Chapter 446 Two Choices
Along the way, Ning Yuan chatted with Hu Lianwang, Tian Erliang and others about the history of Guangzhou, and kept asking passers-by on the roadside about the address left by Zheng Liang, Wu Qiang and others.
After walking for nearly an hour and a half, passing through two fishing villages and a dozen messy streets, Ning Yuan finally saw the Luzi Bay that Zheng Liang wrote about in the letter.
"Hey, Brother Yuan, it seems to be here. There's Luzi Bay written in red paint on the wall at the intersection. It should be here if we go in!"
Ning Yuan had already seen the big, clear words without Hu Lianwang reminding him.
After nodding to Hu Lianwang and Tian Erliang, Ning Yuan walked straight into the street.
The letter mentions the third courtyard, so just count from there.
The courtyards on this street cannot be compared with the large and small courtyards in the old city.
This is a courtyard surrounded by a waist-high earthen wall made of adobe bricks. The house inside is also an adobe house made of broken bricks, wooden beams, and a roof covered with gravel and mud.
This row is almost entirely made up of small houses and courtyards of this type.
There's really nothing to be so picky about. After all, this place is just a so-called backward fishing village at the moment.
Ning Yuan walked forward and when he reached the third courtyard, he didn't knock on the door. Instead, he shouted into the courtyard through the waist-high adobe wall.
"Is anyone there? Zheng Liang! Wu Qiang!"
Here, Ning Yuan had no worries and just called out their names.
Noises came from the three earthen brick houses in the yard almost at the same time.
Ning Yuan, Hu Lianwang, Tian Erliang and others watched from across the courtyard wall.
A young man came out of each of the three rooms.
Who else could it be if not Zheng Liang and Wu Qiang?
Sure enough, when these people saw Ning Yuan outside the yard, their expressions immediately relaxed a lot. They then hurried to the gate and opened it from the inside.
After Ning Yuan, Hu Lianwang and Tian Erliang entered the yard, they looked around the yard.
"Master Ning, it's hot outside. Come inside and sit down. It's cooler inside!"
Zheng Liang urged Xiao Dong and the others to go back to the house to clean up, and then he and Wu Qiang accompanied Ning Yuan for a walk in the yard and invited Ning Yuan into the house.
Ning Yuan nodded and sighed at Zheng Liang.
"Thank you guys for your hard work. I really didn't expect this place to be so desolate!"
Zheng Liang's expression changed, and then he waved his hand and spoke seriously to Ning Yuan.
"Master Ning, you're being too polite. We were all struggling to survive in Beijing back then, and you took us in, ensuring we had enough food and clothing and were not bullied. So, we're only doing a little for you, and that's what we should do!"
"That's what I said, but I have to accept your kindness. Okay, let's sit down and talk in the room. I have some plans to discuss with you guys!"
Ning Yuan nodded, pointed inside the house, and then said to Zheng Liang.
Zheng Liang naturally turned around and led the way, walked to the door in advance, and lifted the woven bamboo curtain.
After Ning Yuan and the others entered the house, they looked at the simple furnishings inside and shook their heads.
After being pulled to sit down by Zheng Liang, Ning Yuan finally got down to business with Zheng Liang and the others.
"Liangzi and Qiangzi, I have two ways to settle our group of brothers. Which one do you want to choose?"
"Master Ning, tell me, we brothers are all dead, and we don't have any worries. We can do anything, hehe!"
Zheng Liang said nonchalantly.
Ning Yuan nodded, and then spoke without any further ado.
"First of all, we brothers should settle down here first and learn some fishing. In a few years, when we have the chance, I'll arrange for you to return to the city or to the north! But I have to tell you guys something up front."
"Although this place is a bit remote, it is still part of the country after all. Therefore, there is still a chance that someone under the Zhu family will expose us. By then, we may have to run!"
Zheng Liang and Wu Qiang frowned and looked at each other, feeling a little speechless.
Ning Yuan looked at the expressions of the two men and continued speaking without waiting for them to speak.
"As for the second option, I'll arrange for you guys to sneak out. After crossing Guangzhou Bay, you'll reach Hong Kong Island. You can settle down there without any worries. Besides, you can also help me with some things!"
After hearing Ning Yuan's words, it was obvious that Zheng Liang and Wu Qiang's eyes lit up.
Hong Kong Island, this place is really a place that is both unfamiliar and longed for to them.
Indeed, if people are from other places, they may not have much knowledge about Hong Kong Island.
But for people in Beijing, places like Hong Kong Island and South Asia are almost familiar to them.
Because in the past few years, many overseas Chinese and Chinese businessmen have returned to the mainland from these places.
Their lives are completely different from those of people in the mainland.
For ordinary people, even having enough to eat is a difficult thing to dream of, but for these overseas Chinese businessmen, going to Lao Mo Xinqiao every day is almost a daily routine.
Whether it was their drunken boasting or the exaggerated propaganda of the bystanders, they were doing it to enhance their reputation in their own small circle.
In short, some young people with restless minds are really full of fantasies about these places.
According to what they said, those places are full of gold, and you can eat well, dress well, and have fun there.
So, is there any need to say more? Zheng Liangwu Qiang made his choice almost immediately.
"Master Ning, we are going to Hong Kong Island. What do you need us to do for you?"
Ning Yuan was not surprised to hear their choice.
After all, given the current environment, is it really possible to stay here and be a fisherman?
So, after Ning Yuan heard that they had made the decision, he waved his hand and said to Zheng Liang.
"Don't worry, let's do it one by one. I need to meet a few people in the next two days. Let's figure out how to sneak across first, and then we can talk about the rest!"
Zheng Liang, Wu Qiang and others nodded repeatedly. They had a deep understanding of Ning Yuan, the big boss.
With the connections he has in Beijing, it shouldn't be too difficult to settle this matter, right?
They naturally thought so.
Seeing that everyone seemed to completely trust Ning Yuan, even if Ning Yuan had difficulties, he could only bear it and solve them himself.
Because at that time, sneaking into Hong Kong Island was a very serious crime.
If a Guangzhou resident is caught while trying to cross the border illegally, he or she will be charged with "illegal relative visit" and will be detained for three months.
If a person from another province is caught while trying to sneak into the country, he or she will be directly convicted of "surrendering to the enemy and treason" and will be imprisoned for at least three years.
As for those who claim to be from the Forbidden City, their crime is even greater...
