Two steamed buns and a spoonful of cabbage, this is Li Dalu's prison meal.
Li Dalu was already hungry. He picked up the steamed bun and took a bite. He felt as if he had bitten the paper. He quickly opened the steamed bun and saw that there was a note sandwiched between the buns.
The most surprising thing is that there is a unique little swallow drawn on the note.
Cao Yunfei's ability to fly on the grass on the bandit's horn and jump over the ridge of the house is a masterpiece. "Swallow" is his iconic symbol, which means that he is as light as a swallow.
When he was robbing homes and houses, Cao Yunfei would draw a swallow at the scene of the crime every time. It had no more meaning and was purely a way to become famous.
Li Dalu knew that the marks on the note were definitely drawn by Cao Yunfei himself, and others would not look so similar even if they wanted to imitate them.
After reading the content on the note, Li Dalu felt surprised and happy. He was surprised that the note could be sent to the cell, and he was happy that he had a chance to escape.
What surprised him the most was that when he followed the instructions on the note, the process was exactly the same as what was written on the note.
In fact, when Li Dalu and Monkey returned to the grocery store, they did not withdraw money or black powder, but an accounting book.
The two people's daily food, drink, and various living expenses, including details of materials raised, must be recorded in the book one by one according to regulations.
The accounting book is inconsequential to others, but it is extremely important to the two of them, otherwise they would not be able to submit their accounts when they return home.
This kind of thing cannot be kept in the open, so Li Dalu sewed the accounting book into the pillow.
However, he didn't have to worry this time. The note clearly stated that the underground party would find an opportunity to take out the accounting book.
………………
Cutting the yellow wire actually set off the smoke bomb. Li Dalu took the opportunity to open the manhole cover and climbed down on the ladder.
Canal North Street was part of the British Concession at that time. The British attached great importance to public facilities and carried out large-scale construction of sewers and sewage channels to improve the sanitary conditions in the concession.
The sewer adopts a 1.5-meter reinforced concrete structure, which not only ensures durability but also facilitates maintenance.
In the invisible sewer, Li Dalu hunched over and dripped water. After walking about a kilometer away, he finally saw the mouth of the well where he could go out.
I climbed up along the wall of the well and listened for a while. From time to time, I heard the sound of vehicles passing by on the road. This should be a road.
Li Dalu stretched out his hand and pushed upwards, and the manhole cover was lifted aside.
A familiar voice said: "Lao Lu, hurry up!"
"Monkey? Why are you here?" Li Dalu said in surprise.
He quickly grabbed the monkey's hand and used its strength to climb onto the road.
"I'll talk to you later, let's go!" The monkey took a few steps, then turned around and put the manhole cover back in place.
Under the guidance of the monkey, the two of them came to an alley.
"Where are we going?" Li Dalu asked.
"Here." Monkey reached out and pushed open the door of a house, calling Li Dalu to come in.
"Whose house is this?"
"I don't know, there's no one at home."
"What are you here for?"
"Let's change clothes."
"Why don't you change your clothes? Hurry up and follow me. The agents will be searching for you soon. By then, you and I won't be able to run away!"
The monkey couldn't help but dragged Liu Dalu in and said: "Comrade Lao Lu, I have to criticize you. You must use your brain before doing anything!"
The monkey made a funny sound, imitating a sentence Bao Changyi often said.
Li Dalu was not in the mood to joke, and said anxiously: "Monkey, I still have business to do, so hurry up and leave!"
The monkey opened the cabinet, reached out and groped inside, and said: "The streets are full of police. If we don't change our clothes, we still can't escape. Don't worry, it won't delay your business."
As he spoke, he pulled out two bundles from the closet.
When I opened the bag, I saw that there were two sets of police uniforms, police hats, armed belts, shoes and socks, and even batons.
Li Dalu was stunned, looked at the grinning monkey, and said: "Monkey, where did you get this?"
The monkey took a set of police uniforms, gesticulated on them for a while, and said: "How can I have such great ability? The clothes were sent by the underground party... Oh, he also let me live in this house. He said it was
The owner's family has gone out of town and won't be back for at least half a month."
"Underground party? What's their name?"
"He said his name was Lily."
"What Baihe?"
"Lily! Lily of the lilies... Laolu, stop looking at me stupidly and change your clothes quickly."
"Monkey, don't you think you've been tricked by a spy?"
"It's true, he has the mark of captain."
"swallow?"
"Yeah, what else could it be."
Li Dalu pondered and said: "So, that note was also written by him?"
"What note?" Monkey put on his police hat, looked in the mirror, and said to himself: "It would be nice to be smaller..."
Li Dalu said: "You can't read and I can't understand what I'm talking to you."
The monkey made a sound, curled his lips and said, "You were caught by the secret agents, and you still have the nerve to look down on me?"
"I'm not covering you!"
"That's right..."
Li Dalu took off his old clothes and put on a police uniform from head to toe. While changing his clothes, he said, "Monkey, have you been hiding here these days?"
"No, fortunately there is food here, so I won't starve to death anyway."
"Political Commissar Bao said that the people's army will not take care of the common people. Alas, it seems that this time we will make an exception."
"What an exception, Lily kept the money."
"Really? He has thought of such things... Hey, Monkey, is Lily a boy or girl, what does it look like?"
"A man. He always comes after dark and won't let me turn on the light. I don't know what he looks like."'
Li Dalu said with emotion: "It is really not easy to do secret work. Even my own people dare not completely believe it."
The monkey said: "Lily said, it's not that he doesn't trust me. There is no one in this house. If the lights suddenly turn on, others will definitely be suspicious."
"Oh, yes, yes, you are still thoughtful about things..."
Li Dalu changed his clothes, looked at himself in the mirror, and said, "I'm not afraid now, monkey, let's go!"
The monkey was not anxious at all. He leaned back on the bed and said, "We have to wait a little longer."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Idiot, let's just go out like this. If we meet the police in charge of this area, or Li Gui meets Li Kui, we won't finish the game immediately."
"When will you go out?"
"When the big needle reaches 7, we can go out." The monkey said, pointing to the clock on the wall.
Li Dalu thought for a while and smiled: "I understand, this is what Lily taught you, right?"
"Nonsense, you've already said it, what can a stupid kid like me know?"
"Oh, little monkey boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Lu doesn't bark anymore, he's just the same old guy, and you dare to put on airs with me, don't you want to hang out with me anymore?"
Li Dalu bluffed and raised his hands to fight. The monkey quickly raised his hands as a gesture of surrender and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, Brother Lu, I was wrong, I was wrong... Don't make trouble, I am the most ticklish. Brother Lu, I will never do it again."
