41 ["Brothers" - Mizuru Oshima]

"Chang Liangyan, have you really drawn a line with your parents?"

"……real."

"Okay, then hurry up and expose, besides engaging in privileges, using public funds, breaking away from the masses, and eating special melons and fruits, what else did they do? What else did they say?!"

"...It's gone, it's really gone."

"Think about it again. If you want to expose major mistakes and typical problems, don't avoid the serious ones and ignore the minor ones! There are big bads and small bad ones. Don't try to cover up the big bad ones with small bad ones!"

"I...I...I really don't know..." Chang Liangyan lowered his head, not daring to take another look at her parents.

She knew that they were being escorted to kneel on the ground, wearing shackles, and their faces had already been painted in a mess.

"I see you, you still haven't drawn a line with these counter-revolutionaries!"

"No, I really don't know..."

"Expose!"

"Yes, expose it!"

"Expose major mistakes, expose typical problems!"

The slogan became louder and louder.

"Expose major mistakes, expose typical problems!"

"Expose major mistakes, expose typical problems!"

A red armband pressed Chang Liangyan in front of her parents, forcing her to see their faces painted beyond recognition.The face on the left was painted with a bloody mouth, with red crosses all over the cheeks, and half of the face on the right had no hair, and the whole face was painted black.Both pairs of eyes on those two faces were looking at her, their eye sockets were red, and there were water marks under both pairs of eyes, and the paint had smudged.

Those two pairs of eyes reminded her of watching a butcher slaughter a cow once, and that's how cows look at people.

When it comes to slaughter, there is no difference between humans and animals.

"I, I remembered..." Chang Liangyan reached out and wiped off the paint on the two faces, "I remembered."

"What do you remember? I warn you again, don't try to cover up big mistakes with small mistakes, and big problems with small problems! Expose the key points, expose the typical!"

Chang Liang said: "It's the key point, it's a typical example."

"Okay! Say it!"

"It's not their business...it's..." Chang Liangyan stared at the ground, his throat tightened, "I'll expose others..."

"Don't hesitate to try to get away with it!"

"I'll expose others!" Chang Liangyan shouted, "Someone, someone... In this city, there is a pair of brothers, they, they...chaos...chaos..."

"What's the mess?!"

"They... their brothers incest!"

As soon as the word "Lun" was uttered, the red armbands immediately became excited. This was really a major mistake, a typical problem, and it was worth criticizing more than all the counter-revolutionaries in the city put together.

All kinds of criticism meetings have been going on for so many days, I didn't expect such a meeting to happen, it's really...

The faces of the red armbands read: Such a mediocre behavior is really outrageous; but in the eyes read: It's so novel and interesting, more interesting than uncles and ashes.

The leader asked Chang Liangyan sharply: "Who are these two people you exposed?!"

Chang Liangyan pursed his lips, and also pretended to be in the same hatred: "I'm afraid you won't find it, so I'll take you there!"

The leader clenched his fist: "Okay, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he wanted to appoint someone to stay and watch the two counter-revolutionaries kneeling on the ground.But no one wanted to stay, they all said that it was a huge mistake, the nature was particularly serious, who could not rush to criticize it?That's right, after all, these capitalist-roader cadres have seen too much and criticized too much, so that's all. But on the other hand, it's a rare thing, who would let this opportunity go?

The leader thought for a while, and then said: "Since today's criticism and struggle meeting for these two counter-revolutionaries is almost over, and it's not too early today, let's stop here temporarily. Let's work together to catch typical problems and major mistakes. Grasp the main contradiction! Chang Liangyan, you lead the way!"

Chang Liangyan glanced back at the two painted faces, and said silently: "Let's go." After speaking, he passed through the crowd that made way for her, and walked towards He's house step by step.

The door of the He Family Courtyard was wide open, and the inside was dilapidated, just like the houses that this group of people passed by when they came.

"Let let, let let—"

Chang Liangyan turned his head and saw that it was an old man riding a tricycle, wearing a straw hat and holding a straw in his mouth.

The old man parked the tricycle in front of He's house, and said to the red armbands, "There's a dead person inside, I'll go and pull it out."

When the leader's red armband heard that things had changed, he didn't know if the criticism meeting would be successful, so he hurriedly asked, "Who is dead? Is this brother dead?"

Chang Liangyan's heart, which he was carrying all the way, was suddenly pulled, and she seemed to relax after the sharp pain. She couldn't tell if she really hoped that He Yulou was dead, so that she didn't have to explain to him anymore.

The old man waved his hand: "No, it's a woman, a widow, who hanged herself."

Now the leader's red armband was relieved, and when he thought that the criticism meeting could be held as usual, he just casually criticized: "Oh, these people use this method to protest and express their hatred and dissatisfaction with the revolution. If you die without repentance and cut yourself off from the people, no one can save you."

The old man stared at the leader: "Yes, no one can be saved, no one can be saved... Then, what are the young generals doing here where there is no one to be saved?"

"It's not that girl, there are brothers in this family." The leader said impatiently, "You'll find out later, don't get in the way, get out of the way."

"Brothers of this family...then I'll go and take the dead away first, so as not to get in your way, wait a minute, you don't know when he died, it must be very smelly inside." After the old man finished speaking, he Pushing the tricycle towards the inside, he couldn't push it very quickly, and the wheel accidentally rolled over the leader's instep heavily, and gasps and shouts came from behind him immediately.

But no one immediately followed the old man in, because they thought it stinks.

The old man kept walking inside.He was called by He Yulou. When He Yulou looked for him, he still had a suicide note in his hand, saying that he had to leave today, and he didn't have to take anything with him. Only his parents had to borrow his tricycle to take him away.

"Where are people?" The old man yelled loudly on purpose, "You counter-revolutionaries, it doesn't matter if you make me wait, there are brave young revolutionary generals outside, how can you let them wait?"

The door opened, and on the floor lay two bodies, wrapped in sheets, one of which was so decomposed that it smelled disgusting.

He Yulou picked up a body and put it on the tricycle.

The old man lowered his voice and whispered into He Yulou's ear, "Little brat, do you know what those people outside are doing here?"

He Yulou went back and carried another body out, then closed the door: "Yes, clean up, drive us to the countryside."

"No!" The old man slapped He Yulou on the back and growled, "They just said that they came to look for your brothers. I think someone exposed your two brothers. It seems to be the leading girl. Now They want to arrest you for a criticism meeting."

You two brothers were exposed...

He Yulou looked at the old man with no expression on his face.

The old man lowered his voice and cursed angrily: "What do you think I am doing? I said that you really don't understand a thing. Now at this juncture, you still want to fight with me who has the most backbone? Your parents will lie to you!" Come on, do you want them to look at your family's successor?"

He Yulou looked at the two bodies lying on the tricycle, bent his knees, and knelt down heavily.

The old man was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to slap He Yulou: "Are you going to sue your parents and die?"

He Yulou bent down and kowtowed to the old man.

That knock was heavy, and there was a "dong", the old man's hand that was about to hit someone was suddenly suspended in the air, and he said in horror: "Why do you beg me?"

He Yulou knelt straight and said: "There is an old house in my ancestors, with 36 rooms. There is a pond in front and a mountain in the back. Please, please bury my parents on that mountain for me."

The old man asked, "Then where are you going?"

He Yulou kowtowed again: "I beg you to bury my parents on that mountain for me."

The old man stomped his feet angrily: "Stupid, stupid! You are the stupidest person I have ever met!"

He Yulou kowtowed for the third time: "Thank you."

After knocking, he stood up and said to the old man, "Help me look outside."

He Yulou opened the door, Wen Yuean was still in the living room, he couldn't kneel, he could only lean on the ground, and stayed beside Gu Jiapei and He Shenping with He Yulou.

Without saying a word, He Yulou hugged Wen Yuean and ran to Wen Yuean's bedroom.

Wen Yuean didn't hear what He Yulou said outside the house, so she didn't know what he was going to do.

He Yulou put Wen Yue on the floor, next to the bed.

"Yuean...listen." He Yulou couldn't use one hand, so he could only support Wen Yuean's body with his elbows, and looked down at him very close, "Someone is here now, and they are here to drive people away. Do you still remember, when I was a child, I got into trouble and always hid under your bed..."

Wen Yuean nodded slightly.

"You stay here and come out after they leave." He Yulou took the initiative to put one of his wrists on Wen Yuean's fingertips to reassure him, "Don't be afraid. My mother...so careful people will find you If they don't, they won't find it."

Wen Yuean couldn't help but said: "Then you..."

He Yulou looked into Wen Yuean's eyes, and his voice was low and slow. The vibrations of his Adam's apple and chest seemed to be the same as the heartbeats of the two of them. After a while, they joined together: "Where I go, there is no piano. I will not play the piano in the future." I don’t want to see you anymore. But you still want to play.”

He Yulou gently wiped away the tears from Wen Yuean's face, and said word by word: "Wen Yuean, from now on, you will carry the He family's piano with your hands and keep playing. No matter what the world has become, Even if there is no more sun and moon, and there are many bones, you can't escape, you can't die, you have to live forever, pass on the piano, like my parents taught you, like I taught you, teach your students... this is you You have to spend your whole life to pay back what you owe to our He family."

Wen Yuean grabbed He Yulou's hand: "...He Yulou...you will never see me in this life?"

"Clap--"

There was a hammering sound outside the bedroom.

The old man shouted in a low voice outside the door: "Little brat, hurry up, they can't wait."

He Yulou turned over, pushed Wen Yuean under the bed, and immediately followed the old man out.

"You want him to stay alive and carry the qin, but what about you, just let it go and don't carry anything?" The old man pushed the tricycle and took two steps, and asked suddenly.

He Yulou looked down at the body wrapped in two sheets on the tricycle, and said, "In addition to Qin, the He family also has one word—straight."

The old man pushed the tricycle to the door, and everyone retreated three feet away. The old man chewed grass, got on the tricycle and left.

The leader's red armband walked around He Yulou twice: "So the person who did that dirty thing looks like this, he really can't be judged by his appearance. Is there another person?"

He Yulou said, "I don't know who you are talking about."

"I don't know? It's just doing dirty things with you, your brother."

He Yulou glanced at Chang Liangyan and said, "I'm the only one left in my family."

The lead questioned: "What about the other one?"

He Yulou still looked at Chang Liangyan: "You also saw that there were two people in the car just now, my mother and my brother, both died."

"I..." Chang Liangyan was enveloped by He Yulou's gaze, and suddenly changed his words, "Maybe it's me... Maybe it's because I remembered wrongly."

The leader with the red armband sternly shouted: "Misremember?! This kind of thing can also be misremembered?! I think you want to cover up counter-revolutionaries!" He was very dissatisfied with the fact that one of the brothers had died, and Chang Liangyan even He still dared to change his words, so he ordered, "Take these two counter-revolutionaries to the cowshed!"

……

Wen Yuean was still lying under the bed.

He finally knew what He Yulou felt like lying here.

He opened his eyes, looked at the bed above his head, and finally understood why He Yulou liked to lie under his bed.He moved his body with his arms, and looked at the large and dense ink stains on the bed very carefully.He didn't know before that the He family had such a piece of heaven and earth, and it was actually where he slept every day.Without lying directly under the bed, you can't see these at all—

Music scores, chess scores, poems, and inscriptions copied by He Yulou himself.

He Yulou composed music, painted pictures, and wrote articles by himself.

Wen Yuean looked down line by line, and was stunned when he saw an area.

That small piece of space is written: the number of times Yuean was made to cry.

There are several orthographic characters below.

And there seemed to be a large space behind the last orthographic character. He Yulou probably had bad intentions in leaving this blank space. If he could be with him until he grows old, he planned to make Wen Yuean cry many times.

But at this time, there were two large red-brown characters on the blank space:

月安

It was written in blood, very fresh, from the night before or so.

Wen Yue'an thought, he must have done something wrong, and said such cruel words to He Yulou who was lying under the bed the night before, that's why he had these two blood-red words.He Jia's ink was also spilled, and the pen was broken. If he didn't hate him so much, how could He Yulou want to write the word "Yue'an" like this?

Staring at the two blood characters for a long time, Wen Yue'an dipped the tears on her face with her fingertips, and added a horizontal line to the last unfinished orthographic character.

He continued to look down with tears in his eyes, and saw the music score of "Ode to the Autumn Wind".The score is still for two pianos, which is no different from the one He Yulou gave him during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, except that there are two more lines under the title "Ode to the Autumn Wind":

Dedicated to Yue An

May my moon and years be safe

With trembling hands, Wen Yuean kept touching those two lines of words.

Everyone had left, there was no one in the area for several miles, and no one heard it. In this dilapidated small building, under an old bed board, there was the sound of weeping, accompanied by intermittent soft humming.

It is "Ode to the Autumn Wind".
