Crossing the book to escape famine, poor little guy does not become cannon fodder reference group

"Sir, would you like to try it on?" The waiter smiled very standardly and it was obvious that he had received professional training.

Song Pan'er shook her head. She didn't reach out to touch it. She just took a careful look and asked the waiter, "How much is this?"

The waiter didn't think she would buy anything, and the reason he was so polite was that he was worried about where she came from. You know, the warlord Zhao Dadao came to Guangzhou, and it was said that he brought his nine concubines and a dozen children with him.

But he still smiled and replied, "100 silver dollars."

Song Pan'er hummed, "In Yangcheng, how many silver dollars can a small yellow croaker be exchanged for?"

The waiter continued holding the brooch, "A small yellow croaker can be exchanged for 50 silver dollars."

Song Pan'er didn't hesitate, "Okay, please help me wrap this brooch."

A flash of surprise flashed across the waiter's eyes, but for this job that paid him fifteen silver dollars a month, he had practiced smiling countless times in front of the broken mirror at home. He nodded slightly, maintaining the same attitude as before, and said, "Is there anything else the sir needs?"

Song Pan'er glanced around at the items in the window, but found nothing of interest, so she simply shook her head and said, "No more."

The waiter nodded again, "Okay, please follow me. The bill is on the second floor."

Song Pan'er put her hands behind her back and went upstairs with the waiter to pay the bill. When she passed by two foreign men who were looking at snuff bottles, she moved her ears and listened to their conversation for a while.

Then he went upstairs calmly.

The cashier was a middle-aged man in a suit and glasses. Song Pan'er rummaged through the pockets of his overalls, pulled out two small yellow croakers, and handed them over. Then he pulled out a handful of silver dollars and asked, "Can you change some silver and copper coins for me?"

For a distinguished guest who consumed two small yellow croakers at once, the other party naturally did not refuse and even gave her a small plain cloth bag to hold the silver and copper coins she had exchanged.

Before going downstairs, Song Pan'er took out a silver coin from a small cloth bag and handed it to the waiter, "Thank you for your service."

The waiter took it flattered, "It's my honor to serve you."

……

……

After coming out of the foreign company and walking more than ten meters away, Song Pan'er could still feel the gazes from behind.

She turned around and saw the waiter still standing at the door, smiling and watching her go.

She didn't care and turned around to disappear among the passers-by.

What she didn't know was that not long after she left, the waiter secretly made a few gestures to the teahouse diagonally opposite, and two people in navy blue gowns quickly walked out of the teahouse and quickly chased in the direction she left.

Song Pan'er put the things she bought and the cloth bag containing her money into the supermarket, leaving only some copper coins and silver dimes in her overalls pocket. When she met a child selling newspapers, she spent two copper coins to buy a copy of "Yangcheng Daily". She took the newspaper into a Western restaurant.

Seeing her and a child come in, the waiter of the western restaurant immediately came forward to greet them.

The restaurant is right next to the concession, and there are many children living in the concession who come here to eat alone. He has become accustomed to it.

Although the child was dressed ordinary, she was wearing a pair of black leather shoes. You have to know that children from ordinary families could not afford such a luxury as leather shoes.

Before the waiter could even speak, Song Pan'er looked up at the stairs leading to the second floor and asked, "Is there any window seat upstairs?"

The waiter nodded, "There are still some."

Song Pan'er took out a silver coin and handed it over, "Please help me find a place with a better view. I want to see the scenery outside the window."

The waiter took the silver coin with both hands and couldn't help but wonder about her identity.

Like the waiter at the foreign company before, he suspected that Song Pan'er was the daughter of warlord Zhao Dadao.

Song Pan'er was a stranger, but she was generous and dignified. Ordinary families could not raise such a child, only powerful warlords could.

The only person who has been making a lot of noise recently is Zhao Dadao, who just took over Yangcheng.

I heard that Zhao Dadao’s wife is a princess.

The waiter led Song Pan'er upstairs, thinking that she was most likely Zhao Dadao's legitimate daughter.

There were not many people on the second floor, and Song Pan'er was led by the waiter to sit in the seat with the best view. Sitting there, she could take in the entire street scene.

After ordering a medium-rare steak and a fruit salad, Song Pan'er leaned against the window, looking at the two men in long gowns looking around on the street, and smiled slightly.

He is so impatient that he should not be on Chen Anguo's side.

Then who could it be?

Watching the two men in long gowns leave, Song Pan'er sat down on the soft sofa and began to read the newspaper she had just bought.

There was nothing special in the newspaper. The headline on the front page was about warlord Zhao Dadao spending a lot of money at the Paramount.

A black and white photo is also attached.

In the photo, a short middle-aged man in military uniform with a big belly is holding a cheongsam woman who is half a head taller than him and has a greasy smile on his face.

Song Pan'er looked at the woman in cheongsam and remembered that the one she saw sitting in the rickshaw in the alley before seemed to be her.

Unfortunately, Song Pan'er didn't know much about the situation here. She only knew that Chen Anguo and his men were transporting medicine and food to the base in Yancheng at that time.

I heard that the comrades over there are in urgent need of food and medicine.

She decided to go to Chen Anguo's Chinese medicine clinic after dinner to see what the current situation was.

Steak and salad were served on the table. Song Paner had a full meal, then drank a bottle of soda before paying the bill and leaving.

After coming out, she found an empty corner, went into the supermarket, changed into an inconspicuous slanted-collar top and trousers, let her hair down and braided it into two braids, painted her face and hands black with dark foundation, and then came out carrying a cloth bag.

Not long after walking, I ran into two young men in short coats who were looking for someone.

Judging from the height of their eyes, they must be looking for a child.

Song Pan'er guessed that these two people were probably looking for her as well.

It’s just unclear which force these two people belong to?

She really didn't understand. She had just been here for less than a day and two groups of people were chasing her.

Was it for money? Or for her as a person? Or was it something else?

She pretended to be casual and passed by the two men. When they left, she followed them slowly.

The reason why he followed these two people instead of the two men in long gowns was because these two people did not look like specially trained people. The two men in long gowns looked more well-trained and most likely came from a certain organization.

Song Pan'er followed them around the street, from the area next to the concession to the mixed neighborhood across the street.

She had a vague guess in her mind, but it was not certain yet, so she needed to continue tracking.

After walking for about half an hour, the two men came to a secluded alley and knocked on the back door.
