Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Road Goes to the Sky, Go Separately
It's just that...... Comrade Xia Lei should rarely quarrel with others on weekdays, how does this sound ambiguous?
Anyway, passerby A thought that Xia Lei agreed with his opinion, and immediately classified himself and Xia Lei as one country.
"Xiaorui, I'll carry you. After walking for almost half an hour, Zhou Rui didn't complain, which couldn't help but make Xia Leigao glance at her.
However, the child's development is not complete, and walking too much will have an impact on future growth, so don't go.
Xia Lei's words were flat and straightforward, leaving no room for Zhou Rui to refuse, Zhou Rui is not a young girl, and she doesn't have so much hypocrisy, so she will carry it on her back!
But where is this place?
Flights from Hong Kong to the United Kingdom are usually from east to west, flying over Russian airspace, and then entering Europe, according to the time, they should still be in Russia.
In this regard, Xia Lei has an advantage, don't look at him himself is not good at words, but he has an excellent language talent at least daily communication, he has no pressure to learn, in view of the ambiguous relationship between Huaxia and Russia, Xia Lei can speak Russian, no problem!
It's just that Russia is a vast and sparsely populated place, and the place where the plane landed was deliberately selected to be far away from the people, and it took almost two hours in one direction before everyone saw a small village.
Small villages far away from the city generally have two attributes, one is the excessive enthusiasm, and I can't wait to treat every pedestrian who passes by as my closest relative. The other is extremely xenophobic, catching a stranger is like meeting an enemy who killed his father.
Which one will they encounter?
The result is...... Polarized! Surprised?
The inhabitants of the small village were friendly to the yellow-skinned Chinese, but showed extreme dislike for whites and blacks, and refused to let them into the village.
There must be a reason for such a performance, but now is not the time to pursue it, in the end, it was Xia Lei, a yellow race who is not hated, who came forward and asked the "most knowledgeable" village chief in this village about the geographical location of this place and the location of the nearest city.
However, after such a long journey, even if there is a direction, many tired and thirsty people are not willing to go any further.
"Young man, tell the villagers if they can sell us some water and food, and give us a place to rest. The one who spoke was an old English gentleman in his sixties, who should have been exercising all year round, and walked for almost two hours, although his demeanor and other things were left behind, but at least he followed the army and did not drop the chain.
"Yes, but I only have Hong Kong dollars and pounds, and no rubles! Ask them if the pounds are okay?" There were also people on the other side shouting, but the voice sounded very tired, and whoever asked him to shout it was still not loud.
"I have US dollars here, I should be able to do it, the mainstream international currency! Besides, the depreciation of the ruble is so serious, or the dollar is the strongest!" This person said, how many dollars in his hand is amazing?
Xia Lei just glanced at everyone lightly, but after looking at Zhou Rui, who was resting by him, he still decided to discuss with the villagers.
The result of the negotiations was not satisfactory, because apart from the ruble, people did not want either dollars or pounds, let alone other currencies with a wide range of corners, and they could exchange it for food and water, gold!
Yes, that's right, they only recognize gold!
In '96, there were a lot of people with gold jewelry, especially the Hong Kong people who took this flight, almost all of them dair some gold jewelry.
However, there are always people who don't wear it, so these people began to drum up that the villagers are greedy, people's hearts are insufficient, there is no humanitarianism, and so on.
Let Xia Lei talk about it again? He is not stupid, how could he go, besides, he has already bought enough food and water for himself and Zhou Rui to eat and drink all the way, and he cares what others do!
It's just that in this way, Xia Lei has become the target of public criticism, who makes him have the best and most water, and some people even advocate that Xia Lei is in league with the robbers!
"He was the one who helped the robber kick that man down, and he was an accomplice of the robbers!"
"Yes, I saw it too, if he hadn't escaped, that person would have run away, maybe some rescuers would have found us right now!"
Okay, why didn't you talk about Xia Lei helping the "robbers" arrest people before?
Because no one is a fool, what kind of robbers will let people go intact, even if they don't have as much money as the Feynman family, but they can still collect money by blackmailing airlines!
After all, this is a kidnapping case that happened on the plane, and the airline is responsible, and in order to prevent the scandal from happening, the airline will definitely be willing to pay a ransom of millions of dollars.
But the robbers didn't do anything, they caught someone and left, obviously a group of people with a strong purpose.
So what if these people don't get there? Maybe they're going to be miserable.
It is precisely because most people have this mentality, so they did not show doubts about Xia Lei before, but now, isn't this a public anger, a little thing can be turned out, let alone such a big handle.
Does Xia Lei care about other people's opinions? Obviously not!
And those who are unwilling to pay gold in exchange for drinking water are just enjoying themselves, and if they really want to do it, they don't dare to face Xia Lei, who has already shown his kung fu.
It just so happens that Xia Lei is still reluctant to take so many people away, the left and right directions have already told these people, just scold, scold, anyway, it doesn't hurt or itch, the road is facing the sky, and it's not possible to go to one side.
"Come on, Xiaorui, come up!" Xia Lei said and squatted down again, carrying Zhou Rui on his body.
Because he knew that Xia Lei's physique was ten times higher than ordinary people, Zhou Rui was not hypocritical, and continued to let people carry it, but he took the water in Xia Lei's hand.
"Hey, you're waiting for me! I don't have any gold, so you'll give me something to eat." ”
Who is this man? who is so justifiably shouting about good food and drink? Who else but James!
"That, Xiao Rui'er, I'm your Uncle James, Hank, you know, right? And Alice, they asked me to help you, we're all together!" Anyway, the identity was already known to Xia Lei, and James directly tore the vest and exposed his true body.
"Who is in the same group as you, you say it's Hank, it's Hank? There are a lot of foreigners who call Hank by this name! It's the same as Xiao Ming!" Zhou Rui wrinkled her little nose and deliberately teased James.
