Chapter 2: Flowers in May (6a)

"The two of them? What are they waiting for? When it came to Peng Xuewen and Fang Guoqiang, Han Qiu felt that his head was as big as a fight. In the past two days, Peng Xuewen and Fang Guoqiang said when they were arguing, he couldn't pretend not to hear a word. Every sentence seems to be very reasonable, but every sentence is-for-tat. It makes people feel very uncomfortable and very desperate. It is like two brutal doctors, knowing that the patient has been tortured by the disease, and still arguing the severity of the disease in front of the patient without reservation, and loudly declaring that he is not sure about the treatment plan.

"It's not a matter of going south or north?" Lu Ming frowned and pouted, looking very helpless, "It's not enough to fight for yourself, you have to get involved with others!" ”

"Didn't Team Zhou agree to give them half of the money raised? Why does the surname Peng have to rely on us?! Tian Qingyu was very disgusted by Peng Xuewen's finger-pointing style, and said with a little disdain.

"It was already fine. Da Zhou promised to give half of the points from today's fundraiser to the surname Peng. The surname Peng also knew that his reasons might not be sufficient, and he was ready to stop fighting. But the shopkeeper of the hotel Zhu ran up at this time to report the news of the driver's escape! Lu Ming shrugged his shoulders and sighed softly, "It's okay now, the surname Peng came to his heart when he heard it, and said that since even the coachman we hired knew that Beiping was a big fire pit, let's continue to go north, it is to be brave, and it is irresponsible for our own lives and the lives of others......"

"This guy, it's about his birds!" Before Lu Ming finished speaking, Tian Qingyu scolded loudly.

Then J got into an argument with him again. If you want to be a deserter, you can always find a reason. When I saw that something was wrong, I hurried down to find you! ”

"What's the use of you looking for us?!" Tian Qingyu was in a hurry, and he didn't care a little when he spoke, "You're looking for Da Zhou!" He is the leader of the team, and the main one surnamed Peng is coming at him again. ”

"Da Zhou, Da Zhou seems to be very hesitant at this moment! Stood there all the time without speaking! Lu Ming sighed involuntarily again, lowered his head, and explained in a very small voice.

"How can Da Zhou be like this?!" The more Han Qiu listened to it, the more angry he became, and he pricked up his eyes and complained. "Isn't he a very decisive person? How did it come to the critical moment, on the contrary, it pretended to be cowardly! ”

"Da Zhou's temperament has not been very strong! In the student council, we knew he had this problem. Tian Qingyu was angry and helpless. But he was older than all of us, and his academic performance was the best. Plain and like a big brother to everyone. So ......"

Therefore, it is only natural that he was selected as the team leader. It's just that no one would have thought that this small team would encounter so many things on the way. Considering Zhou Jue's face, Tian Qingyu didn't finish his words, but Han Qiu, who was smart and clever, completely understood what he meant. He smiled and whispered, "What about you, are you going to turn back to the south, or continue to the north?!" ”

"I'm definitely going north. Even if the surname Peng said those things, it was true. It can only show that Song Zheyuan is difficult to take on a big job! And at present, the brothers of the 29th Army, as well as those classmates in the military camp, what they are doing is not wrong. What about you, Xiaoqiu, if Da Zhou also quits halfway, where are you going? ”

"Of course I'm with you!" Han Qiu smiled and made a choice without hesitation.

"Then I have nothing to worry about!" Tian Qingyu grabbed Han Qiu's hand in his thick slap very arrogantly, and said loudly, "Let's go, let's go back to our respective rooms to change clothes first." See you in the restaurant. I don't believe that everyone else will be like Da Zhou, who was demoralized by Peng Xuewen in a few words! ”

"I don't believe it either!" Although Han Qiu was a girl, she had a little bit of the heroic spirit of a hot-blooded man in her heart, and she tightened the five fingers in Tian Qingyu's hand and echoed with a smile.

The two left Lu Ming, who was full of envy, and went upstairs with a smile. After a while, they changed into clean clothes and came to the restaurant together. Everyone was still sitting in the same place where they had dinner last night, still surrounded by two tables. The difference is that there are several male and female classmates from Beiping who sit with Fang Guoqiang. And Li Di and Zhang Xiaorui, members of the Blood Flower Society, sat at a table with Peng Xuewen.

Lu Ming and Liu Jing were originally tired of being together every day, but now they are separated. One had a pale face, while the other had his head down, and his face clearly showed signs of crying just now.

"I'm so sorry to have you lost your big luggage! However, as long as you have a change of clothes with you. It's not far from Beiping here, and when I get to the destination, whoever loses something, I will compensate him at the original price. I found the carriage, and I'm responsible for what happened! At a glance, he could see that the way everyone was sitting was strange, but Tian Qingyu still pretended to be confused.

"No need, it's just a set of covers, it's not worth a few dollars!" Li Di didn't dare to make contact with Tian Qingyu with his eyes, tilted his head, and expressed his position in a low voice.

"Anyway, when I get to the army, I will also be issued a set of luggage. If you lose it, you will lose it, and we will not have to carry it by ourselves! You say, "Isn't it?" Fang Guoqiang was still as strong as ever, and without asking, he made an advocacy for several other people.

"yes, yes!" Lu Ming, who had come one step ahead, nodded again and again, deliberately not looking at Liu Jing, and the expression on his face was very stiff.

"Don't be polite to me, guys. My father still has a few old friends in Beiping, even if we don't get along with the 29th Army, I take everyone to the door, they won't watch me sleeping on the streets! Tian Qingyu pulled a chair and sat opposite Fang Guoqiang. Then he pretended to look around in surprise and greeted with a smile: "Team Zhou, why are you still standing." Sit down, everyone is tired today, have a few drinks. Tomorrow I will go out to hire a carriage, and with my Lao Tian's ability, I guarantee that I can still hire one for the same price! ”

"Yes, Team Zhou, why are we all sitting down, and you are still standing there?! You have to choose a table where you sit! Han Qiu looked around with a smile, hiding a needle in the cotton.

The big brother-like Zhou Jue blushed by her, took a few steps forward, and said thoughtfully, "Tian Fat'er, Han Qiu, you two came just in time." There's something I need to explain to everyone. In the past few days, Peng Xuewen and Fang Guoqiang's words must have been heard by everyone. To be honest, I'm in a mess right now......"

"Team Zhou, at this juncture, it seems that you can't mess up in your heart!" Han Qiu smiled again, and spoke in an aggressive tone.

Zhou Jue was stimulated by her and his face turned even redder, and fine beads of sweat were faintly seen on his forehead, "After all, it is a matter involving everyone's lives, I, I can't call the shots alone." I have already told them just now, as for myself, I will definitely go to Beiping in the future to see what Song Zheyuan and the 29th Army look like, so that I can be willing! But, but ......."

He hesitated, hesitated, as if he was very ashamed of his cowardice, and it was very difficult to speak. After Peng Xuewen saw it, he wanted to act on behalf of him, but Fang Guoqiang moved faster, stood up first, and added loudly, "Okay, I'll talk about the next words." I provoked the matter, everyone will scold me for a while, and scold me, don't blame Da Zhou. I couldn't argue with Peng Xuewen, but I couldn't convince the other party......"

"Blame me, when I should make a decision, I don't dare to take responsibility!" Zhou Jue suddenly regained his courage, took half a step back, and bowed deeply to everyone, "I'm sorry, I'm really not suitable to be this team leader." But since I did, I shouldn't run away from it. Dafang and Xuewen The two of them just now, no one could convince anyone. It was proposed to let everyone vote, and if there were more votes for those who were willing to go to Beiping, they would all go to Beiping. Just like if you have a lot of votes to go to Nanjing, you will go to Nanjing! I think it's a good idea, at least, at least in the future we will remember today and not regret it too much! ”

"How can this ......" Tian Qingyu instinctively wanted to stand up and object, but was quietly pulled by Han Qiu and slowly sat back. When I looked at the others, I saw that the expressions on the faces of most people were relieved. Knowing that the matter of voting was a collective decision made by everyone just now, he shook his head and sighed softly.

Voting is not an unfamiliar thing to everyone here. In recent years, Western learning has flourished. Whether it is a newspaper run by the central government in Nanjing, or a radio station run by the local powerful faction itself, they often talk about "Mr. De" and "Mr. Sai." Even the owners behind the newspapers and radio stations may not really want the two gentlemen "De" and "Sai" to have a place under their rule. (Note 1)

As a group that understands the most about Western society and is the most active in learning, students from major colleges and universities are loyal believers in Mr. "De" and "Sai". Not only class cadres and department cadres are completely elected. Even the Federation of Colleges and Universities, a group with extremely huge influence and great fear of the authorities, has also sprung up quietly under the secret promotion of well-intentioned people.

So when Peng Xuewen and Fang Guoqiang couldn't convince anyone, and both wanted to pull the people in the other camp to their side, voting became the best choice. As the leader of the Blood Flower Society, since Zhou Jue is unwilling to take on the huge responsibility of "sending everyone to death", voting to decide where to go is also the only way to escape.

As a result, Peng Xuewen and Fang Guoqiang reached a common opinion for the first time. Vote! None of them thought they were going to lose, they all thought they were going to be the one who could get the support of the majority.

Now that most people have accepted this decision, Tian Qingyu will no longer obstruct it. Instead, he cheered up and followed the two students from Beiping, under the supervision of everyone's eyes, to make the ballot and ballot box as quickly as possible. Then, in earnest, the blank ballot papers were distributed to everyone present.

Although this kind of move is ahead of my don't know how many years, in the eyes of outsiders, it looks extremely naïve. However, the students present had a very pious attitude, wrote their own votes, folded them into small squares, and solemnly voted into the ballot box. Everyone can only write one word "south", or one word "north". After everyone has finished writing, they will never go back.

Subsequently, under the collective supervision of everyone, Han Qiu and another girl from Beiping sang the votes, Zhou Jue was responsible for the statistics, and Fang Guoqiang and Peng Xuewen were responsible for the scrutiny. Neither of them was convinced, and while watching the change of the strokes of the word "positive", they squeezed each other's eyebrows.

The results were quickly counted, and it was actually nine against eleven! The North won by two votes. In the Blood Flower Society, there were indeed people who flinched. Among the students in Beiping, there were also a few people who accepted Fang Guoqiang's proposition and decided to turn around and go north again to live and die with the student army.

"You ......" Peng Xuewen pointed to the two Beiping students who obviously voted for the word "north", his lips trembled, and his face was pale. It was clearly a betrayal in public, and he roared loudly in his heart, although before that, he had already guessed that these two people might make a different choice than he did.

"I can't afford to lose, can I?" Fang Guoqiang suddenly became personable, smiling and teasing. "The matter of voting, but you brought it up first. You are the leader of Peking University, don't regret losing and embarrass your alma mater! ”

"Who said I lost, who said I lost!" Peng Xuewen waved his fist and retorted loudly, "Nine against eleven, only twenty votes!" There are two other people, my sister and Xiao Zhang, they didn't vote! They, where did they go?! ”

"Fei Fei and the second fat man? By the way, what about Fei Fei and the second fat child?! At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the two youngest companions were not with everyone at all. Quickly stood up and searched around with your eyes.

"The two of them, the two of them, just now, it seems that they went to Fei Fei's room just now!" A girl from Peking thought about it and said timidly.

"This little bastard!" Peng Xuewen couldn't care about arguing with Fang Guoqiang anymore to choose the result, and ran out like a burning buttocks, and went straight to the floor where his sister was.

Predicament, rainy days, young men and women, love is beginning to open. One is as delicate as a flower, and the other is personable. There was no time to think about it, lest Peng Xuewen make any rude moves in a hurry, and Tian Qingyu, Zhou Jue, Fang Guoqiang and others also quickly caught up.

Three steps and two steps chased to the fourth floor, outside the single room where Peng Weiwei lived. Far away, I heard two slightly immature voices, singing alternately, "The flowers of May have bloomed all over the field, and the flowers have covered the blood of the heroes, in order to save this dying nation, they have fought tenaciously and ...... war of resistance."

"The enemy's iron hooves have crossed the Great Wall, and the Central Plains is still singing and dancing, and the "good-neighborliness" and despicable surrender have forgotten the country and our ......."

"This sentence should be in a higher tone, don't keep your voice dumb!"

"I'll try again, you start again...."

It was Peng Weiwei who was teaching Zhang Songling to sing, at this moment, only the two of them, unaffected by everyone's disputes, and their hearts were still as transparent as crystal.
