The heart of the pretender is sincere

In Lingxi's room, as soon as Ah Cheng came in, before he could close the door, he felt the body of the girl in his arms go limp, and she was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and held her up, and Ah Cheng simply hugged Lingxi. Sit on the sofa at the end of the bed.

Lingxi was stuck in her own emotions and couldn't get out. The picture in her memory was too clear. She seemed to have returned to the winter two years ago. It was the smell of blood, which made her retch physically but couldn't vomit anything.

Ah Cheng was a little anxious, he grabbed her by the shoulder, "Lingxi, what's wrong with you, tell me what happened?"

She looked at Ah Cheng, she wanted to tell him what happened, but she found that she could not make a sound after opening and closing her mouth for a long time, tears rushed out of her eyes without warning, she knew that at this moment She shouldn't cry, she knew she should be stronger at this time, but she couldn't help it, the memory that was deliberately suppressed and forgotten in her mind for two years was turned over, like a movie without the pause button, replaying in her mind over and over again It plays back in a loop, and she can't do anything.

"Lingxi, look at me, look at me, don't be afraid or anxious, take a deep breath and relax." Ah Cheng didn't know what happened to Lingxi, they had known each other for so long and only saw Lingxi cry once, it was her and the elder sister The time she was caught by No. 76, but at that time she also cried very subduedly, and her emotions were not as strong as they are now, so did something more terrifying than fatal happen?But seeing that the elder sister and Mingtai seemed to be normal again, he could only hug her tightly, "Lingxi, don't be afraid, I'm here, tell me what happened, okay, tell me."

Lingxi wanted to speak, but she couldn't open her mouth and couldn't make a sound, she could only shake her head vigorously, and desperately grabbed Ah Cheng's hand, the nails had already dug into the flesh.

Ah Cheng felt the pain in his arm, he held Lingxi's head with both hands and forced her to look at him, "Lingxi, calm down and look at me, this is your room, there are only the two of us, it's safe without outsiders You can say whatever you want, you know, this is the Ming Mansion, you are safe, do you know that!"

Lingxi regained consciousness for a moment. Yes, she is safe now. She let go of Ah Cheng's hand and threw herself into his arms, shaking all over. Seeing that his words seemed to have an effect, Ah Cheng hurriedly hugged him. Tightly whispering in her ear over and over again, "I am here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

However, these actions can only be regarded as having a little effect. Ah Cheng felt that the person in his arms was shaking more and more violently, and the tears were getting more and more violent. He felt that this was not good, and he wanted to push Lingxi out of his arms to let him go. She looked at herself, but she hugged her too tightly, but Ah Cheng couldn't continue to let Lingxi go on like this. He tried his best to dig Lingxi out of his arms, but found that she was closing her eyes, as if immersed in In his own world, tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes. He remembered what Lingxi said before, once there was any memory point that made her recall those bad memories in her heart, she would feel as uncomfortable as Ling Chi, Ah Cheng Hold her face and force her to look at him, "Lingxi, open your eyes and look at me, Lingxi, Lingxi..."

Lingxi felt that she had returned to the winter two years ago. There were six of them, four female students from Jinling Women's University, and herself and the 6-year-old girl Xiangxiang. When the war came, they wanted to escape for their lives. I didn't dare to run to the city, so I thought about hiding in the mountains, but Lingxi caught a cold on the first day, and she was groggy and her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't speak. Fortunately, these few The girl never left her and supported her along the way.

On the fourth day of their escape, they met a man named Liu Tianlin who was also running away on the way. Liu Tianlin wanted to hide in the mountains with the same idea as them, and he was familiar with the mountain roads. It is said that his family was in the business of medicinal materials and often went to the deep mountains. Lao Lin knows how to cross mountains from Nanjing to Suzhou.

Liu Tianlin asked many times to leave Lingxi as a burden, but the girls were not happy. In the end, only a few obeyed the majority and led Lingxi to run in the mountains. Lingxi had never walked so much in her life. The road was all supported by perseverance. When she thought she was going to die, they met the guerrillas. There were not many of them, only 6 people, but they had a car, because the girls couldn't walk. Lingxi had a bad cold, so the guerrillas drove them on a risky road, but I don't know if it was luck or other reasons. They didn't encounter any danger at all during the time they walked the road, and it went smoothly. I went to the junction of Nanjing and Suzhou, a small village called Mengjia Village. The villagers were simple and kind. They didn’t dislike them just because they were fleeing. They kindly prepared hot meals and asked them to stay for a night. Going further, after all, Suzhou is only two miles away from their village.

The girls washed up happily that night, and that night was the first hot meal that Lingxi ate on the way to escape, and she even felt that because of this meal, many people were refreshed because of the cold. Quite a few, after fleeing for so long, she could finally rest for one night. She also wanted to wash her face like other girls, but she was so tired that day that she had no strength at all. There was a bed to sleep in even if it was this bed. It's a temporary floor, and it's much better than they crowded in the wild to cover clothes and tree leaves.

Things changed on this night. Everyone was happy that they were about to escape from Nanjing, but they didn’t want the Japanese to come in the middle of the night. The little girl Xiangxiang stuffed her drowsy into the stove. It was even darker in the eyes of the stove, Lingxi didn't know what happened, but she heard the gunshots outside and the screams one after another, one after another until finally there was no sound, she felt her legs were numb, After a long time, she heard Liu Tianhua's voice, saying flattering words to the Japanese in not-so-fluent Japanese, saying that she had run away with a woman, but that woman was dying of illness and shouldn't be bothered.

Lingxi didn't remember how long she stayed in that small stove, but the smell of blood lingered all over her body for a long time. She heard the screams of other people from time to time but dared not come out. She wanted to rescue But she couldn't move her feet. There was a voice in her head that kept telling her Li Lingxi, you coward, you don't have any relatives or friends anymore, what are you afraid of, you go out, you go out quickly, you go If you can't save them, you should die together with them instead of hiding in this dark hole alone, you should die, forget it...

"Lingxi, Lingxi, open your eyes and look at me, Lingxi, I am Ah Cheng..."

That voice is still going on, you are a burden, you should not exist in this world, you are specially designed to bring disasters to people, you are a bastard.

"Lingxi, I'm Ah Cheng, Lingxi..."

You coward, you oil bottle!

"Ling Xi, Ling Xi..."

Coward, coward, Lingxi, Lingxi...

"Ling Xi, Ling Xi!"

Ah Cheng's voice was like a ray of light, splitting the darkness before Lingxi's eyes. She finally opened her eyes and looked at Ah Cheng who was close at hand, as if she was the sun god in golden armor. Her world finally came to an end. There was light again, and Lingxi finally burst into tears, "Brother Ah Cheng..."

Ah Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, it would be great if he could speak, he hugged her into his arms again, and patted her on the back lightly, "It's okay, it's okay, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, Just don't be afraid to cry."

Lingxi seemed to have found an emotional breakthrough, she had never cried so presumptuously before, now it seemed that she finally had something to rely on in her heart, she didn't have to worry about other things, even if she cried aloud, it didn't matter.

From the perspective of the movie, this is an old-fashioned story of being betrayed after fleeing, and the unconventional plot in this story is that this is a premeditated hunt. The escape was just a cover. The Japanese used Liu Tianlin as a bait to lure out the guerrillas hiding in the mountains and find the base camp of the guerrillas. Therefore, they did not encounter any danger when they walked on the road all the way. Following them, and when they arrived at Mengjia Village, Liu Tianlin saw that this group of people was about to flee Nanjing. In order to make meritorious service, he told the Japanese that the villagers of Mengjia Village were guerrillas, so the Japanese massacred the whole village.

"There are only 59 households in Mengjia Village. There are 9 people in the whole village. One of them has a sister who is 60 months pregnant and is about to give birth. The head of Meng Village is also very happy to say that the child who is about to be born will be very lucky in the future. , because I want to be the 71th person in the village, I have already chosen the name. The boy is called Meng Fu, and the girl is called Meng Xing. But when I crawled out of the stove, everyone was dead and lying in a pool of blood Here, the pregnant sister's stomach was cut open, and the formed fetus was held in her arms and lost her breath. I searched all the corpses, but I didn't find a single survivor, none of them. I gave them cardiopulmonary resuscitation , but I pressed it for half an hour to no avail, a total of [-] corpses, besides me, only the traitor Liu Tianlin remained."

Lingxi choked up and talked for a long time before she could finish the story, and her tears couldn't stop falling, "Is it because I shouldn't have come here? I've brought disaster to this originally peaceful village like a broom star. Xiangxiang was only eight years old, a child in the guerrillas was only 13 years old, and the 9-month-old unborn fetus, they were all so small, and they all lost their lives because of me."

Ah Cheng never thought that it would be such a tragic story. He hugged Lingxi back into his arms, "It's not your fault, it's the traitor's fault. Even without you, the traitor is still here. Don't be afraid, Lingxi, you now Calm down and tell me, did you see that Liu Tianlin when you went out today, and that's why it brought back the memory in your mind, didn't it?"

"That's right." Lingxi tried hard to hold back her crying, "Today... I saw him in Taishan Department Store today, even if he is absolutely right, I can know him even in ashes, it's him!"

Acheng held Lingxi's face and his eyes were very firm, "Well, Lingxi, don't be afraid, listen to me now, let's find this traitor, we will find this person and avenge the 71 people who died Okay, don't be afraid, let's find this person."

"But how do I find it? I only know one name, I only know that he has appeared in Taishan Department Store, and there is no clue at all." The tears that had just stopped began to fall again.

"Yes, have you forgotten? You have seen him and you can draw. Then let's draw this person. Don't cry. Think about this person's appearance carefully, and we will draw him." Ah Cheng followed the temptation, Then he took Lingxi to sit in front of the table and helped her take out the paper and pen, "Come on, Lingxi, let's draw this person, as long as we follow the picture, we will definitely find this person."

Lingxi's hand holding the pen trembled a little, she couldn't concentrate now, she looked back at Ah Cheng but found that he was looking at her, Ah Cheng put a kiss on her red and swollen eyelids, "Don't be afraid, I am here, Lingxi, I'm always here, don't be afraid."

Lingxi nodded with tears in her eyes. She took a deep breath and thought about Liu Tianlin's appearance. She has a big head with a pumpkin face, a bit fleshy face, small eyes, and a black mole on the right brow bone. She has a flat nose and big lips. It is also thicker and the tear groove is more obvious.She started to write, and gradually Lingxi calmed down a lot, her hands became more stable, and half an hour later, the figure was drawn.

"That's it, that's it..." Lingxi put down her pen and grasped Ah Cheng's hand, "Yes, that's what he looks like. He's much fatter than he was two years ago, but I still recognize it."

Ah Cheng looked at the portrait carefully, "Lingxi, think about it again, how tall is this person, how old is he, who has spoken to you, what accent is he speaking with, has he introduced the situation of his family?"

"Not tall, about 170, I can't see the weight, but at least 160 or more, the age is about the same as you, Ah Cheng, and the accent is like that of Suzhou. The clothes he wears today don't look like they are poor. People." Lingxi forced herself to think carefully if there were any clues, but when she thought about it deeply, she would think of the scene of corpse marks everywhere and get a severe headache.

Ah Cheng lowered his head and planted a kiss on Lingxi's forehead, "Okay, Lingxi, don't think about it if you can't remember it, now there are many clues."

"There is one more, I remember there is another one." Lingxi searched her temples with the palm of her hand, she had to think about it even if she had a severe headache, "He said that his family is in the business of medicinal materials, yes, medicinal materials!"

The word medicinal materials reminded Ah Cheng of Liu Xihe, who betrayed Boss Hu. He was also from Suzhou and his surname was Liu. Could it be that these two belonged to the same family?He temporarily let go of his doubts and wrote all the points Lingxi said next to the portrait one by one, then folded the portrait and put it in his pocket, "Okay, Lingxi, you have done everything you need to do now, the rest Leave it to me, I will find Liu Tianlin to avenge those people in Mengjia Village and your companions, and I will tell you the result later, don't think about these things now."

Ah Cheng pulled Lingxi to the side of the bed and sat down, then found her pajamas from the cabinet, "Come on, you are very tired today, now change into your pajamas and sleep for a while, I will call you when it is dinner time."

Lingxi frowned and looked at Ah Cheng and shook her head, "I don't want to sleep, every time I close my eyes now I'm full of those pictures."

Ah Cheng gently wiped away the teardrops on her face, then patted her head again, "Don't be afraid if you're fine, I'll stay here with you, I won't go anywhere, just sleep well, sleep well Just get up."

Lingxi was dubious, "Are you really not going anywhere?"

Ah Cheng nodded, "Yes, I will always be with you, I will turn around and go to bed now that you have changed your clothes."

Lingxi hesitated and changed her pajamas, Ah Cheng fed Lingxi another glass of water before letting her lie down, and then moved a chair to sit beside her bed, Lingxi grabbed his hand in the palm of his hand. Ken let go, and once she let go, she felt insecure.

Ah Cheng had no choice but to see that 10 minutes had passed, and Lingxi was still looking at him with his eyes open, even though his eyes were swollen into walnuts, he was still struggling with sleepiness, he bent over and looked at Lingxi again. A kiss fell on his eyelids, "Close your eyes obediently, it's time to sleep, don't worry I won't go anywhere, I will always be here with you, I promise that when you wake up, the first person you see when you open your eyes It must be me."

"really?"

"Well, I promise!"

After receiving the guarantee, Lingxi finally slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep. Ah Cheng sighed deeply, looking at his tightly grasped hands, he must have caught this Liu Tianlin out, otherwise How can I be worthy of those 71 lives, how can I be worthy of Lingxi.

***

Ming Jing has always been thinking about Lingxi, and she hasn't come out since she took Ah Cheng back to the room. Seeing that it was time for dinner, she stayed in the room for nearly three hours, so she decided to go to Lingxi's room to have a look .

She knocked on the door lightly and no one responded, but she found that the door was not closed tightly. She pushed the door straight in and found that Lingxi was already asleep on the bed, and Ah Cheng was sitting in front of Lingxi's bed and was captured by Lingxi. Xi clasped his hands, Ah Cheng hurriedly made a silent gesture when the elder sister came in.

"Sleeping? Do you want to call out to eat?" Ming Jing closed the door and walked to the bed and looked at Lingxi lightly. His eyes were red, and he must have cried for a long time.

Ah Cheng shook his head and replied in a low voice, "Stop eating, my eyes are swollen into walnuts after crying for more than an hour, I have been coaxing me to sleep for a long time, and now I have only slept for half an hour, let her sleep."

"What's the matter?"

"It's a long story, big sister, let's go to big brother's study and talk about it together." Ah Cheng felt that Lingxi had such a big reaction today, this matter must not be avoided by big sister, so he just talked about it together, he lightly Gently withdrew her hand from Lingxi's hand, making sure that she was asleep for a while and would not wake up before leaving the room with the elder sister.

In the study, Ming Lou and Ming Jing heard Ah Cheng tell the whole story, and they were silent for a long time. Ming Lou and Ah Cheng were always behind the enemy lines, so even if they performed missions, they would solve them individually and rarely solve many people at once. They didn’t He had seen what the tragedy of Tucun was like, and Lingxi had only experienced the pain of losing his mother at that time, and he had seen his companions die tragically one by one by the Japanese invaders. He couldn't imagine what it would be like. What kind of despair.

"No wonder, no wonder, Lingxi had a high fever when I brought her back. The doctor said that she might not survive. I spent a lot of effort to pull her back from Lord Yan, but she was cut off within two days after waking up. She said that her world has no light, and she feels that living in this world is meaningless, no wonder, I would also collapse."

Ming Jing's tears couldn't stop falling, "How can there be such a person, these traitors are too hateful, you must catch this traitor, death on the battlefield is a worthy death, but being killed by your own people It is too unjust to be betrayed and killed."

"Don't worry, big sister." Minglou held her sister's hand, "You can't cry now, so calm down, Lingxi needs you to take care of her in this state, and only the three of us know about it, and no one else knows about it." It can be said that the matter of catching the traitor is left to me and Cheng, you can rest assured that we will definitely catch this traitor."

"Okay, I won't cry." Mingjing felt that what Minglou said was right, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, "I'll cook some porridge for preparation, Lingxi didn't eat at night and now she sleeps so early, she will definitely wake up hungry in the middle of the night."

Minglou watched the eldest sister go out before continuing to ask, "Lingxi remembers this Liu Tianlin, so does Liu Tianlin remember Lingxi?" Now he is a little worried about her safety.

Ah Cheng frowned, "Probably not, Lingxi said that at that time it was cold and she had a fever and a severe cold until she lost her voice and couldn't speak at all. As for her appearance, the companions who were with her also thought she was too beautiful and slapped her face on the first day." A lot of mud and plant ashes were applied to cover it up. The eldest sister also said that when Lingxi was brought back, she was as dirty as a mud monkey. She had to wash her several times before she was cleaned. She probably couldn’t recognize her. .”

Minglou's expression was very serious, "It's best if you don't recognize him. This Liu Tianlin is more damned than Liu Xihe. He has 71 lives. It's really cheap for him to pay with only one life. I'll issue a kill order to both sides. Seeing this person will make you feel worse." Just get rid of it and then report it!"

"Yes!"
