Chapter 13 Chapter Twelve

Early the next morning, Fan Shitian took A Xue to find something to eat.The rest, stay in that hidden place.From there, a person coming fifty feet down the road could be seen.They can easily hide in the jungle if necessary. When Fan Shitian and A Xue came back, everyone was already up.They brought back lots of hot buns, and a big pot of tea; he paid a small deposit and brought the teapot. After breakfast, everyone felt in good spirits, not least because of the fine weather.Looking down the mountain, they saw a field, and looking south and southeast, there was a big mountain five kilometers away.On their right, looking into the distance is Longgang, surrounded by a black field.There are several major roads and small rivers meeting at Longgang.On the other side of Longgang is the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway, but they can't see it.

At their feet was the Longgang Reservoir, glistening in the morning sun.A river flows eastward from Longgang, cutting the field in front of you in half. There is a mountain over there, and the small town at the foot of the mountain in the southeast is Pingshan.Fan Shitian explained to everyone. In the distance, the hills are undulating, and the sandy yellow gradually fades to blue-gray.A large cirrus cloud covered the peak of Wutong Mountain. We have a long way to go.Fan Shitian said.He was in a low mood today, and the person he was looking for was not at home because he hadn't been notified in advance.According to his family, it may take one or two days before he returns.How did this group of men, women, children, and a white foreigner cross the fields at night?If you pass through several villages, a river, and a road leading to flat mountains, the distance will always be more than ten kilometers.There may be dogs and militiamen in the countryside.They had to take detours, copying cities and highways.Also, how do these people avoid drawing attention?

Fan Shitian's eyes fell on Xiaoya'er's shoes, and he sighed. He needs a better pair of shoes for walking. Yi Su expressed his willingness to go. No, let Ashe take him there, so as not to attract too many people's attention.She knows the way, probably only three miles away, leather shoes are hard to come by now, so buy a pair of sturdier cloth shoes.Axue, you should also change to a pair of better shoes.By the way, take the teapot back and get the deposit back. Axue took Xiao Ya'er down the mountain, and everyone stayed at the original place. Ah Xue took Xiao Ya'er and spent half an hour buying two pairs of shoes in a small town with only one street. in tears.

Ash, what's the matter with you?Why are you crying? Axue couldn't help it anymore, her tears were like water breaking a dam, crying sadly while blowing her nose. why are you cryingthe child asked again. Ah Xue wiped her tears with her sleeve, stretched out a hand, and led the child away. Be careful, we should go back. She held the child's hand tightly, rubbed it, and couldn't help feeling sad again. I used to have a son who was your age.I took your shoes, and I couldn't help her crying loudly. A woman was crying sadly on the road, which attracted some curious people.A policeman walked over slowly and asked indifferently:

What's up? nothing. Where are you from? From Boro. Oh, ready to go there?What's the matter? My family fled in Boluo, and now I am going to Pingshan to seek refuge with relatives.It's all right, comrade. The police made a look of resignation and walked away, while some people who had gathered got out of the way with sympathetic eyes. Poor Boro!One person said: In the past two days, many refugees have fled here. Ashe and the child walked back, thinking that maybe she would meet people in her own village and learn about her husband, maybe Zhang Fu might still be alive and escape like the others.If he hadn't died or been caught, he would definitely have come this way.

She didn't want to go back right away, and stood on a bridge with Xiao Ya'er, where the road from Huiyang passed.In the distance, a car came. Let's wait here. The car was filled with darkness, full of people.When approaching the bridge, the speed slowed down and passed them. Xiao Ya'er had sharp eyes and saw a child behind the car clutching the car tightly. Ah Zhao!Ah Zhao!Little Ya'er shouted. Ah Zhao turned his head, and Xiao Ya'er was desperately chasing after him, waving his little hand. Ah Zhao jumped out of the car, stabilized his body, and ran towards Xiao Ya'er.They hug each other happily.

Where is the pear blossom? I'll take you.How did you get out? I can find my way out, can't I? Ashe had already turned her head and ran towards that small town, she knew the car would definitely stop there. Ashe, Ashe.Xiao Ya'er called her from behind, but Ah Xue ignored him. We have to wait for her. Who is she? Axue came out with us.Look, I have new shoes. Where is the pear blossom?Ah Zhao asked again. Over there on the mountain, not far away. Why is Ashue chasing that car? She wanted to see if there was anyone from Boro. Ashe caught up with the car, and four or five people got out of the car, and she waited anxiously.She didn't know anyone who got off the bus.She squeezed into the car and shouted loudly: Zhang Fu!Zhang Fu!No one agreed.She didn't know anyone in the car.Someone pushed her out of the car, and the car continued to drive towards Longgang.

With heavy steps, Ah Xue walked back to the bridge in a dejected manner.Back to the side of the two children, she was still panting. let's go.Ah Zhao said. You go first.Ashe said.Little Ya'er, you know the way, I'll be right there. Old Mr. Duan and Yi Su watched the other side of the path, waiting for Xiao Ya'er to come back.Soon, they saw two children running on the road.You can't be wrong, one of them is Xiao Ya'er, then the other one must be Ah Zhao.The two children jumped and ran, talking and laughing all the way, their voices could be heard from a distance, fortunately there was no one nearby.

Old Mr. Duan and Yi Su were very happy to see the child returned safely. What follows is a series of questions and answers.How did Ah Zhao come out?What does he know?What about Ashe?Why didn't you come back together?Where was Ah Zhao last night? If I had started earlier, I would have found you.Ah Zhao said to Lihua: Deng Ping asked where you were, but I didn't tell him. Fan Shitian became nervous.Where is Deng Ping? He came with us in a car. Where is he going? I don't know, probably go to Pingshan. Fan Shitian frowned, looking gloomy. Did you hear me right?Did he ask about pear blossoms?

How could I hear it wrong, but I didn't tell him. James saw the look of disdain on Fan Shitian's face. Come here and sit down.Fan Shitian pointed to a stone.We want to hear you start from the beginning.Tell me, how did you find Deng Ping? Fan Shitian squatted in front of Ah Zhao, it was more convenient to ask questions like this. At noon, I came out of the prison.Ah Zhao began to narrate: You are not at home, Lihua once told me that you have to take the night train to Longgang.It's half past ten, isn't it?It was still early and I was walking on the street.You are not at home either.He turned to Yi Su and said.

We were already sitting on the boat in the afternoon.Isu explained. Let him go on.Fan Shitian interrupted Yi Su's words. At that time I thought, go to church and see, maybe you are in church.As a result, no one was there. when did you go to churchJames asked. About half past four. did you go in went in.The door was open, so I went in to have a look. Is anyone in there? No one, I waited for a while and left. What will you do next?Fan Shitian asked. I chat with soldiers.Lihua gave me a lot of money, and I ate a big meal in the restaurant, and went to the station after dark.I didn't know there was a curfew and they wouldn't let me go saying I didn't have a pass.I show them my badge, no good.They insisted on not allowing me to leave, and then asked me why I was in such a hurry to go to Longgang.I was really anxious as hell.Well, that's okay.I said to them, just turned around and walked back. He spoke like he was telling an interesting story. Then what?Fan Shitian asked. Then, I have nowhere to go.I don't want to go back to where I live.So, I went to Lihua, and I thought, maybe you have come back.Guess who is at the pear blossom?It was Deng Ping, who was lying on the bed of Lihua.When he saw me, he seemed very scared at first, and then he seemed very angry.I didn't recognize him at first because he had shaved off his beard. What about pear blossoms?he ask me. I have no idea.Do you know?I'm looking for her. Did you see her today? I said: no. Don't tell anyone that I'm here. Nobody knows you're there. Don't tell anyone that you saw me. He looks so nervous. Did he say why?Is he afraid?Fan Shitian asked. seems like it.I wanted to go away, but he told me not to go.He changed his appearance and asked me if I had eaten, very politely.I said I ate it.He took out some RMB and stuffed it in my hand.Go, have a good meal.Remember, don't tell others that you have seen me. Did you take his money? No.I told him I had a lot of money, and when I showed it to him, his eyes widened. Where did the money come from? I said, when I was in prison, Lihua gave it to me. when? this morning. You are lying.You just said that you haven't seen her today.Why did she give you so much money? in case. What if?What if she had to leave? I said: No, in case they want to send me to the north.He said, I'm lying.He walked up and down the room, as if thinking about something. Then he suddenly turned to me and said: Where is she?Of course he was skeptical.At that time, it was already nine or ten o'clock, Lihua should go home, right?He went to open the closet and found that your coat was gone. Pear Blossom listened intently.and after?she asked. I want to go, but I don't want to go with him, because I want to come to you.He said I couldn't go because there was a curfew outside.Still, I went and went back to where I lived. That was last night? Yes, I don't like the way he looks?So I must go.I think he is crazy.At least, to me, he looks like a lunatic.He seemed very angry, talking to himself non-stop, lying on the bed for a while, getting up and looking in the mirror for a while, staring at himself, and laughing loudly.I really didn't like the way he looked, so I left. Did you see him in the car? Of course I saw it, I followed him all the time. Ah Zhao looked smug. Did he say anything, that he wanted to come this way, or did he speak as if he knew we were here? He was running for his life, because when he got into the car, he was wearing a lot of clothes and a pair of black glasses. Did he see you? Ah Zhao smiled happily and said: No.Even if he saw it, he didn't dare to say hello to me.He is running for his life! Fan Shitian stood up and licked his lips with his tongue.He looked up at the sky, and there were several eagles flying overhead.He said: You see, everyone fled south, even the birds in the sky were no exception. Axue came back by herself, obviously, she had wanted to find someone from Boluo. I know, you must be hungry now.Lihua took Ah Zhao's hand and said kindly. I'm not hungry, I pay for everything I eat. Fan Shitian walked up to him and asked: Then, he didn't come to look for Lihua. He is on the run, as are we. Did he say so? No.Ah Zhao didn't want to say any more. Fan Shitian looked at him sternly.go on. I remember, he once asked me, do you know where the Provincial Party Committee is?Have you already returned to Guangzhou?He said one after another: Not at all, not at all.You see, now it is his turn to be afraid of being sent to Xinjiang, just like Lin Kui.In the past, he sent Lin Kui off, but now it's his turn. What do you think?Lihua asked Fan Shitian. I have no idea.Someone is always going to be unlucky.Someone has to suffer for this riot and arson.Deng Ping had always been too strict and offended many people, and he didn't get along well with the security forces and the army.If the party investigates this incident, there will be a confrontation between him and the chief of security.He himself has been shaken first.If he wanted to fight hard on this incident, he would have gone to Guangzhou long ago.Of course, when the incident happened, he left his job without authorization, which was also a very unfavorable factor for him. After being silent for a while, Fan Shitian said again: "Maybe he wants to find us."If he's going to the border, maybe we'll run into him. I don't want him to come here for us.Ewha said. Neither do I.To be honest, I still have an old score with him. He is vicious and vicious, don't forget. I know.
