Chapter 254
Everyone was startled, and we looked in the direction Aji pointed.
I saw someone looking at us a few hundred meters away!
We saw each other, and the other party must have seen us. The distance was too far, so we couldn't tell clearly whether he was a man or a woman, nor could we clearly see the clothes the person was wearing. We only saw that the person seemed to be holding a dog.
Douyazai shouted, and the man immediately turned around and ran away with the dog.
"It's over, it's over, we've been discovered," Dou Sprout said in a panic, "Didn't you say this is no man's land? It was clearly a person just now!"
Uncle Hulu immediately said something, and Aji anxiously translated: "Uncle said it is impossible for anyone to live in this place. There is no water or food here, and birds will not fly here."
The boss said with a gloomy face: "Don't even guess, just follow me and take a look."
Since there is no one here, we are not very vigilant, which is okay, but if something goes wrong, we may end up with silver bracelets.
Following the direction in which the man left, we rode camels and chased him for two or three hours, but we didn't see a single figure, let alone a human being, nor a dog figure.
It's strange, the surrounding area is open, there are no mountains, no water, no trees. How come a big living person can disappear without a trace?
Could it be that we are all blinded? Got it all wrong?
It is possible for one person to be dazzled, but for a group of people, this is impossible.
After careful consideration, I decided that I couldn't do it any more and left here. After getting rid of the things, I took a break from the wind. Besides, we didn't have much water.
This second time looking for Blackwater City in the Alxa Desert ended in vain.
The next morning, under the leadership of Uncle Hu Lu, we rushed back all the way. We didn't stop when we passed the Hute Department. We took our things directly back to Yinchuan. To be safe, we changed to a new hotel this time.
Inside the hotel room.
"Fengzi, my right eyelid has been twitching these past two days, which is unlucky," Dou Sprout said with a drooping face.
"Don't be discouraged. Maybe it was a herdsman. He saw us digging the soil, but he may not know what we do." I didn't feel confident even when I said this.
Xiaoxuan put her chin in her hands and said, "I think we should buy some water and food, hide it, and wait for a year and a half before we come out."
I, I said you can't live well.
I can't stand that kind of life.
"There was a creak," and suddenly the door was pushed open, which startled us.
I was relieved to see that the person who came in was the head. I asked what I should do now. Do I still dare to dig for treasure near Blackwater City?
With a calm expression on his face, he nodded and said: "Go, but not recently. We have to be more honest recently and hide for a while to see what the situation is."
"Then can we still get rid of the things this time?"
He thought about it and said: "I originally planned to contact the buyer when I get back, but I thought about it yesterday. For safety reasons, I will wait for this batch of goods for a week to see."
We rarely went out for more than a week. The curtains in the hotel were kept closed during the day. We always sent someone out to buy food at night. There was a VCD in the hotel room. Dou Sprout and I lay on the sofa and watched the DVD player every day. Sometimes we were afraid of strangers. People knock on the door. After all, mice are naturally afraid of cats.
After waiting for a week, we all breathed a sigh of relief when nothing seemed to happen outside. The pile of goods and several large bags of tools were hidden under the head bed.
I thought everything was fine, so the next step was to sell the goods, divide the money, and leave Yinchuan to change places.
Unexpectedly, next, our team encountered danger for the first time.
We often walk by the river and our shoes don’t get wet. The person who discovered our problem was the young daughter of the hotel’s landlord, who is in her third year of high school.
Seedlings.
