The rain poured incessantly, and a thick layer of rain curtains hung under the eaves. The water splashed on the ground, and then converged into small streams, crisscrossing and stretching into the distance.

"When will this weather come to an end? Li Qing leaned back in his chair and sighed helplessly.

"Hehe, I guess it will last for two or three months, and the first month hasn't passed yet. Qian Liming said with a smile, got up and closed the door tightly, and by the way, he also closed the noisy rain outside the door, "The Acropolis is high, no matter how heavy the rain is, it can't drown us, and it's hard to talk about other places." I heard the day before yesterday that the Longxi Army stationed along the Guluo River had withdrawn its defensive line. With such a heavy rain lying here, even if you want to fight this battle, you can't do it. ”

Deng Shi tugged at the corners of his mouth: "You can't say that, but don't forget how the Sixth Longxi War was fought." Hamai took advantage of the rainy season to attack the defenders along the ancient scoop river in Longxi, thus starting the horrific massacre. If I were Hammersweat and wanted to start the Seventh Longxi War, I would take advantage of this time. ”

"Hehe, the Shillong people are only afraid that they are powerless now. All the high-ranking members of the Third Army have been eliminated by you, and it is already good for the soldiers under your command not to mutiny, so how can they still have the ability to start a war. Qian Liming sat on the chair and shook his head with a smile, "I have to say that this operation is really a great thing, and it can be regarded as avenging the blood of the people of Longxi who died in that massacre." ”

Deng Shi blinked, leaned back in his chair, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "Really? ”

Qian Liming looked dazed: "How do you say this?"

"The root cause of the contradictions between the two countries has never been resolved, and our vain attempt to stop the killing by killing will only deepen the hatred in the end, which is tantamount to quenching our thirst by drinking water. I always feel that the Longxi War will never stop here, and maybe it won't be long before there will be a seventh, eighth, even ninth, or tenth war. ”

After Deng Shi said this, he looked at Li Qing, as if he wanted to ask for his opinion. Li Qing listened with a ride, his eyes always stayed on the telephone on the table, and he didn't take his eyes off for a moment.

"I don't know. Li Qing replied lightly.

Although he seemed to have an answer in his heart, Li Qing was unwilling to admit it. Because as long as he admits it, Shi Yinghui's sacrifice, Ji Wenbin's sacrifice, and the suffering of everyone around him will become meaningless.

It wasn't until two years later, when Li Qing stood at the crossroads of the bustling city, staring at the front page of the newspaper in his hand, that he couldn't help but sigh softly: "Master Deng is right, the war has never stopped..."

But at this moment, Li Qing is still in that kind of hectic and contradictory, and he has not yet recovered from the cruelty of the deep well plan, and he can't be relieved. In any case, although this operation was not facilitated by him, it was created by him, and most of the responsibility for this was heavily pressed on Li Qing's shoulders.

Following Li Qing's gaze, Deng Shi also focused on the phone, and chuckled: "Since you want to call so much, let's call one." ”

"There's so much to say, but I don't know what to say. ”

Master Deng smiled: "You can say anything, but it's best not to mention this operation, my little nephew hasn't been born yet." Otherwise, you would have said that you had gone out to drink flower wine these days, and you only came to your senses this morning. ”

Li Qing's face was black: "Then I'm afraid... It's going to be more serious. ”

"Whatever you want. Deng Shi stood up slowly and beckoned to Qian Liming, "Let's go see the others, what time is it, why haven't you gotten up yet." ”

With a slightly dull gaze, Li Qing ordered in a low voice: "Prepare a table of wine and food, and go over when I finish calling." ”

Deng Shi and Qian Liming were both stunned for a moment, the two of them glanced at each other, nodded silently, turned around and walked through the hall, and went upstairs.

As soon as he turned the staircase, Deng Shi gently pulled Qian Liming's arm: "Did you really call your sister-in-law?"

"Ahh Qian Liming nodded with a wooden face, "I thought at that time that the eldest brother might not be able to come back, he is the head of the Li family, a big man in Lingang, in case... Some things have to be... You'll have to deal with it. Send a message to your sister-in-law in advance, so you're prepared, aren't you? ”

Deng Shi glanced at Qian Liming: "The captain is still thinking about hiding it from his family, if he knows that you have ventilated first, he will have to castrate you..."

Li Qing grabbed the microphone and hesitated for a while. Finally, I took a deep breath and finally made up my mind and dialed the number.

"I'm Lin Qiuqiu, who are you?" The phone was quickly answered, and a familiar and rapid voice sounded in Li Qing's ears.

"It's me, Qiuqiu..."

After being silent for a while, Lin Qiuqiu's annoyed reprimand suddenly came from the microphone: "Do you still know that you have called back? I haven't even had a message for so long, where did I go to be merry and happy? You don't care about so many things at home, you don't care at all, I can't contact you on the phone, and I don't even have anyone to discuss..."

"Qiuqiu, you... Are you alright?"

The momentum just now suddenly became mute, and after a long while, Lin Qiuqiu asked in a low voice, "Do you think I'll be fine?"

"I'm sorry I've been out for too long. You don't want to be angry, being angry is not good for the body, right... Not in good health. ”

"I ask you, when will you be back?"

Li Qing gritted his teeth: "There are still some things in Longxi right now..."

"I ask when you'll be back!"

"I guess there's another month. ”

"A month, it should be about the same..."Lin Qiuqiu muttered softly.

Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "Huh, what did you say?"

"I'll give you another month! If you can't come back after a month, I'll strangle you!" Lin Qiuqiu suddenly turned into an angry tone again, "You must give me an explanation after you come back! I'm not your Li family's maid, I don't have time to deal with the mess for you every day!"

"Qiuqiu, don't worry, as soon as I go back, we will have a wedding immediately. Li Qing nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "I will definitely marry you into the Li family mansion in a beautiful way." ”

"Remember what you said! Give you another month, and if you don't come back, I won't be able to spare you!"

"Yes, yes. ”

"Okay, you take care of yourself, come back to me completely, and don't miss arms or legs. I was so busy that I hung up first. Lin Qiuqiu said, hung up the phone directly, and threw the phone on the bed. Then he pulled out a tissue from the side and began to wipe his tears.

"Don't worry, he's fine. Lin Qiuqiu pursed her lips and choked and muttered, "This one has no conscience, I can't get angry when I hear his voice now." ”

At this moment, on the sofa opposite the bed, Fang Yong, Long Wu, Ning Manxuan, and Mu Rouer sat in a row, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and collapsed on the sofa with a tired face.

"It's really scary. Long Wu raised his hand and rubbed his temples, "It's okay, it's okay." Otherwise... The sky of the Li family is really falling. ”

"Is my brother okay?" Li Xiaoman sat in the corner, raised his little head and blinked his big black and white eyes. This little girl is only twelve or thirteen years old, but she is already getting more and more smart. The only fly in the ointment is that she can't see the tranquility that a normal girl should have on her body at all, but she is crazy all day long, giving birth to a tomboy.

"It's okay. Ning Manxuan replied with a smile, "Xiaoman is also worried." ”

"Cut, I'm not worried, my brother will be fine. Li Xiaoman stood up and blew the bangs on his forehead, "I'm going to play with my classmates, Sister Qiuqiu, don't cry, I'll come to see you at night." ”

Lin Qiuqiu wiped his reddened eye circles with a tissue, and the corners of his lips gently pulled out a soft smile: "Go ahead, pay attention to safety." ”

"Well, I'll go. Li Xiaoman's small body jumped high, and when he landed, he stumbled and almost fell on his heels. Long Wu hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of her clothes, and shouted doting with doting eyes: "Be careful, a girl is still so naughty, go back and let your father clean you up!"

"Stinky old man, I want you to take care of it!" Li Xiaoman twisted her body and struggled for a moment, and something fell out of her pocket and fell on the mahogany floor with a thud.

It was a small and delicate pistol, produced in Germany, with a load of five rounds, which was given to Lin Qiuqiu by Li Qing for self-defense when he left Lingang.

The little face turned white for a while, and Li Xiaoman shrank his neck at the moment, and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak out of the house.

"How can you have this thing!" Fang Yong's eyes were quick, he got up and grabbed Li Xiaoman's collar and carried her to Lin Qiuqiu's bed.

Long Wu also picked up the pistol from the floor, took it in his hand and checked it, with a solemn expression: "The insurance has been opened, you kid, how can you play with such a dangerous thing." ”

Lin Qiuqiu stared at the pistol in Long Wu's hand tightly, and his eyes widened in shock: "Xiaoman, what are you doing stealing from me." ”

Long Wu was stunned for a moment: "This is yours?"

Lin Qiuqiu nodded: "I was locked in a drawer, and I don't know how she took it away." ”

"I... I think..."Li Xiaoman stumbled, "If something really happens to my brother, that Li Shi will definitely not give up, Sister Qiuqiu is now pregnant with a baby again..."

"If Li Shi dares to make trouble, I will kill him at that time. ”

"Nonsense!" Long Wu snorted coldly, his whole face was iron-blue, "Things between adults, what kind of fun are you a little kid doing! Study hard, go to school, there is nothing to do with you!"

"You know a fart!" Li Xiaoman rolled his eyes, opened his small mouth and bit the back of Fang Yong's hand, then took the opportunity to break free and ran out.

Fang Yong rubbed his palms, stared at the red tooth marks, and grinned in pain: "This little girl, her mouth is ruthless enough." ”
