Saturday, 5pm, Hong Kong Island Border Checkpoint.

"Stop for inspection, the driver turns off and gets out of the car!"

The truck stopped at the gate of the checkpoint, and five or six soldiers surrounded it.

These people are really from the army, and they all have a pole and a bayonet on them, but there is no so-called fake bullet.

"Isn't Captain He here?"

Mai Cheng hurriedly got out of the car and pulled the soldier to ask.

The soldier replied, "Captain He has something to do at night, so he has taken over to Captain Bai in advance, so he should leave." ”

"Gone?"

Mai Cheng chuckled in his heart, Captain He was their own person, and they got along quite well.

Captain Bai, they haven't made a confession, who knows if they will buy it.

"What's on it?"

"Vegetables and fruits, there is no contraband."

Mai Cheng replied as he probed his head into the checkpoint.

In my eyes, a fat man with a briefcase was pushing the door and coming out of it, not who Captain He was.

"Captain He, Captain He!"

Seeing Captain He, Mai Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly trotted up to meet him.

"It's you kid, and you're sending vegetables to Hong Kong Island?"

Captain He stopped and glanced at the truck that Mai Cheng was driving.

Mai Cheng nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, it's all vegetables and fruits, everyone is their own person, don't check it!" ”

Captain He's face showed embarrassment, and he said: "It's unfortunate that you came today, my mother has a birthday, I have to go back early, I have already handed over the shift to Captain Bai, they are all Captain Bai's people, don't listen to my orders!" ”

"Huh?"

Mai Chengleng paused, there were more than a dozen smugglers in the car, how could he not help but check.

For a while, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and couldn't help but beg: "Captain He, you can help me more, I brought you two good cigarettes in the car." ”

Mai Cheng trotted to the cab, took out two Marlboros from under the seat, and put them in Captain He's hand without saying anything: "You help, we will definitely not let you do it in vain." ”

"How can you help?"

Captain He took the cigarette and said with an embarrassed face: "You can't give the money to the next shift, right?" ”

What Mai Cheng and these people do, Captain He has heard of it.

It's easy for him to turn a blind eye, just pay the toll every time, 30,000 Hong Kong dollars at a time.

But he has already handed over his shift, and now it is Captain Bai who is in charge.

That guy wasn't as good a talker as he was, and he didn't want to fall in favor if it wasn't necessary.

"Captain He, we are old friends, you can't die without help!"

Mai Cheng took off the watch in his hand, stuffed it to Captain He with a red envelope of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and whispered, "Help, give the money to the next shift." ”

"You, it's really hard for me to do, my mother's birthday, you just send me away with this broken watch?"

Captain He put the watch on his hand, stuffed the money into his pocket, and still didn't make any movement.

Mai Cheng knew at a glance that this guy was too little.

Gritting his teeth, he took off the gold ring on his hand and put it on Captain He's hand: "Excuse me, you don't want to watch me die, do you?" ”

Captain He snorted coldly, wiped the gold ring, and turned around and entered the checkpoint.

Mai Cheng looked back and saw that the cargo box had been opened, and Brother Bing was carrying the cardboard box containing vegetables down.

If this continues, it will not take more than ten minutes for the cardboard boxes outside to be moved, and the stowaways hiding inside will be exposed.

"A few big brothers are smoking, Captain He has already gone to Captain Bai, we are all friends, you can save some effort."

Mai Cheng hurriedly went up to scatter cigarettes, hoping that these people would move slowly.

As soon as everyone heard this, they looked at the checkpoint, and the movements of their hands slowed down a little.

After a few minutes of stalemate, Captain He came out with Captain Bai.

It seemed that Captain Bai was quite satisfied, and as soon as he came out, he said in an official tone: "Okay, let them go, no need to check!" ”

"Thank you, Captain Bai, thank you, Captain He."

Mai Cheng rubbed his hands and hurriedly carried the vegetable box back to the car.

After a busy moment, the truck set off again, passing through a checkpoint separated by a railing.

Call!!

As soon as the checkpoint passed, Mai Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and knocked on the window behind him, and said, "It was really dangerous just now, you were almost arrested and imprisoned." ”

The cardboard box blocked in the window was removed, and Lin Yao pushed open the window leading to the cab of the carriage and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't mention it, the fat pig He actually handed over the shift ahead of schedule, in order to make him accommodating, I took the newly bought watch and gold ring, this group of people is really fucking greedy!"

On weekdays, nearly half of the ticket fee for each smuggling has to be handed over to Captain He.

If something goes wrong, this old boy has to push four, five or six, eat and take cards, it's really not a thing.

Mai Cheng sometimes thinks about when he stopped doing this business and reported all these captains.

Of course, that is, to think about it.

It's not their family that eats this bowl of rice, if anyone dares to cut off the way to wealth, I'm sure someone will kill you.

They're just making a fuss.

It is said that some big people can use white strips as a pass to smuggle tens of thousands of TVs at a time, and those are the real big guys.

At night, the truck drove into an abandoned factory in Yuen Long.

Lin Yao and his entourage got off here, and here he saw Brother Guang in Mai Cheng's mouth, a middle-aged man in his thirties, dark and fat.

"Brother Guang!"

Mai Cheng nodded and said hello, and went up to give the boss a cigarette.

Brother Guang waved his hand and asked, "It's going well, right?" ”

"Something went wrong."

Mai Cheng said that when he talked about Captain He, he looked at the gritted teeth, and he couldn't wait to smash the glass of his house at night.

Brother Guang was also very angry, but he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke Captain He, so he replied cowardly: "Your loss is recorded in the company's account, and we will settle accounts with this fat pig again when we have the opportunity in the future." ”

"Thank you, Brother Guang."

Mai Cheng smiled, and then beckoned Lin Yao and the others: "Get out of the car, stay here overnight, and you can leave tomorrow morning." By the way, Li Changjiang, you kid got on the bus first and then bought a ticket, and now that you're on Hong Kong Island, you call your uncle immediately and ask him to pick you up! ”

Unlike others, Li Changjiang did not buy tickets.

He told the ticket seller that he would only get the money out when he arrived on Hong Kong Island, and he was willing to pay 8,000 yuan instead of the 5,000 yuan of the normal ticket price.

"I won't pay the bills, my uncle is very rich and a big boss, a few thousand yuan is a small matter for him."

Li Changjiang took over Brother Guang's eldest brother and dialed the number under the guidance of others.

Toot toot...

No one answered!!

When I called again, there was still a beep, and no one answered the phone for a long time.

"My uncle went to bed early, probably already asleep," Li Changjiang put down the phone and said to the others embarrassedly.

As soon as Brother Guang heard this, he snatched his eldest brother, pointed at Li Changjiang's nose and said: "You'd better not lie to me, otherwise I'll sell you to pick up customers at the duck restaurant, you handsome little guy with fine skin and tender meat, you will definitely be very sought-after inside!" ”

Li Changjiang didn't speak, just clenched his fists.

Lin Yao saw everything in his eyes, hurriedly came over to pull him away, and said: "Brother Guang is angry when he sees you, don't hide away, it angers Brother Guang, you really want to go to the duck restaurant to pick up guests!" ”

"Brother Guang, this is a new friend I know, who accidentally killed someone in his hometown and just ran to Hong Kong Island."

Mai Cheng introduced Lin Yao, and the purpose of saying this was to tell Brother Guang that this was his own person.

Brother Guang nodded, Mai Cheng was his cronie, and Lin Yao was Mai Cheng's friend, so he had a bit of face in him, so he said: "We people, who are not from our hometown if you push forward for a decade or two, since you are Ah Cheng's friend, you are our own people, and eating hot pot together at night can be regarded as giving you a pick-up." ”

Hong Kong Island in 1983 was not like the later generations that only talked about interests and did not treat righteousness, and brotherhood was just a fart.

The real affection is thinner than paper, and it is for the money, and whoever has the money is the uncle, which is the style after the nineties.

Now, everyone still retains the tradition of the older generation, and there are many people who are willing to fight for the community and die for the boss, and they are still more righteous.

So some people say that the 80s are the last years of the rivers and lakes.
