The situation in Hefei is slightly better than that in Wuhan, but in fact it is not much better.
Niu Lu settled all the children in his factory and asked them to take a bath first, then eat a hearty meal, and then have a good sleep.
Along the way, these children were exhausted.
During this period, Niu Lu sent someone to the Southeast Hotel again and felt relieved when he saw that Sophia and Alison had also arrived safely.
This is the largest officer Niu Lu has ever seen since he started his career as a spy.
As long as he can be satisfied in Hefei, he might be able to transfer himself away from Hefei after a while.
After all, it's too dangerous here.
He found the best restaurant in Hefei's famous "Duck Fighting Pond" to host a banquet for the chief officials.
The name of the fighting duck pond is a bit strange, but it used to have an extremely famous name:
Xiaoyaojin!
"Isn't this where Zhang Liao shocked Xiaoyaojin back then?"
Meng Shaoyuan asked casually.
"I wish the boss is so knowledgeable." Niu Lu paid a flattering compliment and poured wine for everyone: "The battle at Xiaoyaojin made the Wu Kingdom frightened. No child dared to cry when they heard Zhang Wenyuan's name. This is where it is." "Backing up with a whip and riding a horse, riding on the Xiaoyao River, the jade dragon flies", it is also about how Sun Quan escaped from danger. In the Kangxi period, the name was changed to "Duck Fighting Pond". "
"Xiaoyaojin still sounds better." Meng Shaoyuan drank a glass of wine and looked up to see the surging river in the distance. After listening to the two lines of the poem just now, he couldn't help but feel an impulse in his heart and blurted out:
"I also thought of a few crooked poems."
Niu Lu immediately said: "I wish the boss's poem must be excellent. We are lucky enough to listen to it today!"
Meng Shaoyuan looked at the river from a distance, and he was very inspired by poetry. He shook his head and his head, as if pointing out the country, and like the reincarnation of the poetry immortal:
"There is a traitor lying in the tiger's den, and a good man comes to Hefei!"
I bother!
Yuan Zhonghe and Kong Chuanbo looked at each other.
What kind of fucking nonsense is this poetry?
But Niu Lu applauded loudly, and then whispered: "Boss, the artistic conception in this poem is very good. The traitor I want to talk about is me. As a hero, of course it is you."
What a flatterer.
Poetry is bullshit, but Niu Lu insists on saying that his artistic conception is good.
There are two sentences in total. The third character of the first sentence is "good", and the fourth character of the second sentence is the word "good" again.
Doggerel doesn't even count.
"What do you think?"
Meng Shaoyuan asked about Yuan Zhonghe and Kong Chuanbo.
Both of them were afraid that Meng Shaoyuan would slip into their shoes, so who dared to say "no"?
Niu Lu was full of compliments: "Why don't you wish the boss a few more words? In the future, I will have someone engrave it here. It will also be a good story."
This can be considered difficult for District Chief Meng.
I held it in there for a long time, until my face turned red and my ears turned red, but I really couldn't hold it in anymore.
Niu Lu is a clever person, and he can tell it at a glance: "I wish you the best, boss, may I dare to add a few sentences for you?"
"Ah, okay, okay." Meng Shaoyuan was worried about how to pick up the phone.
"Then I'll just do my best." Niu Lu pondered for a while: "Why don't we continue, it's time to reorganize the country, and China is waiting to take off."
"well."
Yuan Zhonghe and Kong Chuanbo cheered sincerely this time.
It's really good, and it really rivals my own "There is a traitor crouching in the tiger's den, and a good man comes to Hefei".
Meng Shaoyuan was so proud that he never expected that he could also compose poetry.
When the Anti-Japanese War is won in the future, maybe there will be a collection of poems or something?
There is a traitor lying in the tiger's den, and a good man comes to Hefei. It’s time to rebuild the country’s rivers and mountains, and China is waiting to take off.
Yuan Zhonghe thought in his mind.
Fortunately, Niu Lu helped pick it up.
Otherwise, our Young Master Meng will not become a "great poet" like Han Fuqu and Zhang Zongchang in the future.
"Suddenly there was a chain of fire in the sky. Could it be that the Jade Emperor wanted to smoke? If he didn't want to smoke, why was there another chain of fire?"
This song "Ode to Lightning" is still talked about today as a joke after dinner.
According to his personality as Master Meng, there is no doubt that this poem will be shamelessly stolen by him for himself.
After joking for a while, Meng Shaoyuan returned to the topic: "What is the current situation in Hefei?"
"When the Japanese first occupied Hefei, they killed a lot of people." Niu Lu also said seriously: "Tragedies abound. Recently, due to the continuous reinforcements to Wuhan and Changsha, they have temporarily stopped. And in order to restore the vitality of Hefei , to allow them to plunder again, the Japanese also held several meetings of Hefei industrial and commercial representatives, demanding that we resume work immediately. I am considered a hardcore traitor in the eyes of Hefei people, so the Japanese still rely on me."
"When you play the role of a traitor, you have to do it well." Meng Shaoyuan mused: "I also know that you have been wronged, but Hefei is an important town, especially for the Japanese. Once the Hefei granary is lost, the blow to the Japanese troops on the front line will be huge. It’s huge.”
"I have passed on several pieces of information one after another, and the guerrillas have also carried out several attacks on the Japanese army's grain transport troops." Niu Lu immediately reported: "At present, the Japanese army pays special attention to the collection and transportation of grain in Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces. In the past, Japanese troops stationed in various cities were also dispatched to strictly control food routes, and I heard that even troops from Nanjing were dispatched."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "We must learn from the experiences of Wuxi and Changzhou. Don't fight the big ones, but the small ones. Fighting the big ones is too risky, and it is easy to make the Japanese anxious, and they will launch crazy revenge. If you attack the small ones, the Japanese will feel pain, but not particularly painful. They are eager to transport food and will not be too entangled. Moreover, it is easy for them to focus on one thing and lose another."
"clear."
Niu Lu thought about it carefully.
"Niu Lu, from now on you will officially belong to Shanghai District." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "I will help you handle the specific procedures."
Niu Lu was overjoyed and thanked him continuously.
Meng Shaoyuan of Shanghai has a great reputation, especially those under him. Their supplies and equipment are better than others, and as long as they work hard under him, there are many opportunities for advancement.
Now that you are officially under his command, who wouldn't want to?
"Also, how are you going to send those children out?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.
"Easy to handle." Niu Lu had already thought about it: "I still have a factory in Zhenjiang. I will send you out of Hefei tomorrow afternoon. The Japanese have now listed my factory as a model factory and they think highly of me."
"This traitor is easy to get things done." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "As long as you get us out of Hefei safely, you will have done a great job."
Leaving Hefei and arriving in Zhenjiang is relatively safe. The only place where there is huge uncertainty on the road is Nanjing.
As long as they can pass through Nanjing, once they reach Changzhou, Wuxi and other places, Meng Shaoyuan will rule the world.
After drinking there for a while, Niu Lu looked at the time and said, "Oh, thank you boss, it's not that I don't want to drink with you more, the Japanese curfew time is coming soon."
"clear."
Meng Shaoyuan stood up: "After you have had enough wine and food, go back to bed. Let's set off tomorrow!"
…
Meng Shaoyuan was woken up early in the morning by the noisy noise outside.
"What's outside?" Sofia beside her was also sleepy-eyed.
It was quite stressful yesterday.
Meng Shaoyuan now understood why the older generation had so many children.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
After dinner, the lights are turned off. There is no TV, no computer, no mobile phone. What else can you do except sit in bed and do the things like giving birth to a baby?
But foreign girls are too fierce.
Meng Shaoyuan found that he really couldn't stand it.
Looking at the time again, it's not too early, it's already past eight o'clock.
Suddenly, he found that Sophia's head was buried in the quilt again. Seeing that he was about to do something again, Master Meng shivered with fright. This would definitely lead to the death of everyone. He quickly said:
"Someone is setting up a stall there. I'll show you."
"No, it's early. There's still time."
"No, that looks great!"
…
Outside the hotel, there are people selling medicine.
Their most powerful thing is their mouth.
This kind of person is a hero who travels around the world, not a beggar who reaches out to beg for money. People in the world are all brothers with the same word. What they want is face, and they happen to be carrying ancestral medicine for knife wounds.
These medicines are not for sale, they are just kept on the body for personal use. They are secret recipes passed down from ancestors and will never be passed on to outsiders. There is a rule from our ancestors. When a poor person is injured, he will not pay a penny and give the magic medicine for free. It can only be given to charity and cannot be sold. But now, he is trapped in Chencai, hungry and cold, and has no choice but to use the ancestral magic medicine to exchange for a few dollars. A small amount of money in exchange for a meal...
After he was able to fool people, he started to play special skills. Without special skills, he would never be able to attract customers.
These people vomit lotus flowers from their mouths and see life in their eyes. There is a saying that "the mouth is a touchstone and the eyes are the pearls of observation."
When the people were almost gathered and the heat was about to be reached, he immediately stopped talking and took out a long knife and handed it to the onlookers, asking everyone to check whether it was a steel knife made of iron.
He took the knife back, stabbed his thigh in front of everyone, and blood immediately flowed out. Then he took out a packet of medicine from his pocket, sprinkled it on the wound, and continued to spit out lotus flowers.
In short, it makes onlookers feel horrified, and their ears cannot be idle.
Those words are nothing more than saying that I don’t bring much medicine, only fifty packs, first come first served, whoever wants to sell first, half sold and half given away, one pack is ten cents, and one pack is given as a bonus, but only for the first time. Tens, you can’t give it away if you sell it later.
After spreading the medicine, he took out a broken fan and slapped the wound hard, just to tell the onlookers that his medicine was so good that he was not afraid of any strong wind.
In just a moment, all the medicine in his pocket was gone.
But if you buy it and use it at home, it is definitely not easy to use. It cannot stop bleeding and pain at all. Performers use this trick called "taking away the horse's acupoints", which is nothing more than a blindfold.
What really stopped the bleeding was his fan, which used the force of the wind to temporarily freeze the bleeding blood, making onlookers mistakenly think that his medicine was really working.
Meng Shaoyuan took Sophia to look there for a while. He had already seen the way inside and didn't know what to do.
After checking the time, it was almost time to prepare to leave Hefei for Zhenjiang.
