Chapter 33 [A Foreign Country]
Vietnam.
The corner of an alley in a city or village.
Next to it is a motorcycle repair shop, and the floor is covered with black oil stains.
Vietnamese residents come and go in the vegetable market, just like the mainland in the late 80s.
"Ahem!"
Sun Yuan was a little unaccustomed to smoking cigarettes here, and he always felt choked with a sore throat.
They had all changed their outfits, and from a distance they looked like the locals were dressed.
He was watching the situation, and Dong Ergou was in charge of wandering around the vegetable market, and it was not easy to find an enthusiastic old woman to help them guide the way.
Dong Ergou tried to communicate with the other party in broken English, but the old woman couldn't understand it at all.
In the end, I really had no choice but to use sign language and gesturing to convey the meaning.
Dong Ergou took a map of Kunlun Island, and then used his fingers to make a gesture of a small person walking, signaling that they wanted to go to this place, but they didn't know how to get there.
“*;……%¥#¥%……*()——”
The old woman explained for a moment, and found that the other party did not understand, and then began to try to imitate the sound of a certain vehicle.
"Doodoo-"
Dong Ergou had a feeling of crying and laughing, he didn't know if the other party was talking about a train or something.
He crouched down and picked up a rock, tried to draw a railroad track underground, and then drew a pattern of a train walking along the track.
The old woman also shook her head with a bitter face, indicating that it was wrong.
She was in a hurry, so she simply pulled Dong Ergou to a well, fetched a bucket of water, picked a vegetable leaf and folded it slightly, indicating that she was going to take a boat over.
"Oh, I see, I see!"
Dong Ergou responded with a smile, and then continued to ask the old woman where she could take the boat.
The two of them tossed for about ten minutes, and finally explained the route clearly.
He took a deep breath, then looked around vigilantly to make sure that there were no suspicious characters following him, and then walked towards Sun Yuan.
Dong Ergou: "Ask clearly, we have to take a car to the nearby big city, and then take a train to a place called Ba Ria Vung Tau Port to take a boat." ”
Sun Yuan felt that this matter was really troublesome, and he simply said: "Why don't you just spend money to find a local tour guide, find someone who understands Chinese." ”
After trying just now, Dong Ergou also realized that the language barrier is indeed very troublesome.
However, it may not be easy to find a tour guide who understands Chinese.
The two looked at each other and entered the alley.
Their foothold was the home of a lonely old man here, and they casually stuffed some money to each other, although the language barrier, but the power of money was extremely strong, and the other party quickly agreed to let them stay for two days.
……
Back in the small dilapidated room.
Liang Fu sat there and rubbed his head, in order to ensure that their whereabouts would not be revealed, they cut off all communication equipment.
Just yesterday, through the hands of locals, I bought an old mobile phone with a card.
Originally, I wanted to try to send a text message to Chen Dong to contact the other party, help plan the route to Kunlun Island, and send the photo of the Kunlun Island prison to see if there could be other clues.
But now a full day and a night have passed, and no answer has been received.
Zhong Xujie muttered and guessed: "Could it be that because of overseas problems, the mobile phone text message can't be sent?"
"It has been shown that the delivery was successful, this time I imitated the advertising content of overseas fraudulent text messages, and he should be able to see it in theory. Liang Fu shook his head and explained: "I suspect that Chen Dong has nothing to do with it, so he can't reply to me." ”
Dong Ergou sat there with his legs crossed, and said indifferently: "Then don't care, even if you get in touch, it won't help us much." ”
"I've got the route, and I can leave tonight. ”
Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you.
Liang Fu pushed the frame of his glasses, and then analyzed seriously: "The only thing I am worried about now is that there is no truth waiting for us on Kunlun Island, only traps!"
"That picture is more than a decade old now, and unless it is a life sentence, the detainee should have been released. ”
As soon as I said this, everyone suddenly remembered that there was still such a possibility.
Sun Yuan was a little unhappy, he scolded: "Damn, this group of rabbit cubs just calculated that we will definitely go, so they sent the photo." ”
Dong Ergou swallowed a mouthful of water, and he hesitated and said, "The embarrassing thing is that I know it's a trap, and I'm afraid I have to take a trip." ”
Right now.
Zhong Xujie had a flash of inspiration, and he blurted out with some excitement: "I know, there is another way." ”
"Prison visit, we can call this prison in the name of prison visit!"
"If we're lucky, the prison will tell us directly that the person has been released or that there is any formalities required to visit the prison. ”
Liang Fu pondered for a few minutes, and he knew that there was no other choice now.
He pulled out the "death list" and glanced at the names on it.
I can only guess that one of these people is in prison, but I don't know who it is, that is, even if I call and pretend to visit the prison, I'm afraid I have to try one by one.
"Looks like it's going to take some time!"
Now that it has been determined that the two families of Lao Song and Lao Mo are still alive, the red "×" on this list cannot be completely believed.
However, it can still serve as a reference.
His pupils dilated slightly, and then he spoke: "There is no way to confirm who is being imprisoned, so let's start with these names that may not be dead." ”
"To avoid arousing suspicion, make a phone call every two days as much as possible. ”
After a little thought, he had already decided on the plan for this trip.
Liang Fu said decisively: "Spend money to see if we can find a car nearby, and we'll drive over." ”
"It's not clear what level we want in China, although it should be safe here, but after all, if you don't have a passport, you still choose to drive safely. ”
"Once we are targeted by the local police, it will not do us any good to treat them as ordinary stowaways!"
Dong Ergou sat there with his hands on his chest, and then responded: "No problem, I'll try!"
In fact, because they didn't have passports and didn't have local identification, it was difficult for them to find a hotel to stay at on the way.
I don't even know if I can buy a train ticket, driving is the only option.
……
Drifting into the night.
In this foreign town, everyone has an indescribable loneliness.
Dong Ergou and Qi Xiaogou took the initiative to greet each other when they saw the car along the road, and tried to ask the owner if he could sell the car to them through communication.
Most people didn't hesitate to refuse.
Later, both of them also learned wisely, and simply took out high-value dollar bills, saying that they were willing to buy these people's cars at three or even four times the price, and finally someone was willing to negotiate with them.
Fortunately, the US dollar is the second currency in Vietnam, and they don't need to take the risk of exchanging it for the VND.
The whole process was much more difficult than expected, although many people expressed their attitude of consideration when they saw the dollar.
But in the end, he was still worried that it was a counterfeit banknote, and the owner shook his head and refused.
It wasn't until the wee hours of the morning that they found a Chinese restaurant owned by an old Chinese in his sixties, and with the help of the other party, they managed to convince two local Vietnamese families who had a car to transfer their car at a high price.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you so much!"
Dong Ergou smiled and handed five thousand dollars to the overseas Chinese old man as a reward, which was not enough for them.
Even if it is ten times more, it will not be able to express everyone's gratitude.
But I'm still worried that giving too much will make people suspicious.
5,000 US dollars is converted into tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention Vietnamese dong, which is quite a considerable amount of money in this kind of town.
The old overseas Chinese learned that everyone wanted to go to Kunlun Island for a self-driving trip, and they also specially helped plan a feasible route, and also left contact information for each other, indicating that if there was anything they needed help on the way, just contact themselves.
Qi Xiaogou and Dong Ergou drove the car to pick everyone up and left the town overnight.
Once this trip is gone, it will be another long journey.
The bright moonlight fell, and it looked particularly charming and beautiful.
