I am the Odd One Out Chapter 25

On the morning of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, on the steps in front of the Chenghuang Pavilion, Gu Yimin, whose hair was dyed white by snowflakes, handed over 23 banknotes of varying amounts to Zeng Wanfu, Chen Shun and Zhang Pinsan, and saw them off amidst the flying snowflakes. . He raised a bowl of wine high, and the three "farming" warriors with snowflakes on their heads also raised their wine bowls. The representatives of the kidnapped family also raised their wine bowls. They wiped away the snowflakes hanging from their mouths. After drinking all the wine in the bowl, Gu Yimin said to the three people:

"Go and come back quickly."

These three people all wore belts on their black cotton-padded jackets and leggings on their legs. They held their heads high as they walked through the crowd, perhaps because they were too excited, and their ambitious expressions revealed giggles.

After walking out of Xizhen, they walked towards Shendian for more than ten miles, turned on a winding road, walked to Wuquan, and had to walk a winding mountain road before they reached the place where the ransom was paid as written on the bandit's post. Location, there is a Guanyin Temple there.

As they walked through Wuquan, they met a farmer carrying an empty load. The farmer told them that he had witnessed a firefight between the Beiyang Army and the National Revolutionary Army outside Shendian City yesterday. The sound of gunfire, and now there is a ringing in the ears.
