Just when Xu Yun and Lin Ge were preparing to cross the border and return home along a hidden and uninhabited path, a vicious curse sounded in the distance, which was the language of the locals.
"I lent your parents so much money! You actually ran away even if you didn't even want to do business for a day! Believe it or not, I will go back and beat you to death!" The curser's voice became clearer and louder, and Xu Yun and Lin Ge soon saw dozens of them.
Several figures appeared in the dense forest meters away.
The curser was a middle-aged man in his forties, copying the local language. The local language in Myanmar belongs to the Burmese branch of the Tibeto-Burman branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. There are 20 to 30 million people in the Irrawaddy River basin and delta area who speak this language.
Xu Yun and Lin Ge both have some understanding of language communication.
Because the border residents in the southern border of China are also familiar with this language, communication between the border residents and the Burmese is not difficult.
Although they are not proficient in this language, they can roughly understand what they are saying.
"Brother, that girl was forced." Lin Ge said lightly. After witnessing the miserable village just now, he no longer had the uncontrollable impulse towards what he saw in front of him.
Xu Yun nodded: "This girl is quite bold. She ran to China after escaping. She is smart. But she did not expect these people to be in a place like this. She has almost no understanding of the border. As long as there are no border warrior monitoring points, they will
I don’t think crossing the border is anything scary at all.”
"What should we do?" Lin Ge said: "Turn a blind eye, or..."
"Since we have already encountered it, how could we turn a blind eye?" Xu Yun said lightly. For those girls who accept their fate, Xu Yun will not be a hero or a savior, but for the girl in front of him who does not want to accept his fate,
, Xu Yun will not turn a blind eye to a girl who does not want to stay in this place.
Lin Ge was waiting for Xu Yun's words.
At this time, he was very sure that Xu Yun could not turn a blind eye.
They have no way of persuading the girls who voluntarily stay because their deep-rooted old ideas have been fixed.
But this girl who dares to struggle, dares to say no to injustice, and dares to change her destiny is different.
If she doesn't want to stay here, then of course they will help her escape from this place that will ruin their lives. This terrible place is absolutely a hell for any girl.
Over the past hundred years, how many girls have had their youth, their destiny, and their lives ruined here.
"Do you think you can change your destiny by escaping to China?" The cursing middle-aged man slapped the girl hard: "I tell you, even if you escape to China, you will be arrested by the Chinese border.
Traffickers capture girls from such poor countries!”
The girl said nothing, and blood was drawn from the corner of her mouth.
"They will sell you to the same place, and you will do the same job!" The cursing middle-aged man showed no intention of stopping: "Or they will sell you directly to the mountainous areas of China, those poor and harsh places, without even eating.
A place where you can’t afford to eat!”
Xu Yun and Lin Ge had been approaching everyone step by step, but they were not aware of it.
"There is no money at all in a poor and remote place like China! Men there can't find wives! You were sold there, maybe to serve a family of several men! Do you think you can live a comfortable life like that!" He was cursing.
The young man is aggressive and humane.
The girl shook her head vigorously: "No... no... China is a rich country, an equal country, a free country..."
"A rich country?" the cursing middle-aged man asked: "Do you think all Chinese people are as rich as those who travel abroad? Don't be naive and stop dreaming! There are also a lot of poor people in China! Do you think Chinese people are as rich as those who travel abroad?
Can everyone leave the country? There are 1.4 billion people in China! If they all had the money to go abroad, the whole world would have been occupied long ago! There are very few of them who have the money to go abroad, only 1%, not
, not even one percent.”
Before the girl could refute, the cursing middle-aged man said again: "The China you see on TV is all fake. China is not that rich at all. They don't have many skyscrapers. Most people live in
On the basis of food and clothing, the vast majority of people cannot afford a house or a car!”
The barrage of words left the girl speechless.
Indeed, she didn't have much knowledge, so when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Hey, hey, hey, you've never been to China, right? Isn't it good to talk nonsense like this?" Lin Ge jumped out of the car and appeared in front of them. They were all startled.
For this kind of remote and unmanned border crossing, even if someone encounters each other, they will not speak because each other knows that their behavior is not in compliance with the regulations.
Moreover, this middle-aged man also knows what crimes are committed by those who come and go here.
When he looked up at Xu Yun and Lin Ge, he murmured in his heart. These were obviously two Chinese people, and none of them from Myanmar were so handsome.
"You'd better mind your own business." The cursing middle-aged man said to Lin Ge unceremoniously.
Lin Ge pursed his lips and said, "Isn't this bad? If you speak so rudely, you will have no friends."
"What I say is none of your business. You'd better mind your own business." The cursing middle-aged man obviously didn't want to waste too much time with Lin Ge.
The poor girl looked at Lin Ge with expectant eyes. Lin Ge naturally felt soft and pitiful, because this girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old at most. If she was taken back by this bastard, she would be in full bloom during the rainy season.
With age, it just withers away.
"We are not meddling, we just want you, a frog in the well, to know whether China is really poor," Xu Yundao said.
The cursing middle-aged man waved his hand: "I don't need to listen to what you say, I only believe what I see with my own eyes! There are at least several million poor people in the six major provinces of southern China! I only know one of you
A poor person in China only earns a few dollars a day!"
Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, and Lin Ge suddenly fell silent.
"The thatched house he and his mother live in is made of branches and bamboo pieces, with some cow dung in the gaps, and the cold wind and light come in through countless holes. Don't you have an idiom in China that a family has four walls? But his house has no walls.
There is not a single wall in the strict sense! He has lived there for decades!”
The cursing middle-aged man scolded him unceremoniously: "He put a wooden board on four piles of bricks, which is his bed. There is no table, not even a bench. The house is divided into two halves, with the cattle pen on the left.
Cow dung is scattered on the weeds, and there is a pungent smell in the air. The five members of the family can only eat rice every ten days during the market, and meat can only be eaten three times a year!"
"The outer wall of the mud house is covered with dense holes, which are nests made by wild bees. Every spring, wild bees fly in and out. There are also big holes made by mountain rats at the base of the wall!"
"There are five or six kilograms of pig fat in a white plastic bucket. When cooking, cut a small piece and rub it in the pot. Even if there is oil, most of the time, it is just water to cook wild vegetables!"
"Elementary schools in mountainous areas are so difficult. I saw with my own eyes that one hundred and fifty boarding students were crowded into several prefabricated rooms, which were classrooms and dormitories. The front half was filled with desks, and the back half was equipped with four bunk beds.
Beds, two people are squeezed into each bed, and it can sleep eight people, but there are many students, so we have to draw lots at the beginning of the semester, and those who are drawn will live on the bed, and those who are not drawn will sleep on the desk!"
"Dozens of girls were sleeping together on the big bunk bed! One winter night, a fire burned down their classroom, which was also their dormitory. From that day on, they could no longer go to school!"
Xu Yun suddenly shouted angrily: "Have you said enough!?"
The cursing middle-aged man was startled by Xu Yun's scolding, but he still had no intention of stopping: "What? Are you not happy to hear me say this? You Chinese people will always only see the good things about you China.
I see you are number one in the world, and you are number one in the world. What’s the use of being number one in the world? Aren’t your poor people still living the same life as our poor countries?”
Lin Ge couldn't bear it any longer, so he flew forward and punched the middle-aged man in the face!
The middle-aged man let out a scream and spit out the teeth in his mouth, making his whole body roll in pain.
Several young men following him immediately shouted and rushed forward to beat Lin Ge, but how could they, these tough men from the countryside, be Lin Ge's opponents? Lin Ge knocked them all to the ground without any effort.
