Under the careful treatment and care of Dr. Miao and the nurses, Yulin's morphine addiction has been completely stopped. And the torture wounds on his body are almost healed.

The whiplash wounds on his body have mostly healed, and some of the scabs are molting and new skin is growing.

The burns on the shoulders have also healed, and the arms can be extended and rotated to a limited extent.

Although the left hand is not yet able to do many fine movements, it can basically do some finger bending movements, although the bending range is limited, but it is already a great improvement. A thin layer of nails also slowly grew on the nail bed, and Yurong gently massaged Yulin's left hand every day, hoping to speed up blood flow and promote blood circulation.

The broken bone in his right leg has also been connected, and now Yulin can rely on crutches and step forward step by step. Sometimes, he threw away his crutches and let Yurong hold him and move forward step by step. Despite being tired and sweating every time, Yulin's recovery is obvious.

It's just that Yu Lin often has nightmares at night, he often dreams that he is dragged to the torture room again, those chilling torture instruments are dangling back and forth in front of his eyes, those executioners keep smiling on the side, pressing him down, ready to use those torture tools on himself, he seems to have fallen into the abyss again, he can't live, he can't die, every time he has a nightmare, he will wake up in the nightmare, sometimes he sits up in the middle of the night, sometimes he screams, and even trembles all over, and the cold sweat of fear keeps flowing. When Yulin realized that it was a dream, he slowly calmed down, then took a long sigh of relief, and then lay down to sleep again. Yurong would often come from the adjacent bed, comfort him, and gently pat him on the back like a child until he fell asleep.

That night, Yu Lin had a nightmare again, he couldn't help screaming in his dream, soaked in cold sweat, after Yu Rong heard Yu Lin's scream, he would wake up from the adjacent bed and run over to ask.

"Yulin, what's wrong? Is morphine addiction a recurrence? Yu Rong asked with concern while wiping a cold sweat for Yu Lin.

"It's not morphine, it's a nightmare I have when I dream I've been taken into the torture chamber." Yu Lin gasped and was stunned.

Yu Rong hugged Yu Lin into her arms in distress. She knew that the scars on Yu Lin's body could be healed, but the shadows on her soul were difficult to erase. She wanted to make his devastated heart bridge and warm up, Yu Rong put her lips close to Yu Lin, kissed his forehead, his eyes, his lips, Yu Lin felt a shock, hugged Yu Rong tightly, and kissed fiercely......

On April 20, 1949, the Kuomintang refused to sign the peace agreement. That night, the People's Liberation Army forcibly crossed the Yangtze River on the Yangtze River, which stretches from Jiangyin in Jiangsu Province in the east to Hukou in Jiangxi Province in the west. Since the officers and soldiers of the Jiangyin fortress had basically been rebelled by our army, the uprising of the uprising, and the surrender of the surrender, Tong Dapeng even commanded the gunners to aim their guns at the Kuomintang warships. So the Kuomintang's last line of defense on the Yangtze River was quickly dismantled.

On the morning of 21 April 1949, the Second and Third Field Armies of the Chinese People's Liberation Army launched a campaign to cross the river on all fronts. , Zhu De issued the "Order to March to the Whole Country". On the afternoon of the 22nd, the Kuomintang authorities abandoned Nanjing and made arrangements to retreat. On the morning of 23 July, Acting President Li Zongren and others evacuated Nanjing. At noon, the spokesman of the Nationalist Government announced the evacuation of Nanjing at He Yingqin's residence. On the evening of the same day, Chen Yi's Third Field Army on the East Road occupied Nanjing. In the early morning of the 24th, the 312th Regiment of the 104th Division assembled at the Drum Tower ordered the special service company to run and occupy the presidential palace. At 8 or 9 o'clock, the regimental headquarters was stationed at the presidential palace. By noon, the rest of the 35 th Army, with the cooperation of the underground party, crossed the river into the city by sailor patrol boats, barges, wooden sailing boats, and various public and private steamers. Nanjing, the center of Kuomintang rule, was liberated, the red flag was planted in the presidential palace, and Chinese history entered a new chapter.

It was very exciting to hear the news. So he wrote the famous Seven Laws "The People's Liberation Army Occupies Nanjing". This poem is magnificent, sonorous and powerful, and it expresses the confidence and determination of the People's Liberation Army to completely defeat the Kuomintang reactionaries, and expresses the belief in the victory of liberating the whole of China!

Zhongshan is pale and yellow in wind and rain, and millions of heroes have crossed the river.

The tiger is better than the past, and the world is turned upside down and generous.

It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord.

If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life.

The rumbling sound of the cannon for the liberation of Nanjing made Lu Yulin, who was in the ward, feel particularly excited, and after years of arduous and outstanding struggle, he was now about to usher in the moment of victory.

Yurong, who was two months pregnant, and her children sat around Lu Yulin, quietly listening to the exhilarating sound of artillery fire, which was as dazzling as fireworks, which showed the world that the time for a change of dynasty was coming.

Yu Lin's leg has almost recovered, although he can't walk like flying, and he walks a little lame, mainly because these two legs are of different lengths, and his right leg is about two centimeters shorter than his left leg, but no matter what, Yu Lin is quite satisfied with this result, after all, he even had difficulty standing before.

Yurong is very smart, she sewed a special pair of cloth shoes for Yulin, the thickness of the sole of the cloth shoe on her right foot is two centimeters thicker than the sole of her left foot, so that Yulin can't see one high and one low when he walks. Yu Lin put on these special cloth shoes, and felt very fit and warm.

Yu Lin put his hand on Yu Rong's abdomen: "How is it, is there a reaction?" ”

Yu Rong smiled shyly: "It's different from Huai Yong's childhood, when Huai Yong's child was lazy and didn't want to move, now it seems to be quite energetic, and his appetite is good." ”

"Yurong, you still have to pay more attention to rest, don't work too hard."

"I'm not tired now, Aunt Fat, Sister Shuyan, and Shengnan all help me take care of the children, Commissar Huang said, my main task now is to take care of you."

Yu Rong said and fed Yu Lin a mouthful of hot porridge.

"I'll eat it myself." Yu Lin felt that his left hand was much better and less painful, so he wanted to try to eat by himself.

"Okay, you try."

Yu Rong handed the bowl to Yu Lin, Yu Lin used his left hand to catch the bowl, but his left hand was a little trembling, seeing that the bowl was about to turn over, Yu Rong hurriedly caught the bowl.

"No, your hand hasn't recovered yet."

Yu Lin didn't give up: "Otherwise, I'll hold the bowl in my right hand and the spoon in my left hand." ”

Yu Rong handed the bowl to Yu Lin, Yu Lin picked up the bowl with his right hand, and then took the spoon with his left hand, but tried several times, because it was difficult for the fingers to bend in place, so the index finger and thumb could not be pinched together, Yu Lin wanted to use the index finger and middle finger to pick up the spoon, but it was unsuccessful, but he tried to sweat, but he had to give up.

Yu Lin slapped the bed with his right fist in annoyance: "I'm really a waste now, I can't even eat, I won't eat." ”

Yu Lin fell on the bed, sulking alone.

"Yulin, don't be like this, Doctor Miao said, your hand recovers slowly, you have to be patient, maybe in another ten days and half a month, you will be able to eat by yourself."

"It's been three months, and I still have to be fed by someone else, so I don't think it's going to get better." Yu Lin pouted and said dejected words.

The door to the ward opened, and one old and two young entered.

Under the halo of sunlight, Yu Lin sat up, covered his eyes with his hands, and looked at the comer, only seeing the outline of the comer, unable to identify it for a while.

"Nothing is too good to be, haven't I been cured of decades of lung disease?"

"Daddy." Yu Lin hurriedly got up from the bed, dragged his slippers, and walked towards the old man.

"Yulin." The old man shouted.

Xu Hengliang hugged Yulin, and Weng and his son-in-law burst into tears.

"Daddy Lin." The two young men threw themselves into Yu Lin's arms.

"Xiao'er, Yin'er." Yu Lin finally recognized the young man and girl in front of him.

"Rong's mother." Xiao'er and Yin'er hugged Yurong tightly.

Yu Rong's tears flowed down: "It's Xiao'er and Yin'er who are back!" ”

"Yulin, you have suffered, Commissar Huang told me, come, show Dad."

Xu Hengliang carefully looked at Yu Lin's injury, stroked his left hand distressedly, and burst into tears: "Over the years, you have not been easy. You're lucky enough to survive and stay alive. How's it going, does it still hurt? Ten fingers to the heart. ”

"Dad, don't feel sorry for me, my fingers don't hurt anymore, and the doctor said I'm recovering pretty fast. It's just that the function of this finger is still poor, and I'm afraid it won't be able to return to its original state. “

"Don't rush, take your time, it'll be fine." Xu Hengliang comforted Yulin.

Yu Lin nodded.

"Daddy." Shuyan also walked in and hugged her father Xu Hengliang tightly.

"Yan'er, it's not easy for our father and daughter to see each other in this life." Xu Hengliang was in tears.

"Dad, Shuxian she......" As soon as Shuyan saw her father, she thought of her sister and couldn't cry.

"Commissar Huang has already told me. Yan'er, don't cry, Xian'er died a well-deserved death, worthy of heaven and earth. ”

So-yeon nodded tearfully.

Everyone sat around, and the originally empty ward suddenly became lively.

"Dad, why did you and Xiao'er and Yin'er come here?"

"I heard that Chiang Kai-shek planned to transfer a large number of cultural relics to Taiwan, so we sent some elite soldiers to intercept them, so that these treasures left by our ancestors would remain in the hands of the people. Xiao'er is now my right-hand man. Xu Hengliang gave Xiao'er an approving glance.

"Yes. Xiao'er? Cultural relics are a big thing. Yu Lin turned his head to look at Xiao'er, who had grown into a young man, and stroked Xiao'er's head lovingly: "However, your grandfather is an expert in this area, and you have learned a lot from your grandfather." ”

Xiao'er smiled and nodded: "With my grandfather teaching by hand, it's hard to think about it." My grandfather was very strict with me. ”

"What about Yin'er? You report to Dad Lin, what have you done over the years? ”

Yin'er, who had already become a big girl, stood up and gave a military salute to everyone: "Report to Lin's father, I came with the troops who went south to liberate Nanjing, and I learned that you were in the base area in northern Jiangsu, so I asked the leader for leave, and the leader of the unit agreed that I would come and see you." After I graduated from Lu Yi, I stayed in the army's art troupe, and we sent spiritual food to the front-line soldiers, not only did we sing some revolutionary songs to the soldiers to encourage the soldiers' courageous morale and revolutionary optimism, but also rehearsed a lot of very realistic dramas for the local people to see, so that they could recognize the true face of the enemy and arouse the fighting spirit of the people to fight against the enemy. ”

"Well, Yin'er is right, it seems that you have made great progress over the years. Dad Lin is very relieved and proud of you. ”

Ming'er snuggled up to Yin'er, and Ming'er looked at Yin'er enviously: "Sister Yin'er, when will I be able to wear this military uniform like you?" ”

"I want it too, I want to be like Sister Yin'er, it's really handsome in a military uniform." Yong'er was also envious of Yin'er on the side.

"Dad, I want it too. I also like to wear military uniforms. Yu Er said to Yu Lin in a milky voice.

"It's really a tiger father without a dog, Yulin, you see, the children all want to be soldiers one by one." Shuyan hugged Yu'er.

Yu Lin looked at the children in the room, with a smile on his face: "Well, good, ambitious, when you grow up, this country will depend on you to build, you have to learn your skills now, and you will be useful in the future." ”

"Hmm." The children nodded frequently.

"Now that we have come to the end of our hardships, it is a matter of how to build a new China in the future, Dad, the time for you, an old professor, to show his talents is almost here."

"yes, I really want to hurry up and get into the heat." Xu Hengliang's eyes were full of expectations for the future.

"Each of us has to think carefully about how we should contribute to the new China."

In the rumbling sound of artillery fire in the liberation of Nanjing, Yulin's family was finally reunited, and everyone's face was filled with a smile of bitterness, full of yearning and expectation for the future.
