Xiao Suizi said: "I know this."
Lin Yue said: "Do you still have contact?"
Xiao Suizi nodded: "After you disappeared, Liu Feng was very sad, thinking that he was the one who harmed you, and he has always been very guilty. But the frontline staff never found the body. He insisted that you were still alive, saying that you would always bring people something Surprise. Later, in order to find you, he chose to retire and went to Beijing."
"What is he going to Beijing for?"
"Didn't you entrust He Xiaoping to take care of Badun? He thought that if you were alive, you would find it one day."
Needless to say, this Liu Feng is still a bit smart and knows how to go to Badun and wait for the rabbit.
Xiao Suizi continued: "He knows that I am also looking for you, and he writes to me every once in a while to ask for news, so... I know where he is."
"That's great. Hao Shuwen used to have a good relationship with Liu Feng. Let's go find him first when we arrive in Beijing."
"Um."
At this time, Lin Yue noticed that her expression was a little unnatural: "What's wrong?"
"No...nothing."
He didn't think much, turned around and continued walking towards the bus stop.
Xiao Suizi sighed from behind.
She was very happy that he could go to Beijing, but on the other hand, she felt at a loss because Beijing not only had Liu Feng, Zhu Ke, Little Ballet, Dolma, but also He Xiaoping.
…
Ten days later, Dongcheng, Beijing.
Lin Yue walked in front, and Xiao Suizi walked behind holding Hao Shuwen's hand.
The gate of the big house in the alley, the stone lions and the horse stones outside the gate of the big house, the uneven green brick road has candy wrappers stuffed by children, and the old woman with muddy eyes is sitting under the eaves, shaking a cattail leaf fan with one hand and riding a bicycle with the other. The young men and women passing by made comments.
It would be perfect if we added the old man carrying the birdcage and walking by with square steps, using authentic Beijing movies to talk about what kind of trouble this boy from such and such family had done.
For the scene before him, Lin Yue could only use the word "long time no see" to describe it.
"is it here?"
Seeing Lin Yue stop, Xiao Suizi looked at the private courtyard opposite and felt that the treatment was a bit luxurious.
"Yes, it's right here."
As he spoke, he stepped into the hospital.
The space inside is not large, with four main rooms, two wing rooms, and a small flower bed with a few clusters of roses.
Lin Yue shouted inside: "Is there anyone there?"
Soon, the spring-loaded door opened, and an old man and a young man walked out of the east room.
"Who are you……"
asked the young man with a straight waist.
That look in his eyes, his stance, and his temperament were unmistakable. He was a soldier.
"My name is Lin Yue, from Chengdu."
"Oh, it's Battalion Commander Lin." The young man rushed down the stairs, held his hand with both hands and said, "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. My name is Chen Hui. It was Mr. Xiao who asked me to wait for you here. It was originally I want to pick you up at the train station, but..."
Lin Yue waved his hand: "No need. In fact, I am quite familiar with this area. By the way, I have retired from the army, so don't call me Battalion Commander Lin anymore."
Father Hao said he could rest assured that Hao Shuwen would follow him, but how could he not care at all? After all, she was his biological daughter. When he and Xiao Suizi were still in Chengdu, Father Hao asked an old friend in Beijing to help find a house so that they could have a place to stay when they arrived. .
However, because the train was passing through Henan, he suddenly decided to go see a comrade who was injured by a landmine during the war. He expected to be a few days late, so he called Hao's father's friend and told him that there was no need to send someone to pick him up. He could find the paper by himself. address on the strip.
"Then, Comrade Lin Yue..." Chen Hui always felt a little uncomfortable being called that. He had heard the story of the man in front of him from Mr. Xiao. He was more of a legend than a fighting hero.
"Oh, by the way, let me introduce to you. This is Aunt Hong, the person Mr. Xiao has hired to take care of your daily life."
Lin Yue smiled and called "Aunt Hong".
The middle-aged woman next to Chen Hui smiled shyly, and it was obvious that she was an honest and responsible person.
"Hao Shuwen, Xiao Suizi." Lin Yue also introduced the two girls to them.
Chen Hui nodded to them and then picked up the luggage on the ground: "You must be tired after riding the train for so long. Come on, let's go inside and rest for a while."
Of course Lin Yue was okay, but Xiao Suizi and Hao Shuwen were not. Each of them had two dark circles under his eyes, and they couldn't rest well at first sight.
"Let's go."
Lin Yue held Hao Shuwen's hand and walked towards the house.
Her situation is indeed much better than before, but she still looks fearful in front of strangers.
Xiao Suizi yawned twice and was about to carry her bag in. At this time, Aunt Hong took the lead and held the heavy suitcase in her hand. She could not refuse, so she could only let nature take its course.
After settling down, Lin Yue did not go to Liu Feng immediately. He gave Hao Shuwen a week to adapt to the environment here. He would take her for a walk every morning to Shichahai or Ditan Park, and to the most popular Wangfujing and Dongdan Markets at noon. She rushed up early in the morning and went to see the flag-raising ceremony with Xiao Suizi. After she gradually got used to the life here and no longer showed her nervousness to the pedestrians and vehicles on the street, she called Xiao Suizi and went to work at Liu Feng. place.
…
There is an old shopping mall waiting to be demolished at Shashakou outside Yongding Gate. Due to inconvenient transportation and poor living environment, it has been abandoned by young people who pursue fashion and like cleanliness. Only some elderly people still come to hang out nearby and hang out among the hanging malls. Shops with "clearance processing" signs can buy some useful daily necessities. In this era when you can make money by selling anything, it is in sharp contrast to the popularity of Xidan, Dongdan and Chang'an Street business districts.
"Are you sure this is here?" Xiao Suizi held a piece of paper with the address in her hand. She looked left and right and found that this place was too messy, with privately connected wires, rickety shacks, and piles of garbage. The corner, the dilapidated eaves and the scattered antenna poles above... This... was even more backward than the alley near Baoguo Temple that Lin Yue took her to a few days ago.
"You can't go wrong, this is it."
As he talked, he walked inside. At this time, a black cat jumped out of the roof in front of him. Hao Shuwen was so frightened that she hugged his arm. Her face was pale, her eyes were dull, and her nails were digging into her skin. White seal.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's just a cat." He endured the pain and patted the back of her hand: "Remember Liu Feng? Liu Feng, the live star of our art troupe."
Hearing this name, Hao Shuwen relaxed a lot. The panic in her eyes slowly dissipated. She looked at him and said, "Liu Feng?"
"Yes, Liu Feng, the Liu Feng who always helps your band move. Once the strap of your accordion came apart, he helped you sew it up."
Hao Shuwen seemed to recall the past, and there was a smile on her lips: "Liu Feng, is he... okay?"
"I will take you to find him now. You can ask him yourself later whether he is doing well or not."
"Um."
At this time, Lin Yue made a move that surprised Xiao Suizi. He suddenly pushed Hao Shuwen behind him and strode forward.
During the war, was this how he carried her back to the camp...
"The terrain here is complicated. Do you want to find someone to ask?"
Andingmen Street in the early 1980s was very different from 40 years later. According to the judgment standards of later generations, it can definitely be called a "slum". You have to find the red art dance on the note in this messy building complex. Group, the difficulty is easier than finding a needle in a haystack, and harder than panning for gold in the waves.
"No need." Lin Yue looked back at her: "Don't worry, I said you can find it if you can."
"How long have you been, and you still want to show off your strength?" Xiao Suizi was a little irritated.
Lin Yue said: "Aren't you curious about what else I can hide from you?"
Xiao Suizi frowned: "What do you mean?"
"The eyes of an eagle, the ears of a wolf, the strength of a bear, the speed of a leopard...well, I don't have any of these."
"Lin Yue!"
"But I have a nose as good as a hunting dog. I can smell Liu Feng's sweat from working two miles away. And you know, Liu Feng is not the only acquaintance here."
"ah?"
