"Brother, the coast guard has been very strict these days. Is there some risk in our trip? I heard that Big Head Shark's gang had a firefight with the coast guard yesterday. We are still operating today. We might get blocked.
!”
"Damn, how can you make money without risk? We only received 23,000 in cash, plus these 32 piglets, we made a hundred thousand in one trip. Look at those white-collar workers, all of them are wearing crisp suits.
After a year of hard work, they still don’t earn as much as we do in one trip. If they don’t work hard a few times, how can they spend money to live happily?”
"Brother is right. I have a classmate who is in college. He has worked hard for ten years and his salary now is less than 1,000 yuan. At the last class reunion, I showed off my eldest brother and they were stunned.
I’m so stunned, my eyes are so envious!”
At the wine table, the drinkers laughed and no longer said anything about risks.
After all, people travel thousands of miles just for money. For people like them, if they have money, they have everything, and if they don't have money, they will die.
Anyway, helping people smuggle people across the border is not a serious crime. As long as you don't get charged with human trafficking, it only takes a few years for you to be caught. If you are released, you will be a good man.
People at the wine table were discussing, and Wu Ming and the others were not idle either.
We will arrive in Hong Kong Island tomorrow, and everyone is excited and joking with each other.
"Look at that girl, the one in red. She looks so beautiful. Tell me, is she a chicken maker? It's such a pity that such a beautiful girl is a chicken maker!"
There were more than 30 piggies on the boat, and there were also a dozen girls. One of the girls in red was a popular anchor in modern times, and the courier boy was beaming with joy as he watched.
The middle-aged uncle raised his head slightly and looked at the courier boy's hand, with a look of amazement on his face, "Really, I didn't expect that there are such high-quality goods among these piglets. How about we go over and have a chat and try to fight for it?"
How about cheering her up when we get to Hong Kong Island?"
The space in the cabin is not big, and with more than thirty people sitting on the floor, it seems a bit crowded.
In the entire cabin, except for a few smugglers who occupied a table, there were a few chairs in the corner where Wu Ming and others were leaning, making it less crowded.
Hearing the middle-aged uncle's words, the courier boy became bolder and stood up from his chair, "I'll ask her for her contact information. You guys wait for me."
"You really go, aren't you afraid of being beaten?"
The courier boy walked up, while Wu Ming and others sat on chairs, waiting to see his joke.
A few minutes later, without knowing what the two parties said, the girl in red looked up and came over with the courier guy.
"What's going on? It's done so quickly?"
Seeing the courier boy bringing the person back, the middle-aged uncle couldn't wait to ask.
After looking at everyone's reactions, the courier boy had a victorious smile on his face and whispered: "I told her that I could give her my seat and let her sit on the chair to rest overnight. Do you think I am?
Very powerful?"
"Nonsense, there is only such a big place on the ship. If you give her the chair, you will have to sit on the ground. I really don't know what you are thinking." Old man Jiang had an unhappy look on his face and did not look at the girl in red at all.
One glance.
"It's okay, it's just one night anyway, I can survive it."
The courier boy was not ashamed, pointed to his chair, turned around and said, "Sit down, you are so beautiful, I will be a hero to save you."
"Thank you..." The girl in red looked frightened, looked at everyone's reactions weakly, bit her lip and sat down.
This morning, they piggies have already boarded the boat.
After sitting on the floor for a day, the girl in red felt sore all over, and she really couldn't resist the temptation of the chair.
"What are you doing going to Hong Kong Island? I saw that you were on the boat and gave these people a lot of money. Did you buy the tickets?" In order to avoid embarrassment, the girl in red spoke slowly and followed the others to get closer.
The middle-aged uncle was also a coquettish guy. Before the courier boy could answer, he spoke first: "We bought ferry tickets to go to Hong Kong Island to make a fortune. What about you, little girl? I think you are only fifteen or sixteen years old. You go
What are you doing on Hong Kong Island? Do you have money to buy a ticket?"
"I have no money, but my uncle went to Hong Kong Island three years ago, and I went to join him. My uncle advanced part of the shipping fee for me, and I will repay the remaining half by working, so that I can live a good life in the future.
Already."
The girl in red had a smile on her face, and when she mentioned the name of Hong Kong Island, there was a light of hope in her eyes.
In 1983, there was no reform and opening up at this time. Although we were no longer hungry, we were still just above the food and clothing line. Our living standards were far from those on Hong Kong Island.
For the girl in red, Hong Kong Island is paradise and the birthplace of dreams.
From the letter written by her uncle, the girl knew that Hong Kong Island is very prosperous. There are buses when she goes out, and there is also a place called a cafeteria where you can eat as much food as you want. The food is better than during the Chinese New Year.
rich.
"My uncle wrote to me and said that after I arrived in Hong Kong Island, he would treat me to something called a hamburger made by an old man with a white beard. I heard that this burger has a large piece of beef in it. If it is paired with Coca-Cola and potatoes,
The strips can make people eat their tongues. By the way, you are so rich, have you ever eaten hamburgers and Coke?" The girl blinked and looked at Wu Ming and others.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. Things like burgers and fries are so normal in modern times.
If you are not traveling with children or a girlfriend, places like KFC are definitely not your first choice for dining.
"I've had it. Actually, the burgers are really not that delicious. The Chinese food is better." The courier boy said casually, and the girl looked unbelieving.
The girl in red tilted her head and frowned cutely, "How could that be? My uncle said that burgers include beef, pork, chicken, and seafood. Eat one kind every day.
For a long time, it was impossible to eat it in mainland China."
Because of the gap between the rich and the poor on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong Island at this time was a holy place.
At home, the girl in red cooks potatoes and cabbage every day. In the morning, she only has a piece of sweet potato. She only has meat to eat during holidays.
In her mind, delicacies like hamburgers are something that can only be dreamed of. Wherever it is in modern times, unless there are special needs, few people would rather order takeout lunches than eat hamburgers.
"The mainland is developing and will get better and better in the future. I hope you won'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 minds of these people, the mainland has no future, just like Mr. Lao She, whose dreams were extinguished and he threw himself into a lake and died.
But the real situation is that in less than ten years, the mainland will rise rapidly.
Many people who fled to Hong Kong Island will suddenly realize in the end that many of their poor relatives who do not know how to adapt are doing better than themselves who escaped. This is really a sad topic.
After working so hard and risking his life, he escaped to Hong Kong Island, but in the end he achieved nothing.
On the contrary, many people who stayed back caught up with the good opportunity of reform and opening up and became prosperous one by one, while 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 said with a smile on her face and a very firm tone.
"The fishing boat in front of you, please stop for inspection. The fishing boat in front of you, please stop for inspection!"
Suddenly, in the wind and rain outside, there was the sound of loudspeakers shouting.
The next second, two high-power searchlights shone directly on the fishing boat, and the dazzling light came from the windows, causing countless people to scream.
"Boss, it's a coast guard ship from Hong Kong Island, we were stopped!"
"Damn, hurry up and sail back to Shenzhen Bay. The coast guard ship on Hong Kong Island won't dare to follow you."
The two smugglers who were drinking quickly took out their pistols and directed the fishing boat to turn around and return.
When the coast guard on the coast guard ship saw that the fishing boat was about to turn around, he quickly fired a warning shot and warned again: "The fishing boat ahead, stop the boat for inspection. Repeat this, stop the boat for inspection immediately!"
While shouting, the coast guard ship approached, frightening a group of stowaways on board.
When the two smugglers saw something was wrong, they scolded them repeatedly with guns in hand and looked anxiously at the coast guard ship outside.
"The fishing boat ahead, this is the Hong Kong Island Coast Guard ship. Please give up your escape plan immediately, turn off the engine and stop the boat immediately. This is the last warning!"
"Sue your mother to stop the boat and go to jail with you?"
The two smugglers and their men all leaned against the window. They raised their pistols and started shooting. "Brothers, shoot me. The other coast guard ship will come up!"
"Bang, bang bang..."
The fishing boat was hit by loud gunfire, and the approaching coast guard ship immediately launched a counterattack.
"Da da da..."
More than a dozen bullets hit the hull of the fishing boat, leaving a row of clear bullet holes.
A relatively unlucky snake man was hit in the right arm by a bullet, and the pistol in his hand was immediately thrown out.
"Damn it, my hand!" Holding his arm, the snake man was rolling on the ground in pain.
The pistol that flew out slid out of an arc on the ground, slid a distance of four to five meters, and landed right in front of Old Man Jiang.
"You really get what you want." Old Jiang stretched out his hand and took the pistol directly in his hand.
At this time, due to the gunfight between the two sides, the coast guard ship did not dare to approach, and finally the fishing boat successfully turned around.
"Boss, we successfully turned around!"
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. The Coast Guard's firepower is even stronger and we won't be able to withstand it for long."
The fishing boat moved forward rapidly, and several snakemen shot at the coast guard ship repeatedly. One chased and the other fled, heading towards Shenzhen Bay.
Half an hour later, seeing Shenzhen Bay getting closer and closer, the coast guard ship finally gave up the chase.
It's a pity that in such a long time, the Hong Kong Island Coast Guard has contacted the mainland Coast Guard, and two Coast Guard ships flying red flags appeared in the distance, one on the left and one on the right.
"Brother, things are serious, it's a five-star red flag!"
"Dock to the shore, find a place to dock, and let's run away separately. These people are armed with Bayi bars, and they will fight with their lives. Our target is too big, and the fishing boat is not powerful enough, so it is a target at sea!"
