Chapter 120: Frustration
Li Fengzhu's face finally had a little joy, she felt that the steps under her feet were no longer so heavy, and she was able to reach the door of the phone booth with two slight swings of her legs. However, when she was about to close the door with one hand and pick up the earpiece with the other, she realized that she was very overwhelmed. Yes, she hadn't eaten since she had eaten two bites of food at noon yesterday. So you can't close the door with just one hand, or even lift the phone with just one hand.
But when the son is anxious, how can he have the heart to worry about these small problems.
Li Fengzhu pressed his center of gravity down, pulled hard under his arm, and slammed the door slammed into it. Immediately after, holding the earpiece in both hands from the height of the navel, he lifted it to the ear with great difficulty, and said "hey" with a trembling roar.
A cold male voice quickly picked up on the other end: "I think you should have a phone at home." ”
The man's voice fluttered, and it didn't take much effort to make Li Fengzhu tremble in a panic from beginning to end. The owner of the voice doesn't seem to have changed, and it's about this person to be the Iron Fist's fixed phone representative.
Li Fengzhu was afraid that people would not be able to hear clearly, his lips were tightly pressed against the microphone, and the fluff on his mouth was even more conspicuous because of the fine beads of sweat dripping. She said, "I, that's what I'm thinking, you'......"
The kidnapper didn't have the patience to listen to her, so he cut off the conversation and said, "We've already read the newspaper." Who are those four powers? The things written are yin and yang, why are they still on the same page as your article? Let me tell you, don't play tricks with us! No matter what you think in your heart, if you write it, we must read it comfortably! What kind of national righteousness, let me ask you what is the nation? The people are starving to death, is there still a nation? If the nation is gone, what do you want to do with the righteousness?"
Li Fengzhu's hands holding the microphone trembled even more. She knew that her actions were extremely dangerous, and if the Iron Fist found out that she was doing this, she would definitely be in trouble. But she's done her best, and the newspaper isn't her private property, and that's the only way to give an account of the past on both fronts. With tears in her eyes, she pleaded earnestly for consideration: "Sir, you may have overestimated my power at the newspaper. I can't decide whether an article lives or dies, and I can't even make it to the newspaper if my own article can be published. Really, I didn't lie, I ......"
"Okay, don't be afraid of this, I've said it, our Iron Fist Regiment is all from a scholar's background, and we know a little bit about the rules of the newspaper. So, don't play tricks on us. By the way, we nodded and bowed, and carried our yang and yin. If we find out, you yourself are perfunctory to us, and you turn around and find other reporters to criticize us, just wait to collect your son's body!"
"No, no, no, I don't have ......" Li Fengzhu raised his finger and put it on his eyebrows straight, making an oath, as if people could really see it.
"Don't talk about that. Make this call, your performance is still positive overall, and secondly......"
Li Fengzhu's heart squeezed hard, and a noisy sound was sent into the ear drums, and all the essence and energy were gathered in one place and gathered on the top of his head.
"Mom, it's my ......"
The sound that crept into my ears along the telephone line seemed to be more than the last time I heard it. Li Fengzhu was happy in his heart for less than a second, and then his eyes were red again, thinking that it was his own delusion. How could such a weak child get better in the hands of a group of people of unknown origin?
"Son, how have you spent the past two days?" Li Fengzhu pursed her lips and couldn't help but burst into tears, that tone was completely deviating from the strength that a family pillar should have, and she even begged her son to give her comfort in turn, "Mom misses you day and night, Mom does it...... I dreamed ......" she swallowed the "nightmare" raw, lest it would be unlucky to say it.
Xiao Rufu opened his mouth, and the first thing that came out was a whimper: "I'm much better, Mom." The people here actually, actually, ......" followed, and he couldn't continue to talk anyway.
Li Fengzhu's mouth was always open, and he had prepared a lot of things to say, and he also had the urge to urge his son to hurry up and finish speaking. But her reason reminded her that this child had been away from the familiar environment for a long time, and there was no one to rely on, and the panic in her heart was by no means something that others could easily experience. If you interject to urge guidance, it will definitely have the opposite effect. Concerned about these problems, she had to close her mouth slightly, and then put the earpiece and her ear to the seam.
The people of the Iron Fist Regiment seemed to be a little impatient, and they said loudly: "Little brother, have you forgotten what you just told you?" You have to think that there is something that the brothers here do not live with you, and go and complain to your own mother. ”
These words seem to be very polite, but how can a child be so scared that he does not dare to finish the sentence if he is really polite?
Li Fengzhu was so anxious that he wrapped the phone cord around her fingers and wrists. Then I thought about it, this phone line is expensive, and it will be bad if it is broken. So, he shook and shook and shook the whitish and trembling hand out of it. A heartburn sensation hit her, making her feel like a mouthful of blood in her throat, unable to spit out or swallow.
Connected, a low sobbing of grievance came out of his nose. She raised her hand and fanned it almost like a wind, covering it tightly, lest this cry would be bad. With a hundred and twenty points of vigilance, she kept knocking on herself and saying that she could not be completely defeated by the emotional side of motherhood, and she had to make rational decisions like a father. The more she showed panic at this time, the more she cried fiercely, and the more she would be pinched to death. She had to be tough and bold, and she couldn't fuel the arrogance of the Iron Fist Regiment.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Rufu sobbed and said, "I, I...... I'm homesick, but I'm ...... Nothing bad anymore. The people here ......" Speaking of this, he burst into tears, "Not bad......"
It can be seen that he was threatened, and the Iron Fist Troupe must have forced him to give Li Fengzhu a reassurance.
Li Fengzhu tried his best to curb his crying, and asked, "Haven't you been beaten?" Although the voice walked out, his breath turned his head and suffocated into his chest.
There was a nasal voice of denial on the phone.
"What about starvation?"
The friction between the two of them had already exhausted the patience of the Iron Fist Regiment, and they grabbed the telephone and said loudly: "Three meals a day, he eats what we eat, not to say that it is good but it must be full." ”
The movement of snatching the phone made Li Fengzhu feel that a large piece of flesh had been stripped of her heart, she couldn't restrain herself anymore, and yelled at the other end regardless of it: "If you bear with it, my mother will save you soon......"
Pedestrians who happened to pass by the telephone booth felt a faint sound coming out of the pavilion like an earth-shattering sound, and couldn't help but take two steps back in fright.
There was a "yes" on the phone, and the voice was as cold as a ghost, mocking her incompetence as much as he could.
"Well, your son is alive and kicking, and it should always reassure you. So, it's time to get down to business. The procession smashed and looted Japanese goods stores, and specifically picked out shops run by Chinese, in the end to collect protection money! Because the patrol police in the concession area first and foremost helped the expatriates, Chinese businessmen sometimes had a tighter hand and had a hint of luck, and sometimes they did not necessarily complete the meaning of filial piety. The beasts knew this was the case, and kept an eye out for shops that weren't being guarded by the patrols. They don't have the slightest bottom line for being human, as long as they can get rich, they won't even let their own compatriots go! Mi Sili, you just tell the citizens of Tianjin that the Chinese who trade are very hard, and that is not enough. I hope you will show everyone the truth about making black money under the banner of patriotism, and let the citizens of Tianjin come to judge us. ”
However, did this righteous and upright member of the Iron Fist Regiment not dare to blame the concession side for not being responsible for security issues if they could not receive additional filial piety, but only dared to hate the faults of their own compatriots?
It is not even difficult for Li Fengzhu to guess that if the people of the Iron Fist Regiment did not buy and sell Japanese goods in the past, it is difficult to say that they also followed the parade into the store to smash and loot. The reverse is true. If those radical people who smash and loot and burn are affected by their compatriots when they start buying and selling Japanese goods, they will also try their best to pass on their losses to their compatriots who are relatively easy to bully.
However, Li Fengzhu only dared to hide these experiences in his heart, and never dared to ask them on the phone.
"Okay, I'll do it. Li Fengzhu nodded, trying his best to stand upright, although he was pleading in his heart, he had been cautiously grasping the balance of advance and retreat, and maintained an attitude of equal dialogue without humility or arrogance, "Whether you believe it or not, I promise this, not only for my only son to be held hostage by you, but also for my own conscience." I understand your thoughts, and you think that I am a more reliable person than other journalists, so I am willing to entrust the matter of justice to me. But you also think that asking people to do things is not as crisp and simple as forcing people to do things, so you will make this decision. But I feel that with my personality, I fully deserve more trust from you. As long as what you say is true, whether you have the handle in your hand or not, I will do my best to complete the investigation. ”
Li Fengzhu used his years of accumulated work experience to make a simple mental analysis of the Iron Fist Troupe, and then came up with a set of gentle language to try to clarify the reason. But in the past, she used to write it down with a pen, but now she has to use her mouth. It can be modified when writing with a pen, but there is no chance of reversing the dialogue. If you don't get the tone right, there will be a problem. She nervously clasped her hands to her chest, afraid that the beating heart would rush out.
