Chapter 501(1/2)
At present, Wanjiang Group is also on the periphery of the typhoon circumference. It is the time when undercurrents are surging. Li Rui originally wanted to help Xiao Xiao and properly handle the internal affairs of the company.
But time waits for no one, his plan must be carried out immediately, so he has to leave the company temporarily for a while.
As for the issue of asking for leave from Xiao Xiao and explaining it, Li Rui was not worried. First, the successful solution of Jingyuan's foreign trade matter was a big deal. It would be difficult for Xiao Xiao to take a leave. Second, Xiao Xiao already knew his identity, so what he was going to do would naturally not stop him.
After saying hello, Li Rui waited for the quiet news with peace of mind.
A week later, An Jing called him and asked him to have an interview.
Without saying a word, Li Rui went straight to An Jing's house.
"Sister An Jing, is there any news?"
An Jing pointed to the map on the table and said, "I have marked you a few seats, you can choose it yourself."
Li Rui glanced at the map and found that there were many circles marked on it, and this map was obviously different from the Shanghai administrative division map on the market.
"This map seems to be different from the ones on the market."
An Jing explained: "This is bought from another place. You can't buy this kind of map on the Shanghai market. It clearly marks the various communities in the remote suburbs of Shanghai and nearby suburbs."
"I see."
"Look first, which one should I choose?"
Li Rui pointed to a block on the map, located at the northern end of the North-South Highway, near the intersection of the highway and the Rift Valley, and said, "I'll choose this!"
An Jing frowned and said, "This is Yangxunqiao Community, the largest suburb community in the northern area. Lin Kun, do you really want to go there? The environment there is very bad."
Li Rui smiled and said, "Just choose here."
"Okay." An Jing said helplessly: "However, it is difficult to start a factory now. The suburban community is complicated and there are many Shangguan Liang's eyeliners. If you go rashly, it is very risky."
"What advice do you have?"
"It's best to go there first and do it step by step."
"Well, it is necessary to spy on military information," Li Rui nodded and said, "I am also considering this matter these days. I plan to take a month off first and go to the suburbs to see it myself."
"One month? For so long, you might want to live there, right?" An Jing said in surprise.
Li Rui nodded and said, "That's right, I just want to live there."
"You just said that the suburban community is very complicated, so I have to go and have a look in person. I plan to pretend to be a fleeing person in the city, find a tribe to settle down, learn about the local customs and culture, and then make a long-term plan."
Jingjing thought, "It's not impossible for people who pretend to be fleeing. Over the years, I have violated the law. In order to avoid legal trials or other reasons, there are many people who fled to the suburbs in Shanghai. However, I'm worried..."
"Sister An Jing, are you worried that I can't bear the hardship?"
An Jing frowned and said, "You don't know that the suburbs are really bad, especially the tribes, which are much more difficult than ordinary rural areas. I am really worried about you!"
Li Rui smiled and said, "Sister An Jing, you will be the best person if you endure hardships. If I can't stand this kind of suffering, then what else can I talk about saving the people of the world?"
Knowing that An Jing couldn't persuade him, she had to agree with his thoughts.
The next day, An Jing prepared a set of old clothes for Li Rui. If he walked on the streets in Shanghai, it would be similar to a beggar, but this was the most common clothing for the people in the suburbs.
In order to act in full, Li Rui made himself look dirty. Then, he drove the car and drove along the north-south highway to Yangxunqiao Community at the north end.
If the city people want to go to the suburbs, it will be unobstructed.
Even if it is a fugitive, there are only pursuers and no obstacles. Those suburban managers welcome the established fugitives because for them, this is increasing the labor force.
The scenery along the way reflects Li Rui's eyes.
In order to show the international city image of Shanghai, the ruler specially set up a buffer zone with a depth of ten kilometers. After passing the buffer zone and entering the suburbs, the ruler stipulated that communities along the highway must be more than two kilometers away from the highway and planted trees on both sides of the highway to block the view.
Therefore, there is no population along the way except for the highway service area.
Those who come out of the city, go to other places, or passers-by will not choose to stay here too much.
In addition to those explorers, under the trend of curiosity, they want to uncover its mysterious veil.
Of course, this is not allowed. Once outsiders enter, it is easy to come in, but it is not that easy to go out.
When he came, Li Rui was also planning how to go out after a month?
When he arrived near the destination, Li Rui threw his car on the side of the road and walked alone.
After crossing a barbed wire, I finally arrived at Yangxunqiao Community.
However, now he is still in the periphery of the community, a tribal area dominated by agricultural production.
There are low walls rammed from the tribe between them. It can be seen that this is managed in grids.
A wooden board was inserted on the low wall, and on one side it reads: Yangnong Tribe No. 2; on the other side it reads: Yanglin Tribe No. 3.
Li Rui didn't think much about it, so he chose a casual side and entered Tribe No. 2.
Although it is called a tribe, it looks very similar to the rural areas outside. There are mountains, rivers, fields, merchants, and farmers.
However, this place is not exactly consistent with the countryside.
The farmers here are still called residents. Most of the production income is paid to the public. Among them, the big part is collected by the city for free, while the small part is collected by the community. Only a small part belongs to them.
Li Rui was hesitating about how to get into the tribe, but coincidentally, a little girl came towards him.
The girl in front of her was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a plump and round face, her skin was better than snow, and her cheeks were flushed. She was wearing a coarse cloth dress, with a bamboo basket tied around her waist, and a hatchet in the bamboo basket, which tied her slender waist to a slim grip.
Li Rui had a sudden inspiration and sat down on the ground, burying his head and sighing.
The little girl passed by him, looked at him vigilantly, and then accelerated her pace and walked away.
Li Rui thought she had left, but she didn't expect that after a while, she turned back and asked, "You, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Oh, my name is Lin Kun. I'm here to escape. I'm tired of running, so I'll take a break!"
"Escape?" the little girl thought for a moment and said, "So, are you from the city?"
Li Rui nodded and said, "Yes, but that's already a thing of the past."
The girl smiled and said, "We often have people who escape here. Some of them never go back, but some go back later. Don't be discouraged. As long as you have confidence, you will always turn your back."
Li Rui looked up and saw a pair of deer eyes flowing in agile manner. Her curved eyebrows were very contrasting with her little face. She just smiled faintly, but she was better than the breeze in midsummer and the bright moon in the evening.
"Is it true?"
"Of course it's true, I never lie."
"Little sister, what's your name?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be a little alert to strangers. However, when she saw that Li Rui was not a vicious person, she said, "My name is Lu Yufei, and she is the daughter of the old Lu family."
"Lu Yufei, thank you. If I can turn over in the future, I will definitely come and thank you for your encouragement!"
"Brother, you haven't eaten yet. My house is there. Go to my house for dinner before leaving." Lu Yufei smiled.
Li Rui nodded, touched his stomach and said, "I really didn't eat. Can I really go to your house? It won't cause trouble, right?"
"Don't worry, my dad usually teaches me that although our tribe is very poor, we still need to be loving. When we encounter difficulties, we still need to help."
Li Rui felt moved in his heart, so he followed Lu Yufei to her house.
When she arrived at her door, Li Rui hesitated.
I saw that their family lived in a dilapidated old house. The courtyard gate was shaking and the tiles on the roof were scattered.
In the yard, there was a gray-haired woman chopping firewood, and a young woman next to her was helping to make a fire and cook.
Seeing Lu Yufei come in, the young woman greeted: "Yufei, why are the medicines so early today? "
At this time, the young woman saw a strange man standing outside the door and asked, "Yufei, he is..."
"Oh, he was the one I encountered on the road. He said he hadn't eaten yet, so..." Lu Yufei whispered, and it could be seen that their family was already a bare-stop. If you bring someone to eat, you would open your mouth and consume a portion of food.
The young woman did not speak, but looked at the old woman inside.
The old woman put down her work, walked slowly to Li Rui, looked at him, and said softly: "Young man, come in, and leave after eating the hot food."
Li Rui nodded and followed her into the house.
The old woman first entered the inner room. After a while, an old man walked out of the room, leaning on a bamboo stick, his eyes were dim but full of majesty.
"What's your name?" the old man asked.
"Lin Kun."
"Where do you get the call?"
"Shanghai."
“Where are you going?”
"I haven't figured out yet, where can I escape?"
"The world is so big, where is it?" the old man sighed and said, "Don't escape, just stay here."
Li Rui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Stay here?"
The old man coughed and said, "My family has five people. A few years ago, my son was arrested and was left in prison for committing a crime, and only four of us were left. I have lame legs and farming harder. There is no strong labor at home. If you want, stay."
"Uncle Lu, you don't worry about me..."
"I have seen many people who fled. You have no anger. I believe you are not a bad person." The old man said weakly and powerlessly: "Everyone has his own way to go. If you can enter my house in this life, it means we are destined to be. Instead of losing your life, just find a place to live and support yourself."
