Finally understood what it means to be heart-wrenching Zhuyeqing... risking her life, she rushed to the sofa, and took out the pistol that had been hidden there from the gap of the sofa without hesitation. When she turned around and raised it...
boom.
What rang in my ears was the sound of someone else's gunfire.
The gun was fired by Miyamoto, and the muzzle of his Southern Type 14 gun was still smoking. But the moment Zhuyeqing was hit by the bullet in the arm, he threw away the gun.
"hahahahahahahahahaha……"
Miyamoto was smiling. It was as if he had anticipated everything that was happening in front of him. Otherwise, how could he be so confident about defeating the psychological defense of the anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements in front of him?
Zhu Yeqing was already standing on the cliff that was about to collapse. The most hateful thing was that her mother was standing behind her.
That woman...
she……
In her life, she has never known what feelings of family and country are. Ever since she married her father, she has been focusing on the courtyard with only two rooms. Zhu Yeqing still remembers the way her mother was beaten when she was a child because she did not follow her father's wishes.
, at that moment, she was probably squatting on the edge of the well in the small courtyard in the sun, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile as if she was afraid of scaring Zhu Yeqing.
"Why don't you leave?"
The young Zhu Yeqing asked this question.
The mother was stunned and asked in shabby clothes: "Where are you going?"
Zhu Yeqing also answered matter-of-factly: "You can go anywhere, it's better than being beaten at home."
For a little girl, there is no place in the vast world outside, so why live with a useless drunkard.
However, for a woman who has long understood the ups and downs of life and the coldness of the world, the fear outside is far greater than the known harm at home, because the rumors after leaving will hurt her parents' family, and the unknown when leaving will make people feel fear.
What's more important is that in the minds of women in this era, they always have the ideological framework that "when a couple fights, it's at the head of the bed or at the end of the bed. Who's woman hasn't been beaten by her husband?"
At that time, Zhu Yeqing clearly remembered that his mother glanced at the sky outside and said something that later became a mantra: "Let's just get by."
She had fantasies about the outside world, Zhuyeqing was sure of this.
Even on the day when my father drank too much and died, my mother's face didn't seem to be filled with grief, but more of relief.
From then on, the widow put all her hopes on Zhuyeqing and saved her money to send her to a girls' school. She even steamed a bowl of egg custard during the Chinese New Year after Zhuyeqing had eaten.
Dip the steamed bun into the bowl and taste it.
Zhuyeqing wanted to tell her mother sensibly: "Actually, I don't need to eat a whole bowl."
But every time before she opened her mouth, she always looked at the happy expression on her mother's face and hesitated to speak.
My mother has regarded her life as a new beginning for her. Who is willing to destroy the illusion at this time?
This woman has been bullied all her life. The guy she was supposed to call grandpa only cared about her son and ignored her. After getting married, she also met an alcoholic who didn't know how to care for others. Now, now
After the drunkard died, what Zhuye Qing saw was the accusations from the neighbors, "calling her a coward", the bullying from the gangsters, and the phrase "just muddle along" that was often mentioned on his lips.
This is the reason why Zhu Yeqing worked hard to make progress after going to school. She not only hopes to save this country from the fire, but also hopes to personally destroy the obsession that has long been ingrained in the hearts of ordinary people like her mother.
What does it mean for a woman to be virtuous if she has no talent?
What does it mean for a husband to guide his wife?
What is ethics and which is morality?
Why should a woman who has been cautious all her life live such a miserable life!
When the people in Nanjing fell in love with Zhuyeqing, who was attending a girls' school, the superior said: "We need you to go to Shanghai to perform a mission, but this mission is likely to destroy a woman's innocence. You will appear as a social butterfly."
On the beach in Shanghai..." At that moment, all that was left in Zhuyeqing's eyes was the determination to look back.
She finally waited for such an opportunity, finally.
What now?
His mother was right in front of him, and it was just a matter of opening his mouth to save her... But what was ruined was probably the opportunity for thousands of Chinese people to wake up completely. What if, what if, in Li
Shaoyang, Shang Kun, Xu Ruifeng and so many others came after me, but the only difference was my own insignificant efforts and sacrifices!
"Aren't you going to say it yet?"
Miyamoto looked at Zhuye Qing with a twisted face, a look of perverted madness on his face.
"Are you sure that the country you protect with your life also loves you?"
"Then why didn't anyone show up when you suffered so much for it?"
"Why didn't anyone come to save you?!"
Miyamoto Mingzhe loudly questioned and tempted: "Zhuye Qing, don't you hope to save your mother at all?"
"We have caught your 'sir'. Even if you don't say anything, it won't be long before the gendarmerie and the Special High School will get the list of people lurking in Northern Manchuria from Nanjing. Your stubbornness will not only bring trouble to yourself and your mother.
Can his life make any difference to the situation in Northern Manchuria?!"
Of course...can't.
How could a woman as smart as Zhuye Qing not know this answer?
But when she saw her mother lying on the ground looking at her with a pale face, she suddenly smiled at the elderly woman just like her mother who was afraid of being frightened after being beaten.
"Mom, did I scare you?" She used all her strength for this smile.
"Child!"
Xu Guizhi lay on the ground and cried bitterly. He lowered his head to the ground with complicated emotions, buried his head and trembled, trying not to show his crying.
"Mom, when I was still in school, I told you that this country was over. Do you still remember what you told me? You said, 'Just muddle along';"
"Later I told you, 'I'm leaving Beiman,' and you got angry at me, saying that the most important thing for a woman is to keep her duty, but I still left secretly. My child is unfilial;"
"After returning to Northern Manchuria, I went to visit you secretly. My neighbor said that for so many years you would ask everyone who went to Shanghai to help find 'Xiao Mei', no matter how much money they asked you to ask.
Even if you give it, everyone around you will laugh at you for being stupid."
Tears slowly escaped from the corners of his eyes and fell down his cheekbones. Zhuyeqing asked: "Do you believe me now?"
"If I muddle along, my life won't be half better than yours. I will still live by the same old principles and marry a man who thinks he can beat me and scold me according to his mood. When I come back, I won't even be able to tell you all this.
I feel like I’m causing trouble to my mother-in-law’s family.”
"Oh my god, muddling along won't save this country."
"Muddling along will only ruin your life and mine."
"Nowadays, many people are full of lofty ideals and want to build a brand new country. There, there will be no muddling along, no men will beat themselves and women will take it for granted, and even women can appear in important positions and be able to
Completely own your own ideals.”
"Do you believe it?"
"Bamboo leaves are green!" Miyamoto Akito shouted loudly.
Xu Guizhi raised her head and stopped her with tears in her eyes: "Girl, stop talking. I beg you, okay?"
Zhuye Qing was still laughing, as if she hadn't heard a word of those words: "Mom, the road we are going to take is difficult and requires many people to make completely unimaginable sacrifices. It may be the body that is sacrificed, it is possible that the person is sacrificed.
You may sacrifice your life, or you may sacrifice your loved ones.”
"It's just that we can't have even the slightest idea of muddling along. If it's even a little bit, this country will not appear. If it's even a little bit worse, it won't be able to achieve perfection."
"Mom, if there is a next life, we will be mother and daughter in that country. I will be your mother, so that you can pay back all the anger you have suffered in this life in a way that I simply cannot understand..."
"idiot!"
Miyamoto Mingtetsu roared and raised his bayonet, but Zhuyeqing gritted his teeth and lost his smile: "Little devil, you don't have to scare me. Today, your grandma is willing to use the lives of her entire family to hinder your progress in winning this victory, even if it only takes
One second!”
Zhuyeqing turned her head and looked out the window. She wanted to see the moonlight and feel the tenderness of the last moments of her life.
but……
The figure that appeared outside the window stunned her.
It's Shang Kun.
"Thank you."
This was what Miyamoto Mingzhe couldn't understand the most at the last moment. When he raised his head and followed the woman's line of sight, he saw a man outside the window who was ready to drop a bomb and was trying his best to drop the bomb in his hand.
Something was thrown into the room along the glass window - bang!
The glass window shattered, and as a large piece of glass fell, a Soviet grenade flew into the room.
"withdraw!"
Miyamoto Mingtetsu opened the office door with a strange cry. Zhuyeqing slowly stood up as the grenade bounced after it landed. With the sound of explosions beside her ears, she seemed to have entered a hallucination, and everything around her was slowed down.
The explosion is slow.
Zhuyeqing can walk towards her mother when the fire is rising into the sky.
The impact is slower.
She was able to hold this old woman in her arms at the moment when the room in her office was blown up by a grenade.
The blown wood chips flew slower in the air.
It was so slow that Zhuyeqing had no time to say something in her mother's ear: "Mom, I love you."
This is a sentence that Chinese people are ashamed to say. If Zhu Yeqing had never been to Shanghai, if she had not experienced the last moment of her life, these words would never have been uttered, never.
boom!
There was an explosion and everything returned to normal speed.
