The bearded man nodded again and again, smiled and went with him to have a full meal.

During the meal, the bearded man kept talking about how difficult it was for him to come here, and he also inadvertently told Nie Xiao about his identity as a war correspondent.

Nie Xiao looked surprised and looked at his beard again.

To be honest, he really didn't see it.

The bearded man patted his chest, seeing his surprise, and said proudly: "Don't you see it? There are many places I have run, and I have never seen anything in the rain of bullets." ”

Nie Xiao gave him a thumbs up and praised him twice.

The bearded man was triumphant, ate two mouthfuls of food excitedly, and began to talk endlessly about the events when he ran in the battlefield in those years, and the sky was getting darker, and the two wiped their mouths and got up and returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered, the bearded man closed the door tightly and dragged the table next to him against the door.

Seeing this, Nie Xiao looked confused and asked him what he was doing.

The bearded man said earnestly: "Look at you as a foreigner, there is a city around here, there is a city of Syria, there is a constant war, many fugitives have come here, although there is no chaos here, but it is still very dangerous at night, maybe someone will enter the house directly with a firearm." ”

Nie Xiao raised his eyebrows, his expression was stunned, and the doubts in his heart deepened: "Aren't you also a foreigner? How do you know so much?"

"Hey, actually, although I haven't been here, I've been there a few times, before the plane could be transferred to Gula, since Gula was destroyed, there is only this ghost place where you can get off the plane. ”

Nie Xiao sighed as if he didn't understand, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

"By the way, since you're a foreigner, what are you doing here? The bearded man abruptly changed the subject, walked to the edge of the bed, and sat down.

Nie Xiao came to the bedside, and through the half-covered window, he could see the city in the dark night, which was not as prosperous as Jianghua, and could only see a few speckled lights.

"I'm going to Syria to do something. ”

"Hey, you're going to Syasia too, and so am I. The bearded man exclaimed in surprise.

"Why don't we go together? ”

Nie Xiao refused without thinking about it, with a cold face, he closed the half-covered window and returned to his bed.

"Hey, don't be so outside, you helped me today, maybe I can help you tomorrow. ”

The bearded man said, bent down and grabbed Nie Xiao's arm, and continued: "And I know Xuya very well, I can help you avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble." ”

Nie Xiao lowered his eyes, looked pensive, and didn't reply to his words for a long time.

Seeing this, the bearded man became anxious, and began to brag about what he had experienced in Syria, such as mingling with the officers, going to dinner with the local boss, or something.

Nie Xiao didn't listen to a word, and when he said he was tired, he said lightly: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll ask you tomorrow." ”

The bearded man was overjoyed, and quickly stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Okay, then what's your name, my name is Kulau." ”

Nie Xiao glanced at him, also reached out to shake back with him, and reported his name.

After that, both of them lay down to rest and had a good night's sleep.

No, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house, and Nie Xiao and the others were woken up, and before they were fully awake, the knock on the door became heavier and heavier, almost taking a picture of the entire door panel.

Nie Xiao got up to open the door, but Kulau quickly ran from behind, grabbed his hand, and shook his head.

Nie Xiao glanced at him twice, took his hand back, and uncovered the cat's eye on the door panel, through which he could see a group of big men with their upper bodies and cigarettes in their mouths piled up at the door outside the door.

This group of people all have various tattoos on their upper bodies, and they have a fierce face, and they are not good at first glance.

Nie Xiao retracted his head and was hesitating to open the door, when Kurao grabbed his arm, shook his head, and whispered, "Don't worry about it, let's go to sleep." ”

Nie Xiao saw the fear on his face, put aside the idea of opening the door, and went back with him to continue sleeping.

But the people outside the door did not give up knocking on the door, the force was greater and stronger each time, and finally they kicked and smashed directly at the door, accompanied by bursts of scolding.

Nie Xiao only felt that his eardrums were trembling, and his sleepiness was completely dispersed by this deafening sound.

He tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, the noise outside the door still didn't stop, and over time, Nie Xiao really couldn't stand it, so he got up suddenly, and his eyes were gloomy against the crumbling door.

Kulau seemed to sense his thoughts, then got up and grabbed his arm, frowned and said: "Nie Xiao, you must be calm, those people are not easy to mess with, if this door is opened, we may not see the sun tomorrow." ”

Nie Xiao stared at him for a while, and finally pushed his person away unbearably, suddenly got up, and strode towards the door, Kulau couldn't catch it behind him.

The door opened suddenly, and the group of people outside the door suddenly stopped, staring at Nie Xiao with dozens of pairs of eyes.

This silence lasted only two seconds, and a swarthy man led by the other party raised his chin, kicked over the table at the door, and walked in with a high-sounding sound, his hands pressed into his trouser pockets, and he looked like he was dragging himself to the sky.

Nie Xiao stepped back step by step, and did not stop until the group of people had all poured into the room.

Kurau hid behind him, shivering.

"What are you doing? well, why are you deaf and telling you not to open the door for a long time?" the man yelled at the two of them.

Kulao's face turned pale with fright, and he clutched Nie Xiao's sleeve and asked him in a low voice what to do.

Nie Xiao's face was not shocked, he pushed him behind him, and then asked very calmly, "Is there something wrong?"

"Hehe, what's the matter, it's still the same, we're here to collect protection money, since you are in this territory, give me the money obediently and pay tribute to us." The man's attitude was rampant, and he also pushed Nie Xiao's shoulder twice.

Nie Xiao was unmoved, but he was thinking about how to deal with these people in this big place.

"Hey, do you hear me, are you deaf? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you?" Seeing that Nie Xiao didn't respond for a long time, the leader was immediately furious, and pushed Nie Xiao even more rampantly, yelling.

Nie Xiao was pushed back and staggered back a few steps before he stabilized his body, and when he raised his head, his gaze was as cold as a knife.

Kurao pulled him, looked frightened, and said in a low voice: "Nie Xiao, or we should give him the money, otherwise I'm afraid I'm really going to die here tonight." ”

Nie Xiao pressed down his hand, straightened up, and walked towards the leader.

The coldness and fearlessness in his eyes stunned the leader of the group, and he also took the opportunity to look at him, and the emotions in his eyes were ever-changing.

"I don't think you're like a refugee, right, if you can live here, what are your identities?"
