Chapter 149: Saving the Wrong Person
Ao Tang and Mi Lu stand on the embankment of the Jiehe River, which spans a 111-meter-long bridge connecting China and Vietnam, known as the "Friendship Bridge". Of course, the friendship between countries cannot stand the test, and the real link is interests, and this bridge has indeed brought benefits to both sides of the strait, and the border trade volume has increased year by year, and the small cities on both sides of the strait have also developed quite prosperously.
The bridge is quite long, but the river surface of this section is actually not wide, the narrowest point is only thirty or forty meters, not to mention Ao Tang, even Milu can swim over by itself. Of course, at this moment, there are people on the shore, and there are also fishing boats and fishermen in the river.
was about to go back to Mong Cai for a stroll, when a person walked over in the distance and asked in a low voice: "Boss, you want to go to the opposite side, China is a tour, including pick-up, no risk, only 800,000 for two people." ”
He speaks Vietnamese, and the currency unit is the Vietnamese dong, which is equivalent to less than 400 yuan. Ao Tang and Mi Lu didn't understand at all, but when they saw him pointing to the other side when he spoke, they understood that this was a smuggler.
The last time I crossed the border between China and Myanmar, I heard Wang Meng say something about border smuggling, these people who engage in smuggling are the most untrustworthy, just start to be good, and when the smuggling passes, they will show their murderous faces, add money! No money? Hmph, then it is called a fine for border arrests, which is quite light, in some particularly chaotic places, the police and bandits collude, colluded, and directly planted you with crimes such as smuggling and drug trafficking, intimidation, extortion, extortion, and even life danger.
Ao Tang and Mi Lu looked at each other and smiled, ignored the man at all, turned around and left. The Vietnamese didn't give up, and they pricked up a few more words, and Ao Tang was a little bored and glared at him fiercely. Although he is not as able to kill people with his eyes as in a fantasy novel written by Lao Hong, Ao Tang, as the dragon king, has sufficient energy, his eyes are like electricity, and he has his own majesty.
Ao Tang snorted, and while walking with Mi Lu, he said: "When I came here just now, I saw Chinese posters on the street, what kind of tea ancient beach is there on Mong Street, or let's go play?" "Last time I went to Wisan Beach, I was confronted by American agents that night, and I didn't really enjoy beach life at all.
Although it was already about ten meters away, the Vietnamese man happened to be a deaf and clear-sighted person, and when he heard Ao Tang's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, as a Sino-Vietnamese border person, of course, Chinese is a necessary skill, and he immediately understood that this young man and woman were Chinese. No wonder they were ignored just now, these two Chinese may not understand Vietnamese at all, but they don't know that they came from the regular channel? Or was it smuggled over?
If it were usual, this Vietnamese would not think much about it, because there are too many Chinese here in Mong Cai, although there are many people who want to save trouble and smuggle a day to travel, and more of them enter and exit through formal channels. However, the situation in the past few days has been somewhat special; since the Poison Spider-class missile boat attacked Singapore on the night of August 8, Vietnam has entered a state of emergency, and the entry and exit of border checkpoints has suddenly been raised to the strictest level, and there are no one-tenth of the usual Chinese on the streets.
As far as Vietnam is concerned, although it is Singapore and Malaysia that are in conflict, Vietnam is more wary of China, for fear that China will take advantage of the chaos and send spies to fan the flames. This kind of thinking is not only shared by Vietnamese officials, but also by the Vietnamese people, who have a deep-seated wariness of their northern neighbors.
Thinking of the chilling eyes of that young man, the Vietnamese couldn't help but wonder, could it be a Chinese agent? In the eyes of the Vietnamese, Chinese agents are naturally evil, cruel, and powerful, and I think that only this kind of person will have eyes full of murderous intent, right? Don't look at this Vietnamese as just a smuggler, but there are also patriots among the bad guys, and after thinking about it, he immediately rushed to the Vietnamese border post.
Chagu Beach is not far away, and there is no need for the car that originally drove over, Ao Tang called an old van and sold it for 100 dollars, and the owner of the car was immediately full of joy, and while driving, he spoke enthusiastically, wanting to recommend himself to two Chinese tourists as tour guides. Unlike the previous snakehead, this car owner is not vigilant.
"This asphalt road was newly built this year, and you Chinese helped build it, and China and Vietnam are friendly hahaha."
"The church over there is an important historical relic left over from the French colonial period, and even the Vatican attaches great importance to this church."
"There's a golf course over there...... Oh, it's a good place to go, but you don't need it, sir, haha......"
Ao Tang smiled meaninglessly, and Mi Lu snorted lightly, because the owner of the car was referring to rows of simple sheds, some of which were closed, some were open, and there were stumbling women standing one by one, and I don't know if this profession is also called "stumbling women" in Vietnam?
It seems to be disgusted by the red light district, Mi Lu suddenly lost the interest in visiting, not to mention that this beach is empty, and there is really nothing to see, send away the overly enthusiastic car owners, Mi Lu said: "Instead of spending time here and waiting for the night, let's just get a boat and go?" ”
Mong Cai is only separated from China by a river, and Chagu Beach is only separated from China by an estuary, even if it is just an ordinary fishing boat, it will not take long.
"Okay." Ao Tang didn't say a word, and pulled Milu towards a few fishing boats moored on the beach, "Charter a boat, we can row by ourselves, don't be accompanied." ”
The Vietnamese fisherman hurriedly shook his hand: "No...... Dangerous...... Left...... Lost ......"
This fisherman's Chinese is not good, and he can only say a few key words, but it is enough for Ao Tang to understand the meaning, and the danger or something is just an excuse, nothing more than worrying that the boat will be driven away.
Ao Tang took the bag from Mi Lu's hand, opened the zipper, and the colorful tickets inside suddenly made the Vietnamese fishermen's breathing heavy.
"Boat, give it to me; Money, to you. ”
"All?"
The Vietnamese were dumbfounded, tremblingly took the bag, and counted it slightly, and it was enough to have twenty or thirty thousand dollars! And his ships are all cheap offshore wooden boats, they don't even have power, and the unit price when they are brand new is less than 10,000 yuan, and now they are in tatters, and they are even more worthless.
Ao Tang smiled, didn't say much, pulled up Milu and got on a boat, untied the rope, propped up the penny, and went out to sea from the shore, the fisherman was still holding the bag, as if falling into a dream.
Mi Lu smiled and said, "Ao Tang, you are generous, now we are penniless again." ”
Ao Tang said: "The money that was robbed, of course, there is nothing to cherish, take it from the Vietnamese, use it for the Vietnamese, as for returning to the country, it is better to rob the rich and help the poor." ”
Now that their ID cards and bank cards are gone, they can't withdraw money for a while, and if they don't want to starve to death, they have to rob the rich and help the poor.
"You can't just grab it in China, in case you rob a good person, there is a psychological burden."
Just like the original owner of these two or three hundred thousand dollars, Ao Tang and Mi Lu deduced that it was a grassroots corrupt official in Vietnam, but that was just speculation, maybe people also earned it by their skills. But that's a Vietnamese, not a compatriot from his country, so he cares so much, even if he robs the wrong person, Ao Tang won't care, not to mention that the person has a passbook of more than one million dollars in the safe, and taking away a mere twenty or thirty thousand cash is nothing.
As for the country, Ao Tang said with a smile: "This is easy to solve, as long as you don't rob civilians and target officials, there are always more corrupt officials than clean officials......
Mi Lu glanced at him, she is also an official in her family, although she is an officer.
Not long after leaving the shore, there was a sudden sound behind him, and a police speedboat appeared.
"Vietnam Coast Guard? He chased after us, huh. ”
Ao Tang sank his face, he would not attack civilians, but he would not be soft-hearted when dealing with the military and police of the enemy country, but there were some fishing boats scattered in the surrounding waters, and it was not good to kill blatantly. Ao Tang looked around, grinned, and had an idea.
This is the Beibu Gulf area of the South China Sea, since it is the sea, of course, there are fish, including whales, and in recent years, there have been several news of whale stranding in the Beibu Gulf.
At this time, there is a fin whale activity in the southeast direction, the fin whale is also a large whale, the largest can grow to 256 meters, 70 tons, although the southeast direction is not so big, there are also 13 or 4 meters.
The maximum speed of the fin whale can reach 40 kilometers per hour, and Ao Tang deters the past, although it is not as like an arm command of the dotted aquarium, but it can still forcibly drive the fin whale to rush at full speed, calculate the direction and timing, and hit the police speedboat fiercely. The Vietnamese marine police shouted, but the police speedboat was just a light boat, how could it withstand the full force of a large whale, and it suddenly turned the sky upside down.
The surrounding fishing boats saw the accident, and in line with the tradition of sea rescue, they rushed to come, Ao Tang snorted and said, "Cheap those marine police, let's go." ”
Mi Lu also retracted his gaze and wondered: "Why are the Vietnamese marine police chasing us?" Could it be that we were caught robbing cars all the way in Vietnam? Do you know that we have wiped out a large number of Vietnamese officers and soldiers? Well, no, if they really knew, they would definitely send military planes and warships to chase and kill us, not just a few coast guards. ”
Ao Tang nodded and said, "Maybe it's just that the last car we robbed last night was discovered, thinking we were car thieves." Oh, if the Vietnamese police had asked the previous owner of the van and knew that we were Chinese, would they have reported it to the Chinese police on the other side? ”
Chinese and Vietnamese police join forces to arrest Chinese car thieves? Ao Tang thought about it, if the Chinese police participated in the pursuit, it would be a troublesome matter, after all, everyone is Chinese, it is not easy to be ruthless.
"Well, let's not go to Anping, go northeast, and go ashore in Xiangjun."
Anping is a border port between China and Vietnam, and the police of the two countries often cooperate, but in other cities, it is not a major transnational case, who will bird the Vietnamese police?
The fishing boat slowly sailed to the northeast, Ao Tang rowed the oars, and secretly used the dragon king's ability to push the waves, not far from the Chagu Beach, it was already considered to be in the Chinese seas, and when the sun set, it was already close to the sea area of Xiangjun City, at this time, there was a sudden cry for help in front.
Ao Tang hurriedly looked and saw a large cargo ship, I don't know if it was a fault or an accident, the bow of the ship had tilted and was about to sink. There were five crew members on the freighter, gathered at the stern, holding their duffel bags, shouting for help.
"Oops, hurry up and save someone."
Ao Tang increased the range of his oars, and rushed over with a clatter, directly approaching the freighter. The five crew members jumped on the fishing boat, and a middle-aged man led by him looked at the freighter that could not be saved, lamented a few times, and thanked Ao Tang: "Brother, thank you very much, otherwise, alas...... Oh, I'm Cheng Hai, the manager of Jiaozhou Shipping Co., Ltd., brother, what is your surname? Thank you so much this time! ”
"Oh, don't have your surname Ao. No thanks, rescue at sea is a matter of course, I see that you have a lot of things on your cargo ship, have you called the police? Maybe there's still time to salvage something. ”
"Brother Ao, this, our mobile phone is soaked in water, it's not easy to use, you can borrow my mobile phone to call."
Ao Tang blinked, including this manager Cheng, there won't be five people's mobile phones soaked in water, right? Is it just to save a dollar or two on the mobile phone bill? The other party's words were a little dishonest, and Ao Tang was a little displeased in his heart, but he just thought about the sinking of their ship and the loss of goods, and he didn't bother to care. However, there is no mobile phone Ao Tang, and the Vietnamese mobile phone that I grabbed before has long been thrown away.
"Ah, I'm sorry, my girlfriend and I went to the sea to play, and we almost ran into an accident on the way, and our phones fell into the sea."
"Oh, that's it, that'...... Xiao Zhang, wipe your phone dry and see if it can still be used? Oh, it works, that's great. Cheng Hai took Xiao Zhang's mobile phone and started calling......
It's not a foreign language, it's just that there are many Chinese dialects, and there are big differences, and Cheng Hai doesn't know where the dialect is, Ao Tang and Mi Lu didn't understand it.
"Ah, by the way......" Cheng Hai changed into Mandarin and asked: "Brother Ao, I'm reporting to our boss, we are Jiaozhou Shipping, it's a big company, it's very formal, what about this, I have to write a detailed report when I go back, why is it sinking?" How did you get back? Ah, this, what is your fishing boat number? You have a great kindness to us, I can't just write about a fishing boat, right? When we look back, our boss will also come to the door in person to thank you, well, thank you! ”
The domestic management is formal, and the fishing boats are numbered, such as the fishing boat in Xiangjun City, Guining Province, which is "Guixiang Fishing XXXXX". But the Ao Tang is Vietnamese, and the more backward the place, the more chaotic the management, the big fishing boats are fine, but the small fishing boats can't manage them at all, like this one, there is no number.
"What? No number! I said Brother Ao, how is this possible? Cheng Hai and his others walked in circles along the side of the boat, looking at each other, but there was really nothing.
Cheng Hai muttered in his heart, and said with a smile: "Ah, Brother Ao, well, and this beauty, where are you from?" What are you doing? Oh, this our boss said that we must thank you, you must not be a live Lei Feng, leave the contact information, address, and thank you again, we are very strong in Jiaozhou Shipping, and we will thank you again. ”
Ao Tang frowned slightly, and Mi Lu also quietly poked Ao Tang, both of them felt that something was wrong, and kept getting to the bottom of it, was it really to thank you? can look at the behavior of Cheng Hai and others, they really don't look like sincere people.
What does it mean to be sincere? It's really sincere, we saved the five of you up, you can't sit on the boat and be the uncle, so you can help row with wooden oars. There are still four empty wooden oars, let's make more efforts and go back to the shore early, don't you see that it is all dark?
Ao Tang patted Mi Lu's hand and began to talk nonsense with Cheng Hai: "Oh, we, people from Yangcheng, Guangnan Province, are here to play...... It's just ...... ordinary student."
"Oh, hey, Brother Ao, you are modest, I see that you have an extraordinary appearance, an elegant temperament, and you are obviously a rich family."
"Hehehe, do some small business at home, it's not as rich as your Jiaozhou shipping business."
"It's good to do business...... You ship? Cheng Hai went around again.
"Heck, this ship isn't ours either. Originally, I rented a yacht to go out to play, but I didn't know that it was just like you, the shipwreck. Fortunately, I came across a few Vietnamese fishing boats, so I bought them a garbage boat temporarily, and alas, I was slaughtered by Vietnamese monkeys. Unfortunately, on the way back, the bag fell into the sea. ”
"Oops......"
The two sides chattered for a while, and gradually, the fishing boat approached the simple dock in a small seaside town below the city of Xiangjun. This is also why Ao Tang deliberately did not choose to go to Xiangjun Port, because to go to Dagang, you have to go through the entry procedures. Although it can be claimed that the document is lost, it is a bit troublesome after all.
As soon as he stepped ashore, Ao Tang was impatient and Cheng Hai and the five people were about to turn around and leave, but Cheng Hai grabbed him, and the other four people scattered and faintly surrounded him.
"Brother Ao, you can't go, we haven't thanked you yet, you are gone, what if I can't find you?"
"I'm sorry, I still have something to do." Ao Tang lowered his face coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he had already thrown off Cheng Hai's arm.
"Yo, he's pretty strong." Cheng Hai also showed his true face, "The surname Ao, you hit and sank our ship, the ship plus the cargo, 4.5 million, if you don't pay compensation, don't want to leave!" Xiao Zhang, call the police! Xiao Li, Xiao Wang, Xiao Liu, stop people. ”
Ao Tang was dumbfounded, no matter what you say, I saved you, and you actually accused me of sinking your cargo ship? Blackmail me for 4.5 million? Is there still a conscience? If you are framed for acting bravely, who will dare to act bravely in the future? In the past few years, there have been many news about helping an old lady on land and being framed, and the concept of mutual assistance and mutual help between people on land has been greatly destroyed, is it now the turn of the ocean? The situation at sea is special, and if mutual aid and mutual rescue at sea are also broken, how many more people will die every year?
Ao Tang couldn't help but tremble a little, in Cheng Hai's eyes, this was a young man who was scared, but Mi Lu knew that Ao Tang was really angry and trembling with anger! She looked at Cheng Hai and the others as if she were looking at a dead person.
