Wei Qingfeng patted his sister's head, feeling a bit amused and helpless. Who was he to need someone to use a honey trap on him? This was too much of a compliment to him.
Wei Ci pinched her waist and glared, "You are my brother!"
Wei Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, and then what?
"My brother is a dashing, handsome, and well-known figure. He has money and connections. Why can't they bother with him?"
Wei Qingfeng was praised by his sister, and he tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were almost level with his temples, so as not to make himself look so worthless. But, he was praised by his sister!
? ??? ?Happy!
"Brother, how's the situation on the mountain? Has my eldest brother returned?"
When Wei Qingfeng mentioned everything on the mountain, his flying eyebrows immediately drooped, and he suddenly felt that even the food in front of him was not delicious anymore.
"Grandpa Erzhu might build a cenotaph for his wife and children in a few days..."
They didn't expect to find information about other missing tribesmen there. The stacks of experimental records were heavy blood debts, and Grandpa Erzhu was completely crushed.
Back then, Xiao Rizi chose the mountains as his experimental site and captured many people from the villages at the foot of the mountain. At first, he only captured children, but later he started to capture anyone he liked.
Grandpa Erzhu's daughter was pretty, but she was abducted by those beasts.
The noise made by Erzhu's wife looking for her daughter was too loud, so those people simply arrested the whole family, young and old, except for Wei Erzhu who was fighting outside at the time.
Daughters, daughters-in-law, and daughters-in-law were insulted and killed tragically; sons and grandsons were used as experimental subjects and tortured to death. Even now, it is impossible to tell which one is theirs.
Wei Erzhu touched the well-preserved old clothes in his hands, tears streaming down his face. The wrinkles on his face became deeper and his eyes became cloudy.
"I thought that if I went out to fight and drive away the Japanese, I could protect you..." His voice was hoarse and choked, and his hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold anything.
He didn't expect that not long after he went out to fight, the village was raided. None of his daughters, wives, and sons escaped and were all killed. How scared they must have been at that time.
He returned in glory, but his family was deserted, leaving him alone to live out half his life.
He wanted revenge, but he couldn't find anyone to take revenge on. His life had already surrendered, and they had been driven back to their hometown. What about him? What about his family members who had died unjustly?
"Erzhu..." The great-uncle stood with his hands behind his back, looking at his old friend with a worried look. He knew him too well and knew how hard it was for him to accept the situation. Before he heard the news, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, wondering if his wife had taken the children to seek refuge somewhere else. Now that he knew everything, he was afraid...
"Old buddy, the first half of my life was glorious, I was a hero in the flames of war, and the second half of my life I only have one thought: to find a wife and children, and let them live with me in peace and contentment, but..."
Wei Erzhu finally couldn't say any more and burst into tears, holding his clothes.
When he went to the war, his daughter, who was only thirteen at the time, stayed up all night to bake him a bag full of pancakes for him to eat on the road. His wife stayed up all night to make clothes for him, and his son sharpened his knife. They never thought at that time that they would never see each other again after this separation.
The great-uncle sighed, and his usually upright body suddenly hunched over for no reason.
The atmosphere in the village was depressed for half a month. Even going to work every day was listless. After Wei Erzhu built a cenotaph for his wife and children, he looked older and older day by day.
The old man who used to like hiding wine everywhere and competed with Wei Qingfeng in drinking secretly every day never touched alcohol again. Every day he either sat on the grave in a daze or hid in the house and refused to come out.
Wei Qingfeng was worried about him, afraid that something might happen to him, so he and his brothers Wei Qiang and Wei Kai took turns to take care of him every day. Wei Ci even cooked delicious food for him in various ways, hoping that he could cheer up.
In a blink of an eye, time passed quickly and summer arrived. Even the wind was hot, and the rice and corn in the fields were wilted and lifeless due to the sun.
Wei Ci was surprised to see Gu Zhan again. She subconsciously looked behind him and was disappointed when she didn't see the familiar tall figure.
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows and moved aside, revealing the man with a cane behind him.
"Hmm, looks familiar..." But I just can't remember where I've seen him before.
The middle-aged man smiled warmly, "Hello, Comrade Wei, do you remember me?"
Wei Ci looked at Gu Zhan, and his eyes gave him a hint: Who is this person?
Seeing that she was confused, the man laughed out loud, "You are my savior! If it weren't for you, I might have died a long time ago."
Wei Ci suddenly understood, clapped her hands, and smiled faintly, with dimples blooming on her face.
"Oh~ I remember now, you can actually walk?" Seeing how miserable he looked with injuries all over his body, she thought he would have to stay in bed for several months or half a year.
"Yes, thanks to you, I recovered quickly."
Wei Ci's eyes flashed, and she quickly made way for them to come in.
"You guys come in and sit down first, I'll go find my second brother." After saying that, he wanted to slip away, but Gu Zhan held his head and brought him back.
"No need. I met Qiangzi when I parked the car. I asked him to go find Qingfeng. It's not right for the host to be away when guests come to visit."
As soon as he saw the little liar's eyes rolling around, Gu Zhan knew that she was hiding something and was feeling guilty.
Wei Ci smiled foolishly, "Don't I have you here?"
"Stop trying to fool me." Wei Ci was dissatisfied when his forehead was tapped. If he was not allowed to say that, he should stop smiling from the corners of his mouth to his ears.
The middle-aged man looked around the yard and became more and more satisfied. It was worthy of being the home of his savior. It was clean and tidy, and his house was not like other people's houses with chicken shit all over the yard.
The road in the middle was paved with pebbles, and the vegetable fields on both sides were lush and green. The most eye-catching thing was the grape trellis, which was full of bunches of grapes the size of a fingernail. Under the trellis was a stone table and four stone benches, with unfinished food on them. It was obvious that they came at the wrong time.
"Sorry to disturb you while you're eating." The man felt a little embarrassed.
Wei porcelain
She smiled awkwardly. Actually, they had already eaten, but her second brother didn't let her wash the dishes, saying that he would wash them when he came back. Who knew that someone would come to the house?
Gu Zhan put his fist to his lips, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and moved his dark green eyes away from the little girl. He walked forward and quickly cleared the dishes, and returned to the kitchen as if he knew the way. After a while, he heard the sound of clinking and clanging from inside.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised. He pointed at the small room that Gu Zhan had entered and spoke haltingly: "He...you...you know each other?"
Otherwise, how could he be so familiar with the layout of the rooms in other people's homes and come and go freely?
Although he was not familiar with this officer, he had been under his protection and had been getting along with him all the way. He also understood that he was a serious and calm person who kept others at a distance. It was the first time in more than ten days that he saw him so down-to-earth, which was a bit strange.
