The old Taoist priest played tricks for a long time, and finally stood still. He picked up a pillar of incense and recited the incantation lightly in his mouth, then took out a small gourd from his waist and put it in his mouth.

Wu Xiucai kept shaking his head, "Isn't this just the tricks of practicing juggling and spitting fire at the temple fair?" ”

Cao Fatzi said sincerely, "Master, after this miracle, I don't know if what I asked for has come to fruition?" ”

Lao Dao stroked his beard, "Handsome, Ming people don't say dark words." But I am a man of God, if I tell the truth and leak the secret of heaven, I am afraid that I will lose my life! ”

Cao Fatzi beckoned his subordinates to open a box, which was full of gold and silver treasures.

Lao Dao was a little angry, "Da Shuai looks down on me." I'm not looking for money. With that, he closed the box and handed it to the little boy beside him. Now the safety of the Republic of China is all on you, and your happiness is the well-being of the people in the world. For the sake of the world, what does it matter if the old way lives for more than ten years. ”

Wu Xiucai held back the anger in his heart and thought secretly, "This magic stick is really a bit eloquent. ”

"I opened my eyes just now and saw that your destiny is to have a son. But this son is not so easy to get, you have to worship the Buddha and ask for immortals, and you have to go to a mountain not far east of Beijing City to tie a doll. Lao Dao said.

Cao Fatzi touched his shiny head, "Tethered doll? ”

The old Taoist priest explained, "It is to go to the temple of asking for children, the Buddha shrine is full of clay sculptures of all kinds of children, choose a suitable Buddha to give him as a child, and soon there will be joy in the family." ”

Cao Fatzi was overjoyed, "Great, let's set off, come here, call the third wife, I'm going to go today!" ”

Lao Dao waved his hand again and again, "Dashuai, by all means, this tethered doll has always been left alone by the woman, and it will not work if there is a husband to accompany her." ”

"Oh, that's right. That's it, call my escort team, and accompany the third wife. Cao Fatzi looked at Wu Xiucai excitedly, "Ziyu, I married the third wife in this room to see her hip bones are good and raised." This time, I felt like I would be able to ask for my son. ”

Wu originally wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking about it, if Cao Fatzi was busy with these things every day, it might not be a good thing, and he could expand the strength of his direct line without being affected by him. "Then I will congratulate the third master in advance, I have succeeded."

Wu did not leave in a hurry, but waited quietly at the door. He wanted to see what tricks this Taoist priest was up to. After a while, the Taoist priest walked out of the marshal's mansion with the third wife. The guards brought in a military vehicle to escort the two men up. Wu took the binoculars on Adjutant Lu's body and carefully observed the inside of the car. The third lady talked and laughed with Lao Dao, obviously the two of them knew each other.

"Humph! As I expected. The corners of Wu Xiucai's mouth rose.

"What's wrong, handsome, is there anything strange about this tethered doll." Lu Yinshan asked.

"Do you know what a tethered doll is?"

"I know that there is this custom in my hometown, which is very spiritual. Every year on the fourth day of the fifth month, we will have a temple fair there, and those women who can't give birth to children will go to the temple fair to ask for children, and live in the Bodhisattva temple for a day, and the gods will give the children to the women. ”

"Silly boy, you're not married yet!" Wu smiled, "What Bodhisattva gave the child to the woman." Whether or not those women have children is most likely a man's problem, where do they go to the temple fair to ask for children, it is clear that they are borrowing seeds. Don't you just see that there are childless women at the temple fair, and don't you notice that there are many poor boys at the temple fair? We are poor in China, many eighteen or nineteen-year-old poor boys have no money to marry their daughters-in-law, they go to the Bodhisattva temple to secretly tie the knot with these little daughters-in-law, and use this method to sow their own seeds, which can be regarded as a continuation of the incense, on the other hand, the little daughter-in-law is also worthy of her husband's family, and they take what they need. ”

"Ang, isn't this a cuckold for Cao Dashuai? No, I'm going to arrest that old Taoist. ”

"Slow! This is the third master's own family, let's not worry about it. ”

"But he's the president, if this kind of thing is publicized, how can it be done?"

"You're so young. Cao Dashuai has been traveling south and north for so many years, doesn't he even know what it means to tie a doll? ”

Lu Yinshan rubbed his head, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"Do you want to tell me that a man is a shame to be a desperate household, or is it a shame to wear a cuckold?" Wu smiled and got into the car.

Wu instructed Adjutant Lu, "After I go back, I will immediately send a report to Lao Wang in Hubei, asking him to immediately send the elite to the border of Fujian and Zhejiang to help Sun Baldzi." In addition, tell Sun Bald to hold on, and our reinforcements will arrive soon. In addition, he sent a telegram to the 25th Division, and as soon as Lao Wang's army left Hubei, he would give me the fastest speed to take over the three towns of Wuhan and the various fortresses in Hubei. ”

Adjutant Lu took note of Wu's instructions, and he asked again, "Isn't that Soviet Vasily about to return to China, and the marshal still sends him?" ”

Wu closed his eyes and said coldly, "It's a fart!" The bamboo basket is empty. Before Vasily returned home, you went to the airport on my behalf to see him off! ”

"Is there anything you want to tell him?"

Wu shook his head, "It's good to send it out of the country, there's nothing to say." It's too late to say anything. From today onwards, we will closely monitor the movements of Li Da and Chen Qingtong, and these Red Party members will surely be a big trouble for our immediate henchmen in the future! I'm going to get up and go to Luoyang from tomorrow. ”

Shi Sanfeng rushed back to Beijing. The winter in Hankou is no better than in Beijing, after all, it is southern. Winter in Beijing is really cold, and the wind blows like a knife in your face. Shi San was covered in sweat when he left the station, and he didn't wear a hat, and when the breeze blew, half of his skull was numb and painful as if he had been electrocuted. He looked at the snow-capped capital and sighed, "Northern scenery, northern scenery." ”

In the dormitory of the school's staff, Vasily was furious. "You two shit. Didn't you say that the workers' movement in Hankow stopped for a moment. Vasily shook the newspaper in his hand, "Look at the good things you have done. All the hard negotiations we had with Wu were wasted. ”

Chen Qingtong was also angry in his heart, "This Shi San, he is deliberately contradicting the high-level of our branch, this is a blatant betrayal." ”

Li Da didn't care about the quarrel between the two of them at all. He looked at the news of the death of his fellow workers in the newspaper, and his heart ached. He took off his glasses and wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. "Wu, a butcher, dares to do such a poisonous thing to our people, I must tear his ugly face in front of the whole world."
