The Pretender's Taoyaoyi Building

on the street.

Ah Cheng bought a newspaper, sat back in the car, closed the car door, and repeated the headline "Today's front page headline, Black Friday." He raised his hand and sent the newspaper to the back seat.

Ming Lou took it, opened it, and the headline of Nanjing News: Black Friday, Thirteen Secret Service Agents Died on the second day of the Lunar New Year, "Arbitrary."

Ah Cheng put on his leather gloves, and sneered, "This news is faster than No. 76's reaction." Xiao Taozi will find opportunities to practice, jealous.

"Let's go." Minglou only said one word.

Ash started the car.

……

Ming family.

Mingtai hurried back home, and immediately went to the road leading to the back garden, a place there was temporarily changed to a place for her to bask in the sun because of the abundance of sunshine.

Tao Yao was sitting on the reclining chair, covered with a thin blanket, closing her eyes and resting her mind.

Mingtai walked up to her side, his tall body covered some of the sunlight: watching her rest with her eyes closed, the sunlight was shining on her body, the long eyelashes could be clearly seen, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her quiet and beautiful; I'm afraid No one would have imagined that the weak woman in front of him would shoot and kill so cleanly, "Why were you where yesterday?" Uncle Li said clearly that it was too late for him to tell his organization.

"What about you? Why are you there?" Still with eyes closed, "You guys did a good job of uniting against the Japanese in Shanghai."

Mingtai pulled a chair casually, and sat down, "Don't worry about it big brother, he and Sister Manchun should not be completely broken."

"Instead of being suspicious, it's better to rest and recuperate." Tao Yao folded her hands on her body, "You still don't know the principle of your elder brother at home. He who knows the current affairs is a brilliant man. I am already his family member and the mother of his child."

"You've always been so confident, don't you ever feel timid?" Mingtai sat taller than her, so he looked down at her.

"The sun is so good, so don't bring up unpleasant memories." Tao Yao likes this kind of emptying of the body and mind without doing anything. , which refreshes the spirit.”

Mingtai couldn't help looking out the window: Ming's garden is still so familiar, the sun seems to have dispelled the bleakness of winter, and he just sat beside her doing nothing, and she lay leisurely; the winter sun also shines On the bodies of the two of them, although the temperature is limited, you can still feel the power of light. "What do you think of Brother Ah Cheng's paintings? If Big Brother really finds such a place in the future, will you go together?"

"Yes, as long as I'm still alive." Tao Yao said lightly, "This is also the life I expect."

"Just like we are now?" Mingtai smiled, raised his head to meet the sunshine, "basking in the sun, chatting without saying a word, don't have to think about anything, you can do nothing, it's really beautiful, and the beauty is a little unreal .”

"The days to come will be like this. Without war, people can enjoy the warm sunshine." Taoyao still closed her eyes, "complaining about the bubble in the stock market, driving the car and taking the children on picnics during holidays, letting go of the pressure of work and enjoying the joy of love to the fullest. Sweet, everyone no longer has fear and confusion on their faces, but only their own trivial happiness and troubles."

"You have painted a beautiful scene." There was no war, Mingtai let out a snort, "I also hope that there will be such a day."

"There must be." Tao Yao opened her eyes, "Because I have seen it."

"In a dream?" Mingtai followed her words and asked back.

Taoyao's eyes collided with his, calmly saying "in the future."

future! ?Does she mean that she is so afraid for this beautiful future?Mingtai shifted his attention away, "I don't know why, but your lack of fear always makes me temporarily return to a normal person and find my true self."

"Like a chameleon who keeps changing to suit the environment, and even loses himself?" Tao Yao laughed at his rookie feeling.

Mingtai looked at the garden and shrugged his shoulders without rebuttal, "Sometimes it's a steel knife, and another moment it's a sharp sword. It changes back and forth, and I almost don't know myself anymore." His tone was brisk.

"Uncle Gang Dao, stay away from my Mingrui, don't spoil him." Tao Yao curled her lips, "Otherwise, I'll tell Eldest Sister."

"You won't sue." Mingtai disagreed, "You are not an ordinary woman who can sue and complain."

"I'm just an ordinary woman." Taoyao raised the thin blanket, "I will be very fragile in the next year, and even have unexpected changes."

"Because of this, you are not ordinary." Ming Tai pointed out, "Taoyao..."

"Your elder brother still has Wang Manchun in his heart, and his youthful feelings are very strong and deep." Taoyao interrupted his words, "Seeing the transformation of the woman I once loved so much is covered in blood, the scars in your elder brother's heart are actually very deep; Mingtai, do you For your sister-in-law, I don't want you to repeat the mistakes of your elder brother. It is a happy event for two people to be happy, but a secret love may be a pantomime with only one person starring in it. "The curvature of the corner of the mouth is still hanging, but the firmness in the eyes cannot be ignored.

"You have a pair of penetrating eyes." Mingtai turned his attention and gaze back, and his firmness was also written in his eyes, "You can always see through me easily."

"Your elder brother can do it too." This is just the experience accumulated in life.

Mingtai stared closely at her eyes, "Why is it my elder brother?"

"There can be many solutions to math problems, but there is always one correct answer." Taoyao didn't evade, as if she intended to make it clear "just like 1+1 must equal 2 on the mathematical level." Minglou is her way The correct answer to the puzzle.

"Many questions seem to be different, but the answers are the same." Mingtai asked calmly, "The eldest brother may also be the correct answer for Wang Manchun, and how can you be sure that there are no others..."

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, this is the best answer our ancestors left for our descendants." Tao Yao was shaking her head, she didn't feel any outrageous hints in her relationship with him.

"Okay, I won't talk about this." Mingtai stopped entangled in this question, and asked the answer he wanted to know more, "You are my elder brother's pillow, I want to know who my elder brother is?"

Tao Yao said softly, "He is your elder brother, who else could he be? Or who do you want him to be?"

"I hope he's Chinese."

"He has not been naturalized in France either. Although many people persuaded him to give up his Chinese nationality when he was in Paris, he has always been proud of being a Chinese." Tao Yao told about the French incident, "So he is a Chinese. "

"Do you still dare to say that to Mingrui now? That elder brother is an indomitable Chinese?" Mingtai got up and took a step closer.

"Your elder brother is just doing what he wants to do." Tao Yao didn't answer directly, "As long as he wants to do it, I will fully support him, because he is my husband!"

"You didn't answer my question!" Mingtai didn't allow her to evade.

Tao Yao curled her lips, "It is not allowed to talk about politics at home, this is the Ming family's rules." This was the answer she gave him.

Mingtai smiled wryly, "You are the same as Brother Ah Cheng." In the conversation at the door of the study room after offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Ah Cheng also gave ambiguous answers, but it doesn't matter, at least he knew that his guess was in the right direction. Walk.

"Mingtai." Tao Yao was still sitting in the sunshine.

Mingtai turned his back to her, "What?"

"For your family, be careful when you go out." Tao Yao closed her eyes again.

"Are you in my family too?" Standing back.

"Of course, I'm your sister-in-law!" She closed her eyes.

-

There is no shade on the tree-lined road in winter, only desolation everywhere.

Wang Manchun was dressed in sportswear, running on the most familiar road, and found a person standing at the end of the road, "Brother? Why are you here?" He stopped and wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck.

"I know you often run here, and you seem to be recovering well." Minglou said gently, "I'm relieved, I heard that you left the Wang's house and went back to your own place. You should be with your family at this time." Yes, let them take good care of you."

"Home?" Wang Manchun laughed at herself, "I don't have a home anymore." She couldn't hide her sadness, "I am the only one left in the so-called family, and I am alone, unlike you, who have a lovely wife and a loving son, and the whole family is reunited."

"Manchun." He took a deep breath, "I know how you feel, the same surname but not the same heart, it seems that there is a home but no home, and you dare not fall asleep in the middle of the night, because you are afraid that you will have nothing when you wake up; but your body It’s not good, it still needs someone to take care of it.”

"I don't need anyone to take care of me..." Wang Manchun argued anxiously

"No one needs to be taken care of." Minglou quickly dismissed her bravado, "Even more so, you are a woman."

Wang Manchun has a bit of sharpness at this moment but also has a real sense of calm, "Are you used to taking care of people now, but I am different from ordinary women, I have lost too much." Family, lover, take a few steps away "I killed people There are too many, I know, and one day I will be killed too."

Behind her, Minglou looked sideways at this familiar person who had long been a stranger. There was no special emotion on his face, but some truth was revealed in his eyes.

The cold wind stirred her black hair.

Minglou stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Manchun, stop earlier."

"Stop?" Wang Manchun's feminine softness faded because of these words, and she turned her head, "My uncle just passed away, and his death was unknown. Everything in the Wang family was taken away in an instant! What happened again on the 76th?" Big things, you tell me to stop now? How can I explain it in public and private?" He asked sharply.

"But the current situation is precarious, and no one knows how long the new government can persist." Minglou's words came from the heart, "I'm worried about you."

Wang Manchun looked at him quietly.

"I'm worried that when you reach the point where you want to quit, you will have nowhere to go." Minglou knew in his heart that he might not be able to persuade her to quit, but he still hoped that she would not take the step he didn't want to see with a little luck. There is no possibility, but I still hope that she will find her way back.

Wang Manchun's face was pale, and her eyebrows were frowned.

……

Arrived at the downstairs of Wang Manchun's residence.

Minglou took off his coat, put it on her body, and helped her to sit on the bench.

Wang Manchun didn't refuse, and sat down with his overcoat on, "After the Wang family had an accident, someone came to see me."

Standing in front of her, Ming Lou lowered his eyes slightly, "I know who it is." Not surprised.

Wang Manchun was a little surprised, "How do you know?"

Minglou showed an expression that wasn't too strange, "Section Chief Nantian has always paid extra attention to the work of No. 76."

"I mean, Section Chief Nan Tian asked me to do something behind your back." Wang Manchun revealed some more truths, trying to test his reaction.

Minglou nodded knowingly, "I know." He moved two steps slightly, "And I know what she asked you to do."

Wang Manchun probed again, "Then what should I do according to my brother?"

Ming Lou stood right in front of her, looked down at her, and did not avoid "do as she says."

"The truth?" Wang Manchun was confused by his reaction.

Ming Lou was very calm, "Speak the truth." Curling the corners of his mouth, he turned around and sat on the empty space on the bench, "But I want to remind you, so what if you do it?" Looking sideways, "Let's not talk about any future developments in the war." No one can predict, even right now you can't really do what you promised by relying on Mr. Nantian. I don't know who your target is, but the Mei Agency is not so easy to fool. Takeda will do everything possible to send her daughter to the Ming family. Do you think he tolerated someone ruining his daughter's life? If you really threatened the interests of the Japanese, Nantian would not help you. The kidnapping of Mingrui fully proved this point; Dou Zhuan can just leave, how about you? What will you get?"

Wang Manchun's eyes straightened, "But what can I do now?" It's hard to get off now.

"Stop!" Minglou repeated the old saying.

Wang Manchun glanced sideways and found that he was still looking at him calmly.

"Stop it, before it's too late." Minglou persuaded again, "Don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, because killing can't solve any problems, it can only make people think you are cowardly and cowardly."

Listening to his advice, Wang Manchun sneered, pushed the coat off his shoulders, and stood up, "You tell me to stop?" He walked away from the bench a few steps, turned around, "You left without saying a word, and left me alone. Staying in Shanghai, now I finally have my own world, and you let me leave again!" Put your hands in your trouser pockets, "It was you who made me into what I am now, and now you are denying me." Angry, "You are here I have a new lover abroad, have a child, and now I am married to her, how can I trust you?"

Minglou really couldn't refute her accusation, "Yes, I admit that our two families have too much hatred and deep resentment, and now I can't give you what you want, so you don't have to believe me, doubt me, or even Investigate me; but I still hope you can listen to this sentence, I really don't want you to be in any danger, this may be the greatest compensation I can give you."

Wang Manchun felt that he couldn't see through him, so he simply asked, "Minglou, what do you want to do? You always look down on me from above, and you can always see through me at a glance. Don't you think it's cruel to tell me this now? Is it?" Marrying another woman, but saying that this is the greatest compensation for her! ? "What do you want to do when you come back? Do you think Ming Jing and Fu Taoyao are safer if you drive me away? You are afraid that I will put all my eggs in one basket and take revenge on them, aren't you?!" She said excitedly Almost helpless.

And Minglou was still as calm as before, just asked softly "Will you?" Then he still looked at her with that calm expression.

This calmness further highlights Wang Manchun's fragility and impulsiveness.

Wang Manchun covered his face all of a sudden, turned around and walked back a good distance to hide his embarrassment.

Minglou sat on the bench without moving for a moment, but the calmness on his face couldn't cover up the pain in his eyes.

The author has something to say: Recently, I fell in love with Eason Chan's 1874, and I think the lyrics in it are very suitable for Minglou and Taoyao. Although it has not been 100 years, they are lucky to have different lives but died together in the same time period.

Tong Zhi, let me sneak attack~(≧▽≦)/~ la la la!
