“Well, there are indeed private armed forces,” said the aide, “this place is the border between Laos and Myanmar, which is a typical trinity, and the two countries do not have the energy to take care of it, so there are often armed teams in the presence of armed forces.”

The driver was worried: “There’s no danger, right?”

"As long as you follow me, you'll have no problem."The assistant smiled and was about to leave, Zhu Qiang suddenly said: "I understand."

The assistant looked back at him, “Boss, what do you understand?”

“Are the fresh bodies available to you by private armed men?”Zhu Qiang asked.

The assistant looked bad, and laughed twice, "Boss, this has nothing to do with you."You pay us to provide you with the body you are satisfied with, and that is enough, and it is better to know less about what remains.”

The driver was furious: “How did you talk to Mr. Zhu?”

The assistant sneered: "Don't think you give a few golden leaves, you can know anything, I tell you, into this mountain, you are a dragon, the tiger must lie down, less trouble!"What's wrong, I can't keep you."

“Damn, with you?” for Zhu Qiang, the driver and friend turned their faces.

Zhu Qiang slowly swallowed and said: "What kind of fire, go to the countryside."Well, I promise you, go into the mountains and be honest, listen to you."

The assistant said, “That’s right.Also, don't provoke my boss, Azanyuan, who is a black law and his temper is not very good.He, who I have been with for two years, knows the nature of the spleen, and he can kill without blinking, I tell you."

Zhu Qiang smiled and said, "We certainly will not provoke him, each one of them will be repaired."

The assistant looked at him, his eyes a little contemptuous, he certainly did not think that there are masters of practice in the country, in his concept, the world's most powerful wizards are all piled up in Southeast Asia, and practitioners elsewhere are not worth mentioning.

We followed him into the mountains, the woods were dense, almost no way, after walking into the seven vertical bushes, the assistant in front of the road, can see that he is very skilful to the road, encountering trees blocking the road, he will not cut the trees to one side, but in various ways, or turn or drill, very easy to bypass.

We learned in the back of his appearance forward, so walking is too physical, I gassed to ask him, every time this way is not to cut out a road.The assistant sneered, "The place where Azan practices the retreat is a secret, and it is good for outsiders to find it casually."

After walking for two hours, I was almost dehydrated and finally sat down to rest.I held the kettle, filled the water with a large mouth, and regained some strength.After a moment's rest, it did not go far this time, over a mountain, and saw a pile of abandoned thatched huts in the dense forest.

Go to the near and see, the roof of these thatched huts are straw-covered, the house is made of wood-paneled, extremely simple, that is, it can barely hold people to keep the rain.

The assistant untied the climbing bag and carried the materials, including water, bacon, and vegetables, into a house.We followed in and saw a simple stove in the house that could cook.

The assistant took us out and pointed to the three huts in the northeast corner and said, "These three rooms are azan, so don't go near them, let alone disturb his practice."I'm here, what's looking for me."

I looked at the three thatched huts tightly closed the doors and windows, and I couldn’t see the scene inside.Spring in Southeast Asia is still very hot, I am here to stand for a while all sweating, I really do not know how the Azan can live in a steaming-like house.

“It’s all the same, can you visit?”Zhu Qiang said.

The assistant shook his head: “I suggest that you do your own thing, and don’t cut off the branches.”It doesn't make much sense for you to see each one of you."

"That's right."Zhu Qiang nodded his head.

The assistant took us to thatched huts in the southwest and arranged for us to stay, just in the farthest diagonal of the house with Azanyuan.

The assistant said, "In these two days, the freshest source of the body will be sent, first of all to say hello to you, all the bodies must first ensure that Azanyuan, and when he is finished, it will be your turn."

Judith laughed without speaking.

The driver pulled the assistant aside and muttered in a low voice, presumably to take care of him, and the driver stuffed the assistant again.

This time the assistant was determined not to ask, said: "Azan is very terrible, do not rub the sand in his eyes, other things he does not account, if it is something on the body, I am afraid I can not eat and walk, you will not harm me."

Zhu Qiang said, "Then I'll ask you a very simple question."

“Ask me.”The assistant looked at him.

“Are these cottages a village?”Why has no one lived and been abandoned for so long?”Zhu Qiang asked.

The assistant said: "This village is called Leylan, speaking of the origin of history, about 40 years ago, here and another village conflict, the village is home to Khmer headhunters, and then launched an ambush, the village people killed, here is deserted, it is said to be haunted, many years no one dared to come, so it became the black law of the wizard retreat."

Judith nodded, thoughtfully.

The assistant came again in the evening, brought us simple water and bacon, and it was tasteless, of course, much stronger than hunger.The assistant told us that he brought a limited amount of food and could only provide us with one meal a day.

Zhu Qiang asked him when he would go out again, and the assistant said that after a week, Zhu Qiang let the driver follow him and go out to collect something.

I looked around, secretly sighing, this mountain you want to go in and out, only I am firmly regarded dead in this place.

After eating and resting, Zhu Qiang did not share a room with me, and he estimated that I would not have the thought of running away for a while, so he let me live alone.

I eat half full, sleep until the middle of the night hungry, here is no better than at home, want to eat can not eat, can only endure.

The next day, the assistant took the driver to the mountain to get water.This ghost place, hoping to back in from the outside is not realistic, can only take water in place.The two of them walked for most of the day, and only returned in the afternoon, and the kettle on their backs was almost all filled.When eating at night, the driver said with a throb of water, they encountered private armed in the mountains, soldiers wearing yellow uniforms, can not see which team, a person holding a rifle in his hand, fortunately, there is an assistant in communication, otherwise there can really be an accident.

Zhu Qiang said, "From your point of view, the team should be stationed near the water source."

The driver nodded, and he lit the little oil lamp, and there were only three of us in the room.

The assistant went to pick up the body source, strictly forbidden us to follow, the driver and Zhu Qiang applied to follow the assistant to see, so that Zhu Qiang stopped.I don't know what Judith is doing.

Zhu Qiang repeatedly asked the driver what he saw at the time, asked him not to remember the location of the water source, the driver is an old oil bar, but also with a pen to draw a detailed road map.I sat next to no words, I can see that the driver should be a soldier, but also a technical service, he painted a very detailed topographic map, the surrounding terrain and precautions are marked.

“Judith, what do you want to do?”The driver asked in a low voice.

He said, “Wait until now.”He snorted and blew out the oil lamp, and the house was in darkness.

When I woke up in the morning, there was a loud noise outside.There was only one meal a day, and I didn't have to eat it early, I wanted to sleep again, but the louder the outside, the bigger it was, I had to sit up and push open the tattered window to look out.This look stands out.

Outside, there were two corpses lying in the open space, both male corpses, incomplete bodies, one broken arm and one without legs.The driver was talking to the assistant about what, Zhu Qiang sitting on the side, his face was very ugly.

The assistant tried to explain something.The sun was dangling, shining through the leaves, and the whole air was a faint stink.

I came out of the house and asked what was wrong.

The driver also complained: "The bodies given to us are all inferior, and there are no female corpses, and all are mutilated."

The assistant sneered, “Do you know how hard it is to get a woman’s body now?”Not to mention the young girl, even the old woman in the age of forty or fifty is a rarity in this mountain."

I crouched on the ground and looked at the body, and you said in her mind, "No need to look, these two people were killed by a knife, and they were execution-style execution."

“Executed execution...” I muttered.

“Their mortal wounds should have been killed on the back, from behind.He should be on his knees when he dies.”The little corner.

“From the point of view of death, the source of the body should have come from that private armed group.”I muttered to guess.

At this time, the driver loudly asked the assistant: "How many bodies did your boss Azan take away?"

The assistant shouted, "Can you compare with my boss, and all the bodies will be with him before they can come to you."

“We can add money.”The driver said.

"It's not a matter of money," said the assistant softly, "the body provided is already limited, good left to you, my boss what to do, he can't guess I'm in the middle of the ghost?" 」

“Did the source come into contact with you first?”The driver asked.

The assistant nodded: "It is, Azan is far from meeting anyone, except me, so I take care of everything outside."
