Findings at sea

The Shanghai Anti-Japanese Salvation Association was formally established.From business leaders to ordinary people, no one is allowed to accept business from the Japanese.A group of people in the gang stood guard in front of the rice store and coal store with their guns in their hands. First, if someone broke the rules of saving the National Congress, they had to be taught a lesson, and second, they were guarding against Japanese excesses to protect the store.

Two Japanese people openly provoked and caused trouble at the gate of the city hall. After being arrested and detained, they were found to be Japanese spies. After accidentally injuring three prison guards, they committed suicide by drinking bullets, which was an extreme act.

A few days later, Ji Xingtang went to Tinghuan Langyuan to pick up Ruoyu, and Du Ziming saw them off at the door.After Ji Xingtang settled down, he sent him back to the house, "Brother Tianbao, I've troubled you so much these days. Wanqian takes care of his body, and I'll come to see you when I'm free."

Du Ziming closed the novel in his hand and put it on his lap, looked up and said with a smile, "These days, you will take care of me when Mr. Shan Si is not around, so there is no trouble. You don't have to worry, he will be back when I open my eyes tomorrow."

Ji Xingtang carried him from the wheelchair to the bed, gathered the quilt, and said inadvertently, "Oh, that Japanese doctor."

Du Ziming clenched his fist and coughed, "Shansi Jun is just my personal doctor, he won't bring a gun to the city government to make trouble."

Ji Xingtang took out a small jar of sleeping pills from the drawer of the pillow cabinet, poured two pills, and handed him the water.It was pitiful to watch Qiao Ming melt the white pills into his mouth. His whole body smelled of phenol, tincture of herbs mixed with the smell of alcohol.

Qiao Ming reached out and fumbled in the drawer again, he wanted laudanum.Ji Xingtang was really afraid that one day he would be poisoned to death, "Brother Tianbao..." He wanted to stop him, but on second thought, let's forget it, the death of medicine or not is something to be said, it's a thing to continue life, it's not sure if you don't take it now will die, "Alright, you can rest alive."

Du Ziming put down his book and lay down on the bed. With the snow-white walls, fluffy white quilt, and pale cheeks, the sound of whistles wafting from outside the window, so far away, he seemed as angry as him. The peaceful dead in the song.

Ji Xingtang drove Ruoyu back.

Ruoyu was out of his mind all day long, and when Ji Xingtang asked him what was on his mind, he said nothing.It's normal to go to the declaration hall or be with Ji Xingtang; it's not normal to go back to Tinghuan Langyuan or see Du Ziming.Moreover, he became more and more dependent on Ji Xingtang invisibly. If he didn't depend on him, he would stop thinking about food and drink, and his behavior would become crazy. Back to bed.I still have to sleep with him today, even so, I still sleep unsteadily, as if I was entangled by some kind of monster, and I have to wake up several times a night.

In the middle of the night, Ruoyu suddenly opened her eyes, and tightly grasped Ji Xingtang's hand, Ji Xingtang was woken up by him, just like this again.He hugged his body tightly, "Zixuan? Are you too tired? Don't worry too much about finding Er Niang. I'm looking for someone to check. According to the information you transferred, I won't be here within three months." There will be results."

Ruoyu didn't know whether it was a dream, fantasy or reality, but she saw Du Ziming sitting on the grass, the table was full of small enamel dishes filled with crystal clear and tender raw meat, and next to the clear water pot was a fresh woman's alluring paws.It didn't make him afraid, but when he saw Du Ziming's face, pale skin, red mouth, smiling slightly and deeper eyelids, he felt inexplicably terrified and afraid.Furthermore, he had a sexual dream, that is, two bodies of jade white and porcelain white were having sex together, knowing that it was not Mu Ke who would not be able to wake up.

Ruoyu leaned into Ji Xingtang's arms, "Brother, is that brother Tianbao really sick? Why do I think he seems to be able to move?"

Ji Xingtang saw that he wasn't trembling like the previous few times, so he could talk to him calmly, "Huh? Why did you ask this suddenly? He had a strange disease since he was a child. A fortune teller said that he would not live to be an adult. Later, a gentleman changed it for him. Named, dragging his body to live up to now. Did it scare you?"

Ruoyu thought it was because he was too filthy to think like that, but Du Ziming's ghostly appearance would always startle him every time he came out, maybe he was thinking too much, luckily he won't see him even if he doesn't go to Tinghuan Langyuan in the future It's him, "No, it's time to sleep."

Ji Xingtang patted him on the back, "Why is it always like this these days, if it's really not possible, I'm going to take you to find Eisen."

Ruoyu said, "I'm really fine." He asked again, "Brother, do you think there will be a war in the northeast border? Will there be a war here?"

At this time, Japanese planes had already started bombing Jinzhou, Xinmin, Gongzhutun, Harbin and other places, blocked Dalian Port, and sent troops to Shanghai.

Ji Xingtang said, "Sleep with peace of mind. There are international agreements. If they dare to attack the concession, all countries will attack. When you are on weekends, I will take you there, okay?"

"Why are you suddenly free?"

"I, I have something to do that day. Small things, I can take you for a while after finishing them..."

November.

Ruoyu finally waited for the news, the fear these days had already become unbearable.The good news is that Mu Ke has news; the bad news is that it is not good news—shortly after arriving in the Northeast, the Japanese attacked, framed and killed his uncle, swallowed the mine, and supported his cowardly son Became the chairman of the Kanto Chamber of Commerce.The cousin looked for his cousin Mu everywhere, trying to win him over and persuade his father to serve as a running dog for the Japanese. Mu Ke shot him in the head and killed the guest of the Kwantung Army commander, and now he is a wanted criminal. He and Du Zihao disappeared among Ma Zhanshan's subordinates.Mu Rusong was going to save his son, but General Ma knew that he was the one who killed the Japanese lackey chairman. He took a fancy to this kid and refused to let him go.Then the battle broke out at the Nenjiang Bridge. General Ma led his troops to stop the Japanese invasion in the area around the Jiangqiao, but the battle still started.After half a month of fierce fighting, the blood was stained with dust, and the whole country knew that General Ma led his troops to fight against the enemy bravely, and defeated the Japanese army's attacks many times. Don't dare to go out at home.Ruoyu dare not be unhappy.

Ji Xingtang said that he wanted to find Lu Qiaqing if he had something to do.After entering the Lu family mansion, I saw Lu Qiaqing sitting in the living room in a long robe and mandarin jacket, drinking tea and humming a tune leisurely.The lady on the swing frame was still dressed in the old boudoir style. When she heard someone coming, she held up the corner of her skirt and lowered her head shyly to run into the house, but bumped into Ji Xingtang who was walking in. The glass hairpin on the bun accidentally fell into Ji Xingtang In his hand is Jinniang.

Lu Jinniang ran away without even looking up at him.

Ji Xingtang held the little hairpin with flowers and put it in his pocket at a loss.

Seeing Ji Xingtang coming, Lu Qiaqing hurriedly got up to greet him, "Brother Xingtang, don't come here without any problems."

Ji Xingtang said politely, "Where, I didn't come to condolences when you were injured a few days ago, sorry."

Lu Qiaqing smiled, with a flirtatious look, beckoned Ji Xingtang to sit down, and asked someone to bring him some tea, "Hey, it's too late to say that. I really respect you before it's too late."

Ji Xingtang was at a loss, he was probably talking about resisting Japan and saving the National Congress. "Oh, it's not my idea to set up the Anti-Japanese Salvation Association. It's a pity that you were injured."

Lu Qiaqing waved her hands again and again, and said with a smile, "Brother Xingtang, don't lie to me. I asked the staff to find out. You bought those flours, and you processed 20 cakes in the shop and sent them to the Northeast." It didn't disappoint General Ma and the heroes who fought against the enemy."

Half a year after Yiju opened, all of Ji Xingtang's money was used to repay the debt, and he didn't have the capital to send food and salaries to the Northeast Army.Ji Xingtang said, "Mr. Lu, you made a mistake. I am not the one who donated to charity, and besides, I..."

"Xingtang, I know that you keep a low profile. But this batch of flour is not a small amount, and it is used for good deeds for the country and the people. I must know who ordered it. At first, your disciples did not want to leave their names. , Later, I threatened him a few times before saying that it was Ji Erye who asked him to come, and I will ask Jin Lang to go to the newspaper office tomorrow to publish this matter in the newspaper."

"No, it's not me," Ji Xingtang quickly refused, "Old Lu, I really don't have the capital to do such a good deed, and besides, I'm here today to discuss with you about fundraising."

Lu Qiaqing was still praising him for his good deeds, but he didn't listen to Ji Xingtang's words, so he waited for him to calm down before talking about the donation.Ji Xingtang thought that someone had donated 20 cakes to the Northeast Army in his own name, so why did he shirk his eternal reputation to himself.

When Lu Qiaqing calmed down, Ji Xingtang expressed his intention, "Old Lu, General Ma is a true hero who fought bravely against the enemy on the front line. Not to mention the outnumbered enemies and the poor equipment, their team has no military pay, so it's hard work. I I want to raise a sum of money to go to the Northeast to support them in fighting against Japan. Mr. Mu’s son is also under the general’s command. He donated 10 yuan himself. Brother Baoshan and I are discussing holding a celebrity election in Shanghai, and those playboys and celebrity families are willing to spend money on this, and the money raised can be used for good deeds rather than letting them spend it on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling."

After hearing this, Lu Qiaqing nodded again and again, and then smiled, "Well, it's a good idea, let me donate directly, I can't do things like brats and girls."

Ji Xingtang took out the glazed hairpin from her pocket and put it on the tea table, "It's not difficult, but no one took the lead. Those ladies in Xian Lesi Paramount are indeed attractive, but they can't be called ladies." , There are too many people talking, and it is inevitable that the common people will feel that they are trying to make money secretly. Find some well-educated ladies and ladies to come forward, and this matter will become popular."

Lu Qiaqing somewhat understood what Ji Xingtang meant, he wanted his own Jinniang to recruit them, but he flatly refused, "No, no, how can I let Jinniang wear gaudy clothes to show her face? Absolutely not. "

Ji Xingtang knew that he would not agree.But the talented people who have friendship with him and have daughters are almost at this age. Some of them are wearing suits and mandarin jackets in their minds.There are also those ladies who have stayed abroad, when they heard that they were raising donations for the country, their parents would not let them go, but they still wanted to go. It’s just that a single flower is not as good as a hundred flowers blooming. If you want to start a fundraising event, you need to persuade these old people with affection and reason. pedantic.

Lu Jinlang just came back from school in a neat Chinese tunic suit.When I entered the yard, I saw Ruoyu. He didn't look like he was frightened last time. He was wearing a plaid shirt and a small bow tie, sitting on the swing with his chin in a daze. He was as cute as a jade porcelain doll.

Lu Jinlang walked over with a smile, and stretched out a hand, "I heard Ji Xingtang call you Zixuan."

Ruoyu saw that he looked like a serious scholar, got up and shook hands with him, his hand was soft but strong, looking at his peach blossom eyes, Ruoyu couldn't choose what to say, "My name is Yin. You smile like a flower fox."

Lu Jinlang laughed out loud, stroked his wind-blown hair, straightened Zheng Ruoyu's bow tie, "Flower fox? In the eyes of my little sweetheart, am I a flower fox?"

Ruoyu took two steps back, deliberately smirking, "I thought you were some decent person, you young masters are all virtuous. Am I a girl, either a little kiss or a little sweetheart?"

Lu Jinlang saw that his brows were like black and his eyes were watery, he looked better than his sister, but his tone of voice was not that of an obedient sweetheart. "Mo An, I didn't mean to laugh at your sissyness." He quickly changed the subject, "Your brother's surname is Ji, and your surname is Yin. They are not real brothers."

Ruoyu sat back on the swing again, "No, better than a real brother."

Lu Jinlang walked behind him and pushed him, and Ruoyu started to swing, only to hear him say, "My surname is Lu and my name is Jinlang. I'm new here and I don't know where my little sweetheart is?"

Ruoyu gripped the rattan rope tightly, this person is really casual. "You can't talk about being tall, the little editor in the newspaper."

As soon as Ruoyu swung down, Lu Jinlang stroked his back and swung him up, "Reporting Office? Or Newspaper Office? Times Office?"

"Declaration Hall."

"It still takes some skills to get in."

"No way, my brother has friendship with the boss, he asked someone to send me in."

Lu Jinlang had never seen such a shrewd and upright person, so he couldn't help laughing.Ruoyu turned her head and glanced at him, "boring." She stopped the swing and went back to the car.

Seeing that his father was discussing business, Lu Jinlang went back to the backyard.Passing by Jinniang's room, I wanted to see what she was doing, writing at the desk.Skip the swing, get up lazy and slender hands.The dew is thick and the flowers are thin, and the sweat is light and the clothes are transparent.Seeing guests come in, the socks are knocked out and the gold hairpin slips away.He walked away in shame, leaned on the door and looked back, but sniffed the green plum.
