A Dream of Jinling Chapter 358 The Profit-Seekers (15)

Next chapter

A young boy in liberation shoes ran briskly along a simple road made of nearby sand and soil, which was fairly flat, perhaps because of the dust, or perhaps because it was too hot, and the road took on a whiteish color.

On either side of the road is a flat field, near the river there is a long aqueduct built to avoid the Nile's floods, and the irrigation station at the end of the aqueduct carries the Nile water farther and flows along the irrigation canal to feed the vast alfalfa fields in the vicinity.

The little guy ran a little out of breath, and he stood up a little to catch his breath. Purple flowers bloom in the large alfalfa fields on both sides of the road, and there are neatly planted trees every other section. The trees already provide good shade, and there are quite large trees planted at the nodes of the canals, and the shade is very attractive, but the little one does not want to go there to rest. ↖Wán↖↖ロba, ↗ .∽♀.→ Because there are probably beehives around the shade of those trees, he has had the experience of provoking bees and getting stung, which is really uncomfortable.

His destination was not far from where he had stopped, and high above the flat earth, stood a city. Around that city there were many houses of tribes who had come to live here. The low-rise houses were not visible from the little one's position, and the city was clearly visible on the exterior with red sandstone decorated here.

The wall was about four or five meters high, and the little guy could only see the battlements and shooting ports above, and behind the walls were two taller buildings that were much larger than the walls, one of which was a water tower that the locals could not understand, and the other was a lookout, an antenna, and a signal tower. This watchtower, together with the watchposts on the water tower, combined with the watchtowers at the four corners of the city, form the observation system of the fortress numbered 006.

Taking a breath, the little one stepped forward and moved on. The roads that converged near the fortress became denser and more and more people came and went. When you walk near the fort, the usual market scene is displayed in front of the little one. Compared to other spontaneous markets, the markets here appear to be extremely orderly. As the black patrols in yellow uniforms passed by, even the squabbling locals lowered their voices. Even if they had no intention of stopping the bickering, they would wait for the patrols to leave.

There is only one gate in Fort 006, and the little guy in blue pants is out of breath when he sees this little guy wearing a white cotton sleeveless undershirt with a blue belt on his upper body. The guard at the door couldn't help but stop him and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"I am a student at Ludi Village Primary School, and I want to come to the school's teacher Yang." The little guy answers the guard's questions in Chinese that people can understand.

Looking at the other school badges on the cotton shirt, especially the scar on the little one's shoulder from vaccination, the guard let him go. China has not been in this part of East Africa for a long time, and there are not many people willing to follow it willingly, and there are only a few who can be fully trusted by the Chinese. Local authorities have some confidence in the children, and in order to ensure that they do not die meaninglessly from the various diseases of East Africa, the children of families deemed valuable to nurture are vaccinated. Just by looking at the marks on the shoulders, you can know the status of these locals. At least for now, the marks left by vaccination can be used as a sign of the credibility of the locals.

There were people coming and going outside the gate, and the guards let the little guy in. Learning is hard enough, and there is no way to establish a permanent school for every primary school in the East African region, so teachers have to rotate between schools. Under such conditions, the guards still pay so much attention to the teacher, and the guards still appreciate it.

The gate is as crowded as Pyongyang, and some of the shops and facilities in this city, which is more than 300 meters long and wide, must be set up inside, and it is very inconvenient to not let people from outside the city come in at all. The guards quickly forgot about the child. There are a lot of people trying to get in and out, and the guards have to watch them very carefully.

Twenty minutes later, a shrill siren sounded in the fort. The guards frowned, and they immediately closed the fence and no longer allowed people to enter or leave. After a few more minutes, the public security comrade inside ran to the door, and he asked with a frown, "Did you let a local student in not long ago?" ”

The inquiring guard was stunned, although he didn't want to admit it immediately, he didn't think that a child could make much trouble. After a moment's hesitation, the inquiring guard said, "There is such a child." What did he do? ”

"You come with me." The public security comrades did not answer the question, but instead made a request.

The inquiring guard regretted it for a while, but he had no reason to refuse at this time. Complaining about his luck, the guard followed the public security comrades inside. Seeing that he had left the crowded place, the guard asked again tentatively, "Comrade, what did that kid do?" ”

"The boy didn't do anything, but someone stabbed him badly. Who is such a hand on a child? The public security comrade replied with a black face.

The guard was in a relaxed mood for a while, and the kid he put in didn't make trouble. However, this ease did not last long, and the guard suddenly remembered another thing, the child did not make trouble, but the murderer who stabbed the little one was not a good thing. As a guard, it seems hopeless to get rid of responsibility completely. But this uneasiness did not expand again, and without knowing who the murderer was, no one could be sure whether the murderer was a local, let alone who had put it in. This responsibility is not taken by the guards themselves.

The fortress was not large, and while the guards were thinking nonsense, he had already followed the police to the scene of the murder. Behind a stable, a dozen local hired men were busy working on the stable, while the little one was lying on some hay and the doctor was urgently treating him.

"Let's see if it's the kid you put in there." The police asked.

There was a doctor standing in the way, and the guard couldn't see the child's face, so he leaned over to take a look, and looked away because of the large blood stain on the child's chest. "That's him, about half an hour or so to let him in." The guard hurriedly stepped back and said.

Although he couldn't see the wound clearly, the guard saw the white shirt next to the child that had been cut open by the doctor, and the blouse was stained red with blood. Such a small thing had shed so much blood, and the injury must have been extremely serious.

"Do you remember who followed him?" The police asked.

The guard shook his head repeatedly, "I don't remember anyone with him, this kid is here to look for ...... Find Mr. Yang. ”

Hearing this information, the public security comrade's brows furrowed even tighter, and the teacher who came to China stabbed him in the back, and the person who stabbed the child was ruthless, making it clear that he was going for his life. Could it be that the Chinese teacher had some kind of conflict with this child?

"He only said that he came here to find Teacher Yang?" The public security comrade said half-to himself.

"No...... right"

"That's not right!"

The police and the guards remembered one thing almost at the same time, the teachers were taking turns attending classes in various villages at this time, and Teacher Yang should now be teaching in a certain village like other teachers.

"I remember that Mr. Yang went to class with the other teachers today." The guard's brain was also nimble at this time.

"Why did this kid come to Teacher Yang?" The comrades of the public security were also puzzled.

The facts of the case were already strange, but now with the increase of intelligence, the case has not only not become simpler, but has begun to complicate it. Both turned their heads to look at the face of the child who was dying on the ground, at the mercy of the doctor. What kind of villain did this little thing provoke, or what kind of sin it committed, and it happened to be so terrible.

At this moment, a young man with a rather handsome face, at least a handsome face identified with an Arab, ran along the path from which the little one had come in a somewhat distracted manner. His expression was cloudy, and his palms clenched unconsciously and then released. The dried blood at the tiger's mouth had begun to turn black, and there were no knives left in the scabbard at his waist.

The child was nowhere near as fast as the young man, and the young man seemed to have the urge to leave something behind, even in the sunlight without pause. So the little guy ran for more than an hour, and the young man ran it in just over half an hour.

The village was quiet in the sunlight, and the young man stood at the entrance of the village and said, "Do not take your father and brother as protectors, if they abandon Islam and become superstitious!" Wherever you find apostates, kill them, and the murderer will be rewarded in Paradise on the Day of Resurrection! ”

"Do not take your father and brother as your protectors, if they renounce Islam and adopt superstition......

"Don't use your father and brother as your protectors......"

The recitation had a considerable effect, and the young man's handsome face became more and more determined, and the confusion, regret, guilt, and uneasiness that had unconsciously appeared on his face disappeared without a trace. The strong logic brought about by firm faith expels the weakness and vacillation brought about by human nature in young people, makes him firm, and protects him from any external feelings.

With such an expression, the young man strode into the village. Not long after walking forward, two men with machetes suddenly flashed out of the corner. After seeing the young man, they first sighed, "Erdogan, why did you run back so early?" It scared us. ”

After speaking, the two noticed the strangeness of Erdogan's expression. And Erdogan's expression was so shocking that the two men with machetes did not dare to say anything more. Erdogan spoke, "The village chief has already started to prepare, take me to the village chief." ”

Inside Fort 006, the little one's limbs suddenly began to spasm. The doctor's hands holding the suture needles temporarily stopped the suturing action, the child was too young, and the three incisions on his body were very deep, and he should have been stabbed in the arteries of the internal organs. Now the spasm must be the result of excessive blood loss, and if the spasm is allowed to continue, the child will not be able to bear it.

"Nurse, give him saline." The doctor shouted.

And the little guy couldn't hear any outside sounds at this time, his consciousness was no longer working, and there were all kinds of faint noises in his brain. The little guy seemed to see that he had just entered the city again, and the city was empty, only the guard at the door spoke to him first. Then the little guy went to find Teacher Yang, but Teacher Yang was not there.

After walking around the city for a while, the little guy saw a person, and he subconsciously said: "Uncle Erdogan." ”
