Chapter 45

The second fool admired Tang Ning so much that he didn't argue with them, he just sent her out for a while and then returned the same way.

Du Chunyue looked calm on the surface, but in fact she was terrified to death. The two were riding in a mule cart in the county town. The old man who happened to be driving the cart had no customers. Du Chunyue immediately took out the thirty Wen money for the chartered car, and pitifully said to the old man: "Mr. , I came from Suzhou and planned to go to the south of the Yangtze River to join relatives. This is a girl I picked up on the road. She has some problems here. It seems that she can't hear her very well. She keeps talking about going to Fucheng to find her parents.

I was soft-hearted and took her with me, but she didn't have anything on her. It will be troublesome to go to the city in a while. Could you please do me a favor and say this is your granddaughter?I can give you a few more pennies. "

Speaking of which, Du Chunyue quickly took out another five cents, and took out her own guide by the way, trying to prove that what she said was true.

The old man is illiterate, but seeing that Du Chunyue even took out the guide, he believed it a lot. With Tangning as a girl, it doesn't matter if he gets into the city, and he can earn an extra five cents, so he is happy The ground should.

At this time, the sun was almost westward, and the group rushed to Fucheng and it was probably dark. Du Chunyue asked the old man curiously: "Master, can you come back to Fucheng now?"

The uncle driving the car turned his back to them and chuckled, "My uncle's house is in Fucheng, and he solicits customers at these two ends on weekdays. He pulls a wave here in the morning, and pulls a wave back in the afternoon. You are also lucky. You can't catch up with us today." What kind of business, I just dawdled for a while, otherwise I would have gone back at this point."

Du Chunyue and Tang Ning exchanged glances, feeling a little relieved, the local officers and soldiers in Fucheng should not be very good at stopping them.

The uncle said again: "I will say that this little girl is a distant relative of my family when I enter the city. Today I just waited for a while, and only got one guest. You two can just pretend that you don't know each other."

Upon hearing this, Tangning looked at the old man in surprise, "Don't you doubt our identities and the purpose of entering the city?"

The old man laughed louder, "You two little girls, you seem to have been doing farm work all year round, so what's there to doubt? Besides, the city is now under martial law, not to mention you two little girls, even a group of big guys don't care. Want to make some waves in the city.

It's also because you are all girls' families. If it was a man, I would not dare to accept this business. The officers and soldiers search here and there every day. If you see a suspicious person, you have to ask the eighteenth generation of the family's ancestors before letting him go.

But these are all aimed at men, girls don't care, officers and soldiers won't take a second look. "

While talking, the mule cart gradually approached the Fucheng, and the three of them saw the majestic city tower from a distance. It was much more magnificent than the small gatehouse in the county town, and there were many more guards. Bo Pancha's soldiers stopped him.

The old man was from Fucheng, and he was familiar with the face. The soldiers did not make things difficult for him, but stared at the two girls in the car with sharp eyes.

Du Chunyue was so frightened that she didn't know how to speak for a while, but the old man thought it was very good, so she bowed down and flattered her: "Master, this lying girl is a relative from my hometown, and she has some problems with her mind. In, not far away, it is called Yueshagou.

It's not because all the male members of the family have left for military service, and the only one left is still sick, it's so pitiful, I'll come back tonight to pick her up and go to the city for medical treatment, and I'll send her back to the countryside early in the morning, you can send someone there Check, as for this girl is a guest I pulled on the road, she said she went to the south to join relatives. "

The officers and soldiers frowned. Hearing that Du Chunyue was going to the south to join relatives, he immediately looked at her, "Lu Yin, household registration."

Du Chunyue hurriedly opened her bag, and there were only two changes of clothes and a broken purse inside, and the rest was household registration and road guides, and there was nothing to dig through.

The officers and soldiers took the household registration and road guides to look carefully, looked at Du Chunyue from time to time, and waved their hands impatiently after a long time, "Pass over!"

Du Chunyue took the lead back with both hands, and was dragged away by the old man gratefully.

After entering the city, there were no officers and soldiers around, so Du Chunyue asked in a low voice with fear: "Master, if they really go to investigate, they will reveal their secrets!"

The uncle is not worried at all, "Girl, you are still young, you don't understand! Now the government is short of manpower, and they can't keep an eye on the man every day. This kind of situation is not uncommon. If everyone goes to check, they will find out when!
Besides, the road in Yueshagou is difficult to walk. It is a notoriously poor and remote place here. If you go there, you may not be able to run back and forth in a day. This group of people will go there to seek evidence unless they are full and have nothing to do. "

Speaking of which, the uncle really dragged the two of them to the medical clinic, went in and chatted a few words, and then dragged the two of them to the door of the house.

At this time, the neighborhood of the old man's house was really dark, and he was not afraid of being seen.

Tangning quickly jumped down from the mule cart, picked up the basket, and said in a low voice, "Master, thank you for today. Here are forty pennies. You can take them and play a full set. I will go out of town in your mule cart tomorrow morning."

Don't think that the ancients were all fools. In this place where transportation and communication are underdeveloped, there are many people who pay attention everywhere. Who knows if someone will ask the old man about her situation tomorrow, so I can't ask someone for help to cause trouble for others. .

Hearing this, the old man felt relieved, and immediately smiled boldly, "Success! Then I won't charge you for the car when I take you out tomorrow."

"That can't be done!" Tangning refused without even thinking about it.

The old man also became stubborn, "Okay, don't make money with me. My car can pull ten people at a time and earn Wen. You gave me an extra Wen today. Although I love money, I won't keep taking two." It’s cheap for a little girl, by the way, where do you stay at night?”

"We're still busy, can you give me directions to the pier?"

The old man immediately explained to the two of them carefully. Although the two of them didn't understand very well, they knew the general direction. In this way, the two of them fumbled and arrived at the pier.

The passage to the pier has been closed, and there are densely packed boats parked on the river, but there is no sign of the sheepskin raft, and some boats are still living on them.

Du Chunyue on the side didn't have the ability of night vision, so she tiptoed anxiously and muttered: "What should I do? I can't get through!"

Tangning pointed to the nearby houses and said in a low voice, "There are only boats parked on the river. There are no sheepskin rafts. I guess the sheepskin rafts can be moved. They are not as heavy as boats, but no matter what, they are big. It is unrealistic to move a long-distance thing, so I guess those trackers should all live near here, we will wait patiently and wait for the sheepskin raft to appear before catching up."

Du Chunyue nodded again and again. Now it's Tangning who tells her what to do, and hits wherever she points, without any hesitation.

The night is long, and the two of them can't stay by the river all the time. The wind blows by the river, so it's no wonder they don't get sick all night.
