At night, Busan Pu is silent.

Shi Lang and Hua ancestors are one left and one right, holding the pulp and rowing. In order not to make a big movement as much as possible, the two of them rowed not too hard, and the frequency was not too fast. The boat moved steadily on the dark water.

Ye Ruliu sat quietly on the boat, looking up at the stars in the sky, thoughtful. Zhu Qing and Cambodia leaned next to Ye Ruliu, each thinking about their own thoughts.

In the distance on the right side of the boat, in Busanurachi, fishing lanterns are lit. As everyone knows, the faint light of this little fishing lantern came from the Japanese warships anchored in Punai.

Fortunately, until the rowing boat reached the shore east of Shaxi Village, Shi Lang, Hua Xianzu and the other five people did not encounter any danger. It seems that in this rear port far from the front line of the war, the vigilance of the Japanese people is not too high.

When Ye Ruliu, Zhu Qing and Cambodian Yu came ashore, Shi Lang and Hua Xianzu rowed the boat into a patch of aquatic grass on the shore, tied the boat to a rock on the shore, and then jumped ashore.

"I haven't been back for many years, but I didn't expect the village to be dilapidated like this." Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar hometown village in front of him, Cambodian was full of emotion.

"Yes, the arrival of the Japanese people has changed many beautiful villages like Shaxi Village beyond recognition." Ye Ruliu gently stroked Cambodia's shoulder, and said half with emotion and half comfort.

"One day, the hateful Japanese people will be repaid with blood." Zhu Qing said indignantly.

"Miss Li, where is your home in the village?" Shi Lang asked.

"You see, I patronized the scene and forgot to take everyone to my house. Not far away, walk forward from here, turn an alley and arrive. As she spoke, she led the way in front and led everyone to her home.

The footsteps of the five people caused a burst of dog barking, adding a lot of life to this quiet and peaceful seaside village.

"Here it is." Coming to a courtyard gate, Cambodia stopped, pointed to the two dilapidated wooden doors and said to everyone.

"Could it be ......" Looking at the wooden door in front of him, Shi Lang and Hua Ancestor had the same guess in their hearts almost at the same time. Yes, the courtyard in front of him is the courtyard where Shi Lang and Hua Ancestor once knocked on the door and bought a boat from the middle-aged man.

"Knock knock." Just as Shi Lang and Hua Ancestor were thoughtful, Cambodian Lai couldn't wait to start knocking on the door, "Brother, open the door." ”

"It's coming, it's coming...... These three watches in the middle of the night don't let people sleep. Who? Accompanied by an impatient knock on the door, the sound of the door opening and a man's complaint came from the courtyard.

"Brother, it's me, Cambodia. It's Cambodia...... It's back! Hearing the familiar voice in the courtyard, Cambodia couldn't help but feel excited, and said to the man inside in an almost choked voice.

"Cambodian ...... Aren't you the last year after being dragged onto Shadow Island by the Japanese people...... Killed? You...... You are a human or a ghost, but don't run in the middle of the night to scare my brother and me. I know that you died a miserable death, sister, and my brother has always wanted to find a chance to avenge you...... And I didn't stop burning incense for you and your parents. Good girl, don't scare my brother. ”

"Brother, I'm not dead. Hurry up and open the door. I'm not alone, I have a few friends. ”

"Girl...... You're really not dead? ”

"Oops, not dead. If you don't believe me, open the door and take a look. ”

"Okay, I'll open the door."

A crack opened in the courtyard door, and a middle-aged man's face full of doubt and fear slowly emerged from inside.

"Sure enough, it's Cambodia's brother." Sticking out of the crack in the door was the middle-aged man who had sold the ships to the squad

Man's face.

After "Brother ......" experienced the life and death on Jueying Island, although Li Youmei had developed a strong psychological quality, she still couldn't control the tears that came out of her eyes after seeing the only remaining face of her loved one in the world sticking out of the crack in the door.

"Cambodian ...... It's really you! Quick, come inside. It's cold outside. The middle-aged man rushed to the door and grabbed Cambodia's hand.

"Brother......" Cambodian is like a child who has been wronged outside and sees his parents, throwing himself into his brother's arms and crying bitterly.

"Good girl, brother knows that you have been wronged outside. Cry, cry out and feel better. The middle-aged man comforted while gently stroking Cambodia's back.

"By the way, brother, I came back with me this time, along with a few of my friends. Let's go into the house, and I'll introduce you to them. After crying, he raised his head from his brother's arms and pointed to the people behind him.

Shi Lang and Hua Xianzu stepped forward and greeted Cambodia's brother cordially: "Brother, do you still recognize us?" ”

"You ...... Aren't they the ones who bought my boat? Cambodia's brother apparently immediately recognized the members of the team at the scene.

"It's us." Shi Lang replied with a smile.

"Brother, let's go into the house first. so as not to disturb the neighbors. "Cambodia, who already knows the true identities of the team members, is still more cautious.

"Okay, everyone, please come into the house." Cambodia's elder brother is also a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw that his sister was in a hurry to let everyone into the house, he quickly turned around and pushed the two courtyard doors open.

"Brother, close the courtyard door." When everyone entered the courtyard, Cambodia said to his brother.

Seeing that his sister was so cautious and mysterious, the middle-aged man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly closed the door and tied it up.

When everyone entered the house, Cambodia first introduced his brother to everyone. Then Shi Lang, Hua Xianzu, Ye Ruliu and Zhu Qing were introduced to their elder brothers one by one. Of course, the cautious Cambodian did not reveal everyone's real names and identities to his brother, but only said to his brother that he was a friend he had just met.

Cambodia's elder brother has a nice name - Li Letian. Li Letian is not the kind of pure honest countryman, and there is more or less cleverness between his eyebrows. From Shi Lang, Hua Xianzu and Ye Ruliu's gestures, he had a hunch that these people who entered the house with his sister would definitely not be idle people.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Otherwise, I'll get you some food. Li Letian looked at Cambodia's face and asked everyone.

"No need, brother. We've already eaten. I can't stay at home, and we'll have to go to Busan tomorrow. You clean up the house for everyone, so that my friends can have a good rest tonight. ”

"Okay, I'll clean it up." Li Letian agreed, ran out of the door of the main room, and went to the east and west wings to clean up.

After Li Letian walked out of the door, Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu and others in the main room of the north house each found a place to sit down. Seeing that Cambodia was in a daze looking at the familiar room furnishings, Ye Ruliu opened his mouth and said, "Cambodia, your brother has a very nice name. Your parents must have given him the name, right? ”

"It was my father who started it. I once heard my father say that maybe it was the name because my brother was an optimist since he was a child, and he was happy all day long. But then an accident made my brother completely like a different person, and he no longer saw a smile on his face.

"When my brother was eighteen years old, the family booked a family affair for her, and the woman was from a neighboring village. My brother was very pleased with the woman. I had already set a date to get married, but

Just three days before the day of the passing, a distant cousin of the woman's mother, who had not moved for many years, came to the woman's house.

It is said that her cousin is a businessman in Busan and has a wealthy family. The distant cousin was joined by his son. This cousin was originally passing by a neighboring village on business. It may have been late in the day, and there are not as many inns and liquor stores in this rural area as there are in Busan. This cousin must have just wanted to find a place to live before he remembered that there was an eldest cousin in this village who had not been in contact for many years.

When the woman's family saw her distant cousin from Busan City, she was naturally warmly welcomed. That night, the two families chatted happily over wine. The woman's parents were too drunk to drink, and the two were drunk and unconscious.

"Na Cheng thought, his amorous son, who came with this eldest cousin, fell in love with my brother's fiancée at first sight, and that night, he sneaked into my brother's fiancée's room and raped her. My brother's fiancée was a faithful woman, and when she was humiliated, she committed suicide by hanging.

Early the next morning, the woman's parents, who woke up, found out that their daughter had been humiliated and died, so they naturally did not let go of the eldest cousin father and son, and threatened to sue the official. In the end, the eldest cousin paid a large sum of money to settle the matter.

"When my brother learned the bad news, he locked himself alone in the east wing for three days without eating or drinking. By the time he walked out of the room again, he had changed into a stuffy man who kept his head down all day long.

Later, his parents introduced him to several other women, but none of my brother could catch his eye. I know that he can't get over the humiliation and death of his fiancée. ”

"It seems that your brother is a very affectionate person." Ye Ruliu said.

"Maybe. Judging from my brother's performance after this accident, I always feel that he has become a person who hides his heart deeply. Before that, he was a man who talked about everything. ”

"People change, especially those who have undergone major changes, whether in terms of personality or perception of people and things, there may be major changes." Zhuqing seems to be feeling it.

Just when everyone had nothing to do and chatted, Li Letian had already cleaned up the house.

At the beginning, the Cambodian family of four lived in the main house and the east and west wings. After Cambodia went to Busan, her parents still kept the bed in the east wing where Cambodia lived to express their thoughts on their daughter. After Cambodia's parents were killed by the Japanese, Cambodia's elder brother Li Lotian moved to the main house where his parents lived, and the bed furnishings at home were almost unchanged. Therefore, Li Letian did not take long to clean up the beds in the three rooms.

After Shi Lang and Hua Xianzu briefly greeted Li Letian, they went to the west wing to rest. Ye Ruliu and Zhu Qing also briefly expressed their gratitude to Li Letian and went to the east wing where Cambodia once lived.

Only Li Letian and Li Youmei, brothers and sisters, were left in the main room of the north house. A pair of brothers and sisters who haven't seen each other for many years inevitably have a long talk about the joys and sorrows they experienced after parting.

In the west wing, Shi Lang and Hua Xianzu talked for a while about the possible enemy situation and plan of action they might face next, and then lay down on the wooden bed and slept in their clothes.

After three watches in the night, Shi Lang was woken up by a mouse that climbed into bed. The mouse was so frightened by Shi Lang who woke up and turned over that he jumped onto the table next to the bed, and jumped up to the beam of the room with a tall wooden box standing on the table, and then lay on the beam, looking at Shi Lang on the bed in horror.

Shi Lang was made sleepy by this mouse for a while, so he simply held his head in his hands and looked at the little mouse.

Shi Lang looked at it, and found a long-handled Pu knife lying on the beam next to the mouse.
