Chapter 164: Hard Journey

The weather in Wacheng is very hot. Even if Tang Han works overtime, he only goes to four or five stores every day. It’s okay to see some stores that have a lot of inventory. If you only have one seller and don’t like it, this trip will be considered a waste.

However, over the past few days, Tang Han has traveled all over the corners of Wacheng, and has a clear understanding of the scenery of Wacheng. These informants are all eloquent people. Whenever Tang Han asks about it, the home gave birth to a few puppies and the west got married to a few wives, so that he can understand the folk customs of Burmese better.

I haven't met many top-quality treasures these two days, but Tang Han kept training his abilities and worked hard to learn bargaining. He bought a lot of jadeites such as hibiscus and beans. Tang Han thought that it would be good to go back to take these as gifts, but he didn't know if the seller would be angry to death if he knew it.

Liu Yifeng and Lu Xiangdong were also busy in Wacheng. When they were out of stock, they went to several major jewelry companies in Wacheng, such as Jin Gu, Red Baolong, etc.

It was the day when we set out to the source of jadeite in Kachin State, and both of us also gained their own gains. Liu Yifeng bought seven large and small jadeite wool materials, Lu Xiangdong, and more than ten yuan. Needless to say, Tang Han moved more than twenty jadeite wool materials to his home, ranging from less than one kilogram to more than one hundred kilograms.

It is particularly worth mentioning that because several parties involved did not mention it, Jin En's old jade was not affected by Tang Han and soon took action. The price was not low, with a 4 million yuan. It was bet back by a merchant in Jieyang, Guangdong at a high price.

When Lu Xiangdong heard A Biao talk about the news with regret, he also felt sorry for him, saying that he had no regrets, that was a lie.

Tang Han was thinking about which unlucky guy bought it back, so he would not be considered sorry to the owner. Moreover, the big guys in Jieyang had money, and buying it for four million is nothing, but losing three million is nothing!

On this day, when several people were about to set off to the jade mining area in northern Myanmar, Lu Xiangdong and the others did not forget to sigh, the glass is bright green! For experts who are loyal to jade green, it is definitely the best jade.

Tang Hanze replied with a smile, "Teacher Lu has gained a lot of money this trip!"

Lu Xiangdong saw that he smiled so calmly, and he didn't know whether he was right or wrong when he heard his words. Later, he simply didn't think about it and was determined to go to the source of jade.

Jingu Company arranged to visit the jade mining area this time. In addition to Tang Han, there were five domestic experts and scholars doing geological research. Several of them came from Ruili on land to Mujie, Myanmar, and drove all the way to the dusty road. Myanmar's gems are famous all over the world. In addition to jewelry merchants like Tang Han, a group of geologists also wanted to find out what kind of environment created such a miracle.

When the group gathered together, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a mighty one. After introducing each other, Tang Han realized that most of them were professors from the School of Geology, including Professor Yang from a university in Bihai. When they met fellow villagers in a foreign land, the two seemed particularly intimate.

Yang Fangzhou was in his fifties and was still at the peak of his career. This time, he was led by Jingu Company. After approval from the senior officials of the Myanmar government, he was very happy in his heart. Because the Myanmar government had basically not opened northern Myanmar to the public before, it was difficult for foreigners to enter, and with local conflicts, fewer people could go there. Recently, the political situation was stable, and the Myanmar government had particularly opened the jade mining area so that they could fulfill their long-cherished wish.

After hearing the introduction, Tang Han was also from Bihai, Yang Fangzhou remembered that the two had met at the Bihai Treasure and Jade Association. There was another reason that impressed him at that time. Tang Han and Qin Yue, the live treasure brother and sister, could not forget anyone. However, when Tang Han was alone, he did not recognize him for a while, and he didn't know what Tang Han would feel after he knew it.

In addition, Xinyue Jewelry has been very popular in the blue sea recently. When Liu Yifeng and the others exposed their identity as founder in order to improve Tang Han's status, Yang Fangzhou couldn't help but look at Tang Han with a different look.

Tang Han was naturally modest. Liu Yifeng took the opportunity to pull Tang Han over and said with a smile, "I think even if Ahan goes to the Gem Academy to give a lecture, he will not be worse than them."

Tang Han waved his hand in a hurry, "Teacher Liu, don't embarrass me. If you want me to explain the principles of jade formation, a series of knowledge structures, it's better to let me hit the wall."

"You have a specialty in academics, but you are still young! If you want these experts and professors to study jadeite rough stones, you may not be as good as me!" Liu Yifeng smiled and cheered Tang Han up.

Tang Han Xiaoxiao passed by, and he also met Yang Chuanyu, the boss of Jingu Company again. Because the name given to several people this time was foreign VIP, the entire journey from Wacheng to Pagan was the Myanmar National Security Bureau.

This was the first time Tang Han encountered such a special courtesy with high standards, but he didn't understand that this was not for him alone, and he accepted it calmly afterwards.

Having said that, if the Myanmar National Security Bureau had not come forward, the safety of the people of the group might not have been guaranteed. The disputes between the Myanmar government forces and local troops have never stopped for the interests of the mines. Therefore, although the people in the government-controlled areas are simple and peaceful, when they go to the mining areas where important interests are related, various forces are intertwined and complicated, and people without any background dare not go.

Freedom is limited! When Tang Han was still sighing, Lu Xiangdong was smiling and said, "It's actually enough to go and see it." At this time, saving your life is the most important thing.

Even so, there are still countless explorers who go to the jade paradise one after another. It may be incredible to ordinary people, but for these fanatical gem lovers, there is nothing to do with it. Like it is like it.

Before leaving, Tang Han called his home, and his expression seemed to be like a hero who had gone away. This separation made the two girls cry, and they just wished they had not grown wings and flew over.

The whole journey from Wacheng to Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State, is 760 kilometers. It is too troublesome to pass the bus. Because there are too few people in the group and the attempt to take the plane, Tang Han had to take the train with Burmese characteristics unwilling to be reluctant.

The Myanmar National Security Bureau sent a staff member, Kim Neng, to be responsible for the safety of his group. Kim Nengyou had a black face and a firm look. Although he didn't say much, he had an irresistible smell. Tang Han could see that he was a very dedicated person.

In addition, there are several experts and professors of two young Chinese staff members who come to Myanmar's travel agency, who also serve as Chinese-Myanmar translator.

Tang Han waited again and again at Wacheng Railway Station, which has a very national architectural style, and endured unprecedented suffering.

There is no waiting hall at the train station in Wacheng, and the group can only wait in the big passage. Even in April, the weather in Wacheng is still extremely hot. The most depressing thing is that it is not allowed to enter the station. However, under the eaves, people have to bow their heads and complain, but they still need to wait and patience.

It was seven o'clock in the evening that Tang Han then walked into the station with his box.

Tang Han wondered if it was because Myanmar did not have family planning, so the stage was full of passengers, densely packed, sitting and standing, which was very lively, but it also made the atmosphere even more dry and hot. Tang Han had also been to Bihai Railway Station, but there were not as many people here.

The climate is hot and the lights are dim, but in a foreign country, the group can only look at me and wait silently.

Fortunately, there were many children who were selling bamboo fans in the crowd, and Tang Han also bought a handful of them. He didn't have much luggage, only one or two pieces of changing clothes. Moreover, he didn't know if he could take a bath.

When the train entered the station, all the patience was almost gone, except for three Burmese people including Jinneng.

Jin Neng, the intelligence officer of the Security Bureau, led his group into the dark carriage, which was a special special train carriage for foreign VIPs.

Fortunately, Tang Han had a strong light flashlight with him, which came in handy at this time. He met with Liu Lu and the other two's strong light flashlight, and the group then put their things and took their seats.

After a long time, the fluorescent lights and incandescent lights turned on, and then the crowd saw clearly that this luxury train was a British luxury train about fifty years ago. It had a wide seat and shutters. But there was no room for a while. In the hot weather, the group kept shaking the bamboo fans.

Liu Yifeng was smiling and said that time seemed to flow back decades ago, without electric fans, and there was no air, and everyone felt like they were shaking the fan to dissipate heat and repel mosquitoes.

Although he had read other people's previous information and was a little mentally prepared, Tang Han was still shocked by the way the Myanmar train started.

After swaying left and right, it started to tumbling up and down, shaking all the way, as if it was about to overturn the car, and the luggage rolled down the luggage rack. People couldn't stand firmly and could only hold on to the things fixed around them.

After a long time, people who are used to taking domestic trains have adapted.

Amid the mutual teasing, most people couldn't sleep well all night. Tang Han thought it would be strange if he had a good sleep in such a bumpy environment.

After staying up until dawn, I thought I could see the scenery along the way, but Tang Han felt a little better.

But the sight is full of undeveloped forests, which look so desolate and lifeless. This is the cool season in Myanmar, and the best time to pick jade up the mountain. Once the rainy season enters, the roads in Myanmar will become muddy, with people and animals unable to pass through, and jade cannot be mined. However, there is no rain, the rice fields are dry, and only the bare trunks of deciduous trees are left, which looks extremely desolate and lonely.

And all the houses and lives between heaven and earth seem so small.

Helpless, helpless, and hopeless, Tang Han looked at the people around him and obviously fell into a confused and confused way he was thinking about what life is and what special meaning it has.

This situation made Tang Han miss the beauty of his hometown. Although he once complained, it was many times better than the situation here.

In order to pass this boring time, Tang Han chatted with Liu Yifeng and others.

When talking about the end of this trip, the source of jade, several people became excited. Unfortunately, they gradually lost their language after a short while. Because the train was still bumping up and down, everyone was too lazy to speak in the end, and only heard the clanging sound of the carriage.

Waiting and waiting, enduring and enduring, I suffered more than 30 hours on the train. The train finally arrived at the important town in northern Myanmar, Myitkyina, at 3 a.m.

Under the escort and supervision of several intelligence personnel who received the news, Tang Han and his group left the train station and settled in the Myitkyina Hotel.

The first thing almost everyone wants to do is take a shower and have a stable sleep. Although Tang Han has exercised, he cannot withstand such torture. I think this is even more true for those old professors in their sixties. No one wants to move when they arrive at the hotel, and they don’t want to go out for a walk.

Myanmar's intelligence personnel called to ensure their safety and would not allow them to wander around. Fortunately, everyone was at peace and stayed in the hotel to make up for the two days of sleep.

As noon approached, Tang Han and his party were shouted from the bed and set out from Myitkyina to Pagan.

These intelligence personnel in Myanmar are familiar with the road, and Jinneng is also very dedicated. They got four new Toyota Colora cars. This car has excellent shock absorption performance and is especially suitable for driving on rugged roads. Tang Han of Myanmar's railway has seen it, and he doesn't expect anything from their highways.

At the front is Jinneng's off-road vehicle leading the way, followed by three familiar people Tang Han and Liu Yifeng. The driver is a simple young man and his driving skills are also very good.

In the middle, there were several experts and professors Yang Fangzhou, and at the end were two staff members of the travel agency.

The windshield windows in front of several cars were pasted with the words "Foreign VIP" in Burmese to indicate the special identity of the group, both for safety reasons and for the sake of other cars to give way.

There are many checkpoints along the road, and soldiers with live ammunition are guarding. Although their tools to stop cars are simple, it is still very difficult to break through here.

However, Jinneng from the intelligence department opened the road ahead, and all checkpoints were unobstructed.

Meng Gong was the first important town from Myitkyina to Pagan, and it was also an important checkpoint. After Jin Neng completed the relevant procedures here, Tang Han and his group continued to move forward.

After arriving at Nahan, the asphalt pavement also came to an end. From Nahan to the mountainous area, the road was covered with soil, sand and gravel, and there was basically no road, so we could only follow the ruts pushed out by some large trucks.

Lu Xiangdong was just saying that this was pretty good. There was no road here before, and it was all driven by shoulders and hand, while the large jade was transported out with elephants.

Because there is no rain, dust, and air conditioning, the car windows cannot be closed, so people can only be exposed to the dust. In a short while, they will be covered in dust and their hair will turn yellow.

There are tall and dense forests on both sides of the road, mainly teak, tall and thick, distributed throughout the mountains. There are all kinds of dangerous animals, including miasma, poisonous mosquitoes, etc. In ancient times, many people who hunt treasures and adventures were buried in this primeval forest.
