Emotional matters can't be forced, and procrastination can't stop the parting in front of you.

"Brothers,"

As the morning sun rose, Li Siwei's gaze slowly swept over the soldiers who were still reluctant to give up, and forced a smile to himself, "It's my Li Cannon's luck to meet you...... Although I am gone, you will always be my brothers, if any of you miss me, go to Jiangcheng to find me...... It's the 'Li Ji Grain and Oil Shop' on Jiangcheng North Street, and the second brother will always be there! ”

"Gotta get it!"

All the soldiers nodded.

"That's it!"

Li Siwei looked up at the rising sun, and took the package from Hu Dayan's hand, "The days are short in winter, and there are more than 2,000 miles ahead!" ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei saluted the soldiers, turned around, took Ning Rou's hand and strode towards the big truck waiting on the side.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Huang Hua, Wu Tianyou and others saluted, and then turned around and walked to the big trucks waiting next to them.

Of course, the big trucks in the regiment could only take them to the station and the docks, and they had to take a boat or train on their own.

Li Siwei wanted to go back to his hometown in Jiangcheng, so he naturally chose to take a boat, Jiang Yu and Li Li Shaolong and others followed Li Siwei on the same big truck, and they all took the waterway.

From Nanjing to Chongqing, there is a direct channel of the Yangtze River, and it is convenient and fast to take the waterway, in the past, Beijing and Shanghai fell one after another, and most of the factories, schools and refugees who moved to the rear were transported by ship.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Li Taibai left the poem of "the white emperor of the court, a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day", of course, Nanjing was called Jinling in ancient times instead of Jiangling, naturally it can not come in one day, however, at this time, the whole country was recovered, most of the factories and schools and refugees who moved into the rear chose to return to their homeland to rebuild their homes, the waterway traffic at this time was very busy, and the crew drove a steamer very fast along the way, but docked at the Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing on three or five days.

Li Siwei and his entourage of more than ten people changed to a small passenger ferry and continued to travel west.

Along the way, time has diluted the sorrow, and at this time it is close to home, and everyone has a little more expectation in their hearts, and their emotions are naturally much higher, and there are more laughter.

"River fish,"

On the deck, Li Siwei was smoking with Jiang Yu and Li Li Shaolong, and suddenly looked at Jiang Yu with a smile, "What are you going to do when you go back?" Do you want to continue pulling the boat? ”

"Don't pull it!"

Jiang Yu took off the cigarette in his mouth and quickly shook his head, but there was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, "If you can't make a few dollars by pulling a boat, you will definitely not be able to support Xiulian and the baby ......."

Saying that, Jiang Yu suddenly looked solemn, "Leader, when Xiulian gives birth to a baby, I will do a full moon wine, when the time comes, you can't hide and not come!" ”

"Uh......"

Li Siwei was stunned and laughed, "Don't worry!" Lao Tzu is definitely going! ”

"Good!"

Jiang Yu smiled, turned his head, and slowly swept his gaze over the faces of the other brothers, "Shaolong, Wuershan, Moji, Ujila, Tianming, Zesheng, Shangying, Sheng Xiang...... Don't even think of hiding! ”

"Haha......"

The brothers laughed, "Don't hide! Don't hide...... We just wanted to see if my little nephew would be as elf as your turtle! ”

"That's it! It is! ”

Liu Shaojun didn't smoke, but when he heard laughter, he also came out of the cabin, and patted Jiang Yu's shoulder with a smile, "Brother Yu was very angry at the beginning, and he dared to be the head of the regiment on the first day!" ”

"Uh......"

Jiangyu's face turned red, glared at Liu Shaojun, and looked at Li Siwei in disdain, "I was ...... That's ignorance! ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all remembered that incident, and suddenly burst into laughter again, "Turtle'er, if you hadn't practiced so much, would you be able to come back now?" ”

"Alright,"

Li Siwei smiled and waved his hand, looking at Li Li Shaolong, "Shaolong, what about you?" What are you going to do when you go back? ”

"Me?"

Li Li Shaolong was stunned for a moment and frowned, "I really haven't thought about this...... You should first turn over the house, then raise some sheep and hunt! ”

Li Li Shaolong's hometown is in the mountains of northwest Yunnan, and the land is sparsely populated, but the land is not suitable for growing crops.

"Hmmm......"

Li Siwei nodded lightly, groaned slightly, and his gaze slowly swept over everyone, "Brothers, it's still the same sentence...... If you can trust me Li Cannon, settle down at home, come to Jiangcheng to find me, and I'll take you out to break through! ”

"Gotta get it!"

Someone hurriedly agreed, "Follow the head of the regiment, you have the bottom in your heart!" ”

Some people also muttered, "I'm afraid that there will be a lot of things at home, and it will be the end of the year after settling down......"

"Moshit!"

Li Siwei smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to go out until the end of the New Year!" ”

If Li Siwei wants to go out and break out of the world, he naturally can't miss a group of brothers who have a heart-to-heart around him, and he naturally said the above words to Huang Hua, Wu Tianyou and others, and it may take a lot of time for them to get together.

"That's good!"

Everyone nodded, "We'll go to Jiangcheng after the New Year!" ”

Jiangcheng is only half a day away from Chongqing by water, and at ten o'clock in the evening, Li Siwei got off the boat at Jiangcheng Wharf, and after saying goodbye to the brothers one by one, he took Ning Rou straight to North Street.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the city was a lively scene, with crowds of people in front of various shops, shouting, talking and laughing endlessly.

In front of Li Ji's grain and oil shop, Ning Yuan was directing two men to carry rice and noodles to an ox cart, and when he turned his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two familiar figures coming out of the crowd, and suddenly stiffened, and looked at the two of them in a daze and smiled, "Brother-in-law......

"Xiaoyuan,"

Li Siwei pulled Ning Rou over with a smile, "When did you come back?" ”

"Hey, hey,"

Ning Yuanhan greeted him with a smile, "As soon as the little devil surrenders, I will come back with Sister Ruolan and her classmates." ”

Saying that, Ning Yuan looked at Ning Rou again, and called weakly, "Sister......"

"Xiaoyuan,"

Ning Rou raised her hand and gently patted the dust on Ning Yuan's shoulder, and sighed, "Why don't you go back to school when you come back?" ”

"Oh......"

Ning Yuan's expression suddenly darkened, and he hurriedly looked at Li Siwei, "Brother-in-law, you go home quickly, uncle is very sick......

It turned out that Old Man Li was seriously ill, so Li Kun asked Ning Yuan to help take care of the shop.

After hearing this, Li Siwei hurriedly found a carriage and rushed to Sifang Village, and finally arrived in front of the bluestone bridge at the entrance of the village at ten o'clock in the evening.

The lights of the Sifang Village under the night were lit, quiet and peaceful, as in the past, Li Siwei and Ning Rou got out of the carriage and hurried to the village with flashlights.

The night wind is a little cold, and there is no figure on the road in the village, and occasionally the barking of dogs sounds, which adds a bit of vitality to the winter night in this mountain village.

The two walked along the avenue to the front of the old mansion and happened to meet Li De who came out of the courtyard gate.

The strong man in the past has shown a bit of a rickety image, with a sad look on his face full of vicissitudes, and suddenly saw Li Siwei and Ning Rou coming hurriedly, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Siwei in a daze, "Are you ...... The fourth ......"

"Brother De,"

Li Siwei hurriedly shouted, "You ......"

"Fourth!"

Li De suddenly perked up, grabbed Li Siwei's arm and dragged him into the courtyard, but his voice suddenly trembled, "Hurry up...... Uncle...... Waiting for you, waiting...... It's so hard ......."

Saying that, Li Siwei had been dragged into the courtyard, and he saw that the lights inside and outside the house were bright, and several servants were going in and out of the hall...... But no one spoke, only a weak voice moaning softly, "Uh...... Uh......"

Hearing that voice, Li Siwei felt that his nose was sour, and tears burst out of his eyes.

There is no need for Li De to explain more, Li Siwei has already understood everything...... The last time he faced such a situation was in another time and space, when Li Siwei was only eleven years old...... That year, his grandfather was gone, and when he left, the situation at home was exactly the same as it is now.

In the rural areas of eastern Sichuan, the elderly are moved to a hall before they die, and the whole family will stay with him...... It's called "send-off"!

"Bang...... Snap ......"

Li Siwei broke free of Li De's hand, stumbled into the hall, and went straight to the cool bed in the middle of the hall.

Li Gan and the others who were guarding the side of the bed heard the movement and looked over, and when they saw that it was Li Siwei who hurriedly made a way, Li Siwei stumbled to the side of the bed, only glanced at it, and then fell to the ground with a "poof", stretched out his hand tremblingly, held the old man's hand that was as thin as a dry branch, and choked out, "Daddy......"

"Uh......"

On the cool bed, the old man still closed his eyes and moaned softly, but two lines of turbid tears came out of the corners of his eyes and slid down the wrinkled corners of his eyes, "Uh......"

"Daddy......"

Li Siwei raised his hand a little flustered and wiped the tears from the corners of the old man's eyes, and he was already crying out loud, "Dad...... Whining...... I am back...... Woowoo...... Your son is coming back to see you......"

"Woo ......"

The old lady on the side, Wu Ruolan's daughters-in-law, and a group of children also cried.

"Uh......"

The old lady's eyelids moved, and tears continued to pour out, but a smile appeared on her dry face like tree bark, "Uh...... Uh......", the moan grew weaker and weaker...... Eventually, the smile froze on his old face.

The old man left and couldn't catch one last look at Li Siwei, but he knew that Li Siwei was back, and his son was back!

Li Siwei came back in a hurry, but it was a farewell again!

The moonlight was cold, the night was hazy, and there were cries floating on the hills on the eastern outskirts of Qingheji.

"Daddy......"

Liao Heiniu sat down in front of a new grave, his big hand slowly stroking and stroking on the tombstone, caressing, big tears were already raining, "Why can't you wait any longer...... Wait...... My son will be able to come back...... Look, my son is still ...... I also bought you rock candy...... You just get up and eat some! Get up and eat a little......"

"Pop ......"

Tears dripped down the plate in front of the tombstone, and the rock candy on the plate was already soaked with the hot tears.

Behind Liao Heiniu, Yilong and his two younger brothers knelt in a row, silently bowing their heads and crying.

The night does not understand the sorrow of people, but just looks coldly.

On this day, Li Siwei and Liao Heiniu had just arrived home, and Huanghua in Chuzhou had already returned to the Taoist temple, but he also failed to see the last face of the master who pulled him up.

In the hazy moonlight, only the side room in the dilapidated Taoist temple was still lit with dim lights, which was the dining hall.

At this time, the rice had been eaten, the bowl had been washed, and Huang Hua and the two senior brothers were sitting around the table where the paint had peeled, all groaning.

"Senior brother,"

After a long time, the senior brother with a face full of vicissitudes opened his mouth, "You are still young...... Let's go! ”

"I ......"

Huang Hua's lowered head suddenly raised, and he looked at the two senior brothers with a sneer, "I will come back to see you often!" ”

"Hmmm......"

The second senior brother with an honest face nodded lightly, and hesitated slightly, "Third senior brother...... The way to survive is the way! This goes...... Be careful! ”

"yes!"

The senior brother also nodded slightly, and a trace of worry surged on his vicissitudes of life, "Today, this day ...... I'm afraid that there will be a big turmoil, so it's better not to get involved rashly! ”

"Yes!"

Huang Hua hurriedly agreed, "Two senior brothers, please rest assured, I will stay away from this turmoil when I go down the mountain on this trip!" ”

In the old house of the Wu family in Pingyi City, the dialogue between Wu Tianyou and Wu Tianci was a different scene.

Pingyi City was devastated by the war, and almost all of the Wu family's old houses were razed to the ground, and the surviving houses were dilapidated.

In a remnant side room in the backyard, Wu Tianyou and Wu Tianci sat opposite each other, with a small bulging bag on the table, in addition to a dim oil lamp as yellow as a bean.

"The third child,"

Wu Tianci was still persuading earnestly, "My Wu family's roots are in Pingyi!" Where can you go? ”

"Big brother,"

Wu Tianyou lowered his eyes slightly, and opened his mouth with difficulty, "I ...... I don't know where I'm going, but ...... I really can't follow you......"

As he spoke, Wu Tianyou slowly raised his head, his expression a little more determined, "If I follow you...... The future is really like what the four dimensions say...... Can I still fight my former brothers? That...... What have I become? ”

"Alas......"

Hearing this, Wu Tianci had to sigh helplessly, "Third child, why don't you understand?" Didn't the secretary of that knife be ...... before?"

"Big brother!"

Wu Tianyou hurriedly interrupted Wu Tianci, his expression calm, "Your ideals, your great principles...... I don't understand, but I know one thing - I must not use a knife or a gun against my brothers who have fought side by side! ”

The November night was slightly cool, the insects were stiff, and there was no more noisy insect chirping in the night wind, but a storm that was about to sweep the land of China was already quietly brewing.

In this storm, everyone has their own plans and their own persistence!

In a dilapidated mansion somewhere in Pingyi City, Dao Kui sat quietly on the steps outside the door, looking up at the hazy moonlight, the cigarette in his mouth was clearly extinguished in the hazy night, but the tangled look on his face had gradually dissipated, and his eyes were full of determination.

Fighting for national liberation, Lao Tzu is not wrong!
