Crimson Dawn

Xie Mingxian's hometown is very close to Yueyang, but it is in Hubei.The time on the way is not too long.So Xie Mingxian never had time to figure out why his mother had to go back to her hometown on the road.Even if Xie Mingxian exhausted his rhetoric, talking about the miserable life in the past and talking about the bright future.But Xie Mingxian's mother remained unmoved. The old lady just said, "I followed your father, and I will follow him to the end. You can't let me lose my origin and result."

Finally, after Xie Mingxian tried hard to persuade his mother, his mother finally showed some signs of loosening up, but the old lady only made one request, asking Xie Mingxian to take his father's family to Wuhan for resettlement.

Xie Mingxian naturally would not agree, the only person he could accept in that family was his half-brother.The little guy is very smart and motivated, and he has made great progress in studying with Xie Mingxian.If it hadn't been for the imperial examinations in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Xie Mingxian believed that his younger brother would definitely be able to obtain meritorious service in the future.But apart from the Xie family, Xie Mingxian would rather never know them.

The old lady was not good at words, seeing that Xie Mingxian refused to reconcile with Xie's family, she just said "Your father is very good to you and me!" Then she packed her things and went back to her hometown with Xie Mingxian's uncle.

That was more than two years ago, and Xie Mingxian was being notified at that time that he might be promoted to the secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee.He is so busy with work that he can't take care of his family.With great doubts, Xie Mingxian could only send his mother on the passenger ship back to his hometown. [

After disembarking in Yueyang, Xie Mingxian brought the guards into the border of Hubei, when the team that came to greet him surprised Xie Mingxian, it was a whole company of cavalry.Xie Mingxian wondered what Lu Huitian, secretary of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee, wanted to do in such a period of time when he was mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people.Once a cadre from Fengtai County put on a show when he returned to his hometown.When Chen Ke learned about it, he slapped that person to the end without saying a word.Although it must be admitted that the man was too courageous to let a battalion accompany him.It was an infantry battalion of the [-]th system, and it was indeed death for thousands of people to swarm.

It's just that a cavalry company has one hundred people, plus tall horses, it is also a team that is absolutely impossible to ignore.Xie Mingxian couldn't but wonder if Lu Huitian had some bad intentions.However, the company commander of the cavalry company explained: "Secretary Xie, we can't be busy for a few days with 100 people, so it's just a training session. We don't find anyone to receive you in Hubei, and try not to bother the local "government". In case you are in Hubei If something happens, how do you ask our Hubei side to explain it? If there is any inconvenience, you have to bear it."

Xie Mingxian thought about it and accepted it. If Lu Huitian went to visit relatives in Hunan, Xie Mingxian would not dare to be careless about the safety of Hubei Provincial Party Secretary Lu Huitian.Moreover, Lu Huitian neither came to greet him in person, nor asked the local cadres to greet him, which was already very prudent.

Hubei is an old liberated area, and the roads are much better than Hunan.At this time, it was the time of spring plowing, and people were planting and sowing seeds everywhere in the fields, and tractors could be seen slowly passing by from time to time.Xie Mingxian also felt quite relieved to see that many changes unique to the Liberated Area had been added to the familiar scenery of his hometown.Thinking of his mother being seriously ill at home, he accelerated the speed of the horse.

When the team arrived at the entrance of the village, Xie Mingxian felt dizzy.This is his hometown after all, even if he doesn't like to wander around when he is at home, Xie Mingxian is very clear about whether there are weddings and funerals in the village.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw the gate of his house, Xie Mingxian's heart beat even harder.There is no need for signs anymore, there is a coffin shed at the door of his house, and even during the spring plowing time, there are still people coming in and out.When these people in the village saw the galloping horse team, they quickly moved out of the way.They stood by the side of the road in the village, carefully looking at these soldiers, as well as Xie Mingxian who was among the soldiers.Only one person is not wearing military uniform.

After getting off his horse, Xie Mingxian strode into his house.Counting from the last time he stepped out of this door, until now, Xie Mingxian has not entered his house for 13 years.

No one dared to stop Xie Mingxian, everyone watched in a daze as Xie Mingxian led a few soldiers to the gate of the mourning hall.There was a lot of movement in the cavalry team of more than a hundred people, and the people in the mourning hall naturally heard the noise outside.Xie Mingxian saw a few people standing at the gate of the mourning hall. They were none other than Xie Mingxian's father, Xie Fuzheng.Xie Mingxian was taken aback for a moment, he saw that his father was already old.The whole hair is almost white, and the wrinkles on the face are like deep scratches on wood.The only thing that can overlap with Xie Mingxian's memory may be Xie Fuzheng's straight waist.

Xie Fuzheng was wearing a hemp belt, and standing beside Xie Fuzheng was Xie Mingxian's younger brother Xie Minggu.The thin child in Xie Mingxian's memory has grown taller. When Xie Mingxian left home, Xie Minggu was a child of seven or eight years old, and now he is a young man of 20 years old.It's just that the eyebrows and eyes can still see the appearance of childhood.

But at this time, Xie Mingxian didn't want to say anything to his father and younger brother at all. He strode into the main room and saw a coffin in the room. Lying inside, his expression was serene.There was no need to say anything, a sour smell rushed from the nasal cavity to the forehead, Xie Mingxian lay on the coffin and began to cry loudly.

Only when he realized that he would never see his loved ones again did Xie Mingxian deeply understand what he had lost.Expectations, longings, and plans for future life.It has to be something that is really useful when everyone has not passed away.It's like Xie Mingxian still thinking about this summer, if he is not too busy, he will pick up his mother from his hometown.Take a boat ride and feel the lights of Changsha.Projects including street lights are all part of Xie Mingxian's planned urban construction this year.Seeing that her son can preside over such a huge project, Xie Mingxian's mother would also be happy, right?

But all these imaginations will always become imaginations. Seeing the calm expression of his mother lying there, Xie Mingxian finally knew that he had completely lost his mother.

There seemed to be some movement outside, but Xie Mingxian didn't want to pay attention to it at all.The sadness in his chest can only be through crying bitterly, but no matter how much tears flow from his eyes, he can't let the painful feeling in his heart relax in the slightest.

I don't know how long I cried, Xie Mingxian felt his legs go limp, his hands could barely hold the coffin, and he almost slipped and fell over the edge of the coffin.Fortunately, someone supported Xie Mingxian on both sides. "Brother, sit down for a while." A familiar and emphatic voice said.Turning his head slightly, Xie Minggu's figure was seen in his eyes blurred with tears.

"Secretary Xie, sit down first, sit down first." On the other side was Xie Mingxian's guard, who choked up and said.

Almost being supported by these two people to sit on a chair a few steps away from the coffin, Xie Mingxian suddenly wanted to pounce on his mother again.However, he was suddenly extremely afraid of seeing his mother's face again.Seeing his mother's face reminded Xie Mingxian again that he had truly lost his mother.

After crying for a while, Xie Mingxian managed to suppress his grief.He took the towel from his younger brother and wiped his face.The whole person was leaning against the chair and breathing weakly, unable to move.It was at this moment that Xie Mingxian noticed that people were already standing inside and outside the hall door, and the young man looked at Xie Mingxian curiously.The middle-aged people mostly showed a thoughtful expression, and when they saw Xie Mingxian looking over, their expressions became a little flattering.As for the elderly, it is with a look of appreciation.

His mind was muddled, and Xie Mingxian didn't even understand what these people were trying to do by gathering at the door.He himself just wanted to sit next to his mother and vent his grief to his heart's content. It was too much of an eyesore to have such a group of people around.

Seeing that Xie Mingxian noticed him, an old man with a white beard came forward with trembling steps. He opened his mouth with several missing teeth and said, "Mingxian, do you still remember me?"

Xie Mingxian shook his head slightly.

"I'm your great grandfather." Although the old man's words were a bit leaky, his voice was quite forceful, "You are really a noble person who forgets things too much. I am the great grandfather who lives in the village."

Xie Mingxian continued to shake his head. As the son of a concubine, his social status was not high at that time. Xie Mingxian still remembered that he went to the theater with his mother when he was a child, and the people around him looked strange and mocking.When going out, I often hear all kinds of sarcastic remarks.Xie Mingxian is not very talkative, but it doesn't mean he can't tell the mood of others. In Xie Mingxian's memory, his hometown is not a nostalgic place at all.

The activities in the village, such as worshiping ancestors and performing arts, are all fun for children, and Xie Mingxian has never been qualified to be among them.This may be the real reason why Xie Mingxian hated almost all entertainment activities and devoted all his energy to reading since he was a child.

So it doesn't matter whether it is a village entrance or a field.Xie Mingxian didn't go out if he didn't go out, he didn't want to know who lived there, it didn't make much difference to Xie Mingxian.Anyway, the people living there must be people who look down on Xie Mingxian.

The old man was obviously very disappointed with Xie Mingxian. No matter how he reminded him, Xie Mingxian didn't show any sudden realization on his face.He simply sighed and walked away.

"Brother Mingxian, do you still remember me?" This time it was a hardcover guy who came up.

Since Xie Mingxian is called brother, this one is also younger than Xie Mingxian.But Xie Mingxian had no desire to continue talking nonsense with these people at all.He just wanted to persuade this group of people to leave quickly, leaving him to sit quietly beside his mother.

But the person who spoke had no such intention, he continued enthusiastically: "Brother Mingxian, we used to read books together when we were young."

When it comes to reading, Xie Mingxian doesn't like this guy even more.If the people in the village can only look at Xie Mingxian with strange eyes, then the students who are studying are the only place where they can directly speak mocking words to Xie Mingxian.There is no need to identify who that person is, it must be the guy who once mocked Xie Mingxian face to face.
