Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 496
For Sha Biao, Qian Xiaobao's words are like imperial edicts.He was asked to find a man named Li Shuwen, and he immediately sent all his brothers out to Harbin to find someone.

However, there are so many gamblers and smokers in Harbin who searched around, but they couldn't find a person named Li Shuwen.

"Brother, this person is probably dead, right? When Qian Xiaobao comes back, tell him that he is dead." Er Biantou said.

"No! If Qian Xiaobao asks other people to help find someone after he comes back, if someone is found, it will be a big loss of face! Tell the brothers to look for it later!" Sha Biao said, shaking his head.

When Sha Biao and Er Biantou were talking, a man with disheveled hair and oil stains all over his body got into the grass and squatted by the water's edge by the Songhua River.

It is now near noon and the weather is warm.This beggar Hanako chose to come to the riverside at this time.

He looked around to see if there was no one around, and slowly took off his clothes, revealing his skinny body like a skeleton.

He took out two paper bags from his clothes and placed them on the grass, as well as a toothless comb, a box of matches and two cigarette butts, and carefully placed them on the grass.

Opening the big paper bag revealed the white clumped stuff inside, which was the soda he picked up from outside the restaurant on the street.

Begging Hanako slowly walked into the waist-deep water and squatted down to soak for a while.He was shivering all over from the cold river water.

Then he stood up slowly and carefully rubbed the mud on his body and face.After a while, it seemed as if there were strips of black earthworms crawling on his body and face.

Begging Hanako squatted in the water again to wash away the rubbed mud, stood up again and rubbed vigorously.

After a few times, the originally dark and scaly skin slowly revealed the yellowish white of the skin.

Beggar Hanako grabbed another handful of soda and bent over to stand in the water to wash his hair. The black water flowed down from his hair like ink.

It was already an hour after these things were done.

Hanako squatted naked by the water's edge, soaked her clothes and shoes in the water, and scrubbed them carefully with soap.

After another hour, Hanako hung the washed clothes on the bushes and squatted in the grass to bask in the sun.

He had chosen this time to come here, and after two or three hours of wind and sun, his clothes and shoes were almost dry.

Beggar Hanako carefully opened the matchbox, and there were a few crumpled banknotes in it. He had been asking for food for more than a month, and a kind person gave him money. He was not willing to spend it at all, except for a small amount of cigarette cream. All of them are here. up.

A few folded banknotes came out of the train box, as well as two matches and a black thing with big soybean grains.

The black thing is the tobacco cream he bought, and he will eat it to refresh himself before he goes to gamble at night.

Begging Hanako put a cigarette butt in her mouth, lit it with a match, and sipped it slowly.

He was Li Shuwen whom Fan Wengui entrusted Qian Xiaobao to find.The sun shone on his face and body, which had turned black and yellow from smoking opium for many years. Li Shuwen squatted in the grass like a skinny monkey.

But if you look closely at his face, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and regular facial features, if he is not too thin, then he is a standard handsome man.

Looking at the water of the Songhua River, Li Shuwen recalled his good days when he had ample food and clothing.

Li Shuwen's family has opened a powder room in Ning'an since his grandfather's generation.He made his fortune by selling flour to the Russians who built the railway to make bread.In his father's generation, the powder room was moved to Mudanjiang, and it was said that half of the people in Mudanjiang ate white flour from their flour factory.

Li Shuwen was born with a golden key in his mouth, and he is the only seedling of the old Li family.

From inviting the teacher to the home to sending him to study in Mudanjiang Middle School, the family spent a lot of money on him.

But just after Li Shuwen got married, a typhoid fever sent his parents away.From then on, Li Shuwen began to set up a family to support the family business.

A group of friends who only know how to eat, drink and have fun quickly surrounded him like a cat smelling fish.

Learning well is like climbing a mountain, learning bad is like slipping away.Li Shuwen soon ate, drank, prostituted, gambled and smoked all kinds of drugs.The family business of hundreds of thousands was wiped out in three or four years.

In addition to eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking, Li Shuwen also learned to cheat.He actually seduced Yaqin, the wife of his good friend Fan Wengui, and secretly partnered with him to defraud all of Fan Wengui's property and go to Harbin.

However, if you are infected with addiction and drug addiction, you will carry a bottomless pit with you, and the money you cheated will be spent quickly.

When the drug addiction broke out, Li Shuwen wanted to kill his parents, let alone the woman who was seduced by him?
He soon secretly found a trafficker and sold Yaqin into the kiln.And at that time, when Li Shuwen had no money, he even ran to the kiln and begged Yaqin for money.

But half a year later, Yaqin suddenly disappeared. When Li Shuwen came to the kiln again, the old bustard told him that Yaqin had been redeemed by a young man.

From then on, Li Shuwen lived a life of begging.

However, Li Shuwen is a principled person. Apart from buying cigarette cream and entering the gambling game to try his luck, he will not spend the money he wants even if he starves to death!
There was only the last bit of cigarette butt left, Li Shuwen put another cigarette butt in his mouth and lit it.

He picked up a wooden comb with missing teeth and combed his hair carefully.After combing his hair and taking a shower, Li Shuwen looked completely new.

In fact, the gambling game doesn't stop beggars in rags from entering, as long as you have money!
But Li Shuwen, the eldest young master, is a person who wants to save face. He must clean up as neatly as possible before he can enter the gambling game.

A gust of wind blew by, and goose bumps appeared on Li Shuwen's body.

"When I kill the Quartet and win a lot of money tonight, I will completely quit my gambling and drug addiction! Then I will make a fortune in business, so you all have to keep your eyes open to see what Li Shuwen is capable of!" Li Shuwen gritted his teeth. Said.

He didn't know how many times he had said such an oath.

Li Shuwen looked at the sun, the sun was already westward, it should be around three o'clock in the afternoon.He touched his clothes and shoes, half dry and half wet.

Li Shuwen gritted his teeth and put on his clothes and shoes.

Because the body is too thin, it looks like the whole person is dangling in the clothes.

Li Shuwen grabbed the matchbox and walked towards the city.

Casinos in Harbin are called clubs, and there are dozens of clubs, large and small, in the Taipingqiao area.

Li Shuwen didn't come to Taiping Bridge until Haishi.He closed his eyes and stretched out his right hand and began to circle in place. When he stopped again, his finger pointed to the west.

Li Shuwen walked forward in this direction without hesitation.

Bad gamblers believe in fate, and Li Shuwen is no exception.God told him to go west tonight to be lucky!
