South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Because of this incident, the Shenzhen police held a commendation meeting for Yuan Mu and others, and also informed the Ningyang police to thank Yuan Mu and others for their outstanding contributions.

I have to say that today's drug dealers are really arrogant. They often sell dozens of kilograms of drugs as if they were free.

It was also because the inspection was not strict in that era, whether it was customs or passenger transport, the inspection was not strict, which led to drug dealers having many ways to bring drugs in and out.

The three people will be escorted back to Ningyang tomorrow. This incident started in Ningyang and was also a case supervised by Ningyang personally, so in the end the people will have to be brought back to Ningyang. Originally, the police here wanted to invite Yuan Mu and others to dinner, but Yuan Mu politely declined.

I haven't had much rest for such a long time. Now that I'm in Shenzhen, Yuan Mu also gave Mingyu and the other two a day off so that he could go for a walk and buy some rare things to bring back home for his family.

After all, this is a special economic zone, and its development is much better than that of the Northeast. Many things here are things that have never been seen in the Northeast.

But that was relative to people of this era. As someone who traveled through time from the future, what had he not seen? Shenzhen now seemed prosperous, but compared to the future, it was nothing. Most of the stalls now were street vendors, similar to night markets.

At night, Yuan Mu was walking on a busy night market street. There were vendors hawking their wares on both sides. They were selling everything, including food, clothing, and daily necessities.

I looked at this and that, wondering what to buy? How about buying two sets of fashionable clothes? I have to go to Director Zhao's house before the Chinese New Year. He has a child. He came to visit last year and was quite polite to me.

And this Director Zhang, his rank is too high. Although I won the first place in the competition and he thinks highly of me, the difference in our status is too big. I don't know if it would be a good idea to just go to his house rashly.

The main reason is that Yuan Mu is afraid that the other party will not see him, which would be a bit embarrassing. Let's wait and see, and ask after returning to Ningyang.

I also have to go to the prison. I can't cut off my relationship with Zhang Meng. I guess he has more than one comrade-in-arms like Director Zhao. It is necessary to establish a good relationship with him. Even if he can't help me, it's still good to have him as a friend.

There is also Captain Jiang and the instructor of the Criminal Police Team, as well as Director Liu of the Public Security Branch. He has to go and take a look at them all. He had heard before that Director Liu seemed to be moving. As for where he would be transferred to, that was unknown. However, one thing was certain, he would definitely be promoted.

Alas, it is not easy to be an official, especially when you are of a low rank, you have to take care of everything.

Just then, Yuan Mu saw a ragged man squatting in a corner. His hair was disheveled and he seemed to have not washed it for a while. He looked quite dishevelled. There was a broken bowl in front of him and occasionally someone would throw a coin into it.

"Thank you, thank you!" Whenever someone threw money, this person would smile and say thank you repeatedly.

Yuan Mu felt a sense of familiarity from his profile. Out of curiosity, he walked over, took out a dollar from his pocket and threw it into his bowl.

The man was immediately delighted when he saw such a large amount of money, and then he raised his head and thanked her repeatedly, but when he saw Yuan Mu's face clearly, he was stunned.

Not only the man was stunned, Yuan Mu was also stunned. Isn’t this Hou Sanjin!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A food stall.

Yuan Mu and Hou Sanjin were sitting at the table. At this moment, Hou Sanjin was eating his meal in big mouthfuls. If he choked, he would drink some drink and continue eating.

Yuan Mu was watching from the side with a grin on his face. How long has this guy been hungry?

"I told you to eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you!"

Hou Sanjin was mumbling something, but no one knew what he was saying. Yuan Mu quickly waved his hands.

"Okay, eat first, eat first, and we'll talk later."

Yuan Mu shook his head, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and just watched Hou Sanjin eat. This might be the earliest live broadcast of eating, right? The key is that this is real eating.

About twenty minutes later, Hou Sanjin ate five bowls of rice and cleaned up the dishes in front of him. Then he wiped his mouth with a look of unsatisfied feeling and drank the drink beside him.

"How is it? Are you full? Do you need some more?" Yuan Mu looked at him and said, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

"No need, Brother Yuan, that's enough. I'm full." Hou Sanjin touched his stomach with satisfaction.

"Now that you're full, tell me what happened. How did you become like this? And what happened to your leg?" Yuan Mu looked him up and down, focusing on his legs. He had just noticed that Hou Sanjin's legs were limping.

"Oh!" Hou Sanjin's face darkened, and then he sighed heavily, picked up Yuan Mu's cigarette on the table, lit it, took a deep puff, and then slowly spoke.

"Since I came to Shenzhen last time, everything has been going smoothly. I see that this thing can make money. Plus, I had some capital at the time, so I thought about getting more goods. I'll do a big deal and then I'll be rich."

"But I never expected that the man was a liar. He took my money and ran away, leaving me with only a dozen dollars in my pocket. Brother Yuan, I really wanted to die at that time, but in the end I didn't die. I thought there might be a chance to make a comeback."

"I came back by train, and wanted to borrow some capital from my friends to start over, but they were all bad friends. Who would be willing to lend me money? I had no other choice. I thought about going back to my old job, but I always remembered what you said to me, and I didn't lend you a hand after all."

"Later, I returned to Shenzhen, thinking I could work for others and save some money. But I was robbed in a village in Shenzhen a few days ago. All the money I brought from home was taken away, and they beat me up. My leg was injured because of the beating."

"I want to work, but no one wants me. I can't bear to beg for food. To be honest, Brother Yuan, today is the fourth day I've been hungry. I haven't eaten properly for four days. I really can't stand it. So I thought I could ask for some money at night so I could have a full meal. That's how I met you."

"Brother Yuan, you don't know, I cried when I saw you. Oh my God, I saw my loved one! Brother Yuan! You are my benefactor! You saved me from danger many times!" Hou Sanjin said with tears and snot.

Yuan Mu felt both sad and funny when looking at Hou Sanjin. However, Hou Sanjin was okay. He did not go back to his old ways even in this situation. The most important thing was that he did not participate in drug smuggling. This was good. It seemed that he had really turned over a new leaf.
