Tea King (13 To fifteen)- Shi Shaopeng

13

There is a barber shop on Huayuan Avenue. The master is called Lan Chunlai. He is said to be the distant cousin of Lan Sheng. He smiled at everyone, especially children. Shaving a child's head is troublesome, the younger the child, the more troublesome it is, either crying or making trouble. But Lan Chunlai has a way to deal with children, he is very good at coaxing children. Lan Chunlai has high craftsmanship and is a good person, so the people in the polder from the head of the security guard Wen Shaobo and the mayor Lin Jinguang to ordinary tea farmers and children like to come to him to shave their heads.

That night, it was a bit cold and raining again. Before eight or nine o'clock, the shops on Heyuan Avenue were closed early. Except for the lantern at the entrance of Chunxiao Inn, and occasionally one or two people walking around, the whole street is quiet. After the basket student helped Zhang Guanjia to close the store door, he said that he wanted to chat with his cousin, Lan Chunlai, and put on a piece of palm.

Lan was born to the door of the barber shop where Lan Chunlai, seeing no one around, knocked on the door lightly. After a while, Lan Chun came to ask who it was. Lan Sheng answered that it was him. The door squeaked open, and the basketball player stepped in. Lan Chunlai put his head out of the door and looked at it. It was dark outside, and he didn't see anything, so he closed the door gently. The barbershop

has two tiled houses in front and one in the back. The barbershop is in the front and the bedroom is in the back. There is a wall between the two rooms with a wooden door on the wall. A mirror is hung on the wall on the left side of the barber's room. Below the mirror is a wooden table with razors, scissors and other tools for haircutting. In front of the wooden table is a barber chair. There are also several stools in the room. The

basket was born into the bedroom, and basket Chunlai also went in afterwards, and closed the wooden door. The basketball students immediately realized that there must be some important task. In the afternoon, Lan Chunlai went to the tea shop to buy tea under the pretext of visiting him by the way, and quietly told him to come to the barber shop at night. At that time, the basketball student realized that there might be a task. Now that he sees the mysterious appearance of Lan Chunlai, he believes in the afternoon's judgment even more. The two took off their shoes and sat on the bed, facing each other. Before Lan Chunlai had spoken, the basketball student said, "Brother Chunlai, did the family give me a task?" Lan Chunlai looked at him and nodded. The basketball student said excitedly: "Great, I can hold back..." Lan Chunlai lowered his voice and said, "Don't be too happy, this task is not easy." The basketball student said, "I can do all the heavy tasks. Don’t be afraid. You don’t know, I’m so uncomfortable, I always want to go home and have a good time with my comrades." Lan Chun said, "Do you think you are the only one who is uncomfortable? Don’t always want to have a good time! You are not! I don’t know, the enemy’s blockade is still very tight, and our situation is still very difficult. In the afternoon, the county party committee issued an instruction, asking the scattered and hidden comrades to continue to conceal, and there is no order not to move, so as not to reveal their identity. The county party committee said that the preservation of power is the need of the revolution. . We must obey the order.” When the student heard that, the happiness just disappeared half of the time. He said: “You...I just asked if your family assigned me a task, why did you nod your head?” Lan Chun said: "What's the matter with me nodding?" The basketball student said, "So the family really assigned me a task?" Lan Chun said, "I gave you a task." The basketball student immediately smiled and said, "Brother Chunlai, What task is assigned to me by the family, please say quickly!" The basket student can't hold back.

Basket Chunlai and basketball students are both guerrillas from Phoenix Mountain. Dispatched by the organization, Lan Chunlai came to Weishang as a shaver a few years ago. The barbershop was an underground transportation station for the guerrillas. In the summer of the previous year, after the Deng Haiguang Division of the Ninth Division of the Kuomintang Third Army captured Danan Mountain, the local reactionary forces in the three counties of Chaocheng and Rao were gathered to "encircle and suppress" the Phoenix Soviet Area. The Soviet power in the Soviet area was severely damaged and the base area was in trouble. In order to preserve the revolutionary forces, the main forces of the Soviet area and the county party committee were successively transferred to southern Fujian. Under the leadership of the special committee of the Fujian-Guangdong border of the CCP, they insisted on guerrilla warfare in the Fujian-Guangdong border, while some comrades who remained in Phoenix Mountain were temporarily scattered and hidden. The basket students were organized and arranged to Wuyu Tea House. Because of Lin Zhongtao's status in Fenghuang Township and his social relations, the organization felt that it was safest for basket students to go to Wuyu Tea House, and it would be good for future work. For the convenience of communication, the basketball students and Lan Chunlai go outComparable to cousins. However, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, the two usually don't have much contact. Basically, the students come to Lan Chun's shop to shave once a month.

Lan Chunlai said solemnly: "In the afternoon, Captain Hao sent someone to convey the instructions of the county party committee and gave you an order to go to Chaozhou City to pick up a batch of medicines up the mountain. A few days ago, the guerrilla Xiao Liu went to pick up the medicine. Something went wrong. Now the traffic station in the city has made another batch of medicines. Captain Hao hopes that you can complete this task as soon as possible. "

Captain Hao is Hao Minghui, who is the captain of the Phoenix Mountain guerrilla team. The

basketball student said: "Captain Hao has returned to Phoenix?"

Lanchun said: "I am back. Half a month ago, the Chaochengrao County Party Committee was transferred to Zhao'anping Road to implement the Fujian-Guangdong Special Committee on establishing the Phoenix Red Fulcrum. According to the instructions, Captain Hao was sent back to Phoenix to start work. The guerrillas led by Captain Hao used to be active on the border of Raozhao. After receiving the order, he immediately led the team back to Phoenix. I didn’t expect that the team encountered the enemy as soon as they arrived in Qipan Village. Ten comrades were surrounded on all sides and suffered heavy losses. Ten comrades died on the spot, and a dozen were injured. Several of them were seriously wounded. Their lives were at stake. In order to save the lives of soldiers, Captain Hao sent Xiao Liu into the city to get medicine. Xiao Liu hid the medicine in bamboo. In the mezzanine at the bottom of the basket, when he came back to prepare to cross the North Gate Ferry, he was searched by the Kuomintang soldiers guarding the crossing. In order to prevent the traffic station in the city from being affected, Xiao Liu jumped off the Han River by the enemy and was shot dead by the enemy. In the river."

Hearing what Lanchun had said, the basketball students started to think. The room was suddenly so quiet that you could hear the flame of the oil lamp jumping.

Seeing that the basketball students did not say a word, Lan Chunlai felt that the basketball students were embarrassed. He said: "This task is indeed arduous, but this batch of drugs is very important. It is related to the lives of more than a dozen wounded guerrillas." The basketball students looked up. Said: "No matter how difficult the task is, I am not afraid! I...I am thinking about how to ensure that this batch of medicines can be safely delivered to the mountain. Something happened to Xiao Liu, and now the enemy must have increased his vigilance."

"Yes, So we have to figure out a good way to come."

"The time is urgent. Get the medicine early, and the wounded will have more hope." The basketball student looked at Lan Chunlai and said, "I was thinking just now. , Until now, there is only one dangerous move!"

"One dangerous move?"

"Yes, only one dangerous move!"

"Well, what kind of dangerous move, you can listen to it."

Basket Chun came to talk while rolling a cigarette and handed it to Lan Sheng, rolled another one by himself, then took the oil lamp from the bedside table, and the two leaned forward to smoke the cigarette. The

basket student took a deep breath and said, "I want to ask Lin Xuelin to help me complete this task." When

basket Chun came to listen, he looked at the basket student in astonishment and said: "What, ask Lin Xuelin to help you? That daughter of Lin Zhongtao?"

Lansheng nodded softly and said, "Yes, that's her."

"Did you tell her your identity?" Lan Chunlai said anxiously, "It is against organizational discipline to leak secrets casually. "

" No." said the basketball student, "Seeing you are in a hurry, how can I violate the discipline of the organization?"

"Then how do you want to ask her for help? Doesn't this reveal your identity?"

" I believe she will keep secrets for me, and will help me. The situation is urgent now, I think I have to ask her for help to complete the task to be more sure. As for the risk, I think there are still some. I don’t care about it myself, since I participated In the revolution, I gave my life to the party. The reason why I say this is a dangerous move is mainly because I am worried that if something goes wrong, I will harm Lin Xuelin, and I cannot blame Lin Zhuangzhu."

Even so, Lan Chunlai felt that it was not appropriate to ask Lin Xuelin for help. Years of underground struggles have allowed Lan Chunlai to develop a careful and cautious character. The basketball student saw what Lan Chunlai was thinking about. He asked Lan Chunlai to rest assured, saying that Lin Xuelin would not do anything to him. After the

basket student came to the Wuyu tea house to hide in the dark, in contact with Lin Xuelin, she felt that although she grew up in a wealthy family, she did not have the slightest squeamishness of a lady. She is not only hard-working, but also very simple and has a sense of justice. She is a progressive young man. Once in a chat, Lin Xuelin accidentally revealed her heart to the basketball students, saying that she admired the guerrillas who fought on Phoenix Mountain, and said that for their own ideals, they are not afraid of suffering and suffering, and they will not hesitate to shed blood and sacrifice. They are real boys and daughters. After further observation, the basketball student felt that these words were indeed her words. The basketball students believe in Lin Xuelin. Not only do they think she is a progressive young man, but they also know that Lin Xuelin loves him deeply. Lin XueLin has shown love to him several times, but every time he politely refuses. It was last month. The two were in the baking room that day, Lin Xuelin finally couldn't control her feelings and hugged him tightly. It was raining heavily at that time, and there were only two of them in the tea room, and no one would come in for a while. At that time, the basketball student shuddered and froze for a while, saying that it was impossible, and pushed Lin Xuelin away. Lin Xuelin was sad, covered her face with her hands, and turned and ran out of the tea room. Seeing Lin Xuelin's back in the rain, the basket student felt distressed. To be honest, the basketball students love Lin Xuelin from the bottom of their hearts. Not to mention her family background, as far as she is smart and beautiful, it is really hard to pick one from a hundred miles. Lin Xuelin felt very happy to love him, but he did not dare to accept this love. He buried his love deeply in his heart. He knew that his life had been handed over to the party and to the revolution. He was afraid that if one day he fell, he would never be able to get up again, and Lin Xuelin would be affected by that time. So he always restrained his feelings, and only treated Lin Xuelin as a younger sister. The

basketball student thought of asking Lin Xuelin to help him because he knew Lin Xuelin was familiar with Wang Datou. Wang Datou was originally a guard of Wen Shaobo. He used to go to Lin Zhongtao's house for tea with Wen Shaobo. Through Wen Shaobo's relationship, Wang Datou was transferred to a very lucrative post last year, working as the stationmaster of the checkpoint at the North Gate Ferry of Chaozhou City. People from Yixi, Guihu, Wenci, Fenghuang and other places went up to the city and took a ferry closer from the north gate. The North Gate Ferry is very busy all day long. Wang Datou guarded the ferry, used his power to blackmail the people and molested women, making him notorious. When the people mentioned his name, they scolded him. But cursing is useless. Unless you don't go to the city, you still have to lower your head and accept the examination obediently when you arrive at the ferry.

After listening to the introduction of the basketball students, Lan Chun came to ponder for a while, and said: "The situation is urgent now, so it seems that it has no choice but to do so. However, I have to say. Feelings belong to feelings and cannot be forgotten for personal feeling Organizational discipline!" Lan Chunlai said something harshly afterwards.

basketball students said: "Don't worry, I will be a bachelor for a lifetime, and I will not forget the revolutionary mission on my personal sentiments!"

Lan Chun said: "Well, just remember." Then he told the basketball students to enter the city. Later, I went to No. 3 Jiadi Lane to find a man named Li Sanbao. He was an underground traffic officer, and he was in his early 50s. He had already prepared the medicine. Lan Chunlai also said the secret code of the joint. After the basketball students silently wrote down the secret signal, the two discussed the details of the operation. It was about midnight when the basketball students came out of the barbershop. At this time the rain was still ticking down, and several dog barks came from a distance.

After going to work the next morning, Lan Sheng went to the picking cafe to find Lin Xuelin and said that she would discuss something with her. Lin Xuelin thought it was a production issue, so she followed the basket. After entering the baking room, the student closed the door.

Lin Xuelin joked: "Brother Lansheng, you don't want me to sell salt with you?"

Lansheng lowered her voice and said, "No, no, why would I ask you to do that kind of thing?"

"I'm not afraid, as long as you say something to Brother Han Sheng, I will go with you." Lin Xuelin tilted her head, lowered her voice, and said seriously, "Will you go now or tonight?"

"Xue Lin, I'm not joking with you, I have an important thing to tell you."

Lin Xuelin turned around halfway, twisting her clothes with her hands, then squinted at the basket student and said, "Important thing." It's important to you, but not necessarily important to me!" The

basketball student took a step and said to Lin Xuelin: "Xuelin, there is really something important."

looked at the basketball student with a little sincere face. Anxiously, Lin Xuelin felt a burst of infinite warmth in her heart. How often she hopes that the basketball students can talk to her, even if it is a few words, she will be excited for a long time. Lin Xuelin hugged the basket student in this baking room that day, but she pushed the basket student away, not to mention how painful her heart was at the time. She didn't understand why she gave so much enthusiasm, but the basketball students never felt it, and even treated each other with almost cruel indifference. Fortunately, a few days later, the basketball player took the initiative to apologize to her and repeatedly explained that he did not think he was worthy of her and did not dare to love her. Lin Xuelin's eyes were red at the time. She said she was worthy or not, as long as we love each other, and repeatedly asked the basket student whether she loved her. In order not to hurt Lin Xuelin's heart, the basketball player can only say that he waits for him to consider it. Just now the basketball students approached her and said that there was something important, so she guessed it might be said.

"What's the matter, don't you?" Lin Xuelin glanced at the basket student again as she said, her heart was pounding.

"Xue Lin, really rightSorry, I kept concealing my identity in the past. "

" Did you hide your identity? "Lin Xuelin stared at the basket student, and said suspiciously.

"Yes, I concealed my identity." I... I am a Phoenix Mountain guerrilla. "

" What, you are..." Lin Xuelin was surprised. She was half of her words, and quickly lowered her voice and said: "Brother Basketman, you...really..."

"Yes, I'm a guerrilla, two years ago When the team moved, I stayed and went to your tea house. "

Lin Xuelin was anxious, thinking that the basketball student said this to her to leave her, so she said: "Brother Lansheng, are you leaving, come to tell me?" "

" No, I won't go! "

" Really? "Lin Xuelin immediately became excited when she heard it.

"Really, I won't leave. I am looking for you because I have an important thing to ask you for help. "The

basketball student then told Lin Xuelin in detail about what to do. The basketball student thought that Lin Xuelin would refuse or express embarrassment. After listening to her, she said happily: "Okay, I was about to go to the city to play. I agreed to this, and I will leave now. "

" is not to play! "The basketball student said seriously.

Lin Xuelin pouted and said: "I just want to go to the city to play. "The

basketball student said: "I told you just now that this is an extremely important matter, which is related to the lives of more than a dozen comrades in arms. "

Lin Xuelin said naughty: "Well, I promised to help you, but how do you thank me?" "

" If I agree, I will invite you to eat Zhang Luo Guo's carrot cake. "

" Don't! Who cares about carrot cake? Not to mention Zhang Luo Guo's carrot cake, I don't even want to say Cai Luo Guo and Shi Luo Guo's carrot cake! "

" Then please have Luo Si's beef balls. "

" also don't! Who eats rare? "

" Well, how do you say I should thank you? "

Lin Xuelin stopped pursing her lips, she was very happy, and asked very seriously: "I told you that you should do it?" "The

basketball student nodded and said: "Resolutely do it!" "

" Well, you said this, but it's a puppy! Lin Xuelin held her chest up, closed her eyes, and said, "Hold me!" "The

basketball student didn't expect Lin Xuelin to make this request, and suddenly blushed. The basketball student joined the guerrilla team at the age of sixteen, and has played dozens of battles, and has never been so nervous. Lin Xuelin Her face is also a little red, her expression is full of expectation, idiotic anticipation, just like a long-dried land looking forward to the moisture of rain and dew. Lin Xuelin's expression moved the basket student and made him feel very happy. How good Girl! The basket student really wanted to hug her tightly and hold her for a long time. However, the basket student did not do so. After returning from the barber shop last night, he retreated and didn't want to ask Lin Xuelin for help. He really She was afraid that she was tired. It was only after thinking of the lives of more than a dozen comrades in arms that he finally became cruel. Asking Lin Xuelin to help pushed her into a very dangerous situation. The basketball students already felt sorry for her. He didn't want to be in the future. Let her suffer more emotionally. Because he knew that he would always leave her and leave her to return to the team. His life belonged to the revolution. He always obeyed the call of the organization.

Lin Xuelin closed her eyes and waited happily He held the basket student and hugged her, waiting for a while, Lan Sheng did not move, her eye sockets were hot. After waiting for a while, the basket student still did not move, she slowly opened her eyes. Lin Xuelin saw the basket student Standing straight, she didn't want to hug her. She bit her lip, held back the tears that were about to fall, and said sadly: "Brother Lan Sheng, you...do you really want me? "After that, two lines of tears fell. The

basketball player looked anxious and said, "No... it's not." "The more negative the basketball student is, the more Lin Xuelin feels that the basketball student is comforting her. She said: "Well...I promise you. Tell me when to leave. After Lin Xuelin wiped her tears, she lowered her head and turned to leave. The moment when the

basketball student saw Lin Xuelin turned around, her eyes were full of endless sadness. His heart was cut like a knife, and the courage that came from nowhere. She stepped forward and pulled Lin Xuelin, then stretched out her arms and hugged her tightly. Lin Xuelin suddenly felt as if she was electrocuted, her whole body numb, and she was holding the basket student tightly, with two lines of tears It fell down again. After a warm hug from

, ​​Lin Xuelin said, "Brother Lansheng, are you pitying me? ! When the

basketball student heard it, he choked up and said, "No, no, Xuelin...I...I love you!" "

Lin Xuelin raised her head, looked at the basket student with misty tears and said: "Really?"

basket student let go of one hand and wiped Lin Xuelin's tears, and said: "Really, I really love you!"

"Brother Basketman, with you, don't talk about the last trip to the city, even if you let me go to death now, I will not refuse!"

"Xue Lin, tell me the truth, is it you? You agreed to my request because you love me?" When Lin Xuelin heard this, she gently pushed the basket away, wiped her tears, lowered her head, and smiled and said, "Who...who cares about you?" Already red. The

basket student held up Lin Xuelin’s face and said seriously: “Xuelin, please answer my question directly?”

“Not all.” Lin Xuelin also replied seriously, “Brother basket student, I wonder if you remember , I once said to you that I admire the guerrillas who fought on Phoenix Mountain. For their ideals, they were not afraid of suffering, and they shed blood and sacrifice. They were real boys and daughters. At the time I didn’t know that you were the guerrillas of Phoenix Mountain. To be honest, I feel very honored to be able to do something for the guerrillas!"

"Xue Lin, I believe you!" The basketball student said, and hugged Lin Xuelin tightly.

Just at dawn the next day, a bamboo sedan was lifted to the door of Milu. Both bearers are about forty years old. They put down the sedan chair, one went in, the other squatted at the door and smoked the dry smoke. About a quarter of an hour, the bearer who entered came out carrying a rattan box, and then Lin Xuelin came out holding her mother's hand. Following them were Lei Xiangxiang, Qiao'er and Lan Sheng.

Lin Xuelin wears a satin cheongsam with white and yellow peony flowers printed on a red background. The cheongsam has a high collar, a narrow waist, and half-short sleeves below the knees. She is wearing a jade-colored sheep towel; she wears lightly. There is a round hair bun on the back of the head, and a silver hairpin is inserted in the hair bun. One end of the silver hairpin has a delicate small silver chain. When walking, the small silver chain is swaying, very Dynamic. Lin Xuelin dressed up like this, she was a noble lady, and she was totally different from her usually simple.

The bearer put the rattan box on the sedan, and then bent down to ask Lin Xuelin to get on the sedan. Although Lin Xuelin was only going to Chaozhou City, Fang Bizhu was traveling like a daughter, and could not come back for three or five years. Lin Xuelin was on the sedan chair, and Fang Bizhu held her hand and repeatedly told her not to be playful, and to come back after taking pictures, and not to go shopping at night, go to bed early and so on. In order to help the basketball students, Lin Xuelin lied about going to town to take pictures. Fang Bizhu originally disagreed, but Lin Xuelin was always entangled, and later learned that the basket student was going to go. After understanding a little in her heart, she agreed and asked Qiao'er to go together. Fang Bizhu agreed with her daughter and the basketball students in her heart, and hoped that the basketball students could become her son-in-law in the future, but after all, the two of them are not yet qualified, and they are worried that they will cause some discussion when they are together, so she asked Qiao'er to go together. , The daughter also has a care. Because Lin Xuelin can help the basketball students and go to the city with him, she has been feeling sweet since yesterday. Mother said a lot of nagging, but she didn't hear a word clearly, just nodding her head, her heart was already on the way. Here Fang Bizhu is telling her daughter, and over there, Lei Xiangxiang, who has a big belly, is giving an explanation to Qiao'er before leaving. The basketball player stood aside, his mood was very complicated at the moment. On the one hand, he needs Lin Xuelin to help him, because this is related to the lives of more than a dozen comrades in arms. On the other hand, he couldn't bear to let Lin Xuelin take such a big risk. If this matter is not handled properly, she would lose her life. Now, there is only one fight! The basketball students encouraged themselves like this.

got up the sedan chair, Lin Xuelin turned her head and waved to her mother and second mother. Her expression was relaxed, just like going to the city to play or take pictures. She was not trying to complete a special and very dangerous thing. task. Lin Xuelin's performance gave the basketball students a little comfort. Lin Xuelin waved, and Fang Bizhu and Lei Xiangxiang waved to Lin Xuelin. Although they are only going to the city and will be back tomorrow, it can be seen that the two of them are still a little concerned about Lin Xuelin. The basket student took a few steps and ran back. The other party Bizhu and Lei Xiangxiang said, "Mrs. Elder, Mrs. 2, don't worry, I will take care of the young lady." After saying this, he bowed deeply to them. The moment the basketball student turned around, he felt a tens of thousands of pounds on his shoulders.

The sun has climbed up the big mountain, and Huayuan Avenue is bathed in red glow. Today is the day to go to the fair. The fair is very lively. There are piglet sellers, rice, eggs, geese, ducks...cry, bargaining, and the cries of livestock. Because of the large number of people, Lin Xuelin's sedan chair walked very slowly. becauseBecause it was too early and there were no customers, Lan Chunlai squatted at the door with a few towels to wash, while washing, looking towards the avenue. Before the sedan chair arrived at the door, Lan Chunlai shouted: "Cousin, how about going to the city? It's early." Lan Sheng stepped forward and said, "Yes, yeah, accompany the young lady to the city. Cousin can ask for it. Tell me what to buy?" The two looked at each other. Lan Chun said: "No, no. The mountain road is not easy to walk, you have to take care of Miss!" Lan Sheng said: "I know, cousin." He said goodbye to Lan Chun. The security team of

Wen Shaobo set up a checkpoint in Houhe and Niugou. As soon as she arrived at the checkpoint, Lin Xuelin reported her and her father's names, and passed the check after a brief inspection. Along the way, Lin Xuelin felt infinitely comfortable with the green pines and cypresses, the fragrance of birds and flowers, and the beloved ones. If it weren't for covering people's eyes, Lin Xuelin would really like to walk by herself. The

basketball student walked all the way, repeatedly thinking about what was wrong with him. He should try his best to make this action foolproof. Fortunately, the journey went smoothly. It was noon when we arrived at the North Gate Ferry. There was no inspection on the north bank of the ferry. A few soldiers carrying rifles just stood by and shouted, urging people to go quickly. On the other side, things are quite different. Everyone must be searched whether they are going ashore or transiting by boat. There is a girl of seventeen or eighteen who is being examined. The girl was carrying a load of diabolo baskets, and it seemed that she came back from the city selling vegetables. A soldier with a crooked neck had a cigarette in his mouth, and kept touching her with his hands, touching the girl's chest and squeezing it a few times. Obviously this is not the first time the girl has experienced this situation. Apart from her face being a little bit shy, she did not scream or escape. She stood blankly and let him pinch. Seeing this situation, the basketball students burst into anger and cursed in his heart: "What a group of beasts! I should pack up!" But because of the heavy responsibility, the basketball students still tried their best to control the anger in their hearts. Lin Xuelin looked in her eyes, her face full of anger, and the student hurriedly gave her a wink, which meant she should pay attention to her expression. At this time, two soldiers approached them. The tall soldier walked and said, "Check! Check! Everyone must check." The short soldier walked over to search for Lin Xuelin's body. Lin Xuelin stepped back and said: "What are you doing?" The short soldier sneered with half of his golden teeth and said, "Hey, what are we going to do you still don't know? Search!" Lin Xuelin said, "Dare you!" The tall soldier walked over and said, " How dare you! Are you a communist?" The basketball student hurriedly leaned forward and said with a smile on his face: "The sir misunderstood, the sir misunderstood. This is my lady, the daughter of Lin Zhongtao, the owner of Phoenix Wuyu Tea House. We work in the city. "Yes." The short man yelled at Lin Xuelin just now, his face was very troubled, he said: "I don't care who is the daughter or the 100. Anyway, if you want to pass from here, you have to accept Lao Tzu's inspection, or be treated as a communist. "Lan Sheng said: "Sir, you have wronged my lady by saying that." The short soldier pointed at Lan Sheng, Qiao'er and the two bearers and said, "You...you...and you all want to search. Otherwise, it is also treated as a communist." The short soldier said that he was about to attack Lin Xuelin. Lin Xuelin said: "Slow, you must search, you can go and ask your station master to come out!" When the two soldiers heard this, they looked at Lin Xuelin at the same time. Lin Xuelin held her head high, as if she didn't put them in her eyes. This angered them. The tall soldier didn't know Lin Zhongtao. He thought, isn't it just someone's young lady? Lao Tzu is the biggest one who holds the ferry. He said: "Search!" He grabbed Lin Xuelin's hand. When the short soldier heard it, he rushed over. The basketball students knew that the two soldiers wanted to take advantage of Lin Xuelin. Lin Xuelin is wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam and a scarf. What can be hidden on her body? It's not clear at a glance. Even if you want to search, you should search that rattan box. Seeing that Lin Xuelin was about to be insulted, the basketball player strode forward, trying to grab the tall man's hand, but after thinking about it, he put his hand down. Fortunately, Lin Xuelin took advantage of the momentum and slammed and got rid of the tall man's hand. The basketball student said with a smile to the two soldiers: "The two chiefs really misunderstood. They are both from your own family. They have something to say." The tall soldier said, "Who is your own family, don't be close, I don't want to eat this. "Sir." said the basket student: "Sir, listen to me, listen to me... That's it, the boss of Lin Zhuang and your stationmaster are old friends. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask." The two soldiers don't know what basket student said. True or false, for a moment you look at me and I look at you.

Check out the three tiled houses lined up here at the ferry crossing. At this time, Wang Datou was lying halfway on the sofa in the house and smoking with his feet crossed. He heard the noise outside and thought something was wrong. He drew twiceMouth of cigarettes, then throw away the cigarette butt, got up and walked out, and said as he walked, "Who dares to come here to shame, throw him to me..." Wang Datou saw Lin Xuelin and changed his mouth as soon as he was half talking. Ah... isn't this Miss Lin? It's been a long time since I've seen him, and she's become pretty again." Wang Datou said and walked over with a grin. Lin Xuelin recognized Datou Wang as soon as she walked out of the house, but she pretended to be very surprised, looked at him, and then said: "Hey...Isn't this the stationmaster Wang? It's a blessing, I almost can't recognize him. Wang Datou said, "Haha...not the original monkey face." When Wang Datou was in Fenghuangwei, his nickname was Big-headed Monkey, because he was really thin and there was almost no meat on his face. Lin Xuelin said: "I am really blessed, and I am young." Wang Datou was praised, touched his chin, and said hehe: "Really! I...I don't feel it." The two soldiers were glad to see the situation. I didn’t start searching Lin Xuelin’s body just now. She hurriedly stood aside and said, “Stationmaster.” Lin Xuelin said, “It seems that Commander Wen didn’t recommend the wrong person. This ferry is strictly controlled by stationmaster Wang, even me. I was suspected of being a communist, and I wanted to search. Master Wang, what can I hide in my body, can I still use it to search?" Wang Datou's eyes were fixed on Lin Xuelin's high chest and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Faced, scolded the two soldiers and said: "Your eyes grow to the bottom? This is the daughter of the owner of Lin Zhongtao in Wuyu Tea House. Search, search, search your grandma's ears." The two soldiers said : "Yes!" just stepped aside. Wang Datou turned his face and smiled and told Lin Xuelin to come in for a cup of tea. Lin Xuelin asked Lan Sheng to open the rattan box for the two soldiers to check, saying that it should not make it difficult for Station Master Wang to do things, and then went in with Wang Datou. Naturally, the two soldiers did not dare to check carefully, but just took a cursory look. In fact, apart from a few pieces of Lin Xuelin's clothes, a purse and some cosmetics, there was nothing else in the rattan box.

Wang Datou was sitting next to Lin Xuelin, Lin Xuelin immediately smelled a stinky smoke on him, but it was inconvenient to move away, so she had to endure it. While making tea to entertain Lin Xuelin, Wang Datou asked her about Wen Shaobo and Weishang. Lin Xuelin originally hated Wang Datou, especially his crazy eyes. In the past, when Wang Datou and Wen Shaobo came to her house, she rarely said anything to him except for some polite words. But today is different. When Wang Datou asked, she answered enthusiastically. If Wang Datou didn't ask, she also took the initiative to tell him. Lin Xuelin said that she knew he was the stationmaster here, but she didn't know that he would also be on duty at the ferry, so she didn't bring tea. Please forgive him, and she will bring it next time she goes to the city. He also said that he drank his tea today, received his warm hospitality, and will definitely bring him two bottles of good wine in the city tomorrow. Lin Xuelin's words made Wang's head happy. Wang Datou took Lin Xuelin's hand and expressed gratitude again and again. Lin Xuelin knew that Wang Datou was eating her tofu, and she felt nauseous, but she said, "Master Wang, I will definitely bring you a good drink tomorrow, but you can't be greedy for a cup. If you get drunk and miss official business, I can't bear it. Get up." Lin Xuelin said affectionately and considerately, making Wang Datou eager to listen. He said: "Hehe...please rest assured, Miss Lin, I will never go wrong with drinking. Besides, it is the wine from Miss Lin. Why am I willing to drink so much at once? I have to save it and enjoy it slowly." The monkey eyes looked at Lin Xuelin in a fascinating manner, and the Mosha-like palm of Chai held her hand. Lin Xuelin said: "Well, I will bring the wine tomorrow, and there will be a copy of the head of the literary group. If you are not there, I can take it all back to the head of the literary group." Lin Xuelin smiled loudly. Wang Datou said: "Tomorrow I must wait for Miss Lin, and wait for Miss Lin." Lin Xuelin knew that Wang Datou had taken the bait. She gently pulled her hand back, saying that she had to hurry, and got up to leave. Wang Datou was a little unwilling, Lin Xuelin's sedan chair was far away, and he was still standing at the gate of the checkpoint and waving to her.

There are check cards at the east, west, south and north gates of Chaozhou City, as well as at the Shangshui Gate. They chose to enter the city from Shangshuimen. The Shangshuimen check card had the inside line of the guerrillas. The traffic officer Li sent information to the inside line yesterday, saying that the basketball players would enter the city to complete a special task. There are four soldiers standing guard at Sheung Shuimen. Lin Xuelin's sedan chair stopped at the door, when a young sergeant came over and asked her what she was doing in the city. Lin Xuelin answered that she would go to Kaiyuan Temple to worship Buddha and pray for her parents. The young sergeant looked at them alone, and then asked Lin Xuelin to open the rattan box. Qiaoer opened the rattan box. The young sergeant took a look, then took a lipstick and examined it, then put it back in place, and let them into the city. It was past noon at this time, and the sedan chair stopped in front of the Hu Rongquan snack bar on Taiping Road. Lin Xuelin asked Lan Sheng and Qiao'er to eat "Duck Mother Min", Lin Xuelin said that she likes to eat the "Duck Mother Minor" most. After Lan Sheng and the others entered, the two bearers went to the street to eat kueh juice. The two bearers are also guerrillas. Carrying the sedan chair is a person who can't go in with Lin Xuelin for fear of causing others' suspicion. After eating "Duck Mother Nun", Lin Xuelin and the others went to the Bafang Inn to stay. Lin Xuelin, Qiaoer, and Lansheng live upstairs, and two guerrillas dressed as bearers live downstairs. After a little rest, Lin Xuelin changed into a set of cheongsam, put on light makeup, and took Qiao'er, and went to the Yueyan Photo Gallery to take pictures in the sedan chair. After taking photos, go to Kaiyuan Temple to worship Buddha. These are arranged in advance, the purpose is to cover people's eyes and ears.

After Lin Xuelin and the others left, the basketball students went to Jiadi Lane alone. Lan Sheng found house number three, looked around, and found no one was following, so he knocked on the door lightly. After a while, a middle-aged man opened the door and stuck his head out. The middle-aged man wears a pair of glasses and looks gentle. He took a look at the basket student and said, "Excuse me, sir, you are..." The basket student said, "My name is Zhang and my name is Zhang Yi. I heard Mr. Cai say that you have some antiques to sell, so come and have a look." Middle-aged The man said: "Mr. Zhang, do you want to see porcelain or jade?" Lan Sheng said, "I want to see bronze." The middle-aged man said, "Excuse me, I don't have bronze." Lan Sheng said, "Then Just look at ancient paintings!" The middle-aged man said, "Mr. Zhang likes landscape painting or figure painting?" Lan Sheng said, "I like flower and bird painting." The middle-aged man said, "There are flowers and birds painting." Lan Sheng said in a low voice: "You are Comrade Li Sanbao." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Please come in!" Lan Sheng looked around again and went in. The middle-aged man closed the door casually. Entering the back room, the middle-aged man held the hand of the basket student tightly and said, "Comrade, you have worked hard." The basket student said, "It's not hard. Where is the medicine? The situation is urgent. I must send it home tomorrow." Said: "You are the only one?" The student told him how many others were coming together and staying at the Bafang Inn. The middle-aged man told the basketball students that there was a lady named Ms. Zhang who would deliver the medicine to the inn in the evening. Then he whispered to the basketball students' ears for a while, and told them that they should never go shopping at night. He said that there have been strict checks on the street recently, especially at night. The basket student nodded. The basketball students left after a while. The

basketball students returned to the inn and waited for a while before Lin Xuelin and the others came back.

When the afterglow of the sun was shining red in Chaozhou City, a rickshaw pulled a cart to the door of Bafang Inn and stopped, and then a young woman got out of the cart. The young woman was wearing a red cheongsam, holding a yellow sequin handbag in one hand and a bag of pears in the other. After getting out of the car, she handed the bag of pears to the coachman, then took out a small round mirror from her handbag and took a photo of her face. She touched the hairline lightly with her hand, and then put the small round mirror back in her handbag. Said to the coachman: "Come in!" The male waiter in front of the counter of

Bafang Inn saw the young woman come in, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and bowed his waist and said: "Welcome Miss Zhang! Welcome Miss Zhang!"

Miss Zhang's father No one else, but Zhang Zhixian, the prestigious chairman of the Chaoan Chamber of Commerce. In Chaozhou City, almost no one does not know Miss Zhang.

Miss Zhang said that she would exempt her, and then she asked the barman where a man named Zhang Yi lived. The barman looked through the registration book with trepidation, and then told her to live at No. 3 on the second floor. Miss Zhang took the bag of pears from the coachman and told him to wait at the door before going upstairs by herself. After returning from Jiadi Lane, the basketball student

waited nervously in the room. He didn't know if Miss Zhang could deliver the medicine smoothly. He finally waited for someone to knock on the door when the sun fell. It turned out that Miss Zhang came. After the basketball student and Miss Zhang confronted the secret signal, they greeted her into the room. Miss Zhang brought the medicine, and the medicine is hidden in the bag of pears.

The next day, the basketball students accompanied Lin Xuelin to the Yueyan Photo Studio to take photos, and then went back. As in the past, the inspections at Sheung Shuimen and North Gate Ferry are very strict. Fortunately, Sheung Shuimen is connected by internal lines, just like entering the city, passing smoothly. When Lin Xuelin and her party arrived at the North Gate Ferry, they did not immediately transition, but went directly to Wang Datou. Lin Xuelin went in by herself to see Wang Datou, and the others waited at the door. Wang Datou is a drunkard, Lin Xuelin gave him a few bottles of good wine and teased him with a few soft words, and he immediately became excited. In order to make Wang Datou believe that she came to play in the city, Lin Xuelin also showed him the photo she had just taken. Wang Datou looked at Lin Xuelin in a fascinating way, looked at the photos, swallowed his mouth, and touched the back of Lin Xuelin's hand. When Lin Xuelin left, Wang Datou sent her straight to the ferry. As the boat sailed, Wang Datou still murmured, "Xue Lin, on behalf ofI send my regards to the head of Wen and the owner of Lin Zhuang! Lin Xuelin said with a smile: "Don't worry, for sure!" "Lan Sheng and a few of them all smiled in their hearts.

Lan Sheng and the others walked to the Wenci vineyard and turned into a bamboo forest. A guerrilla was there to meet him. The Lan Sheng took the medicine hidden in the two lifting poles of the bamboo sedan chair. Come out, hand it over to the comrade, and then go back to Wei. The medicine was delivered to the wounded in time.

Lin Zhongtao's tea shop in Haikou opened on Tianjin Road. The two shops are connected, and each shop has three More than ten meters deep, the front is the counter, the back is the bedroom, the warehouse and the tea room. The shop number of the tea shop is also called Wuyu Tea House, which is the branch of Phoenix Wuyu Tea House. The opening date of the tea shop is scheduled for October 2nd. On the 12th, as soon as Lin Zhongtao arrived in Haikou, he laid out the shop non-stop, and then he wrote the invitation and went to visit the Haikou Chaozhou Association, and the president and directors of the Haikou Tea Chamber of Commerce. The people of the tea chamber heard that Lin Zhongtao made tea. The owners of Wang’s tea house all expressed their admiration and welcome. The people of the Chaozhou Association are not to mention their enthusiasm. They all say that the Lin’s business is the work of the Association. Boss Cai of the Wanchun Tea Company in Vietnam has already After receiving the letter and invitation from Lin Zhongtao, I also came to congratulate.

This morning, the Phoenix Wuyu Tea House on Haikou Tianjin Road was crowded with people, gongs and drums. The president and directors of the Haikou Chaozhou Association are here, Haikou Tea The president and directors of the chamber of commerce also came. About ten o'clock, the unveiling ceremony officially began. The president of the Chaozhou Association presided over the ceremony. First of all, Lin Zhongtao gave a speech. Lin Zhongtao first thanked the guests and friends who attended the unveiling ceremony, and then expressed Phoenix Wuyu The Chazhuang branch will abide by business principles in the future, and work together with the members of the Tea Chamber of Commerce to promote Chinese tea culture and open up Chinese tea markets abroad. Lin Zhongtao’s simple and sincere speech has won guests and friends present. Watching the warm applause of the crowd. Then, the president of the Tea Merchants Association read out the congratulatory letter. Then amid the crackling firecrackers, the president of the Chaozhou Association, the President of the Tea Merchant Association and Lin Zhongtao jointly unveiled the card. After that, the dance of the Chaozhou Association The lion team performed a lion dance. The whole unveiling ceremony was grand, brief, harmonious and warm. The opening of

Wuyu Tea House Haikou Branch made Boss Cai extremely happy. He said that doing business with Wuyu Tea House would be much more convenient in the future. Lin Zhongtao told him that when he decided to open a tea shop in Haikou, he was considering using it as a transit point for the Phoenix Wuyu Tea House, which would not only facilitate the old customers of Nanyang, especially Boss Cai, but also help open up more overseas markets. Lin Zhongtao’s vision and courage impressed Boss Cai very much. He said that in the future, he would work hard to make the business bigger and achieve a win-win situation. He immediately ordered dozens of pallets of tea from Lin Zhongtao, and the delivery time was before the Spring Festival. Lin Zhongtao told Boss Cai in the future. But he can ask for the goods directly from Lin Yi. He has rented a few warehouses here and will surely be able to meet the supply. Boss Cai said this is very good.

Lin Zhongtao came to Haikou this time to set a timetable for himself, no later than early November I have to go back. A stall that is so big at home, it is the end of the year, there are still many things to do, and Lei Xiangxiang is about to produce. On the second day of opening, Lin Zhongtao handed the tea shop to Lin Yi to take charge. Standing behind and pointing. Lin Zhongtao knew Lin Yi is very loyal to himself, but besides being loyal to running a tea shop, he should also know how to do business and how to make tea. Fortunately, Lin Yi was clever and easy to learn, and the two tea workers were both knowledgeable and diligent, and the tea shop's business quickly got on track.

Because Lin Yi entered the role very quickly, it didn't take long to manage the tea shop inside and out properly, and Lin Zhongtao went home with confidence.

The sun was very good that morning, and Steward Zhang was hanging up the shade cloth in front of the shop. Seeing Lin Zhongtao came back, he was so happy that he said: "Congratulations...Congratulations...Congratulations to the master for your precious son!" Lin Zhongtao heard: " Steward Zhang, what are you talking about?" Steward Zhang said, "Master, you just came back. The second wife was born before... and gave birth to a boy." Lin Zhongtao said, "You...you mean I have a son?" Steward Zhang said: " Yes... Yes, the master is so happy!" Lin Zhongtao threw the rattan box in his hand to Steward Zhang, and ran to the house like flying.

Lin Zhongtao ran into Ming Zhai's bedroom in one breath. When entering Ming Zhai, he almost collided with Qiuyun. Lei Xiangxiang was lying on the bed with a towel tied to her forehead. She had just fed the baby's milk, and the baby was sleeping sweetly beside her.

"Xiangxiang, I'm here, let me see my son, let me..." Lin Zhongtao couldn't help but feel happy, and when he entered the room, he realized that the voice was louder, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Let me see my son "

Lei Xiangxiang saw Lin Zhongtao and said with great surprise: "Master, are you back?!"

Lei Xiangxiang pressed her hands on the bed and wanted to sit up, Lin Zhongtao quickly motioned her to lie down, then walked over and took her hand and said, "I'm back, I'm back." Xiangxiang has worked hard! "

" is hard work, master! "I can't tell if it's excited, happy, or what, Lei Xiangxiang's voice is a little choked.

Lin Zhongtao looks at the inside of the bed, his son is sleeping soundly.

"Xiangxiang, is this my son?" ! After Lin Zhongtao said, he must touch his son's face with his hand.

Lei Xiangxiang said: "Master, your hand..."

"Haha..." Lin Zhongtao said, "Yes, yes, yes, my hand is still Not cleaned. "

Lei Xiangxiang laughed, and said, "Look at the master in a hurry." "

Fang Bizhu, Qiao'er, and Sister Li heard that the master was back and came here quickly. Housekeeper Zhang, Xuelin Lin, and Lan Sheng also came from the tea house. Ming Zhai became lively. The child was just born a few days ago and was still resting. The child People who are safe within 12 days of birth are known as the "overla" period. These 12 days are called the "rest period". During these 12 days, the house cannot move the locks or move the furniture, and must keep quiet. Lin Zhongtao said something to Lei Xiangxiang After speaking, I went to the back room with everyone.

Lin Zhongtao briefly introduced the situation of Haikou Tea Shop, and then asked Fang Bizhu about the birth date of his son and the situation of the nurse. Fang Bizhu wrote a piece with the birth date of his son The eight-character red paper was handed to Lin Zhongtao and told him that the nanny had already invited him and would come in a few days later, and all matters concerning the worship of the gods were also arranged. According to the rules, the child must worship the gods after 10 days of birth. Lin Zhongtao is grateful. Looking at Fang Bizhu, he said, "Bizhu, I'm not at home these days, you have worked hard, thank you! Fang Bizhu said, "Master, what do you say thank you, this is what I should do." Besides, what's the hard work of family affairs. It is said that it is good to be at home for a thousand days, but it is difficult to go out. To talk about hard work, it should be the master. "Lin Zhongtao said: "Men, I can't say it's hard to go outside. Where can I get a career without hard work? Where does it succeed? "Steward Zhang said: "Master is right, right. Lin Zhongtao went on to say: "With such a stall at home, when you meet Xiangxiang to produce, you work hard, I understand in my heart. "Sister Li said: "Master, you don't know. When the second wife was giving birth, the eldest wife didn't get a glance for two days and two nights." Fang Bizhu said, "Sister Li, don't talk too much." "He said to Lin Zhongtao: "Master, don't listen to her nonsense. "Lin Zhongtao looked at Fang Bizhu affectionately. In front of so many people, Fang Bizhu lowered her head embarrassingly.

Lin Zhongtao took his son's birthday eight characters and happily went to the Yuzhai Japanese House to ask Mr. Liu to calculate, knowing His son's five elements were lacking in fire, so he named him Jihui. Lin Zhongtao hoped that his son would inherit the family business in the future and make Wuyu's business more brilliant. When his son was full moon, Lin Zhongtao set up forty tables of banquets, which was grand And the level of excitement, needless to say.

is the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. As soon as Mr. Zhang’s abacus sounded, the business and profits of Wuyu Tea House this year are both 40% to 50% higher than that of last year. Smile. Every year from the 24th of the twelfth lunar month to the fifth day of the first lunar month of the following year, it is the time for tea workers to have a holiday. On the twenty-fourth of the twelfth lunar month, they must drink wine and give out red packets. This is the rule set by Lin Zhongtao’s grandfather Lin Xin. So many years have passed. Now, Wuyu Tea House has never broken this rule. This year not only has business good, but also added a semicolon in Haikou. Lin Zhongtao decided to give tea workers a 50% increase in red envelopes compared to last year, and the finished banquet will also be more than in previous years. Rich. The recipe for the finished banquet was finalized by Lin Zhongtao himself. There are a total of 12 dishes, including fried shark fin with osmanthus, braised bird's nest with rock sugar, steamed crab with silver silk, baked abalone with orange, five-spice stewed goose paw, diced chicken in tea leaves, Fried koi with tomato sauce, fried lobster with olive oil, fresh bamboo shoots and boiled snails, pumpkin with taro mash, Bafang Gonghui, Wuzitongdengke, etc., all of which are Chaozhou famous dishes.

Twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, in Wuyu Mountain Tea Except for one person, all the tea workers in the shop arrived at the Weishang tea house in advance. Early the next morning, the tea workers cleaned the inside and out of the tea house, and then some washed the tables. Washing chairs, some dishes and dishes, some dishes and pots. Several chefs specially invited from the restaurant kill fish and cut meat, cook vegetables and make soup. After a busy period, at noon, the twelve tables of banquets are opened on time. As in previous years, the banquet was placed in the tea room of the tea house. The tea room is very spacious, and it can be tidied up, and dozens of tables can be placed at the same time. When the banquet is opened, Lin Zhongtao will first give a speech to thank the tea workers for their hard work over the past year, and then briefly introduce After understanding the development ideas of the tea house next year, I then brought Fang Bizhu, Lei Xiangxiang, Lin Xuelin and Zhang Guanjia to each table to toast. The banquet laughed and laughed, and the wine was overflowing.Clinking glasses, yelling, yelling... alcohol accompanied by joy, laughter accompanied by applause, the joyful and lively atmosphere reached a boiling point.

A tea worker just walked away after a toast to Lin Zhongtao, the smile on Lin Zhongtao's face slowly reduced, and then he sighed softly. Steward Zhang was sitting next to Lin Zhongtao, and Lin Zhongtao's changes in expression and mood could not hide his eyes. Steward Zhang asked Lin Zhongtao in a low voice: "Master, are you feeling well?" Lin Zhongtao looked at Steward Zhang, shook his head and said, "No!" Steward Zhang said, "The dishes are not well done?" Lin Zhongtao said, "No, I suddenly thought of someone." Steward Zhang said, "Oh..." Steward Zhang estimated that Lin Zhongtao thought of Lei Xiangxiang's grandfather or Lin Yi who was far away in Haikou. One is his relatives, and the other is a buddy who loves his father and son. At this moment of joy and excitement in Juzhuang, when they were not present, butler Zhang believed that Lin Zhongtao would be a little bit sad. Steward Zhang knows that Lin Zhongtao is a man of love, sentimentality and righteousness, and a soft heart, but it is difficult to see him show it unless he is in a state of drunkenness like now.

"Master, did you remember..." Steward Zhang tentatively.

Lin Zhongtao picked up the wine glass with a grunt, drank half of the wine in the glass, and said, "I...I think of Wengu Mountain." Everyone at the

table looked at Lin Zhongtao.

Lin Zhongtao said: "I really think of Wengushan. If he doesn't happen, I won't drive him away, and today he will be like everyone else, drinking happily and lively here. "

Steward Zhang said: "Master, you don't have to be sad, Wen Gushan was fired by the master, that is his own responsibility."

Lin Zhongtao said: "No, I later learned that Wen Gushan is actually a victim, he is just one. A chess piece used by others."

Lin Zhongtao was silent for a while, and said: "Steward Zhang, do you know how he is now?" Steward Zhang said: "This...I heard that his situation is very bad. From our tea After Zhuang went out, he wanted to enter Wenheng Tea House, but the owner of Wen Zhuang refused to enter. Other tea shops did not dare to do so. He was not up to date. Not only did he fail to absorb the lessons from the past, he simply stayed in the Chunxiao Inn. Lin Xiaofeng fooled around, and also learned to gamble. It didn't take long before he ran out of the money the master gave him. He couldn't live in Chunxiao Inn if he had no money, and Lin Xiaofeng ignored him. Later, he did some part-time jobs in the polder. The old man Chen, who sold shrouds a month ago, died. He was hired to carry the coffin. But I haven't seen him again recently." After listening to Mr. Zhang's words, Lin Zhongtao's face was gloomy.

Steward Zhang saw this, picked up the wine glass, smiled and said: "What am I doing? Today is so lively, but I instigated so much nonsense, which affected the lord’s drinking pleasure. Come, I will fine myself a glass." After all, let the wine dry.

Lin Zhongtao said: "Steward Zhang, please help me find out where Wen Gushan is, just say I want to see him."

Steward Zhang said, "Master, you..."

Lin Zhongtao said, "Do it!"

Steward Zhang said: "Okay, I'll do it later." After finishing the meal,

gave out a red envelope. With the exception of Steward Zhang, Lan Sheng and a few other tea workers who stayed in the tea house, the others took the red packets and went home one after another.

After Mr. Zhang distributed the red envelopes, he went to inquire about the whereabouts of Wengu Mountain. It was hard to learn that Wen Gushan had hired a person from Houhe half a month ago to open a tea pot, so he hurried to Houhe. When Steward Zhang saw Wen Gushan, he almost couldn't recognize him. When Wen Gushan was hired to carry the coffin a month ago, he lost a lot of weight. His hair is long and untidy, his beard is long and unshaven, and his clothes are ragged, just like a treat. After Zhang Guanjia explained his intention to Wen Gushan, Wen Gushan was very grateful, but said that he had no face to see Lin Zhongtao. Later, after repeated persuasion by Steward Zhang, he agreed to come to see Lin Zhongtao with him.

Lin Zhongtao's eyes went straight when he first saw Wengu Mountain. He couldn't believe that the man in front of him, who looked like a beggar, was actually the original master of Wudi Tea House. He sadly, pityingly, and guiltily asked Wen Gushan why he was so embarrassed. Wen Gushan dared not look at Lin Zhongtao, lowered his head, and said guiltily that he was sorry for him. Lin Zhongtao asked about the current situation of Wengushan. Wen Gushan's answer hesitated, probably saying that he was doing some part-time jobs, but he didn't say anything such as helping people carry coffins. Lin Zhongtao already understood what kind of life Wengushan was living, so he no longer asked in detail, explaining that Steward Zhang would wait to give Wengushan red envelopes and give him as many baskets as he could. As soon as Wen Gushan heard that he couldn't, he couldn't take the red envelope. Lin Zhongtao said red envelopesNot for him, but for his mother and children. Lin Zhongtao said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there is not much money in the family. As soon as Wen Gushan heard this, Huo knelt down to Lin Zhongtao, thanking him with tears, thanking him for his great kindness, and knocking his head three times in a row. Lin Zhongtao stepped forward to help Wengushan, and took his hand, saying if he wanted to, after the New Year, let him go to Haikou to help Lin Yi. Lin Zhongtao had this plan when he called Mr. Zhang to find Wengushan. Wen Gushan knelt down to Lin Zhongtao again, saying that he would work hard in the future, otherwise he would not be a human being. Manager Zhang saw Wengushan returning to the tea house, and he was very happy and moved. Manager Zhang is not only happy for Wen Gushan, but also moved by Lin Zhongtao.

The new year start date for Wuyu Tea House is set on the fifth day of the first month, and Wengushan will return to the tea house on the first day of the first month. On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, Lin Zhongtao called Mr. Zhang to find him and gave him a red envelope, which moved him greatly. Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, he came to Lin Zhongtao to pay a New Year's greeting, and then returned to the tea house to do some preparatory work before the start of construction. After the Lantern Festival, Wengu Mountain brought dozens of tens of tea to Haikou Semicolon.

fifteen

Wengushan arrived in Haikou semicolon and became Lin Yi's right-hand man. Six months after opening, the semicolon business accounted for half of the entire tea house, which Lin Zhongtao did not expect at the beginning.

Just as Lin Zhongtao was full of ambition and prepared to continue to use the Haikou semicolon window to further expand overseas markets, Japanese imperialism created the "Seven•Seven Lugou Bridge Incident" and launched a war of aggression to destroy the whole of China. On August 12, Japanese warships began to cruise threatening Shantou Port. There is a batch of tea leaves ready to be shipped to Haikou at Wudi Tea House. The cargo ship did not dare to go out to sea before receiving the news. After waiting for more than ten days at the pier, the Japanese warship was still not seen leaving. Wuyu Tea House was notified to retrieve the cargo. Failing to ship the goods in time, delaying the customer's business, Lin Zhongtao was anxious. On September 9, Japanese planes began to bombard Chao'an County indiscriminately. Chaozhou’s west railway station, county middle school, and power plant were all hit by heavy bombs. The city was forced to cut out power for three days, causing panic. In the face of the crisis of national subjugation, Lin Zhongtao stepped forward and quickly organized a meeting of the Township Tea Association to inform everyone of the situation. In the name of all members of the association, he wrote to the Kuomintang Raoping County Government and asked the authorities to actively prepare to resist the Japanese invasion. . The Kuomintang government in Raoping County, which has always been actively anti-communist, has already expressed its stance due to the situation and the local military garrison against Japan. They have made some passive preparations for war, promulgated a night lighting control system, called on all townships to dig air-raid shelters and so on. The head of the security regiment, Wen Shaobo, took the opportunity to ask Fenghuang Township to increase the "fighting fee", "gun fee" and "training fee". The mayor Lin Jinguang went to Lin Zhongtao crying and said that there was no money in the village and asked him for help. Lin Zhongtao said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, but he didn't say donations. Lin Zhongtao not only took the lead in donating fifty thousand silver dollars, but also actively mobilized other members of the Tea Association to donate money. Under the leadership of Lin Zhongtao, in just a few days, the whole township raised a total of 280,000 silver dollars for the Anti-Japanese War. At this moment, rumors arose in Fenghuang Township. Some say that the Japanese army is invincible and will soon attack the Phoenix; some say that places that advocate resolute resistance to Japan will be blown up by Japanese planes; some say that the Communist Party calls on the people of the whole country to unite and build a national united front in order to gain a The opportunity to breathe, when the time is right in the future, we will target the Kuomintang. Facing all kinds of rumors that confuse people and create chaos, the superior instructed Lan Chunlai and Lansheng to continue to conceal and protect the traffic station on the Weishang, while observing the movement on the Weishang.

Wuyu Tea House sells tea leaves overseas. There are two main sea routes for transportation. One is from Chenghai or Shantou wharf to Singapore, and the other is from Chenghai or Shantou wharf, passing through the mouth of the Pearl River, crossing the sea, and crossing the North Sea to Vietnam. Halong Port. On June 21, 1938, the Japanese army occupied Nan'ao Island and the situation in Chaoshan became increasingly tense. On October 23, the Japanese army occupied Guangzhou. The tension of the war, coupled with the threat of Japanese warships on the sea transportation route, the domestic and foreign business of Wudi Tea House fell into recession, and the price of tea dropped by 40-50%. Lin Zhongtao suffered the most severe test since he took over the tea house. Nearly a hundred tea workers in the tea house have almost been fired. This is the case for Wudi Tea House, and other tea houses are in a more difficult situation. The tea production in Fenghuang Township is in a huge dilemma. However, the disaster is yet to come.

February 10, 1939, only two days before the twenty-fourth lunar month. In the early hours of that day, the north wind was dying, and the stars and the moon were dark. The roar of airplanes and the swaying explosions of the earth and mountains shook the peaceful night sky of Haikou and exploded the sleeping land in Haikou. Japanese Army Iida Detachment and JapanWith a total of more than 10,000 people in the Navy’s Fifth Fleet, under the cover of aircraft and warships, they launched a landing attack on Haikou. Many people hadn't understood what was going on with that rumbling voice, they were already in a different place, and their bodies were broken. Where the bombs and shells fell, there was a burst of fire and crying. Before dawn, the Japanese landed on the coast between Tianwei Village and Rongshanliao in the northwest corner of Haikou. Lin Yi and Wen Gushan were awakened by the explosion in the middle of the night. At first they thought it was a thunderstorm, but then they heard the sound of an airplane and felt that something was not good. Lin Yi quickly put on a cotton jacket and opened the door. Then Wen Gushan, Chen Liang, and Liu Mingxiao also went out. Now, the roar of the plane and the explosion of the shells can be heard clearly, and the dark night sky in the distance flashes red one after another along with the explosion. Lin Yi told Wen Gushan and the others that the dog day is finally here.

For a period of time, the local Communist Party and Kuomintang garrisons have been actively preparing for the War of Resistance against Japan. Young students and the Women’s Salvation Association took to the streets to promote the Anti-Japanese War and launched donations. The tea shop also actively donated money that day.

Lin Yi and the others can't sleep anymore. While listening to the sound of guns, they estimated the intensity of the battle and the progress of the battle. At dawn, only sporadic gunfire was heard occasionally, and many people fled in the street. From their mouths, Lin Yi and the others knew that the Japanese army had landed and would soon arrive at Haikou. All the shops on the street were closed. In the afternoon, more and more people fled in the streets.

The Japanese army occupied Haikou the next day. The devils smashed shops, robbed things, shot and killed several shopkeepers who were obstructing them, burned dozens of private houses, and raped countless women. A pregnant woman who was in labor was the daughter-in-law of a rice shop owner. When the devil smashed the door, she smeared her face black with charcoal, and then hid in the attic where the sundries were kept, but was discovered by a devil. The devil wanted to rape her, so she struggled to get rid of the devil and ran into the street, but was chased by the devil. The devil stabbed her from behind with a bayonet, piercing her stomach, and she was killed on the spot. The devil didn't stop, and opened her abdomen with a bayonet, took out the bloody fetal corpse that was also pierced by him, and ran in the street laughing wildly.

Haikou, shrouded in blood and fire.

Lin Zhongtao’s tea shop was closed for a few days like other shops. On the fourth day, under the leadership of the traitor, the devil knocked on the door of each shop, asking the shop to open, otherwise he would burn the shop. Helpless, everyone had to open a store. The New Year’s Eve is approaching, Haikou, under the control of Japanese guns, is deserted and lifeless everywhere, no one sells New Year goods, and no one buys New Year goods, and there is no atmosphere before the festival. People's faces are as gloomy as a gray sky. Except for the devils patrolling the streets with plaster flags, there are few pedestrians. Occasionally, one or two pass by, and they are walking in a hurry.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, the sky was gloomy, and there was a drizzle in midday. At noon, the rain stopped, a biting cold wind blew, and the streets disappeared. Lin Yi and Chen Liang were about to close the shop when they saw a few devils walking towards the shop. At the forefront was a short devil and translator. The short devil had a pistol pinned to his waist and a Oriental sword hung on the other. The four devils carried bayonet rifles on their shoulders and followed the short devils and the translator neatly.

The short devil was named Miki and was a squadron leader. For generations of tea farmers, Miki has a large tea garden at home. For generations, they have been supplying tea to the royal family and are proud of it. Miki also planted tea before joining the army, and is considered to be an expert in growing tea. A few years ago, Miki's family took Shirakawa tea to participate in the Panama International Tea Expo competition, but lost to China's Phoenix Tea King. Miki has always been concerned about this. After the Japanese occupation of Haikou, Miki learned of the tea house where the tea king was produced, and opened a tea shop called Wuyu Tea House on Tianjin Road. Miki thought, by coincidence, this is really a good opportunity for me to avenge the Japanese Empire and the family. Today he brought an interpreter and a few soldiers.

Miki came to the tea shop, looked up at the sign that said "Wuyu Tea House" hanging in front of the shop, and the translator bowed and whispered in his ear. After a while, a sly smile appeared at the corner of Miki's mouth, and then walked into the store. Lin Yi didn't know what they were here for, so he stepped forward to say hello. Through an interpreter, Miki asked Lin Yi whether the most famous tea in Fenghuang Wudi Tea House was called Tea King. Lin Yi was surprised. He didn't think that the devil knew the tea king, so he could not help but look at Miki, wondering what he was coming from. Lin Yi was stunned and did not answer, the translator asked again. Lin Yi asked and said yes, he was the tea king who won the gold medal at the International Tea Fair in Panama. Miki burst out laughing. Miki’s laughter is like crying, making people listen to MaoHorrified. Wen Gushan and Liu Mingxiao, who were in the back, thought who was coming, and when they came out, they both stayed for a while. Lin Yi felt a little guilty, he didn't know why the short devil in front of him was laughing. Miki smiled and told Lin Yi to bring out the tea king. Lin Yi stopped what Liu Mingxiao wanted to say. Lin Yi asked Chen Liang and Liu Mingxiao to go in, and then told Miki that he had to place an order at the beginning of the year if he wanted to buy the tea king. Miki's face changed as soon as he heard it, saying what the tea king is and what prettiest it is. Lin Yi explained that it's not pretending to be expensive, only a few dozen catties a year, and there is really no store now. Lin Yi thought that the devil wanted to buy the tea king. A devil walked to the counter and used a bayonet to drop a pot of tea on the shelf to the ground. Hearing a bang, the glass jar containing the tea fell to pieces, and the tea was scattered all over the ground.

"You..." Wen Gushan clenched his fists and glared at the devil.

Miki stepped forward, without saying a word, Chaowengushan's face was a punch. Wen Gushan staggered and almost fell to the ground. Suddenly, two blood dragons flowed from his nostrils to his lips, to his jaw, and dripped on his chest. Wen Gushan was about to have an attack and pulled Lin Yi away.

Miki said: "What is the king of tea? It's a bachelor! You guys can grow tea? You can only raise pigs!" Miki said, and laughed like a cry. Several other devils and translators also laughed and laughed. Bent over.

Lin Yi was full of blood, and was so insulted by the devils that he really wanted to beat them up, but he gritted his teeth and held back. Miki saw Lin Yi’s expressions and actions, and he said: "Did your tea king win the gold medal at the Panama International Tea Fair, defeating our Shirakawa tea in the Empire of Japan? Today I want to see if it can For the monkeys to drink."

Lin Yi heard that Miki was very uncomfortable with the tea king's award. He said: "Taijun, holding an international tea awards event is a kind of exchange event. No matter which country or type of tea is awarded, there will be It is helpful to promote the production of tea and the exchange of tea culture in various countries. We have famous teas in China, and you also have famous teas in Japan, and each has its own characteristics."

"Haha...Joke, what famous tea do you have in China? Our Shirakawa tea is talented. It’s the number one in the world!” Miki pointed to the tea on the shelf and said, “Don’t talk about this rubbish, just use your tea king to gargle my mouth. I still think it smells bad.” Wen Gushan became angry when he heard it, and he sternly said. Said to Miki: "You are not allowed to insult our Phoenix Tea King, it is the pride of our owner's life!"

Miki said: "Insult? I want to dig it up."

Wen Gushan said bluntly "It depends on how quickly our Phoenix tea farmer's knives are sharpened." When a devil heard it, he put a bayonet against Wen Gushan's chest and said, "I'll dig your heart first!"

Miki motioned to the devil. Put down the gun. He said: "Wait, wait until our Empire of Japan's army leveled your Phoenix Mountain, and digging up the tea king, and making your owner proud, haha...haha..."

Miki smiled. , With a light wave of his left hand, several devils immediately stepped forward, picked them with bayonets, smashed them with butts, and picked the glass jars containing tea leaves on the shelves, smashing them to pieces. Suddenly, tea was scattered all over the floor, and the shop was in a mess. Wen Gushan clenched his fists again, his teeth clenched. When Chen Liang and Liu Mingxiao heard something being smashed crackling, they came out hurriedly, and their lungs exploded. The devil smashed the tea caddy and smashed the counter. Wen Gushan couldn't bear it any more, reached out his hand and grabbed the butt of a devil, and pulled it with the devil. Seeing this, another devil whispered something in his mouth, and at the same time a lunge stepped forward, and the bright white bayonet slammed into the stomach of Wengu Mountain. Wengushan screamed, trying to cover his stomach with both hands. The devil took the bayonet out and stabbed again, and then picked up the bayonet. Wengushan immediately fell to the ground, and all the intestines in his stomach flowed out. The blood is flowing like a shot. Lin Yi watched Wengushan fall to the ground, rushed over and picked him up, crying: "Brother Gushan...Brother Gushan..." Chen Liang also called Wengushan's name, and yelled Wengushan quickly with both hands on the ground. Held his intestines into his belly. Wen Gushan passed out, and Liu Mingxiao kept shaking his shoulders. The devils laughed triumphantly. Lin Yi and the others kept yelling Wen Gu Shan's name. After yelling for a while, the corners of Wen Gu Shan's mouth moved slightly. Lin Yi quickly moved his ears, but couldn't hear what he was talking about. Wen Gushan lost too much blood and died soon after. Seeing Wen Gushan pedaling straight, Liu Mingxiao stood up abruptly, picked up a stool and said, "Dog Japan, I'm fighting with you!" Liu Mingxiao raised the stool to the top of his head and was about to stab him.When the devils of Death Valley Mountain smashed over, Miki took out a pistol, and shot Liu Mingxiao's chest with two bangs. Liu Mingxiao spouted a stream of blood, fell down in response, twitched his feet, and died.

In an instant, two colleagues died tragically by the devil's knife and spear, and Lin Yi knew that the devil was avenging his defeat by the tea king for their Baichuan tea. He put down the mountain and slowly stood up.

"Haha...haha..." Lin Yi sneered at the devil, then pulled open the button on his chest, revealing a strong chest, and said to the devil, "Come on, it's because Baichuan tea is no match for our tea Will Wang take revenge? Kill, shoot here!"

Chen Liang strode over to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Yi, and bared his chest, yelling, "You son of a bitch, shoot, shoot!" This shot!" Facing the devil's guns and swords, Lin Yi and Chen Liang were righteous and undaunted. The devils were shocked all at once. The four devils with rifles pointed their guns at Lin Yi and Chen Liang, and stepped back. Miki also stepped back with the pistol, and said as he stepped back, "Yes...also..."

Lin Yi looked back at the two dead colleagues on the ground, and roared: "Shoot! You guys have knives and guns. To deal with our defenseless Chinese people, are you ashamed or ashamed?"

Chen Liang took a step forward and continued to yell: "Shoot! You can shoot!" The

devil took a step back.

Miki gritted his teeth with a fierce look, and squeezed out two more words from between his teeth: "I hope..."

Lin Yi also took a step forward and said, "Aren't you just coming for revenge? Now it's killed Two, there are two of us left!" Lin Yi laughed again after he said. Miki's face suddenly turned green and white. He asked Lin Yi, "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Yi said, "What are you laughing at? We are happy! The four of us died, and we died for the tea king. Glory, death deservedly, this is what you made us. But I think you are very pitiful."

Miki became angry, he said: "You fart, our Great Japan Empire soldiers are invincible, why should you be pitiful?"

Lin Yi said: " Because Shirakawa tea lost to our tea king, you waited for the plane to kill and retaliate. Don't you think this kind of behavior is despicable and pitiful?"

Miki said nothing for a while.

Lin Yi said: "Why don't you think about how our tea king won?"

Miki did not answer, but he knew from his expression that he wanted to hear what Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi proudly said: "Our tea king tree has been 700 years old. For 700 years, it has experienced countless winds, rains, frosts, and ice cold, and it still stands on top of our Phoenix Mountain. Although the teashe is barren, it is luxuriant and fragrant. Why is it? This is because it has a long history, a tenacious life, and an indomitable spirit. This is just like our Chinese nation! We China The nation has a splendid history of five thousand years. Although we have experienced countless ups and downs, have fallen and been insulted, and are now being ravaged by you invaders. However, our national spirit will not fall, ours The people will not fall, never will! I firmly believe that one day, we will definitely defeat you, just like our tea king defeated your Shirakawa tea!"

"Stop it! Don't say it!" Miki Qi Shaking all over, he fired three shots at the ceiling board, then angrily ordered the other devils to say, "Hurry up and burn this tea shop!"

The two devils took out the lighter and rushed into the room. Lin Yi and Chen Liang wanted to stop them. The other two devils took Lin Yi and Chen Liang to the corner with guns, and the four of them pulled them up. Two devils who entered the room smashed the kerosene lamp and lit the quilt and mosquito net. After a while, it burned inside. Lin Yi and Chen Liang tried their best to push the devil away and rushed into the room to fight the fire. The devil took the opportunity to light the counter. Suddenly, the tea shop was raging and smoke billowed. The devil flew away.

When Lin Yi and Chen Liang rushed into the room, the fire inside was already very hot. The two rushed to the fire here, and the fire there started again. The black smoke carried the heat, choking them out of breath. Seeing that there was no hope of fighting the fire, Lin Yi wanted to take the account books of the tea shop and rush out. In the panic, he couldn't find the key for a while, so he asked Chen Liang to help him smash the table. While coughing, the two raised the table and slammed it on the ground. After a few smashes, the table finally fell apart. Lin Yi quickly picked up the account book, pulled Chen Liang and rushed out. At this time, the fire between the counters was also very fierce, and several containers fell to the ground in a wildfire.Xiong and the wooden shelf were already on fire, and people couldn't get out at all. Lin Yi took Chen Liang and returned it back to the inside, then stuffed the account book to Chen Liang and ordered him to say: "This is the account book of the tea shop, the current accounts of the business, and the accounts owed by the merchants. You must remember them clearly. You have to hand it in. To Village Master Lin!" Lin Yi picked up a leg of the table from the ground, smashed the windowpane of the rear window with a few squats, and then squatted on the ground, telling Chen Liang to crawl out of the window with his body . Lin Yi coughed more severely. One corner of his clothes was on fire. Chen Liang wanted to help him put it out. Lin Yi said, "Leave me alone, go!" Chen Liang coughed and said, "Then you..." Lin Yi said "Quickly go, or it's too late, quick! Quick!" Chen Liang stepped on Lin Yi's back with tears in his eyes and crawled out of the window. When

waited for the neighbors to know that the tea shop was on fire, the fire inside and outside was already burning fiercely. The situation was very critical. Some neighbors were holding the washbasin while knocking and shouting for the fire. Many people immediately came to fight the fire. However, due to insufficient water sources, the fire quickly engulfed the tea shop and spread to the surrounding area. In a hurry, everyone demolished several houses and blocked the fire, but in the end did not cause a wider fire. In addition to Lin Zhongtao’s tea shop, more than a dozen neighboring shops were also burned in the fire. There was crying on the streets of Tianjin.

Besides, after Chen Liang crawled out of the window with tears in his eyes, he stretched his account book and joined the fire fighting with the neighbors. In the evening, with everyone's help, Chen Liang found three charred corpses in the rubble still with green smoke.

On the second day, when the first ray of sun of the New Year was shining weakly on the earth, Chen Liang buried Lin Yi, Wen Gushan, and Liu Mingxiao in the suburbs. After half a month, Chen Liang finally waited until there was a ship across the sea, so he got up and took the boat first, and then returned to Phoenix by land from Zhanjiang. Before leaving Haikou, Chen Liang went to Lin Yi and their graves to burn incense and worship them. He picked up some incense ashes, wrapped them in paper, and held them in his arms, and then called them by name one by one, saying that he would take them home. When Chen Liang talked about taking them home, tears were welling up, and he couldn't cry.

Chen Liang returned to Phoenix and saw Lin Zhongtao in the back room. Chen Liang only called the owner of the house and fainted. Lin Zhongtao quickly pressed among his people. Fang Bizhu, Lei Xiangxiang, and Qiuyun were also present. Fang Bizhu hurriedly fetched ten thousand gold oil and put it on his temple, while Lei Xiangxiang took his hand and kept calling his name. After tossing for a while, Chen Liang woke up. After Chen Liang woke up, he cried loudly. While crying, he took out the paper bag wrapped in incense ash from his arms, and then took out the account books from the bag, and then told the crime of the devil's murder and arson in Haikou. Lin Zhongtao listened and snarled: "The devil of dog days, I Lin Zhongtao will not forget the blood debts you owe!"

Chen Liang held the paper bag with trembling hands, choked and said: "Brother Lin Yi, Brother Gu, Ming Xiao Brother, you are home, and the owner is welcoming you." Chen Liang said, crying again. Fang Bizhu, Lei Xiangxiang, and Qiu Yun also cried. Lin Zhongtao's tears were also blurred, he walked over to take the paper bag, and stared at it for a long time. After a while, the tears fell down. He choked and said, "Lin Yi, Gu Shan, Ming Xiao, you are home..." Suddenly, there was a cry in the hall. After a while, Lin Zhongtao said again: "Lin Yi, Gu Shan, Ming Xiao, you and Chen Liang are all good-looking. In front of the enemy's swords and guns, you did not lose the face of Wudi Tea House! You did not lose the face of the Chinese. ！！ Lin Yi, Gu Shan, Ming Xiao, three of you, died for the dignity of the Chinese, died for the tea king, you died well! But, Lin Yi, Lin Yi, I’m going to scold you now, you have to rush into the back room to get it What are the account books for? I still don’t believe you, don’t I believe you? What if people have debts? Is no matter how much money is more important than life? If you don’t go in, maybe you will still be alive now..." Lin Zhongtao said At this point, I couldn't talk anymore, and started to cry bitterly. After crying for a while, Lin Zhongtao went on to say: "Lin Yi, Gu Shan, Ming Xiao, you were born as the people of Wudi Tea House, and you died as ghosts of Wudi Tea House. Next year’s New Year’s Eve is your anniversary, and I will let the whole The people of the tea house are here to pay homage to your souls. Don’t worry, one day, I will bury your bones on Wuyu Mountain! One day, I will avenge you!” Lin Zhongtao said and ordered Steward Zhang went to buy a niche and an incense burner, and said to the people present: "Lin Yi, Gu Shan, and Ming Xiao died for the tea house and for the tea king. From now on, I will worship them every year and festival!"

(To be continued)

An appointment has been set, so everything is unimpeded- Haomiao

(1)

"Dear upper bunk, I will returnComing. "A humble voice sounded at the door of the dormitory.

"Don't move!" Look at it, lift your feet up, don't kick the trash away, I have cleaned up for a long time! "I dropped the rag I was holding in my hand, and hurriedly turned around and yelled at the door of the dormitory. When I shouted at

, ​​the director half raised his left foot to the door of the dormitory, dumbly at a loss. It was like the door of the dormitory. There is a bamboo pole that is about one meter and eight meters long, and a bag of dangling luggage is hanging on the bamboo pole.

"Then how do I get in, your rubbish piles up. "Across a long way, I saw the head of the room with the words "sullen and sad" on his face.

"Forget it, don't come in, you wait for me to go out, and then we can clean up the garbage together. "I reached out and picked up the Coke and a few trash bags on the table next to me, and then carefully moved along the wall to the door of the dormitory.

"How come our dormitory has become so messy and there is so much trash." "The director said.

" Last time we caught up with Yongjin and was almost expelled from school, we were not in the mood to clean up. Later, Yongjin was saved by Brother Hui, we rushed home and the garbage was confiscated and left," I Put down the bottle of Coke on the table, took out a few garbage bags, "Stop talking nonsense, and help collect this garbage, or we will sleep in the garbage tonight. "

" Good, good, but when I drink my mouth water, I'm almost dehydrated when I come here just like throwing it in the dryer. Give me a sip of Coke. "The head of the room picked up the Coke I just put on the table, and the action was so natural that I didn't react and didn't stop him in time.

"Damn! What are all this stuff? "The director swallowed the Coke he drank and finally found that something was wrong.

"Coke, isn't it written on this bottle?" "I pointed to the bottle in the head of the room manager.

"Why is there no breath at all?" "The director closed the bottle cap and shook the half bottle of Coke in his hand vigorously.

"Normally, this bottle of Coke was thrown here before the holiday. After dozens of days, it would be hell if I got angry." "

" Damn! "Hearing what I said, the head of the room immediately grabbed a garbage bag from my hand, then squatted on the ground and began to pick his throat.

"Don't pick it, your fingers may be dirty than this bottle of Coke." Why did you do it, you're so thirsty, you can't buy water on the road. "I said.

" I wanted to buy water, but I found out that I had forgotten to bring my wallet halfway through the ride. "

" You can forget you, don't lose it. "I said.

"Yes, wow, maybe it's lost wow, I haven't considered this problem. "The head of the room patted his forehead. At this moment, my cell phone rang. I took it out and found that the monitor was calling me, so I connected to the phone and spoke a few words to the monitor. I hung up the phone, and the head of the room was looking through the luggage he just put aside. I asked him, "What are you doing? "

" I want to call my mother to check if I forgot to bring my wallet, but why can't I find my mobile phone. "The director didn't look up, so the sweat from his forehead dripped one by one on his duffel bag, but he didn't have the mind to raise his hand to wipe it.

"Don't look for it," I put my phone in In his trouser pocket, I looked around and wanted to find two paper towels for the manager to wipe off his sweat. "Your wallet is really lost at home. The monitor called you because your mother answered the phone. Your mother asked the monitor to tell you that you forgot to bring your wallet. "

" What? "The head of the room was dumbfounded, "Why did my mother answer the call from the monitor?" "

" Obviously," I finally found two crumpled but clean tissues in the drawer of the table and handed them to the head of the room. "Not only did you forget to bring your wallet, you even forgot your mobile phone at home. "

" Uh, it seems so. "The director half-opened his mouth, finally trying to understand the problem.

" Wipe off the sweat and come to work. I will get you some water soon. "I shook off the garbage bag in my hand and started to dispose of the garbage on the ground.

" By the way, what did the monitor call you for? "The director also started to help me.

"What? "I heard him ask me that, stopped the dragging motion in his hand, and kept looking at the head in a strange position, "You mean you don't know why the head is calling me? Don't you forget why did you come here early? "The head of

shook his head in confusion: "I don't know. The memo in my mobile phone remembers to come to school early, butI forgot to write down what I wanted to do in advance, so I forgot. "

I threw down a bag full of garbage in my hand, and I was silent for a while before saying: "Is such a memo still meaningful?" "

(2) The head of

sits on the small bench in the corner of the warehouse of the National Normal University library, carefully counting the textbooks for the seven courses to be taken next semester.

has his spine straight, his eyes widened and his head is big. Khan, the little finger of his left hand was raised high, and the sultry air made the chief of the room roll up his trouser legs, revealing the swaggering leg hair on his calf.

This is really "the picture is so beautiful, I dare not look at it".

Come back to my senses and continue to work on my work: Follow the list of "Computer Professional English" that the head of the room has settled, and divide them into stacks according to the number of people in each dormitory of our class, and then put them aside.

At this time, the iron in the library warehouse The door was pushed open, and the rusty door shaft rubbed and made goose bumps.

"Why did you close this door? It's too boring inside. Didn't I show you a chair to block it from closing when I left? "The squad leader who opened the door came in. With a bag of drinks in her hand, she said as she picked up the chair by the door and placed it in front of the open door panel to prevent it from closing. When the squad leader turned around, I saw the clothes on her back. I got a big wet.

"Here, Coke. "The monitor happily took out a bottle of Coke from the plastic bag and gave it to me.

"Oh, it's been iced!" Where did you do it? "When I took over the Coke that the monitor handed me, I found that the Coke was frozen.

will officially start class tomorrow. Let alone the canteen at school, the cafeteria has not opened yet. It is difficult to buy drinks at this time, let alone frozen. It’s a Coke.

"Haha, I know, be surprised. I bought it from the supermarket outside the school. "The squad leader akimbo, took out another bottle of frozen Coke with one hand and held it high. Probably in the squad leader's imagination, she was flashing lights behind her at this moment, with a ribbon floating on her head, and at the same time the "Dangdangdang" BGM sounded.

"Awesome, amazing. "I nodded and bowed, as I unscrewed the lid of the Coke. Then I put the mouth of the Coke bottle to my mouth, and when I raised my head, the bubbling liquid whizzed across my tongue. I lowered my head and let out a long breath.

The squad leader took the Coke she bought "over the mountains and over the mountains" and handed it to the room leader. The room leader lowered his head, and awkwardly counted a stack of "Database Application Technology" with the palm of the "Orchid Finger". The squad leader suddenly jumped in place. After a while, he shouted at the head of the room's left ear: "Hey. "The head of

shuddered, the stack of "Database Application Technology" in his hand fell off, and he looked up at the monitor with wide eyes. I drank Coke and counted them very diligently. For eight seconds, the room head The dementia was relieved, and it turned out that he was being pranked.

He held his head and put his fingers in his hair: "Ahhhh, what are you doing, I have counted thirty or forty books, and you shouted like this It's all messed up. "

" Hahaha. "A standard smirk on the squad leader's face, two corners of her mouth raised high, I almost feel that if she opens up a little bit, the two corners of her mouth will be grinning to her temples. The squad leader

handed the Coke in her hand to the room. Chief: "Hey, take it, take it, you all rest for a while, I'll take it. "The

squad leader and other room leaders took the Coke in her hand, no more nonsense, opened the tattered sack that was originally filled with textbooks, but now it was empty. For a while, the dust was flying and the musty smell was overflowing. It took a long time. The squad leader finally pulled a small stool out of the pile of torn sacks, and then pulled over the "Database Application Technology" that the director had counted half of the inventory.

"Hey, squad leader, why don't you ask more people to come and help, you Seeing that a bunch of people work together in other classes, it's done all at once. "The head of the room swallowed Coke, while speaking vaguely.

"I called, but I said I was not free." Do summer work, travel or something. "The squad leader said while counting, and there was no pause.

"But who... By the way, that green, isn't she here? I saw her in the morning. I even said hello to her, why didn't I call her to come and help. "Said the director.

"I can't move. "Squad leader said.

"Why can't you call it?" Are you not the monitor? Why can't I call a deputy squad leader? You see, I am also a deputy squad leader. I will be here as soon as you call. "The head of the room naively continued to shake out his questions. The squad head of

originally counted the movements smoothly.It slowed down, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

I suppressed the movement to scratch my head. The reflex arc of the director is really long and straight like the trajectory of the bullet flying out of the barrel. I hiccuped, bumped the elbow of my right hand on the left rib of the head of the chamber, and then raised the index finger of my left hand to the front of my mouth and made a silent motion.

"Eh, monitor, can you count while talking?" I said. The monitor of

continued to count smoothly, and then she answered my question: "It's very simple. I remember the number of people in each dormitory in the class. The number of people in each dormitory ranges from four to eight, not more than ten. This kind of number can be distinguished at a glance, and there is no need to count it in a book." In other words, the monitor alone did the work of the room leader plus half of my work. In this way, the manager and I are left with hard work.

"By the way, deputy squad leader, there is a selection of ‘excellent class leaders’ this semester. I leave a place for you to participate in the selection." The squad leader continued to use her dual-purpose skills.

"Oh, this place has finally fallen on our boys' side. I thought that apart from drudgery, this kind of good thing is not our turn." said the director.

I coughed and said, "It's okay. Although I have the qualifications to participate in the selection, this is not for voting. Besides our eight votes, who will vote for this person." I snorted to the director. .

"The girl, I will help him privately. There should be a lot of people voting for him. No problem, it's on my body." The monitor put down the last stack of "Database Application Technology" and said confidently .

I sat in the last row of the classroom, occupied a table, and read novels seriously. In front of me sat the old man and the director. The old man slept on the desk very diligently, and the head of the room threw a tissue next to the old man's mouth to prevent the old man's saliva from flowing onto his lap. The teacher on the

podium started writing on the blackboard. She took a white chalk and wrote a swash English word on the blackboard. I hurriedly lowered my head. The forty English words written in white chalk on the entire blackboard looked like a huge white spider web. Looking at it more, I felt that I would feel sick and foamy in the mouth for a while.

At this moment, someone moved while the teacher turned around. The

class leader took the book across the aisle between the desks and sat down in the empty place next to me.

"I said why you were sitting at a table by yourself today. It turned out to be peeking at novels and not paying attention in class." The class leader leaned over to read the book in my hand and lowered his voice to mock me.

"It's like this. I felt sick during the vacation, so I went to see the doctor. After checking inside and out, I found that I was allergic to English. When I saw the English words, I would have a runny nose and yawn. Wait for allergy symptoms."

"Fart, blow, continue blowing." Teacher

has finished writing and started to lecture again. At this time, I found that a classmate in front looked back to me and the monitor, so I lowered my head and almost put my face on the table: "Come on, you didn't take the class seriously."

"Haha, this kind of This is a small case, I have already signed up to take the English Test Band 8." I heard what the monitor said, and I was speechless for a while. The squad leader pretended to read a book, but actually turned his face toward me. Jiaohao's white face didn't show a stubborn expression, but I think if the conditions permit, this girl will definitely jump up because she has defeated me.

"Well, I won't tease you anymore. I came here to talk to you about business." The squad leader raised his hand and slammed his back. The head of the room straightened his spine abruptly and turned his head vigorously. The hair on his head moved to one side following his rotation. The head of the room thought it was me poking him in a prank, so he didn’t even look at it, and said: "Your uncle..." After half of the words, the head of the room suddenly realized that it was the squad leader who was poking him, so he abruptly took what was in his mouth. I swallowed the vulgar words, and bluntly connected the second half of the sentence: "...How are you? I wish him good luck in the East China Sea and a long life than Nanshan."

The monitor and I were so bluntly rounded up to round the words back. It sprayed, but we could only hold it back during class, and our faces turned red.

At this moment, I found that the previous classmate looked back at me again. This time she and I looked at each other and then turned away.

I took a breath, stabilized my emotions, raised the palm of my right hand and waved it down, and said to the monitor: "Calm down, calm down, and I will be kicked out by the teacher in a moment. Let's keep quiet and don't disturb others. "

monitorNodded, then she craned her neck and put her face on the head of the room manager to speak: "Hey, deputy squad leader, all other dormitory votes have been voted, and your dorm is missing."

"Um, I forgot." Room He twisted his neck with difficulty, turned his head and spoke in a low voice, which caused his voice to be distorted like his neck.

"I knew you had forgotten it. If you hadn't forgotten to bring your cell phone to school, your cell phone would have been blown by me." The class leader poked the room leader's spine hard, and the latter snorted.

"Quite your anger, it's okay, it's still too late, isn't it just our dormitory? Of course all eight of us voted for the room manager. Did the voting result come out after we voted, how, is this guy rated? "I changed the subject to the director again. The class leader

opened her "Computer Professional English", which contained a "Professional English Level 8 Vocabulary" and a list. She opened the list with a pen and ticked it and said: "This time, including your room manager. A total of two people participated in the selection. With your eight votes, your room manager has 23 votes. Our class has 45 people, so another classmate has 22 votes. Your room manager leads by one vote."

"Oh! , The director has 23 votes for this kind of goods. I thought that the one who suffered a thousand dollars at most would have 8 votes." Hearing this, the director stretched his right hand to the back and raised his middle finger at me.

"Don't say that this time it is really hanging. Another student who participated in the selection is different from yours. Their dormitory is shared with students from the math class. Only 4 people in their dormitory belong to our class. There are 8'friendship votes' on your side, which is 4 more than hers," the monitor put the list into her book again, "but I want to tell him, if I can help him canvassing votes, he really hasn’t So many votes."

"Yes, I worked hard for the squad leader, but it turned out that I asked the squad leader to treat you..." I stopped half of my words because I found that the classmate looked back for the third time. The monitor and I are here. I scratched my head and looked at the old man with my probe. This guy continued to lie on the table with a snot, and slept very peacefully, with no signs of being annoyed by us.

"It's fucking hell." I looked up again at the classmate who looked back at us frequently. I knew her. She was the second deputy monitor of our class, named Rao Lulu. The

squad leader saw that I was half-talking and then asked: "What are you doing?"

"Squad leader, who is the other student participating in the selection?" I asked.

"Bring green and green."

"Oh, that's it." I said.

The bell rang at this time.

(four)

pig brother brought a rice bowl and a bowl of free soup on the table where we ate, the director was seriously gnawing on a pork rib that basically had no meat.

Brother Pig sat down in the seat next to me and greeted me: "You guys also come to the cafeteria for lunch, why are you two and the others?"

"They are all busy, but I and the room manager are left to spend a long time. Mushrooms. Whoops, Brother Pig, you have a rich lunch." I squinted and looked into Brother Pig’s pot. Two oily chicken legs lay peacefully on top of all the meals, like those on a mountain. Gems, shining brightly.

"You have two chicken drumsticks for a meal? Such a luxury." The head of the room stared at Brother Pig's drumsticks with a mouthful of white rice. If the eyes can eat, then Brother Pig looks back at his rice bowl at this time, and he will find that there are two clean chicken thigh bones on his rice bowl.

Brother Pig did not answer the manager’s question. He just pulled the rice bowl toward his body, hit me with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Hey, hey, look, the girl over there is pretty It looks good."

"Where? Where?" Both the director and I immediately put down the hand holding the spoon, straightened our waist, and raised our heads to look around.

"There, you look over your room manager's left shoulder." Brother Pig lowered his voice and leaned in to tell me.

I lowered my head slightly, delivered a spoonful of rice to my mouth, and looked up behind the head of the room opposite me by swallowing, and I immediately spotted the girl. She was wearing a white T-shirt, a black pleated skirt, and a light blue shirt tied around her waist. The shirt drooped slightly to cover her plain white legs. The air around the girl

was as clean as it had been washed in and out with water.

"Cut, but so." I said in a low voice, preparing to lower my head and continue eating. The room manager sitting across from meLooking towards his own left shoulder, he saw the canteen aunt in the canteen serving food window waving her glittering arms, carefully wiping off the small sweat beads on her forehead with a sleeve soaked in various soups . The corners of the head's mouth drooped down, and then he said: "I understand that different people have different aesthetics. But, Brother Pig, your taste is really...too heavy."

Brother Pig opened his mouth wide. Looked at the head of the room and looked at me again, and then he said: "I suddenly felt that the reality of studying in the same school with the same grades as the two of you is a great insult to my IQ."

"Hey hey hey," I knocked on the rice bowl, "You said that I can understand my manager, but you have no basis for taking me."

"Why is there no basis. Brother, you have to know more girls of this level? Even if you earn two eyes, it will be worth it in your life to be able to say a few words to her. And you actually said to me'but that's it.'" Brother Pig took a chopstick and poked at me a little bit.

"Cut, are you as for? Just two sentences, how difficult is this."

"You brag about you, you really can say two things to others, I will give you both chicken legs." Brother Pig knocked the rice bowl with his chopsticks and made a "Dangdangdang" sound.

"You said it yourself," I immediately raised my arm and waved at the girl, "Squad leader, please come over." The

squad leader, who was the "girl" that Brother Pig said, waved at me. Then walked towards the dining table where we were: "I just happened to want to go to your dormitory to find you. I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Look for us? What's wrong?" I asked the monitor. Although the monitor of

is a bit nervous sometimes, she said that something is really something, and it is probably a serious matter. The squad leader is different from the team leader who suffered a thousand dollars. For example, one day the head of the room suddenly told me that he had something to discuss with me, so 80% of him was so boring that he was moldy and wanted to play games with me. So I ignored the pig brother who was sitting on the side, and the middle finger that had touched the ceiling to despise me.

"The result of the last vote was that you got one vote higher," the monitor said to the room leader, "but this result was accused of being'unfair', and you may have to vote again."

"This... …Who said'unfair'?" The head of the office was vague with rice in his mouth.

"Who else is there. Those who really pay attention to the issue of'fairness' will be raised in the voting process. Now that the results come out and say'unfair', then it is not clear who is'accusing'?" My tone was a bit blunt, and my voice increased unconsciously. Squad leader

probably did not think that my reaction was stronger than that of the room leader, and she did not speak for a while.

"What do you want? The results are out. Do you have to vote again. But after a while, I get more votes, so what should I do? Do you vote again until she gets more votes than me?" Say.

"No, that won't be enough. Student Rao Lulu meant that our votes were all the votes of each dormitory in private and gathered at the head of the room, and then the heads of each room sent the results to me. She blamed' "Unfair" is that the process is not open. She is asking our class to hold a meeting with the three links of canvassing, voting, and singing. Honestly..." The monitor spread his hands here, shrugged, and looked at me. I said the next sentence, "I think there is nothing wrong with her saying that."

I scratched my hair and stuck out my tongue. The squad leader pursed his lips at me and then said: "It's okay. I just walked around the various dormitories. Even if I voted in a'fair' way, the result will be the same. Besides, there is nothing to worry about. The original vote was To be fair, what I did was just let the people who voted know who they were voting for was more qualified."

"Squad leader, it's really hard work. You bothered to put this mud on the wall." I pointed to the director and said .

"Get out!" The director reacted immediately, rare.

"Haha, I'm not kidding you. After class tomorrow morning, stay in the classroom for a meeting. You can tell me in your dormitory. I have something to do. Let’s go."

"Hey, hey, your goddess is gone , Don't you want a contact information or something?" I saw that the squad leader had gone away and said to Brother Pig who was sitting next to me.

At this time, I saw Brother Pig holding a chicken leg in each of his left and right hands, eating left and right, gorging himself.

"Brother Pig, are you crazy! Eat slowly, don't choke." The head of the room was separated from me and Brother Pig by a dining table, and he stood up, Like me, stretched out his hand, wanting to chop off the chicken leg that Brother Pig had eaten halfway. Brother

flexibly avoided the attack between me and the director, and took another two bites of chicken legs. Then he threw them down and said with a gleeful mouth: "Let you pit my chicken legs, I have eaten them now. See how you pit it."

"You won." The manager and I both gave thumbs up at the same time.

Brother Pig took out a tissue from his trouser pocket and wiped the sparkling oil on his mouth: "Does the vote you mentioned just now mean the vote for the'excellent class cadres' of your class?"

"Yes, what are you doing? I know." I pushed aside the bottomed rice bowl, took out a tissue, and handed one to the head of the room.

"Our class is also doing this recently, because of this, the class has made a mess. I advise you to give up and forget it. It is better not to waste your efforts on the empty bamboo basket. GG as soon as possible, do something meaningful to life It's a matter."

"Why? I think I am more qualified than her." The director shakes the tissue and wipes his mouth.

"You have just heard it yourself. Your opponent is now in a state where he doesn't even need his face. Qualification is a fart, and our class is not fighting for the bonus of this'excellent class cadre'. Alright."

"What? There's a bonus for this?" The manager and I were taken aback.

"Look, you haven't understood the stakes of this until now, so I told you not to bother. The green and green in your mouth, you can't beat her, after all, she doesn't even have a face .Unless you are more shameless than her. Is it okay to be realistic, two uncles, this is not a novel, there are not so many for granted. Bonuses, or it should be said that the money factor is very important, you can’t see through this in the end. It was a terrible loss."

"Oh..." The manager and I replied to Brother Pig with a long tail. The pig brother

seemed like a peerless swordsman who had just swung a shocking sword, and he was unhappy at the height. So I stopped talking nonsense with us, and seriously dealt with his lunch that had no chicken legs. The head of

slammed the table, and the spoon on the dinner table bounced. The pig brother who was drinking the soup shivered, and a small half bowl of soup was spilled on his crotch. Even so, he couldn't take care of it at all. He just asked the director with a demented expression: "What are you doing?" The director of

said: " I understand. Look at what you just said'follow my left shoulder'. Because you are sitting across from me, I should look behind my back, not the left."

pig brother was dumbfounded and turned his head slowly. I.

"He is like this, you will get used to it after staying with him for a long time." I patted Brother Zhu on the back.

"Damn, is your head's brain circuit a mosquito coil? It goes around so many turns." Brother Zhu couldn't help but explode.

(5) The male dormitory of

Normal University is an old building. It is said that it has a history of several decades. The circuit of the whole dormitory is twisted like a spider web. For safety, the boys’ dormitory has a strict light-off system, and the entire building always turns off the lights on time every 11 o'clock in the evening.

So, I can only walk through the dark corridor to the toilet at the end of the corridor while greeting this nonsense system and the high cost of repairs.

Vaguely, I always hear a second footstep besides me in the corridor. Sometimes a third, fourth or even more footsteps will be heard.

I kept looking back and forward carefully, confirming that I was the only person in the entire corridor.

But when I stepped forward again, there were footsteps other than mine, as if I was following an established ghost.

Every boy who lives in the male dormitory of Normal University will encounter this phenomenon when he gets up at night. The scholar

explained this phenomenon to me in detail, and he told me very confidently that this is an acoustic phenomenon, and it is called "calling" with a sense of technology, vibrating echo. The corridor of the male dormitory of the Normal University has serious acoustic defects. The sound of footsteps will continue to reflect on the walls of the corridor without disappearing, causing this "ghost trailing" phenomenon in a quiet night.

When passing by the public bathroom, I looked inside and found that the light in the bathroom was on. I immediately stretched out my arm to pull off the switch outside the bathroom, and then looked down and up the stairs next to the bathroom. If the master in charge finds that the bathroom of our dormitory is not powered off, then as a punishment, the electricity bills of all dormitories on our floor will have to be doubled this month. Okay floorThe upstairs and downstairs were all quiet, and the master supervisor probably hadn't come up to patrol the building. I breathed a sigh of relief and turned and went into the toilet opposite the bathroom.

After solving the problem, when I came out of the toilet with a shake of my hand, I looked up and found that the light in the public bathroom opposite the toilet was on again, and the pale light fell like a curtain.

I clearly remember that the switch in the bathroom was just taken off by my hand, so I went to the corridor and found several wet footprints on the floor under the switch. From the direction, I judged that someone was walking from the bathroom. Go out and pull the switch back to the bathroom.

I scratched my head. In the middle of the night, what kind of neuropathy was still doing in the bathroom? I stepped into the bathroom door and looked inside. Although the old faucet in the bathroom cubicle is tightened, it still drips from time to time, just like the heartbeat of a dying patient, intermittently, sometimes. I coughed loudly, stepped on the pool of water beside my feet, and made a constant popping noise. After waiting for a while, no one else responded.

I shrugged, turned and stood on the threshold of the public bathroom, yawned and stretched. I think I was in a hurry to go to the toilet and remembered it wrong. I didn't pull off the switch at all. The footprints on the floor are probably the last night my classmate went to the bathroom to wash his face after going to the toilet.

At this time, footsteps sounded behind me. I didn't look back this time, I wanted to reach out and pull the switch off and go back to the dorm to sleep, regardless of the damn "trembling echo". I stretched out half of my hand and stopped suddenly, and I realized that I didn't move at all, so now the sound of footsteps behind me is not "trembling echo", but real footsteps.

There is really a person hidden in the public bathroom late at night! This person is standing behind me now, and I even heard his breathing! That person

stood silently behind me like this, and I began to tense gradually, and the muscles in my back began to contract and tighten, like a spring that was slowly compressed to accumulate energy, waiting to be released at any time.

In this way, we faced each other for more than a minute, when the person behind suddenly let out a "uh" sound. I immediately bounced forward. Before landing, I turned around to face the person behind me, and then quickly raised my hands, crossed my forearms forward, bent my legs slightly, and assumed a defensive position. The man and I looked at each other in silence through our forearms.

looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and we said at the same time: "Fuck, you are crazy!"

was the room manager standing opposite me.

"What are you doing, standing behind me for most of the day without speaking, I thought it was a thief entering the dormitory." My voice trembled a little, and seeing that it was the head of the room, my nerves tightened like a clockwork finally relaxed.

"Uh, I thought you were doing this suddenly. It scared me." The director also touched his chest, then I noticed that he was still holding a stack of manuscript paper in his other hand. .

"You blame me, I coughed for a long time and you didn't respond, and then suddenly came out and stood behind me without saying a word. Who scared anyone, say it yourself."

"Uh, I didn't expect you at this time I will come out, I can't react for a while, I forgot what your name is, and I can't remember it for a long time..." The director said more and more quietly, and finally lost his voice, and smiled embarrassedly.

"You...this...I...reck!" I was also tossed by the director to lose my temper. It feels like I have to send this roommate who has lived in the same house with me for three years back home to show my dad. When I was a kid, the bicycle chain I rode was too long, and my dad could cut the chain short and connect it again. By the same token, if the reflection arc is too long, my dad can cut it short, and tie it with a bow or Chinese knot.

"Why are you hiding in the bathroom in the middle of the night?" I noticed the stack of manuscript paper in the head of the room manager, and also found a pencil in his left ear.

"Oh oh, didn’t the monitor tell me what to canvass for the day? I feel like I’m going up like this for a long time and I don’t know what to say, so I think about it slowly and write it down when I think about it. I just sorted it out and read it tomorrow That's it." The director shook the manuscript paper in his hand at me.

"You know what you know." I reached out and took the manuscript in his hand and looked at several lines carefully, and then I started to look at it. Finally, I flipped through two pages and looked at it roughly, but I didn't finish it. Then he handed the entire stack of manuscript paper back to the room manager: "Why did you hide in the bathroom and write this?"

"I'm afraid that you will be disturbed in the dormitory when you sleep. How is it, how is it written?" The room manager held him up late. Write it downThe manuscript brought up his face.

I stared at the pitted face of the director: "It's good, don't write, go to bed early." The director of

patted my shoulder: "Haha, if you say yes, it must be all right, then I’m relieved. You go to bed first, and I’ll change the typos or something, and wait and see how I will kill him tomorrow. I nodded, watching the director turn around and hid in the bathroom and started to change his Manuscript. I stopped talking, turned my head and walked to the dormitory, the crackling "trembling echo" sounded again. When I reached the door of the dormitory, I looked back in the direction of the bathroom. In fact, I can't see the head of the room when I stand at the door of the dormitory, but I can still see him in the bathroom with a pen in the bathroom, turning off the light in the pale day.

"For a bonus, is it necessary to fight like this?" I just sighed, entered the dormitory, and closed the door.

(six)

"Squeeze in and make a place for me." Brother Cai, wearing jersey shorts and sneakers, walked through the back door of the classroom to find me sitting in the last row accurately.

"Why did you come?" The last row of the classroom is different from the other seats. It is a long bench, so I moved aside to make room for Brother Cai.

Cai is not big, this bench gives us two seats and there is room for us. I waited for Brother Cai to sit down and wanted to speak to him. A sense of oppression suddenly struck from one side of my body, and then transformed into a real force. I was squeezed to the side immediately and stuck to the wall like a pancake. on.

"Don't squeeze, don't you have enough seats next to Cai?"

"I don't want to, but the brother next to him doesn't agree."

"Who? Which one is the one who gets a thousand dollars?" I didn't expect Cai There are people next to me.

"I, I, and I." Brother Pig's fatty face appeared next to Brother Cai, and he was pointing an oval-shaped finger at his face.

"Why are you here, Brother Pig? You moved aside, I was squeezed by you." My hands were pressed, or I would push Brother Pig out.

"Everyone is acquaintance, it's good to squeeze, this is a good opportunity to promote a harmonious bilateral relationship. Besides, I'm not feeling well. Brother Cai, your bones like a cactus hurt me. Can you eat more, don’t make it as if the normal university cafeteria is sorry for you."

"Brother Pig, don’t tell me any diplomatic rhetoric, you haven’t answered my question yet. Why are you here? This is The class meeting of our class." Brother Pig moved aside, showing half of his butt outside, and I could finally sit up and talk.

"I originally wanted to find you guys to play games, but I couldn't find anyone in your dormitory, so I wandered around, but when I met Cai Ge said that you were holding a class meeting here, I came to watch the fun."

Is this serious business, okay?"

"Stop making trouble, what's going on now, has the room manager gone up?" Cai Ge looked at the podium and asked me.

"No, the person above has been speaking for more than half an hour and hasn't finished it yet." I spit on the podium, who is holding the manuscript paper and spitting on Rao Lulu.

"You listened to such unnutritious nonsense for more than half an hour. I really admire it. I was trembling all over and my hands were trembling when I heard two sentences. Do you have any tranquilizers for me?" Pig Brother said.

"That's because you forgot to take medicine when you went out. You can't blame others for this." I mocked Brother Pig. But although Brother Pig's words are exaggerated, he is actually right. Rao Lulu did say "non-nutritive nonsense for more than half an hour." In fact, I don’t understand what Rao Lulu’s request to canvass for votes means. As far as I can see, although she speaks passionately, but in fact, what she said is nothing more than some beautiful and polite empty words. Just heard it out. From the current point of view, I actually think that reading out his manuscript for a while, the director will have unexpected results.

At this time, Rao Lulu finally finished reading her manuscript. She put down the manuscript paper, glanced at everyone under the podium with a smile, and finally stopped her green eyes on the head of the room who was sitting in the first row ready to go on stage, and then one corner of her mouth was stretched exaggeratedly to one side and then upward. To form a "√".

I suddenly felt something was wrong. The Cai brother beside

suddenly sat up straight, pig brother took out the phone and opened the phone camera with a shortcut to start the video recording function.

I just wanted to ask Brother Pig what is this for?Rao Lulu on the podium began to speak again: "That's what I want to talk about. Finally, I have a little suggestion. I suggest that students participating in the selection of "Excellent Class Cadres" cannot vote for themselves or accept roommates. Vote to ensure fairness."

"Fuck me!" I said. The swear word

is as clear and loud as the sound of a spontaneous explosion caused by uneven heating of glass windows in winter.

Rao Lulu glanced at me with a very conspicuous smile, then bowed to the people under the podium, then raised her head and walked off the podium to find a conspicuous seat to sit down.

"This woman is really shameless. According to her suggestion, the director lost eight votes, and she only lost four votes."

"Her suggestion will not be accepted. How can she change the voting rules? Changed." Brother Cai answered.

"Then what does she mean by these words?" I asked.

"Do you think that these few words she said plus his contrived expressions in the process are very awkward?" This time it was Brother Pig who answered my question, he curled his neck and hid behind the phone , Staring at the phone screen.

"That's right, I'm very ugly!" I nodded viciously.

"Then why don't you go up and squash her?"

"The protagonist of this story is the room manager, not me. If I went up to squat, she pushed the room manager to an embarrassing position. The room manager didn’t have any reason. That's it." I answered Brother Pig.

"Yes, yeah, this analysis is correct. If I'm not wrong, this is the purpose of Rao Lulu, but if you have a head here, it will be difficult for you to do it for a while."

"Fortunately, our side...I rely on it!" I suddenly remembered that there really is a character on our side who jumps up when excited.

I turned my head vigorously and looked in the other direction, and every cervical vertebra made a "click" one after another under such rapid movement.

However, Yongjin just sat in his seat calmly and motionless.

"Calm down. Since I was almost expelled last time, I've lost a lot of temper." Brother Cai said.

At this time, the head of the room stood up, ready to go to the podium.

I breathed a sigh of relief and applauded, "Isn't this Rao Lulu using Yongjin, the original instability factor, to deal with the room manager?"

"It's possible, to be honest, I didn't expect to be a fool to enter this place." This time I didn't run away unexpectedly." Brother Cai was also relieved.

"This Rao Lulu has such a deep mind. However, the emotions of Yongjin and the room manager have not been provoked. The next vote should go smoothly."

"Pull it down, even if it is smooth for you to choose the room manager. Yes, the final voting result has to be invalidated. People have already said that as long as one of you voted for your room manager, the one named Rao Lulu will'reasonably' deny the voting result." said Brother Pig.

I was a little speechless for a while, and I said to myself: "It's just a small class to vote. As for using so many routines?"

Brother pig ignored me because the head of the room was already standing on the podium, ready to start his futile canvassing .

(seven)

room manager stood upright on the podium and looked at us with his head down, without saying a word.

We sat under the podium seriously and looked up at the head of the room without saying a word. After the head of

stepped onto the podium, the whole classroom fell into such an atmosphere of "confrontation", as if a string was constantly being stretched, and everyone in the room would be affected by the sharp blast when it was released.

In such a bleak atmosphere, Brother Cai hit my waist with his elbow, and then asked me in a low voice, "Mr....Isn't he forgotten to bring the manuscript."

"What? No, this. The goods will not be written all night and then forgot to bring it." I said. Brother Cai glanced at me: "Isn't the head of the room such a person?"

I was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it, Brother Cai seemed to have nothing wrong with this sentence.

"What should I do then? Is it too late for me to run back to the dormitory to get the manuscript for the room manager?" I scratched my head.

"Hehe, maybe when you come back from a lap, your head's hair will be white. Then you can only sigh:'Time is easy and never goes back, the past can only be recollected'." Reply to me like this.

I looked at Brother Pig’s greasy face, and thought about whether using a trick "Tianma Meteor Fist" to hit Brother Pig’s face would cause "oilSplashing.” When I was thinking about half a minute and twelve seconds, something unexpected happened to me. The director of

started to speak. He stood upright on the podium with his hands free and looked squarely. Forward. Just like a primary school student reciting the text under the teacher's inspection, the tone does not fluctuate.

"Oh, did you memorize the manuscript? "Brother Pig said from the side.

"No," I rolled my eyes and thought for a while, "It shouldn't be. The director wrote the manuscript only in the early morning. In theory, there is no time to memorize it. "

" Then he is improvising. "Brother Pig said.

" Do you believe this sentence? "

" According to what I know about your room manager, he can't do ‘improvisation’ operations. You see, he speaks too smoothly, he didn't stop thinking at all, his reaction was not so fast. "

" I believe that the head of the room is improvising. Listen carefully. What the head of the room is talking about is his work as the deputy squad leader. You don't need to think about these things. He is just citing examples. "Brother Cai analyzed very calmly and reminded me and Brother Pig.

I chewed on the director’s speech and realized that the facts were indeed what Brother Cai said. The director was purely stating the facts, not like Rao Lulu. Every word, every word, every sentence carries a sharp sword. If you don’t stab people to bleed, you won’t stop. The director’s speech is like saying "1+1=2" to everyone. What do you need to think about? Yes. But thanks to the room manager staying up late to write the manuscript, otherwise according to the room manager’s memory, he would not be able to recall everything suddenly.

In the next 37 minutes, 44 people in the classroom I have been sitting quietly in my seat and listening to the "1+1=2" work report from the head of the room. People with determined will like Cai Ge, after 15 minutes of persistence, began to shake their legs constantly to dispel this It was a dull and boring time. At the end of the room manager, when he stopped, Brother Cai stomped hard and almost stepped on the sole of my foot. Squad leader

stood up and wanted to announce the next link, but the room manager raised his hand. Swinging to the squad leader: "Squad leader wait a minute, I still have something to say. "

instantly sounded a bunch of inhalations, and everyone started to exhale deeply and uniformly at the same time. And the more impatient like Yongjin have already scolded their mothers in place.

"I will make a long story short, I will delay you for another ten minutes. "The director clasped his fists. Everyone's resentment was so strong that the nervous director felt it.

"First of all, thank you all for your participation and listening to the nonsense that I have been talking about for so long." The director put down his fists and calmly Say, "But I think these nonsense is necessary, because the content described by these nonsense is the reason and confidence for me to stand here and compete with my opponent. A friend told me ‘money is a very important factor’, and now I finally believe this sentence, but I don’t agree with it. "

I looked at the head of the room, his eyes were bright, like a strong lighthouse in a storm radiating a strong light.

has never seen such a decisive head of the room. He said: "I abstain! "

Then, the head of the room walked off the stage and left the classroom. Brother

pressed the stop button of the camera and said, "Good job!" "

(eight)

When I returned to the table with two bowls of free soup from the cafeteria, Brother Pig was sitting on my seat with his legs upright, holding a toothpick and humming a song, his face facing me. Lunch.

"Brother Pig, stay away from my food. You are here wherever you go. "I put down two bowls of free soup and yelled at Brother Pig.

"Hey, hey, you guys have to be happy about it." As the saying goes, things are gathered by similarities and people are divided by groups. I often appear in your lives, which shows that you are growing up to be excellent people like me. "

The six people in our dormitory suddenly lost their words. They all stared at Brother Pig, thinking about whether to put the food in front of them on Brother Pig's head.

"I said Brother Pig, we usually take your team when we play games. Tortured like a dog. Do you have to hurt us so much? "The scholar on the side might be afraid that our heads would really be a waste of food such as "putting the food on Brother Pig's head", so he quickly said wittyly.

"Where is your room manager?" Why does your dormitory lack your head. "Brother Pig looks around.

" He helped us take the chopsticks. Brother Pig, you still dare to mention the room manager, he has been placed by you. "

Brother Pig used him after the class meetingThe video of our class meeting recorded on the mobile phone was put on the forum of the Normal University, and it caused a discussion among the students of the Normal University. After one day, the click-through rate of that post was nearly 4,000. Now the students and teachers at the Normal University basically know the director, who is like a big star. The uncle in charge of the dormitory downstairs in our dormitory took a sack of fifty cents a catty of tea and asked the director to sign on it, saying that the name would be appreciated after signing.

"How can I say that I put him together? I just wanted to record it and put it on the forum to discuss with you the room manager. As a result, your room manager came up with a genius, and the last few words were so righteous that I didn't dare Believe that it is your room manager. When did he respond so quickly."

"Hey, do you start hacking me as soon as I am away?" At this time, the room manager came back with the chopsticks he helped us take. While talking, he handed us the chopsticks in his hand, but we found only four pairs of chopsticks.

"Director, did you count wrong." We asked the director.

"That's right, I counted eight. I was afraid that I was wrong and I counted it three times over and over again." The head of the room patted his chest and made a resounding chest cavity.

"The head of the room...Eight people should be eight pairs of chopsticks, that is, sixteen." The child hesitated for a moment, and finally he opened his mouth to remind the head of the room.

"Yes, wow, it should be sixteen." The director patted his forehead. As a result, I heard the head of the room manager resounding empty as if he had just tapped his chest.

"Forget it, you can eat first. I'll go get four pairs of chopsticks." The child said. The manager of

scratched his head and asked Brother Pig, "Brother Pig, what did you just say about me behind my back?"

"I'll talk to Haomiao and the others about the hot discussion in your video."

"Brother Pig You are really making trouble for me," the head of the room looked at Brother Pig condescendingly, and talked to Brother Pig with his arms akimbo, "The leader of our department also saw the video. In the morning, the head teacher called me to go after class. The Science Museum is looking for him, it is said to be re-evaluated, which is terribly troublesome."

"Isn't that good, remember to ask me to go and rub the bonus when you get the bonus." Pig brother slanted his eyes and looked at the director, holding a toothpick in his left hand. Fang, grinning at the head of the room, showing eight teeth. Room

was expressionless, and the eyebrows on the right side of his face twitched slightly. He lowered his head and looked at his rice bowl. I think this should be the seventh person thinking about putting food on Brother Pig's head.

Fortunately, there are still calm people. The scholar

raised his head and asked the head of the room: "Did you say that the head teacher asked you to find him after class?"

"Yes, yes."

"Didn't you come to the cafeteria for dinner after class?" The scholar touched his chin, "Did you forget to go to the Science Museum?" Mr.

's mouth opened slowly, forming an "O". He raised his right hand and patted his head. This time there was an empty echo. The whole canteen heard it, and then the head of the room suddenly turned around and ran.

Seeing the figure of the room manager rising and falling because of the running, Brother Pig spit out the toothpick in his mouth and said: "Your room manager is still the virtue."

No one wants to put the food on Brother Pig's head this time. Up.
