The night was dark, the forest was silent, and the fog was thick.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of people walked quietly under the faint moonlight.
They were dressed simply and carried simple bags. They were nervous and expectant. They were nervous because they were afraid of being discovered, but they also looked forward to a better life in the future.
The mountain paths were rugged and covered with thorns. They carefully avoided obstacles and dared not make any noise for fear of alerting the patrol team.
The leader would turn back from time to time to comfort his companions and whisper to the group behind him, "Keep quiet and try not to make any noise. There is a patrol on the mountain."
Climb to a high place and look to the other side, you will see the lights of the tall buildings shining brightly.
There is only one thought in my mind - to have a better life, I must try my best even if the road ahead is difficult.
Hu Guifen and Zhu Xiujuan walked behind with their son.
Wang Manfa was walking at the back to cover their retreat. Seeing that they were struggling to walk up the mountain road while carrying their son and luggage, he kindly offered to help them carry the luggage.
The two hesitated, "No, no thanks, we can just get it ourselves."
They ran out and took all the money from the house, putting almost all of it in the luggage bag.
Zhu Xiujuan brought more than 100 yuan.
Hu Guifen brought more than 500 yuan with her, more than 100 yuan on her body, and the rest was placed in a luggage bag.
The salary there is high and the expenses are also high. I don’t have a job at the beginning, so I have to rely on this money to get on my feet temporarily. It’s okay for adults to skip a few meals, but I absolutely cannot let my son go hungry.
Wang Manfa assured them, "Give me the luggage, ladies. I'll walk behind you and won't touch your things. If they do, you'll hear them from so close. You can carry them yourselves, but it's still a long way to go. The road above is higher, steeper, and more difficult to walk on. If a child falls, there's no place to get him treated in these desolate mountains."
"Well, please don't touch our things."
In the darkness, Wang Manfa raised his lips into a sly smile, "Definitely not."
The two handed the bag over, "That's good."
Wang Manfa took it and put it on his back, grinning, "It's quite heavy."
We continued on our way. When we were almost at the border, we heard a dog barking, "Roar, roar, roar..."
The patrol's military dog spotted them.
Someone screamed in fear, "Ah!"
"I've been discovered. What should I do?"
The leader ran forward and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone. Keep running. It's just a hundred meters ahead."
After saying that, he jumped out like a monkey.
It is illegal to get caught for complaining, so how can we not panic? A group of people are running around like headless flies, unable to tell the front from the back, left from the left, and all they know is to run faster and faster, and never get caught.
The barking of dogs and the sound of synchronized footsteps grew faster and closer.
“Roar, roar, roar…”
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Hu Guifen ran to hide behind a big tree, only to find that her son was missing.
Only Zhu Xiujuan was by her side.
She stuck her head out, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see clearly. She shouted, "Xiao Qiang, where are you? Mom is here. Xiao Qiang, let's not go to Gangcheng. Come back quickly, come to Mom..."
Zhu Xiujuan, who was beside her, covered her mouth and said, "Hu Guifen, don't shout. Call the soldiers over. We will be discovered."
"My son Xiaoqiang is missing. It's just right that the soldiers are here. I want them to find my son."
"No, we can't. Let's hide here for a while and go out to look for them after they leave. The soldiers won't do anything to children, but we are prisoners. If we are discovered, we will be finished."
"I can't care less. He's not your son, so of course you don't have to worry. My Xiaoqiang is the flesh that fell from my pregnancy after ten months. I want to go find him, so don't hold me back."
Hu Guifen turned her head and pulled out her arm, only to realize something was wrong. "Where's your son?"
Zhu Xiujuan just realized that her three-year-old son Xiaozhi was also missing, and she immediately panicked.
She shouted at the top of her voice, "Yes, where is my Xiaozhi? Son, where are you? Mom is here..."
border line.
Someone put a ladder on the wire mesh, climbed up, took the luggage and threw it over, then turned over and jumped down. Others also climbed up using the ladder. Some people put a quilt on the wire mesh and climbed up by pulling the quilt.
Those who didn't have ladders or blankets just threw their luggage bags up, hooked onto the barbed wire, and climbed up.
Those with thin bodies would crawl through the ground wearing thick coats and wrapping their heads.
Those waiting to climb the ladder below urged those above to climb quickly.
When he saw the soldiers coming, he was afraid of being caught and taken back, so he pushed the people above him over before they could climb over and reach the top, and then climbed up desperately.
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
Several flashlight beams pierced the darkness, illuminating the border wire fence. In an instant, the crowd fled in all directions like frightened birds.
Many people didn't bother to wait for the ladder. They gathered their strength and jumped, grabbed the barbed wire with both hands, and kicked their feet to try to climb over it.
The sharp spikes of the barbed wire pierced his palm and blood dripped down the wire. He endured the pain and climbed up with all his strength.
A comrade from the military shouted, "Stop! Climbing the barbed wire is prohibited. It's illegal. Stop now and come back!"
A few people turned over.
Most of the people were too frightened to turn over and fell down. They were held down by the military comrades and their hands were tied behind their backs.
Some people wanted to make a final struggle, but the soldiers blocked the barbed wire and prohibited them from climbing.
"Please calm down, everyone. Even if you escape, you will be deported. It's meaningless."
Wang Manfa was cunning and treacherous. He did not gather with everyone, but hid in the dark and sneaked over.
He pushed Xiaoqiang in first, and then he climbed up by pulling the rope.
Xiao Zhi watched them all leave, and there was no sign of his mother, so he cried out, "Wow, Mom, Mom, where are you?"
