Chapter 3: A Story

"The exact time is uncertain," Geng Chaozhong shook his head, "but the boss said, you are my last safe haven, as long as I don't leave Japan, I will come to you at any time." ”

"Well, don't worry, I've been in Japan for more than three years, and I used to do things for the Japanese in the Northeast, so I still have some relationships." Liu Hongbo nodded with a serious face.

"Then maybe I'll have to trouble Stationmaster Liu in the future," Geng Chaozhong nodded with gratitude, and sighed slightly before he spoke again: "Stationmaster Liu, I don't know if I should ask a sentence?" ”

"As long as you don't violate discipline, just ask." Liu Hongbo is very refreshing.

"No, I just want to ask for a few words," Geng Chaozhong smiled, "Can I ask, how did you get into Japan?" ”

"This ......" Liu Hongbo's expression became a little solemn.

"Even if it's inconvenient, I also want to learn from it, after all, maybe someone will come over in the future, and it's not easy to be as seamless as you." Geng Chaozhong hurriedly waved his hand.

"My adoptive father is Japanese," Liu Hongbo hesitated again, and quickly opened his mouth, "He is a Japanese expatriate of the Japanese Manchuria Reclamation Regiment, when he came to China, his wife and children were sick and died on the ship, and when he arrived in China, he adopted me, I was only twelve years old at the time, my family was poor, and when I saw that my adoptive father was rich, he sold me to him." ”

Geng Chaozhong was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that this Liu Hongbo was raised by the Japanese, no wonder his talking temperament was no different from the Japanese, and for a moment, Geng Chaozhong immediately thought of something and said:

"What happened during the Russo-Japanese War?"

"Yes," Liu Hongbo nodded, "in the thirty-sixth year of the Meiji era." ”

"I see......."

Geng Chaozhong nodded - the thirty-sixth year of the Meiji era was 1904, when the Republic of China had not yet been established, and after the Japanese defeated Russia, they had sent the first batch of reclamation regiments to the Northeast, and it seems that Liu Hongbo's Japanese adoptive father came to the Northeast at that time.

"When my adoptive father went to the Northeast, he didn't disclose the death of his wife and children, and the first batch of reclamation regiments was also very loosely organized at that time, and after he adopted me, he reported my identity as his son Yanki Taro, and from then on, I became a Japanese........" Liu Hongbo's eyes looked out the window, obviously caught up in a long memory, Geng Chaozhong was not good at interrupting him, so he had to wait quietly.

"Later, I studied under the care of my adoptive father, but he didn't know that I still had a relationship with my biological father and mother in private, no," Liu Hongbo suddenly shook his head, "Maybe he knows, he just turned a blind eye, I was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, how could I hide it from such a shrewd person as him?" ”

"Looks like your adoptive father is a good man." Geng Chaozhong interjected at the right time.

"Yes, he is a good man," Liu Hongbo looked at Geng Chaozhong and nodded gratefully, "He provided me with education, raised me, and when I was eighteen years old, he spent money to find a relationship and arranged for me to go to Manchurian Railway as a wrenchman, and slowly, I no longer think of myself as a Chinese, I am already a Japanese physically and mentally." ”

"That?" Geng Chaozhong's face showed a look of doubt.

It stands to reason that this kind of child raised by the Japanese is difficult to turn back into Chinese, and even some people are more like Japanese than Japanese and look down on Chinese more than Japanese, and Liu Hongbo is obviously not so.

"You're curious, huh?" Liu Hongbo suddenly withdrew his gaze from the distance and glanced at Geng Chaozhong strangely.

"I'm sorry, I was rude." Geng Chaozhong hurriedly apologized.

In fact, since Liu Hongbo said that his adoptive father was Japanese, he shouldn't have asked again, after all, this kind of opportunity to pretend to be Japanese is rare but not sought, and it is impossible to replicate it on a large scale in the secret service, and it is really not polite to spy on other people's privacy.

"It's nothing," Liu Hongbo said again, "I've lived alone in Japan for more than three years, and I don't usually have much contact with people, I'm really happy that you can come and listen to my story." ”

After that, his serious and old-fashioned face showed a rare smile, this smile was completely different from the Japanese-style smirk just now, it could be seen that he was really happy, paused, his face became serious again, returned to that indulgent expression, and said:

"In the third year of Taisho, another thing happened. My biological father is dead. ”

"Oh?" Geng Chaozhong was stunned for a moment, and he thought in his heart that the year of the Common Era - the third year of Taizheng was 1914, what happened in that year?

"That year, the Japanese occupied Qingdao," Liu Hongbo said, "and at that time, my biological father had already moved his family back to Qingdao. It's just that he didn't expect that he couldn't hide from the Japanese. ”

"Your parents also died at the hands of the Japanese?" Geng Chaozhong said speechlessly.

I just heard Liu Hongbo say that his wife died at the hands of the Japanese, but I didn't expect that his parents also died at the hands of the Japanese, but he himself was raised by the Japanese, this is really a sad story!

"Yes, my father was only in his forties at the time, and he was doing some small business at the docks, but I didn't expect that a shell would come and he would die." Liu Hongbo smiled bitterly, "Actually, I haven't seen my father for many years at that time, and my relationship has been much weaker, and my adoptive father told me about my father's death." ”

"Perhaps, your father's family went to Qingdao, and it was also arranged by your adoptive father." Geng Chaozhong said suddenly.

"Maybe," Liu Hongbo shook his head with a bitter face, "As for whether it is or not, it doesn't matter anymore, besides, I also believe that my adoptive father is well-intentioned." ”

"Yes, it's not anyone's fault." Geng Chaozhong nodded.

"In short, after my father died, I remembered how good he was to me when I was a child, and for a while, I changed into Chinese clothes again, and began to learn Chinese again, that is, at that time, I met my wife, she was a student at Fengtian Girls' School, she was very beautiful, and she spoke very generously, I liked her so much, I pursued her passionately, until she became my wife, and we also had a child, I taught him to read and write, and his life was really ........"

Speaking of this, Liu Hongbo's face suddenly glowed with a dazzling look, and the whole person became much more energetic, but then, his brows became entangled again, and his whole face became particularly hideous and terrifying, and his hands clenched into fists, the kind of appearance of choosing people to devour was really intimidating - Geng Chaozhong saw this, quickly patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice:

"Brother Liu, I know everything next, you don't need to say it anymore."

"Hoo ......."

Liu Honglang let out a long breath, his face finally returned to calm, he stretched out his left hand, patted Geng Chaozhong's hand, looked at Geng Chaozhong's eyes, and said in a low voice:

"Don't talk about Showa's business."

"Yes, Showa is a not-so-good era name. At least, what Emperor Showa did, and what he did was completely out of step with his era name. Geng Chaozhong echoed.

"Hehe," Liu Hongbo was amused by Geng Chaozhong, and said loudly: "It's not just that the bull's head is not right for the horse's mouth, it's just bullshit!" X Fuck Showa! ”
