Chapter 2: Flowers in May (Part 5)

At this moment, Zhang Songling and the others didn't realize at all that a big net woven by a conspiracy had quietly covered them. They were basking in the excitement of a successful charity performance, excited by the performance of everyone on and off stage. In the second half of the performance, tens of thousands of people came from all over the world, blocking the empty space in front of the open-air stage and several nearby roads.

Every audience member was red-eyed and wept for the catastrophe that the country and individuals had endured at this time. In the end, it is not just a 'one-man show' for all students. The audience close to the stage also repeated the students' singing over and over again to the rhythm of the music. The distant audience could no longer hear what the lyrics were singing on stage, but clapped their hands and hummed quietly to the melody of the crowd. "May flowers bloom all over the field. Flowers cover up the blood of the heroes, who have fought tenaciously to save this dying nation......"

"The enemy's iron hooves crossed the Great Wall, the Central Plains is still singing and dancing, "good-neighborliness" ah despicable surrender, forgetting the country and forgetting our ......" song was sung by Beiping students as the finale, but it attracted the harmony of everyone on and off the stage. Almost half of Huluyu was ignited by singing, and people sobbed, sang, and shouted, venting their hatred for the war in their hearts, for the inaction of the central and local governments, and for their hatred for being a man but not being able to win a place for their wives and children, and tears poured out.

Even God was moved by this melody full of grief and indignation, and before he knew it, it was drizzling. The audience was still reluctant to leave, and surrounded the students who had already closed the curtain three times, and kept applauding, asking them to come back to another song, so that everyone could be intoxicated by the singing again. It wasn't until Captain Yue of the local security team came forward that he reluctantly made the charity performance end on the grounds that the students came from afar and needed to take a break from afar. However, the audience still automatically formed two human walls, escorting students from Shandong and Beiping into the first floor of the Peace Hotel before slowly dispersing.

"I didn't expect the consciousness of the people here to be so high." Carrying two full donation boxes and climbing the stairs, Lu Ming, Li Di and others were discussing. According to the rough eyesight, at least one-third of the donation box contained silver dollars and copper plates. This metal currency is very inconvenient to carry. In turbulent times, it is far stronger than fiat currency. Bringing it to Beiping can allow the officers and men of the 29th Army to buy tens of thousands of more bullets to fight devils.

"They all have the pain of the country's ruin, and of course they can resonate with us more!" Peng Xuewen was also very emotional about the scene during the performance, but the expression on his face was a little angry, "But what can it be?" When we are gone tomorrow, they will flee and surrender. No one can remember what they sang today! ”

"How can you say so sure! It's as if you're alone in the whole country! When Fang Guoqiang heard Peng Xuewen speak, he felt unhappy in his heart, and immediately frowned and retorted.

"At 129 o'clock last year, we didn't move half of the people in Beiping! But what about after that? In addition to Feng Zhi'an's high-pressure water gun, what else did everyone gain?! Glancing lazily at Fang Guoqiang, Peng Xuewen pouted.

"At the very least, you planted the seeds of resistance!" Fang Guoqiang smiled and looked at Peng Xuewen, with a little admiration and a little disdain, "At least, you didn't find an excuse to escape at that time!" ”

"Lao Tzu has never run away! Lao Tzu is going to Nanjing to petition and ask the government to make a decision as soon as possible! Peng Xuewen immediately became furious and defended himself in a voice close to roaring.

"If you want to be a deserter, you can always find the right reason!" Fang Guoqiang continued to speak coldly.

"You are the deserter, when Lao Tzu faced the high-pressure water gun, you still don't know where to spend the moon......."

"At least I'm going north, not south......"

The students in the two places couldn't persuade the two, and they didn't have the strength to persuade them again, so they sped up or slowed down their pace to distance themselves from them. Zhang Songling was hit with a brick on his back and couldn't walk too fast. Peng Weiwei didn't want to listen to her brother's endless quarrels with others, so she took the initiative to stay at the back of the team to accompany him.

"Who did you learn Japanese from?" Sounds like that! The little girl didn't pretend to have so many national hatreds and family hatred in her heart, and the angle of asking questions was particularly unusual at this moment.

"I, I never studied Japanese at all!" Speaking of this stubble, Zhang Songling couldn't cry or laugh. He hadn't learned Japanese at all before, and he was caught by Tian Fatzi on a hard job, so he barely followed the other party to fool around a few words. Unexpectedly, it was these few sentences of Japanese that caused him to almost be opened by a brick, and he didn't say anything, and he was closed by a bunch of people.

"And what did you learn in middle school? Isn't English more popular in your Shandong region, Japanese and German?! "Peng Weiwei was born a curious baby, and she likes to get to the bottom of everything that is new.

"Hey, Sensei, I have a headache when I talk about it! I was very unlucky when I was in middle school, ......" mentioned this, Zhang Songling was even more bitter. He attended a very different secondary school, with English and German courses to broaden his students' horizons. And it is a mandatory requirement for students to take one of them, and they are not allowed to miss classes for any reason. And he himself was unfortunate enough to be assigned to a German teacher by the school. Throughout high school, I memorized a lot of jumbled German words. Walking out into the streets, it doesn't come in much use. It's better to learn Japanese, and at least you can help your family do some business with Japanese businessmen.

"There aren't many places in Peking where you can use German. But in Nanjing, it is said that there are many companies run by Germans. She was very sympathetic to Zhang Songling's misfortune, Peng Weiwei put herself in his shoes to find a way out, "That's right......" she suddenly clapped her hands and added very happily, "Or don't apply for Peking University at all, follow us to Nanjing, and let's go to Central University together." There are a lot of Germans working as advisers on the government side, and your German language may be of great use! ”

"I don't have that ability. Just look at it, but it's not good to say that it's not good at all! After dating Peng Weiwei for so long, Zhang Songling has gradually forgotten the previous restraints, shook his head, and said with a smile, "Besides, it is impossible for me to go to Nanjing with you now." It's all here, you can't turn around and go back! ”

"Why not?!" Peng Weiwei didn't expect Zhang Songling to speak so directly, raised her head, and her big eyes were full of disappointment.

Zhang Songling's heart twitched violently, he sighed, and his words were a little sad, "I met Brother Zhou and them halfway, and then I decided to go to Beiping with them to join the army." Seeing that I am about to arrive in Beiping, if I suddenly change my mind again, it is inevitable, it is inevitable that it will ......"

Shaking his head, he smiled a little helplessly, "I am inevitably making excuses for my cowardice." Looking back on it in the future, I'm afraid I'll never feel comfortable in my heart! ”

This is the truest thought in his heart. For two consecutive days, the controversy between Peng Xuewen and Fang Guoqiang had a great impact on him. When he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, he lay on the bed and asked himself, Zhang Songling couldn't be sure whether it was right or wrong to choose to go with Zhou Jue and them?! He loved this country, he loved this people, although he didn't know the reason for that love. He is not afraid of sacrificing his life for the country, he is not afraid of blood staining the battlefield, but he is afraid that he will die in vain.

If Twenty-Nine is really a pawn for Song Zheyuan and others to seek personal gain, as Peng Xuewen said, Zhang Songling will not know what the meaning of his trip is? But if he chooses to give up halfway, he is very unwilling, and he doesn't want to be mistaken by Fang Guoqiang and others for a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

He didn't dare to say these words to Zhou Jue, or Tian Qingyu, for fear that they would laugh at him for being naïve, timid, and going back on his word. But in front of Peng Weiwei's big bright eyes, he didn't want to continue to disguise. "To be honest, I don't know who is right between your brother and Fang Guoqiang. But I have to at least go to Peking to have a look, and when I understand it, I will feel grounded! ”

"It's all to blame for the poker face surnamed Fang!" Peng Weiwei couldn't bear to blame Zhang Songling, nor did she want to blame her brother, but she put all the fault on Fang Guoqiang's head. "It's him, who understands that he doesn't care, and he has to continue to mess around! My brother was in Song Zheyuan's student army and served as acting company commander for four months. What is it that you can't see better than him?! ”

"Not only because of his words, but I actually want to go to Peking to see it myself!" Zhang Songling didn't want to blame others for his confusion at the moment, so he smiled and added frankly.

"Then you just don't believe me and my brother! Don't believe me and my brother, what kind of review materials do you borrow from me! Peng Weiwei's face turned cold instantly, left Zhang Songling, and ran upstairs.

"I, I didn't mean that!" Zhang Songling wanted to pull but didn't dare, his hand hung in the air, awkward and abnormal.

"Don't chase it yet, stupid boy!" The eldest sister Han Qiu kicked him lightly behind him and reminded him in a low voice. "Don't tell me you don't know which room she's in!"

"Hey, hey!" Zhang Songling was suddenly woken up, and ran up the stairs like a burning buttocks. Han Qiu shook his head and smiled at his back, turned around, and saw Tian Qingyu, who was also full of evil smiles, and reached out and twisted the fat on the other party's waist, "Look at your stupid appearance?!" What do you see, how much smarter can you be than him? ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Tian Qingyu has thick fat, and he doesn't take this attack seriously at all. While smiling, he hugged Han Qiu's shoulder, "This kind of thing is only interesting if you explore it yourself." When someone else teaches, it doesn't feel so beautiful! ”

"You're more experienced!" Han Qiu's words were not so much accusations as coquettishness.

"Either or, or a while, you're pretending to be angry. What an excuse do I have to come to your room to find you? Tian Qingyu looked around, convinced that no one had noticed him, and lowered his voice to suggest.

"Die!" Han Qiu gently smacked him, and his wet face was filled with happiness in an instant.

The two patronized Qingqing and me, and when they were not careful, they went up the wrong stairs. After understanding and then going back, after only a few steps, Tian Qingyu was bumped into by Lu Ming, who ran up in a hurry.

"Tian Fatzi, why did you run to the fourth floor. Oh no, something is wrong! Lu Ming, with long fingers, didn't even bother to change his wet clothes, and shouted out of breath.

"What's the matter, there's already a war with the Japanese ahead?!" Tian Qingyu was taken aback, and immediately thought in the worst direction.

"It's not! Don't be kidding! Lu Ming was so anxious that he stomped his feet, desperately gasped for a few breaths, and then continued to add, "The coachman, the coachman has all run away." The carriage and the clumsy luggage we left on it were gone. They asked the shopkeeper to leave you a message. I said I'm sorry guys, but I don't want to continue to accompany us to Beiping to mess around. He also said that he would let you go home quickly, and don't continue to go on a desperate road! ”

"Bullshit!" Tian Qingyu was furious, and ran downstairs, "I'll chase them back." These three bastards took so much money from me. When I return to Qingdao one day, I will definitely find someone to do them! ”

"Where are you going? They were driving the carriage, and now they were gone! Han Qiu ran a few steps behind Tian Qingyu, pressed his hand to his waist, and asked while gasping.

"Then, then I have to find them and ask them for an understanding!" Tian Qingyu also realized that he couldn't run faster than the carriage, so he stopped, and his eyes turned red. The Swiss gold watch on his wrist, he made a full hundred and fifty oceans, most of which was handed over to the car dealer as a deposit. I was going to show my face in front of my companions, but who would have thought that the coachman would run away with a lot of stupid luggage halfway, causing him to fight for nothing.

"Don't chase it, you can't catch up. As long as you're by my side, I'm at ease. What luggage, watches, are just things outside the body! Han Qiu stepped forward quickly, hugged him with his arms, and comforted him softly.

"You know everything?" Tian Qingyu was stunned, and the red color instantly spread from his eyelids to the base of his neck.

"Fool, I follow you every day, and I can't see what's missing in you?" Han Qiu stomped his foot and responded in a low voice. "I know what you're for, and I know what you're thinking, so I didn't poke you. When you get home from the battle, I'll buy you a better one. I have an uncle who is in the jewelry business in Shanghai! ”

"Xiaoqiu!" Tian Qingyu didn't know what to say, hugging Han Qiu's slender waist, tears slowly trickling down his face.

"Go back, don't be angry. The two of us will go out and hire a car later, and hire the kind of one that costs a dollar. Han Qiu rubbed the tears on his face and proposed with a smile.

"Hmm!" Tian Qingyu's heart was gradually filled with gentleness, nodded and happily agreed. He still has dozens of oceans in his luggage, plus a jade Buddha with a neck band, and he will definitely be able to hire three carriages. And here is less than 100 miles away from Beiping. Hurry up, the carriage will arrive at its destination in two days.

"Mmmmmmmmmm......mm Lu Ming, who was treated as air, covered his mouth with his hand and said in a low voice: "The money for hiring a car is also counted as me and Liu Jing." Let's not tell you how much. But the two of you have to hurry down to change your clothes, Fang Guoqiang and Peng Xuewen are waiting for everyone in the restaurant on the second floor! ”
