Chapter III: Smuggling
At nine o'clock in the evening, our group set off. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info there are quite a few people who go to Kokang this time, there are eight of them, led by Deng Wubin, in addition to me, Hu Zi, Fang Haoyu, Luo Yinan, Lou Qiang and the two black men.
In the mouths of Deng Wubin and others, black men are called black slaves.
In addition to carrying knives and guns, Deng Wubin also packed the rifles in a long box, and Fang Haoyu prepared a separate bag containing the box of poison that could kill a thousand people. In addition, Deng Wubin prepared a large backpack with a flashlight, iron octaclaws and a small tube of insecticide, etc.
The eight of us drove two cars, walked more than ten kilometers at first, and finally hid the car in a forest, changed to walking, and rushed to a certain shore of the Salween River.
Of course, after getting out of the car, Luo Yinan and Lou Qiang wiped the car with a coarse cloth and sprayed a very irritating potion. I guess we want to eliminate our fingerprints, and I'm also afraid that we will pay attention to blood stains and saliva or something, so a soak in the potion can eliminate the possibility of residual DNA.
Along the way, I always sneak a glance at my phone and pay attention to the surrounding situation along the way.
I had a glimmer of hope in my heart that Hua Butterfly would send me a text message from a strange phone or put a few signs along the road to tell us that she was always with us.
But once the hope is disappointed, it really becomes a fantasy. I didn't find any clues along the way.
At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, as we walked to a shore, a light came from the river, and it was seen that the posture was from a powerful flashlight.
The light was very accurate, and it shone right on my eyes. I was so miserable that I was dazzled for a while.
I raised my arm to block the flashlight. His beard was more sensitive, and he leaned over to me and touched his waist.
Deng Wubin reminded him, let the beard not mess around, especially don't shoot. Actually, he misunderstood Beard, I guess Beard wanted to use a telescopic stick, otherwise with his marksmanship, it is estimated that even if an enemy stands motionless twenty meters away and lets him fight, he will not hurt anyone if he shoots all the bullets.
I also instructed the beard, which means to listen to Master Deng.
Luo Yinan was holding a flashlight at this time, he adjusted the intensity of the light, and shot it into the distance.
I found that the light of these two flashlights is not the same, the other party uses white light, and Luo Yinan uses yellow light, as if it has been discussed in advance.
The other party also immediately intermittently lit the flashlight twice, and Luo Yinan responded three times. After that, Luo Yinan said, "No problem! ”
Deng Wubin waved his hand and changed it to Luo Yinan to take the lead. Eight of us walked to the shore and waited.
Just after a cigarette, a small motorboat came in the distance. There were two people on the boat, and Luo Yinan took the time to talk to us, saying that one of these two was the owner of the ship, nicknamed the water mouse, and the other was a man.
After the dinghy got closer, I observed these two people, the guy was nothing, he looked silly, but the water mouse was shrewd, especially the two small eyes, staring at us all the time, he also had a mustache, which made him look even more obscene.
When the boat docked, the water rat stared at us and began to count, and finally he nodded his head, said eight people in very jerky Mandarin, and then stretched out his hand, which meant to give money first.
Luo Yinan touched his arms, took out a wad of money, and handed it over. I was secretly stunned when I saw it.
I understood that this was the fare for the eight of us, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive. I said in my heart that in this year, it is more expensive to take a plane?
But the water rat didn't think so, and while seriously counting the money, he said to us, "If this is not introduced by an acquaintance, I will definitely not take this job." ”
Fang Haoyu couldn't help but sneer, and Deng Wubin immediately glared at Fang Haoyu. I've been in contact with Fang Haoyu for so long, so of course I know what his smile represents.
But none of the gangsters had a seizure, and they silently boarded the boat one after another.
There were eight of us, Deng Wubin and Luo Yinan sat at the bow of the boat, the others were in the center, and I sat at the stern with Hu Zi.
The water rat said, let's enjoy the scenery along the road at will, and before dawn, the boat will go to the vicinity of North Wa State. And then he immediately added, "This is for a smooth journey, once we encounter the old Burmese army blocking the river halfway, it is still a question of whether we can survive." ”
Beard's face was very bad when he heard this, and I didn't think much about the so-called old Burmese army. Before I set off, I also studied the map of Myanmar, and I had the impression that Northern Wa State and Kokang State are two directions.
I looked at Luo Yinan.
Luo Yinan was lighting a cigarette and smoking. He also took the initiative to give the owner of the boat, and after lighting the fire for the other party, he patted the other party on the shoulder and said, "Mouse, we have changed our plans temporarily, we want to go to Kokang, you can just drive the boat to the Ruiguo Rainforest, find the closest place to Kokang, and put us down." ”
When the water rat originally took the cigarette, he also took out the appearance of calling Luo Yinan a brother and sister, but now his face sank. He turned his face faster than he could turn a book.
He shook his head vigorously and said, "It's dangerous to go to the Ruiguo Rainforest, and I'm doing a small business, so I can't take that risk." ”
The guy on the boat originally called the motor, and the dinghy walked up with a sneer. The rat beckoned to the man, which meant to send the eight of us back to shore.
The beard couldn't help but mutter, and asked me, "Does this mean that you can't go to be bold?" ”
I think that the water rat wants to take the opportunity to increase the price and get a sum of money from us.
Luo Yinan argued a few words with the water rat, saying that the journey to Ruiguo Rainforest was much shorter than the original plan, and what danger was there?
The water rat still shook his head vigorously. Fang Haoyu originally stopped silently, but suddenly, he sneered again.
He stood up. It was on the boat, and he didn't find his balance and swayed a few times. But it didn't make a difference, he finally walked up to the water mouse, stretched out his hand and said, "Dude, if you really don't want to go, it's okay, get the 10,000 yuan back, and we'll contact other smugglers." And on the Salween River, you're not the only one doing this business, right? ”
At the mention of money, the water rat suddenly deflated. His eyes rolled back and forth, and he probably didn't have a lot in his heart.
Fang Haoyu urged a few more words. The water rat was unrelenting, and quarreled with Fang Haoyu for a few words.
I guess the water rat doesn't know the background of our people, otherwise he would not have been able to fight with such a pervert like Fang Haoyu if he borrowed his courage.
In addition, the water rat quarreled and quarreled, but he only said how difficult it was for him, and he didn't mention the 10,000 yuan at all.
In the end, there was a lot of trouble, and the water rat really felt that he couldn't get any money out of our hands, so he compromised.
This dinghy was temporarily rerouted. And for this route, the water rats didn't pay much attention to it, and they also let us stowaways feel free to sleep.
I guess the Raygo Rainforest is a natural hazard, a barrier given by nature, so there is no need for the Burmese side to waste troops on this route.
Deng Wubin also emphasized to us that after entering the rainforest for a while, there will be a long journey, and it is absolutely necessary to rest more now and save up physical strength.
We all found a comfortable position and half-lay on the boat.
I had so many accomplices, and I was able to sleep comfortably.
I don't know how long it took for someone to pull me. When I opened my eyes, a big face was close to me, squinting and smiling at me.
I was startled, and a thummer sat up. And I was so fast I almost hit him.
When I look closely, it's a water rat. He was holding an old-fashioned military kettle and a stack of paper cups in his hand, and he didn't care what kind of mentality I was in now, and took the initiative to ask, "Brother, I have tea here, can I have a cup?" ”
I waved my hand to signal that I didn't need to, and looked around while I was free. Most of the others were asleep, but Luo Yinan and Fang Haoyu were awake.
Fang Haoyu had a quarrel with the water rat, and he also had a little bit of a bad deal, Fang Haoyu said again without a good face, "You can drive your boat well, what kind of tea do you get?" ”
The water rat glared at Fang Haoyu, saying that he was also kind and knew that we were going to Ruiguo Rainforest, but there were too many poisonous insects in it, and his tea was a secret recipe, adding several Chinese medicines to it, and after drinking it, it would change people's body odor and achieve the effect of repelling insects.
I heard the water rat talk so much, so I asked him to pour a cup.
The water rat answered, and said that it was provided for free, so I don't have to worry.
When I took the tea, I took a closer look, and there was indeed a strong medicinal smell in it. I suddenly remembered the herbal tea in the south.
He poured another cup for Fang Haoyu and Luo Yinan.
Luo Yinan was happy, drank it in one gulp, and then complained directly, saying that it really smelled of fucking urine, and it was suffocating when he drank it.
The water rat reminded, "Good medicine is bitter." He stared at us again, urging us.
But Fang Haoyu and I looked at each other, and we were not in a hurry to drink.
The rat wanted to wake everyone up and pour everyone a glass.
Fang Haoyu didn't even say no, and asked the water rat to leave the kettle, which meant that everyone would drink it after they woke up.
Coincidentally, the river suddenly broke out. We were just in a dinghy, and for a moment it was jolting.
The rat was afraid of capsizing, so he was so frightened that he left us and operated the boat with his buddies. The others were stimulated by the jolt and woke up one after another.
Fang Haoyu didn't mention the matter of drinking tea at all, and Deng Wubin's first reaction when he woke up was to look around and ask, "Where is it?" ”
The water rat was busy for a while, but he still interjected and said, "It's only more than half of the way, don't worry." ”
Luo Yinan has the opposite attitude, he is likely to have explored the road in advance, so he knows the current progress very well. He took the small binoculars, looked at it, and said, "No, it's coming soon." ”
He also pointed ahead and reminded everyone, "Do you see that bush?" Let's just get off the boat there. ”
Deng Wubin nodded. The water rat's face became extremely unsightly, and he explained, "The bushes are not easy to walk, there may be swamps in them, and it is not the closest place to Kokang. ”
My whole heart hung in the air when I heard it, especially the word swamp, which was very scary. But Deng Wubin and these people didn't listen to the words of the water rat at all.
Deng Wubin also gave an order to us people, and we were all ready to get off the boat!
The water rat also saw that Deng Wubin was the leader of the eight of us, and he persuaded Deng Wubin again, "Boss, I am also kind, let you go on another waterway." ”
Deng Wubin didn't talk much along the way, and he seemed very low-key, but now he smiled like Fang Haoyu, stared at the water rat and said, "Goodbye brother!" ”
This was said suddenly, and not only the water rat, but also the beard and I were stunned.
Then without waiting for the water rat to say anything, Deng Wubin said again, "Do it!" ”
