Chapter 229

Qiao ruochu's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and she asked palely, "Nanchang, is it very dangerous now?"

Yao Sitong didn't expect that she didn't ask Gu Jun what he meant at all. Instead, she kept in mind the safety of Lin Junmai, who was in the war zone. She didn't feel comfortable and felt that her trial just now was not candid.

"If at the beginning, after several losses, the national army had its own defense strategy, you can rest assured that commander Lin will be safe."

Qiao ruochu leaned down and didn't speak.

After a while, she felt less uncomfortable and said to the two old servants, "I'll see off the adjutant for a week."

Zhou Yucheng went through life and death for Lin Junmai for so many years. When he died, her husband didn't know how sad she was. She must do her best for him.

Yao Sitong took a look at the bottle and said, "wait until the bottle is finished, then go."

Qiao ruochu nodded, thanks her, and slightly closed his eyes.

Zhou Yucheng's wife, mengniang, is a strange woman, which Qiao ruochu knew for a long time.

However, when she went to the gate of the Zhou family and heard the singing inside, Qiao ruochu was still shocked and couldn't help herself.

"... there's not enough to say. Shen Xiang intermittent jade furnace cold, with my feelings like water. With the sound of the flute, Mei's heart is broken. How much spring is there. The wind drizzles, and the rain rushes down, and tears flow. When the flute player goes to the jade building, who will he lean with when his intestines are broken? "

Mengniang's singing voice is sentimental, like the broken jade of Kunshan mountain and the mourning of Phoenix. Qiao ruochu's internal organs outside the door all shed tears.

"Mrs. Lin is coming. Please come in."

When mengniang heard the knock on the door, she came out to open the door with her baby in her arms, with a polite smile on her face.

"I'll send Yucheng."

Qiao ruochu choked. She had a heart to return to mengniang and her son's smile, but the corner of her mouth was stiff.

The portrait of Zhou Yucheng is very young, in full bloom, with clean eyes. If he doesn't wear military uniform, he looks like a gentle young scholar.

"Adjutant Zhou." Qiao ruochu bowed in front of his photo, "you go well, Junmai and I will never forget you."

When Qiao ruochu's words fell, mengniang's two-year-old child suddenly burst into tears. His voice was earth shaking. After a few words, his voice became hoarse, but he still couldn't stop his momentum. He seemed to know that his father was gone, and he couldn't say it. He could only express his grief by crying.

Mengniang looked at her son crying, but she didn't coax him. She just stood beside him, as if he had settled down.

"Honey." Qiao ruochu picked up her little child. At this moment, she thought of Lin'an. The softest string in her heart was touched, and tears rolled down, "hold him quickly." She handed the child to mengniang.

"Mrs. Lin." Mengniang pushed the child back to Qiao ruochu's hand and dragged a chair over. "You sit down, I have an invitation."

Qiao ruochu listened to her tone and felt a bad premonition.

"Yucheng is gone, the child has no father, and I'm from brothel. I'm short-sighted, so it's hard to cultivate him well..."

"Sister mengniang, you can't have such a plan." Qiao ruochu knows where she is going

What to say next, she may have to entrust the child to her and die without any consideration“ The child is still so young. He is the flesh and blood of adjutant Zhou. You see, his eyebrows and eyes are so similar to his father. How can you have the heart to leave him Qiao Ruochuan felt dizzy and pressed mengniang's hand, "adjutant Zhou won't agree with you. Even if you meet in huangquan, he will blame you for your irresponsibility. Zhou's family has been handed down for generations. If the child should leave his parents... "Qiao ruochu said something serious. She absolutely can't watch mengniang leave her child and go with Zhou Yucheng.

"Ruochu." Mengniang smiles bitterly and shakes her head. She doesn't want to die for love. She entrusts her child to Qiao ruochu to avenge her husband on the battlefield.

Qiao ruochu has forgotten that when she was in the brothel, she was secretly trained by the secret service of Zhongtong. She was not an ordinary housewife.

"I'm going to the front." She can't restrain the hatred between the eyebrows, "how also want to revenge Yucheng."

"Mengniang, look at my current physical condition. Can I help you take care of your children?" Qiao ruochu unties his coat, revealing the clothes soaked in sweat

The doctor said it would take at least half a year to recover

"Then I'll send him to the orphanage." Mengniang said like she was angry.

If others say it, Qiao ruochu doesn't like it. However, the woman in front of her can do what she says. There's not much other people can do with her.

"Adjutant Zhou walked with his front foot, and you treated his flesh and blood with your back foot like this,... It's cruel." Qiao ruochu said feebly that she loved and hated mengniang.

"I can't swallow it."

"Aide Zhou's brothers, which one is not bloody, will avenge this sooner or later."

"I'm afraid that one day when the Japanese fight in Chongqing, I don't even have a chance to revenge. Instead, I will be slaughtered like a cud. I'm afraid that..."

Qiao ruochu didn't know whether he was scared by her words or because he was too weak. His pale face was instantly coated with a layer of wax yellow, and he quickly handed the child to the old maid. "Now that you have made up your mind, you can send the child to my home."

"Thank you."

On May 1st, it was a weekend. Qiao ruochu refused to listen to the doctor's advice and went out of the hospital. He stayed in bed in the Lin residence.

Zhou Yucheng's child was carried over by a rural nanny surnamed Yang in the Zhou family. She had nothing but a few sets of clothes and a wooden toy.

"Ma'am, please let me stay. This child has been with me since he was born, and there is no one in my family. I really can't bear him

After putting down the baby, the nurse knelt down in front of Qiao ruochu and begged tearfully. When she came, Meng Niang explained that Mrs. Lin didn't need a servant and gave her money to go back to the countryside.

She took the money from mengniang, but when she got to the Lin family, she couldn't get away from her children.

"Sister Yang." Qiao ruochu said with a smile, "even if you don't say it, I'll force you to stay. Mrs. Zhou is really confused. If she doesn't ask you to stay, can't she let me find another nurse for my child?"

Yang turned her tears into a smile, and said to Qiao ruochu, "my wife is really a Bodhisattva."

"Where is Mrs. Yang from?" Qiao ruochu chats with her. There is a new person in the family. He always asks for the details.

Yang Shi Leng for a while, low eyebrow says: "Sichuan Wanxian."

Qiao ruochu "Oh" should, just listen to her say that there is no one at home, it is not good to go deep and ask, "you can take care of the children at ease. Nothing else. " Yang immediately wrapped the child in a new strap, carried it on his back and took it to the living room to play.

Qiao ruochu looked at the strap on the child's body for a long time.

"Grandma, what are you looking at?" Asked the old servant curiously.

"Have you heard from abbess Miaoyi?" Qiao ruochu didn't answer the rhetorical question.

"No The old servant shook his head in distress.

"Go back and tell the master to send someone to Wanxian to look for it." Qiao ruochu said.

The old servant didn't understand, so he sighed and asked no more.

In the middle of the night on May 3, Qiao ruochu was awakened from his dream by a sudden alarm, and then earth shaking explosions and shouts came from all directions

Zhou Yucheng's children were scared to cry. Yang ran out barefoot and said with trembling lips, "madam, the Japanese dropped the bomb."

Air strikes.

Qiao ruochu woke up in an instant.

"Go to the basement."

After Lin bought the residence, Lin Junmai specially asked someone to build a basement. At that time, he had accumulated a lot of Antiquities and precious books, which could not be put in the study. Moreover, it was not safe to put them on the surface. For this reason, he built it.

The basement of the residence is very deep. When you enter it, you can hardly hear the explosion and crying outside. Qiao ruochu calms down for a moment and says to Yang: "you take the children to make a shop here. I'll go out for a while."

There was a lot of smoke outside, and it was billowing everywhere.

The Japanese planes covered the sky like bats, dropping bombs one by one madly. The sound of houses collapsing filled the eardrum. As soon as Qiao ruochu took a few steps, one ear was shocked out of blood, and it was wet inside.

Ignoring these, she ran to Dong yaoyan's house without knowing what to fear. When she didn't get to the place, she ran into Wei Hanmei, one hand holding Hu Hu, the other hand holding Mrs. Dong, shivering by the side of the road.
