Chapter 52 Dongdu

In the seventh year of the Republic of China, the seventh year of Taisho in Japan, in June 1918, the Western calendar.

Seven days ago, at the Dagukou, Tianjin, Qin Beiyang saw a giant black whale splitting the rolling waves on the Bohai Sea. He ran from the bow to the stern of the boat, looking at the Asian continent from afar, a golden sunset was bleeding, slowly sinking into the depths of the desert smoke in the North China Plain.

The 18-year-old Qin Beiyang, the nine colors of 1,200 years old, blows the hot west wind mixed with sand and gravel. Looking back, the vast sea is vast. This is the wonder of Cao Cao's "surrounding Jieshi in the east and watching the vast sea" a thousand and seven hundred years ago.

Life starts from the Tang Dynasty tomb of Bailuyuan, to the De Concession in Tianjin, and then to the Xiling Underground Palace, traveling around the imperial capital and the Demon Capital. This time, I want to travel far away to Japan and bid farewell to the hometown of Chixian. "The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind is floating, the life experience is floating and the rain is blowing, I am afraid of the beach and sigh in the ocean!" I still miss a few words, but it is not advisable to read it early.

There was a young man at the stern of the boat, wearing a black Japanese student outfit, chanting in a low voice: "After the song of the river, turn around, and be profound and profound, save the world and poor. Facing the wall for ten years, it is hard to repay the sea and is a hero."

It turns out that he is also a Chinese student. Qin Beiyang asked a little shyly: "Desolate and grand! Which poet's masterpiece is it?"

"I've done something when I'm free, and I'm laughing."

This man is about twenty years old, with bright eyes, two thick eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth are particularly stylish. He is actually a beautiful boy.

Suddenly, an illusory pavilion and tower appeared on the sea level. I wonder what to do today? The tomb top hundreds of years ago? Or the mysterious foreign country thousands of miles away?

"Mirage!" International students praised this magnificent wonder, "It's almost time to Penglai, this kind of fantasy often appears here."

"Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to Penglai Fairy Mountain to find the elixir of immortality. Is this the place?"

"Some people also say that Xu Fu went to Japan. His surname is Zhou, he was originally from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and from Huaian, Jiangsu." Student Zhou spoke with a Jianghuai accent and looked up and down at Qin Beiyang, asking, "I guess it's your first time to go to Japan, right?"

"yes."

"I have been in Japan for a year and am studying in a preparatory school in Tokyo. Which subject do you study?" Seeing Qin Beiyang looking confused, Zhou continued to ask, "Liberal arts? Science courses? Medical?"

"Oh, I'm going to the Japanese Army NCO School."

"So you are a soldier of the Beiyang government?"

Qin Beiyang had no choice but to continue disguising: "My name is Qi Yuanshan, and he is from Zhengding, Zhili."

"Is this big dog yours? It's so special, can I touch it?"

With the approval of the owner, Zhou stroking the nine-colored mane, the tomb-town beast that was not close to the stranger actually became well-behaved and obedient.

"Qiyuanshan will be in the future! Maybe in Japan in the near future, maybe in China that will take off in the future."

Classmate Zhou's smile was so handsome and Qin Beiyang, who was fleeing in a panic, felt ashamed of himself.

After dark, Qin Beiyang found the third-class cabin. Most of the passengers were Chinese students, and Japanese prostitutes, and the sound of clogs was everywhere. This passenger ship belonged to Haneda Steamboat Co., Ltd., with the Haneda family's emblem printed.

In the middle of the night, a storm broke out in the Bohai Sea, and lightning and thunder were roaring outside the porthole. Someone kept vomiting in the cabin. Qin Beiyang grabbed the railings and remembered the fishing boats crossing the East China Sea half a year ago. The ship sailed into Lushunkou to shelter from the wind. Through the Jinshan Mountain and the Tiger Tail, the Sino-Japanese War, there were fierce battles here. The memorial tower on Erling Mountain, like a bullet rushing straight into the sky, was established by the "Japanese war" Nogi Hinomi. Now it is a leased land in Kanto Prefecture, Japan. There is a huge sun flag on the fortress, so the Kanto Army is named.

The ship was delayed for three days at Lushunkou, and the clouds cleared and the sun rose, so he continued to travel east. When he passed by Weihaiwei, he could vaguely see Liugong Island, but the rice flag was floating. The base of the Beiyang Navy has become a British colony. Qin Beiyang remembered his grandfather who died in battle on Liugong Island.

Late at night, sail to the middle point of the China-Japan route. Qin Beiyang walked to the deck with Jiu Color. In the dark and vast sea, there was a lighthouse full of light: Mount Damo.

It was Anna's hometown, the burial place where the Boxer indemnity was millions of silver. He almost forgot that "Earl of Mount Damo" was his fiefdom. Now, he is the number one wanted criminal of the Beiyang government, with nothing but Jiuse.

The next day, the ship entered the Korean Strait. The sailor said that he found a small boat on the sea. Qin Beiyang was lying on the railing and saw a burning small steamboat, and a pair of men and women waving and jumping.

The captain ordered the lifeboat to be put down and rescued two adults and two young children. When they climbed onto the passenger deck in a mess, Qin Beiyang recognized Xiaomu and Hainu's faces.

Although Xiaomu has long hair, his broken fingers on his left hand will not lie. The two breast-feeding boys must be Ouyang Sicong's youngest son and Anna's half-brother.

International student Zhou was a translator for the sea drifter. Hainu and Xiaomu called themselves husband and wife, and their two children called Xiaomu a father. Hainu told the captain that they encountered a steam engine failure when they went out to sea and drifted to this sea area with the flow.

Qin Beiyang guessed that the sea girl who was guarding Xiaomu on Mount Bodhidharma was in love with her imprisoned partner for a long time, but she gave up her duties. Not only did she elope and took away her two children. No wonder, how could a mother give up her children? She just accompanied Xiaomu in danger and almost died at the sea. She was also crazy.

He didn't want to expose the lies of the sea girl, because he was also a fake person.

Xiaomu, who had been drifting on the sea for three days and three nights, was glad that he had escaped from death, happened to see Qin Beiyang's face in the crowd.

Xiaomu once again despaired, as if he had just crawled out of the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty from the Bailuyuan Cemetery.

The "family of four" of Hai Nu and Xiao Mu were placed in the crew cabin. They did not dare to run to the deck or run into Qin Beiyang again. Xiao Mu was afraid of being burned to death by the nine-colored glass fireballs.

The next day, I saw the distant shadow of the green mountains of the Japanese archipelago on the bow. On the right is Kyushu Island, on the left is Honshu Island, and on the middle is the Makun Strait. The mountains on both sides of the strait are towering, and there are countless factories on the sides of the strait. The chimneys spray black peony-like smoke. They are praised by a poet as a famous flower of the 20th century and Yanmu of modern civilization. The Seto Inland Sea has beautiful scenery, and they pass by the Great Torii of Itsuji Shrine, one of the three Japanese scenic spots. The scattered islands, green mountains and blue sea, are completely different from the monotonous earthy yellow color in northern China.

In the misty rain and twilight, Kobe Port has arrived, which is different from Shanghai.

Qin Beiyang held Jiuse, carried a shoulder pole with a Tang sword hidden in his back, picked up Qi Yuanshan's passport, and stepped onto Japan's land.

However, Xiaomu and Hainu disappeared, including two young sons, and I don’t know where to escape?

The crew members searched everywhere, and Qin Beiyang understood that it was futile. Xiaomu was a tomb robber, good at hiding and digging, and the sea girl even dived like a flat ground. Even if she ran away with her two children, it was not something that ordinary people could find.

There are countless rickshaws on the pier. It turns out that they were invented by the Japanese. They took passengers to the train station, then moved to Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama and other places. When Qin Beiyang first arrived in Japan, the road ahead was vast, and he walked with nine colors to a remote coast.

Suddenly, a wet woman emerged from the sea water, with her long hair swaying like a mermaid, and her body curves were revealed.

It turns out to be a sea girl!

She also saw Qin Beiyang and was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. Then, a man with long hair climbed ashore. It was indeed Xiaomu. He was holding a lifebuoy and tied up his two children with a rope.

The sea girl, Xiaomu's hair dripping with water, knelt in front of Qin Beiyang. Anyone who sees it will mistakenly think it is a young couple, and the family of four is fleeing.

Qin Beiyang pulled out the Tang sword from the shoulder pole, as if he wanted to chop off the heads of the man and woman. Jiuse also stared at Xiaomu fiercely, almost biting his head nearly a year ago. It was this little tomb robber who broke into the Tang Dynasty Cemetery Palace in Bailuyuan, causing the young Qilin tomb-controlling beast to be shot down by machine guns, and he entered the coffin of the tomb owner...

If you are unforgivable, heaven will be punished by the earth!

"Please forgive us!" Xiaomu looked at the boy in front of him, thinking of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty in the coffin. His face was fascinating. "It was not that I wanted to escape on purpose, but that the assassins went to the island and opened the cellar that imprisoned me."

The sea girl hugged her youngest son in her arms and said, "They are all scumbags."

"Assassin kills people like a slap!" Qin Beiyang looked at Xiaomu and Hainu like a ghost: "Why are you still alive?"
