Cartilage [Republic of China]

It seems very suitable to say a few high-sounding good words in front of the three of you. If you can say something that can make them admire and attract them to compliment yourself, that would be great.

He searched his brains, but still couldn't think of a word worthy of speaking to them, so he began to feel depressed.He suddenly calmed down and left without saying a word.

Towards the afternoon, someone came and brought them a meal, three hard, tooth-crushing cakes, and a little water.After the man left, Zhu Yanren threw all the things into a wooden box.Take out the hidden cakes and eat them separately.

Xiao Zhao didn't take the cake, but held Zhu Yanren's hand: "I'm going to go crazy if this goes on, I don't know how to shoot, if he forces us to fight, I will go crazy if I don't die."

Zhu Yanren was held by his hand, looking a little dazed: "I will find a way." As he spoke, he went to look at Ji Yun: "Ji Yun, do you have a way?"

Ji Yun took the piece of cake he bit off and put it in his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, and he sat cross-legged on the bed.He concentrated on looking at the cake and shook his head.

In the evening, the setting sun poured in, and the silent courtyard seemed lonely and empty after experiencing the noise and chaos in the afternoon.The three of them didn't mention the matter of eating, and they were unusually taciturn.Zhu Yanren didn't like to be nervous anymore, he took off his shoes and huddled with Xiao Zhao and rolled into the kang.

Ji Yun quickly fell asleep, snoring lightly and evenly.And Xiao Zhao didn't know when he got up, sat on the edge of the kang and looked out.Zhu Yanren stretched out his leg and poked his thigh: "Xiao Zhao, are you unable to sleep?"

Xiao Zhao held his foot, and gently scratched the sole of his foot with his thumbnail. Zhu Yanren bowed, smiled and rolled to his side.Xiao Zhao asked him, "Xiao Zhu, why did you go to America?"

Xiao Zhao was sitting, and Zhu Yanren lay his head on his thigh, his eyes were wide open, looking at the gray roof: "I was very young at that time, only ten years old." Thinking of the happy things, he crooked Turning his head to look, he smiled, his eyelids were folded layer by layer, and he had a cute and stupid look: "I might not be nourished at that time, and my hair was still yellow. Because of my strange eyes, others thought I was a foreigner. When Godfather Lun took me away, he thought I was his child, and the government didn't even ask me!"

Now just looking at his eyes, he also looks like a foreigner. If he has blue eyes and blond hair, even people who are familiar with him will be taken aback for a while.He rubbed the corners of Zhu Yanren's eyes with a pair of delicate hands: "Your father agrees with you?"

"He said that there is civil turmoil, so it would be good for me to go out to study." His expression darkened: "Actually, there is another reason, and that is family affairs..."

"Family?" He was a little curious.Getting down on the ground is like listening to the secrets told by sisters and girls.He attached his ears to his face.Hearing Zhu Yanren's clear voice, there was no complaint or embarrassment: "Mother is also very willing to go to the United States and take me with her. They all guessed that I might not be my father's child. Later, my mother did not return to China," he sniffed, probably lying on his back He felt uncomfortable, and his voice seemed aggrieved: "I remarried to Darren, my father has a good temper and is always easy to bully."

Xiao Zhao's hand moved slowly again, and he held his hand. He wanted to say something else: "I have heard about your father, Mr. Zhu, and your mother has also heard about it. It's different." After thinking for a while, he said softly, "You should trust your father." Zhu Yanren lowered his eyes, rubbed his head on the kang twice and nodded: "I trust him and love him very much. , so my father asked me to come back and I came back. He didn't worry about us two siblings, being together is finally something to rely on."

"Where's your father?" Xiao Zhao turned his face away and put it against his face.Snuggled up, he felt a little sleepy.

Zhu Yanren also spoke in a dream, with a very soft voice: "He went to Japan, I will go to him in the future..."

His stomach was so distended, Zhu Yanren shook his head to wake up, he wanted to go to the bathroom.It was still late at night, he woke up like a dick, and he only remembered where he was after concentrating on it.At the same time, I also found that Ji Yun's place was empty.He didn't think much about it. He took his shoes and looked out the window. It was pitch black. He gritted his teeth and tried not to wake up Xiao Zhao.Walking to the hut, he tried his best to think wildly while walking, he thought that he and his sister had inherited their mother, their nerves were fragile and sensitive, they would always vibrate physiologically, and the wind seemed to be able to stop them.

The moonlight was clear and bright, and his stomach felt happy, and he also felt much happier.After returning to the house, Ji Yun was still not there.He wanted to check the time, so he put his hand in his pocket, opened it and saw that it was already early morning.He put the pocket watch back again, touched his chest, and understood everything.Ji Yun didn't take all of them away from him, but kindly left him a valuable pocket watch.

Without any sleepiness, he passed Xiao Zhao and closed the half-closed window tightly.Wrapped in a quilt, with his back to the wall, next to Xiao Zhao, with his head resting on Xiao Zhao's shoulder, now he and Xiao Zhao really couldn't run away.

Ji Yun was running fast on the road, and he wanted to run as much as possible during the night. They lived in a west wing room, not a formal room, and the windows were opened very high for ventilation.It was not easy to climb up the window, so he found a piece of rope and tied it around his waist, and tied the rotten stool to the other end.

Jumping out of the window, he held a sharp wooden block in his hand.Carefully observe the soldiers guarding the door.The soldier was really sleepy, snoring loudly.It would be troublesome to kill him, so he dropped the wood and quietly pulled the stool over with a rope.In order not to make any big noises, he could only use his body to catch it. If it was done skillfully, it wouldn't hurt.Maybe it's not as sensitive as when I was young, or maybe it's just a report of the present world.The stool fell at a tricky angle and sprained his right wrist.This was really not a serious injury, but it was fatal enough on his way to escape.

He was not sad to abandon Zhu Yanren and Xiao Zhao, let alone regretted it, these two could only be a burden on the road, it is very likely that the three of them were captured by Gao Xieyang and slaughtered separately in the courtyard.As for the consequences for everyone, he didn't care about it, and he didn't have the ability to grasp it. It would be an unremarkable story buried in the torrent.

He ran cautiously, and had to hide for a while when he encountered Japanese patrols, and he could only rely on his vague memory of two days ago to judge the route to the station.At that time, the car was driving on the main road, but he didn't dare to go, so he could only detour around the adjacent path or the field.The ground was full of muddy water, and it took half a day to put your feet in.So, he can only go around.For all these reasons, until it was almost dawn, he was still in a devastated country, and Japanese cars would drive by on the main road from time to time.

He originally planned to escape in one day, but it turned out that he could not move an inch during the day. There are more Japanese soldiers with guns in this generation than farmers in the village.He had no chance of approaching the village at all.He was thirsty and hungry, and there were still dead bodies floating on the water in the pond, so he plunged in without thinking about it to drink a sip of water.But his body was so heavy that he almost lost consciousness as soon as he lay down.Fortunately, the moment his head was completely stuffed, a pair of hands grabbed him firmly.

Zhu Yanren was woken up by the knock on the door, Xiao Zhao was like a frightened bird, "flapped up" and sat up, looked at the door, Zhu Yanren rubbed his face, got out of bed, and opened the door: "Brigade Commander Gao, what's wrong with you?" Already here?"

"Yes!" He was very excited and opened his arms to hug Zhu Yanren.Zhu Yanren endured the nausea in his heart, and put both hands on his arms as a salute.But he was pulled and fell into his arms.He hugged Zhu Yanren and shook twice: "Today we are going to suppress... huh? That...that" He only regarded them as playthings, so he couldn't remember their names, so he had to let go of Zhu Yanren, and asked : "Where's your big brother?"

"Yes, where is Ji Yun?" Xiao Zhao also flung the quilt, and asked Zhu Yanren tremblingly, "Where is Ji Yun?"

"I don't know," Zhu Yanren was held in his arms, lowered his eyes, looked at his toes and lied to him: "Maybe he's hungry, go find something to eat."

Gao Xieyang let go, and Ren Zhuyanren took two steps back.He took off the gloves on his hands little by little, imitating the tone of a child, and said aggrievedly: "Run away?" With a howl from Zhao, he took a step back and pointed at Zhu Yanren in desperation: "Did you help him run?"

Zhu Yanren's face immediately swelled up, he seemed to have discovered something interesting, walked up in two steps, raised his hand, and slapped him hard from the other half of his face. There was a strange sound of "pa", which made Xiao Zhao tremble violently. Zhu Yanren was beaten back several steps, fell down, and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground, his voice was indistinct: "madman!"

Gao Xieyang rubbed his hands happily, admiring Zhu Yanren's swollen cheeks, and asked him, "When did you tell me he ran away?"

"Last night, you sent someone to chase after him, maybe you can still catch up." He put his hand down, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Gao Xieyang strode out, howled a few times, ordered a few people to look for it, and strode back: "You are not lying to me, are you? If my soldiers go out and they come to beat me, I will be slaughtered." .”

"I didn't lie to you." Zhu Yanren's voice was humming as if he had been beaten. He drank a bowl of water from the table to get rid of the fishy smell in his mouth, but Gao Xieyang pressed it down and twisted his hands. The face, aggrieved, has a strange pleasure: "Don't lie to me, if I can't find him, I will strip you and kill my soldiers. They hit hard, and you will be in pain for a long time .”

Zhu Yanren because
