The sun is setting.

The setting sun stained the clouds on the horizon red, and the mountains and forests lost their original color, as if they had drunk rose wine.

The mountains in the distance were like the scenery in a dream, and I felt as if I was really dreaming.

At dusk that day, Yongzi took us out of Xu's house.

We didn't go through the gate, but walked through an air-raid shelter in the Xu family's garden. It is said that it was left over from the war of that year.

And now, it has been transformed into an underground parking lot by the Xu family......

There are also many secret passages in the air-raid shelter, and few of them know about these secret passages, even if they are within the Xu family. Carrying a flashlight, Yuko led us through a long, dark passageway, and at the end of the passage there was a faint light, and there was an iron gate. Yuko used the key to open the iron door, and then removed the branches that blocked the outside, and we walked out.

Breathe in the outside air again.

It seems that this place is no longer in the big mountain of the Xu family, we are at the foot of an unknown high mountain, next to the road. It's just that it's still sparsely populated, and there isn't even a village four or five miles away, so few people pass by, and the road is useless.

But at this time, there was a large truck pulling goods parked on the side of the road. The engine of the truck made a strange sound, and if you didn't know, you thought it was a driver who drove here and found that the car was broken, so you had to stop on the side of the road.

But I know that Xu Shangsong arranged to pick us up here.

Yuko led us forward, said a few words to the truck driver, and got into the passenger seat. Then he poked his head out again and pointed to the grocery compartment behind the van, meaning to let us hide in the back.

I got into the back compartment with Storm Handle Qing, and the back box of this truck had no door, only two curtains, which opened as soon as I pulled it. In the wagon was a bunch of chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and cats bouncing around in nets and cages, as well as some live fish, and some frogs. It's a wagon of poultry anyway.

There was a bad smell in the carriage, but none of us said anything, so it would be nice to have a place to sit at this time.

I leaned on the deepest part of the carriage with my arms crossed.

A nest of ducks in the net next to me kept quacking, and I closed my eyes and quickly got used to it.

No matter how noisy the outside voices were, my heart was as calm as the surface of the water.

Until now, I still can't forget the picture of me putting the ring on Yaoyue's hand just now......

I raised my right arm and looked at the deep nail marks on my arm, which were already red and swollen, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Of course, it was left by Yaoyue, and before I left, my arm was almost pinched by her.

She said, you made me shed tears in front of so many people, so you have to make amends to me.

I exhaled deeply, a faint smile on my lips, and closed my eyes again.

I don't know how long the car has been driving.

The road was unimpeded and did not encounter any interception by the underworld. The big truck we were in was really inconspicuous, and the sound of the cranky engine would be extremely annoying to listen to for a long time, and even the people at the gas station were reluctant to receive us.

I had been driving for seven or eight hours, and it was obviously dark outside. I pulled back the curtain on the truck and saw the twilight outside, and we were speeding down a highway. The sound of the engine and the "wow" cries of the birds around them were so noisy that it was hard to sleep.

No matter how fast the truck goes, it can't go anywhere.

I drove for more than ten hours.

By this time, the whole day had passed. The truck finally stopped, and the smell of the sea breeze came from outside the curtain. Yongzi slammed open the curtain: "Get out of the car!" ”

We jumped out of the car, and sure enough, it was the seaside, or rather, a pier, to be exact. I just don't know which city this is, I just know that it must not be in Jianghai or Beikou, and all the environment is so unfamiliar.

But I know we're at least still in China, but we're going to leave in a while.

The docks were busy with people, most of them were big men carrying cargo boxes, bending down from time to time to catch their breath and wipe the sweat from their foreheads, and there were some people who showed off their might and commanded beside them.

Yuko lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. Saying goodbye to the truck driver and leading us through the crowded crowds of people at the docks. I saw a warehouse in the distance, next to a truck, in front of the truck squatting eight or nine workers, these workers seemed to be different from the others, because they were very leisurely, there was not a drop of sweat on their faces, squatting there leisurely smoking.

Seeing us coming, all the workers stood up and shouted with a smile: "Brother Yongzi." ”

Yongzi nodded, glanced around, and then asked, "What about Lao Hong?" ”

One of the young men said, "Master Hong has gone to the cabin to prepare, and he will be back soon." ”

"Oh." Then Yongzi kicked him and scolded: "You boys, smoke here one by one, and let Hong Ye work himself?" ”

The young man was kicked by Yongzi, but he still smiled, rubbed his buttocks and said: "It was Hong Ye himself who said it, he said that he was old, and if his muscles and bones were not moved much, he would rust." ”

Yuko snorted, but it was clear that he wasn't really angry.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his fifties came back, presumably as "Hong Ye" in their mouths.

Yongzi just smoked a cigarette, flicked his fingers on the ground, and then greeted him: "Lao Hong." ”

Hong Ye laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "Yongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have made a lot of money by Boss Xu's side, right?" ”

Yongzi smiled faintly and shook his head: "I'm just a follower, and I can't talk about getting rich." ”

Hong Ye smiled and touched the black stubble on his mouth, and then he glanced at us again and asked, "Today is to transport them, right?" ”

"Yes." Yongzi nodded and said seriously: "Mr. Xu said, it must be sent to Singapore safely." ”

"Hehe, no problem." Hong Ye smiled, and then turned his head to look at us deeply.

Then, he clapped his hands at the workers in front of him: "Okay, okay, all get up, it's time to work!" "The workers immediately got up from the ground and went to the warehouse to load some of the boxes onto the ship, very quickly and well-trained, and basically didn't even look at us.

Yuko patted me on the shoulder and said to me, "It's time to go, let's get on the boat." ”

I nodded at him and said, "Thanks, Yuko." ”

Yongzi waved his hand and said, "It's useless to thank me, thank Mr. Xu, or Miss Xu." ”
