Phoenix Feather Dedicated to the Admiral

two months later.

The Japanese garrison ushered in the last personnel change, and Kimura Dazuo, who was a super high school student, was on the evacuation list, and he was about to board the returning passenger ship to return to his homeland.

Grass grew at the gate of the Lan family's former house, and there were many people throwing rubbish.

Qi Mo brought a broom and a dustpan to clean up the gate of the house. This was the third time this week.After the news was successfully sent back to Yan'an, he had nothing to worry about and would often come here to have a look.

When he came back for the first time, the door was stinky, and all kinds of dirty things were piled up together, and he cleaned it all afternoon.

Qi Mo cleaned up the ground in front of the house, sat down on the high mahogany steps, and took out a small bottle of wine from his coat pocket.

There are children chasing and playing around with small wooden sticks, and there are also two or three students passing by together.They walked around the wall made of blue stone bricks, holding textbooks in their hands, and reciting recently published poems.

"Minuous bells sound far away, Yiyilin shadows Wan Yazang.

A life of disappointment has become today, and no one in the world is concerned about the sunset.

Broken mountains and rivers welcome victory, and the remaining years send bleakness.

What year is the dream of Zhumen Songju, and I recognize another country as my hometown. "[1]

He drank a glass himself, then poured another glass on the ground with the bottle cap.

After a while, I saw a small donkey cart parked at the door, Qi Mo looked up, a plainly dressed woman jumped off the donkey cart, and asked with a happy face if this was Lan Xiyu's residence.

Qi Mo didn't say yes or no, he just asked the woman why she was looking for Lan Xiyu.

"My father went to the teahouse to look for Hu San and tried his best. It was Lord Lan who rescued him and sent him out of Shanghai. After Hu San was beaten to death, he fished me out of there and sent me to my father." The woman looked grateful , "Now that the devils are about to lose their power, my father and I can finally go home. This is not... a cart of vegetables has been brought here. I know that Lord Lan has no shortage of food. It's just a little thought."

Qi Mo was silent for a long time after hearing this.

"He will be very happy." Qi Mo said.

"Then I bring the vegetables in?"

"No, he's not here now, you can take the dishes back first, and I will convey your thoughts." Qi Mo said, "If you have time in the future, it would be great if you could come and help sweep the soil in front of his door .”

The woman was stunned.

Qi Mo stood up, nodded to the woman, put away the wine and left there.

……

Early the next morning, the construction department had just opened the door for work, and an unexpected visitor was greeted at the door of the unit.

The man was wearing a thick windbreaker with the brim of his hat pulled down low.

"Excuse me, is Section Chief Li Min here today?"

The security guard said: "Oh, yes, are you looking for Section Chief Li? On the second floor of the North Building, please register at the door first..."

Before he could finish speaking, a needle appeared in the man's hand, and he pricked the security guard's neck. The anesthetic was injected, and the security guard passed out on the ground without saying a word.

The brim of the top hat was raised, revealing Qi Mo's cold eyes.

He walked into the security room, closed the entrance and exit gate of the unit, and locked it.

"click".

He crossed his hands and pulled out two Brownings from his waist. He walked to the door and shot the door, breaking the access control and monitoring, and smashing the glass door.

The glass shattered to the ground, and the movement alarmed everyone in the building.

"What's wrong?! What happened!"

Someone leaned over from the stairs to check, and was instantly shot in the head by a bullet.The blood mist exploded in the air and splashed on the wall.

The Construction Department is now basically officials from the Wang puppet government-the situation is not good, and the original garrison is also scattered, and there is no defense force.Therefore, the first moment they heard the gunshots, they didn't want to fight back, but to run away.

No one knew how many enemies there were, and no one thought that Qi Mo came by himself.

Occasionally, some came out with a gun, and they were shot dead by Qi Mo before they could even raise the gun to take aim.This further convinced them that a certain force had attacked the government building.The day they dreaded finally came.

Qi Mo didn't delay for a moment, and went directly up the stairs to the second floor.The people rushing out from the corridor turned their heads and ran away when they saw him as if they had seen a ghost.Qi Mo stood at the end of the corridor and fired with two guns, hitting the target.

People in black suits struggled to crawl on the ground, a long bloodstain winding out.

Browning emptied the bullet, and Qi Mo threw the gun directly on the floor with two "clangs".

He then pulled out a revolver from his waist, and reloaded every one that moved.

The smell of blood permeated the space, and the smell was pungent and disgusting.The red velvet carpet was stained dark black and mottled into hard lumps.

He raised his gun and walked to the largest north room on the second floor, and saw Li Min riding in embarrassment by the window, about to jump down.

Qi Mo lowered his eyes.

Li Min also found him, and immediately dared not move. He raised his hands high and said, "Sir, which faction do you belong to? Military commander? Underground party?"

Qi Mo didn't say a word.

Li Min went on to say: "There are a lot of gold bars in my drawer, you can take them away! There are also antiques and famous paintings in my office, I can give them to you!"

The sun reflected on Li Min's wrist, and a glare hit Qi Mo's eyes.He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What's in your hand?"

Seeing that Qi Mo was interested, Li Min immediately took off the watch and put it by the window, flattering him: "This is a Swiss watch, it's quite valuable."

"Don't put it so close, throw it on the sofa." Qi Mo said.

"Okay, okay." Li Min responded repeatedly and threw the watch out.

"boom!"

The gold watch fell on the soft sofa cushion, the window glass and even the window sill were splashed with blood, and the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground came from downstairs.

Qi Mo walked to the sofa, and there were sirens and troops gathering outside.He glanced briefly, those people were trying to figure out how to open the floodgates of the unit.

Qi Mo picked up the gold watch and put it in the inner pocket close to his chest, and took out two grenades.He bit off the tab and threw it hard out the window.

Afterwards, Qi Mo speeded up and ran to the room on the other side of the corridor, and jumped out of the building amid the deafening explosions and gunshots behind him.He put on anti-electric gloves, climbed over the back wall, and ran towards the river.

The river brought humid wind, and he breathed greedily.My heart was beating hard, and every time I could feel the "click" of the mechanical watch in my breast pocket.

Four or five years ago, the two of them, and Yan'er, used to ride bicycles along the riverside and laugh and laugh together.At that time, they were still wearing the uniform student uniforms in the school, and handouts were neatly placed in their schoolbags.

Qi Mo laughed, and the crowd walking by the river looked at him curiously.He ran forward as if there was no one around, and his voice echoed throughout the river.

"I'll take you back to Yan'an—"

……

On the afternoon of the next day, General Kimura, who was going to return to Japan by passenger ship, was attacked at the port.

According to insiders, the assailant broke into the Japanese phalanx alone, killed more than [-] enemies, was shot several times, and finally died with Kimura.

……

On August 1945, 8, Japan announced its unconditional surrender.

Luo Su was a reporter from Suzhou Daily. On the day the news was published, he was very happy to take a newly printed newspaper that was still warm and went to the military hospital.

There lived a girl in the hospital, who was seriously injured in the war of resistance four years ago and was secretly transferred here.At that time, it took a long time to rescue the person from the death line. Because of the setback of the brain and spine, the girl could not speak and walk for a long time after waking up, and temporarily lost her memory. She only remembered that her name was "Yan'er". ".

He met this anti-war hero by chance. On the open day of the hospital, he saw Yan'er wearing a hospital gown and learning to walk with a cane with the help of a nurse. Don't shout stop.He went forward to hand a glass of water, sat down and chatted with Yan'er for a while, and cheered her up, telling her not to give up her efforts, and those forgotten things would definitely be remembered one day.

Yan'er smiled at him.The breeze swayed the branches of the ginkgo tree behind her, and a ginkgo leaf fell on the top of her hair, like a fluttering butterfly.

From then on, whenever he had time, he would come to the hospital to see Yan'er, and watched her improve day by day, and she was gradually able to walk on her own and speak fluently.The only pity is that Yan'er still can't remember the past.

"They told me that I was transported from Shanghai. Do I have any family members there?" He still remembered the regret in Yan'er's eyes when she said this.

Luosu quickened his pace.When he arrived at the hospital, Yan'er was sitting on the hospital bed eating, with two bags of fruit beside him.He handed the newspaper to Yan'er and told her the good news of Japan's surrender.Yan'er was obviously also very happy, holding the newspaper and reading it.

"Look slowly, I'll wash the fruit for you." Luosu said.

"Thank you." Yan'er smiled at him.

Luosu took out a few old newspapers from the cabinet and spread the table, ready to put the fruit on it after peeling.

Ten minutes later, when he came in again with the washed fruit in his arms, the girl on the hospital bed was holding a newspaper with red eyes.Luosu was startled, and walked over to ask Yan'er if she was not feeling well.

Yan'er shook her head, her fingers slid across the headlines of the newspaper.

Luosu looked along and saw that it was the news report that Mr. Kimura was attacked in Shanghai port more than half a year ago.

"Qi Yan." The girl slowly spit out these two words.

Luosu was stunned, and realized after a while: "You remember? Is this your name?"

Qi Yan's tears slid down both sides of her cheeks.She looked up to Luosu and said, "Can I trouble you with something?"

"Tell me." Luosu hurriedly said.

"Can you find the "Declaration" for the past three or four years for me?" Qi Yan's eyes filled with tears, "I want to see it."

The next day, Luosu contacted his acquaintances to obtain as many declarations as possible, and shipped them all to Qi Yan.Qi Yan flipped through them one by one, from sunrise to dusk.In the middle, Luosu advised her to rest a few times, but Qi Yan didn't listen.

Luosu saw Qi Yan cry again, it was when she read the news about the explosion of the heavy industry equipment factory last year.

Qi Yan didn't say anything, Luosu didn't ask, but just sat quietly beside her.

In the evening, the branch secretary came to visit Qi Yan.The moment he heard that Qi Yan had regained his memory, he came over to supplement Qi Yan's registration materials for joining the party.

Luosu originally felt that Qi Yan was exhausted from reading newspapers for a whole day, and wanted to suggest that he register the next day, but unexpectedly, Qi Yan readily agreed.

The branch secretary sat down and took out a pen and paper.

"Name."

"Qi Yan."

"age."

"19 is old."

"Our comrades are really young and promising. When did you join the party?"

"January 1940."

"Young old comrades, then, do you still remember the person who introduced you to the party?"

Qi Yan nodded.

The branch secretary pushed his glasses: "Okay, let's talk."

"Lanxi Yu."

The pen hovered over the notebook, and the secretary raised his head.Also stunned was Luosu who was sitting next to him.

Tears welled up in Qi Yan's eyes, her cheeks trembled uncontrollably, and her voice trembled: "The referrer for joining the party, Lan... Xiyu."

Cicadas chirped twice outside the house, the sun was setting in the west, and the full moon climbed high into the sky, casting a cool light.

……

In the spring of 1950, Qi Yan, who took back the relics of his relatives, took a train to Yan'an accompanied by Luosu.

There was a small box in her bosom, and she was going to put it in the cemetery with her brother's tomb.

The carriage swayed slightly, and she opened the lock of the box with the bright sunlight.

There was a gold watch in it, and a small urn.

It is said that before Qi Mo died, the only things he asked the organization to help keep were these two things.As if worried that the items inside would be damaged by the collision, Qi Mo thoughtfully stuffed cotton and velvet pads as partition buffers.

She closed the box gently and looked out the train window into the distance.

The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers drifts across ten miles of brocade clusters, and blows into thousands of families in the busy farming villages.

So far, spring has really come.
