Meng Haichang saw that his more than one company of troops was instantly suppressed by artillery fire, and the casualties were already more than half, and then the PLA quickly outflanked and broke through from the flank, and a blocking battle turned into a clearing by the other side.

Meng Haichang couldn't care about anything else at this time, he had to escape and live, and he didn't want to be charged with being captured.

As a military commander agent, Meng Haichang's ability to conceal the battlefield saved his life, and he took advantage of the terrain and sunlight, and made full use of the growth characteristics of grass and trees, so he set up an ambush in a grass depression on the mountainside west of Heji Village in a short time. The People's Liberation Army searched the surroundings for a day and a night, and sometimes at night they could hear clear footsteps and voices around them, but they were lucky not to be found from beginning to end.

Meng Haichang had an extra day and a night, and finally saw that there was no sound around him, so he slowly moved from the hidden place, he didn't dare to come out at once, because he knew that at this time, getting up was equivalent to sending him to death. -- Because of the day and night of lurking, I have numbed my limbs, and if I suddenly come out, I will definitely not be able to stand it, and this military uniform on my body can just expose myself, and I will not be able to move when the time comes.

So, Meng Haichang slowly squirmed in the grass, moving his legs, his blood circulation gradually became smooth, and the numbness of his legs gradually disappeared, so he got up and ran towards the jungle to the west.

Qin Xiao already knew the general situation at this time, so he asked:

"After that, you ran into the hinterland of Taihang Mountain, but you ran into a deserter like you, Xie Yunhai, right?"

Juehui Master Meng Haichang nodded and said: "Yes, it's just that I don't know his name is Meng Haichang, I almost killed him when we first met, I asked him why he ran, but he said, the battle was lost, do you want to die?" I asked him if he was a skilled subordinate. He told me the number of his troops, and when I saw that it wasn't from our battalion, I didn't want to kill him anymore, after all, he had no choice but to flee for his life. ”

Qin Xiao saw that Master Juehui had calmed down. So he said: "The master is worthy of being a high-ranking monk, and these past events are still as calm as ever!" ”

Jue Hui smiled: "Where, there are some things, I think about it too many times, and I feel that it is just very commonplace." Besides, I'm an outsider now, and I don't care about these mundane things anymore. ”

Xiao Man said: "Don't you want to meet the veteran who has been with you for many years in the mountains and forests?" We met him when we were in Rousey. ”

Meng Haichang said: "What you see, what if you don't see it, it's all a passing cloud, it's not enough to say, if he comes here, I will treat him as an old friend like the two." ”

Qin Xiao hurriedly asked, "Can the master tell me about the future situation?" ”

Master Juehui replied, "As for these, I would like to hear what you have seen and heard. If you don't know something, the old man will just correct you. ”

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, the master will use the tea first, and I'll tell you about it." ”

Qin Xiao sat upright for a while, to be honest, he was not a person who could sit still, if he hadn't had something to think about while playing chess, or if he wanted to find Juehui to help, he wouldn't have sat here and listened to him for two hours, Qin Xiao stretched his waist. Said:

"Master, oh no, it should be Meng Haichang at the beginning, he went to the mountains and forests. met a Xie Yunhai who had fought with him, but he didn't know each other, to be exact, they didn't know each other at this moment, they just made a living together in the mountains and forests. But neither side knows anything about the other, but that doesn't matter. It's just to survive together as a companion, and it's better than nothing. ”

Master Juehui nodded in agreement. Qin Xiao continued: "But the days are not peaceful, in fact, this Xie Yunhai has been injured, although the wound is shallow, it was only scratched by a piece of shrapnel, but the wound is suppurated, so you used the Seven Spirit Flower Scatter you carried with you to heal his injury." ”

Master Juehui nodded again, but this time it was by a lot of margin, because he also found a piece of evidence why Qin Xiao judged that he was Meng Haichang.

Qin Xiao then talked eloquently: "The good times don't last long, in fact, they can't be said to be good times, because no one in the deep mountains will think that this kind of day is good, but for people who have been isolated from the world for a long time, once they get used to this closed life, they are afraid of meeting the living." ”

At this time, Master Juehui couldn't help but interrupt Qin Xiao and said: "Qin Xiao Xiaoyou, your words really make me admire, I didn't expect you to be able to see the mentality of the two of us at that time from a simple and basically story, with all due respect, I may not be able to do it now, I really can't help but admire this." ”

When Su Xiaoman heard this, he couldn't help but look at Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao saw Su Xiaoman shaking his head, he was also a little proud, and he deliberately drooped his eyelids and looked at Su Xiaoman with disdain, and then Su Xiaoman pouted when he saw this, and the whole process also passed in an instant, and Master Juehui naturally didn't see it when he saw it. Qin Xiao continued:

"After the master's award, this pair of comrades-in-arms who were companions in the mountains lived a peaceful life like this, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, although they retreated to Taiwan, the chairman of the committee still did not give up, and sent many spies to lurk in the mainland in advance, and the measures of the new Chinese government are also very direct, that is, to investigate, including the deep mountains and old forests, which makes many spies have nowhere to hide. The two of you were also forced to separate because of this sudden mountain patrol at that time, Xie Yunhai ran deeper into the mountains, and you were driven to the remnants of the Taihang Mountains. Xie Yunhai was discovered by me later, needless to say, but Master Juehui, who was Meng Haichang at that time, unknowingly broke into Wutai County, which is the hometown of your old governor at that time, Yan Xishan. But you didn't dare to go back to Xie Yunhai, for fear of being arrested, but you didn't dare to want to get along with the world anymore, so the best choice in front of you was to become a monk. ”

Master Juehui replied, "Yes, that's what I thought. ”

Qin Xiao asked Master Juehui: "Master, I also have a question, you said, what I don't understand can be corrected by you, that is, you didn't feel that the current situation was hopeless, if so, when exactly." ”

Master Juehui said: "At this time, otherwise I would not have become a monk." ”

Qin Xiao nodded, he also affirmed his judgment, and continued: "That is at this time, when you become a monk. I began to feel that holding the secret recipe was always a difficult knot to solve, so I decided to return it to the Qin family, but I was in Luxi Wutai Mountain. If you don't have the ability to go to Ludong to be precise, you don't have a good political environment, so you study the Dharma and our secret recipes on weekdays, and you also use this to help the people around you. It can be said that the merit is immeasurable, but he did not betray the Qin family to reveal the secret recipe to anyone. ”

Qin Xiao sat down again and continued: "Finally, you have the opportunity, at that time, the political imprisonment of the whole of China has been lifted, so you went down the mountain to leave Wutai and came to Ludong, but you didn't dare to face the Qin family, of course, and Qiu Hengshui, so you still chose another way, which is to quietly write the information of the secret recipe into a letter." Put it back in the Qiu family's secret cave. ”

Master Juehui couldn't help but wonder a little and said, "How do you know that I didn't put the letter back in the cave early?" Can you tell the year of this paper? ”

Hearing this, Qin Xiao smiled and said: "The master really exalted me, and I am not a master of framing, how can I know the year of the paper, because I know from the family tree that my father once followed my maternal great-grandfather, that is, your father-in-law, Qiu Hengshui, into the secret cave, but it was a period of ten years of turmoil. Because my grandfather came back from his husband in the Yellow River, his feet ulcerated, and he was almost disabled, and finally used the medicinal herbs stored in the cave to make the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter. Only then did he cure the disease of his feet. If you had brought the letter with me at that time, I probably wouldn't have asked you here now. So I judge that you are the letter that came to put after ****. ”

Master Juehui suddenly realized and said, "Xiaoyou, I'm very interested, you continue. ”

Qin Xiao continued: "But I still know. You've been away from Wutai for a few years, but I really don't know why. ”

At this time, as soon as Qin Xiao's words came out, Master Juehui's face changed greatly, and even Su Xiaoman felt incredible, because she had seen Qin Xiao's family tree and knew what happened to Qin Xiao, but she would not have speculated that Master Juehui had left Wutai Mountain to commemorate this specific plot anyway! At this time, even Master Juehui was sitting on his knees, and said in a trembling voice:

"How do you know?"

Su Xiaoman also asked casually: "Yes, Qin Xiao, how do you know?" ”

Seeing that the two of them were so surprised, Qin Xiao was also taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Is this very strange? It's very simple, I know my grandfather's personality very well, my aunt Qin Ping was able to go to college in Luxi, and finally settle down there, it is absolutely not in line with my grandfather's wishes, my grandfather will not allow his daughter to marry someone else, at least he will not agree happily. But this happened like this, I experienced it at the time, and I still made a sedan chair boy for my aunt. There is only one reason why my grandfather did this, and that is that he knew the whereabouts of the secret recipe, in other words, he went to the secret cave in his old age and saw the letter, but he did not find Meng Haichang, who is now Master Juehui, so he put the letter back in the secret cave. But at the beginning, he asked his daughter, that is, my aunt Qin Ping, to inquire there! ”

Master Juehui said, "Didn't your aunt tell you this? ”

Qin Xiao immediately said: "Here's the reason!" Why didn't she tell my grandfather what she told her back then, I thought about it and finally understood that my grandfather finally felt that Master Juehui might have passed away, or believed that you were a trustworthy person, and you would definitely bring the secret recipe to the grave and not let anyone know, so I didn't pursue it anymore. Besides, my grandfather Qin Yuhan was resolutely opposed to enmity with the Zhang family in his later years, and his personality was much calmer, and the same is true for you to take away the secret recipe, let him go. In order to prevent me from disturbing me about this matter, he didn't tell me, and let my aunt Qin Ping not need to mention it, just tell me what I want to know. Besides, why did my grandfather tell me to go to my aunt instead of my uncle Qin Yong when he was dying, isn't it more reasonable to find the male of the Qin family? Because my uncle also knew the whole thing about my parents, and since he didn't, he still thought it was more accurate for my aunt to understand what my grandfather meant. ”

Su Xiaoman and Master Juehui nodded almost at the same time and said, "I see! ”

Qin Xiao also suddenly had a flash of inspiration, hurriedly slapped his forehead with his hand, and said, "I know, I know why the master left Wutai Mountain!" ”

Master Juehui was even more surprised and delighted, because today he felt that Qin Xiao had brought him too many surprises, and he hadn't chatted so much for a long time, so he didn't say anything, but said, "You say, why did I leave!" ”

Qin Xiao said: "Xie Yunhai! Xie Yunhai! Master, you're going to find Xie Yunhai! ”

Master Juehui laughed and said, "Yes, but you have to tell me why, you can't guess!" ”

Qin Xiao saw that Master Juehui was so childlike, and he had no shelter, and he also knelt half-off, pointing at Master Juehui and saying:

"Master, you really don't know, I almost didn't notice, after Xie Yunhai was rescued by me, he cooked with me for a while, he once said in an unintentional sentence, he noticed that you had gone to the place where you lived before to look for him, but he didn't go back to the place where you lived together for safety, and when I found out later, you never appeared again, so I suddenly remembered that you went to find him!"

Master Juehui was also relieved to see that Qin Xiao had given the perfect answer, as if this sentence could only be considered perfect if Qin Xiao could say it, so he smiled and said, "That's right, I was going to look for him at that time!" In fact, I thought at the time that it had been a long time since I sent the letter to the Qiu family's secret cave, but no one from your Qin family came to me, I was very surprised, and I thought that it was estimated that the Qin family had never been to the secret cave again, and opened the place where the letters were hidden, so I felt that it was no longer interesting to stay in the temple, so I proposed to the temple that I was willing to wander away from the Quartet and become an ascetic. The first stop was to go to find Xie Yunhai, but I didn't find it, but I practiced medicine everywhere, which also provided a lot of clues for you to find my news later. ”

Qin Xiao replied, "That's right. ”

Master Juehui continued: "Actually, I also returned to Ludong, and I wanted to give you the book in person, but at that time, I didn't care about it at all, thinking to myself, you Qin family know the entire content of the whole book, and it is the same whether you give it or not, so you didn't show up to be ugly. I also went to the house to take a look at Xiao'er, he is a good person, and he has a job, so I am relieved to go. (To be continued.) )
