Start with Four Lines Warehouse

Chapter 52
Under the bright sunshine, an awning boat rowed upstream non-stop along the densely covered river in Shanghai.

"Squeak, creak~" The wooden oars groaned in a regular swing.

"Knife, how long will it take for us to arrive!" Ma Chao in a long gown was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses without lenses.But coupled with the traitor head with the atmosphere of the times, and the deliberately squinted eyes, heh, what a dog leg of China-Japan friendship!
"I said, young master, can't you dress up a little more normally? Do you know that the first time I saw you just now, I wanted to hit your heart!" Knife glanced at it and said painfully.

"Haha, just bear with it. At least, I like this, you don't have to worry about it! Hahahaha." Ma Chao said happily.

After Du Yuesheng told Ma Chao to be careful, the two didn't say a word.The two walked quietly around the garden of Du Mansion, enjoying the rare autumn sunshine.

After walking around the garden with Du Yuesheng, Ma Chao asked Du Yuesheng to leave.Du Yuesheng was not surprised, but told Ma Chao very plainly that now Xie Jinyuan's troops have joined the 88nd Brigade of the [-]th Division and are now repairing outside Qingpu, and the specific location has been told to Daozi.Knife would get him there safely.

At the same time, Du Yuesheng also told Ma Chao that from now on, the knife will belong to him completely, and let him treat the knife well.After Ma Chao expressed his thanks, he asked Ma Chao to go down with Wan Molin. After changing his clothes, he went to find the knife that was already waiting by the river.

After looking at Ma Chao who followed Wan Molin, Knife looked at the strange man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a long gown very warily.

"Sure enough, the big make-up technique, which is known as one of the four major magic arts in Asia, is not in vain!" Seeing the knife with a wary expression, Ma Chao didn't want to explain himself, but nodded slightly towards the knife, and said stepped into the boat.

After Wan Molin saw Ma Chao boarding the boat, he turned around and went back to the Du Mansion.

"·····················································································································································​​

"Didn't you tell me to escort Mr. Ma to Qingpu to find Xie Jinyuan and the others? Why did you send such a thing?" In desperation, the knife was worth returning to the boat, and asked the stranger:
"Sir, where are we going?"

"Where do you think we're going?" Ma Chao deliberately lowered his voice and said playfully to the knife.

"····························································································································································
"Sir, don't you tell me how do I know where you are going? Or are you planning to come here to drive around!" Knife narrowed his eyes, and slowly touched the dagger in his waist with his right hand.

"Why, you've only been separated for one night, and you're ready to confront me?" Ma Chao looked at the appearance of Daozi, and stopped teasing him intentionally, and said in his original voice.

Hearing the familiar voice, Knife's eyes widened instantly, staring at Ma Chao's face in disbelief.

After a long while, he finally relaxed after confirming that the person in front of him was Ma Chao.Said very embarrassingly:

"Who asked you to dress up like this, so I can't recognize it at all!" Knife was so embarrassed that he jumped into the river at the moment, hiding under the water and never coming out again.

After all, last night, the knife really belonged to Ma Chao.And when Du Yuesheng told him this morning to treat knives well in the future, Ma Chao understood.

At that time, Ma Chao also slandered: "It's really one by one. It's a monkey with hair on it. It's so cool!"

"Why, if you are allowed to lie to me, won't I be allowed to lie to you?" Ma Chao said angrily after hearing this.

"This, this, young master, you know. I didn't think about it at the time, but I couldn't help it. Didn't I also want to obey the orders of Wan Steward." Knife replied with a face full of helplessness.

"Hmph, so far, this time is not an example!" Ma Chao also understood in his heart, so he could only let it go. "Let's go, let's go to Captain Xie, I guess he should be worried about us at this time."

"Okay, young master, do your best, let's set off now." After hearing Ma Chao's words, Knife realized that he had escaped this time, and quickly started to paddle and set off.

As time passed, time slowly came to noon.Then came the scene at the beginning of this chapter.

"Okay, you are the young master, you have the final say. We will probably arrive in about half an hour."

"Okay, let's do it as soon as possible." Ma Chao felt uneasy.

Today's Shanghai is very quiet. From time to time, there are wild ducks, wild geese and other migratory birds frightened by this small black-covered boat in the reeds along both sides of the river.

It is autumn at this time, and the yellow-green reeds around are a beautiful landscape.However, corpses appearing on the water from time to time make this landscape greatly reduced.

As for the corpses, Chinese soldiers and Japanese soldiers were mixed with each other and soaked in the still green river water together.This is, looking at the degree of foaming of the corpses, they should have been dead for a long time.

This proves from another aspect that if the position of the battlefield has not changed much, there should be no major firefights in the last day.

"I really want to have a single-soldier communication system, but...hey!" Looking at the words "upgrading" displayed on the plug-in, Ma Chao felt a headache .

He discovered this situation when the arsenal was blown up last night, but he was busy evacuating at that time, so he didn't pay much attention to it.And after entering the Du mansion, he was busy dealing with Du Yuesheng, so he didn't have time.

"I hope you can finish the update as soon as possible. Right now, I really need you." Helplessly, Ma Chao could only pray silently.

As the awning boat got closer and closer to the city, the atmosphere of war on both sides of the strait became more and more intense. From time to time, potholes blown out by shells and large open spaces burned by flames could be seen.Occasionally, groups of black corpses would appear in the open space.

Coupled with the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air and the rotten smell of corpses, and the crows that are not flying up and down, this picture...
