Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 431, own people
"How was the journey? You were quite fast!" Wang Qingsong said to Shirley as he watched her enter the house.

Du Wanting shrugged and smiled: "It's going smoothly. If I had to apply for a visa first, it would be very troublesome."

Wang Qingsong nodded. The visa application process was different in each period.

Although we don't want to admit it, during this period, people generally believe that the * Islands belong to the Commonwealth, and even people from the mainland feel that going there is like going abroad.

It seems that for a period of time, Hong Kong Island’s federal identity was not recognized.

No longer have the privilege of being able to travel throughout the federation with just an ID card.

While I was thinking, I saw Shirley changed her clothes and came out again.

"Okay, we're ready to go."

Du Wanting thought of what Wang Qingsong said before that he came here illegally, so she said, "Be careful later, don't get caught."

Wang Qingsong nodded: "Don't worry, if I really get caught, just leave me alone, do you hear me?"

Even if he was caught, he would naturally find a way to escape from here.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Du Wanting rolled her eyes at him in reproach.

Then several people left the hotel.

Take a taxi and head towards the city center.

(The visa on arrival needs to be processed at the airport. I missed it earlier, so I will correct it here.)
……

On the way, Wang Qingsong was looking at the environment here curiously.

A lot of foreigners.

The buildings are naturally much better than those in the mainland.

It feels about the same level of prosperity as Central in Hong Kong Island, with concrete roads, various cars on the road, and people dressed fashionably.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a luxurious hotel.

Du Wanting took out US dollars to pay the bill, and several people got out of the car.

Looking up at the ten-story hotel, Wang Qingsong asked, "How do I find someone?"

There's no phone now!

Shirley shook her head: "I don't know, let's go to the lobby first. If that doesn't work, I'll call her. Let's go in first!"

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the hotel.

Wang Qingsong was watching from there. The decoration was very luxurious and looked a bit like the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong Island.

It looks very grand.

Arriving at the spacious hall, several people were looking around.

After a while, I heard an excited shout: "Shirley."

Shirley turned her head and saw a girl in a long skirt and a light-colored headscarf walking towards her quickly.

The girl was obviously Caucasian, with big eyes and a high nose bridge, and she looked very pretty.

"Hestia!"

Shirley also walked over happily.

After the other person came over, they hugged each other and kissed each other on the cheek. The other person was surprised and said, "Oh my god, I can't believe it..."

And Shirley was there responding gracefully.

Then Shirley introduced: "This is Miss Hestia, she is my classmate at the University of Washington..."

Du Wanting quickly translated into English: "This is Miss Hestia, Shirley's classmate at the University of Washington."

And Shirley naturally introduced the two of them.

Hestia smiled and stretched out her hand: "Hello..."

After saying a lot, Wang Qingsong still didn't understand, fortunately there was a translator.

He quickly stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other person.

Hestia looked at the two of them and first communicated with Du Wanting in English. Both of them seemed very calm.

Finally, the girl looked at Wang Qingsong and muttered something.

Du Wanting next to her was translating: "She said you are so handsome!"

Wang Qingsong came back to his senses, smiled and nodded: "Thank you!"

The others won’t, but this one will!

Du Wanting covered her mouth and smiled.

Shirley looked at Wang Qingsong with a slightly anxious expression and said with a smile: "Let's go! Let's go to the coffee shop first!"

Then they moved to a cafe on the second floor.

After simply ordering a few cups of coffee and a fruit plate, Shirley got straight to the point.

After all, this is the purpose of coming here.

Then I heard Hess explain the general situation.

The incident happened half a month ago. An Eastern ship ran aground and the extent of the damage is unclear.

At first, the people here offered 5 US dollars to tow the boat to the repair shop at the dock, but they were rejected by the Orientals.

It seems like he is waiting for someone.

But after waiting for a while, the price of the tugboat rose to 1 US dollars.

These people disagreed even more.

Wang Qingsong frowned after hearing this.

He had already guessed the key point.

That is just as we speculated before, there might really be something wrong with this batch of goods, otherwise it would have to be repaired even if it costs five thousand dollars!
The reason why Han Weiguo and others refused.

Part of the reason is that there is something wrong with these goods and they are worried about being discovered.

Another reason is that Han Weiguo and his men are waiting for rescue from their side.

If this is the case, these people should not be in any major danger in the short term.

Because these people were trapped on the island.

Hess said the reason why there is uncertainty now is because of supply.

Because Han Weiguo and his people have refused again and again, no one is providing them with supplies now, so they have to endure it for a while.

At the seaside, food may not be a big problem, but drinking water may be the biggest problem.

Anafi Island is an inhabited island near where Han Weijun had the accident. There are boats going there, but the flights are not regular.

Whether you can catch a boat going there depends entirely on luck.

Athens is close to the sea, and the pier is only about six kilometers away.

After getting the information he wanted, Wang Qingsong said to Shirley, "How about this, you two get a room first, so that I can find you when I come back, and then you two go to the dock to help me find the boat to that place, okay?"

Du Wanting frowned: "Are you going alone?"

"Well, I'll go take a look first! Don't worry, I won't do anything rash. If there are any problems, I'll come to you."

This place is more than a hundred kilometers away from where the incident happened.

Once he gets nearby, even if they don't speak the same language, he will be able to find it quickly, provided that Han Youjun's information is accurate.

If it's not accurate, it will be troublesome.

Fortunately, Han Youjun and Miss Hess had similar information, so now all they had to do was get near the island.

I'll look for it slowly when the time comes.

This time when he goes back, he must ask Du Wanting to apply for long-term visas for him all over the world, otherwise it would be too troublesome.

Seeing him say that, Du Wanting hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "Okay, be careful, we'll stay in this hotel! When the time comes, you can just come here."

Wang Qingsong nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then looked at Shirley: "Ms. Shirley, thank Miss Hess for me. We will go to the dock in a while."

If he didn't know English, he would have gone there by himself.

Shirley naturally translated it when she heard it.

Hess smiled softly: "You're welcome, Mr. Wang. Thank you for sending Shirley to me! (Translation)"

They exchanged some pleasantries, drank some coffee and went downstairs.

Opened two rooms.

When it was time to go out, Hess offered to follow behind, as not everyone here spoke English, and some spoke the local Greek.

Wang Qingsong was naturally extremely grateful.

After leaving the hotel, we got into Hess's car and drove to the beach.

It’s a six-kilometer road with not many traffic lights, so we arrived at the destination in just a few minutes.

It was already half past four in the afternoon.

He could only stay here until 2 a.m. because of the time difference. He had to get to the factory before 8:30 a.m. When the car arrived at the dock, the sea was very rough.

He looked up information and found that Greece is one of the countries with the longest coastline in the world, with more than 6000 islands in the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea.

The majority of them are located near Athens.

And some of the islands here can be bought and sold.

As long as what you do here does not violate local laws, this island will always be yours and you will have permanent ownership of it.

Buy an island for fun?
This thought flashed through his mind, and then he put it behind him.

This is something that will happen later.

Hess is the host here, so it is natural for her to ask.

As they walked, Shirley said to Wang Qingsong in Chinese: "Mr. Wang, Miss Hess's lover is the director of the ophthalmology department of Athens General Hospital. I talked to her about hyaluronic acid."

Wang Qingsong was stunned for a moment, then said: "No problem, you can discuss this matter with Wanting when the time comes, I won't take care of this matter."

Hearing this, Shirley raised her eyebrows.

He looked at Du Wanting next to him and nodded: "Okay! Then I will discuss this matter with her."

With Hess as the local communication channel, efficiency is naturally very high.

There are no ships going there.

But if you offer a high price, some people are willing to go.

In local currency, it costs $20 per trip.

When I heard that I could go, money was naturally no problem.

40 US dollars is equivalent to 4 days’ salary for Americans today, which is not a small amount.

And according to the people here, it only takes two hours to reach the destination, and half a day to go back and forth.

"Okay! Sure!"

Wang Qingsong agreed immediately.

After getting his consent, Hess took him to a speedboat at the edge of the river, which was similar in shape to those in later generations.

The man driving the boat was a bearded man about forty years old.

After a brief conversation, Wang Qingsong asked for Du Wanting's Bagua mirror back, and then said to Du Wanting and the others, "Okay, you guys go back first. I'll come find you when I'm done."

"Then be careful yourself!"

Du Wanting said worriedly.

Wang Qingsong smiled and nodded.

At this time, the boatman did not leave in a hurry, but shouted, but he could not understand anyway.

But there is a translation.

Then Shirley explained: "He is looking for someone to go with him."

Wang Qingsong understood that they were going to share the boat.

Sure enough, after a while, a good person got on the boat.

It seems that these people are all locals.

He didn't know how much money was given.

After a long time, no one agreed, so the other party prepared to start sailing.

Du Wanting and others also left one after another.

"hi~"

While I was thinking, a young man ran over with something in his hand.

Communicating with each other in English.

But this voice made him feel a little strange.

It’s not that I know this person, but this person’s face and scattered English always give me a familiar feeling.

Domestic translation.

He was wearing a mask at the time, so even acquaintances couldn't recognize him.

After a brief communication, the other party reluctantly took out $5 and handed it to him, then carried the things onto the boat.

The boatman said something to Wang Qingsong cheerfully.

Wang Qingsong didn't understand and just smiled.

The boatman untied the rope, started the boat, and headed towards the sea.

The feeling of driving the boat and being on the boat are completely different.

The speed seems to be only about sixty at most.

But he felt like the boat was about to capsize at any moment.

The young man with an oriental face who boarded the boat last sat there calmly.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qingsong had a guess in his mind.

With this thought in mind, he looked at the high-raised bow of the ship, and the thumping feeling every time the ship fell down always made him feel uncomfortable.

The boat was sailing on the sea, feeling the strong wind blowing.

Not far away, you can see with the naked eye many islands scattered on the sea.

The ship stopped at several docks along the way, and most of the people got off the ship in the middle.

There was only him and the young man with an oriental face.

Two hours later, it was almost dusk and the boat stopped at a pier. The two got off the boat one after another.

Wang Qingsong frowned.

Because he felt like vomiting.

Shaking his thoughts off, he watched the young man in front of him carrying something and moving forward quickly, and he hurriedly followed.

The island is large, but there are obviously few people.

Maybe because it was dusk, there was no one at the ferry, only a few small paths winding upwards.

The other party did not take the upward road, but instead headed west along the road.

Wang Qingsong looked around and followed quietly.

It is summer now and there are many woods on the road.

"Don't move!!"

Suddenly, someone shouted from the woods nearby.

I saw the young man coming out of the woods with a knife in his hand.

Wang Qingsong frowned and looked at the other person.

No words!
Seeing that he didn't speak, the other party continued: "Who are you? What do you want to do with me?"

His hand reached to his waist.

There was obviously a weapon on his waist, which was obviously not there before.

Wang Qingsong wanted to show off, but the problem was that he didn’t know English!

After thinking for a while, he said, "Chinese?"

These words made the other party stunned for a moment.

“From Henan?”

The other party was puzzled for a moment and asked tentatively.

Wang Qingsong tried his best not to reveal his accent and could only imitate the weird Henan accent.

I didn't expect that I could hear it right away.

I feel that my previous guess was correct, so I don’t plan to bother with it, and I don’t have the time to do it.

Let’s get straight to the point.

He said directly: "I heard that a ship ran aground here. Is this true? I'm here to help!"

This shocked him even more.

He thought the other party was trying to extort money from him. After all, this was an island and not many people would care what he did, as long as he didn't make too much noise.

To put it bluntly, even if you kill the other person, it will be fine as long as no one sees it.

But I didn't expect this to be the case.

His mind thought about this question quickly, and then he quickly asked: "How did you know? Who asked you to come?"

Wang Qingsong shook his head: "Now the news has spread all over the nearby islands! We are all Chinese people. If we know about it, we will definitely help if we can."
