Master of Pretenders

?Mingjing panicked, and after asking Dr. Su to see him, he stayed by the bedside to watch him take medicine and infusions.Minglou lay on the bed and gritted his teeth. When this kid came back, he would never be spared.

For Ah Cheng, he still doesn't know that it was his elder brother who rescued him from prison.The first thing he faced was a deep inspection for violating discipline.At the branch meeting, Ah Cheng and Hui Qiu made a deep self-criticism, and the branch members also discussed and criticized their problems, and then the leader announced the handling opinion, "Hui Qiu was notified and criticized, and transferred to other groups to work. Because Ah Cheng has a criminal record, it is easy to expose that he is no longer suitable to stay in Peiping, and he is required to evacuate quickly and return to Shanghai, waiting for notice."

Not to mention that the eldest brother and sister knew what would happen to him if he went to prison, and returned to Shanghai before he got his diploma, how could this make him enter the house.Ah Cheng truthfully reported his difficulties to the leader, but the leader didn't take it seriously, "Your elder brother already knows about it. Let's discuss the rest with him. The ticket has already been bought, and you must transfer immediately."

After the meeting, Ah Cheng and Hui Qiu walked side by side. The surface of the Shichahai lake was frozen, and both of them were flushed from the cold.Ah Cheng suddenly held Hui Qiu's hand and asked her, "Is it cold?" Hui Qiu nodded.Ah Cheng called a rickshaw and told the driver, "Go to Donglaishun"

Soon the two were gathered around the steaming hot pot, and the skin of the charcoal grill was itchy.No one spoke, they all lowered their heads and ate their own things.Hui Qiu suddenly asked, "Will we meet again?" Ah Cheng smiled, "Of course. I will come to Peiping to find you after victory. Let's also eat boiled mutton." Hui Qiu said with satisfaction, "Yes, victory We will meet again." Then he pursed his lips, "Tell your elder brother, I am not a disrespectful girl." Ah Cheng asked, "Who said you were disrespectful?" Hui Qiu complained to him, "It's all because of you. Your family members Seeing that you go to the movies and plays with me every day when you don’t study, and you still buy silk to make a cheongsam, and you still say nonsense, you must think that I am not a good girl.”

Ah Cheng solemnly agreed, "I told them, you are the best girl I've ever seen." That's the end of the topic, and no one expressed their feelings.They all know that the struggle is too cruel and the road is too long, and no one can make promises to each other. They can only wait for the day of victory.On that day, no matter what it is like, they will be satisfied if they can see each other.

Ah Cheng called his family and said that Peiping was not safe and the school was on strike, and he was going to come back.Mingjing was naturally overjoyed, and Minglou said on the phone, "You really have the guts to come back." After hearing this, Ah Cheng's legs went limp, but he had to bite the bullet and go back.

When he got home, Minglou couldn't get angry immediately because he had to hide it from Mingjing and Mingtai.I have to accompany the smiling face to work on the family reunion dinner with my eldest sister.

Mingtai asked excitedly, "Brother Ah Cheng, all the students in Peiping have gone to Beijing, have you gone too?"Ming Jing said, "Oh, Ah Cheng, you are getting more and more courageous. It is very dangerous to go to the streets. I heard that many students were injured and some were arrested. Are you okay?" Ah Cheng squeezed out a smiling face "Sister, don't you see that I'm here? I'm fine, but I was soaked by the faucet that day." The eldest sister continued to babble, "These policemen are really nothing. It's so cold in Beiping. They use high-pressure water cannons to deal with students! This has nothing to do with shooting." What a difference!" Minglou said coldly, "It's a big difference." The elder sister said, "Ah-Cheng came back with great difficulty, what are you doing with a black face?" Minglou swallowed, and said, "Peking is so chaotic, how dare you Going to the streets to mess around! I don’t know how to call home, do you know how worried the elder sister is?” Ah Cheng put down his chopsticks and stood up.The eldest sister said, "Okay, okay, it's good when I come back, I can't finish a meal well, let's talk after the meal." Minglou snorted, "I want to teach him after the meal first." After all, Mingjing couldn't bear it. "People have come back safely, and the young students who haven't touched their blood are all as old-fashioned as you. Didn't you go to the streets to support the Northern Expedition back then." Mingtai also muttered, "Is it wrong to resist Japan and save the country?" Minglou Glaring at him, "What do you know? If you dare to go out and mess around in the street, I don't think I'll take your skin off." Mingtai looked at the elder sister aggrievedly and asked, "When will the elder brother return to France? I am worried every day when he is at home." "The eldest sister smiled, and poked him on the head, "Okay, let's throw him back to France quickly, so as to save our Mingtai from looking at him badly."

After barely eating dinner, Minglou waited for Ah Cheng to "go to the study!" Gotta take care of it.So they didn't stop them from going to the study room, and only gave them this one sentence.

The door of the study was closed, and Ah Cheng stood upright in front of the eldest brother.Minglou didn't speak, just looked at him silently.In the past, Ah Cheng must have knelt down when he entered the study.Both of them remained silent for a while, and Minglou said, "Why, should I ask you, or you should explain yourself." Ah Cheng bit his lip, "Brother, I was wrong." Minglou said, "Nonsense, where are you wrong?" Are you?" Ah Cheng was unusually calm, "Ah Cheng lied to elder brother and elder sister, causing elder brother to worry." Minglou stood up in a hurry, "That's all? You can really avoid the important and ignore the minor! Are you deceiving me and the elder sister? Are you participating behind our backs? □! Did it cause us to worry? You ran to do such a dangerous thing. If you lost your life, how could you be worried? You even used bitter tricks, and you are really capable. Last time The belt is pulled too lightly, isn’t it? Then let you remember it again. Kneel down and bring the belt.” Ah Cheng knelt down, but he still refused to take off the belt.Minglou's eyes widened!You are really brave.As he spoke, he was about to untie his belt, but Ah Cheng grabbed his hand.Minglou was frightened and angry, his chest heaved violently.Ah Cheng stood up, Fu Minglou sat down on the sofa, knelt down in front of him again, and said word by word, "Brother, I know you are angry, but listen to me. I know you have your own ideals and ideals." Ambitious, so you joined the Blue Shirts Society, hoping to resist Japan and save the country. I was brought up by you, so I also have such ideals. Although we have chosen different paths, our goals are the same. I joined □□ because of them I understand the hardworking people better, and I am willing to seek happiness for more people. As for the bitter plan I set up later, it was indeed because of time constraints, or because I hoped too much to be a comrade in the trenches with you, and I was in a hurry. As for participation, brother, it’s not participation, it’s organization and leadership. Without organization and scale, more people cannot be mobilized. I admit that this is dangerous, and I have accepted criticism and punishment from the organization. But brother, what Isn’t struggle dangerous? We escaped today’s danger precisely by exposing ourselves and women and children like our elder sister and Mingtai to the enemy’s guns. They are our close relatives, can’t they become our own dangers? reason?"

He paused for a moment, took a breath, but lowered his head and took off his belt, and raised his hands in front of his eldest brother, "Brother, Ah Cheng lied, deceived you and eldest sister, and made you worry. This is my fault, I admit it. How much you should fight, I will never dare to hide. But it is not wrong for me to pursue my belief and participate in the struggle. While sighing, "I'm tired. If you want to rest, you should go to bed too."

After speaking, he went to the bedroom.Ah Cheng didn't move at the back, kneeling quietly in the study alone. ?
