At first, he thought it was a little beggar who wanted to ask for money. But he soon found out that it was not the beggar.
He found that the little girl's clothes were quite neat and clean, and the pigtails on her head were neatly combed. She also carried a child on her back. She had a clean face and a chubby face. She was definitely not a child from a poor family.
He looked at the little girl with surprise and wondered what she wanted to do.
The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at him in surprise, and finally said: "Uncle, in October last year, at the end of October, on the ship from Wuhan to Chongqing, my mother lost money!"
After saying that, she continued to stare at him, as if waiting for his answer.
Xiao Ancheng opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked at her.
He suddenly remembered that when he came from Wuhan last year, he was on the Maoyuan. A woman and a little girl asked them for help because their only eighteen yuan was stolen!
He opened his mouth wide, "Oh, little girl, it's you! What a coincidence, what a coincidence!"
The girl also grinned, looking very happy.
"So, how are you and your mother now?" Xiao Ancheng squatted down and asked with a smile.
"Okay! My mother and I are working at Mrs. Li's house. Mrs. Li is a good person. My mother and I have good food and good housing. Hey, hey, hey," she pointed to her back, "This is my younger brother, Li.
My wife’s son, I call him brother. I carry him out to play every day. Oh, my mother-in-law will be so happy when she finds out!”
"That's good, that's good." Xiao Ancheng didn't know what to say, so he asked, "What's your name?"
"My original name was Wu Xiaoya, but later Mrs. Li changed my name. My name is now Wu Xiaoyan."
"Xiaoyan? What do you mean?"
"That's what it means in the morning, rays of light. You'll understand as soon as I tell you." She blinked her big eyes and said with a smile.
Xiao Ancheng thought about it carefully and then finally figured it out, "Oh, it's morning, the sun has just come out, shining on the clouds and mist on the horizon, and the morning glow is thousands of miles away. Is that what you mean?"
"That's right. You'll understand as soon as I tell you." Wu Xiaoyan chuckled, looking very proud.
Xiao Ancheng stood up with a smile, "Okay, Xiaoyan, bring one to your mother-in-law. I have something else to do and I have to leave."
Xiaoyan shouted: "Uncle, come to Jiaochangkou when you have time, we will live in Jiaochangkou."
Xiao Ancheng said: "Okay, okay, I will definitely go when I have time. Goodbye, Xiaoyan."
He waved his hand and continued to move forward. In his heart, this was just a chance encounter, or a chance encounter, that's all. He felt that it would be difficult to see this little girl again in the future. His life, and her life,
Completely two different things!
Xiao Ancheng would never have thought that they would meet again in the future! He and she would be friends of life and death!

Seeing Xiao Ancheng walking away, Erju ran up from behind the bushes, with a weird smile on his face, and shouted: "Longdi, be good, you know what a handsome guy is!"
Xiaoyan turned around and said: "How did you know that he saved me and my mother-in-law! I want to go back and tell my mother-in-law!"
As she spoke, she hurried home.

When Xiao Ancheng arrived at the small church in Hongyadong, he couldn't help but be surprised.
He saw that a barbed wire fence had been pulled up around the church, and there were soldiers standing guard at the entrance.
Liu Li stood next to the sentry, holding a stack of small cards in her hand. When she saw a student, she gave him a small card and said with a smile: "Keep it, don't lose it. You will use this pass to enter the door in the future."
"
Someone asked: "Why?"
Liu Li said: "I'll talk to you when everyone is here."

Xiao Ancheng entered the chapel, and there was no change inside. The rows of tables and chairs were still arranged as before. Next to the big blackboard in front, there was the chair that Mr. Herbert wanted to sit on.
Some classmates who had arrived earlier gathered together, talking to each other mysteriously, and guessing what was happening now.
Seeing that all her classmates had arrived, Liu Li smiled and clapped her hands and spoke first.
She said: "According to Mr. Herbert's plan, starting from today, we will try to decipher the Japanese code. For the sake of confidentiality, the Telecommunications Office decided to put up sentries outside the church to prohibit outsiders from entering and exiting at will. On the other hand, also
I hope the students will keep it confidential and don’t tell anyone about anything going on in this training class.”
She looked at Mr. Herbert who was standing next to her, stretched out her hand to him, "Sir, please start."
Mr. Herbert walked to the blackboard, with a proud smile on his face, and said: "As Miss Liu said, we will start research on deciphering the code starting today. Please listen carefully, I am not telling you,
It’s about researching it together with you. Of course I did a little bit of research first, but only a little bit. The most important thing to decipher is to try and research together with you.”
After he finished speaking, he unfolded a large piece of white paper and pinned it to the blackboard with thumbtacks.
On the white paper, there are capital English letters written with a brush, covering the entire white paper, with about a dozen lines.
Xiao Ancheng and other classmates looked at him in surprise, unable to guess what Mr. Herbert meant.
Herbert smiled broadly, pointed to the white paper and said: "This is a telegram sent by the Japanese Consulate in Wuhan to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Today we will try to decipher the Japanese diplomatic secret cable first. I feel that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs' secret cable seems to be
It will be easier to decipher. Now, please copy this sealed message in your homework book. For the next step of research, it is recommended that you write the words larger and leave a little space between the lines. After copying,
Students, please study this sealed message carefully and discuss it with people around you. In an hour, we will start studying this sealed message. Please start."
As soon as he finished speaking, the students present began to lower their heads and copy the secret messages on the white paper.
After a few minutes, everyone began to whisper, discuss and even argue with each other. The church became lively.
Mr. Herbert and Liu Li looked at them with smiles on their faces.

In the morning, just after nine o'clock, Chen Zifeng was getting ready to go out and wanted to find a blind Japanese spy on the streets. He was summoned to the Office of the Investigation Bureau by a phone call from Gong Binsheng.
At this time, he was sitting opposite Commander Gong, looking at the calm commander with doubts.
Gong Binsheng took a large stack of newspapers from the table next to him, placed them in front of Chen Zifeng, pointed at them and said: "Zifeng, have you read all these newspapers? Is there anything in them that interests you?"
Chen Zifeng carefully flipped through the newspapers and said cautiously: "Sir, are you referring to the murder case that happened in Teyuan? Sir, to be honest, I am interested in this matter!"
Gong Binsheng had a smile on his face, "Are all your military police teams interested in this matter?"
Chen Zifeng nodded, "Yes, sir."
The smile on Gong Binsheng's face became even more obvious, and he actually said, "You are really a bunch of smart people! You can see the situation! Please listen clearly, I don't mean this in a derogatory way."
Chen Zifeng hurriedly smiled and said: "Sir actually praised us. I...I can hear it. Thank you for your praise, sir."
Gong Binsheng waved his hand and said, "Well, I'll leave this task to you. The Central Military Commission's Military Law Enforcement Directorate, as well as the Sixth Regiment of the Central Military Police, and the Chongqing Police Department have also investigated this case for a period of time, but they can't find any clues.
, requiring our investigation office to assist in the investigation."
Chen Zifeng said: "Sir, who should we contact?"
Gong Binsheng said: "These are the departments I just mentioned. One is Gu Zhenglun, deputy director of the Military Law Enforcement Directorate of the Military Commission, one is Liu Xueqi, the leader of the Sixth Regiment of the Central Military Police, and the last one is Tang Yi, the director of the Chongqing Police Department."
He smiled and nodded to Chen Zifeng, "They are all officers, so you have to be polite to them. But the investigation work is mainly yours! Don't let them interfere with your investigation!"
Chen Zifeng stood up and said, "Yes, sir, I understand. I will go and contact the officers now."
Gong Binsheng smiled and said: "I'll go with you. I can be considered one of them."

Hongya Cave, inside the church.
The students divided into groups and debated fiercely on the issues raised.
Mr. Herbert kept looking at them with a smile, and seemed to find all this very interesting. He finally stood up from his chair, clapped his hands, and the church immediately became quiet.
All the students stared at him with wide eyes, expecting him to say something important.
Mr. Herbert looked at everyone with a smile, pointed at the white paper and said: "One hour is up. Now, who can tell me what he saw from this secret message? Let me emphasize again, we are doing research, not
Afraid of saying stupid things. Sometimes, there is wisdom hidden in stupid words. Who speaks first?"
The church was very quiet. The students all blinked and no one dared to speak first.
A classmate next to Xiao Ancheng pushed him hard and encouraged him to speak first.
Mr. Herbert saw it and asked, "Which one of you two will speak first?"
Liu Li stood aside and watched, saying, "I see that Classmate Li has been pushing Classmate Xiao, so please ask Classmate Xiao to speak first."
At this moment, Xiao Ancheng had no choice but to stand up in embarrassment and look at the classmates around him.
He said: "Sir, I really don't touch the door very much. I just think that some English letters appear in pairs, and they appear several times. I really don't know what this is."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Herbert burst out laughing and said repeatedly: "Ok, ok, that's very good. Can you go into more detail? It doesn't matter, we are just studying together. Whatever you say is fine."
Xiao Ancheng said: "I only saw that a few letters appeared in pairs, but I really can't tell the rest."
Herbert picked up a writing brush from the table and said, "Mr. Xiao, please mark all the letters you see."
Xiao Ancheng had no choice but to walk over, take the brush, and draw horizontal lines under some pairs of letters.
