The Wang family father and son were so angry when they saw the letter that they threw away all the family affairs that were preparing for the New Year. The father and son took the matchmaker to the Bai family and threw the piece of letter paper in front of Bai Jiaxuan. Bai Jiaxuan picked up the letter paper from the table and looked at Bai Ling
With the graceful ink mark, a thick yellow mist suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. Holding the letter paper in my hand was like holding a dead snake. The Wang family's son was a white-faced man, showing off his temper and saying unpleasant things, while I was a red-faced man, talking about benevolence, justice and morality in a leisurely way.
According to local customs, the father and son, one high and one low, one yin and one yang, were sarcastic and dusted their teeth, showing off their prestige and exhausting their bad temper. Bai Jiaxuan always stood stiffly with his back straight, staring and saying nothing. The matchmaker was pulled in
At that time, he also complained a lot about Bai Jiaxuan. On the surface, he adopted a neutral and impartial attitude, but now he suddenly had a fundamental reversal: "That's enough, that's enough. It's enough for you and my son to make a fool of themselves with their crooked words."
"Che, isn't it enough for Jiaxuan not to say a word?" Bai Jiaxuan's face was ashen and defeated, like an eggplant with its purple skin shaved off, and he forced his face to stop the matchmaker: "Be quiet, let people say as much as you can if you have something to say." He turned his face away again.
He made a more sincere gesture and said to the Wang family and his son: "If you have anything to say, feel free to vent your anger. I will hold you in your arms. Even if you spit on my face, I won't wipe it." The Wang family and his son looked at each other and exchanged glances:
Do you want to continue scolding? Mr. Wang suddenly raised his fist and beat it on the table, reprimanding himself: "Jiaxuan, I'm a bastard." After saying that, he took his son's hand and left without saying goodbye. The next day,
Bai Jiaxuan instructed Xiaowu and Lu San to pour twenty sacks of wheat from the grain store upstairs, bundle fifteen bundles of cotton, and load two full sets of ox carts to send to the Wang family. Lu San raised a bag covered with grain dust.
Face asked: "Lingling's gift was not five stones of wheat and ten bundles of flowers. Why did you refund so much for him?" Bai Jiaxuan said calmly: "I added the interest." The thick knot on Lu San's throat slid violently twice,
He closed his wide, fluffy mouth. Xiaowu slowly turned his head, suddenly pulled the leather rope hard and hit the ox's belly, and the ox cart started with a creak. Bai Jiaxuan looked at two sets of sacks full of grain and cotton bundles.
Zi's bullock cart drove out of the alley, turned around, folded his fists, and said to the tribesmen gathered in the street: "I have embarrassed my people with the surname Bailu." He raised his head and raised his two
He put his thick hands on his curled back, and announced in a calm voice: "There is no such person as Bai Ling in the surname Bai. He is dead." After saying that, he still put his hands behind his back and walked into the street gate of his house...
When her aunt narrated this incident, she pursed her lips in silence, deliberately trying to calm down the emotions aroused by mentioning the past, and fell into a still silence. Bai Ling glanced at his aunt's solemn expression, and naturally thought of his father.
She looked a little regretful for her recklessness. The letter she sent to the Wang family and his son finally hit her father on the bridge of the nose like a stone. With those twenty sacks of wheat and fifteen bundles of cotton, the Wang family and his son could not only marry a wife, but even marry him.
In the future, it will be enough to feed the grandson for a full month. The aunt said calmly: "Your father's suffering is only on his face. Xiaowen peeled off one layer of skin on his face, and you then peeled off another layer." Bai Ling
Thinking of the important mission of this trip, I jumped out of the family entanglement and said to my aunt: "That's fine. Just treat me as dead, and my father will stop hurting me." What else did my aunt want to say?
, Bai Ling couldn't hold back his temper and listened to her scolding, so he interrupted and said: "Aunt, I have to go to the county town. I sent a letter to others to deliver." Aunt went to the study room in the front yard and called uncle. Uncle said: "
Leave the letter for someone with me and let passers-by take it into the city to prevent you from running away." Bai Ling said, "The son of County Magistrate Hao is my classmate and asked me to hand it to his father personally."
It was lunch break when Bai Ling walked into the courtyard of Zishui County. County Magistrate Hao received Bai Ling in his bedroom. Bai Ling rushed to the lunch break not by accident, but after careful calculation, so he listened to his aunt
She scolded her for her embarrassment. She told a made-up lie based on her classmate relationship with the county magistrate's son, and then handed the letter to the county magistrate. Magistrate Hao opened the envelope, read the letter, and held Bai Ling's hand in both hands.
Bai Ling couldn't help but said: "If you have difficulties, don't force it." County Magistrate Hao let go of his hands, sat down and waved his hands: "How can there be no difficulties? But the problem has been solved." County Magistrate Hao said
The chief told Bai Ling that on the third day after the collapse of the 36th Red Army, he arranged for the underground party in the mountainous area to take in the Red Army soldiers in Yukou and the mountains and extradite them out of the mountains. Many of them have returned to their hometown of Maoqin. County Chief Hao lowered his voice and said,
He was extremely surprised and said: "Commander Liao returned to Beishan, which reassures the organization." Bai Ling couldn't help but asked: "Where is the political commissar Lu?" County Magistrate Hao looked at Bai Ling's unusually eager eyes, and said a little reservedly: "He also
Back to my hometown, Bailuyuan." Bai Ling suddenly stood up and held County Magistrate Hao's hand and said, "You are really an old hen that protects you from the wind and rain."
Bai Ling easily walked out of Magistrate Hao's house when the county government started to go to work. There were hurried figures of young clerks in the yard, and there were also old employees with serious faces that did not show the city government. It was a bit funny to her. If one day Hao
The county magistrate suddenly stood in the yard and announced: I am the Communist Party, so these junior officials and old employees will definitely be frightened and fall to the ground. When Bai Ling walked through the deep house of the county government, he repeatedly considered whether he should go and meet his elder brother Xiaowen for a while.
What impact will it have if you see it? What impact will it have if you don't see it? In the end, I decided that I should go.
Bai Xiaowen looked at the foreign student standing at the door with a reserved smile and couldn't help but be startled. There was no such beautiful woman in the entire Zishui County. Bai Ling called out "Brother" and Bai Xiaowen's stiff and suspicious face suddenly brightened: "Oh.
Lingling." Bai Ling was completely innocent like a younger sister: "Brother, I'm about to graduate. I originally wanted to go to a higher education institution, but there was no one to support me, so I had to give up." Bai Xiaowen said, "You take the test, you take the test, I
Supply, you'd better go to Peking." Bai Ling said, "It's too late, it's too late, I've already found a job." Bai Xiaowen asked, "What are you doing?" Bai Ling said, "Teaching." Bai Xiaowen nodded in appreciation.
He said: "Teaching is not bad, life is very peaceful." After saying that, he remembered to ask, "Why did you remember Brother Xun is here today?" Bai Ling said: "I came to see my eldest aunt, and also to see you. I am now
There was an orphan who was orphaned..." Bai Xiaowen comforted his sister and said, "Our dad is that... Okay, okay, don't be sad. I'll take you to meet my sister-in-law in a while. I'm very busy these days.
I'm going to die..." Bai Ling said casually: "Brother is sailing a smooth sailing boat now, so of course he is very busy." Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said: "It's okay to be tight and loose for a while. I used to die in the 36th Army in the mountains.
We are cleaning up those stragglers. If we can't catch them tightly, we will let them slip out of the mountain. The people above are urging us to report the number of arrests." Bai Ling looked curious and asked: "I saw the news in the newspaper, and it said that
'Total annihilation'. Are you here to participate in the encirclement and suppression?" Bai Xiaowen said: "I am only responsible for the defense of the county." This seemed not enough, and then he said with regret: "One night, I accompanied Secretary Yue to see the university.
Uncle, I never expected that the political commissar of the 36th Army was in my uncle's house. Guess who it is is Lu Zhaopeng. I can't take action because it's in my uncle's face. If he runs away again, his fate is bad..." Bai Ling
Her heart had already shrunk into an egg. Unexpectedly, Zhaopeng almost fell into the hands of her eldest brother, and her eldest uncle did not mention this matter to her. Her aunt must have felt that this matter was not as important as the response caused by her letter of breaking off the engagement. Bai Xiaowen was proud of it.
Bai Ling relaxed from the initial surprise and completely confirmed the news that Zhaopeng had escaped from danger, and confirmed that County Magistrate Hao said that Zhaopeng was in his hometown of Bailuyuan.
She pretended to express regret: "Xuanxuanxuan, the silver ocean that I really got is lost again - you and Secretary Yue are exactly 500 miles each." Bai Xiaowen said: "Money is nothing. The key is to let this evil escape again."
. He is the big bane of Zishui. Zishui County will not be peaceful unless Lu Zhaopeng is eliminated." Bai Ling smiled lightly and said, "If you catch him, there will be a lot of fun. He belongs to our village.
People are making trouble." Bai Xiaowen shook his head disapprovingly: "I can't care about it now, let alone the township party in a village. The two parties are fighting for the world, and they are fighting to the death..." At this point, Bai Xiaowen suddenly realized that as his elder brother
Responsibility: "Lingling, you have to pay attention. Now that you are a teacher, you should teach well and don't get involved with shady people. There is no 'communist' engraved on your face. If you are dragged into it, why don't you respond?"
I know." Bai Ling said with a smile: "If that happens, brother, you will bring someone to arrest me." Bai Xiaowen said half as a joke and half as a serious threat: "If that really happens, there is nothing I can do -
-This is the bowl of rice I eat." Bai Ling said: "This bowl of rice is made of the human flesh of the Communist Party." Bai Xiaowen stared. Bai Ling laughed and stretched out his hands: "Cuff my hands, brother.
, I am, you can handcuff me." Bai Xiaowen smiled helplessly, and slapped the white hand stretched out by his sister: "You have grown so big and still have no integrity..."
Bai Ling declined her brother's invitation to meet her new sister-in-law with a regretful tone, saying that she had to rush back to the provincial capital tonight and have to teach students tomorrow morning, and she would not be able to catch the oxcart into the city any later. Such an excuse was unacceptable.
To adapt, Bai Xiaowen had no choice but to agree, and enthusiastically and sincerely told his sister to come back to the county town when she had time. He even formed an alliance with her in a joking tone: "You, like my brother, have families that are hard to return to. We will depend on each other for our lives."
Bai Ling sat on the bullock cart back to the city and let out a sigh of relief, "I can't take action because of my eldest uncle's face." This phrase that showed professional characteristics and personality traits suddenly echoed in his ears... Bai Ling is almost now
I couldn't wait to see Zhaopeng and asked him how he escaped in the face of Yue Weishan, the bounty hunter of a thousand oceans, and Bai Xiaowen, who was "not easy to take action".
There was a clanking sound on the road, and the wheels and axles made a sharp and monotonous creaking sound. They gradually moved away from the gray and dilapidated county town. When they entered the Zishui River Road, they showed the vitality of the countryside, and a huge sun was shining just right.
It is placed on the flat roof in the west of Bailuyuan, just like a big yolk with the egg white removed. Bai Ling holds his knees with both hands and looks at the steep original slope opposite. The top of Bailuyuan is flat and open, but its bottom looks like this
Broken and ugly...
From the top of the original to the river at the root of the slope, the entire original slope is lined with ravines and ridges from top to bottom from east to west. Each large and deep ravine is connected to several dozen small ditches.
One or more than a dozen beams are divided between the ditch and the small ditch. They look like a human skeleton with skin and flesh torn off. Of course, the blood has been drained out long ago. The beams are in various shapes and shapes, and some of them look like flying with wings.
Some of the goshawks are like smooth doves; some are like galloping wild horses, some are like old cows lying still and chewing cud; some are like majestic and independent lions, and some are just like a prostrate scabies frog.
...They are actually more like a pair of para-animal specimens inlaid on the surface of the original slope. Only the fur has only the form and has lost its vitality. The crop fields with stacked weirs can be vaguely seen on the Maoliang. There are plants and clumps in the ravines.
The climatic shrubs are dotted with a touch of green, exuding a precious vitality. There are small villages here and there, and the green cover of dense trees has become the symbol of the village without exception. No one can say Qingpo
When did the ancestors of the Gouli residents begin to enter human society? Was he a local aboriginal, a Zahu who migrated from the grassland and Gobi, or was it the result of the melting of indigenous people and Zahu... "It's a disgrace to my eldest uncle.
It’s not easy for me to take action.” Brother Xiaowen’s cruelty and ferociousness were tempered by his professional habits into a plain complacency and frivolity. At that time, he should have been given a mouth to see if he would still use that tone to say that kind of professional language. It is not revolutionary. Now it has reached a critical moment.
, newspapers would publish news of the capture of party leaders within a few days. The collapse of the 36th Army and the rebellion of Political Commissar Jiang were unexpected disasters. When Zhaopeng left half a year ago, he only told her: There are
A teacher Duan contacted you. It was not until the newspaper published the major news that the 36th Army was wiped out that she knew that Lu Zhaopeng went to the 36th Army half a year ago. After Teacher Duan, another teacher Xue came and said
He will contact her from now on because Teacher Duan was arrested. Not long ago, Mr. Huang came to contact her and said that Teacher Xue was also arrested by the authorities and was put into a sack and thrown into a dry well together with Teacher Duan. Mr. Huang
He said, "Xiao Bai, the reason why you are still safe and sound just proves that Duan and Xue are real teachers." Bai Ling only has two sacks with Teacher Duan and Teacher Xue in his mind, and the seven-foot man stuffed them into three-foot-long sacks.
The realistic scene of a sack being tied tightly and being dragged and thrown into a dry well. She was speechless at the time, and the initial panic quickly turned into unparalleled anger. She sneered at Mr. Huang and said:
"Thanks to you explaining the news to me, I am no longer afraid when I am put in a sack." Later, she repeatedly replayed the scene of two teachers, Xue, being put into sacks and thrown into a dry well; she had never experienced anything alive.
The scene of people being put into sacks and thrown into dry wells was actually so vivid and unforgettable. Bai Ling felt that it was the moment when Mr. Huang said that scene that finally made her mature.
, and also underestimated himself: death is nothing; for a regime that implements such brutal killing methods against dissidents, it is shameful for you to have even the slightest illusion about it, and you should or deserve to be put in a sack.
Throw it into a dry well; you must overthrow it, knock it down, and destroy it without having to negotiate any conditions with it; only now can she closely understand the vividness of the two idioms of no hesitation and death.
