Chapter 1 Homeland
....................................................................................
1935
London, England.
night!
Yan Wenchuan stood by the window and looked at the streets with neon lights flashing, and cars came and went on the bustling avenue.
Everything has been handled, and Yan Wenchuan will set off tomorrow to return to his country.
China.
He has been in the United States or in the United Kingdom for so many years, and he missed his hometown a little.
The most important thing is that he took on an important mission when he went back this time, but he was a little inexplicably afraid of everything.
"Yan, what are you thinking? We will set off to return to your country tomorrow. Are you so nervous that you can't sleep anymore?" William joked.
"Yes, you said it very well William. I am indeed a little excited, and you seem to be very excited."
"Hahaha! You must know that I finally got my family to get this opportunity. When I arrived at the Shanghai Consulate, I will definitely perform well and strive to be promoted to the Consul General as soon as possible," William laughed.
"William, you must take good care of me in the future. Don't think that I am Chinese, but I don't know much about China than you," said Yan Wenchuan.
"Yan, you don't need to say that we are buddies. I will take the initiative to help you if you have any questions."
"What's more, with your skills, I don't know who can defeat you, Yan, where did you buy your flying knife? I also want to order a few."
"William, this was picked up by the beach when I was eight years old. I don't know where to drift. I have been practicing for more than ten years. Even if you buy it, you won't be able to practice it soon."
"Hey! It's such a pity. I was so excited to kill in the Amazon forest last time. It would be great if the mercenaries were organizing them. I've become a master in boxing practice recently."
"Is that true? Or we two practice our hands."
"Oh! Oh my God! Forget it, I can't beat you."
"Okay, go to bed early, tomorrow will be a new day."
Um... Um... Um...
A passenger ship heading to the east was sailing on the blue sea, and gusts of sea breeze blew, causing countless huge waves.
Two men on the deck were lying there, blowing the sea breeze, basking in the sun, holding champagne in their hands.
"Yan, where do you plan to live when you return to China this time? I heard that China is very chaotic. You might as well follow me to the consulate, it is very safe there."
"I can't stay in Shanghai for the time being. I have to go back to my hometown in Nanjing first and bury my parents in my hometown."
"Then find an opportunity to study in the military academy for two years, and then join the army to fight. It's so passionate!" Yan Wenchuan said.
"I also want to join the army and fight, but China is not my country, and I am not allowed to participate in the war. It's a pity."
"Don't worry, there will be a chance in the future."
"look!"
"Shanghai!"
"We are going to dock soon, I'm so excited! I'm here in China." William shouted excitedly on the deck.
June 1935.
Yan Wenchuan returned to his motherland again and stepped on this solid land, as if awakening long-lasting memories.
Yan Wenchuan and William looked at this and that curiously all the way, like a local bun who had never seen the world.
"Yan, there are so many people in your country! It's really lively everywhere," William said.
"That's!"
"China has a long history, and time alone can crush many countries. Look at this thick land, full of the mark of the times, I believe you will fall in love with William of China."
"I hope so!"
"We'd better go to the embassy to report first," William said.
"OK"
The two of them walked and watched the road in rickshaws and arrived in front of the British Consulate on the Bund.
"It's so quiet and beautiful here. I found that I've fallen in love with it, Yan."
"Ha, your love is so sudden. Let's go and settle you first. Let's go out and have a good tour."
night!
The two of them walked slowly along the Huangpu River. The breeze blew across the river, and the waves were still full of charm at night.
"William, you are developing well here. If one day I return to Shanghai, I hope you can have a place in the consulate so that our brothers can make great efforts."
"Hahaha, don't worry, Yan, I will be in the martial arts hall for three years with my ability. If anyone dares not listen to me, I will kill him."
"Okay, you're pretty ruthless. If I send you money in the future, try to buy me a large yard near your embassy, so that I can have a safe place when I return to Shanghai."
"No problem, I will leave the best place for you. If anyone dares to rob me, I will take someone to kill him."
Yan Wenchuan rolled his eyes. This child was so violent.
The two were chatting and a group of people were chasing and killing several people.
"stop!"
"When we catch you, you are the ones who are good-looking, and you dare to go wild in our territory!" shouted the person chasing behind.
Yan Wenchuan and William looked at each other, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as they came back.
"Hahaha, Yan, look at mine and let them gangsters taste my fists," William rushed towards the gangsters.
Yan Wenchuan had no choice but to follow him, afraid that William would suffer a loss.
Several people were chased, three men and one woman. The man had straight waists and sharp eyes, looking like he was born as a soldier.
The woman was about forty years old, wearing a high-end cheongsam, which set off her better figure and looked quite identifiable. When she saw Yan Wenchuan and the others helping, she stopped.
William 185 is tall, burly, and usually practices boxing. He can beat several people with his body, and knock down two people with several standard boxing movements.
But he couldn't resist the number of people on the other side, so he rushed up and hit William in a swagger.
"Yan, come and save me. These hooligans are so ignorant of the rules. They actually beat me so many times."
Yan Wenchuan rolled his eyes when he saw him like that, then why would you rush up?
No more nonsense, I couldn't watch him get beaten, rushed up and rescued William with three punches and two kicks.
"Who are you guys who are in charge of our Qing Gang's other people's business? Don't want to live anymore," the man said fiercely.
"I am from the British Consulate. If you dare to attack me, I will make you pay the price. Now take people out of my presence," William said to scare people.
Not to mention that the names of foreigners are just good. A group of people looked at each other and were actually from the British consulate, so they could not be provoked.
"We will leave if you have good luck."
Looking at the gangsters who were gone, several people who were chased came to thank him.
"Thank you both gentlemen for helping you," the woman said.
"Madam, you don't have to be polite. You are not injured. Do you need to take you to the hospital?" Yan Wenchuan said.
"Sir, you are polite. We don't have to go to the hospital for nothing. We just don't know how to thank the two gentlemen."
"My name is: Yan Wenchuan. This is my buddy: William, I have just returned to China. I don't have to be too polite, my wife, it's our honor to help you."
"Hahaha, Mr. Yan is really good at speaking. I don't know where Mr. Yan's hometown is from?" the woman asked.
"Madam, I'm from Yuhuatai, my hometown is from Nanjing."
"Nanjing, that's a coincidence. My family is back to my parents' home in Nanjing this time. I accidentally provoked those people. If it weren't for you today, it would be in trouble."
"That's a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet a fellow villager as soon as I returned to China. I hope my wife will take care of her in the future."
"No problem. As long as you arrive in Nanjing, you will be home. If you have any problems in the future, come to me and I will arrange it for you."
"That's great. I'm not familiar with the place when I returned to China this time. I have an acquaintance that makes it much more convenient for me to do things."
"Haha, I don't have to be polite if you and I have the fate."
After chatting for a while, the woman left the address to Yan Wenchuan and told Yan Wenchuan to contact her when she arrived in Nanjing and would like to thank Yan Wenchuan for reciprocating her. After saying that, she took the people away in a hurry.
"Yan, why are you not interested in her? Although it's not bad, it seems to be a little older," William said, rubbing his head.
"What do you think? This woman's identity must not be simple. After I return to Nanjing, I probably have to rely on their strength to fulfill my wish. I just have to establish a good relationship in advance."
"Okay, hurry up and go back. I will go back to Nanjing tomorrow. If we can't meet for a while, you must remember what I tell you. When I return to Shanghai, we will have a bar together."
"No problem Yan, don't worry."
the next day.
Yan Wenchuan bought a ticket to Nanjing, bid farewell to William and embarked on his way home.
Nanjing, Yuhuatai.
Under a quiet hill, Yan Wenchuan stood in front of him for a long time with a tombstone built and a fruit and food for sacrifice.
