Chapter 7 Chapter V Recourse

one The overwhelming march from the north to Wuhan began. The sound of the explosion was like muffled thunder, coming from the direction of Wuhan. The sound was not particularly loud, but it hurt Qin Zhen's heart. Next to the destroyed bridge, a pontoon bridge was built on the river, and the troops walked over and over in an endless stream. Qin Zhen stood on the top of the bridge's broken cliff, looking at the crowd amidst the smoke and dust.The pontoon bridge was crowded, but orderly, and all the soldiers were radiant and energetic.Qin Zhen understood the soldier's mood at the moment.As long as the battle starts, they are eager to try, scrambling to be the first.The river, illuminated by the sun, looks like a sheet of bright copper. It looks like it is solidified, but it is actually gurgling.Under the footsteps of people, the pontoon trembled and swayed a little.The figure reflected on the water moved swiftly, with hazy light and shadow.He thought: "What a lovely army this is!" He couldn't help but click his tongue and praised, "That's how they are. They walk from the Songhua River to the Yangtze River step by step. Such a long and long line It is a great achievement in the war!" Suddenly, several violent explosions sounded continuously, and he turned to Wuhan, raising his binoculars to observe carefully.However, apart from a quiet clear sky, there are only a few white smoke coming out of the sky, and nothing else can be seen. What does this mean?While hesitating about this unpredictable situation, he suddenly noticed that all the people on the pontoon bridge were looking at him. They didn't seem to care about the sound of explosions at all, but just to see the senior commander with them when they entered the battle. be happy together.Qin Zhen understood the soldiers' state of mind very well. He immediately raised one arm and waved to them. Two or three soldiers also waved to him. Most of them seemed to be encouraged by his waving, so they quickened their pace like a tide The same, kept rushing across the pontoon bridge without stopping.A moment ago, Qin Zhen saw that Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang were also on the pontoon bridge, mixed in the marching ranks.Several people led the horses and followed behind them, but at some point, they all disappeared without a trace.Because as soon as they crossed the pontoon bridge, they jumped on their horses and swung their whips, and galloped away.Qin Zhen was going to follow behind the vanguard, but he was a step late.The artillerymen had already driven onto the pontoon bridge, and all the cannons covered with camouflage nets were drawn by horses, making a rattling noise, and the pontoon bridge seemed to be sinking under the pressure.Staff Officer Huang wanted to stop the artillery, but Qin Zhen quickly stopped him by grabbing his arm. Staff Officer Huang muttered:

"Not in order of progression..." "Oh, man, this is the liberation of Wuhan, who is not in a hurry to move forward." After the artillery unit had finished crossing the river, Qin Zhen walked across the pontoon bridge and jumped onto the little jeep. Troops were everywhere on the main road, and the little jeep couldn't run.The driver honked the horn loudly, and Qin Zhen didn't stop it anymore, because he was also very anxious. The rumbling explosion cast an ominous shadow on his heart. The army is like a sea tide, and the jeep is like a speedboat breaking through the waves, leaving a track.The dark crowd dodged to both sides, like waves opening to both sides and then closing again.

The jeep overtook the crowd, and the driver looked back anxiously, apparently to see if the large truck carrying the guards had followed.This is the front line, we should wait for them to advance together.Qin Zhen stomped his feet suddenly, the steel chassis of the jeep slammed, and uttered a word firmly: "Walk!" Qin Zhen estimated that the first outpost troops should have entered Wuhan. He was eager to directly grasp the situation and deploy tasks, so the jeep whirled up a puff of smoke and flew away. The sound of the explosion was getting closer and closer, and a heavy sense of urgency suffocated people. People were no longer walking but running.

When the jeep ran to a wooden bridge, the wooden bridge was burning, and the thick black smoke had rolled up red flames.The jeep flew onto the wooden bridge, and the hot air hit Qin Zhen's face. Qin Zhen just felt the scorching heat, but before he had time to think about it, the jeep rushed through the flames like lightning.As soon as the car passed by, the wooden bridge collapsed with a bang.Qin Zhen was startled, admiring the driver Xiao Zhao in his heart, and cast a glance at the young man's face, a layer of sweat oozed from the driver's flushed face. The follow-up troops had to wade across the river. The soldiers were carrying heavy loads, you pulled me, I pulled you, kicked and splashed, and bursts of happy chatter and laughter broke out among them.

Qin Zhen was infected by the soldiers, and a hazy smile flashed across his face, and the smile stayed on his face, as if to say: "Yes, we are calm!" "Yes, we are calm!" In fact, time is advancing, time is advancing, and he is fighting for every minute and every second! ——He is eager to know: what he is going to get is Wuhan that has been wiped out, the dilapidated Wuhan, or the intact Wuhan... But when the car drove up a long highland, the car shook violently, He stopped suddenly, unable to move. Qin Zhen stood on the high ground dejectedly, rubbed his hands and said:

"Why did an accident happen at this time?!" However, even he, the "special driver", participated in it, and couldn't find out what went wrong. Accelerator, wiring... No problem, the driver leaned over very quickly and got under the platform. After a while, the driver shouted from below with his flushed face: "A screw fell out." The stout driver crawled out, gasping for breath. "Are there any spare parts?" "No……" "No, no, should we carry it into Wuhan?" Qin Zhen became angry. Staff Officer Huang reminded: "Let's look for it."

A ray of hope suddenly flashed in Qin Zhen's heart, and he immediately said: "If you find it, you must find it. Even a small screw can't fly into the sky!" The road is so wide, with lush grass growing on both sides, it is not easy to find a small screw.But if you don't find it, in the vast wilderness, can you ask the sky or the earth for a screw?So, all the people scattered to search. Qin Zhen is such a person. When he does something, he will be careful, concentrate and forget everything. The sun was very strong, and the road surface was as reflective as white sandstone, and the fine sand on the road surface was dry and scorched under people's footsteps.

Quiet, so quiet that everything froze. Qin Zhen sometimes squats, sometimes walks a few steps and then bends down. His eyes are calm and sharp. He has to find this screw first to show that he is stronger than the young man who calls him "old man" behind his back. some. When people were concentrating on searching, they suddenly heard him shout in surprise: "Ah, here..." Everyone ran to him one after another, and saw him standing on the side of the road, holding a screw in his finger. It turned out that from the very beginning, he was not aimless, but searched from the contrast of colors. The road is yellow, the grass is green, and the screws are gray. In this way, he quickly found a way.This screw just flew under the grass on the edge of the road. Against the green background, the gray screw is particularly conspicuous.Everyone surrounded him at once, and they couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration and cheers. People lifted up their skirts and wiped the sweat on their faces.Qin Zhen proudly said loudly:

"It's just a needle, and I have to fish it from the bottom of the sea." The driver, Xiao Zhao, grinned happily, reached out to take the screw, and immediately got under the car. Qin Zhen stood on the high ground, with his hands on his waist, and looked towards Wuhan. He had already seen the shadowy and gloomy outline of Greater Wuhan.At this time, through the scorching sun, there was a gust of wind blowing in. Only places close to the river can have such a wind. The wind contains moisture, which makes people feel very cool.He smelled the wind blowing from the Yangtze River, he was very excited, his nose fluttered slightly, his heart contracted slowly and comfortably, and then slowly relaxed.

The jeep was running again. The wind with more and more humidity rushed towards his face, Qin Zhenda opened his military uniform, and Yi Ren Jiang Feng violently beat on his chest. The jeep is running like lightning: ——The meadow turned into a vegetable field. - Dilapidated houses appeared in the open fields. ——The house is closely connected with the house. They drove into the avenue lined with erythrina trees, and buildings appeared on both sides.Mizaza buildings, doors and windows, shining glass.The street is so straight and so long, it seems to have no end, and it will go all the way to the sky. At a crossroad, Qin Zhen motioned to turn left and drive to the Yangtze River.Before the car stopped, he jumped off and strode towards the river bank.The sun illuminated the vast and mighty river in white, and the waves could not be seen, nor could the sound of the waves be heard. Only a few exploded ships on the river were emitting thick black smoke.

One, two, ten... Qin Zhen looked at the burning ship, his heart was both annoyed and relaxed, and then a great joy swept over his body.He turned around with big strides, yes, he embraced the whole of Wuhan, a complete and complete Wuhan. Bai Chongxi's troops finally did not dare to carry out the plan to blow up Wuhan, but retreated in embarrassment under an emergency contest.Before this, there were so many worries and worries, but now there are no bloody soldiers, bringing new hope, new life, and new dawn to this hub city in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.How can Qin Zhen not be happy to achieve the most ideal result from the expectations of the heads of the headquarters? Yes, hug... It is to embrace with a fiery heart. This is the place where the first ray of sunshine, the second ray of sunshine, and now the third ray of sunshine flashed on the ancient and disaster-ridden land of China! All of a sudden, how much passion, how much sorrow, how much joy there was in his heart, all surged up like a river tide. He approached the jeep slowly and ordered the speaker: "Talk to Master Chen Wenhong!" The announcer immediately stretched the antenna of the answering machine and shouted loudly: "Yellow River! Yellow River! I am Mount Tai, Mount Tai, I want the Yellow River! I want the Yellow River!..." Qin Zhen took the telephone and said loudly in his sonorous voice: "Are you Chen Wenhong? How is your army doing?" "According to the deployment of the Corps; we have already seized the Zhanggong Dike, Wutai Gate, Water Plant and Power Plant separately..." "Okay! Now, Chen Wenhong, I order you to lead the troops to the prison immediately! Open the prison! Free the prisoners! Yes, yes, it is the prison, I order you!" two The People's Liberation Army received a warm welcome as soon as they arrived in Wuhan. Wuhan woke up from panic and panic. It opened its eyes wide and opened its arms to welcome its relatives. When the first troops entered the river bank, they saw a small group of people running towards them, shouting and waving their arms.So, the two sides hugged each other. "We are railway workers at Jiang'an Locomotive Depot." "You have suffered and suffered!" "You guys are constantly under fire, aren't you working harder than us?" The one who ran in the front was a man with a thick body and a big waist. He had sideburns and a black complexion, which made the whites of his eyes and teeth very white, and his big eyes were shining.He squeezed into the hot and sweaty team, and while searching, he asked: "Who is the chief? Who is the chief?" Chen Wenhong took a step forward to shake hands with him. The man introduced himself: "I'm the captain of the railway workers' picket team. Oh, we've been waiting for you for a long time. Let's figure it out." Due to over-excitement, his mouth was like a spout, full of thoughts and words, pouring out On the spout of the pot, they all leaked out, but they couldn't tell, and they didn't know what they had planned.He was a little annoyed by his incoherent speech, and he didn't say until he calmed down a bit: "We will drive a locomotive to take you into Hankou..." "Yes, yes, take the train to Hankou!" The crowd surrounded Chen Wenhong and a platoon led by him and walked forward. The picket leader turned his upper body, raised his right hand and waved in the air, shouting: "Put our flag on the front of the car!" "Let's be majestic!" "If Bai Chongxi hadn't blocked Wusheng Pass, we would have taken a train to Xinyang to pick you up!" I couldn't tell who was speaking, and who was laughing, but there was a lot of noise from this group of people, which constituted the joy that burst out from the heart. The sun was shining on the Jiang'an Locomotive Factory, and it was hot and windless. Many railway lines stretched out in all directions like tendons on a human body.Except for the steel rails shining brightly, the sleepers, the stones laid under the rails and sleepers, and the ground outside were all pitch-black as if splashed with tar.A young man with a flushed face and hairy lips ran forward holding a flag, panting as he ran, shouting intermittently: "Here we come... Our flag is here..." They walked side by side with Chen Wenhong to a locomotive that was ready to go. The locomotive made a sound like panting, and a wisp of white smoke came out from the chimney. The captain climbed the handrail and stepped on the steps to the high door, turned around, and screamed: "This is the intention of our Jiang'an workers!" Chen Wenhong climbed up behind him, waved his hands and said to the soldiers: "Get in! Get in! This is the locomotive of the proletariat!" Soldiers climbed onto the locomotive one after another, some were in the locomotive compartment, most stood on the top of the piled coal at the back, some grabbed what they could grab, and stepped on the steps with their feet. Both sides of the locomotive were covered with people .The young man rushed onto the front of the car as if flying, and waved a bright red flag there.The wheels of the locomotive started to spin, and when it accelerated to speed, the red flag fluttered like a burning red glow, making popping sounds.Chen Wenhong and the captain of the road guard stood behind the fireman, the scorching heat from the hearth hit his right face, the cool wind from the car door hit his left face, and the red fire shadow cast by the fire light flickered on his face.He gritted his teeth and remained silent, his heart was tense, as if he would jump if he relaxed a little.He has only one thought: "Hurry up! Hurry up!" There were two consecutive violent blasting sounds. Due to the approaching distance, the sound was no longer dull, but loud and crisp like a thunderbolt.Chen Wenhong's cheeks trembled with the explosion.The lively scene of meeting at Jiang'an just now was very touching. As the locomotive started, everyone was immersed in a tense and serious atmosphere.A railroad worker with his upper body naked, his arms protruding and tensing, swung a shovel to deliver coal into the furnace. The soot was swirling and the hot sweat was shining.Troops marched in battle stance, loaded, fingers pressed to the triggers of their guns. Before the locomotive stopped, Chen Wenhong jumped off with the soldiers, occupied the train station, and headed towards the city center.In the city center, meet Liang Shuguang who is leading a troop of cavalry.The first regiments arrived one after another, and they immediately dispatched a troop to quickly seize the ferry terminal; they also dispatched two troops to quickly seize the power plant and the telecommunications office.At this time, the news of the PLA's entry into the city had quickly spread throughout the city.When Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang led the leading troops to advance along Zhongshan Avenue, suddenly with the boiling shouts and songs, a large group of people rushed towards them, led by a group of young people, holding large red banners.The banner was swaying, and three large characters of "It's dawn" flashed out.The parade celebrating the liberation was mighty and mighty, and suddenly merged with the liberation army they had been looking forward to day and night.It was a tear-jerking, heart-wrenching scene.When the people on both sides ran, it was like two torrents rushed together and melted into one.People shook hands and hugged, with tears on their faces, just shouting "hehe", not knowing what to say.In an instant, the road was already crowded.The whole of Wuhan was excited by this joyous moment. Ten rooms were empty, tens of thousands of people lined the streets, men, women and children cheered: "Welcome to the Chinese People's Liberation Army!" "Long live the Communist Party!" "Down with the war criminal Chiang Kai-shek!" Enemy Bai Chongxi!" Following the slogan, thousands of heads gathered in the windows on both sides of the street, waving and applauding.Hanging firecrackers hung upstairs, and in an instant, the crackling sound of firecrackers like roasted beans was earth-shattering.People's enthusiasm is like a surging wind, even more turbulent than the waves of the Yangtze River.The singing of "Unity is strength", "You are the lighthouse", and "The sky in the liberated area is a clear sky" echoed like waves.Even old people and children came running, the old people were so happy that they burst into tears and couldn't help themselves; the children threw themselves into the arms of the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army, and some dexterously climbed up the barrel of the cannon, smiling and clapping their hands.Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang walked in front of the team.Chen Wenhong's chest heaved and he breathed heavily, the joy of victory enveloped his whole body, making him forget everything.But when he accidentally cast a glance at Liang Shuguang, he found that Liang Shuguang was extremely excited, his face was trembling slightly, and every wrinkle on his cheeks became denser and deeper like a knife.Liang Shuguang kept searching the crowd with his eyes, obviously he was expecting to meet someone, who was it?is the mother.Will mother come?If the mother sees her son coming back, she will rush to him.But no, nothing.He shook his head: ——No, no, is mother still there?still there?My mother is here, so maybe I can’t walk or run... Despite thinking this way, Liang Shuguang’s eyes searched the crowd anxiously, and a thought flashed across his mind: “The place where I was born and raised! , I'm back! I'm finally back!" Chen Wenhong felt that his partner was suddenly preoccupied and lost in dreams.He immediately touched Liang Shuguang with his elbow.Liang Shuguang seemed to have woken up, smiled shyly, and walked forward together with Chen Wenhong at particularly mighty and majestic steps.At the same time, they kept waving to the crowd standing on the side of the road, lying on the roof of the building, climbing on the pole, and climbing the tree. Chen Wenhong thought about the captain of the road guard.In the contact just now, the captain of the road guard left a very deep impression on him.This man is lean, sophisticated, and so simple.Perhaps due to the occupational habits of railway workers who are punctual and every second counts, he is so quick, accurate and decisive in doing things, all of which are dominated by his inner enthusiasm, which makes him look high-spirited and energetic.When the train was driving from the river bank to Hankou, the railway worker kept staring at the direction of the locomotive, and his whole posture was as majestic as a helmsman.At that time, the situation was urgent, so I didn't pay attention to it; now I suddenly remembered that the captain's shoulders were bandaged, and his entire right arm was wrapped in a triangle, hanging on his chest.He is a wounded man!When the locomotive entered Wuhan Station and was about to lead the troops into the urban area, he bid farewell to the group of railway workers.Chen Wenhong hurriedly shook hands with the captain of the road guard. He felt that this hand was so huge, hard and powerful. He smiled so brightly and spoke in a soft voice. He told Chen Wenhong: "Come to me if you need anything, my name is Liang Tianzhu." three Liang Tianzhu sent the People's Liberation Army into Wuhan, and he had to hang his heart for several days and nights before he finally fell to the ground. How tense it was, the days and nights when the sun flickered and the thunder and lightning flashed for a while! Bai Chongxi flew back to Wuhan from Guangzhou on May 14.At four o'clock in the afternoon on the 15th, the first explosion sounded from the Yangtze River. The explosives were ignited and the destruction began.This was the most difficult, painful and dangerous night in Wuhan.The flames kept shining, and thick smoke billowed over the wide river thirty miles from Chenjiaji to Longwang Temple.Throughout Wuhan, gasps, heartbeats, and feelings of terror spread everywhere, and various news and rumors spread everywhere, like shredded paper blowing all over the sky.Some said: "If the enemy wants to blow up the river embankment, the river will roar like a flood and swallow the whole of Wuhan." Some said: "The enemy planted millions of tons of explosives in the three towns of Wuhan. The bustling city was reduced to ashes." It was like a terrible plague spreading across the world, from children to adults, they dared not walk or make a sound, and there was silence.This seems to be the eve of the dying of this prosperous city with an ancient civilization. Night, long night! Night, long night! One evening, the enemy ordered all locomotives to concentrate on the river bank. At night, a group of people in plain clothes arrived in large trucks one after another. The tarpaulins on the trucks were tightly covered, and no one was allowed to approach. In a dormitory room with no lights on, Liang Tianzhu called all the captains of the road protection team and discussed quietly. "It must have been explosives." "Look at the situation, the enemy is going to kill you." ... Liang Tianzhu kept biting his fingernails with his teeth. Before he knew it, blood came out of the bite, and he didn't even feel the pain. At this critical moment, he said firmly: "Blowing up the fire of Wuhan can't let them start from here! Mobilize all workers and act immediately. A locomotive, a wheel, and a screw cannot be damaged!" At this moment, a bolt of lightning came through the window. Liang Tianzhu stood up abruptly and strode out. As soon as he opened the door, he felt a hot and humid steam rushing towards his face.Looking up, there is not a single star in the sky, and the dark clouds come over from the Yangtze River and press down tightly close to the ground.Just as he was thinking, another fiery red lightning illuminated the sky, and a heavy rain was about to come.Liang Tianzhu's heart suddenly brightened, and he quickly got away and ran back into the crowd, not knowing what to say, he just shouted in a low voice: "Okay! . . . Good! . . . " All turned their heads towards him. The third bolt of lightning once again illuminated the whole room brightly, followed by a thunderclap.In that bright flash, people saw Liang Tianzhu put his left hand on his waist and swung his right hand vigorously.It was as if the whole sky, the clouds, the lightning, the thunder, were at his mercy, and the rain poured down in torrents. "The rain is very heavy, let's take advantage of this time and act according to the plan!" One by one, figures flashed out from the doorway into the dark rainy night. One person in front is running, one behind, followed by another... The railway workers have already prepared contingency measures. The coal is loaded and the water is filled. When the time comes, they will evacuate the locomotives one by one and drive to various places. A locomotive drove away without a sound. A locomotive drove away without a sound. The last remaining locomotive hadn't started yet, and was spotted by the enemy.Liang Tianzhu was running towards the locomotive, and in the light of the lightning, he saw several black figures running towards them in the rainstorm.Liang Tianzhu shoved the young man with a flushed face and fine hair on his lips vigilantly, and hurriedly issued an order: "Drive! Run!" The young man understood and jumped onto the front of the car. Liang Tianzhu raised a two-foot-long iron wrench and slammed it on the head of the person who rushed forward. There was a smell of blood, and the person collapsed like a soft cloth bag.Then, he waved his arms and fought with the few people who came up from behind.He heard the sound of the wheels on the rails, jumped on the locomotive, and slammed the doors shut.There was a crisp sound from the window pane, and a bullet came through the door.Liang Tianzhu's body shook violently, and he quickly covered his right arm, a stream of hot blood gushed out from between his fingers.The young man turned around in surprise and wanted to help him, but he shouted: "Let go and drive!" The torrential rain kept falling. The sound of gunfire and screaming was far behind.The locomotive galloped rapidly. Blood dripped down from Liang Tianzhu's arm... Four Chen Wenhong received Qin Zhen's order and immediately led the troops to the prison. Like every time he performs a mission on the battlefield, he is decisive, firm, and full of belief in victory. However, the moment he turned the intersection and walked onto the street where the prison was located, Qin Zhen's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he remembered Qin Zhen staring at him with deep eyes.It was the dawn of Chenguang Jiawei. Qin Zhen's jeep suddenly drove over from the headquarters of the Corps. He jumped out of the car, and he and Chen Wenhong and Liang Shuguang, who had been notified from the military headquarters, were waiting anxiously by the roadside. After shaking hands and giving them the order to "drive into Wuhan!", he left Chen Wenhong behind, and the two of them stood facing each other. Qin Zhen looked him up and down, as if he was evaluating whether this person could afford to be handed over to him. A special task, and then cast a deep look at Chen Wenhong, and made a deep voice: "Bai Jie is not your only Bai Jie. Bai Jie is a very important secret worker. She broke into key departments of the Kuomintang, obtained confidential information, and made outstanding contributions to the victory of the War of Liberation. We must rescue her! Look, this is a telegram from Vice Chairman Zhou." He obviously copied this telegram for Chen Wenhong to emphasize the importance of this matter.He took out a small book from the small right pocket of the military jacket, opened a folded paper inside, and handed it to Chen Wenhong. Chen Wenhong read the telegram word by word. He just stood and stood upright like that, as if saying: "I will not live up to the party's entrustment." Qin Zhen's eyes became gentle, kind and moist: "Yes, we must do everything possible. Chen Wenhong, remember, do everything possible..." Chen Wenhong understood Qin Zhen's unfinished language, which meant that Chen Wenhong must find Bai Jie. When Chen Wenhong answered in the affirmative according to the request of the Deputy Commander of the Corps, Qin Zhen waved his hand, turned and walked away. Now, when he finally set foot on this street, suddenly, his heart was hot and he couldn't restrain his excitement. He seemed to see Bai Jie, who was walking towards him holding a watery white lily flower... (That evening, he learned from Qin Zhen that Bai Jie was in Wuhan Prison. After coming out of Qin Zhen’s residence, he saw a clump of lilies at the side of the path inlaid with stones. He immediately thought of that moonlit night in Yan'an...) Chen Wenhong is full of bullets and bullets. He has experienced many battles and is known for his calmness and composure.However, when he approached the gate of the prison step by step, he couldn't restrain his heartbeat. He felt that his forehead was covered with sweat. Was it cowardice?Is it panic?Is it disappointment?No, no, Chen Wenhong seemed to be arguing with someone, and mustered a surge of courage from his surging heart: "I must rescue her myself!" ——Bai Jie was smiling at him... He was full of confidence and went forward.Yes, every step he took was getting closer to Bai Jie, he would meet her immediately, and he was about to hold her hands, this ardent desire condensed into a force, he felt braver than brave, More calm than calm, he quickened his pace. At this time, several soldiers quickly ran in front of him, and he quickly overtook them. He wanted to break down the gate of hell with his own hands, and he wanted to take out his own flesh and blood, his own flesh and blood, who had suffered so much and suffered so much with his own hands. Brothers, sisters.Panting heavily, he ran towards the prison gate.At this moment, the gate of the prison suddenly opened slowly by itself. Chen Wenhong was stunned for a moment. Before he had time to think, he was immediately moved by a scene. A black crowd appeared from the open gate. It turned out that the warden's group of wicked people had escaped without a trace at the critical moment.Seeing the arrival of the People's Liberation Army, a small number of guards slowly opened the prison gate, and all the prisoners rushed out. These people have been confinement in the dark for a long time, and when they came under the sun, they couldn't help the bright sunlight, and they couldn't open their eyes for a while. Chen Wenhong wanted to say a word first, but he raised his hand, but he didn't say anything.He was looking for it, but couldn't find it in time. Wearing ragged prison clothes that looked like dried, damp and moldy rotten leaves, they and their hair were disheveled like weeds, trembling slightly in the breeze. It was a sudden and unexpected stalemate for a few seconds. Suddenly, both of them understood.Yes, the night has come to an end, the dawn has come, they have no time to laugh, but tears pour down. Among the crowds pouring out of the prison, someone was holding a tattered straw mat with large black characters written on it.They seemed to have been prepared for a solemn and solemn meeting.The phenomena that appeared in front of Chen Wenhong's eyes were messy, fuzzy, and couldn't be distinguished for a while.He heard them and their weak and excited cries, and he saw countless passionate faces and shining eyes.But he couldn't tell which face looked like, which pair of eyes looked like.At this moment, a person suddenly rushed towards him, it was a disheveled, emaciated woman, she staggered and was about to fall.Chen Wenhong opened his arms to embrace her, and she grabbed his arms with both hands and shook them.Is she Bai Jie?Could this be the Bai Jie she was looking for so hard? !However, the woman moved her lips cowardly and spit out two words: "Bai Jie..." "Aren't you Bai Jie? Where is Bai Jie now?..." He got no answer.Unable to withstand the excitement and stimulation, this weak woman passed out in a flash. How much excitement in the world seems to be condensed here. How much sorrow there is in the world seems to be condensed here. Chen Wenhong could tell that this was not Bai Jie, but he knew immediately that this was his comrade.He picked up the woman horizontally, he felt her body was so light, like hugging a pile of dried firewood, and he handed her over to the soldiers. At this time, there was a huge crowd of people in front of the prison, some "prisoners" who had come out of the prison, and some family members who came to look for their relatives.Some met each other suddenly, hugged immediately, and cried out, while some couldn't find anyone, and opened their mouths to cry out.But at this time, people continued to pour out from the prison gate, holding flags made of broken mats, and shouting welcome slogans.The sun shone brightly in the crowd, and the grass clippings scattered by the mats fluttered in the air.All of this, the solemnity in the excitement, the solemnity in the tragic, especially moved people to tears. Some soldiers were embraced by people who had no relatives to pick them up, and each other uttered penetrating sobs. This was a groundbreaking moment. It was a moment of thunder from the clear sky. This is the moment when the dark hell is finally illuminated by the sunshine of heaven. Chen Wenhong couldn't restrain himself, he squeezed into the crowd, he was looking, he was looking. Fives Chen Wenhong is looking, looking, looking. He went all the way to the back of the crowd going out, and there were a few elderly people with handicapped legs scattered here and there.Soon, everyone left, and this gloomy courtyard became even more gloomy.The gloomy and musty smell that only exists in non-human life makes people feel horrible. Chen Wenhong rushed into the cell with several soldiers. On the cell floor, there were tattered and broken mats, torn shoes and socks, broken black-glazed porcelain bowls rolled everywhere, and bamboo chopsticks in disorder.The high walls of the prison block the sunlight, and the room is as dark as the shade of the mountains behind it.These tattered things seem to be the dead bones left behind after they have been worn down, devoured, and sucked people's blood, flesh, and life.Standing in this empty and bottomless abyss of sin, Chen Wenhong seemed to have a mouth wide open, as if it wanted to chew and crush his bones. Chen Wenhong felt a gloomy air rush towards him.He also saw, on the dark wall, many fat bedbugs running around in a panic, and the mice poked their brains with their bright little eyes, and disappeared without a trace when they heard the sound of footsteps.These ghosts and demons, shameless people!A wave of anger rushed to my heart.He rushed from cell to cell. ——Maybe Bai Jie was tortured and couldn't move? ——Maybe Bai Jie was imprisoned in a secret room that no one knew about? —maybe, maybe... He became more and more anxious, like a whirlwind, he smashed all the doors and smashed all the windows. At last he found the smallest cell. It was worse than a cell here, a dark cavern, empty and empty. Chen Wenhong seemed to hear a faint moan... This groan, this painful groan, at this moment, brought him great hope. It's like seeing a little light in the distance from the dark wilderness, so far away, so small, so trembling.However, for Chen Wenhong, this weak groan is just a glimmer of life in despair. He shouted to the whole prison: "Bai-jie-!" Echoes echoed throughout the empty, gloomy prison: "Bai... Jie..." The guard came running with a flashlight.He turned on the flashlight, illuminating the whole room. He saw a pair of black, cold handcuffs and fetters thrown in the center of the ground.A pile of prison clothes was thrown on the rotten grass on the remnant mat under the wall.
