Find the outhouse at the westernmost end of the back house. Don’t ask Zhou Xiang how he knew it. In ancient times, outhouses were always located right at the entrance to the courtyard.
It should be possible to crawl out from the angle between the toilet and the courtyard wall, right?
Unfortunately, this requires coordinated movement of the limbs and I can’t do it.
He moved a chair out of the study, tied a rope to the handle, and climbed up the wall using the chair.
He gently pulled up the chair, put it into the space, and climbed down from the wall.
I have to prepare a ladder in the space in case of thieves' need!
He took out a broom, started sweeping from the scratches on the wall, and swept backwards out of Guanfu Street. The old guy was too powerful. What if he was alerted and escaped?
I was too careless tonight. I only left one mark in the man's room. Two marks would be too obvious.
However, if it wasn't so obvious, no one would have known that there was a basement under the Wan family's house!
I don’t know what’s underneath?
When I returned to the yard of the Water Conservancy Bureau, the gatekeeper was already asleep. The big iron gate was easy to climb, so I quietly climbed over it.
Zhou's mother was already waiting anxiously. Her little girl had been out for three or four hours. Hopefully, nothing had happened to her.
At this time, he heard the courtyard door being pushed open and saw a little figure coming in. Just as he was about to ask, he saw the little girl waving her hands.
It was the second half of the night on the 19th, and the moon was still bright. Zhou Xiang's actions were obvious, so his mother immediately shut up.
He turned around and gently pushed the gate shut, then walked to his mother and said softly, "I'm not going anywhere tonight. You're just getting up to sleep. Do you understand?"
Zhou's mother also whispered in her ear: "Is it okay? Is there no one to see you?"
"No, I was very careful to avoid everyone. It's best if you forget what happened tonight. No one must know that I went out."
"Okay! I don't care and I don't ask. As long as you are safe, that's all that matters."
The mother and daughter quietly went back to the room to sleep. Listening to her mother's snoring, Zhou Xiang lost all desire to sleep.
What should we do? In the 1980s, there are still people like this taking up residence among the common people. Japan's aggressiveness has never stopped.
Who should I contact? Zhou Zuoping is a civil servant. The mayor shouldn't have access to any of these enemy spies, right?
Besides, there was a problem with his secretary before, but what about now?
Zhou Xiang tossed and turned for a long time, and simply went into the space.
After working for a while, he untied the rope on the chair and returned it to the study.
Seeing the bullet shell tank on the bookshelf, Zhou Xiang's eyes lit up. Maybe, the old man of the Ling family can do it.
Only then did he sleep peacefully in the space. When he woke up the next day, he didn't tell his mother what happened at school yesterday.
As soon as I arrived at the classroom with my schoolbag, I was called to the office.
Standing next to Wan Jing was the young couple from last night. Zhou Xiang didn't dare to look at them for too long, but just glanced at Wan Jing a few more times.
This time, wearing tinted glasses, I found that Wan Jing really looked like a Japanese, with fair skin and a short distance between her eyebrows and eyes.
Maybe because she was born here, she doesn't have the humility of her parents in her behavior.
Her parents were leaning forward slightly, listening to Ran Qiming's questioning.
"You should teach her some lessons. Not only does she constantly provoke Zhou Xiang, she even tampered with the school performance program. How audacious! This time, she even used Zhou Xiang's intelligence to challenge her. She has no morals and no virtue!"
"Yes, yes, we will teach her a lesson when we get back. Zhou Xiang, I apologize to you on her behalf. We promise that she won't target you again. Please forgive me, and please give her a chance and don't transfer her out of Class 1."
The man bent his upper body slightly and bowed to Zhou Xiang and Ran Qiming respectively.
Zhou Xiang looked into the man's eyes. His face was full of apology, but his eyes were calm, without any apology or anger.
Looking away, Zhou Xiang said calmly, "Okay, give her a chance. If she talks dirty again next time, I'll beat her up!"
Haha, I just don’t know if there will be a next time.
The man nodded repeatedly, "Okay, there will definitely not be a next time."
There was also an apologetic look on the woman's face, as if the two people who were angry last night were not them.
Wan Jing didn't understand why her parents were so humble, but she didn't dare to refute them. Her father was usually very gentle, but he was the most terrifying when he was silent.
Grandpa is the same, and grandma is relatively gentle.
Ran Qiming didn't understand why Zhou Xiang, who had been so prickly yesterday, had calmed down today. But the fact that the situation had been resolved peacefully was a happy ending for everyone.
The three members of the Wan family left the office. Zhou Xiang asked Ran Qiming for leave. "I want to take leave, starting this afternoon. I'm not sure whether I'll be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'll be back when I'm done."
When Ran Qiming heard her asking for leave right away, he wanted to get angry, but her tone and her subsequent words made it clear that she was really serious about her business this time.
"Okay! You leave a note asking for leave. Oh! I have to explain to other teachers again."
"You asked for it. Who told you to be my homeroom teacher?"
Ran Qiming was choked, but shrugged, "Maybe! I think I have a bit of a masochistic tendency."
"Yes! You should see a psychiatrist."
Ran Qiming waved his hand and told her to leave. It would be infuriating. We don’t know who should see a psychiatrist! “Remember to write a note.”
"good!"
Seeing her return to her desk, Xiao Chunmei took out a pen and paper to write a note asking for leave. "What? Are you asking for leave again?"
Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "You have to get used to it. I will need to take many days off."
Xiao Chunmei felt that she had gotten used to it. She asked for leave three times in the first week alone, and she was prepared to give her a leave request occasionally.
At lunch, I told my mother that I had asked for leave. "Mom, I'm taking this afternoon off. I have something to do. I'll be back the day after tomorrow at the latest. I have make-up classes at school on the 27th and 28th, and I have a National Day performance on the 29th. If you're worried about my second sister, you can go back! If you're not worried, go to school and watch my performance, and then we can go back together."
"I want to go see my sister's performance." Zhou Niao answered without waiting for her mother to speak.
"We're going too. Our school has the same holiday time as my sister, but we won't watch the school performance. We're going to support my sister." Zhou Hua said.
Zuo Heng also nodded.
"Okay! Let's all go to the show. Don't worry about your family. Zhu Hang is more active than anyone else."
"Okay! Everyone go."
After dinner, Zhou Xiang left and entered a space in a secluded place, put on some makeup, changed his clothes, and when he came out, he had become a typical bumpkin.
I looked at the shoes on my feet, which were covered in dirt and dust from the roadside, before walking towards the station.
At the post and telecommunications bureau in Xuzhen, Ling Quan heard from his colleagues that there was a country girl at his doorstep, looking for him.
He returned to the family quarters at the back, and sure enough, there was a girl about ten years old standing at the door.
He was wearing blue khaki pants, a yellow top, two little buns on his head tied with a big red woolen hairband, and military yellow sneakers covered in mud.
