Chapter 1236 The Great Axis Stage(2/3)
"Let her follow," Mei Xiang made the decision without any explanation, and said as she walked out.
"Then let her follow."
Xiao Su's mother nodded indifferently, "This time, your uncle spent a lot of money to book several second-class sleeping berths. If you go up here and sleep, you will arrive early the next morning."
After Xiao Su's mother finished speaking, she greeted again, "Drama troupe, you guys carry your suitcases outside and load them on the cart. It's only a few steps away, so just follow the cart! Meixiang, Youmei, you guys follow
I'll take the car there. Wei Ran, you're responsible for driving."
"okay!"
Wei Ran responded and helped open the back and passenger doors of the car in the yard. After Xiao Su's mother and the three of them got in, he went around to the other side and got into the cab.
"Xiao Ma, is it a safe journey?" Wei Ran asked as he controlled the car to leave the yard in reverse.
"How come you are so uneasy?" Xiao Su's mother, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked back.
"If there are people robbing people on this train, it means Ansheng. If there aren't, it means Ansheng."
Wei Ran replied matter-of-factly, "But I've heard that there are quite a few guerrillas robbing trains along this railway line. It would be quite a sight if we encounter them."
"I heard about it too"
Mei Xiang followed the chorus and said, "I heard that those people not only stole money and killed people, but also stole the railroad tracks."
"I should have known I would have brought my gun." Xiao Su's mother patted her fat thigh with a regretful look on her face.
"What do you think?"
Wei Ran said as he drove towards the station, "Canhua and I both have guns. Mr. Tian just gave them to us. When we went out yesterday, I remembered that my uncle also had a gun.
When the time comes, you take your cousin and Mr. Furukawa to sleep in the same room, and I will let Canhua sleep in the same room with you, so that you can live more peacefully with two guns."
After saying that, Wei Ran didn't wait for the people in the car to speak and continued, "Sisters Youmei, Qiushi, and Jasmine are in the same room as me. I will definitely protect the safety of the three of them."
"Don't think I don't know what your kid's plans are!"
Xiao Su's mother angrily poked Wei Ran's head with her finger, and then said without doubt, "Let Canhua and Qiu Shi sleep with me. Don't you just want to sleep with Youmei?"
Okay, I’ll satisfy you. You, Miss Youmei, and your cousin will share a room later, and then let Jasmine share the same cabin with you."
"Ah?" Wei Ran said reluctantly, "How about we let Qiushi and Jasmine switch? Jasmine knows how to take care of others."
"If you don't want to change, I think Jasmine is ugly." Xiao Su's mother refused without thinking.
"I think she's ugly too," Wei Ran muttered, and then he received a slap on the back of the head from Mei Xiang behind him.
"What are you talking about?"
Meixiang said angrily, "It's up to Xiao Su's mother to arrange it. You and I will share a room, and sister Youmei, you will also share a room with me. Don't worry, Jasmine and I will definitely like this guy."
"Yes!" Yumi nodded like a later-generation fool, as if she had no objection to this arrangement.
While they were talking, the car drove to the train station. After everyone got off the bus, Xiao Su's mother immediately took them to meet Mr. Furukawa who had already bought the tickets.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After waiting for another pack of cigarettes, the members of the Chunhua Opera Troupe followed two donkey-drawn carts and came over with their household belongings for the performance.
.
Tickets were distributed to everyone, and Mr. Furukawa and Xiao Su's mother walked at the front. However, they didn't even have to check the tickets, so they entered the station unimpeded and got into the penultimate carriage.
Before anyone could find the car corresponding to the ticket, the train left the station with the sound of the whistle, amidst the strong smell of soot and even richer water vapor, and began to slowly pick up speed.
Neither of them had any luggage. After Wei Ran determined the location of the carriage where he, Mei Xiang, Jasmine and Youmei lived, he disappeared on the pretext of going to pee.
He walked all the way from the second-class carriage to the third-class carriage closest to the coal car. In addition to buying two packs of cigarettes in the dining car, he really made a lot of discoveries.
These discoveries were not limited to the tacit agreement among the troupe members to arrange accommodation for two men and two women. He also discovered Cao Yuba and Xiaoguan sitting in the second-class carriage!
However, at this time, Cao Mute had already changed into a long gown and a top hat, and his original sideburns had been shaved off, leaving only a layer of numb green stubble.
Xiaoguan, on the other hand, was wearing brown overalls, a yellow plaid shirt, a newsboy cap on his head, a civilized stick in his hand, and a beard of the same style as Chaplin's between his mouth and nose.
There was a thick cigar in his mouth.
Without stopping or looking at them, Wei Ran returned to the second-class compartment with a cigarette in his mouth and once again observed the compartment where the troupe members lived.
At this time, he discovered more clearly that the bedrooms in these four-person rooms were basically not adjacent to each other. There were compartments in the middle, but there were no passengers living in these compartments.
He also didn't say hello to them. Wei Ran didn't return to the bedroom where he, Mei Xiang, Youmi, and Jasmine were staying until he finished smoking the cigarette in his hand.
At this time, there was only Jasmine in the carriage who was busy wiping the velvet bed.
"Where's my cousin?" Wei Ran asked, leaning against the door frame and looking in the direction of the berths where Furukawa and others were not far away.
"Take Miss Yumei to play cards with Xiao Su's mother and Mr. Furukawa."
After speaking, Jasmine poked her head out to look outside, then hid behind Wei Ran and lowered her voice and said, "We have to finish singing the last play before the car drives to Sugar Mountain."
"How do you plan to sing?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.
"Let's also sing a civet cat for a prince. Since they want to borrow our identities, we simply use their stage to sing an extra version of Escape from the Golden Cicada."
"That's a good idea!" Wei Ran's eyes lit up, and he obviously understood what the other party meant, but then he asked, "Where is the family? What should we do at home?"
"rest assured"
Jasmine whispered, "With Miss Gu here, we can stop some troubles during the day, not to mention Mr. Hong, who will also ensure the safety there."
Mr. Hong? Feng Maoyun? Wei Ran couldn't help but be a little curious. What is the background of Feng Maoyun, whose pseudonym is Mr. Hong? Although he has not appeared since the great flood, he seems to have always been close to Shuyu.
contact.
Jasmine took the initiative to explain without waiting for Wei Ran to ask, "As long as we leave Jinmen, no one will be watching over at the study apartment.
At 12:40 this evening, Mr. Hong, with the cooperation of Miss Gu, will first move Ma Yang, Uncle Meng and the four and a half of them away.
By the way, a bomb will be placed in the study apartment. As long as someone enters the basement, the bomb explosion will collapse the entire building and completely bury the basement."
Hearing this, Wei Ran couldn't help but was speechless. Cousin Mei Xiang's investment was quite big, and that small building was almost the foundation for her to settle down and live her life, but now...
"As long as they rescue people, they will send a clear telegram at a quarter past twelve."
Jasmine said, stuffing a pack of Qianmen brand cigarettes into Wei Ran's pocket, then raised her finger and pointed in the direction, "The radio is in the box that holds the helmet. That box is in the bedroom next door. There are Xiaojiu and the others.
The two brothers are guarding it. Later, you can find a way to give it and the pack of cigarettes to the mute uncle. If conditions don't allow, you will send and receive the telegram."
"Understood" Wei Ran nodded slightly.
"As long as people are rescued over there, we will take action immediately."
Jasmine finally said, "The train arrived at Sugar Mountain at half past one at night, and at 12 forty-five..."
"It takes less than 20 minutes to get out of Lutai station and stop at Xugezhuang at one o'clock."
Wei Ran returned to the compartment and replied in a low voice, "I just saw the train timetable. This car will stop at Lutai for half an hour. It is probably to add water and coal."
"We must deal with all three of them between twelve forty-five and one o'clock."
Jasmine pointed to the compartment where Ueda and others were staying, "The most important thing is to rescue Little Su's mother. It would be best if we can capture the other two alive. If not, at least we have to kill them all. We all have to jump off the train before one o'clock."
leave.
In addition, it’s best not to shoot. Too much noise may cause trouble. We were not far from Xugezhuang Station at that time. If the Japs in Tangshan were alerted, we wouldn’t be able to escape."
"You give priority to protecting your cousin."
Wei Ran gave instructions in a low voice, and then slightly raised his voice and said bossily, "Moli, go to the dining car to see what food and drink there is, and buy some. You just ran to the train before you even had time to eat.
.”
"Didn't Mr. Ciao just go for a spin?" Jasmine also raised her voice and continued to busy wiping the bed.
"I didn't know this would happen. Those big seeds on my body have been spent long ago. Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."
Wei Ran ordered dissatisfied, and at the same time took a step back slightly, letting go of a uniformed staff member.
“I don’t have much money either”
Although Jasmine said so, she still dropped the rag in her hand and walked towards the dining car.
The bedroom door closed with a clang, and Wei Ran closed the curtain again, then untied his belt, revealing the large pants underneath.
Only then did he take out the PPK pistol and three matching magazines that Ueda had just given him.
After disassembling the gun first, Wei Ran couldn't help but sneered. The gun's parts were all there, but the firing pin was shortened by a file.
Not to mention, when he randomly took out a bullet and squeezed the warhead out through the crack of the door, what poured out was not propellant, but sand mixed with grass seeds!
After thinking for a while, he took out the food box as quickly as possible, first took out his own small PPK pistol and three magazines from it, and then threw the scrap metal that Ueda gave him into the food box together with the spare magazines.
box.
There was no doubt that if he wanted to execute the plan mentioned by Jasmine perfectly, it would be best if he didn't shoot tonight, but he didn't want to take it from the food box when he needed it.
After preparing his weapon, he took out the cigarette that Jasmine had just given him, and after taking out the cigarette inside, he saw the radio frequency written on the inside of the cigarette box, as well as the agreed code "Success 505, Failure 050"
.
It's easy to remember and distinguish... Wei Ran muttered to himself, these three digits in different orders are, to put it bluntly, a sorted combination of 5 and 0.
Converted into Morse code, if Andy and others are rescued successfully over there, the 505 code he receives is "...-----.....", otherwise, if the rescue over there fails, he
What will be received on the radio will be the 050 telegram "-----.....-----".
