Chapter 22 Analytical Reasoning
Before you know it, it's midnight.
Thinking of what might happen tomorrow, Cheng Zhong decided to change the subject:
"Xue Liancheng, you and I will always be good brothers, and we have a lot of time to chat.
There is a very important thing that I must tell you right away. ”
"What is so important?"
"There's probably going to be a big fight tomorrow. ”
"How do you know about the war?"
Xue Liancheng, who was a little sleepy, instantly sobered up and sat up under a quilt.
"One of the guests tonight is very abnormal. ”
"Who is abnormal?"
"Wei Shangdong. ”
"What's wrong with him, isn't he very warm and friendly?"
"The first suspicion is that as a student at Lanzhou University, the calluses on his hands are too thick.
Although the current workers, peasants, and soldiers are college students, and they often participate in labor, after all, they still study most of the time, and there should not be such thick calluses in the palms of their hands.
I noticed this when I met and shook hands.
Moreover, most of his cocoons are concentrated in the mouth of the tiger in his right hand, which makes me feel that it is very much like the palm of a gun held for a long time. ”
Cheng Zhong calmly spoke his conjecture.
"I shook hands with him, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Xue Liancheng said a little embarrassed.
The second suspicion is that he doesn't look like a young college student who has been living in the city for a long time.
His skin was a little too dark and too rough.
The eyes are cloudy, like trachoma.
Plus two symmetrical patches of plateau red on the cheeks.
These are all important characteristics of long-term living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and long-term outdoor activities. ”
Cheng Zhong continued to analyze unhurriedly.
Now, Xue Liancheng can only nod again and again.
He also agrees with Cheng Zhong's opinion.
It's just that for each of these aspects, it is not as clear and thorough as Cheng Zhong thinks.
So, he looked at Cheng Zhong with admiration as if he were a master detective.
The third suspicion is that he doesn't seem to understand current state affairs at all.
When everyone was enthusiastically talking about the domestic situation and major national affairs, he did not say a word.
This is extremely inconsistent with his status as a young intellectual.
According to common sense, people of his age and status are the most qualified and passionate to care about national affairs.
He can read books and newspapers every day, and he is more informed and well-informed than others.
Young people are the most expressive and the most conspicuous age, how can he hold back from speaking?
I think the biggest possibility is that he doesn't even know about those national events.
Even, when others discussed, he did not understand at all and could not express any opinions and opinions.
From this, an important judgment can be deduced:
He may not be a student at Lanzhou University, and he is most likely an impostor. ”
Speaking of the important points, Cheng Zhong also sat up with the quilt on.
He frowned, and analyzed and judged Wei Shangdong's psychology layer by layer.
Hearing this, the tip of Xue Liancheng's nose began to sweat.
He thought of another question, and hurriedly said:
"Even if your suspicion is correct, is it...... Could it be that Yang Hao's family will be mistaken?"
"That's where I wondered.
But then I thought about it, Wei Shangdong must be Yang Hao's cousin, but he may have deceived his relatives, his parents and the people in the village when it came to going to college.
For example, if I didn't go to school, I left the house in the morning as usual and told my family that I had gone to school, and my family would not suspect me. ”
Cheng Zhong remembered that he himself had not gone to school for two days in a row for the sake of the wolf cubs, and gave this example by the way.
Then he went on to say:
"The fourth suspicion, when Wei Shangdong went to the mutton stall to find the two of us, he glanced at those masters, and I paid attention to his eyes, which contained surprise, jealousy, etc., and his expression was also very unnatural. ”
"This, as if I saw it too, but I didn't think about it deeply. Xue Liancheng said.
"Finally, and most importantly, he offered to invite us to go ice skating in Qinghai Lake.
Supposedly, we had only just met him, and we didn't have any friendships, so it was unlikely that he would spend his time and use his connections to ask us to go ice skating for free or something.
Either they had premeditated it, or he sensed the pressure of the town's masters, and decided to take the initiative to lure us out of town so that I could be captured. ”
Cheng Zhong's face was calm, although he talked about his own safety, he didn't see a trace of panic.
Xue Liancheng was impressed by his incisive analysis and was also shocked by his strong willpower.
He stared at Cheng Zhong, as if trying to figure out how such wisdom and courage could appear in this young man of his own age.
"If any of the above doubts appear alone, they are accidental, but now they appear at the same time, it is inevitable.
So tomorrow they will definitely take action.
After getting up in the morning, I waited for Wei Shangdong in the tent hotel, you go to Abba and ask them to follow us from a distance, and make a move if necessary.
Now go to sleep, good night, my good brother!"
Cheng Zhong touched Xue Liancheng's face and turned over......
When the sky was just dawning, Cheng Zhong and Xue Liancheng got up.
Temperatures have warmed up today.
On the grassland, where there is no end in sight, a faint layer of snow mist slowly evaporates.
The bungalows and tents were shrouded in a hazy mist, which became less real.
The extremely thin droplets of water are coolly attached to the person's face and penetrate through the pores, and the cold and refreshing feeling instantly permeates the whole body.
Most of the grassland residents do not have the habit of washing their faces in the morning, so when they wipe their faces, they will be treated as if nature has helped them do this.
Xue Lian Cheng went out to find Abba and them, and Cheng Zhong was still wandering around the tent.
As a teenager, he had to face such a serious problem.
It seems that God is forcing him to mature as soon as possible and grow up as soon as possible.
He sighed softly. The images of the battle that were about to appear today repeatedly came to my mind, and I always felt that everything would not go as smoothly as expected.
He returned to the tent, found the old schoolbag from under his pillow, and put the only 300 yuan he had left in the bag.
He found a pen and paper and wrote a message to Master Sanchi, as he had conceived......
Zhang Xiaoning and Zhang Gaixiang also got up quickly.
They entered the tent of the two boys, and when they saw that Xue Liancheng was not there, Cheng Zhong was frowning and writing there, so they had to hesitate to retreat and prepare breakfast after discussion.
Zhang Gaixiang really wanted to ask when he would return to his hometown of Tiemushan, Huining, and Zhang Xiaoning also wanted to ask Zhao Ying about his current situation.
But none of them asked.
They know that such problems can cause more stress on teenagers.
At a young age, the burden on Cheng Zhong's shoulders has exceeded his load, and they are powerless to help him share anything, and it is not good to add pressure to him.
They knew that Cheng Zhong should have a plan, and that a mysterious force was following him.
But that's not something they can understand.
For them, they can only choose to trust him unconditionally and support him......
At around half past nine, Yang Hao and Wei Shangdong came over together.
Seeing Yang Hao, Cheng Zhong was a little surprised:
"Yang Hao, why are you here, today is Monday, aren't you going to school?"
"Hehe, I want to play with me, I'm going to skip school for a day!"
Yang Hao looked at Cheng Zhong and Wei Shangdong with begging eyes and said.
"No!" Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhong and Wei Shangdong said in unison.
"Didn't you say okay, you brought me over to school, why did you change your hexagram again?" Wei Shangdong continued.
"Don't go today, don't go to school, my uncle and aunt will scold us if they find out. When it's the weekend, let's look for a chance to go again. Cheng Zhong also smiled and persuaded Yang Hao.
"That'...... Alright!"
Seeing that both of them said this, although Yang Hao was unwilling, he had no choice but to nod obediently, leave the tent hotel, and go back to school.
Xue Liancheng has already returned.
The three men got out of their tents, mounted their horses, and headed southeast.
Riding on the plateau, riders generally do not choose to take the big road.
Because there will be large and small pebbles on the road, and when the horse's hooves step on it, it will slip and limp, and the horse will be uncomfortable, and the rider will not be comfortable.
When the horse runs up to the prairie, there is no such problem.
Of course, the horses here are very adapted to the characteristics of the grassland, and they are already familiar with the feeling of grass under their hooves, and they can run with ease, like a fish swimming under the sea and an eagle soaring in the sky.
Wei Shangdong took the lead, Cheng Zhong was in the center, and Xue Lian was postponed.
The three horses galloped like sa huanzi.
When encountering an uphill slope, the horses slow down naturally, and the rider does not deliberately use a whip to chase them.
When it comes downhill, the horse's hooves naturally slow down, and the rider does not tighten the reins and slow down.
After a few days of horseback riding, Cheng Zhong has become a qualified rider.
His nerves were now relaxed, his expression relaxed, his legs naturally apart, and his waist swayed naturally with the strength of the horse's gallop.
Only when accelerating, will the stirrups be tightened and the legs will be straightened to reduce the impact of the saddle on the buttocks.
