Chapter 13: The Call of Death

Hearing that the woman on the phone kept talking about the old prostitute, I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked her: "Do you know the old prostitute?" Did the old prostitute ask you to call? ”

She seemed to understand what I was saying, and she muttered a lot of things, but I still couldn't understand what she was saying. In the end, it was the company's employee who reminded me that I couldn't understand what I was saying, so I asked her to text me.

As soon as I thought about it, since I couldn't understand what I was saying, I might as well change the way of communication, so I said to the woman on my phone: "If you know Chinese characters, hang up the phone and text me." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, and seemed to be able to understand me.

I went back to the office, sat on the couch, looked at my phone and waited for a text message. Less than a minute later, I received a text message, and I immediately unlocked the screen, thinking, I can't understand what I can say, and texting is fast enough. Who would have wanted to open the text message and see, Nima, it turned out to be 10086 engaged in some kind of reading activity, saying that there was a book called "Coffin Mountain Night Walking" was engaged in activities, which made me so angry that I deleted the text message directly after looking at it twice.

After another ten minutes, another text message came, I opened it and saw that it was from the Xinjiang number, and the content of the text message was:

Hello, it was a comrade named Lao Pu who asked me to call you.

Here's the thing, at noon today, a villager found him by the Cherchen River, and took him to the village health station, he was confused, and kept repeating this phone call in his mouth, saying that it was very important, and he must let me call you, and then said a few words, my day, he fainted after speaking, and he has not woken up until now.

If you are a friend or relative of his, then you had better come over, our specific location here is, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Qimo County, Tatirang Township, if you come by car, after arriving at Tatirang Township, and then take a car from there to the health station of Lekkumu Village. If you can't find a car in the township, you can call me this number, my name is Tunisa.

Looking at this text message, which said, "My day, I think this sentence should come from the mouth of an old prostitute." Although the old prostitute pronounced the word "prostitute" wrongly, it may just be a misunderstanding, and it is very likely that she understood the word prostitute as the surname of Pu.

Sitting on the sofa, I was thinking, which one of the old prostitutes is playing, how did she go to Xinjiang, didn't she talk about helping the little wolf in Thailand, how could it appear in Xinjiang?

For a while, I had doubts, a little half-convinced, maybe there were too many things going on this time, so I had to be more vigilant.

I used my computer to check the address in the text message, and there was indeed such a place, but I couldn't find the phone number of the health station, only the phone number of the village committee of Lekkumu Village.

I wrote down the address and the phone number of the village committee, and quickly ran out of the company and drove to a restaurant where I often eat mutton skewers. I know the owner here, a native of Xinjiang.

When I got to his shop, I went straight to him and explained what I was here for. I want him to help me call the village committee of Luckkumu village, and ask him to help me ask if there is a villager who saved someone by the Cherchen River, and if so, then ask him to help me ask again, where is that person now?

Although I only knew this Xinjiang boss and were not friends, this person was very happy and immediately agreed.

Following the number I gave, he dialed and got in touch. It took more than 5 minutes to hang up after the phone call, and he told me what he had said to me in Mandarin. The specific content is similar to what I received in the text message, there is indeed a person who was rescued by the villagers and is now at the health station.

Now that I knew that it was true, I didn't dare to delay any longer, returned to the company and arranged all the work, and checked the traffic strategy on the Internet. I didn't expect that there was an airport in Jimo County, but there was only one flight a day, which was from Urumqi to Jimo. I asked someone to book a ticket to Urumqi in Shijiazhuang, and then booked a ticket online from Urumqi to Jima, and then drove to Shijiazhuang.

The plane will take off tomorrow at 10:20 a.m. and arrive in Urumqi around 14:40 p.m. In other words, I was able to rest at home in Shijiazhuang for one night. In fact, I didn't sleep well this night, I kept thinking about the old prostitute, and I couldn't figure out what this guy was doing in Xinjiang.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, as soon as the bank opened, I went to withdraw 50,000 yuan in cash to carry with me, after all, I didn't know about Jimo County, and when I thought of the village in the township, I wanted to bring more cash. I think there will definitely be no credit card in that place, in case the old prostitute has a major illness or a small disaster, it may not be how much it will cost, so it is safer to bring more cash.

To make a long story short, I stayed in Urumqi for one night, didn't catch a flight to Jimo that day, and only flew to Jimo the next day. As soon as I got off the plane, I took a taxi and gave him the address where I was going. But the taxi driver only promised to send me to Tatijang Township, saying that he would not go to the village, the road was not easy to walk, and he was afraid of wearing out the car.

I almost asked the taxi at the airport, but I couldn't say anything, from 150 yuan to 1,000 yuan, and those drivers didn't do it. In the end, there was really no choice but to listen to their arrangements and take one step at a time.

When I got to Tatijang Township, I found a small tricycle. Sitting on this small tricycle, I realized that all around me were endless deserts, and I walked for nearly two hours before I arrived at the health station in Luckkumu Village.

When I got off the small tricycle, I couldn't believe it, there was a three-room house made of earth in front of me, the surrounding walls were also made of earth, and there was a long white sign hanging next to the wooden gate, which read, "Tekkumu Village Health Station, Tatirang Township".

The wooden door was open, and I didn't ask if anyone walked in. After entering, I happened to see a Uyghur girl in a white coat washing clothes, and she happened to see me and said something to me, but I didn't understand what she was talking about, so I quickly told her about my intentions.

She led me to the mud house on the left, and talked as she went, and I understood the three words of the last sentence, as if she was telling me that she was Tunisha.

I walked into the house and saw that the old prostitute was lying on the kang with a quilt on her body. His face was slightly pale, and his lips were chapped and he seemed to be very weak.

I was very excited to see the old prostitute, and I quickly pushed him twice with my hand, and shouted: "Old prostitute, old prostitute, I'm here." ”

After calling the old prostitute twice, I was stopped by Tunisa. As she spoke, she gestured with her hand, meaning that the old prostitute was still asleep.

I asked Tunisha, what's the matter with the old prostitute? Whether I fell asleep all the time, or woke up before I came. After listening to what I said, Tunisha just said something that I could barely understand, said, "Wait," and ran out.

I don't know what she was doing, but I think since she asked me to wait, she must have gone to get something, maybe to get something from the old prostitute.

Sitting on the edge of the kang and looking at the old prostitute, he seemed to be sleeping, and I couldn't help but ask him, "Old prostitute, what's wrong with you?" How did it come to this, how did you come to this kind of place? ”

After more than twenty minutes, Tunisha returned, taking two Uyghur men with her.

Tunisa said something to me and a man she had brought back, and then the man said to me, "Hello, I was called by Tunisa to translate for you, my name is Durexiti. ”

As soon as I saw this person talking to me, I quickly asked, "Do you speak Mandarin?" ”

"I have worked in Gansu for several years and know Mandarin." Durexiti said.

It doesn't sound like standard Mandarin, but at least I can understand what he says.

"Then please help me ask Tunisha, what's wrong with my friend? Yan zhòng is not strict zhòng, do you want to send him to a big hospital? ”

After I finished speaking, Duresiti spoke their language to Tunisa, and Tunisa said something to him, and then he said to me: "Your friend's condition is not very strict, he is only caused by a long period of dehydration and excessive fatigue, Tunisa has been giving him a nutrient solution for the past few days, and it is estimated that he will recover in a day or two." ”

I was relieved to hear him say that the old prostitute was not strict and that he would be able to recover in two days, and then asked, "Where did you find my friend, and did he say when he was sober, what is he doing here?" ”

After a brief exchange with Tunisa and another man, Durexit pointed to the other man and said, "His friend was found by the Chelchen River. He said that when your friend was sober, he asked you where your friend was from, but your friend was speechless at the time, just pointed to the desert. The direction he pointed to was the Taklamakan Desert. ”

After learning more about the situation with them, I gave them 5,000 yuan to express my gratitude to them for saving the old prostitute. But they refused to accept my money alive or dead, saying that this was to learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds, and did not want to reciprocate. In the end, I really couldn't help it, and bowed deeply to them.

At night, I lived in the same room with the old prostitute, and when I couldn't sleep, I was thinking, why did the old prostitute go into the Taklamakan Desert?

I didn't know much about this desert, so I took out my phone and looked at the signal, and it was full. Immediately checked the Taklamakan Desert with a mobile phone.

Located in the center of the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang, the Taklamakan Desert is the largest desert in China, the tenth largest desert in the world, and the second largest mobile desert in the world. The entire desert is about 1,000 kilometers long from east to west and 400 kilometers wide from north to south, covering an area of 330,000 square kilometers. Here, pyramid-shaped sand dunes rise 300 meters above the plain. Strong winds can blow up walls of sand up to 3 times as high. The desert is full of sand dunes that move frequently due to the wind.

When I saw this, I felt that the danger of this desert was much more powerful than I thought, and I also said that this is the second largest mobile desert in the world, and the sand dunes are constantly moving due to the influence of the wind. I think it's scary, not to mention that the dunes will move from time to time, which is even more terrifying.

I thought, what is the old prostitute doing here? Such a dangerous place is not here to play, is this guy here to fight?

Thinking of this, I chuckled in my heart, as if I had realized something, and my whole scalp instantly tingled, and a very bad premonition told me that something was wrong, something was wrong.
