In the wind, Qiao Qiao's body trembled slightly, but she pretended to be strong.

That look made Wan Zhou choke up and said, "Sister-in-law..."

"Wan Zhou, I believe in your third brother." Qiao Qiao said with a tearful smile, "He will definitely come back."

Yes, they must believe it.

So Wanzhou nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes.

"Well, sister-in-law, third brother will definitely come back. You should have a good sleep first. Maybe it's true as you said. After you get some sleep, you can see third brother, An An and Li Yan brother tomorrow, and they will be safe together.

I'm back. I'll take you upstairs."

"No."

Qiao Qiao turned his attention to He Qidong.

His eyes were red and swollen, he was tired and embarrassed, and his body exuded a sour smell.

I don’t know how many days I haven’t taken a shower.

Abroad, what A Dong experienced must have been unimaginably difficult.

Fortunately, A Dong is still alive.

Finally, I found the only glimmer of relief in the pain.

"A Dong, you and Wanzhou go back and rest. Don't worry about me. I won't fall down. I still have to take care of the old man and Xiao Nian Nian. I will be strong."

She didn't dare to fall.

It can't fall either.

After turning around, Qiao Qiao dragged his tired body towards the villa.

In the wind, her slender body stood straight.

The cold night seemed to tear this small body to pieces at any time.

Behind them, He Qidong and Deng Wanzhou felt extremely distressed.

Especially He Qidong, after she walked into the villa, he slapped himself hard several times.

"It's all my fault..."

"A Dong, you didn't do anything wrong, don't do this." Wan Zhou held He Qidong's hand, her heart almost broke.

No one could sleep peacefully that night.

After Qiao Qiao went upstairs, she put Xiao Nian Nian to sleep.

Shang Zhongbo next to him wanted to persuade her, but she spoke first, "Dad, go to bed quickly, it's so late."

"Qiao..." Shang Zhongbo choked.

Qiao Qiao forced a smile and consoled him, "Dad, something happened to Phytolacca, and you must be feeling very sad. You have to think on the bright side. We haven't seen Phytolacca's body, so we can't believe that he is really dead."

Shang Zhongbo really couldn't hold it any longer.

He is too old to withstand such a blow.

He lost his wife when he was young, and if he really had to give a white-haired man to a black-haired man, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive.

After covering Xiao Niannian with the quilt, Qiao Qiao got up from the edge of the bed.

"Dad, I still have something to say to you. I'll help you back to your room. Don't keep arguing here until every year."

"good."

Qiao Qiao supported Shang Zhongbo and left Nian Nian's room.

After arriving at Shang Zhongbo's bedroom, Qiao Qiao went to get a basin of hot water.

After asking Shang Zhongbo to sit down, Qiao Qiao squatted down and said, "Dad, please soak your feet to relieve yourself."

With that said, he took off Shang Zhongbo's slippers and lifted his feet into the water.

Shang Zhongbo hurriedly took her hand and refused to let her wash it, "Qiaoer, you don't have to take care of me like this, I'm fine."

"Didn't you say that you love me more than Phytolacca and treat me as your biological daughter? I am your biological daughter, and it is the duty of a daughter to wash her father's feet." Qiao Qiao was still squatting on the ground.

She lifted one of Shang Zhongbo's feet and said, "I'll massage your feet and chat with you at the same time."

The old man has gone through such a big thing.

If something happens to your own son, you will definitely feel very sad.

Who can bear the pain of losing a child in old age?

Although she must believe that Phytolacca is still alive, the shipwreck of Phytolacca is already a fact...

She choked and felt uncomfortable.

The action of pressing the acupuncture points on the soles of the old man's feet also paused...

Continue again.

The old man was walking all the way just now, and he almost fell down with her support.

The old man is also holding on hard, she knows.

Once a person is in a bad mood or encounters something sad or sad, Qi, blood and liver Qi will be blocked.

Qiao Qiao has been in contact with some Chinese medicine practitioners and knows which acupuncture points on the soles of the feet should be massaged when liver qi is blocked.

As she pressed the button, she said, "Dad, do you still remember when we were attacked by wild wolves at the border?"

"Of course I remember. It was you who encouraged me to hold on until the rescuers came." Shang Zhongbo still remembered that unforgettable experience, as if it happened yesterday.

"Dad, we have to persevere this time and have faith in Phytolacca."

"He can't leave us alone."

"He is your son, you have to believe in him, right?"

After asking the last sentence, Qiao Qiao smiled slightly.

There was bitterness in her smile, encouragement to Shang Zhongbo, and her pretense of being strong.

With tears in her eyes, she said firmly, "Phytolacca is still alive and he will come back. Dad, don't think about anything. Have a good sleep. Everything will be fine at dawn."

"Qiao Qiao..." Shang Zhongbo burst into tears instantly.

"I'll press it for you again so you can sleep in a while." Qiao Qiao responded.

After washing the old man's feet and pressing the acupuncture points, she specially lit a scented incense to help him sleep.

Watching the old man go to sleep, he turned off the light for him.

She then returned to her room.

After taking a bath, she also lit herself a cup of incense to help her sleep.

She needs to sleep well.

Must sleep well.

In the past, Shanglu told her that when he first lived with her in a rental house, he couldn't sleep.

He always carries a table of chemical elements on his back.

She can no longer memorize the table of chemical elements.

She counted from one to ten thousand.

And count down from ten thousand to one.

I don’t know how long it took, but after a short sleep, it was daybreak.

The sun shines through the window again.

The darkness in the room was driven away.

The darkness in my heart is like an abyss, and I can't see the light.

I thought Phytolacca would be back at dawn.

But Phytolacca does not.

The only ones waiting to arrive were condolences from the naval aviation force and some leaders in the city.

The incident of the merchant shipwreck and sacrifice has become a foregone conclusion.

Two days later, even the leaders of the capital came to express their condolences.

Shang Zhongbo fell ill.

There was no way to receive the distinguished guests, so Qiao Qiao stepped in to receive them.

She held on and accepted it.

Before leaving, the leaders asked her to express their condolences, and she responded with a smile, "I believe my husband will come back and he is still alive."

Therefore, she did not plan to hold a funeral for Phytolacca striata.
