lost to time

With a bang, the leopard fell to the ground, Zhang Qishan picked up the gun that fell aside, and pointed it at his head.

"You, you dare to kill me?" The leopard's voice changed in fright.

"Sing a little song."

"W-what?"

Zhang Qishan stepped on his chest, Gogou sneered and said, "I'll sing a little song to see you off."

"You, you can't kill me! This is the city, you are not afraid of being known as a big Buddha!? This land is now under the control of the Japanese, and you are not afraid of being difficult to explain!?"

"Here is a deserter who intends to murder the officer and enforce the military law on the spot. No one's land is useless, who am I? The gods and Buddhas have to respect me when they see me. Go down and see the King of Hades and tell him that this life is mys. !" After Zhang Qishan finished speaking, he pulled the trigger without hesitation, and with the sound of gunshots, blood sprayed everywhere, but Zhang Qishan just looked at the gun coldly, and said: "Inferior goods." Then he threw the gun next to the corpse.

By the way, he wiped the blood on the shoes on the corpse, and looking back, Zhang Qishan saw a pair of frightened and sad eyes.This is the person who bullies you, Zhang Qishan wants to say this.Even if it wasn't considered murderous, Zhang Qishan would never soften his heart for killing someone, but he suddenly felt guilty when he met Wu Xie's eyes.He who came from that era probably never saw such a scene, Zhang Qishan smiled self-deprecatingly.

The rain was still falling, and Zhang Qishan, who was walking outside, felt the chill only now.This kind of bone-piercing chill from the depths of his heart made him freeze up and dare not turn his head.Suddenly a person rushed up from behind, half of Zhang Qishan's body was covered by his coat.

Startled, Zhang Qishan stopped, and heard Wu Xie who was sticking behind him say in a low voice, "It's just that I was a little surprised."

"Well, I'll pay attention next time." Zhang Qishan nodded, not daring to show his emotions, he couldn't even clearly express what the emotions were.He took the corner of the coat, gathered both of them in the clothes, and said, "Go back."

"Hmm." Wu Xie said in a low voice, and suddenly felt something arching beside his arm, he was startled and looked down to see a pair of bright eyes protruding from Zhang Qishan's pocket, "Hey! What is this!"

"Your grandpa's dog."

Wu Xie opened his pocket and took a closer look, exclaiming, "Is this the white mastiff? I only heard about it from my grandfather, but it's a pity that I left very early. Although the white mastiff has very strong aura, its vitality is very weak. From birth It needs special care, otherwise it won’t last for a few days. But even if you try your best to feed it, your life will not be long, and every time Grandpa talks about it, he is so distressed that he wants to die.”

Zhang Qishan smiled, as long as he wanted to die or live, that's right.

"You just said--my grandfather?" Wu Xie suddenly realized something, so Zhang Qishan believed in himself, and asked happily, "You mean--"

"It's raining hard, let's talk when we go back." Zhang Qishan rubbed the back of his neck, deliberately changing the topic.

By the time he ran back to Foye's mansion, the rain was already like a curtain.The butler stood at the door and was not surprised to see Foye rushing in with someone. He called people to get towels to boil water, and sent someone to find the adjutant. The things around him are all over, and he will not stay if you are not here, and he has time to find Mr. Dong Zuobin."

This butler is really all-rounder, and he is also a character when he thinks about it.Wu Xie thought about following Zhang Qishan to the main room, Zhang Qishan took the towel handed over by the servant, turned his back and took off his soaked clothes, wearing only a single shirt.Originally there was no brazier in the room, only then did someone bring one and put it in front of the sofa.Zhang Qishan said while wiping his hair: "Tell me, boy, what are you doing running out? How did it fall into his hands?"

It's okay not to say this, it was poking at a place that Wu Xie couldn't bear to face, he hesitated to speak.

"Again, you blame me for not believing you, but not saying anything when I ask you." Zhang Qishan sighed, "Didn't you go to find Old Dog Wu, did you run around the streets and alleys of Changsha City, what exactly do you want to do? What is it that I don't know?"

"This—" Wu Xie didn't want to speak, but felt really ashamed to speak, but hearing Zhang Qishan's ears was not pleasant.If an ordinary person, Zhang Qishan had enough ways to go through the top ten torture methods, but after all, he personally rescued the person, there must be something unusual, Zhang Qishan shook his head and said for the first time: "I really don't want to say it. Hurry up and dry your hair."

"No!——" Although there was no rain on his body, Wu Xie leaned against the brazier, and grabbed Zhang Qishan who was about to get up, "Listen to me."

It was hard to gain Zhang Qishan's trust. If there is a estrangement over such a shameful thing, the gain will not be worth the loss. Wu Xie didn't care about anything else, and said, "I'm looking for Grandpa, otherwise, who else can I look for, but—— But I didn't expect—"

"Didn't think of anything?"

Wu Xie let go of Zhang Qishan's clothes, covered his face with his hands and said, "I'm so fucking lost! Let's go!!"

It took Zhang Qishan about ten seconds to digest this unbelievable answer to him, and then he couldn't help laughing, thinking about the long-distance run in Changsha City led by the white mastiff, he finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhang Qishan hadn't laughed so heartily for a long time, and he couldn't stop for a while, the laughter passed through the wall and reached the housekeeper's ears.The butler looked at the main room in surprise, secretly wondering who that ordinary-looking young man was.

"Hey, enough laughing!" Wu Xie held back at first, seeing that Zhang Qishan was about to laugh endlessly, punched him on the shoulder.

How could Zhang Qishan be hit by him, he withdrew his body and grabbed the fist that hit him with one hand.Wu Xie didn't leave any room for this one, and bumped into Zhang Qishan's chest when he tilted his body.

"Tsk!" Zhang Qishan crouched down and gasped.

It hurts to hit him so casually, and his body is also very weak. Wu Xie got up and was about to laugh back, but saw light red liquid oozing from Zhang Qishan's shirt like blood.Just now, I noticed some dark brown marks on the shirt that Zhang Qishan had replaced, and I thought it was just mud stains.

"Are you injured?" Wu Xie asked anxiously.

"Well, I accidentally hurt it before I went to find you." Zhang Qishan picked up a towel and stuffed it between the buttons of his shirt to hold it down.

Wu Xie regretted it unceasingly. He was injured and braved the rain to save himself, but he was beaten by himself. What is this called? This is called ungrateful revenge.So he hurried up and asked, "How is it? Let me see?"

"What's the use of seeing? Can you use your eyes to heal your wounds?" Although Zhang Qishan said so, there was actually a hint of joy in his heart. Wu Xie's nervousness was real.

Chapter [-]

"Stop talking nonsense! Let me take a look." Wu Xiexin said how Master Zhang Dafo became so poor, which was different from the legends, so he went to unbutton Zhang Qishan's shirt no matter what happened.

Zhang Qishan pressed the two restless paws with one hand, squinted his eyes and stared at Wu Xie amusingly.

"What?"

As soon as Wu Xie looked up, he realized that the atmosphere was not right. He was almost half lying in Zhang Qishan's arms, and he was still trying to take off his clothes with his hands. This scene was so beautiful that he couldn't even imagine it.

His face was as red as the lantern hanging at the entrance of the festival, the kind that was still lit, Wu Xie jumped up from Zhang Qishan, "I just—look—"

Zhang Qishan smiled and unbuttoned his clothes by himself, revealing the rain-soaked wound, the edge of the wound was rolled up, turning into a strange dark pink.

"So serious? Is there any medicine? Where is it?"

"It's not poisonous, don't worry about it." Zhang Qishan folded his clothes and beckoned Wu Xie to sit down. "Continue, what happened after getting lost?"

Wu Xie glanced at his wound, not wanting to argue any more at this time, sat down obediently and said: "I haven't found it after searching for a long time, I'm tired and hungry and I thought, I can't find Grandpa's house, but Zhang Dafo's house Someone must know, why don't you just come back—"

"Are you going to come back?"

"Yeah." Wu Xie lowered her head, unable to hear the joy hidden in Zhang Qishan's tone, "Yeah, but when I got to the intersection ahead, I ran into that old bandit who came back to seek revenge. I didn't dare to resist even if he had a gun. , I thought I was going to die this time, thanks to Lord Buddha—"

In fact, Zhang Qishan felt a little guilty. After all, the leopard was after him, but looking at Wu Xie's pitiful eyes, Zhang Qishan decided to break up this guilt and swallow it into his stomach.Is a wolf that doesn't bully rabbits still called a wolf?Thinking about it this way, Zhang Qishan felt more at ease, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Have you tasted the pain?"

"I have tasted it." Wu Xie poked his head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Still running around?"

"Grandpa is both wise and brave, wise and powerful, and will resolutely carry out all self-rescue activities centered on grandpa in the future."

"Hey--bring me the tea." Zhang Qishan kicked Wu Xie with his toes, and looked at him in a numb manner, covering his face behind his back and laughing unsteadily.

After warming up and filling his stomach, Zhang Qishan started to talk about serious things when he saw Wu Xie was still gobbling.Now let go of the grudge, and also feel that Wu Xie is the key person, so he told Wu Xie what happened before, including Er Yuehong's news about the thimble.

Wu Xie stuffed the last peach blossom glutinous rice ball into his mouth. The supply of these warlords was different. He opened his mouth to speak and choked, spraying all the chewed glutinous rice balls on Zhang Qishan's face.

"Wu! Evil!"

"I'm sorry—great—grandfather——" Wu Xie reached out and moved closer to help Zhang Qishan wipe off the things on his face, but he sprayed all over the face where there was still room.

This time with the pill, Zhang Qishan's face was already twitching, Wu Xie quickly lifted up the corner of his clothes to help him wipe it clean.

"You eat well!" Zhang Qishan pushed him away to wash his face.

"The ones who come and go in the soil are still obsessed with cleanliness." Wu Xie was a little embarrassed, so he uttered a sentence, and started to stack the plates on the table together.

"Are you full?" Zhang Qishan wiped his face with a towel, and smelled a faint sweet smell of peach blossoms on the towel, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.This peach blossom glutinous rice ball tastes good, I will ask Er Yuehong for some more some other day.

Wu Xie didn't know what Zhang Qishan was thinking, she still raised her head and smiled with a harmless face, looking just like the white mastiff squatting beside her.Zhang Qishan thought to himself that the old dogs raised by Wu really have similar temperaments, they usually look soft and weak, and at critical moments, they can run and jump over the wall without any hesitation.

"Buddha--Buddha!" ​​Wu Xie yelled twice without responding, and shook his hand in front of Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan was startled, and covered his face with a towel, what's wrong.

"You said."

Wu Xie nodded, "If you want me to say this, it's easy to investigate."

"tell me the story."

"I'm following my guess. If it doesn't match the actual situation, you can bring it up."

"En." Zhang Qishan sat down next to Wu Xie.

"Actually, I can't see anything from the information you have now, but maybe we can look at this issue from a different angle. You see that in times of war like this, all kinds of materials are in short supply, especially fuel, right? There is a map ?"

Without further ado, Zhang Qishan got up and took a military map, spread it out on the coffee table, and pointed out the location of the railway station and the railway line.

Wu Xie glanced at Zhang Qishan in surprise, he just mentioned the fuel, and he knew what he was thinking, "This is the direction the train is coming from, you must know the fuel left in the train, you can find it along the way." The place where the train departs, or the place where fuel is replenished, is now in short supply, so there must be traces of such a large demand. I think that if we find the place where the train departs, there must be some traces of transportation, and we will be able to find the tomb.”

"You mean to skip the Japanese and go directly to the source."

"Of course. You think, if we stubbornly search along the clues like this, no matter how we find out, it will be part of the information they have. And you also said that this is probably a trick set up by the Japanese. In case they If you give us clues little by little, we will easily be led into a maze, and in the end, maybe the oriole will be behind and help others make wedding dresses."

As long as Zhang Qishan thinks about it, he will find that what Wu Xie said is not unreasonable, and he can't help but look at him with admiration.

Wu Xie continued to support his elbows and said: "I have also experienced such things in my own time. You can never judge the truth or falsehood of things that others put in front of you. If you want to know the truth, the fastest and most direct way The method is to personally cut the deepest part of it in half with a single knife, and then black and white will be completely revealed."

"Little is known, it is too dangerous."

All the previous Wu Xie also knew that the danger is of course danger, "Buddha, you have to make up your mind quickly, this method won't work if it takes a long time. First, the traces along the way are at most two or three days, not longer .Secondly, the fight for this matter is a chance for the other party to take no precautions. Besides, speaking of danger, wouldn't it be more terrifying to talk about this invisible danger and give you a false sense of comfort with a black eye?"

Zhang Qishan didn't speak, but clasped his hands, put on a cold and serious face, and stared at Wu Xie intently.

Wu Xie felt uncomfortable for a while, twisted her body on the sofa and asked, "Grandpa, what are you thinking?"

This guy, Zhang Qishan cursed secretly in his heart, he was called Buddha when he didn't need it, and Grandpa when he needed it.What a rabbit!He is simply a little fox in a rabbit's coat who likes to act like a spoiled child!

Chapter [-]

"Miss you." Zhang Qishan said lightly.

"Er—" Wu Xie was at a loss for words.

Zhang Qishan lowered his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, "You are not as simple as you seem."

Wu Xie was a little worried that he had said too much, but self-defeating instead. It was only because of his impatience, but now he couldn't take it back even if he wanted to, so he explained embarrassingly: "I'm not stupid, I still have some brains."

"What does silly white sweet mean?"

"That is to say, girls are silly, fair and sweet, and attractive."

"Yeah." Zhang Qishan nodded almost invisible, "Except for not being stupid, everything else is right. So, you guessed from the beginning that I would save you, right?"

"Not so sure." Wu Xie lowered his head, "But there are still expectations."

"This matter is no small matter, let me think about it overnight." Zhang Qishan stretched his slender legs and kicked Wu Xie off, "Go to bed."

Wu Xie fell down and sat on the ground, afraid that Zhang Qishan would change his mind. After all, whether he could find a way to go back as soon as possible was all up to Zhang Qishan's thoughts. How long would it take if he didn't confess his sincerity at this time?So he leaned into Zhang Qishan's ear and said, "Grandpa, although I'm smart, I can swear to God that I have no malicious intentions. I just want to go home."

"You're so smart!" Zhang Qishan closed his eyes and slapped Wu Xie on the head.

Wu Xie didn't hide, but he didn't feel the pain as expected. He put his palm on his hair and rubbed it lightly.When Wu Xie fixed his eyes again, he was facing Zhang Qishan's scorching gaze. Wu Xie felt that the hot breath blowing over him almost melted him, and his face flushed red.

Looking at each other for a long time, Zhang Qishan murmured "Got it" in a soft whisper.

"Then do you believe me?" Wu Xie asked eagerly, and suddenly found that he seemed to care more about the answer to this question.

Zhang Qishan looked extremely tired, closed his eyes and pushed Wu Xie and said, "You are also a member of the Nine Gates, you have to trust Master Zhang Dafo. Go to sleep—"

Wu Xie staggered for a moment, seeing that Zhang Qishan's expression was not right, observed from far and near for a while, and boldly stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that his forehead was terribly hot.Tell you to show off!Wu Xie cursed secretly, with such an injury, antibiotics are needed. I don't know if there are any here.

"Grandpa—the Lord Buddha?" Wu Xie tried to pat him awake, "Zhang Qishan!"

"Um--"

"I'll get someone to take you to the hospital."

"No——" Zhang Qishan replied in a daze, "I can't let people know that I'm hurt—everyone is staring at me, I can't leave for a day—"

"Then what should I do? Do you have any medicine at home? Anti-inflammatory medicine or something?"

"Go to the butler—"

"You didn't believe me when I told you to take medicine earlier."

Complaining in her mouth, Wu Xie hurried to find the housekeeper, took some anti-inflammatory medicines, ground some into powder and sprinkled it on the wound to bandage it, and poured a few pills into Zhang Qishan with hard water.Wu Xie was so busy that his forehead was sweating, but the housekeeper had a face of indifference, and after he settled down, he took him to the door to leave.

"Wait, please wait—" Wu Xie called to stop him, "Don't you need to carry him to the bed?"

"For this little injury, Lord Buddha can sleep wherever he likes, and our servants can't care about it." The butler left without looking back after speaking.

Ai? ! --Hello!Is this really the head of your family?Life is so worthless! ?Wu Xie couldn't afford to look at Zhang Qishan whose head was tilted to one side, so he could only rely on himself, after all, it sounded too immoral to just leave the savior here.

"It seems that you are usually too arrogant and domineering, and no one cares about you at critical times." Wu Xie mumbled complaining while struggling to set Zhang Qishan up.Unexpectedly, Zhang Qishan looked slender and well-proportioned, but in fact he was as heavy as a rock, and he was able to support his upper body just after a lot of effort.

"I'm going, dead heavy!" Panting heavily, Wu Xie wrapped Zhang Qishan's arm around his neck, and had to stop to rest for a while, "How does this body grow? It's heavier than that fat man! As Wu Xie said, he stretched out his finger and poked Zhang Qishan's body, and unexpectedly found that the solid feeling was quite comfortable.Wu Xie took a sneak peek at Zhang Qishan, seeing that he didn't respond, so he poked his itchy hand twice more as compensation for working hard. After all, there were not many opportunities to bully Master Zhang.

However, enough small movements were done, and the coolies that should be done are still to be done. Wu Xie held up his breath and raised Zhang Qishan up with a hey, all the weight was on his shoulders, and he almost fell down under the pressure. I can't even take a step.In the end, he could only hug him from behind and drag him to the bedside.Wu Xie took off his shoes and squatted on the bed, kicked on the edge of the bed and dragged Zhang Qishan up, and lay down flat.

"Oh my god! Zhang Qishan! This is something that I, Wu Xie, have the ability to value love and righteousness. If you try someone else, you will have thrown you on the floor long ago. Look, it's not wrong to save me, my lord. I'm sorry for you." Wu Xie was so tired that she gasped for breath, covered Zhang Qishan with the quilt, and patted him on the shoulder a few times proudly, already planning how to show her merits tomorrow.

Wu Xie lay down next to Zhang Qishan comfortably, feeling something was wrong for a while, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhang Qishan's sharp-edged side face, light brown skin and an inconspicuous scar on his forehead, and his brows were tightly furrowed in sleep Together, people can't help but want to reach out to smooth it.As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Wu Xie jumped off the bed with a carp.

It's simply unreasonable for me to lie on the same bed with Master Zhang with such peace of mind!Wu Xie walked towards the sofa, but the sofa was really not that comfortable to sleep on, and it didn't feel right to turn over and over.Wu Xie sat up and looked at the sleeping Zhang Qishan, thinking, what's wrong with a man sharing the same bed with a man, and he usually squeezed together with the fat man and the others.Someone as wretched as Fatty has slept with himself, why are he still afraid of Zhang Qishan?

Thinking of Wu Xie running back to the bed with bare feet, she lifted the quilt and got in, looked at Zhang Qishan who was motionless, and whispered, "I don't want to sleep with you, I just want to save my energy. It's not a question of life style, it's a question of military strategy."

After comforting himself, Wu Xie closed his eyes reassuringly. After a while, what Zhang Qishan had said reappeared in his mind, and he sat up again. Enter the tiger's mouth?It's better to sleep on the sofa.

Just when he got out of the quilt, he shivered from the cold and backed away, thinking that it should not be the case. I didn't hear grandpa say that Master Zhang Dafo is a rabbit, but I heard that he spent a lot of money on a woman.Couldn't he say something about masculinity himself?Thinking of the soreness in his heart, Wu Xie lay down again in a fit of anger.

wrong!This guy even peeked at himself in the shower!Wu Xie thought of the back figure squatting on the ground and turning over his clothes, and he was so excited that he wanted to jump up again.Suddenly Zhang Qishan turned over and stretched out his legs and pressed heavily on his stomach.

"You're enough! You're so annoying! Can't sleep anymore!" Zhang Qishan cursed with his eyes closed.

Chapter Thirteen

"You, you, you! You've been awake!" Wu Xie blushed, tongue-tied.

"You almost broke your waist, next time you lift someone, remember to lift your feet first." Zhang Qishan suppressed a smile.At first, he was really lethargic. After being knocked awake by the edge of the bed, he planned to see the real reaction of Wu Xie, a little fox, but unexpectedly saw a good show.

"Zhang! Qi! Shan! I'm going to strangle you to death!" Recalling his own performance just now, Wu Xie broke down and wanted to kill someone to vent his anger, and yelled, he rushed forward and strangled Zhang Qishan's neck.

Only then did Zhang Qishan open his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes, Wu Xiexin immediately withdrew his hands in a panic, desperately trying to break free from Zhang Qishan's suppression, and said, "I, I'd better go to sleep on the sofa."

"What? Do you like men?" Zhang Qishan asked.

"Fart! How is it possible, I'm a young man with a red seedling!"

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Wu Xie was speechless, "I, what am I afraid of, I'm afraid you like men!"

Zhang Qishan laughed loudly wrapped in the quilt, "If I like men, then you don't even want to sleep on the sofa."

The thighs pressing on Wu Xie's abdomen also shook with laughter. Wu Xie blushed and was embarrassed to say that he minded. After holding back for a long time, he realized that he had nothing to do with his shamelessness. This battle was completely abandoned. Destroyed, he threw away a sentence in self-defeating, "You——what do you want!"

Zhang Qishan's cheeks showed an abnormal blush, his forehead was covered with thin sweat, his eyes were bright but could not hide the tiredness in his eyes, he pretended to be aggrieved and said: "I am already like this, what do you think of me? Another day, the Buddha is also a human being, so go to sleep."

"Your sister another day!" Wu Xie muttered in a low voice, still submissively retracted into the quilt, and made a fuss for a long time, as if just to get a word from Zhang Qishan to be at ease.When he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn, and he stretched out his hand to feel the coldness around him, sat up and saw Zhang Qishan reviewing documents at the desk, and an adjutant standing beside him was reporting the military situation.

Hearing the voice, both of them turned their heads, Zhang Qishan swept away the previous depression with vigor, tapped the pen on the table a few times and said: "Get up when you wake up, there are still many things to deal with today."

"Oh." Wu Xie felt that this scene was too ambiguous, put on his clothes and hugged the white mastiff next to the pillow, and rushed out of the room. He heard Zhang Qishan yelling loudly inside just after washing up.It was too far away to hear clearly, so he ran back quickly, and saw Zhang Qishan who was walking out quickly, looked at Wu Xie with a dark face, and ordered concisely: "Go!"

Wu Xie nodded and didn't dare to say anything. He followed closely behind the adjutant. Zhang Qishan looked like two people from last night. Chilling stress.

After getting into the military vehicle and galloping all the way, Wu Xie shrank his neck to see the roadside stalls sporadically set up. The fragrance was blown by the wind, and they all dispersed as soon as he smelled it.Wu Xie didn't know what happened, and there was an adjutant in the car, so he didn't know if it was convenient for him to ask.The car stopped in front of a small courtyard. There were two guards with guns standing at the gate of the courtyard. There were several policemen outside who were whispering to each other. When they saw Buddha coming, they all stood at attention immediately.One of them, who seemed to be in charge, stepped forward and saluted Buddha, "Buddha, no one else has entered except the one who found it."

"Continue to blockade, you stay outside."

"Yes!"

Someone pushed open the door, and Zhang Qishan walked in first.Wu Xie looked around, it was just a very ordinary small courtyard, some flowers and plants were planted in the yard, some brushed crabapples were in buds, and a small stone bench was placed next to the flowers.The yard was well maintained and everything looked natural, but something happened that made Zhang Qishan and the others so nervous.

Zhang Qishan walked straight to the main room in front of the courtyard, pushed open the door and Wu Xie was startled when he saw the situation inside the room from a distance, no wonder everyone had serious faces, as it turned out, things were very strange.

When the door was opened, a lot of white silk was wrapped around it. Not only that, but the whole room was covered with such white silk. Wu Xie conveniently broke a branch from the peach tree next to the door, and used the branch to clean it after entering the door. Go pick those white silks.

The white silk is sticky, and it can only be twisted continuously when it is pulled. Wu Xie dragged it back to the branch and looked it over carefully. It looked like spider silk, but it was much denser than spider silk, and if it was spider silk, it would be so thick. The spider silk must be at least as big as Chun Shisanniang's spider essence.

"That's what happened yesterday. There should be more cases than when we discovered it. Be careful." Zhang Qishan blocked Wu Xie from letting him go in, and said to the adjutant, "Go light some torches and come in."

Putting the flower stand by the door, Wu Xie pushed her fingers and found that the flower stand was free of dust, and said in surprise, "It doesn't look like this house has been empty for a long time, how could it be?"

"There were still people living there until yesterday, but it happened overnight." Zhang Qishan secretly clenched his fists, "It's Qi Laoba."

"Old Ba? Qi Tiezui?"

"En." At this time the adjutant came back with a torch, Zhang Qishan picked up two of them, Bai Si touched the flames and made a sizzling sound, and slowly scorched black and curled up.It took a while to get to the bed. Zhang Qishan lifted the pillow and quilt and didn't know what to look for, but Wu Xie found that the bed sheet was soaked in large pieces of strange liquid. Picking it with a branch, the mucus was pulled into a thread.

"It's gone." Zhang Qishan wasn't too surprised, but still ordered the adjutant, "Go to the hospital and check if there is really nothing on the fortune teller."

"Yes!"

"Buddha, what are you looking for? How is Qi Tiezui?"

"Qi Tiezui is in a coma, and his life is in danger. He must have put the armor next to him. If it wasn't here, someone must have snatched it away." Zhang Qishan had a sad expression, and sent people to live around the house with firewood. Burn down this cozy little garden hidden in the troubled times.We were all like this at the beginning, hoping to keep our own world alone in the dark, only to find out that there were eggs under the overturned nest.We live in this world as an independent person but not independently. We always have to make some necessary sacrifices for some things that must be adhered to, otherwise we will be forced to perish. This is a choice that does not exist .

After the flames rose to the sky, they gradually extinguished. Seeing that there would be no more changes, Zhang Qishan ordered the police sub-chief who was on standby, "Go and invite Mr. Dong Zuobin to my house."

Then he took Wu Xie into the military vehicle, and the two sat next to each other in the back seat.

"Where are we going now?" Wu Xie asked.

Zhang Qishan's expression was not good, and he answered the wrong question and said: "You are right, we must make up our minds as soon as possible, this piece of armor may be an accident, it is a clue that the Japanese do not want us to find, if this continues, we really will be held back."

Chapter [-]

"So you've decided, Grandpa?" Wu Xie couldn't feel too much joy when something like this happened just now.

"Well, but I need help." Zhang Qishan took Wu Xie out of the car. This house is relatively remote, and the neighbors on the left and right are separated by an alley two or three meters away. There was the faint sound of a dog barking.

Wu Xie knew where it was at a glance, so he quickened his pace and rushed in. Just as he rushed through the gate, he suddenly turned around and bumped into Zhang Qishan's chest.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Qishan rubbed his forehead for him.

"What if my grandpa doesn't believe it? Tell me for me—" Wu Xie looked at him beggingly.

Zhang Qishan shook his head with a light smile, and shouted, "Old Dog Wu!"

One person was wearing a moon white blouse, walked out of the backyard in a leisurely manner, with a lot of dog hair on the light white trousers, saw Zhang Qishan and said angrily, "Where is my little white mastiff, is it not hurt?"

It’s okay if I don’t talk about it, Zhang Qishan still feels a little uncomfortable when I talk about it, "Old Dog Wu didn’t have good intentions, what did you say that the little white mastiff can run faster than a horse, and I can still hurt it? I almost didn’t get hurt by it .”

"That's because you're useless." Old Dog Wu was not polite to him.

Wu Xie took out the puppy from his arms, was about to jump up excitedly but pressed himself hard, handed it over tremblingly, and whispered: "Grandpa—"

In fact, Wu Laogou saw this fair and clean young man early in the morning, and seemed to see a sense of familiarity on his face, but this feeling made Wu Laogou feel a very uncomfortable resistance.In addition to what Zhang Qishan said before, he already guessed in his heart that this person should be his "grandson" that Zhang Qishan said.

But when Wu Xie spoke, Old Dog Wu reprimanded almost reflexively: "Don't shout!"

Wu Xie's tears were already in his eyes, and he was scolded back abruptly, and he was so shocked that he froze in place.Wu Xie didn't know how to get close to this grandfather who loved him the most, but who didn't have a single wrinkle and looked not much older than himself.

Wu Laogou turned his body slightly, deliberately avoiding facing Wu Xie, and saw the dogs under his feet humming affectionately at Wu Xie when they met for the first time.

Zhang Qishan just didn't understand, Wu Laogou was known as a good old man, and he didn't treat strangers like this, knowing that there was a difference, it was inconvenient to comfort Wu Xie, so he and Wu Laogou stepped aside to discuss it alone.

"Have you seen him?" Zhang Qishan asked.

No one would have guessed that Old Dog Wu was full of fear at this time, shrunk his shoulders and hugged the three-inch nail in his sleeve tighter, and said unhappily: "I haven't seen it before."

Zhang Qishan breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I said yesterday that he was the one I was looking for, but I thought it was really your grandson. This matter is indeed a bit difficult to understand, let me explain it to you slowly."

Old Dog Wu shook his head, he didn't want to listen to it at all, "I don't care who he is, you have found him too, take him and leave quickly, I look at him—I feel—I feel uncomfortable."

"Old five?" Zhang Qishan is familiar with Wu Laogou's temper, and knows that he must have something on his mind, "If there is something wrong, tell me quickly, I am a rough person, I don't have to come and play around with me!"

"You said he was my grandson?" Wu Laogou glanced at Wu Xie who was standing not far away, turned his back and said, "Do you know what this means? A person who will never appear has appeared. Isn't this a A good omen, even, may be the beginning of a disaster. You don't need to explain. It is because I believe what you say that I am terrified of his face. I can't imagine what earth-shaking changes will be brought about behind it. This The era has been shattered by the war, and we cannot bear a heavier blow. Lord Buddha, I can't take this responsibility, but you can't afford it either!" Wu Laogou's face was distorted due to fear and tension, This may be the reason why Zhang Qishan chooses to trust him unconditionally no matter how venomous he is. His seemingly calm heart is full of worries about this country, this era, and Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan smiled and stared at Wu Xie in silence for a long time. He knew exactly what he was going to face next. This might be the last moment of silence. He wanted to stay a little longer, just a little longer.

"Buddha—" Wu Laogou knew very well what this silence meant to Zhang Qishan, and tried to make a final dissuasion.

"Old Five," Zhang Qishan sighed and murmured, "Old Fifth, do you know what I see in him?" Without waiting for Wu Laogou to answer, Zhang Qishan continued, "What I saw was happiness, tranquility and completeness. Don't you understand? I seem to see the beauty of another era in him. People in that era can laugh and scold without burden, have fun without pressure, do what they like, and love lovely people. Many times I Looking at the wreckage and severed limbs on the battlefield, some of them are innocent teenagers, some are elderly, some have wives and daughters, some have parents, I have wondered more than once what the meaning of war exists But looking at him now, I suddenly realized that all the efforts and sacrifices we made seemed to have real value. This feeling of dust settled almost filled my whole body and mind, and I would like to dedicate all life and blood,
