My beautiful boss and I

According to Lao Qin, the surviving educated youth later went through many life and death tribulations: War, poverty, disease, drugs, marriage and family. Two of them died one after another, and the last female educated youth survived tenaciously. She is no longer keen on the surging slogans of Jiqing, and no longer credulous to the flashing language, but quietly rooted in the remote and poor foreign land, and became a cottage female teacher who nurtured the soul of her children. Later, she wrote her own experience into a novel and became famous in Taiwan.

This story makes my heart beat. Lao Qin told me that its educational significance lies in the fact that suffering is a cushion, just like a flower watered by blood and the brilliance torn by life.

I can't help but quietly worship the surviving heroine and regard her as my idol. It's just, I don't even know her name.

After walking for a long time, the innkeeper suddenly stopped and made a gesture.

Everyone stopped.

The innkeeper began to listen, and the others looked around.

In the dawn of the morning, I vaguely see a boundary pillar beside, which is written with two big red characters: China.

There seems to be no barbed wire in front. I've seen the border between China, Russia, China, Kazakhstan and North Korea. They all have barbed wire, but they don't have it here.

I know. It's at the border. The more I go, the more I go abroad.

Although I have a passport, I will go abroad without a visa.

This is the second time for me to go abroad illegally. The first time I visited casinos with Li Shun. This time I visited the Shan State revolutionary army and inspected the army as deputy commander in chief.

Looking at their careful observation, I suddenly felt a little scared. I felt that my action was very risky. If I was caught by the armed police on border patrol at this time, I would be finished. What does it mean that a national public official wants to cross the border illegally? This means that our country's attempt to become a traitor will be punished by law.

Thinking of this, my scalp feels numb.

But there is no way back. We have come here and we have to move on.

Since I have decided to go there, there is nothing to regret.

Regret is not my style of doing things.

It's very quiet around. It's foggy in the morning. It's not all bright yet. It's dark nearby.

After a while, the innkeeper straightened up, seemed to feel safe, made a sign, and said in a low voice: "go - Transit -"

we walked forward quickly in silence, two people in front of me were responsible for clearing the grass, and there were two rear halls behind me

As we were walking, more than a dozen black figures suddenly stood up in the grass in front of us. They were all wearing military raincoats, their helmets were shining brightly, and submachine guns were hanging on their chests. The barrel of the guns was black and shiny, and the muzzle of the black guns was pointing at us

The man in front then stopped.

My head rang, and my first reaction was that I met the border guards.

It's either ours or theirs. It should be theirs.

Whoever's got it, it's all over.

Bad thing!

My brain was a little confused for a moment, and I stood there.

At this time, my brain was tense, and I was even thinking about whether to pull them back to the border.

Just go back to the border and we'll be safe.

I kept a close eye on the back of the innkeeper in front of me, trying to reach out and pull him back, but he didn't seem to want to withdraw at all. Instead, he took a few steps forward.

"Is the deputy commander in chief here?" Someone on the opposite side asked gently, and then the muzzle of the gun was put down.

The sound is so familiar.

My nerves suddenly relaxed. God, this is the voice of old Qin. It turned out that chief of staff Qin himself brought people to the border to meet deputy commander in chief Yi.

At this moment, my heart was even a little excited.

The innkeeper turned to me and said, "deputy commander in chief, chief of staff Qin has brought people to meet you in person."

As he spoke, Lao Qin came over and gave me a smile: "Hello, deputy commander-in-chief -"

I grinned and couldn't help opening my arms and embracing Lao Qin.

Then, Lao Qin pointed to more than a dozen people behind him and said to me, "I brought all these to escort you. Boss Li specially asked me to bring someone to pick you up. He was waiting for you in the mountain stronghold. I heard that you were coming. Last night, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night."

As soon as I heard that Li Shun was so excited and stayed up all night, I knew that he must have skated again.

I looked at the man Lao Qin had brought with him. He was wearing an American style helmet. Under his raincoat, I couldn't see what kind of military uniform he was wearing. He was upright and boasted of a submachine gun with an indescribable name.

I don't know where Li Shun got the American helmet.

When I looked at them, they all stood at attention, as if waiting for my review.

I nodded to them and said nothing.

Then the innkeeper said to me, "deputy commander in chief, our mission is over here. Let's go back first."I shook hands with the five of them to say goodbye. Then they turned around and crossed the boundary line. They were in a hurry and soon disappeared in the virgin forest.

Then old Qin ran said to me, "let's go."

I nodded.

Then we put away our raincoats and went on walking through the virgin forest.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened, the morning fog dispersed, the sun slowly rose, the sun came through the cracks in the trees, the forest also began to be vivid, a variety of unknown birds cheerfully called, full of vitality.

We walked on a narrow path, with rotten pine needles and leaves at our feet. It was soft on the path, making a sound of TUT tut after the rain.

More than ten people are divided into three groups. One group is in the front to explore the way, Lao Qin and I are in the middle, the second group is in the back, and the third group is in the back.

"This is not our territory. There are often gangs around, and there will be border guards patrolling." Lao Qin told me.

I nodded. I felt nervous. I haven't entered the safe area until now.

After a while, the outpost sent back a message that there was someone in front.

Lao Qin immediately ordered everyone to hide in the roadside jungle. They all held their submachine guns tightly and watched with vigilance

After a while, the sound of walking came. It didn't sound like human.

For a moment, there were several horses, the kind of ponies unique to the golden triangle, riding a few unidentified people, all wearing raincoats, although the rain stopped, they did not take off.

But one thing I can see clearly is that they all carry guns on their shoulders, not submachine guns carried by Lao Qin, but old-fashioned rifles.

Behind them, there were more than a dozen horses, all with big bags on their backs. They didn't know what they were carrying. Each horse was led by a porter, who walked on foot.

They walked slowly past us, and finally a horseman with a gun came to the end.

It took a long time for the team to finish.

Then Lao Qin made a sign, and we came out and started to move on.

"Just now these people were smuggled by the horse gang from the golden triangle to the mainland." As he walked, old Qin said in a low voice, "the one with the gun is the business guard, that is, the bodyguard It's not our mountain people. "

I nodded.

The procession went on in a hurry and order.

When the sun rose, we finally walked out of the primeval forest. In front of us were the continuous dark mountains and the red soil at our feet.

This is the Shan plateau. It's the same red as Yunnan.

Under the sun, I take a deep breath. The air on the plateau is so fresh after the rain.

"This is our territory?" I asked Lao Qin.

Lao Qin smiles and shakes his head: "no We have to keep going. We can't relax our vigilance yet! "

Then, Lao Qin arranged three groups to act separately, the avant-garde guard and the central defender were in good order, we continued to move forward, walking on the weedy ridge.

I didn't expect that this expedition was so troublesome. I would not have come if I had known so much trouble.

Look at the time. It's more than 8 am. It's time for the tour group to have breakfast.

I felt out my cell phone and looked at it, but there was still a signal.

"In border areas, mobile signals from the mainland can be covered, and many people use communication equipment from the Mainland Including our base camp. " Lao Qin said.

"Oh..." I nodded.

"But we don't use any modern communication tools to connect with Tengchong. We have to be very secure The more high-tech things are, the less secure they are. " Said Lao Qin.

"Well..."

At this time, I saw that Lao Qin and his party were all wearing American camouflage suits, field boots and their American helmets. They looked like American soldiers, but they were Asian yellow people, not white people.

"How do you dress up?" I asked Lao Qin.

"There are a lot of gangs here, with all kinds of clothes. After boss Li took over the Shanzhai, he unified the equipment for our men and horses, and entrusted them to smuggle a large number of US military clothes and equipment from Thailand, which is different from other mountain people." Lao Qin said.

"Oh Is this weapon American? " I looked at the submachine guns they were carrying.

"Yes..." Lao Qin nodded and said, "however, Shanzhai has recently set up a number of AK47s and established a special operations unit."

"It's a lot of money, isn't it?" I said.

"Yes Boss Li's business here is booming. Ha ha... " Lao Qin laughed.

"We're not going to get into trouble if we go so blatantly with our weapons?" I asked Lao Qin.

"The purpose of wearing these clothes is to let the gangsters in the neighborhood know which mountain we are from, and let them not act rashly. Recently, we have made a reputation here, and ordinary mountain people don't dare to provoke us." Lao Qin said: "but we should also be on guard against meeting government forces. This area belongs to the cross penetration area, and all forces have their own layout."When Lao Qin mentioned the government army, I got nervous again. People like me who cross the border illegally are not afraid of the wild way, they are afraid of the right way.

After crossing two mountain ridges and going down the hillside, there is a river in front of you. The river is not fast, but the flow speed is not slow. You can't see how deep the water is.

A motor boat was parked there.

Everybody got on the boat, and the boat started going downstream.

The machine boats are roaring along the river with black smoke. On both sides of the river are dense tropical rain forests and steep canyons. In the distance, there are mountains that can't be seen.

Further on, the river suddenly opened up, and the water became smooth. From a distance, you could see a long strip of flat land on the Bank of the river, and a sharp iron roof under the big banyan trees.

Lao Qin said that this place is called Jiangkou Village. There are 100 families in Jiangkou Village. The mountain people have been living a primitive and barbaric life. They make a living by planting big smoke. Cloth, salt, kerosene and other goods were exchanged from smugglers.

Moving on, I was surprised to see wild monkeys climbing and jumping by the river. I saw an Asian wild elephant slowly walking out of the trees to drink water by the river. Seeing the ship passing by, the gentle behemoth just looked up for a moment, not touched by human interference, and then buried his head to drink.

Turning a mountain bend, I suddenly saw the valley boiling like the sea, the breeze blowing, birds singing, colorful flowers blooming in the wind. Far mountains and near valleys, mountains and deep valleys, a piece of rosy clouds falling from the sky, the earth is brilliant, like a fairyland landing on earth. The magnificent sea of flowers suddenly flooded me like a tide.
