Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1559
We finally walked out of this jungle through thorns and thorns all the way. After passing through a valley, we walked along the creek for a while. We can already see the smoke from the cooking. This shows that there are villages nearby, which means that we have successfully arrived. in Laos.

Lao Zai, who is limping and barely able to walk, is going to explore the road ahead to see where this is?Where should we go next?
We didn't stop him, and thought it would be good for him to exercise, so we sat by the stream, ate something, and were ready to take a rest.

Siyou sat next to me and said to me in a low voice: "I see that you usually walk, breathe evenly, with your abdomen in and your chest up. Have you ever practiced before? How do you know how to breathe?"

I smiled and replied, "I have practiced yoga and Pilates. I don't know if this counts as practice?"

Shiyou asked with some doubts: "I know yoga, but what is Pilates?"

I sighed, thought for a long time, recalled how the teacher explained to me at that time, and then explained: "Actually, it is similar to yoga, except that breathing is the opposite. Yoga has more static movements, and Pilates has more dynamic movements! "

Shiyou snorted and said: "No wonder! Looking at it this way, your foundation is really good! Last time, I told you to practice martial arts with me, what do you think?"

I hurriedly said: "I wish I could! How about I worship you as my teacher?"

Shiyou hurriedly waved his hands and said, "That's impossible! It's okay, let's meditate together, and I will teach you some mental methods, which can control your body's metabolism!"

I was surprised and said, "You can control it through meditation? Doesn't that mean that when I want to gain weight, I speed up my body's metabolism to keep myself hungry; when I want to lose weight, I just slow down my metabolism so that I can quickly consume my body?" energy, don’t let yourself be hungry!”

Shiyou hummed and said: "Probably that's what it means! Practicing my mental method is actually not that magical. To put it bluntly, it is to master the functions of your body as much as possible, and learn to control every part of your body. To control the external, you must also control the internal! The method of control is also very simple, that is, through breathing and body thoughts, practice for a long time, let you get used to it, and become your instinct, you can make rapid progress and learn everything handy ! Those so-called punching techniques and fighting techniques are all external, and these are very simple!"

If I hadn't seen Shiyou's ability with my own eyes, and he told me these things, I would definitely think he is a liar!

Shiyou taught me a way of thinking, so I started to sit in place with him and meditate, keep my mind calm and not think about anything, because I am a beginner, and it is difficult for me to be like Shiyou, so that I can focus on everything anytime, anywhere. You can practice, he is practicing walking, and it is difficult for me to calm down immediately. However, according to the method he taught me, I feel that I have benefited a lot. At least I am not hungry or tired.

Lao Zai came back and said: "There is a village in front of you, Ewa Village. They are only 0 kilometers away from Vientiane. We only need to walk another 2 kilometers to get out of the small road and take a car on the main road. There are 4 people every day. The shuttle bus can go to Vientiane!"

I shook my head and said, "We can't go directly to Vientiane for the time being, but first find a way to get an identity card and passport, so that we can walk on the street openly! Then we can make plans!"

Lao Zai asked, "Then where shall we go?"

I thought for a while and said, "Go get the money first, and then go to the embassy to apply for a passport!"

Laozi, Nangong immediately showed a look of embarrassment, and I hurriedly said: "Or just find a place and make a fake first, do you have any connections in this regard?"

Lao Zai nodded and said, "I can contact the family members to see if they can help?"

I hesitated and asked, "Can you believe it?"

Nangong resolutely said: "You can trust me, I still have a few tribesmen who can trust me! Besides, now that Guangdi is dead, they will listen to me!"

I was still not sure: "Won't the people below them betray you? What if they were recruited by Mr. Du long ago?"

Nangong shook his head and said: "No! They don't usually show up in the family, they only contact me, I arrange them by their side, and they usually provide me with information, so I know Guangdi and their movements You are in the village ahead, wait for us, we will be back soon!"

I hummed and said: "Then you all be careful, don't get into any conflicts with others, and if you find something wrong, come back quickly, don't bother with them, and think about cleaning up the house, when we all recover, It’s not too late to deal with them slowly!”

Nangong looked at me suspiciously and asked: "You seem very sure that they have betrayed me? I said, no way!"

I said oh: "I just remind you to be careful, what if?"

Nangong said resolutely: "There will be no accidents!" After speaking, he took Laozai away angrily.

Seeing my worried look, Xiao Hei asked, "Do you think her people will betray her?"

I nodded and said, "Who is right? After we have gone through so many things, can you tell who is the person we can trust? Only our family members who have experienced life and death together! Others Man, I can't trust anyone!"

Xiao Hei thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go and have a look?"

I hummed and said, "That's fine, I'm also relieved! They stay in the barracks all day, how much do they know about the dangers of the outside world? Killing is powerful, but she can guess people's hearts, she is not as good as us!"

The three of them left, and the four of us entered the village. We were cautious at first, until we saw the children running in the fields, the farmers working underground, and the humble houses full of vitality, and we felt relieved. .

When we saw strangers in the village, we were not very afraid. We should have seen them a lot. No one greeted us, and no one came up to ask us anything, so we just walked around by ourselves.

We walked to a house that looked like a B&B, and I went up to a teenager sitting smoking at the door: "Is it possible to stay here?"

He didn’t understand English, so he looked at me curiously, and I said it again in Chinese, but he still didn’t understand, and then suddenly ran into the house, I thought I’d frightened him, so I shook my head and prepared to leave.

A beautiful young woman came out and asked me in English, "Do you want to stay?"

I nodded.

She asked again: "What are you doing here?" Then she looked curiously at Guan Ze, who had a wound on his face.

I hastily explained: "We came here for an adventure. We met a wolf on the mountain, so we escaped out of danger. Now we are here waiting for my friend to pick us up. We just want to settle down in this village and find a place to live. Come down, I don’t think other places are suitable, we three big men live here, your place looks relatively big, like a homestay, so I just want to ask..."

The beauty smiled and said: "This is my home, not a B&B. There is no B&B in our village that provides accommodation, but I think you are from China, right?"

I hurriedly said in Mandarin: "Are you too?"

This suddenly shortened the distance between each other, the beauty smiled and said: "Yeah, I think you are like Chinese people, why did you come to this place? This is not a tourist area, it is 40 miles away from Vientiane How many kilometers! We are only 20 kilometers away from the county! Since we are all Chinese, if you don’t mind, come and stay at my house for one night!”

I hurriedly thanked: "Thank you so much, you can just charge according to the normal fee!"

The beauty waved her hand and said: "That's unnecessary!" Then she asked with some hesitation: "You are not bad people, are you? I know that many people who come here are for drug trafficking. If so, please look at us For the sake of the people of the country, let's go!"

I hastily waved my hand and said, "How could we be drug dealers? Don't worry, we are law-abiding citizens. We came here to travel and take risks. We don't want to take the route designed by the tour group. We just got separated from the tour group!"

Only then did the beauty let us in, and the young man sat in a corner of the hall, saw the three of us coming in, and hurriedly hid inside.

I looked at the beauty in puzzlement, she smiled and said: "My name is Wanqing, and that is my younger brother's name is Wanru. Our siblings and his father came here to live together!"

I groaned, observed the environment inside again, and asked, "What about your father?"

Wanqing replied flatly, "He's dead!"

I hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know..."

Wanqing shook her head and said: "It's okay, it's been a few years, we're all used to it, I'll make you something to eat, I think you're hungry too!"

I nodded my thanks.

After she left, we were sitting in the hall, Yaoyang asked very curiously: "Do you think they are a little weird?"

I asked inexplicably: "What's so weird? Aren't they very friendly?"

Yaoyang said in a low voice: "It's just the two of them, living in a strange place here, her father is dead, why don't they go back to China? What do they live on? The decoration here is so good, it's simply out of place with this village Ah, look at the houses of those villagers, all of them are so simple, how can they have such a nice house here as a foreigner? And her younger brother, who is crazy, reveals something weird here!"

I gave him a blank look and said, "It's great if they can take us in. Don't worry about it! Just be honest!"

Yaoyang let out a sigh and said: "That's right, a little girl like her will never pose any threat to us four elders, right?"

Shiyou saw a blueprint hanging on the wall, pointed to it and said, "We are 40 kilometers north to Vientiane, 30 kilometers west to Luang Prabang, and we can go to XSBN through the Mekong River. How do you plan to go? Yes Going north to Vientiane, do you want to find Mr. Du? Or go west directly into Luang Prabang?"

I also walked over, looked at the map, and suddenly thought of the place name I saw in Mr. Du's bedroom, and asked, "Why didn't I see the name of Alcatraz? You can look it up on the map!" "

The four of them looked at the map together and searched for it, but there was no such place name at all.

I said with some disappointment: "It is probably a small island, which is not shown on the map at all! Let's not waste our time. When they come back, let's go directly to Luang Prabang, and then find a way to return home!"

Wanqing came out carrying a tray with four bowls of noodles, and warmly invited us to sit down and eat noodles.

Yaoyang was very hungry, looking at the hot noodles, he moved his index finger, and started to move without even saying thank you.

Seeing that the three of us didn't move, Wanqing asked puzzledly, "Aren't you hungry? You still don't like noodles?"

She didn't ask, but I wanted to eat something too. When she asked, I became suspicious, but on the surface I just replied: "I just ate something, I want to ask you something?"

Wanqing hummed and said, "Say it!"

I pointed to the map on the wall and asked, "Do you know the place called Alcatraz?"

Wanqing was obviously taken aback, and then replied calmly, "I don't know, I've never heard of it!"

I asked again: "alcatraz, that should be its English name!"

Wanqing looked at me puzzled and asked, "Where are you going? How do you know there is such a place?"

I replied casually: "I just heard from a friend that I don't know what the place is and where it is? Why isn't it on the map? Could it be named by myself?"

Wanqing smiled and said: "Who knows, eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold!"

Shiyou saw that I didn't move, and he didn't eat. Guan Ze originally wanted to move his chopsticks, but after looking at the two of us, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and put down his chopsticks.

This made Wanqing a little ugly, only Yaoyang kept praising after eating a bowl: "It's delicious!"

After finishing speaking, he took my bowl and said shamelessly: "If you are not hungry, then I will eat!"

Wanqing hurriedly said: "There's still some in the pot, I'll fill it for you!"

Yaoyang smiled foolishly: "Thank you so much!"

Watching Wanqing enter the kitchen, Shiyou asked me, "Is there something wrong with these noodles?"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know, but this girl must have some kind of secret hidden in her heart, and she must be on guard!"

Yaoyang hurriedly choked his throat, and cursed at the same time: "If you know that there is a problem, why don't you tell me! You are not a thing, are you? Just watch me die like this!"

Guan Ze smiled and said, "Take you as an experiment!"

Wanqing handed it to Yaoyang for another night, then looked at us with some displeasure and asked, "You don't think I did something wrong with the noodles, do you?"

I said with some embarrassment: "How could it be? It's just that I'm really not hungry!"

Wanqing snorted, poured the remaining three bowls of noodles into the bucket, turned around and left!

I suddenly remembered that Wanqing looked like a person, but I couldn't remember who it was. The moment she turned around, I remembered, and stopped her and said, "Wait a minute! Guangdi is dead, do you know?" ?”

Wanqing shuddered, but immediately regained her composure and said, "What are you talking about? Who is Guangdi? What does it matter to me whether he dies or not?"
