The young man sobbed and said, "Why are you silent? Brother Zhendong, I'm not blaming you. Just look for the Communist Party. If you insist on singing and shouting slogans, you can attract the Communist Party..."
There was a sigh from the corner: "Xiaojun is right, you really shouldn't sing and shout slogans."
"Instead of inviting the Communist Party, we invited the police. We are completely blind in Shanghai. We don't know anyone. We can't even find anyone to bail." Another voice also complained.
Zhendong was the boy who took the lead in shouting slogans. He had been lying on the bed without saying a word. When he heard his companions complaining about each other, he suddenly became angry.
"Oh, you are all complaining about me now. Why didn't you object to this suggestion when it was first proposed?"
"Zhendong, don't be angry..."
The patrolman's voice came from a distance: "If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you making noise? If you keep making noises, you won't have anything to eat tomorrow!"
Silence fell into the cell again.
After a while, Xu Siqi said calmly: "Aren't you afraid that I will report you when you say this? I heard that any prisoner who has anything to do with the Communist Party will not be able to get out for a year or so."
The students only focused on enjoying themselves and ignored the presence of an outsider. They exchanged glances with each other and slowly gathered around Xu Siqi.
Xu Siqi smiled: "What are you going to do, kill people and silence them? Let me remind you, I am very capable of fighting, but you can't beat me."
Zhendong sneered and said, "Just go ahead and scare the children with your words!"
"Brother Zhendong, I won't kill people..." Xiaojun's face turned pale with nervousness, and then he said to Xu Siqi: "Brother, you won't report us, right?"
Xu Siqi thought for a moment and said, "I'm just curious, why are you looking for the Communist Party? Those are all dangerous elements."
"It's none of your business!" Zhendong clenched his fists and stared at Xu Siqi without blinking.
Xu Siqi yawned, stretched out on the bed, and said lazily: "Don't worry, I am not a nosy person. Whether you are looking for the Communist Party or the Kuomintang, I have nothing to do with you."
relation."
Xu Siqi knew very well that these were a group of passionate young people who had certain ideas out of reverence for the Communist Party.
The students' nerves relaxed. They were all young people who were inexperienced in the world and did not have much mature interpersonal experience at all.
Xiaojun also slept on the upper bunk, less than half a meter away from Xu Siqi's bed.
He was lying on the bed, looking at the lamp like a bean on the roof, and murmured to himself: "Sister Qinghong doesn't know what's going on..."
No one answered him, and a soft sigh came from the darkness.
Xiaojun immediately turned over and said to Zhendong on the lower bunk: "Brother Zhendong, is the female prison far away from us?"
"I don't know!" Zhendong said expressionlessly.
Xu Siqi said: "The female prison is next door."
Xiaojun said in surprise: "How do you know?"
Xu Siqi said: "If you pay a little attention, you will know."
Xiaojun said oh, and then asked: "Brother, why did you come in?"
Everyone else's ears pricked up. They also wanted to know the reason why Xu Siqi was imprisoned, but they were too embarrassed to ask. They were tense a minute ago and were not suitable for making a conciliatory gesture immediately.
"I was framed and came in without knowing it. Oh, what bad luck..." Xu Siqi sighed softly.
Xiaojun was young after all, so he fell asleep within a few minutes.
Qinghong is Zhendong's girlfriend, and she also came to Shanghai with him this time. How can a weak girl not be worried about being imprisoned...
"Zhendong, don't worry, Qinghong will be fine." A voice whispered.
Zhendong sighed and stopped talking.
…………
the next day.
early morning.
The patrolman came to the door of Cell No. 4, knocked on the iron door with his baton, and stuffed two newspapers inside.
Xu Siqi picked up the newspaper and said politely: "Thank you. Also, I want to ask you, how is Qinghong doing now?"
"What green and red?" The patrolman frowned.
Xu Siqi turned to Zhendong and said, "What's her last name?"
Zhendong was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and said quickly: "Tao, Tao Qinghong... is the female student who came in with us."
The last sentence he said was to the patrolman.
The patrolman looked at Xu Siqi, then at Zhendong, and said, "Do you know each other?"
Xu Siqi smiled and said: "Inmates, we are all brothers in trouble, please help me find out."
"Tao Qinghong is in room 3 of the women's prison. She's okay." the patrolman said impatiently.
Zhendong said: "Officer, can you let me meet her?"
The patrolman sneered and said: "You think that the patrol room is your back garden, and we meet again, what are you thinking..."
Xu Siqi stretched out a finger and whispered: "Add a piece."
"Release at ten o'clock, under the water tower in the southeast corner, five minutes." After saying this, the patrolman walked away with an upright look.
"What does he mean?" Xiaojun didn't understand.
Xu Siqi said: "What he means is to arrange for Zhendong and Tao Qinghong to meet under the water tower in the southeast corner at ten o'clock."
Zhendong's eyes showed gratitude and he said to Xu Siqi: "Thank you."
Xu Siqi climbed onto the bed and said while browsing the newspaper: "I won't say it anymore, we are brothers in trouble, so don't be polite..."
Sure enough, during the break at ten o'clock, Zhendong and Tao Qinghong met across the barbed wire fence. Even though they were only separated for three days, they still had endless things to talk about.
"Qinghong, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"You don't even know that I've been sleeping all night these days just because I'm worried about you..."
"Zhendong, don't talk about this now, we have to find a way out."
"What can we do? We don't have a guarantor."
"Then what should we do? I heard others say that for crimes like ours, we should be imprisoned for at least three months."
"Three months? No way..."
"Didn't you say before that if you know people in the Communist Party, could you contact them and bail us out?"
Zhendong smiled bitterly and said: "We know each other, but I only know that he is in Shanghai. I don't know where he lives."
Tao Qinghong asked: "What's his name?"
"Fang Yongyan."
"Is that your real name?"
"Who knows... Well, Shanghai is so big. Finding one person among millions of people is like finding a needle in a haystack."
Tao Qinghong thought for a while and asked, "How did you meet him?"
"Once, the gendarmerie arrested the Communists. Mr. Fang was a foreigner and not very familiar with the roads. I hid him at home. Afterwards, Mr. Fang said that if anything happened, I would go to Shanghai to find him."
"Didn't Mr. Fang leave you an address?"
"Keep it. I secretly went there a few days ago and it has been demolished..."
