Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 294, Arrival at Hong Kong Island

Although it was dark at night, one could still vaguely see the silhouettes of rowing boats approaching on the river.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu~"

When the other ship approached, people around started shouting.

"This way, this way."

All of a sudden, fires and lights began to appear all around.

Wang Qingsong looked around and saw several gathering points not far away, each with a lot of people.

The closest one was less than ten meters away from him.

No wonder I didn’t see anyone when I went to Zhou Ying’s side as a springboard just now.

Out of range.

The boatman shone his flashlight over the crowd.

There were about six or seven people in the grass, carrying bags and looking dishevelled.

The expression was pleading and nervous.

"Take me with you!"

“I want to go over there.”

……

Shouted anxiously for a while.

There was a man on the boat wearing a white vest, and you could vaguely see that he had a short haircut.

The other party glanced at him and whispered, "Stop making noise!"

(Covering my face, I have to explain that I wrote this Cantonese after looking it up and based on the pronunciation. Many sounds cannot be typed, so just give the meaning. Bear with it for now, and try not to write it later.)
After the rower finished speaking, the crowd stopped making noise and he continued, "Do you know the rules?"

"Oh my god! Forty-eight dollars, I have it (I know, four hundred dollars, I have it)"

One of them quickly took out the money and handed it to the man holding the flashlight.

The man took the money, counted it, put it away, and waved at him.

"Let's get on board!"

"Hey, okay, thank you, thank you."

The man happily boarded the boat, and soon three more people followed.

At this time, there were still three people left, obviously without money, and they were communicating there.

Although Wang Qingsong couldn't fully understand the conversation, he could roughly guess a little bit.

I guess the three of them have no money!
In the end, you have to force it.

As a result, one of them was thrown into the river and the boat was rowed away.

Very indifferent.

No one cared about the person who fell into the river and called for help.

This is a wooden boat.

"Brother, Brother!"

There were two people left, and one of the girls was screaming. It was obvious that the person who fell into the water couldn't swim, and neither could she.

There was also a young man next to him.

He remained indifferent to his sister's cries for help.

Instead, he grabbed the barbed wire on the shore and left.

Wang Qingsong looked at the other party rushing towards him, and then looked at the young man struggling in the lake.

After a brief hesitation, he dived into the water and swam towards the young man.

The river bank is full of silt. If you don't dive in, you will soon sink into it.

It was less than ten meters away, and he quickly swam over in a dog-paddle style.

"Hold him!"

He held a stick in his hand and handed it to the other party.

He didn't dare to go and rescue people directly. If he was dragged away by someone, it would be troublesome.

But it's not a big problem.

If he sank into the water, he could go to Zhou Ying's side.

The other person grabbed the branch as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Wang Qingsong instantly felt himself being held down by a strong force.

With a strong pull, he loosened the branch to relieve himself of the force, then kicked the water hard to float back to the surface.

Then pull the other person hard.

It was only a few meters away and he quickly pulled it to the shore.

"Brother, Brother!"

The girl on the shore reached out and pulled her brother up.

But he did not forget to reach out and pull up Wang Qingsong who was following behind.

"Ugh~ cough~"

After the young man got ashore, he started coughing and vomiting.

"Brother, are you okay?"

The girl didn't have time to care about Wang Qingsong and looked at her brother worriedly.

At this time, the flashlight in the girl's hand, which was already flickering, gradually went out.

Once again fell into darkness.

After a long while, the young man finally recovered and said to the darkness: "Thank you Lei for saving me."

Wang Qingsong knew that this was probably directed at him.

Said: "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you said. But I'm glad that you are okay."

As soon as these words came out, the young man spoke again: "Thank you for saving me. Are you going to Hong Kong Island too?"

With the local accent and intonation of Cantonese.

But this time he obviously understood.

Wang Qingsong was relieved to see that they could communicate and said with a smile: "Well, I'm going there too. Where are you from? How do you get here?"

Doesn’t he remember that the bridge was open to traffic these days?

His eyes turned towards the departing ship.

The boat stopped at several points several times, and then nodded and swam towards the center of the river. It was obviously full of people.

The girl next to her didn't say anything.

Seeing this, the young man said: "We are from Huizhou..."

Let me tell you the general situation.

Wang Qingsong also knew the general situation of the two people.

The older brother is Li Sichen, 20 years old, and the younger sister is Li Siying, 15 years old.

Both of them are from Huizhou, but in Huizhou North.

Huizhou is not a city but a prefecture, and Bao'an County also belongs to Huizhou.

There is no one left at home for the brother and sister, but there are still uncles and aunts.

This time I went there to seek refuge with my uncle who lived in Hong Kong Island.

And the four hundred dollars mentioned before.

It is RMB 400 or HKD 400 per person.

The person who picks people up is called a snakehead. He is the person from the opposite side and has been specializing in this business over the years.

Wang Qingsong was also surprised.

Four hundred yuan is a huge sum of money for ordinary people who have not yet gone through difficult times.

As for why only HK$2.42 was charged when the exchange rate was .

That is because compulsory foreign exchange settlement is now implemented, and ordinary people basically have little foreign exchange. After remitting foreign exchange, they can only get the corresponding RMB and overseas remittance coupons in the bank.

So the price on the black market is very high.

And these human traffickers will take them to the city.

Because many places on the other side are mudflats, you can't walk normally everywhere.

Moreover, there are very few policemen in the places where the human traffickers lead.

It is easier to get to the city.

As for the so-called Queen's birthday and three days of amnesty, they are all fake.

But it’s true that a lot of people came.

There are hundreds of thousands of people.

Moreover, the other party has a refugee camp in Hong Kong Island, and they will arrange registration after you arrive.

If there are people living in Hong Kong Island, their relatives can come and pick them up, and those who don’t have any will be arranged to live in various major factory areas.

Or if you are able, you can go directly to the police station in the city area to complete the registration procedures.

And Wang Qingsong naturally would not report Wang Qingsong's name.

Wang Zixuan.

It was the alias he had used before.

Wang Qingsong thought about it and originally planned to swim there alone and then drive to the city.

But now I think it’s too troublesome.

He was not clear about the situation on the other side, and what people called the urban area was actually Boundary Street in Kowloon.

It is 45 kilometers away from here.

Most of the road is mountainous, the road conditions are very complicated, and there are roadblocks along the way.

The energy in his Bagua Mirror was still sufficient, but it could not withstand such consumption.

And after going there, language communication becomes a problem.

We're going there anyway, so we might as well go together. At least we'll have someone we're semi-acquainted with when we get there!

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "How about? Let's go together!"

If the other party is unwilling, he doesn't care. He just comes here to see the world.

Li Sichen was embarrassed for a moment: "My sister and I can't swim!"

"No, wait for me!"

After Wang Qingsong finished speaking, he walked to the edge, grabbed the wire mesh, and stepped on the edge where he could barely put his feet down.

Back to the previous enemy.

Li Sichen and his sister felt strange for a while.

But he didn't say anything and just waited quietly.

Both of them hoped that someone would take them there first and then give the money to the human snakehead.

If it really doesn't work, we can only follow the main force and rush over during the day.

……

Wang Qingsong returned to his side, took advantage of the darkness to leave the place and returned to Zhou Ying's side.

When I came back, Zhou Ying had already gone to work.

At this time, my body was covered with mud and I was naturally soaked.

While going to the bathroom, he made a phone call and went out.

The call was connected after a while.

"Hey, boss, you finally care about your employees! I replaced all the things in your room with fake ones."

Zhou Ying's teasing voice came from the phone.

While taking off his clothes, Wang Qingsong said, "I have something to talk to you about!"

"Ah, what is it?"

When Zhou Ying heard that something was wrong, she stopped joking.

Before Wang Qingsong took off his underwear, he took another look.

After confirming it was a phone call, he took off his clothes and said, "It's like this, I remember a store we went to last time seemed to have old Hong Kong dollars, can you help me ask how much it is, I want some."

"The old one? When?"

"Anything before 1962 will do! It can't be too old, preferably 59, 60, or 61. I'm in a hurry, please ask for me, hurry up."

He also checked the Hong Kong dollar on the Internet, but he couldn't find the year of issuance.

If it’s not expensive, you can buy some and use it first.

"Oh, okay! Let me ask you, how much do you want? If you want more, I can give you a discount!"

"Ten thousand, maybe! Let's ask the price first. Oh, and I want it to be about 70% to 80% new, not too new."

"it is good!"

Then he hung up the phone.

Wang Qingsong looked at his cell phone, threw it aside and started taking a shower.

I had just washed my hair when the phone rang.

While wiping his hair, he asked, "Is there?"

"I asked, yes! There are coins from the 60s, but there aren't that many, only a few hundred, and each one costs 20 yuan."

"Where are the banknotes?"

“纸币有汇丰银行59、60这两年发行的10元港币，你如果要1万的话，12块钱一张。”

"Is it so expensive?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ying burst out laughing: "I asked too, and they said that your three-dollar bill is worth his ten thousand yuan."

Wang Qingsong smiled when he heard this.

Yes, the three yuan notes I sold to them cost tens of thousands of yuan each.

I didn't worry about it anymore.

He said directly: "You, go and get someone to bring the things to me. I'll wait at home. I want banknotes. Both 59 and 60 will do."

Just get a little bit first.

When you get there, there will be plenty of ways to get money.

"Okay, I get it. I'll definitely be there in an hour."

After that, he hung up the phone.

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong put his phone aside and continued taking a shower.

After washing and cleaning, he came to the main room, took out a roast duck he had bought earlier, and started eating there.

Meituan’s errand service is fast, and someone knocked on the door soon.

Wang Qingsong went over and opened the door, and it was the delivery man.

Took the things and went back to the room.

Open the cardboard box.

Inside was a pile of coins sealed in a ziplock bag.

Take it apart and see that the numbers are not consecutive.

Some are from 59 and some are from 60.

It should be fine.

After putting away the things and the garbage left after eating the roast duck, he left. It was less than ten minutes since he had been to the river.

As for the dirty clothes, they naturally have to be stuffed into the luggage, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.

You can't just throw it away if it gets wet.

Quietly came back here again.

"Okay, change your clothes, you'll be more comfortable."

And Li Sichen was still wearing wet clothes.

Turning on the flashlight, Wang Qingsong began to look at the two of them.

They both have handsome features, but are a little dark.

The man was about 1.75 meters tall and a bit thin.

The girl was wearing a floral shirt, black pants, and had two ponytails placed on her chest.

"Brother, you don't look that old, do you?"

Li Sichen looked at him and asked with a smile.

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "19. By the way, you said someone would come to pick us up soon, right? We will take the snakehead's car over there. I will lend you the money, and you can pay me back when we get there. Is that ok?"

The RMB in my hand are all three-yuan notes with consecutive numbers.

I don't really want to give it to others.

Just happened to buy some Hong Kong dollars for use.

This made Li Sicheng excited: "Really? It's just a question. I will definitely pay it back!"

Wang Qingsong nodded when he saw this: "Okay, we'll wait here."

There are not just one or two snakeheads.

There are many people doing this business in this area, and the profits are huge.

At this time, his eyes looked towards the river.

Because there was a boat coming along the shore not far away.

A bit of distance.

"Someone is coming."

Li Sichen looked at the boat and said happily.

Wang Qingsong nodded and looked at the boat.

The other party might have gone to pick someone up, and it took a long time for him to come closer.

Wang Qingsong turned on the light.

When Li Sicheng saw the other party coming, he immediately shouted: "Daigao, we want to go to the other side, can you take us there?"

There were already quite a few people on the boat at this time.

Hearing this, the other party slowed down.

"450 dollars!"

These words made Li Sicheng frown.

“Isn’t it 400?”

The leader was a scarred man. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "450, get to Tai Po safely. No matter if you want to go, we're leaving."

Hearing this, Li Sichen looked at Wang Qingsong.

Fifty is not a small amount.

Wang Qingsong looked at the people on the boat and nodded gently: "Okay!"

As he spoke, he took out the money and handed it to the other party.

Tai Po is the nearest district to here.

Scarface took the money, counted it, licked his back teeth, and didn't look like a good person.

Make sure there's no problem.

He then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, it's full, A Biao, let's go directly to the dock."

Seeing this, Li Sichen hurriedly said, "Let's go, go up!"

Then the three of them got on the boat.

There were already three people on the boat at this time, plus what appeared to be the boatman and the thugs, a total of six people.

Including the three people, there are nine people.

Very crowded.

Barely squatting there.

All the lights on the boat were turned off, and we navigated by feel.

However, when they were almost at the other side, the oil lamps on the boat were lit again.

In the middle, we saw a few boats with people on board.

This shows how prosperous the business is now.

……

At this time, Wang Qingsong and his companions saw several people on the boat. They were either young or middle-aged, and basically all of them were men.

The woman didn’t see it.

There was only one girl, Li Siying, who huddled her head in Li Sichen's arm, looking a little scared.

Because Scar actually had a gun in his hand.

At this time, there was a crew member in the boat, about twenty years old.

His eyes scanned the group of people.

He looked at the bag on Wang Qingsong's body.

He came over and whispered to Scarface.

When Scar heard this, an invisible light flashed in his calm eyes and he looked at the man deeply.

The other party smiled awkwardly.

Nothing more was said.

……

The boat sailed along the shore for more than twenty minutes and finally stopped at a simple wooden pier.

It's very lively here.

Many ships disembark here.

Scarface looked at the people on the boat and said, "Someone will take you to Tai Po. Don't worry. You can ask around. I, Scarface, still have some credibility..."

After that, he said to the people on the shore: "Jimao, take them to Dapu! Be careful on the road!"

A man on the shore agreed after hearing this.

He said to Wang Qingsong and the others: "Let's go, follow me!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Qingsong and his companions followed the direction towards the nearby woods, ignoring the people here.

After everyone left, Scar said to the person who had just reported him, "Guang, you don't have to run tonight. Go back first!"

"Brother Dao?"

The young man was anxious.

But Scar ignored him and said to the rower, "Let's go! It's almost time to stop after one more trip. The green ghosts will soon come out."

There were only two people left on the boat at this time.

A Biao wanted to say something but hesitated, but still rowed the boat obediently.

After walking a little further, Ah Biao asked, "Brother Dao..."

Scarface glanced at him and said calmly, "A Biao, you introduced A Guang here, so he doesn't need to come tomorrow."

Then he explained: "Some of the money we can take, some we can't. We pick up and drop off so many people every day, who knows if there will be people among them whom we can't afford to offend in the future?"

After hearing what he said, A Biao thought about it.

"Got it, Brother Dao."

In the end, he didn't say anything, but just agreed and continued sailing.

……

Wang Qingsong and his group arrived at the shore and a car stopped by the side.

"Big B!"

The skinny chicken feather came to the car and knocked on the door.

Then I saw the car start and the lights inside the car came on.

The car door opened, and a young man in a Hawaiian shirt yawned and sat in the driver's seat.

"Hey! Pretty girl!"

When he saw Li Siying, Big B's eyes lit up and he shouted.

Li Siying was so scared that she hid behind Li Sichen.

After Ji Mao came up, he hit Da B on the back of the head and said, "Be quiet and stop talking nonsense! Brother Dao will scold you again if he finds out."

Big B smiled nonchalantly.

But he didn't say anything else.

Ji Mao urged, "Hurry up and get in the car, it's leaving soon."

This is a very small car that can probably seat five or six people.

There were more than ten people crammed in at once, and it suddenly became a bit crowded.

As soon as people got in, the car door was closed and the car started to bump through the woods.

The car made a rumbling sound and was obviously struggling.

Wang Qingsong and the other two were squeezed in the crowd.

Li Siying was standing by the car window under the protection of her brother.

Before we arrived, people were still a little nervous and no one said anything.

I just heard Ji Mao and Da B chatting there.

It was already around four in the morning.

The car twisted and turned on the mountain road for more than an hour, and around half past five, the car finally arrived at the edge of a block.

Ji Mao smiled and said, "Okay, we've arrived at Dapu, we can get off now."

Hearing this, everyone looked outside.

Get off the bus quickly.

The car just left.

There was already a breakfast shop open nearby, and these people were not surprised by their arrival.

Just took a look.

At this time, there were many people in tattered clothes and in a disheveled state on the sides and corners of the streets.

Just lie on the ground and sleep.

Li Sichen looked at the sign on the street and said to Wang Qingsong, "It's Dapu. We've arrived. We're safe now."

There are many arrests along the way, so all you have to do here is avoid the inspection.

After all, police force is limited.

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong nodded slightly.

Looked around.

The street is very small, with three or four-story buildings on both sides, and many commercial signs hanging on the protruding parts.

There are also a lot of clothes hung on bamboo poles.

There are already some breakfast stalls open for business on the street.

At this time, the sky was slightly brighter.

Women wearing cheongsams were shopping there.

Is this the city?
It doesn’t seem to be that good!

But he knew that the real prosperous area was in Central and around Victoria Harbour.

He took a quick look, then turned around and smiled, "Didn't you say your uncle was right here? Do you know the way?"

With someone here as a guarantor, you can go directly.

Li Sichen nodded happily: "I don't know, but I can ask for directions here. My father brought me here once when I was a child."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong nodded gently: "Then go and ask!"

Seeing this, Li Sichen happily went to the side of the street to find someone to ask.

Li Siying stood there carefully, looking at Wang Qingsong curiously but was too embarrassed to speak.

Wang Qingsong looked at the stall next to him.

He smiled at Li Siying and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's go over and take a look!"

Li Siying looked in the direction of her brother, hesitated for a moment, and finally followed carefully.

After Wang Qingsong came over, he looked at the stall and said with a smile: "Uncle, how much is this?"

The person doing the work was an old man in his fifties.

Hearing the sound, the other party looked up at him and said, "Sahao. Would you like to have the egg?"

Li Siying looked at the bewildered Wang Qingsong and said quickly, "This is my fried dough sticks. They are 3 cents each. The 3 cents here is 3 cents in our area. Do you want to add an egg?"

"Oh, how much?"

An egg costs 2 cents.

Add an egg, the total is 50 cents.

I ordered three servings.

The total amount is one dollar and fifty cents.

Gave the money and waited there.

I was silently estimating in my heart.

The salary here is about a hundred yuan a month, but the prices are two or three times higher than over there.

No tickets are required except for buying things and the quantity is fixed.

In fact, it’s not much better than the mainland!
However, he has checked the information and feels that the gap is not particularly large now, but there has been basically no major changes in the mainland in the past 20 to 30 years.

However, Hong Kong Island has been undergoing tremendous changes in the past two or three decades.

There were people drinking tea next to the stall.

There are not many people, all of them are old men.

Soon a portion of Ou'ajian was ready, and Wang Qingsong started eating without hesitation.

Ah!
Very delicious.

Then I ordered a few more.

Too small, not enough to eat.

Li Siying was indeed very hungry, so she took the second one and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Wang Qingsong turned his gaze to Li Sichen who was walking towards him.

He knew there was a Tai Po Market Station here with trains going directly to Kowloon.

If that didn't work, he would go directly to the train station, sneak into the station, and then go directly to Kowloon and come out.

He is short of time and there is no need to waste time here.
