Chapter 209: Men's Perspective
"Good job, keep monitoring."
Chu Lingyun replied that he was just a suspected Japanese spy and could not satisfy Chu Lingyun's appetite. Since he had obtained the intelligence, he would definitely report it, and the time for reporting might be within the next two days.
Chu Lingyun will only be satisfied if he keeps an eye on him, finds out the team leader behind him, and busts their entire group.
"Yes, Team Leader."
Chu Yuan stood up straight and left quickly. His hard work over the past few days was not in vain. He finally found the Japanese spy again.
At the same time, he admired the team leader even more.
The Japanese spies made arrangements in advance and placed people in the post office to take away all the remittance slips, leaving them with no one to investigate. As a result, the team leader immediately thought of the source of the investigation and compared the investigation list with the remittance location.
In Chu Yuan's mind, no matter how cunning the Japanese spies were, they were no match for the team leader.
As soon as Chu Yuan left, Niu Qiu entered the office. In fact, he had arrived just now and knew that Chu Yuan was reporting on his work inside, so he was waiting outside the door.
"Team Leader, we've only tracked down 33 of the 35 posters. We've verified the whereabouts of the posters, and three are missing. The rest have been found."
Loach was talking about the poster case. He is now helping the intelligence team and is jointly investigating the case.
Three of them could not be found, and the whereabouts of two had not yet been determined. There were only five missing posters. The half that the Japanese spy carried with him must have been from these five.
"Tell me the details."
"Of the three missing posters, one was taken away by an employee of the printing factory. He later claimed it was lost and stolen at home. The other two were bought by someone who said they were given away. Team Leader He has personally led people to verify who they gave them to. The two posters that could not be found were reportedly bought by a woman for a high price, but the printing factory staff don't know that woman, and no one knows where she went."
woman?
Chu Lingyun's eyes narrowed slightly. He had guessed before that the remaining half of the poster was most likely in the hands of a woman, and there was a 50% chance that this woman was Japanese.
"What does that woman look like and what accent does she speak with?" Chu Lingyun asked, looking up.
"So much time has passed. The people at the printing factory only said she was young and pretty. I can't remember her exact appearance. As for her accent, I didn't ask."
Loach replied quickly, Chu Lingyun thought about it and then stood up.
"Take me to the printing house."
There are some questions that Chu Lingyun needs to ask in person. If he always lets Niu Qiu and the others do it, he won't be able to get the answers clearly.
This case was a joint investigation, not just a pure assistance from their operations department. They had made some contributions after the case was concluded. Chu Lingyun did not take it lightly and treated it as his own case.
When going to the printing factory, Chu Lingyun brought Yang Jian with him.
The printing factory is in the west of the city, but still within the city.
This printing factory is not big, but because it has color printing business, its business is pretty good. Unfortunately, it has all the common problems that most factories of this era have, it is dirty and messy.
"Team leader, this is their factory manager, Shu Mingfang."
Arriving at the printing factory's office, Loach pointed at a cautious, bowing man and introduced him.
"Boss Shu, you said that a woman you don't know bought your two posters for a high price. How tall is that person and what does she look like?"
Loach and the others had been here a long time ago, so Chu Lingyun didn't hesitate and asked directly.
"Sir, it's been so long, I really can't remember what she looked like. She was quite tall, but I can't tell you exactly how tall she was."
Shu Mingfang said with a wry smile that he had been questioned many times in the past few days. He didn't know the identities of these mysterious people who came over, but they had guns, so he didn't dare to resist at all.
"Don't be anxious. Drink some water. I'll ask you slowly and you can think about it slowly."
It's normal for him to forget something after so much time has passed, but as long as he meets someone in person and asks them some questions, he might be able to recall some things.
"When did she buy the picture?" Chu Lingyun asked about the time first. Time is very important.
"About four months ago." Shu Mingfang sat there, holding a glass of water in his hand, and answered quickly.
He still remembered the time, but he needed to recall the specific day carefully.
"You bought the poster four months ago, after the movie came out, right?"
Chu Lingyun narrowed his eyes, and Shu Mingfang nodded immediately: "Yes, it's the posters we printed after the movie was released. Before the movie was released, only people who thought it was good wanted it, but after the movie was released, more people wanted it."
This is normal. People who have seen the movie and like the characters in the movie will definitely want to collect a copy of the poster.
While speaking, Shu Mingfang secretly glanced at Chu Lingyun.
After all, the cinema only asked for fifteen posters, but they printed fifty. Stealing and selling other people's posters is definitely a violation and unethical act.
Chu Lingyun didn't know what he was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
The cinema's posters had been checked long ago and nothing was lost. The half poster on the Japanese spy's body must have come from the printing factory. There were no such posters anywhere else except here.
But if the poster was bought after the movie was shown, it is very likely that the woman had seen the movie and particularly liked it, so she bought the poster.
Continuing to infer, it is possible that this woman watched the movie with the Japanese spy who was beaten to death.
This led to a connection with Japanese spies.
However, she bought two posters. As to why the poster was split into two and only half was left, further detailed investigation is needed.
"How much did you sell these two posters for?" Chu Lingyun suddenly asked.
Shu Mingfang was startled and said hurriedly, "Sir, I didn't sell it for much. They really forced me to buy it."
"We're not checking your taxes. Stop talking nonsense. How much did you sell it for?"
Loach suddenly shouted, Shu Mingfang looked at him and didn't dare to argue. These people had guns in their hands and looked ferocious, so he didn't dare to speak carelessly.
"If I sold it to someone else, it would be one dollar. She needed it urgently, so I sold it to her for two dollars each."
Shu Mingfang whispered, "Selling a poster for two yuan, this printing factory owner is really a rip-off. Although the current printing cost is not low, it is not that expensive."
The printing cost of the customized posters for the cinema was 50 cents per piece, but the printing factory quadrupled the price when selling them to this woman. No wonder they printed so many, apparently they wanted to make more money in this area.
"Did she bargain when she bought the poster?" Chu Lingyun asked again.
"No, she was very straightforward and asked for it directly."
Shu Mingfang quickly replied that it would be better not to continue asking him about the price, as these were all his business secrets.
"Okay, let me continue asking you, what was she wearing at the time? Was it too much? What color was it?"
Chu Lingyun guided the question, and Shu Mingfang didn't think for long this time. He immediately replied: "I can't remember her clothes, but the material is very good, and she doesn't wear them much, so they are very tight."
"Keep thinking, can you remember what she was wearing?" Chu Lingyun continued to ask.
After reminiscing for a while, Shu Mingfang shook his head carefully: "I really can't remember, I just remember that the pants she wore were black?"
"Why do I remember the color of the pants so clearly, but forget the style of the clothes?" Chu Lingyun frowned and continued to ask.
Shu Mingfang looked a little embarrassed, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Her pants are very tight, and her butt is very big, which makes her look very pretty."
Big butt? Just remember the color of the person's pants?
Chu Lingyun widened his eyes, but did not doubt his answer. They were all men, and he knew men's nature very well. Sometimes they would not look at what a woman looked like, but instead pay attention to her figure.
Of course, if she is particularly beautiful, that’s a different story.
Loach tried hard to suppress his laughter. Fortunately, there were not many people around, otherwise someone would definitely laugh out loud.
"How big is her butt and what shape is it?" Chu Lingyun asked again.
This time it was Shu Mingfang's turn to widen his eyes. He didn't expect that this young officer would be so gossipy and ask such a question.
"So big and so round."
Shu Mingfang stuttered and gestured with his hands, showing that his hips were obviously larger than his waist.
Loach was also stunned, and the gesture he made was quite large.
"Doesn't it look like a big peach?" Chu Lingyun said.
"Yes, yes, it's just like a peach. You are really amazing, sir."
Shu Mingfang gave Chu Lingyun a thumbs up, looking like a fellow traveler and full of admiration. He didn't know how to describe it, but this young commander hit the nail on the head.
Peach buttocks? Chu Lingyun has seen too many of them in his later life, so it’s not surprising.
However, natural peach buttocks are rare. Most women who want to have peach buttocks must go through hard exercise or even surgical filling.
Don’t even think about surgery in this era, which means this woman’s peach buttocks are most likely the result of exercise.
"Let's continue. How old is she?"
Although a woman's real age cannot be identified after she puts on makeup, it is still necessary to ask.
"In his twenties, definitely no more than thirty."
This time, Shu Mingfang recalled it for a moment before saying that if this woman's butt hadn't left a deep impression on him, he wouldn't have been able to remember so much.
I don't remember her age or appearance, but I have a clear memory of her butt. Apart from the characteristics of this woman's butt, her appearance was definitely not particularly outstanding.
If you are very beautiful, men will definitely remember some of you.
"Okay, where is her accent from?" Chu Lingyun was still asking, and Loach was full of admiration on the side.
He had asked a lot of people, including Team Leader He from the Intelligence Team, and had asked Shu Mingfang many times, but every time he asked, the results were all vague and they had no idea what the woman looked like.
Their team leader was really smart. He came here and asked for a while, and even he had a general image of this woman in his mind.
"accent?"
Shu Mingfang looked up in confusion and quickly shook his head, "She's definitely not from Nanjing, but I don't know exactly where she's from. She sounds like she has a northern accent."
Not a local, maybe has a northern accent.
Chu Lingyun felt more confident and continued to ask, "Did she say what she bought the poster for?"
"No, most people who come to buy posters do so because they like them. They won't say too much, and we don't dare to ask."
Shu Mingfang shook his head. He was selling posters to take advantage of loopholes, so why would he ask so many questions?
After Chu Lingyun finished his question, he instructed Niu Qiu, "Bring Yang Jian in."
Yang Jian had experience, so as soon as he came in, he found a place to sit down and set up his drawing board.
Chu Lingyun guided Shu Mingfang and he described slowly. After a while, a faceless, long-haired woman appeared on the drawing paper.
The most important thing is her back. Shu Mingfang has a deep memory of her background and her painting is the most like.
A typical peach butt. Even when looking at the drawing paper, Shu Mingfang still swallowed his saliva.
"That's it, sir. You're amazing. You can even draw this."
After saying that, he looked at Yang Jian again. He was also a talented person. Just by hearing the description that he could draw so realistically, if it weren't for the other party's special identity, he would have wanted to buy this painting at a high price for his collection.
"Don't tell anyone what I ask you today."
Chu Lingyun stood up, and Shu Mingfang hurriedly nodded in agreement. He didn't dare to say anything even if he was asked to, because he knew very well that the mouth can cause trouble.
"Team Leader Chu, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
As soon as Chu Lingyun came out, he saw He Xiangyang rushing in from outside.
This was a joint investigation. There was an intelligence team at the printing factory. When they saw Chu Lingyun coming in person, they immediately notified their team leader.
He Xiangyang did not dare to delay and ran over immediately.
"I came here to get some clues. It's not a big deal, so I didn't notify you."
Chu Lingyun smiled. This trip was not without results. At least he got some clues about the woman who bought the two picture books. Next he would follow the clues. As long as the woman was still in Nanjing, there was a high possibility of finding her.
"Have you found any new clues?" He Xiangyang's eyes lit up.
In the past few days, Xu Yi asked him about the progress of the case every day. The Intelligence Department originally had several clues, but through Chu Lingyun's analysis, only his was useful. Now the section chief was watching him every day, which put him under a lot of pressure.
"A little bit." Chu Lingyun nodded: "Get in the car, we'll talk in the car."
Taking He Xiangyang into his car, Chu Lingyun took out the portrait and told him the results of the investigation without reservation.
Looking at the portrait in his hand, He Xiangyang opened his mouth and couldn't close it.
A woman with a big butt might be Japanese, she has a good living condition, exercises regularly, is not too old, and likes to show off her figure.
With so many clues coming together, He Xiangyang felt that this woman was very close.
"Team Leader He, starting tomorrow morning, send more people to places where people frequently exercise, especially places where young people run, to look for women who meet the requirements. Also, focus on checking Japanese women in Nanjing, including teachers, students, businesses, newspapers, and even embassies."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll give the order as soon as I get back."
With a clear direction for investigation, He Xiangyang was very happy and looked at Chu Lingyun again.
This young man is really smart. He investigated for a few days without much success, but he came out just once and got a new direction and so many important clues.
You can't help but admit it, no wonder he can achieve so many successes.
"Be careful not to alert the enemy. Once you find the person, secretly take a photo and ask the owner of the printing factory to identify him."
"I understand. Don't worry, Team Leader Chu. I know what to do."
He Xiangyang responded happily. He was told the direction of the investigation. If he still didn't know what to do, he might as well quit being the team leader.
When it comes to intelligence work, the most frightening thing is having no clue, as then you can only watch helplessly.
Just like when they found half a poster before, they didn’t think of checking the printing factory. As a result, they couldn’t investigate the case further and could only put the poster away without any follow-up investigation.
Now that he has a specific goal, He Xiangyang is very motivated.
"Team Leader He, besides this woman, we can't give up on the other three posters we haven't found yet. We must find them."
Chu Lingyun reminded him again that there were five posters that had not been found, and he was not 100% sure at the moment that the one on the Japanese spy was related to the woman being investigated.
Intelligence work must be rigorous, and these three posters must be found.
By finding these three posters, we can be completely sure that the half of the poster on the Japanese spy's body came from this woman.
"Yes, Team Leader Chu, don't worry, I will check all the posters thoroughly."
He Xiangyang nodded quickly with a look of joy on his face. Deputy Section Chief Xie saw clearly that he had made the right choice by finding Chu Lingyun. Without anyone else, he had to rely on himself. Even if he thought of the printing factory, he was still groping in the dark.
Even though he and Chu Lingyun are at the same level, he now unnaturally positions himself as a subordinate.
It is inevitable that someone like Chu Lingyun, who is capable, young and has a good background, will be promoted in the future. Maybe one day he will really work under someone.
Having some incense now is not a bad thing for the future.
After returning to the Military Intelligence Department, He Xiangyang said goodbye and left, rushing to start the investigation.
The people who were sent out to collect the remittance records are returning one after another.
People from Peking and Tianjin have returned to the department and are working hard to compare the lists.
Such a comparison is troublesome, but fortunately they already have experience. They arrange the surnames according to the gestures, matching them one by one, and crossing out the ones that match in the record list. Those whose names do not match are suspected traitors.
The Japanese spies took away the remittance slip, which now seems to have helped them.
If there were remittance slips, they would need to verify them one by one, investigate their sources of income, and see if they were likely to have been subverted. Now that they knew the Japanese spy's arrangements, anyone whose name was on the remittance record but who did not have a remittance slip was basically a suspect, and there was no need for preliminary investigation.
Chu Lingyun could only say that being too clever backfired.
"Team leader, someone has released intelligence."
When it was almost time to get off work, Shen Hanwen came to report. With Chu Lingyun's warning, he was now extremely careful in what he did and did not dare to be careless at all.
Among the two people he was keeping an eye on, one spent money lavishly, and his expenditure was obviously higher than his normal income. There must be something wrong. This person was closely watched by Shen Hanwen, and before he could gain anything from him, the other person suddenly released information.
"This person's name is Jiang Naichao. He works in the Planning Department and is the deputy director of the Coordination Section. After get off work this afternoon, he went to a restaurant to eat alone. Afterwards, he went to the vegetable market and placed intelligence next to the garbage dump."
There are not many people in the vegetable market at noon, and the garbage dump is located in a remote area. Because it is particularly smelly, no one is willing to go there. The dead mailbox is located in a corner outside the garbage dump. There is a loose brick there. By moving the brick, the information can be put into it.
If you don't keep an eye on people, you won't even think of the location of a dead mailbox like this.
In order to obtain intelligence, the Japanese came up with many harmful ideas.
"Is the vegetable market easy to watch?"
"It's easy to watch. I have people disguised as two vendors at a distance, and I have arranged a few more people to watch from a farther distance. If someone tries to collect intelligence, they will definitely be able to see it."
"Very good. Keep an eye on the dead mailbox 24 hours a day. No one can discover your surveillance. If anyone comes to retrieve the information, keep a close eye on them."
Chu Lingyun nodded. It was easy to keep an eye on him during the day, but a little more troublesome at night.
But as long as we know the location, we can just keep an eye on it from a distance. Anyone who passes by or stays there will be subject to a detailed investigation.
Garbage dumps are smelly, so most people don't go there.
Shen Hanwen left in a hurry. Chu Lingyun asked him to report any progress, and he dared not disobey.
Another traitor was confirmed. He had already released the intelligence, and Shen Hanwen also checked the intelligence.
It was also handwritten information and there was no way to replace it, so the information was put back far away.
Their goal was not to capture people who came to obtain intelligence, but to follow the clues and catch all the Japanese spies in one fell swoop. The more Japanese spies they found, the greater the harvest would be.
The entire Operation Group 4 is now busy. Chu Lingyun did not go out and stayed in the office. If they encounter an emergency, they can find him and get support at any time.
At night, in a shack in the vegetable market, Shen Hanwen stared outside, not daring to blink.
The vegetable markets of this era were different from those in later generations. There were no specially planned rooms and counters. They were clean and tidy. At that time, the vegetable markets were mostly fairs. People usually set up stalls in the open air to sell vegetables and closed up shop to go home at night.
There are also some big vegetable vendors who, because they have a lot of goods, find an empty space and put their goods there at night.
There are no suitable residential areas around the vegetable market for surveillance, especially near the garbage dump, because there is a lot of garbage piled up here, which usually stinks. There are few people living here and even fewer people passing by.
Shen Hanwen couldn't find a suitable location, so he could only rent a vegetable vendor's shack for surveillance.
It is summer now, and it is not only hot, but there are also many mosquitoes. They dare not light any insect repellent spices or herbs. They can only endure the heat and wrap themselves tightly to reduce mosquito bites.
This kind of surveillance is very painful.
Not long after it got dark, Shen Hanwen's eyes tightened. Two homeless men came running over from a distance, rummaging through the garbage dump for a long time, and finally left with some things.
The garbage dump is smelly and most people don't want to go there, but it can provide some daily necessities for the homeless. Shen Hanwen did not expect this and could only wait patiently.
Fortunately, they only need to keep an eye on the dead mailbox at the corner, and anyone who has never been to the dead mailbox does not need to observe it.
After a while, another homeless man came, flipped through the door for a while and left.
The fourth homeless man also began to search, but he kept looking around. After making sure that there was no one around, he quietly moved to the corner and lay there pretending to rest.
His hands moved the bricks behind his back and took out the things inside.
Because he was blocked by his body, Shen Hanwen did not see his little movements.
But Shen Hanwen did not dare to be careless at this time. He stopped at the dead mailbox. As soon as he left, he immediately arranged for a tracking expert to keep an eye on him, while Shen Hanwen himself went to check the dead mailbox.
The intelligence is gone.
The homeless man just now was a Japanese spy.
The painful surveillance finally came to an end. It was good to have a target. At least he didn't have to keep an eye on this dead mailbox next time. Shen Hanwen hurriedly caught up with his team members and took his men to carefully keep an eye on the homeless man who took the information.
The homeless man was very alert and took many anti-tracking actions.
Because he was wearing tattered clothes and had a strong stench, the patrolmen he met on the road just kicked him twice and did not check him. It took him an hour to reach the slum area.
After arriving in this area, he did not forget to continue counter-reconnaissance.
Seeing him being so careful, Shen Hanwen could be sure that he was a Japanese spy. Shen Hanwen followed him very carefully, but when he saw him hiding under a shed from a distance, he suddenly became anxious.
There were many scattered dwellings under that shed, and there were also many small paths. If he walked faster, he might be able to escape their surveillance.
Instinctively, Shen Hanwen wanted to give the order to arrest someone.
But he suddenly remembered the instructions given to him by his team leader: he must not act rashly at any time and must report any action he takes, otherwise he would be sent to Hangzhou to study for half a year.
Shen Hanwen gritted his teeth and did not act rashly.
When they carefully reached the shed area, there was no trace of the homeless man.
Lost him.
Shen Hanwen was very upset. He had worked so hard to find the person, but in the end he lost him. He couldn't even see the person's appearance clearly. If he wanted to find him again, he would probably have to wait until the next time he collected information.
But there will definitely be a time interval before the next intelligence collection, during which any accident may happen.
"Collect the troops."
Shen Hanwen gave the order in a depressed mood. He had lost his man and had no way to report to his team leader. This time, the meat was taken from Chu Yuan's pot and fell to the ground, so he didn't eat it.
The most annoying thing is that I don’t know where the meat fell and I don’t know if I can find it.
Early the next morning, Shen Hanwen came to Chu Lingyun's office with his head lowered, looking like a child who had made a mistake.
"Team Leader, I made a mistake again. Someone went to get the information yesterday, but I lost him."
Shen Hanwen lowered his head and spoke in a low voice. He didn't dare to see Chu Yuan now. The other person was generous and gave him such a good clue, but he failed to do the job well.
"Please explain the specific situation."
Chu Lingyun's expression was solemn. Shen Hanwen had made another mistake? Making a mistake after being warned was unforgivable.
"Yes, we were stalking at the vegetable market yesterday..."
Shen Hanwen told Chu Lingyun everything that happened yesterday. After listening to him, Chu Lingyun's expression became much more relaxed.
Shen Hanwen was responsible for losing the Japanese spy, but the main responsibility this time was not on him.
Moreover, he did things according to his instructions. Even if he embarrassed people, he did not act rashly and alert the enemy.
If he suddenly arrested someone and caused a commotion that was known to the Japanese spies, Chu Yuan would probably have to take action in advance to arrest the person. Otherwise, if the Japanese reacted and realized that they had found the person through the remittance records, all the Japanese spies on the line would evacuate.
After saying this, Shen Hanwen lowered his head, looking as if he was waiting for anything to happen.
"I did a good job this time. I held my temper. Even though I lost the person, it wasn't a complete failure."
Chu Lingyun spoke slowly, and Shen Hanwen looked up in surprise. He lost the person, and the team leader actually said that he did a good job?
Isn't this irony?
"Take me to the place where the person I lost yesterday was."
Chu Lingyun stood up. With Shen Hanwen's ability, he could not do the next thing better, so he had to do it himself.
On the way, Chu Lingyun asked the homeless man about everything in detail.
"Go find the patrolman from last night. I want to question him."
After knowing that a patrolman had encountered a homeless man, Chu Lingyun immediately said it. Shen Hanwen slapped his head and thought that he had lost the man. How could he forget that someone had seen the homeless man face to face.
Two patrolmen saw him yesterday and it was indeed his negligence.
"Yes, I'll send someone to find them right away."
Shen Hanwen hurriedly got out of the car, found the team members following behind, and ordered them to go find the person, and bring him to see him and the team leader immediately after finding him.
When we arrived at the slum, it was daytime and there were quite a few people moving around.
Chu Lingyun did not go in, but watched from a distance with a telescope.
Most of the houses here are simple sheds. They are very damp, leaky and have poor fire resistance.
Once a fire occurs, it will inevitably cause a major accident.
Most of the people living here are poor people who have no other options or are penniless. For them, having a place to live is good enough and they don't ask for anything else.
Living here is better than sleeping on the street.
"Go find two sets of dirty clothes."
Chu Lingyun instructed that if they went in dressed like this, they would only attract all the attention. If they wanted to go in without attracting attention, they had to disguise themselves.
"Dirty clothes?"
Shen Hanwen was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood what Chu Lingyun meant: "I'll go right away."
After a while, Shen Hanwen brought two sets of dirty, torn and smelly clothes. He bought them from someone at a very low price.
Shen Hanwen wanted someone to wash the dirty clothes, but Chu Lingyun stopped him and simply picked up a piece of clothing and changed into it.
This kind of clothes is really uncomfortable to wear, and Chu Lingyun couldn't help but frown.
But you have to wear it. If you want to investigate Japanese spies, it would be absolutely stupid to walk in openly.
"You put it on too."
Chu Lingyun gave Shen Hanwen an instruction, and Shen Hanwen could only endure the discomfort and change into the tattered clothes.
It's not enough to just change clothes. Their skin is smooth and white, and you can tell at a glance that they are not from here.
Chu Lingyun took out a toolbox and disguised the two of them.
Although they don't look exactly like the people here, they are at least much more haggard, with disheveled hair and faces covered in dirt. If you don't look closely, they look very similar to the people living here.
"Let's go over there."
Chu Lingyun took Shen Hanwen into this slum.
At the intersection, Chu Lingyun bought some food from a stall. It wasn't good stuff, just some big, hard, dry pancakes made from mixed grains. Although it didn't taste good, it was filling enough.
There were a lot of water marks and mud everywhere on the ground. Chu Lingyun didn't care. Shen Hanwen could only follow him and let the mud splash on his body.
"He disappeared in this area yesterday."
When they arrived at the place where they lost the Japanese spy, Shen Hanwen immediately whispered, Chu Lingyun nodded and looked around.
After a while, he noticed an old man with white hair and skinny body. The old man was very thin and obviously in poor health. He was lying outside the house, breathing slightly.
Chu Lingyun took the pancake and walked straight over, and Shen Hanwen followed carefully behind him.
"Old man, how are you?"
Chu Lingyun squatted in front of him and asked with a smile, while taking out the pancake in his hand, breaking off a piece and handing it to the old man.
When the old man saw the pancake, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Chu Lingyun again, then carefully took it and took a bite.
"Thank you, I'm fine."
After taking a small bite, the old man opened his mouth to thank him. After he finished the small bite, he drank some water from the broken bowl next to him.
