I didn't speak, just silently opened the car door and dragged the middle-aged man out of the car until he reached the faucet of the car wash.

"Before he held me hostage, he was terrified." The general said.

I turned on the faucet, turned down the water, and rinsed the blood off the man's face.

"He said that he saw the 'Mogao Grottoes turn around', and the people who were standing behind the railing disappeared, probably being eaten by the Mogao Grottoes." The general said.

I looked at the man's face, and I seemed to have seen it in Compass Village, and I had a little impression.

"How do you get him to speak?" I asked.

If this person saw the "Mogao Grottoes Turning" on the ground, the shock he felt must be stronger than what I saw in the sky.

The general snapped his fingers, and the lame old man who opened the door for us immediately limped over.

"Cha Ye, this person has a secret in his stomach, let him tell the truth." The general commanded.

"Okay, okay, leave it to me, and in an hour, make sure he cooperates honestly." The old man nodded in agreement, helped the man up, bent over to carry it, and walked to the hut behind the car wash.

"Do you believe that Mogao Grottoes can turn around now?" I asked.

The general frowned: "I have always believed everything you say, but when you told me to look down, I didn't see anything." So, it's hard to imagine what that would be like. ”

The incident happened suddenly, there was no monitoring equipment on the glider, and I didn't have time to take out my mobile phone to take pictures. Therefore, this time the Gobi Wonders are like a mirage outside Luopan Village, which can only be preserved in my memory alone.

"If you don't leave, maybe there's a chance to see you again." I say.

The general shook his head: "The matter over there is more important." ”

An old woman in an apron came running briskly, ushered us into a very tidy private room, and asked us what we wanted to eat.

Like the old man, the old woman's eyes were warm and kind when she looked at the general, just like the elders saw the younger ones they admired the most.

"Let's just have a hot cup of tea, thank you." The general said.

The old woman went out and soon brought a teapot and a teacup.

"Good tea, the best tea in Dunhuang this year, exported." The old woman said with a smile.

She lifted the teapot, poured us two cups of tea, and withdrew with her hands down.

"They are good people, they don't belong to the Yellow Flower Society, and they don't belong to the Xinyue Spiritless faction, it's just that the two are tired of killing in the rivers and lakes, and they are willing to retire to the market, be an obscure small citizen couple, and live the most ordinary life." The general said.

I nodded in understanding.

When I saw them, I thought of Meng Qiao too.

If it weren't for Gu Tingcheng and Ming Shuisleeve appearing in Mogao Grottoes, the path that Meng Qiao and I would take in the future would be no different from this old couple.

People are too tired in the rivers and lakes, sometimes they should really jump out of the circle, take off the disguise of the big brother in the rivers and lakes, and be themselves calmly.

"Let's drink tea, Aunt Cha said it was good tea, so it must be good tea." The general said.

I took a sip of the teacup and immediately found that this kind of tea is not available on the market at all, and it belongs to super flower tea - "flower" is the "flower" of cordyceps, and its price is at least more than 10,000 yuan or tael.

The town of Drinking Horse is a small place, and the old couple are very shabby, and I am really surprised that they can bring out this kind of tea for guests.

There are not many masters of surname checking on the rivers and lakes, I guess it must be a pseudonym.

"You say, if you invite a geological expert to come, can you find out the truth about the 'Mogao Grottoes Turn'?" The general asked.

Since Aunt Cha went out, her brows have been tightly furrowed, and it turned out that she was thinking about it.

I shook my head: "No way, this should belong to the category of metaphysics, neither geologists nor physicists can explain the reason, but it is known to everyone, and the city is full of storms." ”

In 2012, Lei took me to a grand gathering of Southeast Asian tomb robbers in Tiger Wood City on the island of Sumatra.

At that rally, someone anonymously posted information that there was a secret portal to the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, China, and that he wanted to sell his information for $100 million.

Lei Dongtian and I have both read the first two pages of the material, with a total of four photos, plus four short explanatory texts.

In the photo, there is an extremely long road in the Mogao Grottoes, and there is no end in sight, at least 300 meters away.

The other one is that a square deep well appeared inside the Mogao Grottoes, and it was far from the bottom.

There are also two photos, the scene photographed is even more peculiar, the Mogao Grottoes are pierced and turned into an east-west passage, crossing the Mingsha Mountain.

The accompanying text reads: "Tomb robbers inadvertently photographed a mutation in the Mogao Grottoes one night, and the physical structure is shown in the photo." A search of historical sources has not been able to explain the causes of this change. The tomb robbers have real footage in their hands, and there are also charlatans who are willing to publicly endorse it to prove its reliability. ”

In fact, the asking price of Anonymous is not high.

If the information in his hands can really reveal a completely different Mogao Grottoes, then, let alone 100 million, even if he adds another zero, an international consortium will generously take over.

At that time, Lei Dongtian was calm enough and no longer aggressive, and he just listened to such information and would not send anyone to follow up.

Now, when I think of that rally, I am naturally reminded of the four photographs of the Anonymous.

Of course, I have another option, and that is to turn to a civil observer organization.

There are also many so-called "non-governmental observation organizations" in the world, the core of which is essentially an informant or broker of special global events.

These people are able to obtain all kinds of confidential information through various illegal channels, and publish news through the Internet or the dark web to attract a large number of buyers.

In the absence of the World Wide Web, the information in the hands of these people is stored and exchanged in the form of video tapes, audio tapes, and printouts, and today, various electronic means of communication are constantly innovating, such as the anonymity of channels, the encryption of documents, the camouflage of network addresses, and the existence of various broiler computers...... It provides a vast and boundless living space for these masters. Like black fish in a bottomless pond, they rage and grow freely until they claim the whole pond as their own.

I know several of these "blackfish" who can provide information at the request of their employers. As long as the price is right, the information is accurate enough, and the timeliness is very strong.

"I'll figure it out?" I asked.

The general shook his head: "Wait for Cha Ye, he is very efficient, and he should be able to help us find out what we want." ”

I immediately realized that the reason why this retired couple changed their surname to "Cha" actually had the deep meaning of "investigation and investigation".

After a while, Aunt Cha came in to refill the teapot, and by the way, brought in a stack of printouts and put them in front of the general.

The general glanced down, and there was a slight look of approval in his eyes.

"Aunt Cha, thank you for me." The general said.

"You're bringing a baby." Aunt Cha said with a smile.

The general pointed to me: "Thank you Mr. Long Fei for this, he took the man." ”

Aunt Cha's eyes widened, and her sharp gaze turned on my face, slightly stunned.

"Aunt Cha." I screamed, not caring about the look in her eyes.

"Mr. Long is polite, and the old woman is ashamed. Well, on Hong Kong Island, one of my great benevolent fathers sent a message to all his fellow Jianghu who had received his favor, as long as they saw Mr. Long Fei, they would do their best to help, and if necessary, take out the life owed to him and dedicate it to Mr. Long Fei. Aunt Cha said awe-inspiringly.

"yes, got it." I lowered my head and drank my tea without asking much.

"Aunt Cha, Mr. Long knows, you can step down." The general said.

Aunt Cha nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

She walked out backwards with the kettle, and then closed the door with her backhand.

It must be Lei Dongtian who takes care of Aunt Cha, since the second rise of Perak Hall, Lei Dongtian has become more and more low-key, and at the same time pays great attention to "helping" those who are down.

As long as he is not a big traitor, Lei Dongtian is willing to contribute money and efforts to help those who are forced to run away.

I understand what he means, farmers plant in spring and harvest in autumn, while Perak Tong sows kindness and reaps strength.

People like Zha Ye and Aunt Zha have rescued thousands of people in Lei Dongtian. If half of the people know to miss him and repay his kindness, then this will be a passionate and surging hurricane, which can radiate the power to subvert everything.

"Aunt Cha's words, don't take them to heart. Some things are insignificant to you, but to them, they are important things to live in. On the rivers and lakes, the most difficult thing to repay is human favor, do you agree with this sentence? The general said leisurely.

Her words were puns on me, and I could hear them.

Ordinary people may be moved to tears when they hear Lei Dongtian care for him like this. Like him, a big man with a high status and power took time out of his busy schedule to take care of me, spread the network all the way to Dunhuang for me, enable all the horses, and keep me safe all the way - I should be moved, grateful, and emotional, and the high-spirited passion of "people treat me as a national soldier, and I will repay me as a national soldier" should sprout in my chest, so that I can be worthy of the thunderous sky.

Cha Ye and Aunt Cha are such people, and there may be many people who also have such thoughts.

They are right, because this is the "correct" rule of the rivers and lakes, and everyone should do this, so that the rivers and lakes of the Chinese nation can develop in a healthy and orderly manner.

In that way, the rivers and lakes will forever spread the thunderous name of Perak Hall, just like the "Four Princes" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, becoming a model of chivalry that has been repeatedly praised in Chinese history, for future generations to worship and look upon.

I don't want to be like this, I don't want to be the second Aunt Cha.

"Okay, I know how you're feeling." The general said.

"Thank you." I raised my teacup and headed at the General.

Sometimes, people need a confidant who has a good heart. I don't say, she doesn't ask; With just one look and one expression, she can understand and cater to just the right amount of words, and put aside those meaningless clichés.

"Not in his position, not in his government, this is the words of the sages. However, those big people must be in their positions, seek their own politics, and do things that they may not appreciate in a big way for the sake of the gang's interests. You and I are not in the same place, but we should understand others. The general said.

"Let's look at the information." I smiled indifferently.

I have my own views on Lei Dongtian.

According to the dialectical point of view, everything should be viewed in a "split into two" approach. Lei Dongtian is a gangster, and his good and bad are not something that a young man can judge arbitrarily.

He is Lei Dongtian, I am Long Fei, we have different ages, experiences, status, and visions, so we will act in different directions.

I respect him, but that doesn't mean I have to follow the path he has designated, paved, and planned.
