Chapter 5 [Crossing the Guandong East] (1)

Luo Lie was shocked. Mu Sanshou was indeed so scheming. He found so many things related to him and used the lives of the children of Gospel Primary School as a threat. It was really despicable, but if not, how could he force himself to submit easily? The devil was one foot taller and the devil was one foot taller. He dealt with this long-famous hero in the world and was as frightened as he walked on thin ice.

Mu Sanshou walked out of the gate, came to the gate and paused for a moment, as if he remembered something again: "By the way, little fat man, I will have someone take your grandmother over to serve him for a lifetime, you don't have to worry."

The blind man shouted, "Don't hurt her..." The blind man had only this relative. Five years ago, he fled to Huangpu with his paralyzed grandmother on his back. Unexpectedly, Mu Sanshou could even find out this clearly.

Mu Sanshou laughed loudly, ignoring the blind man's screams at all, opened the church door and left.

After Mu Sanshou left, Luo Lie walked over and put the blind man down. As soon as the blind man's numb hands and feet recovered, he rushed towards Ye Qinghong like an angry hippo, opened his mouth and roared: "You can deal with us no matter how you deal with us, and you must never hurt my grandmother!"

A flash of cold light, Ye Qinghong had already added a thin and sharp dagger in his hand, pressing against the blind man's jaw, forcing the blind man to bear the weight of his fat with his toes. Ye Qinghong said coldly: "Remember two things for me. First, don't yell at me anymore. Do you know if you have bad breath? Second, don't stare at me anymore! I hate others' lustful appearance the most."

Luo Lie said: "Only women who are unconfident are afraid that others will stare at them, right?"

Ye Qinghong suddenly turned her pretty face, her beautiful eyes flashed with cold light, and she stared at Luo Lie.

Luo Lie said: "If you want others to work hard for you, it is better to be polite. Of course, it is best to be able to cooperate and win-win. But if you really turn your face and fight to the death, Miss Ye feels how confident you can get out of here alive?"

Ye Qinghong moved the dagger away from the blind man's jaw and turned completely to Luo Lie: "Are you threatening me?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "You might as well understand it as advice and advice. From today on, it is best for all the children in Gospel Primary School to be safe and sound. If one has a fever, cold, or one has a missed class and skipped school, I will count it first. Grandma Chen is in her seventies and hopes that her parents will live a hundred years old. If during our cooperation, the old lady will have any problems, we will most likely count the responsibility on you. In fact, everyone is under a lot of pressure."

Everything is relative. You think you have grasped other people's shortcomings and handles, but if you want to control others, you must protect them in order to come in handy at critical moments. But everything will be risky. Luo Lie is reminding Ye Qinghong of this truth. If there is any accident between him and the blind man cherishes, they will fight back at any cost.

Ye Qinghong nodded: "I'm really a little scared when you say that!"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "I just want a little respect, and everyone is equal in the eyes of the Lord!"

The blind man's emotions gradually recovered with his congested expression, and his reason completely returned. He accepted reality and had only the conditions to face the other side directly, and was weak: "What do you want us to do?"

Ye Qinghong said: "There are two of the same keys."

The blind man said, "Do you want us to find those two keys?" He couldn't help but feel cold. If this is true, finding two inconspicuous keys in the vast world is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Ye Qinghong said: "It's not as complicated as you think. The whereabouts of these two keys have been mastered by us. You just need to retrieve the key and even if you have completed the task."

The blind man said skeptically: "That's so simple?"

Ye Qinghong said disdainfully: "I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do something too complicated!"

Luo Lie didn't believe Ye Qinghong's words at all. If things were as simple as she said, why would they have to come to the door with all their troubles? Why didn't they take action in person?

The blind man said, "Give us the clues!"

Ye Qinghong said: "You guys prepare and set off for Manchuria in three days!"

“Manchuria?”

After passing Shanhaiguan, the temperature suddenly dropped. Looking out from the train window, it was already a plain view. Luo Lie had already changed into a mink coat and sat in front of the window to read a book, enjoying the midday sunshine projecting in from the window. He had not been asleep all night but had no feeling of fatigue. Luo Lie realized that the insomnia that had troubled him for many years had begun to become serious again.

The blind man still did not wake up from the hangover he had last night, opened his mouth and made a deafening sweet snoring sound.

It was the first time for them to get into such a luxurious private room. In the past, they rarely even took a second-class car, let alone a private room for two. Although the task this time was due to coercion, it is impossible to deny that Mu Sanshou's generous move was made and he prepaid 300 yuan of silver for them, not including the few outfits he bought for them before leaving.

Luo Lie originally wanted to leave some money for Gospel Primary School, but when he arrived at the place, he found that all the children of Gospel Primary School had put on new cotton coats, and each classroom and dormitory was equipped with a heating stove. It turned out that it was sent by Mu Sanshou. In addition, he also donated a thousand yuan for the school to repair the dangerous house and improve the children's food. This made Luo Lie more favorable to this hero who was in the French Concession.

The blind grandmother was sent to Ren'ai Hospital. It was not because of an emergency, but because she coughed and wheezed at this time of year. Maybe it was because Luo Lie's words to Ye Qinghong. They also realized that if Luo Lie and the blind man were in a steadily manner, they had to protect the two cards in their hands and sent Grandma Chen to the advanced ward for recuperation, and treat the chronic bronchitis that had plagued her for many years.

At least for the moment, their transaction did not suffer much, and it seemed that they had taken a lot of advantages.

The train was on the South Manchurian Railway Line, and their final destination was Yingkou, the earliest port in Northeast China was occupied by the Russians. After the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, the Russians were defeated and occupied by the Japanese. They established Yingkou military and political families and began their military colonial rule. Two and a half years later, after negotiations, they agreed to return Yingkou to the Qing government. However, the Japanese side had two sides and only handed over half of Yingkou. Now that the Qing Dynasty was destroyed and the Republic of China was established, Xinshijie, Niu Honcho, and Niujiatun were not returned, and they were still under the actual control of the Japanese. As for the most part, the railway rights in Manchuria were even under the control of the Japanese.

Luo Lie put down the books in his hand and looked out the car window. He saw the white rivers and mountains. The sun gradually shifted. Through the car window, he could clearly see the shadows parallel to it on the ground. Luo Lie suddenly remembered the letter he received before leaving Huangpu.

The letter was taken out of the bag. The letter paper was yellowed, but the handwriting was new. You could even smell the faint fragrance of ink. The fly head small regular script was neatly crafted and written very well. The letter should have a year and a month, and the letter was soon finished. This letter came from a distant uncle. If it weren't for this unexpected letter, Luo Lie would not know that he had such a relative in Manchuria. The uncle from the distance had no relatives, and the only relative who could be contacted was Luo Lie. He should have died before writing this letter. After a series of long opening remarks and self-introductions, the same lengthy content was used to prove his relationship with Luo Lie. Finally, the purpose of the letter was pointed out. He was seriously ill and would not be long before he passed down. I hope that if Luo Lie could go to Fengtian, he would like to explain some important things and hand over some ancestral things to Luo Lie.

Luo Lie was not interested in this letter full of sudden factors. He had never seen this distant uncle, not to mention that his father died when he was very young. When he was seven years old, his mother also died of illness. From then on, he lived with his grandfather. His grandfather was a former Qing juren and never entered the officialdom in his life. However, he was knowledgeable and valued great importance to education. Therefore, he devoted all his money to Luo Lie to school and sent him to the Chinese and Western schools early. When he was thirteen, he sent him on a steamer to America. He was able to make such a choice in that era, which proved that the old man was still quite enlightened.

Luo Lie still doesn't understand why his grandfather chose to commit suicide after the fall of the Qing Dynasty. The old man seemed to be unruly and not good at expressing his feelings, but he devoted everything to his grandson. Although the grandfather and grandson had not communicated much, he also knew that his grandfather wanted to have a prosperous country and rejuvenate the nation deep in his heart. He had talent but never went to the Qing court for his life. Fundamentally, he was disappointed with the corruption of the Qing Dynasty. The demise of the Qing Dynasty and the founding of the Republic of China should have made this old man ignite hope, but he didn't expect that he would choose to sacrifice his life to the country and end his life with the corrupt empire of the Qing Dynasty.

The sound of the train's whistle interrupted Luo Lie's contemplation. He put the letter in hand. This time they would stay in Fengtian for one day and meet with the person Mu Sanye arranged in advance. Perhaps they could take time to visit this distant uncle whom he had never met.

Luo Lie stood up and patted the blind man. The blind man impatiently turned his body on the bed, and continued his dream of spring and autumn. Luo Lie had no choice but to be a little envious. He raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was already twelve:30. He had not had breakfast yet and felt really hungry. He stood up and walked out to the dining cart.
