Chapter 3 Old Photos Reveal the Life Experience, and it is very sad to be lonely after the fire
"Zheng Siliang? Could it be the one who is friends with Sun Zshan? He once launched the Huizhou Uprising, fought for half a month and repeatedly defeated the Qing army, the rebel army grew to more than 20,000 people, and then retreated to Hong Kong due to the exhaustion of ammunition and food. He was a powerful figure in the late Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately he was a short-lived ghost. Then Yifeng turned the second page and wrote: "At two o'clock in the morning on August 27, 1901, I smuggled and fled to the mainland with the help of Brother Sun......" Yifeng was about to look down, when he suddenly heard his grandmother's call, he quickly rolled up the booklet and inserted it on the waistband of his trousers, put the iron box back in its place, and refilled the soil. He said secretly in his heart: "Before this matter is clear, it is better not to talk to anyone, grandpa never mentioned this matter to me before his death, and when he was dying, he gave my father a copy of the "Triad" boxing book, saying that it was handed down by the ancestors, what is the connection between the boxing book and this booklet...... "He straightened his mind and walked towards the middle hall, only to see his grandmother sitting there, holding a small red box in her hand. Yifeng said: "Grandma, what's the matter? Grandma slowly opened the box, took out a jade pendant from it and said, "This is what your grandfather gave me when he married me, and now it doesn't work for me, so you can take it and leave it to my granddaughter-in-law in the future." Yifeng knew that if he didn't accept it, his grandmother would be angry, so he didn't shirk it, took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, this jade is emerald green and translucent, without any flaws, there is a feeling of cold lubrication between fingers, and there is a "Zheng" word engraved on the back of the jade. Yifeng saw this traditional character "Zheng", and suddenly thought: "Could it be that I am the descendant of Zheng Sliang?" So why didn't Grandpa mention it to me? Too many questions filled his head, and a strong curiosity prompted Yifeng to figure out this matter as soon as possible, and he said to his grandmother: "Grandma, if it's okay, I'll go back first, I still have something to do at night." Grandma said, "Okay, put the jade pendant well, I won't give it to you if my legs and feet are inconvenient." ”
Yifeng put the jade pendant into the box, went into the room to find a bag, put the yellow book and the jade pendant in it, and then said goodbye to his grandmother. Yifeng closed the door of the house and left in a hurry. Suddenly, with a squeak, Yifeng's grandmother leaned against the door frame, looking at Yifeng's back gradually moving away, her eyes couldn't stop crying, and suddenly a ...... in a black suit walked past her
Yifeng returned home, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and he didn't have time to drink water, so he sat down at the desk and took out the yellow booklet, and opened it again, "At two o'clock in the morning on August 27, 1901, I smuggled and fled to the mainland with the assistance of Brother Sun, and arrived in Gzhou City safely the next time, and they said to me: "I can only escort you here, the party is out of the party, you have to find a remote and remote place to settle down as soon as possible, we have already helped you find a substitute, we are leaving, and there will be a ...... later."
In N City under the night sky, a young man about 22 years old was lying on the window, holding a cigarette in his mouth, smoking heavily. It took Yifeng six hours to read the yellow booklet, and the result was that if everything said in this booklet was true, then Zheng Siliang was his great-grandfather. Yifeng looked up the information on the Internet in the afternoon: "On August 27, 1901, when Zheng Siliang went to a friend's banquet in Hong Kong, he was poisoned by the medicine of Annihilation, and Sun Zshan was extremely sad when he heard the news. "If the yellow pamphlet was written by Zheng Sliang himself, then the news published on the Internet is fake, Zheng Sliang's death is just a bureau set up by Sun Zshan, the purpose is to find out that the party will be annihilated, and the one who died is just a stand-in, and the real Zheng Sliang gave birth to Yifeng's grandfather in the mainland. Yifeng thinks that the real surname of this yellow booklet is very high, and it can even be confirmed that he is the great-grandson of Zheng Sliang, because although the booklet does not mention the birth of a child, there is a black and white photo in the book, the photo shows a middle-aged man holding a baby, this middle-aged man is extremely similar to his grandfather's facial features, and this middle-aged man is the same person as Zheng Sliang on the Internet, there is no doubt that the baby is Yifeng's grandfather, and there is also the "Triad" boxing book left by his grandfather, According to online information, in 1888 Zheng Siliang was promoted to the head of the "triad". There is also that jade pendant, even Yifeng, a layman, can see that the jade pendant is extraordinary, in that troubled era where there is no food and no clothes, it is not something that ordinary people can wear.
Maybe all this came too suddenly, which made Yifeng feel very uneasy. He didn't care about having dinner, so he dialed his father's phone with his mobile phone: "Hey, Dad, I want to take the train to G City tomorrow to find a job, before I find it, help in your hotel, okay?" "Okay, son, Dad is so busy now, we'll meet tomorrow when you arrive." "Toot ......". Yifeng sighed, he felt that it was more appropriate to tell his father in person about the Zheng family's family history, returned to the bedroom, sorted out the luggage, he hid the yellow booklet alone in the dark layer of the suitcase, and the jade was worn around his neck, and then took a bath, and fell asleep soon after lying on the bed......
Yifeng looked at the scenery outside the car window and thought, "When I see my dad in the afternoon, I'll tell him the ins and outs of the whole thing." He made up his mind, he took a nap in his seat in a daze, dreamed that his parents were covered in blood, and asked him for help, but he couldn't touch his parents with all his strength, and finally his parents turned into a ball of blood in front of him......
A radio broadcast on the train woke him up, he got off the train with his luggage, and got into a taxi at the exit of the station, along the way, he found that G City has developed rapidly in recent years, and the current city scale is only second to the three major cities of Z country, North J City, S Sea City and Shenzhen Z City.
After a while, the taxi sent Yifeng to the Jiahe Hotel, saying that it was a hotel, but it was actually a three-bedroom and two-living room restaurant. Yifeng didn't get out of the car before he smelled a burning pungent smell, disgusting, looked at it, his hotel was on fire, anxiously paid the driver's money, got out of the car, and broke into the hotel, a policeman at the door saw him stop and asked: "Don't you see that this is the scene of the fire?" You can't go in there. Now Yifeng seems to be crazy, what does it matter, he wants to know the life and death of his parents, suddenly a grappling hand clasped the policeman's right wrist, the policeman just wanted to resist, Yifeng kicked the knee socket of the policeman's right leg, and heard a plop, the policeman came to kneel down on one knee, and the surrounding crowd was so happy that he couldn't stand up straight, thinking: "Usually you are arrogant in front of the people, and you are powerful, but today you met a newborn calf, and now you will suffer." ”
The police in the hotel heard that there was a lot of noise outside, and they all came out to see what was going on, only to see a young man in his early twenties, about 172cm tall, slightly dark skin, awl face, high nose bridge, thick lips, brows tightened, tiger eyes turned round, treating them as if they were nothing, and rushing in. Suddenly, I heard a person shouting: "Isn't this the boss's son Yifeng?" Yifeng felt that the voice was very familiar, so he looked for the sound to see, the person who shouted was his father's friend Director Huang who met in G City, and the hotel opened by his father was within the jurisdiction of Director Huang, and he had also gone to his house with his father to pay New Year's greetings, Director Huang walked closer and stroked Yifeng's back, and said comfortingly: "Child, after a preliminary investigation by the police, it was determined that the cause of the fire was caused by an aging line, which led to a short circuit, and the time was about two o'clock in the morning, and we received a report from a beggar on the side of the road at three o'clock in the morning, when the fire brigade arrived, When the fire is extinguished, your parents have already burned to death, so by the way, come with us to identify the corpse later. Hearing this, it was like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, and Yifeng's head was blank. Suddenly, he trembled and sifted like chaff, and fell to his knees and wept bitterly. At this moment, Yifeng's mobile phone rang, and after he took the mobile phone out of his pocket with trembling hands, he finally moved it to his ear and said intermittently: "Hey...... Where to look...... Bit? I heard the voice of a middle-aged man coming from the microphone: "Hey, is it Zheng Yifeng?" Why is your parents' phone call unanswered, we are the personnel of the township police station in Zhengjia Village, your grandmother slipped and fell while fetching water at home yesterday afternoon, and unfortunately fell into the well and died, please come and recognize the body as soon as possible, hey? Hear please answer, hey ......"
Yesterday I had lunch with my grandmother, and I could still hear my father's kind voice on the microphone at night, but today I was separated from them by yin and yang, and I could never see each other again.
After a long time, Yifeng eased up a little, and said secretly: "This is by no means a coincidence, could it be related to the Zheng family's family background?" He slowly stood up and said to Director Huang: "Please take me to identify the corpse, after dealing with the matter here, I will rush to other places to identify the corpse." When Director Huang heard him say this, he thought that he was overly sad, which led to a mental breakdown and confusion. took Yifeng to the police car, and along the way, Director Huang also told Yifeng about other aspects of the fire: "The door is locked from the inside, there is no trace of being pried open, the window has been sealed with transparent glue for many years, and it has not been opened, so no one has ever entered, according to the police's preliminary determination that Yifeng's parents smelled smoke when they were asleep, choked and fainted, and then burned alive by the fire." ”
When Yifeng came to the morgue and saw the two corpses lying on the bed covered with white cloth, the tears in his eyes had already fallen to the ground like pearl threads. He trembled and walked to the corpse on the bed on his right, put his left hand on the wrist of his right hand, and touched the corpse's hand into the bed with his right hand. This ring was a wedding ring given to his mother by his father, and his mother carried it on her hand all the time. Yifeng put his mother's hand back in its place. Walking to the bed on the left, his hands trembling like those of a Parkinson's patient, and uncovering a small part of the white cloth covering his head, he no longer saw his father's familiar face, but a ball of black charcoal that had been burned. He didn't dare to look any further, so he threw himself on the corpse and cried......
