Chapter 54
"Hold these, don't let outsiders see them, don't talk nonsense. I'm doing your own good, do you understand?" The other party looked at the bag with Japanese print, and his eyes were full of complexity when he looked at Huang Chao. Of course, Huang Chao knew what the other party was thinking, but he was simply a suspect that he was a Japanese lackey.
Huang Chao shook his head gently, smiled, and then whispered: "Just pretend nothing happened, don't let the Japanese see this thing." The other party suddenly understood something, showed a nervous look, looked around carefully, stuffed the cloth bag tightly into his arms, and left with his head down.
At this time, there was also a resistance organization behind enemy lines in Foshan. The passerby realized that Huang Chao might be one of them, so he quickly took the thing and left.
He came to the spinning mill. Zhou Qingquan was about to go out when Huang Chao saw him wearing a suit and familiar round-framed glasses, hurriedly coming out of the factory gate.
As soon as Zhou Qingquan left the door, he saw Huang Chao standing at the door. After not seeing him for a year, Huang Chao's appearance had not changed, but his face became even colder and harder. At this time, Zhou Qingquan was very happy to see an acquaintance: "A Chao, are you back?"
"Qin, Brother Quan." Huang Chao felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He finally met someone he knew. He suddenly remembered that since he was involved in the Battle of Songhu in August last year, he had been alone and silently for a year.
Except for buying food at the beginning, he never talked to anyone. Later, he completely snatched supplies from small Japanese troops, and there was no chance to speak. What he saw every day was the sea and the sky, and later all kinds of shocking tragedies were added.
"I'm finally back, even if I have the meditation to eliminate negative emotions, such a silent battle will almost overwhelm my spirit."
Zhou Qingquan approached Huang Chao and asked in a low voice: "Why are you back? The situation is tense now, and you are not with Ling Zun? Foshan is like this now, and you can no longer learn martial arts reads;."
Zhou Qingquan also heard Ye Wen talk about what Huang Chao might have participated in the war. At this time, he saw Huang Chao's vicissitudes of appearance and cold temperament, and even more suspected that Huang Chao was a soldier and had special tasks when he came back.
But he couldn't ask questions rashly for such things. So he had to ask a few questions. If Huang Chao had other reasons, he would take it as true and would never talk about his guesses.
Zhou Qingquan's cautious appearance made Huang Chao feel quite funny. He is also a loyal person. Although his views on prices are a bit weird, he is definitely Ip Man's friend. In the end, in order to cover Ip Man, he was shot in the head.
Huang Chao squeezed out a smile and felt a little stiff on his face. He cleared his throat so that he could speak in a normal voice: "Ha, Brother Quan. I'm just coming back to see you, nothing else."
Huang Chao was indeed lying. He came back just to participate in the last plot, and then returned to his original world when the energy of time and space is full. The battle over the past year has exhausted him both physically and mentally.
This reason is too false, and Zhou Qingquan also saw that Huang Chao was perfunctory, which deepened his own idea: Huang Chao must be here to perform the mission.
"I know some people, and they are also opposing it now," Zhou Qingquan signaled the sun flag on the street with his eyes, without saying the specific content. "If you want to help, I can contact them."
Huang Chao fell into deep thought, making Zhou Qingquan feel that his guess was becoming more and more accurate. After a long time, Huang Chao said, "I won't talk about this in advance. Brother Quan, do you know where you are?"
"Ah, I'm going to find him, let's go together. But Ah Chao, don't pull Ah, you have to work together. His wife and children are pointing at him alone."
Huang Chao just smiled when he heard this. None of the soldiers and civilians who resisted the Japanese army jumped out of the stone. Who has no relatives? They fight for the country with all their passion and die without any concern.
Ip Man is actually a patriotic person. It is said that after Ip Man fought with Japanese soldiers, he and his family escaped from Foshan, and then joined the secret agent organization, and carried out secret work. All movies only show what Ip Man had before 1938 and after 1950. During this period, did Ip Man disappear? However, Huang Chao estimated that the children of the big family of Ip Man were probably still in the agents after the Anti-Japanese War, and then hehe, so he was taken to Hong Kong and never came back...
On the way, Zhou Qingquan said in a brief remark: "Thanks to your persuasion, I have at least saved some capital. The Hong Kong store you handed over to me to manage is also operating normally. I have been persuading Awen to leave Foshan, but he feels that leaving is to escape from his hometown."
"Brother Quan, why are you still opening a factory here? I think your factory is very dilapidated, and it doesn't have any benefits."
"Oh, I'm from Foshan too. If the factory doesn't start working, the workers will have no food to eat. How can I escape by myself? These damn..." A team of Japanese soldiers came towards me. Zhou Qingquan looked at the Japanese soldiers and cursed quietly, and pulled Huang Chao to the side of the road.
"Look down and don't look at them. Achao, you are not ordinary people at first glance, don't let them notice you."
As long as Huang Chao exerts his mind, he can kill this team of Japanese troops in an instant. However, there are so many Japanese troops in the city, so he can only affect Zhou Qingquan and the spinning mill. Huang Chao can only follow Zhou Qingquan to make way on the street and listen to the sound of Japanese footsteps away.
Zhou Qingquan brought Huang Chao to a rice shop: "At the beginning of the war, refugees flocked to Foshan, and many wealthy families took over the porridge. Later, Japanese soldiers entered the city and plundered them. Most of the people in the city suffered, and no overnight food was available. Awen's life was also very difficult. Who would have thought that their mansion was robbed by Japanese soldiers to serve as a headquarters! After I came back, I found out that he had to come here to change rice every day."
"If you hadn't asked him to reserve some gold bars before, his family would have been out of food long ago. Alas, I have known him for so many years, and Awen is a very strong person and will never accept help from others."
Huang Chao and Zhou Qingquan walked into the queue and saw a thin figure wearing a black coat carrying a small bag of rice from the crowd.
"Ask brother reads;!"
Ip Man raised his head and saw Huang Chao and Zhou Qingquan, his frown brows slowly spread out, took a few breaths, and finally showed a smile. At this moment, it was one of the few happy things to be able to reunite with his old friend before.
When they returned to the spinning factory, Zhou Qingquan introduced the situation of the factory to Ip Man. On the grounds that the two had previously joined forces, they wanted to ask Ip Man to work in the factory, but in fact they just wanted to find an excuse to help him, but Ip Man refused.
Zhou Qingquan's son still looked dull and was wearing a light-colored sweater, which looked quite fashionable. When he saw Ip Man and Huang Chao, he trotted over happily: "Uncle Ask, Uncle Huang."
Huang Chao was very upset when he heard this. "Uncle Huang" seemed to make him coincide with a big ear thief. Could this faint sadness indicate something? But Zhou Guangyao finally called himself "Uncle" and no longer called himself "Brother Chao" like before. This seniority finally figured out.
The battle this year has made Huang Chao watch too many tragedies and a lot of vicissitudes of life. Zhou Guangyao feels that Huang Chao is not like the older brother before, and has become an uncle like his father.
Huang Chao said sincerely: "Ayao, long time no see, I am already an adult." Children will be very happy when they hear such words, and Zhou Guangyao is no exception.
He pulled Ye Wen and Huang Chao and said, "You guys come and help, it's great... If Uncle Wen takes everyone, everyone will be more energetic and can watch you play Wing Chun. Brother Chao, uh, Uncle Huang, you are also very awesome..."
This naughty child really doesn't know how to speak. Before I could speak, Ip Man labeled it as "come to help", which makes people unable to get out of Taiwan. He also played Wing Chun to show everyone that you think it was a performance by the workers' art team!
Later, Zhou Qingquan and his son kept Ip Man for dinner. Ip Man patted Zhou Guangyao's face and smiled: "I have something to do, let's go next time." In fact, Ip Man couldn't stay for dinner. You have to know that he came out to buy rice, and there was no rice at home to put it into the pot!
Huang Chao also said quickly: "Then, I'll leave too." He said goodbye to Zhou Qingquan and his son, chased him out and caught up with Ye Wen, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, it's been a long time since I saw you. My house has been blown into ruins, and I have to disturb you."
Ip Man's lips moved and a smile appeared on his face, but he was no longer as cheerful as he laughed out loud in the past: "Let's go, Achao, you have changed a lot this year. What have you been doing?"
"I've been fighting the Japanese all the time, from Shanghai to Nanjing, and there's nothing to say. Foshan fell and I'm tired of it, so I'll come back and take a look."
Ip Man's deep gaze swept across Huang Chao's face and quickly withdrew his gaze. Ip Man would not ask the bottom line of what Huang Chao had experienced and what purpose he had when he came back. He looked at the dilapidated street and said for a long time:
"I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, but now I have found that I can't do anything. Achao, I'm not as good as you."
After a while, they were approaching Ip Man's home. Ip Man was a little hesitant and did not want to invite Huang Chao to his home. Because the current situation was really difficult, Huang Chao saw his embarrassment and immediately said:
"I'll stop going to your house. Where can I buy food and eat nearby? I'll just go over and make do with it."
Huang Chao was kind, but Ip Man is a person who wants to save face. When Huang Chao said this, Ip Man gritted his teeth and said, "Achao, there are no restaurants outside. Come to my house and have a meal together."
Ip Man likes to invite people to dinner. Master Liao comes to find trouble, and Ip Man also wants to ask him to come and have dinner together. At this time, he met Huang Chao, and he was so embarrassed that he dared not treat him to dinner. Ip Man felt very uncomfortable. At this time, he said it out. Although he was very worried, he also felt relieved.
Huang Chao was secretly happy. If he wanted to help Ip Man, he would definitely not give anything directly; with Ip Man's self-esteem, he would never accept it. So he simply said, "If you want to give, you must take it first."
Huang Chao followed Ye Wen to his house. Like in the movie, he lived on a dilapidated two-story building. There was a stove downstairs, and Ye Zhun and a few children, holding branches as guns, "Push" and "Push" to fight each other.
When Ye Zhun saw them, he ran over and shouted: "Dad, Uncle Huang."
