The man was of average height and appearance, the kind that would not be found in a crowd. It was not known how he had been following Su Qingyun without being discovered.
"What is your name?" Su Qingyun did not ask any other questions.
"Lin Lu." The man named Lin Lu spoke crisply, "Miss Su, do you need any help?"
Su Qingyun pondered for a moment, and then said his request, "Can you help me check the specific location of my second brother Su Congwen?"
All she could think of was asking the people around her to protect her. Su Qingyun knew that he would definitely find a way to find out Su Congwen's whereabouts.
Lin Lu's expression did not change, and he seemed not surprised by her request.
He replied solemnly: "Sorry, Miss Su, it involves military secrets. I cannot agree to your request."
Su Qingyun was a little disappointed, but she expected it. After all, Su Congwen's location was related to strategic deployment, and it certainly couldn't be explained to outsiders.
"But..." Lin Lu changed the topic, "I can tell you whether he is safe."
Su Qingyun's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "It's okay to know if he is safe." It's good to know if the second brother is safe.
Lin Lu has been following Su Qingyun for a long time. From the beginning, the order he received was to meet all Su Qingyun's requirements as much as possible within a reasonable range. If he had any concerns or was unable to do anything, he could just go up. Make a report request.
He could clearly see how depressed and uneasy the Su family had been in the past few days, and he knew what they were most worried about, which was nothing more than Su Congwen's safety. This was within a reasonable range, and he could tell him.
"When will I know the news?"
"Soon." Lin Lu thought for a while, "I will give you news in the evening."
"Thank you, thank you!" Su Qingyun thanked her repeatedly, "It's so troublesome for you!"
"You're welcome, this is what I should do."
Lin Lu nodded slightly and quickly disappeared in front of Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun exhaled a breath, felt relieved, turned around and walked home.
"Yunyun, where have you been?" Qin Ying asked in confusion when she saw her daughter coming back from outside the house.
Su Qingyun said casually: "The room is stuffy, so I went out for a walk."
Qin Ying didn't think much about it and nodded. The atmosphere at home has been too heavy these days, so he might as well go out for a walk.
"Has Second Aunt eaten something?"
"No." Speaking of this, Qin Ying sighed again, "Your second aunt is really uncomfortable this time."
In the past, no matter what her mother-in-law Wu Guixiang said about Zhang Xinlan, she always looked lively and energetic. Qin Ying had never seen her look so wilted like now, and she felt uncomfortable looking at it.
"I'll go in and see my second aunt."
"good."
Su Qingyun walked into the room. Zhang Xinlan was lying on the bed, with a lifeless look on her face. She stared at the beam above her head with lifeless eyes, wondering what she was thinking.
"Second Aunt." Su Qingyun called her in a low voice and sat on the edge of the bed.
Zhang Xinlan rolled her eyes and moved to her body without speaking.
Su Qingyun approached her and whispered: "Second aunt, don't worry, second brother will be fine. I have asked someone to inquire."
Zhang Xinlan's eyebrows trembled, and her dull eyes finally gained color. She stretched out her calloused hand and held Su Qingyun's hand tightly, as if she had seen a savior, "Really?"
After not speaking for a long time, her voice became too hoarse to listen.
"Really." Su Qingyun nodded heavily, "There will be news soon."
"Second Aunt, get up and have something to eat. I'll tell you as soon as I receive the news." Su Qingyun advised her, "Otherwise, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it before the news about Second Brother comes. "
Zhang Xinlan hesitated for a moment, then tried her best to push herself up and sit up, "Okay, I'll eat."
If someone else had told her these words, she wouldn't believe it, but this was what Qingyun told her. She believed that Qingyun knew so many big shots and would be able to find out about Congwen.
She needed to eat something before she could properly hear the news from Congwen.
Seeing that she finally relented, Su Qingyun was overjoyed and shouted outside quickly, "Second Auntie wants to eat, bring it in quickly."
The frowning people outside were stunned, but Su Congwu was the first to react and ran in with a bowl of porridge that had been warming in the pot.
"mother!"
Su Congwu looked at Zhang Xinlan sitting on the bed in surprise, and his face became a little brighter. He brought the porridge to Zhang Xinlan.
"Give it to me." Zhang Xinlan's voice was still weak, she took the bowl and slowly finished the bowl of porridge.
Su Congwu and Su Qingyun both breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they are willing to eat, there should be no big problem.
After eating, Zhang Xinlan gained some strength and even went out of the room to say hello to everyone. The whole family felt relieved a little.
"Yunyun, what did you say to your second aunt?" Qin Ying pulled her daughter aside and asked.
She was surprised. No one in the family tried to persuade her, but after she went in and said a few words, the second sister-in-law seemed to have come to life.
"I just tried to persuade her." Su Qingyun didn't say anything about what she was looking for. After all, she hadn't gotten the exact information yet. "I guess the second aunt figured it out."
Qin Ying still felt something was wrong, but couldn't explain why, so she could only give up.
Su Qingyun returned to her room and waited for Lin Lu's reply until evening when someone knocked lightly on the window of her room.
She was instantly excited and couldn't wait to open the window. It was Lin Lu. He stood by the window and whispered: "Miss Su, I have contacted the front line. Don't worry, your second brother Su Congwen is safe now. The location is also relatively safe.”
"Okay, okay, as long as it's safe, it's okay." Su Qingyun got the news that his second brother was safe, and excitedly repeated twice, "Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." Lin Lu nodded and disappeared again.
The reason why he was able to get the specific information about Su Congwen so quickly was because of Su Qingyun's relationship. As a member of Su Qingyun's family, the Su family was under the attention of the above, not to mention the already excellent Su Congwen. It has long been the focus of their attention.
What Lin Lu didn't say was that Su Congwen was a student of the Combat Command Department and a valuable talent on the battlefield. Even on the front line, he would not easily face the enemy's firepower and would ensure the safety of such talents to the greatest extent. Therefore, he Don't worry too much about your safety.
Su Qingyun breathed a long sigh of relief and felt calm.
She quickly walked out of the room and entered Zhang Xinlan's room, "Second aunt, there is news about second brother."
"What?" Zhang Xinlan sat up suddenly and asked impatiently, "What news? How is Congwen?"
"Second Aunt, don't worry." Su Qingyun's voice was calm, calming her down, "Second brother is fine and safe now, don't worry."
"Really?" Zhang Xinlan couldn't believe it, "Yunyun, don't lie to me."
"It's true." Su Qingyun told her firmly, "The person I was looking for gave me the exact information that my second brother is safe."
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Xinlan said repeatedly, tears streaming down her eyes that were swollen like walnuts.
"Let's relax, second brother will be fine."
"Okay, okay, I know." Zhang Xinlan nodded heavily, "Congwen will be fine, definitely not."
She had to trust Qingyun. Qingyun was so promising and wouldn't lie to her. He definitely wouldn't.
Su Qingyun's words seemed to give Zhang Xinlan support, and her pale face turned red.
"Are the Su family here? I have your letter!" A voice suddenly came from outside the yard, it was the voice of the postman they were familiar with, "It was sent from Yun Province."
The whole family was stunned, and before they could react, they saw Zhang Xinlan rushing out of the room like a gust of wind, without even wearing shoes, running barefoot on the ground.
"A letter from Yun Sheng?" she asked as she ran, "Is it a letter from Congwen? Is it?"
The family also ran out quickly.
The postman looked at Zhang Xinlan and was startled. He took out the letter from his backpack and said, "It's from Yun Province, but the sender is not Su Congwen."
What? Zhang Xinlan's surprised expression dimmed instantly.
"Show me." Su Qingyun said quickly. Even if the letter sent from Yun Province was not sent by the second brother, it would still be related to the second brother.
"The sender's name is Wang Mo, and the mailing address is Spring City Army Academy!"
Su Qingyun hurriedly opened the letter, his eyes fell on the letter paper, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he shouted excitedly: "It's a letter from the second brother, it's a letter from the second brother!"
"What? Is it really a letter from Congwen?"
"Quick, Yunyun, read it quickly."
Is it from Congwen? Zhang Xinlan stayed for a second before reacting.
"good."
Before Su Qingyun could read it, Zhang Xinlan snatched it away. She widened her eyes, tried hard to control her trembling hands, and read it word by word. Su Qingyun had no choice but to stand beside her and read it slowly.
"Grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, eldest brother, Congwu and Yunyun, when you read this letter, I know that you already know the news that I am going to the battlefield. This This is a letter I asked my classmates at school to send back. As long as he receives the telegram you sent me, he will send this letter back to you."
"Please forgive me for my unfilial piety. I went my own way and made my own decision without telling you. But I still want to follow my inner wishes. I am a soldier. It is my duty to protect my family and the country. If the country is in trouble, When war breaks out, I should go to the battlefield to defend the integrity of the country and the safety of the people."
"As my family, I hope you can support my decision and be proud of me. When I go to the battlefield, I will protect the people and myself. Please believe that I will come back alive, I will! "
Su Qingyun's voice was choked with sobs as she read the last words. She didn't expect that her second brother would leave such a letter that could be called a clear intention. She could almost imagine what kind of mood the second brother had when he wrote this letter. Believe it.
Zhang Xinlan looked at the letter and was already crying.
The family couldn't control their emotions and shed tears.
