Once again, I was lost in thought.

It seems that there is something wrong with this line of thinking. He didn't come here for smuggling, and maybe it had nothing to do with smuggling, but it must have something to do with that small village. The village's proximity to Vietnam may be misleading, and the crux of the matter is not its proximity to the border, but to the village itself. The fat man and I obviously can't stay here to investigate this matter, and it seems that we have to ask squad leader Liu to help with this.

I patted squad leader Liu and said, "How is the shoulder injury?" ”

Squad leader Liu said, "Okay." Thank you for taking care of you. ”

I relaxed my tone and said, "Thanks for what?" Didn't you abolish you in the first place? ”

Squad Leader Liu laughed a few times, and said a little embarrassed: "At that time, I was so naïve, and I was suspicious of everything. It's a big deal. ”

"It's all over, don't talk about it." I laughed twice and said, "There is something to trouble you, did Xiao Guolin come to you to go to that village by name?" ”

"yes, I was also surprised, he didn't even say I didn't know there was such a village. The natural village, which has less than twenty households, is not under my jurisdiction, how does he know? I checked the map, and it didn't show the village. It seems that squad leader Liu also had doubts about this.

"This is a strange matter, and I would like to ask you to investigate this village. I can't say the specifics, but it would be better to be able to go into more detail about the time and composition of the village, especially the people who have moved in and out recently. The more detailed, the better. Oh, what's the name of this village? ”

"Chicken Head Village. Rooster of chicken, very imaginative name for it. Squad Leader Liu laughed evilly after speaking.

As soon as I heard it, this name was a ruined.

When it was almost dawn, in a small town, squad leader Liu put down me and the fat man. I told squad leader Liu again and asked him to go back.

I washed my hair in a stream on the edge of town, and the water immediately turned brown and cloudy. I breathe when I look at the water. The fat man is very knowledgeable and far away from me. The town is not big, so we took the first long-distance bus to Dali, Yunnan. Of course, our destination is not Dali, just to get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. My plan is to go to Yunnan and decide according to the specific situation, or change trains or rest for a few days. It depends on how well my body recovers. At present, I am riding this bus through the rugged mountain road, and the condition of the car is poor, and I am dead and alive. There's no way, let's get through this section first when you're in danger.

In the early morning of the next day, on the road in a township near Jingxi, I was sleeping in a daze when the phone rang. I picked it up and heard it was Jack calling. There was a lot of noise on the phone, the call quality was extremely poor, and the sound was intermittent. I couldn't shout loudly in the car, and Jack didn't seem to have that concern, and kept shouting to talk to me. I only roughly understood that he had called me several times, but I didn't get through, and then I talked about their current location and situation, as if the situation was complicated. The quality of the call was too poor to hear the specific content, I asked Jack to be louder, and I heard Jack burst out in English, saying that I would change the phone. That's the end of the call.

The bus was almost full, and my whole body hurt like a broken shelf, especially my brain, which made the road bumpy like a bowl of broken tofu brains. The back half of the bus bumped even more, I didn't dare to do the back row in this situation, and the fat man sat in the second row, there were too many people around, I was not only inconvenient to talk loudly, but also beware of being heard by someone who wanted to hear the content of our call. After Jack hung up, I turned my head to look around, and most of the passengers in the car were sleeping or sleeping in different postures, and none of them were awake.

The fat man looked at me and said, "Don't worry, you can't hear it in your ears, and others can't hear it." ”

I gave him a blank look and didn't answer him. My heart has been stirred up by this phone call. I looked at my watch, it was two o'clock in the morning, and Jack must be in a hurry to call me at this time. The situation is complicated, how complicated? I forgot about the pain and didn't feel sleepy. Judging by the call signal quality, Jack and Xiao Ting are likely to be on the edge of the desert, where there are few signal base stations and poor call quality, which will not occur in Xi'an. Their speed is too fast, they didn't stop for long in Xi'an and went straight to the desert, what kind of rhythm is this. The key problem is that Jack didn't mention Xiao Ting in his intermittent words, I didn't worry about them going to Xi'an, but he didn't tell me about Xiao Ting's situation when he entered the desert, didn't this make me upset?

Waiting for a call is just as anxious as waiting for someone. After waiting for an hour, the phone rang, and I saw that it was a landline phone number in Xinjiang. The first thing I said when I picked up the phone was, "Is Xiao Ting okay?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, I asked, "Where are you?" ”

"Sycamore Beam." Jack said. The call quality on the landline was much better, and I could hear him clearly without shouting. I was worried that the signal on my side was not good, if that was the case, even if he changed the landline phone, we would not be able to talk normally, and it seems that the main problem is on their side.

This place I know, on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, to the north is the ancient city of Loulan. However, it is still far away from Lop Nur, they want to find clues to Xiao Guolin, there is no hope there, I estimate that the base camp of Xiao Guolin's second expedition is closer to Lop Nur than Jack's current location. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, this is better, at least Xiao Ting will not be in danger.

"How did you get there? Didn't go to Xi'an? I put my mouth on the microphone and asked in a low voice.

"Not to mention, this is the deepest place that is currently allowed to enter, and the area around Lop Nur is under martial law, and it is all classified as a forbidden area." Jack said anxiously: "We got the news that this place may be classified as a no-man's land in Xi'an, so we hurried or didn't catch up in front." Someone went in though. ”

I was shocked when I heard this, and blurted out, "Who, who went in?" ”

There was a busy sound coming from the earpiece, and the connection was disconnected. I turned the phone and saw that the phone had no signal, and I called out to the conductor across the row of people in front of me: "Why is the phone out of signal?" It was fine just now. ”

The conductor is a fat woman in her thirties, and when she talks during the day, she sounds like the driver is a husband and wife, and the two of them have contracted this car. The woman sat at the front, tilting her head and dozing off, and when I asked, she said, "This is a mountainous area, and when the mobile phone signal is good, it is very good, and when it is bad, it is simply not. ”

If I hadn't had the next few words with Jack, I would have been able to bear with it, but his last sentence was that someone had gone in, and I had no clue. He and Xiao Ting were the ones who went to the desert, he didn't go in, and he was in such a hurry to call me, it was Xiao Ting who went in?

As soon as this thought came to me, it was like a spell that made me nervous. I couldn't sit still at all, my eyes kept staring at my phone, but I couldn't see a signal. I feel like I'm going to break down if I go on like this.
