Midsummer August, two o'clock in the afternoon, Nanmi Town, southwest border of China.

The town is small, but it's lively and chaotic, and although the sun is blazing, the streets are still bustling with pedestrians with colorful parasols and wandering through the dazzling array of goods. Bargaining on the street in various languages, the crowd is buzzing.

This is Dami Street, Nam Mi Town, there is a small river at the end of the street, there is a bridge on the river, there is a border checkpoint at the head of the bridge, and after crossing the bridge, it is the neighboring country MD.

On this street, half of them are daily necessities sold from the mainland, and half are local products from MD, and the merchants of D will traffic local products over, sell them and then buy daily necessities back, and they can make a lot of money by coming and going.

In the midst of the chaotic crowd, a slightly thin teenager walked over, dressed in a modest denim outfit and carrying a huge hiking backpack, covered in wind and dust, and looked a little out of place here.

The person who came was Ding Xiaocong who ran away.

He felt that the responsibility for the matter lay with him, and he didn't want others to accompany him on the adventure, so he touched this place alone. Before leaving, he left a message to his family, saying that he was going to the south to do business with people, and then he turned off the phone, stopped receiving messages, and decided to go back after the matter was done.

The reason why he chose this place is only because he has heard that there is no need for cumbersome exit procedures to transit through here...... The borders between Southeast Asian countries are almost non-existent, and as long as you go out of here, you can go anywhere.

Looking at the border checkpoint on the bridge, Ding Xiaocong was at a loss again, he heard in advance that he could pass casually, but the reality was not like this at all, he tried three times with various postures, but he was blocked back, and he was almost caught, what should I do now? Originally, it was possible to apply for a pass through due process, but for some reason, the window here was closed and no longer handled for outsiders.

Just when he was worried, a tricycle drove up next to him, and all kinds of miscellaneous goods were loaded more than three meters high and staggered. Probably tied up tightly enough, when it was driven to Ding Xiaocong's side, the entire top was completely crooked, and it looked like it was about to fall!

The man on the bicycle was so frightened that he screamed loudly, and out of self-defense, Ding Xiaocong subconsciously reached out and pushed the goods back.

The man on the bicycle was dry and thin, about 40 or so, if the goods were dumped just now, his weight could not be held down at all, and he would have to fall with him, so not only would the goods be finished, but the person would also be injured if he didn't do well.

"Thank you!" The man froze and thanked Ding Xiaocong.

"Nothing." Ding Xiaocong was a little distracted, so he replied casually and got out of the way.

After seeing that it was Ding Xiaocong, the man's face showed a playful look, and after thinking about it, he asked in a low voice: "Young man, I see that you have been here for three days, what's the matter, can't you get by?" ”

Ding Xiaocong immediately understood the meaning of his words, became excited, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, do you have a way to send me over?" ”

The man smiled slightly, "Do you want to go over, it's too easy, you need a guide......"

"Oh?" Ding Xiaocong put on a posture that he was willing to hear about it.

The man smiled: "In this way, I will find you someone and let him take you over, how about it?" But you have to pay some money. ”

Ding Xiaocong was overjoyed, he was ready to find another way out, and now he had hope.

"You come with me, help me carry the goods on the way." The man beckoned his hand and began to pedal three rounds, Ding Xiaocong hurriedly followed, and said that he had met a good person.

"Young man, did you gamble for money, take goods, or buy a daughter-in-law in the past?" The man casually chatted with Ding Xiaocong while pedaling.

Ding Xiaocong hurriedly smiled, "Where, I'm just going to play ......"

"Oh?" The man was stunned when he heard this, and glanced back at Ding Xiaocong, his eyes were full of disbelief, but he didn't say anything and continued to pedal.

The man's shop is next to the border checkpoint, and it is not large, and it is so messy that there is not even a shelf, and it looks like a garbage transfer station. It was full of broken wood and rocks, exuding a strong earthy smell.

After arriving at the store, Ding Xiaocong found that there were two people inside, one was a girl in her twenties, and a tall and thin middle-aged man.

The little girl was obviously looking at the store, and another middle-aged man aroused Ding Xiaocong's idea.

This man wears black trousers, a black T-shirt on the top, and sits upright like a javelin, not moving at all, and does not squint. At his feet was a black travel bag, bulging, and I don't know what it contained.

"Wait for someone to come, and you will go together." The shopkeeper pointed at the middle-aged man, who turned his head and looked at Ding Xiaocong, and then turned back again.

It turned out that this person, like himself, was preparing to cross the border.

After waiting quietly for a few minutes, a thin man walked in, his eyes dark, and he glanced at Ding Xiaocong and the man.

"This is Brother Long, you can follow him later." The owner of the shop introduced.

Ding Xiaocong knows that this is the so-called leader.

"You can't walk on the big road, I'll take you on the small road, 5,000 yuan per person, hurry up!" After Brother Long looked at the two of them, he urged impatiently.

"It doesn't take so much money to cross the border from the port, right?" The middle-aged man who had been sitting upright said lightly.

Brother Long froze for a moment, a touch of anger flashed on his face, and he whispered fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense, the other side is not peaceful now, and the two of you can't go through the normal procedures at all, if you want to leave, you will pay the money, and if you don't leave, you will get out!" ”

Ding Xiaocong frowned, this little man is only afraid that he is not good at stubble.

If there is another way, Ding Xiaocong definitely does not want to be with such a person, but he has been delayed for three days, he is really anxious, without saying a word, he took out a wad of money from his bag, counted out 5,000 and handed it over.

Ding Xiaocong did this on purpose, when he counted the money, he kept observing the little man's face, if he noticed greed, he would guard against him on the road, and if it was not good, he would strike first.

After going through so much, the current Ding Xiaocong is a big kid on the surface, and he is not good at stubble in his bones, if you don't mess with me, it's okay, if you dare to have bad thoughts, then look at whose hands are spicy!

The little man had no expression on his face, and his soul did not fluctuate, so he didn't look at the extra money, took 5,000 and put it in his pocket, and then turned to the middle-aged man.

The man seemed colder than the little man, but he didn't say anything more, and counted out 5,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it over.

After receiving the money, the little man beckoned, "Let's go, we have to get over before dark, there is still a lot of way to go." ”

This is obviously not a legitimate transaction, the transaction was done, no one said much, Ding Xiaocong and the middle-aged man followed behind with their heads down.

After going out, the little man looked left and right, and instead of going to the border checkpoint on the bridge, he led them into the chaotic houses behind the street.
