Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 58: Inquire about the news
Just as the fat man was carefully watching the strange movements of the four people, he suddenly noticed that there was someone behind him. As soon as I wanted to make a move, I was held down.
That person was none other than Sister Ning.
When the fat man saw that it was Sister Ning, he immediately softened. Sister Ning didn't speak, but just motioned for the fat man to follow her back to the camp.
Then, the two made some plans.
There is also the bitter trick of the fat man being thrown over the shoulder by Sister Ning on the Gobi Desert just now.
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, the fat man tore all the paper covering the tent, and then put it in his bag, ready to burn it later.
Then he said to me: "Xiao Su, sleep well, and my brother will take you to see the strength of our "Touching Jin Captain" at night!" ”
I already know the purpose of the fat man and Sister Ning's acting, on the one hand, it is to confuse the public and let those people in the "Europa" company know about our actions at night. On the one hand, it was for me and the fat man to go back to the camp and spy on the mysterious organizations that used the spirit flags.
We're not sure if there's a hidden Ground Explorer at Europa who is constantly listening to us. Therefore, when the fat man recounted his and Sister Ning's plan to me, he took the form of writing with a pen.
As for our actions at night, we are not afraid of these "earth probes" hearing about it. It is unclear how many shadowy forces are hidden in their ranks. I didn't ask the fat sister Ning about the arrangement, but I thought that for the fishing and net collection operation at night, Sister Ning would definitely arrange it properly.
Let the "Earth Explorers" know our actions at night, so that the entire "Europa" side of the people can enter the net laid by Sister Ning at night. When the time comes, these dark forces will definitely be exposed. At that point, we'll be able to catch them all.
After the fat man finished speaking, I tacitly cooperated with him, pretending to be sarcastic and said to him: "Don't brag, whether your methods are clever or not, see you at night, if it is really as amazing as you said, little brother, I recognize you as a master!" ”
The fat man deliberately raised his voice, afraid that the "earth explorers" would not hear it, and said to me, "You are ready to apprentice to the bar!" ”
For the whole day, the fat man and I had nothing to do. After the fat man had carefully sorted out his equipment in the tent, he came out with me and leaned against the Gobi hills to bask in the sun, of course, our main purpose was to observe the forces in the shadows on the opposite side.
On the side of "Europa", before the ruins of the "Inner Land" were determined, only those "Earth Explorers" were busy. The rest of the group, some idle, some like the rough guys, were still unloading wooden boxes from the trucks.
The fat man put down the steamed buns in his hand, clapped his hands, and asked me: "What's the matter, little comrade, will you meet these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the past?" ”
I didn't speak, nodding in agreement with his suggestion.
The distance between our two campsites is about 50 meters, and we choose a hill on both sides to use as a backdrop. In the middle of the campsites on both sides, there is a passage that leads to the Gobi Desert on the left and right.
As I passed through the passage, I glanced over to the search party. Although it is a little far away, it can still vaguely distinguish the figure of Sister Ning and the figure of Yiyi Xiaoqian.
I didn't find the hill that the fat man described to me about where strange spiritist flags hid strangely dressed and dancing people.
I don't know in which direction, depending on the fat man's legs and feet, it is estimated that it will not be too close. In the words of the fat man, he just didn't have any tools in his hands last night. Combined with the celestial phenomena and the trajectory of the earth, there must have been large tombs on the left and right of that hill. I don't know if this tomb is the site of the "Inner Earth" as the "Europa" company said.
Before the fat man and I could walk to the campsite opposite, we heard the expatriates of the "Europa" company who were still resting, complaining: "What the hell, these "earth explorers" who claim to be the best in the world. Are you lying to us, we've been searching for a few days, and there has been no progress at all! ”
"Eh, man, what are you anxious about? It's not like you won't give you money! ”
"I'm not in a hurry, but my second brother is in a hurry, I haven't seen a woman for a long time!" The rough man said, pointing to his crotch.
The wooden boxes on the truck were almost moved, and the men sat on them, their clothes open, revealing their bronzed muscles inside.
I glanced at the fat man and whispered to the fat man, "Is there anyone you see here?" The fat man shook his head.
I am sure that even if the "probes" hidden in the tent heard this kind of cautious questioning, they would not know what I was trying to say. What's more, the situation is so complex today, and the personnel structure is so complex. I didn't believe in all the noise, they would filter out all the distractions and just listen to the conversation between me and the fat man.
The fat man walked straight to the rough men who were resting, and one of them gave them a cigarette. I bought this cigarette and was temporarily requisitioned by the fat man. After ordering them, the fat man also ordered one for me. I thought about it for a while, and I lit one.
These people are not the same people who drank with us last night and were robbed of meat by the fat man, but another group. Although they are all Ah San's buddies, they are also divided according to their respective acquaintances.
There were seven or eight people who drank with us yesterday, and four of them who didn't say a word were the mysterious forces that the fat man saw dancing around the spirit flags that the fat man had seen behind the hill.
I think that the burning of the corpses in the yellow sand is also the work of these four people. I don't know how many of them are mixed in the mixed ranks of "Europa", so mysterious, it always makes people feel uneasy.
The fat man was smoking a cigarette and asked them, "Brother, what is in your wooden box?" ”
The rough man took a deep breath of the cigarette the fat man gave him. He took a puff of cigarette and said to the fat man, "Specifically, we don't know very well. But I opened a box, and inside it was lime in a clay pot! You say that this foreigner's company, in this deserted Gobi, what is it doing with so much lime, do you still want to decorate this hill? ”
"You don't understand this, lime can drive away evil spirits. It is said that the place we went down is related to the Netherworld, and there are still few evil things there. Behold, none of these chests of lime can be used! ”
The fat man glanced up at the man and gave him a thumbs up. I found that this big fat man does have a set of boasting about people. Even the arrogant and indifferent Sister Ning was a little overwhelmed by the fat man's earnest sugar-coated cannonballs.
I asked him, "Where have all your people gone, and why do you seem to be missing more than half of them?" ”
The man said, "It's all drunk, sleeping in the tent!" Damn, originally a few of us were also sleeping, and Ah San was called up to move the goods, unlucky! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he shut up and bowed his head and was silent. I turned my head and saw Ah San standing at the door of the tent not far away, looking here with a fierce look in his eyes. Obviously, these people are still afraid of Ah San.
In between my questions, I saw the fat man lying on a wooden box, his face pressed against the lid of the box, sniffing the smell. I said in my heart, this dead fat man either smelled the aroma of food or the aroma of wine, and his nose could even smell the dead breath on Xiaoqian's body. Separated by a layer of wood, there should be no obstacle to his sense of smell.
The fat man sniffed several boxes one after another, and the rough men, after smoking, also curiously learned the fat man's actions and sniffed the boxes. Including me, I couldn't help but learn the movements of the fat man and sniffed the wooden box beside me. As a result, there is only the smell of wood, and some dampness. The rest of the smell, I can't smell it at all.
When the fat man saw that we were all following his example, he said in a weird tone, "Hey, what are you doing here?" Learn from others like this. ”
Hearing his Hong Kong and Taiwan accent, I almost threw it out and asked him to speak well.
The fat man said, "You don't know, brother, I have had a hobby since I was a child, and I like to smell wood. This habit has been with me for decades. I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, after smelling this smell, hey, it's not hard to go up to the fifth floor in one breath! ”
I didn't know about this problem in the fat man's mouth before, but looking at his spirit after smelling the wooden box, it really improved a lot compared to just now.
When the rough men heard the fat man talk about his habits, one of them said, "Hey, brother, you have a good habit." It's better than my hobby, you can refresh yourself after smelling it, my hobby hurts your body! ”
I turned my head to look at the rough man who was talking, and saw that he was the one who had just said that he missed a woman. Presumably, the hobby he said hurts the body is probably like women.
I saw that the fat man wanted to continue to smell the wooden box, so I stopped him in time. Pull down the lid of the dismantled wooden box and hand it to him so that he can smell it.
I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this big fat man.
At this moment, in the tent where Ah San was standing, a person who was familiar to me and the fat man walked out. The head of the multinational company's China region, Peter Jr.
Beside him, in addition to Ah San, there was a thin short man who seemed to lack nutrition, although his face was thin, but his ears were surprisingly large, like an elf in a cartoon. The fat man had sharp eyes and whispered to me, this is the head of those "earth explorers", and the people in the rivers and lakes call it "Shunfeng Ear".
After the fat man finished speaking, I clearly saw that this thin man's ears moved a few times. Obviously, the fat man's voice did not escape his ears.
Little Peter came out of the tent and went straight to us.
He politely said to me and the fat man, "Hello, friend. ”
I nodded, but the fat man replied unceremoniously: "Not good! You are at ease, my master and his old man are doing things for you, and your whereabouts are still unknown, and you are still in the mood to rest in the tent. There is a saying that if you don't lose your child, you will never know how to be in a hurry! ”
I said in my heart, if your master hears you compare him to your child, he must not jump out and beat you!
