Old Movies of the Republic of China(90)

"It's me, don't worry, I will find a chance to meet you again." Lin Yutong's whispered instructions were still in his ears, but the person had already disappeared. Yu Xiaoman remained calm on his face and continued walking along the street, but

But she felt at peace in her heart. It seemed that she already knew her situation. Not to mention, if she hadn't been the one here this time, she might not have believed it so easily.

When Lin Yutong saw Yu Xiaoman, he quickly turned to an alley to the side. Although Yan'an City was not full of empty houses, there were still quite a few vacant houses. Many people helped the headquarters transport things and moved along with them.

So, she didn’t stay in an inn, but she didn’t have a place to stay. She found an inconspicuous courtyard, picked the door lock, and went straight in. There was nothing in the cave dwelling, but the kang, tables and chairs were still there. She

There was no way to light a lamp, so it would be less likely to alert others in the dark. She would definitely not be able to sleep at night. At least she needed to find out if anyone was patrolling the area, how many people were patrolling, and how often they were there. She waited while waiting

, while thinking about what to do next.

In fact, if you only need to send and receive information, then this matter is quite simple. It doesn't require much effort at all. It sounds dangerous, but it really isn't. But in addition to official business, I also have private matters. I have to find a way to bring him this time no matter what.

Yu Xiaoman wants to evacuate. The first is that her current situation is dangerous. After Yan An recovers, her situation will only become more dangerous. The second is that if she doesn't evacuate now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to find a suitable opportunity to evacuate.

. Third, after this battle, her role will basically cease to exist, and it makes little sense to stay.

Thinking about it this way, I felt more and more that whether it was for public or private reasons, I had to arrange for Yu Xiaoman to escape smoothly this time.

She didn't rush to contact the people lurking in Yan'an City, it wasn't the right time yet.

For two consecutive nights, she listened to the noise outside and calculated the patrol arrangements in the city. On the third night, when it got dark, she became energetic. She ate something and changed into gray.

Wearing a black-patched cotton coat and a big dog-skin hat, he sprinkled some wine on his body, yelled, gargled his mouth and spat it out. He felt that it was indeed the smell of alcohol, so he shrank his shoulders.

He went out from the house. It was indeed strange for a woman to go out at night, but there was nothing unusual about this drunkard.

She deliberately avoided the patrolmen, saw people from a distance, and walked staggering along the wall. It looked like no one came to inquire. She turned left and right along the alley, at least in Ancheng she should be better than

Most of the police stationed here are much more familiar. Yu Xiaoman didn't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, the residential yard she chose was exactly what Fourth Master and Lin Yutong were assigned when they first arrived in Yan'an. Later, they all moved outside the city.

The houses in this city are just idle. Yu Xiaoman has temporarily settled here.

Lin Yutong looked at it from a distance. There were two people standing guard at the door. There were at least one class of people patrolling back and forth in the entire alley. It was really difficult to get close.

What on earth caused the other party to be alert?

What happened to the liaison officer who contacted Yu Xiaoman? This is what she wants to know. In fact, the above has also lost information about that liaison officer. If the liaison officer is really exposed and falls into the hands of the other party,

In his hands, Yu Xiaoman can only be in more danger than expected now.

She huddled in the corner, pretending to be vomiting, and scolded the patrolman from a distance: "Where is the drunkard from? Go, go! You dare to come here."

Tonight's test doesn't seem to work.

Lin Yutong wandered around in confusion for several times. This time he turned into a dead end, and then turned back again, as if he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. This appearance made the patrolman burst into laughter. Only then did Lin Yutong

He jumped down an alley again and staggered away.

Yu Xiaoman was listening to the noise outside in the yard, opened the door and asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

The guard immediately laughed and said, "I met a drunkard and I've already dismissed him."

Yu Xiaoman squinted her eyes and glanced in the direction they were pointing. It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. Occasionally, the flashlights in the hands of the patrollers would light up and scan back and forth. There was no one there anymore. She looked away and said, "

Please be more alert. We have only been here for a few days. The Labor Party has been here for more than ten years, and its foundation is much more stable than ours. The people's hearts are closer to theirs than ours. Don't treat drunkards as inappropriate.

Something happened."

Without waiting for the other party to answer, she slammed the door shut.

Guan San came out of the darkness and walked to the door, "What did you just say?"

The two men on guard learned the lesson exactly, "Section Chief Guan and Director Yu don't look like ordinary workers at all."

Guan San laughed sarcastically and said, "How can I survive until now if you guys have figured it out? You've already shown me how to do it. Write down who you came into contact with."

Yu Xiaoman leaned against the door and heard clearly what was said outside the door. Guan San must have said this to himself on purpose.

After taking a rough look at Yu Xiaoman's situation, Lin Yutong knew that the method she thought of was definitely not feasible. She had to find another way.

Three days later, on the street where Yu Xiaoman lived, a mutton restaurant quietly changed its owner. Lin Yutong bought the shop with a gold bar. The landlord seemed to be afraid that Lin Yutong would regret it, so he took the whole family to the restaurant the next day.

She left the city to visit her hometown in the countryside. She was now dark and thin, and it was winter. She was well-dressed and dressed up as a not-too-tall man. Even the shopkeeper did not suspect her.

Early on the fourth morning, when Yu Xiaoman came up, he smelled the fragrance coming from far away, and his stomach couldn't help but growl. There were many people like Yu Xiaoman, especially after they had stood on duty all night.

, no one who has been patrolling all night will not be greedy just thinking about the hot mutton soup.

"Damn, why does it smell so good?" Some people put their guns on their backs. They originally planned to go back to the camp, but now they stopped and looked towards the entrance of the alley.

"Let's go! Let's have a meal." Someone on the other side responded immediately.

"What can you eat? Do you have money?" Someone next to me sniffed and choked.

"Money? I have it!" The man grabbed a handful of French currency, "Isn't this money?"

Some people think that this person is really nothing, "This money is enough for him."

"Why is this nonsense? Ten years ago, this money could buy two cows." This person said nonsense.

This statement made people laugh involuntarily, "Ten years ago I could buy two cows, but now I can only buy one sesame seed cake."

That's right, it's just a bite of sesame cake. Even if you say you have a bite of sesame cake, you are taking advantage of it. In fact, the money can only buy one-fiftieth of the sesame cake. For these old men, a bite is not small. After all, it is said that it is a bite.

Shaobing is really a big bargain.

Regardless of their conscience, these guys went to the mutton shop noisily. When they arrived, the shop was already full of people, most of whom were soldiers. The people nearby saw the soldiers inside, and they were

Those who didn't dare to go in just took out their own pots and bowls, filled them up and took them back to drink.

"Where's Shopkeeper Zhang? Why has he been replaced?" someone familiar with the situation couldn't help but ask.

"My cousin has something to do when he returns to his hometown and asked me to take care of him here for a few days." Lin Yutong responded naively.

"Your craftsmanship is much better than your cousin's." Someone joked, "Look at this business, it's much more prosperous than when your cousin was here." After speaking, he pointed to the soldiers, "These people are very busy.

, I guess it’s still more if I don’t pay. Don’t be honest and give me meat, just give me some bone soup.”

Lin Yutong responded, but his hands were not idle. He scooped out the soup and sprinkled it with coriander and garlic sprouts. "Do you want pepper?"

"I want it! One bowl of this stuff will make you sweat all over and keep you away from the cold."

Lin Yutong grabbed the pepper bottle from the top and sprinkled it into it, then handed the small pot to the fellow villager.

"Hey! The shopkeeper, why didn't you add pepper for us?" Someone in the store started shouting after they had finished drinking.

Lin Yutong smiled and added pepper. Like the pepper, there was also something hidden in his fingernails. He thought it would be effective in less than two days.

She smiled kindly, and did not dare to ask for credit too much, but she recognized the people guarding outside Yu Xiaoman's yard one by one.

When Yu Xiaoman came out, she stopped in front of the store and immediately saw Lin Yutong, who was doing a prosperous business. She walked around and waited until there were not many people in the store before coming in and said, "Boss, please have a bowl of mutton."

Soup."

"Want pepper?" Lin Yutong asked calmly.

"Yes. Add less, put more coriander, not garlic sprouts." Yu Xiaoman looked at the tables, chairs and benches in the store with a look of disgust, "Are there any sesame cakes?"

"I'm sorry, the shop is short of manpower. We only have mutton soup and no sesame cakes. If you feel you are not full, I will pay you first and then I will cut the meat for you." Lin Yutong scooped up the soup and waited for Yu Xiaoman to speak.

He added, "I only found the ocean."

The other diners all started laughing, "This shopkeeper is quite shrewd. No wonder so many people give credit, and you give it to me. This soup is just a matter of adding a bowl of water. As long as it becomes popular, you still have to worry about whether the meat can be sold."

You have to pay a lot of money in cash before you can cut the meat. The buyer is really not as good as the seller."

Another person also made a fuss, "I'm just saying, if you open this store smoothly, you won't make any money! It turns out that the profit is here."

Lin Yutong wiped his hands on the dirty apron and smiled sheepishly.

Yu Xiaoman didn't know Lin Yutong's plan and had to continue the show outside, so he directly handed over a piece of ocean and said, "Let's use this to cut the meat."

As a result, Lin Yutong cut half of the plate of meat and put it directly in the soup.

Someone yelled, "Young shopkeeper, you are not being honest. Just a small amount of meat for a big ocean? Let me see, if you meet someone who buys meat this day, you won't even lose money on your business."

Lin Yutong complained, "It's hard to do business, it's hard to buy raw materials, and it's even harder to get ingredients. This price is very fair."

Yu Xiaoman ate a bowl of mutton soup and half a bowl of mutton. Not to mention, she had never tasted such delicious food. No wonder it attracted people. After everyone in the store left,

It was almost done. Lin Yutong went to collect the bowls and wiped the table with a rag. Only then did he have the opportunity to whisper to Xiaoman: "Get ready and prepare to evacuate."

As long as people evacuate safely, the news will naturally get out.

Yu Xiaoman was startled, and the hand holding the soup bowl trembled, and he almost threw the bowl away. It took him a long time to find his voice, "Guan San, watch closely."

"Stay peacefully, don't do anything, I'll take care of it." Lin Yutong finished speaking with his back turned. Seeing that the two guests at the end were about to leave, he hurriedly smiled and sent them out.

Yu Xiaoman didn't know what Lin Yutong planned, but he didn't ask. First, the place was wrong, and second, he still had the most basic trust in Lin Yutong. Of course, this trust included ability.

At night, the store door was half closed. But there was still light coming out from inside. The fragrance in the store continued to leak out, and the man standing guard at Yu Xiaoman's door couldn't help but sniff again, "Mom, I slept all day during the day, and at night

Why am I still so sleepy?" He yawned, "Why is this scent so alluring?"

"I feel itchy in my heart." Another person said, "I haven't eaten anything good in the past two years, and this bowl of broth has seduced me like this."

"No matter how greedy you are, you can bear it. I'm on duty." The patrolman scolded him as he passed by, and then cursed, "This shabby shop should be smashed. What kind of soup are you making in the middle of the night?"

"You don't understand. Isn't this good soup just made by boiling it? If I don't boil it at night, what will I eat tomorrow?" As he spoke, he only felt more hungry.

No one came on the first night, and still no one came on the second night. On the third night, someone finally couldn't help but started banging on the door in the middle of the night, "Open the door! Open the door! Ladle out a bowl of soup."
