Umeko wears a coarse cloth garment as thick as a copper coin in gray tiles with patches attached, and it is said that this dress was worn by Umeko's grandfather. Meizi refused to wear it, and her father forced her to wear it. She is a very beautiful and nice girl, and whenever she goes, she always attracts the greedy eyes of a large group of men. Born in troubled times, her father told her not to show her true face along the way. She is a girl who loves beauty, she looks delicate and moving, wearing this dress, wearing a hat of her grandfather on her head, and suddenly changing from a girl to the appearance of an old man in the countryside. After more than a month of walking day and night, I finally came to the wharf opposite the Nanjing Xiaguan Ferry. The dock was empty. She looked at the surging Yangtze River, on the other side of the river is Nanjing, although she couldn't see clearly, but Meizi's heart had already flown over. I'm about to have the man I love. Meizi was very excited. Thinking about the hardships I have endured for more than a month, I am finally approaching my destination. Umeko was delighted.

Meizi waited for most of the day, but there was no shadow of the boat, and suddenly, she saw dozens of corpses floating on the river, both men and women. There are also small children and the elderly. She was stupefied all at once. She had never seen so many dead people. It's scary! I couldn't help but startle her. Where did the corpses come from, why are there so many dead people!

An inexplicable fear gripped her heart, and the sky gradually darkened, and she stood alone on the bank of the river, and the plums were thin and dark. Along the way, for more than a month, she didn't sleep well for a night, and she walked many unjust roads. Overcome unimaginable odds. I have taken up all the suffering I have suffered in the past 20 years for more than a month. Still, she felt a sense of relief because she was willing to do it.

Finally, I saw a boat on the river. Meizi's heart flew all at once. She can be Kejiang immediately, and she can reunite with her long-awaited husband. She saw a boatload full of men, women, adults and children. They all waved happily, as if they had escaped from the ghost gate.

After a while, the boat came to shore, and Meizi jumped on the boat at once, and everyone looked at her with a strange gaze. What do you mean! Meizi didn't understand.

The people on board rushed to get off the boat, and everyone went ashore as if fleeing for their lives. She distinctly heard someone pointing at her and whispering, "This man is crazy." ”

They call themselves crazy, and you're crazy. Meizi firmly believes that the city of Nanjing. In her imagination, there are beautiful high-rise buildings, bustling streets, and beautifully dressed women. There are big shopping malls, cinemas, and delicious food.

"I'm going to cross the river, boss, help!" Mei Nu dressed up as a man and exchanged her wedding dress for the old clothes worn by the old lady in the country, everyone thought she was the old lady in the country, she walked to the ferry and said to the owner: "I have money, I will not live in vain." ”

"Uncle, go back! There's a war going on on the other side, are you going to die? "The owner of the ship is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a black face, a straight nose, a hooked nose, thick and long eyebrows, and a pair of small eyes that are very flexible.

"Nope! My man is over there, I'm going to find my man! I'm not afraid of death! Meizi couldn't help revealing her identity.

"You're a girl?" The owner's eyes suddenly turned to the bone, staring at Meizi's upright facial features concealed by the ashes, as if he had discovered a new world, his eyes were straight, and he suddenly revealed his two front teeth that were yellowed by the smoke of the earth, and said, "What a beautiful girl! He looked at Meizi greedily for a while before he said with concern, "Sister, don't go, maybe you will be beaten to death by the devil." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Meizi suddenly became angry. She had already felt the wolf-like gaze of the ship's owner, and regretted that she had shown her true colors.

The owner of the ship couldn't help but look at Meizi's angry face, and couldn't help but be surprised, this is the old man, and he is obviously a big beauty! Although her face was painted with black pot ash, she still couldn't hide her beautiful demeanor. The boatman looked at Reiko for a while, and his face suddenly became enthusiastic: "What do you do as a man?" ”

"Soldier."

"Soldier?" The shipowner laughed suddenly: "Beauty, your man must be dead." The devils surrounded Nanjing like an iron bucket. Not even a single mosquito can fly. The boatman looked at it for a while before he said, "Beauty, don't cross the river, follow me to live!" I'll make sure you eat and dress well! ”

"Boss, don't be kidding, your boat can't pass?"

"Come on! However, the boat is expensive, can you afford it? ”

"How much do you want?"

"Fifty oceans."

"Fifty!" Meizi couldn't help but gasp. When he came out of his hometown in Xiangxi, his father-in-law finally managed to gather ten oceans. After a while, Mei Zi whispered: "Boss, I don't have fifty oceans." After hesitating for a while, Reiko said: "Boss, my man is an official, you send me across the river, and I will make up the fifty oceans." ”

"Don't say that your man is an official, even President Jiang, and he can't protect himself in Nanjing." The boat owner looked at Meizi's stunning facial features and snow-white arms, and said maliciously: "Count yourself lucky, since the devils attacked Nanjing, the national army has sealed the river. I am eating this bowl of rice with my head hanging, you really want to cross the river, I have one condition, if you agree, I can waive your boat fare. ”

Meizi was overjoyed all of a sudden, and said happily: "Thank you boss, as long as I can do it." ”

The owner of the ship smiled and said, "It's getting dark, you can get on the boat!" ”
