The heavy objects in Ya Shuo's hands were two books. The top one was the " The Manifest of the Communistic Party " with a yellowed cover, which was a must-read book for the cadre. The bottom one was very old and felt like it was about to be torn. It was " The Book of Cryptic Telegrams ". After flipping through a few pages, there were many squares inside. Each square had four Arabic digits corresponding to one Chinese character below. He instantly understood that Zhang Lin was the boss of this shop, so these things must belong to Zhang Lin. He was a party member who led these people to prepare for the war against Japan at all times. These two books were the best proof. Ya Shuo quickly put the book back into the hole in the table and screwed it back in. He did it flawlessly, but at this moment, he was no longer sleepy.
Turning off the light, he lay on the bed. The moonlight shone in through the window and shone on Ya Shuo's face. He stared at everything that had happened these days, recalling Zhang Lin's every move, thinking about who was fighting against the Japanese and who was working to earn money. He had a feeling that Big Farmer was definitely fighting against the Japanese, and so was Brother Beard. It was hard to say about the Liu brothers and Big Farmer's younger brothers. He couldn't figure out what was going on, so he didn't think about it anymore. He would find an excuse to take a day off tomorrow and go to Azurepeak.
The next morning, Ya Shuo told Zhang Lin that his leg had hurt all night last night. He was afraid that the wound would become inflamed, so he wanted to take a day off to go to the hospital. Zhang Lin agreed without thinking and arranged for Sannong to accompany him. Ya Shuo refused. The bun shop was busy on the weekend, so he left more people in the shop. Zhang Lin let him ride a bicycle.
After leaving the shop and turning out of the alley, Ya Shuo immediately threw the limping bicycle to the side and quickly rode his bicycle towards the Xia residence. The Xia Mansion was quite a distance away from the Shing Wong Temple, so Ya Shuo had a smooth journey. He arrived at the iron gate in the courtyard of the mansion, got out of the car, and knocked on the gate. He pressed the doorbell, but no one came out for a long time. Ya Shuo pressed the doorbell several times and shook the iron gate. The iron gate made a clanging sound, but no one came out. Ya Shuo was anxious and shouted at the villa in the courtyard," Xia Qingfeng, come out." I'm your second uncle, Hao Yashuo!"
Ya Shuo and Azurepeak had known each other for many years. He knew Azurepeak's family situation roughly. He knew that Azurepeak's father was the eldest, and there was a second aunt, third uncle, and fourth uncle below him. There was no second uncle. Therefore, every time Ya Shuo got angry, he would shout at Qing Feng,"I'm your second uncle, Hao Ya Shuo."”，Azurepeak also felt that his second uncle was a virtual character. He didn't have a second uncle, and Ya Shuo was like this sometimes, so he didn't object.
Still, no one came out of the house. It was strange. Did he go out with his pretty sister again on the weekend? Xia Qingfeng started to flirt with her now that he had the company of a beauty. He kept saying that she was not serious and that he was just so-so. Sigh, they were all men after all. How could he be any better in front of a beauty? Ya Shuo didn't give up. He turned the bike around and muttered to himself," I don't believe I can't find you in a day." Then he rode the bike out of the mansion.
He went to the Western-style coffee shop that Qingfeng frequented and a few restaurants, but he couldn't find him. Ya Shuo was a little puzzled. This wasn't like Qingfeng's style. He usually stayed in the coffee shop for a day. He used the phone at the front desk of the coffee shop to call the mansion, but no one answered. He must not be at home. Where could he be? Did he have to work on a Sunday? Thinking of this, Ya Shuo got into the car and went to the factory.
Azurepeak was not at the first two factories. When he found the third factory, he saw Uncle Wang coming out of the factory to take stock. Ya Shuo rushed forward. Uncle Wang, who was taking stock, accidentally looked up and saw a person standing in front of him. He couldn't help but be shocked.
"Uncle Wang, are you doing well?" Ya Shuo smiled.
"Aiya, Young Master Hao, you gave me a fright. Haha, good, good. I've made you remember me."
"Uncle Wang, is Azurepeak here? I've been looking for him all day."
"Oh, Young Master Hao, you don't know. My Young Master and Young Miss have returned to their hometown."
"What? Ya Shuo's mouth was wide open. He had only been back for half a year. Why did he go back?”
" Sigh, Young Master Hao, my Young Master has been busy at the factory these days. He planned to go back to take a look at the beginning of autumn, but…but…this…"
"But what? Uncle Wang, what's wrong?”Ya Shuo was surprised.
"It's said that a letter from my hometown said that something had happened, so Young Master brought Young Miss back overnight. They left three days ago, so they should be back in the countryside by today."
"What happened?"
" Young Master didn't say anything. He only said that we'll talk about it when we get back." Uncle Wang shook his head with a blank expression.
" Oh, is that so?" Ya Shuo's eyes fell into deep thought. He stood there and couldn't think of any urgent matter that would make someone with a steady personality like Qing Feng rush home overnight. Moreover, he didn't have time to leave a message with Uncle Wang.
Yashuo greeted Uncle Wang and left on his bicycle. He did not go back immediately and went to the hospital. He had originally planned to catch up with Qingfeng today, but who knew that he would be rejected. Then he would go to the hospital. Anyway, he had nowhere to go now. Moreover, he had to bandage his leg injury. He could still fend off Zhang Lin's questioning at night.
After leaving the hospital, he went to the Western Cafe. This time, he was careful not to sit by the window. Instead, he entered the VIP room. This VIP room was specially used for business. It was surrounded by walls, and once the door was closed, the soundproofing was very good. There was a coffee table and two sofas. Yashuo sat down on the soft sofa and did not want to stand up. These few days, no, for more than a month, he had been sleeping on a hard brick bed and sitting on a bench. It was not like his own life. Thinking about how he had grown up with a golden key in his mouth, he was respected wherever he went. Now, he had become a handyman in a bun shop. Sigh, what a bad fate. However, this was also good. At least when he ran away from home, he told his father that he would definitely do earth-shattering things to make them look at him in a different light. If he suffered a little now, he would really become a pillar of the country during the war in the future. That would really be bitter first before sweet. When that day came, no one would say that he was a profligate son. When Ya Shuo thought of this, he immediately threw the hardships he had suffered these days to the back of his mind. He thought of Azurepeak and was very worried about him. He had been thinking about what had happened to his family, but he could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought.
After sitting in the cafe for the whole day and taking a nap on the sofa, Yashuo rode his bike back to the shop. When Zhang Lin saw that he was back, he really wanted to see how his leg injury was. Seeing that it had been professionally bandaged by the hospital, he was relieved. Ya Shuo looked at Zhang Lin's relieved expression. He didn't know if it was because he was worried that his leg injury wouldn't get infected or because he thought that he didn't lie to him. Who knew!
Let's talk about Azurepeak and Meng Lin. Three days ago, they departed from Shanghai overnight and got off the ship at the dock this morning. Azurepeak received the letter. After receiving it, his expression was solemn. Without saying anything, he started to let Meng Lin pack his luggage. Meng Lin had never seen his brother so serious that it made people afraid. He did not dare to ask any more questions and obediently packed his luggage. Fortunately, there was a boat that departed in the middle of the night. There were a few seats left, and Azurepeak bought the tickets. On the boat, Meng Lin carefully asked his brother what was going on at home. Azurepeak paused for a moment, and after a long time, he said," You'll know when we get there." Then, Meng Lin did not dare to ask any more questions along the way. When they arrived at the dock of their hometown, Azurepeak called for a Japanese car. The driver pulled the two of them and jogged all the way. In the Japanese car, the silent Azurepeak said,
"Menglin, have you always been good at dreaming?”
"Dream on? What dream?" Meng Lin did not know what his brother was talking about.
"Do you still remember the nightmare you told me about?”
Meng Lin thought about it carefully. He had told his brother about this two months ago. That dream, it seemed…it seemed like his father had come to Shanghai to visit him. He didn't know why he had suddenly disappeared…Thinking of this, Meng Lin couldn't help but shiver.
"Brother, you said…that my dreams are very effective. What do you mean?”Meng Lin's face was filled with fear and nervousness.
Azurepeak looked at her calmly. After a long time, he finally said," Our father…he's gone."”
