After another chat, we left the hotel.


    Jin Jingxiu wants to walk by the river again. Qiutong and I accompany her.


    It''s windy and cold at night. Jin Jingxiu and Qiu Tong don''t wear much. I suggest going back to the hotel room.


    They are very obedient.


    When I got back to my room, I was half lying at the head of the bed, smoking silently, thinking about what happened today, about the conversation with Jin Jingxiu tonight, and about Kong Kun that Jin Jingxiu accidentally mentioned


    There was a knock at the door.


    "Come in -" I said.


    The door is not closed.


    Qiutong came in.


    I half lay there and didn''t move, looking at Qiutong.


    "Get up - sit down!" Qiu Tong said.


    So I sat beside the bed, Qiutong sat on the sofa beside me, looking at me greatly.


    "Is aunt Kim resting?" I said.


    "Taking a bath!" Qiu Tong said with a grim smile.


    "She is taking a bath, so you have no place to take a bath. Would you like to borrow a place to take a bath from me?" I was joking with her.


    Qiu Tong did not smile: "less hippy smile!"


    I grin and look at Qiutong.


    "Strangle the cigarette!" Qiu Tong said.


    "What for?" I said.


    "Strangle Qiu Tong said.


    I honestly choke the cigarette, and then look at Qiutong.


    "Come on, what''s going on?" Qiu Tong said.


    I know what Qiu Tong asked, and I felt some deliberation and hesitation for a moment.


    As if to see my mind, autumn Tong then added: "to tell the truth! Don''t lie


    I no longer hesitated, looked up at Qiutong: "yes, before I did not tell you the truth, her departure, I know, not only know, or I arranged!"


    "Why?" Qiu Tong said.


    "It''s easy! If she doesn''t leave, she''ll die -- "I said in a low voice.


    As soon as the voice fell, Qiutong''s body trembled.


    "Why?" She asked again, hoarse.


    "Because she''s involved in something she shouldn''t have done!" I said.


    Qiutong''s eyes were directly at me, and I looked at her.


    Qiu Tong''s eyes trembled slightly. It seemed that she understood what I said. She was extremely intelligent. She could understand what I said.


    Sure enough, Qiu Tong nodded slowly: "I think I realized something."


    "I think you''re right!" I said.


    "She How could that be? How did it get to this point? " Qiu Tong''s voice was filled with shock and pain.


    "Because of the money!" I said.


    Qiu Tong''s brow wrinkled, looking at me: "just because of money?"


    My eyes hesitated and I didn''t speak for a moment.


    Qiu Tong looked up at the ceiling and pondered.


    I lit another cigarette and took a few puffs.


    "Are you helping her or saving her? Are you seeking the comfort of your conscience, or are you trying to escape from something? " Qiutong looked at me, not very loud, but very powerful.


    I didn''t speak.


    "What did she get? What have you lost? And the people behind the scenes, the people behind you and her, what gains and losses have they made? " Qiu Tong continued to ask me.


    I''m silent, but my heart is beating the drum.


    "Those who are willing to suffer will not suffer; those who love to take advantage will not. No matter how good things are, they can''t be owned for a long time. Don''t think there is no reason for success or failure. Today''s bitter fruit is the foreshadowing of yesterday. " Qiutong stood up, shook his body, murmured and left.


    I sat there and didn''t move. When I heard the sound of Qiutong closing the door, my body shook suddenly.


    Repeatedly savoring the last words of Qiutong


    At breakfast the next day, Jin Jingxiu and Qiu Tong met at the restaurant.


    "Morning --" I looked at them as if they were in a good mental state.


    "Good morning," they laughed at me.


    "Did you sleep well last night?" I said.


    "Yes, very good." Qiu Tong said.


    "Ha ha, Qiutong and I lie together chatting, chatting, Qiutong unconsciously lies in my arms and falls asleep!" Jin Jingxiu said with a smile, with a loving and loving expression on her face.


    Autumn Tong embarrassed to smile, but that smile but with a bit of happiness and warmth.


    In front of my eyes, Qiutong and jinjingxiu lie together chatting, and then Qiutong falls asleep peacefully in jinjingxiu''s arms. I can''t help thinking of the unknown mother and daughter in the movie Xiaohua. They were the same scene at that time.


    What a warm and moving picture it is.


    Thinking like this, my nose is a little sour.


    Rubbing his nose, I said: "eat!"


    During the meal, Qiu Tong went to one side to make a phone call. While eating, I asked Jin Jingxiu, "aunt Jin, how are you going to do today?"Jin Jingxiu said, "let''s drive up the river, OK?"


    I said, "good!"


    "Last night, I read the map and went up. There is a place called Shenxian Bay. The Yalu River hydropower station is nearby. The scenery there must be good!" Jin Jingxiu said quietly.


    "Good, no problem!" I said.


    At this time, Qiutong came back from the phone and sat down to eat while saying, "I just called Xiaoxue and told her to listen to her grandparents."


    "Ha ha..." Jin Jingxiu laughed: "unfortunately, I didn''t see your little princess this time! I think she must be as beautiful and lovely as her mother


    Qiu Tong laughed: "next time there is a chance to see, Xiaoxue is really a very lovely child!"


    I then inserted a sentence: "snow grandfather answered the phone?"


    "Yes! Ask me where I am Qiu Tong said.


    "What did you say?" I said as if nothing had happened.


    "I said I would accompany my Korean friends to Dandong with you!" Qiu Tong said.


    My heart move, not talking, bow to continue to eat.


    Jin Jingxiu smiles and continues to eat.


    Jin Jingxiu obviously doesn''t care about the conversation between Qiutong and me. How can she think of who is Xiaoxue''s grandfather I mentioned?


    After breakfast, Qiu Tong and Jin Jingxiu went back to their room to pick up their things. I drove directly to the front of the hotel to wait for them to come down.


    At this time, my mobile phone rang. I didn''t know it was Lao Li.


    "Uncle Li -" I answered directly.


    "Xiaoyi! Where are you? " Lao Li''s voice.


    The voice on the phone is a little noisy, and there are cars from time to time. The sound of the horn seems that Lao Li is not at home, but on the street.


    "Qiutong and I were in Dandong together:" I said straightforwardly: "we came with Jin Jingxiu. Jin Jingxiu arrived in Xinghai yesterday, and then came directly to Dandong!"


    "I did. I did." Lao Li murmured.


    "Although your voice sounds very calm, your heart must be very excited at this time!" I said.


    Lao Li didn''t speak and seemed to acquiesce.


    "You want to see her?" I said.


    Lao Li still didn''t speak.


    "You want to see her, but do you think she would like to see you?" I said.


    I feel very cruel and cold again. I feel that I am tormenting the old couple mercilessly.


    After a long silence, I heard a deep sigh from Lao Li on the phone.


    At this time, I saw Jin Jingxiu and Qiu Tong walking out of the hotel, so I said, "Uncle Li, I don''t want to talk to you. We''re going to start --"


    "where are you going?" Lao Li finally spoke.


    It seems that Lao Li is very concerned about our trip today.


    "What? Uncle Li, do you want to come and relax with us? " I said sarcastically.


    Lao Li is speechless.


    "Shenxianwan:" I don''t want to dally with Lao Li. Then I added: "it''s near the Yalu River hydropower station!"


    "Fairy bay!" I heard Lao Li cry out on the phone.


    "What''s the matter? Uncle Li I said, a little strange.


    Lao Li didn''t speak, but he was silent.


    At this time, Jin Jingxiu and Qiutong had arrived at the car, and I immediately hung up.


    When Qiu Tong and Jin Jingxiu got on the bus, I drove along Binjiang avenue to the upper reaches of Yalu River.


    At this point, I don''t know what will happen today.


    It''s a nice day. The winter sun shines on the Yalu River.


    I drove along the Bank of Yalu River. It was only a river away from the other bank. The width was only 300 meters. When it was narrow, it was less than 100 meters, or even dozens of meters. I could see the houses and trees on the other bank, and even the vehicles on the road along the river. I could even see the hidden castle on the opposite bank. Of course, I could also see the people''s Army soldiers swimming on the bank with guns and cotton padded clothes.


    In winter, the opposite bank appears more depressed and desolate.


    I kept a speed of about 40 miles and walked slowly along the river bank, so that Jin Jingxiu could have a better look at her motherland and even her hometown on the other side.


    She said that she was born on the other side of the Yalu River.


    Actually, I know if she doesn''t say it.


    It''s just that I don''t know where she fell in love with Lao Li.


    Not far from the city, there are two symmetrical sculptures on the side of the road. I stop.


    "This is the floating bridge over the Yalu River, where the volunteers crossed the river secretly. Peng Dehuai also crossed the Yalu River from here." I said.


    There are two groups of sculptures, one is a Volunteer Army crossing the river, the other is a common people seeing off their loved ones, with red ribbons around their necks, which is very eye-catching.


    On the Yalu river behind the sculpture, there are some stumps of wood on the surface of the river. Only these stumps are left on the floating bridge.


    Jin Jingxiu and Qiu Tong looked and opened the door.I''ll open the door, too. Let''s go and have a look.


    It is explained that the floating bridge is made of wood, which can connect with railway. After the Yalu River Bridge was broken by the US emperor, the wooden floating bridge became an important channel to connect China and North Korea, as well as the war materials of the movement.


    The reason why the floating bridge was not bombed is that the bridge was underwater. The bridge deck was 1.5 meters underwater at high tide, and it only came out of the water at low tide. The US Devils'' reconnaissance plane never found it. The reason why there are high tide and low tide is that it is not far from the estuary of Yalu River.


    Over the past few decades, the pontoon has become a remnant of history. Only some black wood appears on the surface of the water, which seems to tell the story of that period of history.


    Qiu Tong and Jin Jingxiu went down the steps and stood by the river to watch.


    At this time, a text message came from my mobile phone.


    Du Jianguo is here.


    "Brother Yi, the old man got into my taxi and wanted to charter a car to Dandong."


    I know the old man is Lao Li.


    Today, it''s Du Jianguo''s turn to be on duty in Lao Li''s house. He was there in a taxi.


    Lao Li takes Du Jianguo''s taxi to Dandong.


    He has no special car now, so he can only rent it.


    I know what Lao Li came to Dandong for, but I don''t know what he wanted to do.


    I know Lao Li knows where we are going today. Before we set out, he asked me and I told him.
