Chapter 22: The Thunder That Stops the Clouds and Destroys the Wind (2)

Jing Yi gently stroked the soft and smooth otter skin in front of her.

The people did not come in, and the noise gradually stopped, and they must have gone somewhere else.

The shopkeeper Xu said softly: "It seems that I know that the young grandmother is here, so I won't come in to disturb me." ”

Jing Yirang put away the otter skin, put on gloves, and said, "I should go back too." Don't delay your business. ”

Footsteps rang out on the stairs, and the guys saluted and called out to the boss. When Jingyi looked up, the boss of the Evergreen, a Russian Fei Wen, came down from upstairs. Fei Wen was extremely fat, and he had to pant every two steps. He saw Jing Yi stop first and call her Mrs. Tao with a smile on her face, and greeted her. He speaks fluent Chinese and has a slight Northwest accent. Jingyi couldn't help but think of her teacher Anna. However, Teacher Anna has maintained her aristocratic posture at all times, and Fei Wen, a businessman, has become very Chinese in everything from clothing to speech, and she is still very ...... He creaked like a staircase with every step he took, and he was polite to Jingyi as he walked, and when he came downstairs, he was already out of breath.

Jingyi seemed to see a shadow flickering above the stairs. When she looked again, the stairs were empty, and there was no one, not even a cat. She also politely had a few words with Fei Wen, took out the checkbook and signed it and handed it to the shopkeeper Xu.

The shopkeeper Xu checked the number and put away the checks.

Seeing that she was leaving, Fei Wen personally sent her out and said, "Thank you Mrs. Tao for taking care of the trumpet business." In the future, please take care of Mrs. Tao. ”

Jingyi nodded, and when she went out, she saw a few people standing on the street, as if she was looking over this side inadvertently. She immediately understood the identities of these men, and thought to herself that she would have to get out of here quickly.

Fei Wen said with a smile: "Recently, there have been a lot of temporary inspections, and the trumpet often has to deal with one or two checks during the day, which is really inconvenient." ”

Jingyi didn't say anything, said goodbye to him, and walked towards his car. He didn't take two steps before he saw the plainclothes people quickly walking towards Fei Wen. Fei Wen smiled, casually trying to talk to them. Jingyi walked, and suddenly felt bad in his heart. Sure enough, the moment those plainclothes and Fei Wen walked to the door of the Evergreen, they pushed Fei Wen into the door together, looking extremely fierce. The guys panicked when they saw this, and the shopkeeper Xu hurriedly followed up with a long shirt...... The door was shut, and the police gathered outside.

"What's going on?" Qiu Wei's frightened face turned pale.

Jingyi was calm, looked at her, and said, "Let's go." ”

Favin's shouts could be heard in the store, mixed with the more stern and ferocious voices of the others, and something could be heard smashed, apparently in a mess.

Qiu Wei urged Jingyi to go quickly. Jingyi quickened her pace and walked in the direction of her car. Uncle Zhang and his entourage were standing next to the car, looking at the Evergreen, and when they saw her coming, they hurriedly prepared the car keys. Jingyi came over with the car key and saw a man in military uniform getting out of the jeep not far away, and saluted her when he got out of the car.

"Ma'am." He shouted.

Jingyi nodded.

Listening to the chaotic sounds in the store, she asked, "What is this?" ”

The man said to Jingyi: "We are only responsible for the periphery, and the specific situation is not clear. For the sake of safety, the wife should leave quickly. Everything is fine when you get out of the encirclement, please rest assured, wife. ”

A gunshot rang out, and there was a sudden silence all around, and after a while, shouts were heard from the Evergreen...... Jingyi had already walked to the side of the car, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel her heart and turned her head to take a look. The policeman standing in front of the door did not move, as if nothing had happened in the store.

Qiu Wei was almost trembling, and tried her best to calmly push Jingyi to let her get into the car quickly.

Jingyi took the car keys and walked to the convertible. Qiu Wei was not at ease and wanted to walk with her. Jingyi waved her hand and let her get into Uncle Zhang's car.

"Miss, be careful." Qiu Wei panicked inexplicably. This is not a place to stay for a long time, she watched Jingyi get into the car, smiled at her, and hurriedly got into the car. While asking Uncle Zhang to drive quickly, he looked at Jingyi from the rear window - and quickly started when he got into the car. Uncle Zhang didn't drive far before he was stopped by the police in front of him. Uncle Zhang had already accumulated a belly of fire today, pulled his head out of the window, handed the ID he was carrying to the police, pointed to the direction of the front of the car and said, "Look at this license plate." ”

The policeman looked at him and said, "Shangfeng has instructions, the party has been rampant recently, and no matter who the passerby is, it must be investigated." ”

Uncle Zhang sneered and said, "That's it." You don't hesitate to check. ”

Uncle Zhang looked ahead, this level was obviously set up temporarily, and there were not many people. However, the heavily armed soldiers were on the sidelines, and it was quite bluffing to look at.

The policemen who set up the card looked at each other, and they all knew that the prime minister's domestic slave was a seven-grade official, and if he stopped it, he couldn't afford to provoke it. They returned the documents to Uncle Zhang, looked at the car hurriedly, and waved him over. Uncle Zhang asked casually: "Endless investigation, what is this investigation?" ”

A policeman frowned and said, "What do you do by asking so much?" Don't hurry up yet. ”

Another said, "This leather shop is a hiding place for smuggled medicines......

"It's worth such a big battle, why don't you go to the battle?" Uncle Zhang snorted and stepped on the accelerator.

Qiu Wei was sitting in the car, feeling uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do. She kept looking at the convertible behind Jingyiβ€”two policemen stood beside the car, bending over to talk to her, looking respectful. It's just that the seven young grandmothers of the dignified Tao family also have to be interrogated, which makes people look uncomfortable. It's no wonder that Uncle Zhang is not angry with the police......

"I'm sorry, Seventh Young Grandma, where the responsibility lies, please understand." A policeman said to Jingyi.

Jingyi nodded and said, "This is natural." It's just that I didn't have any documents with me. ”

The policeman said, "You don't have to get papers." Please get off the bus, and we'll check inside the car. ”

Jingyi said: "This is easy, I will lower the canopy." ”

As she spoke, she found the button to lift the canopy. Turn left and right, and the canopy will not move. She frowned, a little impatient, and the policeman saw her like this, and was about to open the door, when he heard someone shouting, "What are you doing?!" ”

"Captain!" The two policemen immediately stood upright.

The tall captain jumped off the horse, raised the horsewhip with an angry face, asked them to retreat, and came over and said to Jingyi: "Mrs. Tao, offend." ”

As he spoke, he swept into the car, and Jing Yi was looking at him. He took a step back, lowered his gaze, and said, "Mrs. Tao can go." ”

Jingyi asked slowly, "Have you checked it?" ”

"Yes. Mrs. Tao please. The captain reached out and made a gesture of release.

Jingyi pressed the canopy, slowly put it down, glanced at them, and said, "Since I have checked it, then I won't get out of the car." ”

"Please." The captain was still bowing his head.

Jingyi stepped on the accelerator. The level ahead has been released, and her car is not driving fast, and it is only after the level that she raises a little speed, surpassing Zhang Bo's car. She just honked the horn, and the car sped off. Uncle Zhang didn't expect that at the fork in the road, he was supposed to turn east and go home, but Grandma Qishao turned west. He braked suddenly, turned around and chased after him, but the white convertible was long gone......

Jingyi drove the car along the Yellow River for a long time, and parked in a secluded place.

She clutched the steering wheel tightly, sweating on her back.

It had just rained, and the Yellow River was turbulent. Jingyi listened to the sound of the surging river, and asked astringently, "Where are you going?" ”

The Yellow River is quiet, with only a few figures in the distance.

The sheepskin raft floated on the water, and the helmsman of the oars carefully guided it forward. With the rushing water, the sheepskin rafts rise and fall, and it looks terrifying.

She didn't look back, but opened the door and got out of the car. Hearing the sound, she turned around and looked at the man who got out of the car-the long shirt was crumpled under the back seat of the car, and her temperament was still calm, although she had just hid in that small space, she must have been embarrassed...... He walked over, looked at Jingyi, and said, "It's okay here." Thank you very much. ”

Jing Yi looked at Fang Shaokang steadily, and walked past him silently. Back in the car, she stood down.

Fang Shaokang didn't hear the movement of the car leaving, and when he turned around to look, Jingyi was standing still holding the car door. Her thin figure is especially fragile in the open wilderness...... She turned back and looked at him.

"Meng Yuan," she looked at the scar on his face and jumped down as if she had been electrocuted, "Hurry up." ”

He stood motionless as if he had been nailed under his feet. She certainly said something that didn't just tell him to go now. He smiled and said, "I'm not leaving." ”

Jingyi said, "I know, you won't go alone. But you have to go fast. ”

He came closer, looked at her, and said gently, "I haven't heard anyone call me that for a few years." It's a real name...... I know you'll recognize me. ”

Jingyi looked at him.

The moment he appeared in front of her, she was convinced that he was not Fang Shaokang but Dai Mengyuan. No one could have the eyes of his, nor the look of determination and solitude in his eyes.

"I'm not here to catch up with you, Meng Yuan." She said with a cold face.

Dai Mengyuan smiled slightly, and the hideous scar on his face twisted.

Jingyi said: "No matter what you came here for, you must be clear, if you don't leave, there will be no time." If you hadn't met me today, I'm afraid you would have fallen with the Evergreen. There are quite a few new arrests, so you have to be careful. Not everyone is as strong as you. ”

"I understand. But I should believe my comrades. And I won't leave until my work is done. Dai Mengyuan said.

Jingyi nodded. Not a surprise at all. She'd seen him in prison, and she'd seen him in danger. He was fearless.

"You may pay a heavier price." She said.

"No matter how heavy the price is, it is not terrible, as long as it can be successful. During this time, the Tao Department not only destroyed the base areas under its jurisdiction one by one, but also expelled the remaining parties and forced them to transfer. In the past, I thought that Tao Xiang was a good hand at large-scale group operations, but I didn't expect that he was also good at guerrilla tactics. Dai Mengyuan turned around and turned his back to Jingyi.

Jing Yi heard him mention Tao Xianglai, although his tone was light, but he couldn't hide his coldness and sarcasm. She only felt that the thorns were all in her heart, but she didn't have time to ache here. "That's true," she said. However, in my opinion, Fei Yuming's large-scale manhunt in the city is more destructive. ”

She saw his clenched hands, his muscles exposed, and it was clear that he was angry and almost uncontrollable. She even felt that the power contained in his fist might be destroyed if it exploded against her.

"How much do you know?" Dai Mengyuan asked. He paused, didn't hear Jing Yi answer him immediately, "Dunhuang has investigated me." He should have told you, right? ”

"I know everything you need to know." Jingyi replied clearly. He did not deny the information he received from Dunhuang, but he did not admit it either.

Dai Mengyuan was silent for a moment and said, "Why don't you just pretend that you can't recognize me, or simply explain it to Tao Xiang?" ”

Jingyi said softly: "I still hope that you can get out of the way." ”

Dai Mengyuan turned around and looked at her. Such a beautiful Jingyi used to be a layer of soft waves on the quiet deep pool, but now although she is still like a soft wave of still water on the surface, her temperament already has the pride of the surging Yellow River water behind her...... Maybe she used to be like that, but she never showed such a side to him. He didn't know anything like that.

"I owe it to you." Jingyi said. There is a sharp tingling sensation in the heart and lungs. It was undoubtedly the hardest thing for her to admit this in front of him. "This is what I owe you, Meng Yuan. It's not because of me...... You don't have to go through such pain. I am now thankful that you are alive and that I have the opportunity to see you again...... I am indeed not the Cheng Jingyi I used to be. I don't want to face Cheng Jingyi in the past anymore. I beg your pardon. I can help you, but I don't help you unconditionally. While your identity is not revealed, leave quickly. ”

Dai Mengyuan looked at Jingyi.

She was calm.

She was a gentle and weak girl, warm and lovely, and she was like that in front of him. But at this time, she was so calm and even a little indifferent to him.

"Are you afraid that our past will affect you?" Dai Mengyuan asked.

"Yes. I can't afford to take that risk. My today is not easy to come by. I think you know something. Jingyi whispered.

"I need a special pass." He said.

Jing Yi looked at Dai Mengyuan.

Dai Mengyuan looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he was vicious.

The Evergreen was seized, the access to the USSR was cut off, and the opening of the second channel took time. Looking at the situation today, maybe even if it is opened, it will be found out soon, and more people will be arrested by then, so he must try to transfer them as soon as possible. However, at present, the road to the Soviet Union is heavily arranged, and strict precautions are taken, and even a mouse cannot escape. If they had a special pass, they would be able to move all the people who were currently here in a short period of time. As long as they are safely transferred, the mission is complete...... It was originally a very difficult situation, but he actually met Jingyi.

"Jingyi, I shouldn't have appeared in front of you. And I shouldn't have violated discipline and revealed my identity. It's a last resort. Dai Mengyuan said.

"You don't have to explain it to me. The less I know about these things, the safer it will be for you. Jingyi said.

"It was decided on an ad hoc basis. If there's another way, I won't bother you. Dai Mengyuan said.

"So......" Jingyi looked at him, "did you plan to let me know that you were still alive from the beginning?" ”

"For me, it's the last way. But I didn't expect you to really remember my handwriting clearly. Dai Mengyuan said.

Jingyi gritted her teeth. How could it be impossible to forget...... She had burned many of the letters he had given her, but the words he had written were engraved on her heart like inscriptions.

"Where's Fei Faxian?" She asked.

Dai Mengyuan did not answer her. He turned, "You don't have to worry about her. ”

"I want to know...... Fei Yuming is her father, if something happens to you and her, what will happen to her father? Fei Yuming was ambitious and wanted to turn this place into his territory. At this time, his new policy was being implemented vigorously and diligently. He trusts you so much, you should have taken advantage of your work to secretly transfer personnel and deliver supplies to your base. In case of...... What will she do then? What are you going to do? Jingyi asked, seemingly curious about his answer.

Dai Mengyuan said: "Jingyi, like you, will not stand on the opposite side of the family no matter what. ”

Jing Yi's face turned pale.

"You're right. I don't have that kind of courage. To this day, I don't even have the courage to ask you how you escaped...... So I should wish you well, finally found a like-minded partner. Jingyi said.

Dai Mengyuan whispered, "Thank you." ”

"What if I don't help you this time?" Jingyi asked.

Dai Mengyuan looked at her.

Jing Yi waited for his answer.

"Jingyi, you helped us. Dunhuang helped us. Shimin and Xiufang have both helped us. Whatever your intentions, you have helped us directly or indirectly. Dai Mengyuan said softly, "You know in your heart that we are not demons who poison the people, right?" ”

Jingyi looked at Dai Mengyuan.

She never dreamed that there would be a day when they would face each other and talk about such bloody topics. He has ideals, enthusiasm, strong will and far-reaching ambitions. Although he also has times of weakness...... Very few, but she's seen it.

"Doctor Zhao Shimin......" Jingyi looked at him.

"He sincerely wants to live here with Xiufang. He helped me during the time I was recuperating. But my business has nothing to do with him. Dai Mengyuan knew what she was suspicious of, and told her calmly.

"Good. I'm trying to figure it out. She said. Turning her eyes away from him, "But you have to promise me one thing. ”

"Are you worried that I will be detrimental to Tao Xiang and Dunhuang? I will not reveal to anyone what we are talking about today. Dai Mengyuan said.

Jingyi nodded. That's exactly what she's going to promise.

"So, I'll go first." Jingyi said and opened the car door.

Dai Mengyuan was still looking at her.

She only felt that his isolated figure seemed to be getting smaller and smaller. Gradually, there was no weight, but he used to weigh on her heart like a big rock.

"How the hell did you get away with that?" She asked softly.

"I thought you wouldn't ask again." Dai Mengyuan raised his hand and touched his cheek, "Let's all take it as a real accident." If it weren't for this accident, maybe I would have been studying on the other side of the ocean now. Although I know that even if I go to the United States, you will still be Tao Xiang's wife...... There is no way we can be together. But it was this fire that made me understand that no matter what, they would not let me go. The only time I was shaken, I almost lost my life, lost my friends, and saw them more clearly. From then on, I was no longer affected by personal feelings. For that I want to thank you and thank them. If one day the ideal is finally realized, this accident will be indispensable. ”

Jing Yi's heart trembled, and she could hardly speak.

Her hand clasped against the car door, shaking violently. Dai Mengyuan looked at her and said no more. The cool wind by the river blew her hair, and she lowered her head and finally got into the car.

This time she didn't look back.

Dai Mengyuan must have been watching her leave.

Years passed, and he watched her leave like this, only once or twice...... She always felt that such moments seemed to be eternal.

The speeding car rolled up the sand and crackled the windows.

Fine sand slipped into the crevices of her veil and stuck to her face...... When she parked the car in the garage and saw Zhang Bo and Qiu Wei waiting for her at the door of the garage, she was full of dust and ravines, which was very ugly.

Qiu Wei and Uncle Zhang were a little surprised to see her, but they didn't ask anything. Especially Qiu Wei, who accompanied her back, didn't say a word. Jingyi didn't care about what to say to her, she cleaned herself up, and heard that Zhang's mother said that the eldest lady's family would arrive soon, and the old lady let her over, so she immediately took Qiu Wei out of the door.

Mr. and Mrs. Tauran brought the children back. Tao Shengchuan was naturally very happy to see his grandchildren. Not long ago, he underwent an operation for a lung tumor under the auspices of Dr. LΓΌbeck and is now recovering from a lung tumor, both physically and mentally. However, his daughter and son-in-law persuaded him to go abroad for recuperation, but he did not agree and preferred to recuperate at home.
