Chapter 21 The Death of Shen Zhongyuan's Study
The sound of the door outside the yard was getting more and more violent, and it was about to be knocked open. The people in the yard looked extremely nervous, and everyone's eyes looked at the door.
"It's too late!" Shen Zhongyuan felt that the crisis was right in front of him. The Japanese would not give them more time to prepare to leave, so he grabbed Shen Peiyun's hand, "Girl, you and Wang Si go to the study with me!"
Wang Si and Shen Peiyun looked at each other, then followed Shen Zhongyuan along the corridor and came to Shen Zhongyuan's study.
There are some bookshelves in the study, with many books and books piled up on them, which can be described as dazzling. It can be seen that Shen Zhongyuan is a book lover, and perhaps even from a scholarly family.
But these are not the focus at all now. The most important thing at this moment is how to get rid of the Japanese who have arrived outside the gate of the yard.
After Shen Zhongyuan entered the study room, he turned a pen holder 180 degrees on a summer vacation in front of him. He saw that the bookshelf in the study room separated from the middle, and then slowly pushed and pulled through both sides, leaving a passage in the middle that could pass the size of a person.
Wang Si and Shen Peiyun were both stunned. They never thought that since there was a unique world here, a small study room actually hid an underground passage under the secret wall.
"Dad, I kept playing here when I was a child, why didn't I find such a passage here?" Shen Peiyun was more surprised and couldn't figure out how many secrets her father had that she didn't know.
"This was prepared for our house owner to escape when the warlords fought in a melee. My father discovered this place by chance. He originally planned to break the city and leave here after the Japanese broke out, but later," Shen Zhongyuan briefly explained the origin of the passage, and then said to Shen Peiyun anxiously, "Stop talking about these things. This passage leads directly to the mountain temple outside the Xicheng Gate. You guys leave here quickly!"
"Dad, come with us. The Japanese are inhumane. They can do anything." Shen Peiyun heard what Shen Zhongyuan said, his eyes were filled with tears. He couldn't tell whether it was worried, afraid or reluctant. The feelings in his heart were very complicated, and it was difficult to explain or explain.
"Silly child, my father is the magistrate of Yuncheng County and the parents of hundreds of thousands of people. What should they do if my father leaves?" Shen Zhongyuan felt too much in his heart. No matter whether it was the responsibility, obligation or his conscience, he would not allow him to leave here and give up the people below him.
"Dad" Shen Peiyun's voice was a little hoarse and began to choke, as if he would never see Shen Zhongyuan again after leaving, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
"Go away!" There was another violent collision outside. Shen Zhongyuan pushed Shen Peiyun into the secret passage, and then said to Wang Si, "Boy, listen to me, and I will leave my daughter to you. If you let him suffer a little grievance, I will never let you go!"
"Does my case feed Mr. Shen?" Wang Si heard something wrong, and he looked like he was so tough that he was difficult. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, the other party ignored it.
When he was about to make it clear, he didn't expect that Shen Zhongyuan pushed him in, and then the bookshelf immediately merged from both sides, separating Wang Si and Shen Zhongyuan, just like they were split into two independent spaces in an instant, losing contact.
The sound of the call just circling in the dark aisle, dull but deafening. Just as Shen Zhongyuan said, this is a secret passage, a dark and unlit secret passage.
"Miss, let's go!" Wang Si said to Shen Peiyun on the side. He knew very well that it was worthless to stay here now, and Shen Zhongyuan would not be able to open this place to meet them again.
Shen Peiyun may also know this. She knew her father too well and could not pull back even eight horses. At this moment, all she could do was leave here with Wang Si, so she nodded.
Wang Si was worried that she was afraid, so he walked in front and explored her way, asking Shen Peiyun to follow him and walked towards him.
Only the sound of their breathing and the echoes left by their steps as they walked. Every time they took a step forward, the sound under their feet was magnified several times and slowly passed along the aisle.
The moment Shen Zhongyuan closed the bookshelf, he sat on the chair beside the desk, and used the brush on the table to write the big words "Since ancient times, no one has died, let the loyalty shine in history."
Before he put down the brush in his hand, Xiaodao rushed into the yard with his people, searched all the rooms in the Shen family's courtyard at once, and then came to the study and surrounded Shen Zhongyuan in the middle.
"Chen Sang, Commander Hashimoto asked you to visit the headquarters. Unexpectedly, Chen Sang left without saying goodbye. This seems a bit rude, right?" Kojima looked up at Shen Zhongyuan, and then said with a reproachful attitude.
"Hmph!" Shen Zhongyuan looked disdainful and threw the brush out of his hand, and then all his eyes focused on the big words he wrote.
At this time, a Japanese soldier found a piece of clothes full of blood and rags from Shen Peiyun's room, and took them to the island in time.
This dress was exactly the clothes Jiang Caidie wore when she came to the Shen family compound. Every torn mark and every blood stain on the clothes recorded the cruelty of the Japanese.
"Chen Sang, how do you explain this?" Xiaodao immediately walked to Shen Zhongyuan and questioned.
"Do I need to explain it? Every Chinese child should wear this bloody clothes and fight with the Japanese to the end!" Shen Zhongyuan immediately said to Xiaodao when he saw this bloody clothes.
Shen Peiyun has left Wang Si. He has no worries and will not take these Japanese devils seriously at all.
Anyway, the moment he stayed, he no longer planned to kill his life, otherwise he would not have been so happy to look at Xiaodao and poured out the words that had been buried in his heart for countless days.
"Baga!" Xiaodao could have heard something wrong with Shen Zhongyuan's words. When he looked at the big words on the table, he immediately realized that Shen Zhongyuan could no longer be used by them.
So Xiaodao roared and lifted up the big words on the table, tore it to pieces. When the paper residue fell from the air, Xiaodao had already raised the fourteenth southern part of his waist and aimed at Shen Zhongyuan's head.
With a "bang", Shen Zhongyuan fell on the table in an instant. Blood gushed out along the bullet holes on his forehead, covering the tabletop. The paper scraps slowly fell on his body, like June snowflakes, falling from the sky with the coldness.
