Chapter 40: The Stone Is Gone

Sun Yumin and Chen Yun heard the news brought by Huzi and Shishi, and finally put their hearts down.

Both of them are wondering who this middle-aged man who took Lu Man away, what is the origin of this woman Lu Man, and what ulterior secrets does she have.

After this turmoil, Sun Yumin and Chen Yun both felt physically and mentally exhausted. Originally, the best room in the hotel was reserved for the two of them, but Lu Man's departure made the two of them embarrassed to live in the same room again.

Sun Yumin went to knock on the stone door, but no one responded. In the corridor, Chen Yun was also knocking on Deng Xiufen's door, but a stone question came from the room: "Who?" She was so embarrassed that she had to find a room again. Sun Yumin looked at Chen Yun's lonely back and was about to pass by, he couldn't care about anything anymore, hugged her, and gently kissed her on the forehead.

Early the next morning, Sun Yumin was woken up by a knock on the door, and Huzi said that two soldiers had come to pick up Lu Man's luggage.

Chen Yun walked into Lu Man's room with two soldiers who didn't say a word, saying that it was her room, but in fact she just stayed in it for a while, Lu Man only leaned on the bed for a while, the quilt on the bed was not opened, her only two pieces of luggage, a cloth bag containing a few clothes and a delicate cowhide medicine box, the red cross on the medicine box was bright.

Sun Yumin saw that this small medicine box was taken away by these two people, and he suddenly felt a huge pain in his heart, as if his treasure was taken for himself, he reached out and grabbed the belt of the medicine box, and in the surprised eyes of the two people who came to pick up the luggage, he held it tightly and refused to let go.

Chen Yun didn't want to see such a scene, the lingering of last night was still vivid, and now it was under her nose, such a gaffe. If it was Chen Yun, who had just started dating Sun Yumin, she would definitely abandon him without hesitation, but after this period of understanding, she understood and understood the man in front of her.

The two soldiers were at a loss as to why this young man with the rank of colonel was holding on to this worthless little medicine box, they didn't know, they could only look at the woman who brought them in with expectant eyes.

Chen Yun was very uncomfortable with the two of them, she really wanted to snatch the small medicine box from him and let the two soldiers go back to the errand, but she couldn't do this, she couldn't bury Sun Yumin's last thoughts about Lu Man with her own hands.

Stone walked in with an officer, and the two soldiers who were collecting their luggage saw the captain who came in, as if they had seen a savior, saluted the captain, and told him what was going on.

The captain took the hot potato from the soldier holding the medicine box, respectfully handed the medicine box to Sun Yumin, and then saluted him and said, "Miss Lu asked me to come over and send a letter to Chief Sun, and she also said that if Chief Sun is unwilling to return her belongings, it doesn't matter, just keep them as a souvenir." After finishing speaking, he handed over a letter sealed in fire paint, and after handing the letter to Sun Yumin, he took the two soldiers and left together.

Sun Yumin couldn't wait to open the envelope, shake off the letterhead, and read it seriously.

The letter reads: Brother Sun, can I call you like that? Last night I had no sleep, closing my eyes and opening my eyes, all flashing was your shadow, all the bits and pieces of our journey. Maybe our acquaintance was a mistake, or maybe it was the wrong thread that brought you to me and made me suffer pain that I shouldn't have suffered, I don't think I can forget you. Although I know that I can't snatch you from Chen Yun, I still hope to leave a little memory in your heart.

Help me tell Chen Yun that I don't hate her, but I'm jealous of her.

If one day she treats you badly, you come to me, and I will wait for you.

Written at the back is a poem: cold cicadas are poignant, late to the long pavilion, and the showers are at the beginning of the break. The capital tent has no clue, and the nostalgia is urged by Lanzhou. Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, they were speechless and choked. Thinking of going, thousands of miles of smoke and waves, the twilight is Shen Shen Chu Tianguang. Affectionate since ancient times, it is even more difficult to snub the Qingqiu Festival! Where do you wake up tonight? The willow shore dawns and the waning moon. This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are thousands of styles, who to talk to!

At the end of the letter, he wrote: Brother Sun, cherish! In the early morning of December 25, the 26th year of the Republic of China, in Wuchang. Lu Man.

After reading this letter, Sun Yumin's hands trembled slightly, and there was a trace of bitterness in his face and eyes, and he said in his heart: Silly girl, I am not a good person, and I am not worthy of your concern.

Chen Yun carefully packed up Lu Man's small baggage and cowhide medicine box, and took everything to the room of the two of them with Sun Yumin.

Chen Yun looked at Sun Yumin, who was in a daze at Lu Man's medicine box, and felt a little sour in his heart, thinking to himself: If I switch positions with Lu Man, will he be sad for me like this?

The door was pushed open, and Shi and Deng Xiufen came in with breakfast, beckoning the two people who were in a daze to come and eat. Steaming hot soy milk and golden fritters, as well as a few bowls of hot dry noodles, a special snack in Wuhan.

At the breakfast table, Shi politely proposed to Sun Yumin the idea of escorting these girls to the northwest. Sun Yumin looked up at this stone that had never had any claim in amazement, and he lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Sun Yumin.

"Are you alone?" He asked the stone. In fact, there is no need to ask, Sun Yumin also knows that the four guards who have been following the stone to protect the female students will also follow.

"No, there are still the guards who have been protecting them before, just open them up." The sound in the stone's mouth was small, but barely audible.

"Oh......" Sun Yumin replied vaguely, the chopsticks in his hand were put down by him, and the already not very good mood became worse, he stood up and was about to leave the table, but Chen Yun grabbed him.

Sun Yumin wanted to break free of her hand, but was held by her, and she said, "Yumin, you have to believe that I have never done anything to them. ”

Sun Yumin didn't want to listen to her explanation, so he snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Just because you didn't do it doesn't mean that others didn't do it." His sharp eyes stared at Deng Xiufen, who looked innocent, and continued: "I don't have the habit of imposing my will on people, as long as anyone is willing to go to the northwest with you, I raise my hands in favor." ”

Sun Yumin did not explain to the second daughter that if it were not for his obligation not to be fulfilled, he would definitely follow them to the holy place called the cradle by later generations.

Chen Yun was already overjoyed when she heard his words, but then Sun Yumin's words embarrassed her again.

"I hate it when someone dismantles me behind my back, and I hate it when someone stabs me in the back."

Deng Xiufen was immediately unhappy when she heard this, and was about to stand up and judge him, but she was pulled by a stone and motioned for him to come.

"Tuanzuo, Zhang Quan and I willingly followed Miss Chen and them over there. Spending time with them these days has taught me a lot of truths, these girls are able to sacrifice their lives for their beliefs and ideals, and we men are still fighting for three buckets of rice. It really shouldn't be, Tuanza, and I think you should also abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible......"

"Say no more!" Before Shishi's words could speak, he was interrupted by Sun Yuminsheng, how could he not know this truth, why didn't he want to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, why didn't he want to fly with Chen Yun, but when he thought of the more than 10,000 soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country in front of Guanghua Gate, he couldn't muster up the courage to leave. Could it be that the two flames that Zhou Hainan asked Huzi to bring down could be extinguished because of his own selfishness! Definitely not, and even if we were to go on the right path, it would certainly not be now.

The stone wanted to say something, but Chen Yun stopped him, and in the face of this man who made her give everything, she said the words from the bottom of her heart: "No matter what you have in mind, I hope you can join the light as soon as possible." We will go to the office of the Eighth Route Army later, and whether we can meet in the future depends on you, I will wait for you. ”

Chen Yun didn't wait for Sun Yumin to speak, she had already started to pack up, and with the assistance of Shi Shi and Deng Xiufen, she quickly finished the dotting.

Chen Yun and Deng Xiufen put on their student clothes again, just like the outfit they first met in front of Guanghua Gate in Nanjing, except that there were nine other students and four men dressed in ordinary clothes around them.

In the lobby of the hotel, Zhang Xiaohu held the stone's hand tightly, slapped him twice on the back, and said, "Good brother, take care." ”

The stone didn't say anything, his eyes looked at Sun Yumin, and his expression was full of apologies.

Sun Yumin stood in front of Chen Yun, stretched out his hand to stroke the hair that remained on her forehead, and whispered to her: "The stone man is very smart, and he has a good skill, let him learn from the chief over there, he will definitely be able to get ahead in the future." You help him more. There are also those four soldiers, they are all very good backbone candidates, and you also help take care of them, after all, they are in the past! ”

Chen Yun didn't expect him to care so much about these soldiers who abandoned him, and even entrusted herself to take care of and help, she was very moved in her heart, and said, "Yes, I don't need you to say that I will do the same." ”

"Shameless, I saw the wrong eye, and actually recognized the white-eyed wolf as my sister." Xiao Yuying was on the side, she originally had a good impression of Chen Yun, but when Sun Yumin took most of the remaining ocean from her and said that she would hand it over to Shi and Chen Yun, she was unhappy and hated all the time. As a little miser, she can't see others take what belongs to her, even the person she called Sister a second ago.

Chen Yun heard her words, walked up to her and said: "Little girl, you will be the only woman by their side in the future, you have to be more careful, you can't be rough like a kid, what they need more is the delicacy of women." ”

"How I want to do and how to learn, you don't have to worry about it." The little girl slammed back, with her character, it was impossible to forgive Chen Yun in a short period of time.

Sun Yumin pulled Chen Yun over and said to her: "I have prepared something for you, you can see for yourself on the way, I hope you have a safe journey." ”

Chen Yun didn't speak, and nodded silently.

Sun Yumin called over the stone again, took over two big burdens from Li Tiedan's hands, and said to him: "You haven't forgotten what I taught you to disassemble and assemble guns when I was in Nanjing, right?" ”

Stone shook his head and said, "No, I'm sure I won't forget it." ”

"That's good." Sun Yumin smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Shi's head, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Comrade Shi Zhonghua, you will be the backbone of these people in the future, and you must bring them over there safely." ”

The stone slapped the ground and stood upright, and said loudly, "Yes, Tuanza." Resolutely complete the task. ”

Sun Yumin was very satisfied with his state, smiled again, took a cloth bag from Li Tiedan's hand, attached it to the stone ear and said to him: "I have prepared some food for you in the baggage, as well as six shell guns and some oceans, you will divide the guns after you go to the Eighth Route Army office, and try to be as strict as possible." ”

Stone nodded and said, "Well, I see." ”

Li Tie Dan handed the other burden on his shoulders to the stone, his eyes full of envy.

Sun Yumin waited for the stone to catch the burden handed over by the big man, and he said: "Here is a Czech-type and all the magazine bullets, I disassembled the gun, and you can put it back on after leaving Wuhan, just in case of emergency." ”

Shi's eyes were red, he knew that since Dashu Town, rifles did not count, Sun Yumin and they only had the only Czech gun and six shell guns left, and now he gave all his belongings to himself who had abandoned him. He didn't know to express his inner gratitude, so he didn't salute, and bent down to give the scar-faced man in front of him a deep bow.

Tie Niu, the leader of the reconnaissance squad, walked in with a three-legged camera covered in a red cloth, followed by a panting, thin middle-aged man with an old flash in his hand.

When Sun Yumin saw the two of them coming in, he greeted him and said to the thin middle-aged man, "You are the owner of the photo studio, right?" ”

This man was not even able to catch his breath, and when he saw that an officer asked him, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Sir, yes, there is the owner of a photo studio. This military master smashed open the door of my house and hurriedly brought me here. He pointed to the Iron Bull as he spoke, and seemed very dissatisfied with the soldier's actions.

Sun Yumin was polite to the owner of the photo studio, asked for a piece of ocean from the little girl, stuffed it into his hand, and said: "I'm really sorry, it's all because I can't teach him, and I offend a lot, please forgive me." ”

Seeing the joy of the photo studio owner accepting the ocean, he struck while the iron was hot and said: "This boss, some of my friends are going on a long trip today, and I would like to ask you to help take a few photos before leaving." ”

Of course, the owner of the photo studio said okay, under his guidance, everyone put up a bench at the door of the hotel, and formed a semicircle, in the first row of Chen Yun and Sun Yumin's residence, on both sides were Liu Wenzhi and Zhang Xiaohu, and the rest of the female students sat in turn, the second row was Li Tiedan, Xiao Shanzi, Dong Wenbin, Onoharaping, Deng Dongping and his two soldiers, Shi with Deng Xiufen and a few soldiers in civilian clothes stood at the edge of the second row, and the rest of the soldiers stood in the last row under the leadership of Tie Niu.

The little girl was angry again, and she, the eldest brother of the sun, spent money indiscriminately without her consent, so she refused to take pictures. Liu Wenzhi and Sun Yumin teased them repeatedly, but she ignored them.

Just when the owner of the photo studio shouted to prepare, she ran over, squeezed between Sun Yumin and Chen Yun and sat down, the two looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads helplessly.

After taking a group photo, Sun Yumin and Chen Yun asked the owner of the photo studio to take a photo for them alone, this time the little girl didn't come to make trouble, but just asked them to take a photo with her after they finished taking pictures.

This photo with Chen Yun made Sun Yumin gain the most important person in his life, which will not be mentioned here for the time being.

After the chaos, in the reluctant eyes of everyone, Chen Yun took the stones, they and the group of female students to the location of the Wuhan office of the Eighth Route Army led by Dong Lao: No. 57 Changchun Street, Hankou.
