The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Chapter 456 Haisheng's Tears

Once the man and eldest son left, life would probably become even more difficult for her with three children.

"It would be great if we could get on a boat." Then the whole family could go with us.

Man, "It's impossible for the collective fishing boat to be rowed away for us, unless the captain and his family go too."

If there were a boat, I'm afraid there would be so many people wanting to take a ride that it might not be possible to get a seat.

The woman said, "Acai sent me a letter saying that it's easy to find work there and the money is good. I'm afraid a lot of people want to go there. Go ask around tomorrow and find a companion. I'll prepare some food for you and your son."

The woman finally agreed. Everyone wants to live a good life, but she was in a very low mood, with so much worry on her mind.

The man comforted his wife, "I will bring you some money when I make some money, and I will take you over when I have the chance."

The woman groaned in frustration, tears streaming down her face silently.

Over there, Ah Ji heard the conversation between his father and mother and became excited. He would be able to go to Hong Kong soon. Infinite hope and opportunities were waiting for him and he must make a name for himself.

A Kun felt very upset. His father and A Ji had left, but he couldn't go. He didn't have enough physical strength, and he was small and thin, so he definitely couldn't swim across. He secretly made up his mind to practice swimming well in the future and try to make the crossing in two years.

Qi Feifei heard the conversation inside and planned to follow them secretly to see where they passed through and see if he could find a chance to follow them.

After everyone in the family fell asleep, Qi Feifei quietly left the village and waited at the entrance.

The next day, groups of people started to walk out of the village, carrying baskets and food and clothes. Some of them were holding children. I wondered how they were going to get there.

Aji and his father also carried a backpack and left the village with several strong men.

Aki's old mother led her three children to see him off, giving instructions as they walked. There were tears in her eyes that she was trying to hold back, but the corners of her mouth were pulled into a stubborn curve.

The three children were reluctant to leave, but they were full of hope for the outside world. They all hoped that their father and brother could have good jobs and that the family could live a good life. It would be best if they could be taken with them.

There are people on the road who want to try their luck, and everyone has a strong desire to live a good life.

Qi Feifei could also understand why these people left their homes and businesses and risked their lives to smuggle themselves across the border.

If you cannot even get enough to eat three times a day, and you hear about a place where you can have rice, flour, chicken, duck, fish and meat every day, have a job, and save money to get married and buy a house, then you will definitely drop what you are doing and go there immediately.

As people walked further and further away, those who were seeing them off stopped one after another. Some of them stopped to watch, while others had already walked back.

Qi Feifei waited until there was no one at the village entrance, put on a fisherman's hat, and hurriedly chased after him.

The road had just rained and was not easy to walk on. It was very muddy and people were slipping all the time. Some people had no idea how many times they had fallen, but they still stubbornly got up and continued on their way without stopping for a moment.

After walking for half a day, we arrived at a big river. Many people had already gathered at the dock, waiting in line to cross the river.

Some people didn't want to queue and just jumped into the river and swam across.

It had just rained, and the water was quite wide. It took more than ten to twenty minutes to swim across. It was no problem for the fishermen.

Qi Feifei couldn't do that, she didn't know the waters well and couldn't swim, so she could only wait for the boat.

Aki and his father swam straight over.

Fortunately, Qi Feifei could now understand what they were saying, and could follow the others to find the place.

Qi Feifei waited for two hours before he could get on the boat, and it was dark when he crossed the river.

After walking for a day, Qi Feifei wanted to go back to see his son, so he walked along the side, avoiding people's sight, and entered the courtyard.

Before Qi Feifei went out, she left some milk for her son. Little Haisheng wasn't hungry, but he already knew how to look for someone.

No matter how well Huo Sheng and Bai Zhi took care of him and played with him, he still missed his mother.

As soon as Qi Feifei came back, he stretched out his two little arms, came over, and shouted "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" with two tears of grievance in his eyes, which were about to fall out.

Qi Feifei's heart melted when she saw this, but after a day of running around, her clothes and shoes were all covered in mud.

"Mom is going to wash it up, it's too dirty. I'll be back soon to pick up the baby. Be good and wait a moment."

Qi Feifei ran into the bathroom, washed herself quickly, changed her clothes and came out.

Haisheng watched Qi Feifei enter the bathroom, following her with his eyes. He pursed his lips and forced back the tears from his eyes.

Qi Feifei was taking a shower inside, and he kept staring at the bathroom.

As soon as Qi Feifei came out, he immediately grinned.

Qi Feifei took his son from Bai Zhi and kissed him on the forehead.

Xiao Hai was flapping his arms with joy, and after Qi Feifei held him firmly in his arms, he began to lift up his clothes.

Qi Feifei carried her son back to the bedroom to feed him.

Huo Sheng was busy frying, stir-frying and cooking in the kitchen.

When Qi Feifei came out, a table of food had already been prepared.

There were crucian carp soup, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, braised pork slices, three fresh vegetables, stir-fried pork with chili peppers and coriander, chili and egg sauce, cucumber and radish dipped in pickles, and two kinds of rice.

"Are you starving? Eat quickly!"

Qi Feifei was indeed hungry. She held the child in one hand and ate with big mouthfuls.

Huo Sheng sat opposite her and ate with her, helping her pick up food from time to time.

Baizhi hesitated and said, "It's not convenient to eat too much while holding the child. Can you let me hold the child?"

I wanted to say it but I was afraid Haisheng wouldn't want to, as his mother had been waiting for the whole day.

Qi Feifei understood what he meant and said, "It's okay. I'll hold you for a while."

In her previous life, she took care of four sons. Didn't eating that day feel like a battle? She was so busy that she wanted to eat half a bowl of rice in one bite.

What about table manners? Chew slowly. Eating fast is bad for your stomach. The important thing at that time is to finish eating quickly and get to work so that the children don't spill the food.

I am very lucky in this life. I met a man who can cook and take care of people, and Bai Zhi who is attentive and loves children.

Bai Zhi also knew that the mother and son needed to be closer, so she walked away.

Qi Feifei ate and rested well before leaving the courtyard. This time she brought Doubao with her and asked him to help her find the way.

Qi Feifei walked fast. Several groups of people passed by on the road, some carrying children, some with the elderly. They were tired, so they rested on the side of the road and ate something.

Qi Feifei sometimes pretended to be tired and sat nearby to listen to their chat, hoping to collect some useful information.

She can't swim at all. It is possible for her to learn to swim in a short time, but it is impossible for her to swim across the channel. Even if she is physically strong, it is unrealistic.

She had to find a way, take someone else's boat or come up with some other solution.

Those who are preparing to smuggle themselves across the border are undoubtedly the best source of information.

Qi Feifei walked around and stopped, listening to several groups of people chatting. Some had some information, some were just gossiping, and some spoke with a regional accent that was completely incomprehensible.

If anyone wants to smuggle across the border, they must go to the beach in Bao'an County. There are many smuggling locations, but the specific locations are unknown. Even if people tell them, Qi Feifei can't tell which one is which.

In short, you should go to Bao'an County first. It will be much more convenient with the specific place name.

After seven days of twists and turns, climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, we finally arrived in Bao'an County.

The inspection for smuggling here is very strict, and Qi Feifei is a foreigner, so he is particularly conspicuous. He dares not go out during the day and can only go out at night.

There is the sea to the south. No matter what, let’s go to the beach first.

Qi Feifei chose to travel to remote places, always walking on mountain roads and fields.

As I was walking, I heard voices in the distance.

"Uncle Quan, can we go to the sea tonight?"

"Don't talk, hurry up and jump into the water when you get to the beach." Whether it will succeed or not depends on tonight.

Qi Feifei quickened his pace and followed secretly behind. The two men, perhaps out of anxiety or because they heard Qi Feifei's footsteps, quickened their pace and then started running.

Qi Feifei also sped up the process. With someone leading the way, he no longer had to look around on his own.

They arrived at the beach in the middle of the night. The two people in front of them were panting and went into the sea without even taking a rest.

Qi Feifei hid behind a large rock and did not come out.

I watched the two people quickly turn into two small black dots and then disappear.

There was a patrol boat cruising on the sea in the distance, and the searchlight on it was scanning the sea surface back and forth.

Not long after, the patrol boat came closer and closer, made a circle on the nearby sea surface, and then went back to the opposite shore.

Qi Feifei was secretly worried about the two people who had just gone into the sea.

No matter how fast you swim, you can’t be faster than a motorboat!

Sure enough, the patrol boat stopped in the distance, and the lights stopped searching around for more than ten minutes. Then it started cruising around again.

Qi Feifei, it's easy to be caught if you swim over here!

Qi Feifei walked along the coastline, trying to see where it would be easier to get across and what methods others used to smuggle themselves across.

When Qi Feifei saw someone, he would go into the courtyard. If there was no one, he would come out to observe the terrain.

After wandering back and forth along the coastline for many days, I finally figured it out: the two banks are close in the middle section, there is barbed wire, and there are many patrols.

The sea on both sides is wide and there are few patrollers, so it is difficult to swim across.

Some people swam directly, some took a boat, some put tires on, and some tied a wooden board.

Some people were lucky enough to make it through, but many were caught and put in shelters.

Qi Feifei didn't want to take too much risk. She wanted to be as safe as possible. She was not smuggling to survive, so there was no need to risk her life too much.

No matter which method you use, you should first learn how to swim. Otherwise, if you fall into the sea, you will sink directly and others will have no chance to save you.

After returning to the courtyard, she shared her idea with Huo Sheng and Bai Zhi.

Huo Sheng can swim, but he has never swam in the sea.

Baizhi can't even swim, so he doesn't need to swim in his long life.

The task of teaching Qi Feifei to swim fell on Huo Sheng.

The creek in the courtyard is too small to be suitable for swimming.

Qi Feifei had no choice but to walk back and find a place where the river was calm and people were swimming. There was no one around at night, so the two of them went out to practice swimming.

Fortunately, Qi Feifei was brave enough and had good physical fitness, so he learned to swim in a few days.

Qi Feifei had just learned it and it was new and fun. He was very excited and swam very hard, staying in the water for five or six hours a day.

Half a month later, Qi Feifei had found the feeling of swimming. She could move forward several meters with each kick. She would not sink to the bottom even if she stopped. This made her feel very accomplished.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Qi Feifei swam towards the center of the river like a mermaid, swimming farther and farther away. Huo Sheng was worried and followed closely behind.

Huo Sheng vaguely saw a huge figure passing under Qi Feifei.

"Fei Fei, come back soon."

He felt uneasy and was anxious for Qi Feifei to come back quickly.

The river water in front suddenly swirled and Qi Feifei disappeared in an instant.

Huo Sheng's heart skipped a beat and began beating loudly.

He dived into the water and saw a big black creature in front of him with its mouth wide open, biting Qi Feifei.

Huo Sheng went out swimming without any weapons, so he could only use his body to crash into the big guy. Unfortunately, the water had resistance, and he tried his best but couldn't do any harm to the big guy.

It wasn't even rare enough to give him a look.

Qi Feifei naturally knew that the big guy was chasing her from behind, and she flipped her hand and the dagger was in her hand.

No matter how fast you swim, you can't compete with the big fish that is more than a person's length, and you can't escape.

She suddenly stopped, turned around and raised her hand to stab. The big fish was about to bite her leg. She had no time to stop or turn, and it hit Qi Feifei's dagger directly.

The dagger was as hard as iron and pierced the upper jaw, piercing through it. The big fish struggled hard, shook its body and tail, and rushed forward.

Qi Feifei had no foothold and was pushed forward rapidly by the big fish.

Huo Sheng swam desperately but could not catch up, and watched the man and the fish get farther and farther away.

He was completely stunned! He just stood there in the river, not knowing where to go.

Looking at the calm river surface, it took him a while to react. Qi Feifei could enter the courtyard first, and with Bai Zhi there, nothing should happen.

I swam towards the shore exhausted, but I was still worried. I must not get hurt.

Qi Feifei was pushed forward rapidly by the big fish. She originally wanted to go back to the courtyard, but the feeling of moving forward rapidly was very exciting, like flying. She let the big fish push her, and the water around her quickly passed by on both sides.

Qi Feifei thought it was very funny, but the big fish was furious. Its mouth was hurting terribly, and this dead thing was still stuck there and wouldn't come down.

The big fish gathered all its strength and swam even faster, trying to flush her down.

Qi Feifei was even more excited. If she had seen bungee jumping or hang gliding, she would probably join in happily.

She was so happy and had no fear of the unknown at all.

Seeing that she didn't move, the big fish changed its strategy and began to roll like a crocodile. Qi Feifei didn't want to be dizzy, so she grabbed the dagger and went back to the courtyard.

She didn't expect that the big fish followed her in.

It hit the grass with a bang, splashing a large amount of water.

The frightened big tiger, leopard, lynx family, fire fox family...all hid far away.

"What is this? It smells so fishy!"

The big fish was still rolling and bouncing on the grass, flattening a large area of ​​it.

Baizhi carried Haisheng out to watch the fun.

Little Haisheng flapped his arms and grinned, "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Yiyi Ah!" showing his full gums. He kicked his short legs hard.

Bai Zhi, "It's too big. You can't play with it yet. When you grow up, I'll catch you a bigger one for you to ride."
