Chapter 129 Gumai Village

When it was time for departure, we drove an off-road vehicle and arrived at the meeting point mentioned by Jiang Qing. We saw a bus with the logo of the Red Cross parked beside the road.

"Mr. Zhang, here!" Jiang Qing stood beside the bus and waved to us.

A group of blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners stood chatting aside, many of them were wearing white coats and carrying medicine boxes.

The team leader was a bearded foreigner named Hans, who could speak a few simple Chinese words. After a few words of greeting, he went to distribute supplies.

"The hospital here in Qingyuan has a lot of staff this time. Can I take your car later?" Jiang Qing walked over and said.

"No problem, Doctor Jiang, bring your luggage first." I readily agreed.

It seemed busy there for a quarter of an hour, and the foreigners below began to get on the bus one after another, followed by a team of black and thin local doctors.

We drove behind the bus and headed towards Gumai Village. When we left the city limits, the road became bumpy.

"Nanyang monkeys are just superficial, and the countryside is poorer than our mountainous areas." Lang Xingsong sat behind and muttered.

"I heard that Gumai Village is the poorest village nearby, and the surrounding environment is not very good." Jiang Qing chatted casually.

The road was bumpy, and after driving for about half an hour, the bus ahead stopped.

"Why did you stop? There is no village nearby?" Lang Ying was a little puzzled.

"I'll go down and ask." Jiang Qing opened the car door and walked towards the bus.

On the bus, some foreigners got off one after another, with bags and luggage on their backs, and stood on the side of the road to gather.

Jiang Qing walked over to talk a few words, frowned slightly, and walked this way.

"I asked Hans just now, and he said that the guide here said that Gumai Village is in the mountains and forests, and we need to walk a certain distance to get there." Jiang Qing said helplessly.

I opened the car door, got down and stood aside, looking forward, there was a tropical rainforest, and the neighborhood was relatively desolate.

"There may be insects and snakes in the forest, I'll go get some ointment." Jiang Qing said, and was about to walk to the bus.

"No need, we brought our own ointment." I took out a small box, opened the lid, and dabbed a little on my wrists and calves.

Under the leadership of the guide, we walked through the dark and dark forest. The soil on the ground was somewhat damp and covered with a thick layer of rotting leaves.

There is a flower mosquito in the rain forest, which is very poisonous. After being bitten, several foreigners' faces were red and swollen.

Fortunately, Zhen Qingyi's ointment is very miraculous, and our group has hardly been harassed by that kind of mosquitoes.

The group of foreigners in front complained grumblingly, and after spraying mosquito repellent, they finally solved the problem of flower mosquitoes.

"Oh, you sell Karma." There was an exclamation from the front, and the group of foreigners huddled together was a little commotion.

"What's going on?" I stopped in my tracks and looked at the group of panicked foreigners in front of me with some puzzlement.

The black and thin local guide, nimble as a monkey, squeezed into the crowd. Not long after, he carried a snake more than one meter long and nailed it to a tree with an iron rod.

The snake was colorful and seemed to be quite poisonous. Fortunately, the group of foreigners were only frightened and no one was bitten by the snake.

A group of local doctors in Qingyuan looked familiar, and they were used to the insects and snakes in the mountains and forests.

"It's getting dark, there will be more insects and snakes, everyone be careful." I looked at the sky and turned to remind.

With a local guide leading the way, we arrived at Gumai Village without any danger along the way.

The small village in front of me was so poor that I couldn't even see a decent brick house.

A group of ragged children, as thin as matchsticks, stood at the intersection and looked at us curiously.

"I've been to Africa once, and I didn't expect the villagers here to be so poor and backward." Jiang Qing felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't look at them pitifully, these Nanyang monkeys are very barbaric." Lang Xingsong's prejudice against Nanyang people is deeply rooted.

The village head here is a little old man in his 50s, with wrinkles on his face like dried orange peels, and he warmly received us.

No matter what the group of foreign doctors said or the little old man's birdsong, we couldn't understand a word, and we just followed the crowd with the crowd.

"What is the colorful room over there for?" Lang Ying pointed curiously.

A house made of wood, painted with colorful paint, stands alone at the head of the village, with the door tightly closed.

"That's Da Azan's house, outsiders can't come near it." A little girl who looked like bean sprouts answered the words from the side.

"You can speak Chinese?" I looked at the black and thin girl curiously. If I remember correctly, she is one of the children in Gumai Village.

"My mother is Chinese, but she is dead." The little girl lowered her head, her tone a little sad.

"What's your name?" Lang Ying took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to the little girl.

"My name is Asu, the big Azan is scary, please stay away from that room." The little girl took the chocolate and carefully put it in her pocket.

"Azan on the Nanyang side is equivalent to Buddhist believers on our side. Only those with magical powers can be called Azan." Lang Ying explained from the side.

Just as he was talking, the door of the colorful room opened, and a bald man with a dark appearance and a medium build came out.

The bald man held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and was wearing a black robe. He glanced at us and sang a string of birdsong.

"What is that bald man talking about?" Lang Xingsong said with disdain.

"Big Azan said that some of you outsiders will bring the source of the disease and bring disaster to the village." A trace of fear flashed in Asu's eyes, and he lowered his voice and said.

"Fucking shit." Lang Xingsong had a fiery temper, with his eyes crossed, he was ready to go over to find trouble with that big Azan.

"Uncle, don't act rashly, first find out the opponent's purpose." Lang Ying held the uncle, and looked at Azan with some doubts.

I frowned, staring at Azan who was chattering and continuing to speak the birdsong, guessing in my heart whether the evil monk Puzan had discovered us.

The unremarkable big Azan has a high prestige among the villagers. After he finished speaking, the surrounding villagers immediately showed panic expressions and moved away from us.

"What is this, Azan? Why are you so unreasonable? We are obviously doctors who came to help the villagers detect the epidemic. How can he talk nonsense?" Jiang Qing blushed with anger, losing his usual gentleness and composure.

"I believe you, my mother said when she was alive that Da Azan is a bad person." After Ah Su finished speaking, she hid behind Lang Ying.

The group of foreigners in front, before they figured out what happened, spread their hands and looked at the villagers inexplicably, with innocent faces.

The bearded Hans, the team leader, looked angry after listening to the guide's explanation. He pulled the thin village head and questioned him with spit.

Da Azan, with a dark complexion, glanced at us arrogantly, turned and walked into the room, and closed the door tightly with a "bang".

"His grandma has a leg, I want to see how arrogant that bald head is." Lang Xingsong rolled up his sleeves and strode forward.

"Uncle, have you forgotten our main purpose?" Lang Ying looked helpless, and rushed to grab the uncle's arm.

"Brother Zhang, do you think that Azan found us?" Mr. Lai walked over and asked in a low voice.

"It doesn't look like it. I have carefully observed his eyes. When his eyes glanced over, he didn't stay on us. He stayed more." I thought for a moment and shook my head slowly.

"Then he's targeting the entire medical team." Mr. Lai muttered to himself.

When we met for the first time, there was an unpleasant incident. The foreigners of the medical team ignored the accompanying smile of the village chief Xiao Yi, angrily walked to the side of the open space and set up a canvas tent.

The team leader Hans came over, chattered, and said a string of birdsong to Jiang Qing, then shrugged at us, made a depressed expression, turned and left.

"What did the bearded man say?" Long Xingsong, a big bastard, in this foreign country, no matter who he listened to, it was as if he was listening to a scripture.

"Hans said, since the villagers are not very cooperative, let me start by testing the water source." Jiang Qingxiu frowned slightly.

"You guys are just tossing around, don't care what the group of Nanyang monkeys are doing, they deserve what they deserve." Lang Xingsong muttered.

"Uncle, that's called humanitarian assistance." Lang Ying looked embarrassed.

"It's getting late, let's go and set up the tent." I put down the luggage on my back, hugged the telescopic bracket, and walked to the open space.

"Doctor Jiang, share a tent with me." Lang Ying invited from the side.

I walked a few steps, and felt that someone was following me. I turned around suddenly and found that the little girl named Asu was following me closely like a little tail.

"Asu, it's getting dark, don't you need to go home?" I asked a little strangely.

"I won't go back. Daddy is a drunkard. Every time he gets drunk, he beats me." Asu shook his head in horror.

"Why did your mother marry here?" I opened the bracket and chatted with Asu.

"I don't know, my mother didn't tell me." Every time Asu mentioned her mother, a trace of sadness would flash across Asu's face.

"A Su, do my brother a favor, go and bring the canvas over there." Seeing the little girl looking like she was about to cry, I quickly changed the subject.

Asu ran over obediently, and hugged the canvas next to the luggage.

"You don't want to go home, can you live in a tent with your sister over there at night?" I put the canvas on the shelf and fixed it with a tie.

"Okay." Asu nodded happily, but soon, the smile on his face disappeared again, and a trace of sadness flashed, "Father will catch me back and beat me."

"Don't be afraid, little Asu, we will protect you." I looked at the half-breed boy in front of me, feeling a little panicked.

Mr. Lai set up a pot at the side and started to prepare dinner. In fact, it was some instant food, and it didn't need to be too troublesome, just heat it up.

On the way, Hans, the team leader, ran over and invited us to have dinner, but we politely declined.
