But Guan Xiugu said that she had a private matter to negotiate with Shen Guoying, which surprised him, since he had never had any contact with this lady, how could he have any personal matters to negotiate with?At that time, I looked at Xiugu but couldn't speak.Xiu Gu smiled slightly and said, "Shen Tongzhi, you have to thank me! The General Liu you hated four years ago often made trouble with you. You can't deal with him. I got rid of that man for you." Bi, raised his eyebrows, and smiled again: "If Liu Dezhu didn't die, maybe you wouldn't be so proud later, right?" Shen Tong raised his head and said: "Oh! Yes. I said your name, I know it very well. That time After the coup, rumors circulated outside that the father and daughter surnamed Guan did it, and it turned out to be Ms. Guan. To be honest, the coup was fortunately the internal response of Beijing’s first removal of the patrol envoy Liu. But Those who took advantage of it are now dead and gone, and there is no way to settle this old debt." Xiu Gu smiled and shook her head twice, and said: "You are wrong! You get promoted and get rich, you I don't care if I get promoted and get rich. And that time I killed Liu Dezhu, I did it for my own personal business, which has nothing to do with you. But it doesn't have anything to do with you. Speaking carefully, it has something to do with you "Shen Guoying said: "Ms. Guan said this, I am a little confused." Xiu Gu smiled and said: "Your house, until now, has not still locked up a crazy woman? I mean her. Now, I ask you, let me see her."

It doesn't matter what you said, Shen Guoying stopped the smile on his face, stood up suddenly, looked at Xiugu, and said in a deep thought: "You are for her? - Yes, she is Liu Dezhu's Mrs. Ru, who was abused in the past. What does this have to do with Ms. Guan?" Xiugu smiled and said, "You don't really understand this matter, which is strange." Shen Guoying looked at Li Yongsheng, and there was something she wanted to ask, but it was inconvenient to ask. I just muttered.Li Yongsheng couldn't help himself.Regarding Xiugu's assassination of General Liu, Guan Shoufeng felt that it was his daughter's proud work. When he was with Li Yongsheng outside Guanwai, he kept mentioning it from time to time. .At this time, Li Yongsheng also completely said what Guan Shoufeng told him.

When Shen Guoying heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, clapped her hands and said, "It turns out that Ms. Guan and Feng Xi are still very good sisters. This is great! We immediately introduced Ms. Guan to see her. She is sometimes a little sober now, maybe I know you." Xiu Gu shook her head and said, "No, when I went to see her like this, she thought it was a soldier. In the mule cart, I have a bag of clothes. Please lend me a room. Change. I'm very busy, so I came here before I had time to change at home." Shen Guoying said, "Yes, yes." Then she called an old lady from the upper room and asked her to take the bag from the mule cart. Take Guan Xiugu to change clothes.

After a while, Xiu Gu changed into women's long clothes and came out, bit her lower lip and smiled slightly.Shen Guoying said with a smile: "Ms. Guan's men's clothes are still not very similar; now that she has changed into women's clothes, there is indeed a heroic look between her brows!" Xiu Gu didn't say anything, but just smiled.Shen Guoying saw that although she was not difficult to get along with, she was unwilling to go along with others, and it was inconvenient to talk too much, so she led her and Li Yongsheng to Fengxi's room where she was recuperating.

On this day, it was Mrs. Shen who came to deliver a change of clothes to Fengxi. Seeing Guan Xiugu coming, she couldn't help but greeted her with a "Yeah", and clung to her hand and shouted: "Miss, how are you? I haven't seen you for many years." " Xiu Gu said: "Okay, I see our sister is here." As she said this, her eyes had already shot into the room.Seeing that Feng Xi had grown more plump, she was sitting on a small iron bed with a pillow in her arms, she didn't care about the things in her arms, she raised her head slightly, squinted her eyes, and just looked at the people who came in.Xiugu stopped at a distance, nodded to her twice, and waved to her twice.Feng Xi looked at it for a long time, threw the pillow away, jumped forward, shook Xiu Gu's hand and said, "You are Sister Guan!" But the other hand stretched out to touch Xiu Gu's face, and said with a smile: " Are you really Miss Guan? Isn’t this a dream? Isn’t this a dream?” Xiu Gu nodded with a smile, “Who says it’s a dream? Do you understand now?” Feng Xi asked, “Has Uncle Fan come back?” Xiu Gu said: “ He's back, please wake up." Feng Xi held Xiu Gu's hand in her hand, and cried out with a wow.Aunt Shen rushed forward, parted her hand, stroked her back with her hand and said, "My child, I haven't forgotten you, and came to see you specially, please understand, don't make trouble when you see people?" After Feng Xi cried , but couldn't help crying, jumping and shouting, making a fuss.Aunt Shen and the two old women managed to persuade her to get up, and then pushed her to the bed and lay down.

Xiu Gu stood in the room, even though she looked at Feng Xi, she couldn't help being dumbfounded.Shen Guoying urged Xiugu to come out, and called Aunt Shen, and they sat together in the living room.Pointing to Xiugu, he said to Aunt Shen: "This girl is amazing. Her father and daughter brought thousands of people outside the pass to serve as volunteers to avenge the country. I saw her courage, and I felt ashamed. No, I bought bullets and sent them outside the customs myself. In this way, my family belongs to my brother and sister-in-law. Your daughter can no longer recuperate with me. But if you don’t recuperate with me, why should you send her A lunatic asylum? I have researched many times with the doctor, and I think she is not completely ignorant, and we have determined the reason why her madness occurred. We will use that plot to lure her again. This time. Good, maybe I woke her up. It’s not good, it doesn’t matter if she is still crazy like this. I’m afraid that if the stimulation is severe, it will lead her to something wrong. Let me discuss it with you. Can you just let me do it?" Shen Da Niang said: "Why can't I let go? After feeding such a lunatic who doesn't know anything, most of them are dead. Let her good luck cure her If her illness can’t be cured, I’ll be able to take advantage of her; if her illness can’t be cured, even if she dies, that’s how she should be, so what can I say!” Shen Guoying said: “I heard from Captain Li today, On the day Fengxi went crazy, Ms. Guan witnessed it with her own eyes. Because Liu Dezhu beat her and made her sing again. The old lady also said that he had beaten to death a concubine before, so she got angry, anxious and afraid, and became this Madness. If this is the reason, it will be easy to deal with. The house where Liu Dezhu lived before is now vacant. Ms. Guan must still remember how the lady is here, and the rooms above and below her bedroom. Please ask Ms. Guan to come out and give pointers, arrange the arrangement as before, and then arrange it again, and then quietly move her to the new house when she is sleeping. I have an adjutant under my command, who is quite tall. A bit like General Liu, although the eyebrows are lighter and there is no beard, this can be pretended. On that day, let him pretend to be General Liu and beat her with a whip; later, let Ms. Guan pretend to be the same day, and talk to him , vividly, the scene is so real, maybe she really woke up." Xiugu smiled and said, "This method is good, I was so impressed with what happened that day, and now I close my eyes, I can completely remember it. , let me take someone to arrange it." Shen Guoying said: "That's really great, everything depends on Ms. Guan." Saying that, she cupped her hands.Xiu Gu said to Aunt Shen: "Auntie, you go back first, and I will come to see you later."If Gu Xiu had anything to say, she sent Aunt Shen away.

Here Xiugu stood up suddenly, looked at Shen Guoying and said, "I have something to ask you, if Fengxi's illness recovers, can you still follow us outside the pass?" Shen Guoying said, "What is that?" Words? The important matter of saving the country, I can at least suspend it for a woman. In a word, whether she wakes up or dies, I just do this once. The two of you have set a date to leave, and I will never delay. To tell you the truth, I have been an official for many years, and I have about 100,000 yuan in my hands. In addition to the real estate in Beijing, I also have 80,000 yuan in the bank. I am alone, and I can What is the use of this much money for self-sufficiency? In addition to keeping 20,000 yuan, I am determined to raise the remaining 60,000 yuan together. I will use 50,000 yuan to buy bullets for you, and 10,000 yuan for you. Buy medicines. As a military leader, he is always an expert in buying arms. In Tianjin, I still have two ways to buy arms. Today I will take the night train to Tianjin. If I find the old way, I will pay the deposit Buy the bullets. When I come back, I will hand over the contract to you. Then, don’t ask me whether I will go with you, you can rest assured." He said with a smile and said with a smile: "To be honest, I went bankrupt to help you. If you don’t go and have a look, you don’t feel at ease. If you don’t want me to go, I still want to go. I can’t release all the bullets I bought with my money, I have to release a few myself.” Xiugu said "Okay! When will I come tomorrow to wait for your reply?" Shen Guoying said: "Since I agreed, the sooner I can go, the better. I will send people and Ms. Guan to the former site of General Liu's house to decorate, and on the other hand Working in Tianjin. Whether I come back tomorrow or not, I will call home to report at any time.” Xiu Gu smiled to Li Yongsheng: “This Mr. Shen’s words are so heartwarming. I have nothing to say, just follow through. Captain Li, look How is it?" Li Yongsheng said with a smile: "At last, I didn't introduce this matter in vain, and I have nothing to say. I feel so happy in my heart, and I can only follow along and watch the excitement."

At that moment, Shen Guoying called an old servant, and in front of Xiugu, gave him instructions, telling him to follow Xiugu's command and arrange everything at the former Liu family site tomorrow.Fortunately, it was an empty house, and the landlord was an acquaintance, so it was not a problem how to arrange it.Although the old servant felt that the master's order was a bit outrageous, but seeing him say it so solemnly, he didn't dare to enter a word, and agreed to retreat. Xiugu still went to change into the man's uniform, and smiled at Shen Guoying: "My address is not certain..." Shen Guoying said: "I don't know your address either, you come to me tomorrow, just bring the servant It's gone." Xiugu stood firmer than her heels, raised her hands to him with her chest out, and walked out with Li Yongsheng.

That night, Shen Guoying really went to Tianjin.In the Tianjin Concession, there was a kind of foreigner who secretly sold arms. From the 23rd year of the Republic of China to the present, they have always been in a certain place.Most of the credit for the civil strife in China over the years is probably due to them, so the soldiers who have been in the civil war in China for a long time have some connections with them.Shen Guoying arrived in Tianjin this evening, looking for someone who sells arms, and he succeeded as soon as he talked.In the afternoon of the next day, I took the train back.He did it quickly, and Xiugu in Beiping did not take too long to decorate the old site of the Liu family. By half a day, it was almost done. Everyone was very happy to meet and talk.

In the afternoon of the next day, Shen Guoying waited for Fengxi to fall asleep, then quietly carried her in a sedan car with the curtain down, and took her to Liu's house.When he got there, he took a cloak and covered his head, and sent him to the upstairs where he lived that day.Inside the room was a very small electric lamp, covered with a dark green gauze, illuminating the room very darkly. Besides, Feng Xi was already awake after being carried repeatedly.Once in the room, looking at the various layouts, he seemed a little surprised, supported his head with his hands, closed his eyes for a while, thought about it, and then opened them again.When I looked at it again, it was not bad, the copper bed, gauze curtain, brocade quilt, window screen, everything I had enjoyed before.See that there is no second person in this room, and there is no way to ask anyone.It seems that I have had such a dream, and now I have come to this dream again.When he was about to go out, the door was locked tightly again.Open a corner of the window screen and look out, hehe!It is a wide corridor, which I have been to before.Just as he was so puzzled, he suddenly heard Xiu Gu shout loudly on the stairs: "The general is back." Feng Xi was startled when she heard this.Not long after, the door opened, and two old women came in, and said with a straight face: "The general is back from Tianjin, I invite my wife to go, I have something to say." Feng Xi couldn't help but followed them out.Walking into General Liu's room, he saw General Liu's face full of anger, and said in a Baoding voice, "I ask you, what are you doing at Xiannong'an by yourself today?" He slapped the table, pointed at her and cursed, "Wow!If I treat you like this, you want me to be a bastard. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know how good I am!You see, what is this? "As he said, he pointed his hand at the wall. When Fengxi looked at it, it was a rattan whip. How could she not recognize this rattan whip! With a sound of wow, he cried out. General Liu didn't even talk, and jumped Going forward, he took the rattan whip into his hand, pointed at Fengxi's side, and swung it straight towards her. Although he never hit her, the whip hit a chair beside Fengxi, and it just made a crackling sound. Fengxi was so big Mouth, barking indiscriminately, seeing a table next to her, she shrank down. She didn't shrink down, but after she did, General Liu's cock got bigger. He took the whip, fixed the table legs, and Twitching desperately, Feng Xi shrank into a ball in fright, and only called "Help me".

At this moment, Xiugu came in, rushed forward, hugged General Liu's arm with both hands, and asked him: "General, if you have something to say, just ask her slowly, beat her to death, and ask him." It's useless if you don't come here." Feng Xi shrank under the table, crying loudly: "Sister Guan, help me! Sister Guan, help me!" Listening to her words, Xiu Gu was no different from an ordinary person, just under the table, dragged her out.As soon as she came out, she immediately hid in Xiugu's arms and shouted: "Eldest sister, it's terrible, please help me, I'm covered in injuries." Xiugu dragged her to her room to go.The electric light was bright, illuminating everything in the room clearly.Feng Xi hid in Xiu Gu's arms, let her hug her, and said with tears: "Eldest sister, where is this place, am I dreaming?" Just think about it." Feng Xi scratched her head with one hand, turned her eyes upwards, and went to concentrate on thinking again.After thinking for a long time, she suddenly cried, "I'm dreaming! Or, did I wake up from a dream?" When he said that, he hid in Xiugu's arms and just kept crying.Xiu Gu put her arms around her waist with one hand, stroked her hair with the other, and comforted her, "It doesn't matter, whether it's a dream or a real thing, I'm here to protect you. You go to bed and lie down." Go." So he embraced her with both arms, put her on the bed, and sat down on a chair in front of the bed.Feng Xi stopped screaming or crying, and lay on the bed alone, closing her eyes, quietly thinking about the past.After thinking about it for two hours, Xiu Gu didn't interrupt her and let her think about it quietly.Feng Xi sat up suddenly, patted the quilt on the head and said: "I remember, it's not a dream, it's not a dream, I'm confused, I'm confused." Xiugu pressed her to lie down, and comforted her again. "Don't be impatient, just think about it slowly. As soon as you wake up, I will tell you what's wrong with you." Feng Xi closed her eyes slightly after hearing what she said, thinking about going to bed. Think about it, and stick a finger into your mouth and bite it with your teeth.She closed her eyes, and bit her finger slightly, feeling some pain, so she took it out and said incessantly: "The finger hurts too, it's not a dream, it's not a dream." Xiu Gu let her be alone He fell asleep comfortably without disturbing her. At this moment, Shen Guoying walked up and down the corridor, kept looking in from the window, saw that there was no movement inside, but quietly pushed the door in and asked Xiu Gu, "What's the matter?" He stood up, took a tug at the front of his shirt, nodded to him with a slight smile, and said, "She is awake, but her spirit is not easy to recover, you stay here to guard her, I have to go." Shen Guoying said: "But she just now When she wakes up, she has to have an acquaintance by her side." Xiugu said: "Mr. Shen has been with her for several years, is he still an acquaintance? Besides, her mother can also come, why do I need to be here? We There is an urgent meeting to be held tonight, and there is no further delay." After finishing speaking, he got up and left.Shen Guoying was also anxious to know about Fengxi's situation, since Xiugu was leaving and she was left alone in the room, she asked her slowly, then smiled and walked to the door. At that moment, Shen Guoying turned around and walked to the bed, saw Feng Xi stretched out a hand to the edge of the bed, reached out, held her hand, leaned over and asked her: "Feng Xi, do you understand now? "She was lying quietly on the bed, thinking about something, when Shen Guoying asked, she suddenly turned around and looked at him, said "Yeah", retracted her hand, and immediately rolled into the bed.Shen Guoying looked surprised at her, which is a bit weird, doesn't it mean that she doesn't know me?He stood in front of the bed, staring at Feng Xi in a trance; Feng Xi was lying on the bed, also looking at him in a trance.At first she looked at Shen Guoying in surprise, after a long time, she slowly showed some contemplation, and finally nodded a little, as if she was saying in her heart: I know this person.Shen Guoying said: "Feng Xi, are you awake now?" Feng Xi propped up the bed with both hands, sat up slowly, raised her head slightly, looked at him, just thinking.Shen Guoying came closer, smiled at her and said: You can understand me completely now, right?I have spent five full years of painstaking efforts for your illness.Think about it now, isn't what I said true? "Shen Guoying always thought that his own words could elicit a more practical sentence from Fengxi. However, what Fengxi told him was a sentence that he could never have imagined in his dreams. To know what Fengxi answered, I will explain it next time. .
