Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 370: The Adventures of Shirone (middle)

The time turned back to the night of September 20th. Baigen clearly remembered that the moon was very bright that day, and a faint night mist was floating on the Jialing River. At that time, there were 17 people including him, riding on three sampans, crossing the Jialing River quietly, and transferred to a large wooden boat moored on the shore.

This is a single-masted wooden sailboat with a load of about 20 tons. It was already quite large by the standard at the time. Of course, it cannot be compared with those river ships with a load of hundreds of tons at every turn, but ships of this tonnage It can enter the tributary densely covered with shallow reefs such as the Qijiang River, and is the main shipping force between Sichuan and Sichuan to communicate between Yunnan and Guizhou water systems.

Under the response of several boatmen, Wu Dewei and his party climbed onto the deck silently, and were invited into the cabin by the ship owner's deputy.

This is the first time Shirane has boarded a traditional Chinese transport ship, and has been looking around curiously ever since I boarded the ship. The ship looks very old. History has left a deep mark on her mottled deck wall. It can be seen that the ship owner has performed some maintenance on her recently, and it is easy to distinguish which structure it originally had. , And what are the new patches.

Shirane and others were taken into the rear cabin, while Wu Dewei was invited into the owner's room alone at the top of the corridor.

"Brother Wu, you really are a punctual person." The ship owner looked over fifty years old, with a blue cloth wrapped around his head, a blue cloth short coat, and a moon-white vest inside. Wearing a pair of knee-length trousers, half of the muscular calf is exposed under the trousers, and a pair of exquisitely crafted straw sandals with cloth on the feet.

"Thanks to the award, Boss Qi is here as promised, and he is also a trustworthy guy." Wu Dewei greeted him with a fist.

"Those who eat our bowl of rice talk about the word "Xinyi". These days are not easy, and people's hearts have become darker. I don’t talk about this. Brother Wu, we talked about it before... "Boss Qi picked up a hookah from the table and rubbed his fingers with his left hand.

"Don't worry, since Boss Qi talks about loyalty, of course I also keep my promise."

Wu Dewei looked at the left and right sides, then untied his shirt, revealing a wide cloth belt wrapped around his waist and abdomen.

Unfastened the carefully tied rope buckle and took off the cloth belt. Wu Dewei first held it in his hand and measured it, then stepped forward and placed it on the table next to the owner.

"This is twenty taels. I will give you the remaining twenty taels when you get to the ground." Wu Dewei smiled and said to the owner.

The ship owner lifted the strap with his fingers and took a look. Under the kerosene lamp, the gold bars gleamed charmingly.

"Brother Wu, there is something I want to ask you." Boss Qi covered the cloth tape casually, and the detective picked up a piece of paper from the table.

"But it's okay to ask." Wu Dewei replied.

"Look at my brain, you are a guest, please sit down and talk." Boss Qi only seemed to think of giving up his seat to Wu Dewei at this time.

"Xie Qi Lao." Wu Dewei quickly walked to the table and sat down on a square stool.

At this time, he was in the Dragon Shoal and the tiger fell to Pingyang. When he reached someone else's land, he could only be at the mercy of the other person. He knew the truth very well.

Wu Dewei knew that he was responsible for the big case of splashing the sky, once it fell into the hands of the government, there would be no place to bury him. If it is delayed for another day, the government's reward announcement will cover the entire mountain city, and by then, none of these people in the rivers and lakes can be trusted. Therefore, Wu Dewei must leave in time tonight. As long as the ship enters the Yangtze River, the people on this ship will be completely isolated from the outside world. Only then can he truly feel at ease.

"Listening to the rumors on the street, someone paid a lot of money and wanted to find a group of people. It is said that there were more than a dozen soldiers with a Japanese." Boss Qi finished speaking, blowing up the paper media. Point it on the cigarette holder of the hookah.

Wu Dewei immediately felt his heart when he heard the words, even the hairs on his back were erected, but on the surface he still looked at Boss Qi with a calm expression, and at the same time raised Erlang's legs leisurely.

"Since Boss Qi asked, I will tell the truth, it is indeed me who is looking for on the street."

"Brother Wu, you are pushing me into the firepit. Brother Pao has rules and can do any business. Even if you have a feast with the government, we can help you hide it, but there is one thing, this betrayal The ancestor’s business must not be done. Once one of them is violated, it is necessary to open the Xiangtang, three knives, six holes, seventy-two cuts, and a sky lantern to cut the skull..." Boss Qi stopped here. Continue to tap the hookah.

"Boss Qi, I know I’m wrong if I lied to you, but you have also seen that brothers are really desperate, so they will ask you. If Boss Qi feels that this business cannot be done, then please ask the boss. Let us go ashore, and we will find a way out. I don’t want all the gold, including the previous deposit, even if it is used as compensation for you, what do you think.” Wu Dewei said to Boss Qi with a bleak expression, but his right hand Moving quietly towards the trousers.

"Brother Wu, if you say this, don't you hurt the friendship we formed these days." Boss Qi looked a little angry, and he put the hookah on the table heavily.

"You think of Lao Tzu as someone, do I betray my friends for tens of thousands of oceans?"

"Like, it's so alike." Wu Dewei thought to himself, of course he wouldn't speak out in person, but pretended to be panic, stood up and held his fist and bowed to Boss Qi to apologize.

"I was talking nonsense and offended Boss Qi. It really shouldn't be."

"Huh, that's it. It's too late to say anything. Since I've been implicated in this matter, even if I'm covered in mouth, I can't explain it now. Taking you out to receive the reward will damage my reputation. At the moment, I can only lay down my life to accompany you and see if I can find a way to survive." Boss Qi picked up the hookah again.

"That's great, Qi Laoguo's true meaning is thin, and Wu and his brothers are saved from danger. Wu is grateful." Wu Dewei bowed his salute again.

"However, it doesn’t matter if I am alone, but my brothers, but all of them have a family, and the whole family depends on their hard money to support them. Once something happens The whole family was ruined, so you can't help but give me some explanations." Boss Qi slowly lowered his head and said, and the corner of his eye glanced at Wu Dewei.

"Yes, yes, it should be, of course, some explanations are needed, but I don't know, Mr. Qi...what should be more appropriate." Wu Dewei asked respectfully.

"Brother Wu, you are trying to understand and pretend to be confused... Okay, I won't go around with you anymore. Our brother Robo talks straight and straight, and I won't ruin you. Give this number and I will cover you. We arrived at Guojiaping without any problems.” Boss Qi stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

"Four hundred taels? This..." Wu Dewei showed a little embarrassment on his face.

"Why, too much?" Boss Qi widened his eyes.

"No, no, not much, the price is very reasonable." Wu Dewei quickly waved his hands to deny.

"It's just that I don't have that much money in my hands, but I have it in the bank, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get it until Yichang." Wu Dewei replied with a sad face.

"Is Gegui son entertaining Lao Tzu? Arrived in Yichang? You left after disembarking at Guojiaping, where will Lao Tzu look for you." Mr. Qi patted the table.

"It's really wronged. How dare I entertain you. In fact, you can go to Yichang with me when you are old. You know, I brought a Japanese with me. That's the young master of a Japanese noble family, his father It is the people around the Japanese emperor. The family has Jinshan Yinshan. At that time, it will not only be the bounty of his family, but the Japanese military will also give you a lot of money for saving their people." Wu Dewei leaned forward and eagerly Speaking of.

"If you don't believe me, you can take a few more people with you." Seeing Boss Qi's expression hesitated, Wu Dewei hurriedly persuaded him.

The old man waved his hand, stood up and paced back and forth in the cabin.

"All the guys you brought with me must be kept by me." Boss Qi stood still and turned his face to Wu Dewei and ordered.

"No problem."

"The money is treated as a settlement allowance for the brothers, not included in the four hundred taels."

"This..."

"Reluctant?" Boss Qi frowned.

"Where, it's all up to you." Wu Dewei nodded obediently.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's make a note." Boss Qi walked to the table, opened the study box on the table, and took out a piece of rice paper and placed it on the table.

"Yes, I'll make a copy right away." Wu Dewei stepped forward to ~IndoMTL.com~ and picked a wolf's head in the box. A pool of good ink has been researched in the inkstone on the side. Obviously the other party has already been Be prepared.

"Now let your old dog be happy for a few days. When it comes to the Japanese territory, I want you to kneel and beg me to spare your dog's life." Wu Dewei clenched his teeth secretly and put his pen on the letter paper. Write on it.

Fifeo Baie had no idea that Battalion Wu was in the cabin behind him, humiliatingly signing the alliance under the city. The Japanese navy lieutenant now feels a little uneasy. Since he got on the ship, he has always felt that there are invisible eyes around him, watching him all the time.

The curtains are all down, and the cabin is a bit sultry. Every piece of wood here exudes the stench of river water. Lieutenant Shirane is looking forward to the ship’s early sailing, so he can run to the deck to breathe some fresh air. .

This is an inland cargo ship, so there is not much living space in the stern compartment. Shiragen can only squeeze in a cabin with Adjutant Liu and three horses. He and Adjutant Liu can each have a half-meter wide bed. A soldier can only curl up and sleep on the floor.

Shirone put his luggage on the end of the bed, ready to find something to read to relieve boredom. At this moment, there was a busy footsteps on the deck outside, and the ensign suddenly raised his head nervously.

"Don't worry, they are the sailors on the ship. They are making preparations for the voyage. We are about to set off, Lieutenant." Lieutenant Liu explained to Baigen,

Feifu Shirane breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Thanks a lot to all the book friends.
