I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Chapter 12 Boss Hu from Colombia
Chen Yaozu's mouth twitched. He didn't say anything. He just nodded perfunctorily and got in the car.

Freedom?

On the surface, it means freedom.

This context usually refers to the state of freedom from some kind of bondage, the rights and status of freedom, meaning that one was a prisoner or a slave before?
It's as if the East doesn't allow people to immigrate, and it seems like no one is stopping her!
What the hell is bondage?

It's clearly cricket country.

Looking at this woman's graceful demeanor, she doesn't look like a poor person. The camera and lens in her hand alone are worth at least 10 yuan.

He is a journalist, and his every move and every word are so confident and calm. He is clearly a petty bourgeois who has benefited from domestic activities.

However, what Chen Yaozu couldn't understand was that for someone like him who was convicted of a murder, it would be fine if Amika had to go on.

Why is this little bourgeois joining in the fun of hiking?

Is there something wrong with your brain?
If you are a person at the bottom of society and are in debt, it is understandable that you would use up all your online loans like donuts to rush in and give it a try.

It is equivalent to a poor person going to work in a more economically developed place. If he fails, he will be finished.

Like the woman just now, she has some money, but she doesn’t have the capital to immigrate through the proper route. I don’t even know what she is doing in America!
You should know that the minimum investment required for EB-5 investment immigration is 80 US dollars. America is very relaxed about investment immigration now, after all, the economy is in a severe downturn.

In other words, although the woman in front of you looks like a petty bourgeois, she actually can't even take out 80 US dollars.

It can be seen that what constrained her was not the East that did not allow her to immigrate, but the money in her pocket. It did not support America to accept her, so she could only enter America by walking.

But he can't even come up with 80 U.S. dollars. As a middle-class bourgeois, why doesn't he enjoy his little life in his own country? Instead, he comes to America at this time. Isn't this asking for trouble?
What can I do when I come?
I don’t know how many professors, teachers, and middle-class people of all types have fallen into these traps.

The reason why these middle-class people can get along well in the country is because they have various certificates that are recognized in the country and various connections.

But you changed your world and came to America to seek freedom. Who would recognize your certificate? Who would recognize your qualifications? Where would you get your connections?
In the end, I can’t even find a job, what should I eat?
To be honest, Chen Yaozu couldn’t figure out what the professor who lived in the sewer was thinking.

But this has nothing to do with him. His most important task now is to reach America, so as to avoid being caught and shot at any time.

The car was almost full. Antonio Simmons went to pick up a group of people somewhere else first, and then came to the hotel to pick them up. It looked like there were about 20 people.

There were a few South Americans, but most were Asian, most likely Oriental, with only two black people.

"Mr. Chen, please sit here!"

Antonio Simmons pointed to the first seat behind the driver and said to Chen Yaozu with a smile.

This was the place he reserved for the Eastern wizard.

Chen Yaozu nodded to him: "Thank you!"

Then it sat down.

Antonio Simmons said yes. After the mother and daughter of the reporter came up and sat down, he coughed and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since the journey has begun again, we must take the first step of the journey."

"First of all, let me explain that this trip north is very dangerous!

Not to mention the other dangers you may encounter on the road, the mosquitoes in South America alone can be deadly to outsiders like you.

So, the first step of our journey now is to get vaccinated against yellow fever to avoid being killed by a tiny mosquito on the road.

Especially for Oriental people, the environment you live in is too clean, which may cause your bodies to be less adapted to South American mosquitoes.

That’s why you should get vaccinated.”

On the way to the clinic in the minibus, a young man in his twenties or thirties patted Chen Yaozu's seat behind him and spoke in a beefy voice.

"Brother, the guide respects you very much. Is your last name Chen?
I'm from Northeast China, my name is Zeng Hongbing, where are you from?"

Chen Yaozu turned around and glanced at him. He was of medium build, about 1 meters tall, with the sophistication of a man over 75, and a buzz cut. He replied, "I'm from Guangdong Province, Chen Yaozu!"

Zeng Hongbing was a little skeptical: "From Guangdong Province? Look at his figure, he doesn't look like one! He doesn't even have an accent when he speaks.

If you hadn’t told me, I would have thought he was from Shandong!”

Then he waved his hand and said: "No matter where you are from, everyone is your fellow countryman when you go abroad, although before I came here many people said that the last people you should trust when you are abroad are your fellow countrymen.

But we haven’t reached America yet!

I did my homework before coming here. This road is not easy to walk on now, unlike in previous years.

Although it was dangerous in the past few years, it was only dangerous on the road or in the rainforest.

But now, I heard that there are gangs on the road who specifically make money from people like us who are informants!

So, I thought, a friend in need is a friend indeed, so let’s help each other and take care of each other on the road!
Zu! What do you think? "

Chen Yaozu nodded perfunctorily. The other party was right in saying that the people you can least trust when you go abroad are your fellow countrymen.

Because they can't cheat foreigners. Compared with foreigners, these fellow countrymen who have just gone abroad are more likely to be cheated and easier to fool.

Of course this is only a part of it, most of it is still good.

However, this was only his understanding before he traveled through time. As for this world, he only had a few months of memory from his original body and did not know much about the situation in these foreign countries.

But they are all pretty much the same!
That’s human nature!
Seeing that he had no desire to chat, Zeng Hongbing turned around and started chatting with the female reporter who was taking the photo horizontally. However, he had the quality of a citizen after all, so he kept his voice very low and did not disturb others.

The clinic is not big, but there are a lot of people getting vaccinated!

“Mr. Chen, although this clinic is quite small, the vaccines it administers are of the best quality.

Because this is a clinic jointly promoted by our guides.

Almost all the migrants who set out on foot from Judu will come here to get a shot of vaccine before leaving.

So the quality here is the best in Quito, and of course it is also the most expensive.”

Chen Yaozu nodded. He knew that, just like a tour guide, he would get commission for taking customers to a certain tourist attraction or store to buy things.

I believe the same is true for Antonio Simmons. As I said, the world is pretty much the same.

In this clinic, there are more Asians, or to be more specific, more Orientals.

However, we followed different guides, but the routes we took were similar.

After getting the vaccination, we got on a chartered minibus and headed straight to the border between Colombia and Ecuador.

There are roads between Colombia and Ecuador, so this section of the road is easy to travel, but the rest of the way is not so easy.

During this period, Zeng Hongbing said: “The routes taken by others may be robbed two or three times in Colombia.

But there are seniors online who have successfully done this and recommend Antonio Simmons, whose route is much safer. "

Sure enough, since entering Colombia, they had not encountered any gang robbery and soon arrived not far from the border.

Not far from the border jungle, after entering Colombia, the newly changed minibus took people into the largest oriental store in this border town.

That's right!

This is a store opened by an Oriental, and it sells Oriental products!

“Gentlemen and ladies.

Next we need to resupply.

Ahead is the border rainforest between Colombia and Panama. Everyone must buy what you need for hiking through the rainforest before entering the rainforest.

These are supplies from the East, and their quality is guaranteed.

From here on, you will say goodbye to the comfortable migration by car and start hiking.

So you have to buy the goods suitable for hiking in this Oriental store. First, you have to choose the right hiking shoes. Ask the boss for recommendations. He is very experienced!
You also need to buy raincoats, quick-drying clothes, and socks.

The most important thing is, kettle, write it all down, use your phone to write it down!
Although your cell phone has no signal, you can use it to take notes!

For a kettle, you should buy the kind that are the Oriental military kettles that can be disassembled and used as a pot, a lunch box, or a pot to heat food. Nothing can better ensure your life safety than getting hot food in the rainforest.

You also need a tent. The tents in the store are light and easy to use.

It rains at any time in the rain forest, and it is impossible to spend the night without a tent.

And there’s food!

You must absolutely trust the boss's professionalism. Although it is a bit expensive and may taste a bit unpalatable, it can better replenish calories and provide a sense of fullness.

I suggest that you don't buy those instant noodles that look delicious. The most practical thing is the hard military rations.

Although these military rations from the East are not as varied as those from America, they are indeed very filling.

This can be a life saver in the rainforest!

The most important thing is that you have mosquito repellent. Of course, you don’t have to use it, but if you don’t, you will have to face mosquitoes that are bigger than dragonflies.

If you want to use it, it would be a good idea to prepare some more oriental cooling oil and wind oil.

Let me be serious, if a store owner recommends a kind of floral water called Liushen, it is for repelling mosquitoes, not perfume.

There are leeches in the tropical rainforest, two or three Amazonian giant centipedes as tall as humans, and various poisonous insects.

Therefore, each of you will get a first aid kit prepared by the store, which contains the necessary medical items for crossing the rainforest.

In addition to a lighter, you also need to prepare a magnesium rod as the fire source is humid in the rainforest and it is easy for a lighter to fail to light a fire.

Let me say this here, when you enter the rainforest, don’t rely on others, you must be prepared, otherwise if you die in there, don’t blame me for not reminding you.

Everyone needs to carry a knife. The knives in this store have a compass on the handle, which can save lives in the rain forest.

But the good news is that the rainforest, which seems dangerous and is actually dangerous, is not very far away.

If you walk fast, it will take three to five days; if you walk slowly, it will take eight to ten days.

Just past the rainforest!
After passing the rain forest, you will reach Panama, and then you can take a bus north.

Okay, after we finish shopping, we will go to the edge of the rain forest to rest for a night, and then we will start to enter the rain forest tomorrow."

After Antonio Simmons had said everything he needed to say, he waved his hand and the minibus door opened to let the people get off.

After getting off the bus, Chen Yaozu looked up at the sign of the store in front of him. Four large, square characters were clearly written there: "Department Store."

The sign is very new.

Chen Yaozu smacked his lips. Is this such a strong sense of national pride?

Or, are they specifically trying to do business with their fellow countrymen in the East and cheat their own people?

However, I saw local Colombians buying things in the department store, so this should be a department store specializing in selling oriental products.

He was about to follow everyone over, but Antonio Simmons stopped him from behind: "Mr. Chen, you don't have to go. We have already arranged supplies for you."

Of course Antonio Simmons couldn't let this oriental wizard go shopping by himself. After all, he had said in Quito that he would send him to the American border for free.

"Oh, OK!"

Since he had arranged everything, Chen Yaozu was happy to enjoy it and followed Antonio into the back door of the store, where someone was already waiting for them.

"Anthony, long time no see!"

An oriental man smiled and hugged Antonio, then hugged Cindy.

Then he looked at Chen Yaozu with some surprise. After all, it was the first time that Antonio brought someone other than his own clerk in through the back door of the store.

So he asked:

"Is this your new recruit?"

Antonio quickly shook his head: “No, no, no, this is my distinguished guest, and also one of your Orientals.

Mr. Chen, this is Hu.

Hu, this is Mr. Chen. "

The oriental boss named Hu was a little surprised, but he still smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Chen!
My name is Hu Xiaoquan, not the Zhang Xiaoquan who has the kitchen knife!

Hu Jianren, nice to meet you! "

"Chen Yaozu, from Guangdong Province!
I am also very happy to see such a large oriental department store in South America.

No wonder some people say that Hu Jian people are not just Hu Jian people in the East, but also Hu Jian people all over the world! "

Chen Yaozu also extended his hand, and the two of them complimented each other in a businesslike manner and shook hands, very enthusiastically but also perfunctorily.

Hu Xiaoquan is indeed a businessman, and he is an expert at showing perfunctory enthusiasm.

"Hu, have someone prepare some supplies for Mr. Chen, too!"

Antonio said from the side: "Put it on my account!"

"Okay, but since Mr. Chen is your friend and my fellow villager, this supply is free, I'll give it to you as a gift!

I'll prepare it myself!

Have some tea and cakes first, I'll be right back!"

Boss Hu made them some tea and then left. Antonio did not hide anything and explained with a smile, "We are in a cooperative relationship, and the materials here are twice as expensive as those in other places.

Some of them are even sold to these hikers at several times the price, but since we brought them here, there is no other way except to buy them here.

So, we also have income from this money.

In Hu's words, making money is not shameful! "

The last six words were pronounced in Eastern Chinese, but they sounded a bit stiff and the pronunciation wasn't quite accurate, but you could still understand what they meant.

Cindy was worried that Chen Yaozu would overthink it, so she immediately explained, "In fact, compared to the money we earn, the money we save for them is already a lot.

Our route was much safer than the routes taken by others, and we avoided several invisible checkpoints of the gangs along the way.

The routes taken by other guides required them to pass through looting by at least 4 to 5 gangs.

Mr. Chen should have seen it on Twitter. There are some posts by you Orientals there. You were robbed seven or eight times along the way, even your clothes were taken away.

Then he just waited outside the bank, waiting for those Orientals to withdraw money.

We avoided those routes and saved these people a huge loss.”

Chen Yaozu had heard about this and nodded, it was a kickback!
It's nothing new!

You can’t even imagine that this department store actually sells Shaxian snacks!
A group of hikers who came to South America for several days, whether from Asia or Africa, paid a lot of money to eat Shaxian snacks, as if they were eating some delicacy.

After eating and drinking and resting for a night, everyone was woken up early the next morning before dawn. Everyone needed to buy an expensive flashlight and then set off.

"We have to cross the border, so it's safer to start in the dark."
