Forty-two (2)

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the war between Nandi and all parties has become increasingly anxious, and the news of the defeat has also reached Jinling from time to time, stirring up panic. As a result of the previous student riots, all sectors of society expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Jinling government and the dictatorship of the warlords, and various organized demonstrations continued to ferment, and newspapers and leaflets praising the awakening of national consciousness were flying all over the sky, and the situation in Jinling seemed to have reached an uncontrollable point.

Among them, there are spies from Fusang and Beidi who are stirring up the situation, and it is like a torn hole, and with the gradual accumulation of incidents, it is slowly getting bigger and bigger. Su Huiyi had to telegraph the whole country, expressed his attitude towards the current situation, vowed to fight Fusang to the end, and explained the war with the north, because it was a passive party, out of the protection of territorial sovereignty, everything was reasonable.

Although the spearhead was turned to the north, the situation in Jinling did not improve, many expatriates and dignitaries had already left by boat, and anti-warlord activities organized by various circles intensified.

This was followed by a temporary paralysis of the financial world, the normal operation of the railroads and wharves along the various routes, and the daily departure of so many people from the Southland that they had to pass through several railway lines. Fortunately, Jinling, as the center of the southern region, is still prosperous and splendid in the war without gunpowder despite the chaotic situation.

It was late autumn and the weather had become cold, especially in the morning, when the house was very cold. Shen Qiangrose's belly is getting bigger and bigger, although her body is weak, her sleep is very light, and a little wind and grass will make her wake up quickly.

Because she went to bed early last night, she woke up before dawn, put on her clothes and walked to the window, now the trees in the yard have long been dry, the morning fog is in the air, and the window is covered with a thin layer of frost.

She watched silently for a while, and saw a military vehicle drive to the gate, honked the horn twice, and then hurriedly ran out to open the door, and the moment she was puzzled, the car had already driven into the yard, and soon a person came out, it was Lin Ning.

She thought that Su Huiyi went back to Jinling a month ago, and the two of them are now stiff, he has never come to see her once, and now he has sent Lin Ning over, and he doesn't know what is going on. Thinking like this, he walked quickly to the wardrobe, picked out a plain cheongsam to change, and there was already a knock at the door, "Miss, Adjutant Lin is here and is waiting for you in the hall." Yuzhu's voice rang out outside.

Shen Qiangrose hurriedly fastened the buckle of the collar and replied, "Got it." She said as she pulled her hair back in front of the mirror, and when she felt that it was okay, she walked out. Yuzhu had been waiting outside, and when she saw her coming out so quickly, she asked, "Miss, didn't you sleep well again?" ”

After a pause, he followed behind her and lowered his voice and said, "I looked at Adjutant Na Lin's strange and frightening face, and I didn't know what it was, so I came here so early in the morning." ”

Shen Qiangrose listened to her whispering, although she was also surprised in her heart, she didn't have the heart to think much at this time, and quickly went downstairs, and saw Lin Ning standing in the hall, dressed in a military uniform, with a neat posture unique to a soldier, talking to Han Wan'er, her face had faded away from her usual seriousness, and her eyebrows were very soft, she walked over and happened to hear Lin Ning say: "Qishao means, please leave with Miss Shen." ”

When she heard this at first glance, she couldn't help but pause, and looked at Lin Ning with some astonishment, Lin Ning saw that she looked lost and depressed, and said politely: "Miss Shen, Qishao, please pack your bags, and you can go with him in the afternoon." ”

Shen Qiangrose was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Go?" Where to go? She was not only surprised, but more of an indescribable uneasiness, as if something had happened, but even if she asked, she would not get the answer she wanted. After thinking about it, now that the relationship between her and Su Huiyi is stiffened like this, he can't wait to send him away, he has reached this point, but he doesn't know what he is struggling with or worrying about.

Lin Ning was stunned when he saw her expression, so he paused, and then said, "Seventh Young is going to the front line and give Miss Shen a ride by the way." ”

Shen Qiangrose didn't know what it was like in her heart, she subconsciously clenched her palm, but she didn't feel very uncomfortable, but there was a sour pain in her heart, like being gently gnawed by insects and ants, and the pain was slow and unbearable.

She wanted to respond, but she just glanced at Lin Ning, and walked upstairs without saying a word, her shoulders still shaking slightly, despite trying her best to restrain her emotions. I finally entered the bedroom, leaned against the door, looked around as if I was at a loss, and hot tears flowed down.

Sadness is always used to bursting out when she is sad, and she thinks of her parents and younger brother, and she only feels that her whole heart is clenched tightly, and after the pain that is close to suffocation, only numbness and emptiness remain.

Han Wan'er's voice came from the door, "Sister, are you okay?" ”

She walked inside, tears overflowed again from the corners of her eyes, and she adjusted her breathing before saying, "I'm a little sleepy, I want to sleep for a while, tell Yuzhu that I don't have to come over to clean up my things, and I don't have anything to bring." ”

Han Wan'er wanted to speak and stopped outside the door, she didn't have the heart to listen, she just walked to the bed and sat down, raised her eyes and looked at the wall clock, but it was only seven o'clock, and the second hand was beating, looking in her eyes, it seemed to be devastating.

The room was so quiet, everything was short and long.

It wasn't until one o'clock in the afternoon that the military vehicle arrived at the small building on time, and because of Shen Qiangrose's instructions in advance, Yuzhu only packed a few changes of clothes, a total of only a small box. The person who came to pick it up was Lin Ning, and seeing that Shen Qiangrose's luggage was simple, he said, "Miss doesn't have anything else to take?" ”

Shen Qiangrose didn't look at him either, got into the car and sat down, and said lightly: "It's all outside the body, it's not important, no matter how far or near you go this journey, how many things or less, for me, it doesn't matter." ”

Seeing her so resolute, Lin Ning was silent and did not speak. After waiting for a long time, I saw Han Guan'er walking out with a suitcase, I don't know if she was suddenly leaving, or something else, she didn't have too much expression on her face, and after nodding to Lin Ning, she got in the car and sat next to Shen Qiangrose.

Shen Qiangrose was most afraid of this kind of parting scene, originally thought that after experiencing life and death, there was nothing that could easily touch emotions, but she didn't know that it was because of these experiences that she became more and more afraid. She turned her head to look at Yuzhu, wanting to say goodbye to her, but she just smiled at her through the window, and the car drove slowly, although her eyes were firm, her hands were unconsciously closed, and she clenched her palms tightly, only feeling cold all over her body.

In such late autumn, the sky was gloomy, as if everything was drawn with lead gray strokes, so bleak. Han Wan'er took her hand, and the two of them looked at each other, but they were silent with each other.

The railway station is not far away, the car turns a few corners to arrive, look around, there are garrisons standing everywhere, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, densely packed. The car drove all the way to the platform, and saw that there was already a car waiting there, although it was a hurried glance, Shen Qiangrose still saw Su Huiyi sitting there, he seemed to be in a good mood, and he was talking and laughing with Lan Qingqing beside him.

At this moment, too many emotions flashed in his heart, as if he was afraid that others would see it, he clenched his palms fiercely, trying his best to calm down, Han Guaner happened to see it too, and couldn't help but snort and said: "Such a man, it's right to leave him as soon as possible!" ”

Turning her head, she saw that Shen Qiangrose's whole face was red, and she pursed her lips tightly, as if she was forcibly suppressing her emotions. She couldn't bear it, so she said, "Sister, leave him." ”

Shen Qiangrose glanced at her and did not speak. At this time, Su Huiyi had already gotten out of the car, turned around and glanced over here, then turned his head and stretched out his hand to Lalan Qingqing, and the two of them whispered for a while, talking and laughing intimately.

The attendant opened the door for them, Shen Qiangrose only saw that it was clean, and after getting off the train, she followed Lin Ning to the train, originally Su Huiyi pulled Lan Qingqing to walk in front, but Lan Qingqing stopped somehow, and saw that Shen Qiangrose was getting closer, so she laughed, "Sister Shen, we met again, I heard that pregnant people are very hard, and now you want to follow us in the car, can your body bear it?" ”

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Su Huiyi, and said angrily: "You too, didn't you say at that time, let's go first, and let Sister Shen leave directly by boat?" She is pregnant now, and her body will definitely not be able to stand such a toss. ”

Shen Qiangrose listened to her words, only felt bored, so she walked past them without saying a word, and when she rubbed shoulders, Yu Guang glanced at Su Hui's expressionless face, and felt even more cold.

Until I got on the train, I couldn't wait to go as fast as possible, walked through the long carriages, one after another, and I didn't know how many I walked, and I saw a few garrisons with guns standing at the door of the box in front of me, Lin Ning stopped and said politely: "Miss Shen, Miss Han, this is your box, you can rest first." ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Han Wan'er before nodding politely and turning to leave.

Han Wan'er opened the door and went in, but he seemed to be very relaxed and said, "Fortunately, I didn't have to be next to that Lan Qingqing's box, so I didn't have to worry about it." Shen Qiangrose didn't know what it was like in her heart after hearing this, so she walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, she now had a big belly, and she was holding on to this day, but she felt tired, sitting there panting.

At this time, I heard the sound of the train whistle, turned my head to look out the window, the sky was even darker, as if there was not even a trace of light, and the wind of the autumn was rustling.
