On the issue of how to rescue Lao Wan, through the planning and conspiracy of Lao Wei and I, we finally leaned towards Jin Chan's escape.
The reason why it has not been implemented is that I want to wait until Lao Wan's body recovers.
Now, after nearly a month of recovery, he is almost back to 80% condition.
Although Lao Wan kept telling me not to worry, I also knew that no one wanted to stay in that dark little room.
Therefore, Lao Wei and I decided to move Lao Wan out of the small dark room in these two days.
Everything is ready, all that is needed is a tool stand-in.
Maybe someone said, why are you looking for a scapegoat to go out on the street?
Is it possible that there are dead people on the streets?
Yes, there are really dead people on the streets!
Don't think it's an exaggeration. Listen to me and you may understand.
When it comes to Myanmar, the three biggest impressions that Chinese people have are probably poverty, tube skirts and poppies.
Poverty is recognized. Myanmar's per capita income has always been at the bottom of Asia, and it is a close friend of the Philippines, Laos, and Vietnam.
Of course, not everyone is poor. Let’s take the four major families in northern Myanmar. Their wealth is comparable to that of some of the super rich in the country.
It’s just that the base of the poor is too large, which drives down the average income.
As for the tube skirt, it is considered to be the representative of beautiful women in Southeast Asia.
As we all know, Southeast Asia in ancient times was a vassal state of the Chinese Dynasty. Influenced by the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, the status of women here was also very low.
However, Myanmar has hot weather all year round, and women cannot show their legs, so clothing like tube skirts gradually emerged.
To put it simply, a tube skirt is a large piece of cloth with many exquisite patterns embroidered on it. Wrapped around the body, it can perfectly show off a woman's graceful figure.
The status of the tube skirt in the hearts of Myanmar women is similar to that of the domestic cheongsam. The higher the status of a woman, the brighter the tube skirt she wears, and some are embroidered with gold threads and agate.
Let’s talk about poppies.
Poppies are very environmentally demanding plants, and Myanmar’s unique climate is just right for the growth of poppies. Before comprehensive drug ban, when the Golden Triangle was prevalent, the entire northern Myanmar was covered with poppies.
Even surpassing Mexico, it has become the world's largest drug manufacturing and transportation base.
Even now, after joint efforts by several countries, the drug industry is still a stubborn problem, and the annual export volume is still an astronomical figure.
Due to huge profits and strong dependence, this thing has a lot of room for survival in any country, let alone northern Myanmar, where it cannot be banned at all.
The white noodles extracted from poppy are also the favorite of the big guys. It's not that they like to smoke, but they use this kind of thing to control their subordinates.
Especially the female armrests, in order to stop them from thinking about escaping and willingly help them make money, many bosses like to feed them little white noodles.
Once you're addicted, you're at its mercy.
This thing can not only bring great pleasure to the body, but also destroy the body in the shortest time!
But the bosses don't care about this. When the female armrests have made enough money and their bodies are almost broken, they can just maim them and throw them on the streets to fend for themselves!
Not only female handrails, many internal security guards and local people also do this. Therefore, on the streets of northern Myanmar, you can often see some haggard people, like walking zombies.
These are addicts who are not far away from enjoying paradise.
When it comes to the three evils, people in the world will readily mention pornography, gambling and drugs, but in my opinion, ranking drugs at the last place is the most ridiculous!
In terms of harm, it is the most powerful, the most serious, and the one with the least antidote!
If you get into gambling and you lose everything, you may come to your senses.
But once you are exposed to poison, life is basically unsolvable!
I don't think anyone can dispute my opinion on this topic.
Maybe someone has said that I have seen people who have successfully given up drug addiction.
Well, I’m not a bad person either. There is only one situation in which he can quit: the prerequisite is that he is not deeply poisoned and his willpower is strong enough.
If you are seriously poisoned, would you try?
That kind of pain will drive you completely crazy!
Your thoughts and actions have been completely controlled by the devil, and you will do your best to find an antidote, no matter what method you use!
Occasionally when you are awake, you will only have one thought: how to end your life.
There are simply not too many such examples. I only say one thing about this: No matter how curious you are, don’t be curious about this!
There is still a way to turn back if you are addicted to gambling, but you can only restart your life if you become addicted to drugs.
Back to business.
There are only a few streets in Mengbo. Lao Wei and I walked around twice but didn't gain much.
There are addicts, but they are all alive. Lao Wei and I are not judges and have no right to end their lives.
Finally, I met a dying person in a bridge cave, but she was a woman and did not fit the description.
Then we went to Qingshui River.
It is no exaggeration to say that floating corpses, some piglets tortured to death, and fights between gangs are found in this river almost every day. After people die, they are too lazy to dig holes and throw them into the river to feed the fish.
For some ferry passengers, this is no surprise.
This time Lao Wei and I changed our minds and went directly to find some local ferry passengers.
When he learned that we wanted a dead man, the old ferryman's expression was not too exciting.
After giving him some money, he told us a place where we might have what we wanted.
The place he was talking about was also a bridge, but it was a bit far from the city.
According to what the old man said, there is a park not far from the bridge. Whenever someone dies, they are thrown into the bridge.
This time we didn't miss it. When we came to the bridge cave, we did find two corpses.
Judging from the clothes, they must be the piglets in the park. They have been thrown here for two days and they all stink. There are also signs of being eaten by wild dogs.
In China, they may be missing persons who have not been heard from for a long time. Their families are still looking forward to their return, but as everyone knows, they have long since become lonely ghosts.
This is damn electronic fraud, and it is also the norm in northern Myanmar in these days.
Old Wei and I were both not surprised, so we endured nausea and put one of the bodies into a sack.
After arriving at the park, I summoned all the internal security guards to one place on the pretext of a meeting.
This is just to allow Old Wei to avoid the eyes and ears.
Lao Wei carried the dead body into the small dark room. After some operations and arrangements, he and Lao Wan left the park together.
That night, Lao Wan stayed in a hotel.
I have asked Lao Wan about how to live in the future, and his answer is very firm. I saved his life, and he will sell his life to me in the future!
In fact, it's not that he can't go back, but that he doesn't want to go back.
His career as a fraudster in the past few years has completely destroyed him. He lost his father when he was twelve years old, and his old mother also died of illness the year before last, and he no longer has the responsibility to support him.
His wife and a pair of children have also remarried, and their current life is pretty good.
My daughter got married and my son went to college. He didn’t want to disturb their lives by going back, and he might have to go to jail if he went back, so he chose to follow me.
He also said that he would do more good deeds in the future and seek some blessings for the children in the country.
I naturally support his decision with both hands.
I'm in need of people right now, and it's even harder to find someone who is brave and loyal even with a lantern!
And Lao Wan is undoubtedly the leader among them.
Later facts also proved that Lao Wan was indeed a hard-to-find warrior!
Every time he fought, he was brave and fearless. The momentum he exuded made his opponents frightened, and he earned the title of 'Yam Luo' in northern Myanmar.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
