Republic of China

Facing brutal killings and death, he was not as calm and composed as Fulai. Maybe he really wasn't a soldier, and he should have stood on the stage and sang Peking Opera honestly, but now he still has a chance to regret it?

The courage to take responsibility is the man

At the end of April, the Shen family purchased another courtyard house in Daguaibang Hutong. The eldest brother and his wife, Mrs. Shen all moved to the courtyard on the west side. Yard.But everyone eats dinner in the west yard every day, and the whole family enjoys it happily, but it is rare to hear the voice of Yuezhi talking.

At the beginning of May, Shen Muhan came back from the northwest. Although the journey was tiring, he still took time to go to his second son. Hearing that Yuezhi was in a bad mood, he wanted to persuade his son from the father's point of view.

Major Shen could get out of bed and walk around. Seeing his father coming suddenly, he told his mother to make tea. Fulai wanted to take his son out and let the father and son talk alone, but old man Shen stopped him.

"Fulai, let the nanny take the baby, I have something to tell you."

Captain Tong led the toddler Tian Yi to the nanny, played with Tian Yu, and then returned to the east room in a hurry.

Shen Muhan held the teacup, drank two sips of tea, and announced to his slumped son sitting on the kang, "I've already left the field."

Major Shen was shocked when he heard the news. He thought that his father would persist for a few more years and return to the field at the age of 60.

Fulai couldn't help but interjected: "Uncle, has the young marshal agreed to your resignation?"

Old man Shen put down his teacup and smiled open-mindedly: "I finally agreed. Xueliang is hard to protect himself. Someone must be responsible for the result of the defeat. It is an indisputable fact that we lost the three eastern provinces. The deputy commander of the young commander must not be able to do it." If he goes down, he will stay in Beiping for detoxification.” Song Yuanzhe, Chiang Kai-shek, and Zhang Xueliang must be responsible, and in the end it was the young marshal who jumped down first and took the responsibility bravely.

When Shen Yuezhi heard his father's words, he knew there must be something hidden in it, so he quickly raised his head and asked, "Did you take the blame and resign? Our defeat has nothing to do with you, and you are not the commander."

"I'm an old senior, and I used to think that it's good to just hope for nothing, but the current situation can no longer allow anyone to live in peace. This time, our own team has lost more than half, and it's almost in vain. I can't absolve myself of the blame. In short, I understand your thoughts. It was my father’s selfishness to force you to join the army and leave Liyuan, but since you agreed to lead the army and formed an independent regiment, you must continue to carry this burden. How will your brothers make a living in the future, you have also seen the situation of the Northwest Army, are they willing to use big blades to chop devils?" Shen Muhan was a little excited when he said this, he couldn't commit any crimes against the young commander, sir Shuai didn't want to take care of the Northeast Army and they had nothing to do, but he couldn't let his son go his own way.

Shen Yuezhi kept his face sullen and kept silent. It's not that he didn't want to lead troops to fight, but that he couldn't fight this battle. He couldn't drag the hard-trained people to die on the battlefield. His crime would be even greater!How can there be such a cheap thing in the world if you want the horse to run without feeding the horse?

Seeing that he refused to speak, Fulai helped to explain: "Uncle, we don't want our soldiers to die in vain."

"Leave your hands alone, they will die faster!" Shen Muhan said categorically, he hoped to wake up his son, let Yuezhi regain his strength, and bravely face the cold reality.

This sentence shocked Major Shen a lot. What his father said was right. If he resigned from the army and returned home, the Independence Regiment would definitely be incorporated by other warlords. Can a child raised by a stepmother be treated the same as a child raised by his own mother?At that time, not to mention the supply of weapons, even the basic safety of life cannot be guaranteed.

After his father left, Shen Yuezhi sat in the room for a long time without moving. During this period, Fulai poured him tea and brought him boiled medicine, but they didn't disturb his thinking.

After a whole night of thinking and pondering, the next morning, Shen Yuezhi, who had hardly slept all night, pushed open the door, and said to Fulai who was playing with the children in the yard, "Come with me to Nanjing?"

Lieutenant Tong held Tianyi's little hand, nodded with a smile: "Well, I want to ask my father for help, right?" He could guess Yuezhi's mind, now is the time to negotiate terms, because the government needs more direct descendants Troops maintain security in the capital.

"Yes, I'm going to have the cheek to ask my uncle again...Tianyu, father and adoptive father are going to take you back to Nanjing." He said to his eldest son who was playing by the grapevine.

When Tianyu heard the good news, he clapped his hands quickly: "I can go back to Nanjing to see grandpa and grandma. Will my brother go with me?"

"My younger brother needs to stay in Beiping. He is too young to get sick easily." Fulai didn't plan to take his youngest son there, because Tianyi is just over one year old and his body is not that strong yet.

"Oh, when will we come back?" Tianyu has already regarded this small courtyard in Beiping as his home, and the mansion in Nanjing has become the home of "grandpa and grandma".

"Probably will stay for about a month." Shen Yuezhi slowly moved to the stone bench, sat down, and stroked Tian Yu's forehead. In addition to continuing to stick to the duties of soldiers, he and Fulai still need to make other contributions to the country , is to have as many children as possible, whether it is a son or a daughter, they are all part of the Chinese nation. As long as there is a new generation, this country will have hope.

At this time, someone knocked on the courtyard door, and the old lady trotted over to open the door, and Xiaohui suddenly came to visit.

"Brother Shen, Brother Tong, it's not good. Boss Wu is missing. None of us can contact him. Master Wu and the old lady are in a hurry and have already called the police." She thought that Shen Yuezhi and Fulai, who were soldiers, might be able to help.

Major Shen and Fulai hurriedly let her sit in the living room, then closed the door and listened carefully to Xiaohui explaining the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

Yuezhi heard that Biling mentioned that he and Fujita would go to Manchuria for a short stay. After several months, the family did not hear from this person, and everyone felt that something was wrong. The bad thing was that Manchuria had become a "country" Entry is prohibited without a visa, so they can't go there to find people at will.

In order to sustain the team, Xiaohui didn't dare to take a break every day. She has been acting for more than two months. If she continues like this, she is afraid that her body will collapse, but the big guy wants to eat and drink. Who can be the leader?

Seeing the pale girl, Fulai was very worried: "Boss Wu hasn't contacted you since he arrived in Manchuria?"

Xiaohui shook her head. Since the boss and the Japanese man left Beiping, no one has heard from him.

Shen Yuezhi frowned, paced back and forth in the room, stopped after a while and said: "He must still be with Fujita, maybe it's because of special reasons that he can't contact you, don't worry, I have acquaintances in Manchuria, who will I asked someone to inquire, and I will go to Wu's house in the next two days to see Biling's parents."

"You should pay attention to rest. If you are sick, there will be no one in the troupe who can take the lead." Captain Tong advised, this girl is already in her twenties, but she still hasn't found her home, and she is still working hard outside alone. He is an older brother. It really hurts to see it!

She let out a "hmm", but she couldn't help but shed tears, because of the Japanese invasion, the business of the theater was not as good as before, and the disappearance of Boss Wu added an invisible and huge pressure to her body. She was really out of breath under the pressure.

Major Shen rubbed his bangs, sat next to her, patted Xiaohui on the shoulder and said, "When we come back from Nanjing, if I can recover, I will help the theater troupe to support the scene at night."

Fulai smiled brightly. The man he loves is indeed extraordinary. When a friend is in trouble, he will definitely lend a helping hand, so that the troupe can gradually get out of trouble, right?

When she heard that the master was coming back to help, she was naturally very happy: "Brother Shen...Old Wang and the others have been looking forward to your return, and there are many fans who are waiting to see your performance of "Mu Kezhai". That's great!" At the same time, she saw the light of happiness shining in Big Brother Tong's eyes, and she was convinced by Boss Shen that only this man can be worthy of Big Brother Tong, and they will last forever.

Shen Yuezhi scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm getting old and my body is hard. If you can't act well, don't blame me."

Xiaohui covered her mouth and sneered: "Where would it be? Don't be modest, it's not like Boss Shen to be modest."

Shen Yuezhi stretched his waist, but it hurt a little because the wound was affected, he gritted his teeth and said, "Now I have to ask someone to find Biling quickly, I always think that little Japan is not a good thing."

Fulai couldn't help but frowned and thought, he thought Boss Wu must be safe and sound, maybe just like Yuezhi said, it was because of some delays.

Just when everyone was worried about Wu, Biling in Xinjing (Changchun) was living a life like a prisoner. During the day, he was locked in a red western-style building and could not go out. At night, Fujita came back to get his life. A little limited freedom, Japanese men would take him downstairs to walk in the garden, get a breath of fresh air, but he was never allowed to step outside the house.

In order to prevent himself from escaping, Shuji Fujita even put shackles on him, so that even if he had the chance to escape from the house, he would not be able to run far.The family hired two guards, and their every move was watched. He was kept like a bird in a cage, and he lost the most freedom, but all this was his own fault!

He passed the time by listening to the phonograph and reading books all day. It has been more than four months.
