Chapter 536 The Ups and Downs of Troubled Times (01)

Si Xuanyi has always been extremely enthusiastic about his work. Although this work has caused him constant troubles, he was even thrown into prison twice, and he had to go through life and death outside, but he did not slack off because of this. The reason is very simple, that is, his I have always believed that my job is to resist the Japanese and save the country. Whether it is on the frontal battlefield or behind enemy lines, or in this special battle, as long as I can fight against the Japanese invaders, I am also serving the country. Although he disdains those parties Struggles, and even less familiar with internal intrigues and scrambles between factions, but none of this can shake his sincere heart. He loves his country, which is enough. He has believed in it for many years. The reason is that everything he does is serving the country, not a certain party or a certain person. Although in many cases it is necessary to adapt and compromise in order to continue to survive in this wolf den, he believes that his original intention is still the same. exist.

With the passage of time, his work has become smoother and smoother. One is that after a long period of straightening out the various processes, he has basically perfected it, and he has rich experience in handling things. In addition, Liang Wei is a competent person, which really makes him feel relaxed. A lot, so basically there is nothing he needs to deal with in normal times. Li Siming can also deal with what Liang Wei can't handle. The things that can really come to him are basically big things, but these things are relatively rare, and he also You can move around more when you are free enough to cultivate more interpersonal relationships, which can be regarded as expanding your work space horizontally. After all, the operation of a department requires the cooperation of other departments and needs to deal with more people, so in many cases , he seems to be relatively free, but in fact he is very busy, hanging shoulders with the heads of other departments as brothers. Eggs are hard to do.

Apart from these official affairs, he put most of his energy on Xiaolu. He took this girl everywhere to seek medical treatment. He felt that if he didn't take care of her in this world, this girl might really be doomed. , so she took the child around to treat herself, but finally came to the conclusion that Xiaolu actually had no physical problems, but she was in a self-enclosed state after being strongly stimulated, and she was unwilling to contact the outside world, so she kept acting crazy. Dementia, taking medicine for this kind of disease will not solve any problems. It is necessary for him to untangle the depression in his heart before he can return to normal state. In fact, it seems to outsiders that this is a very simple matter, but for the child himself It is extremely difficult to say, she has blocked her normal contact with the outside world, and even has no response to normal communication, so it is very difficult to let her open her heart through other people's enlightenment, and whether she can really get out of this situation in the end. This state depends on her. In addition, some doctors also suggested that if this girl continues to be like this for too long, she may be lost forever in her chaotic heart and will never come out again, becoming a mental vegetative state. , to put it bluntly, he might become a fool.

Si Xuanyi was very worried about this, but he couldn't find a better way. He could only follow the doctor's request to take the girl to broaden her horizons, let her mind go, and at the same time give advice and advice, but after a while, nothing came of her. Progress, Liang Wei suggested that Xiaolu be sent to the United States for treatment. She could ask her acquaintances there to take care of her and help find a suitable psychiatrist. Du Chongyang was really worrying, but after careful consideration, he had no choice but to agree. After all, there was probably nothing to hope for in China, but on the day when Xiaolu was sent away, a miracle happened. Xiaolu never let go of him, but except Apart from crying non-stop, she didn't say anything. Everyone who came to see him off could understand that this girl didn't want to leave Si Xuanyi. Perhaps in the eyes of this child, Si Xuanyi had become his only family member. All the people in the clan died. It may be that Si Xuanyi's care for her made her somewhat dependent on her during this period of time, which is why this happened. However, this is a good thing after all. After all, this child has some understanding of the outside world. opposite.

But when she was happy, another problem came up. It was impossible for Si Xuanyi to accompany her to the United States, but he didn't have the heart to push the child out like this, so in the end Xiaolu didn't make it, and stayed with the two of them. Resting at home, there is only so much Si Xuanyi can do, but he still firmly believes that this girl will recover, but he can't keep this girl by his side forever, and hopes that after a period of persuasion, this girl can go to the United States obediently To receive treatment is just to suspend travel.

Si Xuanyi's care for Xiaolu impressed everyone, especially Liang Wei. She felt that Si Xuanyi was not only responsible but also very caring.

But all of this cannot become the theme of Si Xuanyi's life after all, he must continue his work, he has his own mission and responsibility.

Only after he did this job did he really understand how serious the destruction, theft, and trafficking of cultural relics and historic sites were in this war-torn era. Calligraphy and paintings were transported away by carts and boats. Warlords, local armed forces, tomb robbers, and even some troops unscrupulously robbed and destroyed some ancient tombs. These precious cultural relics were sold and transshipped at a low price in exchange for arms, filling their pockets. It was shocking. Their department Although its original intention was to fight for power and profit, it has indeed played some role. Since its establishment, they have removed and protected tens of thousands of precious cultural relics, but this does not mean that they have made great achievements, because the number lost is even greater Many, in many cases, they were helpless. Hundreds of soldiers died on this front alone. It can be said that the protected cultural relics were bought with blood and lives, so Si Xuanyi knew very well Their future work will definitely be very challenging.

As the wounded returned to the team one after another, new recruits continued to be added, and the personnel became more complete. Si Xuanyi called all the people in the headquarters to hold a meeting to discuss the current situation and the next step of work.

"This is the meeting with the largest number of people since the establishment of our department." Si Xuanyi looked at the crowded room and said, "The people who can sit here are all elites who have been washed away by the waves, and there are countless veterans who have been born and died with me. There are also newcomers who have been carefully selected, trained strictly, and called up. We are a special department. Compared with the charge on the frontal battlefield, our work may be insignificant, but what we do is a very meaningful thing. We are defending the culture of our nation with blood and life, the heritage left by our ancestors and the bloodline passed down to this day by the nation. Some people say that we are not doing our job properly, and what is the use of caring about those dead things and holding those ancient books and relics at the critical moment of the nation's life and death? Can the things in the grave save the country? I can only say that these people have insufficient vision and short-sightedness. Everything we do can let future generations remember how splendid our nation’s history and culture once were, so that our future generations will not be enslaved by foreign enemies. Colonists can occupy our land, but our culture can never be wiped out, as long as our culture is in our nation, as long as our nation is in our country, it can be revived.”

Si Xuanyi is not a person with a talent for expressing, but his words are not unreasonable, and they have a sense of inspiration. Everyone present is listening carefully. It can be said that those who can sit here are basically able to Those who can read and write, although they dare not say they are literate, at least none of them are illiterate. Among these people, Si Xuanyi is probably one of the least literate.

"The rules in our department are very simple. No matter how capable you are or how many things you can do, first do your job well, and then consider other things. I don't limit you to use your abilities, but don't make trouble. I It is also very clear that some of you work for others and come here for other purposes, don't play tricks in front of me, if you harm the interests of the group, don't blame me for being ruthless." Si Xuanyi's words were a warning to those who were placed with different purposes The people who come in to monitor their department, of course, include the Central Command and the Military Command. The internal investigation and surveillance of the Military Command are pervasive. Many people often disappear inexplicably. This is not only the victim of the power struggle, but also the hands and feet of foreign enemies. Some of them were secretly executed by family law. Of course Si Xuanyi understood this method of the military command. If you do a good job, you don't want anyone to disturb the situation. If these people can keep their own place here, he won't go too deep into it. If he does anything that is harmful to the interests of the department, he will never be soft.

"Deputy Section Chief Liang will be in charge of the daily work in the future. He can decide almost all major and minor matters in our department, but the combat missions will be in charge of me and Deputy Section Chief Li. Especially newcomers must first figure out their position. We old guys are relatively easy to get along with. Newcomers show your enthusiasm for work, and we old guys will also show your work experience to help you grow quickly. Our department needs people who are not fake, but what we need is capable, talented people. A person with a brain and a working method is not a person with a dead body..." Si Xuanyi's words at the meeting were very blunt, he didn't have the heart to engage in those high-sounding clichés, what to say, straightforward and frank is his nature .

After he finished speaking, Liang Wei made some additions and adjusted his work. It can be said that the scale of this adjustment is relatively large. Many people's positions have been changed to make the staff layout more reasonable, especially to straighten out This can effectively improve the work efficiency and further strengthen the strength of the action team. After several months of study and training, Liu Xiaotian was directly appointed as the vice-captain of the action team, and Li Siming took him to perform external tasks. In fact, this intention It is very obvious that in the future, he will basically be handed over to him as the leader of the external tasks. Li Siming will only play a connecting role. Si Xuanyi will gradually leave the front-line work and shift the focus of work back to the inside. There are some rumors that he is trying to sit in the headquarters for a long time, straighten out the relationship between the headquarters and the outside world, strengthen control, and improve work efficiency. His purpose is to complete the construction of the headquarters first, and then gradually help the local subordinate organizations to improve their construction and form combat effectiveness. Regularized and systematic protection of cultural relics and historic sites in various jurisdictions to prevent the loss of cultural relics, and the cultural invasion of the Hell Anti-Japanese Army. After all, the growth of the scale of various places and the regularization of institutions are also what the above is happy to see. This is to some extent In other words, it is also a substantive expansion of the power of the military command. Although the higher authorities have always asked them not to simply do their own work, but to strengthen intelligence collection while completing their own work, and ultimately to serve the war of resistance and peace, Si Xuanyi thought that Finishing the internal construction first is an excuse, and he has not arranged a place to do such work for the time being. He doesn't want to be involved in another whirlpool. Although all this is inevitable in the end, in his attitude, it is a day-to-day calculation. He just wants to do a good job. For his own work, he just wants to fulfill the original intention of the establishment of this department. He just wants to prevent the cultural invasion of the Japanese army. He just wants to save the country, protect the nation, and inherit the national culture. He is concerned, and he doesn't want to get involved, but he also knows that this day will come sooner or later, as long as this department belongs to the military command, they can't avoid it.

After get off work, Si Xuanyi took Li Siming and Liang Wei back to see Xiaolu. The reason why he took Li Siming with him was to avoid gossip about him and Liang Wei. The gossip, although he dare not say it, he is upright, but it is not as unbearable as described by the market, at least he is qualified to be called a person, this is his own evaluation, as to whether it is high or low, he does not know , but even though he doesn't care what others say about him, he still has to take Liang Wei into consideration, after all, she is still an unmarried girl.

Xiaolu's spirit is much better than before, she is no longer in a daze like before, she has also responded to some external information, knows who treats her well, especially Liang Wei has a thankful smile, but still Without saying a word, there was no change in his attitude towards Si Xuanyi, but he could be regarded as one of the only people who could get close to her without making her show fear.

"During this period of time, the girl is recovering well. I hope he can recover as soon as possible. I have discussed with my parents and sent her to study in the United States when it is more convenient. First, I will stay away from the world of war and strife, and I can also stay away from this sad place. This is good for her. Recovery is good." Liang Wei looked at Xiao Lu who was sitting on the lawn and looked into the distance quietly, and said that she already regarded this girl as her family.
