"The original 'Golden Triangle' was just a piece of land at the junction of Thailand, Laos and Tadian Federation. The turbulent Meigong River is often mixed with a large amount of mud and sand, and it flows back into the Yesai River. Over time, a small delta formed between the two rivers. This delta has fertile land and rich resources. In ancient times, people called the Indochina Peninsula "Suwannapumi", which means the land of gold or the Golden Peninsula. The triangle area at the junction of the three golden countries on this Golden Peninsula is called the 'Golden Triangle'. Today, the actual range of the 'Golden Triangle' is much wider, including the two sides of the Salwin River in the eastern part of the Tadian Federation, the Tangbang Plateau, and the Thai

The area of ​​Cheong Caifu, Yefeng Song and Chiang Mai in the northwest of Laos, also includes Nanta Province, Wudou Mengsai Province, Fengshari Province, Luang Prabang Province and along the Nanta River, and even some areas of Vietnam and Cambodia. The total area of ​​the 'Golden Triangle' is about 180,000 to 200,000 square kilometers, but no one can figure out how big its actual area is." - Excerpt from "Golden Triangle Geographic Overview" "We regret to see that the Golden Triangle region of the Tadian Federation has become the largest opium production kingdom in the world. The opium production in this region accounts for at least 50-60 of the global total opium production - Excerpt from "Year United Nations"

"The issue of the Golden Triangle is not a simple drug problem. Behind this drug problem, the complex ethnic, economic, historical and political problems in that region, any country in the world, in the face of so many problems, can only helpless... The British who sowed the first poppy seed on this land back then may not have thought that they sowed the land here, and extended their roots to every corner of the earth 200 years later. 200 years ago, Western colonists opened Pando on this land

Pull the magic box. 200 years later, the opium dealers who had just taken off their blood-stained coats sat leisurely in the conference hall of the United Nations, smoking cigars, and said to us proudly. "Hey, little brother, it's time for you to lock up that box, otherwise I'll hit you in the ass!" - Excerpt from "Economic History of the Indochina Peninsula - Past, Current Situation, and Future of the Tadian Federation and the Golden Triangle Region" came out of the provincial capital MK and headed west. Then headed south, winding between the mountains and roads, and we met villages and villages, and the road was narrower and narrower, and the mountains were getting higher and higher. There were fewer people on the road, but there were more and more trees!

Occasionally, a bare mountain will jump into the public's view. There are no trees on the bare mountain. Some are just exposed outside, the stones that are whitened by the sun, and the shallow layer between the cracks of the stones will turn yellow and green weeds and low shrubs.

The long-distance bus with all kinds of cargo on the roof of the car has been bumping on the rugged mountain road for 5 hours after leaving the provincial capital at 7:30 in the morning. You may still be interested in seeing the mountains and trees at the first time. But if such a scenery is repeated in front of you for 5 hours in a row, it will be repeated for several "5 hours" in the next time. At this moment, I am afraid you will be left with numbness.

On such a long-distance bus, the air is naturally not good, especially in the afternoon.

The hot sun hangs on the front of the car, and the long-distance bus is like a dead pig floating in the river. All of a sudden, all smells come out. Even if all the windows on the car are opened, when the wind slows down, a terrible smell of sweat and feet will still drill into your nostrils.

Just now, a sister-in-law didn't know if she was motion sickness or was fumigated by the smell. She stretched her head and spit out the window. She spit out all the porridge and fried dough sticks she ate in the morning. The strange smell floated into the car again, mixing with the previous smells, and suddenly suppressed the rising appetite of the people in the car.

Since getting on the bus in the morning, no one has eaten yet, so the driving master said that there is still more than 40 kilometers of mountain roads to eat lunch.

The car has been driving until now and has just left the provincial capital for about 300 kilometers!

The winding Hengduan Mountains are like a giant dragon lying thousands of miles across the earth, extending from south to north on the ground. The head of this giant dragon is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, while its tail extends to the mountainous area at the junction of the country and the Tadian Federation. From the long-distance bus coming out of the provincial capital to now, the scenery outside the car window has gradually been blocked by this mountain range that seems to have no end.

The road is not wide, so two cars can barely pass by side. The bus is driving close to the right side of the kilometer. Outside the window on the left of the bus is a steep mountain wall, and to the right of the bus is a rugged V-shaped canyon with steep slopes in the canyon. When you sit on the car and take a look, the canyon seems to be under your feet, and it seems that it is floating in the air, with no ground at your feet. There are few timid people who don’t feel dizzy when they see this formation, especially those who have experienced this formation for the first time.

Chen Zaishan's face turned a little white at this moment. Every time he looked at the canyon hundreds of meters deep under his feet and the roaring yellow dragon in the canyon, while his calf was a little soft, his stomach began to shrink and his mind became a little heavy. What's worse, the more he reminded himself not to look outside, the more his eyes would look outside, the heavier his head would look, and the more he glanced at the head, the more he showed signs of rebellion in his stomach - Chen Zaishan was a little self-deprecating. Why was he so unlucky? The first time he came to this place, he bought a ticket in front of the window on the far right?

After struggling for a long time, Chen Zaishan finally couldn't hold on anymore. He turned to look at the boy sitting next to him, and a smile appeared on his pale face, "Uh... this little brother, can we change seats? This... I'm a little uncomfortable sitting by the window!"

The boy has been sitting next to him since he got in the car. The trip was long. Dong Zaishan also said a few words to the boy at the beginning, but the boy was probably not a talkative and talkative person. Chen Zaishan whispered a few words himself and then closed his mouth.

After listening to Chen Zaishan's dialect, the young man looked at Chen Zaishan, nodded, and got up to change seats with Chen Zaishan.

I sat in the left position. If I didn't look up, the dizzy deep ditch canyon outside the car window would not appear in front of me for the time being. Chen Zaishan twisted on the chair and felt a little more comfortable. Otherwise, the scenery outside would always make me dizzy!

Although this young man didn't talk much, it didn't seem as difficult to speak as he thought.

I have been holding it in for several hours, and now when I have the chance, Lian Zaishan immediately opened up his conversation again.

"Is my little brother from this province?"

The young man glanced at him and nodded gently.

"I'm not afraid of you, little brother, you are laughing at me. I've been traveling around the country for more than ten years. I haven't taken a car, but this is the first time I've taken this road. I feel dizzy when I see those things outside..."

Chen Zaishan found that speaking could relieve his tension and divert his attention. Although the boy didn't talk much, it was not annoying. In this case, he was an excellent listener. Therefore, as soon as the conversation was opened this time, Chen Zaishan kept talking about the 40-kilometer mountain road until the driver stopped the car and told everyone that the place for lunch was here.

"If you want to eat, you can eat here! If you want to go to the bathroom, hurry up and move your muscles. We will stop here for 20 minutes. It will be evening when we stop at the next stop!" After the driver said that, he got off the bus first. Passengers in Toyota also rushed down.

It is already around 13:00 p.m. It is almost 14:00 p.m. Although most people in the car have eaten something in the morning, they can't withstand the bumps of these few hours. The little inventory in their belly has been almost overturned. After making a car for such a long time, most people in the car have their feet and legs, while some are holding their feet and urine. With such an opportunity, everyone will naturally have to hurry up.

The parking place is on the side of the road. It is not a parking lot, but a few small bungalows built up along the valley and a venue the size of a blue court. Those small bungalows are restaurants. There is a wooden board hanging on the eucalyptus trees outside the small bungalow. The front and back sides of the wooden board are painted with red paint, which is not beautiful. "Welcome to eat, board and water." When the wind blows, the wooden board will sway. It can attract others' attention.

The parking lot was paved with horse tartar. It was a bit rough, but it was still flat. On the left side of the place, hidden in a bush was the toilet. The men's and women's toilets were tightly erected, and the toilet was not over. The men who entered the toilet and urinated in a row reached out their heads outside...

In general, this place can only be described in the word "simple".

This place is a bit simple, and the food that everyone eats is also very simple. Ten people gather together, sitting on small benches or stools, a pot of cabbage and tofu soup, a stir-fried potato, a stir-fried mung beans with old cured meat, and two pickles. This is everything on the table. The only skewers of the meat are only fat and fried to black. As soon as the dishes are put down, a few pairs of chopsticks swept across the sky, the old cured meat disappeared, and everyone was eating it in a mess.

Those who can ride in this car will not be rich people. If they are rich, they will not come to squeeze in this long-distance bus with everyone. If you think the food provided by the restaurant is not good, you can also take the trip and ask the people in the restaurant to help you make it. The dishes here are very cheap, and each meat dish costs 6 yuan.

The price is clearly marked, but no one in the car is willing to pay the 6 yuan aside from the driver who drove a small meal.

Chen Zaishan and the young man who asked him to sit at the table. Chen Zaishan ate and looked at the young man while eating. When other people's chopsticks were flying around on the table, the young man always ate a bowl of rice and a little cabbage soup. Lian Zaishan felt that the young man's eating behavior was very gentle. When he looked at the young man's face carefully, he was also very gentle. In addition to being gentle, the young man's pair of flying and delicate eyebrows always made Chen Zaishan feel that there was something indescribable on the young man's body.

After dinner, I took a walk and half an hour passed quickly. When everyone got on the bus, another long-distance bus stopped here. It seemed that although it was simple, the business was pretty good.

The driving master did not make everyone wait for a long time. When the last passenger got on the bus and the driving master counted the number of people, the long-distance bus once again set off on the itinerary.

Three hours later, the car reached Gaoligong Mountain. On both sides of the highway, you can already see some of the tropical vegetation. The small villages on the roadside are full of tall banana trees. Along the way, you can often see women wearing ethnic costumes setting up street stalls on the roadside, with fruits piled up on the street stalls. The slightly chilly weather in the provincial capital can no longer be felt.

Halfway through the car, Chen Zaishan, who was talking about his experience of failing business before the New Year, shouted in the car in surprise. "What's going on? Why did my ears ring? Have you heard any special sound?"

The boy next to him smiled faintly. "Don't be nervous, this is because the altitude difference here is too large, and the rapid changes in atmospheric pressure cause tinnitus, which is a natural phenomenon!"

"Oh, so that's the case. I just said why my ears always feel uncomfortable?" Chen Zaishan, who had experienced this for the first time, breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, by the way, where did I just talk about?"

"You talked about your friend running away with your money!"

"Oh... I know people but not my heart. We have known each other for more than ten years, but unexpectedly, that person stabbed me in the most difficult time, which made me lose all my money..."

Hours of "communication" have already made Chen Zaishan understand the boy sitting next to him. At least, compared to the morning, Chen Zaishan has already known the name of the boy. The boy has an impressive name - Long Liexue!

After passing Gaoligong Mountain, there were more checkpoints on the road. In some key places, the armed police guarding the pass often blocked the passing Feng vehicles one by one for careful inspection. When the Muka checkpoint, the passengers sitting in the car were fortunate to witness the entire process of the anti-drug armed police searching drugs in the mezzanine of the trunk of a Toyota Xiaojiao car. The moment the drugs were found, the driver wanted to run away, but the fierce police dog suddenly fell to the ground, and a group of armed police rushed up...

Chen Zaishan was a little surprised, but most of the people in the car were a little strange. After listening to the discussions of the people in the car, Chen Zaishan realized that in this checkpoint, the drugs seized less than hundreds of kilograms of drugs every year, and sometimes in tons, basically, drug dealers can be caught here every day...

After passing the Muka checkpoint, the long-distance bus changed the driver, and everyone had the opportunity to go to the toilet again. At the same time, the sky outside became dark, and the stars in the sky showed their true colors one by one. Along the way, the long-distance bus passed several cities in Dizhou, but they did not stop. There were not many people in the car who could keep their energy until now. Chen Zaishan had already taken a nap at this moment.

At around twelve o'clock in the evening, a glorious city appeared in Long Liexue's sight. Long Liexu knew that the first destination of his trip was about to arrive - that city was a national first-class port, a beautiful tropical border city, Ruijiang! The beautiful city adjacent to Ruijiang is the Tadian Federation, or rather, the Golden Triangle!

Golden Triangle, I'm here!
