Several times in dreams

Chapter 26 Here Comes the Devil
Back at Chen's house, the young couple told Chen Zhizhou what the elder brother said at the wine table. Chen Zhizhou stroked his beard and remained silent for a long time, then said four words lightly: "I see," and said nothing else.

Wanying Wenjun didn't know what master Chen was planning, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she went back to her room early to rest.

"What if little Japan comes? I heard that they murdered and set fire to women," Wanying couldn't sleep, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"Don't be afraid, there is me, if you dare to mess around, I will beat them to death!" Wen Jun boasted, taking advantage of the opportunity to hold Wanying in his arms.

"Why don't you go and hide in the mountains of my uncle's house? There are caves everywhere, and it's hard for the Japanese to find them if they don't know the terrain?" Wanying said again.

"Hurry up and pull it down, when the time comes, Little Japan will still have to look for it? Just fire the artillery, and any cave will be blown up for you!"

Wen Jun seemed to be very knowledgeable, but Wanying was immediately deflated after hearing this, and the two stopped talking.

For two consecutive nights, Wen Jun heard the sound of "click, click" in the backyard, but it disappeared after listening carefully.

He wondered if there would be no badgers in this cold winter, could it be a fox?He pushed Wanying and told her that there seemed to be foxes in the yard.

Wanying was sleeping soundly, and said vaguely, you must be dreaming about a vixen.

On the third day, Wen Jun woke Wanying up, and whispered in her ear, "I just went out to look quietly. It was our father and mother who buried things in the backyard."

"What?" Wanying woke up suddenly, and sat up, "Buy what?"

"It's probably because the gold and silver are soft. I didn't dare to look closely, but I saw that a small jar was buried very deep. Then my mother kept taking things out of the room and put them all in the jar! It lasted three days. Buried." Wen Jun whispered.

"It seems that the Japanese is really coming! Wen Jun, I'm afraid!" Wanying shivered, and Wen Jun quickly hugged her into his arms. The two of them had a lot of preoccupations all night and couldn't sleep well.

"Mother! Mother!" Wanlan shouted all the way, running into the yard, "What's wrong?" Li Mengxian hurriedly stood up to greet her out of the room.

"Mother! It's terrible, the Japanese troops have entered the city. Last night, Lu Shenggong ran away all night. My elder brother told us to go home and hide. I heard... I heard that the county magistrate Liang went to the city with a white flag. Welcome to Little Japan at the door!"

Wan Lan was out of breath, she was beating her chest while talking.

Li Mengxian trembled, and the needle and thread in her hand fell to the ground.

"Don't panic...don't panic, get in the house!" She knelt down to pick up the needle and thread, dragged Wan Lan into the house, and closed the door tightly.

Meng Xianjun finished the work of evacuating the students from the school, and hurried back to the Meng Mansion.

There were only old and weak women and children left in the house. Qinghong was only over one year old, and was so scared by the sound of guns outside that he cried. Zhang Lingyu hugged the child and curled up in the corner of the bed, trembling all over.

Here to appease his wife and children, Meng Xianjun hurried to his mother's room and saw He was weeping over Meng Zhaoxuan who was unconscious, with a knife and scissors beside him.

Seeing his son coming in, he burst into tears: "Son, mother thought I would never see you again! You see that your father is about to die, I have made up my mind, if the Japanese break in, I will kill you If you hurt your neck, let's go with your father!"

"Mother, don't say such frustrating words, it's not going to this point." Meng Xianjun quickly helped Mrs. He to sit down.

"Mr. Xian, your parents are getting old, so it doesn't matter what you do, it's just Lingyu and the child... Qinghong is still young, so why don't you leave a queen for our old Meng's family? Think of a way to get them You two have to hide it!"

"Where can I hide? Shanghai and Nanjing have already fallen, and the whole country is devastated. It really can't be done, I can only fight with Little Japan!"

Meng Xianjun gritted his teeth and said, a murderous look suddenly flashed in his eyes!
He Jinlian stared blankly at her son, then began to cry in despair.

"Sister-in-law, don't cry anymore, there is no unparalleled road, our old Meng's family is saved!"

Before the words were finished, Meng Zhaokun came in with a happy face, followed by a proud Liu Shi.

"Third brother, you are..."

"Third Uncle." Meng Xianjun looked at Meng Zhaokun suspiciously.

"Oh, it's such a desperate situation, sister-in-law, you used to complain all day long that I was not doing my job properly, and made some good friends. Take a look, this Qin Hui still has three friends. Guess what?"

"My brother, Lu Yinxian, the third son of Lu Laoyuan, is now the president of the maintenance association appointed by the imperial army. My brother is so loyal, he immediately promoted me to be the vice president!"

Meng Zhaokun was full of ambition, "Sister-in-law, Mr. Xian, don't worry, with me here, our Meng family will be safe and sound!"

"Third uncle, you! Aren't you a traitor!"

Meng Xianjun stood up abruptly, he knew Lu Yinxian, the well-known prodigal son of the Lu family, Meng Zhaokun had been hanging out with him since he was young, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, not doing business properly, committing all sorts of crimes.

"Xianchen is still fighting devils on the front line, how can you..."

"Shhhhhh..." Meng Zhaokun was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said in a low voice, "I reported in the newspaper this morning that I severed the father-son relationship with him. I can't let the imperial army know about it. Besides, the county magistrate Liang Speaking of anti-Japanese and anti-Japanese, didn’t you go to the gate of the city to meet the prince with a white flag early this morning?”

"Can Magistrate Liang be the same as you? He has already arranged for the people and hid important cultural relics and documents. He endured the humiliation for the lives of the people in the city and to prevent the city from being slaughtered by the devils. If Han Fuju hadn't run away, how could Can be reduced to this point!"

Meng Xianjun was filled with righteous indignation, his eyes were about to burst into flames.

"Let's just say, the national army has run away, and Lu Shenggong has also run away. He, County Magistrate Liang, is called to endure humiliation, and your third uncle and I cannot be called traitors!" Meng Zhaokun refused to let go.

"Okay, okay! Mr. Xian, your third uncle is also for our whole Meng family, so please don't say a few words, third brother, what are we going to do now? Can the Japanese barge in and harm us? "

He showed flattery that he had never seen before, and approached Meng Zhaokun with a smile.

This made Liu Liping feel extremely at ease. She felt elated like never before, and immediately put on the style of maintaining the president's wife, squinting down from the corner of her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, President Lu said that the gates of our officials' houses are unified. Put up the signboard of Shengfu branch, the imperial army will treat you preferentially, don’t make such a fuss, it will make people laugh!”

Meng Xianjun couldn't listen anymore, and walked away.

Before Meng Zhaokun left, he glanced at his elder brother Meng Zhaoxuan who was bedridden, and said meaningfully: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, if anything happens to elder brother, there is me in this Meng family, as long as Mr. Xian doesn't make trouble, I will I will take care of the whole family!"

After talking, Meng Zhaokun and his wife walked away triumphantly, leaving only the anxious He and Meng Zhaoxuan who didn't know it.

In the evening, the signboard of the branch of the Shengfu was hung on the gate of Meng's house. When several of the family members heard about this, they all begged Meng Zhaokun with shame, and asked for the signboard to be hung on the mansion.

For a while, Meng Zhaokun was so full of ambition that he felt like he had become the head of the clan when he walked in the mansion.

Naturally, Li Mengxian also asked for a piece, and sent someone to secretly send it to the Chen family. She was worried that there would be no one to protect Wanying outside. .

Here, Meng Wanlan is relentless, saying that her mother is the third uncle's accomplice, bent for five buckets of rice, has no national integrity, and threatened to go outside the city to find guerrillas and join them to fight devils, scaring Li Mengxian so much that she covered her mouth .

Meng Xianlun said quietly: "Little girl doesn't know how to live and die in movies. Let me tell you, I heard at the police station today that the Japanese passed through Xiaogang Village a few days ago and were ambushed by guerrillas. , killed several guerrillas, and captured a female member, directly ruined it, and finally hanged her naked!"

"Don't scare Wanlan! She's still young!"

Xu Wanqiu hit Meng Xianlun once, and whispered: "Fourth sister, don't be afraid, that's right, no one wants to be a subjugated slave. You are still young, and many people are doing anti-Japanese things. Your task is to study hard and grow up. In the future, there will be opportunities to serve the country! Our country will not always be like this, and will become stronger!"

Wan Lan remained silent, pondering what the second sister-in-law said, and then heard the sound of the door being smashed outside, "Open the door quickly! The imperial army inspected it!"
