11. Sudden search
As the Dodge pickup departed, the two women of the extraordinary journey shouted one after another.
Huo Yu: "What kind of plane are you doing, there is no discussion at all!" β
Su Tina looked at Song Wenbin and said quietly: "Shibei has been impressed for three days, it turns out that you can speak English yourself." β
Song Wenbin didn't bother to care about Su Tina's inexplicable resentment, he looked directly at Hua Jianchen and said dissatisfiedly: "Can you not interject in my speech." β
"I'm just ......," Hanama wanted to argue about.
Boom!!
Song Wenbin picked up a stone without warning and smashed it into the bus in the distance, and the stone landed on the side wall of the bus, causing an uneasy exclamation.
The flower girl with the basket and several teenagers jumped out from behind the bus and hurried off into the distance.
Huo Yu immediately hummed and muttered on the side: "If you don't let me hit someone, you can smash the car?" β
Hua Jianchen reacted a little faster, he fixed his eyes on the girl who sold him flowers before, and said in confusion: "Why is she still nearby......"
"Can you not be so naΓ―ve, do you think they just came for an extra five hundred dollars?"
Song Wenbin said lightly: "As long as you agree to come to them this time and follow them on the journey, they will continue to ask you for money in various ways in the future, and the amount will be bigger and bigger every time." β
"It's like you've seen it."
Sutina said disapprovingly. What Song Wenbin said did not appear in the past trip, which led to her not agreeing with his words.
Song Wenbin didn't bother to explain this kind of thing to Sutina, he had seen extreme school violence when he was in junior high school. And the beginning of those appalling acts of violence is often just a slap on the head that has not been resisted.
"Principles are principles because they are unwavering." Song Wenbin took a deep breath and said seriously.
"Poof." Huo Yu on the side sneered disdainfully after hearing this, obviously there was something else in that laughter.
Sutina's face was not very good-looking.
Hua Jianchen didn't know the dirt between these people, and said confusedly: "That...... If you don't follow the head of the snake, how are you going to get over the teacher? β
"Ride over, walk over, ride over."
Song Wenbin said lightly: "How can we pass, why do we have to pay money and let others take us over, is there too much money?" β
"But our theme is smuggling."
Hua Jianchen whispered: "Stowaways don't have visas, where can it be like tourism, if no one takes it, we won't be able to pass those checkpoints at all." β
"Do you really think you're a stowaway? Please, even if you can smuggle out, can these people in the program team follow you smuggling? They can hide in the city with a camera, but if they really go to the rainforest, what can they hide? Caught by others in minutes, hang up and fight! β
Song Wenbin's words silenced the others, indeed, if they were smuggled, the identity of the film crew would become a big problem. No one wants the content of the smuggling to be filmed directly, and these things did not seem to have been planned by the planning team at the beginning.
Song Wenbin said: "Since we can easily come to Colombia from Ecuador, it means that the management here is not as strict as imagined, my suggestion is to go all the way north first, take one step at a time, anyway, in the end, as long as we can get to the border, what do you think?" β
Hua Jianchen looked at the two girls, and seeing that they were silent, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Then let's do what the teacher says." Where to go first? Panama is it? Is it visa-free for Chinese as well? β
"It's like... Be? It doesn't seem to be, I don't know, don't ask me. Huo Yu muttered.
"It's visa-free, go to Panama first." Sutina sullenly said.
Seeing that everyone agreed with his plan, Song Wenbin felt a little more comfortable in his heart: "That's very simple, let's find a bus tomorrow." β
β¦β¦
That night, the four of them found a small hotel that was not expensive and stayed in it. In order to save money, Song Wenbin and Hua Jianchen stayed together for one night. When the camera stopped working, Hua Jianchen kept chatting with Song Wenbin in fragments, asking him about some things. But the tired teacher was not very satisfied with Hua Jianchen's interruption of his negotiation process earlier, so he only politely said a few polite words to him, and then began to pretend to be asleep.
Early the next morning, the four of them left the hotel with their bags on their backs, and after some questioning, they got on the bus again and drove in the direction of Panama among the heat waves and palm trees.
Song Wenbin didn't have much to do in the car, so he began to rummage through his backpack, which contained some junior high school English textbooks that he had brought out. Seeing Song Wenbin like this, Hua Jian Chen on the side couldn't help but ask curiously: "I'm tired of Mr. Teacher, are you fighting so hard now, I remember that Mr. Su helped you translate it before." β
"Yes." Song Wenbin replied.
"Why don't you continue to ask her to translate, or let someone else translate, I don't speak English very well, but I can cope with these conversations during the trip."
"And what do you think I should do?" Song Wenbin asked rhetorically.
"You just need to concentrate on the whole work." Hua Jianchen said: "Professional people do professional things, don't they? β
Song Wenbin was stunned, handed the backpack to him, and said, "Help me look at the bag, I can memorize words." β
Hua Jian Chen didn't get an answer, and he wasn't annoyed, so he kindly took the backpack and put it at his feet.
Song Wenbin leaned back on the chair of the car and silently memorized the words, his eyes closed. But Sutina, who was sitting on the edge of the corridor next door, was a little restless, her eyes drifted in the direction of Song Wenbin from time to time, looking at his appearance of chanting words, and the corners of her mouth kept twitching.
The journey from Colombia to Panama is not close, and the trip in the middle is also very boring, people keep getting on and off the bus, plus this old-fashioned bus has no air conditioning, and the road conditions are also poor, Song Wenbin sat in the car and was shaken, his consciousness gradually became a little blurred, and he fell asleep with his head tilted.
Huo Yu on the other side also dozed off in a daze, nodding his head non-stop.
Sutina, who had been fidgeting, finally couldn't help it, she quietly pushed Hua Jianchen, Hua Jianchen was startled and looked at her.
Sutina gestured and pointed to Song Wenbin's backpack.
Hanama was stunned for a moment, and looked at director Bao Li, who was holding a small video camera behind him. Then he pointed to Song Wenbin's backpack and spread his hand.
Su tina didn't care about these things, she turned over directly, lifted Song Wenbin's backpack, dragged it to herself, and then rummaged through it, and soon, she found an English dictionary inside, as well as an English notebook full of notes.
She couldn't help but open the notebook, only to see that it was densely packed with English words, at first they were very simple words, but as she turned back, those words began to become more and more complex, more and more like that. Looking at those notes, she bit her lip tightly, it was obviously evidence of learning, but it was particularly dazzling in her eyes.
At this point, she flipped to one of the pages of her notebook, which contained a crumpled sheet of paper with simple words written repeatedly.
I like short hair
Her eyes widened, and she looked at the back of the paper, and it was written, "I don't like long hair."
Sutina was petrified for a moment.
At this time, the bus passed by a pit and jolted. Huo Yu, who was dozing off next to him, stood up suddenly, opened his eyes dimly, and Su Tina was excited, and immediately put the page back into the notebook.
Huo Yu saw Su Tina holding the notebook, rubbed her eyes in a daze, and asked, "What are you doing?" β
Sutina wiped the corners of her eyes and whispered coldly, "Check the learning progress of the tired teacher." β
Huo Yu instantly came to his senses, stretched out his head to look at Su Tina's backpack, but Su Tina stuffed the notebook into the bag at the speed of light, and then kicked the bag back to Hua Jian Chen next to him.
"He really learned English..."Huo Yu muttered quietly.
"Hmph."
Sutina snorted coldly.
"You taught him? See how fast he's improving? Huo Yu asked in a low voice beside him.
Creak.
The corners of the girl's mouth made a tooth-aching grinding sound.
"You think I'm that merciful?" She whispered viciously.
"It's also... The disciples of the church starved to death the master..."
Huo Yu glanced at Song Wenbin, who was sleeping by the window on the right side, and said casually: "If it goes on like this, no one will do the job of translating..."
Sutina couldn't stand it anymore, she turned her head sharply and stared at Huo Yu.
Huo Yu saw that her face was angry, her hands were clenched into fists, and her eyes were still a little red, she couldn't help but be startled, and whispered vigilantly: "What are you staring at me like this?" β
"Old .......... Six .........."
Sutina squeezed two words out between her teeth.
Huo Yu was a little confused, although they had quarreled at the beginning, but that was a long time ago. To be honest, she hasn't been angry much since she was an English teacher for a short day, but seeing Sutina so angry, she is a little incomprehensible.
Just as she was about to ask Su Tina what to order, Hua Jianchen on the side suddenly said nervously: "Hey, Teacher Su, Teacher Huo, look, there are a few police cars coming behind." β
Huo Yu looked along his fingers, and sure enough, he saw a few taels of black and white police off-road vehicles driving in the rearview mirror. Approaching the bus at a rapid pace.
Sutina also obviously sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and she briefly put away her anger and looked at the police car that was approaching quickly.
Creak.
With the sound of tires rubbing against the sand, the dusty bus was stopped on the side of the road by a police car.
The Central American aunts and uncles in the car looked at each other, no one knew what was going on, and Song Wenbin was still sitting in the seat and falling asleep.
Bang bang bang!
Several police officers wearing sunglasses got out of the car and knocked on the door of the bus unceremoniously.
The driver opened the door.
Hello.
Two lanky police dogs were led up from the car by another black police officer, and they began to sniff around. A police officer started checking the driver's license.
The passengers stood up one after another, looking nervous.
β¦β¦
Song Wenbin was sleeping incense, and suddenly felt that someone was shaking his body, so he woke up a little reluctantly, and was about to ask the Morning Glory Master next to him, but the next second he saw a white man standing next to him wearing sunglasses, the big man was wearing a police uniform, earplugs, and a submachine gun, and said something to him and Hua Jianchen.
Song Wenbin was frightened by the gun and the other party's posture, and before he could hear it clearly, Hua Jianchen quickly stood up and bent down and said in his ear: "I'm tired of the teacher, they are here to search, let you stand up." β
Search?
Song Wenbin was a little incomprehensible.
Hua Jianchen said again: "These people seem to be searching to see if anyone is carrying drugs...."
When Song Wenbin heard him say this, it suddenly dawned on him that Colombia is the world's largest cocaine producer, and such a search is probably a local specialty, which must be tasted.
So he didn't dare to slack off, quickly stood up, and raised his hand.
Those policemen were not idle, and pulled Song Wenbin to search him honestly and unceremoniously, Song Wenbin could see the thick body hair on the strong man's body, as well as the English letters on his body.
DEAβ¦
Seeing the letters, Song Wenbin was slightly shocked, he thought that what he encountered was a routine search at the border station, but he didn't expect to meet the DEA police, you know, these people are much more powerful than the local police, after all, they are well-equipped Americans.
After some searching, nothing was found, DEA waved his hand at Song Wenbin and said, "Take the things, get out of the car and wait." β
Song Wenbin didn't dare to say more, so he quickly took his things and stepped off the bus, and there was already a row of Latinos standing under the bus, holding big bags, looking at the ongoing search on the bus with a numb and wooden face, and seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing.
Not long after, Sutina Huo Yu and Hua Jianchen were also driven out of the car, and several people gathered in the cactus on the side of the road, whispering.
"Is this looking for a drug dealer?" Hua Jianchen asked in a low voice.
"Looks like so." Sutina replied.
"Isn't the DEA American...?" Huo Yu frowned: "Why are you here?" β
"They followed the source of drugs in the United States, presumably this should not be a small case, otherwise it would not have attracted so many people to go out en masse......," Song Wenbin touched his chin and looked at the police cars thoughtfully.
"Huh?" Sutina let out a confused voice: "How do you know about such a thing? β
"Learned." Song Wenbin said.
Indeed, he didn't do anything else during this time, and he just studied this thing.
Su Tina was shocked when she saw that Song Wenbin had suddenly become so studious. Huo Yu shook her head and hugged her arms, to be honest, Song Wenbin made her feel a little strange and estranged.
A few people were talking about each other, when suddenly the police dog, which had been sniffing everywhere, barked wildly, dragged the police officer to the tires of the bus, and barked at the tires non-stop.
Woohoo!!
Without warning, in the crowd waiting outside, the truck driver turned around and ran wildly into the desert. Before Song Wenbin could react, screams and continuous gunshots came from the car.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Several bullet holes appeared in the glass of the window in an instant.
At this moment, the police inside and outside the car seemed to press some kind of start switch, and they all pulled out their guns, aimed them at the people standing in place, and roared: "Get down!" Hold your head in your hands!! β
Where has Song Wenbin seen this posture, the good guy has gone to so many countries, and he has never experienced such a shocking change. I was stunned for a while.
Huo Yu reacted quickly, directly kicked Song Wenbin and Su Tina's legs and stomachs, pressed their heads, and took their shoulders to prostrate on the sand.
As soon as he got down, an DEA standing next to the car opened fire.
