20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 51 The Wind
When Zhang Zongchang saw the gold and silver jewelry on the ground, he was stunned. He felt that the wind and sand were so strong at this moment that his eyes were dry and dry, and his eyes were like awls, nailed to them, unable to move. move.

"Brother Zhang?" Jiang Xiaodao called softly.

Zhang Zongchang came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed. He laughed twice and asked: "Brother, why are there women's jewelry in here? Where did you get it?"

"Hey! A hero shouldn't ask about his origins, and don't ask about where his money comes from. It's not convenient to go into details now, so just tell me. Is the money enough to redeem someone? If it's not enough, I'll think of a way."

Zhang Zongchang sighed: "Oh, brother, you really don't understand Mao Zi's nature! Let's not talk about whether it is enough. Even if they take your money, they may not let him go; if you don't have money, they may not let him go. .”

"They are not being unreasonable at all?"

"Hey! That's right!" Zhang Zongchang clapped his hands, "If they were reasonable, they would have withdrawn last year! But it's not absolute. If you can get a box of vodka, everything can be easily discussed."

"What is vodka?"

"Foreign wine."

Jiang Xiaodao was anxious: "It's so late at night, where can I go to drink wine?"

But Zhang Zongchang shook his head and said, "It's useless for you to get it. The guys from Changfeng Escort Bureau have already left."

"Leaved?" Jiang Xiaodao was startled, "When did you leave?"

"It's been more than half a month since I left."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaodao's eyes were a little disappointed, but it was fleeting.

When Zhang Zongchang saw that he was silent, he comforted him: "Brother, you don't have to feel too bad. He just went to dig for gold, so there's no guarantee he won't be able to come back."

Jiang Xiaodao waved his hand and said: "It's not uncomfortable. I tried my best. It's useless to feel uncomfortable."

"That's good! Don't worry, I will go to Siberia in a few days. If I can meet Lao Cui, I will help you take care of him!"

"You want to go too?" Jiang Xiaodao asked quickly, "What did you do?"

Zhang Zongchang laughed loudly and said, "I made a great contribution to the Changfeng Escort Agency last time. Maozi valued me very much and asked me to be the foreman there!"

"So, Brother Zhang, have you been promoted?" Jiang Xiaodao quickly clasped his hands, "Congratulations! If you see Lao Cui, be sure to take care of me!"

"sure!"

Jiang Xiaodao sighed and said: "Since the matter has come to this, I won't bother you anymore. I will go back early tomorrow morning since I have to go far away."

"Okay, brother, let's go slowly. Let's meet again in the world!"

While talking, just as he was about to pack his things and return the same way, Jiang Xiaodao glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhang Zongchang still staring blankly at the gold and silver jewelry on the ground.Then, the hand that reached out suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"Brother Zhang, keep this money!" Jiang Xiaodao said with a smile.

"Ah?" Although Zhang Zongchang was surprised, a smile appeared on his face, "No, no, no, brother, no reward for no work, I haven't helped anything, how can I charge you for it!"

"Don't say that!" Jiang Xiaodao not only held grudges, but also expressed gratitude, "If you hadn't been there, I would have gone to Siberia right now! Moreover, when you get there, you will have to help me take care of Lao Cui! "

Zhang Zongchang's eyes immediately narrowed to a slit, and after a few casual refusals, he said: "Okay, since my brother is sincere and I can't refute your face, then I - accept it?"

Jiang Xiaodao smiled and nodded: "It's time to accept it! Brother Zhang, I'm leaving then."

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Jiang Xiaodao stopped, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, although I didn't help you rescue Lao Cui, I can't ask for this money in vain. Let me tell you something."

"You said."

Zhang Zongchang came forward mysteriously, looked around, and lowered his voice and said: "Fengtian Province, there is probably going to be a war this year!"

"A war?" Jiang Xiaodao's eyes lit up, "Is the imperial court going to send troops to drive away Maozi?" "Shit! The court is still here! It's Maozi and the Japanese who are going to fight!"

Jiang Xiaodao frowned: "This is not new! Last year, I seemed to have heard someone in the city say this."

It turns out that the gangsters traveled south and north, and there was a lot of news, especially at the coastal docks in Yingkou, Lushun and other places. There were rumors that Mao Zi and the Japanese were secretly competing, and there would be a battle sooner or later.

But in the past two years, only hearing curses from both sides, but no action has been taken, the people no longer care much.Anyway, it’s a matter between two families, so there’s no point in caring about it. If it’s time to fight, you have to fight.

But Zhang Zongchang said solemnly: "It's different this time! I heard from Mao Zi that they have a belligerent imperial minister who has gained power, and they will definitely fight! I heard that Mao Zi's side is also in chaos. I'll tell you the details. I don’t understand, but please be more careful!”

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, there is always concern.

Jiang Xiaodao naturally expressed his thanks frequently.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for reminding me, I'm really leaving this time!"

"Well, Brother Jiang, take care of yourself!" Zhang Zongchang said while pulling his belongings on the ground, "I hope that when Jianghu meets again, we can both prosper!"

After saying this, the two said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Jiang Xiaodao naturally wanted to go back to look for his donkey cart, his wife, and his father; but it was not trivial to say what kind of life and legend Zhang Zongchang would have after this farewell.

…………

On Donkey Baner's car, Guan Wei stretched his neck and looked forward eagerly. He couldn't help but mutter: "What's going on! It's been almost half an hour, why haven't these two come back? Girl, that boy isn't Will something happen?"

The little girl blinked and thought to herself, I don't even know what he did. You ask me?

Guan Wei was also worried, and laughed at himself: "I am really sick and seek medical treatment in a hurry, what use is it to ask you!"

As he spoke, footsteps approached.

Guan Wei turned around and said, "Old Qi, why did you come back! Are everyone cleared?"

Gong Baonan nodded with wandering eyes: "It's all clear."

"Okay, you come here and look at the donkey cart, and I'll go over there and see how the trail is doing."

"Why are you so anxious?" Gong Baonan raised his chin, "Isn't he coming back?"

Guan Wei followed Lao Qi's line of sight and saw a figure walking this way, so he hurried to meet him.

"Xiaodao, are you okay? Where is Lao Cui?"

"We're going to Siberia." Jiang Xiaodao jumped into the donkey cart, minding his own business.

Guan Wei followed, looking left and right, and then asked, "Where's the money?"

"It's spent." Jiang Xiaodao said calmly, "I made a friend."

"Ho! Your friend is really expensive!" Guan Wei glanced at Jiang Xiaodao furtively, fearing that he would be sad, so he hit him with his elbow, "Xiaodao, don't be upset, Lao Cui, Ji People have their own destiny, maybe they can live better there!"

Gong Baonan no longer used his venomous words and said with relief: "Everyone has their own destiny, so just do your best, and your hard work will not be in vain."

"Of course it's not in vain!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaodao suddenly turned around and patted the girl on the stroller hard.

"Daughter-in-law, we have a house in Fengtian!"
