Lost and Spy

Chapter 250 In the rag camp
The past few days were the most tormenting period for Meng Shaoyuan.

It is definitely not such a pleasant thing to serve a young lady.

But fortunately, the eldest lady obviously changed her attitude towards Meng Shaoyuan a little bit.

It is no longer as frosty as it was on the first day.

Sometimes even tell him a few bad jokes.

Meng Shaoyuan was not at all relaxed.

Since ancient times, it has been said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.

In fact, the same is true of the family members who accompany those big people.

You don't know when you will cause trouble, you will make them unhappy, and you don't even know when you offend them.

When the time comes, let alone your future, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save your life.

During these few days, Meng Shaoyuan also experienced what it means to spend money like running water.

As long as it's something her young lady likes, it's just one word:

buy!
Don't ask the price, don't ask yourself whether you can use it.

The room next to her was dedicated to her other party's things, and it was already more than half piled up.

This purchasing power is really terrible.

But it seems that the eldest lady is still dissatisfied, always complaining that Nanjing's consumption level is not as good as that of Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan could only smile wryly when he heard this.

People who live in the sky will not know what the folks are like.

"Miss."

Early in the morning, Meng Shaoyuan came to Kong Lingyi's room with the snacks he had just delivered from the airport.

The servant quickly opened the dessert.

"Chief Meng, I'm leaving the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Kong Lingyi's opening remarks gave Meng Shaoyuan a feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds.

However, Kong Lingyi then said: "I have actually lived in Nanjing for many years, and I have seen everything I need to see. Today, please recommend it to me to see if there is anything interesting."

interesting place?
What can there be?
What Meng Shao originally thought was how to send her away as soon as possible.

Last night, I also received a report that a new member of the special operations team accidentally fell and was seriously injured during training. Meng Shaoyuan was really at his wits' end, so he could only let Tian Qi handle it, and asked Ren Yinghao to give it to the member's family. A sum of money was sent.

You said, in the past few days, I have been around this young lady, what else can I do?

But since she brought it up, Meng Shaoyuan really didn't want to make any troubles as she was about to leave.

The eyeballs rolled there: "Miss, if you want me to arrange, first, you can't regret it if you go, you must finish it. Second, people can't go too much."

Kong Lingyi immediately looked forward to it: "Well, I will follow your arrangement today, and you and Gao Fanyi will accompany me."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "Also, don't wear the cheongsam, change to something lighter."

Kong Lingyi became more and more interested, and everything was arranged by Meng Shaoyuan.

After breakfast, Kong Lingyi really only took Meng Shaoyuan and Gao Fanyi out.

Is there any place in Nanjing that she hasn't been to?

Meng Shaoyuan took her to Xinjiekou.

Kong Lingyi was immediately disappointed.

This commercial district, established in the 18th year of the Republic of China, is the commercial center and hub of Nanjing.

However, when Kong Lingyi was in Nanjing, I don't know how many times he came here.

"Miss, are you very familiar with this place?" Meng Shaoyuan asked.

"Yes." Kong Lingyi did not deny this at all: "I have been to every store and every bank."

"Then you are the guest there." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "But you have never been to the place I am going to take you to today."

Kong Lingyi was a little curious, but most of them didn't believe it.

Is there any place in Xinjiekou that he hasn't been to?

Meng Shaoyuan took her to the southeast of Xinjiekou.

No one has ever brought Kong Lingyi there.

Then, Kong Lingyi saw a world she had never seen before.

dilapidated!

This is the first intuitive feeling for the young lady.

There are many small alleys here.

Each alley is not long, about [-] meters, and most of them are dead-end alleys.

There are some buildings and blue-brick houses scattered in the alley, and the most common one is "linoleum" made of bamboo and wood.

In such dilapidated houses, the walls are usually pasted with iron sheets, wood, and bamboo mats, and the rooms are separated by translucent plastic skins. Usually, five or six people from three generations of grandparents live in a small room.

In summer, all kinds of mats are spread on the mud floor in the alleys, and on the mats are naturally lying children showing all kinds of strange sleeping postures.

On winter afternoons, rows of Chinese cabbage are drying in front of every house.

At the entrance of some alleys, there is a flower bed with shapeless plants growing in it, and more of the flower bed is bare soil.

On the opposite side of the flower bed is an earthen slope with a well on it, which is where all the people in the alley use water.

Moreover, an unpleasant smell kept coming.

Kong Lingyi couldn't help covering her nose.

"Meng Section Chief." Gao Fanyi was a little displeased, and said in a low voice, "Why did you bring Missy to such a place?"

Before Meng Shaoyuan could speak, Kong Lingyi said, "Gao Fanyi, I think Section Chief Meng has some ulterior motives."

"Here, from Zhenghong Street in the south, to Zhongshan East Road in the north." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "Because in the Qing Dynasty, the residents here were all poor and destitute, and there were many rags stuffed in the alley, so there was a Name, Rag Camp."

"Ragged camp?"

Kong Lingyi felt that this name was very strange.

"Most of the people who live here do odd jobs for a living." Regardless of Gao Fanyi's winks, Meng Shaoyuan walked inside with Kong Lingyi:

"Earning a day may not be enough to feed the family. What they fear most is getting sick. Once they get sick, it is impossible to see a doctor. They can only use some homemade prescriptions. Little soldiers."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly called a child over.

The child looks like seven or eight years old, and an adult's modified clothes are all his belongings.Although it is already April and the next month, it is still a bit cold, but this child has bare legs and bare feet,
He shed two streams of snot, sucked it hard and then sucked it back.

There was a demented smile on his face, and he might have some intellectual problems, looking at Meng Shaoyuan with a silly smile.

There is also a bamboo basket on the back, which contains some garbage that can be used.

"He's called Da Bingzi." Meng Shaoyuan touched his head: "When I was five years old, I got sick. It wasn't a serious illness. I had a fever. I really didn't have money to see a doctor. I finally survived and didn't die, but The brain burned out. It became what it is now."

Kong Lingyi also wanted to imitate Meng Shaoyuan and touch Da Bingzi's head, but seeing his dirty appearance, he really couldn't do it.

"Big Soldier, take it to your mother."

Meng Shaoyuan took out a few banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of Da Bingzi: "Today is your birthday, let your mother buy you something delicious."

Da Bingzi still smirked, took the money and ran away.

Kong Lingyi hurriedly reminded: "He is...a fool, in case the money..."

"No." Meng Shaoyuan smiled lightly: "The soldier is very filial and will not lose the money."
