Chapter 184: Sandstorm Lonely Shadow
It has entered the heart of the desert, and it is ten hours away from its destination, if nothing else. Li Gong had already stopped recalling, Han Wei and Lin Xue had many doubts in their hearts, but they didn't ask, Han Tian didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak, the car fell into silence, and the atmosphere was very weird.
Han Wei had heard of Gaochang State, which was established by the Han people in the Western Regions, and at its peak, its power covered almost the entire Xinjiang region, and due to its special geographical location, the transportation hub of the ancient Western Regions was one of the political, economic and cultural centers of ancient Xinjiang. However, the core area of Gaochang State is in the Turpan Basin of Xinjiang, the transportation is not convenient in ancient times, and the control outside the core area is relatively low. It's almost their blind spot, is Li Gong lying? Or is there something else going on?
Whether the treasure is real or not, Han Wei doesn't care very much, the purpose of this time is just to seal the copy. But there is one of the biggest doubts, why does Li Gong know so clearly about Vic's affairs, and even the delicate mind of the eagle in his heart, he knows it clearly, and can show him clearly? Is it Vic himself who said it? Or is it Li Gong's fiction?
If it were the former, Vic might have described the flight and danger in detail, but he would never tell strangers, not even his parents, about his faith, that it was a betrayal of his faith, something that needed to be hidden deeply. If Li Gong lied and put Vic in the open, what was the intention? Does he have some ulterior secrets, or does Vic have a secret on him, something that Li Gong wants to know, but can't know, and needs to rely on external forces? But if Li Gong is telling a lie, then he is the most powerful liar in the world, everything he says, as if he has experienced it himself, everything is so true and full of real feelings.
In fact, there is another possibility, that is, Li Gong, like Lin Xue, has the ability to control people's mental power, and when this ability is strong enough, he can theoretically know everything about the other party, even if he hides the deepest thoughts, he can know it clearly. It's just that if you have this ability, do you still need Lin Xue to accompany you? And once she encounters someone with strong mental power, Lin Xue will immediately sense it, and now she has not spoken, which means that she has no sense in this regard. Could it be that Li Gong is much more powerful than Lin Xue, so he has no induction? Han Wei himself didn't believe in this possibility, because he was much more powerful than Lin Xue, and he could easily control everyone, did he need to say so much?
No matter which possibility it is, Li Gong is very special, or it feels very weird, Han Wei thought in his heart, and suddenly saw Han Tian frowning and thinking about something, presumably he also had the same doubts, but for some reason he didn't say it. Suddenly, Han Wei found that this trip was far from being as simple as he imagined, the uncertain environment, the uncertain people, and the fact that he had not yet entered the desert basin made people feel extremely weird.
Before I knew it, it was getting late, and a small sandstorm appeared, so I had to stop and camp in place, with four cars in the direction of the wind, and the tents were erected on the leeward side. The first time Han Wei saw Vic, when he was at the airport, Vic was hiding in the car, and now that he has set up the tent, he can't wait to enter the tent, not knowing what he is hiding. Han Wei felt that Vic was a little sluggish, not in terms of movement, but in terms of spirit, especially in that look, empty and confused, and faintly did not feel a trace of anger, like walking corpses.
Originally, I wanted to talk to Vic, maybe I could get some other clues, but when I was about to enter the tent, I was stopped by Li Gong and said: "Vic's mental state is not very good, and I don't like other people to disturb me." ”
Li Gong didn't have to lower his voice, Vic in the tent must have been able to hear it, but he didn't speak, he should have acquiesced to Li Gong's words. Han Wei looked at the figure projected on the tent, motionless, was Vic resting, or was he pondering something? The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, hesitated for a moment, or left, he didn't want to force others, at least not when there was no threat to his safety.
After a simple meal, they each went back to the tent, Han Wei, Li Hua, Liu Shi, and Lin Xue were together, and finally had a separate space to discuss some things. Han Wei first told Li Hua and Liu Shi about the situation in the desert basin in the simplest words, wanting to know what they thought", and then asked: Lin Xue, do you think Li Gong is lying? ”
"Li Gong's mental power is very stable when he speaks, and he should not be lying." When Lin Xue was in the car, she kept an eye on Li Gong and Han Tian, once a person lies, it may be very well hidden on the surface, it is difficult to see, but the invisible mental power must have a sense of tension, ordinary people don't know at all, even if they do, they don't know how to hide, so it is the best weapon to tell whether a person is lying.
For Lin Xue's judgment, Han Wei and the three of them were very trusting, and the three of them were silent, if Li Gong didn't lie, then why did he know Vic so deeply, there was a feeling of the same person, could it really be the same person? As soon as an idea arises, discard this unrealistic idea.
The storm continued, the wind howling outside, the sand slapping against cars and tents, the noise grew louder and louder, so loud that it was impossible to hear it when you were close to talking. Han Wei and the four of them ended the conversation, since they have come here, they will be safe when they come, and it is useless to think more, unless they return the same way. But without Vic's guidance, I really don't know if I can walk out safely, Li Hua and Liu Shi sat in the front car with Vic, and witnessed Vic determine the direction by feeling, why didn't it leave a hidden mark? Because Liu Shi, as a master in this area, can still find out if there is a mark.
Han Wei, Li Hua, and Liu Shi have to take turns to keep vigil, even if there is a constant storm outside, and they may be buried if they go out, they still have to be cautious, people's hearts are unpredictable, Han Tian, Li Gong and others can't fully believe it. Han Wei chose the first vigil, his thoughts were constant, too many doubts could not be put down, and he couldn't sleep if he wanted to, so it was better to keep vigil.
The lights were out, and it was pitch black in the tent, and even if there was a hazy moonlight, it could not penetrate the flying sand in the sky. Han Wei leaned on the corner of the tent, his thoughts drifted, listening to the sound of the sandstorm, memories gradually came to his heart, the same desert, the same environment, but things are not people, Lao Zheng is no longer there. Everything seemed to have just happened, and for a moment, Han Wei wanted to rush out and look for Lao Zheng who was lost in the desert, but he quickly woke up and knew that the past would eventually pass, and there was nothing else he could do but remember.
Thinking of Lao Zheng pressed in his heart, Han Wei was very upset, felt depressed, and gently opened the tent, revealing a corner, just enough to poke his head out. When I put my head out, I was immediately stained with sand and dirt all over my head, and I also had it in my mouth and nose, and I was extremely uncomfortable and couldn't help but vomit. The thoughts in my mind suddenly dissipated, only the idea of hiding from the wind and sand, when I wanted to retract my head, I suddenly saw a figure in the distance, about ten meters away, in the flying sand, I could only see a vague shadow, even if the other party was on the side, I couldn't see who it was.
The figure was very strange, standing in the wind and sand, his body shook in the wind, and his body was covered with a layer of sand, but he still did not dodge. Is it a deliberate attempt to die? There are many aspects to death, and you don't have to torture yourself so much, and you don't have to die. If not death, what would it be for? In a sandstorm at night, it is impossible to stroll, unless the person has a mental problem. Regardless of the reason, regardless of the danger, standing in the sandstorm, the first question is, who is this person? There is almost no possibility of outsiders, so who will it be Han Tian or Li Gong's people?
After waiting for a while, the figure had no intention of leaving, could it be that he was looking for something? But there is no light, how can you find things? Han Wei was sure that it must be a person, it was definitely not an illusion, and he glanced at the tent next to him, the lights were all out, and it was dark, and he couldn't be sure for the time being, where the person came from. Han Wei woke up Li Hua beside him, turned on his mobile phone, and told him what he had just discovered in his ear by means of a hazy light. Han Wei decided to take a look, but he needed someone to keep vigil, so he was afraid that if he was diverted from the mountain.
"Where's the people?" Li Hua poked his head out to check, but did not find a figure, although the visibility around was extremely low, but a figure was still relatively obvious within a certain distance.
As soon as he heard Li Hua say that he didn't find a figure, Han Wei immediately poked his head out, and sure enough, the figure was gone, the wind and sand were still there, and the sound of someone moving couldn't be heard, so he wasn't sure if he had left. I looked at the tent next to me, it was very quiet, I talked to Li Hua for a short time just now, if someone returned to the tent, they should be found, but now they haven't found it, are the figures often gone in the sandstorm?
Although the figure was gone, Han Wei still walked out of the tent, and when he came, he had already prepared masks and protective goggles, and he was fully armed, so he didn't have to worry about the invasion of sand and dust in a short time. Han Wei walked four or five meters, and felt that the wind was very strong, and it was a problem to stand, let alone continue to move forward. The distance of four or five meters outside the tent is out of the range of the car's wind, so the wind is very strong, and further on, the wind should increase a little. Sure enough, as speculated, he continued to move forward for about two meters, and his body faintly felt like it was going to be blown over, Han Wei was not completely sure, and guaranteed that he would not encounter great danger when he walked forward, so he hesitated for a moment and chose to stop.
The light of the flashlight only increased the visual distance by a few meters, and still no human figure was found. Suddenly, a strong wind hit, Han Wei couldn't support it anymore, he was blown away a few meters away, fortunately there was not much pain when he fell on the sand, he was very conscious, he didn't get up, he lay on the ground and crawled in the direction of the tent, crawling was the least resistant, for Han Wei, it was still able to support.
While walking, Han Wei felt that someone was peeping, so he quickly turned over and looked behind him and saw no one. And that strange sense of peeping disappeared the moment he turned over, and even Han Wei was not sure if it was an illusion. After waiting in place for a while, seeing no other movement, he continued to walk, and the feeling of peeping did not appear again. When he returned to the tent, he deliberately walked outside the other tents, and the people inside seemed to be sleeping very dead, and there was no movement.
Who the hell is the figure? Is this trip destined to not go well?
