The woman's hair was combed smoothly, with a curl at the back, tied with silk flowers, and she wore a purple cheongsam with sequins and a plain shawl. The costume is a little thick, very much like the feeling of the advertising painting of the Republic of China, blush, eyeshadow and red lips.

If you talk about her appearance alone, it doesn't quite match Muyang's aesthetics, this woman's cheekbones are slightly high, and her lips are a little thin, giving people a somewhat stubborn feeling.

"Miss Mansha, I don't know what you're thinking about, I believe you can feel my feelings for you, I'm going to serve in the next wing, I hope you give me an answer." The Japanese officer said to the woman.

"Staff Officer Takahashi, I have already said that we are not suitable, I am just a singer, we are not compatible." The woman said in a flat tone, but her eyes looked into the distance.

"I don't care, I don't care if you're a singer, I like you now and want you to be my wife." Takahashi said affectionately.

Hearing this, Muyang felt that he might have eaten too much meat, and he was a little sick to his stomach, and he had the urge to laugh, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.

It's really a bloody plot, that woman obviously doesn't like to take care of you, and she keeps talking about love there, which is completely wrong.

Staff Officer Takahashi said a lot, but the Chinese woman always ignored her expression, and in the end, the two of them didn't eat anything at all, and left the rooftop.

Seeing such an interesting drama of chasing women in the Republic of China, watching these people who have become ancients, re-stage a scene that was once real in front of you, Muyang always felt very awkward, he stood by the handrail and looked at the night scene outside, feeling that he still did not regard himself as a part of this era, he was watching them from the perspective of God, and their joys, sorrows, and sorrows were unreal and illusory in their own eyes, just like the Buddhists said, "like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity."

This is a sentence at the end of the Diamond Sutra, "All things have a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such." To put it simply, "all phenomena made up of conditions are illusory, like dream bubbles, like dew and lightning, and the world should be seen as such."

In other words, all the phenomena and things in the world that are caused by the combination of causes and conditions are temporary, and they are as unreal as a dream bubble.

Recruiting a waiter, Muyang said "check out".

"It's 80 yen, Your Excellency." The waitress replied with a bow.

Muyang pretended to touch himself, and then said with annoyance: "I forgot to bring my wallet when I went out, what should I do, can I ask your staff here to go with me to get it." ”

In fact, Mu ** has no money, he only has a dozen oceans on him.

"Ah, then, let me ask our manager." The waitress leaves.

The kung fu was not much, a middle-aged man in a black suit and a small white bow tie trotted over, bowed to Muyang, and then said: "I'm very sorry sir, I'm the manager on the third floor, Matsumao Yamashita, I already know your situation, this meal is a treat in our restaurant, you don't have to pay the bill, thank you very much for coming to our restaurant to eat." He said another ninety-degree bow.

Muyang was originally going to repay the debt, but he thought about it, at most put the command knife here, and it was estimated that he would be able to get out, but he didn't expect the hotel to be sensible, and he didn't want money. However, he still asked suspiciously, "Are you really not going back with me to get the money?" ”

"No need, Your Excellency Nakasa, we have a treat in our restaurant for this meal." The manager said in a very affirmative tone.

"Alright then, I'm going to go to the second floor ballroom, and if there's anything, you can go to the second floor to find me." After saying that, he took back his gloves and hat and went downstairs.

After the manager saw Muyang leave, he secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead, in fact, Muyang didn't know that there had been several incidents here where officers did not give money for meals, and the final result was that the restaurant manager was beaten, and then the officer left directly, and then the restaurant manager was fired. He doesn't want to end up like this, so let's send these unreasonable guys away.

Coming to the dance hall on the second floor, Muyang felt like he was in a movie, the tall and spacious hall, the bright neon lights were shining, the jazz music was different, the southern country was bold, the northern style was chic, and the air was filled with the smell of foreign perfumes.

The area here is enough to cover thousands of square meters, in front of which is a large stage with gorgeous decorations, a singer is singing a song that Muyang has not heard, it is still early at this time, but a lot of people have gathered, it seems that people have accumulated a day's enthusiasm, are ready to release here.

If you only look here, you can't see that it was in the war period, people wore suits, smoked cigars and held wine glasses, and kept greeting and chatting with acquaintances, which became a Vanity Fair and a social circle.

In addition to dancers and businessmen, the most likely thing here is an officer wearing a Japanese military uniform, Muyang's appearance is not very abrupt, he walked straight to a seat in the middle, took the wine from the waiter, and slowly appreciated the style here.

There are more and more people, not much better than the dance halls of later generations, and suddenly, Muyang saw a somewhat lonely figure, sitting alone at a table drinking wine, it turned out to be the Takahashi staff officer who failed to confess.

Mu Yang's eyes rolled, he picked up his wine glass and came directly to Takahashi's table, and said to Takahashi: "We meet again." ”

"Ah, yes, meet again." Takahashi stood up and said, facing an officer who was one level higher than himself, Takahashi did not dare to slack off.

"Are you alone, just so we can talk together." Muyang said very familiarly.

"Yes, please take a seat, my name is Takahashi Shisuke, a senior staff officer of the General Staff of the 27th Army of the Army, and I don't know where His Excellency Nakasa is serving." As he spoke, he picked up a cigarette from the table and handed it to Muyang with both hands.

Muyang took the cigarette, and Takahashi hurriedly took out a match and lit it for Muyang.

"Takanao Yamada, serving in the infantry brigade of the 16th Division, was responsible for garrisoning several county towns in North China." Muyang puffed out a puff of smoke and replied vaguely.

"Ah, it turned out to be His Excellency Captain Yamada." Takahashi looked more respectful.

In the Japanese army, the most powerful is the military commander of each unit, and the staff officer, even if he is a senior staff officer, if he wants to be transferred to a combat unit, he will be demoted, and if Takahashi is delegated to the army, he will be used as a squadron leader at most, and may even be a squad leader, so in the face of the actual captain, Takahashi has to respect it.

"You served in the staff of the 27th Division? I and Chief of Staff Kutaro Sekine of the 27th Division are fellow villagers in Akita Prefecture, and I have visited him many times before, so I wonder if Chief of Staff Sekine is in Tianjin. Muyang directly made up a relationship.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff Kutaro Sekine is still in Tianjin, he was promoted to the rank of major general in March this year, and he is still the chief of staff of the 27th Division, it turns out that Your Excellency and Your Excellency the Chief of Staff are fellow villagers, and Your Excellency the Chief of Staff will hold a birthday banquet tomorrow, I wonder if Your Excellency Yamada will also attend?" Takahashi asked respectfully.

When Muyang heard the news, he thought about it in his heart, originally he planned to use Yamada's identity or find another Japanese officer in Tianjin, disguised as to go to the military headquarters to see the division commander of the 27th Division, Ochiai Shikuro or Chief of Staff Sekine Kutaro, and now this Takahashi staff officer sent him a message, it seems that he can go directly to Sekine Kutaro's home, instead of going to the Japanese military headquarters, so that it will be much safer, at least if he is found running, he will not be surrounded by heavy troops.

Muyang showed joy on his face and said, "Yes, since you know the news, then you must visit Guan Genjun tomorrow, by the way, will you go tomorrow." ”

"Yes, I was also invited to go to pay my respects."

"When is the birthday party?" Muyang asked.

"Tomorrow at noon, at the chief of staff's residence." Takahashi Shisuke replied.

"Our acquaintance today is really fate, Takahashi, let's have a drink together." Mu Yang raised his glass and said.

"I respect Your Excellency Yamada." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass with both hands, respectfully touched the head under the Muyang cup, and then drained the wine in the cup in one gulp.

At this time, the lights on the stage were shining, the loud trumpet sounded, and a middle-aged man in a gorgeous suit walked to the microphone in the middle of the stage and said loudly in a slightly exaggerated tone: "We meet here again tonight, the joyful moment is about to begin, please prepare your flowers and applause, and please invite the most beautiful female star tonight, Miss Mansha, to present us tonight's opening song." ”

Everyone in the audience stopped chatting and walking around, and applauded one after another.

"Looks like Miss Mansa is very popular?" Muyang looked at Takahashi and asked.

Takahashi's expression darkened, and he said, "Yes, he is the queen of Santa Anna's song, and he has the most beautiful singing voice. ”

The band on the stage began to play the music, and I saw that Miss Mansha had changed her outfit, walked to the center of the stage, put one hand on the microphone, and began to sing.

"I'm waiting for you to come back, I'm waiting for you to come back.

I miss you coming back, I miss you coming back.

Wait for you to come back to make me happy, wait for you to come back and let me care......

If you don't come back, the spring is no more, and you don't come back with tears on your cheeks.

The swallows on the beam have returned, and the spring flowers in front of the court will bloom for you. ”

Takahashi was fascinated by it, but Muyang felt that there was a bit of laziness and sadness in this song, maybe this Mansha song queen already had her own lover in her heart, but she had already left him.
