Emerald pupil

"Muyang..." Wang Ping didn't know what was going on, and when she heard his identity, she blurted out without thinking. In fact, she didn't have any reasoning, it was just a purely intuitive first reaction.

Unexpectedly, when Mu Kai heard Wang Ping's words, his eyes lit up, he looked at Wang Ping, and said with a slight smile, "So you already know."

He nodded: "That's right, my grandfather is exactly Mu Yang."

At this time, Wu Tai's mother Mu Min and Wu Tai also came over, their eyes were red, and they both seemed to have cried.Hearing Mu Kai's words, Mu Min smiled gently at everyone: "It's embarrassing for us to run around because of some housework in our Mu family. Since Wu Tai also asked me just now, our ancestor Mu Is Yang really a sinner of history? Since everyone is here and you have seen this cemetery, let me tell you what I know." When she said this, she suddenly paused, Looking at the middle-aged general wearing ordinary military uniform behind him, a soldier with his head bowed said, "You finally know that you are going to rescue Wu Tai, so come out, and we should understand the grievances we have had for so many years."

Both Wang Ping and Wu Tai looked at the direction of Mu Min's speech in astonishment, until the figure of the man moved, Wu Tai suddenly shouted: "Abba!"

A chunky figure gradually walked out from behind the middle-aged general, with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face, he smiled at Mu Min and said, "Minmin, you are always like this, you can't leave me alone in front of the children." face?"

The middle-aged Burmese man, who had not spoken before, gave way to the figure of General Meng Nai behind him.Then he stepped aside and nodded to General Meng Nai.

General Meng Nai waved his hand at him, and walked up to Mu Min: "Min Min, you know I have always had you in my heart. Ask Wu Tai, a brat, if someone left him notes after you disappeared Article, remind him to pay attention."

Wu Tai was still wary towards General Meng Nai, but he couldn't help showing surprise when he heard this: "That mysterious man is you, Dad?" He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't close it for a long time.

General Meng Nai glanced back at Utai.He feigned anger and said: "You stupid boy don't even think about it, how could someone come and go without a trace, leave a note in your desk without leaving any traces under my eyes, do you really think so?" The soldiers under my hands are useless! Of course, your father asked them to do this, so no one told you that they saw a figure go in and put the note. Because they put it themselves!"

"Abba!" Utai called out, hugging General Meng Nai happily like a child.

It's great that Mom and Dad are finally here again.

Although...although...he still couldn't understand why his father didn't know how to help him find out his mother, but instead had to outflank it, making it so mysterious that he had to guess for a long time...but he pressed down on this idea as soon as it was born up.He didn't want to doubt his father again.I had no choice but to find reasons for him, maybe... maybe... Dad wanted to train me... maybe... aunt and second mother didn't like Dad going to my grandmother... Dad always had his own reasons.

But Du Jiangwen, who was tied to the ground, didn't seem to want to do what Wu Tai wanted.She grinned and said with a sneer: "General Meng Nai, at this point in time, do you still want to lie to Miss and Young Master? After all, Young Master and you are like father and son, and you can be deceived by lies like yours, but you Ask Miss, does she still believe in you?"

"Hehehe, young master. Your father doesn't care about Miss's life or death. I don't know what Miss found out what you did back then, but this time Miss doesn't need to tell. I can guess that your purpose of doing this is not To save Miss! You and I have the same purpose, but it's just for those days... ho ho... ho"

Before Du Jiangwen finished speaking, General Meng Nai suddenly stepped up and kicked her away. Immediately, the soldier behind him walked over and pinched her neck with his hands, dislocating both sides of her jaw immediately. Du Jiangwen No longer able to speak, only ho ho ho ho, she held her chin and looked in pain.

"Abba, what are you doing!" Wu Tai couldn't help asking sharply.

"Wutai, do you still want to hear what this bitch is sowing discord? She is hiding evil intentions. Your mother and I had such a good relationship back then, just because this dead bitch kept saying bad things about me in her ears." , aroused your mother's speculation, which made our happy family of three into what it is today. Have you forgotten what she did?" General Meng Nai said to Utai with a righteous face.

"Ho... ho ho..." As soon as he stopped, Du Jiangwen lay on the ground and made an extremely excited voice, glaring at Meng Nai non-stop, but no one could understand what she wanted to express.

Mu Min slowly shook her head at Meng Nai: "Aren't you still determined?" She paused, turned her head to the crowd, looked at Wu Tai again, and finally fixed her eyes on Wu Tai, her voice was as gentle as water : "Where did I just say that? By the way, the story of Mu Yang is not finished yet. What Jiang Wen told you is actually only the first half of the ancestors. I only knew the second half of the story after I got to know Mu Kai."

Mu Min began to whisper the story of the last century. Her voice was gentle and slow, like flowing water gently flowing through everyone's hearts: "You should have heard Jiang Wen say that she went to the kitchen to get supper that night. But I accidentally heard my father talking on the phone. After she came back and told me, I kept my mind on it and kept looking for opportunities to ask him about my grandfather. After asking a few times at the beginning, my father was very upset. Angrily told me not to mention it again, but later I accidentally discovered that he was talking on the phone with a few Japanese people. Of course I was very angry, so I rushed straight into the study and told my father that I didn't know what he said to the Japanese. I heard."

"Father was taken aback and thought I really knew something, so he stopped hiding and told me everything he knew."

"It turned out that the descendants of Shojiro Iida's family in Japan came to him and threatened him to find the treasure that Mu Yang left in Myanmar for the Japanese. At that time, the Kokang District was in chaos, and the situation in Myanmar was also very chaotic. Those The Japanese took me as a blackmail. They even threatened my father that if he didn't hand over the treasure, he would reveal the truth that we are descendants of Muyang. There are descendants who died in that war in our town , if it is revealed, I am afraid that Dad's position in the Kokang District will not be stable. So after discussing with me, Dad decided to pretend to agree to them first."

"Father handed me two pieces of ancient jade, and told me that Muyang's diary said that there was a map to find the treasure map in the two pieces of ancient jade. After my father and I promised the Japanese, we faced the two Gu Yu thinks about it day and night, and researches day and night but still gets nothing. Unexpectedly, one night, the patience of the Japanese gradually disappeared, and they wanted to kidnap me and force Dad to hand over the map."

"My father and I were also careless. We thought that if we agreed to them, we could delay it for a while, but I didn't expect the Japanese to be so cunning. Here we agreed. After we relaxed our vigilance, they knocked me out and took me out. .”

Hearing this, Wu Tai hurriedly asked nervously, "Are you okay, Mom?"

Mu Min smiled at Wu Tai and shook his head, then looked up at Meng Nai who had been staring at him, and said with a wry smile: "Later I met your father. At that time your father told me that he happened to be I brought people to hunt in the mountains. I didn’t expect to see a few people carrying me sneaking past the mountain. He sent people to ask questions. Who knew that those people couldn’t speak Burmese, so he became suspicious. He detained them. I got off and woke me up again. Only then did I realize that I was kidnapped by these Japanese."

"Later those Japanese were handed over to the Japanese embassy and repatriated. Your father came to ask for marriage, and your grandfather agreed. Because at that time I thought your father was the hero who saved me, and he treated me very well. Alright, so although there are many differences in living habits, I have endured them one by one. I will have you soon."

"But who knew that two years later, those Japanese didn't give up and returned to Myanmar again. This time they directly murdered my father, and they tortured him to question him. Knowing the secret of the two pieces of ancient jade, I also learned that my father took the two pieces of ancient jade as my dowry and sent me to Bhamo. So these bold Japanese lurked quietly and wanted to take the opportunity to snatch me when I came back for the funeral. Ancient jade."

"Based on the experience and lessons from last time, this time I go home for the funeral. Although I don't know what the Japanese are up to, I dare not be careless. I let my cats eat all the food and drinking water served at home." Try it before eating."

"One night I found that my cat was drowsy after eating the tea brought to me by the servant at home, and fainted after a while. Then I realized that those Japanese were going to start their hands..."

Wang Ping noticed that when Mu Min said this, General Meng Nai's expression became subtle, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to explain something, but he couldn't say anything.

"I followed the plan, notified the guards at my home, made arrangements, and then pretended to faint, trying to tell those Japanese to go and never return this time, to avenge my father! But I never thought that the Japanese Mantis Catch the cicada, but my good husband is that oriole, waiting for the opportunity to wait behind!"

"Meng Nai, do you think I fainted at that time, so I jumped out after the Japanese captured me, forced them to hand over two pieces of ancient jade, and then killed me to silence me?" Mu Min He raised his head, looked straight into Meng Nai's eyes and continued word by word, "Since I knew that my grandpa is not my aunt's real son, but a treacherous Burmese traitor who betrayed his country and relatives and friends. At that time, I was disheartened. But I met you at that time, and you rescued me from the clutches of a god like a god. Since then, my heart has stuck to you. But who I know that the one entrusted to her for life is not a lover, but a thief with evil intentions!"

"You dare to swear to God, didn't you know the legends about Mu Yang at that time, so you came here? Originally, you also wanted to use the army to force our Mu family to hand over the map, but I didn't expect you to be lucky. , You found out that you accidentally saved Mu Yang's descendants. So you plan to use your tricks and use your beauty tricks. Anyway, you Burmese men can marry many wives. You obviously have two wives in your family, but you Still pretending that you don’t know the rules of our Han people, propose marriage to my dad. On the one hand, my dad is afraid of the power of your family, and on the other hand, he also sees that I like you, so he nodded and agreed.”

"After marriage, you have been obedient to me. You don't know your first wife and second wife. And because I am a Han woman, I am extremely afraid of me. Since then, I have planted a thorn in my heart, and will run against us everywhere in the future to make things difficult for our mother and son."

"I closed my eyes, and after clearly hearing the conversation between you and those Japanese, my heart was ashamed. My father died because of these ridiculous treasures. The beloved who I thought could be entrusted for life is a liar with ulterior motives. If it weren't for There is little Wutai, what am I still alive for? Since then, my heart has been ashamed, since your wives don’t like me, and you are ruthless to me, why should I stay in that home...... "Mu Min turned his head and smiled at Wu Tai. The smile fell on Wang Ping's eyes, but she felt very bleak. She only heard Mu Min say to Wu Tai. "Wutai, you have to remember that you are half of Han blood. If you still recognize this mother in the future, don't marry many wives like your father. Only one wife is enough. We Han people don't have many. wife."

Wu Tai looked at his mother and nodded: "Mom, from now on I don't have a father. I only need one relative, and I will be a Han nationality like you in the future. I will only marry one wife!"

Mu Min nodded in satisfaction: "Good boy!"

Meng Nai listened anxiously at the side: "Minmin, don't be like this. You know, I have you in my heart. I admit that when I went to Kokang, it was indeed to find the treasure left by the Japanese to Mu Yang. Yes, but after I got to know you, all my heart went to you, not because of Lao Zi’s gold, silver and jewelry. It’s just that those Japanese people went too far. I'm going to attack you! I'm a man. If I can't protect my wife and children, what kind of man is I? Of course I will kill them to avenge you and your father. Didn't I return the two pieces of ancient jade to you later? Don't listen to that bitch Jiang Wen talking nonsense, she just said that I can't solve the secrets in the ancient jade, so she will return the ancient jade to you, and she wants you, a descendant of Muyang, to study it. This is completely It's her trap, don't fall for it!"

Mu Min looked at Meng Nai and sighed leisurely: "Whether this is a trap or not, we both know each other in our hearts. Maybe you have a little affection for me, but it's not deep enough to make you give up this piece of land for me. Treasure. So you said you put a note to remind Utai, I believe it. But why didn't you come to rescue me yourself, but let our son take risks?"

Mu Min's tone has always been light and calm, gentle and indifferent, neither slow nor ill, without a hint of coercion, but Meng Nai couldn't say a word under her soothing and peaceful tone, and her forehead was even more so. A few drops of sweat oozed out.

Mu Min smiled indifferently: "I think, you want to use your son's hand to lure me to tell me where the treasure is hidden. After all, you may have noticed my suspicion of you, but you think I will never For the sake of the treasure, you hurt your son, so you lead our son to discover the past of the Japanese army and Mu Yang, and let him take the risk alone, just expect me to reveal the location of the treasure to my son, don’t you?”

"No... no... no... I have arranged for people to protect you, and those people Jiang Wen invited to help me included my people..." The truth that Meng Nai revealed in a hurry made everyone's face Everyone on the screen showed suddenly realized expressions, only Wu Tai was pale, and he looked at General Meng Nai, heartbroken: "Abba, is it really you?"

Meng Nai let out a long sigh, lowered his head and said nothing more.

At this time, Mu Kai, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "It's a pity, I didn't expect that my grandfather would leave so many disputes after he went to the United States. I should have come back sooner if I knew."

"Actually, you all misunderstood my grandfather. He is a good man and a real hero."

Mu Min nodded, and introduced to everyone: "This is Mu Yang's descendant in the United States. When Jiang Wen came to see me, I actually had some vague doubts about her. But I still don't want to believe that she will Betrayed me for those treasures, but as the saying goes, one learns one’s wisdom. After what happened to the Japanese and Meng Nai, I couldn’t trust anyone. It happened that Mu Kai came to me at that time, so I asked him to follow me Go to the hospital with me. Later, he arranged for me to escape from Jiang Wen. He is the regional intelligence liaison officer of the World Customs Organization and has always had a good relationship with the Myanmar government, so we found out that there is Meng Nai here. The troops under the general's command were mobilized, so I asked Mu Kai to take me to take a look, and sure enough, I ran into you."

Hearing what Mu Min said, Wang Ping couldn't help but secretly looked at the half-breed boy, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes.He has a high nose, which is very different from the general appearance of Burmese or Chinese, but it can still be seen from his gestures that he still has a bit of imagination with Mu Min in his facial features.

"When did you know each other?" Meng Nai couldn't help asking, still somewhat disbelieving this brother-in-law who appeared out of nowhere.

Mu Kai, like Mu Min, seems to have a good temper, so facing Meng Nai's questioning, he just smiled gently: "Ten years ago, but at that time Mu Min already lived in Bhamo, so you It may not be clear."

Meng Nai waited to ask again.Mu Min had already started to continue talking, he secretly held back a glance at Mu Min, then curled his lips and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"After my father passed away, I sorted out his relics for him. Unexpectedly, I found a notebook left by Mu Yang in the study of the old Mu family. Mu Yang wrote in Chinese on it that he later learned about the Japanese. Ambitious and aware of the big mistakes he made, he switched to the Allied Forces before General Aung San. However, Sun Liren, the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force at that time, asked him to stay in the Japanese camp as a spy for them. So Mu Yang began to live the life of a double agent."

"Until the Japanese retreated. Mu Yang took the wealth that the Japanese plundered from Asian countries and secretly returned it to the countries through the Allied Forces. But knowing that doing so would definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Mu family, so he left Mu As a missing person, he went to the United States under the arrangement of the U.S. Army, changed his appearance, lived and worked in the United States with another identity, married a wife and had children."

"In this diary, he also specifically noted the sources of the two pieces of ancient jade, Yutun and Yuchan. In fact, they did not come from the treasures looted by the Japanese, but from the heritage of Prince Mu's Mansion. Unintentionally found a mechanism that can be opened. After closing, it fits perfectly. If the person who doesn't know the key can't see his crack at all, it can be described as a wonderful workmanship."

"According to Mu Yang's deduction, this should be the skill of ancient craftsmen, but it has disappeared in the endless river of history."

When Wang Ping heard this, she thought of the jade porpoise that had been cut in half, and the jade cicada that had fallen into Du Jiangwen's hands, half of the map was taken out, and now she didn't know where the pieces were.I couldn't help but regret for a while.If I had been more careful then, I would have checked it carefully.Don't just make an arbitrary decision when you see those two pieces of silk paper and encourage Wu Tai to cut them in half. Maybe the two pieces of ancient jade can be preserved intact, and even the secret of the huge energy contained in it can be deciphered.

Mu Min didn't know what Wang Ping was thinking. Her voice was flat, and she continued to talk with a unique sense of vicissitudes: "Mu Yang's ancestor probably saw through human nature. He deliberately left clues back then. In fact, there is something hidden inside. It is the place where the Chinese Expeditionary Army died in battle, and I hope that future generations can find their remains and bury them for them in search of treasures, which is the place in front of you.”

"So there is no huge wealth left by the Japanese at all?" Meng Nai's voice was hoarse, revealing deep regret. He looked at the damaged cemetery in front of everyone, showing a smile that was not a smile, and wanted to cry. A tearless expression.

Jiang Wen, who was lying on the ground, heard their conversation, and there was a sharp and painful hiss in his throat...

At this moment, neither Wang Ping nor the crowd paid any attention to them, they just silently looked at the land where heroes were buried...

After Wang Ping returned to Yangon, she also visited the cemetery of Japanese World War II soldiers in the suburbs of Myanmar.For this loser in World War II, they built a majestic cemetery in Burma for the fallen soldiers, and even engraved their names on the horses.At that time, both Chinese and Japanese suffered equally heavy casualties, but now only the monuments built by the Japanese come into view.The green lawn is covered with black square tombstones, neatly arranged, just like the queue when they went to the battlefield. It seems that they have never died.

But Wang Ping couldn't help but think of the pile of bones she accidentally dug up in the barren ruins of Myitkyina, scattered in the soil, without tombstones or grave mounds, only weeds and a few vegetable fields opened up by the locals.Most of them still maintained the last posture before they died, and some of them still held bayonets in their hands, standing upright unyieldingly, but all these were easily shattered due to the weathering of the years.

More important than the monument of reality is the monument of people's hearts.Although the Chinese were buried in this land as fighting against fascism, after the war, due to the vagueness of historical cognition and long-term forgetting, they became marginalized instead.

"After the war, the most people in Myanmar were Chinese and Japanese. The Japanese all came to worship, and the Chinese all came to do timber and emerald business. I know so many Chinese, and you are the first to tell me about it. The person who tells the story of the Chinese Expeditionary Army." Wu Tai walked to Wang Ping's side and said in a low voice.

Together with her, I looked at the cemetery of Japanese fallen soldiers. In front of them was a cemetery guarded and managed by special personnel. The garden was lined with trees, decorated with flowers, and duckweed floated in the pool, showing the beauty of the Japanese style garden with small bridges and flowing water.And when he recalled those unknown soldiers who had half the same blood as himself buried their bones in other lands, but still threw their corpses in the wilderness, unable to rest in the ground, Wutai only felt that the scene at that time was indescribably desolate and desolate.

For more than half a century, the bodies of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force have gone through the erosion of time and human destruction, and have been buried in the jungles of northern Myanmar, leaving future generations with nowhere to pay homage.After the scouring of time, deliberate forgetting and the wave of anti-Chinese in the 60s, the Chinese cemetery in Myanmar was almost completely destroyed.

Japan has built majestic cemeteries for dead soldiers in Burma. Every dead soldier is respected to the utmost, and even the horses are engraved with their names.Today, the Burmese know more about the "colonists" and "invaders" than they do about the Chinese expeditionary force, even though the latter made great sacrifices for peace here.This is a historical memory contest that has been seldom noticed but silently lagging behind for more than half a century.

Although Wang Ping didn't want to admit it, she felt sad for her country at this moment.Compared with the heroes who were buried here half a century ago, she seems to be pursuing only material wealth and worldly fame and fortune when she returned to her life, and she almost lost herself after going around.

"Let's go." Wu Tai broke the suffocating silence, he said to Wang Ping.

"Okay." Wang Ping nodded, and followed Wu Taian into a car, up a small hill in the cemetery, and there was an inscription in the pavilion on the uphill.

Seeing the English and Japanese on the inscription, Wang Ping and Wu Tai fixed their eyes on it: "Although the war failed, we will always remember the sacrifices made by Japanese soldiers for the country."

Starting from the Japanese cemetery and ending from the Japanese cemetery, it seems that this is also the end, and it will eventually converge into a not so beautiful circle.

"Let's go, tomorrow is the last day of public trading, I think you should go?"

Wang Ping forced a smile to Wu Tai: "I still remember that you promised me to go to the mine to pick a rough stone for free, so don't play tricks."

Wutai waved his hand, as if to shake off the haze that had been hanging over their hearts all this time: "Let's go, when have I cheated?"

The two turned around together, and behind them was a group of tall and unyielding green pines standing motionless in the wind.

postscript:

Mu Kai formally notified the Chinese government of the cemetery of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Myitkyina through diplomatic channels. In 07, Wang Zhiping, the father of Wang Yushun, the president of the Expeditionary Force and Descendants Association in Myanmar, a 94-year-old veteran of the Expeditionary Force, finally came to the land where he had fought with his comrades back then, and took his comrades’ corpses back to the motherland Hometown, buried in peace.

After returning to China, Wang Ping also asked Fang Hua to use the power of the company to collect images of veterans in the name of patriotic overseas Chinese as a legacy for future generations. She also bought a batch of commemorative medals and found the Chinese Expeditionary Army to give to the dying veterans to fulfill her last wish. .

Afterwards, she and Fang Hua used part of the profits every year to set up the Chinese Anti-Japanese Veterans Support Fund, and used the money to fill the guns of the Japanese invaders and consume the devils’ money for their own flesh and blood during World War II. Ammunition, veterans of the defense of the country help. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

ps: I don’t know if you will find it boring to read the latest chapters?At the beginning, I wrote a paragraph because I wanted to write something different because I read the "Antique Bureau Middle Game" mentioned before. I didn't want to repeat the gambling stones that have been written badly, so I added ancient jade and adventure suspense. But I didn’t expect that I was not strong enough to write, and I was very dissatisfied with what I wrote. Instead, when I was researching the history of Myanmar, I dug up such materials, and my tears fell when I saw it, so I arranged it into the plot. .At this point, pay tribute to the passing Chinese Expeditionary Force!
