In this year's Shanghai, there is no atmosphere in the new year.
There is a paper red lantern hanging at the gate of the lane. It is blown by the cold wind and tastes like water.
Gunfire blocked the traffic, Gu Zhen only received a telegram from her mother.
Her mother and sister thought she was in Yuecheng.
The mother said in the telegram, "the situation is too chaotic. If there is a war in Yuecheng, I will go back to my hometown. The key is in the fourth uncle's house."
Fourth uncle is her stepfather's uncle. He and fourth aunt are very good to Gu Zhen's mother and daughter.
Gu Xu sent a telegram to her classmate and asked her classmate to call her back with two words: "I know."
She didn't feel like she was there yet.
The Chinese New Year's newspaper office takes five days off and goes to work on the fourth day of the lunar new year.
Gu Xu got her first salary at the beginning of the new year, and she wanted to buy rice. The rice at home was at the bottom. She usually went back to cook by herself in the evening.
"We have to buy rice as soon as possible. The price of rice is not the same as it was a year ago. It is estimated that it will go up even more." Colleagues said.
Gu Zhen was in a panic.
That day after work, it was raining outside. It rained heavily, it was bitterly cold, and there was a wind.
Her clothes were wet by the rain, thinking about the bad weather, I'm afraid it's not good to carry rice home, and there are fewer rickshaws on the street.
But she thought of her colleagues again.
If the price of rice goes up again, she won't be able to get enough money.
She hesitated and went to the door of the rice shop.
Unexpectedly, there was a long line at the door of the rice shop so late. The young man yelled at the top of his voice, "if you buy ten jin for one person, if you don't have more, you should get the ticket first."
When collecting tickets, the people standing next to them look familiar. They should never buy many tickets once.
Gu Wei, who was still hesitant, suddenly realized that if she didn't buy rice today, she might not be able to buy it.
She hurried to line up.
Yu Guang glanced at the man who followed her.
The man persevered and followed no matter it was windy or rainy. Gu Xu was afraid from the beginning, but now he is relieved to see him.
At least, with him following her every day, she is safe at work and after work.
She stood in line for more than an hour, from dusk to dark.
When he saw that she was a thin girl, he said, "you can buy five Jin. You can't carry more."
"No, I want ten jin," Gu said
The boy had no choice but to give her ten jin tickets.
She went to buy rice. When she paid, she saw the price. Rice was three times more expensive than it was a year ago, which was pretty good.
With an umbrella in one hand and ten jin of rice in the other, she still has a pair of lonely high-heeled shoes on her feet, and her whole body is tottering.
She hugged MI and stood by the side of the road waiting for the tram.
The tram arrived, and the nearest station was about two miles away from the lane where she lived.
She took the tram for 30 minutes. When she got off, a woman and her three children got off as well.
The children were all half big and rushed towards her. She faltered, her high-heeled shoes sprained, her feet hurt badly, and her umbrella was swept away by the wind.
Instead, the child's mother scolded her: "don't you look at the road?"
Then he said to his child: "be careful, the rice in this place is useless. If someone else walks, she will slip. Do you pay for it?"
When Gu's foot pain eased, the woman had already taken her child far away.
Gu Xu took off his shoes and looked at the rice bag. There was only half a bag left.
A few beggars came up and grabbed the broken rice on the ground.
Gu Zhen was stunned, and his body was slightly shaken by the rain.
Her umbrella had been blown away by the wind.
Holding a small bag of rice, she took off her shoes and went home step by step.
I didn't hurt my foot badly, but I sprained it. How can you wear high heels without sprain? Just take off your shoes and walk as usual.
This is not bad news today.
I just walk barefoot in socks, and the sole of my foot is hurt by the stones on the road.
Every time Gu Xu took a few steps, he would stop to hold the lamp pole beside him and let his feet rest.
The cold rain is still pouring on her body, and the half bag of rice left in her arms is also soaked.
At this moment, suddenly a shadow came near and covered her.
Gu Xu was startled.
Looking back, I saw the rascal of Hongmen coming with an umbrella.
He did not speak, put the umbrella in her arms, and then hold her up.
Suddenly in the air, Gu Xu almost screams out in fright. Her rice bag and umbrella are about to fall to the ground. She hugs the rice tightly and grabs the umbrella, but forgets to be afraid.
When she comes back to herself, she is already in someone else's arms.
This rascal is not very good in character, but he is very tall and strong. His skin is darker than that of ordinary people, which makes him look especially terrible."Put me down, I can walk by myself!" Gu Zhen struggles.
The other side is very cold, arm hoop tight her: "I want to hand over, who has the time to follow you slowly back!"
Gu Zhen's anger rose in his heart.
She would like to say: in this case, do not follow her every day!
She's a victim. Why does it seem like she's wasting people's time?
How ridiculous!
But where is the world reasonable?
Gu Zhen is a soft character. She can't do evil words, so she endures them silently.
The man is tall and has long legs. Gu must walk for more than ten minutes, and he will arrive in a few minutes.
At the gate of the lane, he put down Gu Zhen, rudely took his umbrella, didn't look at her, turned and walked out.
The successor is here.
"Nothing today." Bai Xiandao.
The companion shrunk his frozen hand and scolded in a low voice: "this ghost day is cold and wet! What's the use of watching her? Can't we use torture to extract a confession quickly? "
"It is estimated that it is also a way to prevent the fish from missing the net." Bai Xiandao.
These people are useless in the gang. They are the lowest class. They are free and free. It's better to find something for them.
Therefore, the companions think that tracking Gu Zhen is worthless. In fact, they ignore the root cause because they are worthless to the gang.
Bai Xian simply explained a few words and turned around to leave.
But the companion laughingly pulled him, wretched way: "want to go to white snow there to sleep again?"
White virtuous light way: "yes."
"Well, you go. You two are very affectionate." He said with a smile.
Bai Xian's brow inadvertently frowned.
It's not this sentence that makes him unhappy, but his partner's obscene and slippery attitude makes him very uncomfortable.
Haoxue is a singer, surnamed Bai, working in a dance hall.
The real boss behind the scenes of that song and dance hall is Zhang Xinmei, and it is because of this that he got to know Zhang Jiuye and became his undercover agent.
He and Bai haoxue are orphans of the welfare hall. They were not close when they were children. Later, they grew up and left the welfare hall together. They haven't studied and don't know words. What else can they do except to be coolies?
He was called stone when he was a child, and haoxue was called Sanya.
Since entering the song and dance hall, haoxue has changed his name and his own.
It's a very good change.
Haoxue gave him, no matter good or bad, he had to accept.
He also lives in the dance hall, but not in haoxue's room, but under the stairs of the storeroom.
It's raining so hard, and it's the end of the new year. The song and dance hall is still very busy. In the French concession of Shanghai, there is a feeling that "the soldiers are half dead, and the beauties are singing and dancing.".
"It's shameless. I'll be with you tonight!" After he came near, he saw haoxue holding a guest, already drunk.
The guest's hand touched disorderly a pass, low low to beg for mercy: "really must go back, my uncle elder brother arrives tomorrow morning."
Hao snow does not give up: "take your uncle and brother together, anyway you are not allowed to go."
The guest was a little impatient, almost pushed haoxue to stagger.
Bai Xian comes forward and pulls Hao Xue off the guest. The guest runs away in a hurry.
Haoxue is really drunk. She can't stand the pushing and shoving. She holds the stone pillar beside her and vomits.
When she finished spitting, she looked up and saw Bai Xian. She chuckled: "stone!"
Bai Xian asked, "why did you make trouble with the guests again?"
"These dead things are stingy! It's not easy to catch one, but we have to dig out some oil and water. " Said Bai haoxue.
Bai Xian helplessly helped her to the dressing room to have a rest.
He took warm water to gargle her mouth, and asked for a plate of hot water to wash her face and hands.
"Or don't do it." Bai Xian couldn't help saying.
Bai haoxue said with a smile: "is it difficult to go down to the hall? When we were young, we always had to earn some money. In the future, we will go to the countryside to buy a piece of land, and we will have a place for the rest of our lives. It's better to be a singer than a prostitute. Why do you think I'm dirty? "
Bai Xian's eyes were cold.
Haoxue pulled his face: "Yo, are you jealous again?"
She had a good temper. When she said that, she was suddenly upset and slapped Bai Xian: "are you still jealous? What qualifications do you have to be jealous? I'm a rascal. How dare you despise me? Did I go to sell it? "
Bai Xian was stiff with difficulty.
"I'll tell you stone, you'll never get rid of me in your life! You dislike me. What did you do when you were 14 years old? Smelly hooligan, he's been a bitch since childhood. Now he's got a long face! " Haoxue scolds.
Bai Xian let her scold, fingers deep into the meat, pinched out his palm deep traces.
Later, several other dancers came in, pressed haoxue and said, "don't be angry with sister Bai."
Bai Xian turned and left without saying a word.A little dancer who has just been in business for half a year catches up and whispers to Bai Xian: "brother Bai, don't be angry. Sister haoxue is drunk today."
The little dancer always wanted to find a chance to talk to Bai Xian, but she took care of him.
Unexpectedly, Bai haoxue rushed out.
She grabbed the dancer's collar and slapped her in the face: "you little wave hoof, you seduce my man!"
After that, she slapped Bai Xian in the face again, "I knew you were upset, good hearted, stinky, poor man!"
Finally, the manager came forward to subdue haoxue.
Bai Xian goes downstairs to call Zhang Xinmei's people and tell them about Gu Xu today.
When the matter was finished, the person over there suddenly asked on the phone, "white stone, are you crying?"
"No Bai Xian forced to hang up the phone.
