Twenty-eight boxes were delivered to Meng Shaoyuan's residence that night.
Good guy, Meng Shaoyuan's family is not small in theory, but after these twenty-eight boxes were put away, there was almost no place to stay.
Zhu Yanni also just came back from doing errands outside.
She was a new wife, and she felt weak all day today, feeling limp and weak.
It was all Meng Shaoyuan's fault. It was fine if he broke his body, but what if the news spread? Meng Shaoyuan was Director Dai's confidant, so of course he would be fine, but it was hard to say whether Director Dai would operate on Zhu Yanni.
I have been scolding Meng Shaoyuan in my heart for a day, but after being scolded, I felt a little happy again.
She likes Meng Shaoyuan and has never hidden it in front of her brothers. Who doesn't know about her brothers? But it interferes with the family law of Juntong, so no matter how much I like it, I have to endure it.
The arrival of the Marshal of the Flower Kingdom made Zhu Yanni jealous.
But I was jealous, so I could only watch helplessly.
Who would have thought that Meng Shaoyuan, such a bold guy, would disregard military rule and family law...
As soon as he opened the door, he exclaimed: "What is this?"
"What what?"
Meng Shaoyuan happened to come down from the second floor.
"What's going on with these boxes?"
"The ones they sent to me for safekeeping are all antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and there are a few boxes upstairs."
"Ah, I asked you to keep it?" Zhu Yanni was dumbfounded: "Isn't this just asking a weasel to look at a chicken?"
"Zhu Yanni, what are you talking about? I'm your boss."
"you?"
It would have been better if Meng Shaoyuan didn't talk about it. When he mentioned it, Zhu Yanni's face turned red and she remembered what happened last night and this morning.
Although the cause was that you were drunk, as a man you have to...
The more Zhu Yanni thought about it, the hotter her face became, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked her heart became.
"Yanni." Since the close relationship, Meng Shaoyuan's title has changed: "Please help me find a way to see if I can send these boxes out of Nanjing."
"Are you kidding?" Zhu Yanni was startled: "How to send it out? There are so many boxes, the target is too big."
Yes, twenty-eight boxes is too big a target.
We can only find a place to hide it first, and then find a way to transport it out after the situation in Nanjing becomes slightly calmer.
Hang Lung?
no.
Taking up one more inch of space there means one more civilian loses the possibility of survival.
"That cemetery in the suburbs." Zhu Yanni suddenly remembered something.
yes.
Meng Shaoyuan's eyes lit up.
On the outskirts of Nanjing, there is a cemetery where all the graves are ownerless and no one goes there.
If these twenty-eight boxes are hidden there, the Japanese will not necessarily go to the cemetery, right?
And it will save a lot of trouble when transporting it out in the future.
"Yanni, you can start taking care of this matter tomorrow." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "You can find a few reliable people. Isn't our military commander going to evacuate there? I will open a road for you and get a truck." Say this is important information for us."
"Um."
"Moreover." Meng Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment: "Once this matter is settled, don't come back."
"What?" Zhu Yanni was startled: "Then what should you do? Didn't you ask me to be responsible for supporting you?"
"Listen to me." Meng Shaoyuan said very seriously: "The situation has changed. It is too dangerous for a woman to stay in Nanjing, not to mention that you are now my woman, Meng Shaoyuan."
This time, Zhu Yanni's face turned red again, but she asked worriedly: "If I leave and there is no particularly reliable person around you, what will you do?"
"Gan Ning, Ma Dai and Xu Zhu are arriving soon, and Song Deng and Pan Baolai have also been transferred to Nanjing. These people are enough for me. When they gather together, I will personally take the ship to Chongqing. Take a look. It can be regarded as escorting those businessmen."
"What, you want to escort them?"
"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "I sent people to Chongqing very early. Until now, most of them are telegrams to inform me of the situation. I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I still feel uneasy after all. In the future, Chongqing will be Top priority.”
He understood this all too well.
Only when the rear area is stable can we feel confident working on the front line.
Zhu Yanni is still not at ease: "The river is blocked by Japanese warships. It's too dangerous for you to go there rashly. It's better to think of other ways."
"It's okay, there are British people who will protect me." Meng Shaoyuan said with a sneer: "I, Meng Shaoyuan, don't want to die now, who can take my life?"
Zhu Yanni knew very well that although Meng Shaoyuan was so sure, the danger of walking by water was self-evident.
What's more, he is Meng Shaoyuan. It would be unthinkable if he fell into the hands of the Japanese. But once Meng Shaoyuan decides on something, who can dissuade him?
Zhu Yanni could only say helplessly: "Then be careful and remember, you are not alone now."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded slightly: "I am actually not in danger, but if you stay behind enemy lines and fight guerrillas, you will encounter the Japanese anytime and anywhere. Remember my words, if you see that the situation is not right, put oil on the soles of your feet and run."
A smile finally flashed across Zhu Yanni's face.
This is Master Meng's style.
"Okay, I'm hungry." Meng Shaoyuan patted his belly: "Look, there's no place to cook here. Go to the street and find a place to eat."
She is already Meng Shaoyuan's woman, so naturally the husband and wife follow her.
But now Nanjing is in chaos. Many stores are closed, and a few are not closed. They all close early at night. It is really not easy to find a place to eat.
I searched and searched but couldn't find it.
After walking, we came to the place where Zhao Changle used to live.
At this time, Zhao Changle's wife and children all went to Chongqing. He himself was working behind enemy lines in Shanghai, and the house was dark.
Meng Shaoyuan slapped his head: "By the way, my godson's family is not here."
"Your godson? Do you still have a godson?" Zhu Yanni looked confused.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and found a house. Seeing that the lights were still on inside, he patted the door.
"Who?"
What came out was the familiar voice of Fan Haichao.
"Lao Fan, it's me, Meng Shaoyuan."
"Oh, it's you, wait, wait."
The door opened after a while. Fan Haichao saw it was Meng Shaoyuan and was overjoyed: "Chief Meng, come in quickly, come in quickly. When did you come back? Changle didn't come back with you?"
"Chang Le is still in Shanghai, this is my best wishes."
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Fan Haichao drinking and his wife Xiu Di mending clothes. When Meng Shaoyuan came in, she was also surprised: "Chief Meng, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Godfather, Godfather."
Meng Shaoyuan's godson Fan Zhenbang rushed out from the back room after hearing the news. When he saw it, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Hello, godfather."
"Okay, okay, get up." Meng Shaoyuan helped Fan Zhenbang up: "This kid has grown taller and stronger again."
Zhu Yanni looked suspicious. Is this Meng Shaoyuan's godson? He is at least fourteen or fifteen years old. Can Meng Shaoyuan give birth to such a son at his age?
"Sister-in-law, get us something to eat. We haven't had dinner yet. The shops on the road are closed and we can't find a place to eat. I brought Xiao Zhu to your place to have a meal." Meng Shaoyuan didn't care at all. Become an outsider yourself.
"Hey, hey." Sister-in-law Xiudi agreed repeatedly.
"Go quickly, what are you doing in a daze? Cut the sausage out. There's still a piece of bacon. Put it on the pan and steam it. This woman is so slow."
Fan Haichao scolded and took out a few wine glasses: "Chief Meng, Xiao Zhu, let's drink first. Zhenbang, you also sit here and drink a few glasses with your godfather."
Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of wine and ate some food: "Lao Fan, haven't I sent someone to bring you a message a long time ago to ask you to leave Nanjing? Why haven't you left yet?"
"Let's go, where are we going?" Fan Haichao had no time to think: "I was born and raised in Nanjing. Where else can I go besides Nanjing? I'm not afraid. Even if the Japanese really come in, can they kill me?"
Can I still kill you?
Many people in Nanjing City think like this. Even if Nanjing really cannot be defended and the Japanese enter the city, as long as they do not resist, can the Japanese kill them?
"Besides." Fan Haichao said again: "We have so many troops in Nanjing, we may not be able to defend it."
At this point, Meng Shaoyuan really didn't know what to say.
No matter how you persuade, people like Fan Haichao just can't listen. No matter where you go, it's better to stay at home. If you stay at home honestly, there will be no disaster.
When Sister-in-law Xiudi served the dishes, Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Lao Fan, Sister-in-law, I want to discuss something with you."
"Oh, you said, there is nothing that a family should discuss."
"I'm talking about Zhenbang." Meng Shaoyuan pointed at Fan Zhenbang: "Zhenbang is also fourteen years old. The factories in Nanjing have stopped working, so it's not a problem to stay at home. You see, our little Zhu is leaving Nanjing soon. , if you are willing, let Zhenbang follow Xiao Zhu."
Follow Xiao Zhu and become a spy?
Although the reputation of a spy has become a bit ugly, he can finally enjoy the food of the official family.
Besides, with his godfather taking care of him, Fan Haichao and his wife agreed without even thinking about it.
This is the only thing Meng Shaoyuan can do.
Fighting guerrillas with Zhu Yanni is just as dangerous, but at least it is much safer than staying in Nanjing.
"Thank you godfather, thank you godmother."
Fan Zhenbang was smart and saw that the relationship between Meng Shaoyuan and Zhu Yanni was extraordinary.
"Godmother" was said out loud, and Zhu Yanni's face turned red: "Who is your godmother?"
"Yes, godmother." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "From now on, I will follow your godmother to work well. In the future..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a rapid knock on the door, accompanied by a loud voice: "Open the door, check."
"Yes, they are your people." Fan Haichao stood up: "We have to check every night to guard against any Japanese spies."
As soon as the door was opened, several military commanders' spies came in: "IDs, who are they!"
But when a woman came in, Meng Shaoyuan and Zhu Yanni blurted out almost at the same time:
"Lin Xuan?"
