"Okay, okay, don't say any more. It makes my head spin! You said that your bright section chief also fell into the water sooner or later, but he fell down at this juncture, but it caused me terrible harm.
ah!"
Now Acheng stopped, "Hey, I'm talking about Adjutant Liu, you can't say that! Our section chief is not a god, who would have thought that it would snow so much this year? Besides, our section chief is not a god.
He didn't fall into the water on purpose. To put it bluntly, he doesn't know that we are freezing here. If he knew, he would wake up in a hurry. Believe it or not."
"I believe it! Of course I believe it! Brother Acheng, brother, what I just said are all angry words, don't take it to heart. I'm not afraid of your jokes if I say it. I'm really not as smart as your section chief. I thought back then.
When your section chief was still here, you would distribute grain, oil, rice and noodles every now and then, and you would always find ways to give us some welfare benefits. But now it’s better, we have no grain, oil, rice, noodles and welfare, and we still have to go hungry every day.
Frozen! Who in the entire headquarters doesn’t hope that your section chief will wake up soon? Why did this section chief fall into the water after everything was fine?"
Acheng naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity to provoke, so after hearing this, he immediately took a cautious look at the door, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and said: "Adjutant Liu, to be honest with you, I
I have long thought that the fact that our section chief fell into the water is too weird!"
"Oh? Really?" Adjutant Liu became more energetic after hearing this, "Quickly, tell me carefully, what's weird about it?"
"You think about it, our section chief also took a boat to and from Hong Kong when he was in Shanghai. The bumps and waves on the sea were much greater than those in West Lake, right? But our section chief didn't feel any discomfort at all.
When I was alone on that boat, I fell into the water for no apparent reason. Do you think... was there something unclean on that boat? I heard that the previous owner of that boat seemed to have died a violent death."
I am afraid that even Li Qiang would have a hard time imagining how convincing Ah Cheng would be when he talks nonsense with a serious face.
So under Acheng's deliberate guidance, Lieutenant Liu also began to analyze it seriously with a solemn face, "Brother Acheng, don't tell me that this is really impossible to say. Although I don't really believe in this kind of thing, as the old saying goes
It's better to believe that something exists than to believe something doesn't exist. That's good. I'll find some monks from Lingyin Temple to do rituals tomorrow and help you remove the bad luck on the ship. Maybe Section Chief Ming can wake up soon.
coming."
"That's good, then I'll thank you in advance on behalf of our section chief!"
"There's no need to thank me. If your section chief could wake up in time, you would be a great help to me." At this point, Adjutant Liu rolled his eyes and started to provoke him as well, "But having said that, Director Cao also
It’s quite acceptable. I don’t know what he is thinking about giving such an unlucky boat as a gift!”
"No way? I don't think Director Cao sent such an unlucky boat to our section chief on purpose, right?"
"Why not? If even you know something, does that person named Cao know? That's nonsense!"
"This..." After hearing what Adjutant Liu said, Acheng really couldn't say anything to refute.
"How's it going? You have nothing to say?" Adjutant Liu said proudly, "I know people like Director Cao best. On the surface, they are friendly with you, but secretly they attack you. This kind of person is the most
It’s disgusting! But don’t worry, this little trick can only be done behind the scenes and cannot be seen in the light. As long as..."
"Adjutant Liu, is this possible? Will people say that we are destroying the internal unity of the headquarters?" After hearing Adjutant Liu's method, Acheng couldn't help but said with a worried look on his face.
Adjutant Liu waved his hand without thinking, "How could it be? How could this undermine internal unity? This is called eliminating potential dangers within the headquarters! Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will go to Lingyin Temple right away."
After saying that, Adjutant Liu immediately stood up and walked out.
Ah Cheng hurriedly chased after him and said urgently: "Adjutant Liu, what about the gasoline..."
"Hey, Section Chief Ming's matter is the most important thing right now. I'll talk about the rest when I get back!"
…
Not to mention that although Adjutant Liu's connections and connections were not as good as those of Li Qiang, who came to Hangzhou at almost the same time as him, he was surprisingly efficient at doing things. That night, he attracted a large group of monks from Lingyin Temple.
A ritual ceremony was performed on that cruise ship in a very high-profile manner.
The ritual was performed for three days in a row, and on the morning of the fourth day, Li Qiang miraculously woke up! For a moment, everyone in the headquarters was happy and excited, running around to tell each other, and the previous gloom and gloom seemed to be gone.
Even the cold is no longer as unbearable as before.
"Section Chief, Adjutant Liu is here to visit you!" Li Qiang was in the room with his eyes closed to rest, when Acheng walked in with Adjutant Liu and said.
"Chief Ming, thank God you are awake. The commander has been talking about you during this time!"
Li Qiang sighed heavily after hearing this, "Hey! It's all my fault for not being careful. I fell into the water out of nowhere and made Commander Qian and everyone in the headquarters worry about me. I feel really bad!"
"Chief Ming, if you say this, you are going too far. To be honest, there is not a day when everyone does not miss you, Chief Ming. As soon as they heard that you were awake, they all rushed to visit you, but they all let
The commander stopped us."
"The commander did the right thing. If everyone runs towards me, wouldn't everything be in chaos?"
"Isn't that true? So the commander sent me to visit you on behalf of his old man and everyone in the headquarters. I hope Section Chief Ming can understand it more!"
Li Qiang smiled and said, "It's okay, Adjutant Liu, the commander is doing this to take the overall situation into consideration. I can understand it."
"I can rest assured that."
"By the way, Adjutant Liu, I heard from Acheng that it was you who specially hired help from Lingyin Temple to perform rituals for three days, and that's why I woke up so quickly, right?"
However, before he finished speaking, Adjutant Liu deliberately made a serious face and said in a lecturing tone: "Well, Cheng! Are you too quick to talk? You can't hide anything. Didn't you promise to keep it a secret for me?
Of?"
Cheng also had an innocent look on his face, "Adjutant Liu, you don't blame me! I've been doing rituals for three days in a row, and the place is full of the smell of incense and candles. The section chief even thought we were cooking for him again."
What's going on! I can only tell the truth!"
"This... okay! This reason is reasonable. Remember, it won't be the same next time!" Adjutant Liu was not really angry, so he just walked down the slope, waved to Li Qiang and said, "Hey, it's all a trivial matter.
, it’s just a little effort, not worth mentioning! Not worth mentioning!”
"Hey, Adjutant Liu, you can't say that. It may be just a trivial matter to you, but it means a lot to me. If you hadn't done your best to organize this ceremony for me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it until now.
He’s still unconscious! Brother, I can’t possibly repay you for this kindness!”
Hearing this, Lieutenant Liu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said sincerely: "Chief Ming, our family does not speak the same language, and I do all this for no other reason. I just hope you can get better soon. As long as you
If you can return to your job as soon as possible, you will be repaying my kindness."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang couldn't help being stunned, and asked knowingly: "Adjutant Liu, where did you start with these words? Did something happen in the headquarters?"
"It's not just an accident, it's almost freezing to death!" Adjutant Liu seemed to have finally found an outlet, and simply regarded Li Qiang as the person to confide in, pouring out his bitterness.
"I didn't expect that such a big thing happened while I was in coma." After listening to Adjutant Liu's complaint, Li Qiang said with emotion, "Don't worry, Adjutant Liu, please go back and tell Commander Qian that I will go back tomorrow.
work."
"Really? That's great!" Adjutant Liu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said ecstatically, but then he frowned again, "But Chief Ming, your body..."
"Compared with the interests and internal unity of the entire command, what does my personal body mean?"
"Section Chief Ming, to be honest, through this incident, I have completely admired you and am in awe. Don't worry, after I get back, I will suggest to the commander that the General Affairs Section be upgraded to the General Affairs Office. Let's see who dares to despise you in the future.
"
"Isn't this... inappropriate?"
"Why is it inappropriate? After a heavy snowfall, everyone felt like they were in the clear mirror. Anyone can be missing from this headquarters, but you, Chief Ming, can't be missing! It's just that the Japanese side is more troublesome, but it's okay
It’s not a big problem, don’t worry, everyone is supporting you! Okay, it’s almost time, so I’ll go back first and won’t disturb your rest.”
"Okay, walk slowly, Adjutant Liu." Li Qiang nodded quickly and said, "A Cheng, help me see off Adjutant Liu."
Shortly after Adjutant Liu left, Acheng accidentally noticed a figure lingering near Jixian Pavilion.
"Hey! Director Cao? What are you..."
"Nothing, I just heard that your Section Chief Ming woke up, so I came over to take a look. How is it? Is Section Chief Ming feeling better?"
Acheng deliberately kept a calm face and said calmly: "Director Cao, you also know that our section chief has been in a coma for so long and is still very weak. He almost had to force himself up and just barely said a few words to Assistant Liu.
In short, if you want to go in to visit now, I'm afraid..."
"I understand, I understand. In fact, I have no other intention of coming here this time. I just want to apologize to Section Chief Ming in person."
"Apologise? Director Cao, where do you start with these words?"
"A-Cheng, we are all smart people, so don't pretend to be confused here on purpose. In the past few days, there have been rumors in the headquarters that I deliberately gave that evil ship to your Chief Ming.
…”
He didn't want to finish his words, but he actually made Acheng laugh, "I'm talking about Director Cao, don't you think that our section chief would believe those baseless rumors so easily, right? That's too underestimated of us.
Are you the section chief?"
"Well...that's true, but after all, people's words can be feared!"
"Director Cao, it's not nice to say that you are humble because of your position. The more you act like this, the more those rumors become true!"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Yan immediately looked solemn, and after a long while he said as if he had made up his mind: "Well, you are right. I didn't think carefully, but even so, I still trouble you to help me.
Tell Section Chief Ming that I, Cao Yan, am upright and not afraid of the shadow, and I will definitely use practical actions to dispel those malicious rumors! Farewell!"
"You walk slowly!"
After finally sending Cao Yan off, he saw Haitang hurriedly coming towards him in a rickshaw from a distance.
"What are you so happy about?" As soon as Haitang got off the rickshaw, Cheng stepped forward and asked.
"Of course it's a good thing. I just received a call from the Yuhang Warehouse. The cotton clothes the team leader ordered from the Northeast have arrived. He told us to send someone to pick them up as soon as possible!"
As soon as these words came out, Ah Cheng's heart suddenly jumped up, because this "must send someone to pick up the goods as soon as possible" was actually a code word. Only when a particularly major change occurred, the warehouse would notify him in this way.
What's even more terrible is that Yu Mei, who was in the warehouse, did not wait until after dark to send a notification, but directly called Haitang's office. It is not difficult to judge that the situation at this time must be particularly urgent. It took half a day to
There is no time to wait.
But Cheng couldn't guess what happened, so he simply took over the task of picking up the goods and drove to the Yuhang warehouse as quickly as possible.
However, when Ah Cheng hurriedly arrived at the warehouse, he only saw stones there. He couldn't help but feel a little in his heart: Could it be that something happened to Yu Mei?
Thinking of this, Acheng quickly asked: "Stone! Why are you alone, and where is Yu Mei?"
"Miss...Miss, she...is gone!"
"Gone? Where did you go?"
"Wannan."
Now Cheng was even more confused, "Wannan? I said, can you please stop asking me to ask you a question? What happened? Why did Yu Mei go to Wannan?"
"Oh." Hearing this, Shitou nodded dully and said, "That's right, early this morning, we received a telegram from the organization, saying that we suddenly lost contact with the New Fourth Army headquarters that was actually on the way to transfer.
We asked the nearby lurking team to help confirm the situation. But not long after, we received another urgent call. After reading it, the lady panicked. After finally calming down, she immediately started to pack her things and take them with her.
After a few days of water and dry food, we left."
"Leaving in such a hurry? What about that phone call just now?"
"The lady asked me to type it before she left, and she also left you a letter." As he said this, Shitou took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Cheng's hand.
