Chapter 13: Survival is Hard
After arranging everything, the second master of the Jia family had already left alone at night.
In the middle of the night, under the leadership of the lynx, several teenagers from Tao Town quietly left their homes and walked along the path next to the canal in the west of the city, and after walking for about a mile, they came to a dilapidated wharf, where several people waited for a while, each digesting the unknown information they had learned today.
In the eyes of many people in Wuchang Mansion, the Jia family's family business is the boss in charge, and the second master is eating and drinking, making friends and giving gifts everywhere, but no one would have thought that the second master also has his own business, but his business is not visible, he not only sells salt and ironware, but also sells gold mines. Any kind of business order is a sin to kill the head. Risk and benefit coexist, so the second master of the Jia family is not only rich but also powerful, his power is the power of power, the entire Fuwei dart bureau in Taozhen is his power, he is using the dart bureau to charge the goods, and secretly send the goods to the buyer again and again, and the smuggling salt dealers under him are going to be dispatched again and again!
If you want to do a good job in these businesses, in addition to very reliable and capable manpower, you must also have your own shipping line, the second master chooses a combination of water and land, Wuchang City in addition to the four city gates in the east, west, north and south, the four are not moats, or tall city walls, it is difficult to sneak out quietly, but as long as you drive the boat along the canal in the west of the city to the junction with the moat, you will abandon the boat and go down, there is a dilapidated city wall, there is a path of less than half a meter along the city wall, as long as you can touch the path to get out of the city! On the calm moat, any boat will be clearly seen by the officials standing on the city wall, so no boat is allowed to float across the moat except for the official boats! Whoever dares to disobey will only be greeted by a rain of arrows and arrows!
When the second master was leaving, he said something like this, "The lord in Wuchang City is by no means the only one in the prefect, and the Zhai family doesn't want to cover the sky with one hand, and now I don't want to conflict with them just because it's not time yet, Jiangzhou is very big, you must go and see it!" ”
"Have I seen anyone coming today?" Jia Xin looked at the lynx for a long time.
Calm suddenly came out of the movement, the lynx was surprised in his eyes, only bent his index finger and put it to his mouth, and a whistle came out, not long before the water surface, and at the same time a whistle replied.
"I've seen it, we've seen it, and we've even drunk it together!" The lynx replied with a smile.
"Swallows and dwarf tigers?" Jiang Ying couldn't help but ask out loud with joy, and everyone also cast their expectant eyes on the black and thin lynx.
"That's right, it's these two short-lived ghosts!" Lynx quipped. As he spoke, he shook his hand to the water, "Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu, here!" ”
A canopy boat stopped smoothly in front of the dock, and an old man in a coarse linen suit stood at the stern of the boat supporting Artemisia!
The swallow and the dwarf tiger stood at the bow of the boat with a smile and waved vigorously.
"When the lynx informed us today, both of us had no regrets, if we didn't have something to do, I was afraid that we would not be able to do this good show!" Swallow said there regretfully.
"Get on board, get on board! A few young masters, don't talk nonsense, the officers and soldiers in the patrol battalion are sleeping soundly at this time, and if they drag it out, I don't know what the situation will be! Uncle Hu said at the stern.
Everyone tiptoed onto the boat, one by one, silently. Sitting in the bow of the boat, Uncle Hu and the dwarf tiger held the boat behind.
"Brother Tiger, Brother Tan, this is Uncle Hu, the old leader in the dart game, and he is good at delivering darts! The martial arts seem to be very exquisite! Jia Xin said softly.
"It looks quite charitable, I feel a little old, but that waist board is very straight, like a kung fu!" Jiang Ying turned her head and glanced at it a few more times.
"Uncle Hu is also a master of several of us, when I was a child, my family was poor, and the dart bureau adopted us, and it has always been Uncle Hu who taught us a few things to do things, and taught us a few martial arts and experience in the rivers and lakes!" The swallow also introduced it to everyone in a soft voice.
Listening to what you said to me at the bow of the boat, Uncle Hu looked at the dwarf tiger, pursed his lips and smiled, "It's still a few little boys, so you can get into trouble and run away at such a young age!" Interesting! ”
Half an hour later, the ship had come to the ruined city wall, and only the occasional light of the city wall in the distance was turned on, and it was pitch black in all directions, and the ship could only be docked by experience. No one spoke, and everyone held their breath and watched Uncle Hu fiddling with Artemisia there.
There was a slight dull sound of "bang", accompanied by a ripple on the water, and the bow of the ship was already against a little ground by the city wall. The lynx jumped ashore first, and then instructed the group to carry the sacks out of the cabin and carry them ashore. There are three packages of goods, and each burlap bag is wrapped strongly, and one bag weighs dozens of pounds.
Jiang Ying picked up a burlap bag with both hands and carried it on her shoulders, and went ashore slowly, for fear of making a little noise. The swallow followed closely behind and also carried a bag. Xiao Wuzi also wanted to carry an upper shoulder when he saw the situation, but Ning Yinhu grabbed it first and motioned for Xiao Wuzi to go ashore first.
After everyone went ashore, Uncle Hu handed the artemisia to the dwarf tiger, and also jumped ashore, with a steady pace, and said to the swallow and the lynx, "In the past, the road behind here was delivered by yourself, but today the owner has explained, so I have to keep up, I'm afraid that a few of you will have problems again!" ”
The dwarf tiger gently propped up the artemisia and rowed into the distance, and after it was far away, the lynx began to grope forward under the signal of Uncle Hu, and Uncle Hu and Song Tan walked at the end of the team to press the formation.
If all goes well, you can walk slowly along the city wall for dozens of meters to get into the dense forest path and escape safely! But things are so coincidental, there was no moonlight on the road tonight, it was pitch black, just at this time a crescent moon gradually revealed its light from the obscuration of dark clouds, reflected on the water, illuminating the city wall clearly!
Jiang Ying couldn't help but scolded angrily in a low voice, "Dog's day, thief!" The crowd couldn't help but quicken their pace.
Suddenly, a sharp and loud roar sounded in the night, "There are rats under the broken wall!" The brothers got up all night to catch mice!! "It turned out that a soldier on the opposite wall of the city just woke up and saw this scene.
"It's not good, run!!" Uncle Hu's eager voice sounded.
