When Meng Lin called out, Azurepeak hurriedly used his body to block his sister. At this critical moment, the jeep braked abruptly and stopped a meter away from the siblings.
Before the siblings could recover from their shock, they heard a loud bang from the car door. A loud male voice came from the Qingfeng.
Azurepeak suddenly turned around. He was stunned at first, then he was surprised and happy. He punched the other party's arm and pretended to be angry." Hao Yashuo, are you trying to kill me?" The other party laughed.
Meng Lin felt that her brother had met someone familiar, but the scene just now had left her in a state of shock and fear.
" You're really dangerous. What if someone dies?" Azurepeak said.
"Haha, it's fine, it's fine. You know my driving skills. I saw a man by the Huangpu River who looked like you, so I drove over. It really is you."
"You scared my sister. I was about to jump into the river with her just now."
"Haha, don't jump into the river, don't jump into the river. If you want to jump, you have to jump off the building, haha!"
The two of them chatted and laughed for a while. Suddenly, they remembered their sister behind them. Azurepeak said to Yashuo,"This is my sister. I've mentioned her to you before."
" What a beauty. Why isn't she my sister? Haha!"
Azurepeak turned around and said to Meng Lin,"This is my university classmate, Hao Yashuo. We were roommates for four years, so we often joke around. Don't mind him."
" Hello." Meng Lin smiled politely. Ya Shuo also smiled back politely.
"Azurepeak, you're back after the new year. Are you not leaving Shanghai for the time being?"
"Okay, it's decided for the time being. I'll learn business for a period of time first."
" That's great. We must get together more often." Ya Shuo patted Azurepeak's shoulder.
"I brought my sister out to play today. Why did you come out?”
"I came out to have fun too. I was planning to look for you at your company tomorrow. Since we bumped into each other today, let's talk today."
"What's the matter?"
"Yes, there's something. It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go to the library."
The two of them drove their own cars and arrived at a library. It was just after the New Year, and most people were still immersed in having fun. No one thought of coming out to read or study. The library was very quiet. Other than the administrator on duty, there was no one in many libraries. For Ya Shuo, it was a good place to discuss things.
The two men sat in the corner by the window. Meng Lin was reading alone on the bookshelf, far away from them.
" Why are you looking for me? You must come to the library," Azurepeak asked softly.
"There have been a lot of rumors recently, most of which are about war. It is said that in less than three years, Japan and China will have a life-and-death battle."
" I've also heard a little about it. I've also met some strange people recently. Their communication methods are very mysterious. I followed them and seemed to have heard the sound of a telegram."
"What is it? You followed them? What did you see?" Ya Shuo was shocked.
"I didn't have time to look and was discovered. Fortunately, I ran fast. However, there was the faint sound of a telegram coming from the room."
"Telegram? Could it be that the underground organization has already begun to take action?”
"It's difficult to confirm the identity of the other party now. We don't know which side they are from, whether they are spies sent by Japan or anti-Japanese.”
"Then did you go back and look for clues?"
"There's no need to look for them. They know that they're being followed and will definitely evacuate overnight. This kind of organization is very cautious. They won't leave any clues when they evacuate."
"If a war really breaks out between Japan and China, what are your plans?”Ya Shuo's eyes sparkled.
Azurepeak looked into Ya Shuo's eyes and seemed to understand the thoughts behind Ya Shuo's eyes. He said,"I will definitely serve the country."
"That's great, you're thinking the same thing as me. How do you plan to help?" Ya Shuo was overjoyed.
"Once the war breaks out, in order to boost morale, the country will attach great importance to military pay. At that time, we will have the money to contribute and the strength to contribute."
" Mm." Ya Shuo nodded and said firmly,""I think so too. Ever since I heard the rumors, I saved up a lot of money and didn't dare to spend as much as I used to.”
" You're good." Azurepeak burst out laughing." I didn't know that Young Master Hao, who grew up in a honey jar, would also make a revolution."
"Don't make fun of me. I just don't want China to lose to Japan and become a slave. As a citizen of China, I have to do my part for the country."
The two of them continued to lower their heads and discuss. Qing Feng told Ya Shuo how he met him in the private room on the ship, how he saved a person, how he met him in the cage shop of the City God Temple, and how he followed him. Qing Feng's opinion was that he must pay attention to this person. This person's actions were strange, and there must be an organization behind him. This organization could be an underground party that resisted the Japanese, or it could be a spy that Japan planted in China, using some traitors who were afraid of death to steal the military intelligence of China. He was planning for the war in advance. Everyone knew that knowing oneself and knowing the enemy was the best way to win a hundred battles. Thinking of this, Azurepeak broke out in cold sweat and could not help but say,"I hope that he is an anti-Japanese member. This way, we can use him to support the organization behind him with financial resources. It can also be considered as fulfilling our long-cherished wish to contribute to the country. If it was a Japanese spy, then it would be a big problem. If we sponsor him without knowing it, we will become traitors.”
"How about this? The last time you found him at the steamed bun shop, it's very likely that that place was one of their contact points. If you were followed without knowing, it's very likely that there were their people at the steamed bun shop at that time. I feel that if we want to get to the bottom of this, the Steamed Bun Shop is a good clue. But you can't go anymore. I'll go.”Ya Shuo was quite confident in his deduction.
"Hmm, what you said makes sense. However, you have to be careful. Last time, I was accidentally watched because I thought that there was something wrong with the person who pretended to be a beggar. I didn't consider that there might be something wrong with everyone in the stall. "It's really the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." Azurepeak recalled the scene of being hunted down at that time and still had lingering fears. "Fortunately, they didn't open fire at that time. Otherwise, I would have brought Menglin with me. Menglin doesn't know kung fu, so it would have been very difficult for him to escape."
"Oh right, I think it's best if we get involved in this mess in the future. It's best if we have guns on us to protect ourselves.”
"You're right."
" Leave the gun to me." Ya Shuo was full of confidence as he patted his chest.
Meng Lin was looking for a book by himself. He found a book, flipped through a few pages, and put it back. He found another book, flipped through a few pages, and found it boring, so he put it back. Suddenly, he found a book that wasn't too thick among the many books. There were a few white words written on the black spine: It was a rare thing in the world. The book looked very interesting. Meng Lin pulled it out from the crowded pile of books.
The cover of the book was black, and the words were white. It was very eye-catching. At the bottom of the words was an erupting volcano, spewing red lava. It was especially dazzling against the black background. This book wasn't too new. Many people had probably read it before. It was also very old. Meng Lin flipped to the first page. There were a total of ten articles on the table of contents, and each article had four to five sections. The title of each section was very simple, such as:
Time
Time Gap
Time Mistake
Wrong Time
The Time Before Time
The Time After Time
……
The title of the book, which she could not understand, piqued Meng Lin's curiosity, so she flipped through it. At the beginning of the first chapter, there was a story:
It was unknown which era it was, but in one dynasty, a private school teacher died. Logically speaking, although the death of a person among the common people was very sad, it was also the most common thing to be born, old, sick, and dead. However, this teacher's death was not the end of his life, but the beginning of it.
The private school teacher was very talented when he was alive. Due to the fierce plague in his hometown that year, the teacher could not escape the disaster and died young. The family was very sad and cried in front of the body, but there was one person in the crowd who did not cry. The person who didn't cry patted the shoulder of an old woman who was crying and said,""Mother, why are you crying? I'm here." The old woman didn't respond and continued to cry." Big Brother, don't cry. I'm here." The burly man didn't react and continued to cry. He looked at the group of people who were crying in a circle. He didn't know what was in the middle that made them cry so much. He tried his best to squeeze in, wanting to join in the fun. The people who were squeezed didn't feel anything and treated him as air. He squeezed in and was dumbfounded when he saw that he was lying on the ground. I was clearly here, so why did they make me lie on the ground? They were clearly trying to hit on them, but why did no one pay attention to me? I was standing in the middle now, so why did no one notice me? Just as he was thinking, a gust of wind blew in from the open window. His body suddenly felt light and did not listen to him. He was about to float up. He desperately shouted," Come and save me, come and save me." Everyone ignored him and continued to cry sadly. Just like that, he was blown out of the window.
Along the way, the wind blew, and he did not know where it was blowing. It felt like it had been blowing for a day and a night, and he had also been blown by the wind for a day and a night. The next evening, the wind slowly stopped. He was thrown to the ground. He got up and saw that this was a broken temple. There was no incense all year round. There were spider webs and dust everywhere. He was a little tired after floating around for a day and felt sleepy.
When she woke up, it was already dark. He looked at the surrounding temples and saw that there were no lights. It was very scary. He did not know where to go. Until now, he still could not figure out why no one paid attention to him when he talked to his family. As she thought about it, she felt that she was homeless and could not help but cry.
The sobs reached the ears of several families not far from the temple at the foot of the mountain. It had been a long time since the temple on the mountain had been visited by incense. It had always been quiet. Why was there suddenly a miserable cry tonight? It made one's hair stand on end.
A few brave brawny men were unwilling to accept the fact that they didn't believe in the legend of ghosts and gods. Therefore, they made an appointment to carry torches, shovels, and fire sticks up the mountain. The person who was crying in the temple suddenly saw a light at the foot of the mountain and was getting closer and closer. It seemed that someone had come to save him. He wiped his tears and laughed.
The people who came up the mountain came to the courtyard of the temple. The torches lit up the temple as if it was daytime, but they did not see any ghosts. When he saw that everyone was looking for him, he ran to the people in the courtyard and shouted," Are you guys here to look for me?" The people in the courtyard ignored him as if no one could hear him. He panicked and slapped one of the men, saying," I'm here." The man didn't respond and continued to light the torch to look for something. He looked around and found an empty broken water tank, so he kicked it over. The people who had gone up the mountain realized that the crying had disappeared after entering the courtyard. There was no sign of it either. Just as they were feeling surprised, a water tank suddenly collapsed. Moreover, there was no one beside the water tank. This time, everyone's scalps went numb. He realized that only by smashing things could he attract the attention of others. Then, he moved a stone to smash the water tank. The people who went up the mountain found that the stone rose into the air and smashed the water tank. This time, everyone believed that there was a ghost. One of them threw away his belongings, peed his pants, and ran away. When the others saw that someone had run away, they also threw away their shovels and ran for their lives.
After that, no one dared to come to this temple anymore. He felt that there was no hope of going home. He would miss home at night, so he often got up in the middle of the night and cried miserably.
Later, the people at the foot of the mountain really couldn't stand the sobs. Someone invited a Taoist priest to go up the mountain to do a ritual. The Taoist priest lit two big candles and dipped two pieces of paper on the candles. He held a peach wood sword and chanted. He picked up the paper with a wooden sword and burned it. After burning it, he began to draw a circle in the air. When the fire circle was about to go out, he took out a clay jar and put the paper on the wooden sword into the jar. He covered it and sealed it. He didn't know what was going on either. Suddenly, his vision turned dark and he was sealed in the jar.
The Taoist priest buried the jar under the ground in the courtyard. From then on, the temple returned to peace.
After he was buried underground, he felt that he could not escape, so he stayed inside obediently. It was unknown how many years had passed on the ground. Suddenly, the sound of war drums could be heard, followed by the galloping of horses. Many people could also be heard fighting. After an unknown period of time, peace was restored. After a long time, the neighing of the warhorses came back again. A large number of people were shouting," Charge…Kill…" After a long time, it was quiet again.
He felt that he had been sleeping in the jar for hundreds of years. Suddenly, one day, the jar broke with a bang. The dazzling sunlight shone into the jar. He ran out and saw that the world had changed greatly. The original mountain had been flattened, and the courtyard of the temple had become a paddy field. It was an old farmer who accidentally broke a mud jar buried in the ground when he was hoeing. Just like that, he ran out. The old farmer behind him continued hoeing, completely unaware of his existence.
After walking for a while, he felt a little tired. Suddenly, he saw a door closed. He wanted to lean against the door to rest for a while, but after falling asleep, he lost his balance. Unknowingly, the door opened with a squeak. It turned out that the door was ajar. Then, he heard the cry of a baby. A woman ran out of the house and said, Congratulations, Master. Miss has given birth to a son."
When he woke up, he found that his hand had become smaller, like a baby. He looked around and saw a circle of unfamiliar faces smiling at him. He was very surprised and did not know why his hand had become smaller. Just as he was thinking about it, the person at home who looked like an old master said, We have a grandson. This is such a joyous occasion. We must invite the neighbors over tomorrow evening."
The next morning, Old Master went out. Madam at home had forgotten whether Old Master had instructed her to treat them in the evening or at noon. The family argued endlessly. Some said evening, some said noon. He remembered the baby lying on the bed very clearly. Grandpa said it was evening, so he called out without hesitation, It's evening."
The whole family was shocked. His mother, who was lying beside him, almost fell off the bed. She said that her son was a monster and wanted to strangle him. Grandma at home thought that her daughter-in-law must have heard wrongly. It was impossible for such a thing to happen. A newborn baby could speak, so she picked him up and coaxed him, saying, Did you say that? You didn't say that, did you?" When he saw this, he didn't dare to say another word. He didn't dare to breathe loudly. When the whole family saw that he did not speak, they thought that they had really heard wrongly. From then on, they did not pursue the matter. From then on, he pretended to be deaf and mute.
Everything in the world was just so coincidental. This was what people often said," No coincidence makes a story." His grandfather was also a private school teacher. He went out to teach during the day and brought back the students 'homework during lunchtime to review. The homework of that dynasty was to write an article or compose a poem. However, Grandpa noticed something strange happening in the past few months. Every day, he would collect the students 'homework in class during the day. When he went home for lunch, he would leave the homework in the study. When he went to the study to review the homework in the evening, the homework had already been reviewed. Looking at the comments, this person's literary talent was not inferior to his. He was definitely not an ordinary scholar. Other than himself, Grandpa was sure that no one else in the family had such talent. Moreover, it had been like this every day for several months. It was really puzzling.
Finally, one day, his grandfather made up his mind to "catch" this knowledgeable person so that he could find a confidant to spar with. So on this day, Grandpa came back at noon as usual and placed the students 'homework on the table in the study. Then, he pretended to leave. In fact, Grandpa came back immediately after leaving and hid in a corner of the study.
Not long after, the door of the study was pushed open from the outside. Grandpa, who was hiding in the corner of the study, looked up slightly. It was his grandson, who was a few months old. He carefully entered the study and closed the door. Grandpa was surprised. This child was only a few months old. When did he learn to walk? Just as he was thinking, he saw his grandson climb up the chair. As he was not tall enough, he could only stand on the chair and open the student's homework. He skillfully picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and began to read it skillfully.
Grandpa, who was hiding in the corner, was stunned. This was a child who was only a few months old. Ordinary children could not even walk steadily, but he could actually walk steadily and even read articles. When he read the article, his face was filled with excitement. Not only did it not stump him, but it also gave him a sense of accomplishment. He was almost done with his homework when his grandson felt a figure standing in front of him. He looked up and saw that it was his grandfather!
His grandson was shocked. He didn't know whether to run or stay. The medicine in his hand was trembling. Tears streamed down his grandfather's face as he couldn't help but say," My grandson, so you're my stepson."
The story ended here, but Meng Lin was still not done. He continued reading.
According to the theory of spiritualism, before a person left the world and reincarnated, they had to drink the soup of Meng Po. After drinking the soup, they would forget what happened in their previous life. The second life was a person who did not drink Meng Po's soup. Therefore, after he passed away as a private school teacher, his soul floated all the way to the temple. Later, the master put it in a jar. Later, the farmer broke the jar. He leaned against the door to rest. When the door opened, the young lady inside gave birth. This string showed that he could remember everything that happened during the process of reincarnation after death. Naturally, he could speak as soon as he was born. He could walk very quickly and read articles. In the story, the successor had transmigrated to several dynasties. This was very rare. Many people questioned transmigration and thought that it was superstition. This book would explain what transmigration was all about. Actually, transmigration was one…
Meng Lin quickly looked at the next page. Unfortunately, more than half of the pages had been torn. The tear marks on the spine were very obvious. Meng Lin continued to flip to the next few pages. They all talked about volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis. They had nothing to do with transmigration. She was disappointed. If he wanted to return to the 21st century, he had to know what transmigration was all about. However, the main points of this book had been torn apart. Was there no hope of returning home?
Just as she was thinking about it, her brother and Yashuo walked over. It was already afternoon, and they suggested going out for dinner. Ya Shuo had sharp eyes and saw the book in Meng Lin's hand. He said,""You like this book too? I read this book many years ago."
