Chapter 56: Homecoming
In the early morning, the sky was just dawning. Hong Yu and the Tang brothers had just returned to the dormitory not long after morning exercise. There was a knock on the door. Tang Xingshang opened the door and saw Zhang Sixiao with a solemn expression, and asked, "Why did you get up so early today?" β
Hearing Tang Xingshang's question, Hong Yu poked his head out, saw Zhang Sixiao standing at the door, and asked, "Is there something wrong?!" β
Zhang Sixiao asked, "Hong Yu, can we talk?!" β
Hong Yu thought for a while and nodded, "You wait for me at the door!" After that, Hong Yu put on his clothes, took off the hat hanging on the wall, walked out of the dormitory, and went downstairs with Zhang Sixiao. The two walked silently, Zhang Sixiao didn't say a word along the way, and when the two of them were about to walk into the restaurant, Zhang Sixiao's voice rang out and said, "Hong Yu, do you remember the training we participated in four months ago?!" β
Hong Yu stopped, nodded, and replied, "I will never forget that training." Saying that, Hong Yu saw that Zhang Sixiao was wrong, and asked, "Why do you ask me this." Is something wrong?! β
Zhang Sixiao nodded, pointed to Song Peixian, who was standing not far away, and said, "Look who that person is?!" β
Hong Yu looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Sixiao, and when he saw Song Peixian, Hong Yu was slightly stunned for a moment, and asked, "Their training at that base is over?!" β
Zhang Sixiao replied, "It's over." But he came out a day before the other students. With that, Zhang Sixiao and Hong Yu walked over. Song Peixian said: "Hong Yu, are you curious, why are we looking for you?!" β
Hong Yu shook his head and said, "It's not a good thing to be too curious alone. So I'm not curious. If you will tell me, I will listen. If you don't want to say, I won't ask. β
Zhang Sixiao looked at Song Peixian and said, "How is it?!" Old Song, I'm not wrong, right?! β
Song Peixian nodded and said, "Hong Yu, except for Dong Yajun and Wu Hai, who came with us, and the others who left at the beginning, the others have persevered until today. But I didn't expect that there were traitors and hidden Japanese agents among us. β
"You don't suspect that I'm a devil agent hiding among us, do you?!" Without waiting for Song Peixian's words to finish, Hong Yu hurriedly interrupted. Song Peixian and Zhang Sixiao heard Hong Yu's words, and the two of them laughed in unison. Song Peixian said: "Hong Yu, where do you want to go." Even if Sixiao and I were devil agents, you wouldn't be. β
Hong Yu reacted at this time and asked, "Did you all inject the No. 2 medicine during the torture training?!" β
"Yes!" Song Peixian continued: "There are eight in total. Five traitors; Three devil agents. The base immediately informed our embassy of the news, and it is estimated that it is now known in China. At the moment when the situation in China is not stable, the Ambassador has asked me to inform you that it is possible that the five of you will end the course early and return to China. β
Hong Yu nodded slightly and asked casually, "What about you?!" β
Song Peixian shook his head and replied, "I don't know." Everything is waiting for domestic news. β
The three of them walked into the dining room, grabbed some food, and found a corner spot to sit down. Before they had time to eat, the Tang brothers and Sun Jiaji appeared next to the three of them. Seeing that the three people who suddenly appeared were a little out of breath, Song Peixian was stunned and looked at Hong Yu.
Hong Yu turned his head to see the three of them and asked, "What are you three doing standing without eating?!" β
Sun Jiaji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hong Yu, you and Zhang Sixiao still have the heart to eat?!" Just now Messer came to us and told us five of them to return home three months early. β
"So fast?!" Hong Yu and Zhang Sixiao glanced at each other. Hong Yu said: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Since there is a command in the country, we will obey it. Saying that, Hong Yu put down the spoon in his hand, looked at the Tang brothers and Sun Jiaji, and asked, "What?!" You three don't want to go back home?! β
Tang Xingshang pulled over a chair, sat down and said, "Brother Yu, we didn't make a mistake, why did we let us go back to China early?!" β
When Hong Yu heard Tang Xingshang's words, he immediately reacted and said, "I thought the three of you were worried about something?!" It turns out that after a long time, the three of you are worried that you will be cleaned up when you go back. The three of you are worrying about nothing. Just now they were telling me that the current domestic situation is unstable, and we have to return to China ahead of schedule?! β
"Really?!" Tang Xingshang tentatively looked at Hong Yu and asked, then looked at Song Peixian and Zhang Sixiao, and saw that the three of them had the same reaction, and finally let go of his hanging heart. At this time, Hong Yu's voice sounded again: "There is still one month left before we return to China. The five of us must find a way to finish the rest of the lessons in a month. We can't let the Germans look down on us. β
A month is not a long time, but for Hong Yu and other studious students, this month's time is really too precious.
"Hong, I heard you're going back soon?!" At the end of the morning class on the last day, Piero stopped Hong Yu, who was about to leave, and asked.
Hong Yu nodded slightly and said, "We have received an order to return to China tomorrow." β
"So fast?!" Piero looked at Hong Yu with some surprise and said, "You are the best student I have ever met. I know that you only have your homeland in mind. But I would like to ask you if you would like to stay in Germany. β
Hong Yu asked rhetorically: "Instructor, if your country is being invaded, will you choose to stay in another country and serve them?!" β
Piero shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think I understand your answer." Hopefully, what you have learned here will be useful to your country's resistance to aggression. Saying that, Piero took down the small bag that was leaning on his back, stuffed it into Hong Yu's hand, and said: "I don't have anything else to give you, here are some of my work experience and notes." You take it back and take a good look, and count it as a parting gift from me as an instructor! With that, Piero didn't look back and walked away quickly.
Hong Yu took the small bag in his hand and stood stupidly, watching Piero's figure gradually disappear from his field of vision, Hong Yu's eyes gradually moistened.
Back in the dormitory, Hong Yu put down the small bag in his hand and sat on the bed in a daze. The Tang family brothers, who were sorting things out, saw Hong Yu sitting on the bed and didn't move, the two glanced at each other, Tang Xingshang walked to Hong Yu's side and asked, "Brother Yu, what's wrong?!" β
Hong Yu coughed lightly and said, "I've been here for more than a year, and I'm a little reluctant to leave suddenly." β
Tang Xingye walked over, patted Hong Yu on the shoulder, sat down and said, "Brother Yu, back then, in order to avoid marriage, Xingshang and I were admitted to the military academy under your flicker. But then something happened to your family, and you followed us to the military school. You've been the backbone of both of us ever since. From enlistment to the Battle of Songhu to Germany, the three of us were together. Are you worried that when we return home, the three of us will be separated?! β
Hong Yu chuckled and said, "The young eagle will always spread its wings and fly high. We're going to be separated sooner or later, and I'm not worried about that. Rather, it is worried about our country. β
"Knock, knock, knock!" Before Hong Yu finished his words, there was a knock on the door. Tang Xingshang opened the door and saw Messev standing at the door, and asked curiously, "Major Messev, why are you here?!" After that, Tang Xingshang got out of the way.
Messer walked into their dormitory and said, "I'm here to inform you that the base is giving you a holiday this afternoon. Wait a minute, your consulate will pick you up and get you out of here. Please put your stuff in order! β
"Got it!" Hong Yu stood up, walked in front of Messev, and asked with a smile, "Can we have a parting hug?!" β
"Of course!" Messef hugged Hong Yu, and Messer pressed Hong Yu's ear and whispered, "Welcome to Germany next time." After saying that, when Messef and Hong Yu separated, he quietly slipped a note into Hong Yu's pocket, then saluted Hong Yu and the three of them, turned around and walked out of their dormitory.
When they came, there were more than forty people who were lively, but when they left, there were only five of them. After about an hour, after sorting out things, Hong Yu and the Tang brothers, as well as Sun Jiaji and Zhang Sixiao, met at the staircase, and walked down the dormitory building with some reluctance.
Looking at the two black cars parked on the small playground in front of them and the instructors standing next to the cars, Hong Yu and the five of them stopped. The instructors walked over and hugged each of them when Stina walked up to Hong Yu. Hong Yu's face became embarrassed. Stina said, "Hong Yu, I remember you! You're the only one who made me that miserable. I hope that the next time you come to Germany, you will not fall under my hands. β
Hong Yu replied with a smile, "You will never be my opponent. But I still want to give you a hug. β
When Stina heard Hong Yu's words, she seemed to be venting and flirting like a lover, Hong Yu punched her in the shoulder, hugged Hong Yu, and said, "Take care on the road." β
"I will!" Hong Yu let go of Stina, and under the cheers of all the instructors, he followed the Tang brothers into the car. β¦β¦
The heart is like an arrow, and the family is even more timid. After drifting at sea for more than 20 days, the boat on which Hong Yu and his party arrived at Wusongkou. Looking at Shanghai close at hand, Hong Yu stood on the deck and was stunned, and at this time Zhang Sixiao walked to Hong Yu's side and asked, "What are you thinking?!" β
Hong Yu replied, "This is my third time in Shanghai. β
"The third time?!" Zhang Sixiao asked with a smile.
Hong Yu nodded and replied, "The first time was during the Battle of Songhu; The second time was to Germany; Now it's back, isn't it the third time?! β
Zhang Sixiao smiled and said, "Go and prepare!" I just asked, and the ship is about to dock. β
"I see!" With that, Hong Yu turned around and left. Looking at Hong Yu's back, Zhang Sixiao shook his head with a smile, took out the cigarette that had been sitting for a long time, and looked at it and threw it into the sea.
