Because there is no boat, and there is a huge sum of two million U.S. dollars, any regular means of transportation cannot be used. The only way to return to Hong Kong City is to take a stowaway boat.
With the war in Vietnam now, the business of smuggling is booming. In addition, the Azhi family has been smuggling to Hong Kong in the early years, and they have often traveled between Vietnam and Hong Kong to make money these years, so they are very familiar with this business. .
A few people went to the nearest sea port by boat, and within half a day, they found out that there was a stowaway boat going to Hong Kong City tonight, and they successfully bought four places.
In the evening, four people got on the boat among the refugee team.
The ship was a cargo ship barely able to go to sea, and there was only one cabin, which was filled with seven or eight stowaways of various colors, ranging from five or six-year-olds to infants waiting to be fed.
As the old saying goes, gold nests and silver nests are not as good as your own kennels. If you don’t live in the future, no one will be willing to bet the future on an unpredictable foreign land, on this old ship with an uncertain future. on board.
For these smuggled refugees, Hong Kong City does not have the bustling city of war and famine. As for Qiao Wen and the others who were squeezed among them, it was purely for going home.
The experience of escaping in just half a month really made me have enough. Even Qiao Wen, at this time, misses the humble and small house in the Kowloon Walled City, misses his grandmother and the old man very much. Home cooked breakfast.
Of course, he misses the peaceful times he used to live in even more.
Although the cabin has no windows, but several of them are crowded together, the smell is really sour and refreshing. Needless to say, it's hot and humid, and the smell of sweat is intertwined with each other. However, it is really not an easy task to drift for a few days in such a harsh environment.
For a few days, Qiao Wen was afraid that his body would fall off the chain and drag everyone down, so he kept holding on to it. He insisted on relying on his firm willpower to keep his body from collapsing.
Now that I got on the boat to go home, and left the war-torn land of injustice, the whole body gradually relaxed, and various uncomfortable feelings followed.
He was afraid that other people would worry, and he was going to bring up his righteousness again and endure it, at least until he arrived in Hong Kong before falling down. However, the foundation of this body is too bad after all, and it is already a miracle that it has survived until now. Now I have reached the limit, I can't bear it anymore, and I started to feel dizzy and dizzy on the first night.

"Little Joe! Little Joe!"
The shaking of his body and the urgent voice in his ears awakened Qiao Wen who had been in a coma for an unknown period of time. He slowly opened his eyes, saw the twilight of the morning light outside the window, and said in a hoarse voice, "What time is it? Do you want to get up?"
"I've got a fever! Why don't you feel uncomfortable?" Chen Jianan pressed his palm against his forehead, his face was full of anxiety.
After finally escaping from birth, although the cramped cabin and hard deck were uncomfortable, he slept very darkly last night.
Unexpectedly, he just woke up in a daze this morning, and suddenly felt that the body next to him was hot, and he was so scared that he woke up completely.
Qiao Wen was unable to reply: "You must be too tired."
Jiang Yufeng, who was on the side, didn't dare to sleep too much because he kept the banknotes in mind all the time. Hearing the movement at this time, he naturally woke up, stretched his head and asked, "Ah Wen has a fever?"
Chen Jianan nodded and said anxiously: "Oh, it's so hot! Xiao Qiao, do you have any medicine?"
He was shot first, and he remembered that Qiao Wen gave him antipyretics.
However, Qiao Wen shook his head: "It's gone."
Jiang Yufeng said, "A'nan, help him get up and drink some water first."
Chen Jianan carefully lifted his weak body up and leaned against his lap, opened the water bottle and pointed it at his mouth: "Little Qiao, drink some water."
Qiao Wen really wanted to look normal, but at this moment, he really couldn't use any strength. He struggled to open his mouth, but he couldn't even swallow.
A few smuggled refugees nearby were woken up, and a mother with two children suddenly took out a small white bottle and handed it to Chen Jianan.
Because it was not English, Chen Jianan didn't know it, so he shook Qiao Wen awake and asked, "Xiao Qiao, do you want to take this medicine?"
Qiao Wen barely opened his eyes, saw the English words on the medicine bottle, nodded, Ruoyousi said, "Aspirin, just take one."
Aspirin can be regarded as a miracle drug in this era, Chen Jianan naturally knew it, and immediately showed joy, emptied one and put it into Qiao Wen's mouth, then turned his head and handed the bottle to his daughter, repeatedly Thanks.
After taking the medicine, he laid Qiao Wen flat, just as two smugglers came in to check the situation in the cabin.
Chen Jianan thought that there must be a kerosene stove on the boat, and he had to boil some hot water for Qiao Wen, so he asked peacefully: "Brother, can you borrow it?" Let’s boil some water on the kerosene stove?”
One of the men glanced at him, no good: "No!"
Chen Jianan suddenly became angry, and was about to roll up his sleeves to beat him up, but Qiao Wen, who was half awake and half awake, grabbed him, weakly: "Forget it, I'm fine, just sleep more Let’s get into trouble, endure it for two days and go home.”
Chen Jianan also knew that now was not the time to cause trouble, so he just reluctantly gave up.
The two smugglers walked around the cabin, then returned to Qiao Wen and stopped. Of course, the two didn't come to care about his sick patient out of sudden kindness, but saw a girl who just woke up sitting next to him.
That girl is the eldest daughter who gave Jowen the aspirin girl just now. She is only three or four years old. With a pair of big watery eyes and a vaguely undulating body, she is a very beautiful Southeast Asian girl.
One of the men leaned forward and pinched the girl's chin. The girl screamed in fright and hid behind her mother.
The two men looked at each other tacitly, then left the cabin and went to the rear cab.
The girl was so frightened that she was about to cry when she left. The mother hugged her daughter tightly to comfort her, because she didn't know what she was going to do just now, and she also looked terrified at the moment.
There is no man around him, except for this daughter, there is only a son who is sleeping soundly next to him, only a four or five-year-old son.
In this chaotic smuggling boat, this is a family that can be slaughtered at will.
After a while, when those two came back, there was an extra man between three and four years old, who was the boss of their group of snakeheads.
This boss has a very rough appearance, with dragon tattoos tattooed on his two muscular arms, he looks like a social brother who is not easy to mess with.
In fact, those who do this, even if they are not outlaws, are by no means good.
Under the guidance of Ma Zai, the boss of the snake head came over and looked at the mother and daughter who were hugging each other with a half-smile.
The mother probably guessed what was going on, hugged her daughter tightly, and pressed that pretty face to her chest.
Sitting on the side, Chen Jianan lowered his head and was peeling a piece of candy. He moved over silently, sitting between the mother and daughter to block the candy, and then stretched out his hand to feed the peeled candy into Qiao Wen's mouth: "Little Qiao , is it better?"
Although Qiao Wen was groggy, he was not completely unconscious. With a sweet taste in his mouth, he nodded, "I'm fine."
"What are you doing?" Seeing someone in the way, Ma Zai made a nasty voice.
Unmoved, Chen Jianan continued to ask Qiao Wen: "Sleep well, don't worry about it."
Ma Zai has probably never seen such a winkless man, so he simply slapped him on the head: "Are you talking to me? Get out!"
It's just that when he got started, Chen Jianan turned his head lightly, and the hand barely brushed the ends of his hair.
He raised his head and looked at the three people opposite him, with a blank expression on his face: "Should I get out?"
"Would his mother look for you?" The talking snake boss, when he said this, took advantage of the situation and raised his foot, directly kicking Chen Jianan's handsome face.
five minutes later.
In the cockpit at the stern, Chen Jianan found a kerosene stove, lit it, put a small pot of water on it, and took out a few packets of noodles and vegetables from a cardboard box. He snorted: " These bastards are quite complete. Xiao Qiao, let me make some hot noodle soup."
As he spoke, he took out another pack of cigarettes and threw them to Jiang Yufeng and Ah Zhi who were at the helm: "Fucking American cigarettes."
Jiang Yufeng leaned against the bridge, took out a cigarette and lit it, and looked at the deck outside. There were seven or eight people tied up there, all of them with bruised noses and swollen faces. The beating.
Originally, I didn't intend to cause trouble, and I wasn't afraid, but I was physically and mentally exhausted, and I just wanted to go home in peace. Helpless, this guy didn't do anything, so they had to roll up their sleeves and do it instead.
Qiao Wen, who was lying on the bed, opened his heavy eyelids and saw three people who were calm and relaxed, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little.
Just now because of the groggy, he didn't know exactly what happened, he only heard a burst of crackling and screaming, and the snake head and his party knelt under three forces They begged for mercy, and then they were tied into a bunch and thrown onto the deck to be baptized by the sun and sea breeze.
After that, he was carried to the cockpit by Chen Jianan.
To put it simply, the three used force to directly snatch the boat containing several stowaways.
When a gangster meets a gangster, it depends on whose fist is harder.
After Chen Jianan finished cooking the noodles, he put the pot on a stool and brought it to Wen Noodles: "Xiao Qiao, I'll help you get up and eat the noodles."
"No need, I'll get up by myself." Qiao Wen struggled to sit up, maybe because of the medicine, he seemed to feel better.
It looks like Chen Jianan is a rough boy, but a poor kid who has been in charge of the family for a long time, and his craftsmanship is not bad. With limited ingredients, he actually made a pot of seafood noodles with all kinds of colors, flavors and flavors.
Qiao Wen picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly.
Ah Zhi came over and sat on the floor to rest, and casually fumbled under the pillow. First he found a few US dollar bills, stuffed them into his pocket with a smile, and took out two colorful magazines.
"Ah Nan, good stuff!" He smiled and threw a copy to Chen Jianan next to him.
Chen Jianan picked it up and looked at it, then threw it back to him in disgust: "It's boring."
Ah Zhi held up the magazine, staring at the hot and sexy big boob girl on the cover with bright eyes, "This foreign girl has such a decent figure! Looking at the big breasts, do you understand how to appreciate it?"
Chen Jianan waved his hands: "I'll tell you the truth, I'm sick of milk."
When he said Ah Zhi, even Qiao Wen, who was eating noodles, couldn't help laughing.
Ah Zhi leaned over to him, hugged his shoulders, and said with a smile, "I mean, Ah Nan, a boy?"
Jiang Yufeng interjected with a smile, "Anan is nine years old."
Ah Zhi said: "Nine years old is not young, it is enough to be a father." He smirked, "Ah Nan doesn't look like he is shy, he doesn't sleep with girls when he is so old, Tell Brother Zhi the truth, isn’t there a problem?”
Chen Jianan: "What's wrong with me?"
Ah Zhi can't think about it, what's the problem with the boy who peed two or three feet against the wind? And he hadn't seen this guy's stuff before, so he was envious
He smiled and said, "That's not right. I was nine years old and missed girls every day. I drool when I saw beautiful women in magazines. How come I'm not even interested in pornographic magazines?"
Chen Jianan thought for a while, and replied: "Because I don't like vulgar fans."
A few people were amused by him, Ah Zhi said: "What kind of girl do you like then? Brother Ah Zhi will help you pay attention later." He looked at Qiao Wen again, "By the way, Ah Wen also Haven't dated before?"
Qiao Wen said with a smile, "Not at all."
Ah Zhi said: "I'm about eight years old now, and I'm looking for a girlfriend now. But Ah Wen is very good at reading, as long as I think about it, I'm afraid girls will fight for me." Broken head."
Qiao Wen shook his head amusedly.
Chen Jianan glanced at him, and the scene of Qiao Wen being scrambled by several girls floated in his mind. Suddenly, the alarm bell went off, and he said solemnly: "Brother Ah Zhi, just talk about these nonsense, teach me Bad my brother."
Ah Zhi looked at Brother Hu's earnest heart with a face of speechlessness, and said in his heart that with Brother's ability, he was not taught to be broken by me
After drifting at sea for four full days, the stowaway finally arrived at the old pier near the Walled City of Hong Kong City.
Because they lived in the cab of the snake head and ate the rich food stored by the snake head, they said that the three young and strong men were Qiao Wen, a delicate and weak sick man. It also quickly returned to normal.
It's just that the seven or eight guys who were tied up all the way suffered, they couldn't eat enough and couldn't sleep well every day, and they had to accept the baptism of the sea breeze and scorching sun. When the boat docked and was let go, it almost became a few pieces of thin and black charcoal, and it didn't even have the strength to scold the mother.
When disembarking from the boat, Jiang Yufeng was really kind. In order not to let them suffer in vain, he frankly reported his identity: "The debtor is the one who wants to take revenge. I have experienced mountain winds in the Kowloon Walled City."
These smugglers traveled between Hong Kong City and Vietnam. They knew of the notoriety of Hexing Society, and they hadn't heard much about the famous Guoshanfeng. Whoever dares to think about revenge, it is a great fortune to save a life.
It was past one o'clock at night, and the road back to the Walled City was empty. Because Ah Zhi and they didn't go all the way, when the road forked, Jiang Yufeng stopped, put a handbag looted from the snakehead boat on the ground, and confronted them with their lives in exchange for it. of two million dollars.
He took out a few stacks of banknotes from the inside, and handed them to the three of them one by one: "The commission for this job is 50,000, and each of us pays 30,000 each, which belongs to them. For the brothers who are gone, I will give them home."
Mentioning the few brothers who were buried in a foreign land, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. A Zhi took the money, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Feng, I won't take the money, I will distribute it to those brothers."
Jiang Yufeng chuckled lightly, and patted him on the shoulder: "A few brothers' families can just make up for it from me. Don't you want an apartment that you fancy? Are you short of money? Take this I bought an apartment with the money, and my daughter-in-law brought it back to live a good life, and I won’t find him to do such dangerous jobs in the future, and I will eat, drink and have fun like I made money from my mother.”
"Brother Feng—"
Jiang Yufeng interrupted him: "I'm a widow, and the whole family isn't hungry, and besides, I make money a lot."
Qiao Wen looked at the money in his hand and said, "Brother Feng, I went to Vietnam with you, I just wanted to accompany Brother Nan, not to help them with work, I don't want the money. "
Jiang Yufeng closed the handbag, stood up and smiled: "Ah Wen, why don't you follow me this trip, I'm afraid we are all in Vietnam, for this love I I should also reward you well. I know that I don’t want to get involved with the association’s affairs, but this job is not unreasonable, and the munitions went where they should go, so the money must be kept. He paused and then said, "Brother Feng knows that he is capable, but he has no money, and no matter how skilled he is, he can't move a single step. With this money, I think it will be big." usefulness."
Qiao Wen stopped being pretentious, smiled and withdrew his hand, and said, "Brother Xingfeng, since you said that, I won't talk to you anymore."
Jiang Yufeng patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "That's right."
Chen Jianan didn't intend to be a guest at the beginning, and finally came back with his life. If he didn't take the money, he would be a fool. After taking the money, he happily stuffed it into the bag.
Jiang Yufeng thought for a while, and said, "A'nan, this time we got the money and came back smoothly. I will make an agreement with Lord Bao, and the matter between me and A Fei will be settled."
Chen Jianan smiled: "Thank you, Brother Feng."
Jiang Yufeng also smiled: "You don't need to thank me, I can do it myself." He waved his hands as he spoke, "Okay, let's all go back early and have a good rest."
Four days later, Ah Zhi returned to the nearby Longwu District, Jiang Yufeng went to the East District of the Walled City, and Qiao Wen and Chen Jianan returned to their West District.
It turned out that every time Qiao Wen set foot in this dark slum, Qiao Wen felt unspeakable depression and resistance. This feeling came from both the memory of the original body and his own incompatibility.
But tonight, after half a month, I came back here, even if I still hear rats and cockroaches rustling in the dark, I can still smell the dirty and rotten smell , but he has a rare sense of steadfastness and peace of mind.
So much so that it seemed that in the past half a month, it suddenly became unreal, as if it was just a dream, a dream that could be called a nightmare.
Because it is unbearable to look back on, everything in the Walled City looks lovely.
The two walked side by side in the darkness, neither of them spoke.
When we reached Tanglou, Chen Jianan kept saying, "Little Qiao, go home and have a good sleep, I'll come back tomorrow morning to find you."
Qiao Wen nodded: "Yeah, no, keep the money well, and let the family see it, so that they don't worry."
"I understand."
Going up to the door on the second floor, Qiao Wen took the key to open the door, and was about to push the door in. Chen Jianan suddenly hugged him, and sighed: "Little Qiao, we are going home."
Qiao Wen was stunned for a moment, then hugged him with his backhand, and smiled: "Oh, I'm home."
Chen Jianan didn't know why, he was a bit reluctant to let go of her, and hugged her for two minutes, but he was reluctant to let go.
Qiao Wen: "Hurry up and go upstairs."
"I watched him enter the house."
Qiao Wen laughed, pushed the door and entered. After closing the door, he heard the sound of footsteps going up the stairs outside, and continued to walk on tiptoe.
At this time, Grandma has naturally fallen asleep, the house is still tidy, and the quilt on her small bed is also neat.
Qiao Wen's heart twitched inexplicably as he looked at everything he was familiar with. He casually wiped his body with water, returned to his little bed, and fell into a deep sleep within three seconds.
This sleep was extremely peaceful and sweet, until he heard Grandma calling him, Qiao Wen woke up in a daze, and saw the old woman beside the bed with a big smile on his face: "Good morning, Grandma!"
Grandma Qiao looked at her grandson who hadn't seen her for half a month on the bed, she couldn't believe it: "Awen, when did you come back?"
Qiao Wen sat up, rubbed his eyes and said, "Last night."
Grandma Qiao: "Why didn't you wake me up when you came back?"
Qiao Wen said with a smile, "I didn't call you when it was too late."
Grandma Qiao sat down beside him, held his face with her hands and looked left and right: "It seems a little dark."
When Qiao Wen left, he told his grandma that because of work, he went abroad to investigate the market, which could be as short as a day or as long as half a month. It is the first time for this grandson to go abroad when he grows up so big. Although he knows that the child will always fly when he grows up, as a grandmother, Grandma Qiao is very worried these days. Looking at it now When Qiao Wen was lying on the bed, he finally let go of the worries he had been worrying about for several days.
Qiao Wen laughed and said, "It's good for boys to have black spots."
Grandma Qiao also laughed, and asked again: "Did you suffer any hardship these days?"
Qiao Wen said: "That's not true, it's just that I haven't eaten the food cooked by grandma for so long, I think about it very much."
Grandma Qiao stroked his head lovingly: "Grandma will cook a bowl of lard noodles for you."
Qiao Wen didn't mean to make the old man happy by saying this. The matter of eating these few days was entirely to preserve his energy and live well, and he didn't even think about whether it was delicious or not. At this moment when I got home, the greedy insects that had been suppressed for a long time couldn't help but ran out.
A bowl of steaming lard noodles brought him back to the fireworks.
Grandma hasn't seen her grandson for so long, she stared at him after eating noodles, and then walked slowly to the stall.
When only Qiao Wen was left in the house, he took out the thirty thousand dollars from under the pillow. For him now, this is undoubtedly a huge sum of money, in fact, it is also a huge sum of money for any ordinary person. Because I quickly bought a small apartment of four to five square meters on an ordinary lot.
Although when he came back last night, the dust had settled down, but when he woke up and came back to reality, he hoped to move out of the city as soon as possible and live with running water, flush toilets, water heaters and coal. On days, have a TV, air conditioner, washing machine.
The essence of life is nothing more than the pursuit of a better life.
But compared to letting this money make money, there is no need to worry too much about buying a house and moving.
Just as he was thinking, he knocked on the door: "Little Qiao!"
Chen Canaan.
Qiao Wen put down the money and got up to open the door.
Chen Jianan held a newspaper in his hand, his handsome face was full of exaggerated excitement.
Qiao Wen smiled and said, "Brother Nan, I only read newspapers when I come back. It seems that I plan to study hard and learn knowledge."
Chen Jianan choked for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "No, this is the newspaper my uncle bought. I glanced at it and saw this." He walked in, spread the newspaper, and pointed to the stocks on it. Quotes, "I compared it. The stock we bought has risen a lot. Ten thousand yuan has become thirty thousand. Do I want to sell it?"
Qiao Wen glanced at the newspaper and said, "Don't worry, the price will continue to rise." He returned to the bed and handed him three stacks of banknotes, "By the way, the money that Brother Feng gave you yesterday is worth today. If it’s okay, help me go to the bank to convert into Hong Kong paper, and buy all of these two stocks.”
