The night outside is getting deeper and deeper, and the moon has even hidden away without knowing when. The northwest wind comes over, bringing with it the slightest bit of cold air, blowing directly into my face.
When it blows on people's bodies, it makes them shiver all over. After all, this wind means that the end of autumn is coming soon. Can winter be far behind?
The sky outside, which was already dark enough, may have become increasingly gloomy, and even gave me an oppressive feeling, causing thick dark clouds to hang over the entire sky above Xinjing.
These dark clouds may come down at any time and deal a fatal blow.
Especially the wind, which was blowing and whistling loudly, made people not want to move anymore.
In Qingniu Village, Yu Xiong, Chen Shijie, He Bao, Zhou Shian and others were all sitting there, not wanting to say a word, after all, the thing happened so suddenly.
Three brothers, and Wu Bao had gone through the Japanese interrogation and training, and they all survived, and now they died at the gunpoint of the police.
"But don't worry, the station commander has killed the traitor Sun Keming, and Wu Bao and the others have also been avenged. We also escaped because the station commander informed us quickly."
"As for everyone, there is one thing. The station master asked me to tell you that from now on, you are not allowed to go home without orders. Remember, you are not allowed to go home. Of course, going home will bring disaster to your family. That station
There is nothing we can do to save him."
"As for the monthly salary, now the webmaster has said that he can still provide it in a short period of time. After all, this is his personal money, and it will probably be able to support it until the end of the year. As for the future, the webmaster has said that his
I’m still trying to think of a solution, after all, the number of people we carry is increasing, and the various expenses alone are already astronomical.”
"We all understand this. In the past, when the webmaster didn't come, it was normal for us to only pay a little salary in one or two years. Now the webmaster has done a pretty good job."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shijie understood what Yu Xiong meant, so he immediately changed the subject. Then he looked at Yu Xiong and said calmly: 'Is there anything else?'
"By the way, there is one more thing. Tomorrow, a batch of arms will be sent from Xinjing to Majiaji. There is about a load of arms. The stationmaster asked me to take the message. If possible, this batch of arms will be swallowed up directly.
.”
"clear!"
When Chen Shijie heard it was a mission, he immediately became interested.
"By the way, the stationmaster said that if tomorrow's arms robbery is done well, we will be very busy next. We need to train everyone to become agents. In one month, they will be able to lurk directly in various towns.
, in the county town, the stationmaster will conduct a trial on them."
"Well, aren't we an action team?"
"Action Team, Section Chief Chen Da, we are the Central Command, not a guerrilla force, but an action team, so this time the station commander asked me to bring a message, we must train well, we only have one month, and apart from this operation,
Let us train with all our strength." Yu Xiong looked at Dong Jie.
Dong Jie also nodded and responded directly.
"Okay, now let's discuss the next action plan. We now have twenty-six war horses. Except for the five horses left for communication, the rest will be used for this battle."
Next, a few people put the matter aside and began to discuss how to rob the Japanese arms.
…
The next day, Zhang Tianhao came to the office as usual before eight o'clock in the morning. At this time, the office was still a little busy, and Kara was standing upstairs looking at the people coming in below, with no expression on her face.
"Qin, you're here!"
"Kara, it's quite cold outside, come in!" Zhang Tianhao's face turned pale from the cold, obviously he came a little early.
"It's okay. I want to take a look. The new consul will arrive the day after tomorrow. In these two days, I have to get things done. At least I can't tell the new consul about the problem."
The original office opposite has already begun to be demolished. It is estimated that it will take at least several days to demolish it and then lay the foundation to build a house.
"Qin, Mr. William has left!"
‘I know, Fred told me yesterday that I may become dispensable in the next period of time!’ Zhang Tianhao smiled faintly, but his face was still full of helplessness.
"The new ambassador will bring his domestic translator with him, and I will gradually hand over the work within two or three months to give the new secretary a buffer time."
A trace of helplessness also flashed across Kara's face, but she still tried to keep her tone calm. It seemed that she was a little dissatisfied with William's departure and the new ambassador.
"Then what's my plan?"
"Your arrangement seems to be to help me do things now. There are three desks in our office. You sit on the front one, while another secretary and I sit on the two behind. Your contract is until the end of the year, so
You can work until December 31st. As for the next step, it depends on the new consul."
"Then if I get fired at that time, I will take a break. After all, this year, the pace of work has been quite fast and the pressure is very high. If I don't relax, I may be crushed. However,
After more than half a year, I still want to thank you."
"You're welcome, you did better than I expected, and you are very easy to understand in many aspects. Even if you are a new translator, it will probably take a long time to adapt to the three languages of China, Japan and Germany here. If something else comes up
Unexpectedly, I may still need you."
"It's okay. As long as I work here, I will still cooperate."
He had nothing to say.
"By the way, Qin, you don't have to go to work in the morning. Please tidy up your personal belongings in your room. After all, you don't live in the office. The new secretary will have a private room. Do you think that's okay?"
"no problem!"
He was also stunned. He didn't expect that it would be like this. His apartment here would be taken away, and his working hours here would also enter a countdown.
October 5th, time flies by.
"Okay, but I still want to thank you. After all, I'm a little embarrassed to ask you to move out."
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter. Besides, I really don't need this apartment. It's normal for a new secretary to come here. Then I'll sit here for a while and then go back and clean up."
"By the way, I've been driving your new car for a while. You can take the key. After all, your car is yours, and mine belongs to the office."
"good!"
He took the car key, and then handed over the original car key to Kara. The two of them stood directly on the high platform, looking at the office staff coming and going below. No one spoke, but kept silent.
kind of posture.
The wind blew on their faces, taking away the original enthusiasm and making their hearts slowly calm down.
Fred below was standing on the roadside, checking the people entering, and even checking whether any suspicious persons would sneak in.
Zhang Tianhao had already felt a sense of strangeness in the office where he used to feel friendly. At least, he found that there was already a slight barrier between him and this office. The original feeling of integration had already left his mind.
disappear.
After all, he is just a Chinese and has no status here. The original status he had here is almost useless.
