Chapter Seventy-One: Turning Fake into True Beacon Love

Shuihe Village. Village office. The conference room of the Eighth Route Army supplementary regimental headquarters. Yu Genshan, political commissar, chief of staff, Huang Zhongde, Han Dagang, Wu Staff Officer and others looked at Tian Yuanxiu suspiciously and curiously.

"I met Franciscan in early July of the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), when I actively participated in the underground anti-Japanese salvation movement of college students with him in Beiping, and he was one of the leaders of our organization. We fell in love and united in many secret and dangerous operations, but more than a month after I became pregnant, Francis suddenly left me, disappeared, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then, and his fate has been unknown for several years. After the Japanese army completely ruled Beiping, the life of the common people became more and more difficult, and I really had no way to live with my child, so I had to bring my daughter to him. ”

"Humph! This Francis! I didn't expect him to have serious life style problems. Isn't he messing around? He, he's in chaos and abandonment. Ruthless and ruthless! Huang Zhongde said angrily.

"Chief, you can't say that about my husband. Francis, I share the same aspirations and are of the right age, we truly love each other, we are not messing around, and he will not abandon me. I think that there must have been a last resort for Fang Jiren to leave Peking and leave me suddenly. ”

Chief of Staff: "Does Francis know you have a daughter?" ”

"He didn't know. If Francis had known that I was pregnant, he would not have left me, or taken me with him, and would never have left me alone. Francis is a responsible, responsible, affectionate and righteous man. You should know him well. ”

Huang Zhongde: "Ouch! Miss Oda, you are so innocent. Francis treats you like this, and you say good things for him. Even if he left you for a last resort, how many years have passed? Why didn't he go to Peking to find you? ”

Political Commissar: "Miss Xiaotian, just now you said that Fang Jiren may have left you for a last resort, what kind of unavoidable reason could it be?" ”

"This? This one? Chief, I can't tell, it's just a feeling of mine. At that time, Francis's situation was very dangerous, our organization was destroyed, and Francis's identity was exposed, so he had to leave Peking immediately. ”

Yu Genshan: "Oh? So Francis is an underground worker of the Communist Party? ”

"I don't know if Francis is a member of the Communist Party, he never told me about it, and I asked him, and he always laughed and didn't answer, and said that the more you know, the more dangerous it is."

Political Commissar: "Miss Xiaotian, what specific things did you and Fang Jiren do when they participated in the underground anti-Japanese work in Beiping?" ”

"This group of me and Fang Jiren is mainly responsible for carrying out the tasks of raising donations for the anti-Japanese resistance and buying Western medicine and medical equipment. The rest is done by other groups. We didn't know each other in each other's groups, and we had one-way contact with our superiors. ”

Staff Officer Wu: "Yo? So it's very likely that Francis is an underground party? ”

Huang Zhongde immediately denied: "Staff Officer Wu, you can't say that. Although Fang Jiren did some anti-Japanese things, this does not prove that he is an underground party, maybe he is only a member of the peripheral organization of my underground party. Miss Oda, do you and Fang Jiren go together every time they go on a mission? Has he ever gone it alone? Who have you seen him come into contact with? ”

"In order to make it easier to move and hide from others, Francis and I pretended to be a couple in love every time we were on a mission, and then slowly developed into a real couple. When he was in Peiping, Fang Jiren did not come into contact with many people. However, I had met him a few times with a German SS officer, and their relationship seemed familiar. Once, I accidentally found out that Fang Jiren had also gone to the headquarters of the Japanese North China Garrison in Tieshi Hutong with this officer, and he didn't tell me when he returned home in the evening, and I didn't dare to ask. He also went to No. 1 Dongchang Hutong in Wangfujing, which is now renamed Dongchang Hutong. Later, Francis simply told me that he had associated with German officers in order to buy Western medicine and medical equipment for the Eighth Route Army. He didn't say why he went to No. 1 Dongchang Hutong. ”

Tian Yuanxiu's words made Yu Genshan and the others more and more confused, and they were secretly guessing in their hearts, who is Fang Jiren? How did you still have something to do with the officers of the German SS? What did they do together at the headquarters of the Japanese garrison in North China? The more they thought about it, the more they felt that Francis's identity was complicated and terrifying.

The commissar's face was gloomy, and he said as if to himself:

"Why did Fang Jiren go to No. 1 Dongchang Hutong again? It turned out to be Li Yuanhong's residence, and after the Japanese army occupied Beiping, it became the Japanese Oriental Cultural Affairs Committee, which was actually a special agency for Japan's cultural aggression against China. ”

Han Dagang: "Then how do you know that you can find Fang Jiren when you come to Lin'an County?" ”

"When we were in love, Fang Jiren told me that his hometown was in Lin'an County, and he worked as a partner in the Jishi Pharmacy in the county, so I came."

Huang Zhongde: "Miss Xiaotian, you have a difficult life with your children, do your parents care about you?" Can you tell us a little bit about your family? ”

"My mom and dad were adamantly opposed to me marrying Francis, who didn't have a proper job and stable employment, and my dad brutally kicked me out of the house when he knew I was pregnant, and it was my mom who had been secretly sponsoring me and taking care of me and my children......"

Huang Zhongde: "Look, look, Fang Jiren is really evil!" ”

Yu Genshan: "Director Huang, don't be impatient, let Miss Xiaotian finish speaking." ”

"My dad is a clerk at the Beiping Ping'an Tai Trading Company, and my mom is a Chinese teacher at Beiman Girls' High School in Peiping, and they don't have much salary. Our family lives at No. 17 Dahuaishu Hutong, Ministry of Justice Street, Qianmen, and I am the only girl in the family. ”

Commissar: "Oh, I know. Beman Girls' High School is a church school founded in 1904 by the American Congregational Church. The teachers and students of Beman Girls' High School have a progressive tradition and have participated in the 'One and Two. IX', 'V. Four' and other sports. ”

"Chiefs, do you really not know where Francis is now? Or do you know but don't know it to me? Please tell me for the sake of the children. ”

The political commissar said sincerely: "Miss Xiaotian, it's not that I won't tell you, we really don't know where Fang Jiren is now, and we are also looking for him." ”

"Okay. Since Fang Jiren is not in Shuihe Village, then I will leave, thank you chiefs, for causing you trouble. Niuniu, come, come with Mommy. ”

The political commissar put down the sleepy-eyed Niu Niu and said softly:

"Miss Oda, don't be in a hurry to leave. Stay here for a few days, maybe one day Francis will come back, won't you be reunited? ”

"Thank you. My child and I can't wait any longer, I'm going to find him right away. ”

Yu Genshan: "Oh, Miss Xiaotian, where are you going to find Fang Jiren in such a big Lin'an County?" Besides, it's too hard and too dangerous for you to carry your children. ”

"Don't be afraid. Even if I ran all over Lin'an County, I must find him. ”

Political commissar: "Otherwise, Miss Xiaotian, you can stay here for a day or two, you have been walking with the child for several days, you must be very tired, you should have a good rest." You can leave whenever you want, and I'll send two fighters to see you off. All right? ”

"That's fine, thank you for your concern. In the past two days, the child has been a little unwell and may be sick, can you find a doctor to see her and prescribe some medicine. Alas! If my daughter had any mistakes and saw Francis in the future, I wouldn't be able to explain it to him. ”

Political Commissar: "Well, Miss Oda, don't worry too much. When you arrive at Shuihe Village, if you have any problems and difficulties, we will definitely help you solve them. Staff Officer Wu, you send their mother and daughter to the health team to rest, and the accommodation conditions there are the best in the whole regiment. Ask them what they want to eat. Try to keep them well fed. Let Dr. Jiang examine their bodies and take a good look at whether the child is sick? Alas! What a good child, you can't let her be wronged. ”
