Northern Myanmar: Years of Dehumanization

The car started to drive, but my heart was not at ease. I was still thinking about the time I finished the shuttle.

It seems really good.

The recoil of the AK submachine gun makes my hands tremble now, telling me that what just happened was not a dream.

Is the soldier who came with us dead or alive?

"Okay, look at how hopeless you are, give me the money back."

Brother Chun glanced at me who was in shock, curled his lips, and asked me to hand over the AK submachine gun to him.

After he reminded me like this, I realized that the AK submachine gun was in my hand!

My hand can clearly feel the touch of the submachine gun. Brother Chun is driving. If I can snatch the bullets from him now...

"I advise you not to have any ideas. I don't have a gun in my hand, but it's more than enough to deal with you."

"Also, do you think you can escape if you rob me? Let me tell you, after the curfew in the town, people like you will definitely be beaten to death."

Brother Chun had a sneer on his lips, and his eyes were extremely sharp, so sharp that he seemed to be able to see my mental activities.

I thought for a while, then took off the AK submachine gun and gave it back to Brother Chun.

Although I don't believe what Brother Chun said later, I believe what he said before.

Because I saw Leng Feng subduing the fierce-looking man with my own eyes, whether he had practiced it or not.

I am not arrogant enough to believe that I can subdue Brother Chun.

I do have some regrets in my heart. If I hadn't empty the bullets in this gun just now, maybe I could still proceed as I wanted.

There are risks in this place. Is it safe in the park?

It's better to go out with a gun, and add Brother Chun's military uniform, maybe...

However, all this must be based on the fact that there are bullets in the gun. If there are no bullets, it is better not to talk nonsense.

"I guess you are a sensible person."

Brother Chun took the AK submachine gun with one hand and glanced at me from the corner of his eye.

When we were completely out of the crisis, Brother Chun stopped the car, took out a lighter, and lit a cigarette for himself:

"Wait until you go back and nothing happens. If anyone asks you about the whereabouts of that soldier, just say you don't know."

"As for his whereabouts, I will make it up, understand?"

After Brother Chun finished speaking, he put a cigarette in his mouth and loaded the gun with bullets.

"I can understand, are you begging me?"

I squinted my eyes and stared at Brother Chun next to me.

What is there to say?

Suffocating the bold to death is like starving to death the timid.

Brother Chun asked me to hide the truth of the matter, which shows that I want to expose it and it will be detrimental to him.

So can I threaten him with this matter?

Sure enough, when Brother Chun heard what I said, he stopped loading bullets in his hand, his expression became gloomy, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"Are you threatening me? Do you believe I will kill you too?"

"You don't dare. Besides, if you wanted to kill me, you didn't need to remind me just now. If I die, Brother Liu won't let you go, right?"

I squinted my eyes and decided to take a gamble. I bet that Brother Chun wouldn't dare to kill me!

I bet Diao Peng's instructions to that Brother Liu are very important, and that Brother Liu doesn't want me to die.

"Fuck! What a boy, you are actually a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

Brother Chun's face was gloomy, he slapped the steering wheel of the car angrily, and couldn't help but curse.

"Brother Chun, give me a cigarette."

I looked at the irritable Brother Chun and thought that I had made the right bet. Then I had a lot more control here.

Brother Chun made no reply in a muffled voice. He moved his hands very honestly and took a cigarette to me.

"I don't have a lighter here either."

I touched my pants pocket and pretended there was no lighter.

"Fuck! Don't make me angry by glaring at me. I will bury you with you."

Brother Chun cursed angrily and pretended to take action.

"Brother Chun, what are you doing? I don't want to die yet, I just want to borrow a lighter from you."

I pretended to be surprised and took a step back.

In fact, what I meant just now was to ask him to light a cigarette for me, but this way I can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.

Brother Chun gave me a meaningful look, and then handed over the lighter in his hand.

I lit the cigarette, took a puff, and then blew it out.

"Brother Chun, I heard that there were very few people coming out of the mine in the past. Why are so many coming this time?"

I narrowed my eyes. I finally became smart again, but I had to take advantage of it.

"You're asking this, tsk, didn't you hear the gunfire last night? That was from the Wei family."

"This time, we stopped them, but they did it last time. All the mining slaves were snatched away. New slaves can't be transported so quickly, so we can only use you first."

Brother Chun took a deep breath, suppressed his irritable mood as much as possible, and told me the reason.

"Then according to what you said, we can go back when the new slaves arrive?"

My eyes lit up. According to Brother Chun, we can really go back to the park.

"Well, of course, your value in the park has not been squeezed out yet. If you can create wealth, of course it will not turn you into cheap slaves."

"However, if there is no performance, he will probably be sent back soon."

Brother Chun nodded, answered my question, and continued to load bullets into the gun.

"Brother Chun, will the Wei family you mentioned still call in?"

Thinking of Brother Chun saying that the Wei family came in and captured all the slaves, I couldn't help but ask.

"Probably not. After all, the top management is also negotiating on this aspect, and we have increased our troops here. This iron ore is very important, and the Liu family probably won't let it go."

Brother Chun frowned, obviously annoyed by my questions.

After I saw it, I consciously didn't ask any more questions. I sat in the passenger compartment and stayed there honestly.

Now that I have Brother Chun's handle, my days here will probably be much easier.

"Remember what I just told you..."

Brother Chun told me again, then raised his eyebrows, as if he thought of something:

"If you have any difficulties, I will help you solve them if I can."

After Brother Chun finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and started the car.

This sentence also reflects that Brother Chun agreed to this deal.

I helped him keep this secret, and he helped me solve some things, the best of both worlds.

I squinted my eyes and was relatively satisfied with the deal.

It’s not enough to just be passively beaten all the time. You have to learn to actively look for it.

……

Driving back to the trenches, it was already afternoon and I missed lunch.

It was actually quite good. Although I encountered some dangers when I went out, there were no accidents.
