Chapter Thirty: Baoan Village and the County Magistrate
Chapter 30: Bao Bao Village and the County Magistrate
"I -" Ajuan was like a child who had done something wrong, kicking and saying: "I hit it."
"Can you die after being beaten twice? It's caused by being tied up for a long time and causing the blood vessels to be blocked, coupled with hunger and cold. Hey, this is really hurting me!" Chang Lin put his hand in front of Mr. Hong's nose and said in surprise:
"Not dead yet."
He untied the rope and dragged Mr. Hong into the yard. Ruan Mingxue came over with a water basin and suddenly poured water on his naked body. The man on the ground was shaking all over and his eyes slowly opened.
"Boss Hong, are you okay?" Chang Lin looked a little worried at the prisoner whose eyes were blank and his spirit was shrinking.
"Silly." Ajuan took a step back in fright. She was not afraid of Boss Hong's death, but I'm afraid no one could answer the secret Chang Lin wanted to know.
"Go, let Ma Dabao send someone to wash him and take him to the mouth of the canyon in a car." Chang Lin observed that Boss Hong didn't look like he was pretending, shook his head and asked Ruan Mingxue to do this quickly.
Tang Cuihua and Ajuan were left, and Chang Lin said to them: "The war is basically over, and the Chinese here must return to the country as soon as possible. What you have to do is to turn this place into a security camp and take the initiative to take it into your own hands."
"
"This matter is not difficult to handle. I'll go." Tang Cuihua hesitated and said to Chang Lin: "I'm going to go to the old street. Since the war is over, sooner or later the two countries will open the checkpoint for trade."
"You want to go to the old street to do business?" Chang Lin was surprised, thought for a while and said: "What a wonderful idea! You can build a garment factory, hotel, grain and oil store there. Remember, use money to open a road and buy a big
of land.”
"Hehe, I'm going with Ruan Mingxue, and we have the same idea." Tang Cuihua smiled. The banknotes must be spent, and the materials in the cave must be used rationally. Boss Hong's family property cannot be hidden in the cave.
Develop towards prosperous cities.
"Everything here will be done under Ajuan's name, and the future of the old street will be left to you and Ruan Mingxue." Chang Lin glanced at Ajuan and saw that she had no objection, and continued: "Once Taozi's injury is healed, we must
Send them away together!"
"You're not going to stay either?" Ajuan knew that Chang Lin was helpless, but she really wanted Chang Lin to stay here forever.
"You don't want me to live with the crime of treason against the party and the country for the rest of my life, right? Remember, it's a must to go home, I can't just stay like this." Chang Lin was in a dilemma. He couldn't let go of these girls, but he couldn't.
Forget that you are a soldier.
"I'll take you home." Ajuan's bright eyes flashed and she said unceremoniously: "If you dare to reject me, I will kill you!"
"Can you apply for a visa? If you don't have documents, you will be caught and escorted back." Chang Lin did not answer directly and let Ajia think for herself.
"Hehe, I don't have any documents and no one can catch me." Ajuan smiled slyly: "I'll tell you when you get home."
Ma Dabao brought people over. Gao Yishan looked at the naked Boss Hong and asked with a wide smile: "Which song is this from?"
Chang Lin told how Boss Hong entered the inner courtyard and was captured alive by him. He pointed at the people on the ground and said: "His "little brother" was knocked to pieces by Ajuan. Look, he looks stupid and seems to have dementia."
.”
"Hey, there is such a thing!" Gao Yishan couldn't help but laugh, and glanced at the blushing Ajuan: "You are really good at it, you are brave enough."
"Take him out, clean him up, put on his clothes, take him in a car to the mouth of the canyon and throw him somewhere. Remember, don't provoke the Vietnamese army on the road." Chang Lin clearly realized that the Vietnamese army was going all out towards the border.
, avoid its sharp edges and avoid friction with it.
"Yes, get out!" Ma Dabao shouted, and two soldiers took Mr. Hong's clothes and led him towards the front yard. Ruan Mingxue and Tang Cuihua were ready to go outside and set off with the two little girls.
"Taozi's injury is basically no big deal. When should we set off?" Gao Yishan didn't want to stay any longer. After the war, returning to the army was the most important task.
"The border blockade must be very strict. If you want to go back, you have to go through the mountains and forests. What's more important is that the Red River flows fast and is more than 200 meters wide. It is not easy to cross it. We must be well prepared. I will lead
Ajuan and the others will go see you off."
Chang Lin talked about the current situation and the next action plan. Gao Yishan asked in surprise: "Aren't you ready to return to China?"
"I have not received an order. It is not certain whether the war is really over. Once you leave, the advantages here will be lost. When you go back, report the situation to your superiors. I will wait for orders at the border."
The border war did not seem to have stopped. The people who went out to investigate came back and reported the situation. Gao Yishan nodded and said: "That's good. Ma Dabao and I will return home first, and you will have a precaution behind. But we can't go back quickly."
Once things are settled, how long can you wait at the border?"
"Ten days." Chang Lin said steadily: "If it exceeds ten days, we will run out of food."
"Okay, I will personally rush over within ten days and inform you of the commander's instructions." Gao Yishan pointed at the girls who came over and said, "They have all practiced well and are well-equipped to defend themselves, but they are not good enough for actual combat."
"It's impossible to become a master in a short time." Chang Lin understood these truths and said to the girls: "Go ahead and ask for as much advice as possible while Master Gao is still here."
"yes!"
Ruan Mingxue, Tang Cuihua and two girls drove into Sabah County. The staff here told her: "The household registration has been destroyed by the war. To apply for documents, you must apply for a new household registration."
"Excuse me, who are you?" Ruan Mingxue took out a good cigarette and threw it on the table. He sat down and said seriously: "This is the file of all the people in our village. You'd better register your household registration for me first."
"I am Cui Liejin, the head of Sabah County. Your village has not suffered from war?"
Ruan Mingxue sighed: "No one died in the war, but many drowned in the flood. County Magistrate, I will donate 10 million to our county to build a school. Can you help me buy a piece of land in the old street?"
"Land? You want to do business in Lao Cai?" Cui Liejin was surprised. The focus of the war was in the Liangshan area, but no one could say whether there would be fighting in Lao Cai.
"Yes, I want to open a tavern, a garment factory or something. The land needs to be larger, preferably in a prosperous place. Don't be afraid of high land prices. I will thank you very much if this is done!" Tang Cuihua put a box in his hand.
Kicked to Cui Liejin's feet, deliberately opened it to let him see, then covered it and sat upright.
Cui Liejin's eyes were filled with greed. This box of money was not as much as his two-year salary. Looking at the brightly dressed and elegant girl, he asked softly: "I can help you buy the land, but I can't transfer the money now. If
If you don’t have enough cash, it’s better to delay for a while.”
"Hehe, I'll buy it with cash!" Ruan Mingxue smiled charmingly, indicating that money was no problem.
"Okay, let me help you get your household registration first. Let's go to the old street tomorrow." Cui Liejin has a good impression of the two girls who are generous and generous. He must help them get this done. I heard that they have a little girl.
In governance, his mouth opened in surprise.
"Her name is Ajuan, and she led the people in the village to escape the war. We have more than a hundred people armed with guns picked up from the battlefield. Please pay more attention to this matter, and we will pay you.
." Ruan Mingxue looked towards the door and whispered to the money-grubbing county magistrate.
"It's not suitable for her to be the leader of Baoan Village," Cui Liejin hesitated. It was impossible for a girl of fifteen to take on such a position.
"County Magistrate, we are stationed in the deep mountains and old forests. No one will go there. She is the most suitable leader and will not cause you any trouble." Tang Cuihua explained, rubbing her fingers gently.
"Okay." Cui Liejin knew what Tang Cuihua's hand represented, nodded in agreement and began to take out the file to fill in. He had been busy for several hours before helping Ruan Mingxue get everything done. He handed the temporary identity certificate to the girl and stood up.
Lift the money box into the inner room.
Shaba County is more than 50 kilometers away from the Hekou Bridge, and there is only No. 7 leading to the old street. Shaba County is four or five kilometers away from Highway 7. There are jungle areas along the way, with many high mountains, dense forests, and dense caves, and dangerous roads everywhere.
The next day, Ruan Mingxue and the four of them took the county magistrate and set out for the old street in person. The car bumped along the bumpy road. It took more than an hour to reach the location after less than 20 kilometers, and found that most of the original buildings
Destroyed by the flames of war.
Tang Cuihua took out some good cigarettes and wine and handed them to Cui Liejin. He looked at the street and said, "Let's find a clean hotel to stay in. Just go and take care of it. If you need money, come to us."
"Okay, let's work separately. It won't be too difficult." Cui Liejin clearly realized that Lao Cai is the provincial capital, and the governor also hopes that wealthy people will invest here. He thinks these girls are too stupid.
If you do it yourself, you will save a lot of money.
Lao Cai City is the capital of Hoang Lien Son Province in Vietnam. A Red River more than 200 meters wide is the border between China and Vietnam. The only passable Hekou Bridge is guarded by soldiers at both ends, and many troops are constantly patrolling the river.
Both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
There are railways and Highway 7 leading to Hanoi, the Red River running from north to south, the Dananxi River running from east to west, Taishan along Highway 7 to the Hekou Bridge, about one kilometer of main streets, and obvious buildings.
Not much.
Spread along both sides of the Red River are the train station, bus station, government office building, public security station, garrison headquarters, post office, bank, and school. On the right are Ma'anshan Border Inspection Station, Ma'anshan and Houpi Mountain.
They are two parallel mountains, with the Red River on the right, the commercial district on both sides of Highway 7, and the Guliu Bridge connecting the north bank of the Red River.
"Across the river is Alin's motherland." Tang Cuihua looked out and said softly to Ruan Mingxue beside her.
"Shh." Ruan Mingxue put her finger up to her mouth to stop Tang Cuihua from continuing.
"It would be great if there was no war. We can go there and do business." Tang Cuihua was very disappointed with everything here. The dilapidated streets and buildings didn't look like a city at all.
"Let's build a beautiful street!" Ruan Mingxue looked at this place with great energy and shouted excitedly: "I will run the industry, and you will run the business."
"Hehe, spend his money and make him feel sad." The two girls were laughing and joking, walking towards a shabby yard with a hotel sign.
"Staying in a hotel?" A woman in her forties came over enthusiastically, pointed to the second floor and said, "It has the best room and electricity."
"I'm afraid there aren't many guests in the hotel, right?" Tang Cuihua looked around and said to the landlady: "Aren't you afraid of the other side firing?"
