Chapter 23 Military Figures

At 12:25 on July 17th, we followed the tour guide Yang Chuxia to the suburban scenic spot for a while, and then had lunch at a restaurant next to the scenic spot.

"Let's get out of the car. Tour guide Yang Chuxia waved the pennant in his hand, "This hotel is very famous in Bangkok. It is full every day, and there are no seats unless our travel agency has booked it in advance. ”

I listened to the tour guide Yang Chuxia say this, and looked curiously out of the glass window of the shuttle bus, a parking lot in front of the hotel, the area is the size of three basketball courts, and there are many cars and motorcycles parked everywhere, which shows the extent of the booming business.

"Gao Qidao, let's get out of the car. Xu Lixue turned to me and said.

"Hmm. I nodded.

I reached out and grabbed Xu Lixue's left hand and stood up, and Xu Lixue also followed my movements.

"Wow, what's the situation with the two of you?" asked the tour guide Yang Chuxiale.

"We're all right!" I smiled sweetly.

"You two are developing really fast!" "Tour guide Yang Chuxia shouted loudly into the microphone of the megaphone: "This trip to Thailand, successfully holding hands with a couple!"

"It's a world for young people now. Behind them, a middle-aged couple with their backs to the seats, wearing a black peaked cap embroidered with large white letters of the M character on the hat, and a pair of black sunglasses, the husband in a white shirt came out with this sentence.

Xu Lixue suddenly lowered her forehead shyly, and her face was flushed.

The shuttle driver joked: "Talented men and women are a natural pair." ”

At this point, I felt like I had no place to be ashamed, and I wanted to dig a pit and hide it......

I took Xu Lixue's left hand, walked into the door of the hotel together, and looked around the hotel lobby: nearly 100 tables in the room were full of customers, crowded with people, and the female waitress was busy with tea and food......

"Everybody sit at this table. The tour guide Yang Chuxia commanded.

Everyone sat down in their chairs one by one.

I looked closely and noticed that there was a special table of guests in the corner of the wall in the distance, all five of them wearing turquoise military uniforms. One of them, a tall, thin soldier, with sun-soaked complexion, short striking hair, eyes as sharp as owls, and a military insignia on the sleeve of his arm.

"Guide Yang, who are the soldiers at the table opposite?" I asked Yang Chuxia, the tour guide standing beside me, curiously.

"Those are the warlords of Thailand. ”

"Which tall man sitting in the middle should be the leader, right?" The subordinates next to him all toasted him. ”

"Yes. He's got a beginning. ”

"What's his origin? ”

Tour guide Yang Chuxia continued: "Tirio is the chief of staff of the leader Geeta, he is calm, cautious, and good at giving advice. Tirio grew up living in a tribe's cottage and received rigorous military training. ”

"Well, it's not easy. ”

"The task that the leader Geeta told him, Tirio always completed the task smoothly, and soon became the right-hand man of the leader Geeta. He is good at pulling teams, starting with three people to form an armed group and co-opt small gangs, and now it has grown into a team of several hundred people. He treats his subordinates with cold and warmth, treats people easily, talks about righteousness in the rivers and lakes, and is very loved by his subordinates. In order to fight for turf, Tirio often fights with other warlord gangs, and after winning a big victory, he builds his own territory. When Tirio goes out, he is often accompanied by four bodyguards to prevent assassination by his enemies, and he is very heroic. ”

"Tirio is a great strategist. I couldn't help but admire.

I saw Tirio holding a cigarette between his index and middle fingers, slowly swallowing the clouds and spitting out the mist, and patting his shoulder with his left hand, "Soil is dry and strong." ”

"Guide Yang, just now Tirio patted his subordinates on the shoulder, what did he mean by that?"

Tirio said to his men: Eat and drink well. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

The tour guide Yang Chuxia stood and said to everyone: "Each table is two soups and eight dishes, everyone eats slowly." ”

At this time, a delicate-looking waitress dressed in pink Thai national costume serves a plate of fragrant pineapple fried rice curry on a tray. This golden pineapple fried rice curry is filled with shrimp, rice, peas, red peppers, etc., and the aroma is mouth-watering.

"Are you hungry?" I scooped rice into a small white round bowl with a small soup spoon and handed it to Xu Lixue.

"Thank you. Xu Lixue took the curry pineapple fried rice with both hands and sniffed it with her nose, "It's so fragrant!"

At this point, I noticed Tirio looking over, watching intently the movements of our guests at the table.

I looked up in Tirio's direction, and the two of them locked eyes for a few seconds. I felt a magnetic field in him: resourcefulness.

Tirio noticed that I was looking at him too, and turned his head away from his gaze to look away.

The Thai waitress served another plate of Tom Yum Soup......

"I'll help you scoop a bowl of Tom Yum soup. Xu Lixue reached out and picked up my white round bowl.

"Where has Guide Yang gone?" I asked.

"Maybe Guide Yang doesn't eat here. Said the man wearing a black cap on the shuttle just now.

I looked around the hotel lobby and didn't see the tour guide Yang Chuxia.

Strange, where did the tour guide Yang Chuxia go to have lunch?

Half an hour later, we had a full lunch at the Thai restaurant, and walked out of the hotel door one after another to wait for the tour guide Yang Chuxia to come out.

The tour guide Yang Chuxia walked out of the door of the hotel, "Have you eaten lunch?"

"We're full. I took Xu Lixue's hand and said.

"The food in this Thai restaurant is still to taste, right?"

"The meals were delicious. ”

"I thought you wouldn't get used to it. ”

"Nope. ”

"Why haven't they come out yet?"

"Three of the travelers were also buying some Thai specialties at the restaurant. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

At this moment, Tirio walked slowly, one step at a time, swaying his arms, and the four men behind him followed......

One of his men nimbly stepped onto an army-green jeep, pulled the car keys out of his pocket, inserted them into the keyhole, and twisted them twice to start the jeep......

Where does the name Jeep come from?

There are currently two theories: first, from the 19th century comics, the image of the naughty and slender little animal Eugenie Jeep. It likes to run around, is witty and brave in the face of all kinds of dangers, and repeatedly turns danger into danger, and has a personality like a jeep;

The jeep has two transparent windshields and two black mirrors at the front, two round white headlights, and a spare wheel at the rear.

Tirio smoked a cigarette as he pedaled into the jeep, looked around, and said slowly, "Step!" (departure)

"What are you looking at? You're so fascinated. Xu Lixue gently hit my shoulder with her shoulder.

I turned my head and glanced at Xu Lixue, "I think this military jeep looks good." ”
