Chapter 1160 White Mountains and Black Waters
That evening, Gao Dashan's house was bustling with activity. Wei Hong and her six family members, along with Gao's own family, filled two tables. If Gao Dashan weren't in poor health, he probably would have sought revenge on Wei Hong for getting him drunk at her wedding years ago.
"Dad, you're such a heavy drinker, and you've never had a drink with Sister Wei Hong?" Gao Min asked with some surprise.
"Your father was really embarrassed back then! He wanted to rely on his drinking ability to challenge Zhao Cheng to a drinking contest, but Zhao Cheng didn't offer any help. Instead, Wei Hong started drinking with your father. On this joyous occasion, Wei Hong drank three catties of baijiu, showing your father what it means to be outdone! The worst part is that Wei Hong acted like nothing happened after drinking and continued with the wedding, while your father, on the other hand, lay in Zhao's house for a whole night and most of the day before he sobered up!" Qiu Ying said irritably.
"What? Wei Hong can drink three jin of baijiu?" Gao Min was utterly astonished. Not only her, but Xiao Suizi and the others were also incredibly surprised!
That's three catties! And it's a strong liquor like Shaodaozi!
"Who would have known that a girl like her could drink so much? Later I found out that the Zhao family members were all heavy drinkers. I remember Wei Guang, who was only a teenager at the time, could drink with Zhao Gang! He was trained by Li Yunlong!" Gao Dashan said with a face full of grief and indignation.
The next morning, Gao Min dressed neatly and boarded Wei Hong's minibus, which drove from Baishan to Linjiang!
Linjiang is the border area between our country and North Korea. The river here is very narrow, only about 200 meters wide, and you can see the other side with the naked eye.
After an hour's drive, they arrived at Linjiang Town. Looking at the barren landscape across the river, especially the North Korean soldiers patrolling back and forth with guns, even Xiao Suizi, a soldier herself, looked shocked.
"Sister Min, why are they taking such strict defensive measures against us now?" Xiao Suizi asked, frowning.
"One reason is probably related to their current leader. Another reason is that North Korea is still aligned with the North Koreans and keeps a distance from us!" Gao Min said helplessly.
"Sigh! We should have organized the river crossing operation later back then!" Xiao Suizi's face was full of unease!
"Let's go, forget about all this unpleasant stuff. Now that we're in Linjiang, I'll take you to try some of the local delicacies!" Gao Min said.
Although Linjiang is just a very small town, it has seen important battles like the Four Defenses of Linjiang take place here.
After a day of sightseeing, Gao Min took Wei Hong and the others to stay overnight at the town government's guesthouse, where they enjoyed local delicacies, including a dog meat feast!
"Is this dog meat?" Hong Xin stared in shock at the large plate of meat on the table.
"Of course, this is authentic Korean cuisine! As the saying goes, 'Dog meat, once cooked, is so delicious that even immortals can't resist it.' This is truly a delicacy! Paired with local wine, it's an absolute feast for the senses!" Gao Min introduced as she invited the group to sit on the kang (heated brick bed).
“In our Mingzhu, you can only eat dog meat in the Fortress City; you can’t find it anywhere else! After the Fortress City was demolished, there was nowhere left to eat it!” Hong Xin picked up a piece, cooked it in the boiling hot pot, and then dipped it in fine salt. The taste was absolutely delicious!
"Hehe, good things should be prepared in the simplest way, you guys hurry up and eat!" Gao Min also quickly urged the others to start eating.
Meanwhile, in the next private room, four oddly-looking men were eating dog meat hotpot.
"Brother, we urgently need money. Do you know any ways to make money?" a short man asked in Korean.
"I've gotten a few jobs, but they require us to smuggle ourselves into South Korea!" the leader, addressed as "Big Brother," said thoughtfully.
"Really? Big brother, you're willing to take us to South Korea to make a fortune? I've heard that it's a land of gold, where you can earn a lot of money, and it's a colorful world everywhere!" A tall, thin man opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Wait for my news. I estimate we'll be setting off soon. Don't go too far these next few days!" The boss looked at his three subordinates who were stuffing themselves with food and felt a headache coming on.
"Gao Min, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat!" Wei Hong couldn't help but remind Gao Min when she saw her lost in thought.
“There are a few guys behind us discussing how to smuggle themselves across the border. We need to get the police here immediately to arrest them. We must contact the local police; we can’t let these bad guys get away with it!” Gao Min said.
"Really? Do you know the police's phone number here? If you don't know anyone, and they try to deny it, your own testimony alone won't be enough to convict them!" Wei Hong said.
“My husband was assigned here as a policeman after retiring from the military! That’s perfect, I’m looking for her!” Gao Min said after thinking for a moment.
"Then you make the call, I'll keep an eye out and make sure they don't get away!" Wei Hong took out her cell phone and handed it to Gao Min, then quietly pressed her ear against the wall to listen to the people in the back of the private room chatting and joking.
"Alright! My comrade will be here with his men in a bit!" Gao Min finished the call in less than five minutes and said to the group.
"Big sister, Min-jie, are we going to get into trouble?" He Qing was very timid. The airport incident a few days ago had already given her quite a fright. What would happen now?
"Hehe, don't worry! I'm here for you, aren't I? Big sister will protect you!" Wei Hong said with a smile.
"Big sister, someone who tries to illegally cross the border probably won't get a long sentence, right? Besides, this is a Korean-majority area, so I reckon they'll be out soon, and they might retaliate against us!" Xiao Suizi said directly, disregarding past grievances.
"Hehe, it's not that I'm looking down on them, but the fact that they can get within a meter of Sister Fang and Sister Yan is impressive!" Wei Hong curled her lips in disdain.
“Don’t be afraid, my comrades and I will step in later! Since we’ve run into them, we can’t just sit idly by! Especially since they said they were going to South Korea. Many people from here illegally cross over there, some to work and earn money, and some to become thugs and hitmen! They commit serious crimes there! So in recent years, Lin Province has consciously strengthened the management of these counties and cities in the east, just so that this little thing doesn’t cause any international disputes!” Gao Min said.
"These people can be assassins?" Shi Xiaona asked.
"Hehe, of course! And because the languages are similar, plus they ran back after committing crimes over there, they were quite successful! The biggest one over there was a guy from our side named Mian Zhenghe. He was from Yanbian, and his men controlled the water traffic between the two countries. They were involved in smuggling, robbery, murder, you could say they did all sorts of evil!" Gao Min explained to the group in a low voice.
“I never imagined that these lazy Korean men would have this side to them,” Sun Xiaomin said, shrugging.
