Lost and Spy

Chapter 451 Noodle Ocean
The weather is a bit annoying, the sun came out yesterday, and it rained again early this morning.

It's been a few days since I went to Lao Fu Kee to eat noodles, let alone, I really miss it.

As soon as he went out, he hailed a rickshaw: "Lao Fu Ji."

"Okay, boss, please sit down."

The rickshaw driver excitedly pulled the rickshaw and ran away.

The drizzle kept hitting the rickshaw driver, but it couldn't stop him in the slightest.

"You still come out to run business on a rainy day?"

Meng Shaoyuan sat in the car and asked.

"Oh, boss, you really know how to joke." The rickshaw driver said while pulling the car: "We are born to be hard-working, pulling the car for a day, paying the driver's license fee, fines for violations, and the rest is just enough for the whole family. There is not even a penny left for food. If you don’t run for a day, you will be hungry for a day. I can afford it, but my wife and children can’t afford it.”

Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious: "How much do you have to pay this month?"

"For someone with a license like me, I have to pay 25 silver dollars a month, plus the license fee and fines for violations. If it takes a month, I only get seven or eight silver dollars."

"That's just barely enough to eat." Meng Shaoyuan was very sympathetic.

"Originally, it was tough, but now it's difficult to do business. There are more than 5 rickshaws in Shanghai, and there are more cars and fewer people. Later, with cars and trams, business is even more difficult. .Also, the largest car dealership in Shanghai, Xiangsheng Car Dealer, has done even better. It has opened a car calling phone number, 40000, which means "forty million compatriots, please dial the number [-] if you want a car." Well, when a rich family makes a phone call, the rickshaw is waiting directly at the door of the family, and those of us who do business on the road, how can we compete with others?"

This Xiangsheng company has brains, and its ideas are ahead of this era!

In Meng Shaoyuan's era, wouldn't a taxi pick you up directly at your door with a phone call?
Think about my own era, calling a car by phone, or hailing a car by software, are all leftovers from people playing in this era.

Listen to this ad again:
"Forty million compatriots, please dial the number [-] if you want a car!"

Absolutely!

People will remember it as soon as they hear it, it's much better than "give XXX if you don't give a gift this Chinese New Year"!
There are also taxis, but they are too expensive.

A taxi costs four to five yuan per hour, which ordinary people can't afford. However, a rickshaw costs only four cents an hour, so the price is still relatively cheap.

Furthermore, although there are taxi companies in Shanghai, there are too few vehicles.

A brand new Ford car costs 1 yuan in Shanghai, while the monthly salary of the mayor of SH is less than 200 yuan.

It's a pity that although rickshaws are still competitive, pulling carts can only make a living.

The vehicle owner and license fee were accepted, but the fine from the patrol was too much to bear.

To be precise, it is not called a fine, but an excuse to extort your money.

do not give?The car is confiscated, let the owner of the car dealer take the money to the police station to get it.

Could it be the rickshaw driver who was unlucky in the end?
"Hey, hey, stop."

While chatting there, two patrolmen rushed out from the nearby teahouse and stopped the rickshaw regardless of the rain.

"Boss, what's the matter?" the rickshaw driver asked respectfully.

"Fine!" The leader of the patrol was expressionless.

"Why?" The rickshaw driver looked aggrieved.

"Why? What day is it?"

"It's raining."

"Putting customers on a rainy day is extremely dangerous, and you will be punished for the crime of dangerous towing!"

Meng Shaoyuan almost spit out when he heard this.

Dangerous cart crime?
Have you heard of this crime since ancient times?

"Boss, no, lord, you are my own lord." The rickshaw driver begged again and again: "This is the first business I have done today, and I don't have a dime in my pocket. I lied to you that I am a grandson."

It's so early, and it's raining again, it's unbelievable for the police.

For those who have no money in their pockets like this, there is a way to go to police.

A policeman walked around behind the car and took off the license plate of the rickshaw: "Dangerous driving, a fine of three yuan, if you have money, come here to get it, my brother and I have been here all morning. It's late, but we have to go to the police room to get it." .”

The rickshaw driver wanted to die.

Three dollars, how many guests are there?Not only was it a waste of time today, it's hard to figure out whether the driver can make up the money in this rainy day.

But the guests are still in the car.

The rickshaw driver sighed, pulled himself together and pulled the guests to their destination.

Meng Shaoyuan got out of the car, took out a piece of ocean and put it in the hand of the rickshaw driver.

"Boss, I can't find it."

"keep the change."

"what?"

A piece of the ocean, the rickshaw driver wondered if he was dazzled.

"Take it back and give it to your wife and children." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "By the way, at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, meet me at No. 892 Albert Road, and I will use your car."

"Hey, hey, okay, boss, thank you Lennon, I'll be there on time tomorrow."

The rickshaw driver was about to cry, and thankfully pulled the rickshaw away.

Meng Shaoyuan immediately saw the old beggar sitting at the entrance of Lao Fu Ji Noodle Shop, where the eaves could barely shelter from the rain.

pitiful.

In this bad weather, I still have to come out to beg for food.

Meng Shaoyuan sighed.

After a while, let the guy give him a bowl of noodles.

Just as he was about to go in, the old beggar suddenly said, "Boss, please give me something to eat."

Ok?
In Meng Shaoyuan's impression, the old beggar never asked anyone to ask for food, did he?

He was taken aback, and stopped in his tracks.

The old beggar said suddenly: "Go quickly, someone inside is going to kill you!"

what?
Meng Shaoyuan didn't have time to think, and was about to leave immediately, when suddenly, there were two "bang bang".

It was probably a rainy day, which affected the killer's sight, and both shots were missed.

Meng Shaoyuan pounced to the side and took out his gun.

However, the killer on the other side of the street was already prepared, and the bullets kept coming towards him.

In the noodle shop, the four killers kicked over the table and rushed out towards the door of the shop.

Meng Shaoyuan is about to die!

……

Yiji Qiancao rushed to the first place.

Killing Meng Shaoyuan was the first achievement of the imperial Shanghai agents!
As soon as he stepped out of the store door with one foot, he saw a figure rushing towards him suddenly.

Yici Qiancao's heart ached.

A sharp knife pierced his heart.

old beggar!
"Run!"

The old beggar roared wildly.

Taking advantage of the killer's stunned moment, Meng Shaoyuan rolled a few times, turned over to a corner, covered in muddy water, and was in a mess, but he couldn't care less, shot a shot with his backhand aimlessly, rolling and crawling, stumbling!
……

"Bang bang"!
The bullet hit the old beggar, and the old beggar fell to the ground.

The killer didn't care about Yici Qiancao and the old beggar, and frantically chased towards the place where Meng Shaoyuan fled.

The old beggar was punched with two blood holes.

His eyes were wide open, and he murmured:
"I'm not a dog, not a dog!"

……

Meng Shaoyuan ran forward frantically.

Several killers frantically chased after him.

Bullets kept flying by.

Meng Shaoyuan wanted to run for his life while guarding against bullets, so his speed was greatly slowed down.

The killer behind him has no worries about this at all.

If this continues, Meng Shaoyuan will soon be overtaken by the opponent!

It’s over.

This time it's really over.

"Quick, sir!"

A rickshaw rushed out suddenly.

Meng Shaoyuan didn't think about the time at all, and suddenly jumped onto the rickshaw.

A few bullets hit the rickshaw.

The rickshaw driver didn't care at all, just galloping all the way while pulling the rickshaw.

According to the understanding of ordinary people, pulling a rickshaw with one person sitting in it will definitely not be able to run away from the pursuers, but the actual situation is by no means the case.

Rickshaw drivers pull carts all the year round, and they have a nickname called "Mudfoot". Even if they pull a rickshaw with people sitting on it, ordinary people will not be able to catch up with them in a short time.

Another point is the most important, they are familiar with each other.

They are familiar with the streets and alleys of Shanghai, those horny bumps that you have never heard of at ordinary times.

I saw the rickshaw driver make a left turn, then ran for about ten meters, and then made another sharp right turn.

It's like driving and drifting.

With these two actions, the pursuers were wiped out in a short time.

The rickshaw driver didn't dare to neglect, and continued to pull the rickshaw to find the alley.

It took at least half an hour before the rickshaw driver stopped, breathless: "Boss, where are you going?"

Meng Shaoyuan was still in shock: "Albert Road, No. 892."

Finally, he saw clearly that it was the rickshaw driver who pulled him just now.

"Hey." The rickshaw driver continued to pull the car, not afraid at all: "I was going there tomorrow, but I didn't expect to take the boss there today."

Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help asking, "Why did you appear there?"

"I saw that the rain was getting heavy, and the boss gave me another big ocean. I thought, I have enough money today, hide from the rain, and wait for the rain to lighten before soliciting customers, but I heard gunshots. I was afraid , I wanted to run away, but when I saw that it was you, the boss, who was being hunted down, I thought, boss, you are a good person, I have to save you."

You are a good man, I have to save you.

It's that simple reason.

Meng Shaoyuan asked again: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? Don't be afraid!" The rickshaw driver didn't care at all: "Back then, the Ax Gang hacked people in Shanghai. There were hundreds of people, bloody and bloody. I went to the doctor’s place, I’ve seen this scene a lot.”

into, into.

It never occurred to him that it was such two little people who saved him today.

"Boss, here we are."

The rickshaw stopped at 892 Albert Road.

Seeing the customer wanting to pay, the rickshaw driver hurriedly said, "No need, boss, you've already given me an ocean."

"That works." Meng Shaoyuan was not stubborn either: "Remember to come to me tomorrow."

……

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Meng Shaoyuan like this, Wu Jingyi was taken aback.

"Being hunted down."

"What? Are you okay?"

"I was dead, but I was saved by a bowl of noodles and a ocean."

Wu Jingyi was confused.

A bowl of noodles and an ocean?
what does it mean?

Meng Shaoyuan didn't explain too much: "You immediately send someone to Lao Fu Kee Noodle Shop to see if there is an old beggar there. If he is still alive, remember to save him at all costs!"
