At Hankou Railway Station, most of the military families who came to pick up the station had already left, but only a very small number of these military families received their relatives, and most of them received a small note from the commander of the troops where their relatives were located, a small note asking them to go to the local government to receive pensions. Many elderly mothers cried to death on the spot after receiving this note, which also made the atmosphere at the railway station even more sad and depressed.

Only the military subordinates of the 19th Brigade were still tiptoing toward the entrance.

The station staff came out several times to persuade the military and their families to leave, and repeatedly told them that there were no military lines entering the station today, and there would be no military lines in the future, so they told them not to wait any longer. However, the anxious military and their families couldn't listen at all and were still wandering outside the entrance, wandering, expecting, and fearing.

While gently stroking Shu Mohan's chest, Shu's mother advised: "Old Shu, let's go and go back."

Shu Mohan waved his hand and expressed his refusal. The heart-wrenching cough just now seemed to have drained his strength. He now had no strength to speak, but his expression was very firm and he had already thought about it in his heart. He wanted to see people alive and corpses alive. He would stay here before he got the exact news about his son.

On the other side, Ye Ruxue was whispering Yu Huan softly. Although he was equally sad, Ye Ruxue was older, more rational than Yu Huan, and calmer: "Xiaohuan, let's go, you really don't have to worry. I don't believe that something will happen to the 19th Brigade will be dangerous. They have all rushed through such a dangerous barrier in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing. There will definitely be no trouble this time."

Ye Ruxue's words gave Yu Huan some confidence and courage. She held her cousin's hand tightly and asked repeatedly, "Cousin, the 19th Brigade is really fine, can Awen really come back alive?" As he spoke, it seemed as if Ye Ruxue had just returned from the front line and had seen the officers and soldiers of the 19th Brigade with his own eyes. Seeing Ye Ruxue nodding, Yu Huan burst into tears and laughed.

The word "love" can really make people fascinated when it reaches a deep place. Because of the pain, Yu Huan has even lost the most basic thinking ability. This situation made Ye Ruxue feel so heartbroken. She couldn't help but worry. What if the 19th Brigade and Shu Tongwen have a good time, what should I do if my cousin is?

However, who would know that when he thought that the 19th Brigade might not come back, and when he wanted to be Xu Shijiu, the security officer in his memory could never come back, Ye Ruxue's heart was actually in pain. The pain was so strong that Ye Ruxue's white and red face had no trace of blood.

Thousands of miles away in northern Henan, Shu Tongwen was alone in a difficult journey in the wilderness.

The surging floods ultimately failed to stop Shu Tongwen from running towards Yan'an. Hunger, bandits and epidemics were also unable to defeat this thin young man. Sometimes, I really have to sigh at the power of faith. Once I have faith, many things that seem absolutely impossible will become easy and natural.

Shu Tongwen has found his belief-Marxism

Looking at the dirt road ahead, Shu Tongwen felt an unprecedented light. The resentment, depression and confusion when he stayed in the national army had been wiped out. Although he had not arrived in Yan'an and had not yet contacted Communists, Shu Tongwen had a considerable understanding of the Communists and their opinions.

Shu Tongwen firmly believes that if China wants to be strong, to get rid of the slavery of Western powers, and to make every compatriot live with dignity and no longer be discriminated against by Western powers as the sick man of East Asia, it will never be able to rely on the National Government. The essence of the National Government is a foreign comprador who relies on foreigners. China's future must only rely on the Communist Party.

Because the Communist Party is essentially a group of mud legs, and they have nothing to lose, so their determination to overthrow the old world and establish a new order is stronger than anyone else and firm.

Two children holding bamboo shuttle marks in their hands suddenly rushed out of the cornfield on the side of the road and blocked Shu Tongwen's way. One of the children with a thorny head pointed the shuttle mark at Shu Tongwen and shouted loudly: "Who is it?"

Shu Tongwen smiled and asked back: "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"

Another young child raised his small breasts hard and said proudly: "We are members of the Children's League of Lizhuang District Team of Yuanyang County. We were ordered by Captain Li to stand guard here. In front of us is the territory of our guerrillas. If you want to pass, you must accept our interrogation, saying, are you a little Japanese spy?"

"Guerrillas?" Shu Tongwen couldn't help but be happy. Isn't this exactly what he was looking for? He smiled and said, "I am not a spy, I am the National Army. I want to see you Captain Li."

"Are you a national army?" The two children's regiments determined that Shu Tongwen was indeed wearing a military uniform of the national army, and his little face immediately showed respect. Most of the people they came into contact with, he had a good evaluation of the national army. The younger one even asked anxiously, "Then have you participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Xuzhou?"

But the little kid knew that the battles in Songhu, Nanjing, Xuzhou and other places must have been told in detail to them.

"Everything has been participated." Shu Tongwen nodded slightly. He knew what the two children wanted. He smiled again, "I promise you that when you meet your Captain Li, I will tell you the story of the Battle of Shanghai. I want to tell you a hero and the hero unit he led."

The younger child cheered and jumped three feet tall. The older ones were a little calmer. He guessed that Shu Tongwen was alone, and the thin and weak could not be threatened, so he took him into the village. Shu Tongwen was not wrong. This so-called district team was indeed the anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines led by the Communist Party.

Shu Tongwen was warmly welcomed by the Lizhuang District squad of the Yuanyang County Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army, and the more than 100 remaining soldiers of the 19th Brigade were rolled in western Henan. The villagers in western Henan even regarded them as enemies, and were always guarding against them as if they were guarding against Japan.

Cao Jiao came back with red eyes. Obviously, she had just cried. In addition to the tears, there were a few black spots on her fair face, and her military uniform was full of dirty traces. Seeing Xu Shijiu and the black blind man, Cao Jiao flattened her mouth and cried again with a wow sound. She not only felt wronged, but also sad.

Heixiao just hugged Cao Jiao and comforted him silently.

Xu Shijiu just shook his head and sighed, and was silent.

A few days ago, the 19th Brigade finally walked out of the turbulent zodiac country for a lifetime. However, what awaited them was the rolling eyes of the fellow villagers from western Henan. The old camel took silver dollars to the village to buy grain. The villagers blasted it out several times. They could not buy grain and could not rob it. Xu Shijiu could only hope for Cao Jiao and Gu Yaqin, hoping that they could buy grain.

At first, Cao Jiao and the others did buy grain, but this trick soon stopped working. Once, Gu Yaqin went to buy grain, and almost asked a few half-year-old children to push it into the pond outside the village. Today, Cao Jiao went there, but she not only returned empty-handed, but also seemed to have caused the villagers to be filthy. No wonder she cried so sadly.

Of course, the fellow villagers in western Henan would not treat the national army like this for no reason.

The cause of the incident has to start with the Lanfeng Battle. The Lanfeng Battle was defeated, and more than 300,000 National Army was defeated. Many officers and soldiers were separated from the large army. The military supplies were gone and they began to rob. The discipline of the national army was generally good, but there would inevitably be bad apples. If the officers were lost during the defeat, military discipline would be particularly easy to be corrupted.

As a result, the relationship between the Kuomintang army and the fellow villagers in western Henan took a sharp turn for the worse.

Xu Shijiu didn't say anything, but Zhang Youquan exploded and rolled his sleeves and yelled: "These unlucky people are really unlucky? We won't eat him for nothing and rob him for nothing. We can buy Guangyang with them with good things, and this won't work?" After that, Zhang Youquan yelled at the dozen or so soldiers behind him, "Brothers, come with me."

Xu Shijiu turned around and asked coldly: "Zhang Youquan, do you think about it?"

Zhang Youquan gasped and replied angrily: "Aren't these troublemakers guarding us like they are guarding against bandits? Today I really act as bandits and robbed him. I still don't believe it. What's wrong with making trouble?"

Xu Shijiu didn't speak, but just took out his box cannon from the holster and opened the head of the machine.

Zhang Youquan and the dozen remaining soldiers behind him immediately became depressed. Although the captain's expression was not harsh, his eyes were very cold. They would never doubt that as long as they took this step, the captain would definitely shoot without hesitation. The captain had always hated the behavior of violating military discipline and plundering the people.

On the other hand, Heixiao took a towel and dipped it in water to wipe the black green on Cao Jiao's face, and asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"

Although the black blind man is tall and big, he looks like a black bear with a body of more than two meters, but his temperament is more gentle than that of an old cow. Even Cao Jiao feels embarrassed when he is gentle. However, Cao Jiao is only sweet in her heart at this moment. The grievances and sadness she suffered just now seem to be less intense.

Xu Shijiu took the dirty cloth bag from Cao Jiao, and saw that he had thrown it away. He took another cloth bag from the old camel, and then turned around and walked towards the small village not far away.

After only half a quarter of an hour, Xu Shijiu also came back. Although there was no trace of filth on his body, the black green on his face was much more blue than Cao Jiao. The corners of his mouth were even broken and bleeding. Gao Shenxing asked the officers and soldiers. Xu Shijiu didn't say anything, but only ordered the troops to set off immediately. Xu Shijiu didn't want to stay for a moment.

Cao Jiao came over to treat Xu Shijiu's wounds at the corner of her mouth, but Xu Shijiu refused.

What is this small wound on the corner of his mouth? I remember when he went to Jiangwan to blew the Japanese artillery position, he let the fragments tear open a few feet long gap on his back. Didn’t he survive? The wound on the corner of his mouth is easy to fold, but it is not so easy to bridge the wounds in his heart. At this moment, not only was Xu Shijiu bleeding inside, but the hearts of the people in western Henan were even bleeding. The breaking of the garden entrance and the looting of the national army caused the people in western Henan to be completely cold.

What Lao Jiang dug out at the entrance of the garden is not only the Yellow River, but also the blood of the entire nation. What flows out from this gap is not only the flood, but also the blood of the entire nation.
