Lin Xiuxuan secretly picked a thumbs up in his heart, Comrade Ma Qiang is really good, although he is not calm enough.

The bell rang, and the barricade at the railroad crossing creaked and shook. Lin Xiuxuan and Lu Dacheng returned to the truck and continued their journey to Shanghai, they crossed the Shanghai-Hangzhou railway, along the Songjin Highway next to the railway, all the way to the north, and soon arrived at the Huangpu River There is only a railway bridge, but there is no road bridge, but there is a car and passenger ferry terminal at the end of the dirt road.

The wharf here to cross the river is very small, and the non-powered barge is used to pull people and carts to cross the Huangpu River, Binggen told Lin Xiuxuan that he was lucky today, and the time to arrive was just right, otherwise it would be more than an hour to wait for the next shift.

The so-called ferry boat was made of two square barges connected by a cement deck and was boxy, with several lifebuoys tied around it, but there were no guardrails. The truck took up a small part of the ferry boat, and a dirty Chevrolet wagon from the post office and a few large carts loaded with chickens and ducks could no longer fit anything, and the donkey carts and carriages in the back had to wait for the next shift.

The ferry boat went offshore, Lu Dacheng and Lin Xiuxuan got off again, ran to the bow of the ferry, and watched the boat on the river.

On both sides of the barge, there are 3 boats on each side of the boat to operate a penny long enough to be inserted into the bottom of the river to support it, and then work hard to walk and push at the same time, so that the ferry boat forward, from time to time there are still people shouting a few horns to adjust the rhythm on both sides of the ferry, so as not to take a fork in the course of the barge on the river or cross over. Lin Xiuxuan was also an eye-opener, he finally knew why each ferry had to wait for more than an hour, it turned out that these boats were driven by manpower.

Many of the sailboats on the main channel of the river sailed slowly in tandem, and all but the first and last boats lowered their sails. Most of the wooden boats are loaded with logs and coal, and they look like heavy cargo.

Lin Xiuxuan has been paying attention to the draft of these ships, in his plan, he needs a boat of this size to transport supplies in the river, but it is better to have a sailboat, otherwise there is no one on the 419 who can operate the sailboat, but he did not see any motor boats on the river. The boatmen on these ten-ton sailing boats, some wearing short coats, some walking around shirtless, looked very leisurely, the people on the former boat just emptied the toilet, and the people on the latter boat came up directly from the river to fetch water, wash and cook on the stove, without any scruples.

"Director, I always feel that the river seems to be wider, and the water seems to be clearer."

"I think it's wider, too, maybe it got narrower later, right?"

"Look at that railway bridge," the boatswain said, pointing to a low, dilapidated railway bridge to the west, "I grew up in Fengjing, and I only knew about the Huangpu River Bridge on the Tingwei Highway to the east, but I didn't know that there was a Shanghai-Hangzhou railway bridge before liberation. ”

"The 1909 barrel car of the Shanghai-Hangzhou Railway naturally has a bridge across the Huangpu River, but the bridge was blown up by the defeated national army in 1949, and the bridge was not on the original site after the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"It seems that we took the right ride today, and saved a lot of twists and turns."

"Saving time is still secondary, have you noticed the pass issued by the * ministry just now?"

"See."

"Taking his car should save more trouble, you think, Comrade Ma Qiang brought an arsenal, and the 500,000 counterfeit coins are not easy to bring into the concession."

"So, with the pass of Binggen, we can go all the way unhindered?"

"Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and now we can't be too optimistic, that pass station is only useful for entering the concession, and it is useless to deal with the Japanese puppet police in Huxi and Zhabei." Lin Xiuxuan said, looking up at the sky, I don't know if Cheng Dayang has explored the road in advance, or if he is just stupidly flying on his head.

His vicious speculation about Cheng Dayang was unreasonable, and the drone did not wait for the ferry to reach the Songjiang boundary on the north bank, and had already searched the northern region on its own.

Cheng Dayang held a cup in the morning, stood behind the drone operator's seat, watched the team's actions, and asked the drone to fly as far as possible, search along the pothole road, and provide early warning, but he never saw any real danger.

"Captain, there seems to be a situation in the north."

Cheng Dayang, hurriedly bent down and watched carefully.

Above the screen, there are several clouds of smoke and dust stretching to the south, and he puts down his cup and orders to zoom in. He could then confirm that they were 4 trucks, the first two with dozens of yellow-uniformed personnel, and the last 2 with wooden rejection horses, apparently in trouble.

This was a situation that caught him off guard, and when he continued to zoom in, he could see that the people in the car were all carrying guns and dressed in similar clothes to the security team he had seen before.

Fortunately, the truck did not drive directly to the ferry, but stopped at the intersection of two roads half a mile away, and the people above jumped out of the car, dispersed the vendors at the intersection, and then dragged the rejected horse out of the car and erected it in the middle of the road, blocking the road to the north, leaving only a road to the west, which remained unblocked, and the road led to Songjiang County.

Subsequently, the security guards began to search the passing vehicles, and they could not see any purpose for them, but they just rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to check all the people on the highway, and the search was quite careful, and after a while, many vehicles were waiting to be checked on the road. Cheng Dayang thought to himself: Maybe Lin Xiuxuan was clever enough to let go of the captain of the security team, and he caused trouble at this time?

Ma Qiang sat in the back of the truck and received the information about the submarine, he quickly jumped out of the car to let Lin Xiuxuan have an idea, but now that the boat is in the center of the river, he can't turn back, and there is nothing he can do to deal with it.

As soon as the truck came ashore, it was stuck behind a long line of cars. In front of the chaotic convoy, there were mainly donkey carts transporting watermelons and vegetables to the city and Songjiang, manpower yellow croaker carts delivering aquatic products, and wheelbarrows pushed by merchants, mixed with a black sedan full of luggage and dust, followed by a dirty Chevrolet truck of the post office, all of which were stuck in traffic and could not move.

Lin Xiuxuan sat in the cab of the Dodge car at the end of the high, and saw the soldiers who were guarding the horses and loaded guns 200 meters in front of him, and he was surprised for a while. When he was on the ferry, he had already known in advance that there was a situation ahead through drone reconnaissance, but in fact, he was just pretending to be surprised, but where did the truck driver Binggen know, and he jumped out of the car in a hurry to inquire, Lin Xiuxuan remained silent, raised his hand and knocked on the back window of the cab, reminding Ma Qiang to be careful. The checkpoint in front of me is not specifically here to trouble myself, I don't know, if Yao Laoba is standing in that pile of security guards, the situation will be serious. Even if it's not Yao Laoba's problem, the things that Ma Qiang is carrying in the box can't be exposed, it seems that abandoning the car is a must, but how to manage it? I can only wait for Binggen to come back and see the opportunity.

After a while, Binggen returned to the car in a huff, and without Lin Xiuxuan asking, he poured beans himself and said first.

"Mom's, it was the people of the garrison headquarters who added posts, saying that every car had to be searched once before they could pass, and those who were soldiers were taking advantage of the opportunity to rip off bamboo and bar, just now they grabbed two boxes of watermelons, these skinless and faceless things, they bully the Chinese."

"I said Master Zhao, they won't embarrass your car, right?"

"I'm not afraid, this cart is full of salt, and my sons can take as much as they can, so that the dogs won't be killed. I'm just sorry for the delay. Depending on the situation, you can't get by for two hours? ”

"Did you do a lot of work on this road before?"

"It's not much, the youth training camp of the garrison and the security team are lazy, they generally don't go to the countryside, there must be something big today, they all pulled it out all at once, and they all took it with it, hehe, now these turtle grandsons have a chance to grab floating money."

Lin Xiuxuan immediately pretended to be surprised.

"Master, they won't embarrass us ordinary people who hitchhike, right? You're pulling salt in this cart, but our boss has some belongings in his box. ”

Lu Dacheng next to him immediately understood what Director Lin meant, and he wanted to find a way to get out, so he forced out a crying face: "Yes, what can I do?" All the silver I brought with me in the countryside is on me. ”

"Oh, didn't you say it earlier, now it's an economic criminal to secretly possess silver dollars and gold bars." Binggen said.

"My mother still pointed me into the concession to marry a daughter-in-law, what should I do?" Lu Dacheng slapped his thigh and continued to howl.

"I said this young master, this year, you don't dare to expose your wealth?" Binggen reminded kindly.

"Who said it wasn't, young master, we can't talk nonsense," Lin Xiuxuan turned his head, "I said Master Binggen, can you get past this level?" ”

"I can't keep it all, sometimes they are lazy, and they can pass it with a greeting, but if you young owners haven't seen too much of the world, they can't hold their breath, and they are seen by those soldiers, but they will be energetic, and they really want to search for silver dollars, feed the dogs in vain, and don't say it, if you don't do it, you have to do a crime of resisting the central reserve coupons and colluding with the enemy, and when the time comes, the silver dollars will be confiscated, and I am afraid that you will have to put some money into it to redeem people."

"Are they really that bad?"

"Of course, in Lu Ying's garrison headquarters, there are all experts in doing this, and Wu Sibao from the special headquarters, it will be even worse to smoke, I am also a literate person who can read the newspaper, and the little rich man in the countryside who has shown a little bit of wealth over the years has skinned them alive and cleaned up obediently."

As soon as he said this, the fear on Lu Dacheng's face suddenly increased.
