Chapter 9 Lao Xie

As the first of the three Hutongs, Lao Xie's real name is Xie Haoran. In fact, he is not old, he is in his thirties, his body is tough and thick, and his body reveals a vigorous momentum! The reason why he is called Lao Xie is not the old Xie when the old secretary and Lao Yao called Xie Wanshan, but a kind of nostalgia and remembrance of Lao Xie and Xie Wanshan who left unjustly during the Cultural Revolution! (There is another reason for this, which we will mention in later chapters, that this is a burden that cannot be opened yet)

The old father, Xie Wanshan, was a businessman and a hereditary businessman. A lifetime of low-key and not low nostalgia, but where the year is not good, whoever is in trouble, will reach out to help, deeply loved and admired by Sanli Wuxiang! Just because of a catastrophe, the old man's life should not have ended, and at that moment, he closed his eyes helplessly! Every time the world mentions this person, they can't help but sigh a few words, and the words reveal that the bad luck of his life is not good, and he deeply regrets it!

On the occasion of Lao Xie's death, the old secretary, Lao Yao, and Qiao'er Niang's father-in-law Da Zhuang's father were all present, and all three of them asked Lao Xie if he had any final instructions, and they would definitely help him do it!

"The most reassuring thing about me now is my son, these days, my eyes are always jumping, I'm afraid he is coming back! I don't have anything to be nostalgic for this old bone, and the only thing I can't worry about is him! If you are willing to help me, please don't let him come back, let him go farther, the farther the better, and never come back! If you can do it, it can be regarded as the only bit of yin virtue that I have accumulated in my life! Lao Xie said.

At this time, the old secretary remembered that Lao Xie still had a son, but he had not seen his son's whereabouts since he was a child, and they had also asked Lao Xie, Lao Xie always just avoided answering his words, and never wanted to reveal the slightest news about his son!

"Can you tell me where your son has been all these years? How can we find him? Lao Xie's request suddenly made everyone present worry about his son's safety!

Lao Xie's words just now made them have a lot of doubts about his son's disappearance over the years, and in order to ensure his son's safety, the old secretary must ask them about the ins and outs of his son.

"Don't ask again, blame me for this, I shouldn't have let him out! In short, you have to do everything possible to prevent him from coming back, tell him, I have never had this son, and he has never had my father, don't let him come back to recognize his relatives, otherwise, he will die worse than me! Lao Xie burst into tears as he spoke!

"Where are we going to find him? How can I find him? The old secretary hurriedly asked, he could see that Lao Xie was now saying one less sentence, he couldn't delay the time to ask those useless questions, there was nothing more important than his son's hiding place!

"The route we used to take in the horse team is the most likely place for him to appear, you hurry up and send someone to look for him along the way, maybe he is rushing back, you must stop him, don't let people recognize him!" Lao Xie glanced at Lao Yao, suddenly grabbed his hand and said eagerly: "Lao Yao, you are doing this, you should bother more!" ”

Lao Xie's voice became smaller and smaller, his breathing became weaker and weaker, and he ran out of breath after a little effort!

No one remembers when his son disappeared, and when people began to pay attention to this matter, when asked about it, Lao Xie always shook his head and did not answer! Even if he is the closest person, he has a way to deal with it: Hey, let him go!

Lao Xie's only son is called Xie Haoran, who is smart and studious, and is a good material for reading. As the child grows up year by year, his desire for knowledge becomes stronger and stronger. At that time, the country was in a state of ruin, the level of education was very low, and the constant movement could not meet the children's learning needs at all. Their caravans often traveled back and forth from various places, although the business environment at that time was getting worse than before, but the caravans coming and going at home and abroad were still able to transmit overseas information, forcing Lao Xie to make a bold decision: send his son to study abroad! Even though it was a big risk at the time, he did it!

After sending his son away, his caravan was disbanded, and the trade could no longer be done, and living in seclusion was his only choice!

Time flies, and the son of Lao Xie at that time, Haoran, was still studying in Germany far away, and he didn't know what was happening at home! Perhaps it was the result of psychological induction, he always felt uneasy in his heart in those days, and an ominous feeling tormented him all the time, forcing him to make up his mind to return to China to find out what was going on in his hometown!

"WarumhabensiesichzudieserEntscheidungaufgeschwungen?" asked the mentor respectfully.

"Wiescnadedasssieihresieihreschulau###ildungnochnihtbeendethaben (But you didn't finish your studies, isn't it a pity)?" The mentor looked at Haoran kindly and regretfully and said, "It is said that your motherland is not at peace, even if you go back, you have nothing to do, do you have something unspeakable?" ”

"EslutetdassihrVaterlandnochnichtinordnungistAunhWennsiezurckgingenesWirdihnenniemalsgelingenH###ensieetwaspeinlicheszuerwhnen是的, there is always a voice in my heart calling me, calling me to go back as soon as possible, this is a decision that has to be made!" Haoran said.

“NagutlchrespektieieihreWahl! (Oh well, I respect your choice)! The tutor shook his head and said helplessly.

Haoran left the country he called his second hometown in a sound of "take care all the way", and when a whistle sounded, he looked back at this country that was once "stabbed in the back", and he couldn't hold back the tears that flowed down!

A child who grew up on horseback, often shuttled across the Silk Road, and when the road was not in its glory, the shrewd father made a bold decision!

"Haoran, let's go, go far, without my call, never come back!" His father named him Haoran, the word Shili

His father told him that starting from here, follow the horse team, all the way along the way Xi'an - Lanzhou - Dunhuang - Turpan - Urumqi to Kashgar, if you meet someone who asks for directions, face each other with a banner, and someone will help you!

He still remembers the last words he said when he arrived on the border of the motherland, knelt down and looked at this land: I will definitely come back!

And now he is really coming back, he stands on the huge ferry, looking up at the white stork flying in the sky, (Germany's national bird) with the same mood, bows deeply to the cornflower (Germany's national flower) at his feet, and silently says in his heart: Farewell, TneFederalofDeutschland! (Federal Republic of Germany)

Passing through Lithuania - Latvia - Moscow, staying in Samara post station for a few days, the previous horse team has long been gone, and then introduced by an elder, got acquainted with a descendant of an ancestor, temporarily formed a horse team, on this way, everywhere must have an official visa, sign when meeting officials, meet bandits have a horse team, go straight to Weihai from Samara, and then pass through Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan from Weihai, and finally finally experienced 9981 difficulties, and came to Kashgar after a long absence of several years!

He stood where he was again, knelt down and kissed the land that gave birth to him and raised him, and shouted to the sky: I'm back!

This voice has spread throughout the land of 9.6 million!

The difficulty of the road back to China makes this wanderer unforgettable! But what he never expected was that the way home was more difficult than the journey home!

Along the way, on this barren land, he saw people in green uniforms everywhere, eye-catching big-character posters could be seen everywhere, people chanting slogans, running around with high emotions, he didn't know what was going on here, but he vaguely felt a chill hit his heart in an instant!

He no longer dared to wear a suit and leather shoes, and when he arrived in Gansu, he was pressed to his home by an old man, and he took an educational lesson with him that he had never heard before!

He burned all his clothes and put on the clothes specially prepared for him by his old Muslim friend, remembering in his heart: when he sees someone in a green uniform, he hides and asks for directions to find the elderly!

So, Haoran was nervous, with full of affection for his father, all the way forward, and embarked on the way home!

The closer he got to the mainland, the heavier the depressed mood became, so much so that he didn't dare to walk on the street, and he was always moving forward in panic! He wondered, is the same situation in my hometown? How is my father?

He received information from his old friend Muslims that bullfighting ghosts and snakes were criticized everywhere, and merchants were among them, lest they would be more auspicious; And you are a wanderer who has returned from overseas, you must not reveal your identity, you can't afford to be accused of treason against the enemy! Such a thousand instructions!

His uneasy heart became more and more worried, and his father was always in his heart, and he made up his mind to rush back as soon as possible!

It's getting closer and closer to his hometown, and the interrogation along the way is enough for him to be frightened step by step, and his heart is like an arrow, even if he crawls, I have to rush back!

Just as he was passing through a barren mountainous area, a group of people suddenly came down from the mountain, and without saying anything, these people quickly tied him up and gagged him, and without saying a word, they put him in a sack!

Haoran was immediately stunned, and the first thought that flashed in his mind at that time was whether he had met a bandit? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and once fainted, this was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a thing!

He didn't know how long it was, but he felt weak in his limbs, dizzy in his head, and couldn't move, and then he remembered that he was in a sack!

At this time, he heard a person call the second master and said, "Second master, do you think it's this person?" ”

"Open it and look at the people!" The second master said.

When a few people opened the sack quickly, when Haoran looked at the so-called second master, neither of them was surprised!
