Shoko looked up at the blue and deep sky, the morning star, blinking his eyes half-light and half-dark, and the earth gradually showed the darkness before dawn. He glanced at the man, and said in a faint voice: "I've been tossing for most of the night to chase you kid, let's talk about it, what's the way." ”

The man tightened his padded jacket, wiped the frosty stubble on his mouth, and said, "My surname is Jia Hu, and I am from Wuwei, Gansu. Three years ago, when the People's Liberation Army captured Lanzhou, Ma Bufang was in a hurry, so he grabbed troops everywhere to grab food.

There was nowhere to hide, so I was stuffed in the cellar when I was young. The next morning, the chief of security led two soldiers to my house to ask for someone, and I insisted that I was going far away. I don't want to, the one who looks like an official, the thief's eyes rolled. Irritably, he yelled that he wanted to pull me to feed the horses and let my mother wash the pots and dishes.

The soldier didn't say a word, so he pushed and shoved to get my big and mother away. I couldn't help it, so I ran out of the cellar. I saw it, looked up to the sky and sighed and shouted: You fool, what are you doing here! As he spoke, he grabbed a stone and threw it at the soldier's head. While rushing towards the official, he shouted at me: Come and run! At that moment, a gunshot rang out. I stumbled a little, but I still hugged the waist of the official.

The official was in a hurry, and he wanted to shoot him, so my mother pounced. As a result, the bullet went through my mother's head. I had only taken two steps forward, when I saw that I was turning my head and staring at my blood-red eyes, and with my last breath I shouted, "Go wow!"

Seeing that I hesitated, the chief of the security guard secretly waved at me and motioned for me to run. I wiped away my tears sadly and ran towards the woods not far away. ”

Speaking of this, Jia Hu lowered his head with a somewhat gloomy expression, as if he was enduring a churning pain, gritted his teeth, and shook his head lightly. Then he said: "I buried my big and mother, and I didn't go far." After more than ten days of fumbling, I finally found a stubble and killed the official. Unable to stay in his hometown, he fled to Xinjiang for refuge.

In the second bridge of Dihua, when I met a dart bureau dignitary, I became a dart player. This bowl of rice has not been eaten for half a year, and the dart game has let the bandits give disaster. I wandered around for a few days, and I thought about doing business without capital.

At first, I just got some boots from the Soviets, and the carved copper kettles of the Pakistanis exchanged for some money, and the days were also miserable. This time is the fattest business I have encountered, and I want to make it easy to wash my hands, go to the ploughshare tip of Qitai, and do business with peace of mind. I want to meet you. ”

Jia Hu said, with an unwilling look on his face. Xiangzi smiled at him and said, "Silly boy, it's your blessing to meet us, as long as you work hard, I will guarantee you a good future." ”

At this time, Shuzhen snorted her cold hand and said with a slight complaint: "Say, look at the posture at the beginning, you are bent on killing me." If I make a mistake, your doll's hemp will be a big deal. ”

Jia Hu grinned and said, "Who made my aunt's fist and foot kung fu so good, if I didn't take advantage of my youth and strength, I would be your opponent." ”

Jia Hu said, sighing as if he was not convinced, and continued: "That brother's fists and kicks are really fast, otherwise, his three punches and two kicks are not my opponent at all." Besides, I also made my aunt tired at that time. ”

Shuzhen smiled and said, "However, I'm not bragging, I would have knocked your doll down a few years ago." It's not okay to be old, and you can't keep up with it before you get angry. If it weren't for your quick hand, I would have drawn my gun. ”

Jia Hu grinned and said, "Fortunately, my aunt didn't pull out the gun, otherwise, I wouldn't know where to open a hole in my body." ”

When Shoko heard this, she smiled contemptuously at him and said, "If you change her habits when she was young, you will have to break your things if you force her so much." ”

Shuzhen listened, stretched out her hand and punched Xiangzi, pretending to be slightly angry and said, "Look at what you said, am I so vicious?" Whose stuff do you see I'm breaking? ”

Xiangzi pretended to be scared and leaned back, and said with a smile in his mouth: "If I hadn't hid quickly, I wouldn't have broken a few things." ”

Shuzhen was about to stretch out her hand to hit Xiangzi, but saw Xiao Chen and Wuzi leading the horse and came over. Xiangzi stomped his feet and said energetically: "To work hard, everyone, we must rush to the slot overnight." ”

The gray and quiet path, a few fast horses with white mist spraying their mouths, trampled the half-solid snow wantonly, a crisp and chaotic sound.

Let the sun force the white sky, and turn the empty and silent trough into a smoky gray. As soon as the shadow of the yurt was faintly revealed, I saw two fat big dogs, barking wildly to greet them.

Xiangzi rode his horse and stood on an earthen beam, and the outline of the winter nest had been gradually whitened in the sky, illuminating nowhere to hide. On the east side of the fence yard, a flock of sheep was regurgitating something that would never be finished, and most of the yard was empty. The two camels next to the courtyard gate were snorting as they looked around.

Seeing this, Jia Hu just wanted to say something anxiously, but was stopped by Xiangzi waving his hand. I saw that in the yurt movement, an elder of the Ha tribe, staggering with stiff steps, looked in the direction of the dog barking.

Xiangzi stared at the scene in front of him with lost eyes, and after a day and a night of running and tracking, could it be that he ended up in the courtyard alone? Where did that mysterious caravan go? East, West, South, which side is most likely?

The case, like the endless grass in front of you, is erratic.

Seeing the Ha people hesitantly walking forward, Xiangzi hurriedly took a few steps and dismounted to greet the old man. Fortunately, there is Xiao Chen, and there is no language barrier.

The old man saw that people could speak the Hazakh dialect, and he was busy and enthusiastically beckoning Xiangzi and his party into the yurt. A warm current, with the unique smell of the Kazakh people, came to the face.

Sook-jin rushed to the stove first, and reached out and dragged Shoko to her side. The population in the yurt was simple, and in addition to the old man, there was also a young daughter-in-law.

Xiangzi said under Xiao Chen's translation: "Old man, are you two in the house?" ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, and said with a slightly worried face: "There is also a son who went out with someone last night. ”

Xiangzi took a sip of milk tea unhurriedly, made a casual appearance and said, "You went with a group of Uyghurs, right?" ”

The old man seemed to be startled, and his bark-like face, with a few curved grooves, throbbed spasmodically. Glaring at Xiao Chen, he asked in a low voice, "What is the person who spoke?" ”

Xiao Chen got Xiangzi's hint, so he said calmly: "We are from the Provincial Public Security Department, and he is our leader." Ask you and tell the truth. ”

The old man glanced at Xiangzi with a little uneasiness, and the light blue eyes, revealing the light of deep wisdom, crossed Xiangzi's face like lightning.

Seeing that the old man was a little calm, Xiangzi then asked, "Are those Uyghurs your friends?" ”

The old man shook his head slightly, sighed deeply, and said, "I don't know... I don't recognize... They...."

Seeing that the old man's face was embarrassed, Xiangzi sighed lightly, and said, "Don't be afraid, old man, that group of Uyghurs is a bad guy, and we are arresting them." Give us more information about what you know. ”

The old man glanced at Xiangzi suspiciously, looking painful and embarrassed, shook his head, and sighed lightly. In the end, a pair of slightly dry and tired eyes fell on Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen understood, smiled at him gently, and said, "Don't worry!" This is our captain. If there is any difficulty, he will help you solve it. ”

The old man's painful hands wiped their hands, and tears rolled down his face. He looked extremely unbearable and said, "They took my son to pull the camel, and said that if he told them about it, he would kill my son." ”

As he spoke, the old man hung his head in sobs. The young woman, wiping her tears and filling the guests with tea, whispered, "They have guns." ”

Seeing that the old man's mood had calmed down, Xiangzi leaned towards the old man, took the old man's rough hand, and said with a gentle face: "Please rest assured, we will definitely try to save your son." It's just that we now want to know the specifics of that group. ”

The old man raised his face of vicissitudes, looked at Xiangzi stunned for a while, sighed lightly and said: "In the second half of last night, more than a dozen Uyghurs suddenly came, saying that it was too cold to pass by, and they wanted to drink a bowl of hot milk tea.

The ditch sat firmly, and a big man inside took out a handful of money from his arms and said that he wanted to buy a sheep from my family to eat. When you have eaten enough mutton, the sky will be polished. When I went out, I saw that there were not only five camels and four horses in the courtyard, but also a lot of wooden boxes. The men stuffed hay into the wooden box, and I passed by to glance at it, and there was an iron box in the wooden box. ”

Speaking of this, the old man glanced at Xiangzi suspiciously, and then said, "I can understand most of what they say. It is said that it is some kind of valuable equipment, and it cannot be broken. ”

Seeing that the old man breathed a sigh of relief, Xiangzi asked, "Do you know where they want to get things?" ”

The old man slowly took a sip of milk tea and said contemplatively: "It seems to say that you want to go out of Yili." ”

Shoko hurriedly asked, "Do you know which way to go?" ”

The old man shook his head worriedly and said, "I don't know, they don't tell my son. I only said that when I got to Ili, I would let my son come back and give me a lot of money. ”

Xiangzi pondered for a moment, and then refreshed himself and said: "Everyone hurry up and eat something, see that the sky is dawning, just squint here for a while, and act at dawn." ”

As he spoke, he took out a few tickets and quietly pressed them under the food cloth.

It is winter now, and there are generally two roads to go from Qitai to Yili Port. One is facing west, north of Yantian Mountain, and entering the port through Sailim Lake. The other way is to cross the ice slab of the Tianshan Mountains and make a detour from Turpan to the south of the Yanji Yantian Mountains into Yili.

Shoko pondered for a long time and decided to lead people to chase west. Send Xiao Chen to Fuyuan, cooperate with the police guarding the South Road, stick to precautions, and strictly check the passing caravans.

Opened the door of the yurt, and a white light pierced his face. The snow-covered white lake, decorated with the tranquil Qiqi Lake, the mountains in the distance, shyly dancing out of a long curve, looking up, giving people a feeling of relaxation and happiness.

Shoko pulled the saddle and got on the horse and chased all the way to the west. His goal today is the camel shop in Santai Town.
