This is the town of Raqqa. The town's restaurants and grocery stores are still open, making it a good time for business. Looking through the wooden floor-to-ceiling windows of the teahouse, the room is furnished with rectangular wooden tables and benches covered with brightly colored blankets. Vendors selling vegetables and fruits like to stack all the colorful vegetables and fruits on the periphery in layers, so that customers can have an unobstructed view and are greedy.

When the townspeople saw two Chinese tourists, a man and a woman, they smiled and nodded in a friendly way, and they came to solicit business.

All of Lee Kwang-han and Chen's cash and identity information were gone when they jumped into the sea, and they could eat and drink with George along the way. Now in a foreign country, they are penniless and have no passports, and it is difficult for them to take the next step. Therefore, their first task is to get in touch with China, get help from country B through relevant channels, and arrange their return to China as soon as possible.

One of the largest inns in town is a three-storey villa with a courtyard, which looks quaint and neat. Lee Kwang Han and Chen Aili stopped outside the fence of the courtyard full of flowers, and decided to stay here for the first night.

Behind the counter with a strong ethnic style, there is a proprietress wrapped in a robe and a headscarf. She saw a couple of tourists walk in and greet them warmly into the hotel.

There is an 8,000-metre-high snow-capped mountain near the town, where mountaineers from all over the world come together all year round to get ready to go or linger after descending.

Therefore, the proprietress has seen the world, and it is a common business to receive foreign climbers. Not only does she know English, but she can also identify Lee Kwang Han and Chen Aili as wealthy couple climbers by their clothes and backpack brands. She looked Li Guanghan and Chen Aili up and down, and politely asked what kind of room she needed and how many she would want to stay.

Chen Aili replied with a smile: "Hello, boss, we want a suite on the third floor, maybe two nights." But ......"

Chen Aili took off her brand-new hiking backpack full of it and put it on the counter. She noticed that the proprietress had her gaze resting on her backpack.

Chen Aili again: "That's right, our passports, cash, and credit cards have all been stolen, and I need to contact my friends here to help us and ask them to send money, can you borrow my phone here?" ”

The proprietress looked at them with big black eyes that flickered in disbelief, noncommittal, wondering whether she would suffer a loss.

Chen Aili continued: "Our backpacks are full of brand-new international top mountaineering equipment, which are light and durable, and some of them have not been opened. How about we bet it on you, and in case my friend doesn't send the money, it's all for you, and the money for the house and the meal? ”

Lee Kwang-han cooperated with the side to open the brand-name hiking backpack and took out waterproof tents, down sleeping bags, headlamps, windproof lighters, walkie-talkies, ice axes, trekking poles, alpine sunglasses, etc., and of course, backpacks. He carefully lined up one by one on the wide counter and showed it to the proprietress to see. These top international brands of mountaineering equipment were purchased by George's men at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, who originally wanted to smuggle into China, but unexpectedly fulfilled Li Guanghan and Chen Aili. When they got off the plane, they packed as much as they could in their backpacks, so that they could be coiled.

These mountaineering equipment incorporate a lot of high-tech materials, and the workmanship is exquisite, lightweight, and the price is extremely high. The proprietress has actually identified their living standards from the backpack and jacket brands on the two of them.

The proprietress was making calculations in a hurry. These new, top-of-the-line mountaineering gear are always available in the town and may even sell for a good price. And this price is also several times the cost of food and lodging, this is a business that only makes money and does not lose money, and she also believes that China is trustworthy.

The proprietress thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The last rays of the sunset were indifferently sprinkled on the top of the towering snow-capped mountains that could be seen as soon as you looked up, and in the warm restaurant on the first floor of the hotel, Li Guanghan and Chen Aili sat on a long wooden chair by the window, holding steaming lemon tea in their hands, watching the fireworks outside.

The town of Raqqa, located in a disputed border area, has learned how to survive in troubled times over the long years. The locals are kind, hardworking, and shrewd, but also flexible and live their lives.

The border crossing of country B with China is within the area of de facto control of country B in the disputed border area. It takes about a moment to drive from the town of Raqqa, and the road has to pass through mountains, canyons and glaciers, avalanches, landslides, landslides and other geological disasters, and the road conditions are worrying, and it is a world-class thrilling highway. And almost all of them drive at high altitudes, which is a great test of the driver's physical adaptability and driving skills.

Lee Kwang Han and Chen Aili studied the map at the dinner table, and the hostess brought fried eggs with flatbread, hummus and roast beef. The big-eyed hostess saw the map on the dining table and enthusiastically recommended a guide for the two to climb the snowy mountain.

Chen Aili has already contacted a friend of hers in country B, to be exact, a student from country B brought by her mother, Chen Youyou, who is now practicing medicine in country B.

The doctor quickly arranged for his friend Ming near the town of Raqqa to bring them cash and an SUV. Chen Aili also notified her colleagues in China to contact the border port in advance, and now it seems that everything seems to be arranged, and only one cross-country trip is needed.

The two of them felt the relief they hadn't felt in a long time, and began to feast.

At night, the town suddenly quiets down. The shallow moonlight quietly reflected on the snow-capped mountain spire, blue and mysterious. Li Guanghan came to the stage of the villa and looked at the town sleeping in the valley, peaceful and peaceful. The meandering river rushes by, and the sound of the water accentuates the tranquility of the town.

The starry sky here is just as enchanting, and Lee Kwang Han looks up among the stars for the dancing star he is familiar with. Sure enough, he quickly found the star with a peculiar flickering rhythm from behind the wolf. He stroked the "Dharma Eyeball" on his neck, and made countless guesses about this mystery in his heart. What is the connection and inspiration between the two? How can you lead me to the source of energy?

At this moment, Li Guanghan felt a feeling of "being closer to home, more timid", what if? …… He didn't dare to think about it.

The night air in the valley is sweet, and I can finally get a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Chen Aili's doctor friend sent someone to deliver cash and an off-road vehicle. The big-eyed proprietress watched greedily as Li Guanghan and Chen Aili loaded those top-of-the-line equipment into the car again.
