Thankfully, although the passenger ships on the Yangtze River are not as huge as those that sail the Pacific and Atlantic Coasts, each passenger has his own room. Yan Guang's Yangtze River passenger ship is a two-story ship, the first and second floors are cabins where passengers live, and the top of the second floor is an open-air platform on which passengers can relax and enjoy the scenery.

There are a lot of cabins on each floor, and Yan Guang hasn't counted them carefully, but I believe it can carry a lot of people.

"Please give me your ticket." The staff in charge of checking the ticket motioned for Yan Guang to show him the ticket.

"Okay." After speaking, Yan Guang handed her the ticket in his hand.

"You can go up." After checking the tickets, the staff turned sideways.

After boarding the ship, Yan Guang found his own cabin on the second floor, although the space in the cabin was not as good as the passenger ** when he returned to China, but considering the tonnage of this passenger ship, it is not bad.

After putting all the luggage away, Yan Guang ran to the platform on the roof of the cabin and watched the scenery around him.

At this time, Yan Guang found that there seemed to be many people like himself, who also ran to the platform to watch the scenery, among which in addition to a very beautiful female student and the old man, three young people dressed as soldiers were the most eye-catching.

"It's the dress of the new army, and I don't know where it is." The difference between the new army and the old army (patrol battalion) is still obvious, and the military uniform of the new army can be said to have certain characteristics of modern military uniforms, although the light blue color makes Yan Guang always feel a little awkward.

In contrast, although the uniforms of the patrol battalions are no longer the coats of the past, there is always a feeling of incomplete evolution compared with the uniforms of the new army.

However, Yan Guang glanced at the red epaulettes on the shoulders of the three soldiers, who seemed to be just ordinary soldiers.

After looking at the three soldiers for a while, and finding that they didn't notice that he was observing them, Yan Guang turned his gaze to the scenery on the Yangtze River.

After about thirty minutes, the passenger ship finally set sail, but at this time, the passenger ship once again passed by a British ** ship, which made Yan Guang frown for a while. Yan Guang noticed that the three new army soldiers just now also had a little ugly faces when they saw the British ** ship.

Traveling by land and water is much easier than traveling by land, and the speed is also faster than by land, after all, there will always be all kinds of troubles on the road, and there are all kinds of rugged mountain roads that make you want to go faster. In contrast, land and water are no problem, as long as they don't encounter any difficult problems, land and water are synonymous with unimpeded access.

"Is this Nantong?" It only took five hours, and by the evening the passenger ship had arrived in Nantong City.

The passenger ferry set sail again after a short period of time in Nantong, this time the passenger ferry dropped a lot of passengers, and at the same time carried many passengers again.

Looking at the boatload of passengers, thinking of the silver dollars spent when buying tickets, Yan Guang suddenly felt that maybe opening a steamship company seemed to be a good choice, but thinking about the cost of opening a steamship company...

"Sure enough, I'm only suitable for a small business..."Thinking of the more than 200,000 silver dollars he carried with him, Yan Guang sighed again.

When it was time to eat, Yan Guang went back to his cabin and ate casually and lay down.

"Alas, how to survive in the next few days, when I come back, there are bean sprouts and two foreigners to play mahjong with me, who can I find to relieve my boredom now?" Yan Guang regretted a little why he didn't buy a game of chess, poker or something when he first arrived in Nantong, or simply buy a game of Go and then play backgammon with someone else.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now, and if you want to buy it, you can only wait for the passenger ferry to the next destination, Zhenjiang.

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Guang, who was already asleep, was woken up by the whistle of the passenger ship. When I picked up my watch, it turned out to be six o'clock in the morning.

"Damn, it's only six o'clock." Although he slept at nine o'clock yesterday, Yan Guang's habit was to sleep ten hours a day, and now he woke himself up at only six o'clock, and Yan Guang's heart was a little angry.

After opening the door and walking out of the cabin, Yan Guang was taken aback when he looked at the city that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Wouldn't it, you arrived in Zhenjiang so soon?" At this time, Yan Guang realized that the horn just now was to remind the passengers who were wearing it that the passenger ship had arrived in Zhenjiang. The next step is naturally to get off the boat for those who want to get off the boat, and for those who want to get on the ship.

"Maybe in less than a week, I will be able to arrive in Yucheng."

When he learned from the crew that the ship would not set sail again for two hours after docking, Yan Guang immediately disembarked with the other passengers.

Having learned yesterday's lesson, Yan Guang plans to buy some things for recreation at the port, such as chess, mahjong, poker, reading books, etc., and of course, fruits to eat on the ship.

It's a pity that this era is too different from later generations in terms of entertainment, and after a full hour in the port, in addition to fruits such as apples and pears for eating, Yan Guang only bought today's newspapers and vernacular Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the West and Romance of the Gods. Originally, the bookseller was going to sell Yan Guang Dream of Red Mansions, but Yan Guang really had no interest in this kind of book, so he didn't buy it.

"Boss, do you have mahjong here?"

Yan Guang, who was already about to return to the ship, saw that it was actually the three New Army soldiers he saw on the passenger ship.

"Yes, yes, of course." Hearing that he was going to buy mahjong, soon the boss walked out. "What do you want?"

"We're just spending time on the boat, and the cheapest one will do." The soldier in the middle laughed.

"Understood." The boss soon ran out with a wooden box. "Do you think that's okay?" After speaking, he opened the wooden box, and it was full of mahjong carved from wood.

"Okay, that's it." After paying the money, the soldier took the wooden box. "That's it, and then you can make a table with one more person on the boat."

"Well, I don't really know how to spend my time otherwise." The other soldier laughed as well, but only one soldier looked uninterested.

Hearing this, Yan Guang hurriedly stood up. "Three is missing one? Can you count me as one? ”

"You are?" The three people who were already preparing to go back saw Yan Guangleng who suddenly jumped out.

"I'm also a passenger on the ship, and I originally planned to buy a box of mahjong and then spend time with three people, but I just happened to hear the words of the three of them, so I plan to come in."

"Oh?"
