From mid-May, Chang Kaishen's Central Army took the lead in launching an offensive and made a good start for a time, but the fighting was generally in a stalemate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Because both sides are fighting with miscellaneous troops, a two-pole warlord like Shi Yousan has actually won several battles, which is enough to show how bad the vanguard of the Central Army is.

It was not until late May that the elite forces of the two sides began to come into direct contact.

The main forces of the Central Army were concentrated on the two fronts of Pinghan and Longhai, and Yan Xishan avoided the heavy and attacked the northwest of Shandong, and successively achieved good results, and the situation in Shandong developed in a direction favorable to the anti-Chiang coalition army.

As for the battlefields on other fronts, there have been back-and-forths, and they have not been able to hold each other.

This stalemate is the most tragic war of attrition, costing countless dollars and food and soldiers' lives every day, depending on who can last longer.

At the same time as the warlords were fighting, the exams began in Peking and Shanghai. A total of more than 1,600 college students, as well as aspiring young people who have already graduated, signed up for the first examination and test of the "Zhou Hexuan Study Abroad Fund".

The winners are selected for a two-month preparatory course - mainly to help international students improve their French, many of whom are fluent in English.

Racecourse Road, small western-style building.

Miss Sun brought two cups of good Longjing tea, said "Please use it slowly", and left very interestingly.

Zhou Hexuan picked up the teacup and asked with a smile: "How is the newlywed life?" ”

"It's okay." Li Shoumin said reluctantly with a smile. In fact, he had a very uncomfortable life after marriage, and the servants in this house were all invited by the Sun family. Especially the housekeeper, who belongs to Sun Zhongshan's cronies, listens to Miss Sun's orders in everything, and doesn't take Li Shoumin, his uncle, very seriously.

Li Shoumin is already looking for real estate, and he can't afford a small western-style house in the concession, but the courtyard houses in Tianjin are not a problem. Once the house is chosen, Li Shoumin will immediately move out of the small western-style building, and he doesn't want to be angry with the Sun family anymore.

Zhou Hexuan saw that Li Shoumin had something on his mind, so he didn't break it at the moment, and introduced: "Shoumin, this is your Sichuan fellow Mr. Li Yaotang." ”

Ba Jin stepped forward and shook hands and said, "Hello Mr. Li, my name is Li Yaotang, and my name is Fu Gan." ”

"Remember," Li Shoumin smiled enthusiastically, "On the day I got married, Mingcheng introduced Brother Fu Gan." Listen to your accent, is it Cheng (Harmony) Du people, right? I am a long-lived person. ”

Ba Jin said: "I have recently been reading Brother Shoumin's "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", and the writing is so immortal that it makes people feel like they have been born out of the world. ”

"I don't believe it," Li Shoumin waved his hand, "I'll just write some pastime novels, not even writers, you are the ones who write serious novels are great writers." ”

"Brother Shoumin doesn't have to be too humble, the imagination you show in martial arts novels is really admirable." Barking laughed.

Li Shoumin said: "I like to travel everywhere and visit famous mountains and rivers. Every time I go to a place, I learn about the local myths and legends, and then I am smoked by the clouds and mist in the mountains, and I can't help but think about it. ”

Ba Jin smiled: "That's a coincidence, I also like to travel, and I spend two or three months walking around every year." This is also a way for me to recuperate, my lungs are not good, I always feel uncomfortable in the big city for a long time, and I only feel refreshed when I walk around. ”

"Is lung disease serious?" Li Shoumin said with concern.

"It's almost better, and Mr. Zhou helped me hire a famous doctor two days ago." Ba Jin said.

Li Shoumin said: "I have a set of Tuna Kung Fu, which is particularly good for nourishing the lungs, so you might as well practice it." ”

"Okay." Ba Jin replied.

The two talked and talked, and gradually talked about their hometown in Sichuan.

Li Shoumin talked a lot about Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng, which are famous mountains in Sichuan and Shu. Ba Jin really didn't go to the mountains because of his poor health, and at this time he listened to Li Shoumin's wonderful speech, and he also moved the idea of traveling and climbing the mountain.

Zhou Hexuan proposed: "Let's just go to Xiangshan for a walk, I heard that the environment there is good." ”

"Okay," Li Shoumin was excited when he heard the tour of the mountains and rivers, "I have lived in Beiping and Tianjin for several years, and I have never had time to go to Xiangshan. ”

Ba Jin naturally does not object, he is also a fun-loving person, and he especially likes to call friends to walk around.

At the end of the week, everyone set off for Beiping en masse. Li Shoumin took his wife Sun Jingxun, Zhou Hexuan and Ba Jin were all single - Zhang Leyi had to take care of the children at home, Meng Xiaodong was studying opera in Beiping, and Wanrong was going to participate in the activities of the painting club. As for Liao Yaquan, Zhou Hexuan didn't tell her that she was going to travel at all, but only said that he was going to Beiping to find Meng Xiaodong.

The driver drove them to the train station, and as soon as Zhou Hexuan got off the car, he saw Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin coming in a rickshaw.

Zhou Hexuan waved at them and said, "Sicheng, Huiyin!" ”

Liang Sicheng was pleasantly surprised: "Mr. Zhou, you are also here, going to Beiping or Shenyang?" ”

"Beiping," Zhou Hexuan said, pointing to Li Shoumin and the others, "let's go to Xiangshan to play together." ”

Lin Huiyin said with a smile: "That's a coincidence, Sicheng and I are also going to Xiangshan." ”

Liang Sicheng explained: "We went to Xishan to inspect ancient buildings, and the main target this time was Biyun Temple. ”

"That's just going together," Zhou Hexuan introduced, "This is Li Shoumin, the author of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman", and this is his wife, Ms. Sun Jingxun." This is Li Yaotang, pen name Ba Jin, the author of "Perdition". ”

Lin Huiyin nodded and said hello to Li Shoumin and his wife, and then said to Ba Jin: "Mr. Li, I like your novels very much, I admire them for a long time." ”

"Ms. Lin is overrated." Ba Jin said modestly.

Lin Huiyin is also hard enough, her daughter is not yet one year old, and she suffers from lung disease, but she works hard to follow her husband everywhere, over the mountains and mountains to investigate ancient Chinese buildings.

As for the "living room of the wife's house", it was after Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin moved to Beiping to settle down. They still live in Tianjin, and the Liang family lives together, so it is inconvenient to invite someone to come to the house to hold a salon.

After everyone took the train to Beiping, they went straight to Xiangshan.

It was so coincidental that Zhou Hexuan was still at the bottom of the hillside, so he met another acquaintance.

"Classmate Ma, are you also coming to Xiangshan to play?" Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect to meet you here," Ma Jue said in surprise, and introduced his partners around him, "This is my classmates in the school's poetry club, Liu Liying, Zhao Fang, Yao Weiwei, Chen Dong, and Chen Ziya." ”

Ma Jue often wrote letters to Zhou Hexuan, all of which were to discuss some literary issues, just as she often corresponded with Lu Xun. Zhou Hexuan persuaded Ma Jue not to write novels for the time being, and instead wrote poetry, and Ma Jue really joined a club called the Star Poetry Society of Peking University.

"Oh my God, Mr. Zhou!"

"There's nothing wrong with my eyes, is there?"

"Miss Lin Huiyin is also here, did you also go to Xiangshan to collect style?"

“……”

Ma Jue's friends were already crazy, and they surrounded Zhou Hexuan and Lin Huiyin. Photos of the two of them often appear in magazines and newspapers, so they are easily recognized, while Liang Sicheng, Ba Jin and Li Shoumin are not recognized.

Well, the Xiangshan tour group has increased to 12 people at once.
