Chapter 45: Chronicle of the Sixties 5
The door opened, and a middle-aged woman with short hair looked at the pretty girl standing at the door with confusion, and asked doubtfully, "Girl, who are you looking for?"
Feng Wu raised the corner of his lips unnaturally, put down the black cloth bag on his shoulder, and whispered: "Aunt, I have something to ask Uncle Gu Songjin..."
Gu Songjin looked at the little girl sitting on the sofa, still a little dazed, "Are you Jing Tong's eldest daughter?"
Feng Wu nodded. "Uncle Gu comes to visit every year. Dad said you are his best friend. So, I came here to ask Uncle Gu if he knows where my grandfather and the others are being held now."
Gu Songjin: “…” He couldn’t imagine how such a little girl could have managed to avoid so many sentries in the compound and find her way home in the middle of the night.
"Girl! What can you do now that you know?" There is no help except to be anxious and worried.
Feng Wu knew that as a minor he had no authority, so he could only put the black bag on the coffee table and said slowly: "Uncle Gu, I know there is no way to rescue them now, I just want to know where they are now?" Even if they were rescued, they would have to hide from place to place. With the old man's personality, he would rather die than live without dignity.
Feng Wu had no choice but to use the most stupid method, which was to follow and take care of him all the way. From his original memory, his grandfather and his family died at the Wutz Farm in the north.
Feng Wu just wanted to know whether they were still in Beijing so that she could plan what to do next.
Feng Wu opened the black cloth bag and took out each item one by one. The faces of the couple sitting on the sofa changed at the same time.
The short-haired woman, Wang Zelan, Gu Songjin's lover, quickly stopped Feng Wu from taking the things. "Miss Song! What are you doing?"
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved. My daughter-in-law was four or five months pregnant, and she was skinny and without any fat. The family had tried their best to save fine grains for her, but one person only had so much food. If they wanted to buy some secretly on the black market, there were too many eyes watching them, hoping that they would make a mistake.
They had to live their lives cautiously.
"Uncle Gu, Auntie, the fact that I was able to come here proves that I have the ability to protect myself. You can rest assured to accept these things, Auntie. Uncle Gu is a good friend of my father, and these are my niece's heartfelt gifts."
Gu Songjin sighed, feeling rather unhappy. "Well, it's no big deal to tell you this. I asked someone to help me find out a few days ago. Your father and his men are currently imprisoned in the First Prison of Jing City. I heard that once the charges are determined, they will be sent to a labor camp in the north to serve their sentences."
Gu Songjin told the news she had heard before. She had originally planned to send some food and money to the little girl in a couple of days, but she didn't expect that the little girl would send him a lot of good things.
I feel unworthy of this!
However, the little girl who was once described as quiet and gentle by her friends really grew up overnight.
Feng Wu pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.
"Uncle Gu, can you find some connections to allow me to go to the northern farm with my grandfather and the others? Any identity will do."
The couple disagreed after the accident and said, "You think too simply, girl. The place in the north is just a wasteland with few people. You are a girl, and you will suffer if you go there."
Feng Wu took out another red brick from the cloth bag. This was something she found in the small courtyard where she rented.
Under the puzzled gazes of the couple, Feng Wu gently broke the originally solid red brick in two with his hands in front of them. As if afraid that his performance was not strong enough, Feng Wu directly ground half of the brick into powder in the palm of his hand.
Wang Zelan's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Oh my God, this, this..." Feeling the same expression on the face of Comrade Lao Gu beside her, she swallowed silently and muttered to herself, is this little girl really only seventeen years old?
Is this going to Songshan Shaolin or Emei Wudang?
A seemingly fragile little girl is actually a force maniac. No one would believe it if she told others about it.
Feng Wu didn't want to scare the two elders, so he smiled awkwardly. There was still a pile of brick dust on the table.
Gu Songjin picked up the other half of the brick from the table and knocked it gently on the coffee table, making a dull thud.
He unconsciously adjusted his mindset of treating Feng Wu as a junior. Since this child was not an ordinary person, he sincerely hoped that his friend could live to see the day when his grievances were cleared.
He did not ask why the little girl learned such skills, he just thought that the little girl had some adventure since she was a child. He tapped the table with his knuckles, thought for a while and said: "I will ask someone with connections. As long as your household registration is transferred, there shouldn't be a big problem." After all, there are really not many people who are willing to take the initiative to go to poor places to suffer!
As long as the group of escorted prisoners is not involved, it is relatively easy to add one person to the list of accompanying staff.
Gu Songjin nodded in agreement to this matter, and Feng Wu did not plan to stay for long. His spiritual sense scanned and saw that there was a pregnant woman with a big belly in the house. He thought that after the matter was done, he would get more things that the pregnant woman and her newborn baby could use. Not many children born at this time could be raised successfully. The original body was also very grateful to Uncle Gu for his care over the years.
After being persuaded to leave his things behind, Feng Wu ran away quickly, as if he was afraid that someone was chasing him.
"This child left so many things, and we don't have time to prepare anything for her!" The family has money but no tickets, so it's useless to buy anything.
Gu Songjin lit a cigarette and started smoking, his brows furrowed. "I'm afraid Jing Tong will have to serve at least a dozen years in prison this time. The journey is long and the mountains are high. I have a daughter to take care of him along the way. I hope he doesn't..."
Wang Zelan sighed, "Jing Tong's wife is also heartless. It would have been fine if she had just published an announcement to sever ties with him, but she actually took the initiative to expose him. Jing Tong's twin children are also heartless and ungrateful. They just turn around and call someone else their father."
What Gu Songjin was worried about was that Song Jingtong had lost the will to live because of another woman. That woman was the one Song Jingtong loved in his heart, but unfortunately, that woman was already dead.
…
Three days passed in a flash, and Feng Wu appeared at the entrance of the alley again in the middle of the night, carrying a large black bag on his back.
The squinting-eyed man's main purpose tonight was to wait for Feng Wu. When he saw him coming, a rare smile appeared on his face.
"I'm here. Brother Zhou is already waiting." He turned around and glanced at the big bag on Feng Wu's back. He was worried that he might be tired. "This bag looks very heavy. How about I help you carry it?"
The black bag was made by Fengwu when he took apart a mattress at home and took out the clumped cotton wool inside, thus forming a big square bag.
Feng Wu politely declined. She had nearly two hundred pounds of weight on her back. "No, no, we'll be there soon. There's no need to switch hands."
Squinting his eyes, he saw the little girl carrying a bag and walking lightly. He thought the bag might not be very heavy, so he did not insist. The two of them walked around the alley and entered the courtyard.
