Northern Myanmar: Years of Dehumanization

"Don't worry, if you choose to stay here, I will arrange everything for you and won't let those loan sharks hurt you..."

"Brother, you know, when I was in college, I was harassed by loan sharks and forced to drop out. I was pointed at by classmates who didn't understand. I don't want to leave here."

My sister expressed her concerns and why she didn't want to leave.

Indeed, the situation at that time was too cruel for a girl.

It is completely understandable that it left a shadow in his heart.

"Besides, brother, if you go to visit some friends, it would be a bit of a nuisance for me to follow you around, right?"

My sister saw that I didn't say anything, and then continued.

"I'll be fine in the village. Didn't you see how I hid? There's no need to worry."

My sister said these things because she wanted to stay in this village.

At the same time, she was afraid that I would be embarrassed, so she advised me in the same way.

"Okay, don't worry so much, I'll help you arrange it."

I rubbed my sister's head and said in a doting manner.

I went to my second uncle's house and then took him to the town for dinner.

"Second Uncle, are there many people from our village working outside the village?"

I looked at the second uncle and asked like this.

"There is a lot of money to be made outside, so there are hardly any young people left to farm in the village."

The second uncle sighed and said this.

“Like this.”

I thought about it and originally thought that since we were returning to the village, my sister would need someone to protect her, so I should hire a bodyguard.

Instead of spending money on others, it is better to use the strong men in the village, after all, they know you well.

The money also fell into their hands, and the benefits were kept within the family.

After listening to my explanation, the second uncle slapped his head and said that he had a nephew who was doing this and could serve as a bridge in the middle.

"Then trouble you."

After hearing what the second uncle said, I also toasted him with a glass of wine.

"If your parents could see..."

At this point, the second uncle realized that he had said too much and slapped himself on the mouth:

"Look, my mouth won't talk when I drink too much..."

"Second uncle, it's all in the wine."

I stopped the second uncle, then tilted my head back and drank the wine in one gulp.

When the second uncle saw me like this, he followed me.

I don’t know how much he drank, but the second uncle was sent back by Ading.

As Ading was an outsider and had to drive, he naturally didn't drink as much as he wanted.

The house in the village was too shabby. There was no way the three of us could live there no matter what.

So I just stayed in a small hotel in the town, which was relatively cheap.

I almost had an accident while staying in the hotel.

"You three, one room?"

The boss lady saw that something was wrong with us and was about to make a phone call.

"Huh? Wrong, hi, there are two rooms."

When I saw the boss lady’s actions, I immediately realized something was wrong.

This time it’s not just Ading and me, my sister is here too.

Two men and one woman in one room is indeed a bit suspicious.

The boss lady’s action instantly sobered me up.

"She, my sister."

The landlady later heard that I asked for two rooms and then gave up the idea of ​​calling the police.

"Young man, let me tell you, this is a serious place. You can't do anything illegal!"

After the proprietress told us the room number, she still sounded a little worried.

"I know, I know."

I let my sister sleep in a room by herself, and Ading and I shared a room.

Since Ading doesn’t have a domestic ID card, he naturally cannot check into a room alone, which is a troublesome thing.

Of course, my ID card has expired, so I am using a temporary one. It will take some time for the new one to arrive.

Silent all night.

The next day, I met the nephew of the second uncle. The young man was very honest and simple, and his kung fu was also quite good.

I asked for six bodyguards. After all, there were quite a few people coming to collect debts. If I didn't have more, I would probably be beaten.

What can we say about things like loan sharking? People who come to collect debts have to swallow their anger even if they are beaten. There is no way to call the police.

Only after I had arranged this matter did I feel relieved.

"Brother, you don't have to be like this."

When my sister heard the price we reached, she pulled me out and said this.

"You are my last relative in the world. How can I not cherish you?"

I was silent for a while and answered like this.

As for Jiang Qing, just treat him as if he were dead.

When my sister heard me say this, she didn't say anything else.

"Here's the card. There's some money in it. Spend it."

I took out a bank card, handed it to my sister, and said in a somewhat arrogant tone.

My sister shook her head and wanted to refuse, but I stuffed it directly into her hand.

"Are you looking down on me?"

I saw that my sister still wanted to change the bank card back, so I glared at her and said.

Only then did my sister not stuff it back into my hand.

After I bought my sister a mobile phone and were able to keep in touch with her, I looked at Ading who was looking in the mirror.

"Okay, let's go. You're almost laughing your ass off."

I looked at Ading's mouth, which was harder to suppress than AK's, and couldn't help but say it jokingly.

"Hey, Brother Bai, it's a bit unkind of you to say that. When you first came back, weren't you also dressed up carefully?"

When Ading heard me say this, he responded somewhat unconvinced.

"Okay, okay, you can take pictures as you like, right? I have no objection, you can take pictures until tomorrow."

When I heard Ading say this, I was completely speechless.

"No need to take a photo. Let's just leave it like this. Let's go."

When Ading heard me say this, he also sat in the driver's seat and said this to me.

I gave my sister a few more instructions, telling her not to forget to call me if anything happened.

"Where are we going?"

I looked at Ading who was driving and asked like this.

"Northeast China, Heilongjiang."

Ading and Jiang Yan have already agreed on a place, so it will be easier to find them when the time comes.

"Heilongjiang..."

I opened my phone and did a search. It seemed that Mohe was in Heilongjiang.

At this time, I also thought of my junior high school classmate, Xiaoli.

Thinking about what she said to me back then, no matter what she is like now, I have to meet her, right?

On November 2022, 11, snowflakes began to fall from the sky as we headed north.

To be honest, for people in the south, it is quite rare to see snowflakes.

At this time, Ading and I realized that we seemed to have overlooked something.

Yes, that's right, warm clothes...
