When Lu Chengzhou was wearing a police uniform and patrolling the streets, Zhang Baotou still respected him very much.
No matter what Lu Chengzhou asked him to do at that time, Zhang Baotou did his best. After all, Lu Chengzhou had helped all the rickshaw pullers fight for their interests.
However, after Lu Chengzhou was fired from the police force and went to work in the gendarmerie unit openly, Zhang Baotou felt unhappy.
He can work for the police, but he definitely doesn't want to work for a traitor.
Sometimes, Zhang Baotou hated himself for doing things for Lu Chengzhou.
Lu Chengzhou is a traitor. If you have done something for him, doesn’t he also become a traitor?
"I brought some rice and flour, as well as some candles and biscuits. You can take some back." Lu Chengzhou couldn't see Zhang Baotou's face clearly. He just looked at a dark figure, which looked like Zhang Baotou.
"No need." Zhang Baotou stood there motionless and said.
If you eat something from a traitor, will you get sores on the top of your head and suppuration on the soles of your feet?
"What, you have a lot of rice?" Lu Chengzhou heard Zhang Baotou's tone and naturally understood what he was thinking.
Although these rickshaw pullers live a miserable life every day, they are also very patriotic.
Lu Chengzhou had already sensed this.
However, he could not reveal his identity to Zhang Baotou, nor could he make them feel that he was patriotic.
"There was no rice for the pot yesterday." Zhang Baotou was very dizzy because he hadn't eaten all day.
However, no matter how hungry he was, he still had to go outside to find something to do.
If it didn't work out, he was going to go to a shelter. Even if he had to eat mixed noodles, it would at least be better than living without water.
"I have biscuits here, you put them on the bottom first." Lu Chengzhou took out a box of biscuits and handed them to Zhang Baotou.
Zhang Baotou stretched out his hand, but then retracted it.
"Get on the boat first." Lu Chengzhou rowed the boat in front of him and said.
Zhang Baotou hesitated for a while. The water was dirty and a little dry at night, but he finally climbed onto the boat.
"You seem to have a wife, right? Where are the children? You have integrity and don't eat my food, but what about them?" Lu Chengzhou stuffed the biscuits into Zhang Baotou's hand and asked.
"I would rather starve to death than eat the food of a traitor." Zhang Bao turned his head away and tried his best not to be tempted.
"Traitor? You finally said it." Lu Chengzhou sighed.
"Mr. Lu, you have captured Japanese ronin before, how can you work for the Japanese devils?" Zhang Baotou said earnestly.
He doesn't understand the big truth. Anyway, if you work for the Japanese, you are not a good person.
"In this world, don't worry about who you work for, just make sure you don't starve to death." Lu Chengzhou said calmly.
He rowed the boat over, found Zhang Baotou's wife, and handed her a bag of rice and flour, a few candles, and two boxes of biscuits.
"Mr. Lu, I won't do anything else for you." Zhang Baotou knew that these things given by Lu Chengzhou could really save their family's lives.
However, he didn't want to do anything for Lu Chengzhou.
"How about I let you do things for yourself?" Lu Chengzhou said.
"What to do?" Zhang Baotou asked casually.
"How about I lend you this boat tomorrow and use it to bring passengers and goods?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
The water has risen and rickshaws cannot be used, but boats can be used.
"I don't want your boat." Zhang Baotou shook his head.
"You think I gave it to you for free and rented it to you for one dollar a day." Lu Chengzhou said angrily.
"This..." Zhang Baotou hesitated. One dollar a day is not expensive. The water in the British Concession has risen. Respectable people can only travel by boat. There are also people who need to transport goods. In order to prevent the goods from getting wet, they have to hire
Boat.
If he had a boat, it would be easy to make a few bucks a day.
"You should think about it." Lu Chengzhou rowed the boat to the street, found a corner to stop, took out a cigarette, and handed one to Zhang Baotou.
Zhang Baotou has not smoked for several days. Not to mention rolling cigarettes, he can't even smoke tobacco leaves.
Almost subconsciously, Zhang Baotou took the cigarette, put it under his nose and smelled it. Laodao brand cigarettes smelled delicious.
"Last night, there was a gunfight on the Haihe River. Did you know?" Lu Chengzhou lit a match, lit Zhang Baotou, and asked again.
"I heard that the Japanese were killing each other. It would be best if all of them died." Zhang Baotou said bitterly.
"Those people didn't want to fight in China, they just wanted to go back, but they were discovered by the gendarmerie. The leader, Teruo Takeuchi, was killed on the spot." Lu Chengzhou said slowly.
He came to Zhang Baotou, not only to send him some food, but also to use Zhang Baotou's mouth to spread the news that Takeuchi Teruo was the leader.
After returning from the military police, Lu Chengzhou had been thinking about how to complete Kawasaki Hiroshi's mission.
Although Kawasaki Hiroshi didn't give any special instructions, Lu Chengzhou knew that he must do a good job.
Kawasaki Hiroshi and Kikuchi Hiroshi had conflicts. Although Kikuchi Hiroshi extended an olive branch to Lu Chengzhou, Lu Chengzhou firmly stood on Kawasaki Hiroshi's side.
Whether it was emotions or long-term considerations, he could only stand by Kawasaki Hiroshi.
Even if Kikuchi Kan gains the upper hand in the future, he will not be able to change the family.
Lu Chengzhou entered the Japanese spy agency because of Kawasaki Hiroshi, and Kawasaki Hiroshi was also his instructor at the police training center.
If Lu Chengzhou betrays Hiroshi Kawasaki in order to curry favor with Kan Kikuchi, how will others view him in the future?
Although Lu Chengzhou didn't care about other people's looks, he also hoped that he would not be treated as an outlier in the military police.
Lu Chengzhou thought about this matter for a day. He could not rely on the power of the Intelligence Room.
Through Zhang Baotou's mouth, the gendarmerie will definitely not be able to find out.
"Mr. Lu, can you tell me something?" Zhang Baotou asked curiously after hearing what Lu Chengzhou said.
As a senior rickshaw puller, Zhang Baotou's biggest hobby is actually talking about mountains.
"Of course." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
The two smoked a few cigarettes, and Lu Chengzhou told Zhang Baotou in detail what happened last night.
Lu Chengzhou also asked about some rickshaw pullers in the British Concession.
"The British Concession was flooded. We couldn't pull the cart, so we had to go to the dock to work as coolies. But even if we had the strength, others might not want it. I heard that many people had to go to shelters in the city in order to have something to eat.
So." After Zhang Baotou chatted with Lu Chengzhou for a while, he didn't seem to think Lu Chengzhou was particularly hateful anymore.
As long as Lu Chengzhou doesn't force him to do things for the Japanese, he feels that he can still maintain contact with Lu Chengzhou.
After all, if people come to your home with rice and noodles, you can't refuse them thousands of miles away if you eat them and have a short mouth.
"The shelter doesn't have enough food, so we still have to find a way out." Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
"I heard that there is a shortage of workers in Tangshan, and some people have no choice but to work elsewhere in order to survive." Zhang Baotou sighed.
"If you really have something to do, you can go to Tangshan. At least there are no floods there." Lu Chengzhou said.
The entire Haigu area is flooded. Staying here will lead to a dead end over time.
