Chapter 582 She is the bride

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the ground from the tall and dense branches and leaves. Zhao Jianhui and others abandoned their cars and walked for about two hours.Although the speed is not very fast on the path between the jungles, it is estimated that the slowest has already traveled more than ten kilometers.At the foot of the mountain in the distance, you can already see several rows of very simple bamboo huts built at the foot of the mountain. This is the so-called modern military base of Kunchai.

In the distance are continuous mountains and a dense jungle that can't be seen at a glance. Even near the base, there are a large number of trees and plants growing crazily, and there is a lush green everywhere.Several rows of bamboo huts are training grounds that can accommodate nearly a thousand people. At the four corners stand watchtowers that look like stilt buildings, and radar antennas are installed on several commanding heights.

On the huge playground, hundreds of "soldiers" wearing various camouflage hats and color-changing jungle camouflage uniforms and holding guns are shouting slogans and practicing hard under the leadership of the leader.Zhao Jianhui took a few glances with a professional eye and concluded that this was a patchwork mob. It can be seen from a few simple tactical actions that these people seldom have any strong professional qualities.

In addition, there are a few airborne combat vehicles and light tanks parked on the side of the playground. Looking at the rusty appearance on them, I don’t know when they were captured by the government army. It is estimated that there is a lack of fuel or no one can drive them. See It looked like it hadn't touched the nest for a long time.

An Wenna's husband, Bancha, seems to be having a good time here, and people kept saying hello along the way.Zhao Jianhui and others walked in behind his stretcher, but no one came to ask these people what they were doing.

Turning around the rows of bamboo buildings in front, what surprised Zhao Jianhui and others was that five or six small brick and tile buildings were faintly hidden among the green trees behind.This place is like a small modern city surrounded by thick jungle. The suburbs of the city are densely covered with forests, and the saplings of ancient trees grow intertwined. The green leaves cover the sky, shining green light, like a green ocean.The houses in the urban area are European-style and Amazon-style wooden structures complement each other, and the rhyme is strong and beautiful.The streets are wide and tidy, and there are many flowers in front of and behind the houses.

Although those buildings are relatively old, they still look very dazzling, as if these things should not appear here at all.

Of course, there are also slums not far away, with messy graffiti sprayed on the dirty walls, dilapidated and old low-rise bungalows built with red bricks, and some barefoot children even It was the noisy fight in the middle of the road, and they had a great time.

Carefully searching the memory, Zhao Jianhui suddenly understood that these houses must have been built during the British rule. It is very likely that this place was originally a drug processing factory, but it was occupied by Kunchai and used for waste. .

Finally, I walked into the front of those buildings that looked pretty. The security at the entrance of this place was relatively strict, and the "soldiers" in camouflage had a serious atmosphere, and they were all armed with live ammunition.There were sandbags piled up at the gate of the compound, and the barbed wire was pulled. Seeing a group of people approaching, a guy with a gun took a few steps forward, and stretched out his hand to stop Da Liu and Ma Hongchen who were carrying a stretcher in front of them.

A guy who was pointing the way beside the stretcher walked up and whispered to the man.With a wave of her hand, she beckoned her companion to come and take the stretcher, and carried Bancha to the inside.

The man with the gun came over and bent over An Wenna, and led her, Zhao Jianhui and others into a place similar to a guest house. The rooms here are in good condition, clean and tidy, and well-decorated. It is in place, with a bathroom and toilet, and a TV in the room.Zhao Jianhui opened it and looked, but found that he could only receive four channels. The person gave him a helpless expression and told him, "Stay in the room and don't move around. Someone will take you to dinner later."

After the guy left, Tu Xiong put his face on the window and looked out, lowered his voice and said, "Are we really going to attend that Kunchai's wedding? Aren't you looking for some poisonous butterfly? Wasting time here?"

Zhao Jianhui said: "It's going to be dark soon, it's not like you don't know the dangers in the jungle, we don't care, and there is a little sky who doesn't understand anything? Besides, where do you go to catch it in the middle of the night? Butterflies? It’s not bad if you can come in today, but if you want to catch butterflies, you have to talk about it tomorrow during the day.”

It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that An Wenna walked in with a strange man.This person looked about 45 or [-] years old, with a straight back when he stood there, wearing a pair of glasses, and staring at Zhao Jianhui, Tu Xiong and others with piercing eyes. "Brother Zhao, this is Colonel Bonzo sent by General Kunchai. He is in charge of everything you do here. Tomorrow Colonel Bonzo will take you to purchase goods until you are sent out." An Wenna pointed This person introduced to Zhao Jianhui.

"Hello, Colonel Bonzo, I will trouble you." Zhao Jianhui smiled and stretched out his hand.The man said coldly: "You're welcome, I'm here for money. Please restrain your subordinates and don't run around here. Military control is implemented here. If there is any misunderstanding, it will be very dangerous. Now please follow me Come on, the general's wedding banquet is about to begin."

Zhao Jianhui nodded with a smile, hinted to Tu Xiong, and Tu Xiong took out a red envelope from his body and stuffed it into Bangzuo's hand.Bonzo squeezed it with his hand, then nodded and smiled: "It seems that you are a sensible person. If you want me to help you, if you need any conditions, I will try my best to do it. There is no free lunch in the world. You are on the road."

After greeting Sun Liyun and others in other rooms, everyone followed Bangzuo to the red house in the center.Along the way, Tu Xiong and Zhao Jianhui secretly observed the terrain, but Guo Tao walked at the back, and they shook their heads with An Wenna and didn't know what they were talking about.

Soon, everyone walked into the red building in front. The leader, Bonzo, turned to the left and opened a door, and he heard the voices of people inside.

This hall might have been a church originally, the windows above and below the circle were two or three meters high, and some mythical reliefs of the Christian church were engraved around the walls.But there is no longer the holy image of Jesus and the cross. From the door to the front of the high platform, there are four rows of long tables. The front high platform is covered with a deep red carpet and surrounded by flowers.

The surroundings of the long table were already crowded with crowded people. At a glance, there must be at least one or two hundred people.Everyone was chatting excitedly, the voice was so noisy that it was almost impossible to hear what the person two or three meters away was saying.

According to the traditional customs in Myanmar, both parties have to go through a long period of "mutual understanding" before getting married.If a young man wants to marry a certain girl, he will tell his parents what he is thinking, and then the man will send someone to the woman's house to propose marriage.If the woman's parents do not object to the marriage, the young people will live together.

But this does not mean the beginning of married life, just "knowledge stage."Two, three years later, if both young men and women find that the other party's original intention has not changed, they will consider marriage.

Before holding the wedding, please ask the fortune teller to choose a good day and auspicious day to determine the wedding date.According to tradition, a highly respected person should be invited to be the "gifter" at the wedding.All the activities of the wedding are carried out under the auspices of the priest.Firstly, the chanting ceremony is held. The priest invites the bride and groom to appear on the stage under the accompaniment of warm and cheerful music.

After the chanting ceremony, the priest began to praise the kindness of the parents of the bride and groom, and the bride and groom accepted the blessings of their parents.After the blessing is over, the priest will introduce the bride and groom and the family situation of both parties.Then, the priest puts the right hand of the groom on the right hand of the bride, or puts the right hands of the bride and groom into a silver basin containing perfume, so that the right hands of the groom and the bride are connected together in the water, and bless the bride and groom As fragrant as flowers, as cool as water.

Then the priest pours clean holy water on the bride and groom.Finally, the guests delivered congratulatory speeches, and the priest announced the end of the wedding ceremony.At this time, the drums were playing loudly, and the guests enjoyed the wonderful performance while tasting delicious food, and the whole wedding hall was full of joyful atmosphere.

Kunchai is 58 years old this year, and this is the 18th time No. has been married.However, the wedding ceremony was still very lively, and it was in accordance with the rules.

Zhao Jianhui and the others found a corner inside and sat down. Not long after, someone who served as a priest announced the beginning of the wedding.The 200 people in the hall fell silent for a moment, and most of them lowered their heads and silently recited scriptures with the priest.Zhao Jianhui and the others also imitated others and put their hands together in front of their chests. They really didn't know what to say, so they kept muttering.

When the chanting ceremony was over, the bride and groom in red wedding dresses stood up from the ground, smiled and turned to face the audience.

Seeing the appearance of the bride, Zhao Jianhui couldn't help being taken aback. No matter how she looked, she looked like the Nong Lan he had dealt with before.No matter how you look at it, the nose, eyes and eyebrows look like a person.Although the bride also had a smile on her face, with Zhao Jianhui's sensitivity, she could still find that her eyes were a bit empty and dull.

Neither of these two people had parents or elders to attend the wedding, so the set of rituals in which the priests praised their parents' merits and virtues was omitted, but this item was skipped and directly entered the next sequence.

Two girls in long pink dresses brought up a large silver basin, and the priest was already standing between the bride and groom, holding one hand of the bride and groom with both hands, and was about to put their hands together. Put it in a silver basin.

At this moment, one of the guests sitting in the middle row yelled loudly, followed by a gunshot. Kunchai on the stage let out an "ah" and fell down with his hands on his chest.

Yesterday's flowers were miserable, everyone, let's push them up vigorously, they were blown up, woo woo...
