Chapter 20

() Found the way home!

There is no doubt that the earliest person to get up the next day was Ye Liuxi.

Changdong originally wanted to help her, but she was too fast, like a wild horse that stumbled but broke away.

If you want to maintain a sense of mystery, it is best not to get along day and night. No wonder the mysterious characters in the story all come and leave suddenly. The camera never explains how they eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

The bed in Datongpu was like a pancake turning over. After turning over one, Changdong rolled up the floor and mat it out. He saw Ye Liuxi in the distance, holding the Yadan Tutai and limping back.

The main contradiction was resolved, and the first one was mentioned. Changdong looked at Fei Tang who was rinsing his mouth with a hulala beside him: "Didn't you say you should perform well in front of your sister Xi? Don't help her?"

Fei Tang shook his mouth and went there excitedly.

This thief's nest also has a fireworks-like side. It makes a big pot of porridge for breakfast, and also carries out a short-legged glass with three brackets. It is not uncommon to have pancakes on the top, and there are rakes, shovels, oil rubs and other tools. The strange thing is that there are raw eggs... Because the road is too bumpy, no matter how good the protection is, it will be broken, so only cooked eggs can be brought in.

Someone was sent to the customer and the boss's place, while others lined up.

Changdong sat down next to Huiba: "I'll ask you something."

Hui Ba quickly put the bowl down: "Hey, you said."

Although Changdong was not in that booklet, Huiba could see that he did not listen to Ye Liuxi's orders.

"You've been camping here?"

"It's been a while, and it's hard to find here. But," he lowered his voice, "For caution, if we do another vote or two, we'll have winter vacation."

"Winter vacation" means two meanings: one is that after a while, it will become cold here and it is not suitable for people to do activities; the other is to be a regular businessman for a while, such as building a road, opening a mine, and transporting.

This is also to avoid the limelight. If what you do happen, you will immediately go back to your own house and get back together after the limelight is over next year.

"Since it's been a while, what happened in the middle of the night...is there something unusual?"

Hui Ba understood and sucked the porridge and advised him: "Yeah! Don't listen to their nonsense. They are uncultured and superstitious. They either tell dirty jokes or ghost stories. They talk about ghosts every day. Who has ever seen ghosts?"

Changdong said: "No, please help me ask, have anyone ever seen anything during these days when they get up in the middle of the night?"

Hui Ba was a little puzzled, but he still asked for him. He knocked on the edge of the bowl and shouted at the circle of people squatting not far away: "Hey, I've heard it all. Have you ever seen anything scary when you urinate at night? You are serious, whoever makes up lies, I'll pry his teeth!"

"Peeling his teeth" is very intimidating. Those people were originally chattering, but now they are no longer active in speaking...

"No, but Yadan Tutaizi looks like a ghost at night, it's so scary."

"There is that voice, fuck it! When I sleep at night, I stuff cotton into my ears and eyes."

"I had a big night, and something jumped on my instep. Oh! There are actually rats here... Oh, can that thing be eaten? No matter how small it is, it is meat."

...

There is really nothing.

Changdong pondered and stopped talking. Instead, Fei Tang came over. He was a little clever: "Brother Dong, why are you asking this? Did you see something last night?"

Changdong answered the question: "If you walk fast today, you will be able to arrive in town at noon."

Lop Nur Town is known as Desert Town. It was built in 2002 with an area of ​​more than 50,000 square kilometers, which is larger than Hainan Island. However, for a long time, there was no permanent population. Three iron houses were built as the town government, and there was no one inside... In the past two years, in order to develop potassium salt mines, the town government, police station, and highway maintenance station were finally built. In addition, small supermarkets and restaurants were all opened in tilted earthen edifices and simple sheds.

Fei Tang couldn't understand: "Ah?"

Changdong said: "I, you and Ye Liuxi, actually you know what you want to do, and you can't do it. The road ahead is even harder to walk. I'll show you a road... There is a road in Robu Town that leads directly to Hami, which is similar to the asphalt expressway. You can go home along the highway. If you continue to follow, you will lose your arms or lose your life, you will do it yourself, think about it yourself."

He patted Fei Tang on the shoulder and stood up to find Ye Liuxi.

Fei Tang felt cold in his heart and couldn't swallow the pancakes. After a rough calculation, he calculated: the rent money that the small supermarket stopped working, the travel expenses from Xi'an to Naqi, and the money spent on renting a four-wheel drive car...

These are all costs, sunk costs, but what about the benefits? It is to have a trip to Lop Nur and then go home in shame?

Aside, a man was whispering to Hui Ba, saying, "I'll do less in this matter in the future. The things I stolen are not worth much money. Think about it, who would carry the money box to run away from Rob? I told me that if you want to make a fortune, you have to dig... Last time I heard..."

His voice became even smaller, and Fei Tang's ears were almost straightened, and he heard intermittent sounds: "...that felt blanket that was buried with him...the size of a palm...the bid was eight thousand..."

...

Ye Liuxi sat on the passenger seat of the car, frowned and lifted the wound with gauze sticky tape. Maybe he ran too fast in the morning and walked accidentally, the wound was obviously not well collected, and even blood was soaked out.

Suddenly I heard Changdong's voice: "What are you doing? I'm wrapping my wounds. Open them every day to take a look... If you plant flowers, you can dig out the seeds every day to take a look?"

Ye Liuxi ignored him and ate, sleep and go to the bathroom. He really existed everywhere.

Anyway, she was soaked in blood, so she just kept tearing off the bandage: "When will it be better?"

Chang Dong reached out and held her ankle to look.

It's similar to when she was injured yesterday. The good thing is that she just seeps blood now, but the bad thing is that she obviously didn't take it seriously, and the wound was covered with dust and sand.

Changdong went up from her wound, measured about an inch, and cut it over the back of his hand: "Just cut it from here."

Ye Liuxi said: "You want to die, do you?"

Chang Dong sneered: "'It's better to get a knife than a salt shell.' Your wound will take two or three months to heal for half a year, and it is even more common for you to heal in the first few days. You don't pay attention to it, it seems that you want to amputate your limbs... It's right. People like you who are on the booklet will have some physical characteristics. Then you will carry a knife on the left and crutches on the right, and you won't need to look through the album to recognize you."

Ye Liu bit her and then loosened her teeth, then smiled and said nothing: "Then help me get it?"

"I've finished packing, let you lift it up and play with it?"

Ye Liuxi swears: "It will definitely not happen this time."

Only then did Changdong take out the folded canvas stool and first aid kit, sit down and help her retreat the wound.

The sun is getting higher and before it can't stand the sun, the wound is a little itchy, but it doesn't hurt.

Of course she can bandage herself, but she is not as professional and exquisite as Changdong. He can twist the cotton swabs' head and slowly help you sweep off the floating sand. This patience is not something that ordinary people can do, but it is not surprising to think about it. A purely handmade shadow puppet can get more than 3,000 knives. He can sit down safely for more than two years. This knife is indeed a sharpening character...

Ye Liuxi suddenly remembered something: "Will we set out directly later?"

"Yes, I'll be in town at noon. You can take a shower. It is said that the hotel opened in the town government building is open to water."

"Just leave like that?"

Chang Dong didn't raise his head: "What if it was?"

"I pretended not to see what happened last night?"

Changdong used disinfectant to wipe the wound again: "Lop Nur is full of strange things. Do I want to go to the bottom of it one by one? Didn't Hui Ba and the others say that the quilt was pulled over and the sleep was over."

He came to Kong Yang and the others, and his destination was Longcheng. He just wanted to continue walking down. No matter how bizarre the scenery on the road was, he was not interested.

"Shadow Puppet...has nothing to do with you?"

"There are many people who can carve shadow puppets. If it is shadow puppet, it has something to do with me?" Changdong used two more tapes to fix it to prevent it from loosening. "I think I can care about it. Come and find me again, and I will look at it in front of me."

Perhaps because he knew that the camp conditions were simple and Huiba did not leave any passengers. Before the car drove, Ye Liuxi wrote his mobile phone number to him: "I am very proud of my face. Next time you meet someone from the industry, please ask me what everyone said about me. I want to hear it."

Huiba agreed and said that he would wrap it up with him.

The road to Luobu Town is relatively easy to walk. After driving for about 20 kilometers, you will reach the Hongliujing water source. The water here is slightly brackish, but it can meet the needs of life after treatment. Starting from here, there is a water supply pipe leading to the lake area. If you keep an eye on the pipe, you won’t get lost.

What's even better is that although the ground is still salt-shelled, a road specially shoveled out by a bulldozer leads to the town, so the car enters the town before noon.

As the only transit station in the lake area where you can refuel cars, get out of restaurants, and buy supplies, the town is small, but it is quite lively. Many off-road vehicles that cross the line on the horizontal line are parked on the street. Even in the simplest restaurant, there are people eating... The chance of meeting acquaintances in the industry here is even better than in Dunhuang.

Changdong drove the car to the town government, and there was a hotel upstairs. He opened a room and didn't plan to live in it. It was mainly used for bathing... It's no exaggeration. The sand in the desert and Gobi is everywhere. He put plastic bags in all electronic equipment. He picked it up the next day and could still see the fine sand in the bag. I don't know how to get in.

Not to mention people, it’s really sand everywhere in the body, hair, and ears. Occasionally, eating something will smell like sand in your mouth.

Ladies are preferred, Ye Liuxi washes first.

While she was taking a shower, Changdong took Fei Tang to the gas station to replenish the car. On the way back, he stopped at the door of a daily necessities department store.

This shop is a prefabricated house with a cellar, which is convenient for storing vegetables and even meat is sold, so there are many customers coming in and out. Changdong went in and bought ribs and picked up two more yams.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will live in Longcheng tonight, a truly barren land. If I can eat meat and drink hot soup there, it will be a great enjoyment.

When he paid, he asked Fei Tang: "How is it, have you considered it?"

Fei Tang answered smoothly: "Brother Dong, even if you come to have a trip, you will ask me to go all the place before leaving. I heard that there are Loulan, Xiaohe, and Sun Tomb to the west. I will follow your car for a while."

When answering, my eyes flashed and my expression was a little unnatural.

Changdong saw it and didn't say much. He carried the bag and walked out. As soon as he went out, he saw someone sitting on the front of his car.

The man was in his thirties, tall and strong, with a braid on the back of his head, and his upper lip and jaw were trimmed with a European and American male beard. He was unruly and held a carrot in his hand, chewing it.
