CHAPTER XLII
On the winter night when it was still snowing, the cold wind rushed in, leaving a whimper, and the prison where there was no sunlight all year round was even more cold and biting, Yang Jinxin leaned on the cold iron pillar, his body tightly shrunk into a ball and shivered. All the students discarded the distinction between men and women and huddled together to keep their peers warm by their own body temperatures.
Yang Jinxin was crowded in the crowd, her head was groggy, she only felt that her breath was hot, but her body was shivering with cold, she knew that she should have a fever again.
Outside the high window was a dark sky, and the dim lights in the corridor inside the prison left a ray of yellow on the ground, and a few girls had begun to sob.
Yang Jinxin looked at the condition of the students, and felt uncomfortable for a while, this is a real thing happening in front of him, these students are not actors on TV, and no one will come to the rescue soon, whether you are injured or sick, everyone has to grit their teeth and persevere.
This made her miss Qin Muyang for the first time, and Yang Jinxin secretly thought that if he could come forward to release these innocent students, she would not blame him for the past.
Yang Jinxin only felt that in this dark and cold prison, it seemed as if a century had passed, surrounded by cold air, and he was vaguely in the ice cellar. Suddenly, from the corridor, there was the sound of the iron door opening in the distance, cold and harsh, as if two rusty saws were clashing, and then a strong white light shot in.
The drowsy students were awakened by the sound and the light, and then they heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and in harmony with the shouts.
"Teacher Hua! Mr. Hua! β
As the sound got closer and closer, the headlights in the prison turned on, and Yang Jinxin, like everyone, raised his hands to cover his eyes, and when his eyes adjusted to the light, he saw two young women dressed in gorgeous clothes, walking in one after the other.
Yang Jinxin recognized one of them, it was Qin Shuyao, the fifth lady of the Qin family, and saw her walking briskly in front, looking left and right at the cells on both sides, while shouting: "Teacher Hua, Teacher Hua......"
Hua Lingsheng, who was back to back across the iron fence from Yang Jinxin, naturally heard her voice, stood up with all her heart, and replied in a loud voice: "Are you looking for me?" β
His voice full of righteousness attracted special attention in the silent prison, and when he saw Qin Shuyao's face surprised, he ran over with his high heels, grabbed the iron door and asked with concern: "Teacher Hua, how are you?" Are there any injuries? β
As he spoke, he beckoned to the policeman following behind, "Open the door quickly, let the people out, hurry!" β
At this moment, the students in the prison began to shout, "Let us out, why arrest us, let us out......
This situation was beyond Qin Shuyao's expectations, he had no idea for a while, and was stunned in place, Hua Lingsheng saw this, and hurriedly comforted the student loudly, and then looked at Qin Shuyao and opened his mouth.
"Miss Qin, thank you for coming to the rescue, it's just, I hope, I can go out with my students, please convey our request to the government, me and my students, just do what we should do as Huaxia people! Please let us out immediately, and apologize to everyone who has been wronged this time! β
"No!" Yang Jinxin said in a hoarse voice, and resolutely interrupted his words, and saw her standing up with her holding on to the iron railing, "We only ask for freedom to be restored, and I also believe that after this incident, all walks of life, including everyone present, will be alert, please Miss Qin convey that we ask to be released from prison!" β
Qin Shuyao obviously recognized her as well, and looked at her in surprise, "You...... Yang Jinxin! β
"It's me!" Yang Jinxin smiled at her and nodded, "Please Miss Qin, help me convey what I just said!" β
Qin Shuyao looked at Yang Jinxin, and then at Hua Lingsheng, she was not just a rude and willful straw bag after all, and turned her head to look at the woman who came with her, "Sister Chu Yu, what do you think?" β
Only then did Yang Jinxin know that the one who came with her was the president's daughter, Qin Muyang's fiancΓ©e, Chu Yu. I saw that Chu Yu also frowned and lowered his head to think about it, and then looked up at Hua Lingsheng and Yang Jinxin for a moment.
"Can you represent everyone? You discuss a result, I will convey it to the top for you, as for whether it will work, it depends on the government's standards, but I believe that the government does not need to embarrass a group of unarmed students, Miss Qin and I are waiting for you outside, you have the answer, just call out. After Chu Yu finished speaking, he pulled Qin Shuyao, who turned back three times in one step, and walked out.
As soon as they turned around, the prison immediately turned into a pot of porridge, some people insisted on Hua Lingsheng's proposition, a small number agreed with Yang Jinxin's point of view, and the remaining majority were silent and did not express their position.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Hua Lingsheng opened his mouth first, saw that everyone was gradually quieting down, and then looked at Yang Jinxin, and said, "What I mean, I have already made it clear, and I believe that everyone knows why I made such a request, now let's listen to Yang first, and tell her reason." β
Yang Jinxin stroked her slightly hot face, looked around, and then said slowly: "Let's take a look at the classmates around you first, please take a look, how many of us are injured, how many of us are weak girls, and how many of us are only children in the family!" β
After Yang Jinxin said this, the surroundings fell silent for a moment, these are undoubted facts in front of him. She paused for a moment and continued, "I understand everyone's enthusiasm, but I also want everyone to understand that only by preserving ourselves first will we have more opportunities to fight!" So, I hope that you will seriously consider my suggestion, let's get out of here first, and in the future, we can unite more people and stronger forces to save our country, our homeland. β
Her words made all the students fall into deep thought, Yang Jinxin paused for a moment, waited until everyone was buffered, and then looked at Hua Lingsheng and said, "That's it, Teacher Hua, let's conduct a democratic vote and ask for everyone's opinions!" β
Hua Lingsheng looked at Yang Jinxin with divine eyes, nodded solemnly, and said in a loud voice: "We will vote by raising our hands now, everyone must listen to their own wishes, I will be the first!" β
After speaking, he slowly raised his right hand and said loudly: "I agree with classmate Yang's opinion!" β
β¦β¦
Yang Jinxin and a group of students helped each other out of the prison, the cold wind blowing on their faces like knives, and the fine and dense snow particles mixed with the wind knocked down. Yang Jinxin shrunk his neck and tightened his short jacket.
declined Qin Shuyao's kindness to send her home, she stopped a rickshaw at the door of the police station, Qin Shuyao still kindly gave her the fare, and Yang Jinxin, who was groggy, thanked her. After getting into the car, the driver asked her address, and Yang Jinxin was entangled.
"Let's go to Baijin Road!"
Yang Jinxin was woken up by the coachman, she really had no strength, she got out of the car tremblingly, and there was almost no way to walk in the cold wind. She leaned against the courtyard wall, moving forward little by little in the dark, never feeling that this alley had ever been so long.
Finally, when I finally walked to the gate of the courtyard, I heard a hoarse but familiar voice coming from the snowstorm.
"Jinxin? Is that you? Jinxin! β
This shallow voice rippled in Yang Jinxin's heart like a stormy wave, and her eyes widened in disbelief, looking not far ahead, the tall figure that went deep into the bone marrow stood in the wind and snow, looking straight over.
Yang Jinxin looked at him, her vision gradually blurred, and the sharp pain hit from the depths of her heart, and it was like a silk thread wrapped around her heart, getting tighter and tighter, and she was almost out of breath.
Before she could react, she was embraced by her warm arms, and a slightly crying male voice trembled in her ear, whispering her name.
"Jinxin! Jinxin! β
Yang Jinxin stretched out her hand in a daze, hugging his tall back, feeling that her face was about to burn her skin, and the name that had been hidden in her heart for a long time finally broke out.
"Winter ......"
The next day, the snow finally stopped after a day and a night, and the warm sunlight shone into the glass window, casting on Yang Jinxin's left cheek, like a mother's gentle hand, gently caressing and waking her up. Yang Jin opened his eyes in a daze, looked at the familiar shelf bed above his head, and was stunned for a long time before he remembered that he had returned to the compound from the police station last night.
Only then did she wake up, sit up with her arms propped up, and look around the room. The familiar person last night, the familiar embrace, was it just a beautiful dream because of his deep thoughts? Yang Jinxin thought like this, and the sense of loss that surged from the bottom of her heart made her lower her head.
"Jinxin, you're awake!"
The curtain of the door was opened, and the person who had been thinking about it for a long time came in from the outside with a tea tray, he lost a lot of weight, but looking at her, it was still the pair of eyes that were gentle like water, and it was still the smile that was so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes.
Yang Jinxin watched him walk towards him, and tears flowed down his eyes......
When Huo Dong came to see her wake up, he was also full of emotion in his heart, but more than that, he felt guilty from the depths of his heart. He hesitated, but still stepped forward, put the tea tray on the table, poured a glass of water and sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at her deeply, and said.
"You're sick and have a fever all night, drink some water to moisten your throat first!" As he spoke, he brought the teacup in his hand to her mouth.
Seeing Yang Jinxin in tears, just looking at himself motionless, Huo Donglai felt distressed for a while, barely pulled up a smile, and said, "You drink some water first, then you have the strength to scold me, right?" β
"You...... Why didn't you come? Yang Jinxin's voice was hoarse, and it took a lot of effort to ask the answer she had always wanted.
Huo Donglai slowly lowered his head, panting heavily, he didn't say anything for a long time, Yang Jinxin only looked at him, she was eager to know the answer.
"Why didn't you come?"
"I'm waiting for you, why didn't you come?"
"I've been waiting for you, no matter how late it is, I'll wait for you, why didn't you come?"
Huo Donglai listened to her questions one after another, his heart ached like a knife, he covered his chest and bent down deeply, only to feel that the hand in his heart that was holding him tightly made him almost out of breath.
For a long time, all the distress and guilt in my heart finally turned into three words.
"I'm sorry!"
