Chapter 9: Testimonial

Only one person can come out!

I said, "Why do you say that?" ”

Huang Xi smiled: "If you don't believe it, then treat it as nonsense." ”

I said, "Did you find out that Zhang Hui had a problem?" ”

He said, "No." ”

I said, "Tell me anything!" The safety of 11 people is at stake! ”

He said, "I've said everything I need to say." I'm gone, take care. ”

Huang Xi really quit.

He left the convoy and returned to Korla along the road, and then to Hami, from where he would return to Shandong.

There are 5 cars left in the convoy.

I told everyone to stop, gather on the road, and tell them the news.

Everyone looked at each other and was silent.

Wei spoke earlier: "Second Γ—! ”

I didn't expect this veteran to have such a temper.

Then, he said angrily: "Withdrawing from the battle, isn't this distracting the morale of the army!" ”

I said, "Don't say anything, come and go voluntarily." I'm okay with the juice, what about you? ”

Bai Xinxin said: "Even if you quit, I will continue." ”

He said, "I'll continue." ”

Zhang Hui said, "I'll continue." ”

"I'll continue," said Xurgo. ”

Wei Zao said: "Even if I am left alone, I will go." ”

Bubu said, "I'm fine. ”

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "If everyone goes, I will go." ”

Yiwu nodded at me.

I said, "Let's go!" ”

From this place, we left the road and plunged into the vast Gobi Desert. The breath of death appeared like nothing, and my heart was raised again.

On the first car were Wei Zao and the guide.

On the second car were Bubu and Hurgo.

On the third car were Meng Xiaoshuai, Wai and Four Eyes.

On the fourth car was Bai Xinxin and Yiwu.

The last car was me, Pulp and Zhang Hui. I drive a Land Rover Defender, white.

The hard road is gone, and occasionally two ruts can be seen on the Gobi Desert, intermittently, walking and disappearing. We saw an unclaimed truck, it was blown over by the high wind, I don't know how many years, it was barely colorable, the glass was shattered, and the four tires were deflated.

I made a point to pay attention to it, and there were no bones in the car.

Pulp held up her phone and filmed.

Zhang Hui sat in the back seat and didn't speak.

The back of the head of me and Pulp Juice are under Zhang Hui's surveillance. But we couldn't see his expressions or movements.

I stopped the car, turned around and said, "Zhang Hui, you and Pulp Juice exchange." ”

Pulp said, "Why? ”

I said, "The co-pilot is not safe, protect women." ”

When Zhang Hui heard this, he quickly said "oh", opened the car door and jumped out.

Pulp was not polite, she said, "Then I'll go to sleep in the back seat." ”

I said, "There's a blanket, cover it some." ”

Pulp said, "Your blanket? Forget it. ”

Pulp carried her satchel to the back seat, and Zhang Hui and I sat side by side in the front.

Keep moving.

We have not yet entered Lop Nur.

On the Gobi Desert, there are no people at all. Only far away there was a row of low, crooked earthen huts, called earthen nests, half on the ground and half underground. I don't know if it was the iron miners or the prisoners.

This was the last human house we saw.

The wind in the Gobi Desert is getting stronger and stronger, blowing the car a little bit.

I said, "Zhang Hui, let's talk." ”

He said, "Wow. ”

I said, "What school did you graduate from?" ”

"Provincial judicial school," he said. ”

I said, "Can you tell me the story of the prison?" Refresh. ”

"Actually, working in prison is boring," he said. ”

I said, "It's mysterious to outsiders." ”

He said: "There are two prisoners in our prison, they were in the same county town before they came in, one is Nanbatian, the other is Beibatian, one day, in order to grab the territory, they led dozens of brothers to fight, the ground was full of blood, and finally, those brothers ran out, and the two of them were left to fight a decisive battle, Nan Batian cut off the nose of North Batian, and North Batian bit off one of Nan Batian's ears. After they were sentenced, they were all sent to our prison. When the wind is released, the two of them can't meet, as long as they meet, they immediately rush together like mad dogs, fighting desperately, and they can't be dragged apart......"

I said, "Both of them have water in their heads." ”

He said: "Some prisoners stay in prison all year round, and they are too lonely, so they create games to mix time. What is much in prison? There are many rats. They catch rats, break their legs, or poke them out of the eye, and watch them limp and stumble around, looking for fun. I have seen two mice, one leg broken, the other blind, the lame mouse leading the way, the blind mouse biting its tail and following behind. They're a couple, I guess......"

I said, "It's sad." ”

He continued: "There was a prisoner, who turned out to be an official, had an affair with a second-rate star, and for her sake, he embezzled and took bribes, and as a result, he was arrested. After coming in, he had been doing well, but one day, he suddenly went crazy and got involved with another prisoner. Only later did everyone know that the other prisoner turned out to be a coal boss, and he was sentenced for gangsterism, and that day, the coal boss happened to talk about the second-rate star, and he said that it was one of his lovers. The official was furious because the other party had blasphemed his only spiritual support, so the two of them fought like children......"

I turned my head to look at him and smiled meaningfully, "Why are you talking about prisoners, but not prison guards?" ”

He was stunned and said, "Okay, I'll tell you about a very second colleague......

I said, "It's okay, it's still the story of the prisoner." Can you tell me another chapter? ”

He was stunned: "Who?" ”

I said, "That's the fugitive you said." ”

He laughed out loud: "Boss Zhou, your memory is really strong!" …… It's a pity to say that he and I are alumni and also studied at the Provincial Judicial School, but we were expelled later. ”

I said, "Who did he kill?" ”

Zhang Hui said: "His girlfriend's mother." The woman didn't agree with his daughter falling in love with him, he drank some wine and wanted to talk to the woman, but unexpectedly, the woman's words were too ugly, which stimulated him, and the two of them scuffled together, and he hit the woman's head against the heater and hung up. ”

I suddenly said, "Does your family know that you came to Lop Nur?" ”

He thought for a while and said, "They know that I came out for a tour, but they don't know that I came to Lop Nur, and I'm afraid they will be worried." ”

I said, "I think you should call your employer and your family to report that you are safe." ”

"My phone was in my backpack and I lost it," he said. It's okay, don't fight. ”

I looked at him again: "You lost your phone too?" ”

"When I get out of Lop Nur, I'll buy a new one," he said. ”

I took out my phone and handed it to him, "You can use mine." ”

He said, "Thanks, no." ”

I turned my face and stared at him aggressively, holding my phone all the time: "After entering Lop Nur, we lost contact with the outside world, maybe for many days, don't you think you should call them?" ”

He looked me in the eye, clearly pondering my intentions.

Finally, he took the phone.

I grabbed the steering wheel with both hands.

He hesitated and began dialing.

My eyes were focused on him.

He held up his phone and spoke: "...... Feed? ”

I tried to listen to the sound on my phone, the car was too bumpy and the engine was too loud to hear.

Zhang Hui: "Dad, I'm Zhang Hui!" ”

The other party seemed to ask rhetorically: "Are you Zhang Hui?" It was the voice of a man in his 50s.

Zhang Hui: "It's me, I'm in Xinjiang now!" ”

What the other party said vaguely was: "Why did you run so far?" ”

Zhang Hui: "I'm here to travel." Okay, I'm not going to tell you, I'll be back in about a week, and I won't call you in between, I'm all right! ”

What the other party vaguely said was: "That's good, that's good!" ……”

Zhang Hui: "Bye-bye!" ”

Then, he hung up the phone.

Then he looked at me, and I was looking straight ahead and driving quietly.

This confrontation told him that he had to make a phone call to the unit. It's not something he's willing to do or not.

He thought about it for a moment and consciously dialed another call.

I turned my face sideways and stared at his hand. I probably remember the number yesterday, and I think he should have dialed the number from McNan Prison.

"Hello? I'm Zhang Hui. ”

Zhang Hui turned his head out of the window, and I couldn't hear the sound inside at all.

"I'm in Xinjiang now and I'm entering Lop Nur."

I pricked up my ears, but I still couldn't hear clearly.

"It's my only wish, and I have to do it. Don't worry, I will definitely come back, and when the time comes, I will bring you Xinjiang jujubes...... I'm hanging, bye-bye. ”

Then, he hung up the phone and handed it to me.

I took it and put it in my pocket.

The juice has been silent, and it is estimated that she is asleep.

I replayed his call over and over in my head.

Saying he's a prison guard doesn't seem to be a problem.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said: Dad, I'm Zhang Hui!

The other party must be his father, if he calls a friend, then, the other party will be confused, and the two of them will not be able to talk so naturally.

Since the other party is his father, then, it is certain that he is called Zhang Hui.

He said that his family knew that he was traveling, but they didn't know that he had come to Lop Nur, so his father was surprised when he heard that he was in Xinjiang: How did you run so far?

Zhang Hui said that he had come here for a trip, and then, he quickly hung up the phone.

Then, he called the prison, saying that he was Zhang Hui, that he was entering Lop Nur, and promised to go back to bring Xinjiang jujube to his colleagues......

From another point of view, if he is a fugitive Zhang Hui, it is not impossible!

He called his father and said he was Zhang Hui.

After he escaped, the police must have been to his house, and of course his father knew that he had escaped, and he must have been surprised when he suddenly received a call from him: Are you Zhang Hui?

He said he was now in Xinjiang.

My father was even more surprised: "How did you run so far?"

There's a key word here – "run".

He said that he had traveled to Xinjiang and that everything was fine, and then he hurried to hang up the phone.

The father didn't know what to say for a while, but just repeated in a wooden manner: That's good, that's good! ……

Then, Zhang Hui made another phone call to McNan Prison.

He squatted in prison for 7 years, and if you ask him to dial to another unit, he will definitely not be able to think of a phone number. All he knew was the phone number of Mynan Prison.

He said he was a chapter back.

Zhang Hui's escape from prison is a big deal in Mainan Prison, and when he suddenly received a call from Zhang Hui, the officer on duty must have been shocked, he may have suppressed the fierce heartbeat while quietly asking: Where are you?

Zhang Hui said that he is now entering Lop Nur.

The other party may have said something like this: Zhang Hui, you have been in prison for 7 years, you should know the law, you must come back immediately, otherwise you will be guilty of crimes!

Zhang Hui said calmly that he must fulfill his wish, and then, he will go back......

If this person is really a fugitive Zhang Hui, he called his father in front of me, and called the prison where he escapedβ€”such a powerful psychological quality is already terrifying.

Outside the window, it was bare, and only clumps of black camel thorns could be seen.

This scene is no stranger to me, as I was a young man in the military and grazed sheep in the Gobi steppe of the Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia, where there are hard camel thorns everywhere except for the small grass that is half green and half yellow. I also know that in a certain season the camel thorns will bear fruit, red, small and round, dotted with dense turns, like agate.

Not far away, several sand date trees appeared.

I pulled the car to a slow stop.

There are no roads, no pullovers, no double flashes, just a few ruts behind it, and a distant horizon.

Zhang Hui said: "Boss Zhou, what's wrong?" ”

I said, "I pee." ”

Actually, I'm still not at ease, I'm going to dodge and redial the phone to check again.

If he is really a prison guard, I will completely dismantle the doubts in my heart and go on the road frankly.

If he is a fugitive Zhang Hui, I will stop the whole team and escort him back to Ruoqiang and hand him over to the police station.

He said, "I'll go with you." ”

I looked at him and said, "You go first." ”

He smiled: "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "Women like to be with them when they go to the toilet." ”

He said, "Then I'll go." It's been a long time. ”

Pulp got up from the back seat and asked, "Why did you stop?" ”

I said, "You go back to sleep." ”

Zhang Hui ran towards the sand date trees.

I quickly took out my phone, opened the call log, called up the number he had called my father, and reddialed it.

After waiting for a long time, there were three "Di Di Di", and then it was quiet.

I looked at my phone and felt nervous - it happened that when I arrived at this place, my phone had no signal.
