Our Time: Unswerving until Death

Chapter 77
He Qi simply packed up a few clothes, and went out with Qian Xuan in the dark. When they arrived at the alley, they vaguely saw a person nestled in the corner sheltering from the wind. It turned out to be Old Wu pulling a cart.

After the opening of "Heqizheng", there are a lot of people coming and going every day, and there are many dignitaries and celebrities in the society, who are not short of money, so it is logical that it has become a place for many carts to pick up jobs. Old Wu I also found this business opportunity, and parked the car in the open space at the entrance of the chess hall when I was not working.

He Qi was deeply impressed by Lao Wu's return of the excess fare money, so he took Lao Wu's car every time he went back and forth.

In October of the lunar calendar and November of the Gregorian calendar, the morning in the north is already very cold, and you can see it clearly when you breathe outside. After all, the chartered carts are not like the scattered carts. Old Wu had a car, and it was very cold, and there were few scattered cars on the street, so He Qi had no choice but to share a car with Qian Xuan.

From Dongjiaomin Lane to Zhengyangmenwai Railway Station, the distance is not short. Even if there are two people, Lao Wu pulls it quickly and steadily. When he reaches the ground, he is already sweating profusely. Beads of sweat flow from his chin Drip straight down.

Old Wu took off his outer jacket and put it on the handlebars of the car, steaming all over his body, saying that he would not accept the money for this job, wiped the sweat from his head and said: "Mr. is going to win glory for the country, I am alone There's nothing the old man can do, I'll just see you off, and I'll pick you up when you come back after defeating the Dongyi people in Shanghai."

"I accept the favor, but I have to pay the fare. If you really win this trip to Shanghai, you can pick it up again, and I promise not to give you the fare next time." He Qi smiled and felt warm in her heart. He decisively threw the fare money into the carriage, turned around and entered the station. The simple old Wu took the money and stubbornly chased outside the station, but failed to catch up.

This is the first time that China has held an international sports event. Although the official does not pay for it, it still pays attention to it. In the past few days, major newspapers have published relevant reports on the "Far East Games", such as the construction of the stadium and the competition items. The setting and appointment of judges were vivid and detailed, and became a hot topic among people all over the country for a while.

In the summer of [-], "Shenbao" published an article titled "The Herald of the Huaxia Sports Conference", which mentioned the famous "Three Questions about the Olympics", that is, "When can China send representatives to the World Games?" ?When will the World Games be held in China? When will the World Games be held in China?
Five years later, the "Shenzhen" reported: "The Far East Games will be held in Hongkou Target Garden in Shanghai. There will be programs such as running, jumping, swimming, football, and boy scout exercises. At that time, there will be thousands of athletes competing on the same field. People from all over the world came to watch, this is a spectacle that has never been seen in the Shanghai stock market since ancient times, and even in the history of China."

"Ta Kung Pao" published on the front page: "The national strength is struggling, family affairs are unfortunate, and everything is difficult. On this occasion, I wish my Chinese athletes, bravely crown the three armies, and sweep away the fatigue. I hope you can go forward bravely and build my Chinese spirit."

The end of the year is approaching, and the station has a lot of traffic. Recently, there has been a wave of people going to Shanghai to watch the sports meeting. At Zhengyangmen Railway Station in the early morning, the first train bound for Pingjin has not yet arrived, but waiting for the train The room is already full of people.

As soon as He Qi and Qian Xuan came in, they saw a large group of people gathered at the door of the waiting room, holding up a striking banner: "I wish the national players He Qi and Gu Rushui to go out for the country and continue their success!"

"Huh!"

He Qi took a closer look and saw that they were all old acquaintances. The representatives of the northern chess players were basically here. The old Mr. Wang Yunfeng with a big white beard took the lead to see them off at the station. Brother Xun and Gu Rushui were talking to them. something.

"Here we come! We come!" In the crowd, Duan Junliang shouted toward the entrance.

He Qi approached and greeted everyone.

Old Mr. Wang Yunfeng took out a small gift box wrapped in silk cloth with a red Chinese knot tied on it, handed it to He Qi, and said: "Mr. Yubai, please accept a little gift from me on behalf of the Beiping Weiqi world. Call from the south, the two gentlemen went to the Shanghai stock market, and all expenses will be borne by them."

Afterwards, Mr. Wang looked at He Qi and Gu Rushui, and shouted in full spirit: "I wish the two gentlemen will go out for the country this time, to climb the peak again, to win great achievements, and to set a precedent in China's Go."

Liu Dihuai and the others roared loudly: "I wish the two gentlemen will go out for the country this time, and climb the peak again, win great achievements, and set a precedent in China's Go."

Wherever the loud voice passed, the eyes of others were drawn in salvo, and when they looked at the banner held high, they understood everything and gathered around to watch the excitement.

It has to be said that this expedition ceremony was simple but not ordinary. Holding the gift box, He Qi was overwhelmed with emotion, and at the same time, he and Gu Rushui bowed and bowed to the sender, shouting: "We will live up to our trust. "

Old Mr. Wang stroked his beard and smiled gratifiedly: "I am waiting in Beiping, waiting for the success of the two gentlemen."

The train of time, blowing black smoke, rumbled away, bringing a piece of hope and taking away a piece of sustenance at the same time, He Qi stood at the aisle of the train, waving goodbye to the people who were seeing off on the platform .

Gradually, the platform became smaller and smaller, the figures became blurred, and Beiping became behind us. People have to walk all kinds of roads in their life. Some roads are very spacious, but they lose their direction when walking. ; and some roads are extremely rugged, and you can persist for a long time even if you walk on it with your teeth gritted.

He Qi looked back at the way she came, and unknowingly, she embarked on a road that she had never imagined. The smooth and rough road coexisted. Unknowingly, she carried the sustenance of many people on her body. .

Although He Qi knew nothing about the opponent's situation and had no confidence in winning or losing, the people behind her were always encouraging, believing and supporting her, which gave He Qi extraordinary courage to surpass and conquer.

At noon, the train arrived in Pingjin, and then it was necessary to change to a train, go south along the Jinpu Line, to the North Pukou of Jinling River, and then change to the Shanghai train, but on the way to change, an unexpected person appeared.

Due to the large number of people going to Shanghai to watch the sports games, the Jinpu Line specially added three trains to Jinling every day. When He Qi and others arrived in Pingjin, the first train tickets were not available, so they had to wait for two o'clock in the afternoon. While waiting in the waiting room for the second train, a chubby figure suddenly appeared in front of He Qi.

Chrysanthemum was wearing a military uniform, and his fat body walked vigorously. He sat down on the wooden bench next to He Qi, and the rickety bench almost fell apart. Then he took off his hat, while Fanning the wind, he said out of breath, "Those who ride on horses every day, labor and capital can be regarded as catching up."

Everyone was full of doubts about Ju Chang's arrival, especially Qian Xuan and Brother Xun, their hearts were raised in their throats, otherwise how could they chase them to Pingjin in person? Are you going back to Peking?"

Ju Chang said in a rough voice: "What the hell, if labor and capital want to arrest you, can you still come to Pingjin?"

After saying this, everyone was relieved, He Qi swallowed her saliva and asked curiously: "Then why are you chasing after me?"

After resting for a while, Ju Chang took out a dozen pieces of paper from his body, slapped them on He Qi's hands, and said: "Laozi sent you something, it took a lot of effort, I don't know if there is any Use it, figure it out for yourself."

As soon as He Qi opened it, she found that it was a chess record, and hurriedly asked, "Whose is it?"

The Dongyi people's name is hard to pronounce, Ju Chang was too lazy to read the full name, and said: "The two Dongyi people who want to play chess with you."

He Qi exclaimed: "Hirase and Iwamoto Kaoru, where did you get it?"

Ju Chang said with a straight face: "How did labor and capital get here? I still want to tell you?" Then he stood up, took out a cloth bag from his pocket, and threw it on the bench. Eyeballs as big as copper bells stared at He Qi and Gu Rushui and said: "This is donated by our police department. When you two go to the Shanghai stock market, you should eat and spend money. Don't worry about money.

"What the hell, a person depends on a face, and a tree depends on a skin."

"You two have to work hard, try to get rid of those two Dongyi people, and get rid of one at the worst."

"Did you hear that?"

The heart is kind, but this method is different from ordinary people, He Qi and Gu Rushui laughed in unison: "Okay!"

Ju Chang grinned, and then turned to leave the train station, but the hill-like figure was still in front of everyone's eyes.
