Chu Jiao nodded, He Xiaoyan thought carefully and worked hard, can she blame her?

"My classmates and I went in to see a patient and came out in a moment." Chu Jiao opened her mouth to stop Ah Si, and Ah Si hesitated and sat back in the car.

In front is the clinic, and in the back is the courtyard and several rooms. The yard was sloppy, the ground was uneven, and the gutter passed through the middle of the yard.

The doctor, a middle-aged man, with gray hair and not much to talk to, led them to the courtyard, and pointed to a dimly lit room, "He lives here, his injuries are healing well, and he can walk as usual in a month at most." ”

"Thank you." Chu Jiao opened her mouth to thank her, and the doctor nodded, turned around and walked back to the front room.

He Xiaoyan didn't talk much, and there was a look of surprise on her face, as if she had arranged Zhao Youcai in this place, and she had failed to fulfill her responsibilities and obligations.

"Xiaoyan-" Chu Jiao hesitated, took He Xiaoyan's hand and said with a smile: "Let me talk to Brother Zhao alone for a while, don't you mind?" ”

He Xiaoyan's eyes blinked in surprise for a short moment, then returned to normal, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Why should I mind?" Go ahead, I'll take the food I brought to the kitchen and heat it up. ”

"And this money." Chu Jiao took out a few banknotes from her pocket and stuffed them into He Xiaoyan's hand, "It's better for you to give the doctor." Take medicine, eat and drink, don't let the doctor be embarrassed because he is an acquaintance. ”

He Xiaoyan nodded, didn't push back, picked up the money and turned around and walked away.

Chu Jiao gently pushed open the door and walked into the house.

Under the kerosene lamp, Zhao Youcai was carving wood with a small knife. Hearing the knock on the door, he hurriedly turned his head over, and in the dim light, he didn't recognize Chu Jiao at once.

What's more, Chu Jiao is no longer the wild girl with dust and dirt on her face and gray hair, although she didn't deliberately put on makeup, she was just like the two of them at that time.

Chu Jiao also looked at Zhao Youcai carefully, the strange feeling that was both strange and familiar, it took her a long time to get used to it. Seeing Zhao Youcai's confused and puzzled eyes, he couldn't help but smile, walked to the side of the bed and sat down generously, and said, "Brother Zhao, why are you stunned, you don't know me?" ”

The voice was familiar, Zhao Youcai turned sideways again, the light was projected on Chu Jiao, and he recognized the pair of black eyes, and his heart was pounding.

"Hu-" Zhao Youcai squeezed out a smile and snorted, "Miss Hu." ”

"Hehe, nonsense, how easy to remember." Chu Jiao smiled happily, feeling quite proud and proud in her heart, and said, "You also know that that is not my real name. Although you may already know it from Xiaoyan, you still have to formally introduce yourself here, Chu Jiao, clear Chu, proud Jiao, not squeamish Jiao. Brother Zhao is not an outsider, you can call me Gillian. ”

Zhao Youcai nodded, snorted, and said, "Miss Chu, it's okay if you're fine, this, this is really happy." ”

"It's hard, it's the same as Brother Zhao." Chu Jiao smiled bitterly and said, "There are so many dead and injured people, and you can earn it if you can live." Brother Zhao, did you say that? ”

"yes!" Zhao Youcai was aroused, and said in a low voice: "How many brothers have been martyred, those who know each other, those who don't know, one moment they are still eating and chatting together, and the next moment they will ......."

Chu Jiao listened quietly, the war of resistance like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, it can be said that it has just begun, and there will be more sadness and grief in the future!

After a long time, after Zhao Youcai finished speaking sentimentally, Chu Jiaocai sighed: "Brother Zhao, we have to remember the pain and sorrow of the past, but we can't be depressed because of this. I don't know what Brother Zhao's plans are for the future, but I have some ideas, and I hope Brother Zhao can stay and help me. ”

It's very direct, although he didn't say what he wanted to do, but Zhao Youcai definitely didn't know that he was definitely not the kind of person who survived.

"I didn't think about it either." Zhao Youcai thought for a while and said, "Xiaoyan said that when it comes to the Chinese soldier shelter, the International Red Cross can arrange to return to his hometown for cultivation. Or—" he lowered his voice, "take a foreign ship in batches to northern Jiangsu or southern Zhejiang, and rejoin the anti-Japanese resistance." ”

Chu Jiao thought about it, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid Xiaoyan doesn't know about it." The Wusongkou of the Huangpu River has been completely tightly controlled by the Japanese, and they go to other places by foreign ships in batches? Not to mention whether the shipping company is willing to take risks, it is difficult to escape the eyes and ears of the Japanese army if it is such a big operation. Actually, I think it would be more reliable to stay in Shanghai for the time being, and when I find out, I would like to go to Pudong near Shanghai to join the anti-Japanese guerrillas. ”

Zhao Youcai frowned and pondered for a while, nodded approvingly, and said, "I heard that the Loyalty* National Salvation Army has been established in Pudong, and if you can get in touch, it will be very close." ”

"Brother Zhao, stay for the time being!" Chu Jiao said sincerely: "Even if you can't go to Pudong, you can still resist Japan and kill devils in Shanghai." After a pause, Chu Jiao smiled slyly: "Besides, you were ordered to protect me, and this order has not been canceled, right?" ”

This girl?! You've been seriously injured and carried down, and what kind of order have you canceled!

Zhao Youcai smiled a little helplessly, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, I don't know my life well in Shanghai, so I have to listen to your arrangement." ”

"Refreshing." Chu Jiao stretched out her thumbs to praise one, got up and walked to Zhao Youcai's side, rubbed her hands very excitedly, suddenly patted Zhao Youcai's shoulder, and involuntarily said a trendy word, "Good brother, righteous enough." ”

What? Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes, not knowing who this girl learned from this behavior. Although Chu Jiao's rhetoric was a bit of a scoundrel, he seemed to have found the most reasonable excuse, and he didn't feel reluctant at all.

"Take care of your injuries, and then we'll turn this beach upside down." Chu Jiao touched her chin, but unfortunately she didn't have a beard, so she took out money from her pocket again, "Leave this money for Brother Zhao, buy a few clothes, and eat more good food." Don't don't, what is money, how hurtful it is to talk about money! ”

"That, Gillian." Zhao Youcai was made to cry and laugh, "Let's talk about your arrangements first, let me be mentally prepared." ”

"Well, that's fine." Chu Jiao nodded and said, "Brother Zhao, when you are healed, I want to trouble you to be my cousin's bodyguard temporarily." She opened a newspaper and engaged in anti-Japanese propaganda, which I felt was very dangerous. Of course, this is only the first step, and when I have the right arrangements and get the guns and ammunition, I will change them to someone else. We just—"

There was a coughing sound in the yard, Chu Jiao stopped talking, smiled helplessly, and said, "It's Xiaoyan, I'll beckon her in, don't tell her about our affairs, keep it secret!" ”

"Got it, keep it secret." Zhao Youcai smiled bitterly and nodded.

"That's right." Chu Jiao remembered something again, and lowered her voice and admonished: "Brother Zhao, don't say that I am brave in front of Xiaoyan, she is not convinced, and she keeps talking about this; Don't look too familiar, that girl is uncomfortable. ”

Still called someone else's girl? You're a headache for you! Zhao Youcai continued to smile bitterly and sighed secretly.
