Hong Yanwu was really excited. In order to find out the truth, he quickly gave a brief explanation of the past events in his family to "Tang Xin'er".
He said that he had a third uncle who left home to fight against Japan at the age of 17 and never came back. The only contact he had with his family was that he secretly sent a letter and a wedding photo to his family when he got married.
But family ties cannot be severed by separation. If family members are gone, they have to be found.
His grandfather did not wait until his third uncle came back. He was still thinking about his son before he died, so he entrusted the matter to his father.
And his father later, after much inquiring, finally found out that his third uncle had lived in the French Concession in Shanghai with his wife and daughter under the name "Mr. Lu".
It's a pity that we still haven't met each other, because on the eve of Japan's surrender in 1945, the third uncle's family mysteriously moved away from here and disappeared.
Originally, his father wanted to continue tracing him. But then the civil war broke out and social unrest made it impossible to find him.
After liberation, "movements" came one after another. The family was not sure whether the third uncle was red or black, so they did not dare to speak out anymore.
But to be honest, this incident eventually became a concern for my father. Even now, even though he has realized that he may never come back, he still wants to know the final whereabouts of his third uncle.
And he had just seen the photo that his father took the risk to save from the "sports". That's why he felt that the person sitting with "Sister Agou" in the photo was his third uncle.
Now "Tang Xin'er" said that the person in the photo was named Lu, which was consistent with what he knew. This was a bit strange. On the contrary, it showed that his third uncle and the person in the photo were the same person.
So he hoped that "Tang Xin'er" could tell him what she knew about the situation, so as to put an end to the longing of a family for several generations.
These words were so tragic that even Hong Yan himself was moved by his description.
"Tang Xin'er" is a girl, and seeing that she is about to join the Hong family as his daughter-in-law, she will naturally not remain indifferent.
So after carefully recalling it, she told Hong Yanwu some remembered information. She said that if the person in the photo was really his third uncle, then his third uncle had really broken "Sister Agou's" heart.
Because this person not only concealed the fact that he was married. He also got close to "Sister Agou", pleased her, and even promised to marry her, just to use her to steal the briefcase of an important military official.
It's just that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. "Sister Agou" accidentally discovered the true identity of the target she wanted to attack and stopped her attack in time.
And this person had been secretly monitoring the whole process. When he saw that his goal was not achieved, he exposed his identity as an underground party and disappeared completely without even leaving a word.
After that, "Sister Agou" thoroughly found out everything. She was very convinced that from beginning to end, this person had only deliberately deceived her with purpose, without even giving a single bit of sincerity!
All for his party and his doctrine...
Hearing this, Hong Yanwu's head suddenly lit up, as if a candle was lit in his heart.
It's just that although this candle tried hard to illuminate the chaotic fog, it was not easy because the light was too weak.
And even if he continued to ask questions and asked "Tang Xin'er" to recall, it would only be so much, and there would be no other relevant details.
Because in fact, in "Tang Xin'er's" memory, "Sister Agou" almost kept silent about this life experience. Even "Aunt Bao" was completely unaware of it. She was "caught" completely by chance.
"Have such two ears."
In fact, the reason why "Sister Agou" mentioned it to her was to use her personal experience as a warning to teach her never to trust men. And to make her understand that for men, career and utility are everything.
, and feelings are just a foil, the easiest thing to sacrifice.
How had she ever imagined that one day, this matter would be so closely related to her future husband's family?
So things got stuck again at this point. There is still no definite result on the whereabouts of "Mr. Lu".
Under Hong Yanwu's strong request, the only thing "Tang Xin'er" could do was to take him to find two dusty black shadow puppet albums from the debris stored in another east wing room, and try to
Just look for some clues from the past photos of "Sister Agou".
It's a pity that after looking through all the photos, they still found nothing.
From the photo album, we can only see that "Sister Agou" had a truly wonderful life. It fully demonstrated the myriad charms of a beautiful Shanghai woman during the Republic of China.
Not to mention those half-length photos, profile photos, makeup photos with gorgeous clothes and bright jewelry, as well as game-like photos of men in costumes, costumes, and sunglasses, which are enough to illustrate the wealth and happiness of his life.
And in a large number of travel photos, the Sassoon Building on the Shanghai Bund, the Chinachem Hotel (now called the Peace Hotel), the Shanghai Bund Park (now called Huangpu Park), Hongkou Park (now called Lu Xun Park), Zhaofeng Park (now called
Zhongshan Park), Molière Road (now known as Xiangshan Road), and Jisi Feier Road (now known as Wanhangdu Road).
Or the three famous casinos in the Far East in the old days, the horse racing hall, the dog track, and the jai alai stadium. They all became the background to set off the beautiful figure of "Sister Agou" and reflect her wanton enjoyment.
If Hong Yanwu hadn't known the details of "Sister Agou", he would have mistaken her for some Shanghainese socialite just by looking at the photos.
But the most critical point is actually quite helpless.
That is, these photos are basically "Sister Agou"'s personal photos. There are very few photos taken with others. Not only is there no man around, but occasionally I find one or two photos, which are photos of her and "Auntie Bao".
For this reason, Hong Yanwu asked "Tang Xin'er" in disappointment.
"Are all your master's photos here? Why don't you see any group photos? Are they all burned?"
"How could it be? They're all here. If they were to be burned, they wouldn't even be left here."
"Sugar Heart" then stroked the black leather cover of the album and couldn't help but sigh.
"Actually, this is normal. Our Jinxian sect is all female, and we are engaged in this industry, so we need to take precautions the most. Have you ever thought about it, if my master really takes photos with anyone casually, once those photos are taken away?
What would it be like in the hands of the Youth Gang, patrols and special agencies? I'm afraid that the 'Jinxian' will fall apart immediately, and everything my master has done will be investigated and revealed."
"So my master usually lives alone, even if he doesn't even see his sisters, let alone take photos. It's just a line to prevent someone from being investigated. This way, if something goes wrong, we can still help each other.
, find a way to get people out."
"As for men, my master has always regarded them as prey. It's really unique that I could be deceived by your third uncle like this. I still find it unbelievable. In fact, what is the relationship between my master and your third uncle?
How did your third uncle gain the favor of my master? How did they meet? How did they get along? I am more curious than you..."
The smell of Taipinghua fills the room, just like a person's depression that cannot be resolved and lingers.
Their search came to a complete halt. The data was like a tangled mess, with no clues to be found. Probably from the beginning, this tangled mess was firmly tied from head to tail by the hand of fate, deliberately making it difficult for people to choose.
Out. Deliberately trying to see their jokes.
To talk about Hong Yanwu's mood at this time, it is extremely complicated.
What he was thinking about was the past of his third uncle. To him, he originally thought it was just a story and had nothing to do with it. At that time, he promised his father to help find this uncle just to comfort his hometown.
Little did they know that in the end, just when everyone in the Hong family was almost disappointed in their search and was about to come to an end, it was their turn to discover and verify further progress.
But unfortunately, these things you discover can only be pieced together with a few fragments. God knows how long it will take for the finale to come to light.
Now I think, maybe there really is a pair of hands controlling everything in the world, as if they are deliberately against others, forcing everyone living in this world to cry and laugh without stopping.
Sorrow, sadness, lovesickness, concern...
People really can't help but believe this.
Because if you think about it carefully, the third uncle's change of name is almost like singing "Shiro Visits His Mother".
Yang Yanhui changed his name to Mu Yi, married Princess Dai Zhan, and stayed in Fanying for fifteen years. His third uncle, who replaced "Hong" with "Lu", has been lurking in Shanghai and doing underground work.
Moreover, in that era when photography technology was limited and most of the photos were blurry, the photo of the secretive third uncle sitting together with "Sister Agou" who never took photos with others was captured so clearly. It was also a kind of
Incredible probability.
What's more, it has been kept in such a place. It was discovered by him who had just seen the photo of his third uncle and still had fresh memories. All of this can really only be evaluated with the word "miracle".
