On the 28th, Peiping fell.The worst situation has already happened, Lin Zhi and I packed our bags and formally joined the escape team.

Before that, I called Minhua, but no one answered. I guess I had boarded the train leaving Hebei long ago. I wanted to say thank you, but it was too late to say goodbye.

We were going to get on the train bound for Xinzhou, Shanxi. When the devils came from the east, we fled to the west.After running away, I don't know when I will be able to return, so before going to the station, I discussed with Lin Zhi that I would go back to my hometown first.

Lin Zhi understood that I couldn't let go of my family, so he agreed without saying a word.I was carried on the back seat of the bicycle, and Lin Zhi stepped on his foot towards his hometown.Due to the long distance, Lin Zhi struggled a lot. Every five kilometers we walked, we had to stop at the side of the road to rest. Fortunately, we met a large truck willing to take us, which saved us the effort of walking for a while, but in the end, It still took half a day to reach Mingxi Village.

On the way to my hometown, I felt very nervous. After four years of separation, I am afraid that things have changed. I ran away from home twice, and I don’t know how my parents will treat me.But now that the situation is pressing, the children's affair, the family enmity, all seem insignificant, I hope this meeting will not cause any waves.

After a long journey, I finally returned to my hometown. I looked up and saw that the "Liu Mansion" plaque on the gate was still standing.I knocked on the door, but there was no response for a while. I knocked harder a few times, but there was still no response.

At this point we knew each other well, and I pushed hard at the door, but the door was not locked.When we stepped in, a feeling of loneliness spread out, there was no human breath here.

Although the ominous premonition filled my heart, I searched through the entire house with the last glimmer of hope. In the end, Lin Zhi witnessed how I rushed in anxiously and then stepped out in frustration.

He took my hand and pulled me back to reality: "Let's go."

I don't know when the family moved out of their hometown, but if they escape the war zone as soon as possible and are safe, I will feel at ease.

It was already late at night when we arrived at the nearest train station. We bought our train tickets and walked to the platform through the packed crowd.I thought the waiting area was already crowded enough, but the platform is even more spectacular. A person’s head is wriggling in the narrow gap. If you want to get from your shoulders to the sides of the platform, it’s just a dream!At this moment, I even wondered if all the people in Baoding were in this station.

About 5 minutes later, a steam train slowly arrived.Although the time was short, the hot and depressing environment and the accompanying sweat smell made the short 5 minutes seem like an hour.

The crowd gradually squirmed, and we began to take small steps towards the train.About halfway through, I suddenly looked up and realized that it was not a passenger train, but a cargo train.

Just when I was wondering, I stepped on the train with one foot unconsciously. We walked to the carriage with small steps and saw a group of people sitting on the ground. I suddenly realized the importance of using a freight train to carry passengers. reason.

In this extraordinary period, the number of people migrating with their families must be immeasurable. It is estimated that the train company has increased the number of trains as much as possible, but after all, the number of trains is limited. Make the most of it.On the contrary, the carriages of freight trains are empty, as long as there are vacant seats, you can sit, and the passenger capacity in disguise is higher than that of passenger trains. Of course, there is this chaotic scene.

In the carriage, people sat in a mess, and some people even lay down. Lin Zhi and I stepped over them carefully, and sat down in a small place at random. At this time, the two women beside me were shoulder-to-shoulder. shoulder to shoulder.

There was nowhere to put a big box, so I asked Lin Zhi to squat up a little, and put the box flat, and we sat on the box.However, when the train was about to leave the platform, we suddenly felt heat up our spines. Looking back, we found that an old man had also sat on the box. Although we were disgusted, there was no room for criticism in this situation.

After a while, the train left.Amidst the rumbling sound, I cast my eyes out of the window to let go, and it was pitch black outside the window, only the outline of the mountain reflected by the moonlight.It was the same at first.

After a while, the light bulbs in the carriage flickered and then went out.The scenery outside the window brightened instantly. Although the train drove for more than an hour, it was mostly mountain scenery, but it didn't prevent me from staring in a daze.

Lin Zhi's heavy head was pressed on my shoulder, and he fell asleep at some point. Also, he must be exhausted after running around all day today. Unfortunately, he is so tired and there is no place for him to rest.I looked around the entire carriage, and there was a dead silence. Most people closed their eyes, not sure if they were asleep or trying to fall asleep.My head also became groggy. I took out Lin Zhi's pocket watch and looked. It turned out that it was past one o'clock in the morning, and the train was going nowhere. I'm afraid it would be after dawn that I arrived in Xinzhou. My head was not clear. , unconsciously turned his head to Lin Zhi's side and fell asleep.

In the morning, I was woken up by the glare of the sun outside the window. I opened my eyes slightly, and found that there were already many awake people, staring at exhausted eyes, continuing to be in a state of sleep but not sleep.

How many are locals here, and how many are from other provinces?Although it is obvious that there are families who fled, there are also those who are alone. Are they from other provinces?Can you meet your family again?Did they go to Xinzhou because their hometown is in Xinzhou?

Such a large-scale migration would only have occurred during the Chinese New Year in the past.It's just that after leaving, I don't know when and what month I will be able to come back.

Lin Zhi and I decided to go to Xinzhou. In fact, we only wanted to avoid the devils. We had no relatives there, and we didn't know how to live in the future. If the devils came to Shanxi, we would continue to flee to the west. .As long as I casually imagine that the next days are like wandering, we have no fixed place to live, and we have to always take care of the devil's shells. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel uneasy.

War!It is inevitable that there will be casualties, which has always been the case in ancient and modern China and abroad.Yes, so, I hate war, and I believe that there is no ordinary person who does not hate war.Living in such a big era, I really have no other choice.

If you think about it pessimistically, there might be a group of devils waiting for us in Xinzhou, and we will be shot through the intestines by machine guns as soon as we get out of the car.So we only have an hour or two left in our lives.What can we do if the worst happens?

After a section of mountainside, Lin Zhi finally woke up.His head was off my shoulder, twisting his neck in pain while massaging.

"Are you okay?" I asked softly.

"Well, it just hurts a little, and I can't turn my head away." He said, and turned his head a little more carefully.

"Lin Zhi, are you awake now?"

Lin Zhi looked at me puzzled: "Huh? Sober."

"I have something to tell you."

"You say it."

I saw that he was still sleepy, and took back the words that were about to spit out: "I don't want it anymore, you are in a mess now, it's hard to think about the problems you will face next."

Lin Zhi was so anxious by my betrayal, he quickly stared at me with big round eyes, forcing me to tell the truth: "I'm very sober now, hurry up and tell me!"

I was amused by him, and I grinned a heartfelt smile on my extremely stiff face: "Then I told you, don't be scared."

"Speak, speak."

"Let's get married, now! Immediately!"

Lin Zhi's eyes widened even wider than before, and he froze there motionless, unable to make a sound for a long time.

"What? Don't you want to?" I asked tentatively.

"No, no!" Lin Zhi hesitated nervously, his cheeks and ears were flushed, "I am willing! It's just...too sudden!"

Lin Zhi's excited look cheered me up, I held his hand, and the spring breeze blew my face: "Great, then let's hold the ceremony."

"Ritual? How is it held here?"

"That's right." I flipped through the oblique bag and took out a steamed bun wrapped in paper. "We didn't eat much dry food yesterday. Look, there is still a steamed bun."

I broke the steamed bun in half and gave him half: "We don't have wine, so use this as a bar."

"But there is still no witness."

Lin Zhi was right, how could a wedding be without witnesses?

I quietly glanced around, and saw that the old man behind us was still sitting on the box with our backs on his back. I patted the old man lightly. He was slightly startled, and looked back at me inexplicably.

"Hello, sir, we are getting married, can you be our witness?"

The uncle turned his head and glanced at Lin Zhi, and readily agreed. This straightforward reaction surprised me too.

"Is Western style okay?" I suggested to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi nodded in agreement, and the ceremony began.

I held Lin Zhi's hands, looked into each other's eyes, and said solemnly and affectionately: "I, Liu Mo Nian, would like to be your lifelong partner with you, Lin Zhi, in this life and in this life, never leaving, forever."

Lin Zhi was a little embarrassed and gave me the same smile. I saw myself in his eyes looking at me.

"I, Lin Zhi, would like to be a lifelong partner with you, Liu Moinian. In this life, I will always love you until the next life."

I was pleasantly surprised by Lin Zhi's impromptu vow, and I couldn't help but love overflowed from my eyes, and I couldn't take my eyes off for a moment.

"Then you are officially married." The uncle finished his words indifferently, and then diverted my attention from Lin Zhi a little.

I gave half of the steamed bun to the uncle: "Master, this is your wedding candy."

The uncle who was inexplicably involved in a rough "wedding" was exhausted and a little unhappy, but after receiving my "wedding candy", a faint smile appeared on his face.

I broke off the remaining half and fed it to Lin Zhi, and he did the same, feeding me the remaining bite.

Although this ceremony seems a bit strange, but forget it, as long as the oath is said is enough.

The most important thing is that we are already married couples, as long as we support each other in the days to come, no matter how busy he is, we will definitely be able to get through it.

The sun had been hanging in the sky for half the morning, and the train finally arrived in Xinzhou.We picked up our luggage and got out of the car. After sitting all night, our backs hurt, our legs were weak, and we couldn't walk steadily.

There are no devils in ambush on the Xinzhou station platform, which is really a blessing!

We walked out of the platform slowly, and the uncle bid farewell to us at the entrance of the station lobby. He was only carrying an old backpack, and his face was full of traces of time: "You guys, you have to cherish it when you get married. From now on, you Only the other party is left, I hope you are all safe."

The uncle waved his hand: "There will be a period later!"

The two of us looked at each other and smiled, and a thought flashed through our minds, maybe we can settle down here during these days.
