Looking up at the stars in 1946

The trip to Peiping was more difficult than Qi Yishan imagined.Qi Yishan accidentally offended a high-ranking person, and his superiors criticized him quite a bit, and were about to demote him.Qi Yishan has nothing to blame for this. He has seen clearly the corruption of the government and the darkness of the warlords, and he is already tired of it.It doesn't matter if he has been demoted now, and if he finds a reason to station in Haizhu County, he can also take over Qi Yishui.

Although Qi Yishan is more fond of Harbin, but considering his relationship with Qi Yishui, it is better to find a remote place.What's more, Qi Yishui has always been filial, and Li Xiaohua is still alive, and will always be missed.

Qi Yishan was preoccupied with thinking about the future of Qi Yishui and the two of them, and he didn't realize that the days passed by, and the New Year passed in a blink of an eye.As the foot of the emperor, Beiping has a strong taste of the new year.The sound of firecrackers has not stopped since New Year's Eve, crackling throughout the entire New Year's Eve.

Qi Yishan lives in a high-end hotel, facing a commercial street.The bustling and brightly lit streets in the past were exceptionally deserted on this night of New Year's Eve. It took a long time before a pedestrian or a rickshaw hurried past.

There was a fire in the house, and it didn't feel cold.Qi Yishan was wearing a shirt, leaning back on the sofa, drinking a bottle of soju one after another.There were several dishes of appetizers placed on the table in twos and threes, some of them moved a few chopsticks, and some remained intact.

Qi Yishan is strict with self-discipline, and doesn't drink often, but only occasionally takes a few sips when socializing, so he doesn't drink too much.Erguotou had great stamina, and his head became dizzy after a while.In the haze, the person he was thinking about suddenly sat in front of him.

"Yishui..." Qi Yishan yelled, got up and rushed over, instinctively wanted to hug her into his arms, but was impatient, staggered, and fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop".

Qi Yishan looked around, how could there be any sign of Qi Yishui?Qi Yishan lay down on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"When will you be back?"

"do not know."

"Can I come back for Chinese New Year?"

"……can"

Qi Yishan raised his hand to cover his eyes, the red string on his wrist glowed dimly.

Qiyishan handed over all matters, and when he went north to Rehe, it was already the autumn of the 20th year of the Republic of China.This year can be said to be an eventful year. At the beginning of the year, the forces in Guangzhou united against Chiang. When Chiang Kai-shek encircled and suppressed the CCP, the eight southern provinces experienced floods that occurred once in a century. Due to the mishandling of the incident, Japan once again pointed the finger of public opinion at China, accusing China of "damaging Japanese and Korean immigrants."

Internal and external troubles, natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is not an exaggeration for the whole country to say that it is a mess.Qi Yishan took the train to Harbin at this time.

September NO.16, Qiyi Mountain passed through Shenyang.

September NO.17, Qiyi Mountain passed through Changchun.

September NO.18, Qiyi Mountain arrived in Harbin.After getting off the train, Qi Yishan called a rickshaw and took him to the Qi mansion.Qi Yishan didn't plan to live in Harbin for a long time from the beginning, so he dismissed many of the servants in the mansion, and now only the old housekeeper, a gardener and an old maid who stayed in the mansion were left .

Qi Yishan sat on the train for a long time, and his muscles ached all over. He just wanted to find a place to sleep first, and didn't care about whether the sheets were wet or not, so he took off his military uniform and lay down on it.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Master! Master!"

Qi Yishan was woken up, he opened his eyes, his limbs were still a little sore but it didn't affect his movements.He tapped his temple and recognized the butler's voice.

Qi Yishan got out of bed slowly, and as soon as he opened the door, the old housekeeper told him in a panic:

"Japan bombarded Shenyang yesterday!"

On the eleventh day of the eighth month of the third year after Qi Yishan left, Qi Yishui had a dream.I dreamed of myself and Qi Yishan when I was young.

Qi Yishan held his hand, and the two walked in tandem.Both sides of the road are covered with white snow, the sky is blue, and the bare branches are twisted and covered with a layer of soft snowflakes.

Qi Yishui walked behind Qi Yishan.He walked barefoot, deep and shallow, leaving a string of footprints on the snow.

Qi Yishui was wearing a summer jacket, while Qi Yishan was wearing a neat military uniform, with a ragged cotton jacket on the outside and cotton boots on his feet.

Qi Yishui was in poor health, and he had to catch a breath after walking for a short time, but now he followed Qi Yishan from the dawn to the sun, and he didn't feel tired at all.

"Yi Shan, where are we going?"

After walking for a long time, Qi Yishui finally asked such a question.

"Go to Harbin."

"Oh."

Qi Yishui responded, and continued to follow Qi Yishan obediently.Qi Yishan squatted down suddenly, and said to Qi Yishui: "Come up." Qi Yishui was a little shy but climbed onto Qi Yishan's back.

Qi Yishui hugged Qi Yishan's neck and rubbed the back of his head.Qi Yishan's short hair is a bit prickly, but it's very comfortable to rub against.

The two continued to walk forward, and the scenery on both sides of the road changed little by little.It was fields at first, then woods, and then grasslands, and finally they entered the gate of Harbin City.

The streets that were bustling in my memory are now silently deserted.

Qi Yishan walked down an unfamiliar alley.The walls on both sides of the alley were mottled with dark red marks.

At a corner, Qi Yishan put Qi Yishui down.

Qi Yishan said, "Do you remember?"

"What?" Qi Yishui looked at him, puzzled.

"I'm right here." Qi Yishan said.

When Qi Yishui woke up, his mind was blank for a moment, as if something was lost along with this broken dream.He tried hard to recall every detail of this dream, but his mind seemed to be muddled, and everything was blurry.The roads I have traveled and the scenery I have seen are like the calm water surface being broken, causing ripples in circles, and I can’t remember everything clearly.The harder Qi Yishui thought about it, the faster he forgot it. In the end, there was only a little vague feeling left, just a little bit lost.

Because of this dream, Qi Yishui was depressed for a long time.Han Yan asked him what was wrong, but he couldn't explain why, he just said that he had a strange dream.Han Yan comforted him by saying that dreams are the opposite, don't think too much, maybe something good will happen.Qi Yishui sighed quietly and said, I don't expect anything good to happen, as long as he can bring me some news.

Han Yan felt a little uncomfortable hearing this. At this time, he had already learned about the relationship between Qi Yishui and Qi Yishan from Qi Si. Although he could accept it, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Qi Yishui say this with his own ears.

When Han Yan went back to the house, he saw the butler Lao Li hurried out of the house, feeling a little strange in his heart.Before he could ask why, there was a sound of crackling and throwing things in the room.Han Yan quickly stopped Lao Li and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lao Li's face was pale, and he rubbed his big gloved hands together. His words were steaming, and his voice was fast and urgent. He said, "The factory in the county was blown up by the Japanese last night, and several people died. All the guys, the county government and the army have run away, there is no one in charge, the county is in chaos...everything has been robbed!" Hulala said a lot, and then ordered Han Yandao, " I'm going to prepare the carriage, the fourth master will go to the county later. When you go in, be careful, fourth master... For so many years, this is the first time I saw him lose his temper. "

Han Yan's heart sank when he heard this, and he hesitated whether to leave first or go in to block the gun.Finally, he entered cautiously.Sure enough, the room was in a mess.White porcelain pieces were broken all over the ground, tea was spilled, the Kangqin was overturned, and Qi Si sat on the Kang with a gloomy expression.

Han Yan didn't dare to take a breath, and silently took a broom and dustpan to clean up the debris on the ground.

"Harbin has fallen." Qi Si said suddenly.

Han Yan was taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "What?"

As early as September last year, news of Japan's step-by-step advances continued to come.First Shenyang, then Xuzhou, and then Changchun.If even Harbin falls, then the three northeastern provinces will really be over.Therefore, Qi Si concluded that the Kwantung Army would definitely defend Harbin to the death.As long as Harbin is defended, Japan will not be able to attack them.Who knew that there was a policy of non-resistance in Nanjing!The main force either rebelled or retreated, and the remaining troops could not withstand the artillery fire of the Japanese army at all, and sooner or later they would fall.It's just a thousand calculations, Qi Shi never expected that after the Japanese captured Harbin, they would actually bomb the surrounding areas indiscriminately!

Qi Si was gnashing his teeth angrily, and his fingers made a "clack" sound.Compared with the madness of the Japanese, the retreat of the Kwantung Army undoubtedly made him even more furious.

Han Yan murmured: "How could it be... so many people, how could they lose?"

"Fuck you! If you really lost, then I will admit it! The Kwantung Army didn't even fight and returned to the pass!" Qi Sihen said.

"Ah!?" Han Yan called out.

Qi Si cursed again: "You son of a bitch whose brain was trapped by the door! Who knows what he's pretending to be!" At the end, he added another sentence: "That trash of Qi Yishan!" He decided that Qi Yishan had also returned to the pass. .

Speaking of Qi Yishan, Han Yan immediately thought of Qi Yishui. He knew that Qi Yishan served in the Kwantung Army.Now that Qiyi Mountain has returned to the pass, what about Qiyishui?Thinking of this, Han Yan asked without paying attention.

Qi Si was choked, and it took him a long time to say bitterly: "Is this kind of trash still thinking about him? It's better to forget it sooner!"

Han Yan stopped talking.

The two of them were silent when Lao Li hurried in and said, "Fourth Master, the carriage is ready."

The flag got off the kang, put on a cotton coat, and went out with Lao Li.Looking at Qi Si's back, Han Yan opened his mouth, but he didn't say the phrase "be careful on the road" in the end.
