Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 411 Seeing an old friend again [-]

The three ships of the Manchukuo Maritime Police Force were docked at the pier. It was said that Qian Xiaobao should rush to the Thirteenth Army's depot to report, but he had no intention of getting off the ship at all.

Don't worry, whoever delivers the food now is the uncle.

It won't take long for the members of the Thirteenth Army to get the news and rush to the pier to unload grain.

Qian Xiaobao and Hemoto Taro stood on the side of the boat and smoked while looking at the western scenery of Shanghai on the shore.

On the pier, two men in melon caps were walking quickly towards the gangway carrying an ebony box.

"Is there a treasure master from Manchuria on this ship?" The man carrying the ebony box raised his head and shouted to the ship.

Neither Qian Xiaobao nor Hemoto Taro spoke, and looked down at the two fellows below.

"Is this boat coming from Manchuria? Is there an uncle surnamed Qian on board?" Another man shouted.

"What's the matter with you two?" Qian Xiaobao finally asked impatiently.

"The two of us are fellows of old Rongshun. An old man surnamed Lin specially ordered some dishes from our restaurant for us to deliver to the pier for Mr. Qian Xiaobao who came from Manchukuo." The fellow replied.

"I am, you two get on board!" Qian Xiaobao said.

The two believed it more than half when they looked at the Japanese military uniform on Qian Xiaobao's body.The two of them climbed the gangway with one hand and carried the food box in the other to walk on board the Sea King.

One of the guys couldn't help spitting down when he lowered his head and climbed the ladder.

In Shanghai, the only person Qian Xiaobao knew with the surname Lin was Lin Zhengjiang.So he has returned to Shanghai, and now that the Japanese and No. 76 have his photo, he still dares to come back.

The two men boarded the deck, and Qian Xiaobao led the two of them into the cabin.

The two guys opened the food box and put eight dishes and two jugs of old Shaoxing wine on the table.

"What about the plates and jug? Will you pick them up tomorrow or should I send them over?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"It doesn't matter if you don't give it away! That Master Lin has already paid extra." The man replied.

"Did the one surnamed Lin ask you to bring me a message?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"That Master Lin said that he finally came to Shanghai to let you eat, drink and have fun." The man replied.

After saying this, the two turned around and got off the boat with the food box.

"Go and call Captain Mori Yong, the three of us will taste Shanghai cuisine together!" Qian Xiaobao said to Kawamoto Taro.

The food should be unloaded soon, and Qian Xiaobao has important things to do tomorrow, so I want Captain Sen Yong to stay for a while.

Sure enough, Captain Mori Yong walked into the cabin and saw the delicious dishes on the table, his eyes lit up.

When the three of them were pushing cups and changing glasses, police soldiers came to report that people from the Thirteenth Army had come to unload grain on the boat.

Qian Xiaobao went out to deal with it, then rushed back and the three of them continued to drink.

The next morning, Qian Xiaobao spat on the leather shoes, his mouth was parched. He polished the leather shoes, put on his suit and tied his tie, and after everything was tidied up, Qian Xiaobao told Taro Hemoto: " I'll leave everything to you, and we'll go to the bank together in the afternoon."

After finishing speaking, Qian Xiaobao got off the boat carrying a heavy suitcase.

He hired a rickshaw and went directly to East Ganshi Road in Xuhui.

When the rickshaw arrived at the alley in Xingshunli, Qian Xiaobao told him to stop, looked around for a while, and then got into the alley.

He walked to the gate of the Shikumen he bought, put down his suitcase and took out the key to open the gate.

Carrying a suitcase, he walked into the Shikumen and closed the gate again. Qian Xiaobao looked around and felt that there was no change from the last time he left.

Qian Xiaobao put the suitcase in the living room, went upstairs and turned around, and then he carried the suitcase to the backyard.

Qian Xiaobao walked to the well in the middle of the backyard and bent down to look into the well.

The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is vertical and horizontal, and the groundwater is very shallow. Water can be dug out by digging a pit that is not too deep.

Qian Xiaobao looked up and looked around, he couldn't see anything behind the high courtyard wall.He double-checked the rear door, and found that the deadbolt was intact.

Only then did Qian Xiaobao take off his clothes one by one and put them aside in peace of mind until he was completely naked.

He squatted on the ground to open the suitcase, and pulled off the clothes on it to reveal two large gold bars.

Qian Xiaobao picked up a gold bar and walked to the edge of the well, bent over, his upper body leaned into the well, and when he let go, the gold bar fell into the water with a plop.

In the same way, Qian Xiaobao threw another gold bar into the well.

It was almost November now, and Qian Xiaobao had goose bumps after staying naked for a while.

He put one leg over the edge of the well and was about to jump into it when he suddenly remembered something.

"If you don't hang a rope, you can't get up after jumping down." Qian Xiaobao suddenly realized.

Qian Xiaobao searched for a long time but couldn't find the rope, so he gritted his teeth and went back to the bedroom on the second floor to take out the sheets and tear them into several pieces to connect them together.

He tied the bed sheet to a thick wooden stick, and then put the wooden stick across the mouth of the well. Qian Xiaobao stroked the bed sheet and slowly disappeared from the well mouth.

The water surface was still two meters deep from the bottom of the well, Qian Xiaobao took a deep breath and sank into the water.After going up and down a dozen times, Qian Xiaobao pulled the sheet and stopped on the surface of the well to catch his breath.

He just sank into the bottom of the well to pick up the sand and buried the two gold bars under the sand.

Qian Xiaobao slowly climbed out of the well while holding the bed sheet with both hands.He untied the sheet from the stick and stuffed it into the suitcase, and hurriedly put on the clothes regardless of the fact that his body was still wet.

Ten minutes later, Qian Xiaobao walked out of Shikumen with a suitcase.

Qian Xiaobao stopped after walking for a while, turned around and walked towards the Xianle Ballroom.

Although it's still not the time for the dance hall to open in the morning, Qian Xiaobao believes that someone will be waiting for him near the dance hall.

The food delivery guy said yesterday that Lin Zhengjiang told him that he must eat, drink and have fun when he comes to Shanghai.

He has eaten and drank well now, and now it is left to play.

But the only place Qian Xiaobao went to play was Xianle Ballroom.

That was the place he had been to with Lin Zhengjiang.Lin Zhengjiang will definitely be waiting for him near the Xianle Ballroom.

Qian Xiaobao touched the pistol on his waist and walked towards the Xianle Ballroom.

Although there are still two concessions in Shanghai in name, and there are almost no Japanese in the public concessions, Japanese soldiers can be seen from time to time in the French Concession.

Now the Japanese don't take the puppet French government seriously.

Just as Qian Xiaobao walked onto Xiafei Road, he heard someone coughing on the side of the road.

Qian Xiaobao turned his head and saw a blind man wearing a top hat and sunglasses sitting on the side of the road. There was a piece of paper written on it, which was written in big characters of sackcloth, and there were eight big characters.

"As soon as I heard your footsteps, sir, I knew that you must be a dignified and dignified person, and you will definitely have great fortune and a bright future in the future! Do you want to make a fortune?" asked the blind man.

Qian Xiaobao looked at the blind man for a long time and replied: "Didn't you just say that I have a bright future? What am I?"
