Forty-three (5)

The dense crowd walked past her, buzzing in her ears, the cold rain poured on her body, as if even her body was numb, she took a deep breath, and then walked towards it in a daze, at this time she walked against the wind, only to feel that her strength was exhausted, the rainy night was vast, the night wind whimpered, and there was still a continuous sound of artillery fire not far away, shrouding the sky above her head in a black mist.

The voices of people crying and shouting were endless, as if countless people were in a hurry to escape, pushing and shoving all the way to the gangplank. Shen Qiangrose looked back and could only see the congested sea of people. The sound of guns and cannons at that end became more and more intensive, she thought about the predicament that Qiao Yunhua was going to face, and couldn't help but tighten her hands, she knew that he had a deep hatred for the Su family in his heart, and this hatred had even consumed a lot of his time.

He obviously could choose to only be the little master of the Qiao family and live with a reckless attitude, but for the sake of hatred, he did not hesitate to take refuge in Fusang, carrying countless infamy, and made an undignified and reckless choice, which would undoubtedly ruin him.

She knew that he still had a lot of things to do, he could obviously leave her alone, he obviously didn't have to bother like this, he had already said very coldly that she was a trouble...... But in order to save her, he took the most dangerous road.

The rain curtain was so mixed that even her eyes became hazy, until she reached the deck, she still felt her heart throb, opened the handkerchief in her hand, and saw that it was the pair of jade bracelets she had left in the hospital before. This was originally given to him when he married Su Huiyi, and she was heartbroken at that time, and she didn't hold it when she left.

But she didn't expect to be put away by Qiao Yunhua, she brought the bracelet to her hand, turned her eyes to look at the river at night, the waves were rolling, she only felt that her eyes were hot, and she wiped it with her hands, but she couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.

Finally, he took a deep breath and suppressed all his emotions. Slowly facing in, she saw two rows of guards standing at the door of the cabin, holding spears to conduct a final check on everyone who entered, she knew that these people were looking for herself, but at this time she couldn't think of a way, she could only move forward slowly with the flow of people, although she was pregnant now, but because of her slender figure, it looked like her waist was wider, and there were no obvious physical features.

She was thinking about how not to attract attention, but she heard the dense gunfire from far and near, the crowd on the deck was restless again, holding their heads and running around, all the guards who were originally at the door of the cabin followed the gunfire and walked out, and the muzzle of the black hole was cautiously pointed forward, and countless people squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and the cries were mixed with panic and panic.

Shen Qiangrose originally didn't have much strength, so she was pushed to the edge of the deck by the crowd, the wind on the river was extremely strong, and the cold rain smashed hard, she tried her best to open her eyes, her body was cold to numbness, but she still reached out and grabbed the side of the boat tightly, standing there and not daring to move.

The gunshots were getting closer and closer, she followed the sound to look over, the rain was heavy, covering her eyes, and there were many people shivering in front of her, her direction was not enough to see what was happening on that side, but suddenly she heard a few rapid gunshots deafeningly, she only felt that even her teeth were trembling, the cold rain was dripping down with the chill of late autumn, and even her thoughts became sluggish.

Taking a deep breath, she saw a group of people rushing up at some point, the rain covered her eyes, she couldn't see it really, she couldn't hear the gunshots at this time, but a chaotic footsteps were getting closer and closer, the night was hazy and dark, and she saw that these people were wearing Soviet uniforms.

Seeing that someone was already running towards her, her steps were a little hurried, the rain curtain blocked her eyes, she only saw a vague outline, until she got closer, she saw that this person was Su Huiyi, there were too many emotions at this moment, she looked at him in a daze, but she couldn't say a word.

He didn't say a word, he took the umbrella from the hand of the attendant and propped it on top of her head, the light on the deck was too dim, he faintly saw tears flashing in her eyes, lowered his eyes and whispered, "It's okay." As he spoke, he handed her a military uniform and said in a flat voice, "Put it on, don't catch a cold." ”

Shen Qiangrose's tears burst out of her eyes, her thoughts were mixed in her mind, and she wanted to sort out what had happened recently, at this moment, even though she understood everything in her heart, she still asked with a bit of stubbornness: "Why are you here?" ”

The look on Su Huiyi's face was hazy by the rain curtain, and he paused for a moment before replying: "Fuling's overseer Zhang Keming betrayed me, if I hadn't received the news in time, Nandi would have suffered great losses in this battle." ”

He explained very calmly, as if he came over, it was really just because the war was urgent, he slowed down a little, and said: "It just so happened that when I came, I learned that Zhang Keming's people were planning to catch you and threaten me in this way, and you also know, I have never done loss-making business, think about it carefully, and feel that it is too cost-effective to exchange you for the mountains and rivers of the south, so I can only come to rescue you in person." ”

Shen Qiangrose looked at him quietly, she was standing here because of the cold, and it was already the end of the crossbow, listening to his words at this time, she only felt that the pent-up emotions could no longer be suppressed, and she almost yelled: "Since I am not important like this, why do you come to save me in person?" Isn't it simpler to let Zhang Keming arrest me, whether you live or die has nothing to do with you? Why bother?! ”

She held her hands tightly, her shoulders couldn't stop trembling, the tears in her eyes made Su Huiyi in front of her more and more blurred, he stood there motionless, his eyes seemed to cross her to see the tumbling river, and his voice was cold, "I said a long time ago, if I do too ruthlessly to you, the domestic public opinion will be very unfavorable to me, even if it is a play, it is better to have a beginning and an end." ”

Shen Qiangrose immediately retorted: "You are lying! She didn't know where the strength came from, and pushed Su Huiyi hard, he was defenseless, the umbrella in his hand fell to the ground unexpectedly, and Shen Qiangrose's voice trembled, "You lie!" If it weren't for the fight to the death with the Northlands, you wouldn't have sent me away! Now that the battle is going on like this, do you think I can't see it? Thousands of people leave the Southland every day to flee for their lives! Even the newspapers are reporting that the south is being attacked on the back, and on one side is a wall of brothers! Divide the territory! On one side is the artillery fire of the combination of Northland and Fuso! The Su family can't hold on! The foundations of the South are about to be scattered! ”

The cold rain hit her face, and she was shivering with cold, but her voice was firm, "You said at that time that no matter what the war turned on, you would not leave me." ”

The heavy rain curtain blocked between the two, and Su Huiyi's body was also soaked by the rain, he hung his head slightly, his expression was a little calm, and after a long time, he whispered: "I haven't said anything like this." After he said that, he turned his head and ordered Lin Ning on the side, "Send her in." ”

Shen Qiangrose saw that he was about to turn around and leave, the sound of artillery fire at that end was still deafening, as if every sound was smashed into her heart, at this moment she suddenly became afraid, for fear that if he turned around, the two of them would not have a chance to see each other again in this life.

Walked over quickly and grabbed his arm, his voice pleading, "Take me along, I don't want to leave!" ”

Su Huiyi frowned and looked at her, the rain was like a waterfall, her eyes were still full of tears, her petite body was trembling in the rain, but she looked at him with a helpless and stubborn look, looking extremely pitiful.

He glanced away and shook off her hand vigorously, "Let go!" ”

Seeing his determination, Shen Qiangrose became more and more flustered, hugged his arm tightly, and said, "I won't let it go, unless you take me with you!" ”

Her voice was so weak that she couldn't hear it, but she still held on to him. The first mate on the ship had already walked over, and when he saw this, he made a cross salute with some apologies, and then politely urged Su Huiyi in Spanish, roughly because the ship was about to leave, and asked them to leave.

Shen Qiangrose didn't know why she was so uneasy in her heart that her voice was trembling when she spoke, "I'll go with you." ”

Su Huiyi suddenly turned around, shook her hand and gave her a slap, although the force was not great, but it still hit her ears buzzing, she had forgotten her reaction, just looked at him in a daze, tears slipped out of the corners of her eyes, but she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

Su Huiyi pursed her lips tightly, and finally after glancing at her, she strode away.

She looked at his back as he refused to leave, and felt that the whole world had collapsed. Originally, the light on the deck was extremely dim, now it was blocked by a heavy rain curtain, as if covered with a hazy net, he walked very fast, his straight back was still resolute in the rain, she wanted to see more clearly, but in a moment, his figure completely disappeared into the dark night.

It's like I've never been here.

With the cold wind blowing from the river and the wanton rain in late autumn, it was like the day her mother died, she knelt at the head of the bed, and prayed to her mother over and over again not to leave, but despite the devotion she had never had in her life, her mother still left. Like at this moment, there was nothing but bone-chilling cold and numbness.

At this moment, the whistle of the steamer had already sounded, and with a long sound, it pierced the silent night, and enveloped the intertwined rain curtain, and fiercely wrapped it up. She didn't hear what Lin Ning said to her, she turned her head in a trance and looked at it, and saw that the rain was jumping in front of her messily.

At this moment, I only felt that the world was spinning, and before I could speak, my eyes were dark, and I didn't know anything.
