Chapter 1535 Stuck (2/2)

Myanmar was known for producing fruits. Although the fruits on the mountain were expensive, they tasted nice. The pineapples were sweet and juicy. The durian was not too strong in taste and was aromatic and sweet.

After some time, the suited man walked over with a few companions. He waved and greeted, ”Ah, Master Pao, Mr. Li, Mr. Mao, how are you guys doing? Such a coincidence for us to bump into each other here.”

Zhong Da Pao laughed. ”Tulsi, was it you behind the issue at the customs?”

Tulsi threw out his hands and feigned confusion. ”What customs? I don't know about that. I'm just strolling around here. Ah, the air in the mountains after the rain is really good.”

Zhong Da Pao waved his hands and said, ”Forget it, Tulsi. Tell us what you want. This is exactly why I cannot hold you guys in high regard. What ploy are you thinking about when you don't have enough brains for that? For someone trying to feign like you, it's just hilarious.”

Hearing that, the corner of Tulsi's lips twitched. He grinned and said, ”I'm not feigning, but I understand what you're talking about. You guys have many foreigners with you. Therefore, you can't pass without having some special connections, right?”

Zhong Da Pao glared at him. ”In the past, I could cross, but not today.”

Tulsi smiled. ”All of you can't pass through, right?”

He looked at Da Mao. With a sincere look, he said, ”Mr. Mao, hello. Our boss is very keen to become friends with you. He is waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain. Hope that you will give him some face and meet him.”

Although Da Mao had a big mouth and liked joking around, he was timid and did not dare to offend others.

Now, he had been enjoying a good working relationship with Li Du, Zhong Da Pao and the rest. Although he had not made a lot of money yet, his income was more than he expected. Besides, it helped him to gain experience. Hence, he did not have any desire to join another group.

However, he did not dare to reject Tulsi outright. He did not dare to offend the other party. After all, they were also powerful local people. It was too easy for them to deal with a foreigner like him who had no status or power.

He had seen a lot in his short life and learned the danger and risks in Hpakant. He also knew that if he was not careful, he might lose his life there.

Hence, he was in a fix. Fortunately, he was rather good on his feet. He had an idea very soon.

He only looked to Tulsi helplessly and then waved his hands to say, ”Ahhh baa, ahhh baa, ahhh baa, ahhh baa…”

Nobody expected that. Tulsi's face went pale and Liu Zi burst into laughter.

Zhong Da Pao kicked Liu Zi. Then, he started to make some signs to Da Mao.

Da Mao, too, did some hand signs. They did not know what the two men were trying to tell each other. In any case, Da Mao looked frightened. He hugged himself and then squatted in the middle of the group.

Zhong Da Pao said to Tulsi helplessly, ”Sorry, my nephew Da Mao is a deaf-mute. I have tried to communicate with him in sign language. He's very timid and does not dare to leave my side.”

Tulsi said with a deadpan look, ”Master Pao, smart people will get straight to the point. Mr. Mao is no deaf-mute. Rather, he is very eloquent. In addition, his last name is Mao and yours is Zhong. How can you guys be uncle and nephew?”

Zhong Da Pao said righteously, ”Oh, this is part of our local tradition. Let me tell you, Mr. Mao is really my nephew. However, his father took the last name of my father's. As for me, I went with my mother's last name.”

Tulsi, who had been trying hard to control himself, could not take it any longer. He pointed at them and said, ”Nonsense!”

Zhong Da Pao's face instantly darkened. He said, ”Are you insulting me? Tulsi, is it because I no longer wield a knife? Or is it because you have become more daring?”

Tulsi laughed coolly and then left. After a short while, he returned and said, ”Master Pao, I have a suggestion. Why don't you consider it?”
