Border Restrictions
On the bus to Lin Cang, the most discussed topic was about Kokang. There were many men over the age of 30 on the bus. None of them had groomed their appearance and looked very sloppy. The most talked about topic was that they wanted to go to Kokang to buy a Burmese woman as a wife. They all followed the trend and because of this, everyone in Yunnan Province knew about it.
Because the price of buying a Burmese woman from Kokang was only one-tenth of the price of marrying a local woman as a wife. If you found a Burmese woman as a wife, you didn't have to worry about the difficulties of her relatives and friends. You could treat her however you wanted as long as they didn't run away.
Ever since the good conditions provided by Kokang were widely spread, more than a million old bachelors over the age of 30 in Yunnan seemed to have heard the good news. Half of them rushed here, hoping to find a wife as soon as possible.
Yue Hua Yang and Lin Fang thought that these people's thoughts were unbelievable, but when more and more people thought about this, it became a trend. Some parents even planned to come to Myanmar to prepare for their sons. They also planned to buy a girl who was about the same age as their son and raise her at home. When their son grew up, he could marry this girl. They called it a child bride. It was almost a guaranteed business. Their plan was very good because all the people in the border areas had the same plan. Many of them were ethnic minorities, and sometimes they completely ignored the national policies. This also made them develop a habit. If they were dissatisfied with something, they would make a fuss. As long as it was a matter, the central government would send people over to appease them.
Because some of the things they talked about in the car were overheard by other unrelated people, some people came to curry favor with the three of them. Liu Zhengqin agreed to all the social interactions, which made Lin Fang and Yue Huayang quite speechless. They could only keep silent. When the people around them saw their silence, almost all of them thought that it was a profound habit.
The bus from Dali to Lin Cang started at 7 am. After six hours and 20 minutes of travel, they finally arrived at Lincang City at 13:20 pm. However, when they went to ask about Nanzhen City, they were told that the tickets for the next five days had been sold out.
Nanzhen City was also known as Nansan City by the Guogan people. It was the name of Nansan Town after it merged with Zhenkang County. It was a county-level city. The central government gave the city the name Nanzhen Border, but on the other side of the border, several regional forces and the Myanmar government were very disgusted with the name. They, including Kokang, were still used to calling the city Nansan or Nansan City because they felt that it was a protective umbrella in southern Yunnan and a place for them to avoid disasters.
At the bus station in Lincang City, those illegal taxis came over after hearing the news. They asked every passenger who had just gotten off the bus, Are we going to Nansan?
If they received an affirmative answer, they would start to talk to the passenger. After both parties had discussed the price, they would immediately be led to a private car. Once the car was full, it would immediately depart.
After they got off the bus, they were also surrounded by a few similar people. Their prices were about the same, and the only standard was based on the speed and comfort of the bus. However, when they got off the bus and went straight to the ticket office, they ignored them. Even though they said that the ticket office had long since stopped selling tickets to the Southern Umbrella.
Many people wouldn't give up until they had a clear answer. In the end, many people only started to pay attention to those private customers after they went to the ticket office. Those private customers weren't angry, as if they were used to such things. They also accompanied them to the ticket office and walked around. They only went up to talk when they realized that there were really no more tickets. After the passengers got off the bus, they waited until they had a business deal with them. In the end, they led them to the location of the private car.
Yue Hua Yang and the other two also made the only choice, because the conditions given by each of the customers were very good, which was: If the bus did not send them to their destination, they could refuse to pay the fare.
After Yue Huayang and the other two agreed, the man led them to a small electric car and told them that the driver would send them to the location.
The small electric car drove for more than a kilometer before finally turning into a large courtyard. There were two buses parked on the left and right of the courtyard. The names of tourist attractions from a certain place to a certain place were clearly written on the glass of the buses. Seeing this, it was just as the person who was trying to attract customers said. The bus was absolutely safe.
One of the two buses was almost completely new, and most of the passengers were already seated. It seemed that the bus would only need another eight or nine passengers to reach its maximum capacity. Once the number of passengers was enough, it could depart.
Yue Hua Yang saw that they had a one-stop service from getting customers to transporting them to taking the bus. This had already formed a very complete organization. Perhaps they had done this often before, and everything was so familiar.
After they sat down, they waited for less than 10 minutes. As they said, the car started up and drove out of the courtyard. After driving for more than 10 minutes in the spirit supermarket area, the car turned onto a flat road. According to the road sign, they knew that they had arrived at Provincial Road 319. After more than an hour, the car turned to Provincial Road 313. The car drove on this provincial road for nearly 6 hours. During this period, he had already reached Provincial Road 231.
The road was full of twists and turns, and everyone had long lost their sense of direction. The only thing that could tell the direction was the direction of the sun shining through the car window. In the evening, the sun was faintly discernible in the mountains, and the car was also dim. However, the sun soon set, and the mountains became darker and darker. In fact, the car lights had already been turned on, but everyone's eyes had not adapted to it.
Finally, the sky was completely dark. Other than the light emitted by the car, the whole world was dark. The people in the car were already sleepy. The two drivers in the car had been driving for nearly eight hours. They had to be highly concentrated because there were dangers lurking on both sides of the road. If they were not careful, they could easily drive into the ravine.
Along the way, they passed through the checkpoints set up by the Six Paths Army and the traffic police, but they passed through them peacefully. On the way here, they did not check strictly, but on the way back, they were especially strict.
Just like the bus they were on, everyone's ID card had to be seen, and everyone's luggage had to be checked. They even had to go through security scans, metal detectors, and sniffing by police dogs. All of this was done by the government to prevent unidentified people, even human trafficking, as well as drugs, guns, and other dangerous items from entering China.
When the car was undergoing routine inspection, Lin Fang looked at the strict inspection of the opposite car. She even wondered how the Burmese women who were bought could pass such an inspection. When she told Yue Hua Yang about this idea, Yue Hua Yang pointed to a country road that had just flashed past and asked her, Do you see this kind of country road? Such roads formed a large network in the country, extending in all directions. Do you think anyone can guard all of this road network?
Lin Fang looked at the small road that had just flashed past. After a moment of thought, she realized that the government could not completely defend such a road. They could only guard the key points of a few roads, such as bridges, tunnels, and even the ferry. However, such places could be bypassed through other places. Although some roads needed to be detoured for a long time, as long as they wanted to get through, they would definitely be able to find other ways.
As the car continued to move forward, a hazy light appeared in the sky on the other side of the mountain. It was a scene that would only appear when the city lights reflected on the sky at night. When the people in the car saw this scene, they screamed excitedly. Soon, everyone in the car became excited. Because they had finally arrived at their final destination.
Soon, the car drove into the city. Everyone in the car looked at the city because it was very easy to go to Kokang in this city. If they went through the normal checkpoints, they only needed to apply for a card and charge money into it. Just like taking a bus, they could pass through the border crossing. Of course, there were also some people who chose remote suburbs or even rural areas in order to save some money. They waded through shallow rivers or walked through hidden trails to reach the other side of the border. There were many such people, at least more than half of the people who passed through the border.
Nanzhen City was filled with people who came to seek opportunities. This small city with a local population of only 200,000 had suddenly accommodated 400,000 people. As a result, groups of pedestrians could be seen everywhere in Nanzhen City. Since the beginning of the Kokang War, guns were rampant on the other side of the border, causing a huge hidden danger to the security of the border. The government had no choice but to send troops to guard the border and the city again and again. At this moment, there were already 50,000 people scattered all over the city, of which 30,000 were stationed at the border alone.
Ever since the Kokang War, Nanzhen City had been overcrowded. All kinds of infrastructure were operating at an overload, and there was no room for any changes. Ever since the Kokang side gained benefits from the war, the Burmese women they obtained from the war were sold to the Chinese at a very low price. This was to the liking of the Chinese and even tied some of the Chinese to their profit machine. However, their actions were more effective. They attracted a large number of domestic bachelors who traveled thousands of miles to come here. These old bachelors were more difficult to manage and more extreme. The local government could not do anything about such people. They only thought that they could go one by one. Therefore, the control at the border was basically to deal with the higher-ups or the reconnaissance satellites and reconnaissance drones in the sky during the day. At night, it was more casual. However, it was basically easy to get out, but it was not easy to come back in. As for those who wanted to sneak in, or those who wanted to bring things that the government did not allow when entering the port, they were discovered. First, they were locked up in a small black room for half a month. They were talking about investigating the true identity of the immigrants. They might even be fined for making a mountain out of a molehill. They might even be threatened with imprisonment. This was mainly because some soldiers wanted to use this as an excuse to get some money and things. After all, in a situation where prices had risen tenfold, everyone wanted to hold as much money and things as possible.
After entering the city, the bus moved very slowly. A driver began to charge the people in the bus 18,000 yuan per person, which was more than ten times more expensive than before. However, this price had already been fixed. Everyone had their own matters to attend to, so they were very cooperative and paid the money. After the driver had collected everyone's money, the bus stopped at a place that was not a bus station. The passengers in the bus quickly dispersed. Yue Hua Yang and the other two also got out of the bus. This was the first time he had set foot on the land of Nansan after two years.
He stood there, looking in the familiar direction. His gaze had not left for a long time. Beside him, a man and a woman also looked in his direction. However, the man's face was filled with excitement, while the woman's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
