Chapter 1 Fleeing Hong Kong to Recognize Relatives

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

It was late, the surroundings were dim, the scenery was faintly visible, but there was no calm in the mountains, all kinds of birds and beasts were chirping, the mountain roads were connected to the dense forest, and a person came out of the depths of the dense forest.

Ye Tian wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, sat on the side of the road to rest, wearing big pants, carrying shriveled tires, hanging plastic bags on his back, and dressed strangely, in the 21st century, he would definitely be recognized as a waste picker, but in the 1980s, children knew what he was going to do.

Along the grass and mud path, step by step to the bank of the Pearl River, Ye Tian looked at the south bank, eager to fly over immediately, a few miles away is the prosperous and extravagant Hong Kong, which can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month.

Of course, earning a thousand yuan a month is not Ye Tian's goal.

After drinking most of the ginger soup prepared in advance, and gnawing on half of the nest, looking back, Ye Tian's mood was infinitely complicated.

"This is leaving."

The Pearl River is a great spectacle for swimming pools: hundreds of citizens are exercising in the water of the Yangtze River, and the slogans are shouted loudly, but the real intention behind them is tacit: to flee to Hong Kong for the sake of a long-distance trip that may happen at any time -- to smuggle across the border defense line and flee to Hong Kong.

There are various ways to smuggle people, some farmers use the excuse of mowing grass and row a small boat to smuggle to Hong Kong, in contrast, the cadres of the production team seem to feel more sorry for the small boat rowed away by the smugglers.

……

Inexplicably to this era for a while, Ye Tian is still not used to the daily life here, from morning to night, in addition to gruel is nest head, there are few banknotes, since he regained consciousness, a total of five yuan and seven cents, one cent by one.

As for why he went to Hong Kong, it was because there were too many things that had happened recently, his grandmother died, the village chief occupied the land, the girl who was supposed to marry him married someone else, and everything seemed to be forcing Ye Tian to escape from this place.

"They call me a supervisor, but I, Ye Tian, will definitely come back!"

The locals call the smuggling of Hong Kong by water as a "supervisor", borrowing the term of playing chess, taking its meaning of "there is no return", Ye Tian knows that the mainland is getting better and better, and sooner or later, he will come back.

There are two ways for ordinary people in Hong Kong, one is to smuggle people, and the other is to apply for a permit through formal channels and cross the boundary management office.

Ye Tian, who has no money, no power and no power, has no choice but to smuggle in, and it is very simple to be dangerous.

Smuggling, also known as those who flee the port, can be divided into three types according to the way: walking, swimming, and taking a boat, and according to the route, there are differences between the eastern route, the middle route, and the western route, and the division of labor is meticulous and clear.

Escapees from Hong Kong usually choose to swim along, that is, starting from Shekou and mangrove forests, swimming across the bay to Yuen Long, in the northwest of Hong Kong's New Territories, this route has been tried by many predecessors, and during peak times, thousands of people come every day, which is more lively than swimming competitions.

……

I have been waiting on the shore until it gets dark, the moonlight illuminates the lake, there is no one around, I check the objects on my body, I slowly go into the water, the water surface is rippling, and after swimming hard for more than ten minutes, Ye Tian gradually feels tired.

"Make up your mind, overcome all difficulties, and strive to get to the shore ......" kept encouraging yourself to persevere, now it is far from the opposite shore, and the inspectors may find it at any time, and after swimming for more than ten minutes, exhausted, Ye Tian floated on the water with his head up, flattened the tire on his shoulder, and blew carefully, and after a while, there was one more 'swimming ring' on the lake.

In order to swim smoothly to Hong Kong, in addition to the best place to go into the water, you also need more skills, according to some of the predecessors who failed to smuggle out, people who are well prepared will bring a small inflatable lifebuoy and other objects that can be floated when smuggling, but they are not used as soon as they get out of the water, because that will affect the speed, and it is easy to be found, on the contrary, they will release the air in these inflatable cavities, fold it and take it into the water, and when they are tired in the middle of swimming, they will take it out and blow it up to float on the water for a short rest.

Ye Tianhuo learned to use, and couldn't find a lifebuoy, so he unloaded the new motorcycle wheel bought by the village chief, this village chief is not a good bird, the village is just a blessing, I heard that there is a new area above, and it is forced to annex most of the idle land in the village, including the Ye family.

Lying on the swimming ring, drank a sip of ginger soup, the body warmed up a lot, after resting, Ye Tian released the tire gas, continued to paddle, so after about half an hour, faintly saw the lights on the other side, the spirit was shocked, blow on the tire again, stop in place to rest, and plan to swim to Hong Kong in one go.

The bright moonlight illuminated the water surface, Ye Tian stared at the distance not far ahead, his mood suddenly deteriorated, and a circle of water ripples gradually dispersed around him, but there was a wave of very discordant water ripples pushing in his direction, looking at the origin of the water ripples, Ye Tian understood in his heart that something was approaching him.

Fish? Shark? Or something else?

Ye Tian clenched his fists, his heart beat faster, don't be a shark, no matter how strong his body is, if he touches a shark, he will definitely be dead, and he doesn't have much strength now.

The black shadow gradually approached, and when it was less than a meter away from Ye Tian, the water surface suddenly shook violently, and there was a black shadow under the water slowly rising, Ye Tian didn't have time to think about it, according to the black circle is a punch, the water surface was silent for a moment, and a head suddenly emerged from underwater.

"Hey, comrade, you're too ruthless, I'm not a shark!"

“**!”

Seeing a living person jumping out of the water, while the fear was gone, Ye Tian couldn't help but burst into foul language, scolding: "People are scary and scared to death!" How did you get out of the water! ”

"Just kidding."

The person who came laughed and explained: "I held my breath just now, if you hadn't woken me up with a punch, I would have seen Hades go today, comrade, you will also go to Hong Kong?" ”

"What do you say, the moon is dark and the wind is high, did I run to the sea to exercise?"

"Haha, comrade, you are so humorous, my name is Li Aijun, acquaintance is fate, don't you mind lending me your one to hold up, right?" Li Aijun pulled the small circles around his neck in his hands and showed off: "Comrade, do you know what this is? Hong Kong is very popular, I heard that if you wear it, you can't have children, so in order to go to Hong Kong's flower society, I also let it go. ”

"You're thinking too much."

Ye Tian was speechless, how did he touch a rod cone, gave the tire to the other party, and said, "You rest slowly, the shore is in front of you, I'll go over first." ”

"Hey, comrade, wait, let's go together, by the way, I haven't asked you what your name is?"

Li Jianjun paddled the water, and after a while, he caught up with Ye Tian, holding the tire with both arms, and pedaling backwards, the speed was not slow, and his physical fitness was not ordinarily good.

Homosexuals?

Ye Tian pursed his lips, always listening to the other party enthusiastically say these two words, he was always awkward in his heart, talking while swimming was taboo, but this Li Aijun was still a chatter, seeing that Ye Tian didn't answer, he became more and more energetic when he spoke.

"Uncle asked me to change my name, what do you say my name is?"

"I've already thought about it, it's called Li Benzhong, hehe, the meaning of loyalty by nature."

Li Benzhong? Li Buzhong was about the same, and Ye Tian continued to paddle.

"Comrade, don't worry, my uncle is on the other side, you don't know yet, my uncle can be famous, there are hundreds of people under his hands, when you get there, you will follow me, for the sake of this atmosphere, I will not treat you badly, I will give you thirty yuan a month, fifty yuan of wages, what's the matter, I am generous."

"Comrade, why don't you speak?"

Ye Tian's face was black, and he held on to the tire and said: "Brother Benzhong, please don't be a comrade anymore, I am not a comrade." ”

"That's right, I heard my uncle say, comrades are not popular in Hong Kong, grandma's, in the end it is a capitalist society, what a good name, why don't they like it?"

"Whoa...... Whoa......"

The two stowaways paddled hard, and under the bright moonlight, they could vaguely see the coastline, and when they were less than 100 meters away from the shore, suddenly, countless headlights flashed, and the bright light was dazzling, and Ye Tian was instantly disheartened.

"Ma Dan, what kind of world, do the Hong Kong police have nothing to do, they went to the shore in ambush in the middle of the night."

It's no wonder that Ye Tian thinks so, now the scene is very similar to the plot of the police arresting people in the movie, just like "Infernal Affairs", the moon is dark and the wind is high, the beach is trading, and the police are ambushed, the only difference is that there is no siren.

"Ah Jun, is that you!"

"Uncle!"

Li Aijun jumped up excitedly, popped, fell into the sea again, and drank several sips of seawater, Ye Tian felt that things had taken a turn for the better, and quietly helped him stand up.

"Not the police!"

When he arrived at the shore, Ye Tian saw the true face of Lushan, it turned out that more than a dozen cars turned on their high beams at the same time, and he was frightened by this situation.

This gang of underworld is really good at playing, and smuggling is also put on such a big show.

After going ashore, Ye Tian took off his pants for the first time, wore a white vest, jeans full of holes, and a pair of slippers, and his image looked a little non-mainstream.

"Uncle, you want to die, my mother asked me to ask, how did my father die......"

"Alas, his grandmother's, someone sneaked up on him during the transaction and was hit by a car and died."

"I want revenge!"

"Alas, the enemy family is powerful, Ah Jun, you can live in Hong Kong with peace of mind first."

……

Li Aijun pulled a bald middle-aged man to reminisce, saw Ye Tian walking out, and shouted, "Comrade, what's your name." ”

"Ye Tian!"

The bald man asked, "Who is he, so bite?" ”

"My brother."

"Forget it."

Bald touched his chin, he also planned to accept Ye Tian as his younger brother, the people who had just been smuggled in were very bold, and several transactions on his side were handed over to the human snakes to complete.

Li Aijun waved his hand at Ye Tian's back, still thinking in his heart, could it be that he was paid less?

"Uncle, did you bring any money?"

"Stinky boy, what do you want money for?"

"To my brother, he saved my life!"

The bald man was amused by his nephew and sneered: "Ah Jun, you have to remember, you can't be too real, you are my nephew, my career will be passed on to you sooner or later, how can you be the boss like this, you and him are people of two worlds, don't take it too seriously!" ”

"Uncle!"

"Good! I love it! The bald man pulled a little brother next to him, took out two crumpled Hong Kong dollars from the other party's pocket, and said with a smile: "There are 500 here, hey, it's 100, give him an emergency." ”

Li Aijun was a little unhappy when he saw his uncle put the 500 banknote into his pocket, and hurriedly caught up with Ye Tian with 100 Hong Kong dollars.

"Comrade Ye!"

"What's the matter?"

Ye Tian was reluctant to turn around, to be honest, he didn't want to have anything to do with the community members, the Hong Kong community is a real underworld group, and if you look at the old boy, you can know that it is not a small fight in China, slashing and killing at every turn, and even his family will not let go.

Li Aijun said: "You don't have any money on you, this is 100 ......"

In front of him, Ye Tian was deeply surprised, he couldn't accept this money, and before coming to Hong Kong, he converted all the RMB at home into Hong Kong dollars, which was 2,000 Hong Kong dollars.

"No, I have Hong Kong dollars."

"Okay, you have something to come to me, I heard from my uncle, I will live in the New Territories in the future!" Li Aijun nodded and put away the banknotes, Ye Tian's chic temperament attracted him very much, he hadn't even read a book, he was a rough man, and he really couldn't learn it.

The convoy stopped on the side of the dirt road, and the bald man's head stuck out of the window, and said with a big grin: "Two big men are talking about a fart, hurry up and get in the car, this wilderness can't go out until dawn!" ”

Ye Tian hesitated, followed Li Aijun to get in the car, it was not for no purpose to come to Hong Kong, Ye Tian had relatives to take refuge in, a rich man, which was also one of the reasons why Ye Tian was determined to come to Hong Kong.

In the car, the bald man had the idea of accepting Ye Tian as his younger brother again, and seduced: "Tianzai, do you have a place to live in Hong Kong?" ”

Ye Tian said with a smile: "My uncle is doing business in Hong Kong, and before my grandmother died, she asked me to defect to him." ”

The bald man was slightly disappointed, and asked casually: "What's your uncle's name, Hong Kong fart is a big place, maybe I still know it." ”

Ye Tian said lightly: "Qiu Degen! ”

"Qiu Degen?" The bald man frowned, the name was really familiar.

Li Aijun was puzzled: "Your surname is Ye, why is your uncle's surname Qiu?" ”

Ye Tiandao: "Dad is a slave, and I follow my mother's surname." ”

"I remembered!" The bald man patted his thigh, no wonder he felt that Qiu Degen's three words were very familiar, isn't this the boss of the Far Eastern Bank, a well-known rich man in Hong Kong, whose career has become more and more prosperous in recent years, with a wealth of more than 10 billion.

Li Aihua asked, "Uncle, what do you remember?" ”

The bald man's eyes flashed, he stared back at Ye Tian, and asked with a tiger face, "Is your uncle's name really Qiu Degen?" ”

Ye Tian's heart moved, this bald man didn't want to kidnap me for ransom!

"Qiu Degeng, the cultivation of the cultivated land, I heard my grandmother say that he sells fish."

The bald man was disappointed and said, "Your uncle is in Hong Kong, how do you know that he sells fish?" ”

Ye Tiandao: "Family letters, every few months, my uncle will send letters to my family. ”

"I'll just say, how can a poor boy be related to a rich man." The bald man shook his head and turned around, not even thinking of accepting Ye Tian as his junior brother.

"Ahsan, stop at the intersection in front!"

"Yes, Brother B."

Li Aijun asked, "Comrade Ye, where does your uncle live, let your uncle drive you?" ”

"Kwun Tong." I have been to Hong Kong several times in my previous life, and Ye Tian is very clear about the division of the area here, and deliberately said the opposite of the New Territories.

The bald man frowned and said: "Kwun Tong is different from ours, so Tin Tsai will get off in front, find a place to live first, take the bus to Kowloon tomorrow, and then take the subway directly to Kwun Tong!" ”

Ye Tian nodded in agreement, he couldn't wait to get out of the car quickly.
