Chapter 65 Remuneration for Smuggling
Miao Nu Niannian expressed great anticipation for the imminent entry into China, but I was not so excited.
It's not that I don't have feelings for this country, but I'm thinking about one thing.
That's how to cross the border.
In fact, whether it is Miao Nu Niannian or insects, they are all people who do not have household registration, nor do they have any documents, and if they enter the country at this moment, it is illegal, and the border patrol team is not vegetarian, if there is a conflict, what should I do?
For my question, the insect felt that it was completely unfounded, she said a hundred years ago, Chi Limei had been here, why can she, I can't?
I had a headache and said eldest sister, can this be compared, a hundred years ago China was in chaos, no one can care about this, but thinking about it is different, it is the world's top few powers, and the national defense force is not vegetarian.
Miao Nunian asked at this time, saying that those people who were very Mo Gu Miao, were they normal departures?
Belch?
When she said that, I really didn't know how to answer, and said vaguely that it should be, right?
The insect couldn't help it, and laughed, saying Do you think they can enter and exit normally with a headless corpse on their backs? Is it your brain, or am I having a problem?
Uh, well, I have a problem with my brain.
I have been educated by the party and the state since I was a child, and my mind has always been full of rules and regulations, and abiding by the law has been integrated into my blood and has become an instinct, but in their minds, there has never been the word rules.
Perhaps, but that's called a rule, not a law.
We came to Lao Cai, the administrative center of the Kokang district, and I felt like I was back in the country, where Chinese was spoken, Chinese was spoken, the faces of those people were the same as the Chinese we saw, and even the communication used here was China Telecom.
In fact, it is less than 10 kilometers away from the border town of southern Yunnan province.
I know Lao Cai, I have seen reports before, saying that there was a war in the local area, a large number of border people poured into the country, forming a wave of refugees - in fact, the so-called Kokang people, in fact, are the Han people, these people are in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, followed the Yongli Emperor to flee here to cultivate and recuperate, and later the Yongli Emperor was drunk by the army of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, drank the Nu River, approached Burma, and hanged with a bowstring, and these people took root with the high mountains and dense forests with heavy mountains.
Later, in the sixties and seventies of the last century, cultural youths went to the mountains and countryside, and there were some unspeakable factors such as the export revolution, so a large number of intellectual youths came here and settled down for a long time.
The place is chaotic, all kinds of forces are involved, and the small old street market is full of casinos and brothels, which is a place of turmoil.
I took the worm and the Miao girl to think about it, found a restaurant and ate a little casually, then found the proprietress and asked her about some conversations, and finally talked about whether there was a way to help with smuggling.
The proprietress was a sensible person, and when she heard me ask about it, she whispered what kind of goods she wanted to smuggle, white goods, or black goods?
I asked what was white and what was black.
She looked at me disdainfully and said I don't know this, what are you smuggling?
I said help take a few of us to the other side.
The proprietress glanced at the insects and Miao Nu who were immersed in eating, and her eyes suddenly lit up, saying that you are the one who came to buy a daughter-in-law?
I didn't explain much, I said yes, but I didn't expect the fat woman to laugh again, and said that if you buy a daughter-in-law, you don't have to go through such a lot of trouble, you must be doing that kind of business, and you want to get a few beautiful girls to go over there to make money - but then again, you have a good eye.
I didn't reason with her, nodded vaguely, and then she stretched out her hand and said dollars, five thousand dollars per person, pay half first, and then give half when you're done.
So expensive?
I was stunned for a moment and said can it be cheaper?
The proprietress twitched her face and said it was too expensive? Earlier, you just went over directly, why bother to come and beg me?
I said no, you're too expensive.
She sneered and said I tell you, the way I contacted is to take this road all the year round, I am most familiar with the surrounding situation, and I am also very familiar with the patrol route of the face team, there is almost no mistake, what I want is a conscience price, if you think it is not good, you can go to other houses to ask.
I didn't talk to her again, but went back to the table, when Worm took out a wad of money and said with a blank face, "Give it to her!" ”
I was stunned and said, "How do you have so much money?"
Miao Nunian said that this is what I kept, and I was going to exchange a little when I got to China, as a travel fee, but I didn't expect it to be spent here.
I glanced at her, nodded, and then took the money back to the counter, found the proprietress and made a deal with her.
She took the money and told us to come back to her at nine o'clock in the evening.
After leaving the hotel, Worm looked back at the counter and said calmly I don't like this woman, there is greed in her eyes that can't be hidden.
I smiled wryly and said that she had earned enough intermediary fees, which was also a matter of no choice, after all, we were not familiar with this area, and instead of clashing with the border troops, it was better to spend money to find a familiar guide, as long as we could cross the border, everything would be easy to say at that time.
I remembered the Mr. Buyu that Erchun took me to find before, and I thought that maybe he could solve things like getting two ID cards.
As for taking us across the border, I don't think it's better not to trouble him about it.
After all, it's not familiar.
Worm nodded, no comment, and then I took them to open two rooms in a nearby hotel to give them a break, while I wandered around, trying to find out more and buy some necessary supplies for the road.
At night, we arrived at the hotel again.
The proprietress pulled us into the kitchen, where there was a big man with a one-eyed dragon who was sitting on a stool and smoking, and when he saw us coming in, he also stood up, and the proprietress greeted the one-eyed dragon warmly, and then introduced us to us, telling us that this was Pan Dengge, the person in charge of taking us across the border today.
The man threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and said, "Just the three of you?" ”
I nodded, yes, Brother Panden.
He looked at us for a long time, then nodded, and said okay, let's go, but I have to say ugly things ahead, don't give me any moths when I'm on the way; Besides, if you can't keep up with it yourself, don't blame me for throwing you in the old woods deep in the mountains.
I said yes.
The other party didn't say much, and took us out the back door, there was a tattered jeep parked on the street, I don't know what year it was, there was a strong smell of gasoline, I sat on the passenger seat, and I saw the bug sitting in the back frowning all the time.
I don't know why, when I see the insects uncomfortable, I am also unhappy.
The car drove for more than half an hour, and when it stopped in a village, Brother Pan Deng got out of the car, and a few dirty guys came over, looked at us, and said Old Pan, what's going on?
Brother Pan Deng waved his hand and said that he would take a few people across the border, and I will pick up people, by the way, are the goods ready?
Someone replied, "It's ready."
And at this time, another person spoke out against it, saying Boss Pan, our matter is so important this time, why do you still put people in the team, in case they are public security?
Brother Pan Deng frowned, and said Have you ever seen the police with two delicate girls, you idiot?
He is the head of the place, and when he is fierce, the rest of the people dare not say much, but just stare at us with vicious eyes, but when they see the face of the worm, they can't help but lose their minds.
We didn't stay here for long, and after ten minutes, we set off again.
This time, however, there were eight more people in the ranks, a lean and strong man, most of whom wore camouflage green military uniforms and backpacks, each carrying a rifle in their hands.
Seeing this posture, my heart couldn't help but beat a drum.
These people aren't drug dealers, right?
Thinking like this, I gave Worm and Miao Nu Niannian a look and asked them to pay attention, but I didn't expect that the two of them were only in a hurry and didn't pay attention to me at all.
I don't know how long I walked, there was a sound of birdsong in front, and Brother Pan Dengge asked people to go up to connect, and after a while, the man came back and told him that it was safe and could pass.
Brother Pan Deng, who had been calm and relaxed all the way, became a little nervous at the moment, turned around, and ordered the people in the team, saying to leave quickly, don't fall behind.
I saw a stone monument in the forest not far away, and subconsciously stopped, wanting to look, but someone next to me slapped my head violently and whispered viciously: "What do you see, what is there to see about the boundary monument?" ”
Boundary marker?
So, we're already in China?
I did not argue with the man, but continued to walk for more than twenty miles, and when I saw a village with lights in front of me, everyone slowed down, and the Pandengo also walked in front of me from the front of the line.
He handed me a cigarette and said no?
I waved my hand and said no.
He grinned and said that the people have been sent over, you can go on the road now, or you can follow us to the town, what do you think?
I said let's leave now.
He nodded, and said that it was okay, and he would give the payment.
I turned my head to ask Miao Nunian for money, but as soon as I turned around, I felt that my back was being pushed by something, and Brother Pan Deng, who was still amiable just now, put his mouth to my ear at this time, and laughed in a low voice: "I mean I sent you on the road, these two girls, as a reward." ”
