Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 55 The Bonnie and Clyde Story

What puzzled Harue Kono was that the enemy intelligence organization should have killed Zhou Xingfu in the open, so that it could serve as a deterrent.

Similar things have happened a few times before.But why secretly assassinate this time?

The second thing that Harue Kono couldn't figure out was why those people took away Zhou Xingfu's gun?Are they short of guns?
The pistol of Zhou Xingfu that Harue Kono couldn't understand is now in Qian Xiaobao's hands.

In order not to leave footprints, that night he took off Zhou Xingfu's holster and walked to the riverside to tread water for a long distance before landing.

The Nambu Type [-] pistol was issued only to Japanese officers.Manchukuo's army and the security bureau nominally belonging to Manchukuo are not allotted.

This pistol owned by Zhou Xingfu is a brand name gun.Qian Xiaobao played with it fondly for a long time.

From downstairs came the sound of a violin being played.It was Mr. Savish playing to Mrs. Savish who was bedridden.

Only then did Qian Xiaobao calm down from his excitement.He must hide this gun immediately, and he will go out to pick up Xiao Linxun to his new home in a while.

Harbin Welfare and Nursing School is a semi-military school established by the Japanese after they arrived in Harbin.More than half of the students here are students from Japan.

Whether they are Japanese students or Chinese students, most of them will go to the Japanese military hospital or serve in the Manchukuo army in the future.

Kobayashi only has half a day of free activities on Sunday every week.Qian Xiaobao wanted to bring her here as soon as possible to show her his new home.

Xiao Linxun was waiting for him at a place she had agreed with Qian Xiaobao far away from the school.

Xiao Linxun, who had already changed into a set of ordinary clothes, and Qian Xiaobao, who came over, drove to his residence in the same carriage.

"Your time off is too short! Or I'll take you to the movies! I made a friend who took me to a dance club. There were men and women writhing in each other's arms. It makes my heart almost jump out of my throat!" Qian Xiaobao said happily.

After Qian Xiaobao arrived in Harbin, he saw a lot of new things, and saw that the streets were full of foreigners.

Everyone is looking for fashion.In his view, being fashionable means being shameless.

Kobayashi just listened quietly with a smile on his face.

There are many means of travel in Harbin.Rickshaws, horse-drawn carts, donkey carts, motorcycles, and even cars that only rich people can afford.

These cars with different prices naturally divide people into different classes.

If you can't see nature, you have no thoughts in your heart.But when a black foreign car drove past Qian Xiaobao while honking its horn, he thought in his heart that one day I would sit here and be a grandpa!
Qian Xiaobao opened the door to signal to Xiao Linxun that someone on the first floor should go upstairs more quietly.

The two walked up to the second floor, and Xiao Linxun looked in surprise at the luxurious decoration in her eyes.She was also a child of a poor family in Japan, and lived a hard life after following her brother to Northeast China.

But Kobayashi immediately frowned.

"Shouldn't the people who live here be rich people?" Xiao Linxun asked.

"Of course!" Qian Xiaobao replied.

"Why is there a small pile of potatoes in the corner of the first floor?" Kobayashi asked.

Qian Xiaobao was stunned.

It's only May now, and the fresh potatoes haven't come down yet.Potatoes can only be last year.But last year's potatoes have already germinated by this time, and even poor people generally don't eat them at this time, because they are poisonous.

Only then did Qian Xiaobao realize that Xiao Linxun was much more careful than him.And the couple of foreigners, the old man and the old lady downstairs, were far less affluent than he had imagined.

No longer thinking about the old couple, Qian Xiaobao picked up a thick book and showed it to Xiao Linxun.

This is what he asked for from Guan Xiaoye.

Bonnie and Clyde were thugs who criss-crossed several states in the United States during the Great Depression.Their deeds caused a sensation throughout the United States.Even many Americans regard them as heroes in their hearts.At that time, news about them was often published in newspapers in Shanghai and Tianjin, China.

At that time, Guan Xiaoye bought all the newspapers that published the deeds of Bonnie and Clyde back home in Tianjin.Then cut out the relevant content and paste it on a large notebook.

It contains the life of Bonnie and Clyde and all their criminal records in the United States until the final death process.

There are even pictures of Bonnie and Clyde in the newspaper.

Qian Xiaobao gave this notebook to Xiao Linxun because he wanted her to read it to him.

Kobayashi came to Northeast China after the Great Earthquake in Japan.The school she went to was a common elementary school in Manchukuo where half of the teachers taught Chinese and the other half taught Japanese.

Looking at the appearance, Kobayashi Xun is no different from ordinary Northeast girls.

Xiao Linxun sat by the table and opened the book and read to Qian Xiaobao in a low voice the words written on the tofu cubes in the newspaper.

Husband and wife, one is handsome and the other is beautiful.Qian Xiaobao was deeply attracted by the story of driving a car and carrying a few or even a dozen long and short guns across the United States.

For a few hours, Xiao Linxun read it gently, and Qian Xiaobao spent the time listening intently with his hands on his chin.

It was Kobayashi Xun who broke the atmosphere first.

"It's getting late, I have to go back. As soon as the time is up, the school will immediately start counting the number of people." Xiao Linxun said.

"I haven't invited you to dinner yet!" Qian Xiaobao said anxiously.

"There is no time, and you will be punished if you are locked out of the school." Xun Xiaolin said as he got up.

Suddenly Kobayashi thought of an important question.

"It won't be cheap for you to rent this house. Where does the money come from?" Xiao Linxun asked.

"My friend paid half a year's rent for me first. I will pay him back later when I have money." Qian Xiaobao replied a little nonchalantly.

He and Guan Xiaoye are good friends, so the money matter is trivial to him.

"Don't cause trouble for others! Tell me how much it is, and I will bring the money when I come next time. You must pay him back right away!" Xiao Linxun said in an unquestionable tone.

Qian Xiaobao hired a rickshaw to take Xiao Linxun away.

Now he thought of the potato thing Kobayashi said, and he thought of the silent and polite old man Shawish and his old lady who lay in bed all day.

Qian Xiaobao bought several large loaves in one go in a bakery.In his perception, foreigners eat bread.

Back home, Qian Xiaobao put the bread in the restaurant on the first floor.Then he knocked on the door of Old Man Savish's bedroom.He pointed to the potatoes in the corner to the old man Savish who came out, shaking his head and waving his hands again and again.

When the old man Savish returned to the bedroom again, Mrs. Savish asked, "What's the matter?"

"The kind boy gave us some more bread. We don't need to eat those potatoes," replied old Savish.

He went to the desk and opened the drawer and took out a notebook.Then he began to write with a pen, and the Jewish old man actually wrote down every time Qian Xiaobao gave him something in his notebook.

　The title of the book is not good for some friends.I've tried a few to no avail.Little bandit, little bandit down the mountain, and so on.The introduction can be changed, it's easy.Let me think again.
