In elementary school and junior high school, Zhu Zhiyuan and Sun Sheng were classmates for a total of six years. Sun Sheng was a good person, didn't talk much, but was generous. Zhu Zhiyuan was a talkative person from a young age. Although he often had conflicts and fights with others, he also had many friends.
Sun Sheng had a good relationship with him. Sun Sheng didn't dare to fight, but he was generous. The bamboo maker in his family often went to the mountains to harvest bamboo and could dig bamboo rats.
Sun Sheng’s father rubbed the bamboo rat with salt and seasonings and hung it up to dry. If he wanted to eat it, he cut it in half to drink with it.
Occasionally, Sun Sheng would wrap a few pieces in paper and sneak them into school to eat. Every time, he would stuff Zhu Zhiyuan with a few pieces.
In rural areas at that time, although people could eat enough to eat, it was not easy to eat meat. They usually had to celebrate the New Year or kill pigs, and there was no meat in normal times.
But bamboo rat meat is meat, and Sun Sheng’s father is a good cook and the taste is good. Zhu Zhiyuan sometimes remembers the taste in his dreams.
Later, I heard that Sun Sheng was dead. Zhu Zhiyuan came back and visited the grave.
Now that he was reborn and remembered this incident, of course he wanted to avoid this tragedy.
Walking along the mountain col, about two or three miles away, you will see a temple. This is the Stone Tablet Temple. It is half new and half old.
The lower section is the old wall foundation, and the upper roof is newly built.
There is a courtyard in front of the Shibei Temple, the temple in the middle, and a courtyard behind it, where the Taoist priests live.
There were five Taoist priests in the temple. Sun Sheng's wife came to hide in the temple and helped them cook. Sun Sheng went out to do bamboo work during the day and returned to the temple to accompany his wife at night.
So Zhu Zhiyuan didn't go to Sun Sheng's house, and Sun Sheng went out to do bamboo work. He couldn't find anyone, but Zhu Zhiyuan knew Sun Sheng's wife Li Xiu'e, so he just wanted to say hello.
The temple door was open and Zhu Zhiyuan went in. There were two old Taoist priests sunbathing in the corridor. When they saw Zhu Zhiyuan coming in, they both raised their eyes and looked over.
Zhu Zhiyuan said hello: "Two masters, are Li Xiu'e here? Her man wants me to send a message."
One of the old Taoist priests asked: "Which one are you?"
Zhu Zhiyuan said: "Don't ask me which Luo is, I will send you a message."
As Zhu Zhiyuan spoke, he raised his voice and shouted: "Li Xiu'e, Li Xiu'e, Sun Sheng wants me to send you a message."
"Which one?"
Following the words, a woman came out from behind the corridor with a big belly. It was Sun Sheng's wife Li Xiu'e. Her face was a little swollen, but her appearance was still there, so she could recognize her.
Zhu Zhiyuan shouted: "Li Xiu'e."
Li Xiu'e also recognized Zhu Zhiyuan and said in surprise: "College student, why are you here? They say you are a high official in Dongcheng."
"Don't talk about being an official for now." Zhu Zhiyuan said: "You clean up and come with me quickly. Someone reported it to the Family Planning Commission and they are going to arrest you now."
"Really or not?" Li Xiu'e was surprised.
"Should I coax you?" Zhu Zhiyuan said: "Hurry up, bring your wallet and ID card, don't worry about other things, just follow me."
"Hey." Li Xiu'e nodded, ran inside, took two steps, and then turned back: "Sun Sheng..."
"You call his cell phone. Does he have a cell phone?"
"He has a mobile phone, but he just doesn't have a signal." Li Xiu'e nodded and shook her head.
It's still 2008, and in many places, especially in mountainous areas, there are few base stations and poor signals, or no signal at all.
"I'll hit one."
Li Xiu'e took out a mobile phone.
At the moment, the promotion of simulators is very fierce. Nokia Siemens abroad, Panda Gionee domestically, and waveguides are all called fighter jets in mobile phones every day. The price is not expensive, and many people have them.
Li Xiu'e called and got through, but the signal didn't seem to work. She shouted loudly: "It's Zhu Zhiyuan... Student Zhu... He came to call me and said that if there was any damn report, the Family Planning Commission would come to arrest me. ...Then I'll go with him...I'll go to his house..."
"Don't go to my house." Zhu Zhiyuan shouted: "Tell him to go to the train station and ask him to go to the train station to find you."
"Hey." Li Xiu'e responded and shouted: "Student Zhu asked me to go to the train station...I will go to Guangdong to hide for a while...You come here and bring some clothes..."
She said and ran back, and came out after a while, carrying a satchel across her body and a backpack on her back, which should be some clothes or something.
"Let's go." Zhu Zhiyuan said and glanced at her big belly: "You can go."
"It's okay." Li Xiu'e stroked her belly: "My baby is so good."
"Well."
Zhu Zhiyuan didn't talk nonsense and took the lead to walk out. Li Xiu'e followed behind. As expected, she was very agile. Rural women who work daily are not squeamish.
Halfway through the walk, a woman came in from the pass. Zhu Zhiyuan had good eyesight and recognized her at a glance. She was Sun Sheng's mother.
Zhu Zhiyuan said: "Sister-in-law, your mother-in-law is here."
Li Xiu'e also saw it, raised her arms and shouted: "Mom."
"Xiu'e." Sun Sheng's mother responded, quickly approached, and looked at Zhu Zhiyuan with some panic. Zhu Zhiyuan said hurriedly: "Aunt, I am Zhu Zhiyuan, Sun Sheng's classmate."
"Are you Sun Sheng's classmate?" Sun Sheng's mother recognized her and suddenly knelt down: "Please, don't catch Xiu'e to induce labor. We all know how much the fine will be. We sell our houses and cows. You all admit it, please.”
It turned out that she had misunderstood and thought that Zhu Zhiyuan was here to arrest Li Xiu'e to induce labor.
Li Xiu'e immediately looked at Zhu Zhiyuan in panic.
Zhu Zhiyuan said hurriedly: "Aunt, you misunderstood. I'm not from the Family Planning Office. I heard someone reported it, so I came here to notify Li Xiu'e and ask her to hide for a while?"
"Really?" Sun Sheng's mother suddenly stood up: "Then run, they are coming this way, Zhu Liuzi reported them."
"Ah!" Li Xiu'e shouted, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."
This place is still a few hundred meters away from the col's entrance. Go out directly, just in case you happen to meet it.
"Let's go into the mountain." Sun Sheng's mother looked determined and took Li Xiu'e's hand: "Mom is supporting you."
"It's not necessary." Zhu Zhiyuan looked around and said, "You go and hide in the woods over there, wait until they pass, and then come out."
Sun Sheng's mother turned around and took a look and said, "The woods can hide people. I'm just afraid they won't be able to find them in the temple and chase them out again."
"I parked a car at the entrance of the village. Wait for them to pass. You get in the car with me and go directly to the train station. They can't catch up."
"Yes." Li Xiu'e nodded: "I called Sun Sheng and we made an agreement."
"Okay, hide for a while and I'll help you."
"No need." Li Xiu'e didn't need Sun Sheng's mother to help her, and the two women quickly hid in the woods nearby.
Just after they hid, several men appeared at the entrance of the col and walked quickly inside.
Zhu Zhiyuan curled his lips slightly, took out a cigarette, lit it slowly, and then walked outside.
Soon they met. First, a young man with a bunch of red hair on his head stared at Zhu Zhiyuan and suddenly asked: "Who are you?"
Zhu Zhiyuan originally didn't want to talk to these people, but he didn't expect these people to take the initiative to stir up trouble. He raised his eyebrows: "It's none of your business. I want to honor your father. I don't know a kid like you."
"Eh?" The red-haired man immediately became angry: "Where did you get that wild dick? You're jumping, right?"
As he said this, he came up and grabbed Zhu Zhiyuan's clothes.
Zhu Zhiyuan moved his hand with his left hand, stretched out the cigarette butt in his right hand, and pressed it on Hong Mao's face.
"Ah." Hong Mao let out a howl like a killing pig and retreated sharply.
He took two steps back and touched his face. He jumped a few times in pain, and a look of ferocity appeared on his face: "I want you to die here today."
He said and rushed forward again.
Zhu Zhiyuan raised his foot and kicked him on the chest, sending him flying two or three meters away.
Hongmao rolled on the ground, got up, but did not dare to rush up. He shouted to several other people: "Director Lin, this man must be here to tell the truth, arrest him."
There were four other people, and two of them were a little ready to make a move. The fat man wearing glasses at the head stared at Zhu Zhiyuan and suddenly said: "Are you Zhu Zhiyuan?"
Zhu Zhiyuan studied in high school in the county town. The summer vacation was not over yet. He took the notice and went to Dongcheng. Later, in order to make money, and because Bai Xue was there, few people came back, so even in one town, many people did not know him.
But he knew this fat man, Lin Fan, a cadre in the town and the director of the Family Planning Office.
