A different kind of Lou Chun - "The Pretender" colleague

In the next few days, Minglou still slept more and woke up less.The body, which was already overworked and overdrawn, was even worse after this severe injury. Even the pain sweeping from the wound to the whole body could not overcome the lethargy and sleepiness caused by the massive blood loss and continuous low-grade fever.Fortunately, there were no other disturbances except for some fluctuations in the stock market. Ah Cheng and Wang Manchun took full responsibility for the daily affairs of the new government office and No. 76.On rare occasions when Minglou was sober, he only held his hand and picked out important things to tell him.And he often listened to it, and then unknowingly closed his eyelashes and fell asleep tiredly.

After resting quietly for more than a week, Minglou's mental and physical strength finally recovered.

When he was able to speak more coherently again and was no longer dizzy all day long, he refused to rest in peace.Instructing Ah Cheng to read to him the various documents accumulated every day, leaning on the bedside and busy for most of the day, it is not much easier than when he was at work.Every time it provoked Wang Manchun to lose his temper with red eyes, but he was always comforted by his gentle words, and then laughed out of tears, and then remained the same.

It was lunch time that day, and for the first time in history, Wang Manchun did not come to urge him to eat and rest. After a busy morning, Minglou raised his head from the pile of documents and asked Ah Cheng, "What time is it?"

Ah Cheng looked at his watch: "It's almost 01:30. Ah Xiang must have been waiting for a long time to bring you food, I'll go and see."

Ming Lou felt a little guilty: "Man Chun hasn't shown up until now, are you angry with me?"

Ah Cheng reached out to pick up the documents he had finished processing, and snorted: "It's okay to be angry with you, every time you blame me, blame me for giving these things to you. Who should I complain to?"

Ming Lou took advantage of the situation and said in his hand: "You kid doesn't help, you just talk sarcastic! Go and see what she is doing."

"I'm not going to help you coax your wife."

This soft murmur did not escape Minglou's ears, he narrowed his eyes dangerously: "What did you say? Really thought I was injured and couldn't cure you?"

"Don't dare dare!" Ah Cheng immediately put on a flattering smile, and confessed: "Sister Manchun said that the head of No. 76 is coming today. She will go back to No. [-] to take care of things, so there is no need for Zhu Huiyin to come over."

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Ming Lou breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his forehead no longer to hide, and pondered: "The meeting in Nanjing is over. Regarding the supply of supplies to the front line, what instructions does the organization have?"

"The Southern Bureau asked us to wait in silence. The head of No. [-] will directly arrange new tasks for us."

Ah Cheng straightened out the paperwork, and when he looked up, the look of people in front of him was so gray that he immediately became nervous: "Brother, do you have a headache again?"

"A little dizzy, it's okay." Minglou waved his hands vigorously, but couldn't hide the weakness of his voice.

Ah Cheng hurriedly tidied up the cushions and soft pillows behind him, helped him to lie down more comfortably, and said distressedly: "I'll bring the food, you should rest quickly after eating. In case Sister Manchun comes back and sees you so tired, it's inevitable that you will be so tired again." You have to scold me!"

Minglou pursed his lips and gave a shallow smile, his pale and tired face finally showed some tenderness and warmth.

Since he was able to resume eating, Ming Jing told Ah Xiang to send various kinds of warm and nourishing soups and porridges in different ways.Helplessly, Minglou's appetite has always been bad.At this moment, he was so exhausted that he put down his spoon very quickly, and there was almost no shortage of a hot bowl of porridge.

Ah Cheng couldn't help frowning and sighing, helpless.Since the last time the eldest brother couldn't bear to be rebellious in front of the eldest sister, he barely drank two mouthfuls of soup and then vomited blood, no one dared to force him to eat more.Only when Manchun was around could he coax him to make an appointment to eat another [-] to [-] percent.

Ah Cheng felt frustrated and at the same time suddenly a little scared: With the current physical condition of the elder brother, what would happen if he left Sister Man Chun?

"What do you think?"

The gentle and low voice pulled back his wandering thoughts, and Ah Cheng suppressed his panic and asked casually: "Brother, have you met Chief No. [-]?"

"I haven't seen anyone."

"But he seems to know you. He came to see you the night you were injured. How do I feel that he is very familiar with you?" Cheng couldn't hide his curiosity.

"Really?" Ming Lou was a little surprised, lowered his head and thought for a while: "Man Chun said that he came to Shanghai to visit her quietly, so he must have seen us together."

Ah Cheng nodded, removed the two pillows and supported him to lie down a little lower, and said, "I'll send the documents back to the office, you should go to sleep for a while."

Minglou involuntarily closed his eyes, and responded lightly.

When Ah Cheng packed up the tray and tableware and came back to the ward, he saw that his head was slightly tilted on the pillow, his eyelashes were quietly drooping, his breathing was even, and he had already fallen asleep.

Minglou slept deeply this time.When I woke up in a trance, I felt a burst of warmth on my arm that had been frozen and stiff from the intravenous drip for more than a week.Opening his eyes to see, Wang Manchun was breathing on it while carefully stroking the bruises on it.

Ming Lou couldn't help raising the corners of his lips, and raised his hand to touch her cheek.

"Wake up?" She immediately changed her expression, concealed all the tenderness and love, and said fiercely with a sullen face: "I didn't pay attention, and you made yourself so tired that you had a fever again! It really pissed me off!"

"Okay, don't be angry, it's the elder brother who is wrong." He apologized obediently, pampered and helpless: "It's not a serious problem that this low-grade fever comes and goes, don't worry."

With a hoarse voice that was as soft as silk, Wang Manchun's nose was sour, and the reproach and anger in his heart were instantly thrown into the sky.His fingertips lightly brushed the many needle marks on the back of his hand, and his voice was so soft that he could choke: "What's the matter? A persistent low-grade fever will take a toll on the body. I'm afraid I'll have another infusion in a while, and my hands are swollen. "

"It's just an injection. My Director Wang won't cry, will he?"

Seeing that she was about to cry, he pretended to be relaxed and teased, with a smile on his lips and love in his eyes.

"Who's going to cry? Huh!" She became tough again, bluffing: "Ah Cheng and I can't do anything about you. However, there are people who can watch you."

Minglou immediately turned bitter: "Manchun, please forgive me!"

For this army hospital full of Japanese, Ming Spiegel can be said to hate it.They kept clamoring for Minglou to be transferred to another hospital, or to be discharged and go home to recuperate.Naturally, they couldn't tell her that this was also the liaison station of the Japanese Communist Party.While recuperating, in the heart of the enemy, there is no safer, hidden and convenient place to work than this.Therefore, dealing with the mirror every day became the biggest headache for Ming Lou and Ah Cheng.

"Are you afraid?" Wang Manchun raised his eyebrows: "Next time I tire myself out like this, I'll let Sister Mingjing pick you up."

"Are you willing to?"

What Minglou blurted out made Wang Manchun speechless for a moment.

She never dared to say that although she felt sorry for him so much that he had to break up with her sister, she felt so happy when he moved into Wang's house and became like husband and wife with her.From the massacre at the age of 15 to now, she felt at home for the first time: going out with him every dawn, walking out of the magic cave every evening, washing all the lead, and brewing a pot of fragrant tea , carefully cook a few side dishes, play a record, choose a free book, sit on the sofa and wait quietly for him.No matter how late it is, my heart is filled with warm anticipation.

It's just that she has always known that no matter how beautiful a dream is, it will eventually wake up.He always wants to go home, to his sister who loves and depends on him.And that place is the forbidden land that she cannot follow.No matter how forced to be chic, it is difficult to hide the disappointment in my heart.

Seeing it, Minglou felt intense sadness in his heart, and pulled her into his arms: "Manchun, when I'm discharged from the hospital, you come home with me! If the elder sister doesn't agree, we will continue to live with you .”

Wang Manchun sighed and shook his head: "Don't be impulsive. In the current situation, I'm not afraid that your eldest sister will not agree, but I'm afraid that she will agree!"

In the past, what separated them was Ming Jing's resentment, the family affection he couldn't let go of and the self-esteem she couldn't let go of.But now, the suspicion of the Japanese, their identity, and his safety were all because they were afraid that Ding Jing didn't hate her enough, and it wasn't true.From being forced in the past to taking the initiative now, she couldn't show any weakness or wavering.

Minglou gritted his teeth: "Then I'll explain to my eldest sister, and I won't go home."

"What are you talking about! Of course you have to go back. Mingtai is gone, and you still don't go home. How uncomfortable it must be for her to stay alone in that big house!"

Minglou didn't speak, but silently hugged her even tighter.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Ah Cheng's voice sounded outside the door: "Sister Manchun, Mr. Akita is looking for you."

Not long after Wang Manchun went out, he returned to the ward with a middle-aged man with slightly frosted hair and bright eyes, and introduced to Minglou: "Brother, this is the head of No. [-] Central Committee."

Minglou raised his head from the stack of reports in his hand.Such a calm and calm person actually showed a surprised and shocked expression at this moment.

Wang Manchun couldn't help but turned to look at Ye Feng: "So, you know each other."

"It's not just acquaintance?" Ye Feng's voice revealed infinite emotion and nostalgia.

"Then you talk, I'll go out for a while." Wang Manchun retreated wisely.

"You are so old in a flash." Ye Feng looked at Minglou seriously, and couldn't help sighing: "Over 20 years, it's too late!"

Minglou tried his best to calm down his emotions: "I never thought that the head of No. [-] would be you."

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Your sister, is she okay?"

"She has never been married, and she has been working for us. Don't you know about this?"

"What I mean is..." Ye Feng said with some difficulty: "Is she doing well all these years by herself?"

Minglou was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "You have to ask her about that."

Ye Feng smiled bitterly: "She probably doesn't remember me long ago."

"Don't remember? The most beautiful time in a person's life, do you think she won't remember it?"

During the long silence, Ye Feng suddenly asked: "If I go to her now, do you think it's a good idea?"

Facing Shangminglou's inquiring gaze, he explained simply and clearly: "Our frontline supplies are very scarce. The continuous heavy bombing by the Japanese army has caused us to lose a lot of supply and transportation lines. The organization hopes to rely on the huge business network of your Ming family , open up new sources and channels, and deliver supplies to the base area. Of course, if you think it’s inappropriate for me to go, you can also send other comrades, or do your sister’s work yourself.”

When Ye Feng said this, his sharp tone suddenly became entangled: "The main reason is that I haven't heard from her for so many years, should I come out to disturb her life now?"

After thinking about it, Minglou finally rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "To be honest, I don't know, and I have no right to interfere."

There is infinite tenderness flowing in Ye Feng's eyes: "Do you know? Now that I close my eyes, I can still see her seeing me off at the train station. People come and go on the platform, hair blown by the wind, that The cyan floral cheongsam was given to her on her 17th birthday..."

Minglou lowered his eyes, feeling heavy pain in his heart: "I was too young at that time, so I owe you all."

"No, this troubled world owes us." Ye Feng paused, and slowly added: "Actually, many times, I'm glad she didn't go with me."

"Man Chun said, you often come to Shanghai." Ming Lou suddenly realized something: "For so many years, you have been secretly protecting her?"

"Not all, I just do what I can." Ye Feng smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm not that omnipotent. When I can't take care of myself, how can I take care of her? Besides, after Manchun returns to Shanghai, I don't even need her." I'm worried."

Suddenly, Ming Lou was so sad that he couldn't express it, and he lowered his head and said sadly: "What you did is much better than mine."

In just a few words, there is an endless amount of deep apology and deep affection.Ye Feng's heart softened, knowing what he meant, he couldn't help sighing: "I'm sorry, I knew too late what your sister did to Man Chun."

"Xiaojing has always been well-educated and reasonable. I never thought that she would put all the regrets and unwillingnesses, all the accounts, and all the hatred in her life on the Wang family. If I had known earlier, I would come back and persuade her , Chun'er won't be so lonely..."

"You don't need to say this to comfort me." Minglou gripped the quilt tightly with his hands, closed his eyes: "When we separated, it had nothing to do with eldest sister's objection, it was all my fault."

He was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.Ye Feng came forward to comfort him with pity: "I can fully understand your situation and mood at that time. It's all over, so don't blame yourself too much. Fortunately, after going around, you two finally returned Together. If love has God's will, this is the greatest gift God has given you."

Minglou took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Manchun is a good child. Her parents are both great pioneers of our party, how can she be confused with Wang Fuqu!" Ye Feng continued: "Don't worry, I will let your elder sister understand."

"How did you and Manchun's parents..."

"As soon as I left Shanghai and arrived in Guangzhou, I met Chun'er's parents, which saved me a lot of detours. Over the years, they have been both teachers and friends to me, and have saved my life several times."

"But you still dragged the only blood they left behind into the water." Minglou couldn't help but reply coldly.

"Why, blame me for letting her go this way?"

"She could have studied abroad and become an excellent doctor. She was safe and respected. Now?"

Minglou couldn't hide his resentment and anger, and his voice was excited: "A good little girl did this, she was born and died, and she became a traitor and a traitor that everyone scolded! When will I be able to wash it clean?"

"I pointed out this way to Chun'er, do you think I'm not sad, not worried about her?" Ye Feng also felt sad: "I know that you greeted the Shanghai Party organization back then. You think you can stop her choice, just like the choice I tried to stop you in the first place."

"You..." Minglou was startled when he heard this.

"Your sister sacrificed her love and ideals for you. In my selfish heart, I naturally want to try my best to protect you. I hope you will guard your sister safely and don't take risks."

"It turns out that it was you who delayed my joining the party for so long!" Minglou had an epiphany: "I always thought it was because of my family background."

"I have been obstructing it. But what happened? Not only did it fail to dispel your determination, you learned that our party needed someone to break into the KMT, and you secretly ran to join the Blue Shirts Club! At that time, I really wanted to drag you over Beat me up!"

Minglou stopped talking.

"Even if you are like this yourself, with Man Chun's personality, who among us can't respect her wishes? Her ambitions and pursuits were established with her parents when she was young. The path she chooses by herself, even if it is a sea of ​​swords and swords, has no end. Come on, who among us has the power to stop her?"

Ye Feng paused for a moment, looking into his eyes: "And you, if she is not such a person, how can you love her so stubbornly and passionately for so many years?"

Minglou's expression was shocked and he was speechless.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Ye Feng looked straight, looked at his watch, replied the identity of the No. [-] chief, and explained concisely and clearly:

"There is another specific task. Next week, Fujita Yoshimasa will go back to Nanjing to report on his work, and he will escort a train of ordnance and pig iron to Manchuria and Mongolia. This batch of supplies is too important to us. The party committee decided to carry out in the Suzhou section The trains are connected to the track, and this batch of freight is intercepted and sent to the base area in northern Jiangsu."

Minglou nodded and asked, "Need me to arrange the details of the action?"

"No, you are still seriously injured, so don't worry about it. Man Chun will find out the specific information about this shipment. We just need you, as Man Chun's immediate boss, to find an undeniable reason and arrange for her to go to Nanjing. On business, board this train with Yoshimasa Fujita. At that time, she will meet our comrades in Suzhou, unhook the carriages loaded at the back, try not to disturb the gendarmes on the train, keep the passengers on the train, and take actions together Losses are minimized."

Ming Lou frowned unconsciously: "As Man Chun, it's too risky to directly participate in such an action?"

"It's not the first time she has done this kind of thing." Ye Feng laughed a little: "Don't be nervous, this is definitely a piece of cake for her. You can ask Akita, when she was in Japan, did she have any dangerous missions?" Finished?"

"That's different." Minglou gritted his teeth: "Now, I'm here."

Ye Feng couldn't help becoming serious: "Comrade Cobra, I want to remind you..."

He stopped here and sighed secretly.

This is not the first time that a train has been robbed, and the danger is not high.However, who can boast that Haikou is safe, and who can know the outcome in the next second?

No matter how majestic and capable they are on the outside, the two of them are the children he has watched and grown up since childhood, and he cherishes and cherishes them from the bottom of his heart.Anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship between them clearly, so how can they bear to blame him for being overprotective and worrying at the moment?

Changing to a soft tone, Ye Feng continued in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will reconsider the action plan, and nothing will happen."

The author has something to say:

A very unsatisfactory chapter, it needs to be revised in the future.Everyone is welcome to give their opinions!

In addition, there is a big mention of the timeline. I thought about it carefully, and there is really a problem!Ming Jing took charge of the family business at the age of 17. According to the original book, Ming Lou was 10 years old at the time.There is a 7-year age difference between the siblings, which can explain how the elder sister raises the younger brother like a mother (if the age difference is reduced to less than five years, it seems that there will be no such feeling).The problem is, if Ming Tai was adopted at about the same time, not to mention the fact that the sex has not yet been established, it means that Lou Tai is at most 7 or 8 years old.At the beginning of the play, Mingtai's file shows 21 years old, so isn't Minglou less than 30?Manchun is already 28.Therefore, the reasonable explanation is: when Mingjing took charge of the family and gave up love and ideals, there was no Mingtai, and it was purely for Minglou.Adopting Mingtai should be a few years later.Wang Fuqu discovered that the little girl in Mingjing not only did not bring down the Ming family, but instead managed everything in an orderly manner, so she committed the crime again.With this setting, it is also more understandable for Ming Lou to feel sorry for his sister. It is not surprising why he controlled her like that.What do you think?
