Ouyang Xiaohua didn't wait long, the barber shop opened, and the clerks began to come to work one after another. Ouyang Xiaohua soon spotted the figure of the barber named Applejack, but fortunately, there were no other colleagues around Applejack at this time.

She quickly gets up and rushes to Applejack's side when he is still some distance from the barbershop. "Applejack! Applejack! Ouyang Xiaohua shouted in a low voice.

Applejack was walking towards the door of the store where he went to work every day, when he heard a somewhat familiar voice calling him, and he looked in the direction of the sound with some confusion, but saw the face of a middle-aged woman in shabby, unfamiliar clothes.

Although Ajie was puzzled, she still subconsciously approached Ouyang Xiaohua. Ouyang Xiaohua looked around vigilantly, and saw that no one noticed her and Ajie, so she walked in the opposite direction of the barbershop and whispered, "Ajie, come here, I have something to look for you!" ”

Applejack saw the middle-aged woman in front of her, who she didn't know, as if she was very familiar with him, and her confusion was even more, and she hesitated for a while, thinking that it was still early before she went to work anyway, so she might as well follow and see what was going on!

Ouyang Xiaohua only asked herself and Applejack to stay away from the barbershop a little bit, so as not to be noticed by the others in the shop. Soon, she slowed down and whispered to Applejack, who was following her, "Applejack, I'm Mrs. Law!" ”

Ajie was startled when she heard Ouyang Xiaohua's words, because she was surprised, she didn't stop her steps for a while, and almost bumped into Ouyang Xiaohua, who had stopped.

"You, you. You're Mrs. Law! He stammered a little, surprised, and his voice was unconsciously a little high.

"Shhhh Be quiet! I'm in some trouble, I wonder if you can help me! Ouyang Xiaohua looked around vigilantly, and saw that although Ajie's voice was a little louder just now, it didn't attract the attention of others, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and explained her purpose.

Applejack looked at the street today and saw that there were obviously many more gendarmerie puppets on the street than in the past, and she seemed to realize something. He didn't ask anything more, but said, "Come with me!" Then he turned and left the street. Walk briskly down a small alley.

Applejack arranged Ouyang Xiaohua at his house. I went to work at the barbershop. Ouyang Xiaohua waited for him to leave, and began to carefully look at the old-style bungalow with a yard, but he didn't expect that the place where Ajie lived was quite large, and there were four rooms in the bungalow. There is also a not small kitchen. And in the yard. There are a lot of flowers and plants planted. Although they are all very ordinary flowers and plants, they bring a piece of life to this small courtyard.

Ouyang Xiaohua looked at the vibrant flowers and plants a little distractedly, and was at a loss as to whether she could avoid this disaster. Then I thought of the little girl who had only been in Wuhan for less than two months. is so young, and she is not familiar with Wuhan, not to mention that she is the same as her, she has no reliable friends, I don't know where she is hiding now? So small, if ...... She forced herself not to think about the worst aspects, but after all, she had a feeling of pity in her heart.

Among the four people, the lightest is Aunt Zhang, she usually finds deals with people who live at the lowest level, in the past few years in Wuhan, she still has a few good old sisters, so after listening to Rosen's advice, she immediately packed up her things and went to the best old sister's house, saying that she was quit by the boss, and she had nowhere to go, and wanted to stay at the old sister's house for a few days. Aunt Zhang's old sister is also a warm-hearted person, so naturally she took her in without saying a word.

It stands to reason that among the four people, the safest person should be Aunt Zhang. After all, in the eyes of the gendarmes, Rosen is the biggest suspect, and his wife and daughter can be hostages after they are caught. And Aunt Zhang is just a small shrimp by the way. After all, working as a maid in the suspect's house, he must know something that others don't know.

But it was Aunt Zhang who had the first accident. When the gendarmes and pseudo-police began to search door to door with pictures, Aunt Zhang's old sister didn't think much about it, although all kinds of gossip in Wuhan City flew around during this time, and martial law was imposed on the street, but she never connected this matter with Aunt Zhang.

Of course, the main thing is that no one in their family is literate, otherwise, the pictures posted everywhere, although they are not very similar to themselves, but their descriptions of each person's identity and background, if they are familiar people, will be very clear when they hear it.

The family thought that this big move by the gendarmes and puppet police was to arrest a few communists, and Aunt Zhang, who lived in their house, had known each other for several years, so where did she look like a little communist? And although Aunt Zhang understands it in her heart, she can't declare it. Of course, the main thing is that now there are searches everywhere, there is no place to hide, and the main thing is that she doesn't want to involve her sisters who have been friends for several years.

On this day, the military police searched the old sister's house where Aunt Zhang was staying, and when she heard the strong knocking and shouting of the military police, she quietly left through the back door without hesitation.

But Aunt Zhang left here, but she didn't know where she could go? At this time, whoever goes to the house will implicate those innocent fellow sisters, where can the kind-hearted Aunt Zhang bear to do such a thing? She dodged through the alleys, and at this time she had a mortal heart in her heart!

Without a legal identity, it is difficult to hide in Wuhan at this time. Although Aunt Zhang has never read a book and is relatively straightforward, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know the importance of this. As she had expected, she had not yet escaped from the slum when she was confronted by a search of the gendarmes.

When Aunt Zhang saw it, she turned around and ran away without the slightest hesitation, and the military police behind her were just shouting at Aunt Zhang to stop being investigated, but when they saw that the other party didn't listen at all, but ran faster and faster, they became suspicious. Everyone was overjoyed and thought that the opportunity for meritorious service was right in front of them, so they naturally chased after Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang looked at the gendarmes and pseudo-policemen chasing closer and closer behind her, and her heart was crossed, anyway, she was the only one left in her family, and it was better to be arrested and tortured by these people, it was better to die and reunite with her man and children. The ruthless Aunt Zhang no longer ran down the alley, but rushed towards a wall in front of her, and when those constitutional soldiers came to Aunt Zhang's side, they only got a bloody body with a bloody head.

Although the group of gendarmes only got a corpse in the end, they did not give up, and brought the corpse back to the gendarmerie department, and after checking the portrait, they unanimously determined that it was the maid surnamed Zhang who was the servant of the Luo Sen's family, a puppet military and political officer. At this time, the supreme leader of the gendarmerie department issued a death order, digging three feet into the ground in Wuhan to find out and arrest Rosen and his wife and daughter.

At the same time, a general order and notice were issued, and anyone who harbored Lawson, Ouyang Xiaohua and Luo Xigui was to be seated according to the armor protection system. Rosen had long considered this trick of the gendarmes, and the second identity he had prepared for himself was perfect and could withstand the investigation of those gendarmes.

As for Xigui, because of the difference in thoughts, he did not hide in Zhou Limin, but hid in his own small space, so he naturally sat back and relaxed. She had no idea of the ups and downs and tension outside, and only buried herself in digging her ground and planting her wheat and fruits every day. Those fruit seeds were collected during the time I came to Wuhan, but unfortunately I didn't have time to plant them before.

At this time, only Ouyang Xiaohua was panicked, and Ajie, the barber, would tell her about the situation outside every day when she came back, and she didn't dare to go out to investigate. Although Applejack didn't ask her former client, Mrs. Luo, what trouble she had caused, he could clearly see that Mrs. Luo, dressed as an old farmer, was trembling all over her every time he told her about the situation outside.

What's more, the overwhelming circulars and circulars outside also make Applejack feel that Mrs. Law's trouble is not ordinary. On this day, when he came back from work, he had just finished telling Mrs. Luo's maid that she had crashed to death on the wall when she was on the run, when he saw Mrs. Luo screaming and fainting to the ground with a pale face.

Ouyang Xiaohua felt that she was now a lamb to be slaughtered, especially when she heard that Aunt Zhang was chased by the military police and hit her head against the wall, she only felt deep despair in her heart. At the same time, she also knows that she can no longer hide in Applejack's place, and that according to the speed of the gendarmes' search, the area where Applejack lives will soon be searched.

Ouyang Xiaohua thought about the armor protection system that the Japanese came up with, her heart was a little chilling, one family harbored bandits, and ten families nearby sat together, although she also had selfish thoughts, she didn't want to die and wanted to live, but she still couldn't let so many people lose their lives for her.

Although Applejack didn't say anything to let her go, she could see that the young man in front of her was getting more and more anxious, maybe it was the uneasiness she was causing him to hide here! From what he came back to tell her every day, this clever lad must have guessed something!

I think that back then, she was full of enthusiasm and her classmates to find the Communist Party in the rear, and joined that team with enthusiasm, only to drive out the Japanese soldiers who invaded the territory of China. He swore an oath in front of the leaders that if he was arrested, he would not betray the organization or the country even if he was willing to sacrifice.

When did this heart for the country slowly change? Ouyang Xiaohua smiled bitterly a few times, it's a big deal, learn from Aunt Zhang, and then hit the wall and die, so that at least she can maintain a clean reputation.

Ouyang Xiaohua finally made up her mind for the worst, she raised her head, looked at Ajie who had been observing her, and said with a smile: "Ajie, I'm bothering you this time!" I've decided to leave tonight! ”

"Mrs. Luo, where can you go? Now there are gendarmes everywhere outside! Applejack breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and although he knew that the woman in front of him would bring disaster not only to him but also to his neighbors if he stayed in his house, he could not open his mouth to tell the other party to leave when he thought of his parents and sister who died at the hands of the Japanese soldiers. Now that the other party has opened his own mouth, it can be regarded as the end of his thoughts in the past few days.

"Find a place to hide first, and then find a way to see if you can get out of the city!" Ouyang Xiaohua's face, which was like an old woman, flashed with a hint of absoluteness. (To be continued......)
