Chapter 351 Confusion and Predicament (03)

Regardless of whether the interrogation had caused any bad influence on Si Xuanyi's heart, he did not show it. He was not someone who would be easily scrutinized by others. No matter what, his daily work had to continue. Under the main premise, he is not confused and knows which is more important. He can't bear these small grievances, but he also knows that this is not a simple misunderstanding or misunderstanding. A large part of the reason is the result of internal power disputes. He just wasn't ready to be a victim.

Within a few days, they got the news that the Japanese found an ancient tomb of the Warring States Period in Shandong, which seemed to be the tomb of a certain prince. It is said that there was a set of coffins inlaid with gold and jade, and there was an egg inside the coffin. Ye Mingzhu, the local treasure protection team fought fiercely with the Japanese army who went to steal the treasure for two days and two nights, but in the end the mission failed, and the Japanese still used the things. Only some bronzes and some jades were recovered.

"Do we have to go and grab the things back?" Li Siming asked Si Xuanyi. According to the usual practice, this is the time for them to go out.

Si Xuanyi smoked a cigarette for a long time before he said: "No, we can't help wherever we have difficulties. Although this is one of our duties, if we continue like this, we won't be able to solve all the problems even if we are too busy. Things must be done by ourselves, and we cannot rely on others for a lifetime. These things must be done by the institutions in various places. We have our own work, we are not their fire brigade, and we don’t have that experience; orders go on, since things are in their hands If it is lost, let them get it back at any cost, solve the difficulty by themselves, think of the way by themselves, and if it fails, follow the military law.”

After these words were finished, all the people present were stunned. They were surprised that Si Xuanyi could say such a thing. It was not because of anything else, but because they had indeed been playing the role of the firefighting team during this period of time, running around Let's go, busy feet hit the back of the head, but there are still urgent calls from all over the place, so that they can't wait to split into several pieces by themselves, but the tasks are not only not reduced because of their busyness, but more and more, and the teams from all over the place also They feel less and less angry, and come to them when they have something to do. At first, they always feel that the teams in various places have not been established for a long time, lack of experience, can't keep up with their work ability, and are in short supply. Now imagine that this is a kind of dependence on them, and it can even be said that it has formed a habit. It is really not an option for them to continue to help. If the treasure protection teams in various places cannot complete the task independently, what is the use of them?Si Xuanyi wanted to understand this truth. Although he was well aware of the difficulties that existed below, some things could not be resolved through sympathy and help, and ultimately depended on themselves. Otherwise, the branches in various places might be reduced to exist in name only.

"It's true to do this, but have you thought about the impact? The following is basically a mess." Li Siming was a little worried.

"There is pressure from all parties. In fact, we are under more pressure than local people. If they can't grow themselves, what's the use of them? After all, the help we provide is limited. If this continues, there will be more people. Things are lost, we must not get the news in a timely manner, judging from the current battle situation, it takes a lot of energy and time for us to rush to various places. Our work often has strong timeliness constraints. The most lacking thing is precisely It’s time. In many cases, it’s too late when we arrive. If local colleagues can grow quickly and take on responsibilities, then the work efficiency in all aspects will be effectively improved. There will definitely be troubles in the early stage, but this is a The process of growing up is the same for them and for us. Let me convey my words first, and then we will discuss it and gradually improve it before forming a formal document and issuing it. Starting next month, we will not send any manpower to help They complete the tasks they should complete, and we will dispatch trained personnel to them from time to time, and all other problems will be solved by themselves." Si Xuanyi pressed the cigarette butt in his hand, "We will concentrate on completing our own tasks For work, unless there is a major incident, we will no longer send manpower, and in future missions, we will conduct inspections around the work from time to time, and we must give them enough pressure."

"You are the boss, you have the final say. If you make a decision, you can issue the document. This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later. The growth of the locality depends on our encouragement and their own efforts. If they even fulfill this requirement No, he is not qualified to keep him, this is a retired soldier."

Of course, Si Xuanyi is not out of his wits. Whether it is feasible or not needs to be approved by the superiors. After careful discussion, they asked the two to make a report and report all their plans and development plans to the superiors. They will not unify until the approval After the document was issued, there was indeed a lot of trouble after the document was issued. There were not a few people who complained, complained, and refused to do it. Si Xuanyi only said one word about these complaints. , Get out immediately, the help from the above is not cut off, but limited, and will not invest as much as before, but will mainly guide the work and provide technical support. Solve it yourself.

At the same time, Si Xuanyi continued to recruit a large number of people, expand the size of the team, recruit capable people in various fields, cultivate professional teams, and then send them to various places to increase the strength of the local teams.

But this does not mean that they will no longer participate in any treasure protection operations. He has kept a few teams and has been running all over the country. He did not become a hands-off shopkeeper for the Japanese's excavation and destruction of ancient tombs. He often followed the team to perform tasks together. Although he was still very busy, he was no longer as chaotic as before. After establishing various internal organizations His workload has been reduced by half, and the work pressure is not as great as before. He only needs to watch the work of several departments. If everything is running normally, he will not be too tired. The job of dealing with the outside world has become smoother and smoother, and the pressure has gradually decreased. During this period of time, he also made some connections, most of whom are close friends of Director Mao. These will help him work in the future. This time He didn't cause any trouble, and Director Mao didn't ask too much, after all, Si Xuanyi was moving closer to him, and he also felt that Si Xuanyi was smarter than before, and knew how to deal with people in this circle, but his behavior seemed He was targeted again by people from the anti-espionage department, but he didn't do anything to him. He was just summoned to hear the news routinely. As for the others, he didn't have any. Although he had a clear conscience and nothing happened, it really made him feel stuck. Panic.

Running away and everything else seemed to be going well. Just when he felt that he finally had a clue about the work, an unexpected accident happened. The whereabouts of the seemingly ordinary Japanese army stealing treasures were unknown. After gathering and analyzing the follow-up intelligence, they discovered that this Japanese army's operation seemed to be a big discovery. A large number of manpower was dispatched. Note that this does not seem to be an ordinary incident. At that time, Si Xuanyi and Li Siming were inspecting the local treasure protection situation in Henan, while the woodcutter and the farmer disappeared outside the customs. Transferred Lin Feng, Ye Feng, and Zhao Chenggong. Of course, the three of them were patrolling in different places. This time, the situation was urgent, so they couldn't take care of so much. The speed rushed to the outside of the pass in the Fengtian round.

Fengtian is Si Xuanyi's hometown. He and Li Siming arrived first. The old man didn't seem to have changed much when he and he left, but there were a lot more devils. The yellow military uniforms all over the street looked very eye-catching. When we got home The whole family couldn't react at all. The housekeeper watched him speechless for a long time. It was not until he greeted the old housekeeper who had watched him grow up that he hugged him and cried loudly. The old man and the old lady saw each other. When I got to him, I couldn't react. The old lady cried and pulled him over to watch him up and down, saying one by one that my son has grown up, crying and laughing.

The old man didn't show much excitement, he just patted him on the shoulder and nodded, with some joy in his eyes, and then immediately ordered the housekeeper to prepare meals to clean up his son.

There has been no news of him for the past two years, and his family misses him immensely, but due to the chaotic current situation, they don’t know where he is at all. The latest letter was sent back when he was in the expeditionary army. There is no other way but to be anxious. I don't know where to find him if I want to find him. In the past two years, the business of the family has not been very good. The old man is stubborn and does not want to associate with the Japanese. The business path has narrowed a lot. There are also some who have fled overseas. Now the business of the family has been reduced by more than half, and they are basically just making a living. They can barely support a large family and a hundred guys. Life is getting more and more difficult, but the old man is still optimistic. In this troubled world There is nothing to worry about if there is food in the middle. Now that the family is still rich, there is nothing to worry about. The little devil will have to leave sooner or later. If there is business in the future, isn’t it just money, as long as you have the ability to worry about not making money?The family business is basically managed by the elder brother. It may take some time for the elder brother to come back after going to Peiping. In the past two years, the elder brother’s personality has changed a lot, and he has become a very authentic businessman. He is no longer as reckless and aggressive as he was when he was a child. .

Seeing the old man's optimistic attitude, Si Xuanyi was relieved a lot, and he also told about his experience in the past two years. Of course, he only gave a rough idea, and didn't mention any dangerous things. Finally, he talked about his current job , He also just said that he was loyal to the country and planned an errand in the military. He didn't talk much about the specifics. He was afraid that the old man would know that he was worried about running around all day with guns and bullets. Most of the things he said were good salary and living conditions. Yes, unexpectedly, the old man was not as happy as he expected. It took a long time for the old man to tell him that his second brother, who had been missing for many years, came back a while ago, and his surname is already Communist. He is now a battalion in the Eighth Route Army. The eldest, the elder is also very happy, after all, the child is promising, but today I heard that Si Xuanyi is somewhat uneasy in the military commander's heart, the two sons seem to have reached the opposite.

Si Xuanyi was naturally happy when the second brother heard the news. Although he heard the old man's worry, he didn't think it was a big deal. No matter what his surname is during the national crisis, it's all under the overall situation of the war of resistance against foreign enemies. As for the rest of the future Besides, it's useless to think about it now anyway.

Although the old man had a knot in his heart, he was still happy because the two sons were finally promising, and the joy was greater than the worry. Unknowingly, the two chatted all night, and finally the old man told Si Xuanyi not to smear when the country was in crisis. For a time of ease, all the sons and daughters of China have the responsibility of defending the land during the War of Resistance. No matter how big or small, as long as you contribute to the overall situation of the War of Resistance, you will not be in vain as a seven-foot man. At the same time, you also tactfully expressed your concerns. If it's killing the Japanese, that's fine. If it's dealing with China, then he doesn't recognize Si Xuanyi's son.

Si Xuanyi didn't expect that his father could understand the important situation. In the end, the old man grabbed his hand and said that he knew that Si Xuanyi was a child who reported good news but not bad news. No matter what he went through, don't forget who you are, and you must pay attention to safety. The family is still waiting for his return.

At that moment, Si Xuanyi finally understood what his father meant. The old man didn't completely believe what he said, but he could tell from the calluses on his hands that he often touched the gun and was worried that he would go astray, so I just said these great principles, I hope he can serve the country, walk the right path, and kill the enemy to serve the country.

Si Xuanyi was in tears. After this long conversation, he realized that now he understood his father's intentions. He thought that his comfort would make his father feel at ease, but he made his father worry even more. He immediately knelt on the ground and solemnly said I swear to my father that I have never done anything to offend the Chinese. I have never done anything before, and I will never do it in the future. The heart that has been hanging has finally been let go.

Because he was worried about the woodcutter and the farmer, he had been a little restless these two days, but the other three people were not in a hurry and did not solve the problem. He and Li Siming could only wait patiently, but Si Xuanyi had been in the past two days. Accompanying my parents, I occasionally took time to take Li Siming out to visit Fengtian City. Although it was an old city, there were devils everywhere and they didn’t get any better. The two brothers talked for a long time, and they hadn't seen each other for at least five years. The children of the elder sister's family were already running all over the place, and Si Xuanyi couldn't help but lamented how quickly life passed.

Li Siming and the old man had very good tempers, and they chatted very happily. In the end, the old man actually wanted to adopt him as a godson. Li Siming knelt down and kowtowed very well. The old man was very happy and took his green finger as a meeting gift. It made Li Siming very embarrassed. He was not prepared at all, and he didn't know what to use to honor the old man. Although he had money, the old man's family was big and big. He didn't need money at all. In the end, he ran to the back of the imperial city and bought a gadget to give away. For the old man, it is a purple sand pot from the palace of the former Qing Dynasty. Although it is not very valuable, it is very delicate. The old man is very happy to accept it. important.
