311 Turbulent
After an hour's drive in the rugged mountains, the road ahead faded away.
Sonny hits the brakes and stops the van next to a shankaka.
"Bang bang."
He slapped the chair twice and woke up the sleepy man behind him: "Everyone get out of the car, it's time to walk." ”
Ethan pushed the door open and stretched.
Looking around, there are dense woods everywhere and you can hear a few birdsongs.
Looking at his watch, it was barely nine o'clock in the morning, and Sonny said that it would take more than half a day to travel, and the next thing should be the main event.
After all the people in the car got out, the silence of the mountains and forests was broken by the noisy voices.
With a few angry curses from Sonny, it soon fell silent again.
He set aside five minutes to solve the physiological problems for everyone, smoking when they should smoke, drinking water when they should drink.
Time passed quickly, and Sonny took everyone into the mountains to continue their smuggling journey.
Everyone in the group, including Sonny, was walking as if they were on a rapid march.
They trekked incessantly through the mountains, and by an hour Ethan was wearing clothes that were indistinguishable from those around him, covered with grass clippings, dust, and sweat.
I have to say that Lao Mo's patience is really super strong.
In their group, there were all women, children, and women, but none of them complained of being tired, and they all gritted their teeth and moved forward.
In fact, for these people, it is already a go.
Either you can successfully cross the border, brush dishes, cut branches, mix gangs in the United States, and eat and drink spicy food.
Either die on the road or get caught by the border enforcement team.
In short, there is no turning back.
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Sonny finally stopped in front of a hillside.
"Take a five-minute break."
It's not like a flat road, you need to go over the mountains.
After walking for more than three hours on the mountain road, Sonny was also sweating profusely.
In fact, now, he rarely takes the initiative to lead the team, and in most cases, he lets his subordinates lead the team.
Because it was Baz's request, he personally went out today,
Ethan sat down on the trunk of a tree that had fallen to the ground, took off his cap, and fanned his face with a cool breeze.
It was stuffy and hot all the way, and he was tired enough.
Sonny walked over to him and sat down, panting and said, "How's it going, can you hold on?" ”
"No problem."
Compared to now, Sonny is the one who is tired enough.
Ethan took out his cigarette case and handed him one:
"I thought it was a dangerous journey, and if it was just walking, it would be tiring, but for them, it didn't seem like a big deal."
Sonny lit his cigarette, took off his straw hat, and narrowed his eyes:
"That's their luck to meet me, and in this kind of place, the most dangerous thing is not the wilderness."
What he meant, Ethan understood in seconds.
In most cases, the most ferocious creatures that people can encounter are often of their own kind.
When they encounter some ruthless people, they will directly kill people and plunder their property.
Although these smugglers do not carry any valuable property on their bodies, what is valuable in the world is not only the things outside the body, but also the things inside the body.
In this kind of place, the heaven should not be called the earth, and these smugglers can only be slaughtered.
Sonny bit his cigarette and got up and walked to the side, "You can take a break." ”
Seeing that the people around him were eating the food he was carrying, Ethan also opened his backpack and took out what Jaber had prepared for himself.
In the car, the smell was unpleasant, he didn't even eat breakfast, and his stomach was already hungry.
When you open the bag of bread and cake, you will be greeted by a rich aroma.
Lan Ma and these people never eat and drink softly, they buy the best food, and the cake is sprinkled with chocolate crumbs and strawberries are decorated among them.
Although the cream has been squeezed and deformed, it does not affect the taste at all.
He picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, but before he could chew it, the sound of swallowing saliva sounded next to him.
An old man with dry skin and a little girl in her teens sat not far from him.
Noticing Ethan's look, the little girl with the double ponytail hurriedly lowered her head and continued to nibble on the cold corn tortilla in her hand.
The little girl sniffed a few times, and the sweet smell seemed to be close at hand.
She blinked violently and looked at a large piece of cake in front of her, saliva secreting wildly.
"No need, sir, thank you."
The old Mexican man next to her hurriedly waved his hand, and the green tendons on his withered arms burst out.
"It's okay, I still have it here."
Ethan gestured to the large bag in his hand, and Garbor knew that he had a large amount of food, and it contained a large bag of food.
Seeing the girl's shy look, he smiled and shoved the cake into her hand.
"Thank you."
The girl nodded obediently at the signal of the old Mexican man beside her and gave Ethan a sweet smile.
Anyway, he couldn't finish it himself, so he took a few more pieces of bread and handed them to the old Mexican man.
From the mouth of the old Mexican man, he learned that the two grandchildren were neighbors who went to a small border town in the United States to seek refuge.
And Jabber will also be waiting for him in that border town.
That's where their trip is going to be, and handing over the diamonds and watches to Jabber, who needs to make another trip to get back overnight, and then go back as normal.
It takes exactly one day to go back and forth.
There is no way, otherwise the entry and exit records will not be matched.
The break ended quickly and everyone continued on their way.
Since he shared the food with the two grandchildren during the meal, Ethan simply came together with them.
Walking with your head buried is also boring, and chatting a few words can pass the time.
After an hour, the sound of running water could be heard in the distance.
Anna, the name of the little girl, and she and her grandfather, as well as the people around them, heard the sound of running water, and the joy was visible to the naked eye.
Ethan inquired and learned that as long as they crossed the river in front, they had already crossed the border, and the matter was more than half successful.
Everyone's pace quickened and they walked forward excitedly.
Soon, a turbulent river appeared in front of Ethan, the surface of the river was more than twenty meters wide, and the flowing water hit the stones on the shore with a rattling sound.
Ethan walked quickly over to Sonny, looked at the rapids and whispered:
"Shall we just swim across?"
"Walk over there."
Unexpectedly, Sonny gave an answer that Ethan didn't expect.
Seeing his puzzled expression, Sonny patiently introduced.
These snake heads, who spent more than a dozen lives here, waded out of a road, as long as they walked along the road, the deepest part would not exceed one meter.
There are still dangers, but they are much safer than swimming past.
Under Sonny's command, everyone squatted behind the bushes, and after carefully looking at it for a few minutes, he made sure that there was no one on the other side, and then commanded in a low voice.
