Part 3: The Rise of Africa Section 23 The Life of Monks and Taoists

Lei Dong looked at the simple and unlooked tin house, and said, "The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light, I am the underworld with a group of brothers to beg for a living, but I am using him to build a new life, and the helpless reality persecutes us." ”

The fat man nodded and said, "What do you say is wrong with this society, those who have money and things to do are busy transferring their family property to their wives and children, those who have money and nothing to do are caring about animals, those who have nothing to do are busy supporting their families, and those who have nothing to do are doing what are they doing?" ”

"I know this, my brother has just studied it." The leopard continued under the suspicious and distrustful eyes of everyone, "Those who have no money and nothing to do can be divided into the following categories, living in a civilized society at home and avoiding the sun to watch women on the Internet, living in a semi-civilized society staying at the foot of the wall and basking in the sun and thinking about women, living in a barbaric environment accompanied by a dry woman. ”

Zhang Nanjiang sighed and said, "It's still the last one, carefree, brother, where is this?" ”

The fat man smiled, "There are Momoshaner tribes, you talk to Dibbins." ”

"His mind is rotten, and he is like a dried corpse in the desert, and I refuse to talk to him about such a noble topic as life." Dibbins said solemnly.

Everyone laughed, and Zhang Nanjiang's face turned red.

Mangla Star's face also turned a little red, and she was very disturbed by the compliment from Mali's Minister of Information and Political Axe spokesman, Mount Dembeye, and said with a light smile, "Mr. Minister is too complimentary, my French colleagues are what I admire, and my photographer is French." ”

Two French radio journalists were killed last month after being kidnapped by armed men in the key town of Kidal in northern Mali, reportedly having just finished interviewing local tribal leaders. French media reported that after the journalist was kidnapped, France sent a helicopter to track the armed men's vehicle, and the bodies of the two men were later found on a road outside the town leading to the Tinasak district, 12 kilometers from the town of Kidal, with bullet holes.

"It is shocking that religious extremist fighters have kidnapped and killed them, and our political axe and people are extremely sad and indignant. ”

Mangla-Starr understands that these extremist groups often kidnap Westerners, especially the French, for ransom to finance terrorist activities, and according to data provided by the U.S. Strategic Forecasting Corporation, Guardians Islam operating in the region has kidnapped foreigners 18 times in the past 10 years, demanding at least $100 million in ransoms. "We, fellow journalists, unanimously condemn this abominable act. ”

Minister Mount kindly reminded that "Miss Manla should also be aware of her own safety, as it is still risky to go deep into the north in the current situation." ”

"For security, the company has equipped us with world-class security forces, supposedly hired by elite elites who have carried out special operations missions in Burma. She noticed that Mr. Minister had been secretly looking at the bodyguards on the periphery.

"Strong like a lion, these people are elites like the French Foreign Legion, and it seems that your company takes Miss Manla's safety very seriously." Minister Mount asked tentatively, "What is the focus of Miss Manla's interview next?" Our ministry can help. ”

"I'm going to Mauritania, some time ago our poor base commander, Colonel John, went missing in the middle of his mission, and we're going to go over and do an interview." Manla Starr wanted to do an interview with Colonel John imprisoned in the oasis, and last night Lei Dong finally agreed, and let her have lunch alone with the Minister of Information, she didn't want to take the opportunity to escape, but Lei Dong's words moved him, you want to be William. Russell, Edward. Someone like Murrow? Do you want to win this year's Pulitzer Prize? Then grab your microphone and follow in my footsteps. In fact, Yaya KonΓ© came to her that night and said a few words to her, saying that she had a habit of lying and an occupational disease that had been deeply rooted in her bones, and she didn't believe that she could come back, but the master's insistence made Manla Star's trip, hoping that she would not disappoint the master, and this sentence reminded Manla that reporters did not abide by the agreement.

Minister Mount looked at Manla a little distracted, although it was rude, but he guessed that the troublesome American journalist was thinking about work, and remembering that she was going to Mauritania to report on the missing Colonel John, the commander of the US military base, his mood changed for the better, and the Mauritanian bureaucrats were relieved. "Cheers to the title of our uncrowned king." Minister Mount raised his glass enthusiastically.

Mangla Stara raised a glass and the luncheon ended perfectly in a friendly atmosphere.

Half a month later, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, in the office of the CNN headquarters building, Arthur, the head of CNN International Channel, shouted to his subordinates, "Contact the domestic edition immediately, the people of the concise news channel, this Manla Starr is unstoppable, ask for a salary increase and her film contract and script, block her personal contact method to the outside world, and do it immediately." ”

After a while, the head of the domestic edition, the concise news channel, arrived, and Arthur introduced, "Manla Star, our special correspondent for the International Channel, who interviewed the local slavery phenomenon in Africa, and now she sent a series of reports from Mali, you can read it first, and then we will talk about it." "The implication is that the reporter is mine, and the film is also mine, so I want to quote the price.

In the first episode, the young Manla Star, who has just arrived in Africa, introduces some of the local indigenous customs, and as the camera continues to extend, they enter a little-known oasis deep in the desert, at this time, the camera turns, due to the self-righteous animal protection of the British journalist Jerry Pike with the same surname, they are kidnapped by the local tribe, the British reporter Jerry Peck and the driver and guide Buyka are savagely roasted and eaten, and Manla Starr and his companion French photographer Henri Bresson are transported to the bazaar for auction. In fact, the front shots are all real scenes, and the back shots are all reshots, which makes Wizard Dicbins spend a lot of thought and eggs. (Why use eggs, no eggs are taken for nothing, no brain.) οΌ‰

In the second episode, at the auction site, the mysterious religious leader Mr. Lei Dong passes by, and for a moment the sky is thundered, and the beautiful and charming Manla Starr rescues the handsome and dashing prince by stepping on a large wild boar.

In the third episode, the mysterious primitive religion of the Golden Crow Religion goes out of their gathering place and into the African continent and into the world.

In the fourth episode, Colonel John, the commander of the US West African base, who kidnapped the terrorist organization, and his partner Ensign Mafidin appear in the camera, after Manla Star's continuous pleading, the religious leader Mr. Lei Dong came forward to exchange for Colonel John and Ensign John at an extremely expensive price, and the process was thrilling and tortuous, making people fully feel the charm of the surname, which highlights Manla Star's concern for his compatriots and his dedication to rescuing them safely.

In the fifth episode, Colonel John and his partner, Second Lieutenant Mafidin, recount their adventures over the course of 113 days, including missile attacks on terrorists, captivity, and finally meeting their compatriots.

The person in charge of the domestic version said, "I want three, four, five and three episodes, and the fifth episode will be changed to a series in post-production, and the hero will return." ”

The person from the concise news channel said, "We all want it, but which part of your international station should be the focus, we must have the same time, and if we want to cause a sensation, we must broadcast exclusively on multiple channels." ”

"A week of production time, five days after the broadcast of the report, Colonel John and his partner Second Lieutenant Mafidin returned home, we had a live exclusive at the airport, and the colonel had agreed to Manla Star's request, as long as the Pentagon did not intervene, the next month, the front page will be our CNN territory." Arthur has the courage to say such things, the American people have always worshiped heroes, and do not think that being captured is a shameful act, as long as they do not commit treason or betray the country, the soldiers who fight for the country are their heroes, not to mention that Colonel John and Ensign Mafedin are people who escaped under the clutches of terrorist organizations, so they naturally should be cheered, for their bravery and fearlessness, for their dedication to the motherland.

Zhang San's internship is finally over, today he finally arrived in Bamako, as the leader of the first batch of outstanding students of the Golden Crow Sect, tomorrow is the opening of the new Golden Crow Church in Bamako, as the regional bishop, he will kneel in front of the Golden Crow Pope Lei Dong to accept his baptism, and now in the new church, the former Catholic Colonel John and Second Lieutenant Mafidin are kneeling in front of him, tomorrow they will leave for China, today is the last time to say goodbye to their spiritual mentor Bishop Zhang San.

Zhang San sprinkled the holy water in the cup on their heads with a delicate willow branch, and said in a low voice after reciting a few words of teaching, "My children, no matter where you are, what kind of occupation you are engaged in, whether you are rich or poor, whether you are noble or humble, the great God will be with you, do not be confused, the darkness of the moment cannot block the light, when you feel confused and painful, recite our teachings." Thunder and strength', your heart will become as wide as the sky, and God's love for you will be as much as the sand in the desert, go and accept the glory you deserve, this is the task God has given you, and it is also your glory. ”

In the dark room, the fat man said to Lei Dong, "This Zhang San can really fool, he used to be a street fortune teller, you look at the current set of sets." ”

The leopard muttered on the side, "I used to want to kill these two Yankees, or talk to the Pentagon about the ransom, I will be energetic when I think about it, but Lei Shao doesn't do it, as soon as Zhang San this kid comes, he chats with them all day long, and now they are all in the church, Lei Shao, don't you want to open a branch of the Jinwu Sect in the United States, right?" ”

"Who does the two of them belong to, the two of you decide for yourself, such a high-level intelligence officer does the work of a monk and a Taoist, and he is not afraid of big and small talents?" Lei Dong said, as soon as he finished speaking, the fat man and the leopard looked at each other. (To be continued.) )
