Ghost Blowing Lantern II

Chapter 79 Life and Death

Although Fatty and I were not present when Lao Yangpi's son arranged the body, he would never have wrapped a weasel with Lao Yangpi without knowing it. I can't guess the reason, but I know This matter must not be spread.

Lao Yangpi's son and daughter-in-law also knew not to spread the news. They could only say that Lao Yangpi died of a sudden illness and was burned by lightning when the body was placed. They must not mention Huang Pizi, otherwise it would definitely be regarded as a class struggle. With the new trend, it was difficult to judge which direction it would develop. It was better to deal with personal matters by myself. I immediately picked up the corpses with tears in my eyes, and lit an extra fire to burn the remaining yellow-skinned corpses. Yangpi's body was wrapped in white cloth again, waiting for someone from Qili to inspect it.

When cleaning up the corpse, Lao Yangpi's son found something from the scorched corpse. He didn't know what it was, so he brought it to me and asked me. I took it and took a look and immediately recognized it. It turned out to be Lao Yangpi's item from Baiyan. The bronze dragon talisman brought back from the cave has the shape of a dragon without eyes, which is very rare. It is said that the Yuanjiao who worshiped Wong Tai Sin found it from the turtle bone cave of Baiyan Cave. It is most likely an ancient object from the sea. No one It's hard to say what it was used for. It has been hidden in the copper coffin containing Wong Tai Sin's body. Lao Yangpi said he wanted to keep it for a while, so he quietly brought it back to the pastoral area. What is this dragon talisman? Why did Lao Yangpi have to bring it back?

This bronze dragon talisman has a strange shape and has been placed in Wong Tai Sin's soul-attracting copper box. The copper box is actually a copper coffin containing an old yellow-skinned zombie. It is really a big disaster. The old sheepskin dies. Then it was buried in the ground, but yellow leather appeared next to the body, which caused thunder and lightning. If Lao Yangpi's son hadn't made the mistake of wrapping the body in several layers of white silk, no one knew what trouble was going to happen, and even here he was still covered by yellow leather. Could it be that the entanglement is because Lao Yangpi took the artifact that Wong Tai Sin was buried with during his lifetime?

Seeing that I didn't have a clue about this matter, I didn't say anything more to Lao Yangpi's son. This man was timid and fearful. Letting him know too much would only increase his psychological burden. I just asked him for the dragon talisman and turned around to find Fatty and Ding Sitian discussed.

The grassland at night was freezing cold. The death of Lao Yangpi and the incident of the thunder and fire burning of the body at night had a great impact on Ding Sitian. She refused to go back to the tent to keep warm, and stood quietly on the grassland staring at the night sky, neither shedding tears nor wanting to speak. , her eyebrows were filled with melancholy that was inappropriate for her age.

The fat man tried to persuade her for a long time, but it didn't work, so he had to sit next to her and smoke one cigarette after another. When I saw that Ding Sitian was in a bad mental state and might need to be alone, I didn't bother her, so I just He walked up to the fat man and said to him seriously: "Comrades, just tonight, Urisky was assassinated..."

This sentence is a line from a Soviet movie, which can fully express the pain and anger in my heart. The death of Lao Sheepski was definitely not an accident, but was definitely caused by Huang Pizi.

When the fat man heard what I said, he immediately took two puffs of his cigarette butt and said angrily: "It seems that the counter-revolutionaries want to burn the flames of war from the other end to this end. I will not tolerate it. Why don't you and I fight back to Huang overnight?" In the Pizi Tomb, kill all the big and small yellow skins and let their blood flood the Winter Palace."

I held up the bronze dragon talisman and waved it in my hand: "Even if there are remaining yellow skins in the Huangpizi Tomb and Baiyan Cave, they will definitely be hidden very deep. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to find them. This dragon talisman is the old dragon talisman." I think as long as I have it in hand, I don’t have to worry about attracting Huang Pizi. One of them will be killed when the time comes, and two of them will be killed.”

If we want to kill those old yellow men who have grown up, we can't do without the "Kangxi Sword" that was confiscated by the Revolutionary Committee. The fat man and I were so angry that our teeth were itching, our blood rushed straight to the top beam door, and we couldn't wait to go immediately Steal the long knife back, then set up a scented bait to kill the golden turtle, attract the big and small yellow skins and annihilate them to relieve the hatred in your heart.

I was holding the bronze dragon talisman in my hands, and Ding Sitian suddenly came over and snatched the dragon talisman away. I was unprepared, and I didn’t know what she wanted, so I stretched out my hand to get it back: "This thing is the bright weapon in the coffin. , smelly and evil, what did you do with it?"

Ding Sitian held the dragon talisman in her hand and said to me with tears: "What are you doing keeping the things in the old weasel's coffin? If the death of old Yangskin Grandpa is really related to this thing, then it is really an extremely ominous disaster star. , we can't keep it even more. Even if you two kill a few more weasels, can you resurrect the dead? Besides, what if you two make a mistake? I can't watch you make the mistake of putschism. I...I want to throw it away to keep these disasters away from us."

My murderous intention is strong, but without the dragon talisman, how can I kill Huang Pizi? He quickly dissuaded Ding Sitian: "If something goes wrong, it's just like Huang Pizi. I have been forged into steel in the torrent of class struggle. How can I capsize in the gutter? Moreover, there seems to be a mystery in this dragon talisman. It may be of great use in the future if I keep it." Don’t…”

But Ding Sitian is really willful. She couldn't finish what I said. She raised her arm and threw the ancient bronze dragon talisman far away. I saw a flash of green shadow in the night sky and landed in the knee-deep grass. , because it was the middle of the night and there was no light from the stars and the moon, I couldn't see where it landed at all. I only saw a general direction. I hurriedly went over with the fat man to search for it, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and I couldn't find it.

It wasn't until the white fish belly appeared in the east that I had to give up the search. I was so angry that the fat man and I sat on the ground and shook our heads helplessly. After spending the night, the sadness and anger in my heart subsided a lot. Maybe the yellow skin that killed Lao Sheeppi was the one who killed me. Even if the one who was killed by the thunder wanted to seek revenge, he might not be able to find his target. Since the dragon talisman was lost, he had to find something serious to do and help Lao Yangpi prepare his funeral.

Lao Yangpi has been unknown since liberation. He does not have to remain anonymous and no one knows his past. Perhaps his identity is too ordinary and ordinary, so his death is lighter than a feather. Except for us three educated youths and his son and daughter-in-law, No one took his death too seriously, and there was no formal memorial service. Everything was done hastily.

After these trivial matters came to an end, since Lao Yangpi's death, there has never been another Huangpizi to cause trouble. Fatty and I have left Daxinganling where we jumped in line for nearly 20 days, and we have to say goodbye to Ding Sitian. Previously When I came to the grassland, I wanted to talk to Ding Sixian about marriage. Male educated youths without a wife are most worried about cooking. Now that they have settled in Inner Mongolia and taken root in the revolution, getting married early will also reduce the burden on the organization. If there is a chance, They hurriedly reported to confirm their relationship, but unexpectedly many accidents happened. Once Lao Yangpi died, no one was in the mood to mention it again. The three of them cherished each other on the grassland and said goodbye with tears.

We did not go back directly to Ganggangyingzi in the Daxinganling Mountains, because at this time the mountains are already covered by heavy snow and traffic is cut off. We have no plans to go back until the snow and ice melts next year. I plan to go back to Fujian to see my parents. They are all trapped. They were designated to "stand aside", and I didn't receive a letter from them for more than half a year after jumping in line. I was inevitably worried and wanted to use this time to go home and visit relatives.

The fat man didn’t want to go back to Fujian. Both his parents died of illness while being quarantined and under investigation. He was the only aunt in the world who still lived in the Nanjing Military Region. He wanted to take advantage of the Spring Festival to visit his aunt, so we planned to take the bus from Hailar. The train arrived in Beijing and then transferred south to Nanjing. At that time, we were extremely poor. It was only when we arrived at Hailar that we realized we had no money to buy train tickets.

The fat man shook his head: "Damn it, why are we going to the mountains and countryside? Is it to respond to Chairman Mao's call for revolution? To do revolution and take the train and buy a ticket? Is this still the people's world? If there is no such reason, we will not fight Ticket, the conductor came to check the ticket to see how I taught her, it’s so outrageous, don’t forget that this train belongs to us, the general public.”

I said to the fat man: "It's outrageous for the revolutionary masses to have to show their tickets when taking the train. But now it's not the Great Series. At that time, food, accommodation and transportation were free. It's also the conductor's responsibility to check the tickets. In order to avoid conflicts with the female conductor comrades Regarding the contradictions among the people, I think we still need to adopt some strategies. Based on my experience, there are only a few major stations from Hailar to Beijing, and there are not many ticket checks along the way. Before each major station, we get off the car and walk on foot. For a while, then get on the bus after passing the main station."

The fat man said: "Although iron legs are a glorious tradition of our team, if we want to leave as soon as we see the big station as you said, then we have to slim down our legs? The Long March is so great. We can't compare with the veteran revolutionary cadres. Nowadays, even our team is mechanized. If we don’t want to point our legs and walk away, I think it’s easier to take the Overlord car, so I’ll just sit there and let’s see who can drag me.”

The two of us spent a long time together and fully understood the meaning of "a penny can beat a hero". Without money, you can't even start a revolution. I really admire that our team can develop from javelins and swords to the army, navy and air force today. It’s really not easy to have all the tanks and artillery, but the problem is that we don’t have enough money just to think about it.

The fat man and I were at a loss. When we were worried, I suddenly felt something in my pocket. When I took it out, it turned out to be ten yuan. The fat man rummaged through his pocket and found ten yuan. The two of them were startled. Then I suddenly realized that the money must belong to Ding Sixian. She knew that we had no travel expenses, so she secretly stuffed the money into our pockets. But how could she have money? When most educated youths recorded five work points a day, it was generally three How much can you earn per work point in a month? Ding Sitian is the youngest child in the family. He has three brothers. I heard that two of them went to the mountains and countryside as college students. Due to their high level of education, they were assigned to some important publicity work in the area. The salary of the working class is about thirty yuan a month, which is a considerable amount of income. This money cannot be spent in the countryside no matter how much it is spent. It must be used by her brothers for her sister.
