Chapter 279: The Land of War
Chapter 279: The Land of War
At dawn, before the sun had risen, Lan Die had already packed her bags and was ready to go. As a photographer, Shen Ming carried equipment that could even fit anti-tank rocket launchers. At first, Lan Die was worried that Shen Ming would not be able to carry it alone, but she was relieved when she found that he could easily carry the equipment weighing 100 catties on one shoulder, and he was not panting and blushing.
There is still an advantage in daring to love a little newcomer, that is, the strength of a shoulder, and there should be no problem when you use a horse, right?
The two of them set off from the big pants and came directly to the airport, where they will take a domestic airline to Lincang, the nearest to Wokang, and then take a car to the Blue Umbrella Town, and enter the territory of Aukang from the border gate connected by the road.
Because of the rise of the border crossing gambling industry in recent years, this seemingly unpopular transportation line has long been slowly developed, and even the mountain roads that pass through it are asphalted, and there is no bumpy feeling of side congestion.
Shen Ming and Lan Die set off at 6 o'clock in the morning, and in just 5 hours, they were already standing in Blue Umbrella Town, which was the most important treaty port south of the Celestial Empire.
However, since the war, the face of the town has also undergone earth-shaking changes, the traffic on the streets is no longer caravans consignment, but carrying soft refugees, many refugees come too late, and they can't even find a floor to rest in the exhibition center, so they can only live on the streets, living a life of begging. Refugees with a little more money can also rent a prefabricated house in this town to shelter their families from the wind and rain, but the rent is also rising, close to the price of second-tier cities in China, and the rent method is to learn from the hotel, with worship as a unit, and there will be a stepwise price increase every week.
The basic livelihood substances such as drinking water, instant noodles and even shampoo in the town have also increased, but under local suppression, it has not reached the point of forcing people to die, in order to stabilize prices, a large amount of food and daily necessities are transported every day, and the Celestial Empire has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources to pacify the refugees and maintain the relative tranquility of the local area.
However, it is difficult to find true happiness in the faces of those who also have yellow skin and black hair. The vast majority of them were old and weak, women and children, and the able-bodied men of the family did not flee with them, because the house and their local possessions still needed to be taken care of, and they could not even have a home in order to flee.
Communication between Dang and Lan Umbrella has long been cut off, and the refugees can only pray that their men are still safe. Of course, the most important thing to pray for is that the war will end as soon as possible, so that they can return to their homeland and enjoy a stable life again.
"Is this war?" To be precise, Lan Die is not standing on the real battlefield, this place is directly close to the side of the battlefield.
Seeing the appearance of Lan Die and Shen Ming, a group of children on the side of the road surrounded them with incomprehensible words, begging for things, they were actually not really helpless, at least in Shen Ming's view, those malnourished children in Africa who didn't even have the strength to call "send a point" should really be relieved.
But Lan Die didn't know that nerve had been touched, like the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, she put down the package with tears in her eyes, took out a bunch of chocolates and distributed them to the children.
"Don't rob it, everyone has it, pass it to the little brother in the back." Lan Die said softly.
"Senior... Those are our emergency supplies..."Shen Ming hurriedly stopped, he understood the state of the war zone, and gave away all the food, and if he was really in trouble in the later stage, he would cry and laugh.
"Xiao Ming... Do you have compassion or not, don't these children need emergency more than we do? Fast... Take yours out too... This is an order..."Lan Die yelled sternly.
"Alas, count me unlucky...... Shen Ming could only break his teeth and swallow in his stomach, who called the role he played was a little newcomer who had never been on the battlefield, and he couldn't explain to Lan Die, this group of little rabbits didn't eat badly.
There was no way, Shen Ming's beef jerky and chocolate were all distributed to this group of children, so they cleaned and slipped with Lan Die, and continued to walk towards the customs office with a bunch of equipment that could not be chewed and bitten.
Originally, I thought that the customs gate that had ended trade would be cold, but the road along the customs gate was full of nervous refugees, and as soon as they saw Shen Ming and Lan Die walking towards the customs gate, they surrounded in groups. This is not a child begging for something, but a desperate shoving letters into their bodies, and a chaotic scene of mouth-tossing and talking about their requests in jerky Chinese or English.
Basically, all of them were asking Shen Ming and Lan Die to go and see the situation at their home, and bring a message back, with their detailed addresses, photos of their families, and many of them still holding banknotes, although not a lot, but they all represented their anxious hearts.
"Shen Ming... Protect your device and don't break it... I'm sorry, everyone, please let me go..."The petite Lan Die was squeezed in the crowd and was almost out of sight, and there was a group of refugees who stuffed things on their bodies, and they were inevitably stuck in oil and ate tofu. Lan Die was ashamed, annoyed and helpless, so she could only tell Shen Ming to be more careful...
"Let me come..."Shen Ming suddenly leaned over, sat the short Lan Die on his shoulder, and pushed out of the crowd. She suddenly felt relaxed, but in front of everyone, she was only wearing hot pants and a vest, and she couldn't help but be embarrassed when she was carried by a big man like this. It's okay to dare to sit by yourself in the room, but you will still be ashamed of being so ambiguous in front of people.
"Get out of the way..."Shen Ming didn't have such a good face on these refugees, carrying this companion on his shoulder, a device more than 1 meter long in his hand, and moving forward with iron bones, the killing intent in his eyes was more terrifying than the rebels these refugees had seen, so they couldn't help but give way.
When Shen Ming finally put down Lan Die at the Chinese customs gate, the bodies and luggage of the two were covered with numerous envelopes and paw prints. The most shameless thing is that there are two more black paw prints on the chest of Landie's white T-shirt, and the more you look at it, the more obscene it becomes.
"This group of perverts, even A-, don't let go..."Shen Ming reprimanded angrily.
"Shut up... Change of clothes... I'm leaving..."Lan Die blushed, jumped up and patted Shen Ming's head. The soldiers standing guard led the two men to the inner chamber and asked them to change into clean clothes before passing through customs.
Shen Ming put the letters on his body together, ready to throw them away.
"What are you doing?" Lan Die, who followed out, said nervously.
"Of course, they lost it, and there was no way to help them fulfill this wish. And it's better not to read it, they can write worse than Qu Yuan, and throwing it away is the best way to deal with it. Shen Ming has also experienced such a thing.
"No... These are the expectations of those refugees, how can they just be thrown away..."Lan Die snatched the letter from Shen Ming's hand, put it with herself, and put it in her luggage.
"Senior...... You're troubled. Shen Ming sighed helplessly.
Soon, as a special war correspondent of Yangshi, Shen Ming and Lan Die completed the customs clearance procedures at the customs gate, and the captain kept reminding the two that Dare was very chaotic now and must be more careful.
Retail Lan Die also shook hands with the captain tightly to express Yangshi's condolences to these border guards.
After crossing the border, which symbolizes the border between the two countries, Aradie, who was still waving goodbye to the soldiers, was suddenly grabbed by the collar from behind. Before she could react, the border guards of the Okan side had already dragged her and Shen Ming into the border checkpoint belonging to the Dang.
That rude attitude made several border guards excitedly raise the 95 aim in their hands, and even the bolt safety was opened.
But the captain of the squadron, who had a big beard and carried an "81 bar" assault rifle on his shoulder, chuckled disdainfully and raised his middle finger at these Celestial Empire border guards, and the arrogance really made people want to smash his face.
"Stop... You can't do this to us... We are approved war correspondents, protected by international law...", Lan Die kept stating in English, trying to reason with the soldier who captured her.
The soldier couldn't understand Lan Die's English at all, so he only felt that it was a provocation, so he angrily raised the butt of the rifle in his hand and smashed it hard.
Yilan Die's little head will definitely be red this time, but the butt of the gun was blocked by Shen Ming's palm as soon as it was halfway down. Shen Ming explained in the noodle shop language with a smile on her face, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, she doesn't understand the rules and is a little nervous." ”
Shen Ming let go of the butt of the gun as he spoke, and pushed Lan Die back into the corner.
"Do you speak noodle shop?" Lan Die didn't express her gratitude for being saved, but wondered about Shen Ming's talent for language.
"I told you that my third uncle is a good gambler, and he always comes here to play, and his noodle shop is what he taught, and some daily words can barely be mixed." Shen Ming turned around and explained, "There are also seniors, international law is useless here, if you should be soft, you will be soft, and if you can't eat in front of you, you won't eat." ”
If it weren't for Shen Ming's timely action just now, she would have been lying on a stretcher by now.
"You newcomer, you are so spineless, think about our revolutionary martyrs, which one of them has softened in the face of the enemy's artillery butcher's knife?" Lan Die directly popularized patriotic education for Shen Ming.
"Senior, those are all hanging...... Do you want us to hang here too? Shen Ming wanted to cry without tears, so he could only refute it in his heart.
And a group of rebels have begun to rummage through the luggage of the two. Lan Die watched as her underwear was picked up and kneaded back and forth by the hairy soldiers, and even put it on herself to laugh at her companions. Lan Die's teeth itched with hatred, and she just wanted to burn all those clothes.
After making sure that there were no contraband in the luggage, they turned their attention to the pile of envelopes, which they wantonly tore up containing the refugees' wishes, counted all the cash inside, put it in their own pockets, and threw the photos and letters in the trash.
"How can they do this..."Lan Die finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Of course they can...... A soldier who can mercilessly kill a human, what else can't they do? Shen Ming has always kept Lan Die behind him to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
