Chapter 42: Out of the City
Shen Mengxi stood still, looked back suspiciously, didn't see an acquaintance, and walked again.
"Zhang Jiayu!" This time, a few dozen meters away on the side of the road, a soldier stood next to a car and waved at her. Shen Mengxi looked at his outfit, it was hard for him to recognize it.
"Where's Miss Zhang's luggage?" Approaching, it turned out to be Adjutant Qi, who had supervised her targeting, and he looked at the small backpack behind Shen Mengxi suspiciously.
"Nope. You didn't run? Shen Mengxi stood still, not wanting to move forward.
"The young marshal ordered me to pick you up at school, the teachers and students all took the extra train out of the city in the early morning, and I went crazy looking for you everywhere! Finally, I came to the train station again, and I really found it! Get in the car! Adjutant Qi said with some joy.
"Huh!" Shen Mengxi laughed from his nose, "Don't dare to work for the Northeast Army, you better leave quickly, the imperial army will take over Shenyang City in a while, your military uniform, it will not be good if you are caught!" ”
Adjutant Qi was stunned for a moment, extremely frustrated, and slammed the roof of the car with his hand, "I can't wait to rush to the front line immediately and kill all the little Japan!" But the military order is like a mountain, and all the weapons and ammunition in Shenyang have been blocked and transported away! Do we fight with our fists? The commander of the second regiment rushed up with his brothers, pried the arsenal, and rushed up against the military order, if they didn't die in battle, they wouldn't come back! Miss Zhang! Come with me! The brothers fought hard for several hours, and it was really too late if they didn't leave! The little adjutant shed tears and shouted at Shen Mengxi.
Shen Mengxi opened the car door when he heard this, and sat in the passenger seat, "Drive!" ”
The train whistled and another southbound train departed.
Adjutant Qi honked the horn all the way, but the speed of the car still couldn't be raised.
There were two people on the side of the road who were very conspicuous, the man was in his forties, full of bookishness, wearing a pair of round glasses, the woman was in her sixties, with gray hair, well-dressed, and the man pulled the old lady to get up, but the old lady desperately refused, as if he wanted him to run for his life.
"Stop!" Shen Mengxi rolled down the window, "Get in the car!" ”
"Ah, Mother! There's a car! Get up! The man turned around and bowed, "Thank you, thank you!" ”
Shen Mengxi ignored Adjutant Qi's reluctance, got out of the car and helped the old lady sit in the back.
Less than 100 meters ahead, I met a young woman running with a baby in her arms and a big burden behind her, staggered a few steps and fell to the ground, the moment she touched the ground, she supported her body with her elbows to avoid the baby being injured, "Stop!" Before the car stopped, Shen Mengxi got out of the car and helped the woman up, letting their mother and daughter get into the car.
"Okay, Miss Zhang, our car is overcrowded, we can't get on the people anymore, and there is not much gasoline, can you stop messing around and be kind?" In front of those people, Adjutant Qi lowered his face.
"Okay, okay, you drive quickly, Lord Qi!"
Before leaving the city, there were still two and a half old boys stuffed in the trunk, and when they fled, they were separated from their families and stood at the intersection and cried.
Adjutant Qi drove the car speechlessly, without saying a word.
If it's a train, it's okay, but it's too difficult to drive on the road, and there are still many people on the road. There were many miserable ones that were worse than the three in the car, and Shen Mengxi had to close his eyes, feeling extremely painful in his heart.
The more I walked, the fewer people in front of me, the speed of the car gradually increased, and at noon, I got out of the car to rest and eat, Adjutant Qi looked in the direction of Shenyang, and his eyes were red.
"Manchuria is lost." His voice was hoarse, and a tear flowed from his young face.
"This opening is opened, and it will approach step by step in the future, and then invade Nanjing and Shanghai, so that the whole of China ......"
Adjutant Qi looked at Shen Mengxi suddenly, as if he was surprised, and seemed to blame her for her cruelty.
"This is temporary, once the Nationalist Government recovers its strength, it will soon take back Manchuria!"
"One soldier bears, one bear!"
"Don't let you say that, young marshal!" Those who call Zhang Hanqing like this should be people who have followed him for many years.
"Am I not right? The Northeast Army is willing to fight a civil war, and when it fights the Chinese, it sends 100,000 troops, but when it resists aggression, it has to preserve its troops? Is the 20,000 Kwantung Army scared you? Finished! Cowardice! Shen Mengxi was also excited, and several families who were eating the food brought out on the side of the road looked at them in shock.
"Fuck you! I don't care, you can walk into the customs by yourself! "Adjutant Qi is young and vigorous, he almost didn't beat people, he stomped his feet and drove away.
Less than fifty meters, he stopped and threw down the luggage of those people and drove away again.
Several people hurriedly chased after each other, picked up their luggage, and looked at each other without tears.
"At this time, how can you mess with him!" The woman holding the child said angrily.
"I messed with him when I let you in the car." Shen Mengxi looked at her and said coldly.
The young woman choked and couldn't help but say, "What's the matter, what a problem!" ”
"What happened when you didn't get on the bus, what will happen in the future!"
The man with glasses is very knowledgeable about current affairs, "Thank you very much, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to take my mother out of the city safely." Then he reassured the young woman, "Go slowly, and go to a place where there is a railway, and it will be fine." "I didn't say a word about the sensitive topic I just heard.
The young woman muttered as she picked up the tossed baggage.
Two and a half children, who didn't bring anything with them, were so hungry that they were in tears, and Shen Mengxi couldn't take out too many things in his small backpack, so he said to the man with glasses, "Can you give the two children a little steamed buns, and I will return you back." ”
"Okay." The man with glasses didn't hesitate to get the steamed buns.
"What else? We didn't even pay the fare, Dongjun, give each of the two children a steamed bun. The old lady said in the back.
The two children took the steamed bun and devoured it.
"Eat slowly." Shen Mengxi noticed that there was not much food in the glasses man's baggage.
The two children fell on deaf ears.
"Eat slowly!" Shen Mengxi shouted: "No one grabbed it, why did you eat it so quickly, now it's all eaten, I don't know if there is one at night!" Didn't you count it in your heart? ”
Both children stopped chewing, remembered their fate, and tears fell on the steamed buns.
A few people hastily finished lunch and introduced each other.
The man with glasses is called Jin Dongjun, and he didn't say anything about his career, but Shen Mengxi looked at the old lady's posture and suspected that he was a Manchu surname; When the young woman, Ma Chen, fled from the city, the family did not have enough chariots and horses, and together with a concubine who also gave birth to a daughter, she was left behind by her in-laws, and they fled with their other children and grandchildren; Two boys, one is 11 years old named Yu Fugui and the other is 9 years old named Yu Jingui. The family was in the grain and oil business, and they were scattered by the crowd on the street, and in the blink of an eye, they could not find the family's mule cart, and they waited at the street entrance for half an hour, and finally cried loudly. Shen Mengxi saw that they had all left half a steamed bun and put it in his arms, so he smiled and ordered them to help the old lady and the young woman carry things.
Although Mrs. Jin is not small-footed, but she is older, and she is out of breath after walking two hundred meters, Jin Dongjun squatted down and carried her on her back, and the old lady began to chant again, asking her son to throw her down and quickly flee for her life, of course Jin Dongjun refused, and insisted on walking with her on his back.
Shen Mengxi took the burden in his hand. I was a little irritable in my heart, I was a little impulsive just now, and when was it time to speak quickly.
"Girl, you go first, don't worry about the drag of the mu." The old lady was on her son's shoulder and said suddenly.
Shen Mengxi looked at the old lady and smiled, "I'm scared when I walk by myself!" ”
The old lady laughed too.
Listening to Jin Dongjun, there is Liaozhong City in front, and I don't know how long it will take to get there. The sun shone fiercely on the earth, and there was only a little bit of their water left in Jin Dongjun's water bag, and everyone didn't dare to drink it.
It was getting late, and I saw Liaozhong City from afar. The temperature dropped slightly, and there was hope in their hearts, and several people encouraged each other to move forward.
A car drove up behind, kicking up dust and choking the baby. Ma Chen hurriedly coaxed the child, sat on the side of the road, lifted the placket and breastfed the child. Several people turned their heads and sat down on the side of the road to rest.
The soles of Shen Mengxi's feet, who have been exercising all year round, also blistered, not to mention the other people, the two boys had already eaten up the remaining steamed buns, there was no water, their eyes were straight, and they beat each other's backs and chests.
After feeding, a few people continued to walk, and saw from a distance that the car that had just passed was parked at the gate of the city, and several people with rifles were interrogating, and a person got out of the car, negotiating with them, and suddenly heard a "pop" sound, Shen Mengxi and several people stood up suddenly, only to see the person who got out of the car covered his chest and fell down, a woman in the car screamed and got down, and a young man pounced on the fight, and two more gunshots rang out, and the two fell to the ground and did not move.
One person threw a rifle, pulled the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and did not see the car move for a long time, so a few people simply pushed the car into the city gate.
Shen Mengxi looked at each other, and they all silently chose to hide in the grass on the side of the road.
Jin Dongjun whispered: "We have to go into the city, otherwise we will be separated from here, those are the two devils just now, and they are more hateful than the real devils!" ”
At sunset, there was a mule cart coming from the direction of coming, and Shen Mengxi estimated that the large army out of the city was about to come up, but the city gate was about to close. After discussing it, they decided to follow the mule cart into the city to try it out.
As soon as the mule cart passed, several people got into the dust from which the mule had stepped out, and followed the cart towards the city gate.
When the mule cart stopped, the man nodded and gave a handful of money, and the two men carried two more sacks of grain from the mule cart before putting them in.
When Shen Mengxi and his group arrived, the people who looked at the city gate were already very impatient, one person slowly closed the door, one person pulled Ma Chen's burden, and pulled a few clothes, she reluctantly screamed, and was secretly kicked by Shen Mengxi and stopped.
The man saw that the old lady Jin had an extraordinary bearing, and he wanted them to be more, staring at the old lady's dress, smiling dryly, and shaking his hands.
Jin Dongjun hurriedly raised his hand to pat it, the man closed his hand and accepted it, his fingers twisted, his face was not worried, Jin Dongjun raised his hand again, this time, it looked a little better, when he arrived at Shen Mengxi, he had seen her documents, pinched and didn't return it, and groaned, Shen Mengxi took out a pen and nail clippers from his small backpack, "Let the two of you laugh, my husband and I got separated, I didn't get on the train, I just took the road, there is no silver on my body, these two things are given to the two, although they are not very valuable, but they are all imported goods, these two boys are my servants, you raise your hand and let us go into the city." ”
The two glanced at things, their eyes lit up, and they looked at Shen Mengxi's deflated backpack unwillingly, regretfully returned the documents, waved their hands, and let them in, and the city gate was closed.
A few people finally entered the city, all of them disgraced.
The city is also half empty, Shenyang is lost, how many days can it last here? The two who blocked the door with guns were just two devils blocking the road and robbing them.
