An Moxue followed them all the way, watching Lao Hei and the others enter the village on the other side of the river, and then they didn't show themselves again.
As darkness fell, An Moxue secretly sneaked into the village. This village, unlike other nomadic villages in Mongolia, was a settled place with a large population.
An Moxue eavesdropped outside the tents where various groups of people were active, absorbing useful information.
Finally, An Moxue stopped outside Lao Hei's group's tent.
Based on the information gathered that night, An Moxue was certain that Lao Hei's group was a complete human smuggling ring. They could even forge identities on both sides, especially on the Mongolian side, where they were able to obtain valid legal status, which was quite remarkable.
An Moxue wanted to obtain a legal Mongolian identity in case of unforeseen circumstances.
So, An Moxue knocked on the door of Lao Hei's tented room again.
When Lao Hei saw An Moxue, he was greatly shocked, but he didn't show it on his face. He even said to An Moxue warmly, "Friend, you are really amazing. We all thought you had been captured by the border guards."
“No, Brother Lao Hei, I’ve always been here, I just showed up now.” As he spoke, An Mo casually took out a gold bar from his pocket and handed it to Lao Jin.
"Well, payment settled. Brother Lao Hei, would you be interested in discussing a new deal?"
Old Hei was also intimidated by An Moxue's imposing manner and said, "Friend, why don't we change the tent and talk in detail?"
"Can."
......
Five days later, An Moxue had a legal Mongolian identity—Abaganar Gydor—and was a noblewoman. She was currently on a train bound for Oseri.
An Moxue was dressed in traditional Mongolian clothing, adorned with precious turquoise and agate jewelry. The dzi bead on her necklace was clearly very valuable, and the ring on her hand was so large it was dazzling.
Here, An Moxue dressed herself up as an arrogant and rude noble lady.
At this moment, she was sitting on the dining car, using the Mongolian she had just learned to use in the past few days to criticize the food on the dining car.
"Waiter, this cheese isn't fresh, and this lamb isn't tender either. Is it lamb from the Small-tailed Han sheep? You're not trying to fool me, are you? And these bowls and plates, the porcelain is so ugly."
“My esteemed lady, I assure you that the cheese and lamb are absolutely fresh. This is the VIP compartment, reserved for distinguished guests like yourself. How could we possibly cheat you?” The waiter bowed and said humbly to An Moxue.
She silently complained to herself, "Which family's young lady is this? Why is she so picky?"
First they complained about the poor accommodation conditions and the fact that the bedding wasn't new; now they're complaining about the food.
Oh no, you shouldn't eat it!
Eating while complaining, that's really something else.
She rolled her eyes silently in a secluded spot, thinking that An Moxue couldn't see her, but in fact An Moxue saw everything clearly.
An Moxue was secretly overjoyed. This identity was excellent, and the gold bars hadn't been wasted.
Look at her now, with her noble status, even if she's bossy, the waiters have to put up with her. Very good!
As the old saying goes, money makes the world go round; the ancients were right!
An Moxue acted arrogantly in the dining car, making herself comfortable and silencing the waitress, before leisurely getting up and returning to her sleeper berth on the train.
She took off her shoes, got into her sleeper berth, and started catching up on sleep.
When An Moxue woke up, she felt refreshed. Looking at the scenery outside the window, she knew that the train had arrived in Russia.
She wondered whether to take the train or a car for the next leg of her journey.
Just as An Moxue was lost in thought, the train arrived at its final stop. An Moxue packed her things, carrying a small leather suitcase that looked very expensive, and got off the train.
After the inspection, An Moxue stepped off the platform and looked around at the blond-haired, blue-eyed people. She was filled with emotion. She had finally overcome countless difficulties to reach Osiri. Her next destination was Puda Prefecture, where she would find her contact person.
An Moxue stepped off the train platform and took out the activity funds Xu Qingfeng had given her. Looking at the pitifully small amount of money, barely enough to keep her from starving in Russia, An Moxue wanted to curse.
She took the money, hired a car, went to the best hotel in town, and checked into a luxury suite.
In the luxury suite, An Moxue enjoyed exquisite food, with her butler and assistant attending to her.
An Moxue was eating while learning about the situation here.
"Kanalin, what should I do if I want to exchange some local currency?"
“Dear Miss Abaganal, I can go to the bank for you, or I can take you there, as long as you bring your identification.”
"Oh, Kanalin, you can just call me Gido. I'd like to buy some clothes and shoes, where should I go?"
“Okay, Miss Giddo, I can be your guide too.”
"Oh! Dear Kanalin, you are so lovely, you have been a great help to me. I'll leave the rest of the trip to you." An Moxue expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
Kanalin's lips curled up. This lady was so generous. As soon as she checked in, she gave her a tip equivalent to a day's wages. She believed that as long as Kanalin met all her requests, she would definitely give her a generous tip in return.
After dinner, accompanied by Kanalin, An Moxue went to the bank to exchange gold for currency. She then went to the most famous shopping mall in the area and bought several outfits and shoes. Seeing that jewelry was so cheap at the time, An Moxue bought a few pieces of jewelry to match her new clothes.
Back at the hotel, An Moxue inquired in detail about transportation from Kanalin to Kada State. She learned that there were direct flights that took just over an hour, but there was only one flight a day. Today's flight had already taken off, so An Moxue asked Kanalin to help her book a flight for the next day.
And so, the funds Xu Qingfeng gave her were all used up by An Moxue on the first day, and it still wasn't enough.
Kanalin left An Moxue's suite with a generous tip, feeling quite satisfied. She thought to herself, "If this happened every day, I would absolutely love this job."
An Moxue was also marveling at the allure of money, thinking about how much time and effort it saved her.
The next day, An Moxue checked out of the hotel and left with a reluctant look from Kanalin. Carrying her suitcase, she went to the airport wearing the clothes and shoes she had bought the day before and boarded a plane to Puda.
On the plane, everything looked new and exciting to An Moxue; in her eyes, the plane was like an antique.
This was An Moxue's first time flying here. She was very excited to finally experience the convenience of transportation again. She was relieved that she no longer had to travel in a cramped and uncomfortable way. Compared to the high cost of the plane ticket, An Moxue didn't think it was a big deal.
In both her lives, the one thing she never lacked was money.
