A little boy in liberation shoes ran quickly along a simple road that was made from the nearby gravel and soil. The road was relatively flat. Perhaps it was because of the dust, or perhaps it was because of the heat, the road appeared to be white.
On both sides of the road were flat fields. Near the river, there was a long aqueduct built to avoid the Nile's flood season. At the end of the aqueduct, the irrigation station transported the Nile's water further away and flowed along the irrigation canal, supplying water to the vast alfalfa fields nearby.
The little guy was panting from running, so he stood up for a while to catch his breath. Purple flowers bloomed in the large alfalfa fields on both sides of the road. Trees were planted neatly in the alfalfa fields at regular intervals. These trees could already provide good shade. Large areas of trees were planted at the nodes of the aqueduct, and the shade was very tempting. However, the little guy did not want to rest there rashly, because there would probably be beehives near the shade. That was because there were probably beehives placed near the shade of those trees. He had the experience of provoking bees and getting stung, and it was not a pleasant experience.
His destination was not far from the place where he stopped. On the flat land, there stood a city. Around the city, there were many houses belonging to the tribes that came to live here. From the little guy's position, he could not see those low houses at all. The outside of the city, which was decorated with the common red sandstone here, was clearly visible.
About four to five meters high city walls blocked the little guy's line of sight. He could only see the battlements and firing ports above. Behind the city walls, there were two taller buildings that far surpassed the city walls. One of the two buildings was a water tower that the locals could not understand. The other was? A watchtower that also served as an antenna and a signal tower. This one? The watchtower and the water tower, together with the watchtowers at the four corners of the city, formed the observation system of the fortress numbered 006.
After catching his breath, the little guy continued to move forward. The roads near the fortress became more and more crowded, and the number of people coming and going also increased. When he walked near the fortress, a common scene of a market appeared in front of the little guy. Compared to other spontaneous markets, the market here was extremely orderly. When the black patrol in yellow uniforms passed by, even the quarreling locals lowered their voices. Even if they had no intention of stopping the quarrel, they would wait for the patrol team to leave first.
There was only one gate in Fort 006. The little guy, who was wearing a white cotton sleeveless shirt, a blue belt, and blue pants, was out of breath. The guard at the door could not help but stop him and ask, "Where are you from?"
"I'm a student from Rudi Village Primary School. I'm looking for Teacher Yang." The little fellow answered the guard's question in Chinese that could be understood.
After looking at the other school emblems on the cotton jacket, especially the scar left by the vaccination on the little fellow's shoulder, the guard let them pass. China had not been developing in East Africa for a long time. There were not many people who were willing to follow them, and there were only a few people who could be completely trusted by the Chinese. The local department had some confidence in the children. In order to ensure that they would not die needlessly from the various diseases in East Africa, the children of families that were deemed worthy of training were vaccinated. Just by looking at the scars on their shoulders, one could tell the status of these locals. At least for now, the traces left behind by the vaccination could be used as a marker to judge the credibility of the locals.
There were people coming and going outside the gate, so the guard let the little fellow in. Learning was a very hard thing, and the administrative district of East Africa had no way to establish a permanent school for every primary school. The teachers could only rotate to teach in various schools. Under such conditions, the guard was quite appreciative of the little fellow's attention to the teachers.
The gate was as crowded as Pyongyang, and there were shops and facilities that had to be set up inside the city, which was more than 300 meters long and wide. It would be very inconvenient to not let people from outside the city in at all. The guard quickly forgot about the child. There were many people trying to go in and out, so the guard had to monitor them very carefully.
Twenty minutes later, a sharp siren sounded in the fort. The guards frowned. They immediately pulled up the fence and no longer allowed people to go in or out. A few minutes later, the public security comrade inside ran to the door. He frowned and asked, "Did you let a local student in not long ago?"
The guard who asked the question was stunned. Although he did not want to admit it immediately, he did not think that a child could cause much trouble. After a moment of hesitation, the guard who asked the question said, "There was such a child. What did he do? "
"Come with me." The public security comrade did not answer the question, but made a request.
The guard who asked the question regretted it, but he had no reason to refuse at this time. Complaining about his luck, the guard followed the public security comrade inside. Seeing that they had left a crowded place, the guard tentatively asked again, "Comrade, what did the child do?"
"The child did nothing, but someone stabbed him and seriously injured him. Who is the person who did this to a child? "The public security comrade replied with a black face.
The guard relaxed for a while. It was good that the child he let in did not cause any trouble. However, this relaxation did not last long. The guard suddenly remembered another thing. The child did not cause any trouble, but the murderer who stabbed the little fellow was definitely not a good person. As a guard, it seemed that there was no hope of completely getting rid of the responsibility. However, this uneasiness did not expand again. In the case of not knowing who the murderer was, no one could be sure that the murderer was not a local, let alone determine who let the child in. This responsibility was not up to the guard himself.
The fortress was not big. While the guard was thinking about it, he had followed the public security to the murder scene. It was behind a stable. More than a dozen people hired by the local people were busy working on the stable. The little fellow was lying on some hay, and the doctor was treating him urgently.
"See if it's the child you let in." The public security officer asked.
With the doctor next to him, the guard could not see the child's face. He leaned over to take a look, but looked away because of the large bloodstain on the child's chest. "It's him. I let him in about half an hour ago." The guard quickly stepped back and said.
Although he did not see the wound clearly, the guard saw the white coat that was cut by the doctor lying next to the child. The coat was stained with blood. Such a little thing lost so much blood, and the injury must be very serious.
"Do you remember who followed him?" The public security officer asked.
The guard shook his head again and again. "I don't remember anyone with him. This child came here to find … to find Teacher Yang."
After listening to this information, the public security officer frowned even more. He came to stab a teacher from China in the back. The person who stabbed this child was ruthless, and it was clear that he wanted to kill the child. Could it be that there was some conflict between the China teacher and this child?
"He only said that he came here to find Teacher Yang?" The public security officer said to himself.
"No …"
"No!"
The public security officer and the guard thought of something almost at the same time. The teachers were taking turns to teach in various villages at this time. Teacher Yang should be teaching in a village like the other teachers.
"I remember that Teacher Yang went to class with other teachers today." The guard's brain was also very clear at this time.
"Why did this child come to find Teacher Yang?" The public security officer was also very puzzled.
The case seemed strange. Now with the increase of information, the case not only did not become simple, but it began to become complicated. Both of them turned their heads to look at the face of the dying child who was lying on the ground and being treated by the doctor. What kind of villain did this little thing provoke, or what kind of sin did it commit to actually encounter such a terrible thing?
At this time, a rather handsome young man, at least with a handsome face recognized by the Arabs, ran along the path that the little guy came from. His expression was uncertain, and his hands unconsciously clenched and loosened. The dried blood between his thumb and forefinger had begun to turn black, and there was no knife in the scabbard at his waist.
The child ran far slower than the young man, and the young man seemed to have the urge to leave something behind him, even under the sunlight, he did not stop. So the distance that the little guy ran for more than an hour, the young man only took a little more than half an hour.
The village looked quite quiet under the sunlight. The young man stood at the village entrance and calmed himself down. He repeatedly said, "Do not use your father and brother as protectors. If they abandon Islam and adopt superstition! No matter where you find the apostate, kill them. The murderer will be rewarded in paradise on the Day of Resurrection! "
"Do not use your father and brother as protectors. If they abandon Islam and adopt superstition …"
"Do not use your father and brother as protectors …"
The repeated chanting had a considerable effect. The young man's handsome face looked more and more determined, and the confusion, regret, guilt, and uneasiness that had unconsciously appeared on his face before disappeared without a trace. The strong logic brought about by firm faith expelled the weakness and wavering brought about by human nature in the young man, making him firm, and preventing him from any external emotional harm.
With such an expression on his face, the young man strode into the village. Not long after he walked forward, two men with machetes suddenly flashed out from the corner. After seeing the young man, they first let out a sigh of relief. "Erdogan, why did you come back so early? You scared us. "
After saying that, the two men only noticed the strange expression on Erdogan's face. The expression on Erdogan's face was so intimidating that the two men with machetes did not dare to say another word. Erdogan spoke, "The village chief has already started preparing, right? Take me to the village chief."
In Fort 006, the little guy's limbs suddenly began to spasm. The doctor's hands that were holding the suture needle temporarily stopped suturing. The child was too young, and the three cuts on his body were very deep. He must have been stabbed in the internal organs and arteries. The spasm now should be the result of excessive blood loss. If the spasm continued, the child would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"Nurse, give him a normal saline transfusion," the doctor shouted loudly.
At this time, the little guy could no longer hear any sounds from the outside world. His consciousness was no longer working, and there were all kinds of faint noises in his brain. The little guy seemed to see himself returning to the state when he had just entered the city. The city was empty, and only the guard at the gate spoke to him first. Then the little guy went to find Teacher Yang, but Teacher Yang was not there.
