9. Secret (I)
After leaving the airport, the four took to the streets of Ecuador. Whenever Song Wenbin came to this kind of place from China, he would feel that the sky was slashed with a knife, compared with the high-rise buildings in China, the buildings in these places are almost no more than two floors, most of them are some low bungalows, the good ones can have some yards, and the bad ones are only a few graffiti broken walls.
Obviously, it is different from Song Wenbin, who has been obsessed with learning English and American history all month. Huo Yu and Sutina really prepared a lot of route strategies, and as soon as they left the airport, they found a taxi nearby with a very clear goal, and drove all the way to a local bus stop.
Sitting in the car, the palm trees everywhere on both sides of the street are no different from the Panama I have been to, but the cars on the street are much more embarrassing than Panama, those buses and taxis look no different from those in China more than 20 years ago, and some even have black smoke behind their butts.
When she arrived at the bus stop, Sutina found a bus and took the other three people inside. On the bus, she had to sit with Huo Yu, and Hua Jianchen could only sit with Song Wenbin.
When they sat together, Hua Jianchen also explained to Song Wenbin with great interest: "Generally speaking, those line-takers will first come to Ecuador without a visa, and then take a bus from Ecuador to Colombia, and then find the smuggler at the Colombian border and follow the smuggler to the U.S.-Mexico border." So this first trip was very relaxing, just sitting on the bus. โ
Song Wenbin glanced at him and said with a smile: "The strategy is very careful, it took a lot of time." โ
"That's mainly due to Sutina, she really worked hard." He sighed with emotion: "I really admire you, I hate the teacher." โ
"Admire me? What do you admire about me? โ
Song Wenbin was puzzled.
Hua Jianchen looked at the two people next to him, turned sideways and lowered his voice: "I really admire you, you haven't been tempted to get along with these two for so long?" โ
Song Wenbin looked at him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"God is above... I've really never seen such a wonderful woman... It's as perfect as coming out of a male fantasy... And you've been holding on for more than a year, how did you do it......" Hanama Moaned.
Is it perfect? Song Wenbin smiled, shook his head, his expression slowly disappeared, he put on his headphones and said, "I hope you can still say the same thing after a year." โ
"A year? Wouldn't you be angry with your teacher? Hua Jian Chen asked in a low voice.
"Volunteer." Song Wenbin said.
Sure enough, as Hua Jianchen said, thanks to Sutina and Huo Yu's advance strategy, they almost encountered any obstacles on this section of the road from Ecuador to Colombia, just got out of the car, ate something, drank some water, and were checked at the border guard. The next night, they crossed more than 800 kilometers of rugged mountain roads and arrived in Bogotรก, the capital of Colombia.
Such a smooth start was great news for Song Wenbin, which meant that the 6,000km challenge was cut short to 5,000km.
But for the director of the program group, he was a little unhappy, and Bao Li was very anxious all the way to the outside of the car with the camera, hoping to shoot something different, because if there is no program effect on the way, just like this, then no one will watch the show when it is filmed.
When he got off the bus in Bogotรก, it was night, walking on the streets of Colombia, Song Wenbin found that he might have been a little too worried about Sutina's previous reminder, because all around him were scantily clad Latin beauties, with three-dimensional and delicate facial features, a toned and well-proportioned body, huge buttocks, and delicate and smooth skin, almost like a man's paradise, and far more exposed than Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Hua Jianchen has probably never filmed such a variety show, he stands on the street, watching everything is very fresh, and from time to time he has to go to the street stalls to take a look and buy drinks for everyone in the program team.
Song Wenbin saw that he was familiar and attentive, and he was a little worried that his status would not be guaranteed, so he took the initiative to come to Huo Yu and Su Tina and asked, "Are you hungry?" โ
Sutina smiled and shook her head.
That smile Song Wenbin has seen, very official.
Huo Yu said bluntly: "I'm not hungry." โ
Song Wenbin touched a soft nail, and he was a little bored with himself, so he didn't say more.
Soon, Hua Jianchen got a few glasses of orange juice back and distributed them to everyone.
When he sent it to Sutina, he asked, "Is there a response from the people here?" โ
Sutina took the orange juice, her fingers quickly clicked on her phone, and she said, "I made an appointment with a local smuggler, and they offered nine thousand dollars per person, and they arrived at the border safely, and they will come to pick us up at ten o'clock later." โ
"What about the price?"
Song Wenbin asked on the side.
Sutina didn't hear it.
"Nine thousand dollars for one person, pay the deposit first, and then pay the other half when you get to the place." Hanama helped answer.
"Nine thousand dollars?" Song Wenbin frowned: "So expensive? โ
"It's already cheap." Hua Jianchen said: "There is the kind that is very safe, but the quotation is more than 10,000 US dollars, about 100,000 yuan, which does not match our budget. โ
Song Wenbin frowned when he heard this, he didn't make a strategy here from the beginning, he felt that if he just relied on smuggling to the U.S.-Mexico border, the risk along the way was too great, if he could, he was still willing not to rely on the local smugglers, just treat it as a poor tour, and slowly find the past, after all, unlike the real stowaways, they just came to shoot a show, and they didn't really have to enter the United States to wash dishes, and the game was over when they arrived at the border.
"I think it's still..."
He just wanted to give his opinion.
"Sir, do you want to buy flowers?" Beside him, an inquiry suddenly came from English.
When I looked back, it turned out to be a little girl of about fifteen years old, standing on the side of the street, carrying a basket with some red roses in it.
"Buy flowers? Very cheap for a bunch of dollars. Seeing that he did not answer, the girl asked again.
Song Wenbin has been studying English for several months, and in addition, he has run a lot abroad, and his English level has improved a lot, so there is no obstacle to such an inquiry.
Sutina, who was bowing her head to contact the snakehead, raised her head and was about to answer subconsciously.
"Oh, no, thank you, we don't need that just yet." Song Wenbin replied in English.
Su tina was stunned on the spot, she looked at Song Wenbin with a ghostly expression.
Huo Yu's eyes widened on the side, then he raised his eyebrows and hugged his arms.
The girl who sold flowers didn't think there was anything abnormal, she picked up the flowers and said sweetly: "Sir, the female companion next to you is so beautiful, if it is paired with a bouquet of flowers, it will definitely look better~"
"I'm sorry, a bunch of dollars is too expensive, we don't have that much money, you better ask someone." Song Wenbin replied in English.
Song Wenbin is telling the truth, they only have $10,000 each of them, and they have to travel to the United States 5,000 kilometers away, these money can naturally be saved, he doesn't want to spend money in a place like flowers that has nothing to do with survival, not to mention that now the two female colleagues and him are in a state of cold war, he feels that even if he buys it himself, people may not recognize him.
The flower girl looked a little aggrieved, and refused to leave beside Song Wenbin, Song Wenbin felt that the people doing business here were a little stubborn, and frowned in displeasure.
But then Sutina came up to him, and bent down to look at the flowers in the girl's basket with an interested look.
Seeing this, the girl who sold flowers immediately flattered: "Sister, do you want to take a look, these are all freshly picked flowers today, a bouquet is only one dollar, ten bouquets are nine dollars, very cheap." โ
Sutina looked the girl's shape up and down, and saw that she was a little grizzled, her body was dusty, and her clothes were torn, so she immediately hesitated. She asked as she picked the flowers, "Have you been selling for a day...?" โ
"Yes..."
"It's not easy."
Seeing Su Tina's expression, Hua Jianchen on the side immediately stepped forward and said, "That's it, I'll buy ten bunches, how about it?" โ
His voice was magnetic and generous, and he even crouched down when he spoke, looking into the eyes of a girl, with a kind of middle-class sympathy and mature man charm.
Song Wenbin became more and more impatient at the moment, and he said in Chinese: "Hey, are we here to work or to do charity." โ
Hua Jianchen raised his head and said neither softly nor hardly: "I'm tired of the teacher, let's go abroad to represent the image, don't be too cold~"
Song Wenbin sucked his teeth and didn't speak.
On the other side, Hua Jianchen had already taken out a few dollars from his pocket, counted out two and gave them to the other party. The little girl counted the flowers, but her eyes stared at the dollar in Hua Jianchen's hand without blinking.
It wasn't until the deal was completed that she carried the basket and walked away slowly.
After buying the flowers, Hua Jian Chen took the flowers with great interest, handed them to Su Tina on the side, and said, "Teacher Su, look, this flower and your clothes today actually match quite well." โ
Sutina glanced at Song Wenbin like lightning, and Song Wenbin walked away coldly. Sutina took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, you have a heart." โ
Then Hua Jianchen took the other half of the flowers and handed them to Huo Yu, and joked: "Teacher Huo, if you don't have another flower on your chest, you must be the godfather of Columbia~"
Indeed, Huo Yu was dressed in a black hunting outfit and a black fisherman's hat, dressed as a cool brother.
"You can really say it, but forget it. I don't have that thorny thing in my hands. Huo Yu responded coldly.
Hua Jian Chen was not annoyed, and took the remaining half of the flowers with great interest and walked around with Sutina talking and laughing.
The four of them wandered the streets of Colombia for a while, when suddenly, the sound of swearing and broken glass was heard not far away.
A few people were startled, raised their heads and looked, it turned out that not far away there were several Latino women clash with a few black people, those people didn't look very old, several Latin women were protecting a little boy, and the black people were arguing fiercely, suddenly, one of the black men stretched out, snapped on the face of one of the most noisy Latin women, and beat it to vomit blood.
This slap was like igniting the flames of war, and suddenly different people on both sides shouted and cursed, and joined the battle, women stood on the side of women, blacks stood on the side of blacks, the two sides surrounded each other, fierce tearing and arguing, some Latin men turned over and jumped over the protective fence, and went up to a few blacks, and those blacks were not to be outdone, and they opened their bows left and right to fight so savagely.
Seeing this, Song Wenbin hurriedly urged the people in the program team to leave this chaotic land of right and wrong as soon as possible, but Bao Like was already suffocated, and kept approaching with small shooting equipment.
Seeing that there were more and more Latino people attacking around, and the blacks were defeated, one of the blacks took advantage of the chaos to grab the little boy who was protected by the Latino woman, ran away, crashed through the crowd, jumped over the protective fence, and ran in the direction where Song Wenbin was.
The little boy cried heartbreakingly, so that he could not be sad.
When the Latin women saw the little boy being robbed, they screamed in English.
Song Wenbin's English has improved at this time, and he can more or less understand what they are shouting, and they are shouting that Song Wenbin will help stop the black man.
But how could Song Wenbin care about this idle business, hurriedly took a few steps to get out of the way, and let the fierce black man run over.
But Huo Yu beside him didn't think so, seeing that the little boy was crying fiercely, she immediately rolled up her sleeves, intending to give the black guy a hard blow.
Song Wenbin and Huo Yu have been together for so long, they know her too well, and they almost knew what she was going to fart before they took off their pants, regardless of the tension between the two, they quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't be nosy, this matter has nothing to do with you." โ
"Don't you see the kid crying? Or what if you meet a human trafficker? Huo Yu said loudly.
"You know he's a human trafficker!?"
Song Wenbin grabbed the impulsive Huo Yu and said, "Let's go quickly!" โ
"You ......"
Huo Yu was angry.
Good guy, as soon as she was angry, Hua Jianchen rushed out like electricity, and couldn't help but stop in front of the black man who was running wildly with a child in his arms, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing, put him down!" โ
The black man holding the child didn't expect an Asian to come out halfway, and directly collided with Hua Jianchen, and the two fell to the ground together. The black man got up and went to pick up the child again, but Hanama quickly protected the child and prevented him from snatching it.
This angered the black man, he stared at the beast-like eyes, raised his hand and smashed a fist on Hua Jianchen's face, saying that his sunglasses were smashed crookedly.
"Ahh
Sutina on the side exclaimed, and the flower in her hand fell to the ground.
Hua Jianchen probably didn't expect the people outside to burst so much, and he started to do it without saying a word, and at this time, the black man's brother also broke out of the encirclement and jumped over the railing to surround Hua Jianchen.
Seeing that the fourth member of the team was about to be beaten, Song Wenbin couldn't stand it, let go of Huo Yu, walked to the side silently, and sat down.
Without his restraint, Huo Yu rushed behind the blacks almost like Sa Huan, and couldn't wait to pat one of them on the shoulder.
