Chapter 174 Departure
Li Chong shook his head and did not agree with Lin's father's statement, "It's not about breaking the pot, but the Japanese have used all the means available. Facts have proved that they can't swallow our country."

"What you said is also reasonable. No matter how bad it is, it can't be too bad. It's true." Father Lin nodded. This is the officer of the Whampoa Young Talents Faction. These people have always maintained an optimistic attitude.

"Don't sit still, serve the table while it's hot." Mother Chen Yueying and Mother Lin greeted the three people at the coffee table, followed by the second brother, third sister and Uncle Xiao Tong's daughter, smelling the smell of food and chirping It was very lively.

Before the round table, there was a dazzling array of dishes, needless to say the craftsmanship of the chef of the Lin family.

Everyone enjoyed the meal, and Li Chong felt that if he ate and drank like this, he would be fattened before he reported to Liling, Hunan.

Of course, Li Chong couldn't stay at home for two days, because it was a thousand kilometers from here to Liling by land, so the commission issued by the Ninth War Zone gave Li Chong ten days to report.

But after all, he is a graduate of Whampoa, so to speak, he is a student of the Son of Heaven, and his superiors have arranged for Li Chong to be carried by a military plane to the Ninth War Zone in three days.

So in the next three days, Li Chong spent all his time with his relatives and Lin Wanru.

Prices in Chongqing City are already very expensive, but his father Li Derun, who has always been careful about budgeting, took to the streets with his mother without hesitation, and prepared luggage for Li Chong's suitcase in every detail.

On the last day before the farewell, Lin Wanru took Li Chong to Baolun Temple opposite the cross-street building in Ciqikou.

The thousand-year-old ancient temple is still very popular in this war era, and many people are willing to go to the temple to find some peace in the turbulent era.What's more, this temple was once honored by the emperor, so now many immigrants are willing to come to the temple to pray for peace of mind when they live in other places and feel panic.

Li Chong understands this state of "wandering in a foreign country and not knowing where to go, so he looks for sustenance in gods and Buddhas", but it does not mean that he believes in bodhisattvas. He believes in guns in his hands more than gods and Buddhas in the sky.

It is strange to say that everything that happens in this land of China is a man-made disaster, and there is no other way but to drive away the wolves with guns, but the dense crowd of people who come and go to the temple are willing to call for the blessings of gods and Buddhas in a pious gesture.

But if Lin Wanru wants to come, then let her come.Wearing home clothes, Li Chong seemed to be a member of the general public, otherwise it would be somewhat strange to come to such an occasion wearing a military uniform.

The steps to enter the door are very steep. The thousand-year-old temple has an antique flavor, and the steps are all in the color of the past. Perhaps it is a psychological effect. The place that has been edified by incense for thousands of years brings a soothing effect.

Lin Wanru took Li Chong's hand and walked up the steps to the Guanyin Pavilion. Some evergreen trees shaded the mountain road.

Passing under a blessing tree covered with red strings, Lin Wanru folded her hands devoutly and bowed her head.

"Well, what are we going to do in the temple?" Li Chong finally couldn't help asking.

Lin Wanru said after completing the ceremony, "The moment I left Nanjing and settled in Chongqing, I begged you for a jade pendant of Guanyin in this thousand-year-old temple. This Avalokitesvara Pavilion is up to now, today I will take it out and put it on your body."

Entering the Guanyin Pavilion, after Lin Wanru kowtowed to offer incense, a bald old monk took down a small wooden box from the altar, and the wooden sign hanging on the wooden box had Lin Wanru's name written on it.

After receiving the wooden box, she bid farewell to the old monk and walked to the steps outside the Guanyin Pavilion. Lin Wanru opened the wooden box, and a round jade pendant the size of two knuckles lay on the silk brocade.

The two stood opposite each other, and the atmosphere became sad.

Lin Wanru asked Li Chong to lower his neck, but the tacit understanding was lost, one lowered his head and the other stepped on his feet, and then their foreheads bumped into each other.

"Hiss! Why is your head so hard?" Lin Wanru cried out in pain.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I apologize for my hard head." Li Chong bent over and grinned to apologize. He tried to dispel the sadness of parting from each other in this way, but the effect was not good.

Because although this should be the second parting between me and Lin Wanru, and the first time in Nanjing, it was expected to meet.But this farewell, Li Chong doesn't know when he will be able to return to Chongqing.Because the moment you step onto the front line, it means stepping into this torrent completely.

Lin Wanru also understood this point.He raised his hand and tied the jade pendant around Li Chong's neck, and said while tying it, "I am not a believer, but I still hope to keep you safe in this way. I inquired, and the [-]st, [-]rd and [-]rd divisions are the elite of the national army. The army, the main combat force, will charge and kill the enemy in the future. I will not stop you from making contributions and serving the country faithfully, but I will always pray for you and keep you safe."

Li Chong took a deep breath, stepped forward and hugged Lin Wanru, with a thousand words in one hug.

Burying her head between Li Chong's chest, Lin Wanru said sullenly, "I am your destiny in this life. Wear this jade pendant, and I will always be by your side. Promise me, you will come back safely."

"I answer you." Li Chong let out a long breath.

After coming out of Baolun Temple and walking along the bustling roadside of Ciqikou, Lin Wanru's mood was obviously depressed.

For the first two days, Lin Wanru had been happily going to and from school carelessly, and Li Chong kept talking and laughing at Yanyan when picking her up.

However, on the third day of leave, the mental mood was already at another extreme.

Walking on the road, Li Chong held Lin Wanru's hand, "Don't be bored, it's not that I won't contact you anymore, I will write a letter."

"Then I don't ask too much, you must write to me on time every month!"

"it is good."

"."

At night, Li Chong was held back by Lin Wanru and did not go home.

The two sat on the sofa in the living room, turned off the lights, and talked while leaning against each other. The living room was reserved for the young couple, and Lin's father and Lin's mother had already gone upstairs to sleep.

Until the Lin family, apart from the night watchmen, the servants also fell asleep.Li Chong sat up from the sofa and prepared to go back.

As a result, as soon as she got up, Lin Wanru held her hand, and it seemed that Li Chong was not allowed to leave.

"Where will I sleep if I don't go back? Let me state first, I won't sleep in your room, that's not good."

After all, the two are not married at the moment, and they had different rooms before they got married. In the opinion of the older generation, Lin Wanru doesn't care, but Li Chong is unwilling to let Lin Wanru's reputation be damaged.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanru stood up, and took out the quilt from the room after a while, "Then we'll sleep on the sofa facing each other tonight."

Li Chong put the sofa together, "You can sleep on it, so that you won't fall down."

"What about you?" There were only two sofas in the living room, but now they were made into a bed.

Li Chong made a bed on the floor next to the sofa, "I'll just sleep on the floor."

Lin Wanru frowned and said, "Don't you feel it's hard to sleep on the floor? Your back hurts so much. How did you fall asleep?"

Li Chong rubbed Lin Wanru's head, "It doesn't matter if I have a lot of flesh on my back, you will only feel it if you have less flesh."

Just like that, the two of them talked without saying a word, and they didn't know when they fell asleep.

It is a sad thing to say goodbye without knowing the date of return, but this moment is still here.

In the morning of the next day, a military jeep stopped in front of Li Chong's house. After saying goodbye to everyone, Li Chong took the suitcase and got on the jeep. The sun was shining, the car started, and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
