The milk tea boiled with ginger and a variety of spices is estimated to be only good at using Indians who are also particularly dependent on spices can taste its wonderfulness, Jiang Yunfeng just took a small sip and even turned out the whites of his eyes, the taste of milk tea is indeed very silky, but the sweet taste and strong spice flavor make Jiang Yunfeng subconsciously feel that he is drinking a pot of marinade.

Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention to the corner of the wall and placing the empty cup in front of him, the sixth master boiled another pot with another package of black tea samples, and asked Jiang Yunfeng if he wanted another cup when he was making it and distributing it to everyone.

Jiang Yunfeng hurriedly waved his hand and refused, indicating that he was not blessed. The sixth master looked regretful and turned to open the conversation folder and discuss with others the differences between the several black teas just now, as well as the direction of improvement in the future. The tea tasting meeting did not last long, and everyone dispersed, and Jiang Yunfeng and the others also returned to the manor on Ye Shan Liang's Wrangler.

On the second day, Jiang Yunfeng's keratitis had basically cured, and the injection of antibiotics was not in vain. Early in the morning, everyone got into action, packed their bags, loaded onto the Paramount Marauders, and prepared to continue their journey westward.

Bidding farewell to Ryo Hayama and Jun Shiomi, who were sent off for ten miles, Anatori, who was driving, increased the throttle to increase the speed of the vehicle. Uncle Billy, who was in the passenger seat, turned his seat and turned his head, holding an electronic map and explaining the revised travel plan based on the information he had collected from the Internet last night.

The situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate, especially Syria, which has been in a state of civil war. So Uncle Billy re-designated the plan overnight according to the deadline of the Chinese Lunar New Year.

From leaving Assam, we will continue to travel westward, without stopping to rest if necessary, in the shortest possible time through India, Pakistan and turbulent Afghanistan, from the northwestern Iranian plateau into Turkey to the largest city of Istanbul for repairs, and then by water via the Mediterranean Sea to bypass the dangerous Middle East, from Egypt to the Republic of Evia on the Red Sea by land.

Uncle Billy's new plan focuses on safety, and it was unanimously agreed. Uncle Billy and Anatoly took turns driving, and it took three days to make the road through India, crossing the border into neighboring Pakistan.

The group made a brief stop in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi, where Uncle Billy and Anatoly made a second alteration of the Paramount Marauders for the rest of their journey. The comfortable hammocks in the rear compartment were replaced with seat belt surrounds, and the exterior body and front windshield were equipped with grilles woven with the thickness of chopsticks.

Anatoly was still unsure about the protection, and filled sandbags and ceramic plates between the body and the grille to form a simple version of the composite armor to further strengthen the Paramount Marauder's protection against RPG rockets or undisciplined roadside bombs that flew from an unknown corner after entering Afghanistan.

All the free space in the car was stuffed with food and drinking water that Erina Nagikiri had purchased in Karachi, and she was ready to leave Karachi and head west along Pakistan's coastal road to the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. After clearing the customs, Uncle Billy, who was already fully armed, asked Jiang Yunfeng and the three of them to put on body armor and helmets, personally check everyone's seat belts and teach them precautions in case of emergency.

Uncle Billy, who looked very serious, made sure that everyone remembered his instructions, and then stepped back into the passenger seat, and gestured towards the driver's seat with the weapon with the safety open in his arms. Anatory, who was driving, nodded and released the brakes, and the Paramount Marauder's body shook slightly, driving into the inhospitable wilderness of Afghanistan.

Fortunately, the journey in Afghanistan was not dangerous, and Anatoly deliberately stopped in the valley where he grew up overnight more than 30 years ago, and the ruins of the abandoned village at the bottom of the valley were still the same as they had been for more than 30 years, and the erosion of time had not changed much.

Stroking the mottled bullet holes and dried and blackened blood stains on the broken wall, this is where the company commander died in battle. Anatoly's mind drifted back to that night more than thirty years ago, filled with shouts and gunshots. Uncle Billy came to him and crouched down, handed him the flask he had brought with him, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed and stood up.

Anatoly took the flask and took a sip, his strong shoulders began to tremble slightly, and the steel man who had gone through countless moments of life and death without frowning was actually crying silently, and the incompetence and cowardice of the year became a scar that he could never forget for the rest of his life.

Jiang Yunfeng wanted to step forward to comfort a few words, but was stopped by Uncle Billy: "Don't go over, let him be alone and quiet." ”

Jiang Yunfeng was speechless for a long time, just turned around and ran back, took some food from the car, turned back, found a flat stone, arranged the food according to Chinese tradition, lit three cigars, replaced sandalwood, and used water instead of wine to pay tribute to the soldiers who died here regardless of right or wrong and position.

A gust of mountain wind swept through the canyon, blowing away the smoke from the cigars. Anatoly took another sip of wine and wiped his face, ended his remembrance, got up and turned back, threw the flask back to Uncle Billy, calmly and calmly, returned to his resolute face, but his eyes were still a little red, and the corners of his mouth curled up and said, "Nosy!" ”

"yes~ We Americans like to be nosy the most." Uncle Billy catches the flask and smiles back.

Anatoly smiled heroically, gave a solemn military salute to the deserted village, and hummed the classic song "Давайза..." by the Lyubai band (Come on, for... Walk towards the car parked at the entrance of the village.

Uncle Billy unscrewed the wine jug to salute the deceased heroes, poured a sip of wine, and said to Jiang Yunfeng, "Let's go, let the two little girls get in the car, and we will continue to hurry." ”

Jiang Yunfeng nodded and ran to Erina Nagikiri and Fu Hua, who were together to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, to inform them of the news that they were about to leave. On the way back, I found a small item in the corner of a half-collapsed house, and ran over to pick it up and put it in my pocket.

After getting into the car, Jiang Yunfeng stuffed the things he had just picked up in his pocket into the co-pilot's Anatoly hand, said a word and sat back in the chair to fasten his seat belt. Anatoly spread his fist-clenched hand, and in the palm of his hand lay a rusted bullet casing.

Uncle Billy, who was in the driver's seat, glanced at the bullet casing, smiled slightly, and repeated Jiang Yunfeng's words: "Leave a thought." ”

Anatoly stared at the bullet casing in his hand for a long time, and finally he put the cartridge casing in his pocket and turned back to Jiang Yunfeng and said, "Don't run around and pick up things on a battlefield like this in the future, this kind of place is full of unexploded bombs and tricks. It's not always time to think that you were so lucky, don't let your curiosity kill you at a young age. ”

The non-stop journey continued, leaving Afghanistan and across Iran, and finally arriving at Istanbul, Turkey's largest city, an important stopover on the journey, after a dozen days. I haven't taken a bath for more than ten days, not to mention girls who love cleanliness, and even rough old men like Jiang Yunfeng can't stand the itching on their bodies, so as soon as they checked in at the Megara Palace Hotel in the old city of Istanbul, a group of five people took the first collective action to feel the legendary Turkish bath that will be unforgettable for a lifetime after washing once.
