Chapter 51: You in the Clouds
"For example, Long Ji entered Yingya's house with the door upside down. He loves Yingya very much, but as the patriarch, he has several lovers and lives in different bamboo buildings, which is a public matter in the clan, and Yingya will not be unhappy because of this, no one thinks it is inappropriate. ”
Although they "didn't understand", the two girls obviously knew what they were discussing, and they sat next to Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, covering their mouths from time to time, giggling and watching them chat.
"Someone waiting for you, too?"
Lao Zhou smiled, "I am an overseas Chinese in Annan, Annan is a Chinese exclusion, 1.2 million overseas Chinese have suffered heavy casualties, and my parents, wife and children have also been killed." When I first came to Lancang, I was alone, and it was very painful during that time. Later, Mr. Xu made the decision, and I married the daughter of a tribal elder in Sangnu. You tell me? ”
"What about Sister Xu, how can the Long Dai tribesmen thank her?"
"She is the great savior of the entire tribe of Longji, the Emperor. Their elders all refer to her as Guanyin from Northern China, or the Queen Mother of the West, how do you say the Long Dai tribe will thank her? However, her lover Lao Zhu is also in South Asia, but it is not easy to get together. She also objected to the Long Dai tribe doing this, but the situation forced her to do it as a last resort! ”
"You just make it clear that her support is not over, and even she is the one behind the scenes. Holy shit, I don't know the language, isn't that a blockage for us? I even have a feeling that Xu Tianyi wants to use these four stinky girls to monitor and control us. Thinking of the strict discipline of "No. 1" and "No. 2", the punishment of the troops, and the "family law" received in Yujia Village, Lin Tao said with palpitations.
"These two girls, along with Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin, are the pearls of the elders of the clan, and they are well educated. After moving to Vientiane, he attended an international nursing school run by the United Nations Health Organization. They speak English and French, and you can communicate with them in English and French. They are already learning Chinese, and although they don't understand all of our conversations, they should be able to understand the general meaning. ”
"Huh? Can they understand Chinese? Why didn't you say it earlier? Then what we just said, didn't these two dead girls listen to it? Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao's faces were feverish, as embarrassed as if they had been spied on.
The two girls held their arms, giggled and shamed them by scratching their noses.
"Coo-coo", a pigeon whistle came, and two cute little gray doves fell from the sky and landed in front of Mei Xue and Su Ji. The two men cried out in surprise, lovingly picked up the pigeon, and pulled out two notes from the plastic tube on the pigeon's leg. Mei Xue and Su Ji glanced at it, and then handed it to Yu Songyuan.
The note is Xu Tianyi's handwriting, "The hometown made an exception to call, the border was in a round of war, and the sacrifice was too great." Shi and Zhang ordered you to travel to Cologne at night, plan actions, and reduce the pressure on the border! ”
After reading it, Yu Songyuan asked Lin Tao, Long Ji, and Lao Zhou to circulate it again. He knew very well that the enemy and our secret service units were fighting each other's lives in the border areas, and in this kind of tragic spy warfare, the enemy and the enemy would suffer great sacrifices. He can't wait to fly to Cologne right away, lead the team, kill across the border, and fight!
Lin Tao lit a fire and burned the letter and asked, "What kind of letter do you want to write two copies and put two pigeons?" ”
Lao Zhou said, "This is a double insurance, and the tribe has always done this." It's still relatively close to home, and the two little pigeons flew in together. The road is far away, sometimes affected by various reasons, and occasionally there are people who get lost or go missing. ”
Yu Songyuan also wrote two identical notes, rolled them up and put them in a plastic tube on the pigeon's leg. "Hundreds of bandits have been destroyed or co-opted, and four shipwrights have died. Report home to Cologne in a few days! ”
Mei Xue and Su Ji took the little pigeon to the lips and kissed it, and as soon as they raised their hands, the two little pigeons fluttered their wings and flew into the blue sky.
The rest of the voyage will be thrilling. Although Long Ji and Lao Zhou were still nervous, there were no more bandits, stragglers, or river bandits, and the voyage turned into a sightseeing tour.
On the left side of the Mekong River, Lancang is a hilly landscape with green trees and countless rice paddies scattered in between. On the right, on the other hand, there is an endless plain of Siam, all of which is planted with rice. At this time, it is the eve of the last crop of rice harvest this year, looking into the distance, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, the breeze is blowing, the golden waves are rolling endlessly, the momentum is magnificent, and it is shocking.
On both sides of the river, like a kaleidoscope, different sections, the scenery is different. The fleet wandered in the picturesque ink scrolls, and in the evening arrived at the other song.
But they were greeted at the Taqua pier by a group of military police officers from the 678th Regiment of Annam, dressed in green uniforms, wearing white armbands on their arms, and carrying guns behind their backs.
The flotilla came to a halt and lowered the gangway, and Longji stood majestically in the bow. The gendarmerie major boarded the boat with his fists clenched and then saluted Longji. "Leader Long, don't come unharmed?"
"He Major Mo has worked hard, this time he has delivered supplies to the forest farm, and brought the two newlywed princesses out to relax, and asked the major to help, don't disturb them!" Longji shook his hand and invited the major to sit down and drink tea.
Mei Xue and Su Ji, accompanied by the two maids, Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, walked out of the cabin in full costume. When he saw it, Major Mo hurriedly stood up and saluted. Mei Xue and Su Ji bowed and saluted, and invited the major to sit down and serve tea.
He dared to sit down there Major Mo, he clenched his fists and said, "I am on official business, I dare not disturb the princess, we will leave!" ”
Long Ji didn't stay, but when he saw him off and shook hands, he quietly stuffed a stack of Lancang Kip and Annan shields into the major's hand.
The gendarmes retreated, and in the evening the fleet anchored at the quay of Taqu, ready to unload part of the goods at dawn for the merchants of Taqu, and then marched towards Cologne.
Long Ji said that he was the supreme commander of the garrison in the small city of Annam, and that he had a "personal relationship" with him. The fleet had the pass he provided, and it would be safe to enter Cologne, and the garrisons along the way would not harass them.
After the big ship was all moored, Long Ji ordered two seriously injured and several lightly injured people to be transferred to the hospital in Taqu for treatment, and the local personnel of the Long Dai tribe were responsible for caring for and guarding them. When they return, they will be brought back to Vientiane for treatment.
The fleet stopped for a while, and as soon as the wounded were transferred, several colorful and colorful Siamese boats rowed over. There are colorful lights hanging on the boat, and a row of young and beautiful South Asian girls, scantily dressed, scratching their heads, and looking very coquettish, line up to welcome guests on board.
Long Ji wanted to invite Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao, and Lao Zhou to drink flower wine and thank them for destroying the rout on the way. But he didn't expect that his hot face was attached to the cold ass. As soon as he opened his mouth to say what he meant, Lin Tao changed color, "You fuck, it's just nonsense!" ”
After Lin Tao finished scolding, he lit a cigarette, went straight to the shore, and walked away. The sudden change made Mei Xue stunned. She saw Lin Tao walking ashore alone, and quickly asked Su Ji to take Monroe and several armed boatmen to follow closely.
Long Ji was extremely embarrassed, he was stunned, not knowing what he was wrong. Yu Songyuan explained, "Brother Long, we understand your kindness. But if you think about it, the shipwrights live and die with us, and we share weal and bound, and it is not appropriate for us to go to drink flower wine and leave them behind. Why, tonight, we will feast on our own boat, and let the flower boat give us a few pieces of music to cheer us up, and cheer up the boatmen, what do you think? ”
With the steps down, Long Ji and Lao Zhou both said that this method was good. So he sent someone ashore to the hotel to order food, took it to the boat for a banquet, and said yes to the flower boat, and asked them to provide a complete set of musical accompaniment. As for the price, it is guaranteed to be more than eating flower wine.
The dishes were all delivered in a while, and Longji asked the boatmen to bring a few jars of plantain wine to prepare for a feast on the whole ship. Before the banquet, Lin Tao and Su Ji held hands, and Little Monroe held Su Ji's hand, and the three of them came back happily. Long Ji ignored his previous suspicions, took the initiative to meet him, and lit a cigarette for Lin Tao very graciously.
During the dinner, Long Ji, Mei Xue, and Su Ji accompanied Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao, and Lao Zhou, and opened their bellies to drink wine and eat meat. The boatmen also had a few tables, and from time to time someone came to toast them. The four of them also toasted together at each table. It was really a good idea, and the morale of the entire fleet was high, and Longji's blood was boiling when he saw it.
The so-called doing one line and one line of work, this flower boat does not all rely on "selling meat" to survive, music, singing and dancing are also good. Long Ji is the big boss, a celebrity in Lancang, he has enough money, and the flower boat is responsible for playing, which is a complete Siamese folk band. They played traditional Southeast Asian folk music diligently, which made the shipwrights and dock workers in the port listen to it with fascination.
Huachuan was not unhappy because they didn't prostitute, on the contrary, out of respect for them, more than a dozen little girls who "sold meat" all changed into national costumes and sang and danced vigorously. The towering bun, the slender waist and hips, the charming small tube skirt, and the traditional folk dance with unique Southeast Asian ethnic characteristics show the intoxicating ethnic customs of the Indochina Peninsula.
The music of the band is elegant, the performance is quite high, and the girls dance to the rhythm of the music. The most commendable thing is the dancing posture of these girls, the amplitude of their dance movements is generally not large, one move and one style, every move, elegant posture, very rhythmic, and the dance level is extremely high. Throughout the night, the messy harbor turned into a sea of joy.
The music and dancing are good, and the singing voice is even more amazing. A row of girls held a krathong in their hands, and the candles inside were lit. They dance to melodious music with a smaller range of movements. A beautiful girl walked out of the queue while dancing and singing in non-standard Chinese:
"Year after year, with whom the long night is shared; The scenery of the garden is still so verdant; Gradually, the cold wind is in a hurry, and the merciless wind blows away, and my lover's shadow is gone. Who do you want to sing to the love of the past? Secretly hidden in the heart, the affection is in the void......
Flowers bloom and fall, and the tide comes and goes; How many years of waiting, who knows that Lu Daomeng'er is also lonely. Come and hope, come and call, call your lover, don't hide in the clouds! Lovers want to tell their hearts, and love loves to praise. Thousands of mountains and rivers are heavy, and the ends of the world meet again......
Lovers want to tell their hearts, and love loves to sing! Thousands of mountains and rivers are heavy, and the ends of the world and the two places meet again......"
