After the hundreds of students in the tour group took the oath, they embarked on a journey to Kunming, Yunnan. Lin Huajun left a letter and left without saying goodbye. From the letter, Ye Runqing and Bi Yunxiao learned that she had returned to Peiping to visit her sick mother and would not go to Kunming with them. In February 1938, the tour group set off from Changsha, Hunan, passed by Dongting Lake by boat, and arrived in Yiyang, Hunan, officially starting the walking tour. Wen Jie offered to help Wen Yiduo carry the luggage, but Wen Yiduo couldn't resist him, so he had to give him the luggage. The professors were having fun, and Wen Yiduo suggested that they move all the way south and teach all the way, and the students were very happy. After a day of walking, the tour group took a rest overnight at Changde Junshanpu. The place was dilapidated and the food was not good. Cheng Jiashu had a bad face.
Zeng Zhaolun tidied up the soil on the soles of his shoes, and also played quizzes with other professors with great interest, which was considered a joy in bitterness. Wen Jie specially prepared a comfortable bed for Mr. Wen Yiduo to sleep in, but Wen Yiduo wanted to sleep in the same bunk with everyone. The reason is that I am an ordinary member of the tour group, so I can't be special. Someone just came and said that the room arranged for the teacher is next door. Wen Yiduo went there with a suitcase. Ye Runming wrote a diary late at night, recording the journey and experiences along the way. Many students had blood blisters on their feet due to lack of experience in long-distance walking. Cheng Jiashu was one of them, and Shuangxi kindly picked up the blisters for him. The environment is poor and there are many fleas. These fleas bite regardless of teachers and students.
The next day, Huang Shiyue asked them to report the number. Some students were weak and their standing posture was not standard. Huang Shiyue yelled a few words, and they corrected their attitude. The teachers and students walked all the way, learning as they went, from the types of vegetation to the types of stones, there were teaching materials everywhere. When Lin Huajun returned to Peiping, she learned from Zhou's mother that her mother had been in the hospital for several days. The outside of Cheng's house is guarded by Japanese troops. Cheng Jiashu and the others saw the strong man being abused on the road, and couldn't help but speak out to dissuade them, and almost clashed with the officers and soldiers. Later, Huang Shiyue came to mediate the conflict, and Cheng Jiashu and Ye Runming reported to Huang Shiyue that the officers and soldiers forcibly recruited strong men and abused their compatriots, but Huang Shiyue didn't take it seriously.
Ye Runming expressed his feelings and wrote down his feelings in his notebook. At the same time, he couldn't understand that these people were already impoverished, but they still had to suffer from their own compatriots. equality. Cheng Jiashu leaned over to read what he had written, and expressed his opinion on the matter. The food was gone, so he had to go to the town to solve the food problem. Ye Runming lied that he was not hungry, but his stomach rumbling in the next second exposed his lie. Shuangxi and Cheng Jiashu saw a chicken in the woods. They were very imaginative and discussed how to make the chicken delicious. Ye Runming reminded them that the chicken belonged to the common people and they were still waiting for the chicken to lay eggs. It's fun to watch.
Walking out of her mother's ward, Cheng Jiawen reassured Lin Huajun not to worry, she should listen to Lin's mother and go back to study, but Lin Huajun no longer plans to study. It rained heavily for several days and the car sank into the mud. The students worked together to help the car get out of trouble. Cheng Jiashu wondered why he insisted on walking to Kunming to prove that they were not frail scholars in the ivory tower. Ye Runming said something, which made Cheng Jiashu look up to him again. Lin Huajun went to visit Cheng Daoxiang in the Cheng family's new residence. She learned from Zhou's mother that the property and residence of the Cheng family were occupied by the Japanese. Traitor, running dog. Cheng's mother asked about Cheng Jiashu's situation, and Lin Huajun told the truth.
