The next day, the convoy was on the road, but Li Qinglin didn't see Xiaolin's cart. As expected, he was heading south.

Li Qinglin wanted to report Xiaolin's whereabouts to Pan Kewei immediately, but this town has no telegrams or telephone numbers, and the only way to communicate with the outside world is to mail letters.

Pan Kewei told him that long-distance mailing is the most unreliable way of communication. A letter was passed on by multiple people, and even if it was not lost, it was most likely to be dismantled by those who were interested. Therefore, Pan Kewei left Li Qinglin with a telegram address. Li Qinglin would send him any special urgent matters. There was also an emergency contact method, which was to report to the inspection sections of county-level police stations in Henan Province. There was Pan Kewei and their people there, and as long as Li Qinglin showed Pan Kewei's name, someone would definitely receive him.

At noon, he was near a county town. Li Qinglin rented a horse and rushed to the police station without having time to eat.

As Pan Kewei said, Li Qinglin showed Pan Kewei's name and someone immediately received him. He heard that Li Qinglin had an important situation report, Pan Kewei's people immediately contacted Pan Kewei through the police station's dedicated telephone line.

After listening to Li Qinglin's report on the phone, Pan Kewei first praised Li Qinglin's patriotic spirit, and then told Li Qinglin that he didn't need to worry about what happened below. Someone would find Xiaolin and follow and investigate him. Finally, Pan Kewei asked Li Qinglin to continue to be more careful and strictly prevent the infiltration and destruction of Japanese spies.

After Li Qinglin's call, Pan Kewei's people took the call and said a few words to Pan Kewei and hung up the phone. He immediately took Li Qinglin to the photo studio in the county to take a few photos. Because Li Qinglin said that Xiaolin looked very similar to him, they wanted to take Li Qinglin's photos to find Xiaolin.

Li Qinglin was a little amused and crying. These people looked at the spies according to their photos. Should they investigate Xiaolin or to investigate themselves?

When Li Qinglin rushed back to the convoy, the convoy was ready to go. Li Wancai was standing by the carriage and was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Li Qinglin didn't have lunch at noon, but was in a good mood. After all, he provided useful information now, which can be regarded as the real beginning of the anti-Japanese war. As for how Kobayashi is now, what he is doing in the convoy, he doesn't need to bother with this anymore. Anyway, Pan Kewei has taken over and investigated the Japanese spies. Pan Kewei should do his duty.

The appearance of Xiaolin in the convoy made Li Qinglin more vigilant, and he began to carefully observe the people in the convoy.

There were dozens of large trucks in the convoy, some carrying goods, some carrying people, some carrying sedan chairs, and some pedestrians followed the convoy. It can be said that the personnel came from all over the world, and their voices were spoken and spoken in the north and north.

After careful observation, Li Qinglin never found any unusual people again. But among these people, he found that one of them was very prominent, that was the red-faced "Yuan Dahushou".

The three-wheeled cart driven by Yuan Dahuzi is a rich man, and he is actually a long-term worker. Yuan Dahuzi has good driving skills, is very caring for mules and horses, and is very hard-working, so he is very trusted by his boss.

Yuan Dahuzi travels all year round and is well-informed. He has no culture, his language is extremely rude, and he is full of words, likes to be a father, a mother, and a grandmother. But he is eager to be righteous, willing to help others, generous, but does not eat or drink, and is very sensible in dealing with people. Therefore, no matter whether he is a top player or a shop, as long as he appears, he will form a circle centered on him.

The itinerary after that was calm, and Li Qinglin and the others returned to Wan'an County as scheduled.

Although Li Wancai went to Tianjin this time, his business was very smooth, but the journey was very dangerous. Li Wancai thought about Li Qinglin's hard work and thanked him for standing up in times of danger, and when he came back, he gave him ten dollars. With these ten dollars, Li Qinglin returned to Xiaolizhuang.

It has entered the twelfth lunar month and there is no work to do in the field. Li Qinglin’s marriage is also ready, and he is just waiting for Jiang Meizhi to be carried home in a sedan chair on the 18th lunar month.

Li Qinglin took this time to read the book "Mechanical Mapping" carefully. The machinery at this time was very simple, so this book was not complicated, and Li Qinglin could quickly understand it.

Theory does not mean practice. Li Qinglin made a concerted effort to measure more than 40 parts of the box cannon one by one with the purchased vernier caliper and draw them into parts drawings.

Li Qinglin flipped through books all day long, measured parts with a ruler, and then drew them on paper. Qian Duogui heard from Li Qinglin that he only needed to follow the drawings to produce parts in the future. He didn't dare to say it, but he didn't believe it at all. Qian Duogui has always made a rough shape of the parts by memorizing it, and then polished and modified it by comparing one by one. Now the imitation box cannon he made can be considered a high-quality product on the black market. He has always used this primitive method to produce it, and felt that Li Qinglin was talking about a dream.

Li Qinglin quickly produced a standard part by looking at the drawings, which made Qian Duogui stunned. From then on, he was convinced. Whenever he had free time, he tried his best to read the books he bought from Li Qinglin, asked Li Qinglin what he didn't understand, and then produced parts by himself according to the drawings. Over this period of time, Qian Duogui became an absolute technical school.

Li Qinglin dared not tell Jiang Xiuzhi that Qian Duofu had been killed. First, the news came from the Japanese Kobayashi, and it is difficult to explain the origin of this Japanese person clearly. Second, Qian Duofu is now alive and dies, and even if Li Qinglin said that Qian Duofu is dead, the Qian family would never believe it, and instead add to the verbal dispute.

It will be the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month in a few days. Li Qinglin and Li Wanquan and Liu Xiuzhen went to Wan'an Town to have a wine and food for the comprador banquet. Naturally, Li Wanquan and others will do the purchase and purchase. Li Qinglin went directly to Wantong Trading. Today, he came to receive the dividends and the other was to buy new stocks.

In recent years, every family has to buy New Year’s goods. This is the golden season for merchants. Although it is cold and freezing, Wantong’s business is crowded with people and the transactions are very prosperous.

The customers were picking up. Some of the guys were recruiting customers to move goods, some were weighing and bandaging, and they were still calculating the accounts and sing tickets. There was a table at the door of the store, and a gentleman was sitting next to the table. As the guys settled the accounts and sang the tickets, the gentleman's abacus was also "crackling". After the guy finished sing the tickets, the accountants' accounts were also calculated.

The accountant had a big money cabinet next to him. The cabinet was divided into two sides. While throwing in the ocean, copper circles and metal currency into the money cabinet, the sound of sensational impact was the most beautiful music in the ears of business owners.

Li Qinglin Wantong's business is very busy, and it is not good to take up other people's time now, so he went to a teahouse next to drink tea and snacks to kill time.

In addition to making tea, the teahouse in the town also sells some small snacks. The facilities inside are very simple. There are tables and stools in the store, and guests who drink tea and eat snacks are sitting by the table. On one side of the teahouse is a tiger stove. The firewood in the stove is burning vigorously. There are holes on the stove, and each hole is placed with a kettle full of water. The water in the kettle boils from time to time. The guy will change into a cold kettle and use the boiling kettle to make tea for the guests.

It was cold outside and dripping water turned into ice, and the teahouse was steaming and warm as spring. Tea and snacks were not expensive, and there were people coming and going here, so there were quite a lot of customers.

In order to attract customers, the teahouse often invites some artists to talk about and sing songs. Today, there is a person in the teahouse. Listening to folk artists to talk about is Li Qinglin's favorite in his life. He ordered a pot of tea and a few snacks, and sat in the store while drinking tea while listening to books.

Storytellers first say a short paragraph between formal storytelling. This is called a "book hat". Some are humorous paragraphs, most of which are dirty jokes. The picture is to rejuvenate the atmosphere and attract the audience. Li Qinglin came late and the "book hat" had already been said. Storytellers were holding a basket to collect money. After they were collected, they started to talk about the main storytelling.

Li Qinglin threw a copper circle into the basket and sat down to drink tea and listened to the book. Today, the storyteller talked about Yanshi Drum Book, which was about Wu Song fighting the tiger in "Water Margin". The storyteller talked very wonderfully, but Li Qinglin always felt that he was not as good as the one who was the sing of Sanxian for the first time.

After listening to this book, Li Qinglin felt that the time was almost over, so he paid the tea money and came to Wantong Trading.

The peak time for customers in Wantong Trading has passed, and Liu Zhengsheng and Li Qinglin met their boss. The subsequent things went very smoothly. Li Qinglin received a total of six yuan for the dividends. After taking the Ocean, Li Qinglin once again invested in Wantong Trading 50 Oceans.

Li Qinglin took Dayang and took the equity certificate and was about to leave, but Liu Zhengsheng grabbed him.

Liu Zhengsheng handed him five oceans wrapped in red paper, saying that Pan Ke brought him a wedding gift to him. At this time, the wedding gifts for farmers were very simple. They usually gave some agricultural and sideline products, and very few were given money, not to mention that there were as many as five dollars in the ocean.

Li Qinglin took Dayang and was muttering in his heart whether this spy was making any new ideas. Just as he was thinking about this, Liu Zhengsheng indeed took out a letter from his arms, saying that it was given to him by Pan Kewei.

In the letter, Pan Kewei first congratulated Li Qinglin, and then said that there were important matters to discuss after the Chinese New Year. He asked Li Qinglin to go to Laifu Inn, Wan'an County on the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, and he would interview Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin knew that what Pan Kewei said was either aimed at the Communist Party or dealing with the Japanese, and it was all troublesome anyway.

The "old" spy Pan Kewei is always in a state of dissipation, which makes Li Qinglin very troubled.
