Chapter 163 Sai Mulan's Family
Diaoling Town, Sihe Village
South end of the village,
There is a spacious and magnificent quadrangle courtyard with three entrances covering an area of five mu. The high walls surrounding the courtyard show the status and wealth of the owner.
This is the home of Jiang Hailiang, a big landlord in our village!
Night falls, early autumn night,
There was a hint of chill in the air.
Two men and one woman walked towards the gate of the compound.
"Ningning, your family is so magnificent!"
"Back then, my mother met my father when she was studying in Fengtian. My father's family was poor, and my mother married into a family of lower class, so they didn't like my father very much. But my uncle was pretty good to me and Yantian."
Getting closer and closer to the gate,
A guard at the door carrying a rifle began to shout,
"Who?"
"It's me, Tang Yanning!"
"Tang Yanning?" The servant thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to the courtyard.
"Go tell the master quickly that someone is coming to the second young lady's house!"
After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a blue cotton jacket and a melon-shaped hat came out. He had a fat head and big ears, and was holding a pipe in his hand.
Seeing Sai Mulan, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Ningning, Yantian? Why are you here? Come in, come in!"
This person is Sai Mulan’s uncle, Jiang Hailiang!
In the room, after being introduced by Sai Mulan, Jiang Hailiang said to Yin Xinjun in a serious tone,
"Xiao Yin, you have to treat Ning Ning well. If you dare to bully her, don't blame me for being rude!"
Although Jiang Hailiang doesn't get along with Sai Mulan's father, he has loved his sister, Sai Mulan's mother Jiang Haiyan, since childhood!
Yin Xinjun immediately said,
"Uncle, please rest assured. Ningning is more important to me than my life!"
Jiang Hailiang started talking about his sister's childhood and burst into tears. He sighed that his sister had a miserable life and got a serious illness at such a young age!
Tears welled up in Sai Mulan's eyes, perhaps she was thinking of her mother again!
Yin Xinjun sighed, and he suddenly thought of his parents in real life. Counting the days, he hadn’t seen them for more than a year (after losing his memory). He didn’t know if he could go back and see them again!
As he thought about it, Yin Xinjun himself burst into tears!
The four chatted for a while, and then a tall, thin man in a yellow uniform came in from the door, walking unsteadily.
"Xiaoyong, come and see who's here!" Jiang Hailiang ordered.
Yin Xinjun's eyes narrowed, and he immediately saw the five-color flag emblem and the rank of police lieutenant on the other party!
The tall and thin man looked at Sai Mulan and Tang Yantian, squinting his eyes and staring again and again, then slowly opened his eyes wide, revealing a surprised expression.
"Cousin? Cousin? Why are you here?"
He is Jiang Hailiang’s son, Jiang Yong, and also Sai Mulan’s cousin!
"Hello, cousin! How are you?" Sai Mulan greeted.
After that, he also pounced on Yin Xinjun.
Yin Xinjun hurriedly opened the suitcase he was carrying.
He took out a pair of gold earrings and a pair of gold bracelets!
First, he handed it to Jiang Hailiang.
"Uncle, here are some gifts we brought for you!"
Then, he took out a watch and a pair of gold bracelets and handed them to Jiang Yong.
"Cousin, this is just a little token of my appreciation, please don't despise it!"
This uncle and his family have been very concerned about Sai Mulan since she was a child. When Sai Mulan came back with her mother last time, she stayed with him for half a month!
Jiang Yong looked at Yin Xinjun, then at Sai Mulan.
"Cousin, is this my cousin's husband?"
Sai Mulan blushed and nodded.
Jiang Yong immediately came over and grabbed Yin Xinjun's hands.
"Hey, you guys are so polite. You're here, so why bring so many things?"
Without any hesitation, she put the jewelry and watch directly into her arms!
Jiang Yong turned around and poured a glass of cold water, then gulped it down.
"Hey, I drank too much with Colonel Kumagai again tonight! That guy is going to be transferred!"
When Yin Xinjun heard the name "Colonel Kumagai", his heart started pounding. He remembered that the enemy chief who attacked the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces on the banks of the Ussuri River was Colonel Ichiro Kumagai!
Before coming, Yin Xinjun looked at the map and was surprised to find that Sai Mulan's parents' home was in Sihe Village, only 2-3 miles away from Diaoling Town!
So there is no return of Datun here, it is all under the tight control of the Japanese!
Moreover, Sihe Village is very close to Sanjiang Village, where the eight women jumped into the river, less than 20 miles away!
Jiang Yong mentioned the Japanese, and suddenly he seemed to remember something. He looked at Sai Mulan and asked in a panic,
"Cousin, are my uncle and his men still fighting the Japanese?"
This uncle is Sai Mulan’s father!
"My father is gone!" Sai Mulan lowered her head sadly!
"gone?"
"Yes, he was beaten to death by the Japanese!"
Jiang Yong lowered his head in embarrassment and remained silent.
Jiang Hailiang said with a wry smile,
"Hey, Xiaoyong is the chief of the police station in this town, and we are the traitors your father is talking about!"
Sai Mulan didn't feel anything when he heard this, but Yin Xinjun's eyes lit up and he said,
"Alas, in this chaotic world of murder, who wouldn't want to live a good life?"
Jiang Yong looked at Yin Xinjun gratefully.
"Brother-in-law, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. We'll have a drink tomorrow and have a good chat!"
At night, lying on the big bed in the backyard guest room,
Yin Xinjun looked at Sai Mulan who was sleeping soundly beside him, and his brain started working rapidly!
Ichiro Kumagai was the commander of the punitive force. It was that night that he gathered more than a thousand Japanese and puppet police and special agents in the area to besiege the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces that were about to cross the river!
Now, this person is going to be transferred, and it is estimated that the punitive team will be transferred to Weihe. The Japanese have suffered a great loss there, and they will definitely continue to mobilize reinforcements to reinforce!
If we calculate this way, there are two possibilities. One is that when the women's group crossed the river, Kumagai Ichiro might have left and was no longer in danger! The second is that if they crossed the river in just two days, tragedy would still happen!
In any case, I have to have a good chat with Jiang Yong tomorrow!
Waizuizigou,
Under a big tree, a row of female soldiers were lying. Most of the baggage of the women's regiment had been lost, and the soldiers had no choice but to camp in the open air!
Wang Huimin leaned on Mei Ping's shoulder with a happy smile on his face.
"Sister Mei, you know what? This is almost my house!"
"Almost at your house?"
"Yes, my home is in Sihe Village, Diaoling Town, ahead. There is a river in front called Wusihun River. Wusihun means fierce in Manchu. After crossing the river, it is not far from my home!"
"Ushun River?"
"Well, Sister Mei, when we get to the river, I'll catch some fish for you. My dad used to take me fishing in the river when I was little!"
Guan Shufan paced back and forth anxiously.
After a while, the two soldiers came back.
"Report to the division commander, after passing through the forest ahead, we will reach the Ushun River. However, the current is very strong now, so we may not be able to cross the river!"
"Is there a boat?"
"No, the Japanese have taken control of all the ships!"
"Staff Officer Jin, you are a good swimmer. Go do some reconnaissance tomorrow night to see if you can cross the river on foot!"
"Yes, Commander!"
