405. Chapter 55 (2) Asking for help
From a distance, I can't see what the two people walking towards this house look like, I can only roughly tell that there is a man and a woman walking towards the house, both of them seem to be trying their best to avoid encountering other people nearby, when these two people came to the vicinity of the courtyard, one walked into the small courtyard enclosed by a half-human height earthen wall, and the other person stayed outside to observe, and saw that there was nothing unusual and then flashed into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, a man in his fifties with a gray beard who was squatting on the ground picking up a two-wheeled wooden cart turned his head in surprise to look at the two uninvited guests who broke in, his eyes were full of panic, at this moment, a middle-aged woman dragged a huge tray full of dry and hard food out of the house, and immediately stunned on the spot when he saw the scene in the yard, and the food tray in his hand fell directly to the ground.
The woman saw the two uninvited guests coming in with a gun pointed at them.
One of the men who came in looked at the courtyard and put their index fingers to their lips and made a silent gesture, and then he quickly entered the house, inspected the only two dilapidated houses in the house, inside and out, and then returned to the courtyard again.
"Can you understand what I'm saying?"
When the man in front of him, who was wrapped in a burqa, lifted the burqa off his head, the half-aged couple in the courtyard were even more surprised, and it was a young oriental girl who asked them.
It was Liang Qing who came in, and the other person who came with her was Zhai Mingyi.
Seeing that these two people were still looking at him blankly, Liang Qing's emotions fell to the bottom, and he hadn't told them before that in these countries around this area, English is also an official designated language, but it may not be very popular in some remote areas, before coming down from the mountain, Liang Qing bluffed in his heart, hoping that the residents of this family can understand English, even if it is only a little bit.
"Excuse me, can you understand my question? Do you know English? I need your help. ”
Despite some desperation, Liang Qing slowed down his speech and repeated his question again, gesturing as he spoke, hoping that the two people in front of him could figure out what he meant.
"Yes, a little bit, we can understand, you need help, but please don't hurt us."
The middle-aged man in front of him stammered and replied, the woman next to the man was afraid that the two people in front of him would not believe their words, so she held the man's arm and nodded vigorously, hearing such a response, which suddenly made Liang Qing and Zhai Mingyi, who were almost desperate, very excited.
Judging from the demeanor, demeanor and tone of speech of these two people, Liang Qing judged that this was an ordinary Zhuang family, and after roughly figuring out the details of this family, Liang Qing did not hide it, and directly told his own experience.
"One of us is injured and urgently needs to return to our camp for treatment, but some mercenaries have been chasing after us, and we hope that you will escort us out of this village, of course, we will not let you help in vain."
Liang Qing said, took out a wad of dollars and handed it to the middle-aged man, but unexpectedly, the middle-aged man waved his hand and shook his head urgently, and kept talking in his mouth, after listening for a long time, Liang Qing roughly figured out what the other party meant.
Yesterday evening, after sensing that the rescue team had crossed the small village and entered the mountains during the prayer of the faint prayer, Abu led his men to the place overnight after admonishing the armed men there.
"Abu, I think it's safer to have some of our people with them, you say?"
Along the way, Tony still expressed his concern about Abu's arrangement.
Abu waved his hand and said:
"Tony, you're still a professional, have we suffered less on the way from the camp to here? Follow their people's farts ~ chase down, if you don't get it, you will fall into their tricks, they are in the dark, we are in the light, and in the middle of the night, it will take us a lot of energy to identify the traces and chase all the way, we might as well grab them in front of them to intercept them, no matter which mountain they climb, if they want to enter the territory of Iraq, they can't avoid the town in front, which is the only place to go to Iraq, and an armed force guarding there has also cooperated and interacted with me, Ask them to help secure the passage, while we hide in the shadows, and if we find any trace of these people, we won't be too late to strike. ”
After finding the armed leader and patriarch of the town overnight, Abu told the truth about his request, and after listening to Abu's account, the leader was silent for a while, and then he shook his head slightly.
"Abu, we are friends, please forgive me, I have heard some things that happened to you in the past two days, we have cooperated before, but this time we are afraid it will be difficult for us to help you, you must know that what you are going to hunt down is definitely not some ordinary armed men, the forces behind these people are unfathomable."
"A few days ago, we received a message from a general manager under the tribal leader behind us that a mercenary controlled by the Mi people had kidnapped one of their chief's distinguished guests from them and fled, and the patriarch there had sent a secret message to the surrounding armed forces, asking us to help capture this armed group, and they would take revenge for this humiliation anyway, Abu, if I guessed correctly, you did it, right?"
"News came again during the day today, saying that your camp had been taken away, and that an unidentified commando had taken several hostages from you and disappeared into the mountains, and then we received again from the chief of the tribe that we should assist in finding this commando that had retreated into the mountains, and that this commando team composed of Orientals was also the honored guest of the patriarch, and that we must not embarrass them, Abu, I can also conclude this matter, The person you're chasing now is the same group as the tribal chief's guests, right? ”
Abu was about to explain, but the leader stopped Abu with a wave of his hand.
"Abu, don't explain, I don't want to know the truth of this matter, you know very well, we are different from you, we are guarding our homes, with our strength we can't fight against the big tribe behind us, we can't turn against our powerful neighbors for other people's affairs, but we don't want to snub your old friend, we are all relatively stable here now, and I don't want to make a mess here for the sake of outsiders, to be honest, even if the person you are looking for really runs here, I won't allow you to do anything with us, please don't embarrass me. ”
The leader rejected Abu's request that he had not yet exited, which also made Abu realize that this time it was really a big trouble, and the power of that huge tribe Abu knew very well that he had risked a lightning robbery of Faisal from there before, relying on surprise, even if Tavares and Dasco both died there, Abu had no plan to go back for revenge.
"Well, if you have your worries, then I won't force you anymore, I just have a request, once these people come to the territory under your control, I don't ask you to exterminate them, you just don't help them, those of them have been running all the way to fight, and the reserves of weapons, ammunition and food are probably reaching the limit, as long as they don't get enough replenishment from you, I can't be grateful, as for leaving your territory, whether I can catch them as I wish, it depends on my creation, I'm not asking too much. ”
In the past, Abu acted in this area that was the lord of the wind and rain, but I didn't expect that only this two days of work, Abu is already difficult to show the majesty of the past, the news that has spread in the past few days has confirmed an indisputable fact, Abu has been greatly injured, the sphere of influence in this area is afraid to be redivided, no one will be stupid enough to fight for a down-and-out person to fight a fish to the net to break, take the opportunity to make themselves bigger in this area, is the common idea of some powerful tribe armed forces in this area.
"Abu, since your words have come to this, then I can also assure you that I will not let those people get any help from me, if they break into here, I will do my best to keep them out of the manor, I don't think those people will be stupid enough to force their way here, I will arrange my men and horses at various points here early tomorrow morning, and let some patrol teams patrol the town non-stop, those people don't know if I will help you, the smart thing is to take a detour, After me there is a narrow strip of land, and it is a good place for you to stop them, but I do not promise you that they will definitely go that way, and as for whether you can still see their shadows, you can only ask Allah to bless you. ”
The place that the leader said Abu knew that it was indeed the best place to set up an ambush and intercept it, and he thought that this leader could help himself and consume the personnel and ammunition of this team, but now it seems that he can only rely on himself, and there is one thing that still makes Abu somewhat confident, that is, the weapons and ammunition of this rescue team should be almost consumed, and he only needs to consume the last bit of capital of these people now, at that time, they are all tigers, and without teeth, he can't go anywhere.
Abu led his men through the village overnight, and after leaving the town, Abu ordered Qiao to lead his people to the location of the choke point and lurked, and at the same time, Abu sent many people to wait at the entrances and exits and the main roads in and out of the village, so as to monitor the passers-by in order to determine the whereabouts of the commando team as soon as possible.
After Abu arranged all this, in the dead of night, he and Alan reflexively sneaked back to this village, and without anyone noticing, quietly knocked on the door of the house and slipped in, and when Abu came out again, the sky had begun to white.
