The arrival of Hua Jianchen made Song Wenbin feel even more pressured. Within a month of preparation, he put down most of the factory affairs and began to devote himself to the preparations for the trip. In addition to learning a lot of English, he In addition, he has not even studied the history and culture of Central America and even the United States day and night. It was so pitiful that he had never worked so hard since he was born, but once he thought of being replaced, dismissed, or forgotten, his whole body felt like he had been injected with blood, and he had to get up at three o'clock in the middle of the night to memorize vocabulary.
A month later, the time for departure arrived quietly. Song Wenbin, who had dark circles under his eyes, raised his head from the thick book, looked at the luggage and passport prepared beside him, and began to pack the box.
After packing the box and preparing to go out, he vaguely felt that something was missing. This feeling that something was missing made him feel uncomfortable all over.
After wandering around the house for a long time, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Song Wenbin finally found a watch in his bedside table. A complicated chronograph watch from Patek Philippe.
Looking at the watch, Song Wenbin's body suddenly relaxed, as if he had taken a reassurance. After much hesitation, he chose to pick up the watch, put it on his hand, and walked out of the house.
At the airport, a civilian plane bound for Ecuador is on standby.
Song Wenbin followed the camera crew into the cabin with ease. Su Tina and Huo Yu were already on the plane at this moment. They both seemed busy. Su Tina was looking at a map on an iPad, and Huo Yu was watching some videos about cable routing on his phone.
Seeing Song Wenbin coming over, neither of them had any reaction. Su Tina raised her head and glanced at him, while Huo Yu just glanced at his wrist and continued to browse his own videos.
Song Wenbin saw an empty seat next to Sutina and wanted to sit down, but as soon as he stuffed his luggage into the luggage rack, laughter came from behind: "Teacher Yan, that's my seat~"
When Song Wenbin turned around, he saw Hua Jianchen standing behind with two cups of coffee, looking at him with a smile. He was wearing fancy clothes, his hair was combed back, and he was wearing yellow sunglasses. He looked very energetic.
Song Wenbin frowned and glanced at Sutina. Sutina stared at the iPad without saying a word, looking at the map and taking notes, as if she was completely unaware of what was happening around her.
Hua Jianchen walked up to Song Wenbin and sat down politely. He handed the coffee in his hand to Song Wenbin and asked, "Do you want to drink it? Teacher Yan, if you want to drink it, I will pour it for you."
Song Wenbin arrived relatively late, so he couldn't say much when he saw that the seat was occupied, so he shook his head and refused the coffee. I sat in a separate row of seats next to the aisle.
Hua Jianchen on the side was not idle either. He gave the coffee in his hand to Huo Yu and Sutina respectively, and kept asking questions about travel.
"Which route is better for us to take this time?"
"I think Colombia is quite dangerous..."
"There may be drug lords and gangs over there..."
"I heard that the DEA is conducting a search over there recently..."
"Teacher Huo will have to protect us when the time comes..."
Facing Hua Jianchen's enthusiastic consultation, Su Tina answered with a neither salty nor cold tone, while Huo Yu closed his eyes to rest.
Song Wenbin felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw that his teammates who had shared hardships were now starting to distance themselves from him, and were not alienated from this guy who had just joined the program team and had not made any achievements. The more uncomfortable he felt, the less he wanted to show it, and the more indifferent the expression on his face became.
At this time, several more people walked into the cabin. The leader looked very familiar. He walked to Song Wenbin and bent down: "Why are you so idle? Have you finished memorizing the English words?"
Song Wenbin raised his head and was surprised when he saw the man's face.
It turned out to be a guy who looked exactly like him. He was looking at him in the cabin with a smile. Such a strange sight almost made him lose his mind and his breathing stopped. He stared blankly at the face of the guy who looked exactly like himself, and was speechless for a moment.
It wasn't until the man pushed his shoulder hard several times that his soul slowly slipped back from the sky.
"Yan, what's wrong with you? Let me in."
the man asked confused.
Song Wenbin rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. Well, it turned out that he was dazzled. The person who looked the same as him turned out to be Wei Ning. He wanted to sit next to him, but because he sat Outside but not allowed in.
Knowing that he was dazzled, Song Wenbin stood up with lingering fear and quickly made way for Wei Ning. After Wei Ning sat in, he asked with concern: "Yan, are you okay?"
"I...I'm okay..."
Song Wenbin gasped. He guessed that he was so tired during this period that his mother was so tired that she hallucinated and actually thought of Wei Ning as him.
Wei Ning glanced at Hua Jianchen, who was sitting with Su Tina and Huo Yu on the other side, sneered, and whispered: "You are so shameless, sitting in that seat when you first came here. You really treat yourself like a green onion, you have investment It’s amazing how supportive people are.”
"Don't say that."
Song Wenbin quickly covered Weining's mouth, but felt much better.
Wei Ning felt a little aggrieved. After Song Wenbin told him to let go, he said, "Yan, we are different from those women who like the new and dislike the old. We will always be by your side."
Song Wenbin was very moved and whispered: "Thank you, by the way, can you teach me the words?"
"Of course!" Wei Ning was very surprised: "Why are you so motivated all of a sudden?"
"Learn something, learn something..."
….
The waiting time on the plane passed quietly while Wei Ning taught Song Wenbin the words. Even at night after the plane took off, Song Wenbin had headphones in his ears and listened to the English words quietly, so that he could listen. Missing the conversation between Hua Jianchen and Sutina next door.
During the flight from China to Ecuador in Central America, the plane will land in Turkey for resupply. It is already late at night when resupplying, and some members of the program crew will get up to go to the toilet, and Song Wenbin is no exception.
After using the toilet, he returned to his seat and planned to sleep for a while under a blanket. At this time, he heard someone calling him softly next to him.
"I hate the teacher, I hate the teacher."
Song Wenbin turned his head slightly. It turned out to be the newcomer Hua Jianchen. He was sitting on a chair, leaned over, pointed at Song Wenbin's wrist and asked: "Teacher Yan, is your watch a Patek Philippe..."
Song Wenbin glanced at his wrist and replied calmly: "Well, what's wrong?"
"It's not good." Hua Jianchen said softly.
"Why isn't it good?"
"The place we are going to this time is Central America, which is very poor and backward. You will be coveted by others if you wear such an expensive watch." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said: "I have several I don’t even dare to carry a Rolex for fear of being robbed.”
Song Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and seeing the concerned look on his face, he felt a strong sense of disgust for no reason.
"I have my own arrangements." He said coldly.
"What are the arrangements? How do you plan to get to the US-Mexico border? I have discussed it with Su Tina and Huo Yu during this period. They plan to go there and contact the local smugglers. I originally wanted to discuss it with you, but they don't seem to want to. I discussed it with you, so...I didn’t look for you anymore, but I know you are a person with ideas, Teacher Yan, what are your plans?"
Thinking that these guys actually discussed the strategy behind his back and didn't even take him, the soul of this extraordinary journey, with them. Song Wenbin's inner irritability became even worse, so much so that he felt a little tight in his chest. He forcibly suppressed his unhappiness and said calmly: "According to circumstances."
After saying that, he continued to put on his earphones, listened to the recording in his ears and fell asleep.
…
At noon the next day, the plane arrived in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, which is visa-free for China and is also the first choice of many cable travelers. However, cable travelers will sneak over from Southeast Asia. In order to save time, the Extraordinary Journey program team took the The plane comes here.
After leaving the cabin, which made Song Wenbin feel on pins and needles, the filming officially began.
Song Wenbin couldn't wait to leave the cabin and enter this land he had never set foot on before. As soon as he left the cabin, the sultry air hit his face. The faint smell of sea breeze and the smell of tropical plants in the air almost immediately reminded him of the Caribbean. However, there were three people in the Caribbean, but now it has changed inexplicably. It became four.
Song Wenbin did not wait for the other three people. He walked to the inside of the airport and took a look. Different from when he went to other countries, here, soldiers with guns and live ammunition could be seen everywhere. Their skin was dark and they looked at the passing passengers warily, trying to distinguish them. Suspicious elements among them.
Song Wenbin was watching, and colleagues were talking behind him. Sutina: "It looks like the security here is pretty tight."
Hua Jianchen: "Of course, this is Central America, where gangs and drug lords are everywhere."
Huo Yu: "I have been to so many countries, but I have never held a gun. If we can get a gun, our safety factor can be greatly improved."
"Sounds like a good idea."
Hua Jianchen immediately asked back: "Does Teacher Huo practice with firearms on weekdays?"
Huo Yu was a little surprised by Hua Jianchen's enthusiasm. It was clear that he was just talking nonsense. But she still said: "Of course, I still have members at the shooting gallery on Ping'an Road."
"Ah! That store is also a store I often go to!" Hua Jianchen said, "I go there every Sunday night to shoot targets and relax!"
"Well…"
Huo Yu was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
"Has Sutina also practiced firearms?" Hua Jianchen turned around and asked in an instant.
"I used it in military training when I was in college." Sutina answered subconsciously.
"Hahaha~" Hua Jianchen laughed heartily. It was really awesome. I also used it during military training in college. My shoulder was swollen by the impact of the gun butt and I couldn't lift it for a week.
As he spoke, he also made a funny gesture of hanging up his hands, causing Sutina to raise the corner of her mouth.
"You can't use guns."
Song Wenbin heard the conversation behind him, stopped in displeasure, and said seriously: "Absolutely not."
"Why?"
After the show started filming, Huo Yu did not remain indifferent to Song Wenbin, but changed to a business-like attitude.
"Please, your bare hands are scary enough." Song Wenbin sighed helplessly: "If I give you another gun, God knows what trouble will happen. Don't make it impossible for us to get off the stage abroad."
When Huo Yu heard this, he burst into laughter and said: "My destructive power is far inferior to someone's mental control. Teacher Yan, who has conquered so many countries, started to cherish feathers after making some money. It's really Not cool at all.”
Song Wenbin gritted his teeth and said angrily: "These are two different things! Do you understand they are two different things? You can't hurt anyone on this trip, let alone do anything politically incorrect!"
"Do you want to take care of it?" Huo Yu also looked at him coldly.
At this time, Hua Jianchen quickly stood up and smoothed things over by saying, "Oh, my, Teacher Yan, don't be nervous. Teacher Huo is just joking, right? Sutina."
"Yes, Teacher Huo was just joking." Sutina said expressionlessly.
Teacher Huo...just kidding...
Song Wenbin was even more angry when he saw Su Tina's outfit. He pointed at Su Tina's outfit and said, "You should dress more conservatively when you come to a place like this. Look at your shorts and your navel-baring outfit." …It’s easy to make people imagine, okay? It’s very chaotic here.”
Yes, Sutina was dressed extremely sexy this time. The shorts were not only short, but also had more jagged holes around them, which attracted the attention of people passing by.
Faced with Song Wenbin's questioning, Su Tina not only did not feel ashamed, but pushed up her sunglasses and said coldly: "You are wearing an expensive watch and you probably have no right to criticize me."
Song Wenbin's tone paused. He touched his watch and glanced at Huo Yu. Huo Yu turned his head away and pretended not to see it. Song Wenbin thought for a while, then silently took off his watch and carefully put it into the bag behind him.
When Sutina saw his action, she snorted with no meaning. Director Pauly on the side was filming with great interest, and would do a few close-ups from time to time.
"It's okay, Sutina, you can do your own thing. There is less of everything here in Central America, but more beauties." Hua Jianchen comforted from the side: "They produce many beauty pageant champions every year."
As he spoke, he pointed at the women coming and going at the airport. Indeed, most Latin women were wearing hot pants and their buttocks were very exaggerated.
"Look, your clothes fit so well here~"
However, Sutina did not appreciate Hua Jianchen's persuasion.
"Shut up."
She said mercilessly to Hua Jianchen.
Then she turned and walked to the bathroom nearby, saying as she walked: "Wait a minute, I'll change clothes."
The three of them waited at the door of the bathroom for about ten minutes. After that, when Sutina walked out again, she put on loose trousers, a sun protection jacket with sleeves, a large face towel on her face, and even her breasts. It's a whole lot smaller. I don't know if I put on super tight underwear or some other method.
Song Wenbin felt mixed emotions in his heart when he saw her like this.
Sutina was very relaxed. After looking at everyone casually, she said, "Let's go, let's go find the lighthouse."
