Restarting life in Siheyuan

"Everyone, I have to leave tomorrow. I'll leave these things to you."

In the courtyard in the evening, Mr. Zhang prepared a rich dinner, and Lin Yilan, Zhou Xiaoyu, Xie Minghui and other junior brothers and sisters attended the dinner.

"Brother, don't worry, we will take good care of Xiaomei for you, and we will also find the girl from the branch you mentioned..."

Zhou Xiaoyu was the first to express his opinion. Although there were no other clues, it should not be difficult to find the two girls who had close contact with Guo Junjie in Beijing.

He looked at his junior fellow students, and then at his younger sister and Lin Na. Lin Na had already started her internship at the newspaper, responsible for translating foreign news. Xia Yuhong's semester content had also been adjusted. She had added classes this semester and might start her internship next semester. Zhu Xuefeng really didn't want to leave, but there was nothing he could do.

"Okay, I won't say anything else, let's drink this glass of wine together..."

Zhu Xuefeng left anyway, without any relatives or friends to see him off. He boarded a flight to Moscow with 19 other international students. To go to East Berlin, they had to transfer in Moscow. The leader of the team was only responsible for sending them to Moscow and helping with currency exchange and other procedures. The rest of the journey depended on everyone.

Like Zhu Xuefeng, there are two other people who are flying to East Germany. They are all students of Tsinghua University, but the three of them are going to three different schools with different majors and are not in the same city.

After staying in Moscow for half a day, we boarded a flight to East Berlin. This was a Big Goose flight. The majority of people on the plane were from the Big Goose, and many of them were probably officers returning to East Germany after their vacation.

The biggest characteristic of these officers is their arrogance. They seem to not take ordinary passengers and the few yellow-skinned people seriously at all. They are shouting loudly, and the pungent smell of cigars and strong alcohol fills the entire cabin, making people feel very uncomfortable. The beautiful flight attendants keep dealing with the shouting of these officers, and the entire cabin looks messy.

The three of them were sitting at the rear of the cabin, but not together, and unable to communicate. They just looked at each other, expressing extreme speechlessness and disappointment at this chaos. They could only choose to close their eyes and rest, believing out of sight, out of mind.

Zhu Xuefeng was lucky. The person sitting next to him should be a German scholar. He wore glasses and looked at everything in front of him calmly, as if he was used to it. He was silently flipping through his own materials.

"Dear sir, excuse me for bothering you, but could you tell me how long it will take us to get there?" Zhu Xuefeng made small talk, trying to communicate with the old man. After all, it was a long journey and he had nothing to do. It would be nice to find someone to practice speaking with. Judging from the information the other person had looked through, he should be a German.

"Young man, disturbing an old man while he is studying is not something a polite young man should do. You should ask the flight attendants your questions." The old man answered in German without even raising his head.

Zhu Xuefeng was turned away, so he had to give up the idea of ​​practicing speaking, and stopped disturbing others, silently drinking the drinks provided by the flight attendants. Although the treatment on the plane was not as good as that on Pan Am, the difference was not too big. The food was rich, and there were plenty of drinks, and they were enough.

Looking down from the window of the Il-27 plane, the entire earth was hidden in dense forests. The forest coverage rate here was really incomparable to that in China today. Zhu Xuefeng withdrew his gaze and continued to take a nap.

I don't know how long we flew, but when the plane landed for the first time, we had already reached the border. We needed to refuel. The goose was indeed too big and it couldn't fly out without refueling. I wanted to ask where it was, but the old man next door seemed to be concentrating on reading some information.

This trip was a terrible experience. There was no one to communicate with. The plane started a short refueling and maintenance. No one was allowed to get off the plane, but it seemed that they could walk around the cabin freely.

Zhu Xuefeng unbuckled his seat belt and stood up to stretch himself.

"Sir, please don't move around. The plane will take off soon."

Zhu Xuefeng wanted to walk up to his companions and chat with them, but was stopped by a beautiful flight attendant. Zhu Xuefeng pointed at the noisy officers in front of him in confusion. Many of them were running around with bottles of wine, shouting loudly and clinking the bottles with each other to take a big sip from time to time. They were really an energetic nation that had no reaction to alcohol.

The flight attendant spread her hands and shrugged without explaining. Zhu Xuefeng could only smile apologetically to his companion and return to his seat.

"They are the victors and conquerors. This is their right. We don't have it." The old man threw out a sentence in German without even looking up. Zhu Xuefeng looked at this old man who was staying out of the matter in surprise. He became interested and took the initiative to talk to him again. This time the old man didn't seem to refuse. He closed the documents, took off his glasses, and the two of them slowly started chatting.

The old man's name is Arnold, which is a very common name in Germany. He had a factory before the war, but now the factory is gone and he can only teach at the university.

"Oh, dear sir, I didn't expect you to be such a knowledgeable professor. I came from the far east to study at the Dresden University of Technology."

"Technische Universität Dresden? It is indeed a place for study. This school has a long history. Strictly speaking, I also graduated from this school, although that was many years ago..."

With this as the communication line between the two, communication became much smoother. The old man knew the school very well and took the initiative to introduce the school's history and current scientific research level. The level of familiarity made Zhu Xuefeng suspect that this person was a professor at Dresden University of Technology.

"No, no, no, I really am not. I just studied in this school for a few years. That was decades ago." There was a light in the old man's eyes, and he seemed to be lost in deep thought. Whenever he talked about the historical achievements of this school, it seemed that a kind of confidence and pride was quietly recovering.

It turned out that the old man was a professor at Merseburg Institute of Technology. He didn't reveal too much details, but as the plane took off again, the old man stopped communicating, and Zhu Xuefeng had to close his eyes out of boredom.

The group of officers who had been struggling all the way seemed to have exhausted their excitement and stopped struggling. Several of them were already snoring happily.

It seemed as if someone was looking at him many times. Zhu Xuefeng did not open his eyes. No one in this far away place would recognize him. He was too lazy to open his eyes. In his consciousness, it seemed that a flight attendant looked at him from time to time. He had no impression of the flight attendant's back. Of course, Zhu Xuefeng did not think that any beautiful woman from Big Goose would recognize him. He had no intersection with this place and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

Maybe it was because he drank too much, Zhu Xuefeng stood up and walked towards the bathroom in the middle. The plane was not big, there was only one bathroom in the middle. The bathroom light was on, and Zhu Xuefeng could only wait outside. It was really weird, aren't the light reminders from later generations still available on the current IL Civil Aviation planes?

Finally, the sound of water was heard from inside, and the door opened. An officer with red eyes and drunken mouth stuck his head out. Zhu Xuefeng dodged and the other party squeezed in recklessly. Facing the big guy who was almost a head taller than him, Zhu Xuefeng was speechless.

Just as he was about to open the door and go in, a burly officer unexpectedly rushed up from behind, pushed Zhu Xuefeng aside without any courtesy and tried to go in.

Zhu Xuefeng frowned, knowing that he shouldn't bother with these big bears who were obviously drunk, so he stepped back. Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to dislike him for not completely and proactively giving in. They turned their heads and glared at him, then pushed him rudely.

Zhu Xuefeng got angry and lowered his body. Years of training made it easy for him to take the push. Da Xiong looked at the small man in front of him in surprise. He was almost twice as heavy as the other man, but he didn't push him away. He pushed again. This time Zhu Xuefeng was no longer passive. He stretched out his hand to catch the other man's bear paw and held it tightly. As the force increased, Da Xiong's face changed. The inconspicuous yellow man in front of him seemed to be much stronger than himself. Retracting his pinched palm, Da Xiong's eyes flashed fiercely, and a big foot wearing a big military boot kicked over. The dispute here has attracted the attention of a group of officers not far away, and several flight attendants are also walking quickly.

Zhu Xuefeng was naturally not stupid enough to fight with the other party. He slightly moved aside and subconsciously tripped the big bear. The big bear kicked in the air, leaned forward, and suddenly fell down with a dull thud.

When Zhu Xuefeng turned around with a smile, a man over 190 cm tall was standing in front of him, and his two companions were also staring at him.

"Sir, I need an explanation. You are suspected of attacking active military personnel on an aircraft."

"No, no, no, dear Colonel, this captain just fell down accidentally. You can ask him for the details to see if I hit him. There are many passengers nearby, and many people should have seen it. As for this burly captain, you don't think I pushed him down, do you? Obviously, I don't have that much strength."

"What this gentleman said is correct. He didn't do anything. He didn't even touch the captain. The captain fell down because he was drunk."

The passengers near the bathroom spoke out for justice. The colonel didn't say anything, but walked up to Daxiong and asked a few questions in a low voice. Daxiong looked at Zhu Xuefeng with a complicated expression and explained a few words. The colonel looked at the Asian man in disbelief and talked with the flight attendants who came over for a while.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. My subordinates said that he was careless and you really didn't do it. Please forgive my rudeness."

The turmoil ended in a whimper. After Zhu Xuefeng freed himself, he waved to the two people who looked at him with sharp eyes and returned to his seat.

The several officers did not leave any impression on him, but a flight attendant who just rushed over made him a little confused. He always felt that the beautiful face was somewhat familiar. It was really strange. He was an old man and didn't even recognize her. Combined with his perception that he had been observed many times, it seemed that something unexpected was going to happen.

This suspicion finally became a reality after the plane arrived at the airport, I said goodbye to my two study abroad companions and Professor Arnold.

The school is not in this city that is divided into two. One has to take a train for several hours to the south, which is close to the border. Zhu Xuefeng was about to take a bus to the train station when he was stopped unexpectedly.

"Mr. Zhu, please wait!"

He turned his head and looked at the woman in the Big Goose flight attendant uniform not far away. He had some impression of her. This was too amazing. He had confirmed that the woman in front of him was the girl who had followed him in Wangfujing and was looking at him with a big bag.

Zhu Xuefeng walked over and stood face to face with him, "How do you know my last name is Zhu?"

The girl opposite smiled and said, "Student Zhu Xuefeng, of course I checked your boarding information. If I'm not mistaken, you are Mr. Zhu Wentao."

A gloomy hotel, Nanxing Hotel was the temporary residence of the two. The conditions here were average, but it could accommodate foreign personnel. Zhu Xuefeng checked in at the girl's suggestion, and even the accommodation fee was paid by the girl.

"How do you know that my other name is Zhu Wentao?"

Here, Zhu Xuefeng didn't care about his other identity and carried all his documents with him. It was a pity that he couldn't get a visa here in Hong Kong, so he couldn't use it. However, he did get visas for several other Western European countries.

The girl's expression seemed to change several times in a short while.

"Let me introduce myself, Anfia. My current name means flower. My father changed it for me. It's very similar to my previous name."

It turned out that the girl was Guli Nazha, a former flight attendant of a domestic airline. She followed Gao Feng and others and checked people for several months in order to find Zhu Wentao.

It seems that my judgment last time in Wangfujing was correct. I took a flight in China under the name of Zhu Wentao and was investigated for several months, but for some reason I was never found.

"But how did you get here? And you changed your name? Are you a Goose man now?"

"I don't want to do this. It's my father. I'm Chinese. I don't want to be a Goose person. Mr. Zhu, I know you are a capable person. You must have a way to help me go back, right? I want to go home, I want to go home. I don't want to be a Goose person. My ancestors are all in the Flower Country. I am Chinese."

Guli Nazha burst into tears and recounted incoherently how she was tricked by her father into going home with false news that her mother was critically ill, and then forcibly taken to Daye.

"I saw Team Leader Gao and the others, but unfortunately they had no chance to rescue me..." This was a failed mission by Uncle Kong and his team in the first half of last year. Zhu Xuefeng had heard a little about it, but he did not expect that Guli Nazha was among them.

"Aren't you free now? It seems that no one is restricting you. You can go back by yourself. Of course, what about your parents? Do you want to abandon them?"

When asked about this, Guli Nazha seemed even more painful, "No one restricts me, but I can't go back. My identity is restricted and I can't buy any plane tickets. As for my home, my home is gone..." After saying this, she burst into tears again.

It turned out that in the second month, Guli Nazha's mother died of illness because she could not adapt to the severe cold in Siberia, and her father, under the arrangement here, married a widowed woman and had a new family with a son and daughter.

Guli Nazha, on the other hand, was thrown into a secret place and trained for a year before she took on the position of flight attendant. She has only been a flight attendant for four months now, and she took on a task that she was very resistant to. Zhu Xuefeng understood that she was now a low-level swallow.

Guli Nazha unexpectedly recognized Zhu Xuefeng this time and felt that the trajectory of her life might change again, which led to all this.

The two chatted for a long time. Guli Nazha cried many times at night. Finally, at dawn, she checked out quietly. She was going to catch the return flight today.

Watching Zhu Xuefeng's figure going away, Guli Nazha gritted her teeth and waved her fist, "Naza, come on, you can definitely do it!" (End of this chapter)
