star sea is you

Ji Shaobai nodded, expressing that he knew, "Your father has never done anything evil. As far as I know, he has also helped many innocent people. Some protesting students were caught and released." Premise It is under the circumstances that the Japanese do not pursue it.

"That sounds good." Wen Wen smiled, shook his head and walked away with his hands behind his back.In his opinion, Ji Shaobai doesn't look like a member of the Communist Party.

Wen Shixuan put his finger to his mouth, tiptoed to the door, put his ear to the door and listened for a while before opening the door.There was no one at the door.Only then did he walk back and lie down on the bed with peace of mind, with his hands under his head.

Ji Shaobai said hesitantly, "You think you need to explain to me why the Japanese are chasing you." Before coming, the old ghost had already told him about Wen Shixuan, and he knew the reason.

"Sir, it's better not to know. You, you can teach at school with peace of mind. There are big things in our generation."

"Aren't you worried about yourself, in case—" Ji Shaobai carefully observed Wen Shixuan's expression.

"If everyone doesn't do it because they're afraid they'll lose their lives, we'll have nowhere to go when the Japanese take over our country. It's better to take the initiative than to die, and we're determined not to Be a subjugated slave."

"What about your father? Does he know what you did?"

"My dad knows some things and doesn't know some things. He thinks he can protect me and turn a blind eye to me within his sphere of influence. However, what I did is not dangerous."

"is it?"

"I'm also just doing things that aren't important."

Wen Shixuan has a good impression on Ji Shaobai.A passionate, upright and high-spirited young man, with a proud body, is not afraid of danger, and bravely advances.It's just that he doesn't really want Wen Shixuan to join the underground party, and he doesn't know why, he just wants to see this kind of Wen Shixuan, proud, instead of living with a mask like him.

Ji Shaobai came out of the mansion, and Wen Wen sent a driver to take him back.He didn't refuse.Going to the mansion is to test and find out whether Wen Shixuan is suitable for becoming a party member.

The streets that used to be bustling, now look empty this evening.On the road, only Wen Wen's car was driving on the road.

"How many years have you been driving Mr. Wen?"

"Fifteen years, sir," replied the driver.

"15 years, that's a long time."

"Yes!"

The driver looked to be in his 40s, with dark skin and a strong body.

"Will this car be stopped if it goes out of the city?" Ji Shaobai asked after a moment of silence.

"Sir, do you want to leave the city?"

"No." Ji Shaobai laughed a few times, patted the empty seat next to him, showing an envious expression, as if he was reluctant to part with the car. "Just to ask, isn't the city closed now? The trains and docks are guarded, and people check when entering and leaving the city. Will Mr. Wen be checked when he goes out of the city?"

"Sir, you are joking. Mr. Wen is the chief of the police station. Which policeman has the guts to check the chief's car."

Ji Shaobai couldn't see the driver's expression clearly, but he could hear how proud the driver was speaking.The bottom of the society like a driver, if he can drive for the director, he will feel that he is superior, and everyone will look up to him, but he has pity for ordinary people.Far from being poor but being really poor.

"Let me tell you, when the police and puppet soldiers guarding the city see this car, they have to move the fence away. I drive this car without stopping, you know. Except for the Japanese, there is no Chinese. Dare not to give face to the director. No, even the Japanese, Yamada, you know, he has to shake hands with our director. Our director is also the brother of the director of the special operations department, and a friend of many high-ranking officials in the puppet army."

Ji Shaobai got tired of hearing it, turned his head and looked outside through the glass window.Regressive people and retrograde buildings flash past quickly.I remembered the prosperity when I first arrived in Shanghai. The Shanghai Grand Ballroom sang songs every night, the streets were crowded with cars, horns sounded urging, and pedestrians flocked in an endless stream.As prosperous as Shanghai was in the past, it is now desolate.Before arriving at the place where he lived, he asked the driver to stop and walked back by himself.He didn't want to cause unnecessary panic.He walked a few steps back to the gate of the courtyard, looked back, the car had already left, he turned and walked in another direction.

"Wen Shixuan is suitable to be a party member."

This sentence is what Ji Shaobai said to the old ghost just now.

During the few days locked in the room, Wen Shixuan finished reading all the books Ji Shaobai brought him.Thinking of returning it to him in a few days, he didn't want to have too much contact with this person.He rolled over and lay down.Ji Shaobai would make him feel faintly uncomfortable, an indescribable feeling.

After Ji Shaobai came back from school, he buried himself in the kitchen to make dinner.

A casserole was burning in a small fire.

The kitchen is busy, people come and go.

An elderly woman walked up to Ji Shaobai.

"Mr. Ji, someone is looking for you."

"Ah, okay, then help me watch the fire." Ji Shaobai put down the fan that was fanning the fire, and went out with a cane, and saw Wen Shixuan in uniform standing outside the door, walking back and forth impatiently.He came across the yard.

"How did you come?"

"I'll return your book."

Ji Shaobai pushed open the door and went in first, "Come in."

After Wen Shixuan came in, he took out the three books that Ji Shaobai had lent to him from his schoolbag and put them on the table in the middle, and looked around.The house Ji Shaobai rented was not big, half the size of his room.On the far right is a bed, next to the bed is a bedside table, a shelf with many books on it, and a desk with a stack of books on it.In the middle of the room is a round wooden table, some years old.In the past are some wooden basins and other daily necessities.The lighting in the room is ok.

"Sit down first." Ji Shaobai greeted, turned around and walked to the cupboard, poured a glass of water, brought it over, and put it in front of Wen Shixuan.

"Sir, don't be too busy, I'm going home now."

"Wait a minute." In desperation, Ji Shaobai blurted out.He could feel Wen Shixuan's indifference towards him.Although I respect him more than before, that's just the appearance.

Wen Shixuan stopped at the door, turned around and faced Ji Shaobai.

"I have other books here, do you want to read them?" Ji Shaobai could see the hesitation on Wen Shixuan's face, and Ji Shaobai helped him make a decision. Out of the box was a book that was forbidden for Japanese people to read.

Wen Shixuan's eyes lit up, thinking that there shouldn't be too many people to meet, but he wanted to read this foreign book for a long time.After some inner struggle, he finally put the book into his schoolbag.

"Thank you."

"I want to go out of the city to worship in the future. The road in the countryside is far away, and I have difficulty moving..." Ji Shaobai said, looking at his feet, "Can you ask your driver to drive me, just one afternoon." He practiced these words many times.

"The day after tomorrow?"

Ji Shaobai was a little anxious, just as Wen Shixuan finished speaking, he continued, "Is there any problem?"

"No, who is Mr.?"

"My parents, they passed away a few years ago. Because of my feet, I haven't gone to worship for a long time."

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

"It's okay."

Wen Shixuan hesitated, "Since that's the case, it's fine for Mr. to wait for me here the day after tomorrow." In the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, his father is going to visit somewhere, it's okay, he has a solution.If it is a deal to be quiet for a few days without causing trouble, he thinks his father will agree.

"Thank you then."

Ji Shaobai looked very happy, and his tone of voice was a little cheerful.

"I was cooking lunch just now, let's stay and eat together." Ji Shaobai said.

"it is good."

Ji Shaobai went to the kitchen.Wen Shixuan wants to follow to help.

"Don't come in, you just wait in the room, there is a lot of smoke here." Ji Shaobai shouted towards the door.

It was close to noon.it's clear.

Ji Shaobai came out of the courtyard, walked for a while, and saw the car he was sitting in before parked under a locust tree.I discussed it with Wen Shixuan before, so I will wait here.

Wen Shixuan saw him coming, got down from the front row, opened the door of the back row, let Ji Shaobai get in the car first, and then he himself got in the car.

The driver is still the one who sent Ji Shaobai back.After seeing this acquaintance, the driver greeted him kindly.

"Hello, Mr. Ji."

"Hi, sorry to trouble you."

"It's an honor to do things for the young master."

The vehicle started slowly and headed towards the direction from Shanghai to the countryside.

Wen Shixuan insisted on going with him, but Ji Shaobai didn't refuse anymore, he was afraid of arousing suspicion.

When approaching the gate guard, Ji Shaobai asked them to stop.

The car stopped on the side of the street.

"I want to buy some ghost paper, can you accompany me, I forgot for a moment." Ji Shaobai scratched the back of his head and said to Wen Shixuan.

"Uncle Qi, wait here for a while, I will accompany Mr., and I will be back soon."

"It's okay, let's go." The driver looked like it didn't matter how long you went, and laughed a few times.

Ji Shaobai was leaning on crutches, and Wen Shixuan was walking beside him. The two walked through several stores before finding a store that still bought these.The shopkeeper said that the living can’t get enough to eat, so how can anyone buy these? The other shops are closed, and this one is the only one left on East Street.The price is outrageously expensive compared to those in the past, and it was Wen Shixuan's money.

On the way back, Ji Shaobai walked very hard, so he walked slowly, and Wen Shixuan also slowed down in cooperation, walking side by side with him.There were many people on the road, Wen Shixuan protected him from being hit by others.The way back took twice as long as the time it took to come.During this process, Wen Shixuan did not show any impatient expression.

"Sir, take your time."

After getting in the car, Ji Shaobai breathed a sigh of relief, his face was sweating, Wen Shixuan suddenly took out a handkerchief to help him wipe the sweat.

Ji Shaobai hid to the side uncomfortably, "I'll do it myself."

Wen Shixuan noticed the embarrassment of the other party, and laughed a few times, as if he was a little at a loss.Let go of your hand, the handkerchief is in Ji Shaobai's hand.The word Shixuan was embroidered on the handkerchief, probably it was embroidered for him by his aunts, Ji Shaobai guessed in his heart.He had heard Wen Shixuan tell these things about his aunt before.

"Uncle Qi, let's go."

The driver restarted the vehicle and headed for the exit.The car should have been seen from a distance, and the fence in the middle would have been removed.But today the fence has not been removed, and there are three or four policemen and a few puppet soldiers standing in front of the fence.They gestured to him to stop.

The driver had to stop, and angrily poked his head out of the car window to swear some bad words, but saw four or five Japanese standing beside him, he immediately changed his smiling face, nodded and bowed.

"Hi sir."

When Ji Shaobai saw the Japanese, his heart tightened, he leaned forward, crossed his hands in front of his knees, stared at the front, and looked at them from the corner of his eyes.
