Chapter 448: The corpse-puller said, cruel history
"Weidong, the situation is getting more and more chaotic. Look, some people even compiled various problems about Secretary Huang in the newspaper. I don't know how he is doing now."
Chen Xueru held the newspaper with a sad look on her face.
Cao Weidong took the newspaper and read it a few times.
Sighed.
Then he threw the newspaper aside.
Cao Weidong was very worried about Secretary Huang and the relatives and friends who chose to stay.
But in this era.
Everyone is a solitary duckweed.
The wind and rain are swaying, and you can't help yourself.
Although I have given hints in advance.
But before the tide of the times, there was not much he could do.
Cao Weidong hugged Chen Xueru into his arms, patted her back and comforted her softly.
"It's okay. As long as Secretary Yang is here, there will be no chaos in Tongquan City. Ding Qiunan and the others should be fine."
"As for Sijiu City..."
"You've already said hello in advance. They will be fine."
Chen Xueru nodded slightly and then asked.
"How about our trip to Hong Kong City? We have been waiting here for almost half a year..."
Cao Weidong said calmly.
"I have asked someone to send a letter to the port city. When Xiao'e gets a reply, we can set off."
......
We have to start from the beginning.
After returning from Sijiu City, Cao Weidong gathered all those close to him and finally revealed his itinerary and destination.
When they heard that the destination of this trip was Hong Kong City, everyone was worried and excited at the same time.
Cao Weidong communicated with everyone.
In the end, Chen Xueru, Xu Aiguo, and Shi Man decided to follow Cao Weidong to Hong Kong City.
Zhang Wencheng, Ding Qiunan and others chose to stay in Tongquan City.
As for the adoptive father and mother, because they are older and their health has been poor, they also chose to stay in Tongquan City to raise them.
The adopted father and adopted mother are family members of martyrs.
You should not be implicated in this kind of wave.
So it's safer for them to stay here.
Cao Weidong said goodbye to everyone one by one.
Finally, he bowed deeply to his adopted father and adopted mother.
Cao Weidong knew that once he left this time, he might say goodbye forever.
Foster father Ma Xuewu said seriously.
"Weidong, you have a great future. We cannot and cannot keep you, but I have only one request for you."
"You said."
"Never forget that you are Chinese... Never lose the face of the Chinese people there, and never forget your roots."
Cao Weidong solemnly promised.
"You also know that I want to do practical things, but China is in turmoil, so I can only choose to go to Hong Kong City... But once the turmoil in China subsides in the future, I will definitely invest in the construction of China." p>
Ma Xuewu smiled happily.
.......
In the next few days, Cao Weidong dealt with some trivial matters and took Zhang Wencheng to familiarize himself with the factory's business. After everything was stable, and before the storm completely rose, he led everyone to Shenzhen Shekou after many twists and turns, and stayed here temporarily.
Live here.
While on the road, Cao Weidong used the rewarded shopping points to upgrade his portable space to the limit.
Today, Cao Weidong's personal space is rich in products, including grain, fruits, purified water, medicinal herbs, pigs, cattle, sheep, poultry, seafood, etc.
These are hard currencies, comparable to gold.
With the blessing of "money power", the neighbors in Shekou have become cute.
He is kind and speaks nicely. Cao Weidong likes it here.
While talking with his neighbors, Cao Weidong learned that there are three ways to get to Hong Kong City from here.
Overland, swimming, boating.
According to the different routes, there are east line, middle line and west line.
If you are women, children and the elderly, you will usually choose the land route.
However, the land route requires crossing a bridge and passing through numerous barbed wire fences. If there is no one to help, the success rate will not be too high.
Usually, young and strong guys will choose to swim through the western route.
They would tie empty gasoline cans to their bodies in advance, calculate the times of high and low tides, and then start from Shekou and the mangrove area and swim all the way there.
Many unlucky people chose to go into the water at low tide because they did not understand the time of high and low tide. As a result, the tide began to rise halfway through the swim, and they were unable to swim through it. They drowned halfway and were knocked back to the shore by the waves.
If you are lucky and everything goes well, you can swim to Yuen Long in the northwest New Territories of Hong Kong City in just over an hour.
This news was told to Cao Weidong by a neighbor.
This is a lonely old man.
He has no children, so he usually sits under a tree in his yard to enjoy the shade, and doesn’t know what he does for a living.
Cao Weidong was new here, and he often chatted with this weird old man, and sometimes gave him a few packs of cigarettes, and he became familiar with him after two visits.
This day.
The old man happily smoked the cigarette given by Cao Weidong and said leisurely.
"Normally, no one cares about swimming. It's just that it's easy to get to the boundary of Hong Kong City from us. It's difficult to avoid the search of the police at the boundary of Hong Kong City. I heard that there are not only police, but also big wolf dogs.
, very vicious."
"So people often hide during the day and wait until midnight to climb over the barbed wire fence to avoid the guards and hounds, but the probability is still very low."
The old man looked at Cao Weidong and said firmly.
"You asked so many questions, but you also want to go to Hong Kong City?"
Naturally, Cao Weidong would not admit it and casually made a haha.
The old man said.
"I understand in my heart that in this era, anyone with some ability wants to go to Hong Kong City to develop."
Cao Weidong was silent.
What the old man said is reality.
During this period, the average income of a farmer in China was 0.7 yuan after working for one day.
In Hong Kong City, the price is around 70 Hong Kong dollars.
In Hong Kong City, people use TVs and refrigerators.
But China is only separated by a thin line.
But people still eat sweet potatoes and salted fish...
With such a huge difference in life, it is no wonder that people regard Hong Kong City as a paradise and go there regardless of the danger.
The old man took a deep sip, patted the dust on his clothes, and stood up.
"Xiao Cao, thank you for talking to me these days. You are a good person. I hope we don't meet outside."
Cao Weidong was a little confused and didn't know what the old man meant.
The old man said calmly, with sadness in his tone.
"Because I am the corpse collector in the commune, every time we bury the body of a drowned stowaway, we can receive labor fees."
"This is an unfortunate thing. No one in the commune is willing to do it, except me, a bad old man."
"You don't know, you can always make money by pulling corpses. One day I received more than thirty dollars from the commune. Darling, this is my annual income."
"Do you know how many bodies I buried that day?"
"There are more than thirty bodies, including my three sons..."
Looking at the old man's leaving figure, Cao Weidong was speechless for a long time.
What you get on paper is ultimately shallow.
Only when he saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears did he know how cruel it was to smuggle people into the country.
Fight for your life on land and water, life and death depend on the sky!
......
I got a lot of inside information from La Shi Lao.
Cao Weidong began to plan.
This trip is dangerous, and Chen Xueru is with him, so the waterway is obviously not suitable.
The best way is to buy connections and disguise your identity to get through.
He has already smoothed the relationship with China.
But there was nothing he could do on the harbor side.
For this reason, Cao Weidong spent a lot of money to find the snakehead and asked him to bring the letter he wrote to Lou Xiao'e, hoping that she could smoothen the relationship on the other side.
This wait lasts for several months.
Finally, on this day, Cao Weidong received a letter from Lou Xiaoe!
In the letter, Lou Xiao'e stated that she had taken care of the relationship in advance and that she would meet Cao Weidong on the Hong Kong side in a week!
