The Spring Festival of the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940) is gradually approaching.

The streets of Guhuai City are gradually showing a festive atmosphere, many businesses have closed, and some families have already pasted Spring Festival couplets on the door early.

During the Spring Festival this year, the devils did not deploy an overall sweep, so that the provincial and municipal offices and their subordinate departments could arrange a holiday for the New Year.

The provincial and municipal offices issued a notice that the Chinese New Year's Eve began to be closed, and all units could rest until the sixth day of the new year, except for arranging their own duty personnel.

The Gu Huai secret service will also have a holiday at this time, Feng Tiandong wanted to take a good rest, so he cheekily asked Ishikawa Ichiro, hoping to give him a few more days off and accompany the old man.

Ishikawa Ichiro thought about it, Feng Tiandong has really worked hard this year, and he only had one day off during the Spring Festival last year, so he agreed to Feng Tiandong's request, but asked him not to delay the preparations for the meeting in Beiping.

On the first day of the twenty-third year of the lunar month, Mr. Feng and his wife, second daughter Feng Peilan, grandson Feng Zhibai and other families returned to their old house in the countryside to sacrifice to the stove and prepare for the New Year.

Feng Tiandong and his second brother-in-law Sun Yi will return to Guhuai after the ancestor worship ceremony, Sun Yi will sit in the hospital hall and hold on until the end of the month, Feng Tiandong has a lot of things to do, they can only rush back to the old house in the countryside to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner before the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

When sending the old man back to the countryside, Feng Tiandong found an unfamiliar face in the medical hall, this person looked to be in his twenties, less than thirty, and his body was so simple and simple.

Feng Tiandong felt very surprised, he hadn't been to the lobby of the medical hall for a few days, how could there be one more person suddenly, his face was silent at that time, but he was secretly paying attention in his heart.

In the current situation, it is impossible for him not to be wary of strangers.

On the way back to the countryside, Feng Tiandong, who was sitting in the carriage, saw that there was no one around, so he asked his brother-in-law Sun Yi about which stranger he saw.

Sun Yi told Feng Tiandong that it was a new medicine catcher recruited by the medical hall, his name was Xue Yiqun, who was very honest and had a certain knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. He used to work as a clerk in a pharmacy in Datong and was familiar with all kinds of herbs. Unfortunately, the pharmacy was destroyed in the war, and the owner fled to the south. After Datong was occupied by devils, they wantonly killed civilians, and Xue Yiqun had to flee Datong in order to survive.

He asked for food and odd jobs all the way, and came to Guhuai, originally wanting to take refuge with his relatives, but unfortunately after coming to Guhuai, his relatives were nowhere to be found. After Xue Yiqun saw the announcement of the "Zhengrentang" medical hall recruiting a medicine man, he tried to come to apply for the election, but he didn't expect to be selected.

"Our father also took the school exam, it's really good, and his movements are also very sharp. Xue Yiqun is also very grateful to our hospital for taking him in and giving him a bite to eat, he has spent a year in turmoil, and now he can finally settle down. Sun Yi added.

The more Feng Tiandong listened, the more suspicious he became about Xue Yiqun, he couldn't be careless, Zhonggu Zao and Diao Yifeng both had doubts about him, he had to be cautious, and he couldn't easily trust the strangers who came to him inexplicably.

Xue Yiqun's experience seems reasonable, but it cannot be confirmed. Due to the war, there are many people who have the same experience as Xue Yiqun, and there is no way to judge the truth or falsehood.

Although he heard Sun Yi introduce that Xue Yiqun was honest and capable, Feng Tiandong didn't think so, through his sensitive sense of smell, he could clearly feel that there was a shrewd aura on his body that did not match his identity through Xue Yiqun's honest and simple appearance.

……

After returning to Guhuai after the sacrifice, Feng Tiandong began to devote all his energy to the preparation of his trip to Beiping, not only to attend the meeting, but also to prepare his own actions.

At the same time, arrange for Shi Shi to keep an eye on Xue Yiqun, especially when he leaves the medical hall, to see what actions he has, and to see who he is in contact with.

Xiao Shi is very smart and clever, and during the year he has followed Feng Tiandong, he has not only been able to read and write, but he has also learned to be proficient in the agent skills taught by Feng Tiandong, especially in tracking and anti-tracking, which is stronger than Er Liang, after all, he was originally a pickpocket and had a talent in this area.

Let him focus on Xue Yiqun is to give full play to his strengths.

He was busy until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Feng Tiandong and his second brother-in-law Sun Yi rushed back to the old house in the countryside.

Throughout the Chinese New Year, the Feng family's ancestral house was full of laughter.

In Guhuai City, Feng Tiandong is rarely at home during the day, and comes back late at night, although everyone lives in the front and back yards of the hospital, and there is not much time to meet. Especially the little nephew Feng Zhibai likes to stick to his uncle, and for a few days, like a fart, he has been following Feng Tiandong all the time, and he has a lot of fun.

Feng Tiandong also let go of his mood and relaxed wholeheartedly, he knew that after the Spring Festival, it would be a long and difficult battle.

Most of the time, Feng Tiandong is by his parents' side wholeheartedly, and the appearance of a filial and obedient son makes the second elder very happy.

……

During the Spring Festival, the "Yu Hongxiang" warehouse was naturally closed, but the shopkeeper Yang Guoxin did not leave Guhuai, returned to Tianjin for the New Year, and stayed in the warehouse with two guys.

After knowing the news, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Shiquan came to the "Yu Hongxiang" store with wine and food, gave Yang Guoxin a New Year's greeting, and drank and chatted with him.

For the arrival of Liu Shiquan. Yang Guoxin is very happy, he is not from Tianjin, and he has no relatives in Guhuai, Liu Shiquan can give him a New Year's greeting on the third day of the Lunar New Year, which makes him very happy, and he feels that he has made a good friend.

After greeting each other and congratulating the New Year, the two put on side dishes, filled wine glasses, and chatted casually while drinking.

chatting and chatting, they talked about Yang Guoxin's family.

"My parents died early, I grew up in my uncle's house, don't look at my business now, I'm actually helping my uncle make money." Yang Guoxin said.

"Who is your uncle?" Liu Shiquan asked hypocritically.

"Humph! A traitor! In the Tianjin Municipal Office, he worked as an errand for the devil. Yang Guoxin replied angrily.

"I can't say that, this world is like this, after all, he is your relative, there should be no way, they are all mixed up to make ends meet." Liu Shiquan persuaded.

"There are people in the family who are traitors and sell their lives to devils, and I can't control this. But I Yang Guoxin is an upright Chinese, and no one can change this. Yang Guoxin's words revealed such an awe-inspiring righteousness.

Then, Yang Guoxin lowered his voice: "Let me tell you, the reason why I agreed to help my uncle do business is not because I saw such a platform that can dismantle the devils, and it is best to let all these control materials fall into the hands of the anti-Japanese forces." ”

"Xiao Liu, in the process of selling goods, you can run more to the territory of the Eighth Route Army, you can sell these materials to them cheaply, and I will give you a discount."

"Alas! That's all I can do to support the war of resistance. Yang Guoxin sighed softly.

Listening to Yang Guoxin's emotional words, Liu Shiquan's eyes brightened the more he listened, and he felt that he was getting closer and closer to completing the task.

……

After the Spring Festival, Old Man Feng was not ready to ask for Gu Huai anymore, but wanted to stay in the countryside with his wife, hiding and quietly. He also asked Sun Yi to prepare some herbs and send them to him for him to study medical skills.

Xiaobao and Feng Zhibai were also left in the countryside to study medicine with the old man.

Feng Lao's mysterious research aroused Feng Tiandong's interest, and he asked him several times, but he was prevaricated by Old Man Feng, who just told him that if he could succeed in his research, he would definitely be surprised.
