Double Agent Saga

249. A cappella

At that time, Zuo Shaoqing was not well received by Ye Gongjin in the Intelligence Bureau.With the rank of colonel, it is not easy for her to get this "overcoming difficulty" room.This house has a thatched roof and fence walls, and it's just plastered with mud inside and out, and the big small family doesn't see the sun all day long.The original military dependents' village was composed of several such "overcoming difficulties".There is no furniture in the house at all.The logistics department only gave her a bed board and two stools.The rest of the furniture was broken furniture collected by Ye Gongjin for her.The kitchen and toilets are shared and dirty.

Ye Gongjin looked and looked at this broken house, and finally said: "Shaoqing, you might as well live with me."

Zuo Shaoqing glared at him, "Don't play tricks on me."

Ye Gongjin shook her hand at her, "I don't mean that in the current situation. How about you stay with me during the day and come back here at night to sleep."

Zuo Shaoqing thought about it, and this was the only way to do it. [

In this way, the two people in distress had nothing to do, and sat in Ye Gongjin's "apartment" all day long in a daze.

One day, Ye Gongjin was too bored to chat, so she said: "Shaoqing, it's too boring, you can sing a paragraph."

Zuo Shaoqing shook his head and sneered, "There is still that spirit. Besides, there is not even an accompaniment."

Ye Gongjin didn't speak any more.But after some days, Ye Gongjin suddenly became mysterious and went out every morning and only came back at night.Zuo Shaoqing sat alone in his home, and didn't bother to ask him.

Suddenly one day, Ye Gongjin and Zuo Shaoqing had lunch together.He saw Zuo Shaoqing carrying the dishes into the kitchen, so he scooped up a broken enamel jar and went into the kitchen.

Zuo Shaoqing looked into his jar, there was a lot of tea in it, and he couldn't help but glance at him.

Ye Gongjin smiled and said: "Shaoqing, this is for you. After lunch, you tend to get sleepy. Drinking a cup of strong tea can refresh you. Besides, I want to hear you sing a play." After finishing speaking, she rushed Tea, right out of the kitchen.

Zuo Shaoqing was washing the dishes, looking back at his back from time to time.In that instant, there was a resounding bang in the living room outside, and the sound of Jinghu resounded.The bowl in Zuo Shaoqing's hand almost fell to the ground.Suddenly, the exciting sound of the piano brought her back to the small stage in the countryside 20 years ago.The sound of the piano is Yiyi, the gongs and drums are clanging, and when the water sleeves are turned up, the eyebrows and eyes are twitching.

Zuo Shaoqing came out of the kitchen and stood at the door, looking at Ye Gongjin in surprise.

Ye Gongjin shook her wrist and twisted a bow thousands of times.

Zuo Shaoqing found out later that he had learned Erhu in middle school, although he was not proficient, he had laid a good foundation.He leaves early and returns to study Jinghu every day, and sits with his teacher for a whole day.

Ye Gongjin stopped the piano in her hand, stared deeply at Zuo Shaoqing's face.He turned the porcelain mug on the table to Zuo Shaoqing, and said, "Shaoqing, please have a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

Zuo Shaoqing picked up the tea mug, and before he could drink it, he heard Ye Gongjin's piano sounding again.The past events in the memory floated to the eyes in an instant.Back then, Ye Gongjin chose her younger sister in the special training class in Beiping, and the younger sister invited Ye Gongjin to watch a play, and what she watched was "Sack of Scales".Later, when Ye Gongjin angrily reprimanded Zuo Shaoqing on the way back to Changsha from Nanjiao, he also mentioned this past incident.

Zuo Shaoqing put down the teacup slowly, and put the index fingers of both hands together, a ray of tenderness in his heart rushed straight to his throat.She let out a soft cry of "Yeah", and sang casually, which was a passage of "Sipi Yuanban" in "Skin Scales":

"The beautiful scenery of the day suddenly changed..."

Before finishing a sentence, there was a sudden "bang bang" knock on the door outside, as if a disaster had happened.

Outside the door, a rough voice shouted: "Gongjin, open the door, which station are you listening to? Why can't I get it in my box? Quickly, open the door!"

Zuo Shaoqing withdrew his momentum and walked to the door.

Standing outside the door was Li Bolian, the retired deputy director of the Military Industry Administration.He has long since lost his job, and his white hair and beard on his lips are all in a mess.He was wearing a pair of big trousers underneath, and an old man with a round collar on top, and was shaking a cattail fan in his hand. [

He stared blankly at Ye Gongjin who was holding the piano, and then at Zuo Shaoqing beside him, "You guys are..."

Ye Gongjin smiled and said, "Mr. Lian, Shaoqing is singing a cappella, and I play the piano. If Mr. Lian wants to listen, please sit down."

Li Bolian quickly said: "Okay, okay, let me listen to it. It turns out that Shaoqing can sing a few lines."

Ye Gongjin didn't speak any more, she regained her energy, and played a passage loud and clear.

However, Li Bolian waved his hands again and again to stop Ye Gongjin's piano sound, cupped his fists with some excitement and said: "Gongjin, you play the piano, and Shaoqing sings a cappella. I am really disrespectful, really disrespectful. Please bear with me." I'll change a dress back, okay"

Ye Gongjin smiled at him and nodded.Unexpectedly, Li Bolian did this for half an hour.When he came in again, both Ye Gongjin and Zuo Shaoqing were sexually shocked.

Li Bolian had already changed into an old suit with creases, and the old leather shoes on his feet were also polished brightly.Although there is no tie, the neckline is tightly buttoned.Following him is his wife.This shrew-like woman with curly hair, a pair of flowered pajama pants, a pair of clogs on her feet, and a screaming voice now has her curly hair neatly combed and is wearing a pair of folded clothes. The floral cheongsam with scars, holding a small sandalwood folding fan in his hand, is as elegant and dignified as a lady.Behind them were three children lined up, the hair on their foreheads was obviously combed with a comb dipped in water.

Li Bolian smiled shyly, "Gongjin, it's better if I'm like this. You must come too, so I'll bring the three children along, and I beg Gongjin and Shaoqing not to see outsiders."

The couple sat side by side on chairs, with their backs straight.The three children sat in a row on small stools.

Li Bolian said with a smile: "Gongjin, I'm tired. Please, please."

When Ye Gongjin's piano sounded again, Zuo Shaoqing also recalled all the scenes with his sister before, feeling a little sad in his heart.Her sorrow was soft and tactful, and she sang softly:

"The beautiful scenery of the day suddenly changed,

In an instant, the sun was pale as if falling to the west mountain.

In the sedan chair, I only feel that the sky is dim and the earth is dark,

The ear can hear the sound of the wind, the rain, the thunder, and the music.

People shouted, everyone said yes, and the rain poured down..."

When Zuo Shaoqing looked intently, he saw Li Bolian and his wife, their eyes were blurred, their faces were full of tears, and their lips were trembling.The three children in front of them all stared wide-eyed, staring at her stupidly.Zuo Shaoqing sighed sadly in his heart, his voice was tight, and he couldn't sing anymore.

That night, Ye Gongjin and Zuo Shaoqing sat face to face at a square table, with tea in a broken porcelain mug and a pack of cheap cigarettes in front of them.They looked at each other with complicated and naive expressions in their eyes.

Ye Gongjin smoked a cigarette and said softly: "Shaoqing, you sing so well, what a great one, people shouted, and they all said that it was raining heavily. Isn't it just raining heavily? The world of the party and state disappeared in a blink of an eye. It's your world now. Shaoqing, I would like to ask you a word, do you... have someone contact you?"

Zuo Shaoqing kept staring at him, also judging what he meant.

Ye Gongjin smiled, with cunning in her eyes, "Shaoqing, please don't misunderstand me. I am already like this, and there is no other meaning. It's just...just asking casually."

Zuo Shaoqing was sad and leisurely, and couldn't help sighing, "Don't ask this again. No one will contact me." [

Ye Gongjin paused for a while, then said lightly: "If no one contacts you, then no one will contact you. If no one contacts you, I will feel better. But... there is such a thing, I don't know what you think about it"

Zuo Shaoqing looked at him suspiciously, "What is it?"

Ye Gongjin's eyes sparkled, "I heard that Mr. Metz came to Taipei and stayed at the Binshan Hotel."

Zuo Shaoqing couldn't help but smile slightly.This Ye Gongjin is really terminally ill.In Nanchang, when they boarded Yu Zhidao's transport plane, he said such words.He wanted to take Zuo Shaoqing with him. Apart from Zuo Shaoqing's ability to help him get a boarding pass, one very important reason was that he hoped to keep in touch with Mr. Metz through Zuo Shaoqing.He hopes that Mr. Mace can help him advance in his career.Now, in such a situation, he brought up the matter again.Zuo Shaoqing really didn't expect that Ye Gongjin's obsession with officials had reached such a point.

However, Zuo Shaoqing looked back and thought about it, and felt that he was really pitiful.Doing things every day, looking at other people's cold eyes, has no chance of turning over.Maybe, his situation is better, and his own situation will be better.

Zuo Shaoqing lit a cigarette and said softly, "Gongjin, let me try it."

Ye Gongjin immediately showed a smile all over his face.

For the next two days, Zuo Shaoqing put on makeup and secretly observed around the Binshan Hotel.President Jiang and Mao Renfeng have always been very wary of Americans, and the Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of National Defense will definitely monitor people like Metz closely. It is very difficult for her to meet Metz.

At three o'clock in the morning, Zuo Shaoqing descended from the roof to Metz's balcony, and climbed into his bedroom from the door.The sudden appearance of the black shadow startled the sleeping Mace.He almost thought someone was going to kill him.

He looked at Zuo Shaoqing in astonishment, with a look of complete disbelief.

"You're actually in Taipei?" Metz asked softly.

"Yes. Where's Mr. Metz?" Zuo Shaoqing sat down at the table and carefully examined him.

"what do you wish to ask"

"When did Mr. Mays leave Nanjing?"

"Me, I left Nanjing with Mr. Situ in August [-]."

Zuo Shaoqing felt a little sad, "At that time, I had already arrived in Taiwan with Ye Gongjin."

Mace poured her a small glass of wine and put it in front of her, "Why do you have a mission here?"

Zuo Shaoqing shook his head, "There is no mission. I came here just to find out my sister's whereabouts. So, I had to follow Ye Gongjin. I don't know if he lied to me, he said he knew my sister's whereabouts."

Mace laughed lightly, "Ye Gongjin, I heard that he's not well."

"Yes, it's very bad. Now he's completely memorized, and there's no hope at all."

"What does he want to do"

"I'm here tonight, that's what he meant. He wants to know if you can help him get back to work."

"Young team leader, unexpectedly, you will help him"

"Mr. Mays, we are grasshoppers in a line now. If he can be better, I will be better."

"I understand. Shaoqing, tell Mr. Ye that there is no other way now, he can only wait."
