"Cheng Xuehua!" When Li Jingna found a girl of the same age as her from the crowd, she also let out an exclamation.

The girl who called Li Jingna immediately got up and leaned into the outer compartment: "Jingna, is it really you?" How did you get here? ”

"Xuehua... It's hard to put into words..."

It turned out that this girl named Cheng Xuehua and Li Jingna were not only classmates at the Women's Normal School, but also best friends. The two of them usually talk about everything, and they know each other's family backgrounds well. At this moment, Li Jingna, who has been adrift for several days, is the most helpless moment in her life, once she meets her best friend, it is like seeing the closest relatives in the world.

Cheng Xuehua's brows furrowed, and he immediately ordered a boy in the car: "Please help me bring my classmates up." ”

The boy naturally would not refuse to do a favor to a beautiful woman, and did not drag Li Jingna in the carriage, but jumped out of the car himself, and then diligently supported her delicate body.

Cheng Xuehua was responsible for pulling Li Jingna's hand on the carriage.

Li Jingna was exhausted at this time, and almost didn't make any effort by herself, and completely relied on others to pull her into the carriage.

When the car started again, Cheng Xuehua hugged Li Jingna who was leaning on her arms, and whispered in her ear: "Why are you wandering outside alone?" What the hell is going on? ”

Li Jingna had just calmed down a little emotionally, and she couldn't help choking up: "My husband was killed..."

Cheng Xuehua glared at her in amazement: "Your husband..."

"I... Already married... But he... But he was killed by the People's Liberation Army..."

When Cheng Xuehua heard this, he felt that his head was big, and he couldn't help but secretly look at the other people in the carriage. Fortunately, everyone was tired from the long journey, and no one paid attention to the whispers between them.

Cheng Xuehua was cautious, so she patiently did not ask for the time being, but hugged her tighter, so that she could have a comfortable resting position.

In the evening of the same day, the large truck full of young people finally stopped in front of an inn in a town. The entire inn was vacated for some of the young men who had gone through the long journey to rest.

Cheng Xuehua negotiated and finally got a small single room on the grounds that Li Jingna was sick, and happened to be alone with Li Jingna.

Li Jingna has not even slept a single sleep since she escaped from the house, and she is really sleepy, and she soon fell into bed and did not wake up.

Cheng Xuehua, who originally had something to ask, had to let her sleep enough first.

At three o'clock in the morning, Li Jingna finally woke up, and when she found Cheng Xuehua staring at her with big eyes, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Xuehua, didn't you sleep?" ”

Cheng Xuehua shook her head slowly: "Silly girl, I haven't figured out your condition yet, can you sleep?" ”

Li Jingna thought of something in a trance, and couldn't help asking, "What else do you want to know?" ”

Cheng Xuehua went straight to the point: "Is the husband you are talking about the same Liu Yuhu who joined the national army?" ”

Li Jingna nodded tearfully: "Hmm... He died so badly..."

"You said he was killed by the People's Liberation Army, what the hell is going on?"

Li Jingna calmed down her emotions and told Cheng Xuehua in detail about the situation of the Battle of Linyang.

The more Cheng Xuehua listened, the more angry she became, and finally when Li Jingna finished speaking, she couldn't help swinging her little fist and slamming the corner of the bed: "It's really hateful!" ”

Li Jingna was stunned at first, and then echoed: "It's really hateful." That PLA officer not only brutally killed Brother Yuhu, but also took away the token I gave to Brother Yuhu. I vowed to kill that PLA and take back my stuff. ”

Saying this, Li Jingna touched her package again and took out the dagger from it.

Cheng Xuehua was stunned: "Jing Na, what are you doing with a dagger?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm just letting you take a look. I'm ready to use it to slash my enemies. ”

Cheng Xuehua couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Just by using it, you can kill that People's Liberation Army?" I'm afraid you won't have a chance to get close to him. ”

Li Jingna raised her hand and scratched her scalp: "I know it's hard to succeed, but there's no way." It's a pity that there was no pistol. ”

"Jing Na, don't use your brains, you won't succeed."

Li Jingna thought that her best friend was worried about herself, so she told another plan: "I still have a way, when I catch up with the People's Liberation Army, I will commit myself to him because he has saved my life." If he wanted to possess me, he wouldn't have guarded against me. I can take advantage of it. ”

Cheng Xuehua felt incredible: "Jing Na, do you want to attack him by becoming the pillow person of the People's Liberation Army?" ”

Li Jingna's face flushed: "In order to take revenge, I don't even want my own life, can I still take care of my own reputation?" To tell you the truth, I just had a dream like this, I dreamed that the People's Liberation Army was interested in me, and when he was asleep, I pulled out the dagger hidden under the pillow and killed him. ”

Cheng Xuehua couldn't help but shake his head: "Fortunately, this is just a dream, I hope it will never become a reality." ”

Li Jingna was a little confused: "Are you worried about me?" ”

"I'm worried about you, worried that you've done something stupid and made yourself a sinner for the ages."

Li Jingna felt incredible: "What? Will I be a sinner for the ages? ”

"Yes, Liu Yuhu has become a sinner through the ages. Do you want to follow in his footsteps? ”

Li Jingna strongly disagreed: "He is a hero, how can he be a sinner through the ages?" ”

Cheng Xuehua looked extremely indignant: "I also heard some about the tragic Battle of Linyang. This is entirely Liu Yuhu's foolish loyalty and personal heroism for his party-state, and as a result, thousands of lives were sacrificed for him. He is simply innocent of death, isn't he still a sinner for the ages? ”

"You?"

Li Jingna didn't expect her best friend to lash out at her like this, and she twisted her body to the side in anger.

Cheng Xuehua thought about it for a while, calmed down her excitement, and patiently said to her: "If Liu Yuhu died on the battlefield to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, then he is not only a hero, but also a national hero. But who is he fighting for? Now that the whole country is about to be liberated, the people will be the masters of their own affairs, and how many tens of thousands of soldiers of the national army have laid down their arms in accordance with this great historical trend, and even joined the People's Liberation Army one after another. However, Liu Yuhu went against the tide of history and vainly wanted to hinder the country's liberation process. He was, in fact, a victim of the reactionaries who obstructed this great process of liberation. Excuse me, is it worth his death? ”

After some painstaking reasoning by Xue Hua, Li Jingna's mind was finally shaken, and she couldn't help but be speechless when she recalled what she had seen and heard along the way.

Cheng Xuehua patted her on the shoulder at this time: "If you still can't tell the difference between right and wrong, then look down and history will make the right conclusion." ”

Li Jingna nodded: "Okay, I won't take revenge on the People's Liberation Army for the time being, but I still have to find him." ”

Cheng Xuehua was stunned: "Why?" ”

"I want my purse back."

Cheng Xuehua felt incredible: "For the sake of a mere purse, is it worth you to go all over the world to find that People's Liberation Army?" ”

Li Jingna's pretty face flushed: "Don't you know, according to the customs of our hometown, the girl's purse can only be given to her own man." What's the matter with my purse? ”

Cheng Xuehua suddenly sneered: "What if you find him, and he refuses to return the purse to you?" ”

"Why didn't he pay it back?"

"What if he likes that purse?"

Li Jingna was stunned: "Then what should I do?" ”

"If you don't want to destroy the customs of your hometown, you just have to marry him."

Li Jingna's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she said angrily: "Xuehua, how can I marry him?" Are you kidding me? ”

Cheng Xuehua suddenly looked solemn: "I'm not exactly joking. You like Liu Yuhu, don't you just think he's a hero? In fact, the People's Liberation Army is the real hero. And you, in the end, need a man to take care of you. Is it still for the sake of Liu Yuhu, who has no husband and wife, to be widowed for the rest of his life? ”

Li Jingna shook her head again and again: "I will never!" Even if I marry a lame and blind man in the future, I will not marry the People's Liberation Army who has the revenge of killing my husband. ”

Cheng Xuehua saw that she had made concessions, so she stopped pushing her too deeply, and comforted her a few more words.

Li Jingna's mood calmed down a little, and she suddenly said curiously: "Xuehua, where are you people going?" ”

Cheng Xuehua replied with a smile: "We are going to work in various cities in the south. The place I'm going to is Shangjiang. ”

"What are you going to do in Shangjiang?"

Cheng Xuehua explained: "The whole country is basically liberated at present, and there is an urgent need for a large number of intellectuals in various places. Considering that my hometown was in Shangjiang, the organization assigned me to teach in a national middle school in Shangjiang. I heard that there is a shortage of teachers there, and those students are the future builders of New China. ”

"Organization? Are you organized? ”

"Yes, I secretly joined the party when I was in school. You only know that I am an orphan, but my parents died for the revolution. ”

When Li Jingna heard her best friend say this, she knew her true identity and couldn't help sighing.

After a while, Li Jingna couldn't help but be curious: "Since you don't have any relatives, and you have been away from Shangjiang for many years, when you get there, who will you go to?" ”

Cheng Xuehua took out an envelope from his carry-on package at this time, and motioned to Li Jingna: "This is a letter of introduction from the organization. I took it to Shangjiang, and as soon as I looked for the military committee there, they could settle my life. ”

Li Jingna curiously took out the letter of introduction from the envelope, looked at it, and returned it to her best friend.

Cheng Xuehua carefully put away the letter of introduction and sighed: "Alas, I left Shangjiang since I was a child, and I have no impression of Shangjiang for a long time. Although it was my hometown, it was no different from a strange city. ”

Li Jingna was still puzzled: "In that case, why did you choose to go back there?" ”

"This is the need of the state, and for me personally, there are my roots after all. It is my responsibility to cultivate a large number of outstanding talents for my hometown. ”

Li Jingna is envious of her best friend who is full of lofty burdens, and at the same time is worried about her own situation.

Cheng Xuehua changed her words at this time: "Jing Na, what are your plans next?" ”

Li Jingna shook her head gloomily: "I don't have any plans." Now I can't find that People's Liberation Army, and I don't want to go back to that home in Linyang, when I think of him dying there, I'm..."

Cheng Xuehua's heart moved: "Why don't you go to Shangjiang with me?" ”

Li Jingna's eyes lit up: "Is this okay?" ”

"Definitely, I will ask you to teach and educate people with me, and we sisters will do our part for New China together!"

Li Jingna looked at her best friend with a confident look, and finally said: "Okay, I'll go to Shangjiang with you!" ”
