"Where did you get this short video?"
Niral's supervisor Henry asked with a frown.
In fact, at this time, he seemed to have little reaction on the surface, but in fact he was already ecstatic inside.
Of course Henry knew what this thing meant.
Director William was ordered by Congress to collect all information and clues related to the mysterious powerful man in Daxia. Although the main person in charge is Irving from Daxia District, it does not mean that people from other districts cannot intervene.
What’s wrong with sharing the worries of colleagues?
He still has to thank me!
Niral shrugged: "I saw it on a friend's TT."
TT?
Henry's mouth twitched.
The bureau spends tens of millions of dollars every year in the Far East without finding any clues. However, it was directly found on TT and it was pushed.
What will others think if this is spread?
Doesn’t it feel like the CIA has a bunch of pigs?
"Those guys in the Cyber Security Department should be damned! They receive huge salaries, but they didn't even find out in time that clues were posted online! Let me tell you, they are really wasting taxpayers' money!"
Henry cursed secretly, and suddenly thought: "Did TT's hand stretch too far? He can push us information from Daxia, and maybe he will also push our information to Daxia. No, we must find a way to let Daxia It is obedient, otherwise... hum!"
After coming back to his senses, he said to Niral: "I can't judge the value of this thing for the time being. I will help you forward it to the director. If it is valuable, your reward will be inevitable. Young man, do your best and wait for me. When you retire, this position is yours!"
"Thank you, boss!"
Niral's face turned red with excitement, as if he had been injected with blood.
Henry laughed inwardly.
Hey, it’s great to be young.
However, as Niral walked out of the headquarters, his face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth: "This bastard, you clearly want to take credit for my achievements, do you think I can't see it?!"
When I retire, my position will be mine, bullshit!
Tiantian knows that there is almost no room for the cakes in the labor and management refrigerator, so it is better to pay more bonuses, otherwise you will not be able to pay the rent this month, and you will have to demolish one wall to pay for the other.
This is the famous Central Intelligence Agency. When did it become like this?
Niral didn't know.
But he knew that not only the CIA, but the entire Great America was no longer what it used to be.
I couldn't help but get angry: "How can we build a good country with such insects?"
Many people came here with the dream of America, but found that the gap between reality and their dreams was too big, and they couldn't bear to go back, or they couldn't go back, so they were forced to stay here.
He looked at all kinds of garbage everywhere on the street, the homeless people huddled in the corners, and the drug addicts blatantly flying leaves.
An indescribable feeling came over me.
Somewhat inexplicably sad.
"Look, America is taking jujube pills!"
…
Lucheng.
Although it was past 12 o'clock at night, this tourist city was still brightly lit and filled with groups of tourists dressed in cool clothes.
If you put this in bulk in the Soviet Union, someone will stop you in custody and ask for your ID card.
After Chen Jingle dealt with the strange incident, he bought a fruit fried ice at the night market nearby.
This is also considered a local specialty.
What? Does Lucheng also have local specialties? Doesn’t Lucheng only have Northeastern cuisine?
Tourist: "Boss lady, is this Wenchang chicken of yours authentic?"
Boss wife: "Brother, just eat it, the chicken will be delicious!"
Well, actually there are still some.
It’s true that the proprietress is from Northeast China, but the dishes are indeed local specialties.
No one stipulates that Northeast Bank cannot open a store selling local specialties in Qiongdao.
Lucheng, or Qiongdao’s local specialties, such as coconut chicken, roast suckling pig, Eastern goat, Baoluo powder, Lingshui sour powder, dregs vinegar, Qingbu Liang, chicken shit vine and so on.
As for local Lucheng restaurants, Gangmen Seafood Noodles is one of them.
The main reason is that Qiongdao is too small and the food areas are not clearly divided, while Lucheng is a big city, and food from all counties and cities can be found here.
Chen Jingle has a special liking for desserts.
Like fruit fried ice, he chose mango.
Put freshly cut large pieces of mango into a juicer, add pure milk, and stir evenly to make it mellow and fragrant. After frying, the dense juice will slowly turn into a small iceberg, and then poured with condensed milk and crushed peanuts to form a special fruit fried ice.
After one sip, the dense texture, accompanied by the sweetness of the fruit, bursts into your mouth. If you have a cup in the summer, you will definitely feel refreshed.
It is also good to refresh and cool down.
In fact, the Qingbu Liang product is also available in Chen Jingle’s hometown, and I don’t know if it was passed down from Qiongdao.
Anyway, the food in the three provinces of Qiong is similar.
Just as he was leisurely eating desserts and advancing in an orderly manner to occupy the nearby Boundary Lord Temple, Li Yunting in Coconut City felt a little dizzy.
…
Although Li Yunting was ready to give the role of a floor cleaner, he still didn't expect it to come so quickly and have such a wide range of influence.
“Facts have proven that dogmatism kills people!”
He had been paying attention to the news from Guangdong and Guangxi and learning from their experiences, but he overlooked one point: Qiongdao is not Guangdong and Guangxi, and specific problems must be analyzed in detail.
How to operate must be consistent with local conditions.
There are more foreign tourists in Lucheng than in many cities, especially in some northern hemisphere countries, such as Damao, where they have a pathological obsession with tropical ocean beaches.
Therefore, Lucheng gathers a large number of foreign tourists.
The mobile phones of these people are not under the control of Daxia, and they do not use domestic software. Therefore, some of the videos and photos they publish on certain tubes or TT cannot be blocked in time in Qiongdao.
It also gave other countries a window to peek into the situation in Daxia.
It’s so annoying!
Li Yunting frowned and was ready to be reprimanded by the headquarters.
However, when he carefully reported the matter to Qiu Yong, Qiu Yong was very calm and only said "I understand."
Hiss~
Li Yunting couldn't help but take a breath and secretly wondered: "Is the boss planning to make it fully public?"
Hmm, probably not.
I feel like it would be too hasty and sudden if it were made public now.
However, it is not as strict as before. Some rumors are released intentionally or unintentionally, so that the public can be mentally prepared, and at the same time, try to make some practical preparations yourself.
As far as he knew, there were quite a lot of differences among the people above. There were several different opinions, but no one could convince anyone.
The more mainstream view at present is to continue to conserve power. No matter when it is made public, we must ensure that we have enough power to protect the country and the people.
Even without that person's help.
After all, Daxia's seven thousand years of history told them that they had to rely on themselves for everything and could not place their hopes entirely on others.
Mountains will fall if you rely on them, and rivers will dry if you rely on them.
Only if you have it yourself do you really have it!
In the end, Li Yunting couldn't figure out the reason. He had no choice but to talk to the top and couldn't access the core information.
Forget it, let’s continue to wait and see.
"Let's take care of that person's affairs first. I hope there won't be any more trouble. My three-acre land can't stand the trouble."
Now I just hope that the person can "consecrate" the various temples on the island as soon as possible, and then I can breathe a sigh of relief.
…
Chen Jinngle didn't know Li Yunting's troubles, and he wasn't interested.
He just discovered something interesting.
Throwing the finished fried ice box into the trash can, the figure disappeared and reappeared, already in the sky over a countryside at the foot of a mountain.
The reason why he came here was because he sensed that someone had triggered some kind of special power.
But what caught his attention was not this force, but the person who caused it.
Many people know that the Li people in Qiongdao have a folk custom that makes people curious and fearful.
That's tattoos.
In Li dialect, it is also called "Dadeng". The special thing is that only women can get tattoos.
(Men also exist, but they have no special meaning and are very rare.)
This is a legacy of ancient matriarchal society and the crystallization of ancestor worship and totem worship in primitive times.
The scary thing is that these tattoos are large-scale, covering the entire face or even the whole body.
In the traditional customs of the Li people, women without tattoos cannot be buried in the family cemetery after death, and their souls will wander around and cannot find a home.
So women usually start getting tattoos when they are children.
The entire tattoo cycle can last several years. It’s not about tattooing for several years at a time, but tattooing continuously for several years. The earliest ones will start at the age of eight, then ten, twelve, fourteen and so on.
They will tattoo their Li cultural patterns or symbols on their faces, necks, chests, and limbs. Different branches have different tattoo patterns and locations.
Some will have tattoos all over their body, while others will only have them tattooed on their arms or calves.
The material for tattooing is mainly to add hay incense and charcoal, soak it in blue-black water formed for seven days, then use chicken feathers or rushes to draw patterns on the skin surface, and then use sharp white vine or red vine stems and leaves with T-shaped thorns to draw a pattern. The needles are inserted into the girl's skin so that the tattoo remains for life.
It sounds painful to ordinary people, and it's no better than rolling an arrow across a bed of thorns.
Therefore, the country abolished and banned this custom decades ago.
Nowadays, no Li women have tattoos on their faces.
But privately, this inheritance has not been cut off.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of tattoo is just a kind of national culture, but in the eyes of some special people, it is a way to obtain some special ability to protect the family and guard the tribe.
Because tattoos are not just embroidery and engraving, they are also seals!
What is sealed is the ghosts and gods of the Li people.
The Li people have a strong atmosphere of ghosts and gods. They both believe in and fear ghosts and gods, which has led to the creation of professions related to gods and witches such as mother-in-law, Taoist priest, old man, Li Gong, etc. They may ask ghosts to drive them out, or perform divination or pray for blessings.
Tattoo artists are one of them.
They will seal some of the power that originally belonged to ghosts and gods into the human body through tattoos and embroidery, in order to use this power to maintain safety.
There is a limit to the power that can be gained from this type of tattoo, so only ordinary women can withstand it.
Tattoos cannot be done casually, there are strict rules.
For example, the ones located on the cheeks of the face are called "Fuhun", the upper lip means "auspiciousness", the ones on the lower jaw are "Duofu", the buttocks are similar to copper coins, which means "wealth", the torso means "wealth" and "justice", and the legs are "lucky". The first part is "protection".
These tattoo designs can often bring more or less special effects, allowing a Li family to survive in a harsh environment.
The size of the tattoo is undoubtedly linked to the natural ability.
In ancient tradition, only those who are most suitable and can best achieve the effect of tattoos will be allowed to have full-body tattoos.
Such a person, even among the entire Li people, has an extremely high status.
…
Each branch of the Li ethnic group has its own dedicated tattoo artist.
They are all held by female elders in the clan.
Because tattooing is an internal matter for women, men are not allowed to participate.
Before getting a tattoo, you need to prepare for a complicated ceremony.
It is necessary to kill a chicken and serve wine, to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, and to receive the name of the tattooed person, in order to achieve the purpose of praying for blessings and peace.
Because the power of most Li tattoos comes from their ancestors.
Different tattoo designs are also a sign of whether a person is from the same ethnic group and whether he or she can get married.
The Li people in Qiongdao have five branches: Yuli, Qili, Bengli, Meifuli, and Kamoli. If the tattoo designs held by these five branches are brought together and put together into a complete pattern, You will find that in this huge picture, there is an image of a giant standing tall and tall.
However, no one has ever been able to completely tattoo this pattern on their body.
This giant is the humanistic ancestor of the Li people - Hercules.
The Li language name is "Paolongkou".
Robe means ancestor, long means big, and buckle means strength.
In a sense, it is what we often call Pangu.
Whether it is the creation of the world or the transformation into all things after death, the "Paolong Button" in the legend of the Li people is highly consistent with the Pangu myth.
The power of Li tattoos comes largely from the ancestors of the Li people, led by Pao Longkou.
Chen Jingle obtained the complete tattoo diagram through deduction.
But he has no use for this thing and is not interested in tattoos.
I simply think that the first person to come up with the idea of retaining the power of the strange god through a tattoo is definitely a genius.
…
Chen Jingle's eyes fell on an ordinary two-story building below.
Many people think that people in Qiongdao are very rich, and even in rural areas, every family lives in Dabieye, etc.
Not really.
The gap between rich and poor exists everywhere.
Generally, the state will allocate land for cultivation to the indigenous people of Qiongdao, but in the three regions of North, Central and South, the area of land allocated to each family is different.
Near Lucheng, a family may have 20 acres, so they can grow some betel nuts, coconuts, and jackfruit, and the income is still good.
But it would be good if we could be allocated seven or eight acres in some parts of central Qiongdao.
The living conditions of the family in front of me are not bad, but compared with those living in Dabieye, they are a bit worse.
There were two men and two women living inside, a middle-aged couple and their two children.
What caught Chen Jingle's attention was their daughter.
A little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
Late update, Orz!
