Chapter 70 The Yuhua Stone of Nanjing
Nanjing, referred to as Ning, is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, near the sea. Since ancient times, the wealth of the world has come from the southeast, and Jinling is its meeting. Nanjing has a history of 6,000 years of civilization, nearly 2,600 years of city building and nearly 500 years of capital history, and is one of the four ancient capitals of China, with the reputation of "the ancient capital of six dynasties and the capital of ten dynasties". Nanjing is an important birthplace of the Chinese nation, and has long been the political and cultural center of southern China, with a rich cultural heritage and rich historical relics.
Nanjing's mountains, rivers, cities and forests are integrated, and rivers, lakes and springs complement each other. The rolling Yangtze River passes through the city, and the total length of the shoreline along the river is nearly 200 kilometers. Nanjing's beautiful natural scenery is unique, the Purple Mountain is a unique flower, and the Shogunate Mountain is majestic. The Qinhuai River and the Jinchuan River linger in the meantime, and Xuanwu Lake and Mochou Lake dot the city. Nanjing has a subtropical monsoon climate, with abundant rainfall and four distinct seasons. The spring is sunny and the rainy season is cloudy and rainy. Summers are hot and winters are cold and dry.
Nanjing, as the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, naturally has to highlight its important value, and now the central government of the Nationals has set the capital of Nanjing, so Nanjing has once again put on a gorgeous coat and become a hot capital. Lu Wenting was taken to Nanjing, where she was imprisoned in Jiangsu No. 1 Prison (Laohuqiao Prison). Laohuqiao Prison was built in the Guangxu period and was the first to hold prisoners in Jiangning Prefecture. Later, the scale continued to expand, and prisoners from Jiangsu Province and even other provinces were also imprisoned here. During the Beiyang period, it was named the first prison in Jiangsu, and the national government followed it after the capital was Nanjing.
Before the establishment of the military prison in Nanjing, military prisoners, political prisoners and ordinary criminal prisoners were held here. In April 1928, Minister of Justice Cai Yuanpei petitioned the Nationalist Government to open another prison to separate political and military prisoners from ordinary prisoners, citing the prison's overcrowding, hot weather, and extremely poor sanitary conditions. In August of that year, after the construction of the Nanjing First Army Prison, political and military prisoners were relocated here. Since there were no female prisoners in the Army No. 1 Prison and the military prisons that were built later, female political and military prisoners from all over the country were held here after being sentenced.
Time is like flowing water, and Lu Wenting has been backlogged in Jiangsu No. 1 Prison for half a year. After Lu Wenting was escorted to Nanjing, Ouyang Jian had already rioted in Yunshui County. Therefore, the enemy did not torture Lu Wenting again, but only used coercion to make Lu Wenting write a letter of repentance, and as long as he announced that he would be free from the Communist Party. However, Lu Wenting resolutely refused the temptation of the enemy, and would rather be broken than broken. According to the convention, Lu Wenting should be shot after the sentence is pronounced, but after all, she is Ouyang Jian's "confidante", so the enemy thinks it is useful.
As the saying goes, the spring breeze in February is like scissors, but here in Nanjing, the spring breeze is indeed beautiful, warm and pleasant. At this time, Lu Wenting stood in front of the iron window and looked at the blue sky, and there was a spring flower blooming on the high iron window, indicating the prosperity of life. Lu Wenting's figure is obviously thin, and her prison uniform looks weak on her thin body. Her face was pale, and her large eyes seemed to be even more striking. "Sister Wen Ting, what are you looking at?" A woman in her 30s with short ear-length hair approached and asked. The woman's name was Xia Zhiyu, a Communist Party who was arrested in Shanghai. The cell houses 12 female political prisoners, the youngest of whom is Ms. Lu.
"Sister Xia, look at the spring flowers blooming on the iron window, how beautiful!" "If you stand on the field and see a large number of flowers blooming, this is the footsteps of spring, and no force can stop it!" Xia Zhiyu made a pun. Lu Wenting seemed to have some understanding, for some reason she suddenly felt that Ouyang Jian seemed to be not far away, in fact, how did she know that Ouyang Jian did take a cargo ship down the river, maybe this was telepathy, Lu Wenting appeared in front of Ouyang Jian's tall figure and smiling face.
"On the 10th, someone will come out to visit the prison!" A female prison guard shouted at the door. Lu Wenting was shocked when she heard this, who dared to visit the prison with such a special identity? Wen Ting was confused, and the female prison guard shouted again. "Sister Wen Ting, don't worry, those who dare to come to visit the prison must not be afraid of anything, maybe it's your family?" Xia Zhiyu saw Wen Ting's hesitation and encouraged her to go out. Wen Ting muttered in her heart while walking out, she has no brothers and sisters, it is impossible for her uncle Hao Lei to visit the prison, her father's relatives are all in Changsha and they are all distant relatives, they have too late to dodge, and it is impossible to come to visit the prison.
Lu Wenting walked into the visiting room in confusion, and a very beautiful woman in a military uniform greeted her in the room. Wen Ting carefully looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and she didn't know her at all. The beautiful woman stepped forward and smiled: "You are Lu Wenting?" Wen Ting said with some hostility: "I don't know you? "I don't know you either, but we know the same person—Ouyang Jian." Wen Ting immediately became alert. Zhong Wenjuan said with a smile: "Miss Lu, don't worry, Ouyang Jian is my cousin, and my name is Zhong Wenjuan." Lu Wenting was even more alert when she heard this. It wasn't Ouyang Jian who asked me to come to see you, to tell you the truth, you and I are rivals in love, I came by myself. ”
Then Zhong Wenjuan told how her cousin escaped from marriage and later lurked in Yunshui County. Hearing the end, Lu Wenting's face turned red and said, "You are so despicable, how could Ouyang Jian like you." Zhong Wenjuan didn't think about it: "Frankly speaking, the confusion in my heart when I see you has been lifted, you are a good match, but have you thought about it, it is destined to be a tragedy between you." "For the sake of faith, for the sake of my beloved, even if I am broken, I have no regrets!" Lu Wenting was resolute, and her brave heart was revealed.
Zhong Wenjuan said: "Miss Lu, you hate me and I understand, not to mention that we belong to two camps, if you start from the position of family affection, I want to save my cousin, because he chose a path of no return, maybe this is fate." Miss Zhong, I can see that you are sincere in your affection for your cousin, and I am very pleased with this. Shangfeng asked me to persuade you to be rejected by me, and I came to visit the prison on my own behalf. At present, Ouyang Jian is very brave in the Jiujiang region, and the two divisions of the Gan army were actually beaten by him, how about it is good news for you! :
"Miss Zhong, can you tell me this, it's not just due to family affection!" Lu Wenting heard that Ouyang Jian not only got rid of the danger, but also eased his attitude a lot. "To tell you the truth, deep down in my heart, I still love my cousin, but we are destined to fail. When I saw you, I was sure that you would not apostatize for the sake of your beloved. In the next step, the Nanjing Military Committee will use you to blackmail your cousin, I shouldn't have told you about it! "They won't succeed!" Lu Wenting's attitude is unquestionable.
Zhong Wenjuan was able to successfully escape from danger in Yunshui County, he thought that his cousin let him go, and it would be difficult to escape if he chased and killed him with his cousin's ability. After the report of the Jiujiang County Party Affairs Investigation Department, especially after learning about Lu Wenting's situation, Zhong Wenjuan was depressed and returned to Shanghai to rest for two months. In view of Zhong Wenjuan's outstanding performance, the Central Bureau of Statistics ordered her to be transferred to the headquarters. Once in Nanjing, Shangfeng tried to persuade her to persuade Lu Wenting, but she refused. Because Zhong Wenjuan has realized that her cousin, including Lu Wenting, is determined to believe, and it is difficult to change faith.
At the time of parting, Zhong Wenjuan said: "I have already greeted the prison warden, you can personally move freely in the courtyard for an hour every day, and I can only do this." Lu Wenting looked at Zhong Wenjuan silently. Back in the cell, the sisters came forward to ask questions, because political prisoners rarely come to visit the prison. Lu Wenting told the truth that it was Ouyang Jian's cousin who came to visit the prison, but she did not say the true identity of her cousin. "Sister Wen Ting, you are so happy!" Xia Zhiyu obviously doesn't know the truth.
Sure enough, on the second day, Lu Wenting was allowed an extra hour of free activity. It rained last night and the air was exceptionally fresh, and Lu Wenting strolled alone in the yard to enjoy a short time of freedom. Once a person loses his freedom, he knows how precious freedom is, but in exchange for freedom by rebellion, Lu Wenting thinks that it is a great shame. It had rained all night last night, and a small ditch had been washed out to reveal something of all sorts. Lu Wenting walked in and took a closer look at the small colored stones.
Lu Wenting knew that this was a rain flower stone, and many sisters in the room had a rain flower stone. In the past, Lu Wenting was not in the mood to appreciate Yuhuashi when she saw it, because her mind was on Ouyang Jian's body. Zhong Wenjuan will not lie to her, not only is her beloved not in any danger, but she is also killing the enemy bravely. After confirming Ouyang Jian's current situation, the shadow in Lu Wenting's heart disappeared, and her mood became happy. At this time, when I saw the small rain flower stone, I couldn't help but squat down and dig up. After a while, I dug up a handful of rain flower stones, walked to the edge of the pool and washed them carefully, and then wrapped them in a handkerchief.
The colorful rain flower stone, with dark red patterns inside, is like a mark of blood, indicating that the blood of countless martyrs is sprinkled here. No wonder the big sisters especially like Yuhua Stone, Lu Wenjuan seems to have spiritual sustenance, when she is depressed, when the day is difficult, she takes out Yuhua Stone, as if she has seen her beloved, as if she has added the power to overcome suffering. A few days later, a middle-aged man from the Central Communications Bureau came to see her and told her that she could write a letter to Ouyang Jian, but Lu Wenting refused.
After the middle-aged man left, Lu Wenting was arranged into a single room, and her living conditions suddenly improved. This is the strategy specified by the Central Bureau of Statistics, with the intention of slowly influencing Lu Wenting, of course, the purpose is still Ouyang Jian. Ouyang Jian's outstanding military talent in the Jiujiang region attracted the attention of the Nanjing Military Commission, in other words, Chiang Kai-shek. After all, Ouyang Jian was a student of the first phase of Whampoa, and Lao Jiang tried to hit Ouyang Jian's attention with emotion, so Ouyang Jian entered Lao Jiang's sight.
The female communist party imprisoned here is constantly righteous, this day Xia Zhiyu is going to the execution ground, Lu Wenting stretched out her hand from the iron door to grab Xia Zhiyu, and burst into tears. "Good sister, be strong, I'll go first." Lu Wenting stopped sobbing and clenched her fists. Someone in the women's prison sang the Internationale, and then began to harmonize. Lu Wenting sang loudly, this is not tragic but a new horn ・・・・・・.
