Chapter 528 Ending
Xie Wuwei jumped into the river and saw Lin Ruotang slowly sinking into the water. She was surrounded by scarlet blood. His breathing stopped and he was so heartbroken that he could only grit his teeth.
He pulled Lin Ruotang and swam upwards.
"Out!"
"Out!"
The people on the shore and underground station were chattering.
"Prepare the stretcher!"
Xie Wuwei stood up from the water holding Lin Ruotang, blood dripping down his arms into the river.
Lin Ruotang was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes and wanted to take a nap.
But there is always a voice in my ear,
"Tangtang, today the cafeteria has your favorite braised pork!"
"Tangtang, I'm Xie Wuwei. Do you remember the first time we met? We were so innocent back then. I thought to myself, how could this little white rabbit do underground work? Whenever you went on a mission, I couldn't sleep at night..."
"Tangtang, I still owe you something!"
Lin Ruotang raised his heavy eyelids and said weakly:
"What else do you owe me?"
Xie Wuwei couldn't hold back any longer, he held her hand tightly, put it on his face, and cried inconsolably. He choked with sobs, but still hid his face in Lin Ruotang's palm.
Lin Ruotang slowed down, her voice was very soft,
"Is it two weddings..."
"You've held so many weddings, and you're not afraid of being laughed at!"
Xie Wuwei raised his head and looked at her with red eyes.
"Who dares to laugh!"
"Let's just take some pictures. Let's not bother with all the hassles. You know how tiring it is to organize a wedding..."
Lin Ruotang's eyes curved with laughter, and she looked very energetic.
Lin Ruotang finally woke up, and Xie Wuwei finally felt relieved.
He looked at Lin Ruotang with relief. He wanted to hug her but didn't dare. He could only put his hands on her cheeks. Looking at the gauze on her forehead, he pursed his lips.
Lin Ruotang raised his hand and touched the gauze, and suddenly became nervous.
"I am disfigured?"
Xie Wuwei's sorrow was drained away in an instant. He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He held Lin Ruotang's hand.
“It’s not disfigurement…”
Seeing Lin Ruotang was in a low mood, he took Lin Ruotang's hand and kissed her gently.
"No matter what you are like, I will..."
Lin Ruotang stared at him with eyes wide open.
"You are..."
Just as Xie Wuwei was about to say something, the door of the ward was pushed open and the doctor walked in.
"I heard the patient woke up!"
Xie Wuwei immediately shut his mouth.
Standing behind the doctor, he watched the doctor ask about Lin Ruotang's condition.
After the doctor left, the door of the ward was pushed open again.
Meng Ting'en walked in. He came in a hurry and was still wearing a military uniform. He was sincerely happy to see Lin Ruotang wake up.
"I'm here to say goodbye. I'm getting on a plane!"
Xie Wuwei and Lin Ruotang both looked at him. Meng Tingen received the news that he had to continue hiding and was now going to take a plane to the island.
Lin Ruotang looked solemn. This might be the last time they would see Meng Tingen.
Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Meng Tingen smiled.
"Stop making such a sullen face. At least we're still alive."
Meng Ting'en left and got on the car to the airport. When getting on the plane, he turned around and looked at the city behind him. It was gray everywhere. This was the place where he had struggled for many years.
Now he has to continue his struggle in another place, and some familiar or unfamiliar faces flash through his mind.
He casually threw his cape and turned to board the plane.
Lin Ruotang was seriously injured and almost beyond saving. He could not move for a short period of time and had to stay in bed in the hospital to recuperate.
Xie Wuwei was also injured and needed to rest.
Lin Ruotang turned his head, looked at it cautiously, and touched the gauze on his head.
“This hospital…”
"Most of the people in this hospital are from our group!"
The first thing Xie Wuwei did every time he woke up was to stare at Lin Ruotang's face without blinking, fearing that this person would disappear in the next second.
Xie Wuwei stayed by Lin Ruotang's bedside while they both recovered from their injuries.
In the early morning of January 15, 1949, there was a commotion outside the hospital.
Xie Wuwei and Lin Ruotang woke up in shock. They both needed to recuperate, so the hospital put them in the same ward so that they could take care of each other.
Xie Wuwei carefully opened the curtains, leaving a tiny gap through which only a faint light could be seen.
Lin Ruotang also opened her eyes. She looked at the calendar on the wall, which clearly showed the 15th.
She got out of bed, excitedly pulled open the curtains and opened the window, and more sounds came in.
"Boom!"
After a few gunshots, the sound of a horn rang out.
"Beep beep..."
Lin Ruotang had tears in her eyes, she knew what day it was.
She stuck her head out and saw several figures holding red flags, riding on horses, galloping on the road at dawn.
"Liberation!"
Then came the deafening sound, a mix of shouts that were sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes far, sometimes near.
Lin Ruotang held on to the window tightly, pointed outside, looked at Xie Wuwei, and couldn't say a word!
Xie Wuwei seemed to be holding his breath, and suddenly he let it out.
"Tianjin has been liberated, and Beijing will be liberated soon! It's really coming soon!"
Lin Ruotang heard the sound of a radio coming from outside. She and Xie Wuwei walked out and heard the announcer speaking in a clear voice on the radio.
"This is exciting news. On January 15, 1949, Tianjin was liberated..."
And the good news kept coming. On January 31, 1949, Beijing was peacefully liberated!
Lin Ruotang and Xie Wuwei also moved to the rear and met their old friend and superior Bai Zhu.
"You are finally back!"
"How can a bird not know the way home!"
Lin Ruotang said with a smile. Bai Zhu's eyes stopped at Lin Ruotang's forehead. There was a small scar there. The fair-skinned girl's face was not only weathered, but also had some battle medals. Her lips moved.
"Just come back safely!"
Bai Zhu's eyes were red and he held the two men's hands tightly.
Lin Ruotang returned to the place arranged for him to live in the rear, and saw Dongsheng. Lin Ruotang asked in surprise:
"Dongsheng, where is your father?"
"Dad is on a mission. He said he'll come back to see Dongsheng next spring. He's also found a new dad for Dongsheng!"
The man behind Dongsheng was touching his hair in a simple and honest manner. One of his eyes was missing, he was wearing an eye patch, and he walked with a limp. He was the former courier Liu Da Kui.
When he was escorting documents, he was shot in the eye by the enemy. He relied on his own two legs to walk to his destination, and his legs were broken.
"Dad said he's also my dad, and he was the one who gave me my name..."
Dongsheng was afraid of Liu Da Kui who was wearing a blindfold. He thought he looked scary, and he looked at Liu Da Kui timidly.
Lin Ruotang smiled and touched Dongsheng's head.
"I know. When you were sick, he was the one who carried you to the hospital..."
Dongsheng turned his head and tilted it to look at Liu Da Kui, looking at him carefully.
Liu Da Kui smiled at him, and Dong Sheng immediately turned around and hugged Lin Ruotang's legs.
Liu Da Kui took Dong Sheng away. Dong Sheng looked at his limping figure and after a moment of hesitation, he chased after him. He stretched out his tender little hand and held Liu Da Kui's hand, which was as rough as tree bark.
"This road is not easy to walk on. It's not as good as Tianjin at all. Please be careful. I'll support you..."
Liu Da Kui's eyes flashed with tears, and he happily agreed.
"Hey hey hey, listen to Dongsheng!"
Looking at their backs as they walked away, Lin Ruotang laughed. In a trance, she saw Dongsheng's figure growing taller and gradually growing into a young man in military uniform.
When Lin Ruotang returned home, Bai Zhu was already sitting in the room, and Xie Wuwei was standing beside him with a serious expression.
Lin Ruotang felt something in her heart, and she exchanged a glance with Xie Wuwei, both of them showing understanding in their eyes.
Bai Zhu looked up at the two of them, his expression dignified and solemn. He said:
"Intelligence has arrived from the south. When the Secret Service headquarters retreated, they left behind a special team lurking on the mainland. The organization wants you to go south now and track down this special agent team!"
It’s not over yet…
