Chapter 11: Escape by the River

Riverside ferry. The second Japanese ship.

Inside the cabin. A gasping sound similar to that of a human can be faintly heard.

Although the voice was faint, it could not escape the ears of Lan Sheng, who had good ear power. However, after all, she was a female streamer, and she was a little afraid at the moment, and hurriedly grabbed the arm of Young Master Jiang Cheng: "It is said that there are ghost boats at the riverside ferry...... How do I feel that the Japanese ship is a bit awkward here...... Is this a ghost ship? Listen carefully, do you hear the sound? Why does it seem to be a sound like a human being here?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and didn't answer, but just shook her hand. Not hot, not cold, not shocked and shivering, she was only slightly surprised.

Lan Sheng was a little shy, and quickly withdrew her hand from him.

Jiang Cheng took her and carefully inspected each box, and finally found the largest box in a hidden corner, and there was a faint sound of gasping in it.

"The Japanese army is sneaky, looking at this ship, isn't it because of this big box? Is it a person or a ghost in it?" Sheng'er asked Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng made a shushing gesture to her, and then checked, this box was covered with canvas, after he used a dagger to cut open, he opened it, and found that the box actually had a faint small hole, and there were small holes in the box, and there was a panting sound inside, it was not a living person who was closed...... Maybe it's because the air is too thin inside the box, so the panting force is increased.

"Don't be afraid, maybe it's not a ghost. Jiang Cheng pondered the strategy of unboxing.

Lan Sheng had a knife on her waist, and then she pulled out the knife and handed it to Jiang Cheng, this knife seemed to be more powerful than Jiang Cheng's dagger, and the blade was sharper, Jiang Cheng looked at it carefully, but did not receive it from his hand.

"They didn't use the real person who locked it inside the closed box, but the ice scorpion, which was stuck in the cracks of the box, as if it was frozen, and it was difficult to open. Jiang Cheng explained quietly.

"So, what is this thing?"

"The ice scorpion, in fact, is a stuck in the gap of the item, the shape is similar to the kind of tree hanging ice spirit you have seen, it is actually made of special materials, at present, in our local area, this kind of thing is very rare and rare......"

"Don't you say it so profoundly, okay? Young Master Jiang Cheng, I just want to ask you, how do you crack this? Do you use hot water or what method do you use?"

"Use the dagger in my hand, or the broadsword in your hand, and pry this and this box open. However, you can't just use a knife to cut this ice scorpion......"

Before the words fell, Lan Sheng's knife had already swung and slashed up, and then the sharp blade was cut out...... Lan Sheng's eyes immediately widened, very surprised. He asked, "What is this, and why is it so hard?"

"It's like a diamond, do you know what it's made of, and your knife won't work with it alone......

Immediately, she saw Jiang Cheng holding his dagger, prying the box little by little, she said anxiously on the side: "What is the composition? Why can't I understand what you are talking about? I just want to open it now, do you a favor, that's all, and then you quickly let me go......" Jiang Cheng smiled quietly.

They pried open the box, and it turned out that there were two women hidden in the box, but the gap in the box was so small that they could hardly breathe.

Lan Sheng, take a closer look at these two women, a woman seems to be very familiar, she has seen a photo of this woman in the tabloids, if she is not mistaken, she should be a very beautiful celebrity who is rumored to be missing by the Xu family team, called Thirteen Qing.

There was another woman she hadn't seen, but she was dressed very charmingly, with some heavy makeup and a smell of rouge gouache on her body, which seemed to be the feeling of being a comfort woman in a Japanese military camp.

One is a social celebrity, the other is like a woman in a green house, how these two people were locked up in a box at the same time, Lan Sheng couldn't figure it out.

She quietly glanced at Jiang Cheng, such a charming woman should be the type that men prefer, but Jiang Cheng's face did not change, she couldn't help but have a hint of joy in her heart, and hurriedly retracted her thoughts and asked herself, what am I happy about?......

Jiang Cheng didn't care about talking to them too much, because it didn't seem to be the right time at this moment. He asked Lan Sheng to help them up, and randomly pried open a nearby box, that box seemed to be quite special, because it was very cleverly decorated, and there were strange things in it, he checked it carefully, and looked at it, it seemed to be a similar big smoking gun, if he guessed correctly, it was opium.

No wonder the Japanese army sneakily watched these things here, they wanted to cross the river, sell these opium to other merchants, and make a lot of money......

Thirteen Qing simply affirmed the above conclusion and described it, because she was invited by the Japanese army to sing a few days ago, and accidentally bumped into knowing these things, so she was caught here by the Japanese and locked in a box.

As for the woman who was dressed up in a flamboyant manner, her name was Gu Nianxi, she was from Qinglou and was forced to be a comfort woman. But she was unwilling to engage in this business in the Japanese military camp, snatched a gun, wounded a Japanese petty officer who was smoking opium, and was also imprisoned. Originally, he was going to shoot her, but because she was a little pretentious, and the Japanese junior officer was a little reluctant, so he locked her up and let her repent and continue to serve him after she repented.

It seemed impossible to take away so much opium at once and save two more women, so Jiang Cheng ordered Lan Sheng to take the two women, and he immediately took a few small packets. Then, in the midst of the howling wind, the clever one simply restored the place to its original state.

Young Master Jiang Cheng ordered them not to make a noise, and sure enough, the Japanese were still eating on the side of the first ship, and then packed up the dishes, not noticing any movement here.

It's just that the wind is getting stronger and stronger, the tornado on the river, roaring, the Japanese army didn't have time to dodge, they were knocked over, and then the rain swept them like a downpour, they couldn't move around on the boat, some hurriedly hugged the mast of the ship, some hugged their own planks and slipped into the water, and the Japanese soldiers didn't seem to care about the situation of the second ship......

So Jiang Cheng and the four of them quietly groped, jumped down from the second boat, supported each other in the roar of the wind, and then left here.

Placing these two women in the Jiang family will definitely not work, and it will be even more impossible for the Qi Mansion, so Young Master Jiang Cheng weighed the money in his hand and simply rented an inn room for the two of them nearby.
