Sure enough, I guessed right. The boatman said, "this is my father and I. usually, my father comes out to fish and sell things. Today is Sunday. It''s estimated that the children won''t go to class and will come out to help together."
While talking, the boatman connected our cruise ship with the boat with a rope buckle, and called out something in Korean and the man. They seemed familiar.
The man looks very simple and honest, and he smiles very simple.
Girls are a little shy, hiding behind his father timidly looking at us, with curious eyes.
After seeing me and boss Dai, her eyes fell on Jin Jingxiu and Qiu Tong, with an envious look on her face
Jin Jingxiu and Qiu Tong both smile at the girl. Qiu Tong takes out two big bags of food and delivers them there.
The girl looked up at the adult and did not move.
Qiutong said something in Korean with a smile. The man nodded gratefully and then said something to the girl. The girl nodded happily.
Then Qiutong took a step forward and put two big bags of food on each other''s boat.
The girl approached Qiutong and said something in Korean. She seemed to be thanking Qiutong.
The girl has a beautiful voice and looks very beautiful.
Qiutong reached out to touch the girl''s hair, then bowed her head to kiss her forehead, then separated, then turned around, I saw that Qiutong''s eyes were red.
Jin Jingxiu has been sitting in the cabin watching, her eyes have been following the girl around.
Looking at Jin Jingxiu staring at the girl''s eyes, I suddenly think of Jin Jingxiu more than 30 years ago. At that time, she was older than the girl, but she was also fishing on the Yalu River. This scene may remind her of herself, the Yalu River, and the things that happened along the river
At this time, the man and the boatman were saying something in Korean. The man opened the hatch, and I saw a lot of things inside. The man began to take out tiger bone wine, ginseng, grass eggs
The boatman said to us, "these are all their specialties. Do you want them? A bottle of tiger bone wine is 100 yuan, a box of ginseng is 300 yuan, a row of grass eggs is 5, 20 yuan It''s all in RMB. "
"The price is not cheap! Ask him, cheaper! " I said.
"It''s not the price he said. It''s all set by their collective farm. The money they sell is not expensive. He just earns work points and has to pay back a lot of money. Of course, if they sell more, they will have more work points! " Said the boatman.
"What''s the use of RMB?" I said.
"Border areas are convertible, so you don''t have to worry about that!" Said the old boatman with a laugh.
The father and daughter looked at us eagerly.
I couldn''t help but feel compassion and said, "otherwise, we''ll buy one of every kind and support the Korean villagers!"
At this time, Jin Jingxiu suddenly spoke in Chinese and said to the boatman, "you tell them, I''ve bought all the things in the cabin, and I''ll take them."
"Ah --" the boatman was surprised and looked at Jin Jingxiu: "elder sister, are you kidding
Qiutong and I could not help but be surprised. We looked at each other and did not make a sound.
"I''ll only say it once!" Jin Jingxiu said.
The boatman''s mouth was half open. He looked at Jin Jingxiu, and then he said to the man.
Of course, Kim can understand Korean, but she pretends not to speak it.
Hearing this, the man was very excited and excited. Then he moved things out, moved them to our ship, and began to count them.
In this process, the girl has been looking at Qiu Tong and Jin Jingxiu, and Jin Jingxiu has been looking at the girl, with some loss and loss in her eyes.
All the things were packed in boxes.
Six cases.
"Elder sister, I''ll calculate for you. These things are 5680 yuan in total!" The boatman said, "do you want to check it again?"
"No more." Jin Jingxiu said, open the bag, directly take out two stacks of RMB, a look is out of the bank has not moved, 20000.
I don''t know when Jin Jingxiu got these RMB.
Then Jin Jingxiu handed the points to the boatman: "give them all, don''t change The rest of the money is for them. Tell him not to hand it over to the public when he goes back! "
"Ah --" the boatman was stunned again. He lent the money to the man and muttered a few words. The man was stunned and looked at us dumbfounded.
It''s good to have a bicycle at home. A motorcycle is the upstart North Korea. It costs more than 10000 yuan, which is undoubtedly a huge sum for them.
The man had enough reason to be stunned.
Looking at the man''s look, looking at the timid and beautiful girl around the man, Jin Jingxiu''s eyes suddenly turned red and lowered her head: "let''s go."
I took a look at Qiutong. Her eyes were red.
I can''t help feeling sour.Our boat left, walked a distance, I also saw the man standing in the bow, the girl is still looking at our direction
Continue to swim down to a place with mountains on both sides. There is a group of Korean women squatting by the river to wash clothes.
On such a cold day, the Yalu River is so cold that they are washing clothes by the river. I feel a little incredible.
Jin Jingxiu said to the boatman, "pull over!"
The old general of the boat approached slowly and stopped less than 1 meter away from the shore. I looked around and didn''t see any soldiers of the people''s army standing guard.
Kim looked at the North Korean women who were washing their clothes. They were looking at her, too.
Jin Jingxiu''s eyes are red again. I don''t know what she thinks of. She sighs and says to the boatman, "give them all the things you just bought."
"Ah --" the boatman screamed strangely and was stunned again.
"Let me help you!" I said to the boatman.
The boatman looked back and said something to the bank. The women came happily.
I straightened my body as close as possible to the shore and handed all the things that Jin Jingxiu had just bought to the women.
They said something excitedly. Although they didn''t understand, I knew they were thanking.
At this time, I saw Jin Jingxiu bow his head and wipe his eyes with a paper towel
Qiutong turns around and looks up at the sky
Then, the cruise ship turned around and walked back. When it came to the other side of shark fin Island, I saw a small dock on the shore. It was made of simple wood. On it stood several women in down suits and two soldiers with guns on their backs.
I told the boatman to drive close to the dock.
"These women are the families of the general!" Said the boatman.
It seems that the family members of these generals don''t wear high-end clothes, which are similar to those worn by ordinary women here. However, in North Korea, this is also high-end, and ordinary people can''t reach this level.
As the boat approached, I looked at the women and soldiers curiously.
The soldiers looked at us with alert eyes, while the women turned away from us.
"These women are people with status in North Korea. Their men are noble, and they are also noble. They are different from those people just now. They are not willing to be visited by our tourists as animals!" Said the boatman.
My heart move, some can''t bear to continue to see.
The cruise ship sped off.
When I went back, Jin Jingxiu, who had been silent for a long time, said something that made me sound very heavy: "we are actually hurting their self-esteem by doing this today But... "
Obviously, Jin Jingxiu is also aware of something, but her heart is actually very contradictory. She wanted to help the poor people, but she knew she was hurting them.
At this time, a sentence appeared in my mind: when a person reaches the stage of fighting for survival, there is no self-respect to speak of!
This is what Lao Qin once told me. This is his experience gained from years of blood bathing in the golden triangle.
When I think of the Korean people''s Army soldiers who just asked for cigarettes, and the Korean father and daughter who were fishing, I can''t help sighing.
I also think of Lao Qin, those educated youth who are fighting for survival in the golden triangle and their descendants, and Li Shun who fled to the golden triangle for survival
Some days there is no news from Li Shun. I don''t know what he is doing now or what his revolutionary army is doing recently.
At this time, here, will soon enter the winter season, and in the golden triangle, there is still hot and humid.
After wood''s surprise last time, the relationship between Li Shun and wood is in a relatively calm state.
Although they are safe and sound, I know that this is only temporary. Li Shun and wood have a clear idea of the Kong Kun incident, but they both know it by heart.
I know that there will be a battle between Li Shun and wood sooner or later. But it is hard to say who will take the lead and who will pierce this layer of paper first.
Wood seems to have been keeping silent recently, and so does Li Shun.
Temporary silence, perhaps in the accumulation of greater energy, waiting for the right time to burst out.
Both sides may be waiting for the best time to make a move, waiting for the most favorable time for themselves. For wood and Li Shun, this advantage seems to be not only tactical, but also strategic and moral.
After all, the relationship between them is very special, very imaginable and understandable. This is difficult to understand, especially for Li Shun.
Thinking of these, I feel uneasy again
After landing, we had a rest for a while, and we drove on to the next target, Shenxian Bay.
At this time, I received a text message from Du Jianguo: "we have arrived in Dandong and started to get off the highway."
Li Shun''s father has come to Dandong.
I know. He came for Jin Jingxiu.I drove on, maintaining a speed of about 40 miles.
Jin Jingxiu seems to be still immersed in the depressing atmosphere brought about by the Yalu River Cruise just now, sitting in the car has been silent.
Qiu Tong did not speak, and looked out of the window.
After walking for about half an hour, shenxianwan is here, and Yalu River hydropower station is right here.
"Aunt Jin, here comes Shenxian bay!" I said it as I drove.
"Oh..." Jin Jingxiu came back and looked outside the car.
"Ahead is the Yalu River hydropower station!" I pointed to the dam on the right.
"Well..." Jin Jingxiu nodded: "the scenery here is really good, the dam is spectacular!"
"Shall we stop here and have a look?" Qiu Tong said.
Jin Jingxiu frowned and seemed to be thinking about something. For a moment, he said, "go ahead, keep going along the riverside!"
My heart slightly a Zheng, did not speak, continue to drive forward.
After a look at the mirror, Qiu Tong is also looking at me.
After the hydropower station, the roads along the river began to narrow. There were steep mountains on both sides, and the river became a little narrow. Although it was narrow, the water shortage was very deep.
At this time, in front of a small village, the village is not big, some red tile bungalows scattered on the hillside and riverside.
"We Where to go. " Jin Jingxiu''s voice was a little excited.
I took a look at Jin Jingxiu in the rear view mirror and saw that she looked a little strange. My eyes were fixed on the small village in front of me.
