Chapter 254: Busy supporting the family in the foreign land
Lu Pingsheng moved quickly and came up in just over ten minutes.
"Thank goodness I went there early, otherwise these two little guys would have become braised lions."
He sat down and shared what had just happened with everyone.
It turned out that when he went downstairs, the little lion was no longer in the cage. When he asked the waiter, he refused to talk about it.
He gave the waiter a tip and only then did he take him to the kitchen yard.
The apprentice was putting the two sleepy little guys on the firewood pile, preparing to burn them to be done with.
Lu Pingsheng spent another ten dollars to rescue him secretly.
Wei Miao smiled when he heard him say that, and asked expectantly, "What about them?"
Lu Pingsheng rolled his eyes and said unhappily:
"I put them in a basket and put them in the car. I'm telling you, you can't keep these two little ones in your house. You have to keep them in my new house first."
Wei Miao was very satisfied and said to Lu Pingsheng sincerely: "Brother Lu, thank you."
Lu Pingsheng waved his hand casually and suppressed the corner of his mouth. If he didn't miss Wei Miao's specialness, he would never let the little brat raise him.
Raising lions, what's the trend?
But if the foreign ghost Hunter knew that the lion was being fed, he would not think that they were fooling him.
He has a really hard time!
After the dishes were served, Wu Ziyang looked at the two people, one large and one small, who looked quite similar, and said:
"Ah Miao, are you really the boss?"
Wei Miao smelled the rich creamy aroma in the food and felt a little regretful.
She had originally planned to go to a newly opened Sichuan restaurant opposite the Municipal Council with Brother Lu at noon.
But I heard that this French restaurant is also very famous, and I rescued two cubs, so it can be considered a perfect ending.
Wei Miao was in a good mood at the moment. When he heard Wu Ziyang's question, he said helplessly:
"Little Wu, my mother is 35 years old this year, but she can't give birth to a 22-year-old Miss Yingzi."
Seeing Wu Ziyang being humiliated and mocking him mercilessly, Lu Pingsheng's mind flashed with the information of this person named Xiaolin Ying.
"Lu Wenying, female, 20 years old, from Guandong."
Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Northeast has been in chaos, the people have been living in poverty, and more and more people have turned to banditry.
Organized bandit groups became the targets of successive wooing by the Russians and the Japanese pirates.
People in later generations say that the war of resistance lasted for more than eight years, but few people know that the people of Northeast China fought for 14 years, or even longer.
After the September 18th regular army retreated, the ones who resisted in the front were what the common people called the bearded bandits.
People in Guandong generally call bandits red beards.
The reason was to prevent accidental discharge of the guns, so they had red tassels tied to the muzzles of their guns.
When it was necessary to shoot and kill someone, the wooden cork with the red tassel would be taken out and bitten in the mouth. From a distance it would look like a conspicuous red beard.
After the fall of Guandong, these outlaws faced three choices: either continue to be bandits as before, leading a life of "lots of happiness, riding big horses, drinking wine, hugging women and eating buns".
Either you serve the Japanese as a dog or an accomplice, and have no worries about food and clothing.
Finally, we must defend our homeland and fight against the Japanese invaders.
Among the three paths, the last one seems to be magnanimous and righteous, but it is the most difficult and hopeless.
The Northeastern Army, equipped with advanced weapons, did not resist, and remained indifferent when the Marshal's residence was ransacked.
The outlaws, armed with homemade guns and cannons, relied only on their passion and the awakened national justice in their hearts.
But Lu Pingsheng never expected that the outlaws would have such a high-level "line-laying" method. (Note 1)
He actually lurked in Japan and was a Japanese doctor.
Her words, actions, frowns and smiles are almost the same as those of the Japanese. Even the slightly inward-turned feet when she walks are exactly the same.
Although the war has not yet started in full swing, the espionage work has already begun.
It is very rare to find an undercover agent like Lu Wenying who can completely possess the identity of a Japanese.
"Ms. Yingzi and Miss Li are classmates. What a coincidence. Let's drink to this fate."
After all the dishes were served, Lu Pingsheng picked up the red wine glass and made a proposal.
Wei Miao also raised the juice in her hand and clinked glasses with Sweetie. Little did she know that in such a short time, Brother Lu had completely uncovered the secrets of the beautiful Japanese girl next to her.
Kobayashi Sakura sipped the red wine gracefully and sighed slightly, "It's a pity that Masako is not here."
A hint of worry flashed across Wu Ziyang's affectionate peach blossom eyes, and then he smiled and said:
"Xiaoya doesn't like going out anymore, but it doesn't matter. I'll pack some dishes for her later. She likes the Queen's Soup and fried clams the most."
Xiaolin Ying smiled gently and comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu. I will stay in Shanghai and visit Masako often during my breaks."
Wu Ziyang showed her gratitude and introduced Lu Pingsheng and the others:
"Ms. Sakurako is a top student at the Women's Medical School. She completed all the courses in three years and is the best surgeon at Kanto Hospital..."
Wei Miao pricked up his ears to listen, but he was eating the baked snails skillfully with a fork.
Snails don't look appetizing when they are alive, but after being processed, they taste quite good.
But compared to these appetizers, Wei Miao prefers fried pork chops, fried sole, steak, and braised pheasant...
Hmm? This dessert called tapioca pudding is also good.
Next time I come, I’ll pack a few for the little gluttons at home to try.
The three adults were chatting animatedly, each with their own thoughts, but Wei Miao was the happiest person eating.
Seeing her puffing up her cheeks, Xiaolin Ying asked gently, "Didn't you have breakfast this morning?"
Wei Miao had a very good impression of Xiao Lin Ying, not because she looked 70% similar to him, but because she had the same aura as Brother Lu.
After hearing her question, Wei Miao swallowed the food in his mouth and then said:
"Ate."
Lu Pingsheng interrupted, "Don't bother with this kid, she's just a little foodie."
Xiaolin Ying seemed to think of something happy. She smiled with dimples and recalled:
"When I was young, I was also very greedy and never had enough to eat, so my mother would give me her share..."
Halfway through her speech, Xiaolin Ying paused slightly and continued:
"My younger brother is different. He has been picky about food since he was young. He refuses to eat many things, so in the end, I get all the food."
Although it was not obvious, Lu Pingsheng could still hear the difference between her two sentences.
One part is full of sincere nostalgia, while the other part seems a bit stereotyped.
He glanced at Wu Ziyang who was drinking, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was fine.
He was able to keenly detect this emotion based on his intuitive feeling after he confirmed Kobayashi Sakura's true identity in his heart.
In the eyes of normal people, there should be no problem.
Lu Pingsheng was curious, "Ms. Yingzi has a younger brother?"
Xiao Linying nodded slightly, "Yes, he is one year younger than me and is also in Shanghai."
Wu Ziyang said: "Sakura's brother is the same as you, he is working for the Japanese and is now in the military police."
In Wu Ziyang's eyes, Lu Pingsheng, like him, was very friendly towards both Westerners and Easterners.
That's why I introduced Kobayashi Sakura to them without any hesitation.
Xiao Lin Ying raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Pingsheng. She really didn't expect that this handsome and upright young man in front of her was actually a lackey.
