    Anyone who has been to our northern city or seen a map of its urban area knows that our urban area is rectangular, with the Yellow River flowing through it and the railway running through it, just like a big wax gourd that has been split into two by someone.  .

    On both sides of the railway are large shantytowns, which are naturally rectangular. As long as the railway passes through the city, the shantytowns will be as long as possible.  This narrow strip is full of bungalows, low and dilapidated.  The colors of the walls and roof tiles are also chaotic, with red bricks and red tiles and blue bricks and blue tiles. More than 60 years ago, or a little longer, when the owners of the houses were building them, they appeared pushing carts or carrying baskets  Every street and alley where bricks and tiles can be picked up in this city is like a group of magpies looking for branches to build nests.

    There is also a small courtyard near the West Railway Station, but comparing it with the palace garden in terms of building materials and style is like comparing a pig's nest with a palace.  One winter day many years ago, Gong Xiaojun, led by Liu Yang, visited this place once, and gave it the name ©¤©¤ Ape Man Villa, which would become a tourist attraction if discovered by archaeologists.

    Liu Yang was born, grew up, worked and even got married in this courtyard. Since Gong Xiaojun and Liu Yang had another quarrel more than half a month ago, Liu Yang took his son Xiao Gongliang back to her natal home in a fit of anger.

    Liu Yang's father was named Liu Biao. He was over seventy years old at that time, and his arms and legs were quite strong, standing there like an ancient pine tree.

    Liu Biao's hometown is not far from the city, and it seems to be less than a hundred kilometers to the north.  It was a mountainous area, remote and poor.  But it is a well-known old revolutionary base area, where the underground municipal party committee of the Communist Party was set up in a cave here.  There is a big difference between the mountains in the north and the mountains in the south. For example, Liu Biao¡¯s hometown is called Emerald Ridge. Not only is there no emerald, there are almost no trees and weeds. The continuous mountains are bare, like scabies.  same head.  The stone is also ordinary bluestone, which can only be used to burn lime except for laying the foundation when building a house.  After the reform and opening up, urban residents finally remembered this poor old revolutionary base area and began to take measures to alleviate the poor.  That year, entrusted by the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, a poverty alleviation work team from the Municipal Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources went around the mountain for several days but failed to find a mine that could be developed, not even the lowest grade of marble.  They were all kind-hearted people. When they left, many of them shed tears when they saw the rags and rags who sent them outside the village. That's how they sent the municipal party committee out of the mountain back then!  Some members of the work team took off their coats and put them on the old people shivering in the cold wind, and some donated money.  Back in the provincial capital, they jointly signed an investigation report to the relevant departments of the municipal government, suggesting that these mountain people move out of the mountainous area, saying that this is the only way to solve the problem of food and clothing for the mountain people.  In fact, before this, many smart mountain people have already walked out of the mountains, such as Liu Yang's father Liu Biao.

    Liu Biao ran away from home in the autumn of 1948. At that time, the Anti-Japanese War had been won for three years and the People¡¯s Liberation War was in progress.  Struggle to welcome the People's Liberation Army to launch a siege campaign.  When they evacuated, the villagers reluctantly sent them far away. Several young peasants surrounded them and asked to go to the city, including Liu Biao.

    "What are you doing in the city?" At that time, Secretary Zhao of the Municipal Party Committee looked at these sturdy rural youths and asked.

    These rural youths really didn't know what they were going to do in the city, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

    "Revolution." Liu Biao, who was crowded in the front, said.

    Liu Biao was about 20 years old at the time. He didn't know a single word in Dou Da, and he didn't know what "revolution" was at all. He just often heard Secretary Zhao and the others say "revolutionary revolution" and thought it was quite amusing.  Just a word like this.

    Secretary Zhao was happy now that the revolution had successors. He patted Liu Biao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, young man, come with us."

    Just like that, Liu Biao walked out of Jade Ridge, a poor mountainous area.  He was very majestic, and it was not easy for a rural youth to attract the attention of the enemy, so the party organization arranged for him to take on the job of security, that is, to stand guard behind Secretary Zhao of the Municipal Party Committee.

    This is a hard job, often Secretary Zhao walks in front, he follows behind, and looks around from time to time, as if he is a thief.  This is also tolerable. What he can't bear is that Secretary Zhao goes to a certain restaurant or teahouse to sit down and eat and drink, but he has to stand at the door and starve, and he is not even allowed to saliva.  The reason why Liu Biao came to the provincial capital with the underground municipal party committee was to have a full meal, but he found that he was full, but he couldn¡¯t eat when he wanted to be full, and he had to watch others eat.  torture.  He wanted to take a short errand, but when he thought about being alone in the city, he could do nothing but beg for food.?When I was sure that I would be hungry if I could do it, I decided to wait until then.

    The turning point came half a year later, when Liu Biao followed Secretary Zhao to a ballroom for a meeting, and met a pretty girl.

    It was a Mid-Autumn Festival night, and Liu Biao had only been in town for a month.  At that time, the girl was running down the stairs as if she was flying, looking terrified. Behind her were two burly men with a distance of two or three steps, just like Liu Biao following Secretary Zhao.  Same.  At that time, the stairs were not made of reinforced concrete as they are now, but mostly made of wood. When the girl and the group ran down, they made a loud noise.  At this time, Secretary Zhao and Liu Biao were walking to the corner of the stairs. As soon as they heard the sound, they knew that someone was running downstairs, so they quickly stood against the wall.

    If this girl hadn't stepped on the air and fell down when she was about to turn the stairs, Liu Biao might not have changed her life because of this, and the revolution would have ended, and she might have become a senior cadre and enjoyed some special treatment, such as  Sitting in a car, living in a dormitory or something, at least they will never live at the lowest level of society like they did later.  However, the girl fell down, stumbled two steps and threw herself into Liu Biao's arms.  Liu Biao wanted to dodge at that time, but he was standing at the corner, with a wall behind him, a wall on his right, and Secretary Zhao on his left.

    "Brother, help me." The girl fell into Liu Biao's arms and stopped getting up. Instead, she hugged Liu Biao tightly and begged.

    This girl is called Zhang Yihong. She looks less than twenty years old. She is the waitress of this dance hall. The two men behind her are well-known local hooligans. They have been coveting her for several days.  After you are full, you are ready to rob it and have fun.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
