Chapter 10 The tenth chapter, if the strong man doesn't return the song and pour out the wine, why is the old man spilling blood

But Shen Guoying was wandering in a small courtyard with no one there, feeling full of ghosts.Suddenly a black shadow came out from behind the rockery, he was so frightened that he took two steps back, thinking that a ghost really came out.Taking a closer look, it turned out that Li Yongsheng was wearing blue clothes.He first said: "As soon as I entered this door, I heard a cry. I didn't expect to meet the leader here." Shen Guoying shook her head and said: "Don't mention it, that Shen Fengxi has passed. Are you here to find me? Li Yongsheng said: "I only know that you went to Tianjin. I came to find Ms. Guan. Today a brother came back from outside the customs and said that it was our headquarters. The enemy knew about it and sent planes to bomb it for three days. The commander-in-chief of our side was also injured, so I specially sent someone to invite me and Ms. Guan to go back in the starry night. I was hesitating, I don’t know where to meet you in Tianjin? It would be great to meet you here now We are scheduled to leave by the five o'clock train, can you leave?" Shen Guoying pondered: "A person just passed by here, and I have to take care of her back." Li Yongsheng said: "As long as the governor can get the money out, She still has family members here, so is she worried that no one will take care of the aftermath?" Shen Guoying thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go. I don't care about my family, let alone a girlfriend, I'll find Ms. Guan for you You don't need to say that her father was injured when you saw her." Before she finished speaking, Xiugu jumped out from behind, grabbed Li Yongsheng's hand and said, "Tell me honestly, what happened to my father?" Li Yongsheng expected What she said had already been heard by Xiugu, and she couldn't hide it if she wanted to, so she said, "A brother from ahead of us reported that the enemy's planes went to our headquarters to bomb, and no one was hurt. It is the commander-in-chief." , and only slightly injured, but a lot of things were blown up." Xiugu said: "It doesn't matter. We will leave this afternoon. Come! Let's all go downstairs to talk."

Immediately, the three of them rushed to the corridor, and Xiugu explained the reason for leaving.Jiashu wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and said generously: "Probably everyone is looking for someone to take responsibility for what happened after Fengxi's death. It's easy. Aunt Shen is in Beiping, and I'm also in Beiping. Would you put her here? No way? Rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire, you can't stay for a moment, everyone just go." Seeing Fengxi like that, He Lina was already extremely miserable, and when she heard that Aunt Xiu was about to leave, she held her hand and said, "Eldest sister, we just met One day, we will be separated again." Xiugu said: "Life is like this, don't be dissatisfied with others, our meeting this time is a great fate, what else can I say? One day the three provinces in the east will be recovered, and you will also go out to play Come on, I will welcome you outside the pass, and the fun will be great. It’s uncomfortable to stay here, you go back.” He Lina said: “The family tree can’t go back for the time being, I’ll stay with him here, persuade him " Xiu Gu frowned, thought for a while and said: "Let's go, we can't delay any longer." Shen Guoying also said to Aunt Shen: "It's not a coincidence, but it's a coincidence, I'm leaving today I can't do my best for the last little thing; fortunately, Mr. Fan is here, of course you can trust Mr. Fan, and let Mr. Fan decide everything." Then, he walked to the door of the room and bowed to the bed. Bow, sigh, turn around and leave.Xiugu walked into the room, nodded to the bed, and said, "Big sister, goodbye. You have come to understand, and after meeting Jiashu, your wish has finally come true. In the end, Uncle Fan still..." Xiu Gu Gu's voice was choked when she said this, she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said to the bed: "I don't have time to cry for you, I must be thinking about you." Saying this, she nodded again, and went downstairs.

At this time, Shen Guoying and Li Yongsheng were standing in the yard waiting.Seeing Xiu Gu coming, Shen Guoying said, "Now it's time to board the train, and there are still three or four hours. Let's split up to take care of things. We will get to the station together at 4:30. Where is Ms. Guan waiting for me?" said Xiu Gu. "You can go to Mr. Tao Bohe's house in Santiao, Dongsi, and look for me." Shen Guoying said that she would be there, and went home immediately. When Shen Guoying arrived at home, she hurriedly sorted out the accounts, and then brought her son and daughter to the backyard to meet his elder brother and sister-in-law.Holding a small box in his hand, he put it on the table in the main room, invited his elder brother and sister-in-law out, and took out the passbook AE and f2 from the box, and asked his elder brother to look at it, then made a formal ceremony, and said to his elder brother: "My brothers and sisters-in-law are all here. Brothers have a few words to say. Brothers have never done business, they have never farmed, and they have never won lottery tickets. Their family property has exceeded hundreds of thousands. How did they get the money? One person in the world is nothing but food. Once you are full, wear warm clothes, you can earn enough to eat and drink. If you have too much money, you can’t eat gold and wear gold. Brothers think carefully, save a lot of wronged money and keep it in one person’s hands. Think about money When I think about where the money came from, I always feel uneasy when I think about the whereabouts of the money. In Taiping years, I can forget it vaguely. Now that the country is about to perish, I keep a sum of money to prepare to be a subjugated slave in the future, which is meaningless. What's more, I'm a soldier. What do soldiers do? When I don't need me, I borrow the word "soldier" to get money; 10,000 yuan, 10,000 will be left to my elder brother and sister-in-law. 10,000 will be used for my children’s education. The rest of the money will be used by my brother to buy bullets and give to the volunteers. I will follow the bullets and go out all the way. If I If we don’t come back, that’s our duty as soldiers; if we come back, it’s a fluke.” His brother was stunned, speechless.But his sister-in-law interjected, "Ah! Second Uncle, why did you take away all your belongings? There are many people in China who earn tens of millions. I haven't heard anyone say that someone will give out one hundred and eighty thousand. Why? Are you stupid?" Shen Guoying said: "We still have 20,000 yuan to live on. We used to live without 20,000 yuan, but now we have 20,000 yuan and can't live on?" His brother knew that his money was gone. Hua Hua said, "Okay, just be careful yourself."handed over to the elder brother; handed the year-old girl to the sister-in-law, and said to the two children: "I went to fight the enemy for you, and you live with the uncle and aunt. Brother, sister-in-law , brother is going." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out.Seeing his situation, his elder brother and sister-in-law were very sad.Each took a child and followed them to the gate.Without looking back, Shen Guoying got into the car and came all the way to Tao Bohe's house.

Shen Guoying stayed at home for three or four hours, when the time came, Fan Jiashu, He Lina, and Li Yongsheng would all be here, and invited him to meet in the living room.Aunt Xiu took Mrs. Fan's hand and walked out.Jiashu stood up first and said: "Today, Mr. Shen destroyed his family to relieve difficulties and went to be a volunteer army, and this Mr. Li and my sister-in-law went out to kill the enemy again. This is an extremely happy thing in life. I How can we not go away! But thinking about whether we can see each other again after this trip, it is really uncertain and worrying. Besides, sister Yi and I have a bond of life and death. It is really sad to be separated after only one day of alliance. Besides Three hours ago, we all encountered another tragic incident, and our tears were still wet. It’s been half a day since we parted from life and death, how can I eat, how can I drink! Such a behavior is really rare, how can I not hold back my tears, and act with arrogance! Liu Fu, bring the things. Please come, masters and wives."

While speaking, Tauber and his wife came and exchanged greetings with everyone.Liu Fu held a large round tray and put it on the table. Inside was a large piece of roast meat, with a sharp knife inserted into it, a large wine jug, and eight large cups.Jiashu picked up the jug and poured eight glasses of blood-like red rose wine.Bo He said: "Regardless of age, we gathered around the table and drank a toast, which is regarded as drinking the blood of the enemy." So everyone took a glass and drank it down.Only Mrs. Fan trembled while holding the cup.Shen Guoying put down the wine glass, stared at her eyes, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Tao's words are good, I'm here to eat a piece of my enemy's meat." Then she drew out her knife, cut a piece of meat, and held it to her mouth. stuffed inside.He Lina pointed to the piano next to her and said, "Let me play "Congjun Music"." Shen Guoying said: "No, the mourning army will win! Don't be happy, be sad. Ms. He's wife who can play "Yi Shui Yin" Is it?" He Lina said: "Yes." Xiugu said: "Excellent, we can all sing!" So He Lina pressed the piano, and everyone sang loudly: "The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man is gone. Come back..." Only Mrs. Fan did not sing, but looked at Xiugu with tears streaming down her eyes.Xiu Gu waved her hand and said, "Stop singing, let's go to the station." Everyone stopped singing, and Xiu Gu said goodbye to Bo He and his wife first, then shook the old lady's hand and said, "Mom! I'm going." The old lady said with a trembling voice: "Okay! Good boy, I hope you will succeed soon." Shen Guoying and Li Yongsheng also gave the old lady a military salute.Everyone didn't make a sound, and walked out of the gate together step by step.There are three cars at the gate, each of which is heading for the East Station.

When they arrived at the station, Shen Guoying jumped out of the car. When the driver saw it, he got off the car and asked Shen Guoying for safety: "Controller, I can't take you to the station." Shen Guoying took out a stack of banknotes on her body, and Named one, and said to the driver: "Xiao Xu! You and I have been separated for many years, and now we are separated. The fifty yuan is for you to go home as a Sichuan fund. I have donated this car to the Third Army as a military vehicle. , you take my wife and drive to the military headquarters." Xiao Xu said: "Yes! I will drive right away. I don't want the money. The government is going to kill the enemy, so why can't I do a little bit of work? Since this The car is donated as a military vehicle, of course the car needs to be driven, I would like to drive this car to the front line." Shen Guoying unexpectedly shook his hand and said: "Good brother! Save face for me, that's all Do it." The chauffeur only took the name and left after saluting with Shen Guoying.Bohe, his wife, Jiashu, and Lina sent Shen, Guan, and Li into the station. Xiugu turned around and said in a low voice, "There are so many eyes and ears here, so you don't have to go." The four of them heard that they were afraid of delaying their important business. I had no choice but to stand outside the iron railing of the platform, watching the figures of the three strong men, and board the train away.

He Lina knew that Jiashu was very sad and sent him home.After arriving home, Jiashu was lying on the sofa chair in the study room without saying a word.He Lina said: "I know you feel uncomfortable, but the matter has come to this point, it is useless to be sad." Jiashu said: If I had known this, it would be good if I didn't come back to China!Is it difficult to go to the country together?We can still do our thing.I have an idea, I can't publish it now, I will tell you tomorrow. "Jiashu said: "Yes, now only you can comfort me, you can understand me. " He Lina sat with the family tree until twelve o'clock in the evening before going home.He Lianzheng and his wife were chatting under the lamp, and when they saw the girl came back, they said: "The situation is not stable, and it seems like a peaceful day, and you don't come back until midnight." He Lina said: "The situation is not stable, what matters in Peiping She is still on the front line. Dad! Let me ask you a question, how much money do you have?" He Lian looked at her face and said, "What do you mean by asking? I have lost a lot in the past few years, but one One hundred and two hundred thousand." He Lina laughed and said, "How can you spend your whole life?" Mrs. He said: You are not talking stupidly, do you have to spend all your money before you die?I don't have a second child, I keep them for you. He Lina said, "How much can you leave for me?" He Lian said: "Are you crazy today? Why are you asking these children?" He Lina said, "Of course I'm interested. Can your elders leave me half a million yuan?" Touching the beard on his upper lip with his index finger, he nodded and said, "I understand. Before you get married, you want to give up your family property..." He Lina didn't wait. After he finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "Wait for me to ask again, what do you want me to study in Germany to acquire knowledge? He Lian said, "For your own sake." He Lina said: "This is not over!"I can stand on my own, what do I need property for?The money is what I want, I don't need it, let alone the family tree.Dad, if you don't do things for the country, you can't make such a big fortune.Money comes in with integrity and comes out with integrity.Now that the country is about to die, I advise you to take some money to help the country. He Lian laughed and said, "Oh!"It turns out that you persuaded me to donate. You said, how much do you want me to donate? He Lina was standing leaning against her father's chair, but at this moment she stood still, straightened her chest and said, "I want you to donate 800,000 yuan." He Lian said with a faint smile, "You are messing around." As he spoke, he took a cigar from the cigar box on the coffee table, bit the end of the cigarette and spit it into the spittoon. He got up to find matches and walked around the room.

At that moment He Lina walked behind her father, pulled his skirt again and said: I am not messing around at all.Let me tell you, I want to find ten places in Beiping, Tianjin, Tangshan, Luanzhou, Chengde, and Xifengkou to set up ten field hospitals.At least 10,000 yuan for one place, but also 100,000 yuan, and another 100,000 yuan is used as a supplementary fee, which is 200,000 yuan.He wants to set up a chemical military supplies manufacturing factory. At least 500,000 yuan is needed to start it, and 100,000 yuan is also prepared for supplementary expenses.Together, isn't it 800,000?If you take out the money, the dean and the factory director will use your name, and Jiashu and I will come out to preside over everything in person, and teach people that returning from studying abroad is not all about being an official with a golden signboard. He Lian was arguing behind her, with a cigar in her mouth, and she still couldn't find a match. She randomly took a box on the table, rubbed one, stuck it in her father's arms, and lit a cigarette for him , Leaning on him, said: "Father, you promise.I don't have brothers and sisters, and the family property belongs to me anyway, so let me do something for the country. "He Lian said: Even if I give you the family property, I can't let you ruin it. The amount is too big, I can't..." He Lina jumped on her feet and said, "Why is it ruined? Shen Guoying only has 80,000 yuan in furniture, so he just took it out." It’s 60,000, and you’re going to serve as a volunteer. You said, you have 1.2 million, but you’ve spent 800,000, and there’s 400,000 left. Why don’t you do enough in this life? In this way, your money is not enough. If you are willing to use it in an open and honest manner, it must be the goods that come in and those who come in will come out. Yes! I have studied abroad for nothing, and I don’t want your money. I will find a solution by myself.” After finishing speaking, he went to He Lian’s bedroom As soon as he ran, he closed the door immediately.

Mrs. He became anxious when she saw it, and said to He Lian: "That pistol in your drawer..." He Lian said: "It's not put away..." She immediately knocked on the door and said, "Lina, come out, don't open the drawer to mess around." Look through things." Only heard the rattle of drawers in the room, He Lina shouted: "Family tree, I have no face to see you, goodbye." Mrs. He cried and said: "My child, I have something to discuss, Don't...don't...don't be like that. I'm the only one! You come here, help me!" He Lian also just knocked on the door and shouted: Don't mess around!He took the pistol from his hand, opened the door, and let the old lady in.He Lina lay on the sofa, hid her face, and said nothing.He Lian stood in front of her and said: "You child, you are too impatient, you also wait for me to think about it." He Lina said: "Don't think about it, save the money, and prepare to pay poll tax when you become a subjugated slave." She finished speaking, Crying and making noise again.He Lian thought about it: he donated 800,000 yuan, and there are 400,000 to 500,000 yuan left.In this way, no matter what it does to the country, it is very face-saving and can win the sympathy of the people of the country.With the sympathy of the people of the country, it is of course possible to gain status in politics. ... After thinking about it for a long time, I had to feel wronged and agreed to the girl.He Lina chuckled before going to sleep.

Of course, Jiashu was happy to hear this news. The next morning, He Lina took a car to Tao's house to report.Before getting out of the car, Liu Fu greeted him and said, "Master Biao wore a long robe and mandarin jacket, with black gauze around his arms, and he went out at dawn." He Lina heard that, and hurriedly drove the car to General Liu's house again.On the road, I met eight people carrying a coffin, followed by a rickshaw, pulling Aunt Shen, and a man in rags carrying a basket of paper money, followed the car, and behind him was the family tree, walking with his head bowed.He Lina sighed, and said to herself, "That's what happened, let him go!" So she came back and waited at Tao's house.Family Tree didn't come back until one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and went to lie down in the study after entering the door.He Lina went in, comforted him first, and then told him about his father's donation.Jiashu suddenly held her hand and came to AE F2 and said, "How can I repay you for what you have accomplished me like this?" He Lina smiled and said, "What kind of repayment are we talking about. If you didn't think I was a rich lady back then, I Now I am still indulging in singing, dancing, drinking and eating, how can I know the truth of being a real person! In fact, you have made me." Jiashu was extremely sad today, but after hearing He Lina's report, he became excited again.That night, I met with He Lian and discussed the method of setting up a chemical military supplies manufacturing factory, and the result was very satisfactory.

As soon as the news was announced in the newspaper, the society sympathized with Fan and He, and many people came to help, both rich and talented. In half a month, a hospital and a manufacturing factory were established in Beiping. Besides, after Xiugu left, two radios came to Peiping, saying that Guan Shoufeng was only slightly injured, it didn't matter, the bullets arrived, he fought two battles with the enemy, and robbed a military vehicle, he must win, my friend They are very happy.Half a month later, there was little news.The Beiping General Hospital is full of war-wounded volunteers who come to recuperate. Fan and He always inquire about Guan and Shen when they meet.One day, more than a dozen wounded soldiers came, all of whom belonged to Guan Shoufeng's subordinates.He Lina found a company commander who was slightly injured, and questioned him carefully.He said: "Our army has a total of more than 1,000 people. The commander-in-chief is Guan Shoufeng, and the deputy commander is Guan Xiugu. Later, when Shen Guoying went away, we appointed him as the commander. Because of the replenishment of bullets, we beat them hard outside Shanhaiguan. We fought several powerful battles, and the enemy was terrified. Our headquarters is in Lijiabao, which is a dangerous place outside the Nine Gates. Inside the Nine Gates is the defense line of the regular army. Ten nights ago, we received an urgent report that the enemy had An army of five or six hundred, including three thousand infantry, was going to pass through Lijiabao in the middle of the night and attack the Nine Gates. Commander Shen said: We are too far behind the enemy, and we don’t have enough bullets. Commander Guan said: "No way. At the Nine Gates, there is only one regiment of the Chinese army. They were unprepared in the middle of the night. They must have been ambushed by the enemy. The enemy has occupied the Nine Gates. Shanhaiguan is self-sufficient. There are more than a thousand of us, how can we counterattack?" Use? The loss of Shanhaiguan and the shaking of North China have a lot to do with it. We can only block the main road and prevent the enemy from passing. From here to Jiumenkou, it is only a dozen miles away. Once we open fire, the defenders can prepare. We The longer we resist, the more prepared we are at Jiumenkou. Brother, tonight, let’s sacrifice for our country. Commander Shen thought about it, and it’s true. Immediately we are ready to resist. When the enemy first came, he didn’t take precautions against us. Resistance, when we got outside the village, we attacked them suddenly, they couldn’t resist, and retreated first. But there were so many of them, they surrounded Zhuangzi, and they fired wildly at the village with cannons and machine guns. We each defended the walls, and waited for the enemy to arrive The guns were only released when the firepower was within reach. The enemy only attacked violently, and we defended with all our might. After fighting for two hours, the enemy charged several times and rushed to the gate of the villa. The last time, our bullets were almost When it was over, Commander Guan yelled, "Let's fight together. It will be dawn at two o'clock. Let's go out." With a machete in one hand and a pistol in the other, he rushed out of the village with more than 500 brothers. I followed closely behind the commander-in-chief, and saw with my own eyes that he cut down seventy or eighty enemies with a knife in his hand. We fought hand-to-hand like this for a while, and the enemy could no longer hold on; our deputy commander, Miss Guan, took another Two or three hundred brothers came to meet them, and the enemy retreated. We didn't dare to pursue them, so we retreated to the village to guard. But in this fierce battle, four or five hundred people died, and the first ones, more than a thousand people, have already died. Two-thirds of them died. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, a few empty cannons were fired from the Ninth Gate. Our commander-in-chief sat on a stone under the low wall, panting and laughing: "Okay, okay! The guards, Already prepared. At this time, I saw that the clothes on his body were torn to pieces, his beard, hands, and face were covered with blood. He pressed his hands on his knees, panting AE and f2 said: Worth it! Repay the country today Yes. After he said that, he leaned against the wall and passed. Because the enemy still refused to retreat, our Commander Shen and Deputy Commander said to the Commander-in-Chief: Your old hero is not far away. We have a sigh of relief and will not let you The enemy entered my village. After speaking, Commander Shen brought three or four hundred remaining brothers, and waited for the enemy to get close, and then went out to charge and fight. It's gone. Commander Shen and Captain Li didn't come back. But the sky brightened , the enemy did not dare to attack Jiumenkou again, and retreated by himself.Miss Guan counted the living people in the village, and there were only more than two hundred left. The battle was really tragic, not only the Jiumen Gate was safe, but Lijiabao was also defended.But the enemy was fooled this time and sent four planes to bomb Lijiabao this afternoon.Our deputy commander fought all night, and then went to collect Commander Shen and Commander-in-Chief. We were too tired, so we took a nap.Unexpectedly, at this time, the plane arrived, and they woke up temporarily to avoid it, but it was too late, so they were martyred. "He Lina only heard this, and could no longer ask how they escaped into the customs. Her eyes were tearful and she began to cry. ——That night, He Lina mentioned this to Jiashu, and Jiashu couldn't help crying like rain. . The next day, it was Qingming, and the family tree was going to hang Fengxi's new grave outside Xibianmen, so he simply said to He Lina: "The ancients had a ban on smoking, and held wild sacrifices. We will do it today, at Fengxi Beside the grave, burn some paper and silk, drink some wine, and pay homage to some old people, do you like it?" He Lina said it was very good, so she ordered the servants to prepare the sacrifice, took two servants, took a car together, and arrived From outside the west gate.When the car stopped, I saw two new willows, under a tree of wild peach blossoms, there was a three-foot new grave, and a stele was erected in front of the grave, and a letter was written: "The tomb of Ms. Shen Fengxi, who was never married, was erected by the Fan family in Hang County." He Lina looked at it, nodded.The servant divided the sacrificial ceremony into two parts: one part was displayed in front of Fengxi's grave;Jiashu took the jug, poured it on the ground, and shouted: "Mr. Shen Guoying, Mr. Li Yongsheng, my good friends. Uncle Guan, Aunt Xiu, my good sister. You are gone forever. Old people! You Where did you go? The heroic spirit is not far away, please pay my respects." Then, he took off his hat and bowed three times to the northeast.Turning around, looking at Fengxi's grave, she called out, "Fengxi!" and burst into tears again.He Lina turned to the northeast, crying and calling Sister Guan.The two servants burned paper money separately.Pingyuan fell heavily, without a sound, the more Fan and He's sobs seemed to be, the more sorrowful they were.Suddenly a gust of wind blew up the burnt paper ash and flew into the sky for a long time.Half a tree of wild peach blossoms bloomed, falling on people like rain.He Lina was stunned when the wind intensified for two more bursts, blowing away the remaining flowers all over the tree.Jiashu said: "Lina, life is like this, don't waste the splendid spring time. We must at least learn from Shen Guoying, there is a kind of last cheer!" He Lina said: "Yes, you don't have to be sad, there is still me I can always understand you!" Jiashu was extremely sad, but felt that he still had such a confidant, and when he shook her hand, he laughed through tears.
