moment.
We came to a small restaurant on the side of the national highway.
As expected, the screwdriver tied the shop owner to a pillar with a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth.
The restaurant is about 50 square meters wide, on the first floor. The decoration is very simple, but it is clean and tidy.
Shu Xinyue was snickering all the way, probably because the way we dressed was too funny.
Even Xiao Qing grinned and drooled all the way, as if he was laughing at us for not being as handsome as him.
"Boss, we are not asking for money, nor are we asking for life, we are just asking you for a favor. I couldn't help myself just now."
As soon as the screwdriver entered the room, he quickly untied the rope and said very sincerely.
"It's okay. I won't blame you. If I need your help in the future, just don't refuse."
The boss is about fifty years old, with dark skin, thin build, medium height, bright eyes, and a thick Yunnan accent when he speaks.
His face was calm, and there was no trace of anger. It seemed that we "should" tie him up.
As long as you don't silence your mouth.
Soldiers, bandits and piggies are often seen in this kind of ghost place, and he said he is used to it.
There is no need to ask where we are from. According to his experience, he can guess our true identity with just one look.
I carefully placed the wrench on the chair, "Uncle, is there a hospital nearby?"
The boss rubbed his red-tied wrists and said, "Hospitals in urban areas are very expensive, and you don't look like locals. It's easy to attract attention when you go out with a gun on your back."
His eyes immediately moved to Shu Xinyue and her wolfdog, as if he was thinking about something.
I looked down at the floral waistcoat and tube skirt I was wearing, and twitched my lips, really unable to continue.
The screwdriver only found these fabrics from his house, so what can be done?
We can't walk around in his chef clothes. Besides, he doesn't have so many chef clothes for us to wear!
Moreover, these fabrics were left over from his former local employees, and he himself always wore local clothes.
On the other hand, Li Jianguo went to the kitchen to look for more useful knives as soon as he entered the restaurant...
Bayi also followed in with all his might.
But he was looking for something edible.
After looking at each other, Abu and I worriedly went to get antipyretics and hot water to cool down the sleeping wrench...
After Chen Weiqiang found a Huawei charger on the dining table, he immediately asked ecstatically: "Boss, how much are you willing to sell your mobility scooter for? We want to buy it!"
An old Shanghai Volkswagen off-road vehicle was parked outside the door.
With seven seats, you can fit even in a tight space.
The boss showed his big yellow teeth and said, "I am destined to give it to you, so I will give it to you. The fuel tank is full. As long as it is not a bad mountain road, it can run at least 300 miles."
The screwdriver asked: "Uncle, what is your request?"
"Find me someone."
"who?"
"My daughter!" The boss's expression suddenly became angry and sad. "A year ago, she disappeared inexplicably on the way home from get off work. Later, I sold all my belongings and found out that she had been kidnapped and brought to Myanmar.
I don’t know where exactly it is. Because of this incident, I lost my job and my wife divorced me and ran away.
But I don't want to give up, that is my only daughter, she is only 22 years old..."
Speaking of the sadness, the boss covered his face with his hands and choked up: "In order to find my daughter, I paid for my connections to open a Yunnan-style restaurant here.
Huangtian paid off. Last month, a few piglets passed by after escaping and said they had seen my daughter in Kokang, but they didn't know where she was sold.
Unfortunately, as soon as they left my place, they were kidnapped by local villagers and sold to Myawaddy. "
It turns out that he is a miserable man like us. No wonder he didn’t have any big reaction after seeing us.
After that, he took out a creased photo from his pocket.
The girl in the photo is pure and cute, with a high ponytail and a bright smile.
There is a mole as big as a grain of rice at the end of the right eyebrow, which is particularly conspicuous.
"This is her photo. Have you seen her in the Electronic Fraud Park?"
I shook my head and said that I had never seen it before. There were tens of thousands of people in KK Park. Who would recognize whom?
Looking at his expectant eyes, I feel very sad. I don’t know why, but when I see him, I think of my parents.
They must be like this uncle, taking my photos and searching for my whereabouts all over the world.
Maybe he is also selling his house and trying to help me return to China through some channels.
And my 90-year-old master...
The boss put the photo into his pocket in frustration and urged: "Oh, you guys, let's go! As soon as it gets dark, a patrol will come over for breakfast, and they will find that you are not good!"
After saying that, he picked up another bag of bread and fruits and handed them to me.
He said there was mineral water in the trunk of the off-road vehicle, which was enough for us to travel for two days, and asked us to leave here before dawn.
Because there are only two mountains separated from Miaowadi here, we can't stay for a long time.
Because we floated along the river, it was faster than the Karen border guards crossing the mountains.
Those maps that worked well in the city before came to the mountainous area and I found that they were of no use at all.
However, there are no eggs.
There are all big mountains here, and each of them is similar. It’s impossible to tell the difference between south, east, north and west.
Even locals will get lost when entering the mountains.
I thought about it and decided to ask: "Uncle, how far is it from Nanbian County and which way is the closest?"
The boss said doubtfully: "It's about seventy or eighty kilometers. When you go out, turn right and drive straight ahead. Don't you go to the embassy in Xiaomengla for help?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I simply want to take a detour, fearing that I will be tracked. The embassy is not that easy to get to."
"Oh...you guys should leave quickly. If you see my daughter on the road, call me and tell me."
The boss wrote down his mobile phone number on a piece of paper, then tore it off and handed it to me.
"Thank you! I will notify you as soon as there is news!"
"My hometown is Tengchong, Yunnan. My surname is Cun. Young man, you must remember it!"
"Uncle, I will never forget your kindness!"
I picked up the wrench, screwdriver and the others and quickly got into the car.
Shu Xinyue sat in the passenger seat with Xiaoqing in her arms, and Screwdriver was in charge of driving.
We sat in the back, with bread, instant noodles, and biscuits stuffed under the seats.
Boss Cun stood on the road and watched us until the car disappeared at the end of the road, then he silently turned around and entered the house...
The condition of the wrench alternates between good and bad, and even though we are anxious, there is nothing we can do about it.
After thinking again and again, I looked at the wrench in my arms with a high fever and said, "Qiangzi, turn on the phone and unlock it. I want to call Yan Yun!"
Going to Nanbian County to contact Yan Yun is also a big gamble.
As for how it will end, I have no way of predicting it.
Chen Weiqiang held the Huawei phone that Yang Lianting gave me, "Have you thought about it? Yan Yun may also be a time bomb!"
I looked at him fiercely and said, "If he dares to play tricks on me, I will kill him!"
If you can save him once, you can kill him again!
"……without password."
A few seconds later, Chen Weiqiang handed me the phone with a frown.
I held my phone tightly and quickly entered Yan Yun's phone number.
Then, he raised his head and said seriously: "Brother Dao, after you get us to a safe area, you can turn around and drive Bayi to the embassy for help."
