"Oh, where does this big shot come from? He dares to make such sarcastic remarks and reduce Jinan people to the dirt? Then I won't agree to it - I won't agree to it!"
A gust of wind blew by, and a slender-waisted woman wearing a green and silver cheongsam suddenly sat on the bench opposite Yu Shutong.
Yu Shutong drew his gun, and the woman drew her sword.
Before the safety of the gun was opened, the woman's willow leaf dagger was already pressed against Yu Shutong's Adam's apple.
"Don't move, if you move you will become a dead person!"
Before Chen Baoxiang could see clearly, it happened.
The rabbit rises and the falcon falls, as fast as lightning and flint.
Yu Shutong was very embarrassed and could only slowly put down the pistol.
The opponent made a superior move, and he believed that he was the fastest shooter in the Sharpshooter Club. He didn't take anyone seriously, and he finally failed.
Chen Baoxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and it turned out to be the mysterious woman from Yuqian cheongsam shop.
"Jinan people can only speak for themselves and will not tolerate other people's nonsense. Boss Chen is honest and unwilling to slap you in the face. Now, tell the truth, are you admitting defeat this time?"
The woman's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she held the willow leaf dagger in her right hand, the tip of the knife not moving at all.
Without ten or eight years of practice, of course you wouldn't be able to develop such unshakable arm strength.
"I admit defeat."
Yu Shutong admitted it generously and was not lying.
"Go away, don't belittle Jinan people in the future on Jinan's territory, remember?"
The woman put away the knife, and Yu Shutong stood up suddenly, grabbed the pistol on the table, and put it into his pocket.
"You haven't asked me your name yet?"
"Jinan people are connected with the city's jade."
Yu Shutong walked out, and the stiff atmosphere in the store suddenly relaxed.
Chen Baoxiang thanked him repeatedly and made tea for him.
"Boss Chen, I actually have to thank you. Last night, you stood outside my store to save me a lot of trouble. Someone was watching me, and when you left, they followed you all the way to Xigendao Street. Hahahaha
, I don’t know if you did it intentionally or not. Anyway, thank you very much.”
Chen Baoxiang was stunned. He thought his whereabouts last night were unnoticed, but he never expected that they were all under the surveillance of others.
"Your Mightiness--"
"My full name is Lianchengbi."
"Miss Lian, I didn't see anything last night. Besides, even if I saw something, I wouldn't say anything about it, so please don't worry."
Liancheng has bright eyes, white teeth, and a straight nose. You can tell at a glance that she is a lady.
However, even Chen Baoxiang admired the way she had just drawn the sword to force him.
"Okay, we are all from Jinan. We don't lie when we speak. I believe you."
Lian Chengbi smiled, his eyebrows curved, and his smile was moving.
"I'm here to tell you, don't misunderstand what I have in mind for Gu Lanchun, the big Qingyi girl. You are a theater fan, just watch the theater and don't think of yourself as a character in the play. Gu Lanchun is not the Iron Mirror Princess.
You are not Yang Yanhui, the fourth general of the Yang family, do you understand?"
Lianchengbi was very articulate, and when he said these words, Chen Baoxiang immediately blushed, and was suddenly touched by the other party.
"I just...I just gave people supper last night...no other meaning. I walked through Jinju Lane and arrived at Furong Street Furong Spring..."
Lian Chengbi waved his hand: "Boss Chen, what do you think is the greatest advantage of us Jinan people?"
"What is it?"
"Our greatest advantage is our unity. Jinan people never lie to Jinan people. Let me tell you, if you are a rich man and a big boss, you can publicly support actors and pay a lot of money to support them, but I think you are not a rich person and cannot play with rich people.
That’s what money people do, right?”
Chen Baoxiang was a little ashamed, he was indeed not a rich man.
Even if you go to the Grand View Garden to watch a theater, you still have to weigh the price of the seats in the front and back rows.
He wanted to praise Gu Lanchun, but he probably wasn't qualified.
"Boss Chen, I don't know how many people praise her over there in the capital. The famous top ten young men in the capital, the four famous families, the twelve famous people in the Qing Dynasty... there are too many, and she can't even take care of them. So, I am
Jinan people, I don’t want to see you in a dilemma. From today on, don’t worry about anything about Gu Lanchun, okay?”
Chen Baoxiang understood every word Lianchengbi said, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Every word was like a sewing needle piercing his heart.
"Yes, I understand, I understand. Thank you Miss Lian for your advice."
He cupped his fists and raised his hands, feeling even more helpless.
Lian Chengbi stood up: "Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. Just go about your rice shop business. Don't think too much about anything else, don't ask too much, and don't care too much. It's a chaotic world now, and we old Jinan people are all
We must live well and wait until this city is returned to our own hands——"
"Chief Han is dead, who can lead the troops to fight back?"
Chen Baoxiang heard news from the Jianghu that Chief Han failed to supervise the battle, abandoned the city and fled, and was publicly executed.
"Haha, without Zhang Butcher, can we only eat pigs with hair on them? Are you really——Boss Chen, are you stupid? What did Chief Han give you? Did he give you money or land? He is dead,
Do we Jinan people deserve to be tortured to death by the Japanese?"
Chen Baoxiang was speechless. He remembered that when he heard the news of Chief Han's execution for the first time, he felt sad for a while.
A bird cannot fly without a head, and a man cannot walk without a head.
Many people in Jinan believed that the Japanese could be driven away only if Chief Han brought his people back to kill them.
"Gone, gone."
Lian Chengbi walked out calmly and headed west.
Chen Baoxiang looked at her back and suddenly felt that he was really a coward and had stained the tiger on his chest in vain.
As Yu Shutong said, the Japanese are so arrogant, where are the descendants of the Liangshan heroes? Why haven't they jumped out to kill the Japanese, kill them all, and let the people live a good life?
"This world... endure it, endure it!"
He sat in the shop, looking out through the gap in the cotton curtain, and sat blankly for a long time.
He didn't continue to clear the tables and chairs until the hot blood in his chest cooled down.
In the evening, when Chen Xiuer came back, Chen Baoxiang and his wife asked together and finally found out the truth.
"Two gangsters grabbed my pigtails. Later, some people with their faces covered came out of the alley and beat the two gangsters until they couldn't get up. They almost beat them to death. Those people stepped on the gangsters' stomachs and told them who dared to bully them.
Jinan people just don’t want to live anymore... I’m afraid, so I don’t dare to say anything.”
Chen Baoxiang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was right about the Sharpshooter Club.
The heroes of the Gunslingers Club do not lie. Right is right and wrong is wrong. They are heroes and good men, and their grudges are clear.
"Xiu'er, if something happens outside in the future, you must tell your parents and we will find a solution."
Chen Xiuer blushed: "A big brother also said the same thing. After the gangster was knocked down, he passed by me and told me the same thing. He was wearing a white gown and a top hat, he was very free and easy!"
According to his daughter's description, Chen Baoxiang judged that it was Yu Shutong.
After pressing this matter, Chen Baoxiang once again reflected on what Wu Yixiao said about "taking the birthday card out of hand".
Yu Shutong made it clear that the gold belonged to the Sharpshooter Club, and if anyone else dared to interfere, they would die.
However, the news brought by Wu Yixiao was that the gold belonged to the Eighth Front Army, and the sharp gun would fight for it, which was also a taboo in the world.
"There are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, and every mountain is higher than the other. Jinan people have to go to Peking and Shanghai to open their eyes and understand the changes in the world -"
