Zhuang Rui tried to move his left arm, and suddenly felt a sharp pain. It must have been a bone injury, and a whole piece of flesh was torn off on his forearm, and blood could not help but seep out.
"Brother Zhuang, please sit down..."
"Stab it..."
Peng Fei tore open the tattered camouflage uniform on Zhuang Rui's arm, then looked down in his bag and took out a bottle of alcohol and gauze.
"Hey, oh, don't, just wrap it up..."
When the medicinal alcohol was splashed on Zhuang Rui's bloody arm, Zhuang Rui screamed in pain and stood up violently. This kind of severe pain was simply unbearable, and the whole thing went into the wound.
The feeling of spreading salt.
Peng Fei held Zhuang Rui down, but he didn't care so much. Under the light of the lamp in his mouth, he carefully cleaned away some animal hair from Zhuang Rui's wound bit by bit.
"Brother, I'm not Guan Yunchang. Don't scrape my whole bone to heal my wounds..."
When Peng Fei was looking for gauze and alcohol just now, Zhuang Rui had already treated himself with spiritual energy, but he did not dare to increase the amount of spiritual energy and just stopped the bleeding.
Seeing Peng Fei take out his knife, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but struggle again. If he had known that he had acted faster just now, he would have been able to treat the injury before Peng Fei saw it.
However, the wound torn by the leopard's claw was very deep, almost scratching Zhuang Rui's arm bones. Even with spiritual energy protection, I'm afraid it can't be completely healed. Although Peng Fei's movements were very gentle, the corners of Zhuang Rui's mouth were still...
Twitching in pain.
"Brother Zhuang, you probably hurt your bones, please don't move..."
Peng Fei's face was solemn. The leopard weighed fifty or sixty kilograms. The force of the leopard falling from the tree was enough to break the back of a wild boar. Fortunately, Zhuang Rui had just taken a step back, otherwise this attack would have covered his face.
After a beating, the consequences are not just a broken arm.
"Bang...bang...bang bang bang..."
"Da da da... da da da..."
Just as Peng Fei was bandaging Zhuang Rui's wound, making a simple sling with gauze, and letting him hang his left hand under his neck, there were suddenly several gunshots in the forest, starting with the sound of a pistol, and then the sound of a pistol.
Then came the burst of submachine gun fire, echoing in the silent forest for a long time.
"Brother Hu and the others should be here..."
Zhuang Rui took out a pistol from his bag and was about to shoot, but was snatched away by Peng Fei.
Peng Fei put Zhuang Rui's pistol, his own, as well as the plastic bombs and grenades into a plastic bag, and threw it into a small mud pond behind him. He watched the bag sink before taking it out.
He picked up his submachine gun and fired a burst into the air.
Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel a little pity when he saw that the pistol he had played with for a few days was gone. However, he also knew that the gun was of no use now. If he returned to the country, it would be a troublesome thing if he was found out.
.
Although he knew it might be Hu Rong and others, Peng Fei still turned off the lights, helped Zhuang Rui to the foot of a big tree, and submerged his figure into the darkness.
"Ta da... da da da..."
Several more bursts of submachine gun fire were heard in the distance, and they were getting closer and closer to the hiding place of Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei. Peng Fei fired a few single shots and pointed out the location to the people looking for them.
"Zhuang Rui, Brother Zhuang, Brother Peng, are you?"
After about twenty minutes, several bright flashlights shone in the dense forest, and the voices of Hu Rong and Zhang Guojun alternated, shouting the names of Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei.
"It's Brother Hu, it's okay..."
Peng Fei didn't let Zhuang Rui speak. It wasn't until Hu Rong's figure was revealed in the light that Peng Fei stood up and helped Zhuang Rui up at the same time.
"Brother Hu, it's us..."
Zhuang Rui's voice caused a cheer, and then several beams of bright light shone on him and Peng Fei.
"What? Are you injured?"
Hu Rong saw Zhuang Rui's hanging arms at a glance and quickly walked over.
"It's okay. I was caught by that leopard. Brother Hu, I'm so sorry for alarming everyone..."
Zhuang Rui pretended not to care and moved his left hand, but he grimaced in pain. The wound was too deep this time, and even his spiritual energy was not very effective.
"Brother Zhuang, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have kept you..."
Zhang Guojun, who looked guilty, walked out from behind Hu Rong. He had been searching for five or six hours in the dense forest. They were almost disappointed. If they couldn't find it again, Hu Rong was going to ask the military for help tomorrow and send out
The helicopter came to search.
Now that he suddenly saw Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei, Zhang Guojun was so excited that he almost shed tears. The two people were lost because of his mistake.
"Brother Zhang, I don't blame you. I really don't blame you. The two of us saw a wolf and then chased it. We got lost inexplicably. I don't blame you for this..."
Zhuang Rui felt really guilty in his heart. For some unexplainable reason, he regarded this upright big man as a scapegoat, so he was busy telling him the excuse he had discussed with Peng Fei.
"Okay, don't say so much. Army, hurry up. There's a stretcher. Hurry up. Go back to the mine first. We'll go back to Pagang to find a doctor overnight..."
Hu Rong waved his hand to interrupt the self-criticism of the two. He had no doubts about Zhuang Rui's words, because he could not identify the direction in the forest. He often thought it was the direction out of the mountain, but in fact it was the opposite. It was very difficult to get lost in it.
Normally, even some experienced hunters often cannot get out for several days.
"I'm fine, hey...hey, don't...don't, I can't lie down by myself..."
Just when Zhuang Rui wanted to say that he was fine, two men over there spread out a stretcher. One held his shoulders and the other lifted his legs, and then they put Zhuang Rui on the stretcher. These were all prepared by Hu Rong when they entered the mountain.
I'm afraid something might happen to the two of them.
"I'm fine, I'm really fine. Look, I can run and jump..."
When Peng Fei saw Hu Rong looking at him again, he was so frightened that he ran a few steps forward. Although he was a little tired, he was not used to lying on a stretcher.
"Brother Hu, take that leopard away..."
Zhuang Rui has not forgotten the culprit who injured himself. He said that the leopard skin is really beautiful. After bringing it back to the country, he bragged to Liu Chuan and envied the boy to death. He saved him from hunting two wild rabbits in the crop field and was killed.
God shows himself.
"Hey, this marksmanship is really accurate. I hit the eye with one shot. I'm so lucky. The skin wasn't hurt at all. No, there's a wound underneath. It was caused by a military spike, right?"
After Zhang Guojun heard Zhuang Rui's words, he took a flashlight to shine on the leopard. After checking it, he was amazed. Although Peng Fei's shot was fired when the leopard climbed up the tree and looked back to observe the situation, but seeing that
In Zhang Guojun's eyes, he naturally thought that this was a blind cat catching a dead mouse - a coincidence.
Zhang Guojun picked up the leopard by its hind legs, swung it behind him, carried it on his back, and followed the team out of the mountain.
Hu Rong divided the search teams into the mountain into four, with more than 10 people in each team. On the road in the forest, someone fired a gun from time to time. Slowly, the other teams heard the gunfire and moved closer.
In the forest outside Savage Mountain, there happened to be no more and no less.
"How's it going? Did you sleep well yesterday?"
Still in the wooden house at the foot of the mountain, Hu Rong came to Zhuang Rui's room early in the morning.
After returning to the camp yesterday, Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei were really tired, so they did not return to Pagan overnight. There was a doctor invited from Pagan in the camp itself, and they re-bandaged Zhuang Rui's wound.
I took some anti-inflammatory medicine and went to sleep.
"Okay, Brother Hu, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble yesterday..."
Zhuang Rui sat up, but it still hurt when he moved his left arm. It hurt the bone. Even if he was treated with spiritual energy, the effect was not very good.
Hu Rong stepped forward and supported half of Zhuang Rui's body, and said: "Stop talking about that, I think you can't stand the trouble anymore. Why don't you go back to China after the New Year in Myanmar..."
"Hey, that won't work. I have an exam the day after tomorrow, and I have to go back today..."
Zhuang Rui counted the time and couldn't help but feel a little anxious on his face. In three days, the preliminary examination for graduate students was about to begin. If he couldn't catch up, not only Uncle De, but also Professor Meng, he would be ashamed to meet him in the future.
And fortunately, the injury was to the left arm, so it wouldn't delay the written test. If it were the right arm, it would be really troublesome.
"Is this okay for you?"
After Hu Rong asked what was going on, he frowned.
"It's okay, Brother Hu, it's just some muscle and bone injuries, walking and everything is fine..."
Zhuang Rui climbed out of bed in a hurry and walked back and forth in the room twice, indicating that he was not seriously injured at all.
"Well, when you get back to Hpakant, I'll let the helicopter take you to the China-Myanmar border, and then exit from there. When you get to Ruili, you can take a direct flight back to Beijing from Dehong Mangshi Airport. This route is better than going to Myanmar.
Dele is even closer..."
Seeing that Zhuang Rui persisted and indeed had something to do, Hu Rong arranged for him the fastest route back to Beijing. He often took this route when he went to China, which was fast and convenient.
However, this speed is relative. If you take a car, it will take more than ten days to go from Ruili to Mandalay.
"Thank you, Brother Hu. By the way, what are the two professors' opinions on the mineral veins during yesterday's exploration?" Zhuang Rui relaxed after hearing that he would be able to return to Beijing today.
"Well, Professor Chen's opinion is that when this mountain range was formed, the crustal pressure was not uniform enough, so only some places produced raw jadeite. Not only was the amount small, but it was also difficult to mine. It is basically a waste mine..."
Hu Rong smiled bitterly. This mine, which had consumed so much of his financial and material resources, actually came to such a conclusion, which was hard for him to accept for a while.
"Brother Hu, I don't think so. This mine covers an area of several kilometers. Even if the earth's crust is formed 100 meters away and the pressure is uniform, that is hundreds of meters of mineral veins. It's just that we haven't found the right direction yet.
, my opinion is to continue digging and open more mines in several locations..."
Zhuang Rui was afraid that Hu Rong would give up the mine because of Professor Chen's words, so he quickly expressed his opinion. Even if Hu Rong found the mine and he couldn't make any money, he couldn't let Hu Rong give up in vain because of his own selfishness.
Get out of this mine.
"You should take good care of your injuries first. We can wait until after the New Year to talk about these things. I may attend your engagement ceremony after the New Year..."
Hu Rong patted Zhuang Rui's uninjured right shoulder. The Chinese in Myanmar were also celebrating the New Year, and the miners had to withdraw in the past few days. It was estimated that it would take nearly a month to start work again.
Zhuang Rui's engagement ceremony was originally scheduled before the new year, but because he had to take the postgraduate entrance examination and there were too many things to do during the New Year, the two parents discussed it and simply postponed it after the new year.
"I will raise a sum of funds as soon as possible when I go back. I am still very optimistic about this mine..."
Zhuang Rui and Hu Rong had nothing to be polite about before, so they walked to the wooden house with toothbrushes in one hand to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
"By the way, Brother Hu, what happened yesterday was just an accident. Don't blame Brother Zhang..."
After washing up, Zhuang Rui returned to the room and told Hu Rong seriously that this matter was all caused by his selfishness. If Zhang Guojun was implicated, Zhuang Rui would feel bad.
"Brother Hu, you are here too. Brother Zhuang, this is the leopard you shot yesterday. I skinned it. Look, it's really beautiful..."
Before Zhuang Rui finished speaking, Zhang Guojun's big head poked out from the door, holding a bloody leopard skin in his hand.
"What are you doing so early in the morning? The room smells of blood. Take it out quickly..."
Hu Rong glared at Zhang Guojun angrily, so frightened that Zhang Guojun turned away and shouted: "Brother Zhuang, I have opened the door for you..."
Hu Rong walked to the door and saw that the leopard skin was placed on the wooden steps by Zhang Guojun. He shook his head and said, "This brat is over thirty years old and he is still so unstable in his work. Zhuang Rui, this leopard skin is
It needs to be dried with salt before it can be used. Leave it here with me and I will take it with you after the Chinese New Year..."
Zhuang Rui agreed casually, but now the leopard's skin was too dirty to look at.
After they had breakfast, they took the car back to Hpakant. However, Professor Feng and Chen stayed at the mine. It was a rare trip to Myanmar and they had to conduct some in-depth research.
However, Zhu Banpo returned to Hpakant in the same car with Hu Rong and others. Hu Rong wanted him to give Zhuang Rui a ride. The reason was that Zhu Banpo was very familiar with the Sino-Myanmar border. In order for Zhuang Rui to get there as soon as possible,
When I returned to China, I pinched my nose and agreed.
After going to the city within the city to say goodbye to the old lady of the Hu family, Hu Rong personally escorted Zhuang Rui to the military camp outside the city. There was already a helicopter parked there, and the military's helicopters could be mobilized at any time. It was also obvious that Hu Rong was there
Myanmar’s relations and status.
"Brother Zhuang, see you in China soon!"
After watching the helicopter slowly take off and drive out of sight, Hu Rong left the military camp.
Since there is an inexplicable strong magnetic field in Yeren Mountain, which will cause the electronics on the helicopter to fail, the helicopter flew around the edge of Yeren Mountain. After more than four hours of tossing, it arrived at a small town on the China-Myanmar border.
This is also a garrison for Myanmar soldiers.
"Boss Zhuang, are you okay?"
As soon as he got off the plane, the thin Zhubanpo came close to him. Judging from his posture, he seemed to want Zhuang Rui to put his right hand on his shoulder. Zhuang Rui was so frightened that he took a few steps back and said, "It's okay, just a little bit."
Nothing happened, where is this? Let’s leave the country quickly..."
During the few hours on the plane, even if Zhuang Rui closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, he could still feel the hot eyes of this "cooking woman", which made him feel entangled in his heart.
"Let's go out first and wait for a while at the intersection. A luxury bus from a Chinese tour group will pass by. You can just go out with them..."
Zhu Banpo was very dissatisfied with Zhuang Rui's inconsideration, but the task assigned by Boss Hu still had to be completed. After communicating with the helicopter pilot in Burmese, he took Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei out of the military camp and came to
When we got to an asphalt road, the road conditions here were much better than those in the interior of Myanmar.
"Is this a luxury bus?"
Zhuang Rui looked at the bus from a distance with green smoke rising from the back, and looked at Zhu Fanpo with an unkind expression.
"This is a good car in Thailand..."
"The cook" muttered in a very girlish way, then stretched out her orchid finger, walked to the roadside and stopped the car, which made Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei feel chills.
After the bus stopped, Zhu Banpo communicated with the driver in Burmese for a while, then took out four Burmese banknotes worth 500 and handed them to the driver. He turned back to Zhuang Rui and said, "Okay, they can just take them with you."
When you go to the border, Boss Zhuang, I will miss you in the future..."
"Okay, okay, thank you, I will miss you too..."
Zhuang Rui was perfunctory as he got into the car, but after he said those words, Peng Fei beside him trembled obviously, and was obviously shocked by Zhuang Rui.
When they got to the car, Peng Fei asked with a wicked smile: "Brother Zhuang, do you really miss him?"
"Puch, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
Zhuang Rui sprayed water on the head of a little girl in front of the seat due to Peng Fei's words. He quickly stood up and apologized to the girl.
"It's okay, it's okay, are you Chinese?"
The girl took out a handkerchief and wiped it on her hair. She turned back and looked at Zhuang Rui strangely. Not only her, but also the people in the car were looking at Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei.
"Yes, of course she is Chinese, isn't she?" This girl is very beautiful. She has two sweet dimples on her lips when she smiles, which looks very eye-catching.
"I'm not, I'm a tour guide here in Myanmar, specializing in receiving Chinese tourists. How did you come to Myanmar without joining a tour group..."
After the girl explained, Zhuang Rui found out that this bus was responsible for picking up domestic tourists participating in the "Myanmar One-Day Tour". To apply for a temporary visa to enter Myanmar, you must join this group, so she had no idea about Zhuang Rui's two words.
A person on the bus was very curious and thought they were stowaways.
The way Zhuang Rui's left arm is hanging on his shoulder can easily be misunderstood.
"I came here from Mandalay. I didn't come here as a tourist or as a smuggler. By the way, is it fun for you to take a one-day trip to Myanmar?"
Zhuang Rui explained a few sentences without saying much, and brought the topic to the tour group.
"The one-day trip to Myanmar doesn't mean anything, I've been fooled..."
"Yes, we also talked about the luxury bus. This car can be regarded as an antique..."
"Go back and find a travel agency. Grandma's will kill even your own people..."
As soon as Zhuang Rui finished speaking, the people next to him started talking in a flurry of words. It seemed that they were torn apart by this luxury bus.
"Brother, what did you two go to Myanmar for? Are you a fan?"
A fat man sitting in the first few rows was very curious and twirled his fingers as if rubbing white powder. His words frightened the strong man sitting next to the tour guide in the front row of Zhuang Rui, and he shrank his head downward.
"Hey, buddy, don't talk nonsense. We are going to Yangon for stone betting, and we are in Mandalay on the way. I have a certificate issued by the Myanmar government..."
Zhuang Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw a whole car of people staring at him and Peng Fei with strange eyes. If he didn't explain this clearly, I'm afraid that when we get to the China-Myanmar border, everyone in the car would definitely run to report him.
of.
"Well, this is a VIP certificate issued by our government, yes..."
After the Burmese female tour guide saw the certificate produced by Zhuang Rui, she explained to the people in the car and dispelled everyone's doubts. You know, the drug dealers portrayed on TV are all extremely vicious. If these two people are really
If so, they might be able to kidnap a whole carload of them and use them as hostages.
After knowing the identities of the two people, the people in the car relaxed and asked Zhuang Rui about the stone gambling in Myanmar. However, seeing Zhuang Rui answering ten questions, everyone felt a little boring, and the topic turned to that
Beautiful Myanmar tour guide.
"Sister tour guide, your roads in Myanmar are so bad, what does the government do with collecting taxes? By the way, how much money can you get per month, can you tell me?" It was the fat man in front who asked.
"Our government doesn't charge taxes, so we don't have to pay taxes. It's about 300 RMB a month, right?"
The girl was very honest, but what she said made everyone except Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei open their mouths in surprise.
"Then what do you eat? You don't have to turn in the crops you grow?"
"Everything you grow belongs to you. It seems that our county government only has two departments: the police station and the court. There are no other departments such as the education bureau, health bureau, urban management bureau, etc. in China. There doesn't seem to be any tax bureau..."
The girl's words caused a cry of exclamation. Without the evil urban management? The people of Myanmar are so happy, even though the monthly income is a bit low.
Zhuang Rui really didn't know about these things. He was a little curious when he was sitting in the back and asked: "Then who runs your school and hospital? Who will pay for the teachers' salaries?"
“Education here is free. Students only need to buy their own books. They can go to a private doctor for medical treatment. The fee is 50 kyats. The government pays for medicines, injections and surgeries at their own expense.
As for the schools, they are all funded by the villages themselves, and the villagers raise their own funds to pay teachers, with a monthly salary of about 300 yuan. Nowadays, Chinese teachers are particularly welcome to come to Myanmar to teach, and many villages are willing to pay high prices."
The girl's words made everyone roll their eyes. A salary of 300 yuan? Even if the price is doubled, it is estimated that not many Chinese would be willing to teach.
