After the four people got off at Wuhan Station, they bought a train ticket to Guangzhou, and arrived at Guangzhou Station on the third day through the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, and then the four of them got on the train to Bao'an non-stop, and finally arrived in Bao'an in the evening.

When I got on the train in Shanghai, it was still cold and windy, dripping into ice, but when I arrived in Guangdong, the climate here was like a spring in March, warm and warm, so the four of them took off their thick coats and put them in the suitcases, and then changed into cloth shirts, stored the two suitcases in the luggage room of the railway station, and then went to the Shenzhen River to inquire about the situation.

The four of them wandered casually along the embankment of the Shenzhen River, counting the fishing boats on the wharf, while throwing small pebbles into the water, seemingly carelessly, but in fact, the eyes of several people have been staying on the water, to see if there are Japanese patrol boats nearby, looking for the safest and most hidden route to cross the river.

"You see, the Japanese patrol boats are parked there, and they are probably having dinner at this time, and when the night comes, I think we can get out of the water from the big banyan tree on the shore and dive across the river." Ling Yunpeng pointed to a patrol boat in the distance, and then to a banyan tree nearby, which had a large canopy and could serve as a cover.

"Boss, of course you and Nezha are fine, you can both dive, but I'm a landlubber, how can I get there?" Fu Xinghan was a little anxious when he heard that Ling Yunpeng was planning to swim across the river.

"I can't either, I can only do dog planing, I'm afraid that I will be discovered by the Japanese soldiers before I reach the other side." Ah Hui was also worried.

"And you two are going by boat?" Qin Shouyi suggested.

"If you take the boat, will you be discovered by those Japanese soldiers?" Fu Xinghan looked at Ling Yunpeng with some concern.

"Otherwise, let's go get a small boat first, put all the suitcases on the boat, take advantage of the dark night, when the patrol boat is far away from us, we will cross the river, and the idiot and Ah Hui hide in the boat, and Nezha and I will push the boat in the water, so there is not much movement." Ling Yunpeng put forward his own idea.

"Okay, that's it, then let's split up!" Everyone nodded and agreed with Ling Yunpeng's plan.

Qin Shouyi went to the station to pick up his luggage, Ah Hui and Ling Yunpeng went to get a small boat, while Fu Xinghan paid attention to the movements of the Japanese patrol boat.

Ling Yunpeng and Ah Hui walked to the fishing boats anchored on the shore and saw a small boat docked on the shore, and an old man sat on the boat smoking dry tobacco.

"Hello, uncle!" Ling Yunpeng greeted the old man in Cantonese, he had studied in Guangzhou for a few years when he was a teenager, so there was no problem with Cantonese.

"Hello, pretty boy, what are you looking for me?" The old man turned his head and looked at Ling Yunpeng and Ah Hui.

"I want to cross the river, go over there, okay?" Ling Yunpeng pointed in the direction of Hong Kong.

The old man shook his head: "No, pretty boy, Hong Kong is now occupied by the Japanese, and Hong Kong people can't get by, and we can't get by." Seen by the Japanese, it hits the street every minute! ”

"Uncle, I will give me more money, would you like it?" Ling Yunpeng took out a ten-dollar sterling from his pocket.

When the old man saw it, his eyes straightened, and the ten yuan pound was equivalent to a hundred yuan of ocean, and he could not earn a hundred yuan of ocean after working hard to fish all year round. But the old man was timid and afraid, and although his eyes were hot for the ten pounds, he did not dare to reach out and take it.

"Pretty boy, it's not that I don't want to, but I'm afraid that if the Japanese soldiers find out, then my family will be all over. Now the Japanese are watching closely, and every morning and evening they have to count our fishing boats to prevent anyone from smuggling across the river by boat. ”

"And when are the Japanese counting your fishing boats?" When Ling Yunpeng heard this information, he felt that it was very important, and hurriedly asked.

"Normally, once at 10 p.m. and once at 7 a.m."

"Well, then, we will borrow this ship from you after eleven o'clock in the evening, and give it to you for ten pounds, will you see it's okay, sir?"

When the old man heard this, his heart was itching, after all, this money was equivalent to his annual income, and his ship was only fifty yuan at most. Even if it is found and destroyed by the Japanese soldiers, it will only cost 50 oceans, and these 10 pounds can buy two such fishing boats!

"Alright then, I'll lend you the boat." The old man finally nodded and agreed: "Pretty boy, now Hong Kong has become an island, you can't get in, you can't get out, why do you have to take this risk?" ”

"Uncle, we went to Hong Kong for the funeral, this is my cousin, his father, that is, my second uncle passed away in Hong Kong, so we have to go to the funeral." Ling Yunpeng pointed at Ah Hui, who hurriedly pretended to wipe his tears with his sleeve.

"Oh, I see, the dead are great, as it should be. Still, you have to be careful. If you are discovered by the Japanese, he doesn't care if you go to the funeral or not, and if you catch it, you will be beaten to death. The old man was full of sympathy for Ling Yunpeng and Ah Hui, and reminded him kindly.

"Okay, thank you, uncle, then we'll come back after eleven o'clock in the evening." Ling Yunpeng and Ah Hui bowed to the old man, then turned around and left.

Ling Yunpeng and Ah Hui returned to the banyan tree, and Fu Xinghan was sitting on the shore watching the patrol boat.

"How's it going, is it done?" Fu Xinghan turned his head and asked Ling Yunpeng.

"Well, I've discussed it with the boatman, he's willing to lend us a boat, and we'll go to him after eleven o'clock in the evening to pick up the boat, how is the patrol boat doing?"

"What time is it, Boss?"

"It's seven thirty-eight." Ling Yunpeng looked at his watch.

"I guess the patrol boat should have left at 7:30." Fu Xinghan estimated the time.

"Then let's observe here how long it will take for this patrol boat to cruise around."

As he was talking, Qin Shouyi came over with two suitcases.

"Hide your suitcase in this banyan tree first." Ling Yunpeng pointed to the canopy of the banyan tree above his head.

"Okay."

After Qin Shouyi finished speaking, he crawled to the tree, Ling Yunpeng threw the two suitcases to him one after another, Qin Shouyi hid the two suitcases on the tree above the canopy, there were so many leaves to cover it, it was difficult to be found.

Qin Shouyi climbed down from the tree and clapped his hands: "Okay, boss, when are we going to cross the river?" ”

"After eleven o'clock, I have borrowed the boat, and when the Japanese patrol boat is far away from us, we will cross the river in one go."

"Okay, then let's wait here!"

From 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., the patrol boat cruised four times around Hanoi in Shenzhen, about half an hour or more. At about ten o'clock, the patrol boat came to the fishing boat dock, and then began to count the fishing boats docked on the shore, and after a quarter of an hour, found nothing unusual, and left the fishing boat dock.

After eleven o'clock, Ling Yunpeng came to the fishing boat wharf again, the old man had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Ling Yunpeng coming, he untied the cable and handed the rope to Ling Yunpeng: "Pretty boy, be careful." ”

"Well, uncle, thank you!" After Ling Yunpeng finished speaking, he stuffed a ten-dollar bill to the old man.

The old man squeezed the ten-pound bill tightly and waved his hand gratefully at Ling Yunpeng.

Ling Yunpeng took off his clothes, shoes and socks, threw them into the boat, and then jumped into the river, pushing the boat forward under the water, until he pushed the boat under the big banyan tree.

"Boss, you're here, the patrol boat has been gone for more than ten minutes." Fu Xinghan hurriedly reported to Ling Yunpeng.

Ling Yunpeng looked at the patrol boat in the distance and nodded: "Okay, everyone hurry up and get on the boat." ”

At this time, Qin Shouyi had already taken the two suitcases off the tree, and when he saw the boat coming, he put the suitcases on the boat, Fu Xinghan and Ah Hui also got on the boat, and the boat could only accommodate two people.

In the night, Ling Yunpeng and Qin Shouyi quietly pushed the boat underwater to the opposite bank, and suddenly, a searchlight swept towards the river.

"Get down." Ling Yunpeng shouted in a low voice.

Fu Xinghan and Ah Hui hurriedly lay on the bottom of the boat, but it was obvious that the Japanese patrol boat had already discovered the small boat, and the sound of the motor from the patrol boat was getting closer and closer.

"Damn, why did you turn back so quickly?" Fu Xinghan glanced at the patrol boat in the distance hatefully, and then asked Ling Yunpeng nervously, "What should I do, boss?" ”

"Ah Hui, give me the gun in the suitcase." Ling Yunpeng immediately made a decision and covered the three of them to cross the river by himself.

Ah Hui hurriedly opened the suitcase and handed Ling Yunpeng a Browning pistol wrapped in a rainproof cloth.

"Nezha, you continue to push the boat across the river, and I'll go and lure the patrol boat away."

Ling Yunpeng couldn't say anything, a fierce man plunged into the river, dived and swam towards the shore......
