Xiaobao stayed at home for the next two days. Or just hang out around the Hengdao River. Chat with Second Master Qi. It's just that the two of them often didn't talk a few words, so Qi Erye blew his beard angrily and glared at Xiaobao.

Feng Zhi didn't say a word all day long, and followed Erya like a stuffy gourd to help with the work.

Erya's man, Boss Lu, built a small adobe house in the courtyard as a tofu house. There is a stone mill in it, and the soaked beans are grinded. Roll the tofu bun on the side to make water tofu and pressed dry tofu. Then he limped and pushed a wheelbarrow to Hengdaohezi and Hailin Street to sell tofu. I get up early every day, and I am happy to be greedy and dark.

This morning, Xiaobao was bored and walked into the tofu room and saw Boss Lu ordering tofu with brine.

Xiaobao took two sheets of hot dried tofu on top of a large stack of freshly pressed dried tofu and chewed them in his mouth.

"I have to say, your dried tofu is well done, chewy." Xiaobao said vaguely while eating.

"Our craft is good in Shili Village. Today, there is a family that has a lot of daughters-in-law here, and they have to be rushed out as soon as possible. Boss Lu smiled innocently.

Xiaobao finished eating the dried tofu, poured another bowl of steaming soybean milk, squatted on the bench, and sucked and drank.

Feng Zhi came in with a basin of water. She placed the basin on top of the stone mill. Then she pushed up the stone mill, and as she pushed, she used a gourd scoop to lift the water from the basin onto the stone mill. This is a necessary procedure for grinding the beans, and the stone mill must be rinsed. Otherwise, it won't be long before the stone mill is a rancid taste.

Xiaobao saw Feng Zhi with his head down, and no one looked at him without saying a word, and he felt uncomfortable.

"What about the mule I gave you to grind soybeans?" Xiaobao asked Boss Lu very unhappily.

"My mom and dad and my brother took the mule away when they went back. They have to use it too. Boss Lu still said with a smile.

Xiaobao took a breath and wanted to scold, but he didn't know who to scold. Come to think of it, these guys are all scolded, but they can't open their mouths. A bunch of who don't go away and fight backwards!

Feng Zhi pursed his lips faintly at this time, as if he wanted to laugh.

In Hengdaohezi, Xiaobao can't seem to find anyone to speak. The second master of Er Ya Qi and Feng Zhi were reluctant to talk to him, and Boss Lu, the humble donkey, really didn't have the appetite for Xiaobao.

Xiaobao walked out of the tofu room and said to Erya in the courtyard: "I want to go to the security station, and I may not come back at noon." Don't wait for me to eat. ”

"Can't sit still? Want to inquire about it? Erya asked with a smile.

"What news?" Xiaobao asked puzzled.

Erya glanced at Feng Zhi through the door of the tofu room and did not speak.

Xiaobao suddenly felt a little weak, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.

As soon as he walked into the gate of the railway security station, Xiaobao saw Sun Changxi trotting out all the way.

"Did Brother Sun come back yesterday or today? Don't leave anyone at noon today, I'm in for a treat! Xiaobao said loudly.

"I just came back from Mudanjiang this morning. Brother Xiaobao is really a real person, and he does what he says. Sun Changxi said with a smile.

"What happened to the people you sent to Mudanjiang?" Xiaobao asked.

"The day after we arrived in Mudanjiang, these people were paraded through the streets with big signs. I guess it's just a few days ago. The Japanese want to make an example of each other. Sun Changxi replied.

"Going to be shot?" Xiaobao asked.

"The one surnamed Liu has picked up the train a total of thirty or forty times. His father-in-law and eldest brother also picked it up more than 20 times. Why did the Japanese keep them if they didn't let them die? It's all your own death! Don't think about it before you do it! Sun Changxi shook his head and said.

Xiaobao thought of Fengzhi's mother again, the dead old lady who was a moth to the fire and wanted money and died. Xiaobao also sighed and shook his head.

"Brother Sun, after Brother Fan Wengui died, I haven't seen your new section chief yet. You introduce me, this is also your chance to perform, isn't it? Xiaobao said to Sun Changxi.

"Oh bro, you're still going to be a man. I forgot all about it. Let's go, I'll introduce you now. Sun Changxi took Xiaobao and walked to the railway security station.

In front of the section chief's room, Sun Changxi restrained his smile and became solemn. He stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door twice, and it took a long time for a weak voice to come out: "Come in"

Sun Changxi walked in half-bowed. After a while, he came out again and made a gesture of please to Xiaobao.

Xiaobao nodded and walked into the section chief's office. I saw a thin man in his fifties sitting behind his desk.

Xiaobao sniffed. There was a strange scent in the room that Xiaobao was very familiar with.

"Section Chief Jin, this is Qian Xiaobaojun Cao who is on business at the Intelligence Headquarters of the Kwantung Army. He also previously served in the Hengdaohezi branch of the Ministry of Intelligence. Sun Changxi introduced.

It took a lot of effort for Section Chief Jin to get up from his chair and stretch out his hand to Xiaobao.

Xiaobao took two steps and grabbed Section Chief Jin's skinny hand.

"Welcome, welcome, I've heard about you from the Hengdao Hezi branch a long time ago. Brother Qian is quite capable. The skin on Section Chief Jin's face shook and he smiled.

"I should have come to visit Section Chief Jin a long time ago. It's just too busy to find time. At noon today, I invited Section Chief Jin to dinner, as well as the other brothers in the security station. Section Chief Jin must give my brother this face. Xiaobao said affectionately.

"I don't go because I'm not well. Let the brothers at the police station go. Changxi, you can toast Brother Xiaobao a few more glasses for me when the time comes. I'm sorry. Section Chief Jin shook his head and said.

Xiaobao and Sun Changxi said goodbye and walked out of the section chief's room. Xiaobao whispered to Sun Changxi in confusion: "I smelled a breath in the office just now" Xiaobao did not continue.

"It's big smoke," Sun Changxi said in a low voice.

Sun Changxi quickly gathered the policemen in the railway security station and walked with Xiaobao to the largest restaurant in Hengdao Hezi.

There was no chief present, and everyone was talking and laughing, and their expressions were relaxed.

When the big plates and bowls with Northeast characteristics were piled up on the table, Xiaobao shouted: "All the big brothers give me hard to eat!" Drink hard! Whoever pretends to be fake just doesn't give me face. ”

There was a burst of laughter at the wine table. First drink a head shake tail, and then drink a finishing touch. There are endless ways to drink alcohol.

Fuck, who came up with these tricks! Xiaobao scolded dizzily.

"Brother Sun, the last time I met you, you said you were catching train robbers. Did you catch it or not? Xiaobao asked, while the wine was hot.

Sun Changxi, who was drunk and flushed, shook his head, "It's so easy!" Maybe somewhere to have a good time. Buying a house and land, my aunt may have married several. He said enviously.

"But this time I went to Mudanjiang, and I heard from the people in the Mudanjiang Police Station that the focus is on you, in Harbin!" Sun Changxi said mysteriously.
