Chapter 120 [This Cup of Wine] (Part 2)

Yingzi covered her lips and was already bursting into tears, and the eyes of the other people were red.

Lao Hongtou said, "I took Yingzi out of Tianjin. Yingzi asked me, Grandpa, where is my father? Where is my mother? I don't know how to answer her. I should have lie to her, but when I saw Yingzi's eyes, I actually cried." He was crying when he said this.

Yingzi sobbed, "Grandpa, stop talking."

Lao Hongtou said, "I cry because I am ashamed of Yingzi. If I hadn't told my three sons back then that they would have to stand up in the world, maybe they would have been alive. I know they are right, and I am not wrong, but they will have selfish intentions in life. I often wonder why all the dead are my sons?"

No one can speak, and no one can answer this question from the elderly.

Lao Hongtou said: "The Qing Dynasty was destroyed and the Republic of China was established. People said that from then on, the people had a good life, and I believed it, but what did they do after the founding of the Republic of China? The concession or the concession, what should be suffered or suffered, and the Chinese still suffer. I don't know what is the difference between the present and the past?" He looked at the five young people in front of him with vicissitudes and said: "Maybe I am old, I cherish the people around me more and more, and I worry more about you children. I worry that someone among you will repeat the mistakes of my three sons. I worry that your enthusiasm and patriotism will be used by conspirators with ulterior motives. Whether you want to hear or not, I just want to advise you to think about the people around you no matter what you do, and think about your family. Some ideals do not have to be achieved through life. Your life belongs not only to yourself, but also to your parents and your relatives..."

When Lao Hongtou said this, his emotions became excited again.

Ye Qinghong picked up the teacup and whispered: "How can you wipe out the world if you don't sweep a house? In fact, if every Chinese can take good care of himself and his relatives and friends, the country will have a day of revitalization."

The blind man said, "I don't understand any great principles, but I also know that I must live well and not let my relatives and friends be sad."

Luo Lie picked up the wine glass and said, "If you stay in the green mountains, you won't be afraid of burning firewood. As long as you live, you will have hope. I am the most afraid of death!"

Yingzi burst into tears and laughed at his words: "I'm not afraid of death, but I won't let my grandfather be sad for me." When she said this, she took the initiative to look at Dong Zhijun, and he would naturally be among the people she cared about.

Lao Hongtou's heartfelt words did not come from his selfishness. It was because of too many painful feelings that made him realize that it was necessary to remind these young people that when their blood was boiling, they must remain rational. When they decided to fight for their ideals at all costs, don't forget what kind of pain their sacrifices and efforts will bring to their families. The old man is definitely not trying to stop them, but reminds them to think more and be more rational.

The reason why Lao Hongtou called Luo Lie over was not to call him back for dinner, nor was it so simple to say this to him. The old man remembered something. When he was sorting out the miscellaneous items in the storage room, he found a wooden box. The wooden box belonged to Luo Lie’s mother Shen Jiaqi, most of which were lesson preparation notes. Before Shen Jiaqi died, he entrusted Lao Hongtou to burn these notes. Lao Hongtou did not have time to do this. Later, something happened at his own home and hurriedly took his granddaughter to escape from his hometown. When he returned to Min'an Primary School, it was already after the founding of the Republic of China.

This wooden box and some of Lao Hongtou's debris were piled in the school storage room. After Luo Lie came that day, Lao Hongtou remembered this matter and went to the storage room to search through it. He found the wooden box in his memory, and it would be best to hand it over to Shen Jiaqi's descendants for treatment.

Luo Lie and the blind man carried the mottled wooden box into Ye Qinghong's car, said goodbye to Lao Hongtou's family, and returned to the hotel.

When he came to the hotel to unload the wooden box, Luo Lie asked the blind man to wait, and walked around the car window on the side of Ye Qinghong, bowed and smiled at her, "Do you want to go up and sit? Wait until I help transport the box, and then I'll send you back." Tianjin has not been peaceful recently. Although Luo Lie knew that Ye Qinghong was definitely not a weak woman without any power, he still expressed his concern for her and had no other intentions. No matter what Ye Qinghong had done before, he had to show his minimum demeanor as a man.

Ye Qinghong said: "I'm waiting for you in the car. I have some words, I want to say to you alone."

Luo Lie nodded, first with the blind man, he put the wooden box back into the room, then went out, returned to the passenger seat, sat down, smiled at Ye Qinghong and said, "I'll take you back."

Ye Qinghong started the car and slowly drove towards the direction of the horse court. She agreed to her best friend Tang Baoer tonight to talk to her at night, so she did not choose to return to her villa in the Italian concession.

After the wheels started, Ye Qinghong whispered: "Bai Yunfei has arrived in Huangpu safely."

A bright color of surprise appeared in Luo Lie's eyes. Doesn't Bai Yunfei's safe arrival in Huangpu mean that Fang Kewen is about to return safely, and the matter in Tianjin can finally come to an end.

Ye Qinghong said: "At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, someone will send him to your hotel. It is best to leave Tianjin immediately after you receive Fang Kewen, so as not to have too many dreams."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Okay, after I receive him tomorrow morning, I will take him out of Tianjin immediately and take the train to Peiping to reunite their family."

Ye Qinghong shook her head and said, "There are too many people on the train, and you are mixed with fish and dragons. Let's drive my car away." The car had already arrived in front of the Tang Mansion. Ye Qinghong stopped the car, pushed open the car door and walked down.

Luo Lie also got out of the car and took the key from Ye Qinghong's hand.

Ye Qinghong said: "In ten days, I will go to Peking to find you, which is next month's fifth. We will temporarily meet at the Three Holy Temple of Zhengjue Temple near the Old Summer Palace at 9:00 a.m.."

"So long?"

Ye Qinghong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Luo Lie was definitely not because he could not see him ten days apart. He was most likely in a hurry to help him solve the problem as soon as possible, but he made his promise to him so that he could break his grudges with him and forget them in the world. She whispered: "I have some things to deal with, and you also need some time to settle Fang Kewen's family."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Go in, it's late at night!"

Ye Qinghong nodded, wanting to remind Luo Lie not to cause unnecessary trouble, but the words finally gave up the idea. She also had some understanding of Luo Lie. With his personality and temperament, it was useless to say it herself.

Luo Lie watched Ye Qinghong walk into the Tang Mansion until the gate of the Tang Mansion was closed. He turned around and drove back along the original road. When he was halfway through, he found a motorcycle turning out of the alley and followed him all the way. Luo Lie slowed down the speed, but the motorcycle accelerated, rushed up from this side of Luo Lie, and drove along with him.

Ryoko Songxue was wearing a black leather jacket. Her skin was better than snow in the night, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she looked at Luo Lie in the car with a smile.

Luo Lie stopped the car on the side of the road, and Ryoko Songxue parked the motorcycle in front of his car, but did not turn off the engine.

The two walked over and stood face to face at about one meter away from each other. Luo Lie looked at Songxue Ryoko's pretty face, and smiled and said, "Mrs. Fang came to me so late, and wasn't afraid of gossiping?" He thought that after the two sides of the Renci Hospital reached a consensus, they could temporarily not violate the water with Songxue Ryoko, but unexpectedly, she was still in dispersed and came to him again.

Songxue Ryoko raised her head, her charming eyes lingered on Luo Lie's handsome face, and Yingying smiled and said, "Fang Kangwei doesn't dare to care about me, do you want to care about me?"

Luo Lie said: "I keep my distance from my wife. It is best for everyone to avoid water from the river."

Ryoko Matsuyuki sighed softly and said, "I'm not here to come to cause trouble for you, I just want to talk to you about the past."

Luo Lie raised his sword eyebrows. He didn't think there was such a friendship between them, let alone such a need.

Ryoko Matsuyuki said, "Do you think you have great skills and can save the little Taohong and her daughter so easily? We don't even have a slight countermeasure?"

Luo Lie felt alert and calm as usual: "I don't understand what my wife means."

Ryoko Matsuyuki said: "When we catch hostages, in order to prevent being rescued from the middle of the journey, we usually incorporate chronic poison into their diet. Such preventive measures can ensure that even if the hostages are rescued, they will die of poisoning in more than ten days."

Luo Lie was shocked. If what Ryoko Matsuyuki said was true, then the methods of these Japanese people were really vicious, but it could not rule out that she deliberately exaggerated.

Ryoko Matsuyuki said, "I'm waiting for you in the Kikushiya in front." After saying that, she turned around and turned on the motorcycle, increased the accelerator, and drove forward like lightning. In an instant, her figure disappeared into the night.

Luo Lie stood there and hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go to Kikuto House. Ryoko Matsuxue and him had reached an agreement at Renci Hospital. Logically speaking, Ryoko Matsuxue would not go back on her word and destroy the tacit understanding they had reached.

Luo Lie drove to the Kikumi House located in the Japanese Concession. A series of lanterns as signs swayed gently in the night breeze, which looked extremely eye-catching under the warm lights.

Luo Lie parked the car, and an old Japanese woman in a gray kimono and with crescent hair and a young face bowed to him and made an invitation gesture.

After Luo Lie returned the greeting, he lifted the curtain and walked into it, took off his leather shoes, and walked onto the tatami. A melodious sound of flute came from inside. The sound of flute was clearly leading him. Luo Lie followed the sound of the flute to the room where the flute sound came from. The sound of the flute inside turned from strong to weak, gradually stopping, and the voice of Ryoko Songxue came from the room: "Mr. Luo, please come in!"
