Chapter 315 The Story of the White Butterfly

I stayed in a hotel for one night. The next morning, Zhang Haotian hired a taxi to go to Z County, which is more than 100 kilometers away from H City.

Two hours later, Z County arrived, but Na Ningxiu Town was still 30 kilometers away. The taxi driver had been there, so he did not enter the county town, but turned into an asphalt road from the right side of the county town.

In just half an hour, I turned over a vegetable field and saw some buildings from afar, which should be Ningxiu Town.

The driver stopped the car outside the town and said to Zhang Haotian: "Sir, I'm sorry, this town is an ancient building protection area, and cars cannot enter."

Zhang Haotian nodded, then paid to get out of the car, carried a suitcase he carried with him, and walked in along a bluestone road.

As you move forward slowly, you can see that this is a quiet town. There are ancient houses on both sides of the bluestone road, almost all made of wood. You can see some folk carving art from time to time, but traces of modern renovation can still be seen in many places.

Although this is an ancient building protection area, because it is far from H City, tourists can rarely be seen, and there are not many people walking on the street in this town.

When Zhang Haotian walked on this quiet street, he suddenly felt like he was returning to a hundred years ago. It was just the clothes worn by pedestrians passing by and people sitting by the house chatting, which made people know that this was in modern society.

Ningxiu Town is really not big. After walking slowly for twenty minutes, I saw the end of the town. Behind the town, there was a mountain, lush and green.

Of course, Zhang Haotian would not walk out of the town. He searched all the way and saw an old lady wearing coarse cloth clothes with white hair and grey hair not far ahead, at least seventy years old, was sitting at the door of her house embroidered soles with shoes. Although she was short and thin, her hands holding the needle were not trembling, and she was not wearing reading glasses, and she was in good health.

I knew in my heart that this old lady must live here for generations, and Ningxiu Town is not big. If she didn't know the news about the descendants of the White Butterfly, it would probably be difficult to find clues.

So Zhang Haotian walked over and called out, "Hello, old lady, I want to ask you about a family, I wonder if you can tell me?"

The old lady didn't tremble her hands, her eyes were not blurred, and her ears were naturally not deaf. After listening to his words, she raised her head and said, "You want to inquire about that family. I don't know about the people in this town."

Although Zhang Haotian listened to her words, he still had the charm of Wu Nong's soft words. Fortunately, she did not completely speak the difficult language of hometown at this time. She could communicate and did not talk too much at the moment. She said directly: "Qin Xiulian, have you heard of this person's name? She is from your town."

Unexpectedly, when he heard his question, the old lady answered very simply, nodding her head constantly, and said with respect: "Know, know, of course, know, who in the whole town knows Qin Xiulian? She has a very beautiful nickname called "White Butterfly". In the old society, she was an amazing female hero who promoted good and punished evil, robbed the rich and helped the poor. In this radius of hundreds of miles, all those landlords and bullies were not afraid of her. She was my idol when she was a child. Haha, I like to dress her in white cloth the most, and I was beaten by my mother."

When Zhang Haotian saw the old lady's energetic appearance, he was overjoyed. He heard from his master Lu Dongjie that when he met a white butterfly on the beach, she was already quite famous. Now it seems that her reputation has emerged in her hometown, and she is also a legendary figure in the people's mouths.

So he hurriedly said, "Old lady, I was entrusted by an old man to find this white butterfly. He was once the closest person to Bai Butterfly, but later he was separated. The old man had passed away, but before he died, he told me to help him find the descendants of Bai Butterfly and tell them something, so I would like to ask you, are the descendants of Bai Butterfly still in the town?"

The old lady immediately shook her head and said, "You can find someone from the Qin family, but it may be a bit difficult to find Qin Xiulian's descendants."

Zhang Haotian knew that if the White Butterfly Qin Xiulian was not dead, she was over ninety years old and was one generation higher than the old lady, so he quickly said, "Old lady, why is this?"

When the old lady heard that Zhang Haotian was entrusted by Qin Xiulian's acquaintance, she seemed very enthusiastic. She looked at him and said, "Young man, you don't know that one-third of the people in our town are surnamed Qin and have relatives, so it is of course easy for you to find people from the Qin family. However, Qin Xiulian has never come back since the establishment of the new government, and I have never seen her descendants."

Hearing this, Zhang Haotian felt very disappointed and said, "Who is Qin Xiulian's closest relative here? Will he know?"

The old lady pointed to an alley on the right side of the town and said, "When you walk into that alley, you will see a red wooden door with a copper tiger door knocker on it. Qin Changyin, the head of this family, is Qin Xiulian's nephew. Go and ask him, if he doesn't know, there is nothing he can do."

Zhang Haotian thanked the old lady and walked towards the alley she mentioned.

The alley is very deep, and only two people can walk in parallel. Zhang Haotian walked for a while and indeed saw a big red door, and there was a copper tiger door knocker on the door. He knew it was Qin Xiulian's nephew Qin Changyin's home.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, Zhang Haotian stopped because he thought of something. If he just asked Qin Changyin so directly, he might not be willing to tell the truth. Then, he needed to make up another set of words to let him take the initiative to tell the whereabouts of Qin Xiulian's descendants without any concealment.

After thinking for a while, he came up with the idea, then went to take the door knocker and knocked on the door.

After a while, I heard footsteps coming from inside. The door opened with a "gaji" and an old lady in her sixties walked out. She was white and fat, and she was very energetic.

When he saw Zhang Haotian standing outside, who was tall and handsome, wearing a blue T-shirt, the old lady looked at him carefully and then said, "Young man, who are you looking for?"

Seeing that she was not very old, Zhang Haotian said, "Auntie, I'm here to find Mr. Qin Changyin. I wonder if he is at home?"

The fat and fat old lady nodded and said, "I'm here, but what are you doing with him?"

Zhang Haotian estimated that this should be Qin Changyin's wife, so he smiled and said, "Auntie, that's right. I'm a martial arts master. I once worshiped a master. When he was dying, he told me something that he had received great kindness from a hero named Bai Butterfly in the past, and he felt incomparable. Now he died and left more than one million yuan in property. I asked me to come here to see if I could find the descendants of this hero and give them the money. So I found out here that I don't know if Mr. Qin is Bai Butterfly's nephew."

Hearing Zhang Haotian say this, the fat and white old lady immediately showed a smile on her face and said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, of course, Bai Butterfly is the second aunt of our family. There is nothing wrong with it. Please come in, please come in quickly."

Few people can resist the charm of money. Seeing this old lady so enthusiastic, Zhang Haotian smiled slightly and walked in. He immediately saw a courtyard of nearly a hundred square meters, and then surrounded by carved wooden houses on three sides, with some flowers and plants planted around it. In Ningxiu Town, this should be called a wealthy home.

The old lady quickly walked towards a room in front and said as she walked: "Old Qin, Lao Qin, we are here to stay away from home."

While speaking, he saw an old man wearing a white sweatshirt and tall figure walking out of the room. Although he had some age spots on his face, he was also in good spirits from his actions. Of course, he should be the nephew of White Butterfly Qin Changyin, who is about seventy years old.

Zhang Haotian immediately walked over, stretched out his hand to Qin Changyin, and smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Qin, my name is Zhang Haotian. I was entrusted by someone to come to Ningxiu Town."

At this time, the fat and fat old lady told him about his purpose. When Qin Changyin heard this, she smiled and said that the sunshine in the yard was too strong and asked him to go to the inner room to speak.

After Qin Changyin entered a room, he saw it was a living room. Although the tables and chairs in the room were not made of precious sandalwood, they were delicately carved and sturdy. Judging from the quality, they had at least decades of history.

The old lady went to make tea, sat next to Qin Changyin, looked at Zhang Haotian and said, "Young man, what's your master's name? What kind of kindness have you ever received from the second aunt?"

Zhang Haotian had already seen that the old lady was a greedy person, so it was easy to deal with. He smiled slightly and said, "My master is Liu Jing. He had been in Shanghai in the old society. At that time, he was a young man selling fruits. Once he accidentally ran into a bully. As a result, the bully asked him to pay a lot of money. Of course, my master couldn't take it out, so the bully beat him to death. At that time, he happened to be met by the Female Qin and punished the fox. He also introduced to my Master a famous martial arts master in Shanghai to learn art. From then on, he changed my Master's life. So he always remembered this great kindness. He found out that Female Qin was from Ningxiu Town and wanted to come and ask about her news. However, later he was paralyzed in a fight and could no longer walk. He always felt regretful in his heart, so he gave me this fate when he was dying."

Listening to Zhang Haotian's words, Qin Changyin had no doubts at all, but nodded and said, "Yes, my second aunt was an amazing person back then. She robbed the rich and helped the poor, beat the Japanese devils, and became a high-ranking official in the government. People in our area mentioned my second aunt, and there were still people who told her stories until now."

As for the White Butterfly, in addition to letting Zhang Haotian avenge his shame, Lu Dongjie rarely mentioned it. When he heard that Ning Xiuzhen was praising her, Zhang Haotian couldn't help but say, "Mr. Qin, can you tell me more about the Qin female hero?"

The white butterfly is the pride of the Qin family. When Qin Changyin heard that Zhang Haotian wanted to know her deeds, he immediately came to his spirit and said, "Talk about my second aunt, I am really an amazing woman. Although there are many people in Ningxiu Town, our family was the poorest among all the people named Qin in the town. My grandparents had five children in total, but only brought my father and second aunt to live. Even so, I still couldn't raise the children all year round. When my second aunt was ten years old, I sold it to an old landlord in the town as a maid. Two years later, the old landlord saw that my second aunt was getting more and more beautiful, so he had her idea and wanted to defile her. But when he pulled my second aunt into the house and wanted to be bad, my second aunt stabbed him in the eye with scissors and then escaped."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "But my second aunt is lucky. On the way to escape, I met a circus troupe. The circus master saw that she was good-looking and could help him make money, so he took her in and taught her soft skills and flying knife skills. My second aunt is smart and endured hardships. Soon, she learned these skills. Because she is beautiful and skillful, she always likes to wear a white cloak when performing, just like a butterfly, so the head teacher gave her a stage name called White Butterfly."

Hearing this, Zhang Haotian nodded and said, "Oh, it turns out that the name White Butterfly comes from, but I heard that she started to be alone, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and killing many evil people. What must have happened to make it like this?"

Qin Changyin said "Yes": "When my second aunt was seventeen years old, she became very famous in the industry. However, once in a county town, the head of a security team fell in love with her and forced her to marry her as a concubine. The headmaster did not dare to offend the head of the security team, so he had to agree and go back and beg my second aunt to ask her to agree to this marriage, otherwise the entire circus would immediately cause big trouble..."

Zhang Haotian said: "White Butterfly will definitely agree, and the security commander will definitely be in trouble."

Qin Changyin nodded and said, "Yes, my second aunt agreed very simply, and then kowtowed to the headmaster three times to thank him for his raising and teaching skills over the past few years. She only asked him to take the circus out of the county town and walk far away and never come back."

At this time, he was thirsty, took a sip of tea, and said, "My second aunt asked the security commander to marry him in a lively manner. However, when he was in the bridal chamber at night, he suddenly took out a dagger hidden in advance, cut the security commander's neck with one knife, then went to find some gold, silver and jewelry, left the county town overnight, returned to Ningxiu Town, and committed a bloody case that shocked the provincial capital at that time."

Zhang Haotian was quite interested in hearing this and asked, "What kind of bloody incident is it?"

Qin Changyin said: "This matter starts with my second aunt escaping Ningxiu Town. The old landlord's right eye was blinded and was so angry that he blamed my grandparents on the head. First, he beat my grandpa to death with a group of dog legs, and then sold my grandma to a fifty-year-old man in the town. My grandma refused and hanged herself that night. My father did not let it go, and forced him to sign a lifelong contract. Our family can be said to be destroyed. Although the people in the town sympathized with him, they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Zhang Haotian immediately understood and said, "After Bai Butterfly came back, he saw the tragic situation in your family, and he would definitely kill the old landlord in anger."

Speaking of the miserable affairs at home, Qin Changyin gritted his teeth in hatred and said, "It's not just killing the old landlord. After my second aunt came back, she saw the family like this. After seeing my father, she immediately took the money to let him go to another place. That night, she killed all the thirteen members of the old landlord and his family were completely killed. Moreover, there were five people who participated in the killing of my grandfather. None of them were spared. They all broke into the house and ended their lives with a flying knife."

Although such revenge is inevitably a bit extreme, Zhang Haotian knew that if he was in a situation like the White Butterfly, he would have done the same thing. He felt a little happy in his heart and said, "So she became a lone hero later, right?"

Qin Changyin nodded and said, "My second aunt is so brave. After killing people, police and militia from all over the country were wanted. However, she still operated in more than a dozen nearby counties and did many things that were very pleasing. When the people mentioned her, they all said it was okay. Later, she was forced by the police and went to Shanghai, and then joined the "Iron Blood Anti-Traits Group" organized by the government, and did some grand and grand events. I heard that she married a high-ranking official, and she also had an official position. When I took my father back to Ningxiu Town, I was already in my teens. I still remember the situation at that time. It was really lively. The county magistrates and directors in the county followed her like pugs, and the mayor of our town could not even squeeze in."

Seeing Qin Changyin's pride, Zhang Haotian's heart moved and said, "Oh, Bai Butterfly got married with a senior government official. Who is it? Have you accompanied her to Ningxiu Town?"

Qin Changyin shook his head and said, "I heard that the second sister-in-law is from the Military Control Commission, and his identity must be kept secret. Moreover, he was fighting a civil war at that time, so he had no way to take time to come out to accompany his second sister. During that time, when I went to play with him, I always saw her lonely alone. As a result, I still don't know what the second sister-in-law is and what she looks like."

Hearing this, Zhang Haotian sighed in his heart. From Qin Changyin's description, he could already guess what kind of woman Bai Butterfly was. She should be quite strong and also pay attention to the distinction between grudges and grudges. She often acted chivalrously. During the "Iron Blood Anti-Trait Group", he assisted Wang Yaqiao and Lu Dongjie in dealing with Japanese politicians and traitors. It can be said that he did a lot of things that were beneficial to the nation and the country. Unfortunately, there was a problem with Lu Dongjie later, and he was lured by Japanese spy Saburo Tano, so he did a silence and stole the treasure map."

Zhang Haotian actually understood that the white butterfly stole the treasure map. Lu Dongjie was busy with official duties and had no time to accompany her. The couple began to quarrel. A handsome man with special training had the opportunity to take advantage of it. Just like Ye Binglan, he believed that even if he didn't kill He Dacheng, he would seduce her first and get her heart. A weak woman like Ye Binglan had resentment in her heart under his bewitching and threatening, and she could definitely be controlled by him.

However, what Zhang Haotian could not forgive Bai Butterfly was that Lu Dongjie had retired and no longer pursued her and Tian Ye Saburo. However, she would actually betray Lu Dongjie's whereabouts and wanted to kill Lu Dongjie. Although she was afraid that Lu Dongjie would not forgive her in the end and would come out to chase her one day, this was too cruel, regardless of the couple's feelings at all.

Thoughtful, Zhang Haotian also thought of some reasons. You should know that the White Butterfly was a very simple woman who only knew to repay grudges and repay gratitude. However, after entering the "Iron Blood Anti-Trait Group", he had to learn the skills of murder, either insidiously or insidiously. Moreover, interacting with people like Dai Li, subtly, and his mind would naturally change. Including Lu Dongjie, he was not as honest as he was doing things. When he fell in love with his own appearance, he found a way to let him go up to the tower, accept him as his disciple, and let him agree to seduce him.

The descendants of Bai Butterfly then abandoned them ruthlessly, and naturally felt shame and revenge in their hearts. It can be seen that the education of the Military Control Commission is, no wonder Dai Li would send many beautiful female spies to lurk everywhere, using his body to exchange for intelligence, and doing things only seeks the purpose and not the means. This is the core of the Military Control Commission education. Like the KGB in the former Soviet Union, the KGB he learned from Lu Dongjie should be the same as the military control commission, but he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to continue like this.

The fat and fat old lady could not wait to hear the conversation between the two. When she saw that they stopped talking, she interrupted and said, "Young man, didn't you say that your master has something to give to the descendants of the second aunt? In this town, only our family is closest to her."
