Chapter 16: The Pursuit and Search
Luohe explained for a long time, and finally let him get into the car, only then did he know that he had arrived in the area of Beiping and went to Baoding, which seemed to be not far from the patio......
Although there were more strangers in the car, they still did what they should do as if they were not affected, which made Luo He very sad (brother has no sense of existence...... )
"Don't worry, Yi Fu's kid is a thief and a ghost, he is afraid of eating the dust raised by our car, so he is far behind and does not follow!"
Bai Jie sighed and said, "If that's the case, then we don't have to worry!"
Bai Ma smiled: "Little sister's worry is also reasonable, let's go first, rest after going to the front, if they haven't caught up, go back to find it!"
As he spoke, he gossiped with Ashley: "Miss Ashley, this is your first time in China!"
When Ashley saw Bai Ma come to ask like this, she leaned back and smiled and said, "I'm here for the first time?"
The carriage people were a little shocked when they heard Ashley say this, Luo He couldn't hold back, and asked: "You grew up in China, but you are blonde and blue-eyed and an American girl, why did you grow up in China!"
Ashley smiled: "I'm an American girl and a Chinese girl!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the earthen house raised behind the carriage and said, "You see how interesting things are in China, even the earth fog raised by the village carriage is so poetic!"
Bai Jie saw that Ashley said naïvely, so he smiled and asked: "Ashley, your Chinese is really standard, even I, a native SH, have to bow down! Hey, by the way, you said that you grew up in China, what's going on!"
Ashley laughed loudly, looked at Bai Jie with a pair of intrigued eyes, and said: "Sister Bai, I learned this kind of Chinese from my mother; my mother is from Xi'an, and my father is American! My mother met and married my father when I was studying in the United States, and I returned to Xi'an at the age of 3; my grandmother was a middle school teacher and tutored me to learn Chinese every day; and I only spoke English when I went to study in the United States!"
Bai Jie sighed and said: "So you are 60% Chinese and 40% are American, but you have blonde hair and blue eyes, but you are a descendant of Yangglu-Saxon......"
Ashley listened to Bai Jie's words, and said with the same feelings: "My grandmother also said the same: Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Ziyi, according to your stature and language, you are Chinese; but the blonde hair and blue eyes are the descendants of the standard Yangglu-Saxons; if you let your grandmother say which country you belong to, your grandmother can only say that you are 60% Chinese and 40% American!"
Bai Jie smiled: "So Miss Ashley's Chinese name is Zhang Ziyi, and your mother's surname must be Zhang!"
"My mother's name is Zhang Ziyi, of course her surname is Zhang!" Ashley smiled and groaned, "My father's English name is William Blair; he also has a Chinese name called Hua Tuo; I don't follow my father, just Ashley!"
When Bai Jie heard that Ashley's father's Chinese name was Hua Tuo, she laughed and said, "Ashley, Ashley, your father is called Hua Tuo!"
Ashley glanced at Bai Jie and said, "Hua Tuo is the originator of Chinese surgeons, and my father is a surgeon, and he is determined to learn from Hua Tuo, so he gave himself the name Hua Tuo!"
Everyone was talking in the car, and a small village flashed in front of them.
Bai Ma estimated that the carriage had already traveled seventy or eighty miles, and thinking that everyone was hungry, he said to the second brother Bai Yu: "Second brother, let's rest in the village in front of us, let everyone drink water and eat some dry food, and wait for Yi Fu's carriage to come!"
Bai Yu answered, then drove the carriage to the entrance of the village and stopped, and after asking, he learned that this village is called Yanggezhuang, where four or five hundred families live.
Bai Yu saw that the villagers in Yang Gezhuang were sincere, so he gave a man named Yang Kuanxing 3 pieces of silver and asked him to cook a meal for 5 people.
In 1930, it was not easy to buy three bags of silver ocean, and if you bought pigs, it was two big fat pigs.
Yang Kuanxing went home and mobilized his mother, his aunt, his sister-in-law, and her daughter-in-law to prepare a sumptuous meal for Baima and his party - fried pork slices with green onions, fried green shoots with eggs, braised eggplant, cold bitter and bitter vegetables, egg soup, and dried white rice.
To be able to eat such a sumptuous meal during the journey in the chaotic years of war and chaos is really Amitabha!
Everyone ate their stomachs and mouths, and drank the two big teapots of sticky tea brought by Yang Kuanxing, and they didn't see Yi Fu's second carriage coming.
Bai Ma felt that the momentum was wrong, and said to Bai Yu in a panic: "Senior brother, do you know this kid Yi Fu?"
Bai Yu didn't know how to say it, so Bai Ma said: "I haven't caught up for so long, something must have happened!"
"Second brother, take out the guy, let's go find Yi Fu together!"
As the white horse spoke, he ran to the carriage and unloaded the red, white and black horses, and shouted to Yang Kuanxing, who was standing on the side: "Brother Yang, you find a place to put the carriage away, and this white horse will also be fed! Oh yes, these people will live in your Yanggezhuang at night, you will arrange a place to live, and when you leave, you will pay the house money!"
Yang Kuanxing said impassionedly: "Look at what Brother Bai said, we are already familiar with rice soup, and we still need to be so polite? You can rest assured, Yang will work in the village and arrange everything!"
Bai Ma clasped his fists with both hands and saluted Yang Kuanxing and said, "Then please Brother Yang!"
At this time, Bai Yu brought over the guy who was hiding under the carriage, which was four short guns and three large knives.
People who walk in the rivers and lakes must have this vigilance at all times, and take the guys there when they go there.
This time to Baoding to send people away, Bai Yu tied a cloth bag under the carriage in advance, and put the guy who should be brought inside; Yu Lu didn't want to show the dew, but he lost a carriage and had to take it out.
Bai Ma saw that Bai Yu brought four short guns, two of which were 20-shot pot-bellied boxes, and two of which were Browning pistols.
The 20-shot potbelly box, also known as the shell gun, was earlier made in Germany and later produced in Chinese arsenals.
The biggest advantage of the 20-ring potbelly box is that it is loaded with more bullets, 20 rounds can be loaded at a time, and it can be fired in a single click or in a row; the weakness is that the gun body is bulky, and there is no certain force, and the shooting skills are not high, and the hit rate is not high.
The Browning pistol is lighter and has a higher shooting accuracy than the pot-bellied box, but it can be loaded up to 13 rounds at a time, which is a weakness.
Bai Ma took the four pistols in his hand and looked at them, then beckoned to Bai Jie and Ashley for the two of them to come over.
Bai Jie and Ashley came to Bai Ma's side, and Bai Ma said solemnly: "The situation is not optimistic, Bai and the second brother are going to chase Yi Fusang, these two Browning pistols Miss Bai and Miss Ashley take them and protect themselves!"
Bai Ma said that he was about to show Bai Jie and Ashley how to use it.
Ashley picked up a handful of Browning in her hand and turned around and said, "Big Brother Bai looks down on Ashley? Ashley will use Browning a long time ago, I don't need you to teach it, I will teach Sister White to use it!"
When Bai Ma saw Ashley say this, he laughed and said, "This is better, we have another female bodyguard!"
Saying this, he called Luo He to him and handed him the big knife: "Brother Luo take this big knife to prevent accidents, if Bai and the second brother can't come back, I hope that Brother Luo will send Bai Xiaomei and Miss Ashley to Baoding!"
Luo He took the big knife and bowed to the white horse and said, "Brother Bai, don't worry, Luo will definitely act according to his instructions!"
