Tong Jia deduced from the "Outline of Modern History" in the RV that this time in Tianjin should be just a simple riot and there would not be a real fight.

But she knew it, but others didn't.

Thinking back to just now, whether it was Pei Yingxue or Gao Chong who came over, they both spoke in a panic and walked hurriedly.

If she appeared too calm and composed, it would seem suspicious.

Tao Junle watched Tong Jia pace around the room, so he walked up to her, took her hand, and wrote on her palm: "Sister, no matter where you go, I will be with you."

Tong Jia burst out laughing and said, "Of course. Lele, I admit that when I first brought you out, I wanted to go our separate ways.

But we've been together for such a long time, don't you even have this little bit of trust in me?"

Tao Junle immediately stretched out his hand and wanted to pinky promise with Tong Jia.

Tong Jia followed Tao Junle in fiddling with her hands, until their thumbs were firmly pressed together, and then a smile appeared on Tao Junle's face.

Looking at Tao Junle's smile, Tong Jia felt that having a younger brother who relied on her so much actually gave her a greater sense of belonging in this era.

She asked, "Lele, everyone feels like a war is about to break out. Even the teachers have almost run as far as they can.

If I don't leave, will people think my reaction is too calm, and will they suspect that I know anything about the inside story of this incident?

Especially since we came from the northwest."

Upon hearing this, Tao Junle frowned and started thinking.

About half an hour later, he took a pen and paper and wrote: "Sister, is it possible that we are so calm just because we came back from the northwest?

Because we have no father or mother, no relatives or friends.

No matter where we go, it's all the same to us.

If we stay in Tianjin, at least we still have a dormitory to live in.

If we leave Tianjin, we will have no place to live.

“Yeah, it’s not that I’m calm, nor that I know the inside story, but I have nowhere else to go, so I have to stay.

Alas! It was my own preconceived notion. Others didn’t know I came from the afterlife, so how could they possibly think so much?

"Lele, look how important you are. If you weren't here, I'd be stuck in a rut." After lamenting that she overthinks things, Tong Jia also praises Tao Junle, making him feel more involved in their decision-making.

Tao Junle looked at Tong Jia and smiled with great pride. Tong Jia touched his head and expressed his affirmation to him.

After that, the two of them did what they had to do as usual.

The next day, before dawn, Tong Jia and the others were awakened by the bustling sounds outside the dormitory.

Tong Jia opened the window and saw that the whole campus was filled with an atmosphere reminiscent of the Spring Festival travel rush in later generations.

No matter how cool and aloof the students were at school, they were all now rushing out of the school, carrying their bedding rolls and suitcases.

It was as if the war was happening inside the school and that one would be safe as long as they left the school.

Tong Jia shook her head, closed the window, turned around and asked, "Le Le, today's weather seems to be colder than yesterday. Let's eat mutton hot pot to warm ourselves up."

After Tao Junle nodded, he realized something was wrong.

Using hand gestures, he asked, "Want to eat mutton hotpot so early in the morning?"

Tong Jia nodded and said, "As long as we want to eat, we don't care about the difference between morning, noon and dinner.

Besides, we have a lot of beef and mutton stored in the RV. If we don’t eat some of it to use it up, it will take up space inside, right?”

Well, the things all belong to Tong Jia, and Tong Jia has the final say.

Tao Junle nodded, immediately got up and changed his clothes, then followed Tong Jia into the RV.

One of the two people used tools to cut the meat slices, while the other washed the vegetables and prepared the bottom of the pot. Soon, a pot of fragrant mutton hotpot was ready to be eaten.

After eating and packing up, each person took a book back to the dormitory to read, and then returned to the RV to change.

This is the rule that Tong Jiaxin set when we were eating hot pot just now.

Although Tong Jia speculated that there would not be any major problems, just in case, Tong Jia decided to minimize the time spent in the RV so as to save his life at the critical moment.

From then on, as long as there was nothing special happening during the day, Tong Jia would be the only one to enter the RV, and at night, the two of them would enter the RV together.

The main thing is that the time spent in the RV cannot be accumulated. Instead of wasting it, it is better to use it all up before the time is offset.

In this way, the two of them read books in the dormitory for a whole day.

In the evening, just as Tong Jia took out dinner from the RV, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

Hearing the knock on the door, Tong Jia said, "Le Le, you eat first. Gao Chong should be here. I can talk to her at the door."

Tong Jia would not want to hide it from Tao Junle, but Gao Chong has rules and some conversations can only be held one-on-one.

Tao Junle also understood and did not object to Tong Jia going outside to talk with Gao Chong, but he did not want to eat alone. He gestured at the food on the table and signaled Tong Jia to put dinner away first to prevent it from getting cold.

Tong Jia had no choice but to clear the dinner from the table and then went to open the door.

It was indeed Gao Chong outside the door.

Tong Jia closed the door and stood at the door with Gao Chong.

Gao Chong asked, "Comrade Tong Jia, what have you thought about what I told you yesterday?"

Tong Jia smiled and asked, "You already call me Comrade Tong Jia, do I have any room to object?"

Gao Chong also smiled and asked, "Jia Jia, have you really thought it through?"

Tong Jia nodded and said, "Although my personal strength is small, it doesn't stop me from wanting to contribute to a better future."

Gao Chong held Tong Jia's hand and said, "That's great! I knew I was right."

Tong Jia asked directly, "Since you came to see me yesterday and today at night, does that mean there's something you need me to do these days?"

Gao Chong nodded and said, "That's right."

Then she took off the cross-body bag on her shoulder and handed it to Tong Jia.

Tong Jia turned her head and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, she opened her cross-body bag to check what was inside.

But as soon as her hand touched the flap of the cross-body bag, Gao Chong held it down.

Gao Chong leaned close to Tong Jia's ear and whispered, "It contains our organization's brochure, which you need to deliver to Guisui City in Suiyuan Province within half a month.

There is a Dazhao Wuliang Temple in Guisui City, and the handover point is behind the statue of Altan Khan.

The person who will hand over to you will wear a pair of black leather shoes, white socks, a top hat, and hold the day's Suiyuan City newspaper in his hand.

You need to wear black cloth shoes, white socks, a blue silk scarf, and hold a Tianjin newspaper from last month.

The newspaper is already in your bag, just take it out when the time comes."

After hearing this, Tong Jia's pupils trembled.

She asked in disbelief, "Is the contact person so careless? He only recognizes people by their clothes? What if there is an event going on in Guisui City on the day of the meeting, and everyone is wearing the same clothes as the person I am meeting, or the same clothes as me, how can we recognize each other then?"

Just relying on newspapers? That would definitely arouse suspicion, wouldn't it? "

Gao Chong said: "There is a secret code for the meeting, but it is confidential and cannot be conveyed by me.

The code is sandwiched in the newspaper. Just take it back into the house and check it.

There's something I want you to bring back over there. When you come back, just give it to me."

"Okay. By the way, I want to take Lele with me. I'm worried about leaving him alone in the dormitory." After Tong Jia agreed, he also put forward his own conditions.

Gao Chong hesitated a bit and said, "Logically speaking... this is against the rules. But... Lele's situation is special. I'll go back and ask and give you the news as soon as possible."

Tong Jia nodded and said, "Then go ask quickly, and take this bag first, I haven't seen what's inside.

If not, I won’t go. If yes, give me the bag again.”

Gao Chong was speechless, but at the same time he understood how determined Tong Jia was to take Tao Junle with her.

But since she brought this cross-body bag out, she can't take it back because it's too dangerous on the road.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Lele's situation is special. He has limited literacy and can't speak. There have been times in the past when our comrades were on missions where they simply couldn't bring their children with them.

This time... just take Lele with you.

If there is a mission next time, I will report your situation in advance and see if the organization can arrange a good place for Lele in advance."

Although Tong Jia didn't think Lele would agree to separate from her, there was no need for her to negotiate with Gao Chong about something that hadn't happened yet.

So, she took the messenger bag back from Gao Chong and said, “Okay, we’ll talk about it next time.

Do you have anything else to say?

If not, I will pack my things and go to the train station with Lele to buy tickets tomorrow morning."

Gao Chong said: "I have said everything I need to say. You just need to remember the person you are meeting and your own attire, tokens, and the code in the newspaper.

By the way, those clothes are very general and are not limited to gender.

When you're waiting for a meeting, don't neglect your attire just because of your gender."

Tong Jia nodded. In fact, when Gao Chong talked about those wearing features, she had imagined in her mind that that kind of wearing style could be suitable for both men and women.

After seeing Gao Chong off, Tong Jia returned to the dormitory.

After closing the dormitory door, Tong Jia said hello to Tao Junle and went straight into the RV.

She checked the items in the messenger bag in the RV and found more than 30 brochures promoting the organization, two Tianjin newspapers, and two sets of templates for printing brochures.

The code was very subtle. It wasn't a slip of paper stuck inside the newspaper. Instead, each page was marked with a single character in small black dots, forming a line of poetry: "The land is high and steep, the West Hills stretching out for eternity; the gate faces the sea, the Sanhe River flows for eternity."

After Tong Jia found the code for the meeting, she sighed, "This code is quite meaningful."

The cross-body bag was placed in the RV, and she didn't plan to take it out until she found the target person.

When she came out of the RV, she saw Tao Junle sitting on the bed waiting for her with eager eyes.

Tong Jia touched his head, took him into the RV, and told Tao Junle exactly what she was going to do.

Finally, she said, "Lele, this time we go out, it might be very dangerous, are you afraid?

If you are afraid, then don’t go with me. I will let your sister Gao Chong…”

Before Tong Jia could finish her words, Tao Junle covered her mouth with his hand, rolled his eyes at her angrily, and sat aside to sulk.

Tong Jia asked: "Le Le, are you considered arrogant because of your favor? When did you become so irritable?

I just want to confirm with you again. In fact, I have already told Gao Chong that I will take you with me.

I ask you again because I’m afraid you’ll regret it later.

Okay, okay, I’m not angry anymore.

I promise you, whether it's climbing a mountain of swords or descending a sea of fire, I will take you with me, and I won't even ask for your opinion, okay?"

After Tao Junle showed an expression that said "that's better than not", the matter was over.

Just when Tong Jia was about to wash up and go to bed, to recharge her energy and prepare for departure tomorrow, Tao Junle stopped Tong Jia.

He took out an awl, a pair of insoles and a box of bullets from the cabinet, pointed at these three things and gestured to Tong Jia.

Tong Jia asked, "You want me to use a pair of insoles to replicate a box of bullets?"

Tao Junle waved his hands, took a shoe insole in each hand, put one on the bullet box, and put the other on the two pistols that Tong Jia had used last time.

Then he pointed to his throat and signaled Tong Jia to draw two silenced pistols in the shape of a pistol.

The size of the two guns was actually suitable for him and Tong Jia, but they were not silenced, so they were easily exposed when used.

Last time in the northwest, the couple was attracted by the sound of gunfire and followed them all the way to Rehe after seeing them.

In order to avoid similar situations from happening again, Tao Junle felt that he and Tong Jia still needed silenced pistols.

Although Tong Jia had never seen a silenced pistol, he was able to imitate it.

As long as she kept thinking in her mind that the pistol could be silenced when she was drawing it, the pistol would have that function when the time came.

Tong Jia first drew a picture on paper, and when she felt that it looked 90% similar, she began to poke the insole with an awl.

While doing the tattoo, she was thinking about the fact that the pistol could be silent, and suddenly it seemed as if she had an epiphany. She quickly asked Tao Junle to get her another pair of insoles. After tattooing the pistol and bullets, she wanted to wear two sets of full-body bulletproof vests with floating function.

Weapons of attack need to be prepared, and one's own defense must also be done well.

Although these things will disappear after the expiration date, she doesn't need them every day. As long as they can work during the mission, it's fine.

After two and a half hours of piercing the soles of shoes with awls and then connecting them with red lines, Tong Jia and Tao Junle were ejected from the RV because they had stayed in the RV for the day.

After the two returned to the dormitory, they looked at each other and smiled.

Tong Jia used her mind to take the insoles out of the RV and placed them under her pillow. She said, "Luckily, the connection is complete. Let's go to sleep. They should be ready to use tomorrow."

Tao Junle pointed at his own and Tong Jia's mouths and faces, indicating that neither of them had washed yet.

Tong Jia shook the thermos in the dormitory and said, "Let's make do with it today. We'll go back in and wash up early tomorrow morning."
