Lying on the ground were the notorious local gangsters. This group of people would do anything except good things. Today, the young master of the Zhou family asked someone to find them and said that he would take care of Mr. Tuesday and give them five hundred yuan after the incident.
Originally, this was a trivial matter, but who would have thought that Mr. Zhou had hired bodyguards at some point, and they were so powerful. Now there were more than ten people in the group, all of whom were lame. This was terrible. It's not something that can be settled with five hundred dollars.
So this group of people acted rogue, and Master Zhou didn't dare to tell the story anyway.
Mr. Zhou said with a sinister smile on his face to the gangsters lying on the ground: "Are you going on your own, or will our Zhou family send you away? Or do you guys not want to leave and plan to keep your other leg?"
The gangster leader got up and clasped his fists, "Mr. Tuesday, these guys are too blind to recognize the truth. Today we admit defeat. Please raise your hands, Mr. Tuesday. Let's go on our own and never dare to come again."
The gangsters helped each other get up and walked away in disgrace, causing the people around them to burst into laughter.
Master Zhou looked at his nephew and gave him a deep look. Zhou Peng lowered his head in shame and did not dare to look at his second uncle again.
"Zhou Peng, tell your second uncle carefully, why did you do this? Did your second uncle do something wrong? Is it worth your money to hire someone to kill your own uncle?"
Zhou Peng didn't dare to speak, but the woman behind him spoke: "Didn't you take over all the master's property? You still come to bully us orphans and widowed mothers. Do you have any room to reason?"
Master Zhou was angry: "Who are you? How dare you call yourself a widowed mother? The child was taught badly by you, a bitch. Come here, tie her up and send her to Hongxiu Zhao. Tell the old madam, if I see If you let her out again, I'll smash up their store."
Several young men rushed up and tied up the woman. The woman was still crying towards Zhou Peng and said: "Peng'er, you just watch them treat your aunt like this? They have no good intentions, and they will have to do it sooner or later." Kill you."
Zhou Peng still lowered his head and said nothing. Mr. Zhouye shouted sternly: "Take her away and sew her mouth shut!"
After the woman was dragged away, Mr. Tuesday said to his nephew: "Go home with your second uncle. My second uncle wants you to take a good look and see if your second uncle has occupied your property."
Master Zhou saw Zhou Peng still standing there in despair, so he ordered people to take Zhou Peng away.
A farce ended with a lot of thunder and a small amount of rain. Master Zhou was so angry that he felt tight in his chest and was silent all the way home without saying a word.
In the evening, Han Laoliu came back and brought good news. An acquaintance of Lao Haishan was found and brought back a person who was sent to pick him up. The second good news is that the conditions of Sacred Heart Hospital are very good and half of the doctors are blond and blue-eyed foreigners, so It should be much safer than Japanese hospitals, and Lao Haishan’s acquaintance recommended this hospital.
Lao Haishan decided to leave tomorrow and let Xiao Wuzi and Er Niu stay here to protect Mr. Tuesday for a while.
But Xiao Wuzi said: "Let Er Niu stay here. Uncle Zhou really needs someone to protect him. I have to go to Fengtian with you. When I get there, I will take the train to Xinjing. This will not delay things."
Although Erniu is somewhat reluctant, he is a warrior and the one who obeys orders the most.
The identity of the person Lao Haishan came to seek refuge with was a bit special. He was actually an official in Manchukuo, and he was not a young official. This surprised everyone secretly, and they were all afraid that this would not be a sheep's mouth.
Bai Jiuye, nicknamed Bai Yaozu, is a Manchu. He turned out to be a big businessman in Emu County. He was even married to the emperor. Therefore, after the founding of Manchukuo, people like them also followed the rising tide. The chief of the bureau under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Fengtian still has some power in his hands.
Bai Jiu's relationship with Lao Haishan was due to a kidnapping many years ago.
At that time, Haishan Camp had not yet surrendered to the Anti-Japanese Alliance. Bai Jiu's family was a wealthy man, so he was targeted. Wei Lianhe, the second treasurer of Haishan Camp, went down to kidnap him. During the period of imprisonment, Lao Haishan came back from a trip to see the meat ticket. The gentle man chatted with him for a few words, but he didn't expect that this meat ticket had no consciousness of being a meat ticket. He had a talk with Lao Haishan, and he actually talked about everything from the international situation to people's livelihood. Lao Haishan chatted with him very speculatively, and even let him go the next day without asking for a penny.
After Bai Jiu returned home, he got a lot of food, weapons, and clothing. He pulled a large cart and took it to the mountains for Lao Haishan, saying that he was supporting Lao Haishan in his fight against the Japanese invaders. In this way, the two became friends. It was Bai Jiu who led Lao Haishan to be recruited by Commander Yang.
Later, the Bai family moved to Fengtian, but Bai Jiu would still send people to contact Lao Haishan every once in a while.
Last year, contact had been cut off. Bai Jiu thought that Lao Haishan was gone. Yesterday Han Laoliu came over and said he was Lao Haishan's brother, which made Bai Jiu very excited. He was an official and had official responsibilities. He was so busy that he couldn't just leave, so he had to send his family to take Lao Haishan back to Fengtian.
The next day, the four of them packed their things and came to say goodbye to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou gave Han Laoliu two small yellow croakers and said that they were not of much help. The money could help Lao Haishan pay for his hospitalization expenses. Han Laoliu was not polite to him because the two of them had a life-long friendship.
Mr. Tuesday gave the two flower-mouthed guns to Xiaowuzi, and also gave him another hundred yuan, saying it was a reward. Xiaowuzi accepted the guns but did not ask for any money. He knew that Mr. Tuesday was very grateful for his life-saving grace yesterday, but Mr. Tuesday was a friend of the Sixth Master and a relative of Xiao Wuzi, and Xiao Wuzi recognized his relatives very well.
Er Niu reluctantly sent them to the car, and Xiao Wuzi asked with a smile: "Brother, are you reluctant to leave me? Or are you reluctant to recruit Sister Di?"
Er Niu blushed again, glared at Xiao Wuzi, but looked at Zhao Di with his peripheral vision.
Zhaodi walked up to Erniu openly, straightened his collar, and said to him: "Brother, we are not here. You should pay more attention to yourself. You have to learn to take care of yourself. We are leaving first. You should go early." Come meet us early after you finish your work."
Er Niu said, "Hey, hey." He agreed hastily.
The four of them waved goodbye to Mr. Zhou and others who came to see them off, and boarded the train bound for Fengtian City.
Fengtian City, Xiaonan Street, Baifu.
When Bai Jiuye saw Lao Haishan, who was so thin that he lost his appearance, his eyes instantly became wet. He stepped forward and held Lao Haishan's hand, saying, "I haven't seen you in the past two years. Why are you so thin?" Fortunately, God has opened his eyes and our old brothers can meet again in our lifetime. The injury is serious, right? I will make arrangements immediately to be hospitalized tomorrow. I have already said hello to the hospital and asked their director, Pierce, to operate on you. , that foreigner is a surgical expert, his skills are definitely like this." After that, he picked Brother Big Brother.
Seeing Lao Haishan chatting calmly with Bai Jiuye, Xiao Wuzi felt half relieved. Lao Haishan is good everywhere, but he is a little too trusting of his brother, otherwise there would be no such thing as Lao Pi. However, after hearing from Lao Haishan that Bai Jiu and Commander Yang knew each other and had a good relationship, Xiao Wuzi recognized that this Manchukuo official was one of his own.
Because Xiaowuzi has grown up so big, there is one person who has a god-like position in his heart, and that is Commander Yang, whom he admires the most.
It should be said that no matter what age, being an official is a pleasure. Lao Haishan was admitted to the Sacred Heart Hospital opened by the French the next day.
Zhaodi was always watching over the bedside. In fact, there were nurses in the hospital.
The money is enough for the time being, but this foreign hospital has good conditions and good prices, and the things used are ridiculously expensive.
Bai Jiu was such a good friend that he rented two rooms for them near the hospital and arranged for Han Laoliu and Xiao Wuzi to live in them. This made it convenient to go to the hospital to take care of Lao Haishan without the embarrassment of being dependent on someone else.
The foreign doctor came, examined Lao Haishan, and said he would be observed for two days and then operated on. Lao Haishan's cough was only caused by shrapnel injuring his lungs, and he could basically recover within one stage of postoperative treatment.
Xiaowuzi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news. So, he told Lao Haishan that he would leave tomorrow and take the train to Xinjing.
Because he has several things that need to be resolved in Xinjing. The first is to bring back the box of tobacco, the second is to send the film to the farmer, the third is to inquire about the whereabouts of Uncle Liu Xiaodian, and the fourth is to inquire about the whereabouts of Lao Pi's two sons.
Han Laoliu asked: "Do you need me to go?" Xiao Wuzi said with a smile: "No, I'll go back quickly. It won't take a few days. Just ask Uncle Zhou for me about the price and sales of the tobacco."
The next morning, Xiaowuzi packed up and went to catch the train. Zhaodi gave him twenty yuan. Xiaowuzi accepted it with a smile. He found that he had found the right person. Zhaodi was definitely a good hand at managing money. Who would be the best in the future? Marrying her has to secretly have fun and wake her up with laughter. I don't know if Er Niu is so lucky.
In fact, Xiao Wuzi still has a few pieces of ocean on him, and the silver coins are worth more than the sheep notes of Manchukuo. In order to block the economy, the Japanese took back all the silver dollars circulating in the market, but the people never trusted paper bills. Only heavy silver dollars were money in their eyes.
Before getting on the bus, Xiao Wuzi saw a store selling ripe chestnuts in front of the station, so he went to buy a pack.
There are also gourd sellers, which contain clean water. This business is actually very good. Almost everyone who goes out often buys a gourd of water because it is very cheap.
There were not many people in the car. Sitting opposite Xiaowuzi was a blond foreigner wearing an old suit. He sat there with his eyes closed and meditating.
At noon, when the train passed Tieling, Xiao Wuzi was a little hungry, so he took out the bag of chestnuts and ate them while shelling them.
Unexpectedly, when the foreigner opposite saw him eating, he also reached for his purse and took out something from it like magic.
First there were a few sheets of dried tofu, then two green onions, and then a can containing miso and a sausage.
When Xiao Wuzi looked at the foreigner, smearing green onions and sausages with miso and rolling them into dry tofu, the chestnuts in his hand suddenly lost their aroma.
Then the foreigner picked up the dry tofu roll with both hands and took a big bite, eating it very comfortably.
