Chapter 29 Self-directed and self-acted
Yurong walked into the living room with a bowl.
"Master, madam, I made some chicken blood and smeared it on your face, don't be dirty."
As she spoke, Yu Rong dipped her fingers in chicken blood and wiped them on the forehead and corners of his mouth. Mrs. Lu looked disgusted.
"Yurong, it's your turn." Yu Lin held a hemp rope in his hand and smiled evilly at Yu Rong.
"Young master, loosen the tie." Yu Rong reluctantly walked over.
"You have to act like that, you can be wronged." Yu Lin tied up Yu Rong and took a rag from the table to stuff it into Yu Rong's mouth.
"Young master, there's no need for it." Yu Rong looked at the dirty rag and frowned.
"How can a girl like you who loves to yell not stop your mouth?" Yu Lin joked about Yurong on the side.
"Then you'll have to find a clean towel." Yurong begged Yulin.
"You've begged me sometimes." Yu Lin whispered in Yu Rong's ear.
Yurong glanced at Yulin.
"Okay, okay, I'll bring you the towel you used." Yu Lin took Yu Rong's towel and stuffed it into her mouth.
Yurong made a "woo woo" sound from her mouth.
"Yurong, just be quiet." Mrs. Lu saw Yurong's struggling appearance and felt funny.
"Okay, Ah Cheng, after you tie me up, go to the street to call people, the more people you call, the better, so that everyone knows that our Lu family is also suffering. Then go to the police station to report the crime. β
"Well, I see."
"Ah Cheng, tie me up stronger." Ah Cheng tied Lu Yulin up firmly: "Okay, you go out." β
Ah Cheng ran to the street and shouted for help: "Oh no, my old lady has been robbed, everyone come and save my master, wife, young master, young grandmother." β
"Huh? Mr. Lu's house was also robbed? How so? Isn't he a good man from Lu Dashan? β
"A few days ago, they invited a number of traitors to a family banquet, and the Japanese also came to their grandson's 100-day banquet."
"No wonder, it turned out to be a traitor."
"If it weren't for the fact that Master Lu used to give porridge to the people, it might be a capital crime, just like the fate of Li Youtang, who maintained the association before."
The neighbors all ran to Lu's house to watch the excitement, and surrounded the door of Lu's house.
Watanabe Ichiro happened to bring a few Japanese soldiers over to explore Lu Yixiang's reality, but he didn't expect to encounter this scene. He hurriedly took out his pistol and fired it into the sky, the crowd dispersed, and Watanabe Ichiro and several Japanese soldiers walked into the Lu Mansion.
As soon as I entered the Lu Mansion, I saw that the Lu family was old and young, the master and servant were all tied up solidly, and the house was full of broken porcelain tiles, a mess, Watanabe Ichiro hurriedly commanded a few Japanese soldiers to untie Lu Yixiang's family.
When Watanabe Ichiro saw the pitiful appearance of Yurong who was tightly bound, there was an urge in my heart to see pity, although a few hours ago, all the doubts were focused on Yurong, but at this moment, Watanabe Ichiro had doubts about all his guesses, he preferred to believe that Yurong was simple, naΓ―ve, innocent, innocent, all behaviors were reasonable, and all speculations about Yurong were based on one of his own professional habits.
Watanabe Ichiro walked up to Yurong, removed the towel stuffed in her mouth, and untied the hemp rope for her, Yurong gasped for breath.
"Ahh Mr. Osa, I'm glad you came, otherwise I would have been suffocated to death. Yu Rong shook off the hand that was tied to the hemp as she spoke.
"Miss Yurong, what the hell is going on? Who tied you up? Watanabe Ichiro asked Yurong softly.
"I don't know, they all cover their faces and can't see clearly." Yu Rong's face was full of ignorance.
"And how many of them are there?" Ichiro Watanabe then asked.
"Seven or eight, all with guns, so we don't dare to move, so we can't do anything about it, and we are caught."
"Miss Yurong, you did the right thing, resisting at this time will not help, but will cause more damage." Watanabe Ichiro nodded frequently: "Then why do these people do this to you?" β
"Don't you understand, there is still a note on the table, saying that our master betrayed the country to seek glory, so he took revenge on us, and warned us that if it weren't for the reputation of our Lord Lu's 'Lu Da Good Man', he would never be so soft-hearted."
Ichiro Watanabe is carefully interrogating what happened, and Yurong is talking nonsense in a serious way.
At this time, Lu Yuting and Qiu Lian rushed in.
"Uncle, what's the matter? Who beat you like this? Yu Ting hugged Lu Yixiang.
"Yu Ting, it's hard to say." Lu Yixiang shook his head and sighed.
"Sister-in-law, you've suffered." Qiu Lian hurriedly comforted Ruqin.
"Mr. Lu, can you tell me what the hell is going on?"
"I don't know, a few people came, as soon as they entered the door, they didn't say anything, smashed into a mess, and tied up our whole family, and left such a note before leaving, what a mistake, I am an honest businessman, I have never participated in politics, I don't know how to offend these people, I really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it."
"It seems that these anti-Japanese elements are very rampant, and we must crack down on their arrogance. Mr. Lu, please rest assured, we will definitely find out. Open. β
Watanabe Ichiro left the Lu family with the Japanese soldiers.
Back at the Army's secret service, Ichiro Watanabe recalled what had happened recently, but Yurong's figure always lingered in his mind, and he had unconsciously fallen in love with Yurong.
Watanabe Ichiro was born in a poor peasant family in Hokkaido, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, he is the eldest, in order to reduce the financial burden of the family, he took the initiative to enlist in the army to participate in the war in China, because of his heroic performance in the battle, so step by step climbed to the position of today's Osa. He once married a Japanese aristocratic girl, but after marriage, he was always not happy, his inner inferiority complex and his wife's arrogance formed a strong contrast, his wife always had a condescending and contemptuous attitude towards him, so that he could never be like a proud general in front of his wife, he knew that this innate humility could not be equal to his wife as a nobleman. So, when his wife died a few years ago, he felt more relaxed and relieved than ever, and he felt that his soul was set free.
And when he saw Yu Rong for the first time, he fell in love with this Chinese girl, Yu Rong's coquettishness, Yu Rong's simplicity, Yu Rong's frankness, and Yu Rong's thoughtfulness all made him feel a sense of pride in being obeyed by women from the heart.
Therefore, he made a bold decision, he wanted to marry Yurong as his wife.
The next day, Watanabe Ichiro shaved his beard, dressed neatly, and took a few Japanese soldiers to the land mansion to propose his relatives.
Lu Yixiang was watering the flowers in the yard, and when he saw Ichiro Watanabe coming to the door with some Japanese soldiers, he couldn't help but be surprised: Could it be that Yulin is an underground party has been discovered by the Japanese?
"Mr. Lu, hello!" Watanabe Ichiro bowed respectfully to Lu Yixiang.
"What is the reason why Mr. Watanabe Ichiro is here today?" Lu Yixiang saw that the Japanese were so respectful to him, and he couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Watanabe Ichiro's gourd for a while.
"I'm here to propose marriage." Watanabe Ichiro greeted, and several Japanese soldiers brought over the prepared gifts.
"Propose?" Lu Yixiang was taken aback.
"I want to marry Miss Yurong in the house." Ichiro Watanabe looked sincere.
"Yurong?" Only then did Lu Yixiang understand the meaning of Ichiro Watanabe: "Mr. Ichiro Watanabe, you must be mistaken, Yurong is our maid, not a young lady, Mr. Ichiro Watanabe has a noble status, and Yurong does not dare to climb high." β
"I don't care if Miss Yurong is a maid or a miss, I like Miss Yurong, please fulfill it." Watanabe Ichiro was extremely resolute and bowed ninety degrees to Lu Yixiang.
Yulin has been paying attention to the changes in the situation since Watanabe Ichiro entered the house, originally he also thought that he had been exposed, and he was caught by the Japanese, and he was thinking about how to let Shuxian and Yurong transfer out, but he didn't expect that Watanabe Ichiro came today to propose, so he breathed a sigh of relief. But he saw that Ichiro Watanabe had such a stubborn attitude, and there was a posture that Yurong would not marry, and his father seemed to be unstoppable, and felt that this matter was quite tricky, so he had to quickly find a way to make Watanabe Ichiro retreat.
Yu Lin thought about it, and hurriedly ran quietly to find Ah Cheng, he whispered a few words to Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng nodded, and ran out of the back door.
Then Yu Lin beckoned to Uncle Yao again, Uncle Yao put down the flower pot and walked to Yu Lin's side, Yu Lin put his mouth next to Uncle Yao's ear and whispered a few words to Uncle Yao, Uncle Yao frowned and was noncommittal. Then Yu Lin ran upstairs in three steps and two steps, and after a while, handed a package to Uncle Yao in his hand. Uncle Yao poked Yu Lin's head with his finger, and Yu Lin stuck out his tongue at Uncle Yao.
"Mr. Lu, why didn't you see Miss Yurong today?"
"Yurong, she γγγγγγ"
"Yurong, she's sick." Mrs. Lu came out of Yurong's room, turned around and closed the door.
"Oh, it's Mrs. Lu, hello! I'm here today to γγγγγγ β
"I hear it all." Mrs. Lu interrupted Ichiro Watanabe: "Mr. Ichiro Watanabe, we have received your kindness, but I am afraid we will not be able to agree to this request of yours." β
"Why?"
"The door is not the right household, our Chinese marriage is about the right door, so that the future marriage life can be harmonious."
"Do you think I'm not qualified to marry Miss Yurong?"
"No, no, no, it's not that you are not qualified, it is that our family Yurong is not qualified to marry a big man like you."
"I don't care about this, I really like Miss Yurong, please believe me. I'm going to meet Miss Yurong. β
Watanabe Ichiro said that he was about to break in, but Mrs. Lu hurriedly blocked it with her hand.
"Mr. Osa, this is a woman's house, I'm afraid you're not suitable."
"Didn't you just say that Miss Yurong was sick, then I'm going to visit her now."
Watanabe Ichiro brutally pulled Mrs. Lu away and wanted to enter the house, but Mrs. Lu was afraid that Watanabe Ichiro would do something wrong, so she hurriedly blocked the door of the house with her body.
Watanabe's face sank, his eyes were on fire, and he held the katana with one hand. Mrs. Lu was so frightened that her eyes were closed, and Lu Yixiang and Yu Lin also gasped.
