A strange man came out of the house. He was a native of the northeast. He was middle-aged and had a burly figure. Ya Shuo asked if there was anyone called Dong Fanbai here. The man who opened the door said that he was him. Ya Shuo asked if he knew Zhang Lin, and the other party's eyes lit up and said that he knew him. Ya Shuo saw that his expression did not look like he was lying, so he explained his intentions and handed the letter to him with ease. When this person called Dong Fanbai saw that the envelope was Zhang Lin's handwriting, he did not dare to be negligent and invited the two into the house.
The two of them drank tea and waited for Old Dong to finish reading the letter. After Old Dong finished reading it, he held Ya Shuo's hands with a touched expression and thanked him for everything he had done for Zhang Lin and the organization. After that, they followed Zhang Lin's instructions and told Ya Shuo their identities. They were all members of an underground organization. Zhang Lin was the leader of this organization, and he was the team leader. Dong Fanbai was the deputy team leader. The two of them were placed in the south and the north to coordinate with the north and south, recruit talents, and expand the scope of the organization. At present, only Zhang Lin and Old Dong were party members. The others wanted to apply to join the party and were in the testing stage. Zhang Lin's letter specifically mentioned that he was very optimistic about Ya Shuo's character and ability. He wanted Old Dong to talk to Ya Shuo. If he was willing to join the organization and contribute to the country, he would become the third party member. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. People who joined the party had to go through a long period of observation and review. Without a few years of testing, they would not dare to think about it. However, due to Ya Shuo's outstanding performance and his great achievements in a short period of time, and most importantly, his character and outstanding ability were appreciated by Zhang Lin. He felt that he was a rare genius that only appeared once in a hundred years, so he gave the green light. Ya Shuo listened to Old Dong say all this and said that he would consider it for a while. He appeared very calm. In fact, he had already thought about what Kaizi had told him on the train and what he had seen and heard at the bun shop. He had long thought that the letter might be about joining the party. Although Ya Shuo had long wanted to use this opportunity to do something earth-shattering and contribute to the country, he couldn't rush it. He always remembered what his grandfather had taught him: "”. This was also the secret behind his grandfather's power for decades.
"Uncle Dong, can you give me some time to think about it?”
"Alright, alright. Think about it. Young man, this is a good opportunity to bring glory to the country. You must not miss it!”
"Aiya, Brother Yashuo, I really envy you. I came earlier than you, but I don't have your ability.”Kai Zi revealed an envious expression and was also happy for Ya Shuo.
"The two of you chat first. I'll go prepare the food first. Tonight, I'll let you taste our northeast stew.”
"Uncle Dong, just make some. Don't go through too much trouble.”
"No trouble, no trouble." Uncle Dong waved his hand and went into the kitchen happily.
At dinner time, the three men sat cross-legged on the brick bed. The table was filled with bones, stew, cabbage vermicelli, fried peanuts, cucumber pickles, and yellow bread. Uncle Dong served three bowls of soup and said that he didn't drink. He was afraid that drinking would delay things. He said,"Try my soup." Ya Shuo and Kai Zi did not eat much on the train and were already so hungry that their eyes were blurry. When they saw the sumptuous food in front of them, they could not stop smiling. They repeatedly said that Uncle Dong was too polite and how embarrassed they were! Uncle Dong said that we're all family. You guys should hurry up and eat. We'll talk after you're full. Before he could finish his words, Yashuo started wolfing down his food, and his politeness disappeared.
After drinking a few bowls of soup, they were so full that only the bones were left. There were almost no other dishes left. They could not sit still anymore, so they put down their chopsticks. Seeing that they were full, Uncle Dong poured them some tea and started chatting slowly.
Uncle Dong said that everyone knew that there were three treasures in the northeast, deer antler, ginseng, and sable. In fact, there was another treasure in the northeast that had been neglected by people. It was fertile land. However, the Japanese did not ignore this matter. They once threatened that if the three eastern provinces were occupied by them, they would use high-end technology to study the quality of the land and use the land in the northeast to feed 1.2 billion people. Therefore, the Japanese were always eyeing the precious land of China. As early as a few years ago, there were rumors that there would be a war between China and Japan. Although there had been no war, as long as one observed carefully, one would find that some big cities had a sense of urgency. Originally, there were not that many Japanese coming to China to open factories. In recent years, there were suddenly more Japanese factories. Moreover, these factories used the banner of friendly exchanges between China and Japan, but there were hidden murderous intentions. The ambitions of the Japanese would not easily give up on this precious land, so they needed the Chinese to arm themselves in time and be prepared to fight at any time. As he spoke, Uncle Dong asked about Yashuo. He read in the letter that Yashuo had the ability to hear the sound of bullets flying, so he asked where he learned this skill. Ya Shuo didn't want to expose his family background so easily. He said that his grandfather had this ability and that he had inherited his grandfather's genes. Uncle Dong suddenly became interested in his grandfather again. He asked him what his grandfather's name was and where he had worked. Yashuo's heart sank. He blamed himself for letting it slip and was also considering how to reject Uncle Dong. Uncle Dong seemed to see that Ya Shuo was in a difficult position, so he quickly smoothed things over and changed the topic. However, Uncle Dong did not let go of this matter. Yashuo's unparalleled ability and his family background aroused his interest. Moreover, Zhang Lin's letter did not mention Yashuo's background, which meant that even Zhang Lin did not know where this Hao Yashuo came from. Uncle Dong's heart was beating fast, thinking," Hao Yashuo's family background must not be simple. Who is his grandfather?"
The three of them unknowingly chatted until night. Uncle Dong saw them yawning non-stop, so he cleared out an east wing room for them to rest early. After washing up, the two of them got into bed early. It was the first time that Yashuo and Kaizi came to the northeast, so they were new to everything around them. They even felt that the brick beds in the northeast were different from those in Shanghai's bun shop. Kaizi said that Northeasterners were used to sleeping on a brick bed, so Zhang Lin went to Shanghai to make a brick bed. In fact, most people in Shanghai slept on a bed. For some reason, the two of them became more and more excited as they chatted. They were no longer sleepy at the dining table. Afraid of disturbing Uncle Dong in the west wing, Kaizi tiptoed out of bed and closed the door of the east wing. The two of them sat on the brick bed and started chatting softly.
Kaizi told Yashuo that his life was very miserable. His parents died early and he grew up with his grandparents. A few years later, his grandparents fell ill and passed away one after another. He became a wild child that no one cared about. One winter, he almost froze to death on the streets. He was adopted by an old couple who had no children and became their godson. This couple was also poor, but they had insisted on raising a rich man for several years. Kaizi was also a grateful person. When he was 15 years old, he went out to do manual labor to earn money to support his family. In the past, their family didn't have enough to eat. They took in the rich man so that someone could take care of him in his old age. However, the rich man was also a hardworking person. He wasn't picky about work. As long as he was paid, he would do it. He often worked for a month and took time to run that job. At the end of the month, the money he earned was more than double that of the old couple. Ever since the rich man started working, not only did they have enough to eat every meal, but they also had a surplus. Their lives weren't considered rich, but they had food every day at home and didn't have to worry about food and drink.
As Yashuo listened to Kaizi's life experience, he felt that he was a lucky guy. He was born with a golden key and grew up in a honey jar. Even his car was bought with his father's money when he ran away from home. Running away from home this time really allowed him to gain a lot of knowledge and mature a lot. At least he knew the sufferings of the world and knew how to cherish it.
The two of them chatted until the second half of the night and fell asleep unknowingly.
The next day, the weather was sunny. Uncle Dong suggested taking the two of them out for a walk. Yashuo and Kaizi were so happy. After staying in Shanghai for a long time, they yearned for the unrestrained life in the mountains and forests. Uncle Dong carried the hunting rifle. The two of them helped him carry a sickle and a cloth bag. They followed Uncle Dong to the mountains to hunt.
After entering a large mountain, Uncle Dong cut some herbs and threw them into a cloth bag as he walked. He said that there were many kinds of herbs. Some were used to treat diarrhea, some were used to treat colds, and some were used to treat bruises. People in the mountains relied on mountains to survive. Don't look down on these flowers and plants. These free herbs were more effective than the medicine in the hospital in the city. Every time he came up the mountain, he would take some herbs back. With these things, small illnesses and disasters would not be difficult for him. Seeing that the sack was almost full, Uncle Dong said,"Let's go hunting. I'll roast wild rabbits for you tonight." Yashuo and Kaizi were amused when they heard that. They came here every day to eat and drink. There was meat and vegetables for every meal. They didn't help Uncle Dong much. They were really embarrassed. Uncle Dong acted according to the situation. He said that as long as Ya Shuo joined the party and helped the organization make a revolution, it would be a great help to Uncle Dong. Ya Shuo said that he would give himself a few more days to consider. Uncle Dong said that there was no hurry. You must wait for the limelight in Shanghai to subside before you can go back. There are many wild animals on the mountain. It would not be a problem to stay for a year and a half.
Uncle Dong led the two of them into a forest and found a place with tall grass to hide. Uncle Dong loaded the bullets and the rest was to wait patiently. After about half an hour, there was still no movement in the forest. Ya Shuo and Kai Zi had never hunted before, so how could they endure the pain of squatting in the grass without moving? Their feet were numb, and when they really couldn't squat anymore, they fell into the grass one after another. As soon as they lay down, the two of them quickly straightened their legs and relaxed. When the numbness gradually disappeared, the two of them lay in the grass and looked at the blue sky and white clouds. Ya Shuo suddenly thought of this scene. How nice it would be if he had another cup of coffee.
Uncle Dong remained in the same position as before, squatting and not moving at all. This made Ya Shuo admire him from the bottom of his heart, but he did not dare to talk to Uncle Dong, afraid that he would scare away his prey. While Ya Shuo and Kai Zi were admiring the scenery, they suddenly heard movement in the grass not far away. This movement was definitely not the sound of the wind blowing the grass. Ya Shuo quickly got up and found that there was a gray rabbit out to feed not far away from the three of them. It perked up its two ears and turned left and right, as if to confirm whether the surroundings were safe. Ya Shuo looked at Uncle Dong again. His index finger was already on the trigger, ready to go at any time.
