On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Wei Ran and Suisui, who had spent three days home at grandma's house to protect her, took Kajianka and others to the capital on the high-speed rail.

In the past few days, the Hela girls who were divided into two groups have already gone to the southernmost end of China to enjoy the sunny beach and coastline. The other group is staying at the giant panda's hometown and sharing the scenery and food they have taken on their registered social platforms.

Perhaps out of some tacit understanding, the first set of photos shared by these girls were all taking photos of Wei Ran and Sui Sui’s grandmother’s house eating a big mat.

The result is self-evident, and these girls have basically confirmed the "good reputation" of a historian.

In contrast, Jima and Maya, and even Nenell and Olija are much more low-key.

At this time, they had already bid farewell to Xia Shushi and Qin Qi, and rushed to the mountain city together, and were being tortured by the spicy hot pot in the air-raid shelter.

Sending Sui Sui and others to their gang den, Wei Ran drove alone to the valley surrounded by peach forests in the suburbs of Beijing.

In the long run, this wasteland surrounded by barbed wire has been covered with weeds and snow, leaving only a string of hares and wild birds footprints.

Opening the locked iron door, Wei Ran paved the gravel at the entrance as usual and checked it. Then he carefully checked the "carport" until he was sure that there was no change, and there was no more or less. Then he gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain and took out the DT30 transport truck in the metal notebook.

Lying on the cold ground, he slowly slowed down. Then he opened the cargo hold of the transport truck and pushed the suitcase with the phoenix crown into it.

Without too much delay, Wei Ran, who had not had enough time, curled up his sleeves and put away the transport truck. After his body recovered, he immediately turned around and locked the rusty door.

After getting into the car and changing into a formal outfit, he immediately drove to the airport in a hurry.

He had to hurry. In less than an hour and a half, Grant Downey Jr., who came from the United States, and his half-breed brother Brad Downey Jr., were about to arrive.

Of course, he didn't have to worry too much. At this time, Xia Soseki and Qin Qi were actually waiting at the airport, but he, the middleman, had to show off to be worthy of the commission paid by Grant Downey, little.

He hurried to the airport pick-up hall. A long way away, he saw Xia Shuseki dressed up as a man and Qin Qi who was accompanying him.

"You're finally here"

While seeing Wei Ran, Xia Shushi immediately waved and greeted him enthusiastically.

"I took the wrong expressway exit on the road"

Wei Ran casually made an excuse, "Are you ready?"

“Ready”

Xia Soseki said, "The second generation helped me borrow a yard nearby, and helped me book a hotel in advance, so we can go there to chat later."

"Listen to your arrangements." Wei Ran responded indifferently.

"You've become popular again these two days." Xia Shushi greeted Wei Ran and sat down and teased.

"Don't mention it"

Wei Ran shook his head laughed and cried, he was too lazy to explain.

“I have good news here”

Xia Shushi said, Qin Qi had already taken out a file bag from her bag and handed it to Wei Ran.

After curiously looking at the two of them, Wei Ran took the file bag and opened it, but found that there were only three photos inside.

"That letter?" Wei Ran asked immediately.

"Yes," Xia Soseki nodded, "You can read it first, and then tell you after reading it."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ran looked at the first photo.

This photo shows the cover of the letter. After repair, it was once covered by stains, and a broken character "Xia" was spelled out with bullet holes.

In the photo, this word is also p-shaped with a clear red circle. Obviously, this word should be the key.

Looking at the second picture, this time I took a picture of the letter inside. Even after professional cleaning, it was already contaminated with blood and was so mottled that it had large pieces of defects.

Even so, he could still recognize the remaining traditional characters of the letter written in a fountain pen.

Father, mother, brother:

Last month, I asked my fellow villager Youze to bring a letter... and I will return and recuperate... one letter.

...and the bride... Although the color is green..., there is no... I feel... I have already...

I am afraid of foolishness... the second half... happiness, hope... pity the spring color... filial piety, help... choose the best...

...

...At the time, I... I'll fight with Fas... The tenth brigade..., participate in... training...

Returning...day...

I hope my father, mother, brother, sister-in-law and nephew are healthy...

...

...Listen...The Japanese invaders invaded...the hometown, the years are formed...the country is destroyed...I don't know what the family is...

...

Is my father healthy? Is my mother healthy? My brother, sister-in-law and younger brother... please give me a message...

If possible, I hope the letter will come... Just... you can post to the mail...

...

The sons, nephews and brothers... still hope that their fathers and brothers will participate in the reform...work... and not... after the times... it is even more unfavorable to the country......

Please help me...resist...invade...invade...

...

Unfilial...Lin...respect.

On July 7, 2018, in Spain...

Or...the final...

After reading the mottled and incomplete letter in the photo, Wei Ran remained silent for a long time, then took a deep breath and looked at the last photo.

In this photo, the same photo was taken, a black and white photo.

In this photo, there is also a bullet hole in the lower right corner in the middle. It can be seen from the rest of the repaired parts that are thin, not tall, and wearing the uniform of the Spanish International Column and a bright smile on its face.

He had only a short layer of hair and a Spanish version of the M1893 rifle in his hand. Behind him, as the background, there seemed to be a winding trenches.

"That's all?" Wei Ran asked with his head raised.

"That's all"

Xia Soseki said, "But after visiting, the receiving address has been found."

"Finally found?" Wei Ran's face showed surprise.

"Xiafeifang in Shanghai is now called Huaihaifang."

Xia Shushi took the photo handed back by Wei Ran and handed it to Qin Qi, "My teacher conducted a detailed visit through official power and finally found an indigenous person named Yu."

"Have you contacted?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.

"I finally got in touch"

Xia Shushi nodded, "Yu Yanlin has an older brother named Yu Yanting. During the Battle of Songhu, Yu Yanting served as the platoon leader in the 15th Army under the left wing army and failed to survive."

"There are descendants... Are there descendants?" Wei Ran asked.

"The child bride Chuncai mentioned in that letter never got married in her life. After the Battle of Songhu, she, her sister-in-law and her parents-in-law took Yu Yanting's youngest son Yu Guangfu to escape all the way, and went to Hongdu and Changsha one after another, and finally escaped to the mountain city."

Xia Shushi sighed when he said this, "When he arrived at the mountain city, only this child bride, Chuncai, and Yu Yanting's youngest son, Yu Guangfu.

She took the child to survive in the mountain city by doing laundry and sewing for the rich wife.

Later, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chuncai brought Yu Guangfu back to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. In 1959, she became ill after overwork and died of illness in her old house in Huaihaifang.

Yu Guangfu, who was raised by her, joined the army in 1954 and caught up with the self-defense counterattack against India.

After demobilization in 1963, he took the initiative to apply to join Xinjiang to support the border and became a primary school teacher, and he got married there.

It was already 90 years since he returned to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. At that time, Mr. Yu Guangfu had retired and their family moved back to the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

Speaking of this, Xia Shushi smiled, "It's also good for good people. At that time, they settled their home in Pudong, and a few years later, they carried out large-scale development there. They followed Dongfeng and lived a good life."

"Are you still alive?" Wei Ran asked.

"Alive"

Xia Shushi nodded, "Old Master Yu Guangfu is still alive, and his body is pretty tough. He is now renting a house in Huaihaifang, near their former old house."

Upon hearing this, Wei Ran breathed a little relieved, "It's good if you find it."

"My teacher just visited Mr. Yu yesterday."

Xia Shushi said, "He said that he had heard his mother, the child bride of the Yu family, talk about his father and his uncle since he was a child.

But he only knew that his father died in the Battle of Songhu, but he never knew that his uncle actually joined the Spanish International Column."

"Where did Yu Yanlin go in that... Chuncai's story?" Wei Ran asked.

"According to Mr. Yu's recollection, his aunt Chuncai... He said that Chuncai never allowed him to call her mother, so he could only call her aunt.

His aunt said that his uncle Yu Yanlin went to Germany to study in 1934. The last time they contacted him was a letter from his classmates in the beginning of 1937.

In the letter, there was a divorce letter for Chuncai, asking her not to wait for him. He also said that he might not be able to return to China for the time being. After the Battle of Songhu broke out, the family fled for several years and completely cut off contact.

Later, Chuncai took his children back to Huaihaifang, and in fact he was waiting for Yu Yanlin, thinking that he might still be alive and could come back."

Speaking of this, Xia Shushi sighed, "Old Master Yu's aunt said that she burned the divorce letter in front of his grandparents, and then married the photo of Yu Yanlin.

She always thought that Yu Yanlin had changed her mind, but she had been waiting for the heartless and unscrupulous man for the rest of her life, and she kept talking about the heartless and unscrupulous man until she died of anger."

Speaking of this, Xia Shushi took out his cell phone and called up a photo and handed it to Wei Ran, "This is the one left by Chuncai. Mr. Yu said that it was their love token."

After taking the phone, the photo was a lotus-shaped pendant. This pendant was only the size of a thumb belly, and was made of warm mutton fat jade. The position of the lotus heart was also a little red and yellow.

Returning the phone to the other party, Wei Ran was silent for a moment and asked, "When will I go and visit? I brought back those things, Yu Yanlin's seal and pendant, and I brought back the flag."
