When Xu Ruifeng sat casually across from his desk, his eyes flashed with an unusually firm sense of direction, and he was no longer as confused as before, like a wandering spirit.
"Old Xu!"
Under the dim light in the room, Shang Kun stood next to Xu Ruifeng with a smile on his face. He put one hand on the table and the other on the back of the chair. He took the initiative to bend down and said, "You really surprise me."
"He actually entered the enemy camp alone in front of half of the Japanese army in the Japanese area, shot Bai Jianwu to death with a gun, and then escaped calmly, letting the Japanese people escape and blocked the entire Japanese area for the whole night."
"Even I only came out after the Japanese overseas community was lifted this morning!"
He straightened up, picked up the foreign wine on the desk and poured a glass for Xu Ruifeng: "You are a strong man of the country, so you should drink!"
Ding.
The crisp sound of wine glasses clashing was heard, and Xu Ruifeng drank it all in one gulp. Not to mention anything else, drinking this wine made him happy.
Crunch.
There was a sound at the office door. Zhu Yeqing, wearing a cheongsam and swinging her waist, walked in. In her hand, she held a letter full of numbers: "Sir, secret telegram from Nanjing."
Shang Kun quickly filled out the secret message word by word with a pen on the table. He didn't even need to look at the code book, and then the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.
"Xu Ruifeng!"
Zhu Yeqing stabbed him with her hand: "Nanjing's order is to stand up."
Lao Xu was a little confused. How could a person like him who had never been in an officialdom know so many rules? He stood up slowly.
"Notice!"
"The North Manchurian Rangers fought against traitors for the country, promoted the power of China, and inspired the spirit of China. The heroes under their command did not care about their own safety and fought hard to kill the enemy... This is a special commendation."
At this second, Lao Xu was stupid...
Ever since Tianwang Mountain was annihilated by Zhang Zuolin, he has only seen two faces in all these years of traveling around the world. One of them showed hatred with grinning teeth, wishing for his own life, and the other one showed trembling fear, fearing that he would die in his own hands.
He had never seen enthusiastic smiling faces from outsiders, nor had he ever been truly needed by anyone.
Xu Ruifeng is like the snowflakes falling all over the sky in the cold weather this morning. Although it can unite the world, it still expresses his loneliness silently. Even after landing, he can't find himself.
So when Lao Xu got married, he naively thought it would be nice to have a family.
But, is this something that can only be achieved by having a home?
As a man, a capable man, when you see plaster flags everywhere in your own land, and when you witness the bullying of your compatriots by the little devils and can only choose to turn a blind eye, even if you have a wife and children at home, you will bring them back.
, it can only be a wilting head and drooping brain.
After all, you didn't straighten up.
It's different now.
Xu Ruifeng felt that he was with a group of people who wanted to help the backbone of China move forward. He was no longer the assassin who did not distinguish between good and evil and who dehumanized humanity. Every compliment and every smile around him seemed to dispel the pain in his heart.
Darkness, when washing away the sins planted by one's own hands...
The pride of suddenly realizing that I am 'useful' and 'of great use' arises spontaneously.
"Old Xu?"
Zhuyeqing tried to call out.
Xu Ruifeng looked back and smiled: "I'm fine."
A trace of softness flashed in Shang Kun's eyes, as if he saw himself when he was young and full of ambition, but the look was fleeting and was immediately covered with a layer of hidden color.
"Old Xu, enjoy this honor."
"This is what the country gives you."
Xu Ruifeng took the row of numbers and read the man's secret message over and over again. He looked at every kind word on it and was about to put it away cherishing it. Then he discovered something different: "Above, why?
Don’t have my name?”
Indeed, this commendation letter does not have his name on it, and there is no clear direction except for the words "Einsatzgruppe".
"This is to prevent the secret messages from being intercepted and everyone's names are deliberately hidden. After all, we are behind enemy lines and must be careful about any possibility of exposure."
Xu Ruifeng was relieved.
He slowly folded the letter and put it into his arms, and expressed his hope for the first time: "One day, we can drive the little devils out of this land with our own hands, and let the person who issued this commendation order
, you can fill in anyone’s name without any scruples.”
He said this himself. In this second, Xu Ruifeng realized how humble the requirements of a Chinese at this moment were. These most normal things turned out to be a luxury for China at this time.
And his greatest expectation is to drive away the invading enemies on his own country's soil.
"Do not worry."
Shang Kun reached out and patted Lao Xu on the arm, like an extremely upright leader, and made a solemn promise.
…
Tailor shop backyard.
The embroiderer looked at Wen Wan seriously and said without refusal: "You must go!"
Wen Wan was stunned: "What happened?"
"The Japanese have completely lost their minds. According to the news sent back by our people, after the two major incidents of Li Shaoyang and Bai Jianwu, Northern Manchuria has become the main target of 'purge' by the Japanese."
"What does Bai Jianwu have to do with me?"
"Then Li Shaoyang has nothing to do with you!"
Xiu Niang said anxiously: "During the whole Li Shaoyang incident, you were the only external translator who appeared at Qu Guang's house. Previously, the Japanese's energy was distracted by the autonomy of the five provinces. Now if they want to investigate, you don't think they can.
come out?"
Wen Wan looked at her belly: "My body... Lao Xu can't let it go."
"Take him with you."
"ah?"
In the room, the fire was burning brightly, and Xiu Niang said to Wen Wan who was sitting on the bed: "You just said that before the weather is completely cold and you can still walk on the road, you plan to go to the countryside to visit relatives and let Lao Xu protect you.
I will let you go and take this opportunity to let you two live in the countryside for a while. If there is any situation in Beiman, I will send someone to inform you at any time."
"At that time, if something happens, it will be much easier to evacuate to the mountains than to the city."
"What if Lao Xu doesn't want to? He has just become the leader, and there are a lot of things going on inside and outside the caravan."
"Then you convince him!"
The embroiderer said as if facing a formidable enemy: "Comrade Wen Wan, you must believe me, my intuition is not wrong. After these two major incidents, the Japanese will definitely take revenge wildly, and then go outside the city."
It’s really too late to withdraw. Even if you don’t think about yourself, why don’t you think about the child in your belly?”
"What about the next work in Beiman? The radio station is still in my hands..."
"Leave the rest of the things to us. Just remember that people are stronger than anything else. As long as we still have people, we have the ability to create any miracles."
Wen Wan frightened Xiu Niang into a daze, and asked at a loss: "Is it so serious?"
