The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 36 Escape to Hong Kong
"I don't know how to bring a pot of water, bad review!"

The sweet potato pulp is in the shape of a powder, not the soft red flesh that Chen Jisheng is familiar with. It chokes you after one bite, and the taste is not very good, and there is no sweetness.

After putting away the small bag, Chen Jisheng turned around in a circle and scanned the surroundings. Then he got into the grass about half a man high in a few quick steps. After changing positions several times in a row, he slowly squatted down and listened. sound.

In addition to the chirping of insects, there are occasional green lights of fireflies in the wild. The environment is safe, but the hot flashes are severe and somewhat uncomfortable.

There was no bottled water in the warehouse, so I had no choice but to take out an iron box, drink it like a cow, and then take out a can of canned beef and finish it quickly.

There was no moon in the sky and it was very dark at night. The compass could not be seen clearly. Chen Jisheng took out a marathon military watch and confirmed his position through the hands of the watch. Without the watch cover, the xenon luminous light was too conspicuous at night, so he had to keep it in his pocket.

He took out another backpack, packed a set of American enemy jungle summer clothes, put on canvas military boots, and changed his shirt into a short-sleeved sea soul shirt. Chen Jisheng then began to explore forward.

About 500 meters away, there was the barbed wire fence on the border. It was also pitch black on the other side, without a single point of light. It was too dark to move, so Chen Jisheng decided to wait and go there when there was daylight in the early morning.

Retreat according to the distance of 500 meters. This distance should be careful. Don't encounter the patrol in the dark and eat peanuts for no reason. That will be a big injustice.

He couldn't sleep in the wilderness, and he didn't dare to sleep. Chen Jisheng could only take out his poncho, put it on a small mound of soil, and sit with his knees down. This way he could respond quickly to situations, but there were too many mosquitoes at night.

While on alert, I rested and checked my watch every half hour to check the time. When it was almost twelve o'clock, there was a rustling sound in the surrounding grass. The sound was messy and the breathing was loud and irregular. trained.

Taking out a 1911, two magazines, loading bullets on top and turning off the safety, he inserted them into his waist and put on his poncho. Chen Jisheng endured the hot flashes and hid behind a small mound of soil to observe the situation.

"I'm from Nigang, where are you from?"

A man's voice came out from a position more than thirty meters away from Chen Jisheng. He then lowered his guard and realized that he was a fugitive from Hong Kong just like himself. He just waited to act with them.

He put away the trivial things on his body, and there was no need to wear disguises when he was there. He would first check the situation there, but Qian Chen Jisheng stayed behind in case of any eventuality.

The person who asked the question did not speak. After a while, except for a little noise, the whole place became basically quiet. It seemed that he had made a good decision. The people nearby were also waiting for time.

At two o'clock in the night, the movement started there. Most of them were men. There were about twenty people scattered in a line. They all bent down and moved forward furtively.

When he arrived near the barbed wire fence, Chen Jisheng heard the footsteps, which were very loud. There were at least ten people, a hundred meters away. This was the patrol coming.

Without reporting to his colleagues, Chen Jisheng strode to the edge of the wooden pillar, stepped on the iron wire on it, and quickly climbed up.

The barbed wire fence is three meters high, and the bottom is dense and the top is sparse. Ordinary people can't stop it, let alone him. He doesn't need to reach the top, and he can pass at a position of about two meters.

Chen Jisheng grabbed the wooden pillar with both hands, twisted his body and got through the barbed wire fence. He didn't dare to jump down, so he still climbed down. Then he curled up into a ball and crouched against the wooden pillar.

Within 20 seconds, the patrol discovered the situation here. With a shout, the light beams of the flashlights lit up, looking particularly thick in the dark night.

The people who had fled to Hong Kong with Chen Jisheng panicked, and they were all in a panic. Only seven or eight people came over. After landing, they ran away.

After waiting for a few seconds, Chen Jisheng saw the clear figure of the patrol. He also followed the direction that the person who had just escaped from the port had taken and ran away. In a second or two, the figure appeared. Disappeared into the night.

Apart from shouts and curses, there were no gunshots coming from behind. This made Chen Jisheng feel relieved. At least he was not afraid of being shot in the back. It seemed that he was quite restrained and could not move without using a gun.

After the people on the road ahead ran away for a while, their momentum was exhausted. Seeing them gathered in a group, Chen Jisheng felt more at ease. Who knew if there were any landmines in the dark?
There is no way to do preliminary work such as whether the patrol team is firing or whether there are landmines on the opposite side. No one knows about it, and it is difficult to find out what is known. There are many accidents. Even if there is a plan, it is probably useless and can only be done forcefully. superior.

About 50 meters away from the people in front of him, Chen Jisheng squatted quietly in the grass. He would not move if they moved. As long as he passed the barbed wire fence, there was not much danger.

Even if he faces the patrol here, he can handle it. Anyway, he is not one of his own, so he can attack at will.

There must be veterans among the group of people in front. They stopped for 15 minutes to rest and immediately started taking action again. Chen Jisheng followed silently.

After walking for more than two hours, under daylight, the visibility reached more than 50 meters. Only then did Chen Jisheng part ways with them, and he would be easily discovered again.

By seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Jisheng had not met anyone. He was blocked by a river. The river was a bit wide, more than [-] meters long. Judging from the color of the water, it should not be deep.

After taking off all his clothes, Chen Jisheng walked over without looking for a bridge or ferry.The deepest point is only waist high. The river bed is mixed with sand and gravel and is very hard. It is not a big problem to pass the jeep. I took off my clothes a little early.

After crossing the river, he put on his clothes again, replaced the sea soul shirt with a white shirt, and replaced the military boots with the old cloth shoes given by Sun Meilan, and then Chen Jisheng was on the road again.

There is a rice field not far in front, and it is not part of the busy farming season. There are only a few scattered people in the field. They don't know what they are doing. Most of their clothes are black double-breasted, and they don't make a fuss when they see themselves.

The village is not far away, just like the small villages in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is past dinner time, the smoke is still lingering around the village.

Chen Jisheng did not enter the village head-on, but took a detour and walked through a few short and messy alleys before appearing on the main road of the village. The people from last night were already waiting under the trees on the other side of the village.

It can be seen from the clothes that people in the village and outside the village, whether long-sleeved or short-sleeved, wear Lao Duipeng, but these few wear a mess, a red vest, a blue tunic, and a short-sleeved shirt with a wide open collar. He doesn't look like a villager.

The people in the village didn't make any fuss. They seemed to be used to it. There was no car to pick him up or drop him off under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

Chen Jisheng did not move forward and found a secluded Fangshan to lean on. In a short time, a gray-white medium-sized van stopped at the entrance of the village. Two men got out of it, one was the driver and the other was doing something unknown. .

When the bus arrived, Chen Jisheng also leaned over and listened to several people talking. He also knew the occupation of the other person, the conductor. After a while of bargaining, the eight people who came along gave three yuan. Chen Jisheng also leaned over and handed over a ticket. [-] dollar green Hong Kong paper.

The other party took two yuan and got eight yuan back. Chen Jisheng didn't know whether it was more or less, but he probably wanted more than enough.

Chen Jisheng was silent all the way in the car. Except for a few insignificant chats when getting on the car, everyone who came along also remained silent.

After arriving at the place, we waited for the bus, changed buses, and got on the bus. We didn’t arrive at Sha Tin until two o’clock in the afternoon. We had some food in Sha Tin and then changed to the checkered bus. The locals called it because there is a circle of black and white squares on the car body. Bar?

Shatin is considered a prosperous area. Apart from some buildings and a few more cars, there is nothing special about it. Chen Jisheng did not get into the checkered car. It would be too tiring to drive around like this, and he might not be able to reach Hong Kong Island tomorrow.

After walking around for a while, I saw a shop that exchanged currency. Chen Jisheng went over and exchanged some Hong Kong paper with a U.S. knife. There were also piles of U.S. knife in the warehouse, and it looked like there were thousands of them.

As I walked and looked around, I changed into a pair of trousers, a shirt, and leather sandals at a clothing store, which was considered as a way to blend in with the environment. I also bought two suitcases at a luggage store, and stopped to inquire about the news at the luggage store.

I went out and hired a taxi, negotiated the price with the driver, and set off directly to the ferry terminal. I will almost spend the night on Hong Kong Island tonight.

There are many cars in Hong Kong City, which is very good. The efficiency of life and work is much higher than that in [-] cities. Now is the development node of Hong Kong City, and I just take this opportunity to participate.

Chen Jisheng didn't know the time slot of the ferry, the driver should know that, judging from the increasing speed, he should be a bit rushed.

Traveling nearly [-] kilometers on the highway, Chen Jisheng became more careful and stopped thinking about complicated things. There were no airbags at this time of year, so he had to rely on hard collisions, which he couldn't withstand no matter how hard he tried.

While helping the driver look at the road, he glanced at the rapidly passing landscape outside. The infrastructure of the port city was good, and the roads were all new asphalt. Although the speed was fast, it was not very bumpy.

Driving all the way, Chen Jisheng discovered that cars are not very popular in the Hong Kong city. On the ferry from Sha Tin to Kowloon, except for limited blocks and intersections, the speed of the car is almost maintained at about [-] kilometers.

The driver was very skilled and nothing happened along the way. When it came time to check out at the ferry terminal, Chen Jisheng paid an extra tip and did as the Romans do.

The cost of the ferry is not high, but the condition is average, similar to that of a water bus, with rows of hard plywood seats. Looking at the Hong Kong Island in the evening from the open cabin, there are not many night lights on, but there is also a bustling atmosphere.

After getting off the ferry, he took a taxi and found a small hotel. After paying for the room, Chen Jisheng started to prepare some things.

First I filled a box of American knives. At first I thought a box would cost about 100 million, but I didn’t expect that the suitcase could hold quite a lot of money. It was stuffed full of 160 million.

I picked it up and tried it. It was a bit heavy. Fortunately, the quality of the suitcase was good. All the parts were made of pure copper. It should not fall apart halfway.

I chose a painting from Lao Liu Nong's calligraphy and painting porcelain, and from the special gift given by Meng Chenguang, I took a Chinese, a Panda, and two bottles of Maotai, and added some changes of clothes and other items, and it was full again. Another suitcase.

After finishing all this work, I made another can of canned beef, then started to wash up, and then put on the clothes of Sijiucheng. However, the military hook clothes were a little bit covering my feet. After a while, my feet became sweaty.
