The night was extraordinarily quiet, with few stars, lazy moonlight, and everything seemed to have calmed down. No one will think about what will happen tomorrow, nor will they bother to guess what tomorrow will become, anyway, in this confused world, to be able to sleep peacefully, wake up and still be alive, this is a kind of godsend, many people do not even have this blessing, after yesterday, there is no today, after today, there is no tomorrow.

Lu Yixiang knows what will happen tomorrow and how his fate will change tomorrow. Facing tomorrow, he was excited, lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, he looked at his sleeping wife beside him, gently lifted the quilt, stood up, put on a long robe, and walked towards the Buddha hall.

Walking into the Buddhist hall, Lu Yixiang turned on all the lights, and then lit all the candles on the candlesticks, and the candlelight reflected Lu Yixiang's face full of vicissitudes. Lu Yixiang gently wiped the tablets of the ancestors of the Lu family with a soft cloth, brushed off the floating dust, and then placed these tablets neatly one by one.

Lu Yulin straightened his collar, dusted off his sleeves, knelt down in front of the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, and kowtowed three times to the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors.

"The ancestors of the Lu family are on top, and the descendants of Lu Yixiang kowtow to you to apologize, and the child Lu Yulin is in prison for resisting Japan and saving the country, as a father, I am glad and proud to have such a son. But I can't stand by while my only son is tortured and die without help. Therefore, I had to bow my head and grovel to the Japanese to intercede, asking them to let Lin'er live. The Japanese used Lin'er's life and death as a bargaining chip to blackmail me into serving as the president of the maintenance association, and I was eager to save my son, so I accepted it against my will, and I knew that I was violating the family motto by doing so, and I had no shame to my ancestors and ancestors. But I also have to be worthy of Ruqin, my wife, I can't let her white-haired people send black-haired people, so that she will be helpless in the future. However, no matter how confused I am Lu Yixiang, I will not forget my family hatred and national hatred, I will not forget that I am a Chinese, and I will not forget that Lu Yixiang is a descendant of generations of loyalty. I hereby swear that I should die with a clear will and not disgrace my family style. I hope that the ancestors and ancestors will bless the descendants of my Lu family with the spirit of heaven. ”

After Lu Yixiang finished praying, he bowed three times reverently, and then got up, feeling a stone in his heart fall to the ground. He felt that the ancestors of the Lu family would definitely hear his heart, would understand his helplessness, would forgive his disobedience, and would approve of his choice.

At half past two in the afternoon, Yamada's car came to pick up Lu Yixiang.

Lu Yulin straightened the cyan gown, took the briefcase, and said goodbye to Mrs. Lu: "Ruqin, I'm leaving." ”

Mrs. Lu nodded: "Master, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Lu Yixiang turned to Yurong again: "Yurong, take care of your wife and young master, please." ”

Yu Rong hurriedly nodded: "I will, master, don't worry." ”

"Uncle Yao, fat sister-in-law, you are all old people in our Lu Mansion for decades, and the top and bottom of the Lu Mansion depend on you."

"Sir, this is our due." Uncle Yao hurriedly responded.

"Fat sister-in-law, the tiger boy is in the middle of development, we have to let him eat well, don't knock on his chopsticks when eating, let him eat more, our Lu family can afford it." Lu Yixiang touched the tiger boy's head: "Tiger boy, you're about to become an adult, don't keep making your mother angry, don't keep taking a slingshot to shoot at that jujube tree, the dates on that tree have all been bounced for you, and everyone won't have to eat this year." ”

The tiger boy lowered his head in embarrassment, stroking the cowhide slingshot that Yulin had made for him.

Lu Yixiang turned around again and looked for Ah Cheng: "Where is Ah Cheng?" ”

"Master, I'm here." Ah Cheng got out from behind Uncle Yao.

"Ah Cheng, when you marry your daughter-in-law, I will prepare the red envelope for you."

Ah Cheng scratched his head: "Master, you are so thoughtful, I don't have a daughter-in-law yet." ”

"The male should get married, the female should get married, you and Yurong are not young, it's time to start a family."

Yu Rong lowered her head shyly.

"Grandpa, grandpa." Naruto ran out of the house.

"Hey, my sweetheart. Let Grandpa hug him. ”

Lu Yixiang handed the briefcase to Ah Cheng beside him, picked up his grandson, and pricked him with his beard.

"Grandpa's beard is like a brush." Naruto chuckled.

"Ming'er has to listen to grandma, you can't be too naughty, you have to eat and sleep on time, understand?" Lu Yixiang's eyes were full of love.

Ming'er nodded: "Well, Ming'er is good, Ming'er is obedient." ”

"Alright, I'm leaving."

Lu Yixiang handed Ming'er to Yurong, took the briefcase from Ah Cheng's hand, and then hugged his wife tightly.

"Master, I'll wait for you to come back." Mrs. Lu repeated it again.

Lu Yixiang smiled, waved his hand, and got into Yamada's car.

The celebration of the third anniversary of the Guangzhou Maintenance Association and the Japan-China Friendship Association was arranged in the most luxurious Oi Kwan Hotel in Guangzhou, and the Japanese puppet officials, business tycoons, celebrities and squires, celebrities and celebrities from all over Guangzhou gathered together.

The conference hall was richly decorated and festive. Kazuo Yamada led Lu Yixiang into the venue, and after a while, Ichiro Watanabe, who was wearing a military uniform, also walked in.

"Mr. Lu, we feel very honored that you can come to this conference in person." Watanabe saw that Lu Yixiang had already arrived at the venue, and hurriedly walked over to say hello.

"Mr. Watanabe is too exalted of me. Lu didn't dare to be someone. ”

"Isn't there any news from Mr. Lu?" Watanabe is haunted by Lu Yulin's disappearance.

"Mr. Watanabe, can you find out the whereabouts of the dog?" Lu Yixiang asked rhetorically.

"Not yet, if Mr. Lu has any news, please let President Lu inform me."

"If there's any news of the dog from the director, I'd like to let me know."

Watanabe smiled awkwardly, "Definitely, definitely." Alright, President Lu, I'll go there and say hello first. ”

"Please."

Lu Yixiang turned his head and saw Lu Yuting also appear at the venue, sitting listlessly in the corner, and hurriedly walked over.

"Yu Ting, why are you here too?" Lu Yixiang was very surprised.

"It was Yamada who sent someone to pull me here, uncle, I heard Yamada say that you want to be the president of the maintenance association?"

Lu Yixiang patted Yu Ting's shoulder: "Yu Ting, you know what Uncle is like." ”

Yu Ting nodded.

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet, our celebration is about to begin."

Yamada pulled Lu Yixiang to sit on the rostrum.

As the president of the Japan-China Friendship Association, I would like to thank all of you for your strong support and hope that you will continue to cooperate sincerely to make Guangzhou a model for the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere."

There was a sparse round of applause. Reporters came over to take pictures.

"Let me introduce the one sitting next to me, I think everyone must be familiar with him, he is Mr. Lu Yixiang, president of the Guangzhou Chamber of Commerce, but now Mr. Lu has another identity, he will serve as the president of our Guangzhou Maintenance Association."

After Yamada finished speaking, he stood up and handed the letter of appointment to Lu Yixiang with both hands. Lu Yulin also stood up, took the letter of appointment with his right hand, glanced at it, and put it on the table.

"Mr. Lu, pick up this letter of appointment and let the reporters take a picture." Yamada reminded softly from the side.

Lu Yixiang ignored it, and the people below began to whisper.

Yamada saw that Lu Yixiang did not move, so he picked up the letter of appointment and stuffed it into Lu Yixiang's hand, Lu Yixiang threw the letter of appointment on the table with a "snap", and then took out a stack of newspapers from his briefcase.

The guests below were all stunned by Lu Yixiang's actions, and the venue was silent.

"All of you here are high-ranking officials and nobles in Guangzhou, celebrities and businessmen, since the Japanese entered Guangzhou, how is everyone's business? How is life? How are the people of Guangzhou doing? I think everyone knows that. This is the 'merit' of the Japanese in Guangzhou over the past three years. ”

Lu Yixiang opened the newspaper and continued: "Since August 31, 1937, the Japanese army has bombed Guangzhou for 14 months, and the citizens of Guangzhou have suffered countless casualties. Factories, schools, docks, hospitals, churches, etc., are in ruins. The artillery pit of Niushan Fortress has become a mass grave, and the bones are covered with white bones. On October 21, 1938, the Japanese army captured Guangzhou, and the Japanese Army's Unit 8604 used the refugees in the refugee camp as experimental objects at Sun Yat-sen University and Nanshan Village, and conducted experiments on plague, cholera, malaria, etc., and even vivisection. The Japanese army also set up comfort stations all over the city, ** women, the Japanese also opened many Japanese-funded banks in Guangzhou, issued uncashable military tickets, plundered a lot of our wealth, the Japanese also monopolized the commercial market in Guangzhou, stipulating that local materials could only be sold to the Japanese army at a low price, and were not allowed to be bought and sold freely, how many businesses in Guangzhou City went bankrupt because of this, I don't know if this is the model of the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle in Mr. Yamada's mouth? ”

"Lu Yixiang, you are slandering."

Yamada never expected that Lu Yixiang's inaugural speech would turn into an indictment of the crimes of the Japanese army, and he was so angry that he was furious.

"Slander? Are the newspapers in my hands, the news reports and photos from more than three years all fabrications? Lu Yixiang handed the report paper and asked loudly.

"Lu Yixiang, are you going to smash the field today?" Yamada shouted.

"I'm here today to expose the truth and let the world understand the hypocrisy of you Japanese."

Lu Yixiang picked up the letter of appointment on the table, tore it to shreds, and threw it into the air: "If you want me Lu to become a traitor and a lackey, it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese to be an accomplice." ”

"You, you, you don't want to live anymore." Kazuo Yamada's face was hideous and terrifying, and he looked at Lu Yixiang through gritted teeth.

"From the moment I walked through this door, I didn't plan to get out alive, although I can't kill the thief, but I can keep my reputation as a Chinese, I die a worthy death, die without regrets."

Reporters have used pens and cameras to record Lu Yixiang's strong style.

Watanabe Ichiro, who was standing on the side, took out a pistol and shot at Lu Yixiang, Lu Yixiang was shot in the chest and fell to the ground, and there was chaos in the venue, and everyone fled one after another.

Yu Ting squeezed to Lu Yixiang's side from the crowd and shouted: "Uncle, uncle, wake up, wake up." ”

Lu Yixiang opened his mouth and squeezed out a few words from his throat: "Yuting...... Yu Ting, we ...... Our Lu family...... Whole...... It's all up to you. Tell...... Tell Yulin that his father ...... His father is ...... ...... for him Proud. ...... for me Report ...... for me"

Lu Yixiang swallowed in Yu Ting's arms. Yu Ting hugged the uncle's body, sat on the ground and cried.
