After the fall of Wuhan, Chairman Jiang also moved to Chongqing, and then all the focus of the Nationalist Government shifted to the southwest, and Chongqing faced more intensive bombing.

Air defense units and protection regiments have erected shelves at many heights, with several ropes on them, and on each rope hangs a large lantern with a diameter of more than one meter, divided into red and green colors; when the warning alarm sounds, a red lantern is hung on the shelf, when the air raid alarm is sounded, two red lanterns are hung, and when the emergency alarm is sounded, three red lanterns are hung.

When the Japanese planes fly over Chongqing, the three red lanterns will be lowered at the same time, and when the air raid sirens are lifted, or when the interval between the two air raids is long, a green lantern will be hung on the shelf, and people can breathe from the air raid shelter.

The initial bombing was a few planes flying by, dropping a few bombs high on the tall buildings and leaving.

People have also gone from being highly nervous and fearful to being numb and indifferent. Many people think that air raids and bombings are like that, and they often have to wait until all three red lanterns are hung up before they can find a place to hide.

On 3 May, the Japanese planes came very quickly, and it took only 10 minutes from the early warning to the hoisting of the three red lanterns. At this time, Shen Mengxi was working in the hospital, and when she heard the alarm sound, she and the nurse quickly transferred the patient to the air-raid shelter.

This time the plane flew very low, Shen Mengxi looked back, there was a lot of pressure, a scream sounded, followed by the explosion of the bomb landing, one after another, mixed with screams and shouts, and suddenly, the world just now became hell.

Shen Mengxi helped a patient, and only had time to run to the door of the air-raid shelter when he felt a wave of air pushing him, and the whole person flew up, and then he didn't know anything.

In a daze, she only felt that someone was holding her hand tightly, and the noise in her ears was terrible. She turned her head away in annoyance, but felt that her head weighed a thousand pounds.

I felt that I was fed water in my mouth, it was very sweet, and my consciousness slowly returned, and the first feeling was that it hurt!

There is no pain everywhere in the body.

The sun shone on her eyelids, and she slowly opened them, and then quickly closed them again.

There were a few exclamations in the room, the sound of chaotic footsteps, and she felt someone whispering in her ear, "Yume, Konishi!" ”

In a trance, she didn't know where she was, was she dead, was she dead and returned to the era of the first life?

Effortlessly opened her eyes and saw Zhang Jiaxuan's big round face, she looked away,—— it was still this damn Republic of China.

Zhang Jiaxuan complained hurtfully, "Shouqing, she was very disappointed when she saw me, and she didn't even want to look at me, you should have shouted just now." ”

Wang Shouqing, who had recovered from his injuries, lay beside Shen Mengxi's bed, "You are awake!" ”

"I thought I was dead." Shen Mengxi said in a difficult voice.

"You are really in great trouble, and you will be blessed. At that time, it was set off by a wave of bomb air, many people fell to their deaths, you were lucky to fall on a tree, supported by a branch, but your shoulder was also poked a hole, and there were scratches on your face, but you were in a coma for almost a whole day, the doctor said you were fine, but I don't know why you didn't wake up, we called you and you didn't react, and finally I tried to call your pen name, and there was a little reaction, haha, just wake up. ”

Shen Mengxi moved, and his shoulder hurt terribly. Wang Shouqing helped her sit up and drank a glass of water.

"The money for building bomb shelters also has to be embezzled, is it still human?" Zhang Jiaxuan scolded.

The alarm suddenly remembered, everyone was shocked, Wang Shouqing stepped forward to pick up Shen Mengxi and ran out, Zhang Jiaxuan picked up the backpack given by his sister in the back, grabbed a blanket and followed, a group of guards surrounded and escorted them into the air-raid shelter.

Shen Mengxi found out that this was the Changling air-raid shelter, and it turned out that she had been taken back to her home.

She was placed on a couch and covered with a blanket, the air-raid shelter was cold and damp, Shen Mengxi was in pain all over, especially the entire back, all the joints were painful, as if they had been dismantled and reassembled.

She frowned, shrunk on the sofa, listening to the roar of planes outside, the sound of bomb explosions, the earth was trembling, the crying girl was crying again, Shen Mengxi felt that her brain hurt, and she couldn't help moaning in pain.

Wang Shouqing half-hugged her in his arms and asked anxiously, "How are you, how are you?" Where does it hurt? ”

Shen Mengxi only felt dizzy and yelled, "Shut up!" ”。

In fact, it is just like a gnat, moving its mouth. Wang Shouqing understood, and immediately stopped his voice and stroked her hair soothingly.

Shen Mengxi gradually felt that there was something flying around in the air, and felt that he had returned to the Linjiang Farm in the countryside, and saw the little wolf rice bag, and saw the cute four hooves of the horse rushing in the air, the picture turned, and returned to childhood, pulling the hem of his grandmother's clothes, learning to sing the national anthem with her, and seeing the cheesy flowers on his head on the day of his wedding, and finally the picture returned to her snuggling in Wang Jianguo's arms, Wang Jianguo patted her one by one, and her body shook gently back and forth, like comforting a child, Shen Mengxi slowly closed his eyes.

"Mom, grandma, I'm married, I'm divorced, Xiaohu Xiaowan, what about my shopping mall, I can't let people know, I can't, I have gold, I have a secret place, I can't say, I don't want to go to the countryside, Lao Wang, you're going to die behind me" Shen Mengxi kept whispering nonsense.

Wang Shouqing remained motionless and shed a line of tears.

I saw that Shen Mengxi suddenly grabbed his throat and scratched it in confusion.

Wang Shouqing shouted, picked up Shen Mengxi and walked towards the door of the air-raid shelter, but the guards stopped him and prevented him from going out.

"Open!" Wang Shouqing's eyes were split, and he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the guard.

The door opened, the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder, and in the smoke of gunpowder, several planes circled and dropped another bomb and flew away. Wang Shouqing was overturned by the air wave, bounced back into the air-raid shelter, and was caught by the guards, and the two fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. Wang Shouqing's hand was still holding Shen Mengxi tightly.

The smoke cleared slightly, Wang Shouqing ran out again with Shen Mengxi in his arms, the sound of the alarm was lifted, and people came out of the air-raid shelter one after another. Wang Shouqing shook Shen Mengxi's shoulder desperately to wake her up.

"I'm going to die" Shen Mengxi groaned in pain, Wang Shouqing hugged her, "Wake up!" ”

"Suffocated" Wang Shouqing couldn't cry or laugh, let go of his embrace, and took her home with Zhang Jiaxuan.

Zhang Jiaxuan's huge house was blown up in half, and the place where Shen Mengxi lay before the alarm had been razed to the ground, Zhang Jiaxuan scolded, "Bombed yesterday, bombed today!" A widow who has lost his conscience! ”

The streets were full of cursing men, crying women and children.

They discussed it for a while, and settled down in that half of the house for the time being.

"Jiayu, what are you shouting in the air-raid shelter in a daze, Xiaohu, shopping mall, going to the countryside, what is it?" Zhang Jiaxuan instructed the guards to clean up the bricks, and turned around and asked Shen Mengxi.

Shen Mengxi's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Zhang Jiaxuan suspiciously, "I don't know." “

"Don't talk too much, get a good night's sleep, you are starved of oxygen at that time, and you have hallucinations." Wang Shouqing put Shen Mengxi on the sofa, "Adjutant Liu, go and see if there are any beds in Renai Hospital or Central Hospital?" ”

"I shouldn't have picked her up if I knew I wouldn't have brought her back."

"There are too many people in the bomb shelter over there, if you are in the bomb shelter over there today, Jia Yu probably won't be able to survive."

"! After looting so much money, I built such a rudimentary air-raid shelter, and I want to meet the chairman! I'll sue him for corruption! I'm quitting! Zhang Jiaxuan jumped to his feet in anger.

The people of this city seem to be forever digging bomb shelters and mending houses.

As soon as the sirens sounded, people ran into nearby bomb shelters, and as soon as the planes left, people came out again to clean up the broken bricks and rubble and rebuild their homes. The city is built on sandstone rock veins, full of huge bomb shelters, extremely strong, factories and shops are built in caves, and the roofs of houses are staggered with layers of bamboo rows, in order to prevent bombs from drilling into the building and exploding, the principle is that when the bomb hits the roof of the building, use the elasticity of the bamboo, detonate the bomb, so that it cannot drill into the house and explode.

Zhang Jiaxuan's residence is not far from the Nationalist Government building, where many high-ranking officials live, as well as the Legislative Yuan, the Judicial Yuan, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The air-raid shelter nearby, the conditions are not bad, the air-raid shelter near Zhang Jiaxuan, was named the Changling air-raid shelter, I don't know whose family took the head, actually placed sofas and chairs, installed electric lights, brushed white ash, and even divided the area according to each household, pulled the alarm, and went into the air-raid shelter, went to the area of their own home, did not interfere with each other, the iron gate at the entrance of the cave was closed, and the guards were guarded at the door, but I did not feel how sad. Even the little girl who cried fiercely was not so nervous.

Of course, this is only a very small number of air-raid shelter conditions, and most of the public air-raid shelters outside are very crowded inside, the air is turbid, and it is dim and low.

On this day, Shen Mengxi was on his way to get off work, when the air raid siren sounded, he hurriedly ran into a public air-raid shelter, which was crowded and suffocating.

An hour later, the alarm was lifted and she came out of the bomb shelter, she breathed in the fresh air, muttering in her heart whether she had to let Zhang Jiajiao react to it, and was suddenly grabbed by someone's hand.

"Miss Zhang!" A young voice full of surprises.

Shen Mengxi turned around and saw that it was He Hongzhi, who he hadn't seen for a long time. "Ah, Hongzhi, you, you are also in Chongqing?"

"Yes, yes!" Hongzhi was very happy, "You are alive!" You are alive! ”

There was chaos on the street, bricks in one place, some places were still on fire, people were cursing and cleaning up, Shen Mengxi pulled Hongzhi towards his home, Hongzhi refused, "I'm going to do something important soon, because the air raid has been delayed." How is Huan, how are you doing? I was very sad that you were in distress some time ago, and it's good to see that you are still alive. I'm really leaving, I'll go to the hospital to find you when I turn around! Hongzhi said as he went backwards and hurried away.

Wang Shouqing's injuries healed,
