Chapter 2, Section 13: The devil wants her to die, and God doesn't agree
Thirteen: The devil wants her to die, and God doesn't agree
The people who stayed in Zhang's mansion, except for the old housekeeper, all stayed voluntarily, and they couldn't leave because of the situation at home.
They were very aware of the brutality of their army, and staying in Nanjing was almost equal to death. Now that they've decided to stay, they're no longer fantasizing.
They are not afraid of the enemy, they are not afraid of death, they have strong convictions and unyielding will. They and their families had already discussed how to face the devil.
They are the sacred and invincible people of Nanjing. It is the foundation of the 5,000-year-old edifice of ancient China, and it is the iron wall of China to resist foreign powers.
It is impossible for any external force to destroy them. It is said that this army can occupy Nanjing, but it will never be able to conquer Nanjing. Nanjing will live forever in blood and fire.
Xizi praised the old butler in front of Wang Mingming, and they were completely out of their hearts, true feelings. His voice was not high, and every word was sonorous and powerful.
The fighting spirit of the old housekeeper who was not afraid of the enemy inspired Wang Mingming, and she realized that she was not alone in Nanjing, and she was not alone.
The two cars in Zhang's house, the one that Wang Mingming was sitting in was blown up, and Xizi went to see it, it was not worth repairing, so I didn't want it. Another Chekiko sold it.
Xizi will take her subordinates across the river early tomorrow morning and take the train from Pukou Railway Station. He called Wang Mingming's father, but he didn't tell him about Wang Mingming's injury, he was afraid that they would be in a hurry.
Xizi told him that Wang Mingming had gone to Sichuan with them. Please rest assured. Kiko hoped that he would leave Nanjing earlier.
Wang Mingming's father said that he was ready to go, and the boat was also taken care of, so Xizi could rest assured.
Xizi said to Wang Mingming: "After your health is better, do you want to talk to them on the phone, do you want to go and see them, you decide." I saw that they were also early at that time. ”
Wang Mingming lay on the hospital bed and said quietly: "Thank you, you have thought of everything." You can go with confidence. Don't worry about me. Call me when you get there. It's better to write a letter.
"I'll go to you when I'm well, and if the situation changes, I'll take the old housekeeper and them to live strongly. They protect me, and I am accountable to them. ”
Kiko said, "I'm relieved that you can say that, and I'll call you to report my safety as soon as I get there." I'm also going to see a friend who will be with me tomorrow. The appointed time is almost up.
"There are not many people in his family and he has never been far away, so he is very afraid, so he wants to be my companion and take care of each other.
"I won't accompany you anymore, I'm leaving, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and when you are well, you can decide whether you can go to Yucheng according to the situation, and it is best to go."
"Hey, I didn't expect to live in exile again. That's when I started wandering. Kiko shook her head bitterly.
"This hateful little book makes our country not like a country, and our home is not like a home. Our homes are gone. The comfortable life is gone. The cause for which I fought is gone.
"All we have now is resistance! If we don't drive them out of China for a day, we won't have a day of peace.
"I don't worry about my mother, my mother's age is older. When I got there, I was not used to the water and soil, and I was not used to life, and I was afraid that she would not be able to stand it.
"I don't worry about you, you stayed in Nanjing, helpless, and said that this army is coming to Nanjing. What will you do once Nanjing falls?
"No matter how hard and tired I am over there, after all, there is no army. In the future, you will face a brutal soldier, living in blood and darkness all the time, I don't worry. ”
Xizi's voice was a little trembling, he didn't want to cry in front of Wang Mingming, and hurriedly hung his head and left.
Wang Mingming looked at his back and slowly left the ward. She could see that Kiko's calm state of mind just now was pretending. In fact, his heart is very bitter.
No one wants to leave Nanjing, which is their home after all. This sturdy man used to be so strong, but now his spirit has collapsed in the face of the disaster of war.
Wang Mingming can get up. The old housekeeper took Liu's mother to take her home from the hospital, and she saw all the people standing in front of the gate in the car and clapping their hands to greet her.
Passers-by also stood down to watch the excitement. Several women from neighboring families came with their children, and they wanted to congratulate Wang Mingming and hear the good news that Wang Mingming had brought.
Wang Mingming was very happy to see everyone's concern like this. She asked the old butler, "You arranged it." ”
The old housekeeper said, "Third aunt, everyone knows that your body has recovered. They are all happy for their masters. They know you've been discharged from the hospital today, and they're all coming to congratulate you. ”
Wang Mingming got out of the car and said to them, "Thank you." I had a minor injury, spent a few days in the hospital and was already healed. Discharged from the hospital today.
"The doctor told you not to go far away, the injury will recur when the carriage and horse are tired, and you should pay attention to rest and not be tired. I would say that I am in good physical condition. Please rest assured. ”
"Little Ben's plane wanted my life, and they dropped bombs on the car I was sitting in to kill me. God didn't agree, and he told the enemy plane to drop the bomb off.
Everyone applauded happily.
Wang Mingming turned around and greeted his neighbors. She said, "Thank you for coming to see me, you haven't left Nanjing yet. It was only after I was injured that I saw that Nanjing was already a dangerous city and could no longer live.
"In two days, I'll be better and I'll have to go. Those of you who can go, go. I wish you all a safe journey. ”
A neighbor said, "Third aunt, we are happy for you that your health is getting better so quickly." We're ready to go. I'll leave tomorrow. Thank you for your concern,"
Wang Mingming said: "This is the best." You remember that it's good to leave early, it's late, the devils are surrounded by Nanjing, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave. Once again, I thank you for coming to visit me. ”
The neighbor said, "Third aunt, your body is still very weak, go back and rest." ”
Wang Mingming nodded goodbye to them. Mother Liu helped her step into the gate, and she saw that this lively courtyard suddenly became quiet.
The home is still there, and the relatives are gone. She faced the northwest wind, and there were bursts of desolation in her heart. Isn't the old butler holding such a welcome ceremony just to comfort her?
She walked aimlessly in the yard when she saw the stone, where Kiko laid the money for her future living.
Tears welled up at the thought of her mother-in-law and the care of her relatives for her. She slowly wiped it off with her handkerchief. Suddenly, she heard the rumbling sound of cannon in the distance. She shivered.
Ever since she was wounded, she had felt the power of war. She didn't want to die, she didn't want to be hurt again. She wants to live, live completely. Live to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
Mother Liu hurriedly helped her back to her room, made tea for her and stood aside. She said, "Go ahead." I'm tired and want to rest alone.
"Call me at dinner. I still eat in the dining room. Liu's mother agreed and withdrew.
The next morning she woke up early, as usual. She felt in good spirits. It's in your own home, and home is good. Even the illness heals quickly.
She remembered that in the hospital, yesterday, her spirit had collapsed. If you stay in the hospital any longer, you will have to collapse if you don't die.
My mother-in-law is no longer at home, so she doesn't need to get up early to ask her mother-in-law for a button. Kiko is also gone, and she doesn't have to get up early to help Kiko. She stretched and wanted to lie down a little longer.
She heard the old butler calling her softly outside the door, she turned over in surprise, and she waited for the old butler to shout again before she lazily asked, "Old butler, what's the matter?" ”
The old housekeeper said, "Third aunt, how are you doing, the guys are waiting for you to lecture." You'd better come and give the big guy a few words of encouragement. ”
She suddenly understood that this family was now in charge of her, and her mother-in-law and eldest sister were no longer at home, so she had to stand out. It is her responsibility to carry them through the difficult days ahead.
She can excuse herself from being in good health. But without the house rules, it will become a plate of loose sand after a long time, and it will be too late to rectify it at that time.
