Chapter 14: Advanced (2)

This Mo Tianzong is really funny and scheming! Looking at the tricycle in the distance, standing at the door of the Hongjing Hotel, Li Shigui smiled. Early in the morning, he came to the Hongjing Hotel to pick up the two of them, waited in the lobby for a while, and walked down the stairwell with a man and a woman, which scared Li Shigui a lot. If it weren't for the fact that he knew it in his heart, he wouldn't have recognized it at all. Mo Di had a thin felt hat on his head, pressed his eyebrows low, and pressed his already small face to only half of it, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses took up most of his cheeks. The upper body is a fairly elaborate placket straight jacket, and the lower side is a pair of waist and foot hanging crotch pants, the crotch is almost hanging to the knees, and it is very funny to pull and pull when walking. The only normal thing is the cloth shoes under the feet, the soles of the cloth shoes are more exquisite, nailed with a layer of tire glue, compared with ordinary cloth shoes worn wear-resistant, a pair can top three pairs. Zhou Shiming also changed greatly, the small floral right cardigan shirt was wide and large, hanging to the knee, revealing a pair of corduroy pants, and a pair of leather shoes under his feet, half-old, not very clean. What is completely different from yesterday's Zhou Shiming is that the hairstyle has been changed to the bun of the rural daughter-in-law, and she is also covered with a pig's blood-red towel, revealing a face, which is by no means yesterday's white and red, but yellow and black.

"Oh my God!" Li Shigui smiled and said, "Tianzong, you plan to use this image to go to Guilin?" ”

"As long as you can get there safely, it doesn't matter how ugly it is." Mo Di said.

Two people carry a burden, the burden is not big, tied very tightly, with a kind of play similar to a child's strap, it is also convenient to carry it on the back. Relatively speaking, the proportion of Mo Enemy's back is small, and the lady's back is slightly larger, and it can be seen that the main labor force of these two people is the woman.

Mo Di is very rich and hangs a leather bag on his chest, obviously, this is the place where the money is placed, and the reason why he puts it in front of him is to be able to pay attention to it at all times.

Li Shigui, who was dressed in formal clothes, knew that it was really incongruous to walk with Mo Di who was dressed like this, so he had to say goodbye in the hotel lobby and let a guard in civilian clothes send him across the Yangtze River.

Anqing ferry, not far from the ferry in front of Yingjiang Temple, there is a distance from Hongjing Hotel, the guards found a manpower tricycle for the Mo Enemy couple to sit, they don't know where to get a bicycle, followed by the manpower tricycle. When they arrived at the riverside, the guards pushed their bicycles to transition together, and after going ashore at the Jiangnan Grand Ferry, the guards found a tricycle and took the Mo Di couple to a small square in front of the Guanyin Temple. There, a Nissan rabbit truck was parked, and in the compartment of the truck, there were several wooden planks on the side, and seven or eight people were already sitting on it. The guard had the ticket in his hand and handed it to the car owner, who looked at it, pointed to the two places on the left closest to the driver's building in the car, and let the two of them sit on it.

After a while, the car was full of people, driving. This is a shuttle bus from Anqing to the east every day, one round trip a day, Dadu port to the east to about 130 miles, about three hours of travel time. There is a car to travel, Mo Di is very satisfied. He repeatedly confirmed this route, from the east to Fuliang is also open to cars, about 300 miles, if it goes well, it can be reached in one day. When you get to Fuliang, it is possible to catch a train, and if the train can reach Pingxiang, it will not be far from the way back.

The car started, although the speed was not fast, but it also broke a lot of wind, the car did not have a carport, the typical sun and wind blow, this feeling, a bit like making bacon in winter. Zhou Shiming went from Tongcheng to Anqing yesterday, sat in the cab, did not get motion sickness, sat in the carriage today, and before he walked out of the ten mile road, he felt dizzy and nauseous, and not long after, he fell on the railing and vomited. Zhou Shiming was not the only one who vomited in the car, one after another, and he couldn't stop.

Mo Di hugged Zhou Shiming one side to prevent her from accidentally falling out of the car, and the other hand was on Zhou Shiming's back, trying to resolve the motion sickness. After vomiting three times in a row, Zhou Shiming rolled his eyes and fainted in Mo Di's arms.

Just when Zhou Shiming, who was hugging the muddy like Mo Di, was in pain, he heard a sudden explosion in front of the car, followed by the emergency braking of the car, Zhou Shiming, who was lying in Mo Di's arms, fell out because of inertia, hit the compartment board behind the cab, and suddenly woke up.

Mo Di subconsciously touched his waist, only to realize that he did not have a gun, pressed Zhou Shiming, who wanted to struggle, and said: Just lie there, don't look up. But he stuck out his head in dissolution. I saw a strong smell of black nitrate coming from the front of the car, knowing that it was not *, it was soil*, and those who used this kind of self-prepared soil* would not be regular troops, most of them were bandits and road rage and the like.

Sure enough, I saw the car boss crawling out of the driver's building, raising his hands above his head, throwing his hands over, and saying in his mouth: "Three old and four young, uncle spare his life, everything is easy to discuss." ”

After a while, five people came out of the bushes on both sides of the road, all with guns in their hands, four branches and three eight large covers, and a pair of fourteen kings and eight boxes in the south. The person holding the 38 box smiled and said to the car owner: "The old rule, keep people and goods, you pay the money and drive away." ”

It's not the first time the boss of the car has encountered this kind of thing, knowing that there is no price to talk about with these people, he walked to the side of the car and shouted to the carriage: Bosses, I'm sorry, please get off the car and follow these uncles, I'm sorry, I don't want to.

The people in the car were reluctant to get out of the car, those sitting in the back row did not move, and the front ones could not move, Mo Enemy only helped Zhou Shiming up at this time, and said with a wry smile: "Our luck is good enough, we have encountered a robbery." Only then did Zhou Shiming react, and his yellow face suddenly turned pale.

The guy with the Wang Ba box shouted a few times, but the person sitting in the carriage still didn't get out of the car, and shouted something, only to see two guys with three or eight big covers rushing over, and reversed* and hit the person sitting by the back door. Seeing the other party's rough moves, the people in the car realized that it was useless to play tricks with them, so they opened the back door and jumped down one by one. Mo Di was the last to get out of the car, and after getting out of the car, he pulled Zhou Shiming and hid at the end of the crowd with his neck bent.

After counting the heads, the 38 box waved its gun, and the 38 big cover drove a car of people down the left side of the road.

Walk along a path for a short time, see a piece of water, Mo Enemy knows, here should be Shengjin Lake, is the Yangtze River inlet back to form a water, every year during the Yangtze River period, Shengjin Lake water surface is very vast, once into the Yangtze River water period, the water surface of Shengjin Lake is seriously contracted, become a wetland, suitable for wild birds to survive, Shengjin Lake has a lot of white-headed cranes, flocks, become a scene.

It's just that at this moment, Mo Di didn't have the scheming to enjoy the scenery of Shengjin Lake, he helped Zhou Shiming and followed at the back of the team, very glad that Zhou Shiming was Tianzu, not wrapped in small feet, if it was small feet, it would be pitiful to walk this way. Walking in front, there was a middle-aged woman with small feet, three steps, one fall, five steps and one fall, and she was covered in mud and even the top of her head was not spared.

Walking to the lake, two boats were rowed out of the lake, Mo Di and the others got on the boats, and the boats rowed eastward.

The boat didn't travel too far, and after about an hour, it reached the other side of the lake, and Mo Di and the others were driven off the boat and continued walking. After walking for about an hour, entering a low mountain with dense forests, and wearing a wooden gate, Mo Di knew that the end of the trip had arrived. This is supposed to be the lair of bandits, the mountains by the lake, and it seems that this gang of bandits is not only mountain bandits, but also lake bandits.

Although he lowered his head, Mo Di kept looking at the surrounding environment, and took Zhou Shiming's trembling hand to try to calm her down.

After being sent into a low house, the door was closed, and the escorts left, leaving a group of kidnapped people in a daze. After a while, the woman's suppressed cry and the man's stop were heard.

After a while, the door opened, and someone called out at the door, "Come out two." ”

No one moved, and the people outside were annoyed, rushed in and pulled out the two people closest to the wooden door. After a while, two more were called out, and in less than an hour, four pairs had already been called out. The people who went out did not come back, no one knew whether it was a blessing or a curse, all the people felt fear, Zhou Shiming sat beside Mo Di, hugged Mo Di's thighs hard, and trembled.

Mo Di leaned down and whispered in Zhou Shiming's ear: "Two or two call out, it means that there are not many people here, and there are not too many people at once, if you call people out like this, there are no other messy sounds, it means that the king here only seeks wealth and does not kill people, if there are other shouts, it is a big incident." ”

Before the words fell, two crisp gunshots were heard outside, and everyone's bodies trembled, and Zhou Shiming cried even more.

The two of them were called out in the fifth round, and Zhou Shiming, who was trembling and barely able to take a step, slowly walked out of the wooden door. There were two people standing outside, and what they saw was a man and a woman, and the woman had completely collapsed, knowing that there would be no accidents, so Mo Di followed them. Walk through a dirt lawn with a little grass sprouts growing and enter an adobe house. The furnishings in the tiled room resembled an interrogation room, with a table in the middle, and behind it sat a middle-aged man with a somewhat bookish smell, very thin, with a pointed chin and a half-faced beard.

"You may be seated." The middle-aged man with a pointed chin pointed to the square stool across the table.

There was only one square stool, Mo Di helped Zhou Shiming over and sat on his side, stood behind Zhou Shiming, and let Zhou Shiming lean on himself.

"Your name?" The middle-aged man with a pointed chin asked.

"In the next surname Zhou, called Zhou Shiming." Mo Di said.

Hearing Mo Di's words, Zhou Shiming was shocked, and realized that what Mo Di said was not the Xiajiang official dialect that he usually told her, it was the official dialect of Tongcheng, with a thick Tongcheng accent, Mo Di had been in Tongcheng for less than a year, and it was quite good to be able to speak such a plausible Tongcheng dialect.

"What about this one?" Pointing at Zhou Shiming, the middle-aged man with a pointed chin asked again.

"This is my mother-in-law, surnamed Liu, called Liu Ruyan, both of us are from Tongcheng." Mo Di continued to answer.

"What are you doing in Dongzhi?" The middle-aged man with a pointed chin asked.

"Our family opened a Zhou family grocery store on West Street in Mengxia Town, Tongcheng, and I plan to go to Fuliang to buy some porcelain this time and return to Tongcheng to sell." Mo Enemy's words, three points false, four points true, he knows that this type of lie is easier to gain the trust of the other party.

"Mr. Zhou, we took the liberty to invite Mr. and Mrs. Xian to be guests this time, because we wanted Mr. Zhou's strong support." The middle-aged man with a pointed chin was very polite and looked very educated, and said: "Now that the Japanese invaders are in the country, and the people are not living well, I and other Chinese, I should fight hard to resist Japan, but I lack financial resources, and I have to ask Mr. Zhou to help generously." ”

"Of course, of course, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. Although I am a businessman, I still understand righteousness. After Mo Di finished speaking, he took the initiative to untie his burden, and carefully found a small yellow croaker in the layers of baggage, and then opened the burden on Zhou Shiming's back, and also made a small yellow croaker from it. Then he opened the leather bag hanging in front of him, took out all the coins, and laid them on the table.

Two small yellow croakers greatly surprised each other. The middle-aged man with a pointed chin looked excited, picked up two small yellow croakers, knocked them on each other, and made a muffled sound, which was full of real gold.

"Very good, Mr. Zhou is very sincere in fighting against Japan, and his behavior is commendable." The middle-aged man with a sharp chin asked people to check Mo Di's burden again, searched Mo Di and Zhou Shiming again, and waved his hand to let Mo Di and the two leave. At this time, someone came in and whispered to the middle-aged man with a sharp chin: "Political commissar, there is a businessman in Huizhou who has not enough money on his body, and he wrote a letter and asked his family to redeem it, okay?" ”

The middle-aged man with a sharp chin who was called a political commissar nodded and said, "Yes, there is no priority in resisting Japan, as long as it is effective." ”

Blatant robbery, grandiose kidnapping, fully cultured hooligans! Mo Di scolded secretly, but his face was very flattering: "Thank you, thank you." ”

After paying enough money, the other party was polite, and let the two of them and the other four get in a carriage and leave quickly along the dirt road outside the cottage gate. After the carriage had been gone for about half an hour, a small market appeared in front of it, and the driver of the carriage told the six people to get out of the carriage and turn around and leave.

At this time, the six people returned to their original place with one heart, sat down on the spot, and felt the aftermath of the catastrophe.

After sitting for a while, Mo Di stood up, walked not far away, and asked the old man who set up the tea stall what kind of place this was, and the old man told Mo Di in the local dialect mixed with Huaining accent that this place was called Bai Wat. Mo Di listened to it a few times and couldn't understand, and the old man dipped his finger in the tea and wrote the word "Bai Wat" on the small table, and Mo Di knew where he had been. This is already the hinterland of Shengjin Lake, far away from the avenue. By the way, Mo Di asked who the mountain bandits who were about ten miles away from here. The old man glanced at Mo Di and asked: You were also blackmailed? Mo Wei nodded. The old man did not hide it, and told Mo Di truthfully that the group of people on the tip of Huazi were the Red Army that was broken up in Xuancheng at the beginning of last year, and they had been the king of the mountain here for more than a year, and they were disciplined, did not disturb the people, bought and sold fairly, and did not molest women, but only went to the road over there every once in a while to get a vote. As soon as they saw that outsiders were sent here, the locals of Baihu knew that they had to prepare a lot of supplies in the next two days, because in two days they would make a large purchase, and the locals would be able to make a small fortune and make a big business.

No wonder it was able to take root here, so it is.
