Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Girl Is a Donkey
Konishi's shoulder was injured and he couldn't exert himself, so Xiaobao broke off a branch and handed it to Konishi.
"Thank you" Konishi took it very solemnly. This time he had a much better attitude.
"Ah, seeing the snow all over the ground reminds me of my hometown in Hokkaido." Konishi looked far away and sighed.
"You also farmed when you were at home?" Xiaobao asked.
"yes. But only a little bit of land. When my parents died, I was very young, and my sister and I were barely able to support ourselves. Seeing the black and oily land of Manchuria is really drooling. Konishi said.
Roll the calves! How far away is death, how far away! Xiaobao scolded secretly.
"In the future, this road will be left to you alone." Konishi said.
"I can bring a gun this time?" Xiaobao asked playfully.
Hikaru Konishi grinned awkwardly.
Arrange Second Master Qi first, and Lao Tzu will have to slip away if he finds an opportunity. Whoever wants to do this terrible errand will do it, anyway, Lao Tzu won't do it.
"You're the most clever Manchurian I've ever met." Hikaru Konishi commented on Xiaobao.
"When I go back, I will definitely report to Lieutenant Colonel Makoto Asano how well you have completed your mission in this operation!" Hikaru Konishi stepped up again.
You said that Lao Tzu didn't want to do it. Nothing is life-important. Xiaobao kept slandering in his heart.
Xiaobao has no different ideas from all men in the world, that is, his wife and children are hot on the kang. What are you trying to do so hard, or work hard for little Japan!
It's a good thing that Hikaru Konishi was injured, and this operation ended here.
The two men walked one after the other in the direction of the horse camp.
……
In Makoto Asano's office, Makoto Asano listened to Hikaru Konishi's report with a gloomy face.
Asano Makoto raised his head for a long time and stared at Konishi Hikaru sternly. "Konishi, I finally understand why they call you Farmer Konishi. It's because of your head. Makoto Asano raised his right index finger and tapped his temple. You're not as good as a first-time kid on a mission! Maybe you should go to combat troops, and not do intelligence work. ”
Xiao Xi's bare face turned blood-red, and he bowed his head and didn't dare to argue a word.
"In a Soviet newspaper article on the Heroes of Labor, the disc squad roughly deduced the pace of production of Soviet tanks from the number of smoothbore barrels produced in the workshop where the Heroes of Labor worked in a month. General Qin Yan Saburo attaches great importance to this kind of intelligence receiving work. Since Qian Xiaobao is fully qualified for this job, let's boldly let him do it. Makoto Asano said.
"Yes!" Hikaru Konishi nodded.
"He should be given all the equipment he needs." Makoto Asano added.
"Yes," Konishi nodded again.
"You can go." Makoto Asano said.
"I have another personal matter I would like to ask Your Excellency, I want my sister in Hokkaido to join the pioneer group. That way I can take good care of her. I hope you can help me. Konishi plucked up his courage and said.
"As far as I know, there is no plan for the development of the Japanese pioneer group in the Mudanjiang area. There will only be a large number of North Korean immigrants. Well, I'll find out a little more, and I'd be willing to help with this if I could. Makoto Asano said.
"Then please," Konishi saluted as he walked out of Makoto Asano's office.
……
Due to Hikaru Konishi's injury, the mission was temporarily terminated. Another person needs to be assigned to lead Xiaobao through the remaining information receiving locations. And this work will need to wait a few days before it can continue.
Therefore, Xiaobao asked Xiaoxi Guang for instructions, and it took two days to deal with personal affairs.
Hikaru Konishi nodded in approval. After this mission, Konishi Guang's attitude towards Xiaobao has improved a lot.
Xiaobao wants to go to Hailin.
It's been a long time since I've been to Lingdongtun to see Erya. And he wanted to move Second Master Qi out of Huolonggou Village quietly. After these things, Xiaobao didn't dare to believe Fan Wengui. I just want to find a house on Hailin Street to house Second Master Qi.
Xiaobao did not enter Hailin, but bypassed from the north of Hailin and ran directly to Lingdongtun.
Seeing the familiar little adobe house, Xiaobao stopped.
An old lady was sitting in the yard holding a one- or two-year-old child basking in the sun.
"Auntie, isn't this Lao Liu's family?" Xiaobao asked hesitantly.
"Not anymore. Their family moved away. The old lady replied.
"Where did you move? What about Erya? Xiaobao asked in surprise.
"The second girl is married. It is the old Lu family who opened a tofu shop on Hailin Street. Erya's father took Erya's bride price money and followed a widow to a foreign place to beg for a living. This house was also sold to us by Erya's father. Speaking of other people's parents, the old lady's face was bright.
"Erya doesn't want to marry the son of the old Lu family. His father had to force her to marry. It's no wonder that Erya is unwilling, that kid is a cripple, and he is in his thirties this year. The old lady sighed.
"His father was greedy for the bride price of the old Lu family. Lao Lu's family sold the donkey that was grinding, and scraped together 300 yuan to give Erya's father, and treated her father as if he was happy. Isn't this the case, I sold my daughter for money, took the money and left with the little widow I loved. The old lady said with a smile.
"Then can I find Erya when I go to Hailin Street?" Xiaobao didn't have the heart to listen to the old lady talk about anything else.
"When I go to Hailin Street, I ask about the old Lu family who opened a tofu shop, and everyone knows it." The old lady said.
After hearing this, Xiaobao turned around and left, walking towards Hailin Street.
When he arrived in Hailin, Xiaobao asked where the old Lu family, who opened a tofu factory, lived. As he walked, Xiaobao soon came to a three-room adobe house.
There is a wheelbarrow that sells tofu in the yard. A woman in her fifties is picking beans from a large pot.
"Auntie, does the second girl live here?" Xiaobao asked through the courtyard door.
"Who are you?" The woman's tone was unfriendly.
"I'm her distant brother." Xiaobao hesitated and said.
The woman stared at Xiaobao with a look that was as protective as a thief. "What's the matter with her?"
"I heard that she got married, so I came to see her." Xiaobao was a little angry in his heart.
"She's working, she's not working!" The woman got impatient.
Xiaobao couldn't suppress the anger in his heart anymore, pushed open the courtyard door and broke in.
"What are you doing! Want to rob? The woman glared at Xiaobao and yelled.
"Shut up!" Xiaobao's roar was louder than hers. Just shouting was still angry, and Xiaobao kicked the wheelbarrow in the yard with one kick.
The woman closed her mouth and stared at the big Vasily leather boots on Xiaobao's feet.
In those days, rich people didn't necessarily wear leather boots. Wearing these shoes is basically for official food. In that era, the common people were afraid of three points when they saw that the officials were justified or not.
Hearing shouts from the courtyard, the door of the side room opened, and a girl walked out. As the door opened, a puff of white steam wafted out of the room.
"Sister Erya" only said this, Xiaobao looked at the girl blankly and couldn't say a word.
