Chapter Seventy-Four: Deliberation
Qi Dongrui was silent, he closed his eyes, he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, Xiao Da Yan saw his attitude, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he simply turned his head and asked Batur: "Sun Yan, how are they now?" Is he and Xiao Wang okay? What did you just say? ”
"I didn't say a few words at all, Sun Yan's kid burst into foul language when he came up, and it sounded like he was quite energetic. It's just that Xiao Wang is a little strange, laughing a few times is weak, as if he didn't wake up! I don't know if I heard it wrong. Batur said with a frown.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's not dead!" Xiao Da Yan clenched his fist excitedly and breathed a sigh of relief, "After all, all the supplies on our car are there, it sounds like they are in good spirits, which means that their current situation is not too bad!" ”
"How do you know?!" Qi Dongrui suddenly turned his face around, and his face became very cold, "Isn't the situation bad now?" And what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? When their supplies run out, one more day of wandering around Lop Nur is one more day of danger, and if you know where they are now, you don't have to wait two more days! ”
Xiao's lips were stunned, staring at Qi Dongrui and not knowing what to say. This kid must still be complaining about the fact that he accidentally "scared" the signal just now, but how can he be completely blamed for that kind of thing, this broken signal is not there, and a mouse running over may bring the signal away, not to mention that he is a big living person. And he had already been punched by him just now, and now he had to listen to his sneering, and in an instant a nameless fire burst out of his stomach, he snorted, gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to get angry, thinking that this situation is not the time to quarrel.
Thinking about it, Batur said again: "Sun Yan, did they meet someone, there was obviously a woman's voice on the other end of the phone just now, could it be that they and other expedition teams ran into each other." ”
Qi Dongrui sighed and said, "That's strange, then what is he bad to tell us, as if he is afraid of something, and he doesn't even tell us the location?" ”
Batur shook his head, unable to figure out why for a while.
The discussion was fruitless, and the three of them were silent for a while, Qi Dongrui clenched his fists and said, "I'll try again tomorrow!" ”
After speaking, he cast his eyes on Xiao Dalip again, stared at him and asked, "By the way, do you have something to say?" ”
Xiao Da Yan kept his head down and was silent, and when he heard Qi Dongrui calling him at this moment, he suddenly grinned and said, "The one who knows me is Mo Ruo Qi Ye!" It's too cold outside, I'll tell you when you get inside! ”
Batur and Qi Dongrui glanced at each other, then stood up, patted the sand on his buttocks, and followed Xiao's big lips into the ground.
As soon as he entered the room, Xiao's big lips became serious, stared at Qi Dongrui and said, "I said that you are not allowed to beat me, and you are not allowed to get angry." ”
Qi Dongrui raised his eyebrows, stopped for a while, and he slowly spit out: "I can almost guess what you have to say." Say, if there's any fart, put it out quickly. ”
Xiao took a big breath, as if he had made a lot of determination, before continuing: "I'm going to go after Xue Jiao and them, and I'll set off tomorrow morning, will you go with me?" ”
After speaking, he stared nervously at the faces of Batur and Qi Dongrui, but unexpectedly, the expressions on the faces of these two people did not change much, and he was not angry or surprised, but just looked at him silently.
Xiao Da Yan was at a loss for the two of them, and said hurriedly: "I don't agree with you to give a reaction, don't stop talking!" How? Dumb? ”
Batur shook his head lightly and snorted in his mouth. Reaching out and picking out the cigarettes in his pocket, he had no choice but to smoke too hard outside just now, and the cigarette case was empty, he held the cigarette pack in his hand and rubbed it vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "What about the supplies?" Further on, what do you take to fill your stomach? If you follow Xue Jiao's route, there will be a large area of Yadan landform in front of you, and the car is likely to be scrapped, and a car will not be able to get out if it is trapped. And we don't have enough gas in our car, at most we can go about 50 kilometers. ”
Batur is not a fool, from the fact that Xiao Da Lip has been following the old horse's ass all afternoon, he can see that the clue is coming, this guy definitely wants to catch up. However, there are many problems in front of them now, and if they can't solve them, they will definitely go wrong if they move forward rashly.
"I've thought about all these issues, and I've discussed them with Lao Ma for a long time, and supplies are not a problem. We will first mortgage our carts, and the old horse will provide us with food and camels, and will send two men with us, who are familiar with the terrain ahead, and the next mining area is a hundred kilometers ahead. As long as we catch up with Xue Jiao and them, it doesn't matter if we can't catch up, as long as we get to the next mining area, we can find a way to find food or something. Xiao paused and asked, "Lao Ba, you should know very well, for the Yadan landform ahead, hiking and camels may have more flexibility than the car, the reason why I decided to keep up is because their car must not go far, Lao Ma said, with past experience, the team can travel at most twenty or thirty kilometers a day in the Yadan landform, and we can definitely catch up!" ”
"This" After Batur heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate, he turned his head to look at Qi Dongrui, and saw that this kid's eyes were looking away, with a look of indifference, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xiao Dayan saw that Batur was a little hesitant, and hurriedly seized the opportunity to say: "I won't follow them now, I just want to join Xue Jiao and them as soon as possible, no matter what they say about me, I will admit it, anyway, I am already in Lop Nur, I don't believe they can drive me back!" But I certainly can't do it on my own, won't you two be with me? ”
Xiao said this, and his tone was a little pleading. Batur looked at him, and still asked with some concern: "What about Sun Yan and Xiao Wang?" If the search and rescue team comes, who will answer it? ”
"I'll stay and answer." As soon as Batur's words fell, Qi Dongrui opened his mouth and said.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, they both turned their heads to look at him, and he continued: "You two catch up, I will stay by myself, I will continue to get in touch with Sun Yan and them tomorrow, if not, as soon as Lao Yang's team comes, we will launch an air search and rescue." If you two meet up with Xue Jiao and them, please contact me, if you find Sun Yan and Xiao Wang, we will chase you again if you are in a hurry, if not, we will withdraw directly. ”
Xiao Dayian and Batur were silent, and the three of them were quiet for a while, then they saw Batur nodding and said, "That's okay, no, it's the only way." ”
"Xiao Qike, what do you think?" Qi Dongrui turned his head and looked at Xiao's big lips, who were speechless.
Xiao thought about it for a while, and felt that it was a pity that Qi Dongrui didn't go. However, the situation on Sun Yan and Xiao Wang's side is more urgent, and someone must stay to pick up Lao Yang's team. In fact, he had been struggling with this problem before, and he originally wanted to discuss it with the three of them to see if they could let Lao Ma and them go to meet Lao Yang, but now that he thinks about it, Lao Ma and they are not their own people after all, although they are very enthusiastic, but if there is no person who is familiar with both parties in the middle, it may not be possible to carry out the search and rescue operation well, which is really inappropriate. For a while, he was very conflicted, and he didn't know what to do.
Qi Dongrui saw that he didn't speak for a long time, so he said, "If you don't speak, I will take it as a tacit." ”
