As soon as the words came out, Ye Chen rushed out like an arrow from the string, and instantly cut the throat of the outsider, and the other three immediately pulled out
The gun, but before the trigger could be pulled, Ye Chen had already rushed in front of them, ripping through the arteries of these people.
Blood spurted out, and the four of them collapsed to the ground. In just an instant, the dungeon had completely quieted down. Ye Chen rolled out, hiding his figure, and went in room by room.
"Is there a map where the oracle bone tablets are sold?" Ye Chen felt that it was not a problem to find it, so he quickly asked San Ba, and San Ba looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
After speaking, she quickly illuminated the location of the oracle bone tablet for Ye Chen on the map in her mind, and Ye Chen rushed towards the location of the oracle bone tablet.
Junichiro Inoue had a room dedicated to antiques. Ye Chen stunned the guard with a knife and groped to the door. He took out the keys from the guard and tried them one by one. Then he opened the room and locked the door. Start quickly rummaging for Oracle tablets.
The map only indicated the location, but not the exact location, so Ye Chen was still struggling to find it. And when Ye Chen was looking for the oracle bone tablet, Lu Ming had already arrived at Junichiro Inoue's residence. Lu Ming brought someone in and asked directly, "Where's my wife?"
"Don't worry," Inoue Junichiro sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "You sit down, let's drink tea first and chat for a while."
"I have nothing to chat with you."
Lu Ming said in a cold voice: "I almost know what you want to talk about, but I have already rejected it very clearly. You are looking for someone else. It is your business to find such a traitor, but it is definitely not me."
Junichiro Inoue didn't speak, he lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "You know, I appreciate your integrity very much."
"However, as an enemy," Junichiro Inoue raised his head with a smile: "This kind of integrity is too hateful. If everyone talks to us like this without punishment, we will probably have a very difficult time doing things."
Lu Ming frowned, and Junichiro Inoue turned his head and said, "Bring the things here."
With that said, the person next to him took out a box and put it in Lu Ming's hand.
Lu Ming opened the box and saw a blood-stained hairpin inside.
It's Ye Chen's.
Lu Ming's hands were tight, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Although Ye Chen said that she was fine, and although he believed in Ye Chen's ability, everything was unexpected.
What if they gave Ye Chen special medicines? What if they have masters? If there are too many of them, Ye Chen can't win
Too many if it reverberated in Lu Ming's mind, the look in his eyes was surging, Junichiro Inoue looked at his expression and said with satisfaction: "You can think about it, every five minutes, I will bring you something from your wife. . Now it's the hairpin, wait a minute... Let's start with our fingers?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming closed the lid, but Junichiro Inoue's people were faster, and instantly drew his gun and aimed at Lu Ming.
Then Lu Ming heard footsteps. He raised his head and found that the second floor was already full of people, each with a rifle and a machine gun in their hands, facing them collectively.
Lu Ming turned his head and looked at Junichiro Inoue with a sneer: "That's how you treat your guests?"
"Mr. Lu's ability has already been learned a long time ago."
Junichiro Inoue's face was flat: "If Mr. Lu didn't have such skills, he wouldn't look down on you, and he wouldn't keep bothering you like this."
"So, is it my fault?"
There was sarcasm in Lu Ming's eyes: "You can see it, shouldn't I still laugh and be loved?"
"I can't talk about love, but you can watch the time," Junichiro Inoue looked up at the big clock: "It's three minutes. In two minutes, I'll help you bring Mrs. Lu's ring finger, how about it?"
Lu Ming didn't speak, he looked at Junichiro Inoue who was sitting far away from him.
Junichiro Inoue was indeed fully prepared, and even there were many people between them. Even if Lu Ming wanted to kidnap him, it would be very difficult.
But he underestimated Lu Ming. Lu Ming's speed was not what Junichiro Inoue thought was a "martial arts master". As Lu Ming, who had the memories of Jun Yan and others, his speed was beyond the imagination of people of this era.
It's just that the system has always been limited, and once Lu Ming showed skills that far exceeded his abilities in this era, he would be punished.
But now Lu Ming can't control what kind of punishment or not. The moment Junichiro Inoue slammed into the sofa, Lu Ming suddenly moved!
Everyone only had time to be surprised. After a phantom flashed in front of him, Lu Ming had appeared behind Junichiro Inoue, with the knife on his neck.
"Take me to Song Wanqing."
Lu Ming spoke calmly, but in fact his body seemed to be hit by a huge electric current, and the pain made people want to tremble, twitch, and scream.
666 screamed desperately: "What are you doing! Master, don't you hurt! Are you crazy!"
Lu Ming breathed softly, controlled himself, accepted the punishment from the system, and said calmly, "Quick."
Inoue Junichiro sneered: "I never accept threats, will you really kill me? Lu Ming, do you dare to kill me?"
With that said, Junichiro Inoue's men fired the first shot at the man brought by Lu Ming, Lu Ming watched the man in front of him suddenly fall down, blood splashed, and heard the man he kidnapped say: "You dare not. "
"Kill me, my people will not let you go, we will take revenge for me with the blood of your country!"
Hearing these words, Lu Ming felt a little desolate in his heart.
He knew the future and what happened, he said slowly: "If I don't kill you, will you not do this?"
"Your reasons are all just excuses. Apart from this, there are many more. You will always find reasonable reasons to cover up the crime and try to deny the crime in the future. Inoue, I am not Hong Sheng."
Hearing this, Junichiro Inoue's heart sank, and his intuition was a little bad, that is, at that moment, Lu Ming's knife cut his trachea instantly, Junichiro Inoue opened his eyes in surprise, and heard Lu Ming calmly say: " If I kill you, I will kill you, what are you going to do?"
Can kill or not kill change anything
can not.
Lu Ming knew it clearly, and when Junichiro Inoue made a short "ah" cry, all the shots were fired around!
Lu Ming shouted: "Dodge!"
Then he rolled into the corner, dragged a Japanese from the side to block him, raised his hand and shot and killed the person on the opposite side who was frantically shooting the living room with machine guns.
The people Lu Ming brought were all masters in his hands, and he quickly reacted. The sound of gunshots in the living room alerted the people around him. The Chinese working in the house on the well ran away, but the Japanese guarding was Yuanyuan. keep coming in.
Lu Ming was bloody, and after protecting his own people in a safe place, he desperately moved forward.
The warning in his body was almost at its limit, but he knew that he couldn't fall, he still had to save Ye Chen, and he still had a lot of people to protect.
He gritted his teeth and turned over the last person, and at this time, the subordinate who was hiding behind him only knew that the shooting was completely stunned.
Is that human being
Such skills, such speed, should not be human at all!
Lu Ming didn't speak, his whole body was shaking in pain.
"You go out," Lu Ming said tremblingly, "Go to Wusong Wharf... Get on the boat... Let's go!"
"Boss." One of them noticed that Lu Ming was wrong, and jumped out from behind the sofa to help him: "You..."
"Go quickly!"
Lu Ming roared loudly, and then panted, "I'm going to find the young lady, you don't need to follow me. I'm ready for the boat, you bring your brother's body, their family members and your family, and leave quickly."
With that said, Lu Ming limped towards Ye Chen's direction.
He panted low, taking every step with extreme difficulty.
This was the punishment given to him by the system. Most people would have already fallen, but he persisted and did not stop.
Ye Chen and Song Wanqing.
It was that person in his mind.
The name doesn't matter anymore, and her identity doesn't matter anymore. At this moment, Lu Ming just wanted to send her away and leave quickly.
He had never felt that the world was so dangerous, and that person had never felt so vulnerable.
But the moment he saw the hairpin, he suddenly realized that he couldn't let that person stay in Shanghai.
He leaned against the wall and walked to Ye Chen's position step by step.
Ye Chen had just found the oracle bone tablet, and he was about to run away.
As soon as the door opened, he saw Lu Ming standing at the door.
He seemed very weak, covered in blood and wounds, pale and sweating on his forehead.
He stood leaning against the wall, and when he saw her running out, he couldn't help laughing.
"I got the oracle bone tablet," Ye Chen raised his hand, raised the thing in his hand, looked at him, and frowned, "You made the sound of the gunfight just now? Are you all right? Let's hurry up..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Ming suddenly hugged her in his arms.
He hugged her tightly without saying a word.
Ye Chen suddenly couldn't say a word. She felt him shaking and heard him hoarsely: "Song Wanqing, I'm afraid."
She didn't speak. After a while, she sighed and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out."
The two quickly ran out, Ye Chen carried him and hid in an alley, bowed his head and said, "Are you not injured? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"Don't go to the hospital."
Lu Ming shook his head: "Go to the pier, I have prepared the boat, you hurry up."
"Should I go quickly?"
Ye Chen frowned. She looked at Lu Ming and didn't want to believe that Lu Ming was all right. She picked up Lu Ming and calculated the distance. It was relatively close to the Lu family villa where she used to live, so she was a little sane. The unclear Lu Ming ran towards the villa.
Lu Ming slowly passed out due to excessive energy consumption. When Ye Chen kicked the villa door open and carried him onto the bed, Lu Ming had completely fainted.
Ye Chen hurriedly stuffed him with a few Shiquan Dabao Pills—she took the name of this thing herself. According to Sanba's words, it means adding blood, life and energy. save.
After stuffing the Shiquan Dabao Pills, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against Lu Ming, feeling a little tired.
It was raining outside, and the surroundings were silent. The sound of rain and breathing mixed together. Ye Chen was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a gun in his hand. She turned her head and saw Lu Ming's face.
In the room, the light from outside was shining in, and the light was not very clear. The man was lying on the bed with a delicate face and frowning tightly.
Ye Chen thought about what happened today, if Lu Ming could come to see him, Junichiro Inoue should be dead. If a Japanese person dies, Japan will not let it go. If they can't find a person to atone for their sins, I'm afraid it will become their excuse.
They've been looking for excuses to make trouble, and it's too big a gap these days. Someone always has to fill in this hole, so that the other party has nothing to say.
Ye Chen looked at Lu Ming and felt helpless: "Okay, what are you doing to save me?"
After she finished speaking, she felt a little sour in her heart. She raised her hand to touch the other's hair and said slowly, "Lu Ming, you are a bit stupid."
He clearly knew what kind of person she was, but he still had to worry about her, he had to come to rescue her, and he had to kill people for her, causing a bloody storm.
But she couldn't blame him either.
Put yourself in the shoes, everyone is like this.
Ye Chen looked at him quietly, there was a noise outside, probably something happened.
She lowered her head and kissed Lu Ming's forehead, then went out and called Hong Sheng. It was Zhang Xi who answered the phone and said coldly, "Hong Mansion, what is your surname?"
"My name is Ye Chen, and my name is Hong Ye."
As soon as Zhang Xi heard Ye Chen's words, he immediately asked someone to call Hong Sheng, and then said anxiously, "Miss Ye, what's wrong with you? Lord Hong is…”
Before he finished speaking, Hong Sheng's voice came from the phone: "Ye Chen!"
She had never heard Hong Sheng so anxious: "What's going on?"
"Junichiro Inoue caught me, and I killed them."
"Where's Lu Ming?"
"When Lu Ming came, he was already dead."
Ye Chen spoke very calmly, and Hong Sheng was stunned for a while. After a while, he immediately said, "You hurry up, Lu Ming has prepared a boat at Wusong Pier, and there is still an hour to go."
"What do you do when I leave?"
Ye Chen's voice was calm, without the slightest panic: "When I leave, the Japanese have an excuse, they wanted to make trouble..."
"They have excuses if you don't go!"
Hong Sheng made a decisive decision: "Yesterday, their people had already clashed with the workers on our side. Ye Chen and Lu Ming were right. War is a matter of time, and patience will not change anything."
Ye Chen didn't speak. After a while, she slowly said, "But this matter always has to be resisted. It's either me or someone else. I can't let others forgive me."
"Master Hong, have the Lu family and the Song family made arrangements?"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Hong Sheng understood what Ye Chen meant, and he roared: "Ye Chen, you bastard..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Chen interrupted him: "I'll have someone send Lu Ming to Wusong Wharf now, Lord Hong, please."
After speaking, Ye Chen hung up the phone and turned to go to the room.
She looked at Lu Ming who was lying on the bed and frowned. She didn't know why, but she suddenly wanted to kiss him.
She lowered her head and kissed Lu Ming, and kissed him quietly, then got up and carried Lu Ming downstairs.
After she entered the house, she asked the maid to report to Xiang Nan. Now Xiang Nan is waiting downstairs. Seeing her come out, Xiang Nan said anxiously, "Sister..."
"Send him to Wusong Wharf, and the person who finds him, you protect him and go with him."
Ye Chen put the oracle bone tablet in Lu Ming's arms, and said calmly, "Hurry up. The boat will leave in forty-five minutes."
Ye Chen taught Lu Ming to Xiangnan's arms.
Xiang Nan nodded, and then said, "What about you?"
"Me?" Ye Chen smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, I'll catch up soon."
Xiang Nan responded and carried Lu Ming into the car.
Ye Chen watched the car drive out, took the umbrella and walked out.
"Miss," the maid called timidly, "where are you going?"
"Me?" Ye Chen laughed: "I just go out and take a walk."
After speaking, Ye Chen turned around and left.
Lu Ming was led south to Wusong Wharf. The car drove so fast that Lu Ming woke up from the bumps.
As soon as he woke up, he found that Ye Chen was not there. After seeing Xiang Nan's face, he immediately said, "Where's Song Wanqing?!"
"Sister asked me to get on the boat with you first," Xiang Nan replied immediately, "She will come over immediately."
Hearing this, Lu Ming's expression changed, and he shouted, "Go to the police station! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
"What are you doing?"
Xiang Nan was a little helpless: "You just listen to my sister..."
"She turned herself in!" Lu Ming shouted: "She has such a temper, why don't she go with us if she wants to leave? She wants to trick you into leaving with me, and take care of it all by herself!"
Xiang Nan's complexion changed, he immediately understood what Lu Ming meant, and rushed towards the police station in a single turn.
The car drove fast, splashing water, and not long after driving, Lu Ming saw a woman on the street.
She was wearing a long cheongsam, slender high heels, a parasol, and a mink fur coat.
At this time, there was no one in the alley, and she walked enchantingly and beautifully, like a poppy blooming in the night, so beautiful that it was shocking.
"parking!"
Lu Ming recognized her at a glance and stopped Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan slammed on the brakes, Ye Chen was startled by the sound and stopped.
Then she looked back with an umbrella, and saw Lu Ming who jumped out of the car.
He trotted over to her, gasping for breath.
The rain was pattering, he didn't hold an umbrella, and his body was stained with rain.
"What are you going to do?"
There was a dullness in his voice.
Ye Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "Why are you here? If you don't leave, the boat will leave."
"You don't go," Lu Ming looked at her calmly: "What am I going to do?"
Ye Chen was speechless. After a long time, she turned her head, couldn't bear to look at him, and said slowly, "It's unnecessary, Lu Ming, no matter how much you do, I don't like you."
"Since you don't like it, then you're going to kill me?!"
Lu Ming raised his voice abruptly: "I kill people and take care of you! If you want to leave, you should leave!"
Ye Chen didn't speak, she lowered her eyes, and Lu Ming took a step forward and said to her, "Look at me."
Ye Chen didn't move, Lu Ming pinched her jaw, straightened her face, and stared at her.
"You're going to die, aren't you?"
"You are going to leave me, you want me to go, you want me to go to Hong Kong, let me stay there alone for the rest of my life, and then you will fight to the death on your own land, right?!"
"No… "
"You lied to me."
Lu Ming looked into her eyes and couldn't help laughing. He felt a little mist in his eyes, and he said hoarsely, "Song Wanqing, your eyes can never deceive people."
"You can't lie to me."
"You like me, you think I have a good life, but you can't leave the country behind. You always think about doing more here, thinking about being like a soldier, shrouded in horse leather."
"Why do you think I know?"
Lu Ming blinked, tears fell, and said hoarsely, "Because, I think so too."
"I want you to go to Hong Kong, I want you to live well, and I want to do something for the country."
The righteousness of the family and the country, and the love of their children, this is the choice they always have to make.
I can't bear to let the people I love be displaced by war, but I want to fight for the rise and fall of a country until I die.
"You are my wife, Song Wanqing," Lu Ming reached out and hugged her.
The way he hugged her was so gentle, as if she shattered with a touch, as if she was his perfect dream.
"You never thought about me, it's cruel that you want to leave me alone."
Ye Chen didn't speak. She was held by him, feeling a little dazed.
She listened to the man's cry and felt the man's body tremble slightly.
Since they fell in love, he was always sad, always giving, always worrying.
Ye Chen knew that her feelings had always been like this, too calm, too rational, always thinking about planning a more rational future for the other party.
But she planned so much, but the moment this person's cry reached her heart, it suddenly collapsed.
Her heart tightened and she said hoarsely, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Lu Ming didn't speak, and listened to Ye Chen: "I won't turn myself in, the government can't give an account, and it will always find someone to exonerate. I won't die, someone else will die, I can't let someone die for me."
Lu Ming didn't know how to answer. Ye Chen was about to speak when he heard an explosion from a distance. The two suddenly looked back and saw a fire not far away.
The two of them didn't know what happened. Lu Ming and Ye Chen looked at each other and ran towards the fire. When they ran halfway, the whole city was in chaos.
Everyone didn't know what happened, only knew that they ran out of the city in a hurry. Now everyone's heart is tense, and there is chaos, and everyone panics.
Lu Ming and Ye Chen ran against the flow of people, and when they reached the general level, they heard a shout: "Ye Chen! Lu Ming!"
The two held hands and turned back, seeing Hong Sheng sticking his head out of the car.
The two rushed over together, Hong Sheng sat in the co-pilot, and immediately said, "Get in the car."
Lu Ming and Ye Chen didn't ink anything, and immediately got into the back row. Hong Sheng said with a cold face, "You're right, they are just looking for trouble, it's useless to endure it."
"Where is Lord Hong going?"
Ye Chen said quickly, "Is there anything we can use?"
"The Japanese burned down the Sanyou Industrial Club tonight, and the city is a bit chaotic now. I will first find someone to maintain order in the city, and don't start the chaos on my own. Don't think about turning yourself in. I and I The police station said that in the current situation, this matter will not be investigated again. Even if it is investigated, it can be said that you ran away. "
With that said, Hong Sheng took them to the intersection, handed the ticket to Lu Ming, and said to them both: "If you don't catch up with your own, just catch this one, you'll be leaving before dawn, get on the boat quickly, don't come back. already."
Lu Ming and Ye Chen didn't speak. After a while, Hong Sheng said anxiously, "Let's go!"
Lu Ming made a decision first. He pulled Ye Chen and jumped out of the car. Hong Sheng looked at the hands of the two people and moved his gaze to Ye Chen.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled and said with Ye Chen, "Ye Chen."
"Master Hong."
Ye Chen waited for Hong Sheng's order, but Hong Sheng said, "I think in this life, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."
Saying that, he stretched out his hand from the car window and stroked Ye Chen's face, with nostalgia in his eyes: "When you are old, you have to be the best looking old lady, so it won't be a waste of our efforts. ."
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then Hong Sheng withdrew his hand and turned his head.
The window rolled up, Hong Sheng's car quickly left, leaving Ye Chen and Lu Ming at the intersection. Lu Ming had the ticket in his hand and turned to look at Ye Chen.
"I'm not afraid of death."
Ye Chen spoke quickly and calmly said, "Lu Ming, we can die together."
"Don't!"
666 said: "Master, you still have a task! Oracle bones must always be protected and handed over to the country, that's all!"
Lu Ming ignored 666, he looked at Ye Chen, and after a long time, he smiled slowly: "But Ye Chen, I want to live with you."
"Let's live," Lu Ming said warmly, "Okay?"
Ye Chen opened his mouth and heard Lu Ming say, "Be selfish to others and be nice to me, okay?"
Ye Chen couldn't say anything for a while.
Lu Ming was right.
She always treats others better than him.
She was speechless, guilt made her bow her head, and said hoarsely, "Okay."
Ye Chen responded, and Lu Ming took her to the pier. On the way, they met Xiang Nan who had been looking for them. The two got into the car, Ye Chen was a little tired, Lu Ming asked her to sleep on his shoulder, and when Ye Chen fell asleep, Lu Ming took out the notebook from his arms and lowered his head to write something.
When the two arrived at the pier, the pier was already overcrowded. Xiang Nan helped them carry things, and Lu Ming pulled her and protected her to squeeze through the crowd.
When he squeezed to the side of the boat, Ye Chen suddenly shrank his hand, Lu Ming handed the ticket to the crew, and turned to ask her, "What's wrong?"
Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the boat, suddenly feeling a little scared, feeling that he was about to sail into an unknown future.
The rain had stopped, the sky had not yet lighted up, and there were people coming and going on the pier. Ye Chen felt that the world seemed to have a bloody mouth that would devour her. Lu Ming held her hand tightly and said gently, "Let's go."
Ye Chen turned his head, pursed his lips, suppressed all the unease in his heart, and boarded the boat with Lu Ming.
The two of them were placed in the first-class bedroom, and Xiang Nan was next door. After entering the room, Lu Ming was a little excited. , Uncle Yuan will come to meet us, do you remember Uncle Yuan?"
"Remember."
Ye Chen nodded blankly. From the glass window, he could see the fire in the distance.
The glass windows cut off the sound outside, only the running crowd and the firelight can be seen, but the glass windows are quiet and peaceful, as if they are two worlds.
Lu Ming poured water for her, squatted halfway in front of her, and said gently: "Don't look, Wanqing, we will go to a new place. Our family has already passed, and I have collected a lot of cultural relics, and I am also there. There is an industry on the side, and after the past, you will live as well and very stable as in Shanghai.”
"Don't be afraid." He handed the warm water to Ye Chen. Ye Chen lowered his head and took a sip, still a little uneasy: "Lu Ming, are we leaving like this?"
"Wan Qing," Lu Ming said with bitterness in his eyes, "Don't be so mean to me."
"I think you have a good life. Like Hong Sheng, I hope you can be so beautiful in your life, and your life will be stable and smooth. Even if you are old, you can still be a beautiful old lady."
Ye Chen didn't speak, she held the cup tightly. Lu Ming looked up at her with tenderness and hope in his eyes.
"Daughter-in-law," he suddenly called her, Ye Chen raised his head and saw that Lu Ming had water vapor in his eyes, he said hoarsely, "Do you love me?"
Ye Chen was amused by his words. She was a little embarrassed. She turned her head and didn't know why, so she was a little shy: "Why are you asking so straightforwardly?"
Lu Ming smiled and said gently, "I just want to hear it."
Ye Chen looked back at him, the sky was a little bright, the morning light fell on her face, she was a little embarrassed, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Of course I love it."
Satisfied, Lu Ming got up and kissed her: "I'll go out to see when the boat will leave, you can sleep for a while."
Ye Chen responded, and she also felt sleepy.
Before she fell asleep, thinking of Lu Ming's gentle eyes, she suddenly felt that she shouldn't be shy just now, she hadn't fully said that she loved him.
But it doesn't matter, Ye Chen's mind is getting heavier and heavier. Before she fell into a dream, she thought - when she wakes up, she will tell him.
Lu Ming walked out of the room door and waited outside.
"I gave her sleeping pills, and she will wake up in a while. She will definitely want to come back when she arrives in Hong Kong. You have to stop her."
Lu Ming slowly instructed: "When you arrive in Hong Kong, a person named Yuan Chenghe will come to meet you, you help her a little. If she wants to come back, you can use my family, her family, and other people from the past to restrain her. ."
"Brother Ming," Xiang Nan said with red eyes as he listened to his instructions, "Why don't you go together?"
Lu Ming smiled and said hoarsely, "I can't let go."
He loves this land and has the opportunity to come to this era, and he can't let it go.
After speaking, Lu Ming walked out of the cabin and got off the boat.
It was foggy on the pier that day, and the morning light fell. He watched Lu Ming leave from the south. He wore a brown windbreaker and a hat on his head. He walked forward against the flow of people and against the sun.
The fog filled his side, and he was drifting away in the torrent of the times.
That was the last time Xiangnan saw Lu Ming.
When Ye Chen woke up, the boat had already left. She got up and called Lu Ming, only to find that there was only the south. Xiang Nan said happily: "Sister, are you awake?"
"Where's Lu Ming?"
Ye Chen's intuition was not good, and Xiang Nan's face was a little ugly. She immediately stood up, and Xiang Nan grabbed her and handed the letter to her.
"This is what Brother Ming left for you. You can read it first."
Ye Chen didn't speak, she took the letter with trembling hands.
This letter was written by Lu Ming while he was in the car, and he scribbled it. Ye Chen looked down and saw his words.
Wan Qing:
You are probably on your way to Hong Kong when you see this letter.
I'm sorry I lied to you, I didn't go to Hong Kong with you. As the country rises and falls, I cannot sit in Hong Kong and sit back and watch.
I know that my strength is small, but I am a chariot. However, a country always needs someone to stand in front of the iron cavalry.
It's just that I know that this is inevitable, but I don't want this person to be you.
Over the years, I have collected a lot of cultural relics, and I also put the oracle bone inscriptions on you. These are things that are extremely important to me. I hope you can always protect them. You must wait for Hong Kong to return to the country before returning it to the country.
You and my family and friends are also in Hong Kong now. I hope you can protect them well.
Don't think about coming back to me, I'll take care of myself. I and Hong Sheng and others share our lives with each other, just to hope that the family behind him can be safe and happy. I hope he will see you again in the new year, and you can live in a prosperous world of peace, tolerance, freedom and stability. At that time, you were wearing a cheongsam, high heels, and holding a parasol to say goodbye to me. I think you must still be as beautiful as you are today.
Song Wanqing, please don't wait for me.
Lu Ming
After reading the letter, Ye Chen did not speak.
Xiang Nan was a little worried, and said slowly, "Sister?"
Ye Chen raised her head, her face was calm, and she said, "It's okay."
Xiang Nan did not dare to speak, Ye Chen calmly said: "You go out first, I will rest for a while."
Xiang Nan looked at her worriedly, but went out anyway.
After going out, Xiangnan stood at the door and heard the sound of crying inside.
However, that time, Ye Chen never cried again.
After arriving in Hong Kong, Ye Chen settled her family, took over the property prepared by Lu Ming, and then began her long wait.
She has been asking people for news from the mainland, and she goes to the pier every day to wait for people to be picked up.
She always wears a long cheongsam with bright colors, slender high heels, and a parasol, waiting at the ferry crossing, watching the pedestrians coming and going.
In those years, waves of people came to Hong Kong, and she waited year after year.
In January 1938, she waited for a familiar person, who appeared in her field of vision, wearing a blue gown, carrying a briefcase, and limping off the boat.
Ye Chen walked quickly to him and saw him clearly.
The man raised his head and saw Ye Chen, she was wearing a delicate cheongsam with green background and dyed flowers, because the sea breeze from the ferry was a little cold, so she put on a coat.
The man took off his hat and smiled.
"I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so beautiful."
"Master Hong..." Ye Chen choked up, opened his mouth, but asked, "Are you okay?"
"Oh, it's alright," Hong Sheng pointed down at his leg: "I was hit by a bullet, my leg was crippled, and Shanghai fell, so I went to Hong Kong to seek refuge."
Ye Chen calmed down, walked over, took Hong Sheng's suitcase, and his voice calmed down a little: "Master Hong is here, I should have said it earlier."
"This world is so chaotic, I can't find you, what else do you say?"
Hong Sheng said, suddenly remembered something, he took out a box from his sleeve, handed it to Ye Chen, and sighed: "I almost forgot, before I came, Lu Ming asked me to give this to you, He said it was too messy to forget."
Ye Chen didn't speak, she took the box and opened it tremblingly.
Inside was the diamond ring she and Lu Ming had picked together. It was a cloudy day, Ye Chen recalled it, it was a gray and cold color. However, only the diamond ring, when opened, overflowed with light, as if illuminating the whole world.
Hong Sheng looked at Ye Chen with pity in his eyes. He said gently, "Lu Ming also asked me to tell you, don't wait for him. If he can come back, he will come back naturally."
Ye Chen didn't speak, she took out the ring and put on her ring finger.
"Does Master Hong know where he went?"
"The last time I saw him was on December 8th, right? I was coming to Hong Kong at that time, and he drove me away. At that time, he told me..."
Hong Sheng thought for a while, frowned, then nodded and said, "Oh yes, he told me that he was going to Nanjing."
Ye Chen's hand trembled, and the ring was put on her ring finger.
The sea breeze was a little cold, and it blew the hem of her skirt, and her hair slapped on her face, causing some pain.
She raised her head, looked inland, opened her lips, but couldn't say a word.
On December 8, 1937, Lu Ming went to Nanjing.
Since then, Ye Chen has been waiting at the pier, going there every day, wearing the cheongsam and high heels that he said looked good, and waiting to become a beautiful old lady, waiting for a lifetime.
When she returned to Shanghai in 2000, Shanghai was turned upside down at that time. She watched people come and go and covered her ring finger with her hand.
She said, Lu Ming, the best time has come.
Then she went to her old site, where a new high-rise building had been built. She could no longer find her own courtyard, nor could she see the young man who dragged her in front and read poems to her at that time.
The mountains and rivers are gone, the old people are gone
She traveled all over Shanghai, and finally in an alley where she could vaguely see traces of the past, she seemed to hear someone calling her in a trance.
She turned around and seemed to see the young man, wearing a beige suit, with his hands in his trouser pockets, as if he used to wait for her every day after class when he was in school.
"Wan Qing, you are here."
Here I am, Lu Ming.

When Ye Chen opened his eyes, he was in a pure white space.
"Thirty-eight?"
She called out, and Sanba responded, "Alas!"
"How are you feeling?"
San Ba came over eating potato chips, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, she was still immersed in the emotions she had waited for so many decades,
