What a beautiful white lotus

A few days later, they successfully escaped the raids of the Japanese army and returned to the vicinity of Wuchang.

Ye Rongqiu, Xiao Zhao and the others did not enter Wuchang again, their mission this time had been completed, so they were about to bid farewell to Zhou Shujuan just outside Wuchang city.

Ye Rongqiu and Zhou Shujuan walked aside, Ye Rongqiu hugged Zhou Shujuan: "When you go back, be careful yourself."

Zhou Shujuan nodded.

The two said a few words of mutual concern, stood silently for a while, and were about to part.

Ye Rongqiu said: "Then I'm leaving."

He turned around, Zhou Shujuan suddenly stopped him from behind: "Brother Maoshi."

Ye Rongqiu looked back at her.

Zhou Shujuan said, "Have you thought about going back to Chongqing?"

Ye Rongqiu was taken aback.He didn't expect Zhou Shujuan to tell him this.In the past few years, he almost went back to Chongqing several times, but there were always other things that prevented him from going smoothly, and he never knew the safety of his family.But Zhou Shujuan told him that his brother was still alive and was still waiting for him to go back in Chongqing.

Ye Rongqiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go back when I'm free."

Zhou Shujuan nodded: "Go back and have a look as soon as possible. It's been three years since I went last time. Your brother said that if you don't go back, he won't dare to leave Chongqing. The situation in Chongqing has always been bad. If you see you Brother, advise him to go south and hide in a safer place. Say hello for me. I too... only you relatives."

Ye Rongqiu felt extremely sad, and nodded heavily: "I remember."

Zhou Shujuan smiled desolately: "Let's go, go back quickly."

Ye Rongqiu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to hug her gently, stroked her hair, and whispered in her ear, "Take care, sister." Then he walked towards Xiao Zhao and the others who were waiting by the side without looking back.Sometimes, he also has the urge to take Zhou Shujuan away from right and wrong. Zhou Shujuan is just a young girl, and the burden on her is too heavy.But the war is not over yet, and the burdens on everyone are very heavy. Relatives will be separated again after reunion. Only when the motherland is at peace can they truly reunite.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Shujuan, Ye Rongqiu and the others returned to their camp.

It took nearly a month for Ye Rongqiu to leave this time. During this month, due to the blockade of the Japanese army, it was difficult to send news to the outside of Wuchang City. For Huang Mu and others, Ye Rongqiu was in a state of uncertainty.Now seeing that Ye Rongqiu came back safely, with no missing arms or legs, the whole group was overjoyed, Huang Mu specially prepared a large table of delicious food to reward the few people who went on this mission.

Ye Rongqiu said with a smile: "Leader, why bother to mobilize people so much, just go out for a few days."

Huang Mu said happily, "Hey, just taking advantage of this opportunity, I will also take advantage of it and have a good meal."

Ye Rongqiu smiled and shook his head, then asked Huang Mu: "Is there any news about Squad Leader Qiu and Qiba?"

Huang Mu nodded: "It's just the news that came the day before you came back, and someone has been sent to pick it up, but those two are wounded, I'm afraid the action should be slower."

Ye Rongqiu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that people are fine."

Huang Mu lit a cigarette and smoked it, handed the cigarette case to Ye Rongqiu, and looked at him inquiringly.Ye Rongqiu twisted a cigarette with his index finger and thumb: "Thank you."

Although Ye Rongqiu is not as addicted to cigarettes as Heigou is, but these years of pressure, he has been addicted to it, and occasionally smokes one to relax.

Huang Mu took a long puff of smoke and asked, "Xiaoye, did you gain anything from entering Wuchang this time?"

Ye Rongqiu knew it well, but pretended to be stupid and said: "The task was completed smoothly."

Huang Mu had no choice but to sit upright, and asked bluntly: "Didn't you still want to find the person you were looking for when you entered Wuchang? How about it, do you have any clues?"

Ye Rongqiu shook his head: "I didn't find it." He felt a little guilty in his heart, and he didn't want to lie to Huang Mu, but the current identity of the black dog.If you tell the truth, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble.

Huang Mu asked him: "What are your plans for the future? Are you still planning to look for it?"

Ye Rongqiu was silent, and said: "Let's talk about it later, I will do the arsenal first."

Hearing what he said, Huang Mu immediately burst into a smile.In fact, when Ye Rongqiu wanted to find someone, he had never been very supportive. If he was easy to find, it was fine, but it happened to be a person who had been separated for five years and his life and death were unknown. .Now that he has figured it out, it is of course best to be willing to put it aside for a while. Hurry up and make the arsenal bigger, and it is serious to beat the little devil out early!

Huang Mu stubbed out the cigarette butt, crossed his legs and said comfortably: "You have worked hard these few days and slept in the open air, go back and rest first, I have already asked someone to boil water for you, take a hot bath and sleep, wake up at night Have a big meal and offer sacrifices to the temple of the five viscera."

Ye Rongqiu thanked him, Huang Mu got up and took Ye Rongqiu back to his residence in person.

The two of them had just left the house, and within a few steps, the secretary of the regiment came over in a hurry: "Leader, leader, something happened!"

Huang Mu was startled, and immediately became nervous: "What's the matter, what happened, please speak slowly."

The expression on the face of the Youth League branch secretary was not anxious, but excited: "A great event, a great event has happened!"

Ye Rongqiu also leaned over curiously to hear the good news.This is rare, and something good happened. Could it be that the Japanese devils suffered something in the Pacific battlefield?

The regiment secretary rubbed his hands and laughed: "The fight is on, the national army and the devils are on the fight!"

Ye Rongqiu and Huang Mu were taken aback when the group secretary said this. The No.30 Army has been in southern Hubei for several years. Although there have been continuous small frictions with the devils, there have been no major conflicts. It can be said that they are mutually preserving strength.The secretary of the regiment came over so excitedly to talk to Huang Mu about this matter, it seems that the scale of this time is not the same as the previous small fights that were not worth mentioning at all.

Ye Rongqiu blurted out: "So, the Sichuan army is really here to fight devils?" This news made Ye Rongqiu feel very relieved. He always hoped that the Sichuan army would spend more time in fighting the Japanese invaders, but not be so active in "suppressing bandits".

The regiment secretary was stunned for a moment, and said, "It was the devils who took the initiative to open fire on the Sichuan army."

This time it was Ye Rongqiu's turn to be startled: "The devil opened fire on his own initiative?"

The Sichuan army didn't want to fight, and the devils didn't want to fight even more.Japan has long been different from what it was in [-]s. After so many years of fighting, that small area has long been hollowed out, not to mention they suffered heavy losses on the Pacific battlefield.It's even worse.Japan is now at the end of its strength, and they can only adopt the means of "using China to control China".Under such circumstances, did Japan take the initiative to open fire on the Sichuan Army?

The regiment secretary nodded again and again: "Really, the devil set up a cannon and fired several shots at the Sichuan army's position! The Sichuan army was not prepared at all, and they beat the shit out of them, and they are still cleaning up."

Huang Mu was also confused: "What's going on?"

The Communist Youth League secretary spread his hands: "I don't know, I have already sent someone to investigate!"

Huang Mu was confused, so he could only wave to Ye Rongqiu: "Go and rest first."

Ye Rongqiu returned to the room with confusion, still thinking about what happened just now.He knew a little more than Huang Mu and the others, and he could guess some of the reasons why the devils opened fire on their own initiative.It should be that the devils found out that the Sichuan army was secretly transporting gunpowder, thinking that the Sichuan army was going to fight them, so they simply acted first and took the initiative to catch the Sichuan army by surprise.If so, it would be a blessing in disguise.The Japanese army has already attacked the Sichuan army, so it is impossible to stop easily.In this way, the Sichuan army has only two options, one is to fight the devils with all its strength, or it can only admit its counsel and withdraw from southern Hubei.No matter which option is chosen, it is beneficial to the Communist Party.The strength and firepower of the Sichuan army are much stronger than that of the communist army. It is natural that they are willing to stop the civil war and cooperate to fight devils. Even if they choose to withdraw, without the hindrance of the national army, the development of the Communist Party in southern Hubei will be smoother.

Ye Rongqiu lay on the bed, still thinking about these things, feeling a little happy and a little sad.He told himself not to think about it. After a while, he finally couldn't bear the exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
