At that time, the trend of internal investigation and external transfer was in full swing. Ma Shuiqing and I both had experience in this field, and even had an interest in it.Take a letter of introduction, receive a hundred and ten yuan of public funds, travel hundreds of miles, and suddenly have a new breakthrough in a certain person or something, and even have a death or a death. The man who hit hell—the discovery of being brought back to life suddenly is very exciting.Lying in a dirty little hotel, sitting in a creaking broken car, I feel like I am a great detective and a great savior.At that time, many people across the country were on the way to transfer abroad day and night.

Our external transfer is of course private, but the scale of our external transfer is beyond the reach of the public.Ma Shuiqing and I were moving around below, and more than a dozen people were willing to pay for their own travel expenses. "We couldn't bear to hear the old principal's yelling!" A person in Yau Ma Tei Town provided a clue: the mother and daughter It's Dangli's accent.The so-called "dang" refers to the Ludang area about two hundred miles away from us. The Ludang area has a radius of one or two hundred li, so it is certainly not easy to find the mother and daughter.A dozen of us, avoiding Wang Qihan's attention, held several meetings quietly in the woods behind, and finally decided to divide the troops into five groups, and each took a few photos taken from the photo studio in the town. to investigate.

A dozen of us disappeared suddenly one morning. Naturally, I am clearing the road with Ma Shui.We go to the north of the Ludang area.We walked eighteen miles to a ship pier, and then took a seven or eight-hour ship to a place called Huangtugou.It is no longer the reed that we saw when hunting with Wu Dapeng, it is the real reed. It seems that the reed is the whole world, and the world is just a reed.When the ship continued to move forward and finally disappeared into the depths of the reeds, only a wisp of smoke from the top of the reeds was seen, we seemed to have a feeling of never returning.

Before long it was dark.We found a small hotel.In the evening, I only ate some dry food brought from home.The little hotel was dirty and damp.The quilt and pillow were sticky, and they smelled of countless human bodies mixed together, making it impossible to fall asleep at all.We just put on our clothes and sat under the covers.Ma Shuiqing talked about Tao Hui again, "You write her a letter, and I will give it to her." I said, "Fuck off!" He said, "After Tao Hui went to high school, her tits got bigger." I said, "You Shameless!" He said, "It's so big!" His eyes looked forward, as if Tao Hui was standing right in front of him.I "poof"

blew out the lamp.I couldn't sleep, I tossed and turned on the bed, Tao Hui was always in front of my eyes.Ma Shuiqing's bed also creaked.I asked him, "What are you thinking about?" He said, "I'm thinking about those two persimmon trees in my yard." The next day, we took that photo and asked all the way, asking everyone we met, but people shook their heads and said they didn't know the mother and daughter.At the end of the day, weary and disheartened. But after spending the night in a family and sleeping all night, he regained his energy and continued to ask questions like the day before.That Ludang is sparsely populated and scattered. We often have to walk more than ten miles to see a house.On this day, at night, we did not reach a village, so Ma Shuiqing and I had to bury ourselves with scorched reeds under a tall reed stack and spent the night in the wilderness.After dawn, we drove another seven or eight miles, only to see a small town appear among the reeds.We first found a small restaurant to have a full meal, and then went door to door asking questions.There was a man with a mole on his chin, grabbed our photo, stared straight at it, and said that the daughter is a nice little girl, I was really afraid that he would lick the photo with his tongue, so hurry up and grab it Come here, pull Ma Shuiqing and leave.When we got to a bridge, Ma Shuiqing and I also went to look at the photo carefully, and felt that the mother and daughter were really good looking, especially the daughter.When she was taking pictures, she probably felt shy, and turned her face away, like a girl who saw a stranger and was about to close the door of her house, but she couldn't help but want to take a look at the stranger, so she turned her face halfway and looked at it from the tip of her eyes. , that looks very charming.At this time, Ma Shuiqing and I understood why some people would gossip about her mother and daughter.

We searched for four days, and on the fifth day, while taking the ferry, we met a bandit (that Ludang used to be a place where bandits haunted).Like a strict father controlling a child who spends money recklessly, he said: "Leave all the money before leaving!" Ma Shuiqing and I looked at his half-lit eyes under the broken straw hat, and our bodies were shaking. trembling.We pulled out all our pockets.The pockets were hanging out of the clothes like hungry tongues. "What's that in your hand?" asked the robber. "Photographs," we replied.He held out a black hand.We quickly handed him two photos.He looked at it and said, "On this one, only the girl who turned away looks good." After speaking, he threw the photo into the water.There was a wind on the river, and the two photos flickered westward, disappearing after a while.The robber went ashore with us.He nodded politely at us and went on his way.Ma Shuiqing said, "The photos are gone, so I have to go back." I said, "How can I go back? I don't even have the travel expenses." Ma Shuiqing went to the water to wash his hands, and said, "I took advantage of his turning his face away, and put it in his shorts. Stuck in a few dollars."

Two days later, we returned to school empty-handed with a disappointment. The other four roads have also returned two roads empty-handed.The last two roads, probably can only come back empty-handed.Ma Shuiqing and I met Wang Ruan on the road.He grabbed a pair of scissors for pruning dead branches in his hand, and was leaning against a tree to rest.Under his feet was a dead branch and leaf.He wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand, and asked, "Lin Bing, where have you guys been these few days? Your dormitory has been dark for seven nights." Ma Shuiqing said: "They all went to our house to play."

"You can't play like this, you have to read some books. I don't believe that the school will go on like this forever." Wang Ru'an said. I said, "We're not playing anymore." "That's good." Ma Shuiqing and I walked more than ten steps, looked back at him, and felt desolate in our hearts: Old man Wang Ru'an, I'm afraid you will stay in hell forever. One day later, Ma Shuiqing and I were basking in the sun boredly on the porch of the black-tiled house, when we saw Xie Baisan and his classmate from Class Two walking back to the school gate.Behind them, there are two women!I yelled: "I found it!" I ran to meet Ma Shuiqing together.When I got closer, I found that they were indeed the mother and daughter, but compared to the photo, they looked a little older.

Xie Baisan was covered in dust.He kept wiping the dirty sweat off his face, "—everything is clear!—everything is clear!" Ma Shuiqing said, "Don't go back to school yet." We put the mother and daughter in a small hotel in town.The mother and daughter repeated what they had told Xie Baisan to us: "That night, Principal Wang came to us and said, 'You mother and daughter, pack up and leave quickly. If you don't leave, you will really give to Principal Wang. It caused trouble. Now the campus is full of gossip. 'How can we cause trouble for Principal Wang? It's too late to be grateful! That night, we packed our things, and the next day was still dark We left. We walked hundreds of miles and returned to our hometown, and we never dared to come to this place again, for fear of causing trouble to Principal Wang. Who would have thought that we-go, he would never be able to explain himself. We How can you be so stupid?"

Ma Shuiqing and I wrote the big-character poster that night. The title was chosen by me. It was very exaggerated and classical. It was called "The Strange Injustice Through the Ages".We posted it on the streets of Yau Ma Tei Town overnight.
