When Tao Junle was working in the cafeteria, he saw that the students who were originally queuing for food suddenly became chaotic because of a sudden burst of gunfire. In order to protect themselves, they all tried to get into the food window.

The chef in the cafeteria reacted quickly, immediately closed the food window, and left the cafeteria with Tao Junle.

The ones who reacted even faster than the master chef were Aunt Qi and her son.

Almost at the moment the mother and son heard the gunshots, it was as if a switch was turned on in their bodies.

They cooperated very well and took out three backpacks and six baskets from under the table.

One of them stuffed the uncooked vegetables, meat, rice and flour into the backpack, while the other found a small basin, divided the cooked meat and vegetables into six portions, and placed them at the bottom of each basket.

He picked up a plate as a lid and put some noodles, eggs and steamed buns into the basket.

They didn't eat alone. After coming out of the cafeteria, they ran to a safe place.

Aunt Qi asked Da Kui to give the backpack and two baskets he was carrying to the master chef, and the other two baskets to Tao Junle.

Seeing that both of them declined, Aunt Qi said, "You can take them both.

If nothing happens tomorrow, the school will definitely notify us tonight to go to work as usual, and we can carry our things back then.

If something happens, it will probably be a mess for a long time.

Even if we live in the school, it is not safe to run to the cafeteria.

As the old saying goes, it is better to have it yourself than to have it from your parents.

You guys, just listen to me, we have food in our hands, and we feel at ease, right? "

So the master chef did not refuse anymore. He picked up the backpack and basket given to him by Aunt Qi and went home first.

After the master chef left, Aunt Qi said, "Xiao Lele, Aunt Qi and your master have many family members, so we need to prepare more things.

You and your sister don't eat much, and there's nothing to cook in the dormitory, so I just brought you some cooked food. If you don't have enough, come to my house...

Sigh...why, you and your sister should just go live at Auntie's house, so we can look after each other."

Tao Junle waved his hand and bowed to Aunt Qi, which meant that he refused to go over and thanked her.

Aunt Qi knew that the two sisters were stubborn, so she didn't force them. She asked Da Kui to send Tao Junle back to the dormitory first, and then the two of them would go home together. However, Tao Junle was worried that the two of them would leave too late and it would be unsafe on the road, so she refused to let them send them off.

He pushed them to leave quickly, while he walked towards the dormitory with a basket in each hand.

Seeing that the school was relatively safe, Aunt Qi and her son watched Tao Junle turn the corner, and then they quickly ran home outside the school.

Tao Junle heard all kinds of news on his way back to the dormitory from the cafeteria.

What the Northwest Army reorganized and fought back.

What happened is that Marshal Han defected to the government, betrayed his former brothers, and was retaliated against.

What's more, some people even said directly that it was the Japanese who attacked.

In short, there is anything to say.

But the gunshots that initially caused panic among the students rang out again after a half-hour pause.

This time the sound was like firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, one after another, without stopping for a long time.

When Tao Junle returned to the dormitory and heard the gunshots, he was extremely panicked.

But he was not sure where Tong Jia was now. If he went out to look for her rashly, he would probably miss Tong Jia.

So, he knelt at the side of the door, silently reciting Buddhist scriptures in his heart, praying that Tong Jia would return safely as soon as possible.

God knows how excited he was when the dormitory door rang. If his legs had not been numb from kneeling and he had not been able to stand up immediately, Tong Jia might have been knocked down by him as soon as she opened the door.

After Tao Junle calmed down, Tong Jia finally understood why he had suddenly become so dependent on her.

but……

Tong Jia said, "Le Le, when did you hear the gunshots in the cafeteria? Why didn't I hear anything at all?"

According to Tao Junle's description, he couldn't hear it the first time because he was too far away. But the second time, it rang for so long, and he was already on his way back, so how could he not hear it?

But when they thought about coming back from their autumn outing, they saw very few pedestrians along the way, and even the restaurants were closed. This spoiled the fun for the students who wanted to have a meal outside before returning to school.

Just when Tong Jia was confused, the third round of gunfire rang out.

Tong Jia walked to the door and listened attentively, trying to determine from which direction the gunshot came.

But this time the gunshots were only heard twice, followed by a loud "bang".

Tong Jia's expression changed. She glanced at Tao Junle and said, "Did it explode?"

She wanted to open the door to take a look, but Tao Junle blocked it tightly with his body.

Tong Jia was helpless and could only persuade: "Le Le, don't worry, I cherish my life very much.

The school should be safe now, but if we don't figure out what happened, even the safest place may become unsafe, and our dormitory can't be a safe house forever."

Tao Junle lowered his head and thought for a moment, then pulled Tong Jia to the pillow of his bed, took out all his savings from it, pointed to the two baskets on the table, signaled Tong Jia to put all these things into the RV, and then held Tong Jia's hand tightly.

Still feeling uneasy, she took out another scarf from the closet.

He tied his hands and Tong Jia's hands together.

That means, wherever you go, I go too. All the food and money are with you, and you're leaving me alone, just like asking me to die.

Tong Jia smiled and asked, "This scarf is not mine? When did you buy it?"

I was wondering just now how you had so little money left. It turns out you bought a scarf.

Is this a gift for me? Why didn’t you take it out earlier? "

Tao Junle wrote with his other hand: [I was planning to give this to my sister today, but I haven't had time yet.]

Tong Jia touched Tao Junle's head again and said, "Thank you for the gift. I wish it wasn't on my wrist when I first wore it."

Just as she was about to go out, she thought of something and walked to the wardrobe, desk, and low cabinet, put all the things inside into the RV, and then opened the door to go out.

When they came out, there were not many people on campus. There were only a few students like Tong Jia from the School of Arts who had just returned from the autumn outing and had not yet gone back because the dormitory was too far away.

Now he was frightened by the explosion and was standing there in a daze, still unable to recover.

At this time, a voice came from the loudspeaker on campus.

The loudspeaker said, "Students, please don't panic.

First of all, please ask students who are still on campus to return to their dormitories as soon as possible.

As for the loud noise just now, the school has already communicated with the government.

As soon as there is a result, we will explain the situation to all students as soon as possible and provide solutions.

Please go back to your dormitories and be patient."

After hearing the broadcast, the students on campus who were either standing still or looking for something to hide themselves, seemed to be turned on and immediately ran towards their dormitories.

Tong Jia and Tao Junle looked at each other and returned to the dormitory.

After closing the door and untying the scarves around their wrists, the two of them relaxed and started eating and drinking.

It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that the school's loudspeaker sounded again.

It said: "Students, after verification by the school and the government, the gunfire and explosions heard today were caused by remnants of warlords who were unwilling to accept defeat and were trying to make a comeback.

Although they are just a small number of stragglers, it will take time to kill them.

In order to ensure the safety of the majority of students, the school made two decisions.

First, take a holiday early.

Everyone can leave school on their own tomorrow. The start date of school is tentatively set for the 20th day of the first lunar month after the New Year.

Second, the school will be cleared in principle after three days.

Of course, teachers and students can temporarily stay in the school dormitories if they have nowhere else to go. However, the school cafeteria will not be open, so those who stay will need to take care of their own meals.

Finally, I wish everyone a safe return to school next year."

The students who were about to go to bed became alert because of this broadcast.

Those who live nearby would just stay up all night and pack up their things, ready to go home at dawn.

Some of those who lived far away went to the train station overnight to queue up for tickets; some planned to stay at the homes of nearby classmates for a few days; and some were so worried that they started crying.

In short, the whole campus was filled with a tense and sad atmosphere.

Tong Jia has been silent since she heard the broadcast.

It was only when Tao Junle pulled her sleeve and looked at her to ask whether the two of them were going to stay or go that she suddenly reacted.

Tong Jia stood up, made sure the dormitory door was locked from the inside, and then took Tao Junle into the RV.

Tong Jia directly pulled Tao Junle to the second floor of the RV.

She said, "Lele, I remember I bought some books by the pound before, mainly to kill time.

Those books are very diverse. Although most of them are novels, there are also books related to success, black art, and history.

Let's look for them separately. You look for the ones here, and I look for the ones there. We are mainly looking for books related to history and modern history, okay?

If you find it, put it on the bed. Wait a minute, I will tell you why you are looking for it."

Tao Junle sat down on the floor, took out all the books in the cabinet, checked them one by one, and put them back after reading them.

Tong Jia also started looking quickly.

Because those books were bought by Tong Jia in her previous life and were all in simplified Chinese, Tong Jia was faster at finding them than Tao Junle. She soon found a book called "Outline of Modern History" from a pile of books.

Tao Junle gained more than her. He found "Records of the Grand Historian", "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Five Thousand Years of Chinese History".

Although he found many history-related books, none of them were as valuable as the "Outline of Modern History" found by Tong Jia.

Tong Jia sat on the ground and studied all the contents mentioned in the "Outline of Modern History" from the May Fourth Movement to the founding of the New China, even the small print was not spared.

However, during this period, there was unrest throughout the country. If it were not something particularly outstanding or of great historical significance, it would be impossible to describe it all in the book.

However, Tong Jia still found some clues from the historical events between 1928 and 1931.

The book mentions Tianjin only twice during this period. One was in 1928 when Tianjin ended the chaos caused by warlord separatism, and the other was in November 1931 when a riot broke out in Tianjin.

Apart from this, no major events during this period mentioned Tianjin.

This discovery made Tong Jia completely relieved.

She said, "Lele, we can just stay in the dormitory without worrying about it for the time being. I don't think anything too dangerous will happen."

Tao Junle nodded and picked up the novel he hadn't finished reading and started reading it again.

Tong Jia saw it, smiled, and went downstairs to wash up.

Tao Junle loves reading, and he reads all kinds of books. Tao Junle reads the books Tong Jia buys him in order.

I often read a romance novel, then a detective novel, and then maybe several books of poetry and songs.

No matter what book it is, he always reads it with great interest, which makes Tong Jia admire him very much.

After Tong Jia finished washing up, she picked up a book and started reading.

It was almost time to leave the RV before she sat in the massage chair for a massage and urged Tao Junle to wash up.

The two had just returned to the dormitory and were about to go to bed when there was a knock on the door.

The person who came was Pei Yingxue, followed by several men who looked like servants.

When Pei Yingxue saw Tong Jia open the door, she said anxiously: "Jia Jia, my dad got the news and said there would be a fight.

He sent someone to pick me up, please come home with me.

It’s definitely safer to go to my house than to stay in the dormitory.”

That's not necessarily true. If a fight really breaks out, wealthy businessmen like Pei Yingxue's father will have to choose sides.

It’s good to make the right choice, but if you make the wrong choice... it’s better to stay in school.

These words can be said to Pei Yingxue, but not in front of Pei Yingxue's servants.

Fortunately, there was no chance of a fight this time, so Tong Jia didn't say anything more.

After rejecting Pei Yingxue's kindness, Tong Jia just closed the door and prepared to go to bed when the dormitory door was knocked again.

The person who came this time was Gao Chong.

As soon as he opened the door, Gao Chong asked, "Jia Jia, what are your plans now? Do you want to leave? Or do you want to stay?"

Tong Jia asked: "What do you mean?"

Gao Chong said: “The things you and your cousin found this afternoon are very valuable.

My cousin reported the matter truthfully to the higher-ups. We want you to take advantage of the school holidays to participate in the organization's training.

I just don’t know if you’re willing to do that, or if you’ve already made other plans.”

"Training?" Tong Jia asked in surprise.

Gao Chong nodded and said, "My cousin said you promised her to introduce you to the organization.

So I specially fought for this opportunity for you.

If you want to leave school, you can go to northern Shaanxi for training and education as arranged by your cousin.

If you don't plan to leave school, you must become a liaison for our organization in this atmosphere of white terror.

This involves some risks, so you'd better think carefully about it.

Think about it first, and I'll come see you again at this time tomorrow."

After saying this, Gao Chong ran away under the cover of night.

Because Tong Jia had a God's perspective, he knew that this was just a small conflict and that a fight would not actually break out.

But others don't know.

Tong Jia was in a dilemma as to whether to leave or stay.
