Chapter 1 The Ice City at Night
The biting cold wind rolled the snow and howled across the city.

This is [-].

The entire ice city was filled with an atmosphere of uneasiness. The Japanese were surrendering and retreating.The people in the whole city would not dare to go out to the streets as soon as it was dark, and they would push up the doors tightly with hard wooden bars, and the whole family stayed in the house carefully, not even daring to make a loud noise while panting.

The street under the night is covered with snow, and the street lamps glow faintly.Occasionally, cars or tanks pass by on the street, leaving a strong smell of gasoline in the rumbling noise.

"Creak creak creak creak creak" With a heavy panting sound, a rickshaw trotted down the street. The driver's heavy steps stepped on the snow, and the snow made a sound like toothache.

"Master, we're here, it's here." The coachman kicked his feet forward, supported the handlebars with both hands, skating for a short distance, and stopped the car steadily, with white steam under the dog lint hat on his head. Steam out.

The person sitting in the car looked around, got out of the car with his legs up, and took out money from his pocket. The driver said with a smile on his back, "Master, do you have legal currency? The full circle is not easy to use." , can't buy anything. You keep waiting."

The person in the car looked around, smiled, and said: "You are in Salem, and the little Japanese just ran away and you will collect French currency." He exchanged money in his hand.

The coachman took the money, looked at it by the light of the street lamp, carefully unbuttoned the skirt of his clothes, put the money in his pocket, buttoned it up, and said: "It turns out that the French currency is accepted here in Little Japan, let us spend it. Yingyang, Yuan Datou has Hong Kong dollars, North Korean bank notes, and the Japanese also spend them themselves. Sometimes you can see Vietnamese money.”

The person in the car stretched his hands and feet. In this cold weather, the person in the car was colder than the one in the car, and his feet were a little stiff. While moving, he asked, "Has there ever been a Zhonglian coupon issued here?"

The coachman shook his head and said, "No, but, these days, they have been clamoring for the use of Zhonglian coupons, saying that those things are not considered money."

The driver in the car tightened his skirt, and asked again: "Have you seen the military ticket?"

The coachman shook his head again: "I haven't seen it before. What is a military ticket? Sir, you can't compare you with us. We are so miserable. We've been living here for the rest of our lives, and we don't have much knowledge."

The driver in the car shook his head and said: "It's okay. It seems that Little Japan is really good to the Northeast. It hasn't even issued a military ticket here. You guys are lucky. The Guanli ruined the family of Little Japan's military ticket pit." Are there still fewer? That’s enough, you can come back if you are in the dark, I’m here.”

The coachman said cautiously: "Master, are you going to come back soon? If so, I'll wait here. It's not easy to call this car in the dark. You can't walk back later, sir? Hehe."

The driver in the car thought for a while and said, "That's fine. If you're not afraid of the cold, just wait here. I'll go in and find someone." Pulling the padded robe on his body, he walked into the alley, and the driver shouted from behind: " Lord, if you need something, just say hello, I'm right here."

The alley is dark, but fortunately it is winter, and there are still things to see in the snow without bumping into them.Going in along the alley, I came to the door of a house. The driver in the car took a closer look and confirmed that it was the third from the bottom, so I raised my hand and knocked on the door.

"Who?" A man's voice came from the door.

"Hongyazi, brother, I'm here to see you."

The wooden door opened, revealing a thin face wearing glasses. The man in the car was rude and stepped into the yard. The man with glasses closed the door, stuck it to the door and listened for a while, then walked into the yard and said: "Go inside and talk."

Two people entered the house.

This house is not small, with three main rooms and two wing rooms on the side, and the rice barn is complete.

The man wearing glasses led the driver into the west room of the main room. The kang was very hot and the room was steaming. The driver took off his cotton cap and stretched out his right hand to the man wearing glasses: "Hello, Comrade Hua Qi , I am He Zishan, and I am here to visit you on behalf of the organization."

The man wearing glasses, Comrade Hua Qi put away the pistol in his hand, and reached out to hold He Zishan together: "It's hard work. In such a cold day, you have suffered a lot on the road, right?"

He Zishan said: "The little devil has surrendered. The liberation of the whole country is just around the corner. The good days are coming soon. Can you suffer for a few more days? It's worth it. The organization is just worried about your situation, so I sent me to take a look. I want to ask Hua Comrade Qi, your opinion, should you stay in the ice city or go to the liberated area behind. We respect your opinion."

Comrade Hua Qi thought for a while and said: "I'd better go home. I haven't been back for more than ten years now. After liberation and stability, I can just live a peaceful life at home. Is it okay?"

He Zishan smiled and said, "Sure, why not. Comrade Hua Qi's hometown is Andong Province, right?"

Comrade Hua Qi said: "Zhuanghe, the code for connecting Hongyazi is the old name there, and no one calls it that way now."

He Zishan asked: "Comrade Hua Qi, is there anyone else in his hometown? Do we need to arrange it in life?"

Comrade Hua Qi said: "Yes, the old house is still there, and my younger brother's family is still living there, and they can still communicate. I usually send money back."

He Zishan said: "That's good, it's even better to have relatives around, so we can rest assured. Liberation, family reunion, how wonderful."

Comrade Hua Qi said: "Is there any problem with the composition of my brother's family?"

He Zishan said: "No problem, don't worry about this, we also treat it differently, that is, the land must be owned by the state, and the house is still your own. After all, it is not realistic to be a landlord now, so please Comrade Hua Qi I understand. Of course, according to your special situation, Comrade Hua Qi, the country will have corresponding policies, so you can rest assured."

Comrade Hua Qi asked: "Then when can we leave?"

He Zishan said: "Don't worry, your situation is a bit special, you know, we have to make sure everything is safe. Your family will be wronged here for a few days, and you can leave on the ninth day at the latest, okay?"

Comrade Hua Qi nodded, and said: "Yes, I believe in the organizational arrangements. It's just a child, so I can't stay at home every day, making a fuss, haha."

He Zishan asked: "Comrade Hua Qi is his son, right? How old is he?"

Comrade Hua Qi said: "Yes, boy, he is already 13 years old and still in school. By the way, back there, is there a way for the child to go to school?"

He Zishan said: "I don't know much about this, but now the whole Northeast is resuming work and classes, I think there should be no problem. At that time, if you have any opinions, you can raise them with the local comrades, and there will be dedicated comrades to deal with your matter. Don't worry, our original promise to you will never change."

Comrade Hua Qi nodded: "That's good, that's good. I'm not really worried, I still believe in the organization."

Soon, He Zishan left, got into the rickshaw that had been waiting at the street and left.

A few days later, a black car stopped at the entrance of the alley, and the three members of Comrade Hua Qi's family got into the car with their suitcases, and the car drove south through the snow.
