Stage [Republic of China]

The shopkeeper and the guys from the tea shop joined hands to form a human wall, Xu Jishan sat in the town in person, and set up a grand master's chair to sit at the door of the shop and shouted.

"Don't rush, don't rush, take your time! Everyone has it."

He speaks Nanyang Mandarin, wears a smoke gray woolen suit, and sits at the door of the store.At first glance, he is a classy person.

Many of these poor people were frightened, and gradually the looting stopped.

Today, when serving porridge, Xu Jishan stopped the business of two tea shops and a grocery store in Jingxi Mansion, and gathered a lot of manpower just to lure that little beggar over.But this day was noisy, and the crowd was in a mess, and in the end, only the back of the head was dark and dark.Shopkeeper Lu had a heavy responsibility, and tried his best to find out the little beggar who came to deliver the burden that day, but in the end he could only vaguely recognize him.

"Hey, boss, boss? It seems to be that."

It was around dusk, and finally five or six little beggars came over with disheveled hair and dirty faces, carrying broken bowls.Shopkeeper Lu rubbed his eyes, pointed at one of the beggars and said to Xu Jishan, "That's right, it's him."

Xu Jishan waited for this day, and finally waited for the right lord, she immediately lifted her spirits and stood up.

When shopkeeper Lu and A Niu brought the little beggar in, Xu Jishan sat in front of the square table with a smile, crossed her legs, and asked the little beggar. "Have you ever eaten the porridge outside?"

"Not full." The little beggar replied confidently, with a loud voice. "Just a little rice is not enough for my own meal."

Xu Jishan nodded with a smile, and said, "I have roast chicken and braised pork here. As long as you tell me something, these dishes are enough."

The little beggar immediately shrank back vigilantly. "Let's say it first, we don't dare to do things that break the law! Go in, and you will be spanked with a baton, and the beating is painful."

Xu Jishan smiled slightly, raised her hand, and poured a cup of hot water for the little beggar herself. "I just want to ask you something, don't be nervous."

"What's the matter?" The little beggar didn't pick up the tea, didn't move his chopsticks, looked at Xu Jishan, and said "You villain, don't lie to me" all over his face.

Xu Jishan couldn't help laughing, and waved her hands, so she had no choice but to call the shopkeeper Lu who was always most used to rolling around in the world to accompany her.

Shopkeeper Lu lifted the corner of his robe and trotted over.This day, the rice shop didn't have to do any business, but shopkeeper Lu was extremely busy.After all, he was a man approaching the age of 50, and he was a little bit overwhelmed at the moment. Seeing four dishes of hot dishes and a pot of strong tea on the table, he immediately looked sad and complained.

Xu Jishan clearly saw the truth, but she didn't tell the truth, she just told shopkeeper Lu to sit down.Raising his hand, he poured another cup of tea for Shopkeeper Lu himself.Shopkeeper Lu's face turned pale after the rain.

"Come on, tell this little brother about the delivery of furoshiki that day."

Shopkeeper Lu took a sip of tea first, and then slowly said to the little beggar: "That day, you came to the shop to look for me, right?"

Unexpectedly, the little beggar stabbed his neck. "What letter to send? I don't know. I have no money with me, and I never come to your house to buy rice."

The faster you deny it, the more you prove that you have a ghost in your heart.

Xu Jishan crossed her legs, leaned back in the chair, and smiled more peacefully.

next?Naturally, Xu Jishan didn't have to take part in this kind of job of dealing with beggars.In fact, he was sitting there, wearing a woolen suit, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and a square handkerchief folded into a triangular point in the left pocket of the suit. The little beggar looked at him with trepidation, She didn't even dare to look at him.

But after explaining a few things about the scene, Xu Jishan motioned to shopkeeper Lu with his eyes, and stood up with an excuse. "In short, whether you say it or not, I will treat you to this meal."

After hearing this, the little beggar looked at Xu Jishan in disbelief.With just one glance, he quickly lowered his head again.

Xu Jishan put her hands on the table and smiled softly. "It's just that it was a good friend of mine who asked you to bring me the burden that day. I haven't been able to find him for many days. Now that he has arrived in Jingxi Mansion, I really want to treat him to a meal of roast chicken."

As Xu Jishan said, she was satisfied to see the little beggar's body shaking, and a struggling expression seemed to appear on his half-raised face.

Shopkeeper Lu immediately accepted the words knowingly. "Yes! Our master has been looking for that person for a long time. Now that the army is in turmoil, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. If he really fled to Jingxi Mansion, it would be a great thing for our master to meet him! "

Gudoo!The little beggar swallowed loudly, obviously the aroma of the roast chicken on the table was too tempting.

After a few seconds, the little beggar finally gave up struggling, and said in a murmur, "It's not too far away. But, you don't want to catch him with excuses, do you?"

Xu Jishan paused as she raised her foot to leave, thrust her right hand obliquely... into her trouser pocket, and turned her head.

In front of the square table, seeing Xu Jishan walk away, the little beggar gained more confidence and was questioning shopkeeper Lu. "If he is really a good friend with your boss, why would he rather work as a waiter in the shop, sweating profusely every day, instead of coming to join your boss?"

This sentence almost gave [-]% to [-]% of Shui Jiu's details.

Xu Jishan frowned.Work as a clerk in a shop?Could it be that that person actually works as a clerk in a shop during the day and comes out to solicit customers in a cheongsam at night?

Just thinking about it, Xu Jishan suddenly felt sour, full of displeasure.

It's not that he dislikes Shui Jiu's identity.Singing in an opera is hard work, and being a shop assistant is also hard work.That person was raised in bitter water, forced to make ends meet, and had just escaped from a den of thieves, so it is possible that he had to take on these pickling jobs for a while.In the hazy night, Shui Jiu's figure wearing a floral cheongsam walking in the dark night floated past his eyes.

At the end of October, the man was only wearing a floral cheongsam with half sleeves.I'm afraid it was replaced from a pawn shop?

If it is really forced to make a living and has to do these soliciting business, or even buying and selling news for someone, Xu Jishan would rather that person come to him!Xu Jishan would be happy even if that person was raised in such a delicate and precious way.

As a result, he couldn't move his feet any longer, and he heard shopkeeper Lu and the little beggar repeating clichés.

After a while, Xu Jishan took out his pocket watch from his trouser pocket and looked at it. Only 10 or [-] minutes had passed, and the little beggar explained everything by pouring out the beans from the bamboo tube.The little beggar thought he had spoken clearly, he didn't take it for nothing, he didn't eat the meal for nothing, and he was tearing and roasting the chicken with both hands.Shopkeeper Lu was at the side, but he moved his chopsticks a little, picked up some scrambled eggs with fresh fungus, then put down the chopsticks, sipping tea lightly.

Seeing that Xu Jishan hadn't left, shopkeeper Lu looked up, and happened to meet Xu Jishan's gaze in mid-air.Xu Jishan nodded calmly, and shopkeeper Lu felt relieved, knowing that the job was done.

The little beggar explained Shui Jiu's address and business in Jingxi Mansion very clearly. Xu Jishan knew that the man was in the water store next door to him, so she couldn't stand it for a minute and went out of Longyu Rice Store.He didn't let anyone accompany him, and strode quickly to the water shop next door.

It was around eight o'clock, and it was a little windy outside.The door to the waterfront next door has already been bolted.

Xu Jishan raised her hand and tapped on the door panel.Papapapa, after about three to five minutes of filming, the man's clear voice finally sounded in the store.

-"No more business. If you have something to do, please come early tomorrow morning."

It was this voice that had passed him by in a rickshaw in Jibei City back then, and had taken his soul away as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xu Jishan put his hand back into the pocket of his suit trousers, and said in a deep voice, "Boss Shui, it's me."

Suddenly there was no movement in the store.After a few seconds, there was a sudden jingling, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bangThe thin rope was swinging and swinging, and the man who was swinging was in a dilemma.

Xu Jishan grinned outside.He took out his pocket watch and tapped on the door every minute or two.After about ten minutes, he just squeezed the pocket watch in his hand, when he heard a creak, the door to the backyard opened in his ear.

Um?not good!Is that man trying to escape?

Xu Jishan turned her head to block people in the backyard when suddenly she was also tearing down the door panel.Xu Jishan hesitated, and then stood still. As a result, the water door was removed, but a short and fat man greeted him.

The short fat man smiled and rubbed his hands, and greeted him, "What wind brought you here, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Jishan didn't stay long in Jingxi Mansion, the reason why she ran to Longyumi every day these days was mainly to block Shui Jiu.He didn't recognize the short fat man who opened the door, so he hesitated for a moment. "you are?"

"Ah, this shop is mine." Humpty Humpty said and laughed. "Who does Mr. Xu want to see?"

"I'm looking for the guy in your shop," Xu Jishan said, looking around the shop quickly.

The facade of Shuixing is small, less than 1/5 of the size of Longyu Mixing next door, and you can see through it at a glance.In addition to the tall counters and umbrellas, there are also large strings of water signs scattered on the ground.

Xu Jishan couldn't find a place to hide.But according to the little beggar, Shui Jiu originally lived in the utility room of the shop, probably in the small attic above the wooden stairs.

Xu Jishan raised her foot and wanted to go inside. "I am ashamed to say that this old man was an old acquaintance with me, but he has not had time to join me after he came to Jingxi Mansion. I just found out that he is staying in your bank, so I came to look for him overnight."

Xu Jishan lifted his foot to walk in, and the boss of Shuixing laughed and let him in, saying: "It's really a coincidence, it was Ah Jiu who woke up first and called me, but just now Ah Jiu... ..."

"Ajiu?" Xu Jishan paused, feeling that the short and fat man Shui Xing was shouting so damn intimately!let
