Chapter 159 Liang Zhu (9)


    Chen Huihong''s Maybach slowly drove into the underground garage without attracting anyone''s attention.


    all the best.


    Qin Huai put on a hat, scarf and mask again before getting off the car, ensuring that even if Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen stood in front of him, he would not recognize him immediately, and dragged his suitcase in all directions and quickly slipped into the elevator.


    Qin Huai only breathed a sigh of relief until he walked out of the elevator to Luo Jun’s door.


    Zhang Shumei opened the door.


    "Master Xiao Qin, the room has been cleaned for you. Time is limited, and the bed is a temporary air cushion bed. Please see if you are used to it. If you are not used to it, I will find someone to change the bed in my room to the guest room." Zhang Shumei said.


    Luo Jun’s family has no guest rooms. His room only has the master bedroom, the second bedroom, the studio, the audio and video room and the showroom. Luo Jun used the servant room to pile up miscellaneous items. Zhang Shumei, the nanny in the second bedroom.


    Qin Huai took a look and found that Zhang Shumei temporarily tidied up the audio-visual room into a guest room. The room was quite large and could be accommodated, which was larger than his master bedroom.


    "It''s pretty good, no problem." Qin Huai smiled and opened his suitcase, took out the 20 kilograms of crispy cakes and fruit-borne embryos in the suitcase.


    Qin Huai came this time except for Qianbian and Guoer, he brought a set of changing clothes. There was nothing to do if he needed to organize. He took the things and went to the living room.


    Chen Huihong is already eating the fruit plate.


    Luo Jun was also sitting on the sofa watching TV. When he saw Qin Huai coming out, he gave him a look, cleared his throat and said loudly, "Xiao Zhang, the old rules, spider plants."


    5 minutes later, Zhang Shumei happily went out with a big bag.


    Qin Huai went to the kitchen to steam fruits for Luo Jun. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he found that there were a few bowls of ingredients on the stove.


    The raw materials for tangerine peel tea.


    The intention is already very obvious.


    "Mr. Luo, do you want to cook tangerine peel tea?" Qin Huai poked his head out and asked.


    "Otherwise." Luo Jun said sarcastically, "Master Xiao Qin is really busy with everything he wants. He came back from afar just to quickly complete the task, and even a bowl of tangerine peel tea is unwilling to give the mission target more."


    Qinhuai:…


    Which palace drama have you watched recently?


    Anyway, it’s not troublesome to cook tangerine peel tea, it’s all by the way. Qin Huai first put the fruit into a steamer and started to cook tangerine peel tea. He then searched in the cabinet, found the ingredients prepared by Zhang Shumei, and started kneading the dough.


    It’s rare to come back, it’s time to make some delicious snacks for Luo Jun and Chen Huihong, so that they can see the results of their studies in Huangji during this period.


    After learning for a week, the pastry was so rapid.


    Soon, wait until the dough is kneaded and put it on the chopping board to wake up, and the fruits in the steamer can be released.


    It takes some time for the tangerine peel tea, but there is no hurry, the fruit has not been colored yet. Qinhuai made the beetroot juice well and created it randomly, and the time was very accurate.


    While the 4 fruits were colored, the tangerine peel tea in the pot was also successfully released.


    Luo Jun was already sitting at the dining table. Qin Huai served three bowls of tangerine peel tea, took it out with a tray, and sat down to eat something together.


    Chen Huihong, who had been unable to wait, couldn''t wait to pick up the fruit, took a bite, squinted her eyes with satisfaction, and started eating happily.


    Luo Jun was unmoved. He didn''t even look at the fruit on the plate. He calmly picked up the spoon and drank the tangerine peel tea slowly.


    Spoon after spoon. This action and expression were very familiar to Qin Huai, only one newspaper was the way Luo Jun would drink tangerine peel tea in his memory every morning.


    Five or six minutes later, a bowl of tangerine peel tea was finished.


    Chen Huihong''s second fruit was almost chewing on it. She looked a little full, and in the end, the little half was held in her hand for a long time without touching her mouth.


    Luo Jun put down the bowl without taking the fruit, and looked a little hesitant.


    "Oh, don''t hesitate. It''s a knife to stretch your head, and a knife to shrink your head. It''s not a loss to be seen by Xiao Qin. If Xiao Qin made new dim sum after reading it and made you a new dim sum to survive the tribulation, you still made a profit, and you can live for many years!" Chen Huihong advised as a person who has experienced it.


    Luo Jun gave her annoyed look: "Do you think I am you, and I don''t remember anything. Do I care about living for many years? Isn''t it the same way to be reincarnated after death."


    That being said, Luo Jun took a hand, picked up a fruit, put it beside his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and took a small bite.


    Almost the moment Luo Jun started chewing, the game prompt sound rang in Qin Huai''s mind.


    "Ding, congratulations on completing the side mission [The Taste of Memory] and receiving the mission reward [A Memory of Luo Jun]."


    Luo Jun’s last memory has been obtained.


    Qin Huai looked at Luo Jun and asked carefully: "Do you... have anything else to remind you?"


    Qin Huai knew very well that Luo Jun must know what the memory he was about to see was.


    Luo Jun was silent for a long time, and Qin Huai also sat at the dining table and waited for him for a long time, but he had not opened the game panel for a long time.


    Finally, Luo Jun spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "Remember her appearance, don''t forget."


    Qin Huai nodded, clicked on the game panel, and selected [A Memory of Luo Jun].


    Select Yes.


    [Memory is loading—].


    “Boom!”


    Fire, loud noise, disaster.


    When Qinhuai entered his memory, all he saw was devastated.


    It was clearly dark, but the burning fire made the surrounding area very bright. There were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the charred and collapsed houses made creaking and broken sounds from time to time. There was no crying or crying for help. It felt like all living beings were gone in the ruins.


    Qin Huai looked up and saw the plane hovering over and continuously dropping bombs.


    “Boom.”


    In the distance, another bomb was dropped.


    This is not the real and false bombing seen in the movie. It really happened in front of you. The roar was so loud that it could deaf people''s ears.


    This is not a disaster film, this is a real disaster.


    Luo Jun was standing there in the ruins, leaning against the half-declined dangerous wall, and by the firelight, he stood there calmly looking at the newspaper, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, and his expression was leisurely as if he was waiting for Liu Tao to finish watching the movie at the entrance of the cinema.


    Soon, the plane hovered in the sky flew away. Before Luo Jun finished reading the newspaper, he turned around a page and looked up at the sky.


    "Day day by day, I''m so annoying."


    After saying that, Luo Jun patted the ashes on his body and found a place with a bright fire to continue reading the newspaper. After reading one picture, there are one picture. When the fire burns out, the other one will be bright.


    It was difficult for Qinhuai to evaluate this behavior that looked similar to the nature of stealing light from the wall, and he didn''t know what to see. After all, there was nothing around, not even a living person, so I simply joined Luo Jun and read the newspaper with him.


    The two of them read the newspaper together, and they saw dawn.


    Qin Huai even counted boredly. Luo Jun took out a total of 22 newspapers stacked into small tofu pieces from his pocket. It was obvious that he came prepared and came out to read the newspaper on the night of bombing.


    Previously, Luo Jun usually only brought three or four pieces when he went out.


    Luo Jun slowly folded the newspaper he had read into tofu pieces, put it in his pocket, and walked towards the east.


    That is the direction of the sun.


    The sky was just dawn and the light was not strong, but it was enough for Qin Huai to see the scene in the distance. Basically, as long as the bomb falls, only the wreckage after the explosion remains.


    The houses did not collapse completely. Some low houses could only see broken bricks and burnt wood. Some collapsed part of the walls, but the main body was still intact, with particularly good luck or even intact, and only the exterior walls were blackened by the spreading fire.


    Luo Jun walked slowly, Qin Huai followed him and walked a few streets. Qin Huai faintly heard crying from afar.


    People who hid in the air-raid shelter for a night finally came out of the air-raid shelter one after dawn.


    Some people looked at the home that had become ruins, pounced on them in a collapsed manner and cried in the wreckage, searching for property in the ruins crazily, and roared at everyone trying to get close to the ruins like wild dogs protecting food.


    Some people want to take advantage of the situation. When they see lonely women and thin young men holding wooden sticks to threaten the other party with their belongings. Even if their pockets are filled with items that do not belong to him, they still want more greedily.


    But more people call their relatives’ names everywhere. When they see familiar people, they pounce on them and ask if you have seen anyone and if they are with you.


    There was chaos.


    Luo Jun obviously didn''t like such a crowded and chaotic crowd. He kept avoiding people along the way. After walking through slums after slums, Qinhuai saw a small foreign building in the distance.


    I have never seen these foreign buildings in Qinhuai before. It is obvious that Luo Jun has left Shu and has come to a new place.


    The area of ??the foreign building was obviously not directly bombed, but it was slightly affected and the buildings were well preserved, which may be due to the terrain. Qin Huai looked at it a little and felt that this area was indeed not easy to be bombed. There was a reason to become a rich area in such a dangerous period.


    Luo Jun walked towards the innermost 3-story western-style building. Before he could reach the door, Liu Tao, who was full of anxiety, pounced on him. He first looked at Luo Jun''s face, regardless of whether his hands were dirty and black. He touched his cheeks, ears, and chin as if he was afraid that he would read it wrong. He then looked at his neck and arms after confirming that he was not injured.


    Liu Tao''s hands were trembling, and her body was trembling due to fear, and she looked very embarrassed.


    Her hair was loose, her clothes were wrinkled, her hands were dirty, and she ran away one of her shoes. There were large beads of sweat on the forehead, residual tears on the corners of the eyes and cheeks, and the beautiful silk dress was scratched with many tiny holes. If you look closely, you can also see that there are many small wounds on her hands vaguely bleeding, and sand and small stones are stuck in the wound.


    Luo Jun saw Liu Tao''s hand.


    "What''s wrong with your hand?" Luo Jun grabbed his hand and asked.


    Liu Tao did not answer, big tears fell directly from her eyes, her lips trembled and choked, "I thought you were dead."


    "The Liujia Shop where you went to the Liu family shop last night, they said that they were almost blown to the ground by the Japanese, and many people died. Even the air-raid shelter was trampled to death. Before dawn, I wanted to come to find you. Uncle Zhang didn''t let me go out. I went to find you after dawn and he and Li Ping. I never came back. I thought you..."


    Liu Tao couldn''t continue talking at the end, and hugged Luo Jun and burst into tears.


    "We won''t look for it anymore, okay? I won''t look for my parents anymore. If we go back to Shanghai, it really won''t work to go further south. It''s too dangerous here."


    "Chuntao from Secretary Liu''s family didn''t have time to run when he went out to buy vegetables the morning before yesterday. He was blown up and one leg was dragged back home and lying to die. Last night, when I was in the air-raid shelter, I heard that the wife of Minister Cao''s family said that there would only be more and more bombings in the future. The Japanese forced us and supplies. I don''t understand what they said, I only know that Mrs. Cao wanted to leave here and go back to her hometown."


    "She wants to leave, and it will definitely be even more unsafe in the future. Boyan, I know you still have business to negotiate here, but now the air defense alarm is sounded every three or five days. Basically, you are not at home every time the alarm sounds. I heard Mrs. Liu in the air-raid shelter last night that the government killed several employees. Is it not safe there? Otherwise, we still..."


    Luo Jun didn''t say anything, but just held Liu Tao''s hand to comfort her. After Liu Tao''s voice did not tremble, his body trembled uncontrollably, he helped her clean her hair.


    "Go home first and put on your shoes. There are a lot of gravel on the ground. If you step on the ground barefoot, you will cut your feet."


    Liu Tao followed Luo Jun home.


    Compared with the small foreign building I lived in Shu last time, the building where Liu Tao and Luo Jun live is obviously larger and more luxurious, and there are more furniture and ornaments in the house. There was no newspaper in the living room, so I guess they were all put away and put up the building.


    Luo Jun asked Liu Tao to sit on the sofa, got up and took him a pair of shoes, changed into Liu Tao, and found a clean towel to wet it with water, wiped Liu Tao''s face, and then wiped his hands.


    Liu Tao sat blankly throughout the whole process, like a doll, looking dull after being shocked.


    "You don''t have to worry too much about me." Luo Jun sat next to Liu Tao, "I won''t have any trouble."


    The doll''s switch was turned on, and Liu Tao was called back from fear by Luo Jun''s voice. She shivered for a moment, and looked at Luo Jun with wide eyes, as if she was confirming whether what had just happened was his own hallucination or real.


    Liu Tao looked at Luo Jun like this, and tears fell down her face.


    "You are crying again. You never cried before. I remember you told me that when you were a child, you practiced your posture in the opera troupe. The headmaster used a wooden stick to beat you with a wooden stick, and you wouldn''t cry even if the stick broke it." Luo Jun said helplessly.


    "That''s different." Liu Tao whispered, blinking his eyes and shed two more tears, "I don''t want to do it either, but I can''t control myself."


    "Would it be fine for us to go back? Sister Ah Hong sent me a letter last year, saying that the concession is safe now. Although the prices are high and the grain prices are the same every day, you don''t have to pay the rent if you find a house for her. The money she and her men earn are enough to support the family."


    "Where is the headmaster Liu?" Luo Jun asked.


    Liu Tao stopped talking.


    "He... hasn''t heard from the headmaster for a long time." Liu Tao lowered her head, "Since I wrote to me three years ago that the opera troupe was moving south, I have never received a letter from the headmaster again."


    "There are many bandits along the way, some bandits have guns. The headmaster will definitely not take the train to save money, they may..."


    Luo Jun did not give Liu Tao a chance to escape: "It should be dead."


    "I still have business to negotiate now, and I also said that I will help you find your parents."


    "It''s not safe here, is it safe outside?"


    "The concessions in Shanghai are not safe, and they are often bombed outside the concessions. The war is in the north, the Central Plains are in the middle, and even the south is in the mountains and bandits. The city is not safe, the countryside is not safe, and now it is a chaotic time. Where can I find a safe place?"


    Liu Tao looked at Luo Jun blankly.


    "After all, this place is a capital, and this area of ??air raid shelters are specially built. As long as you stay at home like Mrs. Cao and the others every day, no place will be safer than here. Don''t listen to what Mrs. Cao says or see what she does. As long as she doesn''t leave here for a day, this place is safe."


    "Don''t worry about me. Whether I go to discuss business with Minister Cao or find someone, I won''t have any trouble."


    Liu Tao obviously couldn''t understand the meaning of this sentence, and she couldn''t understand it, so she could only stare at Luo Jun in a daze.


    "When I got married, I promised you would help you find your parents."


    “I never go back on my word.”
