Chapter 38 thirty seven

After several days of preparation, we followed the evacuation crowd and squeezed onto a merchant ship full of refugees. In order to avoid the bombing of enemy planes, the speed of navigation is very high, so the angle of turbulence is also very large.Among the few of us, except Yanan who had sailing experience, the rest of us had never lived at sea.When the merchant ship sailed from the inland river to the estuary, we could still move about on the deck; but as soon as we got out of the estuary, we felt dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, and we hurriedly lay down in the cabin, like hibernating snakes, not daring to move.

Occasionally, I can take a look at the scenery on the sea from the small round window, the white waves are surging, the water and the sky are the same color; these scenes are wonders that children who grew up on the mainland have never seen.However, no one is in the mood to appreciate it and write a poem praising the sea. The second day of sailing.Everyone couldn't support anymore, some people started to vomit, some people moaned on the bed, and the whole cabin became a hospital.With eyes closed, I just feel like my body is like a kite, floating in mid-air forever. In the morbid state, we all admire Yanan very much, she doesn't seem to feel any pain at all.While taking care of our diet, we inquired about the news of the war everywhere.Still jumping up and down as usual, active like a little skylark flying in the sea and sky.

At dusk on the third day we disembarked from the port.It's really strange that when one foot steps on the ground, the spirit immediately perks up.We found a hotel near the pier.Yanan was busy visiting an old friend, so we ran to a small food stall nearby; we wolfed down a big meal. In spare time after dinner, Yang Ziyun proposed to take a tour in the urban area. Qingdao is a beautiful city that we have lived in for a long time, but the impression it gave us was extremely chaotic and desolate. The streets are full of soldiers with guns and ammunition on their shoulders, and the crowds from the north who died.Some big companies have already closed their doors, and the few lights illuminate a group of excited and nervous faces.Yang Ziyun and Xiao Yudian were still chatting about their childhood memories, beaches, parks, schools, churches, and dolls in department stores.

Probably the blackout during the war has been implemented here, and it was not long after nightfall, and the street market was already completely dark.The police also blew the whistle of martial law, so we had to go back to the hotel in the dark. The curtains in the room were sealed, and a dim kerosene lamp was hung on the wall. We seemed to have walked into a gloomy mourning hall; we saw a ghostly figure, with his head bowed, checking his luggage. Miss Yanan!You're back!Xiaoyudian took Yanan's hand and said excitedly: Did you hear any news? The battle progressed fiercely. Yanan looked at everyone and said in a low voice: "It's getting worse too!"In our current conversation, the ancient capital of thousands of years has been ravaged by the enemy.

So, isn't the war going to spread here soon?Xiaoyudian was so nervous that she wanted to cry. It can't be so fast!Yanan said calmly: But here is also very tense, just now I saw an old professor, he advised us to leave here quickly! Still have to go!Shen Chao couldn't help but jumped up and said: Did we flee for our lives?If you want to go, let's go!good!You are afraid of death!I'm going to the battlefield tomorrow. is not what it means!Yanan bit his lip, resisting his excitement: We must think long-term, not rely on blood and courage. So let's discuss future actions.Zhang Youhua still had a sluggish attitude, and said slowly: I don't approve of reckless and impulsive stupidity.However, I can declare that I am not afraid of death!

Shen Chao wanted to argue with You Hua immediately, Yang Ziyun pulled him to sit down, and said relaxedly: Yanan!We hear from you. Originally, I was more positive than Shen Chao, and I didn't want to leave the northern battlefield at all.However, Yanan rubbed his hands and said: Mr. Ou entrusted me with this responsibility, I can't break my promise in the middle Anam!I'm afraid that her straightforwardness will arouse Shen Chao's reaction.Hastily stopped her words: I hope you will tell us your plan! If everyone agrees, we will go to Nanjing while the railway is running. Yanan stood up and said: The government must have a comprehensive plan to deal with the exiled youth, and you can choose the department you work in calmly.As for me, I have completed a task.

Yes!We can also drop by the provincial capital to have a look!Xiaoyudian said happily: We will organize the students from our alma mater, and plan to go to the countryside to do group training and publicity work. At that time, I wanted to organize a guerrilla army to truly defend my hometown, so I took up the gun!Shen Chao raised his chest, as if he wanted to demonstrate to Zhang Youhua: "Old Zhang!And you! I!Zhang Youhua said slowly: I plan to sell the inheritance my father left to me, and run a newspaper in the provincial capital, wouldn't it be good to promote it for you? alright!Yanan smiled lightly, waved his hands and said: In the torrent of the Anti-Japanese War, I hope everyone can find a suitable post to shed blood and sweat!

Then we have to decide the date of the trip immediately!Yang Ziyun said calmly: Sister Yanan was right just now, while the train was running smoothly. It was decided in this way, Yanan looked at his watch and said to everyone: Now everyone go to sleep, get up early tomorrow morning to catch the train.
