When Cao Yuba drove the car to the Haihe River in the night, he had wiped off the white powder on his face but did not get out of the car. He just lit a cigarette again and looked quietly at the river in the distance and the still-moving scenery.
Poor people working by the river.
"Miss, what should we do?" Jasmine finally couldn't bear the worry and asked in a lowered voice.
"What should I do?" the drunk Meixiang asked casually.
"That ghost Ueda..."
“This is a good thing”
Meixiang's attitude was still absent-minded, as if all her attention was outside the window.
"What...what do you mean?" Jasmine asked blankly.
"Ueda is using me to build a bridge, so why can't I use Ueda to enjoy the shade?"
Meixiang said with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "It's actually easy. As long as we can hide it from Ueda, no matter what we do, the Japanese will not suspect us."
Having said this, Mei Xiang blew out a cloud of smoke out the window, pointed at the poor people outside, and said in an increasingly careless tone, "It's just a matter of getting some notoriety and being a bitch who doesn't hate the country's subjugation in their eyes."
"Miss..."
Just as Mei Xiang was about to say something, a milk-white car also passed the car they were riding in and slowly stopped on the roadside directly in front.
"Okay, let's get our things and get off the car."
Meixiang said, and she was the first to open the car door, almost with her front and back legs. Wei Ran and Cao Yuba also opened the car door in sequence.
After Jasmine also carried the bunch of Japanese kimonos in the car and got down, Cao Duba also took out the things from the trunk, followed Mei Xiang and Wei Ran, and walked towards the milky white car that belonged to them.
"Mr. Sometani, Mrs. Junko, I have caused you trouble." Meixiang thanked each other in Japanese and at the same time bent down and bowed.
"You're welcome, Miss Meixiang"
Shunzi supported Meixiang, "You are willing to lend us the car, so we should thank you. Of course, we should also thank your cousin Wei Ran."
"You don't have to say it if you're polite."
Meixiang smiled and changed the subject, "Come to Shuyu to play bridge when you have time."
"We will go when we have free time."
Someya Junko accepted Meixiang's invitation, and her husband Someya Yukio got into their black Devil car and disappeared into the night.
"go home"
Meixiang, who smelled of alcohol, greeted Wei Ran and others, and was the first to get into the milk-white car that belonged to her.
She hurried back to the study apartment in silence all the way. Mei Xiang, who was drunk, waited for Wei Ran to lock the courtyard door, but then invited him, Cao Muba and Jasmine to go up to the second floor.
"Things have changed"
She had obviously vomited on the roadside after the dance. When she was at the beach, Meixiang, who was still drunk even before getting off the car, had particularly clear eyes at this moment, "I got an important piece of news at the dance today. I'm afraid the Japanese will focus on hunting her down."
The remaining anti-Japanese forces in Nam Khai University.
Although we are in the British Concession, the British are not as reliable as dogs on the roadside, so we must send Mr. Feng out of Tianjin as soon as possible."
Taking the sobering soup from Yang's mother, Meixiang took a big sip and continued, "Today I made an appointment with Mr. and Mrs. Someya and Walker to come to my house to play cards tomorrow afternoon. Later, Xiaoguan will also come to my house to borrow a car.
Cousin, when the time comes you have a few more drinks with them, especially with Mr. and Mrs. Someya."
"Get drunk?" Wei Ran immediately understood what the other party meant.
"At least get the couple under the table," Mei Xiang set the task for Wei Ran with a smile.
"No problem." Wei Ran paused and then said, "But aren't they your friends?"
"You have to make a fake show but also make it real"
Meixiang gave an ambiguous answer with a smile, but then added, "It's not easy for them to know about this, so I just let them help in a daze. This is also for their own good."
"Do you want Miss Andy to be sent away too?" Jasmine asked her concern.
"She doesn't have to"
Mei Xiang shook her head, "She is still needed in the basement, and she is not wanted, her legs and feet are inconvenient, and there is no one around her to take care of her, so let's keep her in the basement."
After saying this, Mei Xiang slightly shifted her gaze to Cao Mute, stood up and said in a very formal manner, "Uncle Mute, I have a favor that I need you to help me with."
Hearing this, Cao Duba immediately showed his attitude by gently hammering his chest with his fist.
Looking at the direction of the stairs, Mei Xiang lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Feng hasn't gotten over the pain of losing his wife yet. He will definitely have a lot of hardships while escaping. Uncle Mute, can you protect Mr. Feng and leave?"
?As short as three months, as long as half a year. During this period, you just need to take good care of Mr. Feng and protect him."
Hearing this, Cao Mute immediately became anxious and made babbling gestures.
"I know I know."
Meixiang comforted Cao Mute, "Look, Wei Ran is in the study room now, and Canhua is also there."
Hearing this, Cao Mute immediately used his hand to indicate the height of his chest, then pointed at Wei Ran and his right arm, and then waved his hands repeatedly.
"Canhua is not young anymore"
Meixiang said in a joking tone, "Besides, my cousin only suffered a fracture, not an amputation, so he will recover one day.
Besides, everyone in Jinmen who knows me, Tao Meixiang, doesn’t know that I have a sincere mute uncle beside me?
When you are by my side, others will definitely think that this love letter apartment is monolithic. Only when you leave temporarily will others relax their vigilance about our place."
Although this compliment barely dispelled Cao Mute's doubts, it was like pressing the gourd and letting the gourd rise. Therefore, before anyone else could speak, Wei Ran pursued the topic and asked, "Cousin, what are you going to do?"
?”
As soon as this question was raised, not only Cao Duba and Moli, but also Qiushi and Yang Ma who were listening on the side looked over.
Looking at the people around her, Mei Xiang drank up the hangover soup in the bowl, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, lit a cigarette and said slowly, "During those few days hiding in the basement, Mr. Feng taught me and
Andy makes some sense.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although I, Tao Meixiang, am a singing prostitute and dancer who is not even an actress, Andy and I also want to fight for the country with righteousness like the Guan brothers and sisters.
I only went to a British church school for a few years, and Andy went to school a few more years than I did. But we have been stuck in a romantic relationship these years, and it is probably not qualified to join Linglu's female classmates.
Therefore, we no longer want to join the Girls' Alumni Association. We just want to do our best to help those children who are not even a few years older than Qiushi, even if it is just to give them a place to hide in the basement.
You see, they dare to go to the streets to demonstrate and fight against the Japanese at such a young age. How do we, who are so many years older, have the qualifications to enjoy peace of mind in this book apartment?
Instead of living in such a muddle-headed way and living like a homeless bitch in the eyes of others, I would rather do something useful to this country in spite of the infamy than wait a hundred years later to be poked in the back like Qin Huier.
!”
"Miss, let me help you." Jasmine was the first to stand up and said, "No matter what you do, I will help you."
"Daughter, I will help you too."
Yang Ma tightened her grip on her apron, and then kicked her nephew Wei Ran, "If you are a coward, pack your things and buy a boat ticket for me tonight and go back to Germany."
"My home is not in Germany"
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he looked at Mei Xiang and expressed his attitude very solemnly, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country."
"Bang bang" Cao Dumb hit his chest very solemnly.
Seeing this, Mei Xiang smiled and said, "Let's get down to business. When the card game ends tomorrow, Uncle Mute, you can drive Somegu and his wife's car to take them home. Then Yang Ma will take my hint and find an opportunity to let Mr. Feng hide in advance.
Enter the trunk of Mr. and Mrs. Someya’s car.”
After a short pause, Meixiang continued, "In addition, Xiaoguan will drive away our car tomorrow night, pulling... Qiushi, then you and Canhua go sit in our car and let Xiaoguan pull you.
Take a nice trip to the Italian Concession.
Uncle Mute, when the time comes, take the drunken Somegu couple for a ride in the French Concession. Miss Linglu has already arranged for someone to pick you up in advance. Xiaoguan will tell you the specific location tomorrow.
After you meet in the French Concession, you can just take Mr. Feng and leave Tianjin through the channel arranged by Miss Linglu, and Mr. and Mrs. Someya will naturally have someone to drive them home."
After saying that, Mei Xiang waited for Cao Mute to nod, and immediately looked at Qiushi, "Go and get five small yellow croakers."
Hearing this, Qiushi immediately ran up to the third floor, and Meixiang continued, "For the public, I would say that I have arranged for the mute uncle to go to Citong Port to visit Andy.
Jasmine, Mother Yang, you are going to spread rumors to the outside world that my cousin Wei Ran is arrogant and domineering and has squeezed out the mute uncle who can't deal with him."
"Hey!" Jasmine and Yang's mother responded in unison.
"Autumn Fruit"
After Meixiang waited for Qiushi to come over with five small gold bars weighing one or two, she motioned for her to hand them to the dumb uncle and said, "You also need to spread the news. It was the dumb uncle who stole a few small yellow croakers from home and ran away."
Already."
"ah?"
Qiushi glanced at Cao Mute in embarrassment, but the latter nodded with an honest smile, and at the same time, he did not forget to shake the few small gold bars between his fingers.
"Okay...ok" Qiushi nodded, "I will..."
"Jasmine"
Mei Xiang didn't wait for Qiushi to finish before continuing to talk about the arrangement, "When the time comes, you ask Canhua to release the news to Zhitian, saying that it is probably my cousin Wei Ran who used the gold bars hidden in my room in order to squeeze Cao Mute away.
The one who framed him, Uncle Mute, couldn't bear the humiliation and chose to leave without saying goodbye."
"I will teach him clearly when the time comes." Jasmine nodded immediately.
"So be it"
After Mei Xiang finished speaking, she yawned, kicked off her shoes and walked upstairs barefoot while saying, "Everyone, please go to bed early."
"Miss, how come you have such a big head..." Jasmine couldn't help but muttered.
"Do you really think the lady came up with it on her own?"
Qiushi lowered her voice, wrinkled her nose and said, "Don't forget, there is a clever and clever fox living in our mouse hole!"
"Is it Miss Andy?" Jasmine immediately guessed who the fox was.
"No, who else could it be?" Qiushi whispered, "They had planned various situations in advance a few days ago."
"How is Miss Andy's situation?" Wei Ran asked in a timely manner.
"Same as the past few days, I haven't been in a good mood..."
Qiushi couldn't help but sigh when she talked about this, "Ever since Xu...since he left, Miss Andy has always blamed herself very much. She always felt that it was because she didn't deal with the wound well...
In short, she couldn't sleep every day these days, and sometimes she would smoke a whole pack of cigarettes in one night, and her voice would become hoarse."
"I'll go see her..." Wei Ran sighed inwardly, turned around, went downstairs, and got into the basement.
Pushing open the large mirror with increasing proficiency, Wei Ran entered the narrow passage, passed through the layers of cotton curtains hung in the passage these days, and finally stood at the entrance of the underground space.
Through the last cotton curtain, he could vaguely hear news reports about the current situation coming from the radio station. He could also clearly hear the sighs of Feng Maoyun and Uncle Meng, as well as the even breathing of Chen Xiuyu and Xu Keqin.
Slowly opening the curtain, Wei Ran saw at a glance, Uncle Meng, who was lying on the bed closest to one of the vents, and Feng Maoyun, who was sitting on the wire bed, guarding a radio placed on the stool between them.
Each person also held a cigarette in their hands.
A little further away, Chen Xiuyu and Xu Keqin were sleeping soundly on the canopy bed and the steel wire bed respectively. On the other side of the cotton curtain at the end of the room, the dim light clearly reflected a man smoking.
"Doctor Wei is here..."
Uncle Meng, who was lucky enough to survive, was the first to spot Wei Ran, followed closely by Feng Maoyun, who had his back to the door and turned his head to say hello.
"Shh-"
Wei Ran made a silent gesture, then smiled at the two of them, and raised his hand to point at the two sleeping children.
Seeing this, Uncle Meng and Feng Maoyun nodded and smiled at Wei Ran as a greeting. Wei Ran also walked lightly to the edge of the cotton curtain and tapped the curtain lightly with his knuckles.
After a moment, the thick curtain was opened to a gap, and Andy, with red eyes, hid inside and looked at Wei Ran. At the same time, there was a faint smell of alcohol flowing along the gap of the cotton curtain, along with the smoke.
Floated out.
"Where did you get the wine?" Wei Ran asked with a frown.
Hearing this, Andy picked up the glass bottle containing alcohol from the bedside medicine box and shook it. Then he picked up the pastel teapot, poured a cup of herbal tea with a strong alcohol smell and handed it to Wei Ran.
Wei Ran secretly sighed, took the tea cup through the curtain, drank the tea mixed with alcohol in one gulp, then put down the cup, picked it up horizontally under Andy's slightly surprised gaze, turned around and walked out
.
"What are you going to do?" Andy, with a drunken face, stretched out his hand to hook Wei Ran's neck and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Take you to sober up"
While Wei Ran was talking, Feng Maoyun also took the initiative to get up and help open the curtain of the door.
"Thanks"
Wei Ran thanked him gently, walked through the curtains, and finally stopped at the last two curtains away from the hole at the end of the passage. He placed Andy, who had both legs broken, on the wooden wooden stand against the wall.
Sit on the refrigerator.
"How are you going to sober me up?" Andy raised his head and looked at Wei Ran with a seductive expression, but there was a trace of vigilance hidden in those big drunken eyes.
When he didn't see the scalpel hidden in the other party's cuff, Wei Ran reached out and turned off the light above his head, slowly sat down against the wall in the dark, and said to himself, "In the past, there were also
Several children died in front of me."
"On the operating table?" Andy asked after a long silence.
Wei Ran shook his head, and after realizing that the other party couldn't see him, he suppressed his emotions and replied, "No."
"Tetanus too?" Andy asked painfully.
"Neither"
Wei Ran denied again, "There is a girl, I don't even know her name. She is smaller than Xu Kejian, thinner, and can't speak. When I met her, she had been hungry for a long time, probably
A long time."
"She...how did she die?" Andy asked cautiously.
"Grenade"
Wei Ran pressed the scar on the back of his head against the wall behind him, "She asked me to borrow two grenades to help me block the enemies chasing me. I...I forgot to ask her name, even
I didn’t take a photo of her, I had a camera in my hand at the time.”
"Stop talking... stop talking... stop talking!" Andy yelled at the top of his lungs, grabbing his hair hard and hitting the wall behind him.
"We can't save the innocent lives in the war"
Wei Ran said as calmly as possible, "No matter whether the innocent person is a man, a woman, an old man or a child, if he cannot be saved, he will not be saved."
"Stop talking!" Andy yelled.
"But we can find a way to end the war." After Wei Ran said, Andy trembled, his whole body became quiet, and then he burst into heart-wrenching tears.
"Cry it out"
Wei Ran staggered to his feet in the darkness, "When we have cried enough, we will work together to end this war!"
