Chapter 261: The Road to Escape
"Big brother, the coast guard has been investigating very strictly in the past few days, and we have some risks on this trip, right? I heard that the big-headed sharks and the gang had a firefight with the marine police yesterday, and we are still acting today, so we will be blocked if we don't get it! ā
"Damn, how to make money without risk, we received 23,000 in cash, plus these 32 piglets, we made 100,000 in one trip. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Look at those white-collar workers, they wear straight suits, they have worked hard for a year, and they don't earn as much as we do. ā
"My eldest brother is right, I have a classmate who went to college and worked hard for ten years, and now his salary is less than 1,000 yuan. At the last class reunion, I put Big Brother out, and they were stunned for a moment, with envy in their eyes! ā
At the wine table, a few people who were drinking laughed and stopped saying anything about risk.
After all, people travel thousands of miles just for money, and for these people, if they have money, they have everything, and if they don't have money, they will die.
Anyway, it's not a big crime to help people smuggle people, as long as you don't get charged with human trafficking, it's a trivial matter of a few years if you catch it, and it's a good man to release it.
The people at the wine table were discussing, and Wu Ming and the others were not idle.
Tomorrow will be on Hong Kong Island, and everyone is excited and making fun of each other.
"Look at that girl, it's the one in red, she looks so pretty. You say, is she going to be a chicken, it's a pity that such a beautiful girl goes to be a chicken! ā
There are more than 30 piglets on the boat, and there are more than a dozen girls, one of whom is a girl in red, who is put down in the modern era, and is also at the level of a popular anchor.
The middle-aged uncle raised his head slightly, looked at the hand of the courier brother, and also showed a look of surprise, "Really, I didn't expect that among these piglets, there are such high-quality goods." Why don't we go over and talk about it, and we can win over Hong Kong Island and go and cheer her on? ā
There was not much space in the cabin, and more than thirty people sat on the ground, which also seemed a little crowded.
In the entire cabin, except for a few snake heads who occupied a table, there were a few chairs that could sit down in the corner of the wall where Wu Ming and a few people leaned, which was not so crowded.
Hearing the middle-aged uncle's words, the courier brother was also emboldened, and stood up from the chair, "I'll ask her for a contact information, you wait for me." ā
"Are you really going, aren't you afraid of being beaten?"
The courier brother walked up, and Wu Ming sat on the chairs, waiting to see his jokes.
A few minutes later, I don't know what the two sides said, the girl in red looked up and looked here, and actually followed the courier brother over.
"What's going on, it's done so quickly?"
Seeing that the courier brother brought the person back, the middle-aged uncle couldn't wait to ask.
Looking at everyone's reactions, the courier brother had a victorious smile on his face and whispered: "I told her that I can give her the place and let her sit on the chair and rest for the night, do you think I'm very powerful?" ā
"Nonsense, the ship is such a big place, you give her the chair, you have to sit on the ground, I really don't know what you're thinking." Old man Jiang had displeasure on his face, and he didn't look at the girl in red at all.
"It's okay, it's just one night anyway, I can get through it."
The courier brother was not ashamed, pointed to his chair, turned around and said, "You sit down, you are so beautiful, I will be a hero to save the beauty." ā
"Thank you..."The girl in red looked at everyone's reaction weakly with fear on her face, and bit her lip and sat down.
This morning, they, the piglets, were already on the boat.
After sitting on the floor for a day, the girl in red was already sour, and she really couldn't resist the temptation of the chair.
"What are you doing on Hong Kong Island, I see you are on the ship, and you have given these people a lot of money, did you buy a ticket?" In order to avoid embarrassment, the girl in red spoke slowly, following everyone closely.
The middle-aged uncle was also a bag, and without waiting for the courier brother to answer, he preemptively spoke: "We bought a ferry ticket and went to Hong Kong Island to make a fortune." What about you, little girl, I think you are only fifteen or sixteen years old, what are you doing on Hong Kong Island, do you have the money to buy tickets? ā
"I don't have any money, but my uncle went to Hong Kong Island three years ago, and I went to join him. My uncle gave me a part of the boat fare, and I will pay off the remaining half by part-time work, so that I will have a good life in the future. ā
The girl in red had a smile on her face, and when she said the name Hong Kong Island, there was a light of hope in her eyes.
In 1983, there was no reform and opening up during this period, although it was no longer starving, it was only on the subsistence line, and the standard of living was far from that of Hong Kong Island.
For the girl in red, Hong Kong Island is paradise, the birthplace of dreams.
From the letter written by her uncle, the girl knew that Hong Kong Island was very rich, there was a bus when she went out, and there was a place called a cafeteria, where you could eat as much food as you wanted, and the meals were more sumptuous than during the Chinese New Year.
"My uncle wrote to me that when I arrived on Hong Kong Island, he invited me to eat a hamburger made by an old man with a white beard. I heard that this burger has a large piece of beef in it, and if it is served with coke and fries, it will make you eat all the tongues. By the way, you are so rich, have you ever eaten burgers and cokes? The girl blinked and looked at Wu Ming.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, hamburgers and fries are too normal in modern times.
If you don't have children, or girlfriends, a place like KFC is by no means the first choice for eating.
"I've eaten it, in fact, the hamburger thing, it's really nothing good, or Chinese food is better." The courier brother opened his mouth casually, and the girl who said it looked unbelieving.
The girl in red tilted her head and frowned cutely, "How come, my uncle said that the burgers have beef, pork, chicken, and seafood." If you eat one kind a day, you have to eat it for a long time, and you can't eat it in the mainland. ā
Because of the gap between the rich and the poor on both sides of the strait, Hong Kong Island at this time is a holy place.
The girl in red is at home, every day is fried potatoes, fried cabbage, and in the morning, there is only one piece of sweet potato, and there is meat to eat during the New Year's holidays.
In her mind, a meal like a hamburger is something that can only be eaten in a dream. Where, as in modern times, unless there is a special need, it is better to take out and order a boxed lunch, and few people want to eat burgers.
"The mainland is developing, and it will get better and better in the future, I hope you don't regret going to Hong Kong Island!" Old man Jiang has experienced this era and knows that these so-called escapees from Hong Kong are actually looking down on the future of the mainland.
In the hearts of these people, the mainland has no future, just like Mr. Lao She, whose dream was extinguished and died in the lake.
But the real situation is that in less than ten years, the mainland will rise rapidly.
Many people who fled to Hong Kong Island only to find out in the end that many of the poor relatives who did not know how to change in their eyes were better than the escaped themselves, which is really a sad topic.
After working hard and risking his life, he fled to Hong Kong Island, but in the end he achieved nothing.
On the contrary, many of the people who stayed behind in those years caught up with the good opportunity of reform and opening up, and one by one they soared, and the status of Hong Kong Island was also declining.
"I won't regret it, Hong Kong Island is my dream, a paradise of freedom!" The girl in red had a smile on her face, and her tone was very resolute.
"The fishing boat in front, please stop and be inspected, the fishing boat in front, please stop and be inspected!"
Suddenly, in the wind and rain outside, there was the sound of a horn shouting.
In the next second, two high-power searchlights shone directly on the fishing boat, and the dazzling light shone in through the window, causing countless people to exclaim.
"Boss, it's a coast guard ship on Hong Kong Island, we were stopped!"
"Damn, sail quickly and return to Shenzhen Bay, the coast guard ships on Hong Kong Island dare not follow."
The two snakeheads, who were drinking, quickly took out their pistols and directed the fishing boat to turn around and sail back.
The coast guard on the coast guard boat, after seeing that the fishing boat was about to turn around, quickly fired a warning gun and warned again: "The fishing boat ahead, stop the boat for inspection, repeat it, stop the boat immediately for inspection!" ā
While shouting, the coast guard boat approached, frightening a group of stowaways on board.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the two snakeheads reprimanded again and again with guns, and anxiously looked at the coast guard ship outside.
"The fishing boat ahead, this is a Hong Kong Island Coast Guard ship, please give up your plan to escape immediately, stop the boat immediately, this is the last warning!"
"Sue your mother, stop the boat, and go to jail with you?"
The two snakeheads and their subordinates all leaned against the window, raised their pistols and shot outward, "Brothers, hit me, someone else's coast guard ship will come up!" ā
"Bang, bang..."
Gunfire rang out from the fishing boat, and the approaching coast guard boat immediately returned fire.
"Da Da Da..."
More than a dozen bullets hit the hull of the fishing boat, leaving a clear row of bullet holes.
A relatively unlucky snake man was hit by a bullet in the right arm, and the pistol in his hand was immediately thrown out.
"It's sun, Lao Tzu's hand!" Holding the arm on his hand, the snake man rolled on the ground in pain.
And the pistol that flew out slid out of an arc on the ground, slid a distance of four or five meters, and landed right in front of Old Man Jiang.
"What do you want?" Old man Jiang stretched out his hand and took the pistol directly in his hand.
At this time, because of the gunfight between the two sides, the coast guard ship did not dare to approach, and finally let the fishing boat successfully turn around.
"Boss, you've made a U-turn!"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, the coast guard's firepower is even fiercer, and we won't be able to withstand it for long."
The fishing boat was moving rapidly, and several snake men shot at the coast guard boat again and again, chasing and fleeing, heading for Shenzhen Bay.
Half an hour later, seeing that Shenzhen Bay was getting closer and closer, the coast guard ship finally gave up the chase.
It's a pity that for such a long time, the Hong Kong Island Coast Guard has already contacted the mainland coast guard, and two coast guard ships with red flags, one on the left and one on the right, appeared in the distance.
"Big brother, it's a big deal, it's a five-star red flag!"
"Dock, find a place to dock, and everyone flee separately. These people are holding the Bayi bar, and they don't want to die when they fight, our target is too big, the fishing boat is not powered enough, and it is a target at sea! ā
The head of the snake commanded the fishing boat and headed towards the shore.
Wu Ming and the others glanced at each other, and they didn't have to think about it to know that they couldn't leave today, and there was a risk of being hunted down if they didn't get it right.
"It's better to change than to plan, so be mentally prepared." Old man Jiang shook his head slightly, and said meaningfully.
"What about our money, it's still in their hands?"
Wang Yunxi looked anxious, it was all this time, and he was still thinking about his banknotes.
But this is also true, everyone has a total of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, if this money is lost, it will be really not fun in the future.
"Let's talk about the shore, if it doesn't work, get the money back."
Wu Ming quietly loaded the pistol, and Old Man Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded silently, "Yes..." )
