Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 412 Seeing an old friend again [-]

"Haven't you heard of the fortune teller? It can turn for the better or for the worse. If you don't have foresight, you will always have near-term worries. Brother, it's better to make a fortune-telling to avoid disaster." The blind fortune-teller replied.

"I don't care. My son has just turned one month old. Why don't you come to my house and do the math for the child? You are indispensable to the fortune." Qian Xiaobao asked.

"It's okay to take a walk. It hasn't opened since morning, and the breakfast money hasn't been settled yet." The blind man fumbled for the paper on the floor and picked up a bamboo root and handed it over.

He meant that Qian Xiaobao was leading him in front.

Qian Xiaobao grabbed the other end of the bamboo stick, turned and walked forward.

"Don't you have any money for breakfast? This is because people in Shanghai are so discerning that no one is willing to let you cheat!" Qian Xiaobao whispered as he walked.

"Be careful what you say, keep a little bit of morality, and be careful that you will have a son who will have no eyes in the future!" the blind man behind whispered.

The bystanders saw that Qian Xiaobao was leading the blind man in front of the two, but in fact the blind man was secretly guiding Qian Xiaobao with a bamboo stick.

The two walked into an alley one after the other.

Qian Xiaobao walked in front and didn't see it. The blind man behind was holding a bamboo stick with one hand and wiping his face with a handkerchief.

Suddenly Qian Xiaobao felt the bamboo stick in his hand lighten, and when he looked back, he found that the blind man in front of him had disappeared. It turned out that his sallow complexion was gone, his fair skin, his mustache, and Lin Zhengjiang was throwing away his old coat. On the ground, he took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from his pocket and put them on.

"I don't need to change the line to know it's you!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"I'm not for you. Many people in Shanghai are looking for me, so I have to be careful, so I have to change clothes frequently." Lin Zhengjiang replied.

Lin Zhengjiang was a frail scholar when he left the Northeast, but now he has become a very experienced agent.

"What do you want from me?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"It's nothing. I'm relieved now. Seeing you coming to Shanghai again, I want to meet and have a good chat with you. It's hard for me to have no one to talk to me for a few months." Lin Zhengjiang said.

Lin Zhengjiang turned around and walked out of the alley, with Qian Xiaobao following behind.

Lin Zhengjiang walked across the street and alley into a small bar.Most foreigners coming from this kind of place are safer.

The two sat down in the corner, and Lin Zhengjiang ordered a bottle of whiskey with ice from the waiter.

"Didn't you say that the Japanese and No. 76 had your photo in their hands? How did you escape and come back?" Qian Xiaobao asked in a low voice.

"That night I jumped into the water and swam to Chongming Island, then fled to Nantong and then went to Chongqing. The boss of the military command rewarded me and then sent me back to secretly cooperate with the Americans to do intelligence work. I am now in Shanghai The people in the military command don’t meet, so it’s safe.” Lin Zhengjiang replied.

"Although this is the case, we must be careful. There should be many Japanese spies in the concession." Qian Xiaobao said.

"I know that now the American people don't give me many tasks, so it's much easier than before, and the American people are also very generous, so now I live a good life." Lin Zhengjiang replied.

"If you have anything to do when you come to Shanghai in the future, you can find me in Tongqing in the International Settlement. A woman fled to Shanghai with her child to wash and mend clothes for the coolies. I am now living with their mother and son. , this can also cover up the identity." Lin Zhengjiang continued.

Now tens of 10 people have fled to Shanghai, and there are many wild mandarin ducks like Lin Zhengjiang.

"Be careful with women! Don't forget that you almost died at the hands of a woman last time." Qian Xiaobao warned.

"No, that woman came from the countryside and doesn't know anything. The child is only four years old. No one would suspect that the woman is about my age." Lin Zhengjiang explained.

Qian Xiaobao looked at Lin Zhengjiang, in just three years, Lin Zhengjiang looked like a 40-year-old man who had aged in his teens.

"I want to see you just to tell you that if you want to leave China now, I can help you. You can go to the Philippines and Singapore, and then go to the United States from there. Don't do it to the Japanese anymore." Lin Zhengjiang looked at Qian Xiaobao Said.

"Thank you, I can't leave now." Qian Xiaobao shook his head and replied.

Half an hour later, Qian Xiaobao and Lin Zhengjiang left the bar and walked in different directions.

On the way back to Tongqingli, Lin Zhengjiang bought a catty of crisp sesame candy and a piece of stewed meat, which he carried in his hand.

Walking through Qingshi Street, Lin Zhengjiang turned into a narrow alley.When he pushed open the yard door of the shed, he saw a woman squatting in the yard washing clothes.

Seeing Lin Zhengjiang coming back, the woman stood up to meet him.

"This candy is for you and Fang Mao." Lin Zhengjiang said.

He walked to the big tub and looked down at the clothes in the tub, each piece of clothing was patched.

"Are you washing clothes for others to make money again? Didn't you let you do it? How much money can you make!" Lin Zhengjiang said dissatisfied.

The woman smiled embarrassedly and replied: "I feel uncomfortable when I'm too idle. It's good to earn a little money. I can't bear to rely on you to feed us."

Lin Zhengjiang kicked the big wooden basin lightly with his foot and said, "If you don't have any money, ask me for it in the future. Don't do laundry anymore."

He turned around and walked into the room. A four-year-old child was squatting on the ground with a dozen pieces of various cigarette pack papers.

The woman came over and quickly helped Lin Zhengjiang take off his coat and hung it on the hanger in the corner.

"Didn't I already give you money to buy toys for Amao? Don't be reluctant to spend money!" Lin Zhengjiang said.

He took off his shoes and fell on the bed.There were two beds, one big and one small, in the small room. The big one was slept by Lin Zhengjiang and the woman, and the small one was slept by Ah Mao.

The woman picked up Lin Zhengjiang's leather shoes and went outside to remove the mud from the soles and put them in a cool place.

At this time, a child named Amao came out and said, "Uncle Zhang is asleep. Mother, why did you give that big smoker the money that Uncle Zhang gave me to buy toys?"

The woman quickly raised her hand and patted the child's head and said softly and harshly: "Don't mention that person in front of your Uncle Zhang! Don't call him a big smoker either! From now on, I'll hit you once you say it!"

The eyelids of Lin Zhengjiang who was lying on the bed in the room moved slightly.

Uncle Zhang in the child's mouth is him, and this is his cover identity when he returns to Shanghai this time.

After Qian Xiaobao and Lin Zhengjiang broke up, they rushed to the Director's Office of the French Concession to find Zhang Lixing.

Zhang Lixing walked out of the board of directors with an envelope and Qian Xiaobao.

"This is the house photo of you and Ms. Jin. Everything has been done for you." Zhang Lixing said.

"I won't come to Shanghai for a while after delivering the food this time, and it may be next year when I come again. During this period, I will trouble you to live there and take care of the house for me, otherwise I am really worried." Qian Xiaobao said.
