Nine hundred and fortieth chapters descendants of bandits
After purchasing the jade carving of "Fuwa Sitting on a Lotus Platform", Director Mu followed Ye Ming and Chen Mengqi almost all the time, introducing them to various local products and the northwest. The local customs and customs, and introduce the scenic spots to be seen next.
At noon the next day, after visiting all the scenic spots in Yan'an, the driver took the initiative to change the place where he bought the jujube. According to Ye Ming's request, he drove to the "Zhangjiahe jujube specialty store" and enthusiastically helped him and Chen Mengqi choose. Good red dates helped them negotiate the price. As a result, at Chen Mengqi's insistence, they purchased another nearly 10,000 yuan of jujubes and completed the mailing procedures. Director Mu and Lao Chen received another one or two thousand yuan in rebates.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, in accordance with the travel contract, Ye Ming and his small group were transferred in Yan'an by a tour bus from a tourism company in N County, Luchuan City and another male tour guide. They were responsible for taking the group to n. We have completed two other itineraries in the county: one is to visit the Folk Culture Village this afternoon and rest in the village in the evening; the other is to visit the Qin Dynasty Ancient Plank Road and Luming Mountain tomorrow morning.
Director Mu also explained to everyone the reason why the local travel agency took over the group: It turns out that the economy of County N is relatively backward, and tourism is a pillar industry. Therefore, local protectionism is relatively serious, and any foreign tour group will not travel to the county. , can only be picked up by local travel agencies, and even foreign tour guides are not allowed to follow tourists into their tourist attractions. The Folk Culture Village and the Qin Dynasty Ancient Plank Road in N County are the most popular destinations for many people traveling to the Northwest. Therefore, other travel agencies have no choice but to accept their overbearing behavior...
According to Ye Ming's temper, if he hadn't happened to be going to Lujiazhuang in Luchuan City to pay homage to Grandpa Lu, he would rather not visit these two scenic spots than be tossed around by two travel agencies like now. Moreover, He also decided: Chen Mengqi will continue to visit the Qin Dynasty Ancient Plank Road and Luming Mountain with the group tomorrow morning, and he will go directly to Lujiazhuang to pay homage to Grandpa Lu’s grave. In the afternoon, he will arrange for someone to pick Chen Mengqi up to Lujiazhuang, and in the evening Spend the night there.
The tour guide who picked up the group this time was a lean man in his thirties, with a gloomy appearance. He had a sling bag slung across his body and a loudspeaker in his hand. He didn't smile at all from beginning to end and looked at him coldly. The twenty or so people in this group got on the bus and counted silently, as if they were counting a batch of goods he had purchased.
The driver of the tourist bus also had the same gloomy face as the tour guide, as if everyone owed him money. He leaned on the steering wheel, crossed his legs and observed the passengers in the bus, looking at him from time to time. The ground flashed with a few rays of fierce light, and he was probably not a kind person.
Ye Ming knows that in any tourist area with a bit of monopoly and local protectionism, the tour guides there are of extremely poor quality. Some of them are local ruffians who forcibly sneak into travel agencies, get a tour guide brand, and then take advantage of the opportunity. Extorting money from tourists coming from other places. Seeing the conduct of the tour guide and driver today, Ye Ming suspected that his group might have encountered such shady travel agencies and tour guides.
Sure enough, less than half an hour after the tour bus drove to N County, Luchuan City, and exited Yan'an, the male tour guide who had been silent suddenly stood up, raised the big speaker, cleared his throat, and spoke. He said expressionlessly: "Everyone, our tour bus has now entered Luchuan City. In more than an hour, we will reach our destination: the Folk Culture Village in Gaoling Town, N County. Now, I would like to express my sincere greetings to you first. Everyone introduced themselves: My surname is Ma, and I am a horse. You can call me Director Ma, or you can call me Brother Ma.
"Of course, there are many travelers and friends here who are older than me. I call myself Brother Xiaoma, which may be a little suspicious of me, but I can tell you: I am in our n county, and my nickname is Brother Xiaoma. In County N, whenever you mention my little brother Ma, it can be said that no one knows or knows about me. If anyone doesn’t believe it, you can go to the county to verify: you can just grab a person walking on the street and ask them if they know Xiao Ma. Brother Ma, at least eight out of ten people will say that they know each other, so don’t mind if everyone calls me Brother, it’s just a nickname, right?”
As soon as these words came out, many tourists in the car frowned: His words clearly had a hint of showing off and threatening. He was reminding the people in the car that he, as a tour guide, is not a simple tour guide. The character is a well-known "Big Brother" in N County. Therefore, you'd better be good and obedient, otherwise, you will be left with nothing to eat...
Ye Ming knew that his group had really encountered a black tour guide today, so he held Chen Mengqi tightly in his arms and squinted his eyes calmly as he watched the tour guide named Ma perform.
After introducing himself, the Ma guide pointed to the driver and introduced: "My brother, also named Ma, we grew up together and now we are in the same travel agency. Let me ask you something first. Question: In the northwest, when people named Ma are mentioned, who is the first celebrity that comes to mind?"
An elderly traveler replied: "In my impression, the only celebrities with the surname Ma in the northwest are Ma Bufang, Ma Hongkui, and Ma Hongbin, the bandit leaders in the northwest. I have never heard of the others."
The horse guide raised his thumb and praised in a smooth tone: "Old man, you are very knowledgeable. Your answer is correct. I will give you ten points."
After saying these words, he said in a very proud tone: "Everyone, let me tell you this: I am a descendant of Ma Bufang, the leader of the Majia Army in the northwest. If you look at it from the previous point of view, I am an out-and-out bandit. Descendants, and everyone also knows: We Northwest men, especially the descendants of the Ma family, are very bloody and a bit gangster. Our principle of conduct is: you respect me one foot, and I respect you one foot. , If you don’t give me face, I will give you a knife. We still adhere to the habits of our ancestors and always carry knives when we go out. If you don’t believe it, I can prove it to everyone.”
As he said that, he actually took out a gleaming machete from his big punching bag and held it up in the air for everyone to see.
Many timid travelers could not help but scream in surprise when they saw the sharp machete in his hand.
At this point, Ye Ming was completely convinced: this shady tour guide would try his best to collect money from the passengers on the bus later.
