Crow of the Pretender

In 1939, February 2, New Year's Eve.

In the photo studio, Bo Ning met with the members of the Scorpion team.

"Brother, are you okay? We couldn't get in touch with you before, and later we were asked by the poisonous snake to keep the whole group silent. We have been worried about what happened to you." Mingtai said eagerly.

Bo Ning smiled: "It's okay, it's just a mission, a little accident, it has been resolved."

"That's good..." Mingtai knew that Bo Ning couldn't talk to them about some situations, so he was relieved to see that Bo Ning was fine.Then he remembered his mission again, drooping his eyes and said, "By the way, brother, our mission..."

"I know everything, something went wrong, right?" Bo Ning said calmly, "Next time, remember better, and don't bring items with obvious personal tendencies when you go out on missions."

"Yes..." Mingtai was a little frustrated, since Liu Yang's mission started, there would always be "accidents" in his follow-up missions.And these "accidents" can kill him, or even the entire group, if he is not careful.

"By the way, brother. This time I had an accident on a mission. We already had remedial measures. But someone took a step ahead of us. I suspect... it should be a poisonous snake.

However, even I found out that my cufflinks were left on the spot after I went back. Our response was already very fast.But when we went to the suit shop to modify the roster, we found that the roster had already been changed. "

Yu Manli continued: "According to this speed, unless Mingtai left, that person or a poisonous snake was already there, recognized that cufflink as Mingtai's, and then changed the roster overnight."

"So, what do you want to say?"

"I want to say that I suspect that the real identity of the poisonous snake should be working in the puppet government or the special high school, and his position is definitely not low." Mingtai said.

The more Guo Qiyun listened to it, the more he felt that what Mingtai said was wrong. Isn't this guessing the identity of the online person?

This is inappropriate, I can't listen to this, can I?He glanced at Bo Ning, Bo Ning's face was full of meaning, Guo Qiyun knew something was wrong, and wanted to stop Mingtai from continuing.

However, Bo Ning took a step ahead of him, raised his eyebrows and asked Mingtai: "Oh? Why?"

"My suit is a high-end suit. Needless to say, the price is mainly because of the brand. Few people can tell it at a glance. Therefore, the identity of the poisonous snake must be someone with a certain status who can get in touch with these."

Mingtai analyzed enthusiastically, and looked at Bo Ning proudly after speaking, "Brother, am I right?"

Bo Ning, however, had a half-smile, casually glanced at Guo Qiyun, and Guo Qiyun was shocked.

"Mingtai, have you forgotten... the rules and regulations of the military command?" Bai Ning bit the word "rules" seriously, and his tone was cold.

Mingtai was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted.According to the unwritten regulations of the military command, it is not allowed to speculate and investigate the identity of the superior at will.

"It's fine for you to guess at will, and discuss it with other people. Are you afraid that your superiors will not be exposed quickly enough?"

"Manli and Adjutant Guo are my comrades-in-arms, and you are no one else, senior brother. I'm just talking to my own people." Mingtai retorted in a low voice.

Bo Ning said coldly: "One of our own? Regardless of whether it is a poisonous snake or not, the clues you mentioned are enough for the enemy to find out this hidden comrade-in-arms. How can you guarantee that we will not rebel in the future? After the rebellion, these clues will Will it fall into the hands of the enemy?"

"Brother! We..." Yu Manli seldom called Senior Brother Bo Ning, this time she was obviously anxious, but Bo Ning raised his hand to interrupt her, "Man Li, I know what you want to say. I have no doubts Everyone's loyalty is just that no one can 100% guarantee that they can survive the enemy's torture, even me. So... you must not take chances!"

Mingtai was stunned, and a little ashamed. He remembered these things and the instructors often reminded them repeatedly in the special training class.

"Senior brother, I know I was wrong." Mingtai admitted his mistake listlessly.

Bo Ning sighed, he didn't want Mingtai to admit any mistakes, but wanted him to grow up as soon as possible, even if some seedlings were spoiled, but he didn't have much time.

"Okay, today is New Year's Eve. Let's all go back and have a good New Year." Bo Ning said as he straightened his clothes and got up, "I'm leaving first."

Seeing this, Yu Manli poked Mingtai lightly with her arm, and Mingtai hurriedly said: "Senior brother! After twelve o'clock tonight, we plan to spend New Year's Eve together and eat pot, right here. Senior brother, shall we come together? "

Bo Ning was stunned, and changed his words when he wanted to refuse: "Okay. Then...do you want me to bring something?"

"No, we've got everything ready, brother, just bring your mouth!" Yu Manli was very happy that Bo Ning promised to come over at night.

Bo Ning laughed: "Okay, then I will bring my mouth."

After Bo Ning left, Mingtai and Yu Manli naturally left too.

The two walked on the street, neither of them spoke in silence.At this time, a little girl came running, about seven or eight years old, very cute.She is holding a large bunch of red plums.

"Sir, miss, buy a bunch of flowers!"

Mingtai picked up a plum blossom and looked at Yu Manli: "Do you like it?"

Yu Manli looked at the plum blossom, with its bright red petals and tender yellow stamens, she could probably imagine how frosty and proud the plum blossom was in the cold wind.

Plum blossoms have had a rebellious temperament since ancient times, which Yu Manli admired, she nodded slightly.

Mingtai was overjoyed, so he asked: "Little sister, how much do you want for a bunch?"

"Sir, six yuan and sixty cents. It's big for Chinese New Year. You want to be auspicious. I wish you good luck next year." The little girl said very seriously, without any flattery.

Mingtai thought to himself mockingly, Liuliu Dashun?hope so!

Yu Manli pursed her lips and smiled naturally, happily and sweetly.Her unguarded and elegant smile is like a transparent mirror, shining directly into Mingtai's soft heart.

It is rare for Mingtai to see such a pure smile from Manli, but this sudden one made his heart beat a little faster.

"Okay, six yuan and sixty cents." Mingtai took out French currency, gave it to the little girl, and said, "Happy Chinese New Year, it's your lucky money."

The little girl took the money, bowed to them happily, and said, "Thank you sir, thank you miss. I wish you all love and love, and give birth to a precious child soon."

"Go!" Mingtai's face flushed, and he gave a light drink.

The little girl ran away.

"The kids nowadays really know how to do business." Mingtai scratched his head and said.

"I like this child quite a lot, unlike us who have been hiding it all the time." Yu Manli said softly, and this sentence made the hearts of both of them fall silent.

The winter sun shone down, and it was hazy, making Mingtai feel as if he and she were in a state of entanglement.It is easily accessible, but does not know the direction.

"It's getting late." Yu Manli stopped and said, "Go back quickly and watch the new year with your family."

Mingtai looked at her, and Yu Manli stood there, graceful and elegant, with bluestone roads and alleys in the background, and the winter sky, like an ink painting.Her expression seemed a bit sad and free and easy, Mingtai was fascinated by it.

He walked a few steps and said to Manli, "Let me call a car for you."

Yu Manli nodded.

Mingtai beckoned to hire a foreign car for her, Yu Manli boarded the car, and said, "See you tonight."

"See you tonight..." Mingtai was very calm on the surface.

Probably because of the recent frequent assassinations, the puppet government did not hold any big annual meeting on New Year's Eve, but only invited some officials to a small gathering from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and the Japanese did not show up.Therefore, Minglou and Mingcheng were able to return home early.

Ming Mansion has not been so lively for a long time. Ming Jing is standing under the street lamp in front of the mansion. On the lawn in front of the mansion, Ming Tai and Ah Cheng are setting off fireworks, one after another, while Ming Lou is standing not far away. Start pointing at them.

The three brothers all wore brand-new Chinese-style padded gowns with stand-up collars and long sleeves, and they could be seen to be carefully prepared.

Suddenly, a large bunch of fireworks flew into the sky and bloomed in front of Ming Jing's eyes. It was gorgeous and colorful, illuminating the sky above Ming Mansion.

There was a tinge of warmth in Ming Jing's heart, family is family.

At this time, Minglou looked back at Mingjing, walked over with a smile, rolled up his sleeves, and half-bowed towards Mingjing as if joking, and said loudly, "Elder Sister, Happy Chinese New Year!"

Mingcheng and Mingtai also turned around when they heard the sound, and wished Mingjing a New Year: "Big Sister, Happy New Year!"

Ming Jing laughed.

"Red envelope..." Ming Lou stretched out his hand to Ming Jing.

Ming Jing knocked Ming Lou's hand off, and said angrily, "Are you a nobleman this year? A red envelope?"

Minglou smiled and said: "Since ancient times, the elder sister has been the mother, and the older sister is the elder of the Ming family. When I am in front of my elder sister, I am still a child no matter how old I am. Naturally, I will ask for rewards."

"When did you learn to be so smart and cute?"

"When asking for money." Minglou said.

Mingcheng snickered, and Mingtai dismantled the stage: "Eldest sister, look, elder brother still wants a red envelope at this age, then you have to give it to me, eldest sister."

"You guys!" Ming Jing smiled and nodded at the three of them.

A piece of fireworks was brilliant, and the sound of firecrackers ripped through the night sky like thunder.In the distance, large clocks hanging high above the Stock Exchange and the Bank of Shanghai rang the New Year's bell.

Under the sound of the fireworks, the Bai Mansion seemed very quiet, and Bo Ning stood alone on the small terrace looking up at the fireworks in the sky.

Another year passed, and the Japanese still hadn't been driven away, and it was still bloody.

In fact, Bo Ning doesn't like New Year's Eve, it will make him really feel lonely, as if the whole world is telling him that you are alone.

Without a home, what year do you live?It's just asking for fun.

Bo Ning looked at his watch, it was past twelve o'clock, and the time agreed with Mingtai and the others was approaching.

In fact, Bo Ning didn't think why he agreed at that time, maybe...he was indeed alone for too long.

The author has something to say:

Once New Year's Eve is over, it is the middle of the dead time plan.
