The weather is a bit gloomy today, and it looks like it's going to rain.
Xiao Xinghua received a call early in the morning and came to Meng Shaoyuan's home to help him shave his head and trim his face.
From the eyelids to the chin, cheeks, and behind the ears, no part of it was missed, and the face was shaved clean.
Then there is the most comfortable jumping knife.
There is nothing to say about Xiaoxinghua’s craftsmanship.
I was tapped on the shoulder, which meant to wake me up.
Sitting up straight, Xiao Xinghua put hair wax on Meng Shaoyuan's hair and combed it carefully.
"Boss Meng, take a look, are you satisfied?"
"Okay, okay." Meng Shaoyuan looked at himself in the mirror, his face was fair and fair, and his waxed hair was not messy at all: "I am in Shanghai, and the person who shaved my head is also from Northern Jiangsu. The head shaving business in Shanghai and Nanjing is the best. It’s been monopolized by you.”
"Boss Meng, we craftsmen rely on this to make a living. Back then, we carried dozens of kilograms of rice on our backs and walked all the way to Nanjing to become a master. We started as an apprentice, washing rice, cooking, cleaning, and helping the master's wife wash her underwear. Have you ever experienced hardship? Now you are finally fine. You can now have your own small shop. At least, you can support your wife and children."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled, opened the drawer, and took out a roll of ocean: "This is for you."
A full fifty yuan.
Xiao Xinghua was frightened: "Boss Meng, don't make me happy anymore. How can you use so much money?"
"Take it." Meng Shaoyuan put Dayang into the tool box: "I'm leaving Nanjing. Now I don't know if we can see each other again. Xiaoxinghua, now go to your hometown in northern Jiangsu. Maybe There is still a chance to run. Take your wife and children and leave in the afternoon. Don’t stay in Nanjing for any reason. These oceans are reserved for your future life.”
Xiao Xinghua was stunned: "I know the Japanese are coming, but I really can't bear to leave here?"
"Don't be reluctant to give up." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Your skills are good, I would like you to shave my head, take the money, and hide in the countryside for a few years. When the Anti-Japanese War is won, if you and I are both alive, you will come to Nanjing to help I shave my head.”
"Spicy piece of his mother's Japanese ghost!" Xiaoxinghua yelled out his native dialect: "You can't live a good life, you have to fight!"
After saying that, he also let out a long sigh and bowed deeply to Meng Shaoyuan: "Boss Meng, you are a good person. Thank you. In the future, I will help you shave your head for free!"
Xiao Xinghua was moved and sighed and left.
My eyes were red when I left.
Meng Shaoyuan tied his tie, put on his coat and hat in front of the mirror. He had a Browning and two magazines on him.
A suitcase that had been prepared long ago was placed there.
There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Director Meng, we are here."
Gan Ning, Ma Dai, Xu Zhu!
Song Deng and Pan Baolai were already waiting at the dock.
Each of the three young men was carrying a suitcase.
What was inside was the same as what was in Meng Shao’s original suitcase:
Submachine guns and bullets!
Meng Shaoyuan walked to the door, put the suitcase on the ground, and locked the door carefully.
Can the lock stop Japanese soldiers?
Of course not.
But Meng Shaoyuan still locked the door.
Home is always home.
He picked up the suitcase and said, "Let's go."
A few drops of drizzle fell from the sky.
A platoon of military police showed up.
Han Binghai saluted Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan nodded to him.
Neither of them spoke.
…
The pier was full of people.
All of them wanted to leave Nanjing, but Tang Shengzhi had already ordered that no one was allowed to leave Nanjing.
He wanted to trap the soldiers and civilians of Nanjing in this city.
Everyone looked frightened and desperately asked if they knew anyone and if there was a way out.
On the other side, more than three hundred people gathered there.
One by one, they brought their families and their families with them, carrying large and small bags.
These are Nanjing businessmen and their families.
Song Deng and Pan Baolai had already arrived.
It's impossible to get through it at all.
Song Deng suddenly pointed forward:
"coming!"
…
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The military police avoided the crowd and cleared a path for Meng Shaoyuan.
"Director Meng!"
Song Deng and Pan Baolai came forward and said, "Everyone from the Chamber of Commerce is here and waiting for you."
"Nothing left behind?"
"There should be no more."
"Meng, Meng."
Daniel finally squeezed in: "Why are there so many people? Oh my God, I have contacted Captain Schiller. The Cambria Breaker can be boarded at any time."
"Okay!" Meng Shaoyuan led his party to the businessman.
As soon as Meng Shaoyuan finally appeared, everyone seemed to see the backbone.
Zeng Jianping quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Meng Shaoyuan: "Director Meng, it would be great if you could come. There are 316 people in total, and we have arrived at 314."
"Where are the other two?"
"My son was lost in a crowd on the road. The father went back to look for him. He didn't care. He didn't care. It was too late or not. That was their own life."
"Okay!" Meng Shaoyuan composed himself: "Han Binghai, send people to stay on guard and don't allow anyone to approach here. You take a class of people with me to negotiate with the dock."
…
Lieutenant Colonel Kang Liang's voice was hoarse from shouting.
He took the certificate handed over by Meng Shaoyuan, looked at it, and returned it to Meng Shaoyuan: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
A secret agent of the military commander? And he’s still a boss?
"My ship is parked there, the Cambria Breaker." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately, "I want to get on the ship immediately."
Although there was an order not to allow anyone to leave, they were under military command.
And that ship was a British cargo ship.
Kang Liang didn't want to offend these agents and cause trouble for himself: "Okay, let's go."
"I'm not alone, there are others behind me."
"Several people?"
"Three hundred and fourteen people."
"How much?" Kang Liang's eyes widened: "Chief Meng, are you kidding me? Just a few of you got on the boat, and I just pretended not to see it. More than 300 people got on the boat? No way."
"This is a special pass issued by Commander Xiao." Meng Shaoyuan immediately took out the special pass and handed it to Kang Liang.
Good guy, did Commander Xiao personally sign it?
What is the origin of this agent?
Kang Liang checked it carefully and confirmed it was correct.
The special passes are real, but after all, they are 314 people.
"Chief Meng, you didn't say that one pass can take away so many people, right?" Kang Liang still fulfilled his duties: "If we are traced later, who will bear the responsibility!"
"The British Empire takes responsibility!"
At this time, it was Daniel's turn to take action. He said in blunt Chinese: "I am Sinclair of the British Empire..."
Damn it, this guy is so damaging. If he doesn’t tell his real name, who is Sinclair offending in Shanghai?
"This is a letter of guarantee signed by Mr. Jia Deqian, Ambassador of the Embassy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Nanjing." It is absolutely a huge challenge for Daniel to say such a long and complicated sentence completely: "The guarantee for these businessmen, Any issues in the future will be handled by myself, Sinclair, and the British Embassy."
Kang Liang took the so-called "guarantee letter" and opened it. It was all in foreign language. Who can understand it? But at the bottom there is the signature of Ambassador Judegan and a bright red seal.
That must be true?
In fact, it was Fart's guarantee letter, just a document written by Ambassador Judegan to prove Daniel's identity. Will accountability be pursued in the future? Who should I contact to track it down?
"Kang Liang."
"Han Binghai!"
When Kang Liang saw Han Binghai coming up from behind, Kang Liang was startled: "Why are you here too?"
"Commander Xiao asked me to come." Han Binghai pulled Kang Liang aside: "I brought a platoon, Commander Xiao's security force, and I was ordered to follow Meng Shaoyuan's dispatch."
"Ah? Commander Xiao gave him all his security forces? Who is this man?"
"Don't worry about the origin. It's not simple anyway. You know who Commander Xiao is. Will he do this to others easily? Will he issue special passes to others easily? Hurry up and let him go. If something goes wrong, there is a military commander. , with Commander Xiao and the British taking over, it won’t be your turn no matter what, why bother offending so many people?”
Kang Liang thought for a while and returned to Meng Shaoyuan: "I was ordered to guard this place. No one is allowed to pass. This point is non-negotiable. You are not allowed to pass by alone. I am going to patrol somewhere else now, so just stay here with me. here."
With that said, he actually left with his hands behind his back.
Smart and promising.
If he is investigated in the future, he will at most be charged with leaving his post without permission.
The officers all did this, and the soldiers guarding the pier also turned their faces to the sky.
He looked as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"Quick, let the people from the Chamber of Commerce board the boat immediately!"
…
"Sir, please, take my daughter away, take my daughter away. She is only sixteen years old. We will never forget your kindness in this life."
A decently dressed couple brought their daughter and begged, and the wife even knelt down in front of Meng Shaoyuan.
People started to get on the boat at the dock, and soon many people came here, but they were blocked by soldiers with live ammunition. The couple didn't know how they got in.
Forget it, it doesn't hurt to have one more person.
Meng Shaoyuan waved his hand: "Let her come in."
"I won't leave, I'm with you." The girl cried.
"Let's go, let's go. Mom and dad have something to do in Nanjing. They will definitely come to see you. We remember this ship. Remember, your cousin is in Wuhan. Go to Wuhan to find your cousin."
Meng Shao originally wanted the couple to get on the boat, but as soon as he took the little girl with him, he was immediately called over by Daniel.
…
"Quick, quick, ship, the ship is about to leave!"
The father and son rushed towards the dock like crazy, but were immediately stopped by soldiers.
"Ship, we need to get on the boat. I'm from the Chamber of Commerce."
"Pass!"
The soldier said expressionlessly.
"I am from the Chamber of Commerce. I really am from the Chamber of Commerce."
The father howled.
My ship!
…
Human destiny is so wonderful.
A girl got on the boat and her destiny changed.
A father and son could have boarded the boat, but because the son was crowded and separated, the father went to look for him, but he failed to catch the boat.
Their fate was also changed.
"Woo"!
At the pier, the long whistle of the "Cambria Breaker" was heard leaving the pier.
