That night they stayed overnight in a small dilapidated hotel, and the next morning the car set off again, and it didn't take long to enter the desert.

At first, you can still see green vegetation and traces of people walking here, but the further you drive inside, the more remote it becomes, and there is sand in front of you except sand.

It was at this moment that Lin Zi became suspicious.

I don't know how many kilometers the car drove, Lin Zi only remembered that the stones on the road were refueled twice, and there was no gas station in the desert, but this did not stump the stones, as long as the car ran out of gas, Lin Zi could always find gasoline barrels under the sand, this special skill, provoked the other two partners to exclaim.

When it was dark, the wind rose, and they reached their destination in the woods, where it was dark and black, and there was no lighting thing, and the sound of the wind kept coming from the ears, which was very weird.

That night, under the arrangement of the stones, Lin Zi and the others lived in a tent made of iron sheets.

The next day, Lin Zi and they slept until they woke up naturally, this sleep seemed to be numb to the bones, it was so comfortable that they couldn't say, and after a while, someone brought a delicious meal, the taste of the rice was not bad, very hometown.

After eating, they couldn't stand still, and they all said that they were going to go outside for a stroll, don't look at these people talking more than one can blow, but when it came to the officer, they were all cowardly, because looking at the posture of the person delivering food, it seemed that there were guards outside the door.

That's when they really felt scared.

But the timidity in their hearts was soon occupied by impulse, and it was inevitable that the stunned young man who had just gotten out of school had a little impulse, so they discussed it and said that if someone didn't let them out, they would all say that they were going to find Uncle Shi, as long as they kept talking, the people who stopped them outside didn't dare to do anything to them, since the stone could bring them here, it also meant that the stone still had a certain prestige here.

Having made up their minds, they went out, but when they pushed the door open, they were completely startled by what they saw, for they saw that the houses around them were buried in sand.

The houses were scattered around a semicircle, all made of iron sheet and wood, and although they were crooked, they did not collapse because of the thick trunks that supported them, and there were ramps and crevices between each house, which were deliberately designed to prevent too much sand from collapsing the house.

This tin house was built on the sand dunes of the Tengger Desert.

This sand dune is about ten feet high and crescent-shaped, and there are countless sand dunes of all sizes as far as the eye can see.

More than 200 meters away from them, there was a lush grove, and in the middle of the grove there was a small lake, from which wisps of green smoke kept rising.

Lin Zi thought that the first thing he saw after opening the door would be the fierce guard, who knew that when he actually opened the door, what he saw was such a beautiful picture, they waited here for a long time and did not see anyone passing, there was only a row of footprints in front of the door leading to the small lake.

It seems that it should be stepped out by the food delivery person.

Following the footprints, they also came to the lake, and when they got closer, they saw that there was an army-green tent here, and there was a constant shouting sound from the tent, which seemed to be playing cards.

Outside the tent there was also a fire that was lit, and there was a small pot on the fire, in which the meat was stewed, and the aroma was constantly bubbling out.

Lin Zi took a deep breath, it was so fragrant.

For Lin Zi, who rarely eats meat at home, this meal of meat is really so fragrant that his saliva is dripping.

Hearing the footsteps outside, several people came out of the interior of the tent one after another, and he only knew one of these people, and that was the stone.

"Uncle Stone......" they all called out in unison.

It was from that meal that Lin Zi knew what they were going to do next.

It turned out that this group of people turned out to be smugglers in the desert, who mainly sold wolf skins, wolf teeth, and some wild animals in the desert, and also participated in some illegal activities such as transshipment and selling between gangs.

However, Lin Zi didn't know about these things at the time, because he only saw the pile of money on the table.

The stone was even more generous, and when he saw Lin Zi's expression, he guessed what Lin Zi was thinking, only to see him grab a large handful from the table and stuff it directly into Lin Zi's hand.

This is a white banknote, wow, Lin Zi's hand trembling with excitement to take the money.

In such a pleasant environment, Lin Zi watched the gate for more than forty days, and he stood guard by the tin shed with a gun every day, and every day there was enough beef, mutton and wild meat.

In the past 40 days, he has played the role of a bodyguard and follower, and the iron shed is full of new goods that have just come out of the pot, usually entering this evening and going out early tomorrow morning, and the forest will follow the car out to deliver goods every once in a while.

Hearing me ask Lin Zi, "Were there any wolves in Tengger at that time?" ”

"Yes," replied Lin Zi, "quite a few." ”

"Hey, no, wasn't it all wiped out by the wolf fighting movement earlier?"

Lin Zi glanced at me and said, "That's not it, the wolves were given to the Alxa Left Banner by God, how can they be willing to let us be exterminated, they are just scared of being beaten, and they don't dare to come out, these wolves are also very shrewd, and they all hid in the depths of the desert with their families." ”

"At that time, the country did not have a perfect wildlife protection plan, animals were beaten more and more rarely, and our business became more and more difficult, but despite this, our wages were also correct, in fact, in my heart, our wages were the same."

"Why?"

"Because we can't take out a penny, maybe the stone also knows this, so he never owes us wages, we have always lived in a tin shed, in the tin shed except for beds and daily necessities, there is almost no superfluous things, even the corners are clean, our residence is changed every few days, so there is no place to hide money, we can only take one step at a time, in this way, we have become slaves to guard the money, outside the tin shed is the endless desert, if there is no car and water, We can't get out at all, but these things are firmly in their hands, and we guard the wolf skins and a pile of money, but we find that it is completely useless to eat and drink without eating. ”

"In this way, we ran around for two months, in these two months our business is getting weaker and weaker, and there has been no shipment for several days, the owner is urging again, and they are anxious about the stones, so we are moving more and more crazy, and have been slowly advancing into the depths of the desert, and finally one day, there was a strange sound in our cover, and several of us ran to the trap with joy, and found that we had caught a wolf cub."
