Chapter 4431: Change Of Weather

At three in the morning, Fujun Town was very quiet. Every household had turned off their lights, and the villagers had gone to bed. Everyone in the town had fallen asleep. Besides the dogs, no one knew that strangers had entered the town.

The four of them weren’t from Fujun Town so they didn’t know much about the town. Although the middle-aged man was leading the way, he wasn’t familiar with the road.

It had been so long since he came back to Fujun Town. Moreover, he had only walked around the dilapidated and poor town and didn’t go to Red Plum’s house. He could tell them everything he could remember. However, these people obviously didn’t believe him. He had no choice but to cooperate.

“Let’s go to the reception area for the new recruits first. Then, you can think about if there are any other useful clues.”

“Okay, I’ll think about it carefully. Let’s walk this way and see if we can walk over. Back then, I went down from the supply and marketing cooperative and went up the field ladder…”

The middle-aged man led the way as he spoke. He took the lead and walked down a small path that was only wide enough for one person. Weeds grew on both sides.

The sound of frogs could be heard in the summer night. Their calves swept across the weeds and alerted the frogs hiding in the grass. They jumped away one by one. There were poisonous water snakes hiding in the grass. If they were unlucky, they might be bitten by the water snakes.

The four of them didn’t turn on their flashlights and walked in the dark. They walked under the moonlight and listened to the barking as they walked toward the reception area for the new recruits.

After so many years, the town had changed. Even the fields and soil had changed. The man leading the way recalled the past under the moonlight. After walking for a few times, he finally found the recruit reception center.

So what if he found the reception center for new recruits?

They still couldn’t find a peach forest or where Red Plum lived.

These people had gone to every village where there was a woman named Red Plum. But they didn’t find any peach forests. It wasn’t until they found the middle-aged man who was leading the way the day before yesterday that they knew that ‘Red Plum’ wasn’t her real name but her codename.

The day before yesterday, when Old Master Li found out that Red Plum was just a codename, he was so angry that he had a coughing fit.

In other words, all the time they spent previously was in vain. Red Plum wasn’t her real name. Even if they searched all the Red Plums in the neighboring towns, they wouldn’t be able to find the person Old Master Li was looking for.

They immediately changed the direction of her investigation. They were no longer just investigating the names of the people. They were investigating which women were soldiers in Fujun Town 16 years ago and how many female soldiers were buried in the martyr memorial park.

This time, they didn’t come to Fujun Town to look for someone. The soldiers split into two groups. One group entered Fujun Town and the other went to Anyang city and the Southern Province to look for clues.

According to reliable information from the man who was leading the way, back then, Red Plum was sacrificed and conferred the title of martyr. The prime minister personally covered her with the flag and sent her back to her hometown for a burial. As for whether she was buried in the martyr memorial park, it needed to be investigated.

It was destined that they wouldn’t gain anything from exploring Fujun Town tonight. The middle-aged man didn’t manage to find Red Plum’s home. Firstly, too much time had passed. Secondly, he hadn’t been to Red Plum’s house in the past. He had only gone through the motions. How was he supposed to find her?

At five o’clock in the morning, the four of them, who didn’t gain anything, found a hotel in the town where the driver of the supply truck was resting. They went to their rooms to wash up and sleep. They even specially instructed the hotel service staff not to disturb their rest.

When the first ray of sunlight lit up Fujun Town in the morning, the residents of the town started their busy day early. The vendors at the market placed all kinds of fresh vegetables and waited for customers to come. The night had passed, and a new sunny day had arrived.

The strangers who arrived at Fujun Town overnight also started asking around.
