    "Is there any other way to help us escape?" Lin Rui asked in a low voice.

    "Yes. The friend I know is in the smuggling business. He used to secretly help Mexicans sneak into the United States." Crazy Horse explained, "He has the ability and resources to help us get to Mexico without anyone noticing. We are keeping  The country can only be safe for a while, and the federal government will not give up. Only when we reach Mexico can we be completely safe."

    "I agree." Lin Rui thought for a moment and said, "Where is your friend?"

    "There's still a way to go." Crazy Horse nodded.

    They finally arrived at their destination¡ªCrazy Horse¡¯s friend¡¯s house¡ªbefore the sun set, and several wild dogs lined up to welcome them.

    This is the first time Lin Rui has seen such a strange house. It is similar in shape to a yurt, with wooden walls and a mud roof. It is very weird.

    Crazy Horse explained, "This kind of house is called a hogan by the Navajo people. It is a symbol of the spirit of the ancestors. No one can live in it, but it cannot be without fire."

    Nowadays, in order to make a living, many people no longer live in the reservation area every day, but as long as there are people around, they will still light a fire in the house every day.  "

    Crazy Horse¡¯s friend has a very Western name, Jonathan.  The left side of his room is filled with photos of the maternal family tree, and the right side is the paternal family tree. Surrounded by the saddles, bows and arrows, whips, headdresses and eagle feathers of his ancestors.  The fire that continues in the house means that the spirit of the ancestors is alive and well.

    The exterior of this house is rectangular. In Navajo tradition, the male residence is a rectangle and the female residence is an octagon.  There are three large floor-to-ceiling windows on one wall, and the other walls are scattered with irregular small round windows and inlaid with colorful wine bottles.  But when you walk into the house, it is a yurt-style circle, with sofas, round tables, and stoves arranged in sequence. There is a small stove in the center with a chimney protruding from the roof.

    Jonathan didn¡¯t like to sit on the sofa, which was for guests. He sat on the sheepskin felt.  The Navajo people are also very particular about their sheepskin rugs. When sleeping, the head should be in the direction of the sheep's tail. If you sleep on the sheep's head, your soul will be taken away in your dreams. Therefore, he will check the head of his sheepskin mat every night before going to bed.  where.

    "Tell me, what does Crazy Horse want from me? You won't come to me for no reason." Jonathan looked at Crazy Horse and said.

    Crazy Horse shook his head and said, "We are in some trouble and want your help to go to Mexico. We can pay for it."

    "That must be a big trouble." Jonathan looked at Crazy Horse and said, "If it was before, it wouldn't be a problem. But recently, have you heard about the federal government building a wall on the Mexican border? They built the wall and sent citizens  Guard. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be easy to sneak across.¡±

    "Is there nothing we can do?" Crazy Horse whispered.

    "Okay, I'll think of a way. But it may take two days." Jonathan thought for a while.

    "We're in a hurry. It's best to make arrangements today, or wait until tomorrow at most." Crazy Horse shook his head.

    "Okay. Then tomorrow." Jonathan nodded, "I will take you there myself. But since you are in trouble, we can't live here. We have to go camping and make sure no one can find us."

    "Camping?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "Yes, spread a layer of plastic on the ground, then spread a layer of canvas, cover with a few sheepskin felts, put on sleeping bags, raise a bonfire, and the starry sky will be yours all night." Jonathan said calmly.

    "What if a mountain lion or a wolf comes?" Scarface asked.

    "I've had a few encounters with cougars, maybe two or three, and they wanted to attack me. I lit a torch and they just circled around. Then I took the opportunity to run back to the car and continued to sleep in the car. But you know  , I¡¯m not afraid of them, I¡¯m not afraid of coyotes, mountain lions and bears, I¡¯m afraid of people, they killed my relatives, took our land, and wanted to destroy our traditions.¡± Jonathan shook his head.

    "He seems to be quite dissatisfied with the federal government." Lin Rui asked Crazy Horse in a low voice.

    "Yes. So he is very reliable." Crazy Horse nodded. "The Indians have had a very unhappy life in recent years. In order to regain territory and freedom for his tribe, Jonathan's father was imprisoned twice. His father was a  The hero participated in the famous 1978, the Longest Walk when he was young.

    That year, people set out from Arizona to Washington to fight for human rights and freedom for Native Americans and to protest against the 11 anti-Indian provisions enacted by Congress.  At that time, hundreds of Native Americans and white Americans participated in the peaceful protest movement.  "

    Jonathan nodded, "My father once stood in that position and said to me: I am not happy in my life, and I don't want my children to be like this. He often told us, don't repeat his path, this path is too  It's bitter, but before you fight with others, you can't forget who you are. I am an Indian, foreverIt will be.  "

    Jonathan used his previous connections to arrange for Lin Rui and others to escape.  Under the baptism of the first golden ray of light in the morning, the brown-red sandstone shows a dazzling scarlet color.  Stunning, vast, majestic, open and desolate.  Lin Rui and others left in a car, changing to other vehicles along the way.

    Smuggling at the Mexican border has always been a very troublesome problem for Americans. Successive U.S. governments have been working hard to solve it, but it is too difficult and can only achieve some phased results. For the long term,  Said that this problem has not been solved.  Until not long ago, they built a border wall to separate the United States and Mexico.

    The U.S-Mexico border is about 2,300 kilometers long, and nearly 1,600 kilometers have been built so far. The government is expected to invest 21 billion U.S. dollars in this project, and 14 billion in funds have been used so far.  This border wall is still very powerful. Its height can reach nine meters. In order to prevent stowaways from digging tunnels, its foundation depth has also reached five meters. The wall is built very solidly and can effectively prevent stowaways from digging through the wall.

    But real professional stowaways will not take this wall seriously at all, because the 1,126-kilometer-long separation wall between the two countries cannot be watched at every place at all times.  How many manpower will it take?  You can only rely on border patrols, but there are always gaps in patrols.

    Some Mexican smugglers take advantage of such patrol breaks to sneak across the border. If they are caught, they are considered bad luck. If they are not caught, they are considered a successful smuggler.  The location chosen by Jonathan is in a secluded place, which is a body of water. The building is not a concrete wall, but a section of steel plate wall.

    ¡°And they had completed underwater cutting earlier, cutting a large hole in the steel plate wall, and nothing could be seen on the surface.  But once you get under the water, you can go to and from the border through that opening. As long as you avoid the patrols, it's almost foolproof.
