Chapter 14: Advanced (9)

It is very appropriate to describe the hours on the train as if the days were like years. From Jinxian to Nanchang Xiangtang Station, the train drove for an hour, at Nanchang Station, Hula down a group of people, and Hulala on a group of people, Mo Di has been staying in the last carriage also went down a few people, these people obviously did not voluntarily get off the train, but because they could not prove their identity or carry prohibited items, they had to be sent to the Nanchang Military Police Brigade to continue the investigation. As usual, when I entered the gendarmerie, most of them came out in the next life, looking at their departing backs, Mo Di could only silently give a little prayer and blessing.

The train stopped at Xiangtang Station for ten minutes, but Mo Di leaned out of the window and bought some food from the vendors, such as horse rolling and white sugar cakes. I'm not hungry now, but I can't keep myself hungry for a while and have nothing to eat. Mo Di politely asked the Japanese military police who had chatted with him for a while to taste it, and the military police shook his hand and told Mo Di that he had eaten a lot of these things in Nanchang, and it was not bad for outsiders to buy them as souvenirs, as if they were natives of Nanchang. Seeing that Mo Di and the gendarmes didn't eat it, Zhou Shiming took out a cloth bag, sorted out the snacks wrapped in oilskin paper, and put them in the bag.

The train continued to move. Maybe it was because the gendarmes in the temporary office were busy, and no one came to answer Mo Di again, Mo Di and Zhou Shiming did not go back to the third carriage before, they sat next to each other in the corner, and snuggled up to each other and slept peacefully. When I woke up, the train had already arrived at the small port, and all the gendarmes on the train got off the train in the small port, including the interpreter. The interpreter told Mo Di that the farthest sphere of influence of the Japanese army was here, and that Fengcheng to Zhangshu in the past was the so-called ceasefire zone. It takes more than an hour for the train to travel from Xiaogang to Zhangshu, and it stops at Zhangshu for half an hour, and it takes three hours to go back and forth, and the gendarmes need to settle dinner in Fengcheng and continue to check on the return train. The interpreter was very kind, and was a little worried that Lieutenant Colonel Chen Silou's passage to Hunan would not be too smooth, although the inspection along the way was not as strict as in Nanchang, but there would still be. Fortunately, after entering Hunan, it is no longer forbidden for civilians to carry guns, and it is easy for the southern 16 to pass the customs. However, the identity of the deputy chief of staff of the 11th Brigade of the Peaceful Founding Army is estimated to give Mo Enemy a lot of trouble.

Mo Di thanked the interpreter for his kindness and said that when he reached the west of the Ganjiang River, he would never dare to see the light of day. I heard that the inspection there was not strict, especially after the Shanghai concession area was occupied by the Japanese army, which caused a large number of refugees to move westward, and people without identification materials abounded, and there were not many people with their own families.

The translator wanted to say something, but when he stopped, Xiaogang arrived and got off the train.

The gendarmes got out of the car, and the carriage became empty except for a few people, including Mo Di. After driving, the police and attendants in the car came to the car, and during the gendarme's office, they did not know where to hide, and when the gendarmes left, they showed their bodies again. Looking at Mo Di and a few other people who stayed in the temporary office car, the eyes of the police and the crew were obviously unfriendly, maybe in their opinion, the person who could pass the inspection of the Japanese military police was not a good person, even if he was not a traitor, he would definitely pass through Japan. However, they also know that most of the people who can pass the inspection of the gendarmerie are not easy to mess with, and although they are not friendly, they do not take the initiative to provoke. Fortunately, it didn't take long to get from Xiaogang to Zhangshu, and soon, I heard the noisy sound of getting off the train in the carriage.

Zhou Shiming couldn't bear it anymore, as soon as the car door opened, he wanted to rush out, eager to get out of this environment that almost suffocated her a minute earlier, but he was pulled by Mo Di, only to hear Mo Di whisper: "Let all the people go, let's go." Several people in the same carriage probably understood this truth, and did not rush to get off the train, but waited for the people on the platform to slowly disperse.

"Why?" Zhou Shiming asked.

"Our identity is not good, and when we get off the bus at this time, there will definitely be activists in the crowd who will be against us, and it is better to avoid it than to be bullied or go to great lengths to explain." Mo Di said.

When the passengers were scattered, Mo Di took Zhou Shiming to get off the train, and found that most of the people who got off the train before did not leave from the exit gate, but queued up at the front of the railway to accept the ticket inspection, and it was estimated that they were preparing to continue walking along the railway in the next step. A few people who got out of the last carriage together asked Mo Di: "This gentleman, are you staying in Zhangshu or going to Qingjiang?" It is about fifty miles from here to Linjiang Town, the county seat of Qingjiang County, because the Ganjiang Railway Bridge in front was damaged by planes, and there is no train, so you can only walk. ”

Mo Di shook his head and said, "Fifty miles! It's a little far, and when I go to Linjiang, I'm afraid that it's already dark, and I have a female dependent, so I don't plan to hurry. Stay in Zhangshu tonight, and find a way to rush to Linjiang tomorrow. ”

The shallow communication is not deep, and a few people are not reluctant, so they arch their hands and go to hurry.

Zhou Shiming asked Mo Di why he didn't hurry, and Mo Di told her that these few people who passed the military police inspection were not treated by the people, and no one knew if there would be some radicals on the train, mixed with the crowd, and if they were on the way to Linjiang, it would be troublesome to beat themselves with a stick. The best way is to avoid the people in this car and walk again tomorrow and you will be able to easily diverge with them. Zhou Shiming nodded, his husband can be described as scheming, and a gentleman does not stand under the wall.

Out of the station, Mo Di smiled, the small square outside the station, the whole mess was a mess, before in the car, the interpreter told himself that the camphor tree is a three-regardless zone, indeed, echoing in the square is basically a voice: "Linjiang, Linjiang, go to Linjiang." Riding on a small fireboat is fast and comfortable. ”

"To go or not to go? Linjiang. "Eager solicitors pull people directly.

"Give me the luggage." , there are more anxious will directly grab the luggage of passengers: "The boat is not far ahead, the river fish port wharf." ”

"The fireboat went to Linjiang to change cars, and I will definitely be able to catch up with Xinyu today." There are new schemes, which are a bit appealing.

"The fire boat went to Linjiang to change cars, and I arrived in Yichun overnight today." There are more attractive flickers.

Mo Di is not interested in any of this, since he knows that there are so many ways to get to Linjiang, but he is not in a hurry, he might as well stay in Zhangshu for one night, and it is not too late to leave tomorrow. I casually grabbed an old solicitor and asked, "Where is the best hotel in Zhangshu?" ”

"I know, I'll send you." Seeing that there were not a few tourists coming out today, the old watch thought that there was no business today, but he didn't expect that there would be a time when the peaks and loops turned. Use a rickshaw to pull a guest to take a boat, the carriage and horse fee is two corners per person, and the benefit fee given by the boatman is only five cents, and the guest is sent to the Three Emperors Palace over the big pier to pass the Four Seas Hotel, it is very different, one person rides and horses to pay five corners of legal currency, and the Four Seas Hotel also gives a person a benefit fee of one dime. Two people, one trip is a piece of two, it's worth it today!

Attentively took the two of them to their rickshaws, asked them to sit down, let them take off their backpacks, hugged them tightly in front of them, and told them not to let the people on the side of the road snatch their luggage.

Zhangshu town is not small, rickshaw three turns and two turns on the road along the Ganjiang River, the wide Ganjiang River is on the right side of the road, the river surface is wide, it is much larger than the Changjiang Xinjiang River that passed before, the ships are up and down, and the shipping is developed. This is the golden waterway of Jiangxi, which leads to Ganzhou, Ji'an, and Jiujiang in Nanchang, and Jiangxi's abbreviation of Ganzhou is named after water. The road is a very smooth ash road, and on both sides, tall camphor trees are planted, and the name of this place should be derived from the trees. The rickshaw ran along the Ganjiang River for a while, and then arrived at the intersection of the road and the railway, the railway came from the left, and not far from the right, which was the Zhangshu Railway Iron Bridge that was blown up. From a distance, I saw that the iron bridge was blown out of several large holes, and the rails were hanging on the bridge, which was very dangerous, no wonder this road was impassable. If you look closely, you can see that although the iron frame of the iron bridge has been blown up, there is no problem for pedestrians to pass through. Mo Di looked at the direction from the railway station on the left side of the railway, and he didn't see the rolling flow of people, and it was estimated that the people who got off the train hadn't arrived here yet. Walking on the railroad tracks is a terrible thing to do, because the distance between the rail sleepers is not very suitable for walking, the big stride is too big, the small step is too small, the step is the same distance, and the walking machine is generally very tiring, so the walking speed is not too fast. The guests on the car say that the camphor tree is sinister here, and the forced buying and selling are all evil, and they have taken the railway in order to spread the rumors, and they have taken the railway, in fact, it is much more labor-saving to play a rickshaw out of the station than to take the railway, and it is much faster.

The rickshaw was running fast, and the driver was sweating profusely, and after getting on the railway, he stopped for a short rest. Mo Di asked the coachman what is the fastest way to get to Linjiang Town by crossing the iron bridge from here. The coachman said that when he walked across the iron bridge, there was a hand-rolled car on the railway that started at both ends waiting for passengers. The number of hand-rolled cars is not much, first come, first served, you can charter a car, or you can put it together, and calculate the money according to the head. From Qiaotou to Linjiang, forty miles, walk fast, you can reach it in an hour. Linjiang is the county seat of Qingjiang County, which is much more prosperous than camphor trees, and it is convenient to eat and drink, and there is a night market for leisure. The most important thing is that there are national troops stationed there, and the security is far better than the camphor trees on this side of the Ganjiang River.

Mo Di didn't say a word, handed the five military coins to the coachman, and asked to get off here. The coachman looked at the money in his hand and happily agreed, the three palaces leading to the Four Seas Hotel before, the distance was only two-thirds, and the money given was not a lot, and the coachman was very satisfied. In Zhangshu, it is difficult to exchange a piece of fiat currency or a medium storage coin for five military coins, and this guest gave five military coins, which is worth it!

Mo Enemy was very fast, obviously a little anxious. Zhou Shiming trotted all the way to follow, she knew that Mo Di wanted to avoid the people in the same car who came from the railway, if she guessed well, after Mo Di arrived on the other side, she would definitely charter a car to go first, and the farther away from the same car, the better. Mo Di didn't want to stay in Zhangshu, after all, it was still a flower area for the national army and the Japanese army, and it was notorious and famous far and wide. Although nominally it has not been officially taken by the Japanese army, various armed forces have already penetrated the ground and the ground. Linjiang Town, the county seat of Qingjiang on the opposite side of the Ganjiang River, is different, because of the barrier of the Ganjiang River, Linjiang has never seen the figure of the Japanese army, and it completely belongs to the Ninth War Zone. As for which unit it is in the Ninth War Zone, Mo Di does not know, Mo Di only knows that once he enters the Ninth War Zone, he will return to the sea and the tiger will return to the mountains.

Crossing to the west end of the bridge, sure enough, there was a stop to the rickshaw rail car. Mo Di is very familiar with this kind of car, and he thinks that when he was in the southern section of Jinpu Road, the role of this car was played to the fullest. Walked to the front of the car, put the luggage up, and Mo Di said very unclely: "Charter a car." ”

The owner of the car was very happy, a rickshaw rail car, crowded and sitting, up to ten people. If you only sit for two people, the speed is fast and labor-saving, and the price is the same as sitting for ten people, so why not. Asked, "What money to give?" ”

"What's the price?" Mo Di asked.

"What money, what price." The owner of the car said. The owner of the car is an old man and a young man, estimated to be a father and son, who look like a portrait, because he has been looking for food on the railway for a long time, his face is tanned and red, and his arms are powerful.

Seeing that Mo Di didn't speak, the owner of the car quoted the price: "One piece of Guangyang, the same as the Chinese reserve currency and the legal currency, three pieces, and fifteen Japanese military dollars." ”

"Collect military coins?" Mo Di asked.

"Receive."

Mo Di took out a 20 yuan military coin and said, "When you arrive in Qingjiang County, take me to find the best hotel, and the 20 yuan will be given to you." One word: fast. I don't want the guy in the back to come up and fight for a bed with me. ”

"Okay, don't worry, it's going to be fast." The owner of the car is full of confidence, and there are only two guests in the car, so he can't think about it quickly.

The wind blew his hair, cool and refreshing, sitting at the front of the rail car, Zhou Shiming felt an unprecedented speed, and the tension and depression of the day were all exuded at this moment. At this time, Mo Di took out the pastries he bought in Nanchang, and Zhou Shiming suddenly felt that he was already very hungry!
