Chapter 298: Changes Under the Flame Mountain

Xiangzi reported the progress of the case to Director Wang in detail. And the next step of the deployment was briefly introduced.

Director Wang smiled with relief and said, "This time it's hard for you, you can't even eat hot rice on a frozen and cold day." ”

After a pause, the corners of Director Wang's mouth pursed a mysterious smile and said, "I heard that this time, your two chiefs of staff have made a lot of efforts. It's really enviable and jealous. ”

Xiangzi smiled innocently and said, "It's okay for them to be idle, so let's have a good time." ”

Director Wang sighed lightly and said with emotion: "Is it fun to have a cold and snowy place, and to sleep in the open?" In her heart, she not only cares for you, but also has enthusiastic help and trust in the government. It's two rare good women. ”

Shoko smiled and didn't say anything more.

Qiuhong drove away the object, and Xiangzi didn't know about it until the day after he returned. That's it, it was Dayong who told him. For the matter of these two treasures, Shoko generally doesn't ask too much. But this time it involves Dayong's face, so I have to figure it out.

After dinner, I saw Mingyue and Qiuhong cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. pretended to be casual and asked, "Qiuhong, hasn't Xiao Wang been here since we left?" ”

When Qiu Hong asked, her face turned red, and her eyes flashed and said, "I've been here twice." ”

Seeing Mingyue hurriedly carrying the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, Xiangzi smiled gently at Qiuhong and said, "If you think it's okay, you will get married after the New Year, right?" ”

Qiu Hong said, looking embarrassed and nervous for a while. She glanced at Xiangzi timidly, looked embarrassed, and muttered, "Let me drive him away." ”

Shoko pretended not to know and asked, "Why is that?" Aren't we all right when we leave? ”

Qiu Hong hung her head, stomped on the ground, blushed and said, "That person is face-to-face, he will do whatever he asks him to do." Don't even dare to fight with me, not manly. Mingyue said, we have to find someone who knows martial arts, at least we have to have some temperament. ”

Xiangzi shook his head with a smile and said, "I know your thoughts, and I will give you two a powerful master in the future." ”

As he was talking, Juanzi held a pair of cotton insoles in her hand, and when she entered the door, she glanced at Qiu and said, "It's really cheap, find a good one, and see how people will clean you up in the future." ”

As he spoke, Chong Xiangzi glanced at him warmly and said, "Change the insole, and wear it warmly on the road tomorrow." ”

While changing the insole, Xiangzi muttered worriedly: "I don't know what Jia Hu is like, it's really reassuring." ”

The three of Jia Hu, since they got into the dart game, have been smooth along the way. Although the Uyghurs do not say the route they take before leaving, Jia Hu knows in his heart that no matter if you go to heaven or earth, as long as the goods are under our noses, everything will be fine.

Sure enough, as Jia Hu expected, the Uyghurs did not take the official road, but chose to climb over the Guangquanzi Ice Slab, go around Turpan, and turn along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to Ili.

For this, Boss Huang wanted to say a few words to them, but they didn't have a problem at all. There's no way, I've already collected other people's money, and I'm at the mercy of others. Speaking of breaking the sky, that is, walking an extra ten days and eight days.

On this day, the camel caravan finally crossed the Tianshan Mountains and came to a camel shop at the foot of the Flaming Mountain.

It was getting late, and a round of red sun fell softly on the highest part of the mountain, and the flame mountain, which was already red, suddenly came alive as if it had been ignited.

Boss Huang came to the owner of the goods and wanted to discuss, whether he could let the camel team rest for a day before leaving, it would be too much camel consumption to cross Bingdaban. I knocked on the door and went in, and saw three Uyghurs whispering something. When asked what he meant, the owner waved his hand a little irritably and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Seeing Boss Huang enter the door with a worried expression, Jia Hu glanced at him suspiciously, and asked carefully, "What's wrong?" They don't promise? ”

Boss Huang sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Damn, this dart is really aggrieved, and the Uyghurs don't pee on us at all." ”

Seeing Boss Huang's angry face, Jia Hu tried to persuade: "Uyghurs are like that, and they generally don't agree with Han people. Anyway, it's not bad for our money, so it's worry-free to toss with him. ”

Boss Huang glanced at Jia Hu coldly, and said angrily: "What you said is light, walking along the south road, you have to climb four sand beams, the camel is not slow, and you can take it into the desert." ”

Seeing Jia Hu give up his seat with a slightly embarrassed expression, Boss Huang's face relaxed slightly, and said, "I didn't bother to ask along the way, why did you have anything to do with the government?" ”

When Jia Hu asked, he was slightly stunned, and said with an embarrassed face: "Hey, don't mention it." In the moon, a Pakistani merchant got two bags of gold from Lao Maozi. finally got it, but let the police arrest it. The captain saw that I still had some ability, and persuaded me to follow him, so I did it in a daze. ”

As he spoke, Jia Hu's face showed indescribable joy.

An elusive expression flashed across Boss Huang's face, and he reluctantly sneered: "No wonder, you kid dares to break into my house at night, is there someone from the government to support you?" ”

The snowflakes that drifted in the middle of the night did not leave much change in the spacious courtyard. However, the abnormal behavior of the owner of the goods made Jia Hu stunned and at a loss.

The snowflakes falling at night are like wisps of light veil covering the monotonous earth. This is a rare view next to the Flaming Mountain. A group of geese that returned late let out mournful cries and flew resolutely towards the south in a neat arrangement.

As soon as he put down his job, Boss Huang was called by the Uyghurs. In the room that smelled of hemp, a few Uyghurs with blank expressions but impetuous hearts were quietly squatting on the low earthen kang.

I saw that the owner of the goods took a greedy puff of cigarette, glanced at Boss Huang with a cold expression, and said unhurriedly: "We are not leaving, we plan to unload the goods here." ”

When Boss Huang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to shout with an anxious face. But he was stopped by the owner waving his hand and said: "You don't have to be afraid, I have a lot of money for the freight." ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of money from behind him and said, "This is the whole freight to Yili according to the price agreed in advance." ”

Boss Huang hesitated but was slightly excited to take the money, and hurriedly put it into his arms without counting. Jia Hu walked back and forth in the house with a melancholy face, and the room fell into a deathly silence for a while.

A cricket hiding under the earthen kang for the winter chirped a few times at the right time, bringing a touch of cool vitality to this dull room.

Boss Huang looked melancholy, frustrated and threw away the half-cut cigarette roll between his fingers, and said angrily: "Do you have to come up with a way quickly, what are you doing?" It's dizzy. ”

Jia Hu sighed lightly and muttered, "If the goods leave the dart bureau, it's not easy to keep an eye on them." There are still miles to go this way, and I am afraid of startling the grass and snakes, and I am afraid of what moths will come out of the grass and snakes. Hi! It's really hard to kill people. ”

Boss Huang rolled a cigarette leisurely in his hand, and muttered in a faint voice: "I can only help here, and the camel team will go to the Turpan freight yard to pick up the work in the afternoon." ”

After a pause, Boss Huang lit a cigarette, took a puff unhurriedly, and muttered in a sour voice: "If it weren't for the public security to speak, I wouldn't have peed on your doll." Thinking of your affection for Huan'er, my heart is panicked. ”

Jia Hu glanced at Boss Huang with embarrassment, and stopped talking with shame, scratching his unkempt hair and frowning.

After being silent for a long time, Boss Huang coughed dryly twice, and said in a faint voice: "However, then again, you are now working for the government." If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, if there is anything to do in the future, don't carry it alone, I have to live in Turpan for two or three days. ”

Jia Hu looked at Boss Huang gratefully, his well-defined lips trembled spasmodically a few times, but he still couldn't speak. After holding it for a while, he suddenly bowed deeply to Boss Huang.

Since Jia Hu and they came with the dart game, it was natural that they had to leave with the dart game. Jia Hu walked at the back of the camel caravoy, looking back at the gradually blurred camel shop in three steps. A feeling of uneasiness spread rapidly through his body and mind like a wildfire in autumn.

The camel shop leans on the flame mountain in the north, and the dry and winding official road in the south, on both sides of the east and west, except for the camel trade road that looks like a line from a distance, there is no trace of special traces.

However, all three sides have a common feature, that is, they are also submerged in the endless desert.

Jia Hu saw that there was no place to hide around the camel shop, so he had to part with the dart team in the town closest to the camel shop.

As soon as night fell, the sparrows that returned late were still occasionally passing overhead, so Jia Hu couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart, and quietly touched the camel shop with the two of them.

In the hazy and blurred camel shop, a few dim oil lamps gradually lit up. Several figures wandered around the courtyard ghostly for a few moments, and then disappeared without a trace. The courtyard was immersed in gloom.

Jia Hu settled the two police officers to watch the wind outside, tightened his breath, used his means, and quietly touched the compound. Five large wooden boxes were still lying quietly, with a light layer of snow floating on them.

Jia Hu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at the dim and weak light in the room, and left quietly.

Early the next morning, Jia Hu drove the rented donkey cart, dressed up as an old man picking up dung, and came to the vicinity of the camel shop. Five large wooden boxes, as if nailed there, remained untouched.

Jia Hu rubbed until the sun was in the west, and then reluctantly left. Except for two wagons carrying grass, no one has been seen coming or leaving today. Of course, I didn't see the faces of those Uyghurs.

At night, Jia Hu always felt unsure, so he quietly touched the camel shop.

The rising moon seems to have not yet found the feeling of fully unleashing enthusiasm. Slightly shy, hiding in a wisp of clouds abandoned by the breeze. Only a faint white, weak one will be spread on the ground to show its presence.

Jia Hu hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and used his means to quietly float close to the wooden box. Glancing around, he saw that the entire courtyard was gradually falling asleep. Then he used his means and gently pried open one of the wooden boxes.

Unexpectedly, the situation in front of him made Jia Hu stunned and at a loss. So much so that he fainted slightly.
