I chatted with the driver for more than half an hour, and the chat content also revolved around his son and his future daughter-in-law, during which he asked me if I knew where we were going, which made me a little stunned, and said, you are driving, do you dare to come without even knowing the destination?

As I was talking, I suddenly saw the grasshopper walking towards me with a big soup bowl, and the driver saw that someone was coming, and he was also very interested in taking his things to the tent next to him to find other drivers to chat. After he left, there were only me and the Gnats left.

We used to live together, and we didn't feel embarrassed every day, but now, he and I feel awkward across the campfire, especially me, I don't even know what to call it.

"Grasshopper, no, is there something wrong with Mr. Qian?"

The grasshopper handed me the soup bowl in his hand and said, "This is what Boss Zhang asked me to give you, drink it while it's hot." ”

I took it and looked at it, I don't know what the black bowl was, and when I smelled it, there was a faint smell of medicine.

"What is this?" I asked him.

"The medicine that Dr. Mu Zhuo prescribed for you." He spoke in a faint tone.

"Oh", he threw his head up, wiped his mouth, and returned the bowl to him, "Thank you." ”

The grasshopper turned around and left, and I suddenly felt that this was an opportunity, so I shouted: "Wait, if it's all right, just sit down and stay for a while, I think that Zhang Yang should also have important things to discuss, and it may not be convenient for you to be there." ”

I came up with such a reason, and even I thought it was ridiculous after saying it.

Unexpectedly, the grasshopper actually stopped, turned to look at the bonfire, and then sat down next to the bonfire again, but kept its eyes on the raging flames.

There was silence for two or three minutes, I felt that the atmosphere was really embarrassing, and handed him a cigarette, but unexpectedly, he actually took it, and lit it and smoked it very skillfully.

"When did you learn to smoke?" I asked.

The gnats said lightly: "It's very young, about eleven years old." ”

"Then before you, I mean, the time when you lost your memory, you didn't"

The gnats looked at me and said, "No, I didn't want to smoke at all then, actually, even now, I don't like to smoke." ”

After he finished speaking, he actually flicked the remaining half of the cigarette into the campfire.

Another minute or two of silence.

I swallowed the words several times, and seeing that he wanted to leave, I immediately rushed to him before he got up and asked, "Are they telling the truth?" Your name is Qianjue, and you are also a member of that organization, and you approached me for the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice, right? ”

After hearing this, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of the grasshopper's mouth, turned his head to look at me very seriously, and said, "Boss Xiao, what do you think?" ”

I couldn't catch it all at once, "Huh? I? I do not know. ”

The gnats shook their heads and smiled bitterly, "The organization you mentioned, it is very large, there are many branches, Jiang Yuan, Zhang Yang, are the two branches of this organization, under them, there are branches, as for me, Qian Jue does not work for anyone, only for his heart." ”

After he finished speaking, he left without waiting for me to speak, I watched his back disappear from my sight little by little, and I had an inexplicable feeling in my heart, is his sentence "Don't work hard for anyone, just for your heart" to express your inner thoughts or deliberately say it to me?

I was thinking about the fire, and suddenly remembered the notebook that Jiang Yuan had put in my place before, which he quietly stuffed to me when I returned to Beijing, at that time, he was about to be escorted back to the headquarters by Li Laosi and them as a hostage, in such a crisis situation, he didn't explain anything to me, just gave me this notebook, thinking of this, I suddenly felt that with Jiang Yuan's thoughts, he must have discovered that some of the information in the notebook may be related to the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice, so he took the risk of transferring the notebook.

Glancing around, there was no one, but it was safe.

In order to hide, I didn't dare to turn on the miner's lamp, but I just leaned close to the fire, the desert has a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and the temperature is already very low at this time, sitting on the edge of the fire, you can also keep warm.

As soon as I opened the notebook, before I could read the few lines on the first page, I heard someone shouting that it was raining.

As soon as the words fell, the soybean-sized raindrops were already very dense, and I quickly hid back in the tent, and the roof of the tent was crackling with the raindrops.

I put on my coat, packed my gear, and prepared to go at any time, but after waiting for a while, no one came to call me, let alone a car starting, and everyone was quiet.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the sand under my feet can already be used as a sand sculpture, I saw a few points of light moving from a distance, and when I got closer, I saw that it was Zhang Yang and the grasshopper, and they were followed by a few people, and the group was heading towards the place where the car sank during the day, I saw that there might be a situation, and I also wore a raincoat and followed, and when I chased them, they had already stood around the sand pit.

Zhang Yang saw me coming and smiled, "I'm about to ask someone to call you, since you're here, let's take a look together." ”

I was a little curious, and craned my neck to look down, this bunker was still very shallow during the day, just a little more concave than other places, and now that it is raining, this place has sunk by about half a meter.

"Boss Xiao, when this rain is over, the remains of the Gulan Trade Road will be revealed, and when the time comes, we will walk along the Gu Shang Road."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at the grasshopper, all my attention at this time was on this big pit, I didn't listen carefully to what he said at all, just nodded "um", and said: "The Guran trade road is the only way to the south of the Western Regions, legend has it that this trade road is divided into yin and yang, one through the countries of the south of the Silk Road, and one through the underground underworld, I don't know which one we will see later." ”

Zhang Yang actually laughed after hearing this, and when he laughed, he even laughed with several other people around him.

I was a little annoyed, "What's ridiculous, the Guran business road existed before the Western Regions, and its history has not been verified so far. ”

After hearing this, the gnats touched their chin with one hand, looked at the sinking sand pit thoughtfully, and said: "Boss Xiao is right, the fragment of the Gulan Secret Scroll does record the saying that the Guran Merchant Road leads to Yin and Yang, as for what the Netherworld refers to in this Merchant Road, I think, it is likely to refer to the Tomb of the King of the Western Night, because this royal tomb has a Huangquan Road leading to the underworld, we might as well follow this direction to find it, maybe there will be a harvest." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said a sentence in English, which seemed to mean "All assemble and prepare." ”

The rain was already close to the rain, and the wind was starting to pick up, and a few of us were standing on the edge of the pit, thankfully with equipment bags that added weight to ourselves, otherwise we might have been blown into the pit.

The scene was quiet for more than ten minutes, and a guy hurriedly ran over, stood in front of us with a panicked face, and suddenly pointed at me and said, "Boss, he kills people." ”

When I heard this, I scolded: "Fuck you, Lao Tzu has been standing here, don't talk nonsense." ”

Seeing that I was not in the right mood, the grasshopper immediately leaned sideways in front of me, and then whispered to the young man, "Tell me clearly." ”

The guy was still pointing at me, and the tears on his face and the frequency of his breathing told me that it wasn't acting, but real.
