"You take this map."

Si Zhao raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zhang at the front desk of the guest house and a hand-painted map she handed over, and stopped writing, not without surprise: "You really drew it for us, thank you so much." He took it with a smile Looking at the map, he said: "The drawing is really careful, even the differences between the rainy and dry seasons are marked, thank you so much."

Xiao Zhang said: "There will be more rain in autumn. When you come back in two months, the mountain roads around Damin Mountain must look completely different. You should prepare first." She put 16 yuan in the On the desk at the front desk, he said in a soft voice, "Thank you for translating, I will go to my brother later."

Si Zhao took the money, checked a piece of paper with a dozen or so lines of Chinese-English bilingual sentences on it, folded it, handed it out, and said: "My level is not very good, so I flipped through it. roughly means."

Xiao Zhang said with a smile: "It's enough to know about it, and it's enough for him to be awe-inspiring outside."

Si Zhao also laughed, and pulled a briefcase on the corner of the table and opened it.He took out a letter from the box and said, "There is one more thing to trouble you. When Lao Liu arrives, I have to trouble you to deliver this letter."

Xiao Zhang responded hastily, groped around behind the table, took out a stack of letters tied with rubber bands, and spoke softly to Si Zhao: "I almost forgot, Mr. Si, these are the letters returned by the post office before." Lao Liu just brought the letter back yesterday." She put the letter gently on the table, not without complaining: "I also blamed him, and I said that if the address is written wrong, it should be returned, you should return it early. Come back some, I have to accumulate so much..."

There was a fly on the back of her hand.She doesn't seem to be aware of it.

Si Zhao was very polite: "It's all right." Without even looking at the thick stack of letters, he stuffed them all into the briefcase, then closed the suitcase, picked up a luggage bag at his feet, turned around and left. to go.Xiao Zhang stopped him and waved a letter in his hand—it was the letter Si Zhao had just given her.The fly that had settled on the back of her hand flew onto the envelope, forming a dark, fuzzy circle behind the zip code.

Si Zhao rubbed his eyes, and Xiao Zhang said, "Mr. Si, I think the address is still the same. Do I still need to send it? Can you check the address again? Is the zip code wrong?"

The flies are gone.

Si Zhao glanced outside the guest house, and Zhu Tianyun's white car had parked there at some point. The car's engine hummed, and the body vibrated slightly. The long aisle with the red carpet, and the narrow wooden door with blue paint all trembled—the hairy branches trembled, the fiber strands on the carpet trembled, and the wooden thorns on the wooden door also rustled. trembling.

"Si Zhao!! What are you doing again? Let's go!!" Zhu Tianyun opened the car window, reached out and patted on the car door, urging hoarsely.He was wearing a navy blue suit with a blue shirt as the bottom layer. The shirt was not buttoned properly, and the collar seemed to be wet with sweat, and a few locks of shiny hair were scattered on his forehead.He urged a few more times impatiently, with one hand still stretched out, he kept tapping on the car door.Si Zhao took the letter: "It's all right, I'll post it when I get out of the mountain and arrive in Chongshi. Teacher Zhu is here, let's go."

Xiao Zhang helped Si Zhao carry the luggage bag: "Send it to you."

The two went out together, and when they reached the door, Xiao Zhang greeted Zhu Tianyun who was sitting in the car: "Mr. Zhu, is the car repaired? Is there any problem?" She carried the luggage bag and walked to the trunk, mouthing He was still muttering, "Don't look at our remote mountains and remote places..."

Zhu Tianyun jumped out of the car suddenly, pointed at Xiao Zhang and shouted: "What are you doing?!"

His voice frightened Xiao Zhang very much, and he stood beside the car, not knowing what to do, he stammered, "Put your luggage... in the back of the car."

Zhu Tianyun got very angry, shook his fingers and cursed: "Who the hell told you to let go! You fucking..." Halfway through his words, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes, twitched his brows, immediately let go of his hands, turned his hands behind his back, and stared He wheezed at Xiao Zhang with scarlet eyes: "Put it down! You...you don't move!" He walked over in three steps at a time, snatched the luggage bag from Xiao Zhang's hand, opened the rear door, and opened the door. The bag was thrown up.

Xiao Zhang stood there in a daze, Si Zhao dug out a box of chocolate candies from the luggage bag he was carrying, handed it to Xiao Zhang, patted her with a smile, and said: "Then Teacher Zhu and I are going first, now I've been bothering you for a while."

Zhu Tianyun got into the car, and urged Si Zhao impatiently: "Hurry up! We won't be able to catch up with the conference!!"

Si Zhao responded and put the briefcase and luggage bag on the back seat.Zhu Tianyun urged twice again: "Can't you go!!"

Si Zhao held the map drawn by Xiao Zhang, sat in the passenger seat, and waved to Xiao Zhang: "Thank you, let's go."

Before Si Zhao put on his seat belt, Zhu Tianyun kicked the accelerator and drove the car out.In the blink of an eye, the guest house was left behind by them.Si Zhao glanced at Zhu Tianyun. He was frowning and concentrating on driving. There was a lot of sweat on his forehead, and the color of his shirt collar was getting darker.There were two bloody cuts on the back of his right hand.

Si Zhao opened the car window to blow the air, and said, "It's quite hot, Qiuhu."

Zhu Tianyun didn't reply.Si Zhao found a place to hang the hand-drawn map, glanced at the back row from the corner of his eye, and finally ruled out the luggage and there were two cardboard boxes piled up.Si Zhao asked, "Is the trunk broken?"

Zhu Tianyun nodded, touched a jade pendant hanging under the rearview mirror of the car, pointed to the glove box and said, "Take the belt."

Si Zhao dug out a cassette.He plays tapes in the car.Zhu Tianyun's voice sounded again in the car, still hoarse, a little more calm, and sounded very easy-going:

"Today we're going to talk about the concept that people make mistakes..."

A gust of gentle wind got into the car, the driveway narrowed, and the car was sandwiched between a stone wall and a dense forest.The forest is deep and claustrophobic, and there is no light from the sky.Si Zhao knew that they had entered Damin Mountain and were climbing up the mountain.The sun was dragged into the dense forest by the branches and buried, the autumn wind blew slowly, the mountain was not so hot anymore, Zhu Tianyun was still sweating non-stop.

Si Zhao said again: "Let me drive the car later, take a rest."

Zhu Tianyun still didn't say a word, he pursed his lips tightly, shifted gears, turned the steering wheel, and concentrated on it. The mountain road became narrower and narrower. The car can barely get through if it is stowed away.Fortunately, there were no other cars in front or behind, and the mountain road was scattered with the whispers of trees blown away by the wind, the sound of wheels passing over the gravel, and the voice of Zhu Tianyun who was speaking up and down in the tape: "Why do I say Is this a concept? Isn’t this a fact? Everyone makes mistakes, isn’t it? In fact, it doesn’t matter if you make mistakes.

"However, because people don't actually make mistakes. Do you think that Mr. Zhu is joking and talking nonsense? Everyone must have heard of 'human beings are born with good nature', right? Is it true that Mr. Zhu is this? What does it mean? It means that we are all kind-hearted people. In the process of growing up, because of the living environment and the environment in which we grew up, we formed some bad habits, such as greed and jealousy. Teacher Zhu will talk about it today It’s not about these, if you are here to listen to these, I think this Buddhist class, the Catholic Church may be more suitable for everyone.

"What we are going to discuss here today is... what is it? Please recall first, when we were young, did you know what is right and what is wrong when you are born? You eat when you are hungry, and you use Eating with your hands, adults say, you can’t do this, you have to learn to use spoons, chopsticks, it’s wrong to use your hands, I can say for sure, eating with your hands is the first mistake many people make in life , is the reason why many people are scolded by adults for the first time, but if you think about it carefully, is this really a mistake? Sir, that is, what is the reason why an authority forbids us to do this? It is because if we People will not criticize our children for eating with their hands, because children are ignorant, and people will only criticize this child for being rude, ill-educated, and lacking basic common sense, and everyone will blame the adults of this family If the child is not taught well, the adults will be blamed and criticized. What is the fear of human speech? It’s us, the mistakes are grafted onto us, we feel that it’s wrong to use our hands to eat, but how did humans evolve? Hunting and eating with hands is an instinct, which has nothing to do with right Wrong, so I said that "people make mistakes" is actually a concept, a group and hypnotic concept. We have never been the subject of making mistakes, but a moral standard created by the group, and a moral review is the subject of making mistakes. ..."

Zhu Tianyun's expression calmed down a bit, and he began to repeat along with the tape: "The main body that makes mistakes...everyone makes mistakes..."

Zhu Tianyun in the tape said: "We all say that we don't blame the public, that is to say, many people will not be punished if they do wrong things. Therefore, wrong behaviors and behaviors are constantly spread through the group..."

The speed gradually slowed down.Si Zhao said at this time: "You don't have to worry too much about the money..."

Zhu Tianyun nodded, and he turned up the volume a bit.He looks calm now.

"It's just in the process of growing up..."

The mountain road was bumpy, the car bumped, and there was a "long boom" sound from the back of the car.Zhu Tianyun wiped his forehead, held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and muttered: "There are no stupid people in the world, there are no stupid people, only people who don't meet the standards of this person's group... The same goes for criminals..."

Si Zhao asked, "Is Xiao Zhen okay? Is she tall?"

Zhu Tianyun suddenly raised his voice, and roared: "Our stupidity is actually out of serving the group! Not because of ourselves!! What we have to do is to get rid of the mistakes of these groups! We have to purify the entire group! To purify ourselves Goal!! We have to admit our stupidity! We have to face our own stupidity!! It’s all for!”

The wheels ran over a big rock, and the car jolted again. There seemed to be something rolling back and forth in the trunk, as if someone was knocking on the car door.Bang bang bang.

Si Zhao sat up straight, grabbed the handrail on the roof and said, "Mr. Zhu...or stop for a while, I'm a little motion sick..."

However, Zhu Tianyun drove faster and faster, almost stepping on the accelerator to pass the next curve: "It will be there soon! Bear with me!"

"I want to throw up..." Si Zhao covered his mouth, flicked his tail again, and turned another corner. He really wanted to throw up.He made a retching sound,

Zhu Tianyun cursed and stopped the car.Si Zhao pushed open the car door and staggered out of the car.Zhu Tianyun was sitting in the car lighting a cigarette, Si Zhao sneaked to the back of the car, he opened the trunk, and a girl came into his eyes—Xiao Zhen was lying in the trunk, her hands were tied by a tie He got up, with a handkerchief in his mouth, and looked at him with tears in his eyes.Si Zhao hurriedly took out the handkerchief from Xiao Zhen's mouth, and Xiao Zhen burst into tears: "Uncle, uncle, Dad... Dad, he..."

Si Zhao hurriedly untied the tie on her wrist, trying to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xiao Zhen, your father didn't do it on purpose, he just...don't be afraid, uncle will..."

Xiao Zhen burst into tears.When the tie was untied, Si Zhao raised his head and met the eyes of Zhu Tianyun, who was sitting on the car and looking at the rearview mirror. A trace of panic flashed in Zhu Tianyun's eyes, and he drove the car forward abruptly. In the trunk, Si Zhao reached out to grab her out but was in vain, the car shook, Xiao Zhen fell to the side, and the trunk lid slapped up and down twice to cover it.

Si Zhao chased the car and shouted: "Old Zhu!! Are you crazy??!"

At this moment, a Santana car suddenly drove down from the mountain, and it was so fast that it collided with Zhu Tianyun's car. Si Zhao subconsciously closed his eyes, crouched down with his head in his arms, and heard " Ping pong pong" There was a chaotic sound, the smell of gasoline filled the air, and it seemed that something else was burning.After a while, peace was restored in the mountain, and the tree began to whisper again.Si Zhao opened his eyes and saw that Zhu Tianyun's car rolled over into the woods beside the mountain road, and the Santana that flew down the mountain was hanging upside down on the branch of a nanmu tree. , the branch broke, and Santana fell off the hillside.Si Zhao gasped, chased after him, and vaguely saw a few people lying in disorder in the woods.He swallowed his saliva, thought of Xiao Zhen, looked around, and found her in a nearby bush.

Xiao Zhen's head was covered with blood, her eyelids were trembling, and she was still angry. There was no obvious trauma on her body.As soon as Si Zhao held the back of her head and picked her up, Xiao Zhen coughed.Si Zhao protected her head, carried her and went down the mountain.The little girl kept calling her mother.After leaving the forest, he returned to the small town in the mountains. From afar, Si Zhao saw the guest house he had left earlier. Xiao Zhen had recovered a bit now, and could already open her eyes, speak, and speak. I went down by myself.Si Zhao asked her, "Can I walk? Does it hurt anywhere?"

Xiao Zhen nodded and pointed to her shoulder.

"Have a headache?"

Xiao Zhen shook his head, Si Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, wiped Xiao Zhen's face with a handkerchief, and smiled at her, Xiao Zhen looked at the back of his hand with tears in his eyes.Only then did Si Zhao realize that a shard of glass had been stuck on the back of his hand. He pulled out the shard and said to Xiao Zhen, "Xiao Zhen, your father didn't do it on purpose, you go to the police uncle and tell them that you want to Find mom, here is your mom's phone number."

He dipped some of his own blood, wrote a string of numbers on the handkerchief, and handed it to Xiao Zhen.Xiao Zhen sobbed, holding on to the hem of his clothes without moving.

"I still want to see how your father is doing. Don't be afraid, Xiao Zhen, don't be afraid...you will be fine. You can go and find your mother, okay?" Si Zhao gently straightened Xiao Zhen's messy long hair. Zhen nodded again, Si Zhao pushed her two steps forward, Xiao Zhen looked at him, and walked slowly towards the guest house clutching a handkerchief.

After watching Xiao Zhen enter the guest house, Si Zhaocai ran back in the direction of the car accident.The mountain forest was remote, and no one had discovered the tragic car accident. Si Zhao found Zhu Tianyun's car, shouted for a long time, and searched around but couldn't find Zhu Tianyun.He went down the hill to look for it. Along the way, he saw his and Zhu Tianyun's luggage bags, and also saw his own briefcase. The box fell open and the lock was broken. The returned letters inside were scattered all over the place. Pick up the letter while walking, and put the letter in the briefcase.He also found an empty luggage bag with the words "Children's Palace, North China District, Chongshi City" printed on it, and it did not belong to him or Zhu Tianyun.

Si Zhao also saw some bloody strangers, like people who had been thrown out of Santana. There were four of them in total, all of them were men. Black jacket, black pants, black shoes.They all died.

He also found a black pistol on the edge of a mossy rock.

Si Zhao swallowed his saliva, held his briefcase and continued to call Zhu Tianyun.He was nowhere to be seen.Nowhere is there a second living being to be seen.

At the bottom of this wooded hillside, there is still a forest, and further away, there seems to be a grass.Si Zhao walked in the woods at the foot of the hill and shouted loudly: "Teacher Zhu!"

The sun was surrounded by densely packed branches, the sky was gloomy, and it was difficult for him to tell the direction.

"teacher Zhu!"

He called out again, but still no answer.A cardboard box appeared in the woods.Si Zhao picked up the cardboard box and put it on the ground. The box was empty. Suddenly he wanted to cry, so he stood beside the box and wept. After crying for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see people. To die is to see a corpse!"

He rubbed his eyes, and suddenly found that many booklets with the words "break through self, subvert the routine" printed on the cover were scattered around the carton. Several of the booklets were covered with mud footprints. A trail going in a particular direction.Si Zhao followed these footprints, and after a while, he walked out of the woods and walked into a patch of waist-high weeds.In this season when the grass is muddy and the rain is abundant, there is roughly a shoal here.

"Si Zhao!"

Someone yelled, very similar to Zhu Tianyun, but clearer and louder than his voice.Who will it be?

Si Zhao hurriedly searched for the sound, and saw Zhu Tianyun standing in the distance waving at him.

"Si Zhao!"

It was really Zhu Tianyun calling him.His voice became so clear and sonorous, and became so full of energy.I saw Zhu Tianyun bent down and straightened up again, something was added to both hands.He waved his arms towards Si Zhao.The sun outside the forest was hanging high, sharing its light with everything on the earth without hesitation. The light fell on Zhu Tianyun's hand. What he held in his hand seemed to be two beams of golden light, and the golden light quickly spread to the entire world. Behind him, so that his whole body is glowing.His person changed too, he became so tall, so radiant.

Si Zhao almost knelt on the ground.He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, barely suppressed the urge to kneel down, built a tent in front of his forehead, narrowed his eyes, he saw Zhu Tianyun opened his arms, hands facing the sky, and laughed and said: "Si Zhao, This is the revelation that God gave us!! It is God who wants us to change the world!"

Zhu Tianyun's mouth was covered with blood, and there was also blood on his forehead.He kept squirting blood as he spoke.The golden beam in his hand was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

Si Zhao looked back and looked at the way he had traveled.The smell of gasoline seems to be getting stronger.
