When I arrived at the Meishan Teahouse, Gao Qiujiang asked for an ear room, ordered a pot of Jinzhai Cuimei, and asked for a few plates of baked cakes and melon seeds.

Tea is the new tea just picked this spring, it really belongs to the best product, the boiling water is poured in, the tender leaf buds roll a few times, then one by one erected, sink and float in the water, the boiling water changes color for a while, the green is clear, has not yet entered, it is already fragrant and overflowing.

Gao Qiujiang took a sip of tea and asked, "How did you learn this hand?" ”

The woman said that her mother died early, her father worked as a clerk in Luzhou, and she married a fierce woman, and she was very bad, so she went to her cousin. Her cousin was a famous thief on the beach in Shanghai, and she was supported to study at the Shanghai Aiqun Girls' School, but she still lived in her cousin's mansion. Sometimes my cousin was happy, so he passed on a few tricks to her. At first, it was just fun, but then I learned more and my hands itched. The first time I stole my husband's pocket watch, because he reprimanded her for a trivial matter. I stole my pocket watch and glasses, and after I stole my glasses, I stole my top hat, and then I stole my husband's gold pens, banknotes, and even dentures. It made my husband nervous, and he was scurrying around looking for things all day long, and he was even worried about going to class. Of course, she didn't want these things, and after a while, she put them in one place, and let her husband find them back one after another.

The woman's story was told so vividly that Gao Qiujiang couldn't help but laugh.

"What's your name?"

"I can't tell you my name just yet...... Otherwise, you can call me less than. Dry hook on. ”

"Then why don't you read anymore? I think you're your age, that's sixteen or seventeen, right? ”

"Eighteen." Less than replied. lowered his head and thought about it, his eyes turned red, "Then something happened, I met a fellow villager at my cousin's house, he is a college student, my cousin often helps him, he was very good to me, I love him to death, but the daughter of the saline industrialist inserted a lever, and he alienated me." My cousin wanted to beat him, but I stopped him. ”

Gao Qiujiang's heart fluttered, and he was a thin face.

"But why did you steal?"

"I hate money, it ruined me. I can't compete with an industrialist because he needs money. I have no other way, I told him, don't want her money, I have the money you want. I was so stupid at that time, I really went to steal every day, and I hated to save a mountain of gold and take back his heart. One time I was caught, and it wasn't my cousin who came forward, and they beat me to death. Later, my cousin was caught by the government, and I went to visit the prison, and my cousin said to me: Listen to my sister, this world is too unfair, and I stole it to fight the injustice. You are a girl's family, don't steal it, go home to find the second uncle, and marry someone who is similar to each other. But when I returned to Luzhou, my father didn't recognize me at all because of my stepmother's instigation, saying that I was a thief. I left in a fit of annoyance, I'm still going to steal, I have a lot of money now. ”

"With money, will your lover change his mind? This kind of person is not worth nostalgia for. ”

"Yes, he went with her to England. Sometimes I hate him so much that I can't kill him. But I want to forget him, but I can't forget him. Why are we so stupid as women? ”

"You're not short of money now, so why are you stealing?"

"I don't know. It doesn't matter anyway, I have to have something to do, right? I have stolen a lot of people, officials, industrialists, big guys, especially Mrs. Kuo. In Luo'an, I am most happy to steal Japanese and traitors. The whole country is fighting the war, and I can't be idle. The woman who was stolen today is the wife of the traitor Ma Translator, and I have been staring at her for several days. You say, stealing money from the Japanese and traitors can also be regarded as anti-Japanese. ”

Gao Qiujiang couldn't laugh or cry when he was asked. With a woman's intuition, she judged that most of what the woman who claimed to be younger said was true. This can really be a love fool who has been abandoned and thus become decadent and cynical. If there is such a helper, it is really a helper.

Of course, Gao Qiujiang will never be gullible, she has to further find out Xiaoxiao's true identity.

"If I tell you that I am also a thief, and a great thief, will you do it with me?"

"I don't want to." Less than answered crisply.

"Why?"

"I'm not the same as I used to be. I'm not stealing money now for money. ”

Gao Qiujiang smiled and said, "I was joking with you." Since you and I meet in Pingshui, it can be regarded as fate. You don't think I'm a bad person, right? ”

"I can't say."

"To tell you the truth, I am an employee of the Nanyang Merchant Group, and I have recently encountered a little trouble in business and need to be dealt with. I see that Ah Mei has a unique skill, and I want to hire you for a favor. ”

"I can't help with a big favor, it's okay to steal a little. But I have to ask what it is. I don't do anything that hurts nature, and I never steal from the poor. ”

"It is not a matter of harm, and it is a righteous act. You'll know when the time comes. ”

Xiao stared at a pair of clear eyes, looked at Gao Qiujiang seriously, and said, "If it's really like what you said, I can try." ”

What Gao Qiujiang didn't expect was that it was this playful, beautiful little female thief with unique skills who made great contributions to her subsequent intelligence work and became the second sibling in her life. It only took Gao Qiujiang two and a half days to confirm that Xiaoxiao's identity was not fabricated, and it only took one and a half days for Xiaoxiao to steal an important piece of information from a traitor translator - the Japanese army was mobilizing troops and preparing to attack Bump Mountain in a big way.
