Let's say that on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Long Yelong investigated and analyzed the cause of the fire to Liu Kefan, Ji Gaoyang, and Fang Zhi'an in the sky. The housekeeper Ji Gaoyang reported that when he just rushed out of the room, he vaguely saw a more familiar figure, which was very similar to Liang Shanzhou when the fruit store sold fruits, Long Jingzeng interjected from the side with a frightened face: "It can't be Liang Shanzhou!" ”。 Long Ye didn't care at the time, he just thought that Long Jing, a kid, was ignorant and interjected.

Later, his grandfather Long Zaitian reported the case to his uncle He Wenxuan, and He Wenxuan immediately arrested Liang Shanzhou and handed him over to the court for processing; Long Jing felt that it had come true! In a fit of rage, Long Jing made an exception and came to the door of Liu's house and shouted loudly inside: "Liang Tianyi, come out!" Liang Tianyi, you come out! ”

Wang Danfeng and Liu Linfeng were worried, annoyed, and afraid of Liang Shanzhou's arrest at home, when they suddenly heard Long Jing, the stinky boy of the Long family, shouting Liang Tianyi outside, and wanted to rush out to teach Long Jing a lesson, but they were stopped by Liang Tianyi, and quickly pulled Long Jing to talk outside.

The two walked side by side to the riverside causeway of the long-lost Jade River, and the moon jumped out from the east like a silver plate, printing the two inseparable figures on the gray road, and a bitter taste of embarrassment filled the hearts of the two.

"Liang Tianyi! Why didn't you come that day? Long Jing thought to himself, first ask Liang Tianyi about the reason for the future appointment on that Sunday (August 12, 1945) (ask for guilt), and then talk about Liang Shanzhou's arson. But Long Jing added the word "beam" in front of the "Tianyi" that he was used to shouting - this is a lot of points!

"Longjing! You're too embarrassed to ask me why I didn't come that day, and I'm going to ask you what you did that day. Long Jing added the word "Liang" in front of the "Tianyi" that he was used to shouting, and Liang Tianyi also added the word "Dragon" in front of the word "Jing" that he was used to shouting; This can be described as-for-tat, "for tat".

"What did I do that day? What can I do that day? Long Jing couldn't remember what he did on the Sunday when he couldn't wait for Liang Tianyi.

"Humph! Do you really not remember, or do you deliberately pretend to be confused? Long Jing often taught Liang Tianyi to be self-reliant, and Liang Tianyi actually used his strength on Long Jing today.

"What am I pretending to be confused? Do I need to pretend to be confused? What did I do badly that day, do you have something to say? Long Jing thinks that he, the dignified young master of Longfu, can like a "Cinderella" is already a great favor and love, if he doesn't love it, it's normal, and it can be said clearly, where does it still exist, what else is needed to pretend to be confused? .

"In the end, it is the young master of the Dragon Mansion, high up; And the nobles forget a lot of things, and they don't remember what they did. Okay, then I'll help you retrace the scene of that day - that day, you and Shi Ximeng held hands, side by side, went to department stores, went to the theater to watch movies, and they were all happy to the sky, where are there other people in your heart. Liang Tianyi vomited out the resentment that had been stuffed in her stomach for nearly half a year.

"I ...... I was with ...... that day Hand in hand with Shi Ximeng, shoulder to shoulder, visiting department stores, going to the theater to watch movies? Long Jing tried his best to remember what he had done with Shi Simon on Sunday, August 12 last year.

"What? Don't you dare to do it? Liang Tianyi raised his head and asked Long Jing.

"It's not that I don't dare to be, you let me think about it. Oh...... Here's how it was: On the afternoon of Saturday, the day before that Sunday, Shi Ximeng asked me to go to the Jiangzhou Theater the next night to watch the movie "The Family of Gold Powder"; Because I was going on a date with you on Sunday night, I made up a lie that I was going to a party with my dad and grandpa tomorrow night.

Shi Simon had no choice but to take a step back and ask me to watch a matinee movie; I didn't want to be with Shi Simon, and I said that I would read and review during the day on Sunday; But she repeatedly begged me to accompany her to a movie. People are not grass and trees, and they are classmates, how can they be too ruthless? Besides, after all, she is the daughter of the secretary of the party department of Jiangzhou City; So I didn't want to refuse very much, so I had to promise to only watch one matinee movie and no other shows.

"Shimon said that he would come to my house the next day to invite me; I didn't like her going, so I said I would meet in front of the theater and ask her to call and tell me the opening time of the movie.

"The next afternoon, that is, at two o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday, Shi Ximeng called and said that he had already bought the movie tickets for more than three o'clock, and asked me to rush to the Jiangzhou Theater before three o'clock; I didn't get to the door of the theater until three o'clock sharp; Unexpectedly, the movie is 3:50; Shi Simon said that he would go to the department store when he still had a little time. I thought, anyway, I had already come out, so I had to accompany her to the department store.

"As for what you said about Shi Ximeng holding hands and standing shoulder to shoulder, this does not exist. It's just that she hugged my arm, and I didn't want to shake it off. Long Jing tried his best to search his memory, and restored the plot of his relationship with Shi Shimeng on that Sunday five or six months ago to its original appearance as much as possible.

"Hmm...... Oh...... "Liang Tianyi is ...... If what Long Jing said is true, then he is rude and simple, cranky, and messed things up because of an irrational impulse for a moment!

"Liang Tianyi! For more than ten years, I Longjing has always cared for you, I care for you, protect you, care for you, and pamper you; It's that Sunday when you missed your appointment and didn't come, and I still think about you and think about you in my heart; Thinking and worrying about what happened to you. It's not that you don't know about Shi Shimon's question, it's that she has been chasing me, and I don't feel for her at all; Every time she treats me, I tell you exactly what I do in a timely manner, and I never hide a little. Even if you go to the movie or the department store, if you make it to the appointment on time, I will tell you everything without reservation.

"Liang Tianyi! As the saying goes: 'A daughter in a family asks for a hundred families'. In fact, regardless of whether it is a young man or a young woman, the phenomenon of 'one person asking for more' is widespread, but the important thing depends on the thoughts and feelings of the specific person concerned. In my heart, I have always been the only one with you, and I don't care about Shi Shimeng and what other ladies my parents say, and I only love you alone. However, you can't see this, or you don't believe me, so that when you see me watching a movie with Simon, you doubt me, hate me, forget and deny everything I have to you, and even miss the appointment, how chilling and sad it makes me! Long Jing said emotionally.

"Scene! So that's it! I...... Ay...... I ...... "Liang Tianyi regretted not being at the beginning, and was annoyed - why was I so uncalm, why was I so irrational, why was I so careful?" Why didn't I show up for the appointment? If I had gone to the appointment as usual and "questioned", "condemned", and "crusaded" him on the date, wouldn't I have been angry with myself like this at that time? Wouldn't it make things like this? To such an uncontrollable and irretrievable point?

"Tianyi, Tianyi! It seems that you didn't show up that Sunday because I was watching a movie with Shimon. If I'm not mistaken, your father burned down the three luxurious buildings of our Dragon Mansion, which is because of your incident as the fuse, igniting the long-cherished grudge and new hatred of your Liu family. In order to take revenge, your father took risks and did such a hurtful, vicious and cruel thing, and in the end both families caused immeasurable losses. If that's the case, you're so chilling and disappointing for me! It's not the most important thing to disappoint me, the most important thing is that your father may be on the road of no return because of you! Tianyi, Tianyi! Impulsiveness is the devil! You're also a reader, so why are you so impulsive and rash? ”

"Scene! Don't say it! Don't say it! It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I apologize to you, I confess my mistakes to you. But I beg you to save my dad, okay? Liang Tianyi, who was extremely remorseful, burst into tears, couldn't cry, and wanted to kneel down and beg Long Jing to save her father.

"There is no need to admit your mistakes and sins! But if you want me to save your father, it may not be easy to save it; My grandfather is angry, and my uncle is angry about it! ”

"Scene! Please! For the sake of you and me for more than ten years, you just have to find a way to save my father! Liang Tianyi still blindly begged Long Jing to find a way to save Liang Shanzhou.

"Alright! You asked me to figure it out and see if it worked. ”

"It's up to you!"

"I'll do my best!"

"Scene! I...... I ......" Liang Tianyi wanted to speak and stopped.

"What else?"

"You...... Can you forgive me? ”

"This ...... Is there any point in saying forgive now? ”

"Yes...... Make sense! I sincerely admit my mistakes and apologize to you! But I hope you can forgive me and hope that we can get along as always. Can you say yes? Liang Tianyi begged for shame.

"This ...... All right! Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great! Let's take a look at it everywhere! After all, they are good friends who have been together for more than ten years, and Long Jing can't bear to refuse.

"Thank you! Thank you! Liang Tianyi was grateful.

"But there is one thing you and I must be mentally prepared for: after this incident, I am afraid that the parents of both you and me will be more disgusted and resistant to getting along with us, and we will face more difficulties and ups and downs; This must be guarded against. Long Jing remembered his grandfather Long Zaitian's heartbroken and resentful look after he saw the Dragon Mansion burned down, and he took into account the difficulty of getting along with Liang Tianyi again.

"Okay! No matter what ups and downs we encounter, we face them together, without doubt, without discouragement, and without giving up! "Suffering from Changzhi, Liang Tianyi seems to be a little more mature.

"Good! What ups and downs we face together, and never give up! The two of them have a relationship foundation of more than ten years, and it is easy to "turn decay into magic" - Long Jing also gave up his previous suspicions and reconciled with Liang Tianyi.

Long Jing shook hands with Liang Tianyi and said goodbye, and said that he would meet on the riverside embankment of the Jade River on the third night to exchange information.

When Liang Tianyi returned home, before she could tell her mother and grandmother about asking Long Jing to help and find a way to save Liang Shanzhou, Wang Danfeng and Liu Linfeng called her to reprimand her with angry faces.

"Tianyi! Where did you go with that stinky boy? The Long family has already harmed our Liu family like this, and you still have dealings with him? You still think his family is not enough for us, don't you? Liu Linfeng asked loudly.

"Tianyi! Our Liu family and the Long family have a deep hatred and hatred, and they don't share the sky. Your grandfather was killed by the Long family! Your uncle was beaten to death by He Wenxuan! Your father has also been arrested by the police station to avenge you, and it is not known what crime will be sentenced to you. Kid like this, why are you still dating him? Wang Danfeng also followed closely and shouted at Liang Tianyi.

"Mother, grandmother, we must divide our words and actions into two, and we must follow our conscience. Grandpa's death was his own short-sightedness. The uncle was killed by He Wenxuan, and the people didn't mean it, it was a pistol misfire; Moreover, they also kowtowed to their uncle and made financial compensation. Dad was arrested this time because he set fire to three buildings in Longfu; How can it be said that the Long family harmed our Liu family? We are at fault in the first place! Besides, Long Jing is still trying to find a way to save my father, how can we say that the Long family is not? ”

"Bastard! Why do you twist your arms outward, little girl? It was the Long family who harmed us, why do you still say that it is ours, isn't it? Besides, your father was arrested this time to avenge you! How could you say such a thing? Are you still not the daughter of our Liu family? Wang Danfeng jumped like thunder.

"Dad was arrested this time to avenge me? What do I want him to avenge me? I have no enmity with the Long family at all, it was your misunderstanding, it was you who were troublesome, and it was you who ruthlessly burned down the three buildings of the Long Mansion to cause a lawsuit. ”

"Smack!" Liu Linfeng, who was furious, slapped Liang Tianyi hard: "You little girl is a ghost?" How do you help outsiders talk? You still weren't raised by us? If you help that stinky boy like this, you're going to live with that stinky boy! Get out of here! ”

"You...... I hate you! Liang Tianyi covered her hot cheeks, glared at Liu Linfeng fiercely, and rushed out of the door; Wang Danfeng couldn't stop screaming in the back.

Wang Danfeng, who didn't stop Liang Tianyi, quickly invited a few neighbors to help find Liang Tianyi on the street; It wasn't until the evening that Liang Tianyi was found and sent home. But Liang Tianyi was so angry that she locked herself in her room, not eating or drinking......

Besides, after Long Jing and Liang Tianyi broke up, they thought about how to save Liang Shanzhou all the way; In the end, he decided to go directly to his uncle He Wenxuan.

Long Jing went to the Jiangzhou Police Station and found his uncle He Wenxuan, who was the deputy director.

"Uncle! I heard that Liang Shanzhou was arrested! How many years is the sentence? ”

"How many years is the sentence? Liang Shanzhou's crime is extremely heinous, and it may be a death sentence! ”

"To be sentenced to death? He is just an arsonist, so why should he be sentenced to death? ”

"You stinky boy! Liang Shanzhou burned down the three buildings of your Dragon Mansion, why do you still speak for him? What is your relationship with him? ”

"I have nothing to do with him, but I am a classmate of his daughter Liang Tianyi, and Liang Tianyi asked me for help. So I came to ask my uncle for help to see if I could get a light hair. Long Jing told the truth.

"Liang Tianyi asked you for help? So what is the relationship between Liang Tianyi and you? Is it just a classmate relationship? With the unique sensitivity of the police, He Wenxuan felt that the relationship between Long Jing and Liang Tianyi was different.

"I ...... Liang Tianyi and I are good friends. Long Jing secretly thought in his heart: If he didn't say that he and Liang Tianyi were good friends, then Director He would not help; So he told the truth in front of his uncle.

"Stinky boy! Don't you know that the Liu family and your Long family have a feud? Why are you still getting along with Liang Tianyi, the daughter of the Liu family? You obviously know that Liang Shanzhou burned down the three buildings of your Dragon Mansion, why did you still come to intercede for the Liu family? I think you're dazed! If your father and grandfather know about this, you will have good fruit to eat. ”

"Uncle! I knew I couldn't let my dad and grandpa know about this, so I came directly to ask for your help. Please look at the fact that Liang Tianyi and I have been together for many years, you can find a way to save Liang Shanzhou! ”

"This matter has been submitted to the Jiangzhou Court for handling! When will I go to the court to find out what is going on? But I wasn't too sure, because I always told the court that Liang Shanzhou would be severely punished. ”

"Please ask my uncle to talk about it as much as possible! You are the chief of police, the hero of the case, and the third is a relative of the Long family. ”

"Good! I'll talk about when I go to the court to find out. He Wenxuan said reluctantly.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Okay! Go back! ”

Long Jing left the police station, because he made an appointment with Liang Tianyi to meet on the riverside embankment of the Jade River on the third night, so he couldn't tell Liang Tianyi what he told He Wenxuan for a while.

On the afternoon of the third day, Long Jing went to the police station to ask his uncle He Wenxuan about his visit to the court. He Wenxuan told him: Because Long Ye and he He Wenxuan asked Liang Shanzhou to be severely punished, the court had sentenced Liang Shanzhou to death. Because it has been made and cannot be changed, it is not easy for him to intercede, so he just waits for execution!

When Long Jing heard the bad news, his whole body went limp.

That night, Long Jing met Liang Tianyi on the riverside causeway of the Jade River; But I saw that her face was haggard, and her bones were thin; Long Jing hurriedly asked why. After Liang Tianyi broke up and returned home from the Jade River embankment last time, he was reprimanded by his mother and grandmother, and was slapped by his mother Liu Linfeng; ran away from home, was found by neighbors, locked himself in the room without eating or drinking; Later, I thought that I was going to go on a date today, so I ate something and told Long Jing about the situation.

Long Jing listened to Liang Tianyi's story, and was very indignant, and scolded Wang Danfeng and Liu Linfeng for not treating Liang Tianyi like this.

Liang Tianyi asked Long Jing how to save her father Liang Shanzhou. Long Jing told Liang Tianyi how he directly asked his uncle He Wenxuan for help, how He Wenxuan agreed, and how He Wenxuan went to the court and today's reply. Liang Tianyi was immediately frightened and fainted.

Long Jing hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug Liang Tianyi, and after a long time, he summoned Liang Tianyi back from the ghost gate, so that Liang Tianyi could stabilize after saying anything.

Liang Shanzhou was sentenced to death, which undoubtedly erected an insurmountable "Berlin Wall" between the Liu family and the Long family - Liang Tianyi and Long Jing both deeply felt that in such a situation, if the two wanted to continue to maintain and develop their relationship, both families would never allow it.

What to do? What to do? What to do?

Long Jing and Liang Tianyi thought of a terrible word at the same time - elopement.

Readers, don't panic! Long Jing and Liang Tianyi's so-called elopement is not the traditional elopement that is far from home, disappears, and lives together. It is an elopement that separates from both families, separates from both families, and lives independently.

How do you live independently? Where do you go to live independently? The minimum requirement for independent living is to have a place to live and food. Where do I have a place to live and something to eat?

Go to the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment (after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Danjiang Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment has been changed to the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment)? This road can be walked, and it can be walked - Xu Mai, the head of the Jiangzhou Independent League, and Ben Teng, the political commissar of the Independent League, all have friendships with Long Ye, and Long Jing has also seen them many times. Moreover, Grandpa Long Zaitian presented the "Golden Jade Clothes" to the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment, and the head of Xu Mai would not take them in without looking at face. However, I heard that the discipline of the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment is very strict, the life is very hard, and it is not "regular", and I don't know if it will become a big climate in the future - taking this road is not the best policy.

The Jiangzhou Independent Regiment is not suitable to go, so where should it go? Go to the Jiangzhou Garrison? Long Jing's cousin (He Wenxuan's eldest son) He Fei is a captain and military doctor of the Jiangzhou Garrison Command; It's still okay to say hello to He Fei. Moreover, the Jiangzhou garrison is much more regular than the Jiangzhou Independent Regiment! After that, Jiangzhou was not the Kuomintang Jiangzhou garrison to sit in the world?

After repeated considerations and trade-offs, Long Jing and Liang Tianyi finally decided that it was advisable to go to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters.

The road of life is long, but the key is just one or two steps; If the key one or two steps are wrong, then one wrong step is wrong. Long Jing and Liang Tianyi chose the wrong path and took the wrong direction at this crossroads in their lives, which changed the content of their lives to a great extent.

When Long Jing and Liang Tianyi discussed and decided to go to the Jiangzhou garrison, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and the two quickly broke up. When parting, the two agreed: meet here at 7 o'clock tomorrow night and go to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters to find He Fei together.

The next night, Long Jing, who had already packed his luggage, left a "farewell letter" on the desk in the room saying that he didn't want to go to school and wanted to join the army at the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters, and went to the riverside embankment of the Jade River to wait for Liang Tianyi before seven o'clock without telling his family. However, Liang Tianyi was looking forward to it for a long time.

Why didn't Liang Tianyi come? This time it's definitely not angry, it's probably restricted by the family!

What should I do if Liang Tianyi is restricted by her family and can't come out? Go to Liu's house and call her? No way! If Liang Tianyi is really restricted by his family, he can't shout; And he will bring humiliation on himself, and he will be insulted by the two tigresses of the Liu family.

If I don't call Liang Tianyi, then I won't go to the Jiangzhou Garrison Command alone-the reason and purpose of running away from home and eloping to the Jiangzhou Garrison Command is to get rid of the interference that may occur between the two families and get along with Liang Tianyi. Now that Liang Tianyi can't come out, there is no need for me to go to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters alone! However, if Liang Tianyi breaks through the resistance in the future, escapes from the family's cage, and goes to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters to find me; And I'm not in the Jiangzhou Garrison Command, so what about Liang Tianyi, who has left the family?

Long Jing hesitated on the riverside embankment of the Jade River until nearly nine o'clock with anxiety, and finally decided to go to the Jiangzhou garrison - Long Jing left the riverside causeway of the Jade River and went to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters alone in a rickshaw.

Long Jing guessed correctly, as soon as Liang Tianyi returned home, it was estimated that she went to find Wang Danfeng and Liu Linfeng of Longjing, and asked Liang Tianyi with anger how Long Jing was doing with He Wenxuan's help. When I heard Liang Tianyi say that the court had sentenced Liang Shanzhou to death and would execute it immediately, the two women who had that kind of relationship with Liang Shanzhou were heartbroken, like mourning - Wang Danfeng and Liu Linfeng were completely out of control, crying out and crying.

After Wang Danfeng and Liu Linfeng cried for a while, they "learned from the pain" and thought that all the disasters of the Liu family were caused by the Long family. Therefore, Liang Tianyi was strictly forbidden to interact with Long Jing. Liang Tianyi thought that her mother and grandmother were unreasonable and said she did not obey. Wang Danfeng and Liu Linfeng locked Liang Tianyi in the room - so Liang Tianyi failed to go to the riverside embankment of the Jade River the next night to go to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters with Long Jing.

Long Jing came to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters alone in a rickshaw, and found He Fei, who was a captain and military doctor in the Jiangzhou Garrison Hospital.

He Fei warmly received Long Jing and asked Long Jing about his intentions. Long Jing did not hide it, so he told He Fei all the grievances between the Liu family and the Long family, the situation he had been with Liang Tianyi for more than ten years, and the situation that he decided to do so this time in order to escape the interference of the two families. After He Fei heard this, he felt that "the circumstances are extenuating" and "the feelings are not pity"; Therefore, neither approval nor opposition was expressed. But since Long Jing was here to join him, he should still arrange an errand for Long Jing to live in - three days later, under the operation of He Fei, Long Jing was arranged to be a trainee confidential officer in the Confidential Section of the Jiangzhou Garrison Command.

After Long Jing ran away from home, Long Ye Long Zaitian and Long Tianci sent people to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters to understand the situation according to Long Jing's note; Fang Zhi Long Jing was already working at the Garrison Command. Although the family didn't understand why Long Jing suddenly dropped out of school to join the army, why he didn't say goodbye; But seeing that Long Jing already had a serious job, he had to let it go.

Fireworks in March, **bright. Three buildings of Longfu were erected on the original site. The burned-out wings and promenades were also renovated. Long Yelong Zaitian still assigns his wives and concubines and children and grandchildren to live in various buildings according to the original format - Jiang Cuilian lives on the second floor of the East Building; Long Tianci and his wife and their sons Long Jing and Long Guang live on the first floor of the East Building; Qin Keqing, Long Tianwei and Long Tiangang lived in the front building; Mr. and Mrs. Long Zhengyi and their daughter Long Yao live in the back west building; The housekeeper Ji Gaoyang and his wife, and the captain of the nursing home, Liu Kefan and his wife, still live in each side room - the dignified Nanlong Mansion is still so prosperous.

In this bright fireworks March, Liang Shanzhou, the first offender who burned down the three buildings in Longfu, was sent to the guillotine and returned to the west - since then, Wang Danfeng and Liu Linfeng's mother and daughter have no men.
