Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Cai Jucheng took them back to Jinan, entrusted someone to spend money to dredge the relationship between the Manchurian Railway Investigation Headquarters, and set up a pie for Sister Liu.
Although it is not worth a thousand gold, if this thing has nothing to do with it, Sister Liu alone, I am afraid that she will not have to think about it in this life.
Before sending Sister Liu away, Liao Wanyu was very worried, she had heard about many evil deeds of the Kwantung Army in the past two days, and she wanted to prevent Sister Liu from returning to the critical northeast, but on the other hand, she understood her eagerness to reunite with her family.
So she left the address of her Luzhou and the address of Lin Keji's private house, and told Sister Liu to keep it in mind, if everything is safe when she returns home, she will take her family to find an opportunity to go south as soon as possible.
She held a paiji in her hand, and when she entered and exited, she was checked by the Japanese, and it was somewhat safer.
After sending Sister Liu away, Liao Wanyu and Pete repaired in Jinan for two days, although this fake foreign devil spoke very well, but in fact, it was the first time to return to China, and everything he saw was very fresh and curious.
Liao Wanyu took him around during the day, and when she returned to her hotel room after dinner, she began to use her memory to sort out the improved information that had been buried at the bottom of the sea because of the accident.
At that time, she had a lot of ideas for improving the recipes and packaging for the environment and customs of Nanyang, and now after staying up for two nights, she can only think of seventy or eighty percent.
Regarding the shipwreck, Liao Wanyu did not tell Cai Jucheng the details, and said lightly that they were rescued by other ships passing by after the passenger ship was in distress. As for how to survive on the island that was almost buried and isolated, I didn't mention it for half a minute.
Now it's like this for Cai Jucheng, and when she sends Pete safely to a friend in Shanghai and returns to Luzhou to see Lin Keji, she won't say it again.
As for the others, let alone the details, she didn't even want to mention half a word about distress.
Pete didn't understand why she was doing this, but he offered to cooperate.
In this place of Jinan, it is not very convenient to go south, Cai Jucheng personally sent them to Baoding to make a train, Liao Wanyu felt a little upset from the moment she set foot on the boundary of Baoding.
Pete called her twice, and she said "ah" and came back to her senses, "What's wrong?" ”
"Are you uncomfortable?" He noticed that she was frowning for a while.
Pulling the corners of her lips and smiling, Liao Wanyu corrected him, "It should be comfortable." If you are asking about the other person's body, generally use the word comfortable, comfortable, most of the time used to describe the environment. ”
"Environment?"
Liao Wanyu directly gave him an example, and Pete finally understood.
In fact, if Pete wants to go to Shanghai, the most convenient way should be to take a boat in Jiaozhou, but given that they have just experienced such a thing, at this moment they would rather toss around the long road than go to the sea again.
After sending Liao Wanyu and Pete away, Cai Jucheng sent an urgent telegram to Lin Keji, chattering about how he arranged people properly and sent them away safely.
He didn't know that Pete was Liao Wanyu's savior, so he sprinkled five or six crosses, just thinking that he was Miss Liao's suitor.
A telegram was sent for 100 dollars, all nonsense but not distressed at all.
said that he would send Pete, who was unfamiliar with his life, to a friend in Shanghai, and Liao Wanyu really accompanied him to turn east to Xuzhou in Zhengzhou, and then transfer the train south to Shanghai.
Although Liao Wanyu also knew that such a tossing and turning would delay her ten-day trip, but Pete was her lifesaver, and she of course chose to accompany Pete until he met his friends than to return to Luzhou as soon as possible to improve the product formula of the Nanyang order.
Shanghai is still the same, fashionable gentlemen and ladies are everywhere, singing and dancing in the concession area, and the war in the north is unheard.
It's a world away from Jinan, and as soon as Pitt walks out of the train station, he arrives at the modern atmosphere.
He spoke fluent Mandarin, and said "wow" several times, "This is Shanghai?" ”
Liao Wanyu said, "It's not bad, is it?" The newspaper you mentioned earlier, the incident did really happen, and no one wants to see natural and man-made disasters. But one thing does not represent the whole story, and the lives of the Chinese people are not so bad. ”
The news in Liao's mouth refers to the large-scale plague incident in Harbin earlier, and the British newspaper where Pitt works belittles the country's health and living conditions, and says that the land is not suitable for human life, and the country is weak and incompetent.
"In your country, not everyone is sick and everyone is happy and rich, right?"
Pete shook his head, "That's a fairy tale. After speaking, he was afraid that Liao Wanyu didn't know what he was talking about, and was about to add, but Liao Wanyu moved the corners of his mouth, "Even if it's a fairy tale, there is a big bad wolf that eats people." ”
When Liao Wanyu was young, Luzhou had been open as a port for many years, and the ships brought not only new foreign goods, but also the culture of other countries.
Before she officially entered the school, she had a tutor, and the girl was very good at foreign language, and told her some fairy tales from the West.
"It seems that you come from a good family."
Listening to Pete's words, Liao Wanyu just smiled slightly, she didn't want to say much about the things at home, so she changed the subject, "Do you remember the address of your friend?" ”
Pete reached into the pocket of his jacket and pulled out a piece of stationery that had been crumpled by the seawater.
The letter paper was written in English with a pen, and the ink had long been so thick that it was difficult to distinguish, and Liao Wanyu looked at it with difficulty for a long time after taking it, and could only barely guess what the sixteenth number of the flower road was.
She sighed silently in her heart, Shanghai is so big, I don't know how many streets and alleys with flowers, it seems that she has to take Pete to find it little by little.
Now that she has money, she has more confidence, and finds a decent hotel to live in, first takes Pete to eat a local meal, and in the afternoon buys a map at a nearby newsstand.
The two of them returned to the hotel and circled all the streets with flowers in Shanghai, preparing to find them one by one. But when they actually took the map and put it into action, they found that things were not as simple as they thought.
Some of the streets and alleys are very small, and the people living in them are very messy, and there are two or three families living under one house number, although Liao Wanyu thinks that Pete's friends should not live in such a place, but she still does not dare to be careless, so she has to ask one family at a time.
After running like this for four days, only thirteen streets were excluded, and after dinner, she said goodnight to Pete, and after Liao Wanyu finished freshening up, she sat on the bed and rubbed her sore calves while looking at the map spread on the bed.
After watching for a while, Liao Wanyu was a little sleepy, she straightened the pillow behind her, and half-lay down leaning on the head of the bed in a daze, and suddenly remembered someone in her mind.
Early in the morning of the second day, Liao Wanyu had breakfast with Pete, and did not take him to the streets and alleys scheduled yesterday to look for people, but relied on his memory to find Bai Lang's house.
She hopes that Bai Lang can still remember her, and she also hopes that Chen Bingyi is still driving for him.
Through the carved iron gate, Liao Wanyu looked at the courtyard through the gap, and the car was parked in the courtyard at the moment, and she couldn't help but be happy.
The Bai family is fashionable, and the electric bell has been used, Liao Wanyu raised her hand and pressed it twice, and soon a chubby and slightly older maid came out, the old aunt looked at Liao Wanyu and Pete behind her through the door and asked vigilantly, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"I'm looking for Chen Bingyi, may I ask, is he still here to be a driver for Mr. Bai?"
Seeing Liao Wanyu's fame, and looking at her face, she really didn't look like a bad person, the old aunt walked down the stairs at the door of the house, and when she went to the iron gate, she saw that the two of them didn't have a camera, and looked at them again and again suspiciously, but her tone was polite again.
"Please wait a minute, I'll go back to Mr. Yu."
The two stood outside the iron gate, and after waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Liao Wanyu saw that the door of the house was pushed open again, and it was not the old aunt who came back, but Bai Lang himself.
"White ...... Mr. Bai. Liao Wanyu didn't know why she suddenly stammered, it was probably Bai Lang, although she looked gentle on the surface, the aura she exuded brought her a sense of oppression.
Bai Lang walked a step away from the iron gate and reached out to unlock the door, "Miss Liao, Xiao Chen is out, you come in and wait." ”
The big star opened the door in person, and the flattered Liao Wanyu nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Bai." ”
Pete didn't know Bai Lang, greeted politely, and followed Liao Wanyu into Bai's house, and when they entered the gate of the small building, they found that Bai Lang seemed to be entertaining guests.
There are men and women in the living room, Liao Wanyu looked at the eleven or two in the past, and could see that they were very familiar with each other, everyone sat or lay in their own comfortable posture, and one of the red-lipped women standing in front of the window smoking was Hu Feifei.
"Sister Feifei!" Liao Wanyu was very happy to see Hu Feifei, she had thought about going to find Hu Feifei before, but she couldn't remember her address, and she couldn't take Pete to squat at the door of the film studio.
When Chen Bingyi came back, Liao Wanyu had no need to look for him, Hu Feifei heard about Pete's matter, smiled at Pete brightly, looked at the person twice, pressed the cigarette in his hand in the small Western dish with a complicated pattern, and waved his big hand, "This is a small matter, in less than two days, you and your friend will definitely be able to meet." ”
The matter was entrusted to Hu Feifei, and Liao Wanyu was relieved, so on this day, they were kept by Bai Lang for lunch, and on the way back to the hotel, they moved the idea of going south to Luzhou in advance.
Pete is a person with an extraordinarily introverted personality, and had a good chat with Mr. Bai Lang's friends in the morning, Liao Wanyu is not worried about the inconvenience of him leaving alone, after all, Hu Feifei is a very efficient person, she said that it will not take two days, then it must not take two days.
The two got out of the rickshaw one after the other, Liao Wanyu followed behind Pete, and after entering the hotel hall, she hesitated, and finally stopped him.
