Chapter 218 Danger! (The third update of the alliance leader [Duck Clan Old Five Buried Heart] 6/6 Monthly Pass)
"Gardenia, white orchid."
"Gardenias, white orchids, buy one for two cents."
Sanni was carrying a bamboo basket and hawking along the street on Honolulu Road.
The sensible Douzai followed his mother and helped shout, "Gardenia, white orchid."
Occasionally, passers-by would stop and buy flowers.
The best sellers are white orchids.
If I buy one, I will pin it on my chest.
If you are generous, you will buy a bunch of fresh and moist white orchids, carefully wrap them in a handkerchief, put them inside the buttons of your cardigan, and put them close to your body under your armpits.
The fragrance can be smelled, but the flowers cannot be seen.
"Gardenia, white orchid." After shouting, Sanni picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She glanced at the telegraph hall diagonally opposite from the corner of her eye.
The staff of the Telegraph Office, Miao Pu, are comrades of our Party.
This comrade's task is not to pay attention to the people who call, but to pay attention to the calls that come in.
Maybe the hundreds of incoming calls were normal, and what he was waiting for was the unusual call.
…
Ding ding, the phone is ringing.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" Miao Pu picked up the phone, chewed melon seeds in his mouth, crossed his legs and asked casually.
"Hello, I'm looking for the man I just called."
"There are so many men on the phone. I know which one you are talking about?" Miaopu said angrily.
"He was wearing a black suit, a yellow tie, his hair was parted in the middle, he wore gold-rimmed glasses, and he had two pens stuck sideways in his pockets."
"What are you looking for him for?" Miao Pu's heart tightened, and he spat out melon seed peels in his mouth, and asked lazily.
"I'm his cousin. The boss he asked me to pay for couldn't come. He drank fake wine and ended up in the hospital."
"I know, if that person comes again, I'll let you know." After saying that, Miaopu hung up the phone with a click.
She casually picked up a bundle of white paper tied with a rope hanging next to her, tore off a piece of paper, glanced around, and when she saw no one was coming, she quickly wrote a sentence with a pencil, and then rolled up the paper.
Put it in the peel of melon seeds that I smashed and cover it.
Then, he slowly picked up a wooden board and hung it outside. On the wooden board was written: I have something to do, I will be away temporarily.
At the same time, he picked up the water glass that was placed at the back of the table and out of sight. After taking a sip of water, he placed it casually in the middle of the table so that it could be seen from the outside.
Sanni, who had been paying attention here, changed her expression, bent down, and patted her son's shoulder three times in a row.
Here, Nursery came out with a dustpan and poured the peeled melon seeds into the corner.
Then she saw a little boy running over and digging through the melon seed peels.
"Young fool, you'll get a stomachache if you eat my saliva." Miaopu cursed, spat on the ground, and walked back with a curse in his mouth.
No one noticed Douzai, who was squatting and picking up melon seed shells. He secretly found the rolled up note, put it into his pocket along with a handful of melon seed shells, and ran away happily.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"We'll eat in a while. Business here is not good. Mom will take you somewhere else." Sanni said, holding her son's hand and shouting "Gardenia, white orchid" as she walked away
opened.
…
Masinan Road.
Peng and Ou's home.
Shao's mother is cleaning the room.
She looked at the clock and yawned.
At this time, Shao's mother heard the cry from outside:
White orchids, gardenias!
Shao's mother felt nervous, something happened.
Normally, Sanni's shout should be 'Gardenia, white orchid.'
This means that nothing happens and everything is safe.
When Sanni shouts "white orchid, gardenia", it means something has happened, or there is important information to be conveyed.
Shao Ma picked up the vegetable basket and was about to open the door and go out.
But he went back and put down the vegetable basket.
It was only half past ten in the morning, and she always went shopping after lunch.
It is abnormal behavior to go out with a vegetable basket now.
Shao Ma opened the door and pretended to tidy up the flower pots at the door.
"White orchids, gardenias." Sanni continued to sell.
"White orchids, gardenias." Douzai shouted after his mother.
"Flower seller, how much does it cost?" Shao's mother waved.
"Gardenia, white orchid, buy one for two cents." Douzai shouted before his mother.
"This kid is so delightful." Shao's mother touched the child's head lovingly and took out a dime, "Here, here's a bunch."
"Thank you, thank you, kindhearted person, Bodhisattva bless you." Sanni thanked her repeatedly and handed over a bunch of white orchids.
While Shao Ma took the white orchid, she held the note that Sanni had handed over secretly in her palm.
"Buy gardenias and white orchids for two cents each." Sanni carried a basket and continued selling along the street.
"Mom, I'm hungry."
"Mom will buy you some steamed buns."
There was a conversation between mother and son outside the door.
Shao's mother quickly opened the note and read it, her face changed drastically.
She rolled up the note again and took off the hairpin.
The hairpin was hollow, so she carefully stuffed the note into it, twisted it, and put the hairpin back on.
Later, Shao's mother went to the second floor and took in the clothes to be dried on the second floor, and also took in the bamboo poles used to dry the clothes.
He took out a shabby red cloth strip and tied it to the bamboo pole, then put the bamboo pole back outside again.
The signal conveyed by this bamboo pole tied with tattered cloth strips is:
Something happened, it's dangerous, don't get close!
After doing all this, Shao's mother hurried out, called a rickshaw, and went straight to National Fudan University.
…
National Fudan University, Professor Peng Yuou from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature is giving a class.
Peng Yuou was dressed in a long gown, holding his hands behind his back, writing on the blackboard with his right hand, and holding a cigarette in his left hand. The cigarette was burning, and the ash was about to fall.
"This passage in "The Battle of Zuo Zhuan"." Peng Yuou turned around, put the remaining chalk on the table, pointed to the passage he wrote and asked the students.
"The ears and eyes of the division are with my banners and drums, and we will follow them when advancing or retreating. This chariot can be used by one person in the palace, so that we can gather things. How can we defeat the king with his illness? If he wears his armor and holds the troops, he will die immediately. The illness has not reached death, but my son
Encourage it."
"Which classmate can explain what this sentence means?" Peng Yuou asked with a smile.
"Teacher Peng, I'll do it." A young male student said loudly.
"This is what Jie Zhang said to Marquis Qi that he would fight to the death. He said that the ears and eyes of the army are focused on our battle flags and drums, and we must obey him whether we advance or retreat!"
"As long as there is one person guarding this car, the war will be successful."
"How can the important task of the national army be ruined just because of pain?"
"Wearing armor and holding weapons in hand means you are determined to die, and pain will not kill you. Therefore, my lord, please give me the order to fight to the death!"
"That's very well said." Peng Yuou nodded, "Please sit down, Mr. Hou. Is there anyone else who would like to share their understanding of this passage?"
"I'll do it." A handsome female classmate with short hair stood up and said.
"The meaning of this passage is that as long as there is breath and as long as one person is alive, we must continue to fight. As long as everyone is determined to die, no one can enslave us!"
As she said that, the female classmate paused and raised her arms, "Classmates and compatriots! The Chinese nation has reached its most difficult moment. The Japanese invaders invaded our land and killed our compatriots. What should we do?"
"Down with Japanese imperialism! Pledge to the death and not be a slave to the country's subjugation!"
"Stop the civil war and unite with the outside world!"
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Not to be a slave to the country, but to die!"
The students stood up one after another and shouted in unison.
