Chapter 149 Arrival

Chapter 149 Arrival
As the sun set, the sea became deeper and deeper. Zuo Zhong and Shen Dongxin looked at the stars and lights in the distance. It was the lighthouse at Sanjiangkou in Ningbo. The wanderer finally returned home.

Shen Dongxin said with emotion: "Zuo Zhong, it's home, everything is good at home, everything is difficult when going out, I finally understand this."

Zuo Chong leaned on the railing: "Things are more expensive than their hometowns, and people are less expensive than their hometowns. What our ancestors said makes sense. You don't have to worry too much. If you really can't, just go to the Central Military Academy."

Shen Dongxin didn't say a word. He said it lightly before, but he wasted years and got nothing. Not only was he unable to explain to his parents, but it was also a major blow to himself.

In this turbulent era, young people always think about how to make a contribution to the country and the nation. Joining the army is the most direct way, such as Whampoa students.

After a long while, Shen Dongxin said dejectedly: "It's easy for you to say, you need the chairman's nod to enroll in the Central Army Military Academy, but unfortunately my father has nothing to do with that."

Zuo Zhong smiled slightly and did not speak. Shen Dongxin's admission to the best military academy in France is enough to show his academic level and talent. Mr. Zhu Jiahua should be willing to help.

The secret agents of the intelligence department had packed their luggage a long time ago, and they spread around Zuozhong in twos and threes to separate the nearby people. Song Minghao and others stood respectfully not far away, and the passengers seemed to be aware of the behavior of these people. Unusual, they stayed away from here, leaving a large space around.

Gu Qi came over and said: "Let's get off the boat first, I have asked the captain to arrange it."

Zuo Zhong looked at Shen Dongxin, and walked aside with Gu Qi, he said: "Let everyone pay attention to discipline, protect your luggage, we have more equipment, in case someone steals the sheep."

This is not a joke. The law and order situation at the Republic of China wharf station is very complicated. Thieves, no matter if you are a spy or a military officer, you can often hear that a certain official was picked up at the train station.

The bored Shen Dongxin looked at the nearby tunic suits, and was even more sure that Zuo Zhong's identity was not that simple, and when the two first met, he asked about Zuo Zhong's job, Zuo Zhong immediately changed the subject, presumably because he didn't want to talk about this issue , Is this old friend's job very sensitive?
Just as he was thinking wildly, Zuo Zhong suddenly turned around and said, "Dong Xin, we will disembark together later, which cabin do you live in, I will ask someone to pack your luggage for you, so you don't have to go back."

Shen Dongxin was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The second-class cabin No. 28 lower berth, there are only some clothes and books in it, but isn't that too good?"

Gu Qi smiled at the side: "Mr. Shen, it's okay, just leave this kind of matter to me." After speaking, he left without waiting for him to reply, and took two Chinese tunic suits with him, looking in a hurry.

Seeing that Shen Dongxin was still a little uneasy, Zuo Zhong patted him on the shoulder: "Old Gu is a warm-hearted person, and he is also like this in the police station. He is always so eager to help others. Just thank him later."

Shen Dongxin thought about it, and turned to chat with Zuo Zhong about his anecdotes when he was studying in France. As expected, there was never a shortage of jokes about the French, and the two laughed out loud from time to time when they talked about funny things.

The warm-hearted Gu Gu in Zuo Zhong's mouth was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the second-class cabin No. 28 at the moment. Two small agents took out all of Shen Dongxin's belongings and put them all on the ground for inspection one by one.

Books, clothes, a suitcase, a few foreign-style small gifts, and some common toiletries. Gucci picked up those books first. He didn’t understand the text on them, but the illustrations inside were weapons and formations. It is the textbook of the French military academy, which is in line with the background of the other party.

Putting the book down, he picked up the collar of a suit and touched the pockets and collar with his hands. There were no interlayers or items. He checked the other pieces in the same way and found no problems.

As for the inner layer of the suitcase, the toiletries and the small gifts, Gu Qi opened it and checked it all. Everything is normal. It seems that Shen Dongxin has no problems, so that's good, so as to save them such troublesome subordinates.

Gu Qi put the things down and said to the spies: "Return to the original state, pack it in luggage, if you let me know that someone is talkative, be careful of military law."

The two agents bowed their heads and said, "Yes, Deputy Section Chief Gu."

Soon Gu Qi came back with his luggage. After meeting him, he nodded slightly to Zuo Zhong. Zuo Zhong kept his face calm and put down a stone in his heart. We can only check it again, it is good for everyone if there is no problem now.

Gu Qi handed the suitcase to Shen Dongxin, and apologized: "Mr. Shen, the subordinates are very rude, and the packing is a bit messy, please forgive me."

After Shen Dongxin took it, he quickly waved his hand: "Where is it, thank you Mr. Gu."

While speaking, the passenger ship Yaobei slowed down and slowly approached the waterway of the port. More passengers carried their luggage onto the deck.

"Woo hoot." The passenger ship blew its whistle, reminding the boat to get on and off.

Usually at night, Sanjiangkou is already pitch black, but with the long sound of the siren, the silence of the night is broken, and the pier begins to come alive, gradually brightly lit, and bustling with people.

The pick-up crowd blocked by the iron gate at the exit of the pier stood on their feet, their necks stretched out, and they stared at the empty passageway.

Among them were a pair of father and son and several strong men. The father was wearing a satin robe and a gentleman's hat. When he saw the ship docking on the shore, the young man beside him was very excited: "Father, the eldest brother must be on it."

The middle-aged man looked serious, and reprimanded him: "Zuo Jun, how did I tell you in the past, a gentleman wants Mount Tai to collapse in front of him without changing his face?"

"The elk tends to be on the left side but does not blink its eyes, and then it can control its advantages and disadvantages, and it can wait for the enemy. Dad, you are talking about the old Huangli." The young man interrupted impatiently.

The middle-aged man glanced at his younger son and said nothing, as long as he can memorize the words, if he wants to understand and use them, he needs to experience it himself.

At this time, someone finally came out of the pier, and the waiting crowd immediately became agitated. Amidst the shouts of "come, come, come", the reception area became even more crowded.

But to the disappointment of many people, a group of black-clothed men came out of the passenger aisle, and they looked like they belonged to the same group, with serious faces and an unfriendly look.

Zuo Zhong led his men and walked off Yao Beilun under the displeased gazes of all the passengers. He felt very complicated at this time. The instinctive homesickness and entanglement were very appropriate to describe it as worrying about gains and losses.

He has inherited all of Yuan Zuozhong's memories and emotions. In a sense, it can be said that he is Yuan Zuozhong, but with a modern memory, Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, and a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou, who can tell the difference.

So when he saw his father and younger brother in the crowd, Zuo Zhong had a heartfelt smile on his face due to the faint connection in his blood, and his steps became a little brisk unconsciously.

Everyone in the intelligence department was a little surprised when they saw this. Many people said that the chief of the department was young and mature, and he was a smiling tiger with a vicious and sinister face. There is a soft side, such as facing the family.

Zuo Zhong walked towards the exit quickly, and behind him Shen Dongxin and his subordinates hastened their pace to keep up.

Zuo Shanwen looked at the elder son who was getting closer and closer, with a trace of warmth in his eyes. Zuo Zhong's character was as taciturn as himself, and he didn't know if he suffered a lot from being outside for the past two years.

Zuo Zhong walked up to Zuo Shanwen and bowed: "Father, Zuo Zhong is back."

Zuo Shanwen helped him up: "Just come back, your grandfather and mother are waiting for you at home."

The boy also tugged on Zuo Zhong's sleeve, his eyes were red: "Brother, you are back."

Zuo Zhong smiled and rubbed his younger brother Zuo Jun's head: "You are all young men, why do you still cry like a little girl? A man bleeds but does not shed tears. Do you understand?"

Zuo Jun wiped his nose and said unconvinced: "I didn't cry, I just did"

After thinking for a long time, he didn't give a reason, Zuo Shanwen and Zuo Zhong looked at each other and laughed.

But Zuo Zhong still had doubts, and asked Zuo Shanwen: "Father, how do you know that I'm coming back today, and I'm going to give you a surprise."

Zuo Shanwen revealed with a smile: "Your teacher sent a telegram to your family, saying that you will return to Ningbo on the Yaobei ship today. No, Zuo Jun and I will pick you up. It seems that your teacher thinks highly of you."

Oh, it turned out to be Dai Chunfeng's arrangement, Zuo nodded his head, and lamented that Lao Dai's wrists were really clever, and people couldn't help feeling grateful.

Thinking of this, Zuo Zhong hurriedly introduced his subordinates to Zuo Shanwen.

"Father, this is my colleague, Gucci, who has helped me in my work."

Gu Qi heard the introduction of the section chief, and quickly said modestly: "I'm overwhelmed, these are what I should do, and I have benefited a lot."

Zuo Shanwen shook hands with Gu Qi with a smile on his face, but he had more doubts in his heart. What is his son doing? Is he really in the police station?
In the letter, Zuo Zhong just said that he followed the teacher. They subconsciously thought that he was a teacher in the police academy, but now it seems that this is not the case, because this person named Gu Qi has too much official air about him.

But the son didn't say there must be a reason, Zuo Shanwen met Song Minghao, Wu Chunyang and others kindly, and when he saw He Yijun, his attitude was even more kind, which made Zuo Zhong a little embarrassed.

He Yijun greeted Zuo Shanwen, blushed and hid behind the crowd, and the intelligence department laughed secretly, thinking that there would be a day for a hero among women.

"Uncle Zuo, please save my nephew's life!" Shen Dongxin shouted from the side, breaking the weird atmosphere.

Zuo Shanwen had seen the Shen family boy a long time ago, and when he and Zuo Zhong happened to run into each other, he didn't expect this to happen again, and was immediately taken aback.

Zuo Zhong hurriedly explained in a low voice, Zuo Shanwen frowned: "The Japanese just need a beating, Dong Xin, don't be afraid, I'll go tell your father, you've boosted my national ambition, well done."

Everyone said, it really is the section chief's father, he is also jealous, it is really a family tradition.

At this moment, there are more and more other passengers, and a large group of passengers come, carrying their shoulders on their shoulders, or supporting the old and the young, crowding to the exit in the loud and hard Ningbo dialect, with a few light and soft words mixed in from time to time. Waxy Shanghai dialect.

Zuo Zhong walked out of the pier and saw an extremely familiar scene.

Under the dim street lights, the familiar yellow crocodile car was still yelling "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" among the crowd like a snake.

The old lady selling tea eggs and the little woman selling wonton buns are still yelling vigorously in the old place, soliciting business...
