Tracing the Sacred Spring Chapter 7 Wanted Criminals
Out of the gate of "Yiyuan Zhai", I found that it was already bright outside, so I decided to eat something to pad my stomach first, and then go to Chaotian Palace to find Zhao Toad, and walked around the outside of Confucius Temple, and finally found a small shop that has not yet closed. I walked into the plastic tent and asked the boss what was delicious, and he said that breakfast had already passed, and the soup dumplings and wontons had been bought by the people who were on the morning shift. The only thing I can eat now is duck blood vermicelli soup, but there are not a few vermicelli left in his shop, so I might as well get a bowl of duck offal. I said okay, you can bring me a bowl of sea and add more chili peppers. The boss took out a bottle of red spice from the cabinet and said, "Nanjing people, only chili oil." Do you want it? ”
I said, "What do you like, I've been hungry all night, and if I don't eat something for a while, I'll faint from hunger, and you have to carry me to the hospital, how troublesome." ”
As soon as the steaming duck offal was served, the worms in my stomach began to churn, and before I could move the chopsticks, saliva was already flowing out. The boss saw that I was really hungry, so he sandwiched another fritter to me: "I was too busy in the morning to eat." I'll close the stall and go home in a while, my wife will make lunch and wait for me, you can keep this fritters. ”
I hurriedly took it and took a big bite, the fritter boss had been heating on the stove and it was already soft, but it still tasted just as good. I dipped the duck offal soup in fried dough sticks to compliment the boss: "Your soup is really good, no wonder business is booming." ”
The noodle boss shook his head: "Usually there are no less than 20 food stalls along the street of Confucius Temple, which is my turn to prosper, mainly because there was an accident in the archway square last night, and they didn't dare to come out of the stall in the morning." ”
"What's the matter, the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau are here?"
"Silly, huh? Have you ever heard of a government agency where people get up at night to work? The boss licked his lips and leaned over to my table and whispered, "It's a haunted fight, and several people have died." When it was not dawn, the fire brigade drove the big red truck and rushed for more than half an hour to clean the road. ”
He was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, so he added: "I didn't lie to you, my family lives behind the Confucius Temple." At about two o'clock last night, a group of live haunters came out of nowhere, cutting all the way from the entrance of the Confucian Temple to the main square. Not only watermelon knives, but they also have this ......" noodle boss compared a "eight" figure under the table.
As soon as I heard that those people had pistols, I instinctively asked, "You read that right?" Is this really it? You don't think you need this thing to fight with the thugs, do you? ”
The boss recalled that there must have been a gun in the end, because he was woken up by the sound of gunfire at first, and at first he thought it was someone setting off firecrackers. "I don't think they're any ordinary live haunters, and one of them is an old man with a mink hat who fights very hard. Perhaps, they're all spies. The more the noodle boss spoke, the more excited he became, and he held my hand and said excitedly: "Oh, why didn't I think of it, I think they are spies." These imperialist lackeys wanted to steal intelligence from our Nanjing Military Region, and last night it was just a small exercise. Oh, comrade, should I go to the neighborhood committee to report the situation? ”
I vaguely felt that this matter had nothing to do with "Yiyuan Zhai", and I was about to ask him more details, but I saw two big caps walking towards this side, and the boss immediately patted me on the shoulder and asked me not to say much. I thought to myself that this matter had nothing to do with me, and they just asked me, and I couldn't say why. I was about to bow my head to drink the soup, but I didn't expect one of the big caps with a flat face and round body to sit directly in front of me and ask straight to the point: "Excuse me, is it Comrade Hu Bayi?" ”
My heart is broken, I just came out of the black shop, and my ass is not hot yet, and the government has come to the door. However, I also had a fluke mentality, thinking that it might be looking for me for something else, not necessarily about the topic of "Yiyuan Zhai". He simply continued to drink the soup, and waited until a bowl of duck offal was gone, and then looked up and asked him what was wrong. The attitude of this people's policeman was particularly cordial, and he said with a smile: "May I ask if you know a comrade named Zhao Dabao, a middle-aged man in his thirties, slightly chubby, and a scar on his head. ”
As soon as I heard that I was looking for Zhao Toad, I replied: "There is such a person, he is my friend, and he visited the Confucius Temple yesterday, but then he got separated." ”
The big cap nodded: "The situation is like this, Comrade Zhao Dabao was very anxious after he was separated from you, and registered the missing person at our police station." Do you have time to come with us and get rid of the records? ”
There is a problem when I hear this, Zhao Toad is watching me enter the "Yiyuan Zhai", if he wants to find me, just squat at the door for a while, why bother to go to the police station? Besides, the Confucius Temple is such a big boundary, and I don't have a name engraved on my forehead, and the front foot is out of the "Yiyuan Zhai" and the back foot is called for you to meet, which is too unreasonable. I suspect that these two people are not police officers at all, and I am even a little worried that Zhao Toad has been murdered by them. But at the moment, there is no evidence, and it is inconvenient to come with them, so I had to make up a reason, saying that there is an urgent matter, and I will go to their police station in the afternoon.
The faces of the two changed on the spot, and one of them still held the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Comrade Bayi It's better to go with us, lest your brother miss it." As he spoke, he threw a small brass pendant from his pocket. I knew at a glance that something had happened to Zhao Toad. He told me all the way on the train about the origin of this amulet, when he was young and ignorant, he went to wade in the dead man's river at the head of the village, and almost couldn't come back. After being rescued by the villagers, he had a high fever and burned his head. In the end, his mother knelt down and knocked nine times to go to the Guanyin Temple to ask for a bronze talisman for him, so that the dirty things in the water were suppressed. This Guanyin talisman he carried with him, when he was on the train, I wanted to borrow it and take a look at it twice, but he didn't agree, but now it fell into the hands of two strangers, it seems that Zhao Toad's current situation is very bad.
The other party threatened Zhao Toad's life, there is a way that a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, I have no other way but to go with them. The two of them led me into a remote alley, whistled into the alley, and after a while a Hongqi car slowly drove out of the corner. The two of them sandwiched me between the left and the right and motioned for me to get in the car. I didn't want to talk to them much, so I sat in the passenger seat. Before he could sit down, the driver wearing a cap suddenly rushed out with a throttle and threw out the two big caps that were about to get into the car. I didn't even have time to close the door and almost fell out. When I looked at the driver again, I almost laughed out loud.
"You kid, why did you get here?"
“**! Do you dare to ask, if it weren't for you kid, Lao Tzu would have been arrested and beaten in the middle of the night! The cap uncovered his hat, pointed to the black mushy eye socket and said, "Damn, those bastards, Zhao Ye's eyes almost ruined them." ”
When I saw that Zhao Toad had been beaten into a panda, I couldn't help it, knowing that it was all the trouble I caused him, so I quickly took out the bronze talisman to comfort him. Zhao Toad saw that it was his baby talisman, and he wanted to lose the steering wheel with both hands, so I hurriedly put it around his neck and asked him to pay attention to traffic safety.
"Brother, you're having a lot of fun this time. I told you a long time ago that you can't get into that store. The water was too deep for us to play. Zhao Toad drove the car into a deserted street and said to me, "To be honest, I wasn't going to save you, I was afraid that I would get into it, so I rushed in because of the chain left by my mother." In the future, I am afraid that this Jinling City will not be able to go on, and I will work hard for decades, and once I return to the pre-liberation period, I will really carry it home. ”
It turned out that Zhao Toad recognized the overlord seal on the signboard that day, and knew that the store was Sang Batian, who was famous in the antique shop, so he didn't dare to stay long and ran away. Halfway through, I felt that it was unrighteous for me to throw my brother into the fire pit, and I turned back and wanted to squat at the door to guard me out, but I was stopped by a team of big caps as soon as I arrived at the door. At first, he thought it was a police raid, but who knew that they were taken farther and farther away and got into a dilapidated warehouse in the suburbs.
Zhao Toad knew that the problem was strict, and he didn't dare to resist, he answered all their questions, and even recruited me to go to the toilet a few times on the train. Those people saw that he was answering like a stream, but felt that there was fraud in it, saying that he was not honest, and he was beaten in vain. I said that you deserve it, whoever let you betray the revolution lightly, you must keep in mind the lesson of blood, and you must not casually betray your revolutionary comrades-in-arms in the future.
Zhao Toad continued to tell his story while driving: "Later, I pretended to be dizzy and escaped by plane when it was almost dawn. I guess they still have to go to the Confucius Temple to block you, so come here to try your luck. I was really called to run into it, and the kid who was driving was left alone in the alley, so I went over and gave him a brick, and guess what? The kid didn't get dizzy, and he turned around and asked me why I hit him, fuck, and I immediately made up another piece for him, and it was settled. ”
I know that he has completely offended those people by going down with these two bricks. I'm afraid it's hard to continue mixing in Nanjing, and I feel very guilty, and I don't know what to say for a while.
Zhao Toad sighed and said, "Let's leave the future alone, in short, we have to hide in the past two days to avoid the limelight." ”
"Do you have a place to hide?"
"There is a place, but ......," he said, looking at the intersection in front of him, "I'm afraid you won't dare to live." ”
