Cartilage [Republic of China]

Somewhere.

"Where do you want to go? I'll take you there." He Tianqian held her down with a gentle voice.

Zhu Ying ignored him, still trembling, "Shuierlin," she said, her voice soft and anxious.

He Tianqian beckoned to a car: "Go to Shui'erlin."

The car got low, and he put Zhu Ying on it, just about to lift his foot.Glancing at the coachman, I felt sore: "I'll give you twice the money, but I don't trust her herself."

The car didn't say anything, the two withered hands worked together, and kicked hard with the back of the foot.Gritting his teeth, he started to run, and when he was about to reach the outside of the city, the driver put down the car: "Sir, Shui'erlin is near here. I can't go there."

As soon as he spoke, He Tianqian realized that he was still a child.He patted his pocket up and down.He only took out a few dollars and said, "I only have these, so I'll give it to you."

He thanked him for taking it, and ran back with the car.He hugged Zhu Ying all the way, and he didn't feel much in the car, but when he got out of the car, he realized that it was too much.But he instinctively didn't want to let go, so so be it.He found out that Zhu Ying had a big problem, and he should wait for her to recover, so he couldn't remember such stupid things.

Walking out for about a hundred meters, a large forest spread out in front of him.There are several dilapidated wooden bridges in the middle, covered with a lot of mud.Zhu Ying pushed him and got out of his arms.Walking towards the woods against the wind, he quietly followed behind.

After walking a few steps, he realized something was wrong, took a step forward, and grabbed Zhu Ying firmly.Even if he is ignorant about a strange city, he understands it.Because on the other side of the bridge, there were several corpses lying here and there, with their hands and feet in chains. They were prisoners who were retreated by the government and had no time to take them away.

Zhu Ying ran forward crazily, kicking and kicking slipperyly, but he didn't dare to grab her too much, so she ran away far away in a trance.Hastily threw himself on a barely recognizable human form.

He was also a little curious and followed to see, the man and the bloody clothes could be seen to be of good material, and he should have been a very decent person when he was alive.

He sat there for a long time until it was getting dark.He went to pull Zhu Ying, thinking that she had fallen asleep peacefully, but when he went to see her, she was still hugging the corpse and chattering a lot.

He expected that it would be useless to talk too much, so he hugged Zhu Ying violently.But she didn't seem to feel this kind of change, she nestled quietly in his arms, lowered her head, and he tentatively asked: "Where is your home, I'll see you off."

But she didn't agree, she just lay in his arms, quietly, talking indistinctly.

Zhu Yanren was angry and anxious, his eyes and cheeks were flushed.Rubbing his shoulder with one hand, he swung the pointed end of the parasol in the direction of Yi Jiage: "Don't follow me!"

Yi Jiageben leaned on the side of the gate hinge with his arms folded, observing the thin snow that had just accumulated under his feet.Hearing his words, Fang raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and he raised his chin a little out: "Okay, let's go, don't come back when you go out."

After speaking, he lowered his arms, strode into the gate, ran to the east, then ran back to the west, and closed the gate.He pulled out a discarded iron chain from under the belly of the big yellow dog in the kennel.He slammed the door shut, tied a knot indiscriminately from the inside, and walked into the room with his hands behind his back.Just as he walked to the door, as expected, he heard someone banging on the door.

"Open the door, I want to get some clothes, it's cold!" Zhu Yanren howled while clapping.A maid ran up to open the door.Yi Jiage barked wildly inside: "No, I won't open it for him!"

"Why don't you open it, my clothes are still inside!" Zhu Yanren jumped up angrily, kicking and kicking, trying to break the iron chain with his hands.

"Why? This is my house." Yi Jiage stuck his head out from the room and confronted him from afar.

The knot was tied very skillfully, he saw that Yi Jiage just tied it randomly a few times.But he just couldn't pull it off, and Yi Jiage became happier the more he looked inside: "Don't you want to find your sister and classmate? Let her take care of you! I won't take care of you anymore."

Zhu Yanren was angry and ashamed, and kicked the door fiercely: "Damn! Who the hell is using you to raise me, and I can't live if no one raises me? What do you think of me?" gone?"

After speaking, he opened his umbrella and left angrily, walking on the road in his memory.As he walked, he sneezed frantically.Wrapping the robe tightly around his body, he didn't know how long he walked, when he looked up, he saw Liu Zhai.

Liu's father was originally an official under the Kuomintang, but he did not move out after the fall of Shanghai. It is said that it was because he had been connected to the Japanese for a long time.I want to continue to live here ostentatiously.

The Liu family is rich, and the house is well-built.Although Zhu Ci is said to be at the gunpoint of the Kuomintang, he has a lot of face in the press, so he used to go through the front door every time he came to Liu's house.Thinking like this, he passed by the main entrance and saw two bodyguards with guns in hand, so he walked to the back angrily and desolately, patted and patted again.

The old man's head poked out from inside. He held up a stick to compare the light, and found that it was Zhu Yanren who loosened his frowning eyebrows. Although his memory is not good, his eyes are still good: "Oh, it's you, you have always Some refugees who are not afraid of death knock on the door. Scared!"

"Grandpa, have you seen my sister? I just came to see sister Yiyue." Zhu Yanren stepped past him to look inside.

"Oh, don't look at it." The old man said as he stepped out from the inside and leaned against the door. Although his long-term memory is not good, his short-term memory is not bad: "The master told us, you two sisters See one and chase the other. Your sister came here in the morning and ran away after saying a few words to the young lady.

"Run away?" Zhu Yanren was in a hurry, his tone suddenly rose, and his voice was clear: "Where can she run? What did Sister Liu Yiyue say?" He was so anxious that he didn't know how to vent, and jumped up on the spot: "You let me Come in, I have to see her."

The old man hastily pressed down on him with both hands: "What are you jumping on, you can't see it, hurry up, it's really not good."

"I don't want to see it, I'm in a hurry." Zhu Yanren started to spin around when he pressed it down, and even threatened: "Will you let me in!"

The old Zhangtou also threatened him, his eyes flicked and his beard flicked: "Don't let in!"

Suddenly a gun was inserted between the two of them, and both of them took a step back in a daze.It was one of the bodyguards at the door who heard the voice and came here: "Master has ordered that I wish my family can't enter. Do you want to go by yourself, or should I invite you?"

Zhu Yanren took another step back, and stared at him fiercely: "I won't go in, let sister Liu Yiyue come out, and I'll tell her."

"Miss is not here, let's go." He tapped Zhu Yanren's shoulder and neck with the muzzle of his gun, and raised his tail.

Zhu Yanren was furious when he poked him: "What are you..." Almost as soon as he opened his mouth, the man loaded the gun.Zhu Yanren swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes were red, and he swallowed back what he hadn't finished speaking.Clenching his fists to distance himself from the muzzle of the gun, he thought, no, he has to find his sister.

He thought about turning around and leaving. The old man let out a sigh of relief and went back.Thinking back just now, he didn’t feel offended at all, but felt that this person was so weak, and when he got angry, he didn’t have any deterrent effect: “Alas” he sighed: “Now that young people are like this, can the country not end? "

Zhu Yanren didn't think so, he felt anxious, and the anger burned him layer by layer, burning him hot, feverish, and stupid.Then he sniffed a snot, wiped it with his sleeve, and continued walking, passing the houses of commercial houses, hospitals, restaurants, and slum alleys.Going further, it was the Japanese Concession, he looked at it, gritted his teeth and walked in.

Yi Jiage had a dream, I can't remember exactly what it was, it seemed like he was fighting for some porridge with someone or something else, anyway he was very hungry, tired and scared.He sat up abruptly and turned on the lamp by the bed.Looking at the watch again, it was already one o'clock in the morning.He wiped off his cold sweat, afraid that Zhu Yanren would not come back because of his ambition.

No one knocked on the iron gate all night, and asked the cook, who said that he would not eat at noon, and wandered around the yard, saying that he was looking for a way for his sister.He wondered if he had been frightened enough.

I will lie down again, but I can't sleep well.He turned over and got out of bed, put on a coat, and went downstairs in slippers.He lit a cigarette and hung it in his mouth, smoking while watching the snow falling outside.

He was very afraid of snow and it was too cold, and he couldn't find thick clothes to wear when he was a child.You can get through with bare buttocks in summer, but in winter, the clothes are so torn that they can't cover them completely.The water by the river in the Caowuzi can't freeze. If it gets wet accidentally, it will freeze on the body, and it will freeze a piece of flesh.He shook his head, throwing away this thought, it was a dream and he remembered something from his childhood again.

Putting on his coat, he put another layer on it, thinking: "Damn it, I'm going to enjoy the snow today, so I'm not afraid!" Thinking this way, he walked into the yard with his slippers on.Through a layer of snow, the cigarette butts were slowly extinguished.

The snowy night is clear and clean, but the land is covered with mud and snow here and there.It was filthy, and the smoke in my mouth didn't taste much.He threw the cigarette butt away and crushed it with the toe of his slippers.Ready to go back.As soon as he moved, he heard a rustling sound, right at the door.

He turned around neatly, hid behind a magnolia tree in the yard, and one of the slippers flew away.He poked his head out and looked out cautiously.But the moonlight outside reflected the water on the ground, splashing and splashing, both bright and clear.

But he believed in his ears and never heard it wrong.So he moved his body closer and closer to Yulan.Prepare to escape into the house as quickly as possible, and grab the gun first.he worked hard
