In the evening, it was a bit cold. Ji Hua put on a fur coat and strolled home. He is not married and lives alone in a small courtyard on Dajing Road.
Ji Hua suddenly felt something was wrong. He seemed to be being watched. So he found a cloth shop on the street and got in. While pretending to choose cloth, he looked outside to see who was staring at him.
People were coming and going on the street, but no one was seen following him, which meant that this person also had the awareness of counter-reconnaissance. When he went out and continued walking, he felt someone was watching him again.
Ji Hua simply went into a remote alley. He knew that this road was a dead end.
When he entered the alley, pulled out his gun, and pressed his whole body against the corner of a gatehouse, he heard a dull sound from behind, and then the sound of someone falling to the ground.
Someone was doing something from behind, and Ji Hua came out with a gun. Then he saw Xiao Wuzi, who was carrying a brick in his hand and wearing a blue satin suit. There was someone lying on the ground, who was obviously knocked unconscious by him.
Ji Hua took a closer look and saw that he knew this person. He was a subordinate of Tan Zhong. It seemed that he was sent by Tan Zhong to monitor him. The problem was that even if he found out, he could not do anything to this person. So he winked at Xiao Wuzi and walked out of the alley first. Xiao Wuzi threw away the bricks and followed from a distance.
The two walked into the tavern on Sanma Road one after another without any communication. When the waiter saw Ji Hua, he greeted him loudly: "Is Chief Ji here? Please come in." He guided Ji Hua inside. In the private room in the backyard, Xiaowuzi found an empty table and sat down.
After a while, the shopkeeper came, said hello to Xiao Wuzi, and led Xiao Wuzi into the private room in the backyard.
Ji Hua is very tall, and Xiao Wuzi has grown in size rapidly this year, almost as tall as Ji Hua, but he is still very thin.
Ji Hua stretched out his hands and shook hands with Xiao Wuzi in a formal manner. A rare hint of warmth appeared on his serious and rigid face. Maybe he would only show this side in front of his true friends, right? This was the first time the two people had known each other for such a long time.
"Why are you here? I thought you were in the Soviet Union with the team."
This sentence contained a lot of information, but Xiao Wuzi understood clearly that Lao Guo and Lao Yin were out after all, and Xiao Wuzi's mood immediately improved.
A few simple dishes were put on the small kang table, and Ji Hua and Xiao Wuzi sat cross-legged on the kang. Lao Xu, the shopkeeper, also handed the table to the waiter and entered the private room, sitting with them on the edge of the kang.
Ji Hua gave a formal introduction to Xiao Wuzi and Lao Xu, and said to Lao Xu: "This is the person we sent to Jilin Dam. Not only did he complete the liaison mission, but he also led the team to break out of the siege. He is our Xiao Wuzi." hero."
Xiao Wuzi told them everything that had happened in the past six months, starting from his trip to Jilin Dam. Ji Hua was still trustworthy. He was currently Xiao Wuzi's only channel to communicate with his superiors.
Ji Hua told him again that he had received news that Lao Guo and the others had arrived in the Soviet Union and were resting.
Xiao Wuzi thought about Zhang Guorui and the others again. Since Lao Guo and the others had left the country, Zhang Guorui had not contacted them. Xiao Wuzi couldn't help but worry about the remaining people in Haishan Camp and didn't know where they had gone.
Xiaowuzi took out the microfilm from his arms and handed it to Ji Hua and said: "This is a piece of information we intercepted on the way. It should be obtained by intelligence personnel sent by the Chongqing National Government. None of us know Japanese characters. I don’t know if the content above is important or not. The main reason I came here this time is to send it over so you can see if it’s important information.”
Ji Hua took the film and said, "I'll go back and take a look. Come back at this time tomorrow and I'll give you the answer."
Xiao Wuzi said again: "I have a personal matter to ask you. Check two people for me and find out where they are." After that, Guan Lao Xu asked for paper and pen, and wrote down Liu Xiaodian's name and place of origin, and Lao Pi. The origins of his two sons.
Ji Hua greeted Xiaowuzi to eat food, and then said: "There is one more thing I need to tell you. Liu Yun and the shepherd boy have absconded. Not only us, but the Japanese have not found them either. We don't know where they went. They probably escaped to Guanzhong incognito." It's my fault. I didn't act decisively enough. I didn't have enough people at the time, so I waited for a while. When I had enough people, I found that the person had disappeared." After saying that, he sighed with self-blame.
Xiao Wuzi understood his difficulties, and for some reason, besides regret, he also felt a little lucky. Maybe deep down in his heart, he still didn't want Sister Yun to die, right?
Then Xiao Wuzi asked again: "What happened to the person following you today? Why don't you kill him?"
It turned out that Ji Hua was also in trouble. His boss, the section chief of the Secret Service Section, had been sick recently, so his superiors gave him a holiday and sent a person down to guide them in their work. He was a Japanese. Very smart Japanese.
This Japanese man was named Tanaka. After he arrived, he did not touch anyone. Instead, he launched a secret investigation on everyone under his command to find out who among them was a spy.
They all knew that Tanaka was investigating, and no one could do anything but endure it. It's like a knife hanging over your head, you don't know when it will fall.
Xiaowuzi said: "Give me Tanaka's face and address, and I'll see if I can help you solve this problem before I go back."
Ji Hua had been fed up with it recently. It felt really uncomfortable to be stared at all the time and unable to do anything, so he agreed to Xiao Wuzi's plan.
Xiaowuzi didn't go far, so he found a hotel near Sanma Road and stayed. When he arrived at his residence, he opened the rattan box he had been carrying and sorted out his harvest.
Not bad, the soil where he was buried was very dry, the tobacco paste was not damp, and even the wrapping paper was not damp. There are also some bills in it, including many house deeds and land deeds, which are probably worth a lot of money, but these things cannot be sold in Xinjing.
Two box cannons were used by the police. He did not move them and kept them stuffed on the edge of the box. However, he took out his little flower-mouthed gun and pinned it to his waist. He would have to go to Fifth Avenue later to see how to get rid of that kid. come out.
Xiaowuzi went to Fifth Avenue later. When he arrived at the church compound, he saw Ermaozi waiting for him. Xiaowuzi really didn't know how to deal with the relationship with him.
This is a good friend to make, but Xiaowuzi doesn't dare to tell him some things. It's better to hide it from him, so as not to implicate this kind-hearted foreign friend.
Er Maozi took Xiao Wuzi to the nursery. There were two Chinese nuns taking care of the children. Each of them held one child in their arms. There was also a little one lying down and sleeping on a small bed.
Er Maozi came closer and touched the child's little yet-to-be-grown face with his fingers. Although the child was very ugly at this time, Er Maozi still liked it very much.
Xiao Wuzi is not here to see the child, but to step on the dishes. He plans to steal the child away tonight to avoid a long night of dreams.
The police should have discovered that the female bandit and the police officers were missing. They will definitely send people to the church to investigate. Once they find out that the child is broken, they will not be able to get rid of it.
Er Maozi asked Xiao Wuzi when he would return to Fengtian. Xiao Wuzi said he would stay for a day or two and then leave after finishing his work. Er Maozi said I will wait for you and we will go back together. Xiaowuzi said it depends on the situation. If you have something to do, leave first.
Xiaowuzi said goodbye to Ermaozi and said he would go back to the hotel, but Ermaozi didn't stay with him.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Wuzi quietly appeared in the church compound on Wuma Road and sneaked into the nursery. He did not go directly to hold the child, but found a corner to hide.
After the two nuns got up and finished peeing the child, they fed the child milk. The children quieted down and the nuns went to bed. Only then did Xiaowuzi come out from the corner and pick up the youngest child with the quilt. When he found that the child was not awake, he dared to go out. When he left, he took a milk bottle with him, which seemed to be pure water.
After Xiaowuzi came out, he stole a foreign car. He was familiar with this thing and he was familiar with stealing such a car.
The child was put in the car, Xiaowuzi pulled up the car and started running.
It seems like I have returned to the time when I first came to Xinjing in the spring, when I would pull a cart and run through every street and alley in Xinjing every day.
It took a full two hours of walking to reach Mengjiatun. Xiao Wuzi had a good memory, and he found Xiao Fengxian's relative's house only one day later.
When Xiao Fengxian saw the dusty little Wuzi holding her child, she was so excited that she was trembling all over and could not speak.
Xiao Fengxian rested for a day, her face was no longer so pale, and she cried silently while holding her child. She looked pitiful and looked nothing like the feared female bandit.
Xiaowuzi said to her: "This place is too close to Xinjing. Let's get better and leave here soon. Is there any place to stay?"
Xiao Fengxian said: "I plan to leave tomorrow. I will go back to my hometown of Lishu. Although I don't have any relatives anymore, it's okay to hide for a while."
Xiao Wuzi added: "I am currently working in Fengtian. If you have any difficulties, please come to me." He also told Xiao Fengxian where they would stay.
Xiao Fengxian said: "Brother, do you have a wife?" Xiao Wuzi said: "I am only sixteen." Xiao Fengxian said: "Sister, can I be your wife? You can also be a concubine, otherwise I don't know what to do." I repay you."
Xiao Wuzi's face suddenly turned red, and he said with a smile: "Sister, you don't need to take this matter too seriously. Even if you meet someone you don't know, I still have to lend a hand? What's more, you are Xiao Dangui's junior sister, we It’s a family.”
Xiao Fengxian said: "I don't care, I just rely on you. When I am well taken care of, I will go to you." She laughed as she spoke. Xiao Wuzi didn't know if what she said was true or if she was joking.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Wuzi pulled the rickshaw back. He knew the hard work of the person pulling the rickshaw. It was their family's life and fortune, and he had to return the rickshaw.
It was already dawn when Xiaowuzi returned to the hotel. Xiaowuzi was really sleepy and hadn't had a good sleep for two consecutive nights. Now, something was on his mind. Xiaowuzi fell asleep while lying on the bed, and he didn't move anywhere from morning to afternoon.
