I want to be a good person

A big warm hand covered my mouth.

The screams stopped abruptly.

The ferocity and brutality of the Japanese invaders left a trauma on her who witnessed it with her own eyes.

"Stop shouting, it's me!"

A towel gently wiped the blood off her face.

It is easy to lose track of time if you close your eyes, so the woman bravely opened her eyes and found that the man in front of her looked familiar.

Zhang Aiguo removed the makeup on his face and smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"Don't you remember me? Lianzhong Village, Qinghe County."

Memories that had been buried for a long time were turned up from a small corner.

The woman hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Are you Mr. Zhang?"

"Haha, yes, it's me."

"Wow"

The woman burst into tears, like a drowning person grasping at a straw.

Zhang Aiguo quietly moved his feet, took two steps back, and gently extended his hand to avoid the opponent's pounce.

"Take a deep breath, don't rush."

The whispered comfort and the quietly withdrawn body, the sense of distance, and the obvious sense of alienation. After all, no one owes anyone anything.

Today is different from the past. The status of both parties has changed, and they are only slightly better than strangers.

"Please sit down first. I just arrived today as well."

The woman's heaving shoulders showed that she was not at peace.

From choking and gasping to speaking steadily, it only took a moment, just like the changeable face of a child.

Every woman is a movie queen!

"You're married."

"Ok!"

"Why did you come to Nanjing?"

"As soon as the Japanese arrived in Zhuozhou, we all moved to Nanjing."

"Well, where's Mr. Wang?"

"I don't know. I searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone."

Zhang Aiguo said nothing, but silently lit a cigarette, thinking that things were not going well.

"Don't go out alone in the future. The world is too chaotic now. Let your husband come out more often."

The words of comfort had just fallen and had not yet reached the ground.

The woman's face immediately turned from gloomy to drizzling, and tears of grievance flowed out.

Zhang Aiguo didn't say anything and dealt with the cigarette in his hand seriously. That was Daqianmen.

"Calm yourself down first, I'll bury them."

After Zhang Aiguo finished speaking, he picked up the two corpses, opened the door and went straight into the yard.

He took a shovel and started digging the hole.

The ground is wet; it rained a few days ago.

The two bodies with their limbs separated were thrown into the pit. After they were covered with soil and stepped on, the ground was slightly bulged.

After another rain, the soil will naturally sink and become solid.

"Why do I feel like you're not afraid?"

Zhang Aiguo sat on the sofa, crossing his legs.

"My family is also a soldier, a major battalion commander."

"Then you can introduce us to each other when you have time."

Wang Jinxiu raised her eyebrows slightly and said bitterly.

"He died while defending Nanjing."

"Condolences!"

"It's okay. I've moved on. Life must go on after all."

"Yeah, that's right. People who have studied in foreign schools are different."

"What about the child?"

"I was just about to."

"Oh."

Silence, still silence. Zhang Aiguo felt he had nothing to say.

"I'll go boil some water and make a cup of tea. You sit for a while."

Looking at Zhang Aiguo standing up, his tone was full of politeness.

Wang Jinxiu was a smart person. She knew that she had no friendship with the other party, and the only thing that comforted her was her father's goodwill gesture back then.

"Here, have a glass of water."

The girl turned into a woman. Her skin was still fair, but a little plumper. Her eyes were no longer lively. Everything had changed.

Wang Jinxiu mustered up her courage and kept cheering herself up. How could a weak woman survive in such troubled times?

There will be no reward without pain.

"Mr. Zhang, where are you going?"

"Me? Just walk around."

God, the conversation was boring and no one took the initiative to continue.

Why not ask you back?

Zhang Aiguo knew clearly in his heart that his previous choices would have no future, so there would be no future.

He still has the desire to be the first to taste the soup. Qiu Hongmei is a different kind of stimulation, but it will not last long. He will not allow any spiritual betrayal.

Zhao Xinyu also had some scheming thoughts, and her starting point was just to survive, otherwise she would be wiped out and sold to a brothel.

Now it seems that Wang Jinxiu has reached a crossroads of choice.

"Why don't you go find your brother?"

"My brother? He stayed in Qingdao and became an official in the autonomous government. My father was so angry that he called him a traitor and wanted to kick him out of the family tree."

"Brother, I don't know where he went. I lost contact with him after he organized the war."

This big family has been disbanded. In troubled times, anything unexpected can happen.

Zhang Aiguo felt a little sympathetic. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Why don't you go to Qingdao? After all, she is his biological sister."

"No, my father wrote a letter, disowning him and kicking him out."

"this…"

"By the way, after we arrived in Nanjing, we tried to find out where you were going, but we couldn't find out."

"Thank you for your concern, old man. I wish we could meet again!"

"Before the battle of Nanjing, my father wrote you a short letter, which I have kept close to me."

There is no need to think about the content. When people get old, they look at the long term and are willing to plan for their after life. An old person in the family is like a treasure.

"I'll give it to you."

Faced with such enthusiastic and earnest gazes, Zhang Aiguo took a step back in his heart.

"give it to me."

The envelope was sealed with wax, and on the letterhead was written: "From my dear brother Xiao Zhang,

There are only a few words in the letter, just one line. It means one thing: I hope that because of our past friendship, I can have the opportunity to take care of my children.

I slowly folded the letter and looked out the window. Although no one took care of the flowers in the yard, they were still in full bloom under the nourishment of the rain, and the fragrance was overwhelming.

I was in a dilemma and gave countless instructions and warnings at home. Moreover, a mother's status depends on her son, and a harmonious family will prosper.

The current situation is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away. Where to put them?

"bang"

Following a few thunders, the bean-sized raindrops of early summer crackled and smashed the blooming flower cores, without any regard for its beauty.

The flowers bowed their heads, letting the rain and wind blow them.

It was reversed, there was no emotion between the two sides, all choices were made rationally, and only animal instincts remained.

"Hey!"

He lay limp, like a boneless snake.

Zhang Aiguo turned over, venting his pent-up negative energy and resentment, his movements were somewhat rough.

The raindrops outside the window formed a curtain of water, and the flowers were ruthlessly destroyed, weak and powerless.

The sudden rain stopped, the sun came out, and the flowers bloomed again with a hundred times more energy, so gorgeous and beautiful!

"Come with me first. It's not advisable to stay here for long."

In return for saving someone’s life, she gave her body to him. In fact, neither party owed the other anything. They were both smart people and knew each other.

"By the way, do you have any other luggage?"

"Yes, in the girls' high school."

"what?"

"A few pieces of clothing and some French currency."

"Leave it there first, and pick it up when you have the chance."

"Okay, it's up to you."

There is no warmth between the two sides. Can it be considered as just taking what they want?

Where there is a cause, there is an effect. The occurrence of things is never accidental. It is all the accumulation of necessity. We are in the situation and don’t realize it.

Zhang Aiguo and Wang Jinxiu had just settled in when a shrill alarm sounded. The disappearance of two Japanese soldiers caused panic in the headquarters.

"Stay in the room and don't go out yet. That traitor knows you."

"What about you?"

“I like it cold.”

There were military notes, legal tender, and some dollars, and a few sets of clothes in the suitcase.

"rickshaw!"
