The Epic Revenge Chapter 1723: Meet again
As the first month passes, the weather gradually warms up.
The artillery fire finally stopped for a few minutes, a Japanese puppet government was established in Nanjing, and there was temporary tranquility in Shanghai.
In such an environment, it is very difficult to make a living.
Rice is already sky-high, and vegetables and fruits have become a luxury, not to mention meat dishes.
Gu Yun's salary is not high, her mother and sister's life is also difficult, and the crops in her hometown have not been harvested because of the war, so she can only rely on herself.
She lived her life carefully, not to cause trouble, not to make herself sick.
Fortunately, the rent does not need to be paid. When the war is over in the future, it will be paid to the landlady at one time.
Zhang Xinmei was active, and the next day the people from Hongmen disappeared.
Gu Yun has been ill since then.
She had a low-grade fever on and off, and was very sad every day, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
After half a month, her mood gradually stabilized, and her illness gradually improved.
Zhang Xinmei asked someone to bring her dishes once, including spare ribs, old hens and live fish, as well as apples and various vegetables.
At the same time, he also gave her a telegram from Si Yuzao.
"Tamazao has been thinking about you, let me always come to see you. Do you need to tell her about your illness?" Zhang Xinmei asked.
Gu Yun shook his head: "I don't need Jiuye, I'm already fine."
"Then you can make soup with the hen and replenish your body." Zhang Xinmei said, "There is a shortage of medicines in Shanghai now, and minor illnesses may even kill people, so be careful yourself."
Gu Yun said yes.
Time passes slowly.
The jujube tree at the entrance of the alley, budding and blooming, shaded in midsummer and fruited in autumn.
Cold and summer come and go, from spring to autumn.
Gu Yun also did not see Bai Xian again for eight months, this person completely disappeared from her world.
Sometimes she also thinks: Hongmen and people are often going to die. Could he have died somewhere without knowing it?
Thinking about this, she felt inexplicably chills all over her body.
In an autumn rain, the summer heat has completely subsided. On Saturday, Gu Yun and a few women in the alley were chatting at the door and basking in the sun.
She knitted a scarf while looking at the quilt she was drying in preparation for this winter.
"Miss Gu, try the dates." A woman took a long bamboo pole and walked back from the door.
The jujubes at the entrance of the alley are ripe and almost harvested.
Gu Yun tasted one, but it was not very familiar.
"It's sweet," she said politely.
Other women also tasted it and said with a smile that Miss Gu said good things, where is it sweet?
Several people were talking, and two attendants came in with a large basket.
"Are you Miss Gu's guest?" Several women smiled, with happy expressions on their faces.
In the past eight months, Zhang Xinmei was entrusted by Yuzao and sent her supplies four times.
Gu Yun is friendly to his neighbors, and he always distributes it to his neighbors.
"...Miss Si's telegram." The attendant put down the things and handed Gu Yun a piece of paper.
Tamazao said in the telegram that he really wanted to eat the sour beans made by Gu Yun.
The last time was midsummer, and the beans were just on the market. Gu Yun brought some to Zhang Xinmei and asked her to bring Yuzao. The weather was too hot, and she was afraid that Yuzao would not be able to eat anything. The sour beans were just appetizing and could be eaten.
Unexpectedly, Tamamo is addicted.
"Thank you." Gu Yun said to the two followers, and gave them a handful of money.
They shoved and accepted.
Gu Yun opened the basket, and sure enough there was rice and meat.
She kept two or three meals for herself, and gave the rest to her neighbors. In such a time of war and chaos, she was alone in Shanghai, what could she do without any help?
A neighbor is more reliable when you are away from home.
After the division, Gu Yun sent Yuzao a telegram again.
The next day was Sunday. It was a sunny and sunny day. She packed two cans of sour beans, which she made last time, and a telegram that she was going to return. She went to find Zhang Xinmei.
She knows Zhang Xinmei's home.
Anyone can go to Zhang Xinmei's house, there is no privacy.
The building of his house is very empty, I heard he bought it all.
Three brand new luxury cars were parked downstairs, and a few people dressed in entourages stood downstairs smoking a cigarette.
"Did he have a guest?" Gu Yun thought to himself.
She should have made a phone call first, but unfortunately she never contacted Zhang Xinmei and didn't know his phone number.
She had to bite the bullet and go upstairs.
The door of Zhang Xinmei's house was not closed, and sure enough, several guests came.
Gu Yun called out "Jiu Ye" at the door.
Zhang Xinmei stood up and nodded at her: "Did you bring something here?"
"Yes." Gu Yun lowered his head.
Zhang Xinmei said: "You come first."
He led Gu Yun to the study.
Gu Yun walked in. When passing the living room, he saw a guest sitting on the sofa near the south, and his body suddenly became tense.
He didn't move, the entire figure froze.
Gu Yun happened to pass by him and glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
She doesn't know her.
This is a guest in a white shirt. The material of the clothes is very good and looks quite expensive.
Gu Yun doesn't know many people in Shanghai, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Xinmei's social circle. His distinguished guest cannot be someone she knows.
So, she just took it as her own illusion and stepped into Zhang Xinmei's study.
She also heard other guests ask, "Master Bai, are you okay?"
She doesn't know anyone with the surname Bai.
She handed the jar of sour beans to Zhang Xinmei, and took out the telegram she wanted to send to Yuzao.
Zhang Xinmei glanced at her. She said on the telegram that she was fine and might return to the countryside soon.
He asked curiously, "Are you going back to the countryside?"
When they were talking, Zhang Xinmei didn't close the door of the study, and his voice could be vaguely heard outside.
Gu Yun's voice was very soft: "We have this plan. In our newspaper, four people became frontline reporters, and two people died, one of whom was our boss."
Zhang Xinmei was surprised, her heart was heavy and funny: "Your boss personally went to the front? There is so much competition in the newspaper industry?"
"No, he is sincere." Gu Yun sighed, "Although the proprietress is still running a newspaper, she has repeatedly proposed to close the door and return to her hometown, but she can't let go of the boss's wishes.
Recently, two colleagues have left their jobs and returned to their hometown. The newspaper office is crumbling and will close by the end of the year. It is impossible to open again next year, I have to leave sooner or later. "
Zhang Xinmei thought about it and asked, "Can I help you find another job?"
"No." Gu Yun smiled bitterly, "Shanghai's rice and oil are too expensive, and the salary is not enough for me to eat, so I should go back to the countryside. I still have some food in my old house, so I won't be hungry when I go back. ."
Zhang Xinmei stopped persuading her.
He said: "When are you going, tell me, and I will send someone to **** you. This road is blocked by artillery fire, there are wars everywhere, the train can't go, and it is inconvenient for you to go out as a woman. In case you have What a mistake, Tamamo must be very sad."
In front of Si Yuzao, he always despised her, but when he did things behind his back, he never leaked, and he refused to make Yuzao sad in the slightest.
Gu Yun nodded.
She gave a few simple greetings, then asked about Tamamo's current situation, and said, "You still have guests, so I won't delay you."
Zhang Xinmei sent her out.
When going out, the VIP who was nervous just now seemed to be tensing up again, but now he was mentally prepared, the tension was only for a moment, and then he returned to normal.
Gu Yun didn't look at him anymore, Zhang Xinmei took her downstairs.
"I'll take the tram back by myself, so I don't need to send Jiu Ye." Gu Yun said.
Zhang Xinmei said: "Go back slowly."
Gu Yun nodded.
She was about to leave when she heard footsteps on the stairs.
Zhang Xinmei glanced at the person, tapped him on the shoulder, and went upstairs by mistake without saying anything. The man saw that Gu Yun had already crossed the road, and ran over immediately: "Miss Gu."
