Nine Songs of Anti-Japanese War

, he said: "Nanjing, I'm sorry, let's not talk about Beiping, I think you are...not normal today."

"Isn't it normal? I was pissed off by him!"

"Then, what do you want to do with him?"

"Nothing to do. I seldom have anything to do with him, and this time too. Let's change the subject." Nanjing finally recovered, "What's the matter, Young Master Hu, who came here in his busy schedule?"

Shanghai took out a letter from the folder and handed it to Nanjing.

Nanjing opened the envelope: "'Respectfully, Brother Ning'... Oh, it was written in Guangzhou."

"He left for Guangdong directly from my house last week." Shanghai explained, "Leave this letter and I'll give it to you. You know he's leaving, right?"

"I don't know. He didn't tell me. I thought he would come back after finishing his work at your house." Nanjing glanced at Shanghai, who hesitated to speak, "It doesn't matter, I guess he will leave anyway. There is nothing shady in the letter." things, let's watch together."

The handwriting in Guangzhou is beautiful, and it also exudes a fresh air.The letter is not very long. It begins with a polite remark, and then gets to the main topic: "I have traveled between the administrative systems of Beijing and Shanghai in the past two years. I do not shy away from saying that I am very disappointed. Apart from being disappointed, I also want to investigate The reason behind it is to find out a way to solve the immediate problem and really bring light. As a result, the more you think about it, the more difficult it is to find this way.

"This must start five years ago. After the situation stabilized in 1928 and you reached a settlement with Wuhan, China's hopes seemed to rest on this new national government. As long as we deal with them properly, we can avoid excessive conflicts with them, and even become our help when the time is right. As long as China is united and has a modern government, even if it has to sacrifice some of the interests of the people, it will surely be able to Get rid of the situation of being passive and beaten, and become one of the emerging powers. [Note 5] "What about today five years later?The bourgeoisie has not ushered in great development. Better yarn can be spun in factories, but automobiles, artillery and other things related to national defense are still not produced.As far as I saw in Shanghai, the business community is often exploited by the government, but the underground gangs and minions have made a lot of money-the government has benefited a lot from cooperating with them.In terms of the establishment of government agencies, we have successfully carried out modernization reforms, built a prototype of national administration, and attracted some talents, but problems soon followed.First of all, the new government claims to unify the whole country, but the scope of its actual jurisdiction is quite limited.There are [-] million people in China, the majority of whom are uneducated peasants who still have most of their feet in the feudal society. They use manpower, at most cattle, as their labor force, and their transportation mainly depends on walking.And the government has almost zero contact with the broadest masses, and it consumes most of its energy just fighting with warlords, which you and I have long been immersed in.When will we be able to lay railways and roads across the country and realize the promise of establishing a modern country?As a retreat, although the task is arduous and the journey is far away, with an efficient and clean personnel system, victory will always come.It's a pity that there is no such thing, the foundation is rotten.Going back two years, from the KMT when I first started the Northern Expedition, there are many old members of the Tongmenghui and young people who also belong to the CPC. They are all enthusiastic idealists.But after the purge of the party...too many people were driven, hunted, or pushed to the edge.In order to attract the warlords, a large number of unqualified people have been recruited, with strong old bureaucratic habits, who have nothing to do but fill their own pockets, and ruined the only remaining fresh air.As for the disadvantages of legislation and administration, I won't go into details here.For the people at the bottom, the government cannot improve their lives, and as soon as other people show concern for them, they are suspected of being red elements.We are farther and farther away from the word "revolution". Up to now, we can only rely on the appointed military leaders to maintain the barely calm inside and outside of KMT.Here I would like to point out that since Germany and Japan practiced fascism, their national strength has indeed increased, but their ideas are too extreme, so it is better not to follow them blindly.The arms race can frighten restless warlords, but it has no advantage at all to our biggest threat in the East—Japan.

"Writing about Japan, my letter should also be finished. Everything must be gradual. Compared with Germany and Japan, which pursue high efficiency, Britain and the United States tend to adopt gentle reforms, so the side effects are relatively small. When the revolution is hopeless, you might as well pursue this path. Reform Relying on the stability of the order, if we can live in a peaceful period without foreign enemies, we still hope to get better. As a result, the September [-]th Incident caused us heavy losses, and in order to prevent invasion, we invested the main force in knowing that there was no hope. Do not do the arms expansion. So far, I have been unable to think of a good strategy. The Chinese revolution has failed, and the reform is forced by the environment, and it is moving like a snail.

"The last turmoil has long passed, and I have no ability to play here. I can only go back to my hometown, seek to make great efforts in the local area, and give back to the central government with meager efforts. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I wish you well.

"Sincerely, Guangzhou"

After Nanjing read the letter, he threw it back on the table, and his body didn't move except for this movement.

"Today must be my bad day." He said coldly.

He also said: "As expected of Guangzhou, I have been outspoken in the letter. I have divided the letter into paragraphs, and each paragraph can offend a different group of people. All in all, this letter can be summed up in two words: death."

Shanghai is also feeling very heavy at this time.He asked, "What to do with this letter?"

"Put it away and put it away so that no one else can see it. Shanghai, are you in a hurry to go back today?"

"There's no rush, I'm here after I've dealt with the matter at hand."

"Then stay here and stay with me for a while, okay?"

"Okay." Shanghai pulled the chair closer.

Nanjing rested his elbows on the desk, propped his forehead with his hands, and bent the back of his neck in an overwhelmed arc. "I am an ignorant person. This situation could have been predicted five years ago or even earlier. This is a foregone conclusion. Guangzhou just wrote it out, but I still feel very sad.

"It's not like I didn't do nothing, and I tried my best to avoid it. But... this is the so-called wrong step, wrong step. At that time, you felt that it was impossible not to solve a problem first, and there was no way to leave some hidden dangers for it. Then these Hidden dangers have become new urgent problems, one after another, forming an endless loop. Unless its foundation is destroyed, there is no other way to solve it.”

Comforting people is the weak link in Shanghai's ability, but now he can't stand it any longer: "There will always be a way. You are the capital, you are under a lot of pressure, and you happen to be in troubled times. Guangzhou is also a bit more serious. The development of Shanghai's business community is not yet That's pretty good. Don't overthink it."

Nanjing put down his hand and curled his lips: "Well. The capital is such a boring and disturbing thing. People like to remember the prosperous times and their most beautiful times, but it is the prosperous times of a dynasty. How long? How long can they be ignored when they are broken into, looted, or displaced, and distressed? Remember the happy and forget the sad. This is human nature, but it is not a good one. Forget The pain of history will only cause the tragedy to repeat itself over and over again. Besides, as the capital, I have never really enjoyed a prosperous age that can be described..." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I shouldn't complain. I'm still alive, live Well done. Shanghai, you are still young, you have never seen... Many beautiful cities used to have supreme prosperity, but once a fire, a military disaster, or a natural disaster, there will be no more, and there will be no ashes to be found I will pay homage to them forever in my heart." He looked towards Shanghai with many things floating in his eyes, "I hope you will never see such a thing."

Eyes suddenly a little sore.Shanghai met his gaze and held his hand firmly.

"But everything in front of me is not what I want, but I asked for it." Nanjing retracted his gaze, "After the incident, in the past two years, I have been thinking about one thing repeatedly. I... I am sorry for Shenyang. He helped our government , although there are many twists and turns in it, but if you help, you will help. He suffered a catastrophe, and I did nothing but make a few powerless statements. The same is true for Peiping, I made a slip of the tongue on the phone. He has suffered for decades There are too many crimes, and now there is a wall between the Japanese and the puppets. He is the most insecure person in China. As for me, because Shenyang wanted to take back my hometown, I got angry with Beiping, as if it was right to throw him in Jiangxi to suppress the Communist Party... joke.

"I am the capital, originally... I should protect them..."

"Don't think too much." Shanghai said softly, "The right time, place and people are harmonious, and it's not something you can do alone. Let's not talk about these things for now, shall we?" Seeing that the other party did not refuse, he continued, "I'm a little I'm hungry, would you like to treat me to dinner?"

Nanjing was angry and funny: "You have so much money, why do you still want me to invite you?"

"You are a landlord, I dare not steal your limelight." Shanghai has plausible words.

"Still defending. Please, please, see how much you can eat." Nanjing pushed the swivel chair and stood up, "Let's go!"

dead flower

Harbin will not bother to remember useless and painful memories in vain, and even if he remembers, he must get them out of his mind as soon as possible.The romance and innocence of his temperament does not prevent him from being a very real person at the same time.

But he still remembers that day. At the turn of autumn and winter in 1933, he and his family left Hebei for Tianjin by train.The houses in the residential area that passed through after leaving the station were built very high. When walking on the street and looking up, you can only see the fragmented sky cut by the eaves.It was a cloudy day, with leaden gray clouds one after another, weighing heavily on people's heads, and the cold wind blowing from the sea chased the withered yellow leaves and swept across the streets and alleys.Although it was early in the morning, the sun could not reach the city due to the obstruction of the dark clouds, and only the shadows of the clouds gradually fading confirmed the passage of time.

This oppressive scene is unsettling.Harbin was also full of uneasiness when he remembered that he and Changchun had just finished their sneaky journey and returned to report their safety.Shen Yang welcomed them back happily, asked them a few words about their travel experiences, and then let them enter the house to rest.The two people who were ready to be scolded were confused by Shen Yang's gentle attitude, only to find that they thought things too simply when they entered the room.

Liao Yang sat inside with a warm smile and a dignified demeanor.The heroine of the female high school who had been the boss for a long time in Shenyang stood up slowly and said, "Ah Chang, Binzi, haven't you been exercising much recently? Come, let me have a competition, and I will allow you two to go up together."

And then... nothing more.

Harbin suddenly had a leg pain and a back pain everywhere. Fortunately, it was just an illusion caused by the painful memory. If you don't think about it, you will be fine.In the past six months, the young commander-in-chief went to Europe, and the Northeast Army followed his orders to gather in North China and stand by.People will still discuss the plan of returning to their hometown privately or publicly, and they will bump into the same wall within a short distance. After the Great Wall of Resistance, there were no new wars in the north, which can be regarded as a reluctant leisure.Two years after the incident, everyone's minds have settled down a bit. When they get together, they don't often discuss politics and the future. Only Shenyang and Jilin still have some contacts with military and political officials.

They are all the same, accumulating energy in silence and waiting.

Harbin lowered his head and followed the large troops towards the Italian Concession, reaching out to button up his hat that was blown by the wind, and the hem of the long windbreaker he was wearing was still blowing with the wind.Shen Yang ordered them to pack lightly and set out on the road with only necessities, except for a few insiders who did not alert the Northeast Army.Recently, Harbin has heard all kinds of rumors that the young marshals will go south to suppress the bandits as soon as they return to China, but now they have come to the concession... This accumulated energy has reached the point where it should erupt.

As he expected, as soon as they found a villa with the help of Tianjin, Shenyang and Jilin gathered them on the second floor and announced that they would enter Nanman with the newly appointed members of the CPC.

"Although we returned to our own land, large and medium-sized cities and towns were occupied by the Japanese puppets, and it was neither familiar nor safe for us. In this dangerous environment where we were outnumbered and outnumbered, we What we have to do is no longer a direct confrontation, but a joint underground struggle with the people. We will break away from the jurisdiction of the Nationalist government, and at the same time bid farewell to the Northeast Army in the pass. Go in your career. Jilin and I only make this decision in our personal capacity. For the future, whether to go with us, or stay in North China to follow the activities of the Northeast Army, or have other plans, please make your own decisions without any psychological burden. Because This choice is indeed very dangerous. Although our physique is relatively strong, it is still possible to lose our heads. If we are not sincere, we may not have good results if we are strong. We will give you three days, and you can think about it according to your own ideas. Do it, and then we'll go our separate ways."

Shenyang Chen said, his heart was very calm.It was a feeling of incomparable joy after a clear understanding. All the grief, indignation, loss, struggle, despair, indecision, and deep thinking in the past were all emptied at this moment.When a person really thinks through and sees his own heart, he will realize how unnecessary the previous hesitation and worrying about gains and losses are.

It is true that if he leaves, he will lose too many things in the eyes of others: status, power, years of painstaking efforts, and the favor and reliance between certain people...Since they block his way forward, he might as well abandon them, because he He has recognized what is the last thing he can lose.

He did not underestimate the difficulty of this road at all.He didn't even believe that the armed forces organized by the CPC could threaten the Kwantung Army's rule, but the fire of resistance must be passed on through action, no matter how hard it is, how tiring and how dangerous it is, it must be passed on.This is the choice he made as "Shenyang", as a man.

Fate is ill-fated, so we have to face the difficulties.As long as you have no regrets in your heart, you can do everything honestly.

After he made the announcement, he was not in a hurry to observe the expressions of the crowd.Even his family members are independent individuals. They all have the right to control their own lives, and they don't need him to dictate or affect his determination.But after a few people immediately expressed their intention to follow him after his speech, the rest of them joined in one after another after some whispering. In just 10 minutes, no one stayed.

"Cough! Let me say, can't you think about it more carefully?" Shen Yang said earnestly, "Some of us are still young, have never fought or endured hardships, and I'm afraid we won't be able to adapt if we go there. I have to add to the chaos... There is no medicine for regret if you choose the wrong one!"

Only then did he seriously look at the people in the room, and he didn't see any wavering in their eyes, and when he swept across Harbin intentionally or unintentionally, he received an unconvinced stare.

Tieling took the lead in responding to his advice: "Regrets? Maybe there will be regrets too. How can you tell what will happen in the future. But I know that if I don't go with you, I will regret it even more, so the lesser of two evils." He turned to face his family members, and raised his voice sharply, "Everyone said, isn't it!"

Men, women and children all dragged out their voices and answered, "Yes—"

Many people laughed into a ball after answering, as if they didn't think it was messy enough, they used "don't hold me back with your small body" to each other to tease the acquaintances.Seeing that the serious meeting scene was about to be turned into a comedy show, Shen Yang rushed them back to their respective houses, and Ji Lin also helped out.

"Such a major issue was decided by them laughing and joking." After the bombardment, Shen Yang complained, "Looking at their dead faces for the past two years, why did they suddenly come back to life? Why do you think we are going back to the Northeast for an outing?"

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Of course not. They probably feel that life has hope again."

"It would be great if we can keep this way after we go back. I'm still worried about a few little guys..."

"Our elders have to take care of them, and they have to grow up by themselves." Jilin looked at him, her long hair tied up was driven by the cold wind from the window, she didn't seem to feel the slightest chill, her tone was full of warmth of full support for him And An Ding, "When we are together as a family, there is no barrier we cannot overcome."

At this time, Harbin and Changchun were walking down the stairs to the first floor.Changchun just followed Daliu to express his position with everyone, and he didn't attract anyone's attention among the crowd who went downstairs.In the early days, after he learned that the Puppet Manchukuo treated his city favorably, he received some observational and worried looks, but as time passed, he behaved as usual, and gradually returned to his original low-key state.Generally speaking, no matter how high a hat is put on a city, his avatar will find it difficult to like the shackles of a foreign race, not to mention that he is surrounded by relatives, so he is less likely to go astray due to momentary confusion.

The only person who has seen Changchun panic is Harbin who accompanied him back to "Xinjing".At the stairs, he asked Changchun what his plans were before leaving for the north. Changchun said that he wanted to take a stroll in the concession in the afternoon, but he hadn't thought of anything else yet.The Harbin journey was exhausting and wanted to rest for a while, so he said that he would not go with him.

Changchun said: "Okay, you can rest. Anyway, there is still time tomorrow."

If only these things had happened, this day would not have become an outlier in Harbin's memory.Until noon, the day was filled with what he classified as positive, happy memories.Since you are happy, it does not involve multiple-choice questions about remembering or forgetting.

He deeply remembered this day, not because of these happy memories, those happiness died in half a day.

Like an inscription engraved into a rock, like a nail rusted into a wall, like a coffin buried in loess, like a bird falling into the ocean, he couldn't force himself to forget this day.

On this day, Shenyang became a lonely leader; on this day, Harbin lost his brotherly Changchun.

When they arrived in the morning, they only felt that the autumn wind was bleak and the sky was gloomy. In the evening, the wind gradually weakened and the air became more and more stuffy.Throughout the day, the citizens had been guessing when it would rain. The sky was getting darker and darker after noon, but not a single drop of rain fell.Harbin was lying by the window, and there were two or two Italians walking leisurely on the well-greened streets below.Most of these southern Europeans had cheerful expressions, as if they were born with no sense of worry. The wind and rain that blew up in China's land were mostly turned into a painless slanting wind and drizzle once the concessions blocked them.

He has some thoughts in his heart, but he doesn't care about worry, and naturally he doesn't envy these foreigners.He has already prepared for the proposals of Shenyang and Jilin, and now he is only worried about whether he can do a good job in the new job after leaving his familiar field and peaceful environment.It bothers him a little, not much, since he's always been a go-getter.

Say goodbye to the old and move on to the new.You don't have to act according to the face of others, and you don't have to worry about the entanglement of the interests of all parties.There are more than a dozen relatives who support each other, and they are committed to a cause that they firmly believe is right.So it is willing to endure no matter how many difficulties and obstacles.

And...he thought that if he followed this road, he would have a chance to reunite with Qiqihar.He believed that Brother Qi and General Ma would not be caught with their abilities, and they should still be dealing with the enemy in North Manchuria.When the foundation in Nanman is stabilized, he will apply to the organization to go north, and of course he will also take Mudanjiang with him.Changchun, although I really want him to be by my side, but he is from Jilin and has always been very assertive, let's see when the time comes...

Before six o'clock, night fell lightly.The tired birds return to their nests, and the lights gradually turn on.The air is humid and full of sluggish water vapor, but Harbin's mood is gradually relaxed, and even a little brighter.

The lights lit up along the street reflected the dark clouds in the sky a dull red, like a sponge soaked in blood, ready to pour out if you don't pay attention.At night... it should rain, right?It should still be raining a lot.

"You haven't experienced anything yet."

"what?"

"storm."

"How bad does it have to be to turn into the storm you're talking about?"

"When your dreams are shattered one by one, when your beliefs are shattered in an instant. When you are so desperate that you can only see the night even in the daytime, when you want to cry out to vent your pain but you can't even shed tears. not come out."

Brother Qi, look.I've weathered a storm and am standing here unscathed.Soon, I will meet you, and you can no longer look at me like a child.

He felt the strength and courage lost in the two years since the accident flowed back into his body little by little.He is the special city of Harbin, the jewel in the northeast of China, full of youthful vigor and confidence, as long as he thinks it through himself, nothing outside of him can scare him.And before the liberation, before the farmers can sow the spring seeds with full expectation, before they can walk in the streets of their own territory openly, he will do his best to become as reliable as Brother Qi and Brother Shen. man.

He heard the pendulum strike six times, and it was six o'clock.There are only a few neighbors in the Italian Concession, why hasn't Changchun come back yet?Could it be that he went crazy and went to another concession?Criticize him after dinner later.

Suddenly there was a sound downstairs.He looked towards the first floor and saw an unexpected sight.A rickshaw stopped at the entrance of the villa. Tianjin threw down the money and said, "No need to look for it."

"Not yet." Shen Yang looked at Tianjin's face and felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Tianjin gritted his teeth. "Oops... I have an eyeliner and saw a figure that looks like him, in..."

"Where? As long as it's in your territory, there's no danger, right?"

"It's hard to say." Tianjin paused for a moment, staring at Shen Yang, which was filled with conjecture and pity, which was exactly the kind of staring Shen Yang disliked the most.Before the Battle of Liaoxi, Tianjin stared at him with such eyes.

"He may be in the Japanese Concession."

The Puppet Manchurian Emperor Puyi embarked on a journey to "Manchuria" from the Tianjin Concession, which was half held hostage by the Japanese.

As for Changchun... No one wants to think about it anymore, but the negative premonition has penetrated into their hearts bit by bit like venom, and no one can ignore it.

The first person who couldn't sit still when he heard the news was Jilin.She said that it was the best misunderstanding to go to the Japanese Concession to find out, even if there was trouble, she would save Changchun at all costs.Shenyang must also go, and Harbin strongly demanded to go with him. Considering that he had a good understanding of spy activities because of his special status in the jurisdiction, Shenyang agreed to take him with him since he had never eaten pork and seen pigs running.

Tianjin took them into the Japanese Concession and stopped in a dark alley next to the kiln. "Many people in the Japanese Concession know me, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to act with you." He stuffed a detailed map of the Japanese Concession, "I saw the location of the person suspected of Changchun marked on the map, not far away, just two Street, be careful."

"Okay, thank you for doing so much for us." Jilin said. "Come back soon."

"Hmm. Take care, you all!"

When they arrived at the marked location, the street was empty and quiet. This high-end residential area was in stark contrast to the noisy Yaozi Lane two streets away.They hid in the shadows that the streetlights could not reach and observed, discussing in low voices whether they should split up and search in three directions. A house opened its door, and several Japanese came out while saying goodbye, surrounded by a medium-sized man. The man boarded a dark and shiny old car.

The distance was a bit far, and the faces of these people could not be seen clearly, nor could they hear the content of the conversation.

The car moved, brushing past the edge of the shadow where they were hiding.In the back row of the car, within half a second, Jilin saw a pair of eyes that she would never forget.

Those eyes did not find her.Jilin shuddered, and unquestionably spit out a word: "Chasing!"

The car drove unhurriedly, as if it was just planning to make a transfer in the concession area.The car stopped at the first intersection, and the three of them caught up.

According to what was agreed before, Shenyang and Harbin hid nearby and waited for orders. Jilin pretended to be a Japanese woman who had just arrived from the mainland and knocked on the window to ask for directions.The driver was a little impatient, but he couldn't bear to leave a beautiful woman aside, and simply told her how to get there.

"But sir, it sounds a bit far away, I'm afraid...can you give me a ride?"

"No."

"why?"

"We are not with you."

"Ah... sorry to bother you."

The two people in the back seat kept silent, and Jilin didn't even look at them.The driver was about to roll up the window when Ji Lin said again: "Well, I need to bother you again—"

He was so annoyed that he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and was about to continue his movements when he was suddenly pinned down on the back of his head and knocked unconscious on the steering wheel.

A person in the backseat immediately opened fire.Jilin used the car body as a cover to avoid two bullets, and when someone opened the car door to chase after her, she drew her gun and shot through the other person's throat.

Two gunshots had exposed their position, and patrol officers would come over soon.Shenyang and Harbin crouched on the sidelines watching the movement, seeing that Jilin could solve it alone, they did not step forward.Looking at the momentum, it was smoother than expected. They should only need to fire a few shots to cover when they left.

Jilin jumped into the back seat and grabbed Changchun's forearm: "Brother, are you okay?"

Changchun was not tied up.Just then Jilin saw that there were only him and two other Japanese in the car, and he thought that Changchun would either have his hands tied or injected with drugs, otherwise he would not be able to deal with both of them with the power of the city.She waited for Changchun to look back at her with the surprise of a dead end, and said, let's go quickly, and then she would send a signal for Shenyang and Harbin to get in the car, and get into the driver's seat by herself.This classic car is strong enough to crash through the checkpoints of the Japanese Concession.When she returned to a safe place, she would give him a good lesson to make him realize the danger of carelessness, and he could no longer run around alone.

But she didn't wait for what she should have said.

Changchun looked back at her steadily and said, "Sister, you shouldn't have come."

Jilin forced a smile: "What are you talking about? Stop messing around..."

"I mean," Changchun's voice was very soft, but it was deafening to Jilin's ears, "if you insist on taking me away, I will deal with you."

"..."

Jilin looked down at the hand on Changchun's forearm.The fingers tightened like a twitch, and then loosened.

"Hurry up, there's still time." Changchun said again.

Jilin lowered his head, and the expression on his face disappeared.

At this time, the first police car arrived at the intersection.Harbin wanted to rush out a long time ago, but was pulled back by Shenyang. The next second, police cars approached, and the number was still increasing rapidly.Unlike Harbin who is still struggling, Shenyang has already guessed the reason from the behavior of the two.Their assumption that Changchun disappeared after being ambushed by Japanese spies was suddenly overturned.

At this moment, Shen Yang had given up, and turned to think about the way out.It's not that I don't want to fight, but that I can't fight.

The first drop of rain broke away from the cloud, and fell in a straight line onto the dusty ground.Then, the rain poured down.

Jilin stood in the rain, silently looking at her brother.She taught him how to ride horses, how to hunt, how to write, and how to sing... Although she was not very dazzling, she was still her proud family.And he just said that he would deal with her.

The police car is getting closer.

If she made a decisive decision, resisted with all her strength, and made good use of every bullet in the gun, and with the support of the other two, she might still be able to escape, although it would be impossible to take Changchun away.She snatched the baton of the first patrolman who rushed up, hit him on the back of the head with one stick, and raised her gun in the face of more people pressing on.When the gun was raised, it seemed to slip suddenly, and it fell into a puddle on the ground.

Looking back on this detail, Shen Yang felt that Jilin had already made a decision on his own initiative here.Although it was a temporary idea, it was not an accident.

Jilin was immediately subdued by the swarming patrol police.Changchun got out of the car and shouted, "Don't hurt her!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a beam of flashlight shone into the hiding corner of the two anxious bystanders.Shenyang grabbed Harbin and dragged him towards the Haihe River in the east.On the other side of the river is the Italian Concession.

Harbin ran mechanically, and the rain hit his head and face, shaking his eyes into chaos.The heavy rain quickly formed small puddles on the road. The lights reflected in the puddles, and there were one hundred and one thousand more lights illuminating the way they fled.Their footsteps crushed the light, which came back to light again as soon as they had passed.

In the dark night, with shining lights, howling wind and violent rain, gunshots behind the scenes were blurred by the sound of rain.

They weaved through alleys where cars could not enter.He glanced back in the middle, a bullet grazed his forehead, and blood flowed down, but he didn't feel any pain.

Only then did he realize that he couldn't hurt anymore.The thing he feared the most, the thing he couldn't accept the most, still happened.

Changchun betrayed them without a word of explanation.

Qiqihar's voice sounded again from a distant place: "You said it is not difficult to maintain 'alive', maybe, but there is also 'alive' that is more unbearable than death."

Compared with the loss of an entire territory, the betrayal of one person may be insignificant.But Harbin knows that going forward is a prelude, and this is the main theme of his storm.The belief that had been supporting him seemed to be falling apart at this moment, and he even heard the bang of its collapse.He is just a walking dead now, being dragged by someone who doesn't know, running with all his strength for an unknown goal.

icy rain.Cruel world.Can't believe people.
