star sea is you

Wen Shixuan helped to get a few books of Ji Shaobai, and walked beside Ji Shaobai to accompany him back to the rented place.

"I'm bothering you again."

"You're welcome, sir."

The streets that have just rained are full of potholes and water.The two tried their best to avoid these puddles, but their shoes still got a little wet.

"Why hasn't Chen Sheng come these days?" Chen Sheng hasn't come to school these days.

"I don't know too well. I wanted to go to his house to find him two days ago. Only then did I realize that he hadn't told me his home address or the situation at his home."

A car passed by them, ran over a puddle, and splashed water on Ji Shaobai's trousers.Wen Shixuan stood behind anxiously and shouted loudly, wanting the car to stop.But the car disappeared without a trace.

"Let's go, it's alright."

Wen Shixuan put the book under his arm, took out the handkerchief and squatted down in front of Ji Shaobai, wiping off the yellow mud on his trousers wholeheartedly.

"Just go back and wash."

The two walked along the street, and the sky was dark at this time.It is evening.

Wen Shixuan stopped at the "Dexuan" store, which was magnificently renovated and Ji Shaobai avoided.

"Sir, you wait here a moment. I'll go in and get something to eat."

Ji Shaobai knew that he spent money to buy food for him again, and it was often like this.He refused, resisted, and every time Wen Shixuan verbally promised that he would not buy again next time, and next time, he would still move the big and small bags to his small room.He is no stranger to it.

After a while, Wen Shixuan came out with the packed box in both hands, three big boxes in his left hand and right hand.

"That's too much."

"not much."

Wen Shixuan bought a lot of things in several shops that were still open.The battle was like a fleeing person taking all the belongings he couldn't give up on the road.

On the way, the two talked about the usual past.Turn into the alley and pass under a locust tree.

"Sir, I'm leaving." Wen Shixuan said suddenly.

Ji Shaobai stopped, and then continued to move forward.After a while, I asked, "Where are you going?"

"Hong Kong, there will be a ship to take foreigners to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. My dad asked someone to get a ticket. Our family will go to Hong Kong and then to England."

Shanghai is under the control of the Japanese, except for the concession, which is not very safe now.There are Japanese arresting people everywhere.

"Britain? It's safer than domestic."

"My dad said the same thing."

Conversation cut short.silence.Walked to the place where Ji Shaobai lived.Pushing open the door, there used to be young ladies and wives sitting at the door gossiping, and children playing in the yard, but recently there are no more.Many people left because they couldn't afford to rent.The courtyard became more and more quiet.

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Wen."

People who pass by say hello to them.

Wen Shixuan came here often, and these neighbors of Ji Shaobai got used to the people next to Mr. Ji, respecting Wen Shixuan just like they did Ji Shaobai.

Ji Shaobai opened the door.Wen Shixuan went in first to put down the things in his hands, and took out the meat and vegetables wrapped in paper from his schoolbag and put them on the table.

"Go to Hong Kong and send a letter back." Ji Shaobai still had no expression on his face, he was used to hiding his emotions in plain words.

"Okay." Wen Shixuan stared at Ji Shaobai, trying to imprint his face and figure in his mind.He didn't want to leave, he had just realized his feelings for Ji Shaobai, but he wanted to leave him, maybe he would never see him again for the rest of his life.Thinking of this, he felt a pang of sadness.

"I won't see you off the day after tomorrow. I don't like parting."

"Ok!"

"Today, do you want to eat here?"

Wen Shixuan nodded.

"Every time I stay here waiting for you, this time I want to go in and see how you cook."

Ji Shaobai hesitated for a while, put a hand on his shoulder, "Let's go." He was reluctant to part with Wen Shixuan.Under the current situation, some people join the country, and some people go to other countries by boat. Everyone has different choices.For Ji Shaobai, he looks down on such a person. A young man with education should serve the country instead of throwing it away when the country is in trouble.But the strange thing is, looking at Wen Shixuan, he didn't make any accusations, he just hoped that he would be safe.This is his selfishness.

This dinner took twice as long as before.They were reluctant to end the meal, so they ate slowly, and they would eat when they were full.However, there will always be enough to eat and finish eating.People always have to leave.

After dinner, Ji Shaobai sent Wen Shixuan out of the yard, and the two stood at the door saying goodbye.It was completely dark at this time.

Wen Shixuan raised his hand several times, wanting to hug Ji Shaobai, but after thinking about it, forget it.People who are going to leave, why should they provoke others.

"I'll miss you, sir." After saying this, he turned around and strode away without looking back, the wind dried the tears on his face.Ji Shaobai walked back on crutches.The two walked in different directions, farther and farther away.

In the early morning, the sky is bright, and there are still morning stars in the sky.Wen Shixuan's family had already packed their luggage, and they were afraid of being intercepted by the Japanese if they didn't take a car.They took the pier where the rickshaw driver arrived.Not counting as a family, his father, auntie and her daughter, auntie [-], and him, five people.Others are abandoned in beautifully decorated mansions, and when they wake up, they will find that they have been abandoned.

Standing on the pier, Wen Shixuan saw a ship parked in the sea, it was not very big, it could only accommodate about a hundred people.It was a British ship, flying the British flag.There were many foreign soldiers with guns parked at the boarding place, and they stopped those who wanted to break into it.An old man begged the soldiers, weeping, just to get his daughter on board.But the soldiers were unmoved, and with a stern face, they let people with tickets board.It's hard to get a ticket, his father told him, and he knew it without saying it.

Wen Shixuan followed his aunt on board, and when he passed by the old man, he turned his head to look at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl on the other side, and then turned his gaze to the same seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who was led by his aunt in front of him. sister.She was wearing a blue dress, with her head held high like a princess traveling in ancient times.

They boarded the ship, stood on the deck, and looked down on those people who were like ants like kings.

"Dad, what are they going to do? I thought—"

"That's the only way to go. They have been with me for so long, and it's not bad to leave a mansion."

"Father, shall we live in Hong Kong?" Wen Shixuan's younger sister came over and held Wen Wen's hand.

"Britain." Wen Wen smiled mysteriously, with a beautiful daughter on the right and a handsome son on the left.He seems to be able to see a happy life.

"Shixuan, don't think about it." Fifth Yiniang patted Wen Shixuan's hand holding the railing with a sad face.

Having checked the tickets, the soldiers began to retreat and board the ship.The stairs to board the boat gradually lead away from the land.

The old man with his daughter insisted on breaking in, but was shot dead by those soldiers.

Wen Shixuan closed his eyes habitually when he heard the gunshots.When they opened their eyes again, they fell into a pool of blood.I remembered the despair in the eyes of those two people before, their prayers.They begged Wen Shixuan to kill him.

It seemed dark.

"Dad, take care of yourself. Wen Yu, take good care of Dad." Wen Yu is his sister's name. 17 years old, still have a lot of life.

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about?"

At this moment, Wen Shixuan understood that the country needed him.
