The sky was slowly darkening, and the breeze on the water was cool. The dark night sky was shining with ghost-eyed stars, and the grass around him resounded with the mournful sound of insects. Liu Zifeng walked mechanically, his mind was as chaotic as green smoke, and he had an anxious and painful mood that no one could understand. He stepped on his lonely shadow, continued to walk aimlessly, and unconsciously came to the door of Yude Girls' High School. He grabbed the iron door and looked inside, and the campus was gloomy and dark. He looked at it again to make sure there were no lights or figures, but he turned and walked forward.

When he looked up again, he saw a tavern nearby, and a wooden sign with the word "wine" hanging at the door. Maybe it's because of the economic depression in troubled times, or maybe it's because the tavern business is not good, there are few customers in the tavern, and many tables are empty.

Liu Zifeng entered the tavern, went straight to the second floor, and sat down in a secluded corner. He touched his pocket, and there was a big ocean, so he called the waitress, ordered two small dishes at random, asked for a pot of soju, and poured himself a drink.

Liu Zifeng drank the wine and sorted out his thoughts at the same time. Unexpectedly, the more he reasoned, the more chaotic he became, he drank two glasses of wine in one go, and his mood felt much more relaxed.

At this time, a girl also walked into the tavern and ran directly to the second floor as if she had made an appointment. Liu Zifeng took a sip of wine, put the cup down, and was about to call the waiter, but before he could fully understand, the girl appeared in front of him.

"It's Qingfang, how do you know I'm here?" Liu Zifeng looked up and asked in surprise.

Qingfang smiled: "It was a refugee who saw you coming here and told me." I didn't expect it to be you. How, isn't it welcome? ”

"How can you not be welcome, please take a seat." Liu Zifeng said with some embarrassment.

Qingfang hurriedly pulled a stool and sat opposite Liu Zifeng, stretched out his head and teased: "It's really not interesting to come out alone to drink and not call me!" ”

"Hey!" Liu Zifeng sighed and continued: "I felt a little bored today, so I came here. I'm drinking alcohol, and I'm afraid I'll infect you with bad feelings. ”

Qingfang stared at Liu Zifeng and said, "Excuse, pure excuse." I know you don't like me! She poured herself a glass of wine, tilted her neck and drank it, her face flushed.

Qingfang put the cup on the table, filled the wine glass to herself, and then asked softly, "What are you worried about, say it and listen to it." ”

Liu Zifeng said with a depressed look: My father is sick at home, and there are so many things to do, I have no fixed job and income, and I see that my family is anxious, but I can't help, so I am panicked!

Qingfang comforted: "This is a mess, it's good to have something to eat, and you have done your best at home, don't be too embarrassed." ”

"I often comfort myself like this, but when I think of the difficulties at home, I can't help but feel depressed, and I hate myself for not being able to do it."

Coincidentally, the hotel guy walked by, and Qingfang stopped him: "Little brother, come here for a few more soup dumplings, the stuffing wants shrimp meat, hurry up." ”

"Okay!" The hotel guy shouted and left.

After the hotel guy left, Qingfang happily raised the wine glass full of wine: "What can I do if I am upset, and I can't solve the problems at home, I still have to open some." Zifeng, it's rare to get together today, come, let's have a drink. Liu Zifeng also poured a full bottle of wine, picked up the wine glass and touched it, and drank it all.

Qingfang sighed with emotion: "This wine is very fragrant...... Zifeng, I didn't expect us to meet and meet in the refugee place, it's very fateful!

"Yes, on this Drum Island, there are a few and more than 100,000 people, and it is really not easy to get to know each other!" Liu Zifeng smiled after speaking.

At this time, the hotel guy came over with two cages of soup dumplings and said softly, "Miss, you want soup dumplings."

Qingfang said, "Put it down." ”

The tavern guy put down the soup bag and asked, "Miss, what else do you command?" ”

"No, you can get out." Qingfang said.

The tavern guy glanced at Qingfang again and walked out gently.

Qingfang picked up a mouthful of food and put it on Liu Zifeng's plate, looked at Liu Zifeng again, and said affectionately: Zifeng, although we haven't known each other for a long time, I found that you are very patriotic and tolerant, and you know how to care and considerate people, you are a good man, I originally thought you were an anti-Japanese element or a blood soul group?

"That's not because of your influence, when you marched, you waved your arms, and thousands of people responded positively, like a general commanding thousands of troops, so majestic!" Liu Zifeng said wittily.

Qingfang said embarrassedly: I was on a whim, but in fact, I was very timid!

"Anyway, I think you are quite remarkable, Chinese should be like you, compared with you, I haven't done enough!" Liu Zifeng said modestly.

Qingfang said shyly: How can I be as good as you say, you can also talk about yourself!

"I was born in a poor family in Xiamen, and my parents are inconspicuous ordinary people, so there is nothing to say!" Liu Zifeng picked up his wine glass and drank another glass.

Qingfang snatched the wine glass and said angrily: "Don't drink, drinking can't solve the problem." Didn't you once say that the water is more flowing when you draw a knife and cut off the water, and the sorrow is more sorrowful when you raise a glass to pour it? ”

"Well, well, listen to you, then tell me about your legendary experience!" Liu Zifeng put down his wine glass and said.

"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you!" Qingfang paused and said: "I was born in a small fishing village in Shanghai, my father is a fisherman, my mother is a tailor, the living conditions of the family are okay, my parents provided for me to go to primary and secondary school, and later to Xiamen University......

At this time, there was a rush of military boots downstairs in the restaurant, followed by a noise, and Japanese spies came downstairs.

"What's going on, such a mess downstairs?" Qingfang asked with some panic.

Liu Zifeng shook his head.

As they spoke, a Japanese spy with a few plainclothes men rushed up to the second floor in a menacing manner.

The spy who walked in front shouted at the customers in the hall: "Hey, hey, you all come here, pay the protection fee, hurry up!" ”

The two looked at each other, and they both felt ridiculous.

Liu Zifeng looked at the spy and actually laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at, talking about you!" The spy shouted at Liu Zifeng.

Liu Zifeng said indifferently: "You have to pay protection money for eating, what kind of rules do you have?" ”

The Japanese spy looked at Liu Zifeng and said with contempt: "Who, who is so bold and dares to break Uncle Ben's rules?" ”

Liu Zifeng said-for-tat: If you rob and seize like this, aren't you afraid that the patrol of the Ministry of Industry will arrest you?

"Hehe, patrol, they're a ball!" The Japanese spy said arrogantly.

The Japanese spies came to their table as they spoke, and they looked at Liu Zifeng and then at Nian Qingfang.

The Japanese spy couldn't help but say obscenely: "Tut, little girl, so beautiful!" ”

"Well, pretty, really pretty." A few plainclothes people were coaxing.

"Then let me take a good look." The Japanese spy smiled lewdly and stretched out his hand and touched Qingfang's face.

Liu Zifeng pushed the spy's arm away: "What do you want to do?" ”

"You say, what do I want to do?" The spy punched Liu Zifeng in the face, and blood immediately flowed out of his nostrils.

Liu Zifeng was suddenly anxious, and he waved his fist at the Japanese spy.

Several spies rushed up and blocked him. They pulled and dragged Liu Zifeng to the ground, and the plainclothes men punched and kicked Liu Zifeng, and they kept scolding while kicking: "You don't look at who we are, you want to fucking die!" ”

Liu Zifeng covered his head with his hands and screamed in pain, his body curled up into a ball.

Qingfang screamed in fright, and she shouted loudly: "Someone, kill someone!" ”

At this moment, there was a siren outside. A group of Englishmen with high noses, thick black beards, and leather boots approached.

I heard someone shouting downstairs: "The patrol is coming......"

The Japanese spy was flustered for a while. He shouted at a few plainclothes people: "Stop fighting, the patrolmen are coming, go quickly."

A few plainclothes people hurriedly stopped their hands and ran downstairs from the staircase on the other side in a panic.

Qingfang hurriedly helped Liu Zifeng up, Liu Zifeng had been beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his face was bleeding.

Qingfang wiped Liu Zifeng's face with a handkerchief, and said very sadly: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" ”

"It's none of your business, it's just cheap for these dog spies." Liu Zifeng scolded indignantly.
