Chapter 501 Black Tiger(1/2)
Tiewa is already a burly man. He got married the same year before yesterday and spent a pair of twin boys last year. He was originally in Huangpu, but he was not used to the climate in the south. After getting married, he simply returned to Fengtian. There is a wooden factory by Luo Lie. According to Ye Qinghong's intention, he should have resold the coffin shop as soon as possible. But Luo Lie believed that this was the Luo family's property after all, so he kept it. After Luo Lie disappeared, Ye Qinghong was even more lazy to ask about the matter here.
When Tiewa got married, Ye Qinghong handed over all the property here to him for management.
Ye Qinghong's sudden arrival made Tiewa overjoyed. He only received a telegram from his master two days ago. After the matter was temporarily settled, Zhang Changgong asked about Tiewa's situation. In fact, Zhang Changgong also had the idea of looking back at Manchu.
Tiewa didn't know that Ye Qinghong had not met anyone else when she arrived in Huangpu. He invited Ye Qinghong and his son to the house, and asked the wife to hold a pair of twins for Ye Qinghong to see.
Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that the iron dolls would have dolls."
Tiewa blushed and said, "Aunt, I'm 25 years old this year."
Ye Qinghong sighed: "Time flies, and so many years have passed without realizing it, and I am old." She has also passed her thirties. Although her face is not old, she is already exhausted.
Tiewa said: "Auntie, you are not old. By the way, does my Uncle Luo have any news?"
Ye Qinghong shook her head. If someone mentioned this in the past, Ye Qinghong would definitely be unhappy, but because of the hope brought by Ping An, she felt much better.
Xiao Ping'an teased two identical little dolls on the side. He stared at them for a long time before he could see the difference between the two dolls. He ran over happily and said, "Mommy, two younger brothers, one dimples on the left and the other on the right."
Tiewa was also happy: "Brother Ping'an, you should call them nephews, you are their uncle."
Ping'an scratched his head, feeling quite puzzled.
Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "This child has no idea about seniority."
Tiewa said: "I know when I get older."
Ye Qinghong said: "Tiewa, I have a few words I want to tell you alone."
Tiewa responded and followed Ye Qinghong to the yard. Although the name of Luoshi Wood Factory is still a wooden factory, it no longer makes coffins, and there is a lot of wood piled up in the yard.
Ye Qinghong said: "I remember you are a native of Pale Mountain."
Tiewa said: "Yes, I used to live in Yangjiatun, between Erdaoling and Heihuling. The village was burned out by the bandits from Feiying Castle. It was Uncle Luo and my master who saved me."
Ye Qinghong was about to express her thoughts, but at this time, the crying of the child came from the room. Tiewa's wife asked him to go back and help. Ye Qinghong looked at Tiewa's figure who hurried back and gave up the idea. Tiewa's two children were still young, and now it was time to celebrate the New Year again. It would be a bit unkind to let Tiewa be a guide for him.
Tiewa came back soon, and he smiled and explained to Ye Qinghong: "The two dolls are very annoyed, and changing diapers at the same time, my wife can't be busy alone."
Ye Qinghong said: "Why don't you hire a nanny to take care of him?"
Tiewa said, "Auntie, I am not used to that from a poor family." He remembered that Ye Qinghong had not finished speaking just now and asked, "Auntie, what did you want to say just now?"
Ye Qinghong smiled indifferently and said, "It's nothing, I'm just here to see you. Also, I should celebrate the New Year in Fengtian."
"That's good. My master said he might come back, but he said he would decide on the situation in Huangpu."
Ye Qinghong reminded: "I have never told anyone that I have come here this time, don't mention the matter between us and my mother."
Tiewa said: "Don't worry, I keep it secret."
Ye Qinghong finally decided to take Ping An to Pai Baishan Mountain herself. She couldn't bear to let Tiewa leave at this time. She had already tasted the pain of separation from her relatives. She didn't expect Tiewa's family to be like her, although she was just a temporary separation.
Ye Qinghong took Ping An to stay in Fengtian for a night. Although she had a villa here, she did not choose to go for safety reasons. Besides, the villa has been uninhabited for a long time.
The next morning, Ye Qinghong and her son went to the villa garage to pick up the car. The vehicle had been idle for too long. Ye Qinghong spent half an hour to start and spent another whole morning to maintain it. She was wearing coarse cloth clothes and pants, and her body was covered with oil.
Xiaoping was helping happily, and the round little face was covered with a lot of oil.
Ye Qinghong looked at her son and laughed. She had not smiled as much as the past three years, because she finally saw hope.
Ye Qinghong started the car again, and she put all the weapons and luggage she had prepared in the car. After Luo Lie left for three years, she became more independent and self-reliant. She didn't need to pretend to be anyone, and her son was with her.
When Ye Qinghong drove out, she saw a tall and burly figure standing outside the door. Tiewa was wearing a cotton coat and carrying a bedding roll behind her back. She stood against the light, showing Ye Qinghong a simple and cheerful smile: "Aunt, where are you going? Do you want me to lead you?"
Ye Qinghong was about to refuse, but Tiewa had already opened the car door and sat in the back seat. He squeezed his eyes at Xiao Ping'an and said, "Can you go with you?"
Xiao Ping'an happily clapped his hands and said, "Okay, of course!"
Ye Qinghong said: "You are not honest at home with your wife and children, why are you going out with us?"
Tiewa said, "Aunt, when you went there yesterday, I knew you were looking for me, but you didn't say it later. I thought that if it wasn't an important thing, you would definitely not come to me, so I told my wife, "Although my wife has no knowledge, she is reasonable. She said, as long as you encounter something, I can leave at any time."
Ye Qinghong felt warm in her heart, and she said to Tiewa: "You have two children in your family."
Tiewa said: "I asked my parents-in-law to help take care of me. Aunt, you asked me about Pangbai Mountain yesterday. Are you planning to go to Pangbai Mountain?"
Ye Qinghong laughed, and her purpose was indeed seen through by this kid. She nodded and said, "Yes!"
Tiewa said: "The New Year is coming, why do you choose this time to go?"
Ye Qinghong did not answer immediately: "Guess!"
Tiewa said: "Go to Tianfu Inn, Majiatun?" In his opinion, Ye Qinghong might have taken Xiao Ping'an to the place where their family celebrated the New Year together back then.
Ye Qinghong said: "Maybe it will pass by."
Tiewa said in surprise: "Aunt, do you know that the mountains are covered with heavy snow in this season. If you want to enter the mountains, you usually have to wait until spring is warm and the flowers are blooming and the ice and snow melt. Ping An is still so small. Are you planning to take him into the mountains?"
Ye Qinghong was indeed reluctant to let Xiao Ping'an suffer, but Xiao Ping'an was the only one who could feel Luo Lie's information. If Xiao Ping'an was left to others for care, she might miss the important information, let alone she would not be assured to hand it over to others.
Ye Qinghong said: "Tiewa, I won't hide it from you. Your Uncle Luo is probably in Pale Mountain."
Tiewa was excited when he heard this news. He respected his master Zhang Changgong in his heart, but admired Luo Lie. It can be said that Luo Lie is his idol. His voice trembled: "Aunt, then go, but when you arrive at Majiatun, you and Ping'an will stay there. I will enter the mountain alone. As long as you tell me the location, I will guarantee to find my Uncle Luo back."
Ye Qinghong did not tell Tiewa all the truth, and she whispered: "It's just possible, don't hold too much hope."
Tiewa said: "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will go. Aunt, let's go now."
Thinking that when he entered the mountain, he might not be able to return before the New Year, Tiewa asked Ye Qinghong to stop when he drove past his doorstep and went to a separate meeting with his wife. After all, he had to explain it for so long.
Ye Qinghong felt a little guilty, always thinking that it was wrong for him to let Tiewa leave home at this time, but when he thought about entering the snowy Pale Mountain, if Tiewa had not led the way, the mother and son alone would probably be very dangerous. Perhaps before they could find Luo Lie, they would be lost in the Pale Mountain.
When talking about his familiarity with the Pale Mountain, he was the only one who counted Tiewa except Zhang Changgong.
Tiewa also suggested that he should tell Zhang Changgong about this matter. After all, one more person and one more helper, but Ye Qinghong still insisted on not making any statement about this matter. After all, there is no definite news yet, and perhaps they have nothing to do with this trip.
Ye Qinghong drove to Baishan that day. The weather was beautiful and the weather was sunny all the way. Although the road was frozen, Ye Qinghong's skillful driving skills were more than enough to deal with the ice and snowy road surfaces.
Tiewa proposed to take a day off in Baishan. Although Ye Qinghong thought he had made sufficient preparations, in Tiewa's opinion, it was not enough to enter the mountain. He could no longer drive forward in the next journey and needed to purchase new equipment.
Tiewa went to the market to buy two elks and sledges, which could come in handy when walking in Xueye.
The bandits in Cangbai Mountain have been much better recently. Since the Qinglong Yue Guangqing and Huang Guangming and others killed Liulilang Zheng Qianchuan, the bandits in Langya Village have also been strictly ordered not to disturb the people around them. The Japanese invaders in Manchuria are rampant, and Yue Guangqing led the subordinates of Langya Village to fight against Japan in recent years, which has caused great headaches for the Japanese.
They robbed Japanese arms and supplies and used the snatched food and daily necessities to help the people around them. Therefore, the reputation of Langya Village, which in the past scared the people around them, gradually began to reverse.
Ye Qinghong still knew about the situation in Manchuria. In the past, Xu Tieshan of the South Manchuria was pro-Japanese, and Zhang Tongwu of the North Manchuria was pro-Japanese. However, since Zhang Tongwu was killed, Zhang Lingfeng accepted military power, and the North Manchuria lost its bloodiness. It is said that Zhang Tongwu was assassinated by the Japanese side. Afterwards, Zhang Lingfeng did publicly express his desire to avenge his father, fight against Japan to the death, and protect the people, but as time went by, he seemed to have forgotten the deep blood hatred he had. Not only did he not break with the Japanese side, but his relationship with the Japanese side became unprecedentedly harmonious.
As Japan's invasion of Manchuria continued to deepen, the two major warlords refused to fight head-on. In comparison, the bandits who used to make a living by robbery and plagued the people everywhere became the main force of anti-Japanese war. They used their familiarity with the terrain around Pale Mountain to launch guerrilla warfare with the Japanese aggressors.
The Japanese side was quite troubled by this. Several encirclements and suppression ended in failure. A large encirclement and suppression was planned a year ago, but because of the sudden change in weather this winter and heavy snow blocked the mountain, we had to give up. If we want to carry out the next encirclement and suppression, we have to wait until the ice and snow melt.
The next morning, under the leadership of Tiewa, the three of them advanced into the depths of the Pale Mountain under the pull of the elk.
According to Tiewa's meaning, they would be better off playing a stunning position in Majiatun, but Ye Qinghong believes that too many stops in the middle are likely to attract attention. After all, the less people pay attention, the safer it is.
Not long after entering the mountainous area, a heavy snow came unexpectedly. Ye Qinghong looked around and saw a vast white area everywhere. Without a compass guiding the direction, she could not tell the difference between east, west, south and north. Fortunately, Tiewa led the way, otherwise she might have lost her way.
Although it was snowing heavily, Tiewa did not ask to stop and hide from the wind and snow. This was Ye Qinghong's request. Xiao Ping'an was wrapped tightly. Not only was he not scared by the wind and snow, but he developed a strong interest in this rare adventure.
After walking in the wind and snow for two days and one night, and only rested in the abandoned logging farm for four hours in the middle, Tiewa took them to Yangjiatun.
Yangjiatun has mostly turned into scorched earth. When Tiewa was young, Yangjiatun was blood-slaughtered by bandits from Feiying Castle. Fortunately, Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong came here to save the lives of Tiewa and several old people. Now the old people have passed away.
Tiewa found a pretty complete house, made a fire, and helped Ye Qinghong get the equipment in. He found a house next to him and moved into it with a deer. Tiewa said to Ye Qinghong: "Aunt, you have a break today. The wind and snow will probably last for a few days. Let's go inside tomorrow depending on the situation."
Ye Qinghong handed the map to Tiewa and said, "Isn't it far from this place?"
Tiewa has actually looked at the map countless times. The place Ye Qinghong mentioned was where she and Luo Lie Xiao Caihong lived in seclusion back then. It was less than twenty miles away from Yangjiatun. But now the mountains were blocked with heavy snow, and many roads were completely broken. Tiewa asked her mother and her mother to rest here. The purpose of not wanting them to go to the wrong way. They went to explore the road by themselves, and chose a feasible road before continuing to set off.
Tiewa first went to the graves in the forest where his grandmother and fellow villagers were buried. Tiewa would come here every Qingming Festival. After burning paper to offer sacrifices, Tiewa took advantage of the dawn to explore the way.
After two days and one night of running around, Ye Qinghong was indeed a little tired. She held her son and sat by the fire and fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, she found that it was already dark outside and the fire was about to go out. Ye Qinghong hurriedly added firewood and rekindled the fire. However, she was not good at raising fires after all, which made the smoke roll. Both mother and mother were choked and coughed.
After finally getting the fire out, Ye Qinghong went out to call Tiewa and found that Tiewa had not come back yet, but the wind and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier. She couldn't help but worry, but she couldn't leave her child to find Tiewa. Besides, Tiewa is much more familiar with the surrounding environment than hers. Ye Qinghong first brought some food for the child. Seeing Ping An eating voraciously, she felt a little distressed: "Ping An, are you cold?"
Ping'an shook his head and said, "Mommy, I'm not cold, I'm in good health."
Ye Qinghong said: "Have you dreamed of anything?"
Ping'an shook his head: "I slept so well, I didn't dream."
Ye Qinghong was a little disappointed and thought to herself, maybe what was waiting for them this time was another disappointment. Because of a dream of her son, she ran to the deep mountains and forests in the wind and snow. Luo Lie, Luo Lie, do you know how hard I waited? I miss you so much? If you can feel that you will be back?
The blind man has been hiding everywhere in recent days. After Yu Fei was released, the police station seemed to have forgotten his affairs and obviously relaxed the search for the blind man. The blind man decided to leave Huangpu. Taking advantage of the night, he came to the train station. Compared with the strict security in the past, there were no signs of the police station now. The blind man saw Zhang Changgong in the waiting room. He first looked around vigilantly, then took out a cigarette, came to Zhang Changgong, pretending to be a fire.
Zhang Changgong couldn't help laughing when he saw the blind man wrapped in tightly like a cotton ball.
The blind man glared at him: "What a laugh?"
Zhang Changgong took out the matches and helped him light the cigarette. The blind man smoked a cigarette and whispered: "Where is the ticket?"
Zhang Changgong took out the ticket and handed it to him. The blind man looked at it and found that the ticket was not for Huadu. The starting station was right, but the terminal station was Fengtian. The original plan was that he would go to Huadu and take a boat to Xiangjiang and return to Nanyang from there. The blind man frowned and said, "Are you wrong? I'm going south!"
Zhang Changgong said: "That's right!"
The blind man said angrily: "Are you illiterate?"
Zhang Changgong said: "I received a telegram from Tiewa, and Ye Qinghong and his son went to Fengtian."
The blind man said, "They don't want to see us when they come to Huangpu. Why are we going to Fengtian to do it? Should we not see each other or not? Ye Qinghong is a very strong person, why should we make her unhappy?"
Zhang Changgong said: "After listening to me, she took the child to Fengtian to find Tiewa as a guide."
