The man nodded, looked at Du Heng and asked, "You just said that you are Minister Zhou's prisoner?"

Du Heng hurriedly replied: "Exactly." Since years ago, Minister Zhou has locked us up. You are not allowed to step out of this room, let alone contact with the outside. Du Heng still can't tell whether these people and Bai Qing are friends or foes, the current situation is too complicated, Du Heng is afraid that he will talk too much, and he will do something that should not be recruited.

But the man was as careful as dust, refusing to let go of any detail, and asked, "Why are you closed?"

Du Heng pursed his lips and shook his head to look at the man: "It's a long time to talk." If you are interested, you may wish to report the above, and I will talk about it in detail. Du Heng deliberately hung her appetite, if she didn't report it, she wouldn't say it.

The man naturally understood what Du Heng meant, laughed sullenly, and said to Du Heng: "Okay, I'll report." As he spoke, he turned to the guards and said, "Get Doctor Hu to treat the children here." Report to me if there is a problem. He turned and walked away.

Du Heng finally has some gains from climbing his fellow countrymen. I couldn't help but look at the soldier and ask, "Who is that man? Is that your superior?"

The one who was asked nodded: "It's our Second Lieutenant Gu." ”

Du Heng didn't know how big an officer the second lieutenant was, and the soldiers were respectful, and he thought it was not small, so he said casually: "It looks quite young." ”

A soldier next to him loosened his legs and said, "He and the division commander are fellow countrymen, so they can lift it quickly." ”

The soldier glared at him and whispered, "Don't chew your tongue." The division commander was born and died in the southwest for more than ten years, and didn't the people also suffer for so many years?"

Du Heng didn't think much about it and walked back to the house, not only was she a little curious about that Second Lieutenant Gu and the division commander. Since the teacher and he are fellow countrymen, they are also from Yangzhou, could it be that they are also from Gujiazhuang? Who will it be? Du Heng also knew a lot of people from the east and west families when he stayed in Gujiazhuang, and at this moment he couldn't help but secretly speculate whose child it would be. At that time, there were many children in the family, and many of them went out to serve in the army, do business, and study, and their families no longer knew where they were going.

In the evening, suddenly two soldiers with guns walked in and instructed Du Heng: "Our division commander wants to see you." ”

So fast? It seems that Ensign Gu really thought about the feelings of the fellow and helped her deliver the words. Du Heng changed into a clean blue cloth dress, followed the two soldiers to see the division commander, turned his head and instructed Du Juan: "Take care of my brother, my aunt will come back later." There was some horror in Du Juan's eyes, she was afraid of separating from Du Heng, but she had to nod helplessly.

Du Heng followed the soldiers, walked through the backyard, and then through several arched doorways and a few lawns, and finally arrived at a three-story small building, the small building is also in Western architectural style, there are soldiers guarding outside, I think it is the original Minister Zhou's office building, and what is staying inside at the moment should be the "division commander" in their mouths. ”

Du Heng followed into the small building, and when he reached the outside of a room on the second floor, a soldier walked to the door: "Report, someone brought it." ”

"Please come in. Du Heng listened to the voice of Second Lieutenant Gu. The soldier opened the door, and Du Heng looked at the room from the door, a small conference room, with a strip table in the middle of the room, floor-to-ceiling velvet curtains, a telephone in the corner, and a hanging portrait of Mr. Sun Yat-sen on the wall, all of which showed the identity and grandeur of the original owner here.

On one side of the strip table stood Second Lieutenant Gu, and next to Second Lieutenant Gu was a man in a military uniform, with his back to Du Heng, smoking a cigarette against the window. The house smelled of smoke.

After the soldier brought Du Heng in, he closed the door and went out, leaving only Du Heng, Second Lieutenant Gu and the man in the room. Du Heng nodded lightly to Ensign Gu and greeted: "Ensign Gu." Is this the teacher?"

Hearing Du Heng's voice, the man's back suddenly shook, turned around suddenly, stared at Du Heng tightly, his eyes were almost bursting with brilliance, and he didn't even realize that the cigarette butt in his hand was burning, and his voice was full of surprise: "Heng'er?"

Du Heng looked at the man who turned around, his whole body seemed to have been knocked on a stick, she was dreaming, she must be dreaming. Closing his eyes and opening them again, the person was still standing in front of him, and he called her name? Du Heng called softly as if in a dream: "Big brother?"

The man couldn't help nodding, and had already strode to Du Heng's side, holding Du Heng's shoulder, and his voice trembled slightly: "Heng'er, you have been wronged." ”

Du Heng greedily glanced at the faces of the people in front of her, her eldest brother, who had been away from home for many years and had no news, was standing in front of her so vividly at this moment, and in a flash, Du Heng's tears poured out, she couldn't speak, and her tears were like a flood that had broken the gates.

Du Heng suddenly felt an unprecedented exhaustion, she had been frightened, worried and afraid, she was not afraid that her life would be threatened, for her, she was already a wandering body. She was just afraid that the people in her life would leave one by one, and she was just afraid that she wouldn't be able to protect Du Juan and Siheng. Many times she woke up in a dream, she had to go to the room of the two children to see if they were okay. But in front of the child, she still has to pretend to be calm. Now facing her eldest brother, a big brother who is strong enough to protect everyone, she suddenly unloaded all her tiredness. Du Heng's tears were gurgling, and she didn't know where she got so many tears.

After I don't know how long, Second Lieutenant Gu reminded: "Senior Commander Qiao, do you want to change the room for Miss Du?"

Du Heng was stunned: "Senior Commander Qiao?"

The eldest brother smiled faintly: "When I was doing the revolution, I changed my name, Qiao Yuan." ”

Du Heng nodded suddenly, just like Zhao Lingquan changed Bai Qing's reasoning.

Commander Qiao immediately ordered someone to find a sunny room behind the small building, and settled Du Heng and the two children into it. Seeing Du Juan and Si Heng, Master Qiao sighed again. He was from Rong and has been in the southwest border, first fighting warlords, and then encircling and suppressing the Communist Party, born and died for more than ten years, and his wife and children were killed in the war.

Looking at the smart cuckoo, Master Qiao touched her head and looked at Du Heng and smiled: "This girl is very similar to you when you were a child." Du Heng wanted to cry and laugh when he said this.

That night, Si Heng slept the earliest, Du Heng and his eldest brother kept chatting, and the cuckoo cat was in Du Heng's arms and kept listening. How many years of separation, how many years of turbulence, for a while there is some inexhaustible telling.

Master Qiao vacated two courtyards in Minister Zhou's official residence, one three-story building was used for his own office, and the other was for Du Heng to live with his children. The remaining courtyards were held by the original relatives and subordinates of Minister Zhou's official residence, and Second Lieutenant Gu led people to check them one by one, and then made a decision on how to deal with them.

Du Zhong has been asking someone to inquire about Du Heng's news, and within a few days of Du Heng and Qiao Shi's acquaintance, Du Zhong also came to find him. The three members of the Du family were finally reunited in Chongqing in the southwest. Du Heng looked at the new "Du Ruo" in Peilan's arms, and he couldn't say what it felt in his heart. Xiaoyu is dead, Shi Nan is dead, Bai Qing is dead, and all the past is gone. The child who smiles sweetly will start a new life. For a moment, Du Heng was a little distracted.

Within two days, another soldier reported to Du Heng that someone asked to see him. Du Heng was stunned for a moment, and someone else was looking for her, and hurriedly asked, "Did the person who came say who it was?"

The soldier replied, "They say it's from the Zhao family." ”

Du Heng's heart chuckled, his heart suddenly touched his throat, and he gradually regained his calm. The Zhao family, a name that is both distant, close, alienated, and worrying. Although she knew that there would be such a day, it would only be sooner or later. But it still hurts a little in my heart. Du Heng smiled faintly: "Please come in." As he spoke, he instructed the people around him, "Lead Siheng out." ”

After a while, the soldier led the people outside the door and walked in, Du Heng was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that so many people would come, Mrs. Zhao was supported by Poria Cocos, and Jackal Feather, Dongsang, and Shuangye all followed. Seeing Du Heng, everyone stood in place. But everyone's expression is different.

The jackal feather is delighted, and the winter mulberry Shuangye can't wait to pull out his feet and run over. The expression on Poria's face was the most complicated, but the old lady Zhao really startled Du Heng, the competitive woman in the past is now with all white hair, shaped like a tree, and her face is blue, she is only fifty or sixty years old, and she looks like an old man.

Du Heng looked at Mrs. Zhao, and his heart suddenly felt sour, this is his mother, his family. Thinking of him, her heart suddenly ached as if it had been plucked. At this time, the subordinate led Siheng from the backyard. Si Heng was playing a game of drilling rockeries with Du Juan in the backyard, and he was sweating at one end, and he didn't care about seeing that there were many people in the house, so he plunged into Du Heng's arms and shouted: "Aunt Heng, it's hot, I want to drink water." ”

Siheng's movements made Poria's heart hurt as if it had been pricked, it was her son. It's only been July and August, and he is so intimate with Du Heng, but shouldn't he be affectionate? And Mrs. Zhao looked at the child and Du Heng's closeness, and there was no sense of it.

The cuckoo ran after him from behind and laughed, and was about to laugh at Siheng, when he suddenly saw a room of people, smiled, and pursed his lips.

Du Heng rubbed Siheng's hair lovingly, and said softly: "I've told you several times, you can't drink water immediately when you're tired of playing, you have to take a break." As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Look who's coming?"

Si Heng raised his head at this time, looked at the person, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly pounced like crazy, and shouted "Niang-" so heartbreaking that everyone almost burst into tears.
