Chapter 160 Liang Zhu (10)


    Liu Tao sat in a daze on the sofa for more than ten minutes. After calming down a little, she did not say anything to persuade Luo Jun to go back to Shanghai. She went upstairs to change into clean clothes and comb her hair and wash her face again, and then started cleaning.


    Luo Jun sat in the living room reading newspapers.


    It is very rare. What you read is not novels, but current affairs news. There are key words circled by pens in the newspaper, basically where the battle situation is, where there are floods, where there are droughts, where there are plagues, and some missing person revelations mixed in the corner.


    Qin Huai stood beside Luo Jun and glanced at the newspaper and found that Luo Jun was indeed not wrong. According to the newspaper, except for remote areas where no one cares about it, there is really no absolutely safe place these days.


    In this era, remote areas that are unpopular are insecure in a sense.


    Luo Jun frowned and studied the newspaper, and circled the place out with a pen from time to time. He was studying it when there was a knock on the door outside.


    Liu Tao, who was cleaning the cabinet, hurriedly opened the door. Outside the door was a middle-aged couple.


    The man has a big belly and looks very imposing. The woman is slightly fat, wearing a cheongsam, a beautiful pearl necklace around her neck, a heavy gold bracelet and an exaggerated gem ring on her hands, looking jewel-like and very rich.


    "Minister Cao, Mrs. Cao, why are you two here?" Liu Tao quickly welcomed the people in.


    Luo Jun was also a little surprised when he saw the visitor, but he didn''t show it much, just calmly put down the newspaper and stood up.


    Liu Tao went to the kitchen to make tea.


    "Mr. Luo, you didn''t say hello to your wife until you didn''t return overnight last night, but she was frightened and was frightened in the air-raid shelter. If it weren''t for your servants and I holding her back, she would have run out to look for you at night. I just heard that you were back without any danger, so my old Cao and I came to see you." Mrs. Cao said, "There was nothing wrong with her words, but her tone sounded a little bad.


    Minister Cao glared at Mrs. Cao, and Mrs. Cao rolled his eyes disdainfully and sat down with dissatisfaction.


    Minister Cao could only smile at Luo Jun apologetically: "Mr. Luo, don''t blame me. My wife has been in the countryside a few years ago, and she has this temper."


    Mrs. Cao rolled her eyes again.


    "That''s right. My wife is a little confused about the situation. I heard that she said something unpleasant to your wife in the air-raid shelter last night. She is suspicious all day long. I''m worried that she will take your wife off the wrong way, so I specially brought her to explain." Minister Cao said with a smile.


    Liu Tao came out of the kitchen with tea and served tea to Minister Cao and Mrs. Cao. When the tea was brought to Mrs. Cao, Mrs. Cao got up and took it, drank it directly, and pointed to the seat next to Liu Tao, indicating that Liu Tao should not sit down even if she stood.


    Qin Huai looked at the two and thought Mrs. Cao was quite interesting. Although she didn''t like Luo Jun, she had a good relationship with Liu Tao.


    "Mrs. Luo, I know that Lao Luo is worried about going out more during this period, but don''t worry, he is my brother, and people are protecting him when going out. Isn''t men working outside for their wife and children? You should also be more considerate of Lao Luo. I just got a box of good bird''s nest yesterday to make up for you. I see that you are haggard during this period." Minister Cao said, laughing very falsely.


    Liu Tao was a little confused, obviously not understanding why Minister Cao and his wife came to the door to explain this matter. Still hesitating about how to ask, Minister Cao stood up and said that he had something to leave first. Mrs. Cao also stood up and told Liu Tao not to forget to go to his house to play mahjong in the afternoon.


    Liu Tao sent the two out, and Luo Jun continued to read the newspaper without a surprise.


    Qin Huai also felt that Minister Cao and his wife were a little confused, and went out quietly to hear if they could tell some explosive gossip.


    I heard it as soon as I went out.


    As soon as the door was closed, Minister Cao changed his face and whispered: "Are you full and have nothing to do when you are idle? Last night, he told Mrs. Luo that inexplicable words to her and advised her to go back to Shanghai, saying that you want to go back to your hometown, and I won''t stop you from going back. I will buy a ticket tomorrow to take you back."


    Mrs. Cao also changed her face in an instant: "What''s wrong with me? You men are not the same. You dislike me, Lao Zhuhuang, threw me into the countryside to serve my parents-in-law, and married a female student in the city for free and happy life. My brother took me to the city as soon as he was promoted. He changed his face faster than reading a book."


    "Your surnamed Cao is not a thing, and his surnamed Luo is not a thing. Isn''t you just a businessman? You pretend to be in love all day long, either reading books or reading newspapers, secretly raising an outdoor room outside. You are also talking about business with you. What business did he talk to you? Running out every few days, who knows what he is doing outside, and he must have raised a young man outside."


    Qinhuai:?


    Minister Cao lowered his voice: "What does this have to do with you? Is Luo Jun an ordinary businessman? Go and inquire. He has offended him over the years, whether it is a gang, apartment house, foreigner, or government officials, all of them will not be seen alive or dead. I am just a small minister with no real power. How many lives do you have? You said he is an ordinary businessman."


    Mrs. Cao was still dissatisfied.


    "I told you to play mahjong more with Mrs. Luo, not to let you share the same hatred with her and become Jinlan."


    "I want me to say that Mr. Luo is very interesting. His wife is not very good at writing. She is still an actor. She is a concubine. She has never even had a child after so many years of marriage. She is probably unable to have children."


    "Mr. Luo didn''t just take the young ones, but just looked for them outside. I guess I wanted to hold them in his wife''s name after giving birth. I''m going to do this and I have nothing to choose from. Don''t say anything in front of Mrs. Luo. Take care of your mouth when playing mahjong in the afternoon and remember whether or not." Minister Cao said sternly.


    Mrs. Cao nodded reluctantly.


    "Mr. Luo can''t let it go when he talks to me about business. The pearl necklace on your neck was given by Mr. Luo, so he''s more firm."


    Mrs. Cao accelerated her pace unhappily and left.


    Leaving Qin Huai, Qin Huai, stood there in confusion.


    Based on his understanding of Luo Jun, Luo Jun is likely not to keep an outdoor room outside. Luo Jun doesn''t like to lie. He doesn''t have no nostrils facing the sky and looks at people squintedly. He doesn''t bother to lie at all.


    But he did lie again.


    Liu Tao said that Luo Jun has been out frequently recently and is not at home every time he sounds the air defense alarm. He always talks about business with Minister Cao outside.


    But Luo Jun obviously did not discuss business with Minister Cao, so Minister Cao and Mrs. Cao guessed that Luo Jun had a room outside.


    Now the question is, why did Luo Jun lie to Liu Tao? He is not a person who loves to go out.


    When Luo Jun was not in love, he was apart from the necessary fighting and killing, and he stayed in a hotel to read novels, and eating was called running errands.


    Luo Jun has been short of money recently and has a lot of business outside. He is too **** to hide his traces, so he often goes out to find Minister Cao to act and deceive Liu Tao?


    The business shouldn''t be too much like this.


    Qin Huai walked back to the house through the wall with doubts.


    Luo Jun was still sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, and Liu Tao had cleaned the cabinet to the dining table.


    After a while, Uncle Zhang and Chen Ping, who went out to find Luo Jun in the morning, came back. Both of them looked a little embarrassed and covered in dust. Luo Jun didn''t say anything, and directly ordered the two to do work.


    One went out to run errands to buy newspapers, and the other went to a restaurant to get food.


    In the afternoon, Liu Tao went to Minister Cao''s house to play mahjong, and Luo Jun used the excuse to go to the government to find Minister Cao to go out.


    "Boyan." Liu Tao hesitated before going out, but still spoke, "It''s so chaotic outside now that you have to go out to talk to Minister Cao every day, it''s already dangerous. Otherwise, let''s put it aside if you want to ask my parents."


    "This way you can go out a little less."


    "I''m still relieved to stay with Minister Cao. I''m really worried about the situation like last night."


    Luo Jun looked at Liu Tao''s worried expression, and although he was a little reluctant, he nodded: "I understand. I will let others do it in the future when I find someone. I won''t go out tonight."


    Liu Tao then went out with confidence.


    Luo Jun did not go out first, but went upstairs to fold 26 newspapers and went out with a bag of newspapers in his arms.


    Then Qin Huai followed Luo Jun all the way, watching Luo Jun pass through the rich area, pass by the cafe, avoid small vendors, and walk around the complicated road. Finally, I came to a vacant land where there was no high-rise building blocking, with a wide view, a bright sunshine, and no **** smell or rotten smell in the air. I looked like the environment was pretty good. I took out the stacked newspaper, unfolded it, and started reading the newspaper.


    Qinhuai:?


    No, Luo Jun colluded with others to deceive Liu Tao, and even gave him a good pearl necklace. This made Mrs. Cao think that he cheated on raising a mistress outside and was angry and hinted that Liu Tao was so complicated that it took so much effort to find a place with good light to read the newspaper.


    Is the light at home bad?


    Is it necessary to read novels outside to be particularly good?


    Are men after marriage so elusive? This place is not as good as the courtyard of the neighbor next door of Jiang Weiming. At least in that courtyard, Luo Jun can sit on a chair and watch it, but he can only stand here.


    Luo Jun stood there and read the newspaper for an afternoon. His feet were not sore at all, and his waist was not hurt at all. He kept seeing the light at dusk getting dark, so he reluctantly folded the newspaper and put it in his pocket and went home.


    When Luo Jun returned home, it was completely dark, and Liu Tao stood at the door waiting for him.


    Seeing Liu Tao standing at the door, Luo Jun asked, "Why aren''t you waiting at home?"


    "You didn''t come back when it was dark. I was worried about staying at home." Liu Tao said, showing an embarrassed smile, "Mrs. Cao explained to me this afternoon. I misunderstood what she meant last night."


    "You are right. Nothing is safe now, and no countryside is safe."


    "Just just now, Mrs. Cao asked the maid to send a cup of stewed pigeons with Gastrodia elata. Gastrodia elata is a way to make the purpose clear. You don''t like to eat pigeons, but I''ve tasted that soup very fresh. You can drink more pigeon soup later."


    Luo Jun nodded: "Don''t stand outside next time. I''ll try to control the time before dark. It''s windy at night, and it''s easy to get sick if it blows too much."


    The two of them went into the house together, and the dishes were warmed in the kitchen. Liu Tao went into the kitchen to bring out the dishes, and the pigeon soup was served in a full bowl for Luo Jun. Qin Huai took a look at what was left in the kitchen, not just drinking more, but basically all the soup was in the bowl.


    The dishes are simple, but they should be considered rich in this era.


    Fried tofu, stir-fried vegetables, sweet and sour fish and braised pork ribs, plus a bowl of pigeon soup and white rice, an absolute meal.


    After dinner, Luo Jun and Liu Tao went upstairs. Luo Jun recited Liu Tao for more than an hour to go to bed.


    It can be seen that the situation is indeed very chaotic. Luo Jun can''t even hire a female student to read the novel for Liu Tao by himself.


    Early in the morning of the second day, Luo Jun folded more than 30 newspapers at once and brought a novel. After drinking tangerine peel tea, he went out early and found a place with a better environment than yesterday. He stood and read the novel all day long.


    I didn''t even eat rice.


    It can be said that I have forgotten to eat and sleep.


    The same will be true for the next two days.


    If there is a smartphone at this time, Luo Jun’s WeChat exercise steps must be very high, because he reads on citywalk and standing every day. Qin Huai even suspected that Luo Jun was not very good at hind legs when he was old, not because he had only one leg in Bi Fang''s body, but because he walked a lot when he was young.


    Qin Huai followed Luo Jun for several days. Why did he sit at home and read novels uncomfortable? He insisted on finding fault with himself and went around looking for places every day and couldn''t find the reason. He read a lot of novels together, which was more than the previous two memories combined.


    On the third day of seeing it, Qin Huai actually felt that Luo Jun’s novel reading model was quite healthy.


    Enjoy and read, and have regular schedules. Apart from not eating less at noon every day, I can’t find any shortcomings.


    Qin Huai even felt that Luo Jun could tell the truth to Liu Tao. With Liu Tao’s trust and tolerance for Luo Jun, even if Luo Jun doesn’t give any reason, he just said that he wanted to walk outside and read the novels by the way, Liu Tao would probably accept it.


    Oh no, Liu Tao feels that it is too dangerous outside and is likely to be unacceptable.


    Wait, this is the reason why Luo Jun lied to Liu Tao.


    But why did he have to watch outside?


    On the third night, all the questions seemed to have answers.


    Luo Jun recited the novel to Liu Tao as usual. Liu Tao listened with relish, and suddenly, the air defense alarm sounded.


    Liu Tao was still wearing pajamas. When she heard the air defense alarm sounded, she quickly got up and put on a tight coat. She took out a kettle and greasy biscuits wrapped in tightly wrapped in oil paper from the cabinet, and pulled Luo Jun, who had just picked up the novel, downstairs.


    Downstairs, Uncle Zhang and Chen Ping, who were living on the first floor, also packed their bags and waited for Liu Tao and Luo Jun to come down, protecting the two of them one by one and the other to go out to the air-raid shelter.


    The air raid shelters in this area should have been dug specifically for this wealthy area. They are not wide, but have complete facilities.


    Qinhuai noticed that there were radio stations, transmitters, kerosene lamps, tables, and some wooden boxes in the air-raid shelter. It was estimated that the materials such as food and water were placed inside.


    Liu Tao and Luo Jun did not bring complicated supplies because someone helped them bring them. The servants of Mrs. Cao''s family not only brought hot water, tea sets, tea leaves, but also chairs and cushions.


    The things others brought were even more outrageous. Some brought mahjong, some brought chess, some brought cigarette guns, some carried bird cages, and some held cats and dogs.


    Everyone can gather together things, not only can they play birds and dogs, cards and chess, but they can also swallow clouds and gamble money and shake dice.


    There are guards on guard at the outermost point.


    Qin Huai was shocked.


    The family outside is destroyed, and the people are lost here are rich and rich.


    No wonder Luo Jun said that other places may not be safe here. This place is indeed very safe, and it is even a bit too safe.


    Luo Jun obviously doesn''t like this kind of environment and is full of luxury.


    No matter how many items a rich person adds here, it cannot change the fact that this is an air-raid shelter.


    Wet, dark, narrow, noisy, exuding a musty smell, it is a shameful underground corner.


    Liu Tao was pulled to the card table by Mrs. Cao, but she was obviously unwilling to play cards. Because Liu Tao also knew that Luo Jun didn''t like staying in the air-raid shelter, she wanted to stand beside Luo Jun and accompany him, even if she sang two scenes to Luo Jun with the disdainful eyes of others.


    "Mr. Luo, we are missing 1. Do you want to make a corner?" Someone called Luo Jun.


    Luo Jun shook his head.


    Others laughed and said, "You don''t know that Mr. Luo doesn''t like playing mahjong, don''t disturb him reading. I remember your driver can play? Pull him onto the table and push him."


    "He is a driver..."


    “It’s an extraordinary time.”


    Everyone laughed.


    Seeing this scene, Qin Huai seemed to be back to the Richard Hotel when he first saw Luo Jun’s memory, which was brightly lit and played mahjong all night.


    Qin Huai seemed to understand why Luo Jun had to make excuses every day and went outside to read the newspaper.


    It’s not that he doesn’t want to stay at home, it’s just that he doesn’t want to stay here.


    He was too lazy to explain and couldn''t explain clearly, so he simply didn''t explain, and made up a reason to go out reasonably every day.


    Anyway, he is not afraid of bombing.


    Qinhuai can only say that Bi Fang could indeed do whatever he wanted in his heyday.


    ?The memory plot of the previous chapter has been changed a little


    ?
