Time passed quickly. The secret team spent the night. They took turns sleeping in the car for a while. When it was time to rest, Li Moyang decided to use various collected pistols and 7.8mm bullets to trade with Goa in exchange for I got help from the ferryman in Xiongkao Town.

The next day, a ferryman from the upper reaches arrived at Xiongkao Town. Jia Hongjie inquired about it and found out that the ferryman came from a small village called Kenglai on the third highway in the upper reaches. He made a living on this. Has twenty years of ferry experience.

When everyone saw the ferryman's bamboo raft, they were still surprised. The bamboo raft was tied with more than a dozen large bamboos. It was about ten meters long and one and a half meters wide. It was probably just made, and the bamboo was still transparent. With emerald green.

The ferryman took a few guns and some bullets as payment, and then said to Jia Hongjie: "Pack your things and get ready to hit the road."

Although it sounded awkward to Jia Hongjie, he didn't pay much attention to it. No one in the secret team could understand it anyway.

The secret team had been prepared for a long time. At this time, they received the order and boarded the bamboo raft one after another. Li Jianrui seemed to have found the feeling of the raft he was sitting on before. One foot was deep and the other was shallow, and he carefully boarded the bamboo raft. , I saw the raft rising and falling in the water waves. Leping and Wu Guoyun, who had gone up first, were watching with smiles, on guard and waiting for Li Jianrui to make a fool of himself.

When everyone got on the bamboo raft, lined up in a row, and sat on the raft obediently, the ferryman jumped on the raft as light as a swallow. The bamboo raft did not vibrate much. Li Jianrui turned around and looked at it, feeling that the professionals It is indeed different.

There are no dangerous shoals along the way, but there are many bends. In addition, the river water after leaving Xiongkao Town is very fast. The ferryman stood on the bow of the boat, holding his pennies in both hands, constantly adjusting the direction. If it were not for his rich experience, , this journey has never been so comfortable, and if you are not careful, the boat will capsize and people will die.

Li Jianrui carefully observed the ferryman's movements and compared them with his previous desperate journey. He also learned a lot along the way.

The speed of the bamboo raft is about thirty or forty kilometers. There are too many people on it, and they all carry weapons and ammunition. The waterline of the bamboo raft is only a few millimeters. The soldiers of the secret team are like sitting in the river. .

Everyone's actions are the same. They hold the gun in their right hand. The muzzle of the Type 56 submachine gun is pointed upward. The butt of the gun is pressed against the bamboo raft. It can protect the gun and attack at any time. There are cliffs along the river, about 20 meters high. At the top, you can see dense plants.

It took about an hour to walk along the less than 20 kilometers of river, and there were no dangers along the way. However, the ferryman started doing business with Jia Hongjie after stopping at the shore.

"There are two roads with different directions and different speeds. Do you agree?" the ferryman asked.

Jia Hongjie frowned: "What do you mean?"

The ferryman replied: "Where do you plan to go? Let me guess, there are only a few big towns nearby. You came from Mangxin Town and hurriedly crossed the river. Are you going to Mei'ang Town?" "

Jia Hongjie translated the ferryman's words to Li Moyang. Li Moyang said: "Ask him if he knows the fastest way to Mei'ang Town. If he knows, how much he plans to sell for."

The ferryman was a bachelor and his requirements were not high. He only needed 20 rounds of ammunition. He pointed due south and said: "You can go straight ahead from here, about one kilometer, and you will find the largest town in this section of the Mengkong River."

"There are cars and munitions there. If you are going to Mayang Town, it is best to stay there for a while. By the way, I have some news for you. Walk about three kilometers southwest from here and you will find another town, but the people there are very different. Friendly, and very poor, I guess there are no cars,”

After saying that, he jumped on the bamboo raft and held his bamboo pole upstream. Li Jianrui once again understood what "masters are among the people". The strength that exploded from the ferryman's body left a deep impression on the soldiers of the secret team.

Li Moyang looked at the back of the ferryman and felt that if he could stay as a guide, maybe the progress could be accelerated a lot. However, he changed his mind and gave up this unreliable idea. It was just a casual trader. If he changed hands, Selling the team to someone else would be a big problem.

Li Moyang said: "Check the ammunition and supplies, we are ready to go,"

The ammunition on each soldier has not been reduced. The two base bullets are enough. The other items will probably be used in the town ahead, a town not shown on the map.

When the secret team arrived, they were immediately surprised to see the densely packed stilt houses. It was probably a newly emerging town, because judging from the scope of the town, it should be visible on the aerial photo.

Li Moyang and his team did not stop in the town, but found a local driver and went straight to Me'ang Town.

In fact, the distance from the town to Mei'ang Town is not that far, about thirty or forty kilometers, but Li Moyang said in the car: "Look at the surrounding environment."

Li Jianrui was sitting next to the car window as usual. At a glance, he found a lot of hiding spots. It was now morning, and it was very clear. If the secret team just walked on the road with such swagger, it would become a target for the jungle hunters. Who would He is not an invulnerable iron king. It is better to just ride in a car.

Since the Golden Triangle lost control of the Shan Republic in Khun Sa, many places have fallen apart and have not been maintained. In the past, the roads were maintained by the world's largest drug trafficking organization, but now no one cares about them. Due to the impact of the war, With the increase in refugees, ordinary farmers living in the Golden Triangle have no fixed residence. When fighting in Myanmar, they go to Laos, and when fighting in Laos, they go to Thailand, and so on.

Along the way, under Jia Hongjie's translation, everyone also learned some local conditions from the driver's mouth. Li Moyang tried to ask for news about Jiang Yuheng, but unexpectedly he actually got some specious news. It was said that a Chinese from the north seemed to be here. It had a big head and disappeared after entering Laos.

Li Moyang became excited at that time: "Hurry up and ask for news about the Chinese."

After some questioning, Jia Hongjie found out that the Chinese had appeared in Odong City. It was said that he was carrying a treasure map that Khun Sa had left behind before he surrendered.

Jia Hongjie's heart was full of doubts. The more he listened, the more he felt that what the driver said was unreliable. It sounded like something from a fourth- or fifth-rate TV series. However, Li Moyang was eager to listen to Jia Hongjie's translation. His eyes turned green when he stared at Jia Hongjie. .

However, after listening to the driver's words, Li Moyang also felt that it was outrageous, because it was not compatible with the positioning of the military Big Dipper. He was also in trouble for a while, but he still asked Jia Hongjie to try to find out more information about the Chinese.
