Chapter 54 Reunion
?
"Hold these, don't let outsiders see them, and don't talk nonsense. I'm doing it for your own good, understand?" The other party looked at the bag printed in Japanese, and looked at Huang Chao with complicated eyes. Of course, Huang Chao knew what the other party wanted. What, nothing more than suspecting that he is a lackey of Japan.
Huang Chao shook his head slightly, showed a smile, and then whispered: "Just pretend nothing happened, and don't let the Japanese see this." After looking at it, he stuffed the cloth bag tightly into his arms, bowed his head and left.
At this time, Foshan also had resistance organizations behind the enemy lines. The passer-by realized that Huang Chao might be one of them, so he quickly took his things and left.
When he came to the spinning mill, Zhou Qingquan was about to go out when Huang Chao saw him hurrying out of the factory gate wearing a suit and familiar round glasses.
As soon as Zhou Qingquan went out, he saw Huang Chao standing at the door. He hadn't seen him for a year. Huang Chao's appearance hadn't changed, but his face became more icy. Seeing acquaintances in this season, Zhou Qingquan was very happy: "A Chao, you are back?"
"Quan, Brother Quan." Huang Chao's heart was filled with excitement, he finally met someone he knew. He suddenly remembered that since he was involved in the Battle of Songhu in August last year, he had been alone for a year in silence.
Except for the base where he bought food and hid it in the wilderness at the beginning, he never talked to anyone. In the end, he was completely snatching supplies from a small group of Japanese soldiers, and he had no chance to speak. What he sees every day is sea water and sky, and later added all kinds of shocking horrors.
"Finally back, even though I have meditation to eliminate negative emotions, such a silent battle almost overwhelms my spirit."
Zhou Qingquan approached Huang Chao, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you back? The situation is tense now, and you are not with your father? Foshan is in its current state, and it is no longer possible to learn martial arts."
Zhou Qingquan also heard from Ye Wen before that Huang Chao might have participated in the war. At this time, seeing Huang Chao's vicissitudes of appearance and cold demeanor, he suspected that Huang Chao was a soldier and had a special mission when he came back.
But this kind of thing, he is not good to ask rashly. So I had to ask a few general questions. If Huang Chao had other reasons, he would take it as true and never talk about his guesses.
Zhou Qingquan's cautious appearance made Huang Chao feel quite funny. This is also a loyal person. Although his views on prices are a bit weird, he is definitely Ye Wen's friend. In the end, to cover Ye Wen, he was shot in the head.
Huang Chao squeezed out a smile and felt his face was a little stiff. He cleared his throat so that he could speak in a normal voice: "Ha, Brother Quan. I just came back to check, there is nothing else."
Huang Chao was indeed lying.
He came back just to participate in the last episode, and then returned to the original world when the space-time energy was full. The years of fighting had exhausted him physically and mentally.
This reason was too false, and Zhou Qingquan also saw that Huang Chao was playing it perfunctory, which further deepened his own thinking: Huang Chao must have come to carry out the mission.
"I know some people, and they are also opposing now." Zhou Qingquan gestured to the sun flag on the street with his eyes, without saying anything specific, "If you want to help, I can contact them."
Huang Chao fell into deep thought, which made Zhou Qingquan feel that his guess was more accurate. After a long time, Huang Chao said, "I won't talk about it beforehand. Brother Quan, do you know where Brother Wen is?"
"Ah Wen, I'm going to find him too, let's go together. But Ah Chao, don't pull Ah Wen to do it together, his wife and children are pointing at him alone."
Huang Chao just laughed it off. None of the soldiers and civilians who resisted the Japanese army jumped out of rocks, and who had no relatives? They all fought for the country with a passion, and died without shame.
Ip Man is actually a patriotic person. It is said that after Ip Man fought with Japanese soldiers, he and his family escaped from Foshan, then joined the secret service organization and carried out secret work. All the movies only show the events before 1938 and after 1950. Could it be that Ip Man disappeared during this period? However, Huang Chao estimated that the children of Ip Man's big family probably stayed in the secret service after the Anti-Japanese War, and then hehehe, so that they were brought to Hong Kong and never came back...
On the way, Zhou Qingquan said with emotion: "Thanks to your persuasion, I have at least saved some capital. The Hong Kong shop you entrusted to me before is also operating normally. I have been persuading Ah Wen to leave Foshan, but he I feel like leaving is escaping from home.”
"Brother Quan, why are you still running a factory here? I think your factory is very dilapidated. It doesn't do much good."
"Oh, I'm also from Foshan. If the factory doesn't open, the workers won't have anything to eat. How can I escape by myself? These damn things..." Zhou Qingquan cursed softly while looking at the Japanese soldiers, pulling Huang Chao stood on the side of the road.
"Look down, don't look at them. Chao, you are not an ordinary person, don't let them notice you."
As long as Huang Chao activates his mind, he can instantly kill this group of Japanese soldiers, but there are so many Japanese soldiers in the city, he can only hurt Zhou Qingquan and the spinning mill by doing so. Huang Chao could only follow Zhou Qingquan to make way on the side of the street, listening to the footsteps of the Japanese soldiers going away.
Zhou Qingquan took Huang Chao to a rice shop: "When the war started, refugees flooded into Foshan, and many wealthy households took over to give out porridge. Later, Japanese soldiers entered the city and looted wantonly. Most of the people in the city suffered, and no one had overnight food. Ah Wen’s life is also very difficult, who would have thought that their mansion was robbed by Japanese soldiers to be used as the headquarters! After I came back, I found out that he would come here to trade things for rice every day.”
"If you hadn't asked him to reserve some gold bars, his family would have run out of food. Sigh, I have known him for so many years, Ah Wen is a very strong person, and he would never accept others' help."
Huang Chao and Zhou Qingquan walked into the crowd, and saw a thin figure wearing a black coat, coming out of the crowd with a small bag of rice.
"Ask brother!"
Ye Wen raised his head and saw Huang Chao and Zhou Qingquan, his frowns slowly unfolded, he took a few deep breaths, and finally revealed a smile. At this moment, it is one of the few happy things to be able to reunite with old friends from before.
When they returned to the spinning mill, Zhou Qingquan introduced the situation of the factory to Ye Wen. He wanted to invite Ye Wen to work in the factory on the grounds that the two had formed a joint stock company. In fact, he wanted to find an excuse to help him, but Ye Wen still refused. .
Zhou Qingquan's son still looked sluggish, wearing a light-colored sweater, looking quite fashionable. When he saw Ye Wen and Huang Chao, he ran over happily: "Uncle Wen, Uncle Huang."
Huang Chao was very distressed when he heard it. "Uncle Huang" seemed to make him coincide with a certain big-eared thief. Could this faint sadness portend something? But Zhou Guangyao finally called himself "Uncle" and no longer called himself "Brother Chao" as before. This seniority was finally cleared up.
This year's battle made Huang Chao see more tragedies and a lot of vicissitudes. Zhou Guangyao feels that Huang Chao is not like the big brother before, but has become an uncle like his father.
Huang Chao said sincerely: "Ah Yao, long time no see, he is already an adult." Children will be very happy when they hear such words, and Zhou Guangyao is no exception.
He pulled Ye Wen and Huang Chao and said: "You guys are here to help, that's great... Uncle Wen is leading everyone, everyone will be more energetic, and I can still watch you play Wing Chun. Brother Chao, uh, Uncle Huang You are also amazing..."
This brat really can't speak. Before Ye Wen could say anything, he characterized it as "coming to help", which made it difficult for people to get off the stage. He also played Wing Chun for everyone to see, you should be performing as a worker's art team!
Later, Zhou Qingquan and his son stayed with Ye Wen for dinner. Ye Wen patted Zhou Guangyao's face and smiled: "I still have something to do, let's do it next time." In fact, it is impossible for Ye Wen to stay for dinner. You must know that he came out to buy rice Yes, there is no more rice to cook at home!
Huang Chao also hurriedly said: "Then, I'm leaving too." He said goodbye to Zhou Qingquan and his son, chased out to catch up with Ye Wen, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, long time no see. My house has been blown into ruins, so I have to disturb you .”
The corner of Ye Wen's mouth twitched, and a smile appeared on his face, but he was no longer as cheerful as he was when he grinned, "Let's go, Chao, you have changed a lot this year. What have you been doing?"
"Even if they have been beating the Japanese, from Shanghai to Nanjing, there is nothing to say. Foshan fell, and I am tired, so I will come back and have a look."
Ye Wen's deep gaze swept across Huang Chao's face, and he quickly looked away. What happened to Huang Chao, what is the purpose of coming back, Ye Wen will not get to the bottom of it. Looking at the dilapidated streets, he said for a long time:
"I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, but now I find that I can't do anything. Chao, I am not as good as you."
After a while, they were already approaching Ip Man's home. Ye Wen was a little hesitant, and didn't want to invite Huang Chao to his house, because the current situation is really difficult, Huang Chao saw his embarrassment, and immediately said:
"Brother Ask, I won't go to your house. Is there any place nearby that sells food? I'll just make do with it."
Huang Chao said it politely, but Ye Wen is a person who cares about face. When Huang Chao said this, Ye Wen gritted his teeth and said: "A Chao, there are no restaurants outside. Come to my house and eat together."
Ye Wen likes to invite people to dinner, Master Liao came to ask for trouble, Ye Wen also asked him to have dinner with him. Meeting Huang Chao at this time, he was too embarrassed to invite him to dinner, Ye Wen felt very uncomfortable. Speaking out at this time, although I was very worried, but also kind of refreshed.
Huang Chao was secretly happy. If he wanted to help Ye Wen, he definitely couldn't give anything directly; with Ye Wen's self-esteem, he would never accept it. So he simply came up with a "If you want to give, you must first take it."
Huang Chao followed Ye Wen to his house. Just like in the movie, he lived in a dilapidated two-story building. There was a stove downstairs, and Ye Zhun and a few children, holding tree branches as guns, "fighted" each other.
Seeing them, Ye Zhun ran over and shouted, "Father, Uncle Huang."
