"It's overdue." The man sitting in the passenger seat suddenly prompted in English.

Everyone looked at their watches and lamented together.

"The experts aren't necessarily right." The man in the back seat whispered.

I looked out, and there was no change in the mountains, but the moonlight was getting thicker and thicker, and the pine trees planted along the slopes of the mountains were like a procession of samurai, staring at us.

Mirages are natural phenomena, and it is obvious that experts' predictions have an approximate time period that cannot be accurate to every minute and second. So, even though they have been disappointed, I still have hope.

"Wait and see." The man commanded.

"If you wait, you will add unnecessary trouble. You see, the enemy is standing in the shadows. Said the man in the passenger seat.

"Leave them alone." The man shook his head.

"There are only six of us, and once we are under siege, we are afraid that there will be more than one luck." The man in the passenger seat refused to compromise.

"Everything is under my orders, don't talk nonsense." The man said.

The other five snorted in displeasure.

The situation was so bad that they were all looking forward to getting out of the battlefield as soon as possible. Otherwise, six people will fight against hundreds, and you will know what the result will be.

"What do you mean?" The man asked.

I know, he's asking me. In this case, I am reluctant to express my absolute position, lest I offend both sides and trigger a greater conflict.

"Wait a little longer." I say.

"We have to retreat." The man in the back seat shouted.

"Obey orders. You are all military men. The man sneered.

"Even if it's a soldier. Nor can the wrong instruction be executed. The man in the back seat retorted.

"In this case, the soldiers are divided into two ways. You retreat, I'll stay here. The man said.

The other five acted in unison, and immediately opened the door and prepared to get out of the car. The scary thing is that their movements give the people of Compass Village a wrong signal, and the people who are outflanked on both wings suddenly speed up, forming a big mouth, and surrounding the off-road vehicles.

"Oops, noos, no." The people in the back row complained bitterly.

I can stop the Lancer and Zuo Fengshou and others, explain the secrets of the Russians to them, and then the two sides will reach their own compromises. As an intermediary, I need to figure out that whether the mirage appears or not, there has to be a definite outcome.

"Don't speak, listen to me, lay down your arms, and show that you are not hostile." I commanded.

The five men were a little reluctant, but eventually did as I said and threw the pistol out of the car.

I beckoned to the spearwoman on the right and shouted, "Don't let your people do it just yet, the situation has changed somewhat." ”

The spearwoman waved her hand, and everyone stopped. However, those men did not let their guard down with long and short guns in their hands. As long as Zuo Fengshou gives an order, this off-road vehicle will turn into dust.

"What happened?" The spearwoman asked.

"They're waiting for a mirage." I replied.

The Lance Girl was a little surprised, for it was something she had never heard of, at least not to the east of the Tank Gang, who had mentioned any clues about the mirage.

"Where is the mirage? The spearwoman asked.

I pointed to the hillside ahead: "This is there, Russian experts say, there is a mirage about to appear, which contains important clues to uncover the secrets of the Mogao Grottoes." ”

Everyone looked in the direction of my finger and was silent for a moment, and more than half of them covered their mouths and laughed deliciously.

In their insight, they probably thought that I had been deceived by the Russians, and that there was simply no possibility of a mirage on the mountain.

Instead of laughing, the Lancer frowned.

Zuo Fengshou suddenly took a few steps forward, reached the line between the off-road vehicle and the hillside, and turned towards the hillside.

He was clever enough to see the front of the car facing the hillside, so he could find the most suitable viewing angle. Of course, when he did this, with his back to the SUV, he could easily be shot.

"Maybe the experts' predictions are not wrong, it's just a matter of time. Time and space are two dimensions that are very difficult to fit together completely, similar to time travel. I comforted the man.

"Yes, experts have also said that nothing related to mirages is absolute, because the appearance of those lights and shadows follows many conditions. Wind, temperature, humidity, climate, there are so many variables that even if you exhaust the calculations, it is easy to fall short. What's more, this is something that has not been done before, and experts dare to predict and have shown extraordinary courage. The man said.

Is this recording the exact words of the experts? Is there anything missing? I reminded him.

He stroked his forehead and thought about it seriously: "Experts seem to have said that the rotation and revolution of the earth will have a fatal effect on the appearance of a mirage. By the way, it's humidity...... There was a problem with humidity. ”

He reached out and waved it out the window.

The climate of Dunhuang is dry and rainy all year round, so it has created an endless lifeless Gobi Desert.

From a physical point of view, a dry environment is prone to charge drift, and its electrostatic reaction and conductivity are very different from those in the laboratory.

"Just find the cause." I nodded.

The humidity can be artificially increased, because the greening units here in Dunhuang have a strong artificial rainfall capacity. As long as you find the right person, you can saturate the air with humidity in a matter of hours.

"Are you sure the experts said about humidity?" I asked.

The man nodded: "In this situation, the crux of the problem can only be attributed to humidity." ”

I didn't ramble, I immediately got out of the car and walked over to the spearwoman.

"What the hell is going on?" She asked.

"Russian experts successfully predicted the imminent appearance of a mirage on the mountain, and it was the dry air that delayed the appearance of the mirage. Now I need an artificial rain to artificially change the humidity on the hillside. It doesn't take too long, an hour is enough. I said.

I believe that Huanghua will be able to do everything, after all, the cost of an artificial rainfall will not exceed 150,000 yuan, let alone alarm the people in Baidao.

The spearmaid was very alert, observing my face while listening, and when I finished speaking, she immediately nodded: "I'll notify someone to do it, and the rain will be completed within an hour." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, solving the problems of the rivers and lakes is like a doctor seeing a doctor, as long as I find out the crux of the problem and solve it step by step, it is easy to rejuvenate. On the contrary, if you can't see through the symptoms and act blindly, you will only get more and more chaotic and help more and more.

The current chaotic and complex situation cannot be solved by a large number of people and fierce firepower, but we must use our brains and wisdom to perceive everything in nature. Nature is always full of mysteries, and every grass, tree, sand and dust are all talking symbols.

Zuo Fengshou observed for more than ten minutes, and slowly walked back, his face full of question marks.

I don't have to tell him about it, I already know that he doesn't know anything about what's coming.

I have figured out his identity, he should be the village chief of Luopan Village, leading these people, who lives in seclusion here all the year round. It is likely that his position as village chief is hereditary, has supreme authority, and is also recognized by the top of the Yellow Flower Society. Such a person is not incapable of being knowledgeable and insightful, and even he cannot understand what is about to happen, let alone others.

The wait turned out to be an extremely painful affair, and I was more convinced than the Russians in the car that a mirage was about to appear, and that the words of the Russian experts were about to come true.

The spearwoman made two calls and nodded to me from afar.

I was relieved, but in no hurry to get back to the car and explain the situation to the Russians. You must know that in this chaotic change, if a person wants to achieve great things, he must stand on his feet, and he must not follow behind a certain faction, which will only lose himself and become the spearhead of others.

I am not superstitious about the capabilities of the Yellow Flower Society, and I am very wary of the intentions of the Russians. In front of Dunhuang Tianji, everyone is equal, because everyone knows that there is little difference, and there is no question of who leads whom.

"Mr. Long." Zuo Fengshou finally spoke. His face was visibly confused, and he scratched his head as he thought.

"Please have something to say." I say.

"We came here tonight and the target was the car of the Russians. But when you get in the car, you don't do anything, you get out of the car and come back. There were only trees on that mountain, and there were very few wild beasts. In the winter, I led people up to catch rabbits, wild boars, and almost every inch of the mountain, but I found nothing. Now, everyone is looking there, what's the point? I have a little doubt that the Russians are not telling the truth. He said.

This suspicion is justified, because on the surface it is just a barren mountain covered in trees. Looking from afar, there is nothing surprising about it. The village of Luopan is located at the foot of the mountain, and the villagers here should be very familiar with the surrounding mountains. They knew exactly how many caves, how many trees, how many small animals, and even every big road and trail there was.

Modern people do not rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but the village and the mountains are so close that the woods on the mountains are like the back gardens of the villagers, which have been deeply integrated.

What Zuo Fengshou said was his confusion alone, and the confusion of all the villagers. If tonight's matter was to be simple, it would be to destroy the car and crush the six people inside. In the past war years, the result of a major war was usually life and death, especially in this kind of battle with obvious contrast between strength and weakness, and the Russians had absolutely no hope of survival.

This is not an easy task, and the more you rush to complete it, the more troubles you will have. So, this is a game of wit, and you have to calm down and take your time to find the real answer.

After Zuo Fengshou finished speaking, the villagers standing nearby nodded frequently, agreeing with his words.

The mirage has nothing to do with the mountains and forests, because it is a scene that appears on the vast sea. If I forcibly explain to Zuo Fengshou, the reason must be pale and unable to convince him and the villagers. So, I'd rather keep my mouth shut and use the facts as answers.

"Mr. Long, these people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of dying worthless, and they are even more afraid of being betrayed and becoming cannon fodder for others." Zuo Fengshou said again.

"You don't have to worry, because we are tied together, in the same boat. There are some things that the more you know, the better, because that can be dangerous. I replied

"Tonight, however, everyone is coming. If the bamboo basket ends up empty, it will be a huge blow to my people. Zuo Fengshou said.

"It's going to be a blow to everybody, there's no doubt about that, not just you and your men. So, you'd better calm down from now on and reassure your people without thinking too much about it. I said.

Zuo Fengshou is a very responsible person who can take on the important task of leading Luopan Village. However, his IQ cannot interpret the current situation, and blindly opening his mouth will only become a burden to everyone. The wisest thing to do is not to say anything.

Zuo Fengshou wanted to say something, but the spear girl had already walked back and waved her hand silently.

Zuo Fengshou nodded, took a few steps back, and stood with his villagers.
