Chapter Seventy-Two: Between Friends

Who? Qian Zhong asked as he propped up half of his left arm on the kang. It's me! The voice of the reply was soft. I? Let's ask who you are! Yes! Secretary Qian, you know me! Did you forget? In the summer, one night you went to my store to find the big shopkeeper, or I helped you find it! As soon as the people outside said it, Qian Zhong remembered. It's good that I don't want to get up, but when I think about it, I'm really scared! There's a fire burning in the reeds! How did you get out? Quickly got down from the kang, put on his clothes, stood in front of the door and looked out through the crack in the door, only to see a dark figure standing in front of the door! Qian Zhong relied on his own time in the Northeast Army, and he still had some courage, so he didn't think much about it, so he opened the door. The man entered the door, and with it came a chill. The door was closed, and Qian Zhong didn't dare to light the lamp, so he led the man to his own room in the dark. At this time, Qian Zhong's aunt, who was sleeping in another room, also woke up and asked, Zhong'er, who is it? Nun! A friend of ours! You sleep yours! After entering the house, Qian Zhong looked at the window paper pasted on it, and listened to the fact that there was no movement outside, so he turned on the lamp and deliberately put the lamp in front of him, wanting to see what the person who came in looked like. Late that night, he went to the inn to look for Wang Yuan, and he didn't see what the person he met in the yard was. At first glance, I was really shocked again! This man is not very tall, but he is quite stocky. He was wearing a torn sheet that had been torn to pieces, and the clothes he was wearing were long gone, and at a glance, he knew that he was wet and frozen, and he was erect. His face was dark and full of soot, and his eyebrows and hair had almost been burned by the fire. Qian Zhong understood what was going on, but he pretended not to know. Q, what's wrong with you? It's okay! Let the fire burn! This person is not strange to be a beard, but when he reaches this realm, he can still talk like this, which makes Qian Zhong feel that he is a man! Qian Zhong saw that he couldn't say anything more, so he said, hurry up and get warm on the kang, there are no outsiders in this house, you can take them all off! Qian Zhong said and found his own clothes for the man to wear. The man looked a little long in Qian Zhong's clothes. When the person's mood stabilized a little, Qian Zhong asked again, what are you doing? At this time, the heroism of that person just now was much smaller, and tears flowed down. 1510 told the Japanese how they set fire to them, and how Wang Yuan and his gang fled out of the sea of fire. Choked up and said, "I don't know if there are any of them alive or not!" Qian Zhong was gloomy, looked at the man and stopped his tears, and then asked again, how do you know that I am the secretary of the county magistrate? The man's eyes dodged. Alas! I'm going to have to be honest with you! That day, you went to my store to find the big shopkeeper, you entered the big shopkeeper's house, and I talked about it with a young man in the store, a horse feeder, and said Look, it's so late and there is still someone who comes to stay in the store! That young man is very good-looking, and he is very good-looking, and my big shopkeeper is very proud of him, and he is willing to take him wherever he goes, his name is Xiaobao. Alas! When Xiaobao heard this, he said, eh? At this time, there are still people coming, presumably also a long way away, go! Let's go and see what kind of person it is! The two of us went to the big shopkeeper's room, looked in through the crack in the door, and saw you sitting at the table of eight immortals in the middle of the room talking to the big shopkeeper. At that time, your voice was very low, and I didn't hear what you were talking about, but I and Xiaobao saw what you looked like. When Xiaobao saw it, he shrank back at once and said, Ah! This person is the secretary of the county magistrate, surnamed Qian! That's it, we just know that you are Secretary Qian! Alas, that little treasure is really blessed! On the day when the Japanese went to my shop to arrest people, we all ran to the reeds, and these days, he happened to go home to see his mother. He avoided this catastrophe! After saying this, Qian Zhong remembered that the man might be hungry, so he hurried to the stove to get food.

The man stayed at Qian Zhong's house for two days, Qian Zhong thought, our family, he can't stay for a long time, no, it's not our family, even this county he can't stay for a long time! He turned out to be a guy at the passenger and freight inn on Heshan East Street, and there are many people in the entire Heshan County who know him! If you live with us, after all, you can't always stay in the house, so if someone sees and recognizes you, won't it be bad? But at this time, if we drive others away, if we don't say anything about righteousness, we will not be willing to go. After thinking about it, I still haven't come up with any good ideas. But on the third day, that person may also feel that it is not a problem for him to stay in other people's houses like this all the time, and his spirit has recovered a lot, so he said to Qian Zhong, Secretary Qian, you are really a good person! When I first came to you, I was still playing drums in my heart! You saved me, and I won't forget it when I get there! In the future, as long as you have a place to use me, even if you let it go, I will not hesitate to do it! At this time, Qian Zhong still couldn't bear to say the words that drove the people away, and said, don't worry, you can live in peace, and in two days, we will help you think about it and see what to do. Secretary Qian, I can't embarrass you anymore, this has already saved my life. My hometown is from Hanjiatun'er, so I'd better go back to my hometown. At this time, the fire in the reeds has not yet been burned, and the devil can't take care of it for a while, so let's go at this time! Qian Zhong knew that Hanjiatun was forty or fifty miles southeast of Heshan County, and that land had reached the edge of the lower end of the Nine Rivers, and forty or fifty miles southeast was the boundary of Dekou County. Qian Zhong pondered for a while and felt that it was also a method. And he said, "So, can you do it with this body?" And the man said, All right! I'm a worker! It's nothing! Qian Zhong said, then if you really do it, we won't leave you, but you have to go, and you have to wait for the dead of night to go, and when you get out of our place here, you can go during the day. The man agreed, yes! That night, the man took the two oceans given by Qian Zhong, brought a few rice dumplings, wore Qian Zhong's old cotton jacket, and said goodbye with a thousand thanks. Qian Zhong remembered the name of that person, that person's name was Han Qi, because he was the sixth in the family, he was called Han Lao Liu.

Thinking of this Han Lao Liu, Qian Zhong still had some taboos in his heart. This Han Lao Liu is a beard, if this is mixed with the beard, his reputation in this life will be wiped out! However, at this time, is there any other way?

"Alas! I suffocated to death in the house all day! Pingming, let's go around outside! Qian Zhong said to Ping Ming.

"That's not going to work! Your aunt is in the hands of the police station, I estimate that the police station is trying to trap you, although you didn't tell us what's going on, but I also know that the police station will never invite your aunt to the welcome building for no reason. If you go out, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back! ”

Qian Zhong listened to Pingming's words and was speechless for a while. After a while, Qian Zhong said:

"Pingming, we have something to do when we go out. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem for our aunt to be locked up in the welcome building like this! Let's go out at night and come back at night, be careful, you don't have to worry! Yes! ”

Ping Ming looked at Qian Zhong and said:

"If you really want to go, I won't stop you, I know that you are a capable person. We've been friends for many years, no, you just be careful! Go early and come back early! After saying this, Ping Ming looked at Qian Zhong again, smiled and said, "Look at my family, your sister-in-law doesn't dare to go home, so I'm alone!" If you stay here, I won't have a companion! ”
