In the hospital ward of the Whampoa Military Academy, Song Xilian, who had a circle of white gauze wrapped around his head, struggled to prop himself up, took the branch crutches at the head of the bed in the humming and moaning of the wounded and sick in front and back, and slowly got out of bed and slowly moved towards the door with the crutches.

On the same day, due to the huge impact force thrown out of the carriage, he thought that he would definitely die, he was fortunate to be buffered by the branch and escaped, but the huge momentum and a strong fall made his head break and bleed, and he was in a coma for two days and three nights, his right ankle was severely sprained, and he was already in a severe coma when the ambulance team arrived, but the brand-new shell gun was still firmly held in his hand, and no one could break his fingers and take it down, as if it was on his hand, and finally sent to the dock doctor for an emergency injection, and his hands were released.

The first thing he said when he woke up was to ask where Xiao Yi was? None of the doctors and nurses knew Xiao Yi, and it was very terrifying to see Song Xilian's eyes red, so he hurriedly found He Jinhan, who was monitoring the training of new students. He Jinhan didn't know that An Yi was the one who drove that day, and was taken aback after listening to Song Xilian's statement, and immediately comforted Song Xilian and said that maybe he was too busy and messy at that time, maybe Xiao Yi had already gone back to work at this time. After calming down Song Xilian, He Jinhan told him that Huang Jie, Chen Geng and others were leading troops to carry out tasks in the surrounding areas of Guangzhou City, and he notified them to look for them as soon as possible, and reported to the Political Department as soon as he went out later.

Song Xilian grabbed the corner of He Jinhan's clothes and said sadly: Xiao Yi drove into the enemy formation for our tough battle and didn't even care about his life, but we still don't know his life or death, is it worthy of our conscience? If you don't get Xiao Yi back for me, don't talk to me anymore.

He Jinhan trotted to the Political Department for a while to report, and Shao Lizi, director of the Political Department of the Military Academy, Fang Dingying, director of education, Lu Chunren, chief of the propaganda section, and others were taken aback after hearing this, and they all said that this was not the person that the principal and General Gallen had twice ordered to find? It's just that when the war was urgent, the personnel of the Political Department couldn't find anyone and had to follow the main force to continue to advance, and after entering Guangzhou, they didn't know the name of the driving hero, let alone where it was sacred, so they delayed it, and now they regret it, why didn't they remember to find where the car was.

Fang Dingying immediately ordered, He Jinhan took two staff members, immediately crossed the river into the city to look for An Yi, and immediately sent it to the central party headquarters in the city after finding it, President Jiang, Director Zhou, the head of the advisory group Gallen, Borodin, and the chief instructor He Yingqin and others all held a meeting there, and then called the school, so as to arrange for An Yi, a revolutionary young man who had made outstanding contributions, to meet and discuss with teachers and students, and to participate in the commendation meeting three days later.

He Jinhan took people to take the steamboat specially sent by the colonel's headquarters, went straight to the Tianzi Wharf, and after going ashore, ran through the procession of celebration and parade to the fortune-telling booth on the edge of the silk trading house to take a look, the old road did not even have a shadow, and the fortune-telling table of the eight immortals and the bright yellow flag were nowhere to be found.

He Jinhan thought about it, and immediately took people to the "Taichang" trading house, and was in a daze in front of the closed door for a moment, and then there was a bang, and a middle-aged man in his thirties opened the door a crack, and saw three sweaty soldiers looking for An Yi, and hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, An Yi was fired by the shopkeeper three days ago, and I don't know where I live, I heard that it is the Qinjia compound on Chaoxing Street, Renji Road." ”

Seeing that the staff wanted to close the door, He Jinhan, who was thoughtful, quickly stretched out a foot and stepped on the side of the door, and asked with a pleasant face: "Can you tell me the reason for dismissing An Yi?" ”

The middle-aged man hesitated and didn't want to answer, but when he saw that He Jinhan, who had repeatedly asked, was not malicious and kind, he told him the reason:

"Xiao Yi is a benevolent and righteous person! Putting aside his ability for the time being, let's just say that the Dian army requisitioned our trucks not to set fire to the business house, the average person is afraid to avoid it, he is good, after getting the news, he immediately rushed over from home, good words to avoid the catastrophe of the business house, and drove alone with the fierce Dian army, a trip is more than a month, no night to pull goods to endure all the hardships, our colleagues occasionally see him on the street by the army escort drive by, the whole person is black and thin, worried! But who of us dares to mess with those warlords? Just three days ago in the evening, after the revolutionary army entered the city of Guangzhou, Xiao Yi also came back safely, but the shopkeeper Chen said that Xiao Yi did not protect the trucks of the trading house, so that the valuable trucks bought back by thousands of oceans were pierced by bullets through hundreds of holes, the front compartment was seriously deformed and completely scrapped, and people used nine cows to pull the broken car back and lose the face of the trading house, such a big mistake can never be forgiven, and Xiao Yi was fired on the spot, not thinking that Xiao Yi went at that time to save the industry of the commercial bank and save everyone's lives. Alas...... We feel angry in our hearts and feel very unfair, but people are under the roof, and no one can do anything! ”

After He Jinhan thanked him, he immediately rushed to the Qinjia compound on Chaoxing Street, and asked all the people who said that An Yi had moved away for a long time, and even Lao Dao, Dongzi and the mother and son who washed people's clothes also moved away one after another, as for where to move, no one asked, and they didn't say.

In this way, He Jinhan took people to walk the streets and alleys for three consecutive days, and he couldn't find An Yi everywhere, so he had no choice but to tell Song Xilian on the hospital bed about it.

Song Xilian thought about it carefully, and sighed bitterly: "It must be Xiao Yi who saw that none of us took care of him, so he hid and didn't want to meet again, let's be sorry for him!" If it weren't for Xiao Yi, how could we have conquered the Longyan Cave so smoothly and swept the Skinny Dog Ridge? His deeds are greater than any of us! ”

A few days later, President Chiang, who had been tormented by the intriguing upper echelons of the party and the generals of various factions, returned to the Whampoa Military Academy, convened a meeting of the Political Department, the Coaching Department, and the Student Corps overnight, and after conveying the latest spirit of the Party Department, he ordered the responsible persons of the Military Federation and the six outstanding representatives of the first phase to attend the meeting, and the first item on the agenda was to listen to He Jinhan's report on finding An Yi.

In a sigh of regret, Principal Jiang turned to Chen Geng and He Jinhan rather unhappily: "You two and Huang Jie and Song Xilian know best about An Yi's contribution, why didn't you find anyone for five consecutive days after receiving the task from the school headquarters?" Don't you know the importance of such an example in boosting morale and boosting the hearts of the people? ”

Huang Jie stood up and replied loudly: "Report to the principal, we all know that An Yi's outstanding contribution in this war of rebellion is that he rushed into the enemy position with the revolutionary consciousness of an ordinary young man, disrupted the enemy's position in one fell swoop, and created a valuable opportunity for our army's attack......

"Wait! Huang Jie, I want to explain here. ”

Wang Bailing, the head of the Second Regiment of the School Military Teaching Regiment and the head of education of the Huangpu Military Academy, interrupted Huang Jie's words loudly: "Although the hand-drawn map you brought back before the battle of Longyan Cave started is very valuable, it can only play a role in confirmation and reference, we have already obtained all the troop arrangements of the Gui Army of the Yunnan Army, which is more detailed and comprehensive than the so-called distribution map made by An Yi that you brought back, therefore, this merit cannot be recorded on An Yi's head, and don't talk about it again in the future, otherwise it will damage the image of our revolutionary army. People who don't know the inside story still think that our military does not even have the most basic capabilities, and the possible impact is very bad. Of course, An Yi's merits and heroic performance are obvious to all, and we must vigorously commend and publicize this point, and erect him as a model for a revolutionary youth, if he is willing to become a member of our revolutionary army, it will be even better, understand? ”

"Yes!"

Huang Jie replied loudly, and then sat down slowly.

Wang Bailing nodded with satisfaction, He Yingqin beside him sighed slightly, picked up the teacup and drank tea silently, thinking that such clever words made Se disregard the facts to erase the merits of a progressive youth, I He Yingqin thought that he couldn't do it, although the starting point of doing this was to maintain the image of the army and the reputation of the revolutionary army.

Chiang Kai-shek was apologetic in his heart, and his tone was much more accommodating: "Jiang Xianyun, I see that you have not spoken, and there is a thoughtful look in your eyes, you must have your own opinion on An Yi, right?" ”

"Report to the principal, An Yi is a person, almost half of our students know him, the last time we took back the school two hundred beef pies were given by An Yi, and all the students here get along well with An Yi, including myself, we all think that this person is kind-hearted, smart and diligent, especially he has superb mechanical repair skills, can skillfully drive and repair cars, is strong and loyal, is a rare talent."

Jiang Xianyun took this opportunity to praise An Yi, obviously having his own plans, but except for He Jinhan and Zeng Guangqing, everyone else felt that he was very correct and didn't think too much.

Director Zhou smiled kindly: "Please sit down, listening to what you say will arouse the love of the principal and all the officials here, haha!" I think that your top priority is to find a way to find this An Yi as soon as possible, and now, even I want to meet him, not to mention so many officials who love their lives and take it as their responsibility to cultivate a new revolutionary force? Keep up the good work! ”

"Yes! We must do everything we can to find An Yi as soon as possible. Jiang Xianyun replied loudly.

At the same time, in the durian orchard at No. 2 Puji Street, An Yi held a thick thread-bound book with a sad face and read aloud: "...... In the spring, Song Gong and Wei Hou met Yu Chui, and in March, Zheng Boshi came back to ...... Francium. Geng Yin, I'm in the ......"

"Stop! Can't remember the word 'francium' after reading it so many times? What are you putting your mind to? ”

Lao Dao coughed a few times, sat up slowly on the rocking chair, took the tea handed by Ermao and drank a small sip.

An Yi put down the thread-bound book painfully: "Old Dao, it's okay if you're not sick, as soon as you're sick, you force me to read this "Spring and Autumn" without punctuation marks every day, and let me write and practice Xiaokai during the day, even if I want to memorize "The Art of War", I admit that it is useful for business, but you are too perverted, right?" What do you force me to read "Spring and Autumn"? Is this what a human does? You said that you cough like this and don't lie down, and do something harmful to others and yourself, why bother? Why bother? ”

Lao Dao was not angry, but smiled slightly: "The last two sentences are well said and the words are accurate, which fully shows that after this period of hard reading, you have made progress!" Read here today, tomorrow morning after breakfast, you can recite to me the "Marching Chapter" of "The Art of War", remember, if you make a mistake, the old rule, copy it ten times...... Ermao, help me bring the teacup into the room, sleep with me tonight, and I'll tell you the story of yesterday. ”

"Great!"

Ermao rushed into the west room with the old Tao's teacup, and An Yi, who was tortured by the old way, threw his head directly on the table of the Eight Immortals, making a loud "bang".

Dongzi, who was standing at the door of the room on the east side of the front hall, covered her mouth, closed the door gently, threw herself on Chuang and covered her head with a blanket and laughed......
