"Master, are we really going to Hong Kong? Do you know Hong Kong? Is it dangerous there? I'm a little scared."
The person who said this was the old man's third apprentice, Xia Gucao, who was now a curious baby, the embodiment of a hundred thousand questions.
The third child, Xia Gucao, has a free and easy personality and often speaks without thinking. He is the kind of person who is talkative but not reliable in his work.
For some reasons, he had not experienced Huo Qiqi's inspection and did not know Huo Qiqi's methods and abilities.
Although Xia Lao San knew that his cheap little nun was very rich and generous, he was still hesitant and felt very insecure when he thought about going to the completely unfamiliar Hong Kong.
Before the old man could get angry, the second brother Chenpi said dissatisfiedly: "Xia Lao San, if you doubt the decision of the little sister-in-law and don't want to go to Xiangjiang, you can go back to Hai City alone. The gift from the little sister-in-law is enough for you to live a very carefree life."
"Third Brother, you have to know that these businesses of Little Sister-in-Law are not inseparable from us. Little Sister-in-Law nominally asked us to help manage them, but in fact she is helping us. Don't you know what kind of life we are living in Hai City?
"Third Junior Brother, you must remember that there are many schools of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the mainland that are comparable to ours. If they had the opportunity to participate in the research and development of Traditional Chinese Medicine, do you think they would give up?" "The eldest brother, Gu Xia, also joined the Third Brother Xia's judging panel.
Xia Lao San looked at his master with grievance. You know, his master usually loves him the most. This time he will definitely stand up for him and scold his two senior brothers.
Sure enough, the master spoke.
"Third brother, your two brothers are right. We can't ruin your little sister's affairs. If you really don't want to go to Xiangjiang, Master won't force you. Just go back to Hai City."
Xia Laosan wanted to cry. Why did he feel like his master was also scolding him?
Alas, Xia Lao San completely understood the positions of the three people. There was no room for negotiation on the matter of going to Hong Kong, and he could only obediently follow the master's arrangements.
When the four masters and apprentices arrived in Guangzhou, it was already evening. They stayed at the train station for the night. The next day, they finally rented a small courtyard. After settling down temporarily, they decided to find a way to Hong Kong.
Following Old Huang's suggestion, the four of them split up and compiled the information they had gathered. Eventually, they decided to find local boatmen, board their fishing boats, and sneak into the Hong Kong River.
Three people and three small yellow croakers, this was the cost of their trip to Hong Kong.
Following the captain's advice, they prepared a lot of first aid tools.
The captain had a lot of passengers this time, 10 people, and usually there were only 6 people at most. Seeing that the old men were generous, he let them sit in the middle of the boat.
"Captain, I'm so bored. How long will it take us to reach the other side?" asked Xia Lao San impatiently.
"You young man, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you before we got on board that you had to keep quiet and not speak loudly? At this time, if we want to reach the other side smoothly, we must remain absolutely silent. If we are discovered by the patrol, we will all be sent back."
The captain, looking at the little yellow croaker's face, couldn't help but explain
"If nothing goes wrong, we can go ashore in an hour."
The passengers on the boat were very happy to hear that they could reach Hong Kong in just one hour. After getting ashore in Hong Kong, they could find good jobs and make a lot of money.
Accidents always come inadvertently. Since many people have sneaked into the Hong Kong River during this period, the inspection efforts have increased a lot. Suddenly, a searchlight appeared on everyone's faces, while their smiles were still there. The captain knew that he had been discovered. "Oh no, everyone jump off the boat and wish you good luck." After saying that, the captain jumped into the sea with a float.
Chenpi, as the one with the most eyes among the four, had only grabbed four floats very early on. "Old man, senior and junior brothers, let's jump too. Follow me closely."
The cold sea water invaded their bodies. Seeing the master and his disciples holding onto the floats, everyone else was envious, but there was nothing they could do.
Xia Laosan was the best swimmer. He tied several people together with a rope and slowly swam towards the Xiangjiang River.
After an hour's boat ride, several people swam in the sea for almost 5 hours with the help of floats before reaching the shore. They avoided the patrol officers and quietly went ashore.
After getting ashore, they heard a few dogs barking in the village in the distance. They knew that they needed to stay overnight, on the one hand to avoid inspections, and on the other hand to rest. Otherwise, they would definitely get sick by dawn. The young man was fine, but the old man's body really couldn't take it.
With the dim light, I knocked on a door. An elderly man opened it. Looking at the people at the door, he understood what was going on.
"I can't keep you here. There's a block of unfinished buildings 5 kilometers ahead. You can rest there. There are people managing it. If you pay them, you can fix it up there."
"Thank you, old man. This is a small token of your appreciation." Chenpi took out a little bit of broken gold, about 10g, worth more than 200 Hong Kong dollars. This was prepared by Chenpi before getting on the boat, and it came in handy at this time.
Following the guidance of the local, the master and his apprentices found the person in charge of the unfinished building. After paying for two small yellow croakers, they got a room to rest. They washed up, ate some of the steamed buns provided, closed the doors and windows, and let the old man sleep. The old man was indeed lacking in strength and fell into a deep sleep. The three brothers held sticks, kept their eyes open, and did not dare to sleep.
It was dawn when I saw the person in charge skillfully send away several waves of inspectors.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, they took a fish delivery truck to the city center in return for a small yellow croaker.
After reaching the city center, they tried to find several companies under Huo Qiqi's name. They actually found a storefront where Huo Qiqi was trading real estate. After speaking to the person in charge and revealing their identities, someone notified Liu De.
When Liu De appeared in front of them, the four masters and apprentices could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
