Chapter 44: Appreciating Beauty

The scout who was in charge of monitoring widened his eyes, and Shi Lei also picked up the binoculars and looked at the door of the guest house.

After the four gatekeepers at the door of the guest house were standing, four more soldiers came out of the line in less than two minutes. The four GIs who came out saluted the four gatekeepers standing guard, the four returned the salute, the two sides exchanged places, and then saluted and saluted again, the original four people lined up to go in, it turned out that they were changing the guard!

A false alarm! Shi Lei and the scout both breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a wave of disappointment in their hearts.

As soon as the guard changes in two hours, the eastern sky has revealed a faint white, and the sky is almost dawn! This night watch, the light accompanied the gatekeeper to change the guard! Fortunately, the scouts have long been accustomed to this kind of boring squatting. It's not common to be able to squat every time you squat, and you get nothing. No one showed any disappointment, except for a slightly tired face, everything else was the same as when they were fine.

"Qiao Wannian and Cui Bin are responsible for monitoring during the day today, and the rest of the people will go back to rest and come back tonight!"

With Shi Lei's order, the surveillance of the Yangjiawan Guest House has become normalized from this night.

One day, two days, and on the third day, the scout came to report that someone had stayed at the Yangjiawan Guest House! Shi Lei came to the vicinity of the guest house again. The scouts had set up a stall selling fruit cigarettes less than a hundred meters from the guest house. Shi Lei came as the shopkeeper of a small stall this time.

Wearing a cardigan gown, black silk pants, a straw hat on his head, and a cigarette in his left hand, Shi Lei stood in front of the fruit stall and seemed to take care of business, but in fact, his two eyes had been staring at the door of the guest house opposite.

Two people walked out of the guest house, one of whom was shorter and wore a pair of disc sunglasses. When the two went out, they took off their hats and bowed to the gatekeeper, looking very polite, but the way they spoke politely looked obviously awkward. At that time, when Chinese people greeted each other, they generally hugged their fists and bowed, which seemed to be more popular among Japanese people.

After the two of them went out, they looked around for a while, and came directly to Shi Lei's stall.

"Fresh fruits, oranges, apples, big pears!" As soon as Shi Lei saw the people coming, he hurriedly shouted at the business scriptures, and at the same time smiled at the two people who came, and greeted him from afar: "Two of you, weigh two catties of fruit and try it?" ”

"Yours, how much does this orange cost?" The person who wears round sunglasses probably looks at the oranges that are yellow and round, which is more in line with a certain pattern in his heart, and he asks the price of oranges when he comes up.

"Oranges are a pound a dollar, apples are two a piece, and big pears are eight cents and five. Does this guy want oranges? How about I'm counting you? How many pounds? ”

"Nine-hair-eight? Okay, okay, I want four oranges. The man still insisted on the calculation, but he was obviously satisfied with the price.

Shi Lei stretched out his hand and picked out the four biggest ones for him, one on the scale, three catties and six taels, and one of them was almost a catty!

"Three catties and six taels, it should have been counted as three pieces of six. I'll give it to you according to nine cents and eight, a total of three pieces of five cents and two cents and eight. Rounded up, you will be counted as three cents and five cents. Shi Lei took an abacus and crackled twice, and calculated the price for this one.

"Rounding? Very good! Yours are very good at business! The man talked to Shi Lei in half-baked Chinese, and at the same time took out a few bills from his pocket and handed them over, and a business was done.

"Mr. Ting's accent doesn't look like a local, does he?" When wrapping the oranges for this person, Shi Lei asked casually seemingly unintentionally.

"Mine, it's Great Japan, uh, it's Korea." The man was halfway through his words, and the companion next to him suddenly dragged him, and the man wearing round sunglasses quickly changed his words, saying that he was a Korean.

"Oh, it's still an international friend. We welcome more Korean guests to visit our business. Through a few words of dialogue, Shi Lei has thoroughly understood, this guy is a devil! You can't go wrong! The commander of the reconnaissance regiment went deep into the enemy camp in disguise, and he didn't know how many times he had talked face-to-face with the devil, and as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he judged the nationality of the other party. Good guy, today is the right one!

As soon as the two Japanese left, Shi Lei informed the scouts to continue to hold on, and he himself should immediately send a report to the military headquarters and report the situation here to the military seat! Whether to withdraw, or take advantage of the situation to end Sun Dianying's den of receiving the Japanese, this decision has to be taken by the military seat himself.

When Gao Quan received Shi Lei's telegram, he was admiring the beaded chains of the three women Hong Yingying, Huiqin, and Tang Wenjuan dangling in front of him. Although this kind of national treasure-level cultural relics is the price of a large number of firearms and materials, it is not a matter of three or two days to sell them at the right price.

Collect antiques in prosperous times, buy gold in troubled times. Needless to say, this era is definitely going to be a troubled time. Qianlong Golden Knife is good to say, after all, this thing still has a bit of gold, but these three pairs of beads undoubtedly belong to the ranks of antiques! If you want to sell these priceless treasures at a good price in this war-torn era, you must also sell them to the Chinese, and you must ensure that the buyer does not immediately take them to foreign auctions to make money, and the difficulty can be imagined.

It's been a few days, and there hasn't been any movement on Zheng Guotai's side, but Liu Qi said that he knows a wealthy businessman who likes to collect antiques, but he doesn't know if he can find that person. Gao Quan planned to give Liu Qi half a month's vacation in a few days, and asked Brigade Commander Liu to find his old acquaintance to see if that person could afford to buy antiques.

There was no buyer yet, and if they were put away, Gao Quan took out a few strings of beads and asked the women to wear them for him to see. Precious jewelry should be matched with stunning beauties, the three women are all good-looking, although they are not stunningly beautiful in the world like Diao Chan Xi Shi, but they can be regarded as beautiful women with good facial features and proud figures, and they are rare to see. The women love this peerless treasure, and they are of course very happy to be able to wear it for their loved ones to admire. So, at the military commander's residence, this fashion jewelry show was officially held.

The three beauties were each dressed in various colors of casual clothes that they usually had no chance to wear, and their elegant white necks wore strings of glittering beads, scratching their heads and posing, taking turns walking around in front of Commander Gao, and from time to time someone went into the inner room to change their clothes.

Gao Quan was sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a cigarette in his hand, squinting his eyes slightly, smiling at the corners of his lips, and admiring the beauty of the room with a very comfortable expression.

"Report!" There was a report from the orderly outside the door, Gao Quan pinched the cigarette butt, and when he raised his eyes, the women had already sensibly entered the inner room to avoid it. Although these three people are not strangers in the 500 Army, and two of them are still holding military positions, but now several people are concentrated in the residence of the military seat, and they are wearing civilian clothes and heavy treasures, so how bad is the impact for outsiders? The women are absolutely unwilling to cause the slightest negative impact on Gao Quan, even if the person outside the door is a personal orderly soldier of the military seat who meets every day!
