The man in work clothes took out a piece of tarpaulin and covered all the pockets and guns. This was done. Just like what he said, whenever you need to stop the boat for inspection, you only need to quietly throw these things into the water, and then they will no longer be visible from the outside.
Everyone walked into the cabin again. The man named Boss Duan turned around and asked, "Is it done?"
The overalls nodded and said: "Yes, you are ready. As long as you encounter someone checking, you can hide it in an instant."
Boss Duan said: "Okay, you have a while first." After that, he changed places with the overalls, looked at Fan Keqin and others with a smile, and said: "I won't ask what your brothers' names are, what you did. Naturally, I won't mention business. But from the looks of you, you must have made a deal, and Duan admires you very much." He said with his hands clasped in a quack style, and he cupped his hands toward them.
However, Fan Keqin was very satisfied in his heart, because strictly speaking, boat runners also belong to the Jianghu people, so there is nothing wrong with what he said and how he behaved.
Just watch him take out a few cardboards from his pocket, give one to each person, and say: "Brother, my current identity is running on this line, and what I do is to solicit passengers. This is the ticket." , five yuan per person, and eight yuan per person for a long distance, so what you all get is five yuan a piece. If someone does come to check, it will be easy to deal with it, and you will have enough tricks. "
Fan Keqin smiled and put away the ticket and said, "Brother Duan is thoughtful." After saying that, he handed the ticket to Hua Zhang. Their setting is the relationship of little lovers, so it is only right to put the votes together.
Boss Duan didn't ask any questions when he saw it, and said: "Everyone, wait a moment." After saying that, he came to the front of the cabin, came back with two large oil paper bags, put them on the seat next to him, and said: " It’s not yet dawn, so I must not have eaten yet. These are the pancakes and pickles I brought. If you don’t mind, brothers, I’ll deal with them! When we get back to Sichuan, I’ll treat you to some of the most authentic Sichuan dishes. Tasty dishes.”
As he spoke, he walked to the front and took a kettle and put it aside, saying: "This is boiling water, but there is no cup. You can just drink it upside down."
Zhao Debiao directly opened the oil paper bag, and sure enough, there were pancakes and pickles with radish skin inside. He first asked Hua Zhang to take it, and then he took one directly and quickly started stuffing it into his mouth.
Hua Zhang first held the kettle, tilted his head and took a sip of water. Seeing Zhao Debiao's look, he smiled and said, "Didn't you say you're not hungry?"
Zhao Debiao said: "Well, I'm just conserving my energy. I'm not really hungry." He ate another piece of pancake.
Seeing everyone starting to eat and drink, Fan Keqin did not move, but took out a pack of Pirate cigarettes produced by British American Tobacco, which is what many people gradually call Lao Dao cigarettes. But what he bought was high-end goods from the Laodao brand. He handed one to Boss Duan and lit it himself. After blowing out a puff of smoke, he asked: "Brother Duan, have you always been a boat racer? I see that your boating skills just now are very skillful."
"Haha." Mr. Duan laughed and said: "Brother, I think highly of me. Originally, I was not a boater, but I always used boats to travel around the country doing small business. But later I became a After starting a family, my career was not established, and I couldn't take women and children with me. Fortunately, brother, I had gone to school for a few years, so I started to make a decent living. Although I didn't have the freedom to work 9 to 5, It’s nice to go home and be with my wife and children after get off work. Later, I started working in this industry.”
He just gave a brief introduction without giving any detailed information. It seems that this is also a cautious person with a high sense of confidentiality.
After finishing speaking, Boss Duan asked Fan Keqin, "Brother, where are you?"
Fan Keqin said: "I think I know our rules well. I'm not like you. My wife and children were married before I started this business, and I'm still single. Just wait, things will get better one day." "
The two of them chatted for half an hour. Hua Zhang and others finished their meal and began to sit in their seats and close their eyes to rest. Fan Keqin ate and drank the rest, kept a piece of pancake, and returned the rest to others, but the boss said that he didn't need it. Before they received the task this time, they bought a lot of food as usual. These are all pancakes that can be stored, so there are still some.
The two talked again, and after smoking two cigarettes, Fan Keqin began to close his eyes and rest. He hasn't slept much, and sometimes he opens his eyes to look at the situation inside and outside the boat.
After waiting for daybreak, the ship arrived at Nantong and docked. This is what Fan Keqin meant. After all, they didn't bring much food or drink, and Nantong was relatively far from Shanghai. In addition, the ship carried enough fuel, so it wouldn't be a problem to sail to Nanjing in one go. However, Nanjing is now the home ground of the puppet government and Little Japan, and they will not stay as long as they can. Therefore, they did not enter Nanjing, but replenished a batch of fuel in Yizheng County, and passed through Nanjing without stopping.
As for what the situation in Shanghai is like now, Fan Keqin and others didn't have time to ask. They will know everything when they return to Chongqing. Now I just focus on getting on my way. So they drove along Ma'anshan, Wuhu, Tongling, Chizhou, and Anqing. When they arrived at Marujiang, they headed southwest all the way to Wuhan.
However, they did not stop the ship in Wuhan, but drove a while and replenished supplies in Dongjiang Village near Shahu. After that, there was no need to be cautious. We walked through Yueyang, passed Jingzhou, and then Yichang. We hurried all the way and finally arrived in Chongqing, and we arrived at noon.
Although it is a waterway, it is not smooth sailing. I encountered two inspections, one in the waters near Nanjing and the other in the waters near Wuhan. However, it went very smoothly. It can be said that there was no danger.
When receiving the message to stop the ship for inspection, a person quickly came to the stern of the ship. Without waiting for the patrol boat to approach, he sank the things into the river and that was it. Fan Keqin and the others had their identities, tickets, and other items, and they didn't bring any contraband, so it was easy for them to pass the customs. After the inspectors left, they found a free space, dragged the things out, and left them at the stern of the boat.
After docking, Fan Keqin asked Bai Fengtai to find a car and bring back some big bags to put submachine guns and other things. After he left, Fan Keqin turned around and said, "When we get ashore, we'll transport the things back first, and then we'll go out for a bite to eat before you go home."
