At three o 'clock in the morning, Fujun Town was very quiet. Every household had already turned off their lights and gone to bed. Everyone in the town was fast asleep. Other than the Chinese rural dog who knew that strangers had entered the town, no one else knew.
The four of them were not from Fujun Town and did not know much about the situation in the town. Although the middle-aged man was leading the way, he was not familiar with the place either.
It had been a long time since he last came to Fujun Town. Moreover, he had only taken a stroll around the dilapidated and poor town at that time. He did not go to Hong Mei's house. He recalled everything that he could recall, but these people obviously did not believe him. He had no choice but to cooperate.
"Let's go. Let's go to the recruit reception area first. You can think of other useful clues."
"Okay, I'll think about it. Let's see if we can walk this way. Back then, I went down from the supply and demand cooperative and then went up the field ladder … "
The middle-aged man leading the way said as he led the way down the supply and demand cooperative. It was a narrow path that could only fit one person. The path was filled with weeds on both sides.
On a summer night, frogs croaked. Their legs swept across the weeds, startling the frogs hiding in the grass. They jumped away one by one. There were also non-venomous water snakes hiding in the grass. If one was unlucky, one might be bitten by a water snake.
The four of them did not turn on their flashlights. They moved forward in the dark, stepping on the moonlight and listening to the barks as they walked toward the recruit reception area.
After so many years, the town had changed its appearance. Even the farmland had changed its appearance. Under the moonlight, the man who led the way racked his brain to recall the past. After taking several wrong turns, he finally found the recruit reception center.
So what if they found the recruit reception center?
He still couldn't find a peach forest, nor could he find out where Hong Mei lived.
They had gone to every village in Fujun Town that had the word "Hongmei" in it. There was no peach forest. It was not until they found the middle-aged man leading the way two days ago that they found out that "Hongmei" was not a real name but a code name.
When the old man found out that "Hongmei" was just a code name, he was so angry that he coughed.
In other words, all the time they spent before was in vain. "Hongmei" was not a real name. Even if they searched all the "Hongmei" in the neighboring towns, they would not find the person the old man was looking for.
They immediately changed the direction of the investigation. They no longer just looked for names. Instead, they looked for female soldiers in Fujun Town 16 years ago and how many female soldiers were buried in the martyrs' cemetery during that time period.
This time, they didn't come to Fujun Town to look for names or people. They split into two groups. One group entered Fujun Town again, and the other went to Anyang City and Nan Province to look for clues.
According to the reliable information of the man who led the way, Red Plum Blossom was conferred the title of a martyr when she was sacrificed. The prime minister personally covered her body with the national flag and sent her back to her hometown for burial. As for whether she was buried in the martyrs' cemetery, it needed to be carefully investigated.
Tonight's exploration of Fujun Town was destined to be fruitless. The middle-aged man who led the way did not find "Hong Mei's" hometown. Firstly, too much time had passed. Secondly, he had never been to Hong Mei's house. He had only gone through the motions. How could he find her?
At five o 'clock in the morning, the four of them who didn't find anything found a restaurant in town where truck drivers could rest. They went to bed without washing up and specifically told the restaurant staff not to disturb them.
When the first ray of sunlight illuminated Fujun Town in the early morning, the residents of the town started their busy day. The hawkers in the market placed all kinds of fresh and tender vegetables on the table, waiting for customers to visit. The night had already passed, and a new day had arrived with the bright sun.
The strangers who arrived at Fujun Town that night also started to ask around.
