After leaving the airport, the four came to the streets of Ecuador. Whenever Song Wenbin comes to a place like this from China, he feels like the sky has been slashed with a knife. Compared with the high-rise buildings in China, there are almost no buildings in these places with more than two floors. Most of them are They are just some low-rise bungalows. The good ones can have some yards, but the bad ones just have a few broken walls with graffiti.
Obviously, he is different from Song Wenbin who has been obsessed with learning English and American history all month. Huo Yu and Sutina really prepared a lot of routing strategies. As soon as they left the airport, they found a taxi nearby with very specific goals and drove all the way to a local bus station.
Sitting in the car, the palm trees that can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street are no different from the Panama I have been to before, but the vehicles on the street are much more embarrassing than Panama, which has a lot of wealth. Those buses and taxis look like the second-tier cities in China. There was no difference from those more than ten years ago, and some even had black smoke coming out of their buttocks.
After arriving at the bus station, Sutina found a bus and got in with the other three people. On the bus, she had to sit with Huo Yu, while Hua Jianchen had to sit with Song Wenbin.
While sitting together, Hua Jianchen explained to Song Wenbin enthusiastically: "Generally speaking, those route travelers will first come to Ecuador, which is visa-free, and then take a bus from Ecuador to Colombia, and then find the smuggler at the Colombian border. We followed the smuggler to the US-Mexico border. So this first trip was very easy for us, as long as we sat on the bus."
Song Wenbin glanced at him and said with a smile: "The strategy is very careful. It must have taken a lot of time."
"That's right, it's mainly due to Sutina. She really worked hard." He said with emotion: "Teacher Yan, I really admire you."
"Admire me? Admire me for what?"
Song Wenbin was puzzled.
Hua Jianchen looked at the two people next to him, turned to the side and said in a low voice: "I really admire you. After spending so long with these two, you are not tempted?"
Song Wenbin looked at him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Oh my God... I have never seen such an outstanding woman... She is as perfect as if she came out of a man's fantasy... And you actually persisted in being pregnant for more than a year. What on earth are you? How did you do it..." Hua Jianchen groaned.
Perfect? Song Wenbin smiled, shook his head, his expression slowly disappeared, he put on his headphones and said, "I hope you can still say the same thing after a year."
"One year? Won't Teacher Yan be angry?" Hua Jianchen asked in a low voice.
"Do it yourself." Song Wenbin said.
Sure enough, as Hua Jianchen said, thanks to Sutina and Huo Yu's advance strategy, they encountered almost no obstacles on the road from Ecuador to Colombia. They just got off the car and got in the car to eat something and drink some water. My passport was checked at the border. The next night, they crossed more than 800 kilometers of rugged mountain roads and arrived in Bogota, the capital of Colombia.
Such a smooth start is excellent news for Song Wenbin, which means that the 6,000-kilometer challenge has been abruptly shortened to 5,000 kilometers.
But for the program director, it was a bit unhappy. Pauly was anxiously pointing his camera outside the car along the way, hoping to take some different material, because if there was no program effect along the way, just riding in the car like this, Then the show will be filmed and no one will watch it.
It was night when we got off the bus in Bogota. Walking on the streets of Colombia, Song Wenbin realized that his previous reminder to Sutina might have been a little too much, because as far as the eye could see, there were scantily clad Latin beauties everywhere, with three-dimensional and exquisite facial features. , with a well-proportioned figure, huge buttocks, and delicate and smooth skin, it is almost like a man's paradise, and it is far more exposed than Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Hua Jianchen had probably never filmed a variety show like this before. He stood on the street and watched everything fresh. From time to time, he would go to the stalls on the street to check out and buy drinks for everyone in the show crew.
Seeing that he was familiar and attentive, Song Wenbin was a little worried that his status was not guaranteed, so he took the initiative to get in front of Huo Yu and Su Tina and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Sutina smiled and shook her head.
Song Wenbin had seen that smile before, it was very official.
Huo Yu said bluntly: "I'm not hungry."
Song Wenbin hit a soft spot and was asking for trouble, so he said no more.
Soon, Hua Jianchen came back with several glasses of orange juice and distributed them to everyone.
When I sent it to Sutina, I asked: "Has anyone here responded?"
Sutina held the orange juice and quickly clicked on the phone with her fingers. While ordering, she said: "I made an appointment with a local smuggler. They quoted us US$9,000 per person to arrive at the border safely. Wait for ten o'clock." They'll come get us."
"What about the price?"
Song Wenbin asked from the side.
Sutina pretended not to hear.
"Nine thousand dollars per person, pay the deposit first, and pay the other half when you get to the place." Hua Jianchen answered helpfully.
"Nine thousand dollars?" Song Wenbin frowned: "Is it so expensive?"
"It's already very cheap." Hua Jianchen said: "There are very safe ones, but the price quoted is more than 10,000 US dollars, which is about 100,000 yuan, which is not in line with our budget."
Song Wenbin frowned when he heard this. He had never made a strategy here from the beginning. He felt that if he just relied on smuggling to the US-Mexico border, the risks along the way would be too great. If possible, he would rather not rely on the local people. The smugglers treat it as if they are traveling on a budget and slowly find their way there. After all, unlike real stowaways, they are just here to film a show and do not have to actually enter the United States to wash dishes. The game ends when they reach the border.
"I think it's still..."
He was about to express his opinion.
"Sir, do you want to buy flowers?" An English question suddenly came from beside me.
Looking back, it turned out to be a little girl about fifteen years old. She was standing on the street, holding a basket with some red roses in it.
"Want to buy flowers? They're very cheap for one dollar a bunch." Seeing that he didn't answer, the girl asked again.
Song Wenbin has studied English hard for several months, and has traveled abroad a lot, so his English level has improved a lot, so he still has no obstacles to such inquiries.
Sutina, who was lowering her head to contact the snakehead, raised her head and subconsciously wanted to answer.
"Oh, no, thank you, we don't need these for the time being." Song Wenbin replied in English.
Sutina was stunned on the spot. She looked at Song Wenbin with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
Huo Yu on the side widened his eyes, then raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms.
The flower girl didn't think there was anything unusual. She picked up the flowers and said sweetly: "Sir, the female companion next to you is so beautiful. It will definitely look better with a bouquet of flowers~"
"I'm sorry, one dollar per bunch is indeed too expensive. We don't have so much money. You'd better ask others." Song Wenbin replied in English.
Song Wenbin was telling the truth. Each of them only had 10,000 US dollars in funds, and they had to travel to the United States 5,000 kilometers away. Naturally, they could save the money as much as they could. He didn't want to live in a place like flowers that had nothing to do with survival. Spending money, not to mention the fact that two female colleagues and he are now in a cold war, he feels that even if he buys it, others may not recognize him.
The flower girl looked a little aggrieved and lingered beside Song Wenbin, refusing to leave. Song Wenbin felt that the business people here were a bit stalkerish and frowned in displeasure.
But at this moment Sutina walked up to him, bent down and looked at the flowers in the girl's basket, showing interest.
When the flower girl saw this, she immediately flattered her: "Sister, do you want to take a look? These are freshly picked flowers today. One bouquet only costs one dollar, and ten bouquets cost nine dollars. They are very cheap."
Sutina looked at the girl's appearance up and down, and saw that she was a bit dusty, her body was dusty, and her clothes had holes in them, and she immediately hesitated. While picking flowers, she asked: "Have you been selling for a day...?"
"yes…"
"It's not easy."
Seeing Sutina's expression, Hua Jianchen on the side immediately stepped forward and said, "Let's do this. I'll buy ten bunches. How about it?"
His voice was full of magnetism and generosity. When he spoke, he even squatted down and looked into the girl's eyes. He had a kind of sympathy and mature manly charm unique to the middle class.
Song Wenbin became increasingly impatient at this moment. He said in Chinese: "Hey, are we here to work or to do charity?"
Hua Jianchen raised his head and said softly, "Teacher Yan, we go abroad to represent our image, so don't be too cold~"
Song Wenbin sucked his teeth and said nothing.
On the other side, Hua Jianchen had already taken out several US dollars from his pocket, counted out two and gave them to the other party. While the little girl was counting the flowers, her peripheral eyes were staring at the dollars in Hua Jianchen's hand without blinking.
It wasn't until the transaction was completed that she took the basket and walked away slowly.
After buying the flowers, Hua Jianchen enthusiastically took the flowers and handed them to Su Tina aside, saying, "Teacher Su, look, these flowers actually match your clothes today quite well."
Su Tina glanced at Song Wenbin like lightning, and Song Wenbin walked away coldly. Sutina took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, I'm grateful."
Then Hua Jianchen took the other half of the flowers and handed them to Huo Yu, jokingly saying: "Teacher Huo, if you have a flower on your chest, you must be the Godfather of Colombia~"
Indeed, Huo Yu was dressed in a black hunting suit and a black fisherman's hat, looking like a cool guy.
"You are really good at talking, but forget it. I don't have that prickly thing in my hand." Huo Yu responded coldly.
Hua Jianchen was not upset, and happily took the remaining half of the flowers and started shopping with Sutina talking and laughing.
The four of them walked around the streets of Colombia for a while. Suddenly, there was yelling and the sound of glass being broken not far away.
Several people were startled and looked up. It turned out that there were several Latina women not far away who were having a conflict with a few black men. Those people looked young. Several Latina women were protecting a little boy. , and the black men were having a heated argument. Suddenly, one of the black men stretched out his hand and slapped one of the loudest Latina women in the face, beating her until she vomited blood.
This slap seemed to have ignited the flames of war. Immediately, different people on both sides yelled and cursed and joined the battle. The women stood on the women's side, and the black men stood on the black side. The two sides gathered together, fiercely arguing, and some Latin men turned over. After jumping over the guardrail, he had to kill several black men. The black men were not to be outdone, and they shot him with bows from left to right and they were brutal.
Upon seeing this, Song Wenbin quickly urged the program crew to leave this chaotic place of right and wrong, but Bao Like was already frustrated and kept approaching with small shooting equipment.
Seeing more and more Latinos attacking all around, the blacks were outnumbered. One of the blacks took advantage of the chaos and grabbed the little boy who was being protected by a Latino woman. He ran away, knocked away the crowd, and jumped over the guard. He ran over the bar in the direction where Song Wenbin and others were.
The little boy cried so hard that he was so sad.
When the Latin women saw the little boy being robbed, they screamed in English.
Song Wenbin's English has improved now, and he can understand to some extent what they are shouting. They are calling Song Wenbin to help stop the black man.
But how could Song Wenbin mind his own business? He hurriedly stepped aside and let the fierce black man run past.
But Huo Yu beside him didn't think so. Seeing the little boy crying fiercely, she immediately rolled up her sleeves and planned to give the black guy a hard blow.
Song Wenbin had been with Huo Yu for so long and knew her so well that he almost knew what she was going to fart before even taking off her pants. Regardless of the tense relationship between the two, he quickly grabbed her and said: "Mind your own business, this matter is related to You have nothing to do with football."
"Didn't you see that child crying? What should I do if I meet a human trafficker?" Huo Yu said loudly.
"You know he is a human trafficker!?"
Song Wenbin held the impulsive Huo Yu tightly and said, "Let's go quickly!"
"you……"
Huo Yu was furious.
Good guy, as soon as she got angry, Hua Jianchen rushed out like lightning, stopped in front of the black man who was running wildly with the child without any reason, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing, put him down!!"
The black man holding the child didn't expect that an Asian would come out halfway and bumped directly into Hua Jianchen, causing both of them to fall to the ground. The black man got up and went to pick up the child again. Hua Jianchen quickly protected the child from him and prevented him from grabbing it.
This angered the black man. He stared with beast-like eyes, raised his hand and punched Hua Jianchen in the face, knocking his sunglasses off.
"ah!"
Sutina on the side exclaimed, and the flowers in her hand fell to the ground.
Hua Jianchen probably didn't expect that the people outside would be so explosive, and started to take action without saying a word. At this time, the black man's brother also rushed out of the encirclement, jumped over the railing and surrounded Hua Jianchen.
Seeing that the fourth member of the team was about to be brutally beaten, Song Wenbin couldn't stand it any longer, so he let go of Huo Yu, silently walked aside and sat down.
After losing his restraint, Huo Yu rushed behind the black men almost like Sa Huan, and eagerly patted one of them on the shoulder.
