The Heartless Mage Chapter 139: Meet
Su Tao sobbed as she shook her flashlight, bent over and ran forward. The dark passage was endless, and only her heavy breathing echoed from the front and back. At this time, there are still forty minutes before she and Wuxin meet.
Wuxin is still looking around and walking on a deserted street. There are rows of trees on one side of the small street, and the wasteland outside the trees; on the other side, a high red wall is built, and there is silence inside the red wall. Wuxin guessed that there should be an organ within the red wall based on his experience of traveling from south to north in recent months, but it is uncertain what it is.
He lowered his head and fastened his empty and deflated schoolbag, and tidied up the blue cloth worker in his suit. Finally, he squatted down, and he tightened the laces of the puja shoes on his feet. He stole the sneakers from the Red Guard Reception Station of Nankai University. At that time, dozens of people slept in a large classroom. After he woke up in the early morning, he got out of the Chase shop made of desks and looked down to see a pair of brand-new sneakers on the ground. , he put it on quietly, slipped out of the university with his schoolbag in his arms, and went straight to the train station.
The schoolbag is empty and deflated, as is his stomach. Of course, Wenxian County also has a Red Guard reception station, but the struggle here is obviously extremely fierce. The train station and the main street are filled with parades, and he can't find a receptionist for a while. No, no, he always has a way to fill his stomach. He raised his head and looked at the red wall that was as high as one person. When he saw that the top of the wall was flat, he made up his mind, and wanted to climb over the wall and explore the situation inside.
Seeing that there was no one left or right, he took two steps back and ran up to the wall. Clinging to the top of the wall with both hands, he shook his head and wiggled his tail a few times, and easily slid half of his body into the wall. Looking down, he saw a row of neat red brick buildings not far from the high wall. The sun was shining, the weather was warm, and the rear windows of the tile-roofed house were opened in twos and threes, and it could be seen that there was no one in the house. As for the situation ahead of the house, it is not known.
Wuxin jumped over the wall gently and skilfully, and leaned against the wide open window, slowly raising his head and looking inward. There is a large desk by the window in the room. On the table are piles of documents, an unscrewed pen, a handful of sunflower seeds, and a few persimmons. A plate of red ink pad was placed on the document, and a large wooden seal stood on the ink pad. The door facing the back window was also open, and two half-old children in old military uniforms were probably taking on the duties of guards, standing at the door with their backs to the room, occasionally shaking their bodies from side to side.
Wu Xin saw the appearance of the guards and guessed that this place should be the headquarters of the rebels somewhere. Slowly straightening his waist, he opened his schoolbag and shot like lightning. In the blink of an eye, the melon seeds and persimmons all fell on the little white snake. Seeing that the drawer under the desk was unlocked, he slowly opened the drawer while staring at the movement of the guard at the door. One hand suddenly became infinite, and he grabbed a large amount of national food stamps in the drawer.
Close the drawer carefully, he wants to withdraw. He hesitated before withdrawing, but he did something wrong and put the red official seal on the table into his schoolbag. Turning around and running up the wall, he flew over the eaves and walked back to the path outside the wall.
Standing behind the tree to count the stolen goods, he counted the food coupons and put them in the inner pocket of the school bag; he opened a stack of documents, and after a closer look, it turned out that it was not a document, but a stack of documents that did not look up. Blank letter of introduction.
In today's world, a letter of introduction can be useful. Inadvertently, I folded the blank letter of introduction neatly and put it in another mezzanine pocket. He didn't read the official seal carefully, just wrapped it in paper and threw it in the back of the bag. Grabbing a handful of melon seeds and holding them in his hand, he set out on the road, nibbling on the melon seeds as he walked forward. Many, many years ago, he remembered that he had been to Wenxian, but there seemed to be no connection between that Wenxian and the current Wenxian. Wenxian County is now an industrial zone, because iron ore was explored in the nearby Zhutou Mountain, and the iron ore attracted a steel factory. After the steel factory developed and expanded, a new large machinery factory also settled in Wenxian. In the county seat, native-born Wenxian people account for a minority, and more residents are workers' families who have moved from other places. From the perspective of prosperity alone, Wenxian is not inferior to ordinary cities.
The melon seeds were knocking all the way, and I was getting more and more hungry. I planned to find a small restaurant for a meal. Unexpectedly, when he swallowed the last grain of melon seeds, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the distance, which was a big explosion. Wuxin paused, and at the same time saw a gray-faced shadow climb up the roadbed from behind the trees. Holding the tree in his hand and looking into the distance, the shadow shivered, and then squatted down and didn't move.
Wuxin was inexplicable, because it seemed that there were two long braids with thorns drooping behind the ears. It could be seen that she was a girl, and she was a little girl, so she kindly stepped forward and said: "Are you afraid? It's okay, the explosion is away from us It's far away, I can't break you."
Su Tao raised her head with tears in her eyes, and saw the Red Guard armband on Wuxin's arm at a glance. The bright red armband was like a splash of blood, stabbing her eyes. And she was squatting on the sloping roadbed, but at this moment she was frightened and lost her balance. Holding her knees and leaning back, before she could speak, she rolled down in a back air. Wuxin bowed amiably and was kicked in the chin by the liberation shoes on her feet. Ah Ya raised his head, the tip of his tongue hurts, and the blood has been bitten by his teeth. And Su Tao rolled onto the field below the roadbed. Climbing up on all fours, she looked up at Wuxin in a panic, and at the same time, her mouth became wider and wider, revealing an undisguised cry.
Wuxin rubbed her chin and looked down at her: "Are you all right?"
Su Tao wanted to escape, but couldn't. Her legs were trembling to support her body. She raised her fingers and pointed in the direction of the explosion. She opened her mouth without making a sound. She only said with airflow and mouth shape: "Dad...it's my dad..."
Tears gushed out of the corners of her eyes and slid across her cheeks. She risked her life. In the turbulent atmosphere, she told Wuxin in a high and low voice: "My father is dead... I have nowhere to run. If you want to kill, kill me. I have nothing to explain, I am not afraid of death..."
Wu Xin vaguely understood: "Your father..." He thought and used a new word: "Have you cut yourself off from the people?"
Su Tao was wearing a half-new military uniform with long sleeves, her hands clenched into fists and tucked into her cuffs. Her body was tense and hunched forward into a bow. She cried under the hot spring sun with tears all over her face: "My father is not guilty... My father did not oppose Chairman Mao..."
Wuxin understood it completely. Seeing Su Tao crying, his face was red and his ears were red.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." He patted his chest: "I don't care about your family affairs, I'm from out of town. What about your mother? It's no use crying alone, I'll take you to your mother. ."
Su Tao shook her head, tears kept flowing, but her cry was always choked in her throat: "Mom is gone, and my mother was forced to death."
Wu Xin felt sympathy and walked down the tree with the help of the tree: "There's something to say, it's all mud. Don't worry, I'm a passerby, and I won't report you or expose you."
Avoiding the mud puddles left by the light rain last night, I inadvertently took out a handkerchief from my trouser pocket. Hesitantly raised a hand, he wanted to wipe Su Tao's tears, but Su Tao's age was between a little girl and a big girl, making the opposite **** unsure how to treat her. Seeing that Su Tao was sobbing, she held her back with one hand, and wiped her tears and snot with a handkerchief with the other. The dust on her face was wiped away with her tears and tears. Su Tao raised her head slightly in the golden sunlight, showing two curved eyebrows and a pair of clear eyes. The brushstrokes of her eyebrows were soft, and the color of her eyes was distinct. She opened her mouth and took a breath, and the soft corners of her mouth twitched.
Wuxin pads her hands with a handkerchief, and finally twists the tip of her nose again: "Don't cry, think about what to do next?"
Su Tao shook her head, the hair on the back of her head was combed and braided, and the clear hair seam rubbed Wuxin's palm: "I don't know, I have no relatives." She took a breath: "My father An orphan." He exhaled again: "My grandfather is a landlord." He continued to exhale: "Last year, he and his grandmother let the rebels give to—" Finally exhaled: "Buried alive."
Wanxin saw her sweating so hard that she couldn't ask any questions. She cried hard and didn't feel good, and it was hard to answer. She must be desperate, if she left her alone, she would be very unbearable. What a handsome little girl, if she really falls into the hands of the rebels, she will die. But if you take care of her, how will you take care of her?
"If you trust me, just follow me." He whispered: "I don't know where to go, just take a step by step. If you don't believe me, I'll give you ten catties of national food stamps, Then go their separate ways. How is it? You say it."
Su Tao lowered her head and said nothing.
Inadvertently seeing that she didn't speak, she took out a few food stamps from her schoolbag and put them into her hands. However, she withdrew her hand, but she refused to.
Wuxin held the food stamp and paused: "You want to... come with me?"
Su Tao remained silent.
Wuxin took her hand, turned around and took a step towards Luji. He took a step, and Su Tao followed; he stopped and looked back at Su Tao, who lowered his head deeply and ignored him.
With an unintentional smile, he dragged her and ran up the roadbed with a few strides. Standing firm on the path, he patted Su Tao from top to bottom and asked, "What's your name? How old are you?"
Su Tao didn't dare to make a sound, she couldn't hold back her tears when she made a sound, so she could only hum the mosquito: "Su Tao, fifteen."
Inadvertently opened her schoolbag and wanted to get her dried persimmons. But when he looked down, he was taken aback. There used to be at least five persimmons in the schoolbag, but now there is only one left. The other one was also bitten by the little white snake.
Wanxin was so angry that he stabbed a chestnut on the snake's head, then secretly squeezed the snake's mouth in his schoolbag, and plucked the persimmon from its barbed teeth. Fortunately, the persimmon cake is basically intact, but there are two holes left, which are the tooth marks of the little white snake. Bai Liuli hid in the body of the little white snake and gave Wuxin a dissatisfied look.
Stuffing the dried persimmons from the snake's mouth into Su Tao's hand, he, like a big brother, took her other hand and walked forward: "Eat, you are a big man, you must Live well. When you live well, your dead relatives can rest in peace."
Bai Liuli hid in her schoolbag. She hadn't heard Wuxin say such a reasonable thing for a few days, so she curiously stuck her head out of the gap in her schoolbag, trying to peep at the object of Wuxin's flattery. Unexpectedly, Wuxin's senses are very keen, and as soon as his head saw the sun, he was stabbed back by Wuxin's finger.
Wuxin and Su Tao had nowhere to live, and they walked aimlessly through a small street, but they saw a large campus. The school gate was not locked, and a row of black characters was written on the wooden sign at the gate, which was "No. 1 Middle School for Children of Wenxian Heavy Machinery Factory".
Schools are now closed, there is no bike in the bicycle shed on the side of the playground, the mail room is closed, and the windows are gray. Seeing this inadvertently, he turned his head and said, "Su Tao, let's go in and see? If there's no one there, you can find a place to stay, and I'll go out and buy something to eat."
Su Tao is still holding the persimmon, but she can look up and face Wuxin: "Well."
Wuxin still held her hand, sometimes she felt like a little sister, it was natural; sometimes she felt like a pretty girl, sorry. Entering the campus like an adventure, he and Su Tao first walked into the teaching building in the middle of the playground. Wuxin walked to the end of the corridor on the first floor and took Su Tao into an empty classroom. The window of the empty classroom faced the side of the building, and he instructed Su Tao: "Squat in the corner and don't show your face easily. Once someone comes, jump out of the window and run into the bushes. I'll come back after I buy food. , what would you like to eat?"
Su Tao lowered her head and opened her schoolbag, took out two yuan from it and handed it to Wuxin: "Let's partner... I'll pay for your food stamps."
Wu Xin really had no money, so she happily accepted the bill: "What do you want to eat?"
Su Tao shook her head: "I'll eat whatever you want."
Wuxin agreed, and then instructed her: "Squat down, don't doze off, pay attention to the movement outside, and remember what I said."
Su Tao immediately walked to the corner by the window and squatted down with her knees in her arms: "I know."
Wu Xin saw that she seemed to have calmed down, so she was relieved. He opened a window and half-closed it, he nodded to Su Tao again, then turned and walked out.
