Chapter 77

Relying on the map and compass, Lu Nan left the jungle and spent two yuan to get on a walking tractor in the countryside.

Sitting on the brick, Lu Nan held onto the iron frame tightly, fearing that the bumpy tractor would throw him off.The driver was a local who couldn't speak Mandarin, but was extremely hospitable. After Lu Nan handed him two red one-yuan bills.

Holding the front of the car tightly with his hands wearing old labor protection gloves, he muttered about a dialect that Lu Nan could not understand at all. Lu Nan nodded politely, and then laughed out loud with the uncle's hearty laughter.

The tractor drove to a relatively gentle road section, and the uncle took out the dry tobacco and glutinous rice paper from his pocket with one hand, and Lu Nan stretched out his hand to help him roll them up.But the uncle turned around and handed Lu Nan a bag of corn seeds, which contained shredded tobacco and glutinous rice paper.

Unable to resist the kindness, Lu Nan stretched out his tongue to lick the glutinous rice paper, rolled one for himself, took the uncle's matchbox and lit it.

Two people in one car, smoking choking tobacco, driving alone among the mountains.

A puff of smoke was left behind, and it was unknown whether it was the exhaust gas left by the low-quality fuel burned by the tractor, or the green smoke that was scattered with the wind after the two smoked.

When he arrived at a fork in the road, the uncle stopped the tractor and explained to Lu Nan emotionally that he was going home. If he wanted to go to the city to work, he would take this road.With little knowledge, Lu Nan jumped off the tractor, picked up his snakeskin bag and walked forward.

The uncle only thought that Lu Nan was a boy from a foreign country who crossed the border and wanted to come here to work and earn money.And Lu Nan only thinks that his uncle is a warm and friendly tractor driver, and he has been a smoker for more than half an hour.

The scenery on the edge of Yunnan is indeed beautiful, but the end point given by Miao Lian has no comrades waiting for him, but only a piece of information that allows him to complete the task.

Passing by a village, there is a line car back to the city at the entrance of the village.

Seeing the students carrying bags and pulling boxes to bid farewell to their families, and the farmers desperately stuffing all kinds of woven bags and souvenirs on the roof of the car, Lu Nan walked away carrying the snakeskin bag.No one here knew him, and no one would have an impression of a dark young man carrying a snakeskin bag, because everyone who got on the bus had the same skin.

It is a gift from the sun, and it is the color of the laborer's skin, even the snakeskin bag is the same.

Queuing to get into the overcrowded car, Lu Nan helped a girl in regional ethnic costume lift her heavy linen woven bag, which was full of peanuts and potatoes, and maybe cornmeal.

This bag contains food for young scholars. Two years ago, Lu Nan would also carry the sack and go to school like her.

Study hard and study hard.

Lu Nan, who fell into endless loneliness, suddenly found a glimmer of light. Everything he and his comrades did was not because of these students who were actively studying and ordinary people who worked hard to live out of difficulties.

"Thank you."

The girl said with a blushing face that she used the local language, so Lu Nan didn't understand what she was saying at all, and just nodded politely and then smiled.

Squeezing into the line car, the thin and capable female conductor yelled at the people who got on the bus to buy tickets.

For a moment, Lu Nan didn't know where he should get off.I only know that I am far away from the location given by Miao Lian. It may take several days to walk through the virgin forest. If there are any dangers and difficulties during the period, the mission will fail.

And he didn't carry any supplies on his body, and walked through the jungle alone empty-handed. When he reached the designated location, he was already exhausted and collapsed. Whether he could complete the assassination was still a problem.

"Buy a ticket for those who get on the train, buy a ticket for those who don't buy a ticket, get off if you don't buy a ticket!"

Lu Nan took out the folded map and looked left and right. The latitude, longitude and numbers on it were familiar, and Lu Nan was analyzing where he should get off the car.A shy and youthful voice came to her ears, and the girl blushed and looked at Lu Nan.

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Uh~~~"

Although the girl tried her best to speak Mandarin fluently, she still had an inexplicable remorse and shyness on her face after she spoke it with a very local accent.

Lu Nan smiled and said, "I want to go to Pengzhai, but I just don't know where to get off."

"To Pengzhai?" The girl said with blushing cheeks: "Pengzhai is very far away, you can only get off at the side of the road, and you have to walk for several hours to get there. I am going to the town, and I will remind you to get off car."

"Thank you so much. I'm just worried about where to get off."

The conductor squeezed over and shouted in his local accent, "Go to Pengzhai, eight yuan and five."

"Uh~~~"

Lu Nan still couldn't hear what she said clearly, so he could only focus on the girl, who covered her mouth and giggled.

"Brother, the ticket to Pengzhai costs eight yuan and fifty cents."

"Oh, thank you."

Lu Nan took out the change from his pocket and handed it to the conductor, thinking that it was so expensive, he yelled at the price, took the change and put it in his pocket.The bumpy feeling continued to surround Lu Nan, holding the handle in the car, Lu Nan almost fell asleep standing up.

Suddenly, the girl sitting on the car seat asked: "Brother, what do you do, your accent is not from here."

"Oh."

Wiping the corner of his mouth, Lu Nan said, "The tractor driver was tricked into working here, and that's what happened."

"Ah!" The girl opened her mouth wide and looked at him in surprise.

"Hey, small things. You have to study hard, or you will have to work everywhere to make a living like your brother. You were tricked into working here for more than a year without any wages, and you were beaten up."

After a long silence, the girl said, "My father was also tricked into taking a part-time job, and he hasn't come back yet."

"what?"

Now it was Lu Nan's turn to be surprised.

In the noisy carriage, someone lit a choking cigarette, and white smoke filled the carriage.The girl opened the car window to breathe, turned her head to look at the scenery she had seen many times, and Lu Nan also focused on the scenery outside the window.

After a long silence, the girl felt like chatting again.

"Brother, where are you from?"

Lu Nan said casually, "Northern people."

"Then you must have been to many places."

"Correct."

Lu Nan said with recollection: "I have been to many places, including deserts, seasides, grasslands, and plateaus. I have seen the majestic Great Wall, the rough sea, and the boundless desert.

Once I went boating with my friends, but the wind and waves capsized our boat. The wind and waves were very strong at that time, and we climbed ashore exhaustedly.When I was thirsty, I found a coconut tree on the shore, so I climbed up the tree to pick coconuts. When I got down from the tree, I found that my friends had snatched all the coconuts I picked. I was so angry that I kicked them into the sea one by one. "

"Hahaha······"

The girl smiled and said, "Your friends really, don't they leave one for you?"

"Hi." Lu Nan shook his head and said, "Don't mention those bastards, they are all very angry."

While chatting, Lu Nan also put down his guard and chatted with the girl to his heart's content.

I don't know how long the car has been driving on the winding country dirt road. The girl glanced at the side of the road, her expression still unfinished.

"Brother, at the small intersection in front of you, after you get off the car and walk forward, you will reach Pengzhai. By the way, don't you want to go to the town and the county seat?"

Greeting the conductor to get off the bus, Lu Nan picked up the snakeskin bag and waited for the bus to stop.

"I'll go to a friend and borrow some money from him to buy a bus ticket home. You have to study hard, you know?"

The girl leaned on the car window and turned her head to Lu Nan: "Understood, goodbye."

After getting off the car, Lu Nan stood on the side of the road and waved to her: "Goodbye, study hard."
