Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

Afterwards, Chen Ming and others followed He Yuzhu to a wooden house inside Shatou Village. They saw that the wooden house looked very shabby from the outside and had no image at all.

When they arrived inside the wooden house, the smell of damp and moldy wood made Chen Ming, Ning Huan and others feel very uncomfortable.

The location of this overseas security branch was more terrifying and rudimentary than they had imagined.

However, the hosts He Yuzhu and Tong Cheng did not care. They brought out plain boiled water, a few grilled salted fish, and a bowl of slightly rough sweet potato rice.

This made Chen Ming, who was used to eating big fish and meat, completely stunned. You know, the food in front of him was not for humans to eat, it was the kind that even dogs would not eat.

For this reason, Chen Ming looked at the food in front of him in disbelief and asked He Yuzhu with a puzzled look,

"Director He, you are kidding me, right? Is this your way of entertaining guests? Isn't this too exaggerated?"

In response to Chen Ming's question, He Yuzhu explained:

"Team Leader Chen, I know you may not be used to these simple meals, but these are all we have here."

Ning Huan, who was standing by, couldn't sit still after hearing what He Yuzhu said. He interrupted and apologized, "Director He, you guys don't eat these things every day, do you?"

He Yuzhu thought about it for a while and nodded.

"Yes, that's right, Deputy Director Ning. On weekdays, our food may be even simpler, without even salted fish."

Chen Ming and others were particularly embarrassed at this time, because they originally expected to eat four dishes and one soup, but now there were no dishes or soup, and there was only sweet potato rice and salted fish, which looked unappetizing and made them very uncomfortable.

He Yuzhu and Tong Cheng, who were standing by, were born into peasant families after all, so they could naturally accept such simple meals.

They very skillfully served each person a bowl of sweet potato rice, and then they picked up a piece of salted fish and started eating directly.

Just as the two of them were enjoying the meal, Chen Ming and the others showed no intention of eating anything else.

They are used to eating good food on weekdays, so they don't like this kind of thing.

Seeing that they hadn't eaten anything, He Yuzhu deliberately reminded them loudly, "Team Leader Chen, Deputy Director Ye, why aren't you eating? There's no village or store in this area. If you don't eat this meal, you won't have the next one."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said and their own stomachs growling, Chen Ming and the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and start eating.

But they just pushed it a few times symbolically and then stopped moving.

He Yuzhu, who was standing aside, saw through it but did not say anything.

....................

At night, He Yuzhu arranged a place for them to stay. It was a simple wooden house that was even a bit leaky. Even the quilt smelled musty, which made Chen Ming and others very disgusted.

Late at night, Chen Ming and others who couldn't sleep started chatting.

"Deputy Director Ning, what exactly is going on with this Overseas Security Branch? Are their conditions really that harsh? Why do I feel a little skeptical?"

Ning Huan was also suspicious when he heard what Chen Ming said.

"Team Leader Chen, what do you mean by this? Is there any hidden secret behind this?"

In response to Ning Huan's question, Chen Ming expressed his guess.

"I remember that there was a man named He Dong in 97 City who once stole the gambling license of your Ning family. Is that true?"

Ning Huan was very surprised when Chen Ming mentioned the gambling card. You know, this is a secret. How could Chen Ming know it? With this question, Ning Huan looked at Chen Ming with suspicion.

When Chen Ming saw Ning Huan's expression, he knew what the other party was thinking, and he immediately explained: "Ning Huan, don't get me wrong, in fact, this news was revealed to me by Director Ning.

According to the intelligence our headquarters had previously obtained, this 97 City's name is Ho Tung. He looks about 9% similar to this Ho Yu-chu. The two must have some hidden relationship. In addition, Ho Tung is very close to Lou Zhenhua, a wealthy man in 97 City.

So when you say He Yuzhu lives such a poor and miserable life, I will be the first one to not believe it. Even though he behaves so plainly in front of us today, I always feel that he is playing us.'

After hearing Chen Ming's explanation and analysis, Ning Huan was filled with doubts, because he felt that no matter how poor this overseas branch was, it shouldn't be this poor, so he began to believe what Chen Ming said.

"Then Team Leader Chen, how can we break the impasse?"

Facing Ning Huan's question, Chen Ming thought about it for a while and came up with an idea.

"Deputy Director Ning, I think we should just stay here and waste some time with He Yuzhu to see how long they can put on an act."

When Ning Huan heard Chen Ming's idea, he immediately waved his hand to refuse.

"Team Leader Chen, I thought you could come up with some good ideas, but this? Let us continue to stay in this godforsaken place? Do you think you can tolerate this dinner? Sweet potato rice with salted fish? If He Yuzhu treats us like this every day from now on, can you bear it? I think we should limit it to a week. If we really can't find any problems, we should go back early and stop suffering here.

Also, when you go back, tell Director Ning that I am ill and cannot be promoted to the overseas branch. Send me back to the headquarters as well. I don’t want to suffer in this place.”

Upon hearing this, although Chen Ming did not agree with Ning Huan's words, there seemed to be no better way than this at the moment, so he could only accept the other party's proposal.

"Okay then, that's it for now."

............................................

At this time, He Yuzhu and Tong Cheng came to the bed in the wooden house and pressed a secret compartment at the head of the bed, and a secret door appeared beside the bed.

The two of them immediately walked into the secret door and followed the stairs to the basement. The environment here was completely different from that upstairs.

If the upper part is a shabby house with a shabby quilt, then the lower part is the treatment of a five-star luxury hotel.

Fruits, Coca-Cola, all kinds of food, a big bed, everything you need.

However, the two of them did not rush to rest, but discussed what happened today.

"Old Tong, how are you today? Didn't those guys in the supervision team greet all 18 generations of my ancestors?"
