Chapter 10: The Ghost Suo



Jin Operator said: "Yes, but there are more bizarre things. ”

Bizarre?

The fat man was excited when he heard it, and said that he was in a hurry in the middle of the night, it was boring, and there were some bizarre things, you can talk about it.

Jin Operator thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll tell you one, this is a real thing, and it's definitely not a blow." Then, Jin Operator told us about a bizarre incident that he had encountered when he first arrived in Tianhena, in order to pass the dreary journey in the desert at night.

Jin Operator said that he was an orphan since he was a child, and when he was seven or eight years old, he was accepted as an apprentice by the craftsman Porcelain King Li in Beijing, and learned the craft of identifying porcelain and making Xibei goods. When Jin Operator was young, he relied on his fake and real imitation stunts, and he became popular in Beijing, and he met the fat man and his gang one after another, and also followed the inverted fight, and later met the current Xinjiang wife.

Jin Shuanzi had no relatives since he was a child, and after forming a family with a Xinjiang girl, he was very affectionate, and served his wife's parents as his own parents, so he abandoned the bustling Beijing and moved to Urumqi to start a tourism business in Tianhena.

His wife's name is Gu Li, the family is engaged in cattle and sheep breeding, when Jin Operator first arrived in Urumqi, he was not used to the climate here, but in order to have a home, he worked hard to adapt to life here, lived for half a month, and then followed Abba to learn to herd cattle and sheep.

Urumqi was catching up with the new construction, building buildings were being built everywhere, the pastures engaged in breeding were far away, often the men in the family were in turn, half a month to change once, because the gold operator had no experience, Abba took him for a month, the location was 20 kilometers away from Urumqi away from the grassland, the grassland is the largest grassland in the local area, the boundary of the grassland stretches into the desert, some modern scientists estimate that although this grassland is very large, but if the speed of desertification can not be reduced, then another hundred years, That meadow will be swallowed up by the desert.

In the days of grazing, live in a simple tent, similar to a yurt, drive the cattle and sheep out in the early morning, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the cattle and sheep will be driven back, in order to bring the gold operator familiar with the terrain, that day Abba shouted the cattle and sheep to go farther than usual, the gold operator's Abba is a silent honest man, he feels that the family walks on the road, not saying a word is very embarrassing, so he found a topic to talk to Abba.

First of all, he talked about his own affairs in Beijing, but Abba has not been to many places, and he is very confused about Beijing, and there is no way to answer the phone with Jin Operator, and finally Jin Operator simply talked about the grassland, as soon as he said that Abba of the grassland came to the momentum, from spring to winter, the four seasons of the year, the changes of the grassland, and the head of the road is the Tao. When Jin Operator saw that there was a door, he could vigorously pick topics related to the grassland, and who knew that in the end, when it came to the issue of grassland desertification.

Abba has no culture, he doesn't understand how the grassland can become a desert, Jin Operator used a lot of scientific explanations, Abba still disagrees, he has his own set of theories, so Abba told Jin Operator a legend about the desertification of the grassland.

Most people in Xinjiang believe in Islam, and they believe that everything belongs to Allah, which the Uighurs call Huda, and Huda is the master of all truth.

Legend has it that a long time ago, Hu Da appointed the herdsman Gasda to manage the grassland, and the loyal Gasda took care of the grassland very well, the cattle and sheep were fat, and the water and grass were abundant. Hu Da sensed this, so he was very angry, and said to Gasida: "From now on, this grassland will gradually be covered by yellow sand, cattle and sheep will die of hunger, and the water will be cut off by the scorching sun.

Since then, the grassland has turned into a desert overnight, and Hu Da has been merciful and left a grassland on the edge of the desert for human habitation.

Jin Operator is a typical materialism, he only listened to it as a story, but Abba's words were hung up, usually not much, and now as soon as the conversation box is opened, it is like a flood, Jin Operator in order to please the old man, but also follow the world, but accidentally delayed the hour.

In the autumn of the grassland, it was dark at six o'clock, and the cattle and sheep fell into the night, so they divided into several piles and slept together, and it took a lot of effort for Jin Operator and Abba to drive them together, and at a glance Abba found that something was wrong, and said: "There are fewer sheep." ”

Abba is very familiar with sheep, and he can see it at a glance, but Jin Operator didn't notice anything wrong, more than thirty sheep, black pressed one, where to divide it, in order to confirm the number, the two of them lit torches, counted one by one in the dark, and as a result, there were three sheep missing.

Twenty years ago, the three sheep were sold, enough for the family's living expenses for four months, this loss Abba was anxious, let Jin Operator drive the cattle and sheep back to the tent first, he had to find the lost sheep, otherwise when the day dawned, the sheep would be wild outside for a day, and they would not be able to distinguish between breaking into other people's sheep pens, and they would be completely lost at that time.

Jin Operator has just learned to ride a horse, not to mention driving more than 30 sheep home on the dark grassland, although he doesn't want his father-in-law to look down on him, but this job really can't be taken, maybe he can't even lose these 30 sheep, so he has to explain with a shy face.

Abba thought that this was also the case, so he did not force Jin Operator to drive the sheep home, so he said to Jin Operator: "When I find the sheep, it will be too late to go back, so I will be here tonight." ”

Abba is a veteran, he only needs to whistle when he drives the sheep, and the sheep are familiar with the whistle, and the whistle will follow wherever it goes. Abba said, "When the orphaned sheep are scattered, when they hear the call of the flock, they will run to them." Jin Operator held a torch to light the way, along the way, the cries of cattle and sheep came and went, and the two walked for an hour, and there was no trace of the lonely sheep.

This has never happened before, Abba looked into the distance, worried, and said, "Don't be caught by the grass shuttle." ”

Jin Operator felt strange and said, "This...... Can grass still eat sheep? He originally wanted to say that it was too, but when he spoke to his father-in-law, he still had to be polite, and after considering the wording, he asked such a sentence.

Abba said, "Look, if you go any further, the grass will grow into the sand, and it will be the edge of the desert. ”

Jin Operator felt a little funny, but seeing Abba's worried expression, he said: "You've been tired for a day, why don't you stick here first, I'll look for a section further, if I really can't find it, there's no way." ”

Ah Dad sighed when he heard it, he was also old, so he took the sheep to the spot, Jin Operator drove five sheep and continued to walk forward, the sheep were also tired, and he wanted to lie down after walking for a while, Jin Operator took a whip and whipped it, the sheep screamed miserably, and the bleating sound trembled in the wind, which was a little infiltrating.

He held the torch and looked for most of the circle, and his feet had already stepped into the desert, where there were a lot of grass shuttles, and if he walked further, even the shuttles could not be seen, and Jin Shuanzi thought: The sheep will not be so stupid, they will not go into the desert by themselves, and there is no grass in the desert.

The grass is bitter, and there is no water, the sheep never eat it, even if Jin Operator is a layman, he also knows that cattle and sheep will not run into the desert on their own. He sighed, touched his nose, and was about to give up, thinking: This time I should be scolded by Gu Li, the first time I herded sheep, I lost three, remembering the wrinkles on my father-in-law's face, Jin Operator was upset, and saw that the torch was burning to his head, and Jin Operator was about to drive five sheep to meet Abba, but in a blink of an eye, he seemed to see the end of the fire, and there seemed to be a sheep.

Jin Operator was overjoyed, raised the torch and squinted his eyes, it was really a sheep, a little far away, and actually ran into the desert.

Jin Operator scolded: "Stupid beast, you can't gain weight by going to the desert to gnaw sand." After he finished scolding, he hurriedly raised the torch and went deep into the desert. The place where the desert and the grassland meet, due to the location, is very different, some are hard soils with a thin layer of sand on top, and some are deep sand out of the grasslands, according to scientists, this is due to the difference in the geothermal heat of the ground.

Abba believes that the hard soil and thin sand are because the grassland is gradually defeating the desert, of course, Jin Operator has no way to convince Abba, and he doesn't plan to persuade at all. Rushing to the location of the sheep with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Jin Operator felt that something was wrong, it didn't seem to be his own sheep.

The sheep is so skinny that it can almost be said to be skinny.

The snow-white wool is very beautiful in the firelight, but the body is too thin, the golden operator has walked to a position less than one meter away from the sheep, and the sheep does not wake up, they all say that the sheep is smart, but the sheep in front of him is like a fool.

Jin Operator kicked it with his foot, ready to kick the sheep awake, but with one kick, he kicked a hard thing, like a bone.

Strange, why is there no flesh at all?

Jin Operator hurriedly stepped forward, leaned over to look, and suddenly felt that the goosebumps on his body were up, only to see this sheep, four hooves were stuck in the sand, but the meat under the skin seemed to be gnawed away, leaving only a layer of sheepskin on the bones.

Jin Operator was startled, how did this sheep become like this?

Then he noticed that there was an iron ring on the sheep's ear, and this was not the mark of his own sheep. Have you ever lost a sheep before?

Jin Operator felt a little infiltrated, and was about to go back when he suddenly heard the sound of rustling in his ears, and at the same time, he found that the grass shuttle on the ground seemed to move, as if it was going to come out of the soil, Jin Operator took a step back in fright, remembering what the old man had just said, plus he was the only one left in the dark desert, so he was a little timid, so he turned around and ran, and the five sheep on the edge of the grassland also seemed to be frightened, bleating, running around.

Jin Operator was afraid that the sheep would run away, so he shouted, "Beasts, be quiet." Of course the sheep will not listen to him, and after a while, he ran away without a shadow, Jin Operator stomped his feet anxiously, he earned a lot of money in Beijing, so he didn't care about this sheep, but the old man was different, these sheep were the lifeblood of the old man, and he lost five at once, and the old man had to be angry to death.

Just when Jin Operator regretted not falling, he suddenly heard a terrible scream, it was the cry of a sheep, as if it was being gnawed alive again, and the sound was very penetrating.

When did the sheep run behind them?

Jin Operator hurriedly turned around, only to see a sheep running into the sand at some point, its four hooves as if fixed by something, firmly stuck in the sand and unable to move, but its body was swinging violently.

At the same time, the sand suddenly arched into a line, as if something was crawling underneath, and at the same time, the sheep also fell to the ground softly after screaming, and the golden operator looked hairy, because the skin on the sheep's body also suddenly softened, exactly the same as the one he had just found.

What the hell is under the sand?

Just when Jin Operator saw sweat on his forehead, those thin lines in the sand suddenly began to swim towards him, pushing deeper and deeper, Jin Operator realized that his feet were still stepping on the sand, he hurriedly ran to the grass, and as soon as those thin lines reached the range of the grass, they immediately softened, and the sand returned to leveling, as if nothing had happened.

When Jin Operator said this, he looked at the two of us and said, "At that time, I thought, is that the legend of Hu Da true?" ”

The fat man hurriedly scolded: "In the middle of the night, I thought you could tell a cowherd and a weaver girl, but as a fucking cow ghost and snake god, you deliberately scare our Comrade Xiao Wu, what kind of heart." ”

Jin Operator led the way in front and said: "I see that Xiao Wu listens quietly, it is you who is scared, dead fat, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are still fat and timid." I thought it was interesting to hear this, the fat man, I never felt that he was timid, and I couldn't help asking: "Why, this dead fat man was very timid before?" ”

The fat man was anxious when he heard it, and said: "Innocent, why do you follow this golden retriever's roar and coax, fat man, I can catch the phoenix in the sky, and I can catch the dragon in the sea, and the zongzi will call grandpa ......when I see it."

The fat man didn't finish speaking, he was directly ignored by Jin Operator, Jin Operator smiled: "Xiao Wu, you are too young, this fat man was as young as you, and he had just gotten off the fight at that time, you didn't see his cowardice, damn it, let me tell you, at that time, we ......"

As soon as the fat man heard that the old man was about to be shaken out, he hurriedly shouted at the camel to step forward, sat on the camel and kicked the golden operator, and scolded: "Golden retriever roar, what kind of heart do you have, who hasn't lived a period of cowardice?" You fucking mouth full of cannons, you were all shaken out of the shit back then, I shook it out all the fat man, isn't it just a story, the fat man is better than you. ”

I saw that the fat man was really mad, and I was curious and funny, so I said to Jin Operator: "Let's stop here, this fat man's instigating deeds, let's communicate privately when we have time." ”

When Jin Operator heard this, he grinned and said, "Okay, when the time comes, please eat authentic roasted whole sheep, let's eat while eating." ”

The fat man was angry next to him, and he kicked me and the camel of the gold operator, and the camel was frightened, and suddenly spread his hooves and ran wildly in the desert, and the gold operator quickly stabilized, but the poor just learned to ride the camel, it ran wildly, and almost shook out my intestines, and the gold operator hurriedly shouted at the camel to catch up, and taught me how to tame, I temporarily crammed and stabilized for half a day.

The two of us took turns to mentally attack the fat man, but the fat man couldn't resist it, and the apology was over.

Listening to Jin Operator's words, I suddenly felt that this trip to the desert might not be too smooth, and subconsciously looked at the sand under my feet, which was pitch black, and in the faint light of the flashlight, it seemed faint, and farther away, it was completely dark.

Then we chatted and farted all the way, rode camels, it was always windy at night, and at first we would pat the sand on our bodies, but then we didn't bother to pay attention, and when we drove in the dark for nearly four hours, we climbed over a sand dune, and not far away, there was an orange fire.
