Chapter 15 Youth Caught in the Tide of the Times

Slightly thin, eighteen or nineteen-year-olds dressed in the students' signature tunics, holding books and reading them around the campus.

The students in the school, as well as the spies and spies who peep at each other from time to time, seem to have been completely forgotten by the young people, and they are completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

"Yang Kuan, are you still working so hard after this holiday?"

Seeing the young people coming, some familiar students smiled and asked, and even a few good-looking female students had their eyes wandering, secretly sending autumn waves.

"I have a thin foundation, I can't keep up with the progress, so I can only work hard......"

The young Yang An responded, smiling a little shyly, and did not go home during the New Year, on the one hand, because he was rejected by Song Jiawen and saved money for his family, and on the other hand, it was also related to his studies not being able to keep up.

It's not that he's lazy or doesn't work, in fact, he knows too well how determined his eldest brother and sister are to send him to the new school, how much effort he needs to put in, and how dare he be lazy with such a precious learning opportunity?

It's just that although he has been reading and reading under the teaching of Yang Yi since he was a child, he is just literate, and his learning is very unsystematic, and now the new school is not only those things of the Four Books and Five Classics, but also courses such as chemistry, arithmetic, physics, etc., which he has never been exposed to before, and other students can easily understand things, and it is like listening to books from heaven in his place.

There is no way to do this, the only thing Yang An can do is to seize all the time to read and study more, hoping to slowly catch up with the progress of the seniors.

Seeing that there were no suspicious people around, a senior came over and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, all of our school will march on the streets to cheer for the country and the people, will you go?" ”

Yang An, of course, knew about the 129th Parade that in order to respond to the 129th Parade, the school was secretly organizing demonstrations, and although he participated less, he would not be unaware.

Hearing the senior's words, Yang An was a little hesitant.

He also participated in a lot of private speeches by progressive students, and every time he heard the history of the country being oppressed by foreign powers, he also felt humiliated, and when he heard those students chanting the slogan of resisting Japan and saving the country and rejuvenating China, he was also enthusiastic, and he couldn't wait to fight to the death with those evil devils.

Just thinking that his eldest brother and younger siblings had worked hard to send him to study, if he wasted time and distracted himself for this, Yang An would feel deeply guilty and feel sorry for them.

"If we continue like this, we will die - what do you want?"

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, how can the young people of my generation sit idly by and watch ......"

Several students came over and roared sadly, looking at Yang An's eyes full of hatred for iron and steel, as if if he didn't go, he would be sorry for the country and the nation!

"So, when will you go?"

Looking at the sad faces of those seniors, Yang An couldn't help but ask with some shame.

"The spy gendarmes are closely watching, we must gather before they notice, the time of the assembly is tomorrow morning, you must come!"

Seeing that he seemed to agree, several students smiled and said: "Let's work together for the revitalization of China and live up to the youth!" ”

Alas!

Disturbed by this, Yang An lost the mood to read, and walked back with a gentle sigh, feeling at a loss because of the times - at this juncture when the country was ruined, he also wanted to contribute to the country, but on the other hand, he was afraid that if he did this, his eldest brother and younger siblings would be disappointed in him.

In the tide of the times, the question of whether to go to the national disaster together or to stay alone deeply troubled him.

"Yang An, what are you thinking?"

Someone patted Yang Kuan on the shoulder, only then did he wake up from his distressed emotions, and when he saw the face that even when he laughed, he was a little worried about the country and the people, and said happily: "Brother Quan Lin, I haven't seen you for several days, and I've been worried about you......"

"I'm fine!"

Yang Quanlin smiled and said, "How's the homework?" If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me! ”

The two walked back, Yang Kuan listened to Yang Quanlin talk eloquently about the questions he asked, but he couldn't listen to them, and looked up at Yang Quanlin's side face from time to time, the brilliance and bearing on that face made him can't help but be impressed.

Yang Quanlin is an underground party member, and Yang Kuan has known for a long time that the private meetings of those progressive youths he participated in were presided over by Yang Quanlin nine times out of ten.

Every time he listens to Yang Quanlin talk about those ideals on the stage, the bright future of those countries and nations, Yang Kuan feels like he will shine, and countless times he wishes that he could become a person like him - no matter how difficult the current situation is, he will always be confident in the future, always firm, and not afraid of any danger......

Yang Kuan also knew that the student parade on the campus was promoted by Yang Quanlin behind his back, so every time he saw those gendarmes and spies, he couldn't help but worry about him.

"Understood, no ......"

Yang Quanlin finished answering the question asked by Yang Kuan, and when he saw Yang Kuan's eyes, he smiled: "Why are you absent-minded?" Is something wrong? ”

"No, no ......"

Yang Kuan shook his head with dodgy eyes, and finally said, "Brother Quan Lin, aren't you not afraid of danger at all when you do those things?" If you get caught by the secret service, it's ......."

He did not continue, because once the revolutionary party was caught, there was only one end, and that was death.

Even he himself has witnessed more than once the captured revolutionaries being paraded through the streets and then taken to the execution ground to shoot targets.

"Of course I'm afraid, I'm not a monkey, I have seventy-two lives......"

Yang Quanlin laughed, slowly retracted his smile and looked into the distance and said: "But there are some things, someone must do it, so even if you know the danger, you have to do it, if no one stands up, our country will really have no future......

Yang Kuan only felt that his nose was a little sour, and only after a while did he say, "I'm sorry, I ......"

"Don't say such things, everyone has their own ambitions!"

Yang Quanlin naturally knew that Yang Kuan said sorry, he meant that he wanted to develop him into a member of the organization and was rejected by Yang Kuan, so he stopped him from saying that he continued: "Serving the country is not only our way, you study hard and succeed in learning, you can also serve the country, maybe in the end, our road is wrong, and your path is right and not necessarily ......."

"Hmm!"

Yang Kuan nodded and said, "I heard that there will be a parade tomorrow, and there are military police agents everywhere now, you have to be careful yourself......

"Good!"

Yang Quanlin smiled, and after entering the house and closing the door, his face became serious, and he said in a low voice: "Yang Kuan, you were drunk that time, and said that you and your eldest brother were hunting, and saved the people we organized the troops, is it true?" ”

Yang Kuan nodded.

If this matter spreads, it will be a big crime to kill the head, if someone else asks, he will definitely say that he is bragging, but in the face of Yang Quanlin, he will not hide it in the slightest.

Of course, at the same time, Yang Kuan also warned himself in his heart that he must not drink indiscriminately in the future, as soon as he drinks, his mouth will not be able to control his tongue.

"You and your eldest brother saved us, are there any other reasons besides money?" Yang Quanlin asked with burning eyes.

"Because your people don't look as bad as they say on the radio...... And hundreds of people from the government are chasing and beating a dozen of them, which feels a bit too bullying......"

Yang Kuandao, he clearly remembered that he was hunting in the mountains with his eldest brother at that time, and when a dozen or so ragged red bandits were chased by the government army, he still did not forget to remind himself to run with his eldest brother, so as not to be killed by the government army as they were carried back to receive the reward.

How bad can a person who can remember the safety of irrelevant people when he is about to die?

"We are not bad people in the first place, we just want to save the country and save the people!"

Hearing this answer, Yang Quanlin smiled with satisfaction: "I'm relieved to hear you say this, I came to you to ask you to do me a favor......

As he spoke, he took out the roster and put it on the table and said: "I know the situation in your family, to be honest, if there is a way, I will not ask you for help, but our people are all targeted by military police agents, once the parade is launched, we people don't know how many people can escape the pursuit, I want you to help me keep this roster, and when the large army we organized survives the crisis, someone will naturally contact you and get the ......roster back."

"Brother Quan Lin, you ......"

Yang Kuan's eyes widened, he suddenly realized that Yang Quanlin was almost explaining the aftermath to himself, he couldn't imagine that a person knew that he would die if he did something, but still resolutely did it, and he could still be so calm.

"Help me, you're the only person I can trust!" Yang Quanlin Road.

Yang Kuan clenched his fists and nodded in agreement, not to mention that he had brother-like feelings for Yang Quanlin in his heart, even if it was a stranger's request before he died, he couldn't refuse.

"Thank you!"

Seeing him agree, Yang Quanlin let out a long sigh of relief and smiled: "I'm very busy, so I won't stay with you for longer, and I've stayed with you for too long, those gendarmerie spies are afraid that they will suspect you and treat you badly - thank you very much!" ”

"Is the procession really assembled in the early hours of tomorrow morning?"

At the moment when Yang Quanlin went out, Yang An suddenly asked.

Yang Quanlin nodded, looked back and smiled very brightly: "Yang Kuan, if I am really caught and will be shot, don't come to the execution ground to see me-I don't want you to see me peeing my pants in fright...... Honestly, I'm really scared of death......"

With that, he walked away.

Yang Kuan's nose was sour when he looked at the other party's back, and he found that Yang Quanlin was completely different from those revolutionary parties he had heard of.

In those legends, these revolutionaries were always unyielding, and in the face of torture, they would spray bloody spit on the faces of the torturers, and then laugh, and even when they went to the execution ground, those revolutionaries would look at the executioner's knife and hold their heads high and have no fear.

But Yang Quanlin actually said that he was afraid of death, and he might be scared to pee his pants, so he didn't let himself go to see it.

But because of this, Yang Kuan felt that the other party was extraordinarily real, like a real person, not a legendary myth.
