Chapter 253 Kill Him
Zhu Jiumei lowered her eyes, "The child is dead."
The four of them were startled, and Cheng Yaoyao asked hurriedly: "Are they the Japanese devils..."
"No, no..." Zhu Jiumei sighed, "I killed him."
She looked at the shocked expressions of the four people and said slowly, "I originally thought that when we arrived in the northern territory, my son and I would start a new life and our days would become more and more promising.
I worked everywhere, as a servant for wealthy families, and did some manual work when I came home at night.
I thought, since I have escaped from such a difficult situation, nothing in this world can defeat me.
I raised the child. He was not stupid. He grew up strong and chubby. He was very likable when he was a child.
I sent him to a private school when he was ten years old. The little money our family had saved was used to pay for his tuition and buy books and writing materials.
I'm not asking him to succeed, nor do I expect him to lead me a good life in the future. I've been through so many things, and I've seen things clearly.
In this world, you can’t get ahead just by working hard and having ability.
The son of the head of the police station skipped classes every day, but he was ranked first in the class. Why? Isn't it because his family has power?
The son of a landlord was so stupid that he wet his pants when he was a teenager, but he was ranked second in the class. Why? Isn't it because his family is rich?
My son is just the son of a female worker. I don’t ask him to be better than others. I just hope that he can read and write and understand things, and not be blind like me.
But...but he was too smart. He was so smart that he learned to change with the times and abandon the light for the dark.
He...he became a traitor..."
When Zhu Jiumei said this, she couldn't help but lower her head and shook her head with a bitter smile, "I, Zhu Jiumei, have lived an unyielding and upright life, and my son turned out to be a traitor?
Haha, God is really playing a huge joke on me!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "He is determined to be the running dog of the Japanese devils, how can I tolerate him?
I don't want him to harm his compatriots. I will solve the troubles I caused myself.
I also cooked him a meal, half a bowl of noodles with some toppings, and sent him on his way.”
When she said this, I don’t know what she was thinking about, but there was still a layer of mist in her eyes.
“That was two years ago.
Not long after, people from the county came and called on the village to form a guerrilla force. They found me first, and I became the guerrilla leader.
What happened next was meeting you guys. I think if I go with you guys, it will be a new beginning.”
After talking for so long, the half candle lit in the room just burned out, and the room was dark.
No one spoke, and the room was silent for a long time.
Zhu Jiumei touched the kang in the dark and found it was not so hot anymore, so it should be time to sleep.
She spread the bedding silently, and suddenly heard Luo Jiu say: "I want to tell you that your suffering ends here.
But I think you probably won't believe this.
Whether the future will be hard or not is probably not that important to you.
You already have the ability to overcome suffering and will no longer be afraid of any difficulties.
You are as strong as the mountains, and as perseverant as the climbers.
You have climbed over one mountain of fire after another in life, what else can stop you?"
Luo Jiu patted her back gently, "Jiu Mei, let the past be the past. From now on, we will look forward together.
You see, in such a dark night, the candles are out, but the moonlight is still shining on us.
There is always a way out. No matter how difficult the road is, we will walk with you. "
Zhu Jiumei turned her head and saw the four people's red and swollen eyes. The bright moon was hanging high in the sky. She held their warm hands tightly and said, "Okay."
The next morning, everyone had a bowl of porridge and prepared to set off.
Zhu Jiumei asked Shuisheng to take care of the yard, and Luo Jiu and others helped her clean up the house inside and out.
Luo Jiu said: "Who did you borrow this steamed bread from? Give it back to them. You can give the remaining rice and flour to Shuisheng or other familiar neighbors. We will not take it away. We have everything in the base."
Zhu Jiumei was stunned when she heard her repeated instructions.
Luo Jiu: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Jiumei smiled and said, "Sometimes I really feel like we have known each other before. This feeling seems very familiar."
She went out with a smile, but Luo Jiu suddenly thought: Could it be that different time and space can also have a weak influence? Like quantum entanglement?
Feng Qi finished filling up the car with gas and came in to touch the dazed Luo Jiu. "What are you thinking about?"
“I’m thinking about quantum entanglement.”
Feng Qi: "Petition? Who pestered Ninth Sister? A hooligan?"
Luo Jiu chuckled, "Let's go."
Zhu Jiumei took one last look at the dilapidated courtyard, got on the car, and headed straight for Taicheng.
*
Fubao heard from his grandmother that they would arrive at noon, and she had been waiting at the city gate before ten o'clock.
The soldiers passing by kept coming over to salute her and looked at her with extremely admiring eyes.
In the eyes of these people, she is a god-like figure on the battlefield, brave, mighty and invincible.
But Fubao's heart is like a little child at this moment. In the previous time and space, Jiumei was eight years older than her, but Fubao had been learning martial arts and attending classes with them since childhood. Later, they went through life and death together, just like sisters.
Fubao paced back and forth at the city gate, as if he was waiting to meet an old friend after a long separation, feeling both nervous and excited.
Zhong Jialing was driving and saw her from a distance.
She honked the horn and Fubao immediately strode over.
Zhu Jiumei looked at everything here with curiosity, and saw a young military officer with a cute face and an upright figure opening the car door and looking inside excitedly, as if he was looking for someone.
Zhu Jiumei held her bundle and looked up at Fubao with admiration. She was the first to speak: "Is this the legendary General Fu?"
Fubao was stunned. Seeing Luo Jiu nodded slightly to her, her heart trembled suddenly and her throat seemed to be blocked by something.
She tried her best to control her emotions, looked at the familiar face, and answered with difficulty: "Yes, I am."
After saying this, Fubao took a few steps back and quickly turned his back.
Luo Jiu hurriedly said: "You take Jiu Mei to settle down first, Fu Bao and I will go to the base to take a look."
She got out of the car and patted Fubao's back gently. "The car has gone far away. You can cry if you want."
Fu Bao turned around and hugged Luo Jiu, crying loudly, "How did she become like this? Is she not living a good life?"
Luo Jiu sighed, combed her hair with his fingertips, and coaxed her softly: “The world is in chaos, and ordinary people have a hard time.
Fortunately, she survived and we can see her again.
If we think in this way, our war to liberate the country will be more meaningful.
As long as we win, the lives of our compatriots, whether we know them or not, will be better. "
Fubao cried and nodded in her arms. Luo Jiu wiped her tears and said, "Let's go and take a look at the base."
As soon as the two arrived at the Red Army’s station, Lin Feng, the commander-in-chief of the Red Army’s Third Army, strode out and said, “Comrade Luo Jiu, I was just about to look for you. Come and have a look.”
