Chapter 147: Focus

After coming to the war zone, Yan Jiucheng had a clearer and clearer understanding of what he was engaged in counter-espionage work for, and this understanding was not just like what was written in the book: for my motherland.

It's really from the heart.

Driving through this dilapidated war zone, everything along the way, including the smell of running and floating in the air, makes people feel unreal, especially when they have just arrived here from a peaceful country, and they feel as if they have come to another world.

World peace is just a utopia.

"Get out of the car, the road ahead is not passable, you have to walk over. The car stopped at a broken wall, and the three of them got out of the car, in fact, Yan Jiucheng knew the way, and the map in his mind was clear, but after hearing Sholk pointing the way, he naturally pretended not to know and followed behind.

This stretch of the road is the most different.

Although it is as dilapidated as other places, it is colorful, because any place around that can help the ribbon is tied with a belt, and the name is written on it, but the color of the ribbon is different, red and black and yellow.

"The religion is the same, and the culture is the same. Sholk pointed to a large rock: "You stand here and shoot, the effect is good." ”

Yan Jiucheng took out the camera, stood on the big rock, half-squatted down and began to shoot, sure enough, the composition of the street under this angle lens is perfect, red, yellow, and black ribbons are flying, forming an indescribable landscape on both sides of the dilapidated street, which is both beautiful and sad.

These ribbons are used by the local residents to pray for blessings, and in such a large place, the local residents have the same language, the same accent, and naturally even the form of prayer. Religion is extremely important in the hearts of the local people, because apart from the belief that there are gods to save them, the local people have no second savior.

The yellow ribbon is used to pray for the wounded relatives in the family, although there are doctors here, but there are few medicines, so you can only rely on the gods to bless them, and the black ribbon is used to pray for the blessing of the deceased relatives in the family, death is so common that every name on each belt represents the loss of a life.

If the yellow and black bands are sad, the red bands represent happiness.

"In such a chaotic place, there are still so many people who have love. Gu Miqing gently picked up a red ribbon, on which were written the names of a man and a woman, and hearts were drawn on both ends.

The red ribbon represents love, and couples who fall in love or are in a relationship will come to this street for the first time to hang a ribbon with their name written on it to pray for blessings.

"Let's shoot here, come here, this location is a must-shoot, and it's easy to get a draft. Scholke pointed to the smoke in the distance: "Quick, the smoke of the bombing, focus quickly!"

Click, Yan Jiucheng pressed the shutter, and then looked at the photos he took, and couldn't help but have an indescribable emotion, when he didn't join this organization, he occasionally saw relevant reports on this area on the international news page, including photos of this scene, when the scene of this photo appeared in front of him, and when he appeared in his camera, people's emotions became subtle.

I have to say that today's weather is very good, coupled with the bombing in the distance, the sky is filled with a layer of gunsmoke, which makes the background of the whole picture thicker, it can be said that it is better than the photos taken by the reports sent by war correspondents that Yan Jiucheng saw before.

There is a hint of pride, more of a sadness.

Because the photo can't smell the smell, but Yan Jiucheng in this scene can clearly smell the smell of decay caused by death.

"Why are all the red bands tied next to the black bands?" Gu Miqing looked around and found that almost all the red bands would be tied next to the black ones, without exception, which made her quite curious.

"Because people feel that their deceased relatives can bless themselves and protect their love. Scholk replied with a wry smile, and he ran to a pile of stones, his clothes rattling in the wind around him.

As he spoke, a gust of wind blew suddenly, and blew off a lot of straps, and several of them blew on him, and he picked them up, jumped down from the mound again, and carefully tied them to the protruding steel bars on the side.

Yan Jiucheng focused again and filmed this scene.

"You shoot me?" Scholk laughed, as he seemed a little embarrassed.

"You took me a picture of the battle scene, and I will take a picture of you as a souvenir. Yan Jiucheng said as he stretched out his hand and secretly pressed the hidden button on the camera, and then, there was a slight vibration on his wrist, and the photo was transmitted to the watch hidden under his sleeve.

Pressing the watch, the photo was smoothly transferred to Xuanlin's notebook.

Although the organization conducted a preliminary investigation of the personnel of the reporter station before they came, according to common sense, Yan Jiucheng could react according to his own judgment, but Scholke has not shown any evidence of espionage so far, but it is so different that the organization has to lock him up again and check the details.

You can't kill by mistake, and you can't let a spy go.

————————

The underground auditorium is located at the very edge of the city, near the mines, where there are no air raids, so it is relatively safe.

Walking near the mine, I found a long, long queue of men, women, and children, all crowded in a small iron gate, behind which was a long tunnel, through which one could reach the ore mining and the underground auditorium.

The underground auditorium, to put it bluntly, is squeezed out of the hollowed-out ore hole, and it is called the underground auditorium because of the frequent events held.

The underground auditorium is famous, not because of any big singing and dancing events, but because it is mysterious enough. No one ever photographed what happened in the underground auditorium, and the reporters who went in only described it through text after attending.

Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of contents, the first is the marriage ceremony, in the war zone men and women can not have the conditions to hold a wedding in one family, but according to their religion, marriage must meet a priest, so it is arranged to be held together.

The second is recruitment, which has been written in journalists' reports, including those recruited by mafia organizations and volunteers recruited by government forces.

In areas where the Three Kingdoms are at war and where the forces of multiple organizations are entrenched, the people will only gather together when events are held in the underground hall, and only at this time will the Three Kingdoms and the multiple organizations not attack them.

There were a lot of people crowded at the iron gate to enter the tunnel, at least nearly a thousand people, all with anxious expressions. Yan Jiucheng and the others crowded close to the crowd and slowly moved forward with the team.

"Are all these people here to participate in the event?" Yan Jiucheng was a little puzzled and asked, knowing that it was impossible for so many people to enter the underground auditorium.

"It is rare for the underground auditorium to hold an event, and the governments of the three countries have special funds, and many organizations will also release goodwill at this time in order to recruit people to join them, so everyone who enters the auditorium can get five loaves of bread. Sholk pointed to an old man with gray hair and a very bad face not far away: "A lot of people started queuing up yesterday. ”

The temptation of five loaves of bread is too great, and it is worth waiting in line for dozens of hours, even if it is a person who is close to the sixtieth year, he has to fight his life and line up in a row.

At this moment, there was a slight confusion in the crowd in the distance, and the gray-haired old man fell headlong.

"It's out of breath. After a while, there was the heart-rending cry of a young man, and the old man was carried out of the group by the young man, and the cry was instantly drowned in the commotion of the crowd.

The man from the government army who came to the iron gate, with the key in his hand, was about to open the door.

"Hurry, hurry!" The crowd around them crowded forward, and the surrounding area began to be filled with the cries of women and children, and the roars of men with all their might.

Yan Jiucheng pulled Gu Miqing to his chest, and was crowded by the crowd and hugged him tightly.

"Follow me. Schork squeezed out of the crowd and beckoned at Yan Jiucheng. He was the caller of this underground hall event, and he had the privilege of entering first, and several people ran near the iron gate, and Scholk took out the national flag in his hand and waved.

"Hey, it's me!" he shouted at the gun-wielding government soldiers inside the iron gate.

The government army looked over and immediately took out their guns and fired a few shots into the sky, and the crowd immediately quieted down, and they all looked at Shorke, and their eyes fell on the national flag in his hand.

"Fuck, shit offal!"

"It's the people of their country, let's keep fighting! Why don't you die!"

"This man's name is Shorke, and he interviewed me last time, and he has been filming here for many years, making stories from us and publishing them, and I don't know how much money he makes. ”

"There is no conscience, no one in this country has a conscience!"

Although the voice of the crowd behind him was small, Yan Jiucheng and they could hear it clearly, and Scholk naturally heard it clearly, he didn't look back, but a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he gritted his teeth and stuffed the national flag into his pocket.

"Please come in!" The government army's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he hurriedly greeted Xiao Erke in, and Yan Jiucheng followed behind him.

"Stop!" a government soldier pressed the gun in his hand against Yan Jiucheng's chest.

Yan Jiucheng took out his national flag and waved it.

"A journalist from a big country in the East. The government soldier smiled faintly and waved his hand: "You can go in, but let's line up in the back." ”

Here, Scorke's country cannot be offended in the eyes of the government forces of the three countries, so it is not surprising that he can promote the activities of such an underground auditorium. It's just that the government forces of the three countries are very smart, and I can't offend you, but I don't promise to protect you.

At most, give some face at the right time, and you release a little good news in exchange.

"My friend. Xiao Erke pointed at Yan Jiucheng and Gu Miqing.

As soon as the words fell, the gun on Yan Jiucheng's chest was put down, and the indifferent face of the government soldier before also became enthusiastic, he stretched out his hand towards Yan Jiucheng and shook it: "Since you are a friend of Sholk, of course you can enter in advance, please, you go first, and then let them in after passing, you just take a few good photos." ”

After passing the iron gate, there is a long, thin tunnel, which can be passed through for at least fifteen minutes without being crowded.

"This tunnel is so thin, it can only walk three people side by side, and it's ......" Gu Miqing stood on tiptoe and looked at it, unable to see his head: "This is in a crowded situation, how long does it take to walk through?"

Then, she turned her head to look at the civilians behind her rather worriedly, so many people were crowded into such a slender tunnel at once, I was afraid that it would be crowded for a long time.

"I've suffocated a lot of people in a tunnel. Can you imagine that people are suffocated and squeezed to death in it, just for five loaves of bread. As he walked, Scholk turned his head to look behind him, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.

In the midst of the crowd, he found Gesang, held in the arms of a young woman, squeezed at the front of the iron gate.

He hurriedly turned back, patted the government soldier on the shoulder, and then stretched out his finger and pointed at Gesang: "This is my interview subject, let's put it in first." Her parents and I were very good friends. ”

The people at the iron gate all looked at Gesang.

Xiao Gesang seemed to have washed her face, her black face was shiny, and in order to meet the activities in the auditorium, she also changed into clean clothes, but she didn't know how long she had been in line, and her hair was wet with sweat.

Bah!

She spat at Shore.

"My mom and dad are not friends with you! You dog haggy crumbs! I don't want to go with you! Go back to your country!" Gesang's voice still had a thick milk sound that only a child has, but it has a hatred that ordinary children don't have.

That hatred came from the heart and went into the bone marrow.

"Okay! Take our lives, sell your story, what friend?!"

"Well said!"

Xu is childish words, the people around him became restless, and they all raised their middle fingers towards Shore.
