At noon, Xia Mingli set up a home banquet, which was considered to be entertaining the new brother-in-law. Xia Mingli's two sons also came to the table, and Xia Kejun's aunt also came out to meet Muyang. The whole family was very satisfied with Muyang as their son-in-law.

  At night, Muyang was arranged to sleep at Xia's residence.

  The next morning, Xia Mingli took Mu Yang, Xia Kejun and his two sons, Xia Kejun's aunt, and several others to the ancestral tomb of the Xia family to pay respects to their ancestors and Xia Minglun and his wife.

  Xia Kejun cried until she became a tearful person, muttering vaguely in her mouth: "Father, mother, daughter has avenged for you, you can rest assured if you have spirit in heaven, daughter will live happily for the rest of her life, please don't worry."

  Muyang behaved very politely, he had made up his mind to take good care of Xia Kejun. Since someone's daughter followed him, he naturally wanted to worship Mount Tai and the Great River. Muyang knelt in front of Xia Minglun couple's tomb and respectfully kowtowed four times.

  Xia Kejun watched as Mu Yang kowtowed to his parents, but in her heart, she felt an infinite warmth rising up. Mu Ge helped her avenge her great grievance and was so respectful and courteous; what more could she be dissatisfied with? At this moment, Xia Kejun only felt that she was filled with happiness.

  After worshiping her parents, Xia Kejun seemed to have put down a big stone in her heart, feeling that the whole heart was freed from the lock chain, becoming free. From now on, she will live her own life well and accompany Mo Da Ge by her side.

  After paying respects to their parents and getting the approval of Da Bo, Mu Yang and Xia Ke Jun did not stay long in Lu Cheng Town. The next afternoon, Mu Yang drove his motorcycle directly towards Zhangjiakou. They still had to take a train back to Tianjin, where Mu Yang would board a ship to Shanghai.

  Zhangjiakou still has no change, and may not even know that Yu Pingqing has been killed. After all, the place where Muyang took action was in a forest in the wilderness, and normally no one would go there. How could it be discovered? Even if it were discovered, I estimate that it would have been bitten by wild beasts beyond recognition.

  They boarded the train safely and returned to Tianjin, where Mu Yang continued to use his Japanese identity to obtain two passenger ship tickets from Tianjin to Shanghai, and boarded a ship bound for Shanghai.

  Going back to Tianjin to take the boat is also not feasible. If we travel by land, it's estimated that even after half a month or 20 days, we still won't be able to reach Shanghai. Moreover, along the way, we'll have to pass through many war zones and blockaded areas. It's not like later generations where there are highways; the roads are difficult to navigate on one hand, but more importantly, it would be extremely challenging for Moye to get through the war zones with Xiaokejun. In the end, they had no choice but to return to Tianjin and take the boat.

  Fortunately, after more than ten days, the Japanese army in Tianjin was no longer so strict in their searches, and the air raid warning had been temporarily lifted. Taking advantage of my identity as a Japanese soldier, I managed to get hold of a boat ticket with great difficulty.

  At the moment he boarded the ship's deck, Mu Yang felt that he had accomplished a great feat, it was really exhausting and tiring.

  Entering the cabin, it was a standard double room, which was already a rare good room on this cruise ship at that time. Mu Yang put down his luggage and said to Xia Kejun: "Following me all the way, you must be tired, there are 3 days of sea travel, it's okay to rest for a while, by the way, you don't get seasick, do you?"

  The last sentence made Xia Kejun laugh. Xia Kejun said: "I used to sit on a big boat going out to sea, and I didn't get seasick."

  These days, while rushing on the road, Muyang clearly felt that Xiaokejun's mental state was getting better and better, as if she had already walked out of the shadow of life and became a sunny girl. This made Muyang very happy. He always thought that girls should be happier and more sunny, like Lin Daiyu, who would easily get heart disease.

  The cabin's decor is simple, with two soft cushion beds fixed to the deck, a small table, and unusually, it also has a bathroom. On one side of the ship's hull there is a porthole facing outside, about half a meter in length and width, which can only be opened halfway. However, after opening the window, the gentle sea breeze blows in, bringing some coolness, making the room no longer feel stuffy.

  When they boarded the ship, it was already evening. Mu Yang took out some food and the two of them ate in their cabin instead of going to the dining hall on the ship. Because there were many Japanese people in the high-class cabins, especially Japanese soldiers, Mu Yang did not want to expose himself, and with Xia Kejun by his side, a beautiful woman, they might attract unwanted attention. It was better to keep a low profile and eat in their cabin instead.

  Two people gazed out at the sea outside the window, Xia Kejun holding onto one of Mu Yang's arms, her head lightly resting on his shoulder, savoring a warm and quiet moment.

  The two of them left Zhangjiakou together, eating and living together, their feelings deepening with each passing day. Especially Xia Kejun, after going through so many things, had already determined that Muyang was her future reliance, gradually opening up her heart and showing great affection towards Muyang.

  "Mu Ge, you haven't told me what you're going to Shanghai for yet?" Xia Kejun asked.

  At first, Muyang didn't want to let Xiaokejun know what he was doing, fearing that she would worry. However, he underestimated the determination of a woman to get to the bottom of things, and besides, what he was doing wasn't something to be ashamed of. Muyang said: "Actually, I received some information that the Japanese have smuggled out a large batch of our country's cultural relics, and I want to retrieve them. These things belong to the Chinese nation and cannot be easily taken away by those little devils."

  Xia Kejun's reaction was somewhat beyond Muyang's expectation. She raised her head, and a look of admiration flashed in her eyes. "Brother Muyang, what you did is very dangerous, right? Why didn't you want to tell me before?"

  "I'm afraid you'll worry." Murong said, holding Xiaokejun's hand.

  "From the very beginning, I knew that Mu Ge was a lone hero type of person. Although I don't know why you did it, I think you're right. The Japanese are shameless and brutal, killing so many of our compatriots and plundering countless treasures from our country. They should be taken back." Xia Kejun said.

  Mu Yang couldn't help but laugh and asked: "How did you know all this?"

  "There were things my father said, and also what I heard when I was in girls' school. Many of my classmates wanted to go to the front lines, even if it was just to mend clothes, wash and cook for the soldiers, that would be supporting the war effort too." Xia Kejun's reaction was somewhat beyond Muyang's expectations, it seemed that most students of this era had a strong sense of patriotism.

  Xia Kejun mentioned his father at this time, and there was no longer the sadness of before, obviously his mood had improved a lot.

  "Didn't you have such thoughts at that time?" Mu Yang was quite curious about this girl's thoughts.

  "I had thought about it, but at that time I wanted revenge more. I was afraid that if I died in the front line, there would be no chance for revenge."

  "Is there still such an idea now?"

  Xia Kejun looked at Mu Yang and said: "No, I just want to follow Brother Mu now. Wherever Brother Mu goes, I'll go."

  What else can be said, a girl like this pouring her heart out to you is the blessing of a man's lifetime. Holding Xia Kejun's hand, the two people stood quietly like that, watching the afterglow on the sea, savoring this peaceful moment.

  At night, the two of them slept in separate beds. It had been a long time since Mu Yang returned to modern times and space. A thought occurred to him, and he returned to his own home.
