Seven: Encounter

Wang Mingming hired a rickshaw to come to the place where the yellow cat died. Many people are worshipping here, and the burned paper money is scattered in the wind. She chose the roadside closest to the place where the yellow cat died, drew a circle with chalk, and wrote Huang Yujuan in it. She put paper money in the circle and burned paper money for the yellow cat.

Wang Mingming said to the burning paper money: "Yellow cat, my good classmate, I came today to tell you that the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression has been won." Eight years ago, I saw you in a blue cotton coat and carrying a medicine box on your back fighting devils on the battlefield. You are extremely brave as a volunteer, you were wounded and raised a grenade to pounce on the devil's armored car and died with the devil, you are the pride of Nanjing people, and you are a good daughter of Jinling. You are a young pioneer of the resistance and a great youth volunteer.

I can't forget your great feat on the battlefield. I will never forget your friendship, I will never forget your voice and smile, and I will come to worship you at this time of year in the future. ”

Wang Mingming had no wind around him, and the paper money he burned did not fly. Wang Mingming used a branch to pull the paper money and let it burn through.

The deceased was the greatest, and she kowtowed three times to the dying paper money, and she was about to stand up when she noticed a person standing next to her. The man was missing a leg, on crutches, and in shabby clothes. There was a sour smell from her body. She stretched out a bowl to Wang Mingming, a bowl that was missing and cracked. She said: "Good Samaritan, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression has been won, you burn paper money here, and you must have relatives here who have dedicated themselves to the War of Resistance." They died for the war of resistance, they died great, they died a glorious death. You are an honorable man. Nanjing people are proud of you.

"I see that you are dressed as a rich man, and you must have a good heart. I'm also a devil and don't have this leg. For the sake of resistance, it's okay, take pity on me, a disabled person, and give me some money. ”

The Nanjing dialect called Hanako sounds familiar. Regardless of whether her protest is true or not, it is true that she is disabled. Wang Mingming didn't get up again, she knelt on her lap and sympathetically took out a big ticket from her body and put it in the man's bowl, she struggled to stand up.

The man took the ticket and saw Wang Mingming's leg clearly, and she said in surprise: "Oh, good Samaritan, your leg has also been injured, and you have such a hard time standing up." I can't ask for your money. No matter how rich you are, I can't ask for your money. I asked for your money, and my conscience would be troubled. ”

She took the money in the bowl to Wang Mingming. Wang Mingming waved his hand at her, meaning to take it. The man still handed the money to Wang Mingming. Wang Mingming looked at the burned paper money and said, "Take it." Buy a dress for a full meal. The man hesitated for a moment and bowed to her and said, "Thank you, I met a good person." Good people live a long life. I will remember you for the rest of my life. ”

Wang Mingming felt that this person who asked for food was different from others, and she looked at her. She noticed that behind the woman's long loose hair, there were tired eyes on her emaciated and dirty face, which had long since lost their youthful luster after so many hardships, and looked a little demented on closer inspection. It was such an eye that Wang Mingming saw what was buried in his eyes. It was so intimate and so familiar, she lowered her head and asked herself whose eyes it was? She suddenly remembered those eyes, and she was stunned.

The man didn't notice that Wang Mingming was looking at her, she put the money in her palm and looked nervously to both sides, as if someone would snatch her money. She carefully put the money in the pocket of her underwear before slowly grinding it over her body and helping her walk away.

Wang Mingming watched her back and left step by step. Wang Mingming was not so sure. She shook her head, she believed that she had seen it wrong, the yellow cat was dead, and she saw her with her own eyes crawling towards the devil's armored car with a grenade. This person is not her, she must have seen it wrong, she must have thought too much, and she must have had an illusion in her eyes. Or, this person resembles a yellow cat.

She sighed and prepared to leave. She remembered that eight years ago, when she had last seen a yellow cat here, she had seen a cloud of gunsmoke, and she had not seen the yellow cat's body. She suddenly hoped that the yellow cat was not dead, she couldn't help but look at the person who asked for food again, how she hoped that the person who asked for food was the yellow cat.

The man who asked for food walked slowly on crutches. Wang Mingming looked at her carefully from behind, the way she walked, her tall stature, and her thin body was more like a yellow cat. Wang Mingming was puzzled, she couldn't figure out what was going on in front of her. She involuntarily shouted softly, "Yellow cat." ”

This is a noisy street, and Wang Mingming's shouts are drowned out by various sounds. But, perhaps, it was the man's sixth sense that she heard. Her body shook slightly, and she stopped. She didn't turn around, she was waiting, she was judging, she hoped she hadn't heard wrong, that someone was really calling her.

Wang Mingming noticed a slight shock in her body, she realized something, and her heart jumped violently. Her sixth sense told her that the man was a yellow cat. She suddenly had a belief that the yellow cat was not dead. She looked at her intently, and called out softly, "Yellow cat." The man turned sharply. Her thin face was covered with surprise! She looked around with her eyes wide open, looking for the source of the sound.

She saw people hurrying on the road, cars and rickshaws passing in front of her. No one in the world in front of her was paying attention to her. She believed she had heard correctly. She said to herself, "I heard it, it was Akiko's voice." Even though her voice had changed, hoarse and deep, I could still hear her calling me. I believe that Wang Mingming is by my side. ”

She looked up at the distant sky and held out an arm high and said, "God, help me." I heard Akiko's shout, and I knew Akiko was right next to me. Almighty God guided me and let me see her, and now that the war of resistance has been won, I miss her so much. I can't live without her, Amen. ”

Her outstretched hand to the sky slowly fell, and her gaze fell on the good Samaritan who gave her money. She noticed that the head and face of the good Samaritan were tightly wrapped, and her exposed eyes looked at her in surprise. The yellow cat looked at this person carefully, she was like Mingzi, and she was not the Mingzi in her heart, but only this person was paying attention to her in the streets.

She lowered her head and thought about it, she believed that this was God's guidance, she walked over to Wang Mingming step by step on crutches, she said: "Good Samaritan, God guided me to your side, may I ask, do you know the yellow cat?" She saw Wang Mingming nodding. She asked her in surprise, "You were calling the yellow cat just now." Who are you! Why is it dressed like this. ”

The yellow cat's questioning made Wang Mingming confirm that she was the yellow cat. She stepped forward and said slowly in a low, hoarse voice, "Yellow cat." After eight years of not seeing each other, you have changed, and you have become so strange that we don't know each other. It's not time that has changed us, it's war. It was this evil war of aggression against China launched by the devils that changed us.

"Although we live in the same city, the war has widened the distance between us, and we are so far apart. War has changed our appearance and our family name. But after our baptism of blood and fire, the war ended. Everything between us is back, and I recognize you from your eyes.

"You're my classmate, Yellow Cat. I'm Akiko. Do you remember your classmate Akiko. Wang Mingming's tears rolled down.

The yellow cat stared at it for a long time, and then she suddenly lost her crutches and raised her hands and shouted: "My God, my great Christ, Jehovah, my Lord!" You were the one who led me to Akiko. It's Akiko, my good classmate, my good friend. The war is over, and our Jinling daughter is going to be reunited. Where have you been all these years, Mingzi, I'm looking for you so hard! ”
