Chapter 10: Wedding Flowers Sprinkled All Over the City (Part II)

"In Somalia, because of the serious division of armed warlords, local officials have considerable decision-making power, and when their interests conflict, they will even directly refuse the orders of their immediate superiors, in this case, even if the Somali government is under pressure from other countries to exterminate us pirates, as long as we can pay enough 'protection money' to buy off local officials and those armed warlord leaders, we will naturally be fine."

Kabeline smiled indifferently, but couldn't hide the sarcasm and disdain in her eyes, "From last year to now, in the past twelve months, all our pirates have earned more than 150 million dollars in ransom, and everyone knows that we have made a lot of money, if we only care about our own happiness and ignore those armed warlords who also hold guns in their hands, sooner or later they will launch a surprise attack on Eller because of their anger, it is better to take out the money to buy a safe and sound." This is also the suggestion that more than a dozen senior staff members of the organization's think tank finally gave us after a 'brainstorming' discussion, and finally based on computer deduction......"

Speaking of this, Kai Belin's words only stopped abruptly halfway, but Shi Shaoying's eyes suddenly lit up.

From Kai Belin's words, it is not difficult to deduce a theory: Somali pirates were originally just a group of rabble, but in the early or middle stage of development, they received help from a certain organization, and carried out systematic integration in team composition, risk assessment, efficiency integration, etc., so that Somali pirates grew little by little in the cracks to what they are now.

Only in this way will some places become logical...... When a group of fishermen with a very low level of education and quite xenophobic for historical reasons pick up their guns and go into the sea to become pirates, how can they show such a "civilized" and "gentle" side to the hostages when they are faced with prey that are as well-behaved as sheep in their hands, and who have mastered the power of life and death, without even going through a necessary process of development and learning?!

Seeing that Kai Belin already showed a vigilant look on her face, Shi Shaoying also knew that if she continued to ask questions on this issue, there would be no result. Shi Shaoying put away the small notebook in his hand, and then peeked at Kai Belin from the corner of his eye, and sure enough, her face gradually softened.

"I finally know why this city is so prosperous."

Shi Shaoying put his hands behind his head and sighed: "You only collect cash, because you clearly know that what you are doing is not legal, and you have no sense of security in your heart, after getting this money, no one will stupidly deposit it in the bank, unless you leave Somalia, otherwise the only way for you to deal with this money is to spend it!" In this way, a large number of luxury consumption industries have emerged around you, which has led to the rapid development of the local economy and the formation of the prosperous city in front of us. ”

"Yes," Cabelyn said, looking at the young girls on both sides of the street, whose eyes always fell on the pirates, "they all know that these pirates are still poor and penniless, but maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, there will be a millionaire among them, and they will also get out of their current poverty by marrying a rich man." ”

"The vast majority of girls in northern Somalia want to marry a pirate. ”

"On the flip side, the vast majority of Somali men would also like to marry a female pirate, especially a beautiful and sympathetic female pirate leader."

Shi Shaoying suddenly whistled lightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the windshield in front of him, and smiled: "Look, your admirer has already placed a courtship array in front." ”

Kai Belin gave Shi Shaoying a fierce look, but when her gaze subconsciously followed the direction of Shi Shaoying's finger, she was surprised to find that the road in front of her was blocked.

A display frame made of aluminum alloy swaggers across the road, only pedestrians can walk on both sides, and on this display shelf, which is at least 30 meters in size, hangs a huge photograph printed by an advertising colorjet machine.

The owner of the photograph is Kabeline.

The photograph was probably the work of a professional photographer, and the sun was setting, and the entire Indian Ocean seemed to be coated with a golden glow, reflecting the splendor and magnificence of the stars as the waves rippled in the water.

Cabeline stood quietly on the pier looking into the distance, the breeze blew her long red hair, lifted the corners of her skirt, she may be enjoying the baptism of the sea breeze and the sunset, she opened her arms widely, and let more sunlight gently imprint on her face in the slight lifting of her chin, with the shutter flickering, the agility of the wind and the beauty of the sun, plus the beauty of Cabeline itself, were kneaded together like a wonderful hand, forming a most beautiful landscape.

Seeing such a huge photo showing the "beauty" of her body to the fullest, Cabeline frowned, and let out a soft snort with strong disgust in her mouth, obviously she already knew who was putting on such a big posture to show her love.

Shi Shaoying looked at everything in front of him, and let out a series of sighs from his mouth that made Cabelyn almost burst out and hurt people: "You admirer is really amazing, dare to block the road in the pirate's den, and no one has come forward to provoke until now, this kind of rampant domineering is really not ordinarily strong." ”

Kabeline bit her lip and suddenly said coldly, "Get out of the car!" ”

After saying this, ignoring Shi Shaoying, Kai Belin took the lead in getting out of the car and bowed to an old man wearing a white shirt and a white bowler hat on his head, but he still looked in good spirits. It's not just Kabeline, almost everyone on the street who saw the old man paid homage to him in the same way.

The old man and a young girl who was supporting her beside him, Shi Shaoying actually felt a little familiar. Seeing that more and more people who were similar in appearance always appeared behind the old man, Shi Shaoying suddenly slapped his head fiercely.

Before entering Somalia, Shi Shaoying once found a news on the Internet that was enough to make him stunned, a 112-year-old Somali man married a 17-year-old girl two months ago. This old man, who is enough to shame the vast majority of his male compatriots to death, has married five wives in his life, and now has 18 children, more than 90 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and a total of 114 descendants.

At the sixth wedding, he married a girl who was ninety-five years younger than him, and even declared with great ambition that he was still in good spirits and full of strength, and that he planned to have more children with his new wife after marriage.

Such a "wedding of the century", with an age difference of nearly a century, shocked Somalia and even the whole world, causing huge controversy. Some experts believe that while such marriages are in line with Somali law and customs, too much age difference between husband and wife can easily create a generation gap and affect the quality of life. There are also some people who believe that true love can break through the limits of age.

But more Somalis have developed a worship for this old man. The reproduction of offspring is the foundation of the survival of a race, especially in a country like Somalia, where the population density is extremely low and the average life expectancy is only 40 years old, the story of this old man is not only news, but to some extent has even faintly become a kind of alternative "national hero". The respect and adoration of all men for him is equivalent to the worship of the reproductive organs of mankind when it was still in a matrilineal clan society.

Finding that the pedestrians on the side of the road were glaring at him with vicious eyes, Shi Shaoying immediately jumped out of the car and bent down at the old man like everyone else. But even in this case, Shi Shaoying's eyes were still rolling around with excitement.

Kebeline's admirers made an astonishing move, inviting the centenarian and hundreds of his immediate descendants to Elle in a small village in central Somalia, and the time and money spent can be imagined.

It may have been someone commanding by radio, and suddenly the windows on both sides of the street were opened, and the rain of flowers flew over the entire street, turning Shi Shaoying's surroundings into a sea of flowers. One only has to look at the young girls on the street who are eager to rush up to replace Kabeline, and you can know how much shock this hand is to the young girl who is still living in poverty.

Faced with this situation, Shi Shaoying must sigh, money is really a fucking good thing.

In Chinese mainland, ordinary people can only earn 2,000 yuan a month after working tiringly, gritting their teeth and taking out 500 yuan to buy a gift for their girlfriend, but they are no match for a diamond ring that a rich child buys from a jewelry building at will. Some women will justifiably say that a man's willingness to spend money for them represents his heart, but they don't think that a commoner's boyfriend gave her an ordinary dress used a quarter of her salary, deducting living expenses, transportation expenses, mobile phone expenses, and all kinds of messy but inevitable expenses, and the five hundred yuan may be all the money he can squeeze out; And the diamond ring of the rich children is even just their pocket money for a day.

Relatively speaking, Shi Shaoying would rather like the woman who dared to face the camera in the variety show and frankly said that "I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh in my own car". Although it hurt the man's self-esteem and caused anger, at least she told the truth.

Cheerful music suddenly came from behind the huge photograph, and the admirer who was already hated by Kabeline even invited a band from abroad, and then some young women in dresses came out of two rows behind the huge photograph with trays, and the trays in their hands were filled with all kinds of sweets and cigarettes, and anyone could reach out and enjoy them.

The children let out happy screams, and even the men couldn't help but stretch out their hands and take the cigarettes from the tray, and for a while, the whole street was full of joyful laughter, so that Shi Shaoying completely understood what the pleasure of smashing people with money was!

Shi Shaoying slowly walked up to Kai Belin and whispered, "I know why you don't like him anymore." ”

Kai Belin's expression remained unchanged, but she glanced at Shi Shaoying: "Oh? ”

"He put up that picture to block your way; He invited the 100 old men and more than 100 children and grandchildren to come over, and to put it bluntly, the ultimate goal is to force you to get out of the car; He sprinkled flowers all over the streets and distributed gifts everywhere in order to win a large number of supporters and form public opinion pressure. His behavior seems to be showing love to you, and he really does not hesitate to spend his money, but he is forced to leave no room for it, completely ignoring your feelings! I even have a feeling that he is not only showing love, but also demonstrating! ”

Speaking of which, Shi Shaoying made a final summary: "His biggest mistake was to use the method of dealing with sheep to try to conquer a female tiger!" ”

A look of surprise flashed from Kai Bellain's face, she really didn't expect Shi Shaoying to see so much in such a short period of time. Seeing Shi Shaoying's face of taking the initiative to stand on his side, Kai Belin replied in a low voice: "If you see him himself, you will understand that the reason why I hate him is definitely not limited to this!" ”

"Smack! Syllable! Smack......"

Xiao Lihua's voice suddenly sounded in a row, Shi Shaoying's eyes widened, and he tried to look forward in the smoke, and then he saw a young man walking towards them under the cluster of stars and moons.

This man looked to be about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a brand-name suit that was estimated to be less than one or two thousand dollars, and when he walked, he deliberately put his left hand on his forehead.

Shi Shaoying dared to bet with anyone that for today's show of love, this young man must have asked a professional coach to teach him to learn the model steps when the model walked on the catwalk, walking, twisting, twisting, swinging, swinging and then stepping, just twisting and swinging and swinging across and stopping, with his left hand that is always placed on the forehead, forming a rather stage-like artistic step.

What made Shi Shaoying almost burst out laughing on the spot was that this young man was still talking about a rose named "Blue Enchantress" in his mouth.

Clothes are famous brands, watches are famous watches, rings are good diamonds, flowers are good flowers, and models are also good steps, but when you combine them in a man who is only 165 centimeters tall and has the arrogant expression of a British celebrity at a social ball, there is a kind of monkey and crown funny no matter how you look at it.

But when the young man walked two-thirds of the way on the street, suddenly stopped, picked the "blue enchantress" rose on his lips, and waved it to the people around him in salute, the warm applause turned out to be a whole!

After a moment of surprise, Shi Shaoying also figured out that the vast majority of brothers in Somalia are still struggling to survive, and are still in the enlightenment stage in terms of cultural life and artistic pursuit, and they have enough money and the mood to lead the fashion trend, probably the pirates who burn too much money and dare not put it in the bank.

In the absence of predecessors to learn from, this young and wealthy man thinks that the catwalk of the models is very sexy, James Bond in the movie is very romantic when he dances with beautiful women at the ball, and the actor always puts the watch on his wrist in front of the camera lens no matter how he walks and moves when filming a Rolex brand commercial, and then gathers them all together in a pot of stew, what is not to do?!

Art comes from life, and it needs to be higher than life!

"What the hell is this thing?"

Shi Shaoying was so excited that he blurted out the domestic Internet terms, and it was really difficult for Kabeline to guess Shi Shaoying's question after a little thought, and made the following answer: "His name is Jacques, and his father is the commander of the 'Coast Guard', the largest pirate gang among us, and he is also composed of thirty-five pirate gangs in Eller City." Chairman of the Central Committee, his father is not only in charge of the largest armed forces in our small town, but has now begun to control the timing and order of all of us going to sea, and I think that sooner or later he will swallow us all! ”

The second generation of officials + the second generation of rich + the second generation of pirates + princeling...... No wonder this Mr. Jacques was able to cover the sky in a pirate's den in order to pursue a woman, and behaved so, well, alternatively.

"Looks like you don't like him?"

"Nonsense!" Kai Bryin gave Shi Shaoying a roll of the eyes, "He already has four wives, and he dared to run in front of me to propose, patting his chest and saying that as long as I agree to marry him, he will divorce the four wives in front of him." A man like him, I want to vomit when I see it! ”

"Then let's go, what are you still doing here?"

Shi Shaoying took Caberin's hand and led her to greet Jacques generously. Just when the three of them became the intersection of the public eye, looking at Shi Shaoying and Kai Belin's hands clasped intimately, all the applause and all the noise were frozen in an instant. Only the band hiding behind the huge photograph remains, still playing happy music with due diligence.

When he was about to pass by Jacques, Shi Shaoying stopped, took a cigarette from the tray in the hands of a girl with a dull facial expression, and put it in his mouth.

Shi Shaoying immediately reciprocated, took out another fruit candy from the tray, performed a one-handed trick of removing the candy paper in public, and then sent the fruit candy into Kai Beilin's mouth. Finally, he put the fingers that had touched his lips with Kabeline into his mouth and sucked lightly.

At this time, if you can't see the "close" relationship between Shi Shaoying and Kai Belin, then he is either blind or an idiot.

Embarrassment, anger, grievance, resentment, incomprehension...... All kinds of complicated expressions flashed alternately from Jacques's face, looking at his stunned appearance, as if a person was tired and tired of living in society for more than ten years, and finally saved a little wife, and then made a girlfriend, got engaged, paid a bride price, renovated the house, bought a car, worshipped, and was almost tired of becoming a dead dog, and when he could finally enter the cave room to enjoy the "sexual happiness" life, he found that the groom had been replaced!
