After answering the phone, a short-haired woman's voice came from the other end: "Brother, where have you been? Have you finished the matter?"
In fact, early this morning, the short-haired girl's family called me when they were setting off. At that time, I told them that we were almost at our destination.
"Well, the things have been done. We will get on the national highway soon. If we don't rest on the way, we may arrive in Yinchuan tonight. But Zhao Hu is too tired and may have to rest on the way. We should arrive in Yinchuan tomorrow morning."
"Then let's book a room for you. I'll tell you the address then, and you can just stay there when you come."
I said, "Forget it, we may not arrive tonight. If something happens on the way, we may not arrive tomorrow. Let's drive by ourselves when we arrive."
The short-haired girl said it didn't matter. It wouldn't cost much to get an extra room. It didn't matter. I thought about it. It wasn't a big deal for her. I said it was up to you. Just tell me the address and room number once you've made the reservation.
"Then remember to call me when you're almost there. If it's midnight, don't call. Just send me a text message. I'll see it when I wake up in the morning."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hu smiled evilly from the side: "Did that little bitch call you?"
I ignored Zhao Hu and leaned directly on the chair to take a nap.
Zhao Hu still refused to let me go and punched my arm with his hand: "No, let's have a good chat. What happened to you and her in those days in the desert? I feel like her attitude towards you has changed." It's a bit too much, we are such good brothers, don't be so stingy."
I said nothing really happened, so stop thinking about it.
"Pull him down, only a devil can believe it."
"Drive your car carefully. When you get to the national highway and pass by a hotel or something, you can stop and have a rest. We are not in a hurry. We can go to Yinchuan tomorrow."
Zhao Hu sighed and said: "Hey, you guys should get a driver's license later, so that you can drive alternately, otherwise I will be too tired to drive alone."
I said okay, I will take the exam next time I go back to my hometown.
Zhao Hu and I found a hotel to rest for a few hours at noon that day, and then continued on the road when it got dark. When we were having dinner at around nine o'clock in the evening, Xiaoye called me.
After answering the phone, Xiaoye told me the good news, saying that she had talked with Scar Man's accomplice and that her father had indeed left Alxa and followed a Sichuan man to Henan.
When I heard that we were going to Henan, I was a little bit dumbfounded. Henan is in the south of our province. We have just gone north to Inner Mongolia, will we have to go south to Henan again?
Without thinking much, I asked Xiaoye: "Does this mean your dad is still safe now, right?"
"Yes, the man said that my dad is in pretty good condition, and the place they went to is Henan, not a desert. He should be very safe now."
When Xiaoye said this, I could feel the joy in her tone.
"Then how many days have they been gone?" I continued to ask.
"It's been a while. When we first came to Ekenhuduge Town, he had already left. He may have stayed in Henan for a long time now."
"Then what is your father's purpose in going to Erkenhuduge Town? Is it to find the ancient city of Muta?"
"Well, he said yes, but he had a conflict with other people, so he followed the Sichuan man towards Henan."
I thought that her father had left with that Sichuan man. If he had also gone to find the ancient city of Muta, maybe no one would be here now.
At the same time, I also thought about what the driver of the large truck told me before. At that time, two people ran out of the desert, and one of them was from Sichuan.
But this Sichuan man is obviously not the same person as Xiaoye, but I don't know if they are accomplices or something.
I asked Xiaoye what her plans were now, and she said she planned to check on Jianzui tomorrow to see if Jianzui could be discharged from the hospital. If Jianzui's physical condition was okay, she would prepare to go to Henan.
I said okay, we might go to Yinchuan in the middle of the night and rest for half a day in Yinchuan. We will arrive in Ekenhudug Town probably tomorrow afternoon. We will meet up then.
Xiaoye also asked us to wait in Yinchuan so that they could rush to Yinchuan and then go south to Henan with us, saving us more miles.
I said it would be better to go there, mainly because the girl with short hair and the high nose bridge might have some things that I need to solve. Xiaoye said that's fine, so let's go to Yinchuan.
After hanging up the phone, I told Zhao Hu about the situation. After hearing this, Zhao Hu started laughing and scolding: "Xiaoye's dad is really good at running. He first ran to our province, then to Inner Mongolia, and now he's running away again." He went to Henan, and you just said that he just made money by making money, and that he was running around blindly, and we had to chase him after him."
I said that if we take someone else’s salary, it’s not right to run behind the scenes.
Zhao Hu said: "If we find the person earlier, wouldn't we be able to escape earlier? Then I will go back and follow Yuan Fuqiang to join the society. It is too dangerous to work in the house, so it is safer to join the society."
"Then if you find Xiaoye's father, you won't want to touch me anymore?"
"If you are short of money, you must still touch it." As he said that, Zhao Hu suddenly frowned: "Oh, if we go south to Henan again, what will your brother do? Your brother is not in the Northwest. ? Then the possibility of you finding your brother will be even smaller, right? "
Zhao Hu's words made me smile bitterly: "Yes, I thought I would be able to find news about my brother this time, but now it seems there is no hope."
"It's okay. Although your brother is on the run, he will always pay attention to the news in his hometown. As long as you go back and make a scene in your hometown, he will know that Zhang Qingshan will not dare to do anything to him when you go back. He will definitely go back or take the initiative. Contact you."
I said I hope so.
"Then let's call Sister Yuan quickly and tell her not to leave in a hurry. If we really want to go to Henan then, just let her go south."
I nodded, then called Sister Yuan and told her the situation.
Sister Yuan was very happy when she heard that the next event would be in Henan. She said that at least she no longer had to go to remote mountains or deserts, and her life safety could easily be guaranteed.
I said that was not necessarily the case. If we went to a busy city or a crowded place, we would be easily arrested. I would rather flee in the desert than get caught.
Sister Yuan told me to spit three times on the ground immediately. It was unlucky to say such words, but I didn’t want to get caught.
I sighed three times, chatted briefly with her and hung up the phone. After eating with Zhao Hu, the short-haired girl called me and asked me when I would arrive in Yinchuan. If I could arrive before twelve o'clock, she would You can wait for me. If you can't arrive, I'll see you tomorrow.
I said it should be midnight and let her sleep first.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hu still looked at me with a smirk.
I knew what he was going to say, so I said first, "Don't fart, kid, hold it back for me."
"Damn it, I haven't spoken yet, you know what I'm going to say."
"Nonsense, if you stick your butt up, I'll know what you're going to fart."
"I...forget it, let's go and sleep for a while. Once you're done, we'll set off. We'll try to get to Yinchuan as soon as possible."
Zhao Hu and I arrived in Yinchuan at around four o'clock in the middle of the night. After arriving, we went to the hotel the short-haired woman mentioned and stayed in the room she had arranged in advance.
Because I was so sleepy, I fell asleep not long after lying down.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I was woken up by the knock on the door.
"Brother Jianjun, are you in the room?"
It was the voice of a short-haired woman.
Before I could say anything, Zhao Hu, who was also woken up, scolded: "You idiot, I'm so sleepy, can't you let me sleep a little longer?"
