This year, there is no atmosphere in the New Year.

A red paper lantern hung at the entrance of the hall, which was blown around by the cold wind, and the New Year flavor was as light as water.

The fire blocked traffic, and Gu Yun only received a telegram from her mother.

The report was transferred to her by her classmates from Yuecheng, and her mother and sister thought she was in Yuecheng.

My mother said in the telegram: "The situation is too chaotic. If you fight in Yuecheng, you will go back to your hometown in the countryside. The key is at my uncle's house."

Uncle is her stepfather’s uncle. He and his fourth aunt are very nice to Gu Yun and his daughter.

Gu Yun asked her classmate to send a telegram to her classmate and asked her classmate to help her call back, just two words: "Know." She

I feel like I haven't reached that point yet.

The New Year's newspaper has a five-day break and will go to work on the fourth day of the Chinese New Year.

Yun received her first salary at the beginning of the year and thought about buying rice. The rice at home was bottoming out. She usually went back to cook at night.

"We have to buy rice quickly. The rice price is not the same as before the New Year, and it is probably going to rise." said a colleague.

Yun felt panicked.

After work, it was raining outside again. The rain was quite heavy, it was biting cold and the wind was blowing.

My clothes were wet by the rain. Thinking that the weather was so bad, I was afraid it would be difficult to carry rice home, and there were fewer rickshaws on the street.

But she remembered the words of her colleague.

The price of one meter rises again, her salary will not be enough for her.

Hesitated and walked to the door of the rice shop.

Cheng Xiang, there was a long queue at the door of the rice shop so late, and the young man shouted at the top of his voice: "One person buys ten kilograms, if there is more, I will get the ticket first."

When the ticket is on, the guy standing next to him will look familiar with people, and no one can buy them once.

Gu Yun, who was still hesitant, suddenly realized: If she didn't buy rice today, she might not be able to buy it.

She hurriedly went to queue up.

After a glance at the person who followed her again.

This man persevered, following regardless of the wind or rain. Gu Yun was afraid at the beginning, but now he felt at ease when he saw him.

Younger, with him, she is safe when she goes to work and gets off work.

She queued for more than an hour, from dusk to darkness.

When the young man saw that she was a thin girl, he said, "You can buy five pounds, you can't bear it if you have too much."

Gu Yun hurriedly said, "No, I want ten kilograms."

The young man had no choice but to give her a ten-pound ticket.

I went to buy rice. When I paid the money, I saw that the rice was three times more expensive than before the year, which was pretty good.

She held an umbrella in one hand and ten kilograms of rice in the other. She still had a pair of lonely high heels on her feet, and she was shaking.

Holding rice tightly, standing by the roadside waiting for the tram.

The tram arrived, and the nearest station was about two miles away from the alley where she lived.

She took the tram for thirty minutes, and when she got off, a woman took her three children out.

The children were all half-year-old and rushed towards her all at once. She staggered, sprained her high heels, and her feet hurt so much. The umbrella in her hand was swept away by the wind, and the rice was spread all over the floor.

Instead, the child's mother scolded her: "Don't you look at the road?"

Later, he greeted his child: "Be careful, the little girl is not useful at all on the rice in this field. She slips when someone steps on her when she walks. Will you compensate?"

Gu Yun's foot pain relieved a little, and the woman had already taken the child away.

Yun took off her shoes and looked at the rice bag, and only half of it was left.

A few beggars rushed up and grabbed the broken rice on the ground and they were all in a mess.

Gu Yun was stunned after realizing it, and her body was wet by the rain and shivered slightly.

I have long since lost the umbrella.

She held a small bag of rice, took off her shoes and walked home step by step.

If your foot is not seriously injured, it will be sprained. How can you not sprain your ankle when wearing high heels? As long as you take off your shoes, you will walk as usual.

It's pretty good news today.

I was walking barefoot in socks, and the soles of my feet were hurt by the stones on the road.

Every few steps Gu Yun took, he would stop and hold the street lamp pole next to him and let his feet rest.

The rain was still pouring on her, and the remaining half of the bag of rice in her arms was soaked.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly approached and then enveloped her.

Yun was shocked.

When he turned around, he saw the gangster from Hongmen walking over with an umbrella.

He didn't say anything, stuffed the umbrella into her arms, and then picked her up.

However, Gu Yun was so scared that he almost screamed. The rice bag and umbrella in his hand were about to land. She hurriedly hugged the rice tightly, grabbed the umbrella tightly, but instead forgot to be afraid.

She came to her senses and she was already in the other person's arms.

This hooligan is not very good-looking, but he is tall and strong, and his skin is darker than that of ordinary people, which makes him look particularly terrifying.

"Let me go, I can leave myself!" Gu Yun struggled.

Fang was very cold and tightened her arms: "I'm going to hand over the shift, who has the time to follow you slowly!"

Clusters of anger arose in Gu Yun's heart.

I really want to say: Since that's the case, don't follow her every day!

She is the victim, why does it seem like she wasted her time?

It's simply outrageous!

But where is Shidao reasonable?

Gu Yun has a soft personality and can't do bad things with her, so she endured it silently.

He is tall and long, and Gu Yun has to walk for more than ten minutes, and he will arrive in a few minutes.

At the door of the alley, he put down Gu Yun, took his umbrella rudely, and turned around and walked out without looking at her.

The successor has arrived.”

There is nothing wrong today." Bai Xiandao.

The companion shrank his frozen hands and whispered: "This ghost is so cold and wet! What's the use of watching her? Can't you use severe torture to force confession quickly?"

It is probably also to prevent fish that escaped the net." Bai Xian said.

These people are useless in the gang, they are at the bottom of the house, and they are also free to leave. It is better to find something for them to do.

Therefore, the companions felt that following Gu Yun was worthless, but in fact they ignored the fundamental reason because they themselves were of no value to the gang.

Xian gave a few brief explanations, turned around and left.

But his companion smiled and pulled him away, saying slutty: "You want to go to Haoxue to sleep again?" Bai

Xian said lightly: "Yes."

OK, go, you two are very affectionate." The companion said with a chuckle.

Xian frowned inadvertently.

It was not that this sentence made him unhappy, but that his companion's obscene and slick attitude made him feel uncomfortable.

Haoxue is a singer with her surname Bai and works in a dance hall.

The real boss behind the dance hall is Zhang Xinmei. It is because of this that he met Zhang Jiuye and became Zhang Jiuye's undercover.

They were both orphans of the Welfare Hall. They were not close when they were young. Later, when they grew up, they left the Welfare Hall together. They had never studied and could not read. What else could they do besides being a coolie?

When he was a child, he was called Shi Tou and Haoxue was called Sanya.

Since entering the dance hall, Haoxue changed both him and his name.

Changes are inappropriate.

What Haoxue gave him, he had to accept it, no matter how good or bad it was.

I also live in the dance hall, but not in Haoxue's room, but under the stairs in the storage room.

It rained so heavily, and it was the end of the year again, and the dance hall was still very lively. The French Concession in Shanghai felt like "the soldiers' army had a half of life and death, and the beauties were still singing and dancing under the tent."

"Shameless, I agreed to accompany me tonight!" After he approached, he saw Haoxue holding a guest and not letting go, and he was already drunk.

The man touched his hands and begged quietly: "I really have to go back, my brother-in-law will arrive tomorrow morning."

Haoxue didn't let go: "Take your brother-in-law, you are not allowed to leave anyway."
