Angel

The captain of the guard stood in front of Master Yu with his bloody injured arm hanging down.Holding a guard with one hand, he whispered with cold sweat on his face: "Master, most of the people have withdrawn, and there are still a few soldiers standing there stubbornly."

Standing in the gloomy headquarters, Master Yu asked, "Where's An Qi?"

The captain of the guard gritted his teeth and suppressed a groan, and replied in a trembling voice: "Commander Sun died for the country, and the brigade refused to leave the front line."

When Master Yu heard this, blue veins popped up on his forehead.He took two steps forward and walked in front of the captain of the guard. He raised his right hand and slapped the opponent's cheek fiercely: "You bastard! If he doesn't leave, you will let him stay?!"

The captain of the guard tilted his head when Master Yu beat him.He closed his eyes in a daze, his lips were already a little pale: "I also wanted to take him away by force, but he shot me, I can't help it."

Master Yu turned his head to look at the clock on the wall - in his agreement with the Japanese, the ceasefire time on the battlefield was only 10 minutes.Three 10 minutes, long gone!

Master Yu's hands were shaking again.He squeezed out the door sideways from the captain of the guard, and he began to make plans to go to the front line in the north of the city and bring Tang Anqi back personally—whether Tang Anqi wanted to or not, if he couldn't do it, he would be knocked out with a stick, and he would tie her back!

But before the car came close, another group of people galloped over.The leader was dressed as an adjutant, and stopped Master Yu out of breath: "Master, Commander Wu refuses to accept the order to surrender!"

Master Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, and set off to the north of the city.However, the car was forced to stop before driving very far—the Japanese artillery shells had already bombarded here, and the ground had already been blasted into potholes.

Master Yu pushed the door open and got out of the car. While ordering someone to lead the horse back, he ran forward bumpily.After running a few steps, I suddenly heard a loud noise.Stopping and looking forward, he saw thick smoke rising into the sky from the north of the city. It was obvious that an unusual big explosion had occurred!

Master Yu's face instantly turned pale.Looking up at the sky ahead, he murmured: "An Qi."

At this time, someone chased up from behind: "Master, General Aikawa sent an urgent message, asking you to arrange the ceremony as soon as possible, and welcome the imperial army to enter the city tomorrow morning."

Master Yu turned his head blankly, as if he couldn't understand what the other person said.Before he could respond, another person rushed over and shouted out of breath, "Master, Japanese planes are going to bomb Nancheng!"

As soon as this remark came out, Master Yu really heard a strange loud noise - the sound of the plane's motor gradually approaching, it was a terrible drought thunder.

At this time, the man hurriedly urged: "Master, the Japanese planes said that they only bombed the southern front line, but the bombs don't have eyes. What if they land here? You should go back to the train station to avoid it." !"

Master Yu was stunned for a second or two, then suddenly shivered, and came back to his senses: "How is Qingyuan?"

"I've made a phone call, and the two wives should have gone into the cave by now."

Master Yu shot his gaze forward again in bewilderment.His heart was on Tang Anqi, but he walked towards the car rationally with both feet.On the way back to the train station, he felt that he had been ripped apart by reality.

After a few 10 minutes of bombing, the battlefield in the south of the city was silent.

There were still no people on the street, only a few soldiers from the Tang brigade were cooperating to drag the corpses.Master Yu finally ran to the north of the city this time, but he didn't find Tang Anqi - there was nothing, not even a dead body!

His body was cold, his face was hot, and his hands and feet were shaking.Standing bent over, he stared straight at the side, watching the soldiers clean up the battlefield.

He is not afraid of flesh and blood, the bandits on Xiaohei Mountain are not vegetarians, as a master, he has naturally seen them before.But the battlefield was almost cleaned up, and he still didn't see Tang Anqi's shadow.

It is not extravagant to ask for a whole body, an arm and a leg, even a shadow is fine.But, nothing.

Master Yu put his hands on his knees, let out a trembling breath, his eyes were dry and there were no tears.

"An Qi..." He took a step forward talking to himself: "You are disobedient, you child, you are really disobedient..."

Having said that, he choked up for a moment, and tears suddenly rolled down his cheeks as if a gate had been opened.Raising his sleeves and rubbing his face, he lowered his eyes, and a light on the ground flickered in his blurred vision.

Slowly squatting down, he reached out to touch the light.Folding his fingers together, he picked it up and brought it to his eyes. He recognized that it was Tang Anqi's pistol—a Belgian pistol he got from somewhere, with a light metallic luster, and patterns engraved on the barrel.There is no such gun in the army, and if there is one, no one uses it, because it is too small and difficult to hold.

The gun was clean, only the side where it landed was stained with dirt.Master Yu wiped away his tears, checked the gun repeatedly, fiddled with it a few more times, and finally ejected it from the magazine by accident.

There were still two bullets in the magazine, so the gun was not empty.Master Yu stared at the bullet in a daze, and hope suddenly arose in his heart.Tang Anqi wouldn't just throw away the pistol - maybe the other party wasn't really blown to ashes?

But he shook his head immediately.Such an analysis is far-fetched.

Master Yu got nothing on the battlefield in the north of the city.

The defense line built by Sun Baoshan's soldiers was completely dismantled. Because there was no cover from the city wall, the inside and outside of the city were completely bare, as if the fig leaf had just been torn off of this land.The Japanese army has assembled outside the city and is scheduled to enter the city tomorrow morning.

With tears in his eyes, Master Yu returned to Qingyuan by car.Qingyuan was not harmed by the flames of war. Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Yu simply hid in the fake cave during the air raid, squatted for a while and then came out.

Seeing Master Yu coming home, the two women greeted him together.Mrs. Yu hugged Jiabao, and Mrs. Tang stopped talking about etiquette and rushed to ask, "Where's An Qi?"

Master Yu stared at the ground and replied softly, "An Qi, maybe she died for the country."

Mrs. Yu didn't understand the word "martyrdom", and she looked at her husband in a daze and didn't dare to speak. After hearing this, Mrs. Tang was taken aback, and then asked calmly, "How did you get there?"

Master Yu still lowered his head: "It must have been bombed...the body was not found."

Mrs. Tang nodded, then turned around and walked towards her small courtyard without looking at Jiabao or asking anyone else.In summer, the flowers are red and the willows are green in Qingyuan. Mrs. Tang is wearing a plain shirt and trousers.

Mrs. Yu finally understood the meaning of "martyrdom", and cried heartbroken.Jiabao was crawling in the cradle by himself, and when he saw Mrs. Yu crying, he grinned and howled too.

Master Yu stood in front of the window and looked out expressionlessly. The scenery outside the window was very good. He kept looking, hoping to see Tang Anqi running back in a long robe and jacket from the picturesque scenery.

Mrs. Tang returned to the room, but didn't say much to the girls.

She wanted warm water to wash her face and comb her hair, then closed the door, carefully applied cream, and evenly applied face powder and rouge.

Lowering her head and opening the drawer, she took out the wedding photo of the two and put it in front of the vanity mirror, then opened the jewelry box, took out a few pieces of dowry jewelry, and put them on one by one.Looking at Tang Anqi in the photo, she suddenly took a breath, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Jiabao can be left to be raised by Mrs. Yu. Mrs. Yu loves the child more than herself, so there is no need to worry.In Mrs. Tang's heart, there is only one Tang Anqi.Reaching out her hand to touch Tang Anqi's face in the photo, she thought that if she lost her husband forever in her life, how could she bear the loneliness in those days?

I can't stand it.

There is a strong smell of gunpowder in the air, which makes people feel sad physically and mentally.The maids sat in the outer room anxiously, and they dared not go in even if the wife did not call for anyone inside.After such a long time, the sky gradually dimmed, and someone from the kitchen sent over dinner.

This time I couldn't keep silent anymore, a girl went to knock on the door to invite my wife out for dinner, but after knocking for a long time, there was no answer from inside.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling something was wrong.The servant who delivered the meals was very strong, so he stepped forward and kicked open the door—then he exclaimed loudly.

Mrs. Tang lay curled up on the bed sideways, with a knife inserted deep into her heart.Blood flowed all over the bed, and there were pools of blood under the bed.

The servant stepped forward, and saw that Mrs. Tang was still holding the handle of the knife with her right hand, and with her left hand stretched out, she was holding the wedding photo of the two of them.

Stretching out his hand to the tip of his nose for a try, the servant straightened up and said in a crying voice, "Madam is gone!"
