Begonia without fragrance

Xie Juntang's leisurely attitude was so obvious that even Uncle Ye couldn't stand it anymore, so Uncle Ye asked Xie Juntang if he wanted to go to He Street for a walk, because it was more lively there.

Xie Juntang thought about it for a while and felt that watching the Yangtze River was boring, so he asked Uncle Ye if there was any lively place to play around, Uncle Ye replied lightly that he didn't know, so he went to work on his own, and Xie Juntang didn't know what he said that offended him , he was too lazy to ask more questions, so he went out by himself.

He circled the road around him without going far, and the road signs along the way were messy, because it used to be the Russian Concession, although it has been taken back for some years and was occupied by Japan, there are still many foreigners living here, and of course there are some wealthy ones. Chinese, but they don't seem to be interested in such a face like Xie Juntang. Xie Juntang stopped and stopped all the way, and went to the downtown in a daze. The national government army's control here is not very strict, probably because the location is relatively good. There is also more traffic than elsewhere.

Xie Juntang saw people in all kinds of costumes passing by on the bustling street. The opium halls, casinos and theaters on the side of the road were bustling and bustling. .

Xie Juntang walked past several big banks with towering doors, and Jincheng Bank could be seen in the distance, but ordinary people were strictly forbidden to approach it. Xie Juntang saw military vehicles going there, and Xie Juntang thought that it was still a Japanese military base. Fortunately, I went back home the way I came from.

He had just walked out from the brightly lit crowd, and there was still some heat on the deserted road. Hankou was extremely hot. Xie Juntang used his hand as a fan to blow the wind, and he was cursing Hankou in his heart that the weather is very dry this time, and the sky is howling. A plane passed by and exploded not far in front of him. With a bang, Xie Juntang's house [-] meters away was razed to the ground, and shouts like an explosion pierced the silent night.

People living in the houses suddenly poured out from all around, and everyone fled in all directions. Xie Juntang was pushed to flee in the opposite direction from where he came.

People are panicked, death is very close to them, it seems that as long as they stop, there will be no bones left in an instant, the turmoil makes people lose their minds, and many people are pushed down and trampled. Looking around, there is no end. At this time, no one dares to hide at home, and everyone is running for their lives. Xie Juntang squeezed out at the entrance of an alley. Everything was so chaotic that there was no time for him to think. He was already pushed away. When he arrived at an unknown place, he couldn't tell the direction of east, west, north, south, and north at all. Xie Juntang leaned his back against the wall of the alley, his heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

Suddenly, successive gunshots rang out, like strafing fire. The gunfire brightened the night. When the staggered artillery fire in the sky made people frightened, Xie Juntang squatted down and looked out from the alley. Several tanks came from behind. Then, the Japanese troops strafed forward in unison, and some people were shouting: "Don't run, squat down, and everyone who runs will be shot on the spot!"

Xie Juntang immediately started running from the other end of the alley, and the voice of "There is someone over there! Hurry up!" came from behind him. He just ran to the corner when gunshots came from behind him, and there was a series of "bang bang bang" More than a dozen guns chased Xie Juntang and ran, and Xie Juntang felt more and more strenuous as he ran, and felt a sense of exertion that he wished he could vomit blood. In this moment of chaos and force to suppress the chaos, everyone only knew that life was the most important thing. Xie Juntang thought about himself If he gave his life here, it would be hell.

When Xie Juntang ran through a remote alley, a person jumped out from the side of the road and pulled him into a house. The door was quickly closed, and the sound of "tapping" chasing outside the house passed. Xie Juntang did not dare to move in the dark environment. People who are afraid of covering their mouths behind them are dangerous people.

Every minute that time passed, Xie Juntang felt his palms were sweating. The person who dragged Xie Juntang into the house dragged him into a room. He turned on the light. Xie Juntang felt a little dazzling, so he quickly covered his eyes. Panting for breath, he said with a smile, "It's a fate, you can dodge so many guns chasing you."

Xie Juntang felt that this person's voice was very familiar, he quickly took off his hand covering his eyes, looked at the man dressed as a wealthy businessman in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "You are..."

"Aren't you Xie Juntang? Why did you come to Hankou? It's been a long time since Suiyuan left." Yang Jinghua looked at Xie Juntang with a smile and said, "You are really lucky. I didn't recognize you just now."

Xie Juntang nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would be bombed when I went out, and I would be shot by the Japanese as a riot. If you hadn't held the handle just now, I would have been shot into a hornet's nest."

"Hahahaha, this is really your luck. When I heard something was wrong outside, I saw someone running this way. You left Suiyuan in a hurry. Shang Yao and I were worried about you. You look good now. Come to Hankou to make a fortune." Yang Jinghua jokingly said, although only Suiyuan met in a hurry, seeing Yang Jinghua and Xie Juntang felt like seeing a long-lost old friend, and he felt very comfortable.

He smiled a little embarrassedly, and mocked himself: "He and his family moved to Hankou, and he wanted to come out to let the wind go when he was not at home, but it almost turned into a hornet's nest. It seems that Hankou is a place that doesn't fit me. By the way, Why did you come to Hankou? How about Shang Yao’s leg injury? Shouldn’t you be stationed in Baotou?”

"There is a temporary task in the party, and I came to Hankou to respond. In the last line, he just recovered from his leg injury, and he was transferred back to Chongqing as soon as his leg was injured. Now he has been transferred from Chongqing to the northwest. It is estimated that he is still in the trenches."

"The Kuomintang shouldn't go to the army to be dispatched. Why do you run away casually." Xie Juntang was puzzled: "Besides, Hankou is so chaotic recently, and the Japanese are inhumane in burning, killing, and looting."

"Brother Xie, I am from a different party than Shangyao. I am engaged in an underground revolution. This time I came to Hankou because of the chaos here. The Japanese Fujiwara family settled in Hankou. Their brutality has been well-known in Guangzhou as early as at home and abroad. The organization suspects that they came to Hankou There are other purposes, I'm afraid they will harm people again." Yang Jinghua said sadly: "It's a pity that the Fujiwara family strictly guards the entry and exit, and no problem has been found out after half a month."

"Did you come to Hankou specially to deal with Takeshi Fujiwara?" Xie Juntang asked, "Is there no one else but you? It's very dangerous here."

"There are others, but I'm not familiar with them. They're all young people, and they're all from Guangzhou. People in the organization say they're activists, and they specially applied to come to Hankou." Yang Jinghua pulled the table apologetically after finishing speaking. Open, said: "Sit down, I haven't brought you tea after coming for so long."

Xie Juntang shook his head quickly, and said politely: "No, I'm going back soon, and my family will worry if I go back late."

Yang Jinghua poured him a glass of water quickly, and said with a smile: "Replenish your energy, and you will have strength when you go home. When you go out later, don't run. If you run, the Japanese will catch you and shoot you."

"Okay, I see." Xie Juntang nodded and took a sip of tea. He looked around the house and asked, "Is this the house you live in temporarily? Will you move out at any time?"

Yang Jinghua shook his head and said, "This is not a permanent place to live, but it's close to the Japanese Concession, so it's easy to observe Takeshi Fujiwara here temporarily."

"That's right, you are so dangerous, so be careful at all times." Xie Juntang said sincerely: "If you need any help from me, just ask. I am currently living in Yu Shiqiu's house in the Russian Concession."

Just as Xie Juntang finished speaking, there was the sound of planes flying outside. Yang Jinghua nodded at him and said with a smile, "Okay, then you have to be careful."

When Yang Jinghua sent Xie Juntang out, Xie Juntang was about to turn around and leave when Yang Jinghua stopped him suddenly and asked, "Is Yu Shiqiu from Guangzhou?"

Xie Juntang stopped and turned around, and replied, "Yes."

"He is what you said, a member of the family? But he is... a traitor..." Yang Jinghua seemed a little hard to open his mouth, but he couldn't help but ask.

"I know, I knew it well before I was with him, but this is my own choice." Xie Juntang smiled lightly: "I know that revolutionaries like you will not agree with my approach, but I will and He's with you and you won't leave him."

After finishing speaking, Xie Juntang lowered his head slightly, turned to him with a polite smile, and turned away. Yang Jinghua looked at his stubborn back and felt a little complicated in his heart. But he will still be willing to give, what a courageous thing this is.

Xie Juntang couldn't recognize his direction as he was walking on the road. He thought that he might have lost his way. It was already very late. There was still thick smoke in the place where the shelling was just now. concrete.

The more he walked here, the colder Xie Juntang felt, and it was difficult for him to move.

"Juntang!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the dark shadows in the distance, Xie Juntang stopped, and saw Yu Shiqiu running towards this side from a distance, his face looked a little red under the light of the fire , Xie Juntang suddenly had the illusion of the rest of his life. Yu Shiqiu ran up to him panting and touched his face and body. He said over and over again: "Where are you going! Do you know how long I have been looking for you?" Are you going to die of me, I can't see you anywhere, I almost thought you were shot."

After all, Yu Shiqiu hugged Xie Juntang tightly, and held Xie Juntang's clothes tightly, and said: "I told you to go out and take Zhao Quan with you, but you put my words aside in a blink of an eye. Today, there are bombings and wars outside. Martial law, what should you do if something happens to you, you are so worrying, this is the first day in Hankou, do you want me to lock you at home to be at ease."

Xie Juntang listened to Yu Shiqiu's anxious words, touched the back of his neck with his hand, kissed his earlobe, and said with a smile: "I almost thought I would never see you again, but fortunately I didn't lose my life. I promise you, I will not Run away, don't be sad."

Xie Juntang held Yu Shiqiu's face, looked at his pale face, and felt mixed emotions in his heart. Suddenly Yu Shiqiu seemed to be crouching down, Xie Juntang anxiously supported him, Yu Shiqiu held Xie Juntang's hand tightly, Xie Juntang half hugged him Yu Shiqiu let him lean on him, and Yu Shiqiu murmured: "Juntang...Juntang, I feel so sad."

Xie Juntang suddenly remembered that Yu Shiqiu had some heart palpitations in the past. Hospital, see a doctor for you, don't worry, I'm fine."

Yu Shiqiu slowly passed out in Xie Juntang's arms. Xie Juntang ran and shouted: "Is there anyone here!! Someone fainted here, do you know where there is a hospital!!"

Xie Juntang held Yu Shiqiu in his arms and shouted and searched in the empty streets, but he couldn't find anyone anywhere. The turmoil tonight had scared people out of the house, and the martial law soldiers were probably still busy cleaning up the bandits. People will come out and wander around.

Xie Juntang leaned wearily against a tree, carefully put Yu Shiqiu down, and hugged him halfway.

He grabbed Yu Shiqiu's hand and said, "You'll be fine, our life has just begun, you can't leave me alone, Shiqiu."

After all, Xie Juntang picked up Yu Shiqiu again, and before he walked forward, a car drove up beside him, and Takeshi Fujiwara's face appeared in the car window. He looked at the person in Xie Juntang's arms, and quickly asked the people around him to get out of the car to help Xie Juntang.

Xie Juntang never felt that this Raksha came so timely that he did not completely collapse in despair, and when Fujiwara Takeshi accepted Yu Shiqiu, Xie Juntang found that his body and hands were already covered with sweat, Hankou Xiamo The hot and crazy night of the night made people uneasy, and just now he finally realized that it is the most difficult and painful thing for a person to support his own inner world.
