Chapter 332: First Close Encounter
An Feng entered the settlement at noon, and several members of the pursuit team immediately ran around the settlement...... No, it's three weeks, and the diagonal position is a little too far to catch up, plus now that everyone has no walkie-talkie in their hands, they really want to send someone over to squat, but Kaze is worried that the person sent over will be quietly solved by An Feng, and he doesn't know what to do.
So this time, everyone took the usual way of squatting for three weeks, quietly waiting for An Feng to leave after eating and drinking as usual - but, today is a bit strange, "Zakhagon" entered the settlement, lunch time passed, seeing that the daylight was shifting, it was almost dinner time, and the other party actually had no intention of leaving...... Well, since An Feng entered the settlement Kaze, he has been hesitating, he has already thought of a way, but he does not dare to decide.
He wasn't a decisive man.
For an afternoon, Kaze kept asking the men who were on guard on three sides, because there was no news of An Feng coming out for a long time, he almost suspected that his people had been killed, until he saw with his own eyes that the people surrounded on three sides were still alive, but he still couldn't believe that "Zakhagon" had not left the settlement.
What's going on?
Kaze lingered in place for a moment, he raised his eyes and asked Yanlu as if for verification: "You say, why don't you dare to take the shuttle bus to leave for 'Zakhagon'?" ”
Iwalu squirmed his mouth - he wanted to say: probably this "Zakhagon" is worried that everyone will call the police and let the police arrest him...... But he suddenly felt that the reason why the teacher asked so solemnly was definitely not so simple.
"Maybe the reason was that he was worried that we would call the police, but that was the reason a few days ago. Now, a few days have passed since the time of the crime, and 'Zakhagon' has left the scene of the crime. Now, even if he appears in public and shows up on the bus, he's not afraid of accusations — because we have no evidence against him. And we want to produce the corresponding evidence, unless we are willing to prove that we are a party to the conflict......"
But if we say we are on the other side of the conflict, how can we explain the bloody conflict in the herdsmen's huts?
This period of time has passed, and it is estimated that the case of the herdsman's hut has been discovered, and although the spiritual leader behind Kaze is powerful, the power behind the diamond-encrusted tyrant is estimated to be not small. At the same time, the revenge spirit of the families of the mountain herders is very stubborn and paranoid...... Therefore, now "Zakhagon" is not afraid to show up in front of people, but it is the Kaze group that is afraid of showing up in front of people.
Of course, it is possible that "Zakhagon" will not accuse Kaze - everyone is from a place outside the law, and the unspoken rules of the people must be observed, not to mention that it is not a good thing for the fugitive "Zakhagon" to testify that Kaze is not a good thing. Because in this way, Zakhagon also has to expose his own details.
Well, now everyone is not afraid to show up in front of people, now everyone has scruples about beating wolves, and now everyone is finally equal...... Kaze waved his hand: "Tell the others to go directly into the town, we will meet in the town." ”
This is a naturally occurring settlement, and whether there was a road or a settlement is a question of chicken or egg, and it is not worth examining. The people who settled in this settlement belonged to the semi-nomadic, semi-commercial merchants, who had their own flocks of sheep, and when the nearby pastures were not enough to eat, they also sent their families to constantly move pastures. But they also have shops, hotels or restaurants.
Most of the time, the inhabitants of the area made a living from business, and their homes were restaurants, inns, and trading warehouses. The herdsmen who came down from the mountains also bought the goods from the herdsmen, entertained them with accommodation, and provided them with food, and the goods they bought could be quickly transferred by road.
There are no industrial facilities in Kashmir as a whole, and most of the people here are pastoralists or semi-nomadic, half-commercial businessmen like that. On both sides of the road, there are many settlements like this, some with a little more people and some with a little less, the difference is whether the nearby pastures are large enough.
The architecture in Kashmir is heavily influenced by the British, and it varies slightly according to the local climate, for example, the windows here are small, but even the small windows can still see the British flavor of the building itself.
Along both sides of the highway there are rows of such British-flavored Kashmiri buildings, most of which are heavy stone houses, and there is no second street for the buildings here, all the houses are arranged in a straight line along the road, because the road here is a three-way road, so the houses in the town are also arranged in a T shape.
The highway was not busy, so it was not a violation of traffic to walk in the middle of the road, and Kaze led the men along the central line of the road out of caution, when countless dark shadows swayed in the windows of the roadside and in the open doors of the shops, and the shopkeepers sitting by the doors looked indifferently at the group of strangers who had just entered the town.
The remaining 5 chasers all had guns on their backs, and the long spear was inevitably one person and one shot, and everyone had at least one short gun...... Well, this phenomenon is not uncommon in this part of Kashmir, where going out without a gun is almost guaranteed that he will not be able to return home at night.
Lisa's settlement is close to the India-Pakistan ceasefire line, and after climbing over a few hills, everyone's current position is actually close to the intersection between the Hindu Kush and the Karakoram Mountains, and behind them is the continuous mountains.
The shopkeepers were indifferent, and almost no one greeted the Kaze group...... Because they don't look like mountain herders, they are all wearing camouflage uniforms at the moment, and although they don't have badges and cockades, they look murderous - usually the people who like to wear military uniforms are bandits in the mountains.
Kaze led people to the T-junction, still no one beckoned them into the store, when he was hesitating to ask who to ask for news, the corner of his eyes suddenly swept to a familiar back, he quickly stopped, at this time the familiar back turned around, Kaze's pupils focused on the other party, he exuded a chill all over his body, at this moment, if the eyes can kill, then the other party has been killed more than a dozen times.
The person on the opposite side is the "Zakhagon" that everyone has been tracking, and Kaze has only seen the back of the other party before, but as soon as this person turns his face, he doesn't need to be reminded by the chasing team next to him, Kaze confirms that this is the target he wants to track.
Of course, Kaze was able to identify his target because the only person in the town who carried Tagore's sniper rifle on his shoulder was the man in front of him, who was as legend has it to say, tall, with long legs, and a well-proportioned build...... But Kaze did not believe the rumors too much, because he was obviously not a dull man of few words, because at the moment, the other party had a great sense of humor, and he hung the pursuers out of town for a whole afternoon, without feeling guilty at all, and at this moment he was on the veranda on the second floor of a hotel by the T-junction, picking his teeth with a toothpick, and looking mockingly at the five of Kaze, the Tagore with his shoulder on his back, with a look of contempt and sarcasm on his face.
Kaze only hesitated for two seconds, then he waved his hand, pointed to the hotel where "Zakhagon" was located, and motioned: "Let's go to that hotel." ”
A group of people snorted into the hotel, they almost entered the hotel gate from under An Feng's balcony, during which Iwaka waved his fist at "Zakhagon", and "Zakhagon" didn't mind showing a weird smile at Yanlu, he stretched out his thumb as if to praise Iwaka, but immediately he flipped his wrist and put his thumb down - a gesture of disdain.
But this gesture is something that Americans like to play, because he often appears in Hollywood movies.
The foyer of the small hotel is not big, it is the size of an ordinary room, there is no one in the foyer, Kaze contacted and patted the Ling, but did not get a little response, several times Kaze was ready to rush upstairs to find "Zakhagon" to settle the account, but after thinking about it, he still decided to give up.
This is already a civilized society, even if there is a conflict between the two sides, it is not convenient to fight directly, and if you want to kidnap "Zakhagon" out of the town...... There are only five people in Kaze now, and his own combat strength is excluded, and it is still a question whether the remaining four people can contain the "Zakhagon".
To tell the truth, when he rushed into the herdsman's hut, Kaze's team didn't come to communicate with the people of the diamond-encrusted tyrant team, and if he communicated, he would know that An Feng knocked down two people with his bare hands when one person faced the whole pack team, and then single-handedly solved five people with a pistol. If he had known this in advance, he would have been extremely glad that he had followed his reason and not moved.
Finally, the sound of footsteps sounded and a man ran down from the stairs, causing everyone to put their hands on their pistols, but then they realized that it was the shopkeeper who appeared, and everyone relaxed a little.
When the shopkeeper saw this group of people, he first smiled and rubbed his hands excitedly, but immediately said with a little regret: "Everyone, it's a pity that our small shop only has four rooms, and now these four rooms are all booked, but I can introduce you to my relative's house to stay, my relative's hotel has 5 rooms, and it also supplies hot water, what do you think?" ”
Similar roadside shops, most of them only have 4 or 5 rooms, this is not surprising, Kaze's original idea was to install one person in the hotel, and the rest of the people lived nearby, Zhilu Dao "Zakagon" after the whole hotel was generously packed, Kaze pointed to the hotel across the road, and asked slowly: "Is that the hotel of your relative's house?" If it we're going to live in. ”
The innkeeper touched his chin and looked reserved: "Mr. is interested in that hotel......"
Kaze understood, and he immediately took out his wallet and asked: "What color banknote do you like?" Pakistani money, dollars, or some other currency, like the red old man's head? ”
The innkeeper smiled: "It's all right, it's all right, as long as it's currency, I like it." ”
Kaze took out a Pakistani currency and put it on the counter calmly, the innkeeper's hand was very fast, and the coins on the counter disappeared like lightning, and then the boss replied with a smile: "The hotel opposite my hotel, there should be no empty rooms at this time, but I suggest you stay diagonally opposite, the hotel diagonally opposite has 6 rooms, enough for you to stay." ”
The innkeeper's words revealed a strong hint, Kaze groaned slightly, and did not hide it, he took out 5 or 6 Pakistani currencies, and calmly placed them on the counter, you must have guessed, we are here for your guests upstairs, I wonder what they have done since they came, and where have the woman and the child gone now? Where did their donkeys go? Perhaps you can also tell me when your guests are going to leave. ”
The innkeeper glanced at the stairs with a smile, when he went downstairs just now, the five guests in the foyer all held pistols in their hands, looking like they were facing a great enemy, and when he stood at the counter, two of them moved to the staircase as if nothing happened, and kept peeking at the top of the staircase with a wary expression.
This state of caution and vigilance can be guessed as long as you are not blind to rush upstairs to the guests, and the people who can survive in this extralegal place are not blind.
So the boss used, diagonally opposite the room to try, Kaze understood the other party's temptation, so he went straight to the goal.
It is impossible to expect a businessman to make money or not, people have no concept of credit at all in a place outside the law, no matter how much money An Feng pays the boss to ask the other party to keep it secret, the boss will secretly sell the secret, and then pretend that he never leaked the secret.
"They came in at noon and asked for hot water for a shower......" the innkeeper paused slightly.
Kaze added a few more bills, and the innkeeper continued: "Their donkeys were taken to the backyard, and the panniers were almost empty, and they were four good donkeys......
Kaze added a few more bills, and the innkeeper whispered without guilt: "They only eat the food they brought, and they don't ask for the food we offer, and the lady and the child, after eating and bathing, went shopping for a while, and now go back to their rooms to sleep......"
Kaze gritted his teeth and pulled out the last few Pakistani banknotes, put them on the counter, and then took out a piece of Kashmir sapphire ore from his pocket, and gently pressed it on the banknote, his hand put down the ore and did not leave, pressing the banknote, staring at each other's eyes, and saying word by word: "I want to know when your guest intends to leave." ”
The innkeeper smiled lightly, put his hand on the side of the banknote, and added lightly: "They have inquired about the shuttle bus tomorrow morning, and it is said that their woman and children are very tired and tired, and plan to rest here for a day. ”
At this moment, the two pursuers at the top of the stairs hurriedly made a gesture, Kaze hesitated, after all, he did not dare to face "Zakhagon", he waved his hand, and the whole team quietly and panicked out of the hotel.
At the moment when they just walked out of the hotel, An Feng appeared at the staircase with a cigarette in his mouth, his left hand pressed the pistol on his waist, stood at the staircase and looked at the backs of the five people, through the window facing the street, he saw Kaze quickly crossed the road with people to the opposite hotel, and then Shi Shiran walked down the stairs with a cigarette in his mouth, and then stood at the staircase, without glancing at the innkeeper out of the corner of his eyes, and asked slowly: "What questions did they ask?" ”
The innkeeper originally planned to make money for asking questions again, but somehow it was clear that An Feng's casual words made the boss a little frightened, and he repeated what he had just said without hesitation.
An Feng had a transcendental sense, but he couldn't hear the voice inside the transcendental sense. However, he was not ignorant of the conversation in the hallway, because all five of them had spy insects on them, and at the moment he was asking the boss a psychological deterrent, warning them not to be unscrupulous.
The boss's confession is no different from what An Feng eavesdropped, and it is pointless to hold the boss accountable at this moment. So An Feng just stared at the boss with his eyes and exerted a moment of psychological pressure, and then, he picked up his cigarette and walked out of the hotel calmly.
At this time, Nuer and Lisa were indeed sleeping, during this time they were tired, and they met the warm bed again, and they couldn't complain that they slept all day, and at this time, due to the generation difference in technology, although An Feng was alone, he was not afraid of the other party's division of troops to come and sneak attack, he Shi Shiran followed Kaze into the hotel across the road, and did not care about the two pursuers who looked nervous and vigilant at the door of the hotel.
When An Feng entered, Kaze was inquiring about the shuttle bus with the innkeeper early tomorrow morning, and because the two pursuers standing at the door did not make a warning sound, An Feng suddenly spoke at the door, so frightened that the other three pistols almost went off.
An Feng's voice was lazy and unhurried: "Why do you have to ask the innkeeper, is it different to ask me?" ”
As he spoke, the two guards standing at the door moved, An Feng shook his body, opened his bow left and right, and one of them punched the stomach, beating the two into a grilled shrimp shape. His movements were so fast that Yan Lu and another chasing team member at the counter had just pulled out their guns, and the muzzle of the gun had not yet been raised, An Feng's pistol had already been bolted, and the muzzle of the gun was charged at the two of them little by little: "Why be so nervous, sit down and have a drink, boss, what wine do you have here?" ”
The boss quickly said a local liquor, and An Feng's pistol was used little by little, forcing the two to reinsert the guns, and during the entire confrontation, Kaze never pulled out his gun, he knew that his combat skills were not high, so he never joined in this kind of fun.
Of course, as his apprentice, Iwaka's strength is not in combat skills.
When Kaze and An Feng sat at the round table, both of them looked at each other, with a "finally met" demeanor, like old friends who had been reunited for a long time.
Kaze's height is about 1.75 meters, he is not a mountain man, he is a backbone molecule absorbed from the lowlands, his height is not high or short in the lowlands, but in front of An Feng, who is 1.9 meters, he looks very thin and weak.
An Feng asked Kaze's name in a friendly manner, and at this time, the boss brought two wine glasses and quickly poured a glass for each of them......
