The train ticket was really hand-painted by Xiao Lang, and the painting skills are so good that it looks real.
"Old Xiao, you don't show off your skills."
The two praised.
Xiao Lang said: "Don't forget that I studied civil engineering at Tsinghua University and am good at drawing.
I wanted to draw some RMB and food stamps, but I didn't have suitable paper, so I used some old train tickets to make them."
Without further ado, the three of them put on new clothes and threw the old clothes into the river.
They were all experienced in dealing with chasing them.
They must not let the police dogs smell their scent and follow them.
In fact, this was too much to worry about.
Today’s criminal police teams basically no longer keep police dogs.
After putting on new clothes, Gong Zijun took out an envelope from his pocket and opened it to see a stack of RMB and national food stamps.
He couldn't help but burst into tears.
Xia Jingxi didn't betray her self, so there must be something wrong with something else.
The three of them arrived at the train station and boarded the train to Shanghai with the bustling crowd.
Although it was a standing ticket, the mood of running towards freedom was relaxed and happy.
There were many people on the train, and the police did not bother to check.
The journey passed without incident.
Arrive at Shanghai Railway Station.
Their plan was to take a ferry from Shanghai to Wuhan.
Fortunately, Xia Jingxi stuffed the money and food stamps in her clothes so that they could eat.
Xiao Lang bought some things in a stationery store and created a new letter of introduction.
I bought a boat ticket, boarded the boat at Shiliupu Pier, and headed to Wuhan.
It is much safer outside of Jiangdong Province.
China is so big.
Who would care about the fugitives from the three salt lake farms.
Going west along the Yangtze River, the apes on both sides of the river can't stop crying.
The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.
After three days and three nights of journey, Arrive at Wuhan Port.
Gong Zijun's old illness relapsed, he coughed violently, and his legs and feet were weak, but the situation did not allow him to seek medical treatment, so he could only hold on.
In order to save money, he could not stay in a hotel.
Liu Youjin sat with him on a bench in Zhongshan Park, and Xiao Lang went to the train station to buy some food.
I got three hard seats to Guangzhou.
After the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was opened to traffic, the thousand-year-old natural chasm became accessible.
There is no need to go to Wuchang Xujiapeng to buy tickets.
You can start directly from Hankou Station, which is more convenient.
The construction of the Guangdong-Hankong Railway began during the Guangxu period and was not opened until the 25th year of the Republic of China.
The long dark green dragon runs southward on the fertile fields.
The trains are full of passengers from all over the world.
They are rushing to build socialism on the land of the motherland.
The trains run from time to time.
During the broadcast, some People's Liberation Army soldiers on the train took the initiative to help the conductor clean up and pour hot water for the passengers.
As the train went south, the temperature gradually increased, and the summer mood was high.
The passengers sang revolutionary songs under the organization of the conductor.
The emotions of Xiao Lang and others were also aroused.
They were not good at singing originally, but they often sang during the labor camp at Salt Lake Farm, and they became good at it.

The pleasant journey seemed particularly fast, and the forty-four-hour drive ended quickly. , the train arrives at the terminal, Guangzhou Railway Station.
After escaping thousands of miles from the Salt Lake Farm, the three of them felt so safe that they actually had the time to visit the Pearl River.
People swimming and exercising on the beautiful Pearl River were like crucian carp crossing the river.
At this time, Xiao Lang and others thought that the people of Guangzhou loved sports.
Soon after Only then did they realize that they were preparing to sneak into Hong Kong.
The final destination of the three is Hong Kong, and they have to continue south, first to Shenzhen, which is across the water from Hong Kong, and then try to cross the border.
Tickets from Guangzhou to Shenzhen are difficult to obtain, and letters of introduction from ordinary work units are not easy to send.
In order to avoid trouble. , the three of them chose other ways to go to Shenzhen.
Fortunately, the director of Salt Lake Farm is a Cantonese.
Xiao Lang spent more time communicating with him and learned a lot of Cantonese, so communication was no problem.
Otherwise, it would be like arriving in a foreign country, and his eyes would be black. , can’t even understand what others are saying.
After traveling through bumpy roads such as buses, tractors, and bullock carts, we finally arrived in Bao'an County.
When we got off the bus, we met a family celebrating a wedding.
Firecrackers were going off, and cigarettes and candies were scattered everywhere.
Xiao Lang went over to pick them up.
I bought a few cigarettes and asked how to get to Shenzhen.
Later, I said with a happy face: "It turns out that this family is not getting married, but his son has successfully smuggled into China."
Gong Zijun and Liu Youjin were dumbfounded.
How could they dare to publicize their success in smuggling?
They would risk their lives.
However, if you think about it, you can understand that Guangdong has not experienced a large-scale agrarian revolution, and it is not as tight on the class struggle as the people in the Central Plains of the north.
Moreover, Guangdong is the first place to have contact with foreigners, and it is very open-minded.
It seems that Guangdong is really the right place.
The three of them were whispering when a bearded man suddenly came over and asked them in broken Mandarin: "Do you want to sneak into Hong Kong?"
Xiao Lang was startled and quickly denied it.
He said with a beard, "Don't worry, I'm not a police officer.
If you want to sneak across the border, come to me and I'll cover it.
It's fifty yuan per person.
Let's get some water."
Gong Zijun said: "We are here on a business trip.
If we don't go to Hong Kong, we really won't go."
The bearded man smiled mysteriously and walked away.
Suddenly he remembered something and turned around and said: "There are border guards in Shenzhen.
You can't get through.
If you wander around, you will be beaten to death."
Xiao Lang shouted: "Comrade, we believe in you."
The bearded man said: "Then come with me."
The three of them were dubious and followed him around a few turns until they came to a secluded place.
A long-nosed bus was full of people.
Judging by their clothing and appearance, there were not only locals from Guangdong, but also people from the north.
One Either their eyes flickered or they lowered their heads in deep thought.
They were probably stowaways.
The bearded man sent the three of them into the car, walked to the front and chatted with the driver for a few words, smoked a cigarette, took out the crank and started the car, drove south, and walked slowly for an hour, arriving at the destination in the evening.
On the ground, kicked people out of the car and started collecting money.
"Fifty each, pay in advance."

Bearded said.
The stowaways from all over the world began to bargain.
Some said they would pay when they arrived, some said they would pay half in advance, and some asked for a lower price.
Forget it, thirty per person.
Their accents were from Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi. , Guangxi, of course Guangdong has the most local ones.
The bearded man is uncompromising, and he will be fifty if he says he is fifty, and nothing less will do.
After arguing for a while, everyone gave in and paid the money obediently.
After collecting the money, the bearded man lit a lantern and hung it on the eaves.
He took a branch and drew a picture on the ground: "There are two ways to go to Hong Kong, the governor and the net.
They take the west route and the middle route.
Some people also take the east route.
But it’s too dangerous, so we won’t do it.”
"The governor is the western waterway, launching at Shekou, crossing Shenzhen Bay, and reaching Hong Kong; the net is the middle land route, starting from Sha Tau Kok and climbing over the border wire fence to the New Territories."
"The western front is safe, but it requires good physical strength.
The middle line may be beaten to death by the border guards, but it saves physical strength and is suitable for the weak, elderly and children.
You can choose which way to go.
I will give you half an hour."
Time was limited and there was no room for too much thinking.
Gong Zijun was in poor health and took the risk of taking the overland route.
Xiao Lang and Liu Youjin had been renovating the Salt Lake Farm for ten years, and their physique was much stronger than when they were sitting in the office.
Although they were nearly sixty years old, Although he is old, he also chose the more reliable waterway.
Half an hour later, the smuggling team set off in two groups, one to Sha Tau Kok and the other to Shekou.
The three fugitives said goodbye in tears and agreed to meet again in Hong Kong.
Unexpectedly, this farewell would become an eternal farewell.
It was dark, which was good enough to hide our whereabouts.
The locals were familiar with the roads and could avoid the border guard checkpoints.
The fifty yuan was well spent.
The moon was dark and the wind was high.
After a long journey, Xiao Lang and Liu Youjin arrived at the beach.
Seeing that they were older, the person leading the team specially gave them two pairs of life-saving equipment.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be blown up condoms and ping pong equipment.
Made of balls, it makes people laugh and cry.
"If you don't have a lifebuoy, a car inner tube will do."
Liu Youjin said.
The bearded man said: "Those are strictly controlled supplies and cannot be obtained.
It is already very difficult to obtain them.
If you don't want them, others will."
"I want it, I want it."
Liu Youjin quickly changed his words.
The stowaways were lying in the bushes.
Fifteen minutes later, a patrol of border guards walked past with flashlights on.
After another five minutes, the leader of the group asked everyone to go into the sea.
"Swim, swim forward for an hour, you will find Hong Kong and freedom," said the bearded man.
Everyone went into the sea without hesitation and swam forward.
There were all kinds of simple life-saving tools.

Some were holding basketballs, some were holding wooden boards, and some were blowing up their pants as lifebuoys.
Most people's swimming skills were pretty good. , it seems that preparations have been made for smuggling.
Xiao Lang and Liu Youjin both know how to swim.
When they were young, they often swam in the Huaijiang River.
However, it was a carefree way to play in the water, but now they are struggling.
After swimming for fifteen minutes, Liu Youjin's physical strength is not very good.
He gasped and said: "Old Xiao, leave me alone, you go first, I will slow down."
Xiao Lang said: "Pay attention to your breathing rhythm, don't be anxious."
Under the moonlight, on the sparkling sea, the stowaways have gradually distanced themselves.
Those with good swimming skills are leading the way, while those with poor swimming skills are far behind.
There is no wind and three feet of waves on the sea, and some stowaways from the mainland cannot help but If you are too good at swimming and have no useful life-saving tools, it is common for you to accidentally get knocked down by a wave and never come back up again.
Everyone is struggling to move forward with their lives.
Suddenly, there was a sound of motor, and everyone was terrified and paddling desperately.
However, the fierce action even attracted two dazzling flashlights, followed by the sound of gunshots, the familiar rattling sound of the Type 56 submachine gun.
There was once a reform-through-labor prisoner at Salt Lake Farm who tried to escape and was beaten to death by a sentry with this weapon in the wilderness.
Xiao Lang and Liu Youjin both remembered it fresh.
What came was the border guard water patrol boat.
God knows why they changed the patrol time tonight, just in time to catch all the stowaways.
There were strict orders from superiors.
Smuggling was an act of treason and could be shot on the spot.
The soldiers either fired with submachine guns or shot with The rifles fired at the roll call, causing splashes on the water.
Blood dyed the sea red.
"Dive quickly!"
Xiao Lang shouted, but he was still a step too slow after all.
Liu Youjin was hit in the back by a bullet.
He used his last strength to take off the condoms and table tennis balls on his body and threw them to Xiao Lang, shouting A voice: "Leave and don't come back again."
Decades later, Xiao Lang still remembered Liu Youjin’s last shout and the desperate look in the sea of Shenzhen Bay
