For young people, rebellion is the most interesting and even the trendiest thing to do. It has become a way for them to express dissatisfaction and seek excitement. Xiao Yun, as a survivor of the Showa Dynasty, cannot let others know about her identity, yet she still joins a local resistance organization in Xiyue City.
In Xiyue City, Xiao Yun carefully hides her true identity. She understands that once exposed, both she and her foster parents will face great danger. Nevertheless, she actively participates in resistance activities, eager to contribute to the overthrow of Yang Hao's tyranny. The local resistance organization is small in scale, but its members are filled with passion and determination. They secretly plan small-scale actions, distribute flyers opposing the court, and incite public discontent.
The leader of this resistance organization is Wong Ji, a private tutor in Xiyue City. On the surface, Wong Ji appears to be an elegant teacher, but secretly he is a wise and courageous rebel. He skillfully uses his identity to disguise his true intentions and influences the younger generation through his teaching activities, inspiring their spirit of resistance.
Recently, Wong Ji brought exciting news. At a secret meeting, Wong Ji, looking serious yet excited, announced to everyone, "Everyone, we have made contact with the Red Flame Army!"
Upon hearing this news, the members of the organization showed a glimmer of hope in their eyes, igniting a new sense of optimism within them. The Red Flame Army had gained a formidable reputation in the resistance movement and was regarded as the most powerful force of opposition. Establishing contact with them meant that the resistance activities in Xiyue City would receive greater support and guidance.
Wong Ji continued, "We need everyone to remain vigilant and act cautiously. There will be a secret meeting at the shrine outside the city tomorrow night to discuss our next steps. This meeting is crucial, so please make sure to attend."
Xiao Yun felt both excited and nervous. This was a rare opportunity; she longed to meet more like-minded individuals and hoped to contribute more to the resistance movement. However, she also understood that this gathering could be fraught with danger, and any small mistake could lead to fatal consequences.
The night before the gathering, Xiao Yun sat by the window of her small village, gazing at the distant lights of Xiyue City, her mind racing with thoughts. She knew that her fate was already tightly intertwined with this resistance movement. No matter how difficult the road ahead might be, she would resolutely continue on, for her family and for that complex figure—Thirteen—that lingered in her heart.
Xiao Yun sat by the window, gazing at the lights of Xiyue City in the distance, her mind filled with countless thoughts. Unknowingly, she fell into memories of the past. The rain, blood, mud, her grandfather Xia Po, and that man named Shisan—his cold eyes held a hint of warmth.
That night lingered like a nightmare that refused to fade. She vaguely remembered her grandfather Xia Po's helpless and unwilling expression as he lay in a pool of blood, and Shisan's hesitation at that moment followed by his decisive action to save her. Shisan's shadow flashed in her mind; he was both an enemy and a benefactor, and this complex emotion made it difficult for her to let go.
At that moment, a small stone gently tapped against the window, making a faint sound. Xiao Yun suddenly came to her senses, got up, and opened the window, seeing Guo Sheng grinning as he hid in the nearby bushes, waving at her.
Guo Sheng was a friend she had met in Xiyue City and a member of the resistance organization. He was a few years older than Xiao Yun, with a cheerful personality and always wearing an optimistic expression, as if nothing could ever bring him down. Guo Sheng was skilled in stealth and reconnaissance, often responsible for gathering intelligence and monitoring enemies for the organization.
Xiao Yun nodded, quickly put on her coat, and walked to the window on tiptoe. She didn't want to disturb her Foster parents, so she carefully climbed out the window and silently made her way to the bushes. When Guo Sheng saw her coming out, a relaxed smile appeared on her face, and then she whispered, "Hurry, we need to go to the meeting."
Xiao Yun nodded in understanding and followed Guo Sheng through the dark corners of the village to a forest outside the village. There, another young woman - Lian Rong - was already waiting for them.
Lian Rong is another member of the resistance organization. She is clever and decisive. Seeing Xiao Yun and Guo Sheng approaching, she whispered, "We need to hurry, Teacher Wang is already waiting for us in the ancestral hall."
The three quickly made their way through the woods to the ancestral hall outside the village. It was rarely visited, making it an ideal location for their secret gatherings. Upon entering the hall, they saw Wong Ji already waiting inside, wearing a serious and expectant expression on his face.
Wong Ji nodded to them, gesturing for them to sit down, and then began to speak about the latest news: "Everyone, we have finally made contact with the Red Flame Army. This is our opportunity, but it is also filled with danger. We must proceed with caution and not act recklessly."
Xiao Yun and the other members listened attentively, filled with hope and determination. She knew that this gathering would be a crucial turning point for the resistance movement, perhaps a key moment in overthrowing Yang Hao's tyranny.
Wong Ji continued, "The Red Flame Army will be coming here in the next few days to carry out an operation. They plan to sabotage the recently purchased ships at the harbor. But before the operation, we need to transport a batch of explosives to the fish market to facilitate the infiltration on that day."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads, feeling an invisible pressure and fear in their hearts. This mission was extremely dangerous; not only did they need to avoid patrolling guards, but they also had to ensure that the transportation process went unnoticed by others. Any slight oversight could lead to total failure, even exposing and destroying the entire organization.
Xiao Yun felt a wave of tension in her heart. She knew the importance of this mission and understood that it was a huge test. She glanced at the Guo Sheng and Lian Rong beside her, both wearing equally serious expressions. The Guo Sheng furrowed his brow, clearly pondering how to complete the mission, while Lian Rong appeared somewhat anxious, unconsciously clutching at his clothes.
Wong Ji scanned the room and, seeing everyone's reactions, spoke with a hint of gravity in his tone: "I know this mission is extremely dangerous, but we have no choice. If we succeed, it will be a heavy blow to Yang Hao's tyranny and will greatly boost morale for the resistance movement. This is a responsibility we must bear."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yun took a deep breath, stood up, and said firmly, "I am willing to participate in this mission."
Guo Sheng and Lian Rong looked at Xiao Yun in surprise, but then their faces also showed a determined expression. Guo Sheng patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder, stood up, and said, "I will participate too."
Lian Rong Looking at them, he finally nodded and stood up, saying, "I won't back down either."
Wong Ji Watching these three young people, a hint of relief and heaviness flashed in his eyes. He knew that these young people were the future of the resistance movement, and their courage and determination would lead everyone to victory. But this path was filled with countless dangers and sacrifices.
"Very well," Wong Ji said in a deep voice, "the three of you will form a small team responsible for transporting the wildfire. I will arrange the route and cover for you. Remember, you must be careful and absolutely not expose yourselves."
