"Brother Hu, why are there so many temples here? Are these Taoist temples or monk temples?"
Sitting in the car, Fang Yi found that some temples could often be seen on both sides of the road, although they were not big, but the number was extremely large, and it was less than an hour after the car drove out, and he had seen at least twenty or thirty temples.
"All are monk temples, Myanmar is a Buddhist country, monks have a very low position in Myanmar, men only become monks once, the society recognizes them as adults, and only after returning to the lay can they enjoy the right to marry......"
Ah Hu looked at Fang Yi and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, do you want to become a monk in Myanmar? As long as you become a monk here, you can marry a wife in Myanmar, Myanmar is polygamous, you have no problem marrying four wives......
"Brother Hu, don't make fun of me, I believe in Taoism, how can I become a monk?"
Fang Yi hurriedly shook his head when he heard this, and his face became stern, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has existed since ancient times, even though Fang Yi looked at it relatively lightly, he didn't like someone to mention the issue of faith in front of him.
"Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a Taoist...... Hearing Fang Yi's words, Ah Hu hurriedly apologized, he was actually not a Burmese, but an overseas Chinese in Thailand, he and Peng Bin met in black boxing, and had been to many places in Southeast Asia.
Ah Hu had seen the fanaticism of ****** religion and the piety of Tibetan Buddhism, because he knew that faith was not something to be joked about, and if he dared to eat pork in the ****** territory, I was afraid that no matter how good his skills were, he would be beaten to death.
"Brother Hu, it's okay, as long as you don't let me become a monk, then it's fine......" Seeing Ah Hu's serious face, Fang Yi also laughed and said, "Brother Hu, tell me about the country of Myanmar......
"Myanmar and Thailand are actually similar in terms of beliefs, but the customs are different......
Although Ah Hu is not Burmese, he has been in Myanmar for some years, according to him, there are two major events in the life of a man in Myanmar, the first is to become a monk, and the second is to get married.
The social system in Myanmar divides people into five classes, with monks being first-class citizens and being respected by all, men being second-class citizens, women being third-class citizens, nuns being fourth-class citizens, and ladyboys being fifth-class citizens.
Myanmar is a very thoroughly patriarchal country, because their social system is basically biased towards men.
Just like the strange reasons for Burmese men to become monks, the poor become monks to have a place to eat and live, the rich to live a long life, the infirm to eliminate disasters and diseases, and the strong to live a long life.
When you are lucky, you have to be a monk for a few days, and if you are unlucky, you have to be a monk to go to bad luck, for the happiness of marriage, you have to become a monk for the sake of happiness after marriage, and you have to be a monk after marriage to relive your celibate life before marriage.
The status of women in Myanmar is extremely low, almost no status at all, and women not only have to earn money to support their families, but also shoulder heavy family burdens.
Even if they become monks, men and women in Myanmar are not equal, because men can return to the vulgar when they become monks, and after returning to the world, they can drink wine, eat meat, and marry their daughters-in-law, while once a woman becomes a nun and becomes a nun, she cannot return to the vulgar for the rest of her life and must serve the Buddha for a lifetime.
Although according to the regulations, men in Myanmar can only marry a maximum of four wives, but many men have married more than four wives, and what is even more strange is that if a man can't afford to support his wife after marrying a wife, he still has the right to let his wife take his children to beg.
"A man in Myanmar, can he still be considered a man?"
Because he didn't know if the two people sitting in the back of the car were Burmese, Fang Yi's words were not spoken, but he made up his mind in his heart, he couldn't bring the fat man to Myanmar in the future, otherwise the kid might really go to the temple, and then marry a few wives and not leave.
"Brother, when you cross the mountain pass in front, don't shoot again......"
After the car drove out for more than two hours, Ah Hu, who was driving, said hello to Fang Yi, in fact, after the initial freshness, Fang Yi rarely shot, most of them were chatting with Ah Hu and looking at the exotic scenery on both sides of the road.
"Brother Tiger, there won't be any trouble, right?" Fang Yi could faintly feel a hint of danger coming from the front of him, especially on both sides of the mountain pass, if Fang Yi guessed correctly, someone must be ambushing in that place.
"It's okay, as long as you don't shoot......" Compared with the section of the road he passed just now, Ah Hu's face became more solemn, and said: "There are too many mountains in Myanmar, although they all buy the Peng family's account, but if the shooting is misunderstood, it is also a troublesome matter......
Now Myanmar is divided into several forces, the government army, the Shan State Army, the Kachin National Front, and the drug lord armed forces that have been entrenched in the Golden Triangle for half a century.
"Sure enough, there was an ambush ......"
When the car drove to the mountain pass, the speed in front of it began to slow down, and Fang Yi saw that the mountain pass was stopped by someone with a few pieces of wood, and a checkpoint was set up, and four or five men with guns on their backs stood there.
On a hill twenty or thirty meters away from the outpost, there was also a heavy machine gun, and the muzzle of the gun was faintly aimed at Fang Yi's convoy, which was also the reason why Fang Yi felt the danger.
Before coming to the checkpoint, the first car had stopped, and the one sitting on it jumped out of the car, talked to the people at the checkpoint for a while in a language that Fang Yi didn't understand, and then threw down a cigarette from the car, and the person who got the cigarette waved his hand, and the rest moved the wood that was blocked in the middle of the road.
"Don't worry, it's okay......" After the car drove through the checkpoint, Ah Hu smiled and said to Fang Yi: "Now this is the case everywhere in Myanmar, and some villages dare to come out and set up cards, if you don't give them some benefits, it's really not good......
"Brother Tiger, is the benefit just a cigarette?" Fang Yi smiled when he heard this: "Their requirements are really not high......
"The scorer ......"
Ah Hu shook his head and said: "We give them a cigarette, that's to give them face, if we really provoke us, their firepower won't work at all, but if we meet someone softer, then it's not a thing that a cigarette can solve the problem......"
The reason why Peng Bin's convoy was able to pass through the country, in addition to the prestige of the Peng family, the armament on their cars was not an ornament, and the heavy machine guns on the three jeeps were enough to destroy a lightly armed army, and those who blocked the road naturally did not dare to go too far.
But if you change to an ordinary caravan and encounter a sentry post, it will definitely be knocked hard, if you meet a ruthless person, maybe you will detain all the people and goods of the caravan, and then let them notify their families to ransom people, and the nature of the roadblock robbery has developed directly from roadblock robbery to kidnapping and ransom.
Sure enough, as Ah Hu said, he stopped and stopped along the way, and he encountered more than 30 checkpoint posts, some of which were released directly when they saw the flag hanging by the first car, and some of them collected some cigarettes and other items, and it was not too difficult for the convoy.
But he also encountered a local armed force that was not very popular, even Peng Bin came forward, the two sides confronted each other with guns, and almost fought, and in the end Peng Bin threw out a thousand US dollars first, and only then did he give a step, and the convoy passed without danger.
Originally, due to various factors on the road, the journey lasted for 12 hours, and it was not until more than 8 o'clock in the evening that the convoy arrived at the outskirts of Yangon.
"Damn, it's finally here......"
When he came to the territory of the government army, Ah Hu was relieved, because now the Peng family and the government army are in the honeymoon period, and after reaching the sphere of influence of the government army, they are not afraid of anything else.
The convoy did not enter the city, but drove to a manor outside the city and stopped, according to Ah Hu, this is the property of the Peng family, which was specially built for him by the Burmese government in order to recruit Peng Jiasheng, but Peng Boss did not live here for a day.
"Hurry up and let people prepare the meal, after eating, the people in Ah Hu's car stay, and the others go back to ......" Peng Bin jumped out of the car and ordered loudly, this manor seems to be not small, but there are only seven or eight rooms, and it can't accommodate so many people at all.
"I won't eat anymore, I can't hold it, let's go to bed first......" After sitting in a car with bumpy roads for more than ten hours, when Chen Kai walked down from the car, the whole person was a little fluttering, Yu Xuan was even worse than him, he was helped out of the car by Peng Bin.
Although Fang Yi was not as unbearable as them, after eating the ashes for a day, his whole body seemed to be rolling in the dust, and as soon as his body moved, the dust fell straight down. ――
