"Second master, aren't you going out today?" Zhang Rongfeng, who was lying in the hole of the gate with a cigarette in his mouth, shouted into the courtyard and said.

"Besides, I don't like to move!" A man's voice came from the courtyard.

This person is Yao Jian's father.

This person also has a name that has long been a household name - Second Master!

This person is none other than Lao Xie who returned to China and saved Haoran's second master halfway up the mountain!

Haoran curled up in the sack, and the moment the mouth of the sack was opened, when the four eyes met, Haoran was stunned, this person called the second master, isn't it Uncle Yao?

"Uncle Yao, is that you?" Haoran rubbed his eyes, blinked his eyes a few times, and looked at the second master without turning his eyes and asked.

Lao Yao looked at Haoran in surprise for a long time, and suddenly turned his face and said to a few people around him: "Where did you get this wild boy?" Are you trying to stab Lou Zi? Or are you impatient? ”

"Second master, this, this ......"

"What this, this! The wood is already in the boat, don't talk nonsense, let's take it back first! Before the man could finish speaking, Lao Yao interrupted him and said.

Haoran was stupid at the time, isn't this clearly Uncle Yao? This face is so familiar to him, he will never admit it! How could he deny me? Oh, isn't it that I've been away from home for many years, and the changes are relatively big, and he can't recognize himself anymore? Isn't that right? From the look in his eyes just now, I could clearly see that he had recognized me, why did he change his face again in the blink of an eye?

"Uncle Yao, it's me, Uncle Yao, I'm Haoran! Don't you recognize me? Haoran shouted loudly! But to no avail, under the order of the second master, I saw a few people quickly re-tie the mouth of the sack, and a strong man carried the sack and left!

"Second master." When the strong man carried the sack away, a person standing beside the second master looked at Lao Yao with questioning eyes and asked, "What do you mean?" Did we tie up the wrong person? ”

"No, he is the person I am looking for, he is Xie Wanshan's only son, Xie Haoran!" Lao Yao asked.

"This kid is a thief, he looks dirty like a farmer, I took a look at this guy's fine skin and tender meat, the tomatoes in the greenhouse and the eggplant in the field, and we are also blinded by our dealer! I can't help but say that I'm tied up! The man said.

"Thanks to you, thank you! Otherwise, this guy might end up in some fate! Lao Yao said: "His father is Xie Wanshan, who was criticized to death a few days ago!" I was there for him before he died, and he told us to do everything possible to find him, to keep him away from home, to keep him from coming back; Let's find him most likely in the place where he used to be frequented by the horse team, and sure enough, he found it here! ”

After Lao Xie swallowed his breath, the old secretary said to Lao Yao: "Lao Yao, Wan Shan is right, this matter must be done by you, can your former brothers still be contacted?" ”

"No problem, I'll do it!" Lao Yao undertook the task of finding Xie Wanshan's son Xie Haoran.

So what does Lao Yao do? On the surface, Lao Yao used to do the work of Xiangma, but in fact, it is still different from Xiangma in essence, and we will explain Lao Yao in detail in the next chapters!

Lao Yao and their men have been disbanded for many years, and their main and only contact method is whistle! Their whistles are ever-changing, each one represents a different meaning, and only their insiders can understand and use this unique way of linguistic, and outsiders can never understand!

Their organization has no hills, they usually do their own things at home, once the whistle blows is the order to assemble, they have a set of strict organizational discipline, their whereabouts are secretive, there are many legends about them, but people who know what they are doing are almost rare!

After Lao Yao's whistle, a group of people gathered in a small effort, and Lao Yao said to everyone: "Guys, gather everyone together today and want everyone to do a favor." Xie Wanshan, maybe some people know, right? He's helped us a lot in the past, and today he's in trouble, and we're going to help him! His son is expected to return, so we searched for him in the place where the horse team used to hang out in the past. It's been so many years, I guess I don't even know each other anymore. Brother Wan Shan's family environment and his expectations for the next generation, I guess he should be a well-mannered scholar, everyone should pay more attention to these roads, and if you find such a person, don't care about it first, tie me up first, do you have anything to say? "Approximate age?" That's when someone asked.

"About twenty." Lao Yao said.

"Okay, don't worry, second master, it's on our brothers! It's been a long time since I've been working, and it's been itchy for a long time! The guys said.

Unexpectedly, they lurked in this area for several days, and they really found it!

Lao Yao said: "Let's do this, don't tell him the truth first, stay alive!" Lao Xie is gone, his son can't have any more mistakes, I'll rush back to the old secretary to discuss this matter now! Besides, don't tell him who I really am! ”

"Don't worry, second master!" The man said.

"What do you say? Did you really find it? His son Xie Haoran? Are you sure it's him? After listening to Lao Yao's narration, Secretary Zhang's eyes widened and said! Lao Xie's words really worked, his son really rushed back, and Lao Yao and they really found it, which made the old secretary excited!

"I can see it clearly, even if I have been gone since I was a child, I haven't seen him for so many years, but the face with Lao Xie's blood can't change! I recognized him at a glance! Lao Yao said.

"Did you ask him? Where has he been all these years? Be sure to ask about this! Old Secretary Zhang hurriedly walked back and forth and said: "You said that this old Xie is also right, and he refuses to reveal the slightest news about his son when he is out of breath, can we still harm him?" Well? Tell me? They want us to help, and they hide it, which is too stingy for family affection, right? Why is he like this? I can't say this? ”

"I haven't had time to ask where he has been in the past few years, but I confirmed that it was him, and I hurried back to discuss countermeasures with you! Let's talk about this matter in front of the eyes first, everyone is back, eighty percent of him still doesn't know about Lao Xie, let's think about it first! Lao Yao said.

"Now that it's such a mess, can he come back? Yes? Lao Tzu is gone, can the ghost cub of capitalism feel better? Yes? Isn't this coming back to die? Yes? After the old secretary finished speaking, he began to circle again!

"What then?" Lao Yao also became anxious when he heard this!

"Lao Xie not only treated us well before his death, but also treated the people badly, we can't live anymore under Lao Xie under Jiuquan, we must keep this root!" The old secretary stopped and said, "What should I do, that is, what should I do?" When is this fucking bullshit sport going to be a head? "The old secretary thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with it!

"Or let him stay with us for a few days until the wind calms down." Lao Yao said.

"Calm? Look at those rabbit cubs who are menacing all day long, holding Chairman Mao's quotations and shouting all day long, can they be calm? Yes? I tried everything but failed to save Lao Xie, his precious son, came back coldly, and after so many years of unclearness, the Red Guards still didn't toss him to the bottom? Yes? How many days, how many days? Can you hide for a while? Yes? "The old secretary has started to go around in circles again!

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what are you going to do!" Lao Yao said eagerly: "Let's get involved in this matter, we can't just ignore it, right?" You are the secretary, if you don't help him, who can help him? ”

"You must take care of it, Lao Xie's last wish before his death has also been agreed, and this matter is also in front of our eyes, do you say that you can slap your own face? ! Yes? If you don't do this, you go back and try him first, let's try him to protect him, those rabbit cubs are trying him for a terrible thing! First, ask him about the ins and outs of these years. Second, don't tell him about his father yet. Third, tell those people that they are tight-mouthed, and no one is allowed to reveal the slightest rumor about him! The old secretary said.

"Yes, okay, that's it! Then let's figure it out little by little! Lao Yao said.

"Hurry up, the burning of the eyebrows!" The old secretary said with his hand reading on the ground!

"Tell me, tell me where you've been all these years?" Lao Yao asked Haoran.

"On the way back, I was told not to reveal your identity to strangers, or you will die!" Haoran said: "Let me ask you, are you Uncle Yao?" ”

"Now I'm asking you, not you!" Lao Yao said with a serious face.

"I have traveled thousands of miles back to the embrace of the motherland, back to my hometown, and along the way, all I saw were cold and hateful faces! I have gone through a lot of hardships and finally returned to my hometown, you are the first relative I have ever met, but why are you so indifferent? You are obviously Uncle Yao, why don't you want to admit it? What's wrong with all of you? What is going on in this land where I was born and raised, and what will make you all like this? Haoran said with a serious face.

Lao Yao was touched by Haoran's words! Yes, what he saw and heard along the way, perceiving his eagerness to find his relatives, thinking about how he had come over in the past few years, a different kind of love and pity suddenly appeared in his heart!

"Well, kid, I'm Uncle Yao!" Lao Yao said.

"Uncle Yao!" Haoran couldn't restrain his emotions anymore, he stepped forward to hug Lao Yao, and cried bitterly!

"Okay child, you're home, you don't have to be afraid of anything when you see Uncle Yao, as long as Uncle Yao is here, no one will dare to do anything to you!" Lao Yao said.

"Where's my father? How is he? Haoran asked.

What are you afraid of, but this is another question that cannot be avoided! But when he came, the old secretary had already lived in a thousand places, and Lao Xie's departure was not something to tell him for the time being, and if the anxious child knew the news, no one would be able to pull him! "Your dad is fine, don't worry! He asked me to pick you up, but you can't go home yet! Lao Yao can only lie and conceal the truth, which is very necessary for a person who is in an urgent mood when the cannon is fired.

"Why?" Haoran asked.

"You've heard about it along the way, and you've learned a lot, and now it's like this all over the country, and it's not even at home, your father said that you should stay outside for a few days now, and then take you home when it's time." Lao Yao said: "Let's talk about you first, what have you been doing all these years?" ”

"Didn't my dad tell you?" Haoran looked at Lao Yao suspiciously.

At this time, Haoran had already guessed a little bit of his father's situation from Lao Yao's words, and at the same time, he could also perceive the world in his hometown, which was no different from the places he passed!

"Your father has always been cautious, but now is an extraordinary time, and he can't reveal any of your whereabouts, lest others leak any of your news! In order to protect you and make you go home safely to see your father as soon as possible, we must understand your situation, only in this way can we come up with a proper way for you to go to see your father, you must find out this fact! Lao Yao said.

"Okay, I can't trust others, but I can trust Uncle Yao!" Then Haoran talked in detail about how his father asked him to study abroad, and under what circumstances he came back!

But before Haoran finished speaking, Lao Yao's face had already turned sallow!
