Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 722 Return
Qian Xiaobao led a disheveled and dirty Xiaohong to the small hotel in the middle of the night.Back at the hotel, Xiaohong was busy boiling water, washing her hair and washing her clothes.

Qian Xiaobao said to Zhang Dehou: "Uncle, we have to leave tomorrow. Your old man has to dispose of the carriage. You can't drive the carriage to Shanghai."

Handling horse-drawn carriages is easy. There is a special cattle and horse market in Harbin. Horses are the main labor force these days, and the cattle and horse market is booming with people coming and going.

Zhang Dehou lowered his head for a long time before sighing and said: "I really regret it, if I don't let that bastard study, let him farm and inherit the family business honestly at home!"

For the sake of his son, Zhang Dehou abandoned his family, property, and everything, and several people died.But now he can only do what Qian Xiaobao said.

To avoid suspicion when sleeping, Qian Xiaobao slept on the top of the kang, beside him was Zhang Dehou, and then Zhang Dehou's wife, and Xiaohong slept on the kang.

Before going to bed, Xiaohong got up suddenly, picked up Qian Xiaobao's clothes and stuffed them under the mattress she was lying on, and pressed Qian Xiaobao's cotton shoes under her pillow.

Looking at Xiao Hong, who was swaying the waist of the water snake, Zhang Dehou and his wife cursed in their hearts: Fairy!

Qian Xiaobao had already told the two old people with certainty that he had a wife and three children, which was normal according to Qian Xiaobao's current age, but tonight this kid brought back a woman in a big way.

And with Zhang Dehou's wife's vicious eyes, it was obvious that the woman had never given birth to a child.

Now Zhang Dehou and his wife's impression of Qian Xiaobao has deteriorated again.And the desire to see his son Zhang Lixing immediately became stronger. The two old people had made up their minds to keep a close eye on their son after seeing him, and they couldn't let him mess around outside like Qian Xiaobao!

The next morning, the four of them got up, ate something hastily, and then drove the cart to the cattle and horse market. Zhang Dehou's two horses were fat and strong, and it was a good time to work hard according to their age.

As soon as the big cart entered the cattle and horse market, it was followed by many experts, but Zhang Dehou was not satisfied with the price they offered.More importantly, he couldn't bear it at all.

Qian Xiaobao didn't persuade him from the sidelines, he just squatted down with Xiaohong and waited quietly.

It wasn't until almost noon that Zhang Dehou finally sold the two horses and the cart. When the transaction was completed, he and his wife cried while stroking the two horses.

Qian Xiaobao watched quietly from the side, and he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from his original ideal of [-] acres of land, a cow, a wife, and children.

After selling the horse, the two old men became dazed, as if they had just died and hadn't raised their children.

Xiaohong whispered in Qian Xiaobao's ear: "Have you noticed the bag that the old lady is holding tightly? I can tell at a glance that there must be something valuable inside!"

"If you want to make a move, get out immediately! If you want to stay, just watch over the old lady!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"Come back with me in a while and take out my things. The valuable things of brother Biao, who I share with Erbiantou, are hidden at home." Xiaohong said.

"You go back alone, I have to go to the train station to see." Qian Xiaobao said.

"No! You must go with me!" Xiaohong said.

Since seeing Qian Xiaobao this time, Xiaohong has no intention of letting him go, and it's best not to let Qian Xiaobao out of her sight for a moment.

"From now on, I won't eat, drink or go to the latrine, even if you go to the bathhouse, I will follow you!" Xiaohong said through gritted teeth.

In the past few months, she has been floating in Harbin like a rootless duckweed. Now that she has finally grasped Qian Xiaobao's life-saving straw, she will never let go.

The two sent Zhang Dehou and his wife back to the small hotel first, and then rushed back to the place where Pianlian Xiaohong lived.

The two walked into the west wing room, Xiaohong asked Qian Xiaobao to lock the door to prevent anyone from entering, she lifted the brick from the kang mat and opened the kang to the chimney, found a small iron box in the black ash and held it in her hand inside.

The blind old lady sat on the kang and listened with her sensitive ears.She has already guessed that Xiaohong, a dead girl, must have hidden something behind her back in the house.

Xiaohong wrapped the tin box with a pillow towel and said to the old lady: "Auntie, I'm going to leave with my husband, and I won't come back again. Thank you for taking care of me all these years."

After speaking, Xiaohong took Qian Xiaobao out of the house and walked towards the street.

Already walking a long way on the street, Xiaohong turned her head and stomped her feet and shouted: "Go back quickly, don't follow any more!"

Not far behind the two of them, the skinny black dog has been following behind.Hearing Xiaohong's barking, the black dog stopped and looked at Xiaohong pitifully.

Xiaohong took Qian Xiaobao and ran away.After running a long distance, the two of them stopped to catch their breath.

"I heard people read a newspaper saying that a dog was dug up in your yard, but when I entered your house to cook for you, I saw two dogs. Where did the other dog go?" Xiaohong asked.

"I took the remaining dog away." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Xiaohong said bitterly: "Even if you take the dog away, you won't take me with you!"

After the army of the great northern country defeated the Kwantung Army and occupied the Northeast, it dismantled the machinery and equipment from a large number of factories and mines built by the Japanese and put them on trains to transport them back to the great northern country.

Most of the transportation methods take two routes, going south to Lushun Port for shipment to Vladivostok, but more materials go north through Harbin and go west to Manzhouli to be photographed.

Therefore, it is very important to ensure railway transportation. Most of the troops of the northern powers are stationed on the main line of the Northeast Railway. Of course, they can't take care of those branch railway lines.

Therefore, the railway from Harbin to Fengtian and Dalian is now smooth, and the four of Qian Xiaobao and the others boarded the train going south that night.

But Qian Xiaobao didn't sit all the way to Fengtian or the station further south, he took the three of them off the train in Changchun.

After getting off the train, Qian Xiaobao rushed directly to the headquarters of the Second Northeast Security Corps in Changchun to meet Wang Li, the deputy commander, who is also the station chief of the North Manchu Intelligence Station of the Military Command.

"Your report has been forwarded to me in Shanghai, and Li San'er also came back to report. You did a good job in Hejiang, but why did you come back so soon?" Wang Li asked.

Qian Xiaobao took out the newspaper that Xiaohong gave him and handed it to Wang Li, saying, "I can't stay any longer. There are too many people who know me in Northeast China now. I am always in danger of being exposed."

Wang Li took the newspaper and looked at it before putting it down.

Qian Xiaobao intuitively guessed that Wang Li must have read this newspaper.

"Bastard! Since I already know that I am in danger, I still don't want to let myself come back." Qian Xiaobao cursed in his heart.

Wang Li is also nervously thinking about whether to keep Qian Xiaobao or let him go back to Shanghai, and finally he decides to let Qian Xiaobao go back to Shanghai.

The traitor Qian Xiaobao is nothing to him at all, but Lin Zhengjiang behind Qian Xiaobao is now a celebrity in Boss Dai's eyes, and he can't afford to offend him at all.

"Okay, since it has been exposed, then you can go back to Shanghai." Wang Li said.
