Seventy-three, Erenhot
"Is this your dad?"
"Could it be your dad?"
"Then our dad is a little young, huh?"
I glanced at him: "Roll the calf, my dad left home in 08, and this is a photo of 15 years, which shows that he has been doing well in the past few years." But why did the things in that mobile phone video look like that sickly? ”
Men Yuebin spread his hands: "The mobile phone has been with Hu Yinman's girl, I have never seen it." But what are you going to do? ”
"You can take me over to have a look, I want to find the person who took the picture in the first place and find out about the situation."
"Where to go? Erenhot? ”
"Let's go, I'll get the ticket, you should go to meet a friend, eat and live with me." I said in a pleading tone, "Next time, I will find out about any big tomb here, I will definitely take you there, you know, I am investigating my father's affairs now, I have to follow Hu Yinman and them for everything, and one day I can still turn a place like the tomb of the Marquis of Haidu." ”
Menyue Bin waved his hand and said to me: "It's not this, it's just that there is a question that you have thought about, since your father can go to the Sino-Mongolian border with the Japanese, and he can also take a photo in the newspaper, it means that he is in a state of real-time connection to the outside world." But since this is the case, why doesn't he report peace to his family? ”
I was silent, in fact, I also thought about this question, doesn't my father want to contact the family? What the hell was he looking for alone? But it's useless for us to think too much here, I'll have to find the guy who took the picture of my dad and get some information from him about that expedition.
Either don't do it, or don't bother, the next day, I determined the itinerary of Erenhot.
Because I have never been to that area, I took a route on Baidu, and Baidu told me that there is no direct flight to Erenhot, so we can only fly to Baita Airport in Hohhot first, and then transfer to Saiwusu International Airport. It's not a long journey, it's not too short, it's ······· To be honest, I'm a person who hasn't seen a lot of money, and suddenly looked at the 4,000 yuan ticket in my hand, a little painful, I ran to other places in my life, and I didn't spend more than 4,000 to buy a ticket at one time, but there is no way, if you don't bring it to the door, Yuebin, when you get there, it's not like a headless fly, think about it, and book a flight the next day.
Men Yuebin also said that it will be a bit rushed to leave tomorrow? We don't prepare something?
Damn, I know what this guy is thinking, I said that this time I didn't go to rob the tomb, that is, to inquire about something in the past, you have consigned large bags and small bags in the past, is it possible to dig coal?
The door is more binding, and then he patted his head and shouted, but it's also oh! Fang Cai nodded cooperatively. I looked at him pretending to be stupid, and I couldn't help but sweat in my heart, wondering if this guy had been poor and crazy lately, and his hands were itching again?
After he solved it here, I kicked him out of the door, and immediately began to prepare to discuss with the few immortals at home, because of the last Sichuan incident, my mother once limited my itinerary to death, and even the county did not let me out, no way I could only have a meal with my mother and a few uncles that day, and I said in a good voice during the meal, just to go over and relax, will not do anything out of the ordinary, this is not the time to raise legs at home are suffocated? You three can rest assured, maybe I will bring a daughter-in-law back this time?
My mother looked at my sincere eyes, and finally moved, sighed and said: "I can bring a girlfriend back, I am satisfied, you kid is good at everything, you just don't take yourself seriously, how old are you and ·······." "The worries of my parents are always endless, and several elders have been verbose for a long time before letting me go.
So the next day, Menyue Bin found a friend, drove us to Changbei Airport, got on the plane, flew for three hours on the road, I lay down in the cabin and fell asleep, and stayed in Hohhot for 2 hours on the way, and then flew directly to Erenhot.
It departs at 11:30 in the morning and arrives at 17:30 in the afternoon, which is not too far.
Erenhot belongs to the climate of the desertified area, the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large, the summer is dry and hot, the winter is cold, and the lowest can reach minus 30 degrees. On the autumn evening, there was still a coolness, so we wrapped up our clothes tightly, and when we arrived at the parking lot, Yue Bin's friend greeted us.
His friend is also in his early 30s, his name is Zhou Xin, his father is a nouveau riche, because he is the old man at home, he also calls him the third master outside, he relies on the money in the family anyway, and now he belongs to the kind of person who wants to support the elderly in the library. I have been in contact with him for a while on the road, and as far as I can see, it is much more reliable than that old man, Zhuo De. Because he was very enthusiastic, he drove us along the way and took us through the streets and alleys, saying: "Erenhot" is Mongolian, and "Erlian" is named after the nearby Erennaoer, which is the pronunciation of "Erren", which means "colorful", "hot" means "city", and "Erenhot" means colorful city. ”
"Colorful fart, there's nothing around here, just say, is there any activity tonight."
"You know the, this is the airport, and it's 27 kilometers from the city!"
At about 6 o'clock, the sky gradually darkened, and this city, known as a colorful city, gradually faded from the coat of steel, revealing a world of busy traffic and bright lights.
Zhou Xin leaned against the car window and said with a smile: "Look, the city is awake." ”
After a while, the car drove to the city hotel, Zhou Xin found us an international hotel, said that this location is good, the face is the Erlian Railway Station, behind is Xinhua Street and Golden Leaf Times Square, on the left hand side is the bus station, you can go anywhere you want to play.
I said goodbye, I can't play with what you guys play, but it's good to be close to Xinhua Street, isn't that Erenhot daily newspaper on that street?
Zhou Xin nodded and said, "It's over there in the Olympic Cultural Park, I'll take you over tomorrow, why don't you go eat something first?" ”
After simply putting the luggage, we followed the third master all the way.
Along the way, Zhou Xin said: "When you come to us here, you first have to eat a roast whole sheep, which is the honor of our Mongolian meal." According to historical records, it is a famous dish of Genghis Khan's favorite court, and it is also an indispensable delicacy in the imperial banquet of the Yuan Dynasty. ”
"Ha, you kid is still a little bit culture, it seems that your dad is the right choice to throw you in the library!" Menkoshi expertly pulled out a pack of cigarettes from the car.
"Do you want it? Mongolian smoke, you can try it! ”
I waved my hand, forget it!
After eating something with them in the evening, I went back to the hotel by myself, and Men Yuebin followed Zhou Xin out to hi.
At noon the next day, Zhou Xin came again, took us to eat some Mongolian pot tea in the surrounding area, and rushed to the newspaper office.
Zhou Xin said to us on the road, they have all been contacted over there, and when the time comes, you can tell them what information you want to check.
At half past two in the afternoon, we arrived at the newspaper office, and under the guidance of Zhou Xin, we found the person in charge of publishing the newspaper in previous years, and he read the copy of the 15-year-old issue of the newspaper that we brought over, and roughly recalled, saying that it was indeed taken by an editor on their side, but the editor has now left, and his photo has to be found in the gallery of the company's computer switchboard. Just take your time.
I thought it was just right, so I asked him for the contact number of the original editor, and planned to meet him for an appointment, after all, I didn't come here just to see the original picture, I had to find the person who took the picture.
Then I told the editor on the phone what I was trying to do, and I simply wanted to know some of the background of the original expedition and the information of some of the people in it. After all, I had to find my dad through those people.
At first, I prepared a lot of rhetoric, but I didn't expect the man to quickly agree to meet, considering that it was close to his company, we made an appointment to meet at the Jungjou Spring Square. Soon after, the man came to them with a satchel and a small electric donkey, and as soon as he saw me, he came up to me and took my hand and said, "It's the family of the expedition, right?" Hello, hello. I knew that someday someone would find me. ”
I was stunned, why is this guy still anti-guest and confused?
