Chapter 151: Pretending to be an eloping couple, both parents are dead
The military district sent a plane to take them to Guangzhou, and they had to figure out the rest of the journey on their own.
"Our current identity is a couple who eloped from Nanyang and went to Hong Kong Island to make a living. We don't need to change our names."
After getting off the plane, Li Rong told them about their identities after arriving in Hong Kong Island. The military district helped them get identity documents for Nanyang.
"Why don't you agree? Is your family poor or mine?" Luo Xinxin asked curiously.
"The leader said that we can come up with the specific details on our own. Otherwise, you might say that your family is too poor and my family doesn't agree?" Li Rong asked.
"My family is a walking-style family, how could we be poor? It's your family that's poor. My snobbish grandparents don't agree."
Luo Xinxin doesn't like this setting. Why should she be Cinderella?
"Okay, I'm a poor boy, and you're a rich lady."
Li Rong is easy to talk to, it's all fake anyway.
After leaving the Yangcheng Military Region, the two men prepared to find a boat to smuggle across.
"I read in a book before that you can swim to the other side. Is that true?"
Luo Xinxin thought of the information she had read in her previous life. Many people swam across, but they were likely to encounter sharks, which was very dangerous.
"You can swim, but there are sharks."
If he were alone, Li Rong would definitely swim across by himself, but with Luo Xinxin, it would be safer to take a boat.
"I read in a book that taking a boat isn't necessarily safe. There's a high chance you'll run into ruthless human traffickers who'll sell beautiful women to nightclubs."
Luo Xinxin had read the memoirs written by people who had smuggled themselves to the other side of the strait before. Every word was filled with blood and tears. Many people died on the way to smuggling. Even if they succeeded in reaching the other side, they had no ID card and could only work secretly as illegal immigrants, doing the hardest, dirtiest and most tiring work, but the wages were the lowest and they might even be in arrears of wages.
No matter how they are bullied, illegal immigrants can only endure it. If they are caught by the police, they will be forced to return to the inland, and what awaits them will definitely not be a good thing.
"It's okay, the black eats the black."
Li Rong said it as if it was a matter of course.
Luo Xinxin's eyes lit up. It was better for the thieves to eat the thieves. Now she was actually looking forward to encountering the black-hearted snakehead.
It’s a pity that the captain Li Rong found was not a bad person. He was very enthusiastic and told them a lot of things to pay attention to when going to the other side.
"If you see the police during the day, don't hide. Walk openly. The more you hide, the more suspicious the police will be. If they ask you to stop, don't stop. Run as fast as you can, towards crowded areas. Don't get caught, or you'll be deported."
The captain was very talkative and shared a lot of experiences on living in Hong Kong Island. He also taught them where to rent a house to save money.
The reason why he knew this so clearly was because the captain's brother and his family were all in Hong Kong Island, and he was the one who sent them there personally. He was reluctant to leave his hometown, so he didn't go.
"The house over there is even smaller than my toilet. I can't breathe, the food is expensive, and there's no human touch. I still feel more comfortable at home."
The captain of the boat also went to the other side and saw his brother's family of five squeezed into a small house of about ten square meters. After he got there, he could only sleep on the floor, which was hard and cold. He would wake up with sore backs after sleeping all night, and he couldn't rest well at all. He didn't have the energy to go out and play during the day.
He was called over by his eldest brother and sister-in-law, who said there were many opportunities to make money across the street. As long as he was willing to work hard, he could make hundreds of times more money than in the village. When he made enough money, he would go back to his hometown to build a new house, marry his son, and save some money for retirement. He would definitely live a comfortable life.
After hearing this, he was very tempted, thinking that it would be quite cost-effective to suffer for ten years or so, earn enough money to spend for a lifetime, and then come back to retire. However, after going there, he realized that there are some hardships that he cannot endure even if he can earn mountains of gold and silver.
Besides, if you can’t sleep or eat well, it’s useless to make a lot of money. You’ll have the life to earn it but not the life to spend it!
"I stayed for three days and then came back. I had to pay for even a single scallion, and the water was not convenient. It was cut off every few days. The house stank, and I had no appetite for lobster and abalone. I might as well go back to my hometown and live in a big house, go fishing, grow vegetables, and raise two pigs. Life would be quite comfortable there."
When the captain talked about the Hong Kong Island across the street, his face was full of disgust. He couldn't understand why so many people would risk their lives to suffer there?
"I'm telling you the truth. Don't think there's gold to be found on the ground across the street. Every penny has to be earned through hard work. Money doesn't just fall from the sky. It's also very chaotic. The Axe Gang and the Green Gang are fighting in broad daylight, and there are unidentified corpses in the alley. If you regret it, I'll turn around and charge you one-third of the money."
The captain was really worried about the young couple. Both the man and the woman were so good-looking. If they went to the other side, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. There would be no coming back!
"Uncle, there's no way we can survive if we go back."
Luo Xinxin smiled bitterly and pinched her thigh, trying to squeeze out some tears to make it more realistic, but she couldn't bear to do it herself, and it didn't hurt even after pinching it several times.
Li Rong, who was standing next to her, saw this and secretly reached out to pinch her arm.
A sharp pain came, Luo Xinxin almost cried out, tears immediately flowed out, it was worse than the death of her parents.
"Don't cry, girl. What happened to you?"
The captain was panicked. It was such a sin to see the pretty little girl crying so miserably!
"Uncle, I... our background is not good. My father jumped from the building, my mother hanged herself, and his parents took poison. We are the only two left at home..."
Luo Xinxin's tears burst out. It was so painful. She wanted to go back and settle the score with that bastard.
Li Rong, who had been feeling a little guilty for being too harsh, immediately felt relieved after hearing these words.
His father was in his prime, and his mother was middle-aged, and they were both living well, but this woman said they were dead.
Two lives in exchange for this fight, it's even!
In order to cooperate with Luo Xinxin's performance, Li Rong also lowered his head sadly, but his tears simply could not flow.
A piercing pain came from his arm, as if he was stabbed by a knife. He gritted his teeth to prevent himself from crying out. His face felt hot and wet, and tears finally flowed.
Luo Xinxin quietly put away the needle she used to sew the quilt. It was thick and sharp, and she didn't hold back at all when she did it, so blood was definitely drawn.
The two of them didn't say anything, just shed tears silently, which made the captain sigh repeatedly.
The whole family is dead, what a sin!
The captain didn't say anything else during the rest of the journey. The boat was unusually quiet, with only the sound of oars paddling.
The two people in the cabin glared at each other with gritted teeth. There was only a dim oil lamp in the cabin, and the flickering light did not illuminate clearly, but Li Rong could clearly feel the anger of the woman opposite him.
He silently stretched out his arm and rolled up his sleeves. There was a pool of blood on his strong arm, and blood was still oozing out, which showed how deep the woman had stabbed him.
What a vicious person!
Luo Xinxin sneered silently. She also stretched out her arm and rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and slender arm. A large bruise was clearly visible. Compared to the small ball of blood, her injury was much more shocking, and it looked like a scene of domestic violence.
A dog man with a black heart and even blacker hands!
Li Rong was originally feeling righteous, but after seeing the bruise, his confidence was gone. He withdrew his hand guiltily, looking left and right, but he didn't dare to look at Luo Xinxin opposite him.
