Chapter 36: Inextricably linked
The old prostitute advised me not to think about anything, since I have decided, don't think so much, identify a direction, let it go, no matter what the result is, don't hesitate, that will only lead to contradictions in myself.
I understand what the old prostitute meant, and I understand the meaning of these words. In fact, the elder brother has also said these things to me many times, he always reminded me that if a man wants to do great things, he must not look left and right, and understand that when to give up something, he must give up something, and must not have feelings for what he gives up, which will not only make you lose your way and fall into a passive situation.
The elder brother said that this kind of renunciation is the law of survival. Although he told me countless times, each time I would use various excuses or reasons to denigrate this law of existence. Maybe I haven't really experienced it before, so I always thought that I wouldn't be in this situation.
Unexpectedly, today I really came across. And when encountering such a strict situation, it is the precious lives of others that are sacrificed. For the first time, I felt how painful it would be to make a decision, and to feel guilty no matter which side I gave up.
My wife and I rested for the night at the health post in Luckkumu Village, and the next day we got up early and rushed to Lop Nur.
On the last night of my stay at the health station, I left 10,000 yuan for Tunisha, and when I gave it to her, she refused to accept it, and I said that it was to pay for the medical expenses of the old prostitute, and she was willing to accept 240 yuan. In the end, I had no choice but to leave the rest of the money in the house where I lived with my old wife, and only after we left, did I send a text message to tell her that the 10,000 yuan was in the house.
Tunisha also sent me a text message back, saying that she couldn't ask for the money, and that it was her job to save the old prostitute, and she couldn't repay the favor. If I had to keep the money, she would donate it in my name to the village primary school.
I finally gave her a reply, agreeing. When I texted, my wife and I were already in the car. We chartered a Jetta private car from Tatijang Township and rushed to Lop Nur Township.
The old prostitute is not bad, at least her complexion is much better, but her body still seems a little insufficient. This guy is still the same old boy, and he can't talk without a hippie smile. Along the way, he either teased me a few words, or teased the owner a few words, and there were always endless words.
When I texted, this guy insisted on looking, snatched my phone, and just flipped it around.
After reading the content of the text message, he also said that I was slamming the door and I had less money to spare. Said that the little money I left was not enough to even build a toilet for the school, and I was embarrassed to take it out and donate it to the primary school, giving me a humiliation of splitting my head and covering my face, and finally forced me to promise him that after saving the little wolf and them this time, I would send some money to the past, let me donate more, and it was best to donate a hope to the primary school.
I was really defeated by the old prostitute, he really didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were. He thinks that I am the same as him, earning one cent and spending three points, but he is at ease, standing and talking without back pain, and his feelings do not cost him money. It's not that I don't want to donate, it's just that I was forced by him to take the money, and I was still a little disgusted, so I was a little reluctant.
"You, if you want to donate yourself, don't let me pay as soon as it comes to spending money, there is a company behind me waiting to eat. Besides, people saved your life, not mine. ”
"Xiao Qi, it's also for your good that I ask you to donate more, in our business, few of them have a good end, they are all superficial. If you don't take advantage of your youth to accumulate virtue and do good, and when you are old, you will learn from those old guys to scatter wealth, then it will be too late. Seeing that I didn't say anything, the old prostitute quickly patted me, and then said, "What do you think of the girl at the health station?" People are not only beautiful, but also have noble inner qualities, she is definitely a good girl, I think you two are quite suitable, you should find someone like this who doesn't want anything for a lifetime. ”
"How do you know that people don't want anything, and you're not a roundworm in someone's belly."
"My day, when will I miss someone, just with these few text messages, this person is not bad, look at the quality of others, if this is an ordinary little girl, she has long been happy with money, how can she have the leisure to send you text messages, and think beautifully. Besides, haven't people already sued you for nothing? ”
After the old prostitute said this, I was stunned at the time, and said in my heart, I haven't fucking talked to other girls alone. immediately questioned the old prostitute: "You girl, don't talk nonsense, when did she sue me, why don't I know?" ”
"You're still too young, you can tell the names of people very clearly. Tu Nisha, isn't the homonym, what are you trying to do, people don't want you, it's not easy to find such a girl, if you don't start, someone else will do it. After speaking, the old prostitute smiled.
"You'd better save some strength and take care of yourself, don't worry about nothing all day." After I finished speaking, I stopped paying attention to the old prostitute.
Along the way, the old prostitute was not idle, and kept talking about Lop Nur Town.
When we arrived in Lop Nur town, it was already 1 p.m. It is the largest town in Xinjiang, but it is only the largest in area and has a small population, but there are hotels and inns.
We stayed in a guesthouse, booked rooms for the guys who were going to arrive tomorrow, and then took a taxi to Ruoqiang County. At a car rental company in Ruoqiang County, we rented a few desert buggies for desert photography and rushed back to Lop Nur town.
The car was delivered by someone from the rental company, and we were told about the special features of the car. Each car is equipped with Eye of the Desert, a super satellite positioning system that can be accurate to within 100 meters. No matter where you are in the desert, Eye of the Desert captures vehicle information. Once the vehicle is in distress or lost in the desert, it can operate this system to send a distress message, and then the nearest armed police officers and soldiers will go to the rescue.
Seems like a good system, but I don't think we should use it, after all, we are going to be where we are going and we don't want other people to know.
The person who sent the car also reminded me that there might be a small wind and sand in a few days, so I asked me to pay more attention to the weather forecast, and it is best not to enter the desert when encountering small wind and sand.
When I sent the people who sent the car away, it was already dark, and my wife and I had something to eat in the hotel and chatted for a while. I told the old prostitute about the small wind and sand that the person who sent the car, after all, I don't know if the small wind and sand in the desert is dangerous, so it is better to communicate with him.
The old prostitute said that it should not be a big deal to hear the name of the small wind and sand, but since people have reminded us, we have to pay attention to it, as long as the people arrive tomorrow, they will set off immediately, it is best to avoid encountering small wind and sand, if not, we have to stand up. After all, it is not certain how long the little wolf can last in it, and if it goes down a day later, it will be more risky, so whether it is a storm or a knife, we have to stand up into the desert.
I agreed with the old prostitute, and after a brief discussion, we went back to our rooms to rest. Originally, the old prostitute wanted to talk to me, but I refused, after all, he still needs to rest to recover, and I don't bother to chat with him now.
After returning to the room, he lay on the bed alone, unable to sleep for a long time, and his mind was full of the old prostitute's story. I don't know if it's because I'm overthinking it, or if it's just the way it is.
I have a very strong feeling that this place is inextricably linked with the Murong family.
The old prostitute here not only saw the five robbing locks and the beast head lock, but also saw the snakes that the little wolf caught when he was a child, and saw the jade box containing the monster with his own eyes, although the old prostitute did not see the monster inside, but Xiao Yu's death, he suspected that it was that thing.
These are all things we have experienced in the Golden Triangle, before I heard the old prostitute say, I always thought that the beast head lock was unique to the Murong family, and now it seems that it is not necessarily unique to the Murong family.
Although I am not sure how close the relationship between this place and the Murong family is, one thing is certain, that is, their defense methods are exactly the same, whether it is the Fifth Degree Robbery Lock and the Beast Head Lock, or the kind of snake that can make people hallucinate, they all play the role of preventing outsiders from entering.
There is also a very important factor, and that is technology, the technology of testing. Both places know how to use the white sand to do that kind of experiment. I just don't know, who learns this technique from whom? Whether the Murong family learned the techniques here, or the Murong family's techniques here, there is no way to verify this for the time being, and only after going down and finding something that can be used to measure the number of years of history, will we know who is older.
Of course, if I were to speculate, I would prefer the technology here first, which means that the Murong family started experimenting after learning the technology here. After all, the predecessor of the Murong family was Faqiumen, and Faqiumen was a sect that made a living by robbing tombs, so it was impossible to be proficient in this kind of experimental technique.
The only most reasonable explanation is that 1,800 years ago, or earlier, the Murong family discovered this technology here, and then began to specialize in this technology, so they established a test base in the Golden Triangle and began to conduct secret experiments for hundreds of years.
I don't know if I was too involved in it, or if I had too many contacts, I actually linked the destruction of the Murong family in ancient times with this experiment. But it seems reasonable, and the more I think about it, the more I think so. Perhaps it was precisely because the Murong family discovered this place that they were tragically destroyed, and since then, the Faqiu Gate has been transformed and controlled by the Tiger Regiment.
But when I think about it, it seems a little wrong, if things are going according to my thoughts, what kind of role should the Tigers be? What role should my master be? And what kind of role is the senior brother in now?
I had a headache when I thought about it, and then I simply stopped thinking about it.
The heart said, I'm going to go down soon, anyway, maybe what I want to know is down there. As soon as everyone arrives tomorrow, I can lift the veil myself.
