Fawn

Tianjin fell, and the urban area was bombed into a sea of ​​flames.Cheng Shiteng is very safe in the concession, but since the concession has become a sea of ​​flames, the concession is still an island no matter how safe it is. Although Cheng Shiteng believes in the strength of European and American countries, he also knows that the Japanese army has no possibility of dropping bombs in the concession. But the isolated island is an isolated island after all, he lives in it, and he doesn't know whether it is better for him to stay safely and continue to live, or pack up his parcel and escape to a safer place.

Logically speaking, of course, he should have fled far away, but no matter how he escaped, it was nothing more than fleeing from one concession to another—although he was a Chinese, he did not dare to set foot on the land of China. up.

The sound of the distant cannon gradually subsided, and Cheng Shiteng stood in front of the window on the top floor and looked out, seeing that the refugees on the street outside the door were also evacuated day by day.At this moment, apart from him, there are only a group of servants and bodyguards who have no thoughts but only actions.Noble was not there because his family was devastated by the bombing of Japanese planes.

When the flames of war raged to Tianjin, Cheng Shiteng told him to go home early and take his wife and wife into the concession to take refuge, and also sent several bodyguards to help him.But Noble thought that he was only going to pick up two people, and they were two adults, so they didn't need to escort them around, so they left in a foreign car.

As a result, not long after he arrived in the city, the Japanese plane arrived.

His square, beautiful little house was reduced to ruins during the bombing, but his mother and daughter-in-law escaped to join him. However, after the bombing ended, the refugees on the street gathered into crowds, and they all headed into the foreign concession. Chung.Fearing that the plane would come again, Noble rushed forward frantically to clear the way for his mother and daughter-in-law. When he turned around, he suddenly found that both his mother and daughter-in-law had disappeared.

Laibao wanted to go back to look for it, but at this time the crowd was moving together, and he was wrapped up in the crowd without touching the ground, and he couldn't help him in which direction he wanted to go.

Later, the Japanese planes came again, this time not only bombing, but also shooting the ground with machine guns.Noble was the first group to be drawn into the concession by the crowd. Except for the loss of shoes and clothes, there was no damage to his body, but his mother and daughter-in-law were both killed.

It was in the early morning of the next day that Noble found the bodies of his mother and daughter-in-law among the dead.The old lady has not enjoyed the blessings with him for a few days, and the daughter-in-law has just become pregnant. Noble never expected that his family would be ruined suddenly, and he cried to death.And Cheng Shiteng also died of Lao Tzu, he was very sympathetic to his feelings, gave him money and time, and let him take care of his family's funeral.

There was no Laibao at home, and the boy Cheng Tingli sent over earlier—a little deer-like in appearance—was also dismissed by Cheng Shiteng because of his unclean hands and feet.He has no interest in soliciting this kind of physical partner again, so now whether he is sitting or lying down, he is alone.After standing in front of the window for a long time, he turned around and sat down in front of the sofa, and began to read the newly arrived newspaper.The newspaper is produced by the newspaper office in the concession. Because it is neutral enough, the authenticity of the news can be trusted.

The Japanese army is approaching Zhangjiakou, and there is still some distance from Donghezi where Xiaolu is.To what extent the situation will deteriorate next, no one can predict.Cheng Shiteng couldn't make any suggestions to Xiaolu, and he couldn't even get in touch with Xiaolu at all. All he could do was sit at home and read the newspaper every day. The more he read, the more he was desperate, because he felt that the Japanese army was coming menacingly this time. There is room for peace talks.

If there is no peace talk, then there is only a fight.If you want to fight, you have life and death, you lose and you win.

Cheng Shiteng was reading the newspaper in the dark room, thinking about things on his mind, and fell asleep thinking about it, and unconsciously dozed off on the sofa.

Then, he dreamed of his father.

In the dream, Cheng Tingli was pacing back and forth anxiously in front of him with his hands behind his back, while he stood aside with his hands hanging down, like when he was scolded countless times before, absent-mindedly made a gesture of sincerely accepting advice.Cheng Tingli walked to a certain extent, suddenly raised his head and said angrily: "Aren't you leaving yet?!"

Cheng Shiteng nodded in agreement repeatedly, and felt that he should go. As for where to go, he in the dream didn't think about it at all.He nodded, and Cheng Tingli was still anxious, staring at him and waving his hands, just growling: "Aren't you going? Our family has been very popular all these years, who doesn't know you, Young Master Cheng? At this time, you still don't want to leave?" If you don't go, what are you waiting for? You bastard, you really want to piss your old man off!"

Cheng Shiteng curled his lips disapprovingly, thinking that you are already dead?

With a flash of this thought, Cheng Shiteng woke up instantly.Opening his eyes and looking up, he stared at the ceiling, feeling viscous sweat seeping out bit by bit along the thousands of pores all over his body.

He didn't know if he had a dream because of his thoughts, or if his father really had a spirit after death and entrusted him with a dream.It's true that my family's tree attracts the wind, and everyone in Pingjin area knows about it, but now that I have hid in the concession land, will I still attract the wind?

The Chinese army suffered a crushing defeat. Commander Wang and others fled without a trace, and their armed backing disappeared.He has no strength, but is rich and famous. He is the son of Cheng Tingli. He has been ostentatiously employed by the provincial government as a fat job for many years. He has cultivated many people and offended many people.Now that the Japanese have come and the world has changed, what kind of wind will this tree attract?

Cheng Shiteng broke out in cold sweats one after another. Questions that he had never thought about before came to his mind. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.He asked his servant to go to the kitchen to bring him a pot of hot coffee, and drank two large cups slowly in one sip.After drinking two cups of hot coffee, his thoughts regained order.It just so happened that Noble came back at this time.

Laibao cried and cried, and buried his mother and daughter-in-law properly. Now that he appeared in front of Cheng Shiteng, he restrained his sorrow and took care of things as usual.However, Cheng Shiteng did not let him patrol the mansion as usual, but called him into the house, and told him in secret: "Laibao, I know you are sad, but for me, you can't rest, you have to Keep running."

Now that Noble has lost its small family, only Cheng Shiteng is left in his eyes.Bending over to Cheng Shiteng, he replied in a hoarse voice: "Master, I'm fine. If you have anything to say, please tell me."

Cheng Shiteng said: "You buy a ticket to go to Shanghai and take a foreign passenger ship. It's safe. Don't I have a small mansion in Shanghai? You pack it up and wait for me there."

Noble was immediately surprised: "Are you going to Shanghai?"

Cheng Shiteng nodded: "Well, the situation in Tianjin is complicated. I plan to live in Shanghai for a while, and no one knows me there. You go first, and I will wait for Xiaolu."

Laibao was a little embarrassed: "Then you plan to live there for a long time? But the house has a small gate and a small courtyard. If you go to live and play for a few days, it's okay. If you live for a long time, won't you be bored?"

Cheng Shiteng became impatient: "If you are told to go, go! What time is it, and you still pick and choose?"

As soon as Laibao heard that his tone was wrong, he immediately fell silent.

In the early morning of the next day, Noble carried a small suitcase and ran to the pier quietly without saying a word. Before leaving, he was worried, so he called a bodyguard at home and asked him to take care of the uncle for a long time.This bodyguard was nicknamed Fat San'er. As he was nicknamed, he could basically be regarded as a fat man, but his skills were not shallow, and he was especially fierce after eating. He could defeat five or six strong young men by himself.Fat San'er became the leader of the bodyguards because of his outstanding skills.Noble told him earnestly and earnestly, and he also listened with a serious expression and nodded repeatedly. Every time he nodded, he could squeeze out about three layers of chin.

After Noble left, Cheng Shiteng closed the door and began to count his property.Cheng Tingli has a new idea about money. When he gets money, he doesn't just buy a house or land, but puts it in foreign banknotes and deposits it in a foreign bank.This saved Cheng Shiteng a lot of trouble, because he couldn't roll up the land and carry it with him, let alone carry the house on the boat.

As for the amount of banknotes, it was an astronomical figure. Although Cheng Shiteng was used to big money, every time he counted it, he still felt unbelievable. He never thought that his father would accumulate such a considerable amount of wealth quietly.The passbook is easy to carry, but besides the passbook, there are many antique calligraphy and paintings in several houses in the concession, and there are also many jewelry and jade in the safe. plan, so those things will be ignored for the time being.

Cheng Shiteng settled the accounts while watching Chahar's situation.After waiting and watching for less than a week, the situation has really changed, but unfortunately it has deteriorated—the Japanese army has begun to attack Zhangjiakou.
