After eating, everyone got up to put away their plates. A little boy was standing in the doorway at some point, and Lady Mary was looking back to see him, and she was walking towards him with a smile on her face and an inner excitement, and the two of them embraced.

Mama Jiang said that it was an abandoned baby picked up by Ms. Mary, and he was so old for a while, because they existed with each other

"Fate", Mrs. Mary loves him very much, and often buys him food and toys. During their conversation, Mary called him

"Pippi" and then asked him if he had any symptoms of a high fever...... For some reason, Shen Danyu felt that the boy was smiling with a hint of sadness.

She continued to help in the orphanage, packed up a pile of discarded medical supplies and threw them away in small boxes, walked to the door and suddenly stopped, and looked back to see the little boy named Pippi leaning against the wall, looking down at the ground.

She called out his name and reminded him, "Pippi...... Children are not allowed to come in here...... Go out and play. Pipsqueak looked up, his little mouth pursed, his eyes full of gloom.

He tried to get through the door behind her, but she stopped him with one hand, she pulled him aside, crouched down and said to him, "You can't stay here, the little ones inside are sick, and it won't be good if they infect you." Pipsqueak suddenly looked inside the door and whispered, "My good friend is inside...... Without her, no one will play with me......" Shen Danyu was stunned, it turned out that he often stood here and peeked because his good friend was here.

Pippi's long eyelashes hung down, the boy's skin was very white and tender, his cheeks were round like meat balls when he laughed, and his black eyes were pitiful, and the way he looked at her suddenly reminded her of a certain look in her memory, but she couldn't remember who it was.

She picked up a leather ball next to her, feeling secretly uncomfortable, I don't know which pair of hard-hearted parents left such a cute and delicate child.

She said, "Go play on the lawn by yourself, and my sister will come to accompany you later, okay?" Pipsqueak blinked, took the ball from her hand and ran out.

She walked down the steps and tossed the cardboard boxes into the trash can outside the gate, and she heard the church bells ringing on time, and the aftermath echoed slowly.

She puts the box back in the infirmary and goes to look for Pipsqueak. On the path to the lawn, she sees Pipsqueak playing with a man from a distance, and the man throws the ball to him, and Pippi catches it, and Pipsqueak laughs happily and plays with the man.

Seeing this warm picture she smiled heartily and walked towards them, and when she was halfway through she suddenly stopped, and she could see the man's face clearly, and the golden afternoon sun shone on them, shining on her face, and they laughed heartily.

She hesitated for a moment, and said slowly from her mouth: "Senior......" Pippi saw her and beckoned to her, the man also looked over, and the smile was fixed on each other's faces, the man quickly regained his smile, came over to greet her, and said, "Shen Danyu, why are you here?" Shen Danyu saw Feng Shen, surprised and surprised, she said: "I still want to ask you, senior, why are you here......" She suddenly saw Feng Shen's arm wrapped in bandages, Feng Shen also looked at his arm, and said: " Martial law was fought in the Western District, and I was accidentally injured. "It turned out that he was the one the priest saved.

At that moment, she felt that this world was so small, that small as separated people met again, and fate invisibly weaved a net, so that people who may have been irrelevant for a long time met again along this net.

I don't know if this is called fate? Thinking of this, she suddenly smiled and lowered her head. They and Pipsqueak played until dinner time, and the two ended up chatting around the lawn as the coral-colored sunset shone on the ruined walls.

Quan Dacheng mastered the steering wheel and turned the road, Chen Yeping looked at the drawings in the back, and after a while, he looked a little tired and leaned his head on the pillow to rest.

Quan Dacheng observed from the rearview mirror, and after a while, he shouted, Chen Ye Ping

"Hmm". Quan Dacheng took a breath, as if he was going to say something extremely difficult, he said: "Right now, there is a war in the West District, and those villains are beaten to pieces and don't know where to hide, but ...... Isn't it a bit ...... for you to go to Jiangping to grab supplies now? Adventure?" Chen Yeping couldn't hear his words, he opened his eyes and said, "Don't you know that there is a shortage of guns and materials from the ferry now? If I don't agree, what will happen to the people on the front line?" Quan Dacheng was silent, he knew that Ying Shuhe's life and death were uncertain at the ferry, the communication equipment there had been cut off two days ago, and the telegrams sent out had not been answered.

He also knew that with the friendship between Ying Shuhe and Tian Zhaonian, Tian Zhaonian would not let go, so he asked Chen Yeping to collect a batch of arms and materials.

But this batch of munitions and materials needs to go to such a remote place, and they don't know where the real hiding place of that batch of materials is, it is very likely to be ambushed, their manpower is impossible to estimate, almost all of them are deserters who were defeated on this battlefield, and Chen Yeping can't be unaware of the danger to be taken.

Quan Dacheng was worried in his heart, and drove the car into the base camp, the soldiers outside solemnly saluted with their guns, and the car drove in front of them, and there was a breathtaking sense of tension in the yard and even around.

They walked upstairs, and Jeon Dae-sung stared at the anomalies around them. One of the people in the office opened the door and saw them returning, Noriko smiled, bowed to them, and said, "You're back." Noriko stood on the side of the door and let them in.

Chen Yeping took off his coat when he entered the door, Jizi took it from behind, looking at the spotless desktop, the documents were also organized in an orderly manner, Chen Yeping walked to the seat, and before he sat down, he said, "Have you touched the things on my table?" Jizi said respectfully: "The table is too messy, I'll clean it up for you." Chen Yeping didn't show any performance on his face, he opened the drawer on the side of his hand, and said lightly: "Don't clean up the table for me in the future, otherwise you won't be able to find anything anywhere." Noriko hurriedly said apologetically

"Yes", and then asked, "What are you looking for?" I'll find you—" Chen Yeping closed the drawer, waved his hand and said, "No need." You go wash my clothes and iron them, and we'll be out in a minute. Chen Yeping and Quan Dacheng closed the door and went out, Quan Dacheng only said: "I don't think there is anything wrong with Jizi, she is kind, why are you so hostile to her?" Chen Yeping looked up at him and smiled without saying a word, Quan Dacheng only felt that his scalp was numb when he looked at his smile, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, a person knocked on the door and took a document for Chen Yeping to sign, he picked up the Parker gold pen in the pen holder and quickly signed his name and handed it back.

An hour later, Jizi brought the washed clothes to Chen Yeping, when they were about to go out, Chen Yeping took the clothes and put them on and said to Jizi: "On the night of the sixteenth, you go to a dance with me." After hearing this, Noriko smiled and said, "I see." She stood at the door and watched them leave, and Quan Dacheng turned his head and said to her, "Noriko, you're about to get off work, let's send you back by the way." Jizi looked at Chen Yeping expressionlessly, shook his head and said no, but Chen Yeping said: "It's okay, we'll send you, it won't take long anyway." With permission, Noriko immediately puffed up her chest and said, "Thank you." Quan Dacheng and Noriko sat in the front row, and Chen Yeping closed his eyes in the back seat.

Jeon Dacheng said to Noriko beside him, "Noriko, I heard that your hometown is in Kyoto. Noriko was originally distracted, but when he asked himself, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, have you been there too?" Quan Dacheng shook his head and said, "I just asked casually." I heard that one of the teas there is good. Kiko said, "Are you talking about matcha?" Quan Dacheng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this is the kind of tea." I've never drunk it before!Noriko, how long have you been here?" Noriko lowered her head and said, "I came here with my sister when I was fifteen years old. Quan Dacheng looked at her with his spare eyes and said, "Yes, you also have a sister." I've never heard you talk about your sister, where is she?, do you keep in touch often?" Noriko was silent for a while, and she said softly, "Sister, she...... has passed away. Chen Yeping, who had been sitting in the back, opened his eyes slightly, and Quan Dacheng suddenly felt very sorry and apologized to Jizi.

Noriko shook her head and said, "It's okay. It's been a long time...... Moreover, I did things for Tian Dujun, and Tian Daejun specially asked me to let me serve Team Leader Chen. As she spoke, she glanced at Quan Dacheng, and then turned her head to look at Chen Yeping behind her, she saw that his eyes were slightly open, shining in the darkness, so she smiled at him and turned back.

After Kiko got out of the car, Quan Dacheng drove downhill, he looked ahead and sighed: "I didn't expect her to be quite pitiful, lonely and lonely in a foreign country." Chen Yeping was silent in the car for half a minute, and only then did he hear her say that her relatives were not in the world, and her heart was a little moved, but then she said: "Her background is pitiful, but if she is really helpless and has no heart, how can she stay by the Overseer's side for so long and trust her so much?" Quan Dacheng thought for a while, the woman Noriko was indeed a little suspicious, and he was speechless, so he had to continue driving silently.

A few rays of sunset in the night sky are stacked, and in this vast night it is like the dawn of dawn. He knew that when the new round dawned, a new battle would be ushered in.

Beating notes came out in a room, melodies and joyful singing accompanied by children's voices, and the morning light covered the leaves, penetrating the sunlight through the cracks.

Shen Danyu sat on a stool playing the piano, her long fingers swept over the keys, and after the song was played, the children's singing stopped.

She stood up and said, "You're awesome! Now you can go to the cafeteria for breakfast." The children came out, she saw Pippi in the corner, Pippi sat on the stool with his eyes half-closed as if he was very tired, Shen Danyu was so frightened that he hurriedly pressed his forehead, and after a while she exhaled, Pippi did not have a fever, she said: "Scared me to death." Pippi, why are you listless?" a few children gathered around and said, "Last night when we went to bed, there was a sound of trumpets blowing, and every once in a while, and we didn't sleep well. It was the horn of the border guard, Shen Danyu looked at Pippi, and saw that his eyes were dark, and there was always a horn sound intermittently playing at night these nights, and she heard it in the room, so she comforted the children: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days." So, after lunch, I'll go to a nap, and I'll take you to breakfast first, okay?" The children said together, "Okay!" Walking out the door, on the bench on the grass, she saw Feng Shen sitting there, looking down at a newspaper, his hair covering the corners of his forehead just to block the thin morning light.

Shen Danyu took the children to the cafeteria so she didn't go up to say hello, and when she came out after breakfast, Feng Shen was still sitting there, he was holding a wooden stick in his hand and drawing something on the grass, she walked over to say hello.

Feng Shen threw away the wooden stick and stood up, and said to the sky, "The weather is good today...... Suitable for picnic ...... Also good for going out for a walk. Shen Danyu responded and said, "Yes, but it's getting hotter and hotter recently, and there are soldiers outside the city" For some reason, a trace ......of worry flashed in Feng Shen's eyes, but as they walked on the path, Feng Shen said to her: "Have I asked you yet, why are you here?" Feng Shen's question hurt her heart like a blow to the head, she wanted to say it, but in the end she just lowered her head and didn't make a sound.

Feng Shen seemed to see that she had something unspeakable, so he said: "But fate is like this, it is also a good fate to meet again in the dark, don't you say?" Shen Danyu smiled and said, "Yes." Feng Shen looked into the distance and said, "That little boy named Pippi is very nice to you, right? Shen Danyu agreed: "He said that no one played with him, in fact, he was withdrawn, you see, now he can play with other children, he just needs the care and enlightenment of adults." Feng Shen looked at her meaningfully, Shen Danyu stopped to look at him, Feng Shen said: "If you finish your studies and become a teacher, you must be a good teacher." Shen Danyu smiled and said nothing, and suddenly Feng Shen asked: "By the way, have you seen Fang Shiyan?" Shen Danyu was stunned in her heart, she almost wanted to blurt out, but when she came to her mouth, she changed her mouth: "No ......" When she said this, she was inevitably weak-hearted, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Feng Shen breathed a sigh of relief, he still had something to say, and in the end he still felt that it was over. There they were standing, their eyes facing each other, each smiling at each other, in the light of the sun.
