Chapter 6(1/2)
() Found the way home!
Changdong subconsciously reached out to pick it up, and it was empty-handed.
The melon was still in Ye Liuxi's hand... She made a fake move, and just let go, she took it back and grabbed it, grabbed it in front of him, and then put it in his empty palm with a smile: "Will it be settled after taking it just now? That's it, I'm sure, mobile phone."
Changdong gave her cell phone. She dialed her number, hanged up, and handed it back to him: "Just inform me when you are ready to leave. I'm here during the day. If you can't find it, call me."
She told her to do everything, and it seemed that there was no room for bargaining. Changdong didn't want to talk too much. When he turned around and left, Ye Liuxi called him again.
"Oh, Changdong."
Changdong turned around.
"You stay in a hotel, are you?"
Chang Dong nodded and pointed in a direction: The hotel he stayed in was the best and most conspicuous in the Banner Town.
"Can you go to your bath tonight?"
She explained: "Anyway, you paid for the overnight room, so you don't need to use the bath water, so I can save you from going to the public bathroom."
Changdong frowned: "Do you don't have a bathroom at home?"
Ye Liuxi picked up the watermelon knife and knocked it on the carriage twice, with a loud bang.
"I'll just live in the car."
Changdong sent the car to the largest auto parts store in the town for pre-sale maintenance. The master who took over saw that the car looked inconspicuous. At first, he was very careless. He saw the clues when he was tightened and removed. He was surprised from time to time: "Brother, you really understand it. This modification is amazing!"
Changdong didn't say anything, sat cross-legged on the ground, borrowed paper and pen from the workers, and slowly outlined the road map.
I have been trapped in the backstage of Huimin Street, which is less than a few square meters. In the cramped space, there are only curtains and shadow puppets. Suddenly, a storm broke out like a flat ground, scrambling the dazzling colors around me into powder. I looked around and was still in the thousands of miles of Gobi.
He had known that one day he would go back: Eighteen people died, why should he live only one of them?
The ink pen shows a curved road map on the paper, and each site seems to be engraved in the mind.
The east-west travel of Lop Nur can be either positive or negative. The starting point of the positive is Yumen Pass, which is called Xitu Yumen in the industry.
He looked at the route he marked.
Yumen Pass... Sanlongsha Devil City... Peng Jiamu's missing place... Hongliudun... Lop Nur Town... The middle of the lake... Yu Chunshun's tomb... Longcheng.
On the word "Dragon City", he drew circle marks after circle.
How could Kong Yang's body arrive there?
There is a strange legend in the heart of the desert...
Those who died in the desert were never found, because there were invisible ghosts hidden under the rolling sand piles. They would carry human corpses and ride the strong wind of the Gobi Desert, walking back and forth in the desert until they were taken hundreds of thousands of miles away.
In addition to Kong Yang, there are other people, are they also embedded in the gray-white loess ridges?
It was already evening after the car was repaired, and there were a few pieces of damaged items that were out of stock. I had to wait for tomorrow to prepare. Changdong ate a bowl of noodles in the restaurant next to the car shop and walked back to the hotel.
When I arrived at the hotel door, I saw through the glass door that the hall was different from the previous two days: a few young women in seductive clothes were sitting on the sofa chatting, and I don’t know what it was saying, and I was leaning forward and backward and overwhelmed.
At the stairs on one side, there was a man and a woman hugging her upstairs, and the woman looked very familiar.
Ye Liuxi?
Changdong remembered sunny's words.
...The people who will send advertisements here tomorrow will be the ones there...
There are indeed differences between the north and the south, with a more subtle and a more lively advertisement on the north.
Since Ye Liuxi has found the next home tonight, it seems that he doesn't need to go to his room to take a shower.
Changdong pushed open the door and walked past the sofa with his eyes hanging down, and a few low voices came into his ears:
… “He secretly gave Liu Xi medicine, did you see?”
… “I saw it, I probably want to play tricks, but I’m afraid she won’t be happy… That man will be happy tonight.”
… “I didn’t remind her, she was happy to go with someone…”
Several people giggled in a ball, and there was less humane feeling in the romantic scene: their lives were not satisfactory, so they were happy to see others in trouble.
Changdong frowned and walked to the elevator to press the button: Most of the people who take the stairs are guests living on the second floor, and the elevator must be used on the third floor or above.
When the elevator arrived, Changdong went in and pressed the floor. No one took it with him. The elevator door slowly closed. The elevator in the small place had advertisements all over the four sides. Even the carpets were printed with restaurant slogans, indicating that 15% off for the whole year.
This is Ye Liuxi's own "work". She must be used to any of the guests' interests, so she doesn't need to meddle in other people's business.
When I arrived at the floor, Changdong got out of the elevator and walked to the room, I suddenly hesitated.
Someone drugged her, but it was reasonable. Should she remind her?
He walked past the door and went down the second floor from the evacuation stairs.
The corridor was quiet.
The lobby of this hotel is high, and the space on the second floor is squeezed. There are few rooms, all in a single row. The door faces the corridor. There are several rooms that have not been on and the lights are empty. There are about a dozen rooms that have been checked in, and only one room has a sign "Do not disturb" on it.
Changdong went up to knock on the door, but no one answered. His hands were a little stronger: "Ye Liuxi?"
After trying several times, there was still no movement inside. Changdong looked down at the lock. At this moment, someone suddenly spoke behind him: "You call me?"
Changdong quickly turned around.
It was Ye Liuxi, who carried a bath basket and a clothes bag in his left hand and a pair of slippers in his right hand. The expression on his face was even stranger than him: "You know that I can't afford to stay in a hotel, why would you knock on the door of a room and call my name?"
Changdong took back his hand: "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you say you'll take a shower at night? My car parked in the back parking lot and came up from the back stairs. I heard you calling me... Don't you live on the third floor?"
Changdong said: "I recognized the wrong person."
When Ye Liuxi was taking a shower, Changdong went to the second floor again: He always felt something was wrong with what happened just now.
The lights were on at the door of the room, but no one answered the answer no matter how loud it was. He tried to dial the room number using the telephone in the corridor, but no one answered the answer.
Changdong walked around the parking lot behind the hotel from the stairs.
The parking lot is actually a semi-open land. There are many cars parked inside, including private cars and electric tricycles. It is not only open to hotel guests. He stood in the parking lot and looked up at the hotel building.
The dark walls almost blend into the night. The lighted windows are like huge eyes embedded in the dark. Some rooms are drawn with curtains, and occasionally there are figures on the curtains.
When the cold wind blew, Changdong shivered, turned around and wanted to go upstairs. After walking two steps, his heart suddenly moved.
He turned to look at a window on the second floor.
It is not unusual to have no lights on inside. The occupancy rate of this hotel is not high, and there are many empty doors.
What’s strange is that the room has a window... The flag town has a lot of wind and sand, and the windows are rarely opened. Even if you want to open the window to breathe, you will choose when there is no wind at noon, not to mention that it is night now, and the temperature is continuing to fall.
There is only one room with a window in the entire building.
Changdong loosened the upper zipper of his clothes, moved his head and neck, took a few steps back, ran and accelerated. He rushed onto the wall, pulled up his body, stretched his arms, grabbed the air conditioner plug-in, and used the force to lift the air into the window.
There is movement in this room.
Changdong stood at the window for a while, and gradually saw clearly with the faint light outside.
A fat man lay on the bed, naked, tied his hands and feet, a pillowcase stuffed in his mouth, and was ummy in his throat. He was trying to break free, but to no avail.
Changdong walked to the bedside.
The man struggled even harder, as if he wanted to ask for help, but seemed to be afraid that the visitor would be detrimental to him.
After a while, Changdong bent down, grabbed the quilt that was thrown on the ground and lifted it up, throwing the quilt on the man.
The hot water flows in the hotel very strong and stable. In contrast, the water from the public bathroom is like an old cow pulling a broken cart, and it cannot be urged or kicked.
Ye Liuxi was satisfied with washing, changed her clothes and pulled a towel to wipe her hair.
Changdong was watching TV, but he couldn't tell that such a big man actually loved to watch bloody mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas: his daughter-in-law was pulling the man and relentlessly. On the other side, the mother-in-law sat on the windowsill like a donkey, shouting at the top of her lungs: "If you don't drive her away today, I'll jump down!"
Ye Liuxi wiped her hair and glanced at the TV: She wanted to see if the mother-in-law jumped or not.
At this moment, Changdong raised the remote control and pressed it, and the TV was blacked out.
Ye Liuxi felt that he had done it on purpose and frowned at him.
Changdong met her eyes: "I've been to that room."
"What?"
"What did you do?"
It seemed that he could not pretend to be foolish, Ye Liuxi put the towel on the side and reached out to grab the hair: "Did you put the person?"
"Cover him with a quilt."
Ye Liu spoke in Western sarcasm: "I really can't tell, you have a Bodhisattva's heart."
"Do you know that with the current temperature, when you open the window, you will take off all night, and if you are light, you will lose the temperature and freeze to death?"
Ye Liuxi casually said: "So what?"
Changdong stared at her: "That person was frozen to death, it was a murder. So many eyes saw you hugging him, and the police were the first to come to you."
Ye Liuxi smiled: "That's what I think about? Are you afraid I will go to jail?"
To be continued...
