Crazy waves of fire came one after another, as if they wanted to swallow the sky. Smoke filled the sea beneath the fire, as if a thick cloud soaked in black smoke had descended to the ground.

Shen Chen stood on the roof of the building, and through the telescope, he could see the smoke and flames in the distance, which was in the direction of Huxi.

At this time, he did not know the cause of the fire, let alone the thwart of his plans because of the fire.

At that time, Chinese agents launched a nerve war in Shanghai to combat the arrogance of the Japanese invaders and boost the morale of the people.

However, after being attacked, the Japanese invading forces and spies often could not find a clear target to counterattack, and they indiscriminately killed innocent people in the occupied areas.

Almost every time a soldier or Japanese was assassinated and ambushed, the Japanese army would execute a group of innocent local Chinese, spreading terror with brutal acts.

In the suburbs of Shanghai, such as Shenjia Town, Miaogang, Nanxing Town, Xin'an Town, Yong'an Town, Mengjiang Town, Sanguangmiao and other places in Chongming, as well as the eastern part of Qingpu County west of Hongqiao Airport, and along the Suzhou Creek in western Shanghai, they were repeatedly swept and retaliated against by the Japanese army.

And this time, because of the area of Yidingpan Road (now Jiangsu Road), Zhu'anbang, and Daxi Road (now Yan'an West Road) Wangjia Lane, there were often patriots attacking the Japanese military police.

Under the pretext that there were "terrorists" in the area, the Japanese army set fire to hundreds of shantytowns in Zhu'anbang, Wangjialong, Caojiayan, and Fahua Town.

When the fire brigade of the Public Concession heard the news, it was stopped by the Japanese military police and prevented from putting out the fire, so that hundreds of shanty houses were burned down by raging fires.

This brutality was followed by thousands of refugees left homeless and forced to live on the streets. Because it was winter, countless women and children among the refugees died of cold and starvation.

"Master, can't I follow you?" The dog was holding a pork pancake and eating it while fighting for an opportunity with Shen Chen.

Shen Chen shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous to follow me, and it's even more dangerous in Shanghai." You and your senior sister will leave tomorrow and go out into the vast world. ”

The dog's face collapsed, and he couldn't even eat the baked cakes.

Suddenly, a hand came from the side, a very dirty, very thin hand, and the dog was wandering, and before he could understand what was going on, the baked cake in his hand disappeared.

The one who grabbed the cake was a very thin teenage beggar, probably hungry for a long time, he wanted to run, but he couldn't run fast, and was soon chased by the dogs.

The boy's face was covered with dirt, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had washed his face, and it was so dirty that he couldn't see it.

Facing the dog, like a desperate chicken, he paused and spat a few mouthfuls at the baked cake in his hand. In this way, it will be returned to others, and others will not want it.

Then he hunched over, crouched on the ground, and ate in large gulps, leaving only the dog with a back.

The dog knows this trick, and it's up to you to beat and scold, and I just have to eat. His raised fist fell, regretting that he should not have chased him, and on such a cold day, the beggar was thinly dressed and tattered, and draped in a few broken sacks.

"Little brother, you can take it and eat it, I don't want it." The dog smiled bitterly, looked at Shen Chen coming over, and shook his head helplessly.

The young beggar moved, but still did not look back.

Shen Chen pursed his lips and said gently: "Little brother, I have another one here, you can take it if you want to eat it!" With that, he took two steps closer and handed over the paper packet.

The young beggar stopped gobbling up, turned around quickly, and took the baked cake from Shen Chen's hand, which was extremely fast, making Shen Chen and the dog stunned for a moment.

"Let's go!" Shen Chen said in a low voice, turned around and walked away.

Affected by this episode, when he saw Cao Bingsheng again, listening to his narration, Shen Chen didn't say much, just looked around.

The air was muddy and thick, with the smell of muddy water, garbage, sweat, oil smoke, incense, and the smell of food baked on a nearby charcoal stove.

The refugees gathered, their stench, mutilated, emaciated, and entangled.

Among them were refugees with babies in their arms, fighting with each other, crying out informantly, "Sir, madam, be pitiful!" The child is dying of hunger! The child is dying of hunger. ”

The chaotic, noisy, and tragic scene made Shen Chen speechless for a while, and then stepped forward to grab Cao Bingsheng and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to let his brother drive away these poor people.

A large number of refugees poured into the concession, but any place where they could live was their hope of survival. This killing place that Cao Bingsheng found for Shen Chen was no exception.

Fortunately, Shen Chen hadn't started to set it up yet, and this abandoned dilapidated building was not yet full of traps and killing machines.

"Poor and pitiful, sir, ma'am!"

"Poor and pitiful, uncle, uncle!"

Even if they are refugees, there are dying and strong.

A blind girl huddled in a ball and hugged her grandfather tightly. Grandpa's eyes were closed, and only the occasional movement of his eyelids showed that he was still alive.

There were so many victims that the lonely grandfather and grandson no longer had the strength to fight with others for a place to shelter from the wind and snow.

The blind girl's dream-like muttering and begging sound, like the moans of a dying patient, drifted into Shen Chen's ears.

His footsteps stopped, a trace of mixed emotions flashed in his eyes, and finally stopped on the huqin and broken bowl at the blind girl's feet.

The dog looked at Shen Chen, took out two yuan from his pocket, walked to the blind girl, hesitated, and did not throw the money into the small basket, but directly stuffed it into the blind girl's hand.

The blind girl, with her blind man's special hearing and senses, knew that it was a young man who had stuffed money into her hand, and kept whispering thanks: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle." ”

Looking at the blind girl's sincere gratitude and weak appearance, the dog felt that his throat and eyes were a little tight, and reached out to rub his eyes.

He took two steps away, and Shen Chen turned his head sideways and whispered to the dog, "In a while, you send her and the old man home." ”

Shen Chen had already arranged everything, and that house would be given up at any time.

He gave Old Man Feng and Feng Erni a sum of money, and after he left, the father and daughter would move to the Shikumen house, and Katori Xiaoren was about to move out, so the house was vacant.

Giving the blind girl two dollars may allow the grandfather and grandson to live for a day or two longer, or maybe they will be snatched away by others in the blink of an eye. Death has hung over them, and if there is no other way, it is only a matter of time.

The dog nodded and said in a low voice: "I have grown so big, and I have seen many people begging for food, but why is my heart so uncomfortable today?" That blind girl, she has no eyes at such an age, how many years and months can she survive to the end! ”

Shen Chen sighed and said: "People, each has his own life, to put it bluntly, a person's life is just two words, persistence." Whether it's good or bad, you have to live for the people you care about, you say, isn't it? ”

The dog's eyes fell on the blind girl, and after a while, he nodded slightly, as if he really understood the meaning of Shen Chen's words.

Shen Chen pulled his hand from his pocket, he is rich, but he can be kind to a beggar, and in the face of a group of beggars, a drop in the bucket cannot solve the problem.

"If this happens, Brother Shen's plan is going to be pushed back." Cao Bingsheng looked helpless, but only to Shen Chen, not to those victims.

Shen Chen nodded lightly and said, "Let it go first, what should we do with these victims?" ”

Cao Bingsheng is not a good man and a woman, and he has seen this kind of scene a lot, but Shen Chen's words made him have to express something.

"I'll buy some rice and firewood, and try to kill as few people as possible!" Cao Bingsheng said.

Shen Chen naturally knew that Cao Bingsheng was looking at his face, but he would not be so generous, so he said: "I take the money, and you let the brothers in the gang work hard." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Brother Cao, this is a good opportunity to buy fame, I don't need it, don't let it go." In addition, do you know the reason why Xu Huaiyi's gang expanded so quickly? ”

Cao Bingsheng was stunned for a moment, then he was a little stunned, and said, "Is it okay to buy alms?" Well, that's a solution. But that guy is lucky, there is an unjust boss who is not trying to name and is paying. ”

Shen Chen rolled his eyes and said, "The big man is me, and a friend of mine." ”

Yes?! Cao Bingsheng immediately showed a look of surprise and apology, and hurriedly said, "Haha, look at what I said." Brother Shen, don't be surprised, don't be surprised. ”

Shen Chen waved his hand and said, "In the future, this matter will be handled by Brother Cao." I'll take 10,000 first, and you can let the brothers move! ”

"No problem." Cao Bingsheng called one of his subordinates and explained a few words.

Shen Chen saw Cao Bingsheng send his subordinates away, motioned for Cao Bingsheng to walk with him to a secluded place, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Huaijiu, I can't believe it, there are some things that can only trouble Brother Cao." ”

Cao Bingsheng waved his hand and said, "What's not troublesome, Brother Shen is too out-of-the-box." Say, if there's anything I can do—"

Shen Chen smiled, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be sneering, and with a cold murderous aura.

………………

"Let's go, I've arranged everything." Shen Chen half-leaned on the sofa, looking lazy, and said to Chu Jiao, Zhao Youcai, Zhang Chengfu, and the dog: "Only by killing more devils outside can you avenge the victims." ”

Chu Jiao and the others will follow Ma Mingyu out of Shanghai tomorrow, but the disaster incident has affected Chu Jiao to some extent.

"Can you do it alone?" Chu Jiao frowned, "Otherwise, I'll stay first and help you before leaving." ”

"I'd better stay!" The dog argued: "I'm a man, it's easier to go anywhere." ”

"What's wrong with women?" Chu Jiao stretched out her hand to touch the dog's head, but the dog was a little reluctant, smiled and jumped away.

"No one has to stay." Shen Chen waved his hand and said, "I don't want your help, it's just a hindrance." ”

Chu Jiao rolled her eyes and muttered, "If you don't know the hearts of good people, you can, no one else." ”

Although she complained, Chu Jiao knew that Shen Chen had made up her mind, so she reluctantly took out a check and said, "Here, 20,000 yuan, I just disposed of the car dealership." ”

"Tearful sale!" Shen Chen was not polite, stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile: "Okay, go back early and have a good rest." I won't send you tomorrow. ”

"Accompany that Shen Baihe well and take advantage of it." Chu Jiao's heart was a little sour, and she looked at Shen Chen hard, as if she wanted to remember this image firmly.

Shen Chen got up with a smile, both as a send-off and as a chapel.

Chu Jiao walked last, and when she arrived at the door, she suddenly turned around and hugged Shen Chen hard.

Shen Chen laughed twice, hugged him back, and patted Chu Jiao's back a few times.

In the war-torn years of war, every separation may be a farewell, but true emotions do not need a thousand words, just a deep embrace, and they are all expressed.

……………

Chu Jiao and the others were evacuated on the same day as the students, although the assembly time was different and the route was different, but they all had the same purpose, running towards a broader battlefield.

And Shen Chen accompanied Katori Konin in a relaxed atmosphere on the surface, shopping, shopping, eating, drinking, and dancing......

Wait until tomorrow, Katori Shinobi will find that the students are gone, as well as the suspect Chu Jiao and others.

Because she was told to meet somewhere tomorrow evening, but no one would wait for her in that place except herself.

Shopping, buying, both of them carried a lot of things in their hands, in addition to playing, using, and eating, eating while walking, chatting while eating, chatting while shopping.

Shen Chen seemed to be feeling the sweetness and warmth of the world between the two, and Katori Shinobu also felt happy.

Because, tomorrow will wipe out all the students, and the day after tomorrow is the time when Shen Chen will take her out of Shanghai, and she can complete an important task.

Everything is under control, and Katori Shinobu is so easy. Even, she couldn't help but enjoy this ease that would no longer exist.

The hands of the two naturally pulled; When the flow of people is crowded, Shen Chen will hold the slender waist of Katori Xiaonin and meet her; When dancing, the two couldn't help but kiss.

Gentle strokes, sweet words, make Katori Shinobu sometimes feel confused, as if he was swept into Shen Chen's warm embrace by a whirlwind.

Even if it is an opponent, Shen Chen is also a respectable opponent; And among men, he is also a very attractive existence.

Katori Shinobu commented like this, and he felt a little guilty inexplicably. But if she knew that Shen Chen was not in love with her, but was also hypocritical, how would she feel?

It was late at night and the street lights were on. The war did not seem to affect people's entertainment, and the dance halls were still full of lights.

Shen Chen hugged Katori Xiaonin and danced extremely slowly. The bodies are almost close together, with only slight gaps when moving.

Mischief, or the pleasure of revenge, Shen Chen's hand stopped on the woman's chest, and the soft feeling made him feel very comfortable. He couldn't help but fumble around, first lightly and then heavily, first kneading and then kneading.

The flush on Katori's face became more vivid, and it spread to the back of his ears and neck, and his eyes were a little blurred, as if he was drunk.

The pleasure of the body cannot be hidden, although the face is red and hot, but Katori Konin's eyes are persistently looking at Shen Chen's face, looking at his mouth, looking at his eyes.

She snorted softly from her nose, her mouth tilted slightly, and she sent it over expectantly.

Shen Chen was a little impulsive, he snorted lowly, lowered his head and kissed his warm and moist lips.

Their lips were glued together, and the objects around them, whether it was the lights of the ballroom or the dancing dancers, seemed to spin......
