The pigtail smiled and said: "Why, if you meet them, you plan to stop the car on the road and drive them into the ditch. We are bad bread. They are serious off-road vehicles, but Don't stop yourself and fall into the ditch."
"Get lost!" Zhao Hu turned around and glared at the braid: "Don't say anything yet. Now that I think of those stupid words you said last night, I will get angry. I have lost all my ancestors. They don't know what happened when they went back." It disgusts me."
Pigtail smiled bitterly and said a little aggrievedly: "My original intention was to say that men who wear earrings are bad guys and not good birds. I really didn't realize that I..."
"Okay, with your brains, it's weird that you can catch up to Xiaoye later."
As he said that, Zhao Hu looked at me and said he wanted to make a bet with me on whether he could meet an archaeological team along the way.
I bet you can't, but Zhao Hu bets you can. The bet is five hundred yuan.
On the subsequent road, Zhao Hu kept paying attention to various vehicles on the road, but unfortunately he never encountered the archaeological team's car again.
Not far away from Wuhai, we entered the desert. This is a desert road that is rarely visited. There are vast yellow sands on both sides of the road, and the wind and sand are also very strong. The desolate and majestic feeling makes me feel Everything seemed to be quiet inside.
At first, the view on both sides was quite vast, but when we got to the back, after entering the hinterland of the desert, there were sand dunes more than ten meters or even tens of meters high on both sides. Except for Xiaoye, it was our first time to come to the desert. Naturally, I was so excited that when I rested on the roadside at noon, I climbed up the sand dunes and played for a long time.
If we weren't in such a hurry, I think we might still have fun for a long time.
In the evening of this day, we arrived at Ekenhudug Town in Alxa Right Banner.
As for the bet I made with Zhao Hu, I must have won, because I didn’t see the archaeological team again along the way. Zhao Hu also speculated that they might really be tomb robbers. On the surface, they said they were coming to the Alxa League. Maybe We entered the desert halfway and went to rob tombs somewhere.
When we were looking for a place to stay, Xiao Zhuzi asked: "I said there is no one in this desert, and no one lived and buried there in ancient times. Why are there ancient tombs in the desert?"
I smiled and said: "In ancient times, some places were still oases. Later, when the environment deteriorated, the oases were slowly eroded by the desert. And now, the desert is expanding at a very fast rate every year. If we don't prevent sand, If we go to Gulin, many people in the northwest will migrate."
"Then move as soon as possible. Anyway, I don't think it's a good place to live here permanently. There will be sand in your mouth and throat when you breathe out, and you will get lung disease when you get old."
I said that for people, this is the hometown where they grew up. Unless it reaches a very bad situation, who is willing to leave their hometown? Moreover, every place has its own way of living, and we cannot look at it from our own perspective.
While they were chatting, Jianzui drove the car to the entrance of a small hotel.
This small hotel was very shabby, shabbier than any small hotel we had encountered before. Pigtail stretched his neck, poked his head out of the window to take a look, and then said with some disgust: "This place looks so bad. .”
"Why, you're still disgusted?" Zhao Hu looked back at Xiaozi: "After entering this town, didn't you see what happened? You have a good place to live, but you still dislike this and that?"
Xiao Zizi quickly explained: "It's not that I dislike it, I don't care if I live in the desert. The main reason is that it's uncomfortable for Xiao Ye to live here. She probably has to set up a tent on the bed to sleep at night."
"Watch your mind, you ass-licking thief." Zhao Hu said, opened the car door and got out, and Pigtail and I naturally followed.
How should I put it? Although Alxa Right Banner is very large, and Erkenhuduge Town is also the seat of the banner government, everything here can only be described as simple and desolate. The infrastructure facilities are very backward, and the quality of the hotels seems to be very poor. Low.
But this is the best hotel we have found in the area.
After opening the room, we returned to the room for a short rest. After the rest, we gathered in a room and had a simple meeting. During this period, Xiaoye called the contact person here, Lao Hu.
Lao Hu said that he had something to do today and was afraid that he would not be able to reach Ekenhudug Town. He said that he would come as soon as possible tomorrow.
We later called Sister Yuan, who said that she had just left our province and was currently in Shaanxi. It might take two days for her to come over.
Because it gets dark later here than over there. Even though it’s past nine o’clock after the meeting, it’s when the excitement starts to come outside.
Because this place is located on a traffic thoroughfare, there are people from all over the country, most of whom are truck drivers. While we were eating, I heard a man next to me with a Shaanxi accent say that he met two people on the road the day before yesterday. They were tomb robbers. They escaped from the desert and hadn't drank water for several days. If he hadn't given them a bottle of water and some food, they would both have died by now.
As soon as I heard this, I was immediately interested. I thought it couldn't be my brother or Xiaoye's father, right?
Immediately afterwards, I heard the man say that one of the tomb robbers spoke with an accent from our province. Obviously this guy was from the same province as me. Could he really be my brother?
In any case, this news is very important to me, so I naturally have to seize the opportunity to ask.
After winking at Zhao Hu and Xiao Zizi, I took the initiative to sit at their table. Then I said to the driver: "Brother, it's like this. Two of my brothers ran away from home. Someone told me that he was here. Here comes the tomb robber, I just heard you say that you met someone with an accent from our province, right?"
The driver glanced at me, then nodded: "Yes, I met one."
"Then can you describe to me what he looks like?"
"I'm quite tall, thin, with a bald head, eyebrows and so on..." At this point, the driver looked at me carefully, and then patted my thigh with some excitement: "Don't tell me, I look like you." They are quite similar, you are indeed like a family of brothers."
I was even more excited now. My brother was indeed very tall and thin, but he was not bald.
But it was understandable that he was running away, and his bald head was used as a cover. Moreover, the driver said that his facial features were very similar to mine, so he probably didn't run away.
Thinking that I finally had news about my brother, my heart started to beat faster. I then asked, "Where have they gone?"
The driver replied: "We gave them some water and food and then left. After all, they are tomb robbers. They are all desperadoes. We are also afraid that if they come into contact too much, they will rob us or something."
"Which section of road is it probably on?" I continued to ask.
"I met him on National Highway 315, halfway to Minqin and Zhangye. I don't know where he is now."
"What about the other person? Where is he from?" I continued to ask.
I was curious about the other person, thinking what if that person was Xiaoye’s father?
Although things cannot be such a coincidence, there is always a chance, right?
"People from Sichuan speak Sichuan dialect. They are short and thin, have dark skin and are a bit ugly."
The driver's words naturally disappointed me. Since he is from Sichuan, he couldn't be Xiaoye's father.
"Then what else did the two of them talk about, such as how many accomplices they had, or where they planned to go?"
