Mr. Bao and his son: Only use Stankang for hair oil

Chapter 12 Rampant Green Gang

"Come on, you guys chat first, and I'll get you some water."

"Thank you, Uncle Bao."

Bao Guowei's study and bedroom.

"Brother, this fifth set of elementary school reading books has many basic words. If you look through it, how many can you recognize?"

Zhang Siwu took the book and flipped through it roughly.

"I don't know much about them, so I can't even guess what they mean by many sentences."

Bao Guowei was not surprised. Even a smart man like Zhang Siwu could not read well by relying on the uneducated old people around him.

"I'll teach you which words you don't know."

With a lit candle, the two of them sat at the desk together, flipping through the yellow paper books.

"This character is pronounced Bi (bi), this character is pronounced Ling (ling), this is Liu (Liu)..."

When Zhang Siwu was a child, he had a very good memory and was good at reading. It was a pity that he could not go to school due to family reasons.

The candles were almost burned out and the two of them were a little sleepy, so Zhang Siwu and Bao Guowei squeezed into bed together to sleep.

"You need to exercise before going to bed!"

"Brother, your body is the capital of happiness. Stop talking and sleep well."

In the morning, Bao Guowei woke up before 04:30.

"Why are your arms so numb?"

Bao Guowei saw that his arms were almost turning purple.

Zhang Siwu was such a nasty guy that he took up most of the bed by himself. If it wasn't enough, he even pressed his own arms under him.

Bao Guowei took out his almost non-existent arm and pushed Zhang Siwu, who was still sleeping, to shake him awake.

"Get up and take a shower together? Let's go to the bathhouse together. We worked all day yesterday and now our bodies are all greasy."

"Ah? Oh, wash, wash. I have to ask my dad for a change of clothes first."

"Then you go quickly."

"Well, I'll come back to you in a minute."

Zhang Siwu had strong self-control, did not stay in bed, and scratched his somewhat messy hair.He turned over, put on his shoes and went out resolutely.

"Suit, trousers, white shirt, tie, um, and leather shoes."

Bao Guowei took inventory of his clothes. Today, Bao Guowei had to take a bath and then go see Chu Ze.

When he came out, three meals were already placed on the dining table outside the bedroom. The meal was ready, and Lao Bao was sitting at the table.

Lao Bao became a little "wary" of Bao Guowei. Bao Guowei's schedule of leaving early and returning late made him very worried.

He knew that his son already had some abilities and was appreciated by even the big shots, but he always felt that Guowei was a child who had not grown up, and even worried about the safety of this young man who was already taller than many young people.

He also knew that he shouldn't interfere with Guowei's doing his own thing, but at least he should know what his son was going to do every day and not let himself worry too much.

"Guowei, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to Jiatian to stretch my muscles, and then I'll go to the bathhouse with Siwu for a bath later. Dad, do you want to come with us?"

"Forget it. It costs money to go to the bathhouse. You and Zhang Siwu can just go there. I can just wipe myself in the Qin Mansion and save some money for you to study."

Lao Bao was afraid of poverty. He was worried about Bao Guowei's school fees every day and always wanted to save some money.

In addition to not being able to mistreat Bao Guowei's food for tuition, Lao Bao would not spend anything else if he could.

"Oh, Dad, don't be so picky. By the way, I'm going to visit Chu Ze today. I won't be back at noon, so there's no need to cook for me."

Chu Ze said that he was traveling to Suzhou with his wife.

I said goodbye to Chu Ze the day before yesterday. I calculated the time and found that it was just right to go today. One day earlier would be too urgent and one day later would be too slow. Maybe others would forget about me.

As soon as Lao Bao heard about Chu Ze, a smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, okay! We must build up friendship with that Mr. Chu Ze. I heard that he graduated from that, or that bridge university."

"Cambridge University, England."

"Yes! Even the eldest young master, an international student from the UK, can't go. His family is probably even more powerful than Section Chief Gao. You have to make friends with him. Do you want me to go with you?"

Lao Bao's vision is still too small. In this era, only dignitaries or wealthy families can send people to study in Cambridge, England. What can a mere section chief of a certain subject in Suzhou City mean? "No, no, my friendship with him isn't that deep yet. Taking people to his house casually will make them feel unruly."

"Oh, okay, okay, I won't go, I won't go."

Lao Bao felt a little regretful: It would be great if he could talk to such a big shot. It would be better to gather all his friends together and let everyone watch him talking to the big shot.

In this way, people around you must take a high look at yourself.

Seeing through what Lao Bao was thinking, Bao Guowei shook his head.

"If you really don't want to take a shower, forget it. I'll just call Brother Four or Five. But there's really no need to save that little money. Taking a hot bath occasionally can moisturize your bones."

"Hey, you've packed your clothes. I'm going to pack some saponin bath towels and other things for you. By the way, I also hid a bag of milk for you. You can drink it while you're out on the [-]th or [-]th."

Lao Bao still didn't agree and changed the topic.

"Ah."

Bao Guowei didn't have to take Lao Bao to take a shower with him.

After a while.

"Guowei! Let's go?"

"Let's go."

The two walked together.

It was not yet five o'clock, the sky was still a little dark, and there were only a few people walking around.

Occasionally, you can see some soldiers carrying long guns patrolling.

The two of them had walked not long ago when they reached a fork in the road. Suddenly, several young men rushed towards them in a panic, as if running for their lives, and ran past the two of them.

Bao Guowei was still a little confused about what happened. Was it the thief who was caught stealing something or...

Suddenly, a force grabbed Bao Guowei's arm and took him running towards the street. It was Zhang Siwu.

The two of them were about to stand by the wall of the street. In an instant, more than a dozen people wearing black gowns rushed out from the intersection on the right, chasing after them silently with short knives in hand.

Bao Guowei couldn't recognize the first group of people, but at a glance, he could tell that the latter group of people were all wearing the Qinggang's standard robes!
The group of Green Gang members also saw the two of them and slowed down slightly.

A bloody dagger in the hand of one of them stabbed bright red into Bao Guowei's eyes through the faint light on the street.

Bao Guowei suddenly began to sweat on his back, and his heart began to beat violently.

Fortunately, both of them were not stupid people. They did not do anything stupid and ran away immediately. Instead, they stood up straight without saying a word, raising their heads and chests, exposing their frontal faces for the group of Green Gang people to distinguish.

The Green Gang members seemed to realize that the two men were not their targets, and they chased them down the street with all their strength.

If he had been standing there just now, would he have been hacked to death for blocking the road or being mistaken for an enemy?
He will definitely be hacked to death!

After receiving this answer, Bao Guowei's breathing became stagnant.

Chasing someone in the street?Gang fight?How come the Qinggang is so rampant that it openly chases and kills people on the street?What is the situation of the government soldiers on the street? Do you not care about them?
Bao Guowei looked at Zhang Siwu, and Zhang Siwu also looked at Bao Guowei.

Their eyes were facing each other, and their pupils were as narrow as pinholes. They could see the tension and fear in each other's eyes.

"Brother Four and Five, if it hadn't been for you just now, I might have been in danger. I'm very grateful for my life-saving grace."

Bao Guowei was the first to speak, presumably because his heartbeat was accelerating and his voice was a little unsteady.

"It's just a small effort, how can we say thank you between you and me?"

Zhang Siwu was calmer than Bao Guowei.

"It was just a gang fight, wasn't it? Why didn't the soldiers care about it?"

"I guess so. The Qing Gang is a new gang that came from Shanghai not long ago. As soon as they arrived, they took over the duties of guarding the docks on behalf of the government soldiers. They also usually competed with local gangs for territory and did some dirty business."

Zhang Siwu's voice was calmer than Bao Guowei's, and he said:
"The reason why he is so rampant now is probably because someone from above supports him or bribes the boss of the army."

"Damn it, no wonder the police acted like they didn't see it. Gusu is like this. The world is getting more and more chaotic. From now on, you can't go out until dawn."

Bao Guowei couldn't help but cursed, as if this could relieve his violently beating heartbeat.

Zhang Siwu didn't say anything. He looked at the soldier with a long spear hanging on his pole. He seemed to have not seen the previous scene and was puffing away leisurely.

He looked at the backs of the Qinggang people who were about to disappear, and there was some heat in their eyes.
