Lao Li's name is Li Duofu, a very Chinese name. In his early years www.biquge.info he was an apprentice to a craftsman who kneaded clay figures, and he wandered in the rich Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. However, when there were bandits in Jiangnan, he returned to his hometown Tianjin Wei, worked for a wealthy family, and later saved some money to do some small business at the dock, married a wife and had children.

A few years ago, his wife died of illness, and his son finally became a family. Lao Li Tou's son is not a person who is content with the status quo, and he runs small businesses on the dock every day and recognizes many Qing soldiers from Beiyang. Finally, one day, I heard the encouragement of a Beiyang Army sentry officer, saying that he could take him to Guanwai, where there were many deals to do.

Lao Li Tou's son decided to go to Fuzhou City to do business with the Beiyang outpost who moved to Fuzhou City, and Lao Li Tou also followed him. At the beginning, this business was not bad, they poured some products outside the customs, relying on the convenience of the Beiyang sailors, from Dalian Bay back to Tianjin Wei, and then from Tianjin to transport the daily necessities that were lacking outside the customs, this trade was also a little profitable.

But I never thought that the Beiyang Army was defeated in Korea, and retreated to the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, not to mention, and lost Jiulian City, Phoenix City and Lianshan Pass Cities, and finally stopped the Japanese in Haicheng. The property outside the pass was also cut off with the escalation of the war, seeing that this trade could not be done, the family was planning to return to Tianjin Wei, but did not expect that after the Japanese people landed at the entrance of the garden, they sent a group of people and horses directly into Fuzhou City.

Lao Li Tou's family hurriedly fled to Dalian Bay, but were scattered by the rout of the Qing army on Fuzhou Avenue. Lao Li Tou couldn't find his son's family, but he was driven into Jinzhou City by the horse team sent by Lian Shun.

It's just that the price of grain in Jinzhou City has risen three times a day, and where can the coiled entanglement on Lao Li's head withstand such a toss. It didn't take many days for the coils on his body to run out of food.

Fortunately, after a few days of starvation, a banner soldier came to him and said that he could take him out of the city as long as he gave him some gold and silver. But at this time, where is there any gold and silver soft in the old road, it has long been replaced by coarse grains. Lao Li, who couldn't get out of the city, had to go to get the gruel distributed by the deputy capital commander Yamen every day to satisfy his hunger, but even if he only needed porridge and water, he couldn't get it every day.

The desperate old Li Tou felt that he would never see his son, daughter-in-law and little granddaughter again, and the winter in Liaodong was freezing everywhere, and the only thing waiting for him was to die on the side of the road and be sent to the transformation field.

At this moment, the bannermen who had asked for gold and silver to be taken out of the city came again, saying that a noble man had paid for them and could take them out of the city for free. The bannermen said that after leaving the city, they could go to Thirty Mile Fort, where nobles were distributing relief food according to the number of people.

Lao Li gritted his teeth and rushed to Thirty Mile Fort, thinking that as soon as the news of the relief grain spread, his son's family would definitely go to collect it if he was still around here, and even if he died, he would die in Thirty Mile Fort, and maybe he would be able to meet his family.

Lao Li Tou, who felt that Thirty Mile Fort, still did not find any news of his son's family in the end, but he lacked life-saving relief food. During this period, there were also gangsters who saw that he was old and frail and wanted to snatch the relief food in his hands, but he was caught by the officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty and hung on the roadside swing to warn the world.

I can't go back to Tianjin Wei without being entangled, and I have been looking forward to my son's family appearing in Thirty Mile Fort, Lao Li Tou built a small shack in the ravine and lived down, and came to this Thirty Mile Fort every day to watch, one is to continue to inquire about the news of his son's family, and second, he also wants to find some work that can change rations.

Lao Li is old and frail, and many living families don't want him at all. And his half-hung clay figure craftsmanship, what can be used in this troubled world?

That day, Lao Li Tou didn't get a job, so he could only sit near the bulletin board, looking for traces of his son's family in the flow of people. Bored, he grabbed a piece of clay and picked up his little granddaughter's favorite Monkey King.

At this time, a little girl with a pink carving came over and looked at the clay figure in his hand in a daze. This little girl is white and lovely, and her age is about the same as her little granddaughter, Lao Li looked at her and rose with pity, and handed over the Monkey King clay figure in his hand.

After the little girl turned out to be a clay figure, the adult next to her (MissFox) told her that she had received a gift from the old man and that she would also give it to the old man. So the little girl went to fetch about three catties of coarse grain and gave it to Lao Litou.

Every day after that, the little girl was led by an adult, and exchanged coarse grain for the clay figurine pinched by the old plum. This situation lasted for more than a month, during which there were also people who did not open their eyes to grab his food, and without exception they were grabbed by the patrols of the Great Song Dynasty official army and pulled to the pole on the side of the road and swinged.

A few days ago, this little girl never came to change the clay figurine again, and Lao Li Tou felt that his qi calculation had come to an end. I never thought that there would be such a big benefit waiting for me.

Regarding Lu Xiaobei's proposal, Lao Li Tou immediately agreed. The Dalian Bay Wharf is the only channel between the Liaodong Peninsula and the mainland, and whether the son's family has fled back to Tianjin Wei or is stranded on the Liaodong Peninsula, it is the best place to find news of them.

"Old Li Tou, look at your luck, tsk, tsk, tsk. In my last life, I didn't accumulate a lot of blessings. I almost didn't get electrocuted for this bowl of rice. Look at you, you made a clay figure to please Miss Anne, and this entered the military intelligence department of the Great Song Navy. Wang Ergou recalled that when he saved his mother, he was scared by two stun guns in a row, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

"Where, where, it's all thanks to the second master. If you find a little old man in this ravine, I don't have this blessing. Lao Li replied respectfully to Wang Ergou's words.

"Old Li Tou, you don't have to speak so politely. Da Song Buxing set, we will be colleagues in the future, don't be so restrained. I'll take you to the Orange District office to register first. Wang Ergou put his arm around Lao Li's shoulders and led him to the Office of the Military Intelligence Department in the Orange District.

"Name?" As another of the two members of the Military Intelligence Department, Zhao Zeshi also has to serve as a clerk of the Military Intelligence Department.

"If you go back to the adult, the little old man's name is Li Duofu." Lao Li Tou was registering himself in the heated office of the Orange District Military Intelligence Service.

"Okay, from today onwards, you will be an employee of the Military Intelligence Department of the Great Song Royal Navy, and the rules will be explained to you by Wang Ergou in a while. You take this slip and go to the logistics to get something. Zhao Zeshi's registration was over, and he gave Lao Li a slip to receive equipment.

Lao Li Tou took the strip and didn't mean to leave, holding the strip in both hands and bowing and not moving.

"Do you have any more requests?" Zhao Zeshi's bullet is the standard posture that will appear when people in this era have inconvenient requirements for the master to speak.

"Little Lao'er still has a reluctant invitation to bother the owner." Waiting for Zhao Zeshi to open his mouth to ask, Lao Li Tou asked this time.

"Come on, let's see if we can help." Zhao Zeshi said.

"Xiao Lao'er and his family have been separated on Fuzhou Avenue for more than a month, and I implore the owner to call the shots and inquire about the news of his family in front of him." Lao Li Tou said.

"Is there anything like a photograph? We can also send our siblings to the MI to help find them. Zhao Zeshi asked.

Lao Li Tou shook his head, the price of taking pictures is not low, they are ordinary small businessmen, and they are not willing to spend that kind of money.

"It's okay, you go and get the equipment first, come back here and wait for me, I'll take the time to draw a portrait of your family." Zhao Zeshi waved his hand to let Lao Li Tou go out.
