Chapter Seventy-Eight: Cat Nine, Am I Late?

"You don't see, the end of the Han army, the weak crown is a captive, please Changying,

You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds!

The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let Confucianism miss this life?

The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting!

Abandon my old pen, and write my wartime,

More than 100,000 comrades sang war songs and joined the army.

Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the Japanese slaves!

Endure the affection and lightly cut off the homesickness, and generously hold out the patriotic ......"

The two of them walked up the hill of the street with each other's support, both of them were proud to finish singing and then made a mess of mud and fell to the ground, and because of the slope and the inability to struggle, they were still rolling down slowly and vividly. Song Da had successfully rolled to the bottom of the slope, half of his face was immersed in the edge of the ditch, and his mouth was muttering: ".... Cat Nine, am I late? ”

That Miantang looked at Song Da with complicated eyes, and then looked at me, and then the mud also softened. Bai Wei's beautiful little face instantly turned pale, and she didn't know whether it was cold or fear, her body wrapped in her coat trembled uncontrollably, "Brother Mian-", she grabbed the corner of Miantang's clothes, and there was a trilling voice in her tone, obviously terrified.

The bodyguards of the two families always have something to do - to help their master go back to the car, Bai Wei followed the car of the Miantang and waved to me, "Mao Jiu, I'll send you." ”

I waved my hand with a big grin, "I'll get home after a stroll, not far, it's windy and cool at night, get in the car quickly." ”

Song Da's guards were very dutiful to escort me back, "Miss, where are you going?" I told someone to follow. ”

I refused, "You don't need to bother, do you?" Because I wanted to enjoy the night view, the guard insisted, "No, it's too late, it's a messy year." ”

"Yours are there! You are only allowed to follow. "I can't resist this group of soldiers, so I have to confess the address.

When I was about to leave, Song Da and Na Miantang were drunk for eight minutes, Song Da was a little anxious, waved his hand, and struggled to send me. I looked at these two drunks and was speechless.

That Miantang, the drunkard, insisted that the car send Bai Wei away safely. Song Da, a drunkard, was basically drunk as soft as mud, and drinking was not something he was too used to, at this time, he patted Na Miantang's shoulder: "You calculated once, you know me first, pay attention to safety." ”

I vetoed the two of them at once, "I'll go by myself, it's only ten minutes when I get home, I don't want to smell the wine on you, it's all gone." ”

The early spring evening was still a little cool, and I walked home with the flow of people on the pedestrian street. On the sidewalk, a procession, the church choir, dressed in white robes, was running through the street. At the head of the group is a blonde and blue-eyed foreign woman, who is holding a few white roses in her hand, reflecting the delicate cross on the religious robe, looking very reverent. She came to me: Happy Christmas Eve! Help the orphans of the Young Christian Church and buy technical roses, which are not expensive, only two dollars!

I was about to say no because I didn't have a single point on me. Song Da's entourage gave her all the money in the wallet, and the foreigner was surprised and gave me all the roses left in his hand: God bless you!

I took a stick of roses and watched as she swept through the streets like a bird, blending into the white holy procession.

Suddenly, I felt my scalp tingle, and I felt danger, which I had learned from a long fight, maybe it was an innate instinct.

In the crowd, a few guys with crooked eyebrows and squinted eyes, although they didn't look at him, they were obviously leaning closer. I thought to myself, because I didn't offend anyone. I was still in a daze, and before I came back to my senses, the glass window of the café next to me "snapped". I threw myself to the ground against the conditions, and the crowd exploded, retreating like a low tide to a place where I could hide, like a street corner, like behind a billboard, like a dumpster. Suddenly, a strong arm pulled me along the corner of the wall and quickly ran backwards towards me, and the brim of the man's hat was pressed very low, and the place I was in immediately caused an explosion.

I didn't react yet, I just ran after him out of breath. Then there was a crackling sound, a woman's scream, a child's cry, a crowd's noise, and someone shouting, "Arrest." "Shot."

It was only then that I realized what an alley this street was, and now I realized that I was running from place to place, and soon I was far away from the sound of gunfire and shouting.

My heart almost stopped, and I panted and asked the person in front of me, "Brother ghost?" They're going to chase you, aren't they? ”

He hesitated for a moment, and without saying a word, he quickly pulled me into a corner, looked at me and said, "You are right here, wait a while before you go." I'm going to save Wu Youren. ”

I looked at Brother Ghost, and for the first time in many years, I looked at Brother Ghost carefully, and he was even more rugged, covered with wind and frost swords. I vaguely felt that the ghost brother was in an unsafe situation, and asked him urgently, "Didn't you work at night on the dock tonight?!" What the hell are you doing! ”

Brother Ghost blushed, so that a part of his personality was like this when he didn't plan to reveal the truth, "To protect Mr. Song, if you want revolution, there will be sacrifices!" I came home a few days late. ”

When I heard the words "revolution" and "sacrifice," I was already in a state of turmoil. Honest as a big buffalo, illiterate in a few big words, and a hard-working ghost brother can't be associated with these four words in his life. The gunshots are getting closer and closer, and I'm worried about what will happen to the ghost brother who runs out.

"What revolution? What exactly? Brother ghost, are you hiding something from me? Who is called Wu Tianyou? "I was anxious, and my expression was full of unease.

"He's just one of my dock workers, and I'll tell you some things slowly in the future, and I won't do anything hurtful."

Seeing him say so lightly, I was still uneasy, and before I could speak, I was interrupted by Brother Ghost: "It's a mess here, hide it, and come out when you don't hear the gunshots, ah." ”

The gunfire is getting closer.

I grabbed the ghost brother and told him to run east, "No matter what happens, they will never kill me, you run quickly, avoid the limelight and go home." Did they see what you looked like? ”

The ghost brother definitely said: "No, they didn't arrest me." ”

"Run!"

I ran towards the west, shouting as I ran, "There's someone here!" "The sound of gunfire came, and they chased after them as if they had gone crazy.

Running through the alley, a big hand covered my mouth and hugged me tightly in his arms: "Cat, don't bark, it's me." Hearing the voice of Na Miantang, my nervous heart relaxed, slumped in his arms, and my whole body trembled and said: "Save the ghost brother, they want to catch the ghost brother-"

Namiantang carried me out of the alley and covered my eyes, the landlord outside the café just now was already covered in dried blood.

As soon as we got out of the alley, we followed us to the pig killing gang of "praying mantis catching cicadas, and sparrows behind".

The Pig Killer Gang has a grudge against Hongmen, the reason is that the former hall master of Hongmen and the Pig Killer Gang collaborated with arms, after the hall master was killed, a batch of inventory was hijacked before the accident, although it may be that other gangs are in trouble with Hongmen, but this is really an indescribable bad debt. The Pig Killer Gang is also in between, and more importantly, recently, Na Miantang took all the difficulties out of necessity and burned all the red medicine (drugs made of opium, morphine and saccharin) on his concession territory, and this batch of goods happened to be stored by the Pig Killing Gang on the Hongmen Wharf, thus cutting off their financial route.

Their people wanted to do it today, but Song Guo, the instructor of the Songlu Army, was always by his side, and it was impossible for them to move with the military. But when they found out that they were separated, one of the women was alone in the street, and the first one pointed an axe at me: they are in a gang, catch this woman first! I happened to find out that the warning was catching*, and I happened to be caught as a hostage in the chaos, but I didn't want to catch the fat fish of Namiantang.

That Miantang presided over the Hongmen, as soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, there were often dangerous waves, but it was a common habit, he was alive in the rain of bullets, and he didn't pay attention to the conflict with the ruffians and hooligans, but this time it was different, I once again dragged him back.

That Miantang really acted, walked a few steps quickly and pulled the person closest to him, and shouted, brother, borrow!

A few guys were startled, and at the same time, they opened their clothes and swung their delicate little axes to chop them with their hands! Na Miantang couldn't dodge, rushed up, grabbed a short axe with his bare hands, and began to swing left and right.

The pig killing gang leader made an astonishing action, and the axe was as dense as a forest in one fell swoop. The more people go up, the more they seem. There was a sound of killing on the Shanghai Road, and that Miantang was tired of coping, protecting me, and he fought a bloody way.

He put down five people, the blood mist rose, the blood mist spread in the air, and the pig killing gang was even more excited to see the blood, forming an encirclement against us.

The Miantang hugged me, hugged my waist, and lifted my feet off the ground. The killer who rushed to the forefront immediately broke through the encirclement, dragging me for half a street, slowing down, and being surrounded by clusters, confronting each other on the street.

Fortunately, at this moment, the siren sounded, and the pig killing gang saw that the situation was not good, shouted and flashed, and the axes shot one after another, and beckoned to us with the sound of the wind, and threw about dozens of them. The Miantang shifted forward and backward blocks to a few handfuls, and in my exclamation, he hugged me and spun around sharply, and the killers had disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The police blew the whistle and ran, and Na Miantang didn't want to cause trouble, so he took advantage of the darkness to pull me all the way to trot and get on the tram. In the darkness, the two of us clasped hands together and heard each other's heartbeats. The police inquired below, but no one came to check the car. The tram started, and Namian Tang wrapped one arm around me. The brilliant street lamps flashed one by one, faintly reflecting the eyes of the Miantang, and there, I saw another Miantang, an extreme calmness and tenacity, a side I had never seen before.

He took me back to his house, which was a big mansion in the French Concession.

As soon as he entered the house, when the little brother saw the eldest brother returning, he said happily: "Little boss, it really made us die, and the pig killing gang released a word to give you color." Just now you didn't let your brother follow you, many of our brothers went to look for you, and there was just a fight on Shanghai Road! ”
