Chapter 452 Liufu Mountain
Xia Zhizhi looked at the old lady and hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I'll give it a try."
Seeing that she agreed after careful consideration, the old lady felt relieved.
But the little girl Ah Fu couldn't bear to leave the old lady. She grabbed the old lady's clothes with red eyes and said, "Grandma, I don't want to leave. If I leave, what will you do?"
The old lady gave Ah Fu a slap in the face: "What's the point of you staying here? I have to take care of you. I have to provide you with food and drink at my age!"
After being beaten, Ah Fu started to cry.
The old lady ignored her and got up to go to the kitchen to cook. She said to Xia Zhizhi, "I'll go cook. After you're full, take a rest and get some rest."
Xia Zhizhi gave Ah Ju a look, and Ah Ju took out a bag of rice from his bag: "Let me do it, we brought food."
The white rice in his pocket was much better than the food at home. The old lady nodded and went to light a fire.
After the rice was ready, Xia Zhizhi ate dinner with the canned vegetables made by Ah Ju, and then leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
The old lady brought Ah-fu into the house, helped her change her clothes, combed her hair, and put a roll of thread on Ah-fu's collar.
Finally, he took out a condom and taught the little girl how to blow up a balloon.
After cleaning up, the old lady scooped out the little food in the rice jar, put it in a basket, and went out.
After a while, the old lady came back and brought a few other old men and women with her.
The old men and women surrounded Ah Fu and asked her to tell their children something.
They talked a lot in whispers, and I don't know if Ah Fu, such a young girl, could remember it all.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, the old lady called Xia Zhizhi and Ah Ju and said, "We will set out soon. Move quietly. When we get to the beach, hide in the mangroves first. Once we have led the patrol away, you can quietly go into the water, swim out a little, and blow up the rubber tube."
Xia Zhizhi nodded, and the old lady took out the only wooden bathtub left in the house and prepared for Ah Ju to carry it.
Xia Zhizhi shook her head and refused, and patted the bag that Ah Ju was carrying: "We have prepared the tools."
The old lady felt relieved and nodded, "Okay."
After all, this thing is big and really hard to carry. When family members smuggled themselves across the border before, they had already taken away all the easy ones.
He also explained: "Her father's name is Luo Ming and her mother's name is Huang Ying. You should be able to find out by asking around in the hometown group."
Finally, he brought out a large basin of water and asked the three people to drink a ladle each.
After checking everything and packing up, they prepared to head to the beach.
The old lady was holding Ah Fu in her arms and muttering to herself in the back. Xia Zhizhi walked beside her and took out some food coupons and a few dollars from her pocket and handed them to her: "I see you have arranged everything. We are also indebted to you. I won't charge you for bringing Ah Fu with me. I'll buy the bracelet from you."
The old lady made such an arrangement that she cleaned the house thoroughly so that she would be pregnant once they left.
The old lady thought about it and decided to accept the money.
If they are unlucky and fail to make it, I will return the money to them. If they make it, the money cannot be used there.
We soon arrived at the mangrove forest by the sea. The root system of this kind of tree is very developed, and the dense roots are intertwined into a piece. Walking in it in this season actually feels a bit chilly.
Fortunately, a few old men and women were familiar with this area and led them through the gap in the middle with ease.
Soon we arrived at the place, and the old lady whispered, "Hide here first and don't move. Be smart and wait for us to lead the people away. When the time is right, run into the sea. If you hear someone shouting from behind, don't stop. Don't believe them saying they will shoot. Don't be afraid. We won't shoot now."
After giving the instructions, the old lady was ready to leave. Ah Fu reluctantly grabbed the hem of his grandmother's clothes, but the old lady pulled but failed.
"Grandma..." Ah Fu called pitifully.
The old lady just reached out and slapped the child's hand away, and whispered: "Let go, and don't call me grandma in the future. I don't have a disobedient granddaughter like you!"
After scolding Ah Fu, a few old men and women came out of the woods from another place and started calling out in a pretentious manner.
"Afu!"
"Aying!"
"A Bing~"
Soon a soldier heard the noise and rushed over to stop them, saying, "Stop, what are you doing?"
The old man and the old woman began to cry out: "My grandson and granddaughter are missing. I have searched the whole village but couldn't find them!"
The other warriors heard the commotion and gathered over.
There was no one on the beach, so the warriors asked the old man to look somewhere else.
The old man was not happy and insisted that he had looked everywhere else and asked the warriors to help him find the person. He also pulled and pushed the warriors.
Seeing the right opportunity, Xia Zhizhi asked Ah Ju to bring Ah Fu and rush out of the woods.
Their movements were very light and nimble, and it was dark, so the warriors' attention was drawn to other things and they didn't notice them at all.
When they reached the beach, they both went into the sea very quietly, without attracting any attention.
A group of old men and women made a lot of noise, and were persuaded to go back. On the way back, the old lady was still worried, so she deliberately passed by the place where Xia Zhizhi and the others had stayed before, and made sure that there was no one nearby, only then she breathed a sigh of relief.
After the three of them had swum for some distance in the sea, the little girl Ah Fu said with sobs, "Sister, let's blow up the rubber ball!"
Xia Zhizhi comforted her: "No, we have other options."
After saying that, Ah Ju took out an inflatable raft from the big bag he was carrying.
Actually, this thing should be pumped with an air pump, but she has Ah Ju, so it will be the same if Ah Ju blows it with his mouth.
Ah Ju quickly blew up the floating raft, Xia Zhi climbed up slickly, and lifted Ah Fu up with her as well.
Then Ah Ju pulled the raft and took them both for a swim.
Ah Fu touched the floating raft curiously, and the sadness of parting with his family was much less.
The straight distance of less than 5,000 meters was not too easy for Ah Ju. Considering that he was bringing a little girl with him, Xia Zhizhi asked Ah Ju to slow down.
You won't get lost here, just head in the direction of the bright lights and follow the path.
It took an hour of slow walking to reach the shore.
The landing place is in the northern part of Yuen Long District. The coast near the sea is a wasteland covered with weeds. A distance ahead is the undulating Lau Fau Shan.
Many people landed from this location.
Even though you have arrived in Hong Kong, it does not mean you can sit back and relax.
Hong Kong's manufacturing industry is relatively developed at this time, and it really needs a lot of cheap labor. The people who sneaked in just met this requirement.
But that was a few years ago.
In recent years, the number of illegal immigrants has increased, and all the jobs here are almost full.
To be honest, the quality of people who come here illegally is generally not very high, which has caused many negative impacts in terms of health, work and living.
The attitude towards illegal immigration here has also changed, from acceptance in the beginning to driving them out and arresting them now.
[There are too many things to say, so I put them here for casual chat
My kids, I had a dream that I was visiting a very remote place. I told them that this place was too remote and it was inconvenient for both education and shopping. It was not as good as the city.
After a lot of encouragement, I finally persuaded my fellow villagers to pack up their belongings, carry their bags and follow me to leave the mountains.
I regretted it halfway through, I thought that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, where could I take all these old people? Even if they could work in the factory, there were so many people, and I didn't know whether the factory would hire them or not.
I was so worried that I didn't know what to do. Then I suddenly had an idea and thought of locking them in a space to work on the farm for me. I don't know why, I just subconsciously felt that I had my own space.
But I soon felt guilty and thought that this was not a good thing to do. He wanted to go to the big city to see the world, but I locked him up in a space and made him work hard. It would be better for him to stay in the mountains and not come out.
I also thought that I could act as a real estate agent and take them to buy a house. If they can’t afford a new house, they can buy an old and run-down one. I don’t know if they have enough money.
The last order didn’t work out, and I woke up feeling guilty and lost, but I didn’t know what I was losing…】
