[Qi Fu] Qi Chu said return

"Buddha, let's have a cup of tea." Zhang Yueshan wore a nightgown at home, and brought a cup of Lapsang Souchong to Zhang Qishan. Buddha's stomach is not good, and Tieguanyin is too upset, so he was excluded by Yueshan long ago It's out of the list of serving the Buddha.

"Why are you up?" Zhang Qishan saw the still pale young man, and finally got up from a pile of documents, regardless of the good Lapsang Souchong, he stretched out his hand to pull the timid child in front of him, "Let you lie down Don't move around, are you alright?"

"It's all over." Yue Shan opened his eyes and said nonsense, taking care of Yue Shan in the past few days, Zhang Qishan has piled up a lot of official papers and has not dealt with them. When he is free today, he simply sticks himself into the study and can't come out. If it wasn't for the housekeeper, haha Go to Yueshan for help, but no one can pull Zhang Qishan out of the study.

"Excellent?" Zhang Qishan pointed out, "You put on the horsewhip and the branding iron together, and you've only been lying down for two and a half days, and you're fine? Do you believe it?!"

"I..." After all, he was still a child, the most unbearable thing for Yue Shan was Zhang Qishan's angry voice, he didn't need Zhang Qishan to get angry, he would be cowardly.

Zhang Qishan looked at the timid child in front of him, but he was extremely patient.Anyone who has been in a place like the interrogation room will not cast some shadows, let alone this delicate child.Zhang Qishan stretched out his hand to pull the child closer, and asked him softly, "Does it still hurt?"

Shaking his head, he nodded again.

In fact, before opening the door and entering the study, this delicate child held many questions in his mind: Why did the Buddha only let himself rest well when he came back from the military camp, and didn't say a word about what happened that day?What happened that day?Who is the inner ghost next to Buddha?Why did Shangfeng come?Was the interrogation that day aimed at him, or at the Buddha?

But when he saw Buddha, the boy didn't know where to ask.

"Father..."

"Ask, if you don't ask, you won't be able to sleep all night." Zhang Qishan saw through it at a glance.

"I..." Let him talk, the child was stunned again, and after holding back for a while, he asked, "Have you found out who betrayed you?"

Now it was Zhang Qishan's turn to be dumbfounded. He was thrown into the interrogation room for two full days, whipped and ironed in turn, and even he didn't give him a good face in the interrogation room. What's going on", not "Why don't you believe me", but, "Who betrayed you".

Zhang Qishan's heart warmed up, and then he felt a sharp pain. He pulled the limp boy and let him sit in his chair. The chair was a little too big for a boy. Zhang Qishan looked at him and sat sideways. On the table, he took another copy from the pile of documents and handed it to him.

The bangs that are combed back by the young man every day, because he has no time to take care of his injuries, hang limply on his forehead. It seems that this is what a young man should look like. He has faded away from the old age, ignorance, and fatigue. , and a little childish, Zhang Qishan couldn't help but want to rub him into his arms for such a young boy.

"Do you understand?" Zhang Qishan stretched out his hand and put it on the young man's shoulder.

The young man's concentration was interrupted, he hastily raised his head to look at Zhang Qishan.

The document is an assessment report card, which reads: Excellent results.

"Stupid boy," Zhang Qishan wanted to laugh seeing the young man's half-understanding look, "You were so smart in the past, why are you so stupid now? You didn't see it at all. From the very beginning, this matter was A game?"

"what?"

"The matter of the city defense map is just a drama. You, me, and Commander Shangfeng are just mere actors." Zhang Qishan took the document back and looked at the words "excellent grades" with a little pride.

"Assessment of what?" It's only natural for a chief to conduct an appraisal of his subordinates, but he must have a reputation.

"The position of my adjutant has been vacant for many years, and Shangfeng wants to assess your loyalty." Zhang Qishan rubbed the boy's hair, "I believe you, but my words are unfounded."

Only then did the young man understand that from the day he received the order to set off from the barracks, everything was a trap, and he fell into this trap without any accident. It's just a game.The young man wanted to laugh, he went to the peak to go to such a great effort just to prove something that didn't need to be proved at all.

"Then I have passed the examination?" Knowing the truth, the young man was not angry, but became concerned about his examination results.

"Excellent grades, Zhang Yueshan, you are already my adjutant."

"what?"

"Ah what? Are you not happy?" Zhang Qishan was delighted, what kind of reaction was this.

"No, no, I can't ask for it, but, so soon?" The young man hurriedly explained, "Don't you have to wait for the appointment from Shangfeng?"

"Stupid child," Zhang Qishan said with a smile in his eyes, "That day in the interrogation room, the officer Shangfeng you saw had two documents in her hand: one was your appointment letter and the other was the execution letter. If you couldn't bear the punishment and tortured you, do you know what you would face?"

"Shoot on the spot?" There is no room for traitors in the army.

"Yes." Zhang Qishan stroked the back of the young man's neck. God knows how scared he was when he looked at the young man hanging from the torture rack that day. He was afraid that the young man would grit his teeth and hurt his body. The torture methods used in the military prison are enough to make people frightened.

What's more, the one who came that day was the officer who could almost ask a question from the mouth of the dead.

"Then, Lord Buddha, when can I go back to the barracks?" The young man raised his head and asked Zhang Qishan.

Zhang Qishan felt terrified when he saw it, it was a little funny, he was worried that this child was heartless, he asked: "Why don't you have any fear at all?"

"What are you afraid of? Executed by shooting? I will not even think about betraying the Buddha." The young man looked at Zhang Qishan with watery eyes. The truth came to light, and he was in a good mood. I won’t confess to the Buddha, if it’s a show, wouldn’t I have passed the test?”

"Stupid child," Zhang Qishan felt distressed, "You have no complaints when you are thrown into the interrogation room and beaten like this?"

"Anyway, what Buddha does is right."

Zhang Qishan was speechless for a moment, the watery young boy in front of him was completely different from the red-eyed young boy who was screaming in a low voice that day on the torture rack.

That day, the soldering iron was placed on the brazier and it was burned red.The officer who came down from the peak sat leisurely behind the brazier, watching the interrogator beat the boy who was only 15 years old, while Zhang Qishan stood aside. At this time, he could not speak.

Shangfeng stood up, she was wearing the same army green cloak as Zhang Qishan, and a pair of black gloves on her hands, no one could see the fiery red Kodan in her gloves.She reached for the tongs and lightly picked up a piece of soldering iron.

"I'll ask you again, do you want to tell me?"

"If you want to add a crime, you can't worry about it."

Shangfeng's voice was light and ethereal, her lips were as red as fire, she was a very beautiful woman, but her hands were extremely black.

"hiss--"

When the soldering iron sticks to the human skin, the pain will become more severe as the skin burns.

The young man bit his lip and endured it, but in the end he couldn't help it. The iron seemed to penetrate his abdomen and burn into his stomach. It hurt, and cold sweat and blood fell down together. The young man couldn't bear it anymore, and roared out :

"what--"

"You say it now, and I'll let you go. Who gave you the city defense map? Was it Zhang Qishan! Tell me!" Shangfeng said, throwing away the soldering iron just now, and replaced it with a red one. .

"Sir!" Zhang Qishan couldn't stand it any longer. If this went on, even if his Xiao Shan didn't die, he would only have half his life left.

"Why? Distressed?" Shangfeng's voice was still slow, like a green willow in light smoke, "Then you speak for him, you come to recruit."

Seeing that Shangfeng turned and began to target Buddha, the young man felt anxious, but when he got angry, his whole body hurt like he wanted to eat him.

"The city defense map is..."

"I stole it." The young man tried his best to interrupt Zhang Qishan's words, gritted his teeth and squeezed out some sentences, "I followed Zhang Qishan just to get the city defense map."

"So many years?" Shangfeng was very interested.

"Zhang Qishan is not easy to get close to." The young man told a lie without blinking his eyes, and he looked like he was being tortured.

"Purpose?"

"It's also Zhang's family, and it's also from the Shan family. Why can he be domineering, and I can only be a top-ranking soldier—with the city defense map, I can buy it at a good price and have no food or clothing." Worry, and stop looking at people's faces, isn't that good?"

Shangfeng looked at him with a half-smile, and then at Zhang Qishan. She raised her gloved hand and waved twice. The interrogator stepped forward and knocked the boy unconscious.

"Sir, this..." Zhang Qishan suppressed his temper. He is a warlord who was recruited into the Kuomintang, and he is used to running rampant. It just so happens that the officer sent by the above is also an arrogant master. His rank is two levels higher than him. Specially dispatched.

Shangfeng threw a document on the table, and while arranging the gloves that were not messed up at all, he said: "The injury is not serious, but fortunately it is all trauma, those who 'play the pipa' and chili water in the military prison, I didn't use it on him, it was to save face for you, the child didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and he had to recuperate for a month and a half before he could reuse it."

Hearing this, Zhang Qishan's anger that he had held back for a long time finally subsided: "Thank you, sir."

"Okay," Shangfeng didn't follow him, "You wish to cut me up so many times in your heart—the child is a good seed, if you don't use it, send it to the military to find me."

Zhang Qishan smiled and thought: How is it possible.

Right now, Zhang Qishan looked at the young boy pushed into his seat by him, with limp hair, a teenage child, with a completely surrendered appearance, which was very distressing.With a strong hand, he pulled the boy into his arms.

I didn't want to hug this wronged child before, but I pulled the child's wound.

"hiss--"

"The hill!"

Zhang Qishan ripped off the young man's nightgown with his hands, and there was a terrible burn on his abdomen, where the medicine was useless.

"It's really..." Zhang Qishan caressed the wound lightly, "The most poisonous..."

The most poisonous thing is a woman's heart.

In the middle of speaking, Zhang Qishan also realized that this should not be said.

"Buddha, is this considered insulting the officer?" The young man teased him.

Zhang Qishan wanted to laugh, and nodded pretendingly: "Forget it."
