"Uncle Chang, do you really want to go in person?"
"Well, that person is always a hidden danger if he is placed there. I have to find a way to send him away." Chang Bo said.
"Have you figured out where to send it?"
"It's best to send him to the north. However, we have no channels. His face is too eye-catching and cannot be covered up at all. If we don't take the main road but the small road, there will be many uncontrollable situations." Chang Bo thought about it for a moment. , said.
"The materials he wrote about the Japanese testing and manufacturing of bacterial weapons in Ice City must be brought back. This evidence will be history in the future, and we cannot make it easier for these beasts in human skins."
"Miss, the 'plague' that broke out a while ago is probably related to the Japanese. Although this matter was suppressed and was lightly written about in the newspapers, there must be something fishy in it. My uncle may know something about it. , but he won’t tell us,” Changbo said.
"He didn't say it because he was afraid that we would be scared. After all, the matter has calmed down, and there is no point in talking about it anymore." Bai Yulan said.
"Miss, I'm afraid I won't be back for ten days this month. How should you explain it to my uncle?" Chang Bo asked.
"I told you to go to Tongliao to pick up my uncle and his family."
"That's a good excuse." Chang Bo nodded, "Then I'll go back and pack up and set off early."
…
"Why haven't you seen Chang Bo in the past two days?" Zhou Sen asked curiously when he came back one night. He hadn't seen Chang Bo in two days.
I came back late in the evening and couldn't see anything normal. But when I got up in the morning, during the boxing activity, Chang Bo was nowhere to be seen.
This is strange.
"I received a letter from Tongliao yesterday. They agreed to move their family to Bingcheng. However, the whole family has never traveled far, so I sent Uncle Chang to pick them up." Bai Yulan explained with a smile.
"Oh, that's right. That's a good thing. My aunt's family is coming to Bingcheng. Have you prepared this place to live?" Zhou Sen nodded without any doubts.
"I don't know how many people there are in my aunt's family now. It's too late to wait for them to arrive." Bai Yulan said.
"Well, that's right. The Ningxiang Pavilion is a big place, so even if they live together there is no problem, and they can still take care of each other." Zhou Sen said.
"That's right." Bai Yulan looked away with a guilty conscience, "How about Ah Le following you these two days?"
"Much smarter than Wu En, he learns things quickly, but he's not very good at words. He has no other shortcomings." Zhou Sen said, "By the way, has he ever gone to school?"
"No, he was picked up by Uncle Chang. He followed Uncle Chang when he was about seven or eight years old. He should know some of his words, but he has never been to school." Bai Yulan said.
"Ale must be eighteen years old. It's not too late to start studying now, so I decided to send him to school."
"You want to send Ah Le to study?"
"Yes, people who are illiterate are not polite. Since Changbo gave Ale to me, of course I have to be responsible for him. I can't let him down after decades of life. Please help me look for it to see if there is anything suitable for him. For literacy schools for his age group, there is no problem if the tuition is a little expensive," Zhou Sen said.
"Do you really want to train A Le?"
"Of course, Ale and I had similar childhood experiences. If I hadn't met Anthony's father, I wouldn't be lying in that smelly mud ditch now. Ale has a pure character, is loyal and reliable, and such a person is not good. Training, wouldn’t it be a waste?” Zhou Sen said.
"You have to be willing to do it if Ah Le is willing. He has a very stubborn temper."
"He may not listen to what I say, but he may not listen to what you say. We will decide this matter after Chang Bo comes back. We will find a school first before we talk." Zhou Sen waved his hand, and the matter was settled. .
"Um."
"When your aunt's family comes over, we will have elders, and we won't be alone anymore."
"Xiao Sen, if one day you get tired of it, just tell me directly. I won't force you to keep you." Bai Yulan said, gently leaning Zhen's head on Zhou Sen's chest.
"Silly woman, we are husband and wife, we are one body. Why should I leave you? We have agreed that we will grow old together." Zhou Sen stroked Bai Yulan's black hair, feeling infinite tenderness in his heart. .
In his previous life, he worked hard for half his life and achieved nothing. He didn't expect that in this era, he would still gain so much.
This life is enough.
"Su Yun came to me today and said that she didn't like Feng Hua at all. She only agreed to marry him because of pressure from Su Wenqing. Ever since what happened with Xiaowan and her son, she has become even more intolerant. ." Bai Yulan said.
"Why did she come to you to tell you this?" Zhou Sen asked strangely.
"If I marry you, his father will have no chance, and there won't be so much antagonism and hatred between us. Besides, Su Yun is also a smart girl, but sometimes you men see her. Her beauty and family background." Bai Yulan said.
"When a man looks at a woman, the first impression is like this. You women look at a man, so why not? It's just that a person with depth will not stick to appearances when looking at anyone." Zhou Sen said, "I have not met Su Yun a few times. , and how do we know what kind of person she is?"
"Su Yun actually wanted to be a doctor who could save lives and heal the wounded, but Su Wenqing felt that studying medicine was not suitable for girls, so he asked him to study literature, music, and literature. However, in the current turbulent society in Manchuria, , everything is imprisoned, she cannot get the soil that nourishes her, she is very depressed, very painful, and even wants to escape from the Ice City..."
"Escape..." Zhou Sen couldn't help but be slightly startled. Will this soft young lady really have such great courage and courage in the future?
"She wants to be a doctor because her mother died of illness, right?"
"Well, her mother died of illness early, which left a deep shadow in her heart. She wanted to study medicine when she grew up and be able to treat patients like her mother so that she would not die young."
"This is someone else's business, let's not get involved." Zhou Sen.
"Don't you think Su Yun is quite pitiful? She just married someone she doesn't like. That Feng Hua is not a good person. Although it is said that a prodigal son can never turn back, he doesn't look like a prodigal son who can turn back. "Bai Yulan said, "If Su Yun follows him, there will be no good results sooner or later. Moreover, even if Su Wenqing is a hundred years later, Su Yun may still be Mrs. Feng or not."
"There are a lot of injustices in this world. Can we take care of them? Can we take care of them all?" Zhou Sen chuckled, "Let's just take care of ourselves. Stop being sentimental and go to sleep."
After saying that, Zhou Sen raised his hand and turned off the bedside lamp.
Bai Yulan also lay down, lying on her side, her head resting on Zhou Sen's shoulder, and she fell asleep soon.
…
After an internal review, Cynthia (Natasha) regained the freedom to enter and exit the Soviet Russian Embassy.
Zhou Sen made an appointment with Natasha by negotiating with her at the infectious disease hospital, but the person who came to meet was not Natasha.
It's Arman.
"Mr. Arman, it's too risky for you to come here so rashly. I have Yamamoto Satoshi by my side."
"Don't worry, our meeting is safe." Arman was actually dressed like a Russian aunt, which was really surprising. I don't know if it was inspired by his previous disguise as a woman.
"What could make Mr. Arman take such a big risk to see me?" Zhou Sen was also curious.
"Didn't you ask me to confirm whether Markovich has returned to Soviet Russia?"
"Yes, is there any news about him?"
"General Pishkov used all the power at his disposal, but failed to find any clues about Markovich. What is certain is that he must not have returned to Soviet Russia. There is only one possibility now. He is still in Manchuria. Even in Ice City, either the person is dead or he is still hiding somewhere." Arman said.
"I agree with this analysis and judgment. However, even so, it is difficult for us to determine whether he is still in Ice City." Zhou Sen said.
"I discussed it with Pishkov and came up with a plan that would allow you to investigate Markovich's whereabouts in an honest manner."
"You are not using Natasha to test my method, are you?"
"You two are attracting each other and inciting each other to rebel. How you perform this drama well depends on how you perform it," Arman said.
Zhou se understood that both sides had to do one thing for each other to show their loyalty and control.
Natasha proposed at that time and asked him to help find the whereabouts of Malkovich to gain trust and get the handle into her hands.
Zhou Sen, on the other hand, can follow the trend and investigate the whereabouts of Malkovich. Although the Japanese may not let him have access to confidential information, they must give him something to deal with Natasha. Whether it is true or false, these are all It's information.
The question now is, which one will fall first? Zhou Sen will fall first. Naturally, he will listen to Natasha. If Natasha falls first, the initiative lies with Zhou Sen.
According to the script design, Natasha should fall first, work for Zhou Sen first, and then fall deeper into it step by step.
Zhou Sen took the lead.
However, the Soviet Union already knew that everything was done deliberately, and then introduced Zhou Sen into the "trap" step by step.
This is the most reasonable.
But now it's the other way around, with Natasha taking the initiative and him becoming the passive one, but he can still explain it.
Because Su Fang was "impatient"...
"Comrade Wasim, when necessary, we have to make some sacrifices. You know, we are carrying out a great cause." Arman said.
"Does it have to be like this?" Zhou Sen understood the price Arman said, but it was unfair to Natasha, and it was not necessarily a good thing for him.
This made it difficult for him to make a choice.
"If you don't do this, it will be difficult for you to trust the Japanese." Arman said.
"Can you allow me to think about it?" Zhou Sen really doesn't want to do this. There must be another way. "Mr. Arman, can you stop being so anxious and find a safer way?"
"Time waits for no one. We don't have much time to wait for you to finish this step by step. We must eliminate the internal cancer immediately. Once we take action now, you will be exposed. Do you understand?"
Zhou Sen nodded. Once Pishkov took action now, he would basically be exposed to the eyes and noses of the Japanese.
It is obvious that Pishkov is not willing to wait any longer, or the people above him do not have the patience. In fact, this is also the case. The war situation in Europe is changing too fast, and Soviet Russia also needs to speed up its military preparations to cope with the upcoming war.
If he hadn't been married, he might not have had such a huge psychological burden, but now he has a family.
Even if he didn't have anything happen to Natasha, he would still feel guilty. Besides, he knew Yamamoto Satoshi. He was a thoughtful person. If he wanted to perform well in front of him, everything had to look real. OK.
"Markovich is a military doctor, and he must have a lot of evidence in his mind about the Japanese manufacturing bacterial weapons. He is an important witness. As long as he can be found alive, it will be extremely beneficial to our publicity in public opinion. Arman said.
Zhou Sen doesn't understand this. Of course he understands it, but it can't be found by looking for it. The Japanese haven't found it yet, so how can it be so easy to find it?
"Give me an answer as soon as possible. It can't take too long." Arman stood up, wrapped his headscarf, and left on high-heeled leather shoes. His walking posture was a bit weird, and she looked like a bloated middle-aged Russian aunt.
Zhou Sen was angry and funny, but he was not in the mood to laugh.
This is forcing yourself to break through the bottom line.
Gave a routine report to Yamamoto Satoshi and described his secret date with "Natasha".
Yamamoto Satoshi didn't have any doubts, so he ordered him to continue to increase his efforts and win Natasha as soon as possible.
Once Natasha is captured, they will be able to control the movements of the Soviet consulate, which is of great significance.
…
On the railway track leading to Ice City, a green bus was driving hard. The speed was not very fast, and the bus was crowded with people.
They are all young people with a hint of longing and hope on their faces. It may be the first time in their lives that they have traveled far away and are about to live in a big city.
There is a family here, with five or six children at least. The man is in his early forties and is dressed like a teacher. The woman looks younger and wears a floral cloth coat. , with a silver hairpin on his head, and his face looked a little weathered.
He held a baby in his arms, wearing a tiger-head hat and tiger-head shoes. At first glance, he looked like a little boy. In his innocent eyes, he didn't know what kind of life he would encounter next. .
If there was no way to survive, who would be willing to leave their hometown and go somewhere else to make a living? A trace of sadness flashed across the woman's face, and she glanced at her husband sitting by the window.
When she first got married, her husband was also a high-spirited, handsome young man who was known as the rising star of Xinglin.
But now, life and reality have already crushed his spine, and he can only barely survive, unable to provide his family with food, clothing, and safety.
What kind of world is this, what kind of human world is this?
What kind of fate will the future hold? This couple, who is already past their thirties and has five children, really doesn’t know.
Maybe this time it was too impulsive.
