Xiao Zhou told Xie Yuru to be at ease, and he went to the junction of the carriage again, and he whispered a few words with the teahouse standing by the door, at first the teahouse didn't say anything, and only after he quietly stuffed the money behind his back did he turn his head sideways and whisper in his ear.
Xiao Zhou was relieved after hearing this, he politely said to Xie Xie when he arrived at the tea room, and went back to the first-class box to find Xie Yuru.
"Brother Xie, I heard that I was looking for a newspaper reporter." He took a sip of the still hot tea before he continued, "The reporter of the 'Oe Vernacular Daily', the revolutionary party, openly criticized the Oriental Japanese in the inaugural issue, and those Japanese looked for him for a long time, and some people reported that they had come on this train. ”
Xie Yuru nodded, looking out the window silently, Xiao Zhou couldn't figure out his thoughts, so he stopped talking.
Xie Yuru actually thought very simply, he just told himself over and over again in his heart that he was Xie Xiao, and he had always been Xie Xiao. Then he made up a story for himself, which dressed him up as a complete Xie Xiao from his childhood to the present, and later, even he felt that the imaginary meningitis seemed to have really happened.
After that, they were very safe all the way to Baoding, because they entered their own territory, and even Xiao Zhou was alive.
Xie Yuru changed into thicker clothes under Xiao Zhou's reminder, there is no need for Jiangning in winter here, the snow and north wind scattered in the sky made him shrink his neck and squint his eyes.
The shoes stepped on the new snow, making a creaking sound, Xie Yuru dangled on the train for a long time, and now he liked this down-to-earth feeling, so he divided one step into two steps, which caused Xiao Zhou to laugh.
Wang Xizhen arrived in Baoding from Tianjin in advance, knowing that Xie Tang got off the car today, and specially arranged for his car to come and wait, the black Biok may have been waiting for a long time, a layer of snow fell on the top cover, and the wind blew, rolling the snow foam, and flew away in circles.
The driver was very old, wearing a padded robe, a black woolen scarf, and a felt hat, with his hands crossed in his cuffs, and greeted him, "Staff Officer Xie, get in the car quickly." Every word he spoke, a white mist erupted.
Xie Yuru nodded, and his identity as a third-class staff officer was confirmed. He was so cold that his nose and ears were a little red, and the driver urged him to get in the car quickly.
He opened the door and entered the back seat of the car, only to see that there was a mink coat on the back seat, and the driver started the car after getting into the car, Xiao Zhou put the luggage away, and also drove them to the co-pilot's seat.
"My husband said that it was the first time for Staff Officer Xie to come to such a cold place, and he was afraid that his clothes were not thick enough, so he asked me to bring one of his own coats. Staff Officer Xie put it on, but don't just come here, you will be sick by the weather. ”
Xie Yuru originally wanted to refuse, he felt that the mink coat was hairy to wear, which really did not meet his aesthetics, and he could think of the snowy weather outside the car, and he still wore it honestly.
Although Baoding can not be compared with Pingjin, but in the form of transportation and military affairs, has an independent existence value, Xie Xiangru watched the car drive through the narrow streets to the outside of the city, about two or three kilometers, they got on a newly built road, but this road is not wide, Xie Xiangru looked at only four or five zhang, but it was much better than what they had walked before.
There are bungalows on both sides of the road, and it's hard to say whether it's because of the lack of people in the weather, or because it's so desolate.
The car stopped in front of a small building, Xie Yuru wrapped his mink coat tightly, took a deep breath, and opened the car door to meet the wind and snow.
Wang Xizhen grew up watching Xie Yuru grow up, but he didn't see him when he graduated from the Sailor Academy and stayed at home for a year, and when he saw him running out of the car with his neck shrunk at this moment, he remembered what he looked like when he was a child.
It's still good at that time, obedient, and don't get into trouble.
Xie Yuru's shoes were very thin, and he could immediately feel the cold air coming from under his feet when he stepped on the ground, so he took a pound of the house and immediately went to the fireplace to bake the fire.
"Father Zhen, fortunately, you asked someone to bring me a coat, otherwise I am afraid that I will freeze hard when I get out of the car!"
Wang Xizhen is older than Xie Yuru's father, he is not tall, white and fat, with a smiling face for many years, after Yuan Gong fell out of favor in the Qing court, he also applied for a vacancy because of avoiding suspicion, and when he was idle, he was even more blessed.
It is precisely because he is vacant that he can come to Baoding to personally settle his virtuous nephew who is causing trouble.
Someone brought Xie Tang a bowl of ginger soup, he first frowned and sniffed, and then pinched his nose and poured it for himself. Compared with his eldest brother, he is a person who always thinks about cherishing his body.
Xiao Zhou does not live here, since he must have arrived in Baoding Mansion at this moment, he naturally wants to go back to cancel the vacation, his trip south to Hankou this time is a secret mission, and the reason for the vacancy is also made up, although he does not necessarily have to return to the team today, but he has nowhere else to go, since he has completed the task and received the person safely to Baoding, he should have some vision to see, and he disappeared.
Xiao Zhou left, Xie Yuru immediately went out, he pressed his questions all the way to Wang Xizhen for verification, and he was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
He is really "dead", one life is worth one life, and he still pays for others.
###
Liao Wanyu took her younger brother to live in the Lin family a few days earlier, Liao Xi is young and doesn't know the difficulties under the fence, but he is happy that he no longer has to live in the old and simple small house, but he is also very happy every day.
She couldn't contact Zhen Gu recently, and there was no reply to the letters sent to Ah Xi, and she was worried when she went to the office every day, and this job was really not suitable for her anymore.
But it's not easy for her to leave without permission, after all, it is the job arranged for her by Zhen Gutuo's friend, and she always has to have an explanation, but he didn't show up for a long time, so that she had no idea for a while.
The Lin family's house is not small, and the yard is also large, Liao Wanyu and her younger brother accompanied Lin Jiashu to live in an independent two-story building in the backyard, except for the first day I saw Lin Keji, but I never met him again.
After living next door to Lin Jiashu for a few days, Liao Wanyu felt more and more uneasy about this girl from her bones.
She would cry at the slightest sudden sound, wake up almost every day in the middle of the night by her own nightmares, and even the menacing winter rain outside the house could make her sit on her head all day.
After listening to what Lin Keji said, Liao Wanyu really felt that seeing her mother being shot dead by her father had a great impact on her, but she never expected that it would be so big.
"Jiashu, do you want to drink some hot milk?"
Lin Jiashu stopped walking around the room, staring at the gold-painted white porcelain cup in Liao Wanyu's hand with big black eyes, and only nodded after a few seconds.
Liao Wanyu looked at her dark eyes, and she really couldn't imagine that Lin Jiashu was gray-blue when she was a child, "Do you have a notebook?" She was a little curious.
Lin Jiashu took a sip of milk at a moderate temperature, glanced at her room, then put down the cup and stood up, walked to her bedside, and under a large pile of dolls at the head of the bed, he took out a small book with a parchment cover, held it in both hands, and held it in front of Liao Wanyu.
She mysteriously "shh
Judging from the color of the book, it should be some years, Liao Wanyu carefully took it and opened the cover, and a curly-haired woman wearing a long dress came into her eyes.
This woman is not like Lin Jiashu at all, and after Liao Wanyu compared her with Lin Keji and the foreign woman in the photo in her mind, she felt that she should be more like Lin Keji.
This was hidden behind her back by Lin Keji, no wonder after so many years, she is still very afraid of Lin Keji, it turns out that she often recalls the photos.
The rolling winter thunder was mixed with lightning, Lin Jiashu dodged on the bed, and Liao Wanyu immediately reached out to stroke her back, "I remember, you can draw, right?" ”
Lin Jiashu nodded, his gaze wandering between Liao Wanyu and the window, as if he couldn't concentrate.
Liao Wanyu didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only coax her like a child, but fortunately, she had a younger brother, and she was also skilled in this aspect.
But what she thought was too simple, after all, Lin Jiashu was not eight or nine years old, and she looked like a child, she was not a child in the end, she was very stubborn, and she thought that no matter how Liao Wanyu coaxed her, she was more concerned with the thunderstorm outside.
After a thunderclap, Lin Jiashu screamed and ran out of the room.
Liao Wanyu followed behind, and the two girls walked out of the gate of the small building one after the other, and ran along the corridor, the corridor was winding, and Liao Wanyu was not very familiar with it, and after a moment of effort, she was thrown off by Lin Jiashu.
Although she was dumped, she couldn't stop looking for it, she didn't know how the Lin family coped with the usual thunderstorm days, and she could only continue to look for it now.
It's cold, it's raining today, I'm afraid I'm going to get sick.
Because he was worried about Lin Jiashu, Lin Keji, who arrived home after class, also came to the small building in the backyard, he looked at Lin Jiashu running past him, and he didn't dare to reach out to stop him, but he helped Liao Wanyu, who almost fell down because of the slippery.
"Uncle Lin." Liao Wanyu leaned on the railing of the corridor on the side and moved her ankle, feeling a faint pain, "Jiashu has always been scared, and I don't know what to do." ”
Lin Keji said "um", "I've sent someone to pick up Granny Wei." Is your foot twisted? ”
Liao Wanyu nodded apologetically, feeling that not only did she not help, but she caused trouble to others.
"Can you go?" He was in a hurry just now, so he didn't have an umbrella after getting out of the car, which would have been neatly groomed with hair oil, but a few strands fell down because of the rain, covering his eyes, and there were many water marks on his gray-blue robe.
Seeing Liao Wanyu nodded, he thought she was not injured, turned around to chase Lin Jiashu, and after running a few steps, he felt that there was no one behind him, and when he turned around, he found that she was holding on to the railing, moving little by little, and her right foot was almost completely afraid to exert force.
Lin Keji was worried about his daughter, and it was not good to leave Liao Wanyu here, so he walked to her side in three steps and two steps, passed one hand under her armpit, and lifted her head from behind his knee with the other hand, and hugged her.
