Chapter 122
Zhao Zhijun moved quickly, and on the fifth day after that, he arranged a plane to Hong Kong.
After a long time, Yang Jinxin remembered this day clearly. The sky was as cold and hard as iron when it wasn't raining, and the air was a faint, misty iron gray. Overhead, the gray clouds were as vast and tall as mountain peaks, oppressing people to breathe harder, and people were like fish starved of water, gulping down the cold, hard, damp and cold air.
A small green plane was parked in the open field, and at this time, the plane still had huge propellers exposed on the nose, and the wings were much shorter, more like a large toy airplane.
Today's weather is very cold, Yang Jinxin and Mrs. Qin both put on woolen coats, but bursts of cold wind poured directly into the hem of the calf, making them shiver from time to time.
"Mom, when you arrive in Hong Kong, call back, I will count the days, wait for your call, the journey from Hong Kong to the United States is long, you have to take care of your health, when you arrive in the United States, you must write back immediately."
Yang Jinxin held Mrs. Qin's hand tightly, these words, when I was in the Overseer's Mansion, I don't know how many times, but I can't say why, when I think of Mrs. Qin going to the United States by plane, Yang Jinxin always feels that her heart is beating hard, as if something is going to happen. But she also reminded herself that maybe it was just because her memory was still stuck in the kind of airplane in her previous life, so she reflexively worried about long-range flight in this era.
"It's not the first time I've been to the United States, the house maids over there are all ready-made, and there are housekeepers and sister-in-law Liu, but it's you, you stay here alone, how can I rest assured?"
Mrs. Qin also held her hand tightly, her face full of reluctance and worry, and Yang Jinxin smiled lightly to comfort her.
"Don't worry, the Japanese didn't come in so quickly, besides, there is Muyang on the front line, the worst, even if I go to Wuxi to find him, Director Zhao accompanies me, don't worry." When it comes to the day when I really can't hold it, whether I find my sister or not, I will go to the United States to reunite with you, don't worry! ”
It took Yang Jinxin five days to persuade Madame Qin to allow her to stay alone in the Overseer's Mansion, and her sister's whereabouts were still unknown. As soon as they left, Yang Jinxin was really the only one left in the Overseer's Mansion, and this time, even the housekeeper Qin Liang, Sister-in-law Liu, who had served in the mansion for half her life, and Qiuyue, the eldest maid who had been in the mansion since she was a child, all went to the United States with Mrs. Qin.
went to the United States with Mrs. Qin, as well as Fu Kui, her lower abdomen has been slightly bulging, although she has not officially held a wedding with Liao Yong, but she has worn a huge diamond ring on her hand, and her hair bun has been changed to a woman's appearance.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the plane officially took off, Mrs. Qin reluctantly said goodbye, Yang Jinxin watched Sister-in-law Liu help Mrs. Qin turn around and get on the plane step by step. Then there is Fu Kui, she is pregnant, her cheeks are a little rounder, she looks healthy and happy, Qiu Yue followed behind to take care of her, carefully helping her to board the plane. Behind him, there was Qin Liang with gray hair, his thin back was still straight and stiff, Yang Jinxin and he said to each other to take care, and they saw him get on the plane with resolute steps.
Until a long time later, Yang Jinxin often thinks of this scene, thinking of these, because of the war and uprooted her family, helplessly separated from her, although she has only been with them for a year, their voices and smiles have accompanied her throughout her life.
The plane rose into the air, the propeller made a huge roar, with a strong wind, almost blowing Yang Jinxin up, she kept waving her hand, looking at the green that symbolized life, flying farther and farther into the sky, and gradually disappeared into the vast sea of clouds.
Zhao Zhijun stood beside her, watching her stand in the wind, the corners of her clothes flying, her hair flying, she was so thin and pale, as if the next moment would be gone with the wind, she looked at the sky for a long time, the sadness and confusion in her eyes also turned into a thick mist with the clammy and cold air, lingering in the air for a long time.
"Madam, the wind is blowing!"
Zhao Zhijun couldn't bear to alarm her, but Yang Jinxin let out two low coughs that brought back his senses. His deep voice also brought back Yang Jinxin's heart, she turned to look at him, lowered her eyes slightly, her thick eyelashes flashed, paused, fumbled in her handbag for a moment, and then spread her hand towards him, and said slowly.
"Director Zhao, are you ...... Leave this to me! ”
Zhao Zhijun looked down and saw a small and delicate pistol lying in her white palm, which was the one Qin Muyang bought at the auction.
"Good!"
……
Time flickered, it was the winter moon, the last chrysanthemum in the garden had been gone, and an inconspicuous old plum tree was hung with snow-white buds.
The winter of the 22nd year of the Republic of China is officially coming!
As soon as Mrs. Qin arrived in Hong Kong, she called back, they were all right, but because of the war, the originally scheduled flight was temporarily canceled, and they had no choice but to change it to a ferry and decided to take a boat to the United States. But on the day of boarding, the ferry was also canceled, and they had no choice but to stay in Hong Kong, in the words of Mrs. Qin, they were destined to wait until Yang Jinxin went together.
However, the next day, news came that the Japanese army officially announced war against the United States, and so far, the entire war situation has completely deviated from the direction compared with the previous life, and the time of the full-scale outbreak of World War II has been four years earlier.
Yang Jinxin was even more at a loss, the war broke out early, which means that Jinling is also very likely to fall ahead of schedule, and now, his sister's whereabouts are still unknown......
When the war came, Yang Jinxin first thought of the servants of the Overseer's Mansion, so the day after the news came, Yang Jinxin paid each of them a decent salary, dismissed the remaining servants of the Overseer's Mansion, and told them to take refuge in the southwest.
Now, only Lao Wang is still staying in the Overseer's Mansion, and he is now a multi-tasker, not only to drive Yang Jinxin out to find Yang Jinhuan, but also temporarily part-time gardener, as soon as he returns to the mansion, he rushes the time to repair in the garden.
He said that no matter what, he could not let the dignified overseer's mansion appear to be half deserted.
In this month, Yang Jinxin searched almost all the streets and alleys of Jinling City, but there was still no news of Yang Jinhuan, Zhao Zhijun sent someone to Yueban Street, but he also returned empty-handed, and Yang Jinhuan seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Today, the first snow since the beginning of winter, the beginners in Jiangnan are still very beautiful, the plum trees in the garden are blooming, the elegant fragrance of flowers, with the fluttering snowflakes flying, wisps, refreshing.
The snow also hindered Yang Jinxin's travel, and the number of refugees in the city increased, and there was occasional chaos.
This snow has made the refugees, who are already short of food and clothing, even worse. In the morning, she went out on a trip, and the car moved two streets, and she encountered a group of refugees smashing and looting on the side of the street. Yang Jinxin had no choice but to go back.
"Madam, the phone number of the four less!"
Zhao Zhijun's eager voice came, so that Yang Jinxin, who was painting in the small living room, threw down the pen and ran out, Zhao Zhijun also came to meet him, his voice was extremely excited, and he strode Yang Jinxin to the attendant room.
"It was directly from the front line, and the matter couldn't be transferred to the hall urgently."
"No problem."
Yang Jinxin has always changed into cheongsam and high heels, often dressed in simple Chinese style, and the embroidered shoes on her feet today made her feel wind under her feet, and she trotted towards the attendant's room.
“…… Hey......"
Just this simple word made her throat hard, and she used all her strength, she clenched the hand of the phone, trembling slightly.
"Jinxin ......"
On the phone, a familiar and hoarse voice came, which made Yang Jinxin cry in an instant, her own feet were weak, and she had to prop her elbow on the table to support her sliding body, and cover her mouth with one hand to suppress her crying that was about to overflow.
"Don't cry ......"
Qin Muyang's voice came again, and he could feel his gentleness through the phone.
"Listen to me, now, you have to listen to Zhao Zhijun's arrangement, immediately leave for Hong Kong, and then transfer to the United States, Jinxin...... You must be obedient, okay? I asked people to find Jin Huan, no matter what, I will send her away, you believe me, okay? ”
“…… Muyang ......"
Yang Jinxin choked and screamed, tears surging down, and he was already crying when he opened his mouth again.
"Muyang...... Where are you? Are there any dangers...... What do you do? ”
"That's good! Jinxin ...... You call me by name, it's so nice! ”
"Woo......"
Yang Jinxin couldn't hold back crying anymore, and could only keep apologizing.
"I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
"Don't say you're sorry."
Qin Muyang on the other end said softly, and then he heard a huge explosion, which frightened Yang Jinxin and roared eagerly.
"Muyang...... Muyang ...... How are you? How could the explosion be so close to you, Mu Yang ......"
"I'm here!"
There was a rustling sound on the phone, as if he had shaken his head, and then his voice became urgent and solemn.
"Jinxin, you listen to me carefully now, and then, think about it and answer me."
"Good!"
"Wuxi, I can't hold it anymore, we are about to go to Songhu, these are exactly the same as your previous analysis, you can answer me with certainty, Songhu...... Is it true, and can't it be kept? Jinling ...... Will it really fall? ”
Yang Jinxin gasped heavily, her whole body was cold, her hands trembled violently, she couldn't hold the microphone anymore, and Zhao Zhijun next to her reached out to help her hold it.
"Jinxin, answer me!" On the phone, Qin Muyang's hoarse voice came again.
Yang Jinxin stabilized his mind, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, what I said, it will happen, so Muyang ...... You have to plan early, I'm waiting for you to come back, you have done so much to owe me, you must come back well and compensate me with the rest of your life......"
The sound of gunfire on the other end of the phone became more and more intensive, but Qin Muyang's chuckle was clearly heard on the phone.
"Good ......"
"Boom ......"
A deafening explosion came from the phone, and the shocking vibration could be felt through the wire.
"Muyang...... Feed...... Muyang ......"
Yang Jinxin fell heavily to the ground, which caught Zhao Zhijun off guard, and hurriedly bent down to help her, but Yang Jinxin grabbed her sleeve, and the whole person trembled violently, his face was pale, and his mouth was intermittent.
"There was an explosion...... Muyang ...... Muyang ...... Hurry up and ask...... Ask ......"
