Chapter 219: Mulberry picking can encounter unpeaceful things
When she was about to arrive at the riverside wharf, Coriander gradually realized Fuji Yantang's intention to borrow her carriage instead of a motor vehicle, and he was not maliciously tricking her.
It is said that the riverside wharf is the land under the name of Rong Ji, and the Rong family originally planned to build a manor here, but the construction was delayed. The first reason is that it is remote, and the second reason is that it is a good summer resort in the summer, but in the winter it can be very humid and cold, which is unbearable. So the place was deserted.
Due to the lack of development in the vicinity, the road leading to the riverbank pier is extremely uneven, full of potholes and bumps. The road was bumpy, and the coriander butt sitting in the carriage was almost four-petaled, but I was glad in my heart that I didn't insist on driving a mobile truck here. Once the wheels are stuck in the mud puddle, even if she has brute strength, she will never be able to pull out a car that has fallen into the pit by herself, and she is afraid that she will be trapped here today.
The carriage is different, the carriage is light and labor-saving, even if the wheels are stuck in the mud puddle, the coriander drives the horse forward and pulls the wheels out very easily, and if it is not good, she will get out of the carriage and lift it lightly, she can get through this small difficulty.
Recalling the last time the Rongji Chamber of Commerce snatched a batch of goods from the Qinglong Chamber of Commerce at the Jiang'an Wharf, I was afraid that the Rongji Chamber of Commerce had spent a lot of effort to transport away the goods. At that time, she and Coriander left in Fujihikodo's car, and she was only worried about Coriander's injury, but she didn't pay attention to how difficult this road was. However, at that time, she seemed to have complained to Fujihiko that she couldn't drive because the car was too bumpy for fear of affecting Coriander's injury......
Fujihiko Tang borrowed her to call the carriage for her sake, how could she feel that he was full of malice at that time?
Eh, it looks like she misunderstood him.
Tsk, why is this man so unfrank!
Given that her two silkworm Gu used to eat meat, Cilantro wasn't sure if the larvae hatched from those silkworm eggs were also to their parents' taste, and she was worried that what happened to those two silkworm Gu would happen to those larvae as well-
But if you think about it, Cilantro thinks it's unlikely. The reason why there are those two silkworm Gu is because she didn't have time to feed the silkworms due to some special circumstances before, so they fought and gnawed each other in the bamboo tube in order to survive, and finally left the two big insects, one male and one female. Probably due to the killing of red eyes. The two silkworm Gu are also different from ordinary silkworms in form, and the biggest difference is reflected in the color of the silkworm body.
Colorful Silkworm Gu - This is the name that Coriander gave to those two silkworm Gu. Don't ask her why she gave the two silkworms the same name...... It can be seen from the names given to her and her brother by her father and mother that the weakness of the name is one of the inheritances of their Lin family. If you have to distinguish those two silkworm Gu, that one is called the Colorful Silkworm Gu Gong. The other is called the Colorful Silkworm Gu Mother, which just reflects their gender differences.
To get back to the point, Coriander felt that as long as the silkworm babies were fed, there would be no more cannibalism on them. No matter how much has changed in them. It is the nature of silkworms to eat mulberry. Send mulberry leaves to their mouths and they won't stop eating.
Plunging into the forest, Coriander counted the time, climbed to the mulberry tree, took out the cloth bag prepared in advance, filled the bag with the mulberry leaves he had picked, and then jumped off the tree and poured the mulberry leaves into the carriage. She wants to pick as many mulberry leaves as possible, not afraid that they will be broken after a long time when they are brought back, she can dry the excess mulberry leaves, grind them into powder and make artificial feed and hoard them, so that when it is cold, there is no need to worry about having nothing to feed the silkworms.
Coriander moves quickly. It is also strange that the mulberry trees in the wild forest grow much longer, and the mulberry leaves on the trees grow so luxuriantly and densely that within an hour, she filled a cart with green mulberry leaves.
Seeing that there was plenty of time, she thought that she might as well pick a little more mulberry leaves, and she didn't have to think about anything else for the time being, as long as she could rush back to Baiyuemen before going to work.
About half an hour later, there was unusual movement in the wild forest.
First, two gunshots suddenly rang out, and I saw screams fluttering his wings and flying in a hurry, and then suddenly a middle-aged man stumbled from the depths of the forest. Panting breathlessly, he stopped a short distance away, relieved himself a little, and then noticed the carriage of coriander. He was stunned for a moment, and looked around blankly. Then he looked up at the tree and met the gaze of the coriander.
The moment he saw the coriander, the middle-aged man panicked, and when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer behind him, he was even more frightened, and he jumped into the carriage of the coriander in a panic. I used that cart of mulberry leaves to bury myself strongly.
Coriander came back to her senses, and then saw a group of people chased out from the depths of the woods, led by an old acquaintance of hers.
"Yo, Inspector Yan, what kind of wind blew you to this deserted place?"
Yan Song was followed by four or five patrols, and when he saw the carriage at a glance, he wondered why there was no one around, until he heard Coriander speak, he didn't see a person in a tree, but he never thought it would be her......
Seeing the coriander, Yan Song's originally condensed expression showed a trace of cracking. It's just that this girl is so bold, she dares to talk to him like this condescendingly! He gasped and muttered in a disgruntled tone, "I should have asked you this sentence!" What are you doing here? ”
Even on the uneven fork of the tree, the coriander is still in a standing posture, she carries a bulging cloth bag in her left hand, grabs a large number of mulberry leaves in her right hand, and throws the mulberry leaves into the cloth bag after making a clear gesture to the Yan pine under the tree.
Yan Song found out that the mulberry trees around here were basically "poisoned" by coriander, and the leaves on the trees became sparse.
This girl is simply a locust, once it floods, it will surely become a plague wherever she passes.
Yan Song mourned for a few seconds for the mulberry trees that were "poisoned" by coriander, and asked randomly: "Why are you picking so many leaves?"
As soon as he finished asking, a patrol officer behind him reminded him, "Boss, it's important to get down to business." ”
Yan Song's face tightened, and he returned to Fang Cai's ruthless appearance of chasing souls and asking for his life. His aggressive gaze shot at the coriander on the tree, and his voice seemed to have a thick layer of ice in it, "Did you see anyone passing by here just now?" ”
"Yes," Cilantro cooperated, "In addition to you, there was another person just now, and it is estimated that he has already run out of the woods while we are talking." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man who was hiding in her carriage was not injured, and there was no blood left along the way.
Yan Song was skeptical, and noticed that the size of the carriage under the tree was more than enough to hide one person. He walked towards the carriage, and before he could reach it, he saw a cart full of mulberry leaves. He couldn't help but glance up at the coriander, and was sure that this girl had no other purpose in coming here. I came just to pick mulberry leaves.
Seeing him walking towards the carriage, Cilantro was nervous, but pretended not to care. The patrolmen were afraid that something would jump out of the carriage and be detrimental to their inspector, so they pulled out their guns one after another to cover for Yan Song.
Almost all of them agreed. The man they were chasing was hiding in Coriander's carriage!
The red-brown horse was very human, staring at the strangers who were approaching him step by step, perhaps sensing the danger emanating from the patrols, and the clattering sound of its front hooves against the ground, and the neighing of its mouth and nose that resembled warnings.
Coriander seemed to casually ask, "Who are you going to arrest?"
Yan Song looked at her with a smile. His eyes were full of wariness, "How do you know we're arresting someone?" ”
Cilantro chuckled, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Isn't that your job of patrolling?" Otherwise, what are you doing in the wilderness? Spring outing? Picnic? I didn't see it, but your Inspector Yan is really interested! ”
I don't know if it was because he was sneered at by the pretending to be relaxed, or because he was shocked by the humane red horse, Yan Song seemed to have lost interest in the carriage, and turned to look at the patrols behind him, "You go chase first." ”
The patrolmen obviously didn't expect this to be the result, and after looking at each other for a while, they all looked at Yan Song and the carriage, and after touching his two cold gazes, they all shrunk their necks. I had to obey the order and leave the place quickly.
Seeing them running away, Yan Song looked at coriander and said with a calm face: "I'll tell you now who we are arresting, we are arresting a revolutionary party, and I advise you not to have anything to do with such a person."
After speaking, he glanced at the carriage, intentionally or unintentionally.
Coriander pretended not to see the hint in Yan Song's eyes, and only thought that Yan Song was joking, "I'm timid, don't scare me, this wilderness." How could there be a revolutionary party? ”
Yan Song looked at the coriander, his eyes were full of deep meaning, and he seemed to be thinking deeply, and only after a while did he say, "There is an abandoned warehouse near the Jiang'an Wharf. We found out that the barn was one of the secret strongholds of the revolutionary party. We were careful in this arrest operation, and we don't know how they got the news, but when we arrived at the barn, we found that someone had cleaned up the aftermath and burned all the materials inside. When we arrived, there was still room for heat in the brazier, and I think the man must have not run far. We followed the man's trail and ran here......"
Yan Song explained so clearly, Coriander still didn't seem to believe it, "This is the territory of the Rongji Chamber of Commerce, if there is a nest of revolutionary parties hidden in this territory, wouldn't all the people in the Rongji Chamber of Commerce be suspected of being revolutionaries?" It's fun—"
Once such news spreads, I am afraid that it will be explosive news again.
"You can't say that," Yan Song said, "Jiang'an Wharf is a good boundary under the name of the Rong Ji Chamber of Commerce, but it has been abandoned for a long time. Those revolutionaries are the all-pervasive rats, they burrow into that abandoned barn, and only the people of the Rong Kee Chamber of Commerce do not know. Last time, we had a large-scale operation, which was also to arrest the revolutionary party, in the Niangniang Temple on Laomancheng Street......"
Without waiting for Yan Song's words to fall, Coriander asked in a tight voice, "Where did you say?"
The Niangniang Temple on Old Mancheng Street?
That's Lin Sihai, that is, near the address she and Coriander's father left for them!
How so......
Thinking that the coriander had just arrived, he was not very familiar with the place in Shanghai, so Yan Song repeated the place name again, "The Niangniang Temple of Lao Mancheng Street -- if you want to say that Lao Mancheng Street is in the south of the border, it is next to the French lease, and most of the French leases live in foreigners, and to go to the southern jurisdiction, the French lease is a necessary place, according to the theory you just had, doesn't it mean that those foreigners are allowed to go to the revolutionary party?" They foreigners are also suspected of having trouble with the revolutionary party? ”
Coriander looked at her weakly, "You are a patrolman, and it is a foreigner who pays you a salary." You actually did not hesitate to pull your food and clothing parents into the water in order to excuse the Rong Ji Chamber of Commerce, what benefits did the Rong Ji Chamber of Commerce give you? ”
Yan Song hurriedly defended, "I'm not trying to excuse the Rongji Chamber of Commerce, I'm just talking about the facts......"
"Okay, okay," Cilantro waved her hand impatiently, indicating that she didn't want to listen to him anymore, "hurry up and get down to business, don't delay my mulberry picking." ”
Yan Song glanced at the carriage one last time, then turned his face and waved his hand at the coriander on the tree, "Then you are busy, I'll go first-"
Coriander was sent away by several patrols before he caught up outside the woods.
One of them didn't understand, "Boss, that revolutionary party must be hiding in that carriage, why didn't you search for it just now?" ”
Yan Song couldn't see his eagerness for quick success, but he didn't show it on his face when he was unhappy, "After you left, I searched it, and the car was full of mulberry leaves, and I didn't see anyone." ”
Someone questioned, "Boss, why didn't you ...... when we were there just now?"
The person who spoke obviously didn't believe what Yan Song had just said.
Yan Song looked at their suspicious faces, and immediately cried out in pain, "Are you suspicious of me?" Seeing that they were cowering one by one, and hating iron and steel, he pointed at them one by one and scolded them loudly, "Look at you one by one, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling and smoking all day long, and you can't even shoot a gun steadily, if you fight accurately, can you let the revolutionary party escape." That revolutionary has a gun on him, and if he had been hiding in that carriage and suddenly jumped out, you would have to answer for your lives! It's okay to die alone, but if one of you dies, I'll have to report to the top, do you think it's easy to be a detective? I'm good for you, and you suspect me -- but you, didn't I just tell you to chase after me, and why did you stop when you got out of the woods? ”
Yan Song made a generous statement, not only brushing away all suspicions, but also putting the blame for not being able to catch up with the revolutionary party. blamed him for performing too well, and those patrols were convinced.
Some of the patrols looked stupid, and some looked annoyed, and they blew their heads one by one to apologize to Yan Song.
Then someone cautiously asked if the revolutionary party was still chasing after him.
Coriander said that it had been delayed for so long, and people had already run away without a trace, and they were chasing a fart.
He lost his temper again before he led the people out of here.
……
Coriander first threw a large bag of mulberry leaves under the tree, then jumped down from the tree, picked up the cloth bag and walked to the carriage, and poured the bag of mulberry leaves into the cart.
As soon as she turned around and turned her back to the carriage, she was pressed against her vest by something hard that she could feel was a pistol.
Coriander tugged at the corners of her mouth, sneered self-deprecatingly, glanced behind her slightly, and there was no trace of fear in her faint voice, "You don't need to be so cruel to your own daughter, Dad." ”
The revolutionary party that Yan Song and the others want to arrest is none other than Lin Sihai.
The father of coriander and coriander. (To be continued.) )
