Catch the wind

Gu Xiongfei traveled all over the British Concession, and finally found Mr. Hardy.The two sides met and talked in a few words. Mr. Hardy did not show a serious look, but his face was full of doubts: "Zi Ling sold the house? It's strange, why not! Could it be that he has gone away?"

Gu Xiongfei thought Mr. Hardy's reaction was normal.It was enough to worry about Mr. Hardy just because his friend was missing.Turning to ask about the previous incident, he wanted to know how Ye Xueshan's business failed.Mr. Hardy immediately had something to say, and he talked endlessly from the beginning to the end. Of course, Lin Zisen was not included in it, because Lin Zisen poached the company's corners after the next year, which made him have to look for a buddy everywhere, which was really annoying.

Gu Xiongfei listened attentively, he never expected that Ye Xueshan's life was like a book, with ups and downs and twists and turns.Ye Xueshan had always reported good news to him but not bad news, this was the first time he found that he knew nothing about Ye Xueshan.

He carefully wrote down Lin Zisen's actions, and at the end he asked, "When did Ziling drive Lin Zisen away?"

Mr. Hardy recalled: "It seems to be the end of last year."

Gu Xiongfei chased after him again: "If you say you want to drive away, will you drive away?"

Mr. Hardy shrugged his shoulders: "He disappeared overnight. Ziling said he stole a lot of tobacco..." Mr. Hardy raised his eyebrows again, with a look of disdain on his face of mixed blood: "Chinese man, very Bad, dishonest."

Mr. Hardy has both yellow and white blood. On the one hand, he is looked down upon by white people, and on the other hand, he looks down on yellow people.Gu Xiongfei went with what he said, his heart was just in a state of chaos.He thought it was a pity that he didn't know the gangsters on the streets of Tianjin, otherwise it might be easier to start.With a sudden movement in his heart, he asked Mr. Hardy: "I remember that there is also a Mr. Jin among the partners."

Mr. Hardy replied: "Mr. Jin offended a Chinese general and fled somewhere. Like Ziling, he is almost missing."

Gu Xiongfei questioned Mr. Hardy all the way, and finally Mr. Hardy couldn't say anything, so he reluctantly left.Mr. Hardy seemed to be less humane, but Gu Xiongfei had a comfortable conversation with him, probably because he was frightened by Lin Zisen in the afternoon.

It was getting dark, Gu Xiongfei couldn't do anything else, so he could only go back to his residence to sleep.He got into bed and tossed and turned, thinking where is the monkey sleeping at the moment?Did he run away, or was he tied up?

Gu Xiongfei is not a sentimental person, he has nothing on his mind all year round.Now his heart is sinking, he can't turn over and can't breathe.He stayed up until the early morning with ups and downs, and he closed his eyes in the hazy sky.It seemed that he hadn't slept for a long time. In his dream, he suddenly encountered a stormy sea and opened his eyes suddenly, but an adjutant was shaking him.As soon as he sat up straight, he frowned and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

The adjutant was full of panic: "The general just called and said that the Japanese army attacked Shenyang last night!"

Gu Xiongfei was puzzled: "Attack Shenyang?"

Immediately he reacted, and without waiting for the adjutant to elaborate, he jumped to the ground.In a hurry to wash and put on clothes, he drove straight to Shen's mansion.As a result, in the smoke room of Shen Mansion, he saw General Shen sitting beside the smoke couch.

General Shen's old face was gloomy, every wrinkle seemed to be carved out by a knife.The eldest young master stood on the ground, also bowed his head and remained silent.Gu Xiongfei strode in with a cool breeze, causing General Shen to raise his eyelids, and sighed: "I just received an urgent telegram, and the Japanese army has completely occupied Shenyang City."

Gu Xiongfei didn't say a word, just stared at General Shen - General Shen's headquarters is located in Shenyang.

It is rare for General Shen to say that he did not smoke opium when he was down to business.Standing up with his hands on his knees, he continued: "Huludao is still safe now, but if you don't resist, who knows how long it will be safe?"

Looking up at the two people in front, General Shen said in a low voice: "Boss, you are in charge of affairs at home; Xiongfei, you go to Beiping with me. The headquarters has fallen, we have to ask the higher authorities to re-establish the organization."

The young master knew that he was mediocre and could only manage the family, so he agreed politely; when Gu Xiongfei heard this, he was anxious: "Uncle, I can't leave Tianjin."

General Shen didn't see him, and stared at him directly, asking him, "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Xiongfei reluctantly told the truth: "My third brother in Tianjin is missing, I have to find him!"

General Shen was taken aback: "What third brother? How can you have a third brother?"

Gu Xiongfei lowered his head: "That's when my father...had a small mansion..."

General Shen waved his hand impatiently: "I understand! I just ask you, family affairs and state affairs, which one is important?"

Gu Xiongfei stood tall and tall in front of General Shen, and hesitantly replied: "State affairs are important. But..."

General Shen raised a slap and slapped Gu Xiongfei with a strong wind.He only heard a crisp sound of "snap", and he roared furiously: "You bastard! I'm going to smack you for your father today! You can find something that your father doesn't even recognize? The Navy Command is gone. , are you still thinking about that messy thing in your family? You have grown so big for nothing, I think you are just tall and careless!" Then he waved out together with people and hands, expressing anger in a concise and concise way. Said: "Go!"

Gu Xiongfei hadn't received a slap in the face for many years, and at this moment he was caught off guard by General Shen's slap, he didn't feel much pain, but his ears were buzzing, and half of his face was burning hot.General Shen watched him grow up, so he is qualified to beat him; he turned around and followed General Shen's pace, he admitted that his uncle was right, but what about Ye Xueshan?

Ye Xueshan has no relatives, if he doesn't care about him, he can only fend for himself.

General Shen was anxious and angry, almost on fire; it happened that Gu Xiongfei hit the gunpoint, and he was a nephew, so he had a target, scolding all the way, scolding his son as usual, now scolding Gu Xiongfei.Urgent telegrams were being sent in and out. The naval headquarters' factories were being destroyed by the Japanese army. A large number of warships were still moored near Huludao, Liaoning. The situation was extremely critical. General Shen couldn't wait for a moment.

Under the overwhelming curse, Gu Xiongfei got into the car and sat next to General Shen, knowing that he had no choice.

He thought that he had actually treated Ye Xueshan badly all along.Once the two met back then, I would definitely speak ill at each other; if there were no good words, it would be fine, and the other party was obviously unwilling, and I used banknotes as bait, forcing the other party to "play" with me time and time again.Later, the two sides reconciled with great difficulty, but he was not at home as an adult.I see each other occasionally a few times a year, and it's still just for fun, and we have a happy fight, and I don't know what the other party is doing or thinking; I don't know, and I don't ask.

Now I want to ask, but I can't ask.

When Gu Xiongfei left Tianjin, Ye Xueshan woke up leisurely.

He opened his eyes in Lin Zisen's arms.Lin Zisen smiled and looked down at him, and he also looked straight at Lin Zisen.His mind gradually revived, and his memories gradually emerged. He suddenly yelled and struggled to his feet, and ran towards the window in a stumbling manner—then, he found that there was no window in the room.

His legs softened and he fell to the ground, he understood in his heart, turned his head and crawled towards the door again.Crawling and crawling, he couldn't move anymore, he slapped the ground angrily, and cried without warning.He knew that Gu Xiongfei had come and left again.

Lin Zisen walked over and squatted down, dragged Ye Xueshan up and hugged him.Wiping his tears with a flick of his sleeve, Lin Zisen pointed at the threshold: "Master, the uncle was standing at the door yesterday."

Then he pointed to the room again: "You are in the box against the wall."

He straightened Ye Xueshan's messy hair with his fingers: "You said how close you were at that time!"

Then he laughed again: "I said the box was filled with cigarettes, but he still didn't believe it, so he insisted on opening a box to have a look. There were ten boxes of cigarettes and soil in the room, and the uncle was unlucky, so he opened a box of cigarettes and soil."

Ye Xueshan twitched all over from crying, and stood up and down in Lin Zisen's arms.Gu Xiongfei might as well not come, if he doesn't come, he doesn't want to, he doesn't want to.After living so long without sky and sun, since the future is still dark, why should there be a glimmer of light for him to see?He had seen the light, and the darkness was still darker.

Lin Zisen surrounded Ye Xueshan's emaciated body with his arms to form a big cradle.Ye Xueshan was crying so hard that he really looked crazy.

Lin Zisen swayed gently from side to side, as if a good-natured father was coaxing the child.Ye Xueshan cried miserably, wailing with a straight voice, just like a child crying.

Lin Zisen listened for a long time, with tears in his eyes.He knew that he was too much of a sinner, but what he wanted in the rest of his life was some flesh and blood of the Ye family.If he gets it, he will be satisfied; if he doesn't get it, he will die with regret.
