706 Someone made the first move
It may have been relatively late, and it was the peak season for coal transportation, so the roadside where there should have been a lot of horse-drawn carriages lined up was empty, and even the door of the office hall, which had always been bustling, was deserted. There is only one of the two staff members of the Union Department of Transport, who is bored holding the book.
"Hey, brother, have you seen Feng Zhen?" Hong Tao turned around and didn't see the shadow of the leather coat, so he simply asked someone outside the hall door who was sitting in the sun and napping.
“…… What are you doing? The middle-aged man was very impatient when his dream was disturbed, and he opened one eye to look at Hong Tao, and then at the carriage behind him, and finally opened both eyes.
"Albatross transport team, not long after it, take care of it, take care of it, take care of it......"
Hong Tao handed over the cigarette again, it is true to make money by doing transportation, but it is also true to pay for cigarettes. In less than two months, he had almost finished smoking all the cigarettes he had brought from Xinjiang Province, and if there was no subway tunnel to go to the red zone to search door-to-door, I am afraid that he would have to roll a cannon or simply smoke a pipe.
"Looking for a job, huh? You don't have to look for him, I'll do it for you! This car is good, and it is no problem to load more than a ton on the flat road. The North Railway Station pulls coal and sends it to the East Safety Zone of the city, running three times a day, can you go? As soon as he heard that it was a transport team, he immediately put a smile on his face, took the cigarette behind his ear, and the business rolled in.
"Hehe, I borrowed two yuan from him last time, and this is not a turnover, thinking that no one is rich, and I want to pay it back quickly." Listening to this person's words, Hong Tao really missed Zhen Ye a little.
He treats the driver like a man, look at this one, pulling more than a ton at a time, and running three times a day. The frame of the cart is made of steel, but the horse that pulls the cart is meat, and it is really unbearable, and it will be scrapped after running like this a few times.
"Hehe, then you're here today, hurry up, he's lying at home, just in need of money!?" As soon as he heard that he was not looking for a job, the man's enthusiasm immediately cooled down, and he had to close his eyes again.
"Do you know where his family lives? I mentioned it last time, but I was so busy getting the bill of lading that I forgot about it in a blink of an eye. "Yes, not only do you have to hand over the cigarette, but you also have to put the fire together, don't you just don't know Feng Zhen's address after going around for so long a day.
“…… Embassy of Norway! The middle-aged man rolled his eyelids, lazily took off the cigarette and lit it, and spit out a name with the cigarette.
"The Norwegian Embassy?" Hong Tao felt that he didn't hear clearly.
"Yes, the Norwegian Embassy, along the Third Ring Road to the north, almost five miles, west of the road...... I said that you are a transport team, and you don't usually look at the map! Bai smoked a cigarette, just asked for directions, the middle-aged man was impatient, and his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.
"See you back" Hong Tao didn't look at the map, nor did he know the location ......of the Norwegian Embassy, but he just felt that that kind of place was too good, and it shouldn't be lived by people like Feng Zhen, so he didn't dare to believe it for a while. I didn't talk much with the middle-aged man at the moment, turned around and got in the car and left.
The Norwegian Embassy in the Old World is located at the northwest corner of Tuanjiehu Bridge, across the road from the Zhaolong Hotel, next to the Italian Embassy and the General Hospital of the Armed Police.
Hong Tao drove along the East Third Ring Road all the way to the north, and did not turn left under the Tuanjiehu Bridge, but continued to the north until he walked to the bank of the Liangma River, walked a short distance west along the river, and then plunged into the embassy area in the south.
He wanted to see why Feng Zhen was able to live in the Norwegian Embassy and whether there were any special circumstances here. Resolutely not rushing to the door without figuring it out is also a self-protection measure.
From north to south, the Netherlands, Oman, Kazakhstan, Iran, Ukraine, Somalia, Argentina...... I passed by dozens of embassies along the way, and while walking, I slowly believed that Feng Zhenbao really lived in the Norwegian Embassy.
I don't know who came up with the idea to use the embassy district between the East 2nd and East 3rd Ring Roads as a permanent residential area to house displaced people. Anyway, this method is very good, and it is very adaptable to local conditions.
Compared with other residential areas, the embassy area has a very obvious feature, which is also very suitable for the characteristics of the last days, that is, the courtyard is large, the courtyard wall is high, and the buildings are generally low, basically there are no more than five floors, most of them are below three floors, and the building quality is absolutely good.
Not to mention the big countries, just look at the two-story building in the Somali embassy, which is about the same height as the three-story ordinary residential building. What does it mean? The floor is so tall that it has to be four meters.
What are the advantages of using this place as a safety zone, first, you don't have to worry about the earthquake knocking down the building, and you don't have to worry about the glass curtain wall falling from a high altitude. Even if the building is destroyed, as long as people can escape, the space in the courtyard can still be evacuated.
Second, the security is relatively good. Embassies of various countries basically have large courtyards and high thick walls. As long as the gate is closed, there is no need to worry about wild dogs and other animals coming in and attacking day and night, and there is no need to worry about outsiders breaking in, which is incomparable to the security zone in the south of the city.
Third, life is convenient. Embassies basically have back-up wells, separate water storage and water supply systems, and septic tanks. It really didn't take the trouble to dig a well or dig a manure tank in the yard. If you can restore the power lines in the yard, it will be easier to accept the alliance or use generators to power the power than anywhere else.
"Looking for who?!" Hong Tao's speculation was soon fulfilled at the south gate of the Norwegian Embassy, and as soon as the carriage stopped at the gate, a head appeared on the wall, and he asked very unceremoniously.
"Looking for Feng Zhen...... I'm from the transport team, and I have a payment to settle! Hong Tao hurriedly said the nonsense again.
"ID card!" The man at the head of the wall did not believe it, but stretched out a bamboo pole with a small basket hanging from the pole.
“…… Wait! Hong Tao looked at it, and obediently put the temporary ID card in the basket. The man took back the bamboo pole and looked at his ID card, but he still didn't open the door, and his head shrank and disappeared.
"Bang dang...... Boom ......" About ten minutes later, the iron door suddenly moved, groaning and opened.
"Come in, go north to the end, and the room on the second floor to the west is. Don't move around so you don't get into trouble! The man who showed up for interrogation just now walked out, first returned his ID card to Hong Tao, and then roughly pointed in the direction.
But his hand never left the handle of the pistol at his waist, and inside the door was a woman in her forties and fifties, holding a double-barreled hunt, staring at the side with a wary and distrustful look. Hong Tao firmly believes that as long as he dares to act excessively, the double-barreled hunt will definitely sound.
Compared to the surrounding ruins, the yard is really cozy. Today's sun is good, many families take out their bedding to dry, the original lawn has been turned into a vegetable patch, and the garage next to the wall is still a garage, and all the bicycles are parked.
The corridor is more lively, full of all kinds of building materials, coal, furniture. But the eyes that people look at themselves are not very friendly, and they can't be called hateful, they can only be regarded as guarded.
"Hello......" didn't need to ask at all, and found Feng Zhen's house following people's eyes. The door opened halfway, revealing the head of a little girl, who looked very delicate, and looked like Feng Zhen in no way.
"My dad is injured...... the little girl is not only good-looking, but also very clever, and when she let Hong Tao into the house, she closed the door, pointing to another room inside and whispering.
"Oh, uncle will heal, let me see it, okay?" Hong Tao touched his pocket, but he didn't bring anything else except cigarettes, so he couldn't also give the child a cigarette, so he had to fool with words.
"Uh-huh......" the little girl nodded vigorously.
"Zhen Ye, what's going on?" Walking into the back room, I have to say that not only the rooms are tall, but also the windows are big, even if they face west, they still don't look dark in the morning. It's just that Feng Zhen's state is not very good, lying on the bed, his face is almost indistinguishable, and one arm is still hanging.
"Zhou, Boss Zhou...... Can you delay the fight for half a month and leave me a life......" Feng Zhen glanced at the door with his head half-tilted, and there was no hope in his eyes.
"Success, then we will fight again in half a month...... Broken leg? Hong Tao first closed the door to block the little girl's curious gaze, and then walked to the side of the bed and lifted the quilt, and saw a splinted leg.
"......" Feng Zhen didn't squeak.
"That half a month is not enough, a hundred days of broken muscles and bones. If you don't earn for three months, can you survive a hundred days? I don't need rent here! ”
I covered the quilt and looked at the furnishings in the room again, and I almost had a little bottom in my heart. It's neatly packed, which is more consistent with Feng Zhen's image outside, neat but a little shabby, unlike families with too much savings and food reserves.
