Chapter 204 Gu San's Descendants

A few months ago, when Li Yu first came to Qihua, he went to the old city to search for traces of Guihongmen, but found nothing.▲∴▲∴, what he remembered at that time were the contact points 400 years ago. After all the ups and downs of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the contemporary era, these contact points had long disappeared, and Li Yu could not find them.

Last month, Li Yu met an old man from Guihongmen in Nandao City, Country A. Before leaving Nandao, Zhu Chun'an gave Li Yu a new contact map, which marked the addresses and names of more than 100 contact points established by Guihongmen in the mainland and overseas during the War of Resistance Against Japan. From Zhu Chun'an, Li Yu learned that Guihongmen had gradually disappeared after the War of Resistance Against Japan. It can be said that these contact points are the last clues of Guihongmen.

These days in the hospital, Li Yu carefully studied the contact map, and also saw the place name Qihua. According to the contact map, there is an inn on Tiemen Street in Qihua. The owner's name is Gu, named Gu San, and he is the contact person of Guihongmen in Qihua. Li Yu searched the place name Tiemen Street on his mobile phone map and found that it is located in the old city of Qihua, and the name has been changed to Friendship Street. I don't know how to commemorate the friendship between whom.

Li Yu planned to start with Qihua and find the descendants of Guihongmen. Even if Guihongmen has really disappeared completely, he still needs to verify it himself before giving up. Of course, he also knew that the possibility of finding Gu San was very weak. Nearly 70 years have passed since the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Even if Gu San was only in his 20s, he would have to be a hundred years old. Can he still be alive?

With a feeling of gains and losses, Li Yu came to Friendship Street and began his journey of seeking the secluded and exploring the secret.

"Uncle, do you know that there is a Gu San who runs an inn on this street?" Li Yu asked an old man sitting at the door of his house basking in the sun. The old man's face was full of wrinkles and looked listless. He looked like he was less than ninety or eighty. If he had lived in this area all the time, he might have heard of Gu San's name.

"Master Gu San? I haven't heard of it." The old man shook his head decisively.

"You think about it again." Li Yu continued to ask without giving up.

The old man said angrily: "What's wrong with you, a young man? Do you think I'm old and confused? I said I've never heard of it, but I haven't heard of it. What about Gu Sanye? There's only one named Gu on this street. He doesn't run an inn, he sells meat. Are you looking for him?"

Li Yu nodded quickly: "Uh, okay, then where does this meat seller named Gu live?"

"I've died long ago." The old man said. He couldn't hear any compassion in his words, but it seemed like he was a little gloating. He didn't know if he had a holiday with the Butcher Gu.

"Then... does he have any descendants?"

"He has no descendants, a pig slaughter, who is willing to marry him..."

“…Uh, okay, thank you…”

Of course, Li Yu would not give up because of a setback. He bid farewell to the old man and continued to walk forward. While inquiring about the residents on both sides, he carefully observed the store's door signs, trying to find some traces from it.

Unlike South Island, even the old neighborhood of Qihua has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to more than 60 years ago. There are few old buildings on both sides of the street, replaced by buildings of various styles of the 1950s to the present. Although some houses are still old in frame, they have layers on the roof, supported on the walls, and colorful tiles on the walls. They can no longer see what they were originally looking. Li Yu turned around and asked questions so hard that he still found nothing. He stood on the street, looking at the red and green signs full of red and green eyes, and couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

"Young man, what are you looking for?"

A voice came from behind Li Yu in a surprise attack, which scared Li Yu. When people came and went on the street, Li Yu relaxed his vigilance and did not pay special attention to the movements around him. Otherwise, with his skills and sensitivity, it would be impossible for someone to walk behind him and he was still unaware of it.

"Old sir, are you talking to me?"

Li Yu looked back and saw an old man in his early 60s standing behind him, with a weak appearance. He bowed to the other party and asked politely.

The old man looked at Li Yu up and down, then nodded and said, "I've seen you all the way. Are you looking for someone? Can you tell me?"

"Is that true?" Li Yu was a little ashamed. Someone stared at him all the way, but he didn't notice it. In that kind of era of chaos, he might have died long ago.

"Old sir, I am indeed looking for someone to find an old sir named Gu Sanye. Have you heard of this name?" Li Yu asked.

The old man's face was calm and asked lightly: "What are you looking for him? Is he your relative?"

This is the calmest answer Li Yu heard today. Li Yu thought, and he curled his smile and said, "It's not a relative, but an old friend. Could it be that the old man knows the Mr. Gu San I'm looking for?"

The old man did not answer Li Yu's question, but continued to ask: "You said that Mr. Gu is your old friend, and I don't know what old friend is your. I think the young man is only around 20 years old. When did you meet Mr. Gu?"

Li Yu smiled and replied, "I have never met Gu Sanye. I know the reason for him, just because..."

Speaking of this, he stroked the ground with his toes and vaguely drew the appearance of a wild goose. This is a secret note from Guihongmen. If the old man had any relationship with Gu Sanye of Guihongmen, he might be able to see the meaning of the pattern. On the other hand, if the old man couldn't see it, it would be unnecessary for Li Yu to say anything nonsense.

The old man followed Li Yu's gaze and looked at the ground. Seeing the traces drawn from Li Yu's toes, his face changed suddenly. He raised his head, looked at Li Yu again for a while, and then whispered: "Come with me."

After saying that, he raised his legs and left. Li Yu was also very skilled and brave. Seeing this, he followed the old man without hesitation. The old man walked very slowly, looking leisurely. Li Yu knew the rules, but he just followed the old man two steps away, and did not go forward and say more to the old man, so that outsiders could see him, like two irrelevant people.

After walking along the street for a while, the old man turned into an alley, and Li Yu followed him in. After walking a few steps forward, there was a three-story building facing him. There was a light box hanging outside the door with the words "Youyuan Hotel" written on it.

Youyuan Hotel is a chain express hotel in Yunjiang Province. It also has several branches in Yuhai. Li Yu had seen it before. Seeing the old man entering the hotel without raising his head, Li Yu followed closely and walked into the hotel lobby.

This is an economical hotel transformed from a tube building in the past. The lobby is not large, and except for the counter, there is only about 20 square meters left. There is a circle of sofas against the wall opposite the counter, which is for customers who check in to take a temporary rest. I don’t know if the hotel’s business is not good or if it happens to be a space. There are no idle people in the lobby except a waiter sitting behind the counter in a daze.

"Young man, please sit down."

The old man led Li Yu to the side of the sofa, sat down first, then pointed to a sofa next to him, and said to Li Yu.

Li Yu thanked him and sat down on the sofa. He was about to open his mouth to ask the old man something, but he saw that the old man's eyes turned to another place, obviously he didn't want to talk to him. Li Yu followed the old man's eyes and turned his eyes to a painting on the opposite wall. He couldn't help but feel a stern heart. The painting had a plain style, unlike a famous painting. There was a vast reed marsh on the painting. A lonely goose flew by in the air. The head of the lonely goose turned slightly, which was the secret record of "the north geese return south".

"How about this painting?" the old man asked with a smile.

"It's indeed a good painting." Li Yu replied.

“What’s the good thing?”

"The sky is clear and the geese are far away."

"Flying Hong stepped on the snow."

"Yan Song is still not broken."

"Sehong spreads his wings and flies."

After finishing the four incisions, the old man's face showed a look of surprise. He stood up, made a gesture to Li Yu, and said, "Young man, follow me."

Li Yu followed the old man into a well-decorated room. The old man asked Li Yu to sit down, then carefully closed the door, turned around, and asked in a surprised tone: "Who are you? How could you know these rules?"

"Li Yu, a disciple of the Cangmulus of the Hongmen, pay homage to the senior." Li Yu bowed to the old man and gave a junior respect. There was no way, age was his fault, and he was used to regard himself as a junior.

"Qihua Chen Yilin." The old man introduced himself, "The Master Gu San you are looking for is my father-in-law. He passed away 30 years ago. I am his only successor."

"So that's it." Li Yu was not surprised by this result. No wonder he had no results when asking for the person surnamed Gu. It turned out that Gu San's successor was his son-in-law and did not have a surname.

"Cangmurulu? Why have I never heard of such a branch?" Chen Yilin asked curiously.

"My younger generation has been living in Cangmu Mountain since childhood. My master is a Taoist. He said that our branch is Cangmu Dun of Guihongmen, but he is the only successor of Cangmu Dun, and I am my only disciple." Li Yu said.

"No wonder." Chen Yilin accepted Li Yu's explanation. No matter what, Li Yu knew the connection code of Guihongmen and could draw the secret notes of Guihongmen, which at least showed that he had a great relationship with Guihongmen.
