Bloody Journey: Those Years in Northeast China

Chapter 10 Pushkin and Yang Erlang

The final result was that one of the returning brothers was imprisoned and one was seriously injured; the four pillars of gold, silver, copper and iron of the Chen family ran away and one was seriously injured.

Both sides knew that this fight could not be fought any more, and if the fight continued, people would definitely die.

The vicious battles between the Huijia brothers and the Chen family brothers have greatly enriched the spare time life of the people in Hongqi City.

In that era when listening to the radio was the main form of entertainment, the fierce battle between these two gangs became a must-have topic for people to talk about after dinner.All of them were beaming with joy and dancing.

"Chen Tiezhu is so awesome, he killed the second and third rounds by himself!"

"It's still awesome to throw Chen Jinzhu down from the second floor of the hospital. That is to say, the hospital has only two floors. I guess it doesn't matter which floor it was on at the time. I dare to throw people down."

"Don't underestimate the five-time son. When he grows up, he is guaranteed to be more ruthless than the third-time son. You see, he stabbed Chen Tongzhu seven or eight times without blinking. I heard that Chen Tongzhu was only bleeding. , he almost bleed to death, and during the last blood transfusion, the doctor said that he almost replaced all the blood in his body."

The stories of these two gangs were passed on by word of mouth, which also made the reputation of these two gangs bigger and bigger, and suddenly it was in full swing.

The reason why the two gangs fought fiercely was because of Shen Tianfeng.But in the end, it became a contest of face between the two gangs.Whoever suffers, whoever is subdued, will lose face.

Because of one woman, one is blind and the other has a broken leg, is it worth it?Because of face, both gangs were scarred and imprisoned. Is this necessary?Is it only this kind of street hooligan who would do such a thing?

At this point in the story, some people may say, Lao Qi, why do you write so many bloody stories?Can't you talk about something high-end and upscale?Why do you always write about these bastards?

The fight between Shen Tianlong and the Railway Gang ended, anyway, it was for justice.But is it possible for the brothers and four pillars of the Chen family to fight like that because of a woman?Such a person who lost his life for a woman is a fool and a reckless man. You should let them negotiate in a civilized manner.

If this is the case, Lao Qi can tell you another story, which may change your views.

In this world, there is a person who did the same thing in another time and space and another place.

Because of a woman, he duels his love rival with a pistol.The two sides agreed to take a pistol and walk a few steps in opposite directions back to back.Then turn around at the same time and shoot at the same time.In the end, this person fell under the opponent's gun.

This man wrote many, many poems, one of which reads:

if life has cheated you

Don't be sad, don't be impatient!

Calm is needed in gloomy days;

Believe it, happy days will come.

My heart is always yearning for the future,

But now it is often melancholy;

everything is fleeting,

everything will pass,

And that is past,

will become affectionate nostalgia.

This person is the great poet known as the father of Russian literature - Pushkin.Someone once commented that Pushkin had a great influence on Russian writers, and no poets from other countries could compare with him in this regard.

We will not discuss whether Pushkin is great or not.

However, Pushkin's duel is definitely more serious, tragic, and bloody than the duel between the brothers who came home and Chen Tiezhu.

Because he used a gun; and because it was a duel where he knew that someone must die.As for the returning home brothers and Chen Tiezhu, they just wanted to fight fiercely and conquer each other.They haven't wanted each other's lives yet.

It seems that no matter whether it is a hooligan in the city or a great poet, when facing the woman he loves the most, when facing the challenge of dignity, there will always be people who choose to fight hard regardless of life and death.

When Shen Tianfang was in elementary school, she once read another fairy tale poem written by the poet who died for love in his elementary school textbook. That poem was very long, and its name was "The Story of the Fisherman and the Goldfish".

Shen Tianfang is Shen Tianfeng's younger sister.

Perhaps Er Huizi had never heard of the name Pushkin at all, nor did he know that Pushkin ended his life in such a heroic and embarrassing way.

But the romantic Erhuizi, one day while digging coal in the mine, felt his life in the rivers and lakes with swords and swords, and also wrote a poem to commemorate the brothers and brothers who came back home, and the four pillars of gold, silver, copper and iron of the Chen family. stories between.

This poem is still engraved on the wall of an abandoned roadway under the No. 200 well of the Red Square Mining Bureau, [-] meters below the ground level. In terms of burial depth, it is definitely a real underground literature.The poem is very simple, it goes like this:

In ancient times, there were three heroes who fought against Lu Bu,

Just like the current Yang brothers and Chen Tiezhu,

Why are there so many fierce battles?

The big stick grows into a towering tree.

Although he is not very good at fighting and has a bad habit of taking public property, this poem alone can definitely establish Er Huizi's status as the number one poet of the underworld in Hongqi City.

This poem adopts the creative writing method of combining the seven rhythms of ancient China with modern poetry, and uses the method of "rising". "Words chanted" - a big stick grows into a towering tree.

Yes, whether it is the Qilang and Eight Tigers of the Yang family, or the four pillars of gold, silver, copper and iron of the Chen family, they are still just big sticks, that is, the more famous bastards and ruffians, and they are far from the towering trees. scale.What if Hunzi becomes a towering tree in the end?

A poem by Erhuizi profoundly reveals the deep-seated reasons why in the early 80s, when there was disagreement between hunzi, they often drew their swords to each other.At the same time, it also clarifies the ultimate direction of struggle for the gangsters in Hongqi City - "The big stick grows into a towering tree."

Its important guiding value is similar to the importance of "a single spark can start a prairie fire" to the Chinese revolution for the gangsters in Hongqi City.

Although Erhuizi's poems can be regarded as epoch-making lighthouse works, but because he carved them with nails in the tunnels underground, not many people are lucky enough to read them.

This has to be said to be a pity for the gangsters in Hongqi City. In the days to come, gangsters in Hongqi City appeared one after another, but most of them either died, were disabled, or were imprisoned.

Lao Qi believes that this is entirely because they crossed the river by feeling the stones and relying on instinct to blend in the society, and they ended up like this.If they were able to clarify their ultimate goal of "growing a big stick into a towering tree", then their life trajectory would definitely change.

Not long after the fierce battle between the two sides, Chen Tiezhu and Shen Tianfeng got married.

What needs to be explained is that it is said that Shen Tianfeng took the initiative to pursue Chen Tiezhu and also wrote a love poem to Chen Tiezhu.But other than Shen Tianfeng and Chen Tiezhu, no one else knew the content of the love letter.

Because it is said that Chen Tiezhu covered the poem with a piece of floral cloth and locked it in a small box.Outside the small box was a medicine box commonly used by traveling doctors.But the medicine box was locked in a large red lacquered cabinet.

There are three boxes and three locks in the front and back, which shows how much Chen Tiezhu attaches importance to that love letter.

In the Qing Dynasty, a great talent named Yuan Mei also wrote a special poem, expressing his deep blessings for the great and ordinary marriage of Chen Tiezhu and Shen Tianfeng.

This poem is like this, "Calligraphy, painting, piano, chess, poetry, and hops, everything was inseparable from it back then; now seven things have changed, firewood, rice, oil, smoke, sauce, vinegar, tea."

After getting married, Chen Tiezhu and Shen Tianfeng had to run around for their lives.
