Chapter 250 The Road Home Is Difficult
With the help of Goutui, the three compatriots simply washed up, ate something, took some medicine, and recovered a lot.
The sky was already turning pale. A night had passed. Seeing that they were in good spirits, Tu Shan sat down cross-legged beside them and said, "Tell me about your team. I need to know the number of people, their basic information, and what happened that night."
The three of them did not completely trust Tu Shan and hesitated, not knowing whether they should tell her.
Tu Shan understood that to get to where they are now, they must have gone through many conspiracies, betrayals, inducements, and all kinds of dark things. Yet, they were still able to maintain their original patriotism and return to their country thanks to their strong will. Otherwise, they would have gone crazy or turned into demons.
"Then let me tell you what I know. There are a total of 28 people in the known returning group. But everyone has been abroad for so many years, and more or less they have descendants and friends. Some of them want to return to China, so they joined this group.
However, it was not written on the list, and the organization only found out after the rescue team arrived.
And the purpose of your doing this is to protect two people."
The three of them didn't react much. It was obvious that everyone knew about this, even the people who intercepted them along the way.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have spared no effort to intercept it.
“I don’t ask who that person is, and there’s no need to ask, so the total number should be forty-two.
The sudden increase in personnel brought great difficulties to the rescue team, but the rescue team leader Ling Yang is very strong, so it is not a problem."
"Do you know Ling Yang?" The three were a little surprised. Few people knew the names of the rescue team members, and they all used code names to the outside world.
The returning group would know this because Chu Miaoling always called Ling Yang "Brother Ling", "Big Brother Ling", "Brother Ling" and so on in a sticky way.
As if to assert her sovereignty, no matter how Captain Ling reminded her, she would not change.
The others also listened silently.
Tu Shan grinned: "What's so surprising about this? I've already said that I'm one of you, and Ling Yang is my man."
"Impossible." The only little girl among the three retorted hurriedly.
Although the other two did not say anything, they agreed with the little girl's rebuttal and stared at Tu Shan, waiting for her to explain.
Tu Shan chuckled: "Are you so sure? How did you come to that conclusion?"
Chi Xuanxuan's eyes were full of vigilance: "Our captain is a very cold person. He doesn't speak politely to anyone, but he is very special to Doctor Chu. We can all see that there is something special between them.
If you are the captain's wife, a man like him cannot be special to other women, so you are lying.
who are you? "
Tu Shan slowly stopped smiling. Yes, Ling Yang was indeed very cold, cold to everyone.
But she didn't know that there was another woman who he treated specially.
"Doctor Chu?" Tu Shan knew that Chu Miaoling was the daughter of the reclusive old man of the Chu family, the younger sister of Doctor Chu, a talented girl who was said to be only 25 years old but had made many achievements in medicine.
This time the rescue team needed a doctor to accompany them. Chu Miaoling signed up and after verification and confirmation, she followed the rescue team to pick up the returning group.
The information was given to her by the old man, but he did not tell her that Chu Miaoling and Ling Yang had a personal relationship.
Tu Shan gathered her thoughts and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. I'll continue.
If Ling Yang leads the team, although the process will be a bit difficult, he will definitely be able to bring everyone back home safely.
The reason why we have to ask the organization for help and are forced into a no-man's land is either because someone is dragging their feet or there is a traitor."
The three of them were silent, both of them.
Although this group of returnees were also dragging their feet, none of them were as much of a drag as Chu Miaoling. It seemed like she was either here to help or to drag things down. There were all kinds of situations along the way, hurting both herself and others, which was extremely annoying.
And there must be traitors, otherwise the enemy would not be able to find them accurately every time.
If Ling Yang wasn't so powerful, they wouldn't have been able to reach the no-man's-land.
But no one knew who the traitor was, so they kept the identities of Professor Jiang and his wife secret even more strictly and were determined not to reveal them. Even within the returning group, not many people knew about it.
If someone hadn't leaked the information, most people wouldn't even know that Professor Jiang and his wife were in their team.
Tu Shan: "So, in addition to the three of you and the compatriot who has been killed, there are theoretically 38 people, plus the eight people from Ling Yang's team, a total of 46 people. I don't know if anyone else is missing or dead before this.
Only if I know the exact number of people can I find everyone more quickly and accurately and leave here as soon as possible."
Chi Xuanxuan's eyes suddenly turned red, she covered her face with her hands and choked with tears: "It's my grandfather, the man who died is my grandfather, he died to save me.
He wanted to return home so much. All he missed were the mountains and rivers of his country and his relatives whom he had not seen for a long time. No matter how difficult or hard it was, he kept persisting. He said he wanted to go home.
We are almost home, we will be able to go home soon, but grandpa will never go back.
It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault…”
The old man sighed and said, "It's fate, child. Your grandfather can't go back. You have to go back alive and take care of our home on your grandfather's behalf.
Old Chi's life's work still needs your help to complete, so cheer up."
Chi Xuanxuan threw herself into the old man's arms and burst into tears: "Grandpa Fang, my grandfather is gone. I don't have a grandfather anymore. He will never come back."
The little girl was only twenty years old. She grew up with her grandfather and listened to him talk about their country and those lovely people. Although she had no memory of it, she was yearning for it.
Everyone discussed returning home, but her parents and brothers were against it. However, her grandfather insisted, and she also wanted to go back and take a look. So, with a passion in her heart, she and her grandfather set out on the journey home.
But the journey was difficult, and the anticipation of returning home became weak, and my heart was filled with confusion and fear about the future.
What should she do now that her grandfather is gone?
She had been enduring it for the past two days, watching her grandfather fall down without shedding a tear, but now she couldn't hold it back any longer.
Tears flowed out like a flood, and I cried heartbreakingly.
Several people felt uncomfortable.
Tu Shan said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will bring everyone back, including your grandfather."
Chi Xuanxuan cried uncontrollably, her heart filled with grief.
Tu Shan couldn't bear it: "If you want to see your grandfather, I can take you there."
Chi Xuanxuan paused in her tears and asked, "See my grandpa? Where is he?"
Fang Xiaoguo also looked hopeful: "Brother Chi, is he... okay?"
They all knew that the person was dead, but the body might not be preserved.
When they were arrested, I heard everyone talking about how the corpses of those left without care would not be much better off than those of the living, and might even be worse off.
"The old man is very good. If you want to see it, you can come together. It's not far."
Chi Xuanxuan tightly grabbed Tu Shan's hand and said, "Yes, yes, please take us there. Thank you."
Tu Shan packed up the three people and carried them to the edge of the cliff, where she pulled up the coffin hanging on the cliff.
Seeing that the three of them were in a state of flood, Tu Shan quickly walked away.
The mournful crying lasted for a full half hour before it subsided.
Chi Xuanxuan came over with red eyes and a hoarse voice: "Thank you, third sister. If it weren't for you, my grandfather..." As she spoke, the little girl wanted to cry again.
"You're welcome. Just watch. I'll hang the old man up again and take him with me when I get back."
Chi Xuanxuan held back her tears and nodded: "Okay, thank you, sorry for the trouble."
After this incident, the three of them trusted Tu Shan more. At least they understood that the enemy would not treat the bodies of their compatriots well, so Tu Shan would not be an enemy.
The four of them stood on the edge of the cliff and talked. The three of them tried their best to tell Tu Shan what she wanted to know.
