Chapter 9 Great Secret Service

In Shen Xiuwen's memory, Chen Jingzong always appeared as a strict father. Facing Mr. Shen's questioning, Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but feel nervous. He walked to Mr. Shen with courage and said, "Yes, Dad. I went to the front line of the temple with my classmates this afternoon to comfort the National Army."

Mr. Shen suddenly stood up from the sofa, pointed at the blood on Chen Xiuwen's body, and asked tremblingly: "Did you encounter the Japanese today?"

Chen Xiuwen had no choice but to nod.

"You are too brave." Mr. Shen roared: "War is a matter of soldiers. Do you need to intervene with students? Even if you work hard on the army, there is no need to go to the front line. Isn't there a reception desk for the Fifth Army and the Nineteenth Route Army in the city now? Besides, this time our Shen family wants money and grain, so how can you get your turn to condolences?"

Faced with Mr. Shen's anger, Chen Xiuwen stood there with his head down without saying a word. Although Mr. Shen didn't agree with some of his words, he also knew that the war broke out. As the president of the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, the old man donated a lot of money and food. The old man was angry and was mainly worried about his comfort.

After Mr. Shen got angry, he looked at Chen Xiuwen for a long time and finally sighed: "Forget it, it's good that you can come back, it's good that you can come back. Anyway, your school has also been closed for these days. From tomorrow on, you can stay at home honestly and not take a step forward in the house."

Chen Xiuwen felt relieved and ran upstairs. Chen Xiuping hurriedly followed.

Seeing the old man gasping, Tang Wenbin carefully comforted him: "Dad, don't be angry, didn't Xiuwen come back properly? Besides, Xiuwen went to the flour mill in the afternoon to pick up two trucks of dry food, didn't you stop him?"

"Who knew he was going to the front line to express his condolences." The old man glared at his son-in-law with dissatisfaction.

Tang Wenbin nodded quickly and said yes.

The old man looked upstairs and sighed with lingering fear, saying, "I finally saved my life and came back. Otherwise, what kind of face will I have to see my wife in the future."

The old man did what he said, and the next day he was taking care of the servants and bodyguards at home, and ordered the second young master not to go out of the house. Chen Xiuwen took advantage of this period to adapt to life during the Republic of China. However, Chen Xiuwen was originally active, and although he lived at the bottom of his life in the later generations, he had at least the Internet and TV. Now he has nothing, either reading books in the room or going around in the garden. In less than ten days, Chen Xiuwen really couldn't stay at home. However, Chen Yi, the bodyguards at home, including Chen Yi, who was born and died together, was unwilling to let Chen Xiuwen go out.

There was no choice but to think about the elder sister who loved her since she was the one who loved her. The eldest lady of the Shen family was smart and capable. In the Shen family courtyard, except for the old man, she was the eldest lady.

"Sister, just let me go out once. I promise that the last incident would never happen. Sister, I will go to the Bund and the Chenghuang Temple area, just let me go." Chen Xiuwen took Chen Xiuping's hand and begged.

After getting along for the past few days, Chen Xiuwen personally realized that his sister was really good to him. He arranged everything he had to eat, drink, and use. Even his brother-in-law Tang Wenbin loved the house and was very nice to him. So, he secretly stuffed two small yellow croakers to himself two days ago, saying that he was giving him pocket money.

Chen Xiuping also knew that his baby brother was active by nature and had been locked up at home for more than a week, so it was really difficult for him. He couldn't resist Chen Xiuwen's begging and had to agree to him, but the premise was that he had to go home before dinner. Then, he personally asked Chen Yi and asked him for a while.

Chen Xiuping, who was finally able to go out, seemed very interested. The city of Shanghai was originally not unfamiliar with him. He spent four years of college life in Shanghai. When he stepped out of school, he wanted to be a new Shanghai person, but the cruel reality made him come to Shanghai in the 1930s by a stranger.

In later generations, he lived at the bottom of society, but now he is a veritable rich second generation. When he got on the bus, Chen Xiuping first asked Chen Yi to take him around the city.

It is said that Shanghai in the 1930s ranked the third largest city in the world after New York, London and Paris. Such a beautiful city, except for the relatively quiet rent, the rest of the places are ravaged by Japanese artillery fire. Chen Yijin followed the order of the young lady before leaving the house and just took a walk around the rent. Although the second young master Chen who was integrated into Chen Xiuping's mind was very familiar with Shanghai in this era, he was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes. Especially the Bund, at this time The Bund is different from later generations. In addition to the majestic buildings of the 1000 countries, it is also a dock with traffic and traffic. There is no trace of war here. The famous Bund Park in history, the sign at the entrance of the Bund Park, which records all the Chinese shame, which "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter" was taken off after the National Government took over Shanghai. However, the warships with the flags of the 100 countries in the Huangpu River, especially the Japanese warships with the menstrual flag, made Chen Xiuping feel particularly dazzling.

Sima Road in Shanghai, teahouses, theaters, hotels, and wine shops are all available on both sides of the road. Chen Xiuping, who was sitting in the car, saw signs gathering hotels in the east, west, south and north, and felt a little empty. He shouted Chen Yi and parked the car, found a Cantonese restaurant and walked in.

At noon, the Cantonese restaurant was already full of people. The young man carrying the dish was moving around in the hall, shouting for caution. Chen Xiuwen walked straight to the second floor. The second floor was a elegant seat. Chen Xiuwen specially found a seat next to the window, drinking tea while watching the sentient beings downstairs. Chen Yi shouted to the client to serve the dishes.

Suddenly, Chen Xiuwen was looking at the street scene and found someone quarreling loudly at the entrance of a hotel opposite the Cantonese Restaurant. A young man was pushed out of the hotel. The person in the hotel pointed at the young man and was scolding something loudly, while the young man seemed to be begging hard. Then a pile of luggage was thrown directly onto the street by the people in the hotel. Across the road, Chen Xiuwen couldn't hear what they were saying. However, looking at the situation, he knew that the people in the hotel were bombing people out.

I saw the young man standing there, shook his head, and began to sort out the recognized luggage. Chen Xiuwen saw that the young man had actually brought a lot of books in his luggage, which immediately attracted Chen Xiuwen's attention. After carefully looking at the young man, he was quite thin, and his age looked similar to his own. A long gown that looked a little ragged was quite neat.

Chen Xiuwen, who had lost his compassion in later generations, suddenly felt compassion for this young man. In this chaotic day, this young man might have fled, or he might have been unhappy with relatives. Since he had met him, if he could, please help.

Chen Xiuwen sighed softly, pointed to the young man across the street, and said to Chen Yi who was drinking in a cow: "Come here and give that young man a few dollars."

Chen Yi was stunned: "Second Young Master, do you know this person?"

"Where do you come from so much nonsense? If you ask you to send it, you can send it." Chen Xiuwen glared: "They may have encountered some difficulties. If we can, we can help him."

Chen Yi muttered and stood up. He didn't understand when he had been following the second young master who had been almost five years old and became so kind.

When Chen Yi rushed over, the young man packed his luggage and was about to leave. Chen Yi patted his shoulder and handed over a few pieces of ocean. The young man looked surprised and asked. Chen Yi said a few words to him, and then pointed to the window where Chen Xiuwen was sitting. Unexpectedly, the young man did not take over the ocean from Chen Yi's hand, but insisted on following Chen Yi to come here.

After a while, Chen Yi reluctantly took the young man into the box. "Second Young Master, I'll give him five dollars, but he insisted on accepting it and insisted on coming to see you."

I saw the young man following Shen Yi put his luggage at the door, stepped forward and bowed to Chen Xiuwen, and said aloud: "This gentleman is generous and helpful, and I am grateful to me. However, I am really a stranger to me and I am ashamed of it."

Chen Xiuwen was originally inspired by his later experiences and did it casually. Just now, because he was far away, he couldn't see what this young man looked like. At this time, he found that this man was very young and probably two years younger than him. However, he was very energetic, with bright eyes and shrewd. Faced with such a pie falling from the sky, he refused to accept it. While Chen Xiuwen was surprised, he also admired the actions of this young man. He smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite. I just happened to be the same. People, there were times when they were inconvenient. Maybe one day I would encounter difficulties and I would have to ask you for help. So, you can write me an IOU, and I will lend you ten dollars to the ocean. I will repay me if I have the chance in the future."

Generally speaking, people who have strong self-esteem use the word "borrow" is obviously much more suitable than giving. The young man was not pretentious and bowed to Chen Xiuwen again and said, "Thank you, sir, please ask me, where is the immortal residence? When I find my relatives, I will return it as the original number." As he said that, he picked up a pen and a notebook from the wicker box he brought with him, and wrote down Chen Xiuwen's name and home address. Then, he wrote down an IOU and held it with both hands and gave it to Chen Xiuwen.

Chen Xiuwen took the IOU with a smile and looked at it casually. His original intention was to help the young man, but it didn't matter if he didn't pay it back. However, when he saw the famous worker under the IOU neatly wrote the word "intoxicated", he was suddenly shocked and blurted out: "What, Chen·······"
