Entering the main hall of the Chen Mansion, Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng's performance was surprising and very touching - the two of them did not take a sip of tea, so in accordance with the etiquette and customs, respectfully incense the ancestral tablet of the Chen family, and walked to the east wall together, looking at the portrait of the junior brother Chen Bo'an with great emotion, staring at it for a long time and standing silently, making the eyes of everyone in the mansion red, and there was silence.

At the invitation of Chen Jiyao and Wang Daohan, Yu Jishi humbly came to the first Taishi chair of the guest, and only sat down after Chen Jiyao sat down, took the fragrant tea offered by the maid with both hands, tasted two sips very gracefully, put down the cup, and talked warmly with Chen Jiyao as a nephew.

Although Chen Shizheng, who was sitting at the head of Yu Jishi, had a smile on his face, his eyes turned left and right from time to time, and he saw Wu Ming and the two rows of guards standing solemnly at the gate together, like a guard officer, he had to put his mind aside for the time being, and chatted with Yu Jishi with Chen Jiyao.

After about ten minutes, Chen Shizheng finally seized the opportunity, smiled at Chen Jiyao, who was in a good mood, and pointed to Wu Ming, who was standing at the door, and introduced:

"Uncle, there is also a local Junjie in the little nephew's team, I saw his origin in his file some time ago, and I realized that he is also a Shangrao clan, let me introduce it to my uncle, Head Wu——"

"Here!"

Wu Ming scolded bitterly in his heart, glanced at Chen Jiyao, who was stunned on the main seat, and Wang Daohan, who was smiling bitterly on the side, and came to Chen Shizheng to stand upright: "Please give me instructions!" ”

Chen Shizheng took everyone's reactions into account, Ha Lu smiled, stood up and pulled Wu Ming: "Head Wu, come on!" Get to know Mr. Chen, who is ......"

"Xie Lu, Chief Chen, my subordinates and Old Man Chen have already known each other."

Wu Ming interrupted Chen Shizheng's introduction, respectfully saluted the helpless Chen Jiyao, and turned to Chen Shizheng and Yu Ji, explaining:

"Chief Yu, Chief Chen, last year, his subordinates led a team to chase down several bandits wanted in the two provinces to come here, just in time for the birthday of the old man Chen, at that time the subordinates were tired and hungry, so they had to be cheeky to come to the door to beg for food, did not bring any gifts, and made a little misunderstanding, I originally planned to take the time to come to the door to apologize during this time, but I didn't expect the two chiefs to call their subordinates today, and they were empty-handed and full of guilt, and they didn't dare to come forward!"

Chen Shizheng, who thought he had a plan, was stunned, looked at Chen Jiyao, who nodded frequently, and then looked at Wang Daohan, who was full of smiles, the relationship was chaotic, but it was not good to continue to investigate, so he had to smile: "It turns out that you have such a relationship, Ha Luha, it's good to know." ”

After Yu Jishi was surprised, he laughed happily and asked Wu Ming to sit down and have a good chat.

Wu Ming had no choice but to sit down at the bottom of Chen Shizheng, took the fragrant tea offered by the little maid, and was just about to open the lid, when he saw two familiar figures appear on the side of the main hall, his hands trembled in fright, and he almost threw away the teacup.

Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng saw two dignified and beautiful family members come forward to greet them, and hurriedly stood up and greeted each other politely.

The slippery Wang Daohan had already come to the middle, and enthusiastically introduced to Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng: "This is the third lady of the Chen Mansion, this is Wang Yuehan, the wife of Chen Zhongkang, the second young master of the Chen family, who is now working in the provincial party department, and is also the niece of the family, Ha Lu Ha!" ”

After the third aunt saluted Yu Jishi too politely, she generously turned to the expressionless Wu Ming and thanked him: "I haven't had the opportunity to thank Head Wu for his generous help, the little girl Chen Yi also wrote the day before yesterday, saying that she was doing well in school, the teachers and professors cared about her very much, and she learned a lot, so let's thank Head Wu well." ”

Wu Ming nodded politely: "It's just a gesture." ”

Wang Daohan hurriedly explained to Yu Jishi, who was stunned: "That's the case, in the second half of last year, Chen Yi, the youngest daughter of the Chen family, was able to enter Hangzhou Church Medical College for further study under the care of Head Wu, so the whole Chen family is very grateful to Head Wu!" ”

Yu Jishi was even more surprised: "This is a good thing!" Wu Ming, I didn't expect you to have such ability, Hangzhou Church Medical College is known as the first medical school in Jiangnan, and it only recruits dozens of outstanding students every year, which is more difficult than Hangzhou Zhijiang University and Shanghai Fudan! ”

Wu Ming hurriedly cleared up the relationship: "Commander, it's not that his subordinates have the ability, but that the subordinate combat staff officer Captain Dai Ziran has the ability, Mr. Dai Zichen, director of the China Young Men's Christian Association and the chief Chinese pastor of Hangzhou Tianshui Church, is the cousin of Captain Dai Ziran, Captain Dai Ziran and Miss Chen Yi have known each other for a long time, they are friends, and they are in contact with each other. ”

"In addition, the three medical officers in the subordinate medical team, plus Captain Dai Ziran, who is now transferred to the combat staff officer, all graduated from Hangzhou Church Medical College. Thanks to these relationships, the subordinate health team was successfully formed, and the Quzhou West Hospital was opened in cooperation with the Quzhou Christian Church to train medical personnel for the military and the local community as much as possible, which seems to be good at present. ”

Yu Jishi suddenly realized and nodded frequently. Chen Shizheng was still full of suspicion, feeling that things were too coincidental, so he kept observing the expressions of Wu Ming and the others.

Fortunately, the housekeeper came up in time to report that the banquet had been prepared, and everyone was invited to move to the middle hall, Chen Jiyao and the third aunt hurriedly invited them, Yu Jishi and Chen Shizheng were polite, and happily followed in with Wang Daohan.

Wu Ming didn't go in, and stayed in the main hall under the pretext of opening another table with the adjutant and the secretaries, and after the adjutant's secretaries followed the enthusiastic third aunt and the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion to leave, Wu Ming sat down on the empty main hall with a sigh of relief, took out a cigarette and lit it silently.

"Huh! Why don't you sit at the table? A gentle voice came.

Wu Ming didn't need to turn his head to know who Lu Dao was, picked up the teacup and slowly took a few sips, looked up at Wang Yuehan, who came to sit down in front of the side, and reproached: "At this sensitive time, why did you come to Shangrao?" ”

Wang Yuehan, whose eyes were clear and her face was slightly red, asked with a smile, "Are you worried about my safety?" ”

Wu Ming put down the teacup, looked around, and said something extremely shocking: "I'm not worried that the Kuomintang will kill you, I'm only worried that your life will be misunderstood and you will be killed." ”

Wang Yuehan only felt that his heart twitched suddenly, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he looked at Wu Ming blankly for a long time before he exhaled and begged in a low voice: "Don't say such things in the future, okay?" People are scary, they are scared to death! ”

"What about Chen Zhongkang? He's relieved that you're running around? ”

Wu Ming regretted it after saying this, he didn't know why he would ask such a stupid thing for Lu, and in embarrassment, he had to bow his head again and pick up the teacup.

Wang Yuehan didn't seem to notice Wu Ming's abnormality, sighed faintly, and replied in a low voice: "At the end of last year, he followed that group of escort officers to Germany for further study, alas! I don't know where he heard that only Germany can cure his hidden disease in the whole world, so he hurriedly applied for it, and secretly spent a lot of money and finally got his wish...... He contracted this disease while studying in Japan, and it has been more than four years, and if Germany does not cure it, I am afraid that he will never become a man. ”

"Huh!?"

Wu Ming raised his head in shock, and quickly turned his gaze to the teacup in his hand.

Wang Yuehan saw that Wu Ming had been silent, bit his lip, and plucked up his courage to say: "Originally, I was going to Quzhou to find you, but when I came here, I heard from my uncle that you led your troops to be stationed in the Shangrao North Gate Military Camp, so ...... I would like to ask you for your help, our wounded and sick are in urgent need of quinine injections, disinfectants and hemostatic powders, as well as demerol and surgical instruments, and now the whole country is controlling these scarce things, and they can't be found on the market at all, so we can only ask you for help. ”

Wu Ming frowned slightly: "A small amount of medicine is not a big problem, it doesn't matter if there are a few sets of surgical instruments, I can't help it if I have more...... Over the past year, almost all of what I have quietly saved has been bought by you. There is another thing, you Mr. Zhang still owe me 20,000 oceans for the goods, let's settle the account first. ”

Wang Yuehan wanted to speak and stopped, glanced at the two rows of guards standing outside the gate, stood up and asked in a low voice: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to Dad's East Courtyard to talk, okay?" ”

Wu Ming hesitated for a while, saw Wang Yuehan's beautiful face full of expectation, his heart softened, nodded and followed Wang Yuehan through the small door of the side hall to the east courtyard where Chen Jiyao and the third aunt lived, raised his head and looked at the blue sky, walked to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, and the well-behaved little maid next to the third aunt quickly brought tea and snacks.

Wang Yuehan slowly sat down on the stone drum opposite Wu Ming: "To be honest, I'm getting more and more scared now, Nanchang and Shangrao are very strict, and almost every few days I hear the news that ** people have been executed or betrayed, and I heard that Mr. Zhang ...... Mr. Zhang......"

"What's wrong with Mr. Zhang?"

Wu Ming stared nervously at Wang Yuehan's eyes.

Wang Yuehan didn't dare to look at Wu Ming, lowered his head for a while, and then replied in a low voice: "My direct contact is Mr. Zhang, and it wasn't until last week that my liaison was replaced by another old acquaintance from Shangrao, and I learned that Mr. Zhang was isolated and examined soon after he arrived in the Central Soviet District. ”

Wu Ming sighed: "I'm afraid it's your turn next." ”

"That's why I'm scared......"

Wang Yuehan's beautiful eyes were already full of tears, and her delicate face was pale, and she looked frightened by the cruel reality.

Wu Ming was silent for a long time and asked, "Does the family know your identity as a ** member?" ”

Wang Yuehan shook her head, quietly wiped away her tears, and raised her head: "The family doesn't know what to do, and ...... I'm not a real ** person, from the year before last to the present, my application to join the party has not been approved, and I don't even know who the traffic officer who will contact me next time is...... I...... I'm scared ......."

Wu Ming felt a faint pain in his heart, pondered for a long time, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I don't know the way, I really don't know the way, I'm so scared! I want to resign from my job in the Jiangxi Provincial Party Department, and would rather return to the countryside of Yingtan to be a primary school teacher and live a peaceful life, but I am afraid that my family will be implicated, and I am even more afraid that my superiors will misunderstand me as a traitor, so I ...... I ......"

Wang Yuehan couldn't say anything anymore when she said this, and tears came out of her eyes.
