Chapter 800 Wuchang City East Wharf
It was almost noon when the comrade named Fu Junjian came back from outside and got some food for everyone.
He told Luan Rong that after the third watch today, many comrades of the Hui Party were arrested, including Liu Fuji and more than ten people. The Qunzhi Society and the Tongjin Club were all raided and sealed. Now Jiang Yiwu, Sun Wu and others are hiding everywhere. Who knows what will happen next?
What is the best step to take?
"How is the situation at the checkpoint leading outside the city?" Luan Rong asked with concern.
"After midnight last night, the whole city was under martial law. All land and waterways were blocked, and travel checks were very strict. Without a pass issued by the military police, it would be difficult to get out," Fu Junjian said.
"I have here the epidemic prevention work pass issued by the Hubei Provincial General Administration of Health, as well as the nuns' clothing. We will go to Chengdong Pier to try it out immediately. If we can, we will take the passenger ship out of the city."
Luan Rong also realized that she couldn't just sit back and wait for death, so she decided to give it a try. She turned to the member and said:
"Comrade Junjian, you don't need to go out of the city with us. You have the cover of the New Army. You are not a party organizer. You should not be on the arrest list of the Military Advisory Committee. Do something for me after you go out."
"Miss Luan Rong, please speak." Fu Junjian nodded.
"You try to contact Mr. Chen Tianhua from Fengzhong Group. He usually lives in the Hung Hom Mansion on Binjiang Avenue, but there should be spies from the Military Advisory Committee around him. You have to be careful."
"I recognize the famous Mr. Chen. I can handle this matter, but how can he believe what I say?" Fu Junjian said.
After hearing this, Luan Rong nodded, thinking it made sense. She thought for a while, took out a piece of paper and a fountain pen from Yuqing's package, and wrote down the words, "The depth of the wine glass is the same as last year, test pouring water under the bridge, and I will be in the river tonight."
.
This is the last sentence of "Dragon Boat Festival Love", only she and Chen Tianhua know it.
"If you take out this note, he will believe what you say after reading it." Luan Rong folded the note and handed it to Fu Junjian's palm.
"Okay, I'll do it right away when I get out. Miss Luan Rong, you have to be careful and don't force yourself to break through. If not, just wait at the east dock of the city. I will find Mr. Chen as soon as possible."
Luan Rong nodded, "Go ahead. Please take care of yourself. We'll see you again later."
"See you later." Fu Junjian clasped his fists, then turned and left the warehouse.
Luan Rong still recognized Fu Junjian very much, so she didn't hesitate at all.
They ate food to satisfy their hunger and buried weapons on the spot. Luan Rong put on a nun's robe and pretended to be a convent nun, Yu Qing became her entourage, and the remaining four guards pretended to be convent handymen. They were going to purchase medicines from other places.
"Let's go!" Luan Rong glanced at everyone, and the six of them walked out of the abandoned warehouse one after another.
…
After passing through the rocky mountains on the outskirts of the city, walking through long alleys one after another, twisting and turning to avoid the searching and patrolling officers and police, we finally arrived in front of the dock outside the East City Gate, where there was the last checkpoint.
Luan Rong knew that as long as she managed to pass this checkpoint and board the passenger ship bound for Shanghai, everything would be safe.
The sky suddenly darkened and it began to rain. It was only after three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was far from evening. The surrounding city was covered in darkness.
The raindrops became heavier and heavier, pitter-pattering on the rotten dirt road under their feet, and splashing drop by drop on the solemn nun's robe. After a while, Luan Rong's lower body nun's robe was soon wet for more than half.
The nun's black turban worn by Luan Rong covered her long waterfall-like hair, while her unpainted cheeks were covered by a mask, revealing only a pair of clear and pure eyes. In the blink of an eye, she looked like an angel in black sent by God.
.
The crowd walking in front of the checkpoint was forced to stop, and the crowd behind them caught up one after another, and soon formed a long queue.
"God bless us and let us arrive safely!" A middle-aged nun clasped her hands devoutly and closed her eyes in prayer.
They are nuns from St. Anthony's Monastery and went to Fuxia County, Wuchang, for disaster relief and epidemic prevention.
Luan Rong and the others lowered their heads and mingled behind the group of nuns.
After walking for nearly a hundred meters, at the checkpoint, there were people from the police station walking back and forth with batons in hand. Luan Rong subconsciously quickened her pace to keep up with the team.
"Stop, where are you going?" Suddenly there was a loud shout, and the progress of the nuns in the row in front stopped abruptly.
The leader of the row of nuns was a middle-aged nun. She took out the epidemic prevention pass issued by the Wuchang Health Bureau from her sleeve and said warmly: "God bless us, we are specially approved by the Health Bureau to go to the disaster area to take care of women who are sick due to the epidemic.
Children and the elderly!”
The rugged inspector in a black police uniform squinted his eyes to carefully read the stamp on the pass, then walked among them and looked at them one by one.
Even if some people were wearing the simplest clothes, it was difficult to cover up the dazzling light. The inspector walked around, and finally his eyes fell firmly on Luan Rong.
"Are you also a nun who went to rescue?" he asked, holding a baton.
"No, sir police officer, we are going outside the city to purchase anti-epidemic drugs." As she said that, Luan Rong took out the pass issued by the General Administration of Health from her sleeve.
"Oh, it was issued by the Provincial General Administration of Health. It has a good background." The inspector said with a playful smile.
Luan Rong just nodded, her head lowered, and her timid appearance quickly won the trust of the police chief who questioned her.
The inspector raised his head, waved his hand, and shouted with great energy, "Let us go!"
Luan Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her head always lowered, and followed the footsteps of the nun in front of her, walking step by step towards the heavily guarded checkpoint.
There were still a few steps to go, even if she had successfully exited the customs, at this moment, Luan Rong keenly heard the sound of neat footsteps coming from behind, like a team running, her heart tightened, and the palms hidden in the black robe could not help but
Clenched into a fist.
"Everyone, stop!" As soon as the words came out, fifty or sixty policemen wearing red armbands had already surrounded the checkpoint and the dock.
Luan Rong couldn't help but raise her eyes. She was only a few steps away from the checkpoint. She saw two rows of policemen standing straight. In the middle came a police officer with a full beard and a fierce look. The shell gun in his hand was rhythmic.
His head was shaking up and down, and his cold black eyes looked up and down at the nuns he had stopped.
The brim of the hat covered his face, making it difficult to see his appearance and demeanor clearly, but Luan Rong still felt the man's serious and cold aura. She suddenly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and shrank back.
Behind him stood a man in plainclothes, holding several portraits in his hand. He glanced at the faces of the show girls and compared them with the portraits in his hands.
Luan Rong understood that among those portraits there must be hers, and maybe there were also portraits of Yuqing. It was hard to tell.
"Captain Rong, what's going on here? These are the nuns sent by the Health Bureau to the plague village!" the police chief who first let them go asked flatteringly.
Rong Ze raised his hand and glared, and the police chief who asked him obediently shut his mouth and retreated behind him.
"The Provincial Admiral's Office and the Provincial Police Headquarters have issued an order that all people entering and exiting the checkpoints must be carefully searched, especially nuns!"
