When Zhang Wa heard Cheng Ru's question, she also asked with some surprise: "Yes, don't you have jewelry? Didn't Yingying bring someone here to buy a batch of your gems last time? Why did you just
Didn’t you take the money to exchange for some ammunition?”
Ahu's face turned red and he opened his mouth to answer, but then he looked at Abu, and then said something in the local language. Abu nodded, looked at Chengru and the others and said: "My Chinese is the best here, so I should do it."
Tell me."
He put his right hand that was stained with food into a bowl of water on the table and washed it, then sighed and said: "Oh, Ao Kun and the others were the first to know that we have a treasure mountain. After some of his men were scattered by you,
Not only did someone spread the news, so our place became the target of drug lords big and small in this mountain."
"You originally left a lot of ammunition for us, but in the past few years, we have been fighting with the drug lords who tried to occupy our homeland, so the ammunition was consumed very quickly. In today's battle, we have already lost all our wealth.
All taken out."
At this time Abao followed up and said: "And we people are different from you. Most of us here have never touched a gun before, and our marksmanship skills are even worse. In critical moments, most of us can only rely on '
The burst of strafing suppresses the opponent's firepower, so the ammunition is consumed very quickly."
A Bao's dark face showed a look of sorrow and indignation, he raised his finger and pointed at A Hu's broken left arm and continued: "In the past few years, we have fought hundreds of battles with those bastards, and the ammunition has been consumed like this.
We went down. Later, when we had fewer bullets in our hands, we did not dare to shoot unless we had to. We only used machetes and bows and arrows to fight the enemy. Therefore, our people also suffered heavy casualties in the past year, with one hundred people already.
Many people died in battle in this mountain. Ahu's arm was blown off by a rocket fired by the enemy during a battle last year, and he almost lost his life that time."
When Chengru and the others heard the explanations of Abu and Abao, their faces darkened. At this time, they already understood that in this turbulent mountainous area, these scimitar men were guarding their homes all the time. At that time, they were
No matter how much ammunition is left, it will be exhausted in this endless battle.
At this time, Lingling reached out and picked up a plate of vegetables and put some more into the bowl of the girl next to her. Then she put down the plate and looked at the old patriarch and asked: "Old patriarch, didn't Yingying bring you a jewelry merchant? What did you do?
Why don't you use that money to buy some ammunition to replenish your consumption? I remember that Lao Liu also introduced you to an arms dealer at that time."
When the old patriarch heard the questions translated by Abu, his gray eyebrows trembled a few times. He looked at Abu and said, "You are the person in charge of external relations for our tribe. Please tell your benefactors." After that, he took the
He picked up the wine jar and poured a large bowl of wine into his own bowl. Then he picked up the bowl with a depressed expression, raised his head and poured the full bowl of wine into his mouth.
After hearing the patriarch's instructions, Abu quickly looked at Lingling and others and replied: "Yes, it was thanks to Miss Yingying that time. The merchant who brought the jewelry she brought bought a large number of gems at a very fair price, so we have on hand
We were not short of money, and at that time we did go to the arms dealer introduced by Lao Liu and buy some weapons and ammunition from him, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to hold on to the bullets we have now.”
"But a year ago, when we found that we were running out of ammunition, we went to look for the arms dealer, but suddenly found that we could not contact him. Later, in desperation, we contacted a man who was selling weapons to drug dealers in the mountains.
Arms dealer, but after we spent a lot of money, we found out that the ammunition we bought was expired ammunition, and many of them could not be fired!"
After Chengru and the others heard this, they already understood that Abu and the others were deceived with a large amount of money! Zhang Wa said angrily: "You didn't go find these bastards later?"
Abao said with anger flashing in his eyes: "How could it not be, but those bastards have already taken the money and disappeared without a trace."
Abu continued: "In this mountain, everyone knows that we scimitar people are not easy to bully, so after those people defrauded our money, they immediately left the mountain! I took my two brothers with me at that time
I ran all over the mountains and found no trace of them. I regretted it so much at the time, so many of our brothers died from these ineffective bullets." He lowered his head in shame as he spoke, with tears in his eyes.
.
Zhang Wa and others were silent when they heard this. They knew that when they raised their guns and pulled the triggers in the battle, they suddenly found that their guns stopped firing. At that time, they could only watch the enemy's bullets whistling.
It penetrated his own body! No wonder Abu, the person in charge of tribal procurement, felt so uncomfortable.
At this time, Lao Liu saw Abu's remorseful look and comforted him in a low voice: "Abu, you don't have to feel so uncomfortable. This is something that can't be helped. No one would have predicted that such a thing would happen in advance. I have been here
When doing business in this mountain, I have heard of such things for a long time, and drug dealers and local armed forces are often deceived."
Lao Liu then looked at Wan Lin and the others and explained: "Arms trading is prohibited in most countries, and this place is no exception. But here is a deep mountain and wild forest, where drug dealers are rampant, and it is a vacuum zone for supervision.
So there are a lot of arms dealers here, but without good connections, those arms dealers will cheat whenever they can, and they won’t be able to buy decent weapons and ammunition at all.”
At this time, Xiaoya raised her head and looked at him and asked: "Then why did the arms dealer you originally introduced suddenly disappear? Do you know his whereabouts?"
Old Liu shook his head slightly and said: "That arms dealer is a friend I met here. He also does other trades. I met him in business. This person is very honest in his business and can get all kinds of people.
We were growing weapons and ammunition, so I introduced him to Abu and the others, and told him to try his best to help the old patriarch and the others. I only recently heard from other business friends that this man was suddenly assassinated a year ago.
Several of his bodyguards were also killed at the same time. I guess this incident was caused by those vicious arms dealers."
When Lao Liu said this, there was a sad look on his face. He looked at Abu and said: "I guess when you found him a year ago, he was already killed. It's really sad to talk about it, and so was that friend.
He is a local man who is generous and generous. Not only has he helped you, but he has also given me a lot of help."
