The weather in Kunming seems to be the same in any season of the year, warm and humid.
It had just rained early this morning, but the morning sun immediately revived the whole city with a layer of vitality. This is a seemingly laid-back city. Unlike foreign countries, pedestrians on the street will not rush back and forth. Apart from cars, there are also some tricycles on which pots of flowers are piled up and sold back and forth.
I came to Kunming, Yunnan Province last night. After Uncle Qi passed away a few days ago, I did not explain to anyone, but immediately asked Bao Yazhou to apply for a visa and air ticket for me. After sparking Qishu's body, I announced that I would personally send Qishu's ashes back to China.
In the group that came back this time, I brought Hammer, Xi Luo, and Buck Tooth Zhou, and Yan Di must also follow. I thought about it, anyway, this time I am coming back in secret, and it is only to deal with Uncle Qi's funeral, and will not have any contact with domestic organizations... Besides, I am safe as long as Ye Huan does not reveal my identity .
And will Ye Huan expose my identity? of course not! Because once people know that I am not dead, he will be the first to suffer. What's more, when I come back, only insiders know, and others don't.
Just before we left, there was one more person in our ranks.
Lei Xiaohu.
The eldest brother's son has been abroad for many years, and he wanted to go back to China for a long time, but he never had the chance. This time the big brother also knows that we are not doing "illegal gang activities" when we go back, but purely to handle funeral affairs for an elder, so we are very relieved to let Xiaohu come back with us. Taking this opportunity, we can let him return to himself look at the motherland.
After returning, I encountered a little difficulty. Because Uncle Qi only told me roughly that the village he lived in was in Yunnan. And he only vaguely mentioned the name of a village... but I don't know the exact location of this village.
In a province as large as Yunnan, finding a village is not difficult, but it is not that simple.
Not to mention anything else, it’s just the name of the village that Uncle Qi told me before he was alive. We probably checked it out, and there are 19 villages in Yunnan Province with this name!
The name "Xiaowanggou", as the name suggests, is located in a small mountain village with a river ditch beside it. From the word "Xiaowang", it seems that the origin of this village is probably because most of the people who live there are clansmen surnamed Wang. Shi.
I don't have any other information.
A total of nineteen villages are called Xiaowanggou, which gave us a bit of a headache. Moreover, Bao Yazhou is a legal expert, and he proposed to start searching from the information of Uncle Qi in China before his death. Because Uncle Qi was born in China and lived for many years, there must be his files in China, even when he went to the countryside, served in the army, joined the army, and retired, there should be records to check.
But all of this starts from his hometown.
This is another problem.
Because everyone knows that China’s society began to develop vigorously after the reform and opening up... In foreign countries, it is very easy for you to look up a person. You can find a government department, just enter a computer, name, or a social security number, and you can immediately Bring up all files.
But in China, even in those big cities, the computerization of citizen data is only a few years old. And in Uncle Seven's time, where was there a computer archive? At that time, all the information was recorded on paper!
After so many years, it is really difficult to find a person from the government department who was decades ago. Seventh Uncle's name? Zhang Jianhua.
There are not 80 million or 50 million people in China with the surname Zhang. And the one with the name "Jianhua" is even more of a headache... Uncle Seven's generation, most of the male names were named "Jianhua", "Jianguo" and "Jianjun".
many! Too many! !
birth certificate? No! At that time, the medical system was underdeveloped, even if there was one, Uncle Qi didn’t keep it for me.
Moreover, it is really laborious to check it!
How efficient are those administrative agencies and departments when they do things... Hmph, everyone on earth knows! A slow word, a slow word, almost brought into full play!
You want to check someone? Oh, okay, you are not qualified to check, first go to the Public Security Bureau to issue a certificate, you personally have no right to check the files of other citizens. The Public Security Bureau said, why do you want to investigate this person? oh? Overseas Chinese? That's out of our control, you go to the Overseas Chinese Office...
This is how things are done here. If you want to investigate a matter, you must first obtain a permit, and you have to go through more than a dozen departments to issue more than a dozen letters of introduction and cover more than a dozen chapters... and then wait for you to check with these issued certificates. Sometimes, you will often find that the other party suddenly tells you that this is not under the management of their department, and all the things you did before are in vain...
In the end, I became anxious, so I asked Canada to issue a document, and gave the six of us the title of an investment inspection team of a company. Then go directly to the local investment promotion office, reveal the identity of overseas Chinese, and express that we want to invest locally...
In an instant, the attitude changed!
A 180 degree turn!
Those eyes-rolling and impatient attitudes were gone, replaced by a warm and thoughtful reception, and special dispatched personnel accompanied us to other departments, and other departments that were notified also cooperated vigorously.
We started our research from Uncle Qi’s hometown, and found that the files of the group of people he went to the countryside back then should all be in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province. Only then did our group come to this city that is said to be like spring all year round.
However, I was really impatient to deal with those officials, so I left all these matters to Barrister Bao Ya Zhou to deal with, and I took Yan Di out for shopping.
Looking at these yellow-skinned and black-haired people on the street, my mood is very happy! After all, this is China.
There are no white people everywhere, no "YES OR NO", "HELLO" and "BYEBYE" all day long.
Although I also can't understand the local Yunnan dialect, it sounds kind!
Compared to my comfort, what Lei Xiaohu showed was full of enthusiasm and curiosity! He seemed so curious and interested in everything!
Kunming is the capital of flowers, and the flowers here are rich in flowers, which are famous all over the country. Along the way, Lei Xiaohu almost emptied his pockets, bought countless flowers and held them in his hand, and the roadside snacks, just boiled corn, he ate four.
After asking for directions, we came all the way to the largest flower market in Kunming. Without a doubt, Yan Di is the most excited.
Girls naturally like these beautiful flowers, especially when they come here, it is almost like a huge farmers market, with countless stalls densely packed, all of which are full of blooming flowers! ! The smell is intoxicating, the beauty smiles like a jade, watching Yan Di happily jumping back and forth among the bunches of flowers, I can't help but relax the brows that have been knit together for many days.
Unlike Lei Xiaohu who wasted money randomly, although Yan Di loved the bunches of flowers to death, she rejected my proposal to buy them with money. Instead, she carefully selected a few packets of flower seeds, and asked the flower growers carefully. Clarified the various details of planting.
"Xiao Wu, you said that after we go back, we will plant them in the yard of our house, okay?" Yan Di held a few packets of seeds, with a charming and excited smile on his face, and his cheeks were flushed: "Grow some flowers at home, When there is life, it is like a home."
I looked at Yan Di's smiling face, smiled slightly, and gave her a light hug.
Although Hammer and Xi Luo were not interested in flowers, they were quite interested in the small domestic cosmetics sold next to them. After all, Kunming is also a tourist city, and the flower market here is also visited by many foreign tourists. Many shops will sell some decorations such as Chinese festivals to earn money from foreigners.
After all, there is no pressure on this trip, it is almost the same as traveling. Hammer and Xi Luo didn't have much vigilance, so they relaxed a lot. After a while, everyone got separated in the flower market.
I put my arms around Yan Di's waist, walked and watched in the crowd, whispering something to Yan Di from time to time...
Suddenly, I felt that someone in the crowd around me lightly touched the pocket next to me... Being experienced, I immediately understood what happened!
Hey! It's true that some people feel that Tai Sui's head is breaking ground!
I sneered, and quickly grabbed a thin wrist!
The other party seemed to be struggling, I pulled and pulled lightly, and heard an "ouch", a figure was pulled out by me and fell to the ground.
This is a half-sized boy, thin, with some stains on his face, he looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a dirty coat, short hair, bright eyes, but with a few Very cunning.
He fell to the ground, with pain on his face... Hmph, I pinched it with my fingers, and the circle around his wrist suddenly turned black and blue!
This kid wanted to take out my wallet just now, but I threw it on the ground before he could get it. At this moment, everyone around him looked at him, but he suddenly jumped up from the ground, lifting his wrist that was pinched blue by me, Then chirp quack quack said something to me, those black eyes rolled around, very cunning.
He spoke the local dialect, which I couldn't understand, but he looked confident. I smiled and took a step closer. He seemed to want to hide, but in front of me, how could a pickpocket have room to dodge? I had grabbed one of his wrists again, squeezed it lightly, smiled faintly, and asked in standard Mandarin: "What did you say? Could you please say it again?"
"Oh...it hurts! It hurts..." I pinched this kid's wrist, and his voice trembled from the pain. I added a little more strength to my hand, and he immediately softened. At the same time, he still said loudly: "Why did you hit someone for no reason! Oh, let go..."
At this moment, two young men ran out of the crowd next to each other. At first glance, they looked like nothing good. One of them probably believed that we were foreigners. Seeing that I was alone, he couldn't help but harden up. , cursed loudly: "Damn, why are you hitting my friend!"
After speaking, the two people approached me, and I clearly saw that one of them still had a blade in his thumb... Obviously, it was a tool used by pickpockets to scratch people's purses and steal things.
I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to this kind of person. I watched the two people rushing towards me coldly, and I didn't say a word. Where were the two of them my opponents, they immediately groaned and collapsed clutching their stomachs.
But then, three or four guys ran out of the crowd again. Obviously, these guys were all in the same group. Looking for trouble, you don't want to live!"
I glanced around, and there were more and more people watching, but no one dared to say a word, most of them stood at a distance with blank faces, and some even held the attitude of watching the excitement, with A schadenfreude smile.
Damn, I feel a little upset. Hmph, a gang of thieves? I squeezed the wrist of the young man on the ground, and dislocated his arm with a slight twist. Then I protected Yan Di with one hand, looked at the guys around me, and sighed: "Fuck, what the hell? Not my own place, even these rotten fish and shrimp dare to challenge me."
At this moment, Hammer and the others finally came running over. Seeing me surrounded by people, Hammer was the first to yell and rushed up. Before the man who scolded me could react, Hammer kicked me from behind When he touched his waist and eyes, the whole person flew out and directly hit the crowd.
Where I stood, I glanced at the hammer: "Quickly solve it, don't hit too hard."
Hammer looked excited, and laughed loudly: "You are not allowed to rob me!" He said this to Xi Luo and Lei Xiaohu. After speaking, this guy laughed and rushed towards the remaining three men...
quick!
It's just three or five face-to-face kung fu, the hammer kung fu is not much better. It’s definitely not enough to deal with my big brother, and I’m just looking for death, and I can barely fight with Xi Luo... But to deal with this kind of roadside gangster... Well, today’s weather, hahaha...
The last gangster even pulled out the dagger with a frightened face, but was kicked in the crotch by the hammer instead, and knelt on the ground and shrank into a ball on the spot.
Seeing that our group of people were so fierce, we beat up this gang of thieves in a few strokes, and the surrounding crowd couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
And finally, just as we were about to leave, there were noisy voices from outside, and then a few people in uniforms and big caps came in... They are not police, they are just joint defense, with armbands, but the uniforms are They were all dressed crookedly, and a few of them had ugly faces.
"What are you doing! Who is making trouble here!" The leader came in yelling. He didn't wear a hat, but he had a baton around his waist. He looked very imposing. He squinted at me: "You guys What are you doing! What are so many people doing here!"
As for me, I noticed that among the thieves and pickpockets who fell on the ground, some of them immediately cheered up and showed a smug look on their faces.
Sure enough, when he saw a few people lying down on the ground, the defense leader suddenly lowered his face, looked at me, and said viciously: "You guys are gathering people here to fight, aren't you!! You are not allowed to leave, go back with me and explain the problem clearly !"
With a whoosh, a dozen defenses behind him blocked our way.
