Chapter 119 Farewell
However, amid the praises from everyone, Tang Xiaoxiao seemed a little embarrassed.
She whispered, "Don't say that. Without you, I wouldn't be able to move so many weapons back!" Her humility made everyone feel even more deeply that this achievement was not only a personal honor, but also the result of teamwork.
"Comrade Master, you are too modest." Yu Fanghua said with a smile, "We all see your ability and contribution. You have played an indispensable role in tonight's victory."
Wang Shoucheng nodded in agreement: "That's right, our guerrillas are really short of weapons. With these weapons, we can fight the devils with real swords and guns."
Tang Xiaoxiao was surrounded by everyone's enthusiasm and praise, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
At this time, Xiao Cui and Xue Linyuan each carried two bowls of hot noodles and walked briskly into the living room.
"There are still a lot in the kitchen. Don't be polite, just go and get them." Xue Linyuan's voice was gentle but powerful. His words were like a warm current that instantly filled the house with a feeling of home.
"Come on, Sasa, eat quickly." As he said this, he handed a bowl of fragrant chicken noodle soup to Tang Xiaoxiao.
Tang Xiaoxiao took the noodles, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She nodded slightly to express her gratitude, and then couldn't wait to taste it.
The noodles are as thin as silk and green in color, like new sprouts in spring, exuding the breath of life.
They jumped on the tip of Tang Xiaoxiao's tongue, smooth but not greasy, with a faint fragrance, as if they were a gift from nature.
Each noodle is like a carefully crafted work of art, melting in your mouth and leaving a mouthful of fragrance that is endlessly memorable, as if the whole world has become beautiful at this moment.
"Wow, it's delicious!" Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaimed, her voice full of joy and satisfaction.
After hearing this, the others no longer hesitated, and stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Although their steps were hurried, their faces were filled with happy smiles.
In the kitchen, some people were busy serving themselves a bowl of hot noodles, while others were helping and passing the bowls and chopsticks. The whole scene was filled with harmony and warmth.
In the next few days, Tang Xiaoxiao sneaked into the enemy's hospital under the cover of night and cleverly obtained a batch of urgently needed medicines. She then boldly broke into the secret service headquarters and stole several precious radio equipment.
Although this series of actions was thrilling, Tang Xiaoxiao relied on her extraordinary courage and wit and finally returned to Fanghua Bookstore safely.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Yu Fanghua and Xue Linyuan sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for something.
Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao's return, both of them showed a trace of concern. "Why haven't you rested yet?" Tang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, after all, it was already late at night.
Yu Fanghua did not answer immediately, but took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to Tang Xiaoxiao.
This telegram seemed to carry important information. After Tang Xiaoxiao took it, she quickly began to translate it.
As the content of the telegram became clearer, her expression became more serious.
The telegram said that Tang Shui was missing in Shanghai, which made Tang Xiaoxiao feel uneasy.
"Shouldn't Tangshui be in Yan'an? How could he suddenly disappear?" Tang Xiaoxiao thought secretly, her heart full of doubts and worries.
Noticing Tang Xiaoxiao's abnormality, Xue Linyuan asked with concern: "Sasa, are you okay?" He didn't know Tang Xiaoxiao's real name, he only knew that her code name in the organization was "Master", so he had always called her by her alias "Xue Sasa".
Yu Fanghua also noticed Tang Xiaoxiao's nervousness, and she asked gently, "Comrade Master, what happened?" Yu Fanghua had indescribable admiration and concern for this young and brave girl.
Tang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and replied, "It's okay, Aunt Yu. However, I need to go to Shanghai as soon as possible to deal with some urgent matters. Can you help me buy a train ticket to Shanghai?"
Yu Fanghua nodded without hesitation and said, "Aunt Yu will come up with a solution. When do you need the ticket?"
"The sooner the better." Tang Xiaoxiao's answer was concise and firm, revealing her inner sense of urgency.
"Okay, Aunt Yu will arrange it." Yu Fanghua promised, and then turned to Xue Linyuan: "Xiao Xue, you also have to evacuate tomorrow and return to Yan'an by water."
Xue Linyuan nodded, indicating his obedience: "I will follow the organization's arrangements."
Yu Fanghua nodded with satisfaction and continued, "We first fired torpedoes at the Nitto Maru in the early hours of yesterday morning. After the ship was hit by the torpedo, it caught fire and soon sank 140 nautical miles southeast of Hong Kong.
Before and after the sinking of the Nitto Maru, Japanese officers and soldiers on board fell into the water one after another, and Japanese destroyers rushed to rescue them. However, it was dark at this time, making rescue difficult, so some Japanese soldiers could not be rescued and drowned.
After that, the Japanese fleet, which had lost the Nitto Maru, continued to sail towards its destination. The US submarine Seahorse followed and pursued it, and at noon, it fired another torpedo at the 28th Kyodo Maru, hitting the middle of the left side of the ship.
大量的海水立即从缺口灌入船体，该船逐渐左倾，不久便沉没于东沙岛以西偏南22公里处（北纬20度32分、东经115度20分）。
Xiao Xue, you also have a contribution in this incident, and your superiors have decided to commend you.
Xue Linyuan was filled with joy when he learned of the sinking of the Nitto Maru, but he still modestly said: "All this is to defeat the Japanese invaders."
"That's very well said. All our efforts are aimed at repelling the Japanese invaders. One day, we will be able to drive them out of our country completely."
"Drive out those Japanese invaders."
"Under Mount Fuji, the Han flag is flying, and under the cherry trees, the Hu girl is drunk. When the red flag is all over the world, I will ride my horse to Tokyo to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Once the city is broken and the cherry trees are gone, I will look back at the old friends. Even if I am alone, I will definitely leave the enemy's head in front of the mausoleum. The mausoleum is full of enemy heads, and the bravery of today is not inferior to that of the ancients. The old friends are no longer here, and I miss the time when I fought the enemy two years ago!"
"That's great."
"I look forward to the time when the Han flags are flying under the Shishan Mountain and the Hu girls are drunk under the cherry trees. When the red flags are all over the world, we will ride horses to Tokyo to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Well, it's late, everyone should rest early and recuperate so that we can continue to move forward with full energy tomorrow."
"Okay, Aunt Yu." Tang Xiaoxiao said gratefully.
"Thank you, Sister Yu." Xue Linyuan also expressed his gratitude.
In response to the two people's thanks, Yu Fanghua smiled and waved her hand: "Why are you being polite to me?" There was a sense of relief in her words, but in fact, only she knew the reluctance in her heart.
Every time she bid farewell to her comrades, it was like a spiritual separation, but she knew that it was all worth it for the victory of the revolution.
As night fell, the three of them returned to their own rooms, ready to greet the new day that was about to begin.
In the silence of the night, Tang Xiaoxiao lay on her bed, thinking over and over again about the contents of the telegram in her mind.
The disappearance of sugar water made her feel unprecedented pressure.
As an important member of the organization, she knows that the safety of every comrade is of vital importance.
She decided that no matter how difficult the road ahead would be, she would go to Shanghai in person to find out the truth and ensure the safety of the sugar water.
The next morning, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Yu Fanghua got up early and prepared a simple breakfast for Tang Xiaoxiao.
She knew that Tang Xiaoxiao, who was about to embark on a journey, needed enough energy.
On the dining table, Yu Fanghua gently placed a train ticket in front of Tang Xiaoxiao: "Sasa, this is a train ticket for this afternoon, directly to Shanghai."
Tang Xiaoxiao picked up the ticket and looked at Yu Fanghua gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt Yu, I will be careful."
Yu Fanghua smiled and nodded, her eyes full of encouragement: "I believe you, Sasa. But remember, safety first, don't force it."
At this time, Xue Linyuan had also packed up and was ready to leave.
He shook hands with Yu Fanghua and Tang Xiaoxiao and said goodbye.
"Take care, Xiao Xue." Yu Fanghua patted Xue Linyuan's back gently, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Have a safe journey." Tang Xiaoxiao also said softly.
Parting is always sad, but for the sake of their common ideals, they must separate temporarily and pursue their own future.
In the afternoon, Tang Xiaoxiao boarded the train to Shanghai with firm determination.
In the carriage, she sat quietly, closed her eyes, and silently recited the name of the sugar water in her heart.
She knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, but she would not back down.
