Chapter 208 [Autumn Cicada 25]
Five years later, You You returned to Hong Kong again, and under the order of the organization, she lurked in Hong Kong under the code name of Red Spider Lily.
Over the years, every time Ye Chong encountered danger, a mysterious person would come to his rescue, but Ye Chong never knew who the other person was, and the other person never revealed his identity.
Ye Chong always felt that he should know this person and that the other party was not from the organization, because every time he was injured, there would always be a bottle of ointment by his bed the next day. This ointment was very effective and the wound would heal naturally within a few days after using it.
Youyou found that Hong Kong has changed a lot in the past five years, but the situation has remained tense. Youyou contacted Lin Er and others and learned about everything that has happened in Hong Kong in recent years.
Lin Er told Youyou that Ye Chong and He Ying had been very close over the years. After Youyou left, He Ying went back to school after her injury healed. Later, for some reason, He Ying got to know Ye Chong.
After hearing this, Youyou did not go to find Ye Chong immediately.
After staying at home for a few days, Youyou went out. The night before, she specially asked Lin Jiu to deliver a letter to Lin Xiaozhuang, asking Lin Xiaozhuang to meet in the No. 1 box of the Rose Hotel the next day. She also left a red spider lily on the letter.
After Lin Xiaozhuang received the letter, he found out that it was a famous figure in the organization who came to Hong Kong. Because Youyou was very famous in recent years, and was well-known among the Japanese. He had killed many Japanese, and after each killing, he would leave a red spider lily. The Japanese had never been able to do anything to Youyou, and he was always elusive, so no one knew which side the red spider lily belonged to?
Generally speaking, few people in the organization know that Higanbana is a Communist. Others only know that Higanbana is a patriot, but have no idea whether she is a man or a woman.
This time, Higanbana came to Hong Kong, and the organization specifically informed Lin Xiaozhuang through special contact information that Higanbana was one of their own and that going to Hong Kong was to cooperate with them.
Lin Xiaozhuang told Ye Chong about the arrival of the red spider lily in Hong Kong. Ye Chong was full of curiosity about this red spider lily. In five years, the name of the red spider lily had terrified everyone, and the Japanese were scared to death whenever they heard the name.
Lin Xiaozhuang said to Ye Chong, "Brother Ye Chong, why don't you come with me to meet this comrade Bianhua? Aren't you quite curious about her?"
"Okay, but Higanbana only made an appointment with you, so it might not be appropriate for me to go." Ye Chong said.
"It seems so, but why did Higanbana only ask me out? Aren't you also a member of the organization?" Lin Xiaozhuang asked puzzledly.
"I guess it's because people are more vigilant, and there are very few people in the organization who know the identity of Higanbana. We can't be sure whether this is Higanbana or not. After all, there have been many people pretending to be Higanbana in recent years." Ye Chong said.
"That's true, but is this person real?" Lin Xiaozhuang was confused.
"You'll know if you go and take a look." Ye Chong said.
The next day, Youyou came to the private room and waited for Lin Xiaozhuang. She wore a red spider lily mask on purpose. She didn't want to reveal her identity so soon. Lin Xiaozhuang had seen her many times. In order to avoid being discovered by him, she decided to wear a mask.
Lin Xiaozhuang came into the private room and saw the woman in red wearing a red spider lily mask. He was shocked. It was hard to believe that the person who was so feared by the outside world was actually a woman.
"Hello, are you Comrade Higanbana?" Lin Xiaozhuang said.
"Hello, Comrade Lin Xiaozhuang, I will be your immediate superior from now on. If you have any problems, you can go to the Lin residence at No. 78 Shanghai Road to find a man named Lin Er, and he will inform me." Youyou said.
"Okay, but why are you wearing a mask? We are all family, don't worry." Lin Xiaozhuang was curious about what the face looked like under the mask.
"I'm sorry, I injured my face a few years ago and have a big scar that's very ugly. In order to avoid being seen by other people, I've been wearing a mask." Youyou pretended to be in great pain.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaozhuang immediately apologized to Youyou, "I'm sorry, Comrade Bianhua, I touched your wound. I'm really sorry. I didn't know about this situation beforehand."
"It doesn't matter, it's over. Over the years, I've gotten used to it. I've seen all kinds of people. It's just a piece of skin. So what if it's good-looking or not? We still have to live." Youyou said self-deprecatingly.
"Comrade Higanbana, your ideas are really unique. But Comrade Higanbana, have I seen you somewhere before? I think your eyes are so familiar, but I can't remember where I am at the moment. Do I know you?" Lin Xiaozhuang asked.
Youyou was startled and thought he had been discovered. Fortunately, he didn't often spend time with Lin Xiaozhuang, so he didn't think of it for a while. However, in order to avoid being discovered by him, it is better to have less contact with him.
"I have been in Yan'an before and have never been to Hong Kong. Comrade Lin Xiaozhuang, did you recognize the wrong person?" Youyou asked.
"Maybe." Lin Xiaozhuang really couldn't remember where he had seen Youyou before, and he didn't even think of Qingquan Keiko who passed away five years ago.
Afterwards, Lin Xiaozhuang told Ye Chong what happened today, including the news that the red spider lily was actually a female.
When Ye Chong found out, he was also surprised. After all, it was rare to see women like this these days.
Lin Xiaozhuang inadvertently joked with Ye Chong, "Brother Ye Chong, but I found something interesting."
"What?" Ye Chong asked.
"Comrade Higanbana's eyes look like someone, but I can't think of who it is for a moment. I always feel that it is very familiar, as if I know someone I know." Lin Xiaozhuang said.
"There are so many people like him in this world." Ye Chong said nonchalantly.
Lin Xiaozhuang suddenly saw the photo on Ye Chong's desk, and thought about the red spider lily carefully. After comparing them, he found that the two people's eyes were surprisingly similar.
"Brother Ye Chong, now I know who the red spider lily looks like?" Lin Xiaozhuang felt like he had discovered a new continent.
"Who does he look like? Tell me quickly." Ye Chong asked.
"Brother Ye Chong, don't you think it's strange? I found that the eyes of the red spider lily are very similar to those of Qingquan Huizi. They are exactly the same. I tell you, if I hadn't seen Huizi being buried, I would have suspected that Huizi was not dead." Lin Xiaozhuang said jokingly.
"The red spider lily looks like Huizi. Is what you said true or false?" Ye Chong said excitedly.
"Really, I'm sure of it." Lin Xiaozhuang said.
"But we saw her burying her with our own eyes. This is impossible. Moreover, Junko personally supervised the entire process. We were there too. How could Huizi escape by faking her death?" Lin Chong didn't believe this was true.
"But Comrade Higanbana really looks like Huizi. But based on what you said, I kind of doubt whether I was seeing things. Besides, there are so many people who look alike in this world, so maybe it's just a coincidence." Lin Xiaozhuang said.
"Then you must have seen it wrong." Ye Chong said, but a seed was planted in his heart.
"Maybe." Lin Xiaozhuang said.
"By the way, Xiaozhuang, has Red Spider Lily ever been to Hong Kong before?" Ye Chong asked.
"I asked about this, and they said they have been staying in Yan'an and have never been to Hong Kong," said Lin Xiaozhuang.
Ye Chong felt that he had to see this famous red spider lily. Although he had never seen the red spider lily, Ye Chong always had a familiar feeling about it.
Ye Chong asked, "Xiao Zhuang, can I meet Comrade Bianhua? It just so happens that we are going to fight side by side in Hong Kong, so meeting each other will help us get to know each other better."
"I'm afraid I need to ask this. After all, I don't know where Higanbana lives. She only gave me a contact address and told me to go there directly if I have any problems and someone will notify her. I think Higanbana should not live there." Lin Xiaozhuang said.
"Well, it seems that Comrade Higanbana is quite mysterious." Ye Chong said.
