C353 No Man's Land

"Senior is truly a strong person. This method is truly satisfying!" Wan Cheng Jue laughed, those few big men were probably the people who ate the most pepper on Earth.

These gangsters had always treated him with respect and had never been as proud or arrogant as he was today. Furthermore, looking at the few burly men leaving, it was as if they were looking at a ghost when they were looking at Lin Bai. It was likely that these gangsters would never dare to come to Chinatown again!

"Brother Lin, thank you very much. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I would have to pay those people today!" Boss Qiu stood up and picked up a glass of wine. He looked at Lin Bai respectfully and said, "Brother, I will remember your kindness in my heart!"

"Boss Qiu is being too serious, it's just a small matter. I can't accept such a large gift from you." Seeing this, Lin Bai hurriedly stood up and clinked glasses with Boss Qiu. He raised his head and laughed, "We are all descendants of the Yan Huang family, and the children of Hua Xia, whoever is in trouble should lend a helping hand. Otherwise, how can we face this country whose blood is thicker than water!"

The way Sima Yi Lan looked at Lin Bai changed as she heard his words. Not only did he not take credit for his achievements, he was not greedy for fame. Furthermore, he had the attitude of a hero who was willing to stand up for people who had nothing to do with him. Since young, Sima Yi Lan had been like all the other little girls, hoping to marry a hero. Unfortunately, she had found one now, but there was no way for them to cross paths at all.

"If it weren't for Lady Yelan telling me that you were all right, I might have fought them myself! What method did you use to make them so afraid of you, Lin Bai? " The twist in the situation just now was too bizarre, it completely exceeded his knowledge. From start to finish, he did not know why the big guys were so afraid of Lin Bai.

Lin Bai laughed, "It's just an insignificant skill, not worth mentioning." Boss Qiu's culinary skills are truly exceptional. Unfortunately, I can only eat here. In the future, I won't have the chance to return home. "

"Since Brother Lin likes this soup of mine, I'll give you the recipe and some of the old soup. Even after returning home, you can drink it if you want, but it will take some effort." Boss Qiu was also a generous and efficient man. He immediately sent someone to the kitchen to prepare the soup. Then, he took pen and paper and handed over the ancestral secret recipe to Lin Bai without any reservation.

As He Jia Er was currently pregnant, he was most suitable to eat medicine to maintain his body. Furthermore, it was a taboo for pregnant women, so Boss Qiu's soup was very suitable. Lin Bai did not refuse and, after clasping his hands in thanks, kept the recipe.

"Ambassador Xiao, actually, I have something I want to ask you today." After three rounds of drinking, Lin Bai returned to the main topic at hand. He looked at Xiao Chengshu and spoke in a deep voice, "Ambassador Xiao, you've been in Mexico for so many years. I wonder if you've heard of any places devoid of people?"

"No one's land? I've never heard of this before. " Xiao Chengshu frowned and pondered for a while before he turned his head and looked at Hu Yanbin, who was in the midst of the gluttony, and said, "Old Hu, you're well-informed. I don't know if you've heard of such a place in Mexico?"

"Never heard of it." Hu Yanbin was flustered and waved his hand as he spat out the bone spur in his mouth.

He turned his head to look at Sima Yi Lan and saw that her face was filled with disappointment. Not willing to give up, he looked at Xiao Chengshu and Hu Yanbin and asked, "Then, have Ambassador Xiao and Counsellor Hu ever heard of any bloody grounds or cursed lands, even if they are similar?"

"Never heard of it." When they saw that Lin Bai's face was filled with unwillingness, Xiao Chengshu softly asked, "Brother Lin, I don't know why you are looking for these few places. If you have something important to do, I will have someone investigate them or call a friend that we know in Mexico and ask if there are any people you know."

"Then I'll be counting on you, Ambassador Xiao!" Lin Bai sighed and said in a deep voice. Although Xiao Chengshu spoke sincerely, one could tell from his expression that it was definitely not so easy to find these three places.

At this moment, Boss Qiu suddenly spoke up, "If we're talking about a place with no people, I know a place." That place is inside the rainforest, and only a few natives know about it, so Ambassador Xiao and Counsellor Hu, you two wouldn't know about it. "

"Boss Qiu, please explain in detail. That place has a lot to do with me." Sima Yi Lan revealed a delighted expression as she looked at Boss Qiu and said sincerely. The relationship between the water mirror and the nine palaces was extremely close. Even if there was only a sliver of hope, Sima Yi Lan was still unwilling to give up.

Lin Bai lightly patted Sima Yi's shoulder and said, "Miss Yi Lan, don't hurry Boss Qiu. As long as he knows about it, he'll definitely tell us everything!"

"It's fine, I know Miss Yilan is anxious, but this matter has been going on for too long. There are some things that I have to think about." Boss Qiu said after thinking for a while with a frown.

Lin Bai waved his hands and did not rush Boss Qiu, saying, "It's alright. You can think about it slowly, as long as you can remember."

"I know this was when I first arrived in Mexico. I was only 15 or 16 years old then, and my father died not two days after he took me to a foreign country. My family was poor, and I only know how to cook, but I didn't have the money to buy the ingredients, so I decided to go to that tropical rain forest outside the city …" A look of nostalgia appeared in Boss Qiu's eyes as he recounted the situation.

That was during the second world war. At that time, Fusang invaded a large piece of land in China, and many Chinese took a boat out to sea to avoid the flames of war. Boss Qiu's family was one of the escaping army. Their original plan had been to charter a ship to the United States, but since they were under martial law in Pearl Harbor, and the United States was under heavy fire, the merchant ship had to send them to Mexico.

At the time, Mexico City had just been liberated and its economic lifeline was in the hands of the United States. Furthermore, at that time, the development was extremely lagging behind, with many places being desolate and barren. Even within Mexico City, there were slums everywhere.

The burden of the whole household fell on the fifteen-sixteen year old boss Qiu. Although his father had taught him how to cook, no one would be willing to eat anything without any ingredients. The restaurant business got worse with each passing day. In frustration, Boss Qiu decided to go to the rainforest to try his luck and see if he could find some raw materials.

The rainforest was connected to the Amazon rainforest, which was why it was rich in materials. Not long after he entered the mountain, he found a lot of ingredients and seasonings that could be used for cooking. After he finished packing, he was ready to leave the mountain, but it was easy to leave the mountain. Although Boss Qiu left a mark, the trees in the rain forest all looked the same. In the end, he got lost.

In the hearts of the Mexicans, they absolutely could not enter the rainforest. Especially at night, there would be ferocious beasts roaming about. Furthermore, the miasma would also follow the night sky. As long as they were attacked by the miasma, they would not be able to survive. The more he walked, the more anxious he became. The sky was getting darker, but he helplessly realized that he had not only lost his way, but had also gone deeper into the rainforest.

There weren't many wild beasts in the outer parts of the rainforest due to human contact. However, in the depths of the rainforest, there were many wild beasts due to the abundance of resources. Among them, not only were the Green Forest Boas and cannibal fish that caused people's faces to change, there were also quite a few snakes and crocodiles. In particular, one of the species known as the Blackgate Alligator in the rainforest, it was extremely savage.

Therefore, the Mexicans had been taught by their elders that they should never go into the depths of the rainforest. Otherwise, the only thing waiting for them was death. In a panic, Boss Qiu fell off a cliff with wounds all over his body. The mosquitoes in the forest rushed over crazily as they smelled the blood, and there were even more rustling sounds in the forest.

Looking at the green eyes of the forest and the low growls that came from time to time, Boss Qiu was so scared that his heart was beating wildly. Then the light of the night sky shone down, he vaguely saw a gap in the area surrounded by the ferocious beasts.

Just as quickly as that. Boss Qiu pounced towards that place like an arrow leaving the bowstring. To his surprise, the beasts stopped in the direction he rushed towards. Seeing this, Boss Qiu was extremely excited. He made a bold decision and rushed into the forest to hide!

What happened next, however, was something that Boss Qiu would never forget. Just as he was about to step into the woods, an arrow shot forward with a swoosh. The arrow was less than five centimeters away from his foot.

"I found out later that I was lucky to have the arrow. Otherwise, my life would have been thrown into the rainforest!" Speaking to this, Boss Qiu took a sip of wine and said with a bitter smile, "That arrow was shot by the natives in the rainforest. Then I was taken to the deeper parts of the tribe by them, I thought I met a cannibal and was scared out of my wits!"

"What's next?" Everyone was sighing over what had happened to Boss Qiu. They wanted to know how the story was going to develop, so they eagerly looked at Boss Qiu and asked.

Boss Qiu took a sip of the wine and said, "Those people were actually aboriginal races in the rainforest, not cannibals. They sent me out of the rainforest afterwards. "According to what the natives in the rainforest said at that time, that area should be where you two are looking for no one, Brother Lin and Miss Yi Lan."

Upon hearing these words, Lin Bai and Sima Yi Lan looked at each other, their eyes flickering with a divine light.
