Chapter 12: The Turks

This old lady was short in stature, wearing a very old black cotton jacket, her face was full of deep wrinkles, and her gray hair covered her eyes like beans...... The main thing is that she is too old, and she is intimidatingly old.

Seeing this, the black man immediately stepped forward, pulled the old lady and said, "Mother, why did you run out?" ”

The old lady did not answer, but looked at us coldly, and then turned her gaze to the man with the cap in the corner.

The black man said again: "Go back quickly, don't scare the guests." ”

Ali answered, "Is this your mother?" ”

The black man smiled and said, "I'm sorry, my mother is sick, sometimes sober and sometimes crazy, I'm afraid of causing you trouble." ”

Ali said: "If it's not in the way, everyone has old people." ”

The black man nodded gratefully and said, "Bosses, what do you want, I have food and wine here?" ”

Ali looked back at me.

I thought for a moment and said, "We're not hungry, we're tired, you'd better get two side dishes and have some wine." ”

The black man clapped his hands: "I'll weigh it." He first settled the old lady down at a table, and then walked briskly towards the inner hall......

At this moment, the cap in the corner suddenly said, "Bring me another bowl of noodles." ”

The black man was stunned for a moment and said, "Have you eaten three bowls?" ”

The cap said, "I have money." ”

"Okay......" The black man nodded hurriedly.

The four of us found a table and sat down, and neither of us spoke.

The cap ate the rest of his bowl of noodles by himself, and he ate in a hurry, making all kinds of strange noises, as if he had been hungry for a long time.

Not only did we stare at the cap, but the old lady was also looking.

I looked closely at the old lady and found that she was shivering?

Atsuko whispered, "Something is not right! ”

I asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Atsuko pointed to the cap and said, "He...... I'm shaking too. ”

I was startled and went to look at the cap again, only to find that this person was shaking violently while eating noodles. I don't know why, I always think he shakes strangely, but I can't tell what is strange?

The actor patted the table lightly and said to us quietly: "Why do I think that this old lady and this strange person are shaking rhythmically?" ”

Atsuko slammed the table: "Damn, really." ”

I was still confused, I had a feeling that I was itching all over my body but I didn't know where to scratch it, and I was very uncomfortable.

At this moment, the curtain of the inner hall door was lifted, and the black man walked out with a dinner plate.

At the same time, the shaking of the old lady and the cap came to an abrupt end.

Atsuko said thoughtlessly: "Oops, it's a card? ”

The black man walked over and placed the two dishes on the table...... It's a plate of scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, plus a plate of stir-fried celery with pork. Although the dish is very simple, it is rare to be able to eat green vegetables in the desert.

Atsuko said, "What kind of wine do you have here?" ”

The black man said, "There are white beers." ”

Atsuko Daxi: "Damn, beer in the desert is a luxury, it hasn't expired, how much is a bottle?" ”

The black man said: "Just a few days after it arrived, ten yuan a bottle." ”

Atsuko gave a thumbs up: "Conscientious merchant, the price is reasonable, give you a thumbs up." ”

The black man smiled and went to fetch us a dozen beers.

This is a local wine in Inner Mongolia and it is very cheap. However, it is indeed too rare to sell a bottle for ten yuan in this place.

We each opened a bottle of wine and drank it slowly.

We're waiting, waiting for that cap to turn around......

During this period, the black man went to the back hall again and made the so-called fourth bowl of noodles for the cap. And during the time he was away, the old lady and the cap shook for a while.

Atsuko took a sip of wine and said with his head bowed: "I have a hunch, don't you think that the shaking of these two people is like an exchange?" ”

The actor smiled and said, "I can also see that they are like two rattlesnakes, but they lack a sound." ”

Atsuko said, "It's a lot more than a Morse code cow." ”

The drama said, "You know this language? ”

Atsuko thought for a while and said, "Maybe the old lady is afraid that the kid won't give him money, so she has been warning him." ”

Ali made a gesture of silence and then pointed to the cap.

We immediately looked over and saw that the cap seemed to have been eaten, and he threw his bag on his back and turned around sharply.

I was mentally prepared, but I was still shocked, this person is so ugly!

The face under his hat was black and skinny. The eyes are protruding, the nose is small, the mouth is surprisingly large, and the lips are full of cracks, so that people can see at a glance that this person has lived outdoors for a long time.

The cap didn't even look at us, strode up to the black man, and asked coldly, "How much?" ”

The black man said weakly: "Eight...... Eighty. ”

The cap turned out a hundred-dollar one on his body, handed it over and said, "Look for money." ”

The black man hurriedly found twenty yuan for him.

The cap took the change, turned around and walked out......

Atsuko probably couldn't hold back, and suddenly said loudly: "Dude, where are you going on this big night?" It's windy outside, and there's a wolf. ”

The cap didn't answer and continued to walk out.

At this moment, the old lady suddenly spoke. She said in an extremely hoarse voice, "What's so good about drilling down there?" ”

The cap suddenly shook his whole body, paused for a moment, and said, "Don't be nosy." ”

The old lady said, "It's human...... It's not human. ”

The cap turned sharply and glared at the old lady fiercely.

The black man immediately stopped in front of the old lady and said, "Don't mind, my mother is sick and always talks nonsense." ”

The cap looked at us, intentionally or not, and turned and went out the door.

We looked at each other, completely unsure.

Atsuko couldn't hold it back, and suddenly said to the old lady: "Auntie, have you eaten too much?" ”

The old lady turned her gaze at us sharply and said coldly, "Be careful. ”

Atsuko said, "Auntie, how old are you?" ”

The old lady suddenly seemed to be enchanted, her hands were raised high, and she raised her head and shouted loudly: "Tu people, Tu people, I have lost my soul under the sand......

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" The black man covered the old lady's mouth and dragged her into the back hall......

Atsuko muttered to herself, "Natives? There are savages here in Teniang? ”

The drama said: "It should be a native of the Tu tribe." ”

I asked the actor, "You know?" ”

The actor shook his head: "I've never heard of it, but this old lady must know." ”

Atsuko said, "Well, there must be something wrong with the guy with the hat. ”

Ali said, "Ask the shopkeeper." ”

I nodded and asked Ali to open the rest of the beer, and a few people drank it slowly......

After about twenty minutes, the black man walked out with a sigh.

I beckoned him over and said, "Big brother, sit down and talk for a while?" ”

The black man said: "I'm a big old man and can't talk." ”

I thought about it for a moment and said to Ali, "Give him a thousand dollars." ”

Ali quickly took out her bag, ordered the money and handed it over.

The black man took the money and said tremblingly, "What...... What does it mean? ”

I smiled and beckoned him to sit down, saying, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask, what do you mean by what the old lady said just now?" Who was the person who just walked out? ”

The black man lowered his head and stopped talking.

Atsuko said, "What's the matter, don't you think you have much money? ”

The black man hurriedly waved his hand: "No, it's not ......" He hurriedly got up, ran to the door to take a look, then closed the door and returned, and sat next to me.

I laughed and said, "We're just curious, we don't mean anything else." ”

The black man took a deep breath and said, "You may not believe what I said, but this money ...... I want it again. Of course, these are all things I heard my mother say, and the person just now is a native of the Turkish tribe. ”

I asked, "What are the Turks?" ”

The black man said: "It's the kind of person who lives underground, and I didn't have it a few years ago, but in the past two years, there have suddenly been more." These people often pass by me, but they barely communicate with people. ”

I asked again, "What exactly are Turks?" ”

The black man said: "What my mother is talking about is the people who live in the ancient tombs. There are many ancient tombs in this desert, and such people live in tombs. ”
