469 Wizard 2
“…… I'm fine! Deputy Xu walked forward for dozens of meters, stood on the dirt slope and looked at the width and speed of the river, and was very confident.
"I know how to swim...... Why don't you go back and ask the ferry owner? The man with glasses pulled his hips a little, and even retreated.
"You've never been here?" Hong Tao was a little puzzled, it is said that the rebels have been active in southern Xinjiang for so many years, how could they send such an important person who seems to be neither effective nor knows the way.
"It's been half a year since Ruoqiang was controlled by that group of unidentified gunmen. We lost eight people on the way, including two guides who were familiar with the environment. I'm sorry, Representative Xu, I didn't tell the truth before...... But we really need help! ”
Now the man with glasses has to tell the truth, he didn't want the rebels to look so weak, not because he was afraid of losing face, but because he was afraid that he would be too passive in cooperation and completely fall into a subordinate position.
"The three of them ......" Representative Xu was not angry because she was deceived, she was very concerned about the safety of the other three.
"They are about as dangerous as us, there are unknown gunmen in the south, and it is not very calm in the west. The Redeemer had already increased their control over Kuqa a few months ago, sending out many penance pursuit squads. We are also at a disadvantage against them, unless we can bypass Kuqa to reach Wensu and AKS. "The man with glasses doesn't think that the western route is easier than the southern route, because he still knows what he doesn't say.
The woman surnamed Xu ...... still didn't get angry, but just looked at this side, as if waiting for Hong Tao to finally make an idea.
"It's useless to look at me, I'm just a herdsman, and no matter how knowledge...... I'm a herdsman" It's a pity that Hong Tao really doesn't have the courage of the actor in the movie, and in the expectant eyes of the beauties, he still spreads his hands and says he can't do anything.
"Mr. Cao, since it's so dangerous, let's let him go, we can't take another life." Representative Xu is very heroine-like, compassionate and compassionate, and wants to let Hong Tao go.
“…… We can also take the southern route and let him go after WL County. The man with glasses obviously thought more, hesitated for a moment and came up with another plan.
"This big brother, please rest assured, I will pay you whether you arrive in Kuqa or not. This is an advance payment, and the other half will be paid after WL County! Representative Xu seemed to know the glasses man's thoughts, nodded, walked down the dirt slope, took out two boxes and handed them to Hong Tao.
"Herders never need extra pay, so let's find a way to cross the river first. If the south is so dangerous, it's better to go west. I happen to know an old-world highway that can bypass Kuqa, but I don't know what it has become now, would you like to try it? ”
The two boxes are also familiar to Hong Tao, and Iszawi once let himself be entrained, called Antibiotic No. 1. But the woman took it out a little different, the appearance of the box is almost the same, and the font on it is antibiotic No. 3.
Since she is from the East Asian Union, and this antibiotic is produced in the East Asian Union, judging from this, it seems that No. 3 should be more effective than No. 1, and the price must be higher. If you take back the Yining base and sell it, it is indeed a very good reward.
But Hong Tao changed his mind, he is such a character who does not go backwards. If you treat me well, I will try to reciprocate. If you don't disappoint me, I will also be pretending to be righteous, even if I pay more, I don't feel at a loss.
Just now, this woman's attitude is very much in line with his appetite, and if she says that if she hires well, she must be trustworthy, and she can't just think about how convenient she is like a man with glasses. If you look up to me, I'll sell my strength.
As for whether it is dangerous, what is dangerous? In the past few years, I have wandered around northern Xinjiang, from people to animals to zombies, what kind of danger has I never encountered, and now I am not still alive.
Even if these two people didn't suddenly appear, they still had to explore southern Xinjiang, in addition to the paths that everyone knows, they must find a few more that others don't know, otherwise how can it be called exploration. If you have to say danger, the two of them are actually taking risks with themselves.
"I, I really don't know what to ......" The man with glasses obviously didn't expect this result, even if what Hong Tao said was very unguaranteed, but at this moment, going south and west is almost a dead end, why can't he fight.
"Don't thank you...... Let's move a little faster. The innkeeper had already seen through your identity last night, but the man he sent out to report the news had fallen off a cliff and died. But as long as he finds out that the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, he will definitely send someone to report to Barentai, and there is not much time left for us. ”
Hong Tao stretched out his hand and motioned to the man with glasses not to go on, now is not the time to talk nonsense, don't think that passing through Tashkent Town is equivalent to getting out of the control area of the redeemer.
He could see that there was a woman who pretended to be an outcast, and the innkeeper should be able to see it, and the result of his analysis would not be less than his own, and what would follow must be the full pursuit of the ascetics.
Not only do they have horses, but they also have motorcycles and off-road vehicles, and they have to get off the road they know before the guys chase them, otherwise it will be hard to get out of it if they get glued.
But how do you cross the river? Hong Tao unloaded a package from the horse, and when he opened it, it was full of sheepskin and something similar to sheepskin. This is the tool he used to cross the river, the sheepskin bag.
There are sheepskin rafts on the Yellow River, and in fact the Kirgiz and Kazakh herdsmen do the same. It's just that the river they need to cross when they transfer is not as wide as the Yellow River, so there is no need to make a raft. Each person can be strapped to two skins to increase buoyancy, and clothes, weapons and household items are placed on the horse's back.
Horses are better swimmers than humans, they can breathe a lot of air to fill their lungs and abdominal cavity before entering the water, they don't sink in the water at all, and they can even cross the river with their children, even saving sheepskin bags. Of course, there is still a difference between horses and hippos, and they can only swim for a short time, and they cannot swim long distances.
"If I sink, don't save it, take this with you and send Representative Xu to AKS, where it's all our people!" When taking off his clothes, the man with glasses showed more ink than the woman, and he was reluctant to take off the remaining autumn clothes and pants, so he hesitantly took out a necklace from his boots and handed it to Hong Tao, his tone was very heavy.
"I'll take it first, don't worry, this little river won't drown you...... Beauty, let's go! Compared with the man with glasses, Hong Tao and the woman surnamed Xu are much happier, one only has pants and short-sleeved tops, and the other is directly at three o'clock.
In fact, Hong Tao is talking nonsense, although this river is not as wide as the Yellow River, and the water is not so turbulent, it is still easy to drown people. Because the water temperature is very low, it is still not high even in the summer sun. It doesn't make a difference if the water goes down, and my hands and feet will be numb in a few minutes.
But he was also right, as long as he tied his skin and dragged the horse's tail and didn't let go, he really wouldn't be drowned, but he was frozen enough, and when he climbed to the other side, the glasses man and Representative Xu were already freezing.
"Representative Xu, you're definitely not an ordinary member, are you?" Three people and two horses, just spaced apart to change clothes. Hong Tao was not polite, just stood opposite the woman surnamed Xu, and chatted with others on horseback.
"Compared to you, my training is ordinary. Until now, do you insist that you are a herder? ”
Representative Xu is very embarrassed like Zhou Yuan who wears underwear and negotiates with himself and behaves very freely, even if he knows that the man is tall enough to see his body on horseback, he still does not dodge and has a clear mind.
"Ha, there are some things that don't need training, and no one can be trained every day from birth. You may not have seen Kazakh and Kirghiz herders move from place to place, and if there is heavy snow on the way, they can only sleep in the snow with their sheep in sheepskins. Even if the sheep freeze to death, and the sheepdogs freeze to death, they can still survive. Don't underestimate herders, especially those named Bijes. ”
In fact, surnamed Xu still underestimated Hong Tao's height, he took advantage of others to bend over, stood on tiptoe and saw not only the upper body, but also the lower body, and then he was relieved. Compared with Zhou Yuan, it can only be regarded as average, and it is not troublesome at all.
"Will the herdsmen use pistols with silencers?" Deputy Xu was extremely curious about this guy who claimed to be a herdsman, but he didn't show it out of professionalism.
He deliberately used his cloak to block it as he undressed, and stuffed something into his sheepskin bag, but the pistol did not escape his eyes, and then he became more curious, and even began to wonder if it was a counterintelligence agent sent by the Redeemer.
"These are Russian-made pistols, they are very powerful and have a lot of ammunition, and they were brought in by Russian survivors. You have to know that having a silencer can save your life when you search the ruins, and I spent a lot of money to get one, which is nothing more expensive than my life. ”
Peeking and chatting didn't slow down Hong Tao's dressing, and he did need to avoid being discovered his secrets, such as a tactical vest, an automatic rifle, a grenade, and the HK45 pistol. As for this Russian-made pistol, look hard.
"Won't you take off your snow goggles at any time?" For this answer, Deputy Xu can only say that he can't find a thorn, but he doesn't believe it 100%. This man is so good at serious nonsense that even those who have been trained in this area can't figure out whether his sentence is true or false.
"I've been stabbed in the eye by snow blindness and can't see bright light. Do you know how much snow on snowy mountains reflects sunlight? Especially in the summer, it's like being in the middle of a solar panel, and if you don't pay attention, you can get burned. Oh yes, if you have the chance, you must go to the snow-capped mountains to see, summer, it must be summer, it's beautiful! ”
Hong Tao is not only first-class in kung fu, but also top-notch in crooked building, and he can bring people into his train of thought for a long time. Unless you turn his face, then he won't talk to you, and instead he'll have bullets and knives.
