197 Helong City
Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin Province, Helong City.
Bai Tao, who had been bumpy on the road for more than ten hours, drove two SUVs and a sedan with Maoming and eight backbones, arrived in the downtown area of Helong City in the evening, and then settled in an ordinary hotel.
After arriving, everyone took a short rest, and then ordered some local specialties in the hotel restaurant, but Bai Tao had a bad appetite, so he simply ate two bites and drank hot tea all the time.
"Big brother, do we still have friends here?" The person who spoke was Tan Zheng, in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked very thoughtful. He used to follow Daqi, but after Daqi entered, he was taken care of by Maoming and stayed with the upper echelons of the Congress.
"Well, a little friend. Bai Tao replied casually.
"It's not close to North Korea, right?" Tan Zheng didn't know anything about geography, so he asked curiously.
"It's quite close, and further on, the nearest place is just a street away from North Korea. Maoming took a sip of juice, and then said: "This place is a fucking paradise on earth, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, as long as North Korea fights, the North Koreans will run to our side, the aborigines here are quite happy, at that time, a bag of rice can be exchanged for a daughter-in-law!"
"Damn, the people of other countries are so simple ......!" Tan Zheng was speechless for an instant.
"It's quite chaotic here, just two years ago, some North Korean deserters entered our border, and in a subordinate village of Helong City, they shot and killed four peasants for 100 yuan and a little pork, and all of them were old people! There is a serious food shortage over there, and the poor jingle ring, which is a typical case of little money and ruthlessness, and the locals call them North Korean defectors, and they are quite natural. Maoming also finished eating, casually introducing the local news and customs.
"Border defense doesn't care?" Tan Zheng couldn't accept it, others were more natural than himself, so he asked stupidly.
"One can manage, what can a group manage?" Maoming pouted.
"Then how did we meet friends here?" Tan Zheng looked at Bai Tao.
"When we were preparing the grain, something would happen as soon as we got in here. Later, Brother Tao was introduced and met a local eldest brother surnamed Shen. At that time, he was also poor and didn't have any work in his hands, but later the two of us cooperated, he directly collected our food, and we also gave him some discounts. He's okay with his work, he doesn't owe money, and he settles the money very happily, so he becomes a friend after coming and going. In the past two years, he has money in his hands, and the geographical location here is special, so he quickly became popular. Green Creek Villa has his shares, let's take the silver, he can take it without opening his mouth!" Maoming explained for Bai Tao.
"Damn, I like it here, and I guess Daqi can like it too. "Tan Zheng has an inexplicable liking for this place.
"Huh. Bai Tao looked at Tan Zheng and smiled, and then said, "Finish eating early, rest early." Lao Shen's place is still some distance from here, and it is estimated that he will come to pick him up early tomorrow!"
"We're going to knock, it's all right!" replied Maoming.
"Don't drink alcohol. Bai Tao instructed, and then took the lead back to the private room.
……
In the private room with average decoration and general furnishings, Bai Tao took a bath, then walked out of the bathroom with a yellowed bath towel, picked up his mobile phone and thought about it, and dialed Brother Shen's phone.
"Hey, it's here, Tao?" Brother Shen's voice quickly sounded.
"Well, it's time for Helong. Bai Tao nodded.
"Ming'er, Ming'er, I'll let people go over to pick you up, you rest first!" Brother Shen replied enthusiastically.
"Don't worry, are friends from Zhejiang here?" Bai Tao asked casually.
"Tomorrow is here. Brother Shen replied quickly.
"Let me tell you Lao Shen, I don't have a lot of things to do at home! Bai Tao frowned and took a preventive shot in advance.
"Oops, I have it. Don't worry, you'll be able to use it. ”
"Okay, then let's do it first!" After Bai Tao finished speaking, he hung up the phone first, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep.
……
Noon on the second day.
A Buick GL8 and a Honda Accord stopped at the door of the hotel, and then three people walked down from the car and walked into the hotel.
"Knock knock!"
The three of them went down the stairs to Bai Tao's room, and then knocked on the door.
"Squeak. ”
Maoming stretched out his hand to open the door, saw the three of them and smiled and asked, "Brother Shen's friend?"
"My surname is Cui, you can just call me Xiao Cui, hehe. Although Xiao Cui spoke Mandarin in his mouth, he listened to it very differently.
"Brother Tao is inside, come in. After shaking hands with him, Maoming leaned sideways and moved out of the way.
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiao Cui. Bai Tao turned around with a smile and nodded at Xiao Cui.
"Well, it's been more than a year. Xiao Cui grinned, and then shook hands with Bai Tao respectfully.
"What about Old Shen?" Bai Tao went straight to the point.
"He's in the factory in Nanping, playing with friends in Zhejiang, let me pick you up!" Xiao Cui replied.
"Zhejiang's friends have arrived?" Bai Tao was stunned, because when he talked to Lao Shen on the phone last night, he learned that the people from Zhejiang had not yet arrived in the autonomous prefecture.
"They got off the plane early this morning, and their friends in Yanji sent them directly. Brother Shen said that he would talk to these people first, so that you would have something to say in the past, hehe. Xiao Cui explained with a smile.
"Ahh Bai Tao looked at Xiao Cui, nodded after a pause for a few seconds, and then urged: "Then let's go." ”
"Okay, let's go. Xiao Cui nodded and led everyone out of the hotel.
"Hulala!"
A large group of people walked out of the hotel, Bai Tao still got into his car and sat with Maoming, while Tan Zheng walked side by side with Xiao Cui to the side of Buick GL8, opened his mouth and asked: "Dude, where are we going?" You give me the address, I will open Baidu Map directly, or there are many cars, it is easy to lose it!"
"Haha, the road here is not congested, you can just follow, there is no map of that place. Xiao Cui replied with a smile.
", Lingxiao Treasure Palace, it's not on the map yet?" Tan Zheng was speechless, and then nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys drive slowly, my driver is not familiar with this side." ”
"Yes. Xiao Cui nodded and opened the GL8 door directly.
"Huh!"
After Tan Zheng got a response, he just turned around and was about to leave, but his eyes suddenly saw a black hole in the barrel of a gun under the seat of the GL8 car.
Xiao Cui didn't pay attention, and he had to go up.
"Dude, you're a mess here. Tan Zheng pointed to the barrel of the gun and said to Xiao Cui.
Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, glanced down, and when he saw the barrel of the gun, he immediately said with a smile: "The control here is a little looser, in the countryside, guns are not difficult to see!"
"Ahh Tan Zheng nodded suspiciously, and then stepped into his car.
"Whoa!"
Xiao Cui pulled the door of the GL8, and then said to the driver: "Let's go, go to the Tumen River." ”
