Chapter 17: News of the Dead

Chu Jiao provided cover again, and reminded: "There's a White Russian, hurry up, don't be discovered." ”

Xie Yuelan didn't know if she heard it or not, she seemed to mumbl and continued to shoot.

A White Russian soldier came over with a gun, Xie Yuelan hurriedly hid the camera and beckoned Chu Jiao, "Go, what's the daze!" ”

Chu Jiao was indeed in a daze, she narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully identifying a person in the ranks of the national * army who seemed to be very familiar. It was familiar in her memory, it seemed to be called Zhang Chengfu, but she couldn't be 100% sure.

"Let's go, let's go!" Xie Yuelan pulled Chu Jiao across the street, and the White Russian soldiers kept staring at them, but they didn't come up to catch up.

"Finished shooting?" Chu Jiao came to her senses and asked suspiciously.

"Okay, I think it's a good shot." Xie Yuelan smiled heartily and nodded again and again, forgetting Chu Jiao's daze just now.

"Then let's go to the tailor's shop!" Although Chu Jiao really wanted to confirm it, she was not in a hurry, and she didn't want to use too impatient methods. As long as Zhang Chengfu is really in the lonely military camp, she will always find out.

The two of them talked, walking towards the car parked not far away. On the side of the street not far from the car, donation boxes had just been placed, and several young people who looked like students were holding flags and banners, as if preparing for propaganda.

"Gillian-" Suddenly someone shouted Chu Jiao's name, no need to look for it, the person had already trotted over.

He Xiaoyan! Chu Jiao recognized it at a glance and beckoned with a smile.

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, I still wanted to go to your house to see you!" He Xiaoyan trotted closer, took Chu Jiao's hand, and looked up and down with a smile, "The injury is almost healed?" ”

"Almost." Chu Jiao smiled, "Thank you for sending me to the hospital, if it weren't for time, maybe-"

"You thanked you when you woke up in the hospital, besides, what is the relationship between the two of us?" He Xiaoyan took Chu Jiao's hand and turned her face to Xie Yuelan, with some inquiry.

"My cousin, Xie Yuelan." Chu Jiao hurriedly introduced, "This is my classmate, He Xiaoyan, a life-saving benefactor!" ”

"That's a good thank you." Xie Yuelan stepped forward and shook He Xiaoyan's hand, and said with a smile: "You talk, I'll wait for you in the car!" ”

He Xiaoyan watched Xie Yuelan walk away, got into the car, turned her head and smiled at Chu Jiao and said, "What's the matter, do you want to publicize and raise funds together?" ”

"What is the name of this, you guys?" Chu Jiao stretched out her finger in confusion.

"Raise money for the lonely! Foreign devils are too bad......" Xie Xiaoyan explained angrily.

After the lone army entered the concession and was disarmed, although the head of the regiment Xie Jinyuan repeatedly reiterated to the Ministry of Industry Bureau that the lone army of the Four Elements was different from the prisoners of war, and it was also different from the refugees who fled to neutral areas because they ran out of ammunition and food. The defenders of the Four Elements retreated from a humane standpoint to ensure the safety of the Shanghai Concession, and the concession authorities should take a neutral attitude to grant freedom to the lone army.

But the situation of the lone army has not improved. It was forbidden to fly the national flag and take pictures in the lonely barracks, and the soldiers' food was very poor.

To make matters worse, the concession authorities refused to provide food as a lone soldier who was not a prisoner of war, and the lone soldier relied on patriotic groups and enthusiastic Shanghai citizens for the first few months after entering the camp.

"It's too bad, it should be fought." Chu Jiao was very angry that the heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance would go without meals and live a difficult life, "It should be widely publicized through newspapers and media, so that the people of Shanghai can rise up to support." ”

"We are in contact with various parties, and the government is also negotiating with the Ministry of Industry." He Xiaoyan took Chu Jiao's hand and didn't let go, and looked at it carefully at this time.

"What's wrong, my face-" Chu Jiao didn't know why, and was stared at very uncomfortably.

"Hehe, I just want to take a good look, how is it not like the bravest woman!" He Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"The bravest woman? Who, me? Chu Jiao asked curiously.

"yes, that's what someone says about you!" He Xiaoyan paused, deliberately betrayed a pass, and said: "Zhao Youcai, sergeant of the National * Army, do you know?" That's what he praised you. ”

Chu Jiao tilted her head and thought about it, and finally remembered, which was verified one by one with her memory, which proved more and more the truth of what she had experienced.

Thinking of this, Chu Jiao was a little relieved, and then asked with concern: "Brother Zhao, where is he, is he okay?" ”

"Brother Zhao, it's weird!" He Xiaoyan teased: "You asked him if he was okay, he asked if you were okay, the relationship is not ordinary!" ”

Chu Jiao was a little embarrassed, smiled abruptly, and said, "Anyway, we have been born and died on the battlefield, so it's normal to care about each other!" ”

He Xiaoyan pursed her lips and said, "I sent him to a small clinic of an acquaintance for treatment, and when his injuries are healed, I will send him to the Lujiawan Chinese Soldiers Shelter for placement by the International Red Cross." ”

Chu Jiao nodded, and saw her cousin poking her head out of the car, pointing to her watch, and signaling her to hurry up.

"I still have something to do." Chu Jiao paused, estimated the time, and said, "At three o'clock in the afternoon, can you finish things here?" Let's make an appointment to talk about it, shall we? ”

He Xiaoyan thought for a while and said, "If it's four o'clock, I'm afraid that I will have to go through the streets and alleys to publicize and raise donations, and the time is more relaxed, so I won't be in a hurry." ”

"Okay, four o'clock." Chu Jiao nodded, took out a few banknotes from her pocket, and said with a smile: "What do you want to eat at night, just say the name of the store, and I'll treat you." Well, this money is my donation, don't be too little! ”

"It's open!" He Xiaoyan smiled happily, rolled her eyes and thought about it again, and said with a smile: "Then, then the Continental Hotel on Petain Road, I'm hungry for his fried pork ribs!" ”

"This is it." Chu Jiao and He Xiaoyan hugged each other and said with a smile: "Four o'clock, see you in front of the hotel!" ”

"See you or leave!" He Xiaoyan smiled and beckoned, and saw Chu Jiao enter the car and gallop away.

……………

In the car, Xie Yuelan and Chu Jiao chatted a few words, then stared out of the window thoughtfully, opened their mouths a few times, and closed their lips hesitantly.

Chu Jiao lowered her eyelids, thinking about something. Zhang Chengfu and Zhao Youcai, both of them seem to be able to be her good helpers, if she wants to continue to kill devils on the isolated island of Shanghai.

Of course, the current Chu Jiao has not yet made up her mind. The plans and ideas were still very crude, and although she felt that she should be powerful, it was psychological. To be more precise, she thinks she's a master.

When they arrived at the tailor's shop, the two went in and made a few sets of clothes and pants. Because he is a regular customer, he is also very warmly entertained.

"Have a coffee and a bite to eat?" The two went out of the store, and Xie Yuelan took the initiative to invite: "Turn around a street, that house has a good environment." ”

Chu Jiao is indispensable, anyway, she can't figure out how to act now, although she always thinks that she will become a master, a powerful master.
