Chapter 32 7. Three glasses of wine

My uncle sneaked into Zhengzhou from Luohe, turned left and right in the streets and alleys where the "blackout" was implemented, and found a house number.He saw that it was a private house, and the surroundings were clean, so he knocked on the door knocker lightly.The door opened halfway, revealing the pretty face of a young woman.The uncle asked, "Does Ms. Xiao Cuihua live here?" The woman smiled and said, "Where are you from, sir?" The uncle said, "I am He Shi's cousin, and I come from my hometown." "It's a distinguished guest from Staff Officer He's family! I'm Xiao Cuihua, please come in, please come in!" The uncle followed her into a quiet courtyard, walked around a big house, unlocked a small room, turned on the light, and invited her When he entered the hut, there was a smell of toilet water on his face.Xiao Cuihua brought him face wash and tea, and said, "Mr., please wash your face and drink some tea. I'll go and congratulate the staff officer right away." After Xiao Cuihua left, his uncle saw the pictures of ladies on the wall, but he couldn't guess Xiao Cuihua's name. I just wondered secretly.

Not long after, my uncle heard the courtyard door creak, and he bolted the door again.He Shi in uniform walked in hurriedly.The two pairs of eyes looked at each other burningly.One said: "I'm thin!" The other said: "I'm not old yet!" Then, Shizi complained repeatedly: "I sent a message two years ago asking you to come to me, why didn't you come? Do you know You are a key criminal who was ordered by the governor to be wanted by the whole province, and the police headquarters strictly ordered to arrest you? The Shanzhou commissioner couldn't deal with you, and the governor removed him. Do you know? You don't come to see your brother, that's all. Why did you go to Yichuan to kill people again?"

My uncle said: "That is an evil gentry with more than a dozen lives. He killed peasants and assassinated anti-Japanese fighters!" "Who gave you the right to kill? If you kill him, this will alarm the governor and the headquarters again! You were worried that you could not be found, and you went to Nanyang to become the teaching director and taught all the students to be Communists." Do you think that spies are all free? You really can! I told you to "swipe around" through the net again. This time you should come here to find your brother, why did you wander around Luohe again? ? The inspection office is currently suppressing your latest information, and the spy personnel have met you. If it weren't for your clever makeup, he would be dazzled for a while, and your brother would have to prepare a coffin for you!"

The uncle was taken aback and said: "Your espionage work is so good!" Shi Zi said, "No matter how powerful you are, you will be forced to run away!" "Brother, is it inconvenient for me to come to you?" "This hut is just for you, I'll just imprison you here!" "Brother, hurry up and get me something to eat!" "Nonsense! I told you to eat well and sleep well, but you are not allowed to go out, and you are only given two days, so hurry up and leave!" "I want to stay a few days longer." "No, this is not visiting relatives!"

"Your siblings... are my daughter-in-law..." "Hey, are you married?" "She told your spies to catch her." "What?" "I want to stay with you and wait for news." "Damn it, those who wear sunglasses are so uninteresting!" "May I ask who Ms. Xiao Cuihua is?" Shi Zi blushed, "It's a good girl who was almost sold to a brothel by a trafficker. She has a clean heart. The devils have taken over her house, and her family members have died. Anyway, she is an oppressed class." A few days later, the third aunt, with the baby in her arms, found the small courtyard according to the address in the envelope, which brought unexpected joy to the uncle and brother.

After the third aunt arrived, Shi Zi only appeared once, so that the third aunt had a good rest and handed them over to Xiao Cuihua to take care of them.Xiao Cuihua is quiet, virtuous, considerate, and never speaks too much, just saying that it is windy outside and they are not allowed to leave the house.When the third aunt first came, she didn't know what to do, and said, "Sister Shi Zi, you have worked so hard!" Xiao Cuihua blushed, and said, "I really can't bear this name! Officer He thought highly of me and asked me to serve the distinguished guests at home. It's too late for me to be grateful!" Eye circles turned red, and he left with tears in his eyes.The uncle said: "Look at you, you have made a mistake of putschism!"

On the third night when Sanyi came to Zhengzhou, Shi Zi came in plain clothes.The third aunt said: "Brother Shi Zi, I really don't know how to thank you!" Shi Zi said: "You call me brother after Sheng Zi, and you have everything. On the other hand, you are still the new daughter-in-law of the He family. Customs, my elder brother is going to give a meeting gift." Then, he took out a gold ring, "Take it, and when the two of you are separated next time, sell it, and you can also buy a biscuit and a hot drink. Soup, stop begging for food with your baby in your arms, it will make me feel sad when I see it!" A few words made the third aunt burst into tears.Shi Zi said again: "I heard from Shengzi that you are also an intellectual from a wealthy family. Like Shengzi, you are not a poor man who cannot survive without rebellion, but you are blessed and do not enjoy it. You have your 'ism' in your heart. Put aside' Do not talk about "ism", just talk about being a human being, not living for yourself, and I respect you from the bottom of my heart if you can go through fire and water for your "ism".

The third aunt said: "Brother Shi Zi, I know that you are a patriotic soldier who was wounded many times for the War of Resistance Against Japan. Sheng Zi and I respect you very much. Sheng Zi said that his 'KMT-Communist cooperation' with Brother Shi Zi can be said to be 'brotherly love'." !" Shi Zi smiled and said, "I don't know how to write the word 'loyalty' to the Kuomintang! Shengzi, tell me, Guan Yunchang can't be said to be disloyal to Liu Bei, but why did he let Cao Cao go on Huarong Road?" My uncle smiled and said, "You compare me to Cao Cao!"

"No matter what you say, the two of us grew up hanging on Guan Ye's wrist!" Shizi was talking, looking at his watch from time to time.When it was getting dark, he asked Xiao Cuihua to bring a food box from the restaurant, and asked her to bring the wine quickly.Xiao Cuihua poured the wine, and quit with a sense of humor. My uncle said: "You can't drink, this is not the bottom of the slope!" Shi Zi said, "Just drink three cups, and I have three words to say." My uncle said, "Okay, I'll listen to you!" Shi Zi picked up the wine glass and said: "This first glass is to celebrate the match made in heaven between you two 'comrades', and this little nephew, I think he looks like a little 'comrade'!"

The uncle asked: "How did your little nephew become a 'comrade'?" "That's what you said!" Shi Zi said. "My little nephew is suffering from 'whooping cough'. When the spies came to arrest you, he stopped coughing. If he coughs again, there will be no 'comrades' like you two." No!" He clinked glasses with Shengzi, patted the purse beside him, and said, "I brought some baby medicine." The third aunt said, "Thank you very much!" Shi Zi raised his second glass of wine, "This second glass is to celebrate that the intelligence department leaked you two to your brother. Such a good thing may not happen again in the future, you must be careful! Okay, drink!"

Shizi raised his third glass of wine again, "This third glass is a farewell wine." He looked at his watch, "In half an hour, I will take you on the road in a car. The driver is the auto soldier I brought out. Nanshan County, our county He is a poor boy who was caught by the strong men, and he is also an oppressed class. He will send you to avoid Zhengzhou Station and go to Xingyang to get on the train. Once you leave Tongguan, Henan will not be able to control you.” He patted the purse next to him again. , "Here are two tickets, a little money, and a route opened by the police headquarters. When you get to the place, you must give me an answer, so as not to miss it, the address is the same." Saying that, he stood up. Uncle asked: "Leave as soon as you say, is something wrong?" Shi Zi said: "The matter is not serious. The headquarters has received information that two fugitives from the Communist Party may have sneaked into Zhengzhou. Tonight at 11 o'clock sharp, the military and police jointly dispatched to conduct a surprise household registration check." Uncle embraced Shi Zi and said sadly, "I forgot one more thing!" "What's the matter?" "I want to see your wounds!" "It's not worth seeing, it was bitten by the little devil!"
