Coming out of the train station, Fang Xingguo first took Fang Xuan to Uncle Kang's house, Fang Xuan loved to eat his noodles since he was a child, when he was a child, several brothers always took turns to take the little girl to run around, and when he was hungry, he came here to eat a bowl of noodles, with a cup of warm tea, in winter, the noodles were not cold, but he was still strong in eating, Uncle Kang was in his forties, single, unconcerned, he liked these children of the Fang family very much, and every time he came, he gave enough weight.

Fang Xuan was able to hold on, helping Fang Xingguo to hum and chirp and shout that he couldn't walk, Fang Xingguo was holding Fang Xuan with one hand and carrying his luggage in the other, a little struggling, and his steps slowed down unconsciously.

"Fourth brother, it's even on the street now." Fang Xuan glanced at the swaggering Japanese soldiers on the street.

"Well, so when you go home later, remember to go out less, and if there is anything, you must let me and my eldest brother follow."

"Hmm."

"By the way, fourth brother, what about Qiao Luo, how is Qiao Luo now, I received her letter last time, it was sent to Nanjing with you and my eldest brother, she said that you are teaching her to read, is Qiao Luo particularly smart." Fang Xuan jumped up and pulled Fang Xingguo's arm, full of interest.

Fang Xingguo heard Fang Xuan ask Qiao Luo, and suddenly fell silent.

Half a month ago, the Fang family's study.

Qiao Luo was reading calligraphy as usual, occasionally asking him some questions, but most of the time he was very quiet, rarely disturbing Fang Xingguo, I don't know how to get it this day, he always looked up at Fang Xingguo from time to time.

"Any questions?" Fang Xingguo couldn't write anymore when he saw it, so he simply put down his pen.

"Fourth brother, do you know Cui Hu?"

"I've read one or two."

"Then, do you know what Cui Hu's biggest regret is?"

Fang Xingguo looked at the little girl staring at him in front of him, Qiao Luo and Fang Xuan were about the same age, but their temperament was very different from their own changeable little sister, her sister repeatedly told herself to take more care of her few friends before leaving, Fang Xingguo's next burden has always been taken seriously, for Qiao Luo, in addition to being more patient because of the relationship between the little sister, it is more of the same responsibility as the students.

Recently, Fang Xingguo always felt that Qiao Luo was a little different, in the past, except for the problem of coming to the Fang family to find himself, it was almost rare, but in the past half a month, Qiao Luo had to come almost every other day or two, and he had to bring it for an hour or two each time, but Fang Xingguo always felt that the little girl might have seen her parents go back to Fengtian, and wanted to come to the Fang family to wait for her little sister, but today.

Fang Xingguo frowned, his heart became more and more uneasy, and when he looked up again, he already looked clear, because he had been in poor health since he was a child, except for his family and students, when he rarely got along with others, Fang Xingguo had always only loved books and ink, and he cared little about the affairs of men and women.

"Qiao Luo, I don't think Cui Hu's poems are suitable for you to read." After Fang Xingguo finished speaking, he continued to bow his head and write, but he didn't know how to face it.

The other side was quiet for a long time, Qiao Luo put the book back in its place, got up and smiled: "The fourth brother is right, Cui Hu's poems are indeed not suitable for me, the time is not early, then I will go back first, and the fourth brother will see you again." Without waiting for Fang Xingguo to reply, Qiao Luo had already pushed the door and left, she had always understood etiquette, and when she rarely lost her temper, she had never seen it leave without even caring about the door like this.

Thinking about it this way, since that day, I haven't seen her for half a month, and the little girl should be hurt by her dignity, and it's good to come back, after all, this kind of thing is still easy to talk about between the girl's family.

"Fourth brother, fourth brother, let me ask you, what are you?" Fang Xuan wondered, why did the fourth brother be stunned on the street.

"Huh? It's okay, let's go, Daddy should have returned. ”

"Okay, let's go."

Santaizi Street, Liu's spice shop.

"Mother, the eldest brother of the Fang family said that I will come back today, but I went to the Fang family just now and waited for a long time and didn't see anyone, I." Qiao Luo has been walking around the shop since breakfast, standing at the door for a while, and fiddling in front of the spice cabinet for a while, and his heart has long been unaware of where to fly.

"Go, go, I knew that you wouldn't be able to sit still when Mr. Xiao came back, give, this is the shortbread I made, Mr. Xiao loved to eat it when he was a child, you bring it."

"Hey, mother, then I'll go first."

"Okay, be careful."

"Got it."

Qiao fell out of Santaizi Street and turned a small road, leading directly to the Wenzhongtang where Fang's house was located, and now the situation is becoming more and more tense, and the whole of Manchukuo has become an extralegal place for the islanders.

This path from the back door of Liu's spice shop left turn right three turns, from the back street of Wenzhongtang, and then walk less than 100 meters to see the gate of Fang's house, this is a long time ago Fang Xingguo drew a map for her, saying that it is not safe to take the road now, and then follow this road to find, although it is farther, but the little girl is always safe and the most important.

Who knows, even this is the safest, and now it has become the least safe.

Qiao Luo only listened to her mother, the Japanese soldiers spoke differently from us, and they were different from Beiping and Nanjing, if they heard it, they had to turn around and run, don't let them find out, Qiao Luo never thought that he would meet those Japanese soldiers who were described by his mother as fierce and vicious and couldn't understand words on this road.

Fang Xuan will never forget this day, Qiao Luo was pressed to the ground by two strong Japanese soldiers, and later, as long as Fang Xuan thought of Qiao Luo, he thought of a piece of snow white Qiao Luo's blood instantly spread to his feet, and he could only watch them flow farther.

Fang Xingguo pressed Fang Xuan's shoulder with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, Fang Xuan felt for the first time that the fourth brother's voice could also make him chill: "Simmer, don't speak, fourth brother beg, don't make a sound, you close your eyes, close your eyes, don't listen, don't look, it's okay, it'll be fine soon." ”

Fang Xuan looked at the boy in front of her in shock, she didn't seem to have known him at this moment, Fang Xuan bit Fang Xingguo's palm, but this hand seemed to be sewn on Fang Xuan's face, and he couldn't take it off, finally, it was quiet over there, and the two Japanese soldiers were holding their pants while hooking each other's shoulders, as if they had just done something terrible, and left with a smile, Fang Xuan looked at Qiao Luo, she never

Knowing that someone could be so desperate, it was as if his eyes were covered by the darkest cloud in the sky, and he could not see any other color.

"Qiao Luo, Qiao Luo, how are you." Fang Xuan pushed Fang Xingguo away, raised his legs and ran towards the red.

Fang Xuan took off the coat on his body, but why couldn't he cover Qiao Luo, his shoulders, arms, and legs, why couldn't he cover it, why was this dress so small.

Qiao Luo was finally shouted back to his senses: "Simmer, you go first, you go first, okay." ”

"Qiao Luo, you get up first, don't lie here, let's go home, it's okay, let's go home."

"Fang Xuan, please, you go first. You don't come here, don't look, don't look. Fang Xuan looked up, Fang Xingguo was standing behind Qiao Luo, and the sound of stepping on the snow creaked, as if he stepped on Qiao Luo's heart again and again, and squeezed out a handful of blood when he stepped on it.

"Simmer, you go first." Fang Xuan looked at Fang Xingguo, she didn't understand why the fourth brother could be so calm. This piece of snow melted very quickly, Qiao Luo's blood, Fang Xuan's tears, it didn't take long for it to become a small pit, the high snow almost buried Qiao Luo, the more Fang Xuan looked at it, the more afraid she became, she kept pulling Qiao Luo: "Let's go home, it's too cold here, Qiao Luo, is it good to go home, I'll let my mother stew pig's trotters for you, and I also brought a lot of books, you must not have read them, a lot of Western books, very interesting." ”

Before Fang Xuan's words fell, Fang Xingguo suddenly shouted: "Fang Xuan, go back, go home immediately." Fang Xingguo rarely called Fang Xuan by name and surname, Fang Xuan sat on the snow, Qiao Luo has not shed a single tear so far, she is afraid, really, too scared.
