Chapter 471 Transformed into an Emotional Anchor Female Friends 26
The expectations of the Zhang sisters and brothers were soon dashed.
After getting off the plane, Jiang Lan rented a car and headed directly to the destination.
"Sister Hua and Xizhong, go get a driver's license after you go back, so that it will be much more convenient to travel."
"Okay, okay." Zhang Xizhong agreed very happily.
"Jiang Lan, the money for driving lessons can be deducted from our wages. We can't let you pay for everything."
"It's okay, it's all small money."
Although she said so, Jiang Lan was still quite satisfied with Zhang Xihua's attitude. It's a matter of
gratitude and resentment, whether there is money or not is a trivial matter, but she doesn't want to raise two ungrateful people.
The car drove for more than 2 hours and was getting closer and closer to the destination.
Zhang Xizhong felt like there were thorns under his buttocks. He was extremely uneasy and twisted from time to time.
"Xizhong, do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Zhang Xizhong quickly explained: "No, no, I was just wondering why your helper hasn't shown up yet, Jiang Lan..."
"What helper?" Jiang Lan was surprised.
"My helpers are you two, there is no other helper."
Zhang Xihua and Zhang Xizhong were both shocked. They didn't expect Jiang Lan to be so brave.
"Just us? Will this work?"
Zhang Xizhong was a little desperate and suggested: "Why don't I call some people over first..."
"Don't worry, everything is under control."
The Zhang siblings were at a loss. They looked at each other, made up their minds, and decided to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman.
The closer we get to our destination, the harder it is to drive on this road. The road is full of potholes and extremely bumpy.
"What kind of place is this? How come it's worse than our hometown? At least the roads in our hometown are pretty flat..."
"Wasn't it repaired in the past few years? The road was also very bad before. You got stuck in the mud when you were a kid."
Jiang Lan stuck his head out of the car window and looked at the road.
"The road below is getting narrower and narrower, and the mud on this road is too thick. If we keep driving like this, the tires will probably get stuck in the mud."
"How about we get out of the car? Walk in?"
Jiang Lan pulled the car over, and everyone got out and started walking.
Fortunately, the distance was not very far. After walking a few hundred meters, they saw the village not far away and suddenly felt a little excited.
Zhang Xihua said with emotion: "We're here, finally."
Zhang Xizhong complained with pain: "My shoes are useless, but these are my best shoes."
"How good are they?"
"This is the Gou Gou brand my buddy gave me, it's a rare item."
Jiang Lan told him with great regret: "Your Gou Gou brand is fake, the genuine Gou doesn't look like this."
"Ah!" Zhang Xizhong screamed.
Zhang Xihua laughed without hesitation: "Hahahaha, you idiot still treat me like a treasure, I knew those people wouldn't be so kind."
Zhang Xizhong naturally didn't doubt Jiang Lan's words, but he felt a little embarrassed to wear fakes.
"It's okay, let's throw away these fake shoes after we go out, and I'll buy you a new pair, limited edition."
After all the trouble, Zhang Xizhong felt like he had made a profit.
"Jiang Jie, you are my real sister, and you will be my real sister from now on."
"You kid... you really are the mother of your children."
Zhang Xihua gave a "big pussy" to his "beloved" little brother.
"Everyone, be careful when entering the village, especially Xizhong, remember not to talk nonsense."
After Jiang Lan finished speaking, the Zhang siblings remained silent for a moment.
In broad daylight, there were not many people wandering around in the village, and Jiang Lan and his friends took the initiative to knock on the door of one of the houses.
An old woman opened the door. She looked at the young people and asked them what they wanted in the local dialect.
The Zhang siblings were confused. They really didn't understand, but they didn't dare to speak.
"Auntie, we are looking for Tian Baobao."
The old lady seemed to not understand Mandarin, and continued to speak in dialect, while gesturing with her hands.
The southern dialect is really no different from the Book of Heaven. If you can't understand it, you really can't understand it.
Just when Jiang Lan was at a loss, several dialect translators appeared in the Star Interstellar Live Room.
[She said that Tian Baobao is at the house at the west end of the village, but he may not be at home during the day and go out to work. ]
[This is the language of ethnic minorities, it is normal for the anchor to not understand it. ]
[There are many talents in our live room. There should not be many people who can speak this language now. ]
After Jiang Lan thanked the old lady, he took the Zhang siblings to the west end of the village.
"Sister Jiang, you can understand this dialect that is almost the same as the Japanese language? You are really awesome."
Jiang Lan smiled calmly. Although she didn't know it, she had a plug-in. Rounding it off, it was equivalent to her knowing it herself.
Tian Baobao's house is easy to find. It's just a run-down little house at the west end of the village, and there aren't even any neighbors nearby.
"This house is really..." Zhang Xizhong grinned.
"If you're not poor, can you buy a wife? Only the poorest and worst families in our place buy wives from outside."
Jiang Lan walked to the door, picked up the iron ring on the door and knocked on it. After knocking for a long time, no one responded, so she could only ask loudly.
"Is anyone there? Is this Tian Baobao's house?"
About 2 minutes later, a woman in simple clothes came over and opened the door for them.
But she was very defensive and chose to open the door a little wider instead of opening the whole door.
"Who are you looking for?"
The woman looked alert and asked, "Why are we looking for Tian Baobao?"
"We are her friends..."
Before Jiang Lan finished speaking, the door slammed shut.
"Tian Baobao is not here. You are in the wrong place. Hurry up and leave. Don't stand at my door."
The Zhang siblings looked at each other, undecided for a moment.
"Did we really find the wrong place?"
"But there is only one family here. Could it be that the old lady at the head of the village deceived us?"
Jiang Lan had a completely different idea from them. She was sure that this was Tian Baobao's home.
And the female compatriot who opened the door just now was very likely the person who was abducted and sold here.
"Jiang Lan, what should we do? Should we look somewhere else?"
"No need to look, it's right here, and there's a high probability that this person is the one we're looking for, there's no mistake."
Zhang Xihua and Zhang Xizhong looked confused, why didn't they figure it out?
"Most people in the village speak dialects, which can be seen from the old lady at the entrance of the village chatting with the villagers passing by, and this person speaks the same language as us."
Zhang Xizhong patted his head and exclaimed: "Yes, it is really like this."
"It is normal for young people in the village to speak Mandarin, but people over 50 years old can speak Mandarin so naturally without too much dialect accent. Do you think they are locals?"
Zhang Xihua asked: "Then how can the old lady at the entrance of the village understand Mandarin?"
"It is normal to understand. How can you watch TV if you don't understand?"
Language is a skill that can be learned. As long as you are in the right environment, it is not too difficult to understand and learn.
The promotion of Mandarin can be thanked to television and the popularization of education.
"What should we do now?"
The group came here to help, but they were rejected by the people. They couldn't just go home like this.
