Old Movies of the Republic of China(7)

The Fourth Master has been very anxious lately, tossing and turning all night long and unable to sleep.

"What's going on?" That night, Lin Yutong was disturbed by his turning over and couldn't sleep, so he simply turned over and sat up, "Don't keep it in your heart if you have something on your mind."

The fourth master lay still and didn't move for a long time. After a long time, he simply turned on the lamp. He sat up and wrapped Lin Yutong in a quilt. He leaned on the bed and said, "Don't you think you forgot something? Think about it carefully.

."

What have you forgotten? What can you forget?

"What?" Lin Yutong hadn't woken up, and her mind was still a little confused. Her mind was in a haze at the moment, "Epidemic... I thought about this. It seems that cholera has broken out in many other places, with Shaanxi being the most serious.

But this should be about Qiu Shang. When Miss Lu came over this time, I was already thinking about it. I haven't forgotten it!" As she said this, she rubbed her eyes and wanted to lie down.

"Yes!" Fourth Master squinted his eyes, "September 18 has not changed, and the flood epidemic has not changed either. But until now, I still haven't waited for something."

"What's the matter?" Lin Yutong regained his consciousness and started thinking about it, "I've been thinking about the disease recently..."

"One, two, eight!" Fourth Master said these three words as a reminder before Lin Yutong finished speaking.

One hundred and twenty-eight? January twenty-eight!

Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, that’s right! On January 28, 1932, Japan launched a massive attack on Shanghai, and the 128 War of Resistance broke out. But it’s already March now.

She finally realized what was wrong.

"Some events have deviated due to unknown reasons." She was stunned for a moment before saying.

The Fourth Master nodded, simply got up, and walked around the room with his clothes on: "Because I went to the countryside on September 18th, this has not changed. Recently, I have been paying attention to the news in Qingdao, and I also read Qingdao newspapers.

I sent related articles, but there has been no news. I remember that after Qingdao was captured..."

Before he could finish his words, a violent explosion was heard suddenly, and then the whole house trembled.

The fourth master rushed over and pinned Lin Yutong under him. When he could no longer sway, he looked up and saw that there was still dust falling from the house. Lin Yutong's first reaction when he heard the movement outside was - Wolf

coming!

She immediately understood what Fourth Master meant. Things that were supposed to happen would still happen, but the specific date might deviate in some way. This caused them to completely lose the advantage of taking advantage of specific events.

The reason why the two of them had not discussed this period of history before was because they had vague suspicions in their hearts.

Now it is actually confirmed.

Lin Yutong took the clothes to Fourth Master: "Quickly change into them!"

I quickly changed my clothes in the room, and the sound of gunfire became more and more intense.

While changing his clothes, Fourth Master said, "Listen! This is a firefight between the two sides."

Not daring to delay at all, the two of them came out of the house and saw that there was already chaos outside, with people moving outward in a crowd. Looking at this direction, it should be the direction of the concession. Children were crying, adults were shouting, and there was dense gunfire.

middle.

In this chaotic crowd, it was lucky that the two of them didn't get separated. They couldn't have gotten separated sooner even if they wanted to.

When I arrived at the concession and returned to the orphanage, I realized that the houses on both sides were full of children.

Sister-in-law Gui wiped the sweat from her head: "Not all of them are orphans. Most of the children sent in are under five years old. With the war going on, no one knows when the war will continue. The children are too young and they are running for their lives everywhere.

They can't survive. There is nothing the adults can do. Many of them said they would foster the children here first, and some even left money."

Lin Yutong nodded: "Just keep it. Keep what you brought. Is there enough food?"

"Didn't you say before that we should buy more food while the price is good?" Sister Gui was a little lucky, "Most of the money you gave me has been converted into food. It's all cornmeal, which is enough to eat."

No matter what it is, some food is fine.

"That's good." Lin Yutong looked inside and outside and saw the elder and the younger ones. Although they were crying and fussing, it was safe here. In this era, it is lucky to be alive. As for whether the life is good or not, psychologically

She was not harmed, so she couldn't care about it for the time being. She would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. The child's cry made her feel uneasy, so she didn't want to stay in the orphanage any longer. She looked outside and said, "Here

Just be busy. I have nothing to worry about. There are some things I have to do in person, and I won't be able to come over these days."

Coming downstairs, the Fourth Master and Han Zai have already found dozens of strong laborers. They are all workers familiar to Han Zai and Gui's wife. With these people to help, there is no need to worry here. The Fourth Master called Han Zai

He warned, "Be smart, if things go wrong, you will send all the children to the basement."

After chatting for a long time, the two of them saw that they had nothing to explain, so they turned around and walked out. The plane flew overhead. Looking from a distance, they saw the cannonball falling from the plane. That direction should be the downtown area.

We rushed forward all the way until we reached the outer edge of the position. As we watched the wounded soldiers being carried down one by one, Fourth Master said, "You stay here, you can't go any further. I'm going to find a way to get gauze and medicine."

"Okay!" Lin Yutong didn't show any pretense and watched Fourth Master leave. Now everything in the hospital has been requisitioned. But there are still many businessmen who have things in their hands. Find more medicines and save more people.

After the fourth master left in a hurry, Lin Yutong went to the corner, put on a white coat, took out a first aid kit, and started working.

At this time, no one would ask who is who. Seeing a doctor close to the position, Lin Yutong went to the nearest place to treat the minor injuries, and then returned to the battlefield. Those who were seriously injured were only given the most basic first aid here.

After that, transport it to the rear.

Sometimes the bullets seemed to fly close to the cheeks, and the shells landed not far away. The people who were bombed could not hear clearly and could not speak. Many times, they could not stand firmly.

In the evening, Fourth Master came over with a few people who looked like workers, and delivered gauze and limited medicines. "I also contacted the nursing school, and several students came over immediately. Asked them to help treat minor injuries.

Come here and have something to eat."

Lin Yutong took the steamed buns that Fourth Master had given her. She actually couldn't hear him clearly, but she probably understood what he meant. Outside, she couldn't ask where the medicines were obtained, so she just gestured.

, told him to be careful.

After three full days of such day and night, Lin Yutong could fall asleep even while standing. He had never been so tired. The nearest rescue center to Lin Yutong's rescue center was the first aid center of Ren Hospital. Over the past few days, they

They also found that no matter how serious the injuries were sent from Lin Yutong, none of them died.

So slowly, more and more seriously injured patients were sent over, and there were almost no minor injuries. As a result, there was no one left to take her place and take a breather.

You can only take the time to rest on one side when both parties are temporarily out of flames.

During the brief calm of the day, Lin Yutong was awakened by the intensive sound of gunfire again. This time when he opened his eyes, he saw a woman in trousers with a camera hanging around her neck and a pen and notebook in her hand. Needless to say,

She knew that she was a reporter. Lin Yutong admired her courage to come to the battlefield as a reporter. But she didn't want to be interviewed by her at all.

"Doctor Lin." She followed Lin Yutong, "When I came to the battlefield, I heard your name. Which hospital are you a doctor from? I see that you use silver needles. Are you a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine? My name is Xu Lihua.

He is a reporter from the Central News Agency..."

"If you don't hinder me from saving people, I will thank you even more." Lin Yutong frowned when he saw her raising the camera in her hand, took out the mask from her pocket, and put it directly on her face.

"Pa..." With a sound, Xu Lihua looked at the woman who was wearing a mask and hid her face tightly. She was stunned. She had never seen someone who didn't want to be famous so much. She looked at Lin Yutong and then shrugged helplessly.

Shrugging his shoulders, "Okay, I respect your wishes. You, a Chinese medicine doctor..."

"What's wrong with traditional Chinese medicine?" Lin Yutong kept holding his hands, and his tone was a bit sarcastic: "The year before last, the Central Health Commission of the government proposed a resolution to 'fundamentally promote Western medicine and overturn traditional Chinese medicine.' Didn't you also vigorously advocate it? What is Miss Xu's opinion?

?Banned from practicing medicine?”

It's ridiculous to think of these nonsense. A government agency's resolution is so frivolous.

Xu Lihua was choked and before she could react, Lin Yutong didn't give her a chance to speak and turned around to deal with other wounded people.

This was a small episode, and Lin Yutong forgot about it within two days.

Such days lasted for a month, and the final result seemed to have not changed. Chiang proposed that on the one hand, they should negotiate with them, and on the other hand, they should actively prepare for war. Such negotiations would definitely have results, because Japan just wanted to

The focus has just shifted from Northeast to Shanghai. I heard that the two sides are already in negotiations, and countries such as Britain and the United States have intervened as third parties. It is considered a truce for the time being.

When Lin Yutong and Fourth Master returned home, the condition of their small yard was pretty good. Except for the rented shop outside, which suffered some damage, most of the house was undamaged. It was only when entering the house.

, only to find that most of the things in the house have been lost. Everything from small pots and pans to large furniture and bedding has disappeared. Someone must have taken the opportunity to steal it! In this world, there are all kinds of people who take advantage of the national crisis to make a fortune.

There are many. Big people have ways to make money like big people, and small people have ways to make money like little people.

Lost, lost! The two of them did not make a serious count of what was lost or how much. After all, these things are not important things. Lin Yutong will never keep the really important things at home.

The two of them didn't say anything. They were so tired that they couldn't hold on anymore. They just closed the door, ate a meal, and lay on the bed to sleep. It was a dark sleep, and if they didn't feel hungry, they would definitely not be able to wake up.

.

Lin Yutong stood up and pricked her ears a few times before she felt better. She didn't have to struggle to listen to people. She handed the food to the Fourth Master who was lying next to her, "Eat some first."

The fourth master glanced at it and took it, but he was not in a hurry to eat it. Instead, he said: "Give me a glass of water first." His voice was extremely hoarse.

Lin Yutong handed over the water again and watched him get up to drink it, feeling relieved. He leaned on the bed and then asked him: "A lot of medicine was consumed this time. Where did you get it?"

"Gang." Fourth Master simply said two words, "They only have ready-made ones, and they are not within the scope of the government's recruitment."

But it's not easy to take the meat out of these people's hands.

While listening, Lin Yutong lay down and ate every bite. He looked at the roof with wide eyes, a bit confused.

Fourth Master stretched out his hand to pat her: "You have done everything you can do. This is enough. We are not saviors! We cannot be saviors!" History has its own trajectory. It is never written by one person, nor can it be written by one person.

Changed. "Now, the big picture has become..."

Not only the domestic situation, but also the world situation. Even God cannot wave his arm and turn all disasters away.

Lin Yutong said 'hmm', "I know..." She sat up suddenly, "Those plans of yours... If you have anything to calculate in the future, leave it to me. We can work together faster."

"Okay!" Fourth Master just responded when he heard a knock on the door outside.

Who is coming at this time?

The fourth master put on his clothes and went downstairs to open the door. Lin Yutong quickly changed clothes upstairs and vaguely heard the voice of a fool outside. He was asking the fourth master, with some anxiety, worry and complaint in his voice: "...where have you been?
To be continued...
