Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1470 Border situation
On a rainy night, a group of five of us, wearing camouflage uniforms and a complete set of equipment, walked through the dense jungle, avoided countless sentry posts, and embarked on the road to smuggle into Myanmar.

Xiao Hei walked in the front, Brother Kui had just recovered and walked behind him, An Zi and I were in the middle, Guan Ze walked at the back, A Guo was in poor health and had an injury on his leg, and Xi Zi stayed on the border. Meet us inside.

After choosing this path, Xiao Hei spent a lot of effort and money before someone told us about this path. Even after spending so much money, no one was willing to take us along, so we had to follow the path by ourselves. The routes they offer, take a chance.

The road is difficult to walk, there are dense jungles everywhere, and the rain makes the road very muddy. If there is no map, we can't tell the direction at all, and we don't know that there is another road here.

Today is already the second day. The original straight-line distance was less than 10 kilometers. Now it takes three days to walk. Xiao Hei looked at the branches and the map at the same time, and then shouted to us: "press At this speed, we have to arrive tomorrow night, so we need to hurry up!"

I complained in my heart, at this speed, I have put in all my energy, if I speed up, I am afraid I will fall behind. Of course it doesn’t matter, but I’m different. I’ve never experienced such hardship. Every time I step on the ground and then lift my foot, I feel very painful. This is completely different from exercising and running. Boy, I'm about to give up the idea.

In the end, I couldn't move anymore, so I asked Xiao Hei to stop and discussed it. Xiao Hei, Brother Kui and Anzi went first, and Guan Ze and I followed behind. Try not to fall behind. Mark where you go so we can catch up with them.

Time waits for no one, it's been three full days since they let me deliver the delivery, there's been no movement at all, no one has called me, I've called and no one answered, it's worrying me , Have they already dealt with Yaoyang and Lu Ping? I dare not even think about it. Will they not even give me a chance to explain?

Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, Guan Ze and I arrived at the designated place. This is a large open space. The surrounding weeds have been cut down. Many tents have been set up in the center, and many people set up camp here. You can also see people living and cooking here, and others selling drinks and food. Xiao Hei and the others have been waiting for us there for almost a day.

Seeing me and Guan Ze coming, Xiao Hei took the luggage bag from my shoulder and said, "You are finally here, you shouldn't be allowed to come!"

I gave him a blank look and asked, "Have we crossed the border of Myanmar now?"

Xiao Hei hummed and said: "There is another checkpoint ahead, which was set up by the Burmese military. After passing that checkpoint, we will be considered as a successful smuggler!"

I asked curiously: "Let's go there like this, will they arrest us?"

Xiao Hei shook his head and said: "No, this control card is actually set up for the telecom fraud group. Normally, there is no such checkpoint. We are already on the territory of Myanmar! They just want to pass through the country. The fraudulent payment of protection fees is precisely because of this, this place will become lawless and become a criminal paradise!"

I said with a oh: "That's easy, let's just give the money!"

Xiao Hei curled his lips and said: "It's hard to handle, we can't give more, then they will think we are rich, and they will be targeted by them, and we can't give less, then we may not be able to get through and take the money , let us be sent back to the country directly! Also, I’m not sure if they have insiders from the drug cartel, if there is, our whereabouts will be completely exposed!”

I frowned and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Xiao Hei replied calmly: "Wait!"

I asked puzzledly, "What are you waiting for?"

Xiao Hei replied: "When a large number of people pass the card, we will follow in!"

I looked at the people in the camp curiously, and asked, "What do they all do? Why do they all stay here?"

Xiao Hei explained: "These people are going to smuggle over, or are going to smuggle back! Some people are waiting for someone to come to pick them up, and some people have escaped. Neither side can go back, waiting for someone to pick them up. Take them, or give them jobs!"

Brother Kui pointed to a lot of small tents on one side, even without tents, and there was only a piece of plastic sheet on the ground and said: "There are homeless people over there. They were all driven back or escaped secretly. Many of them lost their organs. , It’s almost like waiting to die! I was cheated out of my money, and I can’t go back, no one picks them up, and I can’t get through the past, because they are useless!”

Then he pointed to some relatively formal big tents in the middle and said: "Those who paid money and waited for someone to come over there to pick them up. Many people dream of getting rich, borrowing money in the country, or gambling all their wealth, thinking that After passing, you can go to the casino to work, they were cheated! After the physical examination, there is no problem, and someone will come to pick them up in the next few days!"

Finally, pointing to where we are, he said: "We are here for rich people, and people who are responsible for smuggling and smuggling. They are either members of drug cartels, or smuggling smugglers, or they are the contacts of fraudulent groups and Contact person!"

I groaned and said, "I see. Over there are lambs that have been slaughtered, and over there are lambs waiting to be slaughtered. We are all butchers here!"

Brother Kui smiled and said, "That's probably what it means!"

I asked again: "Is the camp here allowed by the local government?"

Brother Kui hummed and said: "Forget it! They don't care! The checkpoint is three kilometers away from here, and it's their territory when they get there. There must be an intermediary to take them there, otherwise, even if they have money, they may be directly taken by them in minutes." They drove away, and it was good to drive away, I heard that many people were robbed of money and things for no reason, and were shot and killed, and everyone disappeared!"

I asked in surprise: "Are those people official?"

Brother Kui shook his head and said: "It's not counted, even if it is acquiesced, their situation is different from ours. The government and non-government armed forces fight every year. Today you are in power, and tomorrow he will be in power again. There is a similar warlord who separates himself from one side. This place is called Gomai, and he doesn’t care about it. It used to be much more chaotic than it is now. Because it is an illegal entry point, everyone knows that this place is profitable, and the fight is fierce. Several forces want to take it. This place was used as a direct smuggling channel, and many mercenaries were recruited. In the end, no one took advantage of it, and all suffered heavy casualties. The last general’s son, Kumba, took this place. A checkpoint has been established, rules have been set, and no one dares to mess with the military forces!"

I asked inexplicably: "Isn't the drug cartel very arrogant? Why didn't you confront him? Or buy him directly with money, wouldn't it be unimpeded, come here as you want, and still be angry here!"

Xiao Hei sneered and said: "Kumba represents the country, the military power, your drug cartel, or the fraud group, if you want to do business in other people's places, you have to listen to them! Qianglong really can't overwhelm Local snake! Kumba is quite reasonable, if you have enough money, you will not make things difficult for you if you follow the rules! That’s why there are so many people crossing the border here!”

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out, which startled me. Not far from our tent, a man held a gun in one hand and covered his wounded chest with the other, howling crazily: "It's okay, if you give me the money, I'll give you money." Let me go, your words don't count, I will let you all be buried with me today!"

A group of people also pointed their guns at him. A bald man touched his own bald head with one hand, and pointed at the man with the other, and said calmly, "Bury with your mother! Try shooting. Some of us are dead, and your whole family will have to die." Funeral with you! What money did you give? It was the money to redeem you, and the travel expenses? We redeemed you for nothing? You don’t need money for food and drink along the way? There are so many of us, and you are alone You don’t need money! Besides, even if I let you go now, where can you go? Go back to the country? Do you know how to get there? If you go back, you don’t even have an ID card. How do you go back? How do you pass the customs?”

As he spoke, he softened his tone and persuaded: "Brothers are all Chinese, and I am helping you too! Think about it, if I hadn't brought you back, you wouldn't have been beaten to death by them! When you passed by, I would have I told you, there is no plan to get rich, a few have passed, and you can get rich! You just don’t listen, well, we worked hard to get you over, you didn’t make any money, you want to come back Oh, did I rescue you again, I saved your life for you, in the end, you still blame me, how can there be such a reason! "

The man cried tremblingly: "I spent money on that! When I went there, I gave you 20 yuan. When I arrived at the place, I originally said that I would give you 1 yuan for one day, but they said they would pay you first." I cheated my relatives and friends of 30 yuan because of my performance, and then I started to give me a commission, which was less than 3 yuan. When I failed to cheat the money, I was beaten and I was not allowed to leave! I just found you, and I tried to find a way to ask my family for 10 yuan, and you rescued me. Now you want me to take the money out. Where can I ask for money? If you lie again, a total of 60 yuan is gone! Now my family won’t trust me anymore, what can I do? How about you guys do me a favor and help me again!”

The bald head said softly: "Put the gun down first, I think you seem to be injured! It's not that I won't help you, but you can see that so many of my brothers have to eat, we can't take the risk of taking a trip for nothing. This is the rule, there are many more people suffering than you! This is the path you choose, you can’t blame others! No one forces you, right? This is the only way to do it now. If you ask your family for money, this time I don't want more from you, I will charge you 5 yuan for a discount, and I will send you home safely!"

The man shouted hoarsely: "Where do I have money? Where can my family get money? I called people, but they didn't believe me anymore! You are trying to force me to death. Before I die, I will Take your backs!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his gun again, and the bald man was not afraid of him shooting. While persuading him, he approached him, and he stepped back step by step, backing to our side, with his back facing Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei Hei also sat with his back to him, and didn't look at him until he got closer.

Xiao Hei still didn't look back, and said flatly: "Brother, you have to dance with a knife and a gun, don't bother me!"

The man was stunned for a moment, when he heard someone talking behind him, he didn't dare to turn his head, for fear that the person in front of him would come and snatch his gun, but he was a little afraid of the person behind him, so he boldly shouted: "Get out of the way, or I will get out of the way!" The gun will kill you!"

Xiao Hei sighed and didn't plan to talk to him.

But his legs had already touched Xiao Hei's back, and the group of people who were forcing him turned to face us, all holding guns, which looked quite scary!
Brother Kui didn't know when he was behind that person. He moved so quickly that I didn't see it clearly. The gun was in his hand. The man was even more shocked, and immediately made a plan to die together with Brother Kui. wrestle together.

However, Brother Kui didn't let him touch him. With a light push, he fell to the ground. I don't know, I thought he was touching porcelain!
A group of people surrounded him all at once and arrested him.

The bald head also came over and watched us carefully.

Brother Kui handed the gun in his hand to the bald head, and said flatly: "I didn't even open the insurance!"

The bald head took the gun and looked at it, and shouted at his subordinates: "A group of idiots, I didn't see this!" Then, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to pull them away.

Afterwards, he smiled at Brother Kui, handed him a cigarette, gave out another one to each of us, and said politely, "Thank you!"

Brother Kui shook his head and said, "It's easy!" Then he asked one more question: "Is there a lot of people in this number?"

The bald head looked at us, did not answer this question, but sat down, and asked very familiarly: "Are you all from above? Why haven't I seen you? Didn't you follow my route?"

Xiao Hei didn't have any vigilance, and replied directly: "It was also arranged by your company, but it's not under your control!"

The bald head was taken aback for a moment, and he said in surprise, "I'm not in charge? Are there any customers in this line who are not in my charge?"

Xiao Hei hummed and said, "Just ask Ah Gai!"

The bald head was taken aback again, and said in disbelief: "Master Gai? Is the old man coming out to work again now?"

Xiao Hei said impatiently: "Go and ask him yourself!"

The bald head saw that we were unusual, and hurriedly nodded politely: "That's it, that's it! I dare not ask the old man, I'm not at that level! Can you ask me, why are you here this time? Business Are you still looking for someone?"

This is slang, I probably guessed what he meant, Xiao Hei ignored him!
