Chapter 19: The False Mongols
Looking at the strange posture of the iron head, I suddenly felt a little funny, and I was a little curious, I didn't know what he was doing, so I took a step and walked over. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But as I approached, the iron head held out a hand to signal me not to come, and the pillar on one side covered his mouth with one hand, and waved his hand at me with the other.
Although I wondered a lot, I didn't go any further, and waited quietly for the iron head to explain to me the reason. To tell the truth, the sight of a big bald head, kneeling on the green grass, tilting his head and putting his ears to the ground, looks a little funny.
After waiting for a while, Tietou slowly stood up, but his face was unusually solemn, and he muttered, "Sure enough, someone came to usγγγγγγ β
I was stunned, what is this called? What do you mean that someone is coming to us? He was even more puzzled in his heart, and just wanted to ask, but Tietou said again: "Let's go, Third Young Master, Ni Tian told us to gather." Without waiting for me to speak, he took a step forward.
Only then did I see that Ni Tianzheng, who was standing in front of the car, was waving at us, and beside him was Jin Buchang, who had a smug face.
"Pillar, what's the situation?" I'm really getting a little confused.
The pillar first shook his head, and then stretched out his thumb with a smile on his face: "I don't know, but it's right to listen to Boss Tie." β
I sighed helplessly, and sure enough, I asked in vain, forget it, everything will be known after the pastγγγγγγ
Before the car, Jin Buchang triumphantly made a gesture of eight to me, and then pointed to his ear: "Boy, count accurately, it's eight horses that will come in a while." β
I was slightly surprised, someone is coming? Listening to the meaning, there were quite a few people, and at the same time, they suddenly understood the meaning of Tietou's previous words. I see, it seems that this little fat little fat has once again shown his self-righteous hearing skills, first hearing the voice of someone coming, and then informing Iron Head, who used his own method to confirm it again.
I have no doubt about the judgment of these two men, at least I certainly do not doubt the judgment of the iron head. It's just that now that we have entered the no-man's land deep in the grassland, how can anyone come here? A bad thought came to my heart, could it beγγγγγγ You're coming for us?
Before I could think about it any longer, there was a series of horses' hooves on the grassland in the distance, accompanied by flying dust, and a group of men and horses could be faintly seen galloping towards us.
Lu Laodao, who was sitting in the car, was also alarmed by this sound, got out of the car, and did not forget to drag another paragraph: "Poor road yesterday, watching the stars at night, there are guests visiting today, but I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?" β
I gave him a blank look, and I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued to stretch my neck to look into the distance, looking at the posture of this group of people, it was really coming at us.
"God, could it be a bandit? Do you want to take some guys for self-defense? Jin Buchang is quite happy, he can't see the slightest worry, but he is a little gearing up, and he can't wait to come to the bandits, so that he can stage a wonderful black and black drama.
Ni Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the approaching horse team, and waved his hand: "No, it may be just a passing Mongolian herdsman in disguise, we still have something to do, don't act rashly and cause unnecessary trouble." β
"It's too~" Jin Buchang was a little disappointed, and he also craned his neck to look at the team. To be honest, I really admire this little black fat man, I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic, I guess I am talking about people like him.
In a few moments, the group had reached the front, I squinted my eyes, counted the number of people, eight people riding eight horses, dressed in Mongolian clothes, carrying shotguns on their backs, and looking like they were hurrying away.
But one of the eight people surprised me a lot, it was a young man with a chicken nest head lying on his back on horseback. Although the Mongols have always been known as a people on horseback, how can this thing sleep on the back of a galloping horse? It's definitely a wonder on horseback.
When the horse stopped, the young man in the nest opened his eyes sleepily, muttering something in his mouth, and then, shaking his body twice, he fell asleep on the horse's back again, and I was dumbfounded.
It was a stubble-faced little flat-headed man who stopped before us, rolled over and dismounted, put one hand on his chest, and saluted me first, and then muttered to us without knowing what to say to us.
Ni Tian stepped forward and returned the salute in the same way, and talked to the big man in a grunted voice.
I heard it in a fog, quietly poked the iron head on the side, and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation?" β
"They speak Mongolian." Iron Head's explanation made me a little speechless, of course I knew that they spoke Mongolian, and if Mongolians didn't speak Mongolian, couldn't they speak English?
"Hey, it's a pity we don't understand, we don't know what we're talking about? I can't figure out whether it's friend or foe. I sighed and explained what I was trying to say.
"When I used to do criminal investigation, I stayed in Inner Mongolia for half a year, and I knew Mongolian somewhat." Iron Head said extremely calmly.
My eyes lit up, and I instantly became interested: "Listen, what are they saying?" β
Tietou narrowed his eyes and looked the group of Mongols up and down, while roughly translating the conversation between Ni Tian and the little flat-headed strong man: "Four days ago, the younger brother of the big man went out to shepherd the sheep, but he didn't go back. Now the Han and his people are searching little by little along the way, asking us if we have seen any Mongols or lost sheep. Ni Tian said that we are just here for tourism, and the tourists who are camping here have not seen any Mongolians passing through here before. β
My heart was relieved, it turned out that I was looking for someone, and they all said that I was a thief and a thief, and I realized it, I was really nervous in my heart, for fear that I would have to make extraneous branches.
At this time, Ni Tian and the little flat-headed strong man had already ended the conversation, and the little flat-headed strong man looked extremely disappointed, and after muttering something, he turned over and got on the horse, waved his hand, and led the people away, disappearing into the depths of the heavenly grassland.
Ni Tian squinted his eyes in the direction they were leaving, and only after they disappeared at the end of the grassland horizon did he turn around: "Let's go too, so as not to regenerate branches." β
Jin Buchang didn't seem to understand Mongolian, shook his head, and asked Ni Tian with a puzzled expression: "God, what are these people doing?" β
Ni Tian smiled and replied concisely: "Looking for someone, I said that we were just tourists, and I didn't see it." β
Jin Buchang pursed his lips, obviously a little unconvinced of the intentions of this group: "Looking for someone? Are they all carrying guns? Jin Ye, I don't think it's that simple. β
Ni Tian frowned and thought for a moment: "This Mongolian people mostly live on nomadism, this grassland seems to be quiet, but it is extremely dangerous, if you encounter wolves when shepherding sheep, it is not strange to travel with guns." β
Jin Buchang waved his hand and sighed: "I knew that Inner Mongolia was so easy to get a gun, Jin Ye, I will also get a few, even if Dou'er encounters zongzi, I will blow it up." β
Ni Tian smiled without saying a word, turned around and pulled the car door and got into the car. I was about to get into the car, but the iron head next to me grabbed me.
I was stunned for a moment, looked at Tietou suspiciously, and saw that his face was solemn, and he lowered his voice and said in my ear: "This group of people should not be Mongolian herdsmen. β
"Not Mongolian herders? What do you mean? His words fooled me again.
"Mongolian herdsmen live in the city all year round, and their skin is dark, and their skin is very fair, obviously living in the city all year round, and they are γγγγγγ." Iron Head paused again at this point.
"And what?" I found this big bald head is really a bit depressing, although I don't want to speak, but I always love to sell just right, hang people's appetite, if one day the master can't help it, designated to take sandpaper to polish your shiny big bald head.
Of course, Tietou didn't know these messy thoughts in my heart, and continued: "I paid attention to the palm of the Mongolian man who was talking, and there was an obvious layer of thick calluses at the knuckle of the second knuckle of the index finger. β
I tried to remember the appearance of the stubble little flat-headed strong man, as if it was really as the iron head said, but in this way, I was even more puzzled: "Then who are they?" β
Tietou thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "I don't know, but it seems that Ni Tian also discovered the abnormality, so he urged us to hurry up." β
Ni Tian also found out that they were not Mongolian herders? But if Ni Tian really discovered this anomaly, why didn't he say it? And since this group of fake Mongols appeared in this steppe no man's land, since they were not coming for us, what was the intention?
"Hurry up, boy, there's no more slow!" The urging sound of Jin Bu for cheap came from inside the car, and I looked at Tietou and stopped discussing this issue, and hurriedly got into the car.
The engine started again, and we set off again, heading into the depths of the prairie, and the mute Gao Cold, who had severe autism, was still wandering in his own worldγγγγγγ
The rest went much better, and in the evening and early of the next morning, we had a brief rest at the edge of two other beautiful lakes with a large tree beside them, and then continued on our way, not encountering the group of Mongols again. I don't think about what these people are trying to do, it's just none of my business.
Faced with the long driving cycle, it has brought another serious problem, I have developed severe aesthetic fatigue. These grasslands and lakes are no longer so beautiful in my eyes, they only bring boredom and restlessness. As Ni Tian said at the beginning, if it weren't for the sporadic trees around me, I really wouldn't even feel the vehicle moving forward. I really admire Ni Tian for being able to determine the direction in this almost identical grassland and continue to search for the location of the mysterious tomb.
In the afternoon, on the vast grassland, a small yurt appeared in my field of vision. The yurt is like a swaying duckweed in the wind, crumbling, standing alone on this endless prairie.
My heart suddenly felt nervous, and my heart was beating so fast that I felt a little suffocated, it was a kind of excitement, a kind of expectation, a kind of joy, fourth uncle, I finally cameγγγγγγ
As soon as the car stopped in front of the yurt, I couldn't wait to pull the door and rush down, running towards the yurt: "Fourth uncle! Fourth uncle! I shouted to vent the emotions in my heart, but on the vast grassland, what responded to me was a deathly silence. Isn't it there? I didn't care too much and rushed straight into the yurt.
I have fantasized countless times about the reunion with my fourth uncle, and he will show that loving smile that can only be revealed in front of me, reaching out and gently touching my head? Or will you punch me in the chest and call me a dead boy? Or did you hug me tightly without words? There are so many that I can't even remember how many wonderful clips I have imagined that moved me to tears. But the moment I entered the yurt, I was greeted by a scene that I could never have imaginedγγγγγγ
Inside the yurt, there is a wooden table and a wooden bed, and there are no other excessive furnishings. And on the wooden bed, there was a corpse dressed in Mongolian costumes, the face of the corpse did not rush to the door, it was difficult to see the appearance, an arm with dense corpse spots was put down from the side of the bed, there was a thick and long incision in the artery of the wrist, the blood on the hand and the ground had long since dried into a bloody lump, and it was covered with wriggling maggots, which made people sick, and it was obvious that this person had been dead for a long time.
The stench of decomposing corpses filled the yurt and rushed into my nostrils, suffocating me.
My body was like a lightning strike, my brain was blank, and I stood at the door in a daze, although I couldn't believe the scene in front of me in the yurt, but the nausea feeling of tumbling in my stomach reminded me that all this was realγγγγγγγ
