724. The old film of the Republic of China (11) three in one
Old Movies of the Republic of China(11)
After being stranded in Nanjing for more than half a month, I finally bought a ticket on the black market. The price of a third-class seat doubled, and the price of a second-class seat quadrupled. And the ticket that Fourth Master managed to get was just a small ticket.
It's just a private room. It cost eighty oceans.
The hotel manager sent the ticket over, "We didn't take any part in it. We also used our connections to buy this ticket. Those bastards at the station, except for the tickets for the connections, they will not sell the rest at the station.
It's all thanks to these ticket sellers to inflate the ticket prices. There really aren't any private rooms like the one you mentioned. These government officials went to Luoyang one after another, but many family members felt that Nanjing was unsafe and they went there.
There are them everywhere. Such tickets are out of our hands."
Fourth Master handed the other party a few dollars: "This is not bad. Thank you for your hard work!"
The hottest period has passed, and it's a bit cool in the morning and evening. Even if there is no big box on such days, it doesn't matter. In fact, the small box is not that bad. It is an area of two or three square meters, and the couches are fixed on both sides. Although it is not
It is wide, but the length and width are still enough for one person to lie down on. Between the two sofas, there is a small table. The table is fixed under the car window, and the length is only one-third of the sofa factory.
The fourth master put the box in his hand under the table, looked inside and outside, and opened the box door. Outside was the corridor. The corridor was not wide and could only accommodate two people walking sideways. But even so, there were still people standing in the corridor.
There were quite a few people. I'm afraid these people didn't buy tickets, so they had to stand outside the corridor of the box to make ends meet. People passing by looked into the small box and couldn't help but feel a little envious. If this box is crowded,
Can seat one person.
Seeing many people looking inside, the fourth master pulled the door of the carriage shut. It wasn't that he didn't want to make things convenient for others, but in this chaotic situation, who knew what these people were like. Lin Yutong opened a crack in the window.
At least one side is ventilated. When the car starts to move, the disadvantages of this small box come out. It is not soundproof at all. If there is a little movement outside or next door, you can hear it clearly. This also means that you and yourself
When Fourth Master speaks, others can hear him clearly.
Lin Yutong took out two books and handed one to Fourth Master. The two of them leaned on the sofa, each reading his own book.
It was past twelve o'clock when we got on the bus, and when we got off at five or six o'clock, we were very hungry.
Fourth Master put down the book: "I'm going to the restaurant to buy food. Don't go out in the carriage." Outside, the two of them were always cautious.
Lin Yutong stuffed him with money again. The food in the car was not cheap.
The door of the box opened, and the Fourth Master came out and closed the door directly. There were people sitting in a row outside next to the car opposite. It was really difficult to get through here. It was not easy for people to sit like that.
It's comfortable. I couldn't straighten my legs before, but now I have to retract them even more.
However, one of these people is different from the others. This corridor is between the small box and the carriage wall on one side. Everyone is leaning against the opposite carriage wall, but there is only one wearing a straw hat and a white coarse cloth coat.
The person was leaning outside his private room. If he didn’t know, he thought he was the guy he was taking with him when he went out.
The fourth master looked at the man but didn't see him raise his head. The straw hat blocked his sight and he couldn't see the man's face clearly. He raised his eyebrows and walked over calmly. This carriage is next to the restaurant.
Without much trouble, a few steamed buns and a piece of braised pork came back. The aroma made everyone who smelled it couldn't help but sniff. It was time to eat, and they were all hungry.
After buying the food, Lin Yutong changed it directly. It was more comfortable to eat the food prepared at home.
The two of them didn't speak. Lin Yutong handed over the wet handkerchief and asked Fourth Master to intervene and prepare for the meal. The train roared suddenly and then slowed down. Then it moved slower and slower, and stopped completely after two minutes.
"Where are you?" Lin Yutong looked out the window. She really didn't know what station this was. In fact, the train at this time was quite deceptive, and the service quality could not be improved. For example, the small stations along the way. When they got there, he
The station is not announced. Some people are afraid that they have already sat on the train, so they give the conductor a little courtesy and ask them to call him when they arrive at the station. Therefore, as soon as the train stops, she is used to looking outside first. As a result, at dusk
, the sky is full of sunset, and there are wild mountains and wild grass outside. This is not a small station, this is simply a wilderness. There is no village in front of it and no store in the back. What are you doing here?
"We haven't arrived anywhere." The fourth master opened the door of the box, and everyone in the aisle outside stood up. Everyone was a little restless. No one came to explain why.
At this time, many voices of discussion came over.
"Why am I so unlucky that this happened again?"
"What's going on? Bandits are robbing them? They're digging up the railway, are they?"
"No! It's a shame that you came from Nanjing and don't even know this."
"I know this. We are making way for the nobles."
"Give way? Give way to what way? How about clearing the way? There has been no emperor for a long time. Who has such a big hand?"
"Ouch! You don't know. Hasn't our capital been moved to Luoyang now? But how can Luoyang accommodate so many government agencies? Moreover, Luoyang is a small county town. How can we provide important officials in such a hurry?
Providing luxurious official residences? That special train is much better than the simple one in Luoyang. So, everyone now works on their own special train."
"I know this. It's true. The facilities on the special train are more complete and more comfortable than in Luoyang, and you can move more freely. I heard that few people can see Jiang, Wang, Song and others nowadays. They all live in
On my own special train, I am going back and forth on the Longhai Line. Today I will go to Luoyang, tomorrow I will go to Zhengzhou, and the day after tomorrow I may go to Kaifeng, Xuzhou, or suddenly I will go to Shanghai or Nanjing... We don’t know what these big shots are busy with. However,
Looking at this situation, I'm afraid we are really giving way to a big shot again. Just wait, we can't leave until the special train has passed."
"Now some newspapers have said that our government should be renamed "National and Civil Government on the Train."
"I heard that government chairman Lin Senlin has been staying in Luoyang."
"Isn't that what the government wants to see?"
"What do you know? Mr. Lin means not to fight for power and gain, not to be arrogant, and not to form cliques for personal gain. This is also Mr. Lin's "three no's" principle. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master were eating and listening, and just as they were enjoying themselves, someone knocked on the door of their private room.
The Fourth Master stood up and opened the door completely. He saw a man in his thirties or forties standing at the door, wearing a long robe and a mandarin jacket. When he saw the Fourth Master coming out, he immediately handed over his hand and said, "There's so much trouble, there's so much trouble. It's really boring in the car.
I want to find someone to play cards with. See if my brother is interested. We are a husband and wife..."
"Playing cards?" Fourth Master glanced at Lin Yutong, saw her nodding, and said with a smile: "Okay! It's very boring to stop here without finding something to do."
The man immediately went to the next door with a smile, and in a blink of an eye, he brought in a woman wearing a white background and blue flowers and a red shawl. This woman was not young, and she looked kind-hearted.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master let the people in, gave the sofa where Fourth Master had just been sitting to their couple, and then closed the door.
"Your guy is pretty good, and his eyes are really sharp." The man who called himself Dong Fan gave Fourth Master a thumbs up and praised him repeatedly.
Dude?
Lin Yutong didn't know who he was talking about. But the fourth master remembered the man squatting by the door with a straw hat and an outfit that was incompatible with everyone else. Listening to Dong Fan's words, it seemed that this man had paid attention to him. This was interesting.
.
The fourth master did not deny it, but just smiled. Dong Fan over there had already taken out his cards.
Lin Yutong thought they were going to touch the leaf cards, but when he saw it, he realized that they were playing cards. Not only playing cards, but also a deck of playing cards with advertisements printed on them.
But as soon as the card was exposed, Mrs. Dong's expression suddenly changed. Lin Yutong took a closer look at the box of playing cards. There was a picture of a beauty on it, with the words Cuilu Pavilion written on it. Only then did she understand that the poker was originally called Cuilu Pavilion.
He came from the brothel in Luge. You don’t need to ask to know that this Mr. Dong should have visited here. Now this brothel is very bold, and there are many kinds of advertising souvenirs. For example, matches, customized ones and matchboxes.
After the people are beaten, they change the matches into a box. Where are the men who go to their place who don't smoke? As long as the men use this little thing, they will never forget it.
Lin Yutong's eyes stayed on the playing cards for a long time. Only then did Dong Fan react and smiled awkwardly. Then while shuffling the cards, he pointed outside, "Brother Yin, you can't even hear what those people said just now."
Alright?"
Fourth Master responded casually: "It's just hearsay, who knows whether it's true or not!"
"Really! It's basically all true." Dong Fan pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "To be honest, brother, I am in the antique business. I saw something interesting in my hand, and I happened to know that a noble man in Nanjing liked it, so I brought it with me.
I brought something to someone’s door.”
"Then I must have made a lot of money this time." Fourth Master smiled, "I'm afraid it's not easy to do this antique business now."
Antiques for great events, gold for troubled times.
Dong Fan nodded: "Isn't it? In the past, if there were good things, we would just sit at home and wait for someone to come to our door... What about now? Take the good things and do what they want... It belongs to noble people.
Is money so easy to make? The purpose is not to gain access to other people’s homes, but to maintain friendship.” He said with some enthusiasm, “The people I have made friends with are different, and the things I know are naturally different. For example,
The one they are talking about...that Mr. Lin. I heard someone from the nobleman’s mansion mentioned it."
"Oh?" Fourth Master answered casually, knowing that this man wanted to show off his abilities, so he handed the message over, "I would like to hear the details."
Dong Fan was no longer in a hurry to play poker. He put down the cards in his hand and handed the Fourth Master a cigarette. Seeing the Fourth Master wave his hand, he started talking to himself: "Speaking of this Mr. Lin, I admire you.
It's really not good. I heard that she lives an extremely simple life and is very low-key. They say she is a rare 'civilian head of state'." He said, stretched out three fingers, and then pointed outside: "It's really like them.
It's the same thing. Mr. Lin has always adhered to the "three no's" principle: don't fight for power and gain, don't act arrogantly, don't form cliques for personal gain... He really only does what he should do. I heard that Luoyang is now
There is a rumor that Mr. Lin said, 'The military attachés should go directly to see Chiang, the civil servants should go directly to see Wang, and don't come to me.' What do people call it... what is 'ruling by doing nothing'."
Fourth Master nodded, as if he agreed with Dong Fan's words, "...peaceful and indifferent."
Dong Fan responded repeatedly, "That's not what you are saying. However, no matter how peaceful a person is, he still has his own temper. If he is serious, he is really serious." He said, his voice lowered, "I heard that some time ago, it was Lin
After reaching Luoyang, Wang was still in Nanjing at that time. If Wang had something to report to Mr. Lin, he ordered that Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan Chu... Chu..."
"Chu Minyi." Fourth Master reminded.
"Ah... yes! That's the name." Dong Fan took a puff of cigarette, puffed out his eyes again, and looked at the fourth master up and down, "Brother Yin, you are a scholar who doesn't go out and can only do the world. These officials, this senior
...The long one...I can't remember it."
"Read the newspaper and remember this trivial matter." The fourth master leaned back and realized that this man may seem rough, but he has a wide range of contacts. Not everyone can know the things he said. So,
He urged: "I am listening very excitedly, but I should hurry up."
Someone was so supportive that Dong Fan's eyes lit up: "Let's talk about..."
"Chu Minyi." Lin Yutong smiled at Mrs. Dong and answered the question.
"Yes!" Dong Fan gave Lin Yutong a thumbs up, "My brothers and sisters have really good memories. It's rare for my brothers and sisters to understand these political matters. I'm afraid I'm already impatient." As he said this, he just said:
He felt a pain in his thigh and knew that he had been pinched by his mother-in-law. He grinned and said quickly: "This Chu Minyi... He said that Wang asked Chu Minyi to send a telegram to Mr. Lin. But this Chu Minyi was ignorant and unskilled, so he directly said at the beginning of the message
Mr. Lin is called "Brother Zichao", and Mr. Lin's nickname is Zichao. We all know that there are particularities in how someone can call each other. But this person dares to call him that? I won't say it anymore, and I won't write it at the end.
Wang's official name was only signed "Di Jingweikeng". Mr. Lin was definitely unhappy when he saw it, but he didn't say anything disrespectful. Only after seeing Wang, he said seriously, "If we were comrades, we could have done it."
"Brothers are worthy of each other, but the official documents are not consistent with the national system. You should pay more attention to it in the future." Wang was scolded like this. After Wang finally read the telegram, he realized what was going on and went back to kick Chu Minyi.
He kicked him to the ground and scolded, "I'm so embarrassed for you!" I guess this guy will never dare to ask Chu Minyi to write for him again. I can't afford to embarrass that person!"
The person who can tell these anecdotes clearly and logically is really interesting.
Lin Yutong smiled: "I didn't expect you to know so clearly about the affairs of the country. It's really impressive."
The expression on Dong Fan's face stiffened for a moment, and he chuckled: "My brothers and sisters don't know. As an antique dealer, if I want a good business, the most important thing is to do what I want. You probably don't know that Mr. Lin also likes antiques very much.
, I do this all for business. I really am not just saying this. When Mr. Lin arrived in Luoyang, he often wandered around the antique stalls on the streets of Luoyang. He often wore a black cloth robe when going out, with a long beard fluttering on his chest. "
Lin Yutong glanced at the fourth master. This person was really well-informed about the news. But he only knew about such things, and he dared to say it in front of himself and the fourth master. It was said that he was unintentional, but it was obviously not the case.
. It can be said that he has ulterior motives, but what is he trying to do?
The four of them were playing cards and did not continue the topic. Lin Yutong played a card and stretched out his hand. She felt that the eyes of the couple sitting opposite were glued to her hands. She lowered her head and looked at her wrist.
I somewhat understood. The bracelet on my wrist was carved from fine white jade. The jade was good, and the craftsmanship was unique to Ouchi. It was indeed a genuine antique. I saw that it was simple, so I just picked it up.
I came here, but I didn’t expect to be targeted by these two people. Could it be that you came here because of the bracelet?
What about those words he just said? Is it to show off his energy? Is it because he is afraid that he will not sell it, so he hints at his background?
Lin Yutong noticed it, and the Fourth Master naturally noticed it too. He threw all the cards in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "Boss Dong is not here to play cards, is he?"
Dong Fan smiled awkwardly: "Brother Yin, did you see it? It made me laugh. The one on my sister's hand... I'll tell you the truth, I've been looking for more than half a year and haven't found one that meets my requirements. Don't you?
You know, my business is to find suitable gadgets for noble people. There is a general with a high official position who wants to give a gift to the lady above. It depends on the lady's preference, right? It should be simple and grand.
But it’s even more valuable. I saw this in my sister’s hands from a distance and thought it was what I was looking for. Do you think it can be cut?”
Of course the fourth master was unwilling. Gold and silver can be sold, but Tongtong's jewelry cannot be touched at any time. Especially the jewelry that has been worn. He waved his hand directly: "Boss Dong, do you think we are people who are short of money?"
Dong Fan was a little embarrassed, "This..." Of course there is no shortage of money. Otherwise, he could wear this incredible treasure on his hand so casually and make a train. But this thing is really important to him. With this thing,
Only then can you knock on the door of noble people.
It was dark, and the light in the box was on. But even though it was on, the effect was the same as a seven-watt light bulb. It was very dark.
Lin Yutong smiled: "I can't see clearly. It's a waste of my eyes. Let's play again tomorrow."
Dong Fan then stood up, smiled sheepishly, glanced at Lin Yutong's wrist, bowed his hands, and then the couple went out.
When Fourth Master was about to close the door, he glanced at the man in the straw hat leaning against the door again. Seeing that he didn't seem to have moved, he raised his eyebrows and asked Lin Yutong to come in and divide half of the steamed buns and braised pork he bought earlier.
, then took it out and handed it to the man: "Brother, take it."
When the man raised his head, the Fourth Master saw an angular face, with clear and somewhat sharp eyes. Seeing that the Fourth Master's hand was always raised, there was no look of disdain in his eyes, so he took it over and said, "Thank you very much.
."
The fourth master nodded and closed the door of the box.
Lin Yutong asked in a low voice: "What's the origin?"
"You can't tell it yet." Fourth Master pointed out, "This box is not soundproof. Today, the man surnamed Dong made a fuss about the valuable bracelet on your hand. I'm afraid everyone who cares will hear it.
On the train, there are people from all walks of life. I’m afraid it won’t stop.”
Lin Yutong put away the bracelet on his hand, looking for an inexpensive one, but couldn't find it. Even the ones he had never worn were valuable.
Fourth Master kicked the box and said, "Put away the things inside. Since you are not wearing it on your hand, you may have to aim at the box."
Yes! There are many ways for thieves to do it. Now that they are all wearing single clothes, it is obvious whether the bracelet is hidden on them or not.
The box originally contained a few pieces of clothing to hide from others, but Lin Yutong collected them all and put the empty box under the table casually. The two of them lay on the sofa to rest.
When I was almost confused, I heard the sound of a train coming, and then not long after, a train roared past. At this speed... it must be a special train.
Sure enough, just as the train passed, the train started to move. Lying on the sofa, the vibrations of the train made me feel slightly uncomfortable. But I still fell asleep in a daze.
At this time, in the box next door, Dong Fan was sitting on the sofa, smoking one cigarette after another.
"Okay!" Mrs. Dong whispered, "If you don't want to sell it, don't sell it. You can still rob it!"
"You know nothing!" Dong Fan gritted his teeth and said: "You want to be an official's wife, and you want me to take off my skin as a businessman. How can you do it without anyone's support? People have spoken, and we can't even do this. How can we do it?"
You want to invest in someone else's family? Why? No matter what, you have to get this thing. It's not a matter of money. There are some things that you can't buy even if you have money."
Mrs. Dong looked outside and said, "Is that thing really that good? If you really want to touch it, you can find mutton-fat white jade. It seems to me that the jade is not mutton-fat jade. Let's look for it again?"
Dong Fan glared at his wife: "Those are not ordinary items. They can only be worn by the mistress and empress of the middle palace. When have I ever misjudged this pair of tricks? I can only see the phoenix pattern and the subtle marks at a glance.
Come out. Hand me something like this...I really want it to be done!"
"What should we do?" Mrs. Dong's heart became hot, "Why don't we go out and grind again tomorrow."
But people are not short of money.
Dong Fan stood up suddenly: "You stay inside, I'll go back."
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Dong grabbed him, "It's so late at night, the car is so messy, I'm scared to be alone."
"You're so scared!" Dong Fan shook off his wife's hand and said, "Just stay there."
The door of the box is push-pull, and the friction when opening and closing the door is quite loud. As soon as his door opened, the fourth master and Lin Yutong next door opened their eyes.
Also alert was the man who had been leaning against the door.
Dong Fan glanced this way, especially the straw hat man. He always thought that this man was the servant brought out by the fourth master. Seeing that the other party did not move, he walked towards the other side. After he left, the straw hat man looked towards
He looked at his back, then lowered his head and closed his eyes.
I thought it would be unsettled along the way, but who knew that from that night onwards, nothing happened at all.
Seeing that they were about to arrive in Peiping, Lin Yutong looked at Fourth Master: "Why do I feel like something is wrong?"
The fourth master pointed outside: "Quiet! It's extremely quiet. The people standing in the corridor have basically disappeared, and even the voices on the two sides can no longer be heard."
Yes! That's right. Slowly, it became quieter day by day. She originally thought she got off the bus halfway, but now it doesn't look like it.
The fourth master opened the sliding door and looked out. Only the straw hat brother was left in the corridor. "Friend, come in and talk." The trouble on the train must have been blocked by this man.
The man raised his head and glanced at the fourth master, then glanced at the next door on both sides, as if it was inconvenient to talk because there were people on both sides. He did not go inside, but just cupped his fists and said: "Thank you for the meal, brother, we will see you later."
Then he turned around and jumped out of the car window.
Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and turned back to Lin Yutong: "Is it interesting?"
"Which kind of immortal?" Lin Yutong asked in a low voice.
Who knows? Anyway, he was protected by someone all the way for no reason. This person had some tricks and tricks and blocked all the troubles, but the two of them were completely unaware of it.
When the train arrived at the station, the fourth master carried the box in one hand and pulled Lin Yutong out of the box with the other, but came face to face with Dong Fan next door.
Dong Fan and his wife had a look of panic on their faces, and they looked at Fourth Master and Lin Yutong with some fear in their eyes.
"You go first...you go first...you two go first." Dong Fan bent over and took two steps back.
On the other side, the people next door were about to come out, but when they saw Lin Yutong and Fourth Master, they immediately shrank back.
Are you afraid of this?
The fourth master raised his eyebrows and nodded to Dong Fan: "I accept it!" After saying that, he pulled Lin Yutong away.
Lin Yutong's mind was spinning. She had previously thought that this person was sent to follow her family after Song Kaiwen reported. But now looking at this method, it seems that is not the case. They would never scare people like this.
After coming out of the station, I stopped the rickshaw and was about to leave when I heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother! Brother! Wait." Just by hearing the voice, I knew that the person chasing me was Dong Fan.
Fourth Master turned around and smiled: "Boss Dong, do you have anything else to do?"
Dong Fan immediately said: "Brother, you have just arrived in the capital, and you haven't settled down yet, right?" As he spoke, he smacked his mouth and said, "Look at my inability to speak, you must be going to the hotel. But
No matter how good this hotel is, it is not my home after all. The thing is, I have a small courtyard house near Liulichang, and I am planning to sell it. If you are willing to..." He stretched out a finger, "One thousand...
"Before he spoke the truth, he quickly shook his head and stretched out his hand, "No...it doesn't take a thousand. I'm in a hurry to take action. Give me five hundred lines."
Fourth Master is really curious about the Straw Hat Man. This man knows a lot about his family. This proves that he not only knows himself and Lin Yutong, but also knows his current situation. Dong Fan's current behavior must be because of this man.
reason.
He looked at Dong Fan: "You don't have to be embarrassed, I do need to buy a house, but..."
"Don't be but, brother!" Dong Fan looked as if he was about to cry, "If you think it's expensive, three hundred... no... two hundred will do. Just give me any money will count."
The fourth master was also convinced. He was such a coward. After being threatened and frightened, he still dared to have evil intentions? He turned to look at Lin Yutong, "Why don't you go and have a look first?" Anyway, you only live in a courtyard.
"Let's see." Lin Yutong nodded.
"Hey! Take a look first, take a look before we talk." Dong Fan seemed to be relieved, "If my brothers and sisters don't like it, just tell me and I will look for it all over the capital."
Lin Yutong said in his heart that there was really no need to bother. The Forbidden City and Prince Yong's Mansion were the ones he was most satisfied with. Those places were easy to find, but they couldn't be bought.
In fact, Lin Yutong fell in love with this courtyard at first sight. Not to mention anything else, the jujube tree in the courtyard that could only be hugged by two people surrounded it, made her breathing become confused.
The two held hands and were stunned on the spot. It seemed that they could no longer tell what night it was.
Lin Yutong took Fourth Master, put his hand on the mottled bark, and touched down along the lines. The scars and nodules on the tree, which looked like human eyes, seemed to be the same. The dates on the tree were red.
There were quite a few, and some fell on the ground. Lin Yutong picked one up, rubbed it on her clothes, and took a bite. The taste hit her taste buds and made her tears fall instantly. She stuffed the remaining half of the dates into
Fourth Master's mouth said, "Try it, is it the same taste?"
Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong and whispered softly: "We are going home."
Yes! Back home.
Dong Fan felt confused. What did this mean? He rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "It turns out that this house has some connection with me. What a coincidence."
"Perhaps there is really God's will somewhere." The fourth master turned around, the other expressions on his face were gone, and he only said: "Tell me, how much do you plan to sell this house for?"
"This... that..." Dong Fan stood in the yard and pointed at these houses, "You should be able to tell that I just renovated this yard a few years ago. They are all brand new. To be honest, the furniture is complete, but this
The house has really never been occupied by anyone for a day. Even with the furniture, it’s not much to sell for one thousand. But... that’s it, now you just have to pay for it.”
"One thousand and two, don't say I took advantage of you." Fourth Master directly gave a price, which was really nothing.
"Ah?" Dong Fan was stunned, "Ah! Brother, you are such a fastidious person. Don't say anything anymore. Now we can go to the house."
It's easy to do things if you have money. The procedures for this house were completed in the middle of the afternoon. Lin Yutong and Fourth Master did not go to the hotel in the evening and went directly back to the courtyard. Living here still makes people feel at ease.
The furniture is indeed brand new. The kang at home is all newly installed. I don’t care about other places for now. I just tidied up the main room, put the bedding on it, and pulled the curtains, and everything was done.
The two of them took a bath, ate, and lay on the kang to relax. Then Lin Yutong asked Fourth Master: "Who is the person who helped us?"
Fourth Master shook his head: "I really can't remember. Forget it! This person knows where we are staying. If he really wants to see us, he will always come to us."
The bumps on the train made me very tired. I didn't say a few words, and I began to feel confused. Early the next morning, before I got up, I heard a noise outside.
"What's going on?" Lin Yutong stood up, put on his clothes and got out of bed, holding down the fourth master, "Don't get up in a hurry, I'll go and hear what's going on first?"
Through the door, Lin Yutong could hear clearly inside.
A woman's voice was particularly loud: "You let the child's father go. He caught a cold, had a slight fever, and nothing else. Why did you lock him up? Who do you expect from our family?"
"Don't make a noise! What are you making a noise about?" A man's voice said: "It's cholera, do you know? If this is true... this is an infectious disease. If your family is said to be the same, the people around you may not be affected.
How contagious is it? This is not locking up, but isolating! Do you understand isolation? If you are not sick, you will be released naturally."
It turns out this is the same thing.
Lin Yutong returned to the house and saw the fourth master leaning on the bed. She told her what had happened, and the fourth master said: "Cholera in the northwest was really bad in June and July, and now it's August."
Isolating those with fevers is a good idea.
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door. I don’t have any acquaintances in the capital, so who can come to the door?
Seeing that Lin Yutong hadn't washed up yet, Fourth Master went to the ground by himself, "You stay in the room, I'll go take a look."
It turned out that the person who came was Dong Fan.
Why is he here?
The fourth master invited people in, pointed to the stone bench under the jujube tree and asked him to sit down: "Boss Dong is here so early, but is there something wrong?"
Dong Fan chuckled: "It's my fault for disturbing my brother's rest." He said in a low voice, "It's a good thing! A friend of mine has a shop in Liulichang. It's a good shop, but it was an eye-opener before and I lost it.
Many people have gone in. Now this shop can no longer operate. Let me ask, brother, if you are interested in the shop. This shop only pays rent and cannot be used. I will definitely not let my brother suffer."
So enthusiastic!
"Or for the bracelet?" Fourth Master looked at Dong Fan.
Dong Fan was a little embarrassed: "Brother, to tell you the truth, this is related to my brother's future. If it's just a matter of money, why should I be so entangled." He also provoked an evil spirit who didn't know where he came from.
"I don't know what kind of job Boss Dong is planning to do. The other party's request is really a bit harsh." Fourth Master asked tentatively.
Dong Fan looked around and then said: "The boss who wants something is named Chen, and he also wants to send it up. If this is done, brother, brother, I will soar into the sky."
"What department can soar to the sky?" Fourth Master frowned, "Boss Dong is really asking people to see through."
"In ancient times, it should be called the Ministry of Personnel." Dong Fan was somewhat proud of himself.
Personnel Department? Organizational Department! The boss’s surname is Chen?
Could it be the Party Affairs Investigation Section? It will also be the Central Bureau of Statistics in the future!
