Chapter 47: Vigilance
The underworld is in the wind and snow, and the city is in the fourth volume, and the ghost shadow is in the fourth volume, and the forty-seventh chapter of the alert Taoist priest is gone, and I didn't ask him his name, anyway, his surname should be Zhang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoI feel like I'm getting more and more confused, and I don't even have the last bit of brains. But what should I do? Where should I go next? I was still lying in the ruins of Tongwan City, thinking with my undeveloped mind. I suddenly want to go home and see, it's been almost half a year since I left home, and the people don't look like people and ghosts, what do you say when you go back?
I suddenly remembered Brother Cheng, isn't the place where Brother Cheng went to university in Gansu? I'm already in Shaanxi now, and I'm walking a little way to the west. This is a good idea, so I went to Gansu to see him. I called home during the Spring Festival, Brother Cheng didn't come home, and I called him, but he didn't answer, I don't know why he was so busy when he went to school. What if I told him about it? He should be better able to bear it than the rest of the family, right?
Seeing that it was noon, I dialed Brother Cheng's phone, and this time it was actually dialed smoothly.
Me: "Brother Cheng, I'm Hiroko, how is your college life?"
Brother Cheng: "Oh, Bozi, I'm ・・・・・・ okay, it's good." Where are you?"
Me: "I'm traveling around the world, I'm not far from you now, I want to go and see you, don't you bother?"
Brother Cheng: "I'm not in school now, when will you arrive? I'll be back at school in two days." ”
Me: "Well, I didn't get there, but where are you?"
Brother Cheng: "I'm doing geological homework outside, you can come to Lanzhou, I guess you'll be there too." ”
Me: "Alright then, let's talk." ”
After hanging up the phone, I was still sitting and thinking, and suddenly my nerves jumped, I didn't seem to say where I was, how did I feel as if Brother Cheng knew where I was? The first time I wanted to become excited, but it was for Brother Cheng, and I was a little confused. I immediately got in the car, found the path and headed south.
I thought about a lot of things along the way, and I was a little creepy when I thought about it. My experience really looks like someone is arranging and controlling it if I can tell it myself, but fortunately there are some things that I don't know how to believe that there is nothing to doubt. More and more, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me, and it felt both exciting and terrifying. Needless to say, the fear is naturally exciting, since someone is there, then everything has a clue.
I didn't go directly to Lanzhou, but instead diverted to Xi'an, and found a reliable garage in the suburbs to put the car away. Then I put a little effort into cleaning up myself, washing and cutting my hair, changing into a dress that changed a lot from my denim jacket, a navy blue shirt, a dark gray plaid small neck suit, shiny leather shoes, and a shoulder bag that looked like the salesman's back. In short, it was a look that could not be found in the crowd, the treasure knife, the gold bottle and the night pearl, and the pistol were all placed in another place, and it took two days to make meticulous arrangements, buy a ticket and get on the train.
On the train, I carefully perceived and pondered the people around me, and found that almost everyone was suspicious if I looked at it with a suspicious eye, and I don't think it would be, right? If someone is still spying on me, then everything I have done in Xi'an is in vain, and my sword and other things may be exposed. But at least I didn't find anyone who could, and I'm extremely low-key. I told the conductor that I had motion sickness, and it would be better to sit by the window and look out the window. There is also a peaked cap over the face. The conductor was very considerate, and when I got on the train, I found that the seat was not only by the window, but also close to the junction of the carriages, and on the other side of the junction was the sleeper car.
I didn't sit in the sleeper car because I didn't think the space was good. It was some distance from Xi'an to get back to Xi'an, and I had already lost patience with the people around me and turned my face out of the train window. It was late at night, it was dark outside, and the windows clearly reflected the reflection of what was inside the train, and I observed it inadvertently. It was inadvertently that a figure swept past the reflection of the train window and headed for the sleeper car. I am not familiar with this figure, but the appearance is very different from my imagination, and the figure is obviously Brother Cheng. I grew up with him, and I could feel it even without watching him walk past me. But his face was no longer the white and pure face of Brother Cheng I knew, it was almost a beard, and dirty. It's just as dirty, but it's not the kind of beggar's dirt, it should be caused by some kind of work, like a work clothes. He looked very tired, and he flashed in a hurry. I was excited, but I wasn't sure it was him, but I was strange, and I got up and dodged in front of the two small Uighur old men beside me into the aisle and followed him to the sleeper car. I entered the sleeper compartment, I couldn't see Brother Cheng's figure anymore, I pressed down the brim of my hat and lowered my head and walked forward with my chest, glanced at each bunk, and when I got to the third bunk, I saw Brother Cheng climbing up the middle bunk, still communicating with a person opposite.
Actually, it's not that I don't want to recognize him, but I suspect that he knows my whereabouts and want to know more about him. All I had prepared was because I was a little suspicious of him, and there were people in the bunks near him, so I could only pause in the small seat opposite the wrong place and listen to what was strange about their conversation, but fortunately I had a very sensitive feeling, but I could only hear their simple conversation. I only heard Brother Cheng say in a low voice: "Professor, professor, boiling water is here, can you take a sip?"
The man on the opposite bunk also looked tired, already asleep, breathing calmly. Brother Cheng didn't speak, and lay down gently. At this time, I heard a person in the lower bunk next door opposite Brother Cheng say a word, and the voice was not loud, but I was sensitive enough to hear it, maybe not to hear it but to feel it. "Do you think there will be people around us watching us?"
The man across from him seemed to think for a moment, "Possibly, but I don't believe much, unless one of us has a background in that organization." ”
"It's also possible, I think that Liu Chengcheng is unreliable, why does the professor like him so much?" The person on the other side didn't speak, as if thinking.
I was lying on the small table pretending to be sleepy, and when I heard this conversation, I was shocked, could it be that those two people were also with Brother Cheng? It seems that some of them don't trust Brother Cheng, but the old professor does. But how do I think that Brother Cheng's university is not about studying, but about participating in some organization or project. Are you still afraid of being watched or something, is there any secret? I was thinking wildly, and someone came out of the sleeper next door behind Brother Cheng. That's why I say this because the little table I'm sitting at is across the street from this bunk. The man was tall, and he got up on the lower bunk, rubbed past me, and walked slowly towards the carriage where I was seated. He kept his eyes on me until he walked into the bathroom. After a while he came out and stared at me with those eyes and walked back slowly, sitting in the middle of his bunk with a side face still staring at me, and I was still lying on the little table and not moving. He stared at me for a moment, and then suddenly he moved to me and sat down on the side of the bunk near me, and reached out to pat me, and I slowly looked up and looked at him.
He said, "What are you doing here?"
Me: "Oh, it's a bit noisy over there, I want to be quiet, it's better now." With that, I got up and walked back.
He was still staring at me and getting up, and suddenly he reached out and tried to grab me by the collar from behind, and I didn't even see him subtly bow his head, and he grabbed the air and got up and ran towards me. I hurried, quickly turned the corner and returned to the car where I was seated, and walked straight through the car to the rear without stopping. He didn't stop for a moment, walked two carriages, came to a carriage junction, and turned his head to look behind him. The figure of the strong man was just over half of the carriage behind me. I saw that he was chasing after him, okay, let's take a look. As soon as he saw this guy arrive, he turned left and grabbed me by the collar with his right hand, and with my left hand, I grabbed his thumb and gently broke it on the outside of his right shoulder, and the strong man immediately twisted his face and knelt down on one knee with his right leg. This is a simple grappling technique, if Brother Cheng is in front of him, don't look at him as strong as this strong man, I may not be able to control him so easily. But this strong man obviously has no training in grappling, and at the moment he is kneeling in front of me, a little man, with his mouth wide open, wanting to call silently.
I squeezed my right fist and swung it in front of him to stop, the strong man's nose was almost not crooked, and I said, "What are you doing with me?"
"You, what are you doing, why are you eavesdropping on us?"
"How many of you are together?"
"That's a lot! What do you want to do?"
I used a little force, and the strong man grinned fiercely, and I said, "Did I ask you or did you ask me?"
"Alright, alright, seven of us. ”
"What for?"
"For those who do business, go to Lanzhou to receive goods. ”
I don't think it's that simple, but if he doesn't want to say it, I can't do anything to him, in case he is with Brother Cheng, it's hard to say if he is seriously injured, I can only lie to him. "You fart, when I don't know, what did the professor take you to find?"
Now the strong man's face changed, "You, how do you know?"
"Do you say or don't you say?" I pressed a little harder.
"We're archaeology, what do you want to do?"
"Archaeology? What are people staring at you for? What did you find?"
