Chapter 96

War begins

Author: early spring flowers bloom

War begins

In the cold night, a cold wind passed by, blowing away the heat around the body and making people shiver suddenly.

Bu gathered up his outer shirt and glanced at his second brother who was frowning. He felt uncertain and sighed, "By the way, how did you check out the people who visited Huaiyuan at night a few days ago?"

"There are some shadows." Bu Er is responsible for intelligence. When he talks about business, he is not vague at all, and he does not make any judgments.

"Well, hurry up, this is related to the safety of the young lady." As soon as he finished speaking, Bu Ren had already drifted away.

"Brother, wait for me. Why are you so anxious? You haven't even made it clear." Bu Er lowered his voice and yelled, "What did the lady give you?"

While Bu Er was talking, he was dumbfounded when he looked at his eldest brother, who was more handsome in martial arts. He didn't dare to stop.

Fortunately, they were familiar with the terrain, chose uninhabited areas, and stayed away from Shao's house. Otherwise, this posture would definitely be exposed.

Bu Yi probably knew it well, and had no intention of stopping at all. He directly spread the word to the back, "These days, you stay in Huaiyuan personally, and I will go out of the city."

"Leave the city?!" Before Bu Er could ask any more questions, Bu Yi could no longer be seen.

In the vast darkness, no matter how Bu Er stamped his feet, he couldn't catch up, so he could only sigh and stop.

"Second Master, do you really want to stay?" Seeing Bu Er sighing, his men hurriedly stepped out.

"What the hell, you didn't hear what I said, let's go!" Bu Er turned over neatly and climbed onto the outer wall of Huaiyuan.

Seeing the second master entering the courtyard, his men followed him up without hesitation.

In fact, Shao Yunshi did not agree to them guarding the garden in the cold night. This was a private agreement between Bu Yi and the others.

It's a good thing that the people who stayed behind all had strong physical skills, otherwise they would definitely be frozen into lumps of ice. Even so, it would be very freezing.

Early the next morning, Xiaodong, who got up early, discovered several people guarding the hospital.

They were well hidden in the first place, but it was a pity that they had been frozen all night and their movements must have slowed down a lot. Only then did Xiaodong discover them.

Xiaodong knew, and Shao Yunshi naturally followed suit.

She ignored her anger and hurriedly called Ximei to go to the kitchen to make a decoction to dispel the cold. After freezing it overnight, the simple ginger decoction was definitely not effective.

Ximei also knew how powerful she was, so she immediately went to the small kitchen in the courtyard without saying anything about serving the young lady first.

After the guards had taken the decoction, Shao Yunshi also packed up.

She ignored breakfast and directly called Uncle Bu into the big study room.

The big study room was very warm because Xiaodong lived there yesterday.

As soon as Bu Er came in, he shivered immediately.

Shao Yunshi looked at it, feeling both moved and helpless.

Then, she shook her head and said, "Was your vigil arranged by Uncle Bu Yi?"

Bu Er said "hey hey" in amusement and said: "It's not peaceful outside. There are so many people from the south suddenly pouring into Yangzhou City. We'd better be cautious."

Yesterday, on the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, which was January 28, 1932 in the Gregorian calendar, the war started in Shanghai.

All of a sudden, people from the surrounding areas of Shanghai rushed to Nanjing.

Shanghai, Guofu, Yangzhou City.

The three places enjoy convenient transportation and close exchanges.

When the war broke out in Shanghai, Yangzhou City was the first choice place of refuge compared to the surrounding areas of Nanjing.

For a time, there were ships, cars, people, and a lot of noise.

Although Shao Yunshi had not seen the chaos outside, she was familiar with it. War and chaos were the scene she least wanted to see.

Shao Yunshi sighed secretly and said to Bu Er: "Since we have to guard the Sophora Garden, let's just discuss it. If you do this, it won't be worthwhile if you get cold sickness later."

This was a bit loose. Bu Er was more lively than Bu Yi, and he smiled directly and said: "Miss, do you agree to our vigil?"

Shao Yunshi nodded and said: "Well, we can't stop it, so we can only make good arrangements. I don't have to let you freeze."

Next, the two discussed the matter of guarding.

Shao Yunshi had just finished delivering the second cloth, but before she even brought the bowl, Xiaodong came to report, and her little aunt Shao Lanxiang came.

In the Shao family, due to the young master's illness, Old Mrs. Shao canceled the morning greeting activities, and no one was allowed to move around the house.

So, the surrounding area became quite quiet all of a sudden.

Then, Shao Yunshi was not surprised that her little aunt had arrived at Huaiyuan, and she learned the news.

Shao Lanxiang arrived quickly, and as soon as Shao Yunshi came out of the second door of the inner courtyard, she was in front of her.

"Auntie, are you busy this morning?" Shao Yunshi held her little aunt's arm.

Shao Lanxiang came alone, and her girl Xiaocui was sent out to find out the news.

Shao Lanxiang obviously had something to do, so he nodded and said, "Well, are you ready for breakfast?"

"I'm about to use it, has Auntie used it? If not, just eat some together." Shao Yunshi thought that Auntie might have come on an empty stomach.

Sure enough, Shao Lanxiang didn't refuse and nodded: "Well, since you are using it, I will eat some with you. Originally, I planned to use some snacks as a cushion on the road."

"Auntie, are you ready to go out?" Shao Yunshi asked curiously.

Shao Lanxiang sighed and said: "The war started in Shanghai yesterday, so we can't wait to raise funds."

This topic was too heavy, so Shao Yunshi sighed, "What can I do to help?"

Shao Lanxiang patted her niece's hand and said: "The difference now is not only in funds, but also in manpower and supplies. The most important thing is the emergency kit."

Shao Yunshi's eyes flashed, "Aunt and uncle answered the call?"

Since President Jiang came to power again, it has been difficult for my aunt to contact her uncle. Shao Lanxiang and Shao Yunshi had murmured about this matter.

Shao Lanxiang knew that her niece was very clever and did not dodge. She nodded and said, "Well, your uncle said that he won't go to the battlefield for a while."

Shao Yunshi was relieved when she heard that her uncle didn't have to go to the battlefield, "That will make my aunt feel more at ease."

Shao Lanxiang couldn't explain his mood, and added: "The government is busy relocating to Luoyang, and your uncle is busy with this matter."

Shao Yunshi's eyes flashed and she said: "It seems that the government is determined to fight to the end."

"Well, the purpose of moving the capital is to show determination. The country can no longer afford the three northeastern provinces." Shao Lanxiang said in a low and authentic tone.

Although Shao Yunshi has no feelings for this government, the country is still the same country, so naturally she feels the same way.

However, she was not discouraged and said directly: "The government's determination to resist the war is the savior of the nation. After all, China is a big country and will not just sink into depression."

The niece's words were the most inspiring words that Shao Lanxiang had heard in these days.

Shao Lanxiang's passion was probably ignited by her niece's words, and her mood improved a lot. Then she smelled the unique warm fragrance in her niece's room, and she felt even more comfortable.

I saw her shining eyes, staring directly at her niece and saying: "Do you know what I mean when I come to you today?"

Ah? Shao Yunshi was a little dumbfounded. She knew that her little aunt must have something to ask her for, but she didn't know what it was.

Seeing that her aunt was rarely in a good mood to tease her, she could only guess cooperatively: "But aunt wants to take me out to see the world?"
