The team members all leaned against the cave wall and fell asleep, Wan Lin turned his head to look at the sleeping team members, and quietly stood up and walked outside the cave. In the bushes in front of the entrance of the cave, the vigilant wind and rain brothers turned around and nodded at Wan Lin, and then turned around to look around.

Wan Lin looked at the surrounding terrain and turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain. On the top of the mountain, snipers Lin Zisheng and Li Ping lay on both sides of the mountaintop, turning the muzzle of the sniper rifle from time to time to observe the movement in the distance. Wan Lin Mao ran to Lin Zisheng's side and lay down, raised his binoculars and looked around.

Surrounded by mountains, puffs of white cooking smoke were rising on the slopes in the distance, and bursts of the fragrance of rice filled the mountains, and Wanlin, six or seven kilometers away, seemed to smell the aroma.

The surrounding hillside is dotted with low-slung houses, which can be faintly seen to be made of local bamboo or wood, and it is from these scattered roofs that the smoke of the cooking stove rises.

At the foot of the mountain is a basin surrounded by mountains, with a wide mountain path in the middle and two rows of houses on each side. Some people in local costumes have appeared on the streets one after another, some carrying long tools on their backs and walking towards the surrounding hills, and some are in and out of the house, I don't know what they are busy with. Several horse-drawn wagons were slowly moving down the street with full sacks out of the mountain.

The scene in front of you is just as introduced by the guide Lao Liu, this is a small mountain town. Wan Lin looked at the surrounding hillside, and suddenly noticed that the people who came out of the hillside houses seemed to have weapons on their chests. Wan Lin was shocked in his heart, and he didn't understand why there were still armed soldiers stationed in this place? He looked at the surrounding hillside, and the figure walking around was also an armed man with a weapon on his chest.

This is, he heard a slight noise behind him, and turned around to see the guide Lao Liu Zheng bending over. Lao Liu walked to Wan Lin's side and lay down, and Wan Lin asked in a low voice, "Why are there armed people around this town?" ”

Lao Liu took the telescope in Wan Lin's hand and glanced at it and said: "This place has already belonged to the sphere of influence of the Ao Kun Group, and the rooms in the town below are basically shops, dealing in some daily necessities, and also carrying out scattered drug transactions. Behind the surrounding mountains are a number of local indigenous tribes who make a living from hunting. Further afield are some of the farmers who make their living from poppy cultivation."

He took a look at the town himself with a telescope, and then said: "Since there are often disputes between individual customers and sellers in the scattered drug trade, Ao Kun stationed a small number of troops in this area, one is to protect the interests of the locals, and the other is to obtain profits through guò."

Lao Liu returned the telescope to Wan Lin, a trace of worry flashed on his face, and said: "The drug dealers here have very few troops, and the focus is on the indigenous tribes behind the mountains, these people are extremely strong, and they originally used primitive weapons such as knives, guns, and clubs, but now they are also equipped with some modern weapons. Once they are entangled, it is a situation that will not stop dying, and they are extremely grouped and not afraid of death.

He looked at the mountains in the distance and continued: "Many of the warriors of the world's famous Gurkha mercenary groups were recruited from them, and these people can fight well and worship the strong. We should try to avoid conflict with them when we pass through their territory."

Wan Lin nodded, and then said to Lin Zisheng: "Be vigilant", turned around and returned to the cave with Lao Liu.

When everyone woke up from their deep sleep, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and Lao Liu opened his eyes to see that the sunlight outside the cave was shining obliquely into the cave, shining on the team members who were leaning against the wall opposite.

Lao Liu took a closer look at the team members crowded together opposite, and was surprised to find that more than a dozen team members on the opposite side were actually women, everyone stared at the red flower in their hands with wide eyes, and put the red flower to the side of their nose from time to time to smell it.

Yesterday, he had been walking through the dense forest and dark mountain roads, and he only noticed a few female soldiers in the ranks, but he did not notice that there were so many female soldiers in the ranks. A question arose in his heart: "Why did you send so many female soldiers?" What kind of troops is this group of people? ”

He looked at the female soldiers opposite him and suddenly smiled, these female soldiers had obviously secretly picked a few beautiful flowers when they passed by the sea of flowers last night. Although they are dressed in military uniforms, they can't hide the beauty of these girls.

At this time, Wu Xueying, who was on the other side, saw Lao Liu open his eyes and looked at his side, smiled and raised the red flower in his hand and asked, "Uncle Liu, what kind of flower is this?" Why is it so good-looking".

The people around covered their mouths and laughed when they heard her call her "uncle", Lao Liu looked at her with a smile and said: "Hehehe, you don't lose money by calling me uncle, my girl should be as tall as you, I haven't seen her for many years", there was a sense of loss in his words.

Wen Meng's heart twitched violently, she suddenly remembered her father, how could her father not be like this! She understands the suffering of these old national security soldiers, for the safety of the country, these people have long left their small families aside, but each of them is not thinking about their families in their hearts!

Lao Liu's lonely demeanor suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Wu Xueying to answer her question: "This kind of safflower is famous, this is the national flower of this country, do you want to hear its story?" ”

Wu Xueying and the female team members all stood up with red flowers, and sat down in front of Lao Liu in the aisle, Wu Xueying said with a smile: "Of course I think about it, you can say it quickly."

Lao Liu watched a group of little female soldiers come around, looked at Wu Xueying fondly, took the red flower from her hand, and talked eloquently.

It turned out that the flower that the team members saw on the hillside yesterday was called the dragon boat flower, which is commonly known as whooping red because of its flowering period of several months.

The dragon boat flower is very common in the local area, although the flower shape is very beautiful, but what really makes it famous all over the world is because of a local marriage custom called the Inda people. It is said that the ethnic minorities who have lived here for generations in the Lake District have the custom of planting "water gardens". They have lived near the water for generations, and when a daughter is born in their family, they will build a small floating garden out of bamboo and wood on the water near their house, and plant it with dragon boat flowers, and then tie it with ropes.

On the day of her daughter's wedding, the bride dressed in beautiful national costume will sit in this small floating garden with bright flowers, and then the family will gather at the edge of the garden to recite words of blessing, cut the ropes, and let her float down the river until she floats to the side of the groom, who has been waiting downstream, and fishes this garden to the shore, and then walks home with her hands around the bride surrounded by many young men and women holding zinnias in their hands, and walks home to hold a lively wedding.

The dragon boat flower is also famous all over the world for this beautiful and moving custom, so it has been listed as the national flower by MD countries.
