Volume 1: The Mystery of Dunhuang Chapter 26 Goodbye Hanzi
After eating four pieces of watermelon in a row, Hanzi relieved his spirit a little.
It was at this time that he raised his head and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"Alas, who are you, are you from our Desert Tomb Village?"
Hanzi didn't even recognize me, which shows that my outfit still plays a role in hiding people's eyes.
"Brother Han, it's me, don't you remember, in Tongcheng, 30,000 yuan ......!"
Hanzi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then came to me and carefully identified it.
"Little brother, it's really you, why are you here?"
"You're here for the stuff there, too?"
Hanzi is a smart man, and he guessed the purpose of my coming here at once.
I have nothing to hide about this, so I nodded and said, "Brother Hanzi, I already know about my sister-in-law, and I ask you to mourn and change." ”
It's okay that I don't mention his wife, but tears flowed out of my eyes when I mentioned it, "It's all those beasts, if it weren't for them, how could my aunt die, and it also affected my sister, what kind of sin did I create in my previous life." ”
I don't want to make too much noise so as not to arouse the suspicion of those people.
I hurriedly made a low gesture to him, and then asked him, "Brother Hanzi, tell me the truth, what are they arresting you here for?" ”
Hanzi wiped the tears on his face with his big rough hands, looked around vigilantly, sighed and said to me, "Aren't you looking for a way to go down......?"
Hanzi told me briefly, and I got a general idea.
Everyone knows that Hanzi and his wife are from Shaanxi, and the reason why they came to this place where birds don't thousands of miles away is actually because the two of them eloped without the consent of their families.
Or they were worried that their families would find them, so they came to the Gobi Desert, where the environment is so harsh.
Ximei was born after the two came to this desert tomb village, and they are considered to be native-born children, and they live very poorly on weekdays, relying on some odd jobs for the village chief's family to maintain the family's livelihood.
Just a few months ago, the man's wife suddenly lost her appetite, and at first she could eat a little thin, but then she vomited what she ate.
At that time, Hanzi thought that his wife was the second child, but he never thought of finding the village doctor for a check, it was not the case at all.
As Hanzi's wife became more and more emaciated and emaciated, Hanzi took her to the hospital in Dunhuang, and the hospital checked that Hanzi's wife had a tumor in her stomach and needed surgery, and the operation cost alone would be 80,000 yuan.
80,000 yuan, where can the Hanzi family get so much money, and later after inquiry, it is said that Tongcheng, which is thousands of miles away, is a national key poverty alleviation medical treatment, and the operation fee is also very low, basically 20,000 or 30,000 yuan can be done.
30,000 yuan, which is also an astronomical amount for Hanzi, borrowed it all over the village, but it only borrowed a thousand, which is far from 30,000 yuan.
Hanzi is a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi, since ancient times Xi'an is full of treasures, Hanzi has also been exposed to it since he was a child, he naturally knows that the things dug out of the ground are valuable.
It also happened that when Hanzi and his wife first arrived in this desert tomb village, they heard that a few dolls went to play on the edge of the tomb mound and picked up a broken bronze sword.
So Hanzi went, just in time for the sudden huge sandstorm, but after the sandstorm blew over, a strange stone door was scraped out of the back of the mound.
Hanzi tried to push but didn't push, so he gave up, just when he found a few things scattered on the ground next to the door, Hanzi grabbed three things casually and hurriedly ran back.
Later, when the hospital paid the fee and was preparing for the operation, a stranger suddenly came, and in the name of love donations, he tricked the couple out of the hospital and got into the car.
Forced him to lead the way to the place where the two bronzes in my hand were unearthed, or else he would kill the husband and wife.
After a toss and turn, the couple returned to Mofen Village again, the bumps along the way, coupled with the rapid deterioration of Hanzi's wife's condition, Hanzi's wife went the next day after returning.
Before Hanzi had time to grieve, the gang used Ximei as a threat, and Hanzi had no choice but to bury his wife hastily, and then followed the gang to the grave.
Coincidentally, it may have been a sandstorm later, so that the stone gate that was exposed before was buried by the yellow sand again, and there was no clue to follow after arriving, so it could only be dug around.
After listening to Hanzi's words, I nodded slightly, and then said, "Brother Hanzi, in fact, you know the specific location of the stone gate, right?" ”
"Well, I know, I just don't want them to find it, they killed my mother-in-law, I hate them to death."
"And...... If I help them find the stone gate, I will be useless to them, and they will definitely kill me when the time comes, but I am not afraid of death, and I just went down to be with my aunt when I died, but what should I do, who will take care of her if I die, what if I am also bullied by that group of beasts! ”
Speaking of which, I already understood Hanzi's inner thoughts, I raised my hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Hanzi, you did the right thing, just drag them like this, only in this way will you be safe." ”
"Oh, by the way, there is one thing I have to tell you, Ximei was picked up by me, and now she is with my companion at the village chief's house, so you don't have to worry."
After that, I told Hanzi everything that happened last night, and of course I added fuel to it.
After listening to my words, Hanzi was so angry that I hurriedly told him to calm down and not to annoy the gang.
Hanzi is more and more grateful to me, if it weren't for this occasion, I'm afraid Hanzi would kneel down for me again.
"Little brother, you are a good person, I know that you are also here for the things below, you are kind to me, I can tell you where the stone gate is......"
So the boy came to my ear and whispered quietly.
After a while, the man patted his round stomach and came back satisfied.
I didn't want to arouse his suspicions, so I said hello to Hanzi and walked away quickly.
When I got to the old man's side, I found that there was a mess in front of me, and more than a dozen watermelons had been eaten cleanly.
A man of the same size was sitting on the ground burping, but suddenly his eyes turned to me.
"Alas, boy, I see that you are a little familiar, have you seen it somewhere?"
Looking at each other, I immediately smiled, I have indeed seen it, it is in Ximei's house, and this guy in front of me is that beast!
"This big brother said with a smile, I am from this village, you must have seen it."
Being able to ask such a thing shows that this guy didn't really recognize me, probably because he was a thief at the time, just thinking about running away, he didn't see my appearance clearly at all, plus I was dressed in a rustic way, he definitely couldn't recognize me.
"That's right, that's fine, let's pack up these melon skins and leave."
I smiled and nodded, and began to clean up the battlefield with the old man.
When I recognized the brute, I really wanted to go up and kill him, but for the sake of the big picture, I still restrained the urge in my heart.
I secretly said to myself in my heart, sooner or later I will let this beast get the retribution he deserves.
After putting all the melon skins back into the baskets on both sides of the camel, the old man and I rode on the camel again.
It was at this time that the village chief came out of the tent he had entered before.
When he came out, the village chief was carrying a lot of things in his hands, wine, meat, fish, etc., and the folds on his face were almost wrinkled together.
"Village chief, thank you for your support of our geological expedition team, I still have something to do here, so I won't send you."
Behind the village chief came a middle-aged man who looked to be forty or fifty years old, this middle-aged man wore a pair of glasses and looked like a scholar.
It looks soft and weak, but under the glasses, it is difficult to hide a trace of anger between the eyebrows.
