Chapter 13: Changing Guards (56)

The winter wind blows in the face, taking a boat is not enjoyable, although it is smooth, but encounters the head wind, the enemy starts from Mabu early in the morning, and arrives in Lu'an at night. Fortunately, I had contact with Zhang Guangwei before, and as soon as I arrived in Lu'an, I got on the special car sent by Zhang Guangwei to Tongcheng to pull money. In Lu'an, Zhong Ji, the commander of the 172nd Division, had prepared dinner and accommodation early, and after dinner, he refused Zhong Ji's accommodation arrangement, and Mo Di followed the 84th Army's Dadaoqi car to Tongcheng overnight. The speed of the boat is slow, the river wind is just frozen skin, and it is not yet piercing, and the speed of the car is fast, and it is night, and the power of the cold wind is fully revealed. Even if Dadaoqi was loaded with a large canvas canopy, and there were a lot of thick quilts in the carriage, he couldn't withstand the cold wind squeezed in through the cracks, and the trunk was as cold as an ice cellar, exhaling into frost. Zhang Guangwei sent two heavily armed guard squads, plus Mo Di and his two guards, to squeeze in the trunk of Dadaoqi, which was not enough to be humane with outsiders.

Because the northern Hunan railway was interrupted, from the second battle of Changsha to the present, the military supplies of the 84th Army have been in arrears for four months, because the defense area of the 84th Army is in the mall, which is at the intersection of the Red Army of the National Army and the Japanese puppet army, it is impossible to raise food and salaries by itself, and it is all allocated from above. Zhang Guangwei attached great importance to this matter, and not only sent two squads of soldiers as escorts, but also sent the quartermaster chief of the 84th Army to personally lead the team.

The quartermaster of the 84th Army was nearly 40 years old, a simple man, and a careful and reliable person. How much fiat currency, how much money is stored in the middle of the currency, how much military currency, how much Guangyang, how much Yingyang, are classified, and finally write a receipt and hand it over to Mo Di, looking like a businessman. Mo Di knew that Zhang Guangwei would not pit himself, but he also admired the style of the quartermaster, took the receipt, asked Daoqi to fill up the gas, and then prepared some food for the brothers who escorted the car, and sent it out of Nanxunmen.

After coming to Tongcheng, not only did the money in these three boxes not move, but the total assets also rose greatly. Just Sun Cheng took the guards to drive ten rounds of cards to give people a deposit, and the money he got back every month was not a small amount, after Su Tingxun came to Tongcheng, although he gave a part of the profits to the commander, the big head was always in the hands of Mo Enemy. The money spent on buying the backyard of the Zhou family, the money spent on the decoration before and after, and the expenses for preparing for the marriage did not spend this new income. At the beginning of the month, Su Tingxun, who had never seen the world, looked at the white silver in front of him, counted the figures that were several times higher than his military salary, and sighed: In the past, I had only heard that Mo Tianzong would live, but now I finally know what is going on. Without saying a word, he handed over all his guards to Sun Cheng and deployed them in a unified manner.

It is said that on December 24, the day before yesterday, he had already walked halfway back to Tongcheng, and received the news that the Japanese army had opened the curtain of war in northern Hunan and was called back by a telegram. Mo Enemy estimated that before the victory or defeat of the Xiangbei War was decided, the deputy army commander could only stay in the deep ditch.

There are no tigers in the mountains, the monkey is called the boss, and Tongcheng without Su Tingxun is the invincible Tongcheng. took a refreshing hot bath, changed into a set of clothes, Director Mo immediately became Mo Xiaokai, different from a month ago, the clothes on the body have been greatly upgraded, the three scalp shoes under the feet have been replaced by black and white pointed sheepskin shoes that have just been bought back from Shanghai, and the clothes on the body have also become a full set of woolen suits, only the wind and snow coat wrapped around the body is still the Japanese-style general, not that the enemy likes, but irreplaceable, the big thick cotton robe is not the style of the enemy, and the generals of the national army are too big, and the enemy is draped on the body, Loose and unspirited. To the Japanese army coat is suitable, the Japanese are short, Mo is considered small among the Chinese, and the Japanese are above the middle level. The national army coat is an open collar, attracting wind in winter, and the Japanese army coat is a corset collar, after buttoning up, the warmth effect is better, of course, if you want to be handsome, you can also open a few buttons on it, revealing the suit and bow tie inside, walk up, flick the hem, Peugeot is very good.

To go to West Street, Mo Di has become accustomed to walking through the city wall, going to the water gate at the exit of Tongxi, and then going up along Tongxi, and entering Zhou's house through the back door, this time is the same. Walking on the broken bricks of the city wall, Mo Enemy jumped on the bricks flexibly, like a child, with jumping skin and innocence, and was about to see his sweetheart for nearly half a month.

The back door of the Zhou family was specially designed by Modi, and the double door was made into two independent single doors by Modi, one can only be opened from the inside, and the other can only be opened from the outside. Every time Mo Enemy enters the house through the back door, he first opens the door that opens outside, and after entering the courtyard, he opens the door that opens inside and comes out, locks the door that opens outside, and then inserts the door after entering the house. Although it is a little troublesome, it is not a door, no need to wait for the door, it is convenient and arbitrary.

Enter the backyard and lock the backyard door. Because the orientation of the courtyard was changed, the front yard was changed to the back yard, and the former hall became the back hall, and the back hall was changed to the inner hall. Although this backyard is not large, there are many rooms, the main house is three, the middle is the back hall and the inner hall, two rooms on one side, from the corridor between the west side of the main house and the kitchen, and there is a wing room, the side room side by side three houses. There are currently only two of the three houses in the wing, one for each of the two brothers-in-law. There are two rooms on the west side of the main house, the old lady of the Zhou family lives in the middle, and the father and mother of Zhou live in the outside. The two rooms on the east side of the main house are the new houses of Mo Di and Zhou Shiming, one inside is a bedroom, and the other outside is a study. Because he hadn't done wine yet, Zhou Shiming hadn't moved in yet, and stayed in the empty room for a while.

As soon as Mo Di walked under the window of his parents-in-law, he heard a fierce dispute in the study of the new house, it was a sharp female voice, it should be Zhou Shiming's female classmate, in Tongcheng's land dialect: "Shiming, your new house is in the Zhou family, you are not afraid of gossip from people outside?" It was not Zhou Shiming who answered, but another girl, and this girl's voice was much calmer: "This kind of leisure doesn't need to be by classmate Ruyan, now it's a new life and a new culture, and you live in both men's and women's homes, so there's no need to divide it so finely." Chief Mo is a native of Guangxi, does he want Shiming's new house to get Guangxi before! ”

"That's not going to work either." It was the girl named Ruyan, it seemed that this girl was more serious and more serious, and said: "When the man goes to the woman's house, it is an upside-down door." ”

"Not really." I can hear that this is Zhou Shiming's voice, Zhou Shiming's voice is very distinctive, soothing and calm, just like her image, atmospheric and modest: "This yard was bought by Brother Fu, and the head of the household is Brother Fu, seriously speaking, it is not Brother Fu who put the new house in our house, but I took our family to live in Brother Fu's house." ”

"What? Is he the head of the household? Perhaps out of Ruyan's surprise, his voice became sharper, and he asked, "Didn't he buy this house for you as a dowry?" ”

"Liu Ruyan." The peaceful female voice was a little unbearable, and directly interrupted the former, and said sternly: "Let's wait and see, whether your Zhang Gongzi will give you a house as a dowry." ”

"What do you know so clearly?" Zhou Shiming said: "Brother Fu's is mine, and mine is also Brother Fu's, one person and two couples, how can there be so much between you and me." ”

Hearing this, Mo Di smiled indifferently, felt that he shouldn't listen to it anymore, walked into the wing, entered Zhou Shiming's room, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep, last night, he was too guilty in the Dodge truck, and today he is still fighting to hand over to the quartermaster of the 84th Army, which is really a little tired, at this time, as soon as the body is attached to the bed, it is no longer under his control.

When Mo Di woke up from his slumber, it was already the time of the lamp, in the small room, a kerosene lamp was lit, and inside the glass lampshade, there was a heart-shaped flame, and it was on fire, and Zhou Shiming was reading. The flame was very steady, only occasionally a light sparkle would burst out to darken the room instantly, and Zhou Shiming looked very attentive and serious, with a smile on his face, or was resonating with the content of the book.

Mo Di looked at Zhou Shiming under the lamp, like a black and white painting, the light outlined the girl's outline, long eyelashes, curved sea, and youthful face, which actually made the light reflect on the face. Hand in hand day farming, light shadow night reading, this is the life of your dreams!

Look at yourself again, not only took off the black and white three-joint leather shoes, but also took off the Japanese military coat, the bow tie was removed, the collar button of the shirt was unbuttoned, and although the suit coat was still worn on the body, all the buttons were unbuttoned. The printed quilt was covered with a body, and another familiar fragrance came out of the faint smell of the sun, which was Zhou Shiming's body fragrance. How many times, holding her by myself, greedily smelling the indescribable body fragrance, and covering the quilt that belongs to her, no wonder she fell into such a deep sleep, and slept for most of the day.

"Shiming." Unconsciously, Mo Di screamed.

"Brother Fu, you're awake." Zhou Shiming put down the book and turned his head.

"What books are you reading?" Mo Di asked.

Zhou Shiming closed the book embarrassedly, and a layer of blush suddenly appeared on his face, and said, "Essay collection." With that, he placed the book in the upper right corner of the desk, and took a few more books and pressed them on it.

"Whose collection of essays? Shen Congwen's? Mo Di asked, he remembered that when he came in before, there was a collection of Mr. Shen Congwen's essays "I Suddenly Fell in Love with You for Some Reason" on the desk, no wonder the girl in front of him was embarrassed.

"I have walked on bridges in many places, seen clouds many times, drunk many kinds of wine, but I have loved only one man of the best age." Mo Di said with a smile.

"You've read this collection of essays by Mr. Shen!" Zhou Shiming asked in surprise: "Every student in our girls' middle school has a dream, dreaming that he is Zhang Zhaohe, and he can find a love from the divine realm at the age of eighteen. ”

Mo Di lifted the quilt, sat up, and said, "Eighteen years old is the age of dreaming, and Mr. Shen Congwen is the maker of this dream." However, Mr. Shen also believes that love is not only beautiful, but also hard. He said, "If I love you, your misfortune will last as long as my life." ”

Zhou Shiming smiled, he didn't expect that Modi, a soldier born in the army, was so familiar with Shen Congwen, and she also used a few sentences from the collection of essays to answer: "Please put me on your heart like a seal, and carry me on your arm like a stamp." I chant the Song of Solomon to hope you, my good man. ”

Lifting the quilt, Mo Di stood up, and Zhou Shiming hurriedly took Mo Di's military coat and wrapped it around Mo Di. Mo Di held the hand that turned the collar for himself in his hand and recited: "Perhaps, this is the destiny of the previous life. Zhou Shiming immediately reacted, this is a sentence in the collection of essays, and he also recited it softly: "When you meet in the world, you suddenly fall in love at first sight, or suddenly fall in love with someone, because from the other party's eyes, you suddenly found a sense of déjà vu, and I don't know why I suddenly fell in love with you." ”

"Do you know why?" Mo Di asked.

Zhou Shiming shook his head and said, "I knew that you must be hungry now." ”

Mo Rang Shen was stunned, a feeling of hunger came out from the inside, I was really hungry!
