Aunt Qiu took the hundred yuan, and then she pointed out a bunch of "Hongmei" and even said the "Hongmei" from the next village, speaking a lot of Mandarin with a local accent, and also took the two of them to the homes of two "Hongmei" families in Shuikou Village.
When seeing off the two strangers, Aunt Qiu smiled and said, "Come often when you have time."
After spending almost half a day in the village, they gained nothing and instead lost a hundred yuan. They didn't even have a sip of tea and their expressions were not as good as when they came.
They spent money and did see Hongmei, but... she was not the Hongmei they were looking for.
The middle-aged woman has given up hope. "I've already visited three villages. If I can't find any more information, I have no choice but to return to Beijing."
"The old man has high hopes. If we can't get even a shred of information, it will be hard to report to him when we go back." The middle-aged man was holding a blurry photo in his hand. The photo was a black-and-white group photo from the 1960s, taken in 1979. Twenty-four or twenty-five years have passed. The photo itself is not clear, and the time is so long that the faces are blurred. Even if the people in the photo appear, it is impossible to recognize who is who.
The two people who left Shuikou Village continued to inquire in the surrounding villages. Aunt Qiu, who took the money but did not do anything, ran to the home of Zhang Defu, who was still the village chief, and quickly told the strangers who entered the village to inquire about a female soldier named "Hongmei" to the village chief who had just returned home from farming.
"There aren't many female soldiers in the village. Ye Yatou is one, and Ye Yatou's mother is one, but the names don't fit. I figured it would be a waste of a hundred yuan, so I just took the two of them to the first two households in the village and let them meet "Hongmei."
Village chief Zhang Defu's expression changed when he heard that Aunt Qiu took a hundred yuan from someone else, but at least Aunt Qiu had pointed out the key point earlier, so he didn't get angry.
Although Aunt Qiu has never left the village, she is a smart person and knows which words to say first and which to say later. Otherwise, how could she have made Sun Dongqing so angry back then? It's because she is a smart person with a sharp tongue.
"Anyone who tells others about the matter between Miss Ye and her mother will have problems. I won't say you took advantage of me, it's just the nature of a woman. But if you mess things up, I won't recognize you as a person from the same village."
If such a serious accusation as treason is put on someone, several generations of the village will not be able to hold their heads up, and they will be pointed at wherever they go.
"I have to call the army and let them know that someone else has entered the village."
As the army's propaganda work was in place, the villagers of Shuikou Village, which is closest to the army, knew that something was wrong and notified the army immediately. What's more, with the cooperation of the villagers, several waves of guys who wanted to go into the mountains to take military pictures were caught.
Before the two strangers who were asking about "Hongmei" left Fujun Town, Commander-in-Chief Xia had already known about the matter. All the information about the martyr Hongmei had been erased, and the village where she lived during her lifetime only knew "Sun Xueqing" but not "Hongmei". When they went to inquire with a large group photo, even when they arrived at the martyr Hongmei's parents' home, no one knew that "Hongmei" was Sun Xueqing.
As for the Martyrs' Park, the photos had been taken down, and the names engraved on the tombstones were all "Tomb of Martyr Hongmei". Even if they went to the Martyrs' Park, they would not gain anything.
Although everything has been arranged, we still cannot let our guard down. Since the investigation has reached Shuikou Village, we may find more information.
