Before Mu Tian could come to his senses, Hu Ti asked, "How are you smiling?"
"Take your hands out." Ji Ruoxi ignored Hu Ti and stared at Mu Tian and ordered.
What bright eyes.
"take it out!"
Ji Ruoxi emphasized her tone.
Mu Tian obediently took out his hands that were in his arms, but for a moment he didn't know where to put them, so he crossed his hands and rubbed them.
Ji Ruoxi laughed twice more, "You forced yourself into my car and you didn't know where to go." She moved her body, "You said there were bad guys chasing you, are you kidding me?"
Mu Tian still didn't calm down and kept rubbing his hands.
When Hu Ti heard the bad guys chasing him, he glanced out the rear window.
Four or five young people chased him out of the intersection, scurrying back and forth, left and right.
"Here they are, those people behind, drive quickly."
Yao Lishun saw those individuals in the rearview mirror.
"Miss, it looks like someone is really chasing me."
Yao Lishun hated people wearing uniforms most in his life.
Nowadays, in troubled times, anyone can get together, put up a banner, and the whole plaque is an organization. They put on uniform clothes, and then start doing whatever they want. Then, you don’t know what happens next.
A few days ago, it was these men in youth clothes who arrested his neighbor, Old Broadhead, in the middle of the night.
"Let's drive and get out of here first."
"Then go to the newspaper office first?"
Yao Lishun asked as he started the car.
"Okay, Uncle Yao."
Yao Lishun nodded silently and started the car.
Mu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, but became even more at a loss because Ji Ruoxi looked at him as if waiting for an answer.
Where to go, where should we go?
This problem we face every day actually has no solution.
At the very least, it is incomprehensible to Mu Tian at the moment.
Life is made up of the constant going back and forth from here to there, and from there to here.
This is proof that people are alive.
Mu Tian came to Shanghai in his previous life, when he was in his second year of graduate school.
He came here with his junior sister to do research for his graduation thesis at Songjiang University.
However, for seven days, he stayed in the old papers in the library and never went out for a walk.
"leave here."
This is not the correct answer because it is too vague and ambiguous.
"Bang, bang!"
The sound of gunfire was dull.
Mu Tian turned his head quickly and looked through the rear window.
The young men in youth attire came after me wildly.
"Hurry up, they're catching up!"
Mu Tian couldn't help but exclaimed.
Yao Lizhun also saw it in the rearview mirror and stepped on the accelerator.
"Sit down, miss!"
He did not forget to tell him about his daughter's wealth.
Sincere love!
No wonder Ji Ruoxi calls him "Uncle Yao". It is reasonable for the master and servant of an ordinary family to call him "Old Yao". It should be rare for an elder to call him "Uncle Yao".
It can be seen that the relationship between the master and the servant in front of me is the best. It should be rare in this era for a wealthy daughter to treat a servant like this.
Mu Tian couldn't help but feel good about her, and turned his head to look at Ji Ruoxi.
Ji Ruoxi saw Mu Tian looking at her out of the corner of her eye, but luckily she turned to look directly at him.
Mu Tian wanted to say something, but his lips moved twice and nothing came out.
Ji Ruoxi smiled softly and said to herself: "Jiangbei guy."
She spoke Shanghai dialect, which Mu Tian could not understand. Although she occasionally heard Mu Shangyun and Xia Ruhua talking in this language when they were in Peng County, when she saw him coming, they changed to Peng County dialect.
"Jiangbeilao" is a general term used by Shanghainese for people north of the Yangtze River. It has a somewhat contemptuous meaning. If these words are said when two people are at odds with each other, it will be a bit of a curse.
However, Ji Ruoxi had gone to a new school and advocated equality between people. She hated these three words in her heart, but she said it without any contempt at all. It was just that she could hear the disdain in front of her.
The young man who shines in front of me has just arrived in Shanghai. This is just a well-intentioned judgment.
"You, what did you say?"
"Oh, I mean, this is your first time in Shanghai."
"Yes, yes." Hu Ti replied quickly.
Ji Ruoxi only looked at Mu Tian: "Visiting relatives, doing business, studying, or..."
"Escape." Mu Tian said sincerely.
Ji Ruoxi said "oh" calmly.
She has seen too many people fleeing in recent years, but usually those who flee are bringing their families with them, but the two young people in front of her came together, so it is definitely not as simple as fleeing.
This is a person with a story.
"Where is your hometown?"
"Small place, Peng County." This time it was Hu Ti who answered.
"That place is very famous, but I have never been there."
"Is your family from Peng County?" Yao Lishun turned around in surprise and asked excitedly.
"yes."
"Oh, then we are still fellow villagers. My family is from Teng County. It's just one stop north of your home by train."
"Hello, uncle."
"Okay, okay." Yao Lishun was a little excited and didn't know what to say.
"Fellow, that's great, Uncle Yao. You can walk around more often in the future." Ji Ruoxi said happily for the sake of others, and then turned to Mu Tian. "What's your plan?" Ji Ruoxi's tone was a little concerned.
"No, no. Just run away, escape..."
"Don't those who are fleeing have a plan? Do you know how many of today's celebrities and tycoons in Shanghai fled back then? This is a paradise for adventurers, the Paris of the East. As long as you dare to think, dare to do, and work hard, you can have anything.
Maybe. Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s just talk about Uncle Yao, who was also a refugee back then..."
"I can't drive." Mu Tian said solemnly.
"Haha, let me use an analogy. Besides, my family only has this car."
Mu Tian felt embarrassed and felt that what he had just said was the stupidest thing he had ever said in his life.
"I haven't asked for your names yet."
"Mutian."
"Huti."
"My name is Ji Ruoxi, and I am an intern reporter at Oriental Morning News."
She said, holding out her palm.
Mu Tian was stunned.
Hu Ti understood and stretched out his hand to shake it lightly.
Mu Tian rubbed his hands on his clothes and shook them lightly.
"That's it, fellow countryman. We will be friends from now on. I originally planned to send you off to the police station as kidnappers," Yao Lishun said while maintaining his excitement.
Ji Ruoxi laughed softly twice more, "Really, Uncle Yao?"
"Of course, if you break into the car, you'll probably have a gun on you, so what if you're not a kidnapper?" Yao Lishun said seriously.
"Do you have a gun?" Ji Ruoxi stared at Mu Tian and said with a sneer.
Mu Tian nodded subconsciously.
"Patrol room?" Mu Tian asked, purely to relieve his own embarrassment.
"It's the police station in the concession."
"I know the police station, what is the concession?" Hu asked.
"Well, I can't explain it in a sentence or two. We are now in the concession, the French Concession. Didn't you see that the police just checked Uncle Yao's ID?"
"Oh, just now, there was a foreigner." Hu Ti's words were obviously expressive.
"The French Concession is relatively safe. Even the Japanese have to abide by the rules here."
"No way." Hu Ti felt that this girl's words were not credible. She was still young and couldn't see through it.
"Of course, after August 13, the concession became an isolated island. The Japanese also dreamed of swallowing up the concession, but they did not dare to cause trouble due to the remaining power of the Western powers. However, the Japanese army will march into the concession sooner or later."
Ji Ruoxi said worriedly.
Thinking of the gunshots he heard during the Pengxian battle, Liu Qinghuai, who was covered in blood and dying, and Master Miaoxing who lost all his strength and persuaded them to flee home overnight...
Mu Tian sighed softly.
Hu Ti was also speechless.
"Let's not talk about it for now. The French Concession is relatively peaceful now, at least that's what it looks like on the surface."
Mu Tian and Hu Ti nodded.
In fact, they didn't know why they nodded, probably because they believed Ji Ruoxi's words.
"Since you don't have any plans, then I will make plans for you?" Ji Ruoxi asked with dancing eyes.
Mu Tian and Hu Ti looked at each other for a moment, then nodded frequently to Ji Ruoxi.
"Okay. I think you need to find a place to live first, and then apply for a residence permit for the concession. I have a friend who works in the patrol house. He can help with this. Then you can find a job. This way you can live in Shanghai.
We have taken root." Ji Ruoxi said continuously, regardless of the two people nodding frequently.
"Miss, we're here." Yao Lishun stopped the car and called.
Through the car window, Mu Tian saw a very impressive building. Next to the door downstairs, there was a bronze plaque with the name "Oriental Morning News" hanging on it.
"Well," Ji Ruoxi responded and said to Mu Tian, "Let's solve the housing problem first." After a brief pause, "Let's live in the Dahua Apartment first. Everything is there, and daily life is very convenient. Every room
There is regular hot water and electric fans.”
Mu Tian and Hu Ti nodded repeatedly and had no idea of their own.
"Uncle Yao, take them to Dahua Apartment later."
"Okay, miss."
Ji Ruoxi took out another business card from her handbag and said, "If you take this with you, just say that I recommended you to go there and you will get a discount."
Ji Ruoxi's words made them both feel warm and grateful.
Mu Tian took the business card with both hands, and Hu Ti quickly said thank you.
Ji Ruoxi smiled, stretched out her palms to grab something in the air, opened the door and got out of the car, and disappeared into the doorway.
