Sixteen: Leave a piece of fragrance

Wang Mingming burst into tears of excitement when he saw the volunteer team. She envied them and loved them. In the current situation where the Japanese army is besieging the city on three sides, the spirit of volunteers is even more valuable.

If she is still in school, she will definitely volunteer if she is not married. She will contribute to the anti-Japanese struggle like they did.

She looked at them affectionately until she couldn't see them before turning back. She wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief on the rickshaw,

The rickshaw driver took Wang Mingming to several clothing stores she was familiar with, but all of them were closed. Apparently the boss went into exile with his family.

Taiping Road has been blown to a mess, go to the shopping mall in Xinjiekou, the road to there is too far, and it is not clear whether you can buy it after you go.

Wang Mingming couldn't remember where to buy clothes for a while. She was reluctant to go back like this.

The rickshaw driver saw that she was in trouble, and said timidly: "Miss, I, I see that you are going to buy clothes, I know that there is a clothing store that is still open." ”

Wang Ming looked at him in disbelief, she shook her head and said, "Ordinary stores don't go." ”

The rickshaw driver said: "The owner's family has gone into exile, and he stayed behind to guard his elderly father, who is seriously ill. He sells high-end clothes and is not far from here. ”

He saw that Wang Ming was moved, and said, "You go and see, you will be satisfied, I will take you there." If you go and are not satisfied, I don't need money for this journey. ”

Wang Mingming said: "Go ahead, it's rare that you are so enthusiastic, it doesn't matter if I'm satisfied or dissatisfied when I get there, I'll give you the car money." ”

The car turned a few corners. Wang Mingming got out of the car, and she looked at the door to see that it was selling high-end clothes. She told the coachman to wait for her.

The doors are open. She walked straight into the clothing store and was surprised to see the store full of high-end clothes, there were so many goods at this time.

The boss was very wealthy, wearing a long robe, and when he saw Wang Mingming enter the store, he immediately put down the book he was reading.

He said with a smile on his face: "Miss, please." The arrival of the young lady must bring good luck to the store. He stepped out of the counter.

Wang Mingming glanced at the book he was reading. "Jinling Woman." She was not interested in the book. She continued to look at the clothes with wide-eyed eyes and surprise.

The boss saw that Wang Ming was looking at those clothes in surprise. He guessed what Wang Mingming was thinking, and he smiled and said, "It's strange for Miss to see so many goods here, isn't it?"

"I don't like you, my friends who are doing business like me know that I'm not leaving, and they deliver all the unsold goods to me when they leave.

"I heard that the defense of Nanjing can be fought for two or three months, and they will send the goods here, who knew that the devil soldiers would come to the city so soon.

"I haven't had customers in my store for days. Rich people wear clothes that change every year, and new ones every three years at most. But they were all gone.

"People who don't have money don't need these things. They wore ordinary clothes, and for three years, the old ones were new, and the old ones were mended, and another three years were mended.

"No one buys these goods, and there is no place to hide them. When the devil entered the city, in addition to killing people and setting fires, he also had to rob things. These goods can't be saved.

"Hey, the devil is really here, it's impossible not to let him rob it. What I'm hoping for now is that these goods will save people's lives. What could be more valuable than life?

"Miss, don't talk about this. You see, what clothing you want to buy. I will definitely discount. Sell with giveaway. Package you are satisfied. ”

Wang Mingming said: "I want to buy a coat. ”

The boss said: "Miss is not an ordinary person, she is very rich at a glance, you don't buy an ordinary coat, there are all-wool coats here, good quality, soft and light." Your side please. ”

Wang Mingming looked at the coat, which is indeed a good material. She bought a wool coat and a long scarf of wool fleece.

When the boss sent her to the door of the store, he said with concern: "Miss, I have more words." You are a rich Miss Kuo, it is good to go early. Seeing that Nanjing is about to fall, it is very dangerous for you to stay in Nanjing. ”

Wang Mingming looked at him, wanted to say something, and swallowed back. She sighed, shook her head, and got into the rickshaw. Say, "Go back." ”

The boss couldn't eat through Wang Mingming's clothes at such a time, the devil was already in the city, and he couldn't eat it before she left. Wang Mingming's movements and expressions just now were even more incomprehensible.

Doesn't she know that devils are hateful, and she hasn't heard that devils will slaughter cities. He felt that this young lady was very similar to the heroine in the book, and the Jinling heroine was very mysterious. Don't think you have an answer until you finish the book.

He watched the rickshaw go away suspiciously. What remained in front of him was a piece of fragrance from the young lady.

On the way, Wang Mingming remembered a person, and she wanted to see if she was in exile. The house was at the entrance of the alley in front.

She saw a fruit stand on the side of the road, she stopped the rickshaw and paid for it. As a thank you to the coachman, she gave him another large ticket. The coachman bowed again and again in thanks.

There was still fruit to sell, so she bought a few pounds of apples and walked along the sidewalk. The houses and shops on the side of the road are closed. The streets are deserted.

It's windy. Dry leaves and waste paper rolled through the streets. The streets of Nanjing have never been so bleak. She felt cold, and she put on her newly bought coat and scarf and continued to walk forward.

When she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw that the door of the house was locked. She said to herself, "Ah, gone." Good walk. Go and be safe. I really envy people who can go. ”

The alley in front of Wang Mingming was very deep, and there was no one in the figure. The winter sun shines in the alleys, the roads, walls, roofs, and leaves look gray, and the sky is white but not bright.

Something seems to be hidden here! It's as if something is missing. She suddenly felt an inexplicable loneliness and a faint fear.

She suddenly realized that there was no life here. Death-like silence is welcoming the Grim Reaper. She shivered.

She really wanted to go to her mother-in-law immediately, she didn't want to guard this home, she didn't want to stay in this dangerous city. She looked hard at the empty alley.

It's cold in the alley. Quietly, quietly made her hairy.

She turned around and saw the lifeless street, and on the other side of the street were houses that had been blown down by devils. There are no pedestrians on the street and no cars in sight.

Only then did she notice that Nanjing seemed to be an empty city. Every gate is locked. There are black holes in every window. It's like the end of the world.

She walked towards home with her head down. She thought as she walked, the old housekeeper sent Da Chen to buy a ticket, and she didn't know if she could buy it.

The Japanese planes suddenly whizzed and dropped bombs on her head. Now the planes of the Japanese army are coming, and the air defense sirens no longer work.

Wang was used to bombing, but she still trotted nervously along the wall. She was afraid that the bomb would hurt her, and if she was really injured by an enemy plane, she would not be able to leave Nanjing.

She had to find a safe place to hide from enemy planes as soon as possible. The more she worried, the more something happened, and an enemy plane whizzed over her head. A bomb exploded very close to her.

The collapsed house set off a hot wave of air, which tossed her over, and she rolled on the ground a few times. She was suffocated by the smoke of the bomb, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with her sleeve and gasped.

After a while, the smoke cleared, and she barely sat up. She heard enemy planes roaring overhead. Fearing that planes were strafing her, she stared at the sky with frightened eyes looking for enemy planes.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years, she was afraid of the well rope, and she was very afraid that the enemy plane would hurt her again. She didn't want to see enemy planes, let alone enemy planes to see her.

An aunt hurriedly ran in front of Wang Mingming, she saw Wang Mingming sitting on the ground covered in dust and looking at the sky in panic, she had already run over and ran back.

She bent down and asked Wang Mingming, "Girl, are you hurt?" Wang Ming saw that she was very kind, she shook her head and said, "Auntie, thank you, I am not injured." ”。

The aunt said, "Don't be afraid, girl. Come, and I will help you up. Get up and go home, the Japanese plane hasn't left yet, and it's going to drop bombs.

"You're not far from home, aren't you? If your home is far away, you can hide in my house first. After speaking, the aunt looked at the sky.
