Chapter 133
Shanghai Beach has become a mess of porridge, and Jane still doesn't know it, she should sleep, eat, and do what she wants. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hua Ting's biological clock is neither early nor late, and it just wakes up at half past eight, and as soon as I open my eyes, I meet a pair of dark eyes.
"Morning, Sister Flower."
There is a cyan stubble on the chin, and the flower listens to reach out and touch it, and the slag is scum.
"Early." The corners of her mouth curled, and her gaze fell on the place where her fingers caressed, "You say, which grows faster, beard or hair?" ”
was asked a biological question early in the morning, and Jian was somewhat caught off guard, but fortunately, he was a scholar, "It must be a beard, Sister Hua still wants to stump me?" ”
Hua listened to the student's thoughtful words: "Why? ”
Jane also wanted to laugh, but seeing her rigorous study, her cheeks tensed, and she replied seriously: "The blood vessels that supply the growth of the beard are more abundant than the blood vessels at the root of the hair, and it is easier to get nutrients, coupled with the stimulation of androgens, the beard naturally grows faster than the hair." ”
"Oh......" Hua Ting's tone was fluttering, but she admired it in her heart, "I really want to be a classmate with a student like you." ”
He pinched her chin, "You want to cheat on the exam, right?" ”
"Haha, smart!"
Jian Yihuan's hand on her waist slid lightly on the thin clothes, wanting to touch it, but she kept refraining.
Hua Ting subconsciously held her breath and stared at him intently.
Jian Yi didn't move at first, but after a few seconds, she suddenly changed from lying on her side to lying flat, with her arms resting behind her head, looking at the snow-white ceiling, as if in deep thought.
Hua Ting propped her elbows on the head of the bed, supported her cheeks, raised her perspective and continued to stare at him, "What are you thinking?" ”
He glanced over to her, and suddenly a hand behind his head reached out, passed through her neck, and pulled it inward on her shoulder.
Hua Ting was taken into his arms at once, and his cheeks were pressed against his warm collarbone through a layer of clothing, lying on his chest.
Jane also hugged her and paused slightly, which seemed to be the answer after thinking, "I actually just want to live this kind of ordinary life with you, don't think about anything, get up for breakfast, read the newspaper, tease cats and dogs, etc." ”
"I want to, too." Hua Ting responded honestly.
Jane also gently stroked her soft hair, "But I was born in the wrong era. ”
Hua Ting rubbed on his neck socket, and shrunk into his arms, "If you were born in my time, the kind of life you want can be easily achieved." ”
"Sister Hua," Jane looked at her with her eyelids down, "take me with you when you go back." ”
But she didn't say a word.
Jian Yi lowered her head and kissed her lips on her forehead, "Huh? A low question.
Hua Ting's lips were tightly closed, and the corners of her mouth twitched to the side, and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult." "I've watched too many time-traveling dramas, aren't all the endings the same?
"You can fly to me, why can't I go to you?"
"Uh...... I can't answer this question for the time being, but ......" Her voice was very soft, and every syllable was spoken slowly, Jian Yi's heart was like a deep quiet night sky, and every time she dropped a word, a star lit up in his heart, "If I can take you away, I will definitely take you away!" If I can't take you with me, then I won't either. ”
***
Jian Maosheng's assassination has not yet ended, and Bai Qihong's revenge plan has not had time to be launched, and the rumbling artillery fire in the distance exploded in his ears with a sudden attitude, and sporadic screams, the gunfights in the past few days are getting closer and closer; I couldn't sleep at night, and occasionally the shells came closer, and I could feel the slight vibration of the floor of the mansion, the pendulum of the table clock swaying back and forth unsteadily, and the old dust falling from the walls.
The door was pushed open with a "bang", Lu Yu walked in quickly, his expression was hurried, and there was a strong smell of gunsmoke on his body, he took off his hat, didn't care about his messy hair, only patted the dust and dirt on the brim of his hat, and rushed to Hua Ting and Jian Yi, and said with a fluctuating breath: "Old Jiang ordered you to leave in three days." ”
"Now that the Japanese are running rampant, do you want us to go now?" Jane also got up from the couch, her feet still a little lame.
"Well, not only you, but Mr. Chen and Miss Shi are also going with you," Lu Yu said, picking up a few of Jian Yi's cups, tilting his head and pouring a few sips and continuing, "Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai took a night plane to Hong Kong, and it is said that they also brought more than a dozen land deeds, and it seems that they plan to stay there for a long time." ”
"Heh, he's always done with his own things." When she thought of Mrs. Bai, she was not annoyed when she heard it, how could she say that Mrs. Bai still had to follow him for the rest of her life, and she would go wherever it was safe.
"Where is Old Jiang going to arrange for us to go?" Jane also asked with a frown.
"Beiping."
A cannon rang out, making a dull hum, Lu Yu reacted at this time, hurriedly took out a few tickets from his pocket, and put them on the coffee table in front of Hua Ting: "The war is tight, I can only get a ferry ticket in three days, and tonight is the best time to go." ”
Hua Ting's eyelids trembled, and she couldn't resist this sudden change at all.
Lu Yu listened to the movement outside, and quickly walked over to look out the window, feeling a little headache for the current situation, "The concession should be safe for the time being, and you can hold out until the third day." ”
"What about you?" When the war came, Hua Ting was not afraid at all, at most he was bombed by Japanese military planes, what else could he do?
"Naturally, I'm here to stay." When Lu Yu said this, there seemed to be a pair of wings on his back, which was so dazzling that he couldn't speak.
"By the way," Hua Ting suddenly thought, "what about Chen Shu?" ”
"I don't know, there's no news from him."
Hua Ting lowered his eyes, raised his index finger and rubbed the tip of his nose, hooked a pair of cotton slippers on his toes, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Even you, this kid, chose to stay and fight side by side with everyone," Jian Yi said with a solemn face, tightening his eyebrows, "Why should I go?" ”
Lu Yu teased, "Do you think Lao Jiang arranged for you to go to Beiping to enjoy happiness?" ”
Hua Ting suddenly leaned closer, stretched out his right hand, moved his fingertips on the ticket, opened the ticket, took a closer look, lifted his eyelids and glanced at Lu Yu, pressed his fingers hard, and lowered his body back, his words were clean and indisputable, "There is still one left." ”
Jian Yi looked at the four tickets on the table and knew it. Lu Yu also understood what she meant, and wrinkled his eyebrows with some embarrassment, "No way, there is no news from him, and I can't contact him." ”
"But ......," Lu Yu added, "With that kid's ability, it's not difficult to go back to Hong Kong." ”
After he said this, he put on his hat again, straightened the brim of his hat and said, "I'll go first, and I'll pick you up in three days." ”
The door slammed shut again.
The mansion was very quiet, there were not a few subordinates, and they fled as soon as the war was ignited, Chen Huanlin simply resigned all the people below, leaving only a 60-year-old mother waiting by his side.
The time on the clock ticked by, the watch hands made a faint but uninterrupted sound, and Hua Tingtong sat in the silent hall, and no one spoke again.
Nowadays, the situation is becoming more and more severe, according to legend, the Chinese army is preparing to evacuate, Shanghai is about to fall, and the concession is also to be investigated, Chen Hanlin urged everyone to quickly pack their luggage and prepare to evacuate at any time.
The war came so fast that everything caught people off guard.
Three days later, Lu Yu arrived as promised.
The moment he raised his foot to get into the car, Jian Yi raised his hand and held Hua Ting's wrist, his warm palm was close to her pulse, and he said softly, "Sister Hua, from now on, you will follow me every step of the way." ”
Hua Ting's eyes slowly wandered on this pale face, and after a few seconds, he nodded, smiled at him reassuringly, patted the back of his hand, and said, "Of course, where you go, I will go." ”
The car traveled on the intersecting road, the road in the concession was very quiet, the business front in the past was closed a lot, and there were few pedestrians, and occasionally the servants of large families came out and went straight to the rice and noodle shop, stockpiled a few bags of grain and hurried back.
Hua Tingtong and Jian Yi and Chen Huanlin sat in the back row, Lu Yu drove the car, and another brother with a gun sat in the passenger seat. There was silence in the car, and she turned her head to look out the window at the western-style shops that passed slowly, the neatly arranged bricks and tiles on the ground, and the sycamores on both sides of the road that were about to lose their leaves, and they used such a quiet and empty gesture to bid her farewell, without the slightest nostalgia.
"What about love?" Jane also asked.
"Dock rendezvous." Lu Yuli finished answering.
The car slowly stopped, not far away there was a noisy and boiling voice, Hua Ting looked up and saw that a row of sharp wooden fences had been erected at the boundary of the concession, guarding several groups of foreign soldiers, and hundreds of Chinese people were piled up outside, and the waves of people were constantly rushing to the wooden fence, crying and shouting desperately to rush into the concession. The crowd was too uncontrollable, and the foreign soldiers had already shot more than a dozen of them, and the corpses were lying on the wooden fence with blood, and all that was left on their faces was numb horror and paranoia for survival. The crowd scrambled forward, their soles trampling their fellow citizens, the air filled the air with the disgusting smell of blood or the thick smell of gunsmoke.
At first, a yellow-skinned mother, dressed in a tattered gray cloth dress, protected the little girl who was crying in her arms, and wanted to send her through the gap in the wooden fence to the concession, but the girl's cry alarmed the soldiers, and the foreign gun was aimed at her head, killing her with one shot. The mother held the child's eyes almost popping out, and opened her mouth a few times with a dumb voice, and it took a long time for her to hiss and wail, and she was trampled by the person behind her in an instant.
Hua Ting's hand shook violently, all the colors in the crowd faded, only the silent black and white, like a silent pantomime, the horror of the distortion of the facial features was magnified more bluntly, and the insignificance of life and the powerlessness of survival quickly collided, which made her heart ache.
Jane also held her hand tightly.
She looked up at him, and a stream of heat poured out of her eyes. (To be continued.) )
