"Can't go? Why? Zhao Guoqing was stunned for a moment, and looked at Song Qiong with some puzzlement.

Song Qiong patted his head, he didn't know how to explain to Zhao Guoqing.

He knew very well that there was no big estuary ahead, and the border guards and a large number of militiamen who got the news were already in full position, and they could not rush through, and it would be very dangerous to go.

"National Day, listen to me, we won't go to Lungang." Song Qiong looked at Zhao Guoqing and said seriously.

"There's nothing big about the estuary, that's a rumor."

"I also said that it's okay, I've come here, and there is the boundary river in front of me, how can I not go? This is a rare opportunity, Lingang Dafang estuary, Lungang in order to celebrate the queen's accession to the throne, will give us Lungang account, miss this time, there will be a chance in the future? ”

Zhao Guoqing grabbed Song Qiong's arm, shook it violently, and shouted a little angrily.

Song Qiong shook his head: "Don't listen to those gossip, what kind of big release is impossible, it's not the first time that such news has appeared, when did it really happen?" ”

"Queen Elizabeth has been on the throne for a long time, and her enthronement commemoration is held every year, when has this been done? What's more, her ascension to the throne is not on May 6, but on June 2......"

"Y-you, how do you know it's fake?" Zhao Guoqing shook his head, unwilling to believe it.

"I heard the cadres of the Commune say this...... I was also a little suspicious before, but I was in a coma just now, but it made me think clearly, all this is not logical, it is all fake......" Song Qiong hurriedly explained, but it was not convincing.

But he knew very well that all this was indeed fake, and that there would still be a large number of heavily armed border guards and militiamen in front of them to surround and intercept them, so that many people had to choose to swim from the sea to the other side.

However, the sea is full of dangers, encountering wind and waves, undercurrents, bloodthirsty sharks, and even soaking in the sea for a long time, will kill people, in his previous life, he almost died in the belly of a shark, who knows if there is such good luck this time.

What's more, it is not a few years ago, at that time, Lungang was still very welcoming to people from the mainland, and later began to strictly control the border.

Song Qiong once saw with his own eyes that someone with a watermelon on his head swam from the water to Lungang. The people of Lungang took sharp iron thorns and pierced watermelons on the seashore, and each thorn was red.

It's blood, not watermelon juice, that's red.

The road to escape from Hong Kong has always been bloody and tearful.

The safest thing to do is to give up fleeing Hong Kong and turn back immediately.

Although Lungang is very good now, and they have all made a name for themselves in Lungang in their previous lives, he knows that the mainland is about to start reform and opening up, and there will also be many opportunities.

He didn't need to take risks, and he didn't want to watch Zhao Guoqing take risks.

Song Qiong looked at Zhao Guoqing, Zhao Guoqing also looked at him, then shook his head, and said in a condensed voice: "Song Qiong, even if it's fake, we have to swim to the other side, this is what you said." ”

"This kind of saying, this kind of saying that I can only drink two meals of gruel a day, and there are not a few grains of rice in the bowl, I don't want to spend a day. I'm going to the other side, I'm going to eat meat, I'm going to eat dry rice. ”

Zhao Guoqing shook his head violently and said loudly.

"Have you forgotten? That's our dream, eat your stomach and don't go hungry. ”

"If you go a little further, you can achieve it, do you want to give up?"

"You're going to give up?"

"National Day—"

Song Qiong's heart shrank suddenly, and the tide of heart-rending pain drowned him like a flood.

Zhao Guoqing's words reminded him of those words in his previous life, with the simplest dreams, full of vitality, but ignorant and ignorant. In the end, it was ruthlessly drowned by the tide of the big time.

He took two steps forward, trying to catch Zhao Guoqing.

Zhao Guoqing took a few steps back one after another, but instead widened the distance between the two people.

"You're going to give up?" Zhao Guoqing looked at him coldly.

"If you give up, I won't give up."

"Are you going?"

"If you don't go, I'll go alone!"

"I want to eat well, not go hungry."

Song Qiong was anxious, he knew that what Zhao Guoqing said was not wrong, but he knew that in the future, on the eve of reform and opening up, he might be able to enter Lungang more conveniently and safely in the future, and it was not worth taking the risk now: "Guoqing, you have to believe me, you can't escape." ”

"Now that the Gang of Four has been destroyed, the country will reform and open up, there will be meat, there will be rice, there is no need to risk your life and flee to the other side."

"Fart, I think you're evil!"

Zhao Guoqing rushed up and slapped Song Qiong's face: "You wake me up, I listened to these words when I was a child, until I grew so old...... When have you eaten enough? Let's go to Lun Harbor together, and we go to eat meat together. ”

"National Day, listen to me, there will be dead people ahead-"

"Even if I'm dead, don't come back, don't even the ashes float back!"

Song Qiong wanted to catch Zhao Guoqing, Zhao Guoqing wanted to break free, the two scuffled together, quarreled while fighting, and no one could convince anyone.

Song Qiong was actually a little hesitant, Zhao Guoqing did so well in Lungang in his previous life, he went to Lungang, maybe it was a good choice, he didn't have to stop Zhao Guoqing from escaping Hong Kong, but this time it was definitely not good, he couldn't let him run to the front of the Jiehe, it was too dangerous.

Song Qiong wanted to hold Zhao Guoqing, and Zhao Guoqing wanted to break away. After scuffling for a while, Zhao Guoqing violently pushed Song Qiong away, turned around and ran a few steps to the road, only to stop and yell at Song Qiong: "You don't go, I'll go!" ”

Song Qiong looked at Zhao Guoqing, his body couldn't help but tremble violently, he really wanted to leave Zhao Guoqing behind, but Zhao Guoqing's idea of escaping Hong Kong was extremely strong, and he couldn't think of a good way for a while.

But he had to stop, at least let Zhao Guoqing not rush to the pass so quickly and avoid that stray bullet.

He took a deep breath, and said to Zhao Guoqing in an almost pleading tone: "Guoqing, since you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?" If the mouth of the river is really wide open ahead, let us enter the port of London freely, and I will go with you. ”

"If the pass ahead is not opened, but a large number of troops intercept it, indicating that the rumors are false, you will go back with me, how about it?"

Zhao Guoqing hesitated, but still shook his head: "I said, even if there is a blockage, even if you swim in the sea, you have to swim over." ”

Song Qiong shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "If the rumors are false, there is no need to rush, right?" When you come back, within three days, I will make you a hundred dollars and eat meat, and if I do it, you will stay; If I can't do it, I'll go to Lungang with you, okay? ”

Seeing that Zhao Guoqing didn't think so, he was about to speak, but Song Qiong hurriedly said: "Guoqing, we have been friends for so long, will I lie to you?" You'll just trust me once, okay? ”

Zhao Guoqing's face softened a little, but he finally shook his head: "Ah Qiong, we are good friends, whether you go to Lungang or not, we are all good friends, good friends who live and die together." ”

"However, I must go to Lungang, I want to eat meat, I want A-Niang to eat meat too."

"Here, even if you can really earn a hundred yuan, where can you buy meat?"

"National Day—"

Song Qiong shouted, but Zhao Guoqing's attitude was still very resolute.

"Tutu Tu Tu Tu—"

There was a rush of sounds, from far to near, a walk-behind tractor rushed from the machine plowing road, slammed the brakes on the side of the road, and a middle-aged man in his forties jumped from the car, rushed to the road in a few steps, grabbed a young man, and at the same time raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone from Nanshan Village will go back with me!" ”

Around the young man, a group of people stopped and looked at the middle-aged man with confused eyes.

"No, we're not going back."

The young man who was grabbed by the man suddenly began to struggle: "Will you give me food when you go back?" ”

"You let me go, why did you arrest me, your son has run away to Lungang, why don't you let him come back? Your son-in-law is right in front, why don't you arrest her? ”

"Your wife has run away with people, you don't arrest us, you still want to arrest us?"

The young man broke free from the man's restraints, ran back into the crowd fleeing Hong Kong, and waved his arm angrily: "Let's go!" ”

The man froze there, watching them leave, his eyes glazed over, and he didn't stop them.

Gradually, he crouched on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and let out a low whimper.

Song Qiong looked at this scene, feeling sorry in his heart, he looked up at Zhao Guoqing who was about to turn around, knowing that he had no way to make him change his mind, when he was desperate, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind, and he stomped his feet violently and said: "National Day, you come with me, I know a place where you can escape." ”

Zhao Guoqing shook his head, not believing what Song Qiong said at all: "The mouth of the river is ...... in front."

Zhao Guoqing turned his head and just spoke, when a series of crisp sounds of "crackling" suddenly sounded in front of him, and then, the black crowd in front of the Jiehe River suddenly scratched, crying and grabbing the ground.

Dafang Estuary –

Apparently it can't be!

"Be careful!"

Song Qiong suddenly felt a sense of horror, and rushed over and threw Zhao Guoqing to the ground.

A stray bullet grazed Zhao Guoqing's cheek and splashed a puddle of dirt.

As the sun sets, the sky is red.

The desolate wilderness, the artemisia grass swaying in the wind, and the crowd of wolves rushing to the dolphins are all dyed with a red halo.

The sudden change plunged the tens of thousands of people who had gathered in front of the Jiehe River in an instant despair, some crying, some screaming, and some blindly throwing themselves into the barbed wire......

Zhao Guoqing, who had escaped death, stared at all this blankly, the bullet grazed his cheek, cold, stretched out his hand to touch it, and the red of one hand was bloody, making his heart beat wildly, and he was afraid.

He suddenly jumped up, turned around and threw himself in the direction of the boundary river, like madness, and let out a desperate cry: "I'm going to Lungang, I don't want to die, I haven't eaten braised pork yet-"

Song Qiong threw Zhao Guoqing to the ground: "You can't go, not this time, next time, next time we still have a chance." ”

"No, there's no chance, there's no chance, I'm going, I'm going!"

Song Qiong dragged Zhao Guoqing to death, suddenly remembered something, and shouted in his ear: "You can't go ahead, you follow me, let's go around from somewhere else." ”

Zhao Guoqing was stunned and turned his head suddenly: "Are you serious?" ”

"Really."

Song Qiong nodded vigorously, there was no way to stop it, he had to find a way to send Zhao Guoqing safely across the boundary river.

"Okay, if you lie to me, I'll come back." Zhao Guoqing spoke, and quickly got up from the ground, he only had one thought in his heart - to escape, to escape, even if he died, he had to eat a full meal!

Song Qiong glanced back at the sky, the time when the tragedy happened was at night, and it should be too late.

He led Zhao Guoqing along the path parallel to the Jiehe River, one foot deeper, one foot shallow, running wildly all the way, gradually moving away from the estuary and away from the chaotic crowd, but he could still vaguely hear various sounds tangled together in the distance.

"This is it!"

Song Qiong stopped abruptly and turned his head to look around.

In his previous life, when he attended the gathering of the escapees, he had known a few "five or six" escapees, who, after being expelled in front of the Boundary River, ran along the Boundary River, and occasionally found a weak gap, and successfully escaped across the Boundary River to reach Lun Harbor.

Song Qiong heard them talk about the gap: not far from the mouth of the river, the boundary river turned a corner, there was a boundary monument, a small earthen bag, and there were three big banyan trees next to the small earthen bag, and on each banyan tree, there was a bird's nest......

Not far in front of them, there was a small earthen bag overgrown with artemisia grass, and in front of the small earthen bag were three large banyan trees, standing alone in the wilderness, very eye-catching.

Song Qiong hurriedly leaned down, took advantage of the cover of half-human-high grass, sneaked to the edge of the boundary river, and soon found a very small one on the barbed wire fence by the river, which could only allow one person to pass through the breach at most.

It can be seen from the breach that this breach should have just been opened, and I don't know who it is, taking advantage of the opportunity of tens of thousands of people gathered at the mouth of the river and other places with weak defenses, they broke out of the hole from this side.

"National Day, hurry, there's a hole here, if you want to leave, you can't get over if you're discovered." Song Qiong turned around and pulled Zhao Guoqing to the hole.

Seeing that hole, Zhao Guoqing's thin body couldn't help but tremble, and cried with joy: "I, can I really go?" ”

"Ah Qiong, let's go together."

Song Qiong shook his head and pushed him: "I'm not going, you go quickly, I still have something to do." ”

Zhao Guoqing was a little reluctant, but he also knew that the opportunity was fleeting and he couldn't waste time. He wiped his face violently: "Okay, Ah Qiong, you saved my life and gave me a second life, my life is yours, you wait, wait until I make money in Lungang, buy meat and we will eat it together-"

"Don't be verbose, go!" Song Qiong pushed Zhao Guoqing to the hole.

Zhao Guoqing gritted his teeth, glanced back, his face suddenly became extremely resolute, he quickly unloaded the package on his body, and lowered his head into the hole.

The entrance to the cave is very small, but Zhao Guoqing's figure is also very thin, he quickly got to the side of the barbed wire, Song Qiong immediately stuffed the package over, and admonished: "Don't delay, go quickly, be careful on the road." ”

"Well, take care."

This time, Zhao Guoqing did not hesitate, turned around and was about to leave, before leaving, he suddenly turned around and asked: "Ah Qiong, how do you know that there is a hole in this?" ”

"I heard it when I was unconscious, do you believe it or not?" Song Qiongdao.

"I believe it!" Zhao Guoqing grinned, turned around and slid down the embankment.

"When I got over there, I was bolder, and I went directly to Li Chaoren, the richest man in London and Hong Kong, and recommended myself to be his gardener and soak his daughter-" Song Qiong suddenly blessed his heart, for fear that he would change the trajectory of Zhao Guoqing's life after he fled Hong Kong, so he couldn't help but remind him.

In his previous life, after Zhao Guoqing fled to Lungang with injuries, he was in a desperate situation, he directly found Li Chaoren, the richest man in Lungang at that time, and recommended himself to the Li family as a gardener, and later hooked up with the daughter of the Li family, Li Chaoren's youngest daughter, and became the Li family's fast son-in-law.

What's even more legendary is that he didn't enjoy it, but started his own business, hit a piece of the sky in London Harbor, and even won the reputation of "Little Superman".

More than ten years later, Song Qiong met him, and it was with his great help that he was able to rise rapidly.

Subsequently, the two supported each other, continued the friendship of sharing adversity and hardship, and joined hands to snipe international speculators and domestic speculators, and never gave up.

Zhao Guoqing slid down the river embankment into the water, and the cold river water made him tremble, making him choke back what he was about to say, and at the same time he was a little puzzled: "Soaking? What is the meaning? ”

However, he had already taken Song Qiong's words to heart.

His life was saved by Song Qiong; The opportunity to escape from Hong Kong was also given by Song Qiong; Whatever Song Qiong says, he just does it, even if he doesn't understand it, it feels incredible.

Song Qiong was lying by the Jiehe River, and he could no longer hear Zhao Guoqing's voice, so he could only silently bless in his heart, hoping that Zhao Guoqing would have a smooth journey, and he could become Li Chaoren's son-in-law and a legend of the escapees from Hong Kong like in his previous life.

Song Qiong glanced back at the sky again, the sunset had gradually faded, and the time was closer to the tragedy, and he had to hurry up.

He turned around and was about to leave, just retreated to the big banyan tree in front of the small earthen bag, but heard someone running towards this side, he went around to the back of the small earthen bag, but he didn't expect those people to also run here, the two sides looked at each other, and they were slightly stunned.

Song Qiong immediately recognized that these two people were the people who told him in his previous life, drilled through that hole, and successfully escaped from Hong Kong.

Now they are still very young, about the same as Zhao Guoqing, in their early twenties, they look tired, sweating profusely and panting.

When they saw Song Qiong's appearance clearly, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and looked behind them with palpitations: "Oh, oh my god, I finally got rid of it, and those militiamen chased so far." ”

Song Qiong didn't know how they found that hole in their previous life, and he didn't know if it would change if he bumped into him here, so he had the heart to help them, and immediately stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the boundary river: "There is a hole over there, if you want to go, hurry up." ”

After saying this, Song Qiong didn't delay any longer, turned around and disappeared into the artemisia grass, and ran away, leaving two stunned escapees, looking at each other.

Although they doubted the real surname of what Song Qiong said, if there was really a hole, why didn't he run away, but left? But the strong urge to flee Hong Kong still made them go to take a look, and it turned out that there was a hole there. Without saying a word, he immediately drilled through the hole and crossed the river to Lun Harbor.

A few years later, when they met Song Qiong again, they were grateful for Song Qiong's guidance, thinking that without Song Qiong, they would have no way to escape to Lungang, which was a great kindness.
