Chapter 452 Ah Fu



Chapter 452 Ah Fu

After the old man and the young lady finished their meal, the little girl took the two bowls on the table and washed them.

There is nothing to wash, just rinse it with water. After drinking the clear soup and porridge, the bowl is clean and there is no difference from one that has been washed.

After they finished cleaning up, there was indeed some movement in the village. The old lady asked them to hide in the abandoned pigsty: "You two just squat here and don't make any noise. Usually they will leave after asking questions."

Sure enough, after a while, only the militia came over and asked the old lady if she had seen any strangers.

After asking, the militia took a quick look at the bare house of the old lady, then left quickly and went back to the coast.

Not many people are stupid enough to go diving into the sea in broad daylight; they are just doing it as a routine.

When the militia walked away, the old lady called out to them in a low voice: "Come out, young men. The people have left."

When the two came out, the old lady gave them a small stool and they sat under the eaves and chatted.

"You two should have come a few days earlier. The Chen family's children went there by water a few nights ago along with the last few young men in the village." The old lady raised her chin towards the sea.

Their village has a geographical advantage, as it is next to the Shenzhen Bay. According to the old lady, most people in the village choose to travel by water, that is, swimming across. If everything goes well, they can reach the northern part of Yuen Long District on the other side in one or two hours.

There is no need to cut the wire mesh to go into the sea. Just take advantage of the night, avoid the guards, and rush into the sea, and you will be halfway successful.

If you have the conditions and resources, you can bring car tires, life buoys, plastic bottles, etc. as life-saving tools when you set out.

There are also some talented people who blow up condoms and hang them around their necks.

Border guards discovered that someone had strung together hundreds of ping-pong balls as a life-saving tool.

Anyway, up to now, the above items are all strictly controlled items in the local area and are not easy to get.

Xia Zhizhi asked her: "The younger villagers have all left, and the village is full of old and young people. How can we live?"

The old lady sighed, hugged her little granddaughter, and said, "There's nothing we can do. We are old and young, and our physical strength is limited. We really can't walk, and there's nothing we can do."

If you go to cut the barbed wire, you won't be able to run away. At most you will be caught and repatriated, but you won't lose your life. If you can't swim in the sea, then you're basically dead.

The old lady added, "A few years ago, women and children with weak stamina would go to the Wutong Mountain and Sha Tau Kok area to cast nets. They would go to the zoo to hire a keeper, find some tiger feces, and spread them as they walked. The tracking dogs would smell the tiger feces and not dare to chase, but they could run past. But in the past two years, the control has been strict, and it is no longer easy to get them."

They were just chatting, and Xia Zhizhi asked about some precautions when entering the water from the beach.

The old lady did not hide anything and told her everything.

There are many people who sneak across the border here, and everyone has a lot of experience, which can be said to be varied. For ordinary people who want to sneak across the border, these are all blood and tears experiences, and it sounds heartbreaking and dangerous.

Xia Zhizhi didn't feel any pressure to cross the sea, so she just listened to these stories and thought they were quite interesting.

The old lady chatted with her for the whole afternoon, and when it got dark, she got down to business: "Young man, I see you two are going there too, right?"

Xia Zhizhi nodded.

The old lady asked again: "Are you planning to leave right away, or come over to explore the area?"

Xia Zhizhi said truthfully: "Leave as soon as possible."

"It's a pity that you didn't make it." The old lady thought for a moment and said, "I know where to get into the water, and I can also help you divert the border guards, as long as you can bring my Ah Fu with you."

Xia Zhizhi looked at the old lady in surprise. Nowadays, it is not without risks for a normal person to swim across. It is hard to say whether they can save their own lives. How could the old lady dare to hand her granddaughter to someone else?

After all, it's just a chance encounter, can you really expect someone to risk their life to save you?

The old lady probably knew what Xia Zhizhi was thinking, and sighed helplessly: "I have no choice. Look at the situation in the village. If she stays with an old woman like me, she will have no way to survive. Let her take a chance. At least she has her parents there. It's better than staying here and waiting to die."

Seeing that Xia Zhizhi didn't say anything, the old lady said, "It's not in vain that you were asked to take care of her."

She went to the room and dug out a wooden box from under the bed, took out a pair of silver bracelets, and then found a small blue box in the box. She looked at the small box and sighed, "I am lucky. I went to the market a few days ago and ran into a couple who were getting married to get this. I followed them and stole it."

Xia Zhizhi took a glance and saw it was a box of condoms.

I guess she doesn't do this often. When she said this, the old lady blushed.

She staggered back to sit in front of Xia Zhizhi, holding up the bracelets and said, "If you agree, this will be your reward. Going there will cost money, too."

The old lady showed them the small box in her hand and said, "Ahfu, you don't need to exert too much effort. Just drag her. If there are any extra rubber rings, I can give you two."

"If, if we encounter any accidents at sea." The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "If that happens, it's not your fault."

The old lady is quite clear-headed. Nowadays, even if it is your parents at the critical moment of life and death, you cannot expect them to sacrifice themselves for others.

As for whether you can trust strangers or not, it all depends on your conscience. Don't think that acquaintances in the village are necessarily good people. Those with conscience will not kill even if they are strangers. Those without conscience, even if they are relatives, are not to be trusted.

The most important thing is that everyone who could run in the village had already run away, and she couldn't catch up.

The old lady had her own considerations when choosing Xia Zhizhi. Not only do teenage boys and girls have better physical strength, but they also have a higher sense of morality and are not so cruel. In comparison, Xia Zhizhi is a good option.

There was no expression on Xia Zhizhi's face, and she was not tempted by the rewards given by the old lady.

The old lady looked at her with pleading eyes: "I know my own body. I can't take care of her for two years. She is a girl, alone. What if...she can't survive."

Xia Zhizhi understood what the old lady had not yet said.

In a few decades, it will be unsafe for single women to walk on the street at night, let alone now.

The village is already desolate. If you happen to meet someone with bad intentions and lustful mind in some remote place, you can’t imagine the consequences.

Even if the little girl is careful and doesn't go to remote places, once the old lady dies, she will have to live alone. Not to mention food and drink, her safety will not be guaranteed. There is no one at home, and who knows who will come and bully the child.

Some people have no hope in life and, free from moral shackles, are incapable of doing anything evil.
