Chapter 18 The Green Shirts of Africa
018 Chapter 18 The Green Shirts of Africa
The woman in green that Wang Xiaoyu was thinking about in his sleep was named Yang Xue, 22 years old this year, and was the only daughter of Yang Guoqing, the owner of Yangjiazhai. The owner of the village did not want his daughter's life to be submerged in this mountain village, so he sent her to study abroad when she was in high school, and after graduating from university, she joined an animal protection organization to work in the Gelentia National Park in Tanzania, Africa.
Yang Xue studied zoology in college, and at the same time studied a veterinary major, which is the counterpart of animal protection and has strong business ability. She has a cheerful personality, beautiful and generous, and the place where she appears is always laughing and full of joy. Because she often wears a green shirt, the people of the steppe call her the green shirt of Africa. This is derived from Hemingway's work "The Green Mountains of Africa", which in the mouth of the locals means that it is an angel who protects animals.
This is the first time she has gone back to her hometown for vacation after joining the work, and she always keeps running into the chaotic camp, which makes the owner of Yang Zhai worried, after all, it is not peaceful here. One of the purposes of Yang Zhai's sending his daughter abroad is to let his daughter leave this war-torn place and work and study in a peaceful environment, but she didn't expect her to go to Africa again, which is a more chaotic place than Mianbei, with constant conflicts, perennial wars, and countless refugees. Although she did several jobs and asked Yang Xue to leave Africa, she had fallen deeply in love with the savannah, and no matter what Yang Zhai said, she could not shake her determination.
The owner of Yang Zhai also knows that the child is too big to be a mother, and the more oppressive, the more he may resist. However, Yang Xue has only one Xiaoqin by his side, and two young girls are in turbulent Africa, and all difficulties make him feel at ease. Since she can't call back, she has to strengthen the security around her.
Therefore, as soon as Yang Xue came back from the refugee camp today, she was called by the owner of Yang Zhai, and Xiaoqin stood quietly at the door of the study and waited.
In the study, Yang Zhai said: "Daughter, your vacation will end in a few days, do you want to consider your father's opinion again and leave Africa?" ”
Yang Xue said: "Dad, let me tell you once again, the animals there can't do without me, and I can't do without that beautiful prairie." I would like to remind you once again that this is my profession and my career, so how can I give up so easily? ”
Yang Zhai said: "But Africa is very chaotic, the day before yesterday Xiaoqin told me that the photographer of your aid station was killed by poachers last month, why don't you tell your father to worry?" You love animals, I don't disagree, but there are kangaroos and koalas in Australia that need your rescue. Wouldn't it make more sense for you to go back to China to rescue South China tigers or Asian elephants? ”
Yang Xue said: "The places you mentioned are legally bound and managed by ZF, and the situation is a hundred times better than in Africa." Have you ever thought that we have only 30 people in the aid station, but we are responsible for 3,000 square kilometers of prairie? Millions of animals live on it, and such a small number of people can't manage it. Forty years ago, there were 3,000 black rhinos on the grasslands, and now less than 30 have been killed, and if we don't step up our protection, they will disappear from the face of the earth. ”
I don't know how many times I have had such a father-daughter conversation, but not only did I not convince Yang Xue, but I was almost persuaded by her several times. Lord Yang Zhai sighed and said, "Okay, since I can't convince you, I have to strengthen the security work for you, and when you set off the day after tomorrow, bring Yang Dali's militia platoon with you." ”
"Dad!" Yang Xue stomped her feet and said: "I'm going to rescue animals, not to go to the battlefield to fight, how can I take the army there?" Besides, they are sovereign countries, and private armed forces are not allowed to enter and leave at will. ”
Lord Yang shook his head and said, "I won't compromise this time!" For your safety, at least Yang Dali chooses a few clever people to accompany you, otherwise I will never agree! ”
Yang Xue thought about it, she and Xiaoqin are both women, and some heavy work is really inconvenient, and those black Africans at the aid station are hairy, and it is still helpful to bring one or two men to the past. Just said, "Okay, let Yang Dali bring an assistant with me."
Lord Yang sighed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you must be careful!" ”
"Yes!" Yang Xue turned around and retreated.
As soon as she came out of the door of the study, Xiaoqin said a little embarrassedly: "Miss, we will go back to Africa the day after tomorrow, don't we want to bring more people over?" I don't know if it's okay to bring one more person? ”
Yang Xue asked, "Who?" ”
Xiaoqin said: "My cousin, Li Qiancheng." ”
Yang Xue said: "Oh, there is an impression, is it the cousin you said last time that you encountered a landmine?" ”
Xiaoqin said: "Yes, my uncle and aunt have passed away, and he is alone on this boundary line, no one cares about him, and sooner or later he will learn badly." ”
Yang Xue said: "Okay, since Yang Dali is going to follow, there is not one more than your cousin!" ”。
In the next two days, instead of going to the refugee camp, Yang Xue went around her family's various industries, where the lumber and furniture factories were doing well, and the chicken and pig farms were expanding. He didn't want to accept these businesses himself, but was doing research and listening to the opinions of the workers, hoping to give his father some reasonable suggestions before leaving, and fulfill his responsibilities as a daughter.
On this day, Yang Xue did not go to the refugee camp again, because she was going to leave tomorrow, she took Xiaoqin to clean up her father's study, and then came to her father's bedroom, and removed the sheets and bedding to wash them. Her mother died early, and her father did not have a woman to take care of her, so it was inevitable that she would make a man's common disease. Although he invited an old mother to take care of his father's life, there are still many unsatisfactory places, such as the bed sheets washed by the old mother, which did not meet Yang Xue's standards.
Suddenly, Yang Xue heard two dog barks outside the courtyard gate, and hurried footsteps were coming, she looked up and saw that a black tower-like figure blocked half of the courtyard gate, and the two-meter-high courtyard gate looked too short in front of him, bowed his head and bent down into the courtyard, only to see that he was covered with thick black hair, more than two meters tall, and his two tendon arms were thicker than Yang Xue's waist. A pair of thick hairy legs reminded Yang Xue of King Kong in the national park, but it was much stronger than King Kong, and only the adult African male elephant could compare with it, making people feel like a majestic giant spirit god. After a closer look, I realized that he had nostrils facing the sky, his ears were blowing, his yellow and black teeth, and the corners of his mouth were still flowing with a hara, but he was an extremely ugly man.
Yang Xue couldn't help but blurt out: "Fool, why are you here?" ”
Before she could finish speaking, a person came out of the armpit of the extremely ugly man, with four crooked braids on his head, a few blades of grass in his hair, and two bloody marks on his fresh face that were scraped by thatch, and shouted, "Sister Snow!" "Rushing here.
Seeing the person who came, Yang Xue asked in astonishment: "Girl, why are you here too?" ”
This little girl is Xiao Camellia, and in a few breaths, she ran to Yang Xue, hugged her and cried. Yang Xue hurriedly coaxed her not to cry and asked her what was going on, but the more she cried, the worse she became, her nose and tears dyed Yang Xue's green clothes one after another. Yang Xue grew up watching this crazy girl, even the year her mother died, she didn't cry so sadly, this must have happened something major wrong.
Yang Xue hugged her, patted her back gently, no longer persuading, and let her vent to her heart's content.
After a while, the crying slowed down a little, Xiaoqin hurriedly pulled her over, wiped away her tears and snot with a tissue, and said softly: "Girl, don't cry, if you have something to say, don't worry, we are still here!" ”
The girl cried out again, hugged Xiaoqin's waist, and said intermittently: "They hit my grandfather with rockets, my grandfather is gone, the base is gone, wow wow wow!" ”
Yang Xue and Xiaoqin were taken aback when they heard this, they also knew that Xiao Shancha and his grandfather, Commander Hong, lived in a secret base of the mercenary alliance, but they didn't even know the specific location of the secret base, how could it be gone? How could Commander Hong not be seen? Who hit them with rockets?
Yang Xue knew the seriousness of the matter, so she had to ask the little girl quickly, so she grabbed the girl's shoulders with both hands, stared at her and said, "Girl, don't cry, tell us, who hit you with a rocket?" ”
The little girl sobbed, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she said intermittently: "It's a special soldier!" It's the special forces of the Wolf Legion! ”
Yang Xue asked again, "What about the base?" Don't you have elite troops in your base too? ”
The little girl said: "The base is gone, it's a waste!" ”
"What about your grandfather?" Yang Xue asked eagerly.
Xiao Shan Cha shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can't find my grandfather, he asked the gray wolf to come out with a note and tell me to come to you." ”
Yang Xue listened to the slump sitting next to the bed, she knew Commander Hong's intention to call Xiao Shancha to find her, that is, Commander Hong thought that there was no hope of breaking through, so he had to entrust Xiao Shancha to Yang Xue, hoping that Yang Xue would bring Xiao Shancha to her sister Azhu.
Xiao Camellia's sister, Ah Zhu, has been doing express delivery business in Lao Cai before. Due to the weakness of Africa's basic industries, many infrastructure projects in Africa now require domestic procurement of raw materials and equipment. Yang Xue believes that this is a potential emerging market, and mobilized Azhu to Africa to engage in logistics half a year ago. So only Yang Xue can take Xiao Camellia to find her sister. There's nothing wrong with this, it's a big deal to take the little girl to Africa. Now it's important to get to the bottom of what's going on.
Yang Xue wiped away Xiao Shancha's snot and tears with a tissue, and helped her sit on the chair. Xiaoqin handed over a cup of hot tea in time, and the little girl cried so much that her mouth was dry, she raised her neck and drank two sips.
Seeing that the little girl's mood gradually stabilized, Yang Xue gently kissed her face and said, "Girl, don't be excited, you slowly explain things to us clearly." ”
With tears in her eyes, the little girl told Yang Xue in detail what had happened in the past two days-
