Chapter 030: A Trip to the Desert
After listening to Lao Zheng's story, Han Wei didn't know how to comfort him, it was so incredible that Han Wei couldn't believe it completely. I originally thought that the white jade ring was already very mysterious, but I didn't expect that there was an even more incredible curse. Seriously, Han Wei was also afraid in his heart, it was not something that could be changed by manpower.
Looking at Lao Zheng's firm and resolute expression, Han Wei couldn't refuse, just like Lao Zheng said, he will be fifty-two years old in a few months, which means that he is likely to have only a few months of short life left, and it may be the last chance to repay the grace of saving his life. Thinking of this, Han Wei no longer hesitated, and said: "I'll help you, but it's best to wait a few days before setting off, the body has not fully recovered, so as not to help each other at that time, but become a burden." ”
Lao Zheng nodded and said, "There are still a few people who will go together, you only need to send me to the lower part of the relict city to leave, I will be ready to block the stone gate of the labyrinth, and you can return the same way in a short time." ”
According to what Lao Zheng said, the danger of Han Wei and the others going here has been reduced by half, and at this time Han Wei understood, Lao Zheng told him the story, he was really his friend, unwilling to deceive, and at the same time told the heavy past that was pressed in his heart. Qiu Lao has left, and everything can only be borne by Lao Zheng alone, Lao Zheng needs to be released in order to support him to go to the desert relict city.
"We're waiting for a week to go, tomorrow is the funeral of Lao Qiu, we have to go anyway, and there is still a lot of equipment to buy." Lao Zheng said and took out a bank card, handed it to Han Wei, and said, "It's very dangerous to go this time, settle down at home first." ”
Han Wei didn't take the bank card, he didn't do it for money, he regarded Lao Zheng as a real friend, the kind that could be entrusted with life and death, and if he really died, the money would not be able to make up for the pain of his parents. Han Wei smiled: "When you come back, you will give it to me." ”
After saying that, Han Wei left Lao Zheng's house, he just didn't want Lao Zheng to go with a mortal heart, he didn't even have the desire to live, and he really couldn't come back if he went. Han Wei came to the city alone and broadcast his parents' phone calls, everything is fine at home, the second grandfather is still used to living in it, and the climate in Guiyang is very good, which is very suitable for the elderly. Han Wei didn't reply to Zhang Lu's call, if he could come back alive this time, he wouldn't mind continuing this beautiful encounter.
dialed the phone number of his sworn friend Fuxian, and was scolded head-on, forgetting what he said, not even answering the phone, and not replying to the text message. Han Wei had long been accustomed to Fuxian's verbal attacks, and he had full immunity, so he let the artillery fire attack. Fuxian returned to Inner Mongolia after graduation and invited Han Wei to play, and Han Wei casually promised that if he could come back, he would go there.
The two had just chatted for a few words, and there was a woman's snorting voice on the other end of the phone, Han Wei on the other end of the phone was covered with goosebumps when he heard it, Fuxian hung up the phone in a hurry, and Han Wei didn't bother to pay attention to it, knowing that the kid must be picking up girls again.
I wandered around the street alone, and I didn't go back to Lao Zheng's house until late, Lao Zheng may have slept, and the villa was quiet, with a somewhat eerie feeling. Han Wei went straight back to his room, and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Lao Zheng woke up Han Wei, and after hurriedly washing, he rushed to the cemetery. In the car, Lao Zheng threw Han Wei a file bag, opened it and saw that it was the photo of the black mole man who kidnapped him, although it was only a sideways photo, but Han Wei was very sure that it was this person.
It turned out that Lao Zheng went to find someone overnight and found that the person he knew was dead, and the black mole man who kidnapped Han Wei was his son, who only knew that his surname was Wang, his nickname was Vulture, and his full name was not clear. The vulture specializes in antique reselling business, and is vicious, but the level is extremely high, and the name of the vulture comes from this. The vulture's whereabouts are erratic, Lao Zheng has asked someone to find it, and he will notify Han Wei as soon as there is news, and Lao Zheng has given Han Wei's contact information to the other party.
Bai Yujie is already a piece of Han Wei's heart, he just hopes to find the black mole man as soon as possible, Han Wei did not choose to ask the police for help, he wanted to get the secret of Bai Yujie from the black mole man's mouth, he can imagine that once the police intervene, the black mole man will never speak, otherwise he will not be worthy of the name of vulture.
Han Wei and Lao Zheng just caught up with the moment when Qiu Lao was buried, and all the people who came were Qiu Lao's colleagues and friends. Han Wei stepped forward and knelt down, which could be regarded as seeing off the old man as a nephew. Lao Zheng stood in front of the tomb for a long time and was reluctant to leave, until everyone left, Lao Zheng left, and at the last time, he whispered something to the photo of Qiu Lao on the tombstone, Han Wei guessed that it was about preparing to go to the desert relict city this time.
……
A week passed quickly, and Han Wei and Lao Zheng, a total of six people, had already boarded a flight to Xinjiang, and there was no special plane to Aksu City, so they had to transit in Urumqi.
The other six people, Han Wei only knows Li Hua, this Li Hua has always followed Qiu Lao, trust and courage are not a problem, this has been verified in the Qinling Ancient Tomb. The other three, according to Lao Zheng, the thinnest person is called Tuxingsun, an old digger, who was invited by a lot of money, and he must be very powerful when he hears that nickname. There are also two veterans, the slightly taller is called Wu Yunke, and the other is called Liu Shi, and Li Hua used to be comrades-in-arms, and they know each other well and can believe it.
That Tuxingsun was very talkative, chatting with Han Wei, but he didn't talk about tomb robbing, Han Wei was not interested in tomb robbery, he just asked about Bai Yujie, but unfortunately Tuxingsun didn't know.
After a day's journey, everyone had come to Aksu City, and without stopping, they entered the Taklamakan Desert non-stop. Lao Zheng has lived in Aksu City for a long time and already has a deep understanding of the desert, and he does not need to ask a guide at all if he does not enter the core area of the desert. At this time, it is almost winter, and the desert in winter is very cold at night, so Lao Zheng specially prepared an extra camel to place a thick military coat and a mysterious compass. I don't know what means Lao Zheng used, even the antiquities of the Institute of Archaeology can be taken out.
It was the first time Han Wei had seen the desert and the first time he had ridden a camel, but fortunately, the camel was very docile and would not have any difficulties. Han Wei looked at the endless yellow sand, the shock in his heart could not calm down for a long time, and he felt his infinite insignificance. Tuxingsun seemed to be familiar with the desert, wearing a mask and humming softly, looking very relaxed.
The sky soon became overcast, the chill was rising, the temperature seemed to change in an instant, and as soon as everyone changed into military coats, they heard the whistling sound ahead. The sound was high-pitched, like a scream, like the sound of grains of sand crashing against each other. At first, the sound was very ethereal, but after a while, it was like thunder, accompanied by the yellow sand.
"No, find a place to hide."
"It's a desert storm, get out of here."
The voices of Lao Zheng and Tuxingsun sounded at the same time, and as soon as the words fell, the originally docile camel became uneasy, and its body began to swing violently, letting out a howl. Han Wei was almost thrown off, but fortunately he clung to the hump, but after a few bumps, he stabilized. There was a small sand dune in front, probably a little higher than a camel, Lao Zheng and Tuxingsun walked in front to lead the way, and Han Wei and a few people followed closely. At this time, the whistling is too loud, and you can only shout at the top of your throat to hear each other's voices.
The little sand dunes were not very far away, and after two minutes the people had arrived, and they hurriedly dismounted the camels, let the camels stand side by side behind the dunes, and covered the camels with tents, and everyone hid under the camels. After doing this, I saw that the yellow sand in the sky had already arrived at the location of Han Wei and the others, and the surroundings were suddenly dark, and the visibility was less than one meter.
The yellow sand constantly slapped on the camel's body, causing the camel to roar, and the camel generally does not make a cry except during the estrus period, and now it must be suffering greatly. The storm showed no signs of stopping, judging from the sound, it was moving towards the location of Han Wei and the others, and what Lao Zheng said to everyone was just not clear at all.
Suddenly, a camel knelt down and almost pressed Han Wei, the tent on the camel's body fell off, and a pile of yellow sand poured down, there was no time to dodge, everyone was buried in the yellow sand, at least covering their waists. The yellow sand was still drifting, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, Han Wei and the others immediately climbed up, but there was no focus point, and they couldn't break free for a while.
Seeing that the yellow sand on their bodies was getting more and more, several camels finally stood up and did not leave immediately, but still waited in place. With the camel shelter, only a very small amount of yellow sand hit, the pressure on Han Wei and the others was much lighter, and they climbed up step by step, and soon came out with most of their bodies. At this moment, the sky suddenly became completely overcast, and even those who were close at hand could not see clearly.
"The storm is coming, quick, quick." Tuxingsun roared wildly, and the sound reached everyone's ears was already very small. But everyone still knew that the situation was very dangerous, and climbed up frantically, and finally Li Hua was the first to regain his freedom, and immediately turned on the flashlight, and under the illumination of the light, he could barely see a vague figure within three meters.
With Li Hua's help, Lao Zheng and Han Wei have regained their freedom, and at this time they can already feel the strong wind blowing, and it is difficult for people to stand firm. The crowd did not dare to stop for a moment, and immediately mounted their camels, desperately urging the camels to move forward as fast as they could. In order not to fall behind in the darkness, everyone turned on their flashlights and tied them to the hump, so that they could sense each other and watch the light move forward.
"Quick, there's a boulder here." Tuxingsun's vision was really good, and he still found a small mountain bag piled up with stones in the blur.
Hearing the sound, everyone immediately rushed over, the mountain bag was only more than a meter high, everyone curled up against the boulder, the camel was divided on both sides, and finally barely blocked the invasion of the wind and sand. The light of several flashlights gathered together, and they could see each other's faces clearly, and everyone looked embarrassed, like beggars.
I thought I could rest for a while, but this short time was too consumed, but as soon as everyone drank a sip of water, the boulder behind them suddenly disappeared, and a strong wind hit, and everyone was blown away, and the farthest fell ten meters away. Only now did everyone realize that the boulder had not suddenly disappeared, but had been swept up into the sky. It's just that Han Wei and the others are too unlucky, and the location where they are hiding is exactly where the storm moves. Now it was impossible to leave, the storm swept in, and everyone and the camels were wrapped up in the sky.
