Chapter 328

After giving Su Jindong a thorough explanation, Song Jingzhou took his belongings and left the army.

He first went to the black market and bought brown sugar, eggs, noodles and Fuqiang flour for Li Yueniang. Then Song Jingzhou headed towards Liuxiang Port with bags.

Li Yueniang saw Song Jingzhou's happy face and kept looking behind him.

"Where's Qingci? What's Qingci doing?"

Song Jingzhou remained calm, "Grandma, I'm the only one back this time. Qingci didn't come. Did the leader take a fancy to her? He assigned her a task during this period, so she didn't have time to come."

Song Jingzhou raised the things in his hands and said, "I didn't know I was free, so I asked me to come back to see you right away. Look, I brought you a lot of things! They are all gifts from Qingci."

When Li Yue Niang heard that Qing Ci had not returned, her eyes darkened, and then a glimmer of light flashed across them.

"Really? My Qingci was chosen by the leader?"

"Really? How could I lie to you, Grandma?"

Li Yue Niang smiled brightly, "Oh, that leader has good vision, I knew that my Qingci has a promising future. This is what it is called, it is like a pearl that can shine wherever it is, hahahaha~"

"Come on, come on, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, do you want some water or tea?"

Song Jingzhou didn't bother to be polite with the old lady, "Grandma, put some tea leaves for me."

"Good boy, hahaha, I like drinking tea too!"

"Wait, I'll call your Grandma Guo, and we'll play a game together."

As she said that, the little old lady ran out of the yard, lay down on the wall and started yelling at the other side.

"Guo Xiaomao~, Maoyapo~, hurry up, it's time for tea, my grandson-in-law brought me some goodies, come quickly~"

Soon someone responded from the other side of the wall, "Here I come, pour me some cold water first~"

Song Jingzhou listened to the two old ladies' powerful roars and thought to himself that it seemed that the two old ladies had recovered well.

After a round of tea, Grandma Guo became more and more sour. Compared with Song Jingzhou, Su Jindong was just a fool.

Looking at Li Yue Niang's smug and ostentatious look, Guo Xiaomao wanted to break up with her. It was true that there was no comparison. Comparing yourself with others would only make you angry and your heart ache.

Song Jingzhou personally went into the kitchen and prepared a meal for the two old ladies. After they finished eating, he made an excuse to return to the team.

West of Kyoto, in the slums of the old city.

Song Jingzhou lowered his hat, walked into a dirty and messy alley, and soon stopped in front of a dilapidated gate.

He looked around vigilantly, then knocked on the door three times lightly, twice hard, three times lightly, and twice hard.

When the knocking sound, which carried some kind of signal, stopped, the door was finally creaked open.

The person who opened the door was more vigilant than Song Jingzhou. His eagle eyes scanned the surrounding environment sharply. He quickly welcomed Song Jingzhou in, checked the outside again, and then closed the door with confidence.

"Why are you here?"

Inside the dim house, the other party asked Song Jingzhou in a low voice.

Song Jingzhou slowly looked around the room: the severely rotten door frame, the earthen walls, and the tiny specks of sunlight shining through the gaps in the broken tiles overhead.

"Aren't you guys short of money? Why are you living in a place like this?"

Xu Sai didn't expect that Song Jingzhou, who always kept a distance from them, not only came to them on his own initiative, but also cared about their residence. The wariness in his eyes slowly melted away.

"This area is full of mixed people. Although the environment is a bit poor, it is actually safer for us."

Song Jingzhou looked at the restrained young man in front of him and said, "Please sit down. Times have changed. There are no generals or marshals anymore. I am not your young master. You don't have to be so... in front of me."

"yes!"

Xu Sai pulled out a stool and sat down in front of Song Jingzhou.

Song Jingzhou was silent for a moment before asking, "How many of you are there?"

Xu Sai looked at Song Jingzhou in confusion, not knowing what he meant by asking this, but after a moment, he immediately replied.

"There are seven people coming with me!"

"Tell me what you have found out. Since I have returned to Kyoto as you requested and joined the General Armament Department, I have the right to know everything."

Song Jingzhou stared at Xu Sai with sharp eyes, "Also, I want all your deployments and your organizer. Who is he?"

Under the sharp gaze of Xu Saizhou and Song Jingzhou, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"The leader of our organization is Xu Tieniu, nicknamed Iron Hammer."

Song Jingzhou's pupils trembled, "Uncle Tiechui?"

"He, he's still alive?"

Song Jingzhou carefully examined Xu Sai's features and asked, "What is your relationship with him?"

“He is my Father!”

"Father?" Song Jingzhou shook his head. "Uncle Tiechui couldn't possibly have given birth to a son as old as you!"

A dark glint flashed in Xu Sai's eyes, "He is my stepfather!"

"My mother was a fisherwoman on the coast. She was the one who rescued my father from the sea."

"My father had gunshot wounds on his legs and side, but they avoided vital areas. My mother spent all our family savings to save him."

"My father recuperated at my home for half a year, and gradually developed feelings for my mother..."

As Song Jingzhou listened to Xu Sai's words, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

He asked anxiously, "You, your mother, did anyone else on your side see other injured people in the sea at that time?"

Xu Sai seemed to know what Song Jingzhou wanted to ask, "Master, not everyone has good luck!"

The light in Song Jingzhou's eyes slowly faded, "Yeah, Uncle Tiechui is lucky..."

Song Jingzhou raised his eyes again and asked, "Is he back?"

Xu Sai stared at Song Jingzhou for a while before slowly nodding.

Although Song Jingzhou tried hard to suppress the complex emotions in his heart, he still felt a lump in his throat.

The image of myself sitting on the neck of that big bald uncle and laughing heartily emerged in my mind.

After a while, the scene changed to the other party holding himself with one hand, running away while looking back and shooting. Finally, the scene froze on the reef of the fishing village. He shouted "Young Marshal" to his father, then leaned forward to block the bullet for his father and fell into the sea.

Song Jingzhou vaguely remembered that his uncle Tiechui's family had been soldiers of the Song family for generations.

Uncle Tiechui’s parents all followed the Song family, and Uncle Tiechui grew up with his father.

Song Jingzhou's tone was choked with sobs, "Can I see him?"

Xu Sai felt relieved. After two years, he finally saw a trace of nostalgia for the past on the other person's face.

Before, the young master always kept people at a distance, and he thought...

On the other side, Wang Jingtao finally arrived at Taohua Town after a long journey.

The unfamiliar environment before him left not the slightest impression in his mind.

After looking around, he walked into the state-owned restaurant not far away.

"Hello, comrade. Can you give me a bowl of noodles? Also, which direction should the Gaotang Brigade go?"
