The Heartless Mage Chapter 160: New faction
The spring rain is falling, and the rustling falls, moistening things silently. The cosmos and the grass turned green together, and the slightly blooming buds were held up by the slender stems.
Su Tao hasn't washed her face for three days, and the water is too limited, just enough to drink. The bruises and bruises on her gray-headed face are no longer painful, but the color is getting thicker, with red blood spots under the bruises, and faint yellowing on the edges of the bruises. Looking up at Wuxin, she looked at Wuxin's face and fingers. Wuxin also did not wash his face for three days, but it was not dirty. A piece of wool was stretched on his slender fingers, and it was a complex pattern.
"Look, I turned over the 'bench'." Wuxin smiled at Su Tao: "It's your turn."
Su Tao withdrew her gaze and hooked the yarn with the little fingers of both hands. On a light rainy day, a piece of wool is enough for them to turn a flower rope for half a day. The fingers took the initiative to pick, but they were entangled in the wool. Su Tao suddenly didn't want to play anymore, she raised one hand to catch the woolen thread between Wuxin's fingers, she raised the other hand and touched Wuxin's eyebrows. With her fingertips drawn from the brow to the end of her brow, she lived to be fifteen years old, and Wuxin was the most beautiful man she had ever seen.
Inadvertently thought it was because his eyebrows were dirty, so he leaned over and tilted his head, closed his eyes and let Su Tao clean up for himself. Su Tao gently brushed his eyelashes with the belly of her fingers, he slowly opened his eyes, and the eyelashes swept across her heart.
My heart is full, there are winds, rains and sunny days. She turned her head and looked out the window. The broken walls and rubble of the idle flowers and weeds outside the window were washed clean by the light rain, as clean as inadvertently.
It wasn't quiet in the ruins either. As soon as the light rain stopped in the afternoon, the distant street was buzzing with gongs and drums. There are parades and celebrations every day, because Wenxian has just established a revolutionary committee. At the beginning of the year, Wang Hongwen established the country's first revolutionary committee in Shanghai, and made a vigorous start. Since then, the revolutionary committee has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and began to sprout all over the country. Governments at all levels have been overthrown, and the Revolutionary Committee is the new revolutionary government. After Chen Daguang made a comeback and returned to Wenxian County, the first was "it is advisable to use the remaining brave to chase the poor bandits", sweeping the city of allied elements; the second is occupying the former county government compound, and hastily established a revolutionary committee. The self-proclaimed director is equivalent to the former county magistrate. The reason, not to mention Chen Daguang, who has been in the college for four years, even if he changed the team leader of the village, he can still understand the same thing - some sweetness is first come first served, whoever gets a firm foothold in Wenxian first If no one is stable and there is always a melee, then the superior may directly send an army to suppress all enemies in a county.
Wu Xin didn't dare to go to the street, and lived in the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School every day. The leftover steamed buns and biscuits left in the cafeteria were quickly eaten up by them, and there were still a lot of cans left over. Canned food was originally a rarity, but it was unbearable to eat it every day. At noon, Wuxin basks in the sun with his hands in his sleeves, and really wants to eat fresh hot meals and hot dishes. Occasionally, a big mouse would pass by on the ruins. He licked his lips, thinking that it would be good to catch a mouse and roast it, but Su Tao was still by his side, so he was a little embarrassed to eat a mouse in front of a little girl.
Su Tao sat beside him, holding a large glass bottle in both hands, looking up to drink the remaining fruit juice in the bottle. Bai Liuli was lying on the side, just swallowed a large piece of canned beef, her stomach was deformed a little, and she couldn't crawl at all.
Just when everything was quiet, the two suddenly heard a car approaching Yizhong from far and near. Su Tao was so frightened that she immediately put down the glass bottle, picked up Bai Liuli and stuffed it into her schoolbag. Wuxin turned around and exposed a pair of eyes from the top of the low wall, looking at the door of Yizhong from a distance.
The small street in front of No. 1 Middle School has been silent for a long time, and there is no life except cats and dogs on weekdays. Two large trucks were parked outside the school gate one after the other, and a young man in green uniform jumped out of the truck and fought back, striding forward with a rifle on his back to tear the seal.
Wuxin shrank back and whispered to Su Tao, "It should be from Mr. Hong, maybe he's here to move things."
Su Tao pointed to the broken house not far away: "Let's go in and hide."
Wu Xin was about to answer when suddenly she felt something different beside her. Turning his head to look, he was shocked to see a big fat wolf dog standing on the rubble, staring at people with a pair of ears. Before waiting for Wuxin to respond, the big wolf dog opened his mouth and barked loudly.
Wu Xin jumped at it with a single stride, trying to grab it by the neck. However, the wolf dog is also quite clever, and is not willing to sit still. In an instant, it barked a lot again, alarming the people on the street. Someone shouted and ran to the ruins, holding up the rifle while running, and without warning, he directly pulled the trigger and fired a row of bullets.
A row of bullets flew past Wuxin's scalp, Wuxin hugged the wolf dog, and immediately surrendered unconditionally. And because he knew that he and Su Tao were suspicious, the other party could fully implement the dictatorship of the proletariat and rectify himself and Su Tao on the spot; so he let go of the wolf dog and raised his hand, he said to the person who came: "I want to see Chen Daguang."
The youth in green uniform roared: "Want to see Director Chen? Is Director Chen the one you want to see?"
Wuxin immediately replied: "I practiced boxing with Chen Daguang, and he knew me. I left before the boxing was finished, and he may still be looking for me!"
The green uniform looked at him suspiciously, his finger still on the trigger.
Half an hour later, Wuxin and Su Tao, who had their hands tied behind their backs, and several sets of good tables and chairs shipped from the first middle building, got on the truck together. The truck transported people and things into the compound of the Revolutionary Committee. Chen Daguang stood in the compound, unprepared and unintentionally meeting each other.
"Yo!" He stood in the yard like an Optimus Prime, looking up and down Wuxin: "You?"
Wuxin smiled at him with shame and shame: "Chen... Director, it's me."
Chen Daguang gave Su Tao another look, feeling that the girl was unkempt and couldn't look at it anymore: "Where have you gone?"
Wuxin stared at the ground slantingly, and replied meaningfully: "We have nowhere to go, so we just lived in the ruins opposite the middle school for a few days. Let the dog catch..."
Before he finished speaking, the green uniforms who escorted them along the way were furious on the spot: "Who are you scolding?"
Wuxin turned around and nodded to him: "I didn't say you, I said a real dog."
The green uniform is like fire and can't bear humiliation: "What do you mean? Who is a fake dog?"
WuXin hadn't eaten or drank for several days in a row, and was a little dazed: "There are no fake dogs, it's all real."
Since Chen Daguang became the director of the Revolutionary Committee, he has quickly cultivated a bit of official prestige. At this moment, he flipped the green uniform with one eyelid, and he asked Wuxin with his hands behind his back: "What are you doing with me?"
Indifferent and listless, he replied, "I'm afraid that they will be regarded as syndicates, so..."
Chen Daguang stared: "So what?"
Wuxin thought about it for a while, and then continued: "So Director Chen, I want to have a discussion with you. You give us three meals a day, and I will accompany you to practice kung fu at any time. In addition to practicing kung fu, I can also be responsible for I'll run errands and do odd jobs for you, okay?"
Chen Daguang raised his hand and scratched his head, realizing that as long as Wuxin opened his mouth, he would dream of returning to the old society. After changing his posture of standing proudly with his hands on his hips, he found a bit of the feeling of an old landlord because he was standing in front of a newly-baked dog's leg.
Chen Daguang is a martial artist, and he thinks highly of Wuxin's Qinggong. It would be a pity to push a master out and kill him. But it's not dead, and it's too cheap for him. Touching his chin and blinking his eyes, Director Chen encountered an unsolvable problem. Intentional punched Wuxin into the air, but with Wuxin's speed, he was likely to punch in the air and make a fool of himself in public.
When all the wooden guys on the truck were moved into the room of the Revolutionary Committee, and the driver drove the truck out of the compound, Chen Daguang finally said again: "When are you going to run next time?"
Wuxin bent over to him: "If we don't run, we can't even eat, so where else can we run."
Chen Daguang nodded, then raised two small club-like fingers: "I have two words for you. First, put away the stinky virtues of your Kuomintang reactionaries! I don't like the little white face the most, you If you dare to play tricks with Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will kill you! Second, Lao Tzu doesn’t need you to dance, write and play with your pen. Do you turn back and see the small room at the door? Go in and show Lao Tzu the door! And this one you brought Blue-faced beasts, make your own arrangements. We are the compound of the Revolutionary Committee, and we can't control your gang of ghosts and snakes, do you know?"
Wuxin calmly breathed a sigh of relief—I had been with the United Finger for dozens of days, and I don't know where I came from. I was lucky to get a job guarding the gate of the Revolutionary Committee compound.
The county government is a row of neat bungalows. When Wuxin first arrived in Wenxian, he climbed over the back wall and stole official stamps and melon seeds and persimmons from the government office requisitioned by Hong Zong. Chen Daguang does not talk about pomp, but only looks at history. Walking in the large courtyard of the county government, he was happy physically and mentally, and he was very proud of his ancestors.
The old man who used to guard the gate of the county government compound, because his son is the leader of the joint finger, so now the whole family is unknown. Wuxin occupied the mail room cabin, and after a busy afternoon, he mastered all the work. There were militiamen standing guard at the entrance of the compound of the Revolutionary Committee, and he was not in charge of important affairs. All he had to do was collect newspapers and letters and sweep the courtyard in the morning.
There is only one single bed in the mail room, and at night, Wuxin loses his mind. After all, Su Tao is a girl. It's fine for the two of them to sleep in the same room. It's too inappropriate to squeeze a bed, or a narrow single bed. Wuxin found a few old newspapers to spread on the ground: "Tao Tao, you sleep on yours, I'll make the floor."
Su Tao washed her hair in the afternoon and wiped her ears and neck clean: "Wuxin, the ground is too cold. Let's sleep with our heads and feet upside down, and we won't take up any space if our heads and feet are upside down."
Wanxin lay down on the newspaper, and rolled Su Tao's coat into a roll and stuffed it under her head: "I'll deal with it for one night first, if it's really cold, I'll talk about it tomorrow. Let's sleep, we're lucky today. I don't want to think about it anymore, let's eat it for a few days and then talk about it."
Wuxin stayed up all night on the ground and woke up early the next morning. There was also a cafeteria in the Revolutionary Committee, which had not yet opened in the early hours of the morning, but hot water was available all night. Wuxin went out to fill a kettle of boiling water, and then drank it slowly after returning to the room. She turned her head and glanced at Su Tao, the room was dark, Su Tao was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Indifferently, he turned his face away, halfway through, he suddenly turned to Su Tao again, and found Bai Liuli's round head sticking out of Su Tao's bed.
Wuxin tiptoed forward, slowly pulled Bai Liuli out of the quilt, tied it with a bow, then bent over and threw it under the bed.
