lost to time

to approach.

When he saw the faint figure of Zhang Qishan appearing in front of him, Wu Xie's tears burst out of his eyes in an instant.When she was so terrified before, even when she thought she was saying goodbye, Wu Xie couldn't hold back a single tear, but at this moment she finally let it out, and rushed towards Zhang Qishan before it was too late.

When Zhang Qishan saw Wu Xie who was crouching on the ground and huddled into a ball, he was angry and happy at the same time. The angry thing was that he had made his own way, but the happy thing was that he was not injured.It's just that there is no time to mention everything, no danger is found around, the female corpse and the neon double dragon are gone, so I hurried back with Wu Xie in my arms, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't be afraid, let's talk about it when we go out!"

Zhang Qishan climbed over by hanging a rope on a stone bridge that had not completely collapsed, and he had to climb a section of the stone wall when he returned to the crack.Crawling on the stone wall of the abyss requires not only physical strength, but also full courage. Wu Xie's legs are a little weak just looking down.

52 chapter

Zhang Qishan tied two strands of rope tightly around Wu Xie's waist, and asked, "Have you ever climbed a mountain before?"

"Climb -- climbed." Wu Xie thought to himself that he had not only climbed the mountain, but also climbed the bronze sacred tree.

"It's like climbing a mountain. A rope is tied to me and a rope is tied to the stone bridge. Don't worry, it's not difficult. Let's get out of here quickly." Zhang Qishan said.

Could mountain climbing be the same as this?No matter what, at least I have experience in climbing bronze trees, so I have to do it anyway. If I don't leave now, are I waiting for the zongzi to boil to eat Tang's monk meat?Wu Xie followed Zhang Qishan's footsteps, and stepped on wherever he saw him.It goes without saying that the journey was thrilling, but at any rate they reached the crack safely.

The cracks that had already collapsed were blasted open by Zhang Qishan, and almost all the stone paths outside were blown up.Zhang Qishan stretched his arms in the crack, and hugged Wu Xie who jumped in.The two hugged each other and ran not far into the depths, when they heard the shock behind them was more violent than the explosion, and the constant shaking of their feet made them unstable.Zhang Qishan hurriedly lowered Wu Xie's body, and ran out to protect him.

The stones that hit me at the beginning were not heavy, and I didn't know how long I ran with my head buried. Some stones hit the ground and caused pain, so I should have reached the edge of the mountain.Wu Xie raised his head and found a faint light in front of him, and shouted happily: "Go out!"

Before Zhang Qishan could respond, he was hit by a huge boulder on his arched shoulder, which happened to be the outermost layer of granite.Even the outermost layers are cracking, and it won't be long before the mountain collapses completely.Zhang Qishan endured the severe pain, but put Wu Xie under his body even more.

The brighter and brighter light is the hope of the two people's rebirth, and they finally rushed out of the crack, and the joy of the rest of their lives filled their hearts.After leaving the mountain far away before stopping, Zhang Qishan hugged Wu Xie tightly, like a rare treasure that had been lost and recovered, and then let go of him for a moment and scolded him sharply: "Wu Xie! How could you do such a stupid thing! How could you do such a stupid thing! Where am I!"

"I—" Wu Xie just said, the mountain behind the two of them collapsed into a depression amidst the violent roar, if it was one step later, the two of them would have become ghosts under the stone at this moment, and it must be said that it was the blessing of the Buddha.

"Wu Xie——" Zhang Qishan looked at Wu Xie's red eyes, lowered his eyebrows, and feared that he would attack at this time, he couldn't help but said with red eyes, "I just found out today, so I was also afraid."

"I'm sorry." Apart from apologizing, Wu Xie didn't know how to explain his decision just now.Desiring to decide one's own life is the greatest harm to one's lover, and this is the reason why people live.

"No, Wu Xie, it's me that makes you distrust me, my ability makes you doubt, doubt that I can't save you and protect you. This is my fault." Zhang Qishan embraced Wu Xie and pressed his head on his shoulder On, "Trust me, don't leave me—love me more."

Wu Xie blushed, nodded vigorously, lay on Zhang Qishan's chest for a while, thinking of Xiaobai and his nose was sore, he choked up and said, "Xiaobai is gone, to save me—"

"Well, let me tell your grandpa when I go back, Xiaobai is so spiritual, it recognizes you and is willing to give up its life, this has been decided since the moment you met." Talking about Xiaobai is still talking about himself.Gained and lost and lost again, Zhang Qishan has experienced a lot during this short journey, from ecstatic to distraught, from nephrite embrace to not fearing behind, now thinking about it is like a big dream, only the warm body in his arms The most real, can not help but sigh deeply.

"What's wrong?" Wu Xie poked out her small head and asked.

"It's nothing." Zhang Qishan stroked the gravel from his hair, kissed Wu Xie deeply on the forehead, and didn't let go until Wu Xie pushed him, "We'll find a way to return to the city, the reinforcements contacted by the adjutant should have arrived."

"Yeah." Wu Xie pursed her lips, gently touching the mark on her forehead with her fingers.

The place where the two people came out was exactly the first mountain they climbed at the beginning. I didn't expect God to play with people like this.Now as long as you bypass the collapsed place and find the road, you will be able to wait for someone to respond.Unexpectedly, he didn't even meet a single Japanese soldier along the way. Zhang Qishan thought that the people sent by regiment leader Ge Xiancai must have arrived, and he could reach the road after leaving the forest in front.

But not long after entering the woods, Zhang Qishan smelled a bloody smell vigilantly. The closer he walked to the road, the stronger the bloody smell became.Zhang Qishan turned his head to remind Wu Xie to lower his footsteps, and gradually he could see the soil in the forest blackened with blood, and the corpses lying on the ground became more and more dense. Although they were wearing national army uniforms, Zhang Qishan flipped through their military badges It was found that they were all forged. These should be the Japanese soldiers guarding nearby at first. Zhang Qishan turned over a dozen of them one after another, and found that all the people lying here were Japanese soldiers. He gradually had a bad feeling. Is it possible to win such an unscathed victory?

Zhang Qishan, who was squatting on the ground, was still studying the scattered bullet casings, when Wu Xie suddenly let out a strange cry, the voice was choked in his throat and was about to cry out, like a wounded little animal that didn't know how to express its pain.It turned out that Wu Xie saw that there were corpses all over the ground, so he walked in front of Zhang Qishan. When he saw who the person lying on the ground was, he couldn't believe his eyes. He felt that his exhausted heart could no longer accept the successive blows. But just as he was about to cry and say that name, he remembered that there was someone who would be more sad than himself.

Zhang Qishan immediately looked up at Wu Xie, and saw that he was clasping his hands tightly in front of his chest, turning his head to look at Zhang Qishan, his fingertips were turning white because of too much force, but the whiteness was not as pale as Wu Xie's face. point.Zhang Qishan already had a premonition in his heart, but he had to test it with his own eyes after all. All these pains, from the time Zhang Qishan set foot on the road from Tufuzi to the battlefield, he had already decided that he could not avoid it.

Zhang Qishan staggered when he stood up, stabilized his body, and then walked step by step towards the place where Wu Xie was standing.

Lying on the ground was a bloody corpse that was completely indistinguishable at first glance. His face was covered with blood, his leg was cut off from the knee, his chest and abdomen were full of long and short broken knife points, and his eyes were staring straight at him. Looking at the sky has lost all life.It's just the bandage traces on one of his severed arms, and the Luban knot tied at the end, which is Wu Xie's habit, which proves that the person lying in front of him is Kun'er.

Zhang Qishan knelt beside Kun'er on one knee, holding the tips of the knives with his bare hands, and stabbed one by one from Kun'er's body, no blood gushed out of the wounds circled with black bruises.

Standing behind him, Wu Xie couldn't see Zhang Qishan's expression, only felt that his shoulders were trembling slightly, but at this moment Wu Xie didn't know how to comfort him, he just felt that Zhang Qishan needed a little solitude, so he just stood aside silently and kept silent.

53 chapter

When Zhang Qishan pulled out all the knife tips from Kun'er's body, Wu Xie also picked up the severed limb not far away.I don't know if Zhang Qishan wants to take Kun'er back or bury her here.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from a distance, and there were quite a few people listening to the sound. Compared with Wu Xie's panic, Zhang Qishan seemed extremely calm.Soon a group of troops wearing national army uniforms surrounded the two of them, and an officer walked out from the crowd. When he saw Zhang Qishan, he immediately put away his guns and rushed up to shake hands, saying, "Director Zhang, I will come as soon as I receive your secret order. But it's still a step too late."

"Teacher Ge." Zhang Qishan changed his face as soon as he wiped his face. He was terribly cold, but this coldness still had a little affection for Ge Xiancai, "I'm sorry."

"Don't dare, my life wouldn't have survived without Governor Zhang's action last time, I, Ge, will keep it in my heart."

"Teacher Ge said this, but Zhang feels very sorry. The situation is urgent, and Zhang will not be courteous to Commander Ge, please send someone to secretly send us back to the city." Zhang Qishan said, looking at Kun'er on the ground. , "My child, I would like to ask Captain Ge to send someone to send him off. Thank you."

Ge Xiancai looked at the corpse on the ground, and naturally he let out a long sigh. It was no problem to arrange all these things.Soon Zhang Qishan took Wu Xie to the military vehicle back to the city. The back seat and the driver's cab were separated by glass, and there was a small window on it. seat.

Wu Xie saw him sitting there motionless, upright, with a stern face and no expression, knowing that he felt pain in his heart and couldn't express it.I can count the days before and after I got along with Kun'er, and I feel like a knife is piercing my heart, let alone Zhang Qishan.

"Zhang Qishan——" Wu Xie couldn't bear it, and stretched out his hand to lightly rest on the palm of Zhang Qishan's knee.When Fang was touched by Wu Xie, Zhang Qishan couldn't bear it anymore, curled up forcefully, and pressed Wu Xie's hand tightly to his chest.At this moment, the back that was always perfect was bent like a green bamboo that was blown by a strong wind, and Wu Xie could only feel the slight trembling when he stroked it.There was also a gust of wind outside the car window, and the trees on the side of the road were howling in grief. Wu Xie looked at the fallen leaves that were torn to pieces in the wind, and heard Zhang Qishan speak slowly.

"I took Li Zhongtang as an example, and Xinghua first raised young people. Among the children sent out, Kun'er was not the best. In the days when I first brought him back, he hardly spoke. I thought that after going abroad, among all the children, he wrote me the most letters. All the time and money he saved were used to write letters to me, and he respected and loved me as his father between the lines. I didn’t reply very much, and sometimes scolded him for thinking No. In fact, I read every word of his letter, and all of their letters. I sent them out one by one, and then brought them back one by one, and sent them to a battlefield called death! "Zhang Qishan's voice choked, and Wu Xie's hand buried in his chest felt the tremor in his chest. Zhang Qishan's grief is not so much for young people like Kun'er and Mudun, but more for this helpless era, "My Children—oh my children!"

Wu Xie had already burst into tears, and the tears fell on Zhang Qishan's back drop by drop.Wu Xie bent down and put her cheek on Zhang Qishan's back, and said softly: "Qishan, the country is like a big tree in the sky. Kun'er and I are both hundreds of millions of leaves on Cangqiu. If the tree When the roots are dead, the leaves may struggle and resist in the face of the ravages of the strong wind, but they will inevitably wither in the end. But you are not, you are the arborist guarding under the tree. With people like you, the roots are still alive. There are some. But can you save the leaves falling from the tree? You see, in the wind outside, there are so many fallen leaves, which one should you catch first? There is no way, there is no way, what you have to do is to Only people like you can turn fallen leaves into spring mud."

A moment later, Zhang Qishan turned around and hugged Wu Xie's waist, but still did not look up, "Wu Xie, I'm sorry, I am such a broken and painful soul—"

Wu Xie interrupted Zhang Qishan's words, "Zhang Qishan, after meeting you, my heart is complete, so I will fill in all your imperfections. This may be the reason why God brought me here."

Zhang Qishan just held Wu Xie's hand tightly, without saying a word all the way.

When night fell, they entered Changsha City with the convoy. The car the two were sitting in was at the end of the convoy and stopped for half a minute as it drove past Zhang's mansion.In the dark night, there was not even a single light on the long street. Two black figures got out of the car and were quickly helped in by the people inside the door. Then the car immediately drove away to catch up with the convoy.Someone had already notified the housekeeper and the adjutant, and they stood inside the door, and when they heard the sound of the car stopping, they ran out and took Wu Xie and Zhang Qishan into the inner courtyard.

"Buddha, how are you?" The butler noticed that Zhang Qishan's posture was not right as soon as he put his hands on it, and hurriedly ordered his servants to deliver the prepared hot water to the main room. Slightly, the adjutant helped him to sit down on the sofa.

In fact, Zhang Qishan suffered a lot of injuries all the way down, and the rock when he finally escaped from the crack was almost the last straw. Coupled with Kun'er's death, he was already physically and mentally exhausted.Returning to the familiar environment at this moment, seeing the adjutant and the housekeeper, he relaxed in one breath, and fell into a coma at this time.

Wu Xie rushed in when she saw Ah Tai carrying the medicine box on her back, and the adjutant helped. It took the two of them to deal with Buddha's injury in the middle of the night.With the help of the housekeeper and others, Wu Xie also changed his clothes and cleaned the wounds on his body of different depths.The butler should also have some experience. He has checked the wounds and they are not serious, so they bandaged them one by one.

"How is the Buddha?" Wu Xie couldn't wait to ask, seeing Ah Tai put the quilt on Zhang Qishan.

"The injury is a bit serious, and it's not that I can't resist it, but it's certain that I won't be able to move much recently." Tai said.

The butler over there waved his hand and asked the servant to take out the dirty clothes and rags on the ground first, and waited for everyone to retreat before he said to Wu Xie: "You should also rest, don't worry too much, and wait for other matters." Take a breather and speak again."

"Yes." Wu Xie nodded, "Thank you."

"Entering and exiting is the door of a family, so you are welcome."

The housekeeper turned around to leave, Zhang Qishan who had been lying down with his eyes closed called out to him, breathing weakly, and said: "Keep Lao Wu for a few more days, I won't be able to move, and I have to support him."

"You are good at giving birth, the rest is up to me and the adjutant, so there is no need to say more." The butler replied.

54 chapter

Watching the butler close the door, Wu Xie climbed onto the bed lightly, wanting to lean on Zhang Qishan, but afraid of pressing his wound, so she moved aside again.

Zhang Qishan lay flat and did not move, and said softly: "It's okay, just come here a little bit."

"Is it possible?" Wu Xie hesitated for a while, but still leaned close to Zhang Qishan, slowly stroking his arm with his fingers and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"Oh—it's still a little bit, what should I do, if it hurts, it's a human being, not your Buddha." Zhang Qishan laughed.

Wu Xie didn't say a word, his fingers had already reached his chest, and his palms were pressed against his heart, and he asked, "Where is this place?"

"—" Zhang Qishan's chest rose and fell, and he was silent for a moment, knowing that he didn't need to pretend to be with Wu Xie, and said in a low voice, "It hurts."

Wu Xie got up and lay down on Zhang Qishan's chest, put his lips together and imprinted a kiss, then propped up his body and looked at Zhang Qishan in the dark, and said, "Give me all the pain." Seeing that Zhang Qishan didn't speak, he laughed lightly and said, "It doesn't seem to work."

"Wu Xie, I'm not afraid of pain, I'm afraid of your pain."

"Zhang Qishan, we're back."

"Well, I'm back."

Wu Xie was still half-supporting his body, stroking Zhang Qishan's shoulder with his head against his head, trying to relieve his pain.The window was not closed tightly, there was a gap, and a cool breeze came in from time to time, Zhang Qishan said worriedly: "Wu Xie, lie down! It's too cold."

"I'm afraid I'll fall asleep when I lie down." Wu Xie said.

"Why don't you sleep?"

"I want to watch the dawn before I believe this is not a dream."

Zhang Qishan's already squinted eyes widened, and said narrowly to Wu Xie: "You lower your head, I'll have a word with you."

"What?" Wu Xie bent down obediently, Zhang Qishan raised his head slightly, and blocked Wu Xie's lightly opened lips.This kiss was inseparable, until Wu Xie couldn't hold his bent body. Although Wu Xie didn't resist, he still stared at Zhang Qishan shyly.Zhang Qishan raised his hand to press the back of Wu Xie's head, forcing him to lower his head, kissed the trembling lips delicately, rolled Wu Xie into the quilt and lay down.

"Wu Xie, it's not a dream, I love you." Zhang Qishan said with a low smile.

Wu Xie remembered the first words he heard at his grandfather's house, and asked, "Do you love me, or the era you saw in me?"

Zhang Qishan's smile is stronger, he puts his own words in his heart, he feels everything with himself, even before he wants to cry, Wu Xie, who is worried that he will be in more pain and stops crying abruptly, is what Zhang Qishan is willing to do for. The reason for going through fire and water, "I love you on behalf of me, and love your era on behalf of my era!"

"But we've only known each other for a few days?" Wu Xie didn't hesitate, but he was also surprised by this.

"Some people have known each other for several years and agreed to go to the underworld together. This is fate. And some people have the honor of going through life and death and tasting all kinds of flavors together after a few days of acquaintance. This is fate."

In the cold air, Zhang Qishan's words fell into the bottom of Wu Xie's heart with warmth, leaving marks one by one, and these marks joined together to form a person's name.Wu Xie became hot from the bottom of his heart, and put his hand lightly on Zhang Qishan's body and said: "When we open our eyes again, a new era will come."

"I'll let it come."

The night was very quiet, breathing was very light, and the brazier next to the coffee table made crackling sounds. Feeling the hard-won stability, the two finally fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Wu Xie didn't open her eyes until she slept very late. When she turned over, she saw a strange scene - there were two Zhang Qishan in front of her. One was covered in bandages and was leaning on the bed and eating porridge, while the other turned his face away coldly. Hands stand by the bed.Wu Xie was stunned, and rubbed his eyes before remembering that the one standing there should be his own grandfather, he quickly jumped up from the bed, Zhang Qishan shouted, "Where are we going?"

"Uh—that—wash your face."

"Let them bring water and lie down."

Wu Xie had no choice but to sit down with his butt on the edge of the bed, and secretly glanced at his grandfather. Knowing that he couldn't escape the beating, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Grandpa, the little white mastiff—"

Although Wu Laogou still has no good face, compared to when Wu Xie first met, he has slowed down a lot.Unexpectedly, he was not annoyed when he heard this. He nodded and said, "I have heard from the Buddha before and after that the white mastiff is a rare alien dog, but it has no vitality and will even be abandoned by its parents. It is said that the white mastiff is In response to the robbery, when I got the white mastiff, I thought it might refer to this war. But when I saw you, I immediately realized that the white mastiff might be born for you." Speaking of this, Old Dog Wu stopped After a pause, there was still heartache on his face, "So don't be too sad, the white mastiff has its own destiny, and you can't force it to obey your destiny."

"En." Although Wu Xie nodded, he also understood that what Grandpa said was not unreasonable.Every time at a critical moment, Xiaobai Mastiff will take special spiritual actions to save himself. There must be some entanglement between his life and Xiaobai's life. Maybe Xiaobai's departure is to end the "knowing the destiny, God and Buddha".But recalling the small and soft body of the white mastiff, Wu Xie still couldn't help feeling sad.

Wu Laogou pointed Zhang Qishan and Wu Xie with his fingers, gritted his teeth and looked helpless, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "You guys rest more! Take care of your health! Then settle the score!"

Zhang Qishan snorted out of his nose, put down the bowl in his hand, and a servant immediately took it away, and the adjutant also walked in and gave a military salute to Zhang Qishan, and said to Old Dog Wu: "Fifth Master, you have to go out now." .”

Seeing them all leave, Zhang Qishan patted the place beside him, Wu Xie ignored it and went out to wash and eat.Before he got out of the bedroom, he heard Zhang Qishan curled up, wondering if the wound was open, and just turned around to take a closer look, Zhang Qishan threw him on the bed.

"You—ah!" Wu Xie said angrily, "Can you be careful! You're still injured!"

"If you don't run away, how could I be careless." When Zhang Qishan fell down, the clothes on his body slipped off, and his upper body was pressed against Wu Xie's body. Wu Xie's hot body was so warm that Wu Xie blushed from his face to the roots of his ears. But at this time, I also saw that the blue handprint on Zhang Qishan's shoulder was getting deeper and black, so he touched it and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it's numb." Zhang Qishan turned over and let Wu Xie lie on top of him, "The corpse smell is too heavy. The steward helped me pull out the corpse smell seven or eight times this morning. It seems that I can't get rid of it. Let it go, I will tattoo a dragon later, this handprint just happens to be a dragon's horn and a dragon's beard, what do you think?"

"I'm afraid this corpse aura will affect your body, and you can't help yourself. Ask me what I'm doing. I'm hungry, so I'll come back after eating." Wu Xie said, this piece of Qishan is also so bold, what people are worried about is corpse aura , he was worried that it would not look good.

Zhang Qishan seemed to see through his thoughts and said: "In this way, others will not say that I have the way of zongzi, but will say that Master Zhang has been in the corpse of a thousand-year-old zongzi, and it is not a big deal."

Wu Xie felt distressed and funny at the same time, nodded straight and said: "Yes, yes, my Buddha is a great hero."

55 chapter

Different from the leisurely time when he first came here, Wu Xie spent the most stable and warm time during the past few days of recuperating. This feeling of dust settled has never even happened in his past life.Zhang Qishan's health was getting better day by day, but Wu Xie's body was weak and he recovered more slowly, and in the end it was Zhang Qishan who took care of him.But Wu Xie, who had no reason, liked this feeling very much. Except for the need to endure the test of taking medicine, he simply lay down and continued to pretend to be sick.

On the second day after returning from the mausoleum, Zhang Qishan sent someone to deliver the jade Ruyi displayed on the shelf to Er Yuehong.The man came back with Er Yuehong's message, saying that everything was fine for him, but he was extremely sorry for what happened to Kun'er, so Yu Ruyi never dared to accept it again, and he would come to visit again when Kun'er's funeral was fixed.Zhang Qishan ordered that person to send Yu Ruyi to his door for the second time, but he didn't say anything else.

Kun'er's body was delivered in the night of the second day. The housekeeper personally wiped Kun'er's body and changed his clothes. He found a good mahogany coffin and Zhang Qishan's tomb.On the day of the burial, Wu Xie saw Er Yuehong again, and only then did she know what happened that day.

It is said that Er Yuehong, Kun'er and Ah Tai escaped from the crack in the mountain, just like Zhang Qishan's plan. They wanted to go back from the back mountain and find the car left by Er Yuehong and their second echelon.Unexpectedly, the car had been discovered by the Japanese army and was ambushed all around.There are too many opponents, and there will be no benefit if you fight hard.Kun'er forced Er Yuehong and Ah Tai to leave first with their things, saying that they could not let the things brought out of the tomb fall into the hands of the Japanese army.At that time, Er Yuehong was seriously injured, and he lost so much blood that he could hardly even walk, and everyone who stayed could only die together, so Ah Tai had to carry him by force and escape first.Er Yuehong knew the end of Kun'er who stayed alone, but what can she do? Times make heroes, and times can also trap heroes.

"Fortunately, you are back." Er Yuehong watched the coffin cover being filled with soil one by one, and bowed to the grave, "Buddha, I believe the destiny and destiny you said The suffering of troubled times, suffering in the body is like duckweed, and life is like grass. I have always been indifferent to these things, and I am even more apprehensive as if the suffering is adding to the suffering. I, Er Yuehong, have nothing to do with the matter of going to the ground. Buddha, what you entrusted before The Zhang family, return it to you, I only hope that you will cherish yourself from now on."

"Thank you."

In February, the red-collar Xie Piao left, the sky was getting dark, looking at the sky from a distance, half of the sun was setting and the other half was gray, it seemed that rain was about to fall but couldn't, and it seemed that there were tears about to fall but couldn't tell why.A young man was waiting under a tree not far away. Wu Xie could tell from such a distance that the young man was different from Kun'er, with a bit of hostility in his eyes, and he followed Er Yuehong.Wu Xie heard from his grandfather that Chen Pi Asi was always by Er Yuehong's side in the early years. Although he was obedient at that time, he was not so innocent, but only after being kicked out by Er Yuehong did he do his best. Heinous deeds.

Soon after, Zhang Qishan resumed his daily military affairs, and Wu Laogou also left Zhang Qishan's house. Before leaving, he glanced at Wu Xie and didn't ask anything else. dog!"

Zhang Qishan told Wu Laogou to treat Wu Xie as his cousin no matter inside or outside, and never mentioned the reason, so Wu Laogou didn't ask.

After a month like this, it has been a long time since that adventure. Wu Xie felt that the fear would gradually fade away with time, even the pain. This state is actually very helpless.

Wu Xie didn't go out that day, and was lying on the sofa watching rubbings. Zhang Qishan rushed in from outside with the wind blowing, threw off his cloak and threw it on Wu Xie.

"How old is he?" Wu Xie took off his cloak angrily, and was held in his face by Zhang Qishan.

"What are you doing?" Wu Xie propped his elbows on the sofa, and found Zhang Qishan's face showing joy that he hadn't seen for a long time.Although Zhang Qishan always showed a warm side when he was with Wu Xie on weekdays, he was always calm and not as hot as the current moment, so he asked with a smile, "What happy event?"

Zhang Qishan half-kneeled beside the sofa, held Wu Xie's face and looked at it carefully, recalling it, he said guiltily: "After I came back, I was busy with the delayed things and ignored you, am I bored?"

Wu Xie leaned on the sofa, stroking Zhang Qishan's hair, "What's wrong? There's no reason?"

"In your place, if two people are together, what will they do?"

Wu Xie wanted to turn away his face, but Zhang Qishan pinched his cheek firmly, so he was forced to look at him with a smile and said, "We call this dating."

"Then what do you do when you're in love?"

"What are you doing—" Wu Xie thought for a while, the only experience he had was when he was in college, that ignorant girlfriend who couldn't even be called a girlfriend, didn't even hold hands firmly.After that, maybe it was because I saw a lot of things around me, and I went to the field with my third uncle in the past two years. After that, I didn't care about this idea at all, and I didn't even have the idea of ​​falling in love at all. The relationship with Zhang Qishan was purely a coincidence. .He said, "Many of us may have done everything we can do in a relationship, but we can have no love at all in our hearts. On the contrary, if two people have the same heart, it is good to do anything together."

Zhang Qishan just squatted down and leaned over, wrapping one hand around Wu Xie's waist, a chapped lip moved up, Wu Xie was in pain from scratching, and the tip of his tongue immediately tasted a bit of blood, Zhang Qishan only wanted to push him away No, finally couldn't bear it after a while, put his foot on Zhang Qishan's chest and said: "Hey, it's broad daylight, that's enough, just climb up the pole." Wiping the blood on his lips, he touched the one with distress A face full of stubble asked, "Why is it bleeding?"

"You must be thirsty. I was waiting for news from the front line last night. I forgot to drink water. I will rush back immediately after the meeting."

"Go and rest."

"No." Zhang Qishan pressed Wu Xie who was about to get up, "No matter what, I still want to accompany you to do what you like. Wu Xie, although it's unfair to ask you to cooperate with my time, can you borrow my time?" My day?"

"Anyday is fine, I am willing, but not today, look at you—" Wu Xie saw that Zhang Qishan's eyes were bloodshot, and there was a bright red drop of blood dripping from his pale lips, which further accentuated the injury. How hard it is for a healed man.

"It's today, okay?" Zhang Qishan clearly clenched Wu Xie's hands, but he still wanted to ask if it was okay. He was used to giving orders, but he did his best to let go of his posture, although this posture was still a bit It's blunt, but it's enough for Wu Xie who understands everything.

"Zhang Qishan, have you ever been to Dongting Lake?"

56 chapter

Zhang Qishan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "When the garrison troops passed by, they stayed in Miluo for a few days, so I went to see it once."

"Then accompany me to Dongting Lake?"

How could Zhang Qishan need Wu Xie to say it a second time, and immediately asked the adjutant to prepare the car.Wu Xie saw that he was really happy today, so why force him to rest to spoil his interest, followed behind and handed a cup of ginseng tea, and after drinking, the two went out together.The weather was fine, Wu Xie was still wearing a white brocade gown, which Zhang Qishan liked.

After bumping all the way, he arrived at the destination very quickly, the adjutant had already asked someone to prepare the boat.Zhang Qishan ordered his adjutant to wait on the shore. The lonely boat in the lake was not in any danger, so he helped Wu Xie get on the boat, and the boat left the shore as soon as Penny supported it.

When he was far away from the shore, Zhang Qishan stopped rowing and rolled up his military robe and sat down next to Wu Xie.It was the noon, when the lake was sparkling and the sky was the same color. It was the time when the scenery was beautiful, and even Zhang Qishan showed a sense of comfort.

At this time, Wu Xie had no scruples, and asked directly: "I'm so happy today, what's the matter?"

"The great victory at Kunlun Pass, the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army was almost wiped out. Although our army lost a lot, it is the first time that such a huge blow has been dealt to the Japanese Army. Wu Xie, do you think I should be happy?" Speaking of Zhang Qishan was beaming with joy at his achievements, and said again, "I heard that the army has developed a combat force of about a hundred regiments in the enemy's rear. If the Kuomintang and the Communist Party can cooperate and attack back and forth, the recovery of rivers and mountains is just around the corner!"

Wu Xie was always looking at Zhang Qishan with a smile in his eyes, but when he talked about the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, his eyes flickered slightly. Zhang Qishan immediately noticed it and sighed: "I also expected that cooperation will be difficult, and the battlefield will inevitably repeat itself. There is still a long way to go. -"

This time Wu Xie really laughed out loud, covered the back of Zhang Qishan's hand, leaned closer and jokingly said: "You are so smart, you can know your destiny just by my expression, it's very dangerous, you know?"

Zhang Qishan also laughed, because he knew in his heart that Wu Xie had all the answers, so it was inevitable to guess Wu Xie's expression when speaking.Sometimes cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness. If you guess wrong, it will be self-defeating.So he patted Wu Xie's hand, clasped his fingers together, and said, "We won't talk about military affairs today!"

Wu Xie leaned on Zhang Qishan's shoulder, looking at the misty clouds in the sky where the distant mountains meet, "Zhang Qishan, let us watch the changes in the world, and don't try to make some changes beyond our own heart. It flows slowly, and what should come naturally comes."

"En." Zhang Qishan also had his own worries, but he didn't want to make Wu Xie worry about him anymore, so he nodded and kissed Wu Xie's hair and asked, "Why do you want to come to Dongting Lake?"

Wu Xie was silent for a long time, her tone was suppressed and low, "Although it has been more than a month since that incident happened, I have dreamed of the underground village several times, and I also checked the historical materials according to the records in the notebook. I want to know what kind of existence Jishi is. How long have they lived underground, and what is it for? Sometimes I even feel that there are too many disturbances in this world, and my eyes have been covered with veils. It’s because they live underground purely and cleanly, and the world in front of their eyes is more beautiful than what we see. Isn’t this ridiculous? So I want to take a closer look, whether Dongting Lake or anything else, this place is worthy of our stay and guarded world."

"When the war is over, I will take you to see the beauty of the world."

"Well, for Kun'er, Mudun, and for all the people who died in the war and have not had time to see it, they have traveled every inch of the land."

The wooden boat shook slightly, causing ripples. The people on the boat could no longer hear what they were saying, but the figures reflected on the water were getting closer and closer.Whispering warm words endlessly, the world is cold and the days are short, how can the color of the unspring be compared with the lingering Youyun on the lining boat.

On this day, the adjutant and the guards waited for a long time on the shore, shot two hares, and warmed up a few sips of wine. The two of them drank it separately.It was not until the sun was about to set that the boat docked in the red sunset. The adjutant had already put down the wine in his hand and waited on the shore. Xindao Buddha also became a fairy today. Wouldn't he feel hungry if he didn't eat or drink for a day?Fortunately, a roasted hare was left for them.

The adjutant did not expect that the two of them were in good spirits, their faces may have been exposed to the sun for a long time, and the blush had not faded, especially the little Buddha who was following behind, his eyes were even brighter, as if he had absorbed the color of the lake.
