On the first night in the Golden Triangle, it was very calm, while Qin Shi was busy learning Thai.

Anne was pestered until midnight, she couldn't bear it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

And Qin Shi was quickly digesting what Annie taught him, and he didn't stop until dawn.

After all, Qin Shi was a cultivator, and it was only a trivial matter for him to remember it, because of cultivation, it was easier for him to understand and accept new knowledge.

Therefore, in just one night, Qin Shi has basically mastered the Thai language.

Although I can't be considered proficient, I can roughly understand and communicate with each other. And this is exactly what Qin Shi needs at the moment.

When Anne woke up, she found that Qin Shi was still muttering quietly, and couldn't help but say, "You won't have slept all the time last night, right?" ”

"Yes." Qin Shi didn't hide it, and blurted out a Thai sentence.

Although the pronunciation was a little awkward, Anne could understand it, and a trace of surprise flashed on her face: "You have been learning Thai all night last night?" ”

"Well, I'm going to stay here for the rest of the time, and I have to master the language as soon as possible. Otherwise, wouldn't I be able to move an inch? "Qin Shi still speaks in Thai.

This made Anne have to be shocked, and her face was full of incredulity.

Subsequently, Anne had a few more conversations with Qin Shi, but Qin Shi was able to reply naturally.

"Qin Shi, you really haven't learned Thai before? Did you really master a language in just one night? Anne asked with a dull face.

Qin Shi nodded: "Sort of, I said a long time ago, I can." ”

"I really can't see that you have well-developed limbs and such a flexible mind, it's really not wise to go against you." Anne sighed, obviously a little confused by what had happened before.

Qin Shi smiled: "Now that you are my ally, you don't have to worry, unless, you still want to go against me." ”

"Of course not." Anne hurriedly said.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden quarrel outside the cabin.

And Qin Shi heard that one of the voices was Ah Lang, but the other voice was very unfamiliar.

"It seems that something is going on outside, let's go out and have a look." Qin Shi said suddenly.

Anne nodded, then opened the door and walked out.

At this time, a group of people gathered at the door of the wooden house, all of them were Ah Lang's brothers and sisters, Qin Shi stepped forward to separate the people and then looked outside.

Suddenly, he saw a man in a camouflage military uniform pointing a gun at Ah Lang, with a fierce face.

Behind the man in military uniform, there were several other people, all with rifles in their hands, with sneers on their faces.

The man in military uniform kicked Ah Lang to the ground and said viciously: "Ah Lang, you haven't paid your taxes this month, you are too derelict as the village chief, are you looking for death?" ”

"Sir, it's not that we don't pay, it's really that this month's harvest is not good." Although Ah Lang was beaten, he didn't dare to resist at all, just desperately explained.

"Humph! This is not a reason, we give you food every month, and you have to pay tribute on time, which is a matter of course. As for the bad harvest, that's your business, and it's none of our business. The man in military uniform said coldly.

Ah Lang's face was full of grievances, but he still nodded again and again: "The chief is right, I also understand this truth." It's just that we can't get so many goods now, and I hope that the chief can open up the net and give us a period of leniency. ”

"Grace?" The man in military uniform raised his eyebrows: "You also asked me to give you a period of grace the day before yesterday, and today we came over, and you actually want us to give you time, are you playing with us?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Ah Lang lowered his head.

At this time, the onlookers on the side couldn't help but come up and said, "Sir, don't embarrass Ah Lang." We will pay back what we owe you, and I beg you to give us a few more days. ”

"Do you want to rebel?"

Seeing so many people pouring out at once, the man in military uniform turned pale, and kicked one person hard: "I'm doing something, and it's not your turn to take care of it." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates: "Call me, don't teach them a lesson, they really think we are so foolish." ”

Suddenly, a group of men in military uniforms punched and kicked the people in the village, and shot mercilessly.

Several people were beaten to the head and bleeding, and some were even knocked unconscious.

Seeing this, Qin Shi secretly frowned, a trace of anger flashed on his face, and he was about to step forward with a fist in his hand.

However, sensing his movements, Anne immediately grabbed his arm and whispered, "Don't cause trouble. ”

At the same time, Ah Lang's wife also shook her head: "Qin Shi, this matter has nothing to do with you, you can take your girlfriend back to the house." ”

"Eldest sister, these people deceive people too much, why do they treat you like this?" Qin Shi didn't move, he lived here and felt good about Ah Lang's family.

Now that Ah Lang is being bullied, how can he stand by and watch.

However, Anne said, "Qin Shi, you don't know the situation here, things here are more complicated than you think. I know you're good enough to deal with these guys, but even if you beat them off now, it's useless. ”

"Is it just looking at it, when nothing happens?" Qin Shi said with a cold face.

"Qin Shi, I didn't mean that. I'll tell you the truth, if you don't interfere now, Ah Lang and the others will be severely beaten at most, but if you interfere, you will really anger those soldiers, and then the army will come over, and they will pursue it, and at that time, Ah Lang Ke's life will be lost. ”

Anne's face was serious, and she was obviously no stranger to this kind of thing.

Hearing this, Qin Shi was also shocked. He really wanted to help Ah Lang, but if this would hurt Ah Lang, it would not be good.

However, Qin Shi said again: "Even if they send troops over, it's a big deal that even their army will be brought together." ”

"Qin Shi, you've just come here, don't forget the purpose of your coming here. You still have to go to Qu Wei, you can't stay here for a long time, you can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them for a lifetime, once you leave, these people will really suffer. Anne said lightly: "I can guarantee that if you stand up now, these people will not only not be grateful to you, but will hate you." ”

After some persuasion, Qin Shi gradually calmed down.

At this time, the man in military uniform waved his hand to stop his subordinates, and then said: "Ah Lang, I will give you another day, and if you don't hand over the goods again tomorrow, don't blame me for being unkind to you at that time." ”

With that, the men swaggered away.

At this time, Ah Lang's brothers dared to go up and help him up.

Ah Lang waved his hand and said to everyone: "Let's go back, let's find a way, and deliver all the goods tomorrow." Otherwise, this group of people will really move the knife. ”

"We understand, let's go back and figure it out." When they had finished speaking, they all dispersed.

Ah Lang limped back to the wooden house, and found that Qin Shi and Anne were also there, and immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't scare you, did you?" ”

"Not really." Qin Shi shook his head, how could this thing scare Qin Shi, if he hadn't been stopped by Annie, he would have rushed up to destroy those soldiers just now.

And Qin Shi's stiff Thai language at this time made Ah Lang and the others look at it in surprise.

Because Qin Shi didn't speak last night, they thought that Qin Shi didn't understand their language.

Qin Shi didn't explain, and then asked, "Brother Ah Lang, what the hell was going on just now?" Who are those, why are they beating you, and what is the matter with what tribute? ”

At this time, Qin Shi did have a lot of doubts in his heart.

A series of questions made Ah Lang a little unable to react for a while.

However, Ah Lang didn't plan to talk to Qin Shi in detail, but said: "Qin Shi, Annie, you two are not from here, so don't ask about some things." I think you'd better get out of here as soon as possible. ”

"Isn't Brother Ah Lang welcoming us?"

"I didn't mean that, but you also saw it just now, those people are not easy to mess with, if they find out about you, won't it hurt you?" Ah Lang said bitterly.

Actually, Qin Shi also knew Ah Lang's kindness.

It's just that today he has seen this kind of thing. If he was allowed to leave it alone and leave, leaving Ah Lang to continue to be bullied by that group of people, he would not be able to do it.

Therefore, Qin Shi shook his head and said, "Brother Ah Lang is a good person, even if I have to leave, you can tell me some things, I promise that I won't mess around." ”

"Well, what do you want to know?" Ah Lang said helplessly.

"What's the reason for those who just hit you?" Qin Shi asked.

Ah Lang no longer concealed it, and said: "Those people are from the army, and I don't know exactly where they come from. And our village is within their rule, so we will do whatever they want us to do, and if we don't obey, they will kill. ”

As he spoke, Ah Lang said, "This is not a joke, I have seen them shoot and kill several people in our village. ”

"Doesn't anyone care about such a casual killing?"

"This is the Golden Triangle, not anywhere else. The management here is quite lax, whoever has a gun and someone is the boss here, and everyone else has to listen to them. ”

Qin Shi frowned: "Why did they beat you just now?" ”

"Here's the thing, every month they buy food from outside and come to us, and then let us help grow other things in exchange." Ah Lang said.

"What did he tell you to plant?" Qin Shi asked.

Ah Lang smiled bitterly and said, "What else can it be, of course it's a poppy." Didn't you notice it when you came? The surrounding fields are full of poppy trees. ”

"Poppy? I think I've heard of this stuff. Qin Shi said in a low voice.

And Anne next to her explained: "Poppies are actually marijuana, and these are all drugs in your China. ”

Hearing this, Qin Shi's face sank, and he said angrily: "It's so hateful, I don't know how many people have been harmed by drugs." This kind of thing shouldn't exist in the world, and I'm going to destroy these poppy trees. ”
