rebirth of change

Chen Kangjie didn't say that, Xiong Ziqiang's face was a little better, but when he said that, Xiong Ziqiang felt even more embarrassing.

"You said this is the territory of Afghanistan? Then how far is it from the border of Pakistan?" After joking with Xiong Ziqiang, Chen Kangjie got serious and asked Jahril.

"Well, this is Afghanistan. How far is it from the border? I don't know exactly. If you go straight to the east, it's about [-] kilometers away, but the east is full of mountains and it's hard to climb over. , There is no decent road to Nali, a small border town, and it is not easy to use a carriage, so you can only walk or ride a horse." Jaliel replied.

"I have experienced the traffic here, but no matter how bad it is, how come there are no roads in the border cities?" Chen Kangjie said.

"It's not that there are no roads. There used to be roads. It's just that they were completely damaged during the years of war, and normal vehicle traffic cannot be guaranteed." Jahril calmed down after being comforted by Chen Kangjie's amicable expression, and his tension and fear faded away. Quite a lot, as long as he doesn't directly look at Xiong Ziqiang.

"Oh, so that's the case. By the way, tell me, how can you speak Chinese? In Afghanistan, it can be said that there are very few." Chen Kangjie suddenly thought of this curious point.

In this barren landlocked country, not only is the economy backward, but the level of cultural development and education is also relatively low in the world. Not to mention higher education, even the popularity of basic education is quite low.Even though they have a narrow border with China, the personnel exchanges between the two countries are rare due to economic, political and cultural factors.But a young man who can speak Chinese suddenly appeared, which made Chen Kangjie puzzled and full of curiosity.

"I can speak Chinese... This is also due to your influence." Jaliel's answer made Chen Kangjie even more surprised.

"My influence? How is this possible? Is there a teacher here who teaches Chinese? You don't look like a college student. Besides, Afghanistan controls entertainment so strictly. How can I influence you? What about it? Young man, if you think that getting close to me can save you, then you may make a big mistake." Chen Kangjie was extremely suspicious of Jaleel's words, so he added some threats at the end.

"I didn't lie, I didn't lie..." Jahril hurriedly defended, "What I said is true, I knew you seven years ago, before you participated in the Olympic Games. Seven years ago, Afghanistan It’s not yet a theologian who is in power, because of family relations, I can get in touch with outside news. Moreover, and, I have also been to your country, and I have lived there for more than a year.”

"Huh? You have been to China, and you have stayed there for more than a year?" Chen Kangjie became even more curious, "You, how did you get there?" Chen Kangjie gestured up and down Jaliel's body with his right hand , Although he didn't say it clearly, what he meant was that you look like you, and you look quite rustic, with a gray cloth wrapped around your head. How do you look like someone who has been abroad?

"I went with my father. At that time, he was a diplomat and worked in the embassy in China." Speaking of this, Jahril was a little depressed, his eyes were still slightly red, as if he remembered something wrong happy thing.

If Jahril's father was really a diplomat and had worked in Beijing, then it's not surprising that Jahril, who has lived with him for more than a year, can speak Chinese.Although his Chinese is not clear and fluent, at least the meaning can be understood.

"Then your father is a diplomat, why did you become like this?" Chen Kangjie asked.

In common sense, the children of diplomats should live a relatively superior life, and their education level is generally not low, so they will have a more dignified status in the eyes of the world.But now Jahril is young, but he doesn't see much vitality in him.He was dressed in a gray leather robe, and the gray cloth strips wrapped around his head looked like they were about to change color, so he was not much different from a herdsman.The gun lying on the ground not far away seems to be telling about his unequal identity.

"My father is no longer a diplomat...he is dead. Ever since theological students came to power and ruled the country, they have adopted extreme means of centralization. Not only are they strictly blocking the spread of various external cultures and information, but Many officials left behind by the regime are also wantonly excluded and persecuted. My father is one of them, and the reason is that my father does not grow a beard." Jalil said with embarrassment.

"Ah? Not growing a beard is also a crime?" Xiong Ziqiang felt incredible.

"After the theologian came to power, the religious rule was very strict. Movies and television were banned, and entertainment activities were strictly controlled; men were required to grow beards, women were required to cover their faces, and women were not allowed to receive education and employment. All violators would be severely punished. And my father had developed the habit of shaving before that..." At this point, Jahril was choked up and couldn't continue.

"Damn it, there are such inhumane regulations? And the citizens support it, what the hell is it?" Xiong Ziqiang complained about what happened to Jaleel's father.

"Here, it doesn't seem to be such a rare thing. Their regime doesn't allow idol worship yet." The reborn Chen Kangjie said without surprise.

The reason why Chen Kangjie said this is not to say that this is correct to prevent the people from worshiping him, but because of an event that was once world-renowned.

In a cliff more than 200 kilometers northwest of the capital of Afghanistan, there are two giant Buddha statues dug into the mountains. They are the third tallest Buddha statues in the world. One was dug in the 5th century and is 53 meters high. One is chiseled in the 1st century, it is 37 meters high, and it is dressed in a blue cassock, commonly known as "Eastern Buddha".The two giant Buddhas are 400 meters apart, and they are very eye-catching from a distance.The Buddha's face and hands are painted in gold.There are dark holes on both sides of the two Buddha statues, the holes are tens of meters high, and you can climb up the steps to reach the top of the Buddha. More than a hundred people can stand on the upper platform.Faxian and Xuanzang, two eminent monks in ancient China, both visited there to pay their respects.

These two Buddha statues are listed as World Cultural Heritage by the United Nations due to their historical value and cultural value.It is these two Buddha statues, because they do not belong to the category of Islam, the theologians also said that they were idol worship and ordered to destroy them.To their decision, UNESCO and many non-governmental organizations around the world expressed their opposition.But the theologian still insisted on going his own way, ignoring the opposing voices, and brutally destroyed it with explosives and tank fire. Moreover, because the Buddha statue was too big and embedded in the mountain, the artillery fire lasted for a month to achieve its goal.

Of course, these two Buddha statues are still there.It's just that I don't know when I will be there or not.

"Then they don't allow idol worship, isn't it because you don't have much popularity here." Xiong Zi emphasized.

"Who said that, there is a ready-made one here." Chen Kangjie pointed to Jaliel.

"Jie Shao, we've packed up over there, should we leave quickly? If it's late, Dong Mingshu and the others should be in a hurry, and it's not safe for us to delay here." Tan Jun and Samidov followed, Tan Jun said.

When Tan Jun was talking, he and Samidov were looking at Xiong Ziqiang with expressive expressions.

"You see, I'm useless. It's up to Master Jie to make a decision. I've said everything I need to say. No, there's another one who can speak Chinese." Xiong Ziqiang shrugged and said angrily.

Tan Jun and Samidov were as stunned as Chen Kangjie and Xiong Ziqiang.

"Can speak Chinese, then shall we..."

Chen Kangjie blocked Samidov with his hand, continued to look at Jahril, and asked solemnly, "Tell me, what kind of weapons are you armed with, and where are you going to escort these things?"

"They are all theologian warriors. We escort these things to the Haruni post in front, which is the highest guard post set up by the theologian regime after it captured Nuristan," Jahril didn't say. To talk about oneself, only to talk about other people, is to extract oneself completely.

"They are theologian warriors, aren't you?" Xiong Ziqiang asked.

"I...me too...but I'm different from them. I joined in order to survive. They have a sworn feud with me, and I'm not at all with them. It's also because I have a bit of culture that they let me I'll be a squad leader," Jahril defended himself.

Regardless of whether Jahril defended himself because he was afraid of death or the story he told was true, it was impossible for Chen Kangjie to silence him for the time being.They need a guide and translator here.Besides, if the story Jahril told was true, the hatred buried in his heart would indeed make him less likely to blend in with the theologian.

"We need a guide and an interpreter now, are you willing to do it?" Chen Kangjie asked directly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Jaliel nodded hurriedly.

"He stays, and you take care of the others." Chen Kangjie pointed at Jaliel and said cruelly.

Since those people are theologian warriors, it is dispensable.Chen Kangjie didn't have a deep hatred for the Theologian Organization, but deep down, he really didn't like them.Besides, those people were injured to a certain extent. Since they cannot be taken away as wounded, it is really the best choice to dispose of them.

Next, Xiong Ziqiang and the others were quick to deal with the wounded.Jahril shrunk his neck when he saw it, he was shocked by the methods of these people.

After taking care of the captives, Chen Kangjie and the others drove back in two carriages, while Dong Mingshu and the others were still waiting for them to meet them.On the road, Jalil, who was walking with Chen Kangjie and was questioned by Chen Kangjie from time to time, made a suggestion to Chen Kangjie. He suggested that Chen Kangjie and the others should capture the Haruni post.
