003 Pass the level, pick up a conversation
What is a railcar? It is a kind of development in the first half of the 21st century, before the Third World War, combining the advantages of the subway, light rail, and train, and the specific riding method is similar to the cable car in the scenic spot, like the iron shell hanging on the Ferris wheel, there are many cars parked at the specified riding place, as long as you take out something that can prove your identity, you can pick one at random. I have to mention the price, not much cheaper than a taxi, not much cheaper than a taxi, because it is very important so it is repeated twice.
Before coming out of the ladybug-like iron shell, Su Yuan tore off the automatically printed invoice with trembling hands.
"3,000 kilometers, more than 40,000 yuan, my living expenses for two months, and my living expenses for two months ......"
"Huh? Su Yuan? What happened to you? ”
"Oh oh oh oh! It's okay. ”
Su Yuan hurriedly concealed his embarrassment, it was better for this simple girl to know later in such a worldly situation.
(Author's note: I wonder how many people still remember the setting in this book that the price level at the end of the 21st century is about 10 times what we are now?) )
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the carriage, they felt the heat rushing to their faces. Contrary to the dry wind in Beijing, the hot and humid air made Su Yuan feel suffocated for a moment, but the next moment a cool breeze hit, Su Yuan suddenly felt very refreshed, and couldn't help but sigh that it was worthy of being the south of Caiyun, a tourist resort, so that Su Yuan didn't want to go back when he came here and smelled the air here.
However, it needs to be reiterated that the two of them did not come here for tourism, nor did they go to Kunming, the provincial capital, but to the mouth of the small county on the most border in the south.
Surrounded by primeval forests and mountains, the small county estuary built by the water does not have many permanent residents, but it is now the military center of China and even the entire Greater Asia Union, and the China-North Vietnam Pass controlled by it is the most important passage to the Vietnamese People's Republic, one of the member countries of the Greater Asia Union, and also makes the small estuary county a somewhat special tourist attraction. The "geographical advantage" of proximity to Vietnam, the rigid demand of more than 100,000 young and strong unmarried men, and the traditions of this small county have created an incomparably developed tertiary industry in the small county. The local government also acquiesced in the occurrence of these things, but every few days every year, a symbolic sweep - after all, you can't let the girls who fled from Vietnam have no food, and you can't let the more than 100,000 soldiers and brothers have to use their hands to solve their physical needs, which is good for everyone.
Because the track ended in the middle of the small county, the place where Su Yuan and the others got off happened to be the most prosperous street in the small county. Along the way, Su Yuan saw countless exotic girls frowning at the men they were in love with, and finally they walked into a business place hand in hand. If there is no Elph, the "man" above may refer to Su Yuan.
"Su Yuan, there are so many people here, it's so lively~"
Su Yuan's facial muscles stiffened, and the speed at which he swung his legs unconsciously became a little faster.
"Don't look at it, have you remembered everything I taught you?"
Elph tilted her head and pressed her fingers against her chin.
"Well, that ......"
"Okay," Su Yuan said helplessly, "I'll repeat it one last time, when we pass the level for a while, we will be sandwiched in the middle of the crowd, don't look anywhere except in front of you, never look around, and try to keep your movements as natural as possible, just like when you usually do at school." Remember? ”
"Remembered !!"
Remember? Su Yuan didn't believe it, and he would definitely forget it after a while, Su Yuan had already had a similar experience with Elf many times, and he had long been used to it.
The small county is not big, and soon, a building that looks like a flyover, with the words "China Hekou Port" written on it, but much larger than the flyover, appeared in their field of vision. Every few dozen paces, a heavily armed soldier appeared on each side of the street. I heard that ten years ago there were more soldiers guarding the pass than there are now, because at that time the Viet independence guerrillas even planned an attack on the pass in jeeps loaded with bombs. Su Yuan and they take a one-way border crossing from China to Vietnam, and the inspection is much looser than the other direction, as long as you don't carry your luggage, you can not accept any inspection, which is also a symbol of China's commitment to assimilate the two countries.
After nearly an hour of waiting, Su Yuan still didn't find a chance. Elph hummed an unknown ballad boringly, but Su Yuan felt more and more nervous.
"It's finally here......"
Su Yuan's palms were full of sweat, and he saw a tour group coming on foot, as if they were going to catch a bus at the other end of the border. Su Yuan seized the opportunity and blended into the crowd, along with dozens of other tourists. The tourists acted as a meat shield to block their vision, allowing Su Yuan to walk safely under the pass.
"Listen, everyone, as I said before, those who have luggage must go there to be inspected, and they can only pass through after attaching security tags, and those who do not have luggage can pass directly......"
Taking advantage of the tour guide's shouting, Su Yuan hurriedly observed the surrounding terrain. At the same time, he quietly touched the "umbrella" pinned to his waist. Su Yuan had already disguised their identities in advance, bought a set of dirty clothes for Elph at the stall, and used cheap foundation and lipstick to put on a vulgar makeup. Although it seems a little contrived, covering up the beauty of Elph clear water out of hibiscus, but it is a must.
Sure enough, this "umbrella" is the biggest problem, Su Yuan secretly complained in his heart, he used the same way to disguise Elph's family heirloom "Elven Staff" as an umbrella, but its size Su Yuan still can't hide after all, who has ever seen an umbrella that grows a lot longer than a human leg?
"I'm sorry, sir."
The male voice from behind made Su Yuan's heart stop beating for a moment, and then he felt something touch his waist, once, twice.
"Any questions?"
"Oh, nothing." The officer dressed in white replied with a professional, apologetic smile, "We suspect that your belongings may be hiding a firearm, and we ask for your forgiveness." ”
The official made a "please" gesture, and Su Yuan knew that they were safe.
After following the tour group through the pass, Su Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief. The staff is a prohibited item alongside CAD, guns, and addictive drugs, and if Su Yuan is found out, they will be finished. Fortunately, the officials who checked them just now were inexperienced, after all, there were few people who used staves these days.
"It's all over, we're safe."
Su Yuan touched the head of Elph, who was frightened.
"Here, yes, is it Vietnam?"
"Hey, to be precise, it's the People's Republic of Vietnam."
A man wearing a hat suddenly interjected into the conversation between the two. Su Yuan glanced at the man with some embarrassment, half-bald, round head, mustache, pointed chin, and a pair of mouse-like smart eyes, which looked exactly the same as the appearance of traitors and traitors in the dog-blood TV series.
"Little brother, I see that you just arrived in this place, and you are not familiar with the place, why don't you make a friend? Dude, even though he can't use it for big things, can he be a guide for you, right? ”
"Excuse me."
Su Yuan flicked his sleeves and was about to leave with Elph, such a person didn't know how many passers-by had said the same thing, so there was no need to entangle with them.
"Oops, hey, hey! Dude, I'm also kind, how can this be? ”
"Say it."
Su Yuan spread his hands, and he didn't bother to listen to his explanation, he hurried away early when he was done.
"Hey......
The man wearing the hat showed a smile that wanted to be close to Su Yuantao, but this smile was no different from a treacherous smile in Su Yuan's eyes.
"Dude, you also know that this piece is not very peaceful, the east is the territory of the Vietnam independence organization, and the west is the Vietnam Restoration, what's coming, yes, the world of the restoration movement. Dude, it's dangerous! ”
Su Yuan pursed his lips, dangerous? What danger can there be to him, but a thousand people carrying guns are not enough for Su Yuan to fight, and now Su Yuan has this confidence.
“…… Nabs? ”
Seeing that Su Yuan didn't respond for a long time, the man wearing the hat asked tentatively.
"Show me what you're capable of."
Su Yuan already understood this man's intentions, and he wanted to encourage Su Yuan to accept their services. If that's all there is to it, it's not impossible to consider.
"yes, what do you mean by that? It's good to talk to smart people! ”
The man with the hat laughed heartily, and then whistled to a boy who was obviously much younger than Su Yuan and the others.
"Son, bring the two distinguished guests over!"
"Oh."
The boy stomped his foot in a slightly annoyed manner, motioning for the two to hurry up.
"Elph, keep up."
Su Yuan whispered in the girl's ear, and the girl nodded.
What awaits them on the road? Su Yuan didn't know.
All he knew was that everything was starting to get interesting.
