Chapter 20: Christmas Eve

The sun was setting, the streets were dark, and there was no one in sight, but Xu Sanying felt that someone was peeping at him in the dark.

Who is it?

I'm a little dizzy, and it's hard to clear my head.

But since these people didn't do it, let's pretend not to know.

When I returned home, the lights were not turned on in the house, I loosened the button on the collar and threw my clothes on the kang.

With the last rays of the sun, I found Tian Xue lying on the table writing something.

"What to write?" Xu San saw Tian Xue's small notebook for writing more than once, and asked curiously today.

"Diary."

"Serious people who keep a diary." After saying that, he fell on the bed.

Tian Xue was extremely angry, she wrote a diary by herself, how could she provoke you, "You are not serious, you are not serious!" ”

The kerosene lamp lit by Tian Xue was a little dazzling, Xu San turned over and put his head against the wall: "Well, serious!" The serious Miss Tian family wrote a spring dream in her diary, and many years later, she ......"

There was a tumult in the stomach, and the throat squirmed a few times, suppressing the intense nausea.

Can't spit out!

Now there is a shortage of supplies, food is tight, and it would be too wasteful to vomit.

The lights flickered, a shadow hit, and then a few sniffles were heard.

"You've been drinking?"

"Flower wine, the flower wine that I drink with the little devil, I'll sleep first, you can write whatever you want, I promise not to peek." Xu San said in a daze.

"Huh, flower wine? Don't think I don't know, there is no such place in Ping'an County. ”

Tian Xue sneered, some time ago, he and Li Si didn't find any hooks and tiles when they stepped on the point, even if there were, now that the whole city is under martial law, it is impossible to operate.

A slight snoring sounded.

Tian Xue poked Xu San's waist and eyes with her hand: "Sleeping?" ”

No response.

I stabbed again, but there was still no response.

"Take off your clothes and go to sleep, otherwise you will easily catch a cold." Tian Xue leaned into Xu San's ear and whispered.

"Huh~hmm" Xu San snorted, his tired body met the soft pillow, which made him weak at the moment, and he really didn't want to move.

A small hand reached over and retracted as soon as it touched the button on his padded jacket.

Then he stretched it out again and retracted it again.

"Hey, let's do it myself, you call it obscene like this, and I'm not afraid that I will rely on you and become the son-in-law of your Tian family." Xu San shook his body, took off the padded jacket on his upper body, and covered his body.

"My Tian family doesn't want a door-to-door son-in-law like you!" Tian Xue's face was flushed, she felt that it was burning hard, she touched it, and retreated to the table.

"What do you want? I can change it. ”

"I want, I want...... Phew, you're talking to me again. ”

"I'll squint for a while, I'm too tired today, I won't get up for a while, you go to the guest room and sleep." After speaking, Xu San moved towards the wall again, he liked this when he was a child, maybe this sleeping position made him feel safer.

"Well, well!"

Tian Xue was a little disappointed, she originally expected Xu San to continue to tell her the story of "Deep Love and Rain" after she came back, but when she saw Xu San drunk like this, she couldn't bear to bother anymore.

He put away his notebook, blew out the oil lamp, and gently exited the room.

Xu San is so tired!

Both physically and mentally.

Physical fatigue can be easily solved, but mental fatigue cannot be relieved in a short time.

After the crossing, he acted every day.

Play the puppet army, play the underground worker, play the ruffian hooligan, play the shopkeeper of the petty business.

And there is no rest in the middle, and the long lens is pulled to the end, and you can't shout "click".

The long-term pressure made him feel as if his spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Today, with the strength of alcohol, I got a good night's sleep.

Tomorrow, continue.

The breathing gradually stabilized, and the slight snoring sounded again, Xu San really slept this time.

East of the city, Yuelai Inn.

The shopkeeper's concurrent account room Qian Sihai closed the account book and sighed.

Another day without entry.

Not only did there be no input, but there was also a slight increase in spending on coal and food.

This has been going on for five days.

The martial law in Ping'an City also had a great impact on him, the contact point of the Eighth Route Army.

The difficulty of transmitting information is only one thing, the devil's unexplained actions are the second, and the biggest headache for him now is the problem of funding.

The intelligence work itself is expensive, and it is difficult to maintain it with a small inn.

But he couldn't ask his superiors for money.

Because when he accepted the task at that time, he patted his chest and promised that he would support himself and not ask his superiors for a penny.

But the result?

Slap in the face.

In the past few years, the intelligence work has not only spent their own savings, but also owed a lot of debts, and now the poor are almost too poor to open the pot.

There was a slight sound on the second floor, and Qian Sihai knew that it was Wang Hu who had returned, so he picked up the candle on the table and walked up the stairs.

In the corner of the warehouse, Wang Hu was squatting on the ground rubbing his hands vigorously, and when he saw Qian Sihai's arrival, he hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, can we make a stove?" ”

"Now there are no guests, you can save it, you and Master Fang go to my room to sleep at night, let's squeeze together, and it is enough to make a stove."

Wang Huzo shook his teeth and said reluctantly: "Okay! ”

Without any more ink, Qian Sihai asked directly, "Did you feel anything?" Why are devils haunting demons today? ”

Wang Hu rubbed his hands and replied: "It's related to a second devil!" It's that Xu San, the shopkeeper you should know. ”

Qian Sihai nodded and handed over a hand warmer: "I've met a few times, and I open a grocery store at home." ”

Wang Hu took the hand warmer and continued: "Yes, it's him, today he doesn't know what kind of wind to smoke, shouting the devil's slogan at the door of the devil's prison, and then the little devils also convulsed together." ”

Qian Sihai lowered his head and made up the situation at that time?

If you can shout slogans with devils, then Japanese must be good, thinking of this, he continued to ask: "This Xu San knows Japanese?" ”

"It seems to be, if you don't have the shopkeeper, you can try it tomorrow, and my Japanese is limited to Yaga, Yaxi, dead and dead."

"Anything else? It's not easy for me to look at this Xu San. ”

"Also, today he fished out a man from the devil's prison."

"Who!"

"Ye Tian from the blacksmith shop, I grabbed it when the devils searched the whole city a few days ago."

"What does this Ye Tian have to do with him?"

Hearing this, Wang Hu put the hand stove aside and said mysteriously: "Hehe, if you want to talk about the relationship between these two people, it is quite complicated!" ”

Syllable~

Wang Hu's head was twitched.

"Why did you beat someone, shopkeeper?"

"Beating people is light, and you won't be wronged if you are locked up! You say, do you report like that? Just say no! ”

Wang Hu covered his head and complained in his heart, isn't this a habit of asking those aunts and aunts about information all year round?

"This Xu San and Ye Tian don't deal with each other very well, and after they came out of prison, they had a conflict. The specific reason is unclear, and the eyewitness Aunt Zhang said that they all pulled out their guns at that time. In addition, Ye Tian's neighbor Aunt Feng said that Ye Tian's daughter-in-law slept with Xu San for three days before she fished Ye Tian out of prison. ”

"Is this information accurate?"

"How can this be accurate? The words of these aunts and aunts are very ten, and it is really good to have two points. ”
