Beacon 1937

November [-], [-], evening

Ivan washed off the blood on his cheeks and neck and put on a set of clean clothes. When he walked out of his bedroom, he saw Koji Ito sitting on the sofa in the living room on the second floor, drinking the Ceylon left by Frank. black tea.Seeing that no one was taking care of him, the Japanese officer simply made himself a cup, which was not polite.

Adjutant Tanaka directed his subordinates to clean up the scene downstairs and repair the broken door, so Koji Ito was the only one upstairs.Ai Wen frowned, ignored the leisurely Japanese, and went straight to the kitchen to heat a glass of milk.

Li Ran felt distraught after witnessing the scene just now, so Ai Wen decided to give him a piece of Valium and drink a cup of hot milk to calm his mind.

Koji Ito smiled at him when he passed the living room again, but was ignored by Ivan again.

He knocked on the door of Li Ran's room and pushed in. The Chinese boy sat on the bed and curled up with his head buried between his knees, as if indifferent to the movement in the room.

"Li Ran, take this medicine. You need to sleep well." Ai Wen said softly while sitting on the edge of the bed, but he really didn't know how to comfort others.Often at this time, he would always think of Chen Yuchen, and would like to learn and sell Lieutenant Chen's inspiring skills, but Dr. Abel would only give the boy a sleeping pill.

"Ewen..." His face was very ugly, whether it was because of fear or the tragic death of his compatriots, it was unbearable for him.

"Ewen, during the three months you were on the front line, what you saw...is that all?"

"..." He didn't know how to answer for a moment, he hesitated before saying, "Li Ran, what the field medical personnel have to face is far beyond what you imagined. If you feel that you can't bear it, you can choose to give up. "

"...No, Aiwen. I didn't think about giving up, it's just... just that there are all kinds of emotions clamoring in my body, and I don't know what to do with them." Li Ran stared at the door, as if this could be done. Seeing the situation outside, "Have they left yet?"

"Yes, but I will drive them away after you fall asleep." He handed the milk and sleeping pills to Li Ran and then said, "When you wake up tomorrow, you may know where you should go next .”

Li Ran nodded slightly, swallowed the pill, drank the whole glass of milk in one go, and lay down.At the moment when the stability took effect, it seemed that everything was gradually returning to peace, and those emotions that were about to erupt like volcanoes slowly calmed down like being soaked in a clear spring.

Aiwen waited until the boy fell asleep before leaving the room. This time he walked directly in front of Koji Ito.

"Mr. Da Zuo, it's getting late, I think you should go back and rest?"

The Japanese officer smiled when he heard the words, not only didn't mean to get up and say goodbye, but also gestured to Ivan to ask him to sit down.

"Don't worry about the doctor, I still want to talk to you."

Ai Wen's heart trembled suddenly. Just now, this Japanese killed a civilian without blinking an eye, and now he wants to talk to him calmly?

"Doctor?" Koji Ito asked in confusion as if he couldn't understand Ivan's expression.

"..." Ivan, who stood still, suppressed certain emotions, because he remembered Frank's warning, he didn't want his life to be disturbed too much, so he had to hold back... He wanted to go to Nanjing, he It was promised that Chen Yuchen would go to Nanjing.

"Mr. Dazuo, I thought you were a busy person with official duties, but I didn't expect you would have time to chat with me." He said while sitting on the sofa opposite Koji Ito.

"There are indeed a lot of things waiting for me to deal with, but I have applied for a two-day vacation. A combination of work and rest can get twice the result with half the effort, am I right, doctor? Although I have lived in Shanghai since I was a child, your Chinese is not as good as mine. Inferior." Koji Ito raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes still made Ivan nervous.

"You... have lived here since you were a child?" Ivan was shocked.

"Yes, I am very familiar with this place, and of course I became a garrison officer in Shanghai, so I should stay here for a long time."

Ai Wen felt that his plan to go to Nanjing might be later than expected. If other people stayed to serve as the garrison, he was sure that he would be forgotten by the Japanese soon, but the officer in front of him was already keeping his eyes on him.
