Chapter 494 Buying Tires to Conveniently Cross the Sea

Wang Jin was quite happy. Now they had 10 tires, which was equivalent to buying a layer of insurance.

"Everyone listen to me. Now go peel some bark to make ropes. We will tie up 10 tires and connect them together. Then we can put some branches on top to make a raft. This way we won't get lost while swimming in the sea."

When the others heard this, they nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's listen to Brother Jin."

Ten people worked together, some peeled the bark, some picked up branches. Huang Xiaoji was lucky and found two wooden boards, which could be used as oars.

Wang Jin also prepared a few wooden sticks so that he could defend himself if he encountered any bad guys after getting ashore.

There are actually countless illegal immigrants in the mangroves, including men, women, young and old, with all kinds of accents.

And many of them are retired soldiers recruited by Lin Sanqi.

But there were 10 people in Wang Jin's group, all of them were strong and looked tough, so no one dared to step forward to grab the tires.

Many people made up their minds and decided to quietly follow these 10 people at night, just in case these people had a better conscience and could help them.

Blackness began to cover the earth.

Wang Jin has been observing the situation on the sea. When the tide is high, the sound of the sea water is roaring. When the tide stabilizes, the water surface begins to calm down again.

Wang Jin knew that the time was almost up. The sky and the earth were dark and he couldn't tell east from west, south from north.

If you don't have a direction, it would be extremely difficult to cross the sea, because once you are on the sea, you will be swept away by the tides and you will not be able to tell the directions at all.

Not everyone looks for the North Star, and not everyone sees stars in the sky every night.

"Everyone, get ready. The tide is not rising anymore. We are ready to set off. Please note that we only have three hours to cross the sea. Now everyone count and confirm the number of people."

Lu Xuezhi, here you are!
Zhao Jintao, here you are!
Huang Hua, here!

……

Huang Xiaoji, here!"

"Okay, all ten of us brothers will be on this journey. Let's set off now. Once we reach Hong Kong, no one can be left behind. For the sake of our wives and children at home, we must succeed. Come on!"

"come on! Come on!!!"

Wang Jin and his companions pushed the temporary "raft" out of the mangroves. Everyone climbed on it, picked up the wooden boards and prepared to paddle south.

But after rowing for a few minutes, Liu Genchun exclaimed:
"Brother Jin, someone is holding onto our raft!"

Wang Jin gritted his teeth and thought that one more person wouldn't make much difference, and one less person wouldn't make much difference either, so forget it, just consider it as saving someone, and if someone wants a ride, then just give them a ride.

As a result, Zhao Jintao on the other side also shouted:

"Who are you? Don't touch our boat!"

There was a man in the water, and he begged for mercy: "Comrade, please be kind. I won't get on the raft. I will just hold on to the branches. Please take me across the sea."

"Brother Jin, there are also people holding our tires here."

Wang Jin woke up all of a sudden. Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, he could hear someone swimming towards their raft in the sea.

It was called a raft, but it was just 10 tires hastily put together. It was barely enough to carry 10 grown men, and if one or two more people could have taken it, people would have turned a blind eye.

But if dozens or even hundreds of people gather around and everyone wants to take a ride on their boat, there is only one outcome.

The raft would surely fall apart or sink, and no one would be able to escape.

Huang Hua was a little anxious and exclaimed: "Brother Jin, what should we do?"

Wang Jin took a deep breath, knowing that this was not the time to be soft-hearted, so he shouted to the refugees next to the raft:
"Let go, everyone. If you don't, we won't be polite!"

A man pleaded, "Comrade, please be kind and take me across the sea!"

There was a young woman's voice: "Comrade, take me across the sea, you can do whatever you want to me, I will be your wife!"

Another elderly voice also rang out: "We are all Chinese, we must unite!"

"Yeah, you can't be so selfish!"

"If we're going to leave, let's all leave together, please!"

Wang Jin's scalp went numb when he heard this. More and more people gathered around the raft, and the raft began to sway from side to side. It was obvious that it could not withstand everyone clinging to it.

"Brother Jin, what should we do?"

"Brother Jin..."

Wang Jin took a deep breath again and shouted:
"Fuck, beat them until they let go. Wang Can, Xiao Yu, Fan Dengfeng, Huang Hua, the three of you, row the boat hard and don't stop."

The biggest advantage of the soldiers is that they obey orders in everything they do. Wang Jin is now their "leader", and whatever the leader says is what they do.

Lu Xuezhi, Zhao Jintao, Shi Nan, Liu Genchun, Huang Xiaoji, and Wang Jin simultaneously raised the sticks and boards in their hands, gritted their teeth and began to smash down on the people clinging to the raft.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!”

"Oh, help, you can't do this!!!"

"You are so cruel. Are you going to watch us die!!!" "I have gold. Take me on board and I will give it all to you!!!"

Wang Jin gritted his teeth, veins popping out, "Smash it all! Smash it all down!"

Everyone on the raft went crazy, hitting people and rowing the boat like crazy, accompanied by crying, cursing and begging for mercy. It was nothing like hell on earth.

The raft was moving very slowly at first because there were too many people pulling it, and then it became lighter and lighter because there were too many people, so it had to let go.

Finally, the raft became lighter and it rushed out. Finally, there was no one clinging to it. Only the sound of the oars paddling quickly could be heard, rowing towards the boundless sea.

"Woooooo~~~"

On the raft, Huang Xiaoji, the youngest and the smallest, started crying.

Wang Jin sat on the raft, feeling as if he had lost half his life, and slapped himself hard twice.

Everyone was silent, because what happened today had far exceeded their values ​​and was completely contrary to what they were taught.

Zhao Jintao said softly:
"I have a pair of twin sons. They don't have enough to eat every day. They cry out with hunger. One time I saw them picking up sheep dung and eggs to eat. My wife was such a pretty girl before we got married. Now she has no breasts and no buttocks. She looks like a handful of bones.

I signed up to go to Hong Kong just for the money. With the money, I can buy food and clothes for my wife and children. I just want them to have enough food and clothes. I want them to live well. I want our family to be happy, without anyone missing out. "

Fan Dengfeng also said:

"When my mother was alive, she lay in bed, complaining of stomachache every day, asking us to save her. But I had no money, so I borrowed 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes from the village, hired a doctor, and took a lot of Chinese medicine, but it didn't work.

The doctor said it was intestinal abscess and that my mother had to be sent to the local hospital for surgery. But I had no money. I hadn’t returned the 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes and the village couldn’t lend me any more. Then my mother died in pain. I was unfilial and I didn’t need money.”

Shi Nan said weakly: "We did nothing wrong. We just wanted to live. We bought the tires. The money was given to us by Colonel Lin personally, not by the state."

"Yes, we did nothing wrong. For our wives and children, for our parents, we did nothing wrong!"

"It was just a close call, otherwise none of us would have been able to escape. If they want to survive, they should find a way themselves!"

Wang Jin took the wooden board from Wang Shen and shouted:

"Paddle hard towards the Xiangjiang River. We did nothing wrong. We just want to live and feed our families. We did nothing wrong!!!"

"I'll do it, row hard!"

"Change, I'll row!"

……

……

Three hours later, the raft finally docked in the New Territories.

Fortunately, there were 10 people taking turns rowing, and fortunately, these 10 people were all strong and healthy, otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people to persist in rowing for a full 3 hours.

Wang Jin felt that the raft had run aground. Knowing that he had reached the shore, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Brothers, with the blessing of our ancestors, we have finally arrived in Hong Kong."

Huang Xiaoji touched his sore shoulder and asked:

"Brother Jin, didn't you say it was only 5 kilometers? Why do I feel like it's already 15 kilometers?"

Wang Jin's mood had recovered and he replied with a smile:

"We don't understand the ocean currents in this bay, so we may have gone off course. But we have finally set foot on the land of Hong Kong. Our revolution is halfway to success."

"Yoho~~ Xiangjiang, here we come~~"

"Brothers, make money and get rich, and bring honor to your family."

"Hahaha~~~"

Wang Jin and his companions jumped off the raft while chatting and laughing, and waded through the sea and mountains towards the land.

"Everyone sit down and rest for a while."

Wang Jin gave the order, then took out a flashlight from his backpack, along with a map of Hong Kong provided by Lin Sanqi.

"Brothers, we have now arrived in Hong Kong. According to the map, we should be in Yuen Long, which is about 40 kilometers away from the urban area of ​​Kowloon.

Colonel Lin said that we can only apply for a Hong Kong identity card as refugees if we reach Kowloon or Hong Kong Island, so our next task is how to reach Kowloon.

My suggestion is that since Colonel Lin has not given us a time limit, we should try to find a place to rest during the day and start walking at night. This way we can pass through the layers of checkpoints and avoid being deported. What do you think? "

The others all expressed their opinions: "We will listen to Brother Jin."

"Okay, let's find an empty house first, or hide in the mountains, and then..."

"Who?"

Before Wang Jin finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and said, "Who is it? Come out." (End of this chapter)
