A Scout in the War of Resistance

Chapter 52 The Weather Forecaster

"Director Yang." Gao Quan raised his wine glass and touched the police chief, "This brother looks very kind, must he be a capable general under his command?" Both of them are in their 50s and 20s, and he is in his [-]s. Those who are less than [-] years old and call themselves brothers and sisters are not afraid of messing up their seniority.

"This is Chief Du of our Police Bureau. We have worked together for more than 20 years. Chief Du is a very capable policeman." After all, letting Lao Du know a major general in the army is not a bad thing.

"It turned out to be Chief Du Jing, come to Chief Du Jing, let's have a toast." Gao Quan raised his hand and waited for Chief Du Jing to clink his glass.

Chief Du Jing hurriedly stood up, touched Gao Quan, and drank it down.Old Du has been a police officer for so many years, who hasn't seen him?Since the de facto ruler of Linyi City wanted to make friends with him, how could he not know how to put himself in the right posture? "General Gao is a famous general who fought against the Japanese. He defeated the Japanese invaders outside Linyi City, and his reputation spread far and wide. Du Ruofei is lucky to know General Gao today. I am lucky for three lives." After finishing speaking, he poured another glass of wine and greeted Gao Quan with a glass .

After Gao Quan raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, he watched Lao Du casually pointing at the butter umbrella he was carrying, "Mr. Du, the weather seems to be cloudless today, why did you remember to bring an umbrella?" Is it for shading from the sun?"

"Hey, why are we policemen so delicate?"

"Old Du is a well-known weather forecaster in our bureau. He knows exactly when it will rain and when the wind will blow. Today he brought an umbrella, which means it will rain at noon today." Before Lao Du could continue, Director Yang cut off Lao Du's words, and quickly revealed the magic of Lao Du.Lao Du didn't look unhappy at all, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was really good.

"Oh? The weather forecaster?" Gao Quan became interested when he heard it, "Then tell me, Lao Du, when will it rain today? How big will it be? When will the rain stop?"

Old Du seemed to be proud of being asked by Gao Quan, raised his eyebrows, and was about to brag about himself, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Gao Quan's major general collar badge, and immediately became respectful again, and his speech was well-behaved, "I guess Now, the rain will fall after one o'clock in the afternoon, and the rain will not stop, and it will not stop for a few days."

"Hiss—" Gao Quan gasped, this thing is nothing to brag about, it's already almost twelve o'clock, one o'clock, which means that if we can't finish the meal, it will rain!And what Lao Du said was that the rain would not be light, and it would last for several days, that is to say, the possibility of sporadic light rain was ruled out.No wonder people have to take umbrellas. After eating, it will catch up with the rain when they go out!Gao Quan rolled his eyes and glanced at Director Yang, "Director Yang, is Lao Du right?"

"Yes, of course." Director Yang immediately patted his chest to guarantee Lao Du, "It's been more than 20 years, and I have never missed it."

"Why doesn't Director Yang bring an umbrella?" Yes, you know it's going to rain, why don't you bring an umbrella?Do you believe it or not?

"I," Director Yang looked at Gao Quan with helplessness on his face. "I really want to come. Didn't Brigadier Gao want me to discuss the defense of Linyi with you in the afternoon? Anyway, I can't leave. Why do I still need an umbrella? My family has left and I can't go home. People, it’s better to live in the city hall, Brigadier Gao needs to find Yang for something, so he can be there whenever he is called.”

Having said that, it is inconvenient for Gao Quan to get to the bottom of it.Then everyone had a drink.Gao Quan's du li brigade is now the absolute main force of the three armies. No matter how much the division commanders and brigade commanders don't like Gao Quan, they will not make things difficult for him at the wine table. On the contrary, they are very enthusiastic about Gao Quan and take turns He came over to toast and greet him, but it seemed a little suspicious that he was trying to find a way to drink him.

No matter how much Gao Quan drank, he couldn't hold back in such a high-flying battle.In addition, Director Yang was still thinking about the trouble Gao Quan had caused him to relocate the people in the city, and that day Gao Quan led troops to force many officials in Linyi to sign. When he was the police chief, he felt ashamed and scared, and felt awkward. For several days, he also wanted to avenge himself, so he encouraged his subordinates to police, and joined the ranks of drinking. Gao Quan can be regarded as drunk today.

The drink didn't end until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.Gao Quan, who was drowsy from drinking, was dragged to the mayor's lounge by the two Jin Hu Cai Feng.

As soon as Gao Quan entered the room, he immediately asked Jin Hu to open the window. It was already raining heavily outside.Gao Quan stared blankly at the rainy scene outside the window, "Kerala!" A flash of lightning illuminated the city in the rain outside the window.Gao Quan jumped up suddenly, ran to the window in a few steps, stretched out his hand out of the window, and felt the raindrops hitting his hand.

"Jin Hu, go and find the police officer named Lao Du who sat next to me at the banquet just now."

"Yes!" Jin Hu was about to go out, but Xiao Cai stopped him, "I'll go, you take care of the seat here." For the job, of course Xiao Cai is more suitable.

That night, old policeman Du was taken to Gao Quan's brigade headquarters in the city hall.Lao Du was still quite nervous about being brought here at night.At today's celebration banquet, not only did he lose his scruples when talking to Gao Quan later, he complained a few words about Gao Quan's relocation of all the citizens in the city, but he also joined in the final toast frenzy. The ranks of the encircling and suppressing army were filled with Gao Quanjiu.At that time, I thought it was quite enjoyable, but now when I was brought here, I was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat.Who is this?This is the current emperor of Linyi City, the actual King of Linyi.Saying that it will kill him is as easy as crushing an ant. Could it be that he wants to retaliate against his behavior at the banquet?Won't!What is the identity of the family?How could he have the same knowledge as a small police officer like himself?While cheering himself up, Lao Du walked into Gao Quan's office nervously.

"Old Du is here, please sit down." After Old Du came in, Gao Quan raised his head to greet him, then lowered his head and continued to read his documents.It's not that he deliberately wanted to leave Lao Du alone, it's that he really has too many official duties to deal with now.Although the citizens of Linyi City have all relocated, the geology, hydrology, fortifications and other matters in the city must be decided by him, the actual master of Linyi.

Gao Quan didn't come to an end until Lao Du and others were anxious.

"Old Du, tell me about your weather forecast. Since when did you know how to predict the weather?"

It turned out to be asking about this!The heart that Lao Du had been hanging around since he was brought out of his home was finally put back into his stomach. "General Gao, I'm not afraid of your jokes. How can I predict the weather? Director Yang is talking nonsense." When Lao Du said this, Gao Quan's face immediately changed. I have suffered from arthritis more than ten years ago. When it is windy and rainy, my legs hurt. The heavier the rain, the worse the pain, and the lighter the rain, the pain will be milder. I have come up with a little rule. After I got up this morning, my leg hurts urgently and hard. I guessed that it will rain today, and this rain will not be the same day. When I go out, I take it an umbrella."

It was rheumatoid arthritis!
