At half past midnight on July 9, 2013, on a beach near Rasgrai, Somalia, thirty-six hours after Taotao and Yunjie were kidnapped.

The stars shine in the night sky, and the sea seems quiet. The sound of waves is gentle and comfortable. Although it is a beach in a pirate country that is talked about in the world, it is no different from beaches in other places in the world. If it is in a more developed country,

In other countries, such a beach might be developed into a holiday resort, but here, it is so deserted that it only smells of nature.

A small yacht sailed towards the beach from the other side of the quiet sea. A small light was on the yacht, like a will-o'-the-wisp floating on the sea. As the boat approached, it gradually became larger.

The sea breeze was moaning, and there were some trees and rocks on the beach. A small black figure trotted over from the woods, staring at the ship, and then moved from behind the trees to the back of the rocks.

Someone got off the boat. He was not tall. He was wearing casual clothes that are not common in Somalia. He showed some outlines in the dark night. His upper body was wrapped in a small cloak with a piece of cloth, probably to keep out the wind.

, this figure fixed the small yacht on the beach, turned around, and looked directly towards the reef, tilting his head and looking like that for a long time.

Then, the dark and thin figure gradually moved out from behind the reef. The man came closer. Under the starlight, standing by the reef was a thin black girl who was only about 1.5 meters tall.

The clothes she wore were tattered and thin. She just stared at the person in front of her. She seemed to be holding something behind her back. When the person in front of her turned her head and looked at it with interest, she turned her hand to her front. That was

A rather old mobile phone.

"Uh, uh..." the black girl stuttered, using English, which was not fluent. Although Somalia also uses English and Italian, the main languages ​​​​are still the local Somali and Arabic.

, most people still don't understand English, "Hello... welcome... welcome to Somalia."

This English was stiff, indicating that her English was not very good, but her teacher probably taught her this sentence many times. Jiaming laughed: "Are you the liaison person?"

"Yes, I am." The little and skinny girl nodded and said slowly in English, "Are you from Saudi Arabia? Are you Chinese?"

"I am."

Although it was a bit ridiculous to see the little black boy in front of him, the connection was completed, and then the black girl led him away from the beach and towards the city. He was thinking about Taotao and Yunjie, and he was sure that the black girl

After it was no longer a scam, he calmed down and pondered the next action. For him, he was a master of deception in the past. After the super power broke out, his judgment in this regard became even more acute. In face-to-face situations, there was basically no one.

You can fool him.

The black girl's English was not fluent, and Jia Ming probably knew that the contact person Dark Tianqin had found temporarily was not a trained agent, and she knew nothing about the purpose of his coming here. When Jia Ming mentioned that he wanted her to help

When he found Samuel Hassan, he was obviously shocked.

"Are you alone?"

"Um."

"But... he is a warlord, a bad guy, very cruel..." The black girl did not have much English vocabulary, and she tried her best to express Samuel's heinousness at this time. Then she seemed to have realized something, and suddenly became a little frustrated, "

Do you...do you want to...cooperate with him?"

Jiaming looked at her with a half-smile, and after a moment, he asked, "Why do you have that mobile phone?"

"Mobile phone...left by the teacher..."

"Where's the teacher?"

"He died. He was killed by those warlords..."

The black girl held the worn-out mobile phone in her hands, "I know...the teacher is doing very important things for our country...but he is dead...I helped hide the mobile phone when he was arrested. The mobile phone is fast."

It’s broken…I have trouble charging it too…it doesn’t ring often…I’ve only had two calls…yesterday…it was hard to understand…the phone is dying…”

Jiaming nodded: "I understand."

To put it simply, the black girl’s former teacher was probably an agent of Dark Lyra, and was later eliminated. When Dark Lyra contacted Dark Lyra for the first time, they found that the goods were not right, so they naturally cut off contact. There was probably an investigation later.

It is estimated that new agents were sent here. After confirming her identity, of course they could not absorb such a little girl. Then they gave up here for the time being. This time, since Jiaming came over, finding a local was better than nothing.

Oh, what an imaginative choice...

He sighed: "I'm here to trouble Samuel."

"But...you are only one person."

"Yes." Jiaming smiled, "Alone."

At around four o'clock, the two arrived at Rasgrai. Although it was said to be a town, it was actually a simple slum. The black girl took Jiaming to her place of residence, which was only a small slum of a few square meters.

It was just a wooden shed with a tattered quilt. The thin black girl was very cramped and seemed to want to arrange for Jiaming to live there first.

"Are you... like a teacher, here to help us?"

"Sorry, I'm afraid he's not such a great person." Jia Ming smiled, and then asked the other party to take him to where Samuel was. The black girl immediately became anxious: "Really, there are many of them, and you are the only one."

one person."

"It's okay, just take me there."

"But... there are more than three hundred of them, more than three hundred"

The black girl gestured with three hundred, emphasized it, and wrote "300" on the ground for Jiaming to see. Jiaming shook his head: "I still have to go there as soon as possible."

"It takes a long time to go..."

"So let's leave now."

"But really...really...will die..."

It was quite difficult for the Hei Xiaoshou to say these words. She held the worn-out mobile phone, maybe thinking of the teacher, and her tone was sad. Jiaming sat there and thought about it, and after a while, he stretched out his hand:

"Show me your phone."

Hei Xiaoshou struggled for a long time before handing the phone to Jiaming. There was no electricity nearby, but the pale morning light had already appeared in the east. Jiaming took out a small flashlight and turned it on. He began to disassemble the phone one by one and inspected it.

Once again, I wiped the damp parts a little, and then started to assemble it again. It turned on normally, but it only had the last bit of power left.

It is conceivable that since she got this mobile phone from the teacher, she probably kept the mobile phone on, so she could immediately receive the contact from Dark Lyra. However, in such a place, if the previous charging

If the device is gone, I don’t know how she can keep her mobile phone charged. Jiaming is not a soft-hearted person. She has seen a lot of wandering in her previous life, but although this black girl is estimated to be 17 or 18 years old,

She is even older, but she looks similar to Taotao, and a little thinner. As a girl, Taotao is slim but not thin. He thought of Taotao, handed the phone back to her, and clicked

He nodded: "It will ring again."

"Uh..." Hei Xiaoshou held the phone in his hands, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Let's go. If you have to go a long way, you should start early."

Jia Ming got up and made a decision. Seeing his resolute attitude, Hei Xiaoshou had no choice but to start leaving, but he still emphasized the danger over there. In the early morning, the sun gradually shone on the land of Rasgrai, Jia Ming and the black man

The girl walked back and forth and asked casually: "What happened to your face?"

Last night I noticed that not only was this black girl's English not very good, but another reason why she couldn't speak fluently was because her cheek was swollen like a small bun. The thin black girl turned around and touched her cheek with her hand: "It hurts."

The... toothache."

With the living and sanitary conditions here, although there is definitely not much candy to eat, tooth decay is inevitable. Looking at her, she seems to have been used to the pain. After a while, the two of them walked to the streets of Rasgrai, and Jia Ming

I also probably know that although Samuel Hassan's small base is quite far away from here, the small town of Rasgrai is basically under his control. She said that there are more than 300 people in the base, which is quite a lot.

Don't know if it's accurate.

Rasgrai is not big. There are only two main streets in the settlement area and there are not many shops. Jia Ming, a Chinese, seems to be walking here alone. This has always been a strange thing. Due to the gaze of some people,

The little black guy didn't dare to lead Jia Ming blatantly. Jia Ming also understood this. The two of them were a little far apart. When he noticed a small truck parked on the side of the road in front of him, the girl in front of him walked around to another road.

street.

After walking a long way and leaving Rasgrai for a while, the black girl dared to come over and talk. When Jia Ming asked about the small truck, she lowered her head and said: "Those are Samuel's soldiers..."

"Oh." Jia Ming nodded, suddenly enlightened.

After walking for a while, Jia Ming asked her to wait by the side of the secluded road: "I'm hungry. I'm going to buy some breakfast. Don't worry, I brought money and I know what to say." He said this and returned to La La.

Sgray.

Twenty minutes later, the loud clanking pickup truck came up with dust. The black girl hiding behind the tree even more carefully hid behind the tree - in fact, a soldier would not suddenly regard her as an enemy.

This was just a subconscious move out of fear. However, the pickup truck stopped on the side of the road. There was no movement for a long time. When she poked her head out to look, she discovered that the door was open and the man from China was sitting in the driver's seat.

The person sitting on the seat did not look here, but waved gently.

She looked around, then trotted up and climbed up.

"Close the door." Jia Ming said, and after she closed the door, he said again, "Open your mouth." He took out a pair of medical tweezers in his hand.

He returned to Rasgrai before, walked into the only small clinic in the town, smashed a large-denomination dollar, and bought simple medical supplies and a few painkillers. Soon after, a cry of "Ah" came from the truck.

Voice.

Jiaming helped her pull out the cavities, then handed her painkillers and a piece of cake he bought, and started the pickup truck.

This little black girl has a very strong tolerance. Even though her teeth were simply pulled out, when she saw something to eat, she still wolfed it down in the car. After eating, she realized what she was doing and spoke hesitantly.

"A car...how can there be a car?"

Jia Ming tilted his head, not wanting to explain this. Since the friendly negotiation failed, it was natural that a few more corpses were discovered on the streets of Rasgrai at this time.

Hei Xiaoshou probably doesn't have many opportunities to ride in a car. He may have never done it before. Sitting in the passenger seat is sometimes novel and sometimes uneasy.

"Is China a good country?"

"Um?"

"The teacher said before that he came over to teach us how to read and teach us things... There were other people who came over at that time to help us... But then the teacher died and no one else came. The Red Cross

They won’t come either... Many people have gone to become pirates, and no one will come to help us. Those warlords know how to fight. The less people come, the more they want to become pirates, and the more they fight, but the more they fight, no one comes, and the more pirates there are.

The more people come, the teacher said, Somalia will become like this..."

Hei Xiaoshou started crying as he spoke.

After a long time, Jia Ming finally said: "China is a pretty good country now, but it was about the same in the past."

"How did China... change for the better?"

"I don't know, but it's probably because... at that time, someone started thinking about the same thing as you, and they also cried..."

"...Somalia will also become a very good country."

After a long time, Miss Hei said this. Jiaming did not answer.

The road was winding and bumpy, and the truck could not drive very fast. However, at about eight o'clock in the morning, the outline of the base that Miss Hei mentioned was seen in the distance. Jiaming drove the pickup truck into the nearby woods.
