Xu Ruifeng's request to see Wen Wan was rejected, and what he got in exchange was a phone call. When Miki had someone drag the phone dozens of meters down into the ward, Xu Ruifeng seemed to have heard the voice that he had not thought of for a long time.
The moment he held the phone in his hand, Xu Ruifeng didn't even think about what to say. He didn't even know where to start. He had experienced too many things these days. He didn't know if it would be scary to say it directly.
Looking at this woman...
"Hello?"
The call had just been connected, and Xu Ruifeng could hear the cry from the pronunciation of the last half of the word "hello".
"Old Xu...ah..." The voice became more and more trembling, but it could be heard that he was trying his best to control it: "Is it Lao Xu?"
Xu Ruifeng tried his best to swallow and said: "At home..."
Wen Wan burst into tears instantly. Even though she had covered the receiver with her hand, the sound still came through.
She has experienced it before. When the Fengtian underground organization was in trouble, she experienced that kind of despair and gentleness almost every day. At this moment, she only heard about it intermittently from Dahu's mouth: "Brother-in-law and his gang are fighting with the Japanese."
He fled in a hurry, and when he received a call from Xu Ruifeng, his living condition was no longer needless to say.
"are you OK?"
Wen Wan asked cautiously, even though she knew what Xu Ruifeng was going through, she no longer knew what to say at this time.
"fine."
Lao Xu was naturally worried about her: "How are you? The little devil didn't make it difficult for you, right?"
"No, they just locked me up."
"Where are Dahu and the others?"
"I don't know, we're not together."
Wen Wan paused for a moment before continuing to ask: "Listen to Dahu..."
"It's all true."
Finally the moment that Lao Xu had been waiting for came. He had done so much just to be able to feel proud in front of Wen Wan one day.
"Dahu said, are you Lao Xu, the land gunner in Northern Manchuria?"
"it is true."
"You also said that you killed Liu Mangui, Zhang Hongyan, and Bai Jianwu?"
"And the Japanese who died in the Japanese overseas community and the Japanese who died in the mountains that night were all killed by me."
Xu Ruifeng couldn't think of a gentle expression at this moment. Maybe she should be smiling, maybe she was proud of her man, but she heard the words with her own ears: "Decent!"
These two words were heavier than the previous words, and they were more northeastern than the words she had spoken to Lao Xu in the past six months. At the same time, they made him happier than the 'commendation order' Xu Ruifeng heard in Shang Kun's mouth.
Because everything you do is worth it.
"I will still marry you in my next life."
Lao Xu smiled.
"I will give you a son."
Lao Xu laughed out loud.
This is the most straightforward and affectionate thing that Wen Wan can think of. This is the emotion of the Northeastern people. If you love, you will not only be entrusted to your life, but also to be entrusted to you for all your lifetimes.
"well."
Old Xu agreed honestly. Maybe in the eyes of others, he was a devil on the ground in Beiman, but around Wen Wan, he had always been an ordinary man.
"Not only in the next life, but also in this life."
"In this life...?"
The gentle questioning means that she already knows the seriousness of the situation. If Xu Ruifeng did all these things, then he will definitely not survive. If he cannot survive, how can the Japanese let her go?
"good."
But she still promised: "As long as I can live."
"I saw the embroiderer."
Xu Ruifeng didn't care about his woman. He still had something to say: "In the cell of the gendarmerie."
"She was arrested too?"
"Yes, when I went to our house to get the transmitter, the Japanese bumped into me. After I was arrested." Xu Ruifeng said with a smile: "We talked a lot, talking about how you were afraid of complicating me.
..." Xu Ruifeng wanted to say that the two of them had once talked about the joy of confiding the secret words of their confidants to him in a gentle way, but when the conversation changed, Xu Ruifeng was a little unhappy: "I asked you, a tiger prison girl, why are we both under the covers?
How about everything goes out?"
"Have you ever had a heart?"
A severe nasal sound accompanied by laughter appeared on the phone, as if Wen Wan was crying, which made Xu Ruifeng amused: "Okay, I understand..." Then, the woman who was about to become a mother actually started talking on the phone.
This made Lao Xu quickly turn around and glance at the room full of people, fearing that others might hear him pretending to cough.
He still couldn't forget his arrogant attitude, always feeling that being with his wife and being affectionate was not enough for a man.
Changing the topic: "Xiu Niang asked me to bring you a message. She said that you are the only sister in her life."
"Then she..."
These two words made a cry come out from the other end of the phone. Wen Wan knew without asking that Xiu Niang could no longer say this to herself, otherwise Lao Xu would not have known about the conversation between him and her. This sentence,
There is no need for anyone to convey it.
Thinking of everything in the backyard of the tailor shop, Wen Wan couldn't hide her tears and cried. She wanted to hold it back, thinking of her best side so that this man could finish the last journey of his life in peace, but
, still couldn’t hold it in.
Don't cry, don't cry.
Wen Wan didn't know how many times she told herself not to cry, but she just cheered up and said, "Old Xu."
"Do you regret marrying me?"
Xu Ruifeng adjusted the atmosphere as before and said: "Can you regret it? For fifty silver dollars, I bought back the most beautiful girl in Lianhua Township, and I have a son..."
"Seriously!"
The gentle tiger spirit was teased by Xu Ruifeng, and he shouted on the phone with his eyes wide open.
"No."
"I will never regret it forever."
…
A finger hung up the phone for Xu Ruifeng, and then Sanmu looked at Lao Xu with a smile and said: "Mr. Xu, now is it time to hand over the remaining red parties in Beiman to me?"
Xu Ruifeng was holding the phone and his whole arm began to slip away as if he had lost control. It seemed that his fingers could not hold the phone. When the phone fell to the ground with a 'pop' sound, his world was completely empty, leaving only the thing that clearly existed but never dared to go.
A line of words that touched.
This is the message that Old Yutou told him. Behind this message represents fresh life. As long as he speaks, the colorful people will instantly turn into black and white and turn into dust.
"Mr. Xu?"
Miki urged.
But at this moment, Lao Xu was thinking of a woman, a Yangma whom he met at Paramount when he didn't know Wen Wan.
It was the spring night when three hundred silver dollars were exchanged. When everything was over, they even told Xu Ruifeng a story: "The philosopher once set up such a test question, saying that there is a button in the world. If you press this button,
If you press it, one person in this world will die, but if you don't press it, thousands of people will die."
Xu Ruifeng answered very simply as a killer at that time: "Is there anything else that can be considered? Of course, press it."
The Yangma turned his head to look at Xu Ruifeng and said: "Rude, why does your world only use quantity as the criterion? Life should not be divided in this way."
At that time, Lao Xu still thought that these foreign ladies were being hypocritical. If your world is not measured by quantity, why would you need three hundred silver dollars a night? One dollar would not do?
But today, when the 30,000 resistance fighters in the mountains and the only two Red Party members in Beiman City were under this button, Lao Xu immediately understood the difference. This question is not a test of philosophy, let alone mathematics.
This is a test of the person holding the button. The test question is human nature!
