After class in the evening, Muyang returned home, and after getting ready, he traveled directly to the time and space of the Republic of China, and here was the guest room of the cruise bound for Shanghai. He was lying on the bed at this time, and on the bed opposite was the girl he missed, Xia Kejun.

It was already dark outside, and the ship continued to sail on the sea, and from time to time the sound of waves crashing against the side of the ship could be heard. The room was not dark, there was a small light on the porch at this time, the light was very weak, but Mu Yang's eyesight was very good, and through the faint light, he saw that Xia Kejun was already asleep. His body was covered with a thin quilt, his pretty face was exposed, and the sound of gentle breathing came, very peaceful.

Although he and Xia Kejun are already very intimate, they are far from that point, of course, if Muyang wants it, Xia Kejun may not refuse, but why destroy this beautiful thing, let love circulate in the hearts of the two, which is a hundred times stronger than loveless communication.

Xia Kejun woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Mu Yang on the other side looking at him with a smile on his face, which made Xia Kejun feel a little embarrassed.

Are women beautiful when they wake up in the morning? This really depends on the person, in fact, the vast majority of them will not have any beauty, think about it, the hair is fluffy, the face is not cleaned or brushed, and maybe there are two eye droppings in the corners of the eyes, how can it be beautiful.

However, Xia Kejun is very beautiful, at least Muyang thinks that Xia Kejun, who has just woken up, is very beautiful, his eyes are a little blurry, a picture of Begonia waking up in spring, coupled with his blushing face at this time, it is even more charming.

"Brother Mu, you're awake."

"Well, wake up, are you going to get up?"

"It's better for Brother Mu to get up first, and I'll get up again."

Muyang laughed, and after getting up, he went directly to the bathroom to wash, leaving space for Xia Kejun.

After Muyang walked out of the bathroom, he saw that Xia Kejun was already dressed and had already cleaned up the beds for both of them, and said: "The ship is still two days away, and I am going to take a look at other places on the ship at noon, after all, it is very suspicious if no one goes out to show their heads in our guest room." ”

"Then Brother Mu, you have to be careful, there are many Japanese on this ship."

"Well, I know, don't forget, your big brother Mu can speak Japanese, and he has the means to deal with the Japanese."

The two of them simply ate some food brought by Muyang, which was considered to be a solution to breakfast.

In the afternoon, Muyang was dressed neatly, and Xia Kejun also tidied up her collar intimately.

Before going out, Muyang said: "I won't stay outside for long, you lock the door of the guest room after you go out, don't open anyone who knocks on the door, and don't reply, I will open the door with the key when I come back, you know." ”

"I'm going to be silent." Xia Kejun nodded in response.

In fact, Muyang did this just to prevent trouble, as for what would happen, he didn't know what would happen, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Mu Yang came to the restaurant on the ship, the ship is divided into three floors, the floor where Mu Yang lives is naturally the highest floor, and it is also where those rich people, officials and Japanese live, while ordinary people can only live in an ordinary room for a few people or even a dozen people, or even a bunk in a cabin.

The décor of the restaurant is luxurious, with a circular bar in the middle and circles of tables around it for people to eat.

Muyang chose a place by the window and could be exposed to the sun to sit down, and asked for a cup of Biluochun to taste slowly. To be honest, he doesn't know much about tea, but he can drink it and it tastes good, and in this autumn season, drinking a cup of hot tea is also a pleasant thing.

The peak of lunch has passed, and there are several tables of tea and chatting, and one of the three people at one table is an officer wearing a Japanese officer's uniform, but the rank is not high, and the highest one is a lieutenant.

After reading it, Muyang didn't care.

But he didn't look for trouble with those Japanese, but those Japanese found Muyang, but not for trouble.

"Is this gentleman Japanese?" One of the Japanese ensigns walked over and asked.

Muyang began to wonder if these Japanese were making trouble for themselves, and said, "Is there something wrong?" Muyang didn't deny or admit it, but replied vaguely in Japanese.

"Nothing else, a few of us want to play, but we lack a hand, I don't know if you're interested." The second lieutenant didn't care about Mu Yang's answer and continued to ask.

"What card, I don't know if I will." Muyang did not directly respond.

"Huaza, can you play?"

"I know the basic rules, but I don't specialize in them." Mu Yang replied.

Hanaza is a traditional Japanese card that originated in the Azuchi and Momoyama periods in Japan, and was not finalized until the late Edo (Tokugawa Ieyasu) period and continues to this day.

There are 48 cards in the Flower Book, and every 4 cards make up a month, for a total of 12 months. These 48 cards can be described as a miniature version of Japanese culture, implying not only Japanese customs, rituals, rituals, customs, but also educational implications.

Hanaza is loved by Japanese people because of its simple rules and beautiful colors. In Japan, almost no one plays poker, except for mahjong, which is the most popular way for people to play this kind of card.

"That's okay, kill the time anyway, come here."

Muyang had to follow this second lieutenant to their table, the Japanese lieutenant hurriedly beckoned to sit down and start playing, it turned out that this lieutenant likes to play cards, and likes to play multi-person flowers, and saw that Muyang was a person, so he called Muyang.

A few people chatted while playing cards, and Mu Yang knew the identities of several of them, the personnel of the Japanese Navy Logistics and Maintenance Department, these three people are the kind of skilled officers, and they will be technical nerds in the future.

And Muyang's identity for himself is a businessman, a businessman from Japan who came to China, named Yasuo Hirata.

Later, Muyang thought about whether he could learn about the current situation in Shanghai through them, after all, the data in the book did not ask the real person to come.

After Muyang played a hand, he said, "I have been doing business in China's capital and Tianjin before, Shanghai has not been here for a long time, and I don't know the situation here, if something happens, which department should I find?" ”

"Of course, it's the Japanese gendarmerie in Shanghai, and other military departments won't manage the trivial affairs of merchants."

"Are there many departments in Shanghai?"

"Of course, Shanghai's military departments are very complicated, unlike other cities, there is only one army headquarters, you see a few of us, they are subordinate to the navy, and they are responsible for the maintenance of naval warships."

"Then what other departments, tell me about it, if there is really something, it won't be a mess."

"The Shanghai Branch of the Japanese Army Base Camp General Staff," the "Shanghai Branch of the Japanese Army Headquarters," the "Shanghai Japanese Military Police," the "Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters," and the "China Fleet Staff Headquarters," the "Shanghai Base Area Command," and the "Shanghai Branch of the Third Fleet Command" are really difficult to distinguish between those who are outsiders. ”

Mu Yang listened a little big, there are too many departments, which department manages the transportation of antiques this time, Mu Yang can't grasp the key point for a while.

In the next two days, although Muyang occasionally appeared outside, nothing happened, and no one who could provide clues was found.

After three days at sea, the passenger ship finally arrived at the port of Shanghai.

The boat docked at the Sixteen Pu Wharf, Mu Yang held the luggage in one hand, and held Xia Kejun's hand with the other, followed the crowd, stepped on the pontoon bridge made of wooden boats and walked to the wharf.

"Brother Mu, where are we going first?"

Looking around, neither of them had ever been to Shanghai, looking at the noisy crowd on the dock, and they didn't know which direction to go.

"Get out of the dock first, take a rickshaw directly to ask for directions, let's find a hotel to live in first, and then slowly think about the rest of the matter." Muyang didn't know the situation in Shanghai either, so he could only take it step by step.

Out of the dock, call a rickshaw.

"Where is Mr. and Mrs. going?" The coachman asked.

"To the nearest best hotel, and, to the safest kind." Muyang said.

"Ah, the safest, that's the Japanese hotel, and now only the Japanese hotel is better." The coachman scratched his head and said.

"By the way, I'll ask you about something, if you want to rent a house in Shanghai, it's safer there." Muyang asked.

In these days, it is definitely a very dangerous thing to come out, especially in an area like Shanghai Tang, which is mixed with fish and dragons and occupied by the Japanese army, and it is even more chaotic, and it is really not easy to find a safe place.

Although Muyang doesn't trust these coachmen much, it's okay to inquire about things.

The coachman looked at Muyang and Xia Kejun's dress, and said: "What kind of house do you want to find, if it is that kind of slum, it will definitely not be safe, but with the identity of the two of you, it is estimated that you will not live in that kind of place, now there are many empty houses in Shanghai, and it is easy to rent, but I don't know which district you plan to live in." ”

Muyang thought about it, and in order to facilitate access in the future, he still chose a place closer to the pier, "It's best to be the kind of place that is not far from the pier, but it is relatively safe, and the Japanese rarely disturb it." ”

"That's really hard to find, now the Japanese are doing some kind of air defense drill every once in a while, the whole city is searched or something, there is no absolute security, but if you want to hide from some local bastards, it is better to go over there in the concession area, at least there was no chaos outside, and now it is occupied by the Japanese, except for the Japanese, there is really no one else going around there."

The driver said very sincerely, and this is also the current situation in Shanghai, where is there any absolutely safe place, it can only be said to be relatively speaking.

"Can you help? Of course, the commission is yours. Muyang said.

The coachman grinned when he heard this, helping such a person is more profitable than pulling a car, so he naturally readily agreed.

"Are you looking for a hotel or a house?" The coachman asked.

Muyang took a look, it's still early, anyway, there's no hurry to stay in the hotel, let's go see if there is a good house first.

"If there's a suitable place, look at it first."

"Why don't we go to the French Concession and have a look?" The coachman asked tentatively.
