Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Big Brother's Props

For the convenience of narration, I must first skip over how Wandefu accidentally discovered that Wanxi was involved in the murder case during the process of searching for the six old men all day and night; and explain clearly the clues of my big brother. For the elders of the Cao gang around the 50th year of the Republic of China, no matter the two names Zhang Shifang or Zhang Hanqing are just one of the tens of thousands of gang members under their hands.But for my elder brother: the role of being a helper is very unusual-unlike my father, it means that in the chaotic life, he once used the sign of a bachelor to make his ordinary life go more smoothly, that is, it means a little more ordinary .

On the morning when my father went to participate in the lottery of the village's new Chung Keng worship (it may have been in the 58th or early 59th of the Republic of China), the big brother told me that this little brother who was only twelve or thirteen years old should not know of many things. Big Brother first explained to me for a long time: the Cao Gang is not an organization of bad guys who rob houses, kill people and set fires, and even all gangs should not be established for the purpose of robbing houses, killing people and setting fires.But like any organization, there will always be some bad guys; and when there are more bad guys, bad things start to happen, and the gang's reputation is tarnished.He went on to explain to me: It was not unreasonable for my uncle—that is, my father—to spend a lot of money persuading him to quit the gang and join the gang;To put it bluntly: even if he has seen the restless and unsettled side of the gang, he is tired and afraid, or he doesn't like to help out in danger because of his wife and children, and he always feels hateful when he looks at his original brothers and partners. "It's not a matter of who is wrong to anyone, it means who has a certain idea." Big Brother said.

Then, he told me: the seniors in the gang often told anecdotes, and it was only later that he gradually learned about the origin of the Cao Gang.It is said that during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a servant of the household department, surnamed Luo Mingqing, who was from Gansu.This Luo Shilang later resigned from office, converted to Buddhism, and enshrined a Zen master Bifeng as his teacher.Zen master Bifeng gave him a dharma title, Jingqing.Since then, there has been a sect of Luojiao, or Qingmen, in Buddhism.When it spread to Jiangsu, it was called Mahayana Teaching and Inaction Teaching.When it spread to Jiangxi, it was called Sanchengjiao and Dachengjiao.In short, it is the basis of Buddhism, and some Taoist rituals and principles have been mixed in. The four classics have been handed down in one volume, which are called the Jingxin Sutra, the Hard Work Sutra, the Quying Sutra, the Breaking Evil Sutra, and the Taishan Gujuan.Some believers in the Xinluo religion are vegetarians and chant sutras, some are vegetarians and do not chant sutras, some do chant sutras without being vegetarians, and some are both vegetarians and non-vegetarians.In the Kangxi period of the former Qing Dynasty, the water transport laborers in Qingjiang organized a grain and rice gang.Minding, a boatman in Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu and other places, also followed suit.Among them are sailors, helmsmen, coolies carrying rice, and teachers who pull fiber.It is nothing more than a very poor family background; there is neither permanent property nor habitual skills, so I can only sell my rough strength and live a wandering life from south to north with the boat.Since such people form a gang, they naturally want to create a mythical history for the gang to attract more people; so they fell in love with Luojiao, a sect that is both Buddhist and Taoist, and neither monk nor vulgar.Since then, the Grain and Rice Gang has both the nature of a professional trade union and a religious organization.

However, according to my elder brother's narration, he would rather believe that the third nature of the Cao Gang's origin period is the most important.In the Qing Dynasty, Cao Grain was levied by Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei every year, and transported to various warehouses in Tongzhou, Beijing, to supply the food and salary of the royal family, civil and military officials, and soldiers of the Eight Banners.The number of ships entering Beijing from the eight provinces via the Caohe Canal is about 6,000 to 7,000 ships each year.Each ship is led by a sergeant of the guard, and his title is Banner Ding, which is like the captain of the ship.Banner Ding is then responsible for recruiting required sailors, helmsmen, trackers, bearers, etc.The total number of these manpower ranges from 70,000 to 80,000 to more than 100,000.It takes about eight or nine months for hundreds of thousands of people to travel back and forth each year.But in addition to being allowed to carry a limited amount of tax-free local products to sell along the way and earn a little profit, each person's "working silver" - that is, the official salary - is pitifully small, no more than one, two, two to three , Between four taels of silver.Even if there was an increase during the Daoguang period, the annual "work silver" of most workers was only around ten taels of silver;The reason why these vagrants combined quickly was actually an economic motive—they could pool the capital of many people to engage in small-scale property purchases for profit.In the words of my elder brother, it is: "It's like Aunt Xi Biaohui. One person is playing small money, and a hundred people are playing big money. One person in the Liangmi Gang is a bachelor, and one hundred thousand people is an uncle."

The grain is transported to Beijing, and the food and lodging of the people are naturally on board.But for the remaining three or four months, how should these poor coolies from various provinces live?At first, most of them lived on the streets of Hong Kong, and many died of hunger and cold.Later, three Luo followers emerged, namely Qian Jian from Wujin, Jiangsu, Weng Yan from Changshu, and Pan Qing from Hangzhou.These three people gathered a group of Luo religion believers at Gongchen Bridge outside Xinguan, Beixinguan, Hangzhou, and spent money to build a small nunnery.The nunnery enshrines Buddha statues and the body sculpting of Master Luo Zu Jingqing; in addition to people coming to offer incense and worship, during the three or four months when the water boat returns to empty, simple meals and vegetables and quilts are also provided to let people in the water gang Board and lodging for each person.This facility has brought enlightenment to many helmsmen and sailors: they can also do the same, build nunneries at different water and land piers, worship Buddha statues, collect incense money on weekdays, and provide board and lodging for members of the gang when they return home.As for the members of the gang, they only need to pay a meager amount of support and hire one or two people who will take care of the nunnery for a long time.Then, not only will the gang take care of each other when the tank boat returns to empty, but even if they die, they can find an empty place near the nunnery to bury them, so as not to leave the corpse in the wilderness and become a lonely ghost.My elder brother then made a strange comparison: "This is like saying: Uncle and aunt left their hometown, joined the army, and followed the army to Taiwan. It is better to live alone than to live together. This is like Caoheliang back then. Just like the men in the gang, you can be regarded as a member of the religious group. After joining the religious group, the relatives need to help each other. Although the hardship is a bit bitter, the relatives are the relatives after all; we all eat together when we are in trouble, and we all work together when we are in trouble. You are like Say stop, live in this dependent village; you can compare it to eating, eat this dependent food. Broken tiles and mud walls, simple tea and light food, this is no different from the nunnery in our gang before, but the big guy is still as happy. So you understand Is it?"

"There will be a group worship during the Chinese New Year, and after the group worship, there will be a lottery." I continued. "That's right! Isn't this very happy?" The eldest brother smiled and said, "You should understand the meaning." "Is the village head the boss?" I asked, thinking: My father is the head of the neighborhood. The neighbor leader must at least be considered the second child in the gang. "It can't be calculated! That's a thousand miles away, it's too far away." The eldest brother shook his hand and head quickly, and said: "In comparison, the village chief is just the head of a small nunnery. There is also the chief hall master, above the chief hall master there is the banner master, above the chief hall master there is the chief banner master, above the chief flag master there is the rudder master, above the rudder master there are respecting teachers, Dharma protectors, righteous ways, and above that is the chief The rudder master, that is, the guild leader—but generally not called the chief rudder master or the gang leader, but the old man if you want to be called."

"Then do you count as an old man?" "I'm a fart." "Then what is my father?" "Uncle used to be a member of the "Li" generation when he was helping. Under the "Li" generation was the "Da" generation; so even if the uncle is no longer helping, he named you Dachun. Forget your origins. It’s just that uncle doesn’t like things like being in gangs; don’t tell uncle what I’m telling you. Do you understand?” "Then what generation are you from?" "Me? I'm from the word "Wu". I'm still under my uncle!"

"Then you're still under me!" "I can't say that." The eldest brother suddenly put on a serious face, and said seriously: "Little brother, you didn't go to the incense to learn from the teacher, it's a loophole; you can't talk about being a bachelor!" Then Big Brother told me: He wouldn't have told me these things if it wasn't for the dual relationship of teaching relatives and relatives.Even if you just tell me, this is a violation of the fifth commandment of the Ten Precepts in the former Qing Dynasty - "abstinence from picking up ashes" - which is considered a serious crime.Only then did I realize that my father has always been tight-lipped about gang affairs, probably because he refused to violate the Fifth Commandment lightly.

"But you yourself said that I was empty, not considered a bachelor, so why did you say that I was a godfather?" Then Big Brother looked even more uncomfortable.He took out a pack of New Paradise from his coat pocket, stretched out two fingers of his other hand, and tapped lightly on the opening of the cigarette box. Once the short two cigarettes are pressed, one remains—this action (I didn’t know until many years later) is just one of the gestures for bachelors who are wandering and traveling around to recognize each other; Big Brother lights a cigarette, After taking a few deep breaths, he sighed and said: "Our Zhang family has five generations, only uncle and I are bachelors. Uncle good shoes don't step on stinky shit, stay away from gossip, don't ask martial arts grievances. But I'm different ;I, I, I am a mess in the old Cao Gang—I was born as a man of Anqing, and died as a ghost of Anqing. It is a pity that no one in our Zhang family understands the details of Anqing. If I, Zhang Shifang, one day If you are dead, how can you still have the face to meet your ancestors? So brother! Let me tell you this, when you kowtow to your ancestors and grandparents, think about what I said, and your ancestors and grandparents will understand—— —”

"You did it yourself, why do you think about it when you're not doing it yourself?" "As soon as I kneel, my uncle will help me. As soon as he helps me, it will be too late to report to my ancestors!" The eldest brother said, taking out a small cloth bag from his pocket, looking out at my father and the others with sideways eyes. Didn't he come back, while loosening the tie rope at the mouth of the cloth bag, poured the contents into the palm of his hand; it was a ring, a seal stone, a bracelet, an ancient coin with a square hole, a hairpin, A pocket watch and a tube of pens.The eldest brother dialed, counted, and said: "Little brother, if you are willing to help the eldest brother, every New Year's day when uncle asks you to kowtow, you will report to the ancestors and grandparents on behalf of the eldest brother. Say it twice if you can't finish it once, and say it three times if you can't finish it twice; at least there is one time to make it clear. These things are just a little gift from Big Brother thank you. What do you think?"

"What are these for?" "Small props all have their origins." The big brother said, pulled me to squat down, and said: "This bracelet was used by our director Li Li when he was filming "Cousin Wanjun". Tang Baoyun is going to marry Jiang Ming I wore this ring when I was young; but Jiang Ming let her out to his younger brother, but he didn't get married. This ring was worn by Zhen Zhen when she was filming "The Bride and Me" in the first year. The seal stone is Song Cunshou Song The director filmed "At Daybreak" on the display of the county magistrate's case. What about the ancient coins—it's amazing! This is a real antique, have you seen it: Qian, Long, Tong, Bao, ah! This is also used in "At Daybreak". It’s on. And this hairpin, it’s also from director Li Li’s filming just now. These pocket watches and pens! Let’s think about it... um! I forgot if it was used by director Bai Jingruibai when he was filming.” I don't think the pocket watch is going away, the fountain pen can't write water, the ancient coins are covered with verdigris, and the bracelet still has cracks, which are all tattered.I thought: It would be more fun to give me a steel knife or a pistol.When I was wondering whether to take it or not, the eldest brother seemed to see through my thoughts and said, "Don't think these little things are inconspicuous, but they all have a lot to do with the affairs of our gang!" The eldest brother picked up the ring first, and said: "Zhen Zhen didn't like to wear this ring at first, because she thought it was too big; she said that country women only wear such vulgar things. But she must wear it, because "The Bride and I" On the first day, during the first performance, someone must have seen the ring, it was agreed, and there is a spell-breaking hidden in it." It turned out that at that time the Cao Gang had a business to smuggle pistols out of the market from the Fourth Fourth Armory Factory of the Army.The buyer put down his words: the number of guns is in units of ten, at least twenty, the more the better.However, the quantity that the military is sure to be able to deliver has yet to be finalized.At that time, the security headquarters received a tip-off that there were bandits and spies in the middle, planning to sabotage the arsenal, causing turmoil and chaos.The middleman who lived in this arms deal - also a big boss of the Cao Gang - had to come up with an idea: In order to avoid any form of public communication from being caught by the police chief, he simply agreed: the premiere of "The Bride and Me" The content is about, to indicate the number of guns that the arsenal can supply.Buyers go to the Chinese theater to watch a movie according to the agreement, and then they can know the number of guns handed over at the end, and thus know the number of remittances.As for the method of splitting characters, Big Brother said: Outsiders don’t understand it; insiders not only understand it, but also can’t forget it. The leading actor in "The Bride and Me" is Wang Rong.When the Wang character is split, it becomes twenty, and when the Rong character is split, it becomes a cross and a Ge character. Twenty plus ten makes thirty; the combination of thirty and Ge means thirty guns.As for the ring, take the word "Jie".The precept is twenty gagos, that is, twenty guns.If the ring does not appear on the screen, the buyer knows that the deal is only thirty guns, but once the ring is revealed, thirty plus twenty makes at least fifty.The one exposure is fifty, the two exposures are seventy, and the three times are ninety; adding up these layers, the pistol business is considered a fixed quota, and neither party can have any objections.The job to be done in the Cao Gang is difficult or easy - they have to figure out that the arsenal can produce dozens of guns, and then inform the director through the gang system, and ask him to arrange a close-up of the ring in the film picture.That time, there was a paper leak unexpectedly.The arsenal originally agreed to ship 70 pieces, in other words: the ring appeared twice in the film.Unexpectedly, the factory suddenly told the gangsters: "There can be 80 more." This is a deal that is not done for nothing.However, the director has finished editing the film, and the copy has been printed out, so it can no longer be modified.Obviously, if you want to communicate with the buyer, you have to find another way.However, the buyer's whereabouts are erratic, and things are treacherous; even if they are contacted by post and telecommunications, it is easy to fall into the police chief.In the end, I helped the elders to come up with a flexible solution: send someone to the screening room of the Chinese Grand Theater, and order the younger brother to stop the film when the ring appears. It was a successful delivery, and both the buyer and the seller were very satisfied. There is also the bracelet in "Cousin Wanjun".It was a movie from the 53rd year of the Republic of China.The bracelet only swayed on the screen, but it was like giving a kill order to a killer in the gang.I didn't understand the meaning of it until I read "Historical Records: The Benji of Han Gaozu" when I was studying in the Chinese Department of the university six or seven years later-Xiang Yu set up a grand banquet and agreed to throw a cup as a sign to cull Liu Bang .Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu has the benevolence of a woman, so he was unable to give the order as promised.Fan Zeng, who was anxious on the sidelines, had no choice but to repeatedly warn him with the jue-jue, Jue.The bracelet in "Cousin Wanjun" refers to Jue—of course it means execution.The crack in the bracelet I'm looking at isn't a crack, it really has a very thin chip. "Then director Li Xing is also a member of your Cao Gang?" "No! He is taught by the Emperor of Heaven. Director Li's respected Weng Yujie is a master of the Emperor of Heaven, and has nothing to do with our Cao Gang." The meaning of the big brother is: the person wearing that bracelet—that is, the Jue—is naturally Cao Cao. Gang bachelors, through the public performance of the movie, are sending instructions to kill to a specific person.And the actor who was used to instigate the murder himself did not know; but this person was actually Tang Baoyun, who I had been obsessed with since I was a child and wanted to marry back home as a wife--in fact, if it wasn't for Sun Xiaowu who looked exactly like Tang Baoyun, it would be hard to say that I Would you be interested in taking her to the Botanical Garden to touch her a few times? "No way!" I exclaimed.Big Brother covered my mouth with his palm and looked around.What are you looking at?There was nothing in the small courtyard, except for a few pots of flowers and plants and a disused briquette stove; the eldest brother forcefully opened the stove door, searched inside, and said, "Have you ever heard the saying that walls have ears?" Then he told me in a low voice: On the first day of the first performance of "Cousin Wanjun", a person died in a box on the second floor of a theater in Songshan. How did the person die?After the show ended, the female worker who cleared the venue found his brother sitting with his head bowed, as if he had fallen asleep, and he couldn't wake up when he shook it. After a closer look, the female worker's hands were covered with greasy, sticky and wet blood—— ——The man on the seat taught me to use a four-inch-long steel nail to penetrate through the back of the chair and go straight to the heart to die. Using the palm of your finger as a hammer, he chiseled the nail into the chair; thinking that the blow would only happen in an instant. Big Brother then told me: The seal stones and ancient coins in "Dawn" involve even greater grievances.The heroine of this movie, Wu Xiufang, is an actress who fled from the mainland to Hong Kong and then went to Taiwan to develop.However, the relevant units have always suspected that this woman has a major mission, and she is likely to be a member of the Communist Party's literary and art propaganda team—or at least instigated by this propaganda team, to lurk in Taiwan's film circles, secretly engage in division, sabotage, and even Carry out activities of infiltrating and subverting government authorities.But this Wu Xiufang has a pure background, and she is also delicate and simple, so there is nothing special to blame.However, the intelligence personnel still refused to let go. They sent officers to monitor and control the incident from time to time, and special personnel filtered postal and telecommunications communications. This disturbed the film company, director, and Wu Nu herself in panic all day long. It can be described as unbearable. This matter was learned by the bachelor of the third hall outside the Cao Gang, and the deacons of the inner three halls finally found out.Here we have to first talk about what are the outer three halls, inner three halls, and even three generations and nine halls.According to my big brother's explanation: the hall comes from the nunnery.The place where the old Caobang members live is indeed called a nunnery.But later, the word "an" was changed to "an", and "anqing" became "anqing"; "tang" no longer refers to the place of residence, but has become an organizational unit.All in all, "A small power unit is called a church. If this church develops and recruits more people, it can branch out and become the main hall. The main hall cannot be upgraded directly. It must have an old man The official name is "Decree". The old man can promote the status of a certain head hall according to the overall development needs of the gang, which is called "Liqi". There is no fixed number of how many head halls under one banner. The Cao Gang borrowed the "banner" system from the Tiandihui. The more conservative people in the old Cao Gang did not quite agree with it. However, the banner owner and below are called "outer three halls", and the general banner owner and above are called "inside three halls". Three halls". Between the old man and the head of the banner, there are establishments to maintain the legal system and supervision within the gang, that is, the Hall of Respecting Teachers in charge of etiquette, the Hall of Protecting Laws in charge of punishment, and the Hall of Zhengdao in charge of ideological education. Respecting the teacher, protecting the Dharma, and the righteous way are all nine halls. As for the three generations, it is just a false name. Generally, the bachelor is the center, with teachers at the top and apprentices at the bottom, which are the three generations. When Wu Xiufang's incident happened, Mr. Wan had passed away, otherwise, the old Cao gang would never have interfered in such a trivial matter. It is said that at that time, there was a general banner owner in the "Neisantang", who was in the fire extinguisher business, his surname was Hong and his name was Zizhan, and he was the head of the Gelaohui, a branch of the Tiandihui in Zhejiang.The leader can no longer be named, but it is known that he brought a thing called "sea bottom" - that is, the constitution of the organization - from Fujian to the north, first contacted the monks of the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan, and then found out He signed the Bailian believers in Caozhou, Shandong, and made an alliance to "teach in the north and teach in the south, and share the same spirit", and used the ready-made "undersea" as a basis for mutual recognition and even cooperation.In terms of the interconnectedness of the civil society, this leader surnamed Hong can be said to be an immortal figure.So after he was registered in Zhejiang, his title and status had become hereditary, and anyone who was willing to mix things up with his children and grandchildren could be the leader of one party.When Hong Zizhan's mother crossed the sea and came to Taiwan, she was nine months pregnant and had a big belly.One day, he was standing on the side of the boat and looking into the distance, when the water broke suddenly, and he gave birth to a son on the deck, so he named it Zizhan; he used the poem "Looking far away, weeping like rain" to mean that he traveled to his hometown but never arrived. . Hong Zizhan can be said to be a child born with a golden spoon and jade chopsticks in his mouth.As soon as his parents arrived in Taiwan, they spent 30 gold bars to buy half of a building on Chengdu Road. The family of three was a large and small apartment.But this Zizhan child is eccentric by nature and likes to play with fire.From the age of three or five, he often set fires for pleasure, frequently burning down the halls and houses of his neighbors.As soon as he saw the fire rising and the flames fluttering, Hong Zizhan couldn't help laughing wildly and proudly, and because of this he got the nickname "Fire Overlord".The kind-hearted people in the neighborhood know that the Hong family has a background of the elder brother's association and is a hereditary iron hat leader, so how dare they speak up?On the contrary, Hong Zizhan's father paid generously and paid compensation neatly.Sometimes the repayment is twice as much as the damage, and people are not very surprised.After a while, when Hong Zizhan was sixteen or seventeen years old, he suddenly came up with an idea, saying that he wanted to start a fire extinguisher business.Because looking at this district in Taipei City, everyone builds houses and houses, and fights for every inch of land. Unless it is built with rows of rows and tight seams, it cannot be comfortable and expensive.In such a market situation, it is advisable to set fire to the wind. Seeing it is like fighting against the Red Cliff and burning a warship, it is the most addictive.The sale of fire extinguishers is even more profitable and profitable.In this way, the right hand stretches it, the left hand destroys it, one dark and one bright, and the left and right bows, not only fulfilling wishes, but also making money, wouldn't it be extremely pleasant? Let's talk about Huo Batian Hong Zizhan when he was nineteen years old, one day when he was lighting a newspaper to make a fire in a dark alley, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a news article with Wu Xiufang's photo on it, and his heart felt like a blast furnace, and his heart was full of truth. The qi is rampant in the chest, frequently fueling the fire of desire, making the heart scorched, the intestines broken, the liver and gallbladder burnt, and the spleen and stomach melted - only then do we know that there is one thing in the world that is more fun than arson.But the match in his hand had already lit the newspaper, and the place where the light flickered left a deep impression on Hong Zizhan.He wanted to take another look, but that frame of Wu Xiufang's gazing and smiling picture was already covered with paper ashes, coupled with the wild wind, it was memorable but out of reach. When the news that Wu Xiufang was under the control of the supervisor came out, Hong Zizhan had just made a friendship with the old Cao Gang as the leader of the Gelaohui, and became the elder of An Qing, the respected leader of the three halls in the Cao Gang.This relationship and friendship was originally a "scene plan" by Wanxi, the second chief rudder of the Cao Gang in Taiwan. Across the black and white, involved in a loose alliance of the three religions and nine streams.The members of the alliance do not interfere with each other, and any entanglement of territory, interests, or grievances can also be decided by all parties jointly.This move is of course related to preventing some juvenile Taibao armed fighting groups from becoming big, but Hong Zizhan didn't think so. He actually operated the fake show designed by Wanxi and exercised the power of the general banner owner of Anqing. For Wu Xiufang. Hong Zizhan first inquired about the monitoring list of Wu Xiufang, and there was such a well-known person in the list, who belonged to his family—this person was surnamed Hong Mingbo, who was a drama actor, and was already a well-known star at this time.Because of his wretched appearance and frivolous nature, he mostly plays villainous characters on stage and screen.Hong Bo was also addicted to opium, and he had to burn several buckets of opium every day to get rid of his addiction.As time goes by, the smoke level has improved to a higher level, and even started to use heroin.On the contrary, his acting skills are very good, and he has a lot of film contracts at hand, so he has a lot of money, and there is no shortage of addiction.But what most people don't understand is his other two identities: first, he is a bachelor of the "Tong" generation.Second, he is a cell absorbed and trained by intelligence and governance units to control certain designated objects in the entertainment industry.At that time, Hong Bo was in charge of "controlling" Wu Xiufang's whereabouts, behavior, and conversations in the studio; and Hong Bo himself played the role of a corrupt county magistrate in "Dawn". Hong Zizhan got the news and knew that Wu Xiufang's dilemma must be solved by Hong Bo.So someone sneaked into director Song Cun's crew, and put two small decorations on the table in the county magistrate's inquiry hall: a seal stone and a Qianlong Tongbao.Others can't see the doorway of these two small furnishings, but Hong Bo can understand it at a glance.There is a secret saying engraved on this seal stone, saying: "Frost on the tile"; ancient coins are placed flat on top of the seal stone.On the set, Hong Boyuan saw the copper coins on the seal stone, of course he found it an eyesore, so he removed them together, only to see the words "Frost on the tile" imprinted on the table.It should be noted that Lao Caobang often used secret language seal stones to pass letters, and this group of seal stones has a total of four seal stones.The first one is "die first", the first one is "don't hesitate", the first two are "snow in front of the door", and the fourth one is "frost on the roof".The first one uses Du Fu's "Shu Xiang" poem "before leaving the teacher, die first" as an adage; seeing this seal, you know that someone in your school has suffered a defeat.The second one uses Gao Shi's poem "Send Li Shaofu to Xiazhong and Wang Shaofu to Changsha" as an implicit phrase "don't hesitate to break up temporarily";The third one hides the four characters "everyone sweeps by themselves", which means to clean up their own house.As for the fourth one, needless to say, what is hidden is of course the four characters "don't care about others", which means that people should stop immediately and ignore outside or outside affairs.The ancient coins are pressed on the seal, and the "coincidence gold stone" is taken, which means that the iron case is like a mountain and cannot be overturned.Hong Bo understood that this was the intention of helping the elders in the middle school, and he had no choice but to follow orders; but the task of the intelligence and governance unit had to be carried out, which was a real dilemma. As a result, not long after the film "At Daybreak" was released, Hong Bo jumped from the land bridge of Zhonghua Road, fell to the rails, and was crushed to pieces by a northbound train.Everyone in the world thought that he was impatient with drugs, so he thought of committing suicide because of world-weariness.Little did they know that there was another reason for it. In the future, it would also involve the long-term infighting between the two factions of the Lao Cao Gang to share food and resources, and spread the spoils unevenly, which caused Sun Xiaoliu and I to be displaced and homeless.This point, even my elder brother and I in the 58th and 9th years of the Republic of China, could not have predicted it. On the first day of the first lunar month that day, before my elder brother had time to explain to me the story behind the remaining three props—hairpins, pocket watches and pens—my father and mother came home with a box of Feiliang up.I have no memory of what happened next; I only know that since then, every Chinese New Year, and my grandpa’s and grandma’s birthdays and festivals, and the days when the family always has to offer offerings, I will try my best to delay the time of kneeling and saluting, so as to save the elder brother’s death. I thought about it over and over again, and explained it clearly to my ancestors and grandparents.As for the other three small props, before I knew what they were, they all became gifts for Xiao Wu. At first, I just gave the pocket watch and pen to Sun Xiaosi to see if his older brother who was learning to repair clocks and watches could repair them.As time passed, I forgot about it.The fourth child was sent to a car factory as an apprentice, and the master of the third child moved his family to Kaohsiung to develop, and he wanted to take the third child with him.Before leaving, the third child only said that Kaohsiung is in the southernmost part of Taiwan, which is about as far away as the United States.Since then, I don't know when I will see you again.In fact, the two elder brothers of the third child are both in the military academy near Kaohsiung, and they don’t necessarily have to wait until the fucking year and month to see each other—they have a holiday when they have nothing to do, and when they come home from vacation, they will order us young uncles Addiction; beat people even if you don't like it.The eldest and the second child have learned several sets of boxing techniques from their father and grandson Tiger. They don't hurt or leave marks when they hit people, but they can make you hurt for ten days and a half months.I still think they come home and make trouble every now and then.But the third child likes to play this score, clasped his fists in both hands, and said: "We will be farewell from now on, I don't know when we will see you again. We will meet again later." Almost stumbled, and the man left.Of course, he did not mention the whereabouts of the pocket watch and pen.Later, when I was in high school, Xiao Wu dropped out of school and started sewing at home.On the night when I asked her to go to the botanical garden, I took out the hairpin on the road and said, "This is for you." In fact, what I was thinking about was what I could do when I got to the ground—for example, He reached into her skirt to feel and pick.When Xiao Wu saw the hairpin, he smiled and said, "It's made of jade." Only then did I notice that the hairpin was a translucent, pure green color, and when it was turned against the streetlight, it would glow like a kingfisher. The feathers are generally oily and shiny. "It's from northern Myanmar, which is close to our Yunnan Province. Such a long hairpin is green all over, how big is that?" Xiao Wu sighed (but I really couldn't figure it out: a big stone and There is nothing to sigh), and continued: "What do you think! It's so hard to get such a little crystal green emerald out of a stone as big as a tabletop!" "How do you know it's jade? I can say it's chemical or hard plastic." "It's jadeite, my grandfather taught me." Xiao Wu stopped walking under a street lamp, held the hairpin in her palm and shook it lightly—don't blame me for saying: her hand is really called Bai. , the palm of the hand and the back of the hand are the same Bai Fa'er - shaking the emerald green hairpin in her white and tender hand, Xiao Wu smiled and said: "My grandpa said that foreigners call this kind of jade "Royal Jade", which is jewelry. The best of the best." "Your grandfather has been dead for so many years, where have you seen this thing?" "He passed this on to me." Xiao Wu pointed to his eyes with the tip of his hairpin, and said, "Not only can I recognize it as emerald, but I can also recognize what kind of stone contains emerald; I can also recognize that this emerald is Cut it out of some kind of stone." I said she was bragging.She said she never brags.I asked if she could recognize what kind of rock this hairpin popped out of.She said it was a stone the size of a table of eight immortals, with a layer of rock skin three to five feet thick on the outside, and a whole oval-shaped milky white rough stone inside—the shape was like a big egg, and the state was like an egg. A big longan.Only in the center of this rough stone is a green jadeite that is not as long as a chopstick.I said you can't prove it.She said that if you don't believe it, you can pull it down.She also said that there are actually treasures hidden in the rocks all over the mountains and plains, just to see if you can see them through the rock skin.I know: her father and grandson Tiger Tiger are capable, so it would not be unusual for her grandfather to have binocular vision. "It's the same principle for Xiangshitou, and it's the same for Xiangren." Xiaowu said as he walked into the revolving door of the botanical garden. The skirt fluttered, making me dizzy and heartbeat for a while, and the words in the crotch suddenly became hard. Get up - I think it is harder than that emerald.Luckily, with the tight fit of my jeans, I was barely able to walk straight. Xiao Wu was unaware of my physical reaction, and just continued: "Look at people all over the world, no matter whether they are tall, short, fat, thin, beautiful, or ugly, they all wear Zhang Yanpi. Some are thicker, Some are thinner; inside they are all rough. Some are jadeite, some are nephrite, some are white diamonds, some are blue diamonds. There are also peridots, opals, garnets, and spinels. Some cut open like yellow diamonds. Crystal, which is actually yellow quartz; quartz is not as bright as diamond, but its color is very beautiful. Some of the hardness is lower—like tanzanite, which is a very brittle gem—but when cut properly, its brightness is very beautiful. It’s very touching. Let’s take agate as an example——” At this point, Xiao Wu suddenly bent over, poked around in the roots of a coconut tree, picked up a small stone that looked like a marble, and said: "This is an agate. Many years ago, my grandfather took me and Xiaoliu to collect herbs in the Hualien Mountains. I have seen this kind of agate. You see it is green now, but it turns blue in the daytime; It’s because there are fewer blue waves in ordinary light, but there are more blue waves under the sun, and its blue light will be reflected.” As he said, Xiao Wu grabbed my hand and stuffed the agate into my palm , I clenched my five fingers and found that she also returned the hairpin to me.She seemed to see through what I meant, and said with a smile: "This is too precious, save it for your daughter-in-law as a dowry in the future." "There is no reason to take back the things that the man gave away." I said, and opened her fingers again, and put the hairpin back. This time she didn't speak for a long time, she just turned around so that I wouldn't see her face.But her slender waist and pointed buttocks are just one or two steps away from me. I really want to do it right now—if I grab her according to the book Maybe it’s not just the benefits of touching her ass; if she really wants to, she just rolls on the spot and falls into the rhododendron bushes next to her, which I call a "beautiful thing". But Xiao Wu stepped forward again, and said at the same time: "So I said: people are the same. Some people have this strength, and some people have that strength. These strengths and those strengths are all hidden in them." ；旁人看不出来，自己也不知道，大都浪费了、可惜了。要是有那眼光好的，可以看出人里头藏着的宝贝，就会知道：人人都是宝石，单看你拿不拿它当宝石罢了。” “那你看我呢？”我朝前一挺腰、一昂头，把个充涨饱满着大鸡鸡的裤裆迎路灯冲她一招摇。 “你啊！”她上下打量了我一遍，笑了起来：“就一肚子谎话当宝贝。”说着时，她一转身朝荷塘小亭那边跑了过去，可我就那一霎时之间，迎光看见她的脸，她的眼睛里蓄着盈盈滟滟的两泡泪水。 那一回我没摸着她，可奇怪的是：当时我一点儿也不觉得可惜。
