In a whirlpool bay area, Dazhang and I paddled desperately to the shore. According to Dazhang, there is a waterfall with a drop of several meters in front of it, and if you can't get to the shore here, you can only wait for the corpse to be collected.

I've done my best to get this far, and if he hadn't said that the first meeting place with the fat man was here, I would have gone ashore in front of me where the water was gentle. Lying on the rocks on the shore, I tried my best to relax my overdrawn body, and the stones by the river were warmer than my body. Before I could rest, it started to get dark and the temperature dropped quickly.

Da Zhang had to paddle with one hand and keep the balance of the wood, and the physical strength consumed was much greater than mine, and he dragged his collapsed body to stand up and said, "Song Gang can't come before dark, let's not wait by the river, find a dry place to build a fire and bake clothes." Get ready to go to the next meeting point. ”

We found a sheltered place and built a fire. Dazhang went out for a spin, brought back some root food, and threw it into the fire to roast. After a while, Dazhang dug out a black thing from the fire, handed it to me, and said, "Eat it." It fills your stomach. ”

I tasted it, and it wasn't too unpalatable, but it didn't taste good and was a little astringent. My stomach was already empty, and I had consumed too much physical strength, so I gobbled it up to fill my stomach before I felt better. At this time, I suddenly realized that my head did not hurt anymore. I don't know if it was the cold water or the moment of frightening under the water. With my stomach filled, and the fire providing the warmth, drowsiness immediately came up, and I gave up thinking about it in a daze. Let's get some sleep first.

I woke up in the middle of the night from the cold, and when I woke up and saw that the fire was about to go out, I quickly added a few pieces of wood to the fire to make it burn again. The sound of my wood woke Da Zhang, and he was also frozen and curled up like a shrimp, so he got up and gathered in front of the fire to set up a few logs and make the fire hot.

I saw that I couldn't sleep for a while anyway, so I asked him: "How did you discuss it with the fat man, we drifted down this way and were too far away from the border, and the way back was not easy." ”

Da Zhang pulled the clothes draped on his body and said, "You can't go back the way you came, as soon as the nine-headed bird dies, the area will be in chaos." The kidnapper Liu wants to swallow the territory of the nine-headed bird, and other forces will also intervene, and the kidnapper Liu has too much appetite, and he can't swallow that place at all. You see, it's a scuffle, and it won't be over in a short time. We'll have to go back to China on a different path. ”

"I didn't see the kidnapper Liu, he floated down?" I asked Da Zhang.

"He swam to the other side early." Dazhang "snorted" and said, "The pickup truck stuck in the tree did not fall, and the machine gun seems to be broken, otherwise the abductor Liu would not dare to swim to the opposite shore, and it would be safe to drift down." ”

"Why did you change the meeting place? Can't we wait here? I asked, puzzled.

"As soon as the kidnapper Liu's side starts, this area will be affected. We can't leave if we don't leave quickly, they don't care what nationality you are, as long as a stranger lets them hit them and shoot directly, there is no reason to talk about it. Da Zhang took a branch and stirred the fire, and said seemingly casually.

In this kind of place, I can only listen to the two of them, this environment is too unfamiliar to me, but I am worried that the fat man can't help but nervously ask Da Zhang: "What should we do if the fat man leaves?" If he doesn't leave in time, won't he be blocked here? ”

"Don't worry about him." Da Zhang still pulled the fire and said, "He is familiar with this place, and he didn't go ashore from this side, either he went ashore in front of him or went downstream." If you go down, you leave this danger zone, and if you go ashore upstream earlier than we land, there will be no danger. In fact, the two of us are more dangerous now, we have to leave quickly at dawn, and we can't leave if we are really blocked here. ”

I was relieved to hear him say this, the relationship between the fat man and his birth and death, he said it so calmly, the fat man should not have a problem. "Where is our next meeting? Far away? "Of course I have to worry about the road ahead.

"It's a bit of a long way." Da Zhang frowned and said, "We will first walk along the river for a while, then eastward, and finally enter from Taluo." ”

Before I set off, I knew that I was going to enter Myanmar, so I did my homework to get a general understanding of the China-Myanmar border. I thought about it and almost jumped, Nima was almost in Laos, which was still a bit far away. There are at least five or six rivers to cross this way, and this is a tropical rainforest climate. I estimate that it will take at least half a year to walk back to China, and I will become savages.

I immediately voiced my doubts. Dazhang looked at me inexplicably and said, "We can take the car." Why walk the jungle. ”

"We crossed the border, what if we let them catch us?" I asked him with wide eyes.

Da Zhang's eyes widened as well. "Don't you say who knows that you came across the border, most of the mountains in this place are decided by local forces, and no one cares where you came from. As long as you have money, you can do anything. Da Zhang said with some embarrassment: "The question is do you have money?" I really don't have one here. ”

I touched my pocket, but luckily I had my wallet and phone all there. I thought about it and said, "I have all the renminbi here, does it work here?" ”

Dazhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It works, it works." Here, apart from the dollar, it is the strongest. ”

The purse was in the pocket of my pants, and when I took it out, it was still damp. When I opened my wallet, there were more than 2,000 yuan in it, and I was relieved to see it. "The renminbi is a hard currency, and this money is enough for us to go to Talo."

After talking for a while, I fell asleep in a daze. When I woke up, the fire had gone out, and Dazhang took a few washed fruits and handed them to me and said, "Eat something before you go." ”

The standard tropical fruit, still naturally ripe, fragrant and sweet, is much more delicious than the root plant I ate last night. After eating the fruit, we met a bus on the highway along the river, and the big Burmese language did not seem to be good, and said a few words to the driver, but the driver did not understand and asked us directly in Chinese: "Where are you going?" ”

Da Zhang's face was flushed, and when he got into the car, he explained to me: "I speak Vietnamese better than Burmese." ”

There were a lot of people in the car, and Da Zhang and I looked obviously different from each other in terms of height and appearance, but no one showed surprise or abnormality, as if they were used to it. However, it seems that many people speak Chinese, and I saw some people expressing disdain for Dazhang's explanation.

The road was unexpectedly smooth, and we even had a day of rest in Jingdong, at which point I was really relaxed. The place where I made an appointment with the fat man was a small village called Lao Wokeng, there was no hotel, and Da Zhang and I borrowed to live in a Dai border people's house. After waiting for three days, the fat man was late.

Of course I didn't give the fat man a good look. I walked with Dazhang Road for two days, rested in Jingdong for a day, and waited for him here for three days. Don't start yesterday, not only am I restless, but Dazhang is also a little breathless, and I keep muttering that it should have arrived. He's fine, he smiled when he met, and it was fine.

PS: I've been hanging on the tail of the list, and I still fall off the list from time to time, it's really worrying to watch. It's really cold today, everyone goes out and wears more clothes.
