I already had a story in my head, so I said slowly, "Do you remember that copy?" Actually, my grandfather passed it on to me. My grandfather joined the army, 60 years ago participated in the Xinjiang bandits, when he was only in his twenties, when they chased the bandits deep into the desert, the result was also a black storm, lost in the desert, all the way into the hinterland of the desert, my grandfather died there, the only living comrade-in-arms brought back this thing, when he was found, he was crazy, I have been trying to figure out, where they went, what they encountered. But this thing is in the hands of my father's generation, and it has been put aside for decades, and my father has inquired in many ways, but there is no result, if it weren't for Professor Shi, I'm afraid I won't be able to spy on it to this day, so Dr. Zhang, we entered the desert for no other purpose, the only thing I want to know is my grandfather's whereabouts. We Chinese pay attention to entering the soil for safety, if this trip can bring back my grandfather's body, it will be worth it. ”

The fat man cooperated very well, patted my shoulder with a heavy expression, and then sighed and said, "I want to open some." ”

After I finished speaking, I looked at the surnamed Zhang out of the corner of my eye, and she was obviously considering the truth of what I said, that the bandits in Xinjiang 60 years ago did exist, and that at that time, due to backward communications, many soldiers who pursued the bandits entered the desert and never came out again. Dr. Zhang frowned and thought for a while, and then said, "Then do you still insist on moving forward now?" ”

I lowered my head, pretending to be struggling with my thoughts, and only after a moment did I raise my head, grit my teeth, and say, "Go." ”

"Okay, you three, you can follow us on the road, but this time we are very serious archaeological activities, everything must be under my command, otherwise I will not be responsible for what happens. Do you have any comments? ”

The fat man and I hurriedly said that we had no opinion.

The German beauty was obviously very interested in me and the fat man, and came over to talk in Chinese that was not very fluent, and I was too lazy to pay attention to her, and sent a few sentences, so I asked the surname Zhang: "What happened to the gunfire just now?" ”

Dr. Zhang asked, "What gunshot?" ”

I was stunned, this woman is playing with me? The gun statement was clearly coming from around here, didn't they hear it? At this time, the German beauty also said curiously: "Mr. Wu, was there a gunshot just now?" How did we not hear. ”

At this time, the fat man suddenly pinched my waist without a trace, and immediately waved his hand at the German beauty and said: "Mr. Wu Erbei, I heard it wrong, what about your bonfire party in the middle of the night?" ”

At this time, a young man with glasses next to him tore open a packet of compressed beef and said, "I was about to eat, you guys should come together, but we don't have much rations, save some." I think this young man is very enthusiastic, in line with the principle of one more friend and one more road, and was about to talk to him a few words, when a cold voice came from the side: "We don't have much rations, they are three big men, can't they solve it by themselves?" Four-eyed, what do you care? ”

When he heard this, the fat man became angry, and immediately scolded: "Damn, will you say another word to the fat man?" Believe it or not, Lao Tzu collapsed you! I turned my head to look, and it was the man in his forties, short in stature, but very strong, expressionless, with the flesh of his cheeks drooping, looking unsmiling, and now looking at the fat man with cold eyes.

The fat man's words just now, the gangster was too heavy, and he was about to take a gun to destroy people as soon as he spoke, which immediately caused the surname Zhang to be full, I saw her brows furrowed, and quickly got up and kicked the fat man, scolding: "What so much, you haven't eaten cactus, and then dig two more." ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the fat man.

The fat man understood, suppressed the anger, muttered a few words in his mouth, and sat down by the fire.

The desert at night was very cold, cold mixed with strong winds, dry and cold, at this time, Jin Operator suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "This young lady, where is the guide Afanda?" He asked about the surname Zhang.

The surnamed Zhang was holding a map and looking at it, and when I heard the words, I raised my head, and the deep outline had a mixed Eastern and Western beauty, and I thought to myself, is she a mixed race?

"We were a group of eleven people, and when we encountered the sinking sand, we were separated."

I counted the number of people, Dr. Zhang, and now there are only five people left, three men and two women, plus our joining, there are eight people in total. Then among the scattered people, plus Afanda, there were seven in all.

The storm outside is so big, could these seven people have already been killed?

I looked at Jin Operator, and his expression was a little solemn. The fat man asked him what was wrong, why he put on a sad face.

Jin Operator shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much." Then he said no more.

During the meal, the surname Zhang still gave us food and water, although it was not much, but it was considered to accept us. After the group finished eating, Dr. Zhang arranged for people to keep vigil and divided them into three classes, the first class was me and the fat man, the second class was Jin Operator and the middle-aged man, and the third class was the four-eyed and another young man.

In addition to the unsociable middle-aged man, I know the names of the others, the name of the four eyes is Li Yangping, the other young man is called Lu Zhou, the Chinese name of the German beauty is Zhao Zilong, the reason is that after this beauty watched the Three Kingdoms, she worshiped Zhao Zilong, so she gave herself this Chinese name, and called Zhao Zilong to a beautiful woman, I really couldn't call it, so I called her Xiaolongnu, and she laughed a lot.

After a meal, I am familiar with them, I am a businessman, Lala interpersonal relationship is still relatively good, especially the fat man's personality is very popular, except for the middle-aged man who does not know the name, the remaining three are all with us, laughing and laughing, during the period, the surname Zhang more than once warned me with his eyes, do not bring bad discipline to her team.

After eating and drinking, everyone went to sleep, and the fat man and I sat by the fire and kept vigil, completely devoid of the cheerful expression we had just had.

About an hour later, when I estimated that all the people in the earthen wall were asleep, I spoke, "What do you think?" ”

The fat man pointed in the direction of the door and said, "The surname Zhang must know something, she is pretending to be stupid." ”

Yes, the gunshot was definitely not my auditory hallucination, and besides, it was impossible for three people to have auditory hallucinations at the same time, not only the surname Zhang, but everyone in her team put on a look of no emotion, obviously, they were hiding something.

Why is there a gunshot in such a dark night? Is there any danger, or is there something else?

I touched my body, there were still a few cigarettes left, and I threw one at the fat man, and neither of them spoke again.

I don't know what the fat man is thinking at the moment, but I think about it a lot, in addition to the stuffy oil bottle, there are many things, such as the matter of Lao Jiumen. I didn't know the reason for Xie Yuhua's personality change before, but now I understand that in order to keep the Xie family, he was already going to go abroad to bleach, but he had to be involved again, strictly speaking, Xiaohua has succumbed to 'it'.

The last time I cracked down on counterfeiting, I can't help but be afraid when I think about it, the Wu family, the Xie family, the Huo family, not to mention the right, even the wealth is not something that ordinary people can provoke, and what they do is unimaginable to the world, but even such a family seems so powerless in front of it, and in just one night, the Wu family was almost subverted.

Compared with Xiaohua, I didn't give in.

Passerby A said to me that night: There are two things that are irresistible in a person's life, one is the law of nature, the other is the law of society, and it is the law of this society. The law of nature is birth, old age, sickness, and death, and people cannot choose their own birth, starting from childhood, and then slowly aging, in just a few decades, fighting against disease until death. It seems like a simple four words, but people can't resist it. Throughout the ages, how many princes and princes have hoped to get rid of the laws of nature and pursue immortality, but after all, it is a dream and has not entered the loess.

And the laws of society are also inextricably linked, and I think that even a stuffy oil bottle cannot completely get rid of the laws of this society, let alone me.

I want to save the stuffy oil bottle, but I'm more worried that if it can't get what it wants, then what will our Wu family face? What is recorded in the other half of the Sutra?

At this time, the fat man said: "This doctor Zhang seems to take care of us now, don't worry, if you enter the hinterland of the desert, if you really can't do it, we can go as if we grab the equipment." "I just secretly glanced at the equipment brought by Dr. Zhang and his party, it is very complete, and there are guns, but there are not many of them, after all, they are cultural people, and they must not be good at guns or anything.

I didn't refute the fat man's statement, now we have lost our equipment, with the surname Zhang is a sent person under the fence, she is in a good mood can share a bite to eat, in a bad mood, I and the fat man can only dig cacti to live, once into the desert hinterland, I'm afraid that even the cactus is not eaten, and then I'm afraid there will really be a robbery drama.

But I still felt that this was inappropriate, so I said to the fat man: "Until the last moment, let's not do this kind of thing, after all, the surname Zhang can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow, without her, let's not talk about going in, I'm afraid this desert can't get out." ”

The fat man smiled and said, "Damn, you're soft-hearted." We chatted for a long time, the time was about the same, and I woke up Jin Operator and the middle-aged man to change shifts, about too long to sleep during the day, and now there is no sleepiness, the four eyes fell asleep next to me, Si Swenwen, unlike the fat man, snoring as soon as he closed his eyes, I lay on the ground and tossed for a long time before I fell asleep, I was dazed and I don't know how long, I heard a noise in the room, I barely opened my eyes, and found that the Jin Operator's shift had passed, and it was the turn of the Four Eyes and Lu Zhou to keep vigil, and then, the Jin Operator fell asleep next to me, and I closed my eyes.

Somehow, I slept so deeply that I couldn't wake up at all, as if I had been caught in a nightmare, and then someone kicked me in the ass, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the fat man's angry expression.

I was stunned, and thought, even if you sleep for a while, you don't have to have an expression like I robbed your wife, right?

Just as he was about to speak, the fat man hurriedly scolded: "Damn, Jin Operator can actually do such a thing, his head is really gnawed by a dog." "I came to my senses all of a sudden, and found that the faces of the people in the room were not very good, especially the surname Zhang, whose beautiful faces were expressionless, and the eyes of the fat man who looked at me and the fat man were very cold.

I was completely sleepy now, and I looked around, but I didn't see the figure of the golden operator, so I looked at the fat man and said, "What's the matter?" The fat man's face was not good-looking, and he pointed to the place where the equipment was placed in the corner of the wall, and said, "Jin Operator rolled up a bag of equipment and ran away?" I really lured the wolf into the house this time, naïve, I'm sorry. When the fat man said about me, the surnamed Zhang said coldly and said, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wang, should you give me an explanation." ”

I got up from the ground, and I couldn't react for a while, and the gold operator roll equipment ran away? Listening to the sound, the wind and sand outside are still very strong, how can he run like this? Not to mention that it is very dangerous for him to walk alone in the desert, just the black wind outside can still blow others into the sky, how could he do such a stupid thing?

Suddenly, I thought of a point, Jin Operator is the second shift, he fell asleep directly next to me after changing shifts, at that time there was a bonfire set up outside the room, there were Four Eyes and Lu Zhou vigil, Jin Operator was alone, how did he roll up the equipment and go?

I felt that something was wrong with this matter, so I didn't answer the surname Zhang, but asked the fat man, "What's going on, tell me in detail." ”

The fat man shook his head, pointed to his four eyes, and said, "They found out first." ”

Then, without waiting for me to ask, Four Eyes took the initiative to explain the process. He said that he and Lu Zhou began to be sleepy at about six o'clock in the night, and in the morning of the desert, it was still dark at six o'clock, and there was no danger all night, so they agreed that one person would keep watch, and the other person would take a nap by the fire, but the four eyes kept watch, and somehow they fell asleep, and when they looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

He quickly woke up Lu Zhou, and then woke up the people in the room one by one, when he found that there was one missing equipment bag, and the gold operator was gone.

So, Jin Operator slipped away while the Four Eyes and Lu Zhou were napping?

I still feel that something is wrong, Jin Operator is not such a stupid person, if I were him, even if I wanted to roll up the equipment and run, I would choose to wait for the wind and sand to stop, and now I rolled up the equipment, and I can't get out of the desert, I can only hide in the oasis, when the time comes, Dr. Zhang and his party will inevitably conduct a large-scale search, and it is only a matter of time before they are discovered, so didn't Jin Operator think of this?

Things were wrong, but I couldn't find the point.

At this moment, Dr. Zhang got up and said, "We are separated from the big team now, every piece of equipment on our body is very important, there is a lot of wind and sand outside, he doesn't dare to go out, now let's immediately split up and look for it, we must find it." Sure enough, the surnamed Zhang reacted quickly and immediately ordered someone to be found.

There are now a total of seven people left, and because of the relationship between the golden operator, the image of me and the fat man was reduced to the lowest, and finally Dr. Zhang and we were in a group, and we were divided into three groups, with equipment on our backs, and headed in different directions.
