The banging on the door outside the courtyard became more and more violent, and it was about to be knocked open. The people in the courtyard looked extremely nervous, and everyone looked towards the door of the courtyard.

"It's too late!" Shen Zhongyuan already felt that the crisis was right in front of him, and the little devil would not give them more time to prepare to leave, so he took Shen Peiyun's hand and said, "Girl, you and Wang Si come with me to the study!"

Wang Si and Shen Peiyun looked at each other, and then followed Shen Zhongyuan along the corridor to Shen Zhongyuan's study.

There are bookshelves in the study room, and there are a lot of books stacked on them, which can be described as dazzling. It can be seen that Shen Zhongyuan is a book lover, and maybe he comes from a scholarly family.

But these are not the focus at all now. The most important thing at the moment is how to get rid of the little Japs who have arrived outside the courtyard gate.

After Shen Zhongyuan entered the study, he turned a pen holder 180 degrees on a summer day in the front. He saw that the bookshelf in the study was divided in the middle, and then slowly pushed and pulled towards both sides, leaving a strip in the middle.

Go through a passage the size of a person.

Both Wang Si and Shen Peiyun were dumbfounded. They never thought that since there was a cave here, a small study room actually had an underground passage hidden under a secret compartment.

"Dad, I played here all the time when I was a child. Why didn't I find such a passage here?" Shen Peiyun was more surprised than surprised. She couldn't understand how many secrets her father had that she didn't know.

"This was prepared by the owner of our house to escape when the warlords were fighting. My father discovered this place by chance. He originally planned to leave here after the little devil broke through the city, but then..." Shen Zhongyuan simply said this.

The origin of the passage, and then said to Shen Peiyun eagerly, "Let's not talk about this for now. This passage leads directly to the mountain temple outside the West City Gate. You should get out of here quickly!"

"Dad, come with us. The little devils have no humanity. They can do anything." Shen Peiyun heard the meaning of Shen Zhongyuan's words, and her eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't tell whether it was worry, fear or fear.

The feelings in my heart are very complicated, and I can’t explain them clearly.

"Silly boy, dad is the magistrate of Yuncheng County and the parent of hundreds of thousands of people. What will they do if dad is gone?" Shen Zhongyuan has too much in his heart that he can't let go of. Whether it's responsibility, obligation or his conscience,

He is not allowed to leave here and abandon the people below him.

"Dad..." Shen Peiyun's voice was hoarse and she began to choke, as if she would never see Shen Zhongyuan again once she left, and her heart was filled with sadness.

"Let's go!" There was another violent crash outside. Shen Zhongyuan pushed Shen Peiyun into the secret passage, and then said to Wang Si, "Boy, listen to me, my daughter will be handed over to you. If you

Let him suffer even the slightest injustice, and I will never let you go!"

"I...this matter...is it...Hey...Mr. Shen..." Wang Si felt something was wrong with what he said. He seemed to be trying to force someone into something difficult, and regardless of whether he agreed or not, the other party ignored him.

When he was about to speak clearly, he didn't expect that Shen Zhongyuan pushed him in, and then the bookshelf immediately closed from both sides, separating Wang Si and Shen Zhongyuan, as if they were split into two independent spaces in an instant.

Same, lost contact.

The calling voice just swirled in the dark corridor, dull but deafening. Just like Shen Zhongyuan said, this is a secret passage, a secret passage that is dark and cannot see the light.

"Miss, let's go!" Wang Si said to Shen Peiyun on the side. He knew very well that there was no value in staying here now. Shen Zhongyuan would never open this place to meet them again.

Shen Peiyun may also know this. She knows her father too well. Even eight horses can't pull back what she wants to do. At this moment, all she can do is leave here with Wang Si, so she nodded.

Wang Si was worried that she was scared, so he walked in front to find the way for her, and asked Shen Peiyun to follow him and walk forward.

In the darkness, they could only hear each other's breathing and the echo of their footsteps as they walked. Every time they took a step forward, the sound of their feet was amplified several times and slowly spread along the corridor.

The moment after Shen Zhongyuan closed the bookshelf, he sat on the chair next to the desk and wrote on the newspaper with the writing brush on the desk, "No one has died since ancient times, and his loyalty will be remembered by history."

Before he put down the brush in his hand, Xiaodao led people into the courtyard, searched all the rooms in the Shen family courtyard, then came to the study and surrounded Shen Zhongyuan in the middle.

"Chen Sang, Commander Hashimoto invited you to the headquarters as a guest. I didn't expect Shen Sang to leave without saying goodbye. Doesn't this seem a bit rude?" Xiaodao looked up at Shen Zhongyuan, and then said with a reproachful attitude.

.

"Humph!" Shen Zhongyuan threw the brush out of his hand with a look of disdain, and then all his eyes were focused on the big characters he was writing.

At this time, a Japanese soldier found a piece of clothing that was full of blood and had rag strips everywhere from Shen Peiyun's room, and brought it to Xiao Dao in time.

This dress was exactly what Jiang Caidi wore when she came to the Shen family compound. Every tear and every bloodstain on the dress recorded the cruelty of the little devil.

"Shen Sang, how do you explain this?" Xiaodao saw the bloody clothes and immediately walked up to Shen Zhongyuan and asked.

"Do I need to explain? Every Chinese son and daughter should put on this bloody suit and fight the little devil to the end!" Shen Zhongyuan saw this bloody suit and immediately said to Xiaodao.

Shen Peiyun has left with Wang Si. He no longer has any worries and will not take these little devils seriously at all.

Anyway, the moment he stayed, he had no intention of taking his own life, otherwise he would never have rushed towards the island so happily, pouring out all the words that had been stored in his heart for countless days.

"Baga!" Xiaodao had already heard that something was wrong with Shen Zhongyuan's words. When he looked at the big letter on the table, he immediately understood that Shen Zhongyuan could no longer be used by them.

So Xiaodao roared and lifted up the big characters on the table and tore them into pieces. When the pieces of paper fell from the air, Xiaodao had already raised the Nanfang Fourteen pulled out from his waist and aimed at Shen Zhongyuan's head.

.

With a "pop" gunshot, Shen Zhongyuan instantly fell to the table. Blood poured out from the bullet hole on his forehead, covering the table. The paper scraps slowly fell on his body, like June's

Like snowflakes, they fall from the sky with that coldness...
