Chapter 3 Choice, Farewell

After the fall of Yuan Shikai, the warlords became more and more divided, and the future of the revolution was uncertain.

At the end of summer, Emperor Xuantong, the last king of the Qing Dynasty, was driven out of the Forbidden City.

For eight years, Chongliming has lived in the capital, and it is difficult to let go of the past for a long time. Ah Yi came to Beijing from the south, and when he heard that Chong Liming was in the palace, he rode a horse to find him.

Ah Yi went all the way backwards, and the people he saw were some people living in the palace, who were hanging luggage and left in embarrassment at the urging of the soldiers.

"Ah Yi," Chong Liming smiled and said, "Aren't you in the south?" ”

"What's the difference between the North and the South?" Ah Yi said solemnly, "Yuan Shikai has fallen for so many years, and the infighting has not stopped, and the warlord forces have been divided. ”

"What you revolutionaries are pursuing is now in vain, aren't they?"

"Brother, I know that you have not changed all along, and you still have a lot of things in your heart that you can't let go." Ah Yi was still serious, "Mr. Sun has realized what the problem is. The only way to realize the ideals of the revolution is to build up one's own armament. ”

"What are you telling me to do that?" Chongli Ming Dao.

"Just a few months ago, a new military academy was built, and Mr. Zhou recommended me to be an instructor to train new revolutionary backbones in the future." Ah Yi's gaze was extremely sincere, "Now in this Forbidden City, there is nothing worth your nostalgia for, brother, come with me to Guangzhou!" ”

"Ah Yi, I couldn't persuade you before." Chong Liming's hand was on Ah Yi's shoulder, "Now you kid can't persuade me either." I know what you're saying, but that's your business. ”

"Brother, do you remember what General Song said?" Ah Yi asked, "Go forward and don't look behind, turn your back on the darkness and turn to the light." Our generation of young people, but we want to live up to today, live up to the people's expectations, and live up to the country. ”

Chong Liming burst into tears, patted Ah Yi on the shoulder, and turned to leave.

A few days later, Chong Liming came to the mutton restaurant of Lao Matou. After so many years, the signboard is much older, and the furnishings inside have hardly changed, but the owner of this restaurant has changed.

I saw a woman wearing a coarse cloth apron running back and forth between the counter and the back kitchen, and a little boy about seven or eight years old was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks at the various tables. These two men are Wagner's wife and children.

"Kid, you're so diligent." Chong Liming squatted down and touched little Wagner's head.

"Uncle, you're here again, what do you want to eat?" Little Wagner is still childish, but he seems to be very sensible.

"Uncle didn't come to eat, uncle came to your mother." Chong Liming said with a smile.

"Lord Belle is here." Qing'er was startled, but immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Qing'er," Chong Liming smiled and took out a few bills from his pocket and handed them to her, "I haven't helped me for so many years, you can take this money." ”

"Oh, I said master, don't send money to me every once in a while, I have a mutton restaurant here, and the clinic is rented by others, and our mother and daughter are not short of money to spend." Chongli saw Qing'er pretending to be calm.

"If I hadn't asked Wagner to go with me to Yang Zhen for revenge, maybe it would have been ......," Chong Liming said indebtedly.

"Don't say that, sir. This is a knot in his heart, if he doesn't go, he will regret it for the rest of his life. Qing'er choked up and said, "By the way, master, do you have anything else to do this time?" ”

Chong Liming let out a long sigh and said, "This time I'm here to say goodbye to you two. ”

"Where is Uncle going?" Little Wagner looked up and asked innocently.

Chongli Ming smiled at the child and continued: "I'm going to Guangzhou, join Ah Yi and them." From today onwards, I will forget the past and move forward! ”

"Then take care!" Qing'er reluctantly said.

"Will my uncle come to see me in the future?" Wagner Jr. asked.

"Yes," Chong Liming touched his head again, "Next time my uncle will bring you a lot of delicious food,"

Little Wagner agreed, innocently saying: "When I grow up, I will also wear a military uniform like you and kill bad guys." ”

Chongliming and Wagner looked at each other and smiled, then turned to leave.

Seeing that Ah Yi had been waiting for him outside the city gate for a long time, Chong Liming looked back again, and then walked side by side with Ah Yi, all the way south, galloping away.
