Battle in Changsha in the Qingming Festival

The sound overwhelms the other two which are several times larger than it, leaving an indelible mark in someone's heart.

When Gu Qingming heard her sobbing, his heart ached, he stopped all his movements, the man had already been beaten to death by him, and he was lying in the corner of the wall like a rag doll, twitching and vomiting blood.

He walked up to Sheng Qili, stretched out his hand to hug him, just lifted it up and put it down, his eyes darkened, he had no position to do so.

He put his hands behind his back, lowered his voice, and coaxed her carefully, "Don't cry."

When Sheng Qili saw that Gu Qingming's face and the tip of his nose were covered with dust, he seemed to ignore it completely and only looked at her with concern.

Her heart trembled violently twice. It was enough to be cared for and loved by others when she was most helpless, at least at this moment, she no longer had to suffer alone, and no longer had to face the test of life and death alone. She had no reason Go on being weak, bowing down to fear.

Suddenly tears turned into laughter, all the dark clouds dispersed, and the bright sunshine flooded my heart.

Sheng Qili's voice was still mixed with a nasal sound, she looked at him, "Gu Qingming, thank you!"

He shook his head, "No need."

Soon Gu Qingming regained his stern face, serious and unsmiling, it seemed that his anger just now was just an illusion.

"Where are Sheng Chengzhi and Hu Xiangxiang?"

The tears on Sheng Qili's face were still wet, and there were still some drops of water on her slender eyelashes, "There are too many people, I got separated from them, and my foot was injured, so I haven't caught up with them yet."

Gu Qingming's eyes fell on her feet. The cheongsam that was so long that it was bare to the feet made him see nothing unusual. His Adam's apple twitched, "Where did you plan to go?"

They agreed to wait for the members of the Hu family at the ferry, so Sheng Chengzhi should also wait for her at the ferry once he finds out that she has separated from them.

"At the ferry."

He suddenly turned his back to her, bent his legs, bent over, "Come up, I'll carry you on my back!"

Sheng Qili was carrying the box, but did not move for a long time. Gu Qingming noticed that she was not responding, frowned slightly, stood up straight, and turned to stare at her.

"The box is heavy, you should help me go."

"How heavy can it be?" Gu Qingming's eyes were brighter than the flames in the sky, "Holding you, when will we go?"

Sheng Qili was overwhelmed by what he said, so she clenched her hands, and finally had no choice but to compromise.

"Wait a minute!" She took out a plain handkerchief from her coat pocket, "You lower your head."

Gu Qingming didn't know why, but she still chose to do it correctly. She pinched the corner of the handkerchief and raised her hand to carefully wipe off the stains on his forehead, cheeks, and tip of his nose. She had a gentle face, as if she was wiping something she loved.

The corners of his eyes moved, and he felt itchy where the handkerchief had been rubbed. Although there was a layer of handkerchief behind him, there was always a real feeling of being touched by her hand on his cheek.

Sheng Qili was not calm, the handsome facial features under her fingers made her face slightly flushed, and the beating heartbeat like a deer betrayed her seemingly calm eyes.

She lay on Gu Qingming's back full of security, as if she had found the harbor of life.

The distance between them was so close that they could hear each other's breathing, and his steady breathing penetrated Sheng Qili's eardrums and went straight to his heart.

Gu Qingming carried her on his back, and helped her carry the suitcase in his hands. His steps were not messy at all, and he only walked forward firmly one step at a time.

Sheng Qili put her hands on his shoulders, pressed her face against his back, and closed her eyes.

Just let me sink for a while!

Gu Qingming thought she was tired, so he tightened his hands and walked more steadily.

I just wish the road could be longer!

The good man is by the side.

I hope that when the war is over, you are still here, and I am still here.

I hope that when the sea of ​​people meet again, it will still be you and me.

I hope... I will know you forever.

Xiangtan trip

At the ferry, the noise of arguments was especially loud. Everyone was fighting for the boatman, and some even got into a heated argument with the boatman in order to save a dollar or two.

"You black-hearted boatman, you put your life on the line just to earn money for the coffin! God, how can you let us wives live!"

A woman was holding a child, with a five or six-year-old boy at her feet. The adults were crying, and the children were crying too, causing the people around them to frown.

The boatman was upset, waved away the noisy mother and son, and shouted in a rough voice: "It's too expensive? Don't sit on it. Anyway, there are so many people rushing to sit on my boat."

Different from those people, there were two well-dressed young couples by the ferry, and they did not know who they were waiting for. Both of them looked anxiously at the entrance, not daring to miss anyone passing by. .

They are the newly married Sheng Chengzhi and Hu Xiangxiang.

Hu Xiangxiang was afraid that he would accidentally miss Sheng Qili's figure, so he simply stood on tiptoe to look around, Sheng Chengzhi felt sorry for her, and said: "Xiangxiang, take a break, you can't stand standing on tiptoe like this all the time, don't worry, I will Look at it!"

She shook her head, but she could persist for a while longer, "Chengzhi, I'm not tired."

While speaking, a man in military uniform appeared at the ferry. The soldier carefully put down the man on his back, as if he was treating a fragile treasure, and helped him walk towards Hu Xiangxiang and the others.

With Gu Qingming supporting her, Sheng Qili felt that her feet didn't hurt so much. She searched left and right, looking for Sheng Chengzhi and Hu Xiangxiang.

"sister!"

Hu Xiangxiang had sharp eyes, stood on tiptoe, shouted and waved at the same time, she had a loud voice, Gu Qingming and Sheng Qili heard it, and helped her walk over.

Sheng Chengzhi saw Sheng Qili's embarrassed face, her feet seemed to be hurt, and her eyes were anxious, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing him blaming herself, Sheng Qili didn't tell him everything that happened, she pretended to be relaxed, "It's okay, I just fell down, thanks to Gu Qingming for sending me here."

"Thank you, Chief Gu." Sheng Chengzhi looked at the person standing against the light, and thanked him sincerely.

If he hadn't met Gu Qingming, Sheng Qili wouldn't have come so soon. If he and Hu Xiangxiang hadn't waited for someone to go out again, if they missed it, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Gu Qingming nodded, and handed the luggage to Sheng Chengzhi, and Hu Xiangxiang also hurried forward to help Sheng Qili.

"Those people are still setting the fire now, you should leave quickly by boat."

Sheng Qili put her hand on Hu Xiangxiang's shoulder, seeing that he was about to leave, she asked him aloud.

"Where are you going later?"

"Fire out!"

The fire was so big, maybe he was going to run into the fire to save people, and thinking of where the dirt on his face came from, she was really afraid that Gu Qingming would forget even himself.

"You must be careful! Don't... be so desperate."

"Okay, you should also pay attention to safety." He took another deep look at Sheng Qili, and then walked away step by step until he disappeared into the crowd.

The three of them boarded a small boat, and under the narrow canopy, a dim kerosene lamp was lit. Looking from afar, the old Changsha city had already been engulfed in a sea of ​​flames. .

Sheng Chengzhi carried his luggage ashore first, followed by Hu Xiangxiang, and Sheng Qili, who had trouble with her legs and feet, walked last.

A pair of hands appeared in front of my eyes.

"Sister, come!" Hu Xiangxiang looked at Sheng Qili, and wanted to give her a hand.

"it is good."

Sheng Qili stretched out her hand, and Hu Xiangxiang pulled her ashore with force.

The countryside of Xiangtan is peaceful and serene. People are already sleeping soundly in the arms of the pastoral water town, and perhaps they are still dreaming about the future. When they wake up, they are just saddened to hear about the situation in Changsha. Work in the fields.

In troubled times and fierce years, I only hope for a day of peace.

The three of them walked towards the Hu family's ancestral house all the way, but stopped at the intersection.Hu Xiangxiang came back several times, but she was still young at that time, but now it has changed a lot, and it is dark, and she is not sure which way to go.

"Xiangxiang, don't worry, think slowly." Seeing Hu Xiangxiang scratching his ears and head, Sheng Qili looked distressed and her voice was as slow as water.

Just as Hu Xiangxiang was struggling, a person came in front of him.

"Brother Xiaoqiu!" Hu Xiangxiang's eyes were flooded, and the dimples on his face were deep, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

Hu Xiaoqiu followed the old man Hu's instructions, and came to the ferry to meet the Hu family members. He just picked up Hu Xiangjun and others, and then went back the same way, waiting for Hu Xiangxiang and the others.

"Miss Xiangxiang."

"How do you know we're here?"

"Grandpa told me to pick you up."

After Hu Xiaoqiu finished speaking, he looked at the siblings of the Sheng family who came together. They had met once, and he didn't know that Hu Xiangxiang and Sheng Chengzhi were married at this time, so he greeted them politely.

"Miss Sheng, Master Sheng!"

He took the suitcase from Sheng Chengzhi and walked ahead to lead the way. Seeing that the path was difficult, Sheng Chengzhi reminded him, "Xiangxiang, be careful, there are many stones on the ground."

Hu Xiangxiang responded, and walked at his usual speed nonchalantly.

Sheng Qili had some difficulty walking, and the fine stones on the path hurt her feet, which made her unable to keep up with Hu Xiangxiang's pace. She didn't make a sound to tell Hu Xiangxiang to walk slower, but gritted her teeth and tried her best to keep up.

After exchanging greetings with the Hu family who arrived first, she followed Hu Xiangjun back to the room.

Sheng Qili poured some medicinal wine on the swollen ankle, and rubbed the wound with one hand, so that the medicine could penetrate into the skin.

Hu Xiangjun and Hu Xiangxiang stood together, and they were both taken aback when they saw her actions.

"Qi Li, why don't you ask Cheng Zhi to carry you to the hospital in the township? It hurts too much if you rub the medicine like this."

She continued to pour the wine, patted and rubbed it, and the room was filled with the pungent smell of medicinal wine, "Miss Xiangjun, it's okay, it didn't hurt the bones, it will be fine after a few days of cultivation."

Hu Xiangxiang took out a floral quilt from the cabinet and spread it on the bed, "There is not enough room, only the three of us are crowded."

Sheng Qili looked at the bed
