Meanwhile, far away in northern Lu, Zhang Chulan learned of Feng Baobao's past from the lips of Xu Xiang, who was lingering on his deathbed and drawing his final breaths. Chulan asked:
"Uncle Xu, is there a mountain near your village called Four Girls Mountain? Or let me ask you this: how far is your village from that mountain?"
The dying old man on the bed, holding onto a single thread of life, rasped weakly, "Less than twenty miles. I know what you want to ask. Perhaps that was the beginning of A-Wu's tragic fate, but no one knows who the people they were hunting back then were, nor does anyone clearly know what happened at Four Girls Mountain in '44."
