Old Movies of the Republic of China(1)

Cold! Extremely cold!

Lin Yutong felt that her feelings were getting clearer and clearer. The coldness made her shiver, and she woke up.

hiss!

Before opening her eyes, she took a breath. It was not only cold, but also painful. She wanted to reach out and touch her aching forehead, but found that she couldn't move her hand at all. She struggled for a while and realized that it was

Her hands were tied. How could she be tied up? She was puzzled. She hurriedly opened her eyes slightly to see her situation. But after glancing around, she was a little stunned. If she saw it right,

The one placed in the main hall looks like a statue of Guan Gong. This statue of Guan Gong should be made of clay. It has no painted color. It is so gray that it looks like you can blow off a layer of skin by blowing on it. It is separated by a distance of three to five meters.

We can clearly see several cracks on the body of the Guan Gong statue. Although it is so dilapidated, there is still a handful of incense burning brightly on the long case used for worship. This proves that there are still people worshiping here. The case is missing.

She had one leg removed, and a thick tree stump was used to stand on the ground instead of supporting the leg. She looked further and saw two torches fixed on the wall. They should be used for lighting. Only then did she react.

Come here, it's not daytime now. So I couldn't help but turn my head and look outside. The door was wide open, and it was pitch black outside. The wind blew in through the open door, bringing moisture. I thought it hadn't just rained outside.

It's still raining.

Recognizing this is the statue of Guan Gong, it is not difficult to guess that this is the Guan Gong Temple. Looking at the dilapidated scene, people should not come here often. But the torches, incense candles, and his tied hands all prove that there are other things here.

people at.

Could it be that he was kidnapped?

Lin Yutong lowered his head and glanced at his body. He was wearing a gray patched double-breasted jacket, a pair of roughly black trousers on his lower body, leggings tied around the ankles of the trousers, and a pair of round-mouthed old man's feet that could no longer be seen.

Cloth shoes. She immediately understood the general idea of ​​this outfit.

The Republic of China! This is definitely the Republic of China!

She was shocked for a moment, and she stopped thinking about it. Because she suddenly realized that her guess about the current situation was wrong. The clothes on her body clearly did not look like they came from a wealthy family. Such a person deserves to be paid to others.

Kidnapped? This guess was overturned in an instant, and then she had another guess in her mind. Could it be that she was abducted by human traffickers? It didn't seem to make sense. This guy with long arms and legs should look like an adult. If it is said to be abduction of women, this

It's quite possible that even though she was wearing a men's suit at the moment, when she struggled to raise her hand, her arm brushed against her chest, it was obvious that she was still a woman.

With such a guess in her mind, she no longer hesitated. She turned her palm and a small dagger appeared. With a slight stroke, the rope binding her hands was untied. Taking the rope away, she moved her wrist and stood up.

, she has to know where she is now? Where is the Fourth Master?

She raised her hand to touch the wound on her forehead, but as soon as she raised her hand, she took a glance and was stunned. The hands were unexpectedly slender and very beautiful.

This is wrong again. How can children from poor families maintain their hands like this?

No matter how many doubts she had in her heart, she had to deal with her own injury first. When she touched the wound, the pain became more severe. But then, scenes of the past flashed past her eyes. She leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and waited.

After a while, when he opened his eyes again, Lin Yutong knew the identity of this body, and the doubts in his heart were also solved.

This is the body of a sixteen-year-old girl. But in these sixteen years, almost no one knew that she was a girl. There were no parents in her memory, only her master. Her master was an old thief! The reason for her hands

She has taken good care of herself and has the answer. As a thief, she relies on the skill of her hands to make a living. She has no surname, and the master calls her Chou Chou. Chou Chou is her name. She has followed her master around since she was a child. The old man is good at craftsmanship, and she

She was not considered someone who had endured hardship. Half a year ago, the master contracted dysentery and sought medical advice. He spent every last penny he had on him, but failed to save the old thief's life. This girl was left alone, struggling to make ends meet.

This old thief has great affection for his apprentice who was raised by his own hands. He passed on his skills to his apprentice, but never asked his apprentice to do it himself. In his words, his hands were dirty and he didn't want his apprentice to get his hands dirty too. Before he left,

Holding the apprentice's hand, he repeatedly warned him not to follow his old path. He also regretted that he did not ask his apprentice to learn other means of livelihood. After all, this girl did not listen to the master's words. The first time she stole something, she needed money.

The master bought a coffin for burial. After wandering the streets for a day, she finally found a big smoker who was going to a smoking den, stole a silver dollar from him, and then buried the master. Then, she targeted the wealthy family.

In her mind, this is called robbing the rich to give to the poor. That’s what the storytellers in the teahouses say. But wealthy people are not easy to steal. In the past six months, she has relied on occasionally stealing money from old smokers to buy big cigarettes.

She was living her life in a fool's errand. Until the day before yesterday, there was finally news about the wealthy family she was staring at. The concubine of this family was going on a long trip, and she even hitched a ride with the commander's wife. That was so majestic! There was a small jeep in front of her.

Behind it was a large truck, which was used for loading. Later, she discovered that no one was watching the entire truck compartment. Only then did she become interested and ran out of the town in advance to give the vehicle a chance to leave the town.

There were stones on the road that she would have to pass in the future. When the car stopped to clear the roadblock, she climbed onto the truck secretly. When the car started to drive, she was in a hurry to find valuable and lightweight things, when the car braked suddenly.

She stopped, and her forehead hit the corner of the wooden box in the luggage, breaking it. And the reason why she is still tied up here is because this group of people was stopped by bandits. Nothing was stolen.

, but she was kidnapped to the mountain by the bandits along with a group of people. Because among these people, she couldn't get any oil out of her body, so she was left alone here, and no one cared about her life or death.

After figuring out the whole story, Lin Yutong had a clue. She had to find out where the Fourth Master was first.

If he turned into a scar-faced bandit leader... Lin Yutong trembled. This picture was so beautiful that he couldn't even imagine it.

Hiding in a backlit corner, I first ate something to replenish my strength, and then took some medicine. The wound on my head cannot be treated yet. People will inevitably become suspicious if they see it.

After she had packed up, she quietly walked out of the main hall. It was dark outside, windy, and it was really raining. Her clothes did not block the wind at all. She shrank her shoulders, tightened her clothes tightly, and looked around

I looked around and found that there was really no one here. Could it be that I was left alone while everyone else left?

It shouldn’t be!

She went around to the back of the main hall, and sure enough, there was light coming out of the back hall and the side rooms on both sides.

Unexpectedly, this Guan Gong Temple is quite well-equipped. Come to think of it, incense was very prosperous here in the past.

Maybe it was because it was cold outside and no one in the house came out. But even so, she didn't dare to be careless. She walked around a few more steps, went around the back of the wing, went around to the back of the back hall, and then walked through the worn window paper.

Inside, look inside.

Compared with the coldness of the main hall, the back hall is much livelier. There are more than a dozen men in the room, holding torches. Most of these people are wearing black double-breasted jackets. The light is too dark to see clearly what kind of fabric they are. But even

They were made of homespun foreign cloth, without patches, and they were still dressed so neatly. I knew that this group of bandits was by no means a mob. Looking closer, I saw that everyone had a belt wrapped around their waists, and there was a bulge in the belt that was covered by the placket. Lin Yutong felt in his heart

By the way, it should be a gun.

In the center of the room, three people were sitting on stools. A middle-aged man with a big beard was sitting opposite them. The three people were two women and one man, and they were not tied up. Two women, one of whom was very slender, were wearing a

A very colorful cheongsam, a shawl on the shoulders, and a pair of single pumps on the feet. Lin Yutong had seen this woman in his memory. She was the concubine of a wealthy family who was being stared at by the original person. Her surname seemed to be Lu. The servant was not

Call her concubine, just Miss Lu. The other woman is much richer. She has a chubby face and a two- or three-layered chin. She is wrapped in a black cheongsam, which makes people look a bit unbearable.

Before she had time to look at the man in a suit on the other side, the wealthy lady took off the pearl necklace hanging around her neck and said to the bandit leader opposite: "...It's all for you! It's all for you.

!Please raise your hand, there will be a generous reward later.”

"Mrs. Guo, what are you talking about?" The bearded man chuckled, "There is really a misunderstanding today! We brothers are all rough people, so I invite you to be our guest, madam... Although it is a bit rude, there is absolutely no disrespect at all.

He rejected the necklace and then said: "I, Liu Sanhe, would never dare to touch my wife's body. What do you think of me, Liu Sanhe, and the Liuzi Gang?"

Mrs. Guo's face suddenly turned pale. She had never heard of bandits not seeking money. She carefully glanced at Miss Lu who was sitting on the side, and then said to Liu Sanhe: "I dare to ask Liu Sanye, you...

...This is...for what." She handed the necklace forward, "This...this is the hard-earned money for the brothers. I just treat it as a treat for the brothers to drink tea. Please accept it, Mr. Liu. Outside.

Everything in the car was also offered as a gift to the brothers."

Liu Sanhe's face immediately became filled with joy: "You see... Madam is so polite... it's so embarrassing." As he said that, with a wink, a tall and thin man stood up from behind him and put the link.

He went over, but did not retreat. Instead, he looked at Miss Lu. Miss Lu raised her head, lowered it quickly, and handed over the gold earrings on her ears and the bracelet on her wrist.

At this time, Liu Sanhe kicked the tall and thin subordinate: "It's a shameful thing, a useless thing. Look, Madam, it's a joke..."

The tall and thin man looked like he was greedy for money. He put it in his arms and, regardless of being kicked, he stood up straight and threw his hands towards the two women before running out.

"Madam, you are laughing." Liu Sanhe said this politely, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Lin Yutong thought to himself: This bandit leader is quite civilized in his pretentious manner.

Mrs. Guo seemed to not know how to answer the question, and smiled stiffly. However, Liu Sanhe's voice changed and she suddenly asked: "I heard that Commander Guo has been promoted to Commander of City Defense. I would like to congratulate Madam first."

Lin Yutong suddenly realized that Liu Sanhe must be begging for help. This method of asking for help was really unique.

Mrs. Guo seemed to understand a little bit, and her back suddenly straightened up and she said: "They are all fellow villagers. If there is any use for them, Mr. Liu, please speak frankly."

"Madam is such a happy person." Liu Sanhe stood up immediately, "With Madam's words, I now know how to tell Commander Guo."

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Lin Yutong was about to get up and wanted to see what Liu Sanhe was doing. He saw the man who had been sitting next to the two women raised his head. At first, there was a bit of confusion in his eyes. Then he looked at the man next to him.

The two women looked at each other with a somewhat appraising look in their eyes.

It just so happened that Mrs. Guo's eyes were blank at this time, probably thinking about Liu Sanhe's attitude.

Lin Yutong took a look and immediately understood. This man must be the fourth master. The reason why he stared at Mrs. Guo must be that he suspected that Mrs. Guo was him. Looking at Mrs. Guo's age, she was in her forties. She was estimated to be less than 1.6 meters tall when she stood.

She looked like she weighed close to two hundred kilograms. She felt like laughing in her heart, and she didn't know what Fourth Master was thinking at this time.

The fourth master was indeed a little confused. He stared at the woman in front of him for a long time, and saw that she still had an empty look. He was a little unsure, was Tongtong receiving memories or something?

But when the other party came back to his senses, he could easily tell from the look in his eyes that this woman was not her. The woman sitting next to him was shaking all the time, she was scared. Tongtong was not so courageous, so she was not her.

At this time, a bird chirped from outside, which was very abrupt. That chirp was unusually tactful. The men in black inside looked around, and someone else muttered, "What kind of bird is this? It's so fucking loud."

It sounds really good."

But there was a flash of light in Fourth Master's eyes. It was the call of a thrush. Where can there be any thrush in this wilderness? It is obviously man-made. Tongtong saw ventriloquism and wanted to learn it, but later he had nothing to do.

, I really asked someone to learn it. Although the learning was not satisfactory, I can still imitate this simple bird call.

So at this moment, she should be outside.

But Lin Yutong was having trouble with the current situation at this time, because she didn't know what the relationship between the current fourth master and those two women was. Miss Lu definitely didn't know the original person of the fourth master, because in her memory, the original person was staring at him.

I've been with Miss Lu for half a year, but I haven't seen the two of them interact. So is it related to Mrs. Guo? Judging from the current age of the fourth master, he is only around 20 years old. Could he be Mrs. Guo's nephew? Otherwise, how can we explain the two of them?

Something in a car.

If this is the case, it will be troublesome. I and Fourth Master can always find a way to run out. But if we bring two women with us, it will not be easy. What should we do? Wait for Liu Sanhe to negotiate with Commander Guo? Lin Yutong shook his head,
To be continued...
