Longqi 1924

Chapter 451 The same fallen man at the end of the world

The night is as dark as ink, and only the occasional stars in the sky are looming, which makes people feel a little relaxed.

Liu Xiao has been hiding in the old firewood house of a distant relative in the suburbs of Shanghai for more than half a month. At this time, he is not as brilliant as his usual suit and leather shoes. The fall to such an awkward level surprised his rich and unrestrained distant relatives who used to envy him very much.

In fact, even Liu Xiao himself was stunned!

Liu Xiao, who has always been a petty capitalist, returned from studying abroad three years ago. His family has always been rich and talented, which makes him rich and good at making friends from all walks of life. It is very comfortable to hang out in this prosperous Shanghai beach.

Although Liu Xiao is bold, he has always had his own bottom line, that is, he will never touch certain bottom lines, such as underworld, such as politics. It is precisely because of his consistent neutral position on various occasions that he is like a fish in water, whether he is in the so-called upper social place or in the grassroots class.

The riot that caused a sensation in the country more than a month ago did not attract Liu Xiao's attention at the beginning. In his opinion, it was just a wrestling between two different political forces, which had nothing to do with him, an ordinary Shanghai citizen.

At first, it was the same. He was still working hard in the foreign business during the day. At night, because of the tension of the atmosphere and the curfew, he listened to the melodious phonophono in his house and tasted delicious foreign wine. Everything was as quiet and peaceful as usual.

The turning point and sudden change of the matter was that one evening, a good drinking friend he knew suddenly hid in his house. Liu Xiao, who knew the details of the other party, retained the other party righteously. He felt that his friend must have been wronged. In this case, it was better to reach out his hand. Who wouldn't encounter anything bad?

It was not until one day when a large group of military policemen suddenly broke into the door that Liu Xiao knew that things did not seem to be as simple as he thought. In the face of the police who were like wolves and tigers who were dedicated to positioning him as his accomplice, Liu Xiao knew that he seemed to be involved in a complex political incident.

Fortunately, as soon as something happened to Liu Xiao's side, his family got the information. After looking around for a relationship and paying a huge amount of insurance, Liu Xiao was released from the unbearable cage.

If it ends like this, with Liu Xiao's ability, it is not difficult for him to continue to hang out in this big Shanghai. The problem is that it seems that when you see a big fat sheep caught, there are always people from different departments who repeatedly intimidate Liu Xiao, so that they will not give up without squeezing this fat sheep.

Liu Xiao, who had experienced this matter, felt helpless for the first time in his life. Finally, when he couldn't stand it, he asked his friend to send his parents back to his hometown. Under the supervision of those rich wolves who cannibalize people and don't spit out bones, they used the air to get rid of each other and disappeared in this vast Shanghai from then on.

This is not over. Although Shanghai gradually began to restore the order in the market after the incident, the military and police still did not relax the arrest of dissidents at that time. Liu Xiao's escape was a rare opportunity to take advantage of, but after the escape, he was already penniless, and the days of hiding in Tibet were very embarrassing.

It's hard to hide with his distant relatives in the suburbs, but it has been a long time, not to mention the pressure on life of relatives who are not rich. Even Liu Xiao himself feels like living like a year. Of course, he is not like an underground mouse. Hide.

Liu Xiao decided that he could not go on like this. Since Shanghai no longer has his own place to live, he simply left here. Doesn't the world have his own foothold?

With the help of his relatives, Liu Xiao figured out that there is a freight terminal nearby. Although it is not in the concession, the environment here is quite good. Liu Xiao thought, anyway, those military police on the road are so strictly monitored that it's better to lurk out of the water like this.

Today is the time when Liu Xiao decides to take action. Now he no longer has the unrestrained appearance of the Shanghai petty bourgeoisie in the past. He takes off his suit, leather shoes and leather shoes and gives them to his relatives, and changes into earthen clothes and old cloth shoes that are already muddy.

Although the dark night covered Liu Xiao from the attention of people nearby, it caused him a lot of trouble. I don't know how many fell in the potholes in the field.

Fortunately, there was no danger all the way. Avoiding the shadows under the light of the dock gate, Liu Xiao finally entered the depths of the dock.

Liu Xiao noticed that this is a small freight terminal. It was already early in the morning, but it was still busy here.

Liu Xiao is carefully observing the movement here. He doesn't want to be found by negligence. If that kind of scene really appears, it will be over. It's a small matter to be arrested and put back into prison, but he knows that this kind of dock has always been controlled by gangs. Once he is subjected to violence or even lynching, the consequences will be even worse.

Liu Xiao, who has been hiding in the dark corner for a long time, has never found a suitable opportunity. He is a little anxious. The sky seems to be a little white. If he can't find a boat to hide, he will be in trouble.

Just as Liu Xiao summoned up his courage to get on the boat casually and left here first, there was a faint voice not far away.

"Mingli, my brother-in-law will send you here. You have to take care of your health when you go to Nanyang this time!" The voice of a calm middle-aged man floated by the wind.

"Brother-in-law, it really bothered you a lot this time. Without you and Boss Rong, my life would really be gone!" A young voice was choking.

Liu Xiao's heart moved. Is it another person who has the same experience as himself?

Hearing the sound of gently patting on the shoulder, the middle-aged man's voice was full of bleakness: "Don't do this, Mingli, your brother-in-law and your sister have seen clearly over the years. This time you have indeed suffered a reckless disaster. Those damn guys are simply holding chicken feathers as tokens, simply arresting people indiscriminately to accumulate money!"

It seems that it's not the time to say such angry words at this time. The middle-aged man sighed softly, "However, how can you know whether it's a blessing or not!" If you go to Boss Chen this time, maybe it's really the biggest opportunity in your life!"

Perhaps it was affected by the mood of my brother-in-law, and the voice of the young man named Mingli was much more powerful than just now: "Brother-in-law, do you think Boss Chen has developed so well now. Will he pay attention to me if I am an unknown person?"
