Zhenjiang, 1936.

The agents of the Lixing Society arrested the leaders of the Zhenjiang Workers' and Peasants' Party.

Meng Shaoyuan had the audacity to let go of the Workers' and Peasants' Party without permission.

"Put the gun down, who said we were spies? We are smugglers and thieves. You're also a Jiangyang thief, right? Peers, peers. Farewell, farewell! ”

That's what he said that day, and he told the man:

"When they went to the west, they all went to the east. By the way, there's no need to thank you, you owe me a bowl of noodles, next time you have the opportunity to meet again, remember to pay it back to me! ”

Meng Shaoyuan was still a small person at the time, and if he released someone without permission, he would lose his head anytime and anywhere.

After so long, he had long forgotten about it. But he never dreamed that he would encounter it again today:

Guo Junian!

……

"That time in Zhenjiang, I owe you a bowl of noodles, and I will return it to you today."

In the noodle restaurant, Guo Junian really ordered two bowls of noodles.

"Ah, kidding, you're serious." Meng Shaoyuan looked a little absent-minded.

Brother, I didn't see you, and I don't know you.

Or, I'll ask for this and act as if nothing happened?

"You helped me twice, once in Zhenjiang and once in Shanghai." Guo Junian smiled and said, "I just heard those patrols call you 'Boss Meng', if I guessed correctly, you are the famous Meng Shaoyuan, right?" ”

It's bitter, I know the name, and if it gets out, it will be troublesome.

"Yes." Meng Shaoyuan perked up his spirits: "As for me, I am from the military commander, and you are from that side." At present, the two parties are cooperating to resist Japan together, and we are on one front, right...... Homosexuals...... I admire your party very much, and I was able to help you twice, that's also a coincidence, I don't know what you came to Shanghai for this time? ”

Although, in the "Group of Ten" before the Lixing Society, they called each other "comrade", but saying this title from the mouth of a famous big spy still made Guo Junian feel a little weird:

"Mr. Meng helped me twice, and I am very grateful. You are right, in the face of the Japanese invaders, the two parties will abandon the contradictions, work together to resist Japan, and have no distinction between each other, and I will have nothing to hide from you. After that escape from Zhenjiang, I found an organization and accepted a new position and task. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our party also threw itself into the battlefield in full swing.

As you know, our living conditions are very difficult, and there is no way to compare them with our brothers in the national army. Especially on the battlefield, we have a large number of wounded, who often cannot be treated in time because of the lack of medicine. This time, one of our leaders was also injured and was in urgent need of medicine, so I came to Shanghai to buy it on the orders of the organization. ”

"Leave it to me."

Meng Shao blurted out without thinking about it: "Mr. Guo, I'll arrange for you to stay at the International Hotel, which is much safer." As for you, wait in the hotel for two days, and I'll send you a batch of medicines. ”

Uh, so refreshing?

You know, it's not so easy to buy medicines in Shanghai, especially especially the most precious ones, which can only be bought through the black market.

And this is easy to be deceived, and the second is that the price is outrageous.

Guo Junian finally got some medicine, but he was arrested by patrols. Although the others were released, the medicine was detained by the patrol room.

Originally, after knowing that the young man in front of him was Meng Shaoyuan, who was on the beach, Guo Junian wanted to test whether he could ask him to think of a way.

After all, this man is roaming around Shanghai Beach, and there seems to be nothing he can't do. Moreover, the news of the Daguang Cinema has long been spread, and in Guo Junian's opinion, although this person is a big spy, he is still very patriotic.

But now that he hasn't spoken, Meng Shaoyuan has already taken the initiative to agree to help?

"Mr. Guo, don't worry, there are many waves, ah, sulfonamide is very effective in treating injuries, I will prepare more for you, but unfortunately there is no penicillin......"

"What is penicillin?"

Guo Junian was stunned when he heard this name.

Meng Shaoyuan found that he had lost his words, so he quickly covered it up and said: "A particularly precious medicine, I really can't get ......"

It's no wonder that Guo Junian has never heard of it, although "penicillin" became famous later, but it has not yet been officially invented.

Penicillin, also known as "penicillin", was discovered in 1928 by Fleming, a professor at the University of London.

Fleming was fortunate to discover Penicillium, but also unlucky, and after more than a decade of research, he has not been able to mass-produce Penicillium. According to the method he experimented, one liter of culture medium could only extract 2 units of penicillin, which could not achieve practical results at all.

Professors Florey and Chin of the University of Oxford discovered Fleming's paper, and they were intrigued and began to study the properties and chemical structure of Penicillium.

After trial and error, Florey extracted the antibiotic penicillin, also known as penicillin, from Penicillium.

But it wasn't until 1941 that the first penicillin test was successful.

Now, this miracle drug is still in the laboratory.

"Mr. Meng, we are already very grateful to you." Guo Junian said seriously: "What you did for us, we will never forget." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Meng Shaoyuan simply did it to the end: "Mr. Guo, after the medicine is ready, I will be responsible for sending you out of Shanghai, are you going?" ”

"Subei."

"Easy to do, easy to do. The conditions of your army are difficult, it is not easy, I will prepare another sum of money for you, not much, 30,000 yuan, to express your heart. ”

This spy is really funny. Not only medicine, but also money?

Guo Junian was a little unsure of his true intentions: "Mr. Meng is generous and righteous, 30,000 yuan may not be much in Mr. Meng's opinion, but it is a huge amount of money for us." I don't know if Meng Shaoyuan is so helpful, is there any condition? ”

"No conditions, all for free. If I had to say yes, I'd like to ask Mr. Guo for a favor. ”

"But it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't violate organizational discipline, I can agree to anything within my boundaries."

Meng Shaoyuan pondered for a moment: "In the future, I said that if my brother falls into the hands of your party, if there is no heinous crime, please also ask Mr. Guo to see a relationship today and give them a way to live." ”

Guo Junian was even more confused.

What does that mean?

"Haha, nonsense, Mr. Guo must not take it to heart." Meng Shaoyuan immediately said with a smile: "We don't care what happens in the future, in short, the enemy is now, unite as one, and fight against Japan together." I am a person who is greedy for money and lustful, although it is incompatible with your party's ideas, but at least one thing is the same, I am a Chinese. ”

"Okay, Mr. Meng said it well."

In the noodle restaurant, Guo Junian did not dare to be too loud, picked up the noodle bowl and whispered: "I am a Chinese, we are all Chinese, there is no wine here, I will replace the wine with noodle soup, and I will toast Mr. Meng with a bowl." ”

"Please, please."

Meng Shaoyuan raised the noodle bowl and took a sip of the noodle soup.

He felt that it was not easy for him to think not only of himself, but also of his brothers.

I'm tired.

He didn't think much about partisanship at all.

The only thing he had to think about was how to continue the fight with the Japanese.

Others?

Whatever it is!

……

"Director Meng, this is a big deal."

Wu Jingyi frowned: "In case someone finds out......"

"My sister." Meng Shaoyuan's voice was very low: "If you don't say it, I don't say it, who will know?" Multiple friends and multiple paths, you can always understand this truth, right? Maybe you will ask for someone in the future? ”

"You are bold, and Mr. Dai spoils you, of course you don't care."

Wu Jingyi sighed: "Cheng, anyway, what you say, I can do it." Medicines and money are delivered to international hotels...... In the future, if the above knows, I will be the scapegoat. ”

"It's all for the war of resistance, and it's not easy." Meng Shaoyuan touched his nose: "Hey, I said Assistant Wu, in the future, let me make an analogy, if the Anti-Japanese War is won, what are you going to do?" ”

"What else can I do?" Wu Jingyi smiled bitterly: "What I want to do most is to go to Hong Kong and be with my husband and children." But you know, from the first day we did this business, there was no way to leave. ”

As long as it is on this day, the person who is born as a military commander is a ghost, and the ghost of a military commander dies.

There are no exceptions.

"Don't worry, when the day comes, I'll help you find a way." Meng Shaoyuan actually comforted him like this: "You said it, I'm bold and don't care." When the time comes, I will send you to Hong Kong, you will be reconciled with your husband and children, you can settle in Hong Kong if you want, you can go to the United States and Europe, in short, leave it to me. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Wu Jingyi's eyes.

She doesn't want to be a spy at all, she just wants to be a good wife.

If Young Master Meng can really fulfill his promise and be happy with Mr. and the child, then there will be no regrets.

"I'm your head." Meng Shaoyuan took out a cigarette, but he didn't light it, he played with it in his hand, and said after a while: "I don't know if I'm a good leader, but I think that since we people are destined to stay together, as long as you can live until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, I have to make arrangements for you, unless you don't want to listen to me." ”

Wu Jingyi frowned.

Young Master Meng is a little strange today, why is there something in his words?

"It's done, that's for later." Meng Shaoyuan finally lit a cigarette: "A few traitors, you arranged for me to keep an eye on it." Old Tang is waiting for me to ask for money, this guy is more ruthless than Mr. Dai, and if he can't see the money, he will never leave. Fuck, is it really going to make me dig out of my pocket? Everyone treats me as the God of Wealth? Those traitors don't pay for it, should I pay for it? ”

Wu Jingyi smiled.

This is the young master Meng she is familiar with, she only allows herself to make cheap, who cares if others suffer losses or not?

Originally, she still had some doubts, but now she has been relieved, such a person would have been shot several times if she stayed in another place.

"By the way, there is one more thing, let's see if we can get the Japanese army's operational deployment and offensive route to Xuzhou."

"I know, tell the above, I'll let someone handle it immediately."

Meng Shaoyuan tried his best in his mind to recall everything related to the ongoing Battle of Xuzhou.
