Chapter 17: Tears in the Wind
Early in the morning, Yu Yonghong returned home with a yawn as the old man, and as soon as he lit the stove, he was already exhausted.
However, even if he was tired and became like this, the old man still did not rest, and went to the courtyard against the hot air just in the house, and went to the wellhead to start fetching water.
He had to wash his clothes, not for cleanliness, but for the sake of the little devils, and the interpreter said that the puppet army uniforms issued must be washed every day, especially in the dungeon, which is full of bacteria, and the Japanese are afraid of any infectious diseases.
Wow.
The beaten water was poured into the wooden basin, and the old man's mouth full of white stubble had been hung with the frost caused by the gas, and he washed the puppet army uniform outside with a sigh of relief, and then hung the clothes next to the stove and baked them on the kang.
He's tired, so tired that he doesn't even want to eat, he's so old, and he has to clean the entire underground cell by himself, not to mention the old man, the guy can't stand it.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the price given by the Japanese is not low......
"Uncle? Uncle! ”
When the call at the door came, Old Man Yu immediately opened his eyes, quickly got up, didn't put on his shoes completely, and walked out.
When he opened the door, Xiao Wuzi, Lu Xiang, and Zhang Ziqiang were standing at the door.
"What are you?"
"Uncle, it's too late to explain, hurry up and let us get in."
The old man didn't think about it, and immediately said, "Got into trouble? ”
Lu Xiang responded: "The fifth son didn't hold the fire and scolded the little devil." ”
The old man stretched out his finger and looked resentful: "You just do it!" ”
The servant was let into the house by the old man, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the puppet army uniform, don't look at the little five sons who were scolded just now and didn't talk back, but at this time they stopped doing it: "Daddy Yu, where did this come from?" ”
Old Man Yu snorted coldly: "Where did you come from, the devil sent it." ”
He didn't wait for people to ask: "I don't know what's going on, the little devil suddenly kicked out all the Chinese who used to work in the gendarmerie, and began to transfer people up from various police stations, and those who were not people were brought into the gendarmerie." Even that grandson donkey got in, what kind of thing is that, he sold his wife who smoked a lot, and such a person was transferred to the data room. ”
"Didn't I stay in the morgue of the police station, and I was transferred."
Lu Xiang was surprised: "I really underestimate this newly appointed section chief of the special high school, he actually knows that we don't look down on those things, and specially selects some defective people to work in the gendarmerie, so that even the review is exempted." ”
"Xiao Lu, who are you talking about, I don't sound like a good word?"
Lu Xiang hurriedly explained: "Uncle, I didn't say anything about you. ”
Old man Yu was still unhappy: "It's okay to say, I'm just good at gambling, this is known to the neighbors around, it turns out that this is how my family's Sanjin yard lost." If it weren't for the good gambling, would my son be able to go to the mine to pay off the debt? If he doesn't go to the mine, can you be saved and become a fighter of the Anti-Union? We don't know each other. ”
Old Yu is very good, he was born in a rich family, he is served by a small person, and the family is so rich that even if he is infected with a bad habit, no one thinks what, which rich young master is not better. In this way, Lao Yu's father has been protecting his children with his own ability, and only after knowing that he got married and had an heir, he died.
Since then, Lao Yu has been completely uncared for, almost every day to the bureau, the most ruthless time at home nearly 100 acres of land is not enough for him to lose overnight, only less than half a year, he lost all the family business, and also owed a foreign debt.
From the beginning of the fight, the old man Yu was completely sinking, and the dignified young master had to worry about eating, drinking, and Lasa, so he couldn't quit gambling, and when his son grew up, the Yu family, a good rich family, was left with such a dilapidated kiln, which was still rented.
At that time, the Japanese had just occupied the Northeast, and were recruiting absenteeism, and the conditions were so good that people could envy them, what package of two meals a day and meat at a meal, ten silver dollars a month were cash, just like every word was written to Lao Yu's son, he was excited, and directly registered, and it was not so much to see that someone blocked the door of the house to ask for debts, and the child thought about returning the money quickly.
As a result, three years passed, and during those three years, there was no news.
Lao Yu also went to look for it, and once he asked the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and the people in the mine to call it out, he didn't say how many crimes he suffered, the key is that you can't hear the truth.
It wasn't until this year, when they entered Beiman to prepare for underground work, that Lao Yu heard the news of his son again.
How does a new organization work in an unfamiliar environment?
Xiuniang has an absolute say in this, and she asked the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Federation to start writing letters to their homes, and all those who wrote to North Manchuria were sent by them. In this way, the whole network of relationships was opened in an instant, there were teachers, students, wealthy businessmen, workers, Xiao Wuzi and Lao Yu also met at that time, most of these ordinary families who received letters became their cover, so today Lu Xiang and Xiao Wuzi dared to hide here in the pursuit of the Japanese.
When I first came to deliver the letter, Lao Yu was still working in the morgue of the police station, and when I came today, Xiao Wuzi saw a pseudo-army uniform, and this question only understood what was going on.
"Uncle." Lu Xiang asked cautiously, "You just joined the gendarmerie?" ”
"It's not good, last night on the first day of work, I almost didn't die of exhaustion this night, I was the only one in the huge cell to clean up, and the Japanese soldier was watching with a gun."
Lu Xiang and Xiao Wuzi looked at each other, and Xiao Wuzi immediately asked, "What kind of people are locked up in the cell, can you see clearly?" ”
Lao Yu recalled: "The cell of the gendarmerie has two floors, the first floor is for not very important prisoners, I am on the second floor, the second floor was originally held by two people, one woman died not long ago, and I really don't know who the rest is." ”
"But when I was cleaning, I heard the woman chatting with the man, as if the woman was asking the man for help, and the man was called Lao Xu."
"What!"
Zhang Ziqiang immediately walked over, and he asked anxiously, "What did the man call the woman?" ”
The old man waved his hand: "Child, that's the underground cell of the gendarmerie, I don't dare to look up when I go in, you don't know how scary it is, the ghosts cry and howl all day long, you say, do I dare to listen and watch more?" ”
Lu Xiang stopped Zhang Ziqiang with his hand, for fear that he would scare the old man and asked, "Uncle, what else do you know?" ”
"I ......," he recalled, "that man made the Japanese beat very badly, and I see that it means that there is no result in the trial, and it will be tried every two days." As for the woman...... When he was dying, he was no longer human, and his body was already broken. ”
Lu Xiang tried his best to ensure that his voice was normal and asked, "When did she leave?" ”
"Xiao Lu, I've only been on work for a day, and I heard the two of them talking once when I was at work, how do I answer these questions...... Child, what's wrong with you, what are you crying about? ”
Lu Xiang wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve: "It's okay, we're crying in the wind, I let the wind blow in my eyes just now." ”
