We went out quietly.

The city of Baoding was full of despair, everyone laughed and ate and drank, and everyone reminded me of one word - drunk life and dream death.

The family is in a row of dilapidated bungalows in the east of the county.

It was extremely cold in the northern Hebei Plain in January, and the houses didn't even have windows.

There are people everywhere, dozens of people live in one room, and you can still squeeze in when you stand during the day, what about sleeping at night?

I finally saw the leftover brothers and sisters.

They're still like that, but they've all grown up.

The dog is still square-faced, big-mouthed, and squatting on the ground in a daze.

His sister Zhao Xingyue is still weak and beautiful, but the corners of her eyes are also wrinkled.

Several of their younger siblings were in a daze in the corner of the door in front of the door.

I shouted "Dog leftovers".

When they saw me, they immediately ran to hug me, just like they had three years ago.

Many people next to us looked at us, and Mu Ran had no expression.

Maybe they're not in the mood, maybe they've seen too much, maybe they're hungry.

The dog took me into the house.

They lived in that house with another family, and there were more than 20 people living in a 10-square-meter room.

Gou Yu'er said: "Hey, I saved a lot of money, but I was robbed." ”

It's all at this time, and I still have to lift my body!

The dog's father was lying on the bed, his face was pale and skinny.

Strangely, he was actually wearing a green - "military uniform".

Strange "military uniforms" - not the imperial army uniforms of the imperial court, nor the government military uniforms of the Central Plains and Hebei.

The uniform was a thick green cloth uniform, washed white.

I seem to have seen the white, tattered military uniforms, and I don't seem to have seen them.

Zhao Dakuo held the hand of the dog's leftover father with one hand, and held a child less than a year old with the other.

When he saw me, he was surprised and said, "Brother Niu? ”

Daddy Dog's eyes suddenly opened, apparently he had heard the word.

He turned his head to me with great strength and trembling.

Then he turned around again.

I knelt on his quilt – he was lying directly on the broken quilt on the ground – and said to him, "Uncle! ”

Dog's leftover father – or to use his great name Zao Wou-Ki – continued to turn his head, and he looked at me with a look of disbelief in his eyes: "You ......"

He reached out and touched my face: "Are you real?" ”

I touched his withered hand and said, "It's me!" I'm a big cow! I came from Chang'an to see you! ”

Him: "Chang'an? ”

Seems to be thinking about something.

He looked at the dogs and them: "Am I going to die?" ”

Zhao Dakuo said: "Dad! You're always talking about big bulls, he's coming! What a providence! ”

Zao Wou-Ki continued to touch my face: "Da Niu, are you really here?" ”

I held his skeletal-like hand: "I came from Chang'an!" ”

-

-

Suddenly, Zao Wou-Ki spat out a mouthful of blood.

He couldn't move anymore, but now he struggled desperately.

He said, "I'll look at your one - the pendant!" The pendant I gave you. ”

Me: "What pendant?" Didn't you give me three books? ”

Him: "The pendant! Your mother's token to your father......"

Me: "What do you mean?" ”

Zhao Xingyue on the side: "It's the white pendant I gave you!" ”

Me: "Oh, put the Chang'an Palace." ”

Zao Wou-Ki: "You didn't lose it!" ”

Me: "No, I've been hiding." ”

Him: "That's what your mother gave to your father." ”

Me: "Oh, it's kind of romantic. ”

Zao Wou-Ki coughed violently, intermittently but anxiously, and said, "Your father is in Shandong, and that is your mother's hometown." Shandong Qicheng! Your mother is also there, she is still alive! ”

My head was banging.

The world is full of roar and starlight.

I can't hear the sound, I can't see the scenery, as if the world was just starting.

-

-

Zao Wou-ki's face turned pale and he fainted suddenly.

Zhao Dakuo hurriedly pressed his people.

The children were lying on his bedside.

I stood in the middle of the room, as if the whole room could not fit my head.

What's the situation?

Why is my mother still alive? Still in Shandong?

-

-

Aunt Zhao said to me, "Hey! Your mother is from Shandong. She ran away when you were a kid. We don't dare to say that she ran away, because the child's father is the chief security officer and is responsible! Let's just say she's dead. ”

Me: "Why don't I remember anything?" ”

She: "You had a serious illness when you were a child...... Burned confused......"

Me: "I guess...... My dad isn't from Zhaojiazhuang either, right? ”

Her: "Hmm. I am from Lijiazhuang next door, and I always came to Zhaojiazhuang to play when I was a child, but I have never seen your father and your house. The child's father said that you were his relatives, and I didn't believe it at the time......"

Zao Wou-Ki fell into a deep sleep.

The dog next to him—he has grown up, so I'll call him by his big name Zhao Qiankun in the future—looks very sad.

The dog ignores - she has given birth to children, so I will call her big name Zhao Xingyue in the future - is also very sad.

Zhao Dakuo comforted the two of them.

I hugged them.

Zhao Qiankun had tears in his eyes

And Zhao Xingyue was already crying.

I looked at Zhao Xingyue, her eyes were red, and her eyes were all on her son.

But when I wasn't looking at her, I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye, but she was looking at me again.

I can't stay any longer, and tears are about to fall.

I said to Zhao Qiankun: "I have a mission, but I can't say it. The paper gold dollars are useless, and I don't have them with me. Now it's in chaos, it's useless, give you this thing to defend yourself. ”

I unfastened a pistol from my waist and pulled four magazines out of my coat pocket.

I said to Zhao Qiankun, "You have this gun." There are a total of fifty rounds of ammunition, and there are not many bullets, so save some money. Like this, you can shoot by moving the safety bolt away. ”

They continued to cry.

I said, "Don't cry, the hard days are almost over." The Imperial Army will be finished soon, and you will be fine! ”

Everyone looked at me in amazement.

I turned and walked away.
