"Huzi! Why are you here? ”

Huzi was thinking about where to go to eat, when he suddenly heard someone shouting to him in the distance behind him, and when he looked back, it was Tachibana Jinze, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

Huzi is now working for the group, and it is inevitable that he will be a little weak when he sees Tachibana Jinze. After all, the regiment in the northeast has taken it as its duty to deal with these foreigners. Strictly speaking, if you are so close to a Japanese, you can be regarded as a traitor in the definition of the group.

But since they met by chance on the street, they couldn't help but go up to say hello, and if they left in a hurry, it would be even more suspicious.

"Hey, Tachibana Kanazawa." Huzi approached and greeted Tachibana Kanazawa, "I'll go into the city to do some things for my father." Now that I'm done, I'm looking for a place to eat. ”

Tachibana Kanazawa didn't notice Huzi's abnormality, and he didn't associate it in that direction. He still smiled like that: "It's better to meet by chance, since you don't have lunch, it's better to be together." ”

"Okay," Huzi agreed very happily, "Why don't you agree if you have food?" Okay, it has to be a good restaurant, you have to take the money, I don't have that much on me. ”

Tachibana Kanazawa smiled and nodded in agreement, made a "please" gesture, and came to the restaurant side by side with Torako. Looking up at the signboard, Huzi was startled: "Oh my mother, you don't need to spend so much!" ”

It turned out that Huzi and Tachibana Kanazawa came to Songhe Tower. It's not that Huzi hasn't eaten here, it's just that those times are more special. Once it was a squire gathering, Mr. Peng was invited to be there to see feng shui, and Huzi accompanied him, and he didn't eat anything. The second time, before the brothers assassinated Andre, they took this meal as a severed head meal, ordered a lot of delicious food, and ate it with Zhao Yueyue.

Normally, Huzi can't even remember this place. In his opinion, this is a place for those rich squires of the Eight Banners to eat, and ordinary people can't afford to come at all. A bowl of pork can cost the price of a pig, and a pot of wine dares to ask for two dollars of silver! What is the concept of two coins? It's not a drop-off, an ordinary catcher who works in the government office is only five dollars a month.

Tachibana Jinze stretched out his hand and dragged Huzi: "I haven't seen you for a long time, since I want to treat you, I naturally want to choose a better place." I don't usually spend money, so in my opinion, it's not a cost, please. ”

Inside, Tachibana Kanazawa glanced at the guy in the store, who hurried to the back kitchen. There was no need to be greeted, Tachibana Kanazawa walked in the head, did not stop in the hall at all, and took Huzi straight to a private room on the third floor, obviously a frequent visitor here.

As soon as he arrived at this private room, Huzi was dumbfounded again—he had never seen anything like this with his own eyes. The door of this private room was opened horizontally, and the floor was covered with thick straw mats, and there were no chairs, except for four small cushions on either side of a low table.

Huzi knew this kind of layout, and he had seen something similar in the Western paintings of the foreign films, which were in the style of the Orientals. What is certain is that before the Japanese came, there would not have been such a private room in the Matsuru Tower. To put it bluntly, this private room is specially prepared for those Japanese.

How many Japanese are there in Changtu Castle? Huzi doesn't know an exact number, but it is estimated that there are only two or three hundred people, and there will be no more. But Songhelou has specially prepared a private room in the style of their hometown for them, and it can be said that in order to appease these Japanese, the owner of Songhelou is also painstaking.

Sitting on both sides, Tachibana Jinze is in a kneeling position, and the red boy who does not leave his body is placed on the ground on the left hand side. Huzi felt uncomfortable kneeling, so he sat cross-legged opposite Tachibana Kanazawa, just like on the kang at home.

Seeing that Huzi was so casual, Tachibana Jinze also smiled and said, "Do you still like the style here?" ”

Huzi scratched his head and looked up and down. From the wall to the lantern, there was no place up and down that looked familiar with the decoration style he usually saw, Huzi pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, it's interesting." This is what your hometown looks like? ”

Tachibana shook his head and said, "Plausible." However, this is in the Qing Dynasty, and it is rare to see such a place that can evoke my nostalgia, so I also like it here. ”

Huzi nodded and didn't say anything. He could imagine the sorrow of Tachibana Kanazawa who had been away from home for so many years, but it was difficult to empathize. After all, I have never traveled far, and I don't know how homesick I am. Thinking about it, there is such a place in Changtu Mansion, which is actually not bad. It's just a private room in a restaurant, which is much more economical than the churches built by foreigners.

After a while, the door was opened. A woman dressed in Oriental costume walked in with a dinner plate. He put the various small plates on the table, and then knelt down to the side and poured wine for the two of them.

Huzi squinted his eyes and looked carefully, only to confirm that the woman in front of him with a face as white as paper and lips as red as blood was a human and not a ghost - but with heavy makeup. And she is not a real Oriental woman, but a native of the Qing Dynasty. After all, Huzi had never heard of a foreigner who bound his feet.

"Let's try it," Tachibana Kanazawa ignored the woman who came in, "Although these dishes are not made from the taste of my hometown, it is good to be able to eat them." It is said that the owner of Songhelou went to Shengjing to learn from our Japanese chefs. However, it seems that he is not a good learner. ”

Huzi stretched out his chopsticks and put the dish in his mouth, only to find that it was no wonder that the fish was bright in color, it turned out to be raw! However, it is covered by various spices, but it is not too strong and fishy, but reveals the delicious taste of the fish.

"It tastes good!" Huzi sighed, "It's just that this amount is a little small, you look at these plates and plates, all of them are not big, how many plates do you have to eat to be full?" ”

Tachibana Kanazawa still smiled and said, "Such a delicate dish is not for the sake of satisfying the stomach, tasting the food itself is a pleasure, and it is even more so to carefully taste the exquisite food." ”

Huzi waved his hand and said to the woman kneeling beside him: "You help me to serve a bowl of rice, and then cut some cured meat, and I will eat it, otherwise I won't be full." ”

The woman didn't look up the whole time, just whispered a "Hai", then stood up and slowly retreated.

"Is Miss Zhao Yueyue's situation better now?" Seeing Huzi feasting on his rice bowl, Tachibana Kanazawa suddenly asked.

Huzi hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded: "It's not better, it's all good!" The yellow girl woke up. ”

Tachibana Kanazawa was stunned for a moment. Originally, he asked this sentence, but it was only a courtesy inquiry. After all, Zhao Yueyue has been in a coma for so long, and even Western doctors are helpless, and Tachibana Kanazawa doesn't think that Zhao Yueyue can suddenly get better. Hearing Huzi say this, he was puzzled in his heart and asked, "Miss Yueyue, how did you wake up?" ”

Huzi said nonsense without blinking his eyes: "Master Mengzu is pitiful, and he can't see that the sixteenth generation eldest disciple and daughter-in-law of my ghost family can't wake up, so he gave me a dream, saying that I will go to incense and bow 10,000, and let Huang Yatou wake up." I used my dead horse as a live horse doctor, kowtowed to the patriarch's tablet for 10,000 years, and my daughter-in-law woke up! ”

Huzi is deliberate, and if he says something false, the other party will know that it is a joke, haha, laugh, and will not delve into it. Sure enough, Tang Jinze waved his hand and didn't ask again, promising to go up the mountain to visit Zhao Yueyue one day. Huzi also agreed, saying that when the time came, he would make some game and invite Tachibana Kanazawa back. It's just that he has to let his Shikijin inform in advance, so that he can be prepared.

This hand has to be guarded against. Now that the temple has become the contact point of the revolutionary party, it would be interesting if Tachibana Kanazawa accidentally met with the people of the group. Although he may not know the true identity of the members, it is troublesome to act in a play on the spot and pretend that something else is not in line. It's different to call those gods to report, there are various formations in the Sun Temple, and those gods have to get permission to come in safe and sound, and they will always leave some preparations for the ghost family.

The reason why he didn't directly refuse Tachibana Kanazawa was that he didn't want Tachibana Kanazawa to be more suspicious. Although Huzi is not deeply involved in the world now, Mr. Peng's words and deeds have already given him a bit of the taste of the old rivers and lakes.

The gossip was brought over, and it was said that the two of them chatted during the banquet, and the guests enjoyed the meal. When they got out, two teenagers and two Japanese in suits and leather shoes met each other.

Why does Torako recognize him as Japanese at a glance? Because these two people don't have braids. The law of the Qing Dynasty, without braids, is the fault of killing the head. So these two people with their back hair can only be Japanese.

Tachibana Kanazawa looked pleasantly surprised, stepped forward to talk to the two of them in Japanese, and from time to time stretched out his finger and pointed at the tiger twice. Huzi didn't understand what it had to do with him. But he saw Tachibana Kanazawa come back and said to him, "Come! I happened to meet him, so let Mr. Reporter take a picture of us. ”

Tachibana Kanazawa explained again, and Huzi understood that one of the two was a reporter who took pictures from the newspaper. This time, I came to the Japanese garrison in Changtu Province to cover the Japanese troops stationed there. As a military officer, it is not difficult for Tachibana Kanazawa to ask for a photo.

Huzi has never taken a photo, he only knows that it doesn't seem to be cheap to take a photo, so he is also very curious about this thing. He had heard that taking pictures is a very solemn thing, and many big families will take a photo when they do major events such as birthdays, and they must be dressed up and dressed appropriately.

So Huzi pulled Tachibana Kanazawa and asked, "Is it okay for me to dress like this?" It's just casual. Why don't I come back to you one day when I'm getting ready? ”

Tachibana Kanazawa slapped Huzi on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what kind of dress you are, it's just a photo." If you don't think it's appropriate, it's never too late to come back another day wearing a good outfit. But at that time, we were going to the photo studio, and it was rare for Mr. Reporter to be there, so let him do me a favor. ”

Huzi thought about it, anyway, it didn't cost money, so he stood at the gate of Songhe Tower with Tachibana Jinze. One of the two Japanese took out a small two-fist machine from the box he was carrying, and a bowl-like thing with a handle. As the reporter fiddled, the two stood side by side, and after a flash of light, Tachibana Kanazawa stepped forward and said something to the reporter that Huzi couldn't understand.

"That's it?" Huzi asked.

"Well, that's fine." Tachibana nodded, "When the photo is developed, I'll give you one as a souvenir." ”

"Okay! Well, don't be repaid! Huzi also felt very happy, but he had a photo of himself.

The two said goodbye, and Huzi rushed back to the mountain.
