Chapter 72 Downwind Boat

Swimming, swimming, I don't know how long I have been swimming, the sky has changed from bright to dark.

During this period, Li Ling also saw some floating corpses. These were stowaways. I don't know how many dead souls there are on this road every year.

Li Ling groped through these floating corpses, collected all their valuables, and put them into his waterproof leather bag.

Hurrah, only the sound of splashing water came to my ears.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Li Ling looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw clearly that it was a small wooden boat with people on board, quite a few.

"Brother Longtail, there seems to be a shark there!" A boy's voice came.

"Where there are sharks in Deep Bay, only in Dapeng Bay! He should be a Hong Kong escapee who swam across the river!" The voice of the person who answered the call was older.

Li Ling heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and finally saw someone.

Shenwan is in the ns area, and Dapeng Bay is in the yt area. The people on board speak Cantonese again. It seems that it is a stowaway boat, and it seems that I can take a ride with the wind.

The boat quickly rowed to the side, and squatting on the bow was a middle-aged man with long braids. His nickname 'Long Tail' probably came from his hairstyle.

The long-tailed man teased Li Ling with his unique sissy: "Beautiful boy, broke down? You are quite strong, just take a tire, so you won't be afraid of being tired and belching your fart?"

"If you let me take the boat, then I will definitely not be exhausted." Li Ling's tone was as relaxed as his.

"Want to take a boat?" The long-tailed man chuckled, turned and pointed at the passengers on the boat, "Each of them paid 2000 yuan for the boat, and I will guarantee their smuggling.

I have a "buying customs" relationship in Hong Kong, and I can send them across Tin Shui Wai at the designated time and place, and safely pass through the jurisdiction of the Border Police Force. This is called one-stop service! "

He turned his gaze back, "Little boy, I have principles in my work, as long as you pay enough money, I'll win you over, but if you're an iron cock, then you can continue to swim in your sea, and I'll row my boat, and we'll break up. "

Li Ling listened to the words, and his thoughts changed frequently. In the real world, Li Ling has a friend who works for a luxury passenger ship of a shipping company in Shenzhen, and travels between Shenzhen and Xiangjiang all the year round. The ticket price is only 300 yuan, but now it costs [-] yuan to take a small wooden boat. The black heart of the long-tailed man makes him speechless.

Of course, the cost of smuggling is involved here, but the problem is that it is only 1983, and the salary of an ordinary worker in mainland China is only a dozen yuan a month. It's been a year, it's a vampire!

"Boss, I took the boat halfway, so I shouldn't have paid the full fare. Besides, we are from the same village, so it's cheaper for you!" Li Ling's purpose was not to bargain, but to get more useful information through conversation.

"It's because of my fellow countrymen that I'll give you a chance to take a boat. Don't go overboard, and the boat fare won't be less than a penny!" The long-tailed man refused to let go.

Then he gave an appropriate explanation, "I didn't earn this money alone, most of it was bribed to the police officers of the Jianbizui sentry. They are the royal police, the lackeys of the capitalists, and they don't recognize the money. Good thing they will definitely stop you.

'Swimming', 'Escape from Hong Kong', 'Buying Customs', 'Royal Police', these are all commonly used words before the handover.

"Boss, everyone has difficulties! Why do I have to swim by myself if I have so much money?"

Li Ling decided to board the ship first, and then talk slowly. He discussed with the long-tailed man, "How about paying when you arrive at the shore?"

"You dream!" The long-tailed man sneered and refused.

Seeing that he disagreed, Li Ling made a small request, "Boss, I have money in my bag, but I can't open it in the sea. You let me borrow a little space on the boat, and I will open the bag to withdraw the money! Don't worry, I won't open the bag." Get on the boat, I'll just lie down on the side of the boat!"

Li Ling showed a gesture of goodwill.

"No problem, you can lie down wherever you want!" The long-tailed man should be self-sufficient, and he is not afraid of his tricks, but he still urged: "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry!"

Li Ling swam to the stern before reaching out to clamp the side of the boat, put the cowhide bag on it, and wiped the water.

The cowhide bag was well sealed. If I dared to jump into the sea in this world, I carried a waterproof bag on my back. Li Ling also made a fortune during this journey, and found some money and belongings from the dead floating corpses.

He opened the bag, and the first thing he touched was the dry food he brought.

Taking advantage of the light, he picked through the bag, most of which were clothes.He continued to search for the bottom of the bag. He was afraid of losing his money, so he put all the valuables at the bottom.

They found a pile of money, all fragmented Hong Kong dollars, presumably those stowaways found someone to exchange them in advance.

Hong Kong dollars are in circulation in Guangdong Province, and ordinary merchants are willing to accept them.

There was a young boy sitting beside the boat where Li Ling was lying on his stomach. He asked casually, "Young boy, what year was he born at such a young age? Are you worried about your family if you take the black boat in the middle of the night?"

"I'm going to Hong Kong Island to find my family!" The boy's voice was muffled, sounding naive, "Boss, I was born in 70, and I'm 13 years old this year!"

Born in 70, 13 years old?Li Ling just thought it was interesting, I was born in the 90s.

"Hey, what are you procrastinating about? You don't have any money, hurry up and don't delay my business! In half an hour it will be the handover time. If you go late, the whole ship will rush to the street!" The long-tailed man saw Li Ling just stayed there looking through the bag, urging him loudly.

"I have plenty of money!" Li Ling didn't delay anymore, and counted all the Hong Kong dollars. Damn, it's only a few hundred dollars, so little, no wonder the group of people wanted to swim by themselves.

Relentless, Li Ling took off the ancestral gold necklace hanging around his neck. The long-tailed man often does smuggling business, and it will be easy to find him in the future, so he can redeem it later.

"It's made of pure gold. My mother gave it to me as an heirloom. It can be sold for more than 1 yuan. It can be used as a boat fare, so you can take advantage of it!"

"Cheap? I've never liked taking advantage of it. How do you say in the old saying? Take advantage of a small advantage and suffer a big loss!" The long-tailed man walked over from the bow, took the necklace, and inspected it by burning soil. It was indeed real gold, and then threw it After throwing it, he immediately shook his head:

"Little boy, this is pure gold, but it weighs only 350 to 28 grams! Don't think I don't understand the market. The price of gold in the US futures market yesterday was 4 U.S. dollars per ounce, 1 grams per ounce, and the exchange rate of RMB to U.S. dollar is 1500 to [-], your necklace is only worth about [-] RMB, not enough money!" He has strong mental arithmetic ability.

not enough?Li Ling's gold in the real world is worth more than 300 US dollars per ounce. Even though it is 83 years now, the appreciation rate of gold is not too much, okay?

Li Ling didn't argue. Given his situation, it was useless to argue.

He rummaged through his bag again, and found a gold ring, which may also be the wealthiest property of one of the floating corpses, and handed it to the long-tailed man, "I'll give you this gold ring too, together with the necklace, you will take advantage of it [-]%!"

Li Ling is determined to take a ride with the wind. Li Ling has specially studied this period. Whether he swims alone to the mainland or to the Xiangjiang River, there are great hidden dangers. Pay attention to these, since the long-tailed man bought Guan, he must take advantage of this relationship.

The long-tailed man shook the ring, he recognized the value of the ring, or the gold necklace may have exceeded the boat fare, he waved his hand, "If you have money and status, get on board!"
