Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Zhang's Shelter

Shen Mengxi once asked Wang Shouqing what he said in a coma, Wang Shouqing completely described the situation in the air-raid shelter, when he said the sentence "Lao Wang, you are going to die behind me", his expression was a little smug "Jiayu, I know that you are the most hard-mouthed woman, you have always had me in your heart, I understand your scruples, I don't force you, you can do whatever you like, just don't be too bitter about yourself." “

Shen Mengxi is so embarrassed, this old king is not the old king.

However, although Wang Shouqing was affectionate and reluctant to leave, he still took the initiative to apply to return to the battlefield and went to the Changsha Theater.

Shen Mengxi also admired his patriotic enthusiasm, at least he was worthy of the general star on his shoulders.

She still hand-sewed the cloth with the body armor and gave it to Wang Shouqing. And Wang Shouqing stuffed the key to his house into her hand and asked her to keep it.

When Wang Shouqing was fine, Shen Mengxi didn't care about him very much, and she didn't think about going further with him, but once he went to the front line and was deeply involved, she began to worry about him again. Shen Mengxi didn't know what kind of psychology this was, but he suddenly understood why some people like to be ambiguous. The kind of relationship that is inexplicable, irresponsible, and attractive turns out to have its charm.

Zhang Jiaxuan's house was quickly repaired, and layers of bamboo poles were erected on the roof of the building, and from a distance, every household was like this, and it is estimated that the bamboo on the nearby mountains has been cut down.

Air raids do not happen every day, sometimes once every few months, sometimes several times a month, but the days have to go on, and you can't walk around the door of the bomb shelter every day.

Shen Mengxi's left shoulder has not healed yet, so she went to work, she is not a workaholic, she just doesn't want to be idle at home, the whole city is in full swing to repair her home, she doesn't want to stay at home, play mahjong with her neighbor's wife with one hand.

The wound on the left shoulder was poked by a branch, almost penetrating, a bit like the meaning of the ancient punishment of locking the pipa bone, every time the dressing was changed, it was tortured once, and the cotton swab was wrapped in gauze and stretched into the wound, Zhang Jiaxuan saw that it was difficult to breathe, and every time it was more painful than Shen Mengxi. Wang Shouqing has seen it a few times, and he also said that he would rather hurt himself. Shen Mengxi endured the pain, but also comforted them, glad that he didn't hurt his bones and wasn't hit by bomb fragments.

As soon as Wang Shouqing went to the front line, she went to the hospital, and her colleagues took good care of her, as long as she didn't use her left hand, there was no problem at all. Although Zhang Jiaxuan disagreed, he went to work with his front foot, and Shen Mengxi also went to work with his back foot.

As a result, on the first day she went to work, she brought five orphans with her, Zhang Jiaxuan looked at the five poor children in a daze, "What do you mean, can't the orphanage be accommodated?" ”

"The orphanage is overcrowded, I brought it back temporarily, they don't have parents and no food and shelter, it's so pitiful."

Then, the owner of the house, Zhang Jiaxuan, watched his sister enter the bathroom with her five children.

A week later, she brought back four more children one after another, and Zhang Jiaxuan was so sad that her hair turned white.

Most of these children are from poor families, they are all three to seven or eight years old, they are very timid in the Zhang family, always looking at Zhang Jiaxuan's face and acting, dare not speak loudly, never run around, and even think of their parents and dare not cry.

"Fourth brother, why do I look at you with kind eyebrows, but the children are afraid of you like a tiger?" Shen Mengxi asked Zhang Jiaxuan when he was eating.

"Eat me, drink me, and don't forget to squeeze me, that is, you." Zhang Jiaxuan pushed the rice bowl, "The rice is not fragrant." Jiayu, the government has built two new orphanages, so send them all when the time comes, go to see them often, and receive some money and food, but it is not very convenient to bring them home. ”

Shen Mengxi snorted, and said with self-pity, "Alas, no matter how good my mother's family is, it's not my own home, I'm annoying." ”

Zhang Jiaxuan cut off and ignored her.

Nine children lived in the guardhouse, living in two beds sideways, and Shen Mengxi found them new clothes, braided the girls, and told them stories.

Usually when she goes to work, the children sit in the yard, looking at the sky, not running or making trouble, they know that at this time, this doctor Zhang took them in and gave them food, which saved them. If they make the gentleman angry, they will probably end up on the streets again, and if there is a bombing, they will blow up into several pieces like the rest of the family, and then die.

Shen Mengxi came back from work, and every time he saw their obedient appearance, his heart ached faintly.

On this day, the nurse called Shen Mengxi and said that someone was looking for her at the gate, Shen Mengxi thought it was Hongzhi, and went out to take a look, but it was Lin Huiya's family who dragged the family, she was surprised and delighted, and sighed, "Why are you!" Hurry up, come home with me! ”

This group of refugees is Lin Huiya's family of four, as well as Jin Yuelong and a young man from Chengdu. It turned out that Chengdu was also frequently bombed, and although there were not many bombings in Yibin, where they lived, there was no decent warning, and they often hid only when they heard the roar of the planes.

Lin Huiya's face was sick, and Shen Mengxi frowned, so she couldn't help but say that she would take her to the hospital for examination first.

It's actually a recurrence of an old disease. Lin Huiya was born weak, on the way to escape, she caught a cold several times, and repeatedly made her physique even weaker, and she was bombed by another plane, and was shocked to vomit blood, which finally led to the recurrence of the old disease.

There are no good medicines in Yibin, which is one of the reasons why they came to Chongqing.

Lin Huiya was directly admitted to the hospital, Shen Mengxi returned to Zhang's house with five people, Zhang Jiaxuan thought that he was an orphan and a homeless person, and when he heard his sister's introduction, it was actually the famous Liang Gongzi, and he was quickly politely let to the house.

Shen Mengxi was also completely convinced of Jin Yuelong's persistence in following Lin Huiya's footsteps,—— he didn't even relax when he fled.

"Without Yue Long, our family wouldn't have been able to go to Sichuan." Liang Chengru came out of washing, and he was a humble gentleman, but he was very thin, he sat down and talked to Zhang Jiaguang about their experience of fleeing.

Jin Yuelong smiled and waved his hand. Along the way, he should have endured a lot of hardships, his cheeks were sunken, his expression was haggard, and he didn't know what pain and torture he had experienced.

The Sichuan young man's name was Huang Jinfang, a friend he met in Yibin, and he was alone, so he simply followed them to Chongqing and helped a lot along the way.

Liang Chengru saw that the Zhang family had taken in a group of orphans, so he immediately proposed to Zhang Jiaguang that he would help him find a place to live, either buying or renting. Zhang Jiaxuan agreed, and let them live in Zhang's house with peace of mind first, the house is very big and can be lived in completely.

It was like giving Lin Huiya and his party a dismount, they had just arrived in Chongqing, and an air raid was ushered in in the afternoon.

The alarm sounded suddenly, making Shen Mengxi's heart suddenly tighten, and a red lantern was hung in the distance, everyone simply cleaned up, brought some food and water, Shen Mengxi asked the children to count, and then rushed into the Changling air-raid shelter.

There was such a group of people in the Zhang family's hulala, which made the neighbors very curious, and they didn't pay much attention to the orphans, but when they heard that it was Liang Gongzi, they immediately came over and shook hands. Later, they simply sat around and talked.

Bingbing sat beside Shen Mengxi, her little brow furrowed, the ten-year-old girl was worried about her mother's condition. The explosion sounded, Bingbing's little face turned pale, and she hugged her younger brother Ah Ping tightly, Ah Ping cried, clamoring for her mother, Shen Mengxi hurriedly hugged the two of them and comforted them, her mother was in the air-raid shelter in the hospital, she would be fine, and as soon as the air raid passed, they could go to visit her.

The explosions sounded one after another, and the orphans sat together, their little bodies trembling, I am afraid that in this life, the trauma they suffered in their hearts will not really disappear.

Even Shen Mengxi, when he heard the explosion at this moment, couldn't help but worry that he would be blown into the sky again in the next second.
