Chapter 6: Changing Faces

Afterwards, Xue An was like a different person, he became very melancholy, and he seemed to be pressed with something in his heart, Bilier asked him about what happened later, but Xue An only couldn't say clearly, because he also fainted. At that time, Bilier didn't think much about it, because he was still young, and it was only when he recalled it as an adult, and then recalled Xue An's later changes in personality, he felt that things at that time were definitely not so simple.

Hearing this, Zhang Wen asked, "The sand dunes that will bulge on their own?" It's really strange, could it be that the site where they were staying at that time was the site of the ancient kingdom of Yaofang? ”

Ouyang Xuan kept looking at Zhen Rui when she spoke, her eyes were bright, and the meaning of admiration was self-evident, but Zhen Rui didn't seem to be interested in her, I observed for a while and came to a conclusion: These two people are not suitable, and their personalities are too different.

Ouyang Xuan looks lively and clever, innocent and cute, while Zhen Rui is always a calm and stable appearance, not a person as cold as a mute, but definitely not a warm person, and Ouyang Xiaomei is not a good match.

At this time, he saw Ouyang wrinkle his nose and said, "More strange things are behind." She continued.

said that after Xue An's time, his temperament changed a little, and he seemed very melancholy. But something more strange is later, it was a day two years after the desert incident, during that time, under the call of the policy, the wolf fighting movement arose on the grassland, wolf meat and wolf skin can be exchanged for money, it can be said that it is the end of the wolf pack, and now it is difficult to see wild wolves on the grassland, and the wolf fighting campaign has a lot to do with the wolf fighting campaign back then, and the wolves on the grassland have almost been wiped out.

At the gathering point, there was a wooden platform outside the tent on which wolf skins were dried. In the middle of the night, it suddenly rained, and the people in the tent hurriedly got up to collect the skins, which was not a job, so Billier's family got up with him.

At that time, I took advantage of the rain to collect a lot of skins, and after harvesting, I hid back in the tent. Billier's father was a well-known sharpshooter on the steppe, and he was very good at shooting bows and arrows with a shotgun.

Speaking of this, the old man Bilier also lamented that he knew that there were no wolves now, so he would not have fought so many wolves in the first place, there were no wolves on the grassland, and rabbits and gerbils had fewer natural predators, and they multiplied in large numbers, gnawing the grass bald, so that the grassland was good, and many places were covered by deserts a few decades ago.

Most people only care about their immediate interests, not only the wolves on the grassland have disappeared, but there are many species that are being driven to a dead end by humans step by step. Of course, it is useless to regret it now, maybe it will only be saved when the day when humanity wakes up, but I don't know if it will be too late then.

The Bilier family was proud of this at the time, and they fought a lot of wolves, and the skins were in good condition, and one piece was heavy on the hand, so Bilier was slower than others to collect. When he finished collecting the last wolf skin, he suddenly noticed that at the moment when the lightning illuminated the world, a thin back was walking into the distance in the rainy night.

The pace was unhurried, and there was no feeling of a normal person rushing in the heavy rain.

The Mongol was generally muscular, and from the emaciated and familiar back, Bilier judged that it was Xue An. He has a good relationship with Xue An, and Xue An has a life-saving grace for him, so he has always regarded Xue An as a life-saving benefactor, even if Xue An's personality changed a little later, Bilier also likes to be with him.

What is Brother Xue going to do at such a late hour?

Seeing that the rain was pouring down, Xue An looked very strange without rain gear, and Bilier immediately put away the wolf skin and chased after him with the rain bucket.

At that time, there were very few flashlights, let alone on the grasslands, and the heavy rain could not light torches, so Bilier could only catch up with the man who appeared and disappeared by the light of lightning. In the blink of an eye, both of them were a little far away from the yurt. Bilier quickened his pace, walked around to Xue An'an's side, and was about to speak, however, the moment he saw Xue An's face, Bilier fainted in fright.

Because what he saw was not a human face, but a fox-like, hairy, pointy face!

Although Billier is not a timid person, when he saw this scene at first glance, he was still frightened enough and fainted. When he woke up, he found himself sleeping on his felt, and the qiē around him was nothing unusual, and the scene of last night seemed to be a dream.

Bilier finally thought he was dreaming, but he shuddered when he saw the wolf skin next to him and the slippery wet clothes that had been changed out. In the future, whenever he saw Xue An again, he always couldn't help but think of that terrifying face.

Is it real or hallucinating?

Bilier had a feeling that the Xue An in front of him was no longer the Xue An. He couldn't say what it felt, although he remembered Xue An's life-saving grace in his heart, he no longer dared to get close to Xue An, and Xue An became more and more silent until he returned to the city in 77 and cut off contact from then on.

The photo taken out by Zhen Rui was the only photo taken by Bilier in that era, with a rabbit on the gun. Billier never told anyone about this matter, because on the night of the educated youth's return to the city, he had a 'dream', an extremely real 'dream'. He dreamed that Xue An, who had a strange fox face, was standing next to his bed, slowly lowered his head, and a fox mouth opened and bit at him, at that moment, he felt a threat that could not be expressed in words, as if if he said it, he would be destroyed.

When he got up the next day, there was an extra circle of tooth marks on his forehead, a small circle, which did not look like a human bite. So in fear, he tied his forehead and covered his teeth, and from then on, he buried this matter in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that we told him that Xue An had passed away, if it weren't for the trend of this old photo, he would definitely not have told this past. The old man Billier said that Xue An would become like that later, which must have something to do with that night in the desert, and he also hoped that he could make this matter clear in his lifetime and give himself and Xue An an explanation. However, Bilier is already old, and it is not suitable to enter the desert again, and the ruins have been covered with yellow sand, and it is difficult to say whether they can be found now.

"As long as he is willing to tell us the location," he asked. ”

Ouyang showed a look of invitation, stared at Zhen Rui, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already negotiated, we won't know the way in the desert, Billier will let his son show us the way." But his son Batu is now going to the city to sell goods, and it will take two days. ”

We had to wait, and two days later, Batu returned, a typical Mongolian man, dark-skinned, stout, and loud, who could speak a few simple words of Chinese, such as "Dinner" and "Hello".

Our equipment had already arrived, and Batu said that our equipment was not good, that the desert was very exhausting, and that we had to have livestock, so we prepared a few camels. At this time, there will also be tourists to go on desert cycling tours, but the travel line is a safe route opened up, and the route we are going to take is 108,000 miles away, the route we are taking, is facing the border line of Outer Mongolia, that area is the Gobi Desert landform, the area is very vast, inhuman, desolate, dead in that place, can not find the body.

However, this route is a popular route for some expeditions.

We helped Batu prepare some supplies for the desert, and then led the camel into Tengger, it was not too hot in April, according to the old man Billier's recollection, Batu will arrive at our destination around noon tomorrow, not too far.

In the afternoon, a round of red sun fell in the west, which was magnificent. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is quite large, so we collected some bushes to start a fire and eat something along the way. At this moment, Zhen Rui, who was sitting by the fire and had taken off his mask, suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction we came, revealing a thoughtful look.

I followed his gaze and saw the sand dunes we had climbed over not long ago, revealing soft lines and nothing else in sight. But Zhen Rui stood up, looked thoughtful, and then said to me, "Your follower is here." ”

Yes man?

I was stunned, said no, and then stood up violently, but my vision was limited, and the sand dunes were undulating, so I couldn't see the rest. Zhen Rui said lukewarmly: "I smell the smell of potato chips, over there, it should be him." He pointed in a direction and motioned for me to come over and take a look.

I knew that Zhen Rui was a great Wenjia, and his lungs were about to explode for a while, so he immediately rushed over, and Zhong Gong also came over to join in the fun. Turning over the sand dunes, I saw two people sitting under the sand dunes, who were they not Tofu and the corpse fairy?

Tofu is chewing potato chips with a click, no wonder Yuan Rui sniffs it and concludes that it's him, who the would go into the desert and do such a brainless thing with potato chips?

Tofu didn't realize it, and muttered to the corpse fairy: "We quietly followed, I always felt a little uneasy to let Lao Chen come alone, you said that we were all together in the next few fights, but as soon as we were suddenly separated, I felt that I had no bottom in my heart, and I always felt that something was going to happen." Let's follow secretly, and then come forward when there is a situation...... What are you staring at my potato chips? This is junk food, corpse fairies, corpse fairies, so it's also immortals, can you be a little high-minded? ”

"Still look at ......" Tofu was not happy, holding the potato chips away from the corpse fairy.
