I'm scared when I think about it now, but at that time, I really didn't suspect that he was "swooping" and rushing down in his pajamas. As for why it must be assumed that the person is the second brother, it is probably because the vague black figure is tall and thin, just like Zhilan Yushu.

I carried my ankle-length nightgown and hurriedly rushed out, hesitantly asking, "Second brother, is that you?" ”

The figure in the darkness did not move or make any sound, dressed in all black, like a statue in the night.

Panic came up from the bottom of my heart, and my hand holding the doorknob involuntarily increased its strength, so that even the knuckles of my fingers were flushed with a white.

I heard myself ask in a voice that was both expectant and frightened, "Who the hell are you?" If you don't speak, I'll call someone. "In order to give myself courage, I even grabbed the broom that was leaning on the side and made a strong appearance.

The man was not at all deterred by my momentum, and coughed in a low voice: "If I really want to break in, can I stop it with the broom in your hand?" That playful and provocative tone, I can't find a second one by my side.

I also pressed my throat and asked him, "Gu Zuoyan?" ”

Gu Zuoyan finally poked his face out of the darkness, the dust on his face and the bloodshot red in his eyes startled me: "Open the door quickly, I have something to say to you." ”

He didn't look in a good mood, and the expression on his face was extremely serious, and the rhetorical question just now was more like a kind of thinking inertia, rather than that he still had the leisure to raise the bar with me.

I pushed the door open and let him in, and used his flashlight to shine vigilantly back and forth for a long time until I made sure there was no more danger in the darkness.

Gu Zuoyan held the ginger tea sent by Shui Qing with both hands, still shivering constantly because of the cold. He watched Shui Qing close the door and walk out, before he spoke: "Who is she, is it worth believing?" ”

The rhythm of becoming the protagonist in one second made me a little unable to react, and I was stunned: "Ah, she was sent to our house since she was a child, and she can be regarded as a sister to me, of course you can believe it." ”

Gu Zuoyan turned the chair in front of the desk in a different direction and sat down as if he was very tired: "There is a big incident in Nanjing, have you heard of it?" ”

His words pulled me back from the mess of thoughts, and I jerked my head up, but unexpectedly twisted my neck, and it hurt: "Well, I heard it on the radio just now." I hesitated for two seconds, then asked him tentatively in an expectant tone, "But things shouldn't be as bad as the news says, right?" The Japanese really don't even want an international reputation, and do such a thing as slaughtering the city?! ”

Gu Zuoyan stared at me, his eyes were like sharp knives that tore apart all my expectations little by little: "You still have hope for the Japanese, right?" I can tell you responsibly that they are no longer human, they are war machines through and through. The lives of the Chinese are not worth much, and even the lives of the Japanese are not worth much. As long as they can win the war, any effort is worth it. ”

I muttered, "That...... Those people were killed? So many people...... So many people didn't survive a single one? I covered my mouth, and my whole body trembled involuntarily, and there was a mixture of fear and resentment, and for a moment I suddenly had a terrible thought, longing to die with the Japanese.

Gu Zuoyan's words became even more cruel: "Yes, not only that, but they also regard living people as targets, and use them to practice knives and guns, so that recruits can hone their courage." They also cut off the heads of their dead compatriots as trophies, and compared them with each other in a hunting mood to see who was better. ”

Gu Zuoyan frowned, as if the whole person was in a painful mood: "Of course, there are so many people in Nanjing City, if they kill them one by one, how much time and guns will be wasted?" They came up with a good way to get the people together and bury them alive and shoot them alive, and now the city is full of mass graves, and the bones of these poor people are entangled when they die, and they will never be able to identify them. ”

I looked at him anxiously: "If you have anything to say, I am willing to help you, and I will also contribute to these things that the Japanese do." ”

Gu Zuoyan looked at me for a few seconds, and suddenly said: "The Japanese have done so many hurtful things, we must retaliate with a tooth for a tooth and make them pay!" ”

I smiled coldly: "So it's going to take revenge?" Assassinate? Poisoning? Do you want to make it vigorous and known to the whole world, or do it unknowingly so that people can't suspect you? ”

Gu Zuoyan didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in my tone, but he was still very serious: "Since it is revenge, we must make them feel afraid, and we must also let them understand that the Chinese will not be frightened, so let them do whatever they want on Chinese soil." Therefore, we must make as much trouble as this matter can be, and our main goal is to gain more sympathy and support. But—" He suddenly turned his head to meet my eyes: "Don't worry, we won't let you take risks, there are other people doing this, and you just need to cooperate with us to get the news out as much as possible." ”

Gu Zuoyan probably didn't even realize it, his tone, expression and even body posture became more and more like a standard underground party. If a few years ago, he had spoken to everyone in the same way he is now, then the interrogation room of the military commander would have been open to him. It's just that today is different from the past, and national hatred and family hatred have made people with different opinions finally unite to defend against foreign enemies

It's just that for some reason, Gu Zuoyan's state made me feel scared for no reason, and the feeling of distrust was like a chill in winter climbing up my neck. As his position in the underground became more and more important, he became more and more confusing. I don't know which of his words came from the bottom of his heart, and which ones were meant to achieve his own ends.

I looked at him scrutinically, and also instinctively filtered out the overtures he threw at me: "Well, have you forgotten our agreement, I said that if you can find out about my brother, I will risk my life!" So...... You don't have to explain that much to me, just tell me what to do, and I'll do whatever it takes. ”

Gu Zuoyan's voice raised a few points: "Zhu Huiran, please don't work with emotions, your state makes me very worried." ”

My voice also raised involuntarily: "You can see how much I've helped you during this time, but you always say that I cause you trouble, but I don't see it." I, Zhu Huiran, are my words, and since I promised you, I will definitely do it. But I hate pretense the most, and you don't have to act like you're forced to do it all the time. ”
