At this time, Lianzhou felt that the situation was ripe, and put her head in front of her mother: "Mother, if I like a girl from Beiping, will you agree?" Jingxian glanced at him and said nothing.Lianzhou was immediately frightened, "Mother, I'm not kidding, I like a girl, she is a nurse from Xiehe, is that okay?" Jingxian pinched his face: "If mother says no, are you going to roll around right now? Do you want me to agree?" Lian Zhou was delighted, she held Jingxian's arm, and leaned her head on Jingxian's shoulder: "Mother is the best, how can I disagree with the girl I like." Jingxian pushed away He, "Don't drug me, stand up, and tell me, who is that girl and what does she do at home? How did you know her?" Lianzhou stood beside her mother obediently: "The girl's surname is Lin, Her name is Lin Huiqiu, and she is from a wealthy family in Beiping. Her ancestors were officials in the capital for several times, and the family still has some property. The girl is a concubine, and her biological mother is the companion of the wife, who died when she was one year old. The wife treats her well. Not good, she left home to study at Xiehe Nursing School, and worked as a nurse at Xiehe Hospital after graduation. I once had a fever when I was playing basketball and sweated without putting on my clothes. I knew her when I was in the hospital and fell in love with her. Then , and then made an appointment to have a few meals and watch two movies."

Lianzhou just murmured while holding his mother's arm, Huanzhu was tired from sitting on the sofa, and asked Zhenghai to help him upstairs and back to his room.Huanzhu said that he wanted to lie down for a while, so Zhenghai gently took the door and went out.Huanzhu remembered that in a briefing from Peking that he just saw today, there was an arrested female Communist Party member named Lin Huiqiu.

In the living room downstairs, Jing Xian nodded: "Sounds like a self-reliant girl, but it's just her family." Lian Zhou shook her mother's arm, "Mother, you don't think she's a concubine, do I?" Jing Xian stared: "Who in this family treats you as a concubine?" Lianzhou hurried forward and put her arms around her mother: "Isn't that because you treat me as your own son? Well, I am your own son. That's why I said Then Huiqiu is pitiful, she said that apart from being able to eat a full meal, she is not as good as a girl." Jingxian sighed: "It's also a poor child, as long as you like it, you can bring it back for mother to see. Let's I don't want to ask for a dowry gift. She can treat you well, which is better than anything else. My mother can tell you that the living habits of northerners are different from ours, so don't complain when you look back." Lianzhou smiled and said: "I know , the dumplings made by Huiqiu are delicious, when he comes to our house, I will give you a taste."

Jing Xian frowned and asked, "Where does she make dumplings for you? Let me tell you, you are not allowed to do anything out of line if you are not married." Lian Zhou stuck out her tongue secretly, and even slipped her mouth when she got excited. , but quickly wiped it away "No, no, there are kerosene stoves in their girls' dormitories, and they can also make some noodles to eat. She cooked them for me to take to school." Jing Xian nodded his head: "It's better not to."

Holding the briefing in her hand, Huanzhu sat on the bed blankly, thinking about everything about Lianzhou carefully.His temptation to Zhenghai and Zhaoshi, the rush back from school during class time, the pistol in his luggage, Anan who sent him to Peking, all the time he thought of the wink he gave Xiaozhen in Tianchan's box.The stringing together of these details made her have to suspect that Lianzhou had close ties to the Communist Party, or that he was the Communist Party at all.Huanzhu doesn't have a bad impression of the Communist Party. She still remembers the sister of the Jin family who died in the 16th year of the Republic of China. She wore a green cheongsam and spoke very kindly.She likes her aunt very much. My aunt always praises her for her good flower patterns, teaches her to embroider and cut, and is alone quietly.Although she lost contact after leaving home and made her mother sad, Huanzhu still admires her for daring to find her own life.The situation is different now, it is Lianzhou, the younger brother who grew up with him.

Huanzhu was at a loss, her only support was Zhenghai, but she couldn't figure out Zhenghai's attitude on this matter.Zhenghai was very annoyed by Mr. Hong's agreement last year, but what annoyed him even more was that the Communist Party disclosed those contents to the public, which caused an uproar in the public opinion, which made Zhenghai feel that he was also playing tricks on tigers.Do you want to tell Uncle Er?The second uncle will let Lianzhou drop out of school, and will not allow him to go back to Peiping. Lianzhou will probably hate her for the rest of his life.Huanzhu knows that the Communist Party is a dangerous term, but she also knows that no one person can determine another person's beliefs.Of course, it is not ruled out that Huiqiu's identity is secret, and Lianzhou doesn't know about it, so Huanzhu decides to try it out.

Zhenghai has the habit of reading newspapers before going to bed. The newspapers are sorted and placed by the bedside, accompanied by a glass of milk before going to bed.Zhenghai touched her swollen belly: "You are heavy, I'll do it by myself in the future, don't tire you." Then he put his face on Huanzhu's belly: "Son, hurry up and play with your father for a while, Let me tell you, boy, don't kick your mother's belly at night." Huanzhu covered his mouth and smiled while watching the daily routine father-son conversation, pushed his head away, and lay down by himself.Zhenghai looked at the newspaper and sighed: "The Lushan training group has finally finished. Now let's see if we can fight a good battle. Hurry up and eliminate the communist bandits. The situation in North China is getting more and more tense. The Japanese are really greedy." He stroked Huanzhu's stomach again, "I'll tell you good news. We have copied the entire finance department of the Communist Party bandits in Shanghai, and we also found radio stations that contact the Soviet Union, Beiping, and Ruijin. We won a collective award, and I'm about to be promoted. It's a pity that I can't wear a military uniform like my second uncle. In fact, I have always envied my second uncle, who can directly carry a gun and go to the battlefield." Huanzhu was excited when he heard what he said, but his heart beat faster, and he turned over irritably .Zhenghai was alert immediately: "What's the matter with you, Huanzhu? Are you uncomfortable?" Huanzhu shook his head, pointed to his chest, Zhenghai asked: "Are you feeling stuffy again? It must be this kid who is moving against you again. You cover it Good quilt, I'll open the window to let you breathe."

Another window downstairs was also opened, and the damp cold air rushed in immediately.Lianzhou stood by the bed and shivered, it seemed that his brain was clearer, his hands were still shaking, he knew it was not because of the cold.Before going to sleep, the concierge sent him a letter, which was written in the tone of a classmate, "Ms. Linda was involved in a car accident on the road and is being rescued. After school starts, I will move back to the school dormitory. I will not live in the newspaper alley. Please do not disturb the teacher if he is weak. Beiping has been snowing heavily and the wind has been cold recently, and I was shocked to hear that the cold current came from the sea, Brother Wang cherishes himself, and don't go out easily."

Huiqiu was arrested at the gate of the printing factory, and she had newly edited Party publications in her handbag.She has been followed for several days, and the courtyard in Baofang Hutong has also been raided.The spies asked the neighbors, and they all said that Huiqiu lived with a Mr. Wang who worked in a foreign company.As for why Mr. Wang is not at home recently, no one can say clearly, and Mr. Leng who lives in the south room will naturally not tell his whereabouts.Mr. Leng watched as the spies searched the three houses in the north. They got a lot of foreign wine, chocolate, gold pens, pocket watches, and the brocade box containing the jade flute.Mr. Leng took a few dollars out of his pocket to stop them, "That flute belongs to me. The man surnamed Wang borrowed it to play with me two days ago and forgot to return it to me. It's not worth much. Why don't you take it to drink?" .” He took the jade flute and blew it twice, looking very skillful. "Although the secret agents knew that the jade flute must be more than five yuan, but the box was too big, and it was too ostentatious to take it out, so they waved their heads and let him take it away.

Huiqiu felt as if she had been brought into a basement, surrounded by darkness, only the wall lamps in the corridor were shining with eerie light, like the eyes of ghosts.She couldn't be sure who betrayed her, but she knew that the materials were found at the gate of the printing factory, and the printing factory would definitely not be able to keep them.She straightforwardly admitted the fact that she went to the printing factory to hand in the printed materials, but soon the spies asked Mr. Wang who lived with her in the newspaper alley.

Huiqiu became silent.

After the silence is the boundless darkness and nightmare.After the beast-like atrocities, the devils knew that she and Wang were just pretending to be husband and wife and had never been married before, so they started a new round of interrogation.The more she remained silent, the more they felt that she was an important person. In fact, this person was just too important to Huiqiu.There was only one pale yellow light bulb in the prison, very much like the flickering cigarette lamp on her aunt's bed.When she saw the fire light, her eyelids became heavy, did she just fall asleep like this?In the nightmare, the aunt's devil-like claws pinched her neck, tore her hair, and the broom sweeping the kang smashed her head and face.She was not enough, she pricked her hands with a hairpin, and scalded her thighs with a hot smoke pot.Huiqiu thought to herself, I will not beg for mercy from the devil, nor will I cry, I hate them, I want revenge.

Fortunately, when I woke up from the nightmare, a voice from the pile of straw next to me asked, "Are you awake?" At this moment, Huiqiu felt her lips were chapped and her throat seemed to be on fire.She moved slightly, and every cell in her body screamed.The voice in the straw said, "I know you hurt everywhere. There is water in the bowl above your head. If you can't stand the thirst, take it out with pain. My leg is broken and I can't help you."

Huiqiu's heart shuddered. Mr. Leng said that if a broken leg is not connected in time, it will be permanently disabled.Propping herself up on her elbows, she reached the rough china bowl on the shelf above her head, which was indeed half filled with cold water.After drinking the water, the fire in his throat seemed to be extinguished.The voice in the straw asked her: "The Communist Party?" Huiqiu was silent, but there was a chuckle from the other side: "Don't be tense, I am too. If you are not the daughter of the party, how can you fight against these beasts?" Listen After hearing these words, Huiqiu felt a little warmth in her heart.

The heart of Lian Zhou, who was far away in Shanghai, fell into the ice cellar. He understood the meaning of the letter, and Hui Qiu was in danger.But he couldn't save her, and there was nothing he could do to save her.Without Huiqiu, he couldn't contact the organization, besides, he was far away in Shanghai.The letter said that the cold current was coming from the sea, presumably the organization in Shanghai was also in danger, let alone act rashly.He could only obey the order to protect himself, Lianzhou felt as if his heart had been stabbed hard by something, the pain caused him to squat down, and finally simply sat on the floor, looking up at the melting moonlight outside the window.It’s almost Chinese New Year, and the moon has turned into a thin curve. Lianzhou once laughed at Hui Qiu, saying that she would look much better if she had a pair of crescent moon-like eyebrows. Hui Qiu picked up the pillow on the bed and threw it at him. .Lianzhou decided not to sleep tonight, he would miss his Huiqiu terribly, and wait until dawn to talk about everything.
