Chapter 49: The Covenant by the Lake (1)
After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ersheng finally sat down.
The wind of early summer blew gently, and the Weiming Lake rolled up with ripples, Geng Chaozhong looked at the sparkling lake, and suddenly smiled bitterly and said:
"Blowing a pool of spring water, doing the bottom business, there are some things that shouldn't have been known to you as a little girl, but you already know it, and if you keep it hidden, I'm afraid there will be more and more things."
Maybe it was the beautiful lakes and mountains that infected Zhao Ersheng, or maybe it was caused by Geng Chaozhong's relaxed expression, Zhao Ersheng's stiff body suddenly relaxed, she looked at Geng Chaozhong's angular side face, and finally opened her mouth tentatively:
"You're working for the government?"
"Yes," Geng Chaozhong answered her question with certainty, "I came from Nanjing, and the original plan was to go to Beiping to carry out a secret mission, but I didn't expect an accident, almost all of my comrades-in-arms died, and I also cut off contact with Nanjing, so I had to temporarily find an identity to settle down." ”
"Dead ........"
Zhao Ersheng shuddered, in her life of worry-free food and clothing, the word death seemed to be a distant word, even if the cannon outside Beiping City rumbled, she had never seen even a dead person.
And now, the man in front of him actually said these two words so lightly.
"That's right, dead," and the man beside him was still emphasizing this, "Twenty-six strong men, some of them were not yet twenty years old, perhaps a little younger than you, and all died at the hands of the Japanese. ”
Zhao Ersheng's body trembled again, but when she knew that Geng Chaozhong was doing things for the government, she was no longer so afraid, she glanced at Geng Chaozhong, and asked:
"Then you went to the vicinity of the Japanese consulate to carry out a mission?"
"Yes," Geng Chaozhong affirmed again, "but you don't need to know what it is, you just need to know that everything I do is for the country, and that's enough." ”
"Okay, then I won't ask," Zhao Ersheng's expression became more and more calm, and his tone became more and more stable, "I also want to know, how long will you stay here?" ”
"How long?" Geng Chaozhong's expression also seemed a little dazed, "Maybe a year, maybe two years, maybe a lifetime, of course, it's more likely, you won't see me again tomorrow." ”
Zhao Ersheng didn't ask again, she hugged her knees and quietly looked at the lake in front of her, the small whirlpool in the water kept spinning, looking at it, her head suddenly dizzy, the whirlpool seemed to have a deep gravitational pull, wanting to suck her into it.
"Don't stare at the lake, the more you look at it, the more dizzy you get," Geng Chaozhong kindly reminded beside him, "This is just the lake, if you stare at the sea, you will want to jump in a while." ”
"Are you the lake or the sea?" The little girl closed her eyes and asked something inexplicable.
"I'm a mud mire!" Geng Chaozhong laughed.
However, he was a little more vigilant in his heart, he couldn't be emotional about this kind of little girl who was just starting to fall in love, and if he got into trouble, he really couldn't get rid of it.
Hearing Geng Chaozhong's words, Zhao Ersheng also laughed, she flicked the bangs in front of her forehead, pretended to look at Geng Chaozhong's eyes inadvertently, and then said in a low voice: "You are a spy, right?" ”
"That's right, I'm the kind of spy you see as hateful, but I'm not a Japanese agent, I'm a Chinese agent." Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.
"Spy ......" Zhao Ersheng pondered the meaning of these two words in his mouth, and after a long time, he spoke again:
"Then do you know martial arts, like the kind written in chivalrous novels, the kind that can fly around?"
“............”
"Then you're going to shoot?" Zhao Ersheng asked again.
Geng Chaozhong nodded, paused and said, "How do you know that I can do martial arts?" Actually, I can't do anything. ”
"No, you must be very powerful, when you rode my bike with me, a little your feet, the car jumped so far." Zhao Ersheng stretched out his hand and gestured a long distance.
Geng Chaozhong smiled dumbly, this little girl is really a flower in the greenhouse, just one person pedals the bicycle hard, can't she run away?
"Are all spies like you, smart and powerful, who can not only do martial arts, but also teach and read?" Zhao Ersheng asked again.
"No," Geng Chaozhong shook his head, "not every spy is smart, and there are those who are stupid, but this kind of spy generally doesn't live long." ”
"And how long have you been doing this?"
"This," Geng Chaozhong hesitated a little, but still spoke, "It's also a year!" ”
"Then you should be very powerful," Zhao Ersheng nodded affirmatively, "Or you will be my bodyguard in the future!" I overheard my dad talking to my mom, and he said that the Japanese kidnapped the homes of many gentry in Beiping some time ago, and forced them to do things for the Japanese, so he came to pick me up every day. ”
"Then you dare to take my car home, aren't you afraid of running into the Japanese?" Geng Chaozhong was a little surprised.
"Didn't I forget!" Zhao Ersheng said with a big grin, "Besides, I don't want my parents to worry, I know that they let me go to Yenching University for my safety." He said that Yenching University was run by the Americans, and the Japanese did not dare to make trouble, so if they changed to another school, the Japanese might break into the school and arrest people. ”
"Your dad was really thoughtful." Geng Chaozhong couldn't help but nodded.
Zhao Kezhen was really heartbroken for his daughter, he was right, the Japanese are indeed very jealous of Americans, and sending their daughter to Yenching University to study is indeed the best choice.
"Actually, I know everything at home," Zhao Ersheng seemed to have a faint sadness under his long eyelashes, "The Japanese went to my house to find my dad several times, and a few days ago, there was another person who went to my house and sent a lot of money to my dad, but was pushed out by my dad." ”
Geng Chaozhong understood that that person should be Zhang Jingyao who died in the Liuguo Hotel, this person carried a huge amount of money and was ordered to buy people from all walks of life in Beiping City, and Zhang Jingyao used to work for the Beiyang government, eighty percent knew Zhao Kezhen, and it was not strange that he went to Zhao's house.
"You often eavesdrop on your dad?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
"That's right!" Speaking of eavesdropping on his father's conversation, Zhao Ersheng immediately became excited, "I heard my father say last night that Beiping is going to change the Japanese minister, I heard that a new minister was transferred from Qingdao, what is it called,,, what is it, I forgot ......."
"Keiji Koizumi!" Geng Chaozhong suddenly said four words.
"Yes, it's Xiaoquan," Zhao Ersheng glanced at Geng Chaozhong in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
Geng Chaozhong smiled bitterly.
How could I not know?
Junzi's cute and delicate appearance came to Geng Chaozhong's mind, four years have passed, that half-sized girl must have grown up now!
