一定讲道理多了,就走近胖子,指到一群人说:“这是十三个代表,我们从小街派来的,有一点事到这里来。因为你们这边放水。我们房子全浸水了。我们来请你们这边派一个人同到这位巡士去看看,再请求这边莫再放水过去,这一点点事情罢了。我们不是来这里吵嘴的。” 那人只瞥了祖贵一眼,就把高个儿手中的愿书,拿到眼边看了一下,向原先吵嘴的人问:“就是这一点儿事吗?”那人回答说:“就是这事情。” 胖子装模作样的骂着那人:“这点点事情,也值得让这些乌七八糟的人到公司大门前来大吵大闹,成个什么规矩!” 张师爷说:“我们不是来吵闹,我们来讲道理!” 那胖子极不屑的望到卑琐的上士身上那件脏军衣,正要说“什么道理”这样一句话,祖贵一把拉开了上士,“我们要说明白,这里是一位见证,”说时他指到区里随来的一位巡警,“他见到我们一切行为,他亲眼看到!” 那胖子向祖贵说:“我听到你们!这里不是你们胡闹的地方!你们到区里说去!你只管禀告区里。”这人说了就叫站在身旁另一个人,要他取一个片子,跟这些人到区里去见区长。 一面回过头来问那个巡警:“杨巡官下班了没有?”显然的,是要这巡警知道站在面前同他说话的人,是同他们上司有交情,同时且带得有要那班代表听明白的意思。接着又告给先前那个高人,不要同他们再吵。 祖贵只是冷笑,等那胖子铺排完了,就说:“这是怎么? 你们这样对付我们,这就是你们的道理!上区里打官事,决定了没有? " 那胖子不理不睬,自己走进去了。大家都不知道怎么说好,互相对望着。 张师爷想走过去说话,祖贵把这上士领口拉着,朝门外一送,向大家扫了一眼:“走,妈的!咱们回去!什么都不要说了!不要公道!” 大家见到祖贵已走,都怯怯的,无可奈何的,跟到背后走了。 一出了大门,张师爷就嚷着,聊以自慰的神气说着各种气愤大话,要报仇,要烧房子,要这样那样。可是大家都知道这是他的脾气,绝对不会做出这种吓人的事情。到了小街时,女人中有人望到区里巡警,跟着在后面来的,就问祖贵,是不是要请巡警挨家去看看。祖贵把代表打发走了,同张师爷带了巡警各处去看看,一句话不说,看了一阵,那巡警就回区里回话去了。 请愿的事很明白是完全失败了。大家都耽搁了半天事情。 妇人回到家里,看看屋中的水,似乎又长多了一点。走到屋后去看看,屋后昨天大家合挖的那条沟,把水虽然挡住了,可是若果今天厂里再放水,就完全无用了。四容那时已睡着了。 本来今天预备买药,这时看看四容睡得很好,又打量不买药,留下钱来作别的用处。因为屋中水太多,作什么事都不方便,这妇人就想找个什么东西,把水舀去,再撒点灰土,一定打点。各处找寻的结果,得了一块旧镔铁皮,便蹲到门前把水舀着。做了半天,脚也蹲木了,还似乎不行。后来有人来到,站到门前告她,张师爷还想到区里去要求公道,祖贵要打他,两人现在正吵着。还说早上全是师爷出的主意,向那些人请什么愿,祖贵始终就不大赞同,只说大家齐心来挖一条大沟到城边去,水就不会再过来了。……妇人因为四容的病好象很有了一点儿转机,夜间她就仍然打量到所得的那五毛钱,是不是必须要照到医生所说的话,拿去买药。又想天气快冷了,四容病一好,同师傅上街做生意,身上也得穿厚一点。同时记起日里同祖贵他们到厂里吵架情形,总迷迷糊糊睡得不大好,做了一些怪梦,梦到许多对待穷人不合理的希奇事情,且似乎同谁吵了半天,赌了许多咒,总永远分解不清楚。 不知如何,妇人忽他惊醒了,就听到有人在屋后水荡边乱嚷乱叫。起先当是水涨大了,什么人家小屋被水浸透弄坍了,心里忡忡的,以为无论在什么时候,自己头上这一块房顶,也一定会猛然坍下来,把自己同四容压在下面。这时悄悄的伸手去捏四容的脚,四容恰恰也醒了,问到他妈,是谁在喊叫。只听到门前有人踹水跑过去,哗哗的响着。随后又是两个人踹水跑过去。于是听到远处声音很乱,且夹杂有狗叫,有别的声音,正似乎出了什么大事一样。妇人心里想:难道涨大水了吗?又想,莫非是什么人家失了火吧?爬起一看,屋角都为另一种光映照得亮堂堂的,可不正是失火!这时别一个人家也有人起身了,且有人在门前说话。妇人慌慌张张,披了衣服,顾不到屋中的水,赤了脚去开门,同那些正在说话的人搭话,问是什么地方。 那时天已经发白了,起来的人多了。许多人都向厂里那方面街上跑去。只听人说失了火失了火,各人都糊里糊涂,不知道究竟在什么地方,什么人家。只见天的一边发着红光,仿佛平常日头出来的气派,看来很近,其实还隔得很远。大家都估计着,无论如何也是在后街那一方面。天空大堆大堆的火焰向上卷去,那时正有一点儿风,风卷着火,摧拉着,毁灭着,夹杂着一切声音。妇人毫无目的也跟着别的人向起火的那方面走去,想明白究竟。路上只听到有向回头走的人,说是花园起了火。又说所有的犯人都逃走了。又说衙门的守备队,把后街每一条街口都守着了,不让一个人过去,过去就杀,已有四个人被杀掉了。 妇人一面走一面心里划算,这可糟了,七叔一家莫会完全烧死了!她心里十分着急,因为在花园那一方面,他还放的有些小债,这些债是预备四容讨媳妇用的。狱里起了火,人都烧死了,这些帐目自然也全完了。 再走过去一点,跑回来的人都说,不能过去了,那边路口已有人把守,谁也不能通过,争着过去说不定就开枪。因此许多怀了好奇心同怀了其他希望的闲人,都扫了兴。有些在先很高兴走出门的,这时记起自己门还未关好,妇人们记起家中出痘疹的儿子,上年纪的想起了自己的腰脊骨风痛,络绎走来,又陆续的回去了。虽然听到说不能通过仍然想走到尽头看看的,还有不少人。妇人同这些人就涌近去花园不远的花园前街弄口,挤过许多人前面去,才看到守备队把枪都上了刺刀,横撇着在手上,不许人冲过去。街上只见许多人搬着东西奔走,许多挑水的人匆匆忙忙的跑。但因为地方较近,街又转了弯,反而不明白火在什么地方了。 不知是谁,找得了道士做法事用的铜锣,胡乱的在街上敲着,一直向守备队方面冲过来,向小街奔去,一面走一面尽喊,“挑水去,挑水去,一百钱担,一百钱担!”听到这话,许多人知道发财的时候快到了,都忙着跑回去找水桶,大家拥挤着,践踏着,且同时追随到这打锣人身后跑着吼着,纷乱得不能想象。 妇人仍然站到墙下看这些人。看了一会儿,见有人挑水来,守备兵让他过去了。她心里挂着七叔家几个小孩子,不知火烧出街了有多远,前街房子是不是也着了火,就昏昏的也跟挑水的人跑,打量胡混过去。兵士见了却不让她过去,到后大声的嚷着,且用手比着,因为看她是女人,终于得到许可挤过去了。进了前街,才知道火就正是在七叔住处附近燃着,救火人挑了水随便乱倒,泼得满街是水,有些人心里吓慌了,抱了一块木板或一张椅子乱窜。有些人火头还离他家很远,就拿了杠子乱戳屋檐。她慢慢的走拢去了一点,想逼近那边去,一个男子见到了,嘶声的喊着,拉着她往回头路上跑去。也不让她说话,不管她要做些什么事,糊糊涂涂被拉到街口,那为大火所惊吓而发癎的男子却走了。 她仍然是糊糊涂涂,挤出了那条小街。这时离开了火场已很远了,看到有许多妇人守着一点点从烟中火中抢出的行李,坐在街沿恣意的哭泣。看到许多人在搬移东西。一切都毫无秩序,一切都乱七八糟。天已渐渐大明了,且听到有人说火不是从花园起的,狱中现时还不曾着火,烧的全是花园前街的房子。另外又听到兵士也说狱中没有失火,火离狱中还远。她这时似乎才觉得自己是赤着两只脚。忽然想起在此无益,四容在家中会急坏了,就跑回小街屋里去。 四容因为他母亲跑出去了半天,只听到外面人嚷失火,想下地出外看看,地下又全是水,正在十分着急,妇人回来了,天也大亮了。母子两人皆念着七叔一窝小孩,不知是不是全烧死了,还是只留下老的一个。过一会有人从门外过身,一路骂着笑着,声音很象祖贵,妇人就隔了门忙喊祖贵。跑出去看,就正看到那强徒。头上包了一块帕头,全身湿漉漉灰甫甫的,脸上也全是烟子,失去了原来的人形。耳边还有一线血,沿脸颊一直流下。一望而知,这个人是才从失火那边救火回来的。 妇人说:“祖贵你伤了!” 那男子就笑着,“什么伤了病了,你们女人就是这样的,出不了一点儿事。” “烧了多少呢?还在烧吗?” “不要紧,不再会烧了。” “我想打听一下,管监里送饭的秃头七叔家里怎么了?” “完了,从宋家烟馆起,一直到边街第四弄财神庙,全完事了。” “哎哟,要命!”妇人低声的嚷着,也不再听结果,一返身回到自己屋里,就在水中套上那两只破鞋,嘱咐了四容不许下床,就出门向失火前街跑去。祖贵本来已走过去,快要进他自己屋子,见妇人出来,知道她一定是去找熟人了,就喊叫妇人,告给她,要找谁,可以到岳庙去,许多人逃出来都坐在岳庙两廊下。 到了岳庙门前,一个人从人丛中挤出拉着她膀子,原来正是秃头七叔。秃头带她过去一点,看到几个孩子都躺在一堆棉絮上发痴,较小的一个已因为过分疲倦睡着了。 妇人安心了。“哎哟,天保佑,我以为你们烧成炭了。” 那秃头乱了半天,把一点铺陈行李同几个孩子从烟里抱出来,自己一切东西都烧掉了,还发癎似的极力帮助别人抢救物件,照料到那些逃难的女人小孩。天明后,火势已塌下去了,他还不知道,尽来去嚷着,要看热闹的帮忙,尽管喊水,自己又拿了长长的叉子,打别人的屋瓦,且逼到火边去,走到很危险的墙下去,扒那些悬在半空燃着的椽皮。到后经人拉着他,问到他几个孩子是不是救出来了,他才象是憬然明白他所有全烧光了,方赶忙跑回岳庙去看孩子。这时见到妇人关心的神气,反而笑了。秃头说:“真是天保佑,都还是活的。可是我屯的那点米,同那些……”这时旁边一堆絮里一个妇人,忽然幽幽的哭起来了,原来手上抱着的孩子,刚出痘疹免浆,因骤然火起一吓,跑出来又为风一吹,孩子这时抱在手中断气了。许多原来哭了多久的,因惊吓而发了痴的,为这一哭都给楞着了。大家都呆呆望着这妇人,俨然忘了自己的一身所遭遇的不幸。 妇人认得她是花园前街铜匠的女人,因走过去看看,怯怯的摸了一下那搁在铜匠妇人手上的孩子:“周氏,一切是命,算了,你铜匠?” 另外一个人就替铜匠妇人说:“铜匠过江口好些日子了,后天才会回来。” 又是另外一个人却争着说:“铜匠昨天回来了,现在还忙着挑水,帮别人救房子。” 又一个说:“浇一百石水也是空的,全烧掉了!”这人一面说,一面想起自己失掉了的六岁女儿,呱的就哭了,站起来就跑出去了。另外的人都望到这妇人后身摇着头,(重新记起自己的遭遇),叹息着,诅咒着,埋怨着。 旋即有一个男子,从岳庙门前匆匆跑过去,有一女人见到了,认得是那个铜匠,就锐声喊着“铜匠师傅”,那男人就进来了。那年青男子头上似乎受了点伤,用布扎着,布也浸湿了。铜匠妇人见了丈夫,把死去了的小孩交给他,象小孩子一样纵横的流泪,铜匠见了,生气似的皱着眉头,“死了就算事,你哭什么?”妇人象是深怕铜匠会把小孩掷去,忙又把尸身抢过来,坐到一破絮上,低下头兀自流泪。 那时有人看到这样子,送了一些纸钱过来,为在面前燃着。 铜匠把地下当路的一个破碗捡拾了一下,又想走去,旁边就有一个妇人说:“铜匠,你哄哄周氏,要她莫哭。你得讨一副匣子,把小东西装好才是事!” 四容的妈忙自告奋勇说:“我帮你去讨匣子,我这就去。” 说着,又走到秃头七叔几个小孩子身旁,在那肮脏小脸上,很亲切的各拍了一下,就匆匆的走了。 到善堂时无一个人,管事的还不曾来,守门的又看热闹去了,就坐在大门前那张长凳上等候。等了多久,守门的回来了,说一定得管事的打条子,过东兴厚厂子里去领,因为这边已经没有顶小的了。说是就拿一口稍微大一点的也行,但看门的作不了主,仍然一定得等管事先生来。 一会儿,另外又来了两个男子,也似乎才从火场跑来领棺材的,妇人认识其中一个,就问那人“是谁家的孩子”。那人说:“不是一个小孩子,是一个大人大孩子,——小街上的张师爷!” 妇人听着吓了一跳:“怎么,是张师爷吗?我前天晚上还看到他同祖贵喝酒,昨天还同祖贵在厂里说话,回来几乎骂了半夜,怎么会死了?” “你昨天看到,我今天还看到!他救人,救小孩子,救鸡救猫,自己什么都没有,见火起了,手忙脚乱帮到别人助热闹,跑来跑去同疯狗一样。告他不要白跑了,一面骂人一面还指挥!告他不要太勇敢了,就骂人无用。可是不久一砖头就打闷了,抬回去一会儿,喔,完事了。” 那守门的说:“那是因为烟馆失火,他不忘恩义,重友谊!” 妇人正要说“天不应当把他弄死”,看到祖贵也匆匆的跑来了,这人一来就问管事的来了没有,守门的告他还没来。他望到妇人,问妇人见不见到秃头,妇人问他来做什么,才晓得他也是来为张师爷要棺木的。 妇人说:“怎么张师爷这样一个好人,会死得这样快?” 那强硬的人说:“怎么这样一个人不死的这样快?” 妇人说:“天不应当——” 那强硬的人扁了一下嘴唇,“天不应当的多着咧。”因为提到这些,心里有点暴躁,随又向守门人说:“大爷,你去请管事的快来才好!还有你们这里那个瘦个儿,不是住在这里吗?” 那守门的不即作答,先来的两个人中一个就说:“祖贵,你回去看看吧,区长派人来验看,你会说话点,要回话!我们就在这儿等候吧。” “区长派人来看,管他妈的。若是区长自己来看,张师爷他会爬起来,笑咪咪的告他的伤处,因为他们要好,死了也会重生!若是派人来,让他看去,他们不会疑心我们谋财害命!” 这人虽然那么说着,可是仍然先走了。妇人心想,“这人十砖头也打不死,”想着不由得不苦笑。 又等了许久,善堂管事的才来了,一面进来,一面拍着肚子同一个生意人说到这一场大火的事情,在那一边他就听到打死一个姓张的事情了,所以一见有人在此等候,说是为那死人领棺木,就要守门的去后殿看,一面开他那厢房的办事处的门,一面问来领棺木的人,死人叫什么名字,多大年岁,住什么地方。其中一个就说:“名字叫张师爷。” 想不到那管事的就姓章,所以很不平的问着:“怎么,谁是什么张师爷李师爷?” 那人就说:“大家都叫他作张师爷。” 管事的于是当真生气了,“这里的棺材就没有为什么师爷预备的,一片手掌大的板子也没有!你同保甲去说吧。我们这里不办师爷的差,这是为贫穷人做善事的机关!” 这管事因为生气了,到后还说:“你要他自己来吧,我要见见这师爷!” 那陪同善堂管事来的商人,明白是“师爷”两个字,触犯了活的师爷的忌讳了,就从旁打圆场说:“不是那么说,他们一定弄不明白。大家因为常常要这个人写点信,做点笔墨事情,所以都师爷师爷的叫他。您就写张三领棺材一口得了,写李四也行,这人活时是一个又随便又洒脱的人,死了也应是一个和气的鬼,不会在死后不承认用一个张三名义领一副匣子的!” 管事经此一说,就什么话也不能说了,只好翻开簿子,打开墨盒,从他那一排三支的笔架上,抓了他那小绿颖花杆尖笔记帐。到后就轮到四容的妈来了,一问到这妇人,死的是一岁的孩子,那管事就偏过头去,很为难似的把头左右摆着,说这边剩下几副棺材,全不是为这种小孩预备的。又自言自语的说,小孩子顶好还是到什么地方去找一提篮,提出去,又轻松,又方便。妇人听到这管事代出主意,又求了一阵,仍然说一时没有小棺材。心中苦辣辣的,不敢再说什么,只好走回岳庙去报告这件事情。 到了岳庙,铜匠妇人已不哭了,两夫妇已把小孩尸身收拾停妥了,只等候到棺木,听妇人说善堂不肯作这好事,铜匠就说:“不要了,等会儿抱去埋了就完了。”可是他那女人听到这话,正吃到米粉,就又哭了。 妇人见秃头已无住处了,本想要几个孩子到她家去,又恐怕四容的病害了人家的孩子,不好启齿,就只问秃头七叔,预备就在这庙里还是过别处去。秃头七叔说等一会要到花园去看,那边看守所有间房子,所长许他搬,他就搬过去,不许搬,就住到这廊下,大家人多也很热闹。妇人因为一面还挂到家中四容,就回去了。到了家里,想起死了的张师爷,活时人很好,就走过去看看。他那尸身区里人已来验看过了,熟人已把他抬进棺木去了。所谓棺木,就是四块毛板拼了两头的一个长匣子,因为这匣子短了一点,只好把这英雄的腿膝略略曲着。旁边站了一些人,都悄悄静静的不说话。那时祖贵正在那里用钉锤敲打四角,从那个空罅,还看到这个上士的一角破旧军服。这棺木是露天摆在那水荡边的,前面不知谁焚了一小堆纸钱,还有火在那里燃着。棺木头上摆了一个缺碗,里面照规矩装上一个煎鸡子,一点水饭。当祖贵把棺木四隅钉好,抬起头来时,望到大家却可怜的笑着。她站在当中,把另
