Indiana Jones

Chapter 644 No turning back (04)

After coming back this time, Si Xuanyi deeply realized the difference between being in different camps. Whether it was Liang Wei or the woodcutter, they could no longer talk about everything like before. Although they could still work hard for a common goal, apart from Apart from this, everyone has become a little strange, and the reason why they can continue to cooperate is because the friendship tempered by blood and fire is still there, and the thing to do is simply to save people, not to conflict with each other. Faith, I don't know the point of turning against each other, but he also knows very well that as time goes by, everyone will gradually drift apart, and even if they don't become strangers in the end, it is impossible to return to the original state, which makes him feel a little bit worried. Li Siming is lonely in life. Although they are trying to find a way to save people, the gap between the two has become deeper and deeper. Now Liang Wei and the woodcutter are slowly developing in this direction. It can be said that everything is doomed , it's only a matter of time before they become strangers to each other...

The next afternoon, after a whole day of activities, Liang Wei finally met Li Siming. She went there with the attitude of advising Li Siming to cooperate with her superiors. Spy on them, so be careful what you say.

Li Siming's mental state is not bad. Although the so-called recuperation during this period is just a disguised detention, his physical state is constantly recovering, and his spirit is much better. It seems that he has not, because his situation has been greatly affected. As soon as she met Li Siming, she probably understood that Liang Wei would never just look at her, so she knew very well that there must be something hidden behind it, but it was inconvenient to ask directly.

"How is your body recovering?" Liang Wei put down the things in her hand, "I brought you some supplements, I hope it will help your recovery."

"I'm sick of my heart. It's useless to eat anything. In fact, I just want an explanation, but after I came back, they didn't let me see anyone. It's not easy for you to come." Li Siming said helplessly.

"Old friend, old partner, of course you have to come and see, but they don't allow it. In fact, we are in the same situation now, and I don't give you much freedom? My father persuaded me to go back and help him in business, and some old friends advised me not to be too Be strong, you have to go if you have to go, there is nothing to miss, this salary is not worth mentioning compared to freedom, besides, I am not sorry to anyone, they have no intention of letting us go, so I have to persuade Advise you, be more flexible, there is no need to be too entangled in some things, there are many things that people can't figure out in this world for a lifetime, too stubborn is not good for yourself, besides, will they give you a chance?"

Li Siming looked at Liang Wei, and indeed heard another meaning, but now he still doesn't quite understand what Liang Wei finally wanted to express: "I'm fine, and now I'm going to sleep when I'm full. I'm pretty solid, no matter how they deal with it Me, my heart will not change, I will always stick to my faith."

Liang Wei shook her head: "I believe in you."

Li Siming froze for a moment, shook his head and said that believing this is obviously irony. It seems that Liang Wei is still concerned about the people who watch them outside. Doesn't he want to stick to his beliefs?

Liang Wei also saw Li Siming's doubts: "What was your purpose of joining the army?"

"Defend the family and defend the country against the Japanese invaders." Li Siming replied without hesitation.

"What about the establishment of your faith?" Liang Wei asked again.

Li Siming was at a loss for words for a while, and he thought about it seriously: "Maybe it is the subtle training and education of the superiors in work and study, but although my beliefs have not changed, but... the image of institutions and departments is slowly collapsing in my heart, But I also know that it is normal to have problems, after all, where there are people, there will be fights, mistakes, and selfishness, and I believe that through unremitting efforts and correcting mistakes, we will eventually have a bright future."

"Hmm..." Liang Wei smiled and shook her head again, her expression seemed to disdain this idea, but she didn't say it out, "Compared to when we devoted ourselves to work before, now we have become idle, I really miss In the past, we didn’t have to think about anything except work, but now we have to think about how to survive. You are trapped in this investigation, and it’s not over yet, but the attitude of the above is already very disappointing , now there are different voices from the outside world, and the Central Committee is also trying to bring you down, so be flexible with your elm head, and don't get stuck." While speaking, Liang Wei grabbed Li Siming's hand and wrote in his palm Said, "Xuan Yi came back to save you."

After getting the news, Li Siming couldn't help but tremble. He was surprised by Si Xuanyi, and he dared to come back, and it was for himself. He had already made it clear at the beginning, why did he come back?Of course, he absolutely believed that Si Xuanyi could do such a thing.

"I don't need to, continue to stick to my beliefs, and my original intention remains the same. I have always been like this, it was like this before, it is now, and it will be in the future. No matter what wind, frost, rain or snow, he will not be shaken." Li Siming said firmly, "No matter what the people above For me, no matter what crimes are placed on me, it will not change my original intention, so I advise those people not to waste their efforts, regardless of life or death."

Li Siming's attitude was very firm, Liang Wei knew him well, at least let herself convey his attitude to Si Xuanyi.

"If you follow the instructions from above, there may still be a glimmer of life." Liang Wei continued to write in his hand while speaking, "The above has already begun to place charges, the purpose is to kill you, faith cannot save you, Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, live first before thinking about other issues, Sylphy risked his life for you, you have to be worthy of this friendship, at least save your life first, he has a way to get you out, don't disappoint this kindness."

"What is your belief and position? I think we are the same?" Li Siming looked at Liang Wei seriously, "Otherwise you wouldn't be here today."

"Yes, I don't believe in the Three People's Principles of course, and I am steadfast. Although I have suffered some setbacks at work, this will not affect my beliefs and positions." Liang Wei also expressed her attitude, "The above means let me persuade I advise you, don't be too stubborn, if you cooperate with the higher-ups, you might not have so many troubles, and our old superiors, including Director Mao, don't want to see you like you are now."

In fact, the key point of this sentence is the words of the old superior, Liang Wei, of course, is alluding to Si Xuanyi, but it is not convenient to say clearly, how smart Li Siming is, of course he knows what she means.

Li Siming smiled softly: "No matter what? I can't bear unwarranted charges. The reason why I came back as a deserter is to prove that I can die for my faith and never be a person who betrays my faith. I can say Worthy of the party-state, no matter how it looks from above? At least I don’t think I’ve done anything to betray the party-state, not under any circumstances. I’m going to sit here and wait to see what they do to me. You are me and I can still The best friend I met, I will not make any compromises in principle in order to survive, I hope you can understand."

Liang Wei finally understood that Li Siming's attitude was so firm that he couldn't change it. Regardless of whether Si Xuanyi came back or not, Li Siming had already faced everything that was about to happen with the determination to die, and even if it cost him his life, he didn't want to be a deserter.

"Go back, don't come again, let those people give up, take care of yourself, I can only say sorry to you, I haven't been able to take good care of you along the way, but it has caused you a lot of trouble." Li Siming said He wanted Liang Wei to stop trying to persuade him, and he didn't want her to take risks again and not come to him. As an old relationship for many years, he had to think about Liang Wei even if he didn't think about himself.

"You should think about it. After all, many people have worked hard for you. Don't let them down too much. They are old friends and old relationships. Our department fell apart and now there are only two of us. Although we are powerless to change the status quo, at least You should save your life in order to continue to serve the country and kill the enemy, and you should not live up to the cultivation of the party and the state, let alone the oath you made when you joined the army."

"My original intention has not changed, so don't talk about it anymore." Li Siming waved his hand, "I don't want to tear myself apart with you, take care of yourself, and don't worry about me."

Liang Wei's eyes were a little moist. She could feel that this might be the last meeting with Li Siming. This is indeed a stubborn guy who doesn't listen to anyone's advice. She thought that she could make some progress when meeting this time, at least let Li Siming be serious and careful Consider your own suggestions and ideas, or lay the foundation for the follow-up persuasion work, but this guy didn't give her a second chance at all, just kept his mouth shut, and even refused to meet her again. This can only explain one point, Li Siming has indeed made up his mind, no matter what the final outcome is, he does not intend to run away.

Compared with Si Xuanyi, Li Siming has figured out what he wants, and he also knows how to achieve it. Even if he is unable to recover, he will never look back. Maybe it seems a bit stupid to others, but he is really He insisted on what he wanted, he didn't hesitate in the face of life and death, he resolutely chose his belief, or he was a little paranoid, but this spirit is worth admiring.

Liang Wei tried to persuade him further, but Li Siming didn't listen at all, and told Liang Wei firmly that he would never compromise with anyone, and he would stick to his principles. He will admit that the higher-ups don't want to wrong him, even if they accuse him, he can't get a confession, he can't be tortured, he believes that one day it will be clear, and he will be innocent, and he will fight to the end with death.

Liang Wei finally understood that she just took away Li Siming's attitude this time, and she was sure that she couldn't convince him at all. No matter how much they struggled outside, this guy would not leave. It seemed that Si Xuanyi's plan was about to fail again. .

Liang Wei didn't want to leave. They really had no chance to meet. Li Siming said that even if Liang Wei could find a relationship, he would not see her again. Put yourself at risk.

After the farewell, Liang Wei didn't know how she went back. She kept thinking about Li Siming's resolute expression. From this expression, she could see that there seemed to be no hope for Li Siming's rescue.

Liang Wei met Si Xuanyi at noon the next day, and told the exact contents of the exchange with Li Siming.

"Too stubborn..." Si Xuanyi rubbed his temples, "We were trying hard to catch him, but he was there begging to die just to prove himself."

"He is just insisting on what he thinks is right, not really for the sake of death, but he feels that he will not hesitate to stick to his faith, even if it is death. It seems that even if we can figure out a way, he may not be able to go with you .” Liang Wei said.

"That's right..." Si Xuanyi shook his head, "Having known him for so long, this is the first time I realize how terrifying his stubbornness is."

"What are your plans?" Liang Wei asked!

"Have you read today's newspaper?" Si Xuanyi raised his head, "Even if we can't get him out, we have to save his life. We will use propaganda tools to create a glorious image of him, and completely wipe out the negative news." Press it down, let the military commander or the upper echelon have some scruples, as long as they don't dare to mess around easily, our goal will be achieved."

"It's not easy. You want to test the criticisms from all walks of life, so that the higher-ups think that this is a hero who cannot be touched lightly?" Liang Wei probably understood what he meant, "Aren't you afraid that the higher-ups will do their own way?"

"If the world shakes, they won't dare to come here." Si Xuanyi seemed quite confident about this.

"It would be great if we could save his life. If it's not possible, we shouldn't force it too much. As friends, we should give him enough respect. If we force it, what is the difference from those who framed him in the military?" Liang Wei said .

"You gave up so soon?" Si Xuanyi asked.

"It doesn't matter, let it go or not? I just feel that he is no longer the partner we can control. It was the most difficult period we have endured together. Who would have thought that he would come to where we are today? It can really be counted. The world is falling apart." Liang Wei's eyes dimmed, "We wanted to get him out, but he didn't think so, I'm very confused now, should we let him live, or respect the path he chose? If we want to survive, we have to force him to do something she doesn't want to do, if we respect him, then don't we have to watch him being persecuted?"

"Actually, I've always struggled with this matter. I also thought about snatching him back. No matter what he decides, we will save his life first. But in this case, if he doesn't want to leave, I really can't force it. If he really doesn't cooperate, we'll be wasting our lives for nothing." Si Xuanyi was also quite helpless, "But we can't just let him go, don't ask..."
