For the first time, Xiaowen appeared in front of the whole family, old and young, to preside over the most solemn memorial ceremony. He gingerly announced the first step of the "hair wax" ritual, and firecrackers exploded in the yard. Bai Jiaxuan was in a solemn atmosphere of silence.
Zhong walked to the square table and stood in front of it. He picked up a yellow coal made of burning burning paper from the edge of the table, blew solemnly, and a weak yellow flame appeared on the coal. He slowly stretched out his hand to light it.
He filled the red wood wax with clear oil, illuminating the candlelight of the newly established shrine where the ancestors were showing off their heirs. He lit three sticks of purple coarse incense on the wood wax, inserted it into the incense burner, and then kowtowed three times. Xiaowen
Watching my father stand up from the altar and walk to the side of the square table, he never wiped off the two lines of tear stains hanging on his cheeks. According to their seniority, the tribesmen walked up to the altar one by one, lit a sprig of purple incense and inserted it into the incense burner, and then knelt down to worship.
Go down. The incense in the incense burner gradually became thicker. After the descendants of the youngest generation, who had just turned sixteen and were qualified to worship their ancestors, climbed up from the altar in a panic, Xiaowen stood on the altar with a copy of the rural covenant in his hand.
Facing the crowd, Bai Jiaxuan took the lead in reciting. Bai Jiaxuan stood upright like a rafter on the side of the square table in front of everyone. He followed his son Xiaowen's reading and recited, adding his deep and solemn voice to the chorus of everyone's chanting. Xiaowen's voice
The sound, solemnity, and dignified demeanor make people naturally think of Hei Wa and his brothers who once carried out wanton destruction here. The provisions of the township covenant also remind everyone of everything that happened here, and the atmosphere in the ancestral hall is heavy.
And suffocated. Lu San finally couldn't bear the weight in his heart, and pushed his way through the crowd. He knelt down next to Xiaowen with a plop: "I have committed a sin-" After crying three times, he knocked his head on the brick floor. Xiaowen
He stopped leading the recitation but didn't know what to do. He glanced at his father. Bai Jiaxuan came over, bent down and pulled Lu San up: "Third brother, no one blames you." Lu San beat his head and chest in pain, with wounds on his face and chest.
It was full of blood, and he cut his forehead when he hit his head on the brick floor. Everyone hurriedly pinched the incense ash from the incense burner and put it on the wound on his forehead to stop the bleeding, and then helped him go home. Xiaowen went home again.
Glancing at his father for advice, Bai Jiaxuan said calmly and calmly: "Keep reading."
Although Lu San was in pain, he was not particularly embarrassed. Almost everyone knew that Lu San had kicked Hei Wa out of the house when Hei Wa had brought back a daughter-in-law of unknown origin. Hei Wa's actions could not be blamed on Lu San.
Lu San's behavior of breaking his forehead and sincerely repenting also gained everyone's understanding and sympathy. Among the clan members standing in the ancestral hall, Lu Zilin was the one who was both painful and embarrassed. According to his seniority and status, Lu Zilin stood at the altar.
In the middle of the first row at the front of the table, he stood face to face with Xiaowen, who was reading the hometown contract. Lu Zilin, who was a little stiff in his movements, burned incense and knelt down, but still stood stiffly. He never stared at Xiaowen's face, but stared at it.
An illusory place where nothing exists. His deep-set eyes covered with long eyelashes are half-closed, and no one can see his eyeballs. His calm and dull face hides the completely collapsed inner self-confidence.
All the men in Bailu Village stood in the main hall and courtyard of the ancestral hall. Lu Zilin believed that only he could completely and accurately understand Bai Jiaxuan's true intention of rebuilding the ancestral hall. He knew Bai Jiaxuan too well. Only this man could refuse.
He went down to the theater to watch the monkey show directed by Tian Fuxian, and closed the door to repair his hometown covenant. Bai Jiaxuan was such a person. He bravely came to the ancestral hall to attend the memorial ceremony. He felt embarrassed as soon as he walked out of the house and began to squint deeply.
Eyes in the nest.
From the twelfth lunar month of last year until this time, Lu Zilin lived a life of unspeakable bitterness. His son Lu Zhaopeng pushed Tian Fuxian and ten of his fellow villagers to the White House.
At the theater in Lucun, when Jin Shushou was asked to reveal the inside story of land expropriation for Dingyin one by one, he felt that it was not Jin Shushou or Hei Wa but his son Zhaopeng who was peeing in his face. At that moment,
He suddenly remembered Yue Weishan and Zhaopeng's clenched fists raised into the air; at that moment, he burst out in his heart: Only now do I understand what the Communist Party is. Lu Zilin suddenly broke away from the farmer who was holding him.
The association member threw himself at the guillotine on the corner of the theater, yelled, "You've guillotinated me too," and fell down. He was pulled up again and stood up in his original position. At that time, the audience was shouting that they wanted to take Tian Fuxian.
Zhaopeng seemed to have had a dispute with Heiwa in public. He immediately fired his long-term worker Liu Mouer after returning home that day. He heard that the farmers' association would confiscate the land next, and he became even more lazy to go to the fields to take care of it. As a result, the grains, millet, and cotton grew wildly.
. He had no choice but to take the animals to the village pond to drink water during the lunch break, and picked up two more loads of water. His father, Lu Taiheng, couldn't say anything powerful to comfort him, so he just laughed in the bitterness and said
: "What does it mean to embarrass our ancestors? This is called embarrassment to our ancestors. Our ancestors are so embarrassed that they are baring their teeth in the vagina."
After Tian Fuxian returned to his hometown, those who followed Heiwa and held farmers' cooperatives all day long were as cheerful as if they were celebrating the New Year. Suddenly, like the red vines beaten by frost, they turned black and wilted overnight; those who were with Heiwa and him
Those who suffered catastrophe at the hands of the revolutionary brothers suddenly returned to the sun and were as excited as celebrating their sixtieth birthday; only Lu Zilin was still trapped in the dry well of annihilation, and even Tian Fuxian's favor was gone.
It couldn't shine on his cold heart. The afternoon after Tian Fuxian returned to Yuanshang, Lu Zilin ran to Bailucang to meet his superiors. On the way, he thought about the first words he would say to Mr. Tian when he met him: "Can you
Come back to where we came from." Then the two of them crossed their arms and cried three times. But to Lu Zilin's surprise, Mr. Tian just leaned over and nodded with a cigarette in his mouth, and just exchanged a few words out of courtesy.
He waved his finger to give him a seat, and then turned to talk to the other people who had arrived before him. He almost didn't turn his rosy face back, and Lu Zilin began to feel regret in his heart. Two days later, Tian Fuxian held a meeting
Nine of the ten townships attended the meetings at each welfare center without informing him. He completely confirmed his hunch when he met Tian Fuxian. Lu Zilin then heard that Tian Fuxian invited Bai Jiaxuan to go to the first village of Madang, the first welfare center in the mountain.
Regarding the appointment, he originally wanted to sit down with Tian Fuxian again, but then he quietly canceled the idea. Lu Zilin kicked off one end and wiped out the other - not stepping on either boat. First, the son of the Communist Party
After losing him, the Bailu District Branch of the Kuomintang no longer wanted him to be a committee member, and he could not even serve as the township commissioner of the First Security Station. Lu Zilin was discouraged and even resented Tian Fuxian. On extremely depressing nights, he could only go to Mr. Leng’s pharmacy.
Let him vent his anger. Others will see his jokes, but his relatives will not. Mr. Leng always sincerely urges him to hold the cup and advises him to take a step back. Mr. Leng said: "You must be that country boy."
It’s not appropriate to be called a member of Jiaxuan’s family. It would be great if you could have some of Jiaxuan’s temperament.” Lu Zilin explained: “I must be a member of that village contract. If you didn’t ask me to be a member before, I won’t be a member now.”
That's nothing. He took it first and now he doesn't want me to take it. He has become suspicious of me. This has become a big deal." Mr. Leng still said coldly: "Even if he says you are a communist, are you?
I still don’t know in my heart that I’m not afraid of eating watermelon if I don’t have a cold in my stomach. That’s what I mean if you can mix in Sanfen Jiaxuan’s temperament.”
Lu Zilin accepted Mr. Leng's persuasion and stayed at home for only three days. The three-point Jiaxuan temperament that Mr. Leng had mixed with him was gone. After Tian Fuxian rectified the meeting of the leaders of the Peasants' Association at the theater in Bailu Village, Lu Zilin
Lin could no longer sit quietly behind closed doors, so he ran into Bailucang to find his former boss and vented his anger: "Mr. Tian, brother, I can't understand how you treat me like this. I've been working with you for many years, don't you know your brother's nature?"
There is a Communist in my family, so it’s not up to me. Zhaopeng pushed you to the theater, but he didn’t let me go. He treated me as one of your gang to punish, and you treated me as one of his gang to suspect, brother, I am now
It’s Zhu Bajie who looks in the mirror and is not a human being..." Tian Fuxian was stunned for a moment at first, and then interrupted Lu Zilin: "Brother, since you have brought your words to this point, I will make it clear that there is something wrong with your family.
Such a big Communist Party has upset Bailuyuan, not to mention the whole Zishui County and even the entire province. You are his father. You probably don’t know yet. Zhaopeng is a member of the Provincial Committee of the Communist Party and also serves as
Vice Minister of the Provincial Agricultural Association, you are his father, how can I not be suspicious of you?" Lu Zilin said angrily: "I don't care what he is, I am just me. I have been laughed at by everyone and I can't survive. You and Yue
The secretary said that he should simply take me into custody and kill me, so that I would not have to suffer the consequences of foreign crimes all day long..." Tian Fuxian interrupted him again: "Brother, you are talking nonsense and I talked to Secretary Yue about your affairs.
I told Secretary Yue no less than eight times that I would pat my chest in person and recommend you, saying that Zilin studied in the same class as me and worked together. I knew how deep his eye sockets were and how long his eyelashes were, and he didn’t even have a hint of Communist spirit. Secretary Yue
Finally he relaxed and said he would take a step back and take a look. I don't care if you are angry or angry. You probably don't know how much I have spent on you." After hearing this, Lu Zilin hugged his head with both hands and cried.
He said: "I never imagined that a living person could live to this point..."
Lu Zilin stood in front of the sacrificial table, squinting and killing time. None of the articles of the rural covenant that Xiaowen read could arouse his interest. What has become of the world, and reading these old antiques is like a person suffering from stranguria:
Chinese medicine refers to cholera with severe pain in the abdomen without vomiting or diarrhea. When you have to hold your breath, you just remember to feed brown sugar water, but he has to participate. Just when Lu Zilin was standing absentmindedly and uncomfortable, a member of the militia group walked straight into the ancestral hall.
He patted him on the shoulder from behind: "Tian Zongxiang invites you."
The word "please" made Lu Zilin's empty heart jump suddenly. Lu Zilin walked into the small gathering room in Bailucang. Tian Fuxian stood up from the chief position and stretched out his arm to shake hands with him. He immediately solemnly announced: "Lu Zilin
Comrade Lin continues to take office as the No.1 Xiangyue of Bencang." Amidst the applause led by Tian Fuxian, Lu Zilin bowed deeply to Tian Fuxian and then bowed to the other nine Xiangyue. Two
The black lacquered square table was filled with wine and food, and Lu Zilin sat down a little awkwardly. Tian Fuxian said: "Mr. He invited you to this table today. As soon as I returned to where I was, Mr. He had to take over his humble job.
I say that our Kuomintang follows party rules and cannot set a precedent of taking advantage of the situation. Today's overall situation is determined by the joint efforts of all the township leaders, and it is a happy event for brother Zilin to resume his duties. I accept Mr. He's intention and lend me flowers to express my gratitude to you all."
He Yaozu stroked his snow-white beard and stood up: "I have lived to this age, it is enough. Hei Wa and Boss He want to chop me, but I don't even blink. There is only one thing in my heart, let me
Hei Wa, Boss He, this dead dog, Lai Wa, was yelling at us on the plain, and I was lying on the ground, breathing badly, let alone a living person. Fu Xian came back, and now I am at peace in the plain. I will die right now.
I closed my eyes." Lu Zilin stood up and said, "Thanks to everyone for your consideration, especially Mr. Tian, who is so generous, I will accept my invitation tomorrow." Immediately, several villagers laughed and said, "Even if I receive the invitation every day, it won't be my turn.
You, maybe you will be on board in a month..." Tian Fuxian interrupted: "Everyone, have a good time and listen to me. The overall situation has been decided, but we still can't relax. Each security station needs to work together from village to village.
Those who participate in the Farmers' Association, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, men or women, old or young, have to ask him to say something. String the bow, tighten the string, and grit your teeth. No one can loosen it. You have to call him.
Everyone has a taste of the spicy food. If anyone is still secretly active or refuses to change his mind, you can send him to me and my team members will teach him well. Also, be careful of those who run away and hide.
There are traces of the big and small bosses..." Tian Fuxian turned around and said to Lu Zilin who was sitting next to him: "Before you didn't take office, there was not much movement in the villages under the jurisdiction of the First Security Post. Now that you have taken office, you have to catch up. This
It's up to you next time." Tian Fuxian was telling the truth. Bailu Village's important position in the original area made him easily afraid to change the township contract of the First Security Station. Out of various considerations, he still preserved Lu Zilin.
, only he can deal with Bai Jiaxuan.
After a day of preparation, Lu Zilin held a meeting of Bailu Village the next day. He borrowed eight regiment members from Bailucang to strengthen his reputation. Tian Fuxian personally participated to supervise the battle. Those who had been leaders of the Peasant Association in Bailu Village were taken to
Upstairs in the theater, the ten poles planted by Tian Fuxian when he held the first meeting here have not yet been pulled out and are being put to use. The leaders of the Bailu Village Agricultural Cooperative Branch, not even counting the leaders, are jumping for joy.
Everyone was also escorted to the stage, and they were preparing to rise to the top of the pole in the same manner. These people had already seen the tragic scene of Mr. He being trampled to death. When they saw the pole, they collapsed and knelt down in front of Lu Zilin to beg for mercy. Lu Zilin
Lin didn't even look at them, and just followed the established procedure. Five or six people had been pushed under the wooden pole, and a leather rope with a hook fell from the air, hooking the wrist tied behind the shoulder. At this time, Bai Jiaxuan left
Come up to the stage. Lu Zilin hurriedly gave up his seat to Bai Jiaxuan. He had asked him to host this meeting with him in the morning. Bai Jiaxuan declined, saying "it's a dog bite" again. Bai Jiaxuan walked straight in front of Tian Fuxian and bowed.
He bowed, then turned around and knelt down to face the audience: "I apologize to Mr. Tian and Lu Xiangyue on their behalf. It was my fault that they caused trouble. As the leader of the clan, I deserve to be punished for not disciplining my clan members well. Please forgive me."
They lowered me down and hoisted me to the pole." The chaotic audience fell silent. Tian Fuxian sat behind the table on the stage and was at a loss for ideas. Bai Jiaxuan's unexpected behavior confused him. Lu Zilin was stunned for a moment.
Walking up to Bai Jiaxuan, he pulled his arm and said, "Jiaxuan, what are you doing? People are fighting with you and you are kneeling down for them." Bai Jiaxuan was kneeling upright and unshakable: "Don't let go.
I can't get up." Lu Zilin let go of his hand and ran to Tian Fuxian. The two discussed in low voices for a while, and Tian Fuxian walked to the edge of the stage in a gentlemanly manner: "Jiaxuan, get up quickly." Tian Fuxian said to the audience again.
, "For Jiaxuan's sake, let them go." Bai Jiaxuan stood up and bowed to Tian Fuxian again. Tian Fuxian said, "Bai Xing'er and Heiwa can't be let go. You can't allow these two people to enter the ancestral hall."
Bai Jiaxuan stepped down from the stage without saying anything and walked out of the crowd. Lu Zilin waved his hand impatiently, and Bai Xing'er and Tian Xiao'e rose into the air. Many people roared: "Kick him to death" and "Kick that one to death"
"Tian Xiao'e screamed and couldn't scream anymore. She was hanging in the air with her hair disheveled. A small shoe with a small flower embroidered on the tip fell down... Bai Xing'er was not tortured and was only gently released from the top of the pole.
He came down and tied his two hands high to the wooden pole above his head. Tian Fuxian said: "Country Party members, please look at his two hands." People crowded in front of Bai Xing'er, and the two duck webs were connected together.
The fingers and palms together were ugly and looked like monsters, which were carefully watched by curious people. Bai Xing'er usually kept his hands tightly hidden, and no one was allowed to watch on the court, so there was almost no chance of seeing his mittened hands.
Tian Fuxian laughed and said: "People with such hands still want to achieve success in the original world." Bai Xing'er closed his eyes tightly with humiliation on his face, and his slender, waxy face was sweating profusely. A soldier was holding a long, curved sickle-like
The knife stood under the wooden pole, raising his arm triumphantly as if performing a special skill, using the tip of the knife to cut off the thin duck web-like skin between Bai Xing'er's index finger and middle finger. Bai Xing'er screamed.
There was a scream, like the scream of a pig that was pressed to the ground by a butler, cut off its foreskin and squeezed out two pink testicles. Some timid and soft-hearted people stepped back one after another, and some bold and hard-hearted people pushed forward.
Continue to watch. Tuanding's blade and handle were stained red with plasma, and blood dripped from his back palm holding the handle to the ground. He still raised the knife calmly and carefully aimed the tip at the two
The thin skin between his fingers was scratched and picked until the two palms were finished. Bai Xing'er had already screamed and his voice was hoarse. He opened his mouth frequently but could not hear a sound.
"Okay, okay, you can do it, Zilin, you are the best at playing monkey today," Tian Fuxian said, "Just keep playing like this. Just like this, village after village are passing by. The emperor and his uncle came and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Don't let go." Lu Zilin said: "I'm afraid there will never be another Bai Jiaxuan in Bailuyuan. You saw it with your own eyes today. Jiaxuan is like this." Tian Fuxian said: "Jiaxuan loves to build ancestral temples.
He will go to practice, and he will go to recite the love of Nianxiang. He will kneel down and plead for mercy this time. You go about your business and leave him alone. Don’t forget Heiwa. He ran away and Heiwa is here.
You guarantee that the area under your jurisdiction is in your village, so you should always pay attention to his whereabouts." Lu Zilin said, "I'm afraid he would not dare to come back to where he came from if he had the courage to do so." Tian Fuxian said, "As long as I am in this plain.
"I'm afraid he doesn't dare to come back. It's not a matter of whether he comes back or not. We have to work hard to find his traces and trick this monkey to be considered a good trick."
