"Thank you, no one can help me ......"

The Palestinian guy shook his head and refused, but when he raised his head and saw Dewey's standard Chinese face, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed Dewey's hand violently and asked excitedly: "Sir, are you Chinese?" ”

"I'm supposed to be Canadian, exactly, but you're not wrong to say that." Dewey said.

As long as you are born in China, no matter which country you become a citizen, you will be labeled as a Chinese, and it will never change, even if you can't even speak a word of Chinese, in the eyes of foreigners, you are still Chinese.

Just like the Palestinian guy in front of him, he didn't pay attention to what Dewey said earlier, and after hearing that he was Chinese, he couldn't wait to say: "You are Chinese, it's great, can you really help me?" I need your help! ”

He looked at Dewey with a look of anticipation and worry, expecting an affirmative answer, worrying about hearing the words of rejection.

Dewey didn't give him a direct answer, and said, "Can you tell me more about your difficulties, if I can do it, of course I can help you." ”

The Palestinian guy stood up, put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly to Dewey, and said: "The platform is oblique and muddy, and the nest is straight and the sister and sister-in-law are ......."

Dewey looked at him confusedly, was he talking to me in Mandarin?

"Stop! You still speak English. ”

Dewey immediately stopped him, almost exhausted from just guessing what these words meant, and if he was allowed to finish his words, he would probably be sacrificed.

The young man's face turned red, and he said in English: "I'm really sorry, I just learned Chinese, it's not standard, I'll work hard." ”

"It's okay, what were you going to tell me just now?" Dewey asked.

"I want to say, thank you so much, sir. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Rana Nasir shahzad......"

His name was too long, and Dewey only remembered the first three words: yes, that guy, what about killing, this name is not really good, but it is quite domineering.

The killer also knew that his name was a bit long, and when he saw Dewey's expression, he immediately stopped, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my name is too long, or you can call me Huaxia's name, Li Yaxin." ”

There is actually a Chinese name, and the pronunciation of these three words is very standard, which surprised Dewey.

"Okay, I'll call you Li Yaxin, it's nice to meet you. My English name is Stephen, Du, and you can also call me by my Chinese name, Dewey. Dewey introduced himself.

"Hello Mr. Du, it's a pleasure to meet you, if it's convenient for you, can you hear my story, I really, really need your help." Li Yaxin's eyes showed nervous color.

"Of course," Dewey looked around, "I don't think this is the right place to talk, don't you think?" ”

"You're right, if you don't mind, can I invite you to my house?" Li Yaxin asked expectantly.

"Where do you live, far from here?" Dewey asked.

"I live near the West Coast, a little bit far from here." Li Yaxin said in a snort.

West Coast!

Dewey's eyes lit up and he smiled: "I came to Gaza to conduct a research, and I am glad to be a guest at your home." ”

"That's great, Mr. Du, please come with me."

Dewey followed Li Yaxin into the streets of Gaza.

It was only when you were in Gaza that you realized how hard it really was here.

There are dilapidated houses everywhere, the tallest building is only seven or eight storeys, and most of the buildings are gray and white cement, without any paint.

The bright shop windows and shiny neon lights do not belong to this city, which makes people feel as if they have returned to the First World War period, even any fifth-tier city in China is more developed than here.

There are very few cars on the road, most of the people walk, the bus is almost not seen, and occasionally two taxis pass by, but Li Yaxin obviously has no intention of taking a taxi, and the price should be very high.

"Mr. Du, let's walk forward for another twenty minutes, and we will arrive at the bus stop, and there is a bus to my house."

"There's a taxi, why don't we take a taxi?" Dewey said.

Li Yaxin touched his pocket, gritted his teeth hard, as if he had made a very difficult decision, and said, "Okay, let's take a taxi." ”

He hailed the taxi, got into it with Dewey, told the driver the address, and drove to his house.

On the way, Li Yaxin introduced the buildings along the way to Dewey, and Dewey secretly linked them with the map in his memory and constructed a three-dimensional map in his mind.

"What are they doing?"

Dewey pointed to the ruins of war-torn buildings that had been blown to the ground and were being torn down by people dismantling steel and concrete blocks.

"Israel doesn't allow cement and steel to flow into Gaza, and even the United Nations can't bring in construction materials, so we have to waste them." Li Yaxin said angrily.

Dewey suddenly took out a notebook and recorded these records.

To do a play, you have to do a full set, and now he is not a member of the Hidden Dragons, but a doctor who came to Gaza to investigate, and of course these must be recorded.

"Oh, what's going on?"

Dewey reached out and pointed forward.

I saw several motorcycles roaring towards me, and behind the car in the middle, there was a corpse in tow.

"They are Hamas people, and the body is supposed to be a Palestinian who works for Israel, who was found and shot by Hamas and is parading the streets."

Li Yaxin kept his voice low, as if he was afraid of being heard by Hamas outside, and said: "Hamas looks like it is trying to open an exit for us, but it is strictly monitoring those who have the opportunity to go to Israel." Under Palestinian law, the execution warrant needs to be signed by the President of the National Authority, but they don't care about it. ”

Dewey's eyebrows were slightly raised, and sure enough, it was a place of war, and life was like a mustard.

He took up a pen and wrote them down.

Dewey's actions aroused Li Yaxin's interest and asked, "Mr. Du, are you a reporter?" ”

"No, I'm a Ph.D. student at the School of International Relations at the University of Toronto, Canada, and I'm doing a project on Palestinian-Israeli peace, so I'm here to do some research." Dewey explained.

"What a coincidence!" Li Yaxin exclaimed in surprise.

Dewey was stunned in his heart, could this murderer also be a student at the University of Toronto?

Although Gaza is blockaded by Israel, many people are still able to study abroad, and it is not impossible for Li Yaxin to study at the University of Toronto.

Dewey raised his head quietly and asked, "Why, you are also a student at the University of Toronto?" ”

"Mr. Du exalted me, I don't have the ability to go to the University of Toronto, my girlfriend is there, and she is also from the School of International Relations, called Li Siqi, do you know me?" Li Yaxin asked.

"There are a lot of students in the School of International Relations, and I often go abroad for research, so I don't know her. Listening to her name, it should be a Chinese, right? Dewey asked.

"Yes, she said she was from Taidao, China." Li Yaxin replied.

"Oh, that's what she said, from Huaxia Taidao?" Dewey asked.

"yes, that's what she said." Li Yaxin was puzzled at first, and suddenly remembered the relationship between Huaxia and Taiwan, and said with a smile: "Siqi is different from other Taiwanese people, she is very supportive of reunification, and she carries her Taiwan resident card wherever she goes, and she said that only the Huaxia Embassy will help her." ”

Taiwan Island has not yet returned, and many Taiwan people regard themselves as independent countries, but Li Yaxin's girlfriend named Li Siqi added the word Huaxia in front of it, which made Dewey have a good impression of this girl he had not yet met.

"How did you meet?" Dewey asked curiously.

Taiwan Island, Gaza, two places where the wind and horses are not related, I really don't know how they became lovers.

"Siqi, like Mr. Du, also came here to do research. Because she was a girl, she needed a local guide, and a friend introduced me to her, and that's how we met. Li Yaxin said.

"And then, they fell in love?" Dewey quipped.

Li Yaxin was silent, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Actually, she is not my girlfriend yet. She didn't accept my confession. ”

It turned out to be a crush.

It was a bit embarrassing, and Dewey said apologetically, "I'm so sorry." ”

"It's okay, Siqi didn't refuse. She just said that it was impossible to stay in Gaza, and that her parents would not agree. If I can get out of here, then she'll say yes to me. As you can see, the Israelis won't let me leave, and this is my seventh request to leave. But I won't give up, I will definitely leave Gaza and be with Siqi! ”

Li Yaxin's eyes shone with confidence, and the frustration at the exit port just now was completely gone.

"Mr. Du, do you know? My Chinese name was given to me by Siqi, she said that Chinese people have to have a surname after marriage, so they want me to have the surname Li, Yaxin means, it is the new life of Asia, she hopes that I can leave this place in Gaza and start a new life......"

Speaking of his girlfriend, Li Yaxin opened the conversation box and told Dewey about their past.

Dewey had never seen Li Siqi, and he couldn't tell whether her words were polite or sincere, but when he saw Li Yaxin, who was full of fighting spirit, he somewhat believed that it was the latter.

There is never a shortage of great love in this world, not everyone's concept of love is money first, there are always those who are desperate for love, such as Chu Chu, such as Song Yu, such as Li Siqi, a Taiwanese girl who has never met.

In Li Yaxin's sweet memories, the taxi finally arrived at his home, and Li Yaxin invited Dewey to his home.

Opening the door, a Palestinian woman and a little girl, who should have been Li Yaxin's mother and sister, greeted her together, nervously asking Li Yaxin what to do in the local language, and seeing him shake his head, disappointment appeared on his face.

Li Yaxin said a few more words and pulled Dewey over.

When the little girl saw Dewey, she immediately exclaimed and hid behind her mother, who said Li Yaxin in a reproachful tone.

This is the case with the religion practiced in Palestine, where unmarried girls are required to wear a veil, and even if they belong to a relatively moderate sect, they are not allowed to come into contact with strange men.

Li Yaxin obviously didn't care about these customs, and explained with a smile, and the mother's face immediately became happy.

Only then did he introduce to Dewey: "Mr. Du, this is my mother, she doesn't understand English, I hope you can forgive me." ”

Then, he introduced Dewey to his mother in the local language, and Mother Li clapped her hands happily, gesturing for Dewey to sit down, and busily got up, while the little girl hid in the room.

Li Yaxin invited Dewey to take a seat, and Li's mother brought fruit and milk tea and put them on the coffee table, and gestured to Dewey to eat.

"Mr. Du, I'm really sorry, there are no good things to entertain you." Li Yaxin said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, that's already good, thank you."

Dewey said and took a sip of milk tea, the taste was very special, he was not used to drinking it, so he put it aside and asked, "You wanted me to help you before, did you want me to take you out of Gaza?" ”

"Yes, I hope Mr. Du can take me out of here, if you can, it is best to take me to Huaxia, I hope to become a Chinese citizen."

Li Yaxin rubbed his hands gently, looking very nervous.

Dewey was not surprised by the previous request, but in the latter words, he was a little confused.

Isn't he as simple as he seems, but actually wants to test me?

Of course, this possibility is very small, if he ignored Li Yaxin at that time, then this temptation is equivalent to failure, and no one will arrange it so carefully for a temptation that may fail that Dewey can't even see it.

But the mission was so important that Dewey had to be cautious and asked, "Why did you want to become a Chinese citizen?" ”

"Because Siqi is a Chinese, if I join the Chinese nationality, we are from the same country, and there will be no more obstacles between us." Li Yaxin said as a matter of course.

It turned out to be this reason, Dewey smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't help you, you should know that Huaxia is not an immigration country, I am a Canadian citizen now, and it is difficult to re-enter Huaxia nationality." ”

"That's right, it seems that I thought it was really simple."

A trace of frustration appeared on Li Yaxin's face, and he asked again, "Then can you take me out of here?" ”

"I can only say as much as possible, and I dare not make promises." Dewey said.

"As long as you can, as long as you can take me out of Gaza, I will have a way to find Siqi." Li Yaxin said happily.

"We'll look into the specifics, but before that, I hope you can do me a favor." Dewey said.

"Mr. Du, please say, no matter what, I will definitely help you." Li Yaxin said.

"I hope that you will be my guide during my time in Gaza. As you said before, you worked as a guide for your girlfriend, and I think you know this very well. Of course, I'll pay you. ”

This was Dewey's main purpose.

To find Chen Zhuo in Gaza, he must have a local guide as his guide.

When he heard Li Yaxin say the word Siqi, he knew that this Palestinian guy should have some relationship with the Chinese, so he moved the idea of hiring him at that time.

"No remuneration, as long as Mr. Du is willing to help me leave Gaza, even if it doesn't work out in the end, I don't need to be paid, after all, you and Siqi are both Chinese, and helping you is helping her." Li Yaxin said.

What a seed of infatuation.

Dewey secretly sighed that in fact, he was not very optimistic about this relationship.

According to Li Yaxin's religious rules, if you want to marry Li Siqi, Li Siqi must enter their religion.

If it was just a change of faith that was a trivial matter, and most importantly, their canons allowed polygamy, it was hard to imagine that a Chinese girl would agree, even if Li Siqi was born on the island of Taiwan.

Dewey had a good impression of Li Yaxin, and decided that it was necessary to remind him, so he said: "I have a question I want to ask, I hope you don't mind." ”

"Mr. Du, please speak, I won't mind." Li Yaxin said.

"If you and Li Siqi really get together, is she going to convert to your religion?" Dewey asked.

“。 In fact, Siqi and I also talked about this issue, and our views are completely the same, she has her religious beliefs, I have my religious beliefs, we respect each other, and there is no conflict. If we have a child in the future, when the child becomes an adult, let him choose his own religion, no one will interfere, even if he believes in Christianity, we will not object. ”

Dewey blinked, it's different from the legend, your degree of faith is obviously not high.

But think about it carefully, if he is not such a person, it is estimated that Li Siqi will not agree to him, and they will be together when he leaves Gaza.

In short, ask for more blessings.

Dewey stopped continuing the topic and asked Li Yaxin about his surroundings.

Li Yaxin saw him talking about business, and he also put his feelings in the back of his mind and introduced them to him in detail.

Western Gaza, because of its proximity to the sea, is limited by Israel, but it is also productive, and the overall economic situation is better than that of other areas.

But it is precisely because of this that the situation on the western coast is also more complicated, bringing together all kinds of forces, not to mention Hamas, a superforce called the armed forces, all kinds of small forces similar to the Black Society, which only control one or two blocks are too many to count, and in the final analysis, there is one word - chaos.

"Many people want to cross the sea and leave Gaza, but the Israelis blockade is too strict, and there is not even one percent of them who can really leave, but even so, there are still smugglers who organize people to smuggle in, if it is not for the fear of dying on the road and never seeing Siqi again, I want to smuggle in."

Hearing Li Yaxin's introduction here, Dewey's heart moved and asked, "Do you know the smuggler?" ”

"It's not that I know each other, I just know two, they charge a lot of money, and they don't guarantee safety." Li Yaxin said.

"If you can, can you take me to meet them? As you know, my topic this time is Palestinian-Israeli peace, and there are so many people doing it that I want to study it from a more special perspective. Dewey explained with a smile.
