Chapter Eleven The Three

Fortunately, although the passenger ships on the Yangtze River are not as huge as those on the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, each passenger has his own room. The Yangtze River passenger ship that Yan Guang is on is a two-story type. The first and second floors are cabins where passengers live, and above the second floor is an open-air platform, where passengers can relax and enjoy the scenery on the platform.

There are many cabins on each floor, and Yan Guang has not counted them carefully, but I believe it can carry a lot of people.

"Please give me your ticket." The staff in charge of ticket checking signaled Yan Guang to show him the ticket.

"Okay." After saying that, Yan Guang handed her the ticket in his hand.

"You can go up." After checking the boat ticket, the staff leaned over.

After boarding the ship, Yan Guang found his own cabin on the second floor. Although the space in the cabin was not the same as the passenger ship when he returned to China, the tonnage of this passenger ship was considered good considering that the tonnage of this passenger ship was also considered good.

After putting all the luggage in, Yan Guang ran to the platform at the top of the cabin to see the surrounding scenery.

At this time, Yan Guang discovered that many people, like him, also ran to the platform to watch the scenery. Among them, except for a pretty female student and an old man, three young people dressed in military personnel are the most eye-catching.

"It's the New Army's outfit, and I don't know which New Army it is." The difference between the New Army and the Old Army (Patrol Battalion) is still very obvious. The New Army's military uniforms can be said to have certain modern military uniform characteristics, although the light blue color makes Yan Guang always feel a little awkward.

In contrast, although the military uniforms of the patrol battalion are no longer the same as those of the past, they always feel that they are incompletely evolved compared with the military uniforms of the new army.

However, Yan Guang glanced at the red epaulettes on the shoulders of the three soldiers, and seemed to be just ordinary soldiers.

After looking at the three soldiers for a while, they found that they had not noticed that after observing them, Yan Guang turned his gaze to the scenery on the Yangtze River.

After about thirty minutes, the passenger ship finally set sail, but at this time the passenger ship passed by a British ship again, which made Yan Guang frown. Yan Guang noticed that the three new soldiers just now looked a little ugly when they saw the British ship.

Traveling in the water and land is much easier than traveling by land, and the speed is faster than travel by land. After all, you will always encounter all kinds of troubles on the road, and there are various rugged mountain roads that make you unable to get fast. In comparison, there is no problem with water and land. As long as you don’t encounter any difficult problems, water and land are synonyms for unobstructed traffic.

"Is this Nantong?" It took only five hours, and by the evening, the passenger ship had already arrived in Nantong City.

The passenger ship stopped slightly in Nantong for a while and then "" again. This time, the passenger ship stopped many passengers and also carried many passengers again.

Looking at the passengers in the boat, thinking about the silver dollars spent when buying a boat ticket, Yan Guang suddenly felt that perhaps opening a ship company seemed to be a good choice, but thinking about the cost of starting a ship company...

"Sure enough, I'm only suitable for small businesses..." Yan Guang sighed again when he thought of the more than 200,000 silver dollars he carried with him.

After it was time to eat, Yan Guang returned to his cabin and ate some casually before laying down.

"Oh, how do you cook the next few days? When I came back, I would have Douyaocai and two foreigners playing mahjong with me. Who can I find to relieve my boredom now?" Yan Guang regretted why he didn't buy chess, poker or something when he arrived in Nantong just now, or simply bought a game of Go and then played Go with others.

It’s a pity that I regret it too late now. If you want to buy it, you can only wait until the passenger ship arrives at the next destination, Zhenjiang.

The next morning, Yan Guang, who was already asleep, was woken up by the sound of the passenger ship's whistle. He picked up his watch and saw that it was already six o'clock in the morning.

"Damn, what's the nerves at only six o'clock?" Although I fell asleep at around nine o'clock yesterday, Yan Guang's habit was to sleep for ten hours a day. Now he woke him up at only six o'clock. Yan Guang felt a little angry.

After opening the door and walking out of the cabin, he was surprised to see Yan Guang, the city who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"No, you'll arrive in Zhenjiang so soon?" At this time, Yan Guang realized that the whistle just now was to remind the passengers who were put on, that the passenger ship had arrived in Zhenjiang. Then, naturally, those who wanted to get off the boat and those who wanted to get on board were on board.

"Maybe in less than a week, I can arrive in Chongqing."

When he learned from the crew that the ship would dock for two hours before it would be re-docked, Yan Guang immediately got off the ship with the other passengers.

After yesterday's lesson, Yan Guang was preparing to buy some pastimes in the port, such as chess, mahjong, poker or reading books, and of course fruits eaten on the boat.

It’s a pity that this era is so different from later generations in terms of entertainment. After traveling in the port for an entire hour, Yan Guang only bought today’s newspapers and the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Journey to the West and the Romance of the Gods. Originally, the bookseller was planning to promote the Dream of the Red Chamber to Yan Guang, but Yan Guang was really not interested in this kind of book and therefore did not buy it.

"Boss, do you have mahjong here?"

Yan Guang, who was already preparing to return to the ship, saw that he actually saw the three new soldiers on the passenger ship.

"Yes, yes, of course." When he heard that he wanted to buy mahjong, the boss soon came out. "What do you want?"

"We just spent time on the boat, the cheapest one is enough." The soldier among them smiled.

"I understand." The boss quickly ran out with a wooden box in his arms. "Do you think this is OK?" After that, he opened the wooden box, which was full of mahjong carved from wood.

"Okay, that's fine." After paying the money, the soldier took the wooden box. "That's fine. Next, just find another person on the boat and you can make a table."

"Well, otherwise I really don't know how to spend time." Another soldier also smiled, only one soldier was left looking like he was not interested.

Hearing this, Yan Guang quickly stood up. "Three people are missing one? Can you count me as one?"

"Are you?" The three people who were about to go back were stunned when they saw Yan Guang who suddenly jumped out.

"I am also a passenger on the boat. I was going down to buy a box of mahjong and then searching for three people to spend time together. I just heard the words of three people, so I planned to come in."

"oh?"
