The bullets whizzed past me, and I dived to the bottom of the river in one breath. The river is not too deep, only about five or six meters. I dived forward. I'm exhausted, but my life is at stake now, I can't help but work hard!
My lungs are starting to ache from holding my breath for too long, but I know I haven't swam far enough! Don't dare to come out of the water! On the open water, I don't have any cover. As soon as I come out of the water, if one or two of the opponents have better marksmanship, I will die!
The water in this river is very turbid, almost black! It also has a strong smell, a faint smell of organic oil. I know this is the result of the discharge of industrial sewage, but at least the black river water is good for me at the moment. I dive underwater, and the people above can't see me clearly under the water.
I held my breath for a long time, and finally when I couldn't bear to stick out of the river, I was already more than ten meters away from the river bank. The people on the bank were yelling and cursing, but after all, no one really jumped off the stinking river. the river to catch up. They vented for a while, and immediately someone ran away to both sides!
I swam far enough that I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Vietnam is located in the tropics and the climate is hot. Although I was tired after soaking in the water, it was not cold... If I were to change to a place with a world of ice and snow, even if I could not drown, I would freeze to death.
After all, I have been in Hanoi for a few days, and I have a little understanding of the geographical environment here.
The city of Hanoi is generally located in the Red River Triangle in Vietnam, and this big river is a tributary of the Red River, which runs right through the city of Hanoi. I know that the nearest iron bridge is far away, so I'm not worried that they will rush to the other side to block me.
The wide river surface is at least 100 meters by visual inspection. This is already the narrowest place in this section of the river. It would not be a big problem for me to swim in the usual way, but now that I am exhausted, it is a problem for my physical strength and strength. A major test of will!
Having experienced life and death struggles many times, my nerves have been trained very tough. Although I was so tired that I felt like I was about to faint, I still gritted my teeth and persisted... I don’t want to be shot to death in the end, but in a Drowned in the river!
When I finally climbed to the other side, my legs were as soft as noodles. I staggered a few steps and fell to the ground... I felt as if my last bit of strength had been exhausted!
My left arm was already numb, and I couldn't even feel the pain. My body smelled so bad, my whole body was soaked in the dirty river water, and there was faint oil stains hanging on my body. I turned over and lay on my back on the river bank, panting like a wild dog.
I didn't dare to rest for too long, I only allowed myself to breathe for two minutes, and immediately forced myself to sit up. After two minutes of breathing, I feel that my body is not so stiff anymore... Thanks to those years in Canada.
If I had changed to the feasting and feasting days I spent in China back then, I would definitely not have such good physical strength as I do now. In Canada, the days of hard training in the garage gym brought my physical fitness back to its peak.
"That woman, I don't know if she is dead or not." A thought suddenly popped into my mind.
In fact, I would like to thank her very much, if she hadn't rushed out of the alley and let me discover that it was a trap in time... If I had walked into that alley at that time, I'm afraid I would never be able to escape!
According to my judgment, after I left to buy medicine, the Vietnamese gang tracked it all the way and found the motorcycle and the woman at our hiding place. Then, in order to catch me, they deliberately arranged some people around, ready to wait for the rabbit.
I didn't expect that woman to rush out at a critical moment...
The dirty river water made my eyes hurt. I wiped my face vigorously, gritted my teeth and raised my arm to look at it. The bullet hole was slowly bleeding again. I tore off my shirt with all my strength, tore off a strip of cloth and bandaged the wound on my left arm, temporarily suppressing the bleeding from the wound.
I stood up again and identified the direction according to the sun in the sky.
what to do
I stood by the river, looked at the strange city around me, and smiled helplessly.
It's like this again... It's this kind of desperation like a bereaved dog!
All this seems to be in Guangzhou! But in Guangzhou, I at least met a fat man to help me... But here, I am alone!
He touched the leather bag beside him.
Thankfully, even when I was running all the way just now, I didn't throw away the bag in my hand, because I have already experienced the "runaway" life, and I know that money is essential when running!
I slapped my head and remembered that there were gauze, cotton, and medicine in the bag I just bought. Unfortunately, when I opened it, it was all soaked in dirty river water. Only the sealed vial is good.
I forced myself to calm down, thinking quickly: First, I must find a place to change! I'm so attention-grabbing now, I'm so stinking and black, walking on the street soaking wet, I'm the center of attention!
First find a place to change clothes.
Then I have to make a call.
It is estimated that Ciro has already disembarked from the plane! I can't call him while he's on the plane, he should contact me as soon as he gets off the plane. It is estimated that Xi Luo is also very anxious now. I did not board the plane at the last moment, and he flew out of Vietnam alone. It is estimated that this kid must have been anxious on the plane.
Um!
I took a breath and cleared my mind!
Change clothes first, then contact Xi Luo, then ask him to go back to find Eighth Master, and then find a way to take me out of Vietnam...
And before they come to rescue me, I have to find a place to hide!
"Hide..." I smiled wryly.
Easier said than done!
After all, this is Vietnam, and I am a foreigner here. Now not only do I have to avoid the police, but I also have to avoid the Vietnamese gangsters! I can't stay in a hotel, I can't stay in a hotel! Because in that case, it would be discovered very quickly... I couldn't even leave Hanoi! I'm sure if I dared to take a taxi, or go to a station or something, I'd be spotted!
Compared with the police, the powerful local gangs in that place are more pervasive than the official!
Also, I got hurt. If I am chased by someone again, I can't guarantee that I will still be able to escape.
After thinking so much by the river, I was going to walk downstream to see if I could find somewhere to change.
As soon as I walked to a small path beside the river, I saw not far away, a thin and small man was standing there looking at me curiously.
This is a boy, at most ten years old, black and thin, with a dirty face, holding a bamboo basket in one hand.
This should be the children from the neighborhood who came to the river to take out the garbage. He looked at me curiously. I don't know how long he stood looking at me from a distance, but my current appearance should be very strange.
Looking at this child, I suddenly felt moved. I quickly opened the purse in my hand, and then twisted out a dollar bill that was already soaked. I smiled at him and waved at the same time...
Sure enough, after all, he is a child of about ten years old, at least he already understands the importance of money. He looked at the banknote in my hand, and his eyes shone...
After half an hour, I was already walking on the path in clean clothes.
The boy really lived nearby, not a hundred paces from where I landed. I bribed him with one hundred dollars and told him to go home and get me a set of his family's adult clothes, and then I found a tap on the side of the road and simply rinsed my body. Although those oil stains are difficult to clean, at least I am not covered in black water now, and the smell is still a bit unpleasant, but if you don't get close to me, it shouldn't attract people's attention.
The kid charged me a hundred dollars for the suit he gave me. He probably stole it from his father when he got home. It's a bit short, but it's okay.
It only took five minutes for him to go back and change his clothes, but it took me 20 minutes to communicate with him. I don’t know Vietnamese, and he doesn’t know English. Finally, I found out that he can speak a little Chinese. After knowing a few words, I barely understood what the other party meant.
I walked for ten minutes and came to a street. The streets in Vietnam are very narrow, and it is difficult to find that kind of wide road. I searched for many telephone halls, but obviously the basic living facilities in Vietnam are very bad, and there are many telephones. The halls were all destroyed. I ran for several streets before finally finding a telephone hall. I tried to call Shiro with the change I got from the vendors who bought books and newspapers on the side of the road. But after making the call, I found out helplessly that this roadside telephone hall cannot make international long distance calls...
I finally breathed out.
If you want to make international calls, you can only look for some high-end places, such as hotels...or...post offices
I smiled wryly, it was too risky, I'd better find a way to fix the wound first.
I was walking on the street, along the eaves, looking for pharmacies with my head down all the way...
On the streets of Vietnam, there are many small KTVs, all of which are very low-end chicken coops. This kind of small chicken coops are almost everywhere. You can see this colorful signboard on many streets, most of which are gaudy The picture of the girl, I walked for a while, looking at these KTV signs, suddenly my heart moved...
In Vietnam, I still know at least one person!
The mixed-race beauty in that upscale nightclub.
