Although he was a little unwilling, Lin Ming hurriedly turned around and walked back. He was in a very excited mood. Although he did not see Li Yongxun exactly, and she spoke the so-called "Australian Mandarin", her accent was indescribable.
Lin Ming was 90% sure that the person who had changed was his sister-in-law!
He was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that Li Yongxun was safe and sound. Since he could work as an errand for the Australians, he was naturally safe and sound. This showed that he had not become a maid, concubine, and official prostitute, and that he probably had not become someone else's by "selling off the government."
Wife and concubine. And as a "catcher", she must have considerable freedom of action. What is worrying is that since she has surrendered to Kun, it is almost the same as "acknowledging a thief as her father" - and she is still a lowly servant like a catcher!
Although military households are not of a high-ranking background, government servants are out-and-out "untouchables", and the social perception is the same as that of wealthy households. If the news that my sister-in-law is working as an "Australian catcher" spreads to the Ming Dynasty, her father will
Mom is going to die of shame and anger! Even she and her wife are in disgrace. She must have been a catcher for a long time, but she didn't wait for an opportunity to escape, and she didn't come back with a letter. She has obviously been hooked on the Australians.
The "devil".
Lin Ming knew that Australians were the best at seducing people's hearts. Once one fell under the "demon" of an Australian, there would be no way to get him back.
It seems that Xiao can only be moved by reason and affection - especially family affection. Fortunately, she has a deep relationship with her wife and sisters, and her parents and relatives are still in Nanjing, so she will not be too unfeeling. As long as she can be persuaded to be willing
When he returns to Foshan, he can hand her over to her parents and family, whether gently or forcefully, and his burden will be relieved. As for any such reverie as "half a butt", Lin Ming has long thrown it out of the sky.
——For him, Lingao is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. There is no room for such thoughts.
Lin Ming was thinking as he walked, and he unexpectedly took a wrong turn. When he realized it, he was already in an unfamiliar alley.
The alley was quiet. Although there were some shops here, they had already been laid out early. There were no pedestrians on the street. Lin Ming knew he had lost his way. Fortunately, the street lights in the alley were still bright and there were street signs.
I quickly found the map, looked for it under the light, and quickly found my location.
When he saw the alley where he was, he realized that he had gone a long way. If he returned the same way, he would have to walk a long way. Lin Ming saw that not far ahead was the Wenlan River, and his heart couldn't help but move - he might as well just keep going.
Walk to the river and look at the terrain. Then take a detour back.
After making up his mind, Lin Ming walked straight along the alley. Lin Ming knew that this was not a busy city. There were mostly residential buildings along the streets, and he could best see the livelihood of the people under the rule of the thief.
There are not only very few pedestrians in the side streets and alleys, but also rare Australian cars. However, no matter how deep and remote the alley is, it is always illuminated by street lights. The streets are mostly paved with stone slabs, and they are very clean even at night. Not only are there no garbage, urine, or
You can't even see the standing water. There must be a toilet at the entrance of the alley, and there is a public well platform in the middle of the alley, which is very convenient.
The town built by the thief Kun is really particular. No wonder so many people would rather shave their heads and change clothes than join Kun. He was secretly admiring when he saw that the shops and houses along the street had been closed. There were very few lights in the cracks in the doors and windows.
Yes, obviously most of them have gone to bed. They thought to themselves: This is how to live and work in peace and contentment. If everything is as lively as Dongmen City, it will feel abnormal.
While walking, suddenly there were footsteps on the street in front of him. Lin Ming took a closer look and saw a group of "Fake Kun" in short coats coming across the street. The leader was holding a blue lantern. Lin Ming looked at them.
It's like "doing business" and I want to hide in a nearby alley, but the street lights here are very bright, so hiding will inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion.
Thinking of this, I had no choice but to greet him as if nothing had happened. Fortunately, he had his ID and nothing illegal on him.
Sure enough, the patrol came and blocked his way. The leading detective put the five fingers of his right hand together and raised it to the side of his head. At the same time, he made a snap sound, put his feet together, and roughly saluted, and said: "Picket at night."
.Check documents.,”
Lin Ming secretly screamed: "How come you found me?" He was very nervous, but he tried his best to steady himself and not let this nervousness show up. On the other hand, he laughed along with him and respectfully handed over his ID card with both hands.
He went up. The fake Kun took it and checked it carefully by the light of the street lamp.
"Lin Min... Temporary certificate? New here?" There was suspicion in this voice. The lantern was immediately lifted close to his face, probably to look at his face. Lin Ming's face felt unnatural.
At this time, he could already see clearly that except for the leader who was wearing a "police" black uniform and a bamboo hat, the colors of the uniform markings of the others were not the same. Obviously, they were not all "doing justice." It was just that everyone wore them on their arms.
A red sleeve band with the words "Picket" written on it.
This was a night patrol. Unexpectedly, although there was no curfew here, Kunthi was very cautious in patrolling at night. No wonder there were no watchmen or duizi soldiers in the streets and alleys.
"Yes, I just arrived in Lingao three days ago..." Lin Ming hurriedly said, "Working on the Haixing." After saying that, he quickly took out the "Employment Certificate" - not only did it have the stamp of the Haixing on it,
, as well as the seal of the employment office and the seal of temporary household registration. Shopkeeper Qian said that this certificate is sometimes more useful than a temporary ID card.
He originally wanted to take out a few circulation coupons from his sleeve and stuff them together, but he didn't know what the "market" was like here. Bribery of officials is very particular, and it is easy to make mistakes if you give too much or too little. Besides, he has also heard that
The thief Kun is very strict, and most of the fake thiefs dare not accept bribes.
The leading policeman murmured a few times to a few people around him, and looked over his ID several times. He probably didn't see anything suspicious, so his expression softened slightly and he handed the ID back.
"Where are you going?"
"Go back to Haixing..." Lin Ming said quickly.
"You're going in the wrong direction." The fake police officer's face showed suspicion again, "If you go further, you will reach Wenlan River."
"The little one was busy in the shop all day, so he went out for a walk to get some fresh air... He walked around the river and then went back to sleep..."
What else did the fake police officer want to say? The other fake Kun next to him seemed to know where Lin Ming wanted to go. He held back his laughter and whispered a few words. The fake police officer suddenly had an expression of "sudden realization". He stopped asking.
He ordered:
"Recently, the security at night has not been very good. Robbery cases have occurred from time to time, and some have injured people. You should be careful when walking alone." The policeman warned, "Don't go out too late at night."
"Yes, yes, thank you sir for reminding me."
Lin Ming had sweat breaking out on his back. He didn't know the fake Kun, and he didn't know what he said before he stopped questioning. But at this time, he didn't have the intention to think too much and hurried forward. He only heard the footsteps behind him.
As it gradually faded away, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after walking, the alley has reached its end, and in front of us is a raised stone embankment, which is similar in height to the city wall and is made entirely of stones. Various flowers, plants and trees are planted along the road under the embankment, and there are also areas for people to sit and relax.
The benches are very quiet.
Lin Ming knew that this was probably the Wenlan River. He saw there was a ladder to climb up the embankment, so he walked up.
Stepping on the river embankment, a gust of breeze blows, and I can't help but feel relaxed and happy, and my mind is widened. Looking far ahead, I can see the bright lights of Dongmen City, as bright as the Milky Way. On both sides of the river bank, you can also see dots of lights everywhere, reflected on the river
The street lights on the river embankment rippled like fish scales in the night wind... Lin Ming had never seen this night scene before. Even the city of Guangzhou during the Lantern Festival did not have such bright lights.
"It's really a night scene worth millions of dollars!" Lin Ming couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of happiness in his heart. He just stared blankly at the sister-in-law, Da Ming, and the thief... He completely forgot about it, and only after a while did he turn his gaze.
Received it back.
He reluctantly walked along the river embankment. There were also patrols on the river embankment. Lin Ming, with his experience just now, was very calm and the whole journey was smooth. As he was walking, he suddenly heard another burst of people's noise in front of him.
There were also faint sounds of silk and bamboo playing and women's singing. I suddenly wondered, this is already the edge of Dongmen City, and the map is full of side roads and narrow alleys. How could there be such a lively place?
Fortunately, this was also the place where he turned to return. Lin Ming came down from the river embankment and followed the sound of the road. Not far away, he saw a square gate tower on the side of the road. On the lintel were inlaid with three large characters "Heyuan Street."
". There are two pink palace lanterns hanging at the entrance of the gatehouse. They are not used for lighting under the street lamps, but instead add a bit of lust.
The laughter of Sizhu and the woman became clearer at this point. Lin Ming was stunned, where was he going? When he walked to the street, there was a short alley, the road was not wide, and there were small buildings on both sides - and other
The streets are no different.
However, pink lanterns are hung at the door of every house here, and the entire street is shrouded in pink. There are no pedestrians on the street, and the sounds of silk, bamboo and human voices come from every house.
A person like Lin Ming had already understood in a moment: This is Lingao's Courtyard Street! No wonder the patrolling thieves had such expressions: The route they wanted to take was originally going to pass through this place. They must have thought that
I came here to buy sex and have fun.
Lin Ming secretly smiled bitterly. In the past, he wouldn't have bothered to open this "big meat" and have a taste of this "Australian secret show" - according to someone who claimed to have tried it, "They are all unheard of in the world."
"Love and enjoy". But now he has a heavy responsibility and there are no big merchants around him to pay his bills. He only has a few circulation coupons around him, and he still has to wait until next month for payment.
Thinking of this, Lin Baihu had no choice but to walk sadly from the entrance of the square. He quickened his pace and walked back all the way, and soon returned to the Haixing. When he returned to the backyard, he saw that Wang Xinglong had come back, and he was happily chatting with a few A colleague talked about his experiences in Dongmen City.
