Chapter 0501 - Corrupt Small South Asian Country
Lin Li's Five Elements Escape Technique, although he could move hundreds of kilometers in an instant, if he had never been to the target direction, he would naturally not be able to use this method.
So the first thing he had to solve was the traffic problem.
He went to the front desk to inquire where there was a car rental service, the front desk lady was not very clear, was looking for other people to help ask, there was a guest next to him who couldn't stop looking at Lin Li, and suddenly came over to him and asked: "Look at the appearance of this guest, it doesn't look like a Vietnamese, right?" ”
"Yes, I am Chinese!" Lin Li replied.
"I'm Chinese too!" The man's face was full of excitement, and he grabbed Lin Li's arm, "My name is Lan Xinrong, from Guilin, Guangxi, but I have been doing business in Vietnam for several years!" You came to Dien Bien Phu, wouldn't you have heard that Dien Bien Phu had a treasure? ”
"Why does everyone seem to know about this?" Lin Li smiled bitterly.
"Even you, a Chinese tourist, know about it, let alone the locals of Dien Bien Phu, I'm afraid your news is also coming out of the population of Dien Bien Phu, right?" Lan Xinrong said with a smile.
Lin Li didn't answer the latter sentence, but only asked him if he knew where to rent a car.
Lan Xinrong said: "Dien Bien Phu is only a small city, and there is no such service as renting a car, but I did drive an off-road vehicle, if you want, you can take my car with you." I'll hire another guide for you, and you only need to pay for a guide and gas. ”
Lin Li immediately understood that Lan Xinrong also wanted to find the treasure. In other words, it is most reasonable for the tour guide fee and gasoline fee to be shared equally between two people.
However, these are trivial matters, and they are not worth arguing with Lin Li, so Lin Li nodded and agreed, and said that the two would set off together early tomorrow morning.
Who knew that the next day, there were two more men in Lan Xinrong's car. According to Lan Xinrong, these two people are also Chinese, one is named Li Gengyue and the other is Zhang Bin.
"The two of them have been special forces and are proficient in survival in the wild, let's follow the two of them, and we don't have to be afraid of danger in the forest!" Lan Xinrong said.
Lin Li saw that the bare arms and muscles of these two people were solid, and they did look like they had been soldiers, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't say it.
The big man named Zhang Bin patted Lin Li's shoulder and said, "The little brother is twenty years old, how dare he come to Vietnam alone to look for a baby?" There are not only many wild beasts in the forests of Vietnam, but also many mines planted during the Vietnam War. ”
"Not really!" Called Li Gengyue immediately said, "But don't worry, everyone is Chinese, we won't leave you alone, if we really find the baby, we will share your share somewhat!" ”
Lin Li shook his head with a wry smile and asked them, "Do you know what kind of treasure it is?" ”
"I really don't know this? Could it be that the little brother actually knows? Li Gengyue asked.
"I don't really know, but as far as I know, there are a lot of great masters who come to hunt for treasure this time, and I'm afraid it's very dangerous for you to go in!" Lin Li said.
Li Gengyue and Zhang Bin looked at each other, and both of them laughed.
"Little brother is scared, right? Do you know what my nicknames for Li Gengyue and I were in the army? My name is Boulder, his name is Hammer, and you should know what they mean just by these two nicknames! When Zhang Bin said this, he reached out and patted his waist, lowered his voice and blinked mysteriously, "And we came to hunt for treasure this time, but we are well equipped, so you can follow us with confidence, no matter what danger or master!" ”
Lin Li saw what he meant, and there were guns and the like hidden on his body, and he didn't know where they got them from. But Lin Li couldn't say it more clearly, so he could only shake his head secretly.
Lan Xinrong really invited a local man to be a guide and promised a large amount of guide fees.
The man was thin and short, but sturdy, and according to him, he had been hunting with his father since he was a child, so he was familiar with the mountains around Dien Bien Phu.
But he insisted that Lan Xinrong pay the guide fee in advance, and he handed it over to his family before entering the mountain with Lin Li and the others. The reason is that there are many wild beasts in the mountains, and there are many mines, and it is not necessary to say that he can't get out of the mountains, so he has to settle his family first.
His reason was quite far-fetched, after all, he had already said before, he had been hunting in the surrounding mountains since he was a child, and it was really so dangerous, and he could not live well until now.
Zhang Bin and Li Gengyue talked to themselves, as if the "tour guide fee" had nothing to do with them at all. Lin Li knew that it was impossible for them to find the "treasure", so he didn't bother with them, and directly paid the guide.
The guide fee that Lan Xinrong promised was equivalent to almost 3,000 yuan, which was a huge amount of money for the poor Vietnamese, but it was basically not worth mentioning to Lin Li.
Seeing that Lin Li was so happy, Zhang Bin reached out and hugged Lin Li's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Brother Lin is still a rich kid!" In this way, we are responsible for the safety of Brother Lin, how about Brother Lin help us pack the cost of Li Gengyue and I entering the mountain this time? ”
Lin Li knew that he was taking the opportunity to blackmail, so he didn't talk nonsense with him, but said, "Then we have to talk about it after we come out!" ”
"Then it's decided! Don't worry, with me and Li Gengyue, I will ensure that you go in and out safely! Zhang Bin laughed.
Lin Li didn't have any equipment specially prepared for entering the mountain, but simply brought two bottles of water and a few bags of snacks, which made Zhang Bin and Li Gengyue seize the opportunity and said that their equipment would be shared by Lin Li, at the cost of Lin Li giving them 10,000 yuan.
Lin Li still said the same thing, and he will say it when his life comes out. Zhang Bin and Li Gengyue thought that they had settled on Lin Li, and both of them showed a smug look on their faces.
After the guide handed over the guide fee paid by Lin Li to his family, a group of five people drove to the mountain.
Because Li Gengyue has run long distances in China for two years and his driving skills are very good, he sat in the driver's seat, and the guide guided the road in the passenger seat. The remaining Lin Li and the other three sat in the back seat.
Along the way, Zhang Bin kept talking about Lin Li, as if he wanted to inquire about Lin Li's family background, how much money he brought to Vietnam this time, and so on.
Lin Li knew that he had become greedy, and if he had a large amount of cash with him and did not have a strong background in the country, they might have killed himself in the forests of this foreign land.
Lin Li naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, just perfunctory nonsense. Zhang Bin thought that he had become vigilant, so he didn't talk nonsense anymore.
I didn't want to be on a road leading to the mountains and forests, which was not wide, and the Vietnamese police set up checkpoints and ordered all cars to turn around and not allow them to go any further.
The guide couldn't help but speak, and said, "I have already told Mr. Lan that there is a big man in Dien Bien Phu who has also heard the news of the treasure, so he personally ordered the road into the mountain to be blocked, and no one else was allowed to enter the mountain to hunt for treasures. But his son took a team of special forces and went into the mountains yesterday. ”
He lowered his voice, but on the other hand, he was a little indignant, and it could be seen that he hated the corruption and domineering of this big man very much, but he was full of helplessness.
Lin Li then understood the reason why he asked to pay the guide fee in advance, he had already known that this road had been blocked, and he asked for the guide fee first, even if he couldn't enter the mountain, it was impossible for him to return it.
Lan Xinrong shook his head and said to Lin Li and Zhang Bin: "Corruption is very serious in this country, as long as we can come up with a large sum of money, I guarantee that these policemen will let us go!" ”
As soon as he said this, Li Gengyue, who was in the driver's seat in front of him, turned his head and looked at Lin Li with Zhang Bin.
