Chapter 43: The Passage of Life

"Mr. Xu, this thing is very nutritious. After drinking the juice, it is very wonderful to open and eat coconut meat, which is eaten for breakfast. When we were in the training camp, during the wilderness survival class, the instructor taught this thing specifically. Yu Songyuan whispered solemnly.

As he spoke, Yingya kept translating for the elders in Lancang. At this time, Yingya's father said something. Yingya said to Yu Songyuan, "Daddy asked you, we are all climbing up the tree little by little, you are running straight up, why won't it fall?" ”

Yu Songyuan thought for a while, and then said honestly, "This is China's light work, and it can't be dropped!" ”

After Yingya finished translating for the elders, at this time Su Ji's father said a few more words, and Yingya said to Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, "The elders said that the coconut shell is thick and rich in fiber. The endocarp is hard, and the inside is full of embryonic ruin, which is very nutritious. After drinking coconut water, I want to eat the coconut meat inside, is there a way to open it? ”

Lin Tao said, "Of course you can." ”

Xu Tianyi said, "The elders want to test you. As he spoke, he spoke to the elders in Lancang, and the elders nodded their heads when they heard it. Xu Tianyi said to Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, "I told them, this is not a problem for you at all. ”

At this time, most of the elders and couples had finished drinking the coconut water, Mei Xue and Su Ji put the finished coconuts on the table, Lin Tao stepped forward, and with a light palm, he cracked a coconut, gently broke it with his hand, and after a while, all the coconuts were separated.

At this time, the two tribal girls brought a bunch of small stainless steel spoons, and put a handful in each coconut. The elders and their wives happily took the coconut and began to eat coconut for breakfast. Several elders were still talking to each other, and Yingya said to Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao, "The elders praise you for being an omnipotent super soldier from China!" ”

Mei Xue and Su Ji's mother, after eating coconut meat, happily hugged Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao's sweaty bodies, touched their stiff and bronzed tendon meat, and hugged their heads, kissed their foreheads, couldn't put it down, and was overjoyed, and looked at her son-in-law as a mother-in-law.

Xu Tianyi jokingly said in Chinese, "This is the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it." ”

Seeing her ill-intentioned appearance, Yu Songyuan felt weak in his heart, and protested in a low voice, "Mr. Xu, I can report to you." Why are you still pimping, this is not a joke, the joke is not made like that. ”

Yingya next to her also heard it, Xu Tianyi and Yingya both covered their mouths and laughed, "How can I listen to this as if I am very proud." The two girls, Mei Xue and Su Ji, also heard it, and they had already blushed and lowered their heads.

Xu Tianyi sighed and said helplessly, "That's it, that's it, I'll admit defeat, don't compete with me, I really let you make enough trouble, and you lose sleep every day." Who can stand it, super neurotic, every day in the morning and evening on time to attack. In a few days' time Longji's fleet will be back, and you can follow the ship into the jungle and make trouble, I can't see it and don't bother. ”

"Sister Xu, we didn't mess with you. Besides, our training is not over yet......" Lin Tao was very happy and said very sincerely.

Xu Tianyi interrupted him, "Go back and wash up, I'll be over when I say it's over!" ”

Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao cheered in their hearts, but on the surface, they looked light. In this game, they won, not only win, but also completely. According to Xu Tianyi's order, the two of them did a backflip, directly "rolled" to the second floor of the bamboo building, and went in to wash.

A week later, in the morning, four large sailboats, with roaring motors, went down the upper Mekong River and approached the Long Dai tribe pier one by one. A stout man, got the boat right, strode onto the dock, hugged Shui Ya and Yingya Xiong who greeted him at the pier, kissed him fiercely, and shook hands with Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao.

"Welcome, welcome! My friend, we are a family, a family! The man obviously knew that they were coming to Lancang, and he greeted them one after another.

This stout man who is about a little more than one meter seven tall must be Yingya's husband Long Jifeng. Among the Lancang men, he belongs to the absolute tall man.

At noon, Yingya, Mei Xue, and Su Ji cooked a lot of Chinese food, and everyone sat on the ground. The man sat cross-legged, while Xu Tianyi, Yingya, Xiao Shuiya, and the two girls sat on their knees very elegantly, putting their feet to the side.

Yingya is undoubtedly the head of the family, she instructed Long Ji to move out the two jars of banana wine, break the mud seal, and then plug in a few bamboo pipes, one for each person, and drink at the same time, which is a special fun.

Yingya's Chinese cuisine is well done, but it also has a strong Lancang flavor, and each dish has a slight sour and spicy taste. The most distinctive thing is the grilled whole fish, which is fresh, fragrant, tender and crispy, and wonderful. When eating, use fresh lettuce to spread a few traces of rice noodles, then put a few mint vegetables, plus a few leaves that are not named, and then add some grilled fish meat that is the protagonist of this dish, and then pour a special seasoning water with a stainless steel spoon, wow, it is so fragrant!

The wine is delicious, the food is delicious, the people are beautiful, everything is so beautiful, so poetic. However, sleeping at night was an ordeal for Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao.

After dinner, the impatient Longji entered the inner room early with Yingya in his arms, closed the door tightly, and began to do the couple's homework. Xu Tianyi also returned to his dormitory building with Shui Ya in his arms, and saw that Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao were both reading, so he put Xiao Shui Ya on the bed in his room and slept well, and also walked into their room.

Seeing their questioning eyes, Xu Tianyi smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, Long Ji and Yingya Xiao Biesheng are newly married, and Shui Ya can only sleep with me at night." ”

"You lady, you're really home."

"Of course, I already regard Xiao Shuiya as my own daughter......"

Lin Tao said: "Sister Xu, we are about to go to the forest farm to fight. Little brother, let me make an excessive request, can you pull off your mask and let us both see your true face? You wear a mask all day, can't it be because you're ugly? ”

"Little bastard, knowing that Lu Dao is an excessive request, you still mention it, aren't you afraid that I will throw you out of Lu?!"

Xu Tianyi said cruel words in his mouth, but he still didn't bother with Lin Tao. She returned to her room, and came back again, and what Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao saw was a young face that was completely different from the day.

Xu Tianyi is not trying to prove her appearance to the two little hairy heads, tomorrow the brothers' team will go on the expedition, it will be a thrilling journey to the death of the fish, and she doesn't want any confrontation between the two sides before they set off. Besides, she also needs to explain it to them in detail.

Although it is not as beautiful as Xiao Yuchan, Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao clearly see a young, bright, delicate, white, and feminine youthful face.

Lin Tao began to be poor again, "Sister, you are so young and beautiful, you cover your little face all day long, and wear such an old-fashioned mask, it is simply a waste of beautiful resources." Besides, if you wear it all day, it's not good for your skin! ”

"The living environment here is complex, frightening, and full of traps. What can you do about it? Besides, this one of mine is different from what you usually use, it is the latest technology product in the world, breathable, and does not hurt the skin. ”

Several bamboo buildings are not far from each other, and the movement of Longji and Yingya on the next floor is too big and too big, even the violent shaking sound of the bamboo bed "squeaking", all of which are heard from each other, as if they are next door. Xu Tianyi was a young woman in the end, her head lowered and her face flushed, and Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao also felt embarrassed and didn't dare to look at her.

"The Longdai tribesmen have an open attitude towards the life of the husband and wife, and they are more public, which is a manifestation of the good relationship between the husband and wife. They think it's honorable, and it's not something that needs to be kept secret. This is completely different from our own country. Don't care, just follow the locals. ”

At this moment, the low chirping of pigeons was heard outside. Lao Zhou brought a pigeon in, and Xu Tianyi took off the plastic roll on the pigeon's leg and said, "Lao Zhou will accompany you tomorrow." ”

Xu Tianyi took out the piece of paper in the plastic tube, looked at it, and handed it to Yu Songyuan. Yu Songyuan picked it up and looked at it, only to see that it was written, "Attacked by locals, the threat has been lifted." ”

He was puzzled, "What does this mean?" ”

"It's a safety signal. A few months ago, the president of our Naga, who was suspected of being a Chinese agent, was unfortunately arrested while doing business work in the territory of Annam. Liu Guodong's group was ordered to leave Cologne and infiltrate Annan from Sangnu to meet them. After they left, the logging yard of our Cologne forest farm was seized by other local tribes. The implication of this information is that these tribes have been driven out by the forest farm workers. ”

"Can't you send a telegram?"

"In case of emergency, we usually use carrier pigeons. There are a large number of Annan troops stationed in Lancang, and the Annan army has the scientific and technological support of the polar bear Baimaozi army, and there is a risk that telegrams are sometimes measured. It's not that we're not afraid to measure the location, and now the average commercial company uses a telegraph. We used to send letters with carrier pigeons, sometimes more reliable than telegrams. ”

"Sister Xu, Naga has 300 square kilometers of primeval rainforest in his hands, and he has a lot of money, so he can buy some modern communication equipment." Lin Tao sighed.

"That's right, not long after Lancang became independent, our Mr. Xu bought it at a low price. Now how many times the value has increased, and the eyes of all tribes are red. If you have a lot of money, you are afraid of thieves, and now there are more and more tribal disputes. Lao Zhou complained.

Xu Tianyi ignored Lin Tao's words, pointed to the map on the wall, and began to teach Ji Yi, "All countries in South Asia have not been independent for a long time, and the law and order are chaotic. The Mekong waterway is not only the lifeline of Naga's rebirth, but also the lifeline of whether you can successfully complete your larger mission. The significance is self-evident, and I have a basic request, that is, to let the bandits along the river take the initiative to make a detour when they hear the name of the Longi fleet, and not to enter Siam itself to suppress the bandits. ”

Lifeline, Lifeline!

Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao chewed on Xu Tianyi's words, and the meaning in the conversation was certainly not difficult to understand. At present, Annam is clearing the Khmer armed forces and guerrillas in Khmer, and the border forests and mountainous areas of Siam and western Khmer are the only way to assist the resistance groups at present. It is the first task of the Naga Group to eradicate the bandits and protect our intergovernmental cooperation with Siam, which is why it is said to be the lifeline.

The reason why it is said to be a life passage is because this mission is also related to whether the brother team can exchange the smallest sacrifice for the greatest victory when they go to South Asia! Because the Mekong River runs through the South Asian Delta, as long as the Longji merchant fleet can navigate the Mekong River autonomously and safely, the brother team has the initiative to operate. It can be seen in the south by the Khmer, in the west by Siam and Honsavady, and in the east by the hinterland of Annam......
