An Shi

Bad news came one after another.

On the second day of New Year's Day, Jinzhou fell, and all important places outside the pass were lost.

At this time, people inside and outside the city of Harbin were in panic, rich and poor were trying to escape.

On January 27, the Wang family finally put all their businesses and real estate in order.So several large and small carriages set off on the road together, preparing to leave this small town, head south all the way, and then head to Shandong by waterway.

But it was too late.

On January 28, the Third Brigade of the Kwantung Army invaded Harbin from Changchun.

It was minus thirty degrees that day.The severe cold blocked the land, and the cold wind howled and rolled up patches of flying snow, which hurt people's faces.

The Japanese armored vehicles and artillery shells roared, startling the horses and overturning the vehicles, and the belongings of the Wang family and Sima's family were scattered all over the place.

In the confusion, Sima Zhao gritted his teeth, picked up Sima You, and walked towards the direction he came from.

"An Shi!" Sima Zhao's voice passed through the cold wind, "Take Ji Yan and escape! Flee to the south!"

"Father! Then what are you going to do!" Sima Yan yelled in panic.

Sima Zhao's voice sounded a little ethereal and distant: "Let's go separately, don't worry about Dad. We'll meet again when we get to Shandong..."

Then came Sima You's voice. "Brother, don't worry, I'll be with our father, it's fine."

The wind and snow suddenly became bigger, and it clouded Sima Yan's eyes.When he calmed down, he found that his cheeks had been covered with tears, and when he was blown by the wind, he would turn into an icicle, and it would be excruciating pain whether he could pull it off or not.

The Japanese armored vehicles seemed to be far away, but from time to time fragments of shells would fall from the sky, causing a snow dance.

The horse ran away, the car overturned, and he had to move forward on his feet.Sima Yan held Pei Xiu's hand tightly and ran non-stop in the snowstorm and war.

This was the closest contact between the two other than that "accident".However, Sima Yan didn't have much joy, because he only thought about escaping from this vast snow field as soon as possible, and going to that warm and safe place.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Pei Xiu suddenly staggered and fell into the snow, coughing even more violently.

Sima Yan hurriedly stopped to check his condition, but accidentally touched blood on his hand.

"Master." Pei Xiu's voice was calm and weak, "Sorry, I may not be able to go to Shandong with you."

"Sir, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Sima Yan hurriedly wiped the blood on Pei Xiu's chest with his sleeve, but the bright red area became bigger and bigger, the blood soaked Pei Xiu's skirt and his sleeves, and a few drops of blood fell on the white On the snowy ground, like blossoming poppies.

"Sir, let's go to the leeward place. I'll light a fire and it will be warmer." Impatiently, Sima Yan began to rave nonsense: "You are sick, but did you bring medicine with you?... Once the fire rises, I will melt away." I bought snow water, and I will give you medicine..."

"Master." Pei Xiu raised a hand feebly and interrupted him. "Don't worry about me."

He struggled to get up, but he was unable to support himself, and Sima Yan hurriedly hugged him in his arms in a panic.

Now I don't care if I crossed the line or not.Sima Yan thought.

"Heh." Pei Xiu suddenly smiled softly.His complexion was pale due to the vomiting of blood just now, but his smile was as gentle and warm as the ice and snow melted in spring.

Sima Yan's arm could not help but tighten again.He only knew that Pei Xiu's body was thin, but he didn't know that she was already so thin.Although Pei Xiu was thin in the past, her figure was as tall and straight as a beautiful Liuyun tree; now, this beautiful Liuyun tree has become a dead tree, as if a little force can break that fragile spine.

He stood up involuntarily, and walked towards the leeward side with Pei Xiu in his arms, his movements were gentle and careful.

Pei Xiu suddenly asked leisurely from his arms: "Master, do you still remember the blue brocade bag from that year?"

Sima Yan was taken aback. "of course I remember."

"The drug bag contains drugs." Pei Xiu's voice became weaker and weaker, "I was deceived by others when I was young and frivolous. I became addicted to smoking and never felt better. It is my destiny to end up like this now. Can't blame others."

Every time he said a word, there would be a trace of blood on his lips, which made Sima Yan's heart ache.

"Sir, stop talking! Stop talking!"

Pei Xiu seemed tired of talking too.He took out a tightly wrapped cloth bag from his arms near his heart, and put it in Sima Yan's hand tremblingly.

His voice gradually weakened.

"The luckiest thing in my life was to enter the Sima Mansion and be a teacher for the young master."

"It suddenly occurred to me that I helped the young master take the name of the watch, but I never seemed to call those two words."

"Let me presume one last time."

He raised his hand, signaling Sima Yan to come over.Sima Yan obeyed obediently.

"An Shi, live well."

He looked at Sima Yan without blinking, his eyes were gentle and clear, but the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.In the end, he closed his eyes, and the hand held by Sima Yan suddenly slipped down.

Sima Yan opened his eyes wide in panic.With trembling hands, he grabbed Pei Xiu's thin shoulders and shook them, crying silently.He suddenly remembered the first aid method taught in school, so he imprinted his lips on the other's lips without hesitation.

He tried his best to breathe into Pei Xiu's mouth, all he wanted was to wake up the person in his arms, look at him again, and smile at him—of course, even if he simply woke up, even if he didn't remember anything , it doesn't matter.

This kiss, which was not considered a kiss, made Sima Yan's lips stained with blood, and his mouth was filled with the taste of rust.Pei Xiu's lips were still soft and still warm, but the temperature gradually became cold and stiff in the cold winter wind, and would never warm up again.

"Sir, wake up, wake up..."

"I still have a lot to say, and I haven't had time to tell you."

"If I could have discovered your intentions sooner..."

"Mr. Pei, I see that the front seems to be the garrison of the national army."

"I can't walk anymore..."

On the New Year's Eve of the 21st year of the Republic of China, a patrol of a certain unit of the Northeast Army stationed in Rehe Province picked up a young man who was unconscious on the ground.

The man carried a corpse that had been stiff for a long time on his back, and hid a tightly packed cloth bag in his arms, which contained a slightly worn-out regular script, a silver-white Parker pen, and a very detailed copybook. , Hand-painted version of the territory map of the Republic of China.

After the young man woke up, he frantically searched for the cloth bag, and frantically grabbed someone to ask how his husband was doing.

"Are you talking about the corpse that you carried all the way? Don't worry, we have already buried him alive."

Hearing this, the young man remained silent for three days, neither eating nor drinking.

All the people in the army only thought that he was stimulated, and spread gossip with pity: "How can a person who looks good be so stupid?"

Three days later, he applied to the chief to join the army and was approved.

Let's say that this army later traveled to various battlefields, going south and east all the way, beating off the Japanese, but losing to the red army.

However, no matter which battlefield it is on, a certain name called "Sima Anshi" is frightening to hear.

☆, end

Sima Yan, 55, opened his eyes again.

The young nurse trotted over to him and asked, "General, how are you feeling?"

He raised a bony hand and shook it gently. "I'm fine," he said hoarsely, "Xiao Yang, go down first, I'll just stay by myself."

"Then, shall I turn on the TV for you?"

"Well, it's work."

Xiao Yang quickly turned on the TV, and thoughtfully covered him with a checked wool blanket.

On the TV, commentators who speak Hokkien are talking about "the national army's F-104 fighter jets shot down two communist MiG-2 fighter jets, so it is 19:2, and the national army wins."

Sima Yan absently listened to the commentator's nonsense, his eyelids involuntarily drooped again, and he dozed off in the wheelchair.

He hadn't seen snow in many, many years.But this time in his dream, he saw the snow flying in the Northeast of that year again, and dreamed of the scene where he was pulling Pei Xiu and running all the way.

In his dream, he was holding Pei Xiu's hand tightly and never let go.Pei Xiu in the dream didn't vomit blood and fell down, but went to Shandong safely with him.

He dreamed that he still joined the army, but with Pei Xiu all the time.He led the soldiers, and Pei Xiu served as a staff officer; although the national army still retreated to this isolated island, he was not alone like he is now and survived.

He suddenly dreamed that he had returned to his youthful appearance.

The thin figure watering the flowers with his back turned to him appeared in front of him again.The difference is that this time an elderberry was planted in the pot.

He softly called "Mr. Pei", and the man turned around, with sparkles in his eyes.

He quietly looked at Pei Xiu, who was as young and handsome as when he first met him, and murmured:

"Mr. Pei, I dreamed that I was getting old."

Pei Xiu in the dream smiled at him and held out her hand to him.

Sima Yan took a step forward and held that hand.

This time, I won't let you go.

***

When Xiao Yang turned around again, she found that Sima Yan, who was dozing on the wheelchair, was already out of breath.

The weather in Taiwan is warm and there is no snow in January.

This is the 56th year of the Republic of China.
