Stride on the Journey (96) 4D update (https://www.clewxc.com/book/202108/23/12973.html first release)
Return to the journey(96)
The door of the private room is closed tightly, but I know that there are many people in my group on this train.
When times are good, everything is fine. But when things go wrong, not everyone can handle it.
Shuanzi and Xiaodao went out directly, and someone had to be watching from the outside so that people inside could talk with peace of mind.
Huaizi hugged the child and said, "I can take Changping out smoothly."
It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s about this matter, what can be done with the least risk.
Lin Yutong said two things first: "First, it is more risky. That is to wait and do nothing. There is a line on the other side of Ding Wang. Hongtao came to me before and said that Ding Wang was the first to object to going to Qin Province, but
There was no refutation later, only that he wanted to think about it. Could it be said that Mr. Wei, who was clearly a rubber businessman, still hoped that Ding Wang would continue to follow up. There are three possibilities for the origin of Mr. Wei.
First, he is a person from the j family, who was appointed by Dai to get close to us. Second, he is a person from the w family, with the same purpose. Third, he came from outside the country."
She shook her head as she spoke, "Let's talk about the first possibility first. Could it be J's person? Impossible. Therefore, the purpose of sending someone here is probably more for surveillance than for the desire for the secret recipe. For J, working for him
That's enough. He can't do this kind of thing of digging up people's secret recipes, and there's no need for it. In fact, Hu Mulan's visit before leaving further proved this. Dai has doubts about us, and he has this intention.
I really don’t have any other thoughts. And Ding Wang obviously had a deal with the other party about the medicine, which proves that these people are just medicine. This directly rules out the possibility of a J-type."
Yeah! That’s what it is.
"And w is still in exile in country f. It is still unknown when he will return. It is too late for him to protect himself, so he still has the intention to make this plan? With this manpower, he can plot j, and he will not waste this money on a charlatan.
thought."
That leaves only the third possibility.
"It's not in the country. It looks like a Chinese. It can't be anyone else except Japanese." Lin Yutong said firmly, "Let's determine the origin of this line. There is no objection to this."
No! In fact, once it appears, this is basically something that does not require verification, but is 80% certain.
Now, if we compare what happened in these days together, this conclusion is 100% correct and cannot be wrong.
Tongtong then said: "...They have carefully planned and arranged things one after another to find ways to get close to me. Even when we go to Qin Province, they are also trying to make Ding Wang follow us. If so.
, their plan is too big. If they intercept us halfway, the possibility of killing us here is too small."
Fang Yun understood a little bit, "Either, use us to blackmail you. Or, just let us have a near miss. I'm afraid there's no guarantee that we will meet a 'good guy' who can help us get through the difficulties."
Yes! Ding Wang’s nail is too obvious. Bai Xue can’t even deceive Ding Wang. Who would believe that he can deceive us?
But people just want to keep pushing the obvious nails forward. Why?
This is a secret game of chess!
What chess piece can go unnoticed? Does a friend in need count as a life-saving grace?
It definitely counts.
Lin Yutong said, "That's why I say this method is more risky. Because it's all based on our guesses! What if it's wrong? What if someone who can't escape is imprisoned and forces me to submit? Although I know,
It's unlikely, but I don't want to take such a risk. It's stupid to put your life on someone else."
Well! Bage nodded, "Secondly..."
"Second..." Lin Yutong paused, and then uttered four words: "Preemptive strike!"
How can you be the first to attack? How can you prevent others? Unless you can convince me that your method is indeed not risky, otherwise, I dare not ask you to take risks. Just throw in one or two irrelevant recipes at the right time.
Time to escape is more cost-effective than risking you.
Lin Yutong waved his hand, "Our safety always comes first... I will not risk the lives of so many people, including myself." After saying that, he pointed outward, "Judging from the current blockade,
, this car will definitely be subject to extremely strict searches. If we find a way to hide and escape, the people in this car, at least the driver on this train, including all the staff, will not be able to get rid of the relationship."
Fang Yun asked, "Do they really dare to do murder?"
Tongtong glanced at her, "I didn't kill anyone last year, but this year...it's hard to say! If this is really meant to be a test, then they will be even more aggressive than last year. Are you betting? I can't afford to bet."
Fang Yun smiled bitterly, "It's really ironic to be forced to have no way out in our own country."
Tongtong was about to speak, but there was a knock on the door, followed by Shuanzi. Shuanzi came in and whispered: "Sister, I seemed to have seen Director Hu Mulan just now."
Hmm? In the car or outside the car?
"The car on the opposite side." Shuanzi pointed outward, "Come and take a look. The car that just arrived is a special train."
It seems that the superiors got the letter and sent officials to negotiate, and Hu Mulan was among them.
Lin Yutong went out directly, but she just saw Hu Mulan getting off the train and coming this way. She went back to the box and waited for Hu Mulan. She must have come to see her.
Sure enough, after a short while, the door was pushed open, and it was Hu Mulan.
Hu Mulan had been walking leisurely and carelessly before. She got into the car because she was walking in a hurry and was out of breath. "Fortunately, I made it in time and you haven't moved yet."
Lin Yutong frowned, "I'm stuck here and can't get out. Of course I have to find a way..."
"I know! I know what you will think!" Hu Mulan gritted her teeth and lowered her voice, "I know if you can't get out, things will be turned upside down. But Lin Sanniang, you can't do anything so extreme. Any of your
An extreme move may cause immeasurable consequences. It was the government forces that captured Jiaozhou from the Feng clan, and Quancheng is still garrisoned by the Feng clan to this day. The Feng clan has a delicate relationship with the Japanese people, as you know. The Japanese people always
And when I landed in Jiaozhou again, I came and went, but the conflict never escalated. Do you know why? Because there is no excuse, and they are looking for excuses. And I can tell you frankly, if you give them an excuse, they will
We will kill without hesitation. And I can tell you the truth, we are not ready for war. You should also know this. The more internal troubles continue, the more cautious we must be in dealing with foreign troubles. This
, you can’t deny it, right?”
There is no denying that this is correct!
But you should at least listen to my plan.
Hu Mulan waved her hand, "Your purpose is to keep your group safe, right?"
right!
"Then it's over! You and your group will follow me to the special train. First, ask the people in this car to get off and disperse. You and the officials who are traveling with you will go to the administrative office. This matter can be resolved through communication." Hu Mulan
He whispered, "I don't care what your plans are, how detailed your plans are, and how you can guarantee that you won't escalate the situation, but what if it happens? I recognize your ability, but you also have to believe that others are not fools.
No one who can sit in a high position has any calculation in his heart. You have to know that no matter how powerful you are, the information between you and those above you is not equal. They know the news you know, but you don’t know the news they know.
They must not know everything. They are coordinating the overall situation based on comprehensive information. When you don’t know what is hidden behind it, you cannot act rashly. I hope you understand this and cooperate with me. If not, then I
We will... at the expense of you, ensure that no accidents occur and the situation is stable and controllable."
Tongtong said nothing, because Hu Mulan in front of her was very nervous and her strings were stretched very tightly. From this, it can be seen that the current situation is like putting explosives on the stove and it will explode at any time.
She poured the tea and handed it over, "Take a sip, don't be nervous, I won't move. I'll cooperate with you, don't tighten the string so tightly."
As soon as Lin Yutong let go, Hu Mulan looked up at her, then sat down on the bed, "You don't know the situation... This is not the place to talk..." She drank the tea in one gulp, "Let's go first, you are not here
In the car, everything will be fine in this car. You don’t need to thank me for helping me out, it’s my responsibility. In addition, I will pick you up, I also need your help..."
"Say it!" Tongtong took the cup from her hand and agreed without hesitation.
Hu Mulan raised her head: "The safety over there is also worrying. They all welcome you to come! If things really... if things get out of control, without you, I'm afraid I can't guarantee the personal safety of the special commissioner..."
That is, everyone is sitting in the same boat and helping each other.
Tongtong nodded, "Okay!" As long as he left the station and there were fewer people involved, he would naturally have a way to ask Fourth Master and the others to escape first. Jiaozhou is such a big place, and there are people from drug stores who can take care of them. Besides, there are not many Japanese soldiers.
, all the personnel are used to occupy the railway line, and the city cannot be sealed. As long as we leave the city, that is enough.
As for herself, she can do whatever she wants. As long as Fourth Master and the others are safe, so what if she just cooperates with Hu Mulan to protect their trip?!
With this calculation in mind, Tongtong looked at Fourth Master, who nodded. She then looked at Bage, who also nodded slightly.
Okay! Let's go then! The luggage is packed, let's get up now.
Opening the door of this carriage, there were Japanese soldiers with live ammunition and guns standing outside. The first one held a command knife in his hand and looked at Hu Mulan.
Hu Mulan stepped forward to negotiate, "We can only talk about the rest after everyone gets on the special train."
The other party glanced at Lin Yutong, glanced at Yang Zi and Changping, and said to Lin Yutong: "I have heard of Mr. Lin's name for a long time. Mr. Lin, don't be nervous, and don't misunderstand. We are here to protect the subjects of the empire.
, will not restrict anyone’s freedom…”
These "imperial subjects" are more than 20,000 Japanese people living in Jiaozhou. It is also caused by historical reasons that so many Japanese people live in Jiaozhou. These Japanese people in Jiaozhou applied for protection from their emperor, and this happened again and again.
And San's landing in Jiaozhou.
Such repeated testing is to determine when the time is right to start a war with China.
Lin Yutong said nothing, only nodded, and the group followed Hu Mulan onto the opposite train.
The moment the car door closed, Hu Mulan immediately ordered, "Close the curtains...quickly..."
Lin Yutong carried the child over and hung it on his body, and pulled the fourth master to occupy a corner of the carriage. Huaizi pulled Yang Zi, Xiaodao was in charge of Shuanzi, and Ba Ge and Fang Yun both went straight to the corner to stay.
There were quite a few people on the train. Seeing this behavior, there was a young man among them. Lin Yutong did not recognize this person. When he opened his mouth, he said with a bit of ridicule: "I have seen Mr. Lin's style today."
."
Silly b! She ignored these two fools and only whispered to comfort the child, "Don't be afraid, no matter what you hear, don't be afraid, okay?" After saying that, she took out two cotton balls from her pocket and stuffed them into the child's ears.
I originally prepared this thing because I was worried that the noise in the car would make the child sleep poorly. Who knew that this would happen.
Chang Ping nodded and obediently asked his mother to plug it in. Then he reached out and covered his ears to show that he wasn't afraid, but he covered them and couldn't hear.
As a result, before I could say the second sentence of my words to comfort the child, there was a loud bang, and bullets flew in from the window glass here and flew out from the window glass over there.
This bullet really missed the fool who just mocked Lin Yutong. He immediately fell to the ground and hugged his head, trembling all over.
You fool! They are testing you! They are constantly challenging your bottom line. You still think that you are a special envoy and they will not shoot you.
Sure enough, the curtain was raised from the outside, with a long bayonet. People outside could not see in, but their tone was a bit joking. The man said, "Sorry, everyone, the gun has misfired."
Xiaodao pulled the livid-faced bolt tightly, and only a fool carried it. Didn't you see that Sister Lin's expression was expressionless at this moment? When there are too many people behind you who need to be protected, even if you are a hero, you have to shrink.
Become a bear.
Sister Lin has a child in her arms, we are behind her, and there are so many innocent Chinese people outside. It would be unwise to confront each other at this time. Isn’t Hu Mulan a hero? She is also a hero for killing Japanese people! But she doesn’t bite her too.
He gritted his teeth and endured it, straightened it out, and retracted his claws.
He really felt that those who could stretch but were willing to shrink were the real heroes.
Sister Lin and Hu Mulan actually already have this idea.
He didn't know that besides paying attention to the child in her arms, Tongtong was most worried about her fourth master. She looked at him worriedly, but didn't know how to ask or say anything.
Fourth Master squeezed Tongtong's hand, shook his head slightly, but said nothing.
After the noise outside stopped and all the people in the station had evacuated, the special train was allowed to go. One car after another outside the station took the group to the office.
The Shuanzi Trail includes Huaizi and Yangzi, who are all dressed like servants, wearing short trousers and long trousers. It is obviously not enough to have a car to bring them along.
Huaizi said: "If we know the place, we can go there by ourselves. Taking a rickshaw is the same."
Lin Yutong looked at Huaizi, who nodded slightly. Lin Yutong felt relieved and got into one of the cars with only the fourth master and the child, as well as Zhuba and Fang Yun.
Tongtong sat in the passenger seat with her child in her arms, and the other three people sat in the back seat.
No one said anything, and Chang Ping stayed obediently. He was frightened by the sound of the gun before, but he didn't cry. He didn't make a sound during the whole process of getting out of the car.
Tongtong patted the child again and again, and when the car was about to turn, she said to the driver, "Can you please pull over for a moment? The child needs to pee."
Chang Ping looked up at his mother. He just peed before getting off the car and didn't want to pee.
But his mother looked at him and asked, "Do you want to pee?"
When the child opened his eyes and was about to speak, the driver next to him said: "It's okay, the child's urine is okay, just pee in the car."
Chang Ping blinked his eyes and opened his mouth to say: "Smelly... Shit smelly..."
Tongtong was stunned. A smile flashed in the fourth master's eyes. He raised his hand and touched this kid's head. How could he be so clever?
Fang Yun then spoke up, "Pull over for a moment. There's a car behind you. We're afraid we'll run away! You don't even have time to tell your children to poop? Are you in the same group as the Japanese people?"
No! Yes... What if there is an accident while parking halfway?
"I'm not afraid of my family, so what are you afraid of?" Lin Yutong said again, "Pull over and park."
The car slowly pulled over, and the two cars behind it also stopped. The first one to get out was Hu Mulan. Hu Mulan waved her hand and told the last car to go first, without waiting. Then she saw two cars behind the convoy, not far or near.
The car is coming this way.
She walked towards Lin Yutong and leaned against the door of the car, "There is someone outside to pick you up."
"pharmacies are open in almost all big cities, and they have their own places everywhere. When we came to Jiaozhou, of course we sent a message to the drugstore shopkeepers here. Knowing that there were many people around us, we rented two cars to come and pick us up."
It's true! Huaizi and the others weren't in any rickshaw, they were probably in the car at the back.
Hu Mulan stepped aside a little and asked the car door to open: "If you want to leave, they will leave, but you can't leave."
"I know!" Lin Yutong opened the car door and asked Fourth Master and the others to get out of the car. Then he said to Hu Mulan, "The Japanese people have goals, and that goal is me. If they want to use my family to coerce me, then I don't care what the situation is.
Next time, I will always take care of my family first. So..."
Therefore, there is no point in forcing your family to stay. On the contrary, if there is any situation on your side, you will not be able to rely on her help.
Just when Hu Mulan was about to say something, she looked up and saw Chang Ping turning his face. The child's eyes were black and white, and she looked at him with gleaming eyes. She shouted: "Auntie."
Hu Mulan's mouth twitched as soon as she watched, then she touched the child's head with her stiff hand, then immediately took it back and turned her back to Lin Yutong, waving her hand, "Hurry up if you want to leave."
Tongtong glanced at the fourth master, then touched the child's face, "Be obedient."
"Come back tomorrow..."
OK! I'll definitely come back tomorrow.
Stutter patted Tongtong, "I'm here!"
I know!
Tongtong stood on the side of the road, watching the car stop over there. Huaizi got out of the car and picked up the fourth master and the child. Bago followed the fourth master and the child closely, and she waved. Then the car turned around,
Walking in the opposite direction, Tongtong finally looked away. Without another glance, he got into the car.
Hu Mulan followed Lin Yutong into the car, and neither of them spoke.
After a long time, Hu Mulan said: "What are you teaching me?" Aunt? You can think of it.
Lin Yutong said in her heart, I really didn’t teach her. My children call all the women who are close to me, around the same age, aunt! They know how to call aunt, and they know how to call mom. Later, they evolved into aunt, and they have been called that way. Who listened?
Everyone thinks this is a sign of intimacy, even Hu Mulan does this.
She did not explain, but changed the subject and got down to business: "You have pinned your hopes on talking, but how to talk? This is a fruitless ending... Besides, you know the situation in Quancheng. What kind of person is Fengxi Zhang Chang?"
?He has no chance of winning against the B-defense army. You have to guard against such people colluding with outsiders for personal gain to cause trouble!"
Hu Mulan rubbed her forehead, "Someone should consider this kind of thing. My duty is to protect the safety of officials in this line of work." Emphasizing safety again?
"Are there any casualties that we dare not report to the outside world?"
Hu Mulan was speechless, "You don't need to know. Everyone performs their duties and everyone does their job well. That's enough. The issues you worry about are the issues that should be discussed in the top staff room."
Lin Yutong rubbed his forehead, "It's really hard for me to cooperate with you. Our thoughts are not on the same line."
"Then you treat this as a deal. I asked your family to escape from the station, and you help me keep this group of people safe. Is that feasible?"
Fine!
Lin Yutong looked out the window and said nothing. Hu Mulan said, "I have to say that your gentleman is a capable man. He really chose a peaceful place. Everyone admires the prosperity of the big city, but he is the only one who has unique vision and chose a peaceful place."
Such a peaceful place.”
"An Ning?" Lin Yutong shook his head, "Maybe! There may be no bright arrows, but this hidden arrow... is difficult to prevent..."
Hu Mulan closed her eyes and squinted. She couldn't talk to her anymore, or else she might miss something. Therefore, she just leaned to the side and whispered, "Tell me to sleep for a while. This has happened since I entered Qilu
, I just didn’t sleep a wink.”
Well! Go to sleep.
Lin Yutong followed this group and entered the office. That night, they sent representatives out to talk. Hu Mulan didn't tell Lin Yutong how the talks happened. Lin Yutong just watched and didn't call out any trouble.
The next morning, they continued to talk. After returning, Hu Mulan's expression became much more relaxed. She even had a smile on her face and said to Lin Yutong: "It's okay, it's solved."
solved?
"Well!" Hu Mulan smiled at Lin Yutong, "Thanks to you for listening to me this time and not making a big fuss impulsively. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be difficult to talk about the matter."
Lin Yan frowned, but didn't ask any more questions, "Since everything is fine, it's basically safe. I don't need to stay here anymore, I have to leave."
Hu Mulan reached out and hugged Lin Yutong, "Thank you... I knew you were unusually reckless and you understood the overall situation."
You know shit, you know it! Stop sweetening me with your words.
Lin Yutong pushed her and turned away, "I still have my children waiting for me, so I don't have time to get tired of being here."
Hu Mulan laughed, crossed her arms and leaned against the table, watching Lin Yutong go out.
Lin Yutong was about to go out, so he stood still and said, "I don't know the content of your negotiation, but I think it is too easy to get. Usually this kind of situation means that they have a bigger conspiracy behind them. Beware of their good words.
I'll keep you in check and bite you hard when you relax."
Take a look! Worried again, "How about I recommend you to stay in Principal J's staff room?"
Lin Yutong ignored her teasing and told her: "The situation in Jiaozhou is very bad now. There are many people who have ideas against me. I will not stay in Jiaozhou for a long time."
Hu Mulan nodded, "Yeah, yeah! I will pass on your reminder. You can go your own way, don't worry."
Don't worry, Lin Yutong can't control it. As soon as she went out, a rickshaw pulled by Xiaodao came over. He covered his face with a big bamboo hat. Lin Yutong got in the car directly, and Xiaodao took him and ran away. He chose a small alley to take a detour.
People came and went, regardless of whether there was anyone behind them or not. Even if someone was wandering around like this, they would be thrown away. Turning from the alley to the intersection, there was a car parked there. The two of them abandoned the rickshaw and got directly into the car.
When she got to the car, Tongtong saw the homespun clothes on the car seat at a glance. These were prepared for her to change into. It seemed that Bago had already made arrangements. She couldn't help but ask: "How many of our people are there yet?"
At the drug store?”
"No!" Xiaodao whispered, "Bago didn't ask the people at the drug store to take us to a place prepared in advance. Instead, we temporarily changed our route and settled in a small hotel. In the middle of the afternoon, Brother Jin contacted a foreigner.
They drove over and picked up all our people outside the city. The foreigner had a manor outside the city, and we stayed at the manor last night. We only found a stranger to send a message to the pharmacy, informing them that it was
We have moved and it is safe, so tell them not to pry."
"What about now? Are you still in the manor?"
"No!" Xiaodao said and laughed, "Brother got up early and bought a carriage at a high price. Our people are now on the carriage, moving on the road outside the city, mixed in with a large number of fellow villagers returning home.
, people who are familiar with it cannot find it. As for the car we are using now, I will park it at the designated place and someone will pick it up. As soon as we leave the city, you can get off the car first and I will park the car and come to find you.
"
Good! No one can know where they are going.
She quickly changed her clothes in the car. The clothes were half-worn. The upper body was a small half-breasted jacket with a blue background and white flowers, the lower body was a pair of black leggings, and the feet were half-old cloth shoes.
She got out of the car, wrapped her clothes up and threw them into a pile of firewood. There was nothing flammable around the pile of firewood, so she lit it directly, as if someone had thrown a cigarette butt and lit it because she was not afraid of burning it.
If there was anything else, those who saw it were too lazy to put out the fire, just burn it, it will be extinguished naturally after burning. Lin Yutong stood behind a section of earth wall a few steps away, watching her come out after burning.
I checked it once to make sure it was completely burned, then mixed the burned ashes with the soil on the ground and rubbed it. The face, neck, hands and wrists, and even the exposed insteps of the shoes, were all colored.
Then he pretended to be convenient and ran towards the wilderness. After running a little far, there was a pile of corn stalks dozens of meters away.
We agreed to wait at the roadside.
When he came over Xiaodao, he was stunned at first. If he hadn't put the clothes in the car by himself, he wouldn't have dared to recognize them at first sight.
"Sister, what about it?"
"There is no one in the open, and there may be someone in the dark who has some idea. It's best to hide the secret from even the people in the dark. Otherwise, we will have to be on tenterhooks along the way. We can't make the same mistake."
Right!
After walking forward for about half an hour, we saw Huaizi waiting on the roadside. The three of them met up, and it took another twenty minutes to catch up with the carriage that was walking slowly.
The Fourth Master was in the car with his child. As soon as Lin Yutong opened the curtain, Chang Ping's eyes lit up and his mouth opened wide, but he only silently called out "Mom——" and then covered his mouth and shook his head.
It means that if he doesn't make a sound, no one will know that there is a child in the car.
This is what the Fourth Master taught me, I guess. Taking a child out is really too high-profile. If you don't let the child show up, just hide it for a day or two, and you can definitely get by smoothly.
But it’s just wronging the child!
Tongtong went up and held the child in her arms, praising him softly: "Good boy."
The child didn't sleep peacefully without his mother by his side all night. Now he fell asleep next to his mother. Lin Yutong looked at the child's face carefully and asked the fourth master in a low voice what the child had eaten and drank since yesterday.
Asked very carefully.
Fang Yun, who was sitting aside, felt extremely uncomfortable watching this. At this time, she felt that it was right to not have children before! Otherwise, how much the children would suffer in days like this!
Sometimes when she looked at Chang Ping, her nose felt sore and her heart ached with pain.
Changping is lucky, but there are more unfortunate children. How do they live?
Ba Ge glanced at Fang Yun and saw that the couple over there had almost finished talking, so he changed the subject, "We won't stay any longer...head all the way west, pass Taicheng, and enter Henan Province..."
good!
Once you have a goal, it's easy to handle it. If you don't go through any town, you can just find a small village at night, rent a house from someone else, and have a place to stay. Head west all the way, take the small road instead of the main road, and everyone will be surprised.
It seems like I'm visiting relatives. But in fact, as long as it's to the west, who has paid attention to which village?
Changping was very well-behaved. He was far away from Jiaozhou and hardly encountered anyone on the road. He could go out for a walk, but he only stayed for a while. When he saw someone coming from a distance, he took the initiative to go back to the carriage.
Most of the night was spent resting in the carriage with Tongtong. Many people who stayed overnight didn't know that they were traveling with such a small child.
It can be said that after walking for three days, I got rid of him completely.
Mr. Wei, who was in the capital, received a telegram. When deciphered, there were only four words in the telegram: The fishing net has leaked.
The fishing net leaked, which proved that the fish not only failed to catch, but also broke through the fishing net and ran away! Now I don’t even know where it went.
What to do?
He stayed up all night, thinking about how to reply to Phoenix. If it didn't work, he would use the stupidest method - wait and see!
But at dawn, he received a telegram and was scolded by his boss. In addition, he was told that Phoenix was going to fly solo and he was strictly prohibited from summoning Phoenix.
Mr. Wei burned the telegram and gritted his teeth.
Phoenix flies solo? Haha!
Lin Yutong doesn't know whether Phoenix is a phoenix or not. After three days, it's only half a day's journey from Tai City. This time, we have to enter the city. After all, there is still a long way to go, and there are so many people in the group.
It's too much trouble to only have one carriage. Moreover, if there is an accident, you will be completely unable to move. Therefore, you have to stop and repair in Taicheng for a few days, and then prepare some things needed for the long journey. From transportation,
Food needed for the journey.
Tai City is not small, and it is only half a day's ride from Quancheng by horseback. There are many medicine shops here, but Bago has no intention of showing up to contact them and is completely invisible.
The group of people entered the city in two groups and went to the same inn to stay.
Fourth Master and Tongtong took Huaizi and Yang Zi, and Zhuoba and Fang Yun took Xiaodao and Shuanzi, and settled in two adjacent small courtyards of an inn.
Tongtong didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home with her children and Yang Zi. The fourth master went out to prepare things with Bago.
It is not difficult to buy carriages and other items. But this road is long, and if you want to be comfortable, you will need at least three carriages. The carriages also need to be modified to make the road more comfortable.
This delay is only half a month.
Lin Yutong also noticed that no one was interested in her group, so she was not in a hurry. Walking slowly, as long as there was no danger, was really good for the child.
Not to mention Changping, even Yang Zi is only a little bit old. It's good to take it easy.
But it was during this half month that something happened.
When I woke up this day, I felt that it was very chaotic outside.
The fourth master hadn't gotten up yet, and Huaizi was washing up in the yard. Tongtong wanted to use someone else's kitchen to cook something for the child, so just like the previous few days, he took the money and went to the someone else's kitchen.
The chef is an uncle, and when I went there I heard crying from his side.
The uncle was wiping his tears. Opposite him stood a young man who was about to cry. He heard the young man crying and saying, "...Those Japanese are just beasts! Beasts...things inferior...The streets of Quancheng are now full of blood."
…Not only were the eldest girl and the young daughter-in-law ruined... but after the ruin, they were also killed... Killing was not enough... the women's breasts were cut off..."
Lin Yutong felt blood rushing to his forehead at that time, and asked: "Where? Where did you escape from?"
"Quancheng!" The young man's tears came down again, "Quancheng..."
"Isn't there a National People's Army in Quancheng?" Aren't they fighting fiercely with Zhang Chang of the Feng clan? How did the Japanese get into the city? "That piece of shit Zhang Chang couldn't defeat the National People's Army, so he asked the Japanese for help and started to fight.
They welcomed people in through the city gate, and after that, they held a banquet in the city to entertain them. This matter had been spread in the city a few days ago, who didn't know about it! Later, seeing that something was wrong, he packed up his wife and took a few concubines with him.
He ran away...that army...I don't know why he didn't resist...I don't know why he didn't resist..." The young man's cry attracted a group of people surrounding him.
There was only the cry of the young man in my ears: "It's too tragic...it's too tragic...so many people have been killed..."
Lin Yutong's lips twitched, and she turned around to leave. But when she turned around, she saw Fourth Master holding Chang Ping, and Bago carrying Fang Yun, all in the crowd.
She walked back and gritted her teeth as soon as she entered the house, "Why don't you resist? Why? It's just like Hu Mulan's rhetoric. She has too many worries and the superiors don't allow it. But it's only half a day's journey from Quancheng. I think the incident only started yesterday.
Out of control……"
The fourth master nodded, "You are right. The situation is out of control. The cruelty of war is a disaster for ordinary people. Burning, killing and looting will continue. Until other big cities get the news, confirm the news, and then do more
Such behavior will not stop until there is a reaction. This comes and goes, as fast as three to five days, and as slowly as ten days. People are being massacred every day... Go ahead!" He turned to look at Chang Ping, "Scream.
Mom, go ahead, okay?"
Fang Yun asked, "Are you really not resisting at all?"
Orders are orders, but there is no shortage of bloody soldiers. If you really realize the consequences of obeying orders, you will resist them.
Lin Yutong has always believed in this.
Xiaodao gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to go. I'll go no matter what you say this time."
Huaizi pushed the child to Fourth Master: "I'll go too!"
Fang Yun took out the gun and loaded it, "Ask Chang Qing to go with you, I'm here! As long as I'm here, I guarantee the safety of Lao Jin and the child."
Fourth Master: "..." I don't like wielding a knife or a gun, but it's not that I don't know how! I really don't want someone to protect me, "Go! Don't worry about us..." He knew that Tongtong
She was afraid that if the situation in Quancheng was not under control, Taicheng, which was only half a day away from Quancheng, would suffer. This was what she was worried about. He waved his hand, "As soon as you leave, I will take the children to the Taoist temple on Mount Tai to stay. What are you doing?"
When will I come back, when will I go down the mountain? Don’t worry about that.”
Um!
Tongtong looked at Bago, "You prepare something, I have to send a telegram."
to whom?
"Hu Mulan!" Lin Yutong looked at the gun in her hand. It couldn't be replenished without ammunition. In this matter, she had to rely on Hu Mulan's hand.
Um!
Hu Mulan is still in Jiaozhou. The news from Quancheng came last night and is still being verified. She is waiting anxiously for the news. She has sent a telegram to the superiors. The instructions from the superiors are still to ask the subordinates to restrain the troops and not to go out without orders.
She wandered around the office, and the worst-case scenario was told by Lin Yutong. Driven by various forces and interests, the worst-case scenario appeared in Quancheng.
She was gnashing her teeth in her heart when hurried footsteps came from outside. She thought there was news from Quancheng, but who knew that someone came to report, "We can't decipher the telegram from Taicheng."
Hu Mulan was stunned for a moment, then took it and took a look and realized that it was from Lin Yutong.
She is in Taicheng at the moment.
After putting away the telegram, she turned to look at the map hanging on the wall. Then she clenched her fists together and walked away, "If you have anything to do, please see Director Li. I have something to do."
Where are you going?
Hu Mulan paused and said, "Quancheng!" She looked back at the adjutant: "I disobeyed military orders, and I will be held accountable later. If I can come back alive, I am willing to accept all punishment."
The adjutant was speechless and stood at attention, saluting.
Just as she was about to leave, the door behind her opened and Director Li came out. He said nothing and only saluted her.
Hu Mulan took off her military helmet, took off her epaulettes, stuffed it into the adjutant's hand, and walked away without hesitation.
After everyone left, Director Li asked the adjutant: "Whose telegram just came from?"
The adjutant whispered: "Lin Sanniang."
She! No wonder!
Director Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh, with a somewhat moved expression on his face: "When the country is in trouble, generous warriors will emerge!"
