After school at noon on January 17, 1970, I ran home from Daling Primary School alone.

Because, seeing the tragic situation of the Tao family being arrested and taken away, I was overwhelmed with grief!

I don't know how long I cried under the covers!

Suddenly, I thought about what Yanfang would put in my pocket when she left!

So, I got up and wiped away my tears!

I pulled those things out of my pocket!

I turned on the lights and looked at the bright light to see what Yanfang had given me.

I looked closely at the things Yanfang gave me, and it turned out that they were a walnut and a note!

The note read: Keep the walnuts! Someone came to pick it up!

I shake the walnut and it looks like there's a little thing moving inside!

So, I took a closer look at the walnuts under the lights!

I found out that the walnuts were paste-glued!

I immediately realized that there must be a secret hidden in this walnut!

Driven by intense curiosity, I must unravel this secret!

I know this is a common method used by agents to bond small objects!

So, I poured a cup of hot water, put a plastic strainer in the mouth of the cup, and put the walnuts on the strainer to let the water vapor smoke it!

Soon the walnut was smoked open, and I saw that there was a developed microfilm in the walnut!

The film was so small that I couldn't see it clearly under the light.

So, I put the film back in the walnuts.

I took my private camera and burned the note that Yanfang gave me!

I took the walnuts to the darkroom of the photo studio, ready to post a set of microfilm photos to see what was inside?!

When they arrived at the photo studio, Xiaoda and Sister Caiyan were eating inside.

I asked Xiaoda to watch the door of the darkroom and don't let people in!

After I entered the darkroom, I put on my gloves and zoomed in on the camera to see the walnut film, and I was stunned by the content!

It reads: a codebook for the station, as well as a list and contact address!

At the time, I immediately realized that this was something used by an agent organization!

These things may have something to do with the Tao family being taken away!

This realization makes me feel creepy!

However, I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I immediately posted a set of photos and remade them with my personal camera.

I used a single film to remake the entire microfilm.

Then, the remade film is developed out.

After I compared the contents of the two films and there was no discrepancy, I destroyed the set of photos!

I used small tweezers to roll the original microfilm as it was, and cleaned up the old paste marks on the walnuts, re-coated the paste on the seams of the walnuts, and put the rolled microfilm back into it to reglue the walnuts!

After I hid the remake film and walnuts on my body, I came out of the darkroom.

Xiao Da has been guarding the basement entrance.

Xiaoda said: "Ah Cai! You okay! How did you stay in there for so long? ”

I said, "It's okay! I'd like to develop some photos of Yanfang taking a picture with us! However, those negatives were spent! I am hungry! Give me a hot meal! ”

After lunch at the store, I went home.

When I got home, I put the walnuts and remade film in a small tin box, wrapped it in plastic sheeting, and hid it in the brick crack under the manger in the stable.

I was in the bedroom, and after putting the camera away, I lay on the bed and thought, who is Mr. Tao's family? Are they really members of a secret service organization?!

According to my common sense, they are supposed to be secret service officers!

Moreover, they are not in the same league as mainland agents! Otherwise, they won't be taken away!

But, from personal feelings, I have to keep this secret for them, they are my relatives, they are kind to me, I can't hurt them!

Plus, if they're agents, they definitely have their own strong network of personnel!

If, because of me, they are hurt, their people will certainly not let me and my family go!

Because, I also have hatred! I know the power of hatred!

In addition, at the moment, our family is in a situation, if I hand over this secret to the mainland agents, they may think that I am in league with the Tao family! In this way, our family will be implicated endlessly!

......

In the evening, my mother came home late, and when she came home, she immediately talked to me alone.

The mother said, "Alas! The matter of Mr. Tao's family came too suddenly! I heard that you were beaten by the investigators today? ”

I said, "Yes! I'm confused! Why did they arrest Mr. Tao's family? ”

The mother said, "Alas! In the afternoon, I read the briefing in the unit and found out! During the summer vacation last year, when Mr. Tao's family was on vacation in the provincial capital, they went to places they shouldn't go to and met people they shouldn't see! These places are where foreign agents often operate! And these people are all against the mainland! Do you understand? ”

I said, "Oh! So that's it! Well, now, Mr. Tao, they are just the object of suspicion! If, without further evidence, they should be fine, right? ”

The mother said, "Yes! I hope they're okay too! In the future, you don't have to worry about their affairs! If someone asks you, how is Mr. Tao's family! You just say it according to the actual situation, and that's it! Now, Mr. Tao's family has been locked up in prison! If there is indeed a problem, it will be difficult for them to see the light of day again in this life! ”

Mother, after telling me this, I feel that this matter is too serious!

......

On January 18th, Daling Primary School started classes normally again!

However, I don't have any nostalgia for this elementary school anymore!

In the morning, the principal and the school security officer asked me and a few other senior college students to clean the room where Mr. Tao's family used to live.

When we entered the room, we saw that it was already in pieces, with items and books scattered all over the floor, and quilts, pillows, and clothes all torn apart!

Perhaps, the searchers are looking for something small here!

Seeing these scenes, I felt chills all over my body!

While I was cleaning up the clutter, I found a couple of worn-out English manuals!

I quietly hid these manuals in my padded coat!

We quickly moved the debris outside for incineration!

After school at noon, when I got home, in the attic, I wiped down those books!

Then, use a dictionary to translate the English above.

Through translation reading, I learned that these books are textbooks about password editing, encryption, and deciphering techniques!

If these manuals are found by the searchers, Mr. Tao's family will be even more unclear!

So, I immediately tucked away these manuals at the bottom of my bedroom bookcase. In the future, I want to learn these techniques slowly!

......

In the afternoon, during class, Mr. Tao is the homeroom teacher of our class.

Therefore, all of our classmates were called by investigators for questioning!

The investigators asked me about Mr. Tao's family.

They mainly asked, the daily words and deeds of Mr. Tao's family, etc.!

I followed my mother's prompts and gave them truthful answers.

For me, Mr. Tao's family is over!

However, what happened to Mr. Tao's family this time had a great impact on my heart!

I've become more reticent, and if it weren't for the exams, I wouldn't have wanted to go into Daling Primary School again!

In normal times, I don't talk to anything except for my family, Xiaoda and Caiyan, etc., and I like to work silently in the photo studio alone!

......

At around 6 o'clock in the evening of January 26, my mother went to the county seat for a meeting and had not returned home, and Wei's mother, me, Jingdi and Lilan were at home.

I was helping Mama Wei with housework in the kitchen.

Suddenly, there was a sound from outside the yard, "Purchase scrap copper and rotten iron, chicken feathers and duck feathers!" The cry of the call.

Wei's mother said, "Oops! It's been a bad year! So late, there are still people who collect these things! Ahh Check it out! If the price is right, you can sell him those chicken feathers and duck feathers in the backyard! ”

So, I flashed my flashlight and went outside the front yard door.

When I got to the door, I saw an old man with a straw hat sitting on a stone bench outside the door!

When the old man saw me, he immediately stood up and said, "You're Ah Cai, right?" I'm here to get a walnut! ”

I said, "Don't talk nonsense! What walnuts! You still can't collect the chicken feathers? ”

The man lowered his hat and said, "The gold panning is not in the yellow sand, and there are five of the three strands and four mysteries!" I hope you remember these things! ”

I know that I know Mr. Tao, and I know that I learned the Pythagorean theorem from Mr. Tao!

I said, "Okay! Wait a minute, I'll help you get something right away! ”

So, I immediately ran to the backyard and took out the package from the brick crack under the manger.

Bring the package to my bedroom!

In the bedroom, I opened the package and took the walnuts out of the tin box! And wrap and hide the tin box.

Afterwards, I took the walnuts outside the front yard door.

Outside the door, the old man was still waiting for me.

He said, "What about things? Give it to me! ”

I said, "What if you're not that person?" ”

He smiled and said, "Shine a flashlight on my face!" Remember him! ”

Then he took off his straw hat and tore off the mask and beard on his face!

It turned out that he was a young and middle-aged man in his thirties!

This person was seen in the photo that Yanfang gave me, and their family was playing in the provincial capital!

He took out a heavy bag of things from his acquisition frame and placed it on the stone bench.

He said, "Give me something!" Can't be wrong! This bag is for you! Remember, keep it a secret! Otherwise, you and your family are finished! ”

I put the walnuts in his hands, and he immediately hid them on his body!

Then, he put on his straw hat, jumped on his burden, and ran to the intersection of the highway near our house in the thick of night!

For a long time, he quickly disappeared into the night!

......

I returned to my bedroom with the cloth bag that the man had left on the stone bench.

When I got to the bedroom, I opened it and was stunned by the sight of my eyes!

It's a bag of yellow, orange, orange and gold bars!

I didn't dare to look closely, so I hid the bag and gold in my clothes closet and locked it!

I slowly returned to the kitchen and helped Mama Wei continue to do the housework.

Wei's mother said: "Have you sold the chicken feathers and duck feathers?" ”

I said, "No! The man hated us for being too wet! ”

Wei's mother said, "Alas! This man doesn't know how to do business! People who can't make money will still buy things at night! ”

I laughed!

Before going to bed at night, I checked the gold bars and cloth bags under a flashlight.

There are a total of 40 gold bars, each of which is 1000 grams, and the gold code is 999!

According to the market price, this batch of gold is worth 100,000 yuan!

In the cloth bag, I found a letter!

The letter reads: Ah Cai, when you receive this letter, our family is safe! I wish you peace and a long journey!

Your teacher pans for gold.

After reading the letter, I burned it!

I put all the gold in a cloth bag and hid it at the bottom of my clothes cabinet!

I locked the cabinet and went to bed.

I lay on the bed and thought, Mr. Tao is indeed an important person, they are both inside and outside the prison!

Moreover, the personnel of their organization are trying to rescue them!

And that walnut is all the secret of their organization's network!

I shudder at the thought of this!

I hope that in the future, I will no longer have anything to do with the Tao family!
