[Military Text] Special Era

Chapter [-]

Luang Prabang, the Buddhist capital for thousands of years, may be poor, backward and sparsely populated, but as long as you see those magnificent temples and pagodas and enjoy the leisurely and peaceful life, maybe you will change your opinion.

Wen Rui took the travel brochure and drove through this small ancient city in a pickup truck all the way.Zu Shaoyou and Huang Quan were by his side, Shi Binda leaned in front, Pei Zhe was carefully waited on, and the group stayed in the car until the special pickup truck stopped at the door of a nice-looking hotel.

Luang Prabang is a tourist attraction with many tourists, and its hardware facilities are naturally much better than Luang Namtha.After getting off the car, Wen Rui looked around, and there were chic and beautiful street lamps everywhere, small western-style buildings with French characteristics, and resplendent temples.According to the boss, every night market, this lazy city will be more lively than during the day. The stalls are full of dazzling products, and the local handmade paper lanterns dot the city like stars falling from the mortal world, just like the hands of Wen Rui. this one.

Pei Zhe was awake but pretended to be asleep, Wen Rui knew he didn't want to see Shi Bingda.Shi Binda carried him into the hotel with his own hands. He closed his eyes, seemingly ignoring the struggle.

"Heh." Zu Shaoyou suddenly let out a chuckle, which aroused Wen Rui's sideways glance. "Go to the night market at night." Zu Shaoyou extended an invitation to Wen Rui.The night market is too far away from Wenrui, and I have never been to it when I was in China. Now that I am in a foreign country, I have the leisure time to visit the night market, which is really unimaginable.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zu, you'd better not go anywhere." Before Shi Binda could express his opinion, Scar Man had already spoken for him.

Shi Binda carried Pei Zhe up to the third floor. Two big men stood guard at the door and did not show up all night.

"Doctor Huang, Boss, please come over." Zu Shaoyou's interest was swept away, Scar Man seemed to be in a cheerful mood, and his coldness when facing Huang Quan was much less than before.

"I got it." Huang Quan was very calm, nodded slightly under Wen Rui's surprised gaze, and then followed Shi Binda under Zu Shaoyou's cold stare. Similarly, he never appeared again throughout the night.

This hotel is called Lancang, which is the "Lancang" of the "Lancang River". On the wall is a portrait of King Faang. King Faang is the first king in Laos history to rule the entire Laos region.Wen Rui stood in front of the portrait of King Faang for a long time. The founding monarch of a powerful kingdom is always easy for future generations to remember, because they worship such a great era, just like the Han Dynasty that the Chinese always talk about. Tang Shengshi.

"What are you looking at?" Zu Shaoyou stroked his chin.

Wen Rui glanced at him, "King Fa'ang."

"The country that flourished in the Indochina Peninsula in the [-]th century? Unfortunately, it is only a small country after all. Theravada Buddhism helps people, and Mahayana Buddhism helps people. It is not as good as our Han and Tang Dynasties." Zu Shaoyou said lazily.

Wen Rui glanced at him again, paused, his eyes slightly appreciative, "I didn't expect that you, a foreigner, have a certain understanding of Asian history and culture."

It seems that the real Zu Shaoyou is not an embroidered pillow.

"However, let me correct you. You are an American. That was our prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties. If China can't be strong, who will recognize the prosperous times we once had, remember them, and often laugh at them, isn't it? Isn't it our tragic modern history?" Wen Rui stared at Zu Shaoyou.

"There is something in your words." Zu Shaoyou slightly raised his eyebrows, and the smile between his eyebrows was a bit uninhibited, "Do you want to say that the current government is so powerful that the world will forget the China that was once slaughtered by others? You are too confident."

"Maybe it's not good enough." Wen Rui said seriously: "But we have been working hard."

"Hehe." Zu Shaoyou sneered, "You have been brainwashed too thoroughly. Of course, I will not forget your identity." Speaking of this, Shi Binda's men had already walked towards the portrait of King Fa'ang.Zu Shaoyou snorted, hooked Wen Rui's neck and kissed, those big men stopped in their tracks, some of their mouths opened into an O shape, and their faces were colorful.

"Next time, please change your method." Wen Rui took a breath, resisting the urge to punch Zu Shaoyou, and was dragged into the room by the other party.

Night fell quickly, and the night in Luang Prabang was really lively.

Scar Man opened the door, wearing a light-colored tennis shirt, with sallow skin, a short waiter brought curry beef and glutinous rice, asked for a tip in fluent Chinese, and left with a smile in his trouser pocket.

In the room, Huang Quan whispered to Pei Zhe from time to time, but the other party didn't respond.Shi Binda remained silent, sitting aside like an old monk in meditation. "What are they doing?" After a long time, Shi Binda raised his chin and asked indifferently.

Scar Man quickly replied, "In the room, I sent four people to monitor them."

This conversation did not avoid Huang Quan at all, Huang Quan thought, he was not so stupid as to think that Shi Binda trusted him very much.

"Oh." Shi Binda nodded.

"Boss?" Scar Man hesitated to speak.

"Once that kid has thoughts, you can't stop him." Shi Binda crossed his legs, folded his hands on his knees, and said slowly: "If you don't believe me, go to their room now."

Huang Quan's temples throbbed and he smacked his lips.The scar man was stunned for a moment, then he turned around and walked out.

Again, Luang Prabang is the thousand-year-old Buddhist capital, surrounded by mountains, where poverty and luxury coexist, and only the pagoda records the glory of the past.Similarly, there are no flashing neon lights here, only the bright sun, moon and stars; there is no vanity of a bustling city, only Theravada Buddhism infiltrated into the blood of the ancient city.

"How about it, is it right?" Zu Shaoyou turned his head, and the paper lantern cast a golden red gleam on his handsome face.

Wen Rui stood by the Mekong River, holding his breath and concentrating, as if a slight sigh would destroy the beautiful scenery in front of him.

This is not a night market, so naturally it doesn't have the noise of a night market.Farther from the banks of the Mekong River, there are countless dense rainforests, where beautiful tamarind trees and buttercups grow, and there are also villages of ethnic minorities.I don't know what day it is today, but someone hung diamond-shaped paper lanterns on the river bank, and the orange fire flickered like a soft golden light flowing in the dark night.

"Didn't you say to go to the night market?" Wen Rui smiled half-smile, squatted down, and stretched his hands into the river.The Mekong River is the sixth largest river in the world. The cool water of the river will swallow everything on both sides of the river during the rainy season.

"The Mekong River used to be the royal channel of Laos and also the mother river of this country. I think you will like the beautiful scenery." Zu Shaoyou smiled as if asking for credit.

"In China it is called the Lancang River, and its source is in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, just like the name of that hotel." Wen Rui turned his face to look up at Zu Shaoyou, "Have you ever been to Qinghai and Tibet?" He should have been Of course, he refers to Zu Tiange.As a soldier, Zu Tiange once went to Tibet to perform missions.

"I haven't been there. I'm a foreigner, you're discriminating against me." Zu Shaoyou also squatted down, reaching out to disturb the calm river, "What are you thinking?"

"Think of your purpose in bringing me here." Wen Rui responded lightly.

"Oh?" Zu Shaoyou got closer. During this period of time, he shaved his beard and used ancient dragon water. He had the air of a swinger all over his body. "It's just to make you happy. What's my purpose?"

Risking being misunderstood by Shi Binda and going down the window, avoiding four burly men and running to the Mekong River just to date a same-sex?Wen Rui smiled suddenly, his eyes shimmered with a faint light, if it was Zu Tiange, he would rather believe it.

"You don't believe me? I'm serious." Zu Shaoyou swore as if he had really made a promise.

Wen Rui just laughed, without saying a word.

"Wen Rui, stay with me." Zu Shaoyou's nose was about to touch Wen Rui's, and his eyes met.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Wen Rui turned his head away.

Zu Shaoyou smiled slightly and stepped back, "Of course I know, I will make you stop thinking about him."

"You like men?" Wen Rui squinted at Zu Shaoyou.

"For you, I'll give it a try." Zu Shaoyou pinched Wen Rui's chin, but instead of being as tender as he imagined, his finger was slapped off.

"I'm not interested in you." There was a hint of helplessness in Wen Rui's dark eyes.What is this called, Zu Shaoyou, you are Zu Tiange, you just don't know it.

"Think about it." Zu Shaoyou played with the weeds by the river with his slender fingers, picked off a Zamba flower and handed it to Wen Rui, "I can give you a different world."

Different world?Wen Rui took the champa flower and admired it for a moment, then looked up at the rainforest in the distance.

There are streams and valleys in the rainforest, insects and birds are singing, and delicate flowers bloom all year round.A few hours later, the mountains in the early morning must be surrounded by clouds and mist, the mist blends with the morning sun, the old trees cover the sky, and the mottled sunlight falls together to piece together a world that belongs to the Buddha.However, under this mystery and beauty, there are dangers that ordinary people can't imagine.In my memory, the man was wearing a camouflage uniform, carrying an assault rifle that was incompatible with the beautiful scenery, smirking mischievously in the sun, and guarding the southern gate of the motherland with his life.

"Don't think about it." Wen Rui said in a low voice. "Have you seen ylang ylang? I like ylang ylang more than Champa." He returned the yellow flower to Zu Shaoyou, "I think you will like ylang ylang more."

Wen Rui refused flatly, but Zu Shaoyou was not angry.They sat side by side, each with their own thoughts, looking at the Mekong River flowing slowly in the night.

"I won't give up." After a long time, Zu Shaoyou turned his head and turned to Wen Rui's side face, "I want to find your weaknesses and break them one by one. I have a feeling that you can't let me go no matter what, maybe because I look like the guy you like, maybe because of something else."

"I'm sick." Wen Rui lowered his eyelids.Zu Shaoyou's intuition is very accurate, or he has behaved too much in the past few days, because he uses Zu Tiange's body, so he can't help but get close to him. other side.

Most of the night passed, and the two still stayed on the banks of the Mekong River.Zu Shaoyou didn't care what thoughts Shi Binda would have. In fact, he didn't think Shi Binda would have any thoughts.Along the way, they chose the worn-out pickup instead of the off-road vehicle that Shi Binda had always liked, which was completely inconsistent with his usual flamboyant style.Pei Zhe was his lover, Black had mentioned this before, but Zu Shaoyou had never met Pei Zhe, so he couldn't recognize Pei Zhe immediately.Not to mention that Shi Binda is now in a state of desperation because of Pei Zhe's affairs, he is so low-key, who is he actually afraid of?Luang Prabang is just a stop for them to rest, and the place Shi Binda wants to go to in the end should be Vientiane.

"Wen Rui." Zu Shaoyou rarely called him by Wen Rui's full name, and it was even rarer after he came to Laos. "Although I can't fully stand on the side of the Chinese government, my life is still in your hands, and Red Dawn is also a big problem for me. Don't you want to help me?"

"It doesn't matter whether you help or not." Wen Rui stared at Zu Shaoyou, "I thought we were always in the same boat."

"Huang Quan doesn't think so."

"It's because you think too much." Wen Rui rubbed his eyebrows.No matter the government or your grandfather, everyone wants to bring you back to China safely, and I will not let you be alone in danger.

"Do you know that medicine has a sedative effect? ​​Every time I take it, my physical strength will recover, but my spirit is always poor."

medicine?Many things have happened since entering Laos. Wen Rui has not had time to understand the effect of the medicine that Huang Quan often takes Zu Shaoyou, but it should have the effect of controlling and regulating the spirit.

The two of them chatted one after another, and it was dawn in a blink of an eye.On the way back to the hotel, they saw the almsgiving monks wearing red cassocks winding forward in the morning light, surrounded by devout believers, and some tourists who got up early and came to take photos with the monks.

Zu Shaoyou squinted, staring at Wen Rui's back, with a determination in his heart.
