I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Xiangzi carefully put the 200 US dollars into his pocket. He had never had so much money before.

Gu Wenxuan asked, "Xiangzi, I have known you for such a long time, but I still don't know your name. People call you Xiangzi, and I only know you as Xiangzi."

“My name is Li Jixiang. My family all hope that I will be safe and auspicious, but this is just a beautiful hope. I have never been auspicious since I was born!

When I was less than 10 years old, my parents died and I became a beggar. When I was 15, I was drafted into the Northeast Army as a soldier!

Within a few years, the Northeast Army lured the Japanese into the pass without firing a single shot!

Later, my superior officer withheld my military pay, and I was so angry that I hacked him half to death in the middle of the night. Then I escaped and went to Beijing to pull a rickshaw. "

It seemed that Xiangzi regarded Gu Wenxuan as his true friend and told him about his being a deserter. Although the Northeast Army no longer existed and Peking was now a Japanese war zone, it was his secret after all and he would not tell it to ordinary people!

"Oh, your name is Li Jixiang, are you interested in working with me in the future? If I am still working in the detective team, you can be my guard in the detective team. If I am doing business, you can be my driver. I promise that you will not suffer any loss!"

Li Jixiang said with some embarrassment: "It's no problem for me to be your driver, but if you ask me to work in the detective team, I feel a little embarrassed. I don't want to be a second-rate dog of the Japanese!"

Gu Wenxuan glared and said, "Do you think I want to be one? Isn't it for the sake of living? And if we don't become one, and someone worse than us becomes one, wouldn't that be worse for us Chinese people?

We may be able to use this power to solve some problems of ordinary people who are relatively kind-hearted. Do you think this makes sense?

Of course, I don’t really want to be the captain of this detective team. I’ll see later. If I can resign, I’ll resign as captain. It’s not impossible for us to do business together or do other things!”

Xiangzi thought for a long time before answering: "Okay, I'll follow you, but Mr. Gu, I think you seem to be very different these days!"

Gu Wenxuan complained in his heart, of course it’s different, the person is not the same person, it’s just that this stinking skin is still the same stinking skin, my soul is very pure.

Gu Wenxuan asked Xiangzi to take him back to his home so that he could learn the way there.

Although Xiangzi had known Gu Wenxuan for a long time, he really didn't know where he lived. When they arrived at his doorstep, he got off the rickshaw and asked Xiangzi to follow him in.

Of course, Ikeda Sachiko, as usual, lowered her head and led her husband in. Gu Wenxuan turned to Xiangzi and said, "Xiangzi, why don't you just live here with me? I won't charge you rent. You can live in the gatehouse. What do you think?"

Xiangzi looked at the concierge's room and found it was not small. Besides, he could just lie down in it.

"That's fine. I'll move in in a few days. My rent hasn't come due yet, so I'll move in when it's due!"

Gu Wenxuan nodded, and Xiangzi turned and left his yard. Although Xiangzi's impression of Gu Wenxuan had changed, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw Japanese women.

Ikeda Sachiko said to Gu Wenxuan: "My husband, you scared me to death today. I saw you on the third floor. I heard that those bandits were habitual criminals from outside and had guns.

Why don't we just quit this job and stop being the captain of the detective team? We can start a small business. I know a lot of handicrafts, so we should have no problem supporting our family!"

Gu Wenxuan touched Sachiko's hair. It was really hard to hate this little girl. She always thought about him and managed the household affairs in an orderly manner.

"Sachiko, I want to resign from this position, but they don't want me to. I have no choice but to wait for a while.

I want to be passive, take more leave and work less, so that they will be disgusted with me and then quit. I think it will be easier! "

Ikeda Sachiko nodded: "My husband, this is a good idea!"

Gu Wenxuan took out a handful of silver dollars and some U.S. dollars and pounds from his pocket and stuffed them into Sachiko's pocket. Sachiko Ikeda asked her husband in surprise, "You just gave me 100 yen yesterday, how come you have so much money now?"

Gu Wenxuan laughed and said, "These were all dug out from the hands of those bandits. I took them from them. If I didn't take them from them, I would have to hand them over later!

Even if we hand it in, we won’t get it. It will be taken away by those high-level corrupt officials. It’s better for them to use it than for us, right?”

Ikeda Sachiko looked at her husband shyly like a little white rabbit: "Husband, you are so bad, but now we have the money to pay back Yamamoto Ichiro!"

"That's right. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Why don't you go and pay back Yamamoto-kun's money after get off work? The military police would be very cautious when they walked in. It would be better if you were Japanese!

Ikeda nodded after hearing this.

The Japanese gendarmerie will suspect every Chinese person of being an anti-Japanese activist!

"Okay then, I'll find time tomorrow to return the 200 yen to Yamamoto-kun!"

In the next few days, Hu Wenxuan asked Xiangzi to take him around the streets and alleys. He wanted to get familiar with the city of Peking. He also asked Xiangzi to take him to their family's business shop in Liulichang to observe secretly.

As expected, their business is very big. There are about 6 large shops in a row, all selling Huzhou ink, Huzhou pens, rice paper, and various famous inkstones.

Anyway, this is the stationery used by scholars and their family runs it.

Gu Wenxuan, who came after him, certainly knew that these stationery items had huge profits, and the literati who used them certainly would not haggle over every penny. They would only choose the best and not buy cheap goods.

Gu Wenxuan was still there snooping stealthily.

Unexpectedly, he was seen by his mother Jiang.

Jiang Xueling is Gu Wenxuan's mother. She is the boss and is very decisive in everything she does.

Gu Wenbai's father, Gu Hengzhi is still a scholar to be frank, and he is not very good at running a business.

Normally, he would chat about poetry with good friends and have a drink from time to time. Most of the business was left to his wife, Jiang Xueling.

So today, when Jiang Xueling was in her shop and accidentally looked across the street, she saw her son covering his head and peeping into her shop with a rickshaw driver!

Jiang Xueling cursed angrily, "You little bastard, you're still acting like a sly person even in your own home. I'll pull your ears off!"

Jiang Xueling came out of her shop with her little girl Xiao Man in high spirits, walked across the street, and grabbed Gu Wenxuan's ear: "You bastard, you still remember to come back to see your mother. Why don't you go in? What are you doing here? Xiao Man, give him a whip!"

Xiaoman happily agreed and quickly ran back to their shop to get the whip.

Gu Wenxuan begged for mercy quickly: "Mom! Mom, don't be like this, there are so many people watching us, can't I just go back with you?
