The atmosphere was tense again. Shuangxi poked Wang Sanliu's back with the barrel of the gun and motioned for him to reply.

Wang Sanliu pushed Shuangxi's gun away indifferently, and shouted outside: "Damn, Lao Tzu's yard is also searched, let them get out!" ”

The guard said helplessly: "Commander, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

A rhythmic knock sounded on the door, and someone said in Japanese: "Captain Wang, I'm Second Lieutenant Suzuki, did you find anything suspicious just now?" ”

Wang Sanliu looked at Chen Zikun, and Chen Zikun also looked at him, expressionless.

"Everything is normal, thank you Second Lieutenant Suzuki for your concern, it's too late, there are female dependents at home, so I won't invite you in, I will invite you to tea another day." Wang Sanliu also replied in Japanese.

Chen Zikun breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Sanliu didn't know that he also knew Japanese, it seems that this person is quite knowledgeable about current affairs.

"That's it, thank you, goodbye." The footsteps were far away.

Chen Zikun winked, and Shuangxi also put away the gun, but was already vigilant.

Wang Sanliu arched his hand and said, "You are Chen Zikun?" ”

Chen Zikun returned the salute: "You are Wang Sanliu?" ”

"Please!" As soon as Wang Sanliu stretched out his hand, Chen Zikun entered the hall, Aunt Wang also followed, and Shuangxi still stayed in the courtyard.

"Please take a seat." Wang Sanliu said.

Chen Zikun was not allowed to sit on the Taishi chair next to the bar.

Suddenly, Wang Sanliu made an unexpected move, poofed and knelt down, bowed his head, and sturdy three rings, still brittle.

Chen Zikun accepted it calmly.

Wang Sanliu said: "I have supported my old mother for 20 years, and I dare not say thank you, although I Wang Sanliu is a traitor, my conscience is still there, and my sister-in-law and little niece have arranged it properly, but you can't take them away now." ”

Chen Zikun's face sank.

"My sister-in-law had a difficult birth, and I was frightened, Lang Zhong saw it and said that it was not appropriate to make a big move, and the Japanese were having fun outside, and now going out is throwing yourself into the net, if you believe in my brother and me, let my sister-in-law be confined with me, and when it is safe, I will send my sister-in-law home."

Wang Sanliu said sincerely, and Chen Zikun also knew that what he said was true, it was indeed dangerous outside at this time, but his wife and children were left here, and he couldn't rest assured no matter what, so he said: "I'll go see the child." ”

Wang Sanliu asked his mother to take Chen Zikun to visit Lin Wenjing in the wing, and he moved a chair to sit at the door. ”

Shuangxi whistled, Da Zhuang staggered out, Rao is Wang Sanliu was well-informed and experienced in a hundred battles, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, and reluctantly smiled: "This brother is really burly." "I secretly said in my heart that if there was a conflict just now, this bear pounced out, and I was afraid that I would be torn to pieces.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a sick man, and there seemed to be a wound in his abdomen, Wang Sanliu brought alcohol and cotton, and helped Shuangxi clean and disinfect Da Zhuang, who was very human, lying on the ground and at their mercy.

Here Aunt Wang took Chen Zikun to the wing, the lights were like beans, Lin Wenjing had a belt wrapped around her head, she was sleepy, her face was pale, and there was a little baby with pink carving lying in the cradle, with black hair, long eyelashes, and very delicate.

Aunt Wang wiped her tears and said: "This child has a hard life, born on the battlefield, it's not been a few days, the outside says that you are dead, master, I have been hiding it from my wife, God has eyes, you are still alive, little Japan is really not a thing......"

Chen Zikun said: "Auntie, why are you crying, am I not jumping around, by the way, has the child been named?" ”

"It's called little cabbage, alas, I'm also blind and don't count."

"Count, why don't you count, this is your granddaughter, it's called little cabbage." Chen Zikun bent down and looked at his little daughter in the cradle.

"You're here." Lin Wenjing woke up, stood up and looked at Chen Zikun with a smile, as if he was not surprised by his arrival.

Chen Zikun hurriedly stepped forward and held Lin Wenjing's hand: "You have suffered." ”

Aunt Wang quietly retreated very familiarly.

Lin Wenjing lowered her voice and said eagerly: "Why are you here, aren't you throwing yourself into the net." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Don't say it, pack your things and get ready to leave." ”

Lin Wenjing hurriedly got up, got dressed and packed her luggage, in fact, there was nothing to pack, just a few baby clothes and diapers, and hurriedly came to the door, Aunt Wang saw Lin Wenjing coming out with the child in her arms, and immediately panicked: "Where are you going?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "Beitai can't live, go to Nantai first, and then send them to Chongqing." ”

"I can't help it, I can't get out of bed during the confinement, and I have traveled thousands of miles to Chongqing, and the adults are sick and don't say, what do children eat halfway? The lady has no milk, the child is too young, and she can't stand a disease or disaster. ”

Aunt Wang has a point, most of the areas from Jiangbei to Chongqing are occupied areas, and the railways and highways are not passable, so it is really difficult for a woman in a month to travel a long distance with a baby.

Wang Sanliu's voice came from outside: "Don't say it's Chongqing, even you can't get out of Beitai, martial law is outside, you are only allowed to enter but not out, just rely on the two of you, take a girl and a child, and then take the lead bear, you can't fly out with wings." ”

Chen Zikun hesitated, Wang Sanliu was right, now take them out of the city, the risk is too great, even if they are lucky to get out of Beitai, then Guanshan thousands of miles, over the mountains and mountains, the mother and the baby can't go at all, but staying in Beitai, and unwilling.

Wang Sanliu said: "General Chen, you still can't trust my brother. Saying that, his wrist was flipped over, the dagger was in his hand, Shuangxi hurriedly raised the gun, Wang Sanliu didn't look at him, pressed his left hand against the wall, and was about to cut his fingers with the knife in his right hand, the action was very fast, not like he was acting.

Chen Zikun stepped forward and knocked out the dagger: "Captain Wang, what are you doing?" ”

Wang Sanliu said: "I do things for the Japanese, I can't complain that you don't believe me, how can I do it if I don't come up with some real chapters, I will cut off a finger today and vote for the name." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Tell me about your plan. ”

Wang Sanliu said with relief: "You are finally willing to believe me." ”

Shuangxi said: "Say it quickly, don't be verbose." ”

Wang Sanliu said: "The most dangerous place is often the safest, the outside world has a legend that General Chen has been killed, so the devil will not deliberately search for your family, I am now the commander of the Beitai garrison, even the Japanese do not dare to enter my house without permission, and I am here to find a nurse and maid, wash and scrub, take care of my sister-in-law and children are convenient, and when the confinement is out, I prepare a boat to send my sister-in-law to the provincial capital, from the provincial capital to Shanghai, from Shanghai to Hong Kong, Hong Kong and then to Chongqing, isn't it safe." ”

I have to say that Wang Sanliu's plan is the most comprehensive, from Jiangbei to Chongqing, only this roundabout way is the safest, but it also has the most twists and turns, and the time is too short to think about it, Chen Zikun looked at Lin Wenjing, Lin Wenjing nodded firmly: "With Aunt Wang to take care of you, you can rest assured." ”

Chen Zikun knew that his wife couldn't bear to drag him down, and he had to make a choice at this time, and there were still 100 brothers in Nantai waiting for him to go back.

He immediately decided: "Okay, my wife and children will ask Brother Wang." ”

Wang Sanliu nodded: "I will guarantee my life and send my sister-in-law and child to Shanghai safely." ”

Chen Zikun glanced at the sleeping baby again, and did not dare to look more, for fear that he would not be able to leave without heart.

Wang Sanliu said: "I'll find you two military uniforms, and when it's dawn, go out with my team." ”

Shuangxi said: "What about Da Zhuang?" ”

Wang Sanliu said: "Stay, you should raise a housekeeping dog, and when the right opportunity arises, I will send you to the mountain." ”

As soon as the sky was bright, the garrison under Wang Sanliu set off, and Chen Zikun and Shuangxi walked in the queue wearing the uniforms of the puppet army, because these horses and horses were from Manchukuo, and many of them were tall and strong, so the two did not seem to stand out from the crowd.

The team successfully passed the sentry post guarded by the Japanese army and drove out of the city ten miles away, Wang Sanliu sent the soldiers to search the green yarn tent, and personally bid farewell to Chen Zikun and Shuangxi: "Two, don't send it, take care all the way." ”

The two clenched their fists, turned over their horses, and galloped away.

Back in Gongjia Village, Xia Xiaoqing hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Where are the people?" ”

Chen Zikun shook his head: "I can't bring it out, I can only find another way, where are you going?" ”

Everyone is getting ready to go, a question only to know that the devil has arrived in the county, is killing, it turned out that there was a good man, slaughtered eight Japanese soldiers in one go, provoked a large group of Japanese soldiers to retaliate, as a Chinese army, everyone can not sit idly by, this is going to ambush the Japanese army outside the county.

Chen Zikun said: "Double happiness, are you tired? ”

Double happiness and a bared teeth: "Not tired." ”

"Let's go, let's kill the little devils together." Chan got on his horse again.

……

Chongqing, drizzling, the mountain city shrouded in a sad and solemn atmosphere, the important town of Wuhan in central China was lost, the war began for more than a year, half of the country fell into the hands of the enemy, the elite of the national army was lost, and even the chairman of the Aviation Committee, General Chen Zikun, was killed.

General Chen's remains were transported from Hubei by the soldiers of the Nationalist Army with great difficulty, and were temporarily parked in the Chongqing funeral parlor, because they were burned to charcoal, for fear of irritating the family, they did not dare to let them come to see it, so they were cremated directly and the funeral was held at a later date.

Yao Yilei Jianbing lives in a hostel in Chongqing with her two children, and now the escort is overcrowded, all the good houses are occupied, the hostels and restaurants are also full, and the corridors are full of people.

The two surviving people sat and wept, Chen Zikun was killed, Jiangdong fell, Beitai missed, everything was in vain, although there were still tens of thousands of fiat currency, but sitting on the empty mountain, it couldn't last long, the soldiers were in chaos, the people were cold, everyone was gone, who cares about your family, it is this hostel room, or Song Meiling said hello before renting it.

Chen Zikun died, all his posts were naturally relieved, the post of chairman of the Aviation Committee was taken over by Zhou Zhirou, the former enemy commander of the Air Force, the Huaijiang Midstream Defense Command was abolished, the establishment of the Model 17th Division was abolished, and even Chen Zikun's private plane was requisitioned by the Aviation Committee on the grounds of wartime decrees, and only a few thousand pieces of legal currency were given.

There was a knock on the door, and it was an officer from the chairman's chamber who had come to inform the two wives to attend the award ceremony and funeral, and Chen Zikun was posthumously awarded the Order of National Glory, the highest honor of the Nationalist Government, which was his last honor.
