Chapter 45
45.
Yi Hanxing never expected that his brother's first reaction at this time was not to think about how to help him, but that he had come to this day.
To say that Yi Hongxing's expression was one of gloating was an understatement; he was just short of bursting out laughing and walking out.
Yi Hanxing hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to follow his heart.
"Not writing letters anymore?" The night before Yi Hanxing left, Yi Hongxing had a rare opportunity to go home for dinner, but he still started by mocking her.
"I thought about how I haven't seen my nephews and nieces for a long time, and I just missed them." Yi Hanxing said.
Yi Hongxing looked at Yi Hanxing with amusement, but ultimately did not expose her.
"Brother, are you done with your recent work?" Seeing that Yi Hongxing had learned to shut up at the right time, Yi Hanxing also reciprocated his concern: "Can you have a good rest?"
"One major issue has been resolved, but there's no end to the work." Yi Hongxing said, "It's a pity you're leaving, otherwise we could have seen a good show."
"What a great show?" Yi Hanxing suddenly became excited.
"I'd better not tell you. Otherwise, it would be so uncomfortable if you knew but couldn't see it." Yi Hongxing looked like he was very considerate of Yi Hanxing.
"If you really cared about me, you wouldn't have mentioned something exciting just now!" Yi Hanxing immediately pointed out Yi Hongxing's hypocrisy and pressed him, "The exciting thing you mentioned in advance, is it because most people in the area will see it later and therefore know about it? What exactly is it?"
"You'll know tomorrow." Yi Hongxing kept it a secret. No matter what Yi Hanxing said, he kept his mouth shut and didn't satisfy Yi Hanxing's curiosity.
So the night before leaving the base, Yi Hanxing was so curious that he almost didn't get enough sleep.
The next day, Yi Hanxing understood why Yi Hongxing said, "You'll know tomorrow."
Early in the morning, a friend came to Yi Hanxing and said, "We've captured a group of Japanese at the base!"
"Japanese?!" Yi Hanxing was shocked.
"Right, right, right!" the little friend called out quickly, "Come out and see!"
Yi Hanxing thought of the good show that Yi Hongxing talked about yesterday, and quickly put on an expression of eating melons, picked up a bunch of pumpkin seeds he had posted, and ran with his friends to watch the fun.
On the way there, Yi Hanxing had already found out that this group of Japanese were captured deep in the Dabie Mountains.
"I heard that we encountered those two wild boars before. They were the ones causing trouble in the woods, causing the wild boars to run out from the mountains." The friends said so.
In Yi Hanxing's imagination, these Japanese were able to fight against wild boars and make the iron-headed wild boars flee. Even if they were not tall due to their race, they should be very strong. Even if they did not have obvious large muscles, they should be strong.
They look like thin warriors. After all, those who can be formed into teams and sent out to cause trouble should be elite soldiers.
But when he saw the captured Japanese, Yi Hanxing realized that these people were very different from what he had imagined.
Although these Japanese people don't look tall, their fighting strength doesn't seem to be high either. There are two of them wearing glasses. They really wear medium-height glasses and they are not pretending.
Yi Hanxing instantly became curious about the identities and missions of this group of people: "What are these people doing in the mountains?"
"I don't know." The well-informed friend replied: "I heard that they plan to conduct a thorough interrogation."
"Those two guys wearing glasses look like scholars." Another friend said, "Even if they're doing a military survey, there's no need to bring in scholars, right?"
Yi Hanxing, who was particularly curious, went back and asked Yi Hongxing.
"Okay, you almost know everything we know. Those Japanese still need to be interrogated. If you ask me, I don't know either." Yi Hongxing replied.
"Then don't you have any guesses?" Yi Hanxing asked.
"I think they're looking for something, not just checking a map." Yi Hongxing said, "I don't know whether to say it's funny or sad, but the Japanese maps they hold are much clearer than the maps of our base."
"If the Japanese have such a clear map of the Dabie Mountains, then they should also be familiar with the terrain of many places in the country." Yi Hanxing reminded.
After listening to what Yi Hongxing said about the map, Yi Hanxing suddenly remembered a story he had heard on the Internet before. It was said that the Japanese had secretly planned to occupy the Chinese land, so they sent people to China to draw maps many years before the start of World War II. When Japanese generals led their troops to fight, they had relatively detailed maps of the local China.
Combining with what Yi Hongxing said, Yi Hanxing felt that in today's world, the Japanese might have really made advance preparations about the terrain.
After hearing what Yi Hanxing said, Yi Hongxing nodded: "That's almost certain. It seems that the Japanese have been planning this for a long time, so they even drew a map."
Seeing that Yi Hongxing was already aware of this matter, Yi Hanxing thought it wouldn't take long for the leaders of the base to know about it. He breathed a sigh of relief and started gossiping again: "So, what is there in the Dabie Mountains that is worth them looking for?"
"Whatever it is that's worth their while, it has nothing to do with you for now," Yi Hongxing said coldly. "You should leave after lunch. I don't think you'll be able to hear their gossip anymore."
Yi Hanxing: ...I was halfway through eating the melon when I discovered the rind had been taken away. How cruel!
The cruel Yi Hongxing kicked Yi Hanxing out of the house after lunch: "Come out quickly, otherwise you won't be able to get there before dark."
Yi Hanxing can only hold herself
He took the small package with him and sent his comrades out of the mountain.
That evening, as it was getting dark, Yi Hanxing arrived at his second brother-in-law's house.
Compared to the typical Hui-style building where Han Xing's parents live, his second sister and brother-in-law live in a small town on the Yangtze River. Because it is a natural harbor, many ships are repaired here, and it has been quite prosperous since ancient times.
Second brother-in-law Cheng Shen is a typical old-fashioned gentleman. However, Han Xing's behavior seems a bit abnormal in the eyes of old-fashioned people of this era, so every time they see Han Xing, they always advise her to be more chaste. Han Xing actually doesn't like being nagged by them, but she always endures it for the sake of her second sister.
After all, if her own parents are criticized, then so be it. If her second sister's parents-in-law and husband are criticized, it is hard to say whether her second sister will be in trouble.
Why is Han Xing afraid of his second sister?
Because Han Xing was born when his parents were in their thirties, there is a big age difference between him and his brothers and sisters. Now Yi Hanxing has not had his birthday yet, so he is considered to be twelve years old, and is generally calculated to be thirteen years old, which is 14 years old. Tian Guangqian, the third child, is twenty-three years old, Tian Xiu De is twenty-four years old, and Yi Hongxing is twenty-six years old. There is about eighteen months difference between the three of them, but they are at least ten years older than Yi Hanxing.
When Yi Hongxing was eighteen years old, she went to study outside with the fifteen-year-old Tian Guangqian. So after Yi Hanxing was born, it was this elder sister who took care of her the most. Moreover, because the second brother-in-law's ancestors passed away at that time, the second brother-in-law, as the eldest grandson, observed mourning for three years. The second sister did not get married until she was seventeen years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that the eldest sister is like a mother.
As an elder sister who helped her parents raise Yi Hanxing, Tian Xiu De not only did not have the old-fashioned bad habits of Han Xing's father and mother, but also particularly supported Yi Hanxing in not binding her feet and suffering, and in being respectful to her parents and friendly to her siblings. She was gentle, beautiful and willing to make sacrifices. The clothes Han Xing wore when she was a child were made by Tian Xiu De, and she lived in her second sister's house for two or three months a year. Every time facing her gentle elder sister, Yi Hanxing always felt guilty for going against her wishes.
Just like what those modern men who are afraid of their wives say: This is not cowardice, this is love!
Yi Hanxing thought that he thought the same about his sister.
So when he entered his second sister's house, Yi Hanxing called out to everyone: "Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng, Second Brother-in-law, Second Sister."
As soon as Old Lady Cheng saw Yi Hanxing, she smiled and waved: "Are you here for Xiurong? Let me take a look. It's been two years since I last saw you. You still look the same as before. Bai Tuantuan is really blessed." As she said that, she hugged Yi Hanxing who came closer.
This happened every year when Yi Hanxing was a child, and he would completely give up struggling.
Old Madam Cheng rubbed Yi Hanxing for a while before letting her go: "You little rascal, why didn't you come to see us for so long?"
For the little kid who had grown up to this age since she was over three years old, Old Lady Cheng basically regarded Yi Hanxing as an extra staff member in her family: "Before, your parents
I heard you were so scared when you ran away from home that your face turned pale. Luckily, you wrote back after three or five days! You're really brave! This is the first time I've seen a girl who ran away.
"That's right, Han Xing, why can't you discuss it with your family? You actually ran away from home? Brother-in-law Cheng also said: "Your body and hair are given by your parents. What if you get hurt? What will your parents-in-law do?
Upon hearing what Brother-in-law Cheng said, Yi Hanxing started to have a headache: Here it comes again! Here it comes again! He's going to start nagging again!
