Chapter 2 Visits
"Lop Nur?" Gu Jie looked at Qin Zhen with a puzzled face. Qin Zhen nodded,
Gu Jie suddenly realized, "Oh! I seem to be a little impressed when you say that. I heard that this place is quite evil! It is said that it is known as China's Devil's Triangle? Bermuda, China? The first time Qin Zhen saw Gu Jie so serious, he nodded to him again.
Who knows, Gu Jie said in the next sentence, "Actually, it's nothing." If you go once, you can go there, there are beautiful women! ”
Qin Zhen frowned, looked at him puzzled, and asked, "Lop Nur has a beautiful woman?" You're sick, aren't you!? Which great god sues you? ”
Gu Jie scratched his head innocently and said, "It's a beautiful woman, that's right, isn't the Loulan bride from that piece?" Isn't there a song, ah, Loulan bride, the girl of my dreams! As he spoke, he also sang two lines symbolically.
Qin Zhen smiled bitterly, shook his head, and teased, "Tsk, old Gu, you can do it!" The taste is getting more and more unique, and you won't let go of the dried corpse? The aesthetic is really different! I've known you for so many years, why didn't I find out about you early? I don't know if there are girls in Lop Nur, but it's certain that there are girls' dried corpses. ”
Gu Jie's face was flushed when Qin Zhen choked, and he scolded with big eyes, "Phew! You like to dry corpses! I mean, even the dried corpses can be so beautiful there, which proves that the water and soil in that place are good, and there are beautiful women! You know it! ”
Qin Zhen sneered and said, "The water and soil are good? I guess there's only sand there! can't raise the girl you want to see. Don't be delusional. ”
After speaking, Qin Zhen lit a cigarette and stood up, pacing back and forth in the house, slowly introducing Gu Jie as he walked, "The geographical location of Lop Nur is on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert. It originated in the foothills of the Altun Mountains 2 million years ago, at the heart of the ancient Silk Road. Since its discovery, mysterious and spooky events abound. What we know, what we don't know, is buried under that impermanent sand. As for the Loulan you just mentioned, it's on the north shore of Lop Nur. The ruins are walked in the Yadan landform group in the northwest corner of Lop Nur. Many people who go there to hunt for treasures and explore have never returned. ”
"Damn, don't scare me! If that's what you say, it's not a treasure trove of feng shui! In such a vicious place, why does Binzi's grandfather have to go? Gu Jie asked puzzled.
Qin Zhen pinched his cigarette, shook his head and said, "It probably has something to do with his original work." Come on, it's almost time, let's go first. So saying, he took a piece of clothing from the hanger by the door, casually draped it over his body, and went out the door.
The three of them are actually not too far away, which is why they are still very close after decades. So it didn't take long for Qin Zhen and Gu Jie to come to Wang Bin's house.
Standing at the door of Wang Bin's house, Qin Zhen also specially instructed Gu Jie not to speak without blocking the door. The disappearance of the old man has already made the Wang family's chickens and dogs jump. Now that Wang Bin is missing again, Uncle Wang and his family have been hit hard, and they must not be able to withstand any stimulation. So, don't talk nonsense! Don't say what you shouldn't say, don't mention what you shouldn't!
Gu Jie listened and said impatiently, "Oh, am I as reckless as you think?" I still need you to teach me! Hurry up and knock on the door. I promise to obey the command and never talk nonsense. ”
Qin Zhen glared at him, and then stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.
A short time later, the door opened. It was Wang Bin's father who opened the door, and he seemed to be much older after not seeing him for a month. The heavy bags under my eyes showed that I hadn't had a good rest for a long time. Seeing Qin Zhen and Gu Jie, he deliberately smiled reluctantly and said, "Ah, it's you." Come on, come on. ”
"Hello Uncle Wang." Qin Zhen said hello and walked into the house.
Behind him, Gu Jie raised the two bags in his hand with a hippie smile, and said flatteringly, "Hehe, Uncle Wang, this is the breakfast I bought for you and your aunt, eat it while it's hot." ”
This is indeed the idea that Gu Jie came up with. Because it's not even eight o'clock in the morning at this time, it's really early to visit people's homes. Therefore, Gu Jie insisted on buying two breakfasts, saying that it would not be too abrupt to go in this way.
Wang Bin's father said tiredly while taking the breakfast, "Hehe, silly boy." What to buy early! Come in and sit down. With that, he walked into the kitchen on the side.
At this time, the door of the bedroom in the back room opened, and it was Wang Bin's mother who came out. The red and swollen eyes and tired body can clearly see what this family has endured these days.
As soon as she saw Qin Zhen and Gu Jie, Wang Bin's mother's eyes began to turn red again. Seeing this, Qin Zhen hurriedly stood up from the sofa, walked to her side, held her hand and comforted, "Auntie, don't cry, don't cry." I know you're in a hurry right now. Gu Jie and I came here just to see how we could help. I'm sure something will happen to Binzi! Hearing Qin Zhen say this, Wang Bin's mother's affection eased slightly, nodded and pulled Qin Zhen to sit down. The four of them sat on the sofa like this, and the atmosphere was unusually solemn and silent.
In the end, Gu Jie couldn't help but open his mouth first: "Don't worry about your body, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry!" Our brothers and sons grew up together, and Binzi is more stable than both of us, so we both believe that Binzi will not have an accident. Da Zhen and I also want to see your second elder first, and then go to him! ”
After listening to Gu Jie's words, Qin Zhen shot him ten times in his heart. Wang Bin's mother nodded movingly and said, "Good boy, I still let you worry about it." I know you're good friends, but... We don't even know where Wang Bin has gone, so where can you go to find him. With this heart, you and Uncle Wang are very grateful, don't run blindly, if something happens to you again, how can I explain it to your parents. Wang Bin, why doesn't he let us worry about it so much..."As she spoke, Wang Bin's mother's tears fell again.
Wang Bin's father raised his head at this time and said in a low voice, "Okay, you may be more uncomfortable looking at these two children." Now it's not sure that Binzi has had an accident, so don't cry. Let's go inside and rest. Wang Bin's mother nodded tiredly, and asked Qin Zhen and Gu Jie to sit for a while and stay for dinner at noon. Then I went back to my bedroom alone.
Qin Zhen looked at Wang's mother's haggard back, and couldn't help but feel sour. Who doesn't have parents? This kind of thing is a great disaster for any mother! It would be more painful than killing her! Especially now that the process of life and death is uncertain, it will be more worrying and tormenting.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhen looked at Wang Bin's father, and then said seriously, "Uncle Wang, we are here because we have something to ask you." I know it's going to be a bit abrupt, but it's definitely about finding Binzi's whereabouts. So ......"
"You want to ask Wang Bin about his grandfather." Unexpectedly, before Qin Zhen could ask, Wang Bin's father had already said it first. Then, he stood up, walked to the study, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, then handed it to Qin Zhen, sat down again, and said, "This is what his grandfather left when he left." ”
Presumably he didn't know that Wang Bin had already told Qin Zhen and Gu Jie the contents of the paper. So when he took out this piece of paper at this time, Qin Zhen naturally didn't have any surprised expression. Just holding the letter paper, he calmly asked, "Uncle, what I want to know is... Where is 'that place' that the old man is referring to? Also, what is the regret and pain that the old man said for half his life? ”
Wang Bin's father lit a cigarette, sighed deeply and said, "Son, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know too well." I only remember that the summer of '80 was my father's last job as a driver. That was the time, and it seemed that something big had happened. At that time, I was not interested in the folk rumors, and my father never said anything about his work. It is said that it is related to state secrets, even if it is a relative, it cannot be revealed for half a point. At the time, I was curious and dismissive. I asked my father several times why his job as a driver was comparable to that of the Security Service and the Secret Service. I just remember that he looked at me helplessly and sternly, and replied, 'If we want to live, we must shut up', and I never asked anything about his work or the accident. Soon after, we moved here. ”
When listening to Wang Bin's father tell this passage, Qin Zhen had been secretly comparing time in his heart. 80 years? The big event? I am afraid that the terrible premonition will finally be fulfilled. In those special periods and special years, every time something big happens, it will cause a sensation across the country. Not to mention people of Qin Zhen's generation, even if they are younger, they will know more or less. Therefore, the incident that Old Man Wang was involved in at the beginning, Qin Zhen had already guessed eight or nine.
At this time, Wang Bin's father suddenly looked at Qin Zhen and Gu Jie with a straight face, and then said very solemnly, "Child, be obedient and go home." Those things should not involve you. Be sure to listen to me, don't go to Wang Bin, and don't mention this matter again. Life and death are fateful. ”
Gu Jie was very surprised, why did Uncle Wang say this? I haven't found Wang Bin yet, why did I give up? As soon as he wanted to open his mouth, he was interrupted by Qin Zhen's nudge. I only heard Qin Zhen open his mouth and say, "Uncle Wang, we know. We wanted to go to Binzi's house to get something, and he forgot to give me the USB flash drive he took from my store last time. ”
Wang Bin's father closed his eyes tiredly and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”
"Hmm!" With that, Qin Zhen picked up Gu Jie and walked to Wang Bin's room.
After entering the house, Gu Jie gently closed the door, lowered his voice and asked seriously, "The target is the USB flash drive?" What model? What's inside? It can't be a blockbuster, right? ”
Qin Zhen rolled his eyes and scolded in a low voice, "You really lack heart!" Am I just making excuses? Otherwise, how do you get in? ”
"Oooh! Earlier, I thought our task now was to find a USB flash drive."
"Stop talking nonsense. We've got to hurry, or we'll be in this house all the time. Qin Zhen urged.
"Ah, I want to hurry up, you ordered the task!"
"Looking for notes, looking for Binzi's notes and diary stuff!"
"Holy! Da Zhen, you're snooping on other people's privacy! Gu Jie said in a low voice.
Qin Zhen was stunned for a moment and said, "People don't know if there is anything left, what kind of privacy is still hidden?" Hurry up! Hurry up and find it! ”
Gu Jie pursed his mouth, and then began to carefully rummage Wang Bin's desk like a thief.
The room was not big, clean and simple. After a while, Gu Jie took a notebook and shouted to Qin Zhen in a suppressed voice, "Hey, Da Zhen, take a look at it?" ”
Qin Zhen took it and opened it to see that although it was not a diary note, it was indeed Wang Bin's essay. Think about it, unless there are special work and special circumstances, the general old man will not write a diary every day. That's pretty much it.
Moreover, Qin Zhen flipped through it casually and took a general look, and the contents in it turned out to be all about Taklamakan and Lop Nur.
Qin Zhen put the notebook in his arms, and then teased Gu Jie, "Yo ho, you kid is very skilled in kung fu!" Do you often rummage through boxes and cabinets to spy on other people's privacy? ”
Gu Jie pushed Qin Zhen unhappily and scolded, "You/don't talk about cool things!" You instructed me to do this vile and obscene deed! ”
Qin Zhen smiled, "Okay, okay, let's go!" ”
Out of Wang Bin's room, Qin Zhen didn't dare to stay any longer because of the notebook on his body. instructed the second elder to pay attention to his body and take care of himself, and then turned around and said goodbye.
After coming out, Gu Jie couldn't wait to ask, "Eh, how is it?" You flipped a few pages just now, do you have a clue? Did Binzi leave any suicide notes like his grandfather? ”
"Nope." Qin Zhen replied simply.
"Didn't that steal for nothing?!" Gu Jie shouted.
Qin Zhen hurriedly pushed him, scolded, "Don't shout, okay!" Honorable, huh? Are you afraid that no one will know that you stole something? ”
"Ahh Yes, yes, there is no control zhì live in the feelings... It didn't work, why did you steal it? This time, Gu Jie lowered his voice and said.
"Who says it's useless? It's full of information and notes written down by Binzi, and even the route is very clear. After Qin Zhen finished speaking, Gu Jie's eyes immediately began to light up, "Really?!" There's a destination on it, huh? Where is he? Where the hell did he go? ”
Qin Zhen stopped, looked at Gu Jie with a slightly regretful and frustrated expression, and then said weakly, "If you guess correctly... It's Lop Nur. With that, move on.
"When did this kid start to have this spirit of challenging nature? When I was a child, I didn't find out that this child had this problem! Gu Jie scolded angrily.
It was Qin Zhen who said very calmly, "Actually, I'm not surprised at all. From the matter of Old Man Wang, I almost guessed where Bin Zi might go. Both of them went in one direction. ”
Gu Jie looked at Qin Zhen in disbelief and said, "You thought of it a long time ago?" So, do you know the secret of their old man? ”
"I can't say I know, but I can almost guess it. The great events that took place in that era were obvious to all Chinese. Compare the time and place, and you can naturally guess some. It's just that I definitely don't know about them. It is impossible for the average person to know. You also heard Uncle Wang say it just now, it seems that it is some secrets related to the military. How can we ordinary people know? ”
After Gu Jie heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that we have something to do this time!" We have to find Binzi, we have to find Binzi and his grandfather, and we have to explore the secrets of Binzi and his grandfather. ”
"Huh? Why do you seem to be looking forward to it? Qin Zhen asked with a smile.
"Isn't it worth looking forward to knowing something that most people don't know? I want to see what kind of ingredients Wang Bin's family is. Besides, in this life, no matter how you say it, you have to do something great, so that when you are old, you will feel that this life is in vain. Gu Jie said solemnly.
Qin Zhen shook his head helplessly and did not speak again. Isn't it ridiculous to reason with this stupid hat with thick lines? But... His last sentence seemed to make a lot of sense.
Qin Zhen knew very well what Wang Bin and his grandfather would face if he wanted to find him this time! It's almost a battle with your life at stake. There is a great possibility that Wang Bin was not found, and he and Gu Jie were also buried in the sea of sand.
But even so, he and Gu Jie would never let Wang Bin's disappearance go and turn a blind eye.
So, for the sake of buddies, this trip is imperative.
