Chapter 607: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (146)
After the two got married, Su Xiangran would already call Song Chengjing "Brother Ajing", but people around them thought she was calling him "Brother Ajing".
Song Chengjing didn't call her "Xiao Ran" anymore, but used the simplest name, he called her "Peony".
Because whether it is "Xiangran" or "Yaohuang", they are both peonies.
The two of them lived in Qiucheng as husband and wife for two years. During this period, Su Xiangran would "exchange" some information useful to the revolutionary party through Boss Shao's channels.
Although she did not officially join the organization, Su Xiangran did no less than Song Chengjing.
Two years later, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and many of Qiu Chen's houses were occupied by the QZ army, including Wu Yong's butcher shop.
In fact, due to the bad situation, his business has been getting worse and worse in the past two years.
Although he also had the business of delivering vegetables to military camps, Wu Yong was actually unwilling to do this job.
It doesn’t matter whether you make money or not, the key is to be scolded by others.
This time, the shop was closed, and Wu Yong planned to leave Qiucheng and find another place to settle down.
This means that Song Chengjing might lose this reasonable undercover identity. Fortunately, at this time, news came from the organization that because an underground transportation station here was exposed, all of them must evacuate.
Therefore, Song Chengjing simply left Qiucheng with Su Xiangran and Wu Yong.
But halfway through the journey, Wu Yong once said to Song Chengjing: "Xiao Jing! How long do you think this battle will last?"
"Uncle, I can't say for sure about this!" Song Chengjing pretended to be confused and said, "I'm just a boy learning a trade from you. How can I have such knowledge and know about war?"
Wu Yong looked at him and suddenly said, "Chinese people would rather die than become slaves of a conquered nation."
Song Chengjing was slightly stunned. He knew that Wu Yong was a butcher and was naturally much braver than many people, but this man was very careful about his life.
"What frightened you?" Wu Yong thought his nephew was frightened by him, and he lost his serious expression. "I also read the handwritten posters scattered on the streets by the revolutionaries in Qiucheng. There are so many of them!
I just remember this sentence, it looks so exciting! "
"Uncle! Of course I'm scared." Song Chengjing breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be frightened, "The situation is not good now, you can't say such things."
"Yeah! I can't say it, I can't say it." Wu Yong knocked on his pipe, "It's no use saying it!"
Then they sighed and didn't continue the topic.
Before they left Qiucheng, Doctor Yao from Yong'an Hall had already closed his pharmacy and went to "join" Boss Shao.
So the three people who left Qiucheng this time were Wu Yong, Song Chengjing and Su Xiangran. Their destination was also very clear, they planned to go to Beicheng.
Not for any other reason, but because Song Chengjing had been assigned there to continue his undercover work.
Originally, Song Chengjing planned to settle Wu Yong down after arriving in Beicheng, and then start his work.
What he didn't expect was that Wu Yong would leave a letter and most of his belongings and get off the bus.
Wu Yong could not write many words, so it would be more appropriate to call it a note rather than a letter.
"My uncle has gone to the war. I will come to North City to find you later. You must live well."
There are no high-sounding principles in the book, only what Wu Yong wants to do.
"I always thought he was a person who was extremely afraid of death." Song Chengjing clenched the note in his hand, with a look of reluctance, "He has never even touched a gun, how could he..."
Su Xiangran patted her lover and comforted him softly, "But my uncle once said, 'I would rather die than be a slave of a conquered country.' Although he is just an ordinary citizen, defending the country is the responsibility engraved in the bones and blood of every Chinese."
Both of them admired Wu Yong's approach, but all they could do now was to use their own positions to gather more intelligence for their country.
Song Chengjing and Su Xiangran arrived in Beicheng a few days later, and they opened an inn here.
In this busy place, all kinds of information needed by the organization are transmitted and explored.
Su Xiangran even went to work as a nurse in a clinic in the north city under the identity of Yao Huang, and used the channels there to obtain medicines needed by the organization for comrades in the rear.
Until many years later, when North City was liberated, neither of them revealed their identities.
When Wu Yong's comrades found them with his belongings, the two men couldn't help but burst into tears.
It turned out that he had died in a battle with the GZ Army. Only a few of his comrades survived, and his last words were to come to Beicheng on his behalf to see if his nephew Zhou Jing was alive and well.
When the northern city was liberated this time, his comrade happened to be in the team. He asked his superiors to find this place based on the registered household registration information.
"It's good that you're alive." The middle-aged man was very happy. "Uncle Wu always talked about you when he was alive. He said that he passed on all his pig-killing skills to you."
"Comrades, please stay for dinner!" Song Chengjing wanted to treat the other party and let them have a good meal.
The man saluted Song Chengjing and said, "No, our army has rules and we won't take anything from the people."
Looking at these soldiers, Su Xiangran said to Song Chengjing: "Brother Jing, your choice is not wrong. They are the people's team. The new world is really coming."
