Chapter 31: The Jungle People

Seeing that the tense atmosphere enveloped the whole ship, Yu Songyuan whispered comforting, "I was targeted by a group of people, but it didn't have much impact on us." Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, and sleep together when you are done! ”

Hearing him say this, everyone began their lunch in disbelief, but their eyes looked at the shore from time to time. After eating in fear, Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao and the others lay down beautifully, and soon fell asleep.

The river widens here, the current is gentle, and the boat speed is extremely fast.

Although Zheng Shuwen was tired from tossing and turning while fishing, she felt that she was in trouble, so she leaned outside the cabin and took the initiative to monitor the movement on the shore. "Miss Zheng, you can go sleep for a while. When you go on a teaching tour, you may not have the opportunity to sleep peacefully. Boss Chen punned on comfort.

"Thank you, uncle! I'll see what I'm doing! ”

Zhou Tieli saw that she was very stubborn, so he had to chat with her while staring nervously at the shore from time to time. I don't know how long later, just when everyone thought it was all right, a sudden "bang" of gunfire broke the silence between the river and the jungle.

In the crisp sound of gunfire, the team sleeping on the deck jumped up from their sleep and prepared for battle.

On the right side of the river bank in front of him, a tall savage jumped from a high rock on the bank of the river, and a beautiful fish leaped into the water with a "flutter" volley. Then he came out of the water from a long distance and swam quickly towards the center of the river, blocking the passage of the big boat.

In the distance, on the shore, the screams of the women could be heard, "B?tanhta, kh?ng??" choh?nch?ythoΓ‘t!” (Something to the effect: Catch him, don't let him run!) The man is a jungle man living on the banks of the Tuojiang River, and his swimming skills are excellent. Quickly swam to the side of the big boat, jumped up, grabbed a piece of rope hanging from the boat gang in the fast sailing, and shouted in panic in Annam, "Save me, there are crocodiles in this river!" ”

Boss Chen had already slowed down the boat, and shouted, "Save people!" ”

Yu Songyuan and the others saw that several black shadows under the water were rapidly approaching this person, so they stretched out a bamboo pole for him to grasp, and pulled him up together. Looking down at the surface of the water again, a few black shadows quickly swept past, just a little bit behind, so dangerous!

At this time, there appeared on the shore a dozen young women running with the boat, either with their hair disheveled or their hair simply tied behind their heads, but they seemed to be very athletic, running and jumping on the rugged rocks as if they were walking on the ground, and they must be the tribesmen of the jungle tribe.

On the river ahead, five or six canoes suddenly rowed quickly from the shore towards the river, blocking the way of the big boat. Several young women in shabby military uniforms were pointed at the ship with Chinese Type 5 or 6 rifles. One of the women shouted:

β€œNg?nch?nthuy?n!”。 (Stop the boat!) On the shore, there were also a dozen or so women with rifles aimed at the river, and three women with children on their backs.

Yu Songyuan was a little annoyed, and the dignified brother team was blocked by a bunch of women.

He glanced at Zheng Shuwen. The old witch sat on the deck, first with a surprised face, and looked at the Annan woman on the boat in a daze, with an inexplicable and unbelievable look. But it was just a matter of a moment, and she also understood, so she changed her face to watch the play, took the tea bowl leisurely, and looked forward to the development of the situation with great interest.

Yu Songyuan couldn't count on her, so he had to nod to Lao Zhou and Boss Chen, and Boss Chen stopped the boat.

Yu Songyuan stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, and he looked at the young man in his early thirties. Judging by his tactical maneuvers, this should be a military-trained veteran. The dark face, the high bridge of the nose, and the resolute gaze reveal a trace of exhaustion. There were a bunch of women on the boat and on the shore, but there was no man, and this peculiar tribal structure also made Yu Songyuan more firm in his judgment.

Lin Tao, Liu Guodong and Lin Zhumin, although they also looked at everything in front of them curiously. But the hands are already ready, if the women dare to shoot, they will kill them at the first time!

The man was wearing wet clothes, panting and pleading, and was pleading in a low voice to the woman on the boat in Annan dialect, the voice was obviously coaxing and deception, and it was the kind of tone that only men can have when they coax their wives, "You are all obedient, good, I am not running away." I'll go home and see my parents, my wife and my children, and then I'll come back to you. ”

"You're a liar!"

The leading woman scolded, "You have long wanted to abandon us, you negative man, the crocodile should have eaten you just now!" After sleeping with us for five years, we got tired of playing, so we left, leaving us with a home to return to, but what should we do? Are you Chinese men all so conscienceless?! ”

This blow was a little bigger, and the men on the big ship were very unhappy. But everyone didn't think about how to speak, but Zheng Shuwen blurted out, "A bunch of nonsense, Annan women have a conscience?" Isn't it for yourselves to hold men? If you have a conscience, why don't you let people go back to see their parents?! Do you think you can capture a man's heart with a few broken guns?! ”

Zheng Shuwen's words were very impulsive, and the leading woman was speechless in front of her like a cannon. At this time, another woman who was a little shorter began to cry and sing, and the content was begging for a man. Yu Songsong roughly understood, the woman sang to the effect that please don't abandon us ruthlessly, our children are so old, if you throw your hands and leave, we won't be able to live, so we have to throw ourselves into the river with our children......

The singing voice is full of emotion, sorrow, and very touching.

Sure enough, the man was defeated, "Xiaoying, I love you, but I also love my parents, wife and children." It's been four or five years, and I miss them so much. I beg you, let me go back, let me go back and see them, do my filial piety, even if it's just a glance, okay? After reading it, I'll come back to you! ”

The women on the boat shouted in unison to condemn the man, scolding him for being a negative man and wanting to abandon them!

Yu Songyuan lit a cigarette and smiled bitterly, saying that it was difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, not to mention that he had not yet started a family. But it was not a way to continue arguing like this, and he felt that it was time to speak by himself.

"They all say that they can't tie up a couple, put the gun down, do you have a gun to look at the man?" After saying that, the women quickly said to the men, "Should you go back with someone?" After marrying so many wives, you really have yours, and you still run away after you have children, is it a shame to be ashamed? We're on our way, so we don't have time to mess with you. ”

He spoke Lancang and Annan, who was not proficient, and Zheng Shuwen sat on the deck and lazily began to translate.

The man whispered in Chinese: "Don't drive me, I know you are Chinese from the time you sang "Ho Chi Minh - Mao Zedong"!" I was wounded and captured by them in '79...... I spent five years with them. Five years, I miss my parents, I miss my children. They must have thought I was sacrificing......"

"We are Lancang businessmen, we don't understand what you say!" Yu Songyuan rebuked in authentic Lancang language.

"Now Miss Annan and Miss Lancang, who will sing this song? Even if you can sing, who would dare to sing?! The man asked with a high level of reproach.

Yu Songyuan was shocked, and the rest of the people were also shocked. Thinking that it was relatively safe in the inaccessible jungle, Nima revealed his identity with just one song.

A thought skipped through his heart, since it was exposed, there was no reason for these people to stay. But with his battlefield senses, he believed in this man. The women in front of him, as long as this man was left, would almost certainly be harmless to the team, and he didn't want to hurt the innocent.

After thinking about it, he asked the man loudly: "So, you go back to see your family, after reading it, can your parents still let you come back here?" You're gone, what about your bunch of women? What about the children you have with them? ”

"It's said that we have been in love for a long time, we have been together for five years, I have a relationship with them for a long time, and I have three children, can I be willing to leave them? I just went home to see my parents, did my filial piety, and then I would come back to them. The man also seemed to understand Yu Songyuan's intentions, and immediately replied loudly.

Yu Songyuan turned around and said to the leading woman, "You have also heard, people just want to go home and do their filial piety, this is human nature." He misses his parents so much that I suggest you let him go back. It's not always the right thing to look at with a gun......"

"But what if he doesn't come back? What about our children? Besides, it's been four or five years, the family must have received a death notice, and his wife must have remarried, so what are you going back for? It's clear that they're tired of us and want to run away! "The woman has sharp teeth.

"Since his wife must have remarried, are you still afraid that he won't come back? More than a dozen of you women, after four or five years, still can't tie a man's heart, it's too much of a failure, right? Yu Songyuan paused and then persuaded, "If I were you, let him go back." When he honors his parents and comes back, won't he live with you with all his heart! ”

The woman couldn't say it, but she was a little annoyed in her heart, and suddenly sneered on her face, "A bunch of flamboyant liars, think I don't know where you are from?" Don't try to help him trick us! There is a shortage of men in our stockade, believe it or not, I will arrest you all back? If you are not honest, send the special team of the military region, see you crazy! ”

"Cut!" Zheng Shuwen came to do the translation, and when he heard the words, he snorted disdainfully, "Think about men and want to go crazy, a group of, you are also worthy?!" After scolding, he turned his head and didn't want to deal with them.

"You?! Well, we don't deserve it, you deserve it! ”

Enraged, the woman in the small boat raised her gun again and aimed it at the people on the big boat. The other boats and the women on the shore also raised their guns in unison.

Yu Songyuan smiled with a spring breeze on his face, "I can't see it, you are indeed a nymphomaniac." You must have been an officer a few years ago, so why can't you tell what I'm doing? Do you think you can really deal with us with a few broken guns that were scrapped in China in the fifties and sixties?! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly rose into the air. The speed was too fast, and before the woman and the others could react, he was already standing firmly on the boat. The boat only shook a little, and there was a ripple on the water, and the diving knife was already across the woman's neck, and the gun was down.

This change was indeed too fast, and the other women on the boat were stunned, and before they could react, the leading woman had been controlled by others. Zheng Shuwen, Lin Tao and all the people on the boat also drew their pistols in an instant, and pointed their guns at several women on the boat, and the situation was about to erupt.
