The off-road vehicle sped up. Li Du asked, "Is this guy very powerful?"
Zhong Da Pao said, "He's backed by the government, but the government's goal is to take over all the assets left behind by the King of Old Korkant. If it's just him, I can do whatever I want to him!"
Li Du was shocked. "That can't be. The King of Old Korkant has been in business for more than half a century. Didn't he leave any talents for his children?"
Zhong Da Pao shook his head and smiled. "No, he left behind a lot of money, a lot of ore, and a lot of fields, but no talents. Back in Hpakant, the King relied on himself to support his family. So when he died, the whole family was done for."
Da Mao asked, "In that case, what do we have to be afraid of? I heard in Ruili that the King of Old Hpakant is like a tiger laying mice. His children are not very capable and have low emotional intelligence. "
Zhong Da Pao said, "Yes, that's it. That's why we're in danger. This kind of person will do anything if he's rash. Two years ago, when the guerrillas attacked Hpakant, it was because this idiot crippled the son of one of the guerrillas' generals. "
The road was relatively smooth. The Longken Field was only 30 kilometers away from the Chinese village. Even though the road conditions were bad, it only took them about 20 minutes to get back.
After getting out of the car, Zhong Da Pao called the merchants to send food, vegetables, meat, and other daily necessities. Liu Zi waved his hand, and an old man with a limp took off the loudspeaker on his back and blew it.
As the loudspeaker sounded, people rushed out from all the houses.
These people ranged in age from 14 or 15 to 70 or 80. When they came out, they carried knives, guns, and sticks. Then, they lowered the railings at the village entrance and piled up some sandbags. Some people hid behind them with guns.
Seeing this, Da Mao was shocked. "F * ck, Master Liu, are we going to war?"
Liu Zi glanced at him and said, "Hmph, it's just a precaution. Suo Nan's grandson is stupid. He can do anything stupid."
Da Mao said, "I think so. I heard that many of the descendants of the King of Old Hpakant were killed by the government, the guerrillas, and the field bosses because of their lawlessness."
Liu Zi reached out and patted his chest. "Now you know how much we have to pay to protect you, right? You're too ostentatious. You're already a piece of Tripitaka's meat. Everyone wants a bite. Without the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal protecting you, hmph! "
Da Mao understood what he meant. He quickly nodded and bowed and said, "Master Liu, I will help you choose the stones in the future. I will definitely work hard for you in the future."
Liu Zi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, Master Pao will not mistreat you. You see, we are all old. Who knows when we will die. After we die, our things will also be yours."
Listening to their words, Li Du laughed. Liu Zi's method of comforting people was quite interesting. He had painted a picture of peace until after their deaths.
Da Mao was a relatively simple-minded person, so he was quite encouraged after hearing that.
Liu Zi continued, "If you want to investigate a case in Hpakant, you will definitely provoke someone. So stay with us, at least no one can hurt you, and we are all China people. Blood is thicker than water, right?"
Big Feather nodded like a chick pecking rice. "Yes, yes, yes."
Liu Zi said, "We are not controlling you. We are working together. We will earn money for now, and you will earn experience and connections. In the future, the Chinese Village will be your support. You will not be in danger in Hpakant."
Da Mao nodded like a chick pecking rice. "That's great."
Zhong Da Pao and Liu Zi's preparations were necessary. In the afternoon, they were sleeping when gunshots rang out at the entrance of the village.
Li Du quickly got up. Then, from the window, he saw a few pickup trucks appear outside the village. The people in the trucks were shooting at the village.
The people in the village were even fiercer. There were guns sticking out of the windows of the houses and behind the sandbags outside the village. The firepower was fierce. The pickup trucks fired a few rounds at them before leaving.
Because of this incident, they could not go out for the time being.
It just so happened that Zhong Da Pao had earned some money. He bought a few hundred thousand yuan worth of daily necessities in one go. Staying in the small world of the Chinese Village was quite comfortable.
Taking advantage of this break, Li Du contacted some excavators and mining teams. He was prepared to go to the Dena Mountain area to look for mineral veins after familiarizing himself with the few fields in Hpakant.
After staying in the village for two days to lie low, Zhong Da Pao came to find him and said, "It's about time. Let's go to Huika or Damakan to play today?"
Li Du looked at the map and said, "Let's go to Damakan, then change to Huika."
Zhong Da Pao said, "No problem. I want to go to Damakan too. The big fields in Longken, Xiangdong, and Old Hpakant have good stuff. The small fields in Damakan have good stuff. I know a good field."
The Damakan field was located downstream of the Wulonglu River, 30 kilometers from Hpakant. It had been mined for a shorter period of time than the older fields. There were eleven big fields and hundreds of small fields. There were more water stones in the field. They were generally not big, weighing more than five kilograms. However, the chances of them producing green were high, so they were very popular.
As Damakan was located in the wilderness, foreigners and strangers were not allowed to enter the field for safety reasons.
Zhong Da Pao took out a map and showed it to Li Du. It was a map they had drawn themselves. The government, police, and checkpoints were marked on it. From the map, there were many checkpoints on the way in.
After they left, Liu Zi prepared a bunch of motorcycles. Because they had provoked the King of Hpakant, and because of Da Mao's reputation, many people were interested in him. Hence, they had to be careful.
Liu Zi brought along five men. They were all quiet, burly men. Their hair was messy, and their skin was rough. One look and anyone could tell that they were not to be trifled with.
This time, they had to ride motorcycles to Damakan. Liu Zi explained, "First, motorcycles are more agile when there are problems. Second, the road conditions are too bad. Cars can't get in. Third, the checkpoints don't check motorcycles."
Two of them rode a motorcycle. Fourteen or fifteen motorcycles went out.
Li Du placed the little guy in the Chinese village. There were many children in the village, and they liked to play around. Li Du let the little guys play with the other children and left Firecracker behind to watch over them.
The motorcycles that Liu Zi found were all off-road motorcycles. The Chinese village was too poor, and the motorcycles had some problems. Hence, it was difficult to ride them.
The only time Li Du had ridden a motorcycle was when he had picked up some leftover items in the warehouse. That time, he had almost gotten into an accident. After that, he kept his distance from the off-road motorcycles. Hence, he did not know how to ride them.
Brother Wolf insisted that he learn. If something happened later, he would have to cover Li Du's escape on the motorcycle.
Hence, Liu Zi demonstrated to Li Du. He changed gears, squeezed the clutch, and stepped on the accelerator.
It was easy to learn. However, it was difficult to deal with the local road conditions.
Driving south from the town, the road conditions were still alright at first. Li Du could drive carefully. After driving for more than ten kilometers, the road conditions suddenly became extremely bad. There were big and small dirt mounds everywhere. As the motorcycles passed in front of them, the sand that was kicked up was like a sandstorm.
Da Mao's driving skills were even worse than Li Du's. When they drove past a dirt mound, he stepped on the accelerator too hard. Suddenly, when they reached a downhill slope, he could not control the motorcycle.
