Chapter 78 77

Xiaohe, having eaten Ruixuan's nails, stood there blankly, looking at the house that turned out to be his own.He thought of his former self, Da Chi Bao, Tong Fang, and his daughters.He couldn't understand how he had come to this world.After thinking about it, he couldn't think of any fault of his own; if there really was karma, since he was not at fault, how could he have such a miserable retribution?The dignified Guan Xiaohe will have no place to live!With a long sigh, he walked out of the sheep pen. It was almost dark, where was he going?On weekdays, he always thought that everything in Peiping was prepared for him: the rickshaw was for him to travel, as long as he nodded his head, he would immediately have two legs to run for him; the street lamps were for him to illuminate, so that his The satin shoes would not tread on dirt; the shop was open for him, and when he touched the purse, the merchants came to attend to him like a pack of dogs.Now, foreign cars, shops, and street lamps are still on the street, and he feels bleak, lonely, and sad.No one greeted him, and he didn't know where to go. Everything in Peiping was not prepared for him!why?why?He can't think of a reason!

He didn't dare to get angry, because if he got angry and did something contrary to bowing deeply and walking slowly, something might go wrong.He doesn't regret what he did before, because he only feels that everything before is worth remembering and being proud of; the past, especially after Da Chibao became the director, was his golden age; would be a mistake! His stomach rumbled.Hunger was the most pressing problem; he forgot about anything else, but how he could get something to eat right away.He decided to go to Lan Dongyang.He knew that Dongyang was a miser, but he also believed in his sharp tongue; even if Dongyang was really a ghost, he believed it, and he would convince the ghost.

Dongyang, because of his experience in currying favor with the Japanese, knows that anyone who is eager for something will come before the appointed time; he himself is like that.He also knows that the sooner the begging person comes, the more the person being asked will put on airs and deliberately refuse to come out to meet with him; he himself has suffered such indifference and torture many times.Therefore, as soon as he saw Xiaohe coming tonight, he immediately became suspicious: probably Xiaohe was eager to ask for help, and the eagerness to ask for help showed that Zhaodi might not really be a spy.So, he asked Xiaohe straight to the point:

"Tell me, is it true that you recruited a younger brother?" Xiaohe seemed to be stung by a wasp suddenly: "Oh! How can you not believe my words? Don't you think about it, do I dare to make fun of the Dongyang people?" Dongyang was stunned for a while, thinking that Xiaohe had not lied talk. "Tell me, where can I find her?" "Then—" Xiaohe dared not tell her address, for fear of going to prison again. "Then, you know, the address of the secret agent is not allowed to be told to others!" "I can't find her, what else can I say? What about you? You can't find her either?" "I—" Xiaohe didn't know how to answer.

"Okay, don't waste my time! Since you can't find her, I have to use Qi Ruifeng!" "Ruifeng? He lied to you. If he were a spy, I would be the emperor of Japan!" "Xiaohe, how dare you make fun of the emperor in front of me?" Dongyang stood up, eyes hanging, and bowed to Dongfang bow. "Ouch, I was wrong! I apologize!" "You and Ruifeng are liars, get out!" "I haven't eaten yet, Dongyang!" "I, this is not a restaurant! Get out! You dare to tease the director, ha!" "Where's the wife? I'll see the wife!" Xiaohe was really anxious and wanted to ask Fat Juzi for help.

Fat Juzi just walked in from the outside, and when she saw Xiaohe, she was furious.Because she couldn't get the director of the Prostitute Inspection Office, she hated everyone these days; Xiaohe was the husband of the big red bag, which made her especially angry. "Mrs. Director!" Xiao He called softly, in order to impress women's compassion. Fat Juzi didn't make a sound, just spat and walked in. Xiaohe's face turned as green as Dongyang's.With cold sweat on his head, he walked out slowly. Having already reached the gate, he had an idea, walked back and said to Dongyang: "Dongyang, I don't care about you! Your attitude is right! For example, if you are me and I am the director, don't I treat you like this? Yes , You are right, it should be so! But, you remember, Zhaodi is really a spy, one day, when I see her, you should be careful!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out.

Dongyang chased him out.He doesn't know what it means not to kill people, and what it means to maintain popularity, but he knows how powerful the spies of the military department are.He grabbed Xiaohe: "Come back! I'll give you a meal!" He thought that a meal would be able to bribe Xiaohe, because he never gave anyone a grain of rice for nothing.There was a smile on Xiaohe's face again. At this time, Ruifeng didn't dare to come out to greet his eldest brother in the house, for fear that his eldest brother would scold him like a grandfather.The next morning, he waited for his eldest brother to go to work before he dared to get up.He got up, ate something indiscriminately, and then hid in the room to think: should he go to Dongyang or not.Thinking of Chrysanthemum, he was embarrassed to go.Thinking that Dongyang might give him something to do, he was willing to go.He knew that he lied to Dongyang yesterday; then, if what Dongyang needed was a spy, what would he do?After thinking for a long time, he chuckled: "Come here under cover! We'll talk about it later!" Thinking about it, he decided to go see Dongyang.He felt that it was the most appropriate way for a blind cat to kill a mouse.He shaved his face carefully, put on clean clothes inside and out, asked his sister-in-law for some pocket money, and then walked out of the house looking brand new.

The weather is very sunny, although the temperature is quite high, but there is a cool breeze from time to time which makes people feel comfortable.With his dry face raised, Ruifeng stretched out his arms after walking a few steps, letting the cool breeze blow his crotch, making him look a little ecstatic.He forgot his grandfather's scolding and the suffering in prison, but he only wanted to "cooperate" with Dongyang wholeheartedly and create a new path for himself. When he arrived at the blue mansion, he didn't dare to call the door; what would he do if he really ran into Fat Chrysanthemum?If there is one thing in his life that he feels ashamed of, it is that he lost his wife and did not dare to fight Dongyang.

After standing for a long time, he still couldn't decide whether to call the door or not.Suddenly the door opened, and a young man politely let Ruifeng in.Ruifeng no longer hesitated, and walked in with the young man.He said in his heart: "Dongyang is waiting for me sincerely, there is a door!" Dongyang, there is another young man standing in the courtyard.Ruifeng was afraid of seeing Fat Chrysanthemum, but he seemed willing to see her, so he kept looking around.He heard a cough in the room, very similar to Chrysanthemum's voice.His heart skipped a beat. Dongyang slanted his green face, because he straightened his eyes, and stared at Ruifeng.Ruifeng smiled inexplicably.Dongyang raised his eyes fiercely, and asked, "You said, you are a spy, really?"

Ruifeng, who was used to telling lies, answered bravely: "That can still be fake?" Dongyang asked the two young people, "Did you hear that?" caught in the middle.Ruifeng couldn't figure out what was going on, and felt a little flustered, asking repeatedly: "What's going on? What's going on?" While asking, he thought of the best idea, run!However, just as he was about to lift his foot, he felt two hard objects pressing against his ribs, one left and one right.He didn't dare to move anymore, his face was pale, and he opened his mouth for a long time before he asked, "Dongyang, what's wrong with me?" "You, pretending to be a spy!" Dongyang waved his hand at the two young people, "Take him away!"

Ruifeng was in a hurry and yelled, "Juzi? Help me!" Chrysanthemum did not come out.The two youths pushed the hard thing on Ruifeng's body with all their strength. He didn't dare to make a sound, and followed them out. In this way, Ruifeng went to prison again. Dongyang is very proud.He knew that Ruifeng was a person who had no guts and was not worthy of bullying, but he felt comfortable in his mind when he was able to take this opportunity to put him in prison: firstly, he could make more meritorious service by arresting one more person; It turned out that by being able to put Ruifeng in prison, he showed his strength to Juzi, and he could also clear away the little scruples he had about Ruifeng in his heart.As a result, Ruifeng seemed to be the only husband of Fat Juzi.Yes, he had to teach Ruifeng to die in prison.It had come to him on the spur of the moment, but the idea, if venomous, seemed closer to inspiration than his own contrived plan; he would have liked to write a poem. No, he still doesn't care about writing poetry, he has to arrange for Ruifeng's death first! When it was time for dinner, Ruifeng hadn't come back yet, so everyone didn't think it was very strange.It was getting dark and he hadn't come back yet. Old man Qi began to babble: "I have taught the Japanese people to live so many days, but I still don't know what to do; what are you going to do, and you won't come back after dark!" Hearing the old man's nagging, everyone was still not very relieved. They all thought that the second child had just come out of prison, and he would wander around as much as possible like a bird out of the cage; he would definitely come back after a while. After another half day, old man Qi started nagging again.Chattering in his mouth, but sad in his heart, the old man thought that he shouldn't have scolded Ruifeng face to face just after he came out of prison.If Ruifeng died because of being scolded, and ran out of Peiping like a junior, the old man felt that he was too sorry for the ancestors of the Qi family; Sorry for the responsibility of the ancestors.Thinking about it this way, he began to forget all Ruifeng's bad deeds, and only felt that he was a member of the Qi family, and he must not cause any more trouble. When it was time to go to bed, even Mrs. Tianyou couldn't hold back anymore.In the past, Ruifeng often came back very late, she was never so worried.Today, she seemed to have a premonition that made her heart flutter and restless. It was still hot in the house at night.Everyone pretended to be asleep, but no one could fall asleep.After a while, the little girl cried twice as if she had prickly heat; after a while, old man Qi heaved a long sigh;The dark sky, the hot air, and the uneasy mood made the whole family feel that something terrible was lurking in the dark.No one likes Ruifeng, really; but the more people know that he is boring and ignorant, the more they worry about him. It was almost dawn, and the heat in the room dissipated, and there was a bit of cool breeze, so everyone fell asleep drowsily. Yunmei woke up very early.However, as soon as he left the house, he saw old man Qi sitting in the courtyard.The old man's white hair, especially those on the top of his head, trembled slightly in the morning wind, trembling very desolately.The wrinkles on his face seemed to be much deeper than before, and they were also very dark. The old man's jacket was only buttoned up, exposing a part of his chest. The skin there was also wrinkled and dark, as if he had no blood. "Why do you get up so early, old man?" Yunmei asked in a low voice. The old man didn't answer for a long time.With his head down, his chin seemed to be pushing into the thin chest.After a long time, he let out a long sigh, lowered his head, and said, "Hmph! It was all wrong, and I was wrong! I said that the disaster in Peiping would not last three months; three months? Years! I calculated, no matter what How, we won’t go hungry; hum! Look at the little girl, look at your mother-in-law! I figured, even if our Qi family suffers a little bit, it may not be able to hurt the population; but, first your father-in-law, now, and It's the second child's turn!" "The second child will not go wrong, don't worry, old man!" Yunmei said with a forced smile. The old man still lowered his head, but his voice raised a bit: "Why can't something go wrong? In these years, who dares to pat his chest and not tell what's wrong? I'm wrong! You shouldn't scold him like that when the second child just came back! " "Shouldn't he be scolding? Grandpa!" The old man turned his eyes to Yunmei and said nothing more. The cool wind wakes up the summer morning.The birds sang in different tones, the morning glories unfurled their little trumpets under the dew, the spotted flies flew from here to there, and the spiders weaved new webs in the corners of the house.The world is beautiful, but it seems that only people don't know much about it; they make others bleed for their own lives; in order to display their prestige, they smash a city with artillery fire in an instant. As soon as Ruixuan opened his eyes, he frowned.The beautiful Xia Chen was a kind of mockery to him. When he went out of the house, he saw his grandfather, and quickly called out: "Grandpa!" The old man didn't hum, and just sat with his head bowed. Ruixuan walked slowly towards the outer courtyard.Walking to the screen wall, he saw a small paper bag on the ground.His heart moved immediately.It was Toyoshi, and he recognized it.The thin white string on the bag is also from Toyo.After being stunned for a while, he quickly picked up the paper bag and pulled the rope away.Inside is a coat from Ruifeng.Holding the coat, his tears suddenly fell.He hates the second child, but they are brothers after all!Gently opened the street door, he went to find Inspector Bai. After finding Inspector Bai, Ruixuan said very simply: "Our second child went out wearing this coat yesterday, and someone threw it in from outside the wall this morning, and it was well wrapped." Looking at Ruixuan, looking at the coat, the white inspector nodded, "When they kill people, they always send back a piece of clothing; the second child is probably—it's over!" Hearing what Inspector Bai said was exactly the same as what he thought, Ruixuan couldn't think of anything else to say. Inspector Bai sighed. "Hmph, although the second child is not very nice, but there is no death penalty!" He opened the household registration booklet. "Mr. Qi, this coat is the notification letter, don't give him any food in the future!" As he said, he wrote "Ruifeng" with a black line on it. "Inspector Bai!" Ruixuan said with trembling lips, "shall I leave this coat here? Don't teach my grandfather to see it! My father...is the second child again, grandfather can't stand it! Please help I'm busy, don't tell anyone about this!" "I understand! I must help!" Bai Inspector wrapped up the coat again. "Mr. Qi, don't be sad! Whether you are a good person or an evil person, you will all die soon!" Ruixuan hurriedly went to look for Fourth Master Li.Briefly explaining the matter, he asked the old man: "When the grain certificate is issued, don't tell my grandfather that there is a grain shortage! Also, in two days, you see the opportunity and tell my grandfather that you saw Rui Rich!" "Do I have to lie?" "Then what can I do! As long as you say you saw the second child, grandfather will believe your words, don't worry; otherwise, the old man will get sick! If there is something wrong with the old man, tell me what to do? I have already So poor, can you still afford funerals?" "Okay! You are right!" Old Man Li nodded. After bidding farewell to Fourth Master Li, Ruixuan walked slowly home. Walking into the house, he can't seem to move anymore.He sat in the doorway and said to himself half aloud and half silently: "You know that the behavior of the second child is wrong, why didn't you teach him earlier? Slapping him a few times is better than teaching him to die at the hands of the Japanese." Strong! Why do you only care about everyone's superficial harmony, and let the second child's temper fool around? Well, now that he is dead, you go and beg Bai Inspector, Li Siye, to cover up the truth; The second is a good man, he must live; even if he dies, he must try to make it look like he is still alive! What is the way? You hate him and refuse to teach him; I hope he lives! You can only perfunctory, cover up, nothing else! Did your father teach the enemy to kill him, revenge? No! Now your younger brother, no matter how good or bad he is, taught the Japanese to kill him again. Not only do you not want to Revenge, and you don't teach others to speak up, and hide the crime from the Japanese... You are also considered a person!!!" After scolding himself like this for a while, he stood up listlessly. Old man Qi was still sitting there. The grandparents and grandchildren glanced at each other, but no one said anything.
