I am Fugui

Chapter 271 Meeting Wang Wenchang Again

"When it's time to arrive, I'll get you all out of the boat, and my legs and feet will be quicker for me!"

The person in charge of the smuggling ship yelled loudly, and Xu Fugui hurried out of the cabin as if he was relieved, walked onto the deck, and came to the pier.

It was still dark at this time, and there was only the light from the lighthouse on the pier, and the surrounding situation could not be seen clearly.

There was the sound of slapping the ocean in the dark night, and the salty sea breeze ruffled his hair. Standing in this strange land, Xu Fugui suddenly felt a little dazed and at a loss.

Where should I go now, where can I exchange Hong Kong dollars, where will I stay tonight, and how can I get a Hong Kong ID card?

With these questions lingering in his mind, he let out a long breath, lit a cigarette, turned back, and found the snake head that got off the ship.

Xu Fugui handed over the cigarette, and said in a flattering tone, "Boss, it's new here, can you take me for a ride."

When these people heard this, they immediately laughed jokingly, "Boss of the ship? The mainlanders are really interesting to talk about. You kid is looking for a place to stay, and settle down in Xiangjiang with half an ID card?"

Xu Fugui nodded honestly. Except for these people, Xu Fugui didn't know any of them. He only hoped that the boat boss was a well-behaved person.

The boat boss looked him over carefully, and suddenly said, "My surname is Cheng, please call me Boss Cheng from now on."

After finishing speaking, he took the cigarettes in his hand, scattered two for each of the brothers behind him, and put the rest into his pocket.

"Boss Cheng." Xu Fugui called out honestly.

Boss Cheng is not tall, but his muscles are very strong, and he can be said to be short and lean. He has a cut head and a scar at the corner of his eye.

Boss Cheng squeezed his shoulder, "Not bad, I have a good body."

Hearing this, Xu Fugui became even more flustered. Could it be that this person wanted to get his own organs done?

In the next second, Boss Cheng raised his eyebrows again: "It seems that you don't have any relatives to turn to, why don't you hang out with me first? How about making you hot and spicy?"

Xu Fugui swallowed, "Boss Cheng, what do you do?"

Boss Cheng shrugged his shoulders, "As you can see, if you live in the rivers and lakes, you can save face and call me Boss."

Xu Fugui shook his head resolutely, "Boss thinks highly of me, I'm not made for this bowl of rice."

Hearing this, several subordinates immediately stared at him and asked him if he looked down on them.

Xu Fugui shook his head, with a mournful face, "Boss Cheng, I just want to find a place to live and get a Xiangjiang ID card."

Boss Cheng also seemed unhappy, waved his hand, and left directly.

Xu Fugui breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to leave, at least there won't be too much trouble.

Xu Fugui turned around and walked out of the pier, only to find that the people who stowed away were all waiting on the side of the dark road, the road on the ground was potholed, and there was no one around.

He felt cold, this might be a small abandoned pier, thinking about how far he would have to go in the city, luckily there was a road sign on the side of the road.

Most of the other people had sad looks on their faces. They thought they could live a good life when they came to Xiangjiang, but when they really came to a strange place, their hearts were filled with confusion.

At this time, a van with high beams on drove over. Everyone's eyes lit up first, and then they saw Boss Cheng and others walking past, and their eyes immediately dimmed.

"Cousin!" The van stopped on the side of the road, and a young man whose face couldn't be seen jumped down and shouted loudly. Boss Cheng and others also greeted him with smiles.

However, Xu Fugui felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. He took two steps, looked at the man's face with the help of the headlights, and subconsciously called out: "Wenchang?"

Hearing someone calling him, Wang Wenchang looked at him, maybe he didn't see clearly, took two steps forward, and said pleasantly, "Fugui!"

The joy of meeting a confidant in a foreign land welled up in his heart, Xu Fugui looked at him in disbelief, "It's really you."

In addition to joy, the rest is full of surprise.

Didn't Wang Wenchang work in the state-run hotel in the provincial capital? Why did I see him in Xiangjiang? He helped arrange the job in the state-run hotel.

And he has changed too much now, his hair has been cut into a crew cut, he is wearing a floral coat, and there is a machete pinned to his waist, exuding a carefree temperament all over his body.

Wang Wenchang came over and patted him hard on the shoulder, "Fugui, why did you come to Xiangjiang? You won't be able to get along in the mainland, right?"

Xu Fugui smiled wryly, "It's a long story, but you, you were 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, he used to be the young master of the Xu family, but he went bankrupt just like me."

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

Boss Cheng interrupted him, "Since you are Wenchang's friend, then get in the car first, and talk after getting in the car, it's not safe here."

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

In the car, Wang Wenchang excitedly shared his story 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 do a good job in the state-run restaurant before, which was much better than his days of sweeping the streets.

But by chance, he got news from his cousin that he was doing well in Xiangjiang.

My cousin wrote a letter about life in Xiangjiang. He yearned for this kind of life. He felt that life in the mainland became more and more rigid day by day, making people more and more breathless.

In the first half of his life, he was the eldest son of the Wang family, but now he is inferior to ordinary people, so there is a gap in his heart.

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

Then I used all my savings to buy a train ticket, traveled all the way south, smuggled to Xiangjiang, found my cousin, and felt comfortable in the days after that.

Listening to Wang Wenchang's voice and feeling the wind blowing in from the window, Xu Fugui felt a big rock in his heart fall. Meeting acquaintances in a strange place gave people a sense of security that was beyond words.

Wang Wenchang sighed as he spoke, "I was terrified that night when I was smuggled out. If I hadn't been lucky, I would have never survived."

Xu Fugui nodded in agreement, "Yes, I suffered a lot 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 good life in the mainland? I heard that you can be seen in newspapers."

Xu Fugui sighed, "You know the situation in mainland China. After all, I am the son of a landlord, and I have to suffer a lot of criticism. This time I came to Xiangjiang, and I mainly came to see my father-in-law."
