The Descendants of Ah Q Chapter 2 After Ah Q was shot

After Ah Q was shot, everything was over for Ah Q, but it was not over yet for the people of Weichuang. When Ah Q was alive, he was a toy made fun of by the idle people in Weichuang. Now that Ah Q had been shot, they naturally couldn't let him go easily and even made fun of him. But as Lu Xun said: People in Weizhuang "naturally say that Ah Q is bad, and being shot is evidence of his badness; if he is not bad, why should he be shot?" I wonder what Ah Q's spirit in heaven feels?

To be fair, Ah Q should have been considered a kind person during his lifetime. Except for pulling out four carrots at the Jingxiu Temple because he was hungry, he had never done anything bad to benefit himself at the expense of others. Even if he joins a theft group in the city, he is "just a small character. Not only can't he climb the wall, but he can't enter the hole. He can only stand outside the hole to pick up things."

It is said that after death or Going to heaven or going to hell. I wonder if Ah Q’s soul went to heaven or went to hell? Of course we mere mortals have no way of knowing. However, according to relevant research, it can be roughly inferred from the half of what Ah Q said before his execution that Ah Q neither went to heaven nor hell, but returned to the human world.

When Ah Q was about to be executed, he wanted to show his manly spirit to the onlookers with their mouths open. He would shout a heroic message before he died, so that his life would not be in vain. But he couldn't think of a suitable word. I don't know why, but he was "self-taught" and "said half a sentence that he had never said before":

"Twenty years later, another one...".

This half sentence is the only information Ah Q left us before his death. From this half sentence, we can speculate about Ah Q's whereabouts.

Lu Xun particularly emphasized the four words "self-taught without a teacher" after this half sentence, which means that no one has ever taught Ah Q this half sentence.

Lu Xun also explained that this was a "half sentence" that Ah Q "never said". Here is the mystery: Why did Ah Q say something he didn't know? And why did he only say half a sentence?

It is said that when a person is about to die, his spirit is connected with the gods, because at this time the gods will come to absorb the human soul, and the human soul is about to leave the human body, so they are connected.

Ah Q, who was walking towards the execution ground, must have been spiritually connected to a certain deity. Otherwise, how could he "speak a sentence that he had never said before" without a teacher? It can be seen that Ah Q must have been instructed by the gods to say this half sentence of "never say".

Since the gods asked Ah Q to say half a sentence, there must be a mystery in it. According to relevant research, it is speculated that it was probably because Ah Q died unjustly and his life was short, so the Lord of Hell did not want to take him in and planned to send him back to the world after twenty years.

The gods told everyone through Ah Q’s mouth that he would come back twenty years later.

Naturally, the onlookers in the city did not understand what Ah Q meant by this sentence. Even the idle people in Weichuang did not pay much attention to Ah Q's half-sentence. What interested them was only the situation in which Ah Q was paraded through the streets and shot.

The idle people in Weichuang did not see Ah Q being shot, but they heard various discussions coming from the city. They were all very mean remarks, very unfavorable to Ah Q, and they put Ah Q in the worst light.

Half a month later, those discussions gradually subsided, and no one mentioned Ah Q again.

About two months later, someone from Weichuang came back from the city and said to everyone in a mysterious and panic voice:

"A Q is alive again. Many people in the city are dead." I’ve seen it before!”

How is this possible? Ah Q was shot to death in broad daylight in full public view. How could he be alive again?

Although the people in Weichuang did not believe it, they became interested again. Although the man who came back from the city didn't know whether Ah Q was really alive, he was trying his best to prove that Ah Q was really alive. He stared wide-eyed and said to everyone:

"The mother-in-law of the niece of the shopkeeper of a coffin shop in the city met Ah Q on the street. She thought she saw a ghost in broad daylight and was so frightened that she contracted a demonic disease. To this day You're still talking nonsense."

"Really?"

"I'm a puppy."

Some people started to believe it. But there were still people who were doubtful and asked:

"Have you seen Ah Q?"

"The government is currently investigating, so I don't know where Ah Q has hidden.

”

Although some people believed it and some didn’t, it brought excitement to the boring people in Weichuang. From now on, whenever anyone went to the city, they would ask for news about Ah Q, because after returning to Weichuang they always Someone asked: Have you seen Ah Q? If you don't tell everyone about Ah Q, it's like going to the city in vain.

So everyone who goes to the city must tell them about Ah Q. Q, to show that they did not come to the city in vain. Most of them were just hearsay or fabricated things just to add a little excitement to the boring idlers.

The story of Ah Q’s resurrection has become more and more mysterious. Ah Q has been mentioned by people for a long time and has been talked about for more than two months. But no one has seen Ah Q. Maybe the government is still looking for him. I don’t know where Ah Q is hiding.
