Chapter Thirty-Seven: Encountering a Reporter

In the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China, February 26, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

Today is February 26, 1939, and there are still more than six years to go before the war of resistance ends. Zhou Min thought silently in her heart, she didn't know if she could survive in the past six years, she didn't know how much she could do, and she didn't know if she could "go home".

"Sister Zhou, we've arrived. Looking at Zhou Min in a daze, Xiaoxue called softly.

"In the future, call me sister directly, remove Zhou, and forget how many times you tell you, it's true. Zhou Min came back to his senses and tapped Xiaoxue's forehead with a finger.

Early this morning, the second elder of the Zhou family took Zhou Min to the hospital for examination, and now the car has arrived at the door of an American hospital.

"Smith, it's been a long time!"

"Zhou, you are a busy man, the most famous entrepreneur in Shanghai, it is not easy to meet you. ”

Zhou Min looked at the man who was talking to his father, and felt that he didn't look like a doctor, but like a comedian. It is somewhat similar to the famous comedy master Chaplin, but he is very tall, about 180cm. The hair is curly and looks unkempt, the beard is very thick, and the yellow-brown hair is slightly bald.

"Sister, this foreigner is just strange, with blue eyes and yellow hair, not to mention, and he is still called dead. Xiaoxue muttered to Zhou Min in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, what is dead or not, that's his name" Zhou Min said and couldn't help laughing.

"Minmin, Xiaoxue, come over here and say hello to Uncle Smith. Seeing the two muttering, Zhou Yaozu coughed and said.

"Hello, Uncle Smith, it's an honor to meet you for the first time. Zhou Min stretched out his hand and said generously, while Xiaoxue hid behind Zhou Min a little shyly and nodded gently at Smith.

"Ohmygod, you don't know me anymore, it seems that you really have amnesia, I'll check you in a minute. ”

Zhou Min, who was lying on the bed, felt like a pig, about to be dismantled.

Smith listens left and knocks right. After nearly half an hour of examination, it was finally concluded that Zhou Min suffered a head concussion and amnesia due to the impact of the shell. The left chest injury recovered well and left no sequelae.

"Miss Zhou, your memory may be restored quickly, or it may be very slow, this process may be a day, maybe a year, maybe ten years, and the memory stimulation will only be restored if you go through the special scenes of the past. Also, your trauma recovery is good, the wound is well bandaged, and it looks professional. ”

"Uncle Smith, my wound was bandaged by Xiaoxue, who helped as a nurse on the front line. ”

"Oh, it's unbelievable that such a young child has been on the front line, and the bandaging is very professional, she deserves a better education. Hearing that Xiaoxue had worked as a nurse on the front line, Smith's eyes widened and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hehe, Smith, I discussed it with my wife, and decided to send Xiaoxue to study in medical school, as a foreign professor in the college, you have to take care of it more later. ”

"Zhou, don't worry, what kind of friendship we have. I will create the best doctor in China. ”

Xiaoxue looked at Smith, who was swearing, and felt a little resistant in her heart, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that this middle-aged foreigner looked like a monster.

"In that case, we will take our leave, and hope that you will come to the house often. Zhou Yaozu politely invited.

"Zhou, don't worry, I'll go when I have time, your tea is superb, verygood. ”

"Dean, no, no, a lot of reporters are blocking the door, and they are about to squeeze in, and they can't stop it. A young doctor ran into the room sweating profusely and said breathlessly.

Several people in the room looked at each other for a moment, and hurriedly went out to look.

At this time, the reporter had already come to the corridor, and when he saw Zhou Yaozu, Zhou Min and others came out, they immediately surrounded them, kept taking pictures, and asked nonchalantly: "Mr. Zhou, may I ask why Miss Zhou appeared in the base area of the Eighth Route Army,"

"Miss Zhou, how are you doing now?, Miss Zhou?"

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think of Miss Zhou and the Eighth Route Army's ** together?"

"Miss Zhou, who is the person you brought back, and what does it have to do with **?"

Zhou Min looked at the reporters who suddenly rushed up, a little dazed, although he had often seen this kind of scene on TV before, but when he experienced it himself, he was still shocked. It's as if there are countless bees in front of you suddenly like she used.

"Everyone, everyone, don't squeeze, Miss Zhou's body hasn't replied yet, please be quiet, this is the hospital, please don't make a loud noise. Smith shouted loudly.

The reporters present were confused for a while before they fell silent.

"Everyone, if you have any questions, come one by one, and the little girl and I will answer them one by one. But shall we change places and not disturb the patient's rest? Smith, please find an empty room. ”

"Listen to Mr. Zhou, let's go. Zhou Yaozu's words were agreed by reporters.

Smith ushered everyone into a conference room.

"Sit down, everybody, and ask if you have anything to ask. ”

As soon as he heard Zhou Yaozu say this, a male reporter wearing a hat stood up first and asked, "Mr. Zhou, hello." I am a reporting reporter, and now it is rumored that Ling Ai has returned from the base of the Eighth Route Army in Hebei, I don't know if this news is true. In addition, I wonder if the rumors that Miss Zhou has amnesia are true?"

"Mr. reporter, what you said is true, the little girl has indeed just returned from Hebei, and is currently in a state of amnesia due to the injury caused by the Japanese sweep in Hebei. ”

"It turned out to be true"

"Miss Zhou has really been to the base of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Oh my God, she caught up with the sweep"

After listening to Zhou Yaozu's words, the reporters began to communicate in a whisper, exclaiming from time to time.

"Is there any other reporter who has a problem, if not, I will take my little girl home to rest. ”

"Mr. Zhou, please wait, I am a reporter from Shanghai Daily, I want to ask Miss Zhou a question, may I ask Miss Zhou, why did you go to the Eighth Route Army base in Hebei, how did you get to Hebei, did anyone help you?"

Zhou Min looked at the female reporter who asked this question, feeling a little helpless, in fact, she herself wanted to know how to get to Qinghe, Hebei.

"I'm sorry, but I can't answer that question. As soon as Zhou Min said this, all the reporters were stunned, not understanding what she meant?

"Miss Zhou doesn't want to answer, is there any reason?" the female reporter asked.

"Of course, there is a reason, because I don't know how I got to Hebei. I have amnesia. Zhou Min replied with a calm and nervous expression.

"Miss Zhou, is it your excuse for amnesia? Is it for what reason it is inconvenient for you to say?" the female reporter asked a little aggressively.

Hearing this, Zhou Min couldn't help frowning, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

"Madam, pay attention to your wording, what is an excuse, for you, I don't need any excuse. You and I don't know each other, but I am here to give you an interview to support your work. Not for you to be confused here. I didn't have any inconvenience, and after Dr. Smith's confirmation, I had no doubt about my amnesia. Please don't ask this kind of question again, otherwise you will be suspicious of the most authoritative doctor in Shanghai, and now you can ask one last question. Zhou Min's words were full of gunpowder, which made everyone present stunned. Zhou Yaozu was also shocked by Zhou Min's momentum, and felt that his daughter had really changed.

Dr. Smith also cooperated and said, "What Miss Zhou said is true, after my diagnosis, she did have amnesia due to a brain concussion. Please do not doubt my medical skills. ”

"Miss Zhou, I am a reporter from the Central News Agency in Shanghai, I heard that you brought back a person when you returned to Shanghai this time, what is the identity of this person, why did you bring her back? And what is the relationship between you and the Eighth Route Army?"

Zhou Min was angry now, and he didn't say angrily to the reporter of China's largest newspaper: "This gentleman is from the Central News Agency, I have heard your reports in the base area of the Eighth Route Army, and the authenticity needs to be improved. Obviously, there is a losing battle here, and the broadcast on the radio is indeed a strategic retreat.

As for your question, the person I brought back is called Wu Xue, an ordinary person from Qinghe, Hebei Province, who helped rescue the wounded in the Eighth Route Army, and the reason why I brought her back was because she found me in the ruins and saved me. As a thank you, I brought her to Shanghai in the hope that she would receive a good education, she is only 16 years old this year, just a little girl, there is no need to be on the front line. I treat her as my own sister.

As for my relationship with the Eighth Route Army, I was helpless and did not remember who I was, and when I was wounded under the enemy's artillery fire, they treated me and took me in. It's a relationship of gratitude. I'm thankful to them, and also, I don't believe in any doctrine, so I'm okay with **. ”

After saying this, the reporter below wrote brush-by-brush, and the camera also took pictures, while Zhou Min pulled Xiaoxue away and passed between them.

After returning to the car, Xiaoxue said to Zhou Min: "Sister, you were too imposing just now, and those people were shocked by you." Her little face flushed with excitement.

Zhou Min smiled and thought: My sister is also from the 21st century, I haven't seen anything, I want to set my sister up, no way, hum.

After a while, Zhou Yaozu also walked out, got into the car, looked at Zhou Min for a while, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of being my daughter, haha." ”
