Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Uncle's Advice (Part 2)
Yan Ruofei and the three of them stood on the shore, and the wind blew them a little sluggishly. Suddenly, Liu Cheng pointed to the west shore: "Boss, look at the two people over there, it's really hard to confirm if you don't look carefully." ”
"Where, where? Why didn't I see it? Zheng Sanming looked westward, shook his head and asked.
Yan Ruofei saw it, he waved his hand to the two of them, let's find a hidden place and see who the two people are walking over. ”
After about half an hour, as the two people approached and slowly zoomed in, Yan Ruofei was sure that these were two suffering people, and he could see that the two people were looking back and forth and the rolling waves from time to time along the waterline of the tide on the shore, as if they were looking for something.
When they got closer, even the clothes of the two people could be distinguished, their noses and eyes, they wore straw shoes made of pigskin, and the clothes they wore were thin and ragged, and they could not stand up to the wind and waves on the shore of the sea, and they would be blown up at any time when they swayed with the wind.
Yan Ruofei took Liu Cheng and Zheng Sanming down the embankment, stopped at the edge of the tide mark of the sea, and with the impact of the waves, bounced back and forward, avoiding the tide of the bank, just like that, his clothes and pants were still wet.
Two people who were looking for the sea and the shore walked up to them, and an older one reminded: "Young man, be careful under your feet, if you are pulled into the sea by the tide, it will be troublesome, you have nothing to do and hurry away, this ghost weather is still far away from the sea and safe." ”
Yan Ruofei followed the two people who walked forward while talking, and asked accostingly: "Uncle, you are walking along the tide print, it seems that you are looking for something, I don't know what you are looking for, can we help?" ”
The old man said with a bitter face: "Hey, it's not that people are poor, every time there is a strong wind on the sea, I will walk along the beach to see if I can pick up some things on the waves, if I am lucky, I can pick up some." Hey, most of them go back empty-handed, this is a blind delay, but there is still that hope in my heart, and when it comes to this weather, I can't help but go to the beach and wander around. ”
As soon as Yan Ruofei heard this old man say this, he moved his heart and then asked, "Old man, have you ever been to this Kagoshima?" ”
"I've been up before, and in the past few years, I have asked the little devil to occupy it, saying that there is a secret warehouse built in it, and it is very troublesome to check it on a trip, and I also need a residence permit for the little devil on the island, and others have to show their passes when they go to the island, and they are very strict."
Yan Ruofei ignored it and then asked, "Uncle, how big is this island?" There are a lot of poor people, right? ”
The old man sighed: "Kagoshima is not small, there is a land of ten miles and eight miles from east to west, and no less than seven or eight miles from north to south, the south is gentle, the east is a little better, and the west and north are mostly cliffs, and it is difficult to go up and down." ”
He paused for a moment and then said: "Only the little devil occupies Kagoshima, the poor people on the island can be regarded as eight lifetimes of mold, the original one or two hundred families live on fishing, and living on the island is quite passable, now it's good, they are enclosed together, the fishing boats and fishing nets have also been robbed, and there are not many crops on the island, hey, a few people can starve to death in any year, this little devil who has been damned by God, it's bad." ”
Yan Ruofei asked tentatively: "Uncle, is there no other way to enter the island?" What if relatives on the island or outside the island are in a hurry and need to contact them in a hurry? ”
"Hey, don't look at the high tide now, the shore and Kagoshima are separated by seawater, and it looks like you can't pass without a boat, but there is a ebb and flow in this sea, and when the tide falls, the sea water in this sea recedes, revealing the sludge on the bottom of the sea, but close to Kagoshima twenty or thirty zhang away, there is a sea river, the width of the river is seven or eight zhang, the narrowest is about three zhang, and the depth of the water can be more than two meters."
The old man shook his head when he said this: "If people outside the island have urgent contact, they will secretly step on the sludge of the seabed at low tide, swim to the Haihe River, and then walk a section of the sludge seabed to the opposite shore, but the seabed sludge has some places to go up, only leaving shallow footprints, but in some places, it will reach the chest when you step on it hard, and people who don't know it is really not good to sneak back and forth." ”
Yan Ruofei's heart moved, and then asked, "When will the tide fall, and how long will the tide last?" ”
"It is often said that 'the moon is full and lacking, and the sea has the ebb and flow', which is also regular, if I am not mistaken, the tide should fall at ten o'clock tomorrow night, and it will take two hours from the low tide to the high tide."
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Yan Ruofei: "Young man, you must not go to Kagoshima if you are fine, once the little devil sees that you are suspicious, you will be caught and beaten half to death, and it will be a fortune teller, and if you don't get it right, you will throw your life on the island and throw it into the sea to feed the fish." ”
Yan Ruofei smiled: "Uncle, you are too careful, I just ask casually, I won't touch the moldy head if it's okay, you should go back early, the wind and waves are high, as you said, it is very dangerous to walk on the tide print." ”
After he finished speaking, he stopped, watching the two bleak backs go farther and farther, slowly becoming smaller, until it was blurred, Yan Ruofei shook his head and came back to his senses, he looked at the sea in front of him and Kagoshima on the other side of the sea, turned around and walked to the shore, looked back for a while, and then left the sea of wind and waves.
The three of them returned to the city, found a remote snack shop, each asked for two large bowls of noodles, drank them cold and hungry, their stomachs were full, and their bodies were a little warm, and they got up and went back to the broken courtyard, where it seemed that they were going to spend the night again.
The next day, the three of them got up very late, Liu Cheng went out to buy a few steamed buns, and said nervously when he came back: "Boss, I don't know what happened in the city, the enemy puppet army is stepping up patrols again, and when I see a suspicious person, I will stop and check, what do you say will happen?" ”
Yan Ruofei guessed: "It should be that the underground organization has done something in the city, it was discovered by the enemy, and it is being searched and arrested throughout the city, let's not go out during the day, I will go out at night and find out some news." ”
As night fell, Yan Ruofei tightened his clothes and pants, walked out of the broken courtyard, and disappeared into the night, like a swimming black fog, quickly drifting to the southwest.
He sat in He Mei's room, picked up the teapot on the table, drank a few cups in a row, and then picked up a Japanese book on He Mei's bedside and looked at the waiting He Mei.
After a short time, He Mei walked into the house and suddenly found Yan Ruofei sitting at the table, falling asleep with his head on the table, and the book fell on the ground.
She hurriedly locked the door from the inside, walked quickly to Yan Ruofei's side, and shouted in a low voice: "Boss, boss, have you come a long time ago?" ”
Yan Ruofei woke up and stood up, and said embarrassedly: "Hey, this nap, I didn't expect to fall asleep, you, you just came back?" ”
He Mei pressed Yan Ruofei on the chair, looked at his haggard face, and said distressedly: "Boss, how did you do it, I didn't see you for a day to make yourself so haggard, did something happen again?" ”
"I came to ask you, what is going on today when the enemy suddenly increases patrols on the streets and strictly checks pedestrians?" Yan Ruofei asked anxiously.
"I went to work for the first time today, An Jin Dazuo showed me some information, and asked someone to take me to familiarize myself with the relevant departments of the Japanese garrison Xinmu City Headquarters, and from their conversations, I heard that the garrison grain depot in the city was stolen last night, and since this incident happened yesterday, the whole city has begun to arrest key criminals, and the people in the city are panicking."
When He Mei said this, she looked at Yan Ruofei and asked, "Did you do this?" ”
Yan Ruofei shook his head: "It's none of my business, I'm here today to tell you, I'm going to carry out a secret mission tonight, once something happens to me, don't be nervous, me." ”
He Mei didn't wait for Yan Ruofei to continue, quickly reached out to cover his mouth, and said with a disgusted face: "Boss, you won't have a problem, you are our boss, if you have an accident, then what should we do?" What should I do? If it's too dangerous, don't force it, can you promise me? ”
Yan Ruofei shook his head with a smile and said: "I have to do this thing, no one else can replace it, don't worry, I will pay attention to safety, hehe, my boss hasn't done it yet, you wait for me to come back, goodbye." ”
He stopped being verbose and quickly left the Wu house. A lonely figure is walking forward in the night, he is Yan Ruofei, tonight, he is going to implement a bold new plan, a plan that makes the little devil tremble.
