She wanted to see where Captain Xu's daughter was from the barrage, but perhaps because they didn't say any key words, the barrage only discussed Xu Yating's situation without mentioning the specific location.
Shen Xingluo knew that she had to act, otherwise, if she was too far away, even if she wanted to save people, it would be too late.
So she immediately found an excuse to call Captain Xu out. Looking at Captain Xu's cheerful eyes, she asked him about something that Captain Xu didn't want to recall.
"Uncle Xu, I've never heard you mention Auntie and your children. I wonder why they didn't come with you to Daqingshan?"
If someone else asked this question, Captain Xu might have glanced at the other person, then said with a stern face, "Don't ask too many questions."
But the person asking the question was Shen Xingluo, so he shouldn't treat her like that. After all, she was just curious.
So, Captain Xu fell into memories.
At that time, he and his wife had just gotten married and had an urgent task, so he left his wife in the mountain city and followed his old leader to Shanxi and Hebei. On the way, he received a letter from his wife saying that there was good news to tell him in person.
It was a very chaotic time. After receiving the letter, he was afraid to die and wanted to wait for his wife to tell him the good news in person. However, what he waited for was the sad news that his wife had sacrificed her life.
Hearing Captain Xu mention these things with a heavy heart, the barrage of comments also flashed rapidly.
Because of the keywords, Shen Xingluo saw more useful information.
After seeing the specific news mentioned in the barrage, Shen Xingluo had an idea in his mind.
After listening to Captain Xu's somewhat heavy memories, Shen Xingluo thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Uncle Xu, is there a possibility that Auntie meant to say that she gave birth to a child for you?"
As soon as she said this, the barrage of comments exploded.
[Little sister, you're amazing! You even know this! Hahahaha, look! Captain Xu is stunned!]
[I'm afraid Captain Xu won't believe it. After all, he's a straight man. He didn't even notice his wife's obvious hints. Tsk~]
[Although, he is very loyal and has remained faithful to his wife his entire life.]
Captain Xu was stunned by the question. His wife gave birth to a child for him?
He had never thought about this problem because his wife didn't mention it in the letter!
Seeing Captain Xu's silly look, the guys on the other side of the barrage almost died of laughter, but there were also people who were more anxious than him.
It was simply because they had seen Xu Yating knocked unconscious and locked in the house, and they planned to send her to the idiot's house when it was late at night.
Seeing that time was so tight, Shen Xingluo frowned. Although Tang Tiantian might have a map and means of transportation, what reason did she have to take people away?
She is already high-profile enough now. If she continues to act without scruples, she will probably attract more people to make trouble soon.
No, she couldn't be impulsive. Since she was Comrade Xu's daughter, she should just leave her to him. She believed that he had the ability.
That’s right, Captain Xu will have to feel uncomfortable for a while.
Seeing that Captain Xu was silent, Shen Xingluo continued, "Uncle Xu, if Auntie really gave birth to a child for you, how old would the child be now?"
Captain Xu said without hesitation, "27 years old. My wife and I have been separated for 27 years."
Speaking of this, Xu Aiguo, a grown man, began to have tears in his eyes.
Shen Xingluo, who had never been in love, really didn't understand what love was. Seeing this, he didn't know what to say.
I had to quickly change the subject, "Uncle Xu, if my aunt really gave birth to a child for you, what would she name it?"
Captain Xu and his wife were in a free love relationship, so they have always had a good relationship. This is also the reason why Captain Xu did not remarry after his wife passed away.
"If it's a son, name him Xu Weihua. If it's a daughter, name her Xu Yating. I hope it's a daughter as pretty as my wife." Captain Xu blurted out without thinking.
He was a rough man, but his wife was a lady from a wealthy family. They met on the battlefield. She was in a dishevel but still looked pleasing to the eye. Captain Xu fell for her.
When they got married, they had many expectations for the future and discussed what to name their children if they had any.
All I can say is that Captain Xu must have often missed his wife when the night was quiet, otherwise, he would not have remembered such a long-ago event so clearly.
Captain Xu's words triggered a heated discussion in the barrage, with most people saying that Captain Xu was a sentimental person, and some lamenting that few men at that time were good people.
Shen Xingluo didn't understand these feelings anyway, so she just used her ultimate move.
"Xu Yating?" She looked at Captain Xu in surprise and spoke nonsense seriously.
"I think our leader mentioned this name before. He said he heard a strange story when he passed by the Jialing River on his way here. A family refused to marry off their daughter, using her as free labor. I think the girl was called this. She's about 27 now."
Shen Xingluo didn't feel embarrassed at all to let her boss take the blame. The main reason was that her boss traveled to many places, his whereabouts were erratic, and his identity was special. It was difficult for Captain Xu to verify whether it was true or not.
Captain Xu's eyes widened when he heard this. Jialing River? Isn't that the address his wife wrote to him last time?
But, even though they are someone else's child, even if they have the same name and age, how the hell could there be so many coincidences!
If he hadn't been concerned that the person in front of him was a little girl, he would have definitely held her hand and asked if it was true.
So at this moment, Captain Xu looked anxious, "Luoluo, are you saying that it could be my child?"
Although Shen Xingluo was very sure, she didn't dare to say it, otherwise she would be exposed.
"Uncle Xu, I don't know about this either. You can check it out yourself. Even if it turns out not to be the case, it won't delay anything, right?"
Captain Xu was speechless when he saw her shameless look. Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?
Humph, little girl, how could I not understand you?
You are obviously a man with substance in what you say, yet you are pretending to be confused!
However, Shen Xingluo added quietly, "My boss said that the girl doesn't seem to be the biological daughter of that family. He said that many people know about it. He also said that the family is now plotting against the girl for their son's betrothal gift. Everyone is calling that family a worthless person."
Upon hearing this, Captain Xu could no longer sit still.
He didn't believe that the little girl was talking nonsense by calling him out alone.
So he immediately caught Shen Xingluo and asked more questions.
Shen Xingluo didn't dare to tell the whole story. He just told Xu Yating's approximate whereabouts and then slipped away.
The rest, of course, is the business of Captain Xu, the old father.
