Chapter 063: Arrival in Shanghai

After class in the evening, Mu Yang returned home. After preparing, he traveled directly to the time and space of the Republic of China. Here was the cruise room heading to Shanghai. He was lying on the bed, and on the bed opposite was the girl he missed, Xia Kejun.

It was already dark outside, and the ship continued to sail on the sea, and the sound of waves slapping on the side of the boat from time to time came. The guest room was not dark, and a small light was on the porch at this time. The light was very weak, but Mu Yang had a good eye. Through the faint light, he saw that Xia Kejun was already asleep. His body was covered with a thin quilt, and a pretty face was exposed outside. The sound of gentle breathing came, which was very peaceful.

Although he and Xia Kejun are already very intimate, they are far from that point. Of course, if Mu Yang wants it, Xia Kejun may not refuse, but why do you need to destroy this beautiful thing? Let love flow in the hearts of both of them, which is hundreds of times stronger than the communication without love.

When Xia Kejun woke up, she opened her eyes and saw Mu Yang on the opposite side looking at him with a smile on her face, which made Xia Kejun feel a little embarrassed.

Are women beautiful when they wake up in the morning? This really depends on people. In fact, most of them will not have any beauty. Think about it, their hair is fluffy, their face is not washed or brushed, and maybe they have two eye poops at the corners of their eyes. How can they be beautiful?

But Xia Kejun is very beautiful. At least Mu Yang thinks Xia Kejun who just woke up is very beautiful. His eyes are a little blurred. His look of Haitang Chun awakening, and his blushing face at this time makes him look more charming.

"Brother Mu, you're awake."

"Yeah, I'm awake, are you going to get up?"

"Brother Mu will get up first, and I will get up again."

Mu Yang laughed, and after getting up, he went directly to the bathroom to wash, leaving space for Xia Kejun.

After Mu Yang walked out of the bathroom, he saw that Xia Kejun was dressed neatly and had already packed up his beds, and said, "The boat is still two days away. I will go to other places on the boat at noon. After all, if no one has ever shown up in our guest room, it is very suspicious."

"Then Brother Mu, be careful, there are many Japanese on this ship."

"Well, I know, don't forget that your elder brother Mu can speak Japanese, and there are some methods to deal with the Japanese."

The two of them simply ate some foods brought by Mu Yang, which was considered a solution to breakfast.

In the afternoon, Mu Yang was dressed neatly, and Xia Kejun also carved her collar intimately.

Before leaving, Mu Yang said, "I won't stay outside for long. After going out, you lock the door of the guest room. Don't open anyone knocking on the door, and don't reply. I will open the door by myself after I come back. Do you know?"

"I will definitely not make a sound." Xia Kejun nodded and responded.

In fact, Mu Yang did this just to prevent problems before it happened. As for what would happen, he himself didn't know. Are you careful to sail the ten thousand-year-old ship?

Mu Yang came to the restaurant on the boat. The boat was divided into three floors. The floor where Mu Yang lived was naturally the highest floor, and it was also the place where rich people, officials and Japanese lived. Ordinary people could only live in ordinary rooms with a few people or even a dozen people, or even a cabin.

The restaurant is decorated in a luxurious manner, with a circular bar in the middle and a circle of tables around it for people to eat.

Mu Yang picked a place near the window and sat down by the sunlight, and asked for a cup of Biluochun to taste slowly. To be honest, he didn't know much about tea, but he could taste it very well. In this autumn season, drinking a cup of hot tea is also a pleasant thing.

The peak period for lunch meals has passed, and there are several tables for drinking tea and chatting. One table of three are officers wearing Japanese officer uniforms, but the rank is not high, and the highest one is a lieutenant.

After watching it, Mu Yang didn't care.

But he didn't cause trouble for those Japanese, but those Japanese came to Muyang, but they didn't cause trouble.

"Is this gentleman Japanese?" One of the Japanese lieutenants came over and asked.

At first, Mu Yang thought that these Japanese were asking for trouble for him, and said, "Is there anything wrong?" Mu Yang did not deny or admit it, but just answered in ambiguously.

"There is nothing else. We want to play cards, but we lack a man. I wonder if you are interested." The second lieutenant continued to ask without caring about Mu Yang's answer.

"What card, I don't know if I can do it." Mu Yang did not agree directly.

"Huazha, can you play?"

"I know the basic rules, but I don't specialize in it." Mu Yang replied.

Huazhao is a traditional Japanese card. Huazhao originated in the Anto and Momoyama era in Japan. It was not until the later period of Edo (Tokugawa Ieyasu), and it was finally established to the present day and continued to this day.

There are 48 cards in total, each 4 cards form one month, a total of 12 months. These 48 cards can be regarded as a smaller version of Japanese culture, not only implying the Japanese style, sacrifices, various acts, rituals, customs, and even implying the meaning of education.

Because of its simple rules and beautiful colors, the flower cards are deeply loved by the Japanese. In Japan, almost no one plays playing cards. Apart from mahjong, the most common ones are playing such cards.

"That's okay, I'll kill time anyway, come here."

Mu Yang had to follow the lieutenant to come to their table. The Japanese lieutenant quickly called him to sit down and start playing. It turned out that this lieutenant liked to play cards and liked to play multi-person Huazha. Seeing that Mu Yang was alone, he was called Mu Yang.

Several people were chatting while playing cards. Mu Yang learned about their identities. The staff of the Japanese Navy Logistics and Maintenance Office were all skilled officers. In later generations, they were technical occupants.

The identity Mu Yang set for himself was a businessman, a Japanese businessman from China, named Yasuo Hirata.

Later, Mu Yang thought about whether he could understand the current situation in Shanghai through them. After all, the data in the book did not ask the real person for real information.

After Mu Yang played a hand, he spoke, "I have been doing business in Beijing and Tianjin in China before. Shanghai has not been around for a long time. I don't know what the situation is here. If something goes wrong, which department should I find?"

"Of course it's the Shanghai Japanese military police. Other military departments will not manage the trivial matters of businessmen."

"Does Shanghai have many departments?"

"Of course, Shanghai's military departments are very complicated, but unlike other cities, there is only one army command. Look at us, we are affiliated with the navy and are specifically responsible for the maintenance of naval warships."

"Then what department is there? Let me introduce it to me. If there is really something wrong, you won't mess around."

"The Shanghai Branch of the Japanese Army Base Camp", "Shanghai Branch of the Japanese Army Command", "Shanghai Japanese Military Police", "Japanese Marine Corps", and "Chinese Fleet General Staff", "Shanghai Base Command", and "Shanghai Fleet General Staff", and "Third Fleet Command Shanghai Branch" are really difficult to distinguish if they are outsiders."

Mu Yang was a little overheard. There were too many departments. Mu Yang could not grasp the key points for a while, which department was managing the antique transportation.

In the next two days, although Mu Yang occasionally appeared outside, nothing happened and no one could find a clue.

After three days of sea voyage, the passenger ship finally arrived at Shanghai Port.

The boat docked at Shiliupu Wharf. Mu Yang held his luggage in one hand and Xia Kejun's hand in the other. Following the crowd, he stepped on the floating bridge made of wooden boats and walked up to the wharf.

"Brother Mu, where will we go first?"

Looking around in a daze, neither of them had come to Shanghai before. Looking at the noisy crowd on the pier, I didn't know which direction I should go.

"First leave the dock, take a rickshaw and ask for directions. Let's find a hotel to stay in, and then slowly think about what's going on." Mu Yang didn't understand the situation in Shanghai, so he could only do it step by step.

After leaving the dock, a rickshaw was called.

"Where are you going to, Mrs.?" asked the coachman.

"Go to the best hotels recently, and the safest ones," Mu Yang said.

"Ah, the safest thing is the Japanese hotel. Now only Japanese hotels are better." The coachman scratched his head and said.

"By the way, let's ask you something. If you want to rent a house in Shanghai, it's safer there." Mu Yang asked.

In this year, it is definitely a very dangerous thing to come out and go out, especially in areas like Shanghai, which are mixed with fish and dragons and occupied by the Japanese army. It is even more chaotic. It is really not easy to find a safe place.

Although Mu Yang doesn't trust these coachmen much, it's okay to inquire about things.

The coachman looked at the clothes of Mu Yang and Xia Kejun and said, "What kind of house do you want to find? If it is a slum area, it will definitely be unsafe. However, as you two, you probably won't live in that kind of place. There are many empty houses in Shanghai now, so it's easy to rent a house, but I don't know which area you plan to live in."

Mu Yang thought about it and wanted to make it easier to enter and exit in the future, he would choose a place closer to the pier. "It is best to be a place that is not far from the pier, but is safer, and Japanese people rarely disturb them."

"That's really hard to find. Now the Japanese have done some air defense exercise every now and then. There is no absolute safety when searching the whole city. However, if you want to hide from some local gangsters, it is better to have a concession area. At least there was no chaos outside there, but now it's occupied by the Japanese. Except for the Japanese, there is really no one else going around there."

The coachman said it very honestly, and this is also the current situation in Shanghai. There is no absolute safe place, it can only be said to be relatively speaking.

"Can you help? Of course, your commission is indispensable." Mu Yang said.

The coachman grinned when he heard this. Helping such a family would make money than pulling a cart, so he naturally agreed happily.

"Then are you looking for a hotel or looking at a house now?" asked the coachman.

Mu Yang looked at it and it was still early, so I didn’t have to worry about staying in a hotel anyway. Let’s go and see if there are any good houses first.

"If there is a suitable place, then look at the house first."

"Why don't we go to the French Concession to take a look?" the coachman asked tentatively.
