One day in October 1937, just after noon, before the tea guests who had gone home for lunch had come out, a middle-aged man wearing a top hat, a long shirt, and a rattan box appeared in Li Biao's field of vision.

It's familiar!

After Li Biao sent his parents home, he was leaning in front of his shop in a daze, when he happened to see the familiar figure walking into the teahouse.

His face was pale, and he was in front of the teahouse counter with a calm demeanor and clasped his fists in front of Wang Shi'er, and said loudly: "In Xia Li Mucheng, among the Yunyoulang in this area, I heard that the old shopkeeper of Guibao has a suspicion, can you take a look?"

Wang Shi'er looked at the visitor suspiciously, as if she was familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while, but she still looked at him vigilantly and didn't answer.

Li Biao was shocked, isn't this Brother Li Yi? Why is he dressed like this, looking at this figure and shape, it should be Li Yan, but he just has no beard, but why didn't he come to himself? I don't think they have any rules.

Thinking like this, he was very suspicious, so he pricked up his ears to listen, and the man said to Shi'er: "Young shopkeeper, I am sincere, I can take nothing from the old shopkeeper's illness, and look at the money for one night's room that only needs to be subsidized by the shopkeeper, how about it?" ”

Wang Shi'er is pondering, how can there be such a good thing in the world? There should be no fraud, Wang Shi'er, who has suffered a lot of losses, has also become cautious.

At this time, the voice of the old shopkeeper Wang came from the back room, "Let him come in!" ”

Li Biao stinged back to the store quickly, and almost collided with Li Di who happened to come out.

"What's the matter with you?" Li Di asked.

"Diarrhea." Li Biao replied in a panic, he didn't want his second brother to know his secret, so he improvised a lie, he wanted to quickly hide in the back wing, he knew that the room that was just a wall away from his wing room was living in the old shopkeeper Wang.

He pricked up his ears and pressed his heel to the wall, listened carefully, and sure enough, he could only hear "Comrade Li Yi!" from next door! You're finally back, welcome! ”

This was the voice of the old shopkeeper, followed by a cry of "woo".

Li Biao was very puzzled, didn't Brother Li Hao call himself Li Mucheng just now? Why did he disguise himself as a man to see Wang Youqing, who is he in charge of the king's shopkeeper?

"The old shopkeeper Wang is very sick...... followed by Li Yan's pertinent voice.

"I am not sick, as long as the party believes in me, I will still be a strong communist fighter."

Li Yi looked at him with pity, and said earnestly: "Comrade Wang Youqing, you have suffered, and I would like to firmly believe that you are good on behalf of me. ”

The old shopkeeper Wang hesitated for a while, and muttered: "I am not afraid of sacrifice, a few days ago, my life was almost confessed when I was in Yongxin, and now I accept any review by the party,—— I believe in the organization, people are not afraid of the shadow, and the organization will give me a clean and fair judgment." ”

Li Yi said: "The Qing people are self-purifying, and I participated in the Long March after that incident. Therefore, it is not very good to face up to this incident, and now that the national crisis is at hand, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have begun to cooperate again, and the whole country has formed an anti-Japanese national united front.

- You are an old comrade here, and the organization is considering resuming your work, can you go to the mountain to inform Lao He that they will come down the mountain to accept the reorganization and join the New Fourth Army to go to the anti-Japanese front? ”

"Yes!" The old shopkeeper Wang answered almost without hesitation.

"Of course, this is also the party's test for you! You are an old party member, and our organizational procedures still have to go through, and according to the party's observation of you during this period, you should still be a good comrade!

The problem may have been the leak of the list of organizations at the low ebb of the Revolution. According to the news from our insiders, Li Xuzhu, the black dog, had read the list of the remaining members of the underground party before arresting Chen's mother, which means that they were secretly eyeing you at that time......

Now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, they should be somewhat restrained, I also observed when I came in just now, it seems that I did not find any suspicious people, everything that happened before should be a misunderstanding, we still believe in your loyalty to the party! ”

Li Yi said in one breath, almost not giving the old shopkeeper Wang a chance to interject, he looked at Wang Youqing, who was extremely excited, and reiterated with concern, "But this is just my personal opinion, and it does not represent the organization." ”

However, at this time, Wang Youqing was already sobbing, he finally waited for the day when the clouds cleared the clouds, during this period, you must know how much psychological pressure his heart was under, since he saw Li Yi'an sitting in front of him steadily, he was relieved.

Yes, as a staunch revolutionary, he can ignore his own life, but he cannot desecrate his faith, he is not afraid of the whips of the black dogs, he just wants his comrades to be safe.

Now, he saw that the comrades who had mistakenly thought that something had happened were safe and sound, which was a hundred times stronger than any kind of comfort.

He shook Li Yi's hand to his heart's content, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Comrade Li Yi!" I will certainly live up to the high expectations of the party organization and resolutely complete the tasks assigned to me by the party! ”

Li Yu also shook hands with him emotionally and said goodbye, and said that he had more important tasks to complete, and that he would go up the mountain to inform the guerrillas to accept the adaptation, even if he asked him, he kicked off his chair and walked out.

Li Biao rushed out of the house quickly, he really wanted to go out and hand over the task he ordered to him with Brother Li Yi, and he also wanted to meet him, this eldest brother who was closer than his own brothers had been out for a few years, he should not forget their original agreement.

However, when he came to the front door, he only saw Li Yu turning a blind eye to him and walking away, he wondered, it was impossible for the eldest brother not to know his department store, and he remembered that he proposed to let him take over the store.

And just when he came out, he and Li Yi's eyes just met, and he could clearly see that it was his eldest brother Li Yi, but why did he ignore himself.

He looked at Li Yi's distant back, he decided to follow and ask what was going on, maybe it was inconvenient for him to greet him, maybe it was because time had passed, and he didn't dare to contact him rashly.

Li Biao quietly followed him like this, and came to a secluded place around the corner, and he was about to come up and recognize Li Hao.

However, in front of Li Yan, several black-clothed masked people armed with short guns suddenly appeared, and they couldn't help but say, and they pulled out their guns and fired at Li Yi.

Li Biao was a little far away, completely beyond the attack range of his Shadowless Divine Finger, and in the face of this sudden change, he could only hide in the shadows and sigh.
