Sixty-ninth

Outside the window, there is an endless sea of clouds, from west to east, connecting the two ends, carrying all her thoughts.

Before boarding the plane, Mrs. Charlton looked at her red eyes, and finally couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, and said with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Isabelle dear, I deliberately made Jing sick with a cold, I thought you wouldn't leave in this way, I thought I could keep you, China is so dangerous now, I'm really worried about ......"

Yisheng's heart was sour, but she couldn't say the words of reproach anyway, she reached out and shook Mrs. Charlton's hand, "I understand, I understand, I'm relieved to be by your side, I know you will take good care of her......"

She remembered her daughter's crying, but she couldn't hold back her tears and slipped down.

She didn't want Mrs. Charlton to see her gaffe and blame herself more, so she tried to hold back her tears, and smiled slightly, but her voice was choked, "Tell her that Mommy has gone to find Daddy, and soon, soon we will come together to pick her up." ”

Mrs. Charlton sobbed, "I will, I will......"

And Mr. Charlton saw his wife so sad, so he reached out and took her into his arms and patted her comfortingly, and then opened his mouth to Yisheng, "Isabelle, don't worry, Jing is here, we will do our best to take care of her, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Yisheng nodded lightly and thanked them with tears in his eyes.

And Mr. Charlton glanced at the plane that was about to take off, and the gentle and strong oriental woman in front of the plane, the night wind blew the corners of her trench coat, obviously such a thin and weak figure, but it was incredibly contained such a huge courage, not afraid of war, in vain about life and death.

He slowly spoke, "Isabelle, do you know, although I have been campaigning for aid to China before, but to be honest, I, like most people, am not optimistic about this war between your country and Japan. But now, as I look at you and Bo, I'm going to retract my previous opinion...... I believe that the power of faith is invincible, and I believe that nothing can make opponents more fearful than the unity of a nation, Taierzhuang is just the beginning, Isabelle, your country will eventually win this war - by that day, I will personally return the child to you in good health!"

"Madame Bo, drink a glass of warm water. The Times reporter on the same plane came to Yisheng with a glass of warm water, interrupting her thoughts.

Yisheng took it and thanked her, and the reporter looked at her pale face and faint tears in the corners of her eyes, and finally couldn't help but say: "Your face is so bad, why don't you sleep for a while, when you wake up, maybe we will go to China." ”

"Thank you. Yisheng smiled and thanked him, reluctant to brush off his obvious kindness.

It's just that how could she sleep, as soon as she closed her eyes, her daughter's little face flushed from crying filled her mind.

She originally thought that she wanted to compensate her for the best things in the world, and double the mother's love and regrets that she lacked in her childhood.

But in the end, she left her alone in a foreign country, and she left alone, she was really not a competent mother.

She brought the cup to her lips and took a slow sip of water, but she couldn't suppress the guilt and soreness that were surging in her heart.

When the reporter saw that she had agreed and drank water, he smiled heartily and said, "Then I won't disturb your rest - by the way, I forgot to introduce myself just now, I'm Kevin, a reporter from The Times, sitting in the back, if you need any help, just ask me." ”

Kevin said as he was about to go back to his seat, but he didn't want Yisheng to stop himβ€”

"Waitβ€”"

He turned around and saw the Oriental woman calmly asking him, "If you can, can you please make a visit for me?"

"Of course, when will Madame have time?" Kevin didn't expect her to ask for it, but he couldn't ask for it.

Yisheng smiled slightly, "If it's convenient for you, just now." ”

When their plane finally landed safely at the Chongqing military airport after several turnarounds, Kevin had already compiled a draft of the previous interview, just waiting for the press to be published.

When he walked out of the cabin with Yisheng, he heard her ask him, "Can the manuscript be published as soon as possible?"

Kevin couldn't help but be a little surprised, he has been to China many times, according to his understanding of the Chinese, most of them are restrained and do not like to publicize, and Mrs. Bo in his impression, is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, but now I don't know why, obviously unwell, but still insist on the interview, and even urged him to publish the time.

Although he felt a little strange, he did not say it, and then thought about it, China is now at wartime, and the publication of such a manuscript can indeed be more inspiring to the people and win international aid, and besides, there is nothing wrong with the report, and Mrs. Bo's choice to return to China at this time is very admirable.

Thinking so, he replied, "Madame, don't worry, I will definitely try to publish it as soon as possible." ”

The change in the expression on Kevin's face Yisheng couldn't see it, but he just smiled faintly and didn't want to say anything.

She slowly cast her eyes on this land that she had not set foot on for many years, and there was a faint sound of plane bombing ringing intermittently in her ears.

Kevin frowned, subconsciously wanted to comfort Yisheng beside him, and when he looked at it in a blink of an eye, he found that this seemingly weak oriental woman did not have any trace of fear and panic on her face, and between her picturesque eyebrows, there was an indescribable emotion, forbearance and firmness, gentleness and strength.

Kevin couldn't help but look a little stunned, but he felt that it was too impolite to stare at such a prominent Chinese woman without scruples, and he was about to force himself to look away, but at that moment, he suddenly saw that the woman's eyebrows and eyes were soft, and everything around him was dimmed in an instant.

She was originally gentle and beautiful, but in that gentleness, there was always a strong hardness, and now, this strong pretense has finally been removed, even if it is only for a short moment.

Her eyes were foggy as she walked down the stairs as Kevin followed her gaze and saw a sedan coming in their direction, a tall figure in uniform looming in the car.

The car came to a slow stop, and the general in uniform walked up to her, didn't say anything, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he firmly embraced her into his arms.

She looked at the black veil wrapped around his arm, and tears finally fell, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I originally wanted to bring Jingjing back, but she was sick, very sick......"
