Chapter 242

Return and expedition

What's the matter.

When Qiao ruochu saw their panic, he had a premonition that something very bad had happened.

Just then, a bomb caught fire less than 300 meters away from the forest mansion. Then, there came the cry of sadness.

Qiao ruochu is going to hide in the basement with Qingqing in his arms.

"Ruochu."

In the dust, Gu Jun's voice came through, anxious and concerned.

"Mr. Gu." Qiao ruochu calmed down and looked at the gentle figure in the smoke gradually enlarged and clear in front of his eyes, "Why are you here? Come in and hide. "

Gu Jun saw that she had nothing to do with it. He stopped and said, "if you hide well at first, I'll go to the big tunnel and have a look."

"What's the matter over there?"

"I heard that the air raid shelter was bombed, and the people inside were suffocated and trampled, resulting in many casualties."

What else does Qiao ruochu want to ask? When he looks at the past again, Gu Jun has gone far away. His figure is tall and warm, with a Western-style shirt and waistcoat. He walks in a hurry, vaguely with the grace and dignity of an aristocratic childe, and the piercing eyes that contrast with the thick smoke behind him.

In the evening, the heinous bombing finally stopped.

The gloomy silence in the sky overlooks the blood on the ground, and the desperation of a group of people who survived and are wriggling.

"It's said that the people hiding inside are suffocated alive..." Qiao ruochu got the news from Gu Jun, and he went back without success. As soon as the bombing was over, the government sent troops to block the scene and didn't let him come forward at all.

It is said that the medical staff who went in later were only doctors and nurses in ordinary hospitals. Some young people couldn't stand the tragedy inside and fainted on the spot.

Qiao ruochu looked at his gloomy face and sighed a little: "Jun, I'm numb to death. I don't know what to say."

Gu Jun shook his head difficultly. His voice was tired. "If things changed in the beginning, it's not clear whether Japan was at the end of the storm. Before the end, we shouldn't be discouraged first."

Qiao ruochu listened to his mature tone and laughed, "Mr. Gu, this is like what Xi Nuo said. You are really a family."

"You are wrong this time. My father said that in his letter." Gu Jun grinned bitterly. His gloomy brow was not much better than crying.

Many years later, looking back on this day, Qiao ruochu said that she was a hopeless pessimist and felt that the war between China and Japan would not be won. She, Lin Junmai, Gu Jun and others were dying. It was just a matter of time.

After a few days, the door of the Lin family's residence was knocked open at dawn. In the morning light, Xi Nuo, wearing a black hat, lowered her voice and said to Mrs. Yang who opened the door, "please inform my wife that something is urgent. I'll disturb her to have a rest."

Mrs. Yang looked behind him and saw a young man carrying a woman on his shoulder. The woman moaned slightly, as if she had been seriously injured

He said, "Mr. Yao, please bring people in first."

Xi Nuo steps into the gate of Lin's residence and waves to Mrs. Yang, "go and ask Mrs. Lin to get up." He would not take a step inside. Lin Junmai is not at home. He comes to the door at this time. He is afraid of causing any gossip.

After waiting for about three or five minutes, Qiao ruochu came out of the room. About three or five minutes later, sister-in-law Yang had already told her who she was. She ran straight over and asked with a pale face, "brother Yao, ah Pai, how about Mrs. Zhou? Get in the house. "

"No, you ask someone to pick up mengniang. I'll come back in the morning." Xi Nuo took off his black hat and held it in his hand, looking serious.

"Brother Yao," Qiao ruochu glared at him, "go out and come back. Your way has changed a lot."

Said Xi Nuo strange embarrassed, had to follow into the house.

At the light, if Qiao first saw that Meng Niang's injury was not fatal, he asked sister-in-law yang to take Meng Niang over and settle down, and then send her to the hospital for treatment at dawn.

"Back is back, but people almost abandoned, those black heart rotten lung things, alas..." Xi Nuo sat on the sofa, hissing

Dumb, eyes under a lump of black green, about from walk to come back did not sleep a complete sleep.

Ah Pai was no better than him. His face was thinner. He was not a few years older than Qiao ruochu, and his back was a little rickety.

Qiao ruochu looked at them and felt uncomfortable. He stood up and added a cup of tea. "I'll make breakfast for you."

"Don't bother, madam. I'll go out and get some." Ah Pai said, "Mr. Yao has something to say to you."

Qiao ruochu and Xi Nuo look at each other and give five yuan to a pai. He says, "when I went to Shanghai, my wife already gave me the money, but I haven't used it yet."

After he turned to go out, Xi Nuo looked at his back for a while, put his hands on the back of his head, leaned on the sofa and said: "there are traitors in Chongqing."

Qiao ruochu was stunned. "Isn't the central unification and the military unification being investigated all the time?"

There are traitors and spies everywhere. Qiao ruochu knew that. Xi Nuo's words obviously have another meaning.

"Why can the Japanese accurately drop the bomb at the entrance of the big tunnel?" he said

It's obvious that someone is reporting on the ground. "

"Find out who's reporting?"

"Who knows. This kind of thing has never been made public. " Xi Norton said, "when we came back last night, as soon as we got off the boat, it was so dark. Ah Pai and I felt miserable everywhere. It seemed that we could meet the ghost step by step. Our two big men were numb. Well

"Thank you, brother Yao. If it wasn't for you this time, mengniang might... "Qiao ruochu gave him a light smile." she came back alive, which can be regarded as a kind of comfort to adjutant Zhou's spirit in heaven. "

Items on the market in Chongqing are becoming increasingly scarce, especially for some potable products, such as women's perfume and dress.

When the family members began to talk about it, they were very dissatisfied.

"Now I can't buy things with money... Can't those business owners go to the battlefield with guns..."

"It's said that the only external transportation channel of our government has been cut off by the Japanese... I'm still thinking about these things... I'm afraid we won't be able to add fuel to the cars in the future..."

......

They talked with each other in a daze. Is the Burma Road really cut off?

Qiao Ruochu's heart trembles, she cares not about whether there is perfume selling on the market, but whether Lin Junmai's Quartermaster material can be adequately supplied.

In addition, a group of wealthy Nanyang businessmen contacted by Gu Jun have collected a batch of medical gauze and medical equipment. They are on their way to Chongqing, and they are bound to pass the Yunnan Burma highway.

If there is no gap in the Yunnan Burma road cut off by the Japanese, these urgently needed things on the battlefield will fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

By the end of September, Qiao ruochu's uneasy heart just let go a little.

Lin Junmai didn't complain about logistics in her letter. The medicine Gu Jun raised was successfully delivered to Changsha war zone after paying some price. What she was worried about didn't seem to happen.

It wasn't until Xi Nuo told her that the Chinese government was going to set up an expeditionary army to fight in Myanmar, and Lin Junmai would be transferred

Fortunately, he fell to the bottom of the valley and twisted his eyebrows.

"Is it for the Yunnan Myanmar highway that we have to send troops to Myanmar at this time?"

"On the one hand. It's said that we should cooperate with the Americans. " Xi Nuo's news is always timely. Qiao ruochu can always hear some important and general information from him.

In December, Lin Junmai was ordered to go to Tengchong, Yunnan Province. He called Qiao ruochu to join him.

"Mrs. Lin, why did he suddenly ask you to go to Tengchong?" Before leaving, Gu Qi suddenly came from around Chongqing and said that he was going to Hong Kong to say goodbye to Gu Jun.

"Who knows."

Qiao ruochu was stunned by him. To tell the truth, she didn't think about it.

Now asked by Gu Qi, she really felt that Lin Junmai was abnormal this time.

He always tried every means to persuade her to stay in Chongqing. He never let her trek to his war zone. He not only told her verbally, but also told her at the end of each letter,

We should all tell you: don't run around, wait for me in Chongqing.

Gu Qi was very embarrassed to see Qiao ruochu's low mood when he asked him, so he quickly opened the topic, "maybe the scenery there is unique. Deputy commander Lin wants to relax with his wife."
