heard

The morning sun leaked down from the gaps in the clouds again, and the sky spread quickly, like a scroll with a broken belt, exposing all the scenery to the people.Shigeyoshi Hisakawa was sitting in the back seat of the military command vehicle, with Kennosuke Okamura beside him. He didn't want to spy any more, but just cast his eyes aimlessly at the street view outside the window, his face was calm: I have done my best, and the rest, It's all good fortune.

Lu Songnian jumped to his death in front of everyone yesterday. The scene was tragic, not to mention the patrolling soldiers, many students also saw it with their own eyes.From a certain point of view, this is exactly what Dong Ri would like to see, so that those who pretend to be noble can see clearly whether they have the courage to do this; Nothing to be afraid of.The downfall of Shunchang will always be a sharp weapon to suppress opponents.Shigeyoshi Hisakawa believed that Chen Xu would hear the news soon, so he simply proposed to Okamura Kennosuke to postpone the meeting on the spot. No one would joke with the enemy before the news of the death of a close friend, which he could not refuse.

Shigeyoshi Hisakawa still remembered that time, he watched Okamura's hat brim move slowly, his heart was shaken, and at the same time he felt shamefully relieved.Although he didn't have a close relationship with Lu Songnian, he had already heard about it, and the psychological impact of that jump was not much less than that of Chen Xu.But Shigeyoshi Jiuchuan knew better, if it wasn't for this sudden accident, he would be a hundred times more miserable than Lu Songnian.He had seen the East Sun torture chamber before. When his body was subjected to extreme torture, his dignity, faith, and spirit would all collapse, and even death became a luxury.He didn't dare to think about it, because he knew too well that such an end was waiting for him ahead.

The years and years spent in Shangyou University are facts that Hisakawa Shigeyoshi cannot hide from his identity.Since he was a boy, he has boarded on the campus of Shanghai University, and later studied here, and met Chen Xu, a mentor who influenced life and value shaping.He knew that at that time Chen Xu wanted to make a general history with an open horizon in the true sense; he knew that Shanghai National University did not set up a subject of Eastern Japan and Western History, but Chen Xu still wanted him to study it.It was also from then on that he vaguely felt that Chen Xu wanted to train him as his successor.Undoubtedly, they are all devout to historiography, and the unfinished business of one generation can be regarded as complete without regret if it can be passed on from generation to generation-if it is not for the cannon fire and a turning point.

After getting along for many years, Hisakawa Shigeyoshi is too familiar with the teacher's temperament, so he understands what will happen if he meets rashly.Chen Xu has always lived up to his name. He is a diligent and open-minded man and a scholar. If there is any doubt, he must investigate the root cause. If there is any injustice, he will raise his arms and cry out. He lives a simple and pure life.Hisakawa Shigeyoshi remembers that he praised the people of Song Dynasty for their sense of family and country, which is different from the previous dynasty, so it is not surprising that he vowed to die and refused to bow to Dongri, and it is almost conceivable how surprised he would be when he came with Okamura to persuade him to surrender And anger, how impatient to ask to understand.Hisakawa Shigeyoshi knew that he was still afraid, fearing that his teacher would not be so sensitive, flexible, and understanding of the world, so that he would push the two of them into a situation where there would be no redemption.However, by now, it was already inevitable.

Lu Songnian's death gave him room to maneuver, but it was only a temporary relief.Okamura Kennosuke thought it would be like this, but he didn't force it. He only sent a few people to watch, and he called it "Shang Yunchu's decision that the situation was unstable at first, for safety's sake."At that time, Hisakawa Shigeyoshi looked at his unfathomable eyes, and suddenly abandoned all fluke fantasies, so clearly realizing that his only value lies in connecting with old students, whether it is for the boss or Kennosuke Okamura.And the limit of what he can do is to take the risk of sending a report to the rear - the other party has no response.Perhaps the temporary station at the main station has caught his signal, but no one has responded; perhaps the station is still moving, and he happened to catch up with the blank time.But time has not allowed to wait any longer.

The so-called do one's best and obey the destiny, that's probably the case!Hisakawa Shigeyoshi closed his eyes, and the car drove towards Shangda. The street view outside the window turned into colorful spots, which kept passing by his eyes, but he was obviously not reconciled.The boss never gave a positive explanation for the incident at the Shangyong Railway Station before. As expected, Shigeyoshi Hisakawa even had a thought that made people feel chills behind his back. Let the information at hand be invalidated?He didn't dare to think about it, as if he had decided that the main station would not help these stranded teachers and students, but he still had to try to hit the south wall before giving up.

The car was so quiet that only the roar of the motor could be heard. Kennosuke Okamura looked sideways at the reflection in the glass, and said playfully, "Jiukawa-kun, are you nervous?" Hisakawa Shigeyoshi raised his eyes and looked back, smiling awkwardly: "Let Okamura-san Just kidding, when I was living in China, I caused a lot of trouble under Chen Jun, you understand things like strict teachers and bad apprentices." Although it was a joke, his expression became solemn, and his voice gradually became stagnant, "Although Chen Jun Stubbornness, but it is kind to me, now that he is hostile to Dongri, I always don't want to see him end up in a dead end."

The outline of the big bell of Mingde Building appeared at the end of the road. Kennosuke Okamura looked straight ahead, remained silent for a while, and said with emotion: "Mr. Jiuchuan is really a person who values ​​love and righteousness. I don't know whether Mr. Chen appreciates this painstaking effort." Yes." Hisakawa Shigeyoshi replied calmly: "In any case, I have tried my best, but there is one more thing I would like to ask Mr. Okamura: when teachers and students meet, it is inevitable that there are some things that are inconvenient to say in public, and I hope to give us some time to get along alone. Time." Okamura Kennosuke sized him up, narrowed his eyes a little, and said in a calm but undeniable tone: "Jiukawa-kun's move may be inappropriate. You saw it yesterday, and Lu Jun and Chen Jun were too emotional. If the rebirth later makes a mistake and causes harm to you or Chen Jun, it will be my fault."

While speaking, the military command vehicle drove into the campus, and the pedestrians along the road had already dodged and evaded with some winks, but they went on unimpeded.Hisakawa Shigeyoshi listened to the meaning of his words, knowing that there was no possibility of dealing with it, so he simply looked at the scenery outside the window and didn't say another word.The car stopped in front of the Qinyuan teaching building, Shigeyoshi Jiukawa and his group went up to the second floor, and sure enough, they saw several soldiers guarding the familiar room.After the air raid on Shanghai, the teachers and students who failed to leave still stayed in the school for the time being. Later, the East Japanese army stationed in Shanghai University, but strict control was not implemented. For literati, this is enough.

Shigeyoshi Hisakawa stopped in front of the door, watched Kennosuke Okamura show off his white gloves, and raised his hand to knock on the door.There was no movement inside, so Okamura calmed down and knocked again after waiting for a while.The people in the room seemed to know that such arrogance was useless, so they responded stiffly for a while: "The door is unlocked, let's go in!" Okamura Kennosuke stopped talking, opened the door halfway, and looked sideways. Hisakawa Shigeyoshi glanced at it and stepped in.Chen Xu was sitting at the desk by the window copying the papers, and he didn't turn his head when he heard the sound, he just left the words: "Why, Okamura Zhongzuo thought of something to say again today?"

Kennosuke Okamura smiled, not thinking of disobedience, and still politely said: "Chen Jun, I am very sorry for what happened to Mr. Lu, and I know that you must not want to see us, so today I specially invited an old friend here as a It’s to talk to you, to relieve boredom.” Hearing the word “old friend”, Chen Xu slowly put down his pen, looked at Kennosuke Okamura in surprise, and turned to look for it.The person whose eyes touched the door suddenly shrank as if being scorched by flames.Okamura Kennosuke saw everything in his eyes, took a half step back calmly, and saw Hisakawa Shigeyoshi bowing politely, and said, "Teacher, I am Shigeyoshi, do you remember?"

After Chen Xu was surprised at first, his face became more gloomy. His eyes kept wandering around the two of them, and he smiled angrily: "Jiukawa Shigeyoshi, you dare to persuade me for them?" The voice was hoarse because of excitement, It's not like usual gentle and peaceful, "Don't call me a teacher, I don't have a student like you! I was in a daze, I believed in cultural identity, and I ended up teaching a white-eyed wolf. It's not enough to sleep in flowers and sleep in willows. Now it's even more so. Learn to use Chinese things to deal with China!"

Shigeyoshi Hisakawa was scolded embarrassingly under the eyes of everyone, and said after a while: "Teacher, Dongri is my motherland, and I also regard China as my hometown. I don't want to hurt anyone, let alone we haven't seen each other for many years. Please allow me to say a few words." !" Hisakawa Shigeyoshi didn't know how much Kennosuke Okamura, who was on the sidelines, could believe these words, but the shock in his heart at that moment was absolutely true.Ever since he was arrested for participating in the crime, there has been no news from Shanghai. It is impossible for Chen Xu to know that he is working for the Supervisory Bureau, and it is even more impossible to know his identity and experience in Dongri. The words that come out of the mouth are clearly covering for him!

Hisakawa Shigeyoshi couldn't figure out the joints, and the situation didn't allow him to delve into it, so he could only play out the scene half-truths and half-falsely according to the rhetoric he had planned: "Teacher, I know that Chinese people always value integrity, but in everything It must have its value. You told me that before the Five Dynasties, the loyalty of courtiers was often to the emperor personally, while the concept of the state in the modern sense was gradually formed in the Song Dynasty. The root cause is that the environment has changed and the times have changed. "He paused for a while, looked at Chen Xu's face, and then continued, "Look at how many people are wearing suits and leather shoes today, and they regard it as fashion. You can see that the current situation is changing..."

Chen Xu interrupted unceremoniously: "What exactly do you want to say?" Hisakawa Shigeyoshi looked at the past with a clear voice: "You have also seen that Western countries are embezzling our wealth, dividing our land, and attacking our country. Civilization, since China is not enough to preserve it, what's wrong with our countries in East Asia uniting and helping each other to tide over the crisis together?" "Sophistry!" Chen Xu sneered, with sarcasm beyond words, "What did Dongri do on the land of China? Don't you know it yourself? Under the banner of a high-sounding sound, you do all the despicable and indecent things behind your back, such a hypocrite is not as frank as a real villain!"

Hisakawa Shigeyoshi did not refute, and met Chen Xu's sullen eyes with a sincere expression: "Even if it is what you said, what can you change? Do you want to call on these students who stay in Shangzhou to follow the example of Mr. Lu?" He said He knew that what he said was very serious, and if he was an ordinary person, he would definitely lose his face on the spot, but he decided to try, betting on the tacit understanding between the teacher and the student, whether he could make the other party understand what he meant: Dongri custom always favors the strong and bullies the weak, now Putting on this posture is nothing but consideration of public opinion, and there is absolutely no reason to be serious about it. Instead of bending at this time and being the second Lu Songnian, it is better to pretend to give in temporarily and make a long-term plan to wait for an opportunity to get out.

As expected, Chen Xu's expression became very ugly, as if he could raise his hand and slap the other person's face in the next moment.Okamura Kennosuke looked at the posture of the two of them, and thought about going forward to smooth things over. Before he could speak, he heard Hisakawa Shigeyoshi say again: "After Yashan, the cultural context has not been broken; Dachang has been a hundred years old, and no one is unaware of it. Ancestor. Teacher, I believe that you have the same courage and determination as Lu Jun, but I don’t want to see it, and I don’t think it’s worth it. Your talent should be left to history, and to handed down works. Chinese things, if by If they are discarded together with the old dynasty without distinction, and become dead characters sleeping on the page, then China will really die.”

After a while, Hisakawa Shigeyoshi kept silent, leaving enough time for him to think.Chen Xu has never had a city in his chest, and even though his anger is still there, it can be seen that he has listened to what he said. Hisakawa Shigeyoshi carefully weighed up: "Even if you can let go of these students, let go of the general history, let go What about yourself, what about Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu came from a long distance just to help you deliver the books for writing historical manuscripts, but unfortunately, he stays in Shangyang forever. How can you be worthy of him if you give up so easily?"

The temperature rose in the afternoon, and the small room was full of people, making it even more cramped and stuffy.Chen Xu calmed down unexpectedly, and looked at the students in front of him carefully, then scanned Kennosuke Okamura and the others in turn, and his eyes fell back on Hisakawa Shigeyoshi: "If I believe in what you are teaching, do this honor Principal, don't you teach the students to surrender to the enemy and betray the country, what kind of face do you have, and I'm afraid you can't be more sorry for Lu Jun's kindness?" Even so, his tone was softer than before, as if his heart had begun to waver.

Shigeyoshi Hisakawa smiled, and still followed him to comfort him: "Teacher, that's not what you said..." The ending sounded long, but he stopped talking, but turned his head and gave Kennosuke Okamura a wink, saying The implication could not be more obvious: Chinese literati all pay attention to cherishing feathers. This kind of demeanor and humiliation is in full view. How can people put their face down? Do you want to persuade them?The brilliant golden sky sifted down through the window lattice, Kennosuke Okamura's expression was cloudy, hesitating for a while, he raised his hand to signal, and led the entourage out of the door.

Shigeyoshi Jiuchuan watched from the corner of his eye, and simply took Chen Xu's hand, half pushed and half pushed, and walked towards the back room: "Teacher, you see that these irrelevant people have also dispersed, just the two of us, teachers and students, have a good heart-to-heart talk. Any misunderstandings, any worries, just say no to it—" Knowing that Okamura Kennosuke will not dispel his doubts, Hisakawa Shigeyoshi did not dare to take it lightly, turned his back to cover his sight, and quickly gestured in Chen Xu's palm : Mo Duo asked, I tried to help you out, please cooperate.

Through the thick lens of the person in front of him, Shigeyoshi Hisakawa saw the complex emotions of caring and care in the eyes of his former mentor, and all kinds of feelings suddenly came to his heart.But he finally smiled calmly, then looked away, suppressed the pain in his heart, and deliberately raised his voice to listen outside the door: "I knew, teacher, you have a knife and a bean curd heart, and you will never abandon me as a student... ..." The window panes in the inner room divide the outdoor scenery and fall into the eyes, which is just the time of spring.
