66. The wanderer returns to his ancestors and leaves home with a street and two squares nailed to the door number
On the third night, Mrs. Li took advantage of Ma Chenlong's malaise and went to bed early, learned from the time of the drum, quietly slipped into the Xianghai room, approached the bed in the dark, heard Ma Chenlong's snoring undulating, and thought that this was the perfect opportunity to carefully untie his gauze. I didn't expect Ma Chenlong to wake up suddenly, and saw a figure standing in front of him in the dark, sat up suddenly, and shouted: "Who ......" Mrs. Li was weak-hearted, and he suddenly drank it, and he couldn't stand steadily, sat on the ground with his ass, and hurriedly said: "It's my ......" Ma Chenlong saw that Mrs. Li was sitting on the ground, and Mrs. Li wanted to approach him several times, so he felt very strange, thinking that the rest of the Li family was very friendly, only this Mrs. Li behaved strangely, could it be that Mrs. Li was suspicious of herself? He asked, "Why didn't Madame sleep in the middle of the night, what did she do in the student room?" With that, he got out of bed and helped Mrs. Li up. Mrs. pretended to say: "Oh, my mother has had a problem with night travel since she was a child, I don't know why I came to the children's room, I heard a shout just now, and I opened my eyes here......" Ma Chenlong After some tossing, the gauze on his neck has been loosened, and Mrs. Li took the opportunity to lean on him and touch it again, this time Ma Chenlong was frightened, and hurriedly avoided it, and said: "Madame needs to be careful." I saw that my wife came to the student's room again and again, and every time it was strange, and my wife should not come again in the future, and she could ask others to spread the word if she had something. He said that he was going to escort Mrs. Li back to the room. Mrs. Li said, "No need, I'll go by myself." Ash slipped back to his room and slept in his clothes. The next day, Li Shanren didn't mention it in front of him, pretending to be fine.
Ma Chenlong was frightened by Mrs. Li several times, suspicious, at first he couldn't stand Mrs. Li's eyes looking at him, but then not only Mrs. Li, Li Shanren's eyes on himself also began to be weird, I don't know what the Li family thought about him, and he was even more afraid that there would be a sneaky black shadow one day when he slept until midnight. Xianghai and Zhao Da saved the dead and helped the wounded, they are both good people, but I don't know what kind of heart his landlord and wife have. The heart of harming people is indispensable, the heart of preventing people is indispensable, it is better to be careful, from then on, I dare not sleep too dead at night, only wait for ten days and a half months, the clothes are in hand, and I leave immediately.
Mrs. Li's donkey skills are poor, and Li Shanren is also helpless. But he didn't know that Xianghai had touched the back of Ma Chenlong's head, and he had already confirmed that Ma Chenlong was a member of the Li family, thinking that Ma Chenlong had returned to his sect and was lying in his own home, and he couldn't run away if he was injured. When he recovers from his injuries and his father recovers, he will find another opportunity to inform his father, and at that time, the whole family will be happy and the whole family will celebrate. Unexpectedly, Ma Chenlong lost contact with the organization, fidgeted, and as soon as he got the new suit made by Ah Mao, he immediately disguised himself and sneaked out of Guangfu, and he didn't know where to go. Li Shanren hung his head and blamed his wife for being too reckless, so he was bedridden.
When the news reached Xianghai's ears, Xianghai was annoyed, and he didn't tell his parents that Ma Chenlong was a relative of the Li family earlier. The matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, Xianghai thought about it again and again, or hid the matter for the time being, and only said: "That's fine!" And he said no more. Zhao Da couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily: "It's okay, didn't you say that Ma Chenlong might be your own brother?" How can you watch such a half-crippled person go to death! Xianghai said: "It's not possible, he is really my own brother." Zhao Da was shocked and asked: "Ma Chenlong is Li Xianglong?" You already know why you don't say it? "Xianghai is silent." You should have made it clear to the lord a long time ago, lest the lord treat him as the son of an enemy! Zhao Da had heard about the Li family's past experience from Wu's mother's mouth, and knew that the second grandmother of the Li family was abducted by the housekeeper Jin Xiangyu when she was holding the baby Li Xiangxiao, and she has not known her whereabouts ever since. Now Xianghai confirmed that Ma Chenlong was Li Xianglong, but he deceived and concealed everything, so that his brother who was exiled left ran away after returning, causing the old man to be ill. He regretted not seeing that Xianghai was so narrow-minded that he couldn't tolerate his half-brother Ma Chenlong, so he was indignant, and for the first time, regardless of his status, he made the following offenses and vented his dissatisfaction to Xianghai. Xianghai waited for him to finish scolding before he said: "Big brother, you don't know, even if the second lady eloped with Jin Xiangyu, my father still cherishes her in private, and it would be easy to do it if my father hated her to the core." Now he suddenly knew that Xiang Gong was not the son of Jin Xiangyu, but his biological son, and now that his son has returned, the second lady has died, where can his father stand it? Besides, his father often takes the difficulty of saving people and tolerating people's mistakes as his motto, even if Ma Chenlong is the enemy's son, his father will not embarrass him, and the enemy is gone. Therefore, I speculated that Ma Chenlong's sudden departure was not because his father was unkind, but because there was another hidden secret. "That's right!" Zhao Da was straightforward, listened to Xianghai's explanation, and immediately understood his hard work, but he couldn't let go for a while, and said: "If it were me, I would have told the master a long time ago that Ma Chenlong is not only not the descendant of the enemy, but also his own son, how good it would be to let the master die happily!" "It's good, but my father is so old and sick, I'm afraid he can't withstand the stimulation of ups and downs. The father always has compassion, if he sees his own son fall to the end of the world, endure all the hardships, and still be disabled for life, he will be in pain and will feel guilty and blame himself. I'm afraid that he won't be able to accept the truth and will be surprised. Only then did Zhao Da understand Xianghai's good intentions.
After this incident, "one street and two squares" has not yet been completed, Xianghai applied to the Ministry of Industry Bureau to nail the house number, and the house can be opened, and the house can be pushed out, so that he can report the good news to his father and make his father happy. It was a Frenchman who came to nail the door number, and he brought a small attendant. Xianghai remembered Mr. Feng Shui's words to avoid "merging the two into one", secretly stuffing a "little yellow croaker" into the pocket of the little attendant, begging him not to nail the No. 1 house number. The little follower said: "There is no such thing, if you don't nail the number one, do you start with the number two?" I'm afraid this favor won't help, and the French can't fool around. Xianghai said: "As long as my brother is silent, I have my own way on the French side." The little follower took the benefit and was silent, Xianghai knew foreign language, and "chirping" told the French, and the French actually agreed. The Frenchman pointed to the street crossing and said to the little follower: "That street crossing is No. 1, can you climb up and nail the door number?" The little attendant listened obediently and immediately said, "No, then you have to call a fire truck and raise a ladder to climb up to nail it." The Frenchman said: "Then nail the other door numbers first, this is naturally the number one if you don't nail it." "
Since then, everyone who comes to "One Street and Two Squares" is surprised that the first place in the alley is No. 2, and there is no No. 1.
After nailing the door number, Xianghai immediately opened up the opening of "one street and two squares", and he followed his father's instructions to prepare all kinds of drinks in his own store and prepare to send them to Huayi Street to be shipped to Guangfu. When I got up early this morning, half of the door panels of the liquor store were removed, and I found that the streets were deserted and different from usual, and the shops opened fewer doors and closed more. At this time, Zhao Da came and told Xianghai that it was rumored that the Northern Expeditionary Army marched into Shanghai in two ways to start a war with the foreigners, the foreigners increased a large number of soldiers, and the warships had also sailed to the Huangpu River.
