With kind words and the fact that we have become friends with his daughter Kestrel, he should be able to satisfy my sincere request for marriage.
But what I didn't expect was that the village chief looked very embarrassed after taking two puffs of the cigarette I handed him.
"Well, it stands to reason that Hanzi is your distant relative. There is nothing wrong with taking you to see him. It's just that the people on the scientific expedition team have told them not to let outsiders get close to disturb their work progress. Even I can only do that. It’s a bit embarrassing to greet people from afar, run errands for them, etc.”
The village chief looked very embarrassed at the moment, but I was already sneering in my heart.
Because the village chief's beady little eyes have exposed his mercenary thoughts.
I turned my head and looked at Fatty Wu behind me, who was listening to my conversation with the village chief.
Fatty Wu immediately understood when he looked at me. He hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face, then smoothly took out a small wad of hundred-yuan bills from his arms and stuffed them into the village chief's pocket.
"Hey, village chief, please help me. You see, we can't just wait here forever. If that idiot doesn't come back for ten days, won't we have to wait for ten days? Village Chief, help me!"
The village chief saw his shriveled pocket suddenly bulging, and he suddenly smiled.
"Ahem, seeing that you are also eager to beg for love and are so attached to me, that's all. I will take you there, but I can only take two people with me at most. And don't run around when you get there. You have to listen to me on everything. That’s fine.”
Seeing that the village chief agreed, Fatty Wu and I looked at each other, then pretended to be very grateful and thanked the village chief profusely.
Kestrel is a woman with a bold personality. She seems to be dissatisfied with her father's mercenary character. The unhappy expression immediately appeared on her face, but the other party is her father, and she can't tell. What? He could only look at us with an awkward look and smile.
Although the five of us are a team and we all want to visit the graveyard, the village chief also said that only two of us can go.
After much deliberation, I finally decided to go with the old man, an old man and a young man.
Although Fatty Wu has met fools before, he is a man who speaks freely. This time we went to inquire about the situation, just in case this guy got into trouble because of his mouth and exposed our details. , but it’s not easy to handle.
Liu Tingting has a pampered look on her face, and the most important thing is that she looks so hot. You must know that the beast who dares to attack Ximei is among that group of people. If she goes there, won't she be remembered immediately? .
Although Liu Tingting and I are natural enemies, I don't want that to happen.
Not to mention Gouzi, who has a bitter look on his face, as if someone owes him eight hundred dollars, which affects his mood.
I simply asked the old man to go with me. On the one hand, the old man was relatively stable, spoke with ease, and had great skills. The most important thing was that he could pretend to be my elder.
By the way, who would doubt the identity of an old coffin man?
You can see the huge grave mound at a glance from the yard. The straight-line distance is only about two or three kilometers. If you walk, you can walk there in more than half an hour.
But that was on a flat road. In the Gobi Desert, even the roads in the village were covered with yellow sand. It was not easy to reach the tomb mound that seemed so close at hand.
Therefore, transportation must be used, and this transportation is a camel.
There were three camels, one for each of us. In addition to the three of us, there were two woven baskets on both sides of the camels. They were bulging with unknown items, and they were covered with cloth.
Of course, our attire looked like outsiders, so the village chief specially found two tattered clothes for me and the old man.
In order to pretend to be more like people from this village, the old man and I smeared our faces frequently, just to look like us.
After about half an hour, we finally arrived in front of the tomb. From a distance, we saw seven or eight tents stationed not far away.
At the edge of the tomb, there were more than a dozen people busy.
"Stop, who is it?"
With a loud shout, a tough guy with a fierce look blocked our way.
"Hey, little brother, it's me. I'm the village chief of Mofen Village. You don't recognize me."
"Of course I know you are the village chief. I didn't ask you. I asked them who they are."
As he said that, the strong man looked towards the two of us, his sharp eyes looking up and down on the old man and I.
In order not to arouse his suspicion, I deliberately pretended to be nonchalant.
"Oh, they are the laborers I hired to deliver watermelons to everyone. This watermelon is very valuable in the Gobi Desert. I spent a lot of effort to get it. I don't want to give it to everyone. Go and get rid of the anger?"
"watermelon?"
The strong man strode towards us. After lifting the cloth covering the basket, he saw big round watermelons.
After raising his head and looking at the old man and me again, the strong man took out a watermelon from the basket, then waved to the village chief and said: "Okay, come over, unload the watermelon and hurry up." leave."
The camel continued to move forward. At this time, the old man urged the camel to come to my side and whispered to me: "The man just now walked steadily. At first glance, he is a practitioner with good leg skills. Be careful."
I have to say that this old man's observation skills are quite keen, but I also discovered this, but I didn't understand it as thoroughly as I thought.
Finally, we arrived at the center of the scientific expedition team camp. The village chief called on the old man and me to help carry the watermelons, and placed all the watermelons on a fairly flat sandy ground.
"Come on, come on, let's eat watermelon first to relieve the heat."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so people who were busy before all put down their work and ran over to eat watermelon.
The village chief greeted those people with a few polite words, then ran straight to one of the tents holding what looked like the best and biggest watermelon in his arms.
While those people were concentrating on eating watermelon, I looked around and found that there were more than a dozen huge sand pits on the edge of the huge tomb in front of me.
In an inconspicuous corner, in a rather simple tent, I saw two people, one of whom I recognized at a glance, it was the fool who sold me the bronze at that time.
I turned my head and winked at the old man, then picked up a watermelon and trotted towards the simple tent where the fool was.
The old man greeted them enthusiastically like the village chief did before, in order to distract their attention.
"Hey you two, our village chief has sent watermelons to express condolences to everyone. I saw that you two didn't want to go there, so I sent one to you. Please take the opportunity to quench your thirst."
"Well, it's just right. Smoke is coming out of my throat. Give it to me."
The man in front of me is not very strong, but there is a hint of violence between his eyebrows. He must be a ruthless character.
Snapped!
The man smashed the watermelon into several pieces with one palm, and started eating as he was doing.
While the man was eating the watermelon, I turned my head and looked at the fool standing aside.
I saw that the fool's face was very ugly. He looked like he was malnourished. He could not stop swaying as he stood there. His lips were so dry that they were peeling. He was staring at those few people at the moment. A piece of watermelon is being swallowed.
"Oh, silly brother, you must be thirsty too."
As I said that, I took a piece of watermelon and handed it to Hanzi in front of the man.
The man glared at me first, but maybe he was worried about something, so he didn't stop me.
The idiot's eyes were all focused on the watermelon. When he saw me handing it over to him, he grabbed it with both hands without thinking. He ate a huge piece of watermelon in two or three bites. It was obvious that he was really thirsty. .
After finishing eating the watermelon, the fool reluctantly began to nibble on the watermelon rind, obviously unwilling to give up any opportunity to replenish water.
Seeing that I was busy, I took another piece and handed it to him.
Just like that, I took three pieces of watermelon to the fool one after another, which made the man a little unhappy.
He raised his head and looked at the group of people not far away, where there were many watermelons. After giving me a fierce look, he strode out of the simple tent.
