"Brother Wen, I think it's better for you to quit this job, the official envoy is not suitable for you. I know professors from several schools, and I can ask them to contact them to see if there are any painting positions. ”

"That's a good dare, if you can do it, you can save me. Even if I can't find it, I don't plan to stay in the Lu Mansion anymore, I'll go back to my hometown, maybe, my wife and children can't find me, they will go to my hometown to wait for me, alas, there is no one in my hometown, can they go? He shook his head again silently.

Both of them drank a lot of wine, Wen Yuanbing went back to Lu Mansion drunk, Hu Xuan didn't drink much, he drank a lot with Wen Yuanbing, and when he came out of the tavern, his face was like a red cloth, his feet were shaking, and he didn't go to the antique shop in the afternoon, so he went to the willow weaving club to find A-Ning.

In the courtyard of the Liubian Society, a group of people are sitting on the bench to work, in addition to A-Ning, there are also Jiang Yuniang, Shi Suo, Dafeng, Duan Laosan, Professor Wan and others, everyone is following A-Ning to weave baskets, while discussing things, Hu Xuan smiled: "You came here for a meeting, aren't you afraid that Manager Ma will find out?" ”

"Manager Ma doesn't usually come," A-Ning glanced at Hu Xuan and said, "How much wine have you drunk, you have become a drunken immortal." She stood up, dusted off her body, and made a cup of hot tea for Hu Shuan, "Wake up, don't drink so much in the future." ”

"Yes," Hu Xuan shook his head embarrassedly, "The more he and Wen Yuanbing drink, the more lively they become, and the more they turn out, but the brain is still clear." While drinking tea, he told Wen Yuanbing about it, Jiang Yuniang said: "It seems that this person is just a painting teacher, not like a spy, if he wants, help him get out of the Lu Mansion, this kind of simple intellectual, staying in that kind of place, will hurt himself." ”

"I'll leave this matter to me, I'll figure it out." Professor Wan said.

Hu Xuan drank a cup of tea, felt better, and took the wicker basket with everyone, but always felt that the wicker in front of him was shaky, and the wicker in his left hand could not be placed in the basket of his right hand, A-Ning hurriedly snatched the wicker in his hand, "Okay, okay, don't be ashamed, get drunk like this, go to sleep in the house first." She helped Hu Shuan up and walked into the house, Hu Shuan smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I can go." ”

Arrange Hu Bolt to sleep on the bed in the house, A-Ning returned to the courtyard, and everyone continued to work and chat, Dafeng and Shi Suo on the morning parade, although happy, but it seems that there is still a feeling of unfinished, always feel "not enjoyable", Shi Suo shook his head and said: "Just walked around, I didn't fight with them face to face, there is no taste." ”

Jiang Yuniang disagreed with Shi Suo's words, she said: "I think it's very good, our actions, not only in solidarity with Beijing and other regions, but also without any losses, the military and police of the government, only watching the excitement from the side, and we 'live in peace', this is victory, it represents the people's activities to fight for rights and interests, is growing, it has won the recognition and support of the whole country, so that the official does not dare to arrest and kill people at will." ”

"They don't want to live in peace." Shi Suo shook his head and said.

"Yes," Professor Wan agreed with Shi Suo's words this time, "there must have been a lot of their spies in the procession, and the boiler worker from our school also came out, shouting more actively than anyone else on the surface, but we always knew what kind of character he was." Also, wasn't our Xiaohu also sent out by them? Ha ha. ”

Everyone was also amused, Hu Xuan was slowly being "reused" by Lu Daya, and he was in a very delicate role. A-Ning smiled: "He wears many hats and has become a multi-faceted clown." ”

"But his multi-faceted character is always full of danger," Jiang Yuniang reminded: "You have to always warn him to be cautious, Lu Daya and they are all guys who eat people and don't spit out bones." And you too, these people in the city have to be extra careful, in the recent period, our people have been followed and interrogated inexplicably, more and more, Lu Daya is not idle, his minions have been stretched everywhere. ”

"Hmm."

Duan Laosan said one thing, "Two days ago, there was a guest in the big car shop, at first, I didn't see anything special, but I went out early and returned late every day, I didn't know what to do, and I always went back to the inn to sleep when it was very late." On two occasions, several people came to the store at night to look for him, and the cat was sneaking around the house until midnight. ”

"Who are the people who came to him?" Jiang Yu Niang asked.

"I can't see it, from the outside, some of them look like merchants, some like workmen, dressed in all kinds of clothes, and have all kinds of accents, not like the natives. Just yesterday, a group of police officers suddenly came and arrested the guest staying at the hotel. At that time, Li Mei asked the police why she was arrested, but the police ignored her. I guess maybe since the last time Ge Yuan happened, the spies have paid more attention to our carriage and horse shop than before. In case of turmoil, surprise inspections are conducted. ”

Jiang Yuniang nodded, "In the future, you have to be more careful in the store, the last time Dagang was followed, it means that the enemy is always staring at us with wide eyes." ”

"By the way," Shi Suo suddenly remembered something, and asked with a smile: "Zhou Ping and Xiao Guo, how are they after worshipping the spy who got covered in mud?" Didn't the two of them go to see Brother Bai? ”

When he said this, everyone laughed, and Duan Laosan laughed and said, "I'm about to let them go to the city to visit the spies, it will not hurt to have some relationship in the future." ”

When Hu Xuan woke up, he turned his head to look out the window, it was pitch black, and it turned out to be night. He shouted "Oops", quickly got up and lit a candle, and saw a note in front of the bed, on which Juan Xiu's small characters were written: "There are buns in the kitchen." I don't go to girls' school anymore, I go to sleep in the big car shop. ”

A-Ning sometimes lives in a girls' school, and sometimes lives in a big car shop with Li Mei as a companion. Hu Shuan put down the note, felt a little pain in his head, and regretted drinking so much at noon. He washed his face, sobered up, walked into the courtyard, moved his body, and as soon as the courtyard door opened, Wang Daming walked in with a lantern.

Usually, Hu Xuan lives here most of the time, and also looks after the willow weaving society, but there are many goods in it, and one person is afraid that he will not be able to see it, so he usually arranges another person to be on night shift, and he is catching up with Wang Daming tonight.

"Are you awake? A-Ning said you drank too much, are you better? Wang Daming hung the lantern on the courtyard wall, took a handful of wicker from the storehouse, found a bench to sit in the courtyard, and scraped the wicker with a knife in the moonlight. (To be continued.) )
