After a fierce fight, the defeated gangsters quickly fled into the jungle by the river, leaving only a broken boat that hadn't burned out and the faintly red river.
The river was so quiet that only the sound of their boat sailing was left.
The three of Ah Zhi were injured in the explosion, but fortunately because Qiao Wen reminded them in time, the injuries were not serious. Several people on board fought fiercely, and each suffered injuries to varying degrees, but they were all tough guys who had experienced strong winds and waves, and a little knife wound was nothing.
After all, only Qiao Wen was unscathed.
The river course was really unsafe, and we had to arrive in the dark. Jiang Yufeng didn't dare to delay, and ordered the helmsman to speed up the boat. The rest of the people sat on the deck to heal their injuries and rest as if they had survived a catastrophe.
Qiao Wen followed Chen Jianan into the cabin silently.
Chen Jianan suffered some stab wounds on his arm, but it was not serious, so he just treated it with iodophor and gave up. The two sat on the ground next to the bedroll, watching the tropical jungle scenery passing by outside the cabin, and did not speak for a while.
It wasn't just them who didn't make a sound, the few people on the outer deck were all in a long silence, as if they were frightened by this sudden change.
I don't know how long it took, Qiao Wen turned his gaze back, landed on the wound on Chen Jianan's arm, and asked, "Brother Nan, does it hurt?"
Chen Jianan froze for a moment, smiled lightly, and shook his head: "It's a small injury, it doesn't hurt." As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed the other person's hair, "Are you scared?"
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he touched Qiao Wen like this. Usually, he regarded him as a weak brother who needed to be taken care of and protected by himself, and he always touched his head like this. But it seems that just a few months ago, Qiao Wen seemed to have grown up suddenly, no longer the timid and weak brother he was familiar with, and had more ideas than himself when encountering things.
But no matter what, his younger brother is just eight years old, a young man who has never experienced anything, and now he is asked to watch them kill, how can he accept it for a while

Not to mention Qiao Wen, but himself, he couldn't bear the thought of how many boy scouts who were just a few years old had died.
It's not that he hasn't seen murder before. In the city, there are people lying dead on the street every three days. He thought that murder was not a big deal, but when it was his turn to do it, he realized that a living life died in his own hands. , that kind of impact is still greater than he expected.
Thinking of this, he slid his hands from Qiao Wen's head to his thin shoulders, and pulled him into his arms.
Qiao Wen looked up at him, and guessed that he was suffering from the first murder of the day. But even so, he was still comforting himself. He didn't break free from his arm, but instead leaned on his shoulder and said in a low voice, "Brother Nan, you're fine. If you didn't move quickly, you might have been killed by that kid."
The appearance of the child appeared in Chen Jianan's mind, but he didn't see it clearly. He only vaguely saw that he was a thin boy of three or four years old. He became a desperado at such a young age, which must be forced by life. . Of course he didn't regret killing him, but he couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.
Qiao Wen glanced at him calmly. He was a nine-year-old young man with a serious expression at the moment, and it was rare to show a mature and compassionate expression.
Originally watching this vicious fight, I had mixed feelings in my heart, but now seeing that Chen Jianan did not show the bloodthirsty excitement after the killing, on the contrary, he looked a little sad, which shows his true nature. He is indeed a kind man, which somewhat comforts him.
But he couldn't help but wonder, what kind of mental journey did such a person go through in the original world before he became a villain full of evil
The two leaned together quietly, each with their own thoughts, and fell into a long silence again. Until Jiang Yufeng entered the cabin and broke the peace.
Jiang Yufeng was a big man, he stooped to get in, and when he looked up, he saw the two brothers who were cuddling close together, as if they were in a daze.
He knew beforehand that the two of them were getting along well, and he had seen it with his own eyes on the boat these few days, eating the same bowl of rice and sleeping under the same quilt. But forgive him for his lack of knowledge, I have lived to be in my twenties, and I have never seen such a big brother who hugged each other when they fell asleep at night.
If it wasn't because he was so sure that the two were pure and flawless brotherhood, he couldn't help but guess elsewhere.
He silently looked at the two young men, one handsome and the other handsome.
Not to mention, it's quite eye-catching.
"What? Haven't slowed down yet?" He walked over and sat down opposite the two.
Qiao Wen lost his mind, sat up straight, and said in unison with Chen Jianan: "Brother Feng."
Among this group of people, Jiang Yufeng was the one who saw the most wind and waves, so although he had lingering fears, he was still calm and calm. He walked to the side of the two and sat down, put his hand on Chen Jianan's shoulder, and smiled lightly. : "Anan, you saved Brother Feng's life today, Brother Qingfeng will remember this."
Chen Jianan didn't care about this: "If you can't do this, how can you feel sorry for Brother Feng for giving you a chance?"
Jiang Yufeng smiled and shook his head, then looked at Qiao Wen again: "However, Ah Wen deserved the most credit today. If you hadn't discovered the anomaly and told Ah Zhi and the others to return home, and let the boat go back, I'm afraid we will be out of trouble today." It's already folded here."
Qiao Wen said: "I suddenly feel something is wrong."
Jiang Yufeng asked curiously, "Do you feel something is wrong?"
Qiao Wen frowned and shook his head: "I can't tell, it's just my intuition."
Jiang Yufeng was stunned for a while, and after a while, he turned a little serious, and said, "Ah Wen, if you encounter something like today, no matter what the situation is, don't be too soft-hearted."
"That's right!" Chen Jianan finally recovered from the pain and sorrow after the murder, and nodded in agreement, filled with righteous indignation, "You were so soft-hearted just now that you almost died at the hands of that little bastard."
Qiao Wen thought of the critical moment just now, but his back felt chills, and he slowly let out a bad breath. It wasn't until this moment that he clearly realized that in the cruel age of the weak and the strong, whoever has a little kindness towards the enemy Heart, it may lead to irreversible consequences.
It's just that killing people is really too difficult for him, not to mention that the other party is still a child—even though he knows very well that this country that has been devastated by war for many years has already become soldiers.
Jiang Yufeng said again: "Anan, you are right, isn't it just to kill someone? These gangsters are here to kill us, if you don't kill them, they will kill us, cheer up, this mission is still here It's not over."
Chen Jianan did not have so many twists and turns in his heart than Qiao Wen's. Hearing this, he really cheered up. His eyes, which were slightly depressed, showed two clusters of fierce light, and said viciously: "Yes, no If you kill them, they have to kill them. If you don’t see these bastards are young, you will never keep them. If you dare to come again in the future, let’s kill one by one, and kill one by one.”
Qiao Wen raised his head and silently watched his reaction, which was in line with his personality as a quasi-villain.
He caught a glimpse of the undried blood on his hand again, and suddenly he was a little worried, because he knew that some things, once started, would be taken for granted in the future.
To this day, he absolutely does not want Chen Jianan to follow the old path again.
At this time, the setting sun had already disappeared into the mountains and forests, leaving only a rosy cloud hanging in the sky, and as the boat sailed, the color became more and more dimmer, and it was about to get dark.
Fortunately, the rest of the journey was smooth and smooth, and when there was only a small smear of red in the sky, I finally saw the patrol boat with the flag of the Ansha Army.
Presumably, Ansha had already explained that these ships saw them, and after confirming their identities, they came up to guide them. After half an hour, they finally stopped at a pier.
Although there is a wharf, there are still no villages on both sides of the river. As for the towns, there are no shadows. It is obvious that Ansha is now his old nest, located in the depths of the sparsely populated jungle.
However, this pier is still a serious pier, with a few small motor boats parked beside it, and soldiers in yellow-green uniforms standing guard with guns on the shore. When their cargo ship was sailing in the vast sea, it could only be regarded as a small flat boat, but when it got to the inland river, it could be regarded as a giant, and when it stopped on the shore, it was quite imposing.
As soon as the cargo ship was moored, I saw a jeep coming from the only dirt road on the shore in the twilight of the afterglow.
The car seemed to be just for show, moving very slowly, so that there was a line of foot guards behind the car. The people in the car came to meet Jiang Yufeng and his party in person, General Ansha.
The jeep stopped in front of the wharf, and the guards on guard stepped up and gave a standard military salute to everyone in the car.
Ansha in the back seat got out of the car while returning the salute. He was a dark-skinned middle-aged man, short and strong, with a smile on his face. He looked like a very hearty Southeast Asian soldier.
Surrounded by a group of guards, Ansha walked to the pier, waved to the people on board, and said in broken Chinese: "Brother Jiang, I have been waiting for you for a long time, welcome!"
Jiang Yufeng raised his hand and responded, "General An!"
Ansha is a regular customer of the fifth master in Hong Kong City, and this is not the first time Jiang Yufeng has delivered goods for the fifth master. Naturally, he has dealt with this person before.
Jiang Yufeng has been doing a life-and-death job, and he can live safely until now, not only because of his good skills, but also because of his cautious mind. He understands very well that just because it went well last time doesn't mean it won't go well this time, especially now that Nanfang has already seen a defeat, it's really hard to say whether the other party will continue to follow the usual rules and pay both money and goods.
So it seemed to be safe, but he still didn't dare to be careless. He only took Ah Zhi and Chen Jianan Qiaowen off the boat, and the rest of the brothers stayed on the boat, in case something happened on the shore, they could retreat immediately.
Qiao Wen followed Jiang Yufeng, looked around calmly, and walked side by side with him. Chen Jianan guessed that he was worried that he was afraid, so he subconsciously held his hand, but he realized that this was the case. It seemed a little strange for the two big guys to hold hands, but they quickly let go.
After stepping on the pier, Qiao Wen realized that although General Ansha was not tall, perhaps because of his high position, he was quite imposing.
Jiang Yufeng came up and shook hands with him: "General An, long time no see."
An Sha said: "Brother Jiang, welcome, welcome, how is Fifth Master?"
Although Jiang Yufeng used the name of the fifth master, he actually saw a hair of the fifth master in Hong Kong City. He didn't know whether it was a man or a woman. How could he know whether it was good or bad, but he couldn't say that. Smiling and nodding, he said, "Trust General An, thank you, Fifth Lord, everything is fine." Then he said, "The cargo is in the cabin, you can arrange for someone to inspect and unload it."
Ansha raised his hand to signal for the guards behind him to board the ship to unload the cargo.
Because of sufficient manpower, several large boxes of grenades were unloaded to the shore, but within a few minutes. An Sha glanced casually, nodded with satisfaction, obviously trusting Jiang Yufeng, and then said enthusiastically: "Let's go, I have prepared a dust-cleaning banquet for Brother Jiang, let's have a good drink tonight."
Ansha is a warm and hospitable warlord. Jiang Yufeng came to deliver the goods a year ago. His base camp is still in the town. Ordinary countries are even worse, reveling like the end of the world.
That time, Ansha arranged for them to eat, drink and have fun for three whole days, and the brothers under him simply couldn't think of leaving in Ruanxiang.
Now that we arrived in the jungle, although the conditions were limited, Ansha still acted enthusiastically. When he started the journey, he was not in a jeep, but led a few people on foot and returned to his headquarters.
Along the way, he talked and laughed heartily with Jiang Yufeng. It's just that his Chinese proficiency is really limited, so the chatter and jokes are mainly based on laughter and supplemented by talk.
General An's giggling laughter rang out all the way like a magic voice piercing his brain.
Fortunately, Jiang Yufeng has an unchanging expression.
Chen Jianan was dishonest very quickly, taking advantage of people not paying attention, he quietly scratched the palm of Qiao Wen's hand, and when he saw him, he showed a smirk at the corner of his mouth. Seeing that Qiao Wen didn't respond, he looked at Fang again to cover up, regained his serious expression, and began to think about what he could eat later.
After floating in the sea for the past few days, I ate either canned food or stewed sea fish. The gluttons in my stomach are already ready to move. Now I am thinking that General An can arrange a delicious meal for him, so that he can have a good meal. After a while, the danger in the first place was forgotten.
Qiao Wen naturally didn't know that his heart was so big, because he didn't stop his mind for a moment, and kept observing the current situation seriously.
Obviously, this is a jungle area with few people. Ansha retreated here, presumably the situation is over, this long war is indeed coming to an end.
This General Ansha is obviously not a foolish person, so he can't judge the situation. His small eyes in the deep eye sockets reveal a bit of shrewdness, and he is not a loyal soldier after all.
A general who may be both shrewd and loyal, retreating to the jungle and spending a lot of money to buy such a large batch of grenades under the background of his own side's general situation is gone, is unlikely to be a last-ditch counterattack.
If it is not for war, then it can only be for getting rich, and it is likely to want to make a final windfall.
Qiao Wen didn't want to use malice to guess people's hearts, but war can turn people into demons. Now that Ansha has retreated here, he can still talk and laugh with guests like this, I'm afraid he is more terrifying than demons.
Thinking of this possibility, Qiao Wen frowned uncomfortably.
Twenty minutes later, a group of people arrived at the Ansha headquarters.
Speaking of the headquarters, it should have occupied a stockade in the jungle. Several small wooden houses surrounded a large yard with a watchtower erected in the middle, which was very simple.
The four of them were first taken to the room where they stayed for cleaning and a rest.
They hadn't had a good bath for a few days at sea. At this time, several people were wearing a sticky body, put down their luggage bags, and went into the bathroom to take a quick bath.
After washing away all the dust and dirt and coming out in clean clothes, the sound of dancing and music was already playing outside, and there were lights dancing in the window, indicating that there was a bonfire in the courtyard.
This is the cleansing banquet prepared by Ansha for them.
Guided by the guards, several people came to the courtyard to take their seats.
The seat is in the shape of a hollowed-out character. Ansha sits on the upper seat, and several of their guests sit to his left, and on the opposite side are several of his subordinates. In the empty space in the middle, a bonfire is lit. In the jungle without electricity, this bonfire is the most direct way of lighting.
Two beauties wearing colorful Ao Dai (traditional Vietnamese women's clothing) sat on both sides of Ansha, embracing left and right. When the four of them were seated, An Sha waved his hand, and several young women came out in a file, sat down beside them respectively, and poured wine and tea for them.
Both Jiang Yufeng and Ah Zhi are well-informed, and they are very calm about throwing themselves into the arms of beautiful women. Of course, Qiao Wen has a lot of knowledge, and he is also very calm.
Only Chen Jianan felt uncomfortable when he smelled the fragrance of the woman coming over.
To say that he is ignorant is not the case. He has been wandering in the East District of the Walled City all year round and has never seen anything. But his father had taught him harshly in the matter of men and women since he was a child, and he was determined not to let him play with women. Therefore, he had never touched a woman until he was nineteen years old, and he could be said to have always been a virgin.
Now that the strange woman leaned softly against him, he felt as if he had nails growing under his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still. When he saw the woman who was serving Qiao Wen and was about to stick to Qiao Wen, he felt even more uncomfortable. His younger brother suffered a great loss, so under the watchful eyes of everyone, he changed seats and squeezed Qiao Wen into the middle to separate him from the woman.
Jiang Yufeng caught a glimpse of his movement from the corner of his eye, and twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't make a move to teach his little brother a lesson, so he could only let him show his embarrassment.
At this time, Ansha raised his wine glass and said: "Under the current situation, Lord Wu and Brother Jiang are still willing to take the risk of delivering goods for me to relieve my urgent need. I am very grateful that this glass of wine is worth it. Respect everyone."
Jiang Yufeng toasted and replied: "General An, you are welcome. The fifth master and you have been very happy to cooperate these years, and I hope to continue to cooperate."
Ansha smiled and said, "That's that, come on! Let's drink."
During the banquet, everyone drank happily with him, and even Qiao Wenyu made a gesture of raising his head and gulping it down. Of course, in fact, it is only a sip.
This body of his is extremely bad at drinking, if something happens, dragging a drunken body is not a good thing.
After drinking a glass of wine, the dance music played again, and several beauties wearing Ao Dai barefoot danced up and down, adding to the fun of tonight's banquet.
It has to be said that An Sha is really a general who knows how to enjoy himself. He retreated into the jungle and brought so many beauties with him.
Probably influenced by France and the United States, the Ao Dai worn by these beauties is quite different from the plain and conservative traditional style. Not only are the colors bright, but there are also slits on the sides of the long skirt, and the two snow-white thighs are looming during the dance. is a hollowed-out style, revealing a spring color, which is always sexy and provocative.
Jiang Yufeng and Ah Zhi didn't know whether they really liked it or it was because of saving face, they seemed to be very interested, while Qiao Wen took it as an appreciation of exotic customs.
As for Chen Jianan, he obviously has no interest in appreciating art, and he is feasting on the whole process without raising his eyelids a few times, giving his eyes to the dancing beauties.
Qiao Wen secretly sighed, it was the first time he realized that this guy was far from enlightened in matters of men and women.
After a song and dance ended, Ansha clapped his hands again, and two men who looked like guards carried two boxes, put them on Jiang Yufeng's table, and opened them himself.
Qiao Wen only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and when he took a closer look, he saw two neatly packed boxes of hundred-dollar bills.
Ansha laughed and said, "Brother Jiang, this is the payment for the fifth batch of grenades. You should check it out for him."
Jiang Yufeng just glanced casually, didn't reach out to count, nodded and smiled and said, "Why don't you worry about dealing with General An?"
Ansha was very happy when he heard the words, and raised his glass again: "Okay, let's continue drinking."
Qiao Wen closed the two boxes, silently looking at the white bills, two million dollars, which is definitely a huge sum of money in this era, but it is just a single business.
It can be seen that the Fifth Lord of Hong Kong City must have the ability to reach the sky.
