Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuli went to the bedroom door with a trace of doubt, pressed it against the door and listened carefully. There was no movement at all. "Bang, bang!" and then knocked gently.

As soon as the bedroom door opened, Mei Xue stood in front of the door. Liu Xinlan lowered her head and sat on the bed. When she saw him coming in, she raised her head and glanced at him. There was indescribable confusion and loss in her eyes, which made Tang Qiuli's heart "

There was a "thump" sound, and he looked at Mei Xue searchingly.

A trace of helplessness flashed in Mei Xue's eyes, and she said softly: "Qiu Li, you accompany Xin Lan to have a chat. The guests are here, I'll go out and say hello!" As he said that, he kept winking, but Tang Qiu Li

Even more confused.

Mei Xue went out, closed the door gently, leaned against the door, raised her fair face, calmed her turbulent emotions, and sighed secretly in her heart. She had already asked Liu Xinlan and found out what was the reason that made Liu Xinlan so confused and lost.

However, Mei Xue was powerless and helpless about this matter. She became the shadow of another woman in the heart of a man she loved deeply. Is it sad or lucky?

If this happened to her, to be honest, Mei Xue didn't know how to deal with it. Therefore, facing Liu Xinlan's pain, Mei Xue couldn't find anything to say to persuade her. All words seemed so feeble.

This is a knot in the heart. Only Liu Xinlan herself needs to untie the bell. Or Tang Qiuli can untie it. It depends on chance. Maybe it can be untied with a word or a look. Maybe it will be untied for a lifetime.

I feel a knot in my heart, I still need someone to tie the bell to untie it.

Suddenly, Mei Xue became suspicious of her husband's decision to take Liu Xinlan back to Dingbian for the New Year. If Xinlan had not returned to Dingbian, something unexpected would not have happened. Hey, who could have expected it?

Mei Xue smoothed her long black hair, straightened her military uniform, put on a quiet smile, and walked to the living room. Her husband was comforting an injured girl. As a wife, she should go out to support the scene. This is the responsibility and the principle of life.

.

Tang Qiuli gently held up Liu Xinlan's pretty face, looked at her autumn-like bright eyes, and her bright eyes were full of confusion, and asked softly: "Tell me, Xinlan, what happened?"

Liu Xinlan seemed to be trying to break away from his warm hand, but seemed reluctant to struggle. She smiled and replied softly: "It's nothing, I'm just not used to seeing so many people at home, and seeing the two old people reminded me of my parents.

I feel a little uncomfortable, but I'll be fine in a while!" After saying that, she lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling constantly, showing her inner uneasiness.

Of course Tang Qiuli didn't believe such a reason. In his understanding, Liu Xinlan was not such a girl. After more than two years of military school life and the baptism of war, Liu Xinlan, who was weak and gentle on the outside, became very strong inside.

She is so strong, typically soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Something must have happened to stimulate her.

He put his arms around Liu Xinlan's round shoulders and held her in his arms, "Xinlan, if you have anything to do, don't keep it in your heart. Tell it and I'll share it with you!" he said.

Liu Xinlan was like a wounded bird, nestled in Tang Qiuli's arms, motionless, and after a long time, she said faintly: "Qiu Li, it's really nothing, I just feel a little bitter in my heart. Don't think too much.

"There are still many guests outside. We can't be rude. Let's go out in a while. Don't let the folks laugh. When you have a woman, you forget about the folks." After saying that, he smiled softly, like a lotus blooming in an instant, with indescribable tenderness.

One can't help but pity him.

Seeing this smile in Tang Qiuli's eyes, it made him feel a sharp pain in his heart. He knew that Liu Xinlan was not telling the truth, so he was about to continue asking questions. There was a sound of greetings coming from the direction of the living room. Another guest came.

I vaguely heard, "I heard that Xiaoqiu is back. Why is there no one there?" Through several doors, I couldn't hear clearly, and I couldn't tell whose voice it was.

After a while, Mei Xue pushed the door open and came in. She took a look at Liu Xinlan, who had a calm face, smiled slightly, and then said to Tang Qiuli: "Qiu Li, the guests are all here and have already started to eat. The next few...

I am clamoring to see you, but my father said to let you go out and offer a toast to the folks!"

Tang Qiuli said: "It should be, let alone a cup, I should hold the pot and serve it!"

After thinking about it, he said to Liu Xinlan: "Xinlan, you are not feeling well, don't force it, just rest in the room, as long as Mei Xue will accompany me to toast!"

Mei Xue nodded, touched by her husband's attentiveness.

But Liu Xinlan shook her head and said: "How can that be done! You are the dignified chairman, don't let others laugh at you. Find a fiancée who is petty and petty. She has never seen the big world and dare not meet people. Why, Sir, do you think you are taking advantage of me?

Aren’t you going to take action?”

Liu Xinlan deliberately adjusted the atmosphere and said jokingly. She felt that it was very rude to make everyone feel uncomfortable because she was alone. In other words, she seemed unruly and arbitrary. The ancients said, "Don't be a person."

, something that everyone is unhappy about!”

Mei Xue did not laugh, but stepped forward, held her shoulder, and said lovingly: "Xinlan, don't force yourself, Qiu Li will understand!" She knew that this girl was suffering, so she couldn't even pretend to smile.

Pass.

To be fair, Mei Xue definitely does not want Liu Xinlan to appear on such an occasion again. The eyes of the villagers have too many meanings. I am afraid that this girl will not be able to bear it if she is stimulated again.

Liu Xinlan said stubbornly: "Sister Xue, I'm fine. I've already shown up. We are all Qiu Li's fellow villagers. If we don't go out, it will be bad for Qiu Li!" After saying that, she took off her military cap and smoothed her black hair.

She straightened her hair, stretched out her military uniform, and smiled sweetly.

The three people pushed open the door of the living room, and a burst of laughter mixed with the strong aroma of wine and vegetables hit their faces. There were more than twenty tables in the huge living room, and the villagers were all changing glasses, drinking in full swing.

The nannies brought bowls of pork stew with sauerkraut, white meat and blood sausage, and exquisite side dishes to the dining table at a reasonable price.

"Xiao Qiu, come here! Uncle Zhang asked you just now!" Tang Qiuli looked up and saw Shan Hu's father, Uncle Huang, greeting him. While agreeing, he asked Mei Xue in a low voice,

"Have you called Shanhu?"

Mei Xue said in a low voice: "You're still trying to fuck me, I've already beaten you, Shan Hu and Ouyang Lan will be here soon!"

"Let's go, Xue, Xinlan, let's toast to Uncle Huang's table first!" Tang Qiuli said to the two of them.

After bypassing the noisy table, Tang Qiuli took Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan to the table in the corner of the living room, "Uncle Huang, Shan Hu and Ouyang Lan will be here soon. Uncle Zhang, aunt, you two are in good health!"

Tang Qiuli greeted her warmly and took a huge wine bottle from Liu Xinlan's hand.

"Ling'er! Are you Ling'er? Where have you been in the past few years? Why did you come back so soon? I miss you so much!" Suddenly, Aunt Zhang's eyes went straight, her lips trembled, and her lips trembled.

He stared at Liu Xinlan, shouted loudly, and as he spoke, he stretched out his thin hands tremblingly, across the table, and tried hard to touch Liu Xinlan's cheek.

The old man's body was shaking like a dead leaf in the cold wind. If there was no table to rely on, he would fall to the ground. Uncle Zhang was not much better. The hand holding the wine glass was shaking violently, and the contents in the glass were shaking violently.

Most of the wine spilled on my hands, but I didn't notice it. My lips were trembling and I couldn't say a word.

The whole house was silent, and all the villagers stopped talking and watched the sudden scene with bated breath. Tang Qiuli's mother, in a corner, murmured, "What a sin, you little devil! What a blessing."

Girl!" Tears welled up in her eyes.

Liu Xinlan's face turned pale and bloodless in an instant. The suspicion in her heart was finally confirmed. These two waning old people were the parents of the most important girl in Qiu Li's mind. She and herself

I looked exactly the same, so her biological parents even mistook me. I was indeed the shadow of another girl!

A string of gold stars jumped around in front of Liu Xinlan's eyes, shaking a few times. Mei Xue hurriedly supported her and shouted in a low voice: "Xinlan! Xinlan! Be strong!"

Tang Qiuli's head exploded with a bang. He completely understood why Liu Xinlan suddenly changed her mood after meeting the villagers. It was all because the villagers regarded him as Xiaoling. Moreover, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang

, also mistakenly thought that his daughter had not left, but came back suddenly, so that he lost his temper on the spot.

It is understandable that the two old people have been unwilling to believe that Sister Ling has passed away, or that they have never seen her alive or dead body. They have always had a trace of fantasy in their hearts. How could they not think that they suddenly saw Liu Xinlan who looked exactly like their daughter?

, my daughter suddenly appeared alive in front of my eyes, causing me to lose control of my emotions.

Since Xiaoling left, the two old men's bodies have deteriorated badly. In addition, their son, in order to retaliate against Tang Qiuli for Wu Ying'er's personal vendetta, defected to the Japanese, willing to be a traitor and lure the wolf into the house.

The entire Tangjia Wopu village was destroyed, and finally, they were hacked to death by the Japanese. Within a year, the two old people lost a son and a daughter. They were left alone and helpless. It seemed that all hope in life had left them.

Uncle Zhang and his aunt, who are only a few years older than his parents, have entered their twilight years ahead of schedule and are getting more and more old. Every time they see him, Tang Qiuli feels sad and depressed for a long time. This is why he does not dare and cannot

One of the reasons why I am willing to go back to Dingbian often is that I am afraid of seeing the helpless look in the old man's eyes, and feel that this is my life's debt and regret.

"Qiu Li!" Only Mei Xue was still calm and pulled Tang Qiuli, who was thinking blankly.

His wife's call made Tang Qiuli wake up. He looked at the pale and overwhelmed Liu Xinlan, and then at the trembling Uncle Zhang and his aunt. Tears couldn't help but fall down his cheeks, and suddenly he shouted in a fierce voice: "Liu Xinlan

, raise your head, you have to face it! Face the two old people who are in a trance who miss their daughter, face it with me!"
