Chapter 36: Wandering in the Mountains, Kaniya's Hatred
"Is Mina asleep?" said Kanya's soft voice outside the door.
"Not yet, come in. Mina said.
"My mother just found the ointment, and she asked me to bring it to you. Kania pushed the door open and walked into the room.
"Thank you, Mother, for me. Mina sat up from the head of the bed.
"You're welcome, this ointment was made by my father from gathering plants from the mountains before, and it should help you with your injuries. Kanya said.
"You take off your pajamas and let me put them on for you. Kania commanded.
"Do I need to get out of the way?" said Chasing Dragon, sitting at the head of the bed.
"This little thing between lovers makes you respect each other like guests?" said Kania with a pursed smile.
"It seems that you are really a human being, and you know a lot. Mina smiled.
"I'm 19, I know everything I should know, and my mother is about to urge me to get married. Kania finished with a worried look on her face.
"When a girl grows up, she always has to get married, just like a swallow will leave its nest to fend for itself when it grows up. Maina said as she removed her dressing gown, exposing the bruises and swelling areas of her chest.
"Yes. Kania said with a hint of helplessness on her face.
"Do you have a partner?" asked Mina curiously.
"No!" Kania replied shyly. "But I can't find a partner until I have fulfilled my wish. ”
"And what is your wish?" asked Myna curiously.
"You want to know?" said Kania as she applied the black ointment in her hand evenly to the red and swollen skin on Myna's chest, and then pulled out a white bandage and wrapped it around her chest twice.
"Yes, if you will tell me. Mina replied.
"I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone, let alone my mother. Kanya said earnestly.
"Of course, it's our secret. Mina reached out and stroked Kania's hand.
When she touched Kanya's palms, she was not surprised, because they did not look like the hands of a little girl at all. The thick calluses have covered the entire palm, like the hands of a farmer who has been working on the farm for many years.
Mina didn't show surprise on her face. She understands that in this impoverished mountainous area, men are the pillars of the family. And Kanya's father is long gone, and perhaps she has to take on this responsibility early in order to make a living.
"Kanya, it's time to tell me what you want. Mina said.
"Kill someone...... I'm going to kill him!" said the silent Kania slowly.
"This is your heart's desire, and you want revenge. Mina couldn't help but be stunned by her words.
"Yes. Kania replied.
She said word by word with a firm gaze, and if she hadn't heard it with her own ears, no one would have believed these words, coming from the mouth of the fair-eyed girl in front of her.
Her words were as hard as ice, her eyes were as cold as ice, and finally the hatred in her heart was like a knife coming out of her eyes.
Maina did not speak, nor did she comfort. Because she sympathizes with all those in the world who wait for the dawn in the night, and she sympathizes with all those who are angry because of the injustice of the world.
"What kind of person is he?" asked Chasing Dragon.
"He's a beast...... But animals also have feelings, jackals, but jackals eat meat and spit out bones. Kania said coldly.
"He bullied you? Who is he? You can tell me why. Chasing the dragon said.
"I know you care about me, and you must have kung fu to come out of the rainforest alive. But there is nothing powerless in this matter, including you. Kania didn't want to go any further, she knew that whoever got involved in this matter would have only one outcome, and that was death.
Of course, she didn't want to see them die for herself, so she could only avoid it.
Kania turned to leave, closed the door and returned to her room.
"What do you think of the current situation?" said Mina.
"In this remote and backward mountainous area, apart from those drug lords, it is estimated that there is no other organization to do evil. I've personally slaughtered a few cunning and fierce pirates, so what's there to fear from these drug lords!" said Chasing Dragon.
"Do you want to avenge Kania? what do you remember you promised me?" said Myna.
"I didn't say you had to cause trouble, I promised you to take care of the overall situation. Chasing the dragon said.
"Okay, then good night. Mina said.
It's dawn.
People who go to bed early tend to wake up early.
There was another busy sound of chopping vegetables and cooking rice in the kitchen.
Chasing Dragon had already woken up, but he was still lying in bed, and he wanted to know the reason behind the murder of Kaniya's father. And what is the background of what Kania said about him?
"Boys, it's time for breakfast. Salvador trumpeted from the kitchen.
After a while, Maina and Kania were already sitting at the table, and the dishes were still four dishes and one soup as yesterday, the only thing that had changed was that there seemed to be more oil flowers on the soup noodles.
"This is the life of our family, you young people should not be used to it. Salvado said.
"Yes, I like it, I can't eat such a hearty meal many times. Chasing the dragon said with a smile.
"Then eat more. Salvado smiled.
"Kanya also eat more, and come with me to harvest the fruit later. Salvado said.
"They're coming to collect the goods recently?" Kania asked.
"That's right. Salvador replied.
"If I can help, let me go," said Chasing Dragon. He was taken in by Kania's family here, and he always wanted to help Kanya's family. Of course, others also saw his kindness.
"Do you see it? Mother. Kania asked.
"Well, it's good that young people are willing to work, so let's go now. Salvado said. A smile welled up on her aging cheeks.
On the mountain road behind the village, Chasing Long carries a basket made of bamboo strips on his shoulder. He was following closely behind Salvado, her steps so fast and light that no one could believe that she was over half a hundred years old.
As they climbed over the hills, they saw fields of bright flowers, and the flowers were blooming all over the hills.
When Chasing Long saw these fiery red flowers, he was stunned, this was the poppy. He then thought that Salvado's family lived by growing opium poppies.
In a moment, Salvado's sturdy figure was in the sea of flowers, and she took a special knife from her back basket.
Chasing Dragon could tell that it was a sickle-shaped knife, the blade was not very sharp, and she was holding the knife and carefully scraping the viscous black paste of the poppy shell.
In a short time, layers of viscous black paste had accumulated on the surface of the knife, and she scraped the blade repeatedly on the mouth of the bowl until the last bit of black paste on the knife surface was loaded into the bowl, and her fine lines showed a satisfied smile on her face.
Chasing Long knew that the black paste flowing on the shell of these poppy fruits was the raw material for making drugs, and the source of income for Kaniya's family was also obtained from selling these raw materials.
"It's a pity that he can't see this year's harvest. Salvador sighed.
"Auntie, can I tell me about Kaniya's father's death?" asked Chasing Dragon.
"Hey...... It doesn't hurt to tell you. Salvador said with a sigh.
"Our village all makes a living from the cultivation of opium poppies, which are sinful in the eyes of outsiders, but in my opinion sinful things can feed a family, and nothing is more important than that. In order to sell the goods at a good price, my husband made an agreement with the drug lord factory to provide raw materials on a regular basis. But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, how can there be drought and flood to ensure the harvest when planting crops?" said Savado, his voice choked up.
Her kind gaze stayed in the distance, relieved her mood and said: "One day a year ago, the drug lord factory sent people to pick up the goods at home, but due to the weather, the raw materials were not collected, so they used this excuse to kidnap Kanya by the way. And my husband ended up in the drug lord factory trying to rescue her, and you know the end result. ”
Salvado's eyes were moist after speaking, and tears finally came out of his eyes...... Perhaps there is nothing sadder than the death of a husband!
"Are they the ones who are coming to pick up the goods these two days?" asked Chasing Dragon.
"Yes. Salvado replied as he reached out and wiped his cheeks with tears.
"I want to know more about the specifics here, can you tell us a little bit more?" Chasing Long said.
"Young man, what do you want to know?" Salvado said.
"Let's talk about the drug lord factory. Chasing the dragon said.
"If you're just talking casually, I can tell you, and if you have other adventurous ideas, I'd advise you to dismiss them sooner rather than later. Salvado said with a sinking face.
"Why? I wanted to go and see. Chasing the dragon said.
"You're a brave young man, but I don't want you to take any chances. Salvado said seriously.
"Some people are born adventurous, and no one can change his mind!" said Chasing Dragon, looking at her with a determined gaze.
"If there is no invitation from the factory insiders, anyone who is rash and good will only die. Salvado said solemnly.
"I'm well aware of that. Chasing the dragon replied calmly.
"Oh my God...... Today's young people are really crazy, knowing that if they go to that place, they will die, but they still want to go. Salvado said with a look of surprise, as if she could never understand the young man's thoughts.
"Has anyone been to the drug lord factory before?" asked Chasing Dragon, who wanted to know what this mysterious factory was like from Salvado.
"I heard that there were also young people who came close to the factory before and died hundreds of meters away. Salvado said.
Hearing her say this, the young man must have been killed by the snipers in the factory. This information is very important for Chasing Dragon, and it seems that this factory must have a secret that no one knows, and Chasing Dragon speculates.
"You don't have to go to find them. Salvado said, looking into the distance.
"Oh. Chasing the dragon replied.
"I saw them coming. Salvado said.
Chasing Long followed her gaze, and on the rolling hilly road opposite, a large army-green truck was speeding towards the village, accompanied by a thick black smoke behind the rear of the car, suggesting that the truck was some years old.
"Young man, let's go home quickly. Salvado said anxiously.
"Okay. Chasing the dragon said.
At that moment, they put their baskets on their shoulders and hurried to the village.
