Chapter 480: Gourd
Mother only asked someone to write to Fang Fei, presumably Fang Fei should have news back in four or five days, she must be in front of her mother to intercept the letter, it is Wanchun who carefully instructed Li Hui: "The family is now less manpower, and there are many things, you should be more careful, if someone sends a letter into the house, you must give it to me as soon as possible."

Li Hui nodded and agreed, half-bowed and said, "Fourth Miss, the people who were sent out in the morning have all returned, saying that they are the ones who have not seen the third young grandmother." ”
"She's sincere about leaving, how could she let us find it so easily."
Wan Chun still remembers that Zhou Xiang deliberately went to Jinling from the old capital in order to send a letter to her mother. She has always been affectionate and righteous, not to mention that it was her husband who fell victim this time, how could she sit idly by?
Wan Chun sighed at her chivalry, and was worried about her situation, thinking of the rumors outside, so she instructed Li Hui again: "Later, you will go to Zhang's house to find out, when will the fifth master of the Zhang family go out of the city, if he wants to go to Jinzhou, the day of pinching is coming soon." I'll write a telegram later, you try to send it to Jinzhou, and see if you can receive it from Jinzhou. ”
If he can receive it, I only hope that he can rescue Zhou Xiang again while rescuing Ji Yuan, and make sure that the two of them are safe and sound.
"Oh, by the way, and the Liu family, you should also inquire carefully and ask where the eldest young master of their family is."
Wan Chun was not a believer in gods, but her rebirth made her attitude towards gods extremely religious. Now that her brother and sister-in-law have left Jinzhou, she has no choice but to quietly serve her ailing grandfather, elderly mother and young nephew at home. In addition, they can only pray to the gods day and night, praying that he will bless Ji Yuan and them safely.
Not to mention how turbulent it was under the calm eaves of the Li family, Zhou Xiang changed Ji Yuan's clothes, shoes and hats, pretended to be a man, avoided the Li family, boarded the train to the north from the railway station, and finally arrived in Suizhong after three days and two nights. Because of the war ahead, even trains departing from Jinzhou are rare, let alone entering Jinzhou from other places.
No one is stupid enough to go to the battlefield and die.
She could only get off the bus from Suizhong, on the way or on foot, or take a donkey cart, or spend the night, and finally arrived at Huludao in Jinzhou recently.
Huludao is located in the southwest of Liaoning, adjacent to Jinzhou in the east, Shanhaiguan in the west, choking the throat inside and outside the customs, known as the reputation of the first city in foreign countries, because there is a tower mountain in the island, it is difficult to attack a guard, it is still the world of Zhangjiajun to this day.
When Zhou Xiang entered the city, perhaps under the influence of the Jinzhou battlefield in the west, Huludao City seemed very depressed, and a few figures could be seen sporadically on the streets.
Zhou Xiang involuntarily tightened the hat on his head, suppressed most of his eyes, and walked into a hotel with his head slightly lowered.
She had been on the mountain road all night, and by this time she was tired and tired, and she needed a meal to rest.
The store has not seen customers for two or three days, and it is not easy to send one to the door, so it is natural to have some good hospitality.
He was busy inside and out, very attentive, went around Zhou Xiang, and brought her tea: "Brother is not a local, right?" It doesn't sound like an accent. ”
Zhou Xiang suppressed his throat and muttered, but did not speak.
The shopkeeper said, "Is my brother coming to Huludao to visit relatives or passing by?" If you are visiting relatives, I advise you to go back as soon as possible, the Japanese devils have hit us at the gate of the mountain, and they can't afford to stay for a long time. ”
Zhou Xiang took a sip of tea, and saw that the shopkeeper knew a lot of news, so he asked him: "Aren't the defenders of the Zhang family still here?" Since the Japanese are going to fight, why is the city so peaceful and unguarded? ”
The shopkeeper sighed and said: "Brother doesn't know, don't talk about vigilance, as long as these soldiers don't run, it's a great thing." Right now, I'm just looking at the peace, and I can't tell when it will be windy and rainy. I can't bear to inherit my family, or I would have left here early in the morning. ”
"No matter how much inheritance there is, it is more important than human life, if there is difficulty, you can go."
Zhou Xiang couldn't help but persuade the shopkeeper to say a few words, but before the words landed, he suddenly heard a noise on the street, saying that the Japanese devils had entered the city.
Zhou Xiang was shocked, stood up and was about to run out, but he didn't want the store to grab her and said, "Brother, is he crazy?" If you don't rush to hide at this time, what else do you want to go out for? Quick, quick, follow me to the back. As he spoke, he grabbed Zhou Xiang's arm, and hurriedly ordered Xiao Er to close the door, while leading her to the back.
Zhou Xiang could only hear a burst of people turning on their backs outside, and there were running and screaming everywhere, she was angry and anxious, and she didn't know the situation outside, so she couldn't help cursing: "Are the defenders of the Zhang family all wine bags and rice bags?" Don't talk about closing the city gates, but I want to open the door to thieves, this group of waste! ”
The shopkeeper was anxious like an ant on a hot pot at that time, busy packing his bags, and when he heard her scolding, he couldn't help but say: "It's useless for my brother to scold, those defenders will bully us honest people for a while, and they collect rent on weekdays but are diligent, and when it comes to war, there is no one." Originally, he was expecting General Li to be able to resist in Jinzhou for a while, but he didn't expect that General Li would be useless now. ”
General Lee? Ji Yuan?
Yes, if Ji Yuan was in Jinzhou, he would definitely not ask the Japanese soldiers to come to Huludao, could it be Ji Yuan......
No, no, someone as smart as Ji Yuan will definitely be fine, okay.
Zhou Xiang was stunned, the shopkeeper packed up the soft and other things, and when he looked back, he saw that she was still standing upright in the room, and couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid it's too late for this time, let's go, let's hide in the cellar." ”
So saying, the man bent down and went to the backyard.
Zhou Xiang didn't immediately follow him, but went straight to the lobby in front, leaned against the door panel, looked out through the crack, and watched a group of Japanese privates walk by with guns on the street in front of him.
She was startled and hurriedly took a step back, and then Fang hurried to the backyard.
The cellar mentioned by the store was originally used for radish and cabbage in the winter cellar, but now in the beginning of summer, the vegetables in the cellar have long been emptied.
Zhou Xiang didn't know how long she would have to hide like this, she just thought that when the Japanese soldiers passed, she still had to go out, find an opportunity to go out of the city, go north to Jinzhou, and be sure to see Ji Yuan.
Fortunately, these Japanese soldiers also experienced a tough battle before, and finally fought Jinzhou, and when they arrived at Huludao, they saw that the city gate was wide open, and they entered the city without spending a single soldier, so they were naturally very happy, and they were all busy eating and resting.
The people in the city have already left, and the people who stayed behind don't know where they have hidden, Wanchun only heard the sound of slamming the door, and the sound of the doors and windows shattering, and suddenly remembered the sound of footsteps in his ears.
It was the Japanese who came in.
