Shen Qiangrose heard early on that the Changzhou front line had also declared independence, but she didn't expect the Pingjia Army to come over so quickly. At this moment, Ruan Hongyu pestered Qiao Yunhua and chattered, she knew that there were many words here that she was inconvenient to listen to, so she said, "I'll go out for a walk." ”
She walked out, all the way to the deck, the weather outside was fine, the sky was clear, the deck was densely populated, like a school of fish moving slowly in the sea, she looked into the distance of the river, and saw that the mountains were high and the water was long, winding and endless. The river is murmuring and mighty. Looking at it this way, the sunshine of Chengjin is embellished on the river, and the road ahead is bright.
But this is just a fleeting paradise in the troubled times, at this time the wind is warm and warm, as if everything is silent, she tightly grasps the tassel on her body, but she doesn't feel cold, but at such a time, her heart is more and more dazed.
The boat line has successively arrived at several towns, all the way are Wuyang people, busy surviving, busy running for their lives, with the mighty river to the north, go forward but can still see the peach blossoms on the riverside, it turns out that it is the summer season, but the north of the river is warm, but I saw such an evening scene.
It wasn't until late that the people on board brought the news that the Changzhou border had been lost and had been captured by the Heijia army. Shen Qiangrose took advantage of the chaos to borrow a newspaper, the news about the war has been reported these days, she looked at it with a dazzling look, it was the battle situation of all forces, but there was no news of Su Huiyi.
There is only one that says, "The Northland has sent troops to mediate." She thought that if it weren't for the last resort, Su Huiyi would never allow people with foreign surnames to meddle in the affairs of the south, but once the north was involved, wouldn't it be an inch by inch to divide the territory? The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, but she remembered what she had said, in this troubled world, the warlords were defeated by one side and rose again, and there was no flower for a hundred days, maybe the Su family was really angry.
She had only eaten a few bites of dinner because of her poor appetite, and she felt a tightness in her chest, so she went for a walk on the deck. Ruan Hongyu recognized the opportunity and took her to the deck with her. At this time, the night breeze gradually cooled down, Ruan Hongyu put the coat on her body and said, "People get fat when they are pregnant, how can you be as thin as you?" Now that you have come this far, you might as well be bigger and think more for your children. ”
Shen Qiangrose smiled reluctantly and asked her, "Why did you come here as a girl?" She knew that Ruan Hongyu would not come north for no reason, but she couldn't guess what was going on. She only thought she was Su Ziyu's person at that time, but she was also familiar with Qiao Yunhua, she didn't know who she was, she just looked at her as a woman, and she always acted and spoke with a smile, which was even more incomprehensible.
Ruan Hongyu blinked her eyes wide and said, "Say it again!" I thought I wouldn't see you until I got to the north, but I didn't expect to meet you here! It seems that the people of Qishao are looking for the wrong one, otherwise how could they not find you. ”
Shen Qiangrose had already guessed that Su Huiyi would send someone to find her, but Qiao Yunhua deliberately stayed with Zhang Peiyuan at that time, thinking that it was to avoid those people, and her chest was stuffy at this moment, so she said: "The current situation is so chaotic, even if the people who have agreed to meet may not be able to see it, let alone the current situation?" ”
Ruan Hongyu sighed, as if she was moved, "But in this troubled world, if you don't have some faith in your heart, what's the point of living?" ”
Shen Qiangrose fell silent, the night was quiet, the people on the deck were much rarer, the moonlight was cold and cold, and the shadows shone on it, making it even more desolate. There was a vast expanse of water in front of me, and now the water waves gradually grew larger, gushing in my ears. The lonely lights on the riverbank can be faintly seen, but they are too far away, like fireflies seen in summer, shining in the night.
After a while, Ruan Hongyu said: "I am a person who has nothing to worry about, but at this time, I feel that there should be someone in my heart who can be remembered, but sometimes I look away and feel that it is better not to worry about anyone." She turned to Shen Qiangrose and said as if it were true or false: "I really envy you." ”
Shen Qiang Rose also looked at her, her eyes shining in the moonlight, looking like this, it seemed to be decorated with layers of water. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth that didn't care, as if he had never been so free and easy, "I came to you this time, but I made a life and death statement to Qi Shao." ”
She looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, but she only saw the boundless darkness of the night. After a little pause, he said, "Do you believe me?" I can send you to Qishao. ”
Seeing the determination in her eyebrows, Shen Qiangrose nodded and said, "I believe in you." But she giggled and grabbed her arm, "You're so deceived." ”
There was a sudden sound of artillery fire from that end, like a sudden thunder, roaring. Shen Qiangrose looked over, and saw that the artillery fire was soaring into the sky, the smoke was billowing out, and there was actually artillery fire into the river, and there was a heavy splash of water in an instant, and the crowd on the deck became chaotic, and the foreign crew went on the deck and took binoculars to check the situation.
Seeing that the situation was urgent, and the two of them didn't know where the fight was going, the foreign crew member spoke loudly in Spanish and gestured at the same time. At this moment, the artillery fire continued to hit the river, as if forcing the ship to retreat.
At this moment, the flow of people was chaotic again, and the two people were squeezed to the rear, listening to the sound of artillery fire getting closer and closer, but they were panicking. Qiao Yunhua found it out, and saw that the crowd was dense, and they all hugged their heads and ran on the deck, and there was no way to avoid it at this moment, and the old high of the river splashing wet the deck.
The crew was making an emergency stop, and the hull of the ship shook from the gunfire. There was a cry on the ship, but the crowd was moving, being pushed forward, and the voices of the people were noisy, blindly shouting names. Qiao Yunhua was squeezed to the other side by the crowd, and as far as he could see, it was a black person, he was originally looking for that moon-white figure, but the flow of people was too chaotic, he was squeezed out a few feet away, the night wind wrapped him and retreated, he couldn't help shouting, "Rose, Rose......"
But the voice was noisy, but the man's response could not be heard. At this moment, she even thought sadly, even if she could hear it, she would not respond to him.
As the night deepened, there was already artillery fire not far away, and there was a cacophony of noises all around, as if it had nothing to do with him, and the ship was forced to stop on the shore, and the weeds on both sides were scattered, and the wind rustled. The crew was already arranging for people to get off the ship, but they had just set up a gangplank, and the people on the other end were already pouring down.
Qiao Yunhua rampaged through the crowd, but the figure was vast, looking up at the sky, it was also dark and heavy, and he was heavily wrapped in smoke. In such troubled times, even if it is close at hand, a rub shoulder, it will still be strange.
A tracer bullet pierced the night sky, as if splitting the eternal time and space, and the night was even longer with a red light in the night, reflecting the dark and dreary river.
The crew was urgently evacuating the crowd, the sound of artillery fire at that end was getting closer and closer, Ruan Hongyu took Shen Qiangrose's hand and ran towards the mountain road behind, surrounded by dense crowds, just dragging the family with their mouths, from time to time they would hear crying, and there were many clothes and cages and other things sprinkled all the way, at this time everyone pushed each other and ran forward, and they had already messed up the direction.
Shen Qiangrose was pregnant and naturally had no physical strength, and she barely ran two steps, then she felt her stomach shake, she hurriedly stopped, and waved her hand at Ruan Hongyu, "You go quickly, leave me alone." ”
Ruan Hongyu also stopped, watching the flow of people pass by them, she walked over to help her, and said nonchalantly, "I'll go with you." She saw that Shen Qiangrose's face was ugly, and she was afraid that she would hurt her fetal gas, so she said: "We don't follow them, it's so easy to leave Qiao Yunhua now, if you follow them, you will definitely be found." It's better to hide in the mountains for the night first, and wait for dawn to figure out a way. ”
Shen Qiangrose knew that there was only one way to do it now, so she followed her to the remote path, the mountain road was rugged, and the weeds on both sides were half a person high, the two of them were not in a hurry at this time, their steps slowed down, and they only walked along the sheep intestine path, the moonlight was as light as frost, falling thin on the ground, and the kerosene lamp carried by the crew could be seen in a daze, the light was cold, but the kung fu was gone in a blink of an eye.
The cacophony of voices faded away, leaving only the chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves. The two of them walked and stopped, and the sound of artillery fire became farther and farther away, so they found a big tree to rest. Shen Qiangrose sat on the ground, she forgot to be scared at this time, but she was very tired, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Ruan Hongyu squatting down to polish her shoes, and complained at the same time, "What kind of thing is this, dare to love aunt and grandmother to fight wherever she goes!" It's really not too peaceful! It's a pity that I have these shoes. ”
Shen Qiangrose knew her temperament, so she smiled and didn't speak. Looking down the mountain, I saw that there was artillery fire in the sky, and the night was sinking more and more, just standing in the mountains, the scenery under the mountain was in full view, it looked like a small town, only vaguely saw the outline, the two ends were exchanging fire, and I didn't know when to fight.
Ruan Hongyu took a break before saying: "The boat will definitely set off when the engine is out, we can't turn back, and now the battle is evil, we can only try our luck in the mountains." ”
Shen Qiangrose thought that Qiao Yunhua would not be able to find her, and she would definitely not leave. But after thinking about it, now that the artillery fire is scorching, he may not be looking for her in the mountains. Thinking like this, I became more and more distraught. Fortunately, the night breeze is blowing, and it is slightly cold on the face, but it is mixed with a sense of spring.
She had a lot of stability in her heart at this time, so she continued to walk forward with Ruan Hongyu, the mountains were silent, and the moonlight was cold and cold overhead, white and faint. Ruan Hongyu stepped on a pair of high heels, and she was gurgling all the way, but when she heard it at this time, she felt more relieved in her ears, and she didn't feel scared no matter how dark it was that night.
The two of them walked along the path for a long time, and then they saw that the weeds were overgrown below, and the original slope was high. Ruan Hongyu took a look and saw a few thatched houses, she said, "You wait for me here, I'll take a look." ”
Shen Qiangrose saw that the slope was so steep that she wanted to remind her to be careful, but she had already jumped down neatly, turned around and raised her eyebrows proudly at her, then turned around and ran away.
