"What's in there?" The leader also asked anxiously.

"It's something very disgusting, something very scary."

The leader thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that it's a human head?" ”

"More than that...... How to say it, it's even more shocking, because what is boiling in that pot is a young skeleton......" Zhang Xiangyang said this, lying on the table like a puddle of mud.

The leader was also shocked, and he wanted to ask something more, but Zhang Xiangyang was probably drunk and unconscious. He vomited on the table for a long time, and finally couldn't even clean himself up, and the leader had to personally hold him and drive him home.

Zhang Xiangyang rented a small house alone, the house faced north, and when he stood at the door, he smelled a musty smell, and even the locks outside seemed to be rusty. The leader wanted to wake up Zhang Xiangyang, but he was already so drunk that Shangong was upside down, and he was indifferent no matter how he called.

The leader had no choice but to take out a bunch of keys from his pocket and tried several times before opening the lock.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I felt a cold breeze blowing on my face. The house was dark and damp, slimy to the touch, and full of rat women and tide insects crawling around, it was simply not a suitable place for human life.

The leader put Zhang Xiangyang on the cold bed. When he first entered the door, he touched the door frame, accidentally pinched a worm to death, and looked at the green insect liquid in his palm, and he suddenly felt sick in his stomach. He found the bathroom in the house, then turned on the light, and wanted to wash his hands before leaving.

He turned on the faucet, took a bar of soap, washed the insect stains off his hands, and then turned off the faucet. As he was about to leave, he accidentally glanced at the mirror hanging above the basin.

"Ahh The leader screamed.

For in that mirror there was a face, which was both his own face and not his own!

Compared to himself, the face in the mirror was as white as paper, his eyes were white, his lips were purple, and his Yin Tang was black—it was the kind of strange face that made people tremble at the first glance!

The leader screamed again, and he rushed out of the bathroom in a hurry, then opened the door and rushed out.

……

This is the information that Captain Garlic learned about Zhang Xiangyang, and later he wanted to continue to touch Zhang Xiangyang's details through his relatives. But this time it was not Zhang Xiangyang who rejected him, but that relative.

"You let me live a few more years, I won't be able to make it!" Relatives pleaded with Captain Garlic.

Captain Garlic had no choice but to give up further tracking of Zhang Xiangyang's line. And Zhang Xiangyang also continued to live his life, he went out late and returned early, and he didn't go out on weekends, as if he was guarding something at home.

After Captain Garlic finished talking about Zhang Xiangyang, he paused and said: "Later, I inquired about many people, and some said that he had raised a ghost in this situation, so he could neither get married nor go out. ”

"Huh? Gremlin? Hua Hu almost stood up excitedly, "Where is there such a strange thing, I want to catch one and play with it!" ”

I dragged her back to where she was.

Captain Garlic looked at Hua Fei, and his face changed. My heart trembled, and I was just about to find an explanation, when I heard him laugh.

"There is a poem called 'Today's long tassel in hand, when will the dragon be bound', I think Mr. Shen has this courage! The amount of food is good, and the courage is bold! ”

Hua Hu had never been praised like this, hehehea smirked.

It seems that although Hua Hu occasionally has nerves, it will not attract the suspicion of others, because in this society and this era, there are not too many people who have nerves.

"The next thing I want to talk to the two of you is about the Yarkand Ranch."

"Yarkand pasture? Is it the place where the archaeological team found the suspected Wen Mushan couple after they disappeared? ”

"Yes, the place name Yecheng is actually the abbreviation of Yarkand City. The Yarkand River, the source of the Tarim River and the river of life of the Taklamakan River, originates in the Karakoram Mountains and then cross-cuts across the Kunlun Mountains to form a narrow valley before flowing to Yecheng.

Therefore, if you want to go west from Yecheng to Tashkurgan County, you must go north around Kashgar to take the main road, and you must go west along the river valley to take the shortcut.

"But the terrain of the Yarkand River valley is complicated, and if you take a shortcut, you can only cross it on foot, but the hike takes a long time, and it is not so easy to cross the Kunlun Mountains.

"Therefore, it takes several times longer to walk through Kunlun than the northern bypass route, so this so-called shortcut is only a theoretical shortcut, and it is rarely visited except for herdsmen."

"But if Wen Mushan really killed people and escaped, he might choose this path. Because there are no checkpoints and no villages along the way, it is very easy to hide from people's eyes. I said.

Captain Garlic nodded.

"So, when the herdsman from the riverside ranch provided clues that two men, one tall and one short, we reacted first to judge that they were Wen Mushan and his wife in disguise.

"Because Wen Mushan and his wife want to sneak across the border, then go west along the Yarkand River valley, reach the border of Tashkurgan County, and then continue westward for a short time to become the border between China and Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

"However, at that time, the border guards were limited, and only the Khunjerab port was guarded by garrisons, so any small mountain pass from this border could be crossed with swagger.

"In fact, the first villagers of Kalaya Tur to flee to the Soviet Union were the ......ones who went out of the country along this road, across the Sarykole Ridge, and from the Kolemai Pass on the border of what is now China and Tajikistan."

Before Captain Garlic finished speaking, I became excited.

"What? Sarykole Ridge? Kolemai Pass? ”

"My boy!" Hua Yu also sighed in an unknown dialect, "Shen Yu is right, it is really a hair that moves the whole body, a Western Night Country, and everything is strung together!" ”

"Teacher Shen, why do you call yourself by your name......" Captain Garlic was inexplicable again.

"Oh haha, I'm used to Lao Wang selling melons and boasting about himself." Hua Fei pretended to be embarrassed, grabbed his curly hair and smiled.

"She's insane." I continued to make up for it.

Captain Garlic didn't dig any further, let alone ask me why I was so sensitive to Sarekole, he was still immersed in the atmosphere of self-telling.

In short, the reason why the Wen couple was convicted of murder and treasure and treason was that the clues provided by the herdsman were one of the important evidences. However, when I visited him later, I found something completely different......"

"What's that? Could it be that the herders are committing perjury? ”

"No, the herdsman wasn't lying, but he wasn't telling it completely. The people who went to the ranch to beg for food and drink were indeed two people, one fat and one thin. But the herdsman didn't tell him everything, and when I found him, he told me that the two were eating at the ranch and said something – 'don't eat it all, leave some meat and bring it to them.' ”
