The steamer was supposed to arrive in the United States this week, as expected, but a storm occurred on the way, so that the steamer was forced to stop in the port in the rear of the United States, and for more than ten days in a row, many people took the opportunity to get off the ship, or to play or find hotels to rest. Because Shen Qiangrose's belly has become very big and it is inconvenient to move, and she is a quiet person, she has always stayed in the room and never went out.

Fortunately, the accompanying nurse took care of her every step of the way, except for her physical weakness, she didn't feel any discomfort. The weather was not good these days, it was raining a lot, and the boat was a little wet, which made her cold. Every day, when I lie in bed and close my eyes, there are many miscellaneous things.

She hardly thought about Su Huiyi for a moment, especially thousands of miles away, all the thoughts and sorrows were doubly breeding, eroding all her living consciousness, and there was a moment when she even thought about simply jumping into the sea and ending it all neatly, at least she wouldn't be tortured again.

She finally understood why he was so obsessed with sending her away, that he didn't even leave her a word of farewell when he was leaving, and that she had hated him so deeply that she knew that if he hadn't been willing to fall with the city, he wouldn't have left her at all. She always knew that he told her that he didn't want her anymore and let her leave, because he had the intention of coexisting and dying with the Southland.

She had always known him.

She felt that this period of time was more difficult and more inspiring than half a lifetime. She couldn't even help but wonder if he would regret it when he left, and whether that turn would be the last in his life? Now she is far away, and his life and death are uncertain...... In such a turbulent world, is a person like him long gone?

There was always a decisive glimpse of him when he left, and his eyes were as deep as a desert where no grass grows, carrying boundless loneliness...... She felt that she couldn't think about it anymore, and now the reason that supported her life was the unborn child in her womb.

She felt that her whole heart was dead, and there was no longer a ripple.

After half a month of docking, the ship finally started again, during which time there were many more people, and because of the previous storm, the ship Cassia, which had been moving behind, was severely damaged, but fortunately it was very close to the shore and there were no casualties. However, the ship could not continue to the United States, so it applied for support from the Mir and brought everyone to the United States.

The vast sea seems to be endless, heading west, it is already a clear sky, during this period, Shen Qiang Rose will go up to the deck from time to time to take a walk, looking at the endless sea, the restless heart can never be calm.

Because there were still many compatriots on the ship, Shen Qiangrose inquired and learned that the current situation in the south has been ossified to the point where there is no way to turn around, first the local overseers declared independence one after another, and then Fuling was destroyed by artillery fire, and all the generals and soldiers of the Fourth Army survived...... The Seventh Army and the Third Army led by Su Ziyu also suffered heavy casualties.

As for the limited strength of Su Qingyang's remaining forces, after the northern land completely invaded the southern land, he no longer cooperated with him, so he could only continue to expand the warlords along the route and go to remote places. And Qiao Yunhua and Fusang are still involved, but now that a patriotic league has been organized in China, countless patriotic young people have put up banners, and countless patriots have participated in it, and a tough battle is about to begin, and it is becoming more and more intense.

However, due to the influence of domestic public opinion, Beidi had already electrified the whole country more than a month ago, and would retire to the left line of Jiangzuo. The Nandi government is just an ornament, after the cabinet premier stepped down, Su Ziyu was considered to have monopolized power, announcing the re-election of parliamentarians on the one hand, and initiating peace talks with the north.

Listening to this series of things, I feel that there are ups and downs in the troubled times, and there is always another village, just thinking that Fuling has become cannon fodder, I can't help but sigh for a while, and finally respond to that sentence, "Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream." ”

After sighing, the situation of the troubled times is still unsolved, there are always countless people who want to climb to the peak of power, and after a shallow taste, they will be pushed down the abyss, going around and around, just like the sea rushing in front of them, but it is an endless scene.

Shen Qiangrose asked about Su Huiyi again, but after some inquiry, there was no news, as if after that battle, with the ashes that burned out, it would no longer be remembered by the world......

In such a troubled world, I don't know how many things have been buried, as if white-headed has always been a luxury, she thought a little tired. The endless waves of the sea rolled as if to take her to a place where there was no pain, and the thought of this made me feel even more exhausted.

She has a bad appetite these days, and she will accumulate food when she eats something, so she always walks on the deck after dinner. It was already approaching evening, the wind on the sea was a little cold, the end of the sky was dark blue, there was a faint lone star twinkling, and the crescent moon seemed to be embellished on the sea, reflecting a large area of sparkling water.

There were only a handful of people on deck, and she was now so big that she felt tired from a few steps, and the nurse helped her to sit on the bench on one side, where a few foreign sailors were smoking, and laughter was heard from time to time. She glanced at it and said to the nurse, "It's cold, go back." ”

The canopy soon darkened, and after the crew on the deck smoked, they also walked towards the cabin, and when they entered the door, they happened to pass by several men, and one of the crew members nodded politely when they recognized the person at the head, and said politely in Spanish: "Mr. Su, the wind is cold at night, and the injuries on your body have not healed, so it is best not to be affected by the wind." ”

At that time, the night was deep, only a faint light reflected on the deck, and the man who was greeted was long, with gauze wrapped around his shoulders, and even such a blurred light, projected on his face, was still an unhealthy pale. He waved his hand as if he was tired, and then asked in Spanish, "The young lady I mentioned, haven't you found her?" ”

The crew shrugged their shoulders a little helplessly, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry sir, because after the storm, the Mir was forced to stop, and many of the guests got off the ship, and the room you told me did not have the young lady." He paused, and then added, "You have come from the ship of the Cassia, and you should know that many rooms have been changed due to the multiplication of the number of people. Now there are thousands of your countrymen on board, and trying to find that young lady is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

He wrapped his uniform and sighed with great regret, "Maybe the young lady you are looking for has already disembarked." ”

Several crew members left one after another, and Lin Ning, who was following behind, suddenly said: "Qishao, maybe Miss Shen is still on the ship, and when she arrives in the United States, she will definitely be found." ”

The wounded man was Su Huiyi, who was reported to be uncertain about his life and death, in the battle of Fuling, the soldiers of the Seventh Army held on to the last moment, but the reinforcements did not come for a long time, and all the stubborn resistance was the end of the crossbow. At that time, he had the intention of advancing and retreating with the Seventh Army, so when the overwhelming* swept in, he still stuck to the front line and did not flinch in the slightest.

At that time, there was only one picture in my mind, Shen Qiangrose holding the newborn child, with a happy and satisfied smile on her face. I don't know if the weather in the United States is cold or not, he has always longed to take her to a place where there is no war, away from the hustle and bustle, and live a quiet and peaceful life.

But this can undoubtedly only be an ideal, as a man, as the commander-in-chief of the Southlands, there are always too many burdens that cannot be unloaded.

When he slowly lost consciousness in the smoke, he felt that there was at least a moment when his life was complete. Although he failed her, when he learned the news of his death in the future, he hoped that she would have no other feelings except hatred, so that she could at least live alone.

When he woke up again, it was already the night of the third day, he never thought that the person he saw would be Qiao Yunhua, he tightened his face, and only said, "I saved you, but not for you, treat her well." ”

Before leaving, he also left a pass and a ticket to the United States.

He still remembered that Lin Ning and staff officer Zhao Zhiyong left in the car with the injured him overnight, he was groggy, he only remembered the parting that night, Shen Qiangrose's weeping eyes, begging him over and over again, as if there was still a fragrant fragrance in her hair at the end of his nose, supporting him to leave the bombed barren city, and the desolate and lonely world......

Slowly retracting his thoughts, his eyes looked at the surging sea water in the distance, the night wind was too cold, so he couldn't help coughing low, the gunshot wound on his chest ached faintly, and calmed down a little before he said, "Go back." ”

When I turned around, I saw that the door of the cabin was pushed open, and a large dim light came out of it, so that the person who pushed the door clearly came into view, and was talking to the person next to him, "I must have put the handkerchief on the bench just now, and I don't know if it was blown away by ......the wind."

As she spoke, she raised her head inadvertently, and then her eyes widened, as if she was looking at Su Huiyi in front of her in disbelief, and he was as if he had been hit by a blow, and he couldn't say a word.

Lin Ning, who was behind him, said happily: "Miss Shen, I finally found you!" ”

This voice finally recalled Shen Qiangrose's thoughts, she looked at Su Huiyi in a daze, there was not even a trace of blood on her face, her hands were tightly clutching the tassels hanging from her clothes, and she couldn't stop trembling slightly because she was too excited.

He asked softly, still unsure, "Is that you?" After speaking, he felt that his eyes were hot, and he was almost about to cry, he had already stepped forward to hug her in his arms, and he didn't care about the injury on his chest, he hugged her tightly, only to feel that such a strong emotion could not be suppressed, and he wanted to swallow him whole.

The fragrance of her hair came to her nose, like a beautiful white orchid blooming in summer, lingering in her heart, making up for all the shortcomings of the old dreams.

"It's me." His voice was mixed with unconcealed ecstasy, as if it was about to overflow from his heart, and he raised his eyes to see the vast sea ahead, and vaguely looked, as if he could already see the outline of the city behind the sea, he hugged her tightly and whispered: "This time, I will never leave again." ”

Because he knows, they all know, the past has been settled, there is still a future waiting, everything is in time, everything is just right.
