Lin Jinhe said: "Well, it's really fateful, after the last goodbye, I thought I would never see you again." He spoke, a little at a loss.

The peddler suddenly smiled and said, "Congratulations! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Jinhe couldn't help but ask.

"I often hear people say that when the gold list is titled, the candle night in the cave room, and the old acquaintance in another country are the three happy events in life, you meet in a foreign land, of course, it is a joy in life, of course I want to congratulate it!"

As he spoke, the peddler handed over two paper bags of hot chestnuts: "Sir, your sugar-fried chestnuts are all ready."

Lin Jinhe hurriedly took out three yuan of fiat currency from his pocket and handed it over.

"Thank you!" Lin Jinhe took the chestnuts, gave Qingfang a bag, and then reached out and pulled her out of the crowd quickly, walking forward along the street.

Qingfang said as she walked, "Thank you! ”

"It is fate and an honor to pay the bill for the beautiful lady." Lin Jinhe kept currying favor with Qingfang.

The two walked under the street lamp, Qingfang put her hand into the hot paper bag, felt out a chestnut, pinched the skin with her fingernails, peeled off the shell and removed the membrane, and gently swept away the soft and sweet chestnut meat.

Lin Jinhe watched her peeling and cutting chestnuts, a little intoxicated.

Qingfang quickly held the chopped chestnut meat in the palm of his jade-like palm and handed it to Lin Jinhe.

Qingfang blushed and said, "Mr. Lin, here you go!" ”

Lin Jinhe took the chestnut meat from her palm, threw it into her mouth, and chewed it: "It's so fragrant."

They ate sweet chestnuts and walked side by side, walking very slowly, dragging the clear glow of the moonlight.

The two laughed and turned into Neicuowo Road, and the "porter" behind them was still following not far away.

Qingfang took two steps closely, and suddenly grabbed Lin Jinhe's arm and said, "Mr. Lin, last time I said goodbye, I thought I would never see you again, see you today, fate is here, we might as well go to the Huai bar!" ”

Lin Jinhe couldn't help but say happily: "Okay, I'm so bored with something in my heart, I want to drink two cups, let's get drunk today." ”

The two walked into a tavern near Neicuowo Road.

The "porter" who followed them watched as the two entered the tavern and hurried into an alley on Neicuowo Road.

Liu Zifeng was standing around the corner of the alley.

The "porter" hurriedly came over and said: the two of them entered the tavern in front, and the woman did not find anything wrong.

Liu Zifeng thought for a while and said: Is there anything suspicious about that man?

The "porter" shook his head and said, "I didn't find it."

"You keep an eye on them at the tavern door, especially the woman. I'll send someone into the tavern to check on what's going on. Liu Zifeng ordered.

"Okay, let's split up!" "Porter" said.

The two quickly separated and disappeared into the night.

In the tavern, the square table was already on the table.

"Mr. Lin, what kind of business are you doing?" Qingfang took the initiative to ask him.

Lin Jinhe thought for a while and said, "Make some mushrooms, longan, fruits and other local specialties!" ”

Qingfang said: "Oh, you can make a lot of money!" There was suspicion in her eyes.

Lin Jinhe picked up the wine jug and poured the wine, saying: "Now it is not as strict as before, the Japanese and the Kuomintang have tighter control over smuggling boats, and it is becoming more and more difficult to trade between Gulangyu and the inland. ”

"Let's not talk about business today, drink!" Lin Jinhe said and picked up the wine glass and touched it with Qingfang, and drank it all.

Qingfang drank a little and put it on the table.

Lin Jinhe poured himself full again.

He asked again: Qingfang, what are you doing now?

Qingfang said casually: "Originally, in the relief associations from all walks of life, I did some work to help refugees. Now that the refugees have been dismissed by the Japanese authorities and the relief work is gone, they don't know what to do in the future? Her tone was light, and her eyes were full of infinite sorrow.

"Now that the Japanese are rampant, no one knows what the future holds!" Lin Jinhe sighed and said, "However, in the future, we can help each other and go through the difficulties together." From now on, you can call me big brother! ”

"Okay then, thank you, Brother Lin!" Qingfang said and picked up a glass of wine and said: As the saying goes, a thousand cups of people are few for a confidant. It's an honor to know Big Brother, and I salute Brother Lin.

Lin Jinhe happily drank it all.

Qingfang poured wine for Lin Jinhe again, and said softly: Brother Lin said to the little sister just now, there is something in his heart and he is panicking, but I don't know what is going on, can I help you?

Lin Jinhe waved his hands and hurriedly said, "No, nothing, you can't help with business matters!" ”

"You're lying, you're not in business at all." Qingfang wanted to be caught and continued: "It seems that you don't trust your little sister at all, and in the future, I won't bother you!" ”

"I, I'm ......!" Lin Jinhe was generalized, and he was so anxious that he stammered.

Qingfang took the opportunity to say again: "I said yes, punish the wine!" ”

"Okay, good, be punished!" Lin Jinhe said, picked up the wine glass, raised his neck and drank it.

Qingfang poured him wine again, sighed and said: The situation is unstable now, I just want to find a man here who is sincere to me, who usually has a person to rely on, and a person to take care of in case of trouble, I will not ask too much.

"You want to live on Drum Island?" Lin Jinhe asked in surprise.

After Lin Jinhe asked, he regretted it in his heart. He thought to himself that he shouldn't have asked like that, it was too obvious that he really wanted to be friends with her, to keep in touch, or if he didn't just want to be friends with her.

"Not necessarily." Qingfang actually replied: "Maybe I will stay, it depends on the situation." It's not peaceful anywhere now, and if the Japanese don't play Gulangyu, I don't want to leave. ”

"If you don't leave, we can meet often!" Lin Jinhe said with some excitement.

Qingfang also said happily: So, Brother Lin is working in Gulangyu!

Lin Jinhe said: "Hmm! ”

"That's great, I can also have a support in the future, I salute my eldest brother!" Qingfang picked up another glass of wine.

Lin Jinhe took it and drank it.

After a few glasses of wine, his face flushed, and his thoughts began to rise.

"The little sister has a true affection for the eldest brother, and the eldest brother should tell the truth to the little sister, right?" Qingfang deliberately induced him to say.

Lin Jinhe drank another glass of wine, and said with a little disobedience: "Actually, I, I'm in Zhaohe Canning Factory, they asked me to go to work hard, they didn't go, I don't want to die yet......"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume came from outside and sat on the table opposite him.

The middle-aged man glared at him fiercely.

Lin Jinhe suddenly stopped talking and glared at the other party fiercely.

The two of them have a lot of posture to fight.

Qingfang hurriedly said: Brother Lin, you drank too much, let's go back!

Lin Jinhe ignored Qingfang and continued to stare at the other party and said, "If you want to make trouble, don't look at what I'm doing?" He patted his waist vigorously.

Qingfang hurriedly stood up and said to the man: "This big brother, he drank too much, don't be weird!" After she finished speaking, she went to the Larinkin River.

"Brother Lin, you've drunk too much, let's go back!" Qingfang said and dragged Lin Jinhe hard. Lin Jinhe reached out and wrapped his hand around Qingfang's soft shoulders and put his head on Qingfang's face.

The two of them staggered out.
