A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 493: Veterans Prepare to Depart

"By the way, big brother, why didn't father and mother come?"

Lin Hongcan looked at everyone in the Lin family and felt a little disappointed.

Lin Sanqi stepped forward and explained:

"Uncle Wu, grandpa and grandma said that it's hard to leave their hometown. They are old and don't want to die in a foreign land, so they insisted on staying in the mainland and didn't want to come to Hong Kong with us.

But don't worry, my second uncle, third uncle, and fourth uncle are all here. Also, I left them enough food coupons and money before I left, so they won't have any difficulty in life."

In fact, Lin Sanqi knew that the old man was unhappy and said that his three sons should not occupy the old man’s house.

But after the old man really drove the three younger brothers out of the small Western-style house, he began to resent his eldest son, thinking that his family should not be so heartless and disregard family affection.

So when faced with the invitation from his eldest son and daughter-in-law to go to Hong Kong to enjoy life, he simply refused.

Upon hearing this, Lin Hongcan and Lin Xuancan sighed in unison. A conscientious son would always worry about his parents, but now they were separated by two places and there was nothing they could do.

Unlike Lin Kucan's family, they passed the customs normally and can go back later.

The families of Lin Hongcan and Lin Xuancan smuggled into Hong Kong. Given the current situation, it is basically impossible for them to return to the mainland, and they will never see their parents again.

Lin Sanqi hugged his fifth and sixth uncles and said with a smile:
"Okay, you are sons and you should respect your parents. The three uncles in the mainland are also their own sons and they will not ignore the elderly. Besides, I am still here. I am going back to the mainland and I will not ignore the elderly.

In the future, you can send more money back and bring the elderly over when you have the chance.

Today our whole family has arrived in Hong Kong, which is a happy thing. Let's go find a seafood restaurant and have a good meal, which can be regarded as a welcome. "

When Lin Hongcan and Lin Xuancan heard this, their expressions turned from gloomy to bright:
"Yes, it's good that big brother and big sister-in-law are here. We now have a backbone. Our three families have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering and gained a new life. It is indeed a cause for celebration, haha."

Lin Sanqi was so scared that he quickly covered his mouth:
"You can't say that. We have to stick to the main theme, otherwise we will be reported by readers again."

The Lin family reached Hong Kong through normal customs procedures. After arriving in Hong Kong, they went directly to the police station to apply for an identity card as a refugee.

For the 500 veterans, the journey to Hong Kong was quite bumpy.

In order to prevent the Hong Kong Eagle government from discovering any abnormalities, these 500 people, after receiving the travel expenses, all need to set out from Huadu on their own, then rush to Bao'an County, Zhongshan County, etc. on the border, and then find a way to go to Hong Kong on their own.

It all depends on each person's ability, and everyone should show what he or she has.

Of course, the relevant departments will still provide some conveniences, such as redeploying the militia and garrison troops patrolling along the road in advance so that they can reach the border area smoothly.

If they are unlucky and get caught along the way, people from the relevant departments will release them in secret and let them continue on their way.

Of course, Lin Sanqi also intended to test these veterans.

If they can't even reach Hong Kong, then we can only say that some of the veterans are parallel imports.

It doesn't matter if we don't have the parallel imports, it's just a good opportunity to eliminate a group of people.

Wang Jin, Lu Xuezhi, Zhao Jintao, Wang Can, Shi Nan, Liu Genchun, Xiao Yu, Fan Dengfeng, Huang Hua and Huang Xiaoji are all from Shuangxi Commune in Heping County and are typical rural party members.

So these 10 people decided to unify their activities so that they could take care of each other. Among them, the oldest one, Wang Jin, was appointed as the temporary team leader.

After walking for two consecutive nights, the 10 people successfully arrived at Houhai Bay (Shenzhen Bay) on the third night and hid in the mangroves by the sea.

Wang Jin wore a straw hat made of branches on his head and covered himself with leaves, which looked like a camouflage suit. The purpose of this was to hide.

He stood on the top of a tree and observed for two days and two nights. He had a clear idea of ​​the situation and then discussed countermeasures with his fellow villagers.

"First, check the distance. It's about 10 miles to the other side, which is neither too far nor too close. It's a test of your physical strength, so it's best to use tools.

There is no problem for the eight of us. Huang Hua and Huang Xiaoji are poor swimmers and definitely cannot swim across without tools. This is the first thing to pay attention to.

In addition, the border guards in Bao'an County are temporarily not patrolling. This should be due to instructions from their superiors, which indirectly provides us with convenience, but we have to worry about the Xiangjiang side.

I observed that there were five small warships patrolling the sea surface for a long time during the day, so it was obvious that we had no chance to swim over during the day. Our only chance was at night.

I calculated last night that the high tide time is about 7 o'clock in the evening and the low tide time is about 12:30. When the tide is high and low, the water is turbulent and the undercurrent is surging, which is the most dangerous time.

So we have to swim in the sea, and the best time is between 9 and 11 at night."

Huang Hua raised his hand somewhat embarrassedly:

"Brother Jin, my brother Xiaoji and I...sigh, will we be a burden to everyone?..."

Wang Jin patted Huang Hua and Huang Xiaoji on the shoulders and comforted them:

"There are always more solutions than problems. Since we have already reached the beach, there is no reason to let the two of you go home. The ten of us are one, and we advance and retreat together."

Lu Xuezhi laughed and said, "That's right. Even if we have eight people, we will drag you across the sea. Don't worry."

Zhao Jintao also comforted:
"We have money now, let's see if there is a chance to buy some car tires. This way we will be safe. After all, it's 5 kilometers of sea surface. I heard that more than tens of thousands of people have died here." There are no bubbles or swimming rings these days. If we really want to count, we can only build a raft, but no one has any tools, so it is obviously impossible.

Just as they were discussing, they suddenly heard the sound of a diesel engine slowly coming from the seaside.

As they drove, someone was calling out softly:
"My friend, does anyone want to buy tires? My friend, does anyone want to buy tires?"

Wang Jin and his companions looked at each other in disbelief. In such a dangerous place like the border between two places, there are actually people selling tires?

In fact, they had no idea that these people selling tires were actually gangs from the New Territories, and the real boss behind them was the Hong Kong Coast Guard.

These gang members sell tires on the mainland, and then when the sea travelers successfully arrive in the New Territories, the tires are thrown away when they are no longer useful, and they can pick them up and continue to sell them.

If someone drowns while swimming, the tire will not sink and can be salvaged from the sea and still sold.

This is simply a business with no capital investment and huge profits.

Of course, the coast guard takes a large portion of the money earned, otherwise people will not let you do this business. After all, the monopoly of the sea is in the hands of the Hong Kong coast guard.

As for the mainland, there are no ships. Even if they are discovered by the mainland militia, they can escape to the sea by motorboat and cannot be caught.

When Huang Hua heard someone selling tires, he thought that this must be Qiao'er's mother opening the door for Qiao'er, and Qiao had finally arrived.

At this time, not only the refugees fleeing to Hong Kong who were lurking in the mangroves but also surfaced one by one, looking at the diesel boat in surprise.

Huang Hua also shouted anxiously, "Hey, the tire seller!"

Deng An, the leader of the diesel boat, heard this and used a pole to secure the boat. He then asked with a smile:

"Handsome boy, buying tires?"

"Comrade, how much is one of your tires?"

Deng An held up a finger and said, "100 Hong Kong dollars each, no cheating."

As soon as these words fell, bursts of coughing were heard in the mangroves. Obviously, this number scared the refugees, and many of them continued to hide in the woods in disappointment.

If they had money, would they flee to Hong Kong?

When Huang Hua heard that a tire cost 100 Hong Kong dollars, he felt very distressed. He worked hard on the farm in his hometown all year round, but his annual income did not exceed 20 yuan.

Deng An was also a smart man. Seeing that the other party did not shake his head and say no, but was hesitant, he knew that the other party must have money in his pocket, so he decided to trick him:
"Handsome boy, do you want to buy some? Let me tell you, we are the only one selling tires in Houhai Bay. You can't buy them anywhere else. And let me tell you, there are a lot of undercurrents in Houhai Bay. It's hard for ordinary people to make it to the other side. So this is not 100 Hong Kong dollars, this is a life."

Huang Hua and Huang Xiaoji were still hesitating, and Wang Jin stood up:
"This person is right. We are going to Hong Kong to make a lot of money. We should not worry about the gains and losses in the present. As long as we arrive in Hong Kong safely, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. So I suggest that each of us buy a tire. Ensuring our own safety is the most important thing."

Since Wang Jin said so, the others did not object and all nodded in agreement.

If you swim 5 kilometers in one breath and the ocean current carries you away, or the route deviates a little, you may have to swim more than 10 kilometers. Without tires, you will be dead and helpless.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Wang Jin shouted to the seller:

"Comrade, we want 10 tires, please give us a cheaper price."

"Oh, that's a lot. OK, handsome boy, I'll give you 90 yuan each. That's the discounted floor price. Don't hesitate. We can't stay here for long."

Wang Jin lowered his head and asked his fellow villager, "Will you buy it?"

"purchase!"

"buy it!"

"Okay, comrade, give us ten tires, fully inflated."

After saying that, Wang Jin counted out 9 Hong Kong dollars from his oilcloth bag and handed them over.

Crossing the sea would get you wet, so the 10 Shuangxi veterans collected all their money and gave it to Wang Jin, the person they trusted the most, and then wrapped it in oil paper picked up on the road.

When Wang Jin was counting the money, a full 1 Hong Kong dollars was accidentally exposed. It has to be said that the veteran's mind is still quite simple.

Who is Deng An? His eyes are sharper than a ghost. He just took a quick glance and was overjoyed, thinking that these people are still big fat sheep.
Deng An remained calm and threw 10 old tires over from the boat. If nothing unexpected happened, these tires were sold in the afternoon and would be back in their hands that evening.

He also remembered the appearance of these 10 fat sheep. Nowadays, there are almost no illegal immigrants who can afford 10 tires, and those who are really rich will not swim around. Wouldn't it be safer to just find a human smuggler and take a boat over there?

So Deng An planned to arrange people at night, and after these 10 Yankees came ashore, he would take away all their money.

Robbery is a common practice among gang members. It has always been successful and is another way for them to make money.

But what Deng An didn't expect was that if nothing unexpected happened, an accident would happen. (End of this chapter)
