Looking at the empty bedroom, Liu Tianshu was lying on the bed shirtless, with his hands behind his head and his eyes staring out the window.

Although it was still the height of summer, and the dormitory was so hot that people were constantly sweating, he still didn't move, thinking about what to do next.

After he took the initiative to stay and participate in the college students' frontline condolence group during the vacation, he knew that his normally peaceful college life had been disrupted.

You must know that in Beiping at that time, the authorities were still very vigilant about the anti-Japanese actions of college students. Although it was little Japan that took the initiative to provoke the war this time, if the Chinese side won this battle, everything would be fine, and if the 29th Army was forced to withdraw from Beiping and the Japanese army entered and occupied Beiping City, it would undoubtedly be a fool's dream that these college students who participated in the anti-Japanese action still wanted to continue their studies safely at Yenching University.

If you leave Beiping, where should you go?

Can you really only go back to your hometown in Shandong?

When Liu Tianshu was thinking, he heard a knock on the door, and then as the door was pushed open, Tang Jiyuan walked in.

"Tianshu, I knew you were hiding in the bedroom." Tang Jiyuan walked straight over and sat on the empty bed on the side, looking at Liu Tianshu and said.

After Liu Tianshu saw Tang Jiyuan, he quickly sat up from the bed.

"Tang Jiyuan, why are you here? Something? Liu Tianshu asked curiously.

Tang Jiyuan is a student of the Chinese Department and used to know Liu Tianshu, but only after the two came into contact in the anti-Japanese condolence group of college students, they got to know each other.

Of course, Liu Tianshu used to know Tang Jiyuan's name, after all, Tang Jiyuan was also a popular figure at Yenching University, and from time to time he took a group of enthusiastic students to march on the streets, giving speeches to promote anti-Japanese resistance or something.

Hearing Liu Tianshu's words, Tang Jiyuan's expression froze, and he said in a low voice: "Tianshu, I got reliable news that Little Japan has gathered heavy troops in Pingjin, and has also requisitioned more than 100,000 troops from China to rush to Pingjin. Now that the 29th Army has been divided into several pieces, it has fallen into a situation of passive combat, and the reinforcements of the Nationalist Government are still on the front line of the Yellow River, and the fall of Beiping is a foregone conclusion, I don't know what your plans are next? ”

"It can't be that serious, right? Two days ago, we went to Nanyuan, wasn't the Japanese attack repulsed? This morning, General Song also issued a telegram to resolutely defend the land and resist the war? Liu Tianshu asked pretending to be puzzled.

"I hope General Song can hold Beiping. However, people in Beiping are now panicking, and many dignitaries are rushing out of the city. A few of my classmates and I are going to leave Peking tonight, and if you want to leave, I will call you then. Tang Jiyuan sighed and said.

Liu Tianshu didn't expect Tang Jiyuan to come to inform him to leave Beiping, and he was a little moved. To tell the truth, he went to school in Peking for three years and knew a lot of classmates, but because he usually either soaked in the library to read books, or went to ask Sengev for advice on military affairs, he did not have much contact with his classmates, and in the eyes of many classmates, he had already become an outlier.

"Since you're all gone, there's not much point for me to stay at school, I'd better follow you out of town, I want to go home first." Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.

If the Japanese army really occupied Beiping, he would obviously not be able to read this book, and he really hadn't made up his mind about what to do next.

Tang Jiyuan was relieved to see that Liu Tianshu had agreed to leave Beiping with them, and after a few more words, he left Liu Tianshu's bedroom.

After receiving the notice from the organization to let their progressive students, who had appeared in public, evacuate Beiping, first enter Shanxi, and then arrive in Yan'an, he immediately reported Liu Tianshu's situation to Mr. Jiang Jinyong, who was in charge of the evacuation.

At two o'clock in the morning, Tang Jiyuan came to Liu Tianshu's dormitory, called Liu Tianshu, who had packed up his things early, and quickly left the campus, and arrived in the alley not far from the school gate, where seven or eight student-like people were waiting.

Liu Tianshu approached these people and found that not only Mr. Jiang Jinyong, who taught him Chinese history, was in the crowd, but also Su Lan, Xie Yan and Zeng Qiang.

Su Lan and Xie Yan saw Liu Tianshu and waved at him, but Zeng Qiang nodded to him.

Jiang Jinyong saw Liu Tianshu, only nodded, and said in a low voice: "Everyone is here, let's go." ”

A group of people left the campus and headed west, and at a street corner they met up with a group of apparently intellectuals, got into a few carriages that had been prepared, and headed west of the city.

The further west the carriage went, Liu Tianshu found that there were more people hurrying forward, and the road was gradually crowded with cars, carriages and pedestrians, it seemed that Tang Jiyuan was right, and the well-informed people had begun to retreat in advance.

Or the Beiping authorities secretly acquiesced that the soldiers defending the city did not stop the crowd from flowing out of the city.

At dawn, Liu Tianshu and Tang Jiyuan came to a small town, and after a night of hurrying, everyone was already tired, so they found a breakfast shop, and after eating indiscriminately, they began to walk west.

However, the alert Liu Tianshu found that there were a few more people in his group at this time, one of them was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, burly, in his forties, wearing a white sweatshirt, followed by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, with big and bright eyes, a delicate face full of youth, and a big braid swaying behind him.

As for the other two, one was in his thirties with infinite vicissitudes on his face, one hand was strong and powerful, and the other man was only in his twenties and looked very shrewd.

After these four people joined the team, the middle-aged man whispered a few words to Teacher Jiang from time to time, and then glanced at the entire team, while the other three people stayed by the carriage intentionally or unintentionally.

Liu Tianshu took a closer look and found that these people obviously had guys on them, but Tang Jiyuan didn't say it, so he pretended not to know.

Leaving the town and walking west for more than twenty miles, suddenly heard a roar in the sky, everyone heard the sound and looked up, and saw a few black dots flying quickly from the northeast sky, and when the black dots reached their heads, they found that it was the plane of the little devil.

Suddenly, the entire westbound team became panicked, and some of the girls even screamed, but fortunately, the plane did not care about their team at all, and flew straight to the southwest.

At the same time, in the direction of Beiping behind him, there was a faint sound of explosions.

It seems that the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack on the 29th Army.

Liu Tianshu and his party turned a hill along the avenue, and the man in his thirties who walked in front suddenly looked stunned and made a move to stop advancing.

When these people saw them, an old man shouted in panic: "The road ahead is blocked by little devils, and they will kill people when they see them, and they will not be able to cross." ”

"What? Got a little devil ahead? Jiang Jinyong and the middle-aged man were startled when they heard this, and hurriedly ran over, grabbed the old man and asked nervously.

The old man obviously hadn't come back from his fright, and when he saw the two of them, he gasped and said in a trembling voice: "The little devils are not people, they set up machine guns in front of them, and they swept people when they saw them, it's too miserable, it's too miserable." ”

As he spoke, the old man wiped away his tears and ran backwards with the panicked crowd.

"Lao Zhao, it seems that the road ahead is blocked by little devils, what do you think we should do next?" Jiang Jinyong learned that the road in front of him was blocked, and said to Lao Zhao in a little anxious.

It turned out that the burly middle-aged man was surnamed Zhao.

Lao Zhao patted his head, thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Lao Jin, it seems that we can't go to Lijia Town, so let's take a detour to Xiaozhangshan to Shiqiao Village, but in this way, it will take an extra day." ”

Lao Zhao received the task of escorting Mr. Jin with his people to Shiqiao Village through Lijia Town.

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Jin Jiangyong thought about it helplessly, so he had to nod and agree.

Liu Tianshu leaned on the carriage and saw Jiang Jinyong and the middle-aged man discussing in a low voice from a distance, while the vicissitudes of life who was guarding the carriage looked around vigilantly at this time, and his hand also touched his waist.

It wasn't just him, but the young man and the girl with long braids were also watching around alertly.

Jiang Jinyong and Lao Zhao returned to the carriage, and Jiang Jinyong immediately explained the situation to the group of college students, and the expressions on their faces became nervous when they heard that they had found the little devil in front of them.

Then, under the command of Lao Zhao and Jiang Jinyong, the team immediately turned around and walked back for three miles, and then turned south into a trail in the mountains.

Unfortunately, after the carriage had gone about four or five miles, the mountain road became rough, and everyone had to abandon the carriage and walk.

At noon, the group rested in a small village in the mountains, ate something by the way, and then continued on their way.

In this group of people, except for Lao Zhao, the rest are teachers and students who have been evacuated from Beiping, many of whom rarely exercise, and they seem exhausted after walking along the way, and the speed of the whole team is getting slower and slower.

Under the urging of Lao Zhao and Jiang Jinyong, everyone finally bypassed Xiaozhang Mountain, and saw that they could go over another mountain pass and walk along the hillside to the side of the road, and the two girls were so tired that they sat on the ground.

Jiang Jinyong saw that these college students couldn't walk, and in desperation, he was about to let everyone rest, when he heard a group of people suddenly appear on the avenue on the left.

As soon as the vicissitudes of life man appeared in that crowd, he immediately felt something different, and when he looked closely, it was a Japanese soldier wearing a yellow military uniform, and he suddenly shouted.

"It's not good, let's go, the devil is coming."

When Lao Zhao heard this, he hurriedly turned around and saw a group of Japanese soldiers walking along the avenue down the hillside. At this time, the devil soldier also saw the crowd on the hillside, and immediately put his gun in his hand, howled from his mouth, and rushed towards this side.

It turned out that Liu Tianliu and they were obviously not ordinary people's dress, which attracted the attention of the little devils.

At this time, the crowd on the hillside saw the devil rushing over, and immediately became panicked. Seeing this, Jiang Jinyong pointed to the mountains and forests on his right and shouted, "Students, don't panic, run to the mountains over there." ”

At this time, Lao Zhao had already pulled out the shell gun on his waist and said to Jiang Jinyong: "Lao Jiang, you go quickly, we will cover." ”

After speaking, the man with the vicissitudes of life and the young man desperately grabbed the small dirt bag in front of them and prepared to block it.

At this time, Liu Tianshu had already seen that the ghosts who rushed were about a squad, and at the same time, there was already a unique gunfire in the air. He knew that with only a few Lao Zhao, he would definitely not be able to stop it for long, so he put the suitcase in his hand on the ground and quickly opened it, took out a cloth bag inside, and then closed the bookcase and handed it to Tang Jiyuan.

"Ji Yuan, help me take it, I'll stay and help Lao Zhao."

After speaking, Liu Tianshu had already unfolded the cloth bag, carried the shell gun inside in his hand, and stuffed the three magazines into his waist. Then he put the remaining two boxes of ammunition and cloth bags into his pocket.

Tang Jiyuan didn't expect Liu Tianshu to carry a weapon, but he also knew that it was not the time to talk much, so he took the bookcase, said you have to take care, and then hurriedly followed the retreating college students to the mountain.

At this time, the gun in Lao Zhao's hand had already sounded.
