Chapter 059: Uncle
At noon, Xia Mingli set up a family banquet to entertain her new son-in-law. Xia Mingli's two sons were on the table, and Xia Kejun's aunt also came out to meet Mu Yang. The whole family was very satisfied with Mu Yang, the son-in-law.
At night, Mu Yang was arranged to sleep in Xia’s house.
The next morning, Xia Mingli took Mu Yang, Xia Kejun and his two sons, Xia Kejun's aunt, and several others to the Xia family's ancestral tomb to worship their ancestors and Xia Minglun and his wife.
Xia Kejun cried into tears and muttered in a muddle: "Father, mother, my daughter avenges you. You have a spirit in heaven and can rest in peace. My daughter will spend the rest of her life happily. Please rest assured."
Mu Yang was very polite. He had made up his mind to take good care of Xia Kejun. Since his daughters followed him, he naturally wanted to worship Taishan Taishui. Mu Yang knelt in front of Xia Minglun and his wife's grave and kowtowed four respectfully.
Xia Kejun watched Mu Yang kowtow to his parents, but his heart felt infinite warmth. Brother Mu helped him avenge him and was so respectful and polite. What else could he be dissatisfied with? At this time, Xia Kejun only felt that he was filled with happiness.
After worshiping his parents, Xia Kejun seemed to have let go of the big stone in his heart. He felt like his whole heart had broken free from the chains and became free. In the future, he would live his life well and be with Brother Mu.
After paying homage to his parents and being recognized by his uncle, Mu Yang and Xia Kejun did not stop for too long in Lucheng Town. The next morning, Mu Yang drove a motorcycle directly towards Zhangjiakou. They also had to take a train back to Tianjin. Mu Yang was still preparing to board the boat in Tianjin and go directly to Shanghai.
There is still no change in Zhangjiakou. Maybe I don’t know that Yu Pinqing has been killed. After all, the place where Mu Yang took action was in the woods in the wilderness. No one would go there normally. How could anyone be discovered? Even if it was discovered, it was probably bitten by wild beasts.
He took the train without any danger and returned to Tianjin. Muyang continued to use his Japanese identity to get two passenger ship tickets from Tianjin to Shanghai and boarded the ship heading to Shanghai.
There is no way to get on the boat back to Tianjin. If you take the land route, you will probably not be able to reach Shanghai in less than half a month and 20 days. And you have to pass through many war zones and blockade zones. Now it is not a future generation. There are any highways. It is difficult to walk on the road. More importantly, it is very difficult for Muyang to pass through the war zone and take Xia Kejun. In the end, he had no choice but to return to Tianjin to take a boat.
Fortunately, after more than ten days, the Japanese army in Tianjin had not been so strict, and the alarm was temporarily lifted. In addition, using the Japanese army's identity, it was difficult to get a ticket and hop the boat.
The moment she boarded the deck of the ship, Mu Yang felt that she had accomplished a feat, which was really both troublesome and tiring.
Walking into the cabin, it was a standard room for two people. This was a rare and good room on the cruise ship at this time. Mu Yang put down his luggage in his hand and said to Xia Kejun: "Thank you all the way with me. I have 3 days to go on the sea trip. I can take a break. By the way, you shouldn't be seasick."
The last sentence made Xia Kejun laugh, and Xia Kejun said, "I used to take a big boat to go out to sea, so I don't have seasickness."
During the past few days of travel, Mu Yang obviously felt that Xia Kejun's mental state was getting better and better, as if he had already walked out of the shadow of life and became a girl full of sunshine. This made Mu Yang very happy. He always felt that it would be better for girls to be happy and sunny. Lin Daiyu was prone to heart disease.
The furnishings of the cruise room are very simple, with two upholstered beds fixed on the deck, a small table, and a rare thing is that it also has a bathroom. One side of the ship's side facing the outside, which is about half a meter long and wide, and can only be opened halfway. However, after opening the window, a gentle sea breeze blew in, bringing a little coolness, which made the room no longer feel stuffy.
It was already evening when we got on the boat. Mu Yang took out some food, and the two of them solved it directly in the cabin, but did not go to the restaurant on the boat to have a meal. Because there are many Japanese people in the high-end cabin, especially Japanese soldiers, Mu Yang did not want to expose himself, and taking a beautiful woman like Xia Kejun may be coveted by people with intentions. It is better to have less trouble than more, so it is better to solve it yourself in the cabin.
The two looked at the sea outside the window, Xia Kejun held one of Mu Yang's arm and placed her head gently on her shoulders, enjoying the quiet and warm moment.
The two left Zhangjiakou, ate and lived together, and their relationship deepened. Especially Xia Kejun, after so many things, they had already determined that Mu Yang was his future support. They gradually let go of their hearts and showed great attachment to Mu Yang.
"Brother Mu, haven't you told me what you are doing in Shanghai?" Xia Kejun asked.
At first, Mu Yang was unwilling to let Xia Kejun know what he was doing, because he was afraid that Xia Kejun would worry. However, he underestimated the woman's determination to dig deeper into the bottom line, and what he did was not shameful. Mu Yang said: "Actually, I got the news this time that the Japanese got rid of a large number of antiques and cultural relics in our country. I want to recover them. These things belong to our Chinese nation and must not be easily taken away by the Japanese."
Xia Kejun's reaction was a little beyond Mu Yang's expectations. She raised her head and revealed admiration in her eyes, "Brother Mu, what you did is very dangerous, why didn't you want to tell me before?"
"I'm afraid you're worried." Mu Yang said, holding Xia Kejun's hand.
"From the beginning, I knew that Brother Mu was a lone heroic figure. Although I don't know why you did this, I think you did it right. The Japanese were shameless and cruel, killed so many of our compatriots, and plundered countless treasures from our country. They should be taken back." Xia Kejun said.
Mu Yang smiled and asked, "How do you know these?"
"My father said it, and I heard it in the girls' school. Many of our classmates wanted to go to the front line. Even if they could only sew and mend the soldiers, wash and cook, they could be considered supporting the War of Resistance." Xia Kejun's reaction was a bit beyond Mu Yang's expectations. It seemed that most of the students of this era had the intention of serving the country.
When Xia Kejun mentioned his father at this time, he no longer had the previous sadness, and obviously his mentality had improved a lot.
"Then didn't you have such an idea at that time?" Mu Yang was more curious about the girl's thoughts.
"I have had it, but I wanted to take revenge at that time, because I was afraid that if I died in battle on the front line, I would not have the chance to take revenge."
"So do you still have such an idea now?"
Xia Kejun looked at Mu Yang and said, "No, I just want to follow Brother Mu now, I will go wherever Brother Mu goes."
What else can Mu Yang say? Such a girl is a blessing that a man has cultivated for several lifetimes. Holding Xia Kejun's hand, the two of them stood quietly, watching the afterglow of the sea, and enjoying this quiet moment.
