Twenty-nine, pick up
That evening, my godmother stood in front of the box containing the roster and asked me, "Did you take out the contents of the box and hide it somewhere else?" โ
I quickly said, "No, godmother." โ
"It's gone," she said. โ
I couldn't hear the strength in her voice, and I hurried over to look. The box was indeed empty, and I broke out in a cold sweat and turned pale.
I said, "The Communists still took it." โ
The godmother shook her head and said, "No. โ
If it were a normal time, she would definitely say no, but now she doesn't say that.
I said, "Not yet?" The director said that this is the roster of the underground Communist Party, and how many people in the underground Communist Party know each other? โ
The godmother said: "They are all one-line contacts, and they don't know anyone." โ
I said, "If you don't know each other, how can the person who stole it think it's a fake roster?" As long as he sees some names written on it, he will definitely think it is true. โ
My godmother slapped me in the mouth and said, "You don't know and didn't remind me earlier, so you can teach me to take precautions, now that it's happened, don't tell me if you know, so as not to worry me." She slapped me in the mouth again and said, "What are your intentions?" โ
I don't have any intentions, but I just tell the truth what I know and think, is it wrong to tell the truth?
The godmother said: "Sometimes, lies are also good medicine. โ
I got it and I learned it.
She said: "If it was really the Communist Party who came to take it, why didn't we hear the sound of people shouting outside to arrest the Communist Party, it was a gunshot, it was very loud, even if we fell asleep, we would be awakened." โ
I'm tempted to say that maybe the director didn't send someone, maybe the person who sent him fell asleep. But when I learned, I said, "Look at ยทยทยทยทยทยท godmother."
She said, "There must be an inner ghost, stolen by someone in our family." โ
I said, "Who could it be?" โ
My godmother didn't answer me, she just murmured, "It must be him." โ
I don't know if she's "him" or "she", or who he or she is, but I don't dare ask. I'm afraid that her slap will hit me in the mouth again, saying that I have a lot of mouth.
The godmother still murmured, "Who is he?" Even if the director didn't buy him to be an internal ghost, he would do it, and he was taking revenge on me and avenging her! โ
I still listened quietly, not daring to say more.
The godmother continued: "Not long after Mrs. Shi came to my house to be my nurse, I heard that he hooked her up, and the two of them have been good until now, how could he not avenge her for such a long relationship?" โ
I stared at her, and although I didn't know who had hooked up with the nurse, I already knew that it was "him" and not "her".
She stared at me too, for a long, long time. Suddenly, he gave me a mouth and said, "You don't ask me who this person is, you stare at me like a fool, and you don't know how to share some sorrow for me." โ
I didn't want to cover the place where I was beaten, but the pain there really taught me to not be able to bear it. I said, "Who, he, who is he?" โ
Only then did she say, "Yuan An." โ
I suddenly remembered the scene when we came back that day and saw Yuan An and Mrs. Shi's son together.
Godmother reached over and stroked my face as she slapped me. I quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, put it where she had beaten it, and said, "This old thing, dare to fight with your godmother, it's like a fly in the toilet." โ
She touched my face and said, "What a delicate and smooth face, does it hurt?" โ
I was startled, held her hand and quickly said, "As long as my godmother is happy." โ
She asked me to hold her hand and said; "I'll be happy if you can protect me from worrying about these things."
I said, "This day will come." โ
She sighed and said, "Even Yuan An dared to bully me, just to see that I had no man to protect me." โ
I puffed up my chest and said, "I'll protect you." โ
She said, "How do you protect it?" โ
I said, "I'm going to take someone to his house and search the roster, and when I find him, I arrest him." โ
She said, "No." โ
I stared at her.
She said: "I'm afraid that he has already hidden the roster, a small roster, just hide it, others don't want to find it, can't find it, he will beat us up, saying that we have wronged him, what will other people think?" Of course it will be chilling. โ
I said, "Arrest him and hand him over to the director, and let the director deal with it." โ
She said, "No." When this news spreads, others will look at our family's jokes, and they will say that our family is ruined, and even the housekeeper who has been with us for decades will have to be careful, so where will we put our face? โ
I stared at her, and I thought the expression on my face was: Is face more important than life?
She added: "Besides, the director will let him go when he turns around, and offending a villain like him is a great threat to us." โ
I said, "We have sinned against him." โ
She said: "Although he now thinks that I killed his lover, after all, none of us have said anything, and once this fig leaf is torn off, he will not be as sneaky as he is now, and will do things that will make us lose face and lose our lives." โ
I thought of the old immortal. I thought about it for a while, and said, "Simply kill him, not only can you give the director an explanation, but also give the director a death certificate when the time comes." โ
I'm complacent that I was able to come up with such a great idea.
She suddenly withdrew her hand and said sharply, "Reckless! You can think of such a stupid idea, can you do this? โ
I stared at her and couldn't answer.
She glared at me and said, "Not only will this not solve the problem, but it will make the director seize us by the handle, saying that we will use lynching, and none of us can afford this murder charge, and then not only will the house not be saved, but even our lives will be lost." โ
I said, "If we lose the roster, the director will still take our lives." โ
The godmother was silent.
I said, "Or, find a substitute." โ
She said, "Looking for whom?" If you are not a person you trust, not only will you not be willing, even if you use money to make him willing, I am afraid that I will regret it in front of the director, and the criminal law of the police station is not something that everyone can bear, and we will have one more crime of deception at that time. โ
I puffed up my chest again and said, "I, just let me be the substitute." โ
She stared at me for a long time, then suddenly raised her hand and touched my face, and said, "Good girl, you are my sweetheart, how can I be willing to let you die, if you want to die, it is also Yuan An, an old thing, to die." โ
I said, "But now we can't touch him." โ
The godmother was silent again.
I said, "When you have an idea in the future, avenge me, and get through this for now." โ
She said, "How can his life be worth yours, how can we do this to kill eight hundred enemies and lose a thousand to ourselves?" โ
I said, "You can't just let the intrigue of this old thing succeed like this." โ
She stared at the oil lamp and said word for word: "He won't succeed!" โ
I stared at her.
She added, "I'll ask him to hand over the roster obediently." โ
I don't believe that a person who is determined to harm others can be obedient and obedient?
Am I too stupid, or is she too smart?
