Chapter 185 Escape
After resting inside for about twenty minutes, Momo gritted her teeth and got up.
She knew she had to leave quickly, otherwise, once the man discovered she was gone, regardless of whether he saw through her deception or not, he wouldn't easily believe she had died so easily.
Then they will try every possible way to search for themselves.
If they were to be found, Momo couldn't even imagine how terrible things would get.
However, she didn't hold out much hope that Fu Yungui would actually believe her carefully laid scam. She was just trying to mislead him and buy herself some time.
She knew that even if he realized she was missing, he would assume she was going home and send people down the mountain to look for her.
But this time, she's going to do the opposite.
Go up the mountain and try to find Bian Xi first.
Because she can't leave Myanmar alone. If she is lucky enough to find him, then she will have a chance to leave this place.
Otherwise, she would definitely die here.
She didn't know how things were going with Bian Xi, but she knew he was no match for Fu Yungui. If she had known the news beforehand, at least she would have had a chance to escape.
Because she dared not take the main path, she always passed through the dense forest.
Fearing being located, they even threw their phones into the river.
So at this moment she was a little lost, but thankfully, as long as she kept climbing, she shouldn't stray too far from the right place.
At the end of the mountain lies Gageng Village, the only village here. Once inside, asking around should yield some information.
She overheard Fu Yungui mention that Bian Xi had a base in this village that morning.
Since there's a base, the villagers must know about it.
Momo walked with trepidation, fearing she might suddenly encounter bad people or poisonous snakes in the dense thicket.
Although she was wearing long pants, she was still so nervous that she broke out in a sweat as she peered out from the seemingly bottomless thicket of grass.
She was terrified that a snake would coil around her leg at any moment and then open its sharp teeth to bite her.
In a forest like this, it goes without saying that venomous snakes are an essential part of the environment.
We'll see if she's unlucky enough to run into someone like that.
If you are bitten, being trapped here means certain death.
The further the girl went, the more frightened she became.
In the dense forest, the tall, straight trees reach straight up to the sky, some nearly twenty meters high, making it almost impossible to breathe.
But the hope for freedom sustained her, allowing her to bravely move forward even when she felt afraid.
Only by moving forward can we have hope for freedom.
Fortunately, the dried mud was now covering his body, and his clothes were covered with a lot of river weeds. He was all dirty and looked no different from the people here.
It's even a bit more exaggerated.
So this is relatively safe; at least it doesn't look too conspicuous.
Disguised among the dense bushes, from above, she was indistinguishable from the surrounding weeds, as if she were wearing a ghillie suit.
Almost two hours later, Momo finally entered the village.
Looking out, the tea bushes are lush and green, shrouded in a thick mist after the morning's heavy rain, creating a serene scene.
A dozen or so people wearing straw hats were hunched over and busy inside.
Momo stood there warily and glanced at it.
Most of the people living in Gageng Village are Wa people who have lived a secluded life for generations. They mostly speak the Yunnan dialect.
Before the ban on drugs, people here had been growing poppies for generations, and every household relied on them for a living.
Now that drugs are banned, the poppy flowers that once covered the mountains are gone, replaced by tea trees that can be smelled in the breeze.
We also grow some vegetables and wheat.
However, the terrain and soil here are different from other places, so the yield of these crops is relatively low. Therefore, many families choose to plant tea trees instead.
Tea trees planted here yield a fairly considerable amount of tea, at least more than those crops, and the selling price is also much better, basically enough to support a family's daily living expenses.
Momo stood there for a while, hesitating whether to go up and ask the people who were busy with farming, when she saw a herd of cattle and sheep walking towards her from afar.
The little girls were shrouded in rain and mist, and Momo only noticed them when she got closer.
They were a few young girls who looked quite young.
He was thin and not very tall, and looked to be only about ten years old.
But they are quite beautiful, especially their eyes, which are as bright and clear as gemstones.
Momo looked at them, and they were also staring at Momo, scrutinizing her from top to bottom.
They seemed to have never seen her dressed like this before, their faces full of curiosity mixed with unfamiliar fear.
Momo also subconsciously looked down at herself. After climbing up from the bottom of the mountain, she was covered in sweat and now looked even dirtier and more disheveled.
They look even more pitiful than stray dogs on the street.
Momo smiled awkwardly at them, then casually asked, "Little friends, don't be afraid. I just wanted to ask if you've ever heard of Wenlai?"
She knew that this base belonged to Wenlai. Although she didn't know who Wenlai was, she knew that Bian Xi was now working for Wenlai.
Once we find Wenlai's base, we'll definitely be able to find Bianxi.
Upon hearing this, the girls looked tense and frightened, and immediately shook their heads at her.
Momo was a little disappointed, but she asked again, "Where's Xi over there?"
After asking the question, she suddenly remembered that Fu Yungui had called him Angji before.
She didn't know if this was Bian Xi's name in Myanmar, but just in case, she asked again, "It's also called Angki."
She was just repeating the name she had heard Fu Yungui say, without even knowing which two characters it was.
The girls shook their heads again and continued driving the cattle and sheep forward.
Seeing their timid looks, Momo didn't press the matter further and let them leave.
She also planned to walk forward a bit and ask someone else, but perhaps those girls were too young and had never heard of these people before.
Just then, the sound of cars came from the east. It sounded like there was more than one car. The girls had only taken a few steps when they quickly stopped, herded the cattle and sheep in front of them to the side, and protected them behind them. They lowered their heads and looked a little nervous.
Momo's gaze followed them, and then, after a cloud of smoke, she saw a car speeding towards them.
