Lin Yanqiu
Losing the Specter Crystal made me depressed. But after a long time, it faded. Fortunately, the vein in Pit No. 2 had not been cut off, and ore was being produced every day. The workers were divided into three shifts and dug day and night. They could produce about 15 tons a day. Even if the lowest delivery price was 1500 yuan per ton, he would still have a gross income of 22500 yuan per day. If this goes on, we'll be able to recoup our costs in three to four months.
This afternoon, I was at the entrance of Pit No. 2, looking up at the wind pressure machine of the same high-level repair. "Da Bao, hurry back to the company's bamboo shed and take a look. Your cousin has been arrested…" Luo Ruhui came and said.
I asked who caught him and what happened. He couldn't explain it clearly.
I hurried back to the bamboo shed and saw a young woman in her twenties and two Wa soldiers holding rifles standing in the open space behind the shed. There were also a few people from the company. Cousin's hands were tied up by a rope.
"Take him back to the mines. When you give me the money, you can release her!”the woman said.
The two Wa soldiers pushed Cousin away. "Who are you? Why are you arresting people?"”
The young woman looked at me and said,"You must be Shi Tianlin's cousin?"”
"Yes, how do you want to catch him?"
"Humph! Ask him yourself!" The young woman raised her eyebrows and said.
"Tian Lin, what's going on?"
Cousin looked at the woman and then at the Wa soldiers, not daring to say anything.
"Hmph, he came to my casino to play roulette and owed the casino more than twenty thousand dollars. He never paid up, so I had to bring him to the mining department. I'll let him go when you give me the money!”The woman had a pretty face, but her words were domineering and fearless.
I was shocked and asked my cousin,"Is this true?"”
Cousin mumbled, unable to hear what he was saying. "Is it true?" I shouted.
"Yes." he whispered.
I was angry and hateful. I didn't expect him to do such a thing behind my back. What should he do now?
I didn't know the identity of this woman, but it seemed like she had a powerful background and was someone I couldn't afford to offend. I could only smile and say,"This is the first time I've seen this lady. She's a real beauty. He's not a local, right? "May I ask your name…" Other than Bi Min, I'm actually quite good at talking to other women. He didn't mind giving her a high hat. He wondered if she would fall for it.
The woman laughed." You speak like a gentleman. You're not as vulgar as your cousin. You're also much better looking than him." My surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Yanqiu."
"Yanqiu, what a good name. However, he did not know if it was a wild goose or a swallow.”
"Then what do you think is good?" The woman smiled.”
"Good is good, but it seems that the wild geese are more elegant.”
"Is that so?" Beauty Lin pondered for a moment before saying," Then I'll be Autumn Goose!”
I saw that there was room for discussion."Miss Autumn Goose, this is your first time here. Please come into the house and take a rest. We'll see how this matter is settled.”
Before Lin Yanqiu could reply, Wang Gangjun said,""What's so good about it? Do you have money to pay them back?”
"What does this have to do with you?" Lin Yanqiu raised her eyebrows and reprimanded. You want to talk too much? You can't wait for him to be unlucky, right? They're even in cahoots, hmph!"
" You, you, you…" Xu Gang said angrily.
"What did I do? Speak!" Lin Yanqiu pointed at his nose and asked.
Xu Gang looked at the spear in the Wa soldier's hand. His mouth opened and closed, but he didn't say anything. Xiao You smiled and quickly lowered her head.
"Alright, let's go to your place.”She smiled at me. Then he said to the Wa soldiers,"Let him go."”
The Wa soldier was stunned for a moment before untying his cousin's rope.
"Yes, yes, yes. If you have something to say, say it properly.”Shen Qiyou and Accountant Liu said.
The crowd escorted Lin Yanqiu to the bamboo shed. A Wa soldier followed him in while another stood at the door, holding the door with his spear. Lin Yanqiu turned around and said to Shen Qiyou,""I'm just sitting casually. You don't have to follow me.”
Shen Qi was stunned. The Wa soldiers pushed them out of the door with their guns. What are you looking at!"
I moved the best wooden stake for Lin Yanqiu to sit on. "Oh, I don't even know your name," she said.”
"My surname is Li and my name is Wang Bao.”
"Li Wangbao," she giggled. Your name is not very elegant!"
"Yes, yes. This was given to me by my parents. Don't blame me! They didn't go to school and couldn't read, so they couldn't blame their parents.”
"Then you're in middle school, right?"
"I'm in university." I laughed.
"Really? You went to university?" She looked at me in surprise.
"Why would I lie to you? It's not a big deal to go to university.”For some reason, I no longer regarded her as a powerful character. I felt that she was just a temperamental and bad-tempered beautiful girl. He also spoke casually.
"Aiyo, it's a rare thing here. There wasn't even a middle school here. I only went to primary school. Can I take you as my teacher? I love reading."
"Are you kidding me? How can I be your teacher?”I laughed.
"Who am I? Why don't you dare to admit it?”she asked unhappily.
"You're the boss of the casino. There were also Wa guards. I'm just an ordinary person who came to mine.”
"That casino was actually opened by my father. He and Commander Wang were old friends. Don't think that it's a big deal.”She smiled." If you're willing, you can be my teacher. I will repay you."
"How do I repay you?" I laughed. "What do you want me to teach you?"
She thought for a moment and said," I want you to teach me how to read Tang and Song poems. As for repayment, I don't want the money your cousin owes me." 20,000 yuan is a lot of money. It can be used as tuition for a while, right? I'll give you money in the future. How about that?"
"Really?" I asked in surprise and disbelief.
"Of course it's true. However, do you know Tang poetry and Song poetry? I have a book titled "Ancient Chinese Poetry". There are many words in it that I can't recognize. You should recognize it, right?"
"This, of course. You copy the words that you can't recognize and give them to me, I'll help you with the pronunciation.”I braced myself. Actually, although I love literature, I studied architecture. I don't know the words of Tang, Tang, and Song. But I can look it up in the dictionary. But, wait a minute. You can investigate, but can't she?
"You, you don't know how to look it up in the dictionary, right?”I asked carefully.
"Yes, but it will take a lot of effort, and I'm impatient. Having a teacher to teach him would save him a lot of trouble. And I can listen to you talk about some cultural knowledge, right?”
"Yes, yes, yes, you're absolutely right!" I was overjoyed." It's settled then. Ten thousand years, don't change!”I treated her as an innocent little schoolgirl.
"I think a hundred years is enough. Do you want to be my teacher for ten thousand years?”she said with a smile.
He didn't expect things to end up like this. We were all very excited and talked about other things. It turned out that her father was from China and had joined the Burmese People's Liberation Army. His mother had also passed away, and the father and daughter depended on each other to make a living here. The Wa State army had broken away from the Burmese government, and some of his father's friends were in the army. The father and daughter were living comfortably.
After that, Lin Yanqiu would come to visit me from time to time and ask me to read words she didn't know. And then he took a book out of my wooden box. I brought more than 20 books to Myanmar. Most of them are novels, which are to her liking.
Whenever she came, she would always bring me a salted pheasant or a salted rabbit or something. He said it was to show respect to his teacher.
I love to eat wild animals. Xiao You will cut the marinated game into pieces and steam it in a big bowl for me. From time to time, I would call my cousin, Shen Qiyou, and Duan Ming over for a drink or two. Guan Yiwu didn't drink, and Little You rarely came.
On this day, Lin Yanqiu arrived on her motorcycle and brought me to her house. Her house was not far from the mining department. It was a wooden building built on a flat land in a valley. There was a plot of land in front of the building where vegetables and potatoes were planted. Bamboo forests and banana trees surrounded the wooden building. The wooden building was surrounded by green mountains. It was really a paradise.
An old man in his fifties was smoking on his palm in front of the building. Lin Yanqiu said that it was her father.
"Hello, old man." I said.
"Oh, hello. I heard Autumn Goose say that your name is Li Wangbao, right? Your father's surname is Li, and your mother's surname is Wang, right? My name is Yida, Lin Yida."
Lin Yida was forthright and talkative. After talking to him for a while, Lin Yanqiu said that she wanted to dig bamboo shoots and asked if he wanted to go. The two of them arrived at the bamboo forest behind the building.
This was a bamboo forest. The strange thing was that there was a tomb in the forest. The tombstone was engraved with the words: Tomb of the loving mother, Wu Ying. Born in Yunnan, China. Born in 1950. Died in 1988. Female, Lin Yanqiu. So this is the tomb of Yanqiu's mother. What kind of person was she? How did he die? I was curious, but I didn't dare to ask her.
Autumn Goose stewed the rabbit, roasted the dried rice, boiled the radish, picked the bamboo shoots, fried the peanuts, and placed them on a square table in the wooden house. She went to a tree by the building and plucked a few leaves. She mashed them and added some chili to make a bowl of dipping water. Lin Yida took out a big earthen jar and filled three small bowls with wine.
"It's fate that we met. Come, let's have a toast!”Papa Lin said, and the three of them drank it all in one gulp. I was amazed at Lin Yanqiu, who drank more than me.
The wine was sweet and mellow, and the dishes were especially refreshing. The rabbit was spicy and fragrant. The freshly dug bamboo shoots were cut into strips and placed on a plate. After dipping them in water, they tasted fresh, crispy, and spicy.
The three of them chatted and drank. It turned out that Father Lin was an intellectual youth who came to Yunnan in the early 1970s. Later, he went to Myanmar with a few classmates to join the Burmese Party Army and was once a company commander. Later on, a few of his classmates died in battle, and some died unjustly. He was disheartened and left the army. A few years ago, his wife passed away, and he and his daughter settled down here.
"Uncle Lin, I didn't know you had such an extraordinary experience. He dared to take such a path." I was curious about their generation." What did they think?”
"You might not believe me even if I tell you. At that time, we joined the Burmese army with the ideals of participating in the world revolution and liberating all mankind, not for promotion and wealth. She was very pure and noble. Now that I think about it, it's incredible."
"Ah, your generation is really admirable. They have lofty ideals and aspirations, unlike us who came here just to make a living and make a fortune.”
"What do you admire?" Uncle Lin smiled." I'm not like some people who talk about how noble and great I was in the past, how passionate I was. After a lifetime of ups and downs, right and wrong, ups and downs, I finally saw the truth of this world. Young people, many shameless and cruel deeds were done in the name of glory. In fact, regardless of whether it was a country, a social class, an organization, or an individual, there was only one fundamental goal-profit.‘The world's hustle and bustle come for profit, and the world's chaos goes for profit.'Those who advocate ideals and morality may have ulterior motives and use them to drive others to be cannon fodder for them! It's worth it to fight for your own interests like you. This is the most legitimate thing. If you don't survive and develop for yourself, why?”
I thought about it and felt that it made sense. "No matter what, your rich experience is admirable." Come, let me toast you!"
The two of them drank.
The moon climbed up from the east mountain. The wooden building, banana trees, bamboo forest, and vegetable garden were all bathed in the moonlight. As the wind blew, the banana leaves in the bamboo forest made waves. Admiring the moon and drinking in this valley in a foreign country, it was unknown whether it was the effect of the alcohol or the blurry moonlight, but it felt like a dream.
"Uncle Lin," I asked. Aunt Lin passed away early. Otherwise, your family would have been able to live freely here. How did she die?"
Both father and daughter fell silent. After a while, Uncle Lin sighed.""You don't know. Wu Ying committed suicide.”
"What is it? How could that be?"
"They said she was a spy. She wrote me a suicide note asking me to leave this place and return to the country. But she doesn't know that I…can't go back!”
The three of them were very sad for a moment. They drank silently, and only the bamboo leaves and banana leaves rustled in the moonlight...
