Chapter 953: Returning to My Sister and Sweeping the Tomb
Two days later, Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui embarked on the road south to sweep the tomb.
This is also the second time in 30 years that Yi Qiushui has visited the graves of his biological parents.
Since she was adopted by Guo Caodi's uncles, she has never returned to this hometown in her memory.
I only remember that the last time I came to sweep the graves of my biological parents was when I was seven or eight years old, when I was still young, and tomb sweeping was a form for her.
She just worshiped her ancestors according to the teachings of adults, but she couldn't understand the true meaning of family affection at that time.
That's how people are.
It is better to be born than to be nurtured, and she will only remember the adoptive parents who raised her.
It's not that Yi Qiushui is ruthless, but the real situation is like this, the first thing that comes to mind in her memory is her adoptive parents, how do you make her remember her biological parents?
Yang Jun did not notify the local government, but only brought a few people around him out.
After getting off the plane, he took a car to a martyr's cemetery called Sword Pavilion.
Yi Qiushui knelt in front of a tombstone, constantly wiping the blurry pair of photos on the tombstone.
There was no crying, no words, just kneeling quietly.
Yang Jun didn't come forward to disturb her, at this moment, she needed to be alone.
There was no imaginary weeping, no affectionate crying, everything was peaceful, as if it happened naturally.
"Husband, let's go back."
After about half an hour, Yi Qiushui got up.
Because he had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, Yi Qiushui almost fell when he first got up.
Yang Jun hurriedly went over to help her.
"Okay, let's go back to the hotel and rest first."
The two came down from the mountain and got into the car.
Seeing that she was depressed, Yang Jun opened his mouth to comfort,
"I have already asked Tan Qin to connect with the local government department, and I think it won't be long before there will be results."
"Well, I hope that's good news."
Yi Qiushui seemed to be tired, leaning on Yang Jun's shoulder and closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
"Sleep, I've got everything." Yang Jun hugged her tightly.
After a while, Yi Qiushui came with the sound of even breathing.
The car was driving smoothly on the road, the car was very quiet, looking at the scenery outside the window, Yang Jun's thoughts flew away.
Looking at the sweet Yi Qiushui sleeping in his arms, Yang Jun showed a guilty look on his face.
Actually, the results of the investigation have come out, but he didn't dare to tell Yi Qiushui the truth.
The family surnamed Hu has been found, and it has been confirmed from their mouths that the little girl who was fostered in their home had died of smallpox when she was two years old.
The news that Yang Jun got was the same as the result of Guo Caodi's investigation, and Sister Yi Qiushui was indeed gone.
It's just that Yang Jun didn't dare to tell Yi Qiushui the truth.
He only hoped to delay as much time as possible and make Yi Qiushui desperate a few days later.
But...... This day will not drag on for long.
When he returned to the hotel, seeing that Yi Qiushui was still asleep, Yang Jun couldn't bear to wake her up and was about to pick her up.
Who knows, as soon as he picked it up, Yi Qiushui woke up.
"Arrived?"
Yi Qiushui rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Well, if you don't wake up, go back to your room and go back to sleep." Yang Jundao.
Yi Qiushui looked around, then stretched.
"No, I want to see where my parents lived."
"Okay, I'll be with you."
Yang Jun turned back to Sun Zhaocai, Ding Erzhu, Sun Zhaodi, and said, "Don't accompany you, go back to the hotel and rest first."
"Yes, godfather."
A few people answered, and then went back to the hotel.
After they left, Yang Jun and Yi Qiushui walked down the street arm in arm.
Sometimes they stop to see the scenery, sometimes they try the food from the roadside stalls, and sometimes they ask others
Local customs.
Yi Qiushui seemed to be very interested in all this, and kept the customs and customs in his heart.
Yang Jun also acted as a coolie, accompanying Yi Qiushui to buy a lot of local food and play.
"Husband, I'm thirsty, go buy a bottle of soda." Yi Qiushui said suddenly.
When Yang Jun heard this, he looked at the sky.
The sun was so big overhead, the streets looked like roasted chains from afar, and the leaves on the branches were motionless as if they were still pictures.
"Okay, you wait for me here, I'll buy it for you."
Yang Jun stuffed the things he bought into Yi Qiushui, and he ran to a commissary across the street.
I bought two bottles of soda for four cents, but the boss wouldn't let him take the soda bottles with him, and if he wanted to take them away, he had to spend two more cents.
Yang Jun didn't feel sorry for the money, and directly gave him five cents.
Grab the soda, turn around and walk out of the commissary.
As soon as I went out, I ran into Yi Qiushui.
"Hey, didn't I tell you to wait, why, I can't stand the thirst?"
Who knows, Yi Qiushui looked at him with a confused expression.
"Hey, are you stupid and don't know me?"
Yang Jun spoke as he handed her the soft drink with the lid open.
Who knew that Yi Qiushui was so frightened that he retreated again and again, looking at him vigilantly.
Seeing this, Yang Jun was stunned for a moment.
He looked at her carefully, then frowned.
"You...... Where did you change this outfit, not to mention, this dress really looks like a local."
After hearing this, Yi Qiushui took two steps back again, looking at him with confused eyes.
"Comrade, did you recognize the wrong person?"
When Yang Jun heard this, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with you?"
However, he took a closer look, and it really made him see the doorway.
"You're not Yi Qiushui?"
The woman in front of her looks like Yi Qiushui, but if you look closely, it's a little different.
This woman looks older than Yi Qiushui, and her skin is not as well maintained as Yi Qiushui.
The key is in temperament, there is a world of difference between the two.
The woman in front of her is an authentic Sichuan person.
"Who the hell are you?"
Seeing this woman who looked like Yi Qiushui, a thought flashed through Yang Jun's mind.
"Inexplicably, I don't know you, why are you asking my name."
The woman seemed reluctant to deal with Yang Jun, and then turned her head and picked up the basket on the side of the road and left.
Seeing this, Yang Jun hurriedly followed.
"Comrade, are you surnamed Hu?"
When the woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment.
He didn't speak, but quickened his pace in a panic.
Seeing this, Yang Jun was willing to give up easily.
"Are you talking, is your surname Hu?"
The woman's steps were quicker.
"Don't follow me, or I'll call someone."
Seeing this, Yang Jun hurriedly waved his hand at Yi Qiushui, who was waiting for him across the road.
Seeing this, Yi Qiushui shook his head listlessly, and then slowly carried things over.
Seeing this, Yang Jun hurriedly greeted him.
Throw everything out of her hands.
"Don't worry about that yet, I think I've found your sister."
Yi Qiushui was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Then he said excitedly, "Old Yang, really? Where is she?"
"Right ahead." Yang Jun pointed ahead.
Yi Qiushui didn't care about the big bags and small bags that he couldn't buy, and then followed Yang Jun to chase after him quickly.
But in the blink of an eye, the woman who looked like Yi Qiushui just now disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, was it just here?"
Yang Jun stood at the intersection and looked around.
"Husband, did you recognize the wrong person?"
Yi Qiushui also looked around and asked anxiously.
"No mistake, that woman has the same face as you, and I can recognize it when it turns to ashes."
"Really?"
When Yi Qiushui heard this, his face became even more anxious.
Ignoring the crowd of people on the street, he shouted loudly with his hands in the shape of a trumpet, "Sister, where are you?"
"Sister, I'm my sister, don't hide, okay?"
Seeing this, Yang Jun hurriedly pulled her aside.
"Okay, don't scream, you call it that, who knows who your sister is?"
"What should I do, husband, you must help me find her."
Yang Jun patted her hand and comforted, "She is carrying a fruit basket, she can't go far, let's look for it separately."
"Okay, I'll go east, you go west, and we'll look for it separately."
"Okay."
Subsequently, the two separated to find someone.
Yang Jun followed the streets to the west, and he picked up those remote alleys to find them.
Sichuan people pick up the burden and sell fruits, and they love to drill into those small alleys.
This search was indeed found by him.
In a small alley with more people, Yang Jun found that the woman who looked like Yi Qiushui was squatting on the side of the alley and selling fruits.
Seeing this, Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, no matter what, I have to ask this woman's bottom line.
He strode over.
The woman suddenly looked up and saw Yang Jun, and subconsciously wanted to carry the burden and leave.
"Comrade, don't go, I'll buy fruit."
Yang Jun hurriedly grabbed her flat pole, and then squatted on the ground with a smile to pick up the fruit.
"I won't sell it to you, you get out of the way."
The woman saw that Yang Jun was stalking and fighting, and she was always on guard in her heart.
"Hey, I said that you, comrade, don't have a kind of like you, what's the reason for not being allowed to buy fruit when you look at it?"
When the woman heard this, she frowned, "I don't have a surname, and I'm not the person you're looking for."
"I don't look for anyone, I just buy fruit."
Yang Jun picked a relatively large citrus and said, "How much is a catty?"
The woman's lips and jaw moved a few times, and then she said, "One dime, two and one pounds."
"Yo, you're selling for a lot of money, and everyone else sells for eight cents."
When the woman heard this, she immediately became anxious.
"I naturally have a reason to sell expensive, my citrus is home-grown, and the varieties are good, but they are sweeter than those wholesale."
"Really?"
Yang Jun groaned slightly: "I'll taste it."
After speaking, he peeled a citrus by himself.
I tasted it, and it was really sweet.
"Well, it's sweet."
After saying that, he looked up and said to the woman, "Do you still have this kind of citrus in your house? I want to buy more."
When the woman heard this, she pointed to two full baskets and said, "Isn't this enough for you to eat?"
"Not enough, far from enough."
Yang Jun said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I am a cadre from Beiping who came to Luyou, I want to buy more of this fruit and bring it back to the employees as welfare, your two baskets are not enough at all, I want a large amount."
When the woman heard this, she pondered for a moment, and looked at him with half-believing eyes.
"You don't mean to ask for my address, do you?"
"I'm telling you, I'm ...... I already have a man, he's very powerful, you don't hit me and pay attention."
When Yang Jun heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled and said, "This comrade, where do you want to go, I am a cadre, a principled person, and I will not do that kind of thing to bully men and women."
"I just wanted to buy some citrus, nothing else."
When the woman heard this, she became even more incredulous.
Especially Yang Jun's young appearance, coupled with this dress, made her feel it
A hint of crisis.
"Hmm...... Hmmm......"
The woman hesitated, then said, "I don't have any citrus in my house anymore, everything is here."
"If that's all you want, there's really nothing left at home."
Yang Jun was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled.
She didn't want to move this woman to be so vigilant, and would rather not do this business than reveal the address of her home.
However, she was only so guarded.
If she hadn't asked people about that scene before, she would have hated to be willing to make such a big deal.
"Okay, that's all." Yang Jundao.
The woman was stunned for a moment.
"All-inclusive?"
"yes, why, you don't want to sell?" Yang Jun looked at her with a smile.
Seeing Yang Jun's ill-intentioned smile, the woman was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head.
"It's expensive, two boxes are a lot of money."
"It's okay, I'm not short of money."
After saying that, he took out a wad of money from his pocket.
Seeing this, the woman relaxed her heart slightly.
Seeing that Yang Jun really had the intention of buying citrus, his guard relaxed a little.
Weigh the pound and pay the money.
Yang Jun said, "Comrade, I'm staying in the hotel on the street in front, can you help me pick the citrus?"
"Oh, don't worry, I won't miss you for your hard work."
When the woman heard this, she hesitated.
Then he stuffed the flat pole in his hand directly to Yang Jun.
"I don't want it, you can just pick it up."
"No, you ......."
Yang Jun was stunned for a moment.
He didn't want to move this woman so guarded, and he didn't believe him until now.
Actually, he originally planned to let her send the citrus to the hotel, and then let Yi Qiushui and the others endure it, but he didn't expect it......
"It's a lot of money, don't you really want it?"
The woman accepted the citrus money, then turned and walked out of the alley.
"No, it's all homemade, and it's not worth a few dollars."
"Hey ......"
Looking at the back of the woman leaving, Yang Jun shook his head with a wry smile.
pondered for a moment, then threw down the basket and followed.
Yang Jun decided that today he had to know where this woman lived no matter what.
Therefore, he followed cautiously along the way.
However, the woman was already wary, and on the way back, she looked back from time to time to see if anyone was following her.
Fortunately, Yang Jun has been a soldier king for eleven years, and his tracking skills are first-class, and he uses street obstacles and trees to cover up, so that he is not discovered.
In a few moments, the woman was out of the city and headed for the suburbs.
The suburban roads are all bare, and the body is not easy to hide.
Yang Jun had no choice but to turn on the space mode, hide himself in the space, and then follow not far behind her.
As she got farther and farther away from the county seat, the woman walked deeper into a mountain.
It looked like it was about an hour or so.
The woman finally stopped in a small mountain village with only five or six households.
She looked back at the road and saw that no one was following, so she came to a dilapidated house.
"Mommy, Mommy!"
"Mommy is back."
As soon as she entered the house, she saw two children rushing towards her.
It was two girls, the older one was fifteen years old, and the younger one was seven or eight years old.
The older girl had a two- or three-year-old boy on her back.
When the three children saw that their mother had returned, they all gathered around happily.
Looking at the three children circling around her, the woman's face was filled with happiness.
"Mom, you came back so early today, Citrus
Is it sold out?"
The older girl asked worriedly when she saw her mother coming back empty-handed.
When the woman heard this, she smiled and said, "Today I met a generous uncle who packed all the citrus fruits of our family, so my mother came back a little earlier."
After saying that, a sorrow flashed on the woman's face.
When she thought of Yang Jun's face and his smile, she always felt a good feeling.
When the girl heard this, she said happily, "That's great, if only I could meet my uncle every day, and my mother wouldn't have to come back every day."
When the woman heard this, she stroked the girl's hair pettingly.
"Oh, how can this kind of thing happen every day, it's good to encounter it once."
As soon as she remembered that Yang Jun was going to wrap all the citrus, she felt a little pity.
"Not necessarily, Mom, you've always been lucky, maybe you'll meet that uncle again tomorrow." The girl jumped to her feet and said happily.
"Silly girl, that uncle is just passing by on a business trip, how can he meet tomorrow...... That's it."
As the woman's voice became quieter and quieter, her eyes were immediately attracted by a person walking down the slope.
As she looked, the children noticed that a man was walking down the slope.
The man walked towards them with a short-sleeved white shirt on top, good trousers on the bottom, and leather shoes on his feet.
This person is none other than Yang Jun.
He was afraid that his sudden appearance would frighten them, so he turned back and found a place where no one was around.
As he walked, he waved at the woman.
"Hey, see you again."
When the woman saw Yang Jun, she hurriedly protected the three children behind her in horror, and said in a wary tone,
"You...... How did you find this?"
Yang Jun smiled, "You brought me here."
After speaking, he pointed to her home and said, "You don't mind if I go in and visit, right?"
Before the woman could say mind, Yang Jun walked straight into the house.
The woman's home was run-down, typically made of wooden planks.
The house was a few years old, and many of the planks had rotted, and there were leaks everywhere, and the loopholes were surrounded by straw.
"You...... Why are you like this?"
Seeing that Yang Jun didn't treat himself as an outsider, this woman was also anxious.
hurriedly followed Yang Jun in.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a musty smell greeted you.
There is a lot of rain in this part of the river, and the house is made of wood, so when it is sunny, the inside of the house is prone to mold.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, only a few simple furniture, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a house with four walls.
The home, although very poor, is very clean.
On one side of the corner of the living room there were baskets of citrus, presumably picked by the little girl during the day and kept for her mother to sell in the city tomorrow.
There are two picture frames hanging on the wall of the house, one is full of old black and white photos, and the other is a frame......
A man who looks like he is fifty years old hangs on the wall......
If you guessed correctly, this man should be the owner of this house, but he ......
"Is this your man?"
Yang Jun turned around and asked.
The woman blushed and said, "Yes."
"Who are you, and what are you trying to do with me?"
"I'm telling you, although my man is gone, you don't want to bully our mothers."
When Yang Jun heard this, his heart was sour.
Presumably, the widow of the dead man in front of her is usually harassed.
Yang Jun waved his hand and said, "Comrade, don't worry, I'm not a bad person, I have no malice."
"That...... Then what do you want to do with me all the way from the county seat?"
The woman said as she grabbed a broken knife that cut pigweed next to her.
Seeing this, Yang Jun raised his hand to signal that she didn't need to be afraid, and he silently took three steps back.
He took out his wedding photo of Yi Qiushui from his pocket and gestured to the woman.
(Actually, it was taken out of space.) )
"You look a lot like my wife, and I suspect you're her sister who has been missing for years, so that's why I followed you."
After that, he handed the picture to the woman.
The woman took it cautiously, looked at it, and then her mouth widened with shock.
"I...... When am I going to marry you?"
Yang Jun smiled, "It's not you, the person above is my wife."
said, and then pointed to Yi Qiushui in the photo and said, "Take a closer look, do you two look alike?"
The woman looked at it carefully, and then let out a surprised sound from time to time.
"This ...... Who is this woman, and why does she look so much like me?"
When Yang Jun heard this, he smiled and said, "The person in the photo is called Yi Qiushui, who is my wife, and this time we made a special trip from Beiping to help her find her long-lost sister."
"Unexpectedly, we met on the street today, and I thought you were my wife at the time, think about it, did I mistake you at that time?"
When the woman heard this, she recalled the scene when she and Yang Jun met on the street today.
At that time, Yang Jun did admit her as a mistake, and then followed her all the way to the house.
"So...... You're not a bad person anymore?"
Yang Jun smiled, "Of course not, have you ever seen a bad guy who looks so handsome?"
When the woman heard this, her face flushed.
However, she was no longer as vigilant as she had just been, and the machete in her hand was quietly still on the side.
"Can you tell me about you?" Yang Jun asked.
"I...... Is there anything you'd like to ask?" The woman said.
"Hmm...... What is your name? Is your surname Hu?"
The woman groaned slightly, and said, "My name is Zhao Qiuyue, I don't have the surname Hu, but my man's surname is Hu."
When Yang Jun heard this, his brows tightened.
"Are you sure you don't have a surname?"
When the woman heard this, she was slightly angry: "Why are you like this, my surname is not Hu, can I be sure myself?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I ...... Just to confirm." Yang Jun hurriedly apologized.
However, before Yang Jun finished speaking, Zhao Qiuyue's words almost made him jump.
"I took my mother's surname, and when my adoptive father adopted me, he didn't have that surname."
"And what's your original last name?"
When Yang Jun heard this, he grabbed her hand excitedly.
Seeing Yang Jun's demeanor, the woman blushed and pulled her hand out.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Yang Jun hurriedly apologized: "Please tell me, what is your original surname?"
The woman tilted her head and thought carefully: "It seems that her surname is Lin ......."
