Break out of the courtyard

On the evening of January 1, Zhang Heping found his father-in-law Tang Ming and his mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng again.

"Now, since it won't cause him any trouble, will you go to Hong Kong Island?"

Tang Ming still had concerns about Zhang Heping's question, fearing that the enemy had set him up.

After all, his life and fortune were at stake, and there was no room for him to be careless.

Zhang Heping opened a small white cloth bag, took out a stack of photos of Tang Xin and the children, and said calmly: "With him gone, there is no room for change in many things. If I come here again, my family and I will be in danger!" "

"Who is this woman?" Xu Jiefeng asked, pointing to Chen Shuting in the photo.

Zhang Heping was embarrassed for a moment, then said with emotion: "The fourth child of your family hired her husband as a little wife. She said that her eldest sister-in-law and her second sister-in-law can both put together a mahjong table, but she doesn't have any sisters."

Tang Ming picked up the photo, looked at Tang Xin, the six children, and the extra Chen Shuting, and then frowned at Zhang Heping, who was wearing a mask.

"My Xinxin is not that stupid. That little wife must have been recruited by her lustful husband." Mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng looked at Zhang Heping with slight dissatisfaction.

Zhang Heping stopped talking, feeling that he had just explained a little more.

After the two old men looked at the photos for a while, Zhang Heping put the photos away and arranged them in a cross shape on the table. "Have you thought about it? There will be a memorial service tomorrow, and tonight is the best chance to leave."

Seeing the cross on the table, Tang Ming and Xu Jiefeng looked at each other.

Father-in-law Tang Ming thought for a while and saw Zhang Heping put the photo into his white cloth pocket. Then he asked: "I heard that the southern border is very strict. How do you plan to take us there?"

"Go through Ao Island! The Portuguese troops there have withdrawn, and the border is undefended." Zhang Heping explained casually.

"Didn't it mean that Hong Kong Island implemented a resistance policy, which caused many people to flee Hong Kong?" Tang Minghu asked: "Since we can go to Hong Kong Island from Ao Island, won't other people go from Ao Island? How can they not? Fortified?"

"Mainland residents who smuggle themselves from Ao Island to Hong Kong Island will be repatriated and will not enjoy the barrier policy. When we arrive at Ao Island, we will call the bodyguards to come pick you up with your documents." Zhang Heping said and glanced at the people in the room. The little alarm clock frowned and asked:

"The train is about to leave, make a decision quickly! Do you still want to go back to prison?"

The word "prison" suddenly touched the two of them. Xu Jiefeng's trembling right hand grabbed the hem of Tang Ming's black work clothes, with a look of fear in her eyes.

She had had enough of being there, being watched 24 hours a day.

Tang Ming glanced at his wife Xu Jiefeng and said solemnly, "I'll go clean it up."

"No need!" Zhang Heping stood up and put the bag into his Magic City luggage bag, "Just follow me."

……

The next evening, when the Zhu family who entered the hospital for the second time were having dinner, they suddenly mentioned that the old couple of the Tang family who had entered the hospital for the first time had been silent all day.

"Could it be gas poisoning?"

As soon as this guess came out, several people quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and went to the front yard.

However, when they pushed open the wooden door blocked by a bench, they found that the room was empty.

"What about people?"

"Will you escape?"

"The clothes in the closet are still there. I should have gone to the memorial service!"

……

January 1976, 1, Friday at 16pm.

Zhang Heping, who was wearing a white shirt and green military trousers, got off the green leather train with a luggage bag in one hand and supporting his mother-in-law Xu Jiefeng in a gray tunic suit with the other.

"How's it going? Come on!" Zhang Heping said with a smile: "This 15th express train usually takes four or five days when there are too many people and is overloaded. This time it only took two days and two nights."

Tang Ming, who was also wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit, looked back at the train bound for Huadu from the capital, then followed Zhang Heping out of the station with his hands behind his back.

"Let's rest one night first. We will take a boat to Qianshan tomorrow morning, and then we can find a boat to go to Ao Island." Zhang Heping led the way and took the two old people to a small hotel near the station.

The next day, the three of them took a boat to go south. It wasn't until Tang Ming stood on the pier of Ao Island that he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of most of the vigilance he had brought along the way.

In his opinion, even if the enemy wanted to harm them, they would not be able to send people all the way to Ao Island.

A porter came over to take a look, and while waving to the others, he greeted Zhang Heping, "You're here again, where are you from?"

Zhang Heping smiled and said: "The land under our feet belongs to our country, which side do you think I belong to?"

After speaking, Zhang Heping took his father-in-law and mother-in-law to the nearby second-floor apartment he bought.

Zhang Heping changed into a gray wide suit. Under the surprised gazes of the two old men, he took out two pistols, disassembled them, and reassembled them.

Then, I saw him inserting one into his lower back and handing the other to Tang Ming, "There's a bit of chaos here. You take it for self-defense first. I'll go downstairs to make a call and buy some food by the way."

Ao Island has been really chaotic recently. When fighting for territory at night, gangsters even used AKs.

However, it was fine during the day, and Zhang Heping didn't go too far, so he didn't encounter any trouble.

Two and a half hours later, there was a knock on the apartment door.

"Who?"

Zhang Heping leaned against the bedroom door and cautiously asked in the direction of the door.

"Uncle, I am Ahu!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Heping opened the door with his pistol, completely unaware of the strange eye contact between the two old men in the bedroom.

"Brother Hu, didn't you go with the cargo ship recently?"

"I just came back this morning." As he spoke, a middle-aged man who was about the same height as Zhang Heping but taller but taller walked in.

"Uncle!" Three bodyguards outside the door greeted Zhang Heping.

Zhang Heping nodded to the three bodyguards, then took the black luggage bag that Ahu brought and took him to the bedroom.

"Old Master!" Ahu walked up to Tang Ming, stood at attention and gave a military salute to an unknown army.

"Uncle?" Xu Jiefeng looked at Zhang Heping with a smile on her face, "Who would take such a big risk to save us? It turned out to be our uncle. Which house are you from? What is your real name?"

Zhang Heping had concealed his identity for nearly two years. For a moment, he was a little embarrassed to explain, so he just took out his clothes and two documents from his luggage bag.

Seeing Tang Ming's confused look, Ah Hu next to him smiled and said, "Old lady, he is the fourth uncle of your room."

"Ahem..." Zhang Heping coughed awkwardly, "Well, you change your clothes first and then go home!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heping patted the talkative Ah Hu and removed his right arm.

I saw Ah Hu holding his right arm with his left hand. When he raised his left hand, his right shoulder collapsed and he took his right arm back.

"Uncle, do you think I'm doing well with my muscle-splitting and bone-splitting hand?"

"At your snail's pace, I can hit ten with one hand!"

"Uncle, Brother Hu is bragging to us, saying that you are no longer his opponent!"

"Oops! Brother Tiger, why did you fall to the ground? I'm here to help you up. You can't move your hands and feet. Tsk tsk... Do you still dare to brag in the future?"

In the bedroom, Xu Jiefeng changed into a dark blue short-sleeved cheongsam while listening to the commotion outside.

"Xinxin is 33 years old this year." Xu Jiefeng looked at her husband Tang Ming and said slightly worriedly: "This uncle is too young."

Xu Jiefeng's worries are not unreasonable. The main reason is that Zhang Heping is 26 years old, but he looks like he is or years old. No wonder Tang Xin and Chen Shuting are so fascinated by him.

"Let's talk about it when we get home!"
