Early the next morning, Yulin went to the market and bought a bowl of hot and sour noodles, which was so spicy that he burst into tears. I bought two more pieces of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, which finally neutralized the spicy taste.

When I returned to the guest house, I saw Du Xueqian already lingering at the door.

"Brother Du, are you here?"

"Brother, where have you been? I've been here for almost half an hour. Du Xueqian saw Lu Yulin's leisurely appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab him.

"I'm going to try Chongqing snacks, that hot and sour noodles are about to make me spicy into a red child, and I can spray three flavors to be really hot." Lu Yulin opened his mouth and spat at Du Xueqian: "Do you feel it, it's hot." “

When Du Xueqian heard this, he burst out laughing: "Chongqing cuisine is spicy hot, now I know that Sichuan people are amazing, pour chili water every day, and I have long practiced the incorruptible body of King Kong." ”

"That's amazing. Brother Du, what are you looking for me? Yu Lin saw that Du Xueqian came to him early in the morning, there must be something important.

"Of course it's about making money." Du Xueqian pretended to be mysterious.

"Oh? Something good is coming so soon? Yu Lin excitedly patted Du Xueqian's shoulder and grinned at Du Xueqian's teeth.

Du Xueqian rubbed his shoulders and said, "I already told my cousin about you yesterday, and he said that there is no problem, and now he has a business in hand, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"What business?" Yu Lin asked impatiently.

Du Xueqian put his mouth close to Yulin's ear: "My cousin said that he now has a batch of medicines in his hand and wants to sell." ”

"Brother Du, let's go into the house and talk." Yu Lin looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he motioned for Du Xueqian to come into the house to talk.

Lu Yulin opened the door, asked Du Xueqian to go in, and then locked the door.

"Brother Du, what did you just say, your cousin has a batch of medicines in his hands?" Yu Lin looked very interested.

"It's an imported product, the original German durolin is the latest painkiller, which has fewer side effects than morphine, and my cousin said that there are no more than 100 boxes of this medicine in Chongqing."

"Isn't such a good medicine very sought-after? How could such a good thing fall on me? Yu Lin was very puzzled.

"Now the wind is tight, and all contraband has increased supervision, so this batch of goods has not had time to be sold, and the upper family is in a hurry, so my cousin asked me to come to you and ask you if you have a way, you are a reporter, and you have a lot of contact, if someone wants it, my cousin said, you can reduce the price by 30%."

"That's a good deal, how many do you have?" Yulin's first thought was to transport this batch of medicine to northern Jiangsu.

"Twenty boxes." Du Xueqian made a gesture.

"That's a lot. So how do you transport it away? ”

"By car, my cousin has a pass from the Military Commission, as well as a forged edict from Dai Li, and a fake letter from Zhou Fohai, so that it can be unimpeded in both the Kuotong and the occupied areas. No one should be able to check on the road. Du Xueqian was full of confidence, and it seemed that everything had been arranged.

"It's all fake?" Yu Lin couldn't help but exclaim.

"You keep quiet, my cousin is afraid that if someone gets in the way and the matter is exposed, it would be good to have a handwritten edict to bluff people. When I arrived in the occupied area, with the gold-lettered signboard of the three characters of Zhou Fohai, whether it was Wang Fake or Japanese, they would give some thin noodles. How's that, brother, do you have the guts? Du Xueqian explained to Lu Yulin the purpose of the fake oracle and the fake letter.

"Will this be debunked?" Yu Lin asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, brother, I carry these two Shang Fang swords with me every time I do business, and I have tried them many times." Du Xueqian patted Yulin's shoulder: "Otherwise, for so many years, how could I be so smooth sailing, and the business is getting bigger and bigger?" ”

"Or, in this way, you ship this batch of goods to Shanghai with me, find a place to hide it, and then I will go to the buyer, do you think it's okay?" Lu Yulin proposed.

"This ...... It's not that I can't believe you, brother, you said that if you take the goods and pat your ass and leave, then won't I just sit on wax? Du Xueqian felt that Lu Yulin's proposal was too risky, he had always not seen rabbits and eagles, and he took the goods away before he saw the white flowers, and his heart was a little uneasy: "Either you go to contact the buyer first, the goods will be placed here, if someone wants it, let them pick it up, and then lend them the two Shang Fang swords to use." ”

"Brother Du, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple, my home, my photo studio are all there, are you still afraid of me running? Otherwise, I'll give you a thousand oceans as a deposit, can you see it? ”

Du Xueqian still hesitated: "If you bet a thousand oceans first, this can be considered." However, this batch of medicine is worth twenty large yellow croaker. ”

"But if I can't find a buyer for a while, this medicine will hit my hand, and I will lose a thousand oceans in vain. You say yes, right? Besides, do you think this batch of drugs is safer in Chongqing, or is it safer in Shanghai, thousands of miles away? ”

Du Xueqian thought about it and felt that Lu Yulin's words also made sense: "Okay, I'll tell my cousin what you mean and see what he means." ”

"Okay, you'd better hurry up, I can't eat Chongqing's Malatang, I have to go back to Shanghai as soon as possible." Yu Lin urged Du Xueqian and asked Meng Ruoyu to make up his mind as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll get back to you in the afternoon."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Du Xueqian came again, and he told Yulin that Meng Ruoyu agreed with his approach.

"Old classmate, I only wore out my tongue for the sake of our classmates, and explained my cousin, you must not fool me." Du Xueqian was still skeptical.

"If you can't trust me, then I won't do this business." Yu Lin pretended to be a little angry.

"I didn't mean that, it's just that I'm a little worried." Du Xueqian saw that Lu Yulin was a little angry, so he immediately comforted him.

"Doing business is about credit. We are old classmates, how can I cheat you? Okay, when will the goods arrive and when will we leave? Yu Lin raised his hand and looked at his watch.

"At five o'clock in the afternoon, my cousin said that just in case, he added another box of candy outside the medicine box, and put a few more boxes of candy on it, so that he could get through the customs in the confusion."

"Your cousin is really a cautious man."

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, if you are not careful, can this business be done for so long?"

"Yes, Zhuge is only cautious in his life, Brother Du, you and your cousin have been doing business for so many years, and the two Kuomintang and Communist Party have done business, aren't you afraid that the boat will capsize if you check it out from above?" Yu Lin felt that opportunists like Du Xueqian might be shooting themselves in the foot in the end, and Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror - he was not a person inside and out.

"In the past few years, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated, and this business was easier to do, but in the past two years, there has been constant friction, and the above investigation has become tighter and tighter, so it is difficult to do more business." Du Xueqian sighed to Lu Yulin.

"And what are you and your cousin doing at this risk?" Lu Yulin was a little incomprehensible, since this business was getting more and more difficult and risky, why did a cautious person like Meng Ruoyu still commit a crime against the wind.

"Brother, you don't understand this, who will be in this world in the future? Since I am not sure, then bet on both sides, whoever sits on the country is beneficial to me, so I have to cut tofu on both sides of the knife. No one is to be offended. ”

"Brother Du's philosophy of life has taught the younger brother." After listening to Du Xueqian's words, Lu Yulin felt that the word "slippery head" could not be more appropriate for these two cousins.

"Okay, brother, you sit down for a while, I'll go buy some dry food for the road to eat." Du Xueqian looked at his watch, it was not too early, it was time to make some preparations for the road.

"Brother Du, try to make something not spicy." Yu Lin reminded Du Xueqian.

"I know."

After Du Xueqian left, Yulin was thinking about how to dispose of these drugs, these drugs were naturally transported to the base area in northern Jiangsu, but how to transport them out? Yulin thought of Mark at St. Mary's Hospital.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, a military truck with a license plate of 4657 stopped at the door, and Meng Ruoyu stepped out of the car.

"Brother Ouyang, it's all up to you this time." Meng Ruoyu shook hands with Yu Lin.

"Director Meng, don't worry, after arriving in Shanghai, I will definitely give you an answer within three days. I'll give it to Xueqian and let him call you. ”

"Good. Deal. Meng Ruoyu took out a few pieces of paper from his handbag and handed them to Lu Yulin.

"This is the pass of the Military Commission and Dai Li's handwritten letter, which can basically travel unimpeded in the national control area, this is a special pass for the occupied area, and this letter is a handwritten letter from Zhou Fohai. With these two things, the Japanese will not stop you. ”

"Director Meng is really powerful, and he can even get Director Dai's handwritten edict and Zhou Fohai's handwritten letter. It looks like we're going to get through this time. ”

"It's just a last resort. Keep both the oracle and the letter hidden, and do not show them until the last resort. ”

"I understand." Lu Yulin put the message and letter in his pocket and put the two passes in front of the steering wheel.

"There are many mountain roads in Chongqing, so be careful when driving."

"I see. Brother Du, let's go, get in the car. ”

Du Xueqian hurriedly sat in the co-pilot's seat, and he waved his hand to Meng Ruoyu: "Cousin, I'm leaving." ”

"Be careful." Meng Ruoyu waved goodbye to Lu Yulin and Du Xueqian with a heavy heart.

The military vehicles drove all the way on the rugged mountain roads of Chongqing, and the road was checked quite strictly, but when the sentries saw the pass of the military committee, they immediately opened the gate and let them go. So the journey is basically unimpeded.

After more than 30 hours of day and night, I finally returned to Shanghai.

"Brother Du, I think let's put these twenty boxes of goods in my photo studio first. It's a big place, and it can be piled up. ”

"Okay, I'll put it in your photo studio."

Yulin parked the car in front of the photo studio and beckoned the tiger boy to carry it together.

"Okay, Brother Du, let's go back together, Mrs. Sister-in-law should miss you." Lu Yulin patted Du Xueqian's shoulder.

"Okay, let's go back together."

came to No. 18 Jixiangli, Yulin was so tired that he lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

"Yulin, what's wrong with you? Why are you so tired? Shuxian asked with concern.

"Shuxian, I'm tired, let me lie down for a while." Yu Lin replied weakly.

Shuxian saw Yu Lin's eyelids fighting, so she stopped asking: "Then you can rest for a while, and I'll get you a basin of washing water." ”

Shuxian went to the bathroom to get a basin of face water, but saw that Yulin had already fallen asleep and was snoring slightly. Shuxian looked at Yulin distressedly, took off his leather shoes and coat, straightened him up, and let him sleep more comfortably.

At about nine o'clock the next morning, Yulin woke up from her sleep, and Shuxian had already gone to work.

Yulin stretched, got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash, and then walked to the dining table and sat down, Shuxian had prepared milk and bread for him for breakfast.

Yu Lin took a bite of bread and took a sip of milk: "It's still this for my stomach." ”

After eating breakfast, he opened the safe in the bedroom, took out a thousand oceans from it, and then went downstairs and knocked on the door of Du Xueqian's house.

Du Xueqian walked out in his pajamas, opened the door, and when he saw that it was Lu Yulin, he beckoned him in.

"Nong is still up early, and when he arrives in the house at three o'clock in the morning, Geche has already woken up. I really want to spend a day and a night. ”

"Brother Du, after you collect the money, go back to sleep, give, this is a deposit of a thousand oceans."

Lu Yulin took out a thousand oceans from his briefcase and put it on the table of the Eight Immortals.

As soon as he saw the ocean, Du Xueqian was completely sleepy, and he glanced at the ocean on the table: "Brother, you are really efficient, you got the money from the bank so early?" ”

"I've always been neat and tidy. Okay, Brother Du, I've already paid the deposit, and I'm going to go out to find a buyer now. ”

"Okay, good, go and cut down, it's really refreshing to do business with Brother Nong."

"You go back to sleep, I'm leaving."

Yu Lin said hello to Du Xueqian and went out.
