Chapter 414: Arrival
How to get over?
They did not choose to take a boat from Tsu City to Hong Kong Island this time.
Instead, take a train, first go to Wushi from Sijiu City, and then take the ferry to the Yangtze River to take the train to Yangcheng again, and the relevant departments will make their own arrangements after arriving there.
This trouble is also because the Yangtze River Bridge in Wushi has not yet been built, and after the bridge is completed and opened to traffic at the end of this year, you can take a train from Sijiu City to Yangcheng, which will be much more convenient and will take a lot less time.
Fang Xiaoya, who was sitting on the train, looked a little panicked, this was the first time she went out of the house, and it was also the first time she took the train, from the moment she went out from home, she followed her man step by step, she was embarrassed to hold hands when she went out before, and she didn't care about it at all, and held his hand tightly throughout the whole process.
Knowing that his daughter-in-law was leaving home for the first time, Li Heng took more care of her than at home, even if he went to the bathroom, he would lead her to let her wait at the door.
Similarly, when the little girl wants to go to the bathroom, he will accompany her, just to keep her from being afraid.
After the little girl came out of the bathroom, the first thing she did was to stuff her little hands into Li Heng's big hands, and it would be a year since she got married, she never thought that her man's big hands would bring her such a strong sense of security.
The relevant departments of this trip arranged quite well, to get a sleeper, so that they do not have to stay up in the hard seat for about 30 hours, you know, the maximum speed of the train in this era is only about 40 kilometers per hour, and it is really not a good experience to sit for a long time.
It's different for Fang Xiaoya, when she goes out, panic is panic, fear is fear, but these don't affect her curiosity about the outside world, she always asks her husband questions, and what she gets out of here is a 100,000 whys.
Fortunately, Li Heng is well-informed, and he can basically answer the questions she asks, and the little girl who listened to him was amazed again and again, and her beautiful eyes were full of admiration when she looked at him, and even the two staff members of the relevant departments were also sideways.
In the next few days, it was a ferry, a car, and a train, and it was enough to toss the little girl who was still interested in going out for the first time, and in the last few days, the whole person was obviously listless, and the scenery outside the window could not attract her.
There's no way, long-distance travel is like this, you can't eat or sleep well, and the sound of banging and banging echoes in your ears all day long, and everyone will be uncomfortable.
From the day he learned that he was coming to Hong Kong Island, Li Heng had thought of many ways to come here, but what he didn't expect was that he used this unsightly way when he came here for the first time. qs
When crossing the river by ferry in Wushi, because of the large boat and the relatively gentle river, Fang Xiaoya did not get seasick, but she took a small boat to cross the sea to Hong Kong Island, but she vomited miserably, so that she got off the boat and ran in the car for almost an hour, she still fell softly in Li Heng's arms, humming uncomfortably.
"I'm sorry, Director Li, do you need to find a clinic first?"
The staff member who was sitting in the back of the car with him had an apologetic look on his face.
"It's okay, seasickness is not a disease, even if you go to the clinic, there is no special way to deal with it."
Although he was distressed, Li Heng knew that there was no way to do it, and he should be able to recover after two days of rest.
As he spoke, Li Heng's eyes fell on the car window, for Hong Kong Island, although he had been here once in his previous life, it was only in the city center, not to mention that it was now in the fifties, and there was still a fundamental difference from that time, he didn't know where he was now, so he simply leaned back in the chair and began to close his eyes.
After a few days of running around, he also felt a little tired, and after tightening his wife in his arms again, he completely emptied his brain and seized the time to recover his strength.
In this strange city, he didn't dare to let himself be tired, it was undoubtedly in the hands of others to put his life and that of his wife, which was completely unacceptable to him.
In this way, the car drove for an hour before stopping, whether this is the city center Li Heng didn't know, but the buildings outside looked much better than the road just now.
At this time, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, and the street was quiet, and even a ghost shadow could be seen, only the dim street lamps kept emitting their own light, as if they wanted to illuminate all the dark places in this world.
"Director Li, this is a hotel opened by our own people, the internal conditions are not bad, the vast majority of the people living in it are foreigners, there is absolutely no problem in terms of security, you and your lover will temporarily settle here during this time, the meal is on the first floor, and all the expenses can be recorded on the room number."
The staff member said as he pulled something out of his pocket and handed it over.
"This is two hundred Hong Kong dollars, which is considered the cost of your activities here, I know it is indeed a bit small, but there is no way, our strength is like this."
"It's okay, I don't buy anything, and I don't have to spend money on food and accommodation, it's enough for me. By the way, I would like to ask, is there a post office around here? After dawn, I want to send a telegram home to say that I am safe."
Regarding the matter of making telegrams, Li Heng consulted the leaders of relevant departments when he was in China, and the reply he got was yes.
"Yes, diagonally across the street from the inn, you can see it from the side of the road. If you need to use a bank, there are several banks on this street, and you'd better go to HSBC, Standard Chartered or Advantage, which are all big banks with the right to issue notes, and their reputation is still guaranteed, and some of the smaller banks may be tricked if they know that you have just come from the north."
The staff member patiently explained to Li Heng.
Because of the nature of his work, he has to travel back and forth between the two places frequently in recent years, and he has seen too many examples of fellow villagers who have just come from the north and have been bankrupt here.
"Also, Director Li, you and your lover will rest here in peace for the next two days, Mingli and I still have some work to deal with, we will come back to you in two days, you can also go out for a walk in the next two days, but please don't leave here too far."
"Okay, I see. Is there anything else you need to instruct?"
"Finally, I believe you also know the purpose of our trip, I don't know if you know how to contact your comrades, if you have any way to contact them, you can also try first, sometimes it will backfire when we come forward."
This Li Heng knows very well, because he has told Fu Chunlai and them before that he must hide his political tendencies, develop with peace of mind first, and talk about other things when he is full-fledged.
