What a beautiful white lotus

The assailant grabbed Ye Rongqiu into the building, kicked on the gate, tightly clamped Ye Rongqiu from behind, and covered his mouth.

Ye Rongqiu struggled hard, clutching the pistol tightly in his hand, but it was a pity that there was someone behind him, so he couldn't aim at the target and shoot.

"Turtle son, don't move! Don't shout!" The person behind him said.

Ye Rongqiu was startled, and immediately stopped struggling.

The person who caught him in spoke with a familiar Chongqing accent, and more importantly, he would never forget that person's voice in ten years!

The man covered his mouth with one hand, and grabbed one of his wrists with the other hand. The cold touch on the wrist reminded him that there was a foreign object there.

—It was a mechanical watch made in Germany.

This watch was Ye Xiangmin's birthday gift to Ye Rongqiu when he was 20 years old. He has been wearing it for two full years and never took it off even when he was sleeping.But five years ago, when Heigou took him from Chongqing to Wuhan, because he lost all his money and he was sick and needed money to buy medicine, so Heigou took off his watch and went to a pawn shop to change it. money.

He once thought about redeeming the watch in the past. After all, he was floating outside alone, and he didn't even have a single thing from home. If he could get the watch back, at least he still had something to think about.It's a pity that in the past few years, he has neither the money to redeem the watch nor the time.

But now, the watch that has been away for several years has returned to his hands.

Ye Rongqiu relaxed quietly.He couldn't see the watch clearly because his eyes were blurred by tears.

The gunfire outside kept going, and the people behind him never let go of Ye Rongqiu, preventing Ye Rongqiu from seeing his face.

boom!

There was a violent explosion, the sound of a grenade exploding.

Ye Rongqiu tried to break away from the man's hand, but the man still held him and prevented him from moving.

So Ye Rongqiu pouted his mouth and signaled the man to let him speak.The man hesitated for a moment, then let go of Ye Rongqiu's mouth.

"Ahei?" Ye Rongqiu called softly.

The person behind him didn't speak for a while, and after a while he chuckled, and finally let go of Ye Rongqiu completely.

"If I say that you have identified the wrong person, will you kill me in a fit of anger?" Ye Rongqiu heard him tease with a smile.

The sound of gunfire was loud outside, but the house was eerily quiet.When the black dog grabbed Ye Rongqiu, Ye Rongqiu's heart beat fast, and he couldn't wait to look back, but when the black dog let go of him, he didn't dare to look back.The person who has been looking for four or five years is now by my side, and the heat from his breath even enters my ears, but what if I look back... just in case...

The black dog didn't seem to be as nervous as he was, and he didn't greet him too much after reuniting after a long absence. He just asked softly in his ear, "How many companions do you have?"

Ye Rongqiu's mind was immediately pulled back.

"Eight." Ye Rongqiu said, "Eight counting me. Seven counting me."

The black dog said: "Eight people make Wuchang so lively, it seems that you have been doing well these years."

Perhaps it was the black dog's teasing words that relieved Ye Rongqiu's entanglement, and he slowly turned around to face the black dog.From the eyebrows to the lips, the black dog has hardly changed in the past five years, except that the hair has been cut short, and it completely overlaps with the person in his memory.

Ye Rongqiu had fantasized about the scene of reuniting with the black dog many times. It might be unexpected, but it must be touching.It's just that I didn't expect that it would be in such a situation. The sudden surprise was enough, but it's a pity that the continuous gunfire outside made this scene completely devoid of warmth.

The sounds outside were getting closer and closer. Ye Rongqiu heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, and a team was running towards here.

The black dog looked around. This is a dilapidated private house, and there are still a few broken pieces of furniture in the room that have not been taken away.He pushed Ye Rongqiu to hide behind the furniture, and said, "You hide here, I'll go out and have a look."

Ye Rongqiu was a little surprised.There are Japanese soldiers chasing them outside. Isn't it dangerous for the black dog to go out to watch?But he quickly remembered that the black dog now has an identity as the Japanese puppet member Yamadera Yuki, and the Japanese army may not do anything to him.

So Ye Rongqiu responded, and obediently hid in the cabinet.

The black dog walked to the door and opened it.

The Japanese soldiers outside were searching from house to house. If the black dog hadn't opened the door at this time, I'm afraid they would break in and rush in soon.

Ye Rongqiu hid in the cabinet and did not dare to make a sound, watching what happened outside through the gap in the cabinet.

A devil in Japanese military uniform walked in and looked into the room.The black dog talked to him a few words, he nodded, replied a few words, turned around, waved to the soldiers outside, and then retreated, the black dog closed the door.Ye Rongqiu heard a mess of footsteps outside, it was the group of Japanese soldiers who had withdrawn.

This scene was somewhat beyond Ye Rongqiu's expectation, but it felt reasonable.Ye Rongqiu had seen the battles of the Japanese army searching the city. They once turned the whole city upside down in order to catch a few communists. They upheld the attitude that they would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let them go, causing countless innocent people to die because of this. killed.But those Japanese seemed to trust the black dog very much, and they gave up the search after just a few conversations. ——Others may not be able to do it, but there is nothing that the black dog can't do. To fool the Japanese devils around, with the ability of the black dog, there must be no problem!

The black dog walked to the cabinet: "Come out, the devil has already left."

Ye Rongqiu was a little worried.The devil is very cunning, it is not once or twice to kill the carbine after withdrawing troops, in case the devil comes back later...

The black dog said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

The black dog told Ye Rongqiu to rest assured, and Ye Rongqiu really felt at ease.He trusted Black Dog, and even after five years, that trust was ingrained in his blood.

Ye Rongqiu crawled out of the cabinet and asked the black dog, "What did you tell them just now?"

The black dog said: "I told them that I heard gunshots outside, so I found a place to hide temporarily. The devil asked me to wait until the search was over before going out, so as not to accidentally injure me."

Ye Rongqiu was silent for a while, and asked, "Are you Shansi Xing?"

The black dog was noncommittal, and squinted at him: "When did you enter Wuchang?"

Ye Rongqiu said, "Two days ago."

The black dog raised his eyebrows: "The day before yesterday in the south of the city, were you the one hiding in the dilapidated house?"

Ye Rongqiu nodded: "I'm there."

The black dog smiled and said nothing.He acquiesced in his identity.

Ye Rongqiu felt itchy in his heart, and there were many things he wanted to ask Heigou.Since you are Yamadera Xing, what about Nianbai?How did you escape from the devil?how is it going?

It's a pity that now is not the time for questioning, the battle outside is not over yet, and his heart is hanging on those comrades who escaped for their lives.

The black dog asked suddenly: "You joined the Red Bandit? When did it happen?"

Ye Rongqiu was taken aback.He was a little surprised by what Black Dog called the Communist Party.Red bandits?Even when he was in the National Army, Black Dog never called the Communists that way.According to Ye Rongqiu's deduction, the black dog should also be an underground party.Although he already knew that Heigou was a notorious traitor, Ye Rongqiu did not believe that this was all about Heigou.That is a black dog. A black dog is never afraid of death. Although he looks foolish, his heart is kinder than anyone else.At the beginning, the black dog could fight several national troops alone to save E Niang, or he could turn against Mr. Huang to save himself who was not familiar with him at all. He is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. The cats and dogs who don't know each other don't care about their own safety, but they don't worry that he will hurt the Chinese in order to survive.

But if the black dog is not an underground party, then he is still the national army?He is secretly serving the national army?If this is the case, why did he point the gun at Lao Guo that day?

Ye Rongqiu had many questions in his heart. At this time, he hated the constant gunshots and explosions outside. He wanted to find a quiet place to sit down and have a good talk with Heigou. He felt anxious because of his ignorance of Heigou. He wanted to Hurry up and make up for their five-year gap.

The black dog asked: "Why don't you talk? Those people with you are red bandits?"

Ye Rongqiu nodded in acquiescence, and asked again: "How did you escape at that time?"

The black dog pouted: "After pushing you down, I also jumped into the river. I wanted to be a hero, but when it came to the end, I found that I was still afraid of death."

fear death.When these two words came out of Heigou's mouth, Ye Rongqiu felt that it was a bit inconsistent, but he was not disappointed, on the contrary, he was glad.Who wants the person he loves to be a blood-licking person, to be a hero has to pay a huge price, what Ye Rongqiu has prayed day and night for these years is that the black dog can be more ordinary.Even a sacrifice should be a meaningful sacrifice. An unexplained death is just a matter of relatives hurting enemies.

"Have you been in Wuchang all these years?" Ye Rongqiu asked again.

The black dog answered concisely: "Three years."

Ye Rongqiu was actually very relieved.He has stayed in Hubei all these years and has not left, because he and the black dog were separated in southern Hubei.The black dog had told him before that if they got separated, he would stay where he was and wait, and the black dog would come back to him.Before pushing him down the long river, the black dog told him not to wait.But he knew that the black dog told him not to wait because the black dog didn't want him anymore, but because the black dog at that time had already made up his mind to sacrifice, fearing that he would never be able to wait.If the black dog is not dead, he will definitely come back to find himself.He made the right bet. Although the bet was huge and he waited for five years, he still won the bet!

After a while, the gunfire outside became less intense, but Ye Rongqiu didn't feel relaxed.The intensity of the search is small. There are two possibilities. One is that the Japanese devils have been unable to find anyone and can only withdraw their troops;

The black dog leaned against the wall, not knowing what was going on in his mind.Although he didn't look at Ye Rongqiu, he seemed to feel Ye Rongqiu's uneasiness, and said, "Don't worry, the red bandits are very cunning. I heard that they dug a lot of tunnels in the city. It hasn't been a day or two since the devils caught them. These slippery guys can't help it. They can dodge the big raids that birds can't fly over."

Ye Rongqiu walked to Heigou and sat down.Feeling the temperature of the black dog can make him feel better.

After a while, the gunfire outside completely stopped.

Ye Rongqiu sometimes grabbed the gun, and sometimes put it down.After waiting for 5 minutes to stop firing the gun, Ye Rongqiu finally couldn't help standing up: "I...I want to go out and have a look."

He wanted to hurry to the appointed place. He didn't know if his comrades had escaped the hunt. Since he never showed up, his comrades must be worried whether he had been killed by devils.

The black dog sighed: "It's not good to meet you, and it caused a lot of trouble. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll take you out."

Ye Rongqiu's original intention was to ask the black dog to take him out. After finally finding the black dog, he had no intention of separating from the black dog so soon.But what the black dog said made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Isn't this guy really an underground party?

The black dog got up and was about to open the door. Ye Rongqiu quickly put on his hat and lowered it down so that his face would not be seen when he went out.

The black dog asked: "The devil knows you?"

Ye Rongqiu was startled and shook his head.Although he has always been the main target of the devils, Huang Mu protected him very well, few devils have seen him.

The black dog took off his hat: "Then you are afraid that the devils will not recognize you? Wearing a hat in broad daylight, do you think you are still so much the second young master?"

Ye Rongqiu was startled again.

The black dog folded Ye Rongqiu's cloth hat and put it in his arms: "Hide the gun, follow me, and I will take you to a safe place."
