Chapter 51 Chapter 50

Ye Yuhan was very dizzy, a little short of breath, and sweating profusely.She took out a mint tablet and wiped it on her forehead a few times. Just as she leaned her upper body on the examination table, she heard someone push the door open.This person is wearing leather shoes, and his steps are powerful, making a loud sound when he steps on the floor, and he has a sense of rhythm.Even the chair creaked when I sat down across the consultation table... "Could this be a patient?" Ye Yuhan gasped for thought, "It looks like a gladiator." Not long after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Ye Yuhan returned to Peiping from Kunming in October 1945 to participate in the restoration work of "Xiehe". A science foundation in the United States hired to build a laboratory.After working for more than half a year, I became a doctor in Tongren Hospital.The weather has started to turn hot, and people in hot weather are always more likely to feel tired, not to mention Ye Yuhan's body is thin and weak.She saw a lot of outpatients this afternoon, and she felt very tired, as if she was sick too. Fortunately, it was almost time to get off work, and no one came to the doctor for more than ten minutes, which was very rare.But just as I was about to lie down on the table for a while, someone came again...

Ye Yuhan quickly opened her eyes and straightened her upper body.At the same time, she saw that although the figure of the visitor was not tall, he was very strong, with dark skin, a broad face, and two piercing eyes embedded under thick eyebrows. He was about forty years old.This man was wearing a military cap and a straight military uniform, with a three-pointed star emblem protruding from the center of the two golden collar patches—hey, he was still a general!He was not accompanied by anyone, and he did not complain about his illness. After sitting down, he sat still and stared at Ye Yuhan, as if probing, but also as if looking at him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth...

The female doctor thought this man was a bit weird.She avoided the other party's burning gaze and asked, "What's wrong?" "I'm sorry, doctor, I'm not here to see a doctor." "If you don't see a doctor, what are you doing here?" "Come find someone." "Who are you looking for?" "Find a benefactor." "What do you mean?" Ye Yuhan leaned back, frowned and cast a cold glance, "Benefactor, who is your benefactor?" "My benefactor is named Ye Yuhan." The female doctor opened her eyes wide, at a loss.

"Don't you recognize me, Yuhan?" The officer still looked directly at the female doctor. "you you……" "I'm Lu Ning!" the officer said, stood up unhurriedly, stood at attention with a snap, and raised his right hand to the brim of his hat. "What, Lu, Lu Ning?" The female doctor seemed not to believe her ears and eyes.She got up and walked around the consultation table, narrowed her eyes slightly, and shouted repeatedly, "Ah, you are really Lu Ning!" "Yuhan, Yuhan!" The officer's eyes glistened with tears, "It's been seventeen years, and I finally found you, and I have a chance to thank you face to face."

"Look what you said, Lu Ning." "Did I say something wrong?" Lu Ning used his two powerful big hands to hold the other's bony soft hands tightly. "That time you were able to get out of danger safely is the greatest good thing." The female doctor was very emotional, "Indeed, for more than ten years, I often think of you and miss you. The bones are crushed!" Yes, seventeen years! It was the day just after the summer vacation in 1929. Brother Keith came to the medical school and asked Ye Yuhan to visit Professor Su Fengqi who had just arrived at Qi University.Ye Yuhan walked straight to Xinghua Village. She knew that the old man lived in that small building every time he came, which was next to Principal Chalude's bedroom.In the garden of Xinghua Village, on a narrow gravel road, I ran into Bu Luomi who was leading an officer and a police officer.These three people walked hurriedly, with nervous expressions and chattering, and overtook her.Bu Luomi didn't even have the time to say hello to Ye Yuhan.The female student seemed to hear the name "Lu Ning" from the chatter.Qida is an Anglo-American church property, with strict management, and the Chinese military and police have never been seen on the campus.Therefore, Ye Yuhan found it strange that the matter involving "Lu Ning" made her especially uneasy.She and Lu Ning are classmates in the medical school, and they have little contact with Lu Ning, but they have a good impression; she has also heard the so-called "red students" and "communist suspicions", but she doesn't know and doesn't want to know how true these claims are sex.She just instinctively didn't want Lu Ning to be in danger, and she was even more afraid that Lu Ning would be killed.But in Shandong and Jinan, whether it is Zhang Zongchang in the past or Han Fuju today, they all shoot and kill the Communist Party.And throughout China in the 1920s, too many young students and Communists were arrested and killed!What crime are they guilty of?In Ye Yuhan's view, their sin is patriotism, worrying about the country and the people, and hating the government's treason and corruption...

Ye Yuhan followed.She is too familiar with Xinghua Village.Bu Luomi led two soldiers and policemen into the main entrance of the small building, and she slipped in through a side door.She listened and followed the sound to find a room next to them; there was a wooden door between the two rooms, and above the door was a semicircle inlaid with stained glass.She finally heard clearly: the military police were going to enter the campus to arrest Lu Ning, but Chalude flatly refused.The principal did not approve of any "disturbing" scenes on campus.He only agreed to get Lu Ning out of the school "quietly", and he had to be taken to a place quite far away from the school, to "pure Chinese territory", and he couldn't control what happened there. - Pastor Bromi Leading two military officers and police officers is dedicated to discussing this troublesome matter.According to the tone of the military police, the outside of the school has been surrounded on three sides, and Lu Ning can't escape...

Ye Yuhan was taken aback and hurriedly left Xinghua Village.Fortunately, I finally found Lu Ning in the library. "Surrounded on three sides?" Lu Ning was very nervous when he heard that, "Where is the other side that is not surrounded?" "Sister-in-law's place." The female student simply replied, "Quick, follow me." "Sister-in-law's residence" is a strange word written on the gate of a female dormitory at Qilu University.Several medical students live here.Since it is the "sister-in-law's residence", Lu Ning, like most men, has never been here; probably because it is the "sister-in-law's residence", the wall here is very high, and the slope outside the wall is full of weeds, weeds, trees and shrubs...

The walls are too high.Ye Yuhan found two stools and stacked them up, and Lu Ning was able to climb up the wall and flip out.Ye Yuhan heard a plop.Then I started to run, and the sound of footsteps and the rustling of grass and trees became farther and farther away... "Lu Ning," the female doctor asked, "That time, shortly after you climbed over the wall, there was a lot of gunshots. What happened?" "They still found me..." "Really?" The female doctor became nervous, as if she had returned to the past. "Thanks to the fact that I dug out from the 'sister-in-law's residence' and bought time." Lu Ning took a breath, as if he had returned to the past: "After I ran for two or three miles, who do you think I met first? Hey , Su Guanlan!"

Ye Yuhan looked at Lu Ning without speaking. "Oh, Yuhan," Lu Ning suddenly remembered something.He paused and asked, "He, Su Guanlan, how is he doing now?" "During the Anti-Japanese War, he seemed to be in Sichuan and Guizhou." Ye Yuhan was calm, "After the victory, he went to Nanjing. I heard that he will be the principal of some school." "That means, he is still alive!" Lu Ning seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "'As if', 'I heard'—why do you speak like this?" "Just say what happened after you met him while running away?"

"He changed clothes with me, gave me a sum of money back, and then ran in another direction, leading the pursuers away." The female doctor took a deep breath, looked at Lu Ning, and pointed to his straight military uniform: "What's going on here?" Lu Ning lowered his head, looked at his whole body, and smiled slightly: "I came to Beiping to participate in the work of the Military Adjustment Department, and my public identity is the Eighth Route Army Major General Consultant." "That is to say," Ye Yuhan smiled, "You, the Communist Party, were arrested back then, and it was not wrong."

"Yes, that's right." "Military Adjustment Department, isn't it in Xiehe?" "Yes, otherwise how could I find out about you." The day after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese seized Concord.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was very difficult to resume the Xiehe school, and the large and magnificent school buildings were also used for other purposes.The Americans "mediated" in the middle, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party held negotiations. The "three-person group" composed of Zhang Zhizhong, Zhou Enlai, and Marshall set up the "Military Coordination Office Executive Department" composed of Zheng Jiemin, Ye Jianying, and Robertson. The office was located in Xiehe . "It's off work, let's go." Ye Yuhan looked at his watch and stood up. "I'll treat you to dinner." Lu Ning also got up. "OK." "Also, Yuhan, can I visit your residence?" "Yes." Ye Yuhan gestured, "You go first, I'll change clothes, wash my hands, and explain to them." After a while, the two walked out of the hospital side by side.A brand new military jeep was parked not far away; there was a huge red five-pointed star on the front of the car, which showed the military rank of the owner.Sitting in the driver's seat was a young man wearing a sergeant's collar.Lu Ning pointed there and said, "Here, my car was sent by the Kuomintang. Of course the driver was also sent by them, a spy." The female doctor glanced at it: "Let the driver go back. It's not far away, let's go for a walk." There are two Xiehe dormitories, one in Beiji Pavilion and the other on Foreign Ministry Street.Before the war, Ye Yuhan lived on Foreign Ministry Street when he was working in Xiehe, and he still lives there when he returns to Beiping this time. It is indeed not far to walk from Tongren Hospital.There are some villas in the courtyard, and a three-story building. The original brown bricks have turned black, and the walls are covered with green vines.The female doctor lived in a small room on the second floor, which consisted of a living room of 160 to 70 square feet, a living room of 50 to 60 square feet, a small kitchen and a small bathroom.It can be seen that this was originally a dormitory for single faculty members. Lu Ning paced up and down, looking around: a small round table, two armchairs, a bedside table, a desk, a single wire bed piled with clean bedding and pillows, and one can be seen through the glass door of a bookcase It's full of books... The frame on the wall caught Lu Ning's attention: embedded inside was a frontal portrait of Ye Yuhan, a half-length photo of Ye Yuhan in a white coat, and two photos of laboratory work in a white coat; scene.There is also a picture of an elderly man with white beard and hair, wearing a silk bow tie and wearing a crisp black tuxedo - although he is old, he does not appear to be kind; , with a serious and indifferent face, with an upturned western-style beard, and staring at people like a torch... "Who is this old man?" Lu Ning asked, "Your father?" "I call him Dad." Ye Yuhan put two cups of hot tea on the small round table. Lu Ning didn't react for a while, and looked at Ye Yuhan.So the female doctor added: "His name is Su Fengqi." "Oh!" Lu Ning suddenly realized.He thought for a while: "Where is the old man now?" "Back to Nanjing." Lu Ning finally made a judgment: Ye Yuhan neither married Su Guanlan nor married any other man.He frowned slightly: "Yuhan, it's been seventeen years, isn't it still your 'sister-in-law's place' here?" "What's wrong with that?" The female doctor smiled lightly. "Of course not!" "Tell me about you, Lu Ning." Ye Yuhan avoided the topic. "Me? Yuhan, let's go to dinner and talk while eating." When the two walked out of the Foreign Ministry Street, it was already late and electric lights were turned on everywhere.The two found a private seat in Dongsi's restaurant.Lu Ning opened the menu, looked at it and said, "Let me tell you about myself. What are you talking about, I'm married." "What about her?" "She's in Yan'an." "what name?" "Liu Rumei." "Good name." "A good name and a better person!" Lu Ning cheered up, grinning and said, "But I call her by her nickname at home: Luo." A Luo used to work as a nurse in a small rural church hospital not far from Shanghai, and his adoptive father was the director and doctor of that small hospital.The "January 28th" war broke out at the beginning of 21. The old director led a total of five doctors and nurses in the hospital to participate in the battlefield rescue and support the 19th Route Army. As a result, four of the five died, and the small hospital was also destroyed by the Japanese. The Marines blew up.Only Ah Luo survived. After the war, he went to Fujian with the 19th Route Army. Later, after experiencing countless vicissitudes, he finally survived and worked as an army nurse.In August of the 26th year, he participated in the Songhu Anti-Japanese War with the Ministry and retreated to the mainland; he was injured in the Japanese air raid and was left in the homes of ordinary people.It happened to be the New Fourth Army's activity area. After recovering from her injury, she joined the New Fourth Army and still worked as a nurse.Later, he was sent to Yan'an to study, and stayed in an Eighth Route Army hospital after graduation... "When did you get married?" Ye Yuhan asked. "May 1, Thirty Years." "Oh, you were thirty-five then." "Yeah, I'm four years older than you." Lu Ning had a good memory, "According to this, you should be thirty-six years old now." Ye Yuhan remained silent. "I'm sorry, Yuhan." Lu Ning consciously made a slip of the tongue. "It's nothing. You just told an ordinary fact, Lu Ning." The female doctor shook her head, "I'm not that fragile, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't live today." "I understand that." "In addition," Ye Yuhan continued, "from ancient times to the present, women and men who have been single for a lifetime are not uncommon." "I don't want this kind of fate to be shared with you." Lu Ning suddenly asked, "Oh, how is Su Guanlan?" "Why do you keep talking about him?" "He used to be my good friend, and he also saved me." Lu Ning paused, "However, if you really don't want to mention him, we don't need to talk about it." The food and wine are all served, and the heat is steaming.Lu Ning filled two glasses of red wine and said, "clink glasses! Yuhan, let's meet again after a long absence." Ye Yuhan drank it all in one gulp, her pale face flushed immediately, and she coughed lightly. "Oh, Yuhan, I think of something. I think maybe you should know about it." Lu Ning took a deep look at the female doctor, "But, sorry, I still have to talk about Su Guanlan—" Ye Yuhan silent. "As I said just now, Ah Luo worked as a nurse in a small hospital near Shanghai..." Ye Yuhan listened attentively. Once, Ah Luo told her husband that she had met a college student named Su Guanlan when she was in the small doctor's office.Then, of course, Lu Ning knew about Su Guanlan's encounter with a girl named Ding Jieqiong at Songju Hospital on the Huangpu River... "Obviously," Lu Ning said, "that was the year Su Guanlan came back from Shanghai and rescued me." Ye Yuhan remained silent, her face turned pale. "I know Su Guanlan." Lu Ning went on to say, "He is not an apprentice, and it is not easy for him to be interested in girls, even very beautiful girls. He just left Songju Hospital and never returned. A bag of clothes and some money, even the address is not real. Perhaps in the mind of the girl, it has become a riddle that can never be solved." "It's really a mystery..." Ye Yuhan's voice was very soft, as if talking to herself. "Yuhan," Lu Ning sensed something was wrong, and quickly changed the subject, "You were a top-notch doctor in Qi University, and you must be very handy as a doctor now." "I prefer the laboratory." Ye Yuhan shook her head, "I have been planning to build a laboratory for more than half a year since I returned to Beiping—coincidentally, I just ran into you when I came back to see the outpatient clinic." "Laboratory," Lu Ning asked casually, "what kind of laboratory?" After World War II, Americans and American goods poured into China in large numbers.A "SLR Foundation" also landed in Beiping first, enthusiastically funding Yanjing, Tsinghua, Xiehe, Huiwen and other universities and hospitals that were originally American assets or had close ties with the United States; In the name of schools and hospitals funded by it, it buys or leases land and real estate, and builds research institutes and laboratories.Ye Yuhan was brought into the attention of this foundation, and asked her to preside over the preparation of a laboratory... "SLR Foundation?" Lu Ning took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "Lu Ning, do you smoke?" "Seldom smoke," Lu Ning lit the cigarette, took two deep breaths, "unless there is something on his mind." "You have something on your mind right now?" "yes." "What's on your mind?" Lu Ning exhaled a puff of smoke and pondered: "Yuhan, where is this laboratory?" "Why are you asking this?" "Call me anytime if you have anything to do." Lu Ning took out a pen and wrote a piece of paper, "Here, here are the two phone numbers of my office and my residence."
