Chapter 2: Flowers in May (6 Below)

"Yue Sang, tomorrow morning, it's up to you!" The short man Matsui immediately smiled, stood on tiptoe and patted the shoulder of the captain of the security team, and shouted a loud admonition.

"I'll let the brothers do their best!" Captain Yue is tall and big, and he was extremely uncomfortable being photographed by the little man Matsui. His body stiffened, and he responded with a forced smile. Turning his head, he looked at the young man surnamed Pan from Beiping again, "Staff Officer Pan, is it really necessary to do such a desperate job?" They, they're all reading seeds! Since ancient times, anyone who wants to achieve great things will not take the ....... of scholars."

"These days, reading people are not worth much!" The young businessman, known as Counselor Pan, smiled coldly and replied with a pout. "What's wrong with letting them ask for mercy?! Besides, if you don't give the poor students some color, there may be a few nerds running to Peking in the next few months! Every time there is one more person in the barracks, it will be difficult for my uncle to do Song Zheyuan's work in Beiping! In case the poor students gain a ....... in the upper echelons of the 29th Army"

"Yes, Captain Yue, I understand what you mean! As a last resort, the empire doesn't want to attack the readers! The short man Matsui nodded, the smile on his face a little hideous, "But, Yue Sang, you should understand that the fiercer the resistance on the side of the Twenty-ninth Army, the more difficult it is for the discipline of the Imperial Army to restrain it. Once the soldiers are red-eyed, when the time comes, more than a few students will die! This account, which side is smaller and which side is bigger, I think Yue Sang should be able to calculate it clearly! ”

"You dare to ......." Captain Yue changed color and wanted to punch back, but was pulled by Qin Degang, "Team Yue, Mr. Matsui's words make sense." If you want peace, someone has to shed blood. Either they will shed their blood, or ours will be shed! Even if you follow Matsui's words, the aftermath will be covered with me! ”

"Captain Yue, before I came, my uncle once said. You will do everything you can to support me! I don't think you're going to let my uncle down! Staff Officer Pan quickly turned cold, and scolded Captain Yue with a smile.

"It's good, it's good. Since Mr. Pan has said everything about this, Yue Mou just obeys the order! "Captain Yue struggled a few times, and he couldn't get rid of Qin Degang's shackles, so he had to gasp and surrender to the others." I'm going to set it up, guys, and we'll see you tomorrow morning! ”

Unwilling to look at the ugly faces of Matsui and Staff Officer Pan, he hurriedly went out with his henchman Xiao Yuan. Before he could reach the first floor, his henchman Xiao Yuan stopped, gently ripped off his clothes, and advised in a very low voice: "Team Yue, we can't do this!" Shoot at the reader, that is the retribution sooner or later! ”

Team Yue's heart was at war with heaven and man, and his face was very ugly. After hesitating again and again, he lowered his voice and responded, "Mr. Pan's uncle has a life grace for me!" What he ordered, Yue couldn't refuse! Go down and pick twenty reliable brethren and go to the station in the early hours of tomorrow morning to lay an ambush. When the time comes, remember to raise the muzzle of the gun by three inches, fire a few shots indiscriminately, and scare away those student children, don't make a killing! ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yuan is the child that Captain Yue picked up from the starvation pile when he was an officer, and he never disobeys the orders of his superiors. Say yes, and go to pick people.

The Huluyu security team was formed by Captain Yue on behalf of the Qin government, and the scale was quite large. However, it was not easy to find 20 brothers who were absolutely faithful and reliable. Squadron Leader Xiao Yuan went down and carefully considered it in the middle of the night, and after thousands of choices, Captain Caiyue and his own descendants found a suitable candidate. He repeatedly explained to them that all actions must be under the command of Captain Yue, and no one is allowed to make their own decisions without orders. Then let everyone rest for a few hours in the team headquarters with shell guns, and around three o'clock in the morning, they quietly found out of the town.

The summer day dawned early, only a little after half past three, and the east was already showing the whiteness of the fish's belly. The hills, the woods, and the lonely train station not far away all slowly reveal their outlines in the night. Captain Yue and Xiao Yuan ambushed 20 brothers in a small forest about 500 meters away from the train station, their faces facing due north. If someone in the town is out to catch a train, they happen to pass in front of them.

"I hope those young dolls will be smarter for a while!" Captain Yue held the shell gun, leaning against an old tree with a thick hug, and thought a little depressed. He was originally a company commander in the Northwest Army, subordinate to the "defective general" Shi Yousan. Later, because he couldn't stand Shi Yousan's behavior, he quit the army in anger. After the arrangement of his old boss Pan Yugui, he came to Huluyu and became a security team leader.

Huluyu has a beautiful environment and humid air, which is especially suitable for the elderly. Captain Yue also gradually became two strands of raw meat in a comfortable living environment, and lost the agility that an old soldier should have. With his back against the tree, it was only a short moment before a snoring sound was already ringing in his nostrils. "Whew-hu-hu-hu-hu-" Like a train blowing a whistle, the nearby birds flew away.

"Team Yue, Team Yue, someone is coming!" Squadron Leader Xiao Yuan was full of energy and kept staring around with big eyes. From a distance, he saw a few figures faintly appearing at the entrance of the town, and quickly pushed Captain Yue's shoulders and reminded in a low voice.

"Who?! How far away! Captain Yue stood up, reached out and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, they're coming from the east, and they're going against the sun!" Xiao Yuan rubbed his red eyes and responded in a low voice, "Look at the dress, it should be those student babies." A lot of men and women, still carrying luggage! ”

"Tell the brethren to take their places!" Captain Yue waved his shell gun and quickly lowered his body. On the opposite side were at most about two dozen young students who had not even grown their hair, but it made him nervous that he had participated in the Central Plains War. "No one is allowed to shoot without my orders. Don't even hit people! ”

"Yes!" Squadron Leader Xiao Yuan bent down and trotted to deliver orders. After a while, he trotted back again, "Report, the brethren are in place." The target is also coming soon, it is the group of student babies, I heard them sing yesterday. ”

"Well, keep watching!" Captain Yue replied in a low voice, and at the same time poked half of his head out from behind the tree and looked towards the entrance of the town.

It was indeed the group of young students, with their backs to the east, dyed by the morning glow, and their bodies were golden in color. Because of the backlight, Captain Yue couldn't see the faces of the visitors clearly. I just felt that the outline around the young man was very bright, as if it had been coated with a layer of gold leaf by the morning light, solemn and sacred, and people did not dare to gaze carefully.

"The doll who walked at the forefront is surnamed Lu, according to the information provided by Matsui, their family is from the south, and they are now running a big silk village in Jinan City, and they are very rich!" Squadron leader Xiao Yuan's eyes are good, and he endured the stimulation of the sun and reported in a low voice. The girl who followed him was her little lover. The two seem to have just quarreled, and I don't know why. The one next to the girl, the white and chubby, surnamed Zhang, seems to be only seventeen years old, and the family runs a grocery store. The kid surnamed Zhang is next to him, the one who is about as fat as him......"

"Okay, I know all of this!" Captain Yue suddenly felt upset, waved his hand, and interrupted Xiao Yuan's report. The young man at the front of the line looked very bookish, and the girl who followed him reluctantly behind him was a little bit of the brutality of a young lady from a big family. made him involuntarily think of his two children, all of whom were studying in Shanghai, and they were also at the age of apricot blossoms......

At this moment, the girl named Liu Jing suddenly tripped over her foot and squatted down screaming. Immediately after, Lu Ming, who was at the forefront of the gambling spirit, turned around in surprise, dropped the luggage roll that had been carrying on his shoulder, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?" Where's the injury? ”

"People, twist, twist to your feet!" Liu Jing's clever plan succeeded, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she pretended to have a very painful expression on her face. "On the ground, there's a stone on the ground, people didn't see it just now!"

"Why are you so careless!" Lu Ming had to squat down, put Liu Jing's arm on his shoulder, and half-back and half-pull her to continue walking. "I'll help you to the station, and after a while, ask Peng Xuewen and them, see if anyone has brought plasters? Zhang Songling, please help me carry my luggage! ”

"Alas!" Zhang Songling, who was bored, agreed, and happily stepped forward to pick up Lu Ming's package. Yesterday, because he temporarily changed his mind and was about to go to Nanjing, he was unanimously snubbed by the members of the Blood Flower Society led by Fang Guoqiang. And Peng Weiwei, for some reason, didn't say a word to him after she finished painting makeup in the suite.

This made Zhang Songling feel very depressed, and wanted to ask Peng Weiwei several times if her previous words were just to deceive herself, so that she could vote for his brother. But when the words came to his lips, he was afraid of knowing the answer, so he had to secretly distress alone.

Several older brothers and sisters, although they see Zhang Songling's situation very clearly. But they didn't bother to take care of him anymore and help him solve the troubles he would inevitably encounter when he grew up. Only Liu Jing, perhaps out of sympathy, still took care of him as a little brother. got up this morning to see everyone off, and Liu Jing has been walking in a row with him, closely following Lu Ming's footsteps.

"Why are you so careless!" While walking, the words of the two people at the front of the team kept drilling into Zhang Songling's ears and eyes. "In the future, when you are alone on the road, you should be more careful. Peng Xuewen's guy is unreliable, and Zhang Songling is young and can't help you. When you arrive in Nanjing, remember to send a telegram home. Send me one if possible! My family has a distant relative in Peking who works in a foreign firm. I'll write you the address of his house later! ”

"You, can't you learn from Zhang Songling and accompany me back to the south!" Liu Jing pretended to moan in pain, and prayed in Lu Ming's ear in a very low voice.

"I don't like to do things halfway! Fang Guoqiang said it well, if you want to back down, you can always find an excuse. I quit today, and I will definitely quit in the future! Lu Ming's words were very hard, but his tone was a little soft that was unique to southern students.

"Then, how can that person go back after sending you away today. Their feet hurt so badly....." Liu Jing sighed faintly, lay on Lu Ming's ear, and said quietly.

"Me, let me think!" This question is difficult, and the long-fingered Lu Ming was stopped at that time, frowning, and struggling to find a solution to both worlds.

"This Sister Liu is really good! When Brother Lu meets her, I don't know how much suffering I will have to suffer in the future!" Listening to all the fleshy and numb dialogues of the two in his ears, Zhang Songling secretly stuck out his tongue behind his back. Compared with the two, Peng Weiwei looks more and more simple and cute. It's just that if Peng Weiwei is also coquettish to herself like Liu Jing, she may also be like Lu Qing......

Just as I was envious, I suddenly heard a few crisp sounds in my ears. It's like a firecracker during the New Year, but it's a little hurried and a little brittle. Then, he saw a huge blood flower, blooming from the back of Lu Ming, the long finger, red and dazzling.

"Lu Ming, Lu Ming, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, don't-ah-" Liu Jing didn't care about pretending to be lame anymore, hugged the shaky Lu Ming with both hands, and screamed miserably. Then there were a few crisp sounds, and the same blood flowers bloomed bewitchingly on her neck, back, and thighs, spewing out clouds of red mist.

"Bang bang, bang bang......" The sound of 'firecrackers' continued, and Zhang Songling was completely stunned, holding his duffel bag in one hand and standing frozen in place. It's a dream, it must be a dream! He refused to believe what he saw, instinctively choosing to escape, but no matter what, he couldn't wake himself up from the nightmare.

He saw Tian Qingyu rushing past his right side, trying to use his body to protect Han Qiu, who was in a hurry to pull Liu Jing. However, they didn't block anything, hugging Han Qiu, spinning in circles in the morning light, and the two of them were full of dazzling red!

"Run, run!" Big brother Zhou Jue rushed forward and pushed Zhang Songling, but he couldn't pull him out of the "nightmare". In a daze, Zhang Songling's eyes chased after Zhou Jue, and saw him push Li Di, and then ran over to push Fang Guoqiang and Peng Xuewen, who were also stupid, ........ I saw him like Christ on the cross in the church, with open arms, running to the distant gunshots, shouting loudly as he ran: "The Chinese don't fight the Chinese, China doesn't fight the Chinese." Patriotism is not guilty, anti-Japanese is not guilty! Chinese Don't hit ......."

Another row of relentless gunshots rang out, and Zhou Jue's body shook and was riddled with bullet holes. But he didn't want to fall, and continued to open his arms and shout, as if this would protect all his companions behind him, "Run, run, run, run-"

"Run, run!" I don't know who pulled Zhang Songling again and dragged him to his feet. Then, he began to run as hard as he could. Regardless of Liu Jing, who fell in a pool of blood, he didn't dare to look at Zhou Jue who opened his arms in the sun, spread his legs, and ran in the direction away from the gunshots.

After running a few steps, he saw a student from Peking fall in the left direction in front of him. Then, another female classmate, who was hit by a bullet in the back and fell in a pool of blood, but did not die immediately, supported her body with her arms, and continued to crawl with difficulty. Then, there is the third student, the fourth student, and the fifth student......

Suddenly, he tripped over his leg and stumbled and fell. After rolling a few times, he saw Peng Weiwei, lying beside him, already unconscious, and her beautiful face was stained with blood. I don't know where the strength came from, he screamed and jumped up, hugged Peng Weiwei, ran to the nearest woods to him, and then like an elk, regardless of the traps and ambushes in the forest, he stumbled and ran farther away, farther and farther......

The entire woods were quickly enveloped in the morning light. In the bizarre dream, there seemed to be countless elves chanting in a low voice:

"The flowers of May, blooming all over the field,

Flowers cover the blood of the aspirants.

To save this dying nation,

They are fighting tenaciously.

………

First the female voices, then the male voices, and then countless men and women sang in unison. Gather into the grandest melody of this era, in the morning light, loudly, to the fullest.

"The flowers of May, blooming all over the field,

Flowers cover the blood of the heroes,

To save this dying nation......
