Chapter 232

"That's a lie. If I don't come here by myself, you don't know to send someone to pick me up. " With that, Qiao ruochu wanted to pull his ear, thinking that there was someone nearby, he had to push him away with feigned anger.

Lin Junmai, with a simple smile, carried her on his shoulder and walked towards the barracks.

On the way, when they meet their subordinates, they turn red. Their commander looks like a lion on the battlefield. When he sees his mother-in-law, he becomes a young man with a dull head. What a shame.

As soon as he entered the room and closed the door, Lin Junmai put her on a simple wooden bench and asked softly and eagerly, "is it OK? Which ear was pierced by the shock? "

"You know that."

"Well. My people don't do a good job. They don't protect you. Wait. Next time they bump into me, bang, they'll take it out on their wife. "

When Qiao ruochu was hurt by Xu Zhenxi, he was furious. If it wasn't for the war in Nanchang at that time, he had to go to Chongqing to chop up the unprotected rubbish.

"Don't blame them. I was careless. "

Lin Junmai dragged his big hand over her back and said, "ruochu, you don't know. I've been blaming myself for this for a long time. Let me see where I hurt myself at night."

"Junmai." Qiao ruochu blushed for a moment. He didn't have the heart to savor his words. Instead, he solemnly looked in his eyes and said, "my mother died at the end of April."

There was a moment of silence.

Lin Junmai wrinkled a light "Sichuan" on his forehead, took out a yellow letter from his pocket, and said sadly, "more than half a year ago, she sent it to me. The letter said that she was healthy, so I don't want to worry about it,... Why didn't I expect that, after a few years, she suddenly wrote to our army,... Alas..."

Qiao ruochu looks at the misty handwriting of abbess Miaoyi on the envelope, and estimates that when she wrote to her son, she was already dying.

"Jun Mai, I beg your pardon. My father and I, considering that you were fighting in the front line, were afraid that you could not stand it and did not dare to tell you. " She choked and clenched her husband's hand, trying to comfort him, "you also said, when the country is in crisis, loyalty and filial piety can not be both."

At the end, her voice was so small that she could hardly hear herself, and her tears came down. She regretted that she had not found the magic instrument earlier

Where the Abbess is, she can no longer do half of her daughter-in-law's filial piety.

Lin Junmai didn't say a word. He took out a neatly folded cotton gray handkerchief to wipe her tears. His hand was shaking. She could feel it.

"In the evening, let's burn some paper money for my mother and kowtow." Qiao ruochu cried for a while and said intermittently.

"No need. The family is empty. " Lin Junmai collected the last letter from abbess Miaoyi and said in a deep voice, "the dead are gone." After that, he took Qiao ruochu and kowtowed three times in front of the statue of abbess Miaoyi in his room.

"The ashes are in Chang'an temple for the time being, and my father often goes to see them."

"Don't mention him to me." Lin Junmai's tone of voice still has hatred for Shen Runan.

Qiao ruochu stopped talking.

Lin Junmai did not speak, and his brows were filled with unspeakable sorrow.

In the evening, the adjutant bought some food from the restaurant outside. Lin Junmai checked it and pushed it to Qiao ruochu: "have something to eat and have a rest."

He took out a cigarette to light it. When Joro first saw that he was smoking local cigarettes instead of the imported cigars he used to smoke, he quickly dug out the foreign cigars she had brought home from her luggage and said, "here you are." Lin Junmai was stunned for a while, and there was a little clear smile in his star eyes: "if I remember correctly, this is the first time that my wife bought me cigarettes."

Qiao ruochu put the cigarette box into his pocket, turned away from him and said, "the cigarette you smoke now doesn't smell good."

"Is it?" Lin Junmai sniffed the smell of his body, but it was not as refreshing as before. "Oh, it's hard to buy a cigar once Chongqing is blocked. If you don't go to Switzerland, send me one every month? "

Shen Yue and Lin an have settled down in Switzerland. Shen Lunan has written several times to send Qiao ruochu to Chongqing, so that she will not face endless air raids all day long.

Lin Junmai did not have this plan, but he knew Qiao ruochu too well and knew that she would not leave. But he did not give up.

"I'm not going." Qiao ruochu was adamant, "Europe is full of smoke now, can Switzerland avoid the attack of Germany? I don't think so. I'm afraid, I want to stay in China, you protect me. "

"All right, if you don't go, don't go." Lin Junmai used chopsticks to clip out the red pepper in the dish, "just give me another son, this time you can't take it away privately."

Last time she secretly went out to study abroad, which made him unable to take care of her pregnancy and give birth to a son. It also made him and Lin an separated from his father and son so far. He thought of it with deep regret.

"I'm sorry, Junmai. I misunderstood you then." Qiao ruochu's eyes were red, and his tears almost came down again.

At that time, she never thought that the country suddenly fell into war, and that the war was so desperate and cruel that he and she would never settle down again.

Lin Junmai didn't speak. He leaned over to look at her face. Suddenly his eyes became blurred. Qiao ruochu closed his eyes and felt his kiss fall on her forehead. He slipped away to the tip of her nose and cheek, and stopped rolling on her lips. She raised her head and stuck it up. Her heart beat fast. "Hold me tight." She said

A few days after her arrival, Lin Junmai took her around Yichang city. There was no war here for the time being. It was still a peaceful place full of people and prosperous scenery.

"The wife here is average, much better than Chongqing." Qiao ruochu sighed and complained that he didn't pick her up earlier. "Why don't you pick me up earlier? You don't care about my safety at all." She kept on criticizing him.

Lin Junmai patiently received her complaints, but he didn't say a word with a smile. Tang Gu's adjutant with him was full of all kinds of small things, including food, play and so on.

"It's not that the commander doesn't want to take his sister-in-law over. He's afraid that the Japanese army in Wuhan will suddenly attack Yichang. He can't choose between Jiangshan and Meiren." Tang Gu joked.

He has always been a man of few words. For the first time, Qiao Ruo heard him make fun of Lin Junmai. The reason he was looking for was really like that. When he was angry, he shook Lin Junmai's hand and said, "return the country and beauty. When you are an emperor, you are a disgusting Qiu ba."

"Ruochu," Lin Junmai flicked her head with his fingers and made her tickle with a smile, "you believe this boy's words."

She looked at Tang Gu and saw that he was smiling at him. She knew that he was just talking nonsense, but she was really stupid.

"Then why on earth didn't you pick me up?" Qiao ruochu turned his head and glared at Lin Junmai angrily. He asked reluctantly.

"I'm afraid people will envy me for marrying such a beautiful lady."

"Be serious." Qiao ruochu's little daughter is in a state of confrontation with him. She has to find out why.

Lin Junmai lowered his voice, attached to her ear and asked, "do you have to know?"

"Well." Qiao ruochu nodded loudly.

"Keep it down."

Lin Junmai took her hand and quickly walked forward. He left Tang Gu behind and asked in a low voice, "is there something wrong with my waist?"

"Your waist?" Qiao ruochu repeated half a sentence, suddenly understood, blushed in his chest beat a meal, "Stinky Qiu Ba, hate."

After scolding, her eyes were filled with tears. Thinking of the scar on his waist that she felt last night, red and purple, uneven, she asked painfully if she had been shot.

He said lightly that he was bitten by insects during ambush, infected and festered, but the skin was damaged, it doesn't matter.

Now it seems that last night was obviously cheating on her.

"The position of the injury is not good. I don't dare to pick you up before I recover." Later, he didn't dare to say it in his throat. When she was with him, he was not a man.

"You..."

Lin Junmai looked back and saw that Tang Gu kept a good distance from them. Then he coaxed her and said, "don't be angry, madam. I'll wash your feet in the evening. Can I make amends? "

"Who wants you to wash people's feet?" Qiao ruochu just didn't eat him and spat at him.

"Junzuo." A green military jeep is coming. Wei Tongsheng jumps down from it and says hello to Qiao ruochu in a hurry. He anxiously reports to Lin Junmai: "commander Xue Yue is calling for you."

"What's the matter?"

Asked Lin Junmai.

"It's said that it's hard to fight in Changsha. I don't know if we're going to transfer our support." Wei Tongsheng said anxiously.
