Chapter 1188 Ant Nest(2/2)
"okay!"
As he spoke, Guan Bingwen directly lifted the chicken cage to the base of the wall, then pushed the bicycle he rode over last night and said, "Mama Yang, brother Wei Ran, I won't stay much longer, I have to go back to class.
"
"Go on, go on, take your time on the road."
Yang Ma enthusiastically asked, waiting until the other party was far away, and then looked at the cage of old hens in the corner with a frown, "What can we do? If Xiao Su's mother sees this, she will definitely scold her again.
I."
"Isn't it enough to stew one for her then?"
As Wei Ran spoke, he re-bolted the courtyard door, then got into the cab of the car and backed it into the garage.
While reversing the car, he also noticed that the long cloth rolls in the back compartment were gone, replaced by the food box that was delivered to Teacher Huang's office yesterday.
When he stopped the car, Jasmine also walked into the garage. She opened the rear door as expected and took out the food box.
"Hold it for me"
As Jasmine spoke, she handed the lid of the food box to Wei Ran who had just come out of the car, then took out the silver dollar sealed in a long tube and put it into her pocket.
"Aren't you curious?" Jasmine asked proactively when she saw Wei Ran following behind with the lid of a food box and busy lighting a cigarette.

Wei Ran puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "My job is to protect my cousin, even though she doesn't take me with her when she goes out for fun now."
Hearing this, Jasmine smiled, took out another khaki envelope from the lower layer of the food box, folded it and put it in her pocket, and then said, "Remember to send Canhua to Xiao Su's mother before two o'clock, but it's very important."
Don’t make a mistake.”
"we have a deal?"
"It's agreed." As Jasmine spoke, she handed the food box to Yang's mother who happened to come into the house, and then ran up the stairs.
Aren't the beautiful cousin and the enchantress-like Miss Andy upstairs?
Wei Ran glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor in confusion, and then went into his room with an indifferent expression.
This morning, except for the disturbing Guan Bingwen and the hens that kept clucking and clucking, it was quite peaceful.
When the sun reached half the top of his head, Cao Yuba got up early as usual and started cleaning the yard and scrubbing the car. After Wei Ran fed the noisy big parrot, he carried a big watering can and started pouring water around the small building.
Flowers and the work of watering the flowerbeds covered with sack sheets.
After spending the somewhat boring morning in a particularly leisurely manner, Wei Ran also drove a car and took Tao Canhua, who was carrying a piano bag and carrying an erhu, to the opium den on the edge of the Japanese Concession.
However, what made Wei Ran frown was that in just one day, the Japanese Concession, which was only a street away, was under martial law!
"Brother Weiran, what...what should I do?" Tao Canhua asked in the back car, feeling rather restless.
"first"
Wei Ran stopped the car, raised the window, slowly put a holder on a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He lowered his voice and reminded, "You can't call me Brother Wei Ran, you have to call me cousin."
"Cousin...cousin"
Tao Canhua shouted in embarrassment. He had discovered that he was the youngest in the entire Love Letters Apartment. Even Qiushi, who was almost a year younger than him, asked him to call her aunt.
"Secondly"
Wei Ran turned around and said with a smile, "Cousin Canhua, you have to remember that as long as you play well today and satisfy Mr. Ueda, even if you can't walk around in the Japanese Concession in the future, at least no one will dare to bully you.
"
"I... what if Ueda is dissatisfied?" Canhua asked anxiously.
"That's his problem. It's none of our business. It's up to us whether we want to hear it or not."
Wei Ran said, taking out a piece of ocean from his pocket and handing it to the other party, "Remember, if the other party asks how many oceans I gave you, you can bite them off and say it's just one piece."
"Why...Why? Aunt...Didn't Jasmine say two yuan a day?"
After Tao Canhua finished speaking, he quickly waved his hand, "I don't want another piece, I'm afraid that the Japanese will ask, and I'm worried that he will blame you."
"No, this is for your own good."
Wei Ran smiled and said, "I can't explain it to you in detail, but he will definitely give you more than two oceans today. Do you know what to do?"
"I know, I know." Tao Canhua nodded hurriedly, "There are two yuan in total, one is mine and the other is the gas money for the round trip."
"That's okay. Get out of the car. Just listen to us and we'll make sure you're fine."
Wei Ran said, already pushing open the car door, taking out the lighter and lighting the cigarette in his mouth.
When Tao Canhua got out of the car cautiously but accidentally knocked his head, the expression on Wei Ran's face became more and more satisfied. Whether this Tao Canhua was really afraid or pretending to be afraid, he was
Very confusing.
Deliberately giving the young man a cigarette to calm down, Wei Ran led him and knocked on the door of the small building where Xiao Su's mother lived. He nodded and bowed and sent Tao Canhua inside.
"Go, buy a pack of cigarettes for me and come back." Xiao Su's mother said bossily to Wei Ran.
"But... Xiao Su's mother, you are not allowed to enter the concession next to it." Wei Ran said with a embarrassed look on his face.
"This Jinmen doesn't just have one concession, nor does it only sell cigarettes in the concession next to it." Xiao Su's mother rolled her eyes, "Go back quickly, why are you still waiting for me to give you money?"
"I...I'll go right away."
Wei Ran responded quickly, and after the old lady closed the door, she didn't forget to spit on the roadside, then got into the car and drove straight to the direction of Quanyechang.
He found the young man selling cigarettes and bought a pack of Fairy brand cigarettes. He also bought a pack of Camel brand cigarettes to complete the task. Then he slowly drove back to the opium shop and knocked on the bell.
He walked through the door of the small building next door, and amid the melodious guqin music, he respectfully handed all the cigarettes he bought and the pack of matches to the old lady.
“Waiting outside”
The old woman in kimono whispered a rather contemptuous instruction, and then closed the door.
Seeing this, Wei Ran spat again, then got into the car on the side of the road, lowered the window and lit a cigarette with the front door sign. While waiting for Tao Canhua to finish his work, he also looked at the people not far away.
The Japanese Concession is closed to entry and exit.
In fact, there is no need to go in. Just looking at the Japanese expatriates patrolling the concession with guns on their shoulders, you know that this war is inevitable, and both sides who are about to fight are already making various preparations.
The opium den on the roadside guarding the Japanese Concession, but not within the scope of the Japanese Concession, was really a good place to communicate with the outside world and collect intelligence at any time, and to retreat into the Japanese Concession to avoid the war at any time.
While he was observing the terrain outside, in the small building next to the opium den, Tao Canhua was playing the guqin and answering questions raised by Ueda.
According to this devil, as long as he plays the music continuously and without mistakes, he can get a piece of ocean for every question he answers.
This was undoubtedly a very attractive price, so much so that even Xiao Su’s mother, who was hiding on the second floor, was worried about it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fortunately, for Tao Canhua, although the piano skills he practiced since he was a child are far less impressive than the Guangling San played by Wei Ran in the basement, the muscle memory he has already formed is quite good.
It wouldn't distract him too much. What's more, Jasmine spent the whole afternoon yesterday helping him familiarize himself with the way to deal with problems.
Just when this guqin song was about to end, the Japs named Ueda asked, "The young man who sent you here, did he tell you the price of coming here to play for me?"
"I've said it"
Tao Canhua's nervous face showed a hint of happiness and gratitude, "Cousin Wei Ran said that if he comes to play for Mr. Zhida every day, he can get two dollars, but one of them is the gas money for the round trip."
"You see, Chinese people are so greedy."
Ueda threw a silver dollar at Tao Canhua's feet and at the same time switched to Japanese and spoke to Guizi Furukawa sitting on the other side of the chess table. There was only a strong sense of ridicule in his tone.
"Greed is good"
The thin Japs named Furukawa muttered vaguely, and at the same time he dropped a white piece on the chessboard. He lowered his voice slightly and asked, "Aren't you going to bribe that Chinese guy waiting outside?"
"Let's find someone else," Ueda said in a low voice. "It will be more credible if the two people's information is verified by each other."
"But what's the use of that woman's information?" Furukawa asked puzzledly.
"Of course she is useless"
Ueda smiled and explained at the same time, "But a narcissist is easier to control and bribe than those famous actresses, right? Furukawa-kun, those beautiful narcissists are the symbol of prosperity through singing and dancing."
"Are you going to support that lonely girl?" Furukawa asked with raised eyebrows.
"She can only be considered a breakthrough at best."
Ueda replied with a smile, "Chinese people have a saying that a thousand-mile embankment breaks in an ant nest. Furukawa-kun, to the Chinese people, the opium den you run is an ant nest."
