Chapter 953 That is a great cause
Kasin and his friends' story is actually not complicated. With the help of Khedira, he found Li Yue's whereabouts, and then used the simplest and most direct method to pursue Li Yue: he bought a "Black Star" and embarked on a journey with Li Yue.
What is the "Black Star"? It's the Changjiang 750 motorcycle, commonly known as the "Three-Cai Zi" motorcycle in China. It was a replica of the BMW R71 motorcycle.
This motorcycle was once a status symbol in China. Decades ago, riding a Changjiang 750 was as eye-catching as driving a Lamborghini or Ferrari today. But it fell into decline, and production was discontinued for about two decades. Many young Chinese people's first impression of the Changjiang 750 stems from its appearance in anti-Japanese dramas—where the Japanese soldiers were often seen riding it. In reality, those people didn't ride Changjiang 750s back then. They used "Luwang" motorcycles, with the cargo bed on the left, not the right.
But now it has regained its "second spring", and the biggest contributor to its resurgence is actually Europe.
Europeans are particularly fond of this car. The trademark of Changjiang 750 that has been re-registered in Europe is called "Black Star". The price is extremely high. A new one costs more than 10,000 euros, which is definitely a "high-end product".
After their trip to Ireland, Li Yue was planning to return home, but Kasim got anxious, asking, "What am I going to do if you return?" So he suggested Africa, which Li Yue liked, so they headed to Spain, then to Ceuta and finally Morocco, where they began their motorcycle trip.
At first, everything was fine in Morocco, but when they arrived in Western Sahara, they slept in a tent as usual, but they were kidnapped not long after they slept.
The kidnappers had been targeting them for several days, and the reason they kidnapped them was actually because of Li Yue’s clothing!
Li Yue's outfit was actually quite ordinary: jeans, sneakers, a small tank top underneath, and a denim jacket outside. She usually wore the denim jacket to protect herself from the wind and sand when riding her motorcycle. If she stopped and thought it was quite warm, she would take it off and tie it around her waist, leaving only the tank top on.
It turns out that the problem lies with this little suspender: although Morocco is an MSL country, it has been colonized by France for a long time, so it is relatively open. Although some people may not be satisfied with Li Yue's outfit, there is basically no problem.
But in Western Sahara, this isn't acceptable. Although they're also under Moroccan rule, the religious atmosphere is more conservative, and women wear headscarves and abayas. (By the way, Western Saharans, both men and women, particularly love the color blue. They wear blue robes, use blue clothing, and decorate their homes, earning them the nickname "Blue Men.")
In their eyes, such shorts were simply "indecent." So the two were kidnapped. Although Kasim was quite skilled, he was no match for the numerous armed criminals. Kasim initially thought they were after money, but they took away both the man and the car. They found a lot of cash on Kasim and thought they were kidnapping two wealthy men for ransom.
During this period, Li Yue was almost raped.
In the eyes of these religious extremists, wearing a suspender, like Li Yue's, is essentially telling them: "I'm a prostitute, come and 'save' me!" Many incidents of refugees raping European women in Europe, with those refugees seemingly unaware of their actions, stem from this very fact.
If Kaxin hadn't calmed them down in time and said that he would definitely bring a lot of money, Li Yue would probably be in great danger.
Kasim told them that he would contact someone to pay the ransom to keep them stable, and then in the middle of the night he broke free from his restraints and escaped with Li Yue, but was discovered and chased after.
If they hadn't met Xiao Peng, the consequences for the two of them would be unimaginable.
Li Yue said angrily, "Xiao Peng, you don't know, what they said almost pissed me off! In their eyes, if women wear revealing clothes, it's the root of crime. If women don't cover themselves tightly enough, don't blame men for committing crimes! What kind of thinking is that!"
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "There are so many people like this! Isn't it the same in China? Every time a girl is assaulted, there are people saying similar things. Just a few days ago, a female college student working in a bar was murdered by a drunk. As a result, many people targeted the victim, saying that working in a bar is what you deserve... How twisted must these people be to say such things? Others bind their feet, but they bind their brains!"
Li Yue nodded desperately!
Kasin said on the side: "If we believe in God, there will be no such nonsense!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng gave him the middle finger: "Kasin, you know what? Wearing headscarves is a trend started by you guys!"
Kasim was stunned: "What does it have to do with us?"
Xiao Peng explained: "Don't think that wearing a headscarf is a symbol of Muslims now, but in fact, it was first popularized by Europeans. On ancient Greek clay pots from more than 2,500 years ago, you can see decorative paintings of women wearing long robes and headscarves. According to the sayings at that time, wearing a headscarf was a sacred expression. In the Assyrian Empire, only people of noble status could wear a headscarf. People of humble origins were not qualified to wear a headscarf! The Babylonian Code even stipulated that married women must wear a headscarf, otherwise it would be a crime! Later, when the Roman Empire rose, Catholicism "I'm begging Christian women to wear headscarves during festivals, covering only their eyes. This is a sign of piety! According to 1 Corinthians, 'But if a woman prays or judges with her head uncovered, she dishonors her head, for it is the same as if she had shaved it.' Look, this is just a cover-up!" Even Judaism and other religions have related stripes. It wasn't until the founding of Islam in 610 AD that some Arab women in the Middle East began wearing headscarves. This is just leftover from you! I told you to study hard, but you didn't listen. Now you know how shameful it is, don't you?"
Kasim coughed dryly. "Boss, give me some face! But why are you here? Aren't you going to the South Atlantic Anomaly? Where's our ship? Why are you driving a UN peacekeeping force vehicle?"
Xiao Peng explained, "Both ships are working. The Calypso is searching for shipwrecks, and the Luna is catching illegal fishermen! I'm going to Namibia by myself."
"Catch illegal fishing?" Kasim became even more confused after hearing this.
Xiao Peng told Kaxin what had happened recently. Kaxin's eyes lit up: "Black eating black! Oh, I didn't get involved in such a fun thing!"
Xiao Peng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Screw your thug-on-thug mentality! We're doing a great cause!"
