Only said this, Chen Hanxiang couldn't bear to say it anymore.

That's Jianning, such an outstanding person, when it comes to academic talent, there are almost no classmates in the grade who don't admire her. Such a weak woman, who was helpless on Hong Kong Island after the fall, was searched and arrested by the Japanese army everywhere, and there was a famine, so she had to commit herself to others in order to have a stuttering life, and there was no way to do it.

But the person she was facing in front of her was Jianning's fiancé, a poor man who was willing to sneak into the fallen Hong Kong Island regardless of the danger, just to find his fiancée. Such a pair of lovers fell into such a result, it is really fate.

Chen Hanxiang almost pleaded: "Please understand Jianning's situation more, Hong Kong Island in the past two years is hardly something that ordinary people can live, and she, she has to ...... it."

Feng Yi was more calm than she imagined, and her expression was as calm and gentle as ever: "I'm tired of Miss Chen, you take me to see people, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when I see Ning." ”

Chen Hanxiang hurriedly responded, asked the family to prepare a car, and took Feng Yi to leave together.

The car drives on the winter countryside, and the mountain road is bumpy, just as the mood of the human mind also fluctuates all the way.

According to the person sent out by Chen Hanxiang to inquire about the news, the little man is said to be surnamed Zhou, and he earns some money by doing part-time jobs and odd jobs for people everywhere, and he is usually a person who is usually taciturn, and he will visit her every ten days and half a month to bring her something to eat.

But her relationship with the little man didn't seem to be very good, every time the other party came to bring her food, the two of them had to quarrel behind closed doors, and the noise didn't stop until the middle of the night, and the man slept in her room.

It is said that the little man also beat her.

When Chen Hanxiang said this, she felt uncomfortable for Wen Jianning.

How did such a good person fall to such a state?

In the blink of an eye, the mountain road had come to an end, and the group finally saw the Taoist temple in front of them from a distance.

Everyone got out of the car, came to the door, pushed open the two dilapidated gates, and walked inside while shouting people. Since the arrival of the Japanese army, the whole island has been scraped to the ground, but everyone who can run has run away. For more than a year, there have been famines one after another, and there is no rice in places such as Taoist temples, so many people can't stand the hunger and go down the mountain to work to earn some rice money.

So there was no one in the view, and no one was allowed to break in.

Fortunately, they walked in a little further, and the viewer finally came out.

She is a middle-aged woman in her forties, and there is always some sadness on her face.

After hearing everyone's intentions, she said: "What you are looking for is Chengxin, yes, it should be her." Among our people here, she is the most stylish, and she looks like a delicate lady. By the way, she's picking up rice in the backyard, and I'll take you to see her. ”

The crowd followed her all the way to the kitchen in the backyard, where they saw several women squatting in to pick up rice. A few people were more alert, and when they heard the footsteps, they raised their heads, revealing unfamiliar faces. There was only one person who didn't hear anyone coming, and kept his back to them, with his head down and picking up the sand and gravel from the rice.

Feng Yi stood at the door fixedly, never stepping forward.

Chen Hanxiang couldn't help it, so he walked over and shouted softly, "See Ning." ”

The woman with her back to them stood up and turned her face to look at them in horror.

Although her face is gray and dull, she can still see the beauty of the past from her eyebrows. It's just that although this young woman is beautiful, she is not the person they are looking for.

Chen Hanxiang was stunned for a while, and her mood fell to the bottom.

The other party's eyes widened vigilantly, but his voice trembled with fear: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Chen Hanxiang was about to explain, but saw that Feng Yi had come to them at some point, and bowed slightly to Jianwan politely before introducing herself: "Presumably you are Jianning's cousin, I don't know where she is now?" I am her fiancé Feng Yi, you may have heard my name." I'm here to get you out. ”

Although his tone was quite calm, he couldn't hide the urgency and nervousness.

After seeing Wan looking him up and down carefully, the doubts in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he asked tentatively: "You, are you really her fiancé? How did you find us?"

……

In the evening of that day, Wen Jianning hurried to the Taoist temple as usual.

She happened to have just finished her salary today, and she rushed here to buy some food, firstly, to thank the people here for taking care of Jianwan, a troublesome spirit, and secondly, she herself had not been able to eat a good meal for a long time.

In the past, when I saw her bring food, I was blushing today, but today is a little different, her whole face is radiant, and she doesn't even look at those things, so she pulls her aside: "I have something to tell you." ”

Seeing Wancai, he snorted and chirped: "Someone came to you today, saying what your college friend is, do you want to see it." ”

Wen Jianning frowned and said, "Has anyone found our traces?"

Seeing Wanbai's glance at her, he sneered: "You are less worried, if people had the intention to harm you, we would have been arrested together a long time ago." That person is really your college classmate, his name is Chen Hexiang, and he said that he is friends with you. ”

Wen Jianning knew as soon as she heard that Chen Hanxiang did marry on Hong Kong Island after dropping out of school halfway that year, but before Zhong Hui left Hong Kong Island, she repeatedly emphasized to her that Chen Hanxiang's husband's family had already taken refuge in Japan, so she asked her to be more careful and not to believe the words of others. At this moment, Chen Hanxiang suddenly came to the door, and Wen Jianning was not suspicious.

She frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly asked coldly, "Who else came with her?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Jianwan's face: "You might as well guess for yourself." ”

Wen Jianning just glanced at her coldly: "Where is the other." ”

Seeing that Wan saw that she was not fooled, but guessed the truth so quickly, she only felt extremely boring, and said reluctantly: "Waiting for you in another room, saying that I want to give you time to accept it slowly." I also sent you clothes, you clean up your life, whether we can escape depends on your good fiancé. ”

In the end, her words were still a little sour.

Wen Jianning ignored her, turned her head to look at the stack of clothes she put next to her, and went to get a basin of water to wash her face. I don't know who prepared a set of blue jackets for her, and after she changed into it, she looked at her reflection in the water in the wooden basin.

Wen Jianning hadn't looked at his appearance for a long time.

When she went out, she dressed as a man, with a gray and unkempt face and messy hair all day long, but now she has combed her hair and washed her face, and finally revealed her beautiful features. Although she was a little malnourished and her face was not very good-looking, compared to the way she looked when she first came, she was at least able to go out to meet people.

She has been hiding in Tibet for the past two years, and she is unkempt every day, if she suddenly meets Feng Yi in this way, she is afraid that she will not be able to raise her head in front of him. Feng Yi is really thoughtful, he has always been such a proper and meticulous person, and he cares about her feelings in everything he does. But it was this kind of meticulousness that made her feel a subtle sourness inexplicably.

At this moment, Feng Yi was waiting for her in another room in the backyard of the Taoist temple.

Wen Jianning looked all the way as Jianwan said, and came to the door to stop. When he was hesitating to knock on the door and enter, the person inside the door suddenly spoke, and his voice was as gentle and clear as ever: "Jianning, are you here?"

Then, she heard footsteps coming from inside the door and stopped in front of it. The other party didn't immediately push the door open, but whispered through the thin door panel: "If you don't mind, I'll open the door." ”

Wen Jianning took a deep breath and slammed the door open, only to see that familiar person standing in front of her.

More than two years have passed, Feng Yi is still the same as in the past, but he seems to have lost a lot of weight, and there is some imperceptible tiredness between his always gentle eyebrows. The moment he saw her, his tense expression showed signs of relief.

While she was looking at Feng Yi, Feng Yi was also looking at her silently.

He stepped forward and reached out to hug Wen Jianning tightly, and she didn't dodge, but quietly buried her head in his arms, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief imperceptibly after finding that she did not resist his touch.

The two have not seen each other for more than two years, and now they really feel like they are in a different world.

It was only as soon as they sat down to talk that they realized that they were much calmer than they had imagined.

After entering the house, Feng Yi poured her a cup of tea, and a plate of pastries was placed on the table, which was the kind of dim sum she loved to eat in the past, but Wen Jianning almost didn't remember their tastes.

Feng Yi pulled her to sit down and didn't rush to speak: "You rushed all the way over, you should be hungry too, eat some snacks to cushion your stomach first." ”

She hurried all the way up the hill, and was indeed a little hungry.

Wen Jianning hesitated for a moment, but still picked up a piece of pastry and ate it in small bites.

So the situation in the house became Wen Jianning eating snacks and talking to Feng Yi at the same time. And he didn't dislike it, occasionally raising his hand to help her wipe the residue from the corner of her mouth.

He didn't mention how he worried about Wen Jianning in the past two years, and what kind of life he lived, but simply talked about how he found her, and the rest of the time was more about listening to Wen Jianning tell about some of the things that happened in the past two years.

Last winter, shortly after Jianxiu's death, the Japanese army became more and more scrutinized, and they were almost found several times when they entered the church to search. Seeing that Wan couldn't bear the hardship, he secretly stole antiques several times and went to the pawnshop to exchange money. She was so eager that she caught the attention of someone who cared about her, and was once almost followed directly to the church.

In order to avoid the increasingly strict search in the city, and in order not to implicate the nuns and children of the church, she disguised herself and took Jianwan to this Taoist temple in the suburbs for refuge. She couldn't be idle, so she simply disguised herself as a man, helped with odd jobs to earn some money to barely make ends meet, and sometimes came over to help Jianwan.

Seeing that Wan wanted to run away, but she didn't dare to go out to inquire about the situation, so she had to hide in the Taoist temple and live in a daze. As for Wen Jianning, she didn't say what she thought, she only said that she couldn't eat enough, she didn't have enough money for the ferry ticket, and there was no reliable person to help find out the news, so she didn't dare to take risks, so she had to go on like this day after day.

When Feng Yi heard her say this, he silently took Wen Jianning's hand.

In the past, Wen Jianning's hands were slender and fair, only near the middle finger of her right hand there was a callus left by holding a pen all year round, and at first glance it was the hand of Shuangwuwen ink, but now her hands are rough, even the palms have a thick layer of calluses, the knuckles are red, swollen and thick, and there are some deformations, and there are even traces left by frostbite in winter.

Feng Yi put the seal in her palm and closed it gently: "Put it away, don't lose it again." ”

When Wen Jianning saw this seal, he was in a complicated mood for a while, and it took a long time to tell him about the original situation.

The money she had with her had long since run out, and even the pens she carried with her were pawned out for money. In the end, only the Browning pistol that Zhou Yinghuang gave her that day and the seal that Feng Yi carved for her were left.

She didn't dare to hide the gun on her body, so she found a place to bury it. As for the seal, Wen Jianning was afraid that he would lose it, so he deliberately wore it with a red rope and hung it around his neck, but he never wanted to be seen by Jianwan, so he started the idea of a seal again.

Although she couldn't recognize what material the seal was made of, she felt that it should at least be a valuable object, so when Wen Jianning was unconscious, she secretly cut the rope and took it to the pawnshop for a small amount of money.

When Wen Jianning found out that she was going to redeem it, the other party offered a price that she couldn't afford, and she could only give up. After coming back, the two sisters naturally quarreled about it, and Wen Jianning reduced the number of times she came to her.

Occasionally, when they come back, the two will inevitably quarrel again.

Feng Yi only said when he heard this: "It's just a stone, where is the truth of noble things and sluts." If you can exchange some money to fill your stomach, it is worth it. I don't blame you for losing it, I'm afraid it will tie you up. ”

After Wen Jianning heard this, he just lowered his head and stretched out his hand to hug him: "Okay, let's not talk about this." ”

Now that they have been reunited, the only thing left to think about is how to get out of Hong Kong Island.
