Back then, Wang Hongju was arrested by spies after making a big fuss about the traitor Shi Shuli's birthday party, and it was Yamamoto who bailed him out. His slingshot was confiscated by his father and the slingshot team was disbanded. Under the strict discipline of his father, Wang Hongju lived all day and night to go to school and go home from school, and could no longer play with his children.

In the afternoon of this day, Wang Hongju's class had two arithmetic classes. The class bell rang, and the students sat in the classroom for a long time without seeing the teacher come in. At this time, the director of academic affairs walked into the classroom and stood on the podium, he pushed the glasses that had slipped on his nose with his hand and said to everyone: "Students, Mr. Yuan, who teaches arithmetic, suddenly had a stomach problem just now, and he asked for leave to go to the hospital to see a doctor. Today's arithmetic class is cancelled, and I will make up for it later when I have time. Class! ”

As soon as the dean finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers in the classroom! Then, like birds escaping from a cage, the elementary school students rushed out of the classroom with their school bags.

Wang Hongju's school is very close to Shichahai. Wang Hongju wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to play freely, and he walked west along the road of the factory bridge alone with his schoolbag on his back. He walked to Shichahai in a while. The surface of the lake in Shichahai is covered with lotus leaves, and pink lotus flowers stretch out from the lotus leaf bushes; Flocks of red-tailed dragonflies fly close to the surface of the lake, constantly tapping the water; The acquaintance in the willow trees on the shore cries tirelessly. On the edge of the lake, a shirtless boy walked in front of him carrying a bamboo pole, and several smaller children followed noisily behind his buttocks. The boy walked under a willow tree and looked up at it, and when he found one, he lifted a bamboo pole and stuck to it. Wang Hongju walked up to him with great interest.

The boy was tanned by the sun, his head was covered with sweat, and just as he was about to stick to Zhizhi, a drop of sweat flowed into his eyes, and his eyes blinked, and the glue on the head of the bamboo pole did not stick to Zhizhi, and stuck to the leaves. The frightened Zhi Zhi "squeaked", flapped his wings and flew away. Seeing this, Wang Hongju "fluttered" and laughed out loud. When the boy saw Wang Hongju laughing at him, he was not happy and asked, "Who are you laughing at?" The boy was taller than Wang Hong, with a small round face and a cocked nose, and he stared at a pair of dark eyes arrogantly.

Wang Hongju said without showing weakness: "You can't even know it, who else can I laugh at!" ”

When the boy heard Wang Hongju say this, he pouted and said, "Look at your fine skin and tender flesh, you are a little rich guy, and you can still play this thing?" Get out of the way of me, or I'll beat you up!" As soon as he said this, a group of children who followed him around him wrapped their arms and sleeves around Wang Hongju.

"You are bullying me with a lot of people. It's not a skill! ”

"Alright! Then I won't bully you with too many people. However, I'd like to see how good you are. He put a bamboo pole on the branch and said, "Look, there is a knot on the tip of this branch, and you can stick it down for me." If you stick to it, you don't brag, if you know how to fly, you won't be able to run away from this beating! ”

Wang Hongju glanced up at the branch and smiled disapprerovingly, "What is this!" Zhang Fei eats bean sprouts. A plate of side dishes. He reached out and took the bamboo pole from the boy's hand and was about to stick it, but he felt that the schoolbag he was carrying was getting in the way, so he took it off his shoulder and put it on the ground. Wang Hongju came to the bottom of the tree, and he slowly stretched the bamboo pole to the top of the fallen tree. He spotted his target, and his hand was glued with a flick. He took down the stick and showed off to the boy: "See, my veteran will come out, one against you two!" ”

Then the boy changed his mind again. "This one is covered by you, it doesn't count! You stick one more to me! As he spoke, he squinted at Wang Hong's schoolbag on the ground.

Wang Hongju said happily: "Okay, I'm thinking about the addiction of sticky knowledge!" Watch me stick another one for you right away! After he finished speaking, he walked towards a willow tree in the distance with a bamboo pole.

Soon Wang Hongju stuck to another know. "Haha! I'm sticking to another one! Wang Hongju shouted triumphantly, but when he turned back to look for the boy, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. There was no one around him anymore, and the boy had already run away with a group of children, and when he looked closely, his schoolbag was gone. Not good! They must have stolen my bag! "You give me back my bag!" Wang Hongju thought of this, and chased after him when he raised his legs.

The boy stopped halfway through running, he turned his head to look at Wang Hongju who was chasing after him, and proudly raised the schoolbag in his hand and teased: "Boy, the schoolbag is here!" If you have the ability, chase me! After saying that, he turned around and ran.

Wang Hongju shouted while chasing: "You thief can't escape, I must catch you today!" ”。 Wang Hongju's endurance was relatively good, and the frequency of his footsteps was faster, and he struggled to catch up, getting closer and closer to the group of children. The group of children ran and ran into the alley, and Wang Hongju disappeared when he chased after them. Where have the people gone? He thought for a moment and continued to chase deeper into the alley. When Wang Hongju chased out of the alley and looked up to see the pointed roof of the Xishiku Cathedral in front of him, but he still didn't find the group of children, he gave up the chase when he was tired of running, and sat on the curb of the road panting.

There was a young man in a suit and a top hat standing on the side of the road, and he looked to the end of the road from time to time, as if waiting for someone. After a while, two young Japanese officers walked side by side into Xishiku Street. The two arrogant Japanese officers walked with their chests on their shiny riding boots and their chests held out. The young man with the cart saw that the two Japanese devils were getting closer and closer to him, so he took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, then lifted his legs and boarded the bicycle and rode towards them.

After approaching the Japanese, the young man suddenly limped the handlebars, and the bicycle was crossed in front of the two Japanese devils, blocking their way. The two Japanese devils were stunned for a moment, they looked at the Chinese in front of them in surprise, and later, one of the devils shouted angrily: "Get out of here!" You China pig! ”

The man in the way looked coldly at the Japanese and did not move, and the Japanese shouted again: "Get out!" China pig! He still didn't move. The two Japanese were so angry that they raised their fists and were about to hit someone. I saw that the young man quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist and aimed it at the Japanese devils, "bang, bang" is two shots, and the two devils fell down in response. The young man put away his gun, got on his bike and ran. Although this scene happened in a short moment, Wang Hongju saw it with his own eyes, and he also felt that the young man in the suit seemed to be Teacher Song who had taught him.

One of the two devils who fell in a pool of blood was killed immediately after being shot in the head, and the other was hit in the left shoulder but did not die. The devil who hadn't been killed gritted his teeth and stood up. He reached for his pistol and fired several rounds at the fleeing Assassin. Coincidentally, a bullet hit the tire of the Assassin's bicycle, and the Assassin's car reversed, and he fell to the ground and broke his foot, seeing that the devil was catching up, he hurriedly got up and turned around and fired a shot, and then limped into the alley, and the wounded Japanese devil chased after him with a gun. Wang Hongju saw clearly that the assassin who shot the Japanese was Teacher Song, and he must not let the Japanese devils catch his respected division commander. In desperation, he chased towards the alley that Mr. Song and the Japanese devils had entered.

The calm Xishiku Street was suddenly disrupted by this sudden bloodshed, "Oh no! Killed! Passers-by on the street screamed in fright and ran around with their heads in their hands. In a hurry, he tripped over his fruit basket, and the fruit in the basket rolled all over the ground and was trampled by passers-by who ran away. After a while, a shrill siren sounded on the street. A group of Japanese soldiers and puppet troops then arrived.

The fleeing Assassin turned his wounded foot at the Japanese devils who were chasing him, but he ran so slow that the few bullets he had ran out again, and he had to be caught up when the devils behind him caught up. The Japanese devil covered his injured shoulder with one hand in pain. Holding a pistol in one hand to the back of the Assassin's heart, the Assassin limped ahead with his hands raised in the air, a look of great diswillingness on his face.

Wang Hongju, who quietly followed behind, climbed down a telephone pole in the alley to the house facing the street. He trotted all the way up the ridge to catch up with the Assassin who was being escorted by the devils, but neither the assassins nor the devils noticed him. Wang Hongju lifted a few tiles from the room and stacked them together, aimed at the top of the devil's brain, and smashed them hard. Just listen to the sound of "pop". A stack of roof tiles smashed into pieces on top of the devil's head, and the devil fell to the ground before he could snort. The Assassin in front of him was stunned by the sudden movement, and he saw the Devil behind him foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground, limping away. Wang Hongju in the room shouted softly: "Teacher Song, wait a minute." The Assassin stopped, and he looked around to see where the caller was.

"Teacher Song, I'm here." Wang Hongju slipped down a telephone pole on the edge of the eaves.

"You're my student Wang Hongju, right? Why are you here? Teacher Song was surprised to see him. At this time, the devils and puppet soldiers who captured people had already searched here, and there were noisy footsteps and shouts outside the alley.

Wang Hongju didn't have time to talk to Teacher Song more, so he took Teacher Song's hand and ran into the alley. They ran a few steps into a horizontal alley and continued running, when a child shouted softly behind them, "Don't run blindly, hide in this courtyard." Wang Hongju looked back and saw that it was the bad boy who stole his schoolbag, and he was standing in a doorway behind him.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, and it turns out that you are hiding here! Why did you steal my school bag! Wang Hongju angrily questioned the boy.

"I just thought you kid was too crazy, so I was trying to tease you, and I kept sneaking behind you when you were looking for me! Let's stop talking nonsense, the devil will chase after you soon, so hide in my yard. The boy approached, and walked into the courtyard with the injured Teacher Song on his feet, and Wang Hongju hurriedly followed. Another child in the yard hurriedly closed the door. Teacher Song asked Wang Hongju and the boy: "Little friend, why do you want to help me, the Japanese will kill you if they catch you!" ”

"I'll help you, because you're a hero who dares to kill Japanese devils!" The boy scrambled to answer. Wang Hongju hurriedly pointed at Teacher Song and said to the boy, "Friend, we have to find a way to hide him." ”

The boy waved his hand and said, "Okay, follow me!" ”

This is a large courtyard, and the boy took Teacher Song and Wang Hongju to a small gate after a few turns in the courtyard. The boy pointed to the door and said, "There's a back door in this yard, we can sneak out from here." After speaking, he opened the small door and poked his head out to look left and right, he waved to Wang Hongju and Teacher Song and said, "There is no one in this alley, go quickly!" The three of them went out of the yard, and the boy led them a few more steps and then into a courtyard opposite. There was also a side gate in this courtyard, and when the three of them came out of the back door of this courtyard, there was a street in front of them. The streets were bustling with people, and the people on the streets were ignorant of what was happening near Sishku. The boy patted his chest proudly and said, "I've been playing in this realm since I was a child. I'm familiar with the yard here. When we play hide-and-seek, we often 'string sugar gourds' between these two courtyards with back doors, and the people outside don't know about it. Ha ha! Now, those bastards are tossing around in those alleys, and they can't find you! ”

At this time, Mr. Song, who was out of danger, felt much more relaxed, and he excitedly took the boy's hand and said, "Thank you so much, little friend!" ”

The boy was a little embarrassed and said, "No thanks, it should be!" ”。 At this time, the boy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed to the opposite side of the road and said, "Coincidentally, the driver waiting for the solicitation on the side of the road is my father, and you can't walk far with your foot." What if I meet a Japanese devil? So, I'll call him over and pull you. After he finished speaking, he ran over and whispered a few words to the coachman, who hurriedly pulled the car and ran over.

Wang Hongju didn't care about the boy asking for a schoolbag at this time, he helped Mr. Song to get into the car and jumped up, Wang Hongju stretched out his hand to the boy in the car and said gratefully: "Thank you!" What is your name? Let's make friends! ”

The boy took Wang Hong's hand and said, "My name is Shishi." If the two of us don't fight, we won't make a deal, I'll return your schoolbag tomorrow, and you will see me in Shichahai after school. ”

Wang Hongju replied, "Okay! See you or leave you! ”

At this time, the coachman asked them where they were going, and Mr. Song said, "Just pull to the front and go around the alley a few times first." Then I'll tell you where to go. ”

The stone told the coachman, "Father, be careful on the road!" ”

The coachman said cheerfully, "You can rest assured, there will be nothing to do with me pulling the car!" ”

"I'm sorry for you today, I won't treat you badly for the car." Teacher Song looked at the car vigilantly and urged, "Let's go quickly." ”

"Come on, you!" The coachman replied happily, pulled up the cart and trotted on tiptoe.

In the car, Teacher Song affectionately hugged Wang Hongju's shoulders and looked at them carefully. "Hongju, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I think you've grown up a lot."

"Teacher Song. After you were captured by the Japanese devils, I thought I would never see you again. ”

Teacher Song smiled slightly and said, "Classmate Hongju, aren't you seeing me, my life is very big!" At the beginning of the year, hundreds of us prisoners were taken to Shanxi coal mines to work as coolies in stuffy tankers, and the train was ambushed by the Nationalist army on the way, and many of us took advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

The coachman heard their conversation and looked back curiously. Teacher Song "shh

After the coachman pulled Mr. Song and Wang Hongju around the Beicheng Hutong a few times, Mr. Song felt safe, so he asked the coachman to pull in the direction of Nancheng. The foreign car turned around and came to the glass factory. Teacher Song cautiously looked back at his surroundings, and he felt that there was no stalking behind him, so he asked the coachman to stop by a thick locust tree. After Mr. Song and Wang Hong got out of the car, they took out a piece of ocean from their pockets and put it on the coachman's hand and said, "Take it, don't look for it, you can get out of here quickly." ”

The coachman returned the money to Mr. Song and said, "I don't want a lot of other people's money, but you are a good man, I can't take any of your money!" ”

"If you say that, I'll have to give you one more, and today I want to thank you two for your help!" Teacher Song took out another piece of ocean.

"It's Chinese who should do this, I really can't ask for this money!"

"You're welcome, you take it!"

Just when Mr. Song was talking to the coachman, Wang Hongju saw an antique shop next to the big locust tree, and the plaque of the antique shop read "Bo Gu Zhai" in three strong characters. At this time, Mr. Song sent the coachman away, and he pulled Wang Hongju into the antique shop. (To be continued......)
