In a mountain village with an average monthly income of less than 2,000 baht, it would be hellish to come up with a few thousand dollars as compensation all at once. Therefore, it is necessary for Zhang Xiaofan to exchange the remaining money in hand for Thai baht.

Of course, he knew that Ha Gu was blackmailing, but the other party was a poppy grower, and behind him was the drug dealer Cha Wolf, which could already be regarded as an intersection with Jiang Shikun's wings. If you can't kill it, you have to break the fortune to avoid disaster.

At the beginning, Yao Bing agreed with him for a year, and whether he could raise enough money or not, whether there was a risk of being discovered, they would take Yang Buxing to smuggle him to other countries away from the Golden Triangle.

"Ah hungry, obediently listen to Sister Zhuxi's words at home! When you are hungry, let your sister make you something to eat." My brother goes out to buy you something to eat, and I'll come back the day after tomorrow, stay at home and don't run around......"

"I'm going to eat roasted sweet potatoes...... Ah hungry to eat roasted sweet potatoes......"

Yang Bu was hungry and dragged Zhang Xiaofan's shirt and shook it vigorously, and his words and deeds were worse than those of three or four-year-old children.

Seeing that the deceitful and thoughtful tactical genius in the past has now become like this, and even his eyes have lost their thoroughness and agility and become muddy, Zhang Xiaofan can only smile bitterly and is very helpless.

"Sister Zhuxi, I'll leave it to you if I'm hungry, I'll rush back as soon as possible. ”

"Brother Afan, don't worry, you won't be hungry for him. ”

Zhang Xiaofan explained a few words again, and then carried the small satchel on his back, and turned around in one step and three times to go to Qingnan Town. It wasn't until he couldn't see his back clearly that Zhuxi pulled up Yang Bu, who was lying on the ground and playing with mud, and returned to the yard.

Qingnan Town, although there is a word "town" in its name, is actually just a meeting point for this thirty or forty-kilometer mountain forest village. In this vast border between the two countries, there are actually many natural villages scattered around, and Qingnan Town can be said to be the center point of these villages.

It was originally set up by drug dealers to facilitate the collection of opium poppies. People who grow opium poppies from all over the world come to this place whenever the time comes, and they claim to get money.

Some villagers with active minds will bring some fruits, vegetables or handicrafts grown at home to trade with villagers in other villages. Over time, a regular market began to form here, and wine shops and food stalls also opened.

The people who came to collect opium poppies saw that there was a market here, and that if there was a market, of course, there would be oil and water, and soon brothels and casinos were built here, and they simply moved their strongholds here.

Zhang Xiaofan's Niudi Village is a relatively marginal village, so Zhang Xiaofan walked all day on this road alone, until the next morning, when he stood at the intersection and looked into the town, he knew why Zhuxi was very opposed to coming here.

Originally, the small markets spontaneously gathered by villagers in various villages were very simple small-scale peasant economies, but now with the participation of drug dealers such as Cha Wolf, it has immediately become a capitalist exploitation society.

What Zhang Xiaofan sees now is the so-called security brigade collecting fees from those small traders who set up stalls. Since this is a place outside the law, incidents of bullying occur from time to time, and it can be said that it is very common.

As you can see now, those few people who collect protection money are feasting in front of a small shop selling soy sauce beef, and it is impossible to give money, and the store can only laugh and dare not say much.

This kind of special place is more vigilant about the arrival of strangers, so Zhang Xiaofan doesn't want to be too ostentatious, and walks directly to the "bank" with his head down throughout the whole process.

Yes, there is a "bank" set up here, of course, this is not the traditional sense, but only a single exchange for baht. Of course, the exchange rate is also the final say of Jiang Shikun, the boss here.

Gambling transactions in the Golden Triangle are basically paid in US dollars, and they are naturally issued to growers in US dollars. However, the US dollar cannot be used to buy anything directly, but can only be exchanged for baht. So this kind of exchange "bank" was born. Every year, relying on this price difference alone, Jiang Shikun can make a lot of money.

In fact, the more than 3,000 US dollars in Zhang Xiaofan's pocket is really not much, but it is also half a year's remuneration for two or three growers. So when he exchanged such a large amount at once, he still managed to attract the attention of some people.

"All of this has to be exchanged for baht?"

"Yes, please hurry. Just give me 100,000 baht, and the extra will be tipped as a tip. ”

Zhang Xiaofan couldn't see the greed in the eyes of the few people behind the counter. So he wanted to cut through the mess quickly and leave as soon as he finished withdrawing the money.

Hearing that Zhang Xiaofan was so generous, he was exempted from thousands of baht at once, which made people even more curious about him.

"If you don't change it, forget it, it's a big deal if I walk the mountain road for two more days and change it somewhere else. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan was about to leave when he lifted his satchel, the guy behind the counter hurriedly stopped him with his hand.

"Swap for change...... Change it right away. ”

This is a big fat sheep, and the small satchel will be stuffed with 100,000 baht in three or two, and Zhang Xiaofan will not stop and turn around and leave. And just as he was going out, the guy in front of the counter hurriedly glanced at a few people in the room, so the four big men chased after him with weapons in their arms.

You can't do anything to the villagers in the town, this is the rule that Cha Wolf has set for his subordinates. It's okay to take advantage of small fights, but if anyone makes a killer, no matter what it is, it will touch the bottom line and lose its foothold.

But Zhang Xiaofan is different, these people can easily see that he is different from other growers, those villagers who have never seen the world will only pay for baht, and will definitely not be so generous to subtract thousands of dollars at once.

As for Zhang Xiaofan, when he went out, he had already realized his mistake and began to regret it, and out of the corner of his eye, he unexpectedly saw someone following him, but fortunately, he was careful enough to make some disguise on his face, so that he would not be recognized as his true face.

Speaking of hiding in the jungle and running for a long distance, Zhang Xiaofan had to throw off the four people behind him for a few streets. He had just left the town and immediately went into the mountains and forests. In just the blink of an eye, the few people who chased after him had already lost their sights.

"What about people? I saw him come in just now. Why is it that this blink of an eye is gone?"

"There's something wrong with this man, you see the branches and foliage here are so dense, but if you look again, you can see the slightest trace of people walking by.

My grandfather used to be an old hunter in the mountains, and he was able to do this without leaving a trace. ”

"You're saying this person is also an old hunter of the mountains and forests?"

"I don't know, I just know that if we catch up again, it's very likely that we won't be able to come back, so let's go back first!"

Several people felt frightened for a while after hearing such an analysis from their companions, and all the guns pinned to their bodies were taken out and guarded around.

These four people are indeed cautious, and the timely reminder of the grandfather is Orion really saved everyone's lives. In the bushes more than ten meters away from them, Zhang Xiaofan was indeed ready to take the opportunity to finish off a few of them with a dagger in his hand. But after waiting for a long time to see that the other party did not catch up, he walked out again and hurried home.

As for the four people who returned to the bank to report what happened, the person in charge felt that it was necessary to let the boss check the wolf know about this matter, after all, the appearance of such a sophisticated person in this area could already be regarded as a threat. Fortunately, when exchanging the baht, the person in charge made a note on several of the banknotes, which was very helpful for future traceability.

Zhang Xiaofan's trip was considered to be in danger, but at this time, there were people in the broken thatched hut at the foot of Niudi Village who were afraid of him for a day and a night.

"Ah Hunger, you said that the family is poor like this, what can Ah Fan exchange for such a large sum of money?"

Zhuxi sat on the edge of the stove and watched the fire, and when he had nothing to do, he asked Yang Buyu if he was hungry or not, and he didn't expect him to answer. It's been a morning, and this guy knows how to tease ants there with a stick, and he talked to him in a perfunctory way, but he didn't expect a sudden response this time:

"There's a box, and Afan said it's my treasure and can't be seen by people. ”

After shouting this, Yang was not hungry and continued to tease his ants. But this aroused Zhuxi's curiosity, if it was really a valuable treasure, then if it was sold, Daddy would not dislike Ah Fan for being too poor, and he might be able to marry him. Thinking of this, Zhuxi immediately paid attention.

"Hee...... I'm hungry, what kind of box is it, take it out and show it to my sister, okay?"

Yang didn't pay attention to her and continued to mess with the ants on the ground.

"Okay, I'm hungry, just take it out and let my sister see it." ”

This time it was even more outrageous, Yang was not hungry and simply turned his face away and left the back of the other party's head directly.

"Forget it, if you don't look at it, you won't see it, then today's roasted sweet potatoes won't have your share. ”

Hearing that there was a roasted sweet potato, Yang Bu was hungry and jumped up directly from the ground, and the distance from the yard to the house was six or seven meters away, and he frightened Zhuxi half to death on the spot like a ghost.

Soon, Yang Bu in the room was not hungry and took out a small sandalwood box the size of half a palm out of nowhere. and a fish-shaped jade pendant with a transparent green body. Then he squatted directly on the corner of the stove, looking at Zhuxi with his eyes bonely.

It wasn't until a while that Zhuxi came back to his senses from the fright just now, and before he could figure out what was going on, he was deeply attracted by the jade pendant in Yang Buxing's hand.

Women are always attracted to things that shine, like diamonds, gold, meteors, and the like. And now, Yang Buxing's hand was a small thing that glowed green in the sun, and her eyes couldn't move.

"Ah, what is this? It's so beautiful! Quick, let my sister take a look. ”

Zhuxi stepped forward quickly to take over the half of the Pisces in Yang Buxing's hand, but she moved quickly and Yang Buxing's hand was faster, and she was covered in the palm of her hand before she could get close.

"Roasted sweet potato!

Yang Buxing stretched out his other hand and shouted, the meaning is very simple, that is, you roast sweet potatoes for me and I will show you jade pendants.

But where to get roasted sweet potatoes on Zhuxi at this time, there is a big pot of noodles boiling in this pot.

"Ah hungry, this pot has your favorite big plate of noodles, let's eat the noodles first, the roasted sweet potatoes are not ripe yet!"

At this time, Yang Bu, who was only three or four years old, said yes, of course, he handed the box and jade pendant to Zhuxi, and the other hand went to open the lid of the pot.

It's just that as soon as the lid of the pot is opened, the water vapor rises, and Zhuxi, who took over the things, was suddenly burned like this, and his arm immediately retracted, and the small box fell into the pot in its entirety, but fortunately, the jade pendant was caught in time and did not fall inside.

"Oops...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so careless......"

Zhuxi hurriedly scooped up the box with a spoon, and then wiped it clean with a rag. But when she opened it to see if the contents were damaged, she found that it was just an ordinary wooden box, and there was nothing in it at all, maybe the box itself was used to hold jade pendants, Zhuxi thought so......
