    Along the way, most of the areas were in high mountains with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. The climate was hot. It rained three times in one day, which gave Zhang Xiao a taste of the weather conditions in tropical areas. This is because there is abundant rainfall and soil.  It is fertile and extremely suitable for the growth of opium poppy. In addition, the dense jungle, rugged roads, and traffic congestion here are beyond the reach of the government, providing unique political, economic, geographical, and climatic conditions for growing opium poppy.

    "Mr. Zhang, it looks like we won't be able to reach Putao Town today. How about we find a village to rest for one night before leaving." Zhang Xiao didn't know where to go to meet drug dealers, so he had to go deep into Kachin State to try his luck.

    "This damn weather, it will rain once in a while, can't it rain all at once?" Zhang Xiao was nagging unhappily, "We stopped to rest in the next village and ate a day's worth of dry food, and there was a bird in my mouth.  .¡±

    "There's nothing we can do. The weather here is like this. Fortunately, we don't have to go into the jungle, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable." Zhang Qiang comforted his major customer.

    Most people in Kachin State believe in Christianity. When Zhang Xiao and the others stopped in a small village called Gagong, what caught Zhang Xiao's attention most was the church in this village. All the houses were simple small bamboo buildings.  The church is a large house with a masonry structure. Comparing the two, shouldn't the difference be too big?  I really don¡¯t know why people here have such a difficult life and why they value their faith so much.

    "Visitors from afar, welcome to Gagong Village. Is there anything I can do for you?" As soon as the car stopped, an old man on crutches came up and said hello.  Zhang Xiao looked around and saw no other person besides this old man. He didn't know what was going on.

    "Old man, we are passing by here and want to stay here to rest for a night. Isn't it convenient?" Zhang Xiaoneng understood.  But expression must go through Zhang Qiang.

    The old man looked at the two of them carefully for a while, as if he had something to say, that is, he did not agree to their request.  But I didn¡¯t refuse, I don¡¯t know what it meant.

    "Old man, if you have anything to say, just say it. We won't blame you. Don't worry, we are not bad people." Zhang Xiao could probably tell that the old man must have some scruples about the arrival of the two people. This can also be  Explain clearly why there is no one here except the old man.

    "Aren't you a government soldier?" After the old man looked at the two people, he kept staring at the car driving behind them.

    Zhang Xiao patted his head and discovered the crux of the matter. The two of them were driving a dark green Jeep Wrangler. At first glance, it really looked like a government vehicle. The actual controller of Kachin State was the Kachin armed forces.  The Kachin armed forces have been operating here for many years. Now that the two sides are at war, the people still prefer the Kachin armed forces.

    "Of course we are not government troops. I am from Yangon University and I still have my student ID here. This is Mr. Zhang, from China. He is here to inspect the lives of the people in our Golden Triangle area. He wants to write  A book about this place." Zhang Qiang took out his student ID card and introduced Zhang Xiao to the old man.

    The old man may not know how to read, so he called a man loudly.  He handed Zhang Qiang's student ID card to him. After confirming it, the old man's attitude improved and he let Zhang Xiao and the others into his house.

    The bamboo building is built off the ground, and the roof is covered with a thick layer of bamboo grass. It is very suitable for living in tropical areas, but it seems a bit too simple.  There were three people hiding in the room, a woman and two children. When they saw Zhang Xiao, they did not dare to come forward to say hello and hid far away.

    Zhang Xiao took off his backpack from his back, then took out a bunch of snacks from it, walked to the three of them, and handed all the snacks to the two children who were looking at him with wide eyes. The children happily took the snacks, but  But they didn't dare to tear open the package immediately, but turned to look at their mother.

    "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang from China." The old man is still the one who makes the decision in this family. For Zhang Xiao's friendly behavior, the old man who was still a little worried immediately relaxed a lot and called the women to prepare a sumptuous meal for Zhang Xiao and the two of them.  dinner.

    "Old man, don't be too polite, just get some." Zhang Xiao saw that the old man was about to kill a chicken, and hurriedly stopped him. He didn't see many chickens in the yard, so how could Zhang Xiao have the nerve to eat them?  They only had one, but the old man insisted on entertaining Zhang Xiao, an 'international friend', and had to kill him. Zhang Xiao had no choice but to let him go. At worst, he would leave more money for them when he left.

    "Old man, how many people do you have in your family?" Since he was playing the role of a writer, Zhang Xiao started the interview with a pen and paper in his hand, doing the whole thing and not being a gangster.

    "One." The old man raised his index finger without saying anything surprising.

    "Aren't there four more people here? Aren't they your family?" Zhang Xiao asked with concern.

    "No, heThey are my nephew and his wife, they are not my family, they just live together and take care of each other.  "The old man answered truthfully when faced with the 'interview'.

    "Nephew? What about the rest of your family?" Zhang Xiao wrote down what the old man said in his notebook one by one.

    The old man fell into a brief silence, "Hey" the old man sighed and began to explain. It turned out that the old man had two sons, but in order to support his family, he joined the Kachin armed forces. In a confrontation with the government troops, both of them died.  , and the experience of his nephew's family was similar to that of his son, who also lost their lives in the war.

    Zhang Xiao carefully recorded what the old man said, and then asked: "Aren't the government troops responsible for killing people?" Zhang Xiao's question is a bit silly. They are originally two sides fighting each other, so who will care about you?  of life and death.

    The old man shook his head and did not answer. He sat on a small stool and smoked his long pipe, looking very lonely.

    "Old man, can you introduce me to the Kachin armed forces? I want to experience their life." This opportunity must not come back again. So many of the old man's family members have sacrificed for the Kachin armed forces. I would like to introduce one or two people to join.  , there should be no problem.

    ¡°You want to go inside, but you can¡¯t. There¡¯s a war going on right now, so it¡¯s not safe to go inside.¡± The old man had a pretty good impression of Zhang Xiao as an ¡®international friend¡¯ and did not rashly agree to Zhang Xiao¡¯s request.

    "Old man, just promise me, this is very important for me to write a book. I want more people to understand the living conditions of the Kachin people." After finally encountering a breakthrough, Zhang Xiao did not want to give up easily.

    "Have you really decided?" the old man put down his pipe and asked seriously.

    "Hmm" Zhang Xiao nodded firmly, but Zhang Qiang relied entirely on Zhang Xiao to make the decision. He basically sold it to Zhang Xiao and had no objection.

    "I will let my Hanba handle this matter. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's eat first." The old man agreed to Zhang Xiao's request without any further delay.

    Zhang Xiao finally had what the old man called a "summer" dinner. There were only four dishes in total, two were vegetarian dishes from the garden, one was a mushroom picked from the forest, and the only meat dish was a chicken specially killed for Zhang Xiao.  It's not rice, it's a bit like porridge, mixed with rice, corn kernels, and even sorghum. It doesn't taste very good.  The old man's family just immersed themselves in eating, but rarely touched the food on the table. Zhang Xiao couldn't use his chopsticks. The old man was very enthusiastic and put two chicken legs into Zhang Xiao's bowl. Zhang Xiao didn't dare to eat it all.  He distributed two chicken drumsticks to two children. Seeing the two children tearing them apart, Zhang Xiao felt heartbroken for no reason. Compared with these two children, children in China are much happier.

    Whether it was Zhang Xiao's behavior of sharing food or the compassion shown in Zhang Xiao's eyes, the old man saw it. He had a better impression of Zhang Xiao and decided to do his best to protect Zhang Xiao while helping him.  His safety, human nature is like this, when there is no conflict of interest between them, they appear so simple.

    In the evening, in order to make room for Zhang Xiao and the two of them to rest, the old man called the two children to sleep with him. The weather was too hot and sultry, breeding a lot of mosquitoes. Zhang Xiao couldn't bear the bites, so he took out a mosquito bite.  The bite improved after lighting a stick of sandalwood. Sandalwood is mixed with tuberose juice, which has a very good repellent effect on mosquitoes. For this trip to Myanmar, Zhang Xiao asked Zhang Qizhangba to prepare a lot of these for him.  sandalwood.

    The next morning, Zhang Xiao and Zhang Xiao were awakened by the sound of church bells. Sandalwood has a soothing effect. They slept in the same room and fell asleep smelling the sandalwood. If it weren't for the ringing of the bells, they would probably have fallen asleep.  People have to sleep for a while.

    Today happened to be Monday, a Christian Sunday. The elderly family probably all went to church. No one was seen at home. They just found a towel and toothbrush by themselves. Zhang Xiao walked to the well, and Zhang Qiang followed him.  .

    "Mr. Zhang, don't you want to visit the church?"

    "I'm not a religious person. Besides, people have already started praying. Didn't you hear the sound of hymns? If you go in at this time, you will be kicked out."

    By the time the old man came back with the women and children, it was already half an hour later, but Zhang Xiao did not see the man from yesterday.

    "Old man, why don't the children go to school?" The two children should be over ten years old, but due to long-term malnutrition, they look a bit small and do not look like teenagers at all.

    "With the war and chaos, there are no books anywhere. Even if they can go to school, the family can't afford so much money to support them." The old man sighed helplessly again, touching the heads of the two children lovingly with his hands.

    Zhang Xiao didn¡¯t know how to comfort him. There should be many more situations like this in Kachin State. Even if Zhang Xiao wanted to help, he wouldn¡¯t be able to help many.  "Old man, where is Brother Hanbao?" Hanbao is the name of the old man's nephew.

    ? ???I asked him to contact the armed forces for you. He should bring someone to pick you up when he comes back. You should be prepared.  "There is no phone here, and the only way to communicate with the outside world is by running errands. (To be continued)
