"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, but 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. Recently, I've also met some strange people. 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.”
"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 place great importance on military pay. At that time, we will have the money to contribute and the strength to contribute.”
"Yes." 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.”
"Not bad." 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 subjugated 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. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!”Azurepeak recalled the scene of him being chased down and still had lingering fears. "Fortunately, they didn't shoot at that time. Otherwise, I would have brought Menglin with me. Menglin doesn't know martial arts and it would have been 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 did not respond and continued to cry. He patted the shoulder of a strong man and said,"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 and 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 couldn't help but moan.”She started crying.
This sob. Her cries 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 again. He felt that there was no hope of going home. He would miss home at night, so he often woke up in the middle of the night.”The ground cried miserably.
Later on, the people at the foot of the mountain really couldn't stand this.”someone invited a Taoist priest to go up the mountain to perform a ritual. The Taoist priest lit two big candles and dipped two pieces of paper on the candles. He held a mahogany sword and chanted something. 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 circle of fire was about to die out, he took out a clay jar and put the paper on the wooden sword into the jar. Then, 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.
