Chapter 177: Honest Ajie
Chapter 177: Honest Ajie
Several cars drove towards the south. At first, they drove very slowly because of the heavy snow. However, the further south they went, the less snow there was. After four hours, there was no more snow, but there was ice on the road, which caused them to drive slower and slower. It was not until around 2 p.m. that things got better.
When they arrived at the port, it was exactly the same time that Huo Haocheng had estimated, at 4 pm, and they boarded the cruise ship to go abroad.
After getting on board, they first went to eat something casually, and then held a meeting, in which they were told that from now on, they needed to call out code names, pay attention to the safety of diplomats at all times, and arrange people to take turns on duty every day.
They need to stay at sea for a week, which happens to be the time for Ruan Ruan to be deployed.
A Kun and Huo Haojie slept until 2 pm. At lunch time, Huo Songhuai went to see them and saved their meals. He did not wake them up and ate them himself. It would not be too late to eat after they woke up.
While they were eating, he told Ruan Ruan about what happened last night, especially their identities.
"In other words, you caught a few people who were living a good life last night?" When she heard them talking about Yamamura-kun, her first reaction was living a good life.
"What? Who are you talking about?" Several people were confused by her question. They had never heard of this what? Who was this person?
"No, nothing! I just heard what Uncle Kun said, and it seems that the Miao family is doing pretty well, right?" He spoke too fast and got himself into trouble. He made up a random statement, tactically drank a sip of water to calm himself, and then asked a random question to divert their attention.
"You know what. Last night, when we went in, the food on their table was really good. And you didn't see the boxes of money and tickets in their cellar. If Haojie hadn't looked carefully, we would have missed these things."
"This is also thanks to the public security comrades. You brought them here just in time, and they cooperated well. You caught them in no time, and didn't even give them a chance to react."
....................
The two of them ended the story with praises to each other.
Huo Songhuai, Ruan Ruan, and Wang Qun just looked at them, praising each other. Of course, they also brought the public security comrades along. They didn't interrupt them, they just wanted to see how long the two could continue praising each other.
In the end, it was A Kun who was defeated.
"Stop, that's enough. I've figured out that you are a man who can't afford to lose. I'll let you take my place today. I'll go to the police station first and see if Zhang Da has been arrested."
The defeated A Kun drank a large glass of water, got dressed, and went out.
Watching him leave, Huo Haojie slumped down on the kang in a bad mood and drank water in big gulps.
"You are not a child anymore, why are you still competing with your uncle A Kun for words?" Wang Qun looked at him and said unhappily.
"Mom, you don't understand this, right? Uncle Kun doesn't have a child at his age. On weekdays, there's no one to argue with him like I do. Now that we're having a hard time, he can feel refreshed if we occasionally argue with him. When we leave tomorrow, you and dad will be the only ones left here, and he won't feel bored."
In fact, he didn't want to argue with A Kun like this, but he felt that Uncle Kun was too lonely. Although he knew a lot of people here and would say hello when he saw them, and occasionally have a drink with a few familiar people, but when he returned home, it was always deserted. Ever since he was injured and his wife ran away with someone, he hasn't remarried. The neighbors have always wanted to find him a wife, but he doesn't agree.
Every time he answered that it was good to be alone, he earned his own money and spent it on himself, no one quarreled with him, and his home was quiet. But only he knew that he was just hurt by his previous family members and didn’t want to let himself be hurt by others again.
"Hey, your Uncle Kun, it's been so many years, but you still can't let it go!" Huo Songhuai was the first among them to know A Kun. From the moment they met, he called him A Kun. He never let them call him by his full name, so many people didn't know his last name. His peers called him A Kun, and the younger generation called him Uncle Kun.
"This is also good. Everyone has his or her own way of living. Perhaps, this state is the most comfortable for Uncle Kun?"
Ruan Ruan has seen many people like A Kun. She has always respected their ideas and allowed them to live the way they want as long as it does not violate the law.
"maybe"
A Kun went out and first visited Zhang Da's house, then went to the Public Security Bureau to understand the situation, and returned home at dinner time.
"We have found out that Zhang Da and his wife have been arrested. As for his wife, it is still unclear, but Zhang Da and his mother will be sentenced. As for the others, we have also pried out information about other Miao people in the black market from them. Today, the captain and his men have arrested a lot of people! I heard that they will all be sent to the northwest to be with the Miao people. As for that Shancunjun, we have also dug out a lot of information from him. This time, we have directly dug out all the enemy spies hidden in the black market.
Well, I was lucky. I heard that the person who came this time was a playboy in their family. He couldn't stand it after a few seconds and told me everything."
When I think of the way the public security comrades laughed so hard when they talked about Yamamura-kun, and how they said that it was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a spineless R countryman.
After dinner, there was nothing to do, so they all went to sleep. The next day, Ruan Ruan and Wang Qun cooked a lot of food and took it with them. When it got dark, A Kun and Huo Songhuai took them to the river.
There has been a boat waiting here early. Tonight, Ruan Ruan and Huo Haojie will cross the river in front of them, which is several hundred meters wide, and go to the opposite country.
A Kun and Huo Songhuai escorted them to the other side of the river, where people were already waiting.
"Ga, ga, ga"
When we were still a few meters away from the shore, we heard three calls of wild ducks coming from the reeds.
Then, I heard A Kun respond to the reeds with two "Ga, Ga" sounds.
After that, the boatman threw the rope onto the shore.
The man came out and pulled them ashore.
"Ajie, this is Miss Ruan Ruan, Mr.'s disciple. From now on, the safety of Miss and the others will be in your hands."
After the boat docked, A Kun introduced Ruan Ruan to the visitor.
This man's name is Ajie, and he is a native of Country S. He is just an ordinary person, but because of the war, he was once displaced and was accidentally rescued by Mr. Bai Shu. Afterwards, Mr. Bai gave him money so that he could live a stable life in Country S. He also promised that when his disciple found him, he would help her three times.
So over the years, A Kun and A Jie have been in contact. This time, after Huo Haojie came, A Kun sent a message to A Jie in advance, which led to the pick-up tonight.
"Ruan Ruan, Hao Jie, you just need to follow A Jie. Don't worry, A Jie has received favors from your husband and promised him to help you three times. Moreover, A Jie is an upright person who knows how to repay kindness. As long as you don't do anything to hurt him, he will help you.
We can no longer help you with the following matters, but don’t worry, we will be waiting for you to return safely.”
A Kun briefly introduced A Jie's situation to them and explained what to do next. It was getting late and they couldn't stay here.
"Uncle Kun, don't worry, we will take good care of ourselves. We don't know what time it is, and the weather is not good. You should go back quickly and be careful on the road."
After watching them board the boat and returning, Ajie explained the situation to them in his poor Chinese.
"Next, I will take you to where you are staying. You can rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to buy supplies, and then we will set off."
"Okay, Uncle Ajie, thank you for your help."
Ever since she met Ajie, Ruan Ruan has been observing him. When she arrived in a strange place, she would not completely trust this person, even if this person was prepared for her by her master. But who knows? After so many years, and in the midst of war, who can completely trust anyone?
"No trouble. Mr. Bai saved my life. Since I agreed to his conditions, I will definitely do it. This is the basic principle of being a human being."
Ajie took them for an hour before they arrived at a small building. The room prepared for them was on the second floor.
"You guys rest here tonight. I'll come and join you tomorrow morning."
After Ajie finished explaining, he went downstairs. Downstairs was his shop. In the beginning, he used the money left to him by Bai Zhu to make friends with the powerful and wealthy, and then sent his children to the army. After a few years of stability, he bought this shop and opened a weapons shop.
This also makes it convenient for Ruan Ruan and others to replenish their needs in a timely manner.
After Ajie walked away, Huo Haojie said to Ruan Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, don't you trust Ajie very much?"
"It's not that I don't trust you, but when you go out, you have to be on guard against others. Be careful and be prepared."
"Well, you're right"
"It's getting late, brother. Go to bed early. You'll be very busy in the next period of time."
After that, the brother and sister washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
