Chapter 53: Looking Back in the Rain
"Brother Chen, Keming drank too much, I'll send him back first, you go back with us first, I'll send him back, and then send you back?" The three of them came out of the "Chizuru" tavern.
Chen Miao and Fu Yewen helped the drunken Tang Keming into the car and turned back to Chen Miao.
"No need, I'll walk around alone, by the way, I will disperse the smell of alcohol, and when I am tired, I can call a rickshaw to go back." Chen Miao declined.
"You're all right, right?" Fu Yewen hesitated.
"What can be the problem, I'm like this, is there anyone who can't rob me?" Chen Miao smiled, "You send Section Chief Tang back quickly, in case he vomits in the car, it will be enough trouble for you." ”
"Hahaha, okay, then you should be careful on the road." Fu Yewen laughed evilly, saw Tang Keming in the back compartment, nodded, hurriedly got into the car, unscrewed the key, started the car and left.
Chen Miao is alone, his whereabouts are uncertain, but he is very safe, he was originally a military commander, and he is very clear about the number of assassinations and assassinations of military commanders.
Every assassination or assassination is designed and prepared, and with his current status and status, even if he is on the sanctions list of the "hoe rape" brigade of the military command, it will not be so fast, not to mention that the current operation of the Shanghai district of the military command is basically in a stage of stagnation.
Cao Lijun resigned, the new district mayor has not yet taken office, and Lao Zheng is temporarily presiding over the work, so he really doesn't have to worry too much about his safety.
Chen Miao put away the smile on his face, alone, carrying an old umbrella, walked along the road in the direction of Jing'an Temple, this meal, he gained a lot, at least the large and small interest factions inside No. 76 were a mess.
These two people are here to give him science tonight.
There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, except for the street lights on the main road, and the other roadside alleys were dark and you couldn't see anything.
At this time, in addition to the smoke houses, gambling stalls and fireworks entertainment venues that are open on the street, other businesses are all closed and locked, and in the depths of the alley, there is no ghost shadow.
There are still a small number of rickshaw drivers on the streets, but those who ride at night have to be extra careful, these people don't know where the cats sleep during the day, and they come out at night, maybe what they are doing for a living.
Especially in the bad land areas where the western part of Shanghai crosses the border to build roads, robberies and murders happen almost every day, and how many serious people will wander the streets in the middle of the night?
The thunderstorm that had been brewing all night was finally falling.
Fortunately, I was prepared when I went out and brought an umbrella, otherwise, this thunderstorm would have been a soup chicken.
didn't deliberately take that road, Chen Miao naturally passed by the gate of the Jing'an branch of Fumin Hospital.
He stopped, stopped and looked for a while, and could see that the building of the inpatient ward, Liang Xueqin's ward was still lit, because, he remembered very clearly, it was the best ward in the whole hospital, there was a pot of daffodils on the windowsill, and the window seemed to be ajar.
Click!
Suddenly there was a flash of lightning and thunder!
The electric dance of the silver snake instantly illuminates this world into daylight.
A figure of a chief appeared on the windowsill, it was Liang Xueqin, who should have noticed that it was thundering and raining outside, and came to close the window, but I don't know if it was telepathy or coincidence.
With the help of that lightning bolt just now.
Chen Miao, who was standing across the road, looked up, and actually saw each other with Liang Xueqin.
Chen Miao was startled for a moment, trembling all over, this was too evil, he didn't dare to stop anything, holding an umbrella, he turned his head and got into the rain, and disappeared at the end of the road in a blink of an eye.
Liang Xueqin's body also stiffened, thinking that she was hallucinating.
"Sister Xueqin, what's wrong with you?" Qiao'er looked at Liang Xueqin strangely, why did it take so much effort to close a window?
"No, it's okay, I just want such a heavy rain, Lao Cai doesn't know how to close the attic window." Liang Xueqin smiled sadly, it must have been an illusion just now, since he ruthlessly abandoned himself, how could he come back?
"Sister Xueqin, you can put a hundred hearts, when I came, I checked all the windows in the attic and closed them." Qiao'er said.
"And what about the flowers and plants I planted?" Looking at the daffodils on the windowsill that were beaten by the wind and rain, Liang Xueqin remembered the flowers and plants you were planting in the snow building.
"Let Lao Cai move to the yard, Sister Xueqin, you don't live listening to Xuelou anymore, I only take care of those flowers and plants, and I don't live in the attic, so I naturally moved down." Qiao'er said, "Sister Xueqin, what's wrong with you and the third brother, why do you always refuse to say when I ask you?" ”
"Qiao'er, when you grow up a little more, you'll understand, go to bed early, and you'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow." Liang Xueqin sighed secretly, Chen Miao gave her a small pistol for self-defense, she didn't dare to tell Qiao'er about this, the gun and bullets were hidden by her.
"Yes, Sister Xueqin, I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, will you listen to Xuelou or go to the third brother's ......" Qiao'er asked, obviously hiding a little caution.
Liang Xueqin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to Maggie's apartment first, where are all my things?" ”
"Okay, Sister Xueqin, if you go back to live now, I'm afraid you'll be laughed at." Qiao'er said, "The third brother is not bad there, he has everything, and the environment is very good." ”
"What's the joke, I heard that Xuelou is my home, I go back to live in my own house, who will laugh at me?" Liang Xueqin snorted coldly, "I've decided, I'll listen to Xuelou after I am discharged from the hospital tomorrow." ”
……
Back at the safe house on Maiyang Road, Chen Miao almost became half a soup chicken, threw away the umbrella, took off her shoes, and lay on the bed like this.
Nothing.
finally entered No. 76, and in the future, I am afraid that more people who know or don't know will poke at his backbone and scold him for being a traitor.
He had to get into the role as quickly as possible and get used to it right away.
The rain finally stopped in the second half of the night, Chen Miao also got up from the bed, and the wet clothes on his body were mostly dry, but he still got up and took off the wet clothes, there was no hot water, only a little rinse with cold water.
Change into a clean outfit.
When the power went out, the power supply in the concession was intermittent, and the kerosene lamp was lit, and under the lamp he recorded what he saw and heard during the half-day at No. 76, especially the impressions and character judgments of the people he saw.
This information will provide a reference for his actions in No. 76, which is more dangerous in the military command, Lin Shiqun is like a smiling tiger, Ding Mohan is more like a poisonous snake, no, he is a poisonous snake, his pair of thin triangular eyes are really like a snake.
Fu Yewen and Tang Keming, none of them are fools, and they will really be careful in the future, and they must not be negligent.
For the next two days, he decided to take a good rest in the safe house, which had been a constant rush and was quite tired.
No. 76 will not bite him anymore and will not relax, and it will be difficult to say about the military command, but only Zheng Jiayuan and Wu Xin know about his safe house.
As long as these two men don't say anything, no one knows his whereabouts.
If there is any action, Zheng Jiayuan will also notify himself as soon as possible.
"Mr. Fang, you are really elusive, either you haven't seen you for a few days, or you suddenly appeared, is this to scare people to death?" Early the next morning, Chen Miao went downstairs to wash in pants and vest, and when she met Xiaomei, she screamed in fright.
"Sister Xiaomei, I'm sorry, I won't be able to scream in the future, you can rest assured." Chen Miao hurriedly apologized.
"Mr. Fang, what do you do, you go out early and return late every day." Xiaomei asked with some curiosity, women, they are always curious.
"I'm doing things in a foreign trade company." Chen Miao smiled.
Xiaomei asked curiously: "Trading company, can you make money in foreign trade now?" ”
"The Japanese occupy Shanghai, and it is becoming more and more difficult to do business, so they can barely make ends meet."
"Mr. Fang, I think your image and temperament are still good, and it's quite good to be a foreman in our Paramount Ballroom." Xiaomei said enthusiastically, "That's much better than working in a trading company." ”
Chen Miao smiled: "No, Sister Xiaomei, the boss is kind to me, he is in trouble now, if I leave, it will be unkind." ”
"I didn't expect Mr. Fang to be a person who knows how to repay his kindness." Xiaomei's eyes lit up, if she couldn't catch the golden beetle son-in-law, it would be good to live with the surname Fang, and she could be regarded as having a dependence.
"Mr. Fang, are you free at night?" Xiaomei is also a woman who does it when she thinks of it, so she directly approached Chen Miao, who was brushing her teeth, and asked.
"Huh?" Chen Miao didn't know why she turned her head and almost sprayed Xiaomei with a mouthful of toothpaste foam.
"I hate it, people are asking if you are free at night, accompany me to a dance party, be my dance partner?" Xiaomei shook her hand and threw a wink at Chen Miao.
Chen Miao felt a chill, quickly rinsed his mouth, then wiped his mouth with a towel, and went upstairs directly.
"Hey, you haven't answered me yet?" Xiaomei chased to the staircase and asked.
"Not available!" Chen Miao didn't look back, and said directly.
"Cut, a man who has no interest...... " Xiaomei sneered, she didn't feel sad at all about Chen Miao's refusal.
What Xiaomei wants is completely different from what Liang Xueqin wants, and she and Liang Xueqin are completely two extremes.
……
Chen Miao stays in his attic all day except for eating, and in the days to come, he may have to live here temporarily for a while, and the family needs to be cleaned up.
After a busy day, I finally cleaned up a small empty attic.
The kitchen is communal, but he basically doesn't cook on the fire at home, and he doesn't need to boil the water, just carry the kettle and fetch it himself.
There were also some books and other items in Maggie's apartment, but he didn't need them now, and he couldn't run away from them, and as for the darkroom, he didn't need them now, and he needed to get the photographic equipment back, and he would definitely be able to use it in the future.
After all this, it was almost dark.
I touched my stomach, I was already hungry, closed the door, and when I came downstairs, I saw two familiar faces at the door looking inside.
"Han Laosi, Lu Wei, why are you two here?"
"Third brother, it turns out that you really live here, our captain said, let's come to report to you, saying that we will not belong to the guard team in the future." Han Laosi explained.
"Your captain, Zhang Guozhen?"
"Yes, that's what he said." Han Laosi nodded, "This afternoon, Miss Liang was discharged from the hospital, and our task was completed, and when we went back to resume our lives, the captain said that the two of us were removed from the guard brigade and asked us to come to you, the third brother." ”
"Deputy Director Lin asked me if I wanted to arrange two followers for me, I thought about it, inside No. 76, I knew the two of you, and I casually recommended you, but I didn't expect that Deputy Director Lin really asked you to come over with me." Chen Miao smiled.
"Ah Wei, I'll just say, it's time for us to run and meet a noble person like the third brother." Han Laosi's excited eyes lit up.
Chen Miao raised his hand: "I'm not your nobleman, if you don't do well and don't go your way, I'll still kick you back?" ”
"No, we will definitely listen to the words of the third brother, the third brother will let us go east, we will never dare to go west, go up the knife mountain, go down to the sea of fire, I Han Lao Si will never frown." Han Laosi said impassionedly, "What do you say, Brother Awei? ”
"I, the third brother will do whatever I want me to do." Lu Wei's answer was much more simple.
"Where do you two live, do you have any dinner?" Although it sounds very useful, Chen Miao, as a lurker, has doubts that have penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and he will not believe it easily, but he is still very moved on the surface.
"We used to live in the dormitory of the guard brigade, but now that we have been removed, we are afraid that we will not be able to go back to live in the dormitory." Han Laosi said pitifully.
Chen Miao shook her head helplessly, the internal management of No. 76 is really messy, just because Han Laosi and Lu Wei were asked to come by themselves, not from the guard brigade, they drove the two out, and they didn't even have a place to live, is this treating these two people as traitors? No wonder Lin Shiqun wants to formulate a set of strict discipline and rules and regulations to rectify No. 76.
"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner first." Chen Miao greeted.
