Chapter 82: The Alley
When Tan Dake was fighting, his mind was not sober, he looked at the emptiness, pulled the person disguised as 'King Hua', gave a low command, and ran towards the port.
The director is not a fool, although he can't beat it, but there are a lot of them. And the last one is still holding a gun!
In the back and forth of tugging, Hong Yan was also afraid that Tan Dake and 'King Hua' would show their faces, and they were a little heavier.
It's all fought, whoever can take care of whom, Hong Yan's hands are a little heavier, and the defense forces naturally can't be lighter.
Originally, some of the citizens who were onlookers also picked up their hands, but how did the civilians compete with the soldiers, and it was this group of people who fell first.
In less than a quarter of an hour, several men fell on both sides. There were also some people who seemed to have swallowed their breath in the trampling of the two groups.
I don't know who fired the first shot, and the people on both sides were stunned. Looking at the gun, I saw Lu Dake riding a brown horse and leading a team of people wearing provincial bailiff uniforms to the periphery.
A small servant shouted at the top of his voice: "Lord Lu, deputy director of the Twin Islands Rebellion Bureau, commander-in-chief of the Rebellion Front Headquarters, and governor of North Island Province, has arrived." β
The moment he saw Lu Dake, the supervisor's heart was put down, and he immediately shouted: "Stop, stop." After finishing speaking, he ran in front of Lu Dake and saluted to sign up. And said with a little invitation: "Report to the governor, after the villain was stationed, Mayor Mo failed to rush the camp several times. β
Lu Dake looked at him and didn't speak, the supervisor was so happy, he would be promoted and raised, and if Lu Dake ordered to raise his gun, he would have nothing to do.
Tan Dake and 'King Hua' naturally didn't dare to go, so Hong Yan ran in front of Lu Dake and said, "Lin Hongyan, the instructor of the Seventh Squadron of the Marine Brigade of the Central Fleet, has seen Lord Lu. β
Lu Dake frowned, and he didn't dare to hold it up, so he dismounted and asked, "Are Qin Cha and Mayor Mo in front?" β
"Yes. Lord Lu is also coming to block the ship? Hong Yan asked.
Lu Dake shook his head, raised his leg and was about to go to the side of 'Mo Longxiang'.
Hong Yan naturally stood in front of Lu Dake, and replied: "It is inconvenient for Mo Shizi to see the people of the Chu Palace. β
When Lu Dake heard this, he made an unexpected move, and he knelt down.
He knelt down in the direction of 'Mo Longxiang' and 'Hua Wang'.
Just knelt down at this time, the bailiff team around him also knelt down, only to hear Lu Dake say loudly: "Congratulations to Mo Shizi on the ship." β
The bailiff team also shouted: "Congratulations to Mo Shizi on the ship!" β
Where it was transmitted to the citizens, the citizens also knelt down in three or two people, but it was estimated that they heard it, and their mouths were: "Congratulations to Mayor Mo on the ship!" β
After Lu Dake finished speaking, he leaned down and ignored the people around him, only the bailiff still shouted: "Congratulations to Mo Shizi on the ship." β
At this point, the Director's knees went limp, and he was scared to go limp.
The wind has changed?
The soldiers here were also stunned when they saw the supervisor kneeling, and slowly knelt down one by one, and then knelt down one by one.
In the end, only the group of 'Mo Longxiang' remained.
This scene is remembered in this group of people for a lifetime.
'Mo Longxiang' and 'Hua Wang' finally entered the port under the protection of Hong Yan's team.
After Wen Zhao ordered most of the soldiers to go to the city wall and port to garrison, the streets of Zhaojia were completely free of the initial tension, the shops in the streets and alleys were opened, the red lanterns were hung high, the streets were full of people, the police were wandering street by street, and even some bold young girls also went to the street in groups of three or five, and walked to the rouge gouache shop to shoot the door panel of others, seeing this scene, many people sighed: everyone has a love for beauty.
There are also some people, some young people, holding the banner that has just been written, standing on the street, with only one line of words: Mayor Mo, I support you!
"Beep... Beep... Beep ....." whistle in a row
"Quick! Catch them! Catch them! This sound frightened the entire people on the street, and many people subconsciously ran up.
It was their Mayor Mo who was panicking ahead.
Strange to say, they themselves have no conspicuous place, but they are recognized by the street patrols. In fact, if you think about it, most people buy some food at the grain stores around their homes and turn around and go home, and they walk for several blocks.
After being chased, Mo Longxiang and the five people, on the basis of maintaining the direction of the city wall, ran blindly like this, but pulled the patrol team chasing behind them away for a distance.
Just after turning a corner, I saw an old man, opened the door, and pointed to the alley inside.
After a brief eye contact, Mo Longxiang trusted the old man in his heart, because the old man's eyes had a look that he had seen, as if he was waiting for his children to come home from playing outside.
But before entering the house, he still asked, "Uncle, who are you?" As he spoke, he gestured to the room. Meaning: Uncle, are you letting us in?
The old man didn't speak, and pushed Mo Longxiang behind his back.
Lin Feng was very alert, and his hand touched the gun in his coat.
The smell of street after street, the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es in Paris, the maple leaves all over the ground, and the air is intermittently mixed with the smell of the rain; Vermilion Bird Street in Huadu, a smell of serious and high yin wood in the city; In this alley, there are all kinds of flavors, and the faint smell of various spices is choking, as if you have come to the back kitchen of a big restaurant. As I walked, I felt sticky on the ground.
There were a lot of people crowded in the alley, all of them were some old people, many of them were in a posture, their index fingers were raised in front of their lips, and they booed... This is the meaning of silence.
Just as the old man was about to close the door of the alley, a group of soldiers ran over.
After everything was settled, the old man led everyone to a shikumen, and his wife entered the room and turned on the small street lamp on the shikumen.
This is also the only one in this small alley with a lamp on the shikumen. Under this lamp, the old people gathered around the crowd.
"You... It's Mayor Mo..."Before the old man's words fell, his wife came out with a "chaotic commodity roll", looked at the characters on it and compared them to Mo Longxiang, and said: "Look, I just said that I was not mistaken, it is really exactly the same." β
The old man didn't pay attention to his wife, but said a little embarrassedly: "The woman is still happy, don't mind." Lin Feng and Li Liang looked around, and the old man saw it and said, "The younger ones have gone to buy food, and my wife sees you running and knows that you are in danger now, so I will let you in quickly." β
"Thank you, old man." Mo Longxiang thanked.
This thanks, but the old man waved his hand straight, and was about to kneel, but fortunately, Mo Longxiang was close and hurriedly supported him.
Look at the old man again, he is already crying.
"We've sold everything we can do... Half a month... Half a month... Half a month... There is nothing left to eat. The old man said with a stalk.
This made Mo Longxiang frown, not because he meant to delay, but because he was controlling his emotions, because his eyes were already red.
"My grandchildren have just been born! It's to the twins! Who would have thought... Just in time for the war... The daughter-in-law has no food, no milk, and starves to death..."The wife on the side also cried and complained.
The old man touched his snot and tears, and then said: "Fortunately, you became the mayor, you can afford food in the past two days, and at least one of you lived..."
Mo Longxiang: "Old man, what do you call it, if it is over, I will ask someone to bring you something." β
The old man waved his hand and said, "You saved our gang." The old man pointed to a person in front of him and said: "This is Lao Zhangtou, his health is not good, the daughter-in-law at home is swollen from hunger, and the calf is pressed into a pit, if it weren't for you, almost no one would have been gone, and he has just recovered in the past two days." β
Following the direction of his point, Mo Longxiang looked over, and an old man with a wrinkled face nodded at him with a smile.
"That's the old grandson, the three grandsons in the family are all in their teens, and there is a relative in the South Island, if it weren't for you, I would almost be ready to pass one, and I can keep it now."
"That's Xiao Fuzi, and Xiao Wang just got married, just pregnant, caught up with the war, if it weren't for you, Xiao Wang would almost sell the car, just to give his pregnant daughter-in-law some nutrition, that car is Xiao Wang has saved money for five years, just bought only half a year, to pull the car for us, that is hope......"
......
The old man pulled Mo Longxiang to count the people in his alley one by one, everyone was a little close... Almost...
Mo Longxiang was still controlling his emotions at first, but finally burst into tears.
"This is Sister-in-law Lin, the old man died of hunger, it was ......"
Sister-in-law Lin spoke: "Originally, I was going to die like this, the neighbors can afford to buy food, and they can also help me, so I lived like this for a few days, I didn't come to thank you." I haven't read a book either, I just want to ask Mayor Mo a question. β
The old man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand at Sister-in-law Lin, signaling not to continue.
"I don't say it, but I want to say, I want to ask the mayor, I have been in the city since I was 17 years old, I haven't been idle for a day, I work every day, why can't I even eat at this juncture? My old man, an honest farmer, gets up before dawn in the morning to make soy milk fried fritters, why can't he even look down on a disease? I want to ask, you officials, collect taxes all day long, why don't you see any food when you get here, and where is the money I paid? Yes, you are here too, the price of food has dropped, why did you go earlier? Also, if you hadn't come, why wouldn't those dog-day officials know how to learn from you......"
Before he finished speaking, several people stepped forward to stop Sister-in-law Lin.
In the end, at the moment when Sister-in-law Lin was blocked by everyone, there was still a question: "If it weren't for you, we would all have to die in this alley!" What can we do to meet you next time? β
The old man pulled Mo Longxiang over, and was about to speak with an apologetic expression on his face, but Mo Longxiang said: "Sister-in-law Lin is right, it is a problem of our court, don't embarrass Sister-in-law Lin......"
