Chapter 507: Tomb Keeper(1/2)
Ye Qinghong and Sparrow stood side by side in the distance and looked at Luo Lie's back. Sparrow said, "Why don't you have a good chat with him?"
Ye Qinghong laughed: "When he wants to say it, he will naturally say it himself. If he doesn't say it, I will never ask."
Sparrow said: "Don't you want to know where he has been in the past few years? What exactly happened?"
Ye Qinghong asked back: "Is it important?"
The sparrow was stunned and said, "Don't you care?"
Ye Qinghong said: "I thought about whether he could come back safely over the years. Although I always believed it, my beliefs have also been shaken. I was worried that something happened to him and that he would never come back. Now, he returned to me safely. Although he lost a little weight, he returned safely after all." She said comfortingly: "God is not bad to us. I believe in him. No matter what happens, I will love him like before. Now it will not change, and never change."
The sparrow sighed sincerely: "I finally know why he likes you so much."
After leaving the Pale Mountain, Luo Lie did not choose to return to Huangpu directly. He went to Yingkou first. As Uncle Fu's closed disciple, he should go to pay his condolences.
Uncle Fu has been buried, and his grave is in the cemetery northwest of the Nanman Library. Zhang Changgong did not accompany him because there was something to do on Dongshan Island, but went directly to Fengtian and took a bus south through Fengtian. Tiewa also left with them, leaving only Luo Lie and the sparrows in Yingkou. However, the separation will not last long. Several people agreed that on May Dragon Boat Festival, they all went to Yuhang to meet.
Uncle Fu’s grave is very ordinary, with his birthday and death date engraved on the tombstone. There is no photo. The person who erected the monument for Uncle Fu was Liu Honggen of the Manchurian branch of the Thieves.
Luo Lie's family placed the sacrifice on the ground and knelt down in front of Uncle Fu's tomb. Luo Lie said, "Master, my disciple is unfilial and I can't send you to you. I'm back. I'll take my wife and children to kowtow to you." The family respectfully kowtowed to Uncle Fu.
The sparrow also had beautiful eyes and tears. When the Luo Lie family finished worshiping, she worshiped alone again.
Luo Lie said to Ye Qinghong: "I plan to stay here for a few days."
Ye Qinghong nodded. She knew that Luo Lie had always valued affection and friendship. He was Uncle Fu's closed disciple. Uncle Fu cared for him very much. As a disciple, he should be filial to his master. Ye Qinghong said: "It's nothing anyway, so we can stay for a few more days."
She told Maju about Luo Lie's thoughts, and Maju said, "I want to go back as soon as possible. Yufei is still in Huangpu, and I am worried that she can't handle it alone."
Ye Qinghong said: "You don't have to worry about this, she will not be in danger for the time being." She was very sure of this. Monpero had a handle and was caught by her. The reason why Cheng Yufei was able to survive in a desperate situation was that she threatened Monpero and forced Monpero to come forward.
Going back to Huangpu to help Cheng Yufei is actually just one of the reasons why she is the main reason for the sparrow. She thinks that Luo Lie's family is reunited, and she is always not the case with her. She feels that she is redundant, so she is eager to leave. She smiled and said, "Chen Haodong is sinister, and there is also Bai Yunfei hiding in the dark. At least Yufei and I can be a companion."
Ye Qinghong said: "We will also return to Huangpu as soon as possible. Yufei's affairs are ours, and we will definitely not sit idly by."
The sparrow nodded and said, "Your family finally got together and have a few days of peace and happiness. Don't worry about other things for the time being."
Ye Qinghong said: "You tell Yu Fei for me to tell her not to act rashly in everything. Luo Lie is back and will deal with anything when he returns. Don't make any statement about this matter."
The sparrow smiled and said, "I understand, don't worry."
Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong looked side by side at the sparrow's back as they walked away. Ye Qinghong said, "She is really good to you."
Luo Lie said: "What? Are you jealous?"
Ye Qinghong held his arm and said, "Do you think I'm a jealous person? Think about it, I don't mind you marry an extra wife."
Luo Lie said: "According to it!" He suddenly raised his hand and shot a stone into the distance. The stone shot onto a tombstone, then ejected to the right, bounced on another tombstone again, reflecting to the back of the previous tombstone.
A scream came from behind the tombstone, and an old man covered his head and escaped from behind the tombstone.
Ye Qinghong blocked Ping'an, afraid that there would be ambush around him, but according to the situation, only the old man was the only one. Luo Lie recognized the old man and said in surprise: "Old Qin!" Old Qin was the handlebar in the Nanman Library and was also an old friend of Uncle Fu. Of course, he had another identity, that is, the person in the thief. There were not many people who knew that Old Qin's real identity, and Luo Lie was one of them.
Old Qin covered his head with pain and grinned, thanks to Luo Lie's mercy when he failed to figure out the target. Old Qin cried out: "Sect... Sect Master... Your meeting gift is so heavy."
Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "You are hiding behind the tombstone sneakily, and it's good that you don't shoot you."
Lao Qin came to Luo Lie with a big bag on his head to greet him. Luo Lie said, "Are you alone?"
Old Qin sighed and said, "The tea is cold when people leave, but now people are very snobbish." He looked at Luo Lie and said, "Sect Master, you have been here for a long time."
Luo Lie smiled, not ready to explain to him. He whispered: "Is my master still safe?"
Lao Qin looked around and said, "This is not a place to speak."
Luo Lie's family followed Lao Qintou to the small house next to the cemetery. It turned out that Lao Qintou had become the tombkeeper here. Lao Qintou asked Luo Lie to sit down and then cook water and make tea. Ye Qinghong asked him to talk to Luo Lie, and she went to do these things.
Old Qin said: "The elder's funeral was paid by Master Liu." The one he mentioned was Liu Honggen, the Manchurian branch rudder.
Luo Lie thought to himself that Liu Honggen is still a person who values friendship.
Lao Qintou said: "The elder repeatedly stated that the funeral must be low-key, so he didn't invite anything. It was Liu Duozhu who insisted on holding it, but no one came on the day of the funeral."
Luo Lie also expressed his understanding of this. Although the world is in a bad state, Fu Bo has faded out for many years despite his high respect.
Old Qin said, "Even Chang Chai and Liu Honggen did not come."
Chang Chai was promoted by Uncle Fu. It can be said that Uncle Fu was as kind as a mountain to him. It was indeed unreasonable that he would not come. It was even more strange that Liu Honggen would not come. He was the leader of the Manchurian branch, and this place belonged to his sphere of influence. Moreover, Uncle Fu's funeral was still something he wanted to hold, and it was a bit strange that he did not even show up. Luo Lie vaguely felt that this matter was not that simple, and there might be other mystery in it.
Old Qin said, "I heard that Liu Honggen was arrested."
Luo Liedao: "Are you arrested?" No wonder Liu Honggen did not appear at the funeral.
Old Qintou said again: "Chang Chai is missing."
Luo Lie nodded. He heard about some stolen sects and couldn't help but think of Chen Haodong's appearance in Huangpu. Is all this related to Chen Haodong? Luo Lie said: "Is my master safe to walk?"
Old Qin hesitated for a moment. At this time, Ye Qinghong made tea and brought it over. Old Qin stood up and thanked him repeatedly. Ye Qinghong said, "You guys are chatting, I'll take my son out for a walk."
After Ye Qinghong left, Old Qintou said: "Actually, there is something I always feel strange. A few days before the elder passed away, he was in good health, but he suddenly died."
Luo Lie said: "You suspect that my master died naturally?"
Lao Qin said, "I said that, but there is no evidence."
Luo Liedao: "Has an autopsy been performed?"
Old Qin said, "That's not good. Everyone is dead. How can you mess with his body? That's a great disrespect to the elder."
Luo Lie said: "It is a great disrespect to him that my master will die with his eyes open."
Lao Qintou said: "You mean..."
Luo Liedao: "Open the coffin and examine the autopsy!"
The facts prove that Lao Qin's speculation was not unreasonable. The autopsy showed that Fu Bo died of poisoning. This poison did not come from the country, but was the secret system of the Japanese Tyrannosaurus Society. It seems that it is impossible to confirm that Fu Bo died at the hands of the Japanese side based on this point alone. The person who hated Fu Bo the most in the world should be Chen Haodong. It was because Fu Bo accepted Luo Lie as his disciple and strongly recommended Luo Lie to become the leader of the thief.
Since Luo Lie learned about what happened in Huangpu, he began to suspect that Uncle Fu's death was not that simple. After the autopsy, it was confirmed that Uncle Fu died in a carefully planned murder.
Yingkou is now completely controlled by the Japanese forces. Luo Lie has been busy with autopsy these two days. Today, he just cremated the body of Uncle Fu's body and buried it again. Everything is going on very secretly. In fact, no one has paid too much attention to the dead elder after Uncle Fu's death.
When Luo Lie returned to the hotel, it was already dark, and there were firecrackers crackling outside. Xiao Ping'an was clamoring to go out to make lanterns. When he saw his father coming back, he went up to him and said with grievances: "Dad, I want to go out to see the lanterns, but Mommy doesn't let me go."
Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "This kid actually learned to sue." She was considering her son's safety. Yingkou was controlled by the Japanese forces. Recently, there have been many incidents of assassinating Japanese officers. The Japanese side has strengthened martial law and the atmosphere seems very tense. Besides, Luo Lie has not come back yet.
Luo Lie said: "It's Lantern Festival today, and it's quite lively outside."
Ye Qinghong said: "Then let's take him out for a walk, this kid is so suffocated." She and Ping'an have been staying in the hotel for most of the time these days.
Luo Lie nodded and said, "It's a bit snowy, wear thicker."
Ye Qinghong added a coat to his son, and the family went out. Because it was the Lantern Festival, there were many people on the streets who came out to turn on the Lantern Festival. Northerners do not pay attention to the Lantern Festival as much as in the south, but people can also see people going out to play everywhere. In order to ease the atmosphere with the local people, the Japanese specially held a lantern exhibition near Laolongtou. Of course, the lanterns were made by local craftsmen in Yingkou. The people also gathered here with their children on their own handmade lanterns. Because of this festival, a long-lost smile appeared on their faces.
Children all like to be lively. Xiao Ping'an held his parents' hands and played in the lamp market, and laughed happily. Luo Lie bought him a candied haw. Xiao Ping'an first took a bite for his mother and handed it to his father.
Luo Lie knew how to be filial at such a young age and said to Ye Qinghong: "Thank you for your hard work during this period of time when I was not here."
Ye Qinghong said: "I will be kind to me when I know I have worked hard and I won't leave again."
Luo Lie smiled and nodded, "I promise, but..."
Ye Qinghong said, "But what?" She felt something in Luo Lie's words.
Luo Lie said: "You can't just forget about your affairs. I plan to thoroughly investigate this matter."
Ye Qinghong had actually guessed that he would avenge Uncle Fu, and sighed softly: "One day he will be a teacher and a father for life. Of course, we cannot stand by and watch his affairs. But after this matter, I don't want you to ask about the right and wrong in the world again."
Luo Lie nodded and said, "I promise you."
Ye Qinghong smiled gently and held his arm. The two followed their son and continued to walk forward. Luo Lie said: "The situation in the country is getting more and more tense. I want you to take Ping An back to Europe first."
Ye Qinghong said, "What? I drove me away just after meeting him? I thought we were both annoyed, right?" Of course she knew that Luo Lie didn't mean that.
Luo Lie said: "The news of my return will spread soon. I am worried that those who have ulterior motives will make you think."
Ye Qinghong said: "I'm not afraid!"
Luo Lie said: "Anyway, I promise you that after the matter here is handled, I will go to Europe to reunite with you immediately."
Before Ye Qinghong could express his opinion, an explosion suddenly came from a distance. A car exploded not far from Lao Longtou. For a moment, the fires soared into the sky, and the scene suddenly became a mess. The people watching the lights were frightened by the sudden explosion and fled everywhere.
Luo Lie hurriedly picked up his son and protected Ye Qinghong. They also left with the crowd. Before they walked too far, they saw more than ten cars coming with the military police. They returned to the hotel before the military police blocked the scene.
After this storm, Xiao Ping'an was still frightened and had a fever at night. Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong also stayed up all night in order to take care of their son.
Ye Qinghong had just fallen asleep when it was dawn, but after sleeping for a while, she was awakened by the military police who came to check the rounds. After Luo Lie sent the military police away, he saw Ye Qinghong being woken up, and he smiled and said, "Go to sleep for a while, I didn't close my eyes all night last night."
Ye Qinghong said, "You are not the same?" She went to see her son. His son had already subsided, but he was still sleeping soundly.
Luo Lie said: "Pingan is fine. I just took his temperature and it has returned to normal."
Ye Qinghong said: "The whole Manchuria is not peaceful, the Japanese forces are constantly infiltrating, and the people are spontaneously resisting the invasion. The two warlords, Zhang Lingfeng and Xu Beishan, dare not stand up at all."
Luo Liedao: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, and ordinary people are much more bloody than these warlords."
Ye Qinghong said: "But the power of the people is too weak after all."
Luo Lie said: "Don't ignore the power of the people. It is the people themselves who can drive the invaders out in the end."
Ye Qinghong said: "Tell me about the future, so I feel better."
Luo Liedao: "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."
Ye Qinghong said: "Do you keep it secret from me?"
