Chapter 465
The two of them held hands tightly, as if they had been together for a long time.
All the way back to the hotel, up the stairs, into the room, until they sat down, the two did not speak.
First quietly hugged for half an hour, the two only to find the voice.
Zhu Yuyan was eager to know what happened after she left, how Su Chunjun came out, and how he got here.
Su Chunjun was also eager to know if anything had happened to her along the way.
But he couldn’t be too clear about what happened to him, so he just summarized it as, “I was very lucky,and went right behind you, because I didn’t know where you went, so I just drifted around on the sea until I ran out of money and then I came here.”
Zhu Yuyan also felt that there is nothing to say: “I am also quite smooth, until here did not meet any difficulties. It’s just that I can’t find a way to leave at the moment, and there’s no suitable place to go.”
As for the fact that she had fired two shots, there was no need to mention it.
Both of them are the character of reporting the good news but not the bad news, also do not believe that the other’s words “everything is going well” is really very smooth, but also do not want to ask what, can see here is already very lucky, other need not look into it.
Su Chunjun said he arrived yesterday.
Zhu Yuyan said she has been living here for almost a month, basically figuring out where all the boats from this side of the pier come from, and will arrive every few days.
“The boats are more regular, and it’s not good to inquire about the airplanes.” She said, “Can’t pry either.”
“There are several trading companies here. There are minerals, food, medicine, and so on.” She said.
She’d basically inquired about all the companies on the island, and the ones that could run them here and now had the ability to cross mountains and seas, meaning they could all go by ship or plane.
“But these relationships are very secretive, not easy to inquire about and hard to get through.” That was the reason she had to stop here.
Before, she had been worried about how to get through to the connections, but now she felt fortunate that if she hadn’t stopped here, she might have missed out with Mr. Su!
How horrible that would have been!
The thought that they might have missed it sent chills down her spine!
In this day and age, these kinds of misses were happening every minute of every day.
In the case of others, one could say it was a trick of fate.
But in her own case, it was the most terrible fate.
Obviously there is a possibility to meet, but just miss it. And this kind of missing may also lead to a lifetime of missing, can’t see again.
This is too horrible.
Now that she was speaking slowly, her hands turned cold, and there was some hidden shivering.
Su Chunjun quickly realized that she was pretending to be calm.
He re-holds her tightly in his arms, gently touching her hair and shoulders, “Yan Yan, I’m here, teacher is here.”
Zhu Yuyan buried her head in his arms and cried out silently.
After crying bitterly, she was in a much better mood and much more relaxed, she was just weak.
She laid down on the bed, closed her eyes, and slept peacefully.
This sleep went into the night, it was dark, but the streets were still noisy, and there were more drunks than in the daytime, and there were drunks calling from under the windows, “Woman, come down, taste my ***!”
“Woman! Come on down! Let my c**k give you a taste!”
That’s the problem with living in a place like this.
Zhu Yuyan had always closed the windows tightly and pretended to be deaf.
No one will really break into the hotel, the hotel owner has a gun, he will not let people from his hotel guests robbed away, really so he this hotel also do not have to open.
The most important thing is that Zhu Yuyan has a gun in her hand. From the time she shot at that crook, her safety in this hotel skyrocketed.
Although the gun issue in America is a global joke now, in the early days it was really necessary for immigrants to have guns in their hands. Especially in a lawless place like this.
Su Chunjun’s face was calm when she heard the voices outside.
She started to hold his hand tightly, afraid that he would be impulsive, but then realized that he was calm and was relieved.
She said, “They don’t dare to come up.”
He said, “Uh-huh.”
She said, “If they come up, I have fifty rounds of ammunition.”
She only had ten rounds with her at the time, and then she used two, and bought the rest from the innkeeper.
Su Chunjun: “I have a gun too.”
He pulled it out of his pocket.
Both men were armed.
Looking at each other, they smiled.
Having a weapon and not indulging in it was certainly not cowardice, but to better solve the problem with a single blow.
She sat up and said, “By the way, you said you were broke, right?”
She began to undress.
She had gone to great lengths to hide her money and jewelry.
She had brought a suitcase with her when she arrived, when the jewelry and money were hidden in a compartment.
The suitcase was also designed to hide the jewelry, the compartment was full of rows and rows of hidden clasps, designed to hang the jewelry, which was all secured in the compartment so it wouldn’t flap off. Jewelry heavy, have a sense of weight, leather box is inside and outside the whole leather plus pure copper nails, in order to disguise the weight of the jewelry.
Once she was here and safe, she could no longer carry the suitcase back and forth every day, which would make people even more suspicious that there was something wrong with it.
So she hid all the jewelry and money in her clothes and handbag.
For this reason, she chose clothes that would hide the most stuff.
The vest she took off had inside pockets. She all but carefully sewed up the inner pockets.
Su Chunjun reached out and touched it, and there were jewels in the inner pocket.
She said, “I pinned them in with needle and thread, they won’t move.”
In addition to the horse jacket, the pockets of the pants are also lined with another layer of small pockets, also used to hide jewelry.
There was also a silk belt with two strings of jeweled necklaces sewn into the inner circle with her needle and thread.
The purse was her favorite, and she had brought it with her because she thought it could hide things.
She removed the lining of the purse and hid several rings and large gemstone pendants inside.
The leather case was spread out bright and early on the table every day, and a board was pulled out to make a small tabletop with a place for ink and pens, and she actually bought ink bottles and pens to put on it and pretended to just use it to write letters.
And inside the suitcase was money.
Zhu Yuyan: “Here are the francs. The US dollars are almost spent, the pounds are still hidden with over two thousand, I don’t know if it’s enough to buy two tickets to the US.”
Su Chunjun shook his head, “We’re not going to America, we’re going to England, England is better.”
Zhu Yuyan then took out the pounds hidden in her boots and gave them to him, which had been stepped on under her feet.
Su Chunjun took the money and said, “Let’s go together. First, we’ll go change your clothes and order a couple of suitcases.”
He also asked if she had a suitable ring to unwrap one out first.
Zhu Yuyan then unwrapped a ruby ring from her purse.
Su Chunjun took it out and compared it to the one on her hand, it was slightly too big, he tried it again with his own finger, and his index finger was just right.
He put it on and said, “In this way, let’s go out and say that I have proposed to you and am ready to take you home to get married.”
Zhu Yuyan: “So we’re sort of meeting for the first time?”
Su Chunjun smiled and said, “Yes, we are in love at first sight today.”
A romantic love story came out like this!
A man and a woman fell in love here! They fell in love at first sight!
Su Chunjun moved to the stagecoach station with Zhu Yuyan. The ring proved that he was a rich man and used it to propose to Zhu Yuyan.
She thought that the rooms at the stagecoach were only for people with identification, but in fact she was wrong, as long as you have money, you can book a room at the stagecoach.
Su Chunjun immediately went out and bought four large suitcases, and ordered many dresses for Zhu Yuyan in a big way, and took her shopping, buying out the luxury in this barren place.
Then the ring mysteriously disappeared.
The people at the stagecoach then said that he must have sold the ring to get the money.
Two days later, the ring reappeared, only with the largest ruby missing.
The postman then said that he must have sold the gemstone to get the money.
Zhu Yuyan became a lucky girl and sat in the stagecoach eating fried bacon and chicken stew – there was actually chicken and bacon here.
There was also wine.
She also had six pairs of new shoes, which Su Chunjun demanded the leatherworker had to hurry up and make – “we can’t miss our ship.”
The suitcases were readily available, and after splashing out a lot of money on them, Sujunun haggled over the price – “30% off! No one even buys a suitcase this big!”
Anyway, at least he proved his financial strength.
Then he started inquiring about a boat or plane to England.
Paying only when he lands, of course.
So everyone believed he had no money in his hand now, but maybe he would have it when he got to England?
After spending the whole two hundred pounds, Su Chunjun packaged Zhu Yuyan as a rich young lady, and he was of course a rich gentleman.
The language of the two people sounded no problem, at this time not many people noticed the two people’s skin color and looks, this was originally the most Zhu Yu Yan worried about the problem, but after first-hand experience she found – in fact, this is not a problem.
It was true that yellow people were not allowed to enter the country – but not rich people.
Britain and the United States have a pair of rich people’s eyes when it comes to expelling yellow people. Poor people who wanted to sneak in couldn’t, but if they were rich, it wasn’t non-negotiable.
Soon someone came to the door, willing to help Su Chunjun and Zhu Yuyan solve the problem of going to England.
And he was very considerate, suggesting that if they had any identity problems, he could solve them as well.
Su Chunjun smiled and said, “Of course there is no problem with our identity. My wife and I are both upper class people.”
Zhu Yuyan took a look at Mr. Su’s expression and always felt that his expression was saying, “Yes, we have an identity problem, and we are waiting for you to discover it.
This one who came to the door automatically was a human trafficker who was used to bringing people across the border, he wasn’t an ordinary person, he was an authentic British officer.
But he wasn’t British, he was Belgian. He was forced to enlist during the great British conscription; he came from Belgium to England to study, and enlisted before he had graduated from college, and then followed the army eastward.
But this gentleman had little loyalty to England, and the most he did was to start smuggling when he arrived in a place, not only goods, but also people, but whenever anyone wanted to be smuggled to England, he was happy to take some money and then help people to go to England.
And he was very honest, he told Su Chunjun his name and number, and clearly marked the price.
This made it seem that Mr. Su was not very honest.
However, the British soldier found him more trustworthy because of this, and not only offered a high price, but also immediately arranged for them to go on the road.
Mr. Su immediately agreed to the British soldier’s high-priced tickets, followed by Zhu Yuyan and luggage on board the ship, the two openly with a few supposedly family members of the crew, but at a glance is also a stowaway men and women to stay together in the cabin, all the way to Liverpool smoothly.
Before disembarking, the British soldier came over and asked them for proof of identity, because they were about to arrive at the shore and it was time for them to disembark.
Mr. Su then confessed, “I’m sorry, brother, I lied to you, we don’t have identification.”
The British soldier immediately showed a treacherous smile of “I knew it all along”, and then said that although you lied to me, but I am a good man, I will still put you off the boat, but then you will need to pay more money.
Teacher Su cried bitterly and pleaded to no avail, and eventually had to pull out all the money in his pocket, as well as the ring on his hand that had lost its gemstone.
Su Chunjun cried, “Leave it to me, it only has a few very small stones left on it, it’s not worth much.”
But in addition to the main stone, there were four tiny diamonds set on it.
The British GI thought that would be worth quite a bit of money, and stiffly took it away from Su Chunjun.
Then he drove them down.
Until they got off the ship, Zhu Yuyan felt that this was all too metaphysical.
Although she understood that this British soldier would bring them out so quickly in order to cheat money from them, because everyone thought that the money in Su Chunjun’s hand was obtained by selling the precious stones on the ring, and he seemed to be particularly able to spend money, and he was in the middle of “love”, his mind was not sober, in order to prevent him from spending all the money in his hand, the British soldier would be so eager to take the initiative to do so, and then he took the money out of his hand. In order to prevent him from spending all the money in his hand, the British soldier came to find them in such a hurry and took them away immediately – because if they were slow to take a step forward, with Su Chunjun’s speed of spending money, they would probably spend even more in a short time. For the British GI, this meant that the money he could earn became less.
The British GI was pretty confident that he would be able to take all the money out of them at the end of the day.
And with over eighteen hundred pounds left over after selling the gems and splurging, that amount of money seemed good enough for him to be content.
But really, eighteen hundred pounds or so was a fair price, but a fair price didn’t mean they’d be able to buy a ticket for the ship any time soon.
For Su Chunjun and Zhu Yuyan, who were anxious to leave Hawaii and come to England, the price of eighteen hundred pounds could be considered a bargain.
Mr. Su just put on a show and took advantage of that British GI’s psychology.
–Didn’t he do this often when he was an official? He was too skillful.
