Several times in dreams

Chapter 68 The Library

Meng Xianjun has observed Gu Yanzhi for a long time.

This young man is thin and thin, but he seems to have endless energy all day long.

He will be graduating next year, and there are many courses, but he still insists on going to the library every day after school to help Meng Xianjun sort out the books.

When there is nothing to do, he will also take a book, lean on the window frame next to the bookshelf, and observe while watching. If someone comes to return the book, wait for Meng Xianjun to register, and quickly go over and put the book back to its original place .

If a student asked Meng Xianjun where a certain book was kept, Gu Yanzhi would show up in time and lead him to a certain bookshelf to find the book.

Meng Xianjun looked at Gu Yanzhi with admiration. He heard that he came to study from Meng Guzi Township and transferred from another school after passing the exam last year.

Due to his poor family background, Gu Yanzhi often did not have enough to eat. Gu Yanzhi had a thin body and sunken cheeks, which made his eyes look black and white and radiant.

After a long time, the two became acquainted, and Gu Yanzhi often chatted with Meng Xianjun when no one was around.

It turned out that Gu Yanzhi was really a poor child. His parents were both killed in the devil's raid a few years ago. He was only 12 years old at the time. He escaped the disaster at his aunt's house in the neighboring village that day, and he was later adopted by his aunt.

Last year, my uncle brought my aunt to live in the Holy City, and Gu Yanzhi immediately entered Meng Xianjun's school.

"My uncle is a Communist Party." Gu Yanzhi suddenly whispered without warning.

Meng Xianjun was pleasantly surprised. Out of years of experience and caution, he did not show it, and even did not respond very coldly.

Gu Yanzhi was obviously very disappointed. Just at this time, a few students who borrowed books came in, and the conversation was interrupted in time.

Later, several times Gu Yanzhi showed strong political inclinations, and often scolded the corruption of the national army in front of Meng Xianjun, which made Meng Xianjun feel weird.

"Young people, don't talk about state affairs indiscriminately. You will graduate next year, so you should focus on your studies."

Meng Xianjun often answered irrelevant questions, and he always used this sentence to answer Gu Yanzhi's aggressive questions.

In the following period of time, Gu Yanzhi became much quieter, and he continued to work diligently every day, burying his head in reading when he had free time, making Meng Xianjun often ask himself whether he had treated this young man too coldly.

In April, Wen Jun came back from the countryside, bringing some fresh shepherd's purse and mother-in-law Dingcha freshly baked by the tenant.

Meng Wanying thought about sending some to her elder brother, and asked him to take it back to her natal family to try it out. The elder brother's school is right in front of her in-law's house. After all, it is too late to go back to her natal family.

Originally, Wen Jun was going to be with her, but Wanying felt that he had just returned from the countryside, needless to say he had worked hard, so she had better rest at home.

Life is relatively peaceful now, and this pregnancy is very smooth, and she is due to give birth in less than two months. Wanying also wants to be more active, so she asks Wen Jing to help her carry things and accompany her to school.

The uncle and sister-in-law walked along the way, the spring breeze was blowing, the weather was pleasant, and the streets were full of people coming and going, so it was very lively.

Passing by the teahouse, Meng Wanying felt a little thirsty, so Wen Jing went in and ordered a pot of bamboo leaf green tea, and the two of them sat outside the door under the shade of a tree to rest for a while.

While drinking tea, I heard someone whisper behind me, "Meng Xianjun is very cunning, no matter how I try to trick him, he won't answer, so I don't dare to act rashly now, for fear that he will become suspicious."

Meng Wanying was stunned for a moment, but she didn't turn her head. She looked up at Wen Jing on the opposite side, and found that Wen Jing was also looking at her.

After paying for the tea, the two took their things and walked quickly to the school.

When they arrived at school and met Meng Xianjun, Meng Wanying first told her elder brother what she had heard and asked him to be more careful, and then Wen Jing described the appearance of that man.

"Brother, that person is very thin. There are pits on his thin face. His appearance is hard to describe and he has no special features, but his two eyes are very big and very energetic."

Wen Jing described while thinking, "But he seems to have glanced at me."

Meng Xianjun pondered for a while, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind.

"No, this person is likely to be a student of mine, so go away quickly and don't let him see you."

Meng Xianjun sent them out through a convenient door at the back of the library, and when he came back, he hurriedly stuffed the things Wanying sent into his cloth bag and hid them.

When Gu Yanzhi came in, Meng Xianjun was flipping through the notebook as if nothing had happened.

"Hello, Teacher Meng!" Gu Yanzhi greeted him politely.

"Xiao Gu, hello, thank you for your hard work!"

Before the students who borrowed books arrived in large numbers, Gu Yanzhi hurriedly cleaned up and tidied up the bookshelves, sweating all over his head.

Gu Yanzhi didn't care about wiping his sweat, he wanted to finish his work quickly, and when the person who borrowed and returned the books came, he still had other work to do.

After finishing the last row of cabinets, Gu Yanzhi raised his sleeves and was about to wipe his sweat when he saw a hand being handed over to him. It was Meng Xianjun.

"Little Gu, wipe off your sweat, you've worked hard!" Meng Xianjun smiled.

"Thank you, Teacher Meng." Gu Yanzhi took the handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, "I'll wash it for you later and return it to you!"

"No, you can keep it, I still have it."

Meng Xianjun held Gu Yanzhi's hand naturally, "Little Gu, after hearing about your life experience, I admire your diligent and motivated spirit even more."

"Although there is a big difference in age between us, there are some things we talked about very speculatively, what do you think?"

Gu Yanzhi was flattered, and excitedly squeezed Meng Xianjun's hand, "Yes, Mr. Meng, we have been friends for a long time. As soon as I saw you, I felt that I fell in love with you. I heard about your past, and I admire..."

"Some things are inconvenient to say here, how about this, let's find a time, find a place where no one is around, and have a good chat!"

"Good! Good! Let's have a good chat!"

Back home, Meng Xianjun couldn't help feeling scared.

I was almost blinded by this studious and motivated young man. When I shook hands with him just now, he felt the calluses on Gu Yanzhi's index finger and tiger's mouth.

He is by no means a simple student, and definitely more than 18 years old.

Meng Xianjun sent out the situation and his plan in a secret letter overnight, and he was waiting for the organization's response.

At this moment, Gu Yanzhi was reporting the situation to his boss, his so-called uncle Li Mingqiang.

Li Mingqiang is the special commissioner of the military command. After the surrender of the Japanese army last year, the military command has placed spies of all sizes in various places.

Gu Yanzhi was a spy stationed in the Holy City. Because of his thin stature, he was placed in the Holy City Middle School under the name of a student who was shot dead in Meng Guzi Township.

Since taking over the work of the government, the military commander has noticed Meng Xianjun.

Judging from some records left by the Japanese army, Meng Xianjun was confessed by a man named Jiang Tongxin from Shengcheng Middle School, and this man was secretly executed after confessing, and none of the five members of his family survived.

Afterwards, it was found out that Jiang Tongxin was indeed the head of the CCP's transportation station in the holy city, but he confessed to the Japanese that Meng Xianjun was the person in charge. This is a suspicious point.

However, another interrogation record recorded in detail the circumstances of the interrogation of Meng Xianjun, and repeatedly mentioned that he refused to plead guilty, saying that he was framed and wronged.

What's even more bizarre is that the person who was so ruthless in extorting a confession by torture and almost killed him was actually his own sister Meng Wanyun, who was also a Japanese spy Tomoko Yamaguchi.

And this Tomoko Yamaguchi was later found out to be a student of the third phase of the military reunification, who was once aliased as Lan Mengdie, and Meng Wanyun who disappeared during the mission.

Before his cousin Meng Xianchen, a senior KMT military officer went to the Northeast to take office, he specifically asked his colleagues to take good care of him, a cousin who was falsely accused and framed and suffered a lot.

With such a confusing identity, how could the people in the military command not investigate Meng Xianjun?
