C1423 To Fight for Survival
Throughout the entire process, the girl kept looking at Qiu Tong and Jin Jingxiu. Jin Jingxiu kept looking at the girl as well, her eyes filled with disappointment and confusion.
The things had been brought in, one box after another.
Six boxes.
"Big sister, let me help you calculate. All these items cost a total of 5680 yuan!" The captain said, "Do you want to come and take another count?"
"No need." As she spoke, Jin Jingxiu opened her bag and took out two stacks of RMB. With one glance, she could tell that it was twenty thousand RMB from the bank.
I don't know when Jin Jingxiu got her hands on these yuan.
Then, Jin Jingxiu passed the points to the captain, "Give them all to them, there's no need to look for them. The rest of the money is for them personally. Tell them not to hand it over when they return! "
"Ooo@@
Having a bicycle at home was considered good, but having a motorcycle was akin to being a nouveau riche in Korea. 10,000 yuan was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for them.
The man had reason to be stunned.
Seeing the man's expression and seeing the timid and pretty girl beside him, Jin Jingxiu's eyes suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and said, "Let's go."
I looked at Qiu Tong. Her eyes were red.
I couldn't help but feel a little sour in my heart.
When we were some distance away, I saw the man standing at the prow of the boat. The girl was still looking in our direction.
Continuing down the river, they came to a place with mountains on both sides. A group of Korean women squatted by the river to wash clothes.
In such a cold day, the Yalu River was freezing cold. They were actually washing clothes by the river. I felt a little incredible.
Jin Jingxiu said to the captain, "Get close!"
The captain slowly approached the boat and stopped less than a meter from the shore. I looked around and didn't see any soldiers of the People's Army standing guard.
Jin Jingxiu looked at the Korean women who were washing their clothes. They were also looking at her.
Jin Jingxiu's eyes were red again. It was unknown what she was thinking about as she sighed and said to the captain, "Give them the things we just bought!"
"Ooo@@
"Let me help you!" I said to the captain.
The captain came back to his senses and said something to the shore. The women all came over happily.
I stretched as close to the shore as I could and handed the women the things Jin Jingxiu had just bought.
They were talking excitedly, and although I couldn't understand what they were saying, I knew they were thanking me.
Then I saw Jin Jingxiu with her head down wiping her eyes with a tissue.
Qiu Tong turned around and looked at the sky.
Then, as we turned around and walked back to the other side of the island, I saw a small dock on the shore, made of simple wood, with a couple of women in down jackets and two soldiers with guns on their backs.
I let the captain approach the dock.
"These women are the general's family!" the captain said.
These family members of the generals don't look too high-end either. They look about the same as the ordinary women here, but in Korea, this can be considered high-end.
As the ship approached, I looked curiously at the women and soldiers.
The soldiers looked at us warily, and the women turned away from us.
"These women are all important figures in Korea. Their men are respected. They are also respected. They are different from those from earlier. They are not willing to be visited by our tourists like animals!" the captain said.
My heart skipped a beat and I couldn't bear to keep looking.
The cruise ship sped up and left.
On the way back, Jin Jingxiu, who had been silent all this time, said something that made me sound very heavy: "What we are doing today is actually hurting their self-esteem. But …
Apparently, Jin Jingxiu also realized something, but her heart was filled with contradictions. She wanted to help the poor people, but she also knew she was hurting them.
I thought: When a man goes to the point of fighting for his life, he has no self-respect!
This is what Qin told me before, this is the experience he gained after being bathed in blood for many years in his Golden Triangle.
Thinking about the Korean People's Army soldiers who asked for cigarettes just now, and thinking about the father and daughter fishing in Korea, I couldn't help but sigh.
I thought about Qin, I thought about Zhi Qing and their descendants in the tropical forest who had fought for their survival in Golden Triangle, and I thought about Lee Shun who had escaped to Golden Triangle to live a peaceful life.
It had been a while since he received any news from Lee Shun's side, he didn't know how his current situation was, and he didn't know what his Revolutionary Army was doing recently.
At this time, in this place, it would very soon be a severe winter, and at the Golden Triangle, that place was still hot and humid.
After Wu De's fake actions last time, Lee Shun and Wu De's relationship was temporarily relatively calm and at peace for a while.
Although they were at peace, I knew that this was only temporary. Kong Kun incident, Lee Shun and Wu De both knew it, it's just that both of them had a tacit understanding.
I know that there will be a fight between Lee Shun and Wu De sooner or later. Sooner or later, they will tear off all decorum.
Wu De seemed to have remained silent recently, as did Lee Shun.
A temporary silence, perhaps accumulating more energy, waiting for the right moment to erupt.
Both sides might be waiting for the best opportunity to attack, the most advantageous moment for them. For Wu De and Lee Shun, this advantage didn't only seem to be a tactical advantage, but more like a strategic and moral one.
After all, the relationship between the two of them was extremely special and could not be imagined by ordinary people. This kind of incomprehensible method was especially applicable to Lee Shun.
As I thought about this, my heart began to stir.
After landing and taking a break, we drove on, heading for the next target, Fairy Bay.
At this time, I received a text message from Du Jianguo: "We have arrived at Danton, and are starting to go down from the high speed."
Lee Shun's father came to the Danton.
I knew he was after Jin Jingxiu.
I drove on, maintaining a speed of about forty paces.
Jin Jingxiu seemed to be immersed in the depressing atmosphere brought by the trip to the Yalu River. She sat in the car silently.
Qiu Tong didn't say anything either. She was completely absorbed in looking out of the window.
After about half an hour, they arrived at the Celestial Bay, where the Yalu River Hydropower Station was located.
"Aunt Jin, we've arrived at the Immortal Bay!" I said as I drove.
"Oh." Jin Jingxiu snapped out of her daze and looked outside the car.
"Ahead is the Yalu River Hydropower Station!" I pointed to the dam on the right.
"Yes." Jin Jingxiu nodded. "The scenery here is really good. The dam is very spectacular!"
"Are we going to stop here and take a look?" Qiu Tong said.
Jin Jingxiu frowned as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she said, "Move forward, continue walking along the river!"
I was slightly startled but didn't say anything as I continued driving forward.
Qiu Tong also looked at me in the rear-view mirror.
After passing the hydroelectric station, the road began to narrow down. On both sides were steep mountains, and the river surface also became somewhat narrow. Although it was narrow, the water shortage was very deep.
At this moment, a small village appeared in front of them. The village was not big, and some red tile houses were scattered on the hillside and beside the river.
"We... There. " Jin Jingxiu's voice sounded a little agitated.
I looked at Jin Jingxiu in the mirror and saw something strange in her expression. She was staring straight ahead at the little village.
When they reached the side of the village, they stopped at an empty lot. The village was very quiet, and they would occasionally see people walking around.
Although it was winter, the scenery around him was extremely beautiful. The mountains were surrounded by tall mountains, and on the mountains were evergreen pines. The water surface also became wider, giving off a beautiful picture of green mountains and clear water.
There were two farmhouse restaurants near the open space, with several cars parked. Apparently, in the spring and autumn of the summer, there were many people who came to play. Even though it was winter, there were still people who came to play.
Our arrival did not attract the attention of the surrounding villagers. It seemed that they were used to people coming here often to have fun.
Jin Jingxiu and Qiu Tong got out of the car. Jin Jingxiu looked around and pursed her lips. It seemed that she was quite excited.
Then she headed for the river, and Qiu Tong followed her.
I got out of the car and casually walked around for a bit. There was a stone tablet next to me. I walked over and saw three large words engraved on it: Reliance Village.
I immediately understood that this was the Reliance Village, the village where Lee cut in line back then. It was the place where Lee and Aunt Jin knew each other back then.
I understood why Jin Jingxiu was here. I understood why her expression had turned agitated.
She came here to revisit.
Lee obviously realized something when he heard that Jin Jingxiu wanted to come to the Celestial Immortal Bay. He obviously knew why Jin Jingxiu wanted to come here.
He didn't know what Lee was feeling at the moment, nor did he know if he was also very excited.
I watched as Jin Jingxiu and Qiu Tong turned a corner and disappeared into the river. I didn't follow them and continued to stroll around.
There was an old man leaning against the wall and enjoying the sun. He was smoking a pipe while a yellow dog lay beside him with its eyes half-closed. It seems that he was too used to coming here to look at me.
I went over and sat cross-legged beside the old man, leaning against the wall.
The old man looked at me without expression.
I chuckled at him. "Greetings, old grandpa!"
"Ok." The old man continued smoking.
"How old are you?" I took out my cigarette and handed it to him.1
He looked at me again, put down his pipe, took the cigarette, and looked at it.
I said, "How do you know it's good?"
"Isn't this Chinese cigarettes? Do you think I don't know him? " the old man said.
I chuckled and asked again, "How old are you?"
As I spoke, I took out my lighter and lit his cigarette.
The old man took two puffs of the cigarette, then stretched out his right index finger and gave a thumbs up. "I'm 88 this year!"
Hearing that, I couldn't help but be stunned. This old man looks to be about 70 years old. I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to see through his 88 years old appearance.
"You're in great health, you're absolutely amazing!" I gave him a thumbs-up.
"Hur hur." The old man smiled with pride and modestly continued, "I'm old. However, I can still do my work now. I can still cook and do my own housework, and push forward a few years. I can even go fishing in the river! "
"The air here is good, the water is good, and you can live for a hundred years!" I flattered him.
I didn't expect the old man to suddenly get angry and give me a dissatisfied look.
I started, not knowing I'd said the wrong thing.
