Shen Jiu's eyes were hot.
Ajiu's facial features appeared in front of his eyes so clearly.
It's completely different from the memory.
However, she is Ah Jiu, the cleanest and gentle rain that ever fell on the beach that year.
It was the shadow that Shen Jiu had kept in his heart for so many years.
Shen Jiu has many things to ask Ajiu, how is she okay after so many years.
His hands trembled slightly, as if the emotions that had been pressed in his heart in those few years had been vented for the first time.
He never told anyone about Ajiu.
But she is here now, so real, in Shen Jiu's eyes, but it looks like an unreachable dream.
Shen Jiu had thought about the scene of countless reunion, but today, when he really stood in front of Ah Jiu, he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
He even wanted to reach out and touch Ajiu's face.
See how much she has changed.
But Shen Jiu's hand kept hanging on his side, he clenched his fist, and resisted his impulse.
The whitish knuckles and reddish fingers tell of his restraint.
From Ajiu's eyes, Shen Jiu could see that she didn't recognize him now.
Over the years, Shen Jiu has imagined countless reasons why he couldn't find Ah Jiu in Shanghai for so many years.
He thought that Ah Jiu was sick and had an accident, but never thought of...
Ah Jiu couldn't speak anymore.
Shen Jiu tried to calm down and tried to analyze the current situation.
A Jiu will not appear in the Warlord's Mansion for no reason. She seems to have a good relationship with Lu Huai and get along well with Ye Chu.
Then there is only one reason left, Ajiu is Lu Huai's younger sister, he once mentioned it to himself.
When Lu Huai saw Shen Jiu's appearance, he had already judged in his heart.
Shen Jiu has never lost his temper. This is the first time Lu Huai has seen Shen Jiu depressed.
Lu Huai knew that there was a person in Shen Jiu's heart that he couldn't forget. He didn't think of that person.
It was Ah Jiu.
Lu Huai thought about it a little, and then one thing came to mind.
He remembered very clearly that in the past, Shen Jiu ran to the Peace Hotel in order to avoid Qiao Liu's chasing and killing. It was he who saved Shen Jiu.
Shen Jiu came to the Peace Hotel for help. Not long afterwards, something went wrong with Ajiu.
It seems that Shen Jiu met Ajiu before entering the Qing Dynasty.
A Jiu's reaction to Shen Jiu was also beyond Lu Huai's expectation. A Jiu didn't want to meet strangers, but strangely, she didn't even have the slightest resistance to Shen Jiu.
Ah Jiu made a series of sign language to him.
Lu Huai's eyes tightened slightly, he looked at Shen Jiu and explained the meaning.
"She said, where did she seem to have seen you."
Lu Huai didn't want to mention the accident in front of A Jiu, but simply explained it to Shen Jiu.
"She can't remember many things."
When Ajiu heard Lu Huai's words, she smiled apologetically at Shen Jiu.
Shen Jiu was speechless, just nodded.
Lu Huai once mentioned to Shen Jiu that the fire at the Warlord’s Mansion nearly killed his sister.
For treatment, Lu Huai sent her younger sister out of Shanghai. For these years, she has been staying outside in a nursing home.
As far as he knew, Lu Huai's sister had just arrived in Shanghai a few days ago.
But at that time, Lu Huai didn't elaborate, and Shen Jiu didn't ask much. He thinks this is Lu Huai's privacy, so it is inconvenient for him to ask more.
He almost missed the opportunity to meet Ah Jiu again.
If A Jiu is Lu Huai's younger sister, the fire that happened so many years ago and all the things he was sent out of Shanghai for treatment are all A Jiu's personal experience.
Shen Jiu's heart jerked.
These years, she has lived like this.
Shen Jiu's eyes were red, his nose was sour, and he almost shed tears. He restrained his emotions and didn't want Ajiu to see it.
Now, he is just a stranger to Ah Jiu.
If he asked rashly, he would definitely scare Ajiu.
Just now, when Shen Jiu looked at A Jiu, A Jiu also looked at Shen Jiu.
She doesn't like meeting strangers, but Shen Jiu feels familiar to her, so she doesn't reject getting along with Shen Jiu.
A Jiu always felt that she had seen Shen Jiu somewhere, but no matter how she recalled it, she couldn't remember it.
It seemed that there was a missing corner in her memory, and Shen Jiu was there.
Ajiu knew that she had forgotten a lot of things.
However, she really wanted to know if she really recognized him in the past.
Shen Jiu.
Ajiu silently remembered the name in his heart.
Lu Huai wanted to ask Shen Jiu about something, so he asked Ye Chu to take A Jiu back to the room.
Lu Huai lowered his head and said to Ye Chu: "Ajiu is tired, you take her back first."
Ye Chu naturally saw the strangeness of Shen Jiu and knew what Lu Huai thought.
Ye Chu nodded and walked to Ah Jiu's side.
Ajiu stood up obediently when he heard Lu Huai's words. She has been sitting in the living room for a long time, and her body is indeed a little unwell.
A Jiu waved to Lu Huai and said goodbye to him.
At this time, Shen Jiu had recovered his calmness. He raised his head and happened to see A Jiu's movements.
When he met A Jiu again, his thoughts were very confused and his mood was extremely complicated, so he did not notice the scar on A Jiu's hand.
Following Ajiu's movements, her cuffs slid down slightly, revealing a few shallow scars on her wrists.
Ah Jiu stays in the nursing home all year round and rarely goes out. Her arms are almost white and transparent.
Even if the scar is shallow, it is still very conspicuous.
It seems that this was also caused by the fire.
A trace of pain flashed through Shen Jiu's eyes, and his gaze fell on Ah Jiu for a moment.
After saying goodbye to Lu Huai, Ajiu was ready to go back.
She passed by Shen Jiu, nodded at him, and smiled again.
Shen Jiu's mood was very complicated. He barely pulled out a smile, which was extremely stiff.
However, Shen Jiu still couldn't help turning around and looking at A Jiu's back.
When Ah Jiu was about to go up the stairs, he stopped, and looked back at Shen Jiu, her face still with a trace of puzzlement.
Afterwards, Ajiu followed Ye Chu and left without turning his head again.
When Ajiu left, Shen Jiu immediately asked Lu Huai: "What happened to Ajiu?"
Lu Huai was stunned for a few seconds. He had never mentioned A Jiu's name to Shen Jiu, but Shen Jiu knew it.
However, this was already within Lu Huai's expectation.
Lu Huai: "I mentioned to you before that there was a big fire in the Warlord's Mansion, and Ah Jiu was injured at that time."
Shen Jiu asked: "That Ajiu's face and her..."
Shen Jiu suddenly stopped, extremely restrained.
Shen Jiu didn't elaborate, but Lu Huai understood what he meant.
"Her face was also injured. We sent her abroad for medical treatment."
Lu Huai paused and continued: "Her vocal cords were not damaged, but Ajiu was unable to speak because of psychological reasons."
Shen Jiu lost strength in an instant, and fell onto the chair aside.
Shen Jiu slowly opened his mouth: "I told you a long time ago that there is someone in my heart."
His voice is not heavy, the truth is within reach.
"That person is Ajiu."
Shen Jiu began to recall those pasts, and the past rushed over like a tide.
"Ajiu has a good heart. She took the initiative to help me when I was down."
"It was Ajiu who asked me to go to the Peace Hotel to find you. At that time, I didn't know Ajiu was your sister."
"But then, when I went to find her, she had disappeared."
"..."
Just like Lu Huai's guess, Shen Jiu indeed met Ajiu before entering the Qinghui.
Lu Huai was silent for a while before he said: "Ajiu happened at that time. We will soon send her to a foreign country for treatment."
Lu Huai: "Ajiu has forgotten a lot of things, she may not remember you."
Shen Jiu nodded, he naturally knows Ajiu's situation, and now he won't bother her.
If Ajiu can think of it, it's naturally good.
However, even if Ah Jiu could no longer remember him, Shen Jiu had to meet her again.
Shen Jiu hesitated for a moment before asking Lu Huai. His voice is cautious.
"Can I come and see her occasionally?"
Ah Jiu is not in good health now, she will still stay in the Warlord's Mansion.
Shen Jiu wanted to see Ajiu, and he had to get Lu Huai's approval.
Lu Huai did not speak for a long time, and Shen Jiu thought that Lu Huai would reject it out loud.
Unexpectedly, Lu Huai nodded and agreed to Shen Jiu's request.
Shen Jiu left in silence, saying nothing.
After Shen Jiu left, Lu Huai was still sitting in the living room.
After a while, Lu Huai whispered: "Ajiu, Shen Jiu."
The two names are really similar.
Lu Huai may understand why Shen Jiu changed his name back then.
…
The sky has just fallen by fine snow, the air is bitter, and the temperature is terribly low.
After disguising and disguising themselves, Ye Chu and Lu Huai came to the train station.
Earlier, Ye Chu told Su Lan that he wanted to go to Peking with Yan Manman. The school has just been off, and studies are so tight that there is no time to rest.
Su Lan responded in one go.
They walked to the platform, where many people had already arrived, and the passengers looked hurried with their luggage.
Ye Chu and Lu Huai stood there and waited quietly, their ears were small human voices. It was so noisy all around, but they were extremely quiet.
The two bought tickets at nine o'clock in the morning, and the train will depart from Shanghai to Hanyang.
They stood side by side, no one spoke, but they were not embarrassed, just like the most common couple.
Ye Chu's eyes fell on the railroad tracks ahead, and she remembered the old things in a daze.
The two rails run side by side, and although they extend forward together, they never intersect.
The train is like a heavy destiny, and the rails are the tracks of destiny.
As if they were once, walking along the track.
But there was an unexpected intersection because of coincidence.
…
At this time, Ye Chu was a little quiet, Lu Huai seemed to be aware of it, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu was still immersed in his thoughts and didn't notice it.
Lu Huai knew that Ye Chu still had something hidden in his heart. But if Ye Chu didn't say it, he wouldn't ask.
At this time, the long whistle sounded and fell into the air. The train slowly stopped by the platform and the door opened.
Everyone picked up their luggage and got into the car one after another.
The platform became empty, the noise of the clamor gradually lowered, and it was extremely quiet all around.
Ye Chu's chaotic mood gradually calmed down, and she and Lu Huai got on the train together.
The train started slowly and drove forward.
The air in the car was a bit sultry, and there were already quite a few people in it, and the sound was a bit noisy.
When Lu Huai got on the train, the passengers in the carriage were busy, his eyes swept over inadvertently.
Some people leaned back on their chairs and closed their eyes to rest their minds, some were looking at them with newspapers, and some were talking loudly.
The people on the train were of all shapes and colors, and Lu Huai's gaze fell faintly on a few of them, and then he quickly looked away.
These people are Lu Huai's subordinates, and they also put on a disguise, looking very common.
This time I went to Hanyang to investigate Mo Qinghan's true identity. The journey is far away, there will be many variables, and I don’t know what will happen on the road.
Moreover, this time Ye Chu also came to Hanyang with him, and Lu Huai wanted to ensure Ye Chu's safety.
Lu Huai let these subordinates hide in the dark, without his own instructions, do not expose their figures, otherwise it will be easy to get rid of the snake.
When you see suspicious people, pay more attention.
These people will not take action if it is not a last resort.
Lu Huai was walking in front, Ye Chu followed behind him, and her gaze suddenly stopped somewhere.
Although there is a group of people dressed very ordinary, but their complexion is a bit fierce, they don't look kind.
They kept looking around and said something from time to time, as if they were looking for someone, acting sneaky.
Ye Chu quickly retracted her gaze, her brows faintly frowned.
These people do not look like ordinary passengers, but rather people on the rivers and lakes, not knowing what they are going to do.
Ye Chu knew that others might not be able to detect anything, but Lu Huai was extremely vigilant, and he must have found something strange.
Thinking about it, Ye Chu walked forward, and then stopped in front of a sleeping box.
Pushing open the door, clear air poured up.
Ye Chu and Lu Huai have booked two sleeper boxes, and the one she currently has is her own box.
They walked in with their feet raised and closed the door.
The sunlight fell into the carriage, and the decoration inside was extremely westernized and exquisite everywhere. A bed, a small table, not much space, but very comfortable.
Lu Huai and Ye Chu sat at the small table, silent all around, only the two of them.
They had a great understanding and spoke at the same time.
"That group of people was weird just now."
The two of them didn't change their faces, as if they had become accustomed to the matter.
Lu Huai's voice was low: "Ye Chu, I will let people stare at them."
Ye Chu's heart loosened: "Yeah."
This time I went to Hanyang to investigate Mo Qinghan's whereabouts, and they didn't want to make any mistakes.
Although this train has undergone preliminary investigations, there is no suspicious person.
The group of people just now looked fierce and should be seeking revenge in private.
For some reason, Ye Chu had an intuition that he was destined to not be peaceful tonight.
The train drove extremely fast, and the scenery passed by the window, gradually becoming distant.
The carriage was very warm, and through a window, you could see the snow falling silently outside.
A layer of white vapor covered the window, and the line of sight was a little indistinct.
Lu Huai saw Ye Chu's look a little tired, and said: "Ye Chu, the journey is far away, you go take a rest."
There is still a long way to go to Hanyang, and Lu Huai doesn't want Ye Chu to be too tired.
Ye Chu nodded: "Okay."
This car is Ye Chu's room, and Lu Huai's room is next door to Ye Chu.
Lu Huai didn't say much, and quickly got up and left.
Ye Chu drew the curtains to block the light, and the carriage darkened.
She closed her eyes, it was pitch black before her eyes, and she gradually fell asleep.
The journey is a bit long, the sky is getting darker, and the train roars into the deep night.
…
I don't know how long it took, Ye Chu opened his eyes.
Ye Chu looked out the window, the night was deep, and the mountains in the distance were hidden in the dark night. Under the cold moonlight, everything seemed silent.
Ye Chu stood up, walked to Lu Huai's room, and knocked on the door.
"Lu Huai, it's me."
Lu Huai's low voice came from the carriage: "Come in."
Ye Chu opened the door and saw Lu Huai sitting there. The light was dim, but Lu Huai's eyebrows became colder and clearer.
Lu Huai raised his eyes to look at Ye Chu: "You are here."
Ye Chu sat down and glanced at the table, where there were some materials.
These materials are all related to Hanyang Prison. She picked it up, ready to look through it.
Lu Huai said lightly, "Ye Chu, I'll go to the dining car."
"Do I need to bring something?"
Ye Chu smiled: "It's fine to be the same as you."
Lu Huai stood up, opened the door, and walked out of the carriage.
After a while, Lu Huai brought their dinner back.
Black coffee and sandwiches.
Lu Huai put the plate in front of Ye Chu's eyes.
Ye Chu looked up, Lu Huai smiled faintly.
"This is yours, the same as mine."
The dinner was very peaceful.
Both Lu Huai and Ye Chu knew that Mo Qinghan was extremely cunning. If he had really been in Hanyang Prison, then this trip to Hanyang would surely encounter some dangerous things.
However, the two were not nervous.
As long as they are together, any difficulty can be solved.
…
At the other end, some noises came from the silent carriage.
The night was deep, the light in the aisle dimmed, the passengers were a little sleepy, and there was a lot of silence around.
At this time, there were waves of footsteps on the quiet walkway, and the sound of footsteps was very anxious, breaking the silence.
Several men came to the front, their faces fierce, passing by car after car to look at the faces of the passengers.
As they watched, they said, "Where did that man go? Damn, he moves so fast!"
"Since he got on this train, don't even want to escape!"
"Look for it in the carriage again, I don't believe he is not here."
The lights on the train are dim, and everyone's faces are extremely ugly. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will not be in a good mood.
At this end, Ye Chu and Lu Huai had a good meal, and Ye Chu stood up and was about to leave.
Suddenly there was a heavy knock on the door outside the carriage, and the man's fierce voice rang.
"Open the door!"
"We are looking for someone, if we don't open the door, we'll break in!"
Lu Huai and Ye Chu looked at each other.
Sure enough, something happened.
Lu Huai's face instantly sank, and his breath became extremely cold.
Ye Chu frowned: "It's the daytime group."
I don't know who they are looking for, the movement is so big.
Lu Huai didn't want to open the door, but the knocking on the door became louder and louder without stopping. If you don't open the door, the group of people outside doesn't seem to stop.
Lu Huai didn't want to expose his and Ye Chu's whereabouts, so they had always acted extremely low-key.
After all, if something happens on the train, the goal will be obvious and it will easily attract the attention of others.
Lu Huai told the secret guards to let them stare at the group of people at the door. At the same time, he also warned them not to shoot at will.
Therefore, the dark guard is still hiding in the dark, awaiting Lu Huai's instructions.
Lu Huai looked around the carriage and had an idea in his mind.
He looked at Ye Chu: "Ye Chu, you lie down on the bed."
Lu Huai will deal with this matter.
Ye Chu was very obedient, she lay down on the bed.
Lu Huai walked to her side and covered her with a quilt. His hand touched her long hair inadvertently, he thought a little, and stretched out his hand.
With a snap, the light went out.
The lights disappeared, and the surroundings plunged into darkness.
Lu Huai gently pulled, and Ye Chu's hair instantly spread out and draped it on the bed. He lifted her long hair and gently covered her face.
In the dark night, her long hair was jet-black, and her small face was very white.
"Don't be afraid, I am here."
Lu Huai got up and left and opened the door of the car. The knock on the door stopped immediately, and he looked over. There were a few fierce men standing there.
Those people glanced at Lu Huai and scanned his face, and found nothing unusual.
Immediately afterwards, they saw that there was a person lying on the bed, and then leaned their heads to look inside.
At this time, a soft female voice sounded on the bed.
Bewildered, as if he had just woke up.
Ye Chu said, "My husband, what's the matter?"
Her cold voice turned soft, as if she was acting like a baby, like a wife who relied on her husband.
Lu Huai smiled suddenly.
