稽查員帶來的兵士們，見兩名憲兵走了過來，有些士兵因為心虛，不禁開始你看我、我看你！畢竟他們都知道，自己曾幹過哪些見不得光的勾當！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY5mZnGSSN
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WdAnSpr3d
「這裡......咋會有憲兵？」排長嘴裡嘀咕。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBqVgBdEEa
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdUUumXBXs
稽查員：「怕啥子呢，放心，這裡有俺在！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4giKui5wm
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbPMGypjHJ
弘爺模仿去年老瓦自介時的動作，先拱手作揖，然後字正腔圓地報上自己的姓名、軍銜，及所屬部隊番號。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqRXjltx8e
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhjOHJDV29
稽查員仔細打量眼前這名陌生憲兵，瞧他年紀雖大，卻是個二等兵！加上舉手投足間，還有幾分江湖範兒！他在心裡琢磨著：此人若不是以下犯上，遭降階懲處，就是高深莫測的落難英雄！看來......在摸清他的來路以前，還是先禮讓三分微妙！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYHLFwGCUR
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwBjO2B8zF
於是稽查員先賣弘爺一個面子，也拱手作揖，回敬一番。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGavwgcv7fp
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgv2iX473u
排長聽到弘爺所屬部隊的番號後，趕緊湊到稽查員耳旁，怯聲提示：「他是『狄隊長』的人！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT7nrcbxKe
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64gZ9TWAjJ
「哪個『狄隊長』？俺怎沒聽說過！」稽查員語帶不屑地說。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsIr6EQ3i1
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhzEqM4Lec
弘爺見狄隊的名聲不管用，於是又問：「神機百總－楊文釗、楊站長，您可認得？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0bCyH5lbf
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0e5D4pvFq
一聽到楊站的名字，稽查員剎時就楞住了！再加上排長剛才在耳邊提及大輪車的事蹟，這下換他心裡開始沒底了！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5DNLwUTD3
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yn1QoI51h
弘爺察覺到稽查員的臉色略有異樣，接著再問：「瓦上孔明－邢雋祺、邢主任，您可認得？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ym6j89Y9H
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBBtKj0m00
「哈哈哈哈，原來您認得『神爺』和『瓦爺』！唉唷，不早說，失敬失敬！」稽查員立馬換了張笑臉，變得和顏悅色起來！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMAwSZfnqD
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfE1Izm8vt
經過一番虛情假意的客套寒暄後，換由弘爺代表出面與稽查員交涉。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZwKXhEG8Q
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVydWCXDog
弘爺模仿外省人的口氣，說道：「能否賣莊某一個面子，還望大人高抬貴手，網開一面，放過身後這群鄉親父老一馬？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7TtidmI8i
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5M7GLu1bB
「哈哈哈......既然是神爺的人，那就是自己人！好說......都好說。」稽查員話雖如此，卻面有難色。接著又說：「可您也知道......上峰有令，每天要查扣多少頓量，那都有數，您也別給俺太為難！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6IhSE3OBT
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbckyiqGSB
幾番來回討價還價，雙方最終取得共識；稽查員答應只押走今天查緝商貨的一半量，另一半悉數返還攤商！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjdvo7Ef6q
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJErqnV7KI
稍晚，待兵士們把商貨搬上卡車後，稽查員隨即收隊走人！等卡車徹底消失在視野範圍後，大夥這才鬆了口氣！原本還繃緊緊的肅穆表情，瞬間岔了氣，全都笑了開來！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wJ4t5WON5
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x1vHvpwLl
阿偉故意模仿一遍弘爺拱手作揖的動作和口氣，笑讚：「還有模有樣呢！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwxDrPyJLb
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpGCkqiFqX
廟口攤商們，對大輪車一行人的仗義解圍，無不表示感激與佩服，紛紛誇口讚頌！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAKv3zV5tr
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuODVp8ECeQ
糧行雖被帶走一半的米糧，但至少不是顆粒無剩。稍晚，阿丁扶著外婆，特地來向浩克致謝，還拎著一大瓶清酒要贈與他們！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DLVH8FD81
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnNbaqGH6q
一早就有驚無險的遇上這麼攤事，今天也沒心思做生意了，乾脆早早打烊；趁弘爺、阿偉難得來一趟江仔嘴，大夥拎著清酒，再帶上幾隻沒來得及售出的烤鴨，回到平房小聚一場。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguYAoJOHIN
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9OeQppq5r
自查緝風波後，廟口菜市的熱鬧氣氛大不如前，攤商們都不敢在自家店舖裡擺滿商貨，就怕哪天稽查隊又回來搜刮一波！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYBvuyeprT
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSLLib6dBi
話雖如此，但生意還得做，只是得藏著、偷著做。小額交易尚且能在菜市進行，量大一點的，就得去到附近較隱蔽的倉庫進行。像菸、酒這類奢侈品，市場上幾乎絕跡！要真想買，還得找到熟人引路，走完三關四卡後才能買到。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVRXkTvgWq
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxW2Gpb9m6
除了生意難做外，通貨膨脹更是可怕！當前一包香菸少說也得準備個五、六千才買得到，進口菸甚至破萬的都有！好些地方甚至不再使用貨幣交易了，而是乾脆以物易物！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0gOCeSDzR
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW5r2Np5YA
農曆七月半後，湳仔溝的新鴨場開始動工、整地，大夥白天幾乎都在那裡忙活工程。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJZqOWLtuu

好在羅排帶來一匹馬，算是解決了此前獸力不足的運輸問題。但一則以喜，一則以憂；蔡蓉身體出現微恙，海川說她最近沒天沒夜的吐！不得已，只好告假在家休養，而顧店的工作就交給羅排和花子兩人暫代。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbHaUJJM7F
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsAD8R9aBt
羅排雖不懂閩南話，但好在花子會日語，能用流利的日語和客人交談；也多虧最近生意不是很好，二人守在店鋪裡幫襯，勉強還湊合。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMrxn5G5Tg
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxuwo2Ok1h
查理的私塾也在這幾天開業，但門可羅雀；畢竟鄉親們飯都吃不飽了，哪還顧得上讀書！即便收費再低廉，也是乏人問津。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRskJmnFqk
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiCGdZxQsh
後來在海川的引薦下，找到幾個大戶人家，聘請查理前去擔任家教，教他們的孩子學習英語。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxk89DM2M1

轉眼間，時間來到九月。一天早晨，和往常一樣，開店前，浩克和俊泰先烤好十隻鴨。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDihIsROEJ
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvtJx19i93
「不烤太多，怕賣不完......我估計今天要能賣出五隻就算不錯了。」浩克對羅排說道。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZFRj7hkeh
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6teL8lvcRA
羅排：「放心吧，有花子在，我看能賣六隻！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6igt2XXlBl
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn6wMuh2mJ
聽羅排幽這麼一默，浩克先會心一笑，然後說：「你們就這麼點志氣？不挑戰看看十隻全賣掉！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWnkn67tB2
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii7BF1gYCQ
羅排擺了擺手，笑道：「都賣光了，我們晚餐吃什麼？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS1A00Lpz2
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpbuRYT3XL
浩克作勢飛踢羅排屁股，懟道：「原來你在惦記著今天的即期品！」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaRqYmrocQ
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcdPQBcGzz
把店舖交給羅排和花子後，浩克便駕著馬車，和俊泰一起往湳仔溝工地趕去。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpznXnIADBv
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvhKn8G2co
原以為今天會像前幾天一樣，又是站櫃、顧店、趕蒼蠅的一天。上午10點剛過，突然來了八名年輕人，年紀都不大，甚至有幾個看起來還是未成年！他們上門來也不買東西，就東看看、西瞧瞧，時不時還隨手翻翻排列整齊的商品！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDx4g99ACo
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbznnakRmk
帶頭的年紀稍長，但看上去還不到二十歲；一副痞子德性，腳踩著木屐，頂著山本頭，還對羅排說了一大串閩南話！但羅排聽不懂，只好讓花子用日語試著與他們溝通。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ShYeUF4Ji
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eSFBy1zbR
「他們想知道我們是誰？還問原本顧店的大姊怎麼沒看到人？」花子用客家話對羅排說道。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa3AI9Xbw8
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafldJpjpwW
帶頭少年一聽到客家話，當場就懵了！還特地退到街上，再確認一遍有沒有走錯攤。他嘴裡嘀咕：「『嘸毋對啊』（沒有錯啊），確定是『大輪車烤鴨舖』，是安怎會換作客家人在這顧攤？」329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXLByEZq2o
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVNuv5BxdG
不過少年才懶得管那麼多，因為後面還有其他攤販等著對付，不想在第一家耗太久，於是按慣例，直接向他們索要這個月的規費！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhyz0WS1Q1
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGxBRr7Apf
可少年話還沒說完，一個小跟班就湊到花子身旁，用輕蔑的眼神上下打量，還頻頻出手騷擾！羅排見狀，趕緊把花子拉過來身後，以迴避他們無禮的調戲！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmW5ejMg1V
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJOyG3gKg6
以往這些地痞、流氓，都是蔡蓉在應付；按廟口規矩，交錢就能了事，彼此也就圖個和氣生財。329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiXuebWxC3
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPADoaj75K
可偏偏蔡蓉告假不在，而羅排又沒有應對這類社會事的經驗；他看對方不過是群小屁孩，加上花子還在一旁看著，說什麼也不能讓自己漏氣！329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLSGVquIxT
329Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHINhHSd0W6
雙方幾番推嚷之後，雄性激素爆棚的羅排，竟模仿起浩克上回挑釁稽查員的強硬姿態，透過花子翻譯，堅決表示：「我們分文不交，半步不讓！」
