Memories of the Night 25

  Gao Jiancheng stared at the unopened red cloth package from morning to afternoon, from day to night, sitting there motionless.

  The security guard came over to urge him to rest several times, but he always said just sleep, never moving an inch. The meal was heated from noon to afternoon, and then from afternoon to evening, becoming a midnight snack, still laid out there, not a single bite taken.

  "Commander, go take a bath and sleep." The guard held a basin of foot-washing water and came to urge him again.

  "Put it there for now and go to sleep later." Gao Jiancheng didn't even lift his head.

  "Director Lian, this..." The guard wanted to say something, but seeing Gao Jiancheng's tightly furrowed brow, he didn't.

  "Go get Zhao Guozhu and Gouwa." Old Gao finally spoke up, the guard was delighted and saluted, just about to turn around to find them, but saw the moon outside and came back to say.

  "Commander Lian, it's already the second half of the night......"

  "Oh, it's so late?" Gao Jiancheng moved his almost stiff neck, "Then forget it, don't call anymore. Go get some wine and dishes, I want to drink."

  "Yes." At least he spoke up and knew he was hungry, so there wasn't a problem.

  The guard brought over a jug of wine and two plates of snacks for Gao Jiancheng and placed them on the table.

  "You go to sleep. I have nothing else." Old Gao waved his hand and let the guard out.

  Gao Jiancheng poured himself a glass of wine, stroking the red cloth package as if it were his own treasure. He gulped down the liquor, feeling the burning sensation in his heart, and all he wanted to do was cry.

  Open the red cloth package, a Xuan paper, and two wooden carved, very good-looking toys.

  The washi paper unfolded, with two large characters "Hero" written on it, signed - Takashi Jun'ichirō.

  Heroes are partial to national borders, even if they are opponents, they are figures who can make people stand in awe, Zhao Junzi and Sutu Ming are just such people.

  These two small knives are exactly the same, with a crimson five-pointed star on the handle and a line of small characters. One is engraved with Zhao Junzi, and the other is engraved with Si Tu Shan Ying.

  You're back, you've finally come home. Just these few words made Gao Jiancheng's mouth twitch for a long, long time.

  "You've finally come back, I miss you so much. Today the three brothers are reunited, come on, let my younger brother keep you company for a few cups." Ga Jiancheng muttered to himself as he placed two wine glasses on either side of the table and filled them with wine.

  "You two, when we first left, I pulled you both to run together, but instead you two knocked me unconscious and ran back. Are you still considered brothers? Let your brother find you for so many years."

  "That year I came back, and overnight, I moved Xiaomei and the two children to a very secluded village, afraid of the enemy's revenge. For over a decade, I haven't gone back to see them, only relying on others to pass on some things. You tell me, these two heartless ones, how much suffering have they endured as widows and orphans all these years?"

  Gao Jiancheng lowered his head and took a big swig of wine.

  "But anyway, the two kids are quite sensible and have been helping Xiaomei with farm work. Neither of them knows who their father is, and we haven't told them either. Dawei is okay, at least he has a mother to rely on, but Guo Jun...". Gao Jiancheng sighed as he spoke, "Now that you're back, I'll find an opportunity to tell them, it's not good to drag this on indefinitely."

  "You've been away for so long, there are some things you don't know? Liu Lao Da has already become the team leader, and ** have all become captains of the special task force under the direct command of the division. Oh, right, your two families' children have all grown up and are now under my command, hehe, back in the day you guys bullied me so much, now I'm going to take it all out on your sons..."

  Gao Jiancheng sipped his wine, chattering non-stop to the two wine cups about the changes over the years. Outside, the moon hung high in the sky, casting a warm and slightly desolate glow.

  "Dogwa, have you fallen asleep?" Zhao Guotang opened his eyes and stared at the darkness in front of him.

  "No, what's wrong?" Dog Wa turned over and looked at Zhao Guotang beside him under the moonlight.

  "Did Aunt Mei tell you who my dad is?"

  "No, I don't even know who my father is now." Dogwa's tone was a bit low.

  "Yes, I've asked all the old men in the village, and they only know that we moved here with Aunt Mei, but they don't know when." Zhao Guoding's tone was also slightly subdued.

  "What the tall guy said to Lian Zhang today made me feel very strange, and also the way Lian Zhang looked at us that day was particularly weird."

  "What's weird? I don't think so," said Dogwa.

  "It's hard to say, it just feels weird." Zhao Guotang still couldn't figure it out. "Aunt Mei never mentioned this matter either, now I don't even know why my surname is Zhao."

  Zhao Guoding had had enough. Since he was a child, he would play with his little friends, but they would mock him for being an orphan and a wild kid. Sometimes, this even led to fights with the other kids. Gradually, he became more and more estranged from his peers.

  Sometimes she would run to Aunt Mei and ask who her father was, and every time Aunt Mei's answer was the same: your dad has gone on a long trip, he'll come back to pick you up when you grow up.

  One time, Zhao Guo Dun was again teased by his friends for being a wild child who fights, but he ended up getting beaten because the other side had more people. Little Guo Dun ran to Aunt Mei in tears and asked, "Who is my dad? Do I really have parents?"

  "You have a father and mother, don't cry, child." Aunt Mei looked at Little Guo Dong wiping away tears, "When you grow up, they will come back to pick you up."

  "I don't want them, I have no parents, I don't want them to come and get me." Zhao Guo shouted at Mei aunt while crying.

  "Slap" Aunt Mei stretched out her hand and slapped Zhao Guocong's face. "Don't you dare abandon them."

  Zhao Guotong hugged Mei Shu in his arms and cried there, and Mei Shu also secretly shed tears.

  "Child, don't cry, we won't cry, we have father and mother, they will definitely come back. They definitely will."

  As he thought about it, Zhao Guozhu fell asleep. In his dream, he saw his parents coming to pick him up and take him home, beckoning him to return to their side. Zhao Guozhu ran and ran, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up with them. He fell down and got back up again, continuing to chase after the figures of his parents.

  "Dad, mom, wait for me, wait for me!" Zhao Guo shouted loudly in his dream, but his parents were still standing far away, waving at him.

  Guo Dong wanted to see clearly what his parents looked like, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get a clear view.

  "Dad, Mom, when are you coming to take me home?" Zhao Guotang's tears wet the pillow.

  At this time, Gao Jiancheng was already drunk and fell asleep on the table, tightly holding those two toy guns in his hand, with tears still wet at the corners of his eyes.

  You're back, and you can't leave now. You can't abandon me. In the dream, Gao Jian was still continuing their reunion as brothers.
