Bai Guo took the train of the South Manchurian Railway to Defengtian in the second half of the morning, and he remembered what Jing Jifu told him, and went to see Jing Zhiguo after dark. Bai Guo pondered, let's come to Fengtian for a while, and we are not familiar with life, so it is difficult to find which street to find during the day, let alone at night! You have to find the right place first, and then make a plan. didn't care that he hadn't eaten for most of the day, so he first looked for which street and which alley Jing Zhiyi told him. Fortunately, Jing Zhiyi told him clearly, in less than an hour, he had already found the street where Jing Zhi Country was located, and he was still standing at the mouth of the alley where Jing Zhi Country was located and looked at Jing Zhi Country from a distance, a two-story small building with a small courtyard, quietly poking there. That's right! That's it! I can't go back to Jingjiagou today, I have to find a place to live first! Thinking about it like this, I remembered that I hadn't eaten all day, so I found a small restaurant and had a simple meal, and in order to make it easier to do things at night, I found a small hotel nearby to stay.

Baiguo stayed in Beijing for a few years, and then went to Shanhaiguan, and then to Heshan County. Needless to say, Beijing was once an imperial city for many generations, but there are really no remaining cities that can catch up with Mukden! Although it was only a few streets after getting off the train, it was just these streets, and it was enough to open people's eyes. If it is lined up according to his opinion, it should be that in addition to Beijing, it will have to count Fengtian! It was already winter, and although the habitual northwest wind in the northeast was not very strong, it also blew people cold, and their cheeks were cold. The people on the street seemed to be in a hurry, holding their arms and their cuffs with their hands facing each other. The South Manchurian Railway passes through the center of Fengtian City, and the vast area to the west of the railway is full of big factories one by one, and the big chimneys are pestled one by one, spewing smoke into the sky, white and yellow, of all colors, under the blowing of the northwest wind, the smoke does not go up, but keeps pouring down to the lower boundary. It was not a good day to catch up with the sky, and the whole of Mukden seemed to be covered in gray and hazy smoke. Bai Guo didn't feel anything else, but he felt a little hard to breathe.

Finally, when it was nightfall, it took two more hours to stiffen up, and when the people on the street had calmed down, Bai Guo went out. Staying in a hotel and going out in the dark is not as good as going out in the day, which is learned. On the wall of the inn stood a wooden sign that said it closes at 10 p.m. Then if you don't come back after 10 o'clock in the evening, and then want to enter the door, you have to call someone to get up and open the door, this cold day, then you will inevitably have to listen to the complaints of others, no one wants to listen to others mutter! Bai Guo grasped the hour, came out of the small inn, and walked leisurely towards the alley on the street where Jing Zhiguo was located, pretending to be fine.

At this time, there were no more people on the streets of Mukden. Not to mention the cold weather, the patrols of the Japanese Kwantung Army garrison walk over from time to time, and it is a little difficult to catch up with you, and it is really difficult for those GIs to bump into you, not to mention arresting you, even if they are interrogated for a long time, they can't do it! If I catch up with you and get you back, it will be miserable!

Bai Guo walked along the street next to the walls of the shopkeepers, not only to make people look like ordinary people, but also to try not to let the soldiers of the patrol run into them. He didn't dare to go too fast, but he couldn't go too slow either. Walking too fast makes people suspicious, and walking too slowly delays things! Because of the proximity, after only a while, Baiguo had already arrived at the mouth of the alley where Jingzhi Country was located.

He stopped at the mouth of the alley, stood in the shadow in the corner of the wall, looked around, and then stood there motionless. The north wind blew gently, and Bai Guo put his hand into the waistband of his trousers, took out a black cloth hood from it, took off the felt hat on his head and stuffed it into the waistband of his trousers, and put it back on his head. At this moment, he heard what seemed to be a knock on someone's door, and he looked towards Jing Zhiguo. It was Jing Zhiguo's door that opened, and although there was a courtyard wall blocking it, Bai Guo could still see it from the light leaking from the open door. Someone came out of the door, it was supposed to be a woman. The woman coughed as if to dump the garbage into the trash can in the corner, then walked back into the house and closed the door. This response, in the eyes of Ginkgo Guo, should be a sign of everything normal. Bai Guo was relieved, he looked around again, and then rubbed along the root of the wall towards the courtyard of Jing Zhiguo. When he arrived at the corner of Jing Zhiguo's courtyard, he was still standing in the shadows, still standing motionless like that. After a while, Jing Zhiguo's house sounded the sound of a drama box, which is the name of the Northeast people for the radio, and it is impossible to hear what is being sung inside. Bai Guo stood in the shadows, looked at the high wall, squatted down, and then jumped up suddenly, stretched out his hands, climbed the wall, and with a force, he climbed the wall at once, and his legs were deflected, and the person arrived in the courtyard. With his feet on the ground, without the slightest stop, the person had already reached the western gable of the Jingzhi country. Then he slipped over to the side of the window and tapped on it with his left hand. There was no sound in the room, and the drama box was still squeaking and singing. Bai Guo paused, then knocked again. There was still no sound in the room. After a while, Bai Guo heard someone whispering in front of the window in the house:

"Who?"

"Brother, let's come over and get medicine for our relatives!"

After a while, the door opened, and a woman came out of it.

"Big brother, please come in!" The voice is soft.

Bai Guo took off his hood, flashed out of the shadows, and entered the room, Jing Zhiguo was sitting in the living room listening to the drama box, and when he saw Bai Guo walking in, he immediately turned down the volume.

"Big brother, when did you arrive, why did you come here, is your uncle seriously ill?" Jing Zhiguo pulled Bai Guo to the sofa next to him and sat down. Then he said to the woman who opened the door, "Sister Lu, this is one of our relatives, you go and call your wife to come down and see you." ”

"It's not serious, but it's just not good. The uncle asked us to come over, saying that he had already told the elder brother that he would help get some medicine. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, the medicine has already been obtained. You sit for a while and drink some water. Eh, big brother, have you had dinner? As he spoke, Jing Zhiguo stopped and looked at Bai Guo.

"Eat."

Jing Zhiguo picked up the tin thermos on the coffee table, picked up the tea box again, and poured water for the ginkgo seeds.

After pouring the water, Jing Zhiguo glanced at Bai Guo, and then looked upstairs, and saw that Chen Guo and Sister Lu were still upstairs, so he lowered his voice and asked:

"Uncle invited eldest brother to come, is there something wrong?"

Bai Guo nodded and said:

"Yes. In order to keep Jingjiagou safe, the uncle organized a few people and set up a security team, but there were no guys, and the uncle wanted you to get a few decent guys. ”

"Oh--anything else?"

"No, that's it."

"Okay, the eldest brother went back and told the uncle and the eldest brother Zhiyi, let's find a way to do this, let them not worry, and tell them if they have a letter. Didn't the Japanese build roads? Where did you start? ”

"Not yet! It's just a matter of half a day! Yesterday, Brother Zhiyi and we quietly went up to Dongshan, and those Japanese didn't know what they wanted to do on the mountain, and they made the original uncle's mine all neat and smooth. ”

"Oh--big brother, you and Brother Zhiyi have to keep an eye on this, it's best to tell us as soon as possible! But in this matter, safety comes first. But don't make a fuss! ”

"Okay, let's go back and tell Uncle and Brother Zhiyi." At this point, Bai Guo stopped and looked down the stairs next to the living room. Said:

"Brother, if there's nothing else going on, we'll go back!"

"Where are you going? Don't go, it's all time! I'll live here today, and I'll leave early tomorrow! ”

"No, we're already in the store! It's too late to go back! ”

"Oh, yes! Next time, I will come to Fengtian, but I can't do this! Chen Guo, you're coming down! Big brother is leaving! Sister Lu, come down and bring the medicine we prepared for the uncle. ”

Chen Guo was showing Sister Lu a piece of fabric that he had bought in the afternoon, and when he heard Jing Zhiguo's shout downstairs, the two of them put down the fabric and walked down from upstairs.

Last time Jing Zhiguo returned to Jingjiagou without Chen Guo, when he had lunch in Jingjiagou, Bai Guo had seen Jing Zhiguo, but this was the first time he had seen Chen Guo. As soon as Bai Guo saw Mrs. Jing Zhiguo coming down from the upper floor, he hurriedly stood up. Chen Guo was slightly stunned when he saw Bai Guo standing beside Jing Zhiguo, and immediately stepped forward with a smile and bent slightly to Bai Guo to show respect.

"Big brother, as soon as I get off work in the evening, I heard Jing Zhiguo say that you are coming! Everyone who comes from his hometown, Jing Zhiguo is very happy! Let's live here today! ”

"Nope! We've stayed at the hotel! As he spoke, he took the cloth bag with the medicine in Sister Lu's hand, smiled at Sister Lu, turned his head and said to Jing Zhiguo, "Brother, then let's go back, I can't enter the door if I go back late!" He laughed again.

Jing Zhiguo and Chen Guo also laughed. 荆志国 says:

"If you can't get in, you'll come back! Next time, you can't do this! What store do you live in when you get home! Ah, this is Sister Lu. ”

The three of them sent Bai Guo out of the courtyard gate, watched Bai Guo walk out of the alley, and then turned around and closed the door and returned to the house. But they didn't expect that as soon as Bai Guo came out of the alley, something happened!
