Chapter 11 third chapter

The Shichahai Ice Rink where the dragon and the crouching tiger are hidden, internationalist fighter and Japanese player Du Weidong.A fashionable novel in a special era "The Encounter of Monte Cristo".Mr. Zhong Yuemin, a famous music critic, commented on "The Boat Song".Who says blood and romance can't be reunited?This is called bloody romance.Zhong Yuemin, a poet with a kitchen knife... Shichahai Ice Rink was the most fashionable place back then. Don’t make too much publicity when you get here, because it’s a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, and there are plenty of "partners". If you see an unremarkable guy on the ice rink challenge, but don't

Underestimate the enemy, maybe this guy is a well-known player in the area outside his house. Zhong Yue had seen one before. This old man would come every night. He was dressed in ragged clothes, with a Shaoxing-style felt hat on his head, and a ragged blue apron tied around his waist.His skates are also very strange, they are actually a pair of felt boots commonly seen in Northeast China, and a pair of "Black Dragon" brand ball knives are tied to the felt boots in all directions with hemp rope.This person's skating skills are excellent, and he can perform various difficult movements without any effort, attracting crowds of onlookers.Once when he played ice hockey with Zhong Yuemin, he dribbled the ball like a loach with one-handed ice hockey stick and scurried around like a loach. Under the siege and interception of Zhong Yuemin and other seven or eight people, he seemed to be in nowhere. Before that, Zhong Yuemin always thought that he was a Master, this time he was so stupid that he didn't even touch the ball after playing for a long time.Later he learned that this person, nicknamed "Sanyuanzi", was a player in the Xidan area. He was a garbage collector. Every time after the ice rink was over, he would go to work the night shift. His job was to shovel garbage into the truck with a shovel. Get on, and then follow the car to the garbage dump in the suburbs to unload the car.This man has a bit of a "beaten generation" style, and he wears tattered work clothes as a fashion, which looks unconventional among the generals and school uniforms.Don't think that San Yuanzi is a garbage worker, "veterans" and hooligans all buy him. Once a group of new players came to the ice rink. They saw San Yuanzi dressed like a beggar, so they wanted to take him He was having fun, but in the end he committed public outrage, and was beaten by the player of No. 100 until he ran away with his head in his arms.

If the Beijing game in 1968 was mainly about not going to the ice rink, then he was not qualified to call himself the master.In addition to the functions of playing and playing, the ice rink also has a very important function, that is, socializing.Since the game masters are people in the rivers and lakes, they always want to make friends with heroes from all over the world. The more people you know, the greater your "share".If you want to become a famous person among the masters, besides showing loyalty and making friends with many people, you must also be ruthless, otherwise who will convince you?Like Song Jiang in "Water Margin", he only knew how to practice his mouth and fake righteousness, but he didn't have any kung fu. This kind of person would be hard to bear by 1968.

Every time Zhong Yuemin comes to the ice rink, he can’t go skating for the first half an hour. He has to socialize first. He has too many acquaintances, and the etiquette is exhausted. The two groups of players got into a fight, and he had to be a peacemaker to make peace between the two parties.His self-esteem is relatively strong, if one party refuses to give him face and insists on fighting, Zhong Yuemin will feel that the other party is not very sensible, and even Zhong Yuemin will not give him face?Isn't this looking for a beating?Often he joined the fight by persuasion, helping one side fight the other.

Yuan Jun was a pure militant, and he was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself when he saw others fighting. As for who he fought with, it didn't matter. The slogan a few years later: The most important thing is to participate.Yuan Jun has already practiced himself. At the entrance of the ice rink, Zhong Yuemin ran into a few buddies who lived in Hongxia's apartment, and they were chatting.Zheng Tong slid over excitedly: "Yuemin, those two girls are here again." Zhong Yuemin hurriedly said goodbye to those buddies: "Oh, I'm sorry, I have some business at my place, see you later."

Li Yanjun from Hongxia Apartment joked: "What business do you have? Isn't it just filming the wife? Be careful, don't shoot bombs." Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun supported each other and were carefully practicing skating.Zhong Yuemin and his team galloped from a distance at a sprint speed, and suddenly stopped in front of the girls across the ice skates, and the ice skates scraped white ice mist on the ice.Zhou Xiaobai looked up and saw Zhong Yuemin, he was slightly taken aback, and then showed a mischievous smile.Last time she played a trick on Zhong Yuemin, she was a little embarrassed.

Zhong Yuemin looked at Zhou Xiaobai, shook his head, and sighed: "It's not interesting, it's really not interesting." Zhou Xiaobai pretended not to understand, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" "I left without even saying hello that day. Anyway, I am your coach, right? My students are being bullied. Can I, the coach, ignore it? But the coach stepped forward and was almost beaten up." , but as for the students, they don't even have a shadow. It's so chilling, who will dare to do good deeds in the future?" Luo Yun smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you want to hold study classes for others? You're not going to fight, how could you be beaten?"

Yuan Jun explained: "We tried hard to reason with those bad boys and helped them change their ways, but these boys didn't want to get in at all, and they wanted to beat us. We had no choice but to stand up and defend ourselves." Zhou Xiaobai was very puzzled: "If you know it for a long time, you still fight. I really don't understand. What's the matter with you boys? You simply regard fighting as a kind of fun, and you are so cruel. It's not counting hands, but you even use knives. I want to ask, what do you think?" Zhong Yuemin scratched his scalp and thought for a while: "I haven't thought about this question, because everyone is like this. If you are honest, others will bully you. If you don't want to fight, you can only choose to be beaten. For example, you Walking on the street, a group of people come across, you take a look at them, what do you think they will say?"

"How to say?" "What the hell are you doing? Are you looking for a cigarette? Listen, is this a human word?" Zhou Xiaobai sighed: "It's so barbaric. Why do boys these days look like aggressive roosters? I remember that it wasn't like this before. At that time, everyone in school competed with who had the best homework, who had both good morals and academics, and talked the most. What is the ideal of the future." Zhong Yuemin secretly laughed in his heart, this silly girl, what year has it been in the calendar, who still talks about ideals these days?He sneered, "Isn't that the time when the revisionist education line ruled the schools? Now if someone says I'm a good boy, it sounds like a curse to me."

Yuan Jun also put on a look of experience in the world: "Now we are talking about who can fight, who dares to risk his life, whoever is black, whoever has a share." Zhong Yuemin continued: "Of course, fighting is our specialty, and we are quite dedicated. In our spare time, we can listen to music and read books. Have you read "The Enmity of Monte Cristo"? That book is absolutely wonderful. , don’t look at it and regret it for the rest of your life.” Zhou Xiaobai nodded in agreement: "I've read it, we have this book at home, it's pretty good." Zhong Yuemin's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Do you have it at home? Great, can you lend me a look?"

"Didn't you just say you've seen it? Have you seen it?" "A buddy lent me this book. He could only read it for one night and had to return it the next morning. I read it all night and only read more than half of it. I didn't know the story behind it. I was so anxious that I took it back Hit your head against the wall." "Oh, that's right. Then I can consider it. If you behave well, I will lend it to you." Zhong Yuemin really likes this book, but this is not his purpose. Borrowing books is the best excuse. If you borrow a book, you will pay it back. If you come and go, you can do anything.He made a gesture of excitement: "Really? Then I must perform well, and ask the party and the people to test me in the struggle. By the way, the ballet of "Red Detachment of Women" is about to be performed. Do you want to watch it?" He tried his last A "killer trick", according to his calculations, as long as he shows such a tight ballet ticket, the girl will be settled. Sure enough, Zhou Xiaobai blushed with excitement: "Do you have a ticket? That's great. I have loved ballet since I was a child, and I even went to a junior class to learn it." Zhong Yuemin said proudly: "Look, I'm not a coach in vain, right? He taught you to skate and showed you ballet. You've caught up with all the good things. That book..." "Don't be so pretentious, isn't it just two broken tickets? I don't care if you don't take me there. Hmph, I'm annoyed when people bargain with me." Zheng Tong didn't like to hear it anymore: "What? Broken ticket? Is this ticket easy to come by? We lined up for a whole night, and my brothers were as cold as grandchildren. In the second half of the night, Yuan Jun and I were so sleepy that we couldn't bear it anymore. After squinting in the doorway of a store for a while, Zhong Yuemin's grandson came over with a brick, and with a single brick, the glass of the store..." Zhong Yuemin hurriedly interrupted: "I said time is running out, and the show will be over in an hour. You have to hurry up and practice. Now that I am officially teaching, you have to study hard. To put it bluntly, the level of the two of you is really good enough." Let me lose my place, when people ask who is the coach? Some people say it is Zhong Yuemin, where can I put my old face? There is no way, I have to teach at this level, who will make me feel responsible?" Zhou Xiaobai curled his mouth: "Zhong Yuemin, are you poor or not? Who cares about your poor coach?" Yuan Jun slid over in a hurry: "Yuemin, there are two people standing up over there. They are Du Weidong from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Lei Lei from Hepingli." Du Weidong is Zhong Yuemin's buddy, he can't ignore it, the first battle has already been won here, there is no need to be nostalgic, he is about to leave. Knowing that they were going to fight again, Zhou Xiaobai quickly tried to stop him: "Zhong Yuemin, why did you leave? Are you still teaching me how to skate?" "Come back and teach later." "Don't fight, okay?" "No, Du Weidong is my friend, can I ignore it?" "Zhong Yuemin, if you have to go, ignore me from now on." Zhou Xiaobai said angrily, Zhong Yuemin just took it as nonsense, this girl is mentally ill, and she has taken care of others before she can do anything, even if Zhong Yuemin's father is here, he can't help but go. He ignored Zhou Xiaobai, turned around and slid towards the noisy place with Yuan Jun and others. Among the many players in the capital, Du Weidong is considered an unusual character. First of all, his origin is very problematic.In the circle of cadres' children, it is very important who the old man is from which mountain, it is related to where you come from.For example, two cadre children who did not know each other before, if they meet for the first time and want to "climb the road", the first question is to ask which part your father belonged to. This generally refers to which army their parents belonged to during the Anti-Japanese War. It is reasonable for us to set the time coordinates during the Anti-Japanese War, because the cadres who participated in the revolution during the Anti-Japanese War had become popular after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and before the Cultural Revolution, their ranks were generally above the division and bureau level.As for the cadres who participated in the revolution after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, one was younger and the other was lower in rank. In the eyes of some high-ranking cadres, the cadres who participated in the work during the War of Liberation were not worth mentioning, because at that time the Communist Party The most difficult period has passed, its size has become the climate, and the army has reached millions of people.As soon as the cadres' children "climbed the road", they all talked about their family backgrounds during the Anti-Japanese War or the Red Army.Their "climbing" has some rules. If your father is in the New Fourth Army system, the other party should first ask which detachments or divisions he belongs to. This kind of questioning is very expert.If you open your mouth and say that my father was in the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army in 1938, you will be scolded, because the establishment of the New Fourth Army was marked by the "Southern Anhui Incident" in 1941. Before the "Southern Anhui Incident", there were four detachments below the military headquarters. After the "Southern Anhui Incident", the New Fourth Army was declared a "rebel army" by the Kuomintang Military Commission and its designation was revoked. It was rebuilt by the Communist Party itself. After the reconstruction, the New Fourth Army was expanded into seven Division and an independent brigade, so the New Fourth Army in 1938 did not have a division system.If their parents belonged to the Eighth Route Army system, they should ask which military region they belonged to and what division they belonged to. The reason is that most of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were concentrated in the Jinchaji area in the early days of the War of Resistance. The Jinchaji Military Region was established by the Eighth Route Army on April 1938 In July, the first military region established after the strategic deployment was completed in North China, with several military divisions under its jurisdiction.Don't underestimate this humble military division. When the People's Liberation Army awarded ranks in 1955, most of the commanders and political commissars of the military division were awarded the rank of general, and they became "big border officials" with heavy soldiers in their hands. The children of ordinary people think that the children of cadres have brain problems. When two people who don't know each other meet, they will open their mouths: What district is your father from?Isn't this silly B what is it?From this point of view, not everyone can enter the circle of cadres' children. With just a few simple conversations, if you don't have some basic knowledge of party history and military history, you will be exposed immediately. Military history is self-taught. Du Weidong's background doesn't match the "divisions". He is not Chinese at all, but a pure Japanese.His father, Du Yuanheigorang, was a foreign expert invited by the Bureau of Foreign Languages ​​Translation and Compilation.Before the Cultural Revolution, his name was not Du Weidong, and no one can remember what he was called, but it was a Japanese name anyway. When the Red Guard movement rose in 1966, there were foreign students in universities and key middle schools in Beijing.These foreign students were also inevitably involved in the Cultural Revolution.Du Weidong, who was in the second year of junior high school attached to Peking University, was more radical than his Chinese classmates. He changed his Japanese name to "Du Weidong", which meant to defend Mao Zedong. He was very persistent, regardless of Mao Zedong. Whether he needs to defend it, anyway, he intends to defend it to the end. After the Cultural Revolution began, Du Weidong also rebelled with the Chinese Red Guards.For some reason, he inexplicably classified himself as a "child of a cadre", saying in a daze that his father enjoys the treatment at the bureau level, and he can barely be regarded as a "high-ranking cadre".He has participated in all the activities of the old Red Guards, established the Red Guards picket team, and attacked the Ministry of Public Security in the name of "linkage". After the big series started, he contacted a few Japanese children, and also carried a red flag to the "Long March" on foot.In Yan'an Zaoyuan, Du Weidong proposed to the reception party that they were Japanese leftists who came to China to learn Buddhist scriptures. When they returned, they planned to carry out an armed uprising in Tokyo to overthrow the rule of the Japanese reactionaries. In future battles, they might sacrifice. He wanted to sleep all night in the cave where Chairman Mao lived.For a person who was about to sacrifice, this request was not too much, and the host agreed to his request.But because there are too many foreigners who have such requirements, some restrictions have been imposed. Each person can only sleep for two hours in the cave dwelling where Chairman Mao lived. Queued up for one day, and once again experienced the glorious years when Chairman Mao lived in a cave.After leaving Yan'an, they went to Shaoshan on the "Long March" on foot. He said solemnly to a few Japanese buddies around him: "If Chairman Mao hadn't gone out of Shaoshan to make revolution, China would still be living in dire straits like Japan today. among!" Of course, this is Du Weidong's performance in the past two years of June 6th and 67th. He is a person who likes to follow the trend. Since Du Weidong also belongs to the "veteran" circle, then of course Du Weidong will do whatever the "veteran" do. Time enters In 1968, the old Red Guards had long lost their power in politics. They stayed away from politics in despair and started fighting and filming their wives.Naturally, Du Weidong would not be idle at this time, he also got a general school jacket to put on, his father Du Yuanping Goro's working relationship was managed by the Bureau of Foreign Experts Affairs, so Du Weidong was like a child in a Beijing compound, when talking to the outside world There is always a question of ownership, so he claims to be "of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs", and has become an out-and-out capital player. Zhong Yuemin sometimes made fun of Du Weidong when he met him: "Weidong, why haven't you left yet?" Du Weidong said, "Where the hell am I going?" Zhong Yuemin said: "Is there anyone who handles things like this? Our plan for the armed riot in Tokyo was drawn up two years ago, why is there no movement now? If you are dilly-dallying like you, the world revolution will not be done." ? Aren’t we going to the United States to fight for the White House in the end?” Du Weidong said: "Bullshit, isn't that the battle plan two years ago? It's a long time ago to change the play, attacking a big city like Tokyo, do we have enough strength? This is clearly left-leaning putschism. If it hurts the cause of revolution Who is to blame for the losses? We still have to take the road of encircling the cities from the countryside, and the world revolution is not a one-and-a-half-day event, so why worry, the nature of my work has changed now, mainly to mobilize the masses and wait for the revolutionary climax to come." These clichés were all learned from the radio broadcasts at that time, and became the happy language of Zhong Yuemin and others. After all, Du Weidong is a member of the Dahe nation. He is ruthless in fights and has a bloodthirsty desire in his bones. He and Zhong Yuemin have fought several times in group fights. Du Weidong always carries a knife and sees blood when he strikes.From Du Weidong, Zhong Yuemin realized that it was really not easy for his father to fight the Japanese devils back then. This little devil was really tough. No wonder the war took eight years to win miserably. In a corner of the ice rink, two groups of young people are preparing for a fight. There are still people flocking here from all corners of the ice rink, and more and more people gather. Du Weidong is wearing a yellow woolen military uniform jacket. He likes to shave his head recently. He deliberately shaved his blue-shaven head in winter, which looks very different. He is confronting a young man in a cotton army coat. The young man in the military overcoat pulled out a Japanese military bayonet from his sleeve. The bayonet gleamed coldly under the mercury lamp. He held the knife in his hand and asked calmly, "What's your name, buddy?" Du Weidong took an ax handed by his subordinates and replied casually: "Ministry of Foreign Affairs Du Weidong, how about you? Sign up too." The young man smiled and said, "In peace, they are called land mines." Du Weidong said sarcastically: "The nickname is quite bluffing, why isn't it called the atomic bomb?" Lei Lei replied coldly: "Where are so many nonsense? Shall we practice alone or together?" "Whatever, I will accompany you." Zhong Yuemin led Yuan Jun and others to squeeze into the crowd from outside the circle, Du Weidong smiled and nodded to him, saying: "Yuemin, we haven't seen each other for a while, what have you been up to lately?" Zhong Yuemin asked: "Weidong, what's going on?" Landmine looked up and down at Zhong Yuemin contemptuously. Du Weidong said lazily: "Who knows what's going on, a kid who didn't have long eyes bumped into me, I gave him two mouths, and this guy quit, saying that I beat dogs and bully the master, I hit him again and again." How? Who told him not to have eyes?" Lei Lei showed a fierce face: "I think you are tired of work." Du Weidong said: "Yuemin, you don't need to make a move, just watch the excitement from the sidelines for a while, and when I chop up the shit, I will invite you to Lao Mo for dinner later." Zhong Yuemin reached out to stop Du Weidong, turned around and asked Lei: "Are you from Hepingli? Do you know Wu Pingjin?" Lei Lei said with a sullen face: "Don't mention this to me, I don't know anyone, but I know this knife." Yuan Jun took out the kitchen knife from his satchel: "Don't you be ashamed of your face? I chopped you up." Zhong Yuemin stopped Yuan Jun: "The ice rink is not a place to fight. Whoever knocks someone down can't get away. How about we make an appointment?" Lei put the bayonet back into his sleeve, and said nonchalantly, "Okay, then let's make an appointment, how about ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow in Yuetan Park?" Du Weidong put away his axe and said, "That's the deal, whoever doesn't go is the grandson." Zhong Yuemin said to the crowd of onlookers: "Okay, didn't you agree? Everyone should disperse, don't stick here, the ice is about to collapse." The crowd gradually dispersed. Du Weidong said to Zhong Yuemin with a livid face: "Yuemin, bring your people to cheer me up tomorrow, I will chop this kid up." Zhong Yuemin said in a big way: "No problem, I will definitely go. This kid is called Lei? Is there such a number in Hepingli? Why haven't I heard of it? I think this grandson is in need. How many people can you call tomorrow?" ?" Du Weidong replied: "One hundred and ten people is enough, and if there are more, it will be impossible to play." Zhong Yuemin said: "If there are too many people, you can't fight. I have experience with this. There must be people who know each other in the two groups. Once they say hello, it's okay. Let's make a deal." Du Weidong gritted his teeth and said, "Let's talk about it later, I hope to practice solo with that mine." Seeing that the fight didn't start, Yuan Jun felt disappointed, so he blamed Zhong Yuemin for meddling in his own business: "What are you talking to him about? Go up and chop it up with a kitchen knife and forget it, what else do you want to make an appointment with him? Maybe the day after tomorrow I won't bother to go It's over." Zhong Yuemin suddenly remembered something: "Hey, Yuan Jun, you still owe me a meal. It seems to be Xinqiao Hotel. Why didn't you even mention it? Are you pretending to be confused?" Yuan Jun looked innocent: "Really? Why don't I have any memory at all? You took the things in your dreams seriously, right?" Zhong Yuemin grabbed Yuan Jun's arm and twisted it and asked, "Looks like I have to remind you, think about it carefully, do you remember..." "Oh, take it easy, I remembered, I finally remembered, it seems that there is such a thing, tomorrow... tomorrow, okay?" "That's right, why is the young man's memory so bad? It seems that a reminder is necessary."
