Chapter 59

Luo Fusheng came out from Ningyuan with a bunch of black roses. Unexpectedly, after two hours, Lin’s car was still parked at the door. Lin Ruomeng sat in the car watching the script of the new movie. He looked up and saw Luo Fusheng coming out.

She got out of the car and walked towards him. Just about to speak, she stopped by his eyes. There were still people at the gate of Ningyuan, so he only said one sentence: “Get in the car and say.”

Luo Fusheng put the flower in the front seat, and the two got into the Lin family car together.

“I just heard that today is your birthday. I am preparing a gift. I hope you like it.” She handed him a beautifully wrapped rectangular gift box.

“Actually, I don’t have the habit of having a birthday.” Luo Fusheng frowned.

Seeing her insistence, he took it, but did not take it apart, but put it on his lap. Lin Ruomeng’s eyes darkened, and she didn’t know what to say for a while.

“You and Liben don’t get too close.” Luo Fusheng said suddenly without beginning and ending.

“Why?” She didn’t make a mistake just now, but this sentence can be understood in many ways. She wants to listen to Luo Fusheng in person.

“It’s not good for you.” There was still no warmth in his words, but Lin Ruomeng secretly stopped laughing. This person is deep in the city, but she doesn’t care about her.

“What are you laughing at?” It was obviously a serious matter, but Luo Fusheng couldn’t help frowning when she saw her laughing.

“Aren’t you curious about what the present I gave you?” Lin Ruomeng stared at the gift box in his hand.

Luo Fusheng then opened the gift box, which contained a pair of sheepskin shadow men. It was a pair of male and female generals that Lin Ruomeng personally matched at the market last time.

“What are you giving me this for?”

“After crossing the bridge, it may not be the end of the world, it may be the same end by different routes.” Lin Ruomeng looked into his eyes and picked up the shadow figure of the female general. “Why did a woman ever make a beard?”

Luo Fusheng’s eyes flickered, and the heavens and men fought in his heart. He didn’t know how much she knew. Can these things really get her involved? Does she know about her mother? If she knew, what did she think?

Lin Ruomeng saw his hesitation and slowly put the shadowman back into the box. “Sometimes self-righteous protection is another expression of looking down on people. You figure out how to answer me.”

After a long while, Luo Fusheng finally reported a place name to the driver. “I’ll take you to a place first.”

The car drove straight to Chongming Village, where the port is the closest to the sea entrance in Shanghai. After getting off the car, Luo Fusheng took her to the shore and ran into a boatman who was pulling a boat.

“Uncle Pang!” Luo Fusheng waved at the boatman.

When Uncle Pang saw him, he tied the rope in his hand and waved to him, the pleats on his smiling face were piled up, and the pleats were all sand from the sea. “Shengzi, why are you here today!”

Uncle Pang was a close friend of his father when he was young. When he was young, his father often took him to Uncle Pang’s house in Chongming Village to play. His favorite place when he was a child was here, and he often clamored and refused to go back.

He also has a secret base here.

“Uncle Pang, bring me two swimsuits, two scubas and goggles.” He turned around and asked her. “Can you swim?”

“Yeah.” Nine-year-old Hong was in the river when she picked her up, fearing that she would not be well watered. So she trained her to be water-based since she was young. Although she is a little afraid of water, she can swim.

Uncle Pang took them to a cabin by the sea. Pointing to a closet of swimwear in the room to show Lin Ruomeng. “These are all sold to foreigners visiting the surrounding areas. They are all imported products. The styles are good-looking and brand new. The lady can wear them with ease.”

Lin Ruomeng picked up a pink swimming trunk the size of briefs, and asked Luo Fusheng with a crimson face: “You want me to wear this ?”

“This is the latest split swimsuit from France. The one above is here.” Uncle Pang picked up the upper part that looked like pink underwear and recommended it to Lin Ruomeng.

Luo Fusheng only took a look, his face flushed, and he even stuttered. “No…no. You wear this.”

He glanced at a black one-piece swimsuit in the corner, where the cover was tightly covered. Such as being amnesty. “This is good! Let’s change this.”

Lin Ruomeng let out a cry and took the swimsuit he chose to go to the bathroom next door. Luo Fusheng took off his jacket and shirt directly in the house and put on his swimming trunks.

Uncle Pang teased him next to him. “Why are you young people so conservative in your thinking? It’s now the Republic of China. You’re squeaky in a swimsuit. Shengzi, you are really useless! What kind of lady is this? You wouldn’t even bring Xiao Honglan. The one who came here brought her here. It’s not ordinary.”

“She is Lin Ruomeng.”

“Lin?” Uncle Pang choked, as if thinking of something. “It’s not that Lin, right?”

Lin Ruomeng had walked out of the bathroom, still a little awkward. I keep scratching my neck, as if something is holding her.

Luo Fusheng walked behind her, pulled two straps from her neck and tied them around her neck for her. “Tie it here to prevent the swimsuit from falling off during swimming.”

After speaking, they realized what he had said, and the two of them blushed even more. Separate like the overcharge.

Uncle Pang was still thinking about the problem just now, Luo Fusheng had already taken two scuba and swimming goggles and went out.

He taught her how to wear gear and how to scuba breathe underwater. Lin Ruomeng just remembered to ask. “Where are you taking me?”

“A secret base.”

“Why do you have so many secret bases? You said the same at the top of Qianyu Mountain.”

“I like going up to the mountains and down to the sea, can’t you? Just forget it if you don’t want to go.”

“Go and go. Why are you so stingy.”

The two of you talked to me and talked to each other, as if they hadn’t spoken so easily in a long time.

With a “plop”, the two got into the sea. Luo Fusheng swam to the south with a familiar road, Lin Ruomeng followed him.

The visibility of the sea water is less than 10 meters, and the light has begun to dim when it reaches more than 20 meters. Lin Ruomeng was a little scared, and the feeling of drowning when he was a child came up again. She threw herself up. Luo Fusheng swam back from the front and grabbed her hand.

He pointed two fingers to her eyes, then pointed to his face: looking at me.

Lin Ruo dreamed of that masquerade party, he also said to her in the same way: “You just have to look at me.”

She took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. The calm in his eyes made her no longer afraid. Luo Fusheng saw her mood stabilized, and slowly swam deeper with her one hand.

Suddenly a huge shadow appeared in front of him, too close to see everything. Only part of the steel can be seen, dark and indifferent.

Luo Fusheng took out the flashlight he had prepared in advance and turned it on, and the beam of light shot on this behemoth. Lin Ruomeng saw that it was a sunken ship.

They slowly entered the sunken ship from the tail and swam all the way. The place where the flashlight was shining slowly revealed its mystery. The cone-shaped beam of light cast a wonderful shadow on the water and all the objects in the completely black cabin . Occasionally, a fish can be seen slipping past quietly, and everything she can see is a thick layer. Sinking mud and rust.

Swim to a place that should be a cargo hold, you can see a box of wooden cargo boxes sunk in the hold, and the wood has corroded. You can only vaguely see the characters written in charcoal, not like Chinese. Luo Fusheng tapped his finger on the cargo box, motioning her to pay attention.

Moving on, they arrived in the cabin. They carefully walked through the rooms, and they could see some rusty iron bed frames and the like. The scary silence everywhere is the kind of silence enough to make you hear your heartbeat. Lin Ruomeng was wondering if the beam of light suddenly swept a dead person, and his heartbeat accelerated as he thought about it, and he was about to jump out of his chest, holding Luo Fusheng’s hand tighter. Luo Fusheng looked back at her, she shook her head and said it was okay. Fortunately, I did not encounter strange things all the way.

Occasionally I heard a “chuck” sound, it was a crab crawling over the iron bed frame. The mussel shells next to the coral slowly joined together, as if talking to her

Lin Ruomeng slowly relaxed and focused on watching the scenery. Excitedly pulled Luo Fusheng and pointed to the left and right. The excitement on his face was beyond words.

Finally swam to a hole near the front deck, Lin Ruomeng saw a dazzling beam of light projected from the hole. It is like a ladder to heaven, holy and yearning.

Luo Fusheng took her to swim out along the beam of light. Along the way, she could clearly see the red corals that covered the entire front deck, which were more than 1 meter in diameter, which was a large coral group. Countless unknown colorful fish reflect very dreamy colors under natural light. It’s like another world, a world only in legends.

So when she broke through the water, she was a little reluctant.

When the two floated on the water, Lin Ruomeng took off his goggles and pulled Luo Fusheng excitedly. “You know such a beautiful place!”

Luo Fusheng asked her while dragging her to the shore. “Do you know what it was just now?”

She shook her head.

“It’s a British opium merchant ship that was sunk.”

Luo Fusheng recalled the story when his father brought him here for the first time when he was a child.

There is a brush-long scar on his calf, which was scratched by the scrap iron on the ship when his father took him into the water for the first time.

He cried at that time and said never to go to that ghost place again. Father shouted at him. “This little hurt is crying. You are still not a man!”

“I wasn’t originally.” Xiaofusheng is not a reasonable child. He hasn’t been controlled by his mother since he was a child, and lives with his careless dad. He is wild. So he cried harder.

When my father saw that the coercion couldn’t be achieved, he tempted him. “Let me tell you a story.”

His father told him about the ship’s story: “During the Daoguang period nearly a hundred years ago, an imperial minister in the Qing Dynasty proposed an anti-smoking campaign. This minister expressed his grievances about Chen opium’s harm, and Emperor Daoguang was very satisfied. Order two The generals, governors, and governors of the eighteen provinces rigorously inspected the smoke. Once discovered, they were destroyed. This merchant ship was sunk when it was forced to enter the port.”

Lin Ruomeng listened carefully, and asked, “What then?”

Luo Fusheng asked his father the same way. “and then?”

“Then a hundred years have passed, and now it is the Republic of China. The smoke-free country proposed by the adult did not come true. Instead, opium erosion has become more and more serious. Silver has flowed out in large quantities. It won’t be long before those countries will buy machine guns and cannons with the silver in exchange for opium to attack us. This country gate will be guarded by us men in the future. So, Fu Sheng, do you want to guard this country gate with your father? ”

That’s what his father asked him back then. My father didn’t read much, but he knew the domestic political situation well. If his father had not passed away so early, he would be his best comrade-in-arms now.

“So, Ruomeng, I can’t promise you a future. My future has been promised to the country.” Luo Fusheng finally said this sentence.

Lin Ruomeng looked at him, but his eyes became softer and softer. “I know. From the shot you fired in Ningyuan, I know what you were doing. The newspaper president who died trumpeted that the outside world must be safe first, and the policy of’non-resistance’ against Japan was pursued. That cross The vice-chairman of the association put the money donated by the people to the army in his pocket, and he also deliberately delayed the delivery of medicine to the frontline fighters. The person in charge of Teco was even more straightforward and sold the Nanjing government’s spy intelligence to Japan. People, caused heavy losses to the intelligence personnel lurking in the Japanese army. If I am not wrong, they are all you, or Hong Gang assassinated.”

“Hong Zhengbao is a member of the army.” Lin Ruomeng said the final conclusion.

Responsible for assassinating reactionaries and traitors in the rear is a major task of the Kuomintang military reunification.

“You…” Luo Fusheng thought that maybe she could guess, but she didn’t expect that she would know so much. Even if Lin Daoshan is in an important position, he may not know such important information. How would she know.

“Because… I am guarding this country gate with you.” Lin Ruomeng’s hand was on the back of his hand.
