Back to the past: Spring and Autumn Siheyuan

Chapter 408 Arrival
How did it go?

They did not choose to take a boat from Tsu to Hong Kong Island for their departure this time.

Instead, take the train from Sijiu City to Wushi, then take the ferry to the Yangtze River and take the train to Yangcheng again. After arriving there, the relevant departments will make arrangements.

This trouble is also because the Yangtze River Bridge in Wushi has not been built yet. After the bridge is completed and opened to traffic at the end of this year, you can take a direct train from Sijiu City to Yangcheng. It will be much more convenient and time-consuming.

Sitting on the train, Fang Xiaoya seemed a little panicked. This was her first time traveling far and taking a train. From the moment she left home, she followed her man step by step. I was too embarrassed to hold hands outside, and I couldn't take care of it at all at this moment, holding his hand tightly the whole time.

Knowing that it was the first time for his daughter-in-law to leave home, Li Heng took care of her even more than at home. Even if he was going to the bathroom, he would lead her and let her wait at the door.

Similarly, when the little girl went to the bathroom, he would accompany her, just to keep her from being afraid.

After the little girl came out of the bathroom, the first thing she did was to stuff her little hands into Li Heng's big hands. She had been married for a year soon, and she never thought that her man's big hands would bring her a lot of money. Such a strong sense of security.

The relevant departments for this trip arranged quite well, and provided them with sleeper berths, so that they don't have to spend thirty hours on the hard seat. You know, the maximum speed of trains in this era is only about forty per hour. Kilometers, sitting for a long time is really not a good experience.

For Fang Xiaoya, it was different. When she was away from home, panic was panic, and fear was fear, but none of these affected her curiosity about the outside world. She would always pick on her husband and ask questions. There are a hundred thousand whys.

Fortunately, Li Heng is well-informed, and he can basically answer the questions she asked. The little girl who listened was full of admiration, and her beautiful eyes were full of admiration. The staff is also staring sideways.

In the next few days, there were ferries, cars, and trains again. It was a lot of trouble for the little girl who was still in high spirits when she went out for the first time. In the last few days, the whole person was obviously listless, and the scenery outside the window could not attract her. up.

There is no way, long-distance travel is like this, if you can’t eat well and sleep well, and the sound of bang bang bang bang reverberates in your ears all day long, it will be uncomfortable for everyone.

……

From the day he found out that he was going to come to Hong Kong Island, Li Heng had envisioned many ways to come here, but what he didn't expect was that when he came here for the first time, he would use such a shameful way .

When crossing the river by ferry in Wushi, Fang Xiaoya didn't get seasick because of the size of the boat and the relatively gentle river water, but she took a small boat to cross the sea to Hong Kong Island, but she vomited so badly that she got off the boat and sat in the car After running for almost an hour, she still fell limply in Li Heng's arms, humming uncomfortably.

"I'm sorry, Director Li, do you think you need to find a clinic first?"

The staff member sitting with him in the back of the car had a look of guilt on his face.

"It's okay, seasickness is not a disease, even if you go to the clinic, there is no special solution."

Although his heart ached, Li Heng knew there was nothing he could do about it, and he should be able to recover after a couple of days of rest.

While speaking, Li Heng cast his eyes out of the car window. As for Hong Kong Island, although he had been there once in his previous life, it was only in the city center, not to mention that it is now in the 50s, and there is still a fundamental difference from that time. Knowing where he is now, he simply leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to meditate.

After several days of running around, he also felt a little tired. After tightening his wife in his arms, he completely emptied his mind and seized the time to recover his physical strength.

In this strange city, he didn't dare to let himself get tired, that would undoubtedly put his and his wife's lives in the hands of others, which he couldn't accept at all.

In this way, the car drove for about an hour before stopping. Li Heng didn't know if this place was considered the city center, but the buildings outside looked much better than the road just now.

It was already past one o'clock in the morning, and the street was quiet, and even a ghost could be seen, only the dim street lamps were constantly emitting their own light, as if they wanted to illuminate all the dark places in the world place.

"Director Li, this is a hotel run by our own people. The internal conditions are not bad. Most of the people living in it are foreigners. There is absolutely no problem in terms of safety. You and your spouse will stay here temporarily for the time being. , the meal is on the first floor, and all the expenses can be recorded on the room number."

While talking, the staff member took out something from his pocket and handed it over.

"This is two hundred Hong Kong dollars. It's considered your activity expenses here. I know it's a bit small, but there's no way. Our strength is like this."

"It doesn't matter. I don't buy anything. I don't need to spend money on food and accommodation. The money is enough for me. By the way, I want to ask, is there a post office near here? After dawn, I want to send a telegram to my family to say that I am safe. "

When Li Heng was in China, he specifically consulted the leaders of the relevant departments about sending telegrams, and the answer he got was yes.

"Yes, it's diagonally opposite the hotel, and you can see it from the side of the road. If you need to use a bank, there are several banks on this street. You'd better find HSBC, Standard Chartered or Yili, which are all available. The reputation of a big bank with the right to issue banknotes is still guaranteed, and if some small banks know that you just came from the north, they might cheat you."

The staff patiently explained to Li Heng.

Due to the nature of his work, he has often traveled between the two places in the past few years, and he has seen too many examples of fellow villagers who just came from the north who were cheated here and went bankrupt.

"Also, Director Li, you and your lover can rest here in peace for the next two days. Mingli and I still have some work matters to deal with. We will come to you again in two days. You can go out for a walk, but please don't go too far from here."

"Okay, I see. Is there anything else I need to ask?"

"The last thing is, I believe you also know the purpose of our trip. I don't know if you know how to contact your comrades. If you have any way to contact them, you can try it first. Sometimes we will come forward instead. Backfired."

This Li Heng is very clear, because he told Fu Chunlai and the others before that they must hide their political inclinations, develop with peace of mind first, and talk about other things when they are full-fledged.
