A different kind of Lou Chun - "The Pretender" colleague

After an unknown amount of time, someone was caressing his forehead in a trance, and his body was wrapped in a blanket for warmth.Minglou woke up with a start, and slowly sat up straight.My head was still dizzy and heavy, and my whole body was aching and limp.

"How are you, brother?"

In front of him was Ah Cheng's anxious face.Ah Cheng supported his shoulders and said worriedly: "You have a fever, I'll call the doctor."

"No need." Ming Lou spoke with an unbearably hoarse voice.

Ah Cheng hastily brought him a glass of hot water, watched him take a few sips slowly, then picked up two aspirin from the table and ate it, his voice choked up: "Did you fall ill again last night? Why didn't you call me? How can you not catch a cold after staying here all night?"

"It's just a low-grade fever. It's okay, just take the medicine and you'll be fine."

Ming Lou looked up at the gray window: "What time is it? Is it dawn?"

"It's still early." Ah Cheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother, go and have a rest. I'll clean up this place, and I'll call you later."

Minglou saw his demeanor, and said clearly: "Come here so early, tell me what's going on. Is there any news from Yan'an?"

Ash just nodded.

"How to say?"

Acheng handed him a piece of paper: "This is how to contact Shaou. The frequency, time, and call sign of the radio station are all on it. In addition, there is an address and number of a mailbox. The key is in the post office. I will go to the code book later. Take it back together. In the end, it was a way to ask him to meet. However, the leaders of Yan'an have repeatedly emphasized that Shaou is assisting us in our work as a special commissioner of the Central Committee. In order to protect your mutual identity, do not contact directly unless it is an emergency."

Minglou nodded, a trace of disappointment faintly flashed in his eyes.He took the note and read it carefully, then lit it with a lighter and burned it.

"I thought we could meet each other, but who knows it won't work." Ah Cheng was very regretful: "Why make it so mysterious!"

"The commissioner of the Central Committee has a special identity, and mine is also very special. The organization deliberately arranges that we belong to two lines, do not meet each other, and do not know each other's identities, in order to minimize the chance of exposure. The less we know, the less we know. The safer."

"Of course I understand this truth, but the organization doesn't understand the situation here. Wang Manchun has already told you the information directly, which means that she also guessed your identity. Since we have already guessed your identity, why don't you confirm it?"

Minglou silently clenched his hands into fists and didn't speak.

Why doesn't he want to confirm and prove that the person he has always cared about is a comrade, not an enemy.Why didn't he want to be able to take off the disguise in front of her and be his true self.

In the end, he still restrained the impulse and said lightly: "Since it is an order, we must obey it. Ah Cheng, send her a report in a while, tell her the true identity of Nightingale, and help her if necessary."

"All right!"

Ah Cheng sighed and agreed: "By the way, the code name of Sha Ou can no longer be used. From now on, it will be renamed Snow Leopard. Let the enemy think that Sha Ou has died."

Minglou was shocked, grabbed him suddenly and asked, "What did you say? What did you change your name to?"

"Rename to Snow Leopard." Ah Cheng was startled by his sudden gaffe: "What? Is there any problem?"

Minglou tightened his hands, closed his eyes and slowly shook his head, gritted his teeth and tried hard to control his emotions.Even though he had already expected it, at the moment of confirmation, he still couldn't hide the excitement and shock in his heart, as well as the thousands of complex and fragile emotions.

"Brother, do you know it's her?"

Ah Cheng understood: "It's the name Snow Leopard, which has special meaning to you?"

"Yes."

Minglou simply responded with one word.After a moment of silence, she continued, "She used this code name to directly reveal her identity to me."

"Then she is too courageous, right? What if you are not the person she wants to contact, but really Wang Puppet?"

Various emotions floated in Minglou's sea-deep black eyes, but he didn't answer.

"It seems that she really believes in big brother, and bet with you with her life." Ah Cheng sighed, secretly delighted.

Ming Lou did not show any joy. Instead, he sighed deeply: "Actually, after all these years, what I hope most in my heart is that when I see her again, she is already a married woman with children around her knees. Forget about the past and the past, and live a normal life like an ordinary person." day."

"Brother!" Ah Cheng knew his intentions, and comforted him with a sore nose: "Don't worry. She is different from elder sister Mingtai. She has been lurking for so many years and is a well-trained and tried-and-tested central commissioner. Japan No one has suspected her until now, she will be fine."

"I hope." Minglou closed his eyes and stood up with the help of the table: "It's dawn, let's get ready to go to work."

Ah Cheng hurriedly held him down and said anxiously: "Brother, you still have a fever, please take a day off today."

"No. A peace conference is imminent and we have a lot to do."

Minglou's tone was firm.Seeing Ah Cheng's worried face, he patted him with a smile and said, "It's okay, I'm already much better. And at this juncture, any unusual behavior will attract unnecessary suspicion. Do you understand?"

Ah Cheng nodded, but still worried, he followed Ming Lou step by step until he walked to the door of the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" Ming Lou stopped and turned around to ask.

"Brother..." Ah Cheng looked worried.

"I won't faint."

Minglou was amused and helpless, so he could only reassure him with a more emphatic tone, and told him, "Go and get me a cup of coffee and bread."

"Okay." Ah Cheng had no choice but to back out, muttering in a low voice: "Be brave! It's not like you haven't fainted..."

The new government office is still busy with people coming and going.As usual, all kinds of official documents and materials are usually delivered to Minglou's office.

Ming Lou finished handling the several urgent items at hand in one go, feeling dizzy.I had to put down my pen and rub my temples, close my eyes and take a rest.

Ah Cheng pushed the door open and came in, seeing him like this, he immediately lightened his steps.

Minglou had already put down his hands and sat up straight, and asked him, "Are you in touch?"

"Yes. Snow Leopard made two points: First, she wants us to notify Nightingale and immediately monitor the phone calls between Liang Zhongchun and herself. If there is any emergency, she can report to us as soon as possible."

"Nightingale hasn't done this yet?"

"Nightingale has just arrived, and I don't know how closely Wang Manchun is watching the Telecommunications Department. I told her to act cautiously. Therefore, no substantive work has yet started."

Minglou nodded: "There's no need to worry about it now. Go tell Nightingale and start working immediately. However, you can't reveal Snow Leopard's identity to her."

"Yes."

Cheng went on to say: "Second, Snow Leopard asked if we needed explosives, she can find a way."

"You reply to her: The explosives are settled, don't take any risks."

"it is good."

Ah Cheng responded, and asked again: "Is there anything else you want to tell her?"

Minglou was silent.

Thousands of words seemed to flash through his intimidating dark black pupils one by one.In the end, only eight heavy characters were condensed:

"Be careful and protect yourself."

The author has something to say:

Exhale——finally washed Manchun clean.I like this character, he has a lot of personality.
