Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 432

The proximity of Wusong Town to the Yangtze River is very important.During the Qing Dynasty, a fort was built here.The two wars between China and Japan on [-] and [-] August were the hardest hit areas, and the houses were completely destroyed.

After [-], there were not many people in the whole town, and all that could be seen were ruins and ruins.

Lin Zhengjiang and Fang Ma, Amao, got off the rickshaw, first bought some food in the town, and then he took the mother and son into the dilapidated Tongji University.

Not long after being bombed by the Japanese army in [-], all the teachers and students of the school moved westward as a whole.Now there is only a piece of broken bricks and tiles left here.

Lin Zhengjiang has been here several times in the past few years as an intelligence officer. He took two people and hid in a half-destroyed house.

"In the evening, I will take you across the river in a boat." Lin Zhengjiang said.

"Where are we going across the river?" Mother Fang asked.

"Go to a very far place, we will be safe there." Lin Zhengjiang replied.

Amao is too young so he doesn't feel scared but finds it fun and novel.

Fang's mother became more and more restless along the way, and now she finally plucked up the courage to say to Lin Zhengjiang: "I want to go back and take a last look at that dead ghost, and stop thinking about it in the future."

Lin Zhengjiang said calmly: "Okay, but you have to be careful, now the enemies are looking for me everywhere, and now they probably want to find me by looking for you."

"After all, when we are married, I'd better take a look at him and say a few words to him. Can you give me some money for the last time?" Mother Fang said.

"How much?" Lin Zhengjiang asked.

"One hundred is enough. This is the last time I will give him money. From now on, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies. I will take Amao back and show him." Fang Ma said.

"Okay, I'll give you one hundred and fifty for the round trip by car." Lin Zhengjiang said as he took out the money and handed it to Mother Fang.

"You wait for me here, I will definitely bring the child back." Fang's mother said, picked up Mao and walked out.

Looking at the backs of the women and children, Lin Zhengjiang's expression turned cold instantly.He pulled out the pistol from his belt, took a look at it, and then reinserted it to open the safety.

After the women and children disappeared from sight, Lin Zhengjiang put the pistol back in his waist and walked out.

An hour later, Lin Zhengjiang appeared in another alley four or five miles away from Tongqingli.

Lin Zhengjiang had followed Fang's mother before, and Fang's mother's man lived in this alley.

Lin Zhengjiang was sure that Fang's mother would not come back as quickly as he brought Amao.He looked around for a while, walked into a small restaurant, ordered two small dishes, and drank slowly with a pot of rice wine.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Lin Zhengjiang saw Fang's mother appearing at the entrance of the alley with Ah Mao on her back.

Obviously, Fang's mother walked back behind Ah Mao's back in order to save money.

Seeing Fang's mother walking into the alley, Lin Zhengjiang slowly poured all the rice wine left in the pot into the wine glass and drained it.

Mother Fang carried Ah Mao to the door of a Shikumen, opened the door and walked in.

Wealthy families in Shanghai live in the sample buildings, and the poorer ones have a Shikumen.In this shikumen, there are a total of seven or eight tenants from the east and west wing rooms in the front yard to the two-story building in the middle to the utility room at the back.

The war caused tens of thousands of foreigners to flock to Shanghai, which in turn contributed to the housing prices in Shanghai.A large number of landlords and second landlords have made a lot of black-hearted money by renting houses at high prices.

The chattering women in the yard all focused their eyes on Fang Ma.

If eyes could speak, there are only two words in their eyes now: Despicable!

The rich don't see the poor at all, and the poor look down on those who are poorer than them.

Fang's mother forced a smile on her face and said humbly, "I'm here to find my man."

"Everyone knows, who else can you look for if you don't look for your man? Your family just lay down when you came back. Go in and have a look." A woman said with a smile.

The first half of the sentence is obviously mocking.

Fang's mother's face turned red and she lowered her head and walked through the two-story building into the utility room in the backyard.

But as soon as she walked into the utility room, she bumped into Fang Asi!
Fang Ahsi fell back on the ground.

This big smoker didn't have much flesh on his body, his body was weak and his feet had no roots, so Fang's mother was knocked down by a woman.

Fang Ah Si lay on the ground and hummed: "Did you bring any money? Go and buy me a couple of clays to enjoy yourself. It's not enough for me to smoke a couple of puffs in the afternoon!"

But just after he finished speaking, Fang Ah Si jumped up from the ground like a zombie.

"Why did I forget! Where's that person? Where did he go?" Fang Ah Si grabbed Fang Ma's arm and asked eagerly.

"He has something to go out, and he will be back in a few days." Mother Fang said.

"Aren't you and Amao at home today?" Fang Ahsi asked again.

"Amao and I went out to see him and he just came back." Mother Fang replied.

Fang Ahsi nodded and asked again: "When will that person come back?"

Fang's mother felt her heart beating violently and replied calmly: "Come back in three days, he told me himself."

"That's good, that's good!" Fang Ah Si walked back and forth in the utility room excitedly.

"3000 yuan, 3000 yuan! Did you know that that person was actually sent by Chongqing to carry out an intelligence assassination! Today, the officer in No. 76 personally told me that if I provide information, I will be rewarded with 3000 yuan after catching that person. Money!" Fang Ah Si said, his eyes were shining, and he couldn't tell that his addiction to smoking had broken out.

With trembling hands, Mother Fang slowly put Ah Mao down from her back.

"Go, play in the front yard! Don't stay in the backyard, there is a well in the backyard!" Mother Fang instructed.

Amao obediently ran away.

"Wait another three days, wait another three days and you'll get 3000 yuan!" Fang Ahsi said.

He turned around in the utility room and said excitedly: "Come and tell me as soon as he comes back in three days! I will report to No. 76 immediately. As long as I catch that Xiangwuning, I can get 3000 yuan." Yen, it's Yen!"

Fang Ahsi spoke excitedly, completely unable to tell that he had already started to smoke.

Suddenly Fang Ah Si yawned and asked, "Did you bring any money this time?"

"Bring it," Fang's mother replied.

Fang Ah Si backed up and lay on the bed and said weakly: "Hurry up and buy me two taels. Hurry up, I won't be able to hold on!"

Fang's mother didn't move and stared blankly at her man who was lying on the bed like a mummy.

"Hurry up!" Fang Ah Si roared.

"I, I'll go right away!" Mother Fang said.

She slowly exited the utility room, turned around, walked to the door of the small kitchen, hesitated, gritted her teeth, went in and picked up the kitchen knife on the cutting board.

When Fang's mother walked into the utility room again, Fang Ah Si asked in surprise: "You're back so soon? Take it out and let me take a breath."

"I'll take it out for you to enjoy!" Mother Fang said.

She grabbed the kitchen knife with both hands and slashed towards the bed!
"How long is 3000 yuan enough for you to smoke cigarettes? How many times is it enough for you to go to the kiln? How many times is it enough for you to push Pai Gow?..." Fang Ma said while chopping.

Fang Ah Si who was lying on the bed had been silent for a long time without saying a word.
