Chapter 188: Others
When I got off the plane, it was already the early morning of the next day.
God knows why Banner chose such a remote country, and Ryan thinks it would be more appropriate to describe it as a tribe.
After getting off the plane,
Ryan and the others did not go directly to Banner's tribe, but found a local car rental agency, rented a jeep, and bought some water and food at a small nearby supermarket.
Then continue to follow the navigation towards the remote mountain village.
After arriving here, even Ryan had to admire that Hydra had done a good job in terms of intelligence, and even this kind of uninhabited territory had arranged eyeliner,
A thatched roof,
Walls made of clay,
The path in the middle of the village is not visible in the shape of the road at all, and it is completely a relatively flat path formed naturally because there are many people walking.
For the arrival of the three people, the people around them seemed a little curious, but there was some resistance in the curiosity, the more isolated the people in the world, the more they would have an invisible barrier to the outside world.
For them, the arrival of Ryan and the others seemed to disrupt the balance of their lives.
It's just that although the locals are a little resistant and curious, they don't make any actual moves, and at most they just watch for a while when they see them on the street.
"How could anyone want to live in a place like this?"
Wade glanced at his surroundings, his face beneath the mask revealing a hint of bewilderment.
Wade, who was a mercenary, had actually seen many small tribes in the middle of nowhere, but most of those places were inhabited only by locals, and the primitive living habits and simple living conditions were simply not acceptable to modern people.
For example
When most people live in such a place, even every time they go to the toilet becomes an ordeal.
"Find a place to stay first."
Ryan ignored Wade's complaints, and instead walked over to an old woman who seemed to be quite kind.
"English?" Ryan asked.
“???? &*%¥@#%##%”
The old woman looked at Ryan blankly, obviously not understanding what the young man in front of her was saying, and then opened her mouth to say a series of words that Ryan didn't understand either.
Ryan glanced back at Skye a little helplessly, Skye smiled, then took out something like a voice recorder from his backpack, turned it on and asked again in English,
As soon as Skye finished speaking, the instrument in his hand immediately translated Skye's meaning into the language that the old woman had just spoken.
This is a translation pen that Skye brought from S.H.I.E.L.D., which can recognize 99% of the languages on the planet, and is practically faster than any other similar product on the market.
"Can we stay here for a few days?"
Skye took out a few dollar bills in his other hand, this kind of small village that has barely been commercially exploited does not have such a thing as a hotel, and if you want to find a place to live, you can only borrow it to live in the homes of locals.
"Yes."
The old woman agreed very decisively, and decisively let Ryan rot all the words he had prepared in his stomach, and after taking the dollar bill in Skye's hand, a few more wrinkles appeared on the old woman's already old face.
Language may not be understood, but the US dollar, as the current international currency, is clearly more recognized than English, the world's largest language.
The old woman's house was not very spacious, it was built in a rough way, with an original smell, and the walls seemed to have a strong smell of earth.
In addition to an empty dirt floor, there were four single rooms that could barely be called rooms separated by earthen walls, and a living room with a few straw mats.
After putting all the bags and luggage in his room, Ryan led Skye to the living room, where the old woman was pouring tea, and although the distance from society made them seem a little out of touch in every way, it gave them a simple temperament that was rare in society.
"Thank you."
Ryan took the tea the old woman handed him, looked down at the magazines that looked very unsightly in the tea, and placed the teacup on the small wooden table.
"Do you live alone?"
Ryan glanced at the rest of the living room, and there seemed to be no sign of anyone else's life here, including the four cabins they had seen earlier, and the other three were not inhabited except for the old woman's own.
"Ah, no, my son and daughter are both working outside and will come back when they have time."
After having a translation pen, Ryan's communication with the old woman has become much smoother, although he needs to wait for a while after speaking, but at least he can communicate without barriers, this kind of thing Ryan has actually seen in his previous life, but it is far less useful than the one in his hand now.
If S.H.I.E.L.D. existed on the earth in the previous life, even if they were only a scientific research institution, it would be enough to change the pattern of the entire world.
"They should come back often." Ryan asked politely.
"Well, you only came back to see me six years ago."
”......“
Glancing at the old woman's eyes narrowed into a thin line, Ryan suddenly felt that the topic was a little too much to talk about.
maybe
Everyone has their own way of life.
Human nature is actually not as bad as most people think.
maybe
The sons and daughters of the old woman are not without filial piety,
Rather, he may have died in one of the events.
"I heard that there is a doctor in the village who has not been here for a long time?"
Skye asked,
There are certain topics that are still asked by women who are less sensitive.
"Ah, yes."
Probably because of her age, the old woman's ears are not very good, and she needs to react for a while before she can continue to speak, "That doctor is a good man, he doesn't take our money every time, and the girls in the village have a good impression of him." ”
Speaking of which,
The old woman frowned again, as if remembering something, and said with some strange feelings, "Are you friends with the doctor?" ”
"Well, we know him." Ryan took over the conversation, they did know Banner, but Banner didn't know them now.
"Huh."
The old woman smiled and said, "Many people have come to him recently, and it seems that he is also a very popular person outside. ”
Wen Yan,
Ryan and Skye looked at each other and frowned.
The news they got was not like this, Hill didn't choose to bring other S.H.I.E.L.D. people over, just brought two assistants, after all, it was impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to allocate too many resources to this side at such a time.
"Where do they live?"
Ryan asked,
A very gentle smile was drawn at the corners of his mouth.
"Perhaps, we know them too?"
