Ding Yuan and Su Qingguo stayed up all night, sitting at the door of the wooden house, chatting and talking about their passionate youth years. Sometimes they laughed, sometimes they cried, and sometimes they looked at the reflected stars. The river surface was quietly lost in thought, but Shen Sanquan temporarily relaxed the tight string in his mind and slept until dawn.
In the early morning, Shen Sanquan was woken up by bursts of fragrance. Su Qingguo made mouth-watering millet porridge, adding spices unique to this place and a little bit of wild pheasant meat. The taste was very unique. , watching Shen Sanquan walk out of the room, he smiled and said, "Sanquan, did you sleep well last night?"
"Uncle Qingguo, you slept well!"
"Just be practical, wash your face and eat!" Su Qingguo set out the dishes and chopsticks. At this time, Ding Yuan also walked in from the outside, holding two lively crucian carp in his hand, and walked in with a contented look on his face.
“I caught these two things early in the morning, and I can have a good meal at noon!”
The millet porridge was even more delicious than Shen Sanquan imagined. After three large bowls, he stood up calmly and calmly.
"Are you full?" Ding Yuan asked.
Sanquan responded and slowly walked out of the wooden house.
The early morning sunlight poured in like gold and shone on Shen Sanquan's face. He half-squinted his eyes and carefully looked at this strange place.
A river that is not too clear stretches into the distance, as far as the eye can see. On both sides of the river, there are rows of well-proportioned wooden houses, closely together, and all the houses are built on the water. It has a different flavor. This river is probably a stable one. You can imagine that if it was built next to the Nangang Reservoir, it would definitely be completely submerged in the rainy season. Shen Sanquan unknowingly compared this place with the beautiful Nangang Village. Got up.
There were several dilapidated fishing boats floating on the river, emitting noisy roars of machines. Women were washing clothes quietly in front of their homes, while children were naked, and the sounds of playing and diving were heard one after another.
Slightly dark skin was the characteristic of these people that Shen Sanquan saw. Looking at the attire of these people, perhaps this was a place where poor people lived together.
"Sanquan, do you still like it here?" Ding Yuan walked out, took out a cigarette and handed it to Shen Sanquan.
“This place is better than I imagined!”
"Really?" Ding Yuan shook his head, "I hope you can always maintain this idea."
There was something in Ding Yuan's words, but Shen Sanquan didn't pay much attention. He sat down on the wooden board in front of the door and stretched his legs into the cold river water.
"Uncle Ding, what is this river called?"
Ding Yuan sat leaning against Shen Sanquan, "It's hard to explain to you the name of this place in Burmese, but we Chinese call it 'Black Cave." The people living here are poor and barely survive on a meager livelihood. , look!" Ding Yuan pointed to the fishing boat on the river, "A fishing boat is bought by five or six families who pool their money together, but it is very difficult to really feed five families. Among them, there are men A large number of people make a living by selling their physical strength, while women have to stay at home and take care of their children."
"Selling your physical strength?" Shen Sanquan asked.
"Cultivation of poppy gardens requires a lot of labor. As a warlord, naturally he is not willing to use his army to do these things, so the value of people like Heikong has been fully reflected."
Everyone wants to live well, and life no longer gives them the right to choose.
Seeing the confused expression on Shen Sanquan's face, Ding Yuan said nothing and stood up on his own, "Sanquan, you stay at home well. Qingguo and I will go out to do some errands and we'll be back at noon."
"I know, Uncle Ding!"
Watching the two people walking across the wooden bridge, Shen Sanquan was also bored. He walked into the room and took out the boning knife. From the day Ding Yuan taught him, he has never stopped practicing, although compared to Ding Yuan's temperament is still a lot worse, but now he can almost master it, and he has also made a lot of progress in terms of body shape and strength. Just like Ding Yuan said, the only thing he lacks is ruthlessness. , Although Shen Sanquan has a bit of gangsterism in his bones, his kindness is undeniable. It is really difficult to let him stab someone's chest with a knife without touching the bottom line of his heart.
After practicing for two hours, Shen Sanquan was dripping with sweat. He couldn't help but have the idea of jumping into the river to take a bath, so he did it. This was his style. He took off his shirt, and Shen Sanquan slowly I walked out of the door and came to the place where I had been sitting for a long time. There was a wooden step next to it, which was just right for getting into the water.
Just as he took a step, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the river, and a wooden speedboat sailed over from a distance. It was an assault boat with an engine at the rear, like a disemboweled boat. It looks like a pea in bloom, with a long and narrow body and extremely fast speed. It is most suitable for traveling in such a river.
Waves of water arose on the river, causing the women washing clothes nearby to scream. Standing on the assault boat were three soldiers with firearms in their hands. Shen Sanquan looked at it intently. This kind of American military uniform was the same as last night. Ye Han was wearing exactly the same clothes, except that the color he wore was darker. The assault boat finally stopped at the wooden house opposite Shen Sanquan. The three of them stepped onto the board majestically and rushed in. After a long time in the house, a series of gunshots were suddenly heard, and then three people were seen walking out calmly. The last person walking at the end was dragging a corpse full of blood in his hands, and Shen Sanquan You can clearly see the blood stains on the wooden board.
A woman rushed out of the house like crazy, crying and shouting. Before she could reach her, she was immediately kicked to the ground. One of them cursed and raised his submachine gun and shot decisively.
The bullet penetrated the wooden board and immediately turned the woman into a sieve.
As if nothing had happened, the three of them took out their cigarettes and lit them, then kicked the two corpses into the river one by one.
Blood instantly stained the river surface red.
The three of them jumped on the assault boat, laughed loudly, and walked away.
But the two corpses were still floating on the river.
Shen Sanquan was stunned and gave up the idea of taking a bath in the water. This was the first day, and he saw two people dead. How many more people would die for no reason in the future, he really couldn't imagine, and the river water on his mobile phone How many people's blood is contained in it is really a question worth considering.
Many people gradually walked out of the house on the other side, looking at the two corpses on the river. Their eyes were indifferent, without joy, let alone sadness, they just looked at them quietly.
A person appeared again on the blood-stained wooden board, a young girl carrying a basket. When she saw the two floating corpses on the river, screams and cries resounded throughout the river. Shen San Fist could clearly see her decisively jumping into the water, swimming towards the two corpses in the distance, and dragging her way towards the shore.
There were two corpses, a man and a woman, both adults. The wooden planks were still about one meter away from the river. No matter how strong the girl was, she couldn't drag the two people up. The guys next to them who looked at them as if they were nothing, were using their dead-on faces. He looked at me with his eyes and was stunned that no one was there to help him.
Shen Sanquan couldn't stand it any longer. Perhaps the girl's cry was too miserable. He hurriedly walked into the house, put on the top he had just taken off and walked out. When he got to the door, he suddenly thought of something and quickly She turned around, put the boning knife on her waist, and walked onto the wooden bridge leading to the opposite side. The girl's crying continued, but she was determined to hold on to the two corpses. , just don’t let go.
Shen Sanquan sped up and started running with his legs, climbing over the wooden railings, passing through several shabby wooden houses, and appeared in front of the girl. He stretched out his hand and poured the river water first. He pulled up the dead male corpse, then grabbed the female corpse by the hair, and reached down with both hands. After the two corpses came ashore, Shen Sanquan saw clearly that they had been shot at least ten times, and all of them were shot. It was on the chest area. The blood stains on the tattered clothes were relatively light after being washed away by the river water, but there was still a lot of blood gurgling out from inside.
"Hold my hand!" Shen Sanquan stretched out his right hand. The girl couldn't understand what he said. No matter he helped her, he extended his hand at this time. His meaning was obvious. There was a trace of gratitude in his eyes. About to grab Shen Sanquan's right hand, suddenly that damn assault boat appeared again. The three people on the boat had already seen Shen Sanquan. They shouted loudly and rushed over like flying. The sharp bow of the boat was about to hit him in an instant. After hitting the girl's body, Shen Sanquan quickly let go, and the girl was also in a hurry. She plunged into the water with a fierce force. The assault boat came close to it, quickly turned sideways, and stopped, causing Shen Sanquan to hit the ground. His face was covered with water.
The three of them quickly walked off the boat, talking incomprehensible bird language, cursing and holding submachine guns in front of Shen Sanquan.
Shen Sanquan was extremely nervous. He was unfamiliar with this ghost place, and it hadn't even been a day, and now someone was pointing a gun at him. He was really unlucky.
He could believe that as long as he made the slightest move, he would immediately be like the two corpses in front of him. In a hurry, he slowly raised his hands. The international avatar pose should work everywhere.
The three of them stared at Shen Sanquan closely and glanced twice. Suddenly, a gun butt came at him fiercely. Shen Sanquan did not dare to dodge. His right face was suddenly green, his teeth were loose, and a trace of blood spilled out.
Seeing Shen Sanquan's honest appearance, the three of them were relieved. One of them continued to point his gun at Shen Sanquan, while the other two squatted down and looked for something on the two corpses.
The river surface returned to calm again, but the side of the assault boat slowly stretched out a head. The girl in the water slowly climbed up and climbed into the cabin silently. The three of them paid all their attention. They were all focused on Shen Sanquan and the corpse in front of him, and they didn't notice what happened next.
The girl made a silent gesture towards Shen Sanquan, slowly took out a dagger from her lower back, took two steps, suddenly jumped up, and stabbed Shen Sanquan fiercely with the gun. on that bastard's neck.
The bastard screamed, and as soon as he spoke, the girl cut his throat again. Then he pulled out the dagger fiercely and stabbed the other person again. This time he succeeded again. The stabbed bastard hugged the girl tightly. , the last person was shocked, stood up in a hurry, and raised the submachine gun in his hand.
Shen Sanquan still had time to think about the consequences, so he rushed over, kicked him hard in the chest, and kicked the bastard into the water together with his gun.
The girl frantically pulled out the dagger and stabbed him hard several times. The man finally lost his strength and slowly fell to the ground.
Without any hesitation, the girl suddenly picked up the submachine gun from the ground and pointed it at the water. As soon as the bastard who was kicked out of the water emerged from the water, he was greeted by a crisp sound of gunfire.dd
