Smuggling Daming

Among the disorganized buildings at Sanchakou, there are countless winding and complicated paths. With the relocation here and the Chinese New Year, most people have gone back, making the streets of Sanchakou extremely deserted, and occasionally there are some wild cats. The dog flashed by on the street, but it made Nangsanchakou even more deserted.

Qi Yanming, who was dressed in rags, staggered on the road, feeling the fire in his stomach. The familiar hunger scorched his nerves like a raging fire, torturing him all the time. This feeling was like death. It was even more uncomfortable, and sometimes Qi Yanming regretted why he didn't die early on the battlefield in Bazhou, or under the city of Jinan, so that he wouldn't have to suffer like this again.

Speaking of which, Qi Yanming was really fateful. After he failed in the choice of Bazhou, he chose together with Yang Hu in Shandong. As a result, he was defeated in Jinan and everyone was scattered. He left the army and fled by himself, and in order to prevent the officers and soldiers from chasing him, he fled all the way east to Weihaiwei, and planned to escape overseas by boat. After all, he knew very well that the Ming court would definitely hunt him down even harder this time. Well, if he stays in Daming territory, God knows one day he will be recognized by others, and then he will die, so it is safer to go overseas.

However, when Qi Yanming fled to Weihaiwei, he found that it was not easy to go to sea, because those seagoing ships were temporarily docked in Weihai, and they would leave after they were replenished, and they did not want to let people take them.In addition, Qi Yanming didn't have any money on him, so it was even more impossible to persuade those profit-seeking maritime merchants to agree to board their ships.

It is precisely because of this.Qi Yanming wandered around Weihaiwei's port for several days, but he couldn't find a sea merchant who was willing to let him board. At this time, Weihaiwei also had a list of wanted him, although Qi Yanming shaved his beard at this time. , his appearance was also put on makeup, but he didn't know whether he would be recognized by others, so he finally made a bold decision to smuggle onto the ship.

First of all, Qi Yanming found a large boat with relatively loose defenses, and then secretly swam through the water while it was dark.Then climbed up the ship to find the position of the cargo hold and hid in it.He did so at great risk, because if the owner of the boat found him, he would probably be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

However, it can be considered that Qi Yanming was lucky. After he hid on the boat, he was not found all the time, but Qi Yanming's only miscalculation was.He never expected that the ship would sail on the sea for nearly half a month. When he boarded the ship, he prepared a lot of drinking water, but he didn't bring much dry food, and there was no food in the cargo pulled by the ship, so he didn't dare to take risks. To steal the food on the ship, so Qi Yanming had to save again and again.He even gritted his teeth and endured hunger until the day of New Year's Eve.It was not easy to reach Shuangyu Port.

Fortunately, it was only on New Year's Eve that we arrived at Shuangyu Port. As soon as the ship docked, the owner immediately took his crew to have a New Year's Eve dinner, and there was no time to unload the ship. Qi Yanming, otherwise Qi Yanming might have nowhere to hide when the cargo is unloaded.In the end, if he was caught by the owner of the goods, even if he didn't kill him, he would probably be beaten severely.

Qi Yanming heard that most of the people on board had disembarked.After the outside sky also darkened, he sneaked off the boat, but at this time he was hungry on the boat for so many days, his body was seriously overdrawn, and he felt hungry and thirsty all over, but there was nothing on him. Half a penny, and even if he had money, no one would sell him food on the night of New Year's Eve.

It was precisely because of this that Qi Yanming found himself hungry and thirsty after getting off the boat, and was likely to die during this Spring Festival.But as the saying goes, there is no end to the road. When a well-meaning person who went out saw the yellow and hungry Qi Yanming on the port, he came forward to ask about it. As a result, Qi Yanming made up that he had fled from Shandong. Looking for a job to make a living, but I am not familiar with the place here, and now I haven't eaten for a few days.

Qi Yanming's hometown Bazhou is not far from Shandong, and he has stayed in Shandong for such a long time, so the Shandong dialect he speaks is also very standard. Jiu, these Shandong coolies huddled together, immediately pointed Qi Yanming to Sanchakou, and told him where Zhu Jiu and the others lived. As long as they could find him, for the sake of fellow villagers, they would give him food no matter what.

Qi Yanming didn't expect that there were so many Shandong people in a place like Shuangyu Port. After thanking the other party, he immediately found Sanchakou according to the other party's instructions, but his physical strength was already seriously exhausted, and now he left again It was such a long journey, so when Qi Yanming entered the Sanchakou, he already felt dizzy and wanted to lie down and take a rest immediately.

Qi Yanming had also suffered from hunger before, and he knew that at such a time, he would be unable to lie down, otherwise he might not be able to get up again, so after entering the Sanchakou, he kept clenching his teeth and standing up. Then, they even moved step by step to the outside of the courtyard where Zhu Jiu and the others lived.

When Qi Yanming leaned his body against the cold door, he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, then he gritted his teeth and raised his arms, grabbed the door knocker and knocked with his greatest strength.

"咚咚咚~" The empty knock on the door was heard in the hall. Although the hall was very noisy, Zhu Jiu and the others still heard the knock on the door outside, which made them all startled, and then Zhu Jiu stood up himself and told everyone to continue drinking. He took a few people outside to see who was knocking on the door?

When Qi Yanming, who was leaning on the door outside, heard the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer inside, a smile finally appeared on his thin face. When the door was opened, he tried his last strength to speak out in standard Shandong dialect. Two words "help", and then fell to the ground like a piece of wood.

Zhu Jiu was taken aback when he saw the man lying in front of the door, but the standard Shandong dialect he heard just now woke him up, and he hurriedly ordered: "It's our fellow, quickly carry him in and see what's wrong with him !"

The few people who came out with Zhu Jiu also came to their senses, and immediately carried Qi Yanming into the room in a hurry. At this time, Zhu Jiu shouted at a thin young man in the room: "Lu Xiucai, Come and see what happened to this fellow, as soon as we opened the door, he fell down after saying help."

The young man called "Lu Xiucai" is not really a scholar. In fact, he is a coolie who fled from Shandong. Because he worked as a clerk in a drugstore for a while, he not only understands some medical principles, but also knows a few words. Among the ordinary poor people, he is already very remarkable, so he is called Lu Xiucai by Zhu Jiu and others.

"Give way, don't surround yourself!" Lu Xiucai lined up the crowd, looked at Qi Yanming who was on the chair, and saw that he stretched out his hand and pressed the other party's neck, and found that the other party was not dead, and he was not breathing. It was very stable, and seeing the yellow and thin face of the other party, he immediately understood what was going on, and immediately turned around and shouted, "Bring the sweet soup on the table, he is fainted from hunger, and he can't die!"

Hearing that this person just fainted from hunger, Zhu Jiu and the others were relieved, and soon someone brought over the sweet soup prepared on the table, and Lu Xiucai personally fed Qi Yanming a few mouthfuls, and the spoonfuls turned out to be hot and sweet After drinking the sweet soup, Qi Yanming immediately woke up from the coma. He grabbed the sweet soup, raised his head and drank it in big gulps.

In a short while, Qi Yanming drank up a big bowl of sweet soup, but he was really hungry. When he saw the big pieces of meat on the table and the big bowl of wine, his eyes burst into a kind of With a look of longing, he propped himself up from the chair and wanted to throw himself on the table to eat a big meal.

Seeing Qi Yanming's reaction, Lu Xiucai was startled, and hurriedly hugged Qi Yanming, pushed him back on the chair and said, "Brother, you probably have been hungry for a long time, and your stomach is already weak. Extreme, so those big fish and big meat must not be eaten, if you are still hungry, I will ask the brothers to make you some noodle soup."

"Brother, what Lu Xiucai said is right. At the beginning we had a brother who fled from his hometown, but he died of starvation on the way, but he ate too much and died after meeting us!" At this time, Zhu Jiu also stepped forward. opened the mouth.

Hearing what Zhu Jiu and the others said, Qi Yanming regained some sense of reason, and at the same time looked at the people around him, and then said gratefully: "Thank you brothers for your kindness. report!"

After Qi Yanming was wanted, he didn't dare to use his real name at all. He even changed his surname to Wen Wu. Wen took the upper part of Qi, and Wu was Liu Wu's five. Liu Wu is the best friend. When he was arrested, it was Liu Wuyi who insisted on robbing the prison, so he was rescued.

"Haha~, so it's Brother Wenwu. We are all from Shandong, so we naturally have to take care of each other when we are out, so don't say anything about repaying or not repaying!" Zhu Jiu said happily at this time.Qi Yanming speaks with a standard Shandong accent, and although he is thin, he is very tall. At first glance, he looks like a standard Shandong man.

After Zhu Jiu finished speaking, he introduced Qi Yanming to everyone in the hall. After everyone had seen him, Zhu Jiu arranged Qi Yanming to a separate room to recuperate.Qi Yanming also inquired a lot about Shuangyu Port through Zhu Jiu and others. When he learned that this place was not under the jurisdiction of Daming, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. There is no Ming government in Shuangyu Port. Don't worry about being hunted down.

However, Qi Yanming was not happy for a long time, because he soon heard about Zhou Zhong and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, which made his heart sink. He never thought that the small Shuangyu Port would have a world-wide Admiral, and there are Jinyiwei at the port, this is definitely not good news for him. (To be continued.
