Chen Zikun and Lin Wenjing were talking in the house, Xing'er was eavesdropping outside the door with a kettle, and when she heard that Lin Wenjing's father was dead and her stepmother didn't let her continue her studies, tears quietly flowed, and her heart said that this girl is much more pitiful than me.

Xing'er is a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and has a cheerful personality, she opened the curtain and came in, and while pouring water and tea for Lin Wenjing, she said: "Miss Lin, you can stay, if we have a bite to eat, there will be yours, the tuition is not enough, let's make up, right, Da Kunzi." ”

Chen Zikun naturally knew Xing'er's intentions for herself, and she was a little surprised to hear her say this, so she nodded busily and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Lin Wenjing pursed her lips and said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, drink tea." Apricot greeted warmly.

"No, I have to go back quickly, the door is unlocked." Lin Wenjing got up to say goodbye, and Chen Zikun also got up: "I'll send you back." ”

"Wait." Xing'er turned around and went out, didn't take a lot of time to take a flashlight back, and said, "Sending someone to the door of the house, remember." ”

"Got it." Chen Zikun took the flashlight and accompanied Lin Wenjing, Xing'er was sent to the gate, looking at the backs of the two of them in the night, holding on to the door frame and sighing: "These two people are quite compatible." ”

Turning his face, Uncle Xue asked, "Xing'er, why are you crying?" ”

"Uncle Xue, you are talking nonsense, how can I cry, my eyes are in the sand."

……

Chen Zikun accompanied Lin Wenjing all the way back, in the Beijing Hutong at night, quiet and lonely, there was a sound of tofu brain selling in the distance, and a refreshing aroma hit, it was apricot blossoms.

I don't know whose yard is the apricot blossom tree, the branches stretch out of the yard, the snow-white apricot blossoms fall to the ground, like snowflakes, the moonlight is diffuse, the evening breeze is blowing, this scene is intoxicating.

Lin Wenjing stood still and muttered, "It's here, don't send it." ”

"Oh." Chen Zikun hurriedly stopped, wanting to say something but couldn't speak, the two just stood like this, and neither of them would go first.

"I ......" Chen Zikun stammered, scratched his ears and cheeks, wanted to say but was embarrassed to speak.

Lin Wenjing lowered her head and paddled her feet on the ground.

Suddenly, a voice came from the courtyard, and it seemed that two men were talking.

“…… Only by mobilizing peasants and workers can we fundamentally solve the problems that exist in China at present. ”

"Normal, you and I have the same opinion, only the revolution of the common people can save today's Chinese ......"

Chen Zikun then remembered that this was Mr. Li Dazhao's house, and the other person seemed to be Chen Duxiu, and their high-minded conversation broke the ambiguous atmosphere, Lin Wenjing said: "It's time for me to go home, see you the day after tomorrow." Then he ran to his door, pushed the door in and closed the door, but he lay down on the crack in the door and looked out, and his heart was pounding.

Chen Zikun seemed to be able to see himself, waved his hand at this side, turned around and disappeared into the night, Lin Wenjing bolted the door, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Aunt Mi and Lin Ma standing in front of him, with a frosty face.

"As soon as Daddy left, Nong was bold, right, he went out to the wild without saying hello, and if something happened to Nong, the door was not locked, what if the thief came in!" Aunt Mi just struck her head and covered her face, but she didn't ask Lin Wenjing what she was doing, and she didn't seem to care about this issue.

……

Zhaojia Hutong on Chang'an Street, Yao Mansion, the shiny black car stopped at the door, the servant stepped forward to open the car door, and the tired Yao Cichang got out of the car, shrugged his nose as soon as he entered the door, and asked, "What smell?" ”

The butler sniffed as well and replied, "It seems to have come from outside." ”

Vice Chief Yao's heart was on fire, and he ordered, "Go and see." ”

Yao Mansion is a European-style building, there are several bungalows outside the main building, specially for servants to live, the housekeeper brought two male servants to one of the rooms, knocked twice and pushed the door in, only to see that the courtyard in the house was half lying on the kang smoking opium, the small flame on the cigarette lamp was large, the martial artist smoked beautifully, looking at the expression, like soaring clouds and fog.

The housekeeper took a cold look and went out, and reported directly to Vice Chief Yao, saying that the nursing home was secretly smoking opium, Vice Chief Yao was a new person who had stayed abroad, and knew the harm of opium to the Chinese people, although he could not stop the spread of opium, but he could always control it in his own house, he immediately ordered: "Give him a month's money, drive him away, immediately!" ”

The housekeeper got the order and led people straight to the small bungalow, the martial artist didn't notice it, he was still lying on the kang and swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, and when he saw the housekeeper coming in, he asked with a smile: "Take a bite?" ”

"Pump! The master said, let you roll up and leave. The butler said coldly.

Now the martial artist panicked, being a nurse in Yao's house is a beautiful difference, there is not much work, there is a lot of money, the key is to have face, it will be difficult to find a good one after this job bowl is smashed, he hurriedly dropped the smoking gun and begged for mercy: "Don't dare next time, I really don't dare." ”

The housekeeper sneered: "I haven't said why I drove you away, you just said you don't dare, isn't this knowingly committed, everything else is easy to say, only smoking tablets, the old man can't rub the sand in his eyes, do you go by yourself, or will we help you?" ”

Although the martial artist is full of kung fu, he has no place in the Yao Mansion, he knows that if he dares to go wild, he will be arrested and sent to the police station immediately, so he begged: "Where can I go in the middle of the night, can't I go tomorrow?" ”

The housekeeper said: "I don't care where you go, the master said, right away!" ”

The martial artist said: "Then what about this month's salary, it should be settled." ”

The housekeeper said angrily: "It's nonsense, I'll call the patrol to chase you." ”

"Okay, the mountains don't turn around, we will have a period later!" In a fit of rage, the martial artist packed up his cigarette and bed, and left overnight.

Looking back at the dark mansion building, the martial artist stomped his feet, picked up his luggage and left, and went straight to Yan Zhiyong's house nearby.

Yan Zhiyong saw his old friend coming to the door with a bed cover, so he hurriedly arranged for the next place, and got a pot of two pots and a plate of peanuts to drink with him.

"Zhiyong, help me find me to work, brother, you know my ability, ordinary men, seven or eight people can't get close to me." Martial Artist Dao.

Yan Zhiyong smiled bitterly: "Big brother, of course I know your ability, but now I can't eat, brother, how can I help you find a job." ”

The martial artist's eyes dimmed, and he took the wine glass and dried it, bowing his head and sighing.

Yan Zhiyong said: "It's better to stay with me for one night first, and tomorrow I will accompany you to find Master Ma to see if you can find something to do." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it."

Early the next morning, Yan Zhiyong took the martial artist to the Ma family's mansion in the outer city to meet the old lady Ma Shihaima.

They came at a very bad time, the Ma family is busy with chickens and dogs, the knife Liu is right, the person who is clean can not eat, the poor second master misheard the words of Western medicine, the meal ate so much, the result was urine and urine contaminated the wound, high fever, delirium, several Chinese medicine doctors came to see and shook their heads, saying that the toxin invaded the body, there was no help, the Ma family Xiaoliu is a college student, it is recommended to invite Western medicine to inject and reduce inflammation, it happened that recently there were rumors that a member of the Ministry of Education was poisoned by taking the medicine prescribed by Western medicine, so that no one in the family dared to believe in Western medicine.

Seeing that the second master was about to return to the west, and the third master was still squatting in the detention center, Mrs. Ma checked up and down, and finally got the letter, this case was strictly handled by Wu Bingxiang, and no one dared to slack off, I am afraid that the third master's prison disaster will be inevitable, and spending a few thousand yuan may be able to reduce the sentence of two years, and live in it comfortably.

The only thing that is gratifying is that the matter of Lao Wu's dismissal has become visible, and thousands of oceans have been smashed out, and Li Dingbang promised that the official would be reinstated within three months.

At this moment, Yan Zhiyong brought people to join in the fun, how could he have a good face, he didn't even enter the door and let the housekeeper block it, the two were just about to leave, and it happened that the fifth child came back from outside, and they happened to meet.

"Isn't this Senior Brother Yan, yo, Lao Yan is also here, this is a rare guest, aren't you in the courtyard of Vice Minister Yao's mansion? How did you get here? "Lao Wu is a patrol officer, naturally exquisite, and people from all religions and nine streams know him, Lao Yan is the nickname of this martial artist, and it was because of his habit of smoking opium that he got such a title.

Yan Zhiyong hurriedly smiled: "Fifth master, is this such a thing......" After telling the ins and outs, Ma Lao Wu said: "I see, let's go, I'll put the wine to the old smoke to startle." ”

The three of them found a restaurant, ordered six dishes, two pots of wine, and talked about changing the glass, but there was only one topic, and scolded Yao Cichang for being unkind.

accompanied and scolded, and seeing that the old cigarette and alcohol were high, Ma Lao Wu hit the railway while it was hot: "Old Yan, I heard that you have a brother named Heifeng who is a big dealer." ”

Although Lao Yan drank too much, his mind was still clear, Ma Lao Wu said that the black wind was indeed his sworn brother, who had practiced martial arts together in his early years, and later heard that he had entered the green forest as a bandit, specializing in killing people and goods, and the police department had posted a lot of notices wanted for him.

He was agitated and quickly shook his head: "I haven't seen the black wind for a long time." ”

Ma Lao Wu smiled: "Brother, don't be afraid, I shouldn't be bad now, so I don't care about those, in fact, Heifeng is very righteous, robbing the rich and helping the poor, doing the right thing for heaven, he is a man, I heard that he has been active in Beijing recently." ”

Lao Yan didn't dare to pick up the stubble, but his heart was alive, he was resigned by Yao Cichang, the matter of smoking opium must be publicized, no one will hire him as a bodyguard to protect the hospital, a body of martial arts, do you want to sell coolies and eat rice! has reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, why not take risks, follow the example of Heifeng, and live a happy life of licking blood from the knife edge and being happy with revenge.

After drinking, Ma Lao Wu settled the bill, gave Lao Yan another ten yuan, and went away with a fist, Yan Zhiyong asked Lao Yan: "Senior brother, what are your plans?" ”

"Let's go back to my hometown." Old Yan said pretendically.

"It's okay, I'll send you." Yan Zhiyong sent the old cigarette out of Yongding Gate, and the two said goodbye in tears.

……

Ziguang Depot, Chen Zikun was busy vacating the room and cleaning, Aunt Wang and Xing'er helped him clean up together, and cleaned up the west wing, with a desk, basin stand, mirror, and a brand new quilt, neatly placed on the bed.

A few white apricot blossoms were inserted in a white porcelain vase and placed in front of the window, Chen Zikun took a deep breath and was relaxed.

Suddenly, Xue Pingshun's voice sounded: "Da Kunzi, phone, looking for you." ”
