Ben Leihu came very quickly, but it was no longer possible for him to catch the book boy.
"I don't know, what do you want me to say? I just came back from the Furong Street Inn, and Master Jiu said that this matter is irreversible!"
"Fart, take refuge with the Japanese, it will embarrass the sharpshooter, can we just let it go?"
Chen Baoxiang couldn't explain it, and he didn't want to explain it either.
Yu Shutong's surrender to the enemy was a problem that the Gunslingers Association needed to solve, and he already had enough troubles of his own that he was simply too busy to handle.
"Fourth Leader, forget it. I'm just an ordinary citizen. You are from the Jianghu. We don't offend each other, so just let me go..."
Chen Baoxiang was dizzy. He could still talk to a smart person like Luo Hongying, but when he met a rough guy like Ben Leihu, he couldn't handle it.
He thought of Yu Shutong, how could such a charming young man surrender to the enemy?
"Chen, take me in and let me search it!"
Originally, Chen Baoxiang was afraid of frightening Liu Yuee and did not want such a vicious spirit to come in. However, if he was not allowed to search today, he would not be able to pass the test.
He opened the back door, and Ben Leihu led four people straight in.
Of course Yu Shutong is not here. What Ben Leihu and the others are doing is not even considered to be making up for the situation, it is simply messing around.
If you do this in Jinan City, you will very likely run into a Japanese cage, be caught directly, and never have a chance to survive.
"Search, search, this kid is hiding here!"
Chen Baoxiang listened to the roar of the thundering tiger and looked up at the white frost on the eaves.
He felt that the truth was like frost and tiles.
When the sun comes out, the frost flowers disappear, revealing the original color of the tile ridges.
The same is true in the world of Jinan. All the impetuous things recede, leaving only the true heroes.
At that time, everyone can sit down and discuss seriously, how can we solve the problem of life and death?
In Chen Baoxiang's view, gold and leading cars are not big problems.
What is currently in front of all the common people are the enemy's bayonets and wolf dogs. If we don't solve these problems and just focus on the treasure, what's the point?
After Ben Leihu searched, he took the people and left.
Chen Baoxiang looked at the backs of these people and was full of worries about the future of the Sharpshooter Club.
A general without a plan will exhaust a thousand troops to death.
People like Ben Leihu are not suitable to appear in Jinan City.
Only smart people can live well in Jinan City.
"Master, what happened again?"
Chen Baoxiang shook his head. He couldn't explain it to Liu Yuee.
These things are too complicated. Zhao Wuji took the initiative to be arrested. I don't know if it was a clever move or a bad move. In short, the Sharpshooter Club has already taken action, and the Eighth Front Army is also on its way.
The whole night, Chen Baoxiang did not sleep a wink.
When Zao Wou-Ki was arrested, he had a calm and peaceful expression on his face, as if he was going not to a devil's cave that eats people without spitting out their bones, but to a place with pleasant scenery and relaxation.
Before dawn, he heard the sound of night walkers trampling on the tiles.
He hoped that all the people in the world would target Luoyuan Mansion and turn it upside down.
"Master, there have been several Zhangqiu fellows in the store in the past few days. I heard that their accents were very familiar, and they took the initiative to chat. They said that the Japanese built five blockhouses in Zhangqiu, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Some of the fellows fled to the mountains.
, the Japanese set up cannons and bombed the hilltop, killing a dozen more..."
Chen Baoxiang hummed, he had heard this news a long time ago.
"Head of the family, I'm thinking, when will this kind of life end? Chuanwen and Chuanwu are both old, can you think of a way to build them a house, find a wife, let them get married early, and leave children?"
Liu Yue'e sighed repeatedly and grabbed Chen Baoxiang's hand.
Her hands were rough from washing pots and dishes all the time.
"Don't be in a hurry, look for it slowly, and let us know if you find something suitable."
Chen Baoxiang feels that one should not be short-sighted in life, his two sons are very promising, and important matters such as marriage should not be dealt with haphazardly.
"Master, this morning, two magpies were hopping around on the eaves and calling for a long time. In the afternoon, I saw them eating grass and building a nest on the top of the sycamore tree outside the two children's house. You said,
Is this a good sign?"
When magpies chirp, good things are sure to come.
According to Jinan people's customs, it is an absolute happy event when magpies come to build a nest at home.
"Okay, okay..."
Chen Baoxiang's depressed heart seemed to have opened up a little. A bit of happiness could finally dilute some of the depression.
Someone was running on the street outside, followed by the roar of the Japanese: "Baga, catch him, he's dead..."
Chen Baoxiang suddenly sat up and listened with his ears straightened up.
The sound of gunshots and shouts went from west to east and soon disappeared.
"Oh, I hear this kind of noise every night. I don't know if it's a dream or if something really happened. My boss, I originally hoped that I couldn't stay in Jinan City anymore. Let's go back to Zhangqiu. My old house can still be lived in. There are several acres of mountain land.
We could also pack some food, but now it’s all gone, it’s all in vain.”
As Liu Yue'e spoke, she suddenly choked up, turned over, lay on the pillow, and cried.
"The whole city of Jinan is the same, it's not like our family. Don't cry. Zhangqiu is full of stone mountains. The devils also understand that oil can't be squeezed out of the stones, so it doesn't make much sense to build gun towers there. Don't worry,
When Zhangqiu is safe, we will go back."
Having said that, Chen Baoxiang's family has been in Jinan City for more than ten years. They are rooted here and cannot move.
When the window sill saw light, Chen Baoxiang got up.
According to custom, he went to the woodshed first.
I really didn't expect that Yu Shutong was actually inside.
"You-why are you still here?"
Chen Baoxiang smiled bitterly. He thought that as long as he surrendered to the Japanese, he would rise to the top in one step and live a good life. He would no longer have to hide and be in fear.
Therefore, Yu Shutong does not need to hide here, he can just find an inn and stay there without hesitation.
"Boss Chen, I'm waiting for someone here."
The sun has not yet risen, and there is only a layer of fish belly white in the eastern sky.
The light in the woodshed was very dim, and Chen Baoxiang couldn't see Yu Shutong's face clearly, but he felt that Yu Shutong's voice was very cold, without any warmth.
"Did you defect to the Japanese?"
"He who knows the current affairs is a hero, isn't he?"
"Jinan people do not welcome Japanese, especially traitors!"
Chen Baoxiang held on to the door frame and tried to straighten his waist.
He knew that Yu Shutong carried a gun with him. If he said something wrong and offended the other party, he might be killed on the spot.
However, this sentence must be said, and Yu Shutong must know that he, Chen Baoxiang, hates the Japanese. This is an sworn national hatred.
"Boss Chen, stop pretending."
Yu Shutong laughed, lit a Hardman cigarette, and blew out a smoke ring.
"Boss Chen, why are you working for the Sharpshooter Association, the Eighth Front Army, and Wanhua Building? To kill the Japanese...No, you are just doing it for money and to save your life. In troubled times, who is not like this?
Therefore, no one is more honorable than anyone else... What's so great about Jinan people? Is it honorable for Chief Han to abandon the city and flee? Is it honorable for Jinan people to serve the Japanese while being stepped on by the Japanese?"
"roll--"
Chen Baoxiang took a step back and pointed to the back door.
He couldn't stand the ridicule of the book boys because some Jinan people did start to bend under the force of the Japanese bayonets.
As a Jinan native, he looked down on such people, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Jinan's ancestors all said that one has to bow one's head when under the roof of others.
Nowadays, the Japanese family is the only one in power, and it is not a sin to bow to them.
"I'm waiting for someone to borrow your woodshed for another day."
Yu Shutong took out his gun and pointed it at Chen Baoxiang.
He was so straightforward, which saved everyone a lot of debate.
Chen Baoxiang had no choice but to let the book boy stay in the woodshed.
At lunch time, Liu Yue'e took the initiative to bring food to Yu Shutong. After all, the other party had saved Xiu'er, and no one could deny this.
"Tell him to leave as soon as possible after dinner. Someone is coming to seek revenge. He searched him once yesterday and will definitely come again today."
Chen Baoxiang didn't want anything to happen to Shutong here. It will be unclear in the future.
Before you know it, it's getting dusk and another day has passed.
Chen Baoxiang sat in front of the counter and collected the accounts for the past half month. As Liu Yue'e said, business has improved a lot, and many new faces have been added. It seems that Jinan City has also become more lively and crowded.
As soon as the door opened, a man wearing a black cotton robe and a black polite head came in with his neck shrunken.
Chen Baoxiang looked calm on the surface, but suddenly became nervous inside.
He didn't know if Yu Shutong was waiting for Bigong?
Bi Gong sat down in front of the stove, took off his hat, and didn't even look at Chen Baoxiang.
Outside, there were several men in black, all following Bi Gong.
Chen Baoxiang silently made tea and placed it on the table next to Bi Gong.
"Old Chen, you did a good job!"
Bi Gong shook his head and said half a sentence, then fell silent again.
Chen Baoxiang smiled bitterly, not knowing what the other party meant.
In short, no matter what Bi Gong came to do, he would not challenge him, let alone reveal any information about other people.
However, what he was most worried about happened.
Yu Shutong came out of the backyard and sat directly opposite Bi Gong.
He raised his head respectfully and looked at the book boy.
"You are good at using spears. The shoulder socket of your right arm is slumped. It is a habit developed by holding the butt of the gun. Boy, that's right. You have been using spears for more than eight years. Are you an Orion or a general family?"
"I dare not insult our family. There is no need to ask any more questions, senior. I caught the traffic officer from Zhaoyuan. He can tell you what is going on on that route."
Bi Gong laughed: "Hahahaha, you kid, you are quick enough? No wonder the military camp in Zhangqiu was empty. Tell me, what are the conditions?"
Chen Baoxiang was a bystander and had nothing to do with this matter.
However, it is extremely shameful for the Chinese to ruin the good deeds of the Chinese people by doing such a thing to Shutong.
"Over in Peiping, there was Professor Liang who was arrested by the military police. Also arrested at the same time was his daughter. Those are my friends. My only request is to let them go and let them join me in Jinan.
"
Chen Baoxiang looked at Yu Shutong's profile and wished he could turn the abacus in his hand into a dart and shoot the dart at Shutong's temple, killing him directly.
"That's simple. You tell me the names and addresses of Professor Liang and his daughter, and I'll call them there. Everything will be fine."
