"Hello, do you speak English, I'm lost, can you tell me where this is?" Hou Rui spread his hands, tried to squeeze out a kind smile, and said loudly in English. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info As a response to Hou Rui, a stranger who suddenly appeared, the group of children ran away without a trace, pointing to Hou Rui standing in awkwardness.

A few minutes later, when Hou Rui tried to enter the village, every household in the village had closed their doors and windows, and countless frightened eyes were looking at Hou Rui, a strange foreigner, through the cracks in the door.

"Hello, does anyone speak English?" asked Hou Rui aloud as he stood in a small clearing in the middle of the village, turning his body and taking a closer look around as he shouted. It is a very small village, with only about 30 low-rise adobe huts, and it is estimated that 100 people can survive the death of the village, and judging by the fact that they are busy hiding, there should be no armed men.

"......" Sure enough, there was a quiet area all around, and no one answered Hou Rui's question.

"I'm an American journalist, I'm lost, I need help?" Hou Rui used his identity as a reporter as a pretense.

After a long time, when Hou Rui was impatient and was about to leave the village, the door of a small round mud house on the left finally opened quietly, and a local woman wearing a headscarf walked out hesitantly and tremblingly.

When Hou Rui saw this woman in her 20s with a hesitant face, her steps dragged even more when she arrived home, as if she was ready to turn around and flee back to the house at any time, the impatient Hou Rui could only shout first: "Hello! I don't have a weapon, I won't hurt anyone, I need help." ”

"You, are you an American?" the woman stood 10 meters away from Hou Ruizu and stopped, and began to ask questions from a distance.

"Yes, I'm an American, an American journalist. ”

"You're not a member of the Alliance, are you?"

"No, no, no, you don't look like me, do you?"

"What's your name and what help do you need? We all hope you can leave our village as soon as possible. ”

"My name is Douglas, I'm lost, I need to know where this is, and I need a phone if possible. ”

"We don't have a phone, this is the village of Sig, I can give you some food, but you have to leave the village immediately. ”

"Why? What are you afraid of?"

"We don't want to get in trouble, if the Coalition knows that we're helping the Americans, they're going to come here, kill us, and burn down the village of Sig. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Hou Rui finally decided to eat something and leave this village, the reason is that instead of spending time here, it is better to hurry up and continue to walk south, according to common sense, the closer you are to the core control area of the alliance, the greater the chance of encountering high-level figures in the alliance, so it will be more helpful for you to find General Garcia!

"Okay, give me something to eat and I'll leave right away, you just need to point me in the direction and the route. Hou Rui agreed to the woman's small deal, and the talents of the whole village gradually came out of their homes, and they stood in a circle outside and children stood in a circle inside, collectively watching Hou Rui, a yellow-skinned foreigner who is rare in a thousand years.

After the woman wearing the turban brought Hou Rui a bowl of corn paste and a cup of milk from an unknown animal, Hou Rui sat down and ate unceremoniously. The whole village gradually dispersed, and everyone began to interrupt their daily work again, leaving only the woman and her son hiding behind her, or staring at Hou Rui to eat.

"Who did you learn English from, you speak it very well!" Anyway, being idle is idle, Hou Rui began to collect information in the form of small talk, and it definitely doesn't hurt to know more about this closed area controlled by the Libertadores.

"I used to learn from foreign missionaries in the nearby town, and they treated my son. The woman replied.

"Are all the missionaries withdrawn now?"

"No, they were all burned to death by the Union people, right in the town square. The people of the alliance are devils. ”

"......" accidentally asked a bad question, and then Hou Rui could only choose to change the angle of the question, he began to look at the little boy behind the woman and asked, "Little guy, can you understand me?"

The little boy nodded with his mother's encouragement.

"And what's your name, little one?"

"Little ...... Baby camels. It may be that he is not used to speaking English, so it took a while for the little boy to suddenly say this.

"Hello little camel, my name is Douglas. Please drink this. Saying that, Hou Rui had already taken out a can of Coke, opened it directly and stuffed it into the little boy's hand.

The little boy who was a little dumbfounded looked at his mother, then at Hou Rui, and then plucked up his courage and tentatively licked the brown unknown liquid with his tongue, but within a second the little camel's taste buds were conquered, he first took a shallow sip, but then his eyes lit up, and he refused to let go while holding the can.

Hou Rui looked at the little boy with a smile, reached out and rubbed it dotingly on his head, and then picked up the bowl of corn paste again, pulling the last bit of the bottom of the bowl into his stomach.

According to the agreement between Hou Rui and the woman, Hou Rui had to leave the village immediately after eating, in order to send Hou Rui away as soon as possible, the uninvited guest, as soon as the woman saw Hou Rui put down the wooden bowl, she immediately found a wooden stick, and drew it on the ground, marking the locations of several towns and villages near the village, which was regarded as giving Hou Rui first-hand intelligence information.

However, when Hou Rui listened to the woman's explanation and was about to continue south, a panicked man suddenly rushed out of the woods next to the village.

As soon as the panicked man appeared in everyone's sight, he fell hard, this person didn't have time to get up, he just lay on the ground and shouted something, and then Hou Rui saw that the whole village was in chaos, and the trend of people turning over and hiding around was far more panicked and chaotic than when Hou Rui appeared, not to mention anything else, even the mother and son who were standing next to Hou Rui to monitor were shocked and turned their heads and ran.

"What's wrong?What's wrong?What are you running?" Hou Rui, who couldn't understand Somali, had no other choice, so he had to grab the panicked woman and ask.

"Let go of me, Alliance, the Alliance is coming. After saying that, the woman had already played with her arms, and after vigorously shaking off Hou Rui, she ran back home with the little camel in her arms and closed the door tightly.

"Click, click, click, click......" Hou Rui's ears sounded the sound of a door closing, and the sound of pressing a heavy object against the door of the dead room, in the blink of an eye, including the man who had just fallen, the entire Sig Village was empty, and all the residents hid.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hou Rui did not dare to stay longer, he ran in the opposite direction of the man's appearance, and after a few steps into the woods, he found a tree with a bowl mouth and climbed up, and in just ten seconds, he hid in the dense canopy. The location chosen by Hou Rui is very good, which not only ensures privacy and security, but also ensures an open line of sight, from which he can clearly see the situation of the entire village.

Before the leaves shook in front of Hou Rui's eyes, two dilapidated pickup trucks had already led a large group of foot infantry into the village, and after a crowd of people were shouting on their backs, these coalition soldiers with AKs began to smash doors from house to house, dragging all the people in the village out, forcing them to concentrate in a small clearing.

Ten minutes later, 7-80 men, women, and children from the whole village, who were unable to resist, were gathered together, and about 12-3 soldiers of the alliance surrounded them with guns.

Next, Hou Rui, who was hiding in the tree, watched as the Alliance soldiers dragged the 8-12-year-old children and their parents out of the crowd, and let them stand together and isolate themselves from the crowd in groups, and then a leader of the League soldiers wearing a baseball cap jumped off the pickup.

This League officer, who looked to be in his 20s, was stout, and the baseball cap on his head was bright red, and he was dressed as a hippie, and the military uniform shirt with the sleeves torn off was not only open, but the placket on both sides was full of badges, badges and other small things.

The officer wore a pair of huge sunglasses on his face, and a large mess hung around his neck, and there were six or seven necklaces alone, and necklaces of different colors and styles were mixed together, not only did they not have the slightest taste at all, but they were even a little ridiculous. But it was this funny-looking fellow, and as soon as he appeared, the chosen parents hugged the child in their arms, and both of them showed the same desperate expressions.

“!#%%& amp; amp;*^^......" As usual, there was a long list of unintelligible Somali words, but then Hou Rui saw that the alliance soldiers around him seemed to be inspired, and they all screamed and shot into the sky, and one of the muzzles of the gun almost shot Hou Rui off the tree.

After a while, the comical leader of the alliance asked the soldier to pull a family in front of him first, and then the leader pulled him over, hugged the son of the family tightly, and forced a 38 pistol into the hand of the boy who looked to be 10 years old, and then the funny leader walked towards his parents with the boy in his arms.

On the other hand, forced by the Union soldiers, the boy's parents were forced to kneel in front of their son, and then the funny leader took the child by the hand and pressed the fulcrum 38 against the father's chest.
