Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 350 Leaving Tianjin! Seeing an old friend again?
Bao Guowei hates separation, especially in this era.

So he and Cao Yanhai got up early, left the Yongli factory early, and went to Tianjin Railway Station to catch the train.

While riding in a rickshaw, Cao Yanhai yawned continuously while still looking around vigilantly.

The incident with the Japanese female spy last time still haunted him.

He even felt suspicious when he saw a girl begging on the street.

On a summer morning, the sun shines through the mist in the air of Tianjin city and falls on the streets and alleys.

As soon as the sky was getting light, vendors on the streets of Tianjin had already set up their stalls, and the aroma of fresh vegetables and breakfast filled the air.

In some teahouses, old tea drinkers sit down early, order some morning tea and light up cigarettes.

The aroma of tea and smoke intertwined in the air, and trains shuttling between towns whizzed past with the sound of whistles.

The ancient city of Tianjin exudes a unique flavor that makes people linger.

Even Cao Yanhai became a little tired after a long time, and felt that there was no such thing as a female spy.
He was holding a huge fried dough stick in his hand. From time to time, he would look at some street fighters on the rickshaw. When he saw some real kung fu masters, Cao Yanhai would even shout out "good".

But this scene did not last long. When we were about to leave the city, the scenery began to slowly change.

Even in the prosperous city of Tianjin, there are slums in this era.

"Sir, please be kind and give me some money for dinner!"

"Master, I haven't eaten for many days. I'm almost starving to death."

"Give me a bun, I can do anything with a bun!"

"Go away, go away! You have disturbed my distinguished guest. I will break your legs."

Under the rickshaw driver's scolding, the people around him finally made way for him.

Cao Yanhai also looked at the people around him vigilantly. These people's eyes were hungry and full of desire.

He could also sense that there were some unfriendly looks hidden among these people.

As long as they show the slightest sign of weakness, someone might rush over and snatch all the food from them.

Gradually moving away from the crowd, Bao Guowei squinted his eyes and looked at all this.

Normally speaking, there would not be so many beggars in Tianjin City in the past. However, with the outbreak of the Central Plains War, countless people in the war zone were displaced, and soldiers, bandits, droughts and floods plagued them, each of which could take the life of an ordinary person.

There must have been some donations from the city of Tianjin, but this little donation was just a drop in the bucket for these refugees.

The prosperity of the people will be miserable, and the destruction of the people will be miserable.

Since ancient times, the success or failure of kings and dukes, and of ministers, have all been built on the corpses of ordinary people.

War, for ordinary people, is almost a disaster.

Bao Guowei clenched his fists, and the doubts and confusion in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Keep going down this path became his only goal.

As they approached the train station, the situation became increasingly complicated with many people around them. Cao Yanhai also became extremely alert and did not let any suspicious people approach him.

When the car gradually slowed down, Cao Yanhai's eyes fixed and he stared at a barefoot little beggar who was rushing towards him and said.

"Don't come over here, your legs don't look like a Chinese!"

Ever since Bao Guowei mentioned the female spy last time, Cao Yanhai has had some stress reaction whenever he sees a woman. Even though the person in front of him was a little girl, he stopped the other person from approaching.

Cao Yanhai was still very compassionate, but after seeing some ferocious refugees in the slums before, especially after they tore his clothes, he lost his good impression of these people.

Nowadays, anyone who can still make a living is not a good person.

So I was full of doubts about this little girl.

The little beggar stood there, not knowing whether to leave or stay. Just as she was hesitating, Bao Guowei waved his hand and asked the rickshaw driver to stop.

He took out a few buns from his arms, handed them to the skinny girl and said.

"Take it and eat it."

"Master, be careful. This guy looks like a Japanese when he walks."

Cao Yanhai was a straightforward person. Seeing that the other person had bow legs, he thought he was undoubtedly a Japanese.

Bao Guowei said somewhat speechlessly.

"She is malnourished. When have you ever seen a Japanese person so skinny that she is just a bag of bones?"

Even if she is a Japanese spy, she should be like Nanzō Yūko, who appears weak but is actually very skilled.

This skinny little girl really poses no threat.

After thinking about it, it makes some sense.

"I'm sorry." Cao Yanhai shrank his head guiltily.

But surprisingly, the hungry little girl did not take the bun.

She gulped and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

It took a lot of willpower to move my gaze away from it.

Hunger had made her unable to speak, and her voice was so weak and tinny.

"I don't want this sir. Do you want me? I'm very cheap. I only need one silver dollar. I can do anything. I really need money."

The girl, who still looks very young, sells herself on the street without any hesitation, just to provide food for her family.

Bao Guowei remained silent, and Cao Yanhai couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade Bao Guowei to take him in.

But Bao Guowei still didn't soften his heart. He took out his notebook, left an address for the girl and said.

"Go to this address and find Mr. Hou. He will arrange a job for you."

"This"

The girl looked timid, and kept asking questions until Bao Guowei left.

"Kind sir, are you really unwilling to take me in? I will..."

She wanted to show off her figure, but even after eating a few bites of the buns, she still couldn't move like the ladies in the dance hall.

But in the end, I only saw the backs of Bao Guowei and his companions as they left.

The girl stared at the piece of paper in her hand, looking at the address on it in a daze. If it weren't for the unexpected changes in her family and her parents being seriously ill, the girl would not have resorted to such a desperate measure in order to take care of them.

She didn't understand what the well-dressed gentleman meant.

But the girl probably doesn't have any hope. In this day and age, how great a favor does it take to get a job?
But she decided to give it a try anyway.

What the girl didn't know was that this little episode in her life changed her entire life.

The foggy industrial city of Tianjin looked even darker in the early morning, with a drizzle falling from the sky.

On the way, Cao Yanhai couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect that even in the prosperous city of Tianjin, there are such miserable people."

"Nowadays, there are miserable people everywhere. The war in the Central Plains is fierce, and more and more people are fleeing. It is not easy to come to Tianjin."

Bao Guowei said lightly, and the joy of completing the task gradually dissipated.

There were not many passengers at Tianjin Railway Station in the morning. The two paid the money and took their luggage and walked inside.

Just as I reached the door, I heard a timid girl's voice again.

"Mr. Mingcheng! Help me!"

Bao Guowei frowned, but Cao Yanhai stared at her with his eyes wide open, because the girl in front of him, with tears in her eyes, was so charming.

He couldn't help but pull Bao Guowei and said.

"Master, we must not be cruel this time. If we don't help such a beautiful girl, she will definitely fall into the hands of the murderer!" She was already very worried about the girl in front.

Cao Yanhai still has a chivalrous heart and calls himself a great hero, but when he sees what happened to these people, he feels powerless to do anything and can't help but feel very frustrated.

No matter what, he had to ask Bao Guowei to rescue the girl in front of him.

But Bao Guowei was stunned for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person, who was wearing an ordinary student uniform and had a few smears of dust on her face, but it still couldn't hide her original natural beauty.

He looked at the other party warily and said.

"Student Liao Yaquan, why are you here?"

The moment he saw Liao Yaquan, Bao Guowei's heart was filled with turmoil. He stared at her face imperceptibly, as if he wanted to see through her.

Liao Yaquan tearfully narrated her experiences along the way, looking so pitiful that she almost leaned on Bao Guowei.

When Cao Yanhai saw this scene, he felt so heartbroken!
"Mr. Bingwen, just after you left, I received a letter from home saying that my only relative, my distant aunt, was seriously ill, but I encountered robbers on the way."

Bao Guowei admired the other party's ability to make up stories, which did not seem made up at all.

These stories, such as encountering robbers on the road and escaping with great difficulty, would not be believed by any elementary school student in later generations.

But now is the Republic of China period, and there are not so many film and television works to influence this era.

In short, people are less knowledgeable and more easily deceived.

Therefore, Liao Yaquan's lies seemed reasonable to others, as there were always many robbers on the roads during the Republic of China period.

But in Bao Guowei's eyes, such an argument is full of loopholes.

In particular, when Bao Guowei left Suzhou, he was still cautious and revealed a flaw in front of Liao Yaquan.

Unexpectedly, she couldn't help but take the bait.

Everything happened too coincidentally. Bao Guowei was preparing to come to Tianjin, and then the other party appeared in Tianjin.

Bao Guowei didn't know what the other party's purpose was, but now was not the time to expose it, so Bao Guowei said comfortingly.

"Miss Liao, don't panic. Now that you've met us, everything will be fine. I'm going back to Gusu, so you can come with me!"

Cao Yanhai then recognized that this was Liao Yaquan from his time in Suzhou.

He had only met her a few times, no wonder he didn't recognize her.

When Cao Yanhai saw such a beautiful girl, his neck turned red like a flamingo, and he said while scratching his head.

"Yes, yes! Miss Liao will not be bullied by others if she meets us. Come on the road with us."

There were still tears in Liao Yaquan's eyes as he raised his head and glanced at Bao Guowei.

Anyone else would really not be able to stand such a timid look.

But he is Bao Guowei!

Buying a ticket was a simple matter, and the few of them quickly reached the platform and prepared to get on the train.

The platforms of this era were still open, and many small vendors were able to come in.

Bao Guowei saw oranges being sold not far away, and resisted the urge to buy oranges for the other two, and instead asked about the situation of Liao Yaquan's distant cousin.

She had obviously prepared in advance, and her answer was almost perfect.

"My cousin's aunt passed away, and the elderly in the village took good care of her and helped me deal with my afterlife. My hometown is deep in the mountains and forests, so it may not be easy to visit it in the future."

This explanation was perfect. It was obviously impossible for Bao Guowei to run to the deep mountains and forests of Qi and Lu to look for a village that he didn't even know existed just because of two sentences.

But Cao Yanhai, who was unaware of the situation, was deeply moved by the other party. After getting in the car, he was still wiping away tears.

"Miss Liao, this is too tragic. You are a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty. You should repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude. I am so sad, Miss Liao."

Cao Yanhai was indeed "hit", but Bao Guowei did not seem moved, no matter how hard Liao Yaquan tried.

Bao Guowei is like a pervert trapped inside a sculpture.

The eyes were indeed rolling around, but the body was still clearly separated.

However, Liao Yaquan was a little annoyed by Cao Yanhai's constant talking.

It would take another two or three days to get to Suzhou. If Bao Guowei stayed in Tianjin for a long time, it would probably take him nearly half a month to get back to Suzhou.

This is also the reason why Bao Guowei was in a hurry to leave. Otherwise, Tianjin still had many important matters to deal with.

The trains of this era were like this, stopping and starting along the way, and had to stop at some stations for repairs from time to time.

Liao Yaquan was very good at maintaining his energy, and he held it in for the entire journey, which lasted for nearly two days.

Liao Yaquan saw that Bao Guowei was not moved by her beauty at all and only glanced at her twice each time.

There was no intention of allowing her to have an "in-depth" communication or become confused and infatuated again.

When they were only one day away from Gusu, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Taking advantage of the time when she got off the bus to buy something, she inadvertently brought up the topic of the trip to Tianjin.

In fact, people who are familiar with Bao Guowei know that he is not the living Pan An and cannot remain calm in the face of temptation.

Besides, Bao Guowei is familiar with his own personality.

When he was in Shanghai, he often went to the foreign concessions to listen to music, but his pursuit of pleasure was never lascivious.

I have never done anything to let Zhang Nianyue down.

It is rumored that he is a playboy who is both talented and lustful.

With Liao Yaquan's methods, it is impossible that he didn't know the true situation of Bao Guowei.

If it fell immediately, it would seem a bit strange.

Bao Guowei's current principle is to stabilize the other party first, and perhaps there will be an unexpected surprise.

After thinking about it, Bao Guowei replied with a smile.

"It's nothing big, just setting up some businesses. You know, I will definitely go to the north later, so it's always good to keep some skills."

"That's it"

Liao Yaquan bit her teeth lightly, thinking that Bao Guowei was really difficult to deal with and would not speak no matter what.

But this is in line with her expectations. If Bao Guowei could be defeated easily, he would not be Bao Guowei anymore.

As he was walking, Liao Yaquan suddenly saw someone selling rice wine on the roadside.

I couldn't help but come up with an idea.

During the day, Cao Yanhai was always disturbing us, and at night, the carriage was completely dark.

After thinking about it, Liao Yaquan became a little excited. She found an excuse and secretly went over to buy two jars of rice wine and some snacks.

After buying all these, her whole mood seemed to drop.

His face seemed worried.

There is also anxiety in the eyes.

When Bao Guowei saw this situation, he immediately understood.

Come on, this Japanese woman is going to make another move.

If you didn't know that the other party was a Japanese spy, you might think that Liao Yaquan had something on his mind.

But when the cards are exposed, all the opponent's actions can be seen clearly.

Bao Guowei was preparing a plan in his mind, thinking about how to deal with Liao Yaquan in the evening.
