"Boss, we are here to find Deacon Sun. There is something important..." Ah Hua explained to the two posts in Shaoxing dialect.

After a few rounds and turns, with the body and gestures, the two soldiers from Huaibei finally understood that these two local rural bullies were coming to find Sun Yong and Deacon Sun.

"Deacon Sun went out with the general before noon, not here." Huaibei soldiers replied impatiently.

"Then I'll look for Lord Li, the General Secretary Li."

"What?"

The more the soldiers in Huaibei heard it, the more surprised the two chins from Shaoxing were looking for, and they actually rose to the general.

"I just made it clear to you. Lord Li, the General Secretary of the Union, went out. Of course, Deacon Sun followed him. You still can't understand? Oh, it's so hard to talk to you. Let's go away and get away. Don't be in the way here, otherwise you two will be locked up."

At this time, a veteran who looked like a squad leader came out of the booth and scolded Ah Hua.

Ahua still didn't know who the general they mentioned was, but in fact he was the General Officer. According to the regulations of the Beiyang New Army, the General Officer was awarded the rank of major general and was a fourth-rank official.

Now, Li Cunzhi has been called a general or a grandson of the Xietong by many people.

Facing the vicious guard posts, Ahua and Xiaoquan had no choice but to stay at the intersection of the sentry pavilion that was more than thirty steps away, and could not tell that they could see Lord Xieshen or Deacon Sun entering and leaving.

In this way, the two of them squatted in a silly manner and were frozen and hungry for three hours, opposite the military affairs office of Zhejiang Province, under a banyan tree.

I squatted until dark and all the people in the yamen were exposed, but there was no sign of Lord Li and Deacon Sun entering and leaving the yamen.

Lord Li is very likely to go back to the house directly, so Deacon Sun is of course following closely.

Ah Hua was thinking about it.

It is said that the Li Mansion is not too far from here, so let’s look for it first.

The surroundings were already dark, and there was no distinction between east, west, south and north. There were few pedestrians on the road. I went up to ask, either I didn't know, or I ignored it and pointed it randomly.

Ahua and his team searched along the street for more than two hours until after 8 o'clock in the evening. They couldn't even find where the door of Li's mansion opened. How could they find it?

what to do?

I can only stay in the city for the evening first. I will wait at the yamen at dawn tomorrow morning. Lord Li is going to come to the yamen.

The idea was decided, and the nervous nerve that Ah Hua had been holding finally dropped, and suddenly he felt cold and hungry, hungry.

He was stunned when he touched his body, but he didn't even bring any money.

Living in Xibutou Village or in a kiln, you don’t need cash at all and you never have the habit of bringing money with you.

However, Ah Hua had no experience of traveling far and wide. In the past, he followed Chen Tianhua, the young leader, and he didn't need to worry about food, drink, defecation and urination.

Don’t go out today, and don’t think much about anything. I thought about how to deliver the letter, but I didn’t take anything and jumped onto the boat and left.

Now, there is no food or accommodation, and it is really hungry and cold.

It was late at night and the street was cold and the wind blew. A gust of wind blew, easily penetrated my clothes, and my whole body trembled, my hands and feet were so cold that I couldn't help but feel it.

The air after the snow seemed to be frozen, and the cold air was pouring into the neck.

"Ahua, I really can't stand it. Let's find a place that can block the wind. Otherwise, if we continue like this, we will be frozen on the street without the need to be late at night." My companion Xiaoquan murmured tremblingly.

"Well, let's go up the street and see if there is any place to block the wind."

Compared to hunger, cold is the most deadly.

So, on the dark street, Ahua and Xiaoquan slowly yearned for movement.

After exploring for nearly an hour, I finally found the house on the street.

"It seems to be a post office, and there is a message barrel at the door." Ah Hua wiped off the white snow covered the box with his elbow, restoring part of the profile of the green-skinned cylindrical message barrel.

"This window is not closed tightly, Ahua can be opened!" his companion Xiaoquan was also surprised to find out.

"Open it and let's climb in."

"Um."

The two of them tried hard to break open the frozen window door frames and finally climbed into the front hall of the post office with great difficulty.

There is a long simple table in the middle of the house, and there are several long benches next to the table. It is a place for people to write letters, fill in the contents of envelopes, seal and stamps.

"Oh, it's much warmer when I come in. My ears and mouths belong to me again, hehe..." The two of them gasped and sat on the bench, feeling quite lucky.

"We both tied each other tightly and lay on the table to rest for a while. We left as soon as the sky was dawn."

"Um!"

Ahua and the others rowed the boat for several hours, and they didn't have time to eat lunch. Now they are tired, hungry and frozen, and they don't want to move when they are lying on the table.

In the darkness, Ahua's finger touched the bowl-shaped thing, and it was a little sticky when he touched it. He picked it up and smelled it with his nose.

"Paste, this is paste..." Ah Hua shouted in surprise.

It turned out to be a paste used to seal the letter and paste stamps.

"Look for it quickly, the paste can be eaten to satisfy your hunger." The two of them suddenly became excited.

Ahua said it well. The paste from the late Qing Dynasty was made of flour or starch and boiled with water, and it was edible.

On the table, they felt a few broken bowls of paste, and what was even more exciting was that they found two large bottles of paste on the cabinet.

"That's great, Ahua, we have something to eat, hehe."

The two of them smashed open the frozen glass bottle, frozen it into a ball of paste, put it in their mouths and chewed it with hunger. After a while, each of them chewed a bottle of paste and swallowed it.

The empty and uncomfortable belly seems to feel much better. Once a person has replenished calories, he will immediately become warm.

Later, the two of them fell asleep on the table in a daze.

...

I don’t know how long it took, but the snow outside had already stopped falling. As soon as the sky was dawn, Ahua’s companion Xiaoquan heard the sound of “banglik…” outside the door.

"Someone is unlocking the door!" Xiao Quan quickly poked Ah Hua with his elbow, "Hide quickly, someone is coming."

The two of them hurriedly squatted down and then moved under the table to hide.

After a while, the door opened and a postman wearing a green and blue uniform came in. The format of the postman's uniform was almost the same as that of the Bing Yong uniform. However, on the round white patch in the middle, the word "Yong" was written not on the word "Qing Post".

After the postman came in, he did not pay attention to the mess on the table in the front hall, but walked straight into the inner room and sorted out the emails that day.

Ahua pointed at the gate with his finger and whispered:

"Go away."

The two of them tiptoed towards the gate, ran out of the gate and ran away.

After running for a long time, I saw that no one was chasing me from behind, so I stopped and squatted on the ground to breathe.

After recovering, identify the direction clearly and look for the Xietong Government Office yesterday.
