When Lu Shuwen looked at him, he seemed to be choked and his eyes were a little straight. He quickly handed over his water bottle and said: "Drink some quickly."
The man was not polite, nodded, took the kettle, took two sips and washed down the food. He said, "Oh, I feel good." After returning the kettle to Lu Shuwen, he said, "Thank you, brother."
He snorted and took two more mouthfuls of rice. Lu Shuwen saw him at the side and said, "You can't eat slower or you'll choke again."
"It's okay." The man smiled and said, "I've been eating like this since I was a child. I feel uncomfortable eating slower." After a pause, he asked, "Hey, brother, I heard your accent is from the north? It's from the northeast. That side?"
"Beiping." Lu Shuwen gnawed on the pancake and replied, "Do I sound Northeastern in my words?"
"A little bit." The person said, "I can't tell the specifics, but you said you can't get the slot. This seems to be northern dialect."
"Ah, yes." Lu Shuwen said with a smile: "This seems to be said in many places. I don't know exactly where it comes from, but it must be from the north. It may not necessarily be from Peiping."
In fact, Lu Shuwen is an authentic southerner, but he deliberately concealed his accent. Therefore, if he opens his mouth, it is basically difficult to tell who he is, because he has some dialects and witticisms from all over the world when he speaks. In fact, there are quite a lot of this kind of situation these days. Because of the refugee flow, people from the North and South are often mixed together. Therefore, it is normal for them to learn a few words from each other's accents and use some dialect words that the other person has used before.
The two of them were chatting while eating and drinking. By the time they finished eating, Lu Shuwen basically knew the general situation of the other person. This person's surname is Qi, and he is not a local in Shanghai, but he has been in Shanghai for almost two years. After arriving here, I basically worked on the dock. I had no connections and I didn't want to be "pumped", so I definitely couldn't become a formal worker in the dock.
However, if you are lucky as a temporary worker, you can also make some money. In addition, he has gained experience: he can basically tell at a glance what kind of people come here to recruit people, and what kind of people are just passing by. Therefore, the level of "snatching work" is relatively high.
After eating, there was no work for the time being, and the two of them were talking about how Qi could help and lead Lu Shuwen to grab work. The other party was slightly startled and said, "Hey, is the army coming?"
In fact, Lu Shuwen noticed something when the two of them were eating. Because I don’t know when, a lot of plainclothes people had already arrived on the dock. However, Lu Shuwen did not move. After all, he had not committed anything, so it would be fine even if he was interrogated. So just do whatever you want.
But this must be the order given to him by the online leader. Because if you were looking for something unusual on the dock, this must be it. So Lu Shuwen paid attention.
Lu Shuwen looked at Qi and forgot about the past. In the meantime, a convoy of vehicles, probably nearly twenty cars, had turned around from the other end of the road. Six of the vehicles were military trucks. After arriving at the entrance of the pier, they all stopped.
Soon, little Japanese soldiers wearing helmets jumped out from above. There were also several sergeants and officers directing them to line up and saying something.
In addition, the other cars in the fleet are all black cars. Four of these cars also stopped at the entrance of the pier, and many people in plain clothes got off. The other dozen or so cars drove in directly from the entrance of the pier.
The man surnamed Qi said: "Is this... arresting someone?"
In fact, he either asked Lu Shuwen again or talked to himself. Lu Shuwen said: "Who knows. Is it a little bit better now?"
The man surnamed Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't have a watch. But it's about right." As he said that, he turned around and shouted, "Li Tou, what time is it now?"
"It's five minutes past one." Li Tou took out an old pocket watch, looked at it, and replied.
This Li Tou is one of these temporary workers on the dock. Of course, he is also temporary. In later generations, in film and television bases such as Hengdian, there were many extras every day. These extras were also temporary, waiting for work somewhere. Then the crew had a show and they were recruiting people, so they went to play a Japanese soldier, a dead body or something. But they also have group leaders. And this is what Li Tou means now.
Lu Shuwen currently works part-time to hide his identity, and barely has a house to shelter him from the wind and rain. But if he had something as high-end as a watch, it would be suspicious. So of course he didn't bring a watch. But he also had a way, thinking that the dispatch room on the dock or something like that had a clock.
So if he wants to determine the precise time and write down the time when some special situations occur, he can go to these places to confirm the time. But now that Li Tou's answer is available, it saves him some trouble.
A group of temporary workers were watching the fun. So Lu Shuwen also turned his head and looked openly. I saw the gang of little devils, and after the sergeant and the officers finished their training, they immediately started to take action. It's very organized, with a few people guarding those places. The other group, who were standing guard somewhere, were all separated, either outside or stationed inside the dock.
The plainclothes men were basically the same, but their movements were more casual. If he hadn't followed the convoy from the beginning, he would have thought he was an ordinary person on the dock.
After waiting, I saw a Japs sergeant, leading a few Japs soldiers, striding towards the place where Lu Shuwen was waiting for temporary workers.
When they arrived, the Japanese arrogantly gathered them together. Lu Shuwen made a quick self-judgment and concluded that he must not have revealed any flaws, so whatever action the Japs took next would definitely not be directed at him. So hold yourself still.
Lu Shuwen secretly reminded himself, seeing that Li Tou still had some courage, he walked up with a smile, nodded and handed the cigarette to the Japanese officer. However, the Japanese officer did not answer the question, and directly said in blunt but understandable Chinese: "Are you their foreman?"
"Yes, Taijun." Li Tou said, still with a smile on his face: "I have been working on the dock for several years. Does Taijun have any work for us to do? No problem, we are all very agile with our hands and feet. "
"Let me ask you." said the Japanese officer: "What is your name? These people..."
