Chapter 437: Twists and turns
When Ye Shaolong and the others arrived in Xia City, it happened that the city gate was about to be closed, and Lin Biao went up directly with a hundred taels of silver in his arms to negotiate with the widows guarding the gate, and was told that they could enter the city after a while.

Ye Shaolong was very curious, now is the time when Xia Cheng is under martial law, these widows who are guarding the city don't even need to search their bodies, so they are directly released into the city?
Lin Biao explained Ye Shaolong's confusion: "Actually, the idea of the Japanese is very simple, it is inevitable that they will be under martial law in the city, and those who have to leave the city will be strictly investigated." As for the people who entered the city, they didn't need to check at all, and in their minds, we wouldn't be so stupid as to fall into the net. ”
After listening to this explanation, Ye Shaolong suddenly realized, and it can be seen that this widow is actually not stupid, but they can't imagine that Ye Shaolong is really from the net.
After entering the city, the streets and alleys were full of widows, wandering in groups of three or five, and anyone they considered suspicious would be interrogated for a long time to make sure that there was no problem before they were allowed to leave.
After walking less than 300 meters, Ye Shaolong, a coolie dressed as a coolie, had been checked twice by the widows on the street.
Fortunately, with Lin Biao, the head of the serious 'coolie', everyone finally arrived at the port without danger.
It was already completely dark, and all the coolies who had been working all day on the harbor had gone back to rest, and only a few would-be pirates were left standing guard.
Once again, Lin Biao showed his identity certificate, and Lin Biao finally took everyone safely to the merchant ship that was about to set sail for the provincial capital tomorrow.
So far, this trip to Xia Cheng can be regarded as a thrilling experience, and this also proves that Lin Biao is still quite comfortable in Xia Cheng.
That night, after everyone had gone to sleep, Ye Shaolong called Lin Biao to the deck, got some wine, and chatted while drinking.
Lin Biao can be regarded as a sincere person, he saw that Ye Shaolong seemed to have something in his heart but didn't say it, so he simply asked first.
"Ye Shuai might as well say it directly, Lin Biao will definitely not shirk as long as he can." Lin Biao put down his wine glass and immediately said bluntly.
Ye Shaolong raised his head and took a sip of the wine in the cup, and then sighed lightly and said: "Actually, I don't know the bottom of this matter, I don't know whether it's right or wrong?" ”
Lin Biao nodded and listened silently, without interrupting Ye Shaolong's thinking.
After being silent for a moment, Ye Shaolong sighed again: "I have a good friend who wants to go to sea alone to see the world, but the dangers at sea are everywhere. I promised him to find a boat and a boat for him to help him realize his dream. But in this way, I always feel guilty when I think about it. ”
Lin Biao frowned, and hesitated: "Ye Shuai is not afraid that if your friend has an accident at sea, it will make you ...... in your heart." ”
Ye Shaolong nodded: "Yes, but now I regret it, but that friend still insists on going to sea, and I don't know what to do now?" ”
Lin Biao suddenly smiled: "Actually, why bother Ye Shuai, in the final analysis, this matter is your friend's own idea, not that you forced him to do this." So, whatever happens afterwards, what does it have to do with you. ”
In Lin Biao's opinion, as long as Ye Shaolong didn't forcibly ask for others, the matter would have little to do with him.
Ye Shaolong still couldn't let go, and said with a wry smile: "Although that's right, it's ...... Alas, let's not talk about that, let it be! ”
After a pause, Ye Shaolong said: "Actually, I called you here tonight to ask if you have a boat family you know in the provincial capital, and you can take my friend to the sea and travel to other countries?" ”
Lin Biao only hesitated slightly, then said with a smile: "I do know such people in the provincial capital, but if you want to hire them to go on a long trip to the sea, no one may agree." As....... ”
"Why don't you do it?" Ye Shaolong asked after him.
"It is better to let your friend go to sea in the Chaoshan region, which we will pass through tomorrow, and there will be many ships in the port where they will go to sea and go to other countries. Your friends can take a boat there, and they only need to pay a boat fare, and they don't have to charter a boat or a person at all. ”
"Oh, and such a thing. If you're right, that's a good thing. Ye Shaolong's eyes flashed brightly, and he quite agreed with Lin Biao's method.
Lin Biao also explained to Ye Shaolong the port in the Chaoshan area, which was the closest to Xiacheng and was also one of the areas severely disturbed by the Japanese invaders.
It can be said that in addition to Xiacheng, it is the most serious in the Chaoshan area, where Lin Zexu used to garrison troops to fight against the Japanese invaders, and Lin Biao served there, so he also knows a lot about it.
Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the officers and soldiers have fled and scattered, and there is no strength at all to resist the Japanese invaders. And because there are many hills there, not rich land, the Japanese have no intention of occupying them, but from time to time they go over and take them.
In less than two years, the people all migrated inland, or they went to sea by ship and traveled overseas.
At first, most of them went to Hong Kong or Macau, but later they expanded to Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and other places.
It can be said that almost all of these coastal countries in Asia have traces of Chaoshan people, which is why the Chaoshan area later became an out-and-out hometown of overseas Chinese.
Ye Shaolong went to the doubts in his heart, and the whole person felt much more relaxed, and the guilt for the little emperor was not as strong as before.
As Lin Biao said, it was the little emperor himself who insisted on going, and he couldn't help it, in short, whether he lived or died in the future, it was all up to the little emperor to take care of it.
After the matter was settled, the two chatted for a while, and then dispersed to rest.
Summer Harbor is very quiet at night, and tonight is calm. After dark, I don't see anyone staying here, and sleeping on a boat is naturally not as solid as on land, but tonight's weather is obviously able to make people sleep peacefully.
Ye Shaolong undressed and lay down, and just after closing his eyes, he heard a burst of shouting and scolding outside. And the voice is all in the Japanese language that he doesn't understand!
The drowsiness that had just emerged disappeared in an instant, and Ye Shaolong had to put on his clothes again. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Biao's voice then sounded: "Young master, a large number of widows have come outside, saying that they are going to search, you can prepare." ”
After Lin Biao finished speaking, he quickly left and went to inform others. After Ye Shaolong heard this, he immediately changed into the 'coolie' costume that had not been discarded.
After making sure there was nothing wrong with his outfit, he opened the door and stepped onto the deck. When I looked up, I saw that the entire harbor was densely packed with Japanese warriors, each holding a burning torch in their hands.
