The Rebirth of Shazhu: Starting from Staying Away from Beasts

So he sat down leisurely and started chatting with Li Huaide.

"Brother Li, when I come back from Hong Kong this time, I can bring some things back from there.

If you have anything you like, just tell me and I will bring it back to you."

Li Huaide thought for a moment before slowly saying:

“Actually, there’s nothing in particular that I want to get.

I heard that prices in Hong Kong are very high right now. Besides, the journey is so far.

It's not easy to bring some things back to the city, it's enough that you have this thought."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly to show his understanding.

But inwardly he muttered:

Expensive? What a joke!

This time, I am going there to reap the wool of those capitalists.

No matter how high the price goes, it has nothing to do with me.

In this way, the two chatted aimlessly for a long time.

Then, He Yuzhu stood up, bowed and said goodbye to Li Huaide, and walked out of the office.

The night passed quietly, everything was silent, but He Yuzhu's heart was as restless as the vast ocean.

He was so filled with endless anticipation and excitement about the upcoming journey to Hong Kong that he tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window onto the bed, waking up He Yuzhu.

However, the excitement of the previous night was still lingering in his mind, and he couldn't completely relax.

However, it was still early, so he got up slowly and completed a series of daily activities such as washing.

Had a simple breakfast at home.

Then he tied the small baggage to the back seat of the bicycle.

Pushing his bicycle, He Yuzhu stepped out of the gate of the courtyard.

Along the way, he rode in a leisurely manner, as if time was no longer important to him.

Finally, he arrived at the train station, which was crowded and bustling.

Although population mobility was relatively low at this time, the number of people traveling by train was still large.

Due to the limited train service, people have to squeeze into the cramped carriages.

Fortunately, the steel rolling mill where He Yuzhu worked bought a sleeper ticket for him.

It allows him to avoid the hustle and bustle of the crowd and enjoy a quieter space.

After all, sleeper tickets are expensive and not easily affordable for ordinary people, so most people will choose more economical seat tickets.

Just then, a loud train whistle pierced the sky.

What followed was the clang-clang sound of the wheels hitting the rails.

The train was like a giant dragon, slowly driving out of the platform and carrying the passengers into the distance.

He Yuzhu sat quietly on the bunk and gently made a cup of fragrant hot tea.

While savoring the fragrance of tea, he gazed at the ever-changing scenery outside the car window, looking extremely comfortable and relaxed...

time flies.

Accompanied by the sound of a train whistle, the train slowly drove towards its destination, Yangcheng Railway Station, like a giant steel dragon.

The platform was crowded with people and noisy.

He Yuzhu sat by the window, watching the scenery receding outside the window, his heart filled with anticipation and anxiety for an unknown journey.

When the train finally stopped steadily, he stood up and stretched his body which had become stiff from sitting for so long.

Then he picked up the empty suitcase bag and followed the bustling crowd out of the train station.

He Yuzhu didn't know much about this strange city - Guangzhou.

He stood blankly on the street, looking around, trying to find some useful clues or signs.

Just then, a shabby but still neat bicycle came into his sight, with a young man sitting on it.

He Yuzhu suddenly had an idea and quickly stepped forward to stop the young man who was about to leave.

"Hello! Sorry to bother you, do you know how to get to the pier in Xiangjiang?"

He Yuzhu asked politely.

The young man stopped the car and looked at the stranger in confusion.

He replied in broken Mandarin:

"Well... it's a bit far to get to the pier on the Xiangjiang River, and the way is not easy to find."

He frowned, as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu immediately took out a few loose bills from his pocket.

He pretended to be distressed and carefully pulled out two one-yuan bills.

He handed it to the young man and then asked, "Young man, could you please take me there?"

Of course I won't let you work in vain. If you can take me to the dock, I'll give you these two dollars as a token of my appreciation. Is that okay with you?"

The young man stared at the two dollars and his eyes suddenly lit up.

After all, two dollars was not a small sum of money in that era.

Without any hesitation, he nodded readily and said:

"Okay! No problem, come on up!"

He Yuzhu knew there was no need to waste time and just sat down in the back seat of the car.

After He Yuzhui sat firmly, he pedaled hard and drove towards the pier with He Yuzhui.

Along the way, the young man rode very hard, as if his whole body was full of strength.

The wheels were spinning so fast that he wanted to step on the pedals to create sparks.

The sun shone on them and the young man was sweating profusely.

In this way, after a long and arduous journey, He Yuzhu finally arrived at the dock.

At this moment, he was filled with emotion, after all, this journey was not easy.

You know, in this era, there are very few people who can go to Hong Kong openly.

Most people do it to realize their dreams or pursue a better life.

They had no choice but to take the risk of sneaking across the difficult and dangerous path.

However, He Yuzhu went to Hong Kong to work seriously and had a letter of introduction which explained the purpose of his trip to Hong Kong.

He carefully took out the letter of introduction from his pocket and handed it to the staff in charge of checking.

At the same time, he paid the boat fare without hesitation.

Everything seemed to be going so smoothly.

Soon, He Yuzhu was led into the cabin.

This so-called "ship" is actually just a slightly larger fishing boat.

The overall structure is still mainly made of wood.

As I walked into the cabin, a pungent smell hit me in the face.

Due to the small space and poor ventilation, various mixed smells intertwined together, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The strong smell was simply unbearable.

He Yuzhu turned around and resolutely walked out of the cabin and came to the open deck.

Standing on the deck, the sea breeze gently blows on your face, bringing a touch of coolness and freshness.

He Yuzhu took a deep breath, feeling the breath of the sea, and his mood gradually calmed down.
