Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 367 Precious Gift

The present French Concession exists in name only.The Japanese and people from No. 76 ran here to arrest people at will.

The French patrols are distracted and don't care about anything.

Therefore, from June to now, murder and shooting incidents have occurred frequently in the French Concession.

Lin Zhengjiang ran out more than 200 meters to join Qian Xiaobao who was waiting for him, disappeared into the alley.

The two came out from the other end of the alley and got into a taxi.After changing several rickshaws and taxis in a row, they turned several streets in Shanghai and took a taxi to the pier.

When Qian Xiaobao took Lin Zhengjiang aboard the Sea King, several soldiers were sitting on the deck eating oranges.

He knew that Zhang Xinzhai had delivered the promised two hundred baskets of oranges on board.

Qian Xiaobao walked into the cabin where he and Kawamoto Taro lived.

Taro Kawamoto stood up and glanced at Lin Zhengjiang behind him without speaking.

"Has Mr. Zhang's people arrived?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Just arrived, there are three people in total." Kawamoto Taro replied.

Qian Xiaobao said to Lin Zhengjiang: "You stay here first." Then he turned to Taro Kawamoto and said: "Take me to see them."

Taro Hemoto was in the front, and Qian Xiaobao walked into another cabin behind.

Seeing someone walking in, the three people in the cabin immediately stood up and nervously looked at Qian Xiaobao who came in.

Two are young people in their 20s, and the remaining one is at least in their 50s!

"Grandpa Zhang, please let me protect your safety and send you to Manchuria temporarily. I will send you back when the news subsides. My brothers and sisters can sleep peacefully, and they are safe now." Qian Xiaobao said to the three people.

"Just say what you need, don't be polite! I won't bother you, let's rest." Qian Xiaobao walked out of the cabin after saying this.

The iron door of the cabin was slammed shut again.

"Second Uncle, are you okay? Didn't you just say to be careful of Mr. Zhang killing the donkey?" A young man said to a man in his 50s.

"Now that I'm on a Japanese ship, it's really useless to be on guard. It's too late to kill you!" replied the man in his 50s.

Qian Xiaobao walked 30 meters along the side of the boat and stopped.He leaned on the railing and looked at the brightly lit Shanghai Bund.

"When will we do it? Do I need to go to Major Mori Yong and ask him to send some soldiers over?" Kawamoto Taro asked.

It took Qian Xiaobao a long time to ask: "You have been in Manchuria for several years, have you ever heard the saying that you have a son without eyes? If you do too many immoral things, you will be punished!"

"But what about the 500 yuan ocean that the people sent by Zhang Xinzhai secretly sent?" Hemoto Taro asked.

"I will hand over the 500 yuan to the Minister of Intelligence when I go back home. These three people will just stay in the grain warehouse and work." Qian Xiaobao replied.

He would never put money that outsiders saw into his pocket.

"You find another cabin to stay in. I want to have a few words with the person I brought here." Qian Xiaobao said to Taro Hemoto.

Taro Hemoto never asked about Lin Zhengjiang who was on board with Qian Xiaobao.

"You can ask Major Sen Yong, if you are ready, you can sail at any time." Qian Xiaobao said.

When Qian Xiaobao walked into the cabin, Lin Zhengjiang sat blankly and didn't move.

"It's okay, no one will chase after the boat. It's just that you jump off the boat at the mouth of the Yangtze River and swim 3000 meters to Chongming Island, can you do it?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" Lin Zhengjiang replied.

"What will you do when you get to the island?" Qian Xiaobao asked again.

"Go north by boat to Jiangsu, and then to Chongqing. I can't stay in Shanghai any longer. No. 76 must have my photo in their hand, and they must be looking for me like crazy now." Lin Zhengjiang replied.

It is thousands of kilometers from here to Chongqing, all the way is occupied by the Japanese.

Seeing Qian Xiaobao's worried eyes, Lin Zhengjiang said: "It's okay, I can find the people in the military command when I arrive in Nantong, and let them arrange the route."

Qian Xiaobao rummaged through all his pockets, put all the odds and ends on the table and pushed them in front of Lin Zhengjiang.

Lin Zhengjiang was not polite either, he grabbed the money on the table and stuffed it into his pocket.Then he took a bloody handkerchief from his pocket and put it on the table.

Lin Zhengjiang held a corner of the handkerchief and opened it, revealing a white and tender finger!

On the pale, bloody finger was a gold ring set with an opal.

Qian Xiaobao was someone who had seen big winds and waves, but seeing this scene was still shocking.

"You pulled out the dagger just to cut off this finger?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"Yes." Lin Zhengjiang answered with his thumb and forefinger holding the finger and looking at the ring on it.

Qian Xiaobao's lips moved.He wanted to persuade Lin Zhengjiang not to lose confidence in all women just because he was cheated by one woman, and thus develop abnormal thoughts that he wouldn't.

"Brother Lin, there are still many good women in the world. You will definitely meet them in the future!" Qian Xiaobao said.

"I didn't blame her either. It's not easy for a woman to persist until now." Lin Zhengjiang replied.

It was not easy for Xu Manyun to persist in the bloody Shanghai for nearly three years.

A woman like her is not bad even if she is a rich man's concubine, wearing gold, silver, brocade clothes and fine food.

"Do you regret killing her?" Qian Xiaobao asked again.

Lin Zhengjiang shook his head and said calmly: "This is the rule, traitors must die!"

"Brother, do you have a woman now?" Lin Zhengjiang asked.

"Yes, yes." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"Take a bright spot, don't let women be fooled!" Lin Zhengjiang said.

"No, although she is young, she has already understood life. She doesn't care about anything but money! She just wants to find a place where there are no people and live a solid life with me one day." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"That's good!" Lin Zhengjiang said.

Grabbing the base of the finger with one hand and the ring with the other, Lin Zhengjiang pulled the ring off the severed finger.

"There is nothing for you, this ring is for younger siblings."

As Lin Zhengjiang spoke, he stretched out the hand holding the ring.

You must not say no at this time!

Qian Xiaobao stretched out his palms upwards tremblingly.

As soon as Lin Zhengjiang let go, the bloody ring fell into Qian Xiaobao's palm.

Like a burning coal falling into the palm of Qian Xiaobao's palm, Qian Xiaobao felt his palm was on fire.

"Get me something to eat, and then I'll have a good sleep. Only in this way can I have the strength to swim to Chongming Island." Lin Zhengjiang said.

"Okay, I'll get it for you right away!"

Qian Xiaobao hurriedly picked up the ring, stood up and walked out.

Hearing Qian Xiaobao's words conveyed by Kawamoto Taro, Major Moriyong sent orders to the other two ships to check the oil, water and pipelines, and set sail two hours later.

Lin Zhengjiang wolfed down the food Qian Xiaobao brought back to the cabin, then fell down and fell asleep.

"Don't wake me up when the boat is sailing, call me again when you leave the mouth of the Yangtze River!" Lin Zhengjiang said to Qian Xiaobao before closing his eyes.
