Chapter 1590 - 1588: Trading with Bandits
"Clearly, hiring a car to the town should at most be one thousand Huaxia Currency, yet you say it costs three thousand. What else could this be but a scam?" The girl who took Wang Dadong’s money didn’t seem to have gone for a bath or changed clothes. Her face was still dirty, but her eyes were bright and wide.
"Brother, if you want to go to the town, I can help you find a car." The girl completely ignored the killing stares of the young couple and turned around, smiling at Wang Dadong.
"You can find a car?" Wang Dadong looked at the girl.
He just wanted to get to the town early and then head quickly to the Snow Mountain. Three thousand, thirty thousand, even three hundred thousand, for him and Qin Xue, was like a drop in the ocean.
But since the girl offered to help him, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Moreover, that young couple were pimps. If he really took their car, who knows what other troubles it might bring.
Wang Dadong wasn’t afraid of their tricks, he just didn’t want to waste time.
"Brother, wait a moment." The girl nodded at Wang Dadong and then quickly ran off.
"Unlucky!" The young couple looked extremely displeased, but since it was a public place, they didn’t dare to do anything, muttering complaints while looking for other targets.
After about a few minutes, a somewhat old-fashioned SUV drove over, the driver was a middle-aged uncle who seemed quite honest.
"Bahasha, are these your friends you mentioned?" The uncle looked at Wang Dadong and Qin Xue and asked honestly.
The girl smiled and nodded, saying, "Uncle Baalma, these are my friends, they want to go to Annapurna Town, can you charge them less?"
"Bahasha, you know, the cheapest is 80 pounds." Baalma said.
"No problem." The girl said happily.
Baalma looked at Wang Dadong again, who indicated he had no problem with it.
pounds, converted into Huaxia Currency, was less than a thousand.
"Then get in the car."
Wang Dadong put Qin Xue’s luggage and his own backpack in the trunk, then got in the car with Qin Xue.
Before the car left, the girl also got in the car and sat in the front passenger seat.
"Baha... is it Bahasha? Are you coming with us?" Wang Dadong asked curiously.
"Brother, my name is awkward to pronounce, just call me Asha." The girl turned from the front seat with a bright smile and said, "Yes, Asha will go with you. Nepal is not like your Huaxia, especially in some remote areas, without a local to guide you, you might encounter many troubles."
"Wouldn’t that trouble you too much?" Wang Dadong felt a bit embarrassed.
"It’s no trouble at all, brother is a good person, he helped Asha, Asha can’t repay him, so let Asha guide you." The girl said innocently.
"Alright then." Wang Dadong nodded.
Asha had previously disrupted the pimps’ business, if she stayed here, they might retaliate, so letting Asha go with them was better.
The SUV started and slowly drove away from the station.
At first, it was relatively bustling, but after less than half an hour, the surroundings became somewhat desolate, and even the road was a bit bumpy.
Looking around, there were some farmlands, but nothing was growing in them.
The climate in Nepal isn’t very good for growing crops, but ironically, Nepal is an agriculture-based country, which leads to many people being unable to fill their stomachs and even living rough.
In fact, many families couldn’t afford to raise children, often abandoning them, especially girls, who were even less valued.
Perhaps Asha was one of those abandoned.
Wang Dadong guessed correctly, Asha was abandoned shortly after birth, fortunately picked up by an old scavenger, she was raised until eight years old, after which the old scavenger also starved to death, and Asha began to wander by herself.
Eventually, she wandered to this place.
Although Asha often had nothing to eat, she developed quite quickly, and at thirteen, she looked almost like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.
Thus, when she entered the business, she wasn’t even sixteen yet.
Although life was still hard, at least she wouldn’t starve or freeze to death.
Asha still remembered the first man she met. He only gave her a steamed bun...
It sounded quite sad, but that’s how it was, unlike the prosperous and rich Huaxia.
The car moved steadily, though bumpy, everything was relatively smooth.
At this speed, even moving slowly, they would reach Annapurna Town in three or four hours.
However, as the car drove to a mountain road, there were several large cobblestones blocking the way ahead.
The rocks weren’t too big, but it required two adult men to move them. But for Wang Dadong, it was nothing, and he immediately prepared to get out and move the stones aside.
"Brother, don’t get out of the car!" Just as Wang Dadong was about to open the car door, Asha suddenly turned around and said.
"What’s wrong?" Wang Dadong frowned and asked.
"Someone deliberately placed these stones here, but don’t worry, Asha will handle it." Asha nodded to Wang Dadong, then her gaze fell on Qin Xue, saying, "This pretty sister, please bury your head later, don’t let them see you."
Wang Dadong roughly guessed what Asha meant, just as he was about to say there was nothing to worry about, Asha took a deep breath, pushed the car door open, and jumped out.
Sure enough, as soon as Asha got out, a few rugged men rushed out from around the corner.
"Yo, it’s a woman." The men were in rags, rubbing their hands excitedly with gleaming eyes.
Seeing these people, Asha’s eyes also showed a trace of panic, but she forced herself to calm down and started talking to them in Nepali.
In a short time, Asha returned and said to Wang Dadong, "Brother, I’ll go with them for a while, and they’ll let us pass."
Saying this, she walked towards the ragged robbers.
"Hurry up, as long as you satisfy us, we won’t rob you."
"Damn, it’s been a long time since we saw a woman, there are too few tourists chartering cars, today is our lucky day."
"..."
The robbers drooled while making lewd laughs.
No choice, there were few people coming, they didn’t dare to rob buses because of too many people, so they could only stop such small cars.
Although the robbers were speaking in Nepali, Wang Dadong could understand it, so he knew what Asha was about to do.
