"When it's time to arrive, get Lao Tzu off the boat, and give me a little bit of legs and feet!"

The owner of the smuggling ferry shouted loudly, and Xu Fugui was relieved, and hurriedly came out of the cabin, walked onto the deck, and came to the dock.

It was still dark at this time, and there was only the light from the lighthouse on the pier, and it was impossible to see the surroundings.

There was the sound of lapping the ocean in the dark night, and the salty sea breeze was blowing his hair head-on, standing in this strange land, Xu Fugui suddenly felt a little dazed and at a loss.

Where to go now, where to exchange Hong Kong dollars, where to settle down tonight, and how to get a Hong Kong identity card?

These questions lingered in his mind, and he let out a long breath, lit a cigarette, turned back, and found the head of the snake disembarking from the steamer.

Xu Fugui handed over the cigarette and said in a flattering tone, "Boss of the boat, you are new to the city, can you give me a ride." ”

When these people heard this, they immediately laughed playfully, "Boat boss? It's really interesting for mainlanders to talk, you kid is looking for a place to settle down and settle in Xiangjiang half of your ID card, right? ”

Xu Fugui nodded honestly, except for these people, Xu Fugui didn't know any of the others, and he just hoped that the boat boss was a person who talked about the rules.

The boat boss looked at him carefully, and suddenly said, "My surname is Cheng, it's better to call me Cheng Boss in the future." ”

After speaking, he took the cigarette in his hand and gave two to the brothers behind him, and put the rest in his pocket.

"Boss Cheng." Xu Fugui called out honestly.

Cheng Lao is not tall, but his muscles are very strong, he can be said to be short and concise, he has an inch on his head, there is a scar at the corner of his eye, and his face looks a little fierce, Xu Fugui can't help but feel a little stunned.

Boss Cheng pinched his shoulder, "Yes, I have a good body." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Fugui's heart suddenly became even more panicked, this person couldn't be the idea of putting on his own organs, right?

In the next second, I saw Boss Cheng raise his eyebrows: "It seems that you don't have any relatives to take refuge into, why don't you follow me first?" How about wrapping up your fragrant and spicy food? ”

Xu Fugui swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Boss Cheng, what are you doing?" ”

Boss Cheng shrugged his shoulders, "As you can see, eat a bite of food in the rivers and lakes, accept others to give face, and call me boss." ”

Xu Fugui shook his head decisively, "The boss thinks highly of me, I'm not the material for eating this bowl of rice." ”

When several of his subordinates heard this, they immediately glared at him and asked him if he looked down on them.

Xu Fugui shook his head, crying and mourning, "Boss Cheng, I just want to find a place to live and get an ID card for Xiangjiang." ”

Boss Cheng didn't seem to be happy, waved his hand, and left directly.

Xu Fugui breathed a sigh of relief, it was okay to leave, at least there was no more trouble.

Xu Fugui turned around and walked towards the outside of the wharf, only to find that the people who had smuggled before were all waiting on the side of the dark road, the road on the ground was full of potholes, and there was no popularity around.

He felt a chill in his heart, this was a small abandoned wharf, and he didn't know how far to go in the city, but fortunately there was a street sign on the side of the road.

Most of the others had sad faces on their faces, thinking that they could live a good life when they came to Xiangjiang, but when they really came to a strange place, they were confused and filled their hearts.

At this time, a van with high beams drove over, and everyone's eyes lit up at first, and then when they saw Cheng Lao and others walking over, their eyes immediately became dim.

"Cousin!" The van stopped on the side of the road, and a young man whose face could not be seen clearly jumped down and shouted loudly, and Cheng Lao and others also greeted him with a smile.

Xu Fugui felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, walked into two steps, looked at the person's face with the help of the headlights, and subconsciously shouted: "Wenchang? ”

Wang Wenchang heard someone shouting at him, looked at him, maybe he didn't see it clearly, took two steps forward, and said in surprise: "Fugui! ”

The joy of meeting a confidant in another country came to his heart, and Xu Fugui looked at him in disbelief, "It's really you." ”

The rest was all surprise except joy.

Wang Wenchang didn't work in a state-run hotel in the provincial capital, how could he see him in Xiangjiang, and he helped arrange the work of the state-run hotel.

And he has changed too much now, his hair is flatcut, he is wearing a floral coat, and he has a machete pinned to his waist, exuding a temperament of a hanger.

Wang Wenchang walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Fugui, why did you come to Xiangjiang?" It's not like you can't get along in the mainland. ”

Xu Fugui smiled bitterly, "This is a long story, but you, weren't you in the provincial capital before, why did you come to Xiangjiang?" ”

Wang Wenchang was about to speak, when Boss Cheng came over and asked, "Wenchang, is this your friend?" ”

Wang Wenchang nodded heavily, "Yes, a good brother who grew up since childhood, he used to be the eldest young master of the Xu family, and later, like me, went bankrupt." ”

"Fugui, this is my cousin, my cousin, he is very powerful."

Boss Cheng interrupted him, "Since you are a friend of Wenchang, let's get in the car first, and then talk when you get in the car, it's not safe here." ”

The two nodded, and under the envious eyes of the rest of the people, they got into the van and drove away.

In the car, Wang Wenchang excitedly exchanged his deeds with him, he came to Xiangjiang at the beginning of this year and has been here for more than half a year.

As for the reason, he did a good job in the state-run hotel before, much better than sweeping the streets.

But by chance, he got the news of his cousin and learned that his cousin was doing well in Xiangjiang.

My cousin wrote to him about the life in Xiangjiang, which made him yearn for this kind of life, and he felt that life in the mainland was becoming more and more rigid day by day, making people more and more breathless.

He was the eldest young master of the Wang family in the first half of his life, but now he has become an ingredient that is not even as good as the common people, and there is naturally a gap in his heart.

After struggling for a while, he resolutely left the state-run hotel because of the discriminatory eyes of the guests.

Then I used all my savings to buy a train ticket, went all the way south, smuggled to Xiangjiang, found my cousin, and the rest of my life was comfortable.

Listening to Wang Wenchang's voice and feeling the wind blowing in from the window, Xu Fugui felt that the big stone in his heart had fallen, and when he met acquaintances in a strange place, the sense of security given to him was beyond words.

Wang Wenchang said and sighed, "The night of the smuggling at that time, it scared me terribly, if it wasn't for my luck, I really wouldn't have been able to get by." ”

Xu Fugui nodded in agreement, "Yes, I also suffered a lot of sins when I came here tonight, and my clothes and pants are still wet." ”

Wang Wenchang asked curiously: "Fugui, why did you come to Xiangjiang, don't you live a very nourishing life in the mainland, I heard others say that I can see you in the newspaper." ”

Xu Fugui sighed, "You also know the situation in the mainland, after all, I am the son of a landlord, and I have to suffer a lot of targets.
