Chen Yun still collects newspapers, and she finds that since May, almost all newspapers have been focusing on a big war, all in one city: Xuzhou.

Before she came, she knew that Xuzhou was fighting, and she also knew that Sun Yumin and his troops were going to the front line, as an underground worker, although she did not understand the hardships and dangers on the battlefield, but as a survivor from Nanjing, she could still understand what the war meant.

She is not interested in Xuzhou or Taierzhuang, she just wants to find the news of the eastern part of Henan from countless news, and find even if there is only a few words from Sun Yumin.

By the end of May, the news in the newspapers had shifted to another battlefield, to another location: Lanfeng!

Slowly, the frequency of seeing the 20th Division in the newspaper and seeing Sun Yumin's name increased. At first, the newspapers were all preaching and advocating the national army, and these small victories and small profits that were not mentioned were written as great achievements, and of course there would be 20 divisions among them. However, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and the previous good situation was all buried by one piece of news: Shangqiu was lost.

Although it was written in the newspaper that Huang Jie's troops resisted desperately and were ordered to retreat, even Chen Yun, a person who does not understand military affairs, could see that the Japanese army's attack on Shangqiu took no half a day from beginning to end, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the Huang Department, even if they were all pigs, the devil couldn't slaughter them in half a day.

Chen Yun began to worry, although she didn't know Sun Yumin's specific location now, but she knew that these mouthpieces of the GM Party would definitely only report good news and not bad news, and when the situation was grim in the newspapers, it would indicate that things had deteriorated extremely.

Sure enough, the front page of the declaration on the fifth day of the sixth month prominently published the news of Lanfeng's defeat. Maybe it was really the effect of premonition, Chen Yun's hands kept shaking when she read this report, and when the last line of words appeared in front of her eyes, she suddenly took several steps back, and she didn't even react when the bench next to her feet was knocked to the ground by her.

The rented house is a two-story house, Chen Yun and Deng Xiufen live in two rooms upstairs, and downstairs live Zhang Quan and three other veterans of the former Second Battalion who have long become loyal revolutionary fighters. Because Chen Yun is pregnant, everyone pays special attention to her. The bench fell on the wooden floor, and the loud sound startled Deng Xiufen and Zhang Quan to run over.

When they entered the room, Chen Yun was standing at the window with a newspaper in her hand, although her back was to everyone, but from her slightly shrugged shoulders, everyone could see that she was crying.

"Sister Yun, are you okay?"

Deng Xiufen opened her mouth to ask, and seeing that she didn't respond, she walked to the window and reached out to hold her hand.

Cold!

This was Deng Xiufen's first feeling after holding her hand. This kind of cold feeling has not appeared in her for a long time, Chen Yun's physique is not cold, but sometimes when she is excited, or when she hides something in her heart, her hands and feet will be inexplicably cold.

"Sister Yun, don't scare me, okay?" Deng Xiufen was a little nervous, she was worried that the emotions of adults would affect the child in her belly. "What's the matter, what's the difficulty, can you tell everyone?"

Zhang Quan saw that Deng Xiufen's words didn't work, and he also walked over, but he was a rough man, where would he coax people, so he snatched the newspaper from Chen Yun's hand in a hurry, and complained loudly: "Don't let you work so hard to clean up these waste newspapers, you don't listen." It's better to make yourself this mess now. ”

Deng Xiufen saw that Zhang Quan was a little angry, and glared at him angrily, and was about to make his eyes stop talking, but suddenly remembered that Chen Yun was emotional, and it must have something to do with the newspaper, maybe she saw some news from above, which made her so sad. Who else in this world can make her so depressed and sad, except for the man with the scar on his face!

Thinking of this, Deng Xiufen took the newspaper from Zhang Quan's hand and flipped through it.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! "There was a crisp child's voice outside the window, this little newsboy because Chen Yun has been an old customer who takes care of his business during this time, he simply ran to the front of the house every day to shout, and then waited for Chen Yun to buy a newspaper, who knew that Chen Yun had already bought one on the street today." Outside the number, the national army retreated in eastern Henan, and the commander of the 20th Division, General Sun Yumin, was seriously wounded, and the light of the god of war was about to be extinguished. ”

This sentence shouted from the newspaper boy made Deng Xiufen stop flipping through the motion, she didn't need to look for the newspaper to already know the reason why Chen Yun was heartbroken. At this moment, Deng Xiufen herself didn't know how to comfort her, although last time in Xuchang, this scarred face deeply hurt Chen Yun and made him look down on him, but in his heart, Sun Yumin is still very good, not only because he is his life-saving benefactor, but also because this person does his best to fight with devils every time on the battlefield, unlike some generals of the national army, who run away when they see the plaster flag. The recent victories, except for the big victory in the Battle of Taierzhuang, are basically all fought by him. If it weren't for the 20th Division's stubborn defense of Yanzhou and Jining, the reinforcements of the Japanese North China Front would have flocked down, and if it really came to that point, no one knew what the outcome of the first battle of Taierzhuang was.

You must know that for a period of time, Sun Yumin's name has almost resounded all over the country, and the credit for capturing the flag of the Devil's Wing has been exhausted, not to mention the heavy damage to the Seya Brigade, the Isogu Division and the Lanfeng First World War Bloody Tufeiyuan Division. In these bloody battles, ordinary generals of the national army can only think about it, and they dare not really fight the devil. Coupled with the first battle of the Octagonal Bridge, as well as the bloody battle between Guanghuamen in Nanjing City and the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army, he won the title of "God of War" among the people.

Now that the "God of War" is about to fall, how can the major newspapers not issue a foreign report.

Zhang Quan came out of the second battalion, and he had a deep affection for this old battalion commander, and after hearing this sudden news, he was also stunned. But he was a man after all, and he soon found out that something was wrong, the newspaper only said that he was seriously injured, but did not say that he was dead, thinking of this, he quickly said: "Sister Yun, the battalion commander is only injured, and he is not dead, what are you crying about." ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, not only Deng Xiufen and the others echoed together, but Chen Yun also came to his senses.

"The battalion commander was so seriously injured when he came down from Nanjing, and he still killed so many devils in Liujia Village, Linjiang, and after recuperation, he still lived alive and well, he had nine lives, and the little devils wanted to kill the battalion commander, it was impossible." In order to coax Chen Yun, Zhang Quan said something that he couldn't say before.

yes, he didn't die that easily. He hadn't seen his own flesh and blood, so how could he be willing to leave us like this. After Chen Yun had such an idea, her mood naturally improved a lot, and she said to Deng Xiufen and the others: "Thank you." ”

For several days in a row, Chen Yun wanted to find a little news about Sun Yumin from the newspaper again, but since he was injured, there has been no news of him in the newspaper, and the only thing related to him is that the 20th Division has been appointed a new division commander, although it is the acting division commander, which undoubtedly does not cast a shadow on Chen Yun's psychology.

Fortunately, within a few days, he received a telegram from Wuhan that Chen Lai would come to Shanghai on a steamer with several neighbors in the same town on June 11.

This good news finally made Chen Yun, who had been sad for several days, happy, and began to take action, buying a new small bed in his room, and purchasing a full set of brand new daily necessities, and even underwear and pajamas were properly prepared. I haven't seen each other for several years, I don't know what this sister looks like now, a girl who was as beautiful as a fairy before leaving home, should be even more different now.

Zhang Quan and the four of them also heard that Chen Yun's sister was coming, especially when they heard Deng Xiufen say that her sister was more beautiful than Chen Yun, they all became excited, looking forward to seeing the beauty. can't say that they are superficial, you must know that Chen Yun was shocked in their minds before she was pregnant, and now she actually heard her say that this sister is a grade higher than her, so what kind of beauty does she have!

A room full of people wanted to see Chen Lai, and waited until June 11. Zhang Quan called two rickshaws to wait at the door early, and after they had breakfast, he accompanied the second daughter to the dock to pick up people.

"Sister Yun, how long has it been since Zhang Quan has been so active?" Looking at Zhang Quan, who was busy before and after, Deng Xiufen deliberately teased him.

"It seems that for a while, he didn't feel comfortable without the 'burning stick' in his hand." Chen Yun didn't know the inside story, and when she saw Zhang Quan and their listless appearance a few days ago, she thought it was because the gun was collected and hidden, and she was a little decadent because she didn't fit in.

"Sister Yun, do you think they look unhappy?"

"yes. What's wrong with him today? It's like beating chicken blood. ”

"Because Sister Chen Lai is coming. They hurried to see the beautiful sister. ”

"Oh." Chen Yun seemed to suddenly realize, and then said to Deng Xiufen with a smile: "It must be that you added fuel and vinegar to say something, so they will be like this!" ”

"You can't blame me for this, you said it yourself. Is Sister Chen Lai really that good-looking? More beautiful than you? Deng Xiufen had an incredible expression.

"You'll see it later." Chen Yun pursed her lips and smiled, and got into the rickshaw.

Shanghai Wharf.

When a group of passengers carrying large bags and small bags and helping the old and young rushed out of the exit, Chen Yun was crowded in the crowd under the care of Deng Xiufen and Zhang Quan, staring at each passenger carefully, for fear of leaking Chen Lai. Zhang Quan is very clever, I don't know when he prepared a red paper, on which were written crookedly with the two big characters of Chen Lai, even when he saw Deng Xiufen constantly making fun of him, he held this paper high with both hands.

This human dragon that came out of the fish was about to bottom out soon, but Chen Lai's figure had not yet been found, which made Chen Lai start to worry.

The telegram clearly said that she would come to Shanghai on this steamer, but how could it not?

When he was anxious, several more people appeared on the pedal of the steamer to the shore, several middle-aged people wearing long shirts and carrying suitcases, and a tall and thin boy with a rustic appearance walked out.

Seeing the boy, Chen Yun showed a knowing smile on her face, and her heart hanging in the air was put down, she waved vigorously to those people despite being pregnant, and said to Deng Xiufen beside her while waving: "They are here." ”

Deng Xiufen had already seen those people, but she was just looking around, and she didn't see where the sister she said before was, could it be the big boy with a dirty face and thin face among these people, no, what's the situation, on such a hot day, this boy is still wearing a dogskin hat.

The few people who were walking out had obviously seen Chen Yun and them, and the red paper in Zhang Quan's hand was too conspicuous, and there was a problem if he couldn't see it. Several people quickened their pace, especially the big boy in the middle, who seemed particularly excited.

"Sister Yun, didn't you say that you came with your sister? What a younger brother? Zhang Quan looked very lost, and the red paper he was holding high was also put down by him.

"What are you yelling about? Is younger brother bad? Although Deng Xiufen didn't figure out the situation, she was still defending Chen Yun. In fact, Deng Xiufen felt more strange than Zhang Quan, Chen Yun arranged for the two sisters to live together, if it was really a younger brother, it would be a little inconvenient. Also, the bedding I bought earlier was all pink, and it was not too good for a boy to use it according to the habits of girls. What's even more strange is that the pajamas and underwear that Chen Yun bought were completely bought for girls, and it was impossible for her younger brother to use them.

Chen Yun saw that Deng Xiufen was still thinking nonsense, so she leaned into her ear and said, "It's not convenient for a girl to travel so far, she came here disguised as a man." ”

Hearing this, Deng Xiufen woke up like a dream, her face suddenly bloomed, and she said: "How could I be so stupid, I should have thought of it a long time ago." ”

A few neighbors were about to leave after handing over the big boy to Chen Yun, she was not happy to live or die, so she asked Deng Xiufen to prepare some gifts beforehand, and she had to give one to everyone, thanking them for bringing Chen Lai over completely.

Looking at the big boy in front of him who was yellow and thin, and was still wearing a dogskin hat on a hot day, Zhang Quan was sad and sad, the big beauty he said before didn't see it, and he had to help this stinky boy carry his luggage, which was really unwilling.

After returning to the residence, Zhang Quan and the others took their luggage to Chen Yun's room and went downstairs. The few of them didn't care about the difference between men and women, how could the sister and brother live in the same room, and they didn't even pay attention to Deng Xiufen's shouts that they were going to prepare some food.

"Tired, aren't you?" Chen Yun took the big boy's hand and carefully observed his complexion.

"Well, it's a little tired. The boat was like a big rocking chair, and my bones were almost crumbling. The big boy said a string of silver bell-like female voices, he pulled back from Chen Yun's hand, and immediately lifted her blouse, reached out to touch the bulging round belly, and asked with a smile: "Sister, what you have in your belly is my little nephew, right?" I'm going to be an aunt. ”

"Yes, it's so fast, my little princess is going to be an aunt." Chen Yun teased her, wiped her face as she spoke, and asked, "What do you put on your face?" How can it be so yellow? ”

"This is Uncle Hu's idea, he said that I am a girl, if I am really targeted, they will not be able to protect me, so I changed into men's clothes. They also smeared a layer of yellow mud on my face, and that's not all, they also put a layer of wax on my face, which is unbearable to death these days. Chen Lai was a little unhappy, she said coquettishly: "Sister, I want to take a bath, my body is about to stink to death." ”

"Good, good, good! Your sister Xiufen is already helping you boil the bath water, so bear with it a little longer, my little princess. Chen Yun reached out and scratched her nose.

Zhang Quan, the four of them would never have imagined that this big boy who made them ignore would be so stunned and amazed that he didn't look like a woman in the world.

At the lunch table, Deng Xiufen prepared a sumptuous meal, Zhang Quan and the others waited for a while, but they didn't see Chen Yun taking the "big boy" down, and they couldn't help but be unhappy in their hearts, and even began to complain.

The light footsteps of three people came from the stairs, and under the gaze of Zhang Quan, Chen Yun, who had a big belly, slowly walked down with the support of Deng Xiufen and another girl in white.

Zhang Quan's eyes of the four of them were stunned, staring at the woman in white.

The girl in white in front of her is draped in long wet hair, her skin is better than snow, her eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when she looks forward to it, she has an elegant and elegant temperament, which makes people feel ashamed of herself and dare not blaspheme.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Lai, and I'm her sister." She pointed at Chen Yun.

Zhang Quan listened to her spit out like a bead, her voice was soft and crisp, very beautiful, looked at her a few times, and saw that she looked innocent, delicate and naughty, her cheeks were flushed, although she was young, but her complexion was beautiful and elegant, and she was really better than the one in the painting.

This girl probably fell into the mortal world by an angel! Zhang Quan guessed in his heart: What was revealed between her eyebrows was an aura different from that of a mortal woman. She's like a feather in the air, you want to touch it, but you can't bear to disturb her quiet. It's better to treat her as a painting, forever guarding and staring!
