Under the hot sunshine, the political, financial and cultural center of Heilongjiang began to become colorful.
Foreign girls in cheongsams, Japanese women in kimonos, fashionistas in suits and Chinese girls in tutu skirts all took to the streets.
The war failed to stop people's desire for summer. The students who had marched were still discussing where to go to watch a movie after they finished. It seemed that serving the country and the people was just a matter of making a fuss on the surface. The real life was still firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
.
The old smoker was suddenly stunned when he stood in the bustling city. The bearded Xu Ruifeng, the hunchbacked Si Baozi were by his side, and even Bai Ling, who was used to doing underground work, was beside him.
There was some surprise in this city.
It's so prosperous here, so prosperous that it feels fake.
"Lao Xu, do you feel that our life in the mountains is a bit like hell, and this occupied city is like heaven?"
Just after saying this, Lao Yanqiang suddenly pulled out a knife from his waist. Xu Ruifeng calmly blocked his waist in front of Lao Yanqiang. A few people stood on a huge signboard of "Modern Hair Salon"
Next, let a group of Japanese pass by.
"take it easy."
Xu Ruifeng didn't blame him. He knew that this was the result of the old smoker's years of fighting with the Japanese in the mountains. He was just like the brothers under Lao Ma. Whenever he mentioned the Japanese, his eyes would shine with blue light.
"Um."
Lao Yanqiang neither thanked Xu Ruifeng for calming his mood nor said much about the environment in the city. He silently inserted the knife into his waist and tugged on his clothes.
Xu Ruifeng, who has experienced all this before, explained: "Actually, the city is not as good as the mountains. In the city, if the Japanese stop you, you have to take out your certificate of good citizenship. If a Chinese is on his own land, he will give it to a foreigner."
Good Citizen Certificate, just thinking about it makes you feel as sick as eating a fly;"
"There are also those annoying Japanese ronin. These bastards come out of the pub drunk at night and walk around the streets. Whenever they meet a good-looking woman, they will jump on her. I am in Beiman
When I was young, the most common thing I said to Wen Wan was, 'When I'm not at home, you're not allowed to go out at night.'"
"What's even more hateful is the group of patrolmen. Once they see the Japanese blocking a big girl in an alley, they will really pretend to be deaf and dumb and walk around. I once saw a girl with despair in her eyes in an alley in Beiman.
He waved at the patrolman, but the patrolman silently lowered his head."
"Also in our own country, the shops that entered the Japanese area were kicked out by the Japanese, and the Japanese used the bank to adjust the exchange rate and defrauded them of all the gold they had at home. There was no room to explain. This tower stands tall
Although the cities in the Northeast seem to be all about singing and dancing, who can sing and dance is not a businessman who laughs on the surface and scolds the Japanese ancestors behind his back? They create these prosperity just so that they can continue their lives."
Bai Ling looked at Xu Ruifeng strangely and asked, "You don't hate the people anymore?"
Xu Ruifeng shook his head: "I hated them, I hated them for being cowardly, and I hated them for not knowing how to subjugate the country. But after I came out of the Lu family's shack, I no longer hated them."
"When I saw the eyes of the people in the Lu family shack, I understood a sentence, that sentence is 'What can we do?'. They have no trustworthy companions around them, so they must be on guard in case they do something that will lead to being caught.
People are betrayed; there are relatives standing behind them, so why can't they just be a tortoise when they may not be able to save the country even if they try their best? At least in this way, the wife and children are still warm, no matter
As for turning around, the home behind him turned into ruins, and the people he was most familiar with turned into corpses."
"I forgive them."
Xu Ruifeng showed a sunny smile, not pretending at all.
Bai Ling was actually approving, but he suppressed it and said, "Let's see what you can do." But in his heart, he was surprised at how quickly this elder Xu changed!
Xu Ruifeng now no longer has the smell of blood on his body, and his whole body exudes the smell of the sun shining on the quilt. You will feel warm when you stand next to him. Bai Ling can't figure out how this old Xu changed.
I don’t know what Lao Ma and Lao Chu did to make him like this, but this Xu Ruifeng has changed from the No. 1 killer in North Manchuria who was full of explosive aura and would reveal his bloody aura if he wasn’t careful.
He has become a man with broad shoulders and a thick body, making you feel extremely reliable.
No, they are comrades.
"Coming."
Bai Ling deliberately changed the topic and looked at the location not far ahead and said something.
When Xu Ruifeng looked forward, a sweaty man ran over carrying the front of his gown. When he got closer, he hurried over and took the suitcase from Si Baozi's hand: "Oh, boss, can you come back?"
Now. These days when you are not here, I have no backbone, and I dare not move to do anything."
Xu Ruifeng didn't answer. He glanced at Bai Ling first. Bai Ling went over and asked, "Old Li, has the water at home been boiled? Sir, he is tired and wants to go back and take a hot bath."
"Madam, this is such a coincidence. One corner of the German bathtub we bought has collapsed. Otherwise, how about I use wooden wedges to cushion it first?"
When Xu Ruifeng heard this code, it didn't sound human. The head of the house and his wife were not at home, and a corner of the bathtub where the owner took a bath collapsed? Did your servants go in there to summon spirits?
However, it is precisely this kind of conversation that ordinary people can never say that will become a code. At least even if someone wants to intercept it, they cannot intercept it. It is much safer than Chun Dian.
"Why did the bathtub break?"
"This is not our fault. It's your dog. It came into your house to take apart things when it had nothing to do. The sofa was even damaged."
Several people walked forward as they talked, walking through Gogol Street while talking.
Xu Ruifeng can guarantee that with their chat mode, even the vigilant himself in Beiman will never take a second look. At most, he will feel that this person's words are not accurate.
On the side road of Wenchang Street, this man who looked like a butler pushed open the door of a courtyard. While he deliberately stepped aside to let Xu Ruifeng and the others go in first, he kept his eyes on the street entrance and saw that no one was following him.
, before entering the courtyard.
As soon as I came in, my whole attitude changed.
"Comrade Bai Ling, I am No. 94."
"After Comrade Nightingale was arrested by the Japanese Super High School, which paralyzed our entire underground network for four months, I was sent to Harbin by the organization. Due to the emergency, there was no replacement number, and I always used it to communicate with the organization.
The label No. 94. This time, when the organization released the mission, it was said that the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were about to enter Harbin. We were all very excited. It was time to combat the arrogance of the Japanese."
"Do you know the specific mission?" Bai Ling asked alertly.
The man replied without panic: "How is it possible? The organization has always been very strict about information control, but this incident can be guessed. After Ma Zhansan came back, riots broke out in Beiman. Miki shot civilians and was arrested.
After being transferred back to Harbin, you still don’t know what you are doing here.”
"But, since we can guess it, the Japanese can probably guess it too. After moving in, we still need to be more careful when going in and out."
"Come on, let's go inside first and I'll introduce you to the surrounding area."
Xu Ruifeng and others returned to the house following the introduction of No. 94. This was a very simple small courtyard, not even close to the German bathtub they had talked about on Gogol Street before. Who could be the common people on this street?
I can’t afford a German bathtub at home.
Inside the house, the simple wooden furniture in Mantang is still very eye-catching, but the wood looks very ordinary at first glance, not as good as the mahogany in Xu Ruifeng's home in Beiman.
"This house was rented after I came here, and it has been rented until today. Normally, no activities are arranged here. It is only placed here when important people from the station are needed."
"The neighbor on the left is named Lu and works in a slaughterhouse. The famous Ma Qianshi invested in the Binjiang company, which is the place where Harbin red sausage is produced. It's a pity that the red sausage made from our pigs is cheaper in our place.
A British company; on the right hand side, it was originally a pavilion with Qin. Recently, this kind of small love pavilion in Harbin with only one woman in charge has become very popular. It only accepts one table of customers every night and stays with her until dawn, which is at least 180 oceans. Slowly
Yes, many matchmakers in the past stopped introducing people to people, and began to set up love parlors with good-looking girls from human traffickers, which made the whole place full of losers."
"The love house next door used to be owned by such a girl. Later, it was taken over by a Japanese businessman. Now, he bought the small courtyard next door for his mother to take care of in her old age. Occasionally, she even comes back to visit her mother's house. The Japanese also
They are very polite, and they will say hello when they meet. However, when I lived here, it was obvious that people from the special high school came to use the identity of "checking water meters" to make secret visits. It may be that the Japanese used special connections to protect their own safety.
.”
"In addition, the patrol posts in Harbin are very frequent, especially near Guogeli Street. Every fifteen minutes, a group of Japanese soldiers carrying guns pass by. These Japanese soldiers are not entirely from the gendarmerie, but also from the gendarmerie.
There are city defense and garrison aspects.”
"By the way, you need someone to carry out your mission, right? Logically speaking, I shouldn't ask this in advance, but I'm afraid you have any special requirements. In Harbin today, it's no problem to buy a local gun, but if you want to buy a highly lethal weapon
, especially military-standard weapons and repeating weapons are very difficult, so it’s best to tell them in advance.”
Xu Ruifeng interjected: "We don't need anything at the moment."
Bai Ling understood: "He is right. We don't know the further arrangements of the organization yet, especially since it is not convenient for us to contact the outside world. The organization will probably convey specific information through you. When the time comes, please come and inform us.
One trip.”
No. 94 nodded repeatedly, and seemed to understand that he had asked too many questions. He reached into his pocket and said, "Everything else is easy to talk about, but we are also in trouble with the funding issue. We can only squeeze out so much at the moment. We also ask the comrades of the Anti-Japanese Alliance
Don’t dislike it.”
Seventeen or eight silver dollars were placed on the round table in the room. No. 94 looked at it reluctantly and said: "Well, everyone, please rest early. I have to go back and deliver the news to the superiors.
So that the organization can pass on the news of your safe arrival in Harbin to the Anti-League, so that everyone can rest assured."
"Hard work." Xu Ruifeng stood up and said politely, clasping his fists.
No. 94 waved his hand and walked out of the door.
The next second, Xu Ruifeng said to Wang Ming: "Follow."
Wang Ming immediately took off his coat, changed his clothes, put on his melon-skin cap and walked out with his head lowered.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ruifeng said to Sibaozi: "In five minutes, go for a walk on Guogol Street and buy some of your favorite food."
"Okay." Si Baozi pulled the silver dollar on the table, turned and walked towards the door, where he waited with his arms folded.
"Lao Xu, do you think there is something wrong with No. 94?"
Xu Ruifeng shook his head: "I don't think anyone has a problem. I just want to protect myself. Isn't this against discipline?"
He walked slowly towards the courtyard, listened carefully, and found that there was no sound from the two courtyards on the left and right. He jumped up, put his hands on the edge of the courtyard wall and pulled himself up with a little force, and then climbed up to the roof.
Lao Xu looked and saw from a high place that Wang Ming was wearing a melon-skin hat and was following behind No. 94 like a little tail. At the same time, he was also watching to see if Si Baozi had disturbed those who shouldn't be disturbed when he left...
…
Harbin.
Xu Ruifeng came here not only to guard against these little Japanese, but also to guard against the Harbin ground guns that spanned the Northeast!
