Chapter 10 Chapter Eight Catastrophe

Sai Guanyin emphasized one point several times: because she and Yu Fang had been separated for a long time, so long as she didn't tell what happened to her, Yu Fang would not know. To be honest, after listening to her narration for a long time, I was already very impatient, and I hinted many times that she should tell her the so-called important secret quickly, but she always talked to herself and ignored my hints. At this time, I asked again: "Is it possible that during that time, some things happened, and you didn't tell Yu Fang...you didn't tell anyone...so it became a secret—the secret you wanted to tell us."

Sai Guanyin has always been very calm, even if she is talking about her own past, it is just like telling someone else's story.But when I heard these few words from me, my whole body was shocked. I can be sure that the two sentences I just said hit the mark.In order to make her tell the so-called secret quickly, I tried my best to keep my voice calm, and said: "It's not good to keep a secret in my heart for a long time, and now it's time to tell it." Sai Guanyin looked at me and nodded: "Yes, it should be said. But I really can't tell Fang. If I tell him, he is so loyal to the organization and knows that I have done such a thing. If you beat me to death, you will never forgive me!"

After all, Sai Guanyin is old, and although her words are not in the wrong way, she doesn't care about what others say, and just keeps talking on her own. At this time, she diverted the conversation again, and I was completely helpless. It's just these few words of hers that I can't help but secretly startled. Although she hasn't said what it is, but based on these few words, it can be known that Sai Guanyin's so-called "secret" is related to some things she has done.And these things must absolutely not be tolerated by the organization, so if Yu Fang, who is loyal to the organization, knows, there will be terrible consequences for her.

What surprised me was that I knew that the husband and wife relationship between Yu Fang and Sai Guanyin was not an ordinary relationship. From their recognition to their union, they all showed that they should be a loving couple without any power to separate them.But Sai Guanyin still didn't dare to tell Yu Fang the secret in his heart. From this, it can be inferred that what Sai Guanyin had done would definitely cause great harm to the organization, and that would make Yu Fang part of the relationship between husband and wife. I asked myself many times in my heart: What did Sai Guanyin do?

But I don't have any clue at all—to find clues, of course, I should find it from Sai Guanyin's narration just now, but I quickly thought about her narration, and I was still at a loss. And Bai Su is not around, otherwise she is much more thoughtful than me, so she should have a clue.Under such circumstances, the best way is of course to urge Sai Guanyin to tell what happened. I didn't ask her what she did, because I knew from experience that she simply ignored people's questions and couldn't answer them.So I pretended to have already guessed what she had done, showing a surprised and slightly reproachful expression, raised my voice, and said with a little fuss: "How can you do this! How can you do such a thing!"

I think by saying this, I can make Sai Guanyin think that I already know what she has done, and she will tell what she has done. Who knew that I thought I was clever and self-defeating. When Sai Guanyin heard it, her reaction was indeed very strong. She covered her face with her hands, her body trembled violently, and her voice trembled, and she said, "Then...then...how good...after letting go, I want to talk to him every day. Go, but I dare not... I am afraid that he will not forgive me on the road to Huangquan... Now I can't see it going on... I... He will never forgive me... We made an appointment to be husband and wife forever... He will never want to be with me again..."

When she said this, she choked up to the point where she couldn't speak anymore! I was really angry and funny, and at the same time, I appreciated their couple's love. What Sai Guanyin said was endless, and I had no choice but to respond with words of the same nature, I said: "This life is this life, and the next life is the next life, and what happened in this life will be written off when this life ends. " I was just talking casually according to what she wanted, but unexpectedly the old man accepted the truth, and she complied and said: "No, if everything in this life is cancelled, how can we be husband and wife again in the next life?"

Faced with such entanglement, I really don't know what to do. I thought I'm afraid I can't deal with it, I'd better get Bai Su back quickly and let her deal with Sai Guanyin.And knowing our identities, I am also concerned about whether there will be an accident if we leave in an extremely emotional situation.Seeing that Sai Guanyin had no intention of explaining the matter clearly, I ignored her and walked towards the door. I had only taken two steps when I heard Sai Guanyin say in a very sad voice behind me: "I didn't intend to do this... I just thought of death... I've already put it on my neck, it's... the lady of the military adviser... "

These two sentences of Sai Guanyin were talking to himself, but they kept me there. Because I heard that there is a lot to say in these two sentences! First of all, we can know that there must have been a great change, so that Sai Guanyin wanted to hang himself to death.Secondly, she asked me at the very beginning if she knew the military adviser's wife.I have always been unable to figure out the relationship between Sai Guanyin and the military adviser's wife. Now the mystery has finally been solved. It turned out that when Sai Guanyin was hanging himself to die, the military adviser's wife appeared, and of course it was the military adviser's wife who saved Sai Guanyin.

But that's all I know. Sai Guanyin put down her hands at this time, and sighed: "It happened so suddenly, so suddenly...it's not my fault...it's God who wanted to do this...but I was the only one who survived, so I really have no way to explain it. I have no choice but to seek death!" She seems to be talking to me, but she doesn't seem to be talking to me-one thing is certain, as long as she continues to speak, she will inevitably get closer to the secret in her heart, and I must patiently listen to her. I walked back slowly. For the next two hours or so, Sai Guanyin narrated the past intermittently. Perhaps due to her excitement, her narration seemed quite chaotic. After sorting it out, I will describe what she said as follows.

It turned out that the plan was perfect. Children who received special treatment were divided into several groups according to their ages. Sai Guanyin was responsible for taking care of babies from newborn to two years old.And from two to seven years old, from seven to twelve years old, and after twelve years old, they are taken care of by other units, or assigned to families who are willing to adopt them-of course, those who are qualified to adopt such children Families will not be ordinary families, but belong to high-level or even the highest-level families. Sai Guanyin led a company of female soldiers and took care of 203 children—of course the number of children can increase or decrease at any time. After decades, Sai Guanyin still remembers this number because of the terrible incident The number of people in case of an accident. When that accident happened, all of them were on the mountain and lived in a ruined temple. They spent the severe winter there, far away from the flames of war, and it was very safe. Although the living environment was harsh, they overcame Overcoming all kinds of difficulties, he took good care of the children, and none of them died. Winter went to spring, spring thunder rang, and there were several heavy rains. Because they had already prepared and repaired the leaks on the temple roof, they were not affected at all. On the contrary, because of the rain, the streams in the mountains had gurgling water, which solved their The most difficult water issues make their job easier. Originally, for the sake of safety, the organization stipulated that the location must be moved for at most half a year, so as not to be discovered by the enemy and harm the future master of the country. It was time to move these few days, but everyone felt that the environment here was good and safe, so they decided to continue to live in it——then they needed to report to their superiors and wait for their approval. That night, Sai Guanyin wrote this report to her superiors under the lamp.The lamps were lit with the oil boiled from the wild animals they hunted. Not only did they have a pungent smell, but also there was a lot of smoke on the fire, which made the eyes easily tired. Sai Guanyin wrote for a while, closed her eyes and rested, suddenly remembered Yu Fang's ability to see in the dark, and naturally remembered what happened on Funiu Mountain that night, and couldn't help being fascinated. Just when she was in a trance, she suddenly heard a strange sound, which came down from the mountain very quickly. It was not like the sound of thunder, nor the sound of cannons. When he regained his composure, the voice was much closer. Sai Guanyin was amazed, immediately picked up the crutches, and walked outside. When she came to the gate of the temple, the sound was deafening. She first saw a large group of wild animals, raging tigers, leopards, jackals, rabbits, deer, all kinds, They are rushing down from the mountain, the number and urgency are unimaginable. Sai Guanyin knew right away that something extraordinary must have happened on the mountain. She quickly raised her head and looked up. After a look, she couldn't understand what she was seeing for a moment. She saw that the mountain top, which was originally gloomy and green, turned into a living silvery white under the moonlight! It sounds strange to say that the large silver-white area is "alive", but there is really no other words to describe it.The scene at that time was like the whole mountain, which came alive from the top of the mountain, turning into countless monsters, surging, leaping and roaring, rushing down the mountain at an unimaginable speed. For a moment, Sai Guanyin didn't know what happened, she just felt that something was wrong, first of all, suddenly, she felt that the air was completely wet, but it seemed like rain but not rain, fog and fog, hail and haze. It is not smog, people seem to be completely immersed in water, the whole body is soaked, but there is no water at all around them. Rao Sai Guanyin has a wealth of experience, he has seen countless strange things, and he doesn't know what is going on. She was stunned for a very short time, and in less than twenty seconds, she saw a large group of silver-white monsters rushing down from the mountain. The constant changes made the sound deafening, and there was a huge force in it, oppressing it, making Sai Guanyin unable to stand firmly even with a cane, and shaking his body. And at this moment, Sai Guanyin saw it clearly! Those thousands of monsters are water!It was a large area rushing down from the mountain, and there were also large and small stones and trees in the water, as well as various wild beasts that had no time to escape. The speed and ferocity of the attack was indescribable. Sai Guanyin regained her composure and knew that she was in a life-or-death situation. She saw a row of big trees hugging each other, shaking violently before the flood came. When the flood arrived, it was like a bunch of dry grass , was rolled up into the air at once, and then fell into the water. At this time, Sai Guanyin was already sure that it was the heavy rain that had been coming for several days, causing flash floods! Although she has not personally experienced a large-scale flash flood, she has also heard of the terrible destructive power of this natural phenomenon.Huge flash floods, whose power can destroy everything on the mountain, not only everything that grows on the ground, but even the ground turtles, ants and snakes are not immune. That is the biggest disaster for all creatures on the mountain, including plants! At this time, Sai Guanyin first thought of her task. She glanced at the ruined temple not very far away from her, and rushed forward a few steps, intending to inform her subordinates, and immediately took the task she was in charge of. The group of children who escaped for their lives──The group of children is related to the future destiny of the country. The organization has repeatedly emphasized that it is extremely important. Even if you sacrifice your own life, you must protect the safety of the children. But at this time, even if Sai Guanyin is willing to sacrifice her own life, she will not be able to complete the task of protecting the children. Not to mention that she is inconvenient to move, even if she is as flexible as before, she will not be able to rush in before the mountain torrents rush to destroy the temple. The Chinese can retreat safely. She rushed a few steps, fell to the ground, and rolled out. While rolling, she reached out and grabbed a small tree. She saw a valley next to the small tree. Her leg was injured and became disabled. The strength of both arms was still there, and he swung hard, throwing his body into the valley. Sai Guanyin really deserved her life, and she escaped this catastrophe when it was almost impossible to escape! The cave is actually a small cave, about the size that five or six people can squeeze into it. The good thing is that there are rocks sticking out around and above the entrance of the cave. There was a loud noise on the ground, and for a long time after that, she was so shaken by the loud noise that she couldn't hear anything. She only knew that the mountain torrent had rushed down and was blocked by the rocks at the entrance of the cave, preventing it from pouring into the cave. , and formed a turbulent torrent waterfall, making the space in the cave the safest place. Sai Guanyin struggled a lot to get herself to sit up. She still wanted to stand up straight, but she couldn't. She didn't know how long it took before her hearing recovered. The sound of the torrent rushing down made her whole body feel like it was going to explode. She had to gasp for breath in order to slightly lessen the attack from the sound coming from her ears. During that time, her mind was completely blank, she couldn't think about anything, she just kept praying that the mountain flood would pass quickly, and that everyone in the ruined temple could escape this disaster. So she didn't know how long the time had passed, but she estimated it was about an hour afterwards.First, the rumbling sound gradually slowed down, then gradually became deeper, and then the momentum of the waterfall at the entrance of the cave also slowed down. Before the waterfall completely disappeared, Sai Guanyin stood up to the entrance of the cave and looked out. I saw silver snakes running wildly all over the mountain—a large number of mountain torrents have passed, and the rest formed countless small mountain streams. In general catastrophes, the sky will always be dark and the weather will change, but this huge flash flood was carried out under the circumstances of the moon and the wind from the beginning to the end. At this time, thousands of small streams are shining under the moonlight, which is a spectacle. But of course Sai Guanyin was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, she first looked at the ruined temple, and she just felt dizzy when she looked at it——where she looked, there was nothing but the glowing flowing stream, There is a vast expanse of white hills, very clean, not to mention the ruined temples, even all the trees are gone, except for the water, there are bare rocks on the hills! Sai Guanyin talked about the disaster that happened on the mountain in one breath, speaking intermittently, which made the listeners feel extremely frightened. When she said that she looked out, there was nothing, as if she had entered another world, her hands trembled, she gasped for breath, and stopped. I didn't make a sound—it was obvious that although Sai Guanyin miraculously escaped the disaster, all the adults and children in the ruined temple were washed away to unknown places by the flash flood, and they had absolutely no chance of surviving. Sai Guanyin survived alone, how will she explain to the organization? After listening to Sai Guanyin's narration, I thought of this question, which proved that I knew her situation well at that time.Because at that time Sai Guanyin was thinking of this problem. The organization entrusted her with such an important task. When explaining the task, all the heads of the central government repeatedly told her that this task is extremely important and directly related to the future of the country, but now this situation has appeared. Although the flash flood is a natural disaster, if she is to be investigated, she can be accused of many crimes. Light, it can be said that she was completely irresponsible, careless and paralyzed, choosing an unsafe place to live, and after days of heavy rain, she did not realize that there might be flash floods. Heavy, it can be said that her bandit nature remains unchanged, she harbors class hatred for the organization, and intentionally places the future pillars of the country carefully cultivated by the organization in unsafe places, and the conspiracy makes everyone suffer misfortune. No matter what she said, she would be convicted, and Yu Fang would definitely be implicated. The more Sai Guanyin thought about it, the more she realized how terrible the situation was. She knew even more clearly that she had escaped the mountain torrent, but she would never escape the sanction of the organization. She still has only one way to die. How the next time passed, she has no exact memory at all, only knows that it was dawn and then dark, dark and bright again, about twice—that is to say, she was in a daze, after two days, when she could When she felt the surrounding environment, she realized that she had descended the mountain and reached the foot of the mountain without knowing it. At this time, the mountain torrent had completely disappeared. It turned out that there was a river at the foot of the mountain. The water was swollen and flowing. She stood by the river for a long time. She found a tree, tore the clothes into strips, twisted them into a rope, hung it on the branch, tied a dead button, called Yu Fang's name, jumped up hard, and put her neck into the rope loop . Although when I was listening to the narration, Sai Guanyin, who was over ninety years old, was right in front of me, but after hearing this, I couldn't imagine how Sai Guanyin would still have a way out under the circumstances at that time. When Sai Guanyin said this, her breath suddenly became very short, panting for at least three minutes, and Hulusheng, who had been standing still, also came over at this time and patted her on the back lightly, with a very concerned expression. When Sai Guanyin calmed down a bit, she said to Hulusheng: "Don't worry, I won't die for a while. I remembered that after saving me, the military adviser's wife told me how terrible the person who hanged himself looked like. I feel cold in my heart, and that's why I'm out of breath." Hearing what she said, I realized that it was the military adviser's wife who saved her at this critical moment.No wonder she asked me if I knew Mrs. Military Advisor as soon as she came up. Although Hulusheng remained motionless, he was obviously listening to Sai Guanyin's narration very attentively. At this moment, he said: "It turns out that the wife of the military adviser saved you." Sai Guanyin nodded, and after a while, said: "It was the military adviser's wife who saved me." At this time, a sentence suddenly came to my mind, but I twisted the sentence in my throat and didn't say it. The sentence that came to my mind was: "The wife of the military adviser can save you from hanging yourself, but she absolutely can't save the organization from liquidating you." Later, Sai Guanyin didn't seem to be liquidated by the organization. Obviously, something happened again. I can't imagine what it is. I think Sai Guanyin will definitely say it later. I don't need to ask questions in a hurry. If you are organized, if you are disturbed by problems, you will become more disordered. Immediately, Sai Guanyin repeated: "It was the wife of the military adviser who saved me." It was indeed the military adviser's wife who saved her. The situation at that time was as follows: she shrugged and put her neck into the rope loop. This method of seeking death has no room for change. As long as the two feet are suspended in the air and the body falls downward, Once the rope is strangled around the neck, death is certain! However, Sai Guanyin’s life was still undeserved, and at that moment, a gunshot sounded, to Sai Guanyin’s ears, the gunshot was flickering, as if it came from a long distance-in fact, it was not. Nearer, at least about 30 meters away. Thirty meters away from the tree where Sai Guanyin wanted to die, a little donkey turned around from the corner of the mountain. The muzzle of the box cannon made in Germany was still smoking, and the rope used to hang Sai Guanyin over there was broken by the shot just now, and Sai Guanyin fell down. Sai Guanyin struggled on the ground, but before she could stand up, the little donkey had already arrived in front of her, and of course it was the military adviser's wife. The military adviser's wife came close, and when she met Sai Guanyin, she was stunned for a moment, her expression extremely surprised. Sai Guanyin took a look at the gun in the hands of the military adviser's wife, and said with a wry smile, "Good marksmanship." The military adviser's wife took a deep breath, with a hesitant expression, and said: "Look at my sister's appearance... she looks like the legendary beauty Sai Guanyin." With a bitter expression, Sai Guanyin said, "That was my former bandit number. Now I am a mortal person, so I will never mention it again." This sentence is tantamount to admitting that she is Sai Guanyin, and the military adviser's wife immediately got off the donkey and helped Sai Guanyin to sit against the tree. Next, of course, the wife of the military adviser explained her identity, and then asked Sai Guanyin why she wanted to commit suicide. Sai Guanyin knew that the one who saved her was the famous military adviser's wife outside the pass, and she was once compared to her in the world, so she naturally felt very cordial, so she told the military adviser's wife exactly why she must die. The appearance of the military adviser's wife seemed very weak, and she did not interrupt at all when Sai Guanyin narrated the encounter. When Sai Guanyin finished speaking, the eyebrows of the military adviser's wife were knotted, as if she was thinking about something, Sai Guanyin sighed, bowed to the military adviser's wife, and waved again, meaning thank you for your help, please continue on the road, don't care about her life or death . The military adviser's wife took a slow breath, and suddenly she talked about her own affairs, "Sister Guanyin, why do you think I am not outside the pass, but entered the pass?" Sai Guanyin is a person who is determined to seek death, so there is no interest in finding out why the military adviser's wife entered the pass, but at this time the military adviser's wife grabbed Sai Guanyin's hand and spoke with a very earnest expression, so Sai Guanyin had to ask casually: what?" This question triggered the military adviser's wife to explain why she wanted to enter the customs from the beginning──When Sai Guanyin narrated this paragraph, she explained it in great detail.Since I really couldn't figure out what the matter of the military adviser's wife had to do with Sai Guanyin's matter, I became extremely impatient. I gestured several times to ask Sai Guanyin to stop talking, but Sai Guanyin didn't seem to see it at all. In order to express my protest, I went to the door and said in body language: I really don't want to hear it anymore, and I am ready to rush out at any time. However, Sai Guanyin still talked about the matter of the military adviser's wife in detail. Under such circumstances, when I was describing this story, I could have completely deleted this paragraph, but after the whole thing came to an end, Bai Su and I thought it over and felt that the matter about the military adviser's wife might be part of the whole thing A big key, so this paragraph should be kept. Of course, reservations are reserved, I will never explain things in such detail like Sai Guanyin, I will try to simplify it as much as possible. It turned out that the reason why the military division's wife entered the pass was because the group of horse bandits led by the military division could no longer continue their activities due to changes in the situation outside the customs. At that time, the outside of the customs was completely occupied by the Japanese army. There are thousands of people in that group, which can be said to have enough soldiers and food. All the anti-Japanese forces hope that he can point their guns at the invaders, but the military division is completely indifferent. This aroused public outrage and made him untenable outside the pass. Originally, I didn't have a good impression of people who were bandits, but I seemed to be an exception to the character of the military adviser. At this time, I heard that he had such a disgraceful experience, and I have despised him very much ever since. The military division decided to lead his subordinates into the pass. His group of bandits had been active outside the pass for a long time. Many bandit leaders, even young men, had family members and children. If they wanted to retreat first, the military division's wife led the team into the pass. When they first entered the customs, there were only five or six hundred people, half of them were women and half were children.After entering the customs, along the way, because the military division is very powerful outside the customs, everyone in the Jianghu knows that the military division has obtained a lot of robbery over the years, so many bandits and hooligans in the rivers and lakes are eight or three. The old and the young came to seek refuge, so that in less than half a year, the number doubled, and there were more women and children than adults. The military adviser's wife became the general leader, and was trying to find a place to accommodate this group of people who were so messy and messy that they could be called the number one in the world. It happened that they happened to meet Sai Guanyin who had just hanged himself. When the mistress finished talking about her situation, she immediately proposed to Sai Guanyin: "You are afraid that the organization will not forgive you, so you might as well not return to the team and come with me. I will definitely welcome you to join me as the head of the family. You are the old Xingzun in our industry. " Sai Guanyin was not indifferent to the invitation of the military adviser's wife, but she just thought about it for a while before rejecting it. At that time, she only explained half of the reasons for her refusal, saying: "If I become a bandit again, my family will not forgive me." The other half of the reason why she didn't say it was that she looked down on the character of the military division—in such an extraordinary period, if you don't fight the invaders, you can't be regarded as a good man! The military adviser's wife did not force herself at that time. And Sai Guanyin was in the ward, at this point, she finally looked at me, and seeing me standing in front of the door, she took a breath and said: "This is about to get to the point, please come back and listen to me. " Then she talked to herself again, and she said something related to Yu Yu who just walked away. I had already opened the door, so I only heard half of it.
