Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1508 Night Watch
Although he felt a little unwilling, Lin Ming still hurriedly turned around and walked back.He was very excited. Although he did not see Li Yongxun exactly and spoke the so-called "Australian Mandarin", her accent could not be changed. Lin Ming was [-]% sure that the person who spoke was his sister-in-law. !

He was both happy and worried, and he was happy that Li Yongxun was safe and sound. Since he was able to work for the Australians, he was safe and sound. Wives and concubines.Moreover, as a "captor", she must have considerable freedom of movement; the worry is that since she has surrendered, she is no different from "recognizing a thief as a father"-and she is still a lowly slave like a catcher!
Although military households are not of high background, the government servants are out-and-out "untouchables", and they are perceived in the same way as happy households in society.If news of my sister-in-law's work as an "Australian catcher" spread to Daming, wouldn't her parents die of shame and indignation!Even myself and my wife are also shameless.She should have been a catcher for a long time, but she didn't wait for the opportunity to escape, and she didn't come back with a letter. Obviously, she has been "demonized" by the Australians.

Lin Ming knew that the Australians were the best at seducing people's hearts. Once they fell under the "demon" of the Australians, even eight cows would not be able to pull them back.

It seems that the only way to understand it is to use reason and move it with emotion—especially family affection.Fortunately, she has a deep relationship with her wife and sisters, and there are parents and relatives in Nanjing, so she will not be too unfeeling.As long as she is convinced that she is willing to return to Foshan, it doesn't matter if she is soft or hard, and his burden will be relieved if she is handed over to her parents and family members.As for the "half ass" and other daydreams, Lin Ming had already thrown them out of the blue -- this Lingao was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to him, so there was no room for such fancy thoughts.

Lin Ming walked and thought, but he didn't realize that he made a wrong turn, and by the time he realized it, he had already arrived in an unfamiliar alley.

The alley is quiet. Although there are some famous shops here, they have already made prototypes early.There are no pedestrians on the street.Lin Ming knew that he had lost his way, but luckily the street lights in the alley were still bright and there were street signs, so he hurriedly found the map, searched by the lights, and quickly found his location.

When I saw the alley where I was, I realized that I had gone a long way.If you go back the same way, you have to walk a lot.Lin Ming saw that the Wenlan River was not far ahead, so he couldn't help but move - why not just go straight to the river, look at the terrain, and then go back by detour.

After making up his mind, he went straight along the alley.Lin Ming knew that this place was not a busy city, and there were mostly residential buildings along the street, so he could see the people's livelihood under the rule of the Kun bandits most.

Not only are there few pedestrians in the side roads and alleys, but Australian cars are also rare.However, no matter how deep and remote the alley is, there are street lights for lighting.Most of the streets are paved with stone slabs, and they are clean even at night. Not only is there no garbage, feces, and even stagnant water.Moreover, there must be a toilet at the entrance of the alley, and there is a public well platform in the middle of the alley, which is very convenient.

The town built by this gangster is really exquisite, no wonder so many people would rather shave their heads and change their clothes than cast their hair.He was admiring secretly, seeing that the shops and houses along the street had been closed, and there were few lights in the windows and doors, obviously most of them had gone to bed, thinking: This is the way to live and work in peace.If it really wants to be as lively as Dongmen City everywhere, it will feel abnormal.

While walking, suddenly there were footsteps on the street in front of him. Lin Ming took a closer look, and saw a group of "fake hairpins" in short jackets coming from the opposite side of the street.The leader was carrying a blue lantern. Lin Ming saw that they seemed to be "just doing the right thing", and wanted to hide in the alley next to them, but the street lights here were very bright, so hiding like this would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion.

Thinking of this, I had no choice but to go up to him as if nothing had happened, but fortunately he had a certificate on him, and there was nothing prohibited on him.

Sure enough, the patrol came in front of him and blocked his way.The leader of the policeman raised his right hand with five fingers together, raised it to his head, and at the same time snapped his feet together, roughly saluting, and said: "Night picketing. Check the documents."

How did Lin Ming find me with a secret cry?I was very nervous in my heart, but I tried my best to stabilize myself and not let this tension show.On the other side, he laughed along and handed over his ID card respectfully with both hands.The fake hair took it over and checked it carefully by the light of the street lamp.

"Lin Min...Temporary card? New here?" There was suspicion in the voice.The lantern was immediately brought up close to his face, presumably looking at his face.Lin Ming felt unnatural for a while.At this moment, he could already see that, except for the leader who was wearing the black clothes and hats of "police", the colors of the markings on the uniforms of the others were different, obviously not all for "being fair".It's just that everyone wears a red cuff on their arm and writes "Picket".

This is a night patrol. Unexpectedly, although there is no curfew here, the Kun thief is very cautious when patrolling the night.No wonder there are no watchmen and soldiers in the streets and alleys.

"Yes, I just came to Lingao three days ago..." Lin Ming hurriedly said, "Working at the Haixing Company." As he spoke, he quickly took out his "Employment Certificate"—it not only had the Haixing Company's stamp on it , as well as the seal of the employment agency and the seal of temporary household registration. Shopkeeper Qian said that this certificate is sometimes more useful than a temporary ID card.

He originally wanted to take out a few circulation coupons from his sleeve and stuff them together, but he didn't know what the "market" was like here.There is something particular about bribing public officials, and it is easy to make mistakes if you give more or less.Furthermore, he has also heard that Kun thieves are very strict under control, and most fake Kuns dare not accept bribes.

The leading policeman murmured a few times with the people next to him, and looked at his ID card over and over several times. He probably didn't see anything suspicious, and his face softened a little, and he returned the ID card.

"Where are you going?"

"Return to Haixing..." Lin Ming hurriedly said.

"You're going in the wrong direction." The fake policeman showed a suspicious expression again, "Going further down is the Wenlan River."

"The little one has been busy in the shop all day, so he went out for a walk to catch his breath... Turned to the river for a circle, then went back to sleep..."

What did the fake policeman want to say, but the other fake Kun next to him seemed to know where Lin Ming wanted to go, so he held back his laughter and said a few words in a low voice, and the fake policeman suddenly had a "suddenly enlightened" expression.Without further questioning, he enjoined:
"Recently, the law and order at night is not very good. There have been robberies and injuries. You must be careful when walking alone." The police said, "Don't go out when it's too late at night."

"Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me, Lord."

Lin Ming's back was already sweating. He didn't know that fake girl, and he didn't know what the other party said before he stopped asking.But at this moment, he didn't want to think too much, and hurried forward, only to hear the footsteps behind him gradually going away, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.

After a short walk, the alley has reached the end, but in front of it is a raised stone embankment, the height of which is similar to the city wall, and it is all built of stones.Various flowers and trees are planted beside the road under the embankment, and there are benches for people to sit and relax, which is very quiet.

Lin Ming knew that this was probably by the Wenlan River.He saw that there was a ladder to climb the embankment, so he went up.

Stepping on the embankment, a gust of breeze blows, can't help but feel relaxed and happy, and the heart is widened.Looking far away, I can see that Dongmen City is brightly lit, as bright as the Milky Way.On both sides of the river bank, lights can be seen everywhere. The street lights on the embankment are reflected on the surface of the river, and ripples like fish scales appear in the night wind... This night scene has never been seen by Lin Ming before. It is the city of Guangzhou during the Lantern Festival. There are no such bright lights.

"It's really a night scene with millions of silver!" Lin Ming couldn't help feeling an inexplicable sense of happiness in his heart. He just stared blankly at the little sister-in-law, Daming, and the thief... completely forgotten, and only after a while did he turn his eyes. I took it back.

He reluctantly walked along the river embankment. There were also patrolling personnel on the river embankment. With the experience just now, Lin Ming responded very calmly, and the journey was smooth and unimpeded.As he was walking, he suddenly heard another burst of human voices in front of him, vaguely mixed with silk and bamboo playing and women's singing.Unconsciously, this is already the edge of Dongmen City. The map is full of side roads and narrow alleys. How can there be such a lively place?

Fortunately, this is also where he turned back.Lin Ming got down from the embankment and followed the sound along the road.Not far away, there is a square gate building on the side of the road, with three big characters "Heyuan Street" inlaid on the lintel.There are two pink palace lanterns hanging at the entrance of the gate. They are not used for lighting under the street lamps, but add a bit of color to them.

Sizhu and the woman's laughter became clearer here.Lin Ming was taken aback, what is this place?Walking to the intersection, there is a short alley inside, the road is not wide, and there are small buildings on both sides - no different from other streets and alleys.

However, there are pink lanterns hanging at the door of every house here, and the whole street is shrouded in pink.There are no pedestrians on the street, and the silk, bamboo and human voices come from every house.

What kind of person Lin Ming was, he understood in a moment: this is Lingao's Xingyuan Street!No wonder the patrolling thieves had that look on their faces: the route they were going to go was originally going to pass through here.They must have thought that they were here to buy spring for pleasure.

Lin Ming secretly smiled wryly. If it was in the past, he wouldn't have cared about opening up this "sweet meat" and getting a taste of this "Australian secret show"—according to the claim of someone who claimed to have tried it: "It's unheard of in the world." Love and enjoy".But now he is burdened with important responsibilities, and there are no big merchants around him who pay the bills for him.As for the few circulation coupons around me, I still have to insist on paying the salary next month.

Thinking of this, Lin Baihu had no choice but to walk past the gate of the workshop in dejection.He quickened his pace, walked all the way back, and soon returned to the Haixing.Back in the backyard, I saw that Wang Xinglong had already returned, and he was happily talking about Dongmen City with his colleagues.
