Chapter XXXVII

After dinner, Lin Tao originally wanted to go out for a walk, but a young woman and two young men in suits entered their room. The young woman nodded to Xu Tian and sat down indoors. Yu Songyuan understood that from tomorrow, the three of them would replace themselves, Lin Tao, and Xu Tianyi to complete the entire "business trip" in the future.

Xu Tianyi took out three sets of local clothes and asked Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao to go to the bathroom to change in. Both of them wore collarless plaid shirts, washed gauze sarong pants on the bottom, and yellow plastic sandals made in China on their feet. Xu Tianyi, on the other hand, went back to his room and put on a collarless, oblique, blue waist-cinching shirt, a lake-blue white floral skirt on his lower body, and a pair of beautiful white leather sandals.

Walking back, Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao both had an amazing feeling. Xu Tianyi's figure is already angry enough, coupled with this tight shirt and skirt, there is really a "shocking" beauty, which makes people dare not look directly.

"Holy shit, I see. Sister, sister, Lancang's national costumes are really amazing. You said that you were enough to murder a man's eyes, and if you put on this little coat again, ah, the little brother can't do it directly. Woo, my knees are weak! Big brother is really a blessing! Lin Tao looked at Xu Tianyi, who was dressed as a Dai tribe woman, with a willow waist and plump buttocks, and the ruffian came up again.

His words made the three people who had just entered the room laugh. The woman laughed and trembled, but her mouth was open, and the words she said showed that she was not good. "What a little pervert, there are no unserious girls here, you'd better be honest with me!"

Xu Tianyi posed, "This is the costume of the Long Dai tribe, in fact, they are the same nation as the Dai people in my country, and the Dai people in my country are the same as the Bai people, and they are born with beautiful women." The people here are not indigenous, but have migrated from the southern provinces of China from the time after BC until the eve of liberation. Coupled with the original ecological water and soil and humid climate of Lancang, therefore, girls are indeed born beautiful. However, there are many local indigenous peoples in Lancang, and their image and appearance are native to South Asia. ”

After changing clothes, the three of them only took their documents and wallets, and left the Laozhai Hotel holding hands with each other, and got into the back of a three-wheeled motorcycle parked in front of the door, and quietly left in the night.

The Annan agents, dressed in green uniforms and monitoring the delegation in front of the hotel, did not pay attention to their whereabouts.

The three-wheeled motorcycle, swaying and twisting, walked for more than an hour to take them to the outskirts of Vientiane, in a detached, riverside compound overgrown with plantain and bamboo on the edge of the Mekong River.

This courtyard is tall, magnificent, and a combination of earth and ocean, and the courtyard wall is densely built with thick and solid logs, which is very solid, five or six meters high. From the outside, the inside of the hospital is barely visible. In front of the courtyard there is a large wooden sign written in Lancang language, and the lights in front of the door are brilliant, and there are two tribal warriors on duty.

Under the street lamps, on both sides of the compound, there are staggered bamboo buildings. Next to it is the Mekong River at night, a wide river flowing quietly from west to east, with rows of coconut trees on the bank. The Siamese town on the other side of the river is brightly lit and busy.

The tricycle drove directly into the courtyard, and several servants greeted it. Yu Songyuan jumped out of the car first and helped Xu Tian get out of the car. Xu Tian stroked his hair and seemed to say to himself, "Here, in the future, will be the old camp of our Naga Company." ”

There were four cars parked in the yard, a sedan, a jeep, and two minivans. There are four small two-story buildings in the courtyard, not a single brick or stone, all of which are made of wood and a lot of bamboo, much like the houses inhabited by the Dai people in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China. However, the wood materials are extremely particular, almost all of them are made of Lancang's unique deep red, with a faint fragrance of 100-year-old and thousand-year-old red sandalwood and red sandalwood.

The courtyard is huge, covering an area almost the size of a football field, all the way to the river. The ground is paved with long bluestone slabs, and the courtyard is decorated with landscape trees, flowers, and bonsai, and the courtyard walls are lined with bamboo, plantains, palms, and tall coconut trees. In the middle of the courtyard is a large pond with various tropical fish, and outside the pond is a circle of large pergolas with tables and chairs made of bamboo.

The buildings are divided into two floors, different from the Chinese Dai people's houses, its ground floor is not used to put sundries or captivity all kinds of animals, pets, but to live people, mainly boatmen and other people. The second floor is the main house, with a wide, imposing staircase leading directly from the outside to the second floor.

In the distance, on the banks of the Mekong River, there is a large wooden pier, which is the company's private pier.

Under the bright street lamps, four large sailboats were tethered to the pier, and the male boatmen on the boat and in the yard wore wooden or plastic slippers, and the female servants wore sandals. These male boatmen or subordinates are generally thin and small, rarely exceeding 1.65 meters. There were a few people who came down from the boat, simply barefoot.

Looking across the bank from the courtyard, the Mekong River is wide and vast, the water is shining, and boats with lights hang on the dark river surface from time to time. In September in South Asia, the rainy season has not yet passed, and all kinds of flying insects and mosquitoes are "buzzing" in the ears. From time to time, flying insects smashed on the bright street lamps, making a "pop" sound. Countless bats skim low over the yard to prey on these flying insects.

Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao only got out of the car for a while, and two pimples were bitten out of their necks, very itchy and itchy, the more they scratched, the more they scratched, the bigger they were, and the most was half a small egg high.

With a "snap", Lin Tao stretched out his hand and slapped a big mosquito to death on his neck. "All year round, every year autumn and winter send us out, inexplicable!" Annoyed by the big mosquito, Lin Tao said angrily.

"Stupid, as soon as the temperature is high, there are many insects in spring and summer in South Asia and West Asia, mosquitoes and flies are flying, water is not daring to drink, bacteria are rampant, and it is easy to get infected if you are injured, how terrible is that, what is there to do!"

"I miss the team leader, Aunt Bug, Sister Lala, Lana, and Aunt Liu, Sister Xiao and Xiao Xu, boss, what do you say they are doing? Will we still be able to see them? ”

"There is a lot of war in West Asia, they are alone, and they must be fighting hard at the moment. I also think, but the world is very big, and China is also very big. They are all warriors on the hidden front, and it is fate to see them. If you are separated, you may never see each other again. Let's take back your heart, this is Lancang, not West Asia. ”

Xu Tianyi ignored them whispering or complaining in the back, pointed to the small building and introduced, "There are four small buildings, one is the residence of the big clan leader Long Ji, and the other is the office of the Naga Company, which will be the headquarters in the future. One building is my office and the other is a dormitory for senior staff. I'll take you around first, and at the end of the day, the clan head mother Yingya will hold a family ceremony to welcome you. ”

The two followed Xu Tianyi to her office first, and Xu Tianyi said, "This is a forbidden place for the outside world, and other people can't enter or leave at will." You're here, and you're proud to be here for the first stop. ”

Sure enough, the door was kept secret and guarded by two fully armed guards.

Entering the office, there is a hall in the middle and a conference table inside. There are six rooms, enclosed around the hall, all of which are offices. The largest room on the front is Xu Tianyi's office. The other offices, with the exception of the telegraph room, were closed. Inside the telegraph room, a petite tribal girl was on duty.

Xu Tianyi pointed to a large room on the left side of the conference room and said, "When you are usually in Lancang, you work and study here. Of course, it is also possible to be in the dormitory. ”

The three of them came to the second floor of another small building, and in the central hall, which was the place for guests, and the six rooms around it were all dormitories. The largest room on the front is Xu Tianyi's own bedroom. Xu Tianyi pointed to the large room on the left and said, "This one is your bedroom." "When I walked in, I saw two bamboo beds, pillows and mats made of bamboo, and mosquito nets made of blue cloth were hung on them. The desks and chairs are all made of bamboo, which is very southern flavor.

In the rest of the room, people are away on business. Only in the opposite room, there lived a middle-aged man, Xu Tianyi introduced, "This is Lao Zhou, Zhou Tieli, is the head of the shipwright team of the company's trade fleet." Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao and Lao Zhou shook hands and exchanged greetings.

Lao Zhou was very much like a person from southern China, and after saying hello, he whispered to Xu Tianyi, and then hurried out.

Xu Tianyi said: "Lao Zhou is an overseas Chinese from China's G Province, a fisherman, and a boat boss. He is also the head of our company's business in Annam, and his current identity is a businessman who has entered Lancang to do business, and his shipwrights are responsible for navigation safety, but they have just been established and their combat effectiveness has not yet been formed. From now on, for the next month, you will be hiding in this courtyard. It's safe and close to the suburbs, it's our safest stronghold. ”

Another small building, the office building of the company's office, was darkened and it was early to get off work.

"I usually work in the CCPIT office in the city center, which is only part of Naga's office in Lancang. Now that the Siam headquarters has been destroyed, it has become the headquarters of Naga. The company has a wide range of businesses, including a rice trading company in Siam and a jade mining business in Hungsavady. ”

Xu Tianyi took them to the stilted building where the big leader Long Ji lived, and like other small buildings, there were beautiful screen doors on the door, and there were also screen windows on the windows, and the lights inside were bright, and there were no mosquitoes to harass. The interior space is large, divided into two entrances, inside and outside. There are two large rooms in the room, which is where the owner lives, and outsiders are generally not allowed to enter.

The residence of the big leader Long Ji is also the old camp of the Long Dai tribe, and important meetings of the tribe are usually held in this hall.

A young woman of the Longdai tribe with a slightly darker complexion, elegant temperament, delicate face and slender figure, and a very cute little girl of five or six years old with a pair of pigtails, stood behind the screen door, and welcomed them into the room with their hands folded. The young woman is slightly shorter than Xu Tianyi, about 1.65 meters or more, noble and elegant, and generous.

Especially that little girl, who learns to be an adult, has a clear eye, and makes people pity.
