The young man roared angrily and shouted, "You took me away from the struggle, I am the leader, and I want to command the struggle!" At this time, I couldn't think anymore, I hurriedly said: "If you can hold on, you can go back quickly!" The young man raised his hand and shouted, turned his head and ran forward. As soon as I saw him running away, I breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around and left. Whether he was dead or alive, I really couldn't care anymore. I kept walking forward, asking people the way, I want to go to the station, because if this is my destination, I have to continue on my way.

When I finally arrived at the train station, it was already midnight, but the station was noisy and lively. I saw a large number of young people pouring out of the station. This large group of young people is obviously not a local, because the language they shouted is by no means a local dialect. I squeezed my way in, and when I got to the ticket gate, all the ticket gates were empty, and there was no one there. I turned around, grabbed someone who looked like a railway employee, and asked, "I'm going north, where can I buy a ticket?" The man stared at me, looking at me like a monster. After a while, he said, "Are you kidding me? Buy a ticket?"

I was stunned: "When does the train leave?" The man pointed to the young people gathered at the station: "Then ask them, when they are happy, they will drive!" I said, "Where's the station master?" The man said: "The station master has been arrested. Hey, where are you from? Why are you asking questions?" My heart trembled, and I hurriedly said, "Nothing!" As I said that, I turned around and left, but the man yelled, "Don't go!" I knew that I must have shown my feet. Only outsiders would express astonishment at this chaos, and here, outsiders are almost criminals!

Not only did I not stop, but I ran even faster. I jumped over a platform. Just in a carriage, a large number of people poured down again, submerging me in the crowd. I took advantage of the chaos and boarded the carriage, jumped out of the window again, and didn't stop until I was sure that the man couldn't catch me. Only then did I see clearly the situation of the entire station. The locomotives and trucks were placed in a mess on the rails, without even the most basic scheduling! Several trucks were already crowded with young people, they were shouting and singing, and outside the trucks, there were papers all over them, which read: "Resolutely oppose the conspiracy of the reactionaries to stop the northward tandem", "Execute The highest instruction, go north to connect the revolution" and so on.

However, even though the dozen or so carriages were packed with people, they didn't even hang the front of the car! If the train doesn't have a locomotive, it won't run by itself. No matter how vigorously you yell and how resolutely you follow the highest instructions, it's all useless, but the young people crowded in the train compartment are still yelling. After a while, I saw a dozen or so young people pushing and hugging a middle-aged man to the side of the train. The middle-aged man had obviously been beaten before, and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. There was an extremely bewildered expression on his face, as if he had no idea what was happening before his eyes.

He was surrounded by the dozen or so young people to the side of the train, and many young people jumped off from the carriage, shouting resounded through the sky, they forced the middle-aged man to shout together with them. It took a full half an hour before someone asked the middle-aged man loudly, "Why didn't you give the order to drive?" The middle-aged man was probably the person in charge of the station, he gasped: "It's not that I didn't give the order, you all saw that I have ordered to drive, but there are no workers at all." Among the young people, one seemed to be a leader. He shouted: "But you drove out of that train yesterday, why are there workers?"

The middle-aged man said: "That is the country's transportation task, and it must be completed!" This sentence sounds normal, but it immediately caused an unexpected uproar. Everyone shouted, some shouted: "Revolution is the highest task!" A big conspiracy in series!" Some shouted: "The conspiracy of the establishment must be completely defeated!" Amidst the yelling, the middle-aged man was pushed to the ground, and many people kicked him with their feet. The middle-aged man crawled on the ground and shouted: "The locomotive is over there, you can drive it yourself." !"

The middle-aged man's call saved him, only to hear someone among the young people shout: "The establishment will not trouble us, we will drive by ourselves!" Immediately, hundreds of people rushed forward, ignoring the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man slowly got up, looked at the young man who was running forward, and then turned around. When he turned his head, he saw me. I froze for a while, not sure whether I should avoid it or just stand still, but he had already walked towards me. I saw that his face was still so dazed, as if there was no hostility towards me, so I didn't leave, he came to me, looked up at me, and after a while, he smiled wryly: "I I have worked for thirty years, but now I don’t understand, do I want nothing?”

Naturally, I can't answer his question, even if he doesn't understand, how can I understand? I could only sigh, with a very vague hint that I sympathized with what he said. The middle-aged man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, smiled wryly, and walked away slowly. I have only been ashore for a few hours, but I can already be sure that a kind of extreme confusion is in the ascendant, and this confusion is naturally beneficial to me. Under normal circumstances, if I want to take the train north from this city, I will definitely encounter difficulties. I don't have any documents, and I can't stand any interrogation, and I may show my feet all at once.

However, the situation is different now. Now, in the midst of the chaos, no one pays any attention to me; of course, I have my difficulties, because in the chaos, no regular trains leave the station. Not long after the middle-aged man walked away, I heard the shouts of young people again, and I saw more than a hundred young people, pushing a locomotive, walking on the railroad tracks. The locomotive was moving slowly, and the young people pushing the locomotive seemed to be extremely satisfied because the locomotive was pushed by them, and they made earth-shattering calls. When I saw this situation, I really wanted to laugh, but I couldn't laugh, and at that moment, my heart suddenly moved, and I thought of a way!

Not many of these many young men knew how to drive a train, but they were eager to go north. So what if I go and drive this train for them? I can't say I'm good at driving a train, but at least I know a little bit, so I can get out of here and go where I want to go. When I thought of this, my heart couldn't help beating. My heart was not beating for the audacity of my plan. My heart was beating because I thought that I would be with this group of young people who seemed to be in a state of hypnosis. Get along together for a long time! However, it also occurred to me that I didn't have a second choice, so I stepped forward. When I came to the side of the slowly moving locomotive on the rails, I said to one of the young people: "If you push forward like this, the train will not reach its destination." The young man replied loudly: "The will of revolution, will conquer all!" I said, "Why don't you let me drive it? I can drive this train anywhere!" As soon as I said these words, all the young people who were pushing the locomotive stopped and looked at me. In a very short time, no one made a sound, and in that very short time, I almost even Breathing also stopped, because I couldn't predict their next reaction at all! But, after all, it was only a very short time. Immediately afterwards, everyone burst into cheers, and then everyone scrambled to shake hands with me. Someone wrapped a piece of red cloth around my arm , someone took the lead and shouted: "Welcome comrade workers to join the ranks of the revolution!" I ran to the locomotive, climbed up, and ordered: "I need two assistants, and a lot of coal." The young people around me suddenly agreed, and three tall young people jumped up one after another. I taught them to open the furnace door. There was a little coal beside the furnace. I lit the fire first, and then checked the instruments. After a while, many young people, pushing carts, brought over loads of coal. Anyway, there is no one in the station. This group of young people has formed a ruling force. At least, in the station, no one dares to provoke them. They yelled and sang excitedly, and when the locomotive began to move on the tracks, they cheered, and I steered the locomotive to the train, hooked it up, and by then it was almost daylight. Just driving the train out of the station like that, anyone with a little knowledge knows that it is an extremely dangerous thing, because without normal scheduling, it is impossible to know when another train will come. One of my three assistants pulled down the whistle lever, and the whistle sounded for a long time. I pulled down the lever to increase the pressure, white smoke came out from the front of the car, and the train was already on the rails and moving forward! As soon as the train started to move, more young people squeezed into the carriage. The car is out! I gradually increased my speed, and people continued to climb to the front of the train and climb back again. They were very kind to me, not only brought me water to drink, but also brought me a lot of extremely rough dry food. I was still very nervous, because it was completely unpredictable what would happen if this situation continued, so I had no choice but to take a step at a time.The train drove past rows of houses, and gradually drove out of the urban area, with fields on both sides. On the paths in the fields, there were wooden signs erected one by one, with various slogans written on them. My three assistants are very diligent. Whenever they are free, they give me a theoretical speech. They said: "We want to destroy the old and establish the new, and build a new world and new laws!" I was not interested in what they said, I asked them: "What is your destination?" A young man said: "Every city is our destination, we can stop at any time." I smiled: "Not only in big cities, but also in small counties, I think we should stay here too." It is my selfishness to stay in a small county town, because my destination is a small county town, and I have to reach that county town before I can reach the rich land and complete my mission. The train has been running, and it seems that we are the only train on the entire route. An hour later, there was a sudden noise in the carriage, and many people shouted at the same time: "Stop! Stop!" I quickly pulled down the lever, the locomotive spouted a lot of white steam, and slowly stopped. Before the car came to a complete stop, many people jumped out of the doors and windows. I looked out and saw that we had just passed a town. Not far from the station was a temple. All the people who got off the bus ran towards the temple. I asked, "What do you want to do?" A young man jumped down and pointed at the temple: "These old things, we will smash them!" I hurriedly said, "All the old things are going to be smashed?" The young man had already jumped down, he didn't answer my question, another young man said: "It's all going to be smashed!" I wanted to tell him that trains had existed long before they were born. According to them, trains should also be old things, but before I finished, the young man jumped off too. At this moment, my heart suddenly moved! They want to smash old things. These thousand young people are an irresistible force. Naturally, they will not be able to defeat the formal army, but I still remember that when I just went ashore, I stopped a car Army vehicles, an officer told me that the army was ordered not to interfere with the people's revolutionary movement. But now, these more than a thousand young people, as long as they are slightly encouraged, they can do anything! When I thought of this, my heart couldn't help beating again. Originally, although I came in, even if I arrived at the destination, I still had no idea how to deal with the militia guarding the cemetery and the company of troops. out, but now, I have a way! I can take advantage of this group of impulsive, mindless young people! With them doing things for me, not to mention a company of troops, even a division of troops is no match for them, not to mention that the troops have been ordered not to interfere with any of their actions! I thought about my plan several times. At this time, the young people who had just rushed off the train had come back one after another singing songs and shouting slogans. Thick smoke came in, and when all the young people gathered around the train, there was a man who looked like a leader, giving a loud speech. I could hear him repeating over and over again: "Smash all the old things, destroy the four old things, and create four new ones!" I listened quietly until he finished his speech and all the people poured into the car again, then I ordered my assistant to light up the fire again, and the train started to move forward again, moving slowly, just as the train started to move forward, that The leader came to the locomotive. He was a very energetic, tall young man, except for frowning his brows in deep thought from time to time, his appearance was very pleasing. When he came to the locomotive, he said loudly to me: "Comrade worker, on behalf of all the young revolutionary generals, I salute you." Although the time I spend with them is still very short, I can already catch the few catchphrases in their mouths over and over again. I hurriedly said: "There is no priority in the revolution, and everyone is responsible." The young man happily shook hands with me: "My name is Wan Shiqiong." I froze for a moment: "Your name is weird." But the young man taught me a lesson: "Only if you are poor forever, you can revolutionize from generation to generation. This shows my determination to revolution!" I would have laughed if I hadn't seen that it was not for me to laugh in the present situation.This group of people seems to be revolutionizing only for the sake of revolution, and never mentions what the purpose of revolution is. They are just revolutionizing aimlessly, perhaps revolution is their purpose! I held back my laughter, and Wan Shiqiong began to teach me at length again. I didn't show any impatience, but just listened attentively, because I needed to understand their mental state. Wan Shiqiong gritted his teeth and scolded those in power. When he mentioned the name of Li Enye's third son, my heart suddenly moved. He said: "The main reason we went north this time is to support the young generals in the capital. Fight his mess!" I took the opportunity to say: "As far as I know, the hometown of the person you are going to fight is not far from here." Wan Shiqiong said: "Yes, we are going to his hometown to educate the local people." I was very happy in my heart, and hurriedly said: "I heard that this person has very strong feudal thoughts, and he even sent someone to guard his ancestral grave, and his ancestral grave is near a big overseas capitalist, Tao Qiquan." of!" When Wan Shiqiong heard the name "Tao Qiquan", he jumped up as if stung by a wasp, and shouted: "He has one more crime, colluding with big overseas capitalists!" I know, I don't need to say anything more, I just said: "I see, we don't need to stop along the way, we go straight to his hometown, that is the most important task!" He left the locomotive in a hurry. At this time, the car was driving faster and faster. After a while, I heard a burst of calls in the carriage. The car kept moving forward, and it was gradually getting brighter. I saw many young people running along the railway, trying to catch up with the train and jump on the train. They reach out. Seeing that situation, I had to slow down, and when the speed of the train slowed down, more people jumped on the train. It was a bit unbelievable, how could so many people be squeezed into those ten knots? In the compartment! I heard accents from all over the place. These young people seemed not united. They kept cursing among themselves, and from time to time some people were pushed off the train, and some fell seriously injured. In such an environment, I had no choice but to force myself to become a wooden man, because all people have become almost as blind as ants, so what can I do? I just hope that when our train is flying, no train will hit us head-on. Thankfully, my hope did not come to nothing. In the evening, we arrived at that small county town. As soon as the train arrived at the station and stopped, the young people in the carriage rushed down. The original people, plus those who jumped on the train along the way, I estimate their number is at least 2,000. , Wan Shiqiong is still the leader. I saw him and several people at the station arguing fiercely. But it was a fruitless debate, because immediately many young people rushed over, yelled loudly at those station personnel, and pulled those station personnel away. Then, someone unfurled a huge red cloth in the station, with the words "Dongfanghong Revolutionary Headquarters" written on it. Although their actions were chaotic, there was a kind of natural order in the chaos. After an hour, they had lined up, and there were dozens of people who left the station after getting off the train. Food, the types of food, can be said to be all-inclusive, just the edible things, all brought, and what I allocated was a large piece of pot pie. Just when all the people were in the station, eating noisily, a truck drove up, and seven or eight people who seemed to be of high status jumped out of the car. I was still on the locomotive, and I saw at a glance that Mr. Meng, who had asked me to meet in a nightclub, was among those seven or eight people. He had changed his attire, the same suit as when I saw him before The situation with leather shoes is completely different. A middle-aged officer in military uniform asked loudly as soon as he got out of the car, "Who is in charge of you?" Wan Shiqiong huddled among the crowd and walked forward: "Our actions are in accordance with the highest instructions, and I am in charge of commanding." The middle-aged officer said: "Get in the car and get out of here!" Wan Shiqiong shouted: "We are going to launch a revolutionary action here, do you dare to obstruct the revolution?" The middle-aged officer said loudly: "I am the head of the local garrison, and I have the right to maintain order!" Wan Shiqiong raised his fist and shouted: "We want to smash all the old order!" All the people yelled loudly after him, and the young people began to rush forward, surrounding the seven or eight people who had jumped off the truck. Four of the seven or eight people were guards, and immediately raised their hands. They fired their guns, but there were too many young people around them, and the four guards were immediately disarmed. It can be said that Mr. Meng is extremely ignorant of current affairs. Under such circumstances, he actually pointed at Wan Shiqiong and shouted: "Do you want to rebel?" This sentence immediately aroused shouts from all directions, and the young people shouted: "It is to rebel! Rebellion is justified! Rebellion against those in power!" Mr. Meng's hand was still pointing forward, but judging from the blank look on his face, it was obvious that even he didn't know what happened.The blank look on his face reminded me of the station master.A group of rulers, a group of people who have been responsible for social stability and order, suddenly found that no one listened to them at all, and a large group of rebels were in front of them. The shock in their hearts formed that dazed expression. The seven or eight people began to retreat, but they couldn't retreat to their truck at all, because the truck was already full of young people, and they were forced to retreat towards the railway. They pushed and hugged each other along the way, and fell down several times. Every time they fell, someone would hold them down and force them to shout slogans. They retreated all the way to the side of the train. Seven or eight of them had already been squeezed apart several times. Mr. Meng was squeezed next to the locomotive by himself. Fearing that he would notice me, I turned my head quickly. However, Mr. Meng jumped onto the locomotive. At that time, I saw that the middle-aged officer had been captured by several people. Someone rolled paper into a pointed hat and put it on his head. Someone shouted: "Take him to the parade as a model of negative education!" I felt Mr. Meng pushing towards me, and I could even feel his body trembling. Suddenly, he grabbed my arm: "Drive quickly, I have to report to my superiors!" In his voice, I could hear his completely helpless mood. Mr. Meng's status may be very high, but under the current situation, he is powerless at all, his power has disappeared, he The higher the status, the more miserable the situation may be! I was afraid that he would find me, but I immediately realized that my current position is much more favorable than his, and I don't have to be afraid of him at all! So, I turned my head and smiled: "Report to your superiors? I think your superiors are the bigger establishment. They can't protect themselves, and they were pulled out to parade in paper hats!" When I turned my head, Mr. Meng saw me naturally. At that moment, he looked strange and frightened, which is really unforgettable for a lifetime! He suddenly screamed. At this time, seven or eight young people also rushed up. Mr. Meng immediately turned around, pointed at me, and shouted: "Catch him! Catch him, he is a counter-revolutionary!" !" The young men just looked at him coldly, and I said, "He accused me of crimes because I refused to obey his order to drive the train away. He wants to sabotage the revolutionary action!" Mr. Meng opened his mouth wide, but he didn't have a chance to say anything else. Several young people had already made a move and dragged him down. I looked at him and smiled, and after he was dragged down, he was also put on a paper hat. Then, the rest of the people were also arrested. They were tied together by young people with ropes, hung in a string, and escorted out. I heard earth-shattering cries. Thousands of young people escorted them, Walked out of the station, went to parade in the street. At that time, I couldn't bear it anymore. I was alone in the locomotive, and I laughed a lot. Mr. Meng thought that when he came back, he would be the holder of power. Who knew that he would become the object of struggle! I also never imagined that I would be in such a chaotic environment, but such chaos is obviously beneficial to me. I laughed for a long time before I got off the locomotive. I decided to go for a walk in the city. It was a very small county town. In such a small county town, thousands of young people suddenly came, and the streets and alleys In the city, there are all foreigners, some young people are obviously local, and they are also mixed with foreigners. There are many shops in the county town. Paint the new store name. I went through several alleys and came to the main street. I saw many people crowded at the intersection in front, shouting loudly, and then I saw a large group of people retreating, and those behind wanted to move forward. Going forward, I saw many soldiers forming a row, holding hands, fighting against the young people.
