I am Fugui

Chapter 98 Mission
The second day of the fifth lunar month, Lixia.

The vibrant spring passed quietly, and summer took over the baton and continued to shine.

During this period of time, the seeds were basically sown in the plowed land, and the paddy fields were filled with evenly distributed rice seedlings. Farmers are looking forward to a good rainy weather this year.

It was noon at this time, and the glare of the sun made people unable to open their eyes. Although the sun was not as hot as in July and August, it was still red after a long exposure.

Xu Fugui wore a wide-brimmed straw hat and kept fanning the wind with a cattail fan in his hand. He looked expressionlessly at the backs of the green-skinned gangsters in front of him.

The people from Hu Mazi and Dong Daoba came to collect protection fees again, which means that the business these days has been done for nothing.

After they walked away, he took out a thread-bound book and a pencil, and wrote down the names of these green-skinned thugs, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You bastards, master, what are you writing about?"

Laishun spat at their backs, then turned around and asked.

Xu Fugui put away the thread-bound notebook, "I've said it a thousand times, calling my brother my brother, are you a pighead?"

Laishun smiled indifferently, "I always feel that the young master is more fluent."

Xu Fugui looked at the few lo mei left at the stall, and fanned the wind, "It's not for sale, close the stall."

"okay."

After cleaning up the lo-mei stall, they carried it to the back kitchen of Wang's Restaurant. The two of them walked out wearing straw hats and went straight to Tongyou Tea Restaurant.

"Boss Du, serve a pot of pekoe tea." Xu Fugui said carelessly as soon as he walked in.

"Okay, you find a place to sit, and the tea will be here soon."

As soon as Xu Fugui sat down, the acquaintances in the tea tavern greeted him one after another.

"Fugui closed the stall? Is there any lo mei left? Take it out and put it on the table, let's have a drink together, I invite you."

"That's right, you've earned so much money from selling lo-mei, you only drink tea every time you come here, and you're reluctant to buy wine."

"Fugui, whether you sell your lo-mei recipe or not, the price is negotiable."

"Fugui, if you want to go to the brothel or not, I invite you."

There was a lot of noise in the teahouse, Xu Fugui smiled and responded one by one, joking with them.

Laishun didn't say a word, just listened to them with a silly smile.

After drinking two cups of tea, Xu Fugui tugged on his belt, "Relieve your hand."

"I'll go too." Lai Shun followed.

Xu Fugui glanced at him, and he went to the yard behind the tavern with him, and after peeing, he said, "You go back first, I suddenly want a big one."

"Oh."

Not long after Laishun left, Du Yuzhi, who was wearing a plaid shirt, came over with a serious expression on his face.

"Comrade Fugui, is there any news recently?"

Xu Fugui replied: "Comrade Yuzhi, I was just about to report to you that the frequency of food collection and tax collection has been much higher during this period, and the treatment of conscription has been raised to a higher level. No fewer than ten soldiers!"

"Not only that, I found out that iron mines in many places are working at night. In addition, a truck stopped yesterday afternoon to ask for water. I found out that it was loaded with baggage."

The expression on Du Yuzhi's face became more serious, "Comrade Fugui, do you have any guesses?"

Xu Fugui said in a very affirmative tone: "I think the southern troops are going to attack."

"Oh? How dare you be so sure."

Xu Fugui couldn't explain easily, so he explained casually: "If the southern army doesn't do anything, then why does he have to recruit so many soldiers and collect so much food?"

Du Yuzhi nodded, "We can't guess what will happen in the future, but we must send the summary of intelligence to the North, you follow me."

Coming to the back room, Du Yuzhi took out a black telegraph from the hidden compartment of the wardrobe, which looked like a rectangular box.

"Can you send the telegram?"

Since joining the organization, Du Yuzhi has been teaching him how to do intelligence work, and using a telegraph machine is also one of the contents.

Xu Fugui nodded, sat in front of the telegraph, and knocked skillfully.

Du Yuzhi praised: "Fugui, why are you so smart? You have learned the telegraph so quickly. Others have to learn it for a long time."

Xu Fugui chuckled, he also discovered that after being reborn, he has a particularly strong learning ability.

After sending the telegram, Du Yuzhi said again: "Comrade Fugui, I have one more thing to ask you."

Xu Fugui straightened his back, "I will do whatever I can, I will definitely complete every task assigned by the organization."

Du Yuzhi nodded, "Recently, the southern troops have launched a severe attack on our intelligence system. According to reliable sources, this tea tavern seems to be targeted."

"So I want you to transfer the intelligence data and the transmitter. It is best to transfer the intelligence data outside the city."

"Comrade Fugui, this task is very difficult, because you not only have to keep the intelligence materials well, but you also have to prevent others from discovering them at all times."

"Especially when passing through the city gate, you must be extremely careful."

"Before the security of the city gate is strengthened, the intelligence materials and transmitters will be transferred out in advance."

Xu Fugui nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I am very familiar with the county seat, and I can leave the city from other places, so where do I need to transfer the information and transmitter?"

Du Yuzhi shook his head, "We can't confirm it yet. Before confirming it, you should keep it properly."

Xu Fugui nodded. For others, this task may not be easy to accept, but for him, he only needs to put these intelligence materials and transmitters in the space.

"Okay, I leave everything to you. Remember, you must protect yourself, Comrade Fugui."

Xu Fugui smiled, and took out a thread-bound notebook from his pocket, "This is the bad guys I recorded, including bully landlords, bad businessmen, and green-skinned gangsters."

Du Yuzhi took it over and took a look, "Long Er, Dong Dao Scar, Hu Mazi, Yi Hong"

There are quite a few names on it, Du Yuzhi closed the notebook, and said coldly: "These old-time scum, well, I will write it down, everything is for the common people, if there is a chance in the future, these people must be eradicated."

Xu Fugui paid a military salute, and said in a low voice: "Everything is for the common people, everything is for the new rabbit."

When Xu Fugui returned to the main hall, Laishun muttered, "Brother, why does it take you so long to untie your big hands every time, I almost drank all the tea."

Xu Fugui drank the remaining tea in one gulp, "Let's go."

The pedestrians on the street were in twos and threes, all of them were sad, and they were much less deserted than half a year ago.

"Please, please buy my daughter back."

One person was sitting on the street and shouting feebly, and standing in front of him was a scrawny female doll who was weeping silently.

Xu Fugui lowered his eyes, took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket, thought for a while, put the copper coins back, bought a few buns, walked over, and handed them to the girl.

Watching the girl finish eating the buns with her own eyes, she looked indifferently at the drooling adult, turned and left.
