godfather

Nie Hui often came to the house to find Meng Xiaojing to review her homework, as if she was already a member of the Meng family, and together with Meng Jianmin, they discussed the changing current events, complained about politics, and chatted quite speculatively.Nie Hui gossips about the news, rumors that she is going to do something real, and wipe out the raging student movement with an iron fist.

Meng Xiaobei had a short conversation with Qi Liang on the phone, "The army comes in... No way, it's impossible... Who are the People's Liberation Army? Aren't the soldiers also ordinary people? Shaotang is the People's Liberation Army, so he takes Guns. You said, people like Shaotang and Uncle Xiaobin, would they shoot randomly in the street? They will never do it!"

Where was Shaotang at that time?

Shaotang's troops stayed put in the mountains in the western suburbs of Beijing, training behind closed doors every day, watching from the sidelines outside the water and fire.The big hand game at the top and the turbulent handover of military power have also affected their team.Waking up early one day, the entire corps was under martial law to eradicate counterrevolutionaries.The immediate boss was demoted because he didn't take a stand and sympathized with the student team, and someone from the outside came in to take over the general team, and the Xishan courtyard was in turmoil.

At this time, Shaotang received an order from his uncle: You leave Beijing for me.

Shaotang questioned his uncle on the phone: "Is it appropriate for you to let me leave you now? The soldiers in my team are panicked and don't know what to do next. I'm withdrawing myself now?"

He Cheng said: "Right now, right away, pack up my things for me and take the evening flight. I will transfer you to Guangzhou on business in the name of my office. I am short of manpower and my hands are in a mess. You can do it for me." business."

Shaotang said: "...Did you let me hide?"

He Cheng suddenly turned his face, and said sharply: "If you don't hide, are you going to go to the 'battlefield' with a gun? I don't fucking understand who you are, do you want to, don't you struggle and feel uncomfortable!!"

Shaotang was silent on the phone at that time, his heart was covered with a layer of dark red blood, hot and stinging, he had nothing to say.

Later, Shaotang was sent by two secret agents sent by his brother-in-law, and with a pistol to his waist, he was taken away directly from the compound.The staff department did not need to ask for instructions to report to the subordinates, but directly went to pick him up, forcing him to leave Beijing quickly and catch the evening flight to Guangzhou.

The old fox He Cheng took an overview of the overall situation in the dark of the capital. He wanted to figure out the holy will, and at the same time pay attention to and monitor the two troops in the west of the capital. Second Young Master Chu.It is difficult for anyone to grasp the trend of the current situation after a few days.A person's thin arms, no matter what, can't hold back the gears of the flying shears of the state machine, destructive and cruel crushing.Either his hands are stained with blood, or it becomes a puddle of blood under the Fuxingmen overpass. Of course, He Cheng does not want to see Shaotang being implicated. It is the wisest choice to use the power in his hand to pull people away, and it is not a woman's kindness.

... Guangzhou has been cloudy and rainy for days, and the sky seems to be covered in a big blue-gray hood.Dark clouds fringed the sky, covering the golden sun.It seems that there is a moment of darkness and depression on the eve of dawn, but the light is ahead, not far away.

A black diplomatic official car slowly drove out of the airport.

In the dark, Shaotang's eyes behind the sunglasses were quiet and sharp. He knocked the cigarette ash off the window with one hand, and slowly turned the steering wheel with the other hand, staring at the car in front and merging into the traffic.

Shaotang's driving skills are very good, the speed is neither fast nor slow, and the car body is smooth and stable.He followed the car in front of him for a circle along several main roads in Guangzhou, and was blocked by countless cars in the middle, blocking his sight, but he never lost track of him, like a leopard hiding in the jungle waiting for an opportunity.

The black car suddenly accelerated, got rid of several cars behind, turned into a narrow alley, and wanted to get out in broad daylight!

The chasing car behind hurriedly started, but was blocked by a post office van crossing the alley.

Shaotang glanced coldly at the back, then turned suddenly, took a detour, and copied to the front from another narrow alley.

The two cars moved side by side, causing sharp and harsh friction on the road, and at the same time were forced to stop by the red light at the intersection.

There are patterns on the edge of Shaotang's sunglasses, as well as a password to show his identity.He held the cigarette between his fingers, calmly and vigorously, and knocked on the edge of the car window three times as if it was real.

The person in the black car stretched out his hand, and the moment the thing was thrown over, he looked at Shaotang through the sunglasses, and suddenly realized that there was a fraud!

The black car turned suddenly and tried to run a red light, crossing the road and turning left forcibly!Shaotang instantly activated the gas pedal and swerved, slashing his head on the opponent's front bumper. In the middle of the palm-width narrow road in the city, he was like two wildebeests chasing each other on the African savannah.

The moment a miniature handbook was thrown into the iron grate of the sewer, Shaotang flew to catch it with the foot of his leather shoe, kicked it up...it was firmly in his hand, and then drew his gun.Then several cars arrived behind.

Shaotang later went back to the hotel to call his uncle and said, "I got the things, I'm done... When will you allow me to go back to Beijing?"

He Cheng felt relieved, and said with a sneer, "I think you're quite suitable for this job, and your methods are quite neat? Why don't you just stay with the Guangzhou office and don't go back to Beijing."

Shaotang: "I won't do it."

Shaotang thought to himself that it was enough to do this kind of work once, and there were still people at home waiting for him to go back.

Shaotang strode past the lobby, and took a Cantonese newspaper from the periodical rack, which came from Hong Kong.

He only glanced at it, and his eyes were quickly fixed on a picture in the lower corner of the page!

A reporter reported on the grand student parade in Xincheng Square. In the picture, a boy with glasses was shirtless, with a skinny body, waving the national flag and roaring. His posture of striving and singing was like a famous French painting "Liberty Leading the People" except for his stature. The naked goddess holding the flag.Beside the boy, in the crowd in the background, a head was vaguely exposed.Meng Xiaobei's eyes were narrowed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his face was expressionless, and his red hairband was very conspicuous in the crowd.

Shaotang stared at the newspaper in surprise, his head seemed to be run over by heavy wheels and metal tracks... Even with that hair tie, he would not be mistaken, it was his precious son.

At that time, no one believed that the turmoil in the capital would kill countless young lives.Everyone is optimistic and there is still a glimmer of hope.

In the university next door to the family compound, someone knew Meng Xiaobei, knew his fame as a painter, and asked him to help him draw some posters.In fact, Meng Xiaobei had been to that square before.He walked in front of the provincial capital and saw the students who were not a few years older than him...Meng Xiaobei didn't have much political awareness, and his thoughts were extremely simple.Boys have their own blood and ideals, with restless and exciting factors in their characters, and ambition and pride in their bones and blood.He stood in the parade, listening to the excited voices around him, and seeing many people crying, he couldn't help being impulsive and surging.

Meng Xiaobei also yelled a few times, "Down with corrupt officials, shouting and shouting will become, eliminate discrimination!"Eliminate all social injustice, eliminate the household registration system, each of us is born equal! ...he listened to the students playing guitar and singing in the square.In the evening, the ancient city was lit up with colorful lights, and he and a few students formed a circle, playing cards lively and killing time.

Meng Xiaobei wore a hair band on his head, exposing his smooth forehead, he looked like a cynical youth.

... He vented his pressure of preparing for the college entrance examination on the square, and then went back to school, but he didn't take it seriously.Four days later, he learned from the school, the family compound, and many people around that something happened in Beijing.

Meng Jianmin was meticulous, and called his relatives in Beijing one by one to confirm. His parents and sisters all asked about safety, but the call to Shaotang was not answered, and he couldn't find anyone?

Meng Xiaobei was really anxious now.

He had no idea that Shaotang was so worried about him that he was going crazy.

He was worried about Shaotang, who he thought was still in Beijing.

Meng Xiaobei called Liangliang, Qi Liang said, "Damn it, how dare I go out!"It is said in the news that the whole city is under martial law, and all citizens should go home and be honest.The school directly suspended our class for a day, and I didn't review for the third year of high school. I didn't go to school at all today, and I didn't dare to go out to deliver the goods. After all, money is not as important as my life. Now I'm squatting at home and fishing for fish!

Qi Liang wasn't shy either: "Huh? I'm lying in bed... Well, our little Yiyi gave me a massage, she's so considerate."

"We can't go out to do errands, so we'll 'do errands' at home!"

"I just feel a little uncomfortable in that place. I suspect it is the sequelae of the previous operation. I always hurt when I urinate. Is it not done well for me? A medical malpractice!"

"I rely on Meng Xiaobei, don't talk nonsense, I didn't do that! When I was a virgin, I started to hurt!!"

Meng Xiaobei begged his grandpa to tell his grandma, "Do you know where my godfather is now?"

Qi Liang said: "The soldiers are all in the city now, occupying the streets and squares, but I dare not go to the streets to help you find them."

Meng Xiaobei was suddenly worried, and murmured: "You, you didn't see Shaotang on TV, did you?"

Qi Liang was also taken aback: "Don't talk nonsense!...it's not their army...it's shown in the news broadcast, under the flyover, it's scary, it's definitely not your godfather, their army..."

"Shots fired outside, Hujialou, shot fired, we all heard it."

Liangliang, who always had a hippie smile, suddenly became serious at this moment, with a heavy tone.

There was silence on the phone.In the dark night of the turbulent age, it seems as if you can hear the restless heartbeat and prayers everywhere.Teacher Xiao suddenly hugged Qi Liang from behind, like a big baby, kissed Qi Liang's face tenderly, and the two held hands.The rain outside the window is fluttering, and it is the greatest comfort to have a companion at home and give a warm hug.

***** In fact, Shaotang's unit did not take to the streets to perform tasks.At that time, troops from outside were transferred in.Shaotang's timing was just right, he was transferred away by his uncle, away from the place of right and wrong, and afterward changed his face and was directly transferred to the General Staff Department.It's not too much for He Cheng to play a trick, to make a small calculation to protect his family.

In the evening of the same day, Meng Xiaobei heard at the school gate that the police had entered the city to arrest people. Someone was detained on the university campus next door, and what happened to the square and the clock tower in the city.

A few senior children watched from the side of the street for a while, and they were very courageous.Meng Xiaobei shook his head gracefully, "Everyone, go home, don't worry your parents."

Meng Xiaobei still has a sense of propriety in doing things.He originally wanted to go home instead of running around.

He was walking on the main road in front of the pharmaceutical factory, smoking a cigarette, and happened to pass by the video studio he used to go to.

A military jeep suddenly came over on the street, and a few men wearing gray-black jackets and small bags slung across the car got out of the car and entered the video room, where there was immediately a commotion.Meng Xiaobei didn't understand at the time, those men were clearly plainclothes.

The video room seemed to be sealed off, and a young man on the street said, "That little boss caused trouble, he went to a parade to make trouble!"

The video hall is a building connected to the billiard hall next door, and there is a small hidden door in the middle, so only those who frequent it will know.Meng Xiaobei walked across several billiard tables amidst the dim and loud music, and kicked someone near the table hole of the vulgar and poorly decorated bar table.

"Ouch..." Someone lazily shouted, "I stepped on my hand..."

Meng Xiaobei lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Why are you two still here?"

The little boss was still shirtless and without clothes, and fled the scene on all fours, followed by the boy he was acquainted with.The gentle and delicate boy suddenly saw Meng Xiaobei, thinking that he was exposed by the police and was going to be arrested, hugged the little boss's waist, tears came down on the spot, and suddenly cried: "Kunzi, you What a fool! I told you not to go out and make trouble, but if you insist on going out, the police will come and arrest you, what should we do! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The little boss said nonchalantly: "Come to arrest me, not you, why are you crying?"

The boy smoked and scolded: "Student parade is none of your business again? Are you thinking of me!... When people parade, you hold up a sign, when they light the fire, you set off cigarettes, when they burn the car, you are stupid, don't you? Pass gasoline bottles to people ! You were caught and I was alone in jail, who would I go to?!"

The little boss was stunned for a moment, and he slapped his swollen face to pretend to be fat in front of outsiders, and said, "Go find another one."

A trace of pity flashed in Meng Xiaobei's eyes, he picked up that little sissy, stop talking nonsense, save your energy and find a safe place to quarrel, you two run away!

The shops on the commercial street were next to each other, and several people crashed into a small restaurant.

The heat of the mutton soup is tangy!On a hot day, the back kitchen of the restaurant was as hot as a steamer, and immediately Meng Xiaobei was covered in hot sweat with the smell of mutton!He gestured to the people behind him with his hand, and shrewdly said, "Go through the back door."

The boy slipped and nearly fell onto the suet-smeared floor.

The master chef in the back was wearing a white hat, with half of his eyes slanted up, staring at them, scooping a spoonful of mutton soup into the big pot, and was cooking steamed buns.

The master said in a drawn-out voice: "Looking outside in line, cooking bowl by bowl, are you in such a hurry?"

Meng Xiaobei said, "I'm sorry, I can't wait any longer, I'll go there first"!He stubbornly squeezed through the narrow passage behind the master, and stepped into the steel basin, which shattered and shattered, making the small kitchen feel cramped and frantic.

He picked up the weeping and sobbing boy, and directed the two: "You go out of that door and run, hurry up."

Meng Xiaobei could not bear to see a pair of wild mandarin ducks in distress because of the loyalty between men, or some kind of sympathy and pity for his fellow travelers.

At that time, I didn't have a chance to look at the situation outside. I was looking for people in plain clothes on the street. At this time, another jeep came by the street.When braking, the tires scratched hard on the shoulder of the road, leaving a clear brake mark, revealing the anxious heart!

There was dust on the sides of the car.The car door was knocked open from the inside, and the force almost knocked the door off obliquely.The man wearing sunglasses strode out of the car, the black shirt was open, and the vest inside was already soaked!

Both of them searched for people and found their way in the hot and fuzzy room.The door opened, and Meng Xiaobei slammed his head into a broad, sweaty chest, and the hard collarbone and vertebrae of the other's neck hurt him.

Meng Xiaobei looked up.

Shaotang also looked up and stared at him.

Meng Xiaobei was surprised: "..."

Neither of them expected to find each other in this kind of place. Meng Xiaobei's mind was filled with pain from the pictures shown on TV, the bustling square, the military vehicles burning like a ball of fire, and the revival of being caught in a sea of ​​flames. Road, Xizhimen Street... Shaotang is right in front of him, and the person in front of him is safe and sound.

Xiaobei: "Why did you come to Xi'an?"

Shaotang: "I'm here to get you!!!"

Xiaobei: "What's wrong with me? Are you okay?"

Shaotang: "If you're fine, I'm fine!...Do you know what you're doing!! Why are you turning off your pager and not answering me?!"

Xiaobei looked down, and his momentum became low: "I'm sorry, the battery is out."

Shaotang squeezed Meng Xiaobei's arm, his upper arm bone was about to be crushed with a few fingers.Both of them were sweating profusely. The sweat steamed from the roots of their black hair and flowed onto their hard browbones and eye sockets. They looked at each other in a daze.The two held back the same sentence in their hearts: something happened, can you let me rest assured?

Downstairs, a question came from the door of the restaurant, the shop owner, do you know the man named Wang Kun nearby?

Shaotang: "..."

The little boss with a cigarette in his mouth said in a low voice, "I'm going to die."

The boy next to him was named Xiaowen, wiped away his tears, and said stubbornly: "If you are caught by the police and killed inside... I will be a widow, and you will be sorry for me in your life."

Shaotang glanced at the two of them, his heart was in a mess, but he suddenly let go.

When he saw the plain clothes on the street just now, he thought those people were here to arrest Meng Xiaobei!He thought that Xiaobei had caused trouble, so he went to the square with those college students to parade.He has already thought about things that are thousands of miles away in his mind, and even a certain thought flashed through his mind. If his son really committed a crime and was held accountable, he would immediately lead him away and never look back. He ran to Guangzhou and Hong Kong ... Shaotang glanced out through the window, quite calm at the critical moment, and quickly commanded: "Everyone follow me."

After Shaotang flew to Xi'an, he borrowed a broken car from the original army's office, and drove around the city of Xi'an for two hours.

He passed the busiest squares, avenues, provincial government buildings, and municipal government buildings crowded with people, and drove along the street to look for them. His chest was filled with labor pain, and his eyes were filled with confused gunpowder smoke.Later, he saw a few high school boys wearing their school uniforms on the side of the road, and Shaotang got out of the car to inquire about it. It happened that those students knew Xiaobei, so Shaotang asked where his son usually went, and searched for those billiard halls and game halls. …… On that day, several people went up the fire exit with no one there, and knocked open the upstairs door.Upstairs is a small shop selling cowhide, sheepskin shoes and leather goods.The boss was surprised and came out to ask, but Shaotang slapped the door and sent him back into the room.A few people ran along the corridor on the second floor, found the balcony, and found that the building was so tall!

Shaotang tied the hem of his shirt to his waist, and climbed over the railing of the corridor on the second floor with his bare hands.He pawed the rainwater pipe outside the building with his fingers and walked against the wall.The flexible body seems to be embedded with a steel bar to hook a high wall. It is fast and steady, and its skills are dazzling. It only takes three or five feet to fall to the first floor. Flat land.

Kunzi couldn't help but praised: "What does your family do?"

Meng Xiaobei said, "He used to be a firefighter."

Shaotang signaled with his eyes: Beibei, jump, you jump down! !

Meng Xiaobei climbed over the railing without any hesitation.

Shaotang looked down calmly, and stretched out a pair of strong, reliable arms to him.Meng Xiaobei let go, jumped off the building, and threw himself into Shaotang's arms!Shaotang caught him from below and then fell down, rolling to the ground to absorb the force.The two of them rolled all over the ground, quite thrilling... Shaotang quickly got up, turned around and waved upstairs: "There are you two, jump!"
