Chapter 43: Out of the City

On their way through the city, they filled water bags and jugs and found a wheelbarrow, but found no food.

Shen Mengxi disappeared alone for a while, brought back a bag of steamed buns, and a bag of sauce meat wrapped in oiled paper, and several people sat under the eaves of a ready-to-wear shop, smearing and eating indiscriminately.

Jin Dongjun tried several times, but failed,—— he had never pushed a wheelbarrow, and the rest couldn't, Shen Mengxi sent the two boys of the Yu family to the south gate to see the situation, and the rest sat down to rest.

An hour later, the two boys came back and said that the gates of the city were full of people, waiting to leave the city tomorrow. Shen Mengxi was strange, and the two children said that someone had closed the city gate in advance, locked people up, and collected the city fee tomorrow morning.

Jin Dongjun couldn't help but scold, and Ma Chen cried, "Search again, I'm really gone." ”

Shen Mengxi also sighed.

Finally, he said: "Tomorrow, no matter what, do not clash with the defenders of the city, and I cannot do anything that sacrifices my life and money." After speaking, he looked at Ma Chen, Ma Chen wiped his tears, nodded in response, and was busy stuffing a few important things into his clothes. The child had already slept, the mosquito flew over, biting the baby's tender skin, the child cried a few times, Ma Chen looked at the door of the ready-to-wear store, and said, "Let's go in!" ”

Kim Dong-jun hesitated and did not speak. Shen Mengxi thought about it for a while, and asked the Yu brothers to find something and smash the lock.

Today they don't smash it, tomorrow the day after tomorrow they will have their own Japanese smash.

Entering the house and bolting the door, Shen Mengxi's flashlight attracted the attention of the two boys, who scrambled to search for mosquito coils, and finally found a plate of mosquito coils, lit them, and the children finally fell asleep.

Leaning on the counter and squinting for a while, Shen Mengxi suddenly woke up, her heart was inexplicably unsteady, she woke up Jin Dongjun, discussed with him, and finally the two decided to take everyone to the city gate, Shen Mengxi handed over a bag of ocean to Jin Dongjun, and asked Ma Chen's to pay, she slowly took out a big ocean from her arms, and looked very painful. Shen Mengxi couldn't help but take it and put it in Jin Dongjun's hand, Jin Dongjun also took out ten oceans, divided all the money into two parts, and handed it over to Jin Dongjun to use to dot the city gate.

Shen Mengxi changed into clothes in the store, and several people woke up the child, abandoned the wheelbarrow, and walked towards the city gate.

As soon as they approached the crowd, someone stopped them and forbade them to cut in line, Shen Mengxi sighed.

It's just that I was scratching my heart and liver, so I found a good-looking handlebar style to inquire, and it turned out that the city gate in front was guarded by someone with a gun.

"Can't you just let us go if you give us the money now?"

"No, the chief is tired, so he went home and went to sleep. These few gatekeepers don't count. The handlebar said sadly. The crowd crackled with mosquitoes, snoring, children's cries, and chattering.

Shen Mengxi wanted Jin Dongjun to go to the door to check the gatekeepers, but he was stopped by the people in line several times.

Several people had to line up at the end of the line and sit down. Ma Chen began to muttered again, the good shop doesn't sleep, but wants to sleep on the side of the road, and the child has bitten his face.

Shen Mengxi covered the child's mouth and nose and sprayed a few mosquito repellent waters, "You shut up for me, if you don't want to follow me, you can go back to the shop you like now!" ”

Ma Chen immediately stopped, and sat down on the ground like a quail.

Shen Mengxi sat quietly, without any sleep. Today, Shenyang City should have changed hands, and the places that could be robbed were probably robbed, thinking that they couldn't find any property in the Marshal's Mansion, Shen Mengxi couldn't help but smile.

Since there is no resistance, the city should not be slaughtered. The Japanese have long regarded Manchuria as meat on a plate, occupied the northeast, and will set up schools to let the children of the Chinese learn Japanese and become their obedient people.

Today's Liaozhong City is also a soldier who goes to the empty city, causing the two devils to be rampant, strictly speaking, this small city has also fallen.

Shen Mengxi quietly asked Jin Dongjun, "Can you still sit on the train now?" ”

"Oh? It's hard to say, if you can start, it should be crowded. In fact, Shen Mengxi also thought so.

"Why don't we try again?" In the end, he will not give up.

"We won't go, my mother won't be able to squeeze in anyway, they," Kim Dongjun pointed to the rest, "they can't go up." Go by yourself, don't take care of us, we are very much appreciated! ”

Ma Chen heard it in a daze and shouted: "You are gone, what are we doing!" Hello people do it to the end, help us! After saying that, kneeling and kowtowing, the people around them woke up and looked at them.

Someone shouted: "I have to hurry tomorrow, what kind of mourning if I don't sleep!" ”

Ma Chen whimpered and cried, the little baby cried whimpering, and there were more people scolding, Shen Mengxi had no choice but to take the child, coaxing her while strolling, "Don't cry, don't cry." He took out a small bottle from his backpack, which was filled with milk, regardless of whether it was hot or cold, and stuffed it into the child's mouth, the child drank it in a big gulp, and the swallowing sound was very clear at night, Shen Mengxi hummed a lullaby in disguise, and walked away into the distance.

After the child was full and fell asleep, Shen Mengxi returned the child to Ma Chen's and said softly to Jin Dongjun: "Mr. Jin, I am restless tonight, I don't want to stay here, there is always a feeling of sitting still, I still have to go to the train station to try, you go to the train station with me!" ”

Jin Dongjun shook his head, "Life and death are fate, I am always with my mother." Let's go! ”

Mrs. Jin cried and whispered to him to follow and leave herself alone. Jin Dongjun also said softly: "Eniang, if you go to the train station, you may not be able to leave, let's wait here honestly." ”

Ma Chen pulled Shen Mengxi's sleeve, and Shen Mengxi brushed his sleeves ruthlessly, "I only said that I would go with me, and I didn't say who I was responsible for." ”

In the end, Shen Mengxi took Ma Chen's mother and daughter and the Yu family brothers to the train station, but when they arrived at the station, they were dumbfounded, there was no train.

Ma Chen started crying again, and when she cried, the child also cried.

A few people were about to return to the city gate, when a whistle sounded, a train came by, slowed down and stopped, and dozens of people ran to the train from nowhere. Shen Mengxi looked in from the window, and the carriage was crowded. The door of the car did not open, only a few people got up and down on the front of the car, adding water, supplies, throwing garbage, Shen Mengxi walked over, grabbed a person and asked, the person was quite impatient, "Go south, go to Beijing, the last trip, the door is not open, and there is no one to go up!" ”

"Can it be good, take a few of us, I can give you all the money on my body, Shen Mengxi took out a part of the ocean that Jin Dongjun stuffed back and stuffed it to the staff member, the man hesitated, "There is really no place." “

"Ma Chen, don't take out your money yet!" Shen Mengxi pretended to scold Ma Chen.

"Ah, you're Mrs. Shen! You're the benefactor of my family! ”

Suddenly, he heard a person shouting at the front of the car, and his vision was limited in the night, and Shen Mengxi couldn't tell who it was and who he was talking to. Still begging the man.

The shouting person got out of the car, grabbed Shen Mengxi and shouted: "It's you!" Da Liu, this is my daughter's life-saving benefactor, let her get in the car! ”

"This is against the rules, and the Japanese will be punished if they know it!"

"Punish me for carrying it! Definitely not bothering you! Shen Mengxi finally remembered who this benefactor was, it turned out that it was Li Huixian's father who met him in Harbin City. He said that he worked for the railway bureau and used to be a train driver.

"Will it hurt you?" Shen Mengxi suddenly couldn't bear it, and an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart.

This man is handsome, and Li Huixian's appearance is eighty percent with him, that is to say, Shen Mengxi's appearance is also with him.

In the midst of the chaos, Shen Mengxi almost cried.

"No, no, get in the car!" He urged Shen Mengxi and a few people to get on the train with the supply personnel, and said to the conductor, "Lao Hu, this is my own sister, it was easy to escape, I want to go to Beijing, you can arrange it." ”

"Done! Leave it to me! "The conductor named Lao Hu is very bold.

"Thank you for going back, I'm going to drive!" After speaking, the person hurriedly ran towards the front of the car, turned around and shouted: "Don't be afraid, Lao Hu is a good person!" ”

Lao Hu nodded, "There are a lot of people!" ”

Shen Mengxi smiled embarrassedly, "This is the wet nurse and the three children, causing trouble to Brother Hu." Shen Mengxi quietly put the three oceans in his hands. Lao Hu generally pushed back with hot hands, "Hey, I didn't mean that!" ”

Shen Mengxi explained with a smile, "The money for the ticket supplement." ”

Lao Hu picked it up and let them get into the car. A bunch of people behind him also wanted to squeeze up, but they were stopped by Lao Hu Lian's pulling, Shen Mengxi gritted his teeth and didn't look back, and lowered his head to get into the car.

They were taken into the dining cart, which was already full of people, and they looked neatly dressed, and they were not very embarrassed except for a little panic on their faces.

Lao Hu was not good at arranging for a while, and looked at the passengers in embarrassment, planning to pick a suitable person and let them squeeze a seat out, but he was afraid of hitting a hard nail.

Shen Mengxi hurriedly said, "Let's just sit at the door." ”

"How's that going to work!" Lao Hu seemed to be very faceless, and walked to the seat where four student-like people were sitting in a few steps, "You guys squeeze and let the two seats come out!" ”

"Why did you let it, we all bought tickets!" A student loudly refused, and the whole carriage looked over.

"Let you, you will! What's wordy? You can't buy a ticket for a dining car! When it comes to this carriage, it's up to me! ”

"You're still unreasonable!"

"What's the reason? Let me tell you, you have a high idea to get on this train! This is the last train that can get out of the Northeast, and whoever doesn't want to take it should go down as soon as possible! Lao Hu glared and pointed at the student with his finger, "Why are you still telling me?" ”

A few people grabbed the student and didn't let him continue the theory, and the four of them moved to the window, letting Shen Mengxi and Ma Chen sit down, while the Yu brothers stood beside them, Lao Hu was satisfied, "Big sister, you just sit down!" When it's dawn, we'll have dinner! Shen Mengxi thanked again and again. Lao Hu straightened his hat and walked out with his head held high.

Shen Mengxi looked at the four young men in student attire, "I'm sorry, we got on the bus halfway and squeezed your place, if it weren't for the children, we wouldn't have bothered you." After speaking, Shen Mengxi stood up, Ma Chen was stunned and didn't know what to do, and he wanted to stand up, but Shen Mengxi pressed her.

The four students were also embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, you can sit, it is better to sit in a crowded seat than those carriages in front." ”

"No, it's faster to stand loose."

At this time, it was getting dark, and one of the boys suddenly stared at Shen Mengxi with a strange face, "You, you, you, it's Zhang ......."

Shen Mengxi hurriedly booed and asked in a low voice, "Dongda?" ”

Several students nodded their heads.

Shen Mengxi smiled, "It's too coincidental." ”

The boy who was theorizing just now didn't know Shen Mengxi, and when he heard the classmate next to him whisper that this was the school's German professor, his face was flushed, and he apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry professor, it's too dark for me to recognize you." ”

"Nothing. I don't know you either. Shen Mengxi smiled.

The student stood up and asked Shen Mengxi to sit down, and he stood in the hallway.

"I heard that the teachers and classmates were pulled away by additional trains."

"Yes, Principal Luo contacted the train that night and took away all the teachers and students, and some of the documents and equipment were also taken away. Our family is from Shenyang and wants to be with our relatives, but our parents are reluctant to leave the family business, so they only let us follow the school to Beiping. A few of us got together, and I didn't know how they were placed, so I found you! ”

Shen Mengxi smiled bitterly, "I don't know anything either!" ”

In the morning, Lao Hu sent four steamed buns, and he was quite surprised to see them talking happily, "Then I'll rest assured, big sister." And said mysteriously: "You are really blessed, this festival got on the car, just now in Jinzhou received a call, saying that Liaozhong didn't know what was going on last night, there was a fight, it was a gun and a cannon, who fought with whom I don't know, anyway, I can't die old and young." ”

Ma Chen covered his mouth with a sigh. Shen Mengxi also sighed.
