Looking at Xiao Mao in front of me, I probably guessed that he must have never left the desert, but just hid in a place I couldn't see. This time, it may be that he really couldn't hide, so he was forced to show up.

As soon as Xiao Mao appeared, I felt that something should come to light.

"It's winding now, let's stay in a different place." Xiao Mao smiled bitterly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but the blood had already dried: "Go over there and hide." ”

Xiao Mao must know the entrance of the pottery pipe, and the side he said is obviously it. It is sheltered from the wind and quiet under the terracotta pipe, and it is indeed a good place to rest.

However, I stood still, looking in front of and behind me. My eyes haven't smeared the contents of the vial, and I can't see Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten now.

"Let's go, they're gone." Xiao Mao seemed to know that I was looking for the shadows of Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten, he shook his head and said, "They have been with you for so long, it is time to rest." ”

"What do you mean? What exactly do you mean? "I was in a hurry, the matter involved the safety of Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten, and I couldn't be calm.

"This man is dead, and it is time for the two of them to rest." Xiao Mao pointed to the person lying on the ground, and then slowly walked towards the entrance of the pottery pipe.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I quickly followed him, and took all the things I had left behind, as well as the camel. I used steel drills and reinforcing piles to leave the camels outside the entrance to the terracotta pipe. By the time I was done, Xiao Mao was already sitting inside the pottery tube, sliding a few meters downward.

This guy is hiding deep enough! I gritted my teeth secretly, looking at Xiao Mao's current actions, he must be familiar with the pottery pipe here.

Xiao Mao was in front, I was behind, and the two of them slid directly down the pottery pipe to the bottom. Just a few clay pipes, but they construct two worlds that are completely different from the outside. In such a quiet environment, my emotions calmed down a little.

As soon as Xiao Mao stopped, he took off his shirt and checked the injuries on his body. The place where he was injured by the stupid sea before was not healed, and now he has a new injury, and I can see that there seems to be a knife on his waist, and he has probably been hit hard in the back.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Mao began to cough, coughing very hard, and I wondered if he had some kind of internal organ injury. Coughing and coughing, I was afraid that he would not be able to catch his breath and die like this.

However, Xiao Mao is still very hard, after coughing for a long time, he coughed up a ball of bloody phlegm, this time, he was much more comfortable, took a heavy breath, and sat down against the stone wall next to him.

"I'll ask you first." I looked at Xiao Mao, and moved a step towards him, the two of them were almost face to face, I was so close, I just wanted to see if his expression and eyes would betray him, and whether I would detect that he was lying: "When we dug up the remains of that caravan, the dried corpse named Wu Qiang, and then pretended to be a ghost there, and finally dug up a cylinder, and the text in that cylinder was written by you?" ”

When I found the hat and the note in the hat, I thought the handwriting on it was familiar, and I was flustered and didn't think about it that much, but when I calmed down, I thought back to why I thought the handwriting on the note was familiar. Because the handwriting on this slip of paper is the same as the handwriting of the written materials in the cylinder.

"Yes, I wrote it." Xiao Mao also looked at me, but he didn't deny it, and admitted it in one bite.

Only now did I realize that there was no second cylinder in the bunker where the caravan was located. The second cylinder was on Xiao Mao's body, which had already been prepared, and when we were not paying attention, he hid the cylinder directly under the camel's carcass. In order to make me feel that this cylinder was an unexpected gain, he also specially arranged a small episode of the Qianniu Wei Zhonglang named Wu Qian to "cheat the corpse".

What did he do it for?

In fact, as long as he knows that all this was arranged by him, then his motives are probably clear. The text in the cylinder only highlights one piece of information, that is, the so-called world.

If Xiao Mao himself told me that there were stories about the world, then I would definitely listen to these as a story, and forget it after listening. However, if the information of the Great World was found from the relics of a caravan in the Tang Dynasty, then the impression of this information in my mind would be completely different.

In other words, Xiao Mao arranged these just to tell me, and to make me believe that there is such a thing as a thousand worlds.

"Isn't it fun to play like this?"

"It's not interesting, it's really not." The corners of Xiao Mao's mouth twitched, it was estimated that the pain made him a little unbearable, but he was very tolerant and tried to restrain himself: "I don't want to do this, but I can't help it." ”

"It seems that once a person is debunked, this reason is the reason on the lips, and it is said casually." I feel that Xiaomao's reason is too lame: "I don't want to do this, but don't I still do it in the end?" ”

"Really, you can believe me or not, I'm telling the truth. Although we haven't been together for a long time, I know that you are a good friend, a reliable friend, and I am very sorry that I have hidden something from you. Xiao Mao said to me very seriously: "When you gave me a camel and let me walk by myself, it was so as not to drag me down." You're left alone, facing the unknown desert. To be honest, I admire you, righteous enough, bloody enough, and a gentleman. ”

"I don't want to hear that, I just want to hear something substantial, useful."

Xiao Mao was silent, lowered his head, not knowing if the injury made him too uncomfortable, or if he refused to tell the truth. I didn't rush him, I lit a cigarette and smoked it, and waited for him quietly.

After a while, Xiao Mao raised his head and asked me for a cigarette.

"This time, I'm done with it, and when I get out of here, maybe I'll be free." Xiao Mao took a puff of cigarette and began to cough again. He was forced to pinch out his cigarette and pant hard.

"Liberated, what do you mean?"

"Two meanings, first, I may die, and second, I may get real liberation, go far away, to a strange place where no one knows me, and start living again."

Listening to Xiao Mao's words, I frowned, but I quickly understood what he meant. He is doing things for others, and after doing this, the people behind him may give him a sum of money to let him fly away, or they may kill him.

Xiao Mao is not sure, he doesn't know what the result will be waiting for him.

"I just think it's weird." I asked, "Who is the person behind you?" He's so powerful? ”

Because our car operation this time was the guide contacted by Zhang Momoto's people, I didn't suspect Xiao Mao at all. But at this moment, I think the person behind Xiao Mao is too powerful, and is this thing too coincidental, Zhang Momo's friend helped contact the guide, and he happened to contact Xiao Mao?

"No one is so powerful and omniscient, and it takes a lot of time and effort to get a clue." Xiao Mao stopped smoking, put the snuffed cigarette under his nose and smelled it, he seemed to smell the cigarette, and seemed to be thinking, thinking about whether he should tell me something. After a while, he suddenly smiled to himself: "I don't know what the final result is, but whether my result is what I want or not, but there are some things, I don't want to hide it from you, you are a good friend, in fact, I can barely be regarded as a friend enough." ”

Just like Xiao Mao said, it takes a lot of time and energy to get a clue. Our disc action seems to be tight, but in fact it has already been leaked.

The reason for the leak is mainly Zhang Momo's phone number. Her phone number was found from the inside, and the call log was typed. There are several call logs for special time periods, which may be the focus of investigation. Zhang Momo's entrusted friend, the number belongs to Urumqi, and the call of this number was immediately noticed.

Zhang Momo's friend's mobile phone call record was retrieved again, anyway, it went around in the middle, and the target of the investigation was finally locked on the guide contacted by her friend.

This guide was one step ahead of us, arriving at Tiger Ears two days earlier. As soon as he arrived, he was immediately controlled.

Immediately after, Xiao Mao replaced the guide.

"You're playing so high." I don't know whether to hate each other or admire each other, and a series of things are done without leakage. The guide was contacted by his own people, so when they met at Hu'er, Xiao Mao said the name Mao Aiguo, and from me to Zhang Momo, there was no suspicion.

At the same time, I also noticed that since Zhang Momo's phone number has been followed, then the numbers of me, Lao Wang and Ning Xiaomei will naturally not be let go.

"Actually, from the time I picked you up in Tiger Ears, I knew that someone wanted to beat me in the back." Xiao Mao sniffed the cigarette and continued: "I'm not afraid of this, on the contrary, for me, this is still an opportunity to dispel your last suspicion of me. ”

I have an indescribable feeling in my heart, on the night of Xiao Mao's accident in Tiger Ears, I thought I found it in time, and I thought I saved Xiao Mao's life. At that time, I still felt that Xiao Mao was inexperienced and easy to be enlightened, but I didn't expect that it was not him who was easy to be enlightened, it was me.

Indeed, the incident with Tiger Ears made me completely believe in Xiao Mao's identity.

"I don't understand." I remembered the sandstorm time, Xiao Mao was almost attacked from behind, now it seems that he must have been on guard at the time, even if I didn't make a move, Xiao Mao would have another way to avoid the attack: "Since you know that someone is going to beat you with a stick, why don't you fight back?" Not to debunk? ”

"If I fight back, it will be equivalent to completely tearing my face with the other party, and I will definitely fight, I can't do that. I'm impersonating you as your guide and have a more important mission. ”
