Liang Jian: I have a canteen

A cloud blocked the moonlight, and Chu Dazhuang walked quickly with two coolies.

After the two patrolmen left, his eyelids kept twitching and an ominous premonition began to linger in his heart.

"Da Zhuang, slow down!" Lao Cui behind him stopped Chu Da Zhuang who was walking in a hurry again.

"Oh~" Chu Dazhuang sighed helplessly again and stopped walking.

"Don't walk so fast. We worked all day and we'll do hard work at night." Lao Cui grumbled as he moved closer to Chu Dazhuang. "It's dark here and we can't even see the road. If we fall into the pit, we won't be able to work tomorrow."

What Lao Cui said was right. After leaving the two patrolmen, they started to take the small road.

Although Shanghai is a big city, it also has street lights.

But the street lights are only on the main roads, there are none on the small roads and alleys, and now the clouds are covering the moon, so the road is basically invisible.

It is not an exaggeration to say that you will fall into a pit. In this era, the road conditions are like this.

And the most important thing is that in this era, most of the poor people at the bottom of society have night blindness to varying degrees. As long as it gets a little dark, they will be blind.

After hearing what Lao Cui said, Chu Dazhuang looked at the dark alley ahead, let out a breath, and felt that he might have really been overthinking.

Isn’t it just that my eyelids twitched a few times?
There's no need to be so anxious!

Moreover, his eyelids were twitching, which must be due to lack of sleep. After all, he had been working during the day and collecting intelligence at night in the past few days, and he basically had not had a good night's sleep.

Just as Lao Cui said, if you rush on the road and break something, it would be a waste of time and effort.

"Okay!" After Chu Dazhuang figured it out, he agreed to Lao Cui's request.

The reason why he agreed was, on the one hand, because what Lao Cui said made sense.

On the other hand, he is a laborer now, and he is a colleague of Lao Cui. If his relationship becomes strained because of this little thing, it will have a negative impact on his future work. The dark clouds in the sky became thicker, and the darkness in the alley increased for a few minutes.

At this moment, Lao Cui and the other coolie could no longer see the road ahead clearly. It would be most appropriate to describe the situation as pitch dark as one stretches one's hand in front of one's face.

Chu Dazhuang's situation was slightly better than theirs, but not much better. At the moment, he could only barely see the road ahead.

Just like that, their pace really slowed down, and they began to grope their way forward bit by bit.

Fortunately, the three of them were traveling together, otherwise if he were alone and was shrouded in this darkness for too long, he might have mental problems.

Alleys within alleys, many places in the old city are made up of alleys of all sizes, just like a maze, making people lost in it.

Fortunately, Chu Dazhuang, who was leading the way, had a good sense of direction. Even though the light was poor, he led the two laborers successfully through the maze of alleys.

The clouds in the sky gradually shifted away, and the faint moonlight once again enveloped the earth, adding a touch of light to the dark magic city.

After crossing the alley, street lights appeared and the depressed hearts of several people were relieved a little.

People always yearn for light in the darkness. After leaving the dark alley, Chu Dazhuang couldn't help but walk towards the street light.

Under the street light, Chu Dazhuang took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and then handed it to Lao Cui.

Lao Cui also took a puff and then passed it to another coolie.

After taking a puff, he handed it to Chu Dazhuang.

But Chu Dazhuang didn't answer it, instead he looked into the distance, and then a complicated expression appeared on his face. (End of this chapter)
