there are bandits

From late May to June, the Japanese army bombed Chongqing with planes that even the U.S. government could not stand it anymore. They issued a statement accusing the Japanese planes of bombing indiscriminately, protesting that their actions threatened the U.S. embassy.Japan responded to the US asking them to evacuate their nationals.

Chongqing, anxious!

In Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, not far from Shanghai, the bacterial troops of the Kwantung Army spread 70 kilograms of typhoid bacteria, 50 kilograms of cholera bacteria and 5 kilograms of plague fleas on the streets of Ningbo, causing a plague epidemic.

In Shanghai, worry!

At this time, the five-phase meeting of Japan expressed its position: fully support and assist the Wang puppet government.

The dog skins worn by Minglou and Ah Cheng became more and more unpopular at home, so they simply hung them in the office, and changed them there every time they had to wear them, since they were never allowed to appear at home anyway.

The one in the eldest sister's hand, the one in Mingtang's place, and the one tricked back by Du's mansion, the three patterns put together really spell out a map.But there are ravines, ravines, mountains, valleys, where is the point, how to find it, how to get there, what problems will you encounter after you find it, why it is said to be so scary and mysterious, is there a place where you can go and never return? There are no labels or explanations on the picture.The entrances and exits marked on the map are not as long as Mingjing said, from the south to Chongqing Beitong Chengde. Is it because Mingjing knew it wrong or was limited by the conditions when drawing the map, so that it cannot be detailed?

Once the things are in hand, there are also a bunch of problems that follow.Whether to give to Suzuki, how much to give, and how to give?Minglou and the others instantly felt the burning pain of being pregnant.

May 6, Dragon Boat Festival.

Manli arrived at Ming's house early in the morning, and Aunt Gui and Ah Xiang had already prepared glutinous rice, pork, candied dates, zong leaves and other raw materials.When Manli arrived, the four women set up a small table by the gate to bask in the sun while making zongzi.Manli was not familiar with this, and if she didn't hold her hand underneath, the ingredients scooped in would always leak a string from the funnel-like shape.

She sat on the small stool and stomped her feet: "Oh, I'm a waste of money, what should I do?"

Ah Xiang brought a small washing basket and picked out Man Li's leftover rice dumplings and put them separately: "These are cooked separately for the young master to eat."

"Then he will be at a disadvantage, no! Then I will pack a few more to win by quantity."

I thought she would have some good idea behind her 'No', but ended up packing a few more.Ming Jing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't turn the corner right away.When she saw that she quickly finished wrapping another one, leaving out a lot of glutinous rice as usual, she laughed and patted Man Li with the rice dumpling leaves.

"You, you, look exactly like Mingtai. Mingtai was afraid of his elder brother since he was a child, so he didn't know who could control the other, you or Minglou?"

"Elder sister! I'm afraid of him, Chief Ming is very fierce."

"He is fierce outside. When he enters this house, he is afraid of everyone, only a paper tiger."

The words Ming Lou said to her made Ming Jing's heart sour and painful for a long time.This younger brother who seems to have exquisite and long-sleeved skills in the officialdom is said to be very prestigious and well-connected in French academic circles.However, Mingjing understood that Minglou was always lonely in his heart.When he was a child, his father raised him as his successor. After the family was in trouble, Ming Jing supported the family on the bright side, but Minglou knew that the eldest sister took care of the family for his future.Later, with Mingcheng and Mingtai, he changed from his sister's younger brother to his younger brothers' elder brother.Brothers can be naughty, but he can't; brothers can play tricks, but he can't either.Ming Jing didn't know when he joined the military command, but he didn't discuss such a big matter with her, the eldest sister.She wasn't angry that he didn't trust her and didn't rely on her, but she felt sorry for him for not speaking.A person is too self-reliant, on the surface it is the pride of the family, but in fact it is the failure of the family.No one does not want to be valued and cared about.

In the heavy rain, if a person opens an umbrella to shield his valued family members, half of his body will always get wet.Who will support that half for him, even if it is just to wipe the half with a cloth.

"You are not afraid of leaking money, you two hold hands together, our Minglou is a man who gathers money, don't forget that he is studying economics!" Ming Jing took Man Li's hand that was wrapping Ye Zi, and put a spoon on it Added another piece of lean meat: "He likes to eat meat dumplings."

Manli lowered her head, with Ming Jing's words in her ears, she cast her eyes on the pot of meat, thinking in a low voice: "Then why don't you add an extra piece to the previous rice dumplings...?"

Ah Xiang, who was sitting across from her, heard it clearly, and covered the meat bowl with her arms like a piglet: "No, no, Brother Acheng and the young master also want to eat."

"It turns out that Axiang is the one who loves me the most in our family. I remember."

Ah Cheng's voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Yu Manli was so frightened that she suddenly turned around and looked up.Minglou and Ah Cheng stood behind them silently.

"You...shouldn't you be at work? You walked so lightly, why didn't you hear the sound of the car. Ah Xiang must have seen you facing the gate before saying that..., Ah Cheng..."

Yu Manli looked up at Ah Cheng with all kinds of obedient looks.Ah Cheng looked down at her uncompromisingly, and Ah Xiang stammered, "I... I didn't... I didn't see...".After speaking, he looked at the young master's face again, thinking that it was terrible, would he be fined if he didn't let the young master eat, so he went to look at the young lady with blinking eyes, and went to find the one who hadn't slept until now. The young master who got up did not know where he was.

Yu Manli was about to stand up to ask Minglou for advice, but before she could turn her head away, her hands were already held.Ming Lou leaned down and held her right hand, took the spoon and scooped up a piece of meat steadily from the meat bowl protected by Ah Xiang, and added another piece of meat to the one in her hand that had already been added by Ming Jing. .Ah Xiang's eyes widened, but she didn't dare to stop her.Aunt Gui looked carefully at the hands they were holding for a while, then turned her head to look at Ah Cheng, her eyes were full of kindness and warmth, as if she was persuading him, but also like a family comforting her.

"Don't be afraid of them, what's wrong with too much food, show them to eat."

"But... my eldest sister said, if you enter this door, you will be afraid of everyone..."

"It's not what it used to be. I hold a pair of hands that can withstand a strong grip. The strength is great. Who are you afraid of? Let them try."

Ming Lou's soft voice rang in his ears.She didn't dare to listen, and she didn't dare to look into his eyes.It is too deceptive, too easy to sink and make people forget the reality.

"En." She responded lightly.

He took out his hand, wrapped the zong leaves on his hand and wrapped it up, and added a few more when tying the rope.It is really a big meat dumpling that is tied up with five flowers, is particularly easy to identify, and has the most filling stuffing.

Recently, Manli has gradually felt that the better people in the Ming family treat her, and the closer and familiar she is with Minglou, the less secure she has a small place in her heart.Her deep inferiority complex and disapproval of herself are the bait used by Suzuki and Wang Manchun, and it is also her emotion for many years.These cannot be changed overnight.Her fear at the beginning was that she was really afraid that Der Spiegel would dislike her, and such emotions would come up unconsciously and trouble her.When she faced it alone, she sometimes suppressed it forcefully, and sometimes let it spread to endless...

She thought, in fact, I am the same as you.I am not afraid of anyone outside, but when I enter this house, I am afraid of everyone.

Amid Ah Cheng and Ming Tai's clamoring about the unfairness of someone having exclusive rice dumplings, the bustling Dragon Boat Festival was officially over.And Minglou and Mingcheng went home to fulfill Minglou's promise to take pictures together.

Several people went to Guo Qiyun's photo studio in the car driven by Ah Cheng, leaving Aunt Gui and Ah Xiang to watch the house.When she said that she was going to take a family portrait, Manli became nervous again. Why is this the whole family? If you want the whole family, you have to call Miss Cheng.

Mingtai sat on the side and muttered that Jinyun had gone to his hometown, and he hadn't seen her since he came back from Zhangjiakou.Otherwise, she wouldn't be bullied by her elder brother and Manli like this.

Minglou ignored him, and turned to ask the eldest sister: "I heard that the elder sister has leased Ji Shi Da Pharmacy. Is the Ming family going to practice medicine? It's not easy to buy medicines these days."

Ah Cheng and Mingtai both thought of her going to Hong Kong carrying penicillin like a box of bombs.Mingtai grabbed the elder sister's arm and joked, "Eldest sister, after that, do you just get medicine at home when you see a doctor? There are all kinds of medicine?"

"No matter how bad the world is, people eat five grains and suffer from all kinds of diseases, so the medicine store still has to open. The Japanese must also get sick, so they can also ban it? I have my own way. This medicine store has its own production channels, It’s just that the boss was a little timid and said he was going to avoid Hong Kong.”

"Your line is ridiculously expensive."

The Japanese couldn't help but ignore it, and it had to be because Minglou, a big sister, didn't want to see the dog skin in front of her.The whole family knew it in their hearts, and no one would tell the truth.

"Hey, take care of yourself, okay? Either you give me Cheng as the shopkeeper's financial management, or you just shut up and don't talk. Besides, I don't do it alone, and the risk is shared. The boss recommended it. a partner."

partner?Minglou and Ah Cheng looked at each other, full of doubts.

And this doubt was immediately explained after pushing open the door of the photo studio.Minglou would rather not have this explanation than see that it was this person who came to clarify doubts and explain.

The few people in the room who were most familiar with this person were all stunned on the spot, and this person only faced Ming Jing alone.

"Chairman Ming, what a coincidence."

"Yeah, what a coincidence." Ming Jing didn't expect that Cao Cao Cao Cao had arrived. "Are you taking pictures alone?"

"I'm alone, so why take photos? I just like to look at the photos in the window." The man lowered his head, his face was full of gloom at the right time, and he showed a little envy for his family in a vague and measured way: " During festivals, I prefer to look at the reunion photos of the family, to feel the harmony."

"Ah..." Ming Jing didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, and turned around and pulled Ming Lou to introduce: "This is the partner, Boss Wang."

"Chairman Ming has a lot of people in his family, I'm envious."

"Boss Wang," Minglou called out with a hard voice, with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand.

Wang Tianfeng looked at the hand with the five fingers straight and airtight for a second. If it weren't for the bright mirror, he wouldn't be holding it under the current situation if he was killed.But he also knew that Ming Lou would never pinch his finger bones in front of Ming Jing.

"Hello, Young Master Ming."

He has done a good job of mental construction, and he can feel the eyes of those students are staring at him.He readily stretched out his hand and shook it in a way that people can't lose.He was prepared to respond with a smile even in the face of brute force, but Minglou just touched it lightly, and withdrew his hand before his five fingers closed.It's like playing a game where two people face each other to see who will fall, and it's like pulling a thousand catties with four or two, he is too strong, he will definitely fall!

Wang Tianfeng cursed in his heart: "Your uncle!"

Yu Manli flinched when she saw Wang Tianfeng.She said that she really didn't like taking pictures, so she asked Minglou and his family to take pictures first.She sat back at the big table where she played scratching and watching.Wang Tianfeng came over and sat beside her.

"Teacher" There was a little timidity in her voice.

Wang Tianfeng swept a glance, "In the soft language of Wu Nong in Shanghai, he is well-raised. The clothes are also beautiful."

Wang Tianfeng took out his cigarette and lit it, and the chair moved back a little, leaning on the back of the chair and watching the laughter of the Ming family in front of him.Mingtai is playing tricks on Mingjing, and the three men are obviously teasing Mingjingle.Mingtai even yelled that this studio must have a lot of beautiful clothes, and asked everyone to change their clothes, and everyone in long robes and jackets had to wear them.The eldest sister can't always wear a cheongsam, she has to wear a foreign dress to take two photos, and what about the big tutu skirts of Russian women.Ming Jing smiled and slapped Ming Tai while shaking his hands.Minglou and Ah Cheng agreed on the sidelines, and Minglou glanced here from time to time.

Wang Tianfeng smiled, he was not afraid of confrontation in the air.He raised the cigarette in his hand and lit it there, slowly exhaled the smoke ring and said, "Snakes are good with skin. They can transform, they can pretend to be anything, and they can act like anything. What kind of rich young master is an affectionate son, a fake hooligan and a wicked young man?" Even the shoeshine on the street who sings on the stage, or the one who points out the situation in the school’s pristine newspaper, he can afford it and let it go.”

Yu Manli also smiled, which sounded like a compliment.She didn't care whether he was praising or belittling, she reached out and slowly peeled off the lollipop wrapper on the table.

Wang Tianfeng was sitting behind half of her head, so he couldn't see her expression clearly.Today's Man Li's hair was loose, and a strand was picked up from both sides and tied into a small bun on the top of her head.He could only see the ear and the curve of the cheek looming between the hanging hair.Wang Tianfeng smiled, almost viciously, as if he couldn't get used to such a quiet scene, he continued: "But there is one thing, he has never acted well, guess what it is?"

The lollipop that Yu Manli had just put in her mouth hit her teeth, and with a bang, she almost broke into pieces.The taste of lychees hadn't dissipated yet, she just felt numb in her mouth, and the taste was gone.

The family in front of the camera is either sitting or standing, circling around noisyly.From time to time, Guo Qiyun shouted: "Laugh, one, two, three".Minglou was pushed by Mingtai and squatted in front, and put her hands on Mingjing's lap to lean up with a look of admiration.

Hours ago these hands held her and said he held a pair of hands that could withstand a hard grip.Are you yourself?Is it a person who can withstand the storm, withstand the pressure, withstand his strength, and afford a common future?

Maybe not, they just thought it was.

Her eyes were moistened by the appearance of the family of four in front of her.Ming Jing waved at her, she shook her head softly, feeling pain in her heart, she couldn't help but nodded again.

Gritting her teeth, Manli answered the teacher with two words from the abyss of her heart.And as soon as these two words were spoken, she was stunned again.It's not as sad as she imagined, and it's unspeakable as she imagined.Is it because the hand has been held, even if the road ahead is not necessarily easy, there is no time to turn back.

"Prostitute."

When Wang Tianfeng first heard these two words, his originally meaningless face froze for a moment, and he looked over again from the side.

This was not the first time Wang Tianfeng said these two words to Manli, nor was it the first time Yu Manli said these two words.When he went to death row to bring her out, it was a walking dead.With those two words and the bloody cruelty that went with it, he had turned her into a weapon, a weapon without heart, without emotion.However, when he said these two words again today, he felt that she was alive.

Alive, it was not good in the past.Now, it is no longer within the jurisdiction of Wang Tianfeng.What the instigator did by himself should be cleaned up by that person himself.In Wang Tianfeng's life, there is only one thing worth doing and must do, and that is to resist the Japanese, and to drive away the devils.He doesn't care about other people's other matters, their identities or their party affiliations.He is like a unicycle facing the wind. Even if he cannot balance, he will have his own hands and feet and row forward.

They said he was a coward and a madman.In fact, he took his own guts and was willing to cut himself to pieces.But what about being crazy if you make your ambitions successful and you are content with your life? !

He leaned forward and reached out and flicked Mary's lollipop.

"Is there any more lollipops?"
