Chronicle of the Republic of China

Fang Wuyu set out to the north, looking for an opportunity.The director was overjoyed and agreed to take care of Meng Xisheng for him and try to make Meng Xisheng suffer less in prison.

Commander Gu hit Fang Wuyu on the forehead like a blow to the head.Fang Wuyu knew from Meng Xisheng that when he was captured by the bandits, the leader of that gang was Commander Gu.

A person like Commander Gu can be favored by heaven, or he kills too many people, and Yan Luodian fears him, making him avoid death every time.He has changed from a commander to a rogue, and from a rogue to a team leader who is full of benevolence and morality. With his sloppy personality, he has turned himself into a dog-like thing in this troubled world.

Even Fang Wuyu had to admire people like him.

After seeing Commander Gu, Fang Wuyu no longer had hope for Meng Xisheng's release, he had to find another way.

Fang Wuyu simply packed a suitcase. He is now a "person under trial". Although he was put back, it does not mean that he escaped unharmed. If the propaganda team wanted to call him for questioning, he had to be on the spot immediately.The director accommodated the relationship and asked Fang Wuyu to leave Yuncheng with a caravan and go to Lin County to take the train north.

The director bought the train ticket for him and gave him a contact number of a government official. This is all the director can do for him.

Fang Wuyu took the bumpy car until after nine o'clock that night, and arrived at Beiping Railway Station.

He used the hotel's public landline to call the director's contact person, and they met in a tea room.

The content of the conversation disappointed Fang Wuyu.

Fang Wuyu got bad news from him that Commander Helian was put under house arrest just yesterday.

"You don't know, the situation in Beiping is more serious than yours—" the other party was vague, as if he didn't want to elaborate, and only summarized one sentence, "It's much more serious."

The other party did not elaborate on the reasons why Helian was placed under house arrest. The conversation lasted only 15 minutes. In the end, the other party sent Fang Wuyu a letter, which was a little bit of kindness he could do.

Fang Wuyu looked at the letter, and suddenly felt that he had a foresight. Except for the "Cat", he never thought of devoting energy to writing in his life.He felt that writing was a terrible and sacred thing. It could kill a person and bring him to life. It allowed the propaganda team to concoct a false image from the few words they found to convict a person. Save a life with a letter.

It was midday when he came out of the tea enclosure, Fang Wuyu put the letter away properly, bought a ticket for the fastest train, and rushed back to Yuncheng overnight.

While sitting on the train, Fang Wuyu thought again, maybe what is scary is not the words, but the human heart.He wronged the wrong person.

Fang Wuyu had only been away for two days and nights. On the third morning, he returned to Yuncheng, and immediately rushed to the theater.

Fang Wuyu forgot one thing, that is, Helian is in danger now, and this news soon spread to the propaganda team. The letter that had saved him once was no longer valid, let alone the one in his hand now.

Fang Wuyu can be said to have thrown himself into the trap, but if he wanted to save Meng Xisheng, he had to deal with the propaganda team, so he would inevitably fall into the trap.

When Fang Wuyu was interrogated for the second time, he knew that he was doomed. The other party had already figured out his past, known his previous identity, and beat him as a capitalist who was worse than Meng Xisheng. As for how did they know? In all of this, Fang Wuyu knew who it was without even guessing.

If Commander Gu dares to bite him, he dares to bite Commander Gu.Fang Wuyu told the truth about Commander Gu's past, saying that he used to be a warlord and a bandit, but now he changed his name and surname to lie to you again.Commander Gu's resume is a hundred times more serious than that of a young master of capital, and he can almost be thrown into the [-]th level of hell.

But things were not as Fang Wuyu imagined. The other party didn't look surprised when he said all this, but sneered mockingly.

Since Commander Gu dared to bite him, why didn't he make preparations in advance.Fang Wuyu didn't know what ecstasy soup Commander Gu had poured into these young people, that they trusted Commander Gu so utterly and faithfully.

In the beginning, Fang Wuyu could defend himself, make up lies, and use his usual eloquence to defend himself.On the third day of the interrogation, which continued day and night, his mental state became unstable. Under extreme depression, he stopped talking, and felt extremely tired even to utter a single breath.

The interrogators took the meaning out of context to the fullest. They brought up Fang Wuyu's background over and over again to make a fuss, ignoring how many soldiers he had rescued and how many lives he had saved in the army fighting for the country.In the end, the other party even spread out the "Cat" article found at home in front of Fang Wuyu, and asked him the real purpose of writing this article, what exactly did he want to imply, and whether he harbored evil intentions.

Fang Wuyu's soul had already dissociated from his body, and he really wanted to drink some water. The last time he drank water was six hours ago, taking a very small sip.

It took him almost 2 minutes to see his own handwriting in front of him clearly. The "Cat", the only article he wrote in his life, was in a beautiful thin gold body, with a horizontally bent hook, and one stroke was a knife.

When he wrote "Cats", he wrote an article about hope with rare enthusiasm.At that time, the battle was over, and everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for the birth of a new world.At that time, life just had a taste of light and wind, as if all the suffering had passed, and there was no need to panic anymore.Perhaps it is because of this that he, a person who pursues reality, also writes articles about hope.He hoped that the cat could live forever, go on, and survive in this world tirelessly with everyone's kindness.

shit.

Fang Wuyu laughed suddenly, and tore the thin pages of paper to shreds. The two interrogators grabbed his hand, but they couldn't resist his strength.It wasn't until he was punched in the face that he finally fainted dizzily.

When he woke up, Fang Wuyu was already in the prison. Yuncheng was not a big place, and there was only one prison, which was built in the outskirts, surrounded by continuous windbreak forests, and the barbed wire on the high wall criss-crossed, cutting the distant sky into blocks.He was not locked up with Meng Xisheng, and it was impossible for the other party to lock them together, but he knew that Meng Xisheng was not far away from him.

Through the window of the cell, one can only see the towering high wall, and the canopy of the windbreak forest cannot be seen.

Fang Wuyu was leaning against the wall, physically exhausted from the interrogation for several days and nights, so he could only curl himself up into a ball and stare longingly at the sky outside.

A week later, Fang Wuyu was also dragged onto the stage of criticism. After that, he was interrogated tirelessly, imprisoned, criticized, and bombed repeatedly. Fang Wuyu finally gave up completely and stopped defending, and even started to break the cans and smash the ground and interrogate The staff confronted each other.His tongue is overwhelming, and even a god can be pissed off by him, let alone a few young people on the opposite side.

The other party couldn't say no to him, so they used some cruel methods against him in private.Fang Wuyu was soft when he should be soft, and when he couldn't bear the punishment, he said that he had done all the tricks, and scribbled on the confession to get some breathing time.He accepted it humbly, and made the same mistake next time.

By the end of the year, Fang Wuyu had been in prison for more than three months, and he and Meng Xisheng hadn't seen each other.The propaganda team held a year-end review meeting and threw all the "reactionary personnel" onto the platform of criticism.

Heads bowed one after another, Commander Gu delivered a speech, eliminating the four old things, preventing the restoration of capitalism, and upholding proletarian culture.For so many years, he has not led soldiers, but he used the posture of leading soldiers in the performance, and he spoke with spit, with an astonishing momentum.

Fang Wuyu didn't have the energy to laugh, he looked for Meng Xisheng in his head all over the floor.

Meng Xisheng was easy to find, the one kneeling most straight was him.His eyes were dull, he had lost weight in a few months, and the collarbone on his neck was protruding, as if he could poke out the flesh.There was not much expression on his face, it was empty, as if he had lost a lot of joy and sorrow.But he was still unwilling to lower his head like the first time Fang Wuyu saw him on the criticism platform.

Fang Wuyu was so happy to be sad because of this discovery.In the middle of the criticism meeting, when the atmosphere was getting more and more heated, Fang Wuyu took the opportunity to call him. He saw Meng Xisheng turned his head slightly, probably thinking that he had an illusion.Fang Wuyu didn't want to disappoint him, so the second time he shouted his name forcefully, Meng Xi was surprised and confused, and almost stood up to look for him.

That was the only time the two met each other in the next few years, separated by a distance of more than five meters, and in the crowds, one saw each other, the other heard each other, like eyes and ears, unable to touch each other, inner But it is common.

Turning to the next year, Fang Wuyu finally met an acquaintance in prison.

The director of his department was also locked in and slept on his upper bunk.After the other party came in, he didn't say a word every day, and even Fang Wuyu couldn't make him say a word. He seemed to have lost his soul, and the remaining vitality was struggling.Fang Wuyu didn't know what he had experienced, but he thought that what he lost must be something more important than his life.

The director was taken out twice, and after being released the second time at night, he lay on the bed until dawn, and finally did not open his eyes again.

Fang Wuyu had seen death, and he had seen too much in the three years he was with the army.Except for the life and death of himself and Meng Xisheng, other people were not enough to touch him. He calmly saved each life, and calmly watched each life fleeting.Until this morning, when he looked up at his upper bunk, he felt his breath suddenly choked in his chest, unable to move up.

The director died of excessive blood loss, the meridian in the wrist was damaged, and the blood soaked the bedding.There is nothing in the cell to hurt yourself, and breaking the glass windows will attract the attention of others.His injured wrist was bloody and bloody, and Fang Wuyu kept staring at that place before the body was carried out.

He was almost sure it was a bite, he had killed himself with his own teeth on the wrist.

This was the weirdest way of suicide that Fang Wuyu had ever seen, and he had never seen such a way of death in his life.

People love themselves and stop when they feel pain.Fang Wuyu couldn't figure it out, didn't it hurt when he bit him, why he could bite off his meridian like a wild beast.

Fang Wuyu didn't understand, because he hadn't experienced real despair yet, even in this situation, he was still thinking about Meng Xisheng, waiting for the day when he would be released and meet Meng Xisheng.

Later Fang Wuyu heard from his roommate that something happened to his wife and child.There is no way of knowing what happened, the other party only said this sentence.

On the night when the director was carried out, when Fang Wuyu made the bed to sleep, he saw two tiny blobs of blood dripping from the upper bunk on the bedding. The wind had passed through the cell all day, but Fang Wuyu still felt that A bloody smell lingered at the tip of his nose, lingering.

In the second half of the year, Fang Wuyu also began to become silent during the interrogation, no longer provoking the other party, no longer saying unnecessary words, and things went back and forth, even Fang Wuyu's mind would be exhausted.

Life is like a walking dead, the only thing he thinks about is Meng Xisheng, he prays that Meng Xisheng is safe, and prays that he will not despair of such days.

By the second year, interrogations finally dwindled, but things weren't looking rosy.Fang Wuyu was raised to undergo labor reform.He has to work nearly ten hours a day, doing chores in the dirtiest environment, scrubbing floors and washing toilets.Fang Wuyu had never done such a thing in his life. He often said that he was the young master's life, and he was born not to be exposed to spring water. Even in the years of ups and downs during the Anti-Japanese War, he did not allow himself to live in mud.

Fang Wuyu labored and reformed for a whole year, until he finally found an opportunity under the watchful eyes of the surveillance personnel and swallowed a scrap of iron he picked up.

That day Fang Wuyu was in so much pain that he was sent to the hospital, where he lay down on the operating table at three o'clock in the morning and took out the piece of iron.The position of the iron sheet was not good after taking it. The doctor said that he was fatal and almost cut his stomach.

Not long after Fang Wuyu woke up, he was injured and escaped from the hospital.He didn't dare to go home, he staggered with his stomach in his arms, and finally bumped into a person.

Where did the man take him? Fang Wuyu couldn't see clearly because of his fuzzy consciousness. He only remembered that the other party fed him warm water and helped him lie on the bed.

Fang Wuyu was in a coma until the next evening, and when he woke up, the other party happily called him Doctor Fang, because they knew him.

"You saved my life, Doctor Fang forgot?" He lifted his clothes to reveal the abdomen, where there were traces of a scalpel running over it, "You were the one who made this knife."

The other party said with a smile: "You have a wound on your stomach anyway."

The two people who had both been disemboweled looked at each other for a few seconds, and Fang Wuyu thought it was funny.

"Where am I?" Fang Wuyu asked.

"Red Cross."

Fang Wuyu was taken aback, he raised his head to look at the layout of the room, the furnishings were much more modern, but the architectural style remained in the former Qing Dynasty.He was helped to step out of the threshold, and he saw those familiar and unfamiliar pavilions, corridors, and corridors. Every brick and tile was full of ingenuity and ingenuity.

Fang Wuyu was filled with emotions, and the other party was slightly taken aback when he saw his red eyes.

After many years, he returned to the Fang family mansion.
