Chapter 6 Chapter Two (2)

Mei suddenly said loudly, "I should call Master Yin to accompany her. I met the snake because I helped her fetch the veil." Seeing that the dormitory supervisor ignored her, she stopped talking and ran back to the dormitory by herself. Most of the people in the dormitory were asleep, and some were awakened with their eyes wide open.Dashi had already laid down, but Huishu was sitting, probably expecting that the matter would not end. Mei walked quickly to the Dashi's bunk, and said firmly, "Master Yin! Get up!" The Dashi wanted to ask about the situation, but seeing her threatening voice, he refused to ask. Instead, he said: "I can't get up, you can control it!"

"I can control you! Get up! Go and greet Zhao Yuping! They will help you get the veil, and you were bitten by a snake, and you seem to be fine! Get up!" The Dashi sneered and said, "Are you a teacher? A principal? A chairman or a committee chairman? How fierce are you? You are fierce! You are fierce! Call someone to drive you away!" Her voice was so loud that many people woke up.Hui Shu jumped out of bed, pulled Mei nervously and said, "No, no!" Comfort your Majesty. "It's not fair! It's not fair!" Mei felt very wronged, tears dripping down her skirt.

"Don't be ignorant," Hui Shu said, "Why bother to make her lose her temper! We still have to go to school, so we should study hard. I told you not to steal beans." Seeing that Mei was silent, she added: " Fairness is not for everyone, my mother once said that fairness is only for scholars." Mei felt that her cousin was cowardly, so she stopped talking.After crying for a while, she suddenly stood up, wiped away her tears, and ran to the bathroom.Hui Shu shook his head and went back to the dormitory. Mei went to the clinic and saw that Zhao Yuping was soundly asleep, and He Chunfang was also asleep on the back of the chair.Moonlight streamed in from the window, covering the ground with silver.Mei sat on the small stool, thinking about the phrase "fairness is only for scholars".There are many things in the world that I really don't understand.She couldn't control much anymore, and fell asleep beside the bed.

After an unknown amount of time, Mei suddenly woke up.She stood up and looked at the clock on the table to give Zhao Yuping medicine.She saw a different person on the chair, not He Chunfang.who is it?It's Master Yin. The master stared at Mei, and Mei also looked at the master. At this moment Zhao Yuping woke up and said in a low voice, "Meng Lingji, I'm much better." "Master Yin is here too," Mei said. The next day, the news of Mr. Yin's accident spread throughout the school, but it didn't seem to matter who was bitten by the snake. During self-study in the afternoon, the dean of training called Yin and other five people to the office, taught them a lesson, and ordered them to pay back the bean money.Finally, he said: "How can a female doll look like a male student! Next time she commits a crime again, she will be dealt with severely! The principal has already said something." She said and glanced at the master.When Dashi was in elementary school, he was beaten. Principal Zhang did it himself and gave him ten palms.Afterwards, the principal went to Yin's house to explain the situation. It was the master who broke the head of the classmate and refused to listen to the instruction, so he used corporal punishment.The parents understood, not only did not blame, but also thanked repeatedly, saying that there are too few people like Principal Zhang.

Of course the master remembered this, and muttered "The crow is calling me", which means that the principal is a crow.Everyone did not hear. In the evening, Zhuang Wuyin went up the mountain to visit.Mei was washing things in the stream beside the pond in front of the temple gate, while Xiaowa was watching.The two looked up and suddenly saw Wu Yin standing in front of the bushes on the edge of the cliff, very happy. "Hey! Wait a minute, we'll be done washing." Mei said.She called it nothing because of Brother Zhuang in school, and was ridiculed by her classmates, saying that she was talking about brothers and sisters, which was so ugly.So only Xiaowa yelled as usual.

"Brother Zhuang!" He yelled loudly and ran over, standing with Wu Yin. "Have you heard about us? Probably not all of them?" Mei asked. "I only know about the nighttime action of stealing beans. There must be some cause and effect before and after." While rinsing things, Mei told about the night's affairs in great detail.Wu Yin and Xiao Wa listened carefully, amazed from time to time. After finishing speaking, Wu Yin said: "The whole process is like what Meng Ling has done." Mei said: "I thought you would say something that was not like what I did."

"Why not? Of course! You've always been a bit chivalrous." Mei thought it was funny, but she didn't laugh out loud.After Mei finished washing, the three of them sat side by side on the rocks on the edge of the cliff, watching the sun set. The sun sinks slowly between the blue sky and the green trees.The clouds nearby spread out and became a gorgeous rainbow, which seemed to gather all the colors in the world here.The sky was still very bright and clear, with a few white clouds floating randomly in the east, one shaped like a big dog and the other like an old man with a long nose, saying goodbye to the sun.

The sun went down.The sky suddenly darkened, and the hazy twilight came over.The expressions of the clouds and trees have changed, becoming quiet and distant. "I don't know if the sun has set in Beiping at this time." Wu Yin was thoughtful. "Last night the moon was very beautiful, and I also wondered if the moon in Peiping is also so round." Mei said. "It is said that the moon in Kunming is extra large, bright, and round for an extra long time, because of the thin air." "I remember that the moon in Beiping is also bright and big." Xiaowa was also thoughtful, "The moon shines—"

"Fireflies!" The three said the three words together.The sparkling fireflies flickering on the stream, the fireflies flying in the dream——. "My door is brown. Your door is red. Sometimes I dream of going back, but the doors of both houses cannot be opened," Mei said. "It's all caused by the Japanese devils." Wu Yin said. "Little Japanese, drink cold water, smash the tank and lose money, break your dog's legs." Xiaowa chanted nursery rhymes loudly.This nursery rhyme is spoken in Mandarin, and they haven't spoken it for a long time. "Brother Weiwei often took us to play Japanese games when we were living in the city," Mei said.

"There is a pair of couplets on the gate of Xiangsu Xiejie, I remember." Wu Yin said. "I remember it too." Mei said, "Let's say one, two, three, and say it together, and see who remembers it clearly." "Stay alone and do the same thing, don't be subtle; if you stay at the bottom, it's easy to know but hard to know." The two said loudly together.Xiaowa clapped her hands and laughed. "Meng Heji, let me test you," Wu Yin said to Xiao Wa, "Do you remember the couplets on my little red door?" Xiaowa closed her eyes and thought for a while, then Mei suppressed a smile and poked him, saying, "Don't think about it. I'm just kidding. There are no words on the little red door."

"My parents want to use a couplet, but I haven't had time yet. ——Okay, let's be serious. Today, the class teacher asked me to talk—" At this time Yan Huishu and some classmates came out of the temple gate, and when they saw them, they came over and sat beside Mei.No reason is not to say. Everyone chatted casually.Hui Shu said to Wu Yin: "Several people asked me, which one is Zhuang Wu Yin? They said that you spoke to the English teacher in English, but the algebra teacher asked you if there were any questions that he didn't understand." "The algebra teacher can't do the questions? Nothing. We sometimes discuss and discuss, and the teacher taught me." "Brother Zhuang is amazing!" Xiaowa said happily at this time, who had always worshiped Wucai.The two girls showed even more admiration. "Okay, okay. I can't take it anymore!" No reason frowned. "Oh! In the afternoon, Master Yin's family came to deliver things, and my mother brought me snacks. Ji Qingxiang's snacks. I'll get them." Hui Shu jumped up, and Lala, who was wearing a goose yellow short-sleeved thin sweater, ran lightly into the temple went. "I just said that the teacher at the level told me to let me take the university entrance exam in the summer vacation, so I don't have to go to the third year of high school." "Are you going to college?" Mei felt that going to college was far away. "Yes. People have to grow up. Even babies have to grow up." They sat in silence.A few birds flew to a nearby tree, chirping, as if greeting each other, it was getting late, it was time to go home. "I'm leaving." No reason stood up. "There are still some snacks," Mei said, "Sister Hui is kind enough to go get them." Shaking his hands for no reason, he strode down the mountain, and quickly disappeared among the trees. A round and big moon.rose. second quarter Air strikes still threaten Kunming. Running the alarm has become an important part of Kunming people's life, taking up a certain amount of time like eating and sleeping.There was a period when the air raids were particularly frequent. People got up early, cooked their meals for the day, left the city before the sirens were sounded, and returned home at dusk.For a while, the air strikes were less frequent, and the first thing people thought about after waking up was whether there would be an alarm today.If there are no days, people will talk nonsense in the vegetable market: "The bombing by the Japanese devils has no stamina, and the plane has been shot down." "How many?" "More than ten." "I heard more than twenty!" After saying these irresponsible words, he laughed and walked away. The Japanese Air Force is probably recharging its batteries.After allowing the people of Kunming to enjoy peace for a few days, about a week after Mei waited to steal the beans, Kunming was bombed again. As the alarm sounded, the teachers and students of Minglun University all walked to the suburbs.They were all well-trained, and many of them carried their horses and went outside the city to continue their classes.On the two slopes of a small hill, it soon became two classrooms. On one side, Meng Yue from the Department of History taught Song History, and on the other side, Liang Mingshi from the Department of Mathematics taught number theory.Meng Yue talked about the reasons for the poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty, and the righteousness of many people with lofty ideals.Now let’s talk about the development of academic thought and Zhou Lianxi’s theory of Taiji diagram.His history class is very focused on the history of thought.Liang Mingshi talked about Fermat, the first European who made great contributions to number theory.Number theory was Fermat's hobby, and most of his ideas were written in letters to friends.Liang Mingshi himself is also a strange person, without any special training, but has made outstanding achievements in number theory.His belief is: "Where there is number, there is beauty." Due to suffering from polio, he could not lift his left hand, but he could write fluently with his right hand.The small blackboard on the adobe is covered with various numbers and symbols. "Now comes the infinite downward method.—Fermat mentioned this theorem in a letter to a friend: a prime number of the form 4n+1 can and can only be expressed in one way as the sum of two square numbers—" These mysterious words reached the ears of history students.Students in the Department of Mathematics heard "Tai Chi Tu said that 'only people can get the most beautiful and the most spiritual. The shape is born, the spirit knows the good, the five natures are moved, and the good and evil are divided, and everything goes out'".The powerful voices of the two gentlemen collided, and everyone laughed when they heard it. The emergency siren went off, the lecture went on, no one moved.There was the rumble of an airplane, and still no one moved.Bombers appeared in the sky, arranged in two squares, densely packed, flying overhead.The increasing sound of motors drowned out the lectures.The two gentlemen stopped at the same time, signaling the students to take cover. "It's up, our plane is up!" the students shouted excitedly.I saw that there were only two of our planes, and they bravely took off to face off.The anti-aircraft guns below also started firing.But after all, the firepower was too small, and the enemy planes still flew calmly, and began to dive and drop bombs in order.There was a loud explosion that shook the ground. "The new school building is on fire!" Several students shouted at the same time.Sure enough, thick smoke was billowing over the new school building, and it was hit by a bomb. "Youchen! Youchen is in the laboratory!" Fuzhi suddenly thought of it, startled in his heart, wishing he could go over and have a look. "I don't know if the people from the new school building have come out." Liang Mingshi murmured to himself.They have no choice but to wait. Zhuang Youchen had already accepted the persuasion, did not guard the laboratory, and participated in running the alarm.Recently, because the school purchased two precious instruments - a spectrometer and a wall type galvanometer, he always felt worried about walking away.After several air strikes, no planes came. He thought it was a waste of time to go out, so he might as well read a book and think about problems. He sat at his lab table, reading a newly arrived physics journal, published by Cambridge University in the spring of 1938.Most of the instruments are stored in the laboratory cabinet, and the spectrometer and galvanometer are placed against the wall.Originally the galvanometer should have been placed on the wall.Because I was afraid of breaking it, I disassembled it after each class and put it in a special cabinet.At the heart of the spectrometer is a grating, half the size of a book, that reveals the spectrum of light as it is.Youchen said to his students more than once: "It is not easy to know the truth of things. We need to accumulate the wisdom of many people before we can be a sensible person." These instruments are specific accumulations.The grating is not bulky and could have been removed and taken away.But Youchen felt that it was not safe to take it out, and there were other instruments, so it was better to keep it. It was very quiet all around.He unbuttoned the collar of his gown and read so intently that he didn't hear the rumble in the distance.He didn't realize that the enemy plane was coming until the plane roared and chased overhead. A red light flashed outside the window, and a huge explosion made him jump up.Seeing the rows of school buildings collapse, the tin roofs made a metallic sound as they fell. "It's so close!" He thought, and subconsciously took out the light grid to cover it in the skirt of his clothes, and covered the electric device with the night quilt before walking outside the door.The enemy plane flew very low and seemed to be aimed at him, and the people in the cabin were clearly visible.There was another loud bang like the sky collapsed, and he didn't know anything. When Zhuang Youchen woke up, he found himself standing still.He couldn't fall because half of his body was buried in the soil.He still hugged the grating tightly.The grating is intact!At this time, the alarm had not been released, and people returned to the new school building one after another to rescue them.When people ran over, they saw Mr. Zhuang standing on the ruins like a statue, two small ditches were washed away by the dirt on his face with tears.Mr. Zhuang is crying!People thought he was scared at first, but soon realized that he was crying because he was happy, happy for the safety of the grating! "Light——, light—" he murmured, but couldn't say a single sentence.His lower body was tightly bound by the soil, and his body seemed to weigh a thousand catties.The soil sticks together under pressure, making it difficult to shovel, which is different from Mei et al.People were afraid of hurting him, so they could only use shovels and hands to dig slowly. Fuzhi and Liang Mingshi strode closer.Fuzhi yelled in Youchen's ear, and Youchen opened his eyes and smiled, and gave Fuzhi the grating in his hand. "There, there!" he murmured. "Jiang Ye has been shot! Mr. Jiang Ye has been shot!" Someone shouted and ran over from the gate.Fu Zhi hurriedly handed the grating to Mingshi, and ran towards the gate, Mingshi held up the box and said, "Live and die with it!" There are not many people near the gate.Jiang Ye half-lyed against the wall, closed his eyes and was speechless, his face was covered with blood, and his gown was also stained with blood.Fuzhi rushed a few steps: "Jiang Ye, Jiang Ye! Where is the injury?" Jiang Ye didn't answer, blood was still coming out of his head, running down his cheeks. "Hurry up to the hospital!" Fuzhi shouted, and immediately ordered a student to go to the principal's office to ask for the only car, while taking out a large handkerchief and clumsily bandaging it.After a while, blood seeped out again, but Jiang Ye still didn't wake up. "We can't delay!" Fuzhi said, and several young people around rushed to pick it up and asked, "Mr. Meng, where are you sending it?" The nearest clinic is on Zhengyi Road, and everyone ran to the city.Before reaching Daximen, Jiang Ye woke up. "What's going on? Who's carrying me?" "You're awake!" Fuzhi was very happy, and his steps were faster.The students said, "Mr. Jiang, you are injured. I will take you to the hospital." Seeing Fuzhi running after him, Jiang Ye said, "It's Meng Fuzhi! Let me down quickly. I won't die, I was killed by a bomb." Dead? I won't die!" Hearing that his voice was strong, Fu Zhi gestured for him to put it down, panting heavily.Jiang Ye squinted his eyes from the blood and said, "You don't have to run along." At this time, the school bus had arrived, and two students helped Jiang Ye get into the car and accompanied him to the hospital.Fuzhi came to the new school building again. The dirt on Youchen's body was almost cleaned up, and he couldn't stand upright, holding on to a chair with both hands.Principal Qin was standing next to him and said, "Sit down, sit down." Before he finished speaking, Youchen fell down with a thud, and several people stepped forward to support him, and then half-supported and half-hugged him, digging out his feet .The hem of the gown was buried in the soil and could not be pulled out, so it was cut off.The stretcher was ready, and when Youchen lay on it, he murmured: "I——, I—" He wanted to say that he was not injured, but he was still speechless.Mingshi held the grating and said to him: "Look, this is our brilliance. We teach mathematics and don't need these troublesome things." He hurriedly added, "Don't worry, I have already said, we will live and die with it." !" People were talking in low voices, saying that Mr. Zhuang was lucky to be outside the door when the roof collapsed, and that it was an earthen wall that fell on him.Several people carried Zhuang Luchen away. Fuzhi told Qin Xunheng about Jiang Ye's situation, and it was estimated that his flesh was injured.Xun Heng nodded.On the one hand, he instructed the director of general affairs to open the door of the library and allocate a reading room to put instruments.Liang Mingshi solemnly put the grating in. The original laboratory was collapsed, and people were cleaning up the rubble and digging carefully.People breathed a sigh of relief as the row of burning houses died down. "Two people were found! I'm afraid they are dead!" The firefighters ran over to report.Qin and others rushed to the edge of the fire, and saw two corpses lying on the grass, their lower bodies were charred, and the handsome faces of young men had been blurred, probably because their upper bodies threw themselves out of the window when the fire broke out, so they were not completely charred.Soon some students recognized that the two deceased were chemistry students who had joined a walking group from Changsha to Kunming.Like millions of young people, they have blood, brains, and ambitions. They originally wanted to do something for the country and the people, but unfortunately, they became ghosts looking at their hometowns in other places in an instant! White smoke floated over the fire, as if to cover everything.Qin Xunheng, Meng Fuzhi, Liang Mingshi, and others all stood in silence for a long time, surrounded by thick smoke. In this bombing, three people were seriously injured and more than ten people were slightly injured in the university area.Zhuang Youchen was not injured as expected.Jiang Ye was slightly injured.He was at the school gate when the enemy plane dropped the bomb.Originally, he was going to go through the new school building to the woods behind the mountain, but when he passed the school gate, he was suddenly attracted by the dirt road in front of the gate.The road is yellow, with red soil turned up on both sides, as if bordered with red.He wondered where the dirt road led, and forgot that he was running an alarm.He watched the road for a long time, when suddenly an enemy plane came, suddenly bricks and tiles flew across, and suddenly there was a small bang, something knocked him unconscious.Fortunately, it was only a flesh injury, and I went to the clinic for a few stitches, but it was not a serious problem.Later, when talking about it with Fuzhi, Fuzhi whispered: "The road is long and long, and I will search for it up and down." Jiang Ye said seriously: "Sure enough." After the bombing, people felt heavy and depressed, and they were still shocked.After some time, there was an alarm that made people happy.The elated one was Tantaifa. That day, she and a few classmates also ran to the back of the mountain to call the police.Meet E and Wu Jiaxin on the hillside.Fazi said that she was not with Meng Liji, because Meng Liji always seemed to be burdened with some unsolvable worries, which was too much for people.E said that she was not with Tantaifa either, because Tantaifa was always swaying around, as if nothing happened, which was even more unbearable.So E and others went over the mountain.Fazi and so on are left on the hillside. It's very close to the new school building.Few enemy planes came that day, and not many bombs were dropped.A bomb fell a few meters away from the house.Originally, these young people were doomed, but the bomb did not explode, and there was not much soil lifted up. Not only were the parents not injured, but they were not covered in dust.After the bombing, the enamel that jumped up from the ground was still neat and beautiful, almost the same as when I first went out in the morning.The few classmates who were with her didn't look embarrassed either. "Oh! Our fate is so great! I don't know whose blessing." Fazi said. "Of course thanks to Tantaifa!" said a male classmate, "The enemy plane is flying so low, it must have seen you." "That's why they dropped bombs? Really, it would be nice if there were anti-aircraft machine guns. I will fight ! You must beat the Japanese devils to death!" In the afternoon, Fazi and his classmates watched a movie first.At that time, when acting in foreign films, someone translated on stage, speaking Kunming dialect.No matter where the story is, it seems to happen in Yunnan.In the evening, they gathered again in Guanshengyuan to celebrate their survival from catastrophe.Guanshengyuan was the most western-style place in Kunming at that time, with large glass windows, white gauze curtains, and a cup of hot coffee or cocoa, you can almost forget about the war.At night, there is a red glass on each table, with small candles of various colors lit inside, which looks very gentle against the dim light.It is more expensive to come here than to eat rice noodles and sit in a teahouse, but it is not very surprising.Fazi and her friends like this place, and they always come here every now and then, and they often bring a few pieces of foreign snacks for Su Chu and He Zhu.Because she lives in Yan's house, she often goes in and out with Yingshu, and Yingshu also attends parties from time to time.In addition to the few people who survived the catastrophe tonight, there was also Yingshu. Seven or eight people sat around, and there were snacks such as peanuts and pumpkin seeds on the table. What stood out was a plate of snacks piled up with assorted creams. Each person had a drink.A classmate raised his glass and said: "As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. We are all people who are destined to have future blessings. It would be great if there were more people like us in the school." He is a man of great destiny, and I don’t know what will happen tomorrow.” Fazi said, “Tomorrow? Tomorrow, I will score 95 in English Poetry! Yan Yingshu will score 90 in Western History.” Pointing to a classmate, he said, “You scored 80 in Statistics. points!" "Why am I the least?" The classmate complained. "Because you have other things in your heart.—I don't know what it is." Someone sang the "Trilogy of Exile" in a low voice: "Weeping goodbye to the white mountains and black waters, and traveled all over the Yellow River and Yangtze River. Wandering! Wandering! Run away! Run away!" The singing voice is sad. "Escape to Kunming and run away! After I graduate, I will have a gun." Another classmate said. "We have to build our own planes," said a classmate in the aviation department. "If we don't learn advanced technology, we will always be beaten." There was a sound of footsteps, and several foreigners walked into the tea room.Because of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, French people often came to Kunming, but now with the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway, more foreigners come here.Among them, a well-proportioned blond young man glanced at Fa Zi and the group, and suddenly froze, standing still in front of the door, with a somewhat surprised look on his face. "Should we have a duel? This man is so rude." Someone acted like a knight.very quiet.Fazi was studying those cakes and was about to take a big bite. When he looked up, he happened to meet the eyes of the blond young man. "McPaul!" Fazi cried happily, put down his fork, and stood up.Paul also shouted happily, "Tantaifa! It looks just like you!" He strode over, as if to hug Fazi, and Fazi smiled and said, "This is China, we speak Chinese." Her classmates Commented: "Meet an old friend in a foreign land. Yan Yingshu, do you recognize it?" Yingshu shook her head. Fazi introduced to everyone: "Mai Paul, the wheat of wheat, the protection of Bao, Siweiluo." He asked the owner of the name: "What official title?" "Vice Consul of the United States of America in Kunming. I have been here for more than a month. I’ve been to Chongqing for four weeks. I’m planning to start looking for you next week, and I thought I’d have to look for at least a week to get results.” “It’s called breaking through iron shoes and finding nowhere to find them. It’s easy to get here.” “Iron shoes?” Fa Zi I said it again in English, and the Americans listened carefully, saying that the Chinese have a rich imagination. The Americans sit at another table and they drink.McPaul sat next to Fa Zi for a while.He returned to the United States from Peiping for about a year, and was sent out again.Everyone talked about the recent bombing, about the casualties of professors and students, and about the damage to one of our army's two planes, which will make it more difficult to fight in the future.Paul said that he also experienced a lot of bombing in Chongqing, as well as night raids.Chongqing is a mountain city, and many tunnels were dug for air-raid shelters, but he never drilled tunnels, thinking that they were more terrifying than bombs.All in all, China needs an air force, and it cannot do without it.Some American pilots noticed the problem, and a veteran pilot named Chennault was helping to train the Air Force in a private capacity.Paul's tone was very friendly, but the students were uncomfortable hearing it.China needs the Air Force and Americans need to help Zhang Luo!Yingshu asked about the situation in the United States. Paul said that the U.S. government has its policies, which are of course based on the interests of the United States, but Americans generally sympathize with China.Some people don't care about world affairs and don't know much about wars in Asia. As long as they know that China and Japan are engaged in a war, they think that Japan is unreasonable. The fact of aggression and being invaded is obvious.As they talked, the foreigners sang a song at the table. They sang Home, sweet home, and the Chinese also sang.Except for Yan Yingshu and the other two students from Yunnan, all the classmates left their hometowns and lost the warmth of their families for a long time. When they sang songs, their eyes were moist and their hearts felt sour. The moonlight is like water outside the window.Through the gauze curtain, you can see that there are few pedestrians on the street, making it even more like the moonlight of the whole world. Several waiters walked over quickly, saying that there was an advance warning and the door was to be closed. "Alarm! Night attack!" This is the first time in Kunming.The lights went out and people rose to their feet.Someone subconsciously blew out the candle. "It's still early, the plane hasn't arrived yet." Someone said, and lit two more.Everyone pooled money to pay the bill, and the difference was made by the father.Everyone go out.Paul said to send the baby back to the residence.Fazi invited Yingshu to ride in the car together, but Yingshu hesitated for a while and agreed. The street was dead silent.There are three red balls hanging on Wuhua Mountain. There are lights inside, which are very bright, like magnified blood drops.People are mostly hiding at home and resigning themselves to fate.Paul drove slowly.Fazi sighed, "I don't know what my family is doing now. Are there often night raids in Chongqing?" Before Paul could answer, there was a shrill sound of sirens and air raid sirens, tearing up the even moonlight. Three red balls went out.Paul asked Yingshu: "Where are we going? To the house or out of town?" Yingshu looked at the house.Because the elders went to live in Anning, Fazi often lived in the dormitory and seldom went to Yan's house.At this time, Fazi said, "It's better to go to the Daguanlou to have a look, the moon is so good." Paul didn't know where the Daguanlou was, and Ying Shu helped point out, so he went out of Xiaoximen and drove along Zhuantang Road.The river is very narrow, and several wooden boats are moored. "Do you remember sending Wei Fen out of Peiping last summer?" Paul said, "Today we went out of the city together to run for the police." Fa Zi said: "I don't run for the police. We are going out at night. ——Wei Fen has never heard from him. ——Maybe The third uncle and the others have news, so they don't tell me." After a while, we arrived at Daguanlou.Fazi waited to get off the car and walked around the building, and suddenly saw a vast expanse of blue waves, dyed with silver light, transparent up and down, like a world of glazed glass.The three were amazed, and Paul shouted: "This is Dianchi Lake!" He excitedly paid tribute to Yan Yingshu from Kunming.Yingshu was very happy, saying that she had never felt so beautiful before. "There is another wonderful thing." Fazi said.She was referring to the 500-character long couplet in Daguanlou. The 500-character long couplet hung in front of the building, right behind them.The paint had peeled off in several places, and the handwriting was blurred, making it hard to see in the moonlight.Fazi said: "It doesn't matter, I can recite it." She picked up a branch at random, pointed and recited the long couplet. Five hundred miles of Dianchi Lake rushes to the bottom of the eye, draped on the shore, and the joy is boundless.Look at the gods flying in the east, the spirit instrument in the west, winding in the north, and plain in the south.High-ranking rhyme, why not choose victory and come on board.Taking advantage of Xieyu Luozhou, I combed and wrapped my temples in the wind and mist.More apples and reeds, embellished with some green feathers and Danxia.Don't live up to the fragrant rice around, thousands of hectares of clear sand, hibiscus in nine summers, and willows in three springs. Fazi read the first couplet first, and was about to read the second couplet. Paul said, "Let's talk about it first, because I can't hold it in my head." A few historical allusions explain the jade ax and the leather bag in the Yuan Dynasty.Yingshu also listened attentively. Even though he was in the Department of History, he had only a vague understanding of these contents, thinking that the tricks were not simple.Fazi seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said: "One time I came with the third uncle's family, and the third uncle talked for half an hour." The sentence "Yuan Kuo Ge Nang" impressed me the most.Kublai Khan couldn't cross the Jinsha River, so he used sheepskin inflation to make a raft, defeated the Dali Kingdom, and unified Yunnan.The third uncle said that Kublai Khan's road is an important military route.That's all I remember. —Maybe I'm mistaken.I don't understand geography.In short, the road in the southwest is very important. If you lose the provinces in the southwest, it will be useless to keep Shanghai and Nanjing.He asked us to memorize this long couplet, who do you think can recite it the fastest? ""It's you? Yingshu said. "Wrong, wrong."It's Mei. Fazi said, and explained to Paul, "Mei is my little cousin." "I've seen it," said Paul, "three kids sticking their heads out through the crack of the door, the one in the middle." "" I have a good memory. "Before these three cute little heads appeared, there seemed to be a memory that Paul couldn't remember. The three sat on the stone steps, facing the Dianchi Lake, seeming to have forgotten about the air raid.Several people walked by, and one said "foreigners?" "Foreigners also ran to the police!" Paul laughed and said, "We are human, so we are not afraid of bombing? By the way, I saw Mrs. Zhuang Youchen and Wucai at the British consul's house the day before yesterday. I Ask where Mr. Meng lives, so I can find you.” That day Paul saw the mother and daughter of the Zhuang family because an Englishman, who participated in the construction of the Burma Road, lived in Kunming with his wife and eight-year-old daughter for half a year, and did not want his daughter to go to the hospital. Yue died of meningitis, and the engineer couple decided to give all their daughter's toys to Wucai before returning to China. "There are a lot of dolls in the toy, some are sitting and some are standing, they are very impressive. I thought this gift should be given to you. But the Englishman wants to give these dolls to a foreign child in Kunming." "Wu Cai is half, it's okay. I'm not a child anymore. I don't know when I will see those little friends again." Fazi sighed. This sigh made Paul's heart tremble slightly.The enamel under the moonlight seems to be covered with a layer of tulle, which is a bit hazy.Paul suddenly laughed and said, "When I look at you normally, I can't tell you that you are a bit like us Westerners, but now you are most like Chinese—very cute." "If you look at the surname Tantai, you can find out the ancestors of the ethnic minorities." Fazi said, "My grandfather is from Sichuan. There are many ethnic minorities in the southwest area. It is the hometown of 'barbarians'. You are barbarians in the first place. .” He couldn’t stop laughing. "My grandparents are Irish. My parents are missionaries. They lived in Kunming, in the area of ​​Wenlin Street. They went back to the United States because of me. I heard them talk about Dianchi Lake. So I I feel very close to Dianchi Lake." Paul said solemnly, feeling very close to the girl sitting by the water. Fazi turned to look at Paul.What a coincidence and strange thing happened in the world. She once had a vague impression that Paul had some relationship with China, but she didn't know that his parents had lived in Kunming.After a pause, she said, "So Kunming is your hometown." "I have such feelings, but before I met you this time, I hardly thought about it." Paul said thoughtfully, "We are so busy with the present and planning the future that we seldom think about the past. .” At this time, a small boat slid over the water and stopped near the stone steps.The boating woman raised her voice and asked, "Do you want to take a boat? Go around Haizi." Fa Zi jumped up, "Yes, yes!" He wanted to get off the boat.Paul offered his arm.Yingshu was displeased, and thought, "I still need to pick up dried radishes!" Then she said, "Miss Fazi, wait a minute. We are here to run the police, not to play tricks! If the plane doesn't come, let's go back." Said, got up, patted the ashes and left.Fazi retracted her outstretched foot, knowing that Yingshu was rigid and inconvenient to hold on to.He still said, "I want it, I want it." He touched Paul's arm. "Which one do you want? Your family." The boat girl asked.It means whether to take a boat or not. "It's too late, don't sit down. I'm going home," Fazi said. "When two people are together, it's home, why don't you go back!" Said the boat girl.Seeing that Fazi didn't answer, he said, "I'm going home too." Fazi was speechless, and was startled suddenly.It seems that Paul did not understand this.The two watched as the boat girl lightly tapped the oar on the stone steps, and the boat turned around and drifted away into the mist. The two quickly caught up with Yingshu and got into the car.The three of them did not speak all the way.There are few pedestrians on the road.When we arrived at Xiaoximen, we knew that the alarm had been lifted. third quarter After Yan Yingshu took McPaul's car to Tantaifa, she refused to take another car and walked back quickly.When I entered the door, I saw that the night light on the second door was dark, probably because of the air raid warning just now.There are guards walking around the courtyard.Yingshu asked, "Are you at home?" A guard replied that the army commander hadn't run for the alarm and had been at home since the afternoon.Ying Shu wanted to visit her father, but she went back to her room when she got to the front of the building.He and Yan Liangzu seldom talked, but he was proud of his father who was an anti-Japanese soldier, and he often thought about him.A large photo of his father in military uniform hangs in front of his desk.There is also a small photo of Su Chu and He Zhu, both wearing cheongsams, like sisters.He washed his hands and face in the washbasin indiscriminately, and then lay down.I lay down, but I couldn't sleep, my mind was in a mess. This way, I have been in contact with foreigners, and it is an old friendship.The second aunt doesn't care.Fortunately, the two mothers are not at home now, and she seldom comes.Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll spoil Hui Shu, Hui Shu probably thinks she's closer than me.What do you want to do with these!Useless.Dad came back from Hubei to rest for several months. He said it was a rest, but in fact it was because he lost the battle.Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, so it doesn't matter what happens.The most important thing is to beat out the Japanese devils!I will definitely not be able to play tonight, and sleep! Just when Yingshu was in a daze, there was a commotion in the yard. "The ladies are back!" greeted the guards.People poured out from nowhere, and the lights on the porch were turned on, but if you count the degrees, it might not be as bright as the moon.Yingshu sat up and saw Hezhu pushing the door in. "Mom, you are back! Why is it so late?" He Zhu hugged his son's shoulders and forced a smile: "We heard that there was an alarm outside the city. We waited for a while and finally arrived at this time." "What's the matter?" "Your father sent someone to call us, saying that there is something wrong. It must not be a good thing." "But leaving?" "Not like." Suddenly there was a sound from the stairs, and someone staggered down the stairs. "Looks like he's drunk enough. You still have class tomorrow, so you just need to sleep." He Zhu said, and went out. "Set the card table!" Liangzu roared in the courtyard.马上客厅的灯亮了，八仙桌上铺了毯子，麻将牌倒了出来。严家人对豪饮豪赌都司空见惯。但半夜里兴师动众的难道专为打牌？颖书也自纳闷，一面穿衣出房。他屋里灯一亮，就听见亮祖大声说：“严颖书！你出来！”颖书忙快步走到客厅。
