He Tingting was startled and hurriedly turned around. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the moonlight, a gentle woman in her twenties was looking at her with concern.

"Are you here with your family and going to smuggle to Xiangjiang?" the gentle woman asked again when she saw that He Tingting didn't speak.

She seemed a little anxious, but she tried to be gentle, so it was a little weird.

He Tingting shook his head, "I'm not, I was tied up by my neighbor, and he asked me to be his daughter and said he would take me to Xiangjiang." But I didn't want to go, so I avoided him. ”

The gentle woman was taken aback, "Is there such a bad person?" she said, looking around, and said, "There are all kinds of people here at night, it's very dangerous, you don't want to wander outside." I don't have time to talk to you too much, so if you believe me, come with me and stay at my house for one night. ”

He Tingting hesitated slightly, and decided to go with this gentle woman.

She could see that a gentle woman was well-dressed and should be a person with a good job, not a bad person.

The gentle woman seemed to be in a hurry, and when she saw He Tingting agreeing, she took her little hand and walked hurriedly, her brows furrowing more and more.

After walking for a while, the gentle woman led He Tingting into a small alley, and then continued to walk to a low-lying place.

Walking to a house isolated in the wilderness, the gentle woman stopped, trembling all over, and stood quietly in front of the door.

He Tingting was very puzzled when he heard the sound of rummaging in the house, turned his head to look at the gentle woman, and guessed whether she had come to catch the thief.

It's too dangerous for just a woman to be single to catch a thief.

The gentle woman couldn't take care of He Tingting at all at this time, she was short of breath, obviously very excited.

In the middle of the night, she raised her trembling hands and gently pushed the door open.

The room was as light as a bean, and a man was rummaging through it. The shadow of the lamp shines on the human figure on the wall, like a man-eating beast.

"Brother Wen, what are you looking for?" The gentle woman led He Tingting into the house and asked in a trembling voice.

Brother Wen? Is it a man? He Tingting sighed in her heart, didn't she come to catch a thief, but to meet a man? She remembered that at this time, men and women could not meet so casually.

The man in the room turned around in a bit of a panic, gave up looking for something, and said, "No, it's nothing, it's just the hat during the day, I forgot where to put it for a while." ”

The gentle woman let go of He Tingting and walked up to the man, "Brother Wen, are you looking for a flashlight?

"Ah Lian, I didn't ......," the man said with his head down.

Even He Tingting could see that the man was lying, and the gentle woman named Ah Lian could see it, and her voice choked,

"You don't have to lie to me, I know you want to leave, you have been telling my parents and my parents to pay attention to their health, encouraging my brother and my sister to study hard, and going out to explain everything, do you still want to lie to me? And every Sunday, you and your friends go to the reservoir to learn to swim. And the hair, all long...... Do you think I don't know?"

He Tingting's mouth opened slightly in surprise, and he looked at the man who had been lowering his head to see what he was about to say.

But the man didn't speak, and Ah Lian choked up and said again, "You sent me back to my parents' house today, just to break me away and go alone, don't you? Don't you want me? Don't you want your son? Are you willing to leave our mother and son?"

At this time, people who smuggled to Xiangjiang alone, whether married or unmarried, as long as the object did not follow the past, would marry another wife to live, and let go of the wife who remained on the other side. In other words, smuggling alone means abandoning his wife and children.

"I can't bear to ......" The man suddenly cried out like a wounded beast,

"But I'm not reconciled, unwilling that our son will grow up and earn a salary of thirty or forty a month like us. He hadn't even seen Yiliduo, and the last time he ate the one that Mr. Wang brought over, he even opened the lid to lick every drop...... He deserves to be doing well......"

Ah Lian cried, "But although it is more bitter to stay here, it is better than separation." If you go, our home will be gone......"

The man sobbed in a low voice, "I went, I will definitely not marry someone else, I just want to go and make more money, and then send it back to Yangyang and you, I want the child to live a good life." ”

Hearing this, Ah Lian took the man's hand and cried silently, "I don't want a good life, I just want our family to be together." Don't go, don't leave us...... Please, don't go, don't go......"

He Tingting heard Ah Lian's desolate pleading, and he also felt uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Yes, uncle, don't go to Xiangjiang." Our reform and opening up here will get better and better in the future, no worse than Xiangjiang. ”

"That's right, didn't you say that you want to build a special export zone? Brother Wen, I don't allow you to go, you don't want to go. Ah Lian held Brother Wen's hand and cried.

At this time, the wind rose outside, and the whistling sound of the wind signaled the coming of the typhoon, and against the low crying sound in the house, it looked very desolate.

He Tingting listened to the crying and the sound of the wind, and had an illusion of messy time, as if the prosperity of more than 30 years later was about to break through time and fall on this miserable and desperate small fishing village, erasing all the crying and hopelessness.

Brother Wen slowly stretched out his hand and hugged the crying Ah Lian, "Okay, I'm not leaving, don't cry." We are together as a family, no matter how poor we are, we must be together!"

As soon as these words came out, Ah Lian did not immediately burst into laughter, but cried loudly, crying until she hiccuped.

He Tingting was embarrassed to hear this, so he found a chair and sat down, quietly waiting for the two to calm down.

After a while, Ah Lian's crying was put away, but a man's voice called Brother Wen came outside, "Chen Wen, are you ready?" The typhoon is coming, and it is ready to rain......

"I'm not going, I'm going to stay with my wife and children, if you want to go, you can go, I'm not going. Brother Wen hugged Ah Lian and said to the outside, his voice was extremely resolute.

The people outside persuaded a few words, but when they saw that Chen Wen still refused to go, they gave up and left.

At this time, Chen Wen and Yang Lian had time to entertain He Tingting.

Chen Wen asked her where her home was, who was in the family, and what were the names of her parents. Yang Lian took out the glutinous rice flour and mixed it with some sharp rice flour to fry the glutinous rice balls, ready to serve He Tingting for dinner.

Outside the house, there was a strong wind and heavy rain, listening to a feeling of chaotic times, and in the house, the fire was melting, there was the sound of frying glutinous rice cakes, and Yang Lian's gentle voice, which seemed very warm.

That night, He Tingting took a simple bath, ate glutinous rice balls, and slept on Yang Lian's son's bed.

I slept until midnight, when I suddenly heard a quick knock on the door, and someone shouted, "Please, give me something to eat, we are from the other side of the river......"

He Tingting was homesick, and there was a noisy sound of wind and rain, plus he slept in someone else's house, he didn't sleep deeply, and he woke up instantly when he heard the knock and shouting, and got up in disarray.

Outside, Chen Wen and Yang Lian had already gotten up, and Yang Lian was holding an oil lamp and went to open the door with Chen Wenxiang.

When He Tingting saw it, he hurriedly followed, "Uncle Chen, Aunt Lian, who is outside?"

"I don't know, I guess it's a stowaway. Yang Lian's voice fell, the knock on the door became urgent again, and the pleading voice became louder, "We swam over from the other side, we want something to eat, please open the door......

Chen Wen understood, let out a long sigh, and opened the door.

The person outside walked in instantly, panting and saying excitedly, "Thank you, we have finally arrived, haha, finally arrived...... When we go to the city, get a residence permit and find a job, we will definitely repay you. ”

There were four of them, and they sat down on the floor as soon as they entered, their stretched bodies showing that they were in a very good mood.

Yang Lian thought about it, went to turn on the electric light, blew out the oil lamp, put the oil lamp on the table, and pulled He Tingting to the side and sat down.

Chen Wen looked at the four people sitting on the ground and shook his head, "We are not Xiangjiang here, we are Pengcheng Bay. You've been swept back by the sea, aren't you?"

"What are you talking about? isn't this Xiangjiang?" the four people underground suddenly jumped up and screamed in disbelief.

Chen Wen nodded, "You guys went into the water from the mangrove forest, right? You've been swimming for a long time, and you've got it in the wrong direction. ”

When He Tingting heard this, he understood that these people had made a mistake, thinking that he had arrived in Xiangjiang, but he didn't expect to be here. She looked at the clock on the wall, half past two in the morning.

Those four people were so shocked, you look at me, I look at you, and they ran outside like crazy.

"It is estimated that it was strong wind and rain, and they swam for a long time, so long that the lights on the opposite side were extinguished, and they couldn't tell the direction. Chen Wen shook his head and said.

Typhoons are flooding, border guards are not so strict, and patrols will be lazy, and there is a great chance that they can mix in and enter the city. But typhoon days are also bad, that is, the wind and water are strong, and it is too difficult to swim through.

Yang Lian didn't speak, just looked at Chen Wen, worried that he would still swim over.

Chen Wen was immersed in his own thinking, as if he didn't see Yang Lian's gaze, and said in a low voice, "I heard that next year, that is, after New Year's Day in the 80th year, Xiangjiang will no longer issue residence permits to smugglers, even if they arrive in the city to find their relatives." This year, it's the last chance. ”

"Brother Wen, don't go over, I won't allow you to go over. Yang Lian stood up, walked to Chen Wen's side, held his hand and said worriedly.

Chen Wen came back to his senses and nodded, "Well, I won't go over, we'll go together." Whether it's a good day or a poor day, they're all together. ”

He Tingting listened to Chen Wen's words and breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Lian was very good to her, she hoped that she would be happy every day, not sad and not crying.

The four people who ran out never came back, probably because they found that they were really still in the place where they went into the sea, and they were so stimulated that they couldn't stand it.

The wind and rain outside were still loud, as if God was angry.
