Chapter 48: Encountering an Old Friend

The Jingzhou section of the Yangtze River has always had nine songs, the river here is tortuous, the water is turbulent, the boat is on it, it is more bumpy, Li Mu has been pampered for more than 20 years, most of the time he goes out directly to the airport, he has not been on a boat, so there is no suspense about seasickness, most of the night only feels that the stomach is churning, tossing and turning is not able to sleep, no, no, she is going to vomit, she hurriedly ran out of the cabin before putting on her coat, and met Ye Quan carrying Brother Rabbit on the deck. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Quan saw Li Mu running out of the cabin in a panic, thinking that she was frightened by the sound of the fight just now, and hurriedly grabbed her: "It's okay, look at what I have on my hands, this culprit has been caught by us again." ”

But Li Mu couldn't suppress it, Ye Quan grabbed her all of a sudden, the bow of the boat coincided with the valley of the waves, and suddenly a yellow stream gushed out from his mouth, and Ye Quan was sprayed with ・・・・・・ before he was proud.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't help it..." Li Mu hurriedly apologized, and after vomiting, the whole person got better and gradually became energetic.

Ye Quan was very dazed, what kind of sin did we create, there was a fishy smell coming from his clothes, Li Mu burned his face, wiped his mouth, turned his head and ran to his cabin to hide, he had never done such a shameful thing since he was a child, and he wanted to destroy his beautiful image, but he didn't know that in Ye Quan's eyes, her image was completely inconsistent with what she imagined.

"Since you are so determined to follow us, I will be merciful to fulfill your wishes, but unfortunately you are not a magical beast such as the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger, you are just a deformed rabbit, and my brother will be ashamed of you when he takes you out..." Ye Quan was changing his clothes while chanting in his mouth. Brother Rabbit was tied up tightly again, and he couldn't stop tossing at Ye Quan's feet, why was he so well planned, but he was still caught by humans, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, Brother Rabbit hasn't eaten for a while, and he is so hungry at this time.

Lao Yuan became a mutant rabbit breeder again, this time he patted his chest and promised that he would not let this guy run away again, so Lao Yuan frantically used various tapes to wrap the rabbit into a huge rugby ball, and finally only showed a mouth・・・・・・

Ye Quan found some biscuits from the supplies and put them in front of Brother Rabbit: "You just eat them, don't think about human flesh, even if you want to eat them, you can't eat them." "Since Shi Mingqiang told him that the mutant beast has a very high IQ, this guy has been thinking about whether he can raise one, this is a proper pet beast, as for how to tame them, it is a difficult problem, but since there is a rabbit brother, you can try all the ideas in your head, the first point is to make the mutant beast adapt to ordinary food, ・・・・・・and then of course, it is wine, Ye Quan thought very simply, since wine can help the superpower, maybe it can also suppress the mutant beast.

Brother Rabbit looked at the biscuits, his eyes were full of disgust, and his mouth didn't move, Ye Quan didn't care about him, he took out a bottle of Lao Baigan, pinched Brother Rabbit's mouth and poured it, now it's okay, there are not only two drunken superpowers on the ship, but also a mutant rabbit who has been poured into a daze.

"It seems that in the future, wine will become an important target when collecting supplies." Ye Quan and Qi Qiqi have now found that in order to suppress the tyrannical feeling in their bodies, they must come to two catties of Lao Bai every two days, and the others only think that they are addicted to alcohol, only Qi Ran feels that something is wrong, in the past, his elder sister was a surgeon and never drank alcohol, and how to meet Ye Quan had to drink a few sips almost every day.

Before I knew it, the sky was bright, and at this time the ships had come to the vicinity of Yicheng, and the huge figure of Gezhouba could be seen from a distance, and then there were nearly 100 large and small ships on the river that were blocked outside the dam.

Everyone woke up and came to the deck, Xie Zhiming touched his head after seeing the scene outside, and said: "I should have thought that the Yangtze River is not unobstructed, and there are two dams that have become obstacles." ”

"You see, there are quite a few survivors on those ships up ahead." Ye Quan handed the telescope to Qi Qiqi and said. The two of them had already known about this and were not surprised. The others were more or less worried, and everyone thought that with a patrol ship equipped with such firepower, the voyage would be smooth sailing, and who would have expected that the way would be blocked after only a third of the way.

Qi Qiqi took the binoculars and looked at it: "It seems that no one has passed through the dam." ”

"Even if someone thinks about it, they can't get by, no one operates the lock, who can get by, you see there are some boats over there that are leaning on the shore and there is no one on it, and it is estimated that they have abandoned the ship." Ye Quan said.

"Then what should we do, should we also abandon ship and go overland?" Li Mu asked.

"We still have enough supplies, we can take a look at the situation here first, if we can't find a way to get over within two days, then we have to abandon the ship, otherwise at that time, I'm afraid that there will be problems upstream." Ye Quan was worried about the Three Gorges, because there had been heavy precipitation during this time, and the Three Gorges was uncontrolled, and there were not many flood gates, so it had lasted for about two weeks, and he was afraid that something big would happen on the river if he waited any longer.

Ye Quan asked everyone to put away all the weapons and materials, planning to go over to find out some news among those survivors, originally their ship was a river patrol was already more conspicuous, if others saw that they had so many good things, although it was also a deterrent, but it would also invisibly cause trouble.

Nearly 100 boats on the river are almost all surrounded by one side, and it can be seen that the survivors are communicating with each other, and even seem to have formed a floating market to communicate with each other, located in the center are a few rather large pleasure boats, and the periphery is mostly some fishing boats and cargo ships, and there are also a few patrol boats like Ye Quan, but they are all used by the police, with a tonnage of about two or three hundred tons.

Ye Quan took Xie Zhiming with him, planning to go over to have a look, and let the others stay on the big boat, while he and Xie Zhiming drove over in a rubber boat. On both sides of Gezhouba is Yicheng, although this city is not large, but because of the huge Chinese population, this city on both sides of Gezhouba still has a population of more than one million.

This means that there may be a million zombie legions here, and it stands to reason that if such a large number of survivors stayed on the river, those zombies should have jumped into the river to play with dogs, Ye Quan and they encountered it once in Jiangcheng, and they almost didn't lift their boat. But the truth is beyond Ye Quan's imagination, these boats are parked on the river, there is not a single zombie in the water, and the two sides of the river are also very quiet, although there are many zombies on the shore, but they are just watching, and they are not as irritable as the corpses in Jiangcheng.

The rubber boat with the engine was very fast, and in a few minutes Ye Quan and the two had already arrived at the periphery of the boat formation, and a man wearing only shorts was squatting on the side of the boat on a tugboat, holding a fishing rod and fishing. ”

Ye Quan replied: "We are from Jiangcheng, I don't know how many days have you been blocked here, big brother?" ”

"Our ship came early, and it has been blocked for three days." The man said. There was also an old man beside the man, who sat on the deck in a daze and didn't speak, just holding half a cigarette and his hair was stunned, and most of his face was wrapped in gauze, which showed the color of blood, making it impossible to see what he looked like.

The man casually raised his head and saw the river patrol boat slowly approaching on the river, and then looked at Ye Quan, a little surprised: "Little brother is good, that's your boat?" ”

Ye Quan said: "This ship is unattended, and we got it by luck." ”

The man said: "This kind of ship is generally only used by the military and police, with fast speed, sufficient power, and some are equipped with weapons." ”

Ye Quan just smiled, the rubber boat sailed in front of the old man, Ye Quan took a look and found that this was not the owner of his small restaurant, Lao Liangtou ・・・・・・, he had been with this old bachelor for more than a year, and they were already quite familiar with each other, if he wasn't in a daze, he would have recognized him as soon as he spoke.

Lu met the deceased, Lao Liangtou seemed to be injured, as for how Ye Quan appeared here, it is unknown. Ye Quan stopped the rubber boat and tried to call a few times: "Old Liangtou..." ”

This guy didn't react, but when the cigarette butt burned to the filter and burned his hand, he got up and looked around and scolded: "Who is entertaining me again, saying don't call me old man." Whoever shouts like this again, I'm in a hurry. ”

The fishing man also stood up, but he ignored Lao Liangtou, and said to this Ye Quan: "Little brother, do you know my uncle?" ”

At this time, Lao Liangtou saw Ye Quan, and suddenly the expression on his face was extremely exciting, and then he pulled the wound and shouted pain: "It hurts me to death... I really didn't expect to see you again, how is my shop... "This bachelor really hasn't forgotten his goddamn little shop.

After the man confirmed Ye Quan's identity, he took the two of them on the boat, he was Lao Liangtou's nephew, and he didn't have much suspicion when he saw that Ye Quan was his uncle's friend, otherwise he wouldn't be easy to put others on the boat.

Ye Quan asked the old man what was the injury on his face, and the old man said with a heartbroken look: "Don't mention it, I just went on a blind date, sat down and just drank two cups of tea, the woman said that she was uncomfortable and became a monster within a few minutes of lying on the table, and she took a bite on my face with a brush." If it weren't for the blessing of my ancestors, I would have had to braided my hair on the spot. ”

"Then boss, why did you come here, is it possible that you are also going upstream?" Ye Quan asked.

"My family has become a monster, I ran out alone, and my nephew happened to be doing something in his hometown and picked me up on the boat. This kid's father, who is my eldest brother, settled in Miaozhou in his early years, they are full of mountains, there should be no monsters, after escaping, I plan to go to the eldest brother with this kid, but I don't know if the eldest brother is still there. I don't think about the first place I went to, I don't look down on it, there is not a single road, but who would have thought that the place that was usually poor and remote has now become a paradise. Old Liang looked lonely.

"It seems that my boss and I still have the same fate, we just happened to be going to Fuling, if we can cross the dam, we will have to go with you for a while." Ye Quan Road.

"Your kid is hard, as long as you live, there is tomorrow, our youth is gone, just want to watch the sunrise and sunset for a few more days, finally this year and you have made a lot of money, and I am planning to get married and have children・・・・・・ I didn't expect such a thing to ・・・・・・happen." Lao Liang's hair turned a lot grayer, and watching his family die was fatal to anyone, and the whole person was full of vicissitudes and a lot older.

The nephew of the old Liang Tou next to him caught a lot of fish after a while, and when he saw a few people chatting, he proposed that the two stay for a meal, Ye Quan thought that he would just ask them about the situation and agreed.

There is also a small kitchen in the tugboat, which has liquefied gas tanks, and the people who beg for a living on the river basically live on the boat and eat on the boat, and the nephew of Lao Liangtou scraped the scales of a few fish that had just been caught and put them in the pot and boiled them in white water for a while and then took them out, and this is a lunch for the boatman. Then he called out a veiled woman from the bilge and told her to eat together.

At the dinner table, Xie Zhiming inadvertently saw the woman's true face, and was immediately shocked, and choked on the food: "You... cough ”

The woman's gaze dodged the chopsticks that were picking up vegetables and stopped: "I'm not, I just look more like her." Lao Liangtou's nephew also looked very nervous.

"I won't admit that I've seen a lot of your works, oh yes, I remembered, it wasn't Qiu Ning who happened to hold a concert in Jiangcheng in the first half of the month, and I missed it at that time." Xie Zhiming unconsciously remembered his life before the catastrophe, and began to sigh at a young age.

Although Ye Quan doesn't often watch TV or pay attention to the entertainment industry, Qiu Ning, an actress, is too famous, she is very beautiful and belongs to the feeling of the little sister next door, and her reputation is also good.

Ye Quan actually recognized her when she just came out of the cabin, but when he saw her covering herself with a veil, he thought it was because he didn't want people to recognize her, anyway, he had nothing to do with her, so he didn't say anything. But Xie Zhiming, this kid, was heartless and still exposed her.

Xie Zhiming wanted to say more, but Ye Quan said: "Eat well, don't talk too much, when will you change your hallucinatory fantasies." ”

Xie Zhiming was not convinced: "Don't fool me all the time, am I a brainless person, I ran out of the speed of the car alone..." Speaking of this, this kid suddenly stopped, as if he felt that it was not suitable to talk about this in this environment, Ye Quan and Qi Qiqi's secret was better to be quietly discovered by himself, so he stopped.

"Qiu Ning, I don't mean anything else, you see that you are a few years older than me, I will call you Sister Sheng, you can rest assured that I will not go out to talk nonsense about your affairs here, I just ask you to sign for me, hehe." Xie Zhiming is a posture that will not give up until the goal is achieved.

Ye Quan felt that Qiu Ning was very nervous as if he was about to speak, but Lao Liangtou's nephew spoke first: "Let the little brother see and laugh, she is indeed Qiu Ning, but for some reason, it is inconvenient for her to expose herself now." ”

Ye Quan was very curious about this reason, and immediately asked, and the man replied: "Originally, I was also going to tell you, it's not impossible to cross this Gezhou Dam, and now the dam is still in a state of power generation, which means that the lock can still operate with its own electricity, but... It's just that whether the gate is open or not is controlled by a group of people." ”

"They must have put forward a condition for the release, and this condition is not very acceptable, otherwise there would not be so many ships blocked here." Ye Quan Road.

"That's true, their condition is to take away all the things they fancy on the ship, including the women, there is a rich merchant's boat in front of them, and the group of people directly robbed him of all his things, as well as his wife and daughter, and finally the rich merchant did not agree and asked them to be killed. It is precisely because of this that they cannot be allowed to discover Tyuning. ”

"How many of them are there?" Xie Zhiming asked.

"There are only more than thirty of them, and they seem to be all locals in Yicheng."

"Since there are not many people, I see that there are so many ships here, not to mention thousands of survivors, can't they deal with a few people?" Ye Quan put down his chopsticks, he felt a little strange, could it be that the stranger did it?

"Everyone had guns in their hands, and several boats tried to force their way through, but they didn't succeed, and they killed many people."

Ye Quan understands that this is a modern version of the roadblock bandits, but they are very greedy, they want to live a good life here by collecting tolls.

"Then they can grab it directly, why bother so hard." Xie Zhiming said while eating fish.

"If they forcibly get on the boat and rob it, I'm afraid there will be less trouble, the boats they can use are all small boats of one or two hundred tons, and I'm afraid that the survivors of those big ships will directly sink them."

Ye Quan thought to himself that if those people only had guns, it would be fine, and so much firepower on his ship would be enough for them to drink a pot. However, now Ye Quan still has a question: "In this case, if you can't accept their conditions and abandon the ship directly, why delay these times here." ”

"That's because someone on the biggest cruise ship told us yesterday that they had a way to take out that group of robbers and told us to wait a few more days."

At this time, Lao Liangtou took out a bottle of wine and insisted on having two glasses with Ye Quan, Ye Quan was not easy to refuse, a few glasses of wine were down, and Lao Liangtou was not silent: "I don't think they are so kind, if they can really pass, why do they need to tell us, it's just too much, I'm afraid there is some unsightly secret." ”

Ye Quan thought the same thing, but he didn't say it. Xie Zhiming's eating and drinking speed is absolutely first-class, and he doesn't drink, so he continues to pester Qiu Ning for an autograph when he has nothing to do.

Lao Liangtou glanced at Qiu Ning, and said to Ye Quan with a little drunkenness: "This woman doesn't do anything all day long, just my stupid nephew still provides him with food and drink, what's the matter with celebrities, until now, she is not a head with two shoulders, a mouth and an asshole, and she is squeamish all day long." ”

His voice was not small, Qiu Ning naturally heard it, and could only sob in a low voice on the side, just a few days ago she was a big star sought after by thousands of people, and she had already fallen to this step in an instant.

"Uncle, it's okay for you to say a few words." Lao Liangtou's nephew was a little unhappy.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, don't you just want to take this opportunity to let her go home and be your wife? But don't you want to think about how a big star can live our poor life, especially now in troubled times, you are not afraid of trouble when you find such a wife. Lao Liang said.

Qiu Ning was very unhappy, Xie Zhiming's autograph didn't arrive in the end, and Lao Liangtou's nephew played a round one by one, and the atmosphere eased slightly.

At the end of the meal, Lao Liangtou told Ye Quan that there were many people on the most central ships who were trading things, and if they lacked anything, they could exchange them.

He and Xie Zhiming returned to the rubber boat and headed for the big boat, along the way Xie Zhiming talked about Qiu Ning, which made Ye Quan annoyed, Xie Zhiming also said to himself: "Qiu Ning is really unlucky, she can just take a vacation after the concert, she is traveling near Jiangcheng, I didn't expect such an incident to happen, I was so depressed that I was counted by an old man." ”

"Why do you still have to fight for her, it's really enough, we still have business to do." Ye Quan interrupted him very ruthlessly, if this guy continues like this, maybe he will be sympathetic, and he will have to take over the female star, and there will be more trouble.
