Chapter 114 The Clumsy Xiaoyu

into the night.

Xinmin Street.

Rhododendron's house.

Qi Yue sat on the sofa and read the newspaper.

The servant Xiaoyu cleaned up the cups, plates, and chopsticks on the dining table, and placed them on the tray one by one. With a bang, the glass at the bottom fell to the ground, and the cups, plates, and chopsticks lost their support and scattered on the dining table.

Qi Yue looked up.

Xiaoyu squatted on the ground to pick up the broken glass.

Hearing the noise, Du Juan stepped in.

Xiaoyu stood up and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, miss, I..."

Du Juan said softly, "It's okay, it's just a cup, be careful not to cut your hands."

Xiaoyu lowered her head: "I will definitely pay attention next time."

Du Juan smiled and said, "Why are you nervous? I've said it's fine. Go get busy."

Watching Xiaoyu leave the living room with the tray, Qi Yue looked thoughtful.

Du Juan sat down: "What do you think?"

"You servant, where did you find it?"

Qi Yue asked.

Du Juan said, "A friend introduced you, what's the matter?"

Qi Yue said: "Listen to the accent, isn't she a local?"

Du Juan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, she is also half of your fellow villager."

"Half fellow countryman?"

"She is from Zhuozhou."

Qi Yue said: "In terms of accent, Zhuozhou and Beiping are really similar..."

Du Juan said: "She and her parents have been running a small business in Beiping, and they have similar accents, and they have lived in Peiping, so you are half fellows."

Qi Yue asked: "Then why did you come to Binjiang?"

Du Juan said: "In the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, her parents unfortunately died in the Japanese bombing. At that time, Xiaoyu was only 13 years old. She had no relatives in Peiping and had nowhere to go. She had to follow a few fellow villagers and fled all the way to Binjiang. If you don’t come, you can only be a servant.”

"It's not easy to leave your hometown at a young age. In the final analysis, it's all an innocent disaster brought about by war..."

Qi Yue said with emotion.

Du Juan said: "Nowadays, there are too many such things to count. There is no way."

"Why doesn't she go back to Zhuozhou? Her parents are gone, so there are always relatives and old friends in my hometown."

Qi Yue casually browsed the newspaper.

Du Juan said: "People told her that Zhuozhou was also occupied by the Japanese. The Japanese soldiers did all sorts of bad things, including murder and arson, and robbing men and women. As a child, she had no idea at all. She was scared to death. I heard that There is no war in the Northeast, so I followed my fellow countrymen to Binjiang in a daze."

Qi Yue sighed: "It's really pitiful..."

Du Juan said: "This is also the main reason I hired her. Otherwise, I should have found someone who was older and stronger."

Qi Yue said, "How is her work?"

Du Juan said: "Very serious, just a little slower."

Qi Yue looked around: "The house is pretty clean and tidy..."

Du Juan said: "This is when Xiaoyu was not at home. I cleaned it up myself."

Qi Yue couldn't help but laugh: "Instead of this, why not just change to another servant."

Du Juan said: "Xiaoyu is so pitiful. At least I don't have to suffer too much. Besides, what I need is not a servant, but a kind of identity protection. Xiaoyu is very good, and she is honest and responsible."

"As an agent, you should avoid being emotional."

Qi Yue reminded.

Du Juan said, "Don't worry, I have a measure."

Qi Yue didn't say anything more, but doubts arose in his heart. Xiaoyu Binjiang, who was 13 years old, had been a servant for at least three or four years. It is said that he has quite a lot of experience, so he should be orderly in his work.

But she just cleaned up the dishes, and she seemed a little clumsy. For example, the cups are small, at least they shouldn't be placed at the bottom. For a person who often does housework, this belongs to the category of common sense.

"At the beginning, if the stationmaster Qiu reminded me, I would never have thought of hiring someone..."

Rhododendron said.

……

the next day.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky was cloudy and closed, and there was a muffled thunder sound from deep in the clouds.

Two police trucks and more than a dozen cars rushed to the Dongsijiazi cemetery.

Jiang Bin drove.

Ma Zhuang sat in the co-pilot.

Qi Yue leaned on the back seat of the car and dozed off.

Jiang Bin glanced at the rearview mirror: "Qi Yue, were you tired last night?"

Ma Zhuang happily played with the camera in his hand.

Qi Yue sat up, yawned, and turned his face to look out the window: "Where are you?"

Ma Zhuang said: "It will be there soon."

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "Ma Zhuang, did you see that our vice-captain Qi is very good at interrupting?"

Qi Yue lit a cigarette: "Jiang Bin, I'm really curious."

Jiang Bin asked, "Why are you curious?"

Qi Yue said: "What kind of unbearable experience has made a good young man who thinks he is noble become the virtue he is today!"

At this point, the convoy arrives at its destination.

Jiang Bin stopped the car and turned off the engine, and said with a smile, "Then tell me, what virtue do I have?"

Qi Yue said: "The three sentences are inseparable from the matter of men and women. What virtue are you talking about?"

"Men talk about women, and women talk about men. It's only natural. If one day, such things are considered taboo, it must be an evil era!"

Jiang Bin said seriously.

Qi Yue sneered: "It's all the same thing."

"Fart reasoning is also reasoning... Hey, why are there so many people?"

Jiang Bin said in surprise.

Chinese people are in awe of the dead. Almost no one comes to this kind of place, but today is different. A group of people gathered at the entrance of the cemetery, including men, women and children, all of them looked sad. According to visual inspection, there were at least 30 to [-] people. Behind them, there were several mule carts and donkey carts parked.

"Oh, these are the family members who collected the corpses of the prisoners."

Ma Zhuang explained.

Jiang Bin asked: "Why did they come early?"

According to past practice, the Secret Service Division executes the prisoner, and then notifies the family members to collect the body afterwards.

Qi Yue opened the door and got out of the car.

Jiang Bin and Ma Zhuang also followed.

"This is what the chief of the high-tech department meant. I don't quite understand what he said about learning from past mistakes and avoiding future ones..."

Ma Zhuang explained as he walked.

Under the escort of fully armed police, 19 Anti-Japanese prisoners entered the cemetery.

The waiting family members burst into tears.

"Back off, back off!"

"Go one step further, shoot and kill!"

"Stand back! Did you hear me!"

The policemen who maintained order shouted loudly, rattled, and pulled the bolts one after another.

Qi Yue quickly walked through them.

In the rumbling thunder.

It was raining lightly in the sky.

The "execution ground" is an open area that can be seen from the entrance of the cemetery. The anti-Japanese prisoners who were tied up in a row were ordered to kneel on the ground, and against those who resisted, they were thrown down with the butt of a gun, and they had to kneel if they did not kneel.

"The chief of the high-tech department ordered everyone in the secret service department to have sex, and each person shot a prisoner!"

Ma Zhuang said loudly.

Gao Kejian was deliberate, and the purpose of doing this was to cut off any selfish distractions in Qi Yue, and he could only serve Manchukuo wholeheartedly.
