At the Wuhan Railway Station, the two groups of people finally converged. Then everyone took a boat, went down the river, and after three days and three nights of sailing, they finally came to Shanghai.

Shanghai is worthy of being the largest metropolis in the Far East, with a lot of traffic on the streets; High-rise buildings are lined up one after another, towering into the sky; There are a variety of large and small shopping malls, everything you need; The gentlemen on the road are oily-haired and dressed in suits and leather shoes; And the ladies and ladies are graceful and dressed in fashion; When the breeze blows, there will be bursts of aroma in the air, which is the smell of perfume, and talking and laughing with Wu Nong's soft language is even more intoxicating.

Yurong, Ah Cheng, Fat Aunt, Tiger Boy and others came to Shanghai for the first time and were attracted by the metropolis.

Ming'er was attracted by all kinds of colorful advertising paintings along the way, and her little head looked left and right to see enough.

A beautiful girl swept in front of Ah Cheng, and the fragrance of the girl's body made Ah Cheng can't help but sneeze: "Ah, my mom, why is it so fragrant here, I feel like I fell into the flowers." “

Tiger Boy looked up at the high-rise building with no end in sight, and was counting layer by layer, when a rickshaw came speeding behind him: "Get out of the way, little ghost." “

Yu Lin hurriedly pulled the tiger boy to the side, and the rickshaw driver turned his head and added: "Countryman, haven't you seen it?" “

"Young Master, what did he say?" The tiger boy couldn't understand Shanghainese, and looked at Yulin with a confused expression.

"Well, he said, welcome to Shanghai." Yu Lin winked at the tiger boy.

Shuxian was secretly happy on the side: "Okay, tiger boy, be careful, you have to walk on the sidewalk, and you have to take the zebra crossing when crossing the street." “

Tiger Boy nodded.

"Young master, look, it's so beautiful there." Yu Rong pointed to the neon lights on the road, the purple and red neon lights flashed with colorful light, and Yu Rong stood there and refused to move.

"Let's go, Yurong, you like to watch it, you can come out and watch it every night in the future." Shuxian pulled Yurong and walked forward quickly.

"Wow, young grandma, Shanghai is so big, so beautiful. I used to think that Guangzhou was the biggest, but I didn't expect Shanghai to be more dizzying than Guangzhou. “

"This is the largest metropolis in the Far East, naturally it is full of flowers and bright lights, but Yurong, we didn't come to Shanghai to live a drunken life."

"I understand, young grandma."

It's almost time to eat, and in addition to the smell of perfume on the road, the aroma of various foods has been added, which makes Ah Cheng and Tiger Boy swallow their saliva again and again.

"There's so much to eat in Shanghai." Out of professional habits, the fat aunt has been staring at the restaurants and food stalls on the side of the road: "There are all kinds of cuisines, Shanghai local cuisine, Guangbang cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Anhui cuisine have opened restaurants, oh, I also saw Yunnan rice noodles, as well as Western food, the variety is really rich enough." Shanghainese people are really blessed people. “

"Fat aunt, not all people in Shanghai have such a mouthful, and many poor people can't even afford to eat their nests." Shuxian looked at the fat aunt and smiled.

Yulin saw that everyone was a little hungry, so he went to the bun shop on the side and bought twenty buns for everyone to pad their hunger.

Yulin arranged for the team to live in an ordinary small hotel, and then went to the joint location - Yipinzhai alone.

Yipinzhai Restaurant is located on Xiafei Road, which is quite famous in the local area, and many diners come here every day to taste the delicacies.

Lu Yulin took a copy of "Declaration", walked into Yipinzhai, and walked straight to the counter, where the boss was settling accounts.

"Boss, do you have Cantonese food here?" Yulin came to the joint with excitement.

The boss raised his head, and when Lu Yulin saw it, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, the boss was none other than Chen Xuguang, the political director of his Whampoa Military Academy. Chen Xuguang also recognized that the guest in front of him was Lu Yulin, a military cadet back then.

"Yes, which Cantonese dish would you like to order?"

"Jinhua Yushu chicken."

"This dish is not cheap."

"As long as it's done authentically, money isn't an issue."

The code words were right, Chen Xuguang nodded at Lu Yulin: "Guest officer, please follow me to the private room upstairs." ”

Chen Xuguang led Lu Yulin to a private room called Juxian Hall upstairs, after entering the door, Chen Xuguang immediately closed the door of the private room, and walked to a wall, there was a landscape painting on the wall, Chen Xuguang pressed the pavilion in the middle of the painting, and another wall in the private room opened, and there was a secret room inside.

The two walked into the secret room, and Chen Xuguang pressed a button on the wall of the secret room again, and the wall closed again. The secret room is not large, only seven or eight square meters, and the layout inside is very simple, just a cabinet, a table, and a few long benches. The windows are covered with shutters.

Chen Xuguang and Lu Yulin hugged each other tightly.

"Teacher, I really didn't expect to see you again." Lu Yulin's eyes glistened with tears.

"Yulin, we are finally fighting together in the same trench." Chen Xuguang patted Lu Yulin's shoulders and looked at the proud protégé in front of him: "Well, it's stronger than in the military academy, and it has a more sense of vicissitudes." ”

"Teacher, it's been more than ten years since I left the military school."

"Yes, more than ten years have passed, the sea has changed, and the only thing that remains unchanged is your original intention."

"Teacher, how did you come to Shanghai?" Yu Lin was interested in Chen Xuguang's experience.

"This is a long story, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 37 years, I joined General Ye Ting's independent regiment and participated in the Battle of Pingxingguan, which was a great victory, we defeated the 5th Division of Itagaki Seishiro, known as the Japanese 'Steel Army', killing and wounding more than 1,000 of them, boosting our morale, thwarting the spirit of the Japanese army, and playing military and national prestige. However, in the 'Southern Anhui Incident' in 41 years, our New Fourth Army was encircled and suppressed by the Kuomintang, and more than 9,000 troops, and in the end only more than 2,000 people were left to break through the siege. Later, the party organization ordered us to go underground and continue to fight against the Japanese and the puppet traitors. ”

"President Jiang has always held the policy of 'settling the inside first' and only increasing internal friction, this kind of move will inevitably weaken the strength of the anti-Japanese war, so that the enemy will take advantage of the weakness, and in the end it will be the people of Li who will suffer, and it is our entire country and nation that suffers."

"Our President Jiang will not take the people's suffering to heart, and is bent on how to exterminate us and expand his sphere of influence."

"The Book of Songs says that brothers are on the wall, and they are insulted outside. How could Principal Jiang do such a stupid thing of boiling beans and burning fire, and compatriots killing each other? I see, there are times when he regrets it. ”

"Okay, Yulin, let's not talk about this for now, your situation has been roughly told to me by the higher authorities, I admire your courage and determination, for the sake of the national righteousness, it is not easy to sacrifice your family to defend the country."

"Since childhood, my father has warned us that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and the ancestors of our Lu family are all good and loyal ministers, and this family style must be passed on from generation to generation."

"Well said. You are worthy of being the son of a good minister and a loyal servant. ”

Chen Xuguang patted Lu Yulin's hand, then stood up, took out a stack of documents from the drawer of the cabinet and handed them to Lu Yulin: "These are your new ID cards, you and your wife need to change your name, because both of you are now wanted criminals on the list of Japanese criminals, so you will be renamed Ouyang Rui in the future, and your wife's name is Qin Xiaolan." ”

"Okay, no problem. I remembered. Lu Yulin looked at the ID documents.

"I heard that Yurong, the maid in your house, is now your right-hand man." Chen Xuguang was deeply impressed by Yurong, the girl who didn't know the depth and took the risk of sending canned food to Yulin made Yulin suffer a lot.

"Yes, Yurong grows up very fast, and a lot of things are done by her." Yu Lin was very relieved to see Chen Xuguang mention Yurong, who was his indispensable right-hand man in the struggle against the enemy over the years.

"I have an impression of this girl Yurong, she is hot, but she is very smart, she is a piece of jade."

"She's no longer what you saw when she first appeared, she's a mother now, and my children are basically brought up by Yurong, Ming'er is closer to Yurong than me and Shuxian. Shuxian and I sometimes really eat Yurong's vinegar. ”

"Children, naturally, whoever brings them up will be close to whomever they are, which is also the price we must pay in extraordinary times."

After Chen Xuguang finished speaking, he took out a few keys from the cabinet and handed them to Lu Yulin.

"Yulin, I have already rented a house for you, this is the key to the West Wing of you and your wife at No. 18 Jixiangli, Lafayette Road, French Concession, and this is the key to your photo studio at No. 55 Luban Road. What about this key, I found a two-story shop along the street in Baliqiao, where you can open a pharmacy below, and you can live on it, so let Yurong, Ah Cheng and the children live. These places are not too far apart, and it is only two stops away from my place, so it is more convenient to get in touch. ”

"Teacher, you're really thoughtful." Yu Lin took the keys and memorized the address.

"Out of this door, do you remember to call me Boss Chen. Don't forget. Chen Xuguang reminded.

"Yes, teacher. So when do we start working? ”

"Yulin, you go and settle your family first, tell me what you don't need, I will help you buy it, you then go to "Declaration" to apply for a reporter, and Shuxian will help you take care of it in the photo studio first."

"Okay, I understand, oh, teacher, I have a cook at home, we all call her Fat Aunt, the cooking is delicious, can you let her and her son Tiger Boy work with you?"

"Okay, I'm short of manpower here, you let their mother and son come over, I'll take care of food and accommodation here."

"Okay, I'll go and arrange it, teacher, I'll go."

Chen Xuguang shook hands with Lu Yulin: "Pay attention to your body, don't be too tired." ”

Lu Yulin nodded, then ran downstairs, left Yipinzhai, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, Yulin felt refreshed, and was about to welcome a new life, accept a new task, and face a new starting point.

Lu Yulin returned to the hotel, handed over the ID card and keys to everyone, and then everyone went their separate ways to settle down in their homes.
