Chapter 123: There is a mystery inside

When Li Fengzhu thought about it, although he raised his two arms and took the clothes and pants, his upper body was far back, and the look of resistance was really impossible to hide.

"Gotcha. Yellow Fang snapped his fingers contentedly, and tugged at his waist as he spoke, "Even if the belt was lent to you for nothing." ”

Li Fengzhu was so smoked by the strong and complex smell in this room that he could barely stand up straight, and only by repeatedly muttering in his heart the words of his son and help his life could he let himself run downstairs safely.

After changing his outfit and grabbing a handful of shoulder-length hair, he felt that this was the easiest place to show his stuffing.

So he was ruthless, closed his eyes and wrinkled his facial features, took a deep breath, and made a very resolute appearance. He took out a handful of dirt from the mud and wiped it on his head, face, and hands. In the midday sun, stand for a while, and the moist soil will dry thoroughly.

Li Fengzhu took off his original shoes again, and walked barefoot on the ground for a few steps, and his toenails were embedded with yellow mud, becoming more and more like a beggar. I went to the side of the road and bought a pair of straw shoes to change into, and there was no place to wear them from top to bottom.

However, whether it is stopping a rickshaw or riding a tram, this kind of dress will arouse suspicion from others. I had to rely on my legs and walked all the way to Dongxinglou Restaurant.

Under the scorching sun, Li Fengzhu couldn't help but think that this piece of sunlight might not only shine on her, but also on the flesh and blood of her relatives. The street she walked through might have been where the Iron Fist Regiment was hiding. So close, yet so far away. If you don't pay attention to it, I'm afraid you will have to separate yin and yang. Thinking about it like this, the tears kept gushing down his face, and he blurred a new layer of dirt on the freshly dried mud spots. Raising his hand to rub it, he brought the stains on his clothes to his face. It wasn't intentional, but when she walked to Matsushima Street in the Japanese Concession, she was very able to confuse unsuspecting outsiders.

###

A cloth tent was erected at the door of Dongxing Building, and a banner was erected, and it really started a small business like selling steamed buns. I saw that the steaming drawer was still steaming hot, which was indeed interesting.

There were three shopkeepers standing under the tent, two of them doing a kind of tending to business, and the other wandering around the neighborhood from time to time. But whenever the person who couldn't get the money out of his pocket and got up the momentum to go forward to get the bun passed by, the shopkeeper would come forward and interrogate him, but the words asked were very simple, and almost everyone was easily let go. For example, if some people have a reputation for being poor in Jinmenwei, that person will look at them and say, "You are not the one, the one who owes Brother Dao a lot of money in Nanshi." Okay, I'll give you buns and eat them. ”

When Li Fengzhu stepped forward with a wincing face, the man looked up and down for a while before he muttered, "This brother...... It looks a little raw. ”

This question made Li Fengzhu stunned for a moment. Because he frowned and said with a wry smile: "I escaped from the gate just now." "She has not eaten three meals, and the weakness of a hungry man does not need to be disguised, it is natural.

The shopkeeper still asked, "Looks like you haven't eaten for a few days, right?"

Li Fengzhu nodded slightly, then followed the posture of yellow teeth, stretched out his tongue and wiped his lips. He stood on tiptoe again, stared straight at the steamer, and swallowed twice.

The shopkeeper chased after the little question and asked again: "How many days?"

Strange, does it matter?

Li Fengzhu let out a little force on his neck, let his head hang down, and gasped and replied, "How can you still have the strength to remember this...... There are not three days, there are two days. ”

The shopkeeper asked her if she had a name, and Li Fengzhu replied casually, "Second baby". The shopkeeper nodded, motioning for her to keep up, which was considered to have passed the first level of checking.

When the shopkeeper brought her to the steaming drawer, he whispered to the other two helpers: "Give the three who bring meat, let him eat more." ”

Li Fengzhu rolled his eyes and realized that this "good deed" was really good. It's rare to see alms that are full of money.

Thinking so, he took the three meat buns and took a big bite with satisfaction. When her mouth was stuffed and she couldn't chew, she wanted to open her mouth wide, smiled and thanked her, and a few bits of meat juice sprayed all the way to the shopkeeper's face, which made people dislike it. It is precisely because of this dislike that none of the three shopkeepers have any suspicion about all her next actions.

Li Fengzhu first swallowed the meat bun at the root of the wall, and then pulled the clumped hair under her eyes so that she could observe the surrounding situation.

The house number of Dongxing Building is No. 13, which is a brick and wood building facing south from the north. Looking up at the eaves in the distance, there are traditional patterns such as plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums. The window frames are clad in brass, which shows a bit of wealth in the sun. In Li Fengzhu's memory, this restaurant should have been open for two years, and it has been operating Chinese food, the scale is by no means small, and the business has always been very prosperous. Because it is a relatively pompous restaurant in the Japanese Concession, it is often patronized by important figures from China and Japan. But the owner has always been mysterious, and it is difficult for non-regular customers to see his true face. Now that I think about it, this is probably not a simple restaurant.

Just as I was thinking about it, people who were dressed in tatters and even had no clothes to wear came one after another to get the buns. Some of them seem to be acquainted with the shopkeepers, some of them look like old bastards, and some of them are coming back for the first time and are subject to some simple interrogation.

Li Fengzhu paid special attention to the few people who seemed to be coming back for the first time, and there were honest trembling people who just stood and rubbed their hands, and explained who he had introduced to 1510. In that person's meaning, he was probably afraid that receiving buns also required certain qualifications, so he had to try to make his origin as clear as possible. However, judging by the guy's reaction, he didn't really care who told him the news. All the shopkeepers were concerned about how hungry these people were, and seemed to be gauging how much strength they could sell.

Yellow Fang has said that coolies at the docks and factories are the main force of the protesters. When providing the clue of Dongxing Building, his words were "go straight to it". Analyzing this literally thoroughly, it seems to imply that once Li Fengzhu comes to the dock and the factory in disguise to squat, he will definitely be attracted to Dongxing Building in the end.

Well, presumably, such a guess can be made. Dongxinglou sent special people to the place where the laborers and coolies gathered, and spread the news that they were giving buns here. According to this line of thought, it makes sense that the shopkeeper does not delve into the roots of these people.

Li Fengzhu raised his eyes and looked at the sun, it was already noon, and more and more people were pouring in from all directions.

"Eat them all. The shopkeeper stood on a low bench and kept order loudly, only to see his hand pointing in a clockwise direction, "You have gone around the corner of our house, and there is a side door over there, and it is full of people like you." Go up there and wait, and you'll find something good going for you in a while. Remember, I was given a stand at the door, and I was not allowed to walk around, especially not to go deep into the courtyard. Our Dongxing Building is a place to entertain distinguished guests, but we can't get the dust on your body. ”

Li Fengzhu listened, of course he had to take the lead. I ran to the designated door and took a look, and sure enough, as the shopkeeper said, there were many poor people in short clothes, all of whom were gobbling up. It looks like a pitiful appearance that has been starving for days, and under this skinny appearance, at first glance it is not far from Li Fengzhu's figure. Therefore, no one noticed that a woman had come in.

It is a wide walkway that connects the main building on the street level with a smaller building in the courtyard. The walkway is lined with flowers and trees, and the middle is paved with pebbles and a glass canopy for shade. There is also a small bridge on the second floor, which directly connects to the small building.

Li Fengzhu stepped forward to stop a man who looked like a man, and cautiously bit down a bite of the bun and chewed it in his mouth but did not swallow it, in order to hide her thin voice: "This old brother, I'm new here, I don't understand anything." I haven't even received an errand, but he gave me three big buns, and they're still hot. ”

"Our owner is not only magnanimous, but also very extravagant. The guy laughed, there were still two soy sauce marks on the corners of his lips that had not been wiped clean, and he blinked mysteriously, "People, surnamed Jin!"

"Yo-" Li Fengzhu smiled reluctantly, and secretly exhaled a cool breath, "It's no wonder, a noble person like this is completely taking money for fun." As long as you are happy, you will be happy to lose as much as you want. ”

There are also two surnames for the surname Jin, those who do have the surname Jin and those who change their surname to Jin. With the proud attitude of the man, the owner of Dongxing Building seems to belong to the second type, that is, the characters like the old and the young. Under the situation that Pu Yi pulled the chess pieces of restoration and established the puppet Manchukuo, the water in Dongxinglou became deeper and deeper.

Li Fengzhu saw that everyone was standing next to the door, and he knew that the shopkeeper had strictly explained to every group of people, and they were never allowed to enter inside. However, what she is looking for is this kind of place that she is not allowed to go. So, I lightened my pace and moved inside little by little. When she was about to wear it all the way to the end of the road, no one had come up to stop her, which was really good for her. Her eyes looked at the pebbles beneath her feet, and it was clear that there were several gold-dyed stones that spelled out a chrysanthemum pattern. Looking up at the stained glass window of the small building, the center is also inlaid with golden chrysanthemums.

This is clearly a symbol of the Oriental Dynasty.

I thought of the situation at the gate, the appearance was completely Chinese, but when I walked inside, it changed its appearance. It's not a traitor's nest, and what is it?

Li Fengzhu secretly snorted in his heart, and quietly stuck to a window on the first floor, and through the stained glass, he saw that there was a Japanese-style room layout inside.
