Twenty-four (1)

The train rumbled, the distant scenery was shadowed under the rain curtain, the sky gradually brightened, like green glazed porcelain, only a circle of dark cyan light was revealed, through the frosted glass, the rain was fine, the distant mountains were verdant, and the mist weaved white smoke, half covered and half hidden.

Shen Qiangrose lost her sleepiness early in the morning, leaned her head on the frosted glass, and quietly looked out the window. She thought about the road ahead, and there were many unknown emotions in that kind of despair, and she always thought that as long as she was with Su Huiyi, her life would be complete. But now that I think about it, life is full of disasters and difficulties, and life, death, wealth and wealth are like clouds of smoke, fleeting.

What can be kept forever?

She has never been a tragic person, she was chased and killed by Su Shengbai several times at that time, and she was also able to face it strongly. It's just that she lost Su Huiyi, and the tight string in her heart was completely broken. Especially when the future is unknown, the rain hits the glass miserably, and the end of the canopy is still dark, like ripples on the water surface, calm and deep.

She was exhausted and thought that in this troubled world, maybe she would never see him again in this life, or he would have been buried under the loess. Thinking like this, I didn't feel that my nose was sour, and I couldn't help but cry.

The door was suddenly pushed open, Qiao Yunhua walked in quickly, and when she saw her pale face, she was stunned at first, and then said, "Su Shengbai's people are coming this way, we must leave immediately." ”

Shen Qiang Rose wiped away her tears in a hurry, she knew that the matter was urgent, and she didn't ask. just got up and followed behind Qiao Yunhua, the carriage was narrow and long, and the two of them were silent. The lamp shone dimly overhead, glowing with a dim glow. The whole aisle is cold and quiet, and I feel a chill down my spine with every step.

There was another line of uniformed people in front of him who were routinely inspecting the box, Qiao Yunhua glanced back behind him, and saw that Shen Qiangrose's face was getting whiter and whiter, and her eyes were full of blank looks.

Unconsciously he lowered his voice, "There are our people in front, don't worry. ”

Shen Qiangrose didn't speak, but she was like a drum in her heart, and she always felt unstable. followed Qiao Yunhua into the box in front, there was a pair of young men and women inside, and when the man saw Qiao Yunhua, he got up and made a gentlemanly salute, "Young Master Qiao, you are finally here." ”

Qiao Yunhua also smiled politely, "Brother Liao, I'm bothered." ”

Shen Qiangrose glanced at the man in a daze, she only felt familiar, she really couldn't remember where she had seen it, the woman had already held her hand affectionately and said, "Sister, do you remember me?" ”

Shen Qiangrose saw that her face was kind, and her smile was warm. I couldn't help but suddenly realize that the two people in front of me were the Liao couple. She hurriedly said, "Mrs. Liao, I really didn't expect to see you again." ”

Mrs. Liao pulled her to sit aside and said kindly: "At that time, I felt that I was destined when I saw my sister, and now it seems that this is really the case." ”

Shen Qiangrose was not good at talking, so she smiled and nodded, Mrs. Liao knew that she was embarrassed now, and it was inconvenient to say too much, so she just said some kind words to her casually, and seeing that she was not good-looking, she took a blanket and covered her, "It's a long way to the north, you have a good rest." ”

Shen Qiangwei sighed, raised her eyes and saw Qiao Yunhua looking at herself, the two were separated by half a person's distance, his eyes were brightened by the lamp, like stars in the dark night. After a pause, he said, "Sister-in-law, please take care of me." ”

After he finished speaking, he walked out with Mr. Liao. Shen Qiangrose knew that there were many things that she was inconvenient to know, so she simply closed her eyes and squinted, Mrs. Liao was also a very quiet person, and when she saw that she was asleep, she took a magazine and looked at it quietly.

Shen Qiangrose was about to fall asleep in a trance, but she heard a faint gunshot from the other side, but it rumbled with the train, and the gunfire was not sharp. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mrs. Liao looking at the magazine very calmly, so she asked, "Is there a newspaper?" ”

Mrs. Liao smiled, "Yes, there is, but it was all two days ago, so it's not interesting." ”

Shen Qiangrose thought that this was a long way, so she said, "Show it to me, so that you can pass the time." ”

Mrs. Liao sighed, took out a few newspapers from her bag, and said, "This train will go directly to the north, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a month to travel this way, and we will not be able to see the newspaper for a long time." ”

While the two men were talking, they heard another gunshot. Mrs. Liao hurriedly said: "Sister, don't be afraid, no one dares to enter our box." ”

Shen Qiangwei knew that it was Su Shengbai's people who came to chase and kill, but she didn't know if this Mrs. Liao knew, so she said: "Sister, if anything happens, you just hand me over, don't let me bother you." ”

As if she knew what she was thinking, Mrs. Liao did not hide it from her, but said: "Where is this, our whole family has gone to the north, who cares about a warlord who is far away in the sky?" ”

Shen Qiangwei was stunned, she didn't know anything about the details of this couple, but from her words, she had the intention to draw a line with Nandi, and did not take Su Shengbai in her eyes. Such a tone is supposed to be a person who holds military power.

Mrs. Liao smiled and said, "Sister, I won't hide it from you, Zhong Jun's father was the commander of the Soviet army, and in the past few years, the wind and rain in the south have been smooth, and those who hold heavy power have begun to resell arms, Western medicine, and even some people are secretly transporting opium to make money!" It has long been corrupted to the bones. ”

She sighed, "My father was originally a follower of the third son, and he wanted to overthrow the old rule, but he died on the battlefield without thinking about it. Zhong Jun and I both came back from studying abroad, and we are not optimistic about the current situation in China. Now the south is under attack, not only is there Fusang on the outside, but except for Qishao's cronies, there are snakes, insects, rats and ants inside. ”

"The foundations of the south are about to be scattered." After she finished saying this, her eyes turned to pity when she looked at Shen Qiangrose, "Sister, I've really hurt you." ”

Shen Qiangrose didn't know how to react, so she smiled reluctantly. Looking down at the newspaper, it was written some analysis of the current situation, it turned out that a few days ago, two other warlords were going to war with the south, both under the banner of overthrowing the warlord dictatorship.

She glanced twice, but heard the gunshots getting closer. I thought that those people came up, but at this moment, they didn't know where Qiao Yunhua and they were, and they didn't dare to act rashly. I had to sit on a sleeper wrapped in a blanket and look out the window while listening to the gunshots.

The canopy of the sky had dimmed and brightened, and half of the sky was white. The train is passing through a flowing water, like a winding mountain road, crystal clear. She watched quietly, and she didn't feel scared in her heart.

The door was quickly pushed open, and several men dressed in civilian clothes suddenly broke in, and Mrs. Liao stood up in a panic, "Who are you?!" ”

The man in the lead didn't look at her, just looked at Shen Qiangrose. His eyes swirled over her and he asked, "What's your name?" Do you have documents? ”

Shen Qiangrose knew their tricks, but she was impatient and perfunctory to them, and did not open her mouth to answer. When the leading man saw this, he commanded the man behind him, "Take her out." ”

Mrs. Liao stood in front and said, "What are you guys, you dare to come to check us so blatantly!" I'd like to ask you who your boss is! ”

The man in the lead looked displeased, and said unkindly: "This lady, I advise you to know each other better, and not to oppose us." Take people away! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "bang", and the man fell to the ground with a bang. Shen Qiangrose felt a buzzing in her ears, her legs went limp, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, someone helped her in time, "Are you okay?" ”

In a blink of an eye, he saw that it was Qiao Yunhua, he was holding a gun in his hand, aiming at the man who rushed up, "bang" and a few shots, the shot was accurate and fast, and it was almost a shot to death.

Shen Qiangrose had long been accustomed to seeing the rain of bullets, but at such a close distance, she still couldn't help but feel chills in her heart. She saw that Qiao Yunhua was so calm and composed, thinking about the shot he shot in the rain at that time, not only hooked her lips and sneered.

Qiao Yunhua seemed to guess her thoughts, and whispered: "At that time, I did a lot of things out of my own volition. ”

Shen Qiangrose didn't want to hear him say this, the relationship between the two people was so awkward, and now that he had saved her life, why should she be obsessed with these deceptions?

"You don't have to explain it to me, you just know what you're doing," she said. ”

She said extremely calmly, but in Qiao Yunhua's ears, it became unusual. He unconsciously got angry, and turned his eyes to look at her coldly, "I'm not doing all this for you!" ”

Mr. Liao, who was originally standing at the door, glanced at Mrs. Liao, and Mrs. Liao immediately walked out. The carriage became very quiet, Shen Qiangrose sat aside, looked down at the blood on the ground, and couldn't help but start to gag.

Qiao Yunhua's demeanor softened at this time, stroked her back, patted her gently, and said, "I know you annoy me, when you get to the north, you will leave when I settle down." ”

Shen Qiangrose only felt like her stomach was tumbling into the sea, she hadn't eaten much all day, just retching, and after hearing this, she stroked her chest, and didn't know what to say, so she just sat there silently.

Qiao Yunhua withdrew her hand and looked at her carefully, the light in the carriage was bright and clear, as if it had been dyed with layers of streamer light on her, and it was like a murmuring stream reflected on it, her skin was blue and white, and there was a trace of weakness in the snow.

The cheeks are crimson, and the eyes are red, looking at it like this, it is indescribably cute and pitiful. He slowed down a little before he said, "You only think of me as a traitor to the country for glory, but look at the map of this country, which warlord is not engaged in annexation?" To put it bluntly, everyone wants to tear the earth and seal the king, how can there be any peaceful reunification? ”

He sat down across from him and said slowly, "Do you think I took you to the north because it's really too peaceful?" Its peace is just the ignorance of the superiors, the land is being invaded, and all parties are still thinking about sweeping the snow in front of their own doors, and their own people are fighting their own people, how can they not fail? ”

Shen Qiangrose listened to his words, she only felt impassioned, very different from her usual way of speaking, she couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" ”

Qiao Yunhua hooked his lips and smiled, but did not answer. He only said, "Rest." ”
