Chapter 34: Fenghuos three-month letter from home is worth ten thousand gold
The disappearance of Tanarata was registered at the Japanese Military Headquarters in Fengtian. This old boy is the president of the Black Dragon Society. After Japan occupied Fengtian, if it wanted to annex the entire three northeastern provinces, it would need the intelligence cooperation of the Black Dragon Society. The Japanese Military Headquarters issued an order
All efforts must be made to rescue Tanarata.
All of a sudden, all the spies, traitors, and puppet troops in Fengtian were mobilized and launched a blanket search around Fengtian.
As a result, after two full days of searching, the bodies of Tanarata and the driver were finally found in the cornfield.
Now the Japanese military headquarters was furious and offered a reward of ten kilograms of gold for Gong Baosen's capture, while Qin Hao also offered a reward of one kilogram of gold.
There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Seeing the Japanese gaining power, many Jianghu people in the Northeast region were worried that they would not have the opportunity to express their loyalty to the Japanese. One after another, Jianghu people joined the ranks of tracking.
However, what these people did not expect was that Qin Hao and Gong Baosen did not go to Fuxin, Chengde, Jinzhou or Tangshan, but to Mongolia, which is vast and sparsely populated.
Just as these people from all walks of life were blocking the only road from Fengtian to the capital, Qin Hao and Gong Baosen were riding horses on the vast grassland of Inner Mongolia, detouring from Tongliao and Chifeng to Shijiazhuang to Beijing.
This road is extremely difficult to walk. In addition, Inner Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, and there are few opportunities to obtain supplies. The whole journey is more than a thousand kilometers. In later generations, driving only took more than ten hours, but Qin Hao and Gong Baosen took a full journey.
It took more than a month to arrive in Tianjin.
"Junior Brother, Senior Uncle, you are finally back." Xue Dian excitedly held their hands.
"Where have you been? Ever since we heard that the Japanese were offering a reward, we have been crazy anxious and sent many good people to pick you up, but there has been no news about you."
Gong Baosen looked at Qin Hao and said with a smile: "Thanks to this guy's cleverness, we rode all the way from Mongolia, otherwise we really don't know if we would have come back alive."
Gong Baosen is naturally not afraid of fighting with open swords and open guns, but he knows very well that there are always only these methods in the world. Some methods make it impossible for you to guard against. Even if you can't kill you, you will be highly stressed all day long and tired.
Tired you to death.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!" Xue Dian said and immediately asked someone to boil water for bathing for the two of them. In more than a month, Qin Hao and Gong Baosen had taken baths twice, once by the Liao River.
, once I encountered a heavy rainstorm and was completely drenched.
But generally speaking, the two of them didn't suffer much during the trip. After arriving in Inner Mongolia, they bought four good horses, one for riding and one for carrying a simple tent and supplies. When they were hungry, they shot yellow sheep on the grassland.
Roe deer and wild boars are eaten, but it’s a bit difficult at night, with a lot of mosquitoes.
After taking a bath, Qin Hao just came out of the room and saw a lot of people gathered around Gong Baosen's door. Apparently they were all martial arts people who knew he was back and came to see him. Qin Hao also didn't join in the fun and went to Ah Fu's place.
, had a wonderful meal.
"Master, these are the account books of the shop. I keep them year after year. Can you take a look?"
While Qin Hao was eating, Ah Fu was waiting beside him, pouring water and serving vegetables, and wiping tears from time to time.
"Okay, as I said last time, this shop already belongs to you. I came here this time to tell you something. The Japanese have captured Fengtian. In a few years, Jinmen will be destroyed.
There's no way to keep it. If you believe me, just sell the shop you own while it's still valuable and go to Chongqing, which will be relatively safer."
"Oh, what the young master said is definitely right. I'll find someone to look at the shop later." Ah Fu trusted Qin Hao as always.
Qin Hao looked at the little boy at the table who was looking longingly at the braised pig's trotters on the table, and smiled at him: "Is this your son?"
"There are no rules, why don't you kowtow to the young master." Ah Fu gently kicked the little boy on the butt. It was very light. It was obvious that he still loved his son very much.
Just as the little boy was about to kneel down, Qin Hao directly pulled him to sit next to him, then picked up the braised pig's trotter and stuffed it into his hand. The little boy immediately started to nibble on it, making his mouth full of oil.
Ah Fu couldn't help but scolded: "You are an unlucky thing. You eat it every day. Why do I treat you so badly? Come down here quickly."
"Okay, what do children know? Besides, it's the time to grow."
"This kid is also blessed. I couldn't even drink rice porridge when I was a kid, so how could he still eat meat..."
"Every generation has its own environment. If one generation is not as good as the last, what hope is there?"
"That's all thanks to the young master's kindness. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to marry a wife, so I wouldn't have the luxury to live like today."
"Look, you're here again. Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After eating and drinking, Qin Hao did not bother to rest, left a letter to Xue Dian, and started to rush to the south.
........
Foshan.
Wang Chao and Wang Kai were still practicing in the yard, and Wang Chao suddenly touched Wang Kai with his elbow.
"Hey, do you think Master can come back safely?"
Wang Kai glared at Wang Chao: "What nonsense are you talking about? You don't know what master is capable of. If he wants to leave, who can keep him?"
"But, I heard people say that the Japanese devils are so powerful. Even the Russian devils were beaten away by them. Although our master with foreign guns and artillery is powerful, he is still a mortal body. What if...
..."
Before Wang Chao could finish what he said, Wang Kai coughed twice and winked at him. When Wang Chao turned around, he realized that Gong Ruomei had come back at some point and quickly swallowed the rest of his words.
"Sister, are you back from school?"
Gong Ruomei didn't look good and ignored him and went straight back to the house.
Wang Chao looked at Wang Kai angrily, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"You..." Wang Kai rolled his eyes at him angrily.
During dinner, Gong Ruomei didn't move her chopsticks very much. Wang Kai asked carefully: "Sister, the food I cooked today is not to your taste?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, I just don't have any appetite, it's none of your business." Gong Ruomei shook her head.
When Wang Kai saw Wang Chao still wolfing down the food, he was so angry that he stepped on him with his foot. The latter looked at him in confusion, then looked at Gong Ruomei's appearance and quickly stopped what he was doing.
"Sister, don't worry. With Master's ability, those little devils can't keep him. Maybe Master will have finished his work by now and is on his way back to Foshan."
Facing the comfort from the two brothers, Gong Ruomei just squeezed out a forced smile. How could she not be worried? One was her father and the other was her...
It can be said that they are the two most important men to her in the world. If there is any accident, she will not be able to rest assured for the rest of her life.
At this moment, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open.
Young Master Ye changed his usual elegant and calm attitude and barged in with a telegram in his hand.
"There's news..."
Before Ye Wen could finish speaking, Gong Ruomei had jumped up from her chair and snatched the telegram from his hand.
There were only a few simple words in the telegram: Out of danger, no worries, arriving soon.
Holding the telegram, Gong Ruomei's tears couldn't stop flowing down. Letters from home in March were worth tens of thousands of dollars. In the past, when she read this poem in a book, she thought it was an exaggeration. Now she realizes that poetry is the most sincere expression of inner feelings.
.
After that, Gong Ruomei stopped going to class and waited at the train station every day until the last train of the day.
Finally, on the third day after receiving the telegram, Gong Ruomei finally saw that familiar figure.
"Senior brother."
At this moment, Gong Ruomei no longer suppressed her inner emotions and plunged into Qin Hao's arms.
"You are already a big girl, why are you still crying? It's a joke." Qin Hao gently wiped the tears from the corners of Gong Ruomei's eyes with his hand.
If it was normal, Gong Ruomei would have bounced away, but this time she didn't. She still hugged Qin Hao tightly with both hands, just burying her hot face into Qin Hao's chest, like an ostrich, avoiding the eyes of the people around her.
.
She was really afraid that this was a dream and that once she let go, she would never see Qin Hao again.
Ye Wen looked at this scene with a playful smile on his lips. His wife Zhang Yongcheng told him before that Gong Ruomei liked Qin Hao, but he still didn't believe it. He thought it was just the admiration of the strongest girl. Now it seems that he is
I really don’t understand women and I don’t understand emotions.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we go home. I haven't taken a shower for several days on this journey and my body stinks." Qin Hao gently patted Gong Ruomei's back.
Gong Ruomei sniffed and pursed her lips: "Then you promise, no matter what happens in the future, you will never leave me alone."
Qin Hao smiled and tapped her on the forehead, but this time Gong Ruomei was not as easy to fool as before, as if you don't agree, I won't let go.
"Okay, I swear."
"That's pretty much it."
All the way back home, Qin Haocai told everyone about his experience of this trip.
When Wang Chao and Wang Kai heard about their master's deeds, their chests felt as heroic as taking an admiral's head in the chaos of the army. They clapped their thighs and regretted that they had not experienced it personally.
Gong Ruomei held Qin Hao's sleeves tightly with both hands during the whole process. When she heard the tension, her nails pinched Qin Hao a little painfully.
"Has the situation in the Northeast deteriorated so much?" Ye Wen asked in surprise.
Qin Hao sighed: "The ambitions of the Japanese are not just limited to the three eastern provinces. I think within a few years, the entire north will fall. There will be no eggs left in the nest. I'm afraid Foshan will not be safe by then."
Ye Wen was shocked: "Is what Mr. Qin said a little exaggerated? Japan is only a small country, does it still want to swallow the elephant with its snake?"
Qin Hao shook his head. In fact, this was also the thought of most people during the Republic of China. Before the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, no one would think that Japan had the courage to fully invade China. However, the fact is that at this time, Japan was no longer the small country it was during the Wanli Period.
Already.
Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. Coupled with the right bet on the national destiny, it has successively won the "Sino-Japanese War" and the "Russian-Japanese War". Japan's military and industrial levels have long been as good as those of the so-called Europeans.
A strong country only lacks some foundation.
After listening to Qin Hao's analysis, Ye Wen felt that his entire worldview had collapsed. He was not a person who cared about national affairs. He had only received traditional education. He had never attended a modern school and knew nothing about the outside world. It turned out that he was
In his mind, the martial arts world is a world, but now Qin Hao tells him that the so-called martial arts world is only a small part of the world. Beyond the martial arts world, there are countries, and beyond the countries, there are four oceans and seven continents.
"Brother, it seems you have never been to school, right? How come you know more than our teacher?" Gong Ruomei asked with admiration on her face.
Qin Hao smiled: "Although I have never gone to school, I have read a lot."
Saying that, Qin Hao glared at Wang Chao and Wang Kai again: "In the future, don't just practice Kungfu all day long, but also take some time to read more books and read newspapers."
"oh."
Wang Chao and Wang Kai both looked embarrassed. They had never even attended a private school and learned how to read from Qin Hao. They would rather punch a few more times than write a few more words.
Going back from Qin Hao's place in the evening, Ye Wen was still feeling uneasy. Qin Hao's words shocked him too much.
"Aren't you picking up the wind for Mr. Qin today? What's wrong with you?" Zhang Yongcheng saw something unusual about his husband.
Ye Wen looked at his wife: "What do you think about me transferring part of my family's property to Xiangjiang?"
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Zhang Yongcheng was even more curious. His husband never asked about business matters.
Ye Wen hesitated for a moment and then repeated Qin Hao's words.
Although Zhang Yongcheng did not go to a new-style school, her family was engaged in Westernization and she was familiar with the situation abroad. Because of this, she was even more surprised by Qin Hao's knowledge.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Qin would have such an opinion. It's really impressive."
"Then, do you think what he said is possible? Can the Japanese really invade Foshan?"
"If the internal situation of Japan's national power is really as Mr. Qin said, if it swallows China, they will be able to complete their transformation and truly become a powerful country in the world. How could they miss such an opportunity?"
After a long talk all night, Ye Wen called all the family managers together the next day and announced that half of the Ye family's property would be transferred to Xiangjiang.
The stewards were all confused about this sudden decision and asked about the reason one after another.
"Hmph, it seems that my boss's words are no longer useful?" Ip Man also rarely showed the momentum of a young master.
"I don't dare. Whatever the boss says is whatever it is, and we will just do it."
News that the Ye family has gradually begun to sell properties also spread like wildfire in Foshan. Some said that Mr. Ye lost money in gambling and was selling off the property to pay off debts. Others said that the Ye family had offended someone and had to pack up and run away.
road.
"Mr. Qin, why don't you follow me to Xiangjiang? Xiangjiang is now managed by the British, and the Japanese should not dare to touch it."
Qin Hao shook his head secretly after hearing this. In World War II, 61 countries were involved, and the only safe place seemed to be the American continent.
"No, I have other plans."
"Well, if you need anything, just tell me."
This can be regarded as a kind of gratitude from Ye Wen to Qin Hao for reminding him.
"I really have something to ask Mr. Ye for help. Help me get some passports."
