Chapter 4

Ye Tianhui, holding the large stack of Hong Kong dollars and the bag of wife cakes, quickly left along the path.

When she followed Li San here just now, she was also paying attention to the terrain and the situation. Now she knew the distribution of the patrolmen around and knew how to avoid them to ensure that she would not be discovered.

She first found a remote corner, which was the corner formed by the old tile house and the new high-rise building next to it. The wall of the tile house was mottled and had a square area painted with white lime. It was densely written with black or blue traditional Chinese characters, all of which were advertisements.

Ye Tianhui opened the wife cake. The wife cake should have been crispy, but now it has been crushed a little, but it still tastes good, and it is sweet and fragrant inside.

There were four wife cakes in total, not very big, but Ye Tianhui was drooling over them.

She was full when she set out from Shekou, but she had been soaking in the sea water for almost half the night, and had already exhausted her physical strength. Afterwards, she was only thinking about contacting the snakehead, and was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she didn't dare to buy anything to eat. Now her stomach was empty.

She took the wife cake and couldn't wait to take a bite.

It was delicious and fragrant!

The feeling of eating with big mouthfuls was so satisfying, and the wife cakes that she didn't spend money to grab were even more fragrant!

After wolfing down, she ate two wife cakes, and her physical strength was replenished, and she felt much better.

While she was chewing the third one slowly and leisurely, she was thinking about the various things that had just happened to beat Li San.

In fact, she has been training herself these years, and would secretly practice martial arts in the morning or at night, so her physical fitness is not bad, but she has never been in actual combat, so she is unsure. Now she probably has an idea in her mind.

In her new life, her sword is still there. She doesn't have to be afraid of two wives and ten Li Sans in front of her!

At the same time, she thought that this is a peaceful and prosperous era after all, and people like her have no place to use their martial arts. Otherwise, even if she does nothing else,

she can still make a living by robbing houses and robbing the rich to help the poor. In Hong Kong, she can make a living with martial arts, such as being a thug in a casino or hotel, but she doesn't want to get involved with those people. After all, she still has to make money to support herself.

Otherwise, she just wanted to rely on that stupid biological father, who knows

if he is reliable or not. She has written so many letters to that biological father, but there is no reply. She doesn't know if he is playing dumb or he didn't receive it.

But no matter which one, it is not a good sign.

If he is playing dumb, it means that this biological father is heartless and ungrateful; if he didn't receive it, it means that the relationship of the Ye family is complicated.

Her letter was sent in, but it didn't reach the hands of the person concerned. There must be some reason. I'm afraid there is some interest conflict.

She thought of Ye Wenyin again. She

was only 18 years old, a very beautiful girl, a rich lady who grew up in the glamorous world of Hong Kong.

If she were to fight with bare hands or survive in a chaotic world, she would definitely not be able to compare with herself. However, when she came to this wealthy family, she was dressed up exquisitely and gorgeously to become a tool for wealthy marriages. She had an advantage over others in every way.

This kind of thing was not new to her. In her previous life, if she wanted to marry the son of a duke, it would be easy and she even had the opportunity to enter the

East Palace. In fact, if she had nodded, she might have had the opportunity to be the mother of the country. But she knew in her heart that she was not suitable for this kind of life. The comfort of being raised in a deep palace was not so easy to obtain. She had to abide by the behavioral norms that this world gave to women in the harem.

There is nothing new under the sun. Whether it is the Dazhao Kingdom where she lives, the mainland today, or the seemingly economically developed Hong Kong, the entire society operates according to this model.

So she knows very well that she can't do this kind of work.

In this regard, Ye Wenyin has a great advantage. She obviously meets the requirements of a wealthy family like the Ye family for a daughter. She can also do what they ask, such as marriage, to gain more benefits for the family.

If so, even if I come to the door, how will the Ye family treat me? I am afraid that they will disdain their daughter who is not up to standard, after all, they can't bring any benefits, or even refuse to recognize them at all?

Imagining this scene, Ye Tianhui couldn't say she was very disappointed. After all, she had the memory of her previous life. She was not a child who didn't know the world. In her heart, the word "father" was as heavy as a mountain. He was the iron-blooded general who fought in the north and south in her previous life.

As for her blood relatives in this life, she had never met them, so she didn't expect any family affection, and naturally didn't care too much.

When she thought about this, she had finished eating the third wife cake.

In fact, when she ate the first and second ones, they were so fragrant that she wanted to swallow them in one bite, but now she was a little thirsty after eating the third one.

But she didn't dare to buy water, so she could only bear it and look for a place to drink water after she finished eating.

While eating, she suddenly felt strange, a feeling of being watched.

She raised her eyes and followed the line of sight. She saw a trash can whose background could not be seen under the wall of the dull and old building. Behind the trash can, a head popped out.

It was a boy. The boy looked about twelve or thirteen years old. He was very thin and a little dark, but his eyes were dark and bright, like a pair of wolf eyes in the dark night, full of desire.

Ye Tianhui was very familiar with this kind of gaze. She had seen it in the eyes of displaced children and in the eyes of hungry soldiers.

Following his gaze, Ye Tianhui looked at the only wife cake left in her hand.

After being discovered by Ye Tianhui, the boy pursed his lips and then slowly retracted his gaze.

Ye Tianhui was silent for a moment before saying, "Do you want to eat it?"

The boy did not say anything.

Ye Tianhui added: "Actually, I have been hungry for a long time. I snatched these four wife cakes with my fists. Now I have eaten three and I am not so hungry anymore. If you are very hungry, then this one is for you."

After that, she stood up, wrapped the last wife cake in a plastic bag, and placed it on the trash can.

After that, she didn't say anything else and walked away.

When she walked to the side of the tile house and was about to turn, a very soft voice came from behind her: "Thank you."

The other party used Mandarin, but with some inland western accents.

The voice was very hoarse, like the sand in the desert, so dry that there was no moisture at all.

Ye Tianhui didn't look back and just walked away.

**********

This incident had obviously become a big deal. A large number of people rushed in like yellow water leaking through a building, and then gradually dispersed, so that the earthy gray and earthy yellow colors merged into the streets of Hong Kong.

Every household in the area had locked their doors, but those people walked on the street and still tried to knock on someone's door, begging for some food.

In some buildings, citizens would throw out some bread and clothes from the windows, which would be snatched away instantly, so some people would rush to that building and gather together. Naturally, the citizens were a little scared and did not dare to throw anything.

The Hong Kong government obviously could not accept so many people, so the local government sent police and Gurkhas to maintain order. The incident was reported on TV and radio news, and discussions could be heard in the streets.

Ye Tianhui hid on the roof of a bakery, and stole some bread and biscuits when no one was around, and also took some water to drink, and left them two Hong Kong dollars.

After getting these, she slipped to the second floor of another pharmacy, hiding in the attic to observe the situation outside.

Now a large number of people are pouring in, and the Hong Kong government has sent a large number of police to expel these people. In this situation, no matter how smart she is, there are certain risks.

So the best way is to avoid the limelight, and wait until a large number of people are repatriated. This is the time when the local police are most vigilant. She will then try to enter the police station on Boundary Street and enjoy the resistance policy.

Of course, there is a risk here, that is, the authorities may suddenly issue new laws to abolish the resistance policy.

Ye Tianhui took a bite of the egg tart she had just taken out of the oven. The egg tart tasted especially good, and paired with milk tea, it was absolutely amazing.

While eating, she also looked out the window through the narrow window.

Hong Kong has densely populated buildings, and she could only see a little bit of the starry sky cut out by the buildings of different heights. She could barely see three or five stars, and under the night sky, people brought their families and cuddled in the corners, or cried softly, or talked in a low voice, and the crowd was filled with despair.

Ye Tianhui stopped looking.

In her previous life, she had seen disasters and wars, and she had seen people displaced, and her heart had become very cold and hard.

If she was powerless to stop the riot, then she would not have the spare sympathy to feel sad.

She found a relatively flat and clean place and fell asleep there.

Because of what happened in her previous life, she was always alert when she slept, so she was not afraid to sleep here now. If there was any disturbance, she could wake up at any time.

She slept comfortably like this, and when she woke up again, she was awakened by a voice. Someone shouted "Food is being distributed" from below.

She got up, rubbed her eyes and looked out the window. It was already light, and the crowd was rushing to a place where the police were distributing food to everyone. There were bread and buns. Everyone who grabbed them gobbled them up, and someone shouted loudly, "Don't crowd, don't crowd, there's food."

Ye Tianhui was also a little hungry. She took advantage of the chaos downstairs and sneaked into a morning tea shop. She got some buns and roasted chicken. After leaving two Hong Kong dollars as usual, she returned to this resting place and had a big meal.

She stayed here quietly. When she was hungry, she went out to find food. When she was tired, she lay on the ground and took a nap.

As for the world downstairs, there were big changes in two days. Those people were first driven to a place and said they were going to be sent away. There were strong protests from the local citizens. It was said that more than half of the citizens at that time had blood ties with that place, so they naturally did not want to see this.

But it was obvious that the local government had made up its mind and even began to use batons to drive them away.

This triggered even stronger protests from the local citizens, and some righteous people stood up, formed organizations, rescued those people, and even formed a human wall to block the batons for those people.

Ye Tianhui watched this scene, she didn't quite understand why those people were like this, but she was a little moved in her heart.

Maybe this is blood is thicker than water.

She thought of her biological father again, and she became somewhat curious. If she appeared in front of him and told him that she was his daughter, what would he do? Would he continue to recognize Ye Wenyin, who had been raised since childhood, as his daughter, or would he like herself more?

Would he disown her because she was clumsy and could not bring benefits to the Ye family?

She found that she couldn't think of it. After all, she didn't know enough about many things in this world, so she had to stop thinking about it.

In the next few days, the incident became a big deal. A large number of media outlets came to report the incident. Reporters from newspapers and radio stations reported the incident one

after another. All the dance halls in the local city closed automatically and stopped all entertainment. Local families even stopped working and went out to the streets to protect the people who were lacking in food and clothing. Even where Ye Tianhui was hiding, she could hear some local people wiping their tears in front of the TV. Soon, most of those people were sent back, so Ye Tianhui saw desperate faces. Those people cried and were helpless, but they had to get on the transport trucks.

When the trucks drove out, local citizens were everywhere along the road. They desperately threw their clothes and food to the trucks, hoping to help them.

Just as the trucks were about to drive out, suddenly, a sea of ​​shouts came towards the convoy.

The police were all shocked.

Ye Tianhui looked over and saw a group of local citizens, tens of thousands of people, who rushed over in an organized manner, shouting and forming a human wall. They stood in the middle of the road and blocked the vehicles with their bodies.

Some people cried and screamed, and everyone shouted that they could not be driven out. Some people even lay in the middle of the road and could not get up. Amid the chaos of crying and sirens, the transport vehicles had to stop.

The scene suddenly became chaotic. The people in the cars cried and shouted not to leave, and the people under the cars swarmed over, shouted them out of the car, and led the people in the car to leave. The police stood there blankly, not knowing what to do, and did not dare to stop. Some police officers also wiped their tears when they saw this scene.

The scene was filled with an atmosphere full of simple and sad human emotions. The poor people on the truck were taken away by local citizens one after another, and the scene was completely out of control.

Ye Tianhui watched all this quietly from the side.

Perhaps it was because she had memories from her previous life, or perhaps her "mother" in this life was alienated and defensive towards her in her bones. She had never experienced any family affection or friendship in her life. She was also indifferent to this era and did not have a strong sense of integration.

As for coming to Guangdong and Hong Kong, she was also unfamiliar with the Cantonese dialect that she could not understand very well.

Because of the unfamiliarity, she would subconsciously feel that they were another kind of human beings, just a curtain of this world.

Just like she used to plan her battle plans, the mountains and camps were just chess pieces in her hands, and she could turn clouds and rain with a flip of her hand.

So she saw them, but she couldn't understand them, and she didn't feel any empathy for them.

In other words, there were almost no things that could arouse her deep emotions.

But looking at this scene, she had a strong sense of familiarity, and recalled some scenes from her previous life, those that had made her sad, inspired her, and made her travel thousands of miles under the stars with a long sword in hand.

She even felt faintly that the blood in her body, which had been dormant for a long time, was slowly warming up.

Ye Tianhui clenched her fists gently.

At this moment, she truly felt that Ye Tianhui was not dead, and she did not die after jumping into the sea.

She must still be alive.
