Chapter 38: Don't
Ah Shui told me that he could not be contacted.
The last time Ma Yiao called him, he was still in a small town on the edge of Hami on the frontier, but after making the call, he entered Lop Nur - Lop Nur is located at the lowest point in the eastern part of the Tarim Basin, the easternmost edge of the Taklamakan Desert, because of its shape like a human ear, known as the "ear of the earth", also known as the "sea of death".
This place used to be a busy trade route on the Silk Road, but with the impact of climate change and human water conservancy projects, the water volume of the surrounding rivers has decreased, showing the status quo of saline-alkali land and desertification.
Once a vast Lop Nur, it is now integrated with the vast Taklamakan Desert and has become a place where no grass grows.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state has sent many scientific expeditions into Lop Nur to conduct historical and hydrological surveys, but there have been many accidents.
The most famous is the "Pisces Jade Pendant" incident that is rumored to be miraculous.
In a word, as the once prosperous artery of the Silk Road, and now the Sea of Death, Lop Nur is mysterious, and at the same time, it also hides great dangers.
Ma Yiao entered it alone in order to find the magic sound suona, but whether it can succeed depends on the destiny of heaven.
Moreover, he may not be able to catch up with this grand "performance".
I sighed, told Ah Shui all the information I got now, and asked him to tell Brother Ma when Ma Yiao regained contact.
Ah Shui and I are a friendship of life and death, and the trust between the two sides has gone far beyond the meaningful bond.
So I didn't have any precautions, and after Ah Shui listened, he asked me, "Will you go this time to encircle and suppress the Heart Eater?" ”
I thought for a moment and asked him, "If you were me, would you go?" ”
Ah Shui said without hesitation: "Of course I won't go." Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, eating so many official foods, taking money, and enjoying huge resources of the royal worship can't come out, so that you have nothing to do with the people waiting to go up to the pot, is this appropriate? If you want to go, let the gang of people take the money first, they have countless top-notch magic weapons in their hands, and they have been bathing in the elixir fairy grass since they were children, and their combat power must be so strong that they will be outstanding, and when these people are dead, you can go again, lest you resist the mind eater, and these people will turn around and plot against you, thinking about sharing meat from you to eat - it's a shame that you didn't cultivate the demon yuan, otherwise you will be swallowed in minutes......"
Ah Shui knows about my affairs, especially about Ye Fuguo's detention of Po Mu and his desperate refusal to hand it over, so there are no good words in his words.
I heard it and couldn't help but laugh.
I said that you should remember to help me tell Ma Yiao when the time comes.
After hanging up the phone, I suddenly wanted to smoke again, the last time Ping Xiaosi gave me the big front door, I had finished smoking, my heart was itchy, I couldn't help but go back to the convenience store to buy.
When I went there, the shopkeeper was watching the sitcom "I Love My Home", which was an old show, but it was quite interesting.
I asked for a pack of cigarettes, lit them, and watched them for a while, and when I saw the teasing, I couldn't help but laugh.
The boss looked at me, nodded kindly, I handed a cigarette over, he was not polite, took it, lit it with a lighter, took a puff, spit it out slowly, and then yawned.
I saw that his eyes were red, and I couldn't help asking, "Boss, there are not many guests in the middle of the night, why don't you close the door and sleep?" ”
The boss grinned and said that there was a factory around here, and at about half past four, there would be two groups of people who got off the night shift, and they would buy something when they passed by, and there were also some customers scattered at night. I am not a local, Guizhou, my family is poor, there is an old brother who broke his leg, it is the time to use money, I am in good health, I stay up late, the cousin stays up during the day, work hard, and the life can always go on......
I said so hard, huh?
The boss took a puff of cigarette, refreshed himself a little, and then said, "It's hard work, but it's also fun." On this street, there are not many people who open the night, and those who come to the door in the middle of the night are in a hurry, and they have become acquaintances, and being able to be needed is actually a kind of happiness - boss, right? ”
I was a little relieved when I heard this, so I snuffed out the cigarette holder and put it in the ashtray next to it, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The boss said, "Last name 6." ”
I carried a large bag of front door and returned to the phone booth.
This time I made a decision and called home.
In the middle of the night, it was very late, but the phone rang out all of a sudden, and my father's voice came from the other end: "Hey, who are you looking for?" ”
I felt a little stuffy in my nose, sniffed, and said, "Dad, it's me." ”
My father was a little surprised, and said Da Mo, why did you call me in the middle of the night? This isn't your phone number, where are you now?
I said I'm in the capital.
My father was stunned for a moment before he said, "Oh, is it cold in the capital now?" It's windy, isn't it? I've heard that the weather in the north isn't very good right now, and there's always a sandstorm or something, so you have to pay more attention to yourself, and ...... when you're out and about."
Hearing him nag like that, I really didn't get used to it.
In fact, my father has always been a more reticent person in my impression, but my mother is more verbose.
And at this moment, my father's greeting made me a little overwhelmed.
Because I felt, before I knew it, he was getting old.
I answered a few words, and then asked, "Where's Mom?" ”
Father said: "Your mother is still reconciling accounts, the store has been very busy recently, there are many people and chaos, and there are some changes in personnel, she is a worrying life, and she refuses to sleep until she finishes these accounts......
Hearing this, I was still a little sad, but I was somewhat relieved.
The original decision was right, rather than letting my parents "live in peace" in a mess, it is better to let them have their own careers, so that they will not be lonely and lonely because I am not with me, and even if I have any strengths and weaknesses, I will not always be immersed in the shadows and unable to get out.
I have my world, and they have their own lives.
I chatted with my father without saying a word, but knowing my son Mo Ruo's father, my father sensed my absent-mindedness, so he asked directly: "You kid, if you have anything, just say it directly, in the middle of the night, what kind of circle are you going around?" ”
When I heard it, I smiled bitterly, and then said, "Dad, I have something to do now, but it's very dangerous, and I may not be able to come back, so I'll call you to say goodbye." ”
When my father heard this, he was a little excited and asked, "What are you going to do?" Can you not do it? ”
I shook my head with a wry smile and said into the microphone, "No, I have to go, it's my responsibility." ”
The father on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said: "Now that you have grown up and have your own opinions, I can't stop you, and I don't know much about your affairs, but I hope you can be a little more measured, and when you encounter danger, you can avoid it, and if you can't avoid it, then don't lose the face of our old Hou family, you know?" ”
I didn't expect my father to say such a thing, and after a while, he said, "Okay." ”
My father asked, "Do you need to call your mother over to answer the phone?" ”
I said okay, but don't tell her about it, I'm afraid she'll think too much.
Father said don't worry, I know.
Then I talked to my mother for half an hour, and my mother on the other end of the phone was still nagging, chatting with me about some trivial things in the family, and talking about many business things, and then urging me to get married, in short, all kinds of trivialities, I was not happy to listen to these things before, they were all annoying, but now I seemed very serious, patiently listening to her nagging, until she was annoyed with me and hung up the phone.
After I hung up the phone, I took a deep breath of the cold night air, became more energetic, and went to the street to hail a taxi.
It was late at night, and there were very few taxis on the street, so I waited for a long time before I got one.
The taxi stopped on the side of the road, and the driver rolled down the window, yawned and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
I said let's go to Lugu (BB) Mountain.
The driver was startled and subconsciously stepped on the accelerator.
When I saw his expression of meeting a ghost, I couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Don't be afraid, take a closer look, I, the big living person." ”
The driver said in a Beijing accent: "Hey, master, what kind of trouble are you doing, in the middle of the night, go to Lugu Mountain?" ”
I said don't worry, on Lugu Mountain, all the people buried are upright, righteous and masculine, and they can't trouble you.
The driver looked at me with a righteous look, so I got into the car, and then walked forward, while talking to me, wanting to explore my details, but I was also tired at this time, where did I dare to talk to this Beijing Kanye, chatted a few words, and closed my eyes.
By the time I woke up, I had already arrived at the place, and my brother was patting me on the shoulder and urging me.
I paid the bill, got out of the car, walked around Lugu Mountain for a while, and then felt inside.
At this time, the sky is already dark.
The reason why I came to this place is not for other reasons, but I remember when I chatted with Xiaoqu before, he told me that he always heard the news that the big people are buried in Lugu Mountain, and if he dies in the future, he can be buried there, and it is worth it to not come to this world in vain.
Before I left the mountain, I remembered this experience and talked to Wang Daming in front of the mountain gate, and he also agreed with me to do so.
That's why I'm here.
Lugu Mountain is what people often call BB Mountain, ordinary people can't get in, I don't know much about this Feng Shui, and I'm afraid of being disturbed, so I didn't go next to the cemetery, but reluctantly found a sunny slope, dug a pit, and buried the small song.
When I was done, I cut a wooden tombstone with my own hands and wrote five words on it.
The Tomb of Qu Wushan.
Touching the tombstone, I seemed to see the young man who killed Matt with a heartless smile on his face, making fools of me.
I tidied up my surroundings again, then patted the floating dirt and whispered, "Go all the way." ”
Turn around and see you in the next life.
