At dusk, a group of refugees appeared from the Jiaxing defense line in Hangzhou Bay, each of them holding a large bag and a small bag, and walked heavily through the defense line guarded by the 36th Division of the National Army. The soldiers of the national army looked at the tired bodies and helpless eyes of their compatriots, and their hearts were equally heavy. At present, there are still a large number of refugees in the enemy-occupied areas who have retreated spontaneously, and the Japanese army does not stop them. In fact, the Japanese did this on purpose, in order to increase the burden and confidence of the Nationalist Government.

At a checkpoint set up by the national army, a little girl in a student uniform with messy hair and a dirty face suddenly ran out of the refugee ranks. The little girl's face was blurred, but judging by her thin figure, she was about thirteen or fourteen years old. "I want to see your highest commander and report on the enemy." The little girl said loudly. The two sentries standing guard looked at the unkempt little girl in front of them with some disapproval, and one of the soldiers teased: "Little girl, are you scared stupid and making some jokes, go to your family quickly so as not to get lost." ”

"I don't have a family, I want to see your highest commander!" The little girl is very stubborn. "Hurry up, hurry up! What a mess! A sentry stepped forward and shoved. At this time, a regimental commander happened to come to the front to inspect it, and when he saw this scene, he came over and asked, "What happened?" Before the sentry could reply, the little girl hurriedly ran forward and said loudly: "You are the supreme commander, and I have a major military situation to report to you!" "Major military intelligence?" The colonel asked with interest: "I am the supreme commander, what a major military situation!" ”

The little girl glanced left and right and then stepped forward and muttered in her ear, and the colonel of the national army stared at him in surprise. With such a "major military situation", this major of the national army did not dare to make decisions without authorization. Soon after, the commander of the major drove the little girl to the division headquarters. After the major commander in the division headquarters finished reporting, the division commander Song Xilian also said with a look of surprise: "The little girl won't deliberately lie to us just to get help!" "Master, what the little girl said has a nose and eyes, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false!"

The two were guessing when the little girl walked in. At this time, the dirt on the little girl's face had been washed and her true face was revealed. With big eyes, fair skin, and a towering nose, she looks like a natural beauty, and her temperament looks like a rich lady. "Miss Ouyang, you claim to be Ouyang Jian's sister, tell me about your family's situation?" Division commander Song Xilian asked. The little girl was not stunned at all, and she talked about her life experience with sharp teeth. Song Xilian hesitated for a moment after listening to the narration and said, "Miss Ouyang, I'm sorry, I have to confirm your identity." ”

In the headquarters of the 3rd Corps in Yunshui County, Ouyang Jian smiled bitterly after reading the telegram and said: "This little girl is bold enough, immediately send a report to Shanghai Secret Arrow!" Two days later, Ouyang Jian and his wife Mei Fang drove to Xingzi County to pick up people. Passengers waiting to board the pier gathered, and a steamer appeared on the lake. "Ouyang, you never talk about family affairs, the first time I heard that you have a younger sister?" Ouyang Jian said apologetically: "After my mother died, my father continued to string, this sister was born to my stepmother, and I also met for the first time!" After 918, my father and stepmother settled in Beiping, and later came to Shanghai. The little sister must have taken advantage of the chaos to run out, and I have already asked the dark arrow to inform the family, otherwise my father may not be able to sleep well. ”

While talking, the passenger ship slowly docked, and in the flow of passengers who disembarked, a young officer of the Eighth Route Army and a beautiful little girl walked up to the dock. Ouyang Jian concluded that the beautiful little girl was his sister, and the oncoming sturdy general and a beautiful female soldier made the clever Ouyang Mei guess that it was the second brother he thought about day and night. Ouyang Mei happily ran forward and said coquettishly: "You are my second brother Ouyang Jian!" "You're Xiaomei!" "Second brother, it's really you!" Ouyang Mei threw herself into Ouyang Jian's arms and sobbed aggrievedly.

The young officer who saw him off smiled and was inconvenient to disturb, and Mei Fang also looked at her sister-in-law happily and smiled silently. "Okay, little sister, don't cry, you're too bold, you don't tell your family when you run away from home, you make your parents, uncles, and aunts worry a lot." "I wanted to come to Jiangxi to find you for a long time, but my parents didn't let me come. The Japanese bandits occupied Shanghai, and I sneaked out. Second brother, I want to join the Eighth Route Army to fight devils. "Nonsense, your task now is to study. Come and meet your sister-in-law! ”

"Second brother, you have married a wife, your sister-in-law is foreign and beautiful, the second brother is really discerning!" Ouyang Mei seemed to be ripe, and stepped forward to take Mei Fang's hand and look at it. "My little sister is more beautiful, and she will definitely be a big beauty in the future!" The two sisters-in-law were close to each other, and Ouyang Jian turned his gaze to the young officer. "Report to the chief, I am the operational staff officer of the 2nd Corps and the 3rd Army Headquarters, and I am ordered by Commander-in-Chief Peng to escort the young lady back." "Thank you for your hard work along the way!"

Soon three cars were on the road, the front and rear cars were guards, and Ouyang Jian personally drove the car in the middle. The guard Xiao Wang sat in the front row, and Mei Fang and her sister-in-law Ouyang Mei sat in the back row. "Second brother, you hurry up and inform your parents in Shanghai, they don't know what the rush is like!" "You just remembered Mom and Dad, what did you do earlier? Don't worry, I've informed them! Soon, Ouyang Mei became excited again and said: "Second brother, I heard that the Communist Party is very poor, but I didn't expect you to have a car!" ”

"Little sister, you have to be prepared to endure hardship, if you can't endure hardship, I will send you back to Shanghai. Besides, you have to listen to me, or I'll send you back to Shanghai!" "Sister-in-law, you can't say a word about him!" Ouyang Mei asked for help like a coquettish. "Little sister, don't worry, sister-in-law is in charge of you." "I knew my sister-in-law felt sorry for me!" , Ouyang Mei affectionately grabbed Mei Fang's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder to make love. "Xiaomei, you must go to Nanchang to go to school and finish your studies!"

"Second brother, are you my own brother? As soon as people came, you drove me away! Ouyang Mei pursed her lips aggrievedly. Ouyang, the little sister is too young, let her stay in Yunshui County, we can also take care of her! Mei Fang continued: "Little sister, are you willing to study medicine?" "Yes!" "Ouyang, I think I'll let Xiaomei go to the field hospital doctor class to study!" Since Mei Fang was in charge as a sister-in-law, Ouyang Jian had no choice but to acquiesce.

At dusk, the group returned to Yunshui County. Shortly after entering the house, a middle-aged woman walked in with a two-year-old boy in her arms. Mei Fang hurriedly took the child and said, "Xiaoxiong, this is your sister-in-law, call your aunt!" ," the child stared at the timid eyes and cried out: "Sister! Mei Fang cried and laughed: "This is your sister-in-law called aunt!" "Auntie!" The child is obviously a little aggrieved, in the eyes of the little guy, this is clearly a big sister! When Ouyang Mei saw her little nephew, she stepped forward excitedly to play, and it was not difficult to see that she was also a child.

The next day, Ouyang Jian personally sent Ouyang Mei, who was dissatisfied, to the field hospital. "Dean Hu, my sister is proud and accustomed to being at home, you have to be strict with her, from now on she is your soldier, and like ordinary soldiers, she has no privileges." Ouyang Mei pursed her lips and sulked, and Dean Hu said cautiously: "Chief of General Staff, she is still a child!" "From today onwards, she is not a child, she is a soldier of the Eighth Route Army." "Xiaomei, there is nothing special in my place, I have to ask for leave when I go out, and I can only go home for a few weeks a week, understand?"

Ouyang Mei turned her back to Ouyang Jian silently, Ouyang Jian smiled at Dean Hu, and then said with a wrenched face: "Little sister, you are the one who asks to fight devils, you must be strict with yourself!" "I know I don't need you to teach me!" Ouyang Mei was a little aggrieved, but her tears didn't come out. At this time, Dr. Li came over and said, "I heard that there is a little beauty, where is the little beauty!" "Sister-in-law! Let me introduce you, this is my sister Ouyang Mei! Ouyang Jian said politely when he saw Doctor Li.

Doctor Li stepped forward and took Ouyang Mei's hand and said, "Look, the truth is a flower, what a great beauty." Brother Ouyang, it's not my sister-in-law who said you, and my little sister won't tell me when she comes. "Sister-in-law, my little sister came very suddenly, she arrived last night." "Look at your brother, why do you have to play for two days when your sister comes, you might as well be sent to the field hospital immediately, your heart is really hard." "Sister-in-law, Mei Fang and I are both busy, and we don't have time to take care of her at all!"

"Little beauty come with me!" Without saying a word, Dr. Li took Ouyang Mei's hand and left. Ouyang Jian shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Dean Hu, I've bothered you!" "Chief of General Staff, please rest assured, I will definitely be able to take care of Sister Ling." "Don't think he's my sister and takes special care of her, I'm saying that she doesn't have privileges." After Ouyang Jian finished speaking, he strode away. Dean Hu finally took a breath, Ouyang Mei was taken care of by Mu Shixiong's wife, so there would be no mistakes.

Inside the house, Ouyang Mei was pleasantly surprised: "Big sister, my second brother is afraid of you!" He called you sister-in-law, what's going on? "Little sister, it's not that your brother doesn't care about you, he is the backbone of everyone, and the burden on his shoulders is very heavy. Your sister-in-law is very busy at work, and you can't blame them. My husband and your brother are comrades-in-arms, understand? Ouyang Mei nodded. Little sister, you live with me first during this time, I have a little sister and a little brother at home, you won't be lonely. ”

"Big sister, I can't go to your house, I want to stay in the hospital, I can't let the second brother down!" Ouyang Mei said firmly. "What a sensible girl, but come home with me tonight and get to know the young lady, okay?" Ouyang Mei nodded. At dinner, Mei Fang said angrily: "Ouyang, you are so ruthless, my little sister will definitely complain about me." "At the moment of the great enemy, it is not the time when children are in love, and you and I cannot be distracted from our work. I think my little sister will understand later. ”

"I'll go see her, you can eat it yourself!" Mei Fang glared at her husband and turned to leave. Ouyang Jian shook his head and walked towards the intelligence room, the Japanese army has begun to move recently, and he wants to keep first-hand information at all times. ”
