Xiao Wuzi was dumbfounded by the whole process, but he didn't expect something even more surprising.
The foreigner saw Xiao Wuzi looking at him and asked him while chewing something, "What are you looking at? Don't you want to eat? Come on, I'll break half of it for you." After that, he really broke off half and handed it to Xiao Wuzi.
What surprised Xiaowuzi was that this blond foreigner could speak fluent Northeastern dialect. If you listen with your eyes closed, you would never know that he is a foreigner.
Seeing that Xiaowuzi didn't answer, the foreigner said, "Take it, do I have to feed you?"
This sentence made Xiao Wuzi laugh. Xiao Wuzi reached out and took it and took a bite. It was fragrant.
Foreigners call him Jiao En, but Chinese people don't remember him at all. Because he is of mixed race, they call him Ermaozi.
Er Maozi said: "My father is Italian and my mother is Chinese. In fact, I have nothing to do with Lao Maozi at all. I don't know why I am called Er Maozi." The Lao Maozi he was talking about is Russian.
Xiaowuzi smiled and said: "In the eyes of the Chinese, whether they are Russians or Italians, they are all old men, so there is nothing wrong with calling you Ermaozi."
Ermaozi looked at the beard, and Xiaowuzi thought he must be in his thirties. When he asked, he found out that he was only nineteen years old. Isn't this too anxious to look good?
Er Maozi couldn't hold him back when he started talking. He talked so plainly with Xiao Wuzi that foam formed at the corners of his mouth. Xiaowuzi quickly handed him the water hyacinth.
Ermaozi's father did not marry his mother, but bought a small courtyard for her to use as an outhouse. He wouldn't be able to stay in China long anyway, but he didn't expect that this Chinese concubine would give him a son.
This time Er Maozi went to Xinjing to find his father's friend. His father has now gone to the United States. He entrusted his friend to send some money to his mother and son, and to tell them their address in the United States so that they might be picked up in the future.
Er Maozi felt that he and Xiao Wuzi were very close, and they could chat together. In fact, he was mainly talking in the vernacular, and Xiao Wuzi only occasionally added a few words. But he felt that Xiao Wuzi said that his heart was broken.
Xiaowuzi handed over the chestnuts, and the two chatted while eating. Before they knew it, it was getting dark and they were almost at the station.
Xiaowuzi thought they would go their separate ways after getting off the car, but he didn't expect that Ermaozi was a deadbeat and stuck to him.
Er Maozi asked Xiao Wuzi if you have a place to live? Xiaowuzi said: I'm going to stay in a hotel. Er Maozi grabbed him and said, "It's a waste to stay in a hotel. Come with me. I have a place, it doesn't cost any money, and it's quite comfortable."
There is a Catholic church on Fifth Avenue. Xiao Wuzi once passed by here while pulling a foreign cart. At that time, he saw that foreign priests and nuns often came and went. Xiao Wuzi was not curious about foreigners, so he did not come near. Immediately to the east of the church is a hospital run by these foreign nuns. It seems to specialize in treating women and also delivering babies. It seems that foreigners also have kind hearts.
Er Maozi led Xiao Wuzi into the church yard. The church with its steeple was very eye-catching in this area. Er Maozi seemed to be very familiar with her, so he went to find an old foreign lady in a row of bungalows at the back. She was wearing black and white clothes, and her head was covered with a black cloth.
The two of them were chattering in foreign languages as they walked. Xiaowuzi didn't expect that Ermaozi could speak Chinese so well, and he seemed to be fluent in foreign languages, although he couldn't understand it.
The old nanny led them to an empty room, which was simply equipped with two beds and a table. There was nothing else except these three items.
Ermaozi said to Xiaowuzi that we would stay here tonight and go have dinner first.
Xiaowuzi followed him into a big house. There were no lights in it, but many candles were lit, which was quite bright. Er Maozi led him to find a place to sit down. Xiao Wuzi found that there were many people here, not only priests and nuns, but also some wearing common people's clothes, and there were quite a few. Then each person took a plate to serve the porridge. Xiao Wuzi was surprised why no bowls were used?
What they eat is also very simple. They put corn grains, potatoes, and some vegetables together to make porridge, and add some salt in it.
Xiaowuzi has also eaten rice that is more difficult to eat than this, but he still can't get used to this foreign method.
They had to pray before eating. Everyone closed their eyes and muttered something. Xiao Wuzi secretly pinched his own thigh to keep from laughing.
After the two of them finished eating, they went to rest. Er Maozi asked Xiao Wuzi where he would go to do errands tomorrow. Xiaowuzi said it's not far from here, in the West Square. Xiaowuzi told Ermaozi on the train that he was here to get medicine to treat his father's illness.
The two were just about to go to bed when the sound of cars came from far outside, and then there were people running around, making a noise.
Ermaozi was very curious and said he wanted to go out and take a look. Xiao Wuzi said: "You go ahead, I'll go to bed first." He planned to come and go quietly this time, trying not to cause any trouble, so after Emaozi went out, Xiao Wuzi Wuzi lay down honestly and forced himself to sleep.
It seemed like a long time passed, and Xiao Wuzi felt like he had slept. Ermaozi came back, kicked the door shut with his foot after entering, and then leaned against the door, with panic on his face.
Xiaowuzi turned on the light and saw that Ermaozi was holding something in his hand. He said to Xiaowuzi: "Xiaowuzi, what should I do? What should I do?"
Xiaowuzi looked closer and saw that he was holding a child in his hand, a newborn child wrapped in a thin quilt with blood stains on his body.
It turned out that after Er Maozi went out, he found a truck. Several police officers got out and took a pregnant woman to the hospital. He was curious and asked others what was going on. Someone told him: This woman is a bandit. I heard that she is very famous. She turns out to be an opera singer and her name is Xiao Fengxian.
Later, I don’t know when I stopped singing opera and fell into the bandits. I did a lot of big business around Xinjing. I heard that I was good at wielding two guns and shooting bows left and right. I was very powerful.
I don’t know when she was caught by the police. This woman was pregnant. She was about to give birth, so the police sent her here.
Then, after a long time, probably in the middle of the night, Ermaozi went to the toilet and saw the woman sneaking out of the delivery room. Seeing that there was no one in the hospital, only Ermaozi was there, so he handed the baby over. , said: "Please, Father, help me raise the child, I will kowtow to you." After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed to Er Maozi a few times, and then slipped back to the delivery room.
She probably thought Er Maozi was a foreigner and mistook him for a priest.
Xiao Wuzi was a little amused, but also sighed a little. The woman must be afraid that the police will wait for the child to be born and threaten her with the child. Then she will have to be obedient and give the child to someone else. Then she will have no worries and can deal with the police.
Xiaowuzi asked: "Is there a place to raise children in the church?"
Er Maozi slapped his forehead, cursed himself for being stupid, and went out again with the child in his arms.
Xiaowuzi couldn't sleep at all because of his disturbance. After waiting for a while, he leaned against the wall beside the bed and fell asleep. While half asleep, he saw two chairs. The second chair said to them sadly: "My junior sister must have been captured by that damn beast again." He shed tears as he spoke. Then he added: "My junior sister is called Xiao Fengxian, and her voice is one of a kind in our hometown."
Xiaowuzi was agitated and suddenly woke up. Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Fengxian, I said that when I heard this name just now, I felt familiar. It was something I had forgotten, and it was a very important thing.
Xiaowuzi put on his shoes and went to the ground, checked the gun, then quietly went out and sneaked to the hospital quietly. He had to do something. He couldn't watch the junior sister in the second chair being taken away by the police.
There was a truck outside the hospital gate. There must be two people in the cab, because they were both smoking. There were two bright spots flickering there. Xiaowuzi entered the hospital from the side door.
There are several long wooden chairs in the hospital corridor. It was for the patient's family members to rest, but at this time, two policemen were lying there, fast asleep.
Xiao Wuzi finally understood why Xiao Fengxian was able to sneak out.
It was almost dawn, and I didn't know if any police officers would come to replace the shift. We had to solve the problem quickly. Xiao Wuzi quietly touched it without making a sound, and after getting close, he pulled out the sharp knife in his sleeve. This was the Daoist elder sister's knife that Xiao Wuzi picked up on the way to Fengtian. It was very sharp and easy to hide.
The two policemen who were still sleeping soundly had their throats slit in their sleep, but there was no pain. Xiao Wuzi did not enter the ward, but came out of the side door and quietly approached the car.
The two people in the car were very sleepy and were smoking one after another. Suddenly they heard someone knocking on the car door. The person in the passenger seat opened the door and got out of the car, cursing. Under the light of the hospital, they found someone. The person had his back to him and was looking at something near the rear wheel.
It was dark and he couldn't see who it was, so he walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Then a strong hand grabbed his throat and he was stabbed several times in the chest.
Xiao Wuzi leaned him face inward against the tire, as if a living person was doing something. The driver waited for a while, but when no one came back, he got out and turned around in front of the car. He also asked: "What are you doing? Why does it take so long?"
Then he walked over and stretched out his hand to push, and found that the person next to the rear wheel was slowly slipping. The driver was shocked. Just as he was about to stand up, a sharp dagger was stabbed into his back. The driver also slipped softly.
Xiaowuzi first threw the two people into the truck, then went back to the hospital corridor, carried the two bodies out one at a time, threw them into the car, and found a tarpaulin to cover the bodies before entering the hospital ward. .
There was a weak woman on the bed. She was stunned when she saw someone coming in, but it was not a doctor, nurse, or policeman.
Xiao Wuzi lowered his voice and said, "You are Xiao Fengxian, right? Do you have a senior brother named Xiao Dangui?"
When Xiao Fengxian heard this, she quickly said: "Yes, do you know my senior brother?"
Xiaowuzi said: "Follow me and I will help you escape.
