[Pretender] Branch Road

As Lin Pingping said, Diane was just too tired.Although there are many bruises on her body from bumps and bumps, there is no problem in itself. A good rest is enough, and she doesn't even need antipyretic injections.Ah Xiang helped Di An change her clothes.The tattered clothes on her body were directly taken out and burned.

Ming Lou, who had changed his clothes and took a shower, was walking past the door of Di An's room with his sleeves tied on. Seeing A Xiang coming out, he asked Di An how he was.

Ah Xiang looked at Di An who had already changed her clothes, and said directly to her eldest brother, "Young Master, go in and have a look yourself, I have to get rid of the clothes first."

Minglou glanced in through the gap of the opened door, and could only see the raised figure on the bed.

"No. I still have things to do, take care of Second Miss." Ming Lou shook his head and said.He didn't dare to go in, he was afraid that if he went in, he would waste a lot of time.

"Hey." Ah Xiang answered and closed the door.

Minglou, who returned to Shanghai, couldn't rest, he still had a lot of things to do.He didn't even have time to eat, so he went to the new government with Mingcheng.In public and private, his actions this time are beneficial to both parties, but the government of the Republic of China needs to be accounted for.

It's just that the more he looked at the glamorous Wang Manchun, the more he thought of Dian who was sleeping at home in plain clothes.Minglou sighed, maybe he was poisoned by Dian.

"Brother, what's the matter with you? You seem to have something on your mind." After the meeting, Wang Manchun walked into Minglou's office and sat beside him.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't been able to sleep well recently and I have a headache." Minglou took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Then you have to pay attention to your body," said Wang Manchun, walked behind him and squeezed his shoulders, "It's comfortable. I heard what the chief said this time, and I appreciate your actions this time. Wang Jingxian is also a high-ranking official." Yes. The Chongqing government has less shoulders, so we are much more relaxed." When Wang Manchun put his hand on Minglou's shoulder, she clearly felt Minglou's stiffness.

"They have more than one arm. Soon there will be other arms." Ming Lou sighed, "This will be a difficult struggle."

"Who made us live in troubled times." Wang Manchun also sighed, "I also just want to live a life where my sons and daughters love each other, and my husband and son teach each other. This is our fate, and no one can change it."

Hearing Wang Manchun's words, Ming Lou suddenly remembered that Di An had said something similar.She just wants the whole family to be together and live a peaceful life.He thought of the big farm that Diane had mentioned so many times.Everyone wants to live in a peaceful and prosperous world, but everything has changed.For Wang Manchun, she was born at an untimely time.For Diane, this is a joke God made with her.Let her live in a stable and peaceful future but throw her into this troubled world.

Thinking of her initial cautious appearance, Minglou suddenly understood her timidity.Born in a peaceful and prosperous age, she doesn't understand the dangers of this troubled world, and the survival that everyone struggles with.Fortunately she met the Ming family, fortunately she met the eldest sister.

****

It was already midnight when Minglou and Mingcheng returned home.But they were surprised to find that the light in the kitchen was still on.It was Diane, who had gone down the fever.It's not that she didn't sleep in the middle of the night, but that it was already midnight when she woke up.It happened that she was very hungry again, so she got up and looked for something to eat.Of course, the eldest sister left a bowl of vegetable porridge in the pot for her.

Di'an reheated the vegetable porridge and sat down at the table. He was just about to start the big brother and they came back.

"Didn't sleep in the middle of the night?" Mingcheng glanced at his watch in surprise, "Or did you just wake up?"

"It's the latter." Diane took a mouthful of porridge without looking up.She hasn't eaten much since this morning, and her physical strength is exhausted.The eldest sister thinks that she should eat something lighter, but now Diane's mouth is full of light taste, and she just wants to eat something strong.She pursed her lips, looking at the bowl of vegetable porridge, she lost her appetite.

"Why, isn't it delicious?"

"It's too bland in my mouth, I want to eat something salty." Dian immediately thought of hot pot, roast duck, and spicy chicken.

"It's about time, and the stalls outside are probably about to close. If you want to eat salty, you probably only have small wontons. I can sprinkle some hot sauce for you."

"Small wontons are also good." Dian's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "I'm going to change." After speaking, Dian really ran out to change.

Mingcheng looked at Di An who was running to change clothes, a little stunned, "Cousin, is she going out? It's so late?"

Minglou looked at her back and stuffed the briefcase into Mingcheng's hand, "I'm going to eat small wontons too."

hiss-

Mingcheng said that he was caught off guard and showed his face.

In the end, the eldest brother went out with Diane, citing that it was not safe at night and that he was hungry, and went to the street where the lights were not very bright to find the small ravioli that might have been closed for sale.

Ming Lou has been walking beside her silently, neither of them spoke.Only the white smoke from the breath rises under the light.

The two didn't speak until they walked to the wonton shop that had closed their stalls.

"It seems that we won't be able to eat small wontons today." Diane sighed.

"I'll buy it for you tomorrow." Minglou smiled and said, "It's too late today, let's go, let's go home."

"kindness."

Ming Lou was walking on Di An's left, and that road was not very well lit.But it was such a road, but Minglou had the idea of ​​wanting to walk for a long, long time.However, at this moment, the cries of some people suddenly came from a distance.Mostly women and children.Di'an was taken aback for a moment, but before he could react, his elder brother firmly held his hand.

"Brother... what is this sound...?"

"I don't know." Minglou pricked up his ears and discerned carefully. His first reaction was the Japanese army.Immediately afterwards, at the turning not far away, two military trucks with headlights on suddenly appeared within sight.The cries came from there.

When the big truck was about to approach, Ming Lou suddenly pulled Di'an into his arms, and pressed her to prevent others from seeing her face.Diane was caught off guard and directly bumped into his chest.Although it's not the first time, I still feel my heart blush.

Sure enough, the big truck stopped in front of them.

"Don't look up." Ming Lou whispered in her ear.

Although it is a concession area here, with the war, it is gradually no longer safe here.Diane didn't know what the eldest brother was talking to the other party. It sounded like he was speaking Japanese, but she couldn't understand.During this period, Diane has been lying in the arms of the elder brother without saying a word.It took a few minutes for the last two trucks to restart.Diane quietly raised her head and glanced at the truck. The back of the truck was full of women and children.What is even more surprising is that almost all of them are foreigners.

"Wanqiu!"

"Ro... Rosa?!" Diane looked at the woman calling her name in shock, it was... Rosa? ! "Why are you here Rosa!"

"I don't know, I was working in the hospital, and suddenly a group of people took me away!" Rosa squeezed to the outermost edge of the truck and shouted at Diane, "I don't even know where we are going!"

"Rosa!" Diane watched Rosa being taken away by the truck, and wanted to catch up anxiously, but was stopped by Minglou. "Brother, Rosa was taken away! What's going on?!"

"Maybe you don't know, this plan has only recently started to be implemented." Minglou frowned as he watched the truck drifting away, "The Japanese built a concentration camp in Shanghai."

Set...set...in the camp? !

The author has something to say:

During the Second World War, the Japanese army established concentration camps after the outbreak of the Pacific War and occupied the Shanghai Concession. The Japanese concentration camps in Shanghai were divided into four categories: Shanghai Overseas Chinese Concentration Camp, Church Staff Concentration Camp, Allied Prisoner of War Concentration Camp, and Chinese Prisoner of War Concentration Camp.

There will be all kinds of familiar friends in the concentration camp
