Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 81: A True Love Story
After nearly two days of busy work for the family, on the third day the two set out on their journey to the South Island.

Their plan is to first take a train to Changzhou in the south, and then take a boat to South Island. The journey is expected to take half a month.

Transportation is not very convenient now, so they added a lot of food to the supplies they prepared. It is very inconvenient to eat and dress when going out.

Fortunately, they were not short of money and had many people to help them. When Zhang Fang's family learned that the two were going out, they also helped them to use their connections to find supplies.

Therefore, they were able to prepare for the trip in a short time, and Zhang Lei found his former comrade-in-arms and arranged a sleeper compartment for the two of them, which was a treatment only high-ranking leaders could enjoy.

They also went through some special procedures to get this treatment with the help of Zhang Lei and avoid too many people seeing them.

On the day of their actual departure, no one came to see them off. This was for confidentiality reasons. They were afraid that too many people would attract attention, so only the couple boarded the train heading south.

After getting on the bus, Zheng Lan showed an excited expression. After all, she had not been out for a while. And this time she was going out with her husband, which was a brand new experience.

Influenced by her, Wang Li's sadness of leaving his hometown was relieved and he began to fantasize about this long journey.

In a blink of an eye, the two had been in the car for several days, from the initial excitement and novelty to the boredom later.

Because the car speed is slow and there are no entertainment activities, the two of them spend most of their time lying in bed, reading some books they brought to kill time, and the rest of the time is spent practicing.

That day, Wang Li said to Zheng Lan: My dear wife, although this trip is to avoid the Eagle Sauce Special Agents, it can also be seen as a honeymoon trip. During this time, we can relive the feeling of being in love.

After hearing this, Zheng Lan was slightly stunned and asked: What do you mean?
Wang Li said: You have received Western education, so you should know that Westerners value love very much. During this trip, the two of us can relive the process of our love affair.

Because we got married not too long after we started dating, we can relive that feeling this time. Now it's just the two of us, we can do whatever we want and be free. As long as we are in a good mood, it's fine, what do you think?
Zheng Lan said: You have so many ideas! Okay, let's just pretend we are in love, then let's move underground to live at night.

When Wang Li heard her words, he was stunned. He said awkwardly: Forget it. If I do this, wouldn’t I be shooting myself in the foot?

Zheng Lan looked at his embarrassment and said jokingly with a smile: Isn't this what love is like?
Time passed silently, and two days later, the two got off at Changzhou Station near South Island.

It is not as developed as later generations, with tall buildings everywhere. But the economy is still OK, after all, it is close to the South Island, and in order to strengthen the connection between the mainland and the South Island, the shipping industry here is quite developed.

The two stayed in Changzhou Guesthouse for one night and then boarded the ship to South Island. The ship was not big and it was very bumpy on the sea, but fortunately, both of them were martial artists and were able to adjust their qi and blood, so they did not get seasick.

The two arrived at South Island in less than a day. At that time, South Island had not been developed. The island was basically all forests and rural areas. The cities were small and the roads were mostly dirt roads. The vehicles on the road were not cars of later generations, but mostly horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts.

The two first found a local who could speak Mandarin and asked him to take them to the largest guesthouse in the area.

It should be mentioned here that the two had already obtained letters of introduction before coming out, and their nominal mission here was to purchase fruit and timber.

You have to know that at that time, it was very difficult to travel without a letter of introduction, and people might even report you as an enemy spy.

After resting in the guesthouse for two days, the two had initially adapted to the sultry weather. With the introduction of the guesthouse staff, they rented a small courtyard from local people near the sea in the city, where they could hear the sound of the waves.

The surrounding area is full of fishermen's families, and the neighbors are very simple. (In fact, there was also the help of special agents, otherwise it would not have been so smooth)

The two of them had found a foothold in South Island and began their real life as a couple.

During the day, Wang Li would go fishing with the surrounding fishermen, while Zheng Lan would do housework and dry seafood at home. The two of them truly lived the life of fishermen.

Although the living conditions here are poor, the scenery is beautiful and the surrounding neighbors are very welcoming and do not exclude the two outsiders.

Because they were very generous, they gave away the dried vegetables they brought to the neighbors around them.

They will also distribute some of the northern specialties they brought to the children around them, so that they can become popular in this small place by the sea.

In addition, Zheng Lan is very beautiful, gentle, virtuous, emotionally intelligent, and good at speaking. Wang Li is strong, powerful, and able to do physical work, which is also the reason why they are popular.

During this period, the two sent telegrams or wrote letters to their families many times, introducing their current living conditions to reassure their family members.

The couple have adapted well to the current island life and climate and have not suffered from any acclimatization problems. After all, they both have good physical fitness after practicing martial arts.

Thank you all for your support. The work will be on the shelves tomorrow. I hope you will continue to support this book.

I wish you all good health and success in your work. The author would like to express his gratitude here! ! ! !
