Yang Ya shook her head. "You are the one who didn't eat. In fact, you didn't eat much along the way … I can see that you have a lot on your mind. "
Xia Qiuyu silently lowered her head. Of course, she had a lot on her mind. So far, she had not seen the beast head. If she missed this opportunity, she was afraid that she would not be able to find any clues again. This was the clue left by her father, which allowed her to find Hua Xia's Xianghu.
Thinking of this, Xia Qiuyu's mood became particularly heavy.
"If you have anything to say, you can tell me. Because I am an outsider, maybe I know better." Yang Ya said, "And maybe I can enlighten you, really."
Xia Qiuyu smiled and said, "I appreciate your good intentions. But this matter is really important to me … if I can't find the beast head in the Golden Triangle, the rest of my life will have no meaning. "
"Although I don't agree with you, but … since you said so, I really want to ask you." Yang Ya said, "Do you really think that you can help Xu Yun?"
Xia Qiuyu was startled. She did not know how to answer.
"Do you really think that you will not be a burden to Xu Yun and the others if you go with them?" Yang Ya continued, "If you can answer me, then think carefully before you answer."
Xia Qiuyu shook her head. "I don't know … but I hope that I can help them. I don't want to be a burden to them."
"But what I want to say is, if you go, you are very likely to be a burden to them." Yang Ya said, "You said that you want to go with them to the Golden Triangle because you don't know much about the Golden Triangle."
Xia Qiuyu was stunned again. She really did not know much about the Golden Triangle.
Of course, she must have heard of this famous place, but it was only limited to hearing.
"Do you know how many Hua Xia merchant ships were attacked in the Golden Triangle on the Mekong River?" Yang Ya said again, "There are armed people everywhere. Do you know that?"
Xia Qiuyu shook her head. "I only know that place is a big source of poison in the world."
"You're right. That place is a great source of poison in the world." Yang Ya said, "It's a triangle formed by the borders of three countries. It can be said to be inaccessible and mountainous. It's the main source of poison in the world. The Golden Triangle covers a large area of nearly 200,000 square kilometers, covering thousands of villages and towns in the three countries."
"How do you know so much?" Xia Qiuyu was a little surprised.
Yang Ya smiled. "I've seen a documentary about the Golden Triangle."
Xia Qiuyu frowned. "Documentary?"
"Yes." Yang Ya continued, "The Golden Triangle has a hot climate, abundant rainfall, and fertile soil, which is very suitable for the growth of poppies. In addition, the place is densely forested, the roads are rugged, and traffic is blocked. The governments of the three countries can't do anything about it. It directly provides all the unique conditions for growing poppies. "
"But I heard that because of the international crackdown, the Golden Triangle is no longer as rampant as before," Xia Qiuyu said.
"That is indeed the case." Yang Ya nodded. "Just three years ago, I traveled to the Golden Triangle."
"Is that so?" Xia Qiuyu was startled. If she could travel, it meant that it was not that scary.
Yang Ya said, "The drug crackdown over the past decade has indeed greatly improved the Golden Triangle. After entering Myanmar's Dachili Pass, the tour group and I lost the opportunity to move freely. Our passports were detained at the border control port, and the Immigration Bureau issued an entry permit. If we want to leave Dachili, we have to apply for another travel permit. Without this permit, we can't do anything because you can't hire a car or buy a ticket. "
Xia Qiuyu was immediately interested.
"The roads there were bumpy, but I didn't see any poppies along the way. It was surrounded by plains, and the large tracts of rice by the roadside were about to mature. At that time, I remember passing through several checkpoints. The police checked everyone and stamped their travel permits. After returning, the travel permit had been stamped with seven or eight official stamps, "Yang Ya said.
"You didn't run into any trouble?" Xia Qiuyu asked nervously.
"No. At that time, I found that it was not a place where drugs were rampant. The blue sky, green rice fields, and white clouds in the sky made the small town surrounded by mountains look like a paradise. Most of the local residents grew rice and vegetables. There were many people relaxing by the lake, "Yang Ya recalled.
Xia Qiuyu said, "Isn't that good?"
"But the place I was at was only the center of the town." Yang Ya said, "The tour guide warned us very strictly not to go to the mountainous areas outside the town. Because those places are steep and filled with dense forests, if we accidentally entered a drug processing factory controlled by the armed forces, we would lose our lives. "
Xia Qiuyu sucked in a cold breath.
Yang Ya said, "Also, have you heard that the new drug trade in the Golden Triangle has been rising rapidly in recent years? I remember reading in a newspaper that at the Meizhan checkpoint near the Thai-Myanmar border, there are more than ten major cases of drug trafficking of more than 10,000 pills per month. "
"That exaggerated?" Xia Qiuyu said. That was what they found. What about the ones they didn't find?
"A few days ago, I read in the Philippine newspaper that 15 million Ecstasy pills were seized in the Northern Thailand region. These drugs were only a small part of it! "Yang Ya said," You can imagine how dangerous this place is. "
Xia Qiuyu's face turned even uglier. "Doesn't that mean that it is very dangerous to go to the Golden Triangle to look for the animal head?"
"Yes, it is very dangerous." Yang Ya nodded. "And the chaos in the Golden Triangle is famous all over the world."
"Why?" Xia Qiuyu asked anxiously. The more she listened, the more she didn't want Xu Yun and the others to take the risk.
"You know the Mekong River, right?" Yang Ya said, "It is an important geographical factor that forms the Golden Triangle. The section in Hua Xia is called the Lancang River, and the section that flows out is called the Mekong River. "
Xia Qiuyu nodded. "I know that, but what does that have to do with the chaos in that place?"
"The chaos in the navigable waterways is a very serious problem in the Golden Triangle," Yang Ya said. Yang Ya said, "We have to start from when we signed a shipping agreement with China and the three countries in the Southeast Peninsula. The navigation made the Mekong River not only a golden waterway, but also a devil's water. The security here has not been good for more than ten years. "
"Why?" Xia Qiuyu asked, "Why is it not peaceful when there is an agreement?"
Yang Ya shook her head helplessly. "It flows through so many countries, and there are still some differences in jurisdiction between the countries. There are also some loopholes or blind spots in law enforcement. The scariest thing is that the various evil forces in the Golden Triangle, including drug gangs, are also eyeing this golden waterway. "
"According to what you said, that place is really too chaotic." Xia Qiuyu said, "It is a place that no one cares about."
"Yes." Yang Ya nodded. "That is not all. The ethnic disputes in the Golden Triangle are also very chaotic. That is why I said that place is too dangerous. All kinds of armed mercenaries may appear in front of you at any time. If you enter the mountains, the sound of fighting may ring in your ears at any time. "
Xia Qiuyu couldn't help but swallow.
Yang Ya said seriously, "I didn't mean to scare you. I am just stating a fact. That place is really scary. That is why Xu Yun doesn't want you to go. "
"Yes, it seems that I don't know much about the Golden Triangle." Xia Qiuyu nodded.
"We should all understand. Xu Yun and the others still have to detain someone and look for something. They clearly don't have the energy to focus on other things." Yang Ya said, "So, he doesn't want you to go because he is worried that you will distract him. He is worried that you will make it impossible for him to concentrate."
Xia Qiuyu was silent.
"You should understand him. He certainly doesn't want you to have regrets in your heart. However, he knows better than us what is important and what is not. " Yang Ya said, "I believe that Xu Yun has a reason for every decision he makes. It is because he cares about you that he would consider so much."
"Yang Ya, thank you. Hearing you say that, I feel much better." Xia Qiuyu smiled.
"I am just stating a fact." Yang Ya said, "As for what it is, I believe that you will be able to figure it out yourself."
