Chapter 140: Parting Again
I was emotional, and I couldn't help but be indignant when I thought about my father's situation. But the attitude of the eldest brother is calm and light, as if everything is just ordinary. It was at this moment that I suddenly had an epiphany. The eldest brother didn't say it, I'm afraid he already knew what they were doing. These days, I am afraid that everyone has long forgotten the struggle between parties and fire.
In fact, if the Japanese had not forcibly intervened in the situation, the warlords would have continued to divide the situation, and the struggle between the parties would have intensified. As soon as the Japanese came, everyone's attention was drawn to the direction of defending against foreign enemies, and everyone shared the same hatred of the enemy, but it was also peaceful. But Chongqing, the capital of China, is a completely different look. As always, singing and dancing are leveling, and as always, they are deceitful. Except for the occasional Japanese fighter jet flying overhead, it's almost a peaceful and prosperous place. Yitai recognized the inferior root nature and inevitably surfaced, and he couldn't wait to live and die in the palm-sized territory.
My eldest brother finally left me a beautiful gold-plated and crystal-encrusted compact: "This thing is a popular item that I spent a few gold bars in Chongqing to get on the black market, you should keep it well, don't lose it." If someone asks you for it, give it to him. It's a secret between the two of us, can you promise me? ”
He was very obscure, but I knew that the intricately carved gadget in his hand was his backhand. If something goes wrong, this thing might save his life. I looked at him and nodded solemnly, "Okay." No one comes to me, this compact will always be just a compact, and I will always treasure it. If that person does come to me in the end, I swear I won't let a third person know. ”
After listening to my promise, my eldest brother finally showed a relaxed look on his face. He casually draped the tweed coat on the coat rack, put on a heavy scarf and hat, and opened the door and stepped into the snowstorm. The door opened and closed, and in an instant, a cold wind swept in me, swishing at me like a small arrow. I couldn't help but tighten the morning coat on my body, and the strongest thought in my heart was: This winter is really long, and I can't get over it.
I saw that my home was almost as quiet as an empty city, and my heart was even tighter for no reason. I went upstairs to pack my bags, in fact, I didn't buy much after the war, and I lost most of it in the last hurry to move, and now all that is left is a few daily cheongsams and sweaters, as well as a tweed coat that I put on my body at that time, and everything else should have been burned clean by a fire.
I folded the few pieces of clothing one by one and put them in my suitcase, but I never thought that a letter would fall out of it. I looked around alertly, closed the curtains and bedroom door before picking up the letters that had fallen on the floor. I was secretly frightened in my heart, I don't know when I had been suspicious of the people around me, it seemed that every time something happened, the enemy was always one step ahead of us, and it seemed that one of us spread the news......
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, just like the man who lost his knife in the fable, thinking that everyone was worthy of suspicion and that everyone was hiding secrets. I shook my head and tried to sweep the suspicion back of my head, and looked down at the contents of the letter. This is a frontal portrait of the person in the painting, wearing a military uniform, and the costume is naturally recognizable to me, it is the clothing of Japanese school officials. But the face in the photo is so familiar and so unfamiliar, the resolute eyes are more like the eldest brother, but the high-spirited youthfulness is more like the second brother. There is no text description on the back, only one line of date: 1941/7/31.
I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, and my heartbeat missed a beat. This time coincides with the time of the second brother's disappearance, but I don't know what the eldest brother was doing at the same time. Is this a photo taken for undercover Japanese military camp or a real military photo? Everything is an unsolved puzzle.
In a short period of time, everything around me was reversed, and I was surrounded by countless secrets, making me almost feel suffocated. What puzzles me even more is the origin of this photo, it is said that this move was extremely hidden, and neighbors and friends did not know about it, and even the most well-informed Japanese agent did not respond before and after, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was seamless. But this photo makes the apparent peace into nothing. Either someone sneaked in while I wasn't prepared, or there was a ghost in the house. I walked to the window and gently lifted the curtains, and the window that I had locked was now open, and the cold wind poured into the room. The window of the black hole was like a monster's huge mouth, as if it was going to swallow me up at any moment.
Since there is no evidence that anyone has ever been here, all the focus is on the photograph itself. Is this person in the photo the eldest brother or the second brother? If it's the second brother, then this explains where he went after he left. If it is the eldest brother, then everything he says about Chongqing is a lie. But whoever it is, and why did they take pictures in the costumes of the Japanese military officers? Why did the photo end up in my hands again?
And I am also deeply aware that the appearance of this photo is nothing more than two purposes, either to warn me to warn everyone around me; Either it was a demonstration that made me more aware of my insignificance. I just felt that a huge conspiracy had been covered like a net of heaven and earth, and I was caught up in it, unable to struggle and with no way out.
The next morning, I hurried out with a pair of dark circles that dragged down to my chin, and as soon as I reached the door, I didn't even have a clear look at the situation outside, and was stuffed into the car by a strong man in black. My whole body was shrouded in fear, and my muscles couldn't help but tense. The last time I was kidnapped, I naturally remembered the scene. Even if Cao Yu'an sacrificed his life to save me, I would die a lifetime. Now that Cao Yu'an himself is lacking in skills, my fate is even more conceivable.
Who knew that the strong man who looked at the five big and three rough and vicious looked at me comforted me: "Miss Zhu, don't be afraid. I don't look like a good person, but people who know me like me very much. If you don't see anything else, you can call me Dahu, and if you need help in the future, just let me know. ”
Seeing his pomp and circumstance, I already knew it in my heart, but I still asked tremblingly, "So you were sent by Mr. Cao to pick me up?" Where are we going? ”
Da Hu saw that my face was full of nervousness, so he smiled and said, "Miss Zhu, you will know when you arrive, Mr. Cao is waiting for you." It's good that he didn't laugh, and the fat and scars on his face were all propped up, making him look more and more hideous and terrifying. But I have a sense of intimacy with him that I don't have, and dealing with such a straightforward and simple person does not require every nerve to become a tight string.
