Chapter 136: Decline Mina's help
Xigui didn't answer Xie Meina's words, but just looked at her with a look that you understand, and Xie Meina immediately smiled in understanding when she saw Xigui's eyes.
Soon, Xie Meina took Xigui to an ordinary café with an open air, the most important thing is that Xigui's clothes are too shabby, if you go to a high-end place, you will either be stopped by someone, or you will be looked at sideways when you enter.
From this point of view, Xie Meina is not as arrogant and sharp as she is in school. It seems that on the first day of school, Xigui was ridiculed by Xie Meina, and it turned out that it was because of Pan Lili's light.
The two of them found a corner position in the open air and sat down, and Xi Gui remembered, isn't this Xie Meina going to school? How did you get to the French Concession in Hankow?
She asked with a puzzled look, "You don't have to go to school anymore?" ”
"What kind of school are you going to? You don't know, something big happened in Wuhan during this time! That commander of the Japanese garrison, Okamura Ninji, was assassinated! Xie Meina looked around a little vigilantly, then leaned her head closer to Xigui, and said in a low voice.
"Are you dead?" Xigui's five senses had already been released, and she deliberately looked surprised, and at the same time asked the results she cared about and wanted to know the most.
"Count Okamura Ning's second life, he didn't die! I heard that I only woke up yesterday! It's a pity, as long as those stones that enter the body are a little more strong and hurt the internal organs, then Okamura Ninji will go to God! Xie Meina lowered her voice, her face full of regret.
"Well, if only it weren't for the windowpane! It seems that Okamura Ninji is indeed fateful! Xigui listened to Xie Meina's words, and her face remained silent. But he sighed secretly in his heart.
"Alas, Xigui, not long after you left, a woman who claimed to be your mother went to school every few days to ask if you showed up! There are also a few discerning people around who may be able to see at a glance that it is the plainclothes of the gendarme, what is going on? Why would your mother take someone to arrest you? Xie Meina asked for another piece of news that Xigui had already known from Zhou Limin.
"Do you think it could be my mother?" Xigui knew what was going on, but he couldn't say it, so he had to ask rhetorically.
"It's fake, you two don't look like each other at all! Those gendarmes don't know where to find such a woman to pretend to be your mother, do you think that we are stupid? What they say is what they say? Xie Meina listened to Xigui's rhetorical question. The final word was immediately made.
"Huh. Although the mother is fake, it is not a person from the gendarme who pretended to be it! Xi Gui was in his heart again, but he didn't say a word, just laughed a few times in line with Xie Meina's words.
"Hee Gui. What are your plans now? Could it be that he has been hiding in the French Concession? This French Concession is not very safe! If someone reports that you're hiding here, don't hesitate to do so. You're in danger! Xie Meina didn't care much about Xigui's silence. I just asked again.
"Wouldn't it? Is this the French Concession? Could it be that the Japanese soldiers dared to come in and search? Xi Gui asked in surprise.
"Of course! You must know that the Japanese army now has the right to inspect the concessions of various countries in Hankow! You don't see it, now the French Concession is surrounded by barbed wire by the Japanese army. Moreover, the barbed wire mouth was also guarded by Japanese troops, saying that it was to prevent the concession from becoming a refuge for those saboteurs of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party! Xie Mena said indignantly.
"That's right!" Xi Gui slapped her small chin with her hand, thoughtfully, it seems that this French Concession can't stay for long, pretending to be like this will be recognized by Xie Meina, who knows which classmate who has only been with her for two months will be met when the time comes?
According to his own low-key during that time, it is very likely that he will not be recognized by the other party but will be recognized by the other party, and if that person is not like Xie Meina, who is close and friendly to an anti-Japanese element like her, it will be a big trouble.
Xi Gui, who wanted to see through, frowned unconsciously, where is this going to escape? Why don't you go and find He Xiaolong?
Xie Meina saw that Xigui had been frowning after listening to her words, and she couldn't help but be a little worried. She was a little envious of Xigui for joining the anti-Japanese team at a young age, and then thinking about her father who worked in the Japanese, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In fact, she wanted to ask her father if he was also like Xigui's father, whether he was such an undercover agent of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but she still didn't dare to ask after all.
She also looked at Xigui a little worried, in her heart she didn't want this classmate to fall into the hands of the Japanese military police, suddenly her eyes lit up, didn't her father also go to the French Concession these days? If she opened her mouth to save her father and find a way to quietly send Xigui out of Hankou and leave Wuhan, wouldn't Xigui be able to escape the capture of those Japanese military police?
So Xie Meina, who was bent on saving Xigui, looked at Xigui with some anxious eyes and asked, "Xigui, where do you live in the French Concession?" Do you want to go to my house? Then let my dad find a way to get you out of Wuhan! ”
When Xigui heard this, she looked up at Xie Meina for a while, and felt that the other party really wanted to help her, so she smiled lazily and said, "There is no exact place to live!" As for going to your house, forget it, save it and it will affect you and your parents! ”
Can't blame her for being too cautious, after all, she and Xie Meina are not familiar with each other, and she has never dealt with her at school, and suddenly the other party wants to help you, and once this matter is discovered, it will also affect the other party and the other party's family, Xigui's heart will naturally not rest assured that she will put her life in the hands of the other party.
Between Xie Meina and He Xiaolong, she believes in He Xiaolong and his family more, after all, she saved He Xiaolong's life, and the He family's generation has an only son, which can be regarded as a great favor to the He family. Coupled with the contact with Tongguò for a period of time, the people of the He family are all patriotic businessmen, and it is safer to go to them for help.
"This ......" Xie Meina was not sure that her father would agree to help Xigui, after all, this matter was not a trivial matter, so she didn't insist for a while.
"Thank you for your coffee! I still have something to do, so I'll go first! "The state of mind of Xigui in the past two worlds, how can there be no doubt about Xie Meina's inner entanglement at this time? So he stood up with a smile and said.
"Xigui, the main thing is that I don't know if I can tell my father to help you!" Although Xie Meina didn't stop her, she finally said the entanglement in her heart, she didn't want to lose Xigui, a classmate. And anxiously admonished: "You have to be careful! That Pan Lili also came to the French Concession, she is a little traitor! ”
"Got it! Thank you for informing us! After Xigui sincerely thanked her, she quickly left the small coffee shop, she had been in this place for too long, in case other people who had seen her were discovered, although she could escape then, it would be a trouble after all.
After Xigui and Xie Meina separated, for fear of being followed, they walked around the streets and alleys of the French Concession several times, and at the same time found the location on the address given by He Xiaolong, entered the alley that was hard to find, and walked another twenty meters inward, and you could see a row of four small villas. The one-color sloping tile roof, the clear water clear brick exterior wall, and the partial cement brushed decoration, in it, seem to have come to a paradise.
When Xi Gui first saw these small villas, he had a new guess about He Xiaolong's family background, but at that time, he was afraid that someone would follow him, so he didn't stop, as if he was passing by the alley, and went out to the other side in a flash.
In fact, this French concession is not big, it is more than 100 acres, after going around, Xigui came to the alley again, at this time, she was standing in front of the courtyard door of one of the four villas with a frown, not knowing which door to knock on. You must know that the door numbers of these villas are hung next to the doors of the He Mansion.
Just when Xigui was quite embarrassed, the courtyard door of one of the villas opened, and a middle-aged woman carrying a basket walked out.
Because she is no stranger to the dress of a maid at this age in this era, Aunt Zhang of the Rosen family used to wear this kind of dress. Dressed in a coarse cotton gown, with a woman's bun on her head, she looks fresh and neat.
At a glance, she saw Xi Gui who was standing by the courtyard gate and was at a loss, although Xi Gui was not wearing good clothes, but she knew that her owner was kind-hearted, and she didn't like the domestic servants at home to be the kind of people who looked at people with dog eyes. What's more, she herself is also a poor family, in order to survive, she came out to work as a cook, fortunately, the owner family is kind and kind.
Therefore, the cook of the He family looked at Xigui with a smile on her face, and asked in a kind tone: "Young man, who are you looking for?" ”
"Does He Xiaolong live here?" Xigui saw the kindness on the other party's face, so he didn't hesitate to ask.
"Young Master? Are you here to find the young master? The chef of the He family glanced at Xigui with some surprise, although the owner family is kind-hearted, but after all, it is a rich family, when did the young master make friends with the children of poor families?
"It was your young master who asked me to come to him! Is he at home, please? Xigui determined from this woman's mouth that this was He Xiaolong's residence in the French Concession, so he told the reason for coming to He Xiaolong, and changed the question.
"The young master is here! You wait here for a while, I'll go in and ask for you!" The chef of the He family looked at Xigui again, and finally didn't dare to bring her in directly.
"No problem!" When Xigui looked at her on the other side, she also understood that her clothes at this time really didn't look like a friend of Young Master He, not to mention that she was not a real child in her heart, so naturally she wouldn't care about this little thing.
When the woman entered the hospital, Xi Gui began to look at these villas with great interest, it seems that He Xiaolong's family is not just rich, otherwise, how can such a big haven be built in the French Concession?
When Xi Gui was guessing wildly, the door of the courtyard where people had come out was opened again, but this time it was He Xiaolong who was saved by Xi Gui. (To be continued......)
