"It's time to stop, guys. ”

A brown-haired Russian man beckoned everyone to get off the bus in broken Chinese, the climate in the Far East is much colder than the Suzaku in the Chinese mainland, the sun is fine at noon, once the sun goes down, the cold wind blows, a group of people get off the car and are frozen all over, and they complain, "Isn't what you promised a hotel room, why did you pull us here?"

The Chinese staff member who got off the bus at the back explained: "There is a little situation temporarily, the local labor company has closed down, and now there is no job for everyone, you can stay first, wait for two days, and we will find a way." ”

Some people complained: "You are cheating money! I want to return the money and go back to China!"

The staff said: "Don't get excited, we are also victims, you can be wronged for a while, we will contact other companies immediately, in short, we will definitely arrange a job for you." ”

After a toss, a long-distance flight and a bump in China and Pakistan, everyone was so tired that they didn't want to make trouble.

The conditions here are extremely difficult, there are three layers of iron beds in the house, filthy, there are no stools and cabinets, the daily necessities and clothes can only be thrown directly on the bed, only a wire pulls a light bulb for lighting, the computer is not to think about it, you have to go to the public toilet outside to go to the toilet, and even you have to queue up for drinking water and bathing.

More than a dozen Chinese were extremely disappointed, gathered together to discuss, discussed and discussed, no one could come up with an idea, unfamiliar with the place, language barrier, huge gap and fear of being in a foreign country, so that they lost their courage and could only pin all their hopes on the conscience of the labor company.

The labor company brought them food - big lieba, red sausages, steaming beetroot soup in large iron buckets, steamed potatoes, the food was okay, but it did not meet the taste of Chinese who eat rice.

The staff handed out an aluminum lunch box to everyone, the edges were so rough that they could cut their lips, and as they spoke, they said, "Keep the lunch box, wash it, and use it next time." ”

After Zhang Xiaoming and others finished eating, they took an aluminum lunch box to brush the dishes, and by the way they drank tap water, and vomited with a snort, the tap water was very turbid, with a strange smell, and well-informed people said that this was the snow water brought from the nearby snow mountains, and it had not been treated.

The temperature difference between day and night is very large, the temperature plummets at night, the tin house is not warm at all, there is no heater, the north wind is howling, blowing the house creak, everyone was fooled before that they lived in the hotel room, they only brought a few clothes, down jackets and quilts, they were shivering at night, and they couldn't sleep all night, and someone sent an old-fashioned heater in the second half of the night, but it was not used at all, because the wires that were connected randomly could not withstand such high-power electrical appliances, and the wires were burned directly, and it was so cold that people tossed and turned, and they couldn't sleep at all.

After waiting for three whole days, the people of the labor company did not even see a shadow, and fifty migrant workers, including thirteen Chinese, were in a desperate situation, their passports were taken away when they first arrived, the language barrier, foreign land, although no one guarded, they did not dare to go out of the camp, and could only spend money every day to buy food from the stalls pulled by neighboring locals.

On the fourth day, when Zhang Xiaoming and others were discussing whether to go into the city to find the Chinese consulate, the people from the labor company finally came, first apologized to everyone, saying that they had made everyone suffer in the past few days, and then said that after their urgent coordination, they finally contacted another employer, and the treatment did not change much, but the place of work was not in Boli, but changed to Blagoveshchensk.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing where this was, Zhang Xiaoming took the opportunity to sell his knowledge, "It's Hailan Bubble, it's also on the edge of the Heilongjiang River, and China is across the river." ”

As soon as everyone thought about it, the place across the river from the motherland was okay, not too far, so they all agreed to come down.

The staff gave each of them a new contract, full of Russian, and everyone couldn't read it, so there was nothing to worry about when it came to this, so they signed it one by one and pressed their handprints, and left it to their fate.

Dozens of laborers boarded the bus again, and this time it was finally not a Chinese bus, and they were accompanied by more than a dozen dark and thin people, walking together in groups, and ignoring their group of Chinese.

The staff came over with a handful of marijuana bags and divided two big liebas that looked like rolling pins to each person, saying that Maozi is not like China, and there is no rest stop in the middle of the long-distance bus to eat, and this is the food during the journey.

Everyone took it one after another, received a bottle of mineral water from the staff who couldn't understand the label, got on a Chinese-made Golden Dragon bus together, and started the journey north.

The bus seats are not enough, many people can only sit in the aisle, Maozi's road conditions are very bad, the car is very bumpy, many people can't help but start to get sick and vomit, and the carriage is suddenly filled with a nauseating smell.

Zhang Xiaoming got on the train early, grabbed a seat, next to him sat a thin person, although they are all East Asians, but the face shape is obviously not Chinese, he turns back from time to time to talk to his companions, and he does not speak Chinese, Zhang Xiaoming is terrified, he has read all over the world love action movies, some phrases can still be understood, can hear that this is not Japanese, but Korean.

The person next to him gave up his seat to his companion who was motion sickness, Zhang Xiaoming thought about it, and also got up and let a compatriot who almost vomited out of bile sit on his seat, and sat in the aisle, leaning on the seat handle.

In the bumps, he actually fell asleep, and in his dream Zhang Xiaoming found that he had become Duke Maozi, handsome and chic, fluttering in white, living in a Western-style palace, surrounded by the exotic Mao Mei concubine, Lin Yaya served on the side, and the deflated three became a eunuch before and after the saddle and nodded his waist......

The car staggered and kept moving forward, and the villages on both sides of the road were gone, replaced by patches of coniferous forests, and the occasional flash of roe deer and deer could be seen, and the buses drove all day, stopping for the night in a small town.

This small city is very dilapidated, in the afterglow of the sunset you can see patches of dilapidated factories, the top is overgrown with weeds, the permafrost has invaded the city, the cement road is mottled and broken, the city is about the same size as the county seat in China, but the population is about the same as a village, there is not a single person in the whole street, and occasionally there are no young people, all of them are old people.

The desolation in front of them made everyone's hearts beat drums, and they had seen the bustling street scene of the domestic crowds of people, and suddenly saw the scene like a ghost town, everyone did not dare to go out of the station, and spent a night in the bus, the seat of the car was very uncomfortable, Zhang Xiaoming couldn't sleep, looking at the scenery outside through the window, in the dark night, a little spark suddenly appeared in the distance, he thought it was a firefly, but a long wolf howl then sounded, which scared him so much that he shrunk on the seat and didn't dare to move.

Early the next morning, the driver boiled a large bucket of beetroot soup with a big iron bucket, everyone drank a big bowl as breakfast, the bus continued to set off, the road became more and more difficult to walk, there were even brown bears in the jungle on both sides, there were occasional signs on the side of the road, but they were all in Russian, everyone's eyes were black, they didn't know anything, and it wasn't that no one raised objections, but there was only a big lieba to eat, and the big work was so hungry that they were dizzy, and they didn't have the strength to make trouble, so they could only optimistically guess that it was coming.

The next day, I walked for a day and still didn't arrive, the place where I parked at night was even more dilapidated, the station buildings were crumbling, and I couldn't see other city buildings in addition, Zhang Xiaoming climbed to a pillar and looked into the distance, and saw that there seemed to be a town not far away, and there seemed to be traces of roads in the shade, and he was terrified, the city should not be swallowed up by the jungle.

Zhang Xiaoming is also a military otaku, and he still has an impression of the map, Hailan Pao can't be so far, why does it keep going north, and then north is Siberia.

His suspicions finally became true, and after four days of driving, he drove into a city.

Everyone got out of the car, and at a glance, they saw that they were full of dilapidated scenes, and there was no such deformed and prosperous appearance as the Russian Far Eastern cities were close to China, and now, the people of the labor company told the truth, and you signed a contract with a mining company, this is Gera, and you will work here in the future.

Everyone finally understood that they had been sold, just like the Chinese workers in the 19th century, who had been sold as piglets, and that their personal freedom could not be guaranteed, so they were reduced to slavery.

The contract is written in black and white, no one understands Russian, so they signed the slave contract, which says that they will pay a sky-high fine for breach of contract, Gera is a city deep in Siberia, on other people's territory, if you are killed, you will be killed, and if you are thrown into the jungle, it will really disappear from the world, people leave their homeland, it is so cruel, no one wants to be thrown into the jungle as a wolf's snack, so it is troublesome, and finally compromised.

They were sold to a mining company as miners, each earning $500 a month, or less than 3,000 yuan, but they had to work in the mine for 12 hours a day.

Even these five hundred dollars can't be saved for long, and these old Maozi also got more than a dozen Yanmars in the dormitory of the mining area, 25 dollars at a time, although it is a bit expensive, but the workers can't stand the loneliness of wandering in a foreign land, and can't help but release their homesickness through the third leg, and their wages are also hollowed out while hollowing out their bodies.

A week has passed, two weeks have passed, and Zhang Xiaoming, who was born as a college student, has become the backbone of Chinese laborers, especially after taking the lead in fighting with North Korean defectors several times, and he has won everyone's respect.

It's not that he didn't want to organize everyone to find a chance to escape, but outside the mining area is the vast primeval jungle, this is not a tropical rainforest full of fruits, but a cold coniferous forest, a cold jungle where even wolves will starve to death, and the living materials in the mining area are transported in by big trucks from outside, which may be the only chance, but the dozen or so security guards with AK47 are the hurdles they can't overcome.
