Since the Cheng family was leaving the capital, they were not only busy with a little things, they gave away their belongings, and there were many servants to consider. After Chacha'er left, Second Mistress suffered from a serious illness and just started to recover. At night, as the sun went down and there was a cool breeze in the garden, Cheng Fengtai ordered to turn on all the lights in the garden, took Second Grandma by his arm, and took the children to enjoy the cool in the garden. One look at the scenery in front of him and one less look, and Commander Cao still doesn't know what the ending will be. Leaving Commander Cao's protection, Cheng Fengtai can only rely on Britain and the United States, even if he returns to China in the future, he will not settle in Peiping. The family ate fruit soda ice cream and played popular records under the shining lights, but the gloomy atmosphere couldn't be concealed. The couple shared common worries. Chacha'er left, and there was another layer of taboo besides the pain. Cheng Fengtai forbids anyone to mention this younger sister again. Although the children were not very close to Chacha'er, suddenly there was no one in the family, and they were not allowed to mention it. The pressure in their hearts was also great, and they were so stuffy that they didn't like to make a sound.

Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Cheng Fengtai wanted to have fun, so he drank up the soda in one breath, and stretched out his hand to ask Meiyin to do a foxtrot. The two brothers and sisters are very different in height, Cheng Fengtai will hold Meiyin up and spin around in the air from time to time, Meiyin screams happily, and everyone laughs, only the fourth concubine is still out of her wits, her eyes are swollen, as if she has cried secretly, her eyes are faint and resentful Looking over from the lamp bushes, it landed on the daughter. After having had enough fun, Cheng Fengtai purposely went back to his room late, making excuses to stay in the garden to smoke, music and insects chirping, one far away and one near, it was extremely lonely.

Fourth Concubine squeezed her handkerchief tightly and walked behind him, calling timidly, "Second Master."

When the fourth concubine entered the door, Cheng Fengtai was still young, so he couldn't talk to his father's concubine room, and after getting married, in order to avoid suspicion, he didn't talk to each other. Although the two are relatives who have lived for more than ten years, they don't speak more than seven or eight sentences throughout the year. The fourth concubine needs to muster up her courage when she talks to Cheng Fengtai, let alone what she is going to talk about today is such a great thing.

The fourth concubine hadn't talked about it in detail, tears fell down first, Cheng Fengtai took off the cigarette butt and looked around vigilantly, fearing that the girl and the old mother would see it and tell the second grandma, it would be nothing wrong, the fourth concubine wiped tears at him in the middle of the night, making people What do you think? The fourth concubine only cried and said nothing, she didn't come to discuss the way with Cheng Fengtai, but rather she killed someone and surrendered herself. Cheng Fengtai waited for a long time in silence, looked at the clock, and when it was time to make an appointment with Shang Xirui, he couldn't help it, in Shanghai dialect: "My father passed away for many years, my aunt has raised Mei Yin by herself, she is worthy of him! "

The fourth aunt raised her tearful eyes, very surprised.

"If Auntie has another way to go and doesn't want to go back to Shanghai with us, I'll give Auntie 50,000 yuan to settle down with her. Just a little, Meiyin will follow me. She's a big girl, and it's uncomfortable and inconvenient to change to a new home. "Cheng Fengtai's eyes were melancholy and gentle: "The hardships I suffered back then were all for the two of them, and I can't end up being unable to keep either of them."

Fourth Aunt's wife shed a stream of tears, thinking of Cheng Fengtai's hard years as a young man, her heart was filled with shame and pain, she cried for a long time before she nodded. Cheng Fengtai stood up and said with a smile: "I'll go to Second Grandma and say, these days, Auntie spends more time with Meiyin."

Cheng Fengtai went to the theater, the evening performances were all over, and then there was a program prepared just for Cheng Fengtai. Shang Xirui drove away most of the people, leaving only the huqin of Lai Zi and Li Qiaosong, cut off the plot without beginning and end, and prepared a few plays in which he himself appeared, which was a collection of excerpts. Others didn't know why, so they played with their class leader in a daze, and even Wang Leng came. After singing the first two performances, the young Cai E, who was addicted to the show, took off his makeup and came to greet Cheng Fengtai: "I'm sorry, second brother, I can't do it today. Singing for a long time. I'm leaving too, the car tomorrow morning." She said with a smile: "Just for these two excerpts, I recited the script overnight."

General Songpo on the stage has changed, and Xiaofengxian and Xiaofengxian are drinking and having fun in the brothel, but in reality they suppress their ambitions and talk deeply. Although there was only Cheng Fengtai in the audience, his singing and appearance were not sloppy, Cheng Fengtai's eyes were glued to Shang Xirui, he turned his head slightly to talk to Wang Leng. Wang Leng said: "Let's all go, Boss Shang will be lonely."

Cheng Fengtai said: "He won't, he has something to play."

Wang Leng said: "It's not necessary to sing opera all the time, and you will still be lonely when you step off the stage!"

Cheng Fengtai was speechless, Wang Leng couldn't wait to finish the play, so he said goodbye. Cheng Fengtai's heart is actually not in the play, Shang Xirui is full of eyes and ears, he wants to take a good look at this person, seeing his eyes sour and moist, as for Xiaofengxian's fate and story, he doesn't care.

The dewy marriage between Xiao Fengxian and General Songpo will finally come to an end, the outside world is full of dangers, and the two are about to part. Shang Xirui turned around and sang to Cai E:

A thread of love entangles her body.

Yan Wanliang was greedy and lingered in time.

Pour fine wine and raise a golden cup and preserve the seeds,

Broken mountains and rivers are only to be shouldered.

General—

This chanting came out melodiously and then stopped abruptly. After waiting for a long time, there was no more words. Li Qiaosong pulled the Erhuang Sanban twice, but Shang Xirui's harmony froze, without a single sound, Xiao Fengxian and Cai E's farewell were just swallowed up by Shang Xirui. The two people's eyes met, Li Qiaosong stopped immediately, he could tell that Shang Xirui was not in the scene.

Shang Xirui turned off the ignition halfway, General Songpo was dumbfounded. For today's show, rehearsals are not called rehearsals, and performances are not called performances. If it's a rehearsal, you don't have to dress so solemnly; if it's a performance, Shang Xirui never forgets his lines in the middle. General Songpo looked at him with airs, while Shang Xirui stood in the middle of the stage, his complexion changed, his thoughts changed, his spirit hung in mid-air and swayed for a while, from dazed to struggling, and finally returned to his body.

Shang Xirui said: "I'm hungry."

After finishing speaking, he took off his costume on the spot, instead of going behind the scenes, he jumped down the stage and said directly to Cheng Fengtai: "Second Master, let's go to supper." Shang Xirui seemed to be really hungry, and took off his head with both hands The jewelry was stuffed into Xiaolai's arms, revealing the original short hair, a long gown over the water jacket, and a light-colored thin cloak. She didn't take off her makeup. Fortunately, she had a clear face, so she didn't look very eye-catching at night. He grabbed Cheng Fengtai's wrist, without looking back, he left as if fleeing from a disaster.

General Songpo couldn't help shouting: "Team leader!"

Li Qiaosong wiped the rosin powder off his knees with a towel, and turned away from get off work with a blank expression. Xiao Lai picked up Shang Xirui's costume, put it in his arms, and lost his mind for a while in the direction where Shang Xirui was leaving. General Songpo spread his hands, and said to Xiao, "Okay! Xiaofengxian left the general and ran away. What kind of show is she singing? Isn't it Lin Chong Yeben!"

Cheng Fengtai looked at Shang Xirui tonight, it was very different from the past. Shang Xirui always likes to talk about rules, he wants to say about a wrong weapon in the backstage, he also wants to say about a wrong action on stage, stop the show halfway tonight, leave the stage with makeup, anyway, it's not a rule, let alone yourself Not anymore. The two of them didn't take a car, and there were restaurants not far away. In the past, Beiping was so lively at night. People who played cards, listened to operas, and danced came to eat after the show. Now only a few have the courage to set up night markets, and they do it in a low-key manner. , You have to open the door to go in to know that it is open. Shang Xirui's cloak covers his head and face, occasionally revealing the tip of his nose, lips and eyebrows when he speaks, under the lamplight to see the makeup up close, the rich bright red, pink white and dark blue, painted like a ghost in Liaozhai, haunting in the middle of the night The kind that cannibalize people's bone marrow, weird and good-looking, with a strong temperament, and a story of a hundred years on his body, which is not like the usual naughty little actor.

They picked a newly opened Sichuan restaurant to eat. Although it was almost early morning, there were quite a few diners in the hall. Shang Xirui sat down in his seat and flipped down his hood, and said: "When I was a child, I was so hungry after singing night plays, I couldn't wait to take off my makeup and wash my face, so after changing my clothes, I sneaked out to have supper." He shook his head: "Then I made it myself The troupe master, you have a big name, you have to lead by example. Otherwise, all the actors in the backstage will wear makeup to eat and go shopping. Wouldn’t it be like Mulian saving his mother, forgetting to close the door of Fengdu, and releasing a hundred thousand little ghosts. The common people will report to the police.”

Cheng Fengtai took out a white handkerchief and threw it to him, said with a smile: "Then reporting to the police won't work, I have to go back to Longguan to invite a Taoist priest." Shang Xirui put the handkerchief between his lips and wiped it, the lipstick for theater makeup will be on his mouth later It is bitter in the skin and should be wiped off first. The waiter in the restaurant happened to come to deliver the dishes, and when he saw Shang Xirui lowered his head and wiped his mouth, he was amazed: "I said why the guest officer's mouth is bleeding hot before the food is served! Good guy, scare me!"

Shang Xirui rolled his eyelids: "Isn't this a Sichuan restaurant, you have an old Beijing accent?"

Xiao Ermao Yao: "You want a waiter from Sichuan? Yes!" Beckoning: "Gua Wazi! Come!" Putting on a stupid and honest boy, Shang Xirui ordered two dishes, ordered a lot of spicy peppers, and waited for the dishes When it was served on the table, the bowl was covered with a piece of blood red pepper, Cheng Fengtai couldn't put down his chopsticks at all. Shang Xirui sipped herbal tea and had a good time.

Cheng Fengtai said: "If you eat like this, do you want to lose your throat?"

Shang Xirui raised his index finger and hissed, while he was eating, he was eavesdropping on the boys and girls at the next table arguing! Cheng Fengtai put down his teacup and smiled: "The ears are back?"

After the quarrel, the woman dropped her handbag and ran out covering her face. The man dropped the money and hurriedly chased after it. The table of dishes has not been moved from start to finish, Gua Wazi tucked the banknotes in his pocket, dumped some dishes back and forth, Shang Xirui looked out and stopped immediately: "Hey! Don't pour it over! What a pity Ah!" He said to Gua Wazi, "You bring it here, and I'll buy zhebai."

There are some sellers of folded baskets, but that's not how they sell them. Guawazi was young and honest, and his local language was not good, so he couldn't deal with such a shameless person, so he turned around and called Old Beijing over. After listening to Shang Xirui's request, Old Beijing smiled awkwardly: "Oh, it's not going to work! You two are such top-quality characters! You can't eat leftovers! Make people laugh!"

Shang Xirui said: "Why not, if you know who I am, you know I'm top grade?"

Old Beijing can't recognize who Shang Xirui is, just look at the two people's attire and appearance, most likely they are the master of the opera actor, bringing the actor to have fun, he said with a smile: "Excuse my stupid eyes, I guess you are an actor. "

Shang Xirui said: "Have you heard of Shuiyun Tower?"

The old Beijinger was asked: "Hi! Even though I have been in Sichuan for ten years, has the owner of Shuiyun Building Business heard of it? The imperial concubine is drunk and wanders in the garden, and the electric box is dead!"

Shang Xirui said: "What Boss Shang! From now on, there will only be Boss Zhou! Me! Shuiyunlou Zhou Xiangyun! Have you ever heard of my Zhaojun going out!"

Old Beijing scratched his head: "That's... I've never heard of it."

Shang Xirui patted the table: "Come back to listen if you haven't listened, bring me that table first!"

Old Beijing couldn't say no to this sharp-tongued actor, so he lowered his head and asked Gua Wazi to serve the dishes. Shang Xirui is not kidding, he really eats, not only for himself, but also for Cheng Fengtai to eat. How could Cheng Fengtai eat with him, light a cigarette and laugh endlessly, what he is doing now is not worthy of his current good looks: "Why are you so bad! Did Xiao Zhouzi provoke you? By tomorrow, Everyone knows that he is eating leftovers in restaurants!"

Shang Xirui said: "It's no shame to eat Zheluo!"

Cheng Fengtai said: "Don't be ashamed, you should report your name!"

Shang Xirui stopped talking, ate silently, and when the bill was finished, the old Beijing looked at the wind and cloud, raised his eyebrows: "Oh! This table is really not for nothing!"

Cheng Fengtai paid enough for the meal according to the original price. Old Beijing immediately smiled: "Thank you, sir!" and bent over to Shang Xirui: "Boss Zhou, you will come here often in the future! There are plenty of baskets!"

Shang Xirui said: "I won't come, you waiter, your mouth is too cheap."

Walking out of the restaurant, the night was dark and everything was quiet. Shang Xirui ate too much spicy food, his lips turned red as if he had put on a new layer of rouge, and he was very excited, he took off his cloak and let Cheng Fengtai hold it, he swung his arms and legs there to dissipate the heat, while walking, he suddenly said: " Second Master, I just found out today that I was so stupid in the past!"

Cheng Fengtai smiled: "You are not smart now!"

Shang Xirui didn't quarrel with him: "In order to bring two points of reality into the play and make people jealous, the gold, silver and precious stones I have worn on my head for so long are heavy and tricky, not stupid! The play is fake Yes, the jewelry in the play must be real!"

Cheng Fengtai agreed: "Too stupid."

Shang Xirui said again: "I'm full of money and full of fame, and I've tried my best to sing operas for the world. After all, the world prefers vulgar operas, those that are at the top of the list, my favorite works, they don't appreciate them much Already." The common people Shang Xirui refers to are his theater fans, he has mixed with Du Qi and other literati a lot, and his artistic appreciation is always higher than that of theater fans, and selling tickets for public performances can't rely on this part mess. The rice bowl of the Millennium Liyuan eats just a vulgar word. It makes sense, but it's rare to hear Shang Xirui complain, it turns out that he also has a bit of literary popularity. He continued: "They spend money to commit suicide, they are the ones who praise me, and they are the ones who hear rumors, spread gossip, doubt me, and destroy me. Occasionally, if something goes wrong, they still beat me, scold me, and arrange me. They love me. Yang Guifei Du Liniang, who Shang Xirui sang, hit and scolded Shang Xirui, where did the broken stone statue come from? Is it stupid? I am stupid, they are even more stupid!"

Cheng Fengtai touched his face: "I didn't drink, how can I talk drunk?" Shang Xirui turned his head, his eyes clear. He regards singing as a very important thing, and it can be called the most noble business in the world. The fans of the opera are their parents, and they serve them sincerely. This night, he did something weird and said something weird. It can be seen that what happened in recent years, especially the public opinion of fans, really chilled Shang Xirui's heart. His mind is rough, but he is not an iron plate. He knows pain and anger, he knows hesitation and reflection, and he will be disheartened, which is all human. Cheng Fengtai faintly felt the omen hidden under this awakening, and was afraid that he would believe it, so he deliberately said: "If you say this, the people who really love and praise you will be sad." He slowed down: "I must still love and praise you." more people."

Shang Xirui smiled innocently: "Second Master, it's great to sing. As soon as I stand on the stage, I forget all the people who beat me and scolded me."

Cheng Fengtai felt extremely cherished in his heart: "Then you keep singing, how happy you are."

Shang Xirui looked up to the sky and let out a breath: "Second Master, the late night snack is so hot that my stomach feels hot, I want to sing right now."

Cheng Fengtai said: "Then you can sing."

Shang Xirui said: "I really sang."

Cheng Fengtai said: "Sing it, I will listen."

Shang Xirui turned around on the spot, holding an orchid in his hand, the opera sound and the hot air slowly dissipated. What a sound that is! Cheng Fengtai thought to himself, this is the voice transmitted from the sky, it is transmitted to the human world to save suffering and distress, hearing it can forget life, death and worry, it can stir the will of the living, and comfort the dead, it is called the sound of nature. So the more dire and hot the world is, the more uninterrupted the opera sounds are, this is the blessing of the heavens! How long has the spiritual energy been condensed in the world, and how many opportunities have been reincarnated, to be able to undertake this voiceless sound!

How dare Cheng Fengtai keep it private.

Summer nights are difficult to sleep and easy to wake up, plus it is easy to get up and down. Many people who heard this sound came out to look. They saw the street in the early morning, the street lights were dim, and a man in a long gown with costumes was standing in front of him. There was singing there, and another person listened obsessively. They were not afraid that the two of them were wild ghosts or madmen, because they were all caught by the opera sound, and suspected that they were in a dream, and the person in the dream was not a human, but a ray of soul, and it was not unusual to meet gods and ghosts. If it wasn't in a dream, there is no way to explain this situation! How can there be such a beautiful voice in the world!

Shang Xirui's play attracted people, but also ghosts. The Japanese soldiers patrolling in the distance came in a group, sounded their sirens, people flocked and scattered, Cheng Fengtai dragged Shang Xirui to run too, it was no big deal that they were caught by the Japanese, but they just didn't want to be with them Deal with the Japanese. When Shang Xirui woke up from the drama, he was the one who dragged Cheng Fengtai and ran back to Luogu Lane in one breath, the two stopped and looked at each other, their eyes intertwined, they saw a kind of dissected flesh on each other's face Air, like a person's original face after a big fright or a big surprise, expressionless expression, all expressions.

Before Cheng Fengtai could catch his breath, Shang Xirui pressed against the door panel and kissed, making the door panel rattle. Xiao Lai was not asleep in the room, waiting for Shang Xirui to open the door, and asked: "Brother Rui is back?"

Shang Xirui yelled: "Sleep with you! Don't come out!" He didn't want Xiaolai to open the door to meet him, turned over and jumped on the wall, stretched out half of his body and stretched out his hand towards Cheng Fengtai, his eyes burning hot. Cheng Fengtai and him are of the same mind, knowing very well that their current appearance belongs only to each other, they cannot be seen, they don't want to be seen, they want to hide from people all over the world. Shang Xirui pulled Cheng Fengtai up the wall with great strength, Cheng Fengtai's legs were weak from running just now, he jumped down, Shang Xirui was going to catch him, failed, the two fell to the ground and rolled in a circle. Shang Xirui went mad when he hugged Cheng Fengtai, his men strangled him so hard that he was dying, kissed him thoughtlessly, said it was a kiss, but actually bit his lips with his teeth, Cheng Fengtai finally had some sense, Said: "Go back to the house! Don't make trouble here!"

Pulling back into the house, Shang Xirui kicked the door shut with a loud noise, then fell on the bed, which also made a loud noise. They didn't gossip, they rolled on the bed and made a lot of noise, tearing off the masks hanging from the curtains. Until dawn, the movement stopped, Xiao Lai got up in the outer room to sweep the floor and wash up, there were birds singing, and the shadow of Cheng Fengtai's newly planted plum tree was cast on the window of the bedroom by the sunlight. Shang Xirui leaned on Cheng Fengtai's arm, put the mask on his face, looked at the plum shadows through the two holes, he remembered that Jiulang once said that the plum trees in the yard don't need to be cut, it's better if there is a long shortage, otherwise you would look at that plum tree every day The old shadow reminisces about the past, but is sad. Shang Xirui didn't feel much when he heard it in the past, but now he suddenly understands, when Cheng Fengtai takes his children away like this, he will be sad when he looks at the plum tree shadow on the window every day

Cheng Fengtai turned over and stretched out his arms: "Sleep for a while, the second master is gone, there are still many things to be busy." He yawned one after another, his spirit listless, and fell down again: "No, I still have to sleep After a while, wake me up at lunch, I'm going to see Xiao Dongyang." Compared with Shang Xirui, his young master's body is really not enough.

Shang Xirui said: "Didn't you have a lot of energy last night? It's empty right now, you're living on lust."

Cheng Fengtai said: "I actually don't have much lust for you."

Shang Xirui's eyes widened and he moved violently, pinching Cheng Fengtai's throat: "You haven't taken up your pants yet, you don't admit it!"

Cheng Fengtai struggled to laugh: "Just like you, ah, such a savage. No matter how good-looking you are, you can't be considered attractive!" Shang Xirui let him go resentfully, unexpectedly he had a serious tone, and said in a low voice: " We are so good with you, you can only relieve your anger if you sleep with your arms in your arms."

Shang Xirui said: "Oh." He understands very well, when he loves Cheng Fengtai to the extreme, there will be inexplicable bad breath in his heart, angry out of thin air, just want to beat him or sleep him.

This day, Shang Xirui didn't shout, for fear of disturbing Cheng Fengtai's sleep, he ate breakfast quietly in the yard. He didn't even talk to Xiao Xiao all morning, for fear of making a sound. When Cheng Fengtai woke up and got up, Shang Xirui finally opened the gate, pointing and talking, Cheng Fengtai ignored him again, and asked Sakata to meet him at the club later, in a bad mood, put two mouthfuls of rice in his mouth , told Shang Xirui to take his medicine on time, and left.

In the Japanese club, sitting next to Cheng Fengtai was a prostitute in kimono. The prostitute held a cigarette in one hand, hooked Cheng Fengtai's neck, and pressed the cigarette butt to his lips intermittently. Cheng Fengtai held his cards and was busy betting money with the officers. His card skills were honed by spending days and nights at the poker table, so he was no match for a soldier. Cheng Fengtai had won a few rounds and sprayed smoke on the poker table presumptuously, which made the faces of a few Japanese very ugly.

Sakata does not engage in gambling, pornography, smoking or drinking. He is a knife of the Kujo family, and it is not his turn to enjoy the benefits of being a human being. But at this moment, he was standing behind Cheng Fengtai, surrounded by the surrounding wine, sex and wealth, with the utmost patience, he said: "Mr. Cheng, there are a lot of people here, please talk to me in the quiet room."

Cheng Fengtai puffed smoke while talking: "I'm here, I can't run away, it's okay to be late!" Pointing to those poker players: "Besides, they won't let me go, right?"

There is no need to speak between the players, there is a tacit understanding, and the officer will express his opinion on the spot. Sakata had no choice but to back down again and again, and waited for them to finish the round, and one of the officers lost his bet, Cheng Fengtai hurriedly raised his chips: "Hey! What's the matter with you Japanese! You are addicted to grabbing things, right? Why don't you play?" It’s time to play cards, just go to my house to get the money and save trouble!” The chips pulled back were all stuffed into the prostitute’s collar, and the woman’s belt was tightly tied, just like a money bag, her chest swelled up, and she kept laughing happily.

Cheng Fengtai patted the woman's chest: "Did you see? Cheap whores are not cheap for you!"

When Sakata heard it, his face was hardened.

Ever since he half-forcibly swallowed Cheng Fengtai's "Silk Road", Cheng Fengtai has become more and more disrespectful in front of Sakata, like a resentful creditor, criticizing Sanghuai inside and out. It is true that Sakata owed him, but this is not the attitude a subjugated citizen should have towards the invaders anyway, what can he do, he still has something to ask Cheng Fengtai.

In the quiet room, after listening to Sakata's words, Cheng Fengtai laughed unceremoniously: "I said earlier that the bandits on that road only recognize people from their own family, and I kindly left my buddies to you, but you don't trust me, insist on Insert a few Japanese soldiers inside. Who is to blame for cheating?" Cheng Fengtai waved his hand: "The female bandits on that road, who eat human flesh, I can't control."

Sakata stood by the window with his hands behind his back, and took two steps: "Mr. Cheng, isn't he going to rescue your fellows?"

Cheng Fengtai smiled: "Don't! They are your buddies now!"

Sakata looked at him with a serious face, he could threaten him with his actor lover in the past, but now, Cheng Fengtai's business is mixed with the shares of high-ranking Japanese officials, the British are willing to buy his face, and with the addition of Commander Cao, Sakata can't Every time Cheng Fengtai was forced to go up to Daoshan Mountain, and Cheng Fengtai was forced to act as a bachelor, but he was forced to be responsible for being robbed of arms by bandits for the sake of convenience. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to make a condition, promising him a profit, and saying that as long as he was willing to show up to negotiate with Gu Dali, he would be happy with his success or failure.

At this point, if Cheng Fengtai shirks it, he is afraid that Sakata will make a quick look at him. Outsiders see them working together, but in fact it is such a relationship where the dog bites the sloppy and fears twice. Cheng Fengtai said: "Don't give me money, I don't want money. In troubled times, a rich businessman is very dangerous. For example, without the prestige of Commander Cao, I would have no peace, right?"

Sakata said: "Mr. Cheng is worrying too much, I'm talking about rules."

"Okay, let's talk about the rules." Cheng Fengtai snuffed out his cigarette and exhaled: "I, Cheng Fengtai, have ruined my reputation for you Japanese, and everyone scolded me, so my sister severed ties with me. Until now, even if this road is my real gold If you sell silver to you, you have to manage the repairs? What kind of rule is this?"

Sakata opened his mouth to retort, Cheng Fengtai raised his hand to stop him: "For the last time, I will take a trip for you. From now on, this road has nothing to do with me at all. You can save it to fight wars, get rich, and do whatever you want. After finishing the work, I will go back to Shanghai for you Don't stop me, you don't need me anymore."

Sakata looked at the white hair on top of his head and acquiesced. Cheng Fengtai said again: "Wait until after my brother-in-law's wedding and then set off, the ammunition won't die, your people, if you want to kill them, kill them early."

On the night of Fan Lian's and Sheng Ziqing's wedding, there were Japanese plain clothes waiting for Cheng Fengtai at the door, all the clothes and equipment that should be shipped out were in order, and only the second master of the family was waiting to go on the road. Where did he go this trip, Cheng Fengtai didn't tell Second Mistress in detail, what happened last time when he was detained by Gu Dali left the family with lingering fears. Fan Lian sent him to the car all the way, nodding, breathing out alcohol: "It's been more than ten years, how come I didn't take good care of you? Oh, it didn't count last time, last time Chachaer was She ran away by herself, I didn't let the wolf take her away!"

When Cheng Fengtai heard Chacha'er's name, he was not very happy: "What about the last time? The opera singers are so deaf that they know it all over the city, and you are still pretending!"

Fan Lian hiccupped and showed embarrassment: "He is like your little wife. When you go away, I keep running to my sister-in-law's house. It's shameless."

Cheng Fengtai didn't talk to him, put his hand on his chest and patted him: "Look carefully at my big stall, don't wait for me to pick your skin off." Zhumu glanced at the worried Second Grandma standing on the steps, afraid that she would fall again. Tears, grabbed the car door and closed it.

Mentioning Shang Xirui just now, Cheng Fengtai was thinking in his heart that he must drive around to Luogu Lane, saying that he had an important thing to pick up. He didn't know if Shang Xirui was at home at the moment, he knocked on the door for a long time in vain, but no one answered, the Japanese kept urging him in the car, Cheng Fengtai had to leave. Here the front foot got into the car, Shang Xirui came back on the back foot, didn't see Cheng Fengtai's people when he came back, he only caught a glimpse of the rear of the car, and it wasn't Cheng Fengtai's rear, but Shang Xirui had such an inspiration and felt It was Cheng Fengtai who was sitting inside, without saying a word, he left Xiao Lai and ran after him, until he crossed the corner of the street. In the middle of the night, the Japanese took Cheng Fengtai to carry out a secret mission, and a beggar appeared behind him, which was very suspicious no matter what. The driver stopped the car, and the other two plainclothes loaded their pistols, Cheng Fengtai looked back and saw that Shang Xirui was lying outside the window panting, and quickly shouted: "It doesn't matter, it's my friend!"

The plainclothes silently put away the gun, Shang Xirui had already seen it, he immediately became nervous and slapped the glass window: "Who are they? Where are you going?"

Cheng Fengtai got out of the car and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you a few days ago? There is something wrong with the goods, and I'll be back in ten and a half months. I didn't expect to be pressed so hard that I had to go on a night trip. Come here and talk to you."

Shang Xirui looked at the Japanese in the car warily: "Can you do it? Or I'll go with you?"

Cheng Fengtai said: "What are you going with, the little dry food we brought is not enough for you to eat on the way."

After saying this, he wanted to make Shang Xirui smile back, but in the end both of them remained silent, looking at each other covetously through a street lamp. A little longer, the Japanese were urging him in the car again, Shang Xirui lingered, feeling empty and panicked, his heart was very irritable, he punched the roof of the car, and roared angrily: "What are you shouting for! What time is it? The neighbors don't sleep !"

This guy was so powerful, it was as if a squib had dropped on the roof, and the whole car shook slightly. Cheng Fengtai frowned and took his hand, even if the copper skin and iron bones were about to hurt, he secretly squeezed and rubbed it for him: "Stop your bad temper! What did the doctor say? Don't you want your ears anymore!"

Shang Xirui was unhappy, twisted his neck, sniffed from his nostrils. Cheng Fengtai touched his cheek with one hand, pulled him against his forehead, and said softly: "You are at home, remember to take your medicine carefully!"

When Cheng Fengtai returned to the car, all the Japanese quietly glanced at his face and moved their bodies uncomfortably, he just didn't know. In the rearview mirror, Shang Xirui stood at the entrance of the alley, a figure like a lonely ghost, still staring at the farewell, Cheng Fengtai was very sad to see it. By the end of this year, the two of them have known each other for five full years, and it's still as good as this, even better than five years ago, how could this be possible
