Ye Ming's guess was correct: this tour guide surnamed Ma, before he became a tour guide, was indeed a somewhat famous gangster leader in the county seat of N County, and later, according to his own words, he "changed evil from good and turned back to the prodigal son", and turned to the tour guide.

It's just that he, the "tour guide", is only attached to the travel company, and the tour guide card is also obtained through his buddies in the tourism bureau, so he doesn't have any knowledge of tourism in the first place, and belongs to the kind of "black tour guide" who leads the way xìng quality, usually, they generally don't come out to pick up the group, but if they encounter festivals, especially during the Golden Week, many travel agencies lack tour guides, so they take the opportunity to "go out of the mountain" and take the initiative to receive some tour groups from other places. Then they used their way to knock a stroke on those tourists, sometimes tens of thousands of yuan at a time, enough for him and his accomplices to be chic for a while.

And their trick to blackmail passengers is very simple: first, they give the passengers a dismount in the form of "bandit offspring", "street brother" and bright knives, and then, in the name of inviting passengers to participate in the so-called "self-pay project", they charge everyone an extra fee, sometimes, this fee is ridiculously high, but these tourists from other places are afraid of their yín power, and they are also afraid of being beaten and retaliated by them in the local area, so the vast majority of passengers will choose to listen to their arrangements in a reluctant voice. to participate in their so-called "self-funded projects" in order to spend money to eliminate disasters......

Ye Ming had seen similar reports of "black tour guides" on the Internet, but he always felt that the tour guides were also managed by tourism bureaus and tourism companies, and there were relevant systems and regulations, so they should not be as black as depicted on the Internet, and it was unlikely that there would be a phenomenon that threatened tourists.

So, he began to watch from the sidelines, watching how the tour guide, who claimed to be the "descendant of the bandits", acted out the next scene.

After the horse guide waved the knife twice, he put it into the hanging bag, and then raised the horn again and began to enter the main topic: "Friends: As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains depends on the water, our N County has places of interest, folk culture, and good mountains and rivers, but the economy has been underdeveloped, and our people have a very hard life, so they can only rely on the tourism resources left by God to earn two money to support their families. We take what we need, we provide services to you, and you create economic benefits for us, right? ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "We are tour guides and drivers, in fact, it is very hard, but no matter how hard we work, we must also serve everyone well, and provide you with more opportunities to experience our northwest folk customs and taste our northwest special sè deliciousness, right, so in addition to your scheduled journey, we have also added several very entertaining and meaningful self-pay projects for everyone, among them, there are eating roasted whole sheep, experiencing the cave life of the people in the northwest, There are items such as farmhouse special sè banquets.

"Frankly speaking, my driver brother and I have a commission for these projects, and everyone can sign up to participate in them, not only to experience the fun of these projects, but also to support my work and my brother's work, so I am here to express my gratitude to you and my brother first."

As he spoke, he bent down slightly to everyone, bowing to everyone and thanking everyone.

At this time, many people in the car knew that he bowed to everyone, it was "the weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he didn't have a good heart", and they ignored him, and after he bowed, the old man who answered his question suddenly asked: "Director Ma, you just say it directly: we participate in your self-funded projects, how much does it cost, there is no need to spend more saliva here, if the price is acceptable, we will go with you to see, if it is too expensive, then sorry, we have the right to refuse your unauthorized arrangement, I also have the right to sue you with the tourism regulatory authorities. ”

When the horse director heard the old man's last words, he rolled his eyelids and stared at him fiercely, but he didn't attack on the spot, but said: "We have a total of three self-funded projects, each project is two hundred yuan, a total of six hundred yuan per person, this price is not expensive, the price of six hundred yuan, you can eat roasted whole sheep, you can live in the cave on the loess slope, you can eat the special dishes of the northwest style in the farmhouse, how cost-effective, right." ”

As soon as some tourists heard him say that they would charge an extra 600 yuan per person, and that their tour fee this time was only 1,500 yuan per person, they couldn't help but change their faces, and many people began to shout, and some angrily scolded the word "bandit".

Although the horse director claimed to be a "descendant of bandits", when someone really scolded him for being a bandit, he was not happy, and suddenly turned his face and shouted violently: "Who was scolding me a bandit just now, stand up for me." ”

The old man who questioned the tour guide at the beginning may be a well-informed old cadre with a great sense of justice, and when he heard the horse guide ask who was scolding him, he replied: "It's me who is scolding you, what's the matter, you are so clear that you are robbing the money of tourists, not what a bandit is, besides, didn't you report yourself at the beginning, saying that you are the descendant of bandits, you yourself are proud to be the offspring of bandits, what do I say about you." ”

Director Ma was choked by a few words from this gray-haired old cadre, and he wanted to find a few words to refute, but he couldn't think of an appropriate sentence for a while.

So, he glared at the old cadre viciously and said, "Old thing, I'm too lazy to bother with you now, and I'll settle accounts with you when I finish collecting the money." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to the driver and shouted, "Old Black, stop the car, I'll charge first, if you don't pay, get out of the car for me now." ”

With this shout, the driver really stopped the tour bus.

Everyone looked out of the car window, only to see that this is in the canyon between two bare loess slopes, it is estimated that there are no people in a radius of more than ten miles, and there are relatively few vehicles on this highway......

Ye Ming had been coldly observing the black tour guide's acting, just when the old cadre-looking person refuted the horse guide, he originally wanted to stand up and scold him, but Chen Mengqi saw that the person was carrying a knife, and he was in this unfamiliar place, for fear that Ye Ming and the tour guide would fight, no matter who injured whom, it would be a very troublesome thing, so she grabbed Ye Ming's arm and prevented him from standing up and scolding the horse guide.
