Hu Xuan and Shi Suo handed over the things they brought from Tianjin to Yan Jiashi and He Yuan, and Yan Jiashi said happily: "Great, there are some manuscripts here, all of which are very valuable, we should not only read them well, but also recommend them to all colleagues." Our activities in Baoding cultural circles are in need of these things. ”

Xiao Lin and his classmates only stayed in Baoding for one day, then took the train to Beijing, He Yuan said to Hu Xuan: "Judging from the current situation, Hunan is the most tense, and the struggle there is also the most fierce, I have decided to go to Hunan, leaving Lao Yan here alone, what should you do?" Are you going to Hunan with me, or are you going back to Tianjin? ”

Hu Xuan said without hesitation: "Go to Hunan." When I was in Tianjin, Zhao Ming told me that it was best to go to the most intense place, and then bring the situation there back to Tianjin, so as to form effective contacts, communicate with each other, contact people of insight, and get to know colleagues from all factions. Moreover, I heard Kobayashi say that the popular movement there is in full swing, and we have long been yearning for it. ”

"Yes, that's right." Shi Suo and Xiao Li also agreed.

He Yuan nodded, "It's okay, but now the warlords have very sharp noses, and they have always chased and intercepted 'dissidents' like us, and they have been killing on a large scale, so we must be careful on the road, and it is best to dress up, not like an intellectual or a student." ”

The three young people have admired He Yuan's carefulness and wit since they participated in the rescue of Xiaolin's classmates, and they all agreed with him. He Yuan said: "In my opinion, Hu Xuan and Xiao Li are still wearing military uniforms, and Shi Suo and I are pretending to be followers, so that no matter the station or the dock, those guys will not pay attention." ”

"Okay," Hu Shu said with a smile, "I'll put on a disguise and stick a little beard." ”

At this time, Qirui and Feng Guozhang went to the field at the same time, the contradiction between the direct warlords and the Anhui warlords was temporarily put on hold, and the railway was opened to traffic normally, and the four people took the train from Baoding to Hankou along the Jinghan Railway. The journey was safe and smooth.

Hankou is economically developed, the trade is busy, the degree of prosperity is almost similar to Shanghai, at this time in the top in China, four people got off the train, Hu Xuan said: "Wuchang, Hanyang, Hankou, the three towns are standing, not only the prosperous metropolis, and there are many scenic spots, the Yellow Crane Tower, Hubu Lane, famous since ancient times, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen's Xinhai Revolution, took place here, is the most commemorative place. ”

Four people walked along the road, passing by the ruins of the Yellow Crane Tower, couldn't help but sigh, saw a world-famous scenic spot, because of the war damage, only a roof remains remained, Hu Bolt stopped, said: "If it weren't for the long-term war in the country, such a famous spot should have been rebuilt and rebuilt a long time ago, I don't know when, in order to stabilize the country, reproduce the majesty of the Yellow Crane Tower." ”

"Yes, definitely." A hearty voice behind him said.

Hu Xuan looked back and saw a tall and thin middle-aged man behind him, smiling at him, so he nodded.

The middle-aged man seemed to be also a tourist, and stepped forward and continued: "The Yellow Crane Tower has been destroyed several times and rebuilt several times, and its history is almost a microcosm of the country's history. ”

He Yuan said: "The three famous buildings in the world, the Yellow Crane Tower, the Yueyang Tower, and the Tengwang Pavilion, probably the Yellow Crane Tower is the most vicissitudes, which may be because Wuchang is located in the national geographic center, connecting the north and south, and is strategically important, so there is always a constant war." ”

"Geographical location is a factor," said the tall and thin middle-aged man: "In addition, this place has a long history, the Yangtze River civilization stretches for thousands of years, various cultures collide and merge here, every war, conflict, exchange, have become a cultural accumulation, the Yellow Crane Tower has been damaged several times, several times built, no matter how serious the damage, has never reduced its reputation, even if it is razed to the ground, it is also a holy place to visit in people's hearts, one of the three famous buildings in the world." Just like this Wuchang City, every time it is swallowed up by the flames of war, it is always a collection of essences, outstanding people, leading the trend of concepts, and setting a precedent. ”

This middle-aged man talked eloquently, and his words were incisive, which made He Yuan and several people greatly admired, and Hu Xuan couldn't help but say: "Mr. said very well, the Yangtze River is thousands of miles, although there are dangers and obstacles, it will not change to the east, and history will not stop moving forward because of people's obstruction, you are right, the Yellow Crane Tower will definitely be built more majestic than the original." ”

"That's right." The middle-aged man applauded and laughed.

At this time, everyone stands on the snake mountain, climbs high and looks far away, only to see the mighty Yangtze River, rushing from afar, flowing from the feet, sprinkling away, the big river goes east, an unstoppable momentum is magnificent, on both sides of the Yangtze River, layers of autumn leaves are yellow and green, full of vitality, the autumn colors on the riverside, beautiful.

The tall and thin middle-aged man and He Yuan pointed to the scenery on the riverbank, talked and laughed a few words, and suddenly whispered quietly: "Several, someone is following you just now, you must be careful." ”

Several people were taken aback, turned around and pretended to enjoy the scenery, searched carefully, but found no suspicious characters, the middle-aged man said: "It's not wrong, just now a short man, looking very smart." ”

"Thank you, sir." He Yuan also whispered.

The middle-aged man nodded, "You're from afar, aren't you?" Although there is no war here, it is not peaceful, although these two little brothers are in the army, but there are many factions here, and dangers are lurking, so be careful. Speaking of this, he smiled again, and whispered to Hu Xuan and Xiao Li: "Although you are wearing military uniforms, you are polite and polite, and you are not a martial artist at all, so I reminded you." ”

"Thank you very much, dare to ask Mr. Honorable Surname." Hu Xuan said.

"My surname is Kang. It's teaching in the school down there. After Mr. Kang finished speaking, he arched his hand and walked away.

He Yuan and the others continued to play for a while, then left Snake Mountain, carefully observing all the way, but they did not see the shadow of a stalker.

The four of them stayed in Wuchang for one night, and at this time, the railway from Wuchang to Changsha had just been built and had not yet been officially operated, so the four of them decided to walk south.

"Anyway, it's not far, it's more leisurely to walk." Shi Suo said.

Out of Wuchang City, a few people all the way south, although it is autumn, but the weather is still hot, this afternoon, in a guest house on the side of the road, because of the heat, four people rested, early stay in the store.

Entering the store, Xiao Er greeted him, looked at the four people, and smiled, "Four, you came here so early, and the room has been prepared for you." ”

"You can talk." Shi Suo said to the shopkeeper.

After settling down in the accommodation, Xiao Er brought food and watermelon tea, He Yuan said, "We didn't let you serve such a sumptuous meal." ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, "Does the guest officer think we are not serving well?" What you want, just ask. ”

"No orders, eat quickly." Shi Suo was hungry and began to eat.

The next day, when settling the bill with the inn, the shopkeeper said: "Your account has already been settled, please go slowly." ”

He Yuan said: "It's over? Who knotted it? Xiao Er said: "Just yesterday, a few military masters have already arranged it." ”

He Yuan pulled Hu Xuan and the others aside and said, "I felt something was wrong yesterday, it seems that they made a mistake." ”

Hu Xuan said: "Yes, I also think it's a mistake, let's pay according to the bill." ”

Several people came to negotiate with Xiao Er and asked for payment, Xiao Er looked surprised, and said: "No, no, no, it will never be wrong, it is the four of you who have been explained, if I don't entertain well, people don't go around me, please raise your hand." "Saying that, it is arching again, and it is making a move.

After talking for a long time, Xiao Er just didn't accept it, and the four of them had to go on the road, Shi Suo said: "Don't pull him down, maybe it's the big man in the army, the tolerance route arranged, since we admit that we are wrong, taking advantage of the warlord, it's nothing." ”

"If you're mistaken, it's fine." Hu Xuan said: "What I'm afraid of is that people are not mistaken, then it will be troublesome." ”

"That's right," He Yuan said, "When I was in Wuchang, that Mr. Kang told us that there was a follow-up, and I guess that was true, and Mr. Kang was a kind reminder." Let's go south, although we have been on guard, but there is a sky outside the sky, and if there are masters to target us, it is really dangerous. ”

"That's right," Shi Suo suddenly remembered, "At the beginning, we just let the flying mountain monkey be stared at for a long time, just like a ghost, it was impossible to prevent it, and it was a headache. ”

This made everyone nervous, discussed it, and there was no good countermeasure, so they decided to be more careful along the road and act at the opportunity.

Everyone hurried slowly, walked for a day, in the evening, saw a very large village and town, the town side of the road, there is a big inn, Hu Xuan said: "Today to catch up with the road, we are also tired, let's stay early." Everyone agreed, and as soon as the four of them entered the door, Xiao Er hurriedly greeted them, "Four, here, I have already prepared it for you." ”

When the four of them heard this, their faces became nervous, and after looking at each other, He Yuan said to the shopkeeper, "Who arranged it?" What's going on? ”

After asking for a long time, Xiao Er only knew that it was a few soldiers, paid early, and ordered to be entertained, and he didn't know anything else. He Yuan said to him: "You are mistaken, they arranged someone else, and we don't know these people." ”

The shopkeeper said suspiciously: "That's good, two young officers, with two followers, aren't you who you are?" I didn't have an officer in the store all day. ”

He Yuan and the others just shook their heads, and the shopkeeper came over, insisting that the four of them enter the arranged "VIP room", and said: "If you don't think we are neglectful, we are satisfied, and we have already paid." As he spoke, he instructed the shopkeeper to bring the food.

Shi Suo didn't care about it, sat down and ate, He Yuan smiled: "Okay, since they don't admit that they made a mistake, let's not be polite, let's eat." ”

Hu Xuan said: "Now the soldier is the uncle, and this shop would rather make a mistake than offend the soldier." He shook his head as he spoke.

"I always felt that something was wrong." He Yuan said: "When everyone sleeps, be careful. ”

"I think so." Hu Shu nodded.
