The home of the smiling tiger is in the middle of the village, because the family is big, the gatehouse is very magnificent, and it should be called brick carving art in later generations.

When Tang Xingying, Song Guangwu, and Yan Yaocai led the soldiers of the guard squad to come over, the chief worker Li Tou, who was guarding the door, asked the chief what he was doing? Song Guangwu said that he didn't sleep well all night last night, and he couldn't freeze, so he was still comfortable at Rich Li's house, and he came back to make up for sleep. Lao Li Tou hurriedly went in and called the owner, saying that the Red Army commander was coming back to live again.

Smiling Tiger has felt that things are not good since the team moved out of his house yesterday. Last night, a few people were specially arranged to see what the task force was doing, but because the soldiers of the guard squad were on strict alert, they could not come to the front. Smiling Tiger thought about it, the team must have gotten together with those poor ghosts. What good thing can these people do together, they must be saying bad things about themselves and preparing to fight with themselves.

The smiling tiger also didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, not knowing what to do. Run, I can't give up such a big family business. Besides, where can you run, the whole of Shaanxi has become the Red Army, where is it safe to run? If you don't run, I'm afraid that this land reform team will deal with the poor ghosts in the next step, which will be fatal. Think about the sins you have created before, the smiling tiger is afraid, the poor ghosts used to be afraid of themselves, that is, whoever wants the land will be the land of whom's family, and whoever you want to sleep with will sleep with the daughter of whom's family, but this team is here, if all the poor ghosts get up and rebel early, then no one is afraid of themselves, and the ending is not daring to think.

The more the smiling tiger thought about it, the more he hated it, this [***] is really a fucking nest, so many troops, how could he let the red bandits occupy Shaanxi. People say that raising soldiers is a thousand times to use soldiers, but when it's time to use them, they can't even find a shadow of [***], just like those bandits, they are all the way.

By the time dawn, the smiling tiger had already made up his mind: run!

However, with such a big family business, even if you run, you have to arrange it. The Smiling Tiger plans to take care of things during the day and sneak away at night. I heard that there is a central army in Tongguan, so it will be easy to do as long as you run over.

There was something in his heart, and the smiling tiger got up early, told a few little wives to clean up, and called the housekeeper and the bookkeeper to prepare to explain things.

was talking to the housekeeper and the bookkeeper, and Lao Li Tou came in and said that the team was back again, saying that he hadn't slept well all night last night and wanted to come back to make up for sleep.

The smiling tiger is not the old Li Tou, and he thinks that he is broken, I am afraid that they are going to do it. He told Lao Li Tou that the owner was not there, and let them rest.

With that, the smiling tiger turned around and was about to go to the drawer to get the pistol. I remembered Song Guangwu's Sichuan dialect: "Dongjia, what are you busy with?" ”

As soon as the smiling tiger turned around, he saw Tang Xingying, Song Guangwu, and Yan Yaocai's pistols all pointed at him, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Song Guangwu stepped forward and pulled open the drawer, took out a pistol and stuck it into his waist, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Li Dongjia still wanted to welcome us with a pistol, get up!" ”

The two warriors stepped forward and slipped the smiling tiger up and tied him behind his back.

The housekeeper and the bookkeeper on the side saw that the owner was tied up, and they were so frightened that they squatted on the ground and trembled and did not dare to speak.

Tang Xingying saw that she had caught the smiling tiger, her nervous mood relaxed, she sat down on the chair, and asked Song Guangwu to lead the soldiers to interrogate the smiling tiger and the housekeeper, find out the gun, and let Yan Yaocai go and call Wu Shengzhi to bring those mass backbones in, guard the courtyard, and prevent anything from happening.

After Song Guangwu and Yan Yaocai went out, Tang Xingying found that the hands holding the guns were shaking, and there were beads of sweat on his face. Only then did I remember that this was the first time I had left him and left the army to lead people to fight alone, and I saw what I was nervous about, and I lost the dead! If he knew, his teeth would laugh out!

There was a cry in the courtyard. Tang Xingying knew that this was the smiling tiger's female relatives crying, and she couldn't bear it, so she went out to take a look, and sure enough, it was several little wives of the smiling tiger who were rolling around, crying and scolding.

A few fighters went up to tie up, Tang Xingying stopped the soldiers, and asked them to lock up these female dependents first, not to tie them up, saying that they are also the daughters of good families, but let the smiling tiger occupy them, I believe they will wake up.

Hearing Tang Xingying say this, the smiling tiger's female dependents stopped crying and obediently returned to their respective houses.

The Smiling Tiger's guns were finally found, 10 old sleeves with 50 rounds of ammunition each.

When Yan Yaocai and Wu Shengzhi came in with the backbone of the masses, the courtyard was basically calm. Tang Xingying discussed with Song Guangwu, Yan Yaocai, and Wu Shengzhi, and decided to set up the Huangsi Village Militia Team, with Li Shishi as the captain, Ergen as the deputy captain, Song Guangwu as the instructor, and Yan Yaocai as the deputy instructor.

Tang Xingying asked Song Guangwu to bring the smiling tiger's pistol and handed it directly to Li Shishi, asking him and Ergen to select the militia, and Yan Yaocai was responsible for training to defend the fruits of victory.

Several people went together to check the granary of the Smiling Tiger's house. When I went into the backyard, I saw several large granaries. The housekeeper opened a warehouse door, and everyone was surprised, in more than a dozen large warehouses, there were large and small hoards, all of which were wheat, and the innermost ones were a little moldy, and they didn't know when they were stored until now.

Li Shishi and Ergen hurriedly opened the other warehouses, which were full of wheat.

Li Shishi ran to the yard and squatted on the ground and cried, crying and shouting: "God, open your eyes and see what this bastard has done?" So many people starved to death, how many people even ate the bark of grass roots, and this bastard's house was full of big and small hoards, which could make the wheat moldy. Oh my God, are you blind? Hehehehe! ”

In these years, food is the most expensive. Seeing so much food in a small village at once, Tang Xingying was also surprised. Busy discussing with Song Guangwu, Yan Yaocai, and Wu Shengzhi, he immediately convened a mass meeting to mobilize everyone to organize and divide grain and land. But there was too much food, leaving the seeds and rations of the whole village, and 300 catties per person were divided, and it was enough to eat wheat until it was ripe. The rest of the villagers were transported to Xi'an for military rations.

After calling Li Shishi and Ergen, and telling them their opinions, both of them said that they were good, and immediately organized the backbone of the masses to go door-to-door to call people.

On this day, Huangsi Village was boiling. The villagers held a meeting, and lined up to see the granary of the smiling tiger's family, only to know where the grain had gone after a hard year. Under the organization of the work team and the militia, the villagers adopted the method of voting for corn seeds and counted their votes, elected Li Shishi as the village head, and elected the Huangsi Village Peasant Association, and then began to distribute grain.

Adults and children were all smiling on their faces, and even the old lady with her little feet came out, holding a cloth bag and a half-bucket to help the men distribute food.

Li Shishi told Tang Xingying that he had never seen Huangsi Village as lively and festive as it was today, and it was much more festive than the New Year.

Tang Xingying was happy in her heart, feeling that she had finally done something for so many people. In the past, it was not delicious for my mother to bring the food to me at home, but I didn't think that there were so many people who had no land, no food, ate grass roots, and gnawed tree bark? If my mother saw that she was leading a group of people to carry out land reform, I am afraid that she would be so surprised that she couldn't stop talking. Thinking about the changes after joining the Red Army, and then thinking about his tall and heroic figure and wise smile, Tang Xingying was stupid.

The other three landlords in the village did not have any great evil, Tang Xingying and they struck while the iron was hot, went to the door to do work, and asked them to respond to the land reform policy. When the three landlords saw that the smiling tiger had been arrested and their grain and property had been confiscated and divided, they knew that their arms could not twist their thighs, so they left the land that their families could cultivate and donated the surplus land and grain.

Seeing that such great results had been achieved, Tang Xingying sent Wu Shengzhi and Ergen to report to the district on the one hand, and organized peasant associations and militia teams to measure the land and prepare for the next step of dividing land, livestock, and floating wealth.

Like Huangsi Village, at this time, from Hanzhong to northern Shaanxi, from Baoji to Weinan, except for Ankang and Shangluo, the spring tide of land reform is surging everywhere. The peasants who had turned over were beaming, dividing the land and grain during the day and studying in the literacy classes organized by the work team at night.

This spring belongs to Shaanxi, to the Shaanxi peasants who have turned over, to the [***] who brought all this and to the great workers' and peasants' Red Army he led.

Zhang Qun set out from Taiyuan, went all the way south, passed through Jinzhong, went to Linfen, crossed Houma, crossed the Yellow River in Hejin, and arrived at Hancheng in Shaanxi on the morning of February 28.

As soon as he stepped on the land of Shaanxi, Zhang Qun felt a strong sense of spring. However, this spring is not only tender and green, but also the smiling faces of those simple and honest Shaanxi farmers. Zhang Qun knew that these smiling faces were not for him to see, but from the heart of the excitement that could not be suppressed.

In Hancheng, Zhang Qun first sent a telegram to the [***] Central Committee, explaining that as the head of the negotiation team on the Kuomintang side of the KMT-CPC negotiations, he had come as promised, had arrived in Hancheng, Shaanxi, and was rushing to Xi'an. Then he went to pay tribute to Sima Qianling.

Before Sima Qianling, he met the land reform team leading the peasants to measure the land and divide the land.

Zhang Qun, dressed in civilian clothes, stopped a peasant and asked them what they were doing, and the peasant happily said that the Red Army had given them land for their old wealth.

Zhang Qun asked him if he knew that such a division of people's land was a kind of robbery, which violated the decree of the Republic of China, and he would be investigated if [***] came in the future.

The peasant glanced at Zhang Qun, his eyes were full of disdain, and he said happily: "I look at you like a scholar, but I didn't expect that you also lack roots in your brain." The Red Army gave the land of the old rich to the poor so that the poor could live. You go to the granary of the old rich man's house and take a look, the grain there is moldy, but the poor people are starving to death on the ground of this Korean city. You say that the land that divides the old wealth is a robbery, I think you are running a train with a mouth, pure nonsense. Isn't it a robbery if the old rich force the poor to live? Russia doesn't know what the decree of the Republic of China is, Russia only knows that the decree of the Red Army is the decree of the poor, and as long as Russia listens to the decree of the Red Army, the villagers will say that Russia is a good person. [***], I was beaten by the Red Army a long time ago. A few years ago, how many people starved to death in Shaanxi, the bark and bark were all eaten, and I didn't see any [***] to help the Russians. Now that the Red Army has given Russia food and land, you say that [***] is going to pursue Russia. Russia tells you that Russia is not afraid! If they dare to come, hehe, when Russia has eaten enough, Russia will go to the Red Army and beat him. It may not be that a Russian hoe will not be able to kill people! ”

Zhang Qun walked away in a gloomy manner, thinking about the peasant's words all the way, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, if this continued, wouldn't this Shaanxi become the second Jiangxi bandit area? The difference is that Shaanxi has a lot more territory than Jiangxi bandits, and there are many more people. If you really want to let [***] go on like this, wouldn't it be that when [***] encircled and suppressed, [***] called for it, the mountains and fields were full of armed croppers, waving their heads, hoes and [***] doing? People's hearts are the same, who wants to let the land that has just arrived let [***] take it back and hand it over to the landlord! If it really comes to that time, [***] will not have to fight, because [***] is not fighting [***], but fighting with the entire Shaanxi peasants, not to say that it cannot be won, even if it is won, what can it do, you can't kill the Shaanxi people, right?

In the evening, Zhang Qun stayed in Hancheng County.

Unlike Zhang Qun's imagination, this Hancheng county is not at all as quiet as it has just experienced war.

After eating, the Red Army cadres who received him accompanied him around the streets of Hancheng and looked at this small remote county town.

Zhang Qun was a caring person, so that the Red Army cadres did not have to follow, and he and his entourage wanted to walk freely. The Red Army cadre was not reluctant, told his entourage to pay attention to safety, and went back to the county government axe.

Zhang Qun went to a shop, talked to the boss for a few words, and learned that the Red Army did not seize all the goods in the scarce places as he imagined, but bought and sold them openly to protect the industrialists and merchants. In the words of the boss, the military discipline of the 17th Route Army was good, and the Red Army was better than them. In particular, the political axe cadres of the Red Army were much stronger than the original political axes, had a kind attitude, and never bullied people.

Zhang Qun asked the boss if he knew about the land reform carried out by the Red Army. The boss said yes, okay!

Zhang Qun said: "To carry out land reform is to distribute the landlord's land to the landless. Will the landlord be willing? As soon as they resisted, wouldn't the Red Army want to kill them? Must have killed a lot of people, right? ”

The boss looked at Zhang Qun in surprise: "Mr. is from out of town, right?" If you don't understand the situation, don't talk nonsense. The Red Army's teams went door-to-door to mobilize the landlords, let them keep enough land for their families to live on and can plant, and then let them voluntarily donate their land and food. There were a few bullies who had killed people, and the Red Army arrested them, saying that they were going to be handed over to the political axe organization for public trial. So far, only two bullies have been tried in Hancheng County and shot, and the common people have applauded the Red Army and finally avenged them. As for the ordinary landlords, none of them were killed. ”

Zhang Qun was very surprised, so he said: "As soon as the Red Army is mobilized, the landlord will obediently hand over the land?" There are no such stupid people in the world, right? ”

The boss said, "How can you, who would be so willing to give up their land to others!" The point is that the situation is stronger than people, and it is not okay to disagree. The poor have united, and they would rather open up land than rent the landlord's land. The policy of the Red Army was that all mountains and forests should be taken under the ownership of the political axe, and that they should not be cut down at will, and that the planting of trees and forests should be encouraged. The wasteland is treated as ownerless land, and whoever opens the wasteland belongs to whomever it is, and the political axe provides the seeds free of charge. You know, in the past few years of the great disaster in Shaanxi, there were many people who starved to death, and there were many people who abandoned good land. There is wasteland everywhere, and you can plant it at any time. If the landlord does not agree to divide the land, his land will be abandoned. Do you think he doesn't agree? Besides, it's good to take the initiative, at least you can keep your family's money, and you can be decent. If you resolutely refuse to pay, it will be a fight against land reform and sabotage, and the quality of the surname will be different. ”

Zhang Qun said "oh" and left the store and returned to his residence.

Lying on the bed, Zhang Qun couldn't sleep, couldn't help but get up, and wrote in his notebook: "Looking at the policy of the Communist Party today, it seems that it is very different from what it has said in the past, it is less violent and extreme, and it is more acceptable to people. Moreover, some policies are far-sighted, such as the protection of mountains and forests, which are entirely for the sake of the big picture and future generations. Looking at what the Communist Party is saying to be doing today, it is like the style of a big party vying for power. Compared with our party's compatriots who are vying for power and profit, and who are corrupt and degenerate, the communist party is obviously more acceptable to the common people. The future of our party's policy of suppressing bandits is worrisome. After writing, he sighed before going to bed to rest.

At this time, Liu Yimin was receiving Liu Zhidan at the headquarters of the Red Seventh Army.

has been in the Red Army for a long time, and he has seen more heroes and martyrs, and Liu Yimin is no longer the kind of person who was excited when he heard his name when he first crossed. At this moment, he was listening to Liu Zhidan's briefing on the situation of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi.

Liu Zhidan went to Xi'an yesterday and had already met with the central leaders, and after reporting on his work, he asked him to come to see Liu Yimin, and said that when the next battle was taken, the Red Army in northern Shaanxi would be under the command of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region and the Red Seventh Army Corps. After the battle is completed, the whole army will be reorganized, and the central authorities will determine the number of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi according to the reorganization plan.

After Liu Zhidan met Liu Yimin, he found out that the commander of the Shaanxi Military Region was so young, but fortunately, Liu Zhidan was not very old and was a comrade-in-arms, and the two of them quickly talked enthusiastically.

Listening to Liu Zhidan's introduction that the Red Army in northern Shaanxi now has two armies, 26 and 27, with 5,000 people, and has liberated six county towns, Liu Yimin thought to himself, the Red Army in northern Shaanxi was developed and strengthened in the spring of 35 years in history, and there should not be so many people at this time, it is estimated that the Central Red Army entered Shaanxi, the forces of the 17th Route Army were eradicated, and the Red Army in northern Shaanxi has developed.

Liu Yimin thought that the Red Army in northern Shaanxi was under the leadership of the former Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee, and the internal struggle had always been very fierce, and in order to fight in the next step, it was necessary to have a clear commander in terms of organization. said to Liu Zhidan: "Lao Liu, the people of northern Shaanxi regard you as the backbone, call you Lao Liu, and I also call you Lao Liu." In this way, in order to meet the needs of the next operation, after you go back, the 26th and 27th armies will be reorganized together and temporarily organized into the Red 27th Army, with you as the commander and political commissar. Last time, the Dusan Division has already given you a radio station, and you will bring another one when you leave. If you need anything else, you can solve it if you mention it. ”

Liu Zhidan said: "Commander, it's not appropriate for this army commander and political commissar to let me do it alone, do you consider appointing another political commissar?" ”

Liu Yimin said: "The war is imminent, unified command is the most important, don't want mother-in-law, I know a little bit about your situation, this is for work." As for the other leaders of the 27th Army, you will study it with your comrades after you go back and report it to the military region for approval. This is temporary, and when Chiang Kai-shek's encirclement and suppression are repulsed, the central authorities will certainly unify and reorganize the troops, and when the time comes, they will carry out the orders of the central authorities. ”

Liu Zhidan said: "Since the commander trusts me so much, I will not shirk it." It's just that we are very short of weapons and ammunition, and compared with the troops of the Seventh Legion, even your readers are not comparable. Please add a little bit to the commander. ”

Liu Yimin said directly: "How much?" ”

Liu Zhidan gritted his teeth: "500 rifles, 10 light machine guns." 30 rounds per gun for rifles and 200 rounds per shot for machine guns. ”

Liu Yimin smiled, opened his mouth and called Xiao Tang, and when he shouted, he remembered that Tang Xingying was carrying out land reform, so he called the guard Huang Wenhu to invite Political Commissar Luo, Director Cai, Chief of Staff Zeng and Commander Wu to come over.

After several people came, Liu Yimin made an introduction. After greeting several people after shaking hands, Liu Yimin said that in order to unify the command of the operation, Comrade Liu Zhidan was responsible for reorganizing the 26th and 27th Red Army in northern Shaanxi into the Red 27th Army, with Liu Zhidan as the commander and political commissar, and Director Cai drafting the order in the name of the military region and handing it over to Comrade Liu Zhidan to bring back. Then he told Wu Zheng to equip the Red 27th Army with another radio station, and supplemented 5 60 mortars, 5 heavy machine guns, 20 light machine guns, and 1,500 rifles. Mortars are equipped with 30 rounds per gun, machine guns are issued at 1,000 rounds per gun, and rifles are issued with 50 rounds per ammunition.

As soon as Liu Yimin finished speaking, Liu Zhidan jumped up excitedly and saluted Liu Yimin: "Commander, thank you so much." It's too much, it's too much, we can't afford it! ”

Liu Yimin said seriously: "You and your comrades have become popular in northern Shaanxi, and there have been several ups and downs, and facts have proved that you and your comrades-in-arms are on the right path." This weapon is nothing, and when we finish this battle, we will let you pick whatever you want, and you won't be able to close your mouth when you smile. ”

Liu Zhidan said: "Please ask the commander to issue a combat mission, and we promise to complete it!" ”

Liu Yimin said: "The combat mission will not be issued for the time being, and after you go back, you must pay close attention to training the troops and also engage in cantonment reclamation." The place in northern Shaanxi is poor, and when the army grows stronger, there is no food to eat, and it is not enough to just rely on fighting local tyrants, so we must take the opportunity of land reform to organize the masses to develop production, and we will not panic when we have food in our hands. The reason why the masses support us now is because we fight local tyrants and divide the land. However, this does not mean that the masses will always support us in the future, and only by developing production and making continuous progress in the people's lives can the people always support us and the base areas be consolidated and strengthened. ”

Liu Zhidan was confused when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Commander, how can I look at you not like a commander, but like a politician and economist." Don't worry, I will convey your instructions to every comrade and conscientiously implement them. ”

Liu Yimin smiled: "If there is a problem found in the implementation, it must be corrected in time." I still say that practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Whatever we do, we have to stand the test of practice. Like you, Lao Liu, practice has proved that it is correct to persist in armed struggle in northern Shaanxi, so we must vigorously support it. ”

Several people were savoring Liu Yimin's words and were silent. Liu Zhidan, in particular, thought of the ups and downs in the development of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, and thought to himself, if he could have met the commander earlier, how many detours would he have taken! Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and after returning to China, we must let the comrades keep this sentence in their hearts and never forget it.

Luo Ronghuan thought that as long as the commander of the army did not make mistakes, he would definitely be a top talent, political, economic, and military. It seems that in the future, we still have to take a good look at him, and we can't let him be interfered by other factors, otherwise, the loss will be great.

Liu Yimin saw that everyone didn't speak, so he smiled and said, "It seems that you haven't eaten yet, right?" Let's go, Lao Liu, let's go to dinner together, happy today, I invite you to drink the best wine. ”

A few people talked and laughed and went to the restaurant.

sent Liu Zhidan away, and Zhou Yi's battle plan was also reported. This guy really has two hits, and the battle plan is very tightly formulated. Liu Yimin was very satisfied with this, and called Zeng Zhongsheng and asked him to revise Zhou Yi's battle plan and draw up a secret troop transfer route and timetable in accordance with the campaign plan he reported to the central authorities. Zeng Zhongsheng arranged for Luo Yan to lead a reconnaissance battalion to be dispatched immediately, and the troops were divided into three routes to conduct a comprehensive latent reconnaissance of the Majia Army on the Shaanxi-Gansu border, the Central Army on the Tongguan line, and the Jin Sui Army on the other side of the river.

After explaining, Liu Yimin said to Zeng Zhongsheng: "Chief of Staff, this campaign plan and the secret transfer of troops are the top secret of our legion, and only the two of us know about it. If the secret is leaked, the consequences are unimaginable. As soon as you are ready, report to me and wait for my orders. ”

After Zeng Zhongsheng left, Liu Yimin stopped doing anything, and devoted himself to urging the General Staff Office and the Political Department to organize large-scale military training and reclamation.

On the afternoon of March 5, Zhang Qun, who had been in the dust all the way, finally arrived in Xi'an.

That night, Chen Cheng and Zhang Zhizhong also rushed to Xi'an from Luoyang to join Zhang Qun and Shao Lizi, and the Kuomintang negotiation team was finally assembled.

After Zhou Enlai and [***], who came to visit him, left, Zhang Qun said to Shao Lizi: "Brother Zhonghui, you have suffered grievances here, and you are very worried. Now that you're fine, I can finally rest assured. ”

Shao Lizi said: "Thank you for your concern, thank you comrades for your concern." Actually, I don't have anything here, the Red Army is very polite, they take good care of me, and they don't suffer much. ”

Chen Cheng anxiously asked about Liu Yimin's situation, and said: "Chairman Shao, this Zhou Enlai is an old acquaintance, although he was not familiar with him in the past, he already knew the name. Only these two representatives, Liu Yimin and Luo Ronghuan, are very unfamiliar. I don't know if you've been in contact with them here, do you know their situation? ”

Shao Lizi said: "I haven't seen Liu Yimin, but Luo Ronghuan has dealt with him many times. One of them was the commander of the Red Seventh Army Corps and the commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region, and the other was a political commissar. Liu Yimin's details are not clear, this Luo Ronghuan, in my observation, is indeed a rare talent, calm and dignified, graceful and generous, and has the talent of a general. ”

Chen Cheng asked again: "Chairman Shao, then according to your observation, is this Red Seventh Army in charge of Liu Yimin or Luo Ronghuan?" ”

Shao Lizi was the secretary general of the Whampoa Military Academy, the secretary general of the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army, and the secretary general of the Army, Navy and Air Command, and Chen Cheng believed in his vision very much, so he asked this question.

Shao Lizi shook his head: "I don't know." This [***] unit is supposed to have the power of the political commissar to decide, but I don't feel like this force is like that. It is said that Luo Ronghuan was transferred to the Seventh Army after Liu Yimin was assassinated in Chengdu, and it turned out that Liu Yimin was the commander and political commissar of the Army. ”

Chen Cheng saw that Shao Lizi didn't understand Liu Yimin, so he sighed and said, "I'm looking forward to meeting Liu Yimin!" ”

Several people understood Chen Cheng's mood, looked at him sympathetically, and went to rest.

(To be continued)
