Crimson Dawn

Several old men finally took out their identities as "elders" and "clan elders" to deal with Xie Mingxian. Xie Mingxian had thought about such a possibility long ago.In fact, when Xie Mingxian realized what his personal problem was, not only did he not think it was absurd for the old gentlemen to do so, but he believed that these old gentlemen must make such a choice.At any rate, they are also respectable figures in the village, and they regard their face higher than the sky. If they really let these people roll around on the ground, the old men may not be able to do it.

Seeing the secretary of the provincial party committee being so difficult, the secretary couldn't bear it anymore, he approached Lu Xie Mingxian and whispered: "Secretary Xie, how about I invite the comrades from the army."

Lu Huitian shook his head slightly, "No need. I'm here for the funeral, not to sweep up."

"But these people are too much." The secretary still couldn't help being angry.

Xie Mingxian shook his head slightly. From the secretary's point of view, the "enemy" was already advancing every step of the way, almost to the point where he couldn't see it.But from Xie Mingxian's point of view, these people in front of them are basically at their wit's end.Although I don't know what specific steps they will take, Xie Mingxian knows very well from the long-term struggle that these people will collapse if they only need one small step in the next situation, and the last small step. [

Without making Xie Mingxian wait too long, his "classmate" had already run up to Xie Mingxian and said, "Brother Mingxian, everyone is from the same village, why do you do this?"

Xie Mingxian remained silent, waiting for his "classmate" to draw the road.Xie Mingxian's "classmate" did not disappoint Xie Mingxian, he continued: "How about this, brother Mingxian, let's go to the ancestral hall, the elders are not people who cannot talk, as long as they speak well, it will definitely make sense .”

"I won't go to the ancestral hall, and I'm here today for a funeral, so I want to bury my mother. Or do you think I can't bury my mother?" Xie Mingxian said loudly, his sharp eyes almost made the classmate in front of him slap shiver.

"Absolutely not, absolutely not!" Xie Mingxian's classmate said hastily.At this time, he suddenly hated himself for being too impatient, and accidentally revealed his hole card, which made Xie Mingxian catch the truth.But what this classmate said just now is what Xie's parents care about most. Xie Mingxian's father has always been too capable as a side branch, and has always been overpowering the elders.After Xie Mingxian became a high-ranking official, Xie Mingxian's father had a lot of ties with Xie Mingxian's parents.Not only did Xie's parent's house not get the slightest benefit from Xie Mingxian, but he was also hit by the government because of the fight over water.If you can't take this opportunity to hold Xie Mingxian, if Xie Mingxian leaves, if you want to find Xie Mingxian in the future, you can only go to Xie Mingxian's land.

But what could have been planned calmly was completely destroyed by Xie Mingxian's father, Xie Fuzheng's burial plan.The long room originally thought that Xie Mingxian would quarrel with Xie Fuzheng because of such a simple funeral when he came back, but he didn't expect Xie Mingxian to make the same choice as his father Xie Fuzheng.If the No. [-] soldiers forcibly carried someone to the funeral, they wouldn't dare to stop Xie's family if they had ten guts.

However, caring is "chaotic", Xie Mingxian's classmate accidentally said something that Xie Mingxian caught in the braid, and Xie Mingxian made it clear that he would not let this opportunity pass.No matter how Xie Mingxian's classmates tried to defend themselves.Xie Mingxian continued to speak loudly as if he hadn't heard it: "My mother is parked inside the house now, don't you just don't want my mother to be buried now? If you think so, why don't you just say so."

Once the momentum overwhelms the opponent, Xie Mingxian is not a weak character. A weak guy cannot be the secretary of the provincial party committee no matter what.More importantly, Xie Mingxian has fully understood that this is nothing more than a conflict of interests among the masses. No matter what ideas are behind it, the problem must be limited to the matter itself.Obviously, the opposite of Xie Mingxian is full of desire to muddy the water, and what Xie Mingxian has to do is to lead the problem to specific issues.In the process of killing Cai Yuanpei, Xie Mingxian couldn't understand this very well.

Being interrogated by Xie Mingxian, the people outside the door lost a lot of their arrogance.No matter how you say it, it is not a moment of life and death, no one will be violent regardless of everything.In Hubei under the People's Party, even if Xie's family didn't get any extra benefits, life is getting better day by day.Let them kill officials and rebel, they have neither the courage nor the intention.Seeing that all the plans are about to fail, the elders can only strictly stick to the bottom line.

"Mingxian, if you want to bury your mother, we won't say anything, let alone stop you." The grandfather said in a retort, "But there has been no rule for thousands of years to bury a concubine and walk through the front door. This can only open the wall." Go. If you want to break this rule now, our old man will never agree. You can’t say anything now! If you don’t want people from the army to come, we will help you open the wall. In short, this rule cannot be broken. You must If you want to go through the main entrance, then everything I say will be blocked."

The somewhat tense situation just now turned into something similar to relying on the old and selling the old in a few words. Xie Mingxian's secretary felt that this change of face was too fast.But now Xie Mingxian is in an even more embarrassing situation. If he sent troops to deter him from the beginning, even if the reason is far-fetched, there is still some reason.There is no chance to use strength now.While thinking of a solution quickly in his mind, the secretary looked at Xie Mingxian.

After Xie Mingxian heard this, he said loudly: "Grandpa, you said my mother can't go out through this door, so let me ask you, can I go out through this door? Do you want to stop me when I go out through this door?"

These words were a bit inexplicable, the group of Xie's parents at the door looked at each other, and really couldn't figure out what Xie Mingxian meant.Xie Mingxian didn't give these people too much time, he took a step forward and continued to ask loudly: "I, Xie Mingxian, go out through this door, do you want to stop me?"

The person blocking the door saw Xie Mingxian's condescending and aggressive appearance, and couldn't help taking a step back.The grandpa collected himself and looked at Xie Mingxian suspiciously, "You can go out through this door, but you can't carry your mother with someone else."

"Okay, that's it." Xie Mingxian replied loudly.After speaking, he strode towards the back room amidst everyone's surprised eyes.

But I heard the grandpa behind him say: "Ming Xian, I advise you to open a hole in the wall and go out. Our own family, after opening the hole, will carry the coffin for the funeral. We will definitely not let you do it."

Xie Mingxian didn't look back, and walked straight to the back room of his house.Such a dispute had already alarmed the people in the back room. Xie Mingxian's cousin hid at the door and listened for a long time.Seeing Xie Mingxian coming in, they all looked at Xie Mingxian with complicated eyes.

"Everyone is preparing for the funeral, it will be hard for you all." Xie Mingxian said to the people in the room.

Xie Mingxian's eldest cousin looked out from the door of the house, and saw the dark crowd blocking the door, he took a deep breath and dared not move.After a while, he said: "My legs are weak, I'm afraid I can't lift them."

Hearing this, Xie Mingxian was a little stunned.But he didn't want to make any more troubles, regardless of the cowardly big cousin, Xie Mingxian asked the other cousins: "Who can't lift it anymore, let's talk now."

Immediately, three more cousins ​​expressed that they were afraid that they couldn't do it.Only the three youngest cousins ​​looked eager to try, "Brother Mingxian, we are willing to carry it."

Xie Mingxian was a little bit embarrassed, six people were needed to carry the coffin, and according to his plan, it had to be done by six people.Even with three cousins ​​and Xie Mingxian's secretary, four people might not be enough.

Seeing Xie Mingxian's expression, his father Xie Fuzheng said slowly: "There are not enough people for your brother and brother to help you."

Xie Mingxian was quite surprised by this statement, his younger brother Xie Minggu was okay to say, his brothers had been Xie Mingxian's enemies since childhood, and they didn't even speak on weekdays.Seeing Xie Mingxian's hesitant expression, Xie Fuzheng didn't say anything, just went into the back room.Soon, he brought Xie Mingxian's younger brother Xie Minggu and Xie Mingxian's second brother Xie Mingwang out.After ten years of not seeing each other, Xie Mingwang also changed from a young man to a strong middle-aged man.

Continuing the antagonistic appearance since childhood, Xie Mingwang didn't greet Xie Mingxian at all, but just stood quietly beside his father.

"There are six people, carry." Xie Fuzheng said.Everyone agreed and walked to the front hall.Xie Mingxian's cousin ran to the front excitedly, and was about to grab the top of the pole, but heard Xie Mingxian's brother Xie Mingwang say: "Let our Xie family carry the front."

Xie Mingxian's cousin was taken aback for a moment, and a look of dissatisfaction immediately appeared on his face.Xie Mingxian hurried up to appease his cousin. In order to show respect, he asked his secretary to stand at the back.No matter how dissatisfied Xie Mingxian's cousin was, he dared not give Xie Mingxian face.With a slightly sullen expression, they gave way to the front row.

Although I have heard of the word "lifting the bar" and that those thorns are called "bar heads" in some places, Xie Mingxian can't guarantee whether his brother is considered a "bar head".Feeling a little uneasy in my heart, Xie Mingxian had no other choice.It was beyond Xie Mingxian's expectation that the elder brother who had never been close to him could stand up.

Xie Mingxian said hastily: "Thank you brother. It's just that I'm afraid it will make everyone suffer a little more."

Xie Mingwang just snorted softly, but didn't say anything more.Then, in the eyes of everyone, Xie Mingxian stepped on the stool next to the coffin and climbed up to the coffin. He firmly grasped the two front sides of the coffin with both hands, and then his shoulders were even with the front of the coffin, and his head poked out from the front of the coffin.Under the surprised eyes of the six people carrying the coffin, Xie Mingxian said, "Okay, let's go."

Just now everyone heard that Xie Mingxian and "Grandpa" had reached an agreement that no one could stop Xie Mingxian when he went out, but if Xie Mingxian carried his mother out, they must be stopped.Everyone never expected that Xie Mingxian would play such a trick.The faces of the six coffin bearers were either surprised, or simply showed smiles that were completely unsuitable for funerals.

Just when he was at a loss, he heard Xie Fuzheng say slowly: "Take it away."

After finishing speaking, Xie Fu was putting the bag containing the paper money on his shoulders, and walked out first.

People outside did not expect that Xie Mingxian, a dignified secretary of the provincial party committee, would act so recklessly.But seeing the coffin being lifted up, Xie Mingxian's head was stretched out in front of the coffin, and the coffin was approaching the courtyard door step by step with the efforts of the six people.

Now those people at the door were in a hurry, and just about to rush forward, Xie Mingxian's cousins ​​who were not very courageous showed enough cleverness at this time.They hurried forward to block the crowd, and at least they protected the gate.

When the coffin arrived at the door, Xie Mingxian said loudly, "Grandpa, are you blocking the door to prevent me from going out?"

"Ming Xian, what are you doing?" The grandfather's face turned pale with anger, and after being held back by Xie Mingxian's words just now, he really has no way to say anything now.

I saw Xie Mingxian lying on the coffin and shouting: "I'm going out now, don't any of you stop me."

At this time, whether it was those who tried to block the door or those who tried to rush out, many people had smiles that had nothing to do with the funeral.A funeral that was supposed to be serious almost turned into a farce.

Xie Mingxian didn't care so much, he just continued to shout: "I'm going out now, don't any of you stop me."

Several of Xie Mingxian's cousins ​​also tried their best to squeeze and resist. Those people outside had been standing for a long time, most of them were also tired, and these people ate and drank in the back room and rested for a long time.Physical strength is clearly at an advantage.What's more, at this time, no matter what kind of reasoning is dominant, it is even more scrupulous.After a lot of fighting and crowding, the coffin head finally came out of the gate.

The so-called defeat like a mountain is such a thing, you can't compete in reason, you can't compete in tricks, and you can't compete in strength.When part of the coffin was finally moved out of the gate, the people outside were also discouraged.Someone finally withdrew from the blocking ranks.Other blockers either gave up or were just slowing down.Soon, more and more coffins came out. Xie Mingxian swayed left and right like riding a bumpy horse. He used both hands and feet, trying to stabilize himself on the coffin without falling off.After a while of hard work, the coffin carried by the six people finally broke free from the crowd through the gate and onto the street. [

The six people who carried the coffin were all panting with exhaustion, and when they finally achieved their goal, they asked each other almost in unison: "Take a break."

Although Xie Mingxian did not join the "Battle Group", in order to stabilize himself on the coffin, he did his best.When the six people put down the coffin, they obviously also crawled down the coffin panting.Looking back at the gate of his own house, Xie Mingxian felt a burst of relief in his heart.No matter what, Xie Mingxian broke through the barrier and let his mother come out from the main entrance.

No one spoke, and everyone really didn't know what to say.After resting like this for a while, Xie Mingxian asked the cousin in the last row to give up the pole, and he said, "Let's go."

The six lifted the coffin and continued towards the cemetery.

Naturally, some people followed to watch the excitement, but when they saw the cemetery from a distance, sharp-eyed people saw that a group of soldiers had already taken the lead in waiting there.A few wooden bars were placed under the coffin, and the number of coffin bearers changed from six to ten. Such a number became a joke in Xie Mingxian's hometown in the future. There had never been such a number of coffin bearers.

But Xie Mingxian didn't care about this kind of thing at all, it was easier to work with more people, after the new addition of four people, everyone felt the pressure on their shoulders lightened, and their walking speed accelerated a lot.

The comrades in the army have already dug the grave, and the speed of burial is also very fast.Less than half an hour after Xie Mingxian cast the first shovel, a new tomb was erected.

Xie Mingxian knelt down in front of his mother's grave. This time he didn't cry anymore, and kowtowed respectfully three times. Xie Mingxian said with bright eyes: "Mother, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you when I have time. But I swear to you at your grave, I will fight these things to the end in my life. I will definitely eradicate these feudal things. I will never let such things happen in China again!"

After solemnly making a promise and kowtowing to his mother three more times, Xie Mingxian stood up and said to his comrades, "Get ready to go!"

After this incident, Xie Mingxian's cousins ​​showed a much closer attitude towards Xie Mingxian than earlier in the morning.Xie Mingxian's second brother still looked indifferent, as if he had never helped his younger brother at all just now.A group of people stopped at the place where the cavalry gathered. The troops had already packed up their equipment, everyone led the horses, and waited for Xie Mingxian to give the order to set off.

Xie Fuzheng still said calmly: "Ming Xian, you go now. I'll take care of the rest."

Xie Mingxian really didn't know what to say to his father, he hesitated for a while before saying: "Father, do you want to move to Changsha to settle down later? If you don't want to go to Changsha, you can go to Wuhan or Yueyang."

"Let your brother go with you now, he is young, let him go out for a walk." Xie Fuzheng replied flatly.

Xie Mingxian really didn't know what his father was thinking in his heart. Xie Fuzheng seemed to have no human feelings. Whether it was life or death, or his son leaving his hometown, Xie Fuzheng was as calm as drinking cold water.On the contrary, Xie Minggu had a joyful smile on his face, "Thank you dad."

"Follow your brother now, you don't need to go home." Xie Fuzheng said.

Xie Mingxian really didn't want to think about what his father thought, so he couldn't help asking the question that cared the most at this time, "Father, why did you marry my mother back then."

This question seems to have some effect, at least the expression on Xie Fuzheng's face changed slightly.However, this expression didn't make Xie Mingxian feel very happy, because that expression was more like a mockery of his unworthy son. After a pause, Xie Fuzheng said: "I marry your mother because I like your mother."

After finishing speaking, Xie Fuzheng walked slowly towards the village alone, regardless of his second son and the group of nephews.

After staring at his father's back for a long time, Xie Mingxian turned around and said to his excited younger brother, "Let's go."

The cavalry troops would bring some spare horses and arranged horses for Xie Minggu.All the people got on their horses, and in the opposite direction of Xie Mingxian's father, Xie Fuzheng, the large army rumbled towards the sunset.
