Chapter 123

For several days, it rained constantly, and after the phone was cut off that day, the situation on the front line has been unknown, Yang Jinxin has also been unable to sleep and eat these days, her eyes have barely closed, her eyes are red, and her already restless stomach has aggravated her vomiting. And now the old Wang and Zhao Zhijun who are taken care of by her side are both smug men, and they are both very busy, so no one notices her abnormality at all.

The chaos in Jinling City became more and more chaotic, and refugees entered the city in large numbers to seek shelter, and everyone believed that staying at the feet of the Son of Heaven would definitely be able to stay away from the battlefield and avoid the devastation brought by the war. I think this has been the case since ancient times, and the examples of heads of government abandoning the capital and fleeing are only a few.

However, these people did not expect that the government they wholeheartedly supported would most likely give up on holding on in the near future, and allow the invaders to burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil in this land.

The city is in chaos, and Jinling, which has lost its normal order, is mixed, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find Yang Jinhuan. Yang Jinxin is now accompanied by Lao Wang, almost all day long and all day long, and the attendant officers in the attendant room are also all in action. Yang Jinxin even posted a missing person notice in the newspaper, and those who could provide effective clues were rewarded with a lot of money.

On this day, it snowed lightly again, and as soon as Yang Jinxin came back from outside, there was a phone call to the attendant's room, and the caller said that he had seen Yang Jinhuan in the area of Wuyi Lane, and described it conclusively that it was definitely the lily that the Overseer's Mansion was looking for.

This news is the most valuable news that Yang Jinxin has received in recent days, they once lived in Wuyi Lane, where there are all the memories of her sister to Muyang, and she is very likely to go there.

Unable to care about the heavier and heavier snow, Yang Jinxin wrapped her fur coat tightly, followed the ski-white fox fur collar, lined her moist cheeks, and matched with the pair of black and bright water-cut eyes, and her lips were not dotted, as if she was an elf coming out of a fairy tale world.

She didn't have time to rest, she called Lao Wang again, walked out of the gate, the bluestone road leading to the gate, and before she was halfway there, she met Zhao Zhijun who came back in a hurry, and Xiao Li in the attendant's room was followed behind her.

"Ma'am!" Zhao Zhijun called her first, and then the two stood up and saluted together.

Yang Jinxin paused slightly and nodded towards the two, "I'm going to go out for a trip, and I'll talk about it when I come back." ”

He said this in a hurry, and at the same time kept walking out.

"Ma'am!" Zhao Zhijun said again, his voice was a little higher, and the person also retreated, half-blocking Yang Jinxin's way.

"Premier Chen has just issued an order ordering all walks of life in Jinling to ...... Start the retreat! ”

Zhao Zhijun has been busy for several days, and his voice has long been dumb, and when he said this, he was even more depressed. Yang Jinxin understood that it was a set of orders that he was most reluctant to receive as a soldier, which meant that a soldier received an order to retreat before he had time to go to the battlefield.

In his opinion, giving up the position without a fight is something he is extremely unwilling to do in his bones, not to mention, this position is still the national capital!

This news made Yang Jinxin's already white face even more white and almost transparent, she gasped, her long eyelashes hung with crumbling droplets, but the corners of her mouth pulled a smile, looking at Zhao Zhijun deeply, her voice was slightly hoarse, with a low relief.

Director Zhao ...... As anachronistic as it may be, I still have to say it...... I'm glad to hear that. One day you will know how wise this order is to make you sad today, right! Very wise! ”

Zhao Zhijun frowned and looked at her, he actually couldn't figure out how the fourth young man could listen to her opinion, but the duty of a soldier made him have to obey this order.

He still stood upright, his expression serious and serious.

"Shancheng and Rongcheng have received orders, and the shipping company has also made preparations, and now all government units, staff and their families, as well as celebrities in Jinling, have been the first batch of retreats and are making preparations."

"Good! Understandable. ”

At this time, it is understandable that the privileged class enjoys special treatment.

"The order that the four young people came back is that they will have a maximum of one month to evacuate, but the current population of Jinling, plus the number of refugees, is too much, and the strength of the garrison headquarters alone cannot be busy at all, so ......"

"I don't care, you bring someone from the attendant's room to help, I'll look for it myself, now in this situation, she should also know the seriousness of the matter, you go to arrange the itinerary, when you should go, when you want to go, don't everyone have to go to the southwest?"

Yang Jinxin calmed down a lot at this time, at this time, she must not drag the mud and water, which is something she has long understood.

Zhao Zhijun breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that she would stay, and he had no choice, so he felt a little more relaxed at this time.

"Yes, just...... Now you have to evacuate to the mountain town first, and then find a way to go to the United States. ”

Yang Jinxin nodded and replied very simply: "Okay, you can do it!"

After speaking, he paused again, bit his lip and said, "Yes...... Try to drag it out? I promise, I will definitely withdraw. ”

Zhao Zhijun frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded.

Xiao Li was left with Yang Jinxin to help, and another attendant came over to inform him that the assembly was over, Zhao Zhijun saluted Yang Jinxin again, and turned around to go out, but was stopped by Yang Jinxin.

"Four young him...... Are you alright? ”

"He's safe now!" Zhao Zhijun replied.

Yang Jinxin clenched his fingers and muttered, "That's good...... That's good......"

In the next few days, Zhao Zhijun's figure was completely gone, and Lao Wang was also ordered by Yang Jinxin to go home to pack up, and the first batch of people to retreat had already set sail, and there was Yang Jinxin on the ship in the name of the family of the Overseer's Mansion, and the old Wang's wife and children on the plug, and Lao Wang, before boarding the ship, stayed.

The snow was falling non-stop, the weather was cold, the city was in chaos, and the order to retreat came suddenly and urgently, and although it was short, it was effective. Although many people have left behind a lot of belongings in the panic, most of the people in the city have been evacuated, including refugees.

Safe evacuation is the best news!

Yang Jinxin did not stop looking for Yang Jinhuan, and the military police who organized the boarding of the ship also received orders to pay special attention to the young woman, but still no trace of Yang Jinhuan was found.

Qin Muyang's estimated one-month evacuation time was still too tight, and a week later, the Battle of Songhu in this world officially began. There was no personal news from Qin Muyang, but some reporters intermittently reported the battle situation on the front line, and the tragedy of the war was unheard of.

On the eighth day, the president personally sent a letter that all shipping companies and railway lines in Jinling and Shanghai were thrown into the tide of evacuation of the people of Jinling.

Schools, hospitals, enterprises and factories in Jinling City...... They all began to move westward, but in just two days, the once prosperous national capital Jinling was almost moved into an empty city. Only a small number of people are still stranded here, and most of them are elderly people who are old and lonely, and they cannot and refuse to leave their homeland.

Yang Jinxin still seized the last chance and walked on the empty and bleak streets, while Yang Jinhuan still had no news.

On the fifteenth day, Jinling was already isolated from the world, and no news came, and the retreat time could no longer be delayed.

Zhao Zhijun arranged the last ferry to the mountain city for Yang Jinxin, and Yang Jinxin had no choice but to take the ferry to the mountain city accompanied by Lao Wang.

It was the last night of the Overseer's Palace, and the empty city of Jinling was snowing heavily, and the whole city was silent, except for the sound of snow falling. The plum blossoms in the garden bloomed and became more and more delicate, and Yang Jinxin personally cooked the last dinner in Jinling in this fragrant fragrance of flowers.

Zhao Zhijun and Xiao Li were waiting in the dining room straight, the power supply was no longer guaranteed, the electric lights were turned off from time to time, and when they got to the back, they stopped completely.

"Everyone gets together today, don't separate each other, after eating this reunion dinner, we have to go to the mountain city to have the next reunion dinner, come, everyone sit down, don't be restrained."

Yang Jinxin served the last green dish and greeted the three people in the restaurant with a light smile. She was still dressed in an ordinary Chinese dress, her hair was curled up casually, her sleeves were pulled up to her elbows, and she was smiling and friendly.

"Thank you, ma'am!" The three of them thanked each other and sat down next to each other.

After Yang Jinxin sat down, he first picked up the teacup and said: "I have to get up early tomorrow, I won't drink today, we will replace wine with tea, and I wish myself a safe journey."

"Have a safe journey!"

"Have a safe journey!"

……

Zhao Zhijun also said this, and after putting down the teacup, he stood up again and took out a white hairpin from the pocket of his military uniform. It was two finely carved plum blossoms, two plum blossoms closely attached to each other, layered petals, and the topaz dotted in them acted as stamens, so white and transparent color, in the flickering candlelight, shining, exceptionally fresh and refined.

"This, it was sent back with the front-line military report, it is a gift from Si Shao, to your wedding anniversary, the military situation is urgent, he failed to write to you, only verbally conveyed it back and said, be sure to give this to you!"

Zhao Zhijun's hoarse voice was extremely low, and he stretched out to Yang Jinxin's palm, this plum blossom hairpin reflected a dazzling light.

Yang Jinxin's eyes were hot, her outstretched fingers trembled, and finally she couldn't help it, took the hairpin, squeezed it tightly in her hand, she raised her hand to cover her face, quickly wiped the liquid from the corners of her eyes, and replied with two words in a low voice.

"Thank you!"

Yang Jinxin put the hairpin in the palm of his left hand, where he could hear the sound of his heartbeat, and picked up the chopsticks with his right hand as if nothing happened, still greeting the three of them with a smile.

"Eat quickly, wait, the food will be cold."

"Ma'am!" Zhao Zhijun's hoarse voice sounded again, Yang Jinxin looked up at him, and saw that he was still sitting upright, looking at himself like a torch.

"Tomorrow, Xiao Li and Master Wang will escort you to the mountain city, and the subordinates and the rest of the attendant room will stay together and wait for the fourth young man to come back, you take care all the way!"

"No, the lowly duty must be left behind!"

As soon as Zhao Zhijun's words fell, he saw Xiao Li stand up suddenly, and his voice was so categorical.

"Your task is to protect your wife and obey orders!"

Zhao Zhijun shouted, stood up and was full of majesty, and saw that Xiao Li had raised his chest again, but his mouth was unyielding.

"Humble request to go to war!"

"You ......"

"That's it!"

Yang Jinxin interrupted Zhao Zhijun's words, she looked at the two people standing upright, and said slowly: "I understand your feelings, let Xiao Li stay."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Xiao Li's voice was full of excitement.

Yang Jinxin glanced at him with a wry smile, he was still such a young boy! She looked at Zhao Zhijun again, he naturally frowned and expressed dissatisfaction, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yang Jinxin.

"The battle to defend the capital is not easy to fight, more people have more strength, you remember my words, if you can see Si Shao, you must let him not fall in love with the war, save the living force, we will definitely usher in the day of victory, everything we have lost, will eventually be regained!"

"Yes!"

……

On the last night, naturally she couldn't sleep, her luggage was very simple, she had already packed up, and the loss of her sister's whereabouts made Yang Jin's heart worry, and Qin Muyang on the battlefield made her even more worried.

Yang Jinxin sat in front of the dresser, the hairpin brought back by Zhao Zhijun was in front of her, and she slowly took off the jade clip from her left ear, which still had the temperature of her hair.

She rubbed it gently, the smooth surface reflected Huo Donglai's warm smiling face, her heart tightened, and it didn't hurt anymore.

Yang Jinxin chuckled: "Donglai, I'm sorry, you see, my heart doesn't hurt anymore, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

She picked up the jade clip that had been with her for a long time, lightly imprinted a kiss on her lips, quickly took out a small purse from the drawer, opened it, paused again, and finally put the jade clip in.
