Chapter 6 Companionship (4)
Thinking of the importance of that briefcase to Tang Song, Xiao Linghu couldn't help but feel nervous, seeing that Tang Song regarded that box as so important, if there were no important documents in that box, it must be valuables, or money.
Xiao Linghu was about to wake up Tang Song, suddenly heard a knock on the cabin door, and a black shadow walked in with Jiang Feng, from the figure of that person, Xiao Linghu knew that this was a businessman surnamed Yan in his lower bunk, when this Mr. Yan walked to Xiao Linghu's side, he smelled a faint smell of smoke, thinking that this Mr. Yan was a smoker, he couldn't stay up at night, and it was not good to smoke in this inner room, so he ran to the deck.
Could it be that Brother Feng also went to smoke? Xiao Linghu couldn't help but think about it, but after thinking about it again, all the way from Nanchang, he hadn't seen Feng Xuan smoke.
Mr. Yan didn't immediately undress and lie down, he came to Tang Song's bed, stood there and watched for a while, and then looked up at the empty upper bunk, as if he was thinking about something, and then went back to his own bunk, Xiao Linghu heard the sound of him undressing, and thought that this time he really had to sleep.
The light came through the window again, and then shook to Tang Song's bunk, Xiao Linghu was surprised to find that the briefcase that had disappeared just now appeared in Tang Song's bed again, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, waiting for the light to flicker again, and he could confirm that it was indeed Tang Song's briefcase.
"Could it be that I was dazzled just now?" Xiao Linghu couldn't help but doubt his eyesight, and tried hard to recall the scene just now, did he really not see the briefcase? "Maybe it was under the quilt just now, so I didn't see it!" Xiao Linghu thought about it, but he felt that he was really thinking about it.
Close your eyes and listen to the sound of the steamer sailing in the Yangtze River, the river lapping against the hull of the boat, rhythmically as if it was beating. Xiao Linghu fell asleep in a daze in this swaying slapping sound.
*********************
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Linghu was awakened by a noise outside, he opened his eyes, only to find that the boat had stopped, and he vaguely heard someone shouting: "Anqing has arrived!" ”
"It turns out that I've arrived in Anqing!" Xiao Linghu thought about it, stretched out his hand to look at his watch again, and in the dim light, he could vaguely see that the hour hand was pointing to one o'clock. Looking at the bed opposite, Feng Xuan didn't know when he had returned, he was asleep at this time, and he didn't wake up because of the stop of the boat; Tang Song, who was on the lower bunk, had already sat up from the bed, put on his clothes, and looked up to meet Xiao Linghu's gaze.
"Show me the box!" Tang Song stood up and handed the briefcase in his hand to Xiao Linghu's bed.
Xiao Linghu had to sit up and take the box, and asked at the same time, "Where are you going?" ”
Tang Song said: "Relieve yourself, and then go to smoke." ”
"Oh!" Xiao Linghu nodded, thinking that Tang Song had been awake for a while, but he was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to carry a briefcase, so he didn't go. Thinking about it, he was still more at ease with Xiao Linghu, so he handed over this important briefcase to Xiao Linghu for safekeeping.
Listening to the knock on the hatch, Xiao Linghu knew that Tang Song had walked out. He couldn't help but carry this box and put it in his head bed like Tang Song, and when he lay down again, he was a little strange, vaguely smelling the smell of tung oil from the box.
Anqing, an ancient city and the capital of Anhui Province, is naturally an important stop for this river ferry, which is an hour.
There were more people getting on and off the boat outside, that is, the tickets for the loose seats were all sold, and it was very calm just now, and there were people walking around in the aisle from time to time, Xiao Linghu couldn't sleep anymore, so he simply sat up again, and when he looked down, Mr. Yan was also sitting on the bed, obviously like him, unable to sleep.
Xiao Linghu was strange, in such a chaotic situation, Feng Xuan still slept so soundly. Come to think of it, when he was sleeping just now, Feng Xuan didn't know where he had gone, and now he slept like a pig, which was normal. After all, it's early in the morning, and it's the time when people are the most sleepy.
At this time, I suddenly heard the voices of people outside more and more boiling, as if something had happened, and from time to time there were bursts of curses and cries of children and women. Xiao Linghu was a little strange, he didn't know what happened on this big night, he wanted to get up and check it out, but he looked at the briefcase next to him, and pressed down this curiosity.
But Mr. Yan, who was in the lower bunk, was more curious, so he had already put on his clothes, put on his shoes, opened the hatch, and looked outside. A cold wind blew in from the door, making Xiao Linghu shiver involuntarily, looking at the lights flickering outside the door, he couldn't help asking, "Mr. Yan, what's going on outside?" ”
Mr. Yan did not answer his question, quickly closed the hatch, returned to his bunk, and quickly packed up his things.
Xiao Linghu couldn't help but lean out and asked again, "What happened?" ”
Mr. Yan looked up at him, he was already neatly dressed, put a black top hat on his head, and carried a wooden box in his hand, and said to him: "I'm going to get off the ship, there will be a date later!" ”
"Hey, didn't you go to Chizhou?" Xiao Linghu was a little strange.
Mr. Yan didn't answer, walked to the door with his luggage, and as if he had thought of something, he turned around, and there was already a square package in his hand.
"Little brother, it's the first time we met, there's nothing good, I'll give you this!" As he spoke, he put the things on Xiao Linghu's bed, turned around and opened the hatch, and left quickly.
Xiao Linghu was a little puzzled and took the square package in his hand, checked it, and felt a little heavy, and he didn't know what it contained.
"What's that?" I don't know when, Feng Xuan woke up, he also sat up from the bed, and looked at what Xiao Linghu was holding in his hand.
Xiao Linghu shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”
"Open it and take a look!" Feng Xuan suggested.
When Xiao Linghu was about to open the seal, the hatch was suddenly slammed open, and before Xiao Linghu and Feng Xuan could react, a group of wolf-like policemen rushed in from the front, led by a leader who was shining around with a flashlight, and behind him, there were seven or eight people with flashlights.
"Don't move!" There were already policemen with guns warning at the door.
The lights were turned on, and the faint electric lights were still flickering due to the unstable voltage, but they could illuminate the entire cabin.
"What are you doing?" Feng Xuan asked first.
The leading policeman was vicious, and walked directly to Feng Xuan's bed, if it wasn't for Feng Xuan sitting on a high place, he would definitely wave and beat someone. He stared at Feng Xuan and scolded, "You don't have long eyes, don't you see that we are policemen and are on a mission?" ”
Feng Xuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately a smile appeared on his face, and he apologized: "It turned out to be a policeman, didn't the little one just wake up and haven't reacted yet?" ”
The police leader, who was supposed to be a captain, snorted and ordered, "Check him first!" ”
Two police officers immediately jumped up behind him and said to Feng Xuan, "What's your name?" Where are the people? Where are you going? ”
Feng Xuan had no choice but to tell the truth.
The policemen didn't see anyone registered, so they asked casually, as if they were all memory gods.
Xiao Linghu gritted his teeth with hatred, remembering that when he was not a soldier, he was also angry with the police, but now he is single and weak, if he really has to take one out, he has to kill these policemen. He also knows that these policemen are the most snobbish, and they are always bullying the weak and afraid of the hard.
