I felt like someone was staring at me, and I wanted to roll over and continue to sleep, but I thought who was okay to watch me sleep, what were I doing? With a thump in his head, he sat up, and his vague consciousness suddenly cleared up.

Holding my beating heart, I looked around, and the fat brother was still asleep on the bed next to him, and no one was in the room.

When I looked up, I realized that there was a picture frame hanging directly across from the TV, and in the frame was a big fat red face covered with a long beard. People who live in Inner Mongolia know that it is the head painting of the Mongolian Khan, Genghis Khan Temujin.

Before entering the room, there were also a lot of picture frames hanging in the corridor, and the people in them were supposed to be the previous Khans of Mongolia, but this is the only one I knew.

"Why don't you bend the bow and shoot the eagle, what are you doing with your eyes?" I muttered, and stood on the bed, deciding to take the frame off first, so that the next time I woke up, I would be plagued by my own suspicions.

Because the bed and the TV cabinet were very close, standing on the bed just enough to touch the wall behind the TV stand, I went to pick up the portrait with both hands, but the nail hanging the portrait was loose, and the portrait was taken off, but the nail fell down, and knocked on the back cover of the TV set, making a bang.

As the sound ended, the fat brother sat up suddenly, like a zombie. Squinting his eyes and stunned for a while, the fat brother finally got out of his dream, yawned, and said to me in a vague pronunciation: "If you don't sleep, what are you tossing there?" ”

I smiled apologetically, saying I was sorry to disturb his dreams, then shook the portrait in my hand and held it next to the TV.

Since everyone has slept enough, they simply get up, go wash first, and then think about the next step. Thinking about the difficulty of things, I have a headache, Jiang Li, this little girl, really threw a hot potato directly into my arms, and I don't care if we can stand it or not.

Looking at my phone, at eleven o'clock at noon, I dialed Yan Qiu's phone, Yan Qiu was still sleeping, and the call was answered by Jiang Li.

Jiang Li said on the phone: "You guys are up, I'm so bored, I'll come here." ”

I said to her, "Wake up your sister Yanqiu first, let's go out to eat something, and go outside in the afternoon." ”

After about half an hour, Yan Qiu and Jiang Li came to our room in a leisurely manner.

I complained about the woman's friction while looking at the two of them, and I laughed out loud at this look. I said why are they so slow, it turns out that Yan Qiu put on makeup for Jiang Li in that room, and Jiang Li, who was originally very pure, let Yan Qiu become a little goblin.

Jiang Li saw me laughing, so he turned around and complained to Yan Qiu: "I said I don't wear makeup, you have to make it up for me, you see him laughing." ”

Yan Qiu glared at me, and said to Jiang Li with a smile: "They don't understand any aesthetics, they don't understand at all, how beautiful they are." ”

I smiled and said, "Hurry up and wash your face, or I won't take you out." ”

Jiang Li pouted, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and we walked out of the room.

Hearing the sound of us closing the door, the door of 203 next door opened. I looked up and saw that it was Lao Li, who probably heard the knock on our door and came out to see.

When he saw that it was a few of us, he smiled and asked, "Why don't you go out to play?" ”

I smiled and nodded, and replied, "Yes, go out and walk around, I don't know what is fun here." ”

Lao Li was really a warm-hearted person, he came out of the room, pointed to the map I was holding in my hand and said, "Give me the map, and I'll show you." ”

I thought to myself, maybe I could ask for a map and inquire about going abroad. handed over the map to Lao Li, waiting for an opportunity to find a topic.

Lao Li took the map, unfolded it, and posted it on the wall of the corridor, pressing the map with one hand to prevent it from slipping, and pointing to it with one hand, the locations of the National Gate Scenic Area, Dinosaur Museum, Yilin Station Cultural Museum and other attractions were pointed out for us one by one.

I pointed to the railway line to Mongolia on the map, and pretended to be stupid and asked Lao Li: "What does this line mean?" ”

Lao Li said: "That's the railway line, leading to foreign countries. ”

I also said, "It's not bad to go abroad, let's buy a train ticket and go to Mongolia to see the grassland, there is no grassland here, it's all Gobi sand." ”

Lao Li was amused by my ignorance, and said to me with a smile: "Is it so easy to go abroad? You have to go through the formalities. ”

I hurriedly asked, "What are the formalities?" ”

Lao Li said: "If you want to go out, then follow the team of the travel agency, it should be easier, what procedures to go through, you have to go to the travel agency to inquire, there are many travel agencies here, just find one to ask." ”

It seems that we have to go the path of a travel agency, as we thought before.

In the end, I said, "That's too troublesome, next time, I won't go this time." Let's go to the places you mentioned first. ”

Lao Li smiled, and finally said, "Otherwise, I'll take you there, right?" I'm fine here anyway. ”

The fat brother smiled and refused, "Don't bother you, we also came by car this time." ”

I had been staring at the map and didn't pay attention to other details, but when he was about to take it down and return it to me, I saw a tattoo on the hand he was pointing to the map. That's right, it's the eye tattoo, a weird eye, staring in horror, surrounded by thorny vines that stretch everywhere, and it looks even more strange on Lao Li's wrinkled hands.

My eyes widened, I shivered, endured the goosebumps that instantly filled my whole body, and pressed Yan Qiu's hand hard against the wall.

When the two hands with the tattooed eyes were placed together, the people who had not yet reacted no longer expressed surprise at my reckless behavior, but all stared at the two hands vigorously.

Jiang Li said first: "Ah, why do you two have the same tattoo?" It's fateful. ”

The fat brother asked me tremblingly, "What, what's going on?" ”

I didn't speak, but stared at Yan Qiu, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.

Yan Qiu also stared at the tattoos of the two with a puzzled face, choked for a long time, and didn't say a word.

I got tired of waiting and said, "Tell me, what's this tattoo all about?" ”

Lao Li's expression did not change, and he still answered me for Yanqiu with a smile: "You said this tattoo, this is a totem." ”

"Totem? What totem? Tribe, nation, group, or organization? The fat brother was obviously a little suspicious, so he asked Lao Li.

Lao Li folded the map and gave it back to me, then turned to the side and said, "Go into the house first, enter the house and then talk." ”

I grabbed Yan Qiu's wrist and entered room 203 in a hurry, and the others followed.

On the single bed by the window, a man older than Lao Li was lying on the bed reading the newspaper with his legs crossed, and an oversized plastic teacup on the bedside table was steaming.

When he saw us coming in, the man hurried up, put away the newspaper and smiled.

Lao Li introduced: "These children are passengers I knew before, and they live next door to us." Then he pointed to the man and said, "Lao Zhang, I am traveling with me and pulling people together." ”

We nodded politely to Lao Zhang, and then sat side by side on the other single bed.

Lao Zhang pulled his shoes, brought a disposable plastic cup, poured four cups of tea from the big teacup, put them on the bedside table and TV cabinet near us, motioned for us to drink water, and then found a bed foot to sit down and continued to read his newspaper.

Lao Li looked at the tattoo on his hand, and then got to the point: "This tattoo is a totem, and it is also a totem on this grassland, I am a Mongolian, and my hometown is over there." In the ancient Mongolian tribe, there were many tribes, and the tribes all had their own totems to worship, and the tribe of our ancestors, the legend seems to be a tribe with more shamanism, the tribe believes in shamanism, and every family is a shaman. Shamanism seems to have witchcraft, can communicate with the heavens, see and predict some unknown things, and other tribes have come to our tribe to ask for instructions from the immortal heaven, so our tribe has no war, remains neutral, and other tribes protect us. Because our eyes can reach the sky, we use this eye as a totem of tribal worship. These are all legends, but the people of our tribe, as long as the child is born, will tattoo the eyes on the hand, so that the separated people can recognize each other. But this is the first time I've seen anyone other than my father have such a tattoo, and it seems that my ancestor and this little sister's ancestor are from the same tribe, maybe they are related. ”

Only then did Yan Qiu speak: "I don't know, it may be so." ”

After listening to this, the fat brother did not continue to ask about the tattoo, but asked Lao Li: "Brother Li, you have a lot of calluses on your index finger, you were a soldier when you were young, right?" The hand that pulls the trigger. ”

Lao Li nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I joined the army when I was young. ”

I was just about to ask what he meant by Immortal Heaven.

The fat brother suddenly got up and said, "Don't bother, let's go first." ”
