Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

"Brother Zhang, can't we discuss this further? Or I can give you the money later." Long Yi tried to fight for it again.

"Oh! Brother Long, if this business belongs to me, I can give it to you even if I don't want any money. But this business is not just mine. Many brothers make a living from this line. I can't break the rules for you.

Otherwise, who will come from me in the future?" Zhang Dahai said firmly.

Long Yi pretended to be in deep thought, wanting to speak but not saying anything. He looked very awkward. Finally, he took out 3900 yuan from his pocket.

After seeing this, Zhang Dahai retreated immediately.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, the key is that your money is not enough. Why don't you go back to Sijiu City and ask for another way? There's no need for you to stick to me."

Hearing what Zhang Dahai said, Long Yi gritted his teeth, reached into his arms, counted out another 1,300 yuan and handed it to Zhang Dahai.

"Brother Zhang, since I've contacted you, I'll trust you. Don't employ a person you doubt, and don't doubt a person you employ. What time is our ship?"

When Zhang Dahai saw that Long Yi was talking about serious matters, he stopped smiling.

"This is the ship that will go to the south to pick up cargo from 2:30 to 3:00 this evening. We will take a small boat from here to the route, and then wait on the agreed sea surface. A rope will be dropped when the time comes.

Let's get on the boat directly. I will follow you all the way until I send you out of Shanghai and then come back.

Since you have already had dinner, you should have a good sleep while there are still ten minutes left. You will not be able to sleep well when you get on the boat. I will call you when the boat arrives in the evening."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhang. We live in the abandoned bungalow at the east end of the village."

Afterwards, Long Yi took Long San away from Zhang Dahai's house and returned to the bungalow where Long Si and the others were staying.

As soon as he returned to the house, Long Yi informed everyone of the arrival time of the ship, and then said: "Just in case, everyone should take a rest and get enough rest."

Then he grabbed a backpack and took out sixteen pistols and a pile of magazines. Each magazine was filled with bullets and emitted a cold metallic light.

Long Yi distributed the guns and magazines to everyone in an orderly manner. He, Long San and Long Si each got two, and the rest got one each, and each gun was equipped with two magazines.

Those ten people had all been trained and were familiar with the use of common firearms, including the four girls.

After Long distributed guns and magazines to everyone, everyone started to check their guns at the same time.

Their expressions were serious and focused, as if the guns in their hands were their important support in the upcoming unknown journey.

Long San pulled the bolt skillfully, feeling the mechanical operation of the gun, and checked every component with sharp eyes to ensure that the gun would not fail at the critical moment.

Long Si gently stroked the gun body, his eyes revealing a hint of calmness and determination. He carefully checked whether the magazine was installed firmly and whether the bullet entered the gun chamber smoothly.

The ten people also took action. Although they were not as experienced as Long Yi and his team, they had their own set of inspection methods after training.

The boys moved quickly and efficiently, carefully checking the performance of the guns, not missing any possible problems.

The four girls were no less impressive, with determination flashing in their eyes as they carefully fiddled with the guns in their hands to ensure they were in best condition.

The small fishing village is not as noisy as the big city, but has only the boundless sea and the sound of waves pushing ashore, which makes it particularly peaceful. The salty sea breeze blows on your face, which makes your thoughts calm down.

After nightfall, Long Yi did not sleep. He sat alone at the door of the house, quietly waiting for news from Zhang Dahai.

Time passed minute by minute, and at 12: in the middle of the night, Zhang Dahai finally came back.

His clothes were soaked and his shoes were covered in mud. It was obvious that he had rushed here from the beach.

He hurried towards Long Yi, and Long Yi also hurriedly stood up to greet him.

The two did not speak, but just nodded to each other. Long Yi knew that the ship was coming soon.

He immediately turned around, hurried back into the room, and shouted loudly to wake up Long San and the others.

Everyone woke up from their sleep, but without any delay, they quickly got themselves in order.

After a while, a group of thirteen people followed Zhang Dahai with their luggage.

In order to facilitate movement, each of Long Yi and his companions carried a backpack containing necessary items such as spare clothes.

They walked in the night, the sea breeze gently blowing on their faces, bringing with it a hint of salty taste.

When Long Yi and his friends arrived at the beach, they saw two small fishing boats quietly moored on the beach.

The two boats are not big, and it is estimated that each boat can seat up to ten people. At first glance, they are the boats used by fishermen to fish near the coast.

Long Yi made a prompt decision and divided the team into two teams, with him and Long San each leading one team.

Everyone boarded the boat one by one and carefully placed their luggage.

Zhang Dahai and another person picked up the oars and rowed slowly.

As the oars were rowed, the small fishing boat slowly left the shore, and the group was getting farther and farther away from the shore.

The sea was pitch black, with only the sound of waves hitting the hull.

Zhang Dahai didn't stop until he was far away from the shore.

He took out a flashlight from the toolbox for repairing ships and waited quietly for the sound of the cargo ship approaching. As long as the sound of the cargo ship reached this side, Zhang Dahai would signal with the flashlight.

Everyone was silent, waiting nervously. Time seemed to have frozen, and every second seemed to be extraordinarily long.

There was total silence on the sea, save for the sound of waves gently lapping against the boat.

After a while, the whistle of a steamship was heard in the distance. The sound was particularly clear in the silent night sky, and everyone was suddenly filled with tension and anticipation.

When Zhang Dahai heard the sound, he immediately knew that the ship was coming. He quickly turned on his flashlight and shone the light directly onto the cargo ship in the direction of the sound.

The people on the cargo ship received the signal and slowly drove the cargo ship towards the small fishing boat. As the ship got closer, everyone's heart was in their throat.

When the ship arrived, a rope ladder was thrown down from the cargo ship.

Long Yi gave orders calmly, asking Long Si and the others to go up first, followed by the girls, and finally him and Long San.

After Long Yi and Zhang Dahai got on the boat, a man got off the cargo ship. This man was specially arranged by Zhang Dahai to row the boat back.

After everyone got on board, Zhang Dahai arranged them in the cargo hold.

When the sailors saw that Zhang Dahai had brought the people back, they quickly started the steam engine. The cargo ship blew the whistle twice and headed towards Shanghai.
