"Who are you guys?" They spoke poor Chinese.

"This is Director Wen's son, and this is his driver." A policeman introduced with a smile, first pointing at Wen Shixuan and then at the driver.

The Japanese spread a smiley face and looked at Wen Shixuan tenderly.

Wen Shixuan knew that they did not take less of his father's money, that's why they were so polite to him.

"Then who is this?" They looked at Ji Shaobai.

Ji Shaobai raised his head and greeted him with a smile, so that they could see more clearly whether his appearance was the person they were looking for, and took out his resident card from his arms and handed it to them.I don't know if it's because of the weather or what, but Ji Shaobai's forehead can clearly see fine sweat all over.

"This is my teacher." Wen Shixuan said with a smile, and at the same time took out a few pieces of paper money from the basket to show them, "We plan to go to the countryside to worship our ancestors."

A few policemen and puppet soldiers took a few steps back in fear of bad luck, and laughed along with them.

The one next to him seemed to be an interpreter, and whispered in the Japanese ear.Normally, Wen Shixuan hated these people the most, but now he had to put away his temper and try to curry favor with them.

"So it is."

"Mr. Wen is a very good man."

A few police officers gave them a few symbolic glances before letting them drive away.The oppressive atmosphere was swept away, and the driver began to talk freely.When the car completely passed the checkpoint, Ji Shaobai seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, relaxed and leaned back on the seat, looking outside with a gratified smile.It's over.

"Sir nervous?"

"No." He wasn't nervous, he was just afraid that they would find Dr. Chen in the car.

After leaving the city, the road became rough.The car was on the road for a while.

Wen Shixuan didn't continue talking, and turned his head to look out the window. The dense trees receded quickly in front of his eyes, and the dust they stirred up was almost invisible.When he was wiping Ji Shaobai's sweat just now, Ji Shaobai had an unnatural expression, and even backed away a bit.These show that Ji Shaobai doesn't like his closeness, maybe even feel disgusted.He was sulking at himself.

"Well, can you stop in front of me?"

"what happened?"

Wen Shixuan asked, seeing Ji Shaobai showing embarrassment and covering his stomach with one hand.Needless to say, he knew what was going on.

Wen Shixuan asked the driver to stop, he helped Ji Shaobai get out of the car, and walked to the place with dense leaves.

"I lost my stomach after eating at noon." Ji Shaobai explained to him.

Wen Shixuan is too vigilant and smart, if he stays in the car.Ji Shaobai was worried that Dr. Chen would be exposed, so he had to find a way to take Wen Shixuan out of the car when Dr. Chen got on and off the car.

A car kicked up dust.

The old ghost stood by the side of the road, watching the car disappear in front of his eyes, and then turned around to face the few people standing in front of him.

"How is it, are you all right?" the old ghost asked a man in his 30s in front of him.

The man waved his hand, "I'm fine."

There are two strangers around the man, they are dusting the man's body.This man is Dr. Chen.A few days ago, the old ghost informed him that there was a way to send him out of the prison in Shanghai so that he could get ready.This afternoon, the old ghost took him to a place not far from the city gate. There was a car parked there. He sneaked under the car. This car took him out of Shanghai. The bottom of the car rolled out.Now that he escaped, the old ghost came to meet him.The destination of the next stop is East China. His research results can be used on the front line to serve the motherland.

"Thank you for what you have done for me. I, Chen, will never repay you in my lifetime."

"Use your research results on the battlefield, and their sacrifices will be meaningful. The devils want to use poison gas warfare on the battlefield in East China. We will find out where they built their laboratories, get the blueprints, destroy their laboratories, and destroy them." The enemy's plan." The old ghost said firmly.He was different from the usual one, his back was straightened, and he was more energetic than before.

"Shanghai will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, we will stick to our posts."

"It is precisely because of you that you are a knife on the enemy's head and a strong backing for comrades of the people."

Dr. Chen saluted the old ghost, and the old ghost returned the salute.

"May I ask who is the comrade in the car?"

"Don't worry about this, and don't ask. You are going to the battlefield, take care." The old ghost gestured to Dr. Chen to take care. "Use your research results on the battlefield, and their sacrifices will be meaningful. The devils want to use poison gas warfare on the battlefield in East China. We will find out where they built their laboratories, get the blueprints, destroy their laboratories, and destroy them." The enemy's plan." The old ghost said firmly.He was different from the usual one, his back was straightened, and he was more energetic than before.

"Okay." Dr. Chen patted the old ghost on the shoulder in satisfaction.Turning around and walking down the path, the other two followed behind him.

The sun is now westward.

The sun is westward.Everything around is shrouded in a piece of orange, desolate and warm.

Director Wen's car was parked at the foot of a barren mountain, surrounded by lush grass, and the car couldn't drive up the road up the mountain.

"Uncle Qi, this gift is for you."

"It can't be done." The driver refused verbally, but his eyes were fixed on the beautifully wrapped gift Wen Shixuan was holding in his hand.

"You just take it, and you will have to be tired later to drive back." Wen Shixuan looked into his eyes, smiled, and stuffed it into his arms without rejection.

Wen Shixuan held the basket in one hand, supported Ji Shaobai with the other, and the two walked up a small path.The sunlight stretched their shadows very long, and they cuddled together intimately.

Two graves, in the middle of the mountain, under a big tree.Many fallen leaves are small graves.It seems that people haven't been here for a long time, and weeds growing around half a person's height.

"Sir, sit down." Wen Shixuan asked Ji Shaobai to sit down on a stone pier not far away, and he himself was obliged to weed.

Looking at Wen Shixuan's back, Ji Shaobai thought of his own parents. He lived alone all these years, and no one took care of him for a long time.I haven't been home for seven or eight years, and I don't know how they are doing. I heard that his younger brother's child was born a while ago.His family is in Tianjin. It is a well-known local family, a wealthy family, and two brothers.In order to study, he left home since he was a child, and later went to Japan to study. After returning to China, he took part in the revolution. After joining the Communist Party, he followed the army to travel east and west until he came to Shanghai three years ago and hid in Shanghai.

Wen Shixuan cleared away the fallen leaves from the tombstone, and dried the words written on the two wooden boards with his hands.Because of its age, it has been washed by rainwater.Ji Shaobai passed Wen Shixuan's back and vaguely saw the word "Ji" written on one of the wooden boards.The old ghost must have searched for a long time before he found two graves with the same surname for him to worship.He didn't know who was buried here.No matter who they are, they are all compatriots.

In the era of war and chaos, everything is at stake.People who are alive can't control, how can anyone control the dead.Ji Shaobai was full of thoughts, offering incense and burning paper money.

The surroundings were silent, and a group of crows croaked a few times and flew up from the branches.

In the sky, a group of wild geese flew north in formation, they were free.

Wen Shixuan helped burn paper money.There is not much paper money, and it will be burned soon.

After finishing, the two sat beside each other in silence.In Wen Shixuan's view, Ji Shaobai was too sad to be so silent.He was quietly beside him.Wait until the fire burns out and turns into non-hot ashes.

It was getting dark and I couldn't see the road clearly.

"It's not hot anymore, let's go back." Ji Shaobai said, and Wen Shixuan suddenly squatted down in front of him.

"Sir, come up."

"What are you doing?"

"It's getting dark, we have to go back quickly." According to Ji Shaobai's speed of going down the mountain, the sky will be completely dark, and the road will not be clear by then.After walking such a long distance, his legs hurt too.Wen Shixuan thought so.

Ji Shaobai hesitated for a moment before lying on Wen Shixuan's back.

Having been in contact with Ji Shaobai a lot, Wen Shixuan felt sorry for him.Both parents died, lame, lived alone for many years, wanted to offer incense to parents, but because of my own feet, I didn't come for so many years.He must have felt very uncomfortable.I am studying and teaching, and I receive not much money every month. The living environment is not good, and the food is not good.The coarse grains he ate at Ji Shaobai's place last time were hard to swallow.Distributing leaflets, writing patriotic articles, and arranging patriotic plays have been doing these activities for a long time, about two years.But he didn't really get in touch with the common people at the bottom. Ji Shaobai was the first common people he came into contact with.

"I accompany my husband every year." Driven by emotion, Wen Shixuan said.

"it is good."

On Wen Shixuan's not-so-broad shoulders, Ji Shaobai found the long-lost warmth and touch.For so many years, he has lived on the tip of a knife, and one wrong step is death. He is walking on thin ice, trembling, and he can't relax for a moment.Now, he's on his back, really relaxed.

When Ji Shaobai returned home, it was very late, in the dark night, there were few stars.

Wen Shixuan asked the driver to wait a moment, and he sent Ji Shaobai to the door.

"Soak your feet in hot water, it will make you feel better."

"I will. It's late. You should go back quickly. Your father should be worried."

"Then I'll go back first."

"Ok!"

Wen Shixuan walked with his hands in his trouser pockets, looked back, saw that Ji Shaobai was still standing at the door, he waved goodbye to him.
