Uncle Li, who was dark and thin, also stood up and helped the two children pack their few luggage. After that, he asked the two children to follow him and walked out of the cabin with the people who were about to disembark.
But when he got outside, Uncle Li looked at the pier and was secretly surprised.
There are many Japanese soldiers and plainclothes agents on the pier! The way they check passengers is very strange! If they are guests with children, they will be gathered in the open space next to them, and some Japanese soldiers will be around them. If they are not bringing children,
Then take a look at your ID card and ferry ticket and tell them to leave!
Uncle Li could tell at a glance that the Japanese were here for the two children behind him!
He turned back and glared at Anjiang and said, "Why did you forget your bag? There are gifts for aunt there! Go back and find them!"
An Jiang looked at him cautiously, then turned around and walked back.
Uncle Li held An Xiang's hand and walked back while complaining: "Your brother is really confused. He has forgotten such a big bag! Let's go back and look for it! Otherwise, we will ask someone to take it away!"
They finally returned to the cabin. An Jiang and An Xiang knew that something had happened, and they both looked at him uneasily.
Uncle Li whispered: "There are Japanese soldiers on the dock, and they are looking for you two! You can't get off the boat!"
Anjiang asked uneasily: "Then, what should we do?"
Uncle Li said: "You take advantage of the chaos now and try to go to the bottom of the cabin and find a place to hide! Hide well! I will get off the boat and try to lure the Japanese soldiers away to buy you some time! Remember, the boat is not moving.
,Be sure not to come out!”
They saw from the window that some Japanese soldiers had boarded the ship and were about to start searching!
Uncle Li quickly took out a cloth bag from his arms, stuffed it into An Jiang's pocket, and said hastily: "An Jiang, you must protect this thing! You must give this thing to your own people! Do you understand?"
An Jiang reluctantly nodded to him and couldn't say anything! Because he didn't understand the situation in front of him at all!
Uncle Li had no time to say anything more and said hurriedly: "I'm going to lure the Japanese soldiers away. You just go out through the small door and run to the bottom! Hide quickly!"
Uncle Li grabbed An Jiang's arm and shook it hard, then patted An Xiang on the shoulder, "You two, find a way to survive! Someone will definitely look for you! Don't tell anyone about you before our people find you.
Who is he!"
Uncle Li looked out the window again. He looked back at An Jiang and An Xiang. Although he was very worried, he turned around and went out!
Uncle Li walked out of the hatch and suddenly ran towards the stern of the ship, shouting loudly: "Run! You two, run!"
When the nearby Japanese soldiers heard the shouts, they all chased him! Soon, deafening gunshots were heard in the distance!
An Jiang hurriedly pulled his sister, got out of the small door, and ran down the stairs!
They didn't know where to run! They just ran down! When they saw the door, they went in, and when they saw the stairs, they went down! They turned through countless narrow corridors and passed through the huge cabin. They finally got into the coal bunker and hid in the dark
in the corner!
4-4
The coal bunker was dull and dark, as if there were scary ghosts hiding there.
An Jiang and An Xiang hugged each other and stared at the door with only a ray of light! If the Japanese searched this place and took a flashlight to shine, there would be nothing they could do! They could only stare at the door motionless.
!
They have no idea how much time has passed! Let alone whether the ship has left the dock! They can only wait!
Finally, An Xiang whispered: "Brother, I'm so hungry."
An Jiang realized that enough time must have passed! He took his sister's hand and quietly walked out of the coal bunker.
Under the light, when they looked at each other, they knew that they were just like the black-faced Mr. Bao, their whole bodies were completely black!
They saw a bucket of water under the wall and washed their faces in a hurry.
An Jiang said: "You hide in this corner and don't come out! I'll go find something to eat!"
In fact, he was also starving. The way he looked for food was to smell it with his nose, sniffing around like a dog! Hungry people are super sensitive to the smell of food!
He made many twists and turns and finally found the kitchen. But the kitchen door was locked, so there was nothing he could do.
At this time, he saw the swill bucket at the door. The smell in the swill bucket was disgusting! But this is food!
He opened his lapel, fished the swill from the bucket onto his lapel, and squeezed out the water.
He quickly found his sister with this little food. As soon as he unfolded his clothes, his sister rushed over, grabbed a lot of food, and started eating. The brother and sister quickly finished the food.
!
They slipped onto the deck and realized that it was already dark.
They looked at the dark sky, the dimly lit cabin, and the occasional crew members rushing past. They had no idea what to do in the future! They didn't even know where to get off the ship! They could only let the ship take them away.
!
Anjiang found a dark corner, sat down, held his sister in his arms, and stared at the dark night sky without moving!

Chongqing, in Zhao Shifu's mansion.
He took a sip of tea and looked at Du Wancai opposite with a smile, "What's the matter, do you really want to use these kids to deliver goods?"
Du Wancai smiled happily, as if this was a very proud thing, "Sir, you must not have imagined that I tried it for a day today and saved 70 to 80% of the delivery fee!"
Zhao Shifu was surprised, "Really? Can you really save so much!"
Du Wancai said: "They gave away to twenty families today, one yuan at a time! How about it!"
"Did they accept this price?"
"Of course I accepted it! They thought they had made a lot of money! In the past, we used three people to deliver goods once, and these people walked! Those children ran! Those three people could deliver to ten houses at most in one day.
, these children were sent to twenty families in one day! The cost for those three people was sixty yuan a day! These children only spent twenty yuan, and they were sent to ten more families than they were! Sir, please do the math.
! We saved 70 to 80%! I’m afraid it’s even more!”
Zhao Shifu nodded, "Good business, indeed good business. However, have you ever thought about it, if these children do something up to something, we will suffer losses!"
Du Wancai smiled and said: "Sir, there are people who do evil things every year! There is no other way! There are always people who are jealous of money! This loss is all included in our cost! I have seen every one of these children.
, and I also know that they live in the dilapidated houses on the 18th ladder! Think about it, what kind of tricks they can do! Where can they run after they do tricks! Who of the people who stole money and goods in the past can do tricks?
They ran away! I asked their little leader to sit in my warehouse! How dare they run away! Think about it, is this true?"
Zhao Shifu finally asked: "How much money can be saved by using these children?"
Du Wancai opened his hand and said, "Sir, at least five thousand yuan a month!"
Zhao Shifu couldn't help but open his mouth and laughed loudly: "Good business!"

Eighteen stairs, in a dilapidated house.
On this day, Wu Xiaoyan sat in the Fucheng Warehouse in Liangtingzi Lane, Nanjimen. The officials, Beike Yingzi and Shitou, ran around Tongyuanmen and Qiansimen for a day, earning two dollars.
Ten yuan!
All the children were like Zhao Shifu, shouting in shock: "Oh, what a good business!"
Xiaoyan put a thick booklet on the small table, "Starting from tomorrow, we will deliver goods to these addresses. I counted, there are a total of 436 cigarette shops in Chongqing! One month
Send it again, you figure out how much we can earn!"
Everyone can calculate this account! The children opened their mouths at the same time and exclaimed: "Oh, it's more than eight hundred yuan!"
She continued: "Sisters Erju and Yingzi will work hard tonight to copy down all these addresses! Tomorrow, I will return this booklet to Mr. Du." After she finished speaking, she took out two more notebooks and a book from the cloth bag.
Two pens are placed on the small table.
Beike Yingzi came over, picked up the book and pen, looked at Xiaoyan with a crooked mouth, and said fiercely: "I said to you, Sister Yan, I put ten rolls of banknotes in front of Mr. Du today, and said to you
Listen, that’s a lot of money! It’s a lot of money!”
Mazi immediately said: "Yingzi, don't think too much! Mr. Du is Zhao Shifu's chief accountant! Zhao Shifu is the head of Hongmen in Chongqing, and his men are all over Sichuan! We have no place to go if we provoke them!"
Xiaoyan said calmly: "Mazi is right! Let's make the money first! As for other things, we'll talk about it later!"
When she said this, a different fierce light flashed in her eyes, staring at Ke Keyingzi!
Mazi stared at each child and said: "Sister Yan is right! Let's make money first! As for other things, we will talk about it later! Everyone, please keep your mouths shut! If you don't say anything else, someone will rob you."
We can’t afford to pay for our goods!”
These children are not very old, but they have worked hard at the bottom of Chongqing for many years. They value their own interests more than anything else! If everyone has a life, they have a life! If they don’t have a life, everyone else will not have a life.
!
The last thing I want to say is that Mazi is indeed Mazi, he is extremely smart!
He instructed Erju and Beike Yingzi to copy the address, not from beginning to end, but according to the route! There are many cigarette shops along the way, and delivering to the nearest one is the most time-saving!
4-7
The next day, all the twenty or so children from Qian Gang were busy!
According to Xiaoyan's instructions, the business of delivering articles to newspapers was only sent to the "Xinhua Daily". Other newspapers had little business, so they were ignored! The business of sending children to school was also done, but only one child was sent!
No more business expansion!
All the children concentrated their efforts on delivering goods to the tobacco shop!
Mazi divided all the children into groups of three. When delivering goods, one person would run in front. If anything unusual was found, he would immediately turn back and report! The children behind would take another route!
Xiaoyan stared and said: "No matter what, you can't lose the goods! You can't lose the money either! That's it!"
