Xu San pinched his head, this matter was not easy to handle.
It would be easier if they were taken away by the puppet troops.
He has done this before, arresting ordinary people, charging them with random charges, and imprisoning them for a few days.
But doing this is nothing more than making some money.
When the money comes, people let go.
Even if there is no money, I will release him if he is detained for a few more days.
The number of beds in the cell is also limited, so if there is nothing to gain from it, it will be thrown out as a matter of course.
But for those captured by the Japanese, the situation is more complicated.
There were spies, there were agents, there were people who stood in their way, there were people they didn't like.
Generally speaking, people captured by these devils generally cannot come back.
It’s not that I can’t come back, I can only say that it’s very rare.
Xu San didn't tell Chu Lian this because he was afraid that she might have fetal motility.
He calmly lit another cigarette, thinking that he could only spend some money to visit the prisoner's cell. This group of arrested people should all be locked together.
"What's your man's name, and why was he arrested? Japs generally don't arrest people for no reason in the county because of their reputation."
"The head of my family is called Ye Tian."
Upon hearing this name, Xu San immediately choked on the smoke and coughed.
Seeing this, Chu Lian quickly asked: "Third Master, what's wrong with you? Do you know my man?"
Xu San waved his hand quickly, "I don't know him, I don't know him, but if your man can come back, it would be best to change his name."
Ye Tian, this sounds like the name of the protagonist of the online novel, and it is also the name that causes trouble.
"The name was given by my parents, why should I change it?"
"I'm just saying that this name is too big and can easily cause trouble. Girl, just listen to it and don't take it seriously."
After hearing this, Chu Lian nodded thoughtfully. In less than a year since she got married, there were indeed always troubles at home.
If my husband really comes back safely this time, I really need to persuade him to change his name.
After adjusting her mood, Chu Lian continued: "Two nights ago, it was the night of the shooting. The Japs kicked open the door of my house and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets looking for something, maybe someone. After searching for a long time, they couldn't find it, but they found that my house A short knife was passed around and I wanted to take it away. My man went to grab it, but he was knocked unconscious by the Japanese and took it away. After that, there was no news at all. I don’t know anyone here, and my neighbors don’t want to cause trouble. You refused to help me, so I came to see Sister Cuilan because I had no other choice, and Sister Cuilan said you might have something to do."
Difficult to handle.
Xu San's brows knitted into the Chinese character "Sichuan" and then asked: "What does the knife look like?"
The Japs still have a very high vision. Generally speaking, a knife cannot penetrate their eyes. Those who can spend labor and money to snatch it are probably considered to be valuable swords.
Chu Lian made a gesture with her hand, about one foot long: "That short knife is passed down from family. My man said it has been passed down for four generations, and it's called Hanshuang."
Yes, there’s a name, it’s a precious sword.
"I have another question, what does your man do?" Xu San continued to ask.
"The blacksmith!"
After listening to Chu Lian's narration, Xu San also thought about the plot of "Bright Sword" based on history, and seemed to find a clue. After thinking for a while, he probably had a clue in his mind: "I can only try this, no. Guaranteed. It’s very difficult to get people from the Japanese! It’s very difficult! Also, you can ask around now to find out who else was captured that night. Let’s count them up.”
"Well, well, Third Master, whatever you say is right!"
Chu Lian agreed, and now Xu San agreed to help her find the person, so she naturally obeyed Xu San's words.
"Do it in secret! Also, don't reveal me."
"I know, I will never say it was your third master's intention."
"Prepare money. I don't know how much to use. In short, the more the better."
"I brought the money!" Chu Lian said and quickly took out a cloth bag from her waist. After opening it, there were more than ten oceans in it, and then handed it to Xu San.
Xu San took a look and took 10 oceans: "For the sake of my sister-in-law, I'll take these first! I, Xu San, follow the rules. If things don't work out, I'll return them all!"
In fact, Xu San didn't want to accept the money, but he knew that if he didn't accept it, Chu Lian wouldn't feel at ease at all, and he would beg for help everywhere, which would disrupt all his plans.
Sometimes, you can't do things with good intentions, because there are countless examples of good intentions leading to bad things.
"Third Master, please accept it all. I know you also have to take care of it. I'm afraid ten oceans won't be enough!"
Xu San waved his hand and said impatiently: "I know whether it is enough or not. You just need to do what I told you."
Chu Lian turned to look at Ma Cuilan and asked what she meant with her eyes.
Ma Cuilan came over and pushed the money back: "Keep it as long as the third master asks you to keep it. You can go home and raise the baby in peace now."
"Yes!" Chu Lian agreed, then rewrapped the money and put it away.
He glanced at Xu San.
He glanced at Ma Cuilan again.
In my heart, I felt that the two of them seemed very familiar, but I didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear that if I asked, I would offend Xu San and Ma Cuilan as well.
Since her husband was arrested, he has experienced the warmth and warmth of human relationships in the world, and also knows how helpless a woman without a man to rely on can be. Today she finally saw a little hope, but she didn't want to offend the only person who could help her now because of curiosity and gossip.
"I won't disturb you anymore. My family's men depend entirely on Mr. Xu."
Ma Cuilan sent Chu Lian out of the house, but Xu San did not follow. After all, he came in over the wall. It would not be good to show up in front of the widow's door again.
When he came back, seeing that the little girl didn't follow him, Xu San asked, "Where is Xiao Meizi?"
"We are playing in the yard. This girl is very wild, like a kid."
"It's better to be wild. You won't be bullied easily."
"This child has a hard life. She lost her father when she was three years old. She probably doesn't even remember what her father looks like."
Ma Cuilan's eyes dimmed, as if remembering the past, she was silent for a moment before saying, "Let's not talk about these sesame seeds and rotten millet. Let's talk about Chu Lian, his man. I have been in Ping'an County for a long time, so I know He was captured by the Japanese and had a narrow escape from death. Do you think he is now..."
"He hasn't been captured for long, so he should still be alive. I know where the prisoner's cell is. I'll go there tomorrow to find out. If he's locked up there, it won't be a big deal. Just spend some money. If he's not there... "
Xu San didn't finish his words, just to leave a thought.
In this troubled world, keep a thought, that is, keep hope. As long as there is hope, people can survive.
Xiao Meizi came back, her little face was flushed with cold, and she was holding a snowball in her hand: "Uncle Xu, mother, let's go build a snowman." After saying that, she started to gesture with her hands, "I want to build a big snowman." , bigger than the one at Uncle Xu’s house.”
Xu San likes Xiao Meizi very much, maybe because Xiao Meizi is the first person who opened his heart to him when he came to this world, and Xu San has no immunity to children and basically responds to every request, so he readily agreed. .
"Oh, great!"
Seeing Xu San agree, the little girl jumped up and down with joy. She immediately grabbed Xu San and Ma Cuilan one by one and came to her yard.
"Brother Xu, I'm sorry for making you laugh."
"It's okay, I quite like Xiao Meizi."
