Zuo Xiaojing packed her luggage and said to Shen Ruyan.
"Do you have any news?" Shen Ruyan also knew a lot about Zuo Xiaojing's recent whereabouts.
Zuo Xiaojing said: "There are some clues, but it's not clear yet. Only by truly finding the person can the mystery of that year be revealed."
Shen Ruyan was a little worried, "After all these years, I'm afraid not many people know about this matter anymore."
"Whether there is hope or not, I have to try."
Most of the people involved at that time are no longer alive. The remaining two insiders would definitely not mention this matter. Zuo Xiaojing could only go and have a look with the determination to give it a try, maybe there would be something to gain.
This is the world of mountains, hundreds of miles away from Beijing.
With the current traffic conditions, it won¡¯t take much time.
Zuo Xiaojing prepared an off-road vehicle, packed dry food and water and set off.
On Gu Qiu's side, he was thinking about this matter in the room. Cong Tong said: "You are looking for the old man in vain. It is better to find a solution elsewhere. There may be news about the nurse in the place where the old man successfully broke through and was seriously injured and was admitted to the hospital. You Why not go and see somewhere?¡±
The local field hospital is just a temporary location. After so many years, can we still find clues?
Gu Qiu thought about it over and over again and felt that this plan was feasible. No matter whether he could find clues or not, he still gave it a try!
Just like that, Gu Qiu also took his luggage and set off quietly.
In the southwest of the capital, there is a large mountain range that stretches from north to south. This was once a famous battlefield. Gu Qiu drove the car, getting on the expressway, getting off the expressway, and then turning to a rural road.
Ding Dian** came to this mountain.
The sun was shining brightly, Gu Qiu took a bottle of water, took a sip, and opened the map. This is a military map from the Anti-Japanese War period. He must find the location on the map that corresponds to the present. Only in this way can he find the remains of the hospital.
After entering the mountains, there are no concrete roads anymore, but winding mountain roads with potholes.
Follow this road and go hundreds of miles deep.
I took out the telescope and climbed up a hillside.
A puff of dust and smoke rose directly in front, and a mountain off-road vehicle was driving on the road. The speed of the car was not too fast, and Gu Qiu could tell at a glance that it was a Desert Prince.
I can¡¯t see clearly the people in the car, I can only see the car. It was a bit unusual for a car like the Desert Prince to appear in a place like this, so Gu Qiu paid more attention.
Get back in the car and hit the road again. He discovered that the other party's destination was actually the same as his own.
Who is he?
With a trace of doubt, Gu Qiu followed the opponent a few hundred meters behind.
We climbed over a mountain col and walked on the winding mountain road for more than ten miles. Gu Qiu analyzed the terrain and found that there was a large reservoir under the road.
This reservoir was obviously built after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Because this reservoir was not on the previous map, and there was a fierce sniper battle at the location of this reservoir.
Gu Qiu took another sip of water and drove over according to the determined location.
There was an old man sitting under a tree on the side of the road. Gu Qiu got out of the car to inquire.
The old man looked at Gu Qiu strangely, "What's wrong with you today? You're all asking about this place. Go, it's in the mountain col five or six hundred meters ahead. The hospital you mentioned is long gone and is now a township office." "
Gu Qiu has long expected this. What happened decades ago has already changed.
I thanked the old man and drove over, and I saw the Desert Prince as expected. Gu Qiu got out of the car, took a look, and found that the license plate was also from Beijing.
When he walked in, he heard a familiar voice in the distance. Following the sound, Gu Qiu was stunned for a moment, "Zuo Xiaojing??"
She, a girl, came here alone?
Seeing Zuo Xiaojing inquiring about this matter, Gu Qiu basically understood. She, like herself, is exploring this secret.
But the result was disappointing. Zuo Xiaojing obviously didn't get any useful information. Basically, the people she asked didn't know about this situation.
Gu Qiu thought to himself that since she had asked, she didn¡¯t need to do anything more to avoid others¡¯ suspicion.
There are quite a few elderly people in the village, but not many are in their early nineties. Gu Qiu made a special trip to find such an old man to ask about what happened back then.
According to the village party secretary, there are two elderly people in the village who are over 90 years old, and one of them has been a soldier.
?Gu Qiu was overjoyed and came to the home of these two elderly people with the village party secretary. After inquiring, an old man knew about this.
¡°And he also knew some things about that year, but unfortunately, he didn¡¯t know the two characters, the nurse and the old man from the Zuo family.
In fact, we can¡¯t blame others for this. In the war-torn world at that time, there were countless people going in and out of the hospital. Who could recognize and remember so many people?
¡°And the person Gu Qiu wanted to inquire about was just a nurse. There were many nurses back then, so it was difficult to find one.
Gu Qiu asked, where are the files from that year?
The old man said that the county magistrate¡¯s office should have it, go and look for it there! You might be able to find the clue you're looking for.
Gu Qiu gave the old man a few hundred dollars, then left in a hurry, rushing to the county town without stopping.
Perhaps some clues from that year can be found in the county seat.
When we rushed to the county seat, they had already got off work. Gu Qiu was too embarrassed to alert the local cadres, so he had to find a place to stay.
Another car also came to the county town at this time and checked into a hotel not far from Gu Qiu.
After running around for a day, Gu Qiu sat in front of the computer and sorted out the day's information.
So far, he has only found the remains of the hospital and the witnesses from that year. But no one knew the nurse.
If you can¡¯t find the file in the county magistrate¡¯s office, your work will be in vain.
Originally, he wanted to call Zuo Xiaojing and tell her that he was also in the county, but considering some other reasons, Gu Qiu restrained this impulse.
I took a shower early and went to bed to rest.
Early the next morning, I ran out to have breakfast.
At half past eight, Gu Qiu rushed to the county magistrate¡¯s office and asked the comrades in the office to learn about the situation that year.
The comrades in the county magistrate's office looked indifferent and seemed reluctant. Gu Qiu only revealed his identity. The other party then slowly took out the files from that year.
Gu Qiu looked through it for a while, then took out his mobile phone to scan the information. Because he couldn't tell whether there was the person he was looking for among these people.
After scanning the files, Gu Qiu left.
Zuo Xiaojing went to the county magistrate's office in the afternoon. When she went to find the staff, they said angrily: "What on earth do you want to do? You spent a long time in the morning and came back again in the afternoon. They are all like you, so we don't want to do anything anymore." .¡±
Zuo Xiaojing was very surprised, "Has anyone been here this morning?"
The other party said angrily: "Like you, he is also from the capital. He scanned the files and took them away."
When Zuo Xiaojing heard this, she immediately became anxious, "Tell me, what kind of person is the other person?"
The person from the county magistrate¡¯s office gave a description, but Zuo Xiaojing was still confused, and the other person¡¯s description was too unprofessional.
I made a copy of the files from the county magistrate¡¯s office and returned to the hotel. I made a cup of coffee and sat there wondering, who is this person?
Is there anyone else investigating this matter?
Zuo Xiaojing¡¯s first suspicion was the Zuo family. Will someone come and destroy the evidence?
She had to think so because someone didn't want her to know the truth. But after analyzing it for a long time, I felt that it was not very reliable, so I stopped thinking about it and took the file out for analysis.
Gu Qiu read all the files and could not determine who was the nurse back then. He decided to return to the town again and ask the veteran for more details.
Before returning to town, we passed the reservoir again. Gu Qiu stopped and stood on the road next to the reservoir to watch.
On the opposite hillside, there is a cemetery.
Gu Qiu took out his telescope and looked at it for a while, stopped the car and walked towards the cemetery. This is the tomb of the martyrs back then.
Due to the special circumstances at that time, many tombstones did not even have names on them, and some graves even had their stone tablets missing.
Gu Qiu stood in the cemetery for a long time. When he saw that the sun was setting, he left.
Return to the town and find the veteran.
The veteran was old and could not see the handwriting on the file clearly even with his reading glasses, so Gu Qiu read the names to him one by one.
Maybe he will have some impression.
This file contains all the staff who were in the hospital back then. Gu Qiu thought that the person he was looking for should be in it.
But the veteran shook his head, knowing that he knew part of it. He also said, "This list seems incomplete. At least some of the names of people I know are not in it."
When Gu Qiu heard this, he cursed, "How can we rely on these people to do anything?" He was so careless and careless in his work!
