Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli's tone was cold, with a strong killing intent, Shan Hu who was following behind listened, thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go to Kulun? Dig out these beasts one by one! "

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said, "Huzi, you don't need to go in person. Anyway, the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who burned the Tang's nest store are in the prisoner-of-war camp. Sooner or later they will be found out. The blood debt owed must be repaid. Let's go." Bar!"

The convoy returned along the mountain road when they came, and the hometown full of weeds gradually faded away, and finally disappeared in the shadow of a dark blue pine forest. Tang Qiuli's heart felt lost. Maybe, he would never come back here again in this life. Shanhu said: "Huzi, if you go back to Dingbian, no one can tell about this matter, lest my uncle Huang and others will be sad, let the fathers and villagers in Dingbian keep a thought in your heart!"

The convoy drove into Sanchahe Town, and it was already sunset. According to Tang Qiuli's instructions, he didn't bother the local garrison or the local county government. Instead, he found a small hotel in the town. Rest in rest, and return to Sanchahe after a few years of separation. In the memories of Tang Qiuli and Shanhu, Sanchahe Town at that time was the economic, cultural, and political center with a radius of hundreds of miles. The children of Jiawopu can follow their parents to Sanchahe to go to the market. They are as happy as Chinese New Year. After returning, they can show off in front of their friends for several days!The current Sanchahe Town has not changed much compared to the original one. It is still a long dirt street with businesses and shops on both sides. The most obvious difference is the Japanese residences with plaster flags, rampant Japanese ronin, All disappeared, the faces of people passing by on the street. ..With joy, from time to time, I saw a group of soldiers from the Independent Division patrolling the street with neat steps.

Small towns, small hotels, everything is so comfortable, although the owner of the hotel has never seen the big world.But when I saw a row of four or five jeeps, all of them were soldiers, wearing military uniforms, and I couldn't tell how old they were.But everyone is very popular.Especially the gray-haired young man at the head, with a frightening figure between glances, knowing that the guests were unusual, he greeted Tang Qiuli and his party with a big smile on his face, greeted the guys loudly, and brought The guest goes to the room.Prepare meals to show the enthusiasm of the Northeast people.

After Tang Qiuli and the others entered the guest room, the boss, who was over 50 years old, called over a guy with very clever features, and whispered something in his ear.The guy ran out quickly, fat boss.Looking around, he was still very strange, that young man.It seems that you are only in your 20s, so how come you have gray hair?Dinner is an ordinary home-cooked dish in Northeast China, but stewed pork vermicelli with sauerkraut and a large bowl of stewed Songhua River white fish with sauce made Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu whet their appetites, "Huzi, stewed pork vermicelli with sauerkraut , I eat it often, and Mei Ting and the others make it for me in different ways, but I haven’t eaten the Songhua River white fish stewed in sauce for many years!” Tang Qiuli said to the mountain while picking vegetables into his mouth. Tiger said.

Shanhu's eating habits were even more ferocious than Tang Qiuli's. With his mouth full of pork, he replied vaguely: "It's not a big deal. Over the years, I have traveled all over the world and eaten a lot of things, but I just feel that , not as smooth as our Northeast dishes, look at how fresh this white fish is! I dare say it took less than a day to catch it!"

A dozen or so people were eating happily. At this time, a group of soldiers came in from the outside. After arriving in the shop, they took a precautionary posture. The leader was a captain and a young man in plain clothes. The hotel owner hurriedly greeted them. Go over, whisper a few times, and then pout at Tang Qiuli and the others!

In fact, this group of soldiers was discovered by the special guards when they were still far away from the hotel, and they reported to Shanhu, who secretly praised, "Unexpectedly, the garrison in Sanchahe is very vigilant! The reaction is fast enough!"...

Seeing the soldiers coming in, Shanhu whispered: "Xiaoqiu, it seems that the garrison of Sanchahe has found strange armed personnel, and they are very vigilant. No, they came to the door!"

Tang Qiuli was very satisfied with the vigilance of the Du garrison. Also, four or five vehicles, a group of strangers who were obviously soldiers, and armed with weapons. If the local garrison did not respond, it would be the most angry and worrying thing for him , "Huzi, you deal with it, don't expose me!" He whispered to Shanhu.

The captain and the young man in plain clothes pressed their hands on the pistols at their waists and walked up to Tang Qiuli and them. The captain asked politely but vigilantly: "We are the Sanchahe Town Security Force. Excuse me, which part are you from?" Please show your ID!" When the captain asked, the young man in casual clothes, with sharp eyes, kept looking at a dozen people. In his opinion, this group of people was very dangerous. Everyone was covered with blood. Breath, the origin is not simple!

Shanhu stood up, took out the ID card and handed it over. The captain opened the ID card and saw that he was shocked at the time, and hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, "Reporting to the commander, Wang Shiquan, the commander of the Sanchahe Guard Company of the No. 12 Brigade of the Independent Division East Pointer, is leading The zero troops are interrogating strangers, please give instructions to Commander Huang!"

In the independent division, Shan Hu's reputation may not be much less than Tang Qiuli's. Everyone knows that beside the division commander, there is a highly skilled captain of the security team, Huang Shanhu, who is a legendary figure. The name, the shadow of the tree, the name of "Crazy Tiger", everyone knows it!

The captain didn't know Shanhu, but his certificate couldn't be faked. The young man in casual clothes was different. Just now, the oil lamp in the store was flickering, and the light was dim, so he couldn't see clearly. When Shanhu stood up, He immediately recognized it, and stepped forward to stand at attention, "Report to Captain Huang, Qu Shiqiang, the leader of the investigation team of the Independent Division's investigation office stationed in Sanchahe, is assisting Company Commander Wang in performing official duties, please give me instructions!"

"Shen Jun's subordinates, no wonder they look vigilant!" Shanhu murmured to himself, "Company Commander Wang and Team Leader Qu, please don't be too polite. I came to Sanchahe this time to carry out a secret mission, so I can warn you two. Ah, don't reveal my whereabouts!" He ordered in a low voice.

The soldiers in the garrison left quickly, and Shanhu said to Tang Qiuli: "Xiaoqiu, Deputy Commander Liu's troops are very good! That guy Shen Jun's men are all over the Northeast, good guy, even Sanchahe It’s not easy to have an investigation team!”

Tang Qiuli said in a low voice: "What I value more is the vigilance of the owner of this hotel. I guess, as soon as we entered the hotel, he sent someone to report! Huzi, didn't the special guard find it?"

Shanhu smiled and didn't make a sound, but secretly murmured in his heart: "When the guy from the inn went out, the two special guards followed closely behind him and followed him all the way. If he finds that it is not good for Xiaoqiu, he will take action immediately, even this He has no ability at all, and there is no need for special guards to exist!"

That night, Tang Qiuli couldn't sleep. The big fire pit in the northeast was burning warmly, but he couldn't sleep when lying on it, tossing and turning. Everything he saw during the day, the hometown that disappeared in the wild grass, stabbed him time after time. In his heart, the past scenes are reflected in his mind, and the bits and pieces gather to form a rough sea, roaring and rushing in his heart, stirring his disturbed thoughts. It seems that there is another expectation, calling himself in the distance!

Tossing and turning, Tang Qiuli didn't fall asleep until it was daylight. In his sleep, he clearly dreamed about many things in the past. When he woke up and opened his eyes, he was stung by a vast expanse of whiteness outside the window. , it turned out to be snowing!

Quickly dressed and got up, in the courtyard of the hotel, in the falling snowflakes like powder, Shan Hu and the special guards had completed the daily training that they had to do every day. The hot air exuded white mist, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqiu, I saw that you were still asleep, so I didn't call you up. It seems that I may not be able to walk today. Look at the snow, almost all the roads are blocked, his mother Yes, the first snow this winter fell so heavily!"...

"No, Huzi, let's go according to the original plan and not delay in Sanchahe!" Tang Qiuli shook his head and said without doubt.

Shanhu hesitated for a moment. According to the weather conditions, it would be very dangerous to travel, especially to the Huangni River in Nanman. He knew why Xiao Qiu was in such a hurry to leave, he sighed secretly, and gave the special guards an order to leave after breakfast!

The convoy left Sanchahe Town, braved the snowflakes that sometimes shattered and swayed, and sometimes flew all over the sky, and braved the whistling north wind, and galloped towards the southwest. They were all shrouded in a vast expanse of whiteness. In Tang Qiuli's memory, it was the first time he saw that the first snowfall in the Northeast winter was so heavy, similar to the heavy snowfall in the twelfth lunar month of winter!

The closer he got to the Huangni River, the more gloomy Tang Qiuli's face became. Shanhu saw it and could only feel sorry for him in his heart, but he didn't have any words to comfort his good brother at this time. He just told the special guard who was driving to , drive the car more smoothly.

Two days later, the convoy finally arrived in the Huangnihe area of ​​Nanman. The first snow of this year also fell for two whole days, and there was no sign of a sunny day. In a small village with no more than twenty households, The convoy stopped, and there was no way for the jeep to go any further.

Tang Qiuli jumped out of the car and said to Shanhu: "Huzi, let the troops rest in this village for a while, and don't let anyone follow me. I'll go alone!"

Shanhu nodded silently, did not speak, turned around from the jeep, took out a cotton coat, and put it on Tang Qiuli's body. The captain of the special security team who led the team was in a hurry. How could the teacher go into the deep mountains and old forests alone? ?

Just as he was about to object, Shanhu glared at him fiercely. The sky was full of snow, the mountains and forests were all white, and his back seemed so lonely. Walking on the snow-covered mountain road, his vision gradually became blurred. Shanhu and ten Several special guards stood in the snow, watching Tang Qiuli walk away step by step!
