Southerners long to see snow.
People from inland areas long to see the sea.
People in Sichuan yearn for plains.
People everywhere are interested in things they've never seen before.
Veronica Yip is from Central China Province. She rarely leaves Central China Province and has never seen the sea.
Because after Lin Yifeng brought her to the beach in the middle of the night, she actually squatted down like a little girl and touched seashells on the sand.
This behavior is childish, but Veronica Yip enjoys it immensely. She even asks Lam Yat-fung to slow down so she can pick up a couple more seashells.
"Stop playing around. The beach here isn't very nice and isn't suitable for playing. If you really like the sea and the beach, I'll take you somewhere else to play after we finish our business."
"The mountains and valleys of Hainan Island, or Xiamen in Fujian Province."
The coastline in Changle County is quite steep and the waves are large, making it easy to encounter danger while playing there.
Lin Yifeng looked at Ye Yuqing, who was reluctantly walking out of the beach, and smiled as he promised her that he would take her to other places to play after he finished his business.
Tourism was not developed in 1992. When visiting China in that era, the equipment and experience were definitely not comparable to those of later years.
But this era also had things that later generations did not have.
That's the original flavor.
The mountains, forests, and waters of this era were rarely developed, and traveling during this time allowed one to experience the most pristine and unspoiled beauty.
and...
You almost don't need to worry about being scammed.
After walking along the coast of Changle County for a short while, you will see a huge dock. Countless searchlights are swaying back and forth on the dock, and outside the dock, small boats are constantly transporting something.
Yes, the dock is mostly filled with small boats, fishing boats eight or nine meters long, with an engine inside the cabin that can be operated by just one person, going back and forth between the dock and the sea.
These small fishing boats are a local specialty, and are generally used for fishing and catching seafood.
But now these small boats are used to transport specific goods.
For example, goods such as color TVs, mobile phones, and arcade game consoles.
These goods bypassed customs and were tax-free; they were all illicit goods, and their small size made them perfect for transporting.
As for those large ocean-going ships...
These ships rarely dock; they remain in the depths of the sea, ready to set sail immediately for the high seas should any danger arise.
For these large ships sailing far away, as long as they are not caught on the spot, there is nothing to worry about.
"What are you two doing here?"
Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing, who were walking along the coast, were stopped by someone when they were about a kilometer away from the pier.
This is a gang of members wielding gleaming machetes. They are wearing only shorts, shirtless, fish-shoes, and headlamps.
The gang members worked in groups of four, patrolling a kilometer away from the pier. They would intercept anyone who approached the pier, or any backpackers trying to rush out of the pier into Changle County.
"I'm hungry, let's find something to eat."
What food options are available around here?
Lin Yifeng, speaking fluent Min Dong dialect, asked the four gang members. Upon hearing this, the gang leader, whose right hand had only three fingers, impatiently chased Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing away, saying, "Hungry? I think you're asking for trouble."
"You don't even know where this is, yet you dare to come here?"
"Hurry up and leave, don't ignore my advice."
This dock is specifically used for smuggling. It is usually quiet during the day, but at night, groups of fishing boats dock to smuggle things such as color TVs.
Seeing that Lin Yifeng spoke the dialect so fluently, the gang members assumed he was a local and immediately told him to leave the dock and stop loitering there.
"Friend, let's leave immediately!"
Lin Yifeng had only come to find food tonight, so he wouldn't make a scene by barging into the docks. With a smile, he pulled Ye Yuqing along and turned back.
Seeing that Lin Yifeng obediently left, these gang members did not take the initiative to cause trouble. Their task was to prevent people from entering. As long as people did not enter within a kilometer of the dock, everything would be fine.
Lin Yifeng led Ye Yuqing away, and just as Ye Yuqing was about to ask what the dock was for, a huge explosion suddenly came from the direction of the dock.
The deafening roar shook the earth. Ye Yuqing and Lin Yifeng quickly looked in the direction of the explosion and saw a ball of fire shooting into the sky, followed by a cacophony of noises.
“...”
“...”
Lin Yifeng and Ye Yuqing exchanged a glance and quickly got on alert. Before Lin Yifeng could even think about what to do, the gang members who had just intercepted him shouted loudly and ran towards the direction of the explosion.
Ye Yuqing winked at Lin Yifeng, asking for his thoughts. Lin Yifeng had no curiosity and didn't want to be a hero or anything like that. After hearing gunshots near the dock, he immediately waved to Ye Yuqing.
"Let's go back to the guesthouse."
curious?
explore?
To act as a third party, taking advantage of the chaos to seize and smuggle goods?
It doesn't exist!
The only person he can trust right now is Ye Yuqing. No matter how good Ye Yuqing is at fighting, she can't withstand many bullets.
As for the big and small fish caught on the train.
These two are fine for running errands and gathering information, but if you ask them to fight the enemy, they'll run faster than anyone else.
Besides, he's just a reincarnated person, not a protagonist in a Hong Kong movie who can survive all sorts of explosions.
Lin Yifeng would not put himself in danger and get involved in the fighting among the gangs of seafarers in the south.
