As I spoke, I held out my hand to Lulu, "Okay, let's pull the hook, whoever breaks the oath will be a puppy." ”

Lulu also reached out to me as she was told, and it was only hooked with my little finger. At the end, he burst into tears and laughed: "Okay, as long as we don't leave as before, I'm not afraid of anything." ”

At that moment, her expression and language were full of sincerity, which made me a little confused, was it because I was seriously suspicious, but I fell into someone else's plan to divide me?

In short, at the moment, the estrangement between Lulu and I suddenly disappeared and reconciled, and the two of them temporarily let go of the mustard in their hearts and entered the dream with a rare ease. And that day, I had not seen for a long time and had no dreams, and I slept very sweetly until the third pole of the sun.

At ten o'clock, the announcement, which had been silent for a long time, finally lived up to expectations, and everyone was allowed to complete their washing and breakfast under supervision, and gather in the auditorium before eleven o'clock to receive their personal equipment and specific operational tasks.

Lulu stretched and looked very excited: "I can't wait to know my mission, what kind of identity do you think we will be assigned?" Central bankers? Popular dancers? Or a movie star? ”

Christina shrugged: "You have to understand that the essence of our mission is to find the communists hidden in the concession, not to find out the news of the consulate, and there is no need to go in and out of those well-dressed social occasions. I guess our identities must be mundane and indispensable, and we can go deep into every alley to investigate the suspicious new occupants. ”

Before we could finish our conversation, the guard at the door urged us to leave. I took one last look at the dormitory, and it was the first time I'd left since I came here. In addition to anticipation and apprehension, there is also some faint reluctance. However, the biggest hope in my heart is still to complete the task as soon as possible, finish the course early, and regain my life.

By the time we had completed everything and gotten our tasks and equipment, Lulu's dissatisfaction was already palpable. Christina and I exchanged a look helplessly, and to be honest, I was also very helpless, after working hard for so long, I finally returned to the beginning, and threw myself into action as an ordinary college student. Lulu and Christina were my classmates, and they were the same age, smelled the same, and lived their lives in the same way as they normally did.

We took a few personal luggage and arrived at the destination of the operation in the afternoon, Qingyuanli. It is not a high-end alley, but it has a large population, and it is said that there are more than 2,000 households and nearly 5,000 people living in it. Whether it is a female teacher from Belarus, a Jew who has fled to Shanghai, and even a Japanese, they all live in peace. Because the alley is deep and tortuous, and the various characters who come and go every day are very complex, Cao Wuxian and An Ran also took this place as one of the hidden targets of Gu Zuoyan.

When we went upstairs, we happened to meet Mr. Wu, a teacher who lived on the ground floor, and Mrs. Su, a housewife on the third floor, and the two of them greeted us very warmly.

The three of us discussed it for a long time, and found out that Christina was the only one with more life experience, so tonight's dinner had to be made by her own hands, and Lulu and I were on the side to help her. Lulu volunteered to burn the briquette stove, and in order to make the fire in the furnace burn more vigorously, she couldn't make out blowing air into the furnace with her mouth. In an instant, a cluster of flames burst out of it, and although Lulu was in a hurry to dodge, a pinch of bangs on the side of her cheek didn't make a move, emitting a burst of burnt smell.

Mrs. Su, who was busy on the side, was so frightened that she hurriedly put down the work in her hand and rushed over, seeing that although Lulu was frightened, she actually didn't have any wounds, so she was slightly relieved. Her tone was stern and full of care, just like the elders around her who had a knife mouth and a tofu heart: "Okay, okay, go wash your face first, and then fix the ends of your hair, and you'll be fine." Fortunately, you hid quickly, if you really got burned, such a beautiful face would be broken. ”

Lulu listened to her words and hugged her very gratefully, wiped her tears and went upstairs to freshen up. Christina and I looked at each other, and the good kitchen was so smoky that we didn't dare to speak for a while. Mrs. Su's tone softened: "Okay, come on, you foreigners must be pampered at home, where did you do these things." You put the food here, and I'll take it away for you when it's ready. You go back to rest and do your homework, and you must be tired after a busy day. ”

Christina hurriedly said politely: "It's okay, it's okay, Su Jiamu's mother, we can do it ourselves." Let's clean up this place first, and we'll be fine in a minute......"

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao, who was chatting with Mrs. Su just now, couldn't help but ask: "Okay, come on, everyone is a neighbor, upstairs and downstairs electric lights and telephones, what's so polite." If you're embarrassed, just help us pick these vegetables and wash them, and we'll do the fire and knives. You little girls who haven't left the pavilion, we are all called cousins there, and we want to entertain you like distinguished guests, where can you do it yourself. ”

I knew that they were enthusiastic, so I didn't want to slap their kindness: "Okay, we won't be polite." Now that we've made such a big deal, I'm teaching you to clean up the mess, and if Mother Alam knows, she will definitely miss me. "These days, I have been speaking official dialect, and when I speak Shanghainese that I haven't spoken for a long time, it is like a world away.

While we were choosing dishes, we chatted with Mrs. Su and Mrs. Zhao, and our feelings for each other became much closer. When I saw that the time was ripe, I asked: "Life in the alley is still the most comfortable, they all say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, without your help, I am afraid that the fire warehouse will not be able to open today." ”

Mrs. Zhao was straightforward: "Oh, how can you be so polite." Ala's son works at the central bank, so he rents an apartment nearby, and he usually doesn't come back. Su Jiamu's mother's daughter married to Lao Minhang, and she couldn't laugh when she came back to see her once a month. It's rare that there are so many young girls in the building, and we all like them as our own children. ”

Christina seems to be just pulling the chord: "Oh? Isn't it usually rare for people to come here? ”

Mrs. Zhao looked left and right vigilantly, and her voice lowered: "That's not true, a few young people just moved in the pavilion on the second floor not long ago, and they seem to be running to the dock, and we don't usually talk to us." There are Jews, Indians, Belarusians and even Japanese who come and go in the alleys every day, just like the United Nations. But everyone looked up and didn't look down, at most they said hello, and they didn't dare to really make friends with them. ”
